Physical Education remains an important class in the schedules of the orthopedically handicapped. Pitching the ball is jeff Gardnerg standing behind home base is Charlie Blondeaug and batting with the aid of Coach Kevin Byrne is Donnie Green. Need- o-knowbasics Required courses give necessary information Check left, check right, proceed. This familiar command was heard in the simulator room in Driver Education. Driver Education was a required course for students nearing the age of 16 until 1983 when the class became an elective. Many people felt that it should be required of all students. I think that all students should take Driver Education because it gives them not only experience but safety tips on defensive driving as well, senior Natalie Menzies said. Regardless of the fact that Driver Education became an elective, the number of students who enrolled increased. I feel the student enrollment increased because the community has wanted Driver Education in the curriculum, Driver Education teacher, Mr. Horner Askins, said. Other courses remained required through the changing schedule, such as Health. They shouldn't make us take Health. Class choices should be left up to the individual, freshman Cammie Davis said. But others felt different. According to Health teacher, Mr. Doug Bloch, Health was very important. I hope after a student has completed Health that their decisions concerning Health would be made with some factual background, Mr. Bloch said. Physical education was an- other area of study which students had no choice about. The class was one semester, and each students had to have three credits. Many people didn't mind physical education classes be- ing required because they enjoyed it. I really like P.E. It's a break from the rest of my classes, junior Troy Duffield said. Physical education teacher, Miss Sue Schuble, stressed the importance of the subject area. Our society doesn't get enough physical activity. PEX DRIVER ED! HEALTH

Enrolling in one music class involved time for preparation, but enrolling in both band and chorus was another story. There is a great deal of overlapping. It can be difficult having two per- formance classes in a row, but it's worth the time, senior Scott Pusateri said. Each music department offered a strong friendship environment. Both groups are most enjoyable because when we win, itfs a group effort, sophomore Sam Clifton leX19tefsSed?bxffi1embfrS Offt.hCiSymphimic i said.

After every Win the band earns, we all gather in a circle, hold hands, and sing 'We are the Champions' Cby Queenj. It's funny how something so simple brings us close togeth- er, junior Tammy Holden said. Although most students, like Sam, whose future plans where music was concerned meant just to do it for the fun of it, other students planned on building their future around music. Tammy planned to major in vocal music, focusing on either might play in a band in college, she said. Scott was going to try to get a scholarship for his musical abilities but did not see a music degree in his future. I just want to continue to be in- volved, he said. The time it took to be involved with music was a disadvantage, according to Scott. Extra credit in the form of weighted grade scale is not used for students who have invested four years in the music department. Music majors must then sacrifice grades in academics. Fourth year lan- guage students are rewardedg music students aren't, he said. pw, 92 BAND f CHGIR 1 cHoRUs ff . .W
