P.E. classes build bodies; H. S., D. E. teach This year ' s health and safety classes studied bone structure of the human body, first aid, and dating. During the three weeks spent on first aid the stu- dents discussed the care and treatment of wo unds, application of a bandage, and artificial resusita- tion. Questions considered on dating ranged from what age a person should start dating to what kind of person he should date. The students spent nine weeks studying safety rules for drivers and pedestrians. Special reports were given on cancer and the effect smoking has on the body. Students having health and safety the first se- mester and being at least 1 5 y2 years old were eligible to take drivers education behind-the- wheel during study halls and after school. Each day girls ' gym classes were led in calis- thenics by Mrs. Molly Beach, girls physical educa- tion instructor. Activities the girls participated in included basketball, trampoline, archery, soccer, speedball, bowling, scooterball, and volleyball. Mr. John Razmic, boys ' gymnastic teacher led the boys in tumbling, basketball, baseball, archery, and bowling.

Trying to decide on a topic for a class report third year Spanish student Terry Long looks over a Spanish version of Life magazine. Both Life and Readers ' Digest magazines are subscribed to and kept in the Spanish lab for practice read- ing and to give students a view of the culture. Mrs. Viva Lynn, Spanish teacher, talks to her second year class over the lab. Using the control panel on her desk she may speak and listen to the entire class or to each student individually. Spanish classes sponsor float, candy sale Films, tapes and film strips were all a poft of the new teaching method being used in Spanish classes. Martinsville was one of five Indiana schools to use this new technique. Students saw films and listened to tapes drilling them on the dialogue of the film. For variety, students took the part of characters in the films, memorized their lines, and re-enacted the scenes. Eighth period Spanish class entered a float in the Fall Foliage Festival parade and won second prize of ten dollars. They donated this to the For- eign Exchange program being sponsored by Span- ish Club. The main attraction of the float was a large sombrero of red and blue crepe paper. The fifth hour class sponsored a candy sale with the profits going to the Foreign Exchange Program. Third year students read short stories written by Spanish authors. Then they discussed the material in class. Also, part of their study was reading the Spanish versions of Readers Digest and Life maga- zines and giving reports on selected articles. Discussions on current events of Latin America were held in all classes whenever Mrs. Lynn felt it would further the students ' knowledge and under- standing of the Latin countries. F rst year students Jackie Kohl and Wally Gray act out a film they have seen. Jackie, playing the mother, reprimands Wally, her son Pepito, for saying his friend is fat.
