Students Choose Programs ',- tk , 13 Picking classes in P.E. 23 Dale Skelly lectures the shop students. 31 Glamorous Grant- ham and his Unl- cycle.

There were fifteen different sixteen week units offered on a rotation basis. These programs were football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, weight training, tumbling, unicycle, yoga, rhythmic gymnastics, softball, physical fitness, self defense, first aid and gymnastics apparatus. The main advan- tages gained from this program according to Mrs. Sheila Comer, Athletic Director, were that students took classes of their own choice and had exposure to several different teachers. Most of these classes end up being coed and, according to the P.E. department, the majority of the students favor these mixed classes which present quite a challenge in terms of competition and equality of skills. Another interesting observation on the effect of coed P.E. is that girls often feel inhibited and don't try as hard as they would if boys were not present and that sometimes physical contact is too rough. gn JIM SEHON: yr bk. photography photography -SHERFIY SELWOOD: algebra, pre-algebra BOB SMITH: swimming, coed physical education CAROL SMITH: su pervlsing secretary
