Physical Education Helps Mind and Body Arriving to PE class late and trying to dress out as quickly as pos- sible-then getting out to where you PE class began on time was an every- day event for many students. While PE was distressing to some people, many 'enjoyed taking it because of the selec- tion of activities and the health benefits the classes offered. Physical Education emphasized many ideas the students learned in health such as fitness and nutrition. The PE department offered a wide variety of sports to choose from. There was something for everyone including such sports as weight training, dance, bowling and soccer. Two-and-a-half years of PE were re- quired so students had plenty of time to try a little of everything. After school activities, such as foot- ball or volleyball, could not be substituted for the required PE credits. However, a player could receive a waiver that would transfer the sports credit to the required PE credits and you could choose a different elective such as woodshop instead. Some of the teachers could not get enough of sports. A few taught after- school sports as well as their regular classes. Physical Education not only condi- tions and builds up of the body, but also the mind. The Physical Education Department tried to set higher standards for their students to achieve their athletic goals.

Talents Displayed in Fine Arts Programs Some students enjoyed the heart- warming experience of beating diligently upon a drum or bulging their cheeks up to three times their normal size on a trumpet. Others casually blew through a piece of silver metal to make the high pitched sound of the flute or exercised their arm on the trombone. All of these sounds combined to make music enjoyable to the ear by the Palo Verde Band and Orchestra. Making music with their vocal cords appealed to others. They combined their voices to present pleasant sounds at several peformances. Many different styles of music were performed throughout the year. Drama gave some students the chance to physically act out the person they had always wanted to be, good or bad. The students were given the chance to work with other classmates during the year to act out skits. Fine Arts classes were a big part of the spirit behind our school. The Fine Arts department worked very hard all year to produce several shows. Through this they hoped that people would stand-up and take notice of the hard work and talent that each student put in to a performance. Last, but not least was the quiet library. The library was a place where students could relax quietly, study quietly and read quietly. Books, magazines, and newspapers were available for reading in the library or for checking out. 111 Keeping hles in order in the library leaves Mrs. Kamalu with little spare time and an occa- sionally messy desk. 1Phoro by S.
