PE's changes incomplet ln a report in 1974 by a committee from George Peabody College for Teachers, recommendation was made that boys' physical education classes needed more supervision and instruc- tion. Pressure has been brought to equalize girl's athletic teams with the implementation of the Title lX law. Some changes have been made at PV toward the latter, but most boys report that football and basketball were the boys' gym course again in 1977-78 According to senior Harold Hod- ges, Boys' physical education clas- ses have less meaning than girls' because we just play basketball and football all year. Tumbling and other gymnastics, volleyball, dancing, body mechanics and weightlifting were among the choices girls made for their PE instruction. Girls also hear special guest speak- ers on subjects like self defense and birth control. These lectures were good for those who had gained little knowledge outside of school about such things, Mrs. Bennie LaFargue said. More change was in the air for gym classes, as the district moved into next year requiring only two PE credits for graduation, but allowing one unit per year instead of the onelhalf unit formerly given. This made PE an option for juniors and seniors. Requirements for graduation were raised to 20. Fumble fingers.
