Physical Education WADE HUDSON DAN MATHEWSON DICK MORGAN ROBERTA RYAN DIANE SPEER Fun Education Mrs. Roberta Ryan, one of the won- derful P.E. teachers here at Poudre, has been active in Physical Education for many years. She was at one time a Pom-Pom coach, girls basketball coach, as well as teaching her P.E. classes. Mrs Ryan teaches with a flare that few of the PHS students get to enjoy. She wants her students to enjoy P.E. and for fun, not just competition. When her class was playing a game of volleyball she asked one team for the score a player hastiliy replied, Score? We don't care about the score. Thats what I want all my kids to learn, sportsmanship, but not always .Q score keeping. Mrs. Ryan teaches all her students to enjoy today, and what today has to offer -- and when tomorrow comes - enjoy tomorrow as well. I just want the kids to have a good time, and have fun. And with Mrs. Ryan as a teacher - who could help but have fun! Mr. Morgan surprises a rather unwary P.E. student in the weights room

Home Economics Department MS. KATIE PHEMISTER MRS. CATHY TOPLYN i Get Cookin'! What do you think of when someone says the words Home Economics? Cooking? You're partly right. How- ever, the Home Economics Depart- ment embodies much more. Classes taught include Creative Gour- met Cooking, Bachelor and Bachelor- ette Survival, Foods and Nutrition, Parenting, Housing and Interior De- sign, Sewing for Fun and Fashion, HEO I and HEO Il. The classes help develop skills for successful living in the home as well as other home eco- nomics related occupations. The two teachers in the department, Mrs. Toplyn and Ms. Phemister, have a great deal of responsibility and dedi- cation. When asked the philosophy by which she teaches, Mrs. Toplyn thoughtfully replied that it was to create a learning environment for students and try to give the students as much information as possible that will apply to the real world . The teachers accomplished the positive learning environment by the use of teaching methods such as videos, lec- tures, guest speakers from the commu- nity, and current events issues. Mrs. Toplyn feels that her students are very important people. The department has several unique programs. HEO is one such program. Students take a class called HEO - Home Economics Related Occupa- tions, that prepares them for HERO - Home Economics Related Occupa- tions, a club that places the student in a wage-earning job in the community that involves home economics. FHA - Future Homemakers of America is also a club in the department open to any student in home economics. The Home Economics Department involves many of the aspects of the home. Home Economics is an interest- ing field that requires many skills - more than just kitchen oriented ones. paul sinus 1 1 if-..'z Fawn Nelson Ms Toplyn told you that you cant put that much corn starch ln the cookies' V ,f ' I 1 .
