Some people looked at it as recreation, a time to have fun, but others saw it as a requirement or a must ifthey wanted to graduate from high school. No matter which way they viewed it, students from pre-school through twelfth grade had to take some form of physical education. Physical education was more than just exercise as students got a taste of volleyball, basketball, softball, fitness and weight training, aerobics, soccer, gymnastics and track and field. Upper school students also had a badmitton tournament in all P.E. classes. Wes Kirtley, sophomore, the winner in sixth period singles, said, l played my best game against Tom Brenner. He almost beat me! A lot of students who took P.E. didn't really like the idea of having to take it as a requirement. l wouldn't have taken it if it hadn't been required because you get all hot and sweaty and then you have to go to your next class, explained junior Amy Davis. On the other hand, senior Tom Brenner enjoyed P.E. because it helped to take his mind off things. The students also had to buy a uniform, T-shirt and shorts, of which sophomore Stacy McLeod said, We had to buy it, but we never wear it because nobody likes it. Besides their regular units, each lower school grade had a special unit. First and third graders went skating, second graders took a dive in the Westside Y pool, fourth graders played Putt Putt, and fifth and sixth graders studied canoeing. Unlike their high school counterparts, lower school students looked forward to P.E. Sixth grader .Iay Parker said, I love P.E. because I always have a good time and Mrs. Kim makes it fun too.
