P E Classes Sport Wider Range of Activities The Physical Education classes widened their curriculum in terms of participation this year. Boys' P.E. teacher Gary Brown told of the variety of sports available to the boys. These sports, including basket- ball, volleyball, wrestling, and football have been either improved upon or added to the curriculum this year. Girls' P.E. classes have been active in the field of gymnastics. The girls participate in partner stunts, pole climbing, and vari- ous other gymnastic stunts. The Drug Ed. classes have been involved in many oral and written activities. These activities dealt with advertising in alco- hol, dramatizing the legal aspects in al- cohol, and viewing films about alcohol abuse. The classes also studied pharmacology. Gary Brown, the football coach, is one of the new teachers in the department this year. Ms. Sandra Hunt is the other new teacher. She started a swimming program for students here. The class of about 20 students met at Riverside Com- munity Center. Above left-Besides being a P.E. teacher, Mr. Brown also teaches several health classes.

if A .Va a.-'E New Head Has Dept. in Hand All sorts of Art Contests were brewing and many students prepared art port- folios to enter in the Regional Scholastic Awards Contest. Many other students entered their art work in the 500 Festival, a collection of Indianapolis Schools' Art, which is usually displayed on the circle. The Art Department started the school year with two new teachers, Ms. Corrie Wilson, and Ms. Wanda Gourley, who replaced Mr. Sheldon Kantor and Mr. Ian Fraser. Ms. Wilson was the new Art Department head, and she taught Craft Arts, Ceram- ics, and Art Appreciation. She thought Art Appreciation was a very good course for serious art students, and said that more emphasis should be put on this class. Ms. Wilson has big plans for the Art Club, too. She took members to the ln- dianapolis Museum of Art and plans were made for a long-range trip. The an- nual Shortridge Art Festival was also held once again May 10th. As the new head, Ms. Wilson said she enjoyed the feeling of warmth at SHS. Top left-jamie Gallagher puts the final touches on his brownies in jewelry class.
