7T Throughout high school, each one C 6 3 . , , of us has experienced a health course et S et YSlca of some kind. The topics we covered ranged from the blushing topic of human sexuality to the very sensitive subject of death and dying. The cur- riculum for each of the courses was decided on by a combination of guidelines established by the state, the health teachers of W.H.R.H.S. and the needs of the students. The incoming freshmen discuss coping with adolescense, substance abuse, and human sexuality. For many of the freshmen, high school is a new experience where one could get lost. Their health class helps them find themselves and teaches them to deal with the pressures around them. The sophomores, usually somewhere around sixteen in age, discuss driving and the problems associated with it. At the end of their health course, they are asked to take the written driver's test. If they score high enough, they can avoid taking it later. Emergency First Aid is the main topic of Junior year health and the importance of the body and its upkeeping are the stressed subjects. In the last year, health prepares the seniors for life outside the walls of W.H.R.H.S. Contemporary Adult Living is the course title. The topics of discussion involve parenting, life cycles, getting along with others on a relationship basis, and dealing with death and dying. Many of the classes are open discussion where values and ideals are openly expressed. Mrs. Angel DeBergeois says, iiThe only problem is that it would be nice to have more time for the subjects, nine weeks real- ly is not enough time? Physical Education-Health t 225

226 Health Issues One course growing more and more in popularity is Mrs. Marylyn Luster's Health Issues. It is offered during the third marking period, ninth period every year. The course is based on special health-related issues and is geared to the student planning to participate in peer counseling andtor peer teaching. The students assist health teachers in the regularly scheduled ninth grade health classes. Many of the Freshmen enjoy this because relating to someone close to ones own age is sometimes easier than talking to an adult. Presently, the students are prepar- ing to bring their new knowledge to elementary and middle schools near- by. Some of the topics theyill discuss will be stress, growing up in the 803s, learning to deal with peer pressure, and learning to say no and still make friends. The students all enjoy the class and Mrs. Luster feels the class has been a real success. ELIZABETH A. FLAIG: Betty Temple Universi- ty Hospital WHRHS 81, 85, '87 U.W.P. SupporteriEnthu- siast!
