Lifters seek various goals Not all weightlifters turn out to be like Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, students who enrolled in Mr. Ralph Weinzapfel ' s weightlifting class had a lot to show for their efforts. As the semester goes on, I ' m increas- ing the amount of weight I can lift, said Junior Kim Nalley. I feel like I ' m getting much stronger and more physically fit. Weightlifting has not always been a class at Memorial. Before, it has always been an activity in the physical education classes. This year, however it was also offered as a class for credit. I needed to do something to keep in shape, said Senior Matt Hawes, and I like getting credit for it at the same time. Some of the students use weight train- ing to lose weight, others to gain weight. Some of them use it for body development Stressing excellent form, Junior Het Labhart leans against the wall while doing curls.

In addition to weightlifting, . . . we ' re doing more than we did last year and mak- ing it more advanced. We want to do more with aerobics, mentioned Kathy Beck, freshmen and sophomore P.E. instructor. I used to think aerobics were mostly for girls, but now that I ' m doing it, I really don ' t mind, said Ryan Elfreich, freshman. We ' re trying to refine our program, added Mr. Ron Wannemuehler, athletic director and P.E. instructor. Last year was mostly experimental. This year is more extensive. It seems like we ' re getting more done, and the class goes a lot smoother than last year, said Amy Flittner, sophomore. 64 P hysical education
