The school's advanced dance class, in- structed by dance teacher MariAn Karbo, met from 7:30 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. every weekday, and conditioned stu- dents to a prime physical state. Morn- ings began with warm-ups to stretch muscles, followed by dance combina- tions that Karbo developed. Sometimes the girls themselves choreographed the steps. A true highlight of the year was when Chris Hammond, a local teacher and professional jazz dancer, came by the class to teach for a memo- rable session. One student, Kirsten Chapman, not only practiced fourteen hours a week this year like clockwork, but also drove to West Hollywood every weekday and to Santa Monica on Sundays to partici- pate in classes and perfect her form. She aspired to become an apprentice at either the loffrey, Oakland, or Houston ballet company after graduation. Re- flecting back on how she'd decided to dance when she was just five, Kirsten gave a nostalgic smile and said, Most important is how much you love it. Such desire to excel could also be seen in other students who gave their all in the school's physical education pro- gram. Each year at Agoura High differ- ent activities complemented the year's curriculum. These activities included interesting sports such as bowling, golf, and ultimate frisbee, which added extra pizzazz to a year which also included the ever-enjoyable but still predictable football and basketball. With inspira- tional instructors like Vicki Sveda and Frank C-reminger, physical education became much more than just ole P.E. . ln fact, with an enjoyable fifty minutes of sports ahead of you, things like a locker-room stench or the fact that you didn't have that reversible blue and gold top and must borrow your unkempt first-period locker part- ner's shirt didn't bother you at all. Moreover, the person next to you, whistling that appalling Barry Manilow ballad while attempting to cram an overstuffed purplish duffle bag into his locker, also didn't perturb you in the least. Thank goodness for Sveda! - Bob Rich jtiggtvttitz hi mt 'lili Lili lily uctttuu LQLLIL E auuutttue LilIEQ'L'LLz 'IiI:LLL Li.IlEI3I.LI3E 'xx ' ij iff X . xx l V 1 f V x .

Speak- ing for many in her class, Kirsten Chapman ad- mitted that you have to really, really want it. Physical Education 205

Erica West leads a group of smil- ing students in running laps around the bleachers. After warming up, the students were ready to kick, punt, run, or vol- ley. Kristy Gluck practices a routine with her classmates in Dance I. Even this beginning dance class showed progress, after months of hard work on different dance combinations. Remarkably, Elizabeth Ashton and Marcy Gilbert master the art of soccer and the do-si-do at the same time. Behind them, friends stared in utter amazement at the 92-Al' ,f spectacle. 1 .ii ' ,. ,.r 9. if .1-Ftirfiai . C., nf' -'U Ma aa -,xt I s -1 -v-wr .i .Q ,A V Q . . Peggy Smith, English, special ed.
