Marsha Students Like Learning About Michigan History I enjoy social studies a lot because Mr. Ripper makes it vely interesting learning about different countries , stated seventh grader Scott Tucker. A wide variety of subjects were taught to the seventh graders in social studies ranging from projects on natu- ral resources to oral reports on current events. In Mr. RipperIs classes, the students did a big project on natural resources and brought in newspaper articles to keep up on current events. In addition, a lot of op- portunities for extra credit were given. In Mrs. Alice Albring's classes, the focus point was on Michigan and local history. Also, something new was added for the students.

Gym And Career Classes Help To Give New Insight to Seventh Grade Students Career Awareness class was taught to all seventh graders to try and make them more responsible, and more aware of the opportunities in life, said teacher Mrs. Beverly Mazur. During class, students listened to guest speakers, and worked on self-awareness note taking, and decision making. Career Awareness was an every-other-day class, alternating with gym. It was taught during the first and third quarter. During the second and fourth quarter, reading class was presented. Students worked on oral reading and vocabulary. They also did work on a newspaper unit dur- ing fourth quarter, and learned to read with expression. Follow-up work for comprehension, which was also taught, deals with details, inference, listening char- acterization, and the sequence of events. Gym gave students a chance to escape from the drudgery of work, and get physically fit. During boys' gym, running various distances, push-ups, pull-ups, sit- ups, rope climbing and other skills were tested, to see who could pass the Presidential Physical Fitness Test. The test is designed by the government, and at the end of the year, at the last pep assembly, awards were passed out. Patches and a certihcate signed by the president were awarded. They boys also lifted weight, played speedball, and did many other vigorous activi- ties. Across the net on the girls' side, hockey, running for five minutes, aerobics, gymnastics, soccer, and other skills were demonstrated. Daily warm-ups included such things as jumping jacks, stretch exercies, wind- mills, push-ups, and sit-ups. The girls also did the phys- ical fitness test, participating in some of the same ac- tivities as the boys. Aerobics to music was another enjoyed activity, and after all that, it was off to the show- ers.
