Health, Career, Gym Students Adjust To New Schedule If all ninth graders were asked llWhat is C.P.R.,ll they would be sure to say, Cardiopulmonary Resusitation. This and other activities such as first aid, making a skeleton, and drug and alcohol abuse studies, were just some of the things taught by health teachers, Mr. Hoyt and Mr. Cothem. This year instead of altematjng health and gym classes every other day, students switched classes at the end of the semester. Freshman Darlene Fisher commented, til like switching at the end of the semester because there is less confusion on what class to go to on what day. Seventh graders also used to switch every other day between career and gym, but they too switched at the end of the semester. The career students read out of ltRead magazinen and had guest speakers to speak on careers that interested students. In gym, students warmed-up with calisthenics and then took part in such activities as, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, physical conditioning, and soccer. Jump!

New and Old Projects in History Fun For Everyone Past and Present Events Studied Many special events occurred in seventh and eighth grade history classes, such as the shooting of a Civil War gun, playing news quiz, and the seventh grade map study. In the map study, students learned how to read a road map in depth. til learned a lot from the map study and I thought it was fun,n stated seventh grader Scott Klostermeir. New projects also took place during seventh and eighth grade classes. Among these, Mrs. Alice Albringts seventh grade classes made a quilt containing fifty-four flags. Each student contributed to the quilt by making at least one flag. Mr. Theron Brown also had an exciting project in his classes. His eighth graders made flags of various countries. til gave them a choice of any country they wanted but they had to check with me first so there were no duplicates, quoted Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown commented that the signifi- cance of making flags was that kids could learn the location of the countries along with the geographical features, the major religion, political leaders, and population, and hopefully it would create an interest in the country. Every Friday students got a break and competed against other classes in news quiz. Eighth grader Ton Snyder quoted, HThis year was more exciting because we learned more about the worldf, Although many students thought history was going to be a boring class, the teachers made it fun by doing new and different projects.
