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!
