New Units and Equipment Vvidens Specialization in advanced areas happened in almost all the industrial arts classes this year. Students were better able to train for future careers andfor hobby specialities. The auto classes added units on rebuilding engines, repair- ing brakes and automatic transmissions. Bonanza is the only regular Vegas high school to have these advanced units. Coach Del Foster's donation of a car allowed the building of a Bonanza stock car. lt was rebuilt, painted like a Bengal Ccom- plete with a tail-spring bolted to the trunkj and raced at Craig Road Speedway in March.

Concern for proper development of the student's mental, physical, and emotional selves demanded in-depth coverage from the health teachers. Methods for teaching health were as varied as the men who taught it. Movies were a major tool used in teaching health. Health teachers agreed that health was one of the most practical courses a student could enroll in. Changes Are Few Four new teachers, Howard Leavitt, Kurt Schnabel, Ann Young, and Jill Averett Ca transfer from the science depart- mentj added variety to the physical education department. Along with the new teachers came the change to co-ed P.E. The change was a smooth one with the biggest problem being the locker room situation. The problem was resolved by reas- signing locker room supervision by sexes. af 4 M 'av ,V 7 Fil A A Jim Floethlin, Robert Rose, Lori Robinson, Laurie Mueller, and Mar- vie Sharples go through the motions of simulator driving before the film begins.
