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.

for Gym Area Departments Vandalism in late August threatened the continuation of the behind the wheel driving courses. Bonanza had three automatic automobiles which insurance agents declared i'totaled. The cars were replaced, but as a safety precaution they were parked nightly at a well lit gas station near Bonanza. To take behind the wheel students had to be 1516 fears old and have a Nevada driver's permit. The students l payed 530 to the bank before undertaking 12 hours of simu- lator driving, then finally were allowed to drive four hours in a school district automobile. I Guest speakers for drivers education classes appeared dur- ing the last two weeks of the semester in which a safety unit was taught. Shock films were a big portion of the tactics used to scare teenagers into driving safely. M1454 , ,A Jls j I t :Tv if' faq. I If Vk,. A . 5 9 15:25 .1 . N . .
