Drive my Car... rookfield Central has as part of B its curriculum three special programs: Driver's Education, Health, and Home Economics. They are characterized by an emphasis on the individual and by providing an education which is highly practical in nature. Students in these courses have a kind of hands-on training not found in most other classes. Every student at Central is required to take a semester of Driv- er's Ed. classroom theory. Under the leadership of Mr. Korpela and Mr. Esqueda, students learn not only basic automobile operation, but also safety procedures and the rules and regulations affecting driving. If the student desires, he may continue with behind-the-wheel training on the range and finally the road, giving him all the education and practice he will need before obtaining his license. Another required course for all stu- dents is Health. The class curriculum covers drugs and drug abuse, first aid, and cardio-pulmonary rescusita- tion. Mr. Gray, the schooI's Health teacher, effectively mixes stories, group participation and creative assignments to teach important con- cepts, highlighting the benefits of a positive mental attitude. Marla Goetzke says, Health is a really good course because it trains you so that if you're ever in an emer- gency situation, you can actually save a life. I really enjoyed the class. The Home Economics Department offers a variety of elective courses which cover subjects ranging from meal preparation and sewing to fam- ily living and child development. The courses are practical in nature, deal- ing with situations which will certainly arise later and help the student become more independent. Explains Pam Corcoran, My Housing and Interiors class has been both educational and enjoyable. Mrs. Pretzel is an excellent teacher, and the class really helps when you want to learn about decorating. l think it will help me a lot in the future. kf. ,,., K Vt ? ?5:wfW W t' f' t 'semi 144 X Driver's Education 'Ibm X

TWIST A DSHO T FROM FIELD HOCKEY TO FOOTBALL hysical education at Brookfield P Central is unique in that it offers a wide selection of activ- ities which the student may become familiar with through the class experi- ence. Required for all students, it breaks up the day, giving an hour for relaxation and enjoyment. Phy. Ed. is a nice change from the regular schedule, remarks Pete Kampine. I also enjoy it because the teachers are lenient and pretty rea- sonable. ln the sophomore year, students are required to take certain units, including field hockey and self- defense for girls and wrestling and flag football for boys. uniors and seniors are allowed to choose the units they wish to take, and are offered everything from vol- leyball and basketball to team hand- ball and fencing. Sue Nellen adds, Being able to choose the units you are in makes them much more enjoyable. It changes Phy. Ed. from a purely required course to almost an elective. I really like the program. Mixing classroom studies with the competitiveness of Phy. Ed. helps to broaden the student's mind, teaching him many things which he could not learn in a purely academic program, such as sportsmanship, team work, and basic skills in a myriad of physi- cal activities. The atmosphere and variety of Central's Physical Education Depart- ment gives all students a chance to try something new while at the same time relieving some of the pressures of the ,normal school day. Students who devote most of their day to aca- demic subjects use the class to release the tensions that develop after many sedentary hours in the classroom. And for those students who are already involved in the sports program, it allows time to play without the stiff competition charac- teristic of team play. i Concludesjunior Jim Bogan, Hav- ing a Phy. Ed. class every other day helps me keep my sanity, and gives me an hour of strict enjoyment.
