Mrs. Marie Pittman Biology, Chemistry, Conservation, Psysiology In high school I participated in very few activities because being a student teacher took up so much of my free time. At the end of our freshman year, 35 girls were selected for a sophomore training course in P. E. C13 full-time P.E. teachers weren't enoughlj As juniors and seniors we would be teaching classes, giving demonstrations and life-guarding at the pool instead of study hall or many other activities. . In my junior year I hurt my knee and had a tough time con- vincing the school doctor that I could still handle the job. He let me continue and a lot of that year was spent helping a friend of mine 'look good' during demonstrations and class time. In volley- ball, I'd fix it so she could hit the ball back with no trouble , and in swimming we would be the first in the water, before the regular class, practicing, 'til she gained the confidence she needed. The teachers were impressed with her ability and all the time I kept telling the doctor that all I had to do was stand around and keep score. It was a memorable time, knowing that two people could work together and trust each other so much. We were happy to know what one person did for the other would not be forgotten.
