I was kind of surprised and maybe a little hesitant when I first learned about the op- portunity to take coed gym. I wondered what it would be like to compete with and against members of the opposite sex in a gym class. When I was in grade school,, boys and girls shared gym class but some- how it's different now, I guess because we’re “grown up”. Well I decided to give it a try and soon I found myself learning such sports as arch- cry, volleyball, and lifesaving along side the opposite sex. Sure, there was the usual kidding and joking around on such things as male and female equality and of course there were those who had to show-off. but all in all the class was pretty fun. It was different and interesting being taught about sports in the newly integrated course. 23
