PHYSICAL EDUCATION Our Body Shop The physical education department began the year by playing team sports such as flag football and soccer, so considerable emphasis was placed on good sportsmanship, active participation and group cooperation. The Presidential Physical Fitness Test was given to all classes, examining ability in co-ordination, speed and strength through such things as exercises, running, softball throw and arm hanging. Both boys' and girls' PE classes enjoyed a unit in bowling, both also made use of the universal gym. Boys' PE, headed by Mr. Ron August and Mr. Larry Thompson, tried sports like wrestling, tennis, and volleyball. Girls played recreational games such as badminton, basketball, and crab soccer, under the direction of Mrs. Judy Mitchell and Mr. Thompson. The girls also gained an insight into the boys sports through participation in those areas, as well. The physical education classes were exciting, fun and rewarding and built the body and character, as well. Warm-ups are a necessary part of all P. E. classes. Here, John Folz and Mike Dial limber up before lifting weights. Karen Andrews passes the football while teammates Doris Murphy, Cheryl Griffin and Karen Henry block in a flag football game.

Senior Debbie Zahnle, an advanced French pupil in Mrs. Margaret Kelly's sixth period class, aids Molly Sundsten in making grammatical translations. Solo practicing in the native language and assuming an authora-tive teaching role are stressed in Mr. James Johnston's Spanish classes, as shown here by junior Luanne Zirkle. FOREIGN LANGUAGE Fine Arts Applied Junior classmates, Celeste Lyman and Lisa Bevens ponder a difficult Spanish IV pronunciation drill. Through our Foreign Language classes, students learned to communicate with our French amis” and Spanish amigos (friends). With the aid of Mrs. Margaret Kelley in French I, II, III and IV and Mr. James Johnston in the four levels of Spanish plus a conversational Spanish, students enjoyed learning songs such as La Chaparita, and poems, like The Priviliges of the Poor. French fun included arousing games of Je l’ai (I Have It) and a French version of the song 500 Miles.” Through stressing learning by speaking, vocabularies were increased rapidly to make the translation of simple conversations and stories easier. The classes were conducted completely in their native languages as soon as was possible. Through a study of language and culture, a small but highly motivated group of students acquired new skills and greater awareness.
