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.

LANGUAGE ARTS Goals Realigned After four years as Language Arts Department Chairman, Mr. James Fairchild said he found it both interesting and frustrating. Changing Room 13 into a resource area proved to be one of his most challenging interests. The room offered multiple copies of particular books for student use. The emphasis on budget and spending was on texts, teaching supplies and films. The Language Arts staff held night meetings to re-evaluate each course and acted on student business, petitions and pre-registration. The third year Intern Program went very well, but needs more supervision, according to Mr. Fairchild. Intern, Mr. Rod Britt gained much experience by working with the vets . Graduation requirements for the present day seventh-graders occupied the nine instructor’s time as they adjusted the focus of lesson plans to interrelate with the concept of achievement levels as dictated by the state department. The free-elective, non-graded program remained intact throughout the year, despite changes in philosophy and point of view. Organizing their material for a panel discussion are Cindy Rettler and Kathy Holbrook who are members of Mr. Glenn Knight's seventh period Group Processes class. Discussing Rod Serling's story Escape Clause and the rationale behind a man selling his soul to the devil are Ronda Wilson and Caryl Hoffman. Peggy Martin lends Mr. Dewey Tuttle her personal volume of Emily Dickenson's romantic poems as fellow poetry student Pam Sondav looks on.
