Varied Program Offered PHYSICAL EDUCATION Making students physically fit was the assumed task of veteran teachers, Ron August and Larry Thompson, as well as first year instructor Pam Casteel. During spring and early fall, students benefited from the fresh air and sunshine outdoors, while playing flag football, softball, golf and other sports. As winter and rain closed in, the program moved into the gym and its surrounding balconies. Volleyball, basketball, tumbling and gymnastics were activities of both sexes, while only the girls completed a unit in self-defense. Another sport enjoyed by all was bowling which concentrated on bowling basics every other day for three weeks. Boy's classes enjoyed killer-handball and weight lifting, both strenuous activities that taxed bodies and minds. Because PE was an activity-based program, participation and attendance were two major factors used to determine student's grades. In addition, sportsmanship and skill were also considered. Athletic PE and Rally Squad were offered eighth period and provided time for developing routines and planning activities for rally while allowing athletes the opportunity to keep in shape in the off season. Scott Tilgner participates in one of the weight lifting exercises in an effort to develop speed and ability as Pat Anderson rests and waits his turn.

Work Area Addition Doubles Available Space INDUSTRIAL ARTS Utilizing new facilities the industrial arts department was given more usable work space with the addition of a large fabrication area which virtually doubled the size of the shop area. The metal and agriculture shop areas acquired a new and vastly improved welding room. Metals classes, taught by Mr. Gary Thayer, dealt with the tool handling and procedures used by machinists and in other metal working occupations. In woodworking classes, taught by Mr. Robert Burnham (Woods I) and Mr. Brooks Wagner (Woods I, II, III), students began by making required projects and then moved on to individua I projects which ranged from cabinets to small pieces of furniture. In addition, Mr. Wagner taught the construction class which planned and builta three-car garage recycling center foi the school's use. Through the Industrial Arts department students could gain both knowledge and skills that could be used later in life or for an occupation. Senior Blake Sarff lays out and pieces together the framework for a cabinet built in Woods III. 30 Industrial Arts
