. XX o Pam, o Gam Physical Education encourages strength, endurance, and hygiene The students at Crockett have a wide variety of traditional Physical Educa- tion classes to choose from. These range from Soccer to Slimnastics, and Foot- ball to Tennis. The classes enable the student to achieve their physical goals while having fun at the same time. Even though the goal of the Physical Education, and Health program is to improve the physical, and social development of the students, the opi- nions about P.E. are as different as the students who take it. For some, the specialized courses of- fered in P.E. make it worth while. I en- joy bowlingg it's something different and I have a lot of fun in this class. A lot of my friends are also in it, said sophomore Leight Schoette. Sophomore Wayne Lange said that rollerskating is not a waste of time. It's good exercise and gets you into shape? Although members of the faculty agree that P.E. is benefical to the students, they don't agree whether the required year and a half is the right amount. Coach Cooks said, 'KStudents should be required to take P.E. all four years of high school, because health is very important, and by only taking a year and a half, the students will lose much that they have gained in the class. Juniors study Health to learn how to take care of themselves when they get out on their own. Eleventh graders also study nutrition and how it can influenl the body's health. Health teacher Coax Joe Miles said, It's kind of hard tellil someone that smoking is not good f- their health because there are a lot N students who smoke. It seems like thl need a cigarette after every class. Whi they don't understand is that they at looking at themselves now, but doli realize what kind of effects it could c later in life. Health and Physical Education is u ed to build better health knowledg health habits, and health attitudes. i also provides an opportunity students to develop skills and to the basic knowledge for life.
