Fitness and Fun Gym offered a variety of activities — tennis, Softball, soccer, aerobics, and more in the hope that each student would find at least one that he she enjoyed and played well. Decatur reshaped its gym program this year somewhat to focus more on endurance, building the upper body, and abdominals. Gym was required for two semesters equally divided between the freshman and sophomore years. Gym was a class that gave students a chance to unwind and renew their energy. Gym gives the brain a chance to relax and the body a chance to move. It keeps students from becoming bored from sitting motionless all day, although not eve- ryone was this enthusiastic about gym. I ' m glad it ' s only required for two semesters! said Sophomore Tracy Clevenger. Along with two semesters of gym, a semester of health was required the soph- omore year. Besides covering the basics, health covered youth health concerns that will be faced by many in their lives, such as sexually transmitted diseases and drug and tobacco abuse. We try to keep our health classes up to date and interesting, stated Mr. Oberle. Ball State student teacher Tim Surber observes as Tony Lomoro plans an escape from Doug Rigney. Sophomores Jodi Brown and Morya Miller lead a discussion on the endocrine system. Mr. Oberle explains the function of the nervous i system. | Health and Gym

Making Your Future Our Business Vocational Activities Help Students Follow Dreams At DC business classes were both ed- ucational and fun. Students were taught skills which could help in everyday life and open doors to the future. Typing could be taken for two years. First year was done on typewriters. Students practiced typing reports, letters, and taking timed writings. Second-year class was spent doing similar things on computers. There were other business classes avail- able, too. Intensive Office Lab let students do the work in surroundings similar to a real office. In Data Processing, students learned to work with computers for competing in the business world. Besides classes, DC offered business clubs so students could be with other students having similar interests. O.E.A. (Office Ed- ucation Association) was offered to students currently taking any business class. Among the activities planned were fundraisers, out- ings, and helping with local charities. Mrs. Janet Lambert commented, I enjoy being sponsor; it ' s a good group of people. The largest club at DC, with 99 members, was D.E.C.A. (Distributive Educational Clubs of America). It was made up of only students taking marketing. All year the members of D.E.C.A. were competing in local, state, and even national championships. Members could also win scholarships to certain business colleges. Sponsor Mr. Larry Brich felt D.E.C.A. was very beneficial in learning and fun. Business classes and clubs at DC helped students prepare for the future and showed i how DC was still rising above the rest. D.E.C.A.
