Keeping Fit Physical Education Physical Education classes give students an opportunity to burn off energy while keeping fit. They also teach students how to cooperate with others and most important — team spirit! Mr. Koelinger taught Boys ' P.E. for his third year. Miss Hoppmann taught Girls ' P.E. for her first year. A variety of sports were played, br- inging out the athletic ability in all! These sports included volleyball, football, soccer, basketball, gym- nastics, field hockey, and softball. P.E. provided students with a knowledge of sports, as well as with important athletic skills. Mr. Koehlinger (left) makes a point about makir ' points In bowling.

For a begin ner, this can be awfully scary! But with thi help of Mr. Kettner, Mr. Hermann, and Mr Sloan, things were made such easier. The students studied their textbooks an( driving manuals daily, learning to drive defen sively and — always be on the lookout for th( other guy. All this studying was put to the test at 3:00 p.m. daily, when two students at i time would get a chance to drive with eithe. Mr. Hermann or Mr. Sloan. Each individua was then evaluated on his or her driving abilities. Through Driver ' s Ed., each student learns how to be a safe and responsible driver. Mr. Sloan turns over the keys to Driver ' s Ed. graduate Tina Renner. 60

what Makes Us Tick? Science The Science curriculum at Lutheran High School consists of physics and chemistry, taught by Mr. Brandhorst, and physical science and two levels of biology, taught by Mr. Von Rentzell. One of the things students remember best about science is the many labs they do. Both teachers in this department obviously love what they do. Mr. Von Rentzell states, I ' m not a wizard, but I sure do love teaching science. Science is fascinating to me. It ' s not just what it is — you also learn how it works! He goes on to say that in his classes, we talk as much about life as we talk about the process of life. Mr. B. likes teaching because It ' s neat to watch people ' s eyes light up when they understand something. Ar. Von often brings unusual visitors lo class (above right). At left, he drives home a point to his students. Mr. Brandhorst (right) listens arefully to what students have to say. 59

If ' s Nof Greek fo Us! German and Qpanish During the 1987- ' 88 school year Spanish and German were offered as foreign languages. Ms. Banko taught students Spanish for her se- cond year in a rcjw. She feels Spanish is an important language to learn because it is so widely us- ed. Mr. Hermann continued to teach German, emphasizing con- versational skills, as well as writing. The culture and ways of life are also taught in each class. These courses provide students with an understanding of different coun- tries, and give students a chance to be familiar with a different world view.
