Health and Wealth s of Wealth Wealth. lt's on our minds. It may be lodged at the backs of our minds, just com- ing out occasionallyg neverthless, that de- sire for extravagant things is there. We have an impulse for a nice thing, then suddenly, it's gone. Or we may flash our wealth openly - or the desire for it - always striving for the best to show our money. But we need to know how we can obtain that wealth. We can be industrious and do helpful things which require a shopsman's skills, such as woodworking, wiring, or sim- ply tinkering with mechanical things. Some of us claim our wealth by office skills. We may be good typists, record- keepers, or secretaries with excellent short- hand skill. And then we can be good with food, clothes, children, or a combination of these. We might be cooks, seamstresses, or baby- sitters. It always helps to have skills around the home. Finally, we need to know how to handle that money once we get it. Can you write a check? Balance the books? Pay your bills? Any one of these ways to acquire and keep your wealth can be taught through courses in the industrial arts, business, and home economics departments. Most are one-semester courses. So get in there and learn all about wealth Ifyou know how to get it and how to handle it, then go for it! And then you can dedicate your success to the courses you took in high school. By: Bruce McGee ABOVE: MARK YOUNG talked to Mr. Hudson about residential wiring.

Health and Wealth Sweat and Tear Sweat pouring down the face, heart pumping gallons of blood through the body, face blushing beet-red with exertion: this is a symptom of the disease Physical Educa- tion. Physical education was a class where all the day's built up steam could be let off. Some classes were held in the gym, while others took place at bowling alleys, golf courses, swimming pools, skating rinks, and so on. All of these classes gave students a chance to try new and different kinds of sports without spending quite a bit of extra time. When people were in gym, they ran and stomped and rid themselves of all the ener- gy they had all bottled up. It brought around morale because students excelled in a sport. While some students anxiously awaited the hour in which they could get phys- ical, others dreaded the class. Sometimes it was because they were afraid to be laughed atg at other times it was becasue they had forgotten their clothes and didn't want to face the teacher. Not all physical education classes were free for any student to take advantage of. Bowling, racquetball, co-ed sports and swimming all cost over 550.00 a semester - many students were excluded from the classes because of this fact. Although the majority of students is in physical ed or one of the other phys-ed classes tbowling, etcj some students remain in driver education or health classrooms. These are requirements of sophomore and freshman students. Others stay in study halls or help in the office because of an excuse from physical education. It might have seemed a drudgery at times, but weren't all those stinky, sweaty clothes worth it'? DONNA BALDWIN: Freshman PE Sc Health, Jr-Sr. PE, IDA BROOKS: Freshman PE 8: Health.
