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.

Special Services Special Faculty Special Education is probably one of the most overlooked departments this year. The special education is offered to those stu- dents interested in a slower and more per- sonal classroom situation. ln this depart- ment the basic subjects were offered along with the Vocational and Work programs. The teachers were very interested in the students that they worked with. They felt that they were helping the students meet their needs of acceptance, gratitude, and praise for their efforts. Although the students are in a special department, they are very enthusiastic in showing school spirit by joining school ac- tivities. The teachers have done very good jobs with the students and their accom- plishments should be highly acknowledged. Other faculty members who were of a special help were librarians. They orga- nized a very resourceful learning center for all students whether for an involved term paper or for recreation reading to use.
