(jew U tit ' Sort. 6HUS ' NO SCAUNCt ' vJy AluS On a brisk winter day, four- teen individuals run in a counter-clockwise circle on the field behind the school. A strong voice carries over a few excited giggles, “Keep your knees up.” A few seconds later, the same voice calls, “Reverse.” They all do a quick about face and proceed to run in a clockwise direction. A few of them run into each other. The giggles turn to laughter. The man who belongs to the voice is Mr. Charron. The other adult in the group is Ms. Dorado. Together, they teach Project Ad- venture to the class. Project Ad- venture, which is a part of Fresh- man Physical Education, began this school year. An objective sheet for the course cites such goals as developing self-confi- dence and self-esteem, becoming aware of social responsibility, improving problem solving tech- niques, and having fun. The class works as a whole, with encour- agement from the teachers, to live up to these high standards. Although the class has just start- ed, the students already realize that success depends on working in a team. After warmups, which includ- ed the “circle running”, the class is given a seemingly simple task of transporting a beach ball from one side of the field to the other. There are however a few stipula- tions. The ball may not touch the ground at any time. No person is allowed to carry or hold onto the ball. If this still does not seem very hard, there is also a strong wind. The first suggestion from a class member calls for the group to form a line toward the goal. Each person is to hit the ball when it reaches him her and then run to the end of the line. In this way, the ball should reach the end of the goal. Unfortunate- ly, because of the wind, aiming an already moving beach ball at the next person in line is almost impossible. Ms. Dorado and Mr. Charron resist the temptation to “blurt out the solution”, because they want the students to come up with a solution an their own. Instead, both of the instructors encourage others to throw out their ideas. At least three times, Mr. Charron says “You have got to talk to each other.” The beach ball exercise is one of the first done in Project Ad- venture. Later the group will try J.

These beach ball beginnings, al- though they may seem relatively unexciting, are essential to the course because they allow the members of the group to get to know each other’s abilities. The group will begin to work better as a cohesive unit , and together they will work to face the chal- lenges which will confront them later. -Alexandria Burk P. Jones J. W-W

The work wasn’t always that hard (one person even said it was a bit monotonous), and in a little while, usually sooner than expected, most people man- aged to find their way around. Of course, there were excep- tions. A few people said they thought freshmen year would be better than it was. Overall though, most of the horrendous disasters expected by the stu- dents didn’t happen (or at least not yet). -Becky Minervino It can be very funny to look back on what has already hap- pened. When you remember your Freshman year, what do you think about? Even more, what did you expect from it be- fore it started? When some of this year’s freshman were asked this, many of their answers were the same. A lot of people thought high school would be an extreme change from anything else (that’s what they had been told). Some of them thought the upperclassmen would be less friendly. Most stu- dents agreed that they’d get lost around the school very easily and a few expected to be given wrong directions from the upperclassmen. After the year started, people began to think a little bit differ- mm f
