T HE boys' PE department began a new junior-senior advanced PE class. These two classes, taught by Mr. Darrel Mack, stressed weight lifting. The regular sophomore PE classes participated in a track meet in the spring, while they concentrated on physical fitness throughout the year. The sophomore girls, under the direction of Mrs. Gina Baker, had many objectives. They developed initiative and creativity through modern dance and gymnastics. Playing team sports, they came to understand the rules of the games and their purposes. They gained self-confi- dence and learned to cooperate with others. But above all, their objective was to have fun! With the help of Mrs. Delores Sparks and Mrs. Bea Elder, the home economics students had a tea and style show for their mothers and friends in the spring. Mr. Darrel Mack 79
