History And Other Countries By the time a student graduates from Genoa High School he should have a knowledge of the histories and the governments of the world and the United States. Sophomores are required to take World History where they learn the histories, gov- ernments, and customs of the many countries of the world. They taped make believe interviews with fa- mous people of the past for a spe- cial project. The history of the American peo- ple is studied during the Junior year. This study of the United States is continued into the Senior year with American government. The highpoint of the year for seniors is a trip to Port Clinton to see how the county government operates. Not only does the GAHS student learn of his own country, but he has an opportunity to learn of two for- eign countries. Classes are taught in both French and Spanish. The class covers not only the language but also the customs and the way of life of these counties. Above: French student Jenny Spears concentrates on the recording of a conversation in that language.

Gym Class Provides Action Physical Education is required for all students unless they have a credit in health. Gym class means a study hall, two period class or gym every other day. The question Whose gym day is it today? was often heard in the halls on Friday because boys and girls alternate Fridays for gym classes. During the year the physical edu- cation department covered many fields of athletics. The girls spent each gym period playing action packed games such as softball, vol- leyball, deck tennis, basketball, badminton, soccer and gymnastics. This year the girls, as well as the boys were instructed on how to use the new mini-tramp. The boys played baseball, foot- ball, basketball, badminton, volley- ball, lifted weights, wrestled and tumbled. Keeping his eye on the bail Don Mathews is set for another hit.
