Health Of Students Depends On Health The head bone is connected to the neck bone, the neck bone is connected to the shoulder bone, or is it the other way around? This question and others on how to take care of the human body are answered in health. Students during their junior year increase their knowledge about such subjects as air pollution, medicines, diseases, broken bones, cuts, and cardiac arrest. Completing reports, drawing posters, and practicing CPR are just a few of the projects students complete. Many subjects during the course are interesting, but a majority of the students enjoy emergency action. Sitting on the floor, the class at first watches how bandages or splints are applied. Then in the buddy system, they practice the different techniques of treating wounds. Students did not believe they would get actual CPR training, but with a mechanical doll named Anatomical Annie, the class works diligently to perfect the procedure. About the value of taking health, Bridget Swinger comment- ed, First aid was my most enjoyable and practical subject. We bandaged each other and had a good time. I think what I have learned in this course will help me cope with problems of my own and others. 7 27

Students from seven classes combined their efforts to prepare over fifty ethnic dishes for the dinner. During the meal, members of the band played polkas. Afterwards, Larry Heagy, Dan Hunnicutt and Stacey Pyles sang. In the classroom, students probe modern literature repre- senting a wide range of nationalities for common themes such as love, brotherhood, prejudice, and alienation. Some of the classes attended area ethnic events. 28
