Blind walk tightrope with guide Self-hypnosis, surveys allow understanding of behavior patterns. You had a totally helpless feeling, like walking a tightrope, Joe Lineros, senior, said. The perception activity, a project of the psychology classes, gave the students an understanding of how blind people rely on their senses. Blindfolded, each student was given a guide assistant. Your guide was the only thing keeping you from running into things, Joe said. Helping students understand themselves and their behavior, Mrs. Jackie Slaughter, psychology and sociology teacher, prepared the students for the future. lt should help them to understand and better cope with the stress and problems of our society, Mrs. Slaughter said. Also to the psychology classes Sergeant Alvin Fowler presented a self-hypnosis demonstration.

Teaching PE, psychology, and sociology are only a few classes Mrs. Avis Kennedy substituted for. PSYCHOLOGY-SOCIOLOGY stream. Studying the patterns and problems of human group life, the sociology students took a school survey of approximately 300 people and what they were interested in. We surveyed everything from mari- juana use to alcohol to school spirit, Mrs. Slaughter said. Among other activities the classes wat- ched films, filmstrips and video tapes. They researched fads and studied a sur- vival activity. A social security represen- tative spoke to the sociology classes. Researching people's real mental pro- blems, their symptoms, and treatment were all a part of the psychology and sociology studies. In addition to keeping their minds physically fit, the physical education students learned through active sports how to also keep their bodies in good condi- tion. Lacking an area to work out while the new athletic facility was under construc- tion, the PE classes met in the cafeteria or worked out in the auditorium the first semester. Coach Don Derryberry and Coach Roland Rangel's PE classes were in- troduced to volleyball and ping pong. They competed in a volleyball game in which Coach Derryberry's class won two out of three games. It is good for students to compete against each other and other classes. It allows them to experience competition and team work, Coach Derryberry said. Next year we hope to have better facilities and get a PE credit for skating at Holiday Roller Rink, Coach Cambell said. New ways of staying in shape were in- troduced to Coach Aundrea Cambell's classes through racquetball, aerobics, and roller skating. I

Consequences stiff 'Few minutes of fun not worth penalty, i officer says. Mrs. Janna Ward, former narcotics officer for the Beaumont Police Department visited Mrs. Lou Fan- ning's third period business law class. She came not to preach about using drugs, but to detail the consequences if a person was arrested on a drug or alcohol related charge. i'Selling or delivering large amounts of drugs, even marijuana can get you a life or death penalty, she said. Even a class B misdemeanor, a person may receive up to six months in a county jail andfor a S1000 fine, Mrs. Ward said. Mrs. Ward went on to describe the division of penalties in Texas and federal laws on drug and alcohol related charges. A person may be charged in both state and federal court for the same drug offense without in- curring double jeopardy. Never try to stuff anything under the seat or reach for the glove com- Checking for specimens along a half-mile jetty, Mrs. Candace Peel, Shelly Drouidlard and David Monroe lead the ex- pedition of oceanography students who took a field trip to Port Aransas. FIELD TRIPSXSPEAKERS partment. The first thing a police of- ficer will think is that you may have a gun and will try to hurt him. Always be helpful and polite and usually the of- ficer will return this courtesy, she said. Especially when drunk, if a per- son does cooperate when pulled over, the police may let him go on to his home if nearby. When buying alcohol, the buyer can receive up to a S200 fine if under 19 years of age, and the seller will also receive a fine and may have his liquor license revoked. The seller's fine is usually a great deal more. Teenagers should make a con- scious decision about using drugs. I feel it is necessary to learn the conse- quences of your actions before you act, not afterwards when itls too late. A prison sentence is a high price to pay for a few minutes of fun, Mrs. Ward stressed.l Not a week went by that business teacher Mrs. Lou Fanning didn't arrange for a guest speaker to visit her classes.
