New Class, Old Problems Seventh grader Brian Sexton kicks a ball in second period P.E. class. The class also played softball, volleyball, and basketball in addition to testing their skills on an obstacle course. A new subject was introduced to Hauser's curriculum last year. This course was substance abuse, taught by Mr. Dave Irvine. It was a health related course dealing with the problems facing the young people of today. This class is very necessary to learn the affects of drugs on the body, stated Rhonda Miller, a student of substance abuse. Our goal in this course is to combat this national disease through the use of an open discussion situation and by factual information which we are exposing our students to, explained Mr. Dave Irvine. “We try not to use scare tactics or personal embarrassment to provide the proper education. Some of the topics discussed were alcohol, amphetamines, barbitu- rates, tobacco, hallucinogens, and marijuana. I am glad that this class was offered because now I have the knowledge to discourage other people and warn them about the dangers, replied Amy Baker. I have learned that there is no logical reason for taking drugs and people shouldn't use them for an escape. Drugs have become worse than in previous years and by having classes available for students, it makes them more aware of the affects it has on the body and the mind. With this added course in Hauser's curriculum it can help the students at this school to handle the pressures put on them, stated Mark Williams. Tracy Tanguma reads an assignment dealing with basic safety and first aid in seventh period health class. Health students learned how to care for victims of choking, fires, and car accidents. 13
