I is 'v--A 3 X Knowing about yourself, your abilities and limitations, is a big part of education. To understand how all of us are similar, as well as what causes our differences, is very important, and makes up a large segment of what is taught in gym and health classes. Physical education is required until the sophomore year, after that, one can take an advanced class and choose his own activity, such as physical conditioning, swimming, or bowling. Although to some this course may be a monotonous, even embarrassing experience, it still offers a great way to keep fit and to share victories, and defeats, with-others. Health class is another requirement for graduation, but it is far from an unpopular one. Through semester projects, films, and group discussions, a student can learn in an enjoyable way what makes people tick. Current issues, such as drugs and diseases, are studied, along with the traditional anat- omy lessons. Many times the students can relate their own ideas to the class, and in this way are able to feel a real part of it. Health is, indeed, a pleasant place to be. . ' t. 4,2 Q . 5 A . nn' 1. s I i..

Lei The loyous news fy... g f I l This yearis SPARTANA presented a new look. A monthly newsmagazine which attempted to do more than simply recite stale scores and chronicle school events that had occurred days before, the 1975-1976 SPARTANA tried to give an in-depth look at Homestead and its inhabitants. Even the environs of Homestead-Fort Wayne and vicinity-were covered in an early issue which was an attempt to show sides of Fort Wayne that even longtime residents may have overlooked. And the SPARTANA later in the year decided to laugh at itself and the rest of us in a parody of high school newspapers. Simply doing what had been done before would have been easy for the members of the SPARTANA staffg creating a new product and defending it afforded an expe- rience that both united and rewarded the staff-an experience that will be remem- bered long after the specific content of ephemeral issues has been lost in the recesses of their minds.
