Prep has an excellent Bible program that began when Prep first opened its doors in 1970 and has been taught by Mrs. Jud Allen since that time. This year about eighty students were taking the course, which was offered to grades eight, nine, eleven, and twelve. Each student made a choice of a translation of the Bible, which then became his textbook. In the eighth grade, students were taught only the high points, including main characters. In the ninth, eleventh, and twelfth grades students took a more thorough course beginning with a history of the English Bible and ending with an in-depth study of the life of Jesus. The course was taught from an historical per- spective with minimum interpretation. fupper rightj Under the ever-present poster of Paris, Bill Crim and Steve Murrell contemplate their test question.. flower rightj Preparing to take notes, Janie Tyson flipped eagerly through her notes. 63

P.E. Utilized Patnot Energy A student's week would never be com- plete without gym classes. Physical educa- tion is required for all students from the seventh through the twelfth grades be- cause of the belief that sports help to de- velop a sense of fair play and an apprecia- tion of physical fitness. The instructors for the girls, gym classes were the ever popular Miss Sarah Beth jor- dan and Miss Colleen Ingram. The girls learned the rules and skills of basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, badminton, paddle tennis, flag-football, square danc- ing, gymnastics, softball, and track.
