Basketball was a never ending game during the long cold win- ter. Drivers' Ed instructor, Howard Ryan and Coach Jones exhibit the sense of humor that makes them popular with students. Coach Jones gets an excellent view as he instructs students on how to high jump. Being both health teachers and coaches, Mrs. Brantly and Mrs. Brewer had a full schedule. Many students entered creative dance class with hopes of being in Gold Dus ters next year. Fc:cuItyfAcademics -191

Creative Dance, GoldDusters, Health, and P.E. make up the Phys- ical Education curriculum this year. In Creative Dance, one hundred students learned to do just that. Starting the year, they learned basic movements and exercises moving onto jazz, folk, square and other forms of dance. In GoldD- usters were 54 beautiful girls who received many well deserving standing ovations as they per- formed for the students at pep ral- lies and for the public at football games. Health is required for all students during their sophomore year. They studied many subject areas including communications, personal hygiene, first aid, alcohol, tobacco, and drug abuse. The best thing about Health is that it is only a two quarter course. Driver's Ed fills the other quarter gap, a class which this year pre- pared a couple of hundred students to be declared legal drivers as their 16th birthday arrived. Actually Driv- er's Ed is divided into three parts. First is the bookwork and the all important test. If a student gets by this crucial test, the student is awarded with a driver's permit. Secondly, sophomores take a simu- lation course and finally, they put their driving knowledge into prac- tice. With three giggling classmates in the back seat and an instructor whom they soon realize is not quite as mean as they had previously heard. l9O - Faculty and Academics ERS EDUC TI LTH DRI HE PH SIC LEDUC Tl Albert Perez shows interesting form as he takes a shot during F'.E.

The Physical Education Department is rounded off with P.E. class which has taken on a new meaning from the play around class it once was. More and more students are realizing the importance of getting an adequate amount of physical activity. Not just now but throughout their life. Indoor sports were popular and students were given their choice of ones such as basket- ball, volleyball, dance, badminton, ping pong, and soccer. But finally one day in March the weather warmed, the rain clouds cleared and our old friend the sun paid a long awaited and very welcomed visit. And students hit the field in sports such as tennis, horseshoes, flag football, track and field.
