1 t Touch of Arts Liberal Arts classes acquire new insights. Even though English might not have been your favorite class this year, it was probably the most important, junior Cindy Godfrey summed it up by saying, English is important because your whole lite evolves around communicat- ing, understanding, and expressing your feelings, emotions, and thoughts and the only way to accomplish this is to learn the language. Freshmen and sophomores stick main- ly to grammar while juniors and seniors stress reading and writing — including everyone ' s favorite, the RESEARCH PAPER! Jennifer Kowalik, junior, points out that although I do not understand the urgency of studying Mythology and Shakespeare for later life, I rhink the English department has done best by stressing the importance of good writing skills. Students have different reasons for lik- ing and disliking their English, but most agreed that it the teacher had a good sense ot humor, the class seemed to be more enjoyable. Senior Chris Washburn commented on his favorite English teach- er, Mrs. Guerrero by saying she was hilarious and made class more interest- ing. (]indy Godfrey, junior, expressed her feelings for Ms. Sager. She said, I never had so much fun in a class and actually learned something at the same time. Since English was the only class which was required all four years, it was one class we must have tolerated, if not en- joyed. Tina North, junior, believes Four years of English is required to ensure that the students will be able to function well in our society after graduation.

The Healing Touch Students qet physical throuqh fitness, awarei , awareness v In what classes is it required that you play with dolls, pretend you are drunk, and do nothing but play games? Believe it or not it was the required courses ot P.E., and Health. In Ms. Holt ' s health class, students participated in anti-alcohol skits. The students were required to write and per- form their own original skit. Their topics ranged from alcohol abuse in the home to drunk driving. Sophomore Bill Seker commented, The best thing about Health is the Anti-Alcohol skits. Eve- ryone enjoyed doing them and we all learned something new from each pres- entation. Health students also participated in a one week course in Cardio Pulminary Respiration (CPR). After it was com- pleted, all who passed the course were registered as knowing CPR and received cards to show for their efforts. In ad- dition to learning CPR, students also learned how to examine themselves for personal cancer. In P.E., students had a good time playing a variety of sports. According to sophomore Trey Siebert, The best thing about P.E. is all the different sports you get to play. If you take football or bas- ketball, unless you are really dedicated, you can get bored, but Gym you play all sports and cannot get bored. In general, students enjoyed their P.E. and Health classes and most came out with more knowledge then they had gone in with, Sophomote, Jeremy Reed said, P.E. and health were really in- teresting.
