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. In Health I learned a lot of things I did not know and in P.E., I had a good time.

T ouch of Genius Math classes become more demanding We asked ourselves, Why did I have to know this? while sitting in our Ge- ometry class. But math was more than adding and subtracting. Math was a combination of theories, logics, and for- mulas, or ot business and everday bud- get. The math department offered a va- riety ot courses to suit students and their individual needs. Consumer math and Fundamentals of math taught basic skills needed for everyday living. Geometry developed logical reasoning skills and used factual concepts to solve applied problems. The Algebra classes empha- sized the structure of mathematics and included applications and set the foun- dation for higher math. Sophomore Max sophomore Sherrie Smith gets by gco rn.m sophomore Jennifer Fisher netr) ' with a little help Smith said Learning Algebra II is not an easy experience. Trigonometry and Prc- Calculus set students for college work and fields requiring vigorous analysis particularly in the fields of Physics and Engineering. And the two advanced placement classes. Calculus and Com- puter Science, covered college material and were very demanding. Math de- partment chairman Kathy Burch said The adjustment to high school and its expectations sometimes makes it appear (to the student) that classes are demand- ing. But instead, some students need to adjust, study, think, and work and will then find that math blends and is useful and not that hard.
