FIT AS A FIDDLE . . .exercise Lake Orion High School was like any other All American High School, which had classes that put even the most well rested straight A students to sleep lwhile still managing to maintain their straight A averagesj In order for the administration and faculty of L.O.H.S. to get and keep the attention of all their students they developed some off-beat classes designed to break the monotony of every student's schedule. lt seems no matter who you are or what you do, music is always around to keep you company in Orion. Whether you're doing your homework with the radio blarring, or absorbing Dr. Hoganson's Poetry of Rock class, music is part of the ac- tivity. Whenever students were asked what they did over the 78 summer the casual reply often was I kicked out the jams at the concerts! Just keeping a record collection up to date becomes expensive with albums ranging from a low 34.99 for a single album to a painful 612.99 for a double album. Many of the teachers are also very knowledgeable in the field of music: understandably the groups vary. One such teacher is Mr. Rob Schadel, director of the L.O.H.S. bands. Schadel noted that l was born very young! and, at a very ear- ly age he knew that he wanted to become a band director, as both his father and brother were also band directors. When Mr. Schadel went off to MSU to become a director he learn- ed to play all the instruments there were to play. At State he learned to arrange music and teach what he- was learning to students in the future. According to one of his students A lt's a very demanding class!

Two such peo- ple are Kathy Maclvor who illustrates pictures for a magazine while going to college and Kathy Liddicoatt who sells oil paintings and is going to graduate from MSU this year. The students of L.O.H.S. who were interested in staying in good shape could have done so in numerous ways, one such way being to enroll in the physical fitness class offered at L.O.H.S. during the 1978-79 school year. The students who did so emerged slightly different from the way they had entered the class. The reason for their increased strength, newfound endurance and lost poun- dage was their constant physical ac- tivity one hour a day, for one quarter. The teacher, Mr. Malatin com- mented, The class isn't really that hard. But a few L.O.H.S. students who developed stiffened limbs and joints from the physical fitness class begged to differ with him. Instead of taking one of L.O.H.S.'s many phys. ed. classes some students decided to follow the rest of our country into one of its newest and fastest developing pastimes - jogging. Jogging was for the person who wanted a link with the out-of- doors and at the same time wanted to improve the physical condition of his heart and lungs and body.
