Physical Education lumps By Did you get your toes stuck? I used to be afraid of killing myseif! Russian splits are easy - aren't they? At first, hearing these comments might seem to indicate that a class in i01 ways to commit suicide was being offered from the third floor window. In- stead, it was just the harmless phraseology of landing gymnasts who trampolined their way into physical fit- ness. Taking a giant leap for womankind, they flip- flopped from their red and blue platform, into a color- ful blur, and were back again, guiltily permitting a sigh of relief.

Communication was a key theme, and the study of signs, from traffic lights to hugging, was an important step leading up to finding the most effective sign - people. juniors and seniors were presented with a wide selection of courses. ln Community Service, girls volunteered time at several charitable institutions, and listened to a variety of speakers. A class in prayer was offered to teach that praying was more than simple recitation, but a heart to heart expres- sion pertaining to everyday life. Other courses of- fered were Marriage, Old and New Testament, and Medical Ethics. Thus, religion classes, like a prism, broke the dullness of stereotyped ideas into a collection of personalized rainbows. Religion: Somewhere over l I l l i l i i ,
