Physical Education and Driver Education Provide Different Pace During Student ' s Day Arnold Petty, Jackie Miley, Chi Chi Johnson, and Julius Klopp tee up. Physical education is required of all students each year. This year the girls participated in volleyball, archery, modern dancing, gymnastics, soccer and golf. Boys par- ticipated in wrestling, softball, and archery. Driver education was delayed this past year as the school received a new car which had to be outfitted with a second brake. It seemed doubtful to many of the students that they would ever become drivers; how- ever, under the careful guidance of Mr. Platz, they didn ' t manage to dent any fenders. Okay, pupils, instructs Mr. Platz. Take your places and roll • III em! Mr. Weygandt ' s boys physical education class snaps to attention. 23

Stock Market , Income Tax , Voting , Termpapers Are Part Of Jan Hattery and Diane Morton are quite pleased with their selection of stock shares. After checking the latest quotations, they ' ve discovered they ' ve made a million — well, at least on paper. Rick Brobst, Bill Wolfe, Macy Hallock, and Dave Claypool, we bet, are using that old alibi — I have a paper for social studies — to get admittance to the library. Can ' t you tell they ' re working diligently? Social Studies Social sciences include American government, economics, AP History for seniors. Junior courses included American history, world his- tory, and American Heritage. Economics students had fun playing the stock market and working on income tax returns. All students were given a look at a real vot- ing booth as the lobby was used during reg- ular elections. Now, we ' re sure that voting procedures were not taught this way at MHS. Well, anyway two of our juniors decided to get in some early practice when the voting booths were in the lobby during the primaries. 22

Vocational Courses Prepare Business Machines students — Dave Williams and John Nixon remember to honor our local secretaries Marjorie Poetsch and Jean Thornburg with corsages on during National Secretaries Week. Kathy Beers takes advantage of a quiet moment in the shorthand lab to get in some extra pages of practice by listening to a tape-recorded lesson that comes to her by way of a wireless student unit. Ed Currier figures this extra work during business machines class should earn him a few polished points toward a grade. Here he is folding, counting and sorting programs that were printed in the department for a concert. Diane Myers checks her letter to see if it will pass the mailability test before she submits it to the instructor during shorthand transcription class. 24
