junior gym class members await the end of roll call to play volleyball. One hour athletes jock out i il 5 Looking into the gym after school hours, one would doubt that almost 200 people tromp in and out of that building every hour of every weekday all year long. Deodorant, baby-powder, showers and perspiration became a daily routine for one-hour jocks and jockettes. Suffering through rainy let's play ping- pong days, to December's play tennis and freeze days, through April's we love humidity days, students got by with the thought someday we'll look back on this and laugh in their headsl Freshmen and sophomores could get lucky and experience Behind-the-Wheel, a six weeks driving course. Not only long drives,'but,quick drives to the donut shop helped them concentrate better on their driving abilities. ,One could frequently walk into the simulatorshack and see red lights saying slow down and wrong gear on the panel as a student would drive his car in reverse doing 80 mph.

Life saving speeches helped students gain knowledge of what to expect if dunked into a water fountain via seniors. Current events played a major part in relating to Health. New machinery, such as automatic baby bottle makers, were big news to little freshmen. A Health class under the supervision of a coach usually spent the day before and after a football or basketball game discussing the predicted score or which was the better team. The usual routine seemed to consist of reading the chapter, answering the questions and having a test. One was bound to hear a sigh of relief at the last day of the required second quarter of Health, only to look ahead at a future of Gym class. ft Affair? km Running briskly for a touchdown is Steve
