Changes Made In PE And Health The juniors and seniors joined the sophomores this year as they finished out their full year requirement of Health. Health is a full year course now for all students. Another change this year was that all the Physical Education classes became Coed. Paula Sangster joined the teaching staff this year as one of the Coed PE teachers after six years of teaching at the junior high level. Miss Sangster commented, There wasn't that much more of a change, except that you have to be more flexible with the students at high school than at junior high. Most of the PE teachers liked Coed PE. They felt that the classes, being all coed, were really going well. Mr. Thomas and Mr. Walker are two other Coed PE teachers. Mr. Walker also teaches Health. This year's Health program included some new things: growth and development, advanced nutrition, a disease unit and a mental health unit. 1.

Metals, Engines Mastered “This year's classes were very good, with the exception that some kids thought that Metals was a goot-off class, commented Mr. Hermann. Metals was a learning experience for most of the kids who wanted to try to accomplish something. Most of the students have learned many basic skills, such as Arc and Oxyacetylene welding, and how to figure a bill of materials and plan their projects. The best project worked on in class was the building of a heating stove by Banner Parker. “Small Engines was an overall good class, commented Mr. Vincent. The main goal of this year's class was to teach them good working habits and to get an introduction to small engines. Mr. Vincent also said that it was a learning experience for him, because it was his first year of teaching high school students. 1.

Sophs Face New Class This year the state required all sophomores to take Global Studies. Most sophomores seemed to find the new requirement a pretty interesting class. In Global Studies the sophomores studied different countries and cultures and how all countries are interdependent. They compared the United States with other countries. This class was taught by Mrs. Sixberry, Mr. Robnett. and Mrs. Kingery. Along with Global Studies is U.S. History, a class required for juniors, and Civics, a class required for freshmen. Both of these classes are taught by Mr. Peterson. He has been teaching PE for 2t years and said, Civics and History are a pleasant change from PE. All three of these classes are in the Social Studies department. Civics is a class about the American government. 1 Mr. Peterson helps Jean Priest with her U.S. History assignment. 2 Mrs. Sixberry lectures her Global Studies class while getting ready to show them a slide presentation Social Studies 23
