P.E.O. proctice in the pool. Poddle Proctice Conoeing in o swimming pool moy seem stronge to most people, but to North High School's P.E. teocher Bobbie Dewey there wos method to this modness. Mrs. Dewey wos owore thot putting the students in the pool with conoes would enoble her to teoch conoe sofety ond the vorious poddling techniques. She odvised the students in the closses thot there wos o definite difference between conoeing ond poddling, ond she tought them these skills ond then shorpened them before she turned students loose on the rough ond wild ropids of the conols in Fort Myers. Once in the conols, the students opplied those skills leorned ond perfected while they were in North's swimming pool. They hod leorned whot to do if ond when their conoe copsized or swomped, ond they olso leorned how to help other people who might be in distress. ln opplying these skills, the students would eosily leorn the even horder technique of white woter rofting ond conoeing. When Red Knights sow the conoes delivered ond stocked by the science building, they knew thot some of them would be getting their feet wet. It didn't motter if the temperoture of the woter wos 800 or 400. They would pile in those conoes ond poddle oround for forty minutes. lnevitobly, o few would emerge considerobly more wet thon they were when they storted. In spite of the puzzled ond questioning expressions from onlookers, our Red Knight seamen poddled vigorously ond enthusiosticolly os they onticipoted sum- mer fun on the river. a , Peggy White Joy Whited Mork Whitten Steven Whittle Deono Wiont Joy Wildmon Bridgitte Willioms Michoel Willioms Morris Willioms Roosevelt Willioms Sobrino Willioms Theodore Willioms Koren Williomson Michoel Wilson Penny Wilson Jeffrey Wood Nicole Wooten Froncesco Wright John Yeomons Leigh Ann Young Tereso Young Melisso Zone Shown Zielinski Jomes Zuidemo 225
