This is your life Phys ed offers students fun way to stay fit ife may not be all fun and games, but for sophomores enrolled in physical educa- tion class, at least one period of each day was reserved for just that. Sophomore Mona Hattison called the class a favorite of her day. It's nice to break into the regular day with a class that you can play games in, she said. Not only the games, but the company was a big factor in making physical education fun, Mona added. You are having fun, and at the same time you are learning to work as a team. Exercise was a benefit too, and Mona said that after less than a semester she could accomplish things she couldn't do before taking physical education. Sophomore Derrick Dickerson agreed. It keeps you in good good physical condition, and it can keep you in shape for life. Mona admitted that having a physical education class in the middle of the day wasn't always the most convenient schedule. Sometimes when I come to school in nice clothes, I hate to get out of them and into shorts for physical education class, she said. But I do because I need the grade. And I'm usually glad I did. Doing things I enjoy with people I like makes me feel better about my day. And what about all of the exercise? Mona's answer was simple. You sure don't get fat, she said. - By Christy Hicks SEW PERFECT - Senior Robert Thomas puts his hands to the task at the sewing machine in home economics class.

This is your life Business law course offers lessons about rights that are useful now and will also help in the future uture businessmen and lawyers got a preview of their profession in business law classes, and, according to senior Teddy Arnett, a lot of what they learned was as useful for the present as it will be for the future. One thing we studied about was the rights of minors, he said, and we learned that there are things we can and can't do. A lawyer spoke to the class regarding the rights of minors, and Ted said he learned a lot from the question and answer session that took place after the speech. One person asked about our rights if we are driving and the police pull us over, he said. The answer was that the police can do just about anything they want if they have even a slight reason to believe that we have broken the law. Another speaker represented the juvenile court system, and Teddy said that the presentation was interesting. I thought that juveniles went to the same court that adults go to, he said, but they don't. They go to juvenile court, and that's better because they are more interested in straightening you out than in punishing you. A favorite activity of the business law classes is their annual day spent in Municipal Court. Teddy said that in his opinion, the visit represented a strong legal system. I found out that the court system is much stiffer than I had thought, he said. I thought everybody got off, but I found out that this isn't true. Most people who break the law don't get off, they have to pay the price. - By Chris Glass WI-IAT'S COOKIN7 - Sophomores Tina Small, Karen Burlienson, and Cheryl Pate and juniors Pauline Rogers and Susan Carter sample a meal they prepared in their Home Ec II class.
