CPR is only one of many skills taught in physical education classes. CPR classes ere also taught to faculty members in after school sessions. e 1 l z l z l Music, phys ed develops skills At first glance music and physical education classes have nothing in com- mon. However, both curriculum areas are concerned with developing skills and improving performance levels. i Many different classes were offered in the field of music, whether it was vocal or instrumental. Orchestra and stage band put on many concerts throughout the year. Half-time at football games was the major performing ground for the marching band, while the pep band per- formed at all home basketball games. Concert Choir, Northwest Singers, Sophomore Choir and Girls Ensemble learned in class basic vocal placement, focus of vocal tone, and rhythm sight reading. Q At State competition in Emporia, Kevin Brightup and Tim McLemore received I ratings on their marimbo solo's. Also receiving I ratings were Nola Gutzman, Becky Marshall, LeAnna Nicholson, and Susan VanSteinberg. Vocalists recieving I ratings were Gail Eastwood, Celia Morrison, Chris Stuever, and Sharla Vogt. ln addition, Concert Choir, Northwest Singers, Girls ensem- ble and Sophomore mixed ensemble also recieved I's. l In the physical education classes the regular procedure for the day was suiting up, taking role, and then following that day's planned activity. Classes played volleyball, basketball, tennis, and swim- ming. Aside from the regular athletic cur- riculum of physical education, students were taught the concepts of physical education. They were taught the reasons for getting and staying in shape and why this is so important to good health. CPR was also taught and was a valuable class to those who wanted to know howlto save another person's life. Physical education teachers also held special after l school CPR sessions for faculty members in an effort to provide them with the necessary training and knowledge of this slcill. Although physical education was a re- quired course for all sophomores, many upperclassmen enrolled in honors physical education, the weight-training program and in the junior-senior leader- ship program.
