El Twetwwwq X P.E. All Fun and Games The physical education classes, or PE classes for short, got off on a good leg last year with the help of Miss Kathy Hunt as the sole PE in- structor. She struggled with fifty students to teach them about a cer- tain sport so they understand it when they go to watch a sporting event. Miss Hunt remarked, It's surprising how many kids know how to play a specific game, but have no idea why it's played that way. That was one less problem for Miss Hunt to lug around, she had every kid play every position in all the sports that were covered so that they could see and understand the different aspects of the games. Miss Hunt stressed, We weren't trying to make them varsity athletes, we're just trying to help their understanding and knowledge ofthe game. lf understanding the game is an important factor to consider when sf ,ffv . , ff 4' ,aj gh f weightlifting unit.

Under the school policy, freshmen are required to take PE or else go out for three sports. However, not everyone had the chance to play in the sport they wanted, as only a certain number is needed to make a team. In result of this, many kids were cut from the teams. Maybe next year's freshmen will reconsider taking PE, as it might be more worthwhile, especially since it guarantees more physical activity. Besides, the administration took ac- tion and has tried to come up with some new ideas. Hopefully that will include new equipment, and to give the students a choice as to what ac- tivities they want to get involved in for PE.

Last year, the accounting classes got the chance to use computers - the computer was called the Computer Assisted lnstruction. There were two computers and one printer available to the students. Mrs. Kolb, who teaches many of the business courses said, I want the kids to understand what they can do with computers in the accounting field. A couple of students gave some comments about the computers. Jeanne Tunender said, lt was in- teresting and a good experience. Dave Bruhn remarked, lt's edu- cational.

Students Help in the Library For twelve years now, as long as O'Gorman's loyal librarian, Mrs. Osthus has been with us, students have volunteered to help in the school library. Given an open hour, the volunteers shelved and straightened books and worked on the bulletin boards. The names on the job list first semester included Sue Evans, and Kathy McGuire. San- die McGraw and Lori Strasser con- stituted second semester helpers. First semester assistant, Kathy McGuire, added what she enjoyed about working in the library.

Receiving scholarships at the end of the year by profits earned by them from the magazine drive, inspired and promoted hard work. Mrs. Osthus said, There's so much to do and learn in the library. The volunteers are a great help as well as neat people. Helping in the library could have started a few of the workers on their way to an occupa- tion of working in a library. Two previous assistants, Cheryl Kaatz and David Shuster got part time jobs at public libraries. Last year, the library received a grant which enabl- ed them to update the card catalog and to buy films and new books. Mrs. Osthus plans also to add more room someday. All this effort and work revealed that the library was well under control. The staff consisted of Mrs. Osthus, head librarian, Mrs. Mc- Wayne, paraprofessional, and a handful of loyal student helpers to assist. X? X ls ll 'Q
