Creativity Extends To Different Areas The library was the scene of two student art shows and Mr. Ball's personal show and sale in April. David Cooper looks over the ceramics at the spring student show. The social science classes kept busy one way or another. The American History class was no different. They had read- ing, worksheets and term papers to do. Aaron Moody, Sherry Koch, Mark Swi- gart, Mary Sattler and Lisa Logan keep busy with their work.

From 8:28 until 3:22 the coaches extend their talents to the academic areas. Increased interest which result- ed in bigger classes and more sections of classes was partly at- tributed to the new graduation requirements for classes gradu- ating after 1981. Social science requirements are up to two and a half units and one-half unit of Health Education was added to the one unit of physical educa- tion required. If a student is not interested in vocal music or band classes, it is possible for that student to earn his fine arts credit through the art de- partment’s wide range of elec- tive courses. One of the many activities of all the P.E. classes was gymnastics. Most of the stu- dents had other activities to “tend to, but there was always a strange one. Robin Wolf can be seen “hanging around” in the gym with her friends Dee Krause and Gwen Stucky in Advanced P.E. class. They spent time improving their gymnas- tic abilities.
