GQMPETUTHQN PERQVHEDES VZNERUIETY Physical education is required for freshman and sophomore students while gym is offered as an elective for juniors and seniors. Gym teachers aren't just busy instructing classes. ln addition, they are busy coaching most of the sports. ln December, several staff members played an odd sport - Donkey Basketball. This was sponsored by the Boys' Varsity 'P', giving the faculty a chance to show off their talents playing basketball as well as riding a donkey. Perkins faculty came out with an overriding victory over WLEC. As physical education students exert their energy physically, music students exert them culturally. This year's choir sent nine girls to Fremont for competition where their perfor- mances were rated by distinguished judges. The band performs at pep-rallies, sport events, concerts, and the fine arts festivals. Preparing for competition also takes up much of their time as members perform at contests. The social studies department is also involved in a type of competition. Students and faculty involved in Youth and Gov- ernment prepared bills which were presented ata convention in Columbus. 1 . 1.

These classes provide a variety of activities during the school year. On Valentine's Day, students from home ec classes made special Valentine cookies for those who wanted to give a treat to someone special. Later in the day, cookies were hand delivered by home ec members. Art drawing and crafts are offered by the art department. ln Miss Char Schuman's art classes, she aids her students in making paintings for the Sandusky Bay Festival. Entering their paintings in contests gives PHS art students the chance to show off their artistic talent, win prizes, and compete against other young artists. Varied areas in industrial arts, such as Power Mechanics, Woodworking, Engineering Drawing, and Metalworking teach students fundamentals of the industrial world. ln Power Me- chanics, students study functions of systems and work on cars and stationary engines. Woodworking classes are for students who are interested in the building trade. These electives give students the opportunity to gain exper- ience and knowledge in their areas of interest.
