Learn Basic Skills STUDENTS LEARN BASIC FIRST AID Physical education classes started the year with archery. Both the girls' and boys' classes were taught the necessary basics of the sport. Practice targets were made from bails of hay. Later in the year the boys played basketball and worked out on the trampoline while the girls prac- ticed modern dancing and played tennis. Ninth and tenth health classes were taught by Mr. Craig Kitching. During the first semester students studied the bones and muscles of the human body. For the second half of the year first aide tactics were of main concern. Students learned all about poisons and how to administer mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Mr. Kitching instructed the drivers ed class the first semester and Mr. Peter Nightingale taught the class the second semester. These in- structors taught the necessary skills needed for every day driving. (Top) Teri Riley, Elaine Quilhaugh, and Sue Nixon dance to the music for a modern dance unit in physical ed class.
