It also offered all students a chance to obtain a certified CPR card from the Red Cross after an extensive unit was taught on CPR and emergency procedures. Mental health was also studied. Students learned about the causes of peer pressure, stress, an- ger, and how to deal with them all on a daily basis. Health was not just a class to teach the student about himself physical- ly, it taught the student how to better himself as a whole. Many students found P. E to be a wel- come change of pace from the regular classroom schedule. It gave them a chance to improve their physical abilities and to get into better shape through use of Rainiers great P.E. facilities such as baseball fields, a swimming pool, basket- ball courts, and a weight room. Students could chose from many different P.E. ac- tivities. Sean Clark thrusts on Resusa-Annie's chest as Mike Hagen checks for si;gns of breathing.

£cieMC aw Math M M any students took advantage iWu of the excessive science fwl courses offered at Rainier High. These courses dealt with all as- pects of the science field from fresh- man physical science to sophomore bi- ology to the electives of chemistry and physics. Lab experements were an important part of all of these classes. They gave students a hands-on experience as well as a better understanding of the subjects being studied. II. . . , hen are we ever going to use this? , seemed to be a classic common complaint at Rainier High School math depart- ment. All complaints aside, many stu- dents found math to be a very useful subject to have taken when enrolling in other math related subjects such as chemistry, personal finance, and busi- ness lab.
