Who wants to walk around school looking like he just stepped out of a shower? No one, but students taking PE do it every day. I hate walking around school hot and sweaty after tennis, said sophomore Heidi Schneiderman. But, Schneiderman and others like her gain reprieve on rainy days when students get to play ping pong inside. Other- wise, team sports like tennis, volleyball, softball and Hawaiian toot- ball occupy their time. My favorite game is Hawaiian foot- ball because you can pass the ball while over the line of scrimmage, ex- plained sophomore Hernando Olan. Like every course, PE has a test. I almost died, remarked sophomore Cathy Sild after taking the Physical Fitness Test. A grueling 12-minute run, two minutes of fast situps and the arm hang make up the test. Although many hate to be tested, students do like the new uniform policy. Instead of having to wear pur- ple shorts and white shirts, we may wear anything we want, said sophomore David lvlao. PE consists of off-season swimming, ice skating and dance classes. ln the dance classes, students learn ballet, jazz, aerobics and tap dancing. 14 I PE Plus PE P L U S I Tired bodies trudge halls I after exhausting hour in gym I think PE dance is a fun and en- thusiastic class, added sophomore Amy Newfeld. Still another class is Partners PE, where specially trained aides help peo- ple who have never had a chance to participate in PE before. Aides provide one-on-one instruction to PPE students and help them play tennis, badmitton and frisbee. PPE students also go on school trips to ice skate, bowl and miniature golf. Of the eighty who applied to be aides, thirty were selected. They were trained to be aware of all types of physical problems and how to handle them to better help each individual's needs. The program is coordinated by coaches Jim Guinta and Billie Phillips. The whole point of the class is teaching students the basics of dit ferent sports and games, according to senior LeeAnn McMurry. Then they can do them later in life, she added. - Tim Reichert Sophomore Alecia Wilson plays ping pong in her PE class, Lifetime Sports A, in which students learn how to play tennis and table tennis.

I like to create, said senior Kevin Thomas when explaining why he took art. While Thomas creates by using clay and charcoal, other students in the arts interpret through music. Choir takes just as much talent as instrumental music but it isn't as well publicized, said soprano Wanda Alexander, a member of both the Madrigals and choir. While the choir traveled to Corpus Christi and the Madrigals to San An- tonio, the band went to Chicago. Before going to Vienna, Austria, in July, the orchestra also traveled to Corpus for the Buccaneer Music Festival. The orchestra has more maturity and greater depth this year, according to director Joe Frank. We know we're the best at what we do, stated violist Steve Graffeo. We see each other at our worst and our best, said violinist Katie Her- nandez. You don't get along all the time, but you work it out, added senior Nancy Tanner. Overall, the musical groups and the drama students share junior Becky Richardson's feelings, We're one big family. I think theater is exciting, stated teacher and director Dick Tenenberg. 1 6 The Arts Interpretation without 'I' HE I words proves possible I in music, art, drama The group of people in here is so interesting, agreed junior Kim Welch. The drama department summoned its audience to an evening in court, Nov. 17-21, for The Night of January X . 16th followed by You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown in December. Spring performances included Arsenic and Old Lace and The Curious Savage. - Mary Brooks sit . , Mr. Wade Bennett, Mr. Joe Frank, Ms, Kathleen Panoff, Mrs. Kay Savay, Ms. iris Speckman, choir orchestra band ceramics art fl.
