The computer did it CONDITIONS AFFECT CLASSES P.E. and Health and Safety classes experienced a period of readjustment this year when plagued with over-crowded classes. A scheduling error was blamed for the confusion. The computer enrolled fifteen students in the first hour P.E. class and one hundred and fifteen students in the 3200 class. Because of the crowded conditions, some of the boys didn't get to swim at all. Girls had three week courses in swimming compared to the six week courses in the past. Mrs. Remmel thought that The kids were getting ripped off. Mrs. Slater said, The kids are taking it well. Thirty Health and Safety students traveled to the Michigan City Area grade schools to give health and science demonstrations. Children viewed posters, mobiles, electronic gadgets and other devices designed to stimulate interest in good health. Shereen Dawson, P.IE. student, does a hur- dler stretch during calisthenics.
