N PE, Health Shape You Up ealth and PE don't sound any- thing alilse but they do have some things in common, You need PE or some type of activity where you use energy in order to be healthy. Most students who are in PE lilse it. They say it helps them stay in shape Ca big thing these daysb, and they also learn how to play a vari- ety of sports. ln girls' PE classes, ping pong, bad- minton, volleyball, basketball, soc- cer, inside hoclsey, tennis, golf, aer- obics and weight lifting are learned. Junior Cathy Beers, said she lilsed PE because, you not only get to meet other people, but also in the long run, you learn a little some- thing about each sport, Senior Debbie Bratton said by fals- ing PE she hopes to gain the ability to play sports well and to lseep in shape. 20 PE And Health Coach Patty Gtimmett thought the students like team sports best because they enjoy the competi- tion. ln health a variety of suljects are studied. These include drugs, alcoe hol, suicidal attempts and types of food eaten. Junior Barry Byrd said he lilies health because the people that l-tnow their bodies will be healthier and live longer. It is a class that effects the stu- dents, Coach Viclsi Nelms, health instructor, said. She added, There is no special reason I teach health. lt is a field that is always changing and the field is relevant to what is going on. So, with health and PE in their day's schedule, students Cand even teachersl will lead healthier lives, - Michelle Holder

CPhoto by Christie Vala- dezb Contests Involve Work very year students and facul- ty participate in the University interscholastic League CUILD contest. This involves extra study- ing and practice, an average of six-seven hours per week, on the part of the competitors and spon- sors, To determine who competes, Mrs. Alta Lynch, ready writing coach, said, The participants write an essay just as they will in contest, under the some condi- tions their essays are judged by three teachers and ranked, the best essays receive a one. Using these critiques, I determine the three who will compete at the district meet. An alternate is also chosen. In other contests students who are in clubs can participate or try out. Practice is important to the competitors. Any industrial arts stu- dent may enter the Industrial Bowl contest, Dewey Farley said. All club members can go. These stu- dents take written exams and they take prqects they've made in class. The top three go on to state competition. Junior Michael Long said, l want to be a journalism mqor in college and these contests teach me to be creative. There are different ways to judge the contests. In Distributive Education, Jim Rosson said the contests are judged by business people in the students' areas of employment. Snyder students were successful in their UIL attempts as Snyder won the district meet with 148 points. This was the first time since '77 that Snyder had won the meet. Points were distributed as follows: first place winners earned 15 points each, second, 10, and third, five. Schools and their point totals were Snyder, 148, Andrews, 115, Monahans, 107, San Angelo Lake View, 102, Pecos, 60, Fort Stock- ton, 58, Sweetwater, 48, and La- mesa, 25. - Delores Sosa Contests osog saiojeg Aq sa6od .5 -O
