CO CO CO Q o With cries of Do we have to take showers? sounding throughout the locker room, another year of phys. ed. begins. Physical education involves many different types of activities including beginning gymnastics, volleyball, basketball, softball, football, and golf, to name just a few. Junior high students are required to take twelve weeks of phys. ed., while freshmen and sophomores take one semester each year. Physical education is also offered each summer and many students taking driver’s education take it then also. The summer phys. ed. course is truly a co-ed class with the boys and girls participating together. Physical education is like its name says—education of your physical body. Our phys. ed courses give each one of us a sample of various ac- tivities and sports we will participate in for the rest of our lives. It also helps to strengthen our bodies which in turn helps us to become more mentally aware. And by the way—“Yes, you do HAVE to take a shower! Classmates “spot Becky Dixon as she practices on the balance beam. 12 Phys. Ed. Classes

On Saturday, October 4, 1975, at 7:00 p.m. the Grand Prix bicycle race was held. In the chilly fall air, the 60-lap race took over an hour to complete. The money-making project was sponsored by the National Honor Society, and although a few wrecks did occur, all of them were minor. Scott Hime, the commentator, kept the audience informed as was necessary, as the FFA team lost only by one-half lap to the Cross Country team. Of course, everyone shall remember the 56th lap when Kenny Marshall rode with no hands, and the 60th lap when Jeff Layton drank a Coke as he finished the race. Also to be remembered is that the expected winner, the Lettermen's Club, was dis- qualified due to unsportsmanlike conduct. Much time, effort, and planning by the National Honor Society made possible our first N.H.S. 15-mile Grand Prix bicycle race as a new tradition at South.
