Coed Classes Make Games More Fun hat is fun and keeps students healthy? It's the gym class that students took every day for a semester. Even though it was 1 fun, this year there was a difference. This difference was the ; fact that SCHS gym classes were now coed. Several students felt that this heightened the competition and made the games more fun. The classes learned the importance of exercise through the workout done in class before any game was played. When the weather was warm, students could be found playing flag football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, and softball. As the weather turned colder, students stayed in the gym and played basketball, volleyball, team handball, and wifiie bail. Gym classes also took place at the YMCA, Walnut Bowl, and Jenny Lind park. Another difference was the coach. Her name was Mary Martin and she did her best to present new and interesting games to the students. 1i Golfing at Jenny Lind Park, Louis Garcia and Mike Kovak practice their swing. 2i Andrea Ecklund and Julie Atwell practice some meth- ods of self-defense taught in their ?.E. class. 5i Missy Tasset is extremely happy after getting a strike at the Walnut Bowl where she went bowling with her ?.E. class. in Laura Gray lifts i , weights in the weight room to build the muscles , in her arms for basketball.

Off Campus Academics Different Kinds of Scholars he striving for excellence in academics this year continued not only on the SCHS campus. SCI-IS students could be found taking courses at Cirafic Vocational Technical School and at Southwest Missouri State University. Every year, so many students from SCHS attend Vo-Tech. They can take classes ranging from Art to Computers to Automotive to Floral Design. These students do very well at Vo-Tech and often go on to college or to Ciraff Vo-Tech College. There were also those students who attended SMSU. The students from SCHS were allowed to take one course at SMSU a semester providing that they held a certain grade point average. These students were allowed to choose any course they wished to take, however they usually took basic courses so they could get their requirements out of the way. Some of the students, such as Shannon Jackson, enjoyed college so much that they carried their learning on into the summer. i111 7y w w 1i Senior Bill Jones seems intent on making a certain piece fit into a certain spot. 2i SMSU students David, Shannon, and Denny take time out from classes for a quick picture. 5i Gather- ing in front of the fountains, Shannon, David, and Denny share a laugh. 4i Junior Andrew Golden works furiously to understand the electronic process.
