The ninth grade physical education class was required to take a three week cardiopulmonary resuscitation course. Over those three weeks students were taught one man CPR for adult and in- fant, and the procedure used to help a choking victim. Near the end of the course students took a practical exam and were asked questions about what to do if certain changes occurred; if the students were able to do this they passed the course. The mathematics department came out on top last year with two wins in area competition. At the James Madi- son University Math Competition, the SDHS team of Bobby Calder, Jay Bur- ton, and Eric Oiesen brought back a first, fifth, and fourteenth place from among 36 students from |I2 high schools. Adam Funk also brought back a first place from a competition at Blue Ridge Community College. In the class- room students were busy trying to un- derstand algebra and geometry, a world of proofs and equations. Disecting was the word in the science department. From Mr. Patterson to Mr. Cline to Doc Miller students were kept busy with labs. In earth science and bi- ology frogs and pigs were found being explored by the students. Doc went a few steps further with his disecting and presented the students with the mystery of the atom. From phys. ed. to math to science stu- dents kept busy with the challenges of life. by Mary Dean Math, science and phys. ed. 13

Accord- ing to Mrs. Banks, chairperson of the history department, she saw a lot of change in her students this year than those from other years. “The students appear to be taking a greater interest in their studies and current events,” she told us. Many of them are achiev- ing academic excellence, and she be- lieves that the greater interest in their studies played an important role. Since this past yea r was the year of the presidential election, we had a mock election of our own. Many students had no qualms over splitting tickets and | had questions about the ethics of poli- tics and political campaigns. There was.
