HOME 31 ■ i iimihiwiimwi EE. a ' ' happening » r ■ i hrough most of the school day, wo ™ have to keep our noses in our books and our minds on numbers and words. The physical education department offers a relief from the school day. Our gym classes allow us to relax our brains by doing physical work. They relieve the pressures of the day and are beneficial because of the simple fact that they are good for our health. Because the school system wants to intro- duce different physical activities to its stu- dents, one year of gym class is required for graduation. Most students get this require- ment out of the way during their freshman year, but for people who want to take more gym classes there is a full schedule of ad- vanced gym classes. The second year teaches the students about team sports. The third year is geared toward physical activities such as weight-lifting and gymnastics. The final year is directed toward individual sports such as golf and tennis. But the physical education department is not all running and playing basketball. It does have its share of brainwork. One semes- ter of health is required for graduation. Most people may think that the reason for this re- quirement is to learn about the body and how its organs work, but department head Jim Stutz said that health class basically tries to promote good hygiene. Also, Mr. Arvin teaches a class called drug education. This class helps students learn more about drugs and the effects they have on the body. Driver education is unique and complete- ly different from other classes because it is a happening and a complete teenage ex- perience. No teenager can go through high school and not hear the story about the girl who thought the P on the gearshift stood for Pass. Not many people know driver education is part of the physical education department, but if they did they might say it was their favorite physical education class.
