As a welcomed relaxation during a long day, each student encounters activities such as volleyball, basket- ball, soccer, track, weight lifting, or dancing in daily physical education. P.E. provides not only a break from the normal classroom routine, but also improves the physical fit- ness of students. In addition to the regular gym class activities, a few new classes were added: Adapted P.E. for students who are not able to participate in active sportsg and aer- obic and jazzercise dance. Other new additions to this year's program in- cluded the teaching skills of Mrs. Lydia Coatar and Mr. Michael Me- cozzi. Sophomores find Drivers' Educa- tion to be an exciting portion of the P.E. program. This experience pro- vides new opportunities involving classroom, simulation and behind the wheel training to supply basic techniques. Department chairman, Mr. Rich- ard Tesar, commented that this year brought with it full use of the south fieldhouse and new track, a much needed expansion of P.E. facilities.
