Coach Rose said that the To- Ey physical education depart- tent was ranked No. l in North- lfn California and was improv- ig. During the summer before hool started, 55,000 worth of w equipment was purchased mr the department. The items vere: interlocking flooring, un- reakable mirrors, a new radio system, sheet rocking for the entire building,q a new military press was purchased along with a curl bench and a free bench press and a calf machine. Students were slowly becom- ing more health conscious, said Coach Rose, they realize that they don't have to go to health clubs when they have the equip- ment right here. A few of the biggest changes in the department included adding a wide variety of sports for juniors and seniors and allowing sopho- mores to choose an elective twice a year. Racquetball, golf, and bowling were some of the new activities that were tried. The sophomores had a chance to choose their own elective two times and unlike the basic activities the new one created enrollment and interest, said Coach Rose. According to Coach Rose the department hoped to purchase another 53,000 worth of equip- ment. by Kuldip Kaur Photos by ALisa Stone Physical Education 93

ests improve fitness Although Anne Braden, Phys- ical Education department chair- person, didn't think that students were health conscious, she did know that the department tried its hardest to educate them. l have a feeling that students don't realize how important health was to them, said Mrs. Braden. Health wasn't a priority for them. According to Mrs. Braden, statistics proved that today's youth were Lacking and lag- ging and the number of obese children was increasing. The statistics were what brought on a new physical fitness test. Testing included sit-ups, pull-ups, a flexibility test, mea- surement of body fat, and a one-mile run. Unlike the six-minute run in which the students ran as far as they could during the time dura- tion given, the new test timed how long it took each student to run the required distance, All scores taken and computed were sent to the state officials to be published during the summer with other school test results. The results would return the following year for comparison. There was a correlation bet- ween mental and physical health. lf a student's fit, hefshe was more liable to do better in his! her academics, said Mrs. Bra- den. by Kuldip Kaur I.
