New classes offer variety Adding a few leisurely classeswas one way how Tokay's Physical Education program tried to expand its variety. We thought it would be great to participate in more leisurely classes, said Anne Braden, Physi- cal Education Department chairperson. Since the addition of the new classes the enrollment of upperclassmen to the P.E. Depart- ment went up since the requirement was two years of physical education. The department added an advanced weight training class, two bowling classes, and three racquetball classes for upperclassmen to its curricu- lum. The bowling and raquetball class students had to provide their own transportation and had to pay a fee to enroll for the class, according to Mrs. Braden. The bowling class was Si a day and the raquetball class was S10 a quarter. Kids were interested even though it was a fee class, said Mrs. Braden. Kids are willing to pay for classes they like, she said. According to Mrs. Braden the new program was an experiment. We tried to spread the leisure classes out so we had an alternative for most every period, Mrs. Braden said. After taking a survey given to students on how the the Physical Education Department rated among students, 60 percent of the students rated the program good to excellent, 12 percent rated fair, three percent rated poor and 25 percent were undecided. And of the students surveyed, 70 percent of them were enrolled in a P.E. class. According to Mrs. Braden Tokay's Physical Edcation department was one of the best programs by giving student teachers a chance to gain experience in teaching Physical Education. Our program offered student teachers a good chance to gain the teaching experience they need. by Darrin Hughes photos by Leroy Lambert 4.

Pupils travel for education For the third consecutive year Tokay students were able to study government activity first hand on a one-week trip to Washington DG Close-Up, a non-profit organization was a pro- gram designed to develop interests in government activity. lt united high school students from all parts of the country to get a glimpse of the government at work. A Close-Up Club was formed on Tokay campus to assist students with raising funds for their trip. According to Larry Godfrey, Social Science teacher, students did a number of activities during the one week stay. Students toured the capitol, attended meetings with congressmen, and watched congress in session. Students were also given free time in which they went shopping or went around the capitol, said lVlr. Godfrey. According to Mr. Godfrey, eligibility was not based on grades. Students who signed up and could afford it, were allowed to go. The trip cost students S888 to go. For those students who could not afford it, a fellowship program was devised noted Mr. Godfrey. lt helped students with low family income get 60 percent of their trip paid. Together with the many other high schools students, Tokay students were invited to a banquet and dance on the last day of their week long trip. Darlene Martin photos by Gregory Cooper 4.
