P.E. offered the chance to participate in and enjoy sports without having to compete. As well as the seasonal sports, the P.E. department did physical fitness tests, weight training, and speedball.

Driver's ed offered through Clark cost 8113.50 in comparison to B S B Driving School, where it cost 3140, or the Jewish Community Center, where it is 5135. At Clark, the teacher went more into depth and spent more time preparing the student for real driving. Lisa Scott ' 4.s7'1..... '.

Kristi Webb I think that the senior class is more united and spirited than it ever has been and truly is THE class. Ellen Warrwick Senior Our class is highly competitive both academically and athleti- cally, which shows our ambition. lt consists of people who have the qualities to be the future lead- ers of our society.

We are a strong class as far as sports and academics and by being united we can make Clark the best in '85. Jim Burchett Freshman CI 169
