Length of school day, credits to graduate Alter VHS tradition W ith all of the changes that have taken place within Valparaiso High School and the community, no other area was more affected than that of academics. The changes that occurred within the academics area were the base of all the other transi- tions at VHS. As far as breaking traditions, no oth- er change will affect every student more than the length of the school day, which happened to be extended by 30 minutes for the 1985-86 school year. To account for this extra time, a seventh class will be added, and school will begin at 7:30 a.m. Graduation requirements will be raised for future classes at VHS. While the number of credits required for graduation used to be 32 and raised to 35 for the Class of ' 85, students graduating in 1989 must receive 38 credits to graduate. Because of new transitions that will take place in the future, students be- gan to realize that old traditions will be a thing of the past and that This Is lr - Paul Jankowski ONE OF MANY college prep courses.

DURING VOLLEYBALL MR. MARK HOFFMAN CLASS junior Bonnie looks on while Kelli Shoffner jumps up fo Stowers uses the kick- block the spike by senior boord fo leorn the free- Scott Anselm. style kick. 28 choices: Most people think only of colisthenics when physical edu- cation is mentioned, but the VHS curricu- lum includes o wide variety of recrea- tional activities as well as fitness classes. Skiing, swim- ming, basketball, co-ed and non co-ed classes at VHS are classes offered through the phys- ical education de- partment. A variety of classes is offered to try and please all students. Every student was given the op- portunity to sign up for nine week classes in the order of their interests at the beginning of the semester, with the exception of the swimming class, ex- plained Miss Nancy Walsh, Physical Edu- cation Chairperson. Classes were di- vided into five cate- gories: individual sports, team sports. Students are given recreational variety rhythmics, condi- tioning, and gym- nastics, said Miss Walsh. She added that the department tries to keep up with the current in- terests of the stu- dents when decid- ing what classes to offer. This year a cross- country skiing class was added on an experimental basis. Made possible by the Valparaiso Park System, it began second semester and lasted for three and a half weeks. Life-time and lei- sure-time sports are the objectives the physical education department geared its curriculum around this year, ac- cording to Miss Walsh. The outcome we are anticipating is for the students to achieve the knowl- edge and skills nec- essary to maintain and enjoy a phys- ically active life style throughout their entire life span. Helping to build the strongest possible foundation for a life-time of physical activity is the philosophy of the department put together by the physical education teachers,” she ad- ded. — Marilyn Burton 30 Physical Education
