Summer I Q Required Academic -L XJ Required Getting to the CORE of fitness Whether swimming several laps around the pool, pounding a weather beaten track, or practicing strenuous respirational techniques, many students enjoyed participating in the health and physical fitness scene. “In later life, you can tell the people who only take the required physical education class, so I try to get the students to enjoy it enough to take some of the electives,” commented Mr. Robert Hoffman, physical education teacher. By taking the required gym class, students improved their physical appearance. They also appreciated the gift of good health by gaining more knowledge about it through the required health and safety class. “Without your health you have nothing,” stated Mr. Donald Kassen, health and safety instructor. A survey of the health and safety classes revealed that approximately one half of the students were retaking the class. Mr. Kassen explained why so many failed to pass at the junior high level. “I feel that possibly there was a breakdown between the teacher and students,” he said. When asked how he compensates for this, he replied, “I try to make the students feel like human beings and treat them the way I would want to be treated.” “I feel that everyone should be physically fit because you feel much better. As for jogging, you can help your heart and cut down on weight. Some people say that you will live longer,” commented junior Fritz Hugus. Although this is only one student’s view of physical education some students continue to feel it is a waste of time even though it is a state requirement for graduation.
