HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION The department goals in the area of health are to develop fundamental skills essential to personal fulfillment such as: reading, thinking logically critically, and communicating effectively. Throughout the four years of Health Education we have tried to input values, interests, and habits, which are founded upon sound ethics, spiritual and moral concepts. We also want each student to develop skills that will help recognize problems and the possible wise solution. In Physical Education classes the goal is to give the greatest possible development to a pupil's physical powers, habits and character. In accomplishing this goal the department will exercise initiative, ingenuity and creativity. The Physical Education Department tries to develop an awareness and a set of experiences, which will promote characteristics of good sportsmanship, honesty and cooperation. Last, but not least, we try to provide a variety of seasoned and life-long activities that will contribute to the way of living. y lritrr ].'urr„utfl 16

SOCIAL STUDIES Congratulations and best wishes to the class of 1988. The Social Studies Department sincerely hopes that you are ready to assume your role in society. Many of you took advantage of the opportunity that was afforded you and are registered voters. Be ready to cast your ballot for those persons that you believe in. It is only a fool who feels helpless and refuses to work for change. Use the knowledge that you learned in your classes. Be proud of the fact that you are a citizen of the greatest country on the face of the earth. You are limited only by the size of your dreams. Today's dreams can become tomorrow's reality if you are willing to pursue them. Martin Luther King. Jr. had a dream about a world filled with love and human dignity. What's yours? God Bless! la erir tlorj . J rauf
