In previous years, lifetime sports was the only coeducational course. All classes this year, with the exception of contact sports, were coeducational as the new phase in physical education classes became more widespread. Driver and traffic safety was added to replace driver,s education. This class, a sophomore elective, was a full credit course. Health, which was a part of driver's education class, was taught on the freshman level. The health classes were introduced to Cardio Pulmonary Resuscita- tion tCPRi by two Red Cross volunteers. CPR is performed when there is insuffi- cient breathing or the breathing has stopped. Students worked for three weeks before being tested, both written and practical, by themselves and with another person. Mrs. Virginia McCormick works diligently to finish a load of towels used by the physical education classes.
