Hands and minds apply concepts bv Jenny Drolet Darn those keys! Not an- other timed-writing exercise! Dealing with these and other frustrations go along with tak- ing a business course at Go- shen High School. It ' s not all frustration, though. Valuable business skills can be learned from classes like typing, accounting. Office Machines, General Business, Business Law, and Office Ex- perience Lab. I took typing because it will help save time doing papers in college, Chris Wertz, sopho- more, said. Unlike business, which deals with items in a mechanical sense, social studies involves studying ideas and concepts that lead to a better under- standing of global policies. The student put these ideas into practice by experiencing different aspects of the world around them. Senior psychology classes visited the Fort Wayne Devel- opmental Center, a place for the developmentally disabled. Freshman Citizenship classes held a mock trial and visited the Elkart County Court House. Senior Civics classes had guest speakers, including May- or Max Chidister supporting his anti-cruising stance. Mr. Rick Clark, psychology and sociology teacher, said, Our goal is to make students more aware of their roles as citizens in the community, in a Democracy, and in our world. r26 n Business Social Studies Peering in one of the rooms at the Fort Wayne Developmental Center, Cindy Wilkins and Cammi Kreager try to learn more about the mentally retarded, (by Whittern) 1 Participating in the computer age, Lesa Doing the adding machine boogie, E Charles works the keyboard, (by McDaniel punches the keys, (by Weld Weldy) ■ Ei d fli r ' ' mnv « Hk m jsi si K K KKKK m K 3| H||g«| W jH IKf jfrnl Kjk ' 1 P ' jf( K— f J

Teaching goes beyond classroom by Stella Diaz Marine Biology once again ventured to the Florida Keys over Spring Break to study ocean life in detail. But before busing it to Flor- ida, requirements needed for the class were three to four Saturday morning classes, group presentations, and snorkling practice done in the high school pool. I choose the class because I have been interested in sci- ence, played volleyball, laid out in the sun and different things. The work was easy. I liked the trip because I made new friends. I would recommend this class to anyone who has the slightest interest in sci- ence, said Carrie Grise, sen- ior. Other classes besides Marine Biology kept student interest, liked my science (physics) Doing laundry is not as fun as snorkling, but a necessity, (by Mark Miller) Florida sun shines strong class because it ' s fun, said En- rique Vazquez, senior. A dedicated teacher decided to try to go beyond the class- room experience. Going out and beyond sci- ence, Mr. Bill Tichenor applied for the teacher in space pro- gram. He was encouraged by his interests which included flying, science, and space. This year was unique for a couple of reasons. I applied and went to a convention for the program. Also, there has been more interest in Challenger this year than past years. Stu- dents wanted to learn and find out more about Challenger, said Tichenor. Others settled for the enjoyment of their class with Mr. Elmer Bowers. I like science (chemistry) because I think it ' s fun and interesting, said Al- len Ewing, senior, (by Stella Diaz) Keeping track of certain Marine Life is a challenge, (by Mark Miller) Chris Fisel, Liz Mays, and Tiffiny Baker take Biology 1 to the heart of the mat- ter, the frog matter, that is.
