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

Running beats stuffing by Cozetta Rassi How many people can say that they have rollerskated at school? This year ' s freshman class can say it has. Roller skating is the only new activity in physical education, but there was another signifi- cant change. Instructors now have their own class that they are in charge of, instead of many in- structors in charge of one large class. The one large class was divided into three separate classes with three separate in- structors. There was only one main goal of the department. The in- structors wanted to get their students to work together as a group and build a better rap- port of themselves. During a tumbling exercise, Thad Hold- en helps Jeff Iwema with balancing, (by Snyder) Some students were not convinced physical education was necessary. I don ' t like to be forced into doing physical activity, but it ' s better than sitting at home stuffing your face, said Mindy Altenhof, freshman. I don ' t think we should be made to run laps like we do be- cause some people can ' t keep up. I don ' t like having grades based on that, said Mary Ro- dabaugh, freshman. Another freshman didn ' t like the running either. Nothing but soreness and hard legs come from running so much, said Marie Net- trouer.
