In A Different World Students Speak A Strange Tongue Foreign languages were popular choices to fulfill students elec- tives. Spanish is a widely-spoken lan- guage around the worldg therefore, many students elect- ed Spanish as a course. This foreign language has had a high number of stu- dents pass Advanced Placement Tests for college, saving many students precious time and money, which is one of its val- ues to students. Some freshmen took this course as an opportunity to broad- en their horizons be- cause it gave them a chance to be able to get jobs with a Span- ish language back- ground. French pro- vided a chance for students to learn all about the French peo- ple and their litera- ture. German had many students en- rolled because it gave the students a chance to compare German and English words. Latin students en- joyed their new lan- guage because they discovered the lan- guage which has roots extending to a variety of languages. Students enrolled in these courses, en- joyed them and learned valuable skills. Learning is a self-fulfilling prophecy, according to Mrs. Pompa. tm, ..., . Milf!

Direction for the smooth functioning of a school must start at the top. As in most schools, direction for Tempe schools was set at the District Administrative level, including the Govern- ing Board and Superinten- dents. The district had . three main goals, starting with the completion of a comprehensive curriculum Below left: Mr. Victor Sanchez, Dr. Bill Fitzgerald, Mr. Bill Vanny.

Mr. Bob Diaz Outside Class, Teachers Pursue Cwn Interests Many teachers didn't spend weekends and holidays just grading papers. instead, some teachers found time to do things for enjoyment and relaxation. Finding time for hobbies was not an easy task, so teachers tried to fit their extracurricular activi- ties in before or after school and on weekends. For example, Mrs. Phifer found time for golf by coaching a girl's golf team at McClintock, while her tennis game was usually re- served for weekends. How- ever, not all hobbies in- volved going out to find a court or course on which to play. Mr. Geraghty, an avid baseball fan, collected famous baseball cards and balls. Ms. Mize was fond of competing in triatholonsg the training was extremely time consuming, so it was difficult to find time to stay in shape, but she was de- termined. Mr. Draper en- joyed the great outdoors and whenever possible, tried to get out with his fam- ily to backpack and camp. Overall, the biggest prob- lem with pursuing a hobby was finding time to fit it in with a busy teaching schedule. Faculty - 181
