The Key to the Future French is rather hard to interpret. Otherwise it's a beautiful language and it's fun to learn, said Dee Dee Green. 1 frances y el espanol vieven a Oak Grove fFrench and Spanish come to Oak Grovel. With the increasing numbers of foreigners in our country, it has become more important for Americans to speak a foreign language. With the changed state requirements, students were now required to have two foreign language credits in order to graduate. . One way that seventh graders learned their new vocabulary was by forming a human train which then followed certain commands. This allows them to use excess energy in learning commands such as right and left, fast and slow, said lim Brown, the French and German teacher. The stu- dents also took time out on dreary days to sing French songs. Seventh graders learned at a slower level, but they gave more according to Mr. Brown. Oak Grove offered,French and Spanish to the seventh graders for the first time. Mr. Brown also said, l'The seventh graders are very enthusiastic and eager to learn. I was told to dread them, but I found the opposite instead, I love them. Mrs. Evan's Spanish class encouraged sixth graders to take Spanish as a challenge in the right direction. There are so many Spanish people that come into the United States that it would be nice to know Spanish so that you can communicate with others, said seventh grader Rachel Fitzpatrick. 2 Academics With only a few minutes left in class Mrs. Evans explains the homework trying to keep it short and sweet.

Straight Lines Hopefully drafting students will realize the value that a course of this type offers them. They may go into the working world, a vocational field, or to college. said Mr. Ben McCulloch, Instructor. articipation in drafting classes often was preparation for the futures of people en- rolled in the class. The class taught peo- ple to draw using basic equipment and precise measurements. Chad Moseley said, I took draft- ing because I plan to use it in my career as an architect. If it weren't for drafting, we would have nothing: everything must be drawn up before it can be manufactured. Todd Langley said, I took drafting at first because I wanted to learn some new skills, and it turned out to be the career I wanted to follow when I graduate. The students also learned the value of competi- tion when they competed on a state level. Most all who entered won awards. Todd Langley won a certificate for a superior drawing while Eddie Goines, Terry Kirby, Tony Underwood, Thomas Sponer, Tim Skinner, and Iamie Wheat won certi- ficates of excellence. The rating of good went to Thomas Sponer, Mark Moix, Iohn Erwin, Tim Weatherly, Ron Britton, and Ricky Cloe. Recogni- tion was also given to Ron Britton and Tim Skinner. The conversion of inches to scale measurements takes concentration from Greg lackson as he draws a truck for his ad- vanced design class. 5 M ACGdel'TllCS
