FUREIGN LANGUAGE KAREN RENNAT PATRICIA SERRANO JULIE VEDVIK CHLOE WOLF A Different Language The foreign language department here at Poudre High School is doing better than ever this year. More and more students seem to be entering the worlds of foreign cultures. The stu- dents have a variety of classes to choose from, which makes taking a foreign language class more enjoy- able.

The foreign language classes offered here this year are, Latin, Spanish, French and German. These classes are offered at levels one, two, three, and four, so you will be able to find a level that is for you. Each of these classes offere a number of cultural exper- iences, such as learning about differ- ent countries, the people who live in them, and all the different cultures and traditions that foreigners have. Why do people take a foreign lan- guage class? Is it only for the credits, or is it to learn to speak a different language, to be able to have a conver- sation in more than one language. Taking a foreign language class here at Poudre offers more than just learn- ing the language. It getting involved with different countries and their li- festyles. The classes offers various cul- ture events, such as trips to Mexico, France and Germany. Everyone is en- couraged to take a foreign language class here at Poudre.

Home Economics Department MS. KATIE PHEMISTER MRS. CATHY TOPLYN i Get Cookin'! What do you think of when someone says the words Home Economics? Cooking? You're partly right. How- ever, the Home Economics Depart- ment embodies much more. Classes taught include Creative Gour- met Cooking, Bachelor and Bachelor- ette Survival, Foods and Nutrition, Parenting, Housing and Interior De- sign, Sewing for Fun and Fashion, HEO I and HEO Il. The classes help develop skills for successful living in the home as well as other home eco- nomics related occupations. The two teachers in the department, Mrs. Toplyn and Ms. Phemister, have a great deal of responsibility and dedi- cation. When asked the philosophy by which she teaches, Mrs. Toplyn thoughtfully replied that it was to create a learning environment for students and try to give the students as much information as possible that will apply to the real world . The teachers accomplished the positive learning environment by the use of teaching methods such as videos, lec- tures, guest speakers from the commu- nity, and current events issues. Mrs. Toplyn feels that her students are very important people. The department has several unique programs. HEO is one such program. Students take a class called HEO - Home Economics Related Occupa- tions, that prepares them for HERO - Home Economics Related Occupa- tions, a club that places the student in a wage-earning job in the community that involves home economics. FHA - Future Homemakers of America is also a club in the department open to any student in home economics. The Home Economics Department involves many of the aspects of the home. Home Economics is an interest- ing field that requires many skills - more than just kitchen oriented ones. paul sinus 1 1 if-..'z Fawn Nelson Ms Toplyn told you that you cant put that much corn starch ln the cookies' V ,f ' I 1 .
