Business I wish more students would take advantage of our offerings, stated Mrs. Valdez. There have been a lot of changes in the business depart- ment this year. They have already received a full room of electric typewriters, and were expecting a microcomputer. Along with these changes there were two new teachers. Louanne Hume has replaced Becky Moens, and Warren Ess- ing was teaching C.E.TA., which is a government spon- sored, on-the-job training program. Mrs. Valdez, chairwoman ot the business department, commented, l wish more students would take advantage of our fthe business departmenfsj offerings, so that they would be prepared for the future. -Robin Cook Science The classes are overcrowded and we are doing the best we can, said Mr. Hannon. Starting the year off with earth science, a freshman course, was the challenge facing Mr. Parks. New also to the department was Patricia Raves, biology teacher, in room 121. Along with the additions to the curriculum and the staff, Mr. Hannon, head of Pueblo's science department stated, The classes are overcrowded and we are doing the best we can.

Home Economics Home Economics was where Child Development, Year of the Child, food and nutrition and clothing classes were held. These classes helped students to become better family members now and also helped them prepare for their future. Students were welcome to enroll in these classes throughout the year. Students who were interested could continue to the advanced level classes in these areas. Mrs. Warner was a new teacher who came from the Uni- versity of California. One of Mrs. Warner's hobbies was sew- ing as well as her teaching assignments. When asked how she felt about her child development class, Flobin Blake, stated, It was interesting as well as educational. -Diane Fimbres lt was interesting as well as educa- tional being involved in child develop- ment class, com mented Robin Blake, freshman. Sam Valdovin English This year the English department added an advanced bilin- gual English class. Although they have not received any new scholastic materials, the students seemed to be doing quite well. Reading and writing skills were part of the student's daily work. New teachers to the department were Mrs. Becky Jones, Mr. Calvin Montgomery and Mrs. Gloris Paluch. They taught in title I and English as a second language class. Sen- ior English teachers helped students prepare for the S.A.T. exams required for college entrance. Most students seemed comfortable, if not enthusiastic, with the program, stated Mr. Helm. English classes occasionally had a chance to see literature come alive in Mr. Caslow's drama classes. Jose Gandara, a junior in Mr. Pineger's English class, found the book Red Sky at Morning uninteresting perhaps gecause it wasn't presented as a school play.-Diane Fim- res 141 Ai
