It's Not Greek to Me.' Hablo Espanol? Parlez-vous francais A foreign language was one of the most rewarding classes that you could take at Smoky Hill. In most colleges a foreign language was required just to be accepted. Smoky Hill offered Spanish, French, Latin and German to the students. In the department the teachers taught not only the language but the cultures of each country. They did this by taking numerous field trips. Shannon Green, a foreign language student, said although the class taught her more about the language itself, she learned a lot from the field trips because it helped her relate the language to the real world. Linda Fowler, one of the department's - Latin teachers, said she liked the new addition because of better classrooms and office space and also that they gained a new kitchen for foreign food demonstrations. The kitchen and foreign language labs were just two tactics of the department used for easier and better understanding of the language. Mrs. Thompson listens to the students speak in the foreign language lab. Mr. Nettleton lectures to his Mods 13-14 French class Students study Spanish in the lab. Foreign Language 119

' Business Department Prepares For Future Classes Keep Students More Than 'Busy' Our Business Department had something for everyone. Things like Money Management to Typing 1A, there was a place for everybody. Business is very important in our daily lives. Balancing your check book, doing your income tax, or buying a new house or car you must have some knowledge of business. If you'd like to be a secretary or just work like one, the business machine class was the one to take. This class had machines from word processors to the ten key calculator. Business Machines classes were not the only classes that offered a lot. There were classes such as Short- hand, Accounting and Business English. Smoky Hill's Business Department had classes which helped students prepare for jobs and college. ,,.. 'il gf' .1 C -+ fe 2-fl ung ' 2 ' f T i ' T .

Mr Kittle directs a voice class. Members of the Jazz Band display their talents. Fine Tuned The Fine Arts Department got bigger and better this year. The band traveled to California to attend the Hollywood Christmas Parade while the drama students stayed home and performed successful productions including its first Smoky Hill Dinner Theater. In addition to this, the chorus traveled to various places in the city with perfor- mances. Togetherness is a large aspect of this program. We are like a family, we work together and we strive for the same goals, stated a band member. 120 Fine Arts
