 One and one we're having some fun ... One can read this in Eng- lish, and one had better be able to add this, but how many people could read or write this in Spanish? And it certainly has nothing to do with sci- ence, unless you know the rest of the song. The West Wing of the building houses three math classrooms, the Physical Science and Photography room, and the only Spanish area in the building. Now that high school has been reached, students are challenged with letters instead of numbers in problems that are called sentences. Why has math become so complicat- ed? One reason is that the times are changing and 2 12 just doesn't hack it in today's world. For the class of 1990, three years of math are re- quired. Business Math is taught by Mr. Dave Cypher and Ms. Cynthia Ward Besides going over basic math, students also have to keep all their old assignments and tests in a notebook. Mr. Cypher also teaches Algebra I with the help of Mr. Bob Wolf who also teaches Geometry to sophomores and juniors. This year, as before, students must turn in a Ge- ometry notebook at the end of every quarter. For the ambitious juniors and sen- iors who have chosen to further their math knowledge, there are classes such as Advanced Math taught by Mr. John Wilkerson and Algebra II taught by Mr. Cypher. If someone prefers foreign lan- guage over math or science and wishes to stay in the same wing, they might try Spanish, taught by Mrs. Gerta Mular. The class is counted toward the Humanities requirements for college entrance. If you like for- eign language, Spanish is an inter- esting alternative for those willing to try. This year there were approxi- mately ten students in each of three classes and as of this year, students have a choiceNsjf taking four years of Spanish. To quaft{v they must com- plete the first three'years. One pro- ject the class took onNhis year was teaching Spanish to grade school students. The only science class in theSnam building is Physical Science, tauc by Mr. Scott Hill. The rest are taught in the science building across the street, next the the B.W. Lodge Gymnasium. This class is required for freshmen, unless one failed it. The only other class in this wing is Photography, a class in which juniors and seniors interested in taking pic- tures can learn the basics of expos- ing and developing their own film. Photography is taught by Mr. Craig Johnson. This class not only takes pictures for themselves, but also for the Yearbook and Journalism classes. Layout, Reporter: Reed Peb- bles.

A little car trouble? Maybe you got a C on your report card? Your boyfriend is seeing someone else? Or maybe you just can't im- prove that bench press? So you think you have it rough? Well there are people who are less fortunate in this school, like those in the Special Resources Room, 103. These people come under much harsh criticism be- cause they are different due to dis- abilities they have no control over. One could consider these peo- ple over-achievers though, be- cause the things they do or learn don't come as easy to them as they would to the rest. This year about twenty students are receiving special help from Mr. Ross Reed and two aides, Ms. Lyla Dumke and Ms. Marty Oram. While these students are unique, the people who teach them have to be more unique than one could imagine. The students require a little more attention from their teacher, more of a one-on- one basis. The Resource Room teaches all students who have mental disabilities as well as those who are just slower learners. They are just regular kids try- ing to survive, said Mr. Reed. One may ask, well isn't that what the title programs are for? The an- swer is yes; it is just that these stu- dents are slower than the people in the title programs and they need the teacher's special atten- tion because they may not be able to concentrate with other students present. Some students who receive special attention in a particular subject may have the highest per- centage in their other classes. They may lack certain abilities that enable them to obtain a high grade in one of their classes, but in their other classes they are do- ing fine. By appealing to the students' desire for televisions and at the same time allowing tntoi to ob- serve each other's activities, Mr. Mel Rice introduced T.V O0. The Intro to Technology studei were instructed simply to report on the school's events as best they could. Along with T.V. 108 and the re- source classes, three others teach classes down senior hall. Mr. Russ Fisk spiced up World History classes with his fiery lecturing ideas. Mr. Tedd Stanisich kept seniors entertained with real-life examples, while keeping them in touch with our government sys- tem. Mr. Terry Thomas kept oth- ers interested in Business and Typing classes, while Miss Cyn- thia Ward took over instructing the fine art of speaking French. Reporters: Neil Nelson, Sam Buchanan.
