s4 Step Sac 7cme Should I pick A or B, what’s the fifteenth ammend-ment? This is what goes through a nervous student’s head who is trying to pass the U.S. Constitution test in Government class. Doing worksheets, taking plenty of notes, and listening to American History teacher Kent Lefever say, “Quiet down PLEASE”, are all things to remember about History classes. “I really enjoy history classes because I’m interested in things like World War I and II and the Vietnam War”, said Junior Eric Zoch. “I also enjoy Mr. Lefever’s sense of humor during class, it really makes class more interesting and makes it go quicker”, stated Zoch.

“The Science Department here is very interesting. In Chemistry I, we do a lot of experiments, which means getting out of doing classwork,” commented sophomore Kathy Hensley, daughter of science teacher Thomas Hensley. Many students feel they learn as much if not more in science than in other classes. “Biology is a fun class. I would have to say that disecting frogs was the best part, though,” stated Eric Jarboe, a sophomore. “Mr. Hensley is a really good teacher; he knows what he’s doing,” he added. Not only do science and math students learn about “school stuff,” but also about life and their future. That is something that the students, faculty and administration can be proud of: “Taking it to the Limits.” Upper Left: Senior Sandy Woolley, Chemistry II student, impatiently waits for her gelatin solution to corode for her peanut-brittle experiment before Christmas vacation.

Above:Sophomores Steve Thompson, Eric Jarboe, and Laura Fuson try to get out of proofs by laughing at Mr. Wingle’s jokes. 11

fyour t — Sit up straight, don’t look at your keys, these are just a few things you hear in Keyboarding classes. Striving for perfection and doing your best is what Business Education teacher Merle Taylor expects. Syntax errors and out of data errors were unheard of a few years ago, but now are common occur-ances in Data Processing classes. “I really enjoy working with computers and love the challenge of working out the programs”, said Advanced Data Processing student Jon Lewis. Accounting class seems to be on a upswing also. “Most people in Accounting want to be there, so it is an enjoyable class to teach, time consuming for the student but rewarding when they finish their projects”, stated Taylor.
