Below: Visitors to Mr. Spoils' foreign language classes are confronted by strange sounding words. Espanol? Franqais? Mr. Spotts is an excellent teacher! In French we don’t just learn to speak French, we talk about French customs and the cul- ture. Mr. Spotts spent a year or so in Belgium and he knows a lot about their language and way of life,” said Ginger Boiler. Rita Westmoreland added, He asks for our opinion on different subjects and we learn about the Spanish speaking cultures. He also encourages us to continue studies in Spanish.” This year the members of the Spanish Club invited other people to their dinner. Ten people attended the meal. It included paella, nachos with cheese and fruit punch. It was successful through the efforts of many students. Imogene Shepard long. Arts; Job Training; Job Orientation; M.S.

Extended Service What gets a school started? Let's see! A building, teachers, and, of course, money. That was pretty easy. Now, what keeps it going? Not quite as easy, is it? There’s so many things that needed to be done. Paper work, lunches had to be pre- pared, and that ever prevalent task of maintenance. Who then, one asks, supplied the manpower for these tasks? It was the group who formed our staff. Despite their almost constant presence at school, most people didn’t get a chance to really know them. They did most of their work after school or during class-hours when students were out of the way. Unlike teachers, some staff members didn’t have the intimate contact with students. There were those who worked in the office duplicating materials for teachers, typing let- ters, sometimes letters of suspension, keeping the books, and selling various tickets, to dances and other activities. Perhaps even more important to students were those staff members who came at 6:00 a.m. to begin prepara- tion for what students longed for fourth hour each day — lunch. This often proved to be the highlight of the day for some. Jim Kamltr finds class bnaks the best time to swap the halls. 22 Staff
