French classes in a new spark in the food depart- ment as Earl Ely admires the new French dish and tries to decide what he ' s getting himself into. Home Ec. took part in the tour of local homes. Bev Renner and Laverna Atnip examine a Hoya plant in the Stanley ' s home, one of the toured residences. Changes marked year The building was the same, the courses were the same, the schedule of events was about the same, But the people and some other things were different. There were changes in rules, the most significant being the attendance regula- tion. The new rule stated that if over 10 days were missed in any class, credit will be lost in that class, unless a doctor ' s ex- cuse was presented. This rule was intended to cut down the number of absences. Another change was the hiring of 12 new teachers. The absent teachers decided either to move on to other things, or just to places. Three newcomers took over coach- ing positions: Mr. Chuck Lori, football; Mr. Steve Brunes, basketball, and Miss Sheryl Wright, volleyball. All three also taught their respective classes. A major change was the statewide CAPPS project involving teachers, admin- istrators, parents, and community mem- bers. This program was a study to learn whether students were reaching stated academic goals. English Departments were evaluated this year in reading compo- sition, and spelling. French students David Wilson. Lynn Slusher. and Michelle Thomas further their studies by experienc- ing new tastes in French cooking. 3 Developing By Changes J

Santa, Lynn Lefevre as the jolly old man. sells Christmas wishes to raise money for the needy. Buy- ers are Evan Pethtel and Mark Lewellen. Both music and physical expression are revealed as Suing Choir members prepare their program to per- form for organizations throughout the year. Expressions of emotions Expression played an important role in Blackford this year, whether it was in school, in extra-curricular activities, or just doing nothing. Art classes expressed their feeling in paintings, drawings, or by other forms of art. Creative art allowed a better way for students to express themselves. People experienced the spirit of Christ- mas as old Santa himself made his annual appearance at BHS selling Christmas wishes. Income of $245 went to two needy families in Blackford county area in the form of gifts. Physical Education brought strained ex- pressions to kids while running their one- mile, and relief when the exercising was over. A Karate expert was brought in to demonstrate the art of Judo, which was a hair-raising form of expression for P.E. students. A different type of expression came in Mr. Joe Castelo ' s room as Dave Bergen, student teacher, took over the class while teaching about mountain men. Mr. Bergen put himself in their position for a day and showed expressions men used. Feelings of the blind were experienced by Home Ec. students — Sheri Stoll. Brenda Yadon. ' Lisa White- sell, and Lisa Lawson — as one project. 50 Developing By Expression
