lv Coach Comancho - Athletics Privileged opportunity for the young. Coach Newcomer - Athletics, English Secondary Education pro- vides me the opportunity to come in contact with a wide variety of super people including administrators, teachers and students, which is beneficial to me as a person and I hope that some of the others that come in contact with me benefit also. Mr. Vigil - Counselor The curriculum must pre- pare students either for a job or for college. The educa- tional system must be over- hauled to meet the needs of the majority and the realities of the new world of jobs- career-oriented education fol- lowed by career-exploration and followed by actual train- ing in the 11th and 12th grades. Whether people sur- vive and improve, depends upon the resolution of man's differences with himself and fellowman. We are learning everyday that many chances are leading to: alienation, hostility, powerlessness, being manipulated, unemployed, drugs, violence, suicide, col- lapse of health, and racism.

Mrs. Martin - Math Secondary Education means that we, as teachers, have a unique opportunity to help prepare young adults to par- ticipate in the world today. It is a challenge, because, as adults, we must winnow out the necessary material and present only that which we consider most useful. It is a pleasure because, many times, we see students who have taken this knowledge and used it to benefit themselves and others. Secondary Educa- tion gives us an opportunity to contribute to the improvement of society through the improvement of individuals. Mr. Turner - Math Secondary Education is the beginning of your adult life. A person should begin planning and studying for the future. I would hope that during high school a person could obtain the necessary skills to succeed in an occupation or continue their education, in an institu- tion of higher learning. Miss Ponikvar - Band Preparing students for col- lege or jobs to make a living outside of school.

Mrs. Weems - Home Ec. Secondary Education is a futhering of basic education already aquired and an exploring of new fields to find our interests. It should edu- cate in a knowledge as well as allow us to explore our likes and dislikes. Secondary edu- cation should help me cope with immediate situations and yet show a plan and valuable use for our further adulthood. It should be presented in such a manner that those involved will become active partici- pants in developing a skill or knowledge not captive laws. Mr. Perkins - English Secondary Education is the time frame in which a young person matures and realizes his attributes as well as his or her shortcomings. It is a grow- ing time - an honest time - a fun time . or-if Mrs. Hooten - History Secondary Education gives the student an opportunity to learn by themselves.
