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.

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.

Mr. McMahan - Math Secondary Education is a preparation for the future . 1 W :Q K . W--fluff' Mrs. Miller - Home Ec. Secondary Education to me means that the students should learn to function in our society after graduation. This should include every facet in life, everywhere from becoming a successful person in a personal and social sense to becoming a successful employee in the working world. Each student should make every effort to utilize his or her education to learn attitudes, skills, and techniques of becoming a suc- cessful member of society. . Mr. Salazar - Asst. Principal Secondary Education is a preparation for a better adult life, not only in terms of financial or academic success but also in terms of being able to cope with problems that arise once a person graduates from high school.
