A little lecture During seventh period, Mrs, Sue Harris lectures to her somewhat small government class. E s ectant Loriggdi ler places an egg precari- ously on the edge of an open locker, being careful not to let it fall. Toni Meore Psyched u Darlaine Cou ter and Tracey Gray participate in a group discussion in their psychol- ogy class. Kim Zawacki Ilaga Despite the Easter eggs and ornaments, one wondered The state mandated the knowledge of formulas, theorems, cultures, and gov- ernmental principals, but the unusual and creative things made the necessary classes a little bit more bearable for students. Some math classes released a little pre- Chn'stmas energy by using the skills they,d learned in class to plot seasonal designs on graph paper. Mrs. Sandra Fergusonts geometry classes created Christmas tree oma- ments of card board and wrapping paper in the form of geometric solids. Mrs. Debora Swecker's classes were treated to an Eas- ter egg hunt the day before spring break. Hidden inside each plastic egg were two jellybeans and a problem to work for credit towards a m Math and Social Studies e- 145 Toni Moore 5 this necessary? homework grade. More fun for most than finding the eggs though, was hiding them for the next class in places like the pencil sharpener and on top of the intercom. A more serious way to apply knowledge was the regional mathematics con- test at Virginia Western Community College. Forty- three Cave Spring students participated in November, with eleven of them winning certificates. Trenor Williams and Tofer Chagnon placed first in their separate divi- sions, and the school placed second over all. Social studies students applied their knowledge in a different way. In April, 16 Advanced Government stu- dents traveled to Virginia Military Institute to take part in a model of the United Nations Security Council. Students became the mock delegates of countries in the UN. and were faced with dilemas that had to be resolved. Other students of the same class took part in Roanoke County Student Govern- ment Day in May during which they took the places of local elected officials.

Lee Thomason, interested in the production and use of lasers, built and operated his own laser with the help of his mentor. The market- ing program employed a large number of students. They put in parttime hours at local stores an learned techniques useful to the marketing of clothing and other items. The students also investigated law, politics, accounting, and even mortuary science. When asked if the program provided him with a worthwhile experience Lee replied, uThe programts really great and it helps us decide what we want to do in the future.

The same holds true for the foreign language clubs. A student voyaging into a club is required to pay his dues one way or another before becoming a member. The foreign language clubs took different roads to success. As if taken from a page of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Latin club, usually an active, vocal group, got off to a rocky start. A number of Latin students who had been club members in junior high school didnit participate in the annual slave sale. The Slave Week initiation was less than enthusiastic. Sophomore Heather Lange summed it up, tilt would have been a lot more fun if more people had partici- pated? The club still raised $436.50, most of which went to a scholarship. The club officers got busy and clarified the by-laws so that, in the future, any member of the high school Unzi ped lips Sharirf; their holiday spirit, members of the French Club sing popular Christmas carols to the residents of a local nursing home. Afterwards, they continued their fellowship at Ferrols. 146 .. Foreign Languages club would be required to go through initiation. Despite the fact that there was a shortage of slaves, the old members amused them- selves by ordering the unfor- tunate ones to perform em- barrassing acts. Heather, who won the slave sports- manship award, commented, ill felt it was a bit degrading, but the thought of being a slave owner next year kept me goingfi Rebounding, the Latin Club soon found success with its Christmas caroling at Liberty House Nursing Cen- ter. After coming in early to practice, the club members displayed their vocal talents as they sang such tunes as tiSilent Night, Holy Nightli in Latin. Following the traditional flow of activities, the Spanish Club enjoyed the same success as in the past. From the Day of the Dead party at Halloween to the Christmas party at Chi-Chils, the club enjoyed feasting on Spanish foods such as enchiladas and is a toga, and a cap is a beret, you know ou're in foreign territory tacos. The earthquake victims in El Salvador were benefici- aries of the Spanish Clubls holiday spirit as $100 was donated to the International Red Cross to help those in need. The French Club also took part in the Christmas season by caroling at a retirement home and then partying at Ferrds later that night. One might ask, thhy did the French Club have a party at an Italian restaurantT Club member Eric Baldwin answered, tlBecause I didnit want to eat snailslii They also sold MSLMls, raising $200 for scholarships, field trips, and parties. Using $835 from the clubs treasury, the German Club planned many exciting activities in the second se- mester when they began to meet more regularly. Cleve Fisher S S i 3 g i Julie Willcox
