Liquid Lifesaver? Prom Typing To Shorthand, Business Classes Have It All Typewriters crackle, pens scratch, and hands grab for the lifesaving Liquid Paper as another hour passes by in busi- ness classes. Typing, record keeping, commercial law, eco- nomics, shorthand, accounting, and office machines helped form the business department. These courses prepared stu- dents for the business world and the careers associated with it. Co-operative office training was another popular busi- ness-related course as it combined school with actual on- the-job training and most importantly, money. With the help of a strong FBLA chapter, students were adequately prepared for the future. A new course, office machines was added to the curricu- lum. The subject was taught by Mrs. Melissa Schamp. Many Sandites found this class to be beneficial to their education because it taught them skills they needed to know to work in the office. Some will put this knowledge to use this summer and others will use it for a life time. SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE - A shorthand student practices her skills while preparing to take dictation from her teacher, Mrs. Scharnp. Shorthand is offered to juniors and seniors to prepare them for working in the business world after graduation. 86 Business ,Education I feel like the class is benefical to the students because there are only twelve in the class. This allows students to confer with each other and learn from each other, stated Mrs. Schamp. Typing I and Il were taken by many students who wished to acquire this necessary skill. It benefitted those who had to type their English, chemistry, and history reports. It also gave some Sandites the chance to make a few extra bucks, by typing fellow classmates' papers. Bookkeeping was taught by Mr. Ron Wilcox. Students were organized and disciplined strictly. They were expected to do their work as exactly as possible. Sandites learned how to balance checkbooks and keep business records straight. This aided some students in refraining from writing hot checks, but others did not have enough cash in the bank to bother writing checks.

It Takes Blood And Guts . Sandites Tackle Science Courses Mr. Moguin it smells like the room's on fire! screams Theresa Knowles. It's a lead pipe cinch, states Mr. johnson. Let me take some of your blood, exclaims Mr. Poster. But why? asks a puzzled biology student. These and many other phrases could be heard floating down the halls between the math and science classes. San- dites were challenged daily by their teachers who forced them to think. When we have a problem to solve in my classes, I expect my students to use scientific reasoning and think through it logically, explained Mrs. Leah Gann, biology and zoology teacher. Chemistry class held many surprises for scientific-mind- ed students. Mr. Alan Moguin added more methods to the lab procedure. Qualitative analysis was stressed more to the dismay of Chem II students and resulted in headaches for some Sandites. The qualitative analysis will definitely be of use to students going to college. It gives advanced laboratory op- portunities and allows students to work on their own. It enhances study of this area, commented Mr. Moguin. Geometry and algebra classes are considered to be boring by some students' standards, but Mr. Johnson added a little pizzaz to his classes. He allowed students to discuss and learn from each other as well as himself. I think he is a very good teacher. He always explains everything very thoroughly, stated Glenna Pafford. Sandites were blessed with two new biology teachers, Mrs. Leah Gann and Mr. James Frohip. Mrs. Gann came to Charles Page from Central Junior High School after waiting for several years for an opening at the high school. Mr. Fiohip was broken in properly by Sandites, as it was his first year of teaching since he graduated from Oral Roberts University. The ways of teaching have changed since I was in school. I've just really enjoyed it. I have not run into any problems with my students so far but I have met some very interest- ing students, commented Mr. Frohip. Math analysis, as always, was taught by Mr. John Eakes. It was challenging to many seniors and a few juniors who decided to sharpen their mental abilities in the math area. Some of the seniors used the knowledged they gained in math analysis in chemistry and physics. I found math analysis too difficult sometimes but on the whole I enjoyed it, stated Marty Perry.
