Elect ives Variate Student Schedules Elective classes added variety and diversity to student ' s schedules at CHS. Enrollment in elective classes was very good according to Mrs. Barbara Kelly. Typing, for- eign languages, and choir continued to be chosen most often. One of the most popular departments, foreign languages, steadily gained momentum. The increased demand was probably due to more students becoming aware that uni- versities and colleges expected students to have at least two years of a foreign language for entrance. Mrs. Flor- ence Pearson was very pleased with the CHS students at the Alaska State Foreign Language Declamation Contest. In the French I category, Kyle Reynolds took second place and Rick Goodwin took third in Spanish 5. Choir is always a popular choice and Mrs. Shirley Letcher had her schedule full with five vocal classes per day. The well known Chugiak Esquires made a prestigious excursion to Hollywood in April of ' 85 to compete in the National Performance Choir Competition. The Chugiak Esquires placed 8th out of 22 choir presentations and Mrs. Letcher couldn ' t have a more talented group. Added equipment in the elective department included new word processors in the business department, Mr. Fiske along with other drafting teachers were happy to see the woodworking department become computerized. The variety of elective classes was tremendous and Mrs. Kelly felt that the departments were well prepared to handle the increased demands in the future.
