Uocation time Vocational: of. relating to. or prooiding training or education in a skill, trade, or occupation, or guidance in choosing an oc- cupation. There were a wide variety of Vocational classes offered this past year, ranging from office practice classes such as COOP. VICA, VICT. ODP. and on to the Marketing classes. Also considered Voca- ti onal are Ag and ROTC, I took ROTC because I thought it would better prepare myself for my future. It teaches me survival and how to survive in certain situations. Freshman Alex Zamora said. Vocational classes are offered to students who would like to learn more about life outside of school. They prepare you for the future whether it deals with an office Job. military, or animals. I took Ag. because it would fur- ther acknowledge me in later life pertaining to agricultural experiences due to the down- fall of agricultural problems in our nations economy today, Junior Ronnie Luensmann said. I took Intro, to Mkt. be- cause I felt it would be an in- teresting class and also so I could learn the computer. I al- so felt it would be neat to study that class and learn of the World of Business, and that I did! Senior Ronnie Meloni said. Taking a Vocational class is definitely worth your time! It teaches so much and is a great deal of fun if you really get into it! Trips, dinners, banquets, and new friends, it ' s great! Senior Jan Schwarzkopf said. Melissa Sargent ICE CREAM, YOU SCREAM.

Becominsi twinkle toes My freshman year the seni- ors spent half the year getting down the perfect technique of stuffing innocent fish like me into their 2 foot by 2 foot lock- ers. It never seemed to work, no one, not even the scrawn- iest freshman could fit in a locker that size. Much to my dismay I found that the lockers we used in P.E. prov ided more than enough room to place stinky sweats, a week-old lunch, and a puny freshman. Physical Education was the class I dreaded most. So, when I glanced on my choice sheet for next year ' s courses I noticed a new one, dance. I pictured myself in a body suit, skintight, sexy. I ' d be looking sharp. Plus, this dance class was supposed to be held in the old band hall, wasn ' t it? That meant no more lockers. Dance class was the best. I ' d still have to take health to finish off the needed half cred- it, but that would be educa- tional. I liked P.E., but dance gave me a goal to reach. I want to feel graceful and flow- ing while dancing, not to men- tion lose a pound or two. We rotated every week or so, first aerobics, then modern dance. I loved aerobics. They really helped to trim my tummy. Modern dance was enjoyable because finally I learned how to float like a swan across the dance floor, instead of like a one-legged chicken. Dance proved to be my fa- vorite class of all. I lost weight, learned new steps and learned how to put a freshman in an old band members tuba lock- ShaiDn Melenyzer Jody Simmons CALL IT A THING FOR PAINI Before dance class.
