. .4 ' The people ' s choice -. Decisions, decisions! We all have to make them at some point in our Hues. Students were not only faced with trying to decide what to wear, but also what classes to take for their next year. From Art to Typing to Homemaking class- es. East Central has Just about any class a student could pos- sibly wish to take. There were classes for people wanting to learn about Accounting and Personal Business Manage- ment. For people who wish to travel, there were many for- eign language courses such as Spanish and French available to prepare them for world trav- el. I took family living to pre- pare myself for my child rear- ing years, Junior Stacey Williams said. Electives can be a great opportunity to learn skills. General Motor Repair prepares students who wish to pursue a career in automotive repair. Taking electives some feel is a waste of time, but for those who are interested in vo- cational careers the electives offered here are not only a chance to learn a skill, but are extremely helpful in much needed job related experience. Electives offer a chance to learn more than Just reading, writing, and arithmetics. Elec- tives offer more than Just the class itself. Some of them offer a club to Join such as DECA, coming from the marketing classes. Joining the clubs themselves are an interesting experience. Some go more into depth of what the class is all about. Electives are fun and an unusual opportunity to learn new skills. Todd Clelenckl Z? 0a©S[M]D(B© d :.z.c yn AC DEM CS Electiues by Deelaina Stowe . . . 210

Sometimes color change is a lot nicer than odors. Ugh! Dissection Dissection! Students ex- claimed as tfiey thought of the horror that lay ahead! Al- though many students dread- ed the idea of dissecting an- imals, such as fetal pigs, they found it to be a little better than they expected. The ex- perience proved to be a val- uable tool in understanding the science world. Many interesting experi- ments and lab projects made science a bearable and some- times even fun subject. In the middle of a lab. Freshman Kim Hosek admits that her dissec- tion experiment wasn ' t as bad as she expected. I expected the worst, and when we got to worthing on the actual project. I really became interested in learning all I could. Science is one of those nec- essary evils everyone must en- counter in their lifetime. How- ever, despite the dread, many ACADlMICf students are quite comfortable in laboratory surroundings. Seniors Krista Lebo and Rox- anne Brown were anxious to find out their new assignment as they reached the end of an- other. Science can really be fun. if you take it seriously and put forth a little extra effort, you will probably find that you start looking forward to your labs and experiments. Junior Belinda Lacayo said. Science teacher Linda Ashleman was planning to fur- ther her science career even more as she returned to col- lege to become a doctor. Al- though her students were sad that she is leaving the teaching profession, they were enthusi- astic about her goal.
