Occupying space in Mrs. Bette - = d o Peterson's office in the business area was a | Commodore 8000 computer. Along with a printer and a single disk drive, students learned how computers are made useful in the business world. Classes that used the computer were business machines, senior office practice, and typing Il. As students became involved with the com- puter, the traditional business classes contin- ued to be strong. Beginners learned to type as advanced students worked on improving their skills. All sophomores took the required con- sumer education. Several other business classes were shorthand, bookkeeping, business communication, and retailing. | Copy by Gina Bixler

Photo by Laura Mueller scientists Photo by Laura Mueller The science department has recently added a new college prep course to its curriculum, ad- vanced placement biology, more commonly known as A.P. Biology Il which was taught by Mr. Kim Kolbe and Mr. Rudy Emerick. The project has been deemed successful by many students presently enrolled, and Mr. Kolbe had predicted interest. Also added to the program was Physics Il, taught by Mr. Bill Stocker, and Chemistry Il, by Mr. Jim Benjamin. With the addition of these classes, it is hoped that students will become more science orient- ed and therefore better prepared for the college level. Copy by Julie Sucher 27

| | | | Faculty change enhances l | A major change was found in the home economics department during the 1982-83 school year. Miss Carol Socha, who was in charge of this area last year, became the new career counselor. Mrs. Linda Slaggert and Mrs. Pat Seeleythen assumed the responsibility of the classes. Highlighting the year was the annual child J9|Xig eug Aq ojoud development Christmas party. Each student was to bring a child to school where various activities were planned for the children. The thrill of the event came when Santa Claus, alias Mr. Allan Larsen, made an appearance. Another accomplishment of the child develop- ment classes was their visit to Saginaw General Hospital. There they learned about childbirth XX and parenting. Students were given a tour of the delivery room and viewed the newborn section. Other home economics classes were also kept busy. The students engaged in cooking and sewing and learned about surviving in the real world alone.
