Languages keep busy The Ellinwood High School lan- guage arts department had many ac- tivities scheduled for the 1981-82 year. It has also been a successful year for the German, Latin, Spanish and Speech classes. Mrs. Vicki Schroeder concentrated on the grammar and vocabulary in German I and II. Also, cultural dif- ferences were discussed. Puppets were used for the first time to reduce the inhibitions in speaking German. Students attended the “Oktober- fest” in Wichita and the Humanities Festival in Salina. They also went to the Foreign Language Day at Barton County Community College. The use of Latin derivitives was studied in both Latin I and II. These classes also went to the Foreign Lan- guage Day at BCCC. Schroeder said that the students had favorable reac- tions to the grips. Besides Spanish, Mr. Wilbur Hogg taught a freshman speech and a for- ensics and debate class. Since there were not enough deba- ters, no meets were attended, but a tournament was held here on Octo- ber 10. However, the forensics squad did well. Members of the squad were Kirk Bressler, Tina Monaghan, So- nya and Darrell Seitz, Paula and Rhonda Welden, Beth Wilhelm, Gina Cunningham, Doug Hood, Shelly Krom and Dale Hogg. The team took many trips. Some of the tournaments they attended were at Hays, Sterling, St. John, and BCCC. They brought home 46 I ratings, 51 IIs and 20 Ills. This represents a to- tal of 117 individual performances. The regional festival was held here on March 10. Dale Hogg and the Seitzes qualified for the state festival in Pratt on May 8.

Techniques observed The General Business classes, un- der the instruction of Mr. Larry Vogt, journeyed to Fuller Brush in Great Bend Sept. 30 to learn more about mass production. Also visited was Dillon’s, where they studied techniques used in marketing. The students felt it was helpful to hear from people who specialize in these areas and to see actual exam- ples of their techniques. Two local places visited were Peo- ples State Bank, where the classes observed its operations, and a gro- cery store where they studied pric- ing. Mrs. Cindy Austin’s Typing I stu- dents learned the basic essentials on the typewriter with emphasis on speed during the second semester. The correct ways for typing manu- scripts, letters, and envelopes were also covered. Filing, besides further learnings of the principles of typing, was an area of study in Mrs. Austin’s Advanced Typing class. It would seem as though Shorthand would be nearly impossible to learn, but students en- rolled in the class do manage to succeed. Mrs. 28 Cindy Austin demontrates the techniques used in this form of writing. (Photo by Nancee Dannebohm) Vicky Cunningham.
