'Et N, is i Orientation A Physics A Physical Science A Psychology A Sociology AAmerican History n 1984, the state board of education es- tablished that all stu- dents, beginning with the class of 1988, must have two science credits to gra- duate. lt should help people who itend on taking one gen- eral science get a better view of the world of sci- ence, said junior Mike Watherly. Many students are now taking science classes in their freshman year. This has caused some question as to whether a freshman can handle the class load. Science should be taken as a sophomore, because some classes you take as a freshman may help you later in science, said junior Amber Weyer. lt fsciencei should be whenever you want, be- cause some may want to take a break from science, while some may want to learn as much as possible in their four years at EHS, said junior Marci Llrbanek. Science should be taken as a freshman, because if the student only wants two credits of science then they can take them early, and in their junior and senior year they can worry about taking required classes, said ju- nior Kevin Shriner.

Many students took the classes, preparing them- selves for careers after high school. The field of study that l plan to go into, business ac- counting, will be enhanced by my studies in Mrs. Reed's Caccountingl class, said Deneen Llrbanek, senior. I plan to become a busi- ness person in the field of accounting because l have enjoyed working with the many different forms of ac- counting, said Andrea Mi- kulecky, senior. lt faccountingj gives you a better idea of whether you want to take a business ma- jor in college, said Jim Bach, senior. Computer courses also helped students make a de- cision on what field to study. l may be a geophysicist or a physicist and use differ- ent mathematical types of computer software to solve equations, said Mike Bunch, sophomore. Teachers were also look- ing to the future. lt is our plan to start us- ing them fcomputersb in oth- er departments in the future - particularly where they lend themselves to the exist- ing curriculum, said Dan Erbert, computers teacher. l intend to implement some computer accounting into next year's class, may- be in the second semester after we have covered the basic principles, said Janet Reed, business teacher. - Kim Hanson In , ,.r -flows, ' fr' ' A .gy vt-W , W 3 Y f V- , V. -u, M., 1 , fl- + 50 Math 1 Business
