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

BOWLING!! This year, students in Gail Shanelec's health and physical educa' tion classes studied the sport of bowling with hands on experience at the Coach and Four Bowling Alley, which is co-owned by Shanelec. This activity was chosen to be the favorite ac- tivity of students enrolled in the class, most of whom are freshmen. Other activities the class participated in were touch football, lifting weights and tennis. Although health and phys- ical education is a required course, many students en- joyed taking it because of the physical benefits. 52 Physical Education fVo-Ag I feel it has kept me physically fit while l have taken it, said Candy Hilde- brandt, freshman. lt really didn't help me physically because l stayed in sports all year long, said Tasha McAtee, freshman. lt kept me in shape after volleyball, said Deanna Bobbett, freshman. The vocational agricul- ture department included Vo-Ag l-lV, shop and power mechanics. This was the last year classes in this department could be referred to as Vo- Ag. Because of a class con- tent change, the official name will be the agriculture science department, and the class names will be changed to crop and soil science and animal science beginning with the 1987-88 school year. - Kim Hanson
