Mr, Fellwock makes a point. Change affects different areas Social studies became a bit inventive, as in creating a new class for economics students. Mr. Maclntosh used materials from Junior Achievement and fashioned a class that used computers to let students try to solve practical problems that businesses face. There were so many students in the department this year that teachers from Kurt Raleigh listen to Mr, Wiisl. English, Mr. Aurand, from art, Mr. Kniese, from music, Mr. Adye and Mr. Haygood picked up a class or two. Industrial Arts classes added a Maclntosh computer and laser printer to the Graphics Arts department. That brought real desk top printing possibilities to the department.

Changes Improve There have been several changes in the business de- partment this year. With the retirement of Mrs. An- gemeier, Mrs. Toone has become the head of the business department. This year, the depart- ment got seven new PC computers and several new software programs. They also have new Panasonic electronic typewriters for the keyboarding classes and the clerical lab. The computer application Class will also give students a chance to use the new com- puters and software pro- grams. The accounting lab is one of the new classes of- fered this year. The people Lisa Elpers adds up her accounting, in the advanced accounting class spend two periods a day in the lab. They may also get a job during the second semester and re- ceive work experience cred- it for working. This means they can get experience in an office while being a stu- dent. They earn two class credits. Business commu- nications is also a new class. It is for juniors and seniors and also counts as an English elective. This class is a one semester Class. With the improvements made this year, it is easy to see that the business de- partment is A Shade Above The Rest.
