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.

Physical education was out and inside. P.E., For. Language see Changes Two new faces joined the Foreign Language Department, Ms Janet Duff and Ms Margaret Griffin. Ms. Duff took over the French classes and Ms. Griffin became the second of the two Spanish teachers in the Below 6 Spani5h C1355- department. One of the many fun highlights of the year was a Christmas time dinner for Mrs. Hahn's Advanced Spanish class at the Hacienda. Physical Education classes were somewhat disrupted because of the building of the field house. Since it was not ready for use, weight training and physical fitness type classes shared space with other classes. Lifetime Sports classes added some extra fun for a bowling unit when Franklin Lanes offered free bowling after school for the classes. Several took advantage of the chance to try their skill in a real bowling alley after practicing in the small gym. 106QPEHFOR LANGUAGE
