Each of these four areas uses a type of keys in their work or play. Typing and business classes are one place where keys play a vital role in the existence of the class. The skills learned in typing can he very useful not only now but also in the future. Said typ- ing student Tracy Sims, Typing will be useful when l do term papers and reports in college. Teachers like things better typed. Computer science classes also depend greatly on keys. Learn- ing how to hit the right ones in order to write a program is nec- essary for success under Mr. Kestner. Even though comput- ers are educational, students also find them a little confusing. Said senior Michelle Tway, lt's really a challenge, you think All Keyed Up. ln a last minute run of his computer program, Calvin Bonner keys in his corrections before handing it in to Mr. Kestner. Academics you've finally figured it out and then find out you're wrong. Teachers also find use in keys, teacher's keys. These are used in some form or fashion by all teachers to grade stacks of tests and papers. Finally, the most entertaining of all keys are piano keys. They may seem, like just something to play with, but for some students, such as Susan Newsome, piano is an education. I've been tak- ing piano lessons for nine years. I enjoy it because music is a form of self-expression. I'm starting to write some of my own music now, and hopefully I'll be per- forming my own compositions by my next recital. Classes based on keys are in- teresting, educational, and prac- tical. By learning skills and de- veloping talents, students can make the most of these benefi- cial classes. 1 6 5 f i i student, Hope Roper. gn ,W ' .ri I W.. i .er Hifi, r .. it llkp. rrr. . 2 in ...l

Equations + I-Iard Work 2 Success In Class And In Life What do Chemistry, Physics, Algebra, Accounting and Home Ec. have in common? The basic problem solving method they all use is equations. From IZPRT to 3 cups of sugar and a quart of water, all these classes center on the practical uses of equations. Surprisingly enough, these equa- tions might be not only helpful in passing a class, but useful in everyday lite. In Chemistry, equations are one of the main methods of problem-solving. Learning how to plug in numbers in Mr. Con- nell's class is not only a good idear but a must for passing his class. Junior Stephanie France commented, I took Chemistry because I like using numbers and working with the different kinds of equations, Physics, another type of ad- vanced equation-using science class, is also helpful in every- day life as well as college prep- aration. Said senior Sherri Fin- ley, I think a lot of the subjects we've learned about and how to do may end up being very help- ful. lt's really weird how satel- lites are put into orbit, said sen- ior Michelle Meredith. I thought it would be so compli- cated, but we learned that the earth's gravity holds it in place, There is even an equation for that, too. Just like science, Algebra and most other maths are based on equations. Practical interest Academics Smooth Sailing. In Physics, Jeff Lewis, glides through the vector equation with ease. problems and everyday math can be worked through equa- tions. Said junior Lora Tuttle, One day my knowledge of Al- gebra will be an important part of my career. These equations can be applied to real-life situa- tions before and during a ca- reer. Accounting, related to math, has one main equation: Assets 2 Liabilities + Capital. Once that is mastered, every accounting problem can be solved. This is a very practical class, because many jobs are just like the class and use the same equation. Said senior Sheila Handy, I think this class will give me a good base for college classes especial- ly in the first couple of years. Last and definitely least ex- pected is Home Economics. Equations in the kitchen? Sur- prisingly, yes. Recipes are sim- ply equations for cooking and are more readily usable than most other equations. Said sen- ior Carlen Richardson, This class is helpful to me because Pm learning how to cook. It sounds simple, but it will be very important later on. Equations are the common thread in all these classes, but the main idea is practical appli- cation. lt learned and used cor- rectly, these equations + hard work 2 success in class and in life. 5 5
