'Tis The Season We celebrated the various Spanish holidays to give the students an idea of the customs of people from another nationality. I feel that it made them aware of the similarities between the Spanish and American people, stated Mrs. Joyce Israel. The first holiday that the classes celebrated was the day of the dead, which is like our Halloween. Students made masks and enacted the Mexican ceremony. In Mexico people start the day by attending church and lighting candles for relatives who have died. Next they go to a graveyard for a picnic. Before leaving, the people leave food for the souls of fhe dead. The celebration ends with La Urania, the weeping woman. Mrs. Israel portrayed La Urania. She went around the room weeping, as La Urania does, for her dead children. It made me realize that in Mexico Halloween is a holiday with meaning while here in the U.S. it's just a time for fun, stated Angie Miller. To celebrate Christmas the third year Spanish class made individual pinatas while second year worked in groups to make theirs. Christmas in Mexico lasts from December 12 to January 6. During these weeks the class did as the Mexicans do. On the 12th Mrs. Israel dressed as the Lady of Guadalupe, whose ceremony marks the beginning of Christmas. From the 13th to the 18th students went from desk to desk seeking admittance, symbolizing Mary and Joseph seeking shelter in Bethlahem. On the 19th students celebrated by breaking their pinatas and eating the candy. On January 5th the students brought a shoe and set it out to be filled with candy. January 6th, the After his interview, John Newsom, poses with Dr. Baer of the Hope Veterinary Clinic. One of Mrs Huffy's speech class projects was to set up simulated job interviews with people in the careers that class members were interested in.

Their celebration makes me appreciate the Christmas holiday and get the real meaning of it, said Amber Rhoades. Easter in Mexico is a very solemn time. It is a time to gather together and celebrate Christ's rising from the dead. Students here celebrated in a way found only in parts of Mexico. They took eggs and removed the whites and yolk. Then they painted and decorated them. After the paint dried, they filled them with confetti and sealed the hole. Mrs. Israel hid the eggs in the courtyard and let the students find them. The difference is that after the eggs were found, they were broken over each other's heads, spilling the confetti. I feel that the students really learned a lot from celebrating the holidays. Now they know that we aren't really that different, ended Mrs. Israel. 22 Languages

In Years To Come “The idea came to me when a friend of mine was complaining about the way the students were filling out the applications. They were so bad he couldn't even tell who would be good for the job and who wouldn't. So I decided to take the first two weeks of Government and devote them to teaching the students how to fill out applications and write resumes, said Mr. Mike Brock. He started the first week by having Bob Davis from the National Guard come in and talk to the students on how to fill out applications, how to write a resume, how to write a letter of inquiry, and the correct way to conduct themselves in an interview. Other people came from ITT Technical Institute, Indiana Business College, Professional Careers Institute and Clark College. They gave talks concerning these same things. Joan Klotz, from PCI, played “Let's Make A Deal with the students in sixth period. In playing this, she explained the correct way to pay for a house, a car, and all the extra expenses in living. She also conducted a mock interview in which she used two girls to prove her point on why a good interview is so important. “I think having this was a good idea. I liked the speakers, they really helped me learn to fill out an application and write a resume. I feel that I benefited from these speakers a lot, said Traci Tanguma. “Every year students come back to me and tell me how much they benefited from that two weeks. I think it's a really good idea, and I will continue to do this in years to come, said Mr. Brock.
