Foreign Language It's Something Different by Beth Marsell Here at Hempstead there are three foreign language classes offered, French, German, and Spanish. It's a myth that one must be a brain to do well in foreign language, said Maria Landschulz, German instructor. Spanish teacher, Gloria Gonzalez said, The most important thing is to have an interest in the foreign language and its different culture. Foreign language is more than just learning the vocabulary and grammar. Ethnic meals, games, music, and movies are used to teach students about the culture and customs also. A person with a know- ledge of a foreign language is better able to understand other people of the world French teacher. According to all three foreign language teachers, class size has increased. The reason, they believe, is because more and more colleges are requiring for- eign language to either enter or graduate. Amy Krouse '85, said, If I went to a college where a foreign language was required, I'd already have one learned. This trend of thinking is becoming more common since both the University of Iowa and Iowa State University now have for- eign language graduation requirements. Taking a foreign lan- guage can also open up a wider range of job op- portunities. As said by DaLayne Qvern '85, It's something different everybody isn't doing. and appreciate their cul- ture, said Susan Bateman, ll Spanish Club is just one of the many N ' J Jf xlf' things Spanish students can become involved in. Here advisor Gloria - 3 Gonzalez meets with club members. .- U N V ' I Photo by Pam Trent 21 Puzzled by her French assignment, Amy Coddington '85, seeks help from her teacher, Susan Bateman.

The Industrial Ed. student begins with a sur- vey course that covers the basic skills in electricity, woodworking, industrial processes, and mechanical drawing. This is taught by Ronald Ainley, Thomas Foster, Larry Hoelscher, David Less, jack Lovell and Q ,Q-. Wayne Siebert. General Metals, a class in basic metalworking fun- damentals, is taught by Hoelscher, Thomas Nickels, who also teaches the weld- ing classes and Charles Sturdevant who teaches Wood Tech. Machine Shop deals with the basic operations on the engine lathe, milling ma- chines, shaper, drill press and the band saw. Auto Mechanics empha- sizes automotive mainten- ance and repair procedures for the average person. Electricity, a prerequisite Thomas Foster Larry Hoelscher David Less jack Lovell john Miller Torn Nickels Wayne Siebert Charles Sturdevant course for Electronics, in- volves theory and practical application. Electronics furthers the study by analyzing various electronic parts. Industrial Plastics is the study of the plastics in- dustry. Mechanical Drawing 1-2 is the basic drawing and Mechanical Drawing 3-4 is the advanced course. Archi- tectural Drawing involves home design. Engineering Drawing is a survey draw- ing course. In addition, advanced classes in Auto-Mechanics, Vocational Homebuilding and Machine Shop are available to both Hemp- stead and Senior High students. Besides classroom activi- ties and assignments, Indus- trial Education students took part in other activities. Students entered projects for competition in both the Iowa Industrial Arts Fair in Cedar Falls on May 6 and the Platteville Competition on April 8. Students also built or repaired projects of their own. 99

Af- will if 1 4m Math ew Computer Course by Hillard Salas Hempstead High School's mathematics department offers a variety of courses to its students. These include classes in algebra, geometry, trigonometry and functions and Computer Programming I, a new course added to the math curriculum in 1982. Specific classes are geared for both low- and high- ability students alike. Basic instruction in algebra, geometry and applied math is offered for students with difficulties in math. Ad- vanced courses are also offered for higher ability math students. Computer Programming I, the math department's newest course, is designed to give students experience in solving problems in an organized manner, accord- ing to Gene Schaul, who teaches the class to approx imately one hundred ten students taking the course Experience in programming Apple computers is also given. Math is a very important part of the course and is used in virtually all the programming done. Games are just one of the ways math is used. The math is disguised in game program- ming, said Schaul. 101 X . ti ' tl
