Business Helps Train Students Each month business students were recognized by the business teachers. The students qualified in the following ways: by maintaining a “B” average, good attitude, willingness to work, and regular school attendance. Answering telephones, filing papers, and typing timed writings were the major jobs of students in business classes. Shanks' Business Department was headed by Mrs. Betty Register and consisted of Mrs. Annette Ford, Mrs. Rena Jackson, and Mrs. Sharon Thomas. All of these teachers prepared each student to go out into the world of business. MlU l C 1 DUAKU Mrs. Ford shows Thumbelina Reed the major parts of the typewriter.

Physics students study for six-weeks exams. Science Hosts Regional Fair Labs, formulas, chemical bonds, dissections, and endless tasks were familiar to science students. In science courses such as physics, chemistry, biology, and physical science, these terms were often used. The Science Department was allotted six hundred dollars for science research for the first time. Once again, the department, headed by Mr. Carlos Gaskin, was the host of the Big Bend Regional Science Fair, which was held at Shanks High School on February 27-28. 1980.

Students Study Spanish Customs Spanish disco records, games, puzzles, foods and magazines helped to promote student interest in the language and culture of Spanish-speaking countries. Students were kept up-to-date on world news by referring to maps printed in Spanish. Miss Linda Salz, Spanish teacher, provided the opportunity for students to correspond with pen pals from many foreign countries. Spanish students were also responsible for signs, printed in Spanish, which were distributed throughout the school. Miss Salz identifies a Spanish speaking country. First-year Spanish students progress through hard work. Darryl Moore enjoys a food-tasting party. 45
