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

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.

Students Train for Future Jobs Saws! Hammers! Nails! These were some of the many pieces of equipment shop students became familiar with in class. Mr. Jerome Gilmore, head of the Industrial Arts Department, trained students in the many areas of shop. In the Shop 1 class, students made required projects to gain experience before selecting projects of their own. In the Shop II class, projects were designed and constructed by students. For example, they made tables, cabinets, and gun racks. In power technology, the class studied the history and theory of power production. They also did some shop work on small engines. The students in the Industrial Arts Club helped with Homecoming floats and aided the Science Department. Alan Duke carves wood during his class period in shop.
