Well it might, but we 're mainly training kids to appre- ciate other cultures and to be world citizens, remarked Tom Rohm, Ger- man instructor. First year students learned basic conversation techniques, grammar, and had an introduction to the culture. Second year students concentrated on individual speaking and putting the language into actual practice. What I really enjoy is the parties and field trips, they're an important part of the class, commented Tari Robb, Spanish student. For all three languages, the biggest event was the annual Mardi Gras, Fasching or Carni- val. Field trips included a trip to Can- ada, the Pike Place Market and a tour of the grade schools where they taught the songs and dances of their studies.

Although math wasn't a required subject, most college-bound seniors were recommended to take at least a year of geometry before gradu- ation. s Mr. Gene Gareth department head, commented, The students want to learn, and that makes our job as teachers that much easier.

The science department helped students better understand these things through experiments, field trips, guest speakers, assignments and lectures. ln learning about life, Biology students took a field trip to Northwest Trek, and they hiked on Saturdays to the Ice Caves, Dewey Lake, Trump Glacier and the Kent Lagoon. Guest speakers were featured from Discovery Park and the Audobon Soci- ety. Students had many chances to obsenre slugs and anemonies in their own classroom aquariums. Other ani- mals included rabbits, various rodents, and Zebra Finches for study. Physics and Chemistry students had exposure to the science of computers by using the computers to calculate data from labs, Department head Mr. Lear Lewis observed, Students are concentrating more on learning not just for the grade, but because they are interested and they want to learn.
