New courses offered Three new courseswere offered to expand students' academic choices. Preparations for College Admissions was geared for college-bound seniors, Photography gave shutter-bugsachance to developtheir skills, and Advanced Reading was aimed at increasing reading comprehension levels. The PCA course, taught by JoAnn Pfeffer, not only gave a summary of the different colleges, but it also helped students prepare for the SAT. In addition, it assisted a student in his preparation for college life. Books were bought at the beginning of the year and computer software was used to develop verbal and mathematical skills. At the end of the year each student prepared a report on a certain college and orally presented it, so that the class could get an overview of at least 20 colleges. A new semester Photography course was introduced this year. Taught by Robert Dale Hooks concentrates on the novel Deathwatch.

Most of the pictures taken by the students were outdoors and were sent to local newspapers or contests. Two years of some form of art or crafts were required to join the Photography class. The third new course was Advanced Reading, taught by Jo Ann Wunderlich and Kay Lynn Moran. The curriculum involved study and reading skills, computer comprehension and a general preparation for college. The class was split into several small groups according to the student's abilities. During the week, timed readings and closed tests were taken to sharpen the student's reading and comprehension skills. These courses proved to be useful either for study or recreational needs. lllllllll Tony Jones finds computers to be agreat help in .lo Ann Wunderlich indicates the fine points of Advanced Reading.
