Carmon joins staff The 1985-86 computer classes were taught by a new teacher, Mr. David Carmon. The sophomore computer class was introduced to a new com- puter language called Logo. The ju- niors studied the graphics capabili- ties of both BASIC programming and Logo, while the seniors worked with the Appleworks and Flashcalc programs, reviewed Logo and were introduced to Pascal, a high-level computer language, on both the Commodore and Apple computers. Typing I students under Mrs. Doris Hepperle learned how to type business documents, letters, memos and reports. Shorthand stu- dents were introduced to shorthand theory during the fall semester and worked on speed development in the spring. Office education stu- dents spent two hours each day in a simulated office environment working on word processing, writ- ten communication, filing, finan- cial records, mailing and shipping. Office ed students also spent six weeks working downtown in local offices. Accounting, business math and business law were taught by Mr. John Stolle. Stolle enjoyed teaching his business classes because he found satisfaction in helping stu- dents understand the complexities of keeping books for a large busi- ness. He also liked seeing students begin to understand the law and not just think about what they con- sidered fair.

No, these were just a few of the names students received in Miss Charlene Nemec's Spanish classes. Nemec, a first-year teacher, added interest to her classes by hosting a Mexican dinner and teaching the students Spanish folk dances. The seventh hour Spanish class prepared a Mexican dinner for Spanish students in grades 10-12. The menu consisted of tacos and potato skins. Following the dinner students watched movies. The first hour class performed a Mexican folk dance, La Raspa, for grades K.-3 at their Christmas pro- gram. V Miss Charlene Nemec and freshman Doug Yost chuckle over Yost's Spanish transla- tion.
