Foreign Language Students Feel C ' est La Vie Life in the foreign language classes was filled with hard work and lots of new vocabulary words. Some students decided to add either Spanish or French to their vocabulary which they hoped would heighten their ability to so- cialize with others. The teachers of these language classes were Senoras Vivian John- son and Dina Richmond, the two amigas who were responsible for helping students reach their bi- lingual goals. I think that this year went very well. It helped me very much, Byron Robinson, junior, said. I had a lot of fun, too, in my French class. Not only did students learn a lot about the language, but we did it in a way that wasn ' t boring, By- ron said. Tyler Mercer, Keith Hendricks and Bryan Tucker read in their Spanish class. Minerva and Yolanda Mireles study dur- ing Spanish. Efrain Peralez puts his God ' s Eye yarn cre- ation up for Mrs. Richmond ' s Spanish stu- dents to see. 90 FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Lifelong Skills Discovered Business As Usual Joe Alexander- Typing I, Bu- sines Law, Consumer Math Six business courses were offered to students considering careers as a lawyer, secretary, man- ager or bookkeeper. While in business classes I ' ve learned a lot of new important things, said Wesley Glover, senior. Not only new ideas but new equipment was avail- able in typing. I like the five new Panasonic elec- tronic typewriters because they ' re quiet and can change pitch, Mr. Joe Alexander said. I just wonder if they ' ll be able to stand up as long as the old IBM ' s did. Accounting students learned to keep personal records, auto expenses and to file records among oth- er duties. Tyler Mercer, sophomore, said the best thing was learning to keep financial records. I sure didn ' t know how before. Tracking expenses kept recordkeeping students busy. During shorthand, stu- dents were taught to write words using strange symbols. They look kind of like fishhooks, but they really are useful, Dee Dee Nesbitt, junior, explained. Since most of the world is turning electronic, many students decided to take Miss Conrad ' s com- puter classes to keep up with technology and learn to use a computer. Com- puting is great and I ' ve learned a lot in there, said Junior LaNeva Coe. 92 BUSINESS
