Some Lyman students do understand Spanish and German. German Instructor Gary Poore taught German for seven years. I like my first year students to acquire an appreciation of the country's lan- guage, customs, and people, he said. I also want them to get basic fluency and elementary reading and spelling skills. Junior Bryan Searle enrolled in German because he wanted to take a foreign language, and it was the only one he could fit in his schedule. Searle said, I took a little German beforel moved here and I took Span- ish. I didn't do very well. I thought I was going to get swamped, but I'm doing a lot better than I thought. The German exchange student helps the class a lot. She corrects the teacher, so we learn the right things, and you really get to hear how it soundsg it's like two teachers. The best thing I like about the class is you get to talk a different way, but the worst thing is home work, which we have every night. Exchange Student Tina Gebalt said, The students never ask me for help. I told them if they needed help, I would help themg I really would like to. She added, Most of the time Mr. Poore and I talk in English, but the students talk in German as much as possible. To improve the class, it would help if they practiced every- day for five minutes with simple con- versation. Then they would not be so scared. Poore said he would encourage people to take German to help ex- pand their minds. Spanish Instructor Layne Pannenter said a simple understand- ing ofthe language and enough back- ground for students to take Spanish in college were his biggest goals. Third year student Dana Vercimak said, It was hard to work out of the college notebook, but it will help us pass the AP college test. Foreign language was a lot of work, said Sophomore Lynae War- nick. I took Spanish because most colleges require a foreign language before they let you in. Parmenter used oral lessons and games to practice words or ideas that students had just leamed. He noted, After one year of Spanish, if you went to a Spanish speaking country, you would be totally confused at first. Then after a while, you would under- stand. This year a Span- ish club was organ- ized by the Spanish students. Parmenter said, We wanted a Spanish club to get all the students to- gether to do fun stuff. Also, to moti- vate students to take more than one year of Spanish. We organized the club so the Spanish- students could have a voice in Stu- dent Council. We needed to raise money so the third year Spanish stu- dents could take a trip to Mexico. We want the trip to be a tradition, said Spanish Club President Lynn Stewart. Annette Isom To improve the class, it would help pf they practiced everyday for five minutes with simple conversation. Layne Parmenter Well rounded.

Woodworking class helped many students maintain their eligibility besides being an interesting, hands on experiance. The woodshop classes taught here let me get at least one 'A' on my report card, andl like to take them so I do get that one good grade. The program is excellent quality, it teaches you and lets you work on your own personal projects. I mainly took the class because I liked work- ing with woods, said sophomore Kelly Atchinson. Whether to get a good grade like Atchinson or for a future occupation for sophomore Kael Ashton, wood classes, according to most students are enjoyable. Ashton noted, I want to be a contractor, so wood classes really help me. If there weren't as many people in the classes, Mr. Ehlers would be able to help us more and our projects would be better. I think Woods II is the funnest, be- cause you get to use more tools and you make things that you can be proud of. Wood classes give me an oppor- tunity to be creative. The program here is good, but the shop needs to have more plug ins, so everyone can use one. I like to build big things and Woods I gave me that opportunity, said junior Gayle Peterson. Sophomore Cory Hallam noted, the GPA learn safely how to measure and work the tools in the shop. Wood- shop allows me to build anything I want and the teacher is always there to help. I take wood classes for my enjoy- ment and to learn about all the tools in the shop. The program here at Ly- man is a good one that is well organ- ized.

Hal- lam added, My waterbed was really tough, so I think I'll stick with little projects. Students at LHS were required to take safety tests and know all proper procedures for using the machines. Each had to use goggles and guards as standard safety procedures. Since students at LHS followed these stan- dard procedures there was only one minor accident.
