The secretaries keep things run- ning smoothly by taking phone calls, using the computers for the atten- dance and handling of attendance problems. The benefits of being a secre- tary is talking with everyone and seeing the students everyday, says Mrs. lda Gerber, secretary to Mr. Buckley. Besides the secretarial staff, the school nurses, Mrs. Lynda Flora and Mrs. Delores Philley, also enjoy their job by keeping the stu- dents fit and healthy. At the begin- ning of the year they did health screening with things such as the hearing and vision tests. Another group on campus deals with the students because they are the security guards. The security guards feel that they benefit from their job by helping students with their problems. The advantage is talking and seeing all the students everyday. The security guards use their walkie talkies to determine the location of the other security. This is the first year that they have used them and they find them very use- ful.

Engli h department works on Mrs. Jeri Toal Department Chairman . .Wx Mrs. Sue Bardon Mrs. Nadine Freiberg Mrs. Cathy Flesner UE5 Overall, the English students are well prepared, have better composition skills than in the past years and seem to have a positive attitude about English, said Mrs. Jeri Toal, Department Chairper- son. This year's main goal is working on CUES, Comprehensive Unified Educational Skills, and a test for the Junior level to be implemented next fall. They are also in the pro- cess of collecting samples of stu- dent writing for a composition guide booklet for students. Mr. Ben Jordan, a retired English teacher and a former Department Chairman from the Phoenix Union District, is working with Sopho- more composition classes one day a week and finds students cooper- ative and respectful. As in the past, the English de- partment has a cooperative and congenial group of teachers who are very dedicated to their profes- sion and enthusiastic about teach- ing English, complimented Mrs. Jeri Toal, The Foreign Language depart- ment started out with new courses such as Latin l-2, German 3-4 and Russian I-2. These courses enable students to learn more about the language, culture and customs. A Seniors, Sheryl Azbill, Nancy Ryan, Isabelle Friesen and Remo Neri work hard to keep up their grades in Advanced Placement English. .yprf Mrs. Dorothy Gomez Mr. Les Leiter Mrs. Linda Mowahed Mrs. Lee Moline
