OPS F' '--. TDI'iVBIJS Educatlon COE Driveris Education COE Robin Nuss takes time out of Mar- keting to smile for the camera. Looking for individual attention Marketing and business management are a part of COE. It gives the students a chance to learn more about businesses and prepares them for the working world. It also gives students with the right amount of credits to go to school half-day so they can make a little money outside of school. It also allows some students to graduate half-year. Getting their drivers license is a big deal to most sophomores, but to the upper- classmen it could be scary, knowing that the sophomores are going to start driving to school. It may even make some people leave their cars at home, safe in the ga- rage. , But really, its not all that bad, actually the beginners are more cautious of how they drive while the upperclassmen seem more wreckless with their driving skills. This year the parking in the parking lot got a little out of hand. People would block cars in, causing disruption in the middle of class with people having to go move their cars. Therels just barely enough room to fit all the drivers in the crowded lot. Voters defeated a bond issue which would have improved parking lot condi- tions. Whether votersapprove money in the future for renovation of the parking lot or not, the parking lot problem must be solved. The counselors are very important peo- ple Without them schedule changes at the beginningbf' first and second semester would be mass confusion even more so than the total chaos it already is. The counselors are always busy through the whole year. Something is always going on in the office of Mr. Parker or Mrs. Thorup. They provided helping hands to students who need someone to talk to or maybe a class to be dropped. ttOverall, this year has been fantastic! We got a new computer and we're learning how to use it. It makes things a lot easier to make grade changes or schedule changes, said counselor Kathy Thorup. Front row: Mr. Looney, Christine Lillig, Robin Nuss, Robin Staats, Melissa Buffon.

I Big need f or small departments Donlt call it all fun, ISS can stack up with: work. Sevenhours of no talking and work from seven classes. But to some, no matter' the circumstances, may call it home. Situations such as skipping school and getting caught in the act, can result in ISS. Others laugh because THEY donlt get caught. A few unlucky juniors got caught on Senior Skip Day at Peculiar Park enjoy- ing their own skip day. It was ISS for them with Mr. Paul Cummings. The ISS room out in the trailer will be moved into the building after the new wing is completed. It will signal the end of Katmandu. Mrs. Linda DeVito helps students in the other half of the trailer. Students go to her for help with their schoolwork during study periods. She helps them study for . tests and gives students quiet uninter- ' rupted study time. Her efforts keep $3 WW v N... e w-iwm'unmwwm students who have problems in one or two areas in the mainstream of school ac- tivities. Basic education taught by Mrs. Carol Diaz also helps students who have a harder time adjusting to the regular classroom. Students get much needed individual at- tention in basic areas of English and math. E Special classes are an important part of i the high school curriculum. ' Study, read or just take a break from hectic classes or even escape the lunch- room crowd. Does that give a clue? Its the u library. A place to escape with a goodlbook I or chat quietly with friends while broWsing I the bookcases. l A lot of effort is put in by librarian Mary Dobson, taking care of and tracing books, keeping peace and quiet may not' always be easy. Mrs. Beth Giebler is her assistant. Many events are held in the library- mock trials - mock weddings and re- search for reports for A-Z from various classes.
