Shikellamy advances in new areas Over the past twenty years Shikel- lamy High School has undergone many changes in an effort to improve the qual- ity of education being offered to its stu- dents. These changes have allowed these students to exercise their own ca- pabilities and creativeness. In order to achieve this, many programs have been introduced or upgraded. The Communication Arts Department has set aside a small room for a writing lab. This lab is designed to aid students who wish to improve their writing skills. A department which now utilizes com- puters is the Foreign Language Depart ment. These computers are used by for- eign language students who want to im- prove their language vocabulary. The computer programs include many games which require a knowledge of a foreign language in order to play. Two other improvements outside of the classroom include the modernizing of our library and the creation of the ca- reer resource center. The guidance de- partment has expanded to include an en- tire career resource center for students who seek information about colleges or careers. It contains a computer terminal, films, books and college literature. The present library, which had once been the cafeteria, contains more than just books. It has a computer and a vast amount of microfilm designed to help students re- search virtually any subject they might choose. It also has records and a lounge area for students who want to take a break from their school work. A recent improvement in the Creative Living Department is the creation of a restaurant run by the quanity food stu- dents. They serve a variety of foods to faculty members who want a change from cafeteria food. These major changes, plus the small modifications which have taken place unnoticed, are what will always keep Shikellamy first class in the years to come. Representing the school district for twenty years. Chief Shikellamy reflects the heritage of the region. 2 Theme
