fl Neuj Lingo ' Q uenos dias.” “C’est la vie.” O “Veni, vidi. vici.” Phrases such as these made their debut into many students ' vocabularies. Along with these new dialects, students were also introduced to adventurous stories of Spain, France, and Italy. The source of their new knowledge? The world of foreign language. While approximately a hundred and twenty-five students took advantage of the elective languages offered. reasons varied for taking a differ¬ ent lingo. Kay Ivey stated, “I took French because I wanted to take a- nother language to add to my Latin.” A new teacher at Suffolk High, Mrs. Jackson, organized activities such as French games and carols or cook¬ ing French delicacies such as crepes and omlettes. Another modern language offered was Spanish. To increase students’ interests in Hispanic studies, Mrs. Alwood formed a trip to Mexico for Spanish II and IV students during the spring break. For her beginning students, she initiated the “adopt a country” program, where students selected a Spanish country for extensive study. Another alternative was the lan¬ guage of the ancient scholars, Latin. Miss Brinkley strived to teach students tales of Roman heroes, mythological gods, and Caesar.

ULIhot FI Difference e verything was different. Mrs. Joyce Mauck, thanks to the addi¬ tion of Mr. David Woolwine, was able to teach more Earth Science classes rather than Chemistry as she had in past years. Her classes ventured into the stars by studying astronomy and solar energy. Mr. Woolwine taught two classes, Physics.and Chem¬ istry; then he went to John Yeates where he taught more high school classes. Mr. Woolwine often said that his classes should have taken Home Economics instead of Chemistry because instead of measuring out chemicals in grams, they added a pinch of this, a dash of that. How¬ ever, their calculations usually came out right. Miss Debbie Leavitt, the new Biology teacher, felt it was im¬ portant to study the seasons. She had her students observe signs of the coming of winter. Miss Sally Butler, the only held- over teacher from last year’s math department, taught Consumer Math, IMS, and Algebra II. For Mrs. Barbara Woolwine, a new math teach¬ er, instructing high school classes was a new experience. During the past few years she taught at a junior high school in Hampton. “Mrs. Woolwine has been a real asset to the department ... a lot of ener¬ gy,” said Miss Butler. Mrs. Lena Small was the other new addition. In biology, Lisa Stanley and Debra Akers examine specimens.
