Advanced of dvanced Placement T History was introduc- ed to Terry this year. lt took the place of the Gifted and Talented Program which had been offered in previous years. Taught by Mr. Stavinoha and Coach McNair, the course prepared students in the eleventh and twelfth grades to earn credit for a college history course. Although the course did not give the students more high school credit, or more grade points, it allowed them to place out of 50 ff.- 1 if , , l llll ,f 1 ' ' l,lfi T Mr. Stavinoha and seniors Trey ,t,' - O'Conner and Shannon Krummery P play rabbit ears after learning the daily lesson. people . freshman college courses. At the end of the year, the students took an advanced placement test. lf the students made an accep- table score on the test, they had the chance to present this to several colleges that granted credit and ap- propriate placement. Mr. Stavinoha said it was a good idea, although it was somewhat difficult to organize. The AP History course was very advan- tageous for all the students that were enrolled.

These classes were designed to in- troduce basic information needed in the business world. ln record-keeping the students were given the opportunity to ex- amine and use business and ac- counting techniques to better develop an awareness of today's record-keeping procedures. This was also true of the ac- counting course which was offered to make the students aware of the need for keeping financial records. This course introduced application of accounting fundamentals as they are used in bookkeeping. Typing was offered to students in grades 9-12 and taught the students Typing is a skill that Mrs, Bailey's class will learn all year around, 52 to type at a rate of 30 to 50 words 5 per minute. lt allowed them to develop the skill to an acceptable degree of accuracy for personal as well as business use. Shorthand was a course that in- ,. troduced the principles of reading and writing shorthand. It was a valuable course, for shorthand is an important skill needed to secure employment in a wide range of business occupations. All of these courses aided tremendously in the development of the students as wiser consumers. Both male and female were in- volved in these courses which brought about a sense of competi- tion that helped to prepare the students entering the business world of today. lil 1 if 4 cassava-Wi aw it - 11 93'
