Teachers dea with class load Dealing with a staff of two full time and three part time teachers, the Driver's Education and Health Department, took on a heavy schedule. Due to a load of approximately 850 freshmen taking the re- quired course, Ken lsrael, driv- er's education and health teacher, stated that there were approximately 35 students in each class. According to Mr. lsrael, how- ever, the faculty had no problem keeping up with the increase in students taking the course. We haven't run into any serious problems yet, com- mented Mr. lsreal when asked about the heavy load. ln the health classes, the stu- dents were exposed to a variety of controversial subjects that were not described in the text- books, such as AIDS facquired immune difficiency syndromel research.

The teachers used a variety of other materials including films, lec- tures, and pamphlets from vari- ous medical research centers. Students in the driver's educa- tion classes were taught the im- portance of good driving habits taught early in their driving ex- perience. They learned the rules of the road, as well as the consequences of making even small judgement errors. Many films were viewed on the impor- tance of safety, and the necessity of seat belts. The students also studied the handbook given out by the California Department of Motor Vehicles. The driver's eduction classes also worked diligently to uphold the SADD fStudents Against Driving Drunkl organization that was established the previous year. by Nicole Tuft .Photos by Darrin Coe ald his lecture on venereal diseas- es. 3.

Business add four computers Students in the business de- partment were faced with an added dimension when four new Apple ll E computers were pur- chased to help increase students' learning abilities with business applications. The computers were being intergrated in total curriculum of the Business Department so students would become more computer literate. The computers we bought helped finish out the computer lab. Also, we have more printers for word processing. That way, everyone in the Business Depart- ment can use them, said Linda Stiehr, Business Department co-chairperson. Altogether the Business De- partment had 20 computers. They were either bought through the school or through the Class- room Teacher lnstructional lm- provement Program KCTIIPJ grants. Keyboarding classes worked on typing basics, while the accounting, recordkeeping, and office practice worked on ad- vanced business techniques. Meanwhile, Lorraine Lau, Bu- siness Law teacher, had special plans for her class. For example, she taught students' rights and a little about criminal laws. Business Law tells the stu- dents of their rights and when they should or should not hire a lawyer, she said. by Kimberly Banghart vw, ,... KR sift. 1.
