New classes add changes in department Coinciding with the new Italian and Japanese classes which were introduced in the 1986-87 school year, two new classes were added once again. These classes were Japanese 2 and Italian 2. The Japanese and Italian classes proved to be very successful, according to Tony Young, Foreign Language Department chairperson. Most of my family speaks the language lltali- anI, said Roger Schiaffino, a second year Italian student, and I wanted to take advantage of the class while I could, rather than taking it as a college course. The new classes were useful to many students, considering their future and goals. I decided to take Japanese because it was something new and it seemed to be exciting, said Josie Luna. I planned to use it in the future and when I go to Japan. Each language had its difficult and easy points, said Mr. Young. French is the hardest language to pronounce, Japanese is hardest to write, Italian has the most irregularities, German has the most grammar, and Spanish had a verb tense for every day of the year, said Mr. Young. 0ur department IForeign Languagel was very appreciative of the support of the administration, counseling staff, and the community, said Mr. Young. lt Iforeign Languagei was the most supportive department I ever worked with. Other languages that have possibilities of be- coming classes in the Foreign Language depart- ment in the future, according to lVIr. Young, were Russian, Chinese, Latin, and Greek. by Kristy Mays photos by Leroy Lambert 1. Susan Peek, French teacher, shows Bryan Parkerson how to tell time in French. 2.

Auto students expand skills Due to the additional space, Rod Gaines, auto shop teacher, moved his first year students into the agricultural shop which enabled the students to gain actual experience on how to repair a car. This change let the class actually work on a car and lessen their book work, said Bob Dinkel, Industrial Arts chairperson. Another change was a new hot tank that was bought to clean the tools so materials could be used OVQF. Other additions were homeplanning drafting and woodworking for homemakers. These courses were being taught by Peter Purdy, drafting and woodshop teacher. Added to the teaching staff for the department were Mike Murphy who taught one advanced woodshop course and Ron Dygert who handled four woodshop classes and a healthfsafety course. The department also tested the students' ability to read, write, and do math. By doing this, the state would issue funds for the department. Next year, I hope to get computers for the drafting department and an architecture land- scaping course added to our program, said Mr. Dinkel. Another hope for Mr. Dinkel was to set up a second year welding class in the future. I also would like to have Industrial Arts be a fine arts requirement next year, said Mr. Dinkel. by Angelica Bautista photos by Leroy Lambert A1 I ,,,,,A ' 'rt c f 1- Y N. x A ' WT .. lg. 1 x ., ...,,,,,,,.:,T,,x.
