LIONEL BROWN HABLO ESPANOL? I DO! A teacher must introduce students to something they aren't acquainted with. Spanish I is the be- ginning class to understanding the Spanish lan- guage.

Fluency in speaking and comprehensive reading of masterpieces are part of Spanish III and IV. Brown has an extensive educational back- ground. He has attended four colleges: St. Joseph Junior College, InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico, Northwest Missouri State University at Maryville, and the University of Iowa at Ames.

MAN VERSUS MACHINES ve . ruff' 3 he Larry Dannar teaches Biology I and II, Small Gas Engines and Welding class. Biology I students studied the reproduction system and had to learn the muscles and bones of the body. Biology II, an advanced class of Bilogy I, did independent experiments on a variety of subjects such as sex hormones in fish, diets in rats, ESP, and biorliythms. Going from man to machines was a big switch when Dannar taught small Gas Engines and Welding. Small Gas Engines students were taught makeup of small gas engines and con- structed their own from lawn mowers, while the Welding classes learned the basics of welding. Dannar attended Northwest Missouri State University and Drake University where he ma- jored in Biology and AG. He holds a bachelor of science degree and master of science de- gree ln secondary education. Dannar states, It has been a good year with many new things happening to keep teaching interesting. 1. Dannar takes some time out in the office. 2. Snake-handling is becoming a tradition at THS. 3. Checking your blood type and growing bean sprouts tends to dirty up Dannar's sink. KKK l
