Mania Business of Organization sets worthwhile standards Accounting, typing, and busi- ness rnatti made up the 1987-88 business courses offered at WHS. These courses will be very beneficial to the students in the future. Students can use the skills they learned from these courses in their career choice, in everyday life. Students can use typing for job resumes. Busi- ness math can be used for budgeting salary, or for figuring the cost of goods. Lynn Craven, junior, stated, Accounting I will be very beneficial in any area ! decide to go into. Most students enjoyed the business courses, however, there seemed to have been a large quantity of work. Students said they struggled all year to get their work in on time. In business math, Mrs. Southers gave students a warm-up exer- cise everyday, and they had at least two homework as- signments each day. Steve Yach, senior, said, The work we do in business math is easy, but the amount and the way in which we do it gets monotonous day after day. The Typing I class was pres- sured to do production work with every unit. Stacy Taylor, sophomore, stated, Typing I is frustrating, but I enjoyed it. At the end of the year, the Ac- counting I class rushed around to do their simulation problem. J - Soniofs, Ch:is Thixlon, Jamie Lux. and Jack White, brag aoout thecr hard work.

Photo by Branden Boise Seniors excel Seniors were given the opportunity to earn an extra credit of math by taking a relatively new class entitled senior math topics. This course was offered any hour that is suitable for the student and Mr. Gillman. It lasted a semester, but students were eligible to take it two semesters in a row, if they wished. Seniors who took this course had the opportunity to choose which specific field of mathematics they wished to learn more about. It was a class which included almost all aspects of math on which information was available. Some of the fields available included analytic geometry, trigonometry, Algebra III, probability, statistics, number theory, set theory, and any other topic that there was information on. Three seniors took math topics: Chris Thixton, Jack White, and Jamie Lux. I took it because I couldn ' t take pre- calculus and I wanted another math credit to prep are myself for college, said Chris Thixton. Jack White replied, I took it because there wasn ' t anything else to do second hour and it is very interesting. It also helps me at math contests. 4 75 X
