Seeking Out The Spanish Speaking World First year Spanish students invested in a new book. Mr. Harkins thought the next text was an improvement over the previous series. This text is geared more to a high school level and it also has a greater saturation of Span- ish. Spanish ll students continued with the ALM textbook se- ries . They learned to con- verse in tenses of Spanish as well as expanding their vo- cabulary. Spanish Ill class met on Mondays and Wednesdays . The third year students ac- complished the remaining tenses and specialized in short stories. The Seniors reviewed ad- vanced grammar and read novels on Tuesdays and Thursdays . Then on Fridays Spanish Ill and IV combined to view films of interest, play Spanish learning games, or listen to Spanish speaking visitors . Reading Spanish comic books are sophomores Eric Moe and Joe Keller- hals . -fini, r 1 ai Q! 'v

Nm Q? i'f - .-, -'-,,,.-.ns A 3 .L+ Building A Future The Agriculture department continued its program under its new instructor, Mr. Keith Lauritzen. Many dif- ferent phases of agriculture are being taught this year, giving students a wide selec- tion of courses . First is the Ag. Co-op course. Students spend much of their time working, by obtaining a job relating to agriculture, and the other portion is spent in the class- room. Ag. I is a course de- signed mainly to give fresh- men students an overall con- cept of agriculture. In Ag. ll, students also receive more of a basic type training by studying such things as livestock, crops, soils, re- cords, and feed rations . Ag. Ill-IV goes into the manage- ment of a farm, along with its business aspects . This course for juniors and sen- iors deals with such things as taxes, farm records, and farm insurance. Another course offered is the small engines and metals class . Much shopwork and practical experience is acquired in this course. Basic Horticul- ture is also offered, giving students the opportunity to learn about vegetables , trees, flowers and flower arrangements, and other modern horticultural issues . Mr. Avery is the Industrial Arts instructor and teaches two phases of it. ln Industri- al Arts I, students work with electrical wiring, blueprint- ing, drafting, and wood- working. Industrial Arts Il strives mainly to give stu- dents a background in house wiring, advanced drafting and woodworking, and sheet metal work.
