French classes brought into the curriculum for the first time. Miss Lisa Bornhoft taught four French I classes and one combined Spanish class. were 12 For On Language goodies While Room Ervm.

Jennifer Okada. Brent Sydow, and Anthony Medina work Intensely on their typing practices. Mrs. Stemo lectures to her second hour class about new typing methods. Christine Kelly practices her typing speed. The business department was made up of Computer Science l-ll, Typing Ml and III, Accounting Ml, General Business, Consumer Problems, and Shorthand. The school year of 1984-85 started out with four new types of typewriters. BOE (Business Office Education) and Business Machines classes work on these types of typewriters. Shelly Branham and Terri Altergott worked in BOE on the new typewriters. They said, “It helps us if we’re in the process of typing a very long business letter. The typewriter has a memory so we can store things that we have already typed in the typewriter.” Word Processing was an independent study course. Mr. Nye taught the course. His students are Deanna Teter, and Sherry Lin-nebur. They also worked on the new typewriters. This class offered these two students the practice of various types of procedures used in the business world. Academics 11

Trade Holland and Julie Gettman enjoy a crepe while Sean Wagner. Jeff Cooksey, and Troy Patton look on. There were different reactions of students after having French for three quarters. Here is how some kids felt about it: LiSa Young said, It’s hard but if you pay attention and study, it can be an easy class. It’s different. When you look at some of the words, they’re the same as English but pronounced different.” Kristy Huhman said, It is a unique kind of class that you have to get used to. At the end of the year it was fun. I’m taking it next year too.” Miss Bornhoft said that French was not for everyone. She said, It’s for people who plan on going to college or for ones who plan on going further with French. It takes an elite group of individuals to succeed in it. It takes a lot of dedication to get the writing, grammer, and speaking down.” She also said that most kids took French because it was a new thing. Next year there will be more variety. There will be more classes. For example, there will be French II, Spanish II and Spanish III classes. This will make the classes smaller and easier to work with,” she said. Foreign Language 13
