THE SECRET RIAL STAFF ND NURSE FOUND THEIR SERVICES GRE TLY NEEDED It isn't often you find people as dedicated to their jobs as our understanding nurse Mrs. Wilcox and the four working women who make up our secretarial staff. Always willing to help, Mrs. Wilcox took the time to talk to students and offer friendly advice. She gave short lectures in health classes, and was a reliable source of information to students. With student visitors totaling forty-five to fifty a day, Mrs. Wilcox was kept on her toes. Much of her work is basic first aid, cuts, burns, and following up on doctors prescriptions, and she also played an important role in the care and comfort of a quadriplegic student. Sometimes Mrs. Wilcox doesn't know whether she worked in a nurse's office or a storage room, where everything from hockey equipment to a baby boa constrictor has been kept. Working ten to five was a new addition to the secretary staff, Mrs. Kind. After transfering from Tanana Jr. High, Mrs. Kind worked as Mrs. Webbls personal secretary. Helping out with the attendance boards since 1976, Mrs. Hyatt has been an efficient secretary. Working behind the scenes was Mrs. Pratt filing transcripts and sending student records to colleges and universities all over the United States. Head secretary Mrs. Snyder controls all the money that flows in or out of West Valley. She writes up the purchase orders and anything that deals with West's big bucks . Mrs. Snyder also works as Mr. Rogers' personal secretary. These women are dedicated to helping students' and administrations' needs and wants. This attitude is greatly appreciated here at West Valley. A snappy joke by Mrs. Wilcox makes Adam Foltz' ear examination a little easier. 204 NURSE! SECRETARIAL STAFF , . Q . 1 ' A 44 B9 f if 5' N s.

THE CURRICULUM T WEST F LFILLED A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL NEEDS In a time when the basics of education were becoming more important, the Math and Science Departments of West Valley met the challenge by continually expanding their programs. The Math Department, headed by Mr. Don DeWitt, offered math classes of every level, from Basic Math for those students who were less mathematically inclined, to A.P. Math for those who were more suited to this field of study. To further meet student's needs and to keep pace with an ever- changing society, the Math Department expanded their Computer Programming course from one class to three classes. Moving right along with the Math Department was the Science Department headed by Ms. Deborah Pomeroy. The Science Department offered a wide range F ...xii . 'self of classes to meet student's needs, from Basic Life and Earth Science to A.P. Chemistry and Biology. To satisfy student's further, the biology section was expanded to include two A.P. Biology classes. During the year one could have observed the diversity of these programs by the many activities that took place, including dissections, chemistry, labs, or a computer program at work. Among the new equipment which the Math Department received was most notably the Apple, a new computer terminal for the Computer Programming and Science Departments at West Valley. Students could now keep pace with a changing society. Computer programming teacher Mr. Reed demonstrates the versltility of the Apple. 206 MATH AND SCIENCE Math and Science teacher Bill Montgrain answers questions asked by students. Carl Holzmueller passes back graded homework as Nancy Winford hurriedly scribbles some last-minute notes.
