Beth Tuttle practices her signs as Sammy Wood looks on. Sign Language has become more popular than ever before this year because one of our senior boys, Sammy Wood, is deaf. The class worked hard so they could learn to communicate with Sammy and were busy interpreting for him. So the hand gestures are not fight¬ ing, but a language among our stu¬ dent body. The entire student body has been encouraged to learn our school Alma Mater since our games are also attended by deaf adults. Woodland Christian School is the only private school in our area that has sign language as a sub¬ ject and also involvement with the deaf community. Two of our past graduates had deaf parents and we appreciate their support to our school as they shared in our activi¬ ties through the years. By instructing in sign language, Nancy Ash¬ ley shared her talent with others. Sign Language 67

Learning to Communicate The Foreign Language Club is sponsored by Mrs. Loida Fletcher and Mrs. Mary Young. To start the year off, the club had bake sales for financial support of the future events. As their income increased, the members prepared a big din¬ ner of Spanish and Latin food. In December, they caroled to foreign¬ ers in Spanish and Latin. They also participated in a Christmas program for the school. Though most of the Foreign Language Club’s events concern the languages of Spanish and Lat¬ in, other languages were explored. They invited guest speakers to their meetings and held a Foreign Language Day at Piedmont Bible College in the spring. The club consists of both Spanish and Lat- While decorating the room for a meeting, in students, making it quite diversified. Tammy Combs adjusts a poster.

Making Education A Career Checking some stored material, John Hig- gens and Angela Lawson learn how our li¬ brary works. Randy Hauser, Greg Felts, and Brian Wil¬ liams take some notes to use for reference. The card file is a major part of any refer¬ ence room. Here Mrs. Bowers explains how it is used. The Library Club is sponsored by Mrs. Jean Bowers. It is con¬ cerned with learning how a library runs and works from day to day. The members have used the pro¬ ceeds from candy sales to go out to eat and go on various field trips. A trip to the High Point Library proved to be a very enlightening excursion. The club also toured the Z. Smith Reynolds Library on the campus of Wake Forest Uni¬ versity. Back at the school, they studied the operation of a Chris¬ tian High School library. 68 Library Club
