Dedication Plus The Yale Marching Band is a hard working and dedicated group. Under the direction of Miss Shafer, the band always plays during half time at the home football games. The band also puts on a Christmas concert and a Spring Concert. They also play at graduation and in the Memorial Day parade. The band has worked hard this year and the improvement is greatly noticed. A ' Cappella Choir Dazzles Crowd The Yale A ' Cappella Choir is a talented group of students under the direction of Mrs. Sopha. The choir performs a Christmas con- cert each year. This year ' s concert in- cluded traditional carols and religious songs. At their Spring concert, the A ' Cap- pella Choir performed lively music featuring solos and ensembles. Another Choir-sponsored activity is the annual Talent Show. This gives all students the opportunity to de- monstrate their talent. With the assistance of Mrs. Sopha and their own talent and determination, the Yale A ' Cappella Choir is worth seeing. Top: 1981-82 Yale High School Band. Above: Yale Cappella Choir.

South Of The Border In Spanish Class the students learn how to speak, read and write in Spanish. They do this through hard work and practice. They are taught Spanish like we were taught English. But they also h ve a lot of fun learning about Mexico and Spain by film strips, movies and Ms. Sworthwood ' s slides of other class trips to Mexico. Ms. Sworthwood also makes different kinds of fam- ous Spanish dishes which the students get to taste. Spanish is a fun and interesting language to learn. It may also help you in the future. Variety Offered The goals of the English Department are to expose students to a variety of areas in English. There are many different English classes offered this year. The variety includes: American Literature, which is about famous American writers; Humanities, a new class about fine arts; Jour- nalism, which puts out our newspaper and yearbook; Senior College English, which covers proper grammar and Reading Techniques, which helps one read faster and better. These goals of the English Department are reached through working hard and participat- ing in class. Top Right: Spanish teacher , Miss Sworthwood uses the language lab to instruct Spanish I students.

Friendly Secretaries Serve YHS ' s Needs When a person thinks of a secretary, he thinks of someone who types, takes dictation and sets up ap- pointments for the employer, but the average secret- ary at YHS does all this and much more. Mrs. McMurtrie works in the counselor ' s and assis- tant principal ' s office. She must schedule appoint- ments for students with their counselors, help with the grade keeping and mails out the progress reports. In the main office, Mrs. Edgerton and Mrs. Halsey take care of things like answering the phone handing out working papers, locker distribution and schedul- ing appointments. Both women deal with the money exchanges between the clubs and organizations and take inventory at the end of each school year. YHS ' s student body owes their secretaries a big thank-you for helping keep our school running smoothly. Top: Betty and Rose count and record the profits made at the last dance.
