The evil grin on Jack Hartman ' s face indicates that there is something other than French 3 on his mind. The expressions on the faces of Greg Hancock, Mike Pace, Colleen Dalglish show their varied degrees of interest in Spanish 5 assimilations. 25

Teachers unpack Returning from their student-free summer vacations, the foreign language teachers bravely fought their way into the cramped quar¬ ters of the language office. They were met by carton after carton of long awaited new textbooks. Confusion prevailed as the teach¬ ers attempted to sort the books, only to find that quite a few were missing. The students thought that they couldn ' t have class without books, but the teachers quickly proved them wrong through the frequent use of slides and lab sheets. Advanced foreign lan¬ guage students quickly adapted to the format of the new texts, while the first year students con¬ tinued to ask the same routine questions. During the school year, plans were made for a trip abroad to be taken by a few students under the leadership of Mrs. Lynch. Await¬ ing these trips made the year a little shorter for the students in the foreign language classes. As Miss Wolfenden considers the translation of a Spanish verb Jane Minyard daydreams. Concentrating on her bingo in French lab, Anne Craighead seems unaware of the photographer. 24

Math is a package deal . . . Learning Packages forced Math Survey students to work indepen¬ dently. The packages consisted of a pre-test on which the students had to score 95 or above, two pages of exercises and readings from textbooks, and a post-test. With only eight seniors taking Math Analysis, Mr. Basham found the year quite enjoyable, but some of the students had a diffi¬ cult time since the course ex¬ posed them to some college math. Other Math students found them¬ selves caught in a maze of home¬ work assignments. Students tak¬ ing Math 9 were introduced to some basic principles of Algebra while Geometry students were confused and aggravated from the many hours spent memo¬ rizing and proving theorems. Algebra One, Algebra Two, and Advanced Algebra and Tri¬ gonometry students were bound to the textbooks solving problems that dealt with equations with two variables, difficult slope equa¬ tions, and ratios of cosines and sines. To the joy of many students, M. Basham headed the Math Depart¬ ment teaching staff and Mrs. Jones returned after a two year absence. Mrs. Billings was the only department newcomer. In December the Math Department sponsored three outstanding stu¬ dents from Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, and Math Analysis classes in the Math Rally Competition at Radford College. Taking an Algebra Two test requires deep concentration and headache pains, as Kathy Worley exemplifies. 26
