I believe the math dept has accommodated to the changes taking place in our society, especially the changes in the attitudes and life styles of the teenagers. The math dept has designed courses for the students who haveiarithmetic difficulties: a basic math course Cwhich is individualizedl and a general math course. We have a course in mathematical topics which lets the student do his mathematical thing and arrangements have been made with CSM for qualified students to take calculus. ln addition, district math contests are held for students who are interested. Thus, the math dept offers a Wide range of opportunities for each student to fulfill his needs and interests. --james Herbinaux Fo keep pace with the chang- ng science picture, Aragon 04 las innovated, supplement- 'I 3, ed, and adopted many new if rrograms.

The language classes were small but made a lot of noise. Now there are 8 language teachers and over 1000 students. Most freshmen begin in 3-4 and 602, continue into the advanced classes. We have large team -taught classes and small conversation groups. Language classes still make a lot of noise. --J. Cotter Looking back over our ten years as a school, the English staff can find many happy memories in terms of our associ- ations with students and teachers alike. As a department we are fortunate in that we have many teachers who have been with us from the beginning helping lend continuity and tradition to our school. Mr. Rittenour, Mr. Lee. Mr. Knees, Miss Meding, Mr. Bell, Mr. Price, Mr. Shackleton, Mr. Drobac, and Mr. Parker are the old veterans of the department. joining the staff a little later were others who have been with us for many years - Mr. Fisher, Miss Farquharson, Mrs. Ricks. Our new-comers include these young and vibrant teachers: Mr. Keuter, Mr. Kersnar, Mr. Murgo, Mr. Breaux, Miss Bilek, Miss Torkelson, and Mrs. Knight. We are all proud of our school and our department which through these ten years has tried to make English exciting and meaningful to all Aragon students.
