A third year French course is being offered at Carl Hayden forthe first time. Third year students studied French Ge- ography and History. They also studied intensified grammar and reading anal- ysis. This course allows a student more freedom in creative writing. Third year French students went to the art museum and also saw several plays and movies spoken entirely in French. This year three tape recorders, four record players, and several different pra- iectors were added to the Foreign Lan- guage Department. This new equipment has enabled teachers to instruct students in the more technical points of language structures. Foreign Language students who are recommended by their teachers may take a college test which enables them to earn up to twelve college language credits for a college degree. Mrs. Norma Redman, in a classroom discussion, tells students that learning to coniugate a Spanish verb is not really so difficult as it seems to first year students. ,. .V , .,, 1,3 il '. f f'T '--W.

Students who are participating have these courses during periods 2 and 3. This block program provides flex- aloility and enables instructors to show full length films such as Patch of Blue , Lilies of the Field , and Jane Eyre . Each film presented to the students demonstrates problems of contemporary society and how they can be dealt with. Alcoholism, preiudice, and narcotics addiction were some maior topics of films. For a Christmas proiect, the stu- dents donated time to make a hap- pier Christmas for children in the Maricopa County Child Development Center, students were excused from morning classes for one day each to go to the center and help care for the children. They also filled Christ- mas stockings and presented a skit, complete with Santa and reindeer, for a children's Christmas Party. A new film proiector and record player was added to the department during 1967-68. Each teacher also received an overhead proiector. .1

These students were chosen by their reading ability. They're striving for concepts and theories other than facts, though based on actual information. Approximately 450 frogs died at the hands of Falcon Biology students this past year. Crayfish, flatworms, and starfish were also dissected in Right: Denzil Solomon watches for effects on a hamster during an experiment on glue sniffing.

Students have ,participated in ex- periments on glue sniffing and how it effects a living hamster. Tobacco and alcohol were studied for their effects on the human body. Microscopes and other materials were bought for the Accelerated Bi- ology classes. The total cost of new equipment was 56,000. Harvard Proiect Physics is a new experimental course that has been added to the Science Department this year. The course is unique be- cause it gives the students scientific background with emphasis on the history of the development of the physical laws and philosophies. This approach is valuable because it shows scientific discoveries 'of the past. 'J
