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

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.

This principle Theory was projected To students by simplifying The basic principles in all math courses. The team Teaching introduced to Hayden last year was employed as students heard combined lectures and profiled from The use of overhead projec- tors. This Technique allowed one Teacher To be free Tor individual instruction. Reasoning, understanding, and logic were empha- sized rather Than skills. Class participation verbally was encouraged as was a knowledge of math Terminology. These processes gave The students a more knowledg- able background ancl understanding in The field of mathematics, - 1 i i X Left: James Tipton, Algebra teacher, shows an attentive student some basic math procedures in an afternoon session.
