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.

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

To this end, the department offered a variety of music courses with a variety of musical experiences within each. The T967-68 Carl Hayden Music Department, under the new leadership of Don Bothwell, aimed to provide each music student with many special appearances. The Falcon Varsity Marching Band, directed by Mr. Bothwell, performs at preegames, half-time programs, and assemblies. They captured their audiences attention with their new and complicated marching formations. They fas- cinated their listeners with the variety of their music. The bands programs ranged from the exciting and moving tunes of Tiiuana Brass to the soft melodies of Yesterday and Michelle , After many weeks of hard rehearsing, the band was awarded an excellent rating on Band Day at Arizona State University. Vocal music, under the direction of a new leader, Mrs. Mary Wilson, added sounds of classical music to Carl Hayden. They performed for concerts, assemblies, and numerous other services. s,'r5 Orchestra, under the direction of District Music Consul- tant Beryl Folks, found means of musical expression which ranged from Swing to Haydn. Members spent extra hours in informal musical groups who played for clubs and groups around the valley, including the Kiwanis Club and awards luncheon. In December, the combined music department performed a Christmas Concert, The Many Sounds of Christmas. Versatility was the key to the vocal music programs, seen in their presentation of the Hallelujah Chorus and the Jingle Bell Rock in the same program. The old Christmas favorite Silent Night was sung in English, Spanish, and German.
