LIBRARY, AV Usage of library, AV materials by students increases We've noted an increase in the use of the audio visual materials by stu- dents, said Mr. Jesse Lundy, head librarian. This year we have more re- cords, tapes films and an increase of about 5O'Zn on usage of these materials. Definite plans are made to have micro- film available for students next year. The students we have had working with us are good examples of what's right with the younger generation, said Dr. Bob Hoehn, AV director. This year Sahuaro had a TV Production class 88 ACADEMICS: CU RRI CU LUM which worked with different classes filming and then running the film back so the class would see their mistakes. He also started a mini-course in Feb- ruary for TV Production, before school. There were 14 students in the class and experienced students taught it. Under Dr. Hoehn and teachers aid Mrs. Walter's Library Production made post- ers for school activities, tapes, vidio films, lettering for signs, film- ing basketball games, and many audio- visuals for use in the classroom.

Algebra 3H was a compact course of second-year algebra, trigonometry. and analytic geometry-pre-calculus class. The thirty-six students enrolled were able to learn two years of math in one because they had the ability and the desire to advance at a faster pace than most students.
