We have been very lucky to secure three new teachers: Mrs. Stone, Mr. Jerry Boteler, in the English section, and Mrs. Babcock in the French section. The addition of many audio and visual aids, has proved to be very effective for more rewarding studies in the language fields here at A.H.S. Mrs. Rountrey explains the subjunctive verbs to her Latin II class. 12

Science Department Innovates To Keep Apace Altavista High School is very proud of its out- standing science department which has always distinguished itself. This year, however, was particularly special. For example, Mrs. Key who has been associated with the school for a number of years, was named “The Outstanding Chemistry Teacher of the Year” by the Virginia Blue Ridge Section of the American Chemical Society. The Science Club has been especially active. Besides C Ba the normal club program they have sponsored 1 Fr Ra Dr. T. E. Leinhardt as speaker for the science — classes as well as part of the monthly club pro- gram. In an effort to make maximum use of each of the varied teachers’ interests and skills, the science department is experimenting with team teaching for the first time. Miss Phillips explains the growth of a twig to her students. Mr. Arthur keeps his cool during his eighth grade science class. 14
