— pe fr e This is only a small sampling of the countless students who crammed into the administrative offices waiting for necessary schedule changes. s A 1 ۴ ü 8-periods, IMC expand ways for Students to learn - Sweeping changes in courses, materials D. and scheduling greeted students as they | began the 1970-71 school year. Theeight- } period day allowed more flexibility in | course offerings and three instructional | material centers gave students a chance 1 to use fascinating new equipment to pro- ۱ duce their own study aids. With the increased number of periods, students could take any of the ten addi- tional semester courses which were added to the curriculum. Six new courses were offered in the English department, two in social studies, and one each in math- matics and home economics. The art de- partment specialized its courses to a greater extent. A 90-minute lab period was available twice a week for science and shop courses. The physical education department also offered an increased va- riety of activities and scheduled one semester with classes three days a week for each student, while the remaining semester consisted of two-day weeks. The IMC offered numberous new study aids available to teachers and students alike. The equipment included various types of cameras and projection ma- chines, record players, tape recorders, typewriters and copy machines. An added attraction to the materials offered was the shift to supervised individual use of | the study aids. According to Mr. Everett Ritland, assis- tant principal, these changes offered more opportunities to students than ever before, and placed greater emphasis on individualized study. It also tested stu- dents' ability to plan and regulate their own school time. 07 EE | | ut BLISS The library's studious atmosphere is one unchangeable aspect of AHS. 18 em, RE
