Updated Teaching Makes Today's New dimensions of study expanded social science class projects. Students from the new Contemporary Problems class picked a problem and decided not only to discuss it but to actively work against it. Mr. Montoya explained the whole pro- gram. The students were the ones that brought up the whole idea, they found an article in a magazine and excitedly started making preparations with Christian Childrens' Fund Inc. The class soon adopted a sister. Her name was Maria Ana Sabado, she lives in the Philippines and is ten years old. The ninth child and fatherless, her major support came from Bonanza students. For just S15 a month, raised by donations of a quarter a week per student, they supplied her with food, clothing, and education materials. .347'3O3 Aw.

Projects, Teachers, and Equipment jects dealing with everything from micro-biology to botany. Each Zoology student had to collect 100 bugs. Physics stu- dents conducted various types of projects displaying laws and properties present in physics. Life Science and Biology l stu- dents constructed terrariums and cell models out of styrofoam and clay. The Science Department grew with more equipment, classes, and teachers. New equipment consisted of a micro- projector, a specto-photometer, a pH meter, and a volt meter. To accomodate for the expansion in the Science Department, three new teachers were added, Mrs. Baxley was a new Earth and Life Science teacher, Mr. Leigh was a new Earth Science and Biology I teacher, and Mrs. Orr was the new Chemistry teacher. ,if Dt rg t J.

Q. . .,.,, gi 524 ' Si Student More Aware of Tomorrow's World U.S. History gained a new dimension because ofa form of instruction called team teaching. Both classes combined to vividly reinact battles and act out plays to emphasize impor- tant areas of history. Through the instruction and supervision of Mrs. Hargett and Mr. Van Patten, history really came alive for students. It brought a stronger and different point of view from actually seeing it happen rather than just reading about it in fine print out of an enormous book. Leadership I taught by Mrs. Fitzspatrick taught the basic fundamentals ot being a good leader. They brought in speak- ers who expounded on motivation, activation, delagation, and example. Those taking the class were mostly members ot stu- dent government. , I k K 7 wi L . -rf?
