Pons language important in ever ehangzng times Bewildered American Studies student, Kathy Boyd, was helped by Mrs. Greenhoe with a difficult problem concerning English usage. English followed much the same pattern this year as it has in the past. Miss Komadina, creative writingteacher, was in- troduced into the fold. Miss Komadina initiated a creative writing magazine to give students an opportunity to see their work in print. Mrs. Greenhoe remained a favorite with her trusty 3200 books. Mrs. Millheim divided her time between keeping the yearbook staff going and her speech students in good voice. Drama teacher, Lance Lindsey, developed this faction of English to a great degree by producing two all school plays. While Mrs. Pretzer maintained order in her senior English classes, Mr. Watson was busy across the hall with his outdoor English and journalism classes. Teaching staff of the foreign language department con- sisted of four teachers this year. Miss Maya taught advanced and basic Spanish classes. Miss Young handledthe French and Latin classes as well as basic Spanish. Mr. Lindsey continued his Russian courses while Miss Komadina taught German on contract. As the Science staff retained all of its old members the department was concerned with perfecting techniques rather than initiating new ideas. New on the Math scene this year were Mr. Wuest and Miss Hallett with her new course - Data Processing. Mr. Rodgers and Mr. Whipple stayed with their usual methods.

The History department received a lot of new blood this year with the transfusion of three new teachers. For the first time in the History fget it?J of CHS two classes have been combined to create a two-hour block. Mrs. Greenhoe, English teacher, and Mr. Par- tain, U.S. History teacher, combined their efforts to form a new course called American Studies. The em- phasis in this class is placed on group participation and intricate research with close attention paid to correct English usage and detailed factual material. Not only are the students expected to do various difficult History assignments, but they must keep up with their English as well. Twelve units of 3200 had to be completed, cre- ative writing stories were written, and the class delved into the history of western literature as well. For those students not interested in this block class, traditional United States History was offered, taught by Mr. Sampson. Mrs. Shoaf and Mr. Sampson had to goit alone in the Arizona History department as classes filled to the point of overload in this required subject. Mrs. Ferguson was another new body on the History scene. She was especially popular with the seniors who were required to pass her civics course as a prerequisite for graduation. Mrs. Ferguson and her classes got involved in topic reports during the first semester. Students chose a topic for in depth study. Another one of Mrs. Ferguson's new ideas was her idea of having the students write down a thought for the week. Students gvotiso involved with their political ideas they decided to start their own club which they named Youths for Democracy. Mr. Sampson and Mrs. Ferguson were club co-ordina- tors and a major help in getting the club off the ground. Seniors studying our Government were often faced with puzzling problems. Here Mrs. Ferguson effectively dealt with such a problem. Mr. Renning worked with one of his basic social studies stu- dents on one of the many problems concerning history.
