Boys And Girls Get Together For Gym Continuing witli the co-ed- ucational classes instituted last year, G. V. ' s physical ed- ucation program is very suc- cessful. It provides students with an opportunity to parti- cipate in many sports. Through this elective program students have fun in a more relaxed at- mosphere with more student- teacher contact contributing to the learning experience. Gym rounds out our education. Ultimate Frisbee was a new game introduced to upper- classmen this spring. Volleyball- the thrilling sport that people can ' t seem to get enough of (at least, the gym teach- ers can ' t. ) Students can learn the rules, the pla- dng tech- niques, and the form of tennis in gym classes during the fall and spring. Here Lies . . . Responsibility For The District Dr. Dale Tyson is our superintendent. He is at the top of the administrative ladder in the district. The school board is the governing body of the school dis- trict. Their role is vital since they hold final responsibility for all actions within the district. During monthly meetings the community is able to find out what is happening in the school system and also to voice their opinions. Communica- tions between students and school board improved this year through two Meet the School Board Evenings. E li.

The first step in buliding a dome is to lay out the base. Neither Michele Gardner-Smith nor Mr. Snyder seem very sure about what they ' re doing. Gifted Students Build Dome Under a new interpretation of the special ed. laws it became neccessary this year to provide a special program for students of exceptionally high ability. The program this year was designed to supplement rather then replace the usual curriculum. The gifted program offered students a chance to learn in ways not frequently encountered in the usual high school situation, centering on four types of strategies for acquiring knowledge. The theme changed the second semester when Utopian Society was the theme. The students read and discussed Utopian literature in order to develop the ethics, mores, and values of such a society. Once this was accomplished they worked on designing housing, cities, energy systems, and transportation to support and maintain that ideal life style. Geodesic domes and solar energy are specific exam- ples of topics the students explored. Here Steve Zucker bolts a strut to a hub. The hubs are what hold the dome togeth- er. The last bolt is tightened and the dome is together! A skin for the dome was constructed.

Thanks To Our Staff It ' s possible to spend four full years at Great Valley and never learn the names of some of the people who really make it run efficiently. How many students know the names of the secretaries who keep every- thing in order, the janitors who keep everything clean, and the cafeteria workers who feed the hungry masses? These dedica- ted servants who are never in the spotlight deserve much ap- preciation and many grateful thanks. Who really runs Great Valley? Anyone in the know knows that it ' s not Dr. Esbrandt or Mr. Kase. It ' s Mrs. Garri- son. This capable sec- retary can answer just about every question about just about everything. Brian: as we usually see him. Mrs. Meledy doesn ' t look like she believes Kathy Nolan is really sick. Dom is always helpfvil. Mrs. Jackson is an attendence secretary. Mrs. Price and Mrs. Kehr prepare lunch. 118 Academics
