Why does the sun go down so Students at Greenhill are involved in Science courses at virtually every level, from Kindergarten to the twelfth grade. Through these courses they study patterns, natural laws, environmental interactions, and laboratory experiences, which coupled with field trips, help integrate the world of Science into the expanding world of every student. Integration with their other courses at school is also emphasized. Science teachers pay particular attention to the development of reading and writing skills. Mathematics is necessary at most levels, and the Science and Math teachers :oordinate their goals. The most fundamental skills in Science - skeptical observation and analysis - are carefully fl'- SCIENCE I now, an early riser, love to hail the dreamy struggles of the stars with light, and the recovering breath of earth sleep-drowned awakening to the wisdom of the sun. Phillip James Bailey Festus nurtured throughout the curriculum. Finally, the joy of learning about the world we live in is a key element in the teaching of Science at Greenhill.

Mathematics But who can count the Stars of Heaven? Who sing their influences on this Lower World? 79 Thomson Seasons Win ter In Mathematics, a primary objective is to generate true excitement in learning for each student. Last year we renewed a commitment to implement I John 3:18 . . . let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth. By our behavior as teachers, we leave no doubt in our students' minds that our love and concern is genuine. It's easy to get excited when there is someone who cares and thinks what you do is important. The next source ofexcitement is high expectations. Students perform up to the level of teacher's expectations. We work to lift our expectations to the highest level reasonable for the particular students abilities. It is exciting to know someone believes in you and EXPECTS nothing less than your best. The third way we generate this excitement is through being enthusiastic about our subjects and for learning in general. Perhaps the best experience for a teacher is to be a student again. Ifour students can see us as tlife-time' learners, we have taught the best possible lesson. In the last two years many Greenhill math teachers have been active learners. While the computer area leads in popularity, several teachers are working toward advanced degrees. I have enjoyed the ultimate thrill of taking the course I'm teaching. I know I am a better teacher for it. Excitement is 'caught' more than taught and the math department is very contageous. Mr. Wesley Kittleman Chairman M.A. S.M.U.

FINE ARTS . . . Here will we sit, and let the sound of music, creep in our ears, soft stillness and the night become the touches of sweet harmony? William Shakespeare Merchant of Venice FINE ARTS IS EVERYWHERE! Activities in Music, Art, Drama, and Forensics enrich Greenhill students daily. The Fine Arts courses are fully integrated within each academic discipline. Each year, students' skills in the arts expand, based upon a curriculum built from pre-school through twelfth grade. Life-long appreciation of the arts is the goal of the Fine Arts Department. Mr. Michael Manes - Chairman MA Southwest Seminary Mr. Chris Altendorf BA U.T.A. Mrs. Patty Edwards MA North Texas State Univ. Mrs. Sheryl Ellis BFA T.C.U. Through intergrated units such as Medieval Week and Renaissance Day, students see how the arts are an important part of history. Musicals, art shows, forensic competitions, concerts, plays, the ISAS Fine Arts Festival and trips to museums and music halls all work to illustrate the importance of the arts. Expanded Middle School art courses, a graded Upper School Forensics course and an Upper School band are the major course changes this year. Increased enrollment in all the arts courses and standing-room-only attendance at events indicate support for the fine arts. Special recognition has been given to many faculty and students through state and international competitions. The arts are everywhere and society benefits from an ever-increasing appreciation and understanding of the arts. 'ur rf j gf, .,-. N 17. 45 ,V Mrs. Pat McGee BS Rice Univ.
