ppreciation nd Fitness Tried Orchestra practice shows the individual involved in his own section of the music in preparation for concerts and recitals given during the school year A band section rehearses in anticipation of the annual Mid-Winter Concert 22 OALS of the music department this year wereto make music a meaningful experience and to develop a more sensitive understanding of beauty in music for those who parti- cipated. Since most music students were in the performing groups, it was largely through these groups that music appre- ciation was taught. From the inner satisfactions of a good per- formance came a better understanding and appreciation of music. Participation on all levels based on the time and interest ofthe student, stimulated learning for the individual at the level of his ability. For those who could not perform, a discussion-Iis- tening class was offered. Although the students in this music appreciation class could not participate actively, they were given an opportunity to learn to listen better to the types of mu- sic performed and what goes into a good performance, ONTINUAL evaluation of the physical education class gave the student the best program possible this year, Through constant improvement, the student was given the opportunity to develop and maintain strength. vitality, speed, and coordination of the body. He learned the importance of cooperation, the joy of winning, and the disappointment of defeat through the play- ing of games, Participation in physical education activities also brought control of feelings, frustration in failure, and fun in ac- complishment, Experiences valuable to their intellectual growth such as reasoning, evaluation of situations, and making judg- ments were also taught. As a result, the student should have good health and be physically fit,

strates the accuracy of the computer Students Encounter Problem In ATHEMATICS is being unified rather than fragmented into small course divisions such as algebra or geometry. The concept ideas are taught at all levelsof learning, according to the abilities and the goals of the individual students. Teachers arrange course materials and use of class items to satisfy the student's personal requirements. There is much individual coaching and small group activity within the classes. The in- structors in the math department meet regularly to pool the results of their continued study of materials and methods. This way they make every effort to keep up with the changing needs of the students in the field of mathematics. N past times there was little attempt to differentiate be- tween the sciences. for scientific knowledge was limited. Today, however, this knowledge has beenggreatly broadened and Lincoln shares in some of these practices. In biology, large group presentations were stressed. Four classes met at once to view films and take examinations. These classes were broken down for laboratory work and discussion. The chemistry courses were designed by a group of leading college and high school teachers, They felt that the concepts of science can be more easily grasped through laboratory experimentation. It was the first time the course was used at Lincoln. The physics course has been offered to the enriched physics sections and one regular class. lt was the first of the modern science curri- cula courses. Emphasis is placed on student discovery and development of concepts, rather than the traditional learning of the concept and testing of it in the laboratory work. In addition to the science classes, the project room was available for stu- dents to work on projects during their study periods. Students explore the basic concepts of math in the math ofiice Kevin Hollenbeck demon- 24
