X Q v ,fr I 1 Learning from fhe silver screen Where learning is concerned, the eye is one of our most useful facilities. Knowing this, teachers use all means at their disposal to develop it. Our eyes are bombarded daily by numerous movies, filmstrips , slide presentations, maps and other methods of ocular stimulation in learning. These methods, along with the reading of books and the observation of a teacher's scrawl on a blackboard combine to make the eye the gateway to the student's mind. As the school moves into another I 26 ACADEMICS!Sight year, the English Department moves along with it. One of the many changes instituted was a revision of the Phase program's grading plan, requiring at least 80070 to pass. This rule caused a deluge of complaints from students but still stands as a guideline. The department was in ecstacy after moving into the new wing created especially to house them. The modern addition contains ten rooms, two of which are open- space areas.

TOP LEFT: Intently absorbed, Maria Aqua lano observes the temperature change in a can of water. This was part of an experiment related to the study of cal- ories. TOP RIGHT: A dead crayfish does not faze Sharon Wilkins and Lynn Smith. Dissection of the various classes of animals provides a base for the study of man. BOTTOM LEFT: Science fairs in schools nationwide are a one-of-a-kind chance for students to learn first hand. Pam Porter won Honorable Mention for her experiment on photosynthesis. BOT- TOM RIGHT: Gail Heiss and Julie William son examine a weight in a physics experi- ment. Keen observation is especially important in science for accurate re- sults. -ga w,l'Il,LJg'r1J!-I: r-X 5 4 'Y' Q-, r' 7- xe uw at uifitsueloa 0 otoo6'j' ' O0 X I Q-fIllfIl,1lfDl iirzoqmlxun and :nl Ii
