Liberal rom acting to painting to ceramics to photogra- phy, the arts programs offered a wide variety of liber- al arts for students. Many students have ex- celled and won honors which have contributed to the suc- cesses inthe liberal arts field. ln photography, four students won awards in an international photo contest. Photography instructor Jeanne Zimmerman also boasted that the '85-86 school year has had the high- est number of photo 3 stu- dents in the school's history.

echnological advancement s technological advances were being made every day, a strong math and science background was being stressed in high school and college. Over the last ten years, both the math and science departments have expanded to cover the wide variety of aspects of each field. This year a standardized test was given in each of the sci- ences to determine exactly how much the students actually learned. In recent years, the science department has stressed students' learning through individual discovery and they have tried to promote more of an inquisitive thought process in labs and other classroom activities. This was to provoke the stu- dents into thinking through and actually applying each new prin- ciple to real Iife situations instead of just applying them to simulated problems. To survive reality, we've got to pick the right fantasy . . . mine's teaching, contemplated Chance Dunn, chemistry teacher. Mr. Dunn feels that in the future the computer will become a vital part in every classroom. Each student will have his own terminal and teachers will become a thing of the past. Mr. Dunn tried to provide the best environment for learning pos- The early bird . . . - Wayne Slade helps one of his consumer math stu- dents who came into class before school for extra help.

My personal goal is to not finish a year without continually learning about my field and to continue a constant progression to self-accessed betterment, stated Mr. Dunn. Another technological aspect covered in the vast array of courses offered to the student body was math. The math depart- ment offered a wide variety of courses ranging from consumer math to calculus. We're here to suit the students' needs and to provide the opportunity for each student to develop talent and maximize their ability, stated Wayne Slade, math department chairman. Mr. Slade tried to base his presentations on interest-oriented learning. He felt that part of being an effective teacher is setting a good example in the hope that the students would pick up on these examples. My personal goal, as a teacher, is to help each student improve their math skills, become a better citizen, and to devel- op greater patience, commented Mr. Slade.
