f Math Classes Use Skill Tests And Apple II The 1978-79 school year was one distinguished by new equip- ment and the administration of basic skills proficiency tests. Mr. Joe D'Innocenzo incorpo- rated an Apple II computer into his curriculum of the Computer I and Il courses. The availability of classroom terminals with televi- sion monitors improved classroom instruction, according to Mr. D,Innocenzo. The movement toward minimal basic skills launched the Math- ematics Department into a testing program. Students in general math, practical math, and algebra had their attainment of basic math skills logged into the school district computer.

Cuts Increase Social Studies Staff Work Load According to Social Studies Chair- man Mr. Adolph Bakun, there were several reasons for the busy year the department had. Although there were fewer students enrolled in school this year, the enrollment in the social stud- ies classes actually increased. Furthermore, there was a loss of three teachers, only two of whom were replaced: Ms. Barbara Toney, who took a leave of absence to exchange teach in Hawaii, Mr. Mac Grammerg and Mr. Sid Stockdale. Another cause was the elimination of three courses offered last year. Fewer courses resulted in bigger classes in the remaining courses of- fered. Some of the classes were expanded to include greater cultural learning in the racial and ethnic aspects: Ameri- can History, History of the Far East, and Minorities. Two new teachers joined the staff: Mr. James Maisano, who returned from sabbatical leave, and Ms. Mar- garita Mendiola, an exchange teacher from Hawaii.
