Linda Fabel, David Carter and Sallie Saltzman were three of the delegates representing Palo Verde at the annual Model United Nations convention. It was held December 9-10 at the U of A. Social Studies courses were offered to acquaint students with the past as well as the present. ln order to graduate, stu- dents were required to take world history or world geography, American history and American problems. Oriental civili- zation, a study of the peoples of the Far East, and Latin American history, an introduction to Latin culture, were of- fered as electives to interested students. Fifteen delegates were chosen to rep- resent the school in the Model United Nations. The students were chosen by the faculty according to their knowledge of foreign nations and governments. Students represented various countries and discussed many world problems. Select students were also chosen to attend the United States Youth Program at a nationwide convention that was held in Washington, D. C.

Grouping Method Used in Math Department Grouping techniques were used this year for the first time in math classes. Offered to first year algebra students, the new method enabled teachers to group students according to their ability. Modern math was emphasized. New books included the Basic Math, General Math and First Year Algebra textbooks. College preparatory math was presented for the first time. This course centered around the theory of economics. Each year the Mathematics Department sponsors three con- tests. The importance of reasoning ability rather than achieve- ment was emphasized in the Santa Clara National Math Examination. Also given were the National Math, as well as the Arizona State Math Tests. Two credits of mathematics were required for students to graduate. Algebra and plane geometry were mandatory for college entrance. College algebra, trigonometry, calculus and data processing were the advanced courses offered for those students wishing to obtain a degree in a special field. Junior Rick Riddle concentrated on a test in second year Algebra and Trig- onometry. Comprehension and mathematical ability are essential in this course. ...,.., T . . ,WM Q sf.
