Five foreign languages were offered to students during the '68-'69 school year. A fifth year Spanish course was of- fered to seniors who had completed the first four years. Four Year courses in French, German, Russian and Latin were also available. Several classroom aids were used by foreign language students. Tapes on grammar drills and modern novels were frequently used by students. Language lab facilities allowed teachers to listen to individual pupils recite. All classes were encouraged to use the lab. Students practiced their accents, grammar and conversational ability through writing and reciting dialogues. Continuous oral work helped students to develop skills necessary for practical usage of their dialects. Mr. Archambault and his student teacher helped Not only did the student receive help, but the rest Carol Kleinhesselink recite her French assignment. of the students profited from the recitation.

i Cooperative Teaching Many differenT Types of maTh courses were offered To meei The needs of sTudenTs. Some of The classes available were general math, algebra, geomeTry, Trigonometry and calculus. STudenTs were able To choose any course They felT was pracTi- cal for Them in The coming years. Many college bound sTu- denTs Took aT leasT Two years of maTh consisTing of algebra l 84 2 and geomeTry. These Two courses were essenTial for admission To mosT colleges across The counTry. STudenTs who felT if was noT necessary To Take a great deal of maTh fulfilled Their maTh requiremenis for graduaiion Through such courses as general and consumer maTh. Three conTesTs which Palo Verde sTudenTs usually compeTed in were The Sania Clara, The NaTional, and The Arizona STaTe MaTh ConTesT. For The TirsT Time sTudenTs Took parT in an in- viTaTional CompuTer MaTh ConTesT. A new room was seT up in The maTh wing by removing The wall beTween Two adioining rooms. The large room was de- signed for The purpose of experimenTing wiTh The Two meThods of Team and co-Teaching. These Two meThods were used for The firsT Time in The MaTh DeparTmenT. Team Teaching was used in The consumer maTh class and co-Teaching was used in The general maTh course. The difference beTween The Two meThods was ThaT Team Teaching had only one Teacher aT a Time and co-Teaching had Two Teachers conducTing and con- veying informaTion in class aT The same Time. Mr. Wayne Diehl assisted Thomas l-laugh with a calculus problem. Students qualified for the class on the basis of grades and teacher recommendation. Mr. Gerald Haluck, Mr. John Raskob and 40 pairs of students participated in an experimental team teaching program during a 7th period math class S ff' 4 'N 'W A gifs ,T Y W.
