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.

Class cooperation was essential when doing difficult problems. Mr. Edward Maxwell took time out of daily class routine to explain to stu- dents a geometry proof dealing with the relationship of a tangent to a sphere.

Science Department Initiated Lab-Oriented A wide variety of subiects were studied in biology classes. Students learned the basics and followed through by doing experiments in the laboratories. LEO R. AUSTIN CHARLES M. DAVIS JOHN C. DURAN PAUL HATCHER Physical Science Biology Biology Biology Earth Science AFS Football Chemistry Pep Club Science Club Track WALTER A. RALPH E. ROBERT K. JACK MIGNERY HOLLIDAY, JR. JOHNSON McCONEGHY Physical Science Physics Biology Chemistry Physical Science Intramural Director In chemistry class Dave Croteau combined chemicals in a test tube by the use of an eyedropper. It took time and patience to achieve the correct results. Biology teacher Mr. Duran attempted to teach his students fundamentals in- volved in biology. One of the basic things learned was use of lab equipment.
