Boys could fill requirements through many types of activities offered by the depart In most instances the teacher had control over the courses taken The teacher had to take into consideration how large the class was and how much available equipment was needed The boys participated in one sport for six weeks, occasionally being interrupted to Intramural sports were set up for any boy who wished to participate.

, HEMSTU DY Concentrating on lab oriented courses, the Science Department offered physical science, biology cmd chemistry. A college level course in chemistry was also of- fered for those interested students who could meet the prerequisites. Contributing to smoother working con- ditions, lab assistants had to meet cer- tain requirements before being allowed to take this course for credit. This was advantageous to both the student and teacher. An experimental course-CHEMSTUDY -was initiated this year in the chemis- try classes. This provided more time for working in the lab. Through these lab oriented courses students were able to meet college en- trance requirements as well as high school graduation requirements of two years of science. Palo Verde also of- fered one of the most complete and modern earth science courses in Tucson. The Science Club, made up of inter- ested students, planned several field trips during the year.
