Scientists compete in academic ol mpics f'Science is fascinating, it is always explaining why things happen in our society, said Science Department Chairman Ray Collins. 'That is why our students enjoy the subjectf' According to Mr. Collins, the most exciting event this year was the Science Olympics held at Shadow Mountain. On March 26 our school, as well as several other schools around Arizona, competed in a contest bas- ed on four general areas of science, said Mr. Collins. According to a letter from Mr. Richard Porshier, the director of the Arizona-Nevada Junior Academy of Science, the Science Olympics was an inter- disciplinary contest which demanded the ultimate in mental and physical discipline. It tested the thinking skills and science methodology of the students, said Mr. Collins. Other events in the department included three of Mr. Cherryis students who took a series of seminars from the American Heart Association and a field trip to ASU taken by Mr. Heinrich's class. x 4 l ' Mr. Ray Collins Department Chairman Mr. Richard Cherry av- Y 3 Mr. Frank Grundler Mr. James Heinrichs Mr. Vernon Jensen ,.,,......a..m .WN- ,.,..,....4----............ ,......N-c-,...,.........- .........N...-.n...,. .,,,..,.,...........-.- ..........- ,.....,.. ,,,,,,.,..........--- ,.,,,.,........,..-.Q-.M , . -7 , is I Ka M Q k fir, , , at .t....,.......

This year the counseling department was under the direction of Mr. Jerry Lemon. The depart- ment was involved with the student body, getting involved with student groups and activities. One method of getting involved was the pro- cedure for issuing progress reports which are com- puter printouts made out by teachers showing the students and parents how the student is doing. The printout was issued for all classes for each student. Mr. Steve Lewis, school psychologist, helped coordinate the Suicide Prevention Training Pro- gram with Mr. John Hudson. During the school day Mr. Lewis counsels students privately and helps students who come in each year. A new addition to the staff this year is Mrs. Margaret Harris, Career Center aide, who helps students with career choices and with the type of jobs that are available. Mr. Harten and Mrs. DiGesu, counselors, created an academic program this year for students who are in the top 10 percent of the senior graduating class. The counseling department was busy as well as involved with the student body. -, ,,,, ,........,....,,..aW. .N at Mrs. Betty DiGesu Dr. James Hamm Mr. Ron Harten Mr. Steve Lewis Counselors becon involved with students J , l.
