Engli h department works on Mrs. Jeri Toal Department Chairman . .Wx Mrs. Sue Bardon Mrs. Nadine Freiberg Mrs. Cathy Flesner UE5 Overall, the English students are well prepared, have better composition skills than in the past years and seem to have a positive attitude about English, said Mrs. Jeri Toal, Department Chairper- son. This year's main goal is working on CUES, Comprehensive Unified Educational Skills, and a test for the Junior level to be implemented next fall. They are also in the pro- cess of collecting samples of stu- dent writing for a composition guide booklet for students. Mr. Ben Jordan, a retired English teacher and a former Department Chairman from the Phoenix Union District, is working with Sopho- more composition classes one day a week and finds students cooper- ative and respectful. As in the past, the English de- partment has a cooperative and congenial group of teachers who are very dedicated to their profes- sion and enthusiastic about teach- ing English, complimented Mrs. Jeri Toal, The Foreign Language depart- ment started out with new courses such as Latin l-2, German 3-4 and Russian I-2.

Mr. Cornell becomes Department Some changes in the Paradise Valley Mathematics Department were in personnel. Mr. Paul Cornell took over the position of Depart- ment Chairman. Along with a new department chairman, two new teachers joined the staff Mr. Bob Lambi and Ms. Robin Levine. The mathematics department Chairman received a new computer this year, an Apple Macintosh. They also raised money for a large color monitor for the Apple Il E by selling Christmas ornaments. The mathematics department's classes range from basic math all the way to calculus. They also offer courses in computers. The main effort of the math- ematics department is doing the best they can to prepare students for the business and academic world. I think we work really well to- gether and the students are a pri- mary concern, said Mr. Paul Cor- nell, Paradise Valley Mathematics Department Chairman. , N uumzwzaw Mr. Paul Cornell Department Chairman Ms. Robin Levine Mr. Cornell thinks of a solution to a problem on the Macintosh.
