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.

Science students help buy computer -Q . ,NL M Students work diligently on a project in Biology. Mr. Ray Collins, Department Chairman quas- -95 The Science Department started off the year with two new teach- ers, Mrs. Judy Gerdin who teaches Medical Careers and Mr. Jeff Simpson who teaches General Sci- ence and Biology. This year the science students did not just participate in class, they also sold Holiday gifts to help raise money for science comput- ers. The computers will not just be for teachers. The students will be able to use them for extra credit and to perform demonstrations that could not be done in class or to do work beyond required assign- ments. lt will be a period of 5 years before all of the equipment will be added. The Science Department had a few problems earlier in the year with a gas leak. The school district reacted quickly and brought porta- ble propane burners so that class work could continue. an--axis W, W I Mr. Richard Cherry Mr. Frank Grundler Mr. Jim Heinrichs Mr. Vernon Jensen Mrs. Beverly Lewis Mr. Jim Schonaerts Mr, Jeff Simpson Miss Terri Smith 27
