Springdale High School - Bulldog Yearbook (Springdale, AR)

New approaches and S7000 worth of equipment were used to help students understand science concepts. Physics classes adapted Harvard University projects to demonstrate theories in motion, sound, and nuclear energy. Students could be found taking pictures of toy tractors or standing transfixed as a vacuum cleaner blew a ball along a track. Biology I courses offered 3 topics of study and Biology ll became completely lab-oriented, subjects being taught only through investigations. Genetics topics had students breeding fruit flies and moaning over dying corn shoots. A great deal of boredom and apathy towards science was gone, but often students were told what should have happened but didn't or were forced to borrow someone else's data. Lab techniques were learned, but college bound students were frightened by the slow material coverage. Everyone planning more education needs chemistry, and students whose college plans were spouses, sports, or society, had classes lagging. Students genuinely interested in chemistry found themselves finishing chapter six during the second week of the third quarter. Science: ci growing technology Far loft: With the aid of a polaroid camera, Gordon Lindsey is able to study motion in physics. Top: Disecting appears to be the highlight of the biology courses. Above: Mind and Body students find assembling a body is like putting together a puzzle with several pieces missing. Left: Certain precautions, such as goggles, are taken in Chemistry in case the student turns up with something unexpected. Center: Mike and Pat Bozo, pets of the Biology Department, take advantage of their freedom by doing a little exploring of their own. Mind Expansion!21

Some of the activities were curtailed during the 1972-73 year when a new Radio Broadcasting program took precedence. The radio program, which captured the attention of both students and faculty, branched into Arkansas' first high school television station, KSHS. Working closely with KSHS was the journalism department, which weekly prepared a 15 minute program, Bulldog Spotlight. New uses of photography and advertising gave both the yearbook and newspaper a new look as yearbooks became more realistic and the Herald left Jr. High techniques for modern layouts. A trip to Mexico during Spring Break gave Spanish students over a week to try the strength of their language skills and four faculty members. French and Spanish courses emphasized the culture behind the language while trying to prepare students for college. Lack of funds caused new equipment, offices, and personnel to by- pass the department which offered 1300 students 2 languages. 22!Mind Expansion a7'fs,! 3 '4 ' 'N' ,, ,
