V 1 gi' Rainbow Coalition, Great Change and Basic Composition I and ll made up the only required courses for English students. To fulfill graduation requirements, students had a variety of English courses to choose from. Electives for freshmen included such color- ful-sounding courses as: Mystery and the Supernatural, t'The Short Story, Fiction, Fantasy and Future and Survey of the Novel. Students enjoyed choosing the courses which suited them. Elective courses remained the same for Eng- lish ll students except for two courses which met popular approval. Skills for Moviegoers was considered an especially fun class because the class actually attended film show- ings. Words as a Weapon, dealt with the aspects of satire in the past and the present. The Research Paper, offered only to sen- ior students, proved to be a helpful course for college-bound students. ln each English class, teachers emphasized grammar, vocabulary and spelling along with the literary values of the selections being read. Other non-English classes such as reading, mass communications and photo-journalism rounded out the curriculum. -Sherri Hoffman .81 NINTH Brad Thomas David Tidwell Charles Tillman Lori Tilson ,x I t Tommy Till Mike Tull .

Caldwell Twenty courses comprised the sci- ence curriculum, ranging from micro- biology and human physiology to advanced science readings and car- bon chemistry. Advanced science stu- dents chose individual study projects, including the dissection of a cat, dog- fish and two fetal pigs. Other advanced courses, such as physics, biology ll and chemistry ll rounded out the choices. This year for the first time all fresh- men were required to take three quar- ters of physical science. Most science teachers said they believed the change to the quarter system has helped the science curric- ulum by giving the students a wider variety of subjects from which to choose. - Camille Prentice I- if 83 NINTH 'til ' .-.W ' a A 1 f ' ! ii - 0-V . .
