Creative Students This year the main objective of the Industrial Art department is to develop practical, manual skills. One new advanced woodworking course and one new advanced machine tools course are being added. Mr. Cook, Mr. Humphreys and Mr. Marcetti are teaching Industrial Arts this year. They hope that by the end of the year, every student is able to demonstrate his or her mastery of each basic skill, at their own rate of development. The Art II and Art III students are in combined classes this year. Mr. Rod Dewey, our art teacher, teaches Art I, II, III and also photo- graphy classes. Before Mr. Dewey grades his students, he talks with each to determine what they feel their grade should be. Mr. Dewey grades his students on their finished product and also the amount of time spent on the pro- ject. Top: Jeff Campbell does some last minute measuring for the bookshelf he is constructing.

Solid Foundation This year the math department objectives include aiding the students in the development of logical and orderly thinking, pre- senting students with fundamental mathematical ideas and con- cepts useful in daily living, preparing students with fundamental understanding of high school mathematics and to enable students to study higher mathematics in college. General Math, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Trigonometry and Consumer ' s Math are all offered to help students reach the goals. Logical and orderly thinking is taught in Geometry and Advanced Topics. In these classes, students make hypotheses and use deduc- tive logic. Students think for themselves and learn fundamental principles. Useful, daily math skills are an important part of Consumer ' s Math. In this class, students learn unit pricing, correct completion for income tax forms, and comparative shopping. Useful, daily math skills are an important part of Consumer ' s Math. In this class, students learn unit pricing, correct completion for income tax forms, and comparative shopping. With the combined efforts of Mrs. Hedge, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Rathje and Mrs. Silverthorn, students gain better mathematical under- standing. This year the Math Department has a new computer, a TRS-80, model III. This computer will be used for self-paced computer programming instruction. Students will greatly benefit from the computer. With the teachers and resources available, Yale High School students will have the necessary mathematical foundation. Science: New Outlook The Science Department at Yale High has a new outlook. They not only have a new teacher, Mr. Egan, they also have new text books for Biology I and a class called Advanced Topic in Physi- cal Science. The science teachers this year include: Mr. Dams, Mr. Egan, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Johnson, Mr. Little, and Mr. Smith. Each of these teachers ' goal was to acquaint the students with varied forms of the natural world. The teachers this year were very pleased with the classes and hope next year will be as good as this year. 24
