    Congratulations and Best Wishes SMITHS BLUFF REFINERY 40th Anniversary Year I Foreword Dear Students, The old glass dome lamp was a famil­ iar sight at the time that the first PILOT was published. Many couples often strolled in a park and hesitated underneath the comfort of its glow. Just as the lamp sym­ bolizes a bygone era, the staff and I have labored to produce a yearbook which re­ flects the unprecedented events of the 1963- 1964 school year. Through the tragic and exhilarating, you, the students of Nederland High School, have alternately been saddened and thrilled. For many of you eniors, this is the culmination of your formal education; may your school years serve you well in your chosen career. For those who continue into college, you have a strong foundation upon which to base your future. To the under­ classmen, a word from one who has already passed this way: Do not allow yourself to become entangled by the petty, for these are surely the most productive and valuable years of your lives. In closing, we challenge each of you to excel through vision, enlightenment, and understanding. As you reminisce through the pages of this 30th Anniversary Issue of the PILOT, may you recognize the signifi­ cance of a most wonderful year. If you stu­ dents are pleased by this record of your achievements and disappointments, then our endeavors shall be rewarded. With best hopes for each of you, R. L. Diaz, Jr. Editor 1964 PILOT 3 66 Let the worJ go forth froirn. this tiirn.e amudl place o o o th.<lfi:t the torch has lbeen JJ_J>asseJ to a new generati?n of A:nrn.erricanso 99 4 .

    Field Guide 3 to 4

    How to use the Building a Strong Foundation for School Success Series; Field Guide This field guide was created to offer an easy‐to‐read, practical supplement to the KY Early Childhood Standards (KYECS) for anyone who works with young children birth to four years old. This guide is intended to support early childhood professionals who work in the following settings: home settings, early intervention settings, and center‐based care. The field guide has chapters for each of the Kentucky Early Childhood Standards. Below is a description of the information you will find in each chapter. Each chapter will begin with a brief overview of the standard. In this paragraph, you will find information about what this standard is and the theory and research to support its use. Each chapter contains a section called Crossing Bridges. It is important to understand that the developmental domains of young children often cross and impact others. While a provider is concentrating on a young child learning communication skills, there are other domains or standards being experienced as well. This section tells the reader how this standard supports other standards and domains. For example, you will see that social emotional development of an infant supports or overlaps the infant’s communication development. Each chapter contains a section called Post Cards. This section offers supportive quotes about the standard. In this section, readers will also find narratives, written by early care providers for early care providers. These narratives provide a window into how the standard is supported in a variety of settings. Each chapter contains a section called Sights to See.

    S The SummaTion S Department of Mathematics & Computer Science Newsletter · Santa Clara University · 2018 Remarks from the Department Chair Hi. This is Ed Schaefer, I succeeded Fr. Dennis Smo- larksi, S.J. and Glenn Appleby as Chair. We hope you are all doing well and that we have been one of the pieces that helped prepare you for your life. Both nationwide and at SCU, the percentage of students majoring in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is increasing. At SCU, we are seeing huge growth in both Computer Science and Computer Engineering. In our De- partment, we currently have about 250 Computer Science majors and 100 Mathematics majors. The Department’s enrollment in Winter 2018 classes is about 2100 students. Each of the last three years we have hired a new tenure-track faculty member and we have plans to hire six more continuing faculty over the next two years. The Department has received two gifts to improve our first year mathematics curriculum and retention of students traditionally under-represented in STEM. One gift is from the Koret Foundation and the other is from anonymous donors – they total $700,000. This has enabled us to support several exciting new programs. We are piloting lab sections for precalculus, STEM Calculus 1 and Business Calculus 1 (Math 9, 11, and 30). Each lab meets once a week for an hour. Active learning pedagogies are used in the labs, including a lot of group work focused on longer, conceptual problems. Students in SCU’s successful LEAD program, for first generation undergraduates, all take the labs, which are optional for other students.
