CCEADTH- JUST WHAT ▲ hy do I have to have 1 5 credits of w r Breadth to graduate? What is ' ' Breadth anyway? These questions were frequently asked throughout the year by many students. Breadth is a requirement of the Walnut Val- ley School District which is aimed toward the broadening of students ' education. Start ing with the class of ' 84, the original intent of the Breadth requirement was to attempt to broad- en the experience of college-prep students by taking different kinds of electives. The courses that are within the Breadth requirement are: 1$ IT? I don ' t like it. I ' d rather take more solids instead. Art, Graphics, Mechanics, Wood, Photo, Drafting, Computers, Typing, COST, Band, Chamber Singers, Brahma Chorale, Drama, Yearbook, Newspaper, Brahma Press, Pep, Drill Team, and Pagentry Color Guard. Many consider the requirement a problem because schedules are getting messed up be- cause of it. Since there are only six periods a day, students can ' t fit these elective classes into their schedules. I don ' t like it. I ' d rather take more solids instead, remarked Lisa Her- rera, a junior. But for some students the Breadth requirement had no effect. It doesn ' t really matter to me because I automatically want to take extra activities like Chamber Singers and Yearbook, commented another junior, Karen Jensen. Juniors were affected by the Breadth requirement more than anv of the underclassmen. vCs ▲ HELPING OUT a fellow yearbook staffer, Ann Reyes, editor of Taurus, gives her advice on sentence structure. Yearbook was not just a class but also an extra-curricular activity due to tfie need to get deadlines done on time. A WHAT ' S WRONG with taking a break? asks Manuel Ramos, a junior in Computer Programming. Computers was a popular class not just because it counted for the Breadth requirement, but because of the uprising popularity in the computer field. A ARTIST AT WORK, Cindy Chang paints a picture. One of the art students ' many assignments was to copy a picture. ▲ CONTEMPLATING on what to do next, a fellow stu- dent helps junior Bill Hailey program the computer. Com- puters was a challenge as well as fun for many students. O Captain and Crew Breadth

Denis likes to jog in his free time to keep in shape. STArr No, not all of a teachers ' life is devoted to correcting papers and making out grades. Teachers do find time to do some of the things they want to do, whether it be before school, after school, or on the week- ends. Many use their spare time playing sports. Jogging seemed to be the most popu- lar among them. I love to jog with my hus- band and our dog. We usually jog in the late afternoon, remarked PE teacher Janet Rob- erts. Other teachers who indicated that they STLPr like to jog include; Sue Conrad, Jerry Davis, Walt Holmes, Hank Johnson, and Denis Paul. There are many other sports that the teach- My husband and I love to jog in the late afternoon with our dog. THEIR ers participated in. Skiing and tennis are also very popular with them. Many of the skiers took off on the weekends to do their skiing. Dick Campbell, Janet Roberts, and Bruce McNeil were lucky enough to be able to go with the ski club when they went. Overall, the entire staff seemed to be active in some sort of sport, whether it be jogging, tennis, aerobics, or scuba diving. Many played sports to stay in shape while others did it just for fun.
