social science: the now field Today ' s society demands a com- plete knowledge of history, social studies, psychology, government, consumer education, and political sci- ence. L.A. Baptist students are fortu- nate to have classes in all of these areas which comprise the Social Sci- ence Department. This department has an excellent staff consisting of: Miss Denise Black, Mrs. Bernice Budd, Mrs. Dee Malousis, Mr. Rick Mangnall, and Mr. Bruce Ralston. The science department has done such an excellent job that there is an increase in the number of students in their classes. Some of the innovations found in these classes consist of guest speakers, mock political conventions, and self-evaluation. These outstand- ing teachers and their teaching skills made the Social Science Department one of the brightest areas in L.A.B. curriculum. 1. Mrs. Bernice Budd — Soc. Sci., Psych., U.S. History.

probing fhe future Los Angeles Baptist High School takes pride of its outstanding Science department. The departnnent chair- man, Mr. Don Lewis, combines cre- ative thinking and plain hard work in the fields of chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Mr. Lewis adds interest and student involvement in all these classes as shown by taking his environmental science students on a hike through the rugged terrain of Tick Canyon and on the Van Tuna boats to study marine life. Mr. Timothy Liu is another fine teacher in the Science department. His Physiology class is an exacting example of his teaching skills. This course is both interesting and demanding. The highlight of Physiol- ogy occurs when Mr. Liu takes the class to the L.A. Chiropractic College where they observe a cadaver. The basic preparatory Life Science courses are taught to the Sophomores by Miss Cindy Noblitt and Mrs. Caro- lyn Reeves. The lower division science classes are designed to give the junior high students a sound foundation of basic science knowledge upon which they can build in senior high. This founda- tion as is ably provided by Mr. Gary Miller and Mr. Maury Neville. 1. Mr. Gary Miller — Sci., Math., Westmont, B.A. 3. Mr. Don Lewis — Sci., Math. Azusa, B.A. 2. Mr. Timothy Liu — Sci., Math. Lingman, Uni- versity, B.S. 4. Miss Cindy Noblitt — Sci., P.E., Bible, C.S.U.N., B.S. 5. Mrs. Carolyn Reeves — Sci., Home Ec, Bible C.S.U.N., B.S. 6.

growing in Chrisf The Religion department at L.A. Bap- tist is the largest composed of fifteen teachers. Because it is an important area of study here on campus, all students take Bible as a required course. They begin their study in the Old Testament in seventh grade and continue through the Sciptures with each progressing year. As seniors they revisit the Old Testament in a brief overview. In the spring, High School students are given the opportunity to choose an elective which they feel will aid them in their Spiritual growth. As head of the department, Mr. Rich- ards is proud of its progress at school. The department ' s goal is for the students to have a deeper understanding of the Bible and to grow in the Holy Spirit. 1 . Mr. Loren Kearney and Mr. Barry Herman. 2. Mr. Martin Richards. 3.
