New method gain interest Members of the staff in the Math Depart- ment, headed by Steve Harmon, strove to achieve more effective teaching methods and new approach for the students. The Math Department provided students with a variety of courses, all of them essential knowledge for students who will be living in a computerized age. The department has fourteen teachers working to give the students the best math skills possible. Robin Twain Q11 thinks about what the teacher is saying. Puzzled by the equation C21 is Mark Maffeo.

Grant rovides many jobs Special Education for the district was giv- en a grant by the Job Training Partnership Act. The students worked twenty hours a week as filers at Alameda County Court, workers at retirement homes, and with Parks and Recreation. Other seniors not on JTPA found jobs through department head Betty Tapscott. Tapscott found jobs for seniors in Special Education. She ar- ranged for seniors to work in the private sector with the agreement that after the Special Education program paid for the training that they will be hired.
