B.S. California State Teachers College. our dispatchers The high school's excellent teaching staff is truly a most important factor in the education of the West View student. Every student, whether he is taking the academic, commer- cial, or general course, is assured of the best possible training. Science is probably one of the most popular courses in West View. The fundamentals are taught in Biology l, physics, and chemistry, and creative genius is displayed in the iunior science, Biology II, and senior science classes. A very adequate course in mathematics is offered. It includes plane geometry, Algebra Il, trigonometry, and senior math. Languages are a source of enioyment and knowledge. Many students may be found spouting Spanish, French, or even Latin, to the amazement of their strictly English-speaking friends. History, a required subject for all, is livened up by films and discussions on current events. Psychology is also taught as part of the senior history course. Those who plan to enter the commercial world have instruction in typewriting, book- keeping, consumer education, and office prac- tice. They are always well qualified for the business field. There are several courses available for those who are blessed with more artistic tal- ents. Music, art, home economics, and indus- trial arts teachers give training which is valu- able to some students in deciding their CCI'eeI'S. Much of the success of the graduates of West View can be attributed to these teachers who work hard and sincerely to provide each student with the background necessary for the citizens of tomorrow.
