MR. ROBERT CARDONA, b.s., ms. Asiiitant Principal, Boyi MR. ROLAND B. JARVIS, a.b., m.ed. Vice Principal, Attendance Plans of the new building.s dominated the thoughts of Aviations school administrators this year. The campus additions will include a new li- brary, classrooms for special education and art. and an auditorium. Mr. Go.ssard and his deputies also battled social problems. Long hair, short skirts, and the rest- room smoking break continued to raise the hackles of the administrators. Like the lawmen of yester- year, the administration and faculty rode to the defense of community morals with vary ing degrees of success in working on these problems.

Not shown is Dr. Douglas Swartz, who handles district curriculum affairs. The vigilantes of the South Bay Union High School District fought hard this year to preserve law and order at Aviation. The high school bonds worth five million dollars were finally approved by the voters last year, and the administrators found their hands full with the plans and the construction of new buildings at Mira Costa and Redondo as well as Aviation. Meeting twice a month, the school board dis- cussed and sought solutions to many of the problems, such as the increa.sing use of narcotics, that con- fronted them. Varied guest speakers gave them in- sight into the solution of these problems, and kept them up to date with new procedures being used in education. Librarian Ron Alberts and Building Committee Chairman Earl Heckerman check plans for the new library structure, planned to open in 1969.

JOHN B BILLINGS, b.s.. m.a. Mr. Will Brownlie supervises a social studies class for students spe- cially selected by the counselors for this program. As usual, the Counseling Department spent a hectic year. Keeping programs organized and mak- ing sure everyone got the classes they needed were common problems. Mrs. Iary Rood had a busy year with her graduating seniors. Cries of What college should I go to? and Where can I find a job? were heard in her office. Mr. Bill Kelly has taken on a new batch of freshmen whom he will foster through the coming three years. Messrs. Bill- ings and Haut were able to hit a happy medium with their sophomores and juniors. All of the Coun- seling office personnel are looking forward to mov- ing out of their cramped quarters in the round- house and into the old library when the new build- ings are completed. MR. WILLL M KELLY, b.s., m.a. Interact, Student Council Student Activities Director
