Boys ' League Schofield Rides Herd Over Campus Males King Schofield, backed by a capable board, brought the Boys ' League through another e ent- ful year. Among the regular activities which includ- ed providing assemblies and holding sportsnights, the Boys League held an intramural volleyball tournament. The tournament was open to any boys ' doubles and the top team won a pair of leather ' ol- leyballs. This tournament was such a success it promises to become an annual event. Another event to attain financial success was co- sponsoring of the annual Christmas Dance. At this dance. King assumed the proud honor of crowning the Queen, one of the more pleasurable jobs for the President.

Indepaidetit Study Select Few Gain Right to Break the Routine Trying to get in some extra reading, an Independent Study student seeks the tranquility of the Senior Patio. A taste of freedom was the experience felt by 42 students who participated in the third year of Inde- pendent Study. This program was initiated to give students extra time to work on special projects, and to attend off-campus activities, but mainly to teach the better student how to u.se his time wisely. There were two phases, enrichment and course-credit. In the enrichment plan, names were submitted by the faculty. These were ba.sed on academic ability, re- liability, and the ability to profit from Independent Study opportunities. The enrichment plan was open to Seniors only. E aluations and changes were made at the end of the first .semester. This consisted of adding six students to the present enrollment. The course-credit was opened to any student who applied, but they had to be spon.sored by the course teacher. All library facilities were open to these students. Under the guidance of Mr. Roland Jarvis, he stated, The program prepares the stu- dents for college life and provides a worthwhile experience for all involved. Such experiences were typified when Claire Chandler attended the One-Act Play Tournament at El Camino and when Richard Brceden, Mark Zirbel, and King Schoficld regularly went to the Los Angeles Law Library. Independent Study has proven that when students are gi en a chance, they will use it to benefit their studies. Carol Kollios finds that the opportunity to use the library facilities, under Independent Study, provides valuable assistance on her term paper.
