0 ii Xi Bonanza Is a College? Over 500 students on the Bonanza campus are unknown by almost all of the student body. Why? Because for four nights a week Clark County Community College held 29 classes in Bonanza's classrooms from 5:30 to 10 p.m. Until Cat some unknown timej the new Community College is built across the street from BHS, the college will rent the use of Bonanza from the Clark County School District. Classes are held in the 100 and 200 numbered rooms and range from business, math and English to real estate. Most of 46 community college the 100 and 200 rooms are the ones used daily by teachers who share their classrooms with floaters, Cteachers who teach in classrooms made vacant by a regular teacher's prep- aration periodj. The daily teachers noticed some extra wear and tear on their rooms but realized that the service provided the community far outweighed the problems. A ln a Tuesday night class in business Mr. Rettig discusses management. Mrs. Wood's Spanish notes remain undisturbed on the blackboard.

Booker Takes on Dual Role The position of student activities direc- tor and the new audio-visual co-ordinator was filled by Mr. Kermit Booker. For the most part he did the same job as Mr. Gayle Moots did previously. In this position he scheduled, coordinated, and often attended most student activities such as the dances, proms, Mardi Gras, plays, as well as all the games and stu- dent elections. Providing service for the teachers as well as students, Mr. Booker worked in the library for two hours each day to make sure the audio-visual materials and equipment were in order and available to everyone. With two sons in college, he has been a basketball, softball, and track coach as well as a teacher and counselor. A Mr. Booker contemplates the implications of having Girls Reverse dance off-campus. 4 Keeping the equipment in repair, Mr. Booker replaced an inoperative lamp in a 16mm projector. mr. booker 45
