Mr. Lorenzo Roberts enjoys San Diego because of its recreational opportunities, including its beaches, mountains, and Chargers. He became a teacher because he wanted to stay in sports, and he does so by coaching the boys' baseball team. He likes the students at Bonita, saying that they are beautiful people. Ms. Janet Kimball became a Physical Education teacher because it allows her to implement her athletic abilities every day. She coaches several girl's teams because she enjoys working with girls who are inter- ested in competition and in bettering them- selves. Of course, her goal as a coach is to put more banners on the gym's walls! Mr. Wayne Whitby is interested in many physical activities: running, camping, can- oeing, and skiing. These interests led him to become a P.E. teacher when he wanted a challenging occupation. As a coach and in- structor, he hopes to assist students in reaching their maximum potential and teach the importance of exercise in every person's life. Ms. Elaine Watt, originally from Water- loo, Iowa, came to San Diego with her hus- band and could not bear to go back to the Midwest after experiencing Southern Cali- fornia's superior climate. Her goal is to help students achieve success, both in school and out. She enjoys many activities, her spare time is spent listening to music, reading, and playing the piano. 142 Physical Education

The Fine Arts Division allowed students to develop and display their artistic talents. These teachers were characterized by a de- votion to the student who wants to make an effort to excel. Mr. Ron Bolles conducts the school's many vocal choirs. His singing groups work hard and are very dedicated, winning many awards each year. The Music Machine is recognized as one of the top high school vocal groups on the West Coast, and The Sound Unlimited and Baron Concert Choir also display quality at each performance. Mr. Michael Sisson regards his decision to become a teacher as temporary insan- ity. He is Bonitals photography instructor, enjoying the intensity of teaching and working with young people. After school, he practices his photography and engages in a unique hobby: wine making. Ms. Mona Trunkfield feels that the Arts are one of society's greatest gifts, and wish- es to help students develop their creative thinking and personal expression. Her extra time is spent helping interested students in the visual arts, raising Bonita's level of cul- ture. She is a native Californian and a pro- fessional metalsmith, enjoying the out of doors and her family. Mr. Angel Martinez leads the band each day, guiding it to the fine musicality it dis- plays each year. He finds it particularly rewarding to see students grow musically under his instruction. His goal as the con- ductor is to build the finest band on the West Coast. Fine Arts l4l
