:0 4 n ift Aand te t i Once ogoin, the Cojon faculty and stoff truly out- did themselves during the 1986-87 school year. They had proved that through great efforts and achievements, the students could learn and enjoy what they learned more than ever. With the od- voncements of the creativity in the foculty ' s teaching methods, the students were obviously responding more in the classroom ond their perfor- mance on tests were greatly improved. Many of the teochers attended different types of workshops where they finely sharpened their teoching talents with the newest forms of creativity. These workshops were used by mony of the teachers to be able to convey their intellectual thoughts to the students, who eagerly obsorbed them in their minds. Even for the people who were less enthusiastic about the great learning process, learning was mode easier because of our great, ex- perienced teachers. The staff in the office also contributed to the work- ing area of teaching and learning. Without their con- tributions to moinfoining the orderly flow of our schooling system, all of the teaching wouldn ' t be possible. With the efforts of the 1987 Cojon foculty, our students learned more than ever before. Steve Sibil summed up the students views on the teachers by saying, They really taught us o lot about subjects that were interesting and informotive.

A New Face In 1985, we sow the arrival of Jim Alvorodo ro Cojon. With the unrimely demise of rhe Richardson Jr. High School Principol, we sow his departure only a year later The next likely thing rhot hoppenned wos that we got o new Vice Principol, Mr. Chrisrelmon. Previously, Mr. Christelmon was the Head Counselor at Son Bernardino High School. He was at Son Dernordino High for six and o half yeors. Before this, he was a counselor at Sierro for ten yeors, seven of which he spent as head counselor. His fronsirion from being a counselor to a Vice Principol was not completely new to him. At Son Bernardino High School, he temporarily took over o Vice Principol position while the other one was having surgery. His duties of Sierra were not only the ones he hod as o counselor, but he also was involved in disciplinary action, which is a major func- tion of a Vice Principol ' s position. Upon his orrivol ot Cojon, he felt that he was very well accepted by everyone. Students hove approached him and introduced themselves which he rhouhgt was really nice. The faculty was very worm and sup- portive and hove done their best to moke him feel welcomed. Needless to soy, everyone felt he had been a member of rhe staff for yeors, and hoped rhot he would stay one Not quite two weeks after his first day at Cojon, fight broke out in front of the office ond he was rhe first foculty member to rush out there in on ottempt to capture rhe fist throwing hoodlems. They got away, but Mr. Chrisrelmon ' s ocrions proved that he could act like a Cojon veteran. He commented that the students seemed above overage and quite friendly. He was quoted as saying, I believe the students at Cojon High School ore an outstanding group of young people who will be very suc- cessful in future yeors which will in port be a reflection of the educotion they received at Cojon.
