Here for the first time community ideas, community planning, and community effort were added to the other resources used to build this school. Tlien, almost as a test of the fabric, Crenshaw opened its doors during one of our most tragic and trying periods in the contemporary scene. National leaders were destroyed, national decisions were assaulted and national estal lishments were questioned. Today, we see almost all of our major educational institutions being challenged. They are being asked to cast off many methods, procedures, and standards as archaic. Education is being challenged to develop new techniques, new concepts, and new understandings. Schools are being challenged to redesign education for the citizenry in the decades to come. That this school, or any school, can respond to meet all of these challenges is doubtful; yet, each school throughout the country can play a part in this evolution. Crenshaw High School is dedicated to quality education, community participation and pupil involvement to produce the good and strong in citizens and leaders for tomorrow. This task is also the never-ending re- quirement of our society ' s survival. ■ ' . ' . fc-ffs?;! ■ v? S GUIDES ALONG THE PA TH There are many paths young people may take. Advisers and guides help us sort out alternate paths and goals, pointing out the benefits of some, the drawbacks of others.

Some were par- ents of our students, others just friends of Crenshaw. Shown at right are just three of these good neighbors who helped supervise the halls and lunch areas during our first full year. 17 News Advertiser photo by Tony Kiss Every day, hundreds of students boarded buses like the one shown at right to travel to Hamilton, Dorsey, Manual Arts and Fairfax High Schools for special courses. This was the Apex (Area Program for Enrichment Ex- change) program.

Very seldom are coaches satisfied with a losing record of 1-6-1. How- ever Coach Holloway and Coach McLinn do not feel that they had a losing season. Three of the teams that defeated the Cougars (by a TOTAL of seven points) fin- i-shed either first or second in their league and went on to participate in the City ' s Play- offs. At the end of the season, the Cougars had an all-sophomore and junior starting offensive team. We had only four seniors on our defensive team. Coaches Holloway and McLinn are opti- mistic about next years football season be- cause of the many returning letterman. Crenshaw was blessed by one bright spot — ALL-WESTERN-LEAGUE Cornell Ridley. To put it lightly he was rough, rough, ROUGH.

Their first victory came against Jefferson High. Led by two-year All -City Ken Bentley and the unmerciful play of Peter Jacobs and Alon Carmichael, Crenshaw went on to make every- one fear the blue and gold. Five netmen who fought to make Cren- shaw powerful were Bentley, Jacobs, Carmichael, Perry Brown, and Larry Diamond. M Perry Brown hadn ' t played tennis seriously till this spring.

It takes many years to build a winning swim team. The Cougar aquanauts was not expected to burn up the league but there were some brilliant spots. Preston Wadley, Steve Miller, and Andre Blanton were expected to take their share of first places in the 50-yard free-style. Divers Wendell Brook, David Broughton, and William Harris, three dark- horses in the league surprised many competitors. Observers looked for Michael Dickerson, a young newcomer, to be setting and breaking school rec- ords in the near future. He ' ll be around for another two years. The Cougar swim team elected John Griffin and Edward Lewis as co- captains. Outstanding Diver William Harris concentrates; Reggie Lewis surges ahead; and (left to right) Jolin Griffin, Andre Blanton, Preston Wadley and William Harris relax for a second. €8 KNEELING: Robert Chester, George Edwards, James Borders, Ricky Douglas, Sidney Justin, Fred Randolph, Harry Brown.

Some members who impressed the fans most were Lorenzo Brooks, the all-around power of the team, and Ricky Douglas, one of the best in the Western League on the rope.

YEARBOOK Putting together Crenshaw ' s first full yearbook has been quite an experience. Though none of us had done much work in journalism before, we battled against dead- lines, unlabeled photos, unworkable layouts and newly-created clubs whose pictures we hadn ' t allotted any space for. We didn ' t always win, but the experience taught us a lot about the students, teachers, clubs, classes, teams and equipment that make up Crenshaw High School, as well as about some aspects of journalism. We hope that The Cougar ' s Path pleases you, that we spelled your name right, and that you will look into it with pleasure often in the years ahead. More Spring Staffers.
