But in reviewing the accomplishments of its own mem- bers, the Dana Hills faculty first re- duced the field to six outstanding mem- bers and then further to two and an- nounced co-winners in the first se- lection of Teacher of the Year. The names, Marvin Sherill of the Science Department and Richard Victor of the English Department, were for- warded to the National Teacher of the Year contest, which eminates from Garden Grove, California. 13 At a typical faculty meeting the array of talent is awesome. 23 The six semi-finalists were Richard Victor, Mary Ann Everett, Mar- vin Sherill, Chris Prescott, Pat Levens and Jo Hanson. 33 Richard Victor exhibits his desire to work one-to-one with students. 43 Mr. Olsen writes about Mr., Victor with some of Mr. Vic- tor's books as background. 53 Mr. Victor ac- cepts Mr. Grignonls congratulations, 63 Mr. Sherill works in an environment he created for students. 73 Mr. Gaskins writes about Mr: Sherill. 83 Mr. Sherill receives congratulations from Mr, Grignon, One Year Before the Mast i lf.

Mr. Nakamura leads this special school. The school is made up of students who need to study on more of a one on one re- lationship with the teacher. Most students enjoy this type of working conditions and after one semester some are even able to return to the regular classroom, as a result of being helped. The school is held in the portables in room 804. The hours that the school is open are from 8:00 until 12:00. During these hours the students work on independent contracts with which they can earn up to 25 credits per semester.
