the Mast In his book, Two Years Before the Mast , Richard Henry Dana gives us a vigorous account of life on a sailing ship in the l830's. He describes in detail- the voyage, the people he meets, the places he visits, and the activities he is included in on shore. In short, he told of his adventures in terms of his learning experience. One Year Before the Mast is an account of life for a student at Dana Hills High School in the 1975-76 school year. It describes in detail the people we meet, the places we visit, and the activities we are involved in at school and in the com- munity. In short, it is the description of the adventures a school year holds. In all aspects of life, as a student or a sailor of 100 years ago, whether it is pursuing recreational activities or learning about life through study and experience, adventure can be found, the adventure of learning.

Sitting adjacent to the point as the sun sets one can imagine being Dana 'himself perched on a rock amidst the foaming current with the Pilgrim anchored off-shore in twenty fathoms of water, silhouetted against an amber sky. Watching the things that Dana watched, feeling the way he felt. until your aroused by the distant sound of cars, boats and people. Then you realize it wasn't a rock you were sitting 'bn but the cement of the jetty, and the brig wasn't a ship but one of the' 'ggygaral charter fishing boats returning to the harbor. thgngs have changed since Dana's time, most for the better, but some at the cost of losing the simple, t3'ff?'f3 c u iduiiiii . . . int 1 , .38 U becoming a city, the people who came to thisia gformed a community based on the same environmenta Qqtiilitics' 1 preciated, have seen -:those qualities overr' den hys'pf6'ryEbsT.Students, as mem- ':.

Some depend onthe tourist trade for money, in the form ofjobs at the many shops and restaurants on-the water. For some the harbor's facilities offer varied forms of recre- ation. From sailing and surfing to fishing from the jetty or one of the charter boats. Still others lind a source of enter- tainment in the restaurants and a wealth of stores to, pur- chase goods. ' i Many things have changed since Dana first wrote about this coastline. We've changed the face of the land and the water and we've changed the way in which we use these 'two resources. But through the veil of progress we can still see an adventure. The harbor still offers the needed diversion of adventure, for students from their necessary task of learning, as it did for Dana from his education aboard ship.
