A skilled master of White Water Jim Reese discovered a certain fascination and pleasure from canoeing. He took frequent trips with his friends and the Sierra Club to the Stanislaus River, among other places. The journeys ranged from a few hours, to overnight excursions. The only setback he found to this sport. was all the driving involved. A biology and physiology teacher, Mr. Reese signified that condensed courses in which the student has eight weeks to concentrate on two subjects would greatly enhance the relationship between teachers and students, thus increasing learning. Being the yearbook advisor was no easy job. lt was time consuming with a tremendous amount of pressure, such as deadlines, finances, and tempermental artists. Valerie Himes has been the yearbook advisor at Del Campo for five years. Mrs. Himes admires the person who is a true individual. One who does not conform to the trends and ideals of others. She believes that these people are the ones who succeed in life. When asked what she would do if she had a million dollars, she replied, l'd take off for a year just to travel throughout the world. Because of her involvement with students and the administration, Sheri Knaak was one of the most well known faculty members at Del Campo. Mrs. Knaak has noticed certain changes in the student body. She felt the students had more spirit and patriotism toward DC than they have had in the past few years. She would like to have smaller classes, and greater funds for more field trips to make teaching a more personal and interesting profession. Though the Knaak's anxiously awaited the birth of their first child this year, it did not deter her from her favorite pastime: skiing. If her dream could come true, Mrs. Knaak would like to own and operate a small ski resort. 235 Vi,
