No, it's not a student who regressed, but a professor who want- ed to refresh memories of high school teaching to im- prove his instruction of col- lege students who were preparing to be teachers. Ron Santora, an English professor at Sacramento State University, during his sabatical, returned to the halls of high school. Santora wanted to teach at the high school level in hopes of regaining an understanding of high school teaching tech- niques for his students at Sacramento State in the teaching credential pro- gram. I need to be able to relate to my students what reality out there in the teaching world is really like. They need to know about the real world of teaching, not the ivory tower of college, said Santora. He believed that it was necessary to be familiar with both the academic and social aspects of high school in order to be a successful teacher. I forgot how slowly every- thing moves here, and that's an important fact for future high school teachers to know. I was also surprised at the lack of motivation amongst high school students, which is another fact that needs to be brought to the attention of future teach- ers, said Santora. Teachers at DC believed that Santora's intentions benefited both students and teachers. It's impres- sive to find a college pro- fessor who really wants to understand what teaching high school is really like, and to find out for him- self, said Jim Jordan, English teacher. Although many college professors would never consider lowering them- selves to teach high school Santora found it enlight- ening. I accomplished what I wanted to learn. I've found that students learn in different Ways and that high school teachers have too many students to do any type of authentic teaching, said Santora. DC English teachers found Santora's efforts im- pressive. Many college professors become re- moved from the teaching world so Dr. Santora's ac- tions will hopefully en- lighten other teachers. He certainly is dedicated. He hasn't lost that quality, said Jo Ann Walter. Adding emphasis, Ron San- tora lectures his Freshman En- glish class on their latest writing assignment. .Person to person, Ron Santora takes time out during his lecture to answer John Palmer's ques- tion.

But these emotions did not only become reality for a driver in the Indy 500 or for a national ski jumper. These emotions were a part of hundreds of Del Campo athletes' lives. For some the victory was sweet and for others the defeat was heartbreaking, but students and parents supported all the athletic teams with pride. The Boys' Cross Country team started the season off right, winning the Onion Classic held in Vacaville. They clinched second place in the CAL, third place at the Section meet, and took fifth place at the State Meet. This victory marked the highest achievement by any DC Cross Country team. As the Boys' Cross Coun- try team was setting new records, the Boys' Varsity Soccer team was contin- uing their winning trad- ition by claiming the TOC title for the second year in a row. Their two, exciting, overtime victories against number two Kennedy and Christian Brothers were at- tributed to their penalty- kicking strength. Other teams such as the Girls' Tennis team had more difficult seasons. The girls met up with three very tough teams. Although the team finished with a sea- son record of seven and seven they still felt a tinge of dissapointment. I expected to win more of the matches. They were just better than us and we had to face it, said Susan Stahlberg. The JV Wrestling team wasn't quite as lucky as the Girls' Tennis team. Due to an inexperienced and in- jured team the Cougars only managed a single win against San Juan. 'This year we were a very young team, we were just beginning, but next year we'll be able to build on what we learned this year and we'll have a much better season, said fresh- man John Taylor. The JV Girls' teams did extremely well throughout the year. First the JV Volleyball team went un- defeated until their final game against Nevada Union. This small defeat was not enough to keep the l 'rx l '1 girls from capturing first in the CAL. With eight of the talented volleyball players on the basketball team they were destined for success. The team remained undefeated during their season play and took first place in the CAL. - The lack of rain in the winter allowed for spring sports to begin early. The baseball team began prac- tice in February and ten- nis, swimming, and bad- minton all began around the first of March. Stu- dents enjoyed the spring weather and took advan- tage of the athletic events as a reason to catch some rays. No matter what the season, the sport, or the record, DC participants and fans took pride in their teams because they knew it was how you played the game that really mattered. Victory!
