Hollywood was taken by surprise in June, 1962, by the sudden departure of Mr. Sam Hamerman, Principal during 1961-1962, for an important post in the downtown oflices of the Board of Edu- cation. Not until the opening of school in September did we learn that an old friend was coming back to us as our new Principal-Dr. Charles E. Sutcliffe who had been our Boys' Vice- principal in 1951-1953 and, more recently, Principal of Eagle Rock High School. In the year that he has been with us, Dr. Sutcliffe has earned the respect and affection of all for his fair- ness, his friendliness and his outstanding qualities as a leader. Miss Standfast and Mr. Crawford, Girls' and Boys, Vice-prin- cipals, have, with their customary efhciency and understanding, carried on with the thousand-and-one problems that come their way. Among her many other duties, Miss Standfast has the tremendous responsibility of drawing up the master program each semester and making all teacher and room assignments, while Mr. Crawford supervises the entire inter-scholastic athletic pro- gram, with all the attendant headaches of scheduling and eligibility. Hollyw0od's capable office staff: Mrs. G. Jaoklin, Mrs. V. Brydon, Miss L Guzman, Mrs. L. Clements, Miss L. Pastori, school secretary, Mrs. M. Taylor, Mrs. I. Levine.

This' is not to deny a place to such activities in the educational picture. Without them, school would not only be a dull institution, but much valuable learn- ing would be lost. Still, it is the teacher in the classroom, facing his thirty or forty students, and the course of study which the students pursue that lie at the very heart of education. Hollywood has gathered together an out- standingly able faculty - men and women skilled in their individual fields and vitally interested in bringing out in each student the best that he can produce. The courses of study offered at Holly- wood are as varied as any to be found in the high schools of Los Angeles. The basic studies required of all students include five semesters of English, four of social studies, three of science, and two of mathematics. In addition, every student must take a one- semester course in guidance and driver education, and one semester each of a fine art and a practical art. To this basic course, college-bound stu- dents add at ileast four semesters of a language, additional math and science and elective courses in English and social studies. Among the interesting and valu- able courses which qualified students may choose are drama, journalism, advertising art, life drawing, orchestra, vocal en- semble, harmony as well as a full array of courses in business subjects, home-making and vocational arts. Hollywood also offers special facilities for students with visual and auditory losses so that they may pur- sue their high school education in normal surroundings.
