By 1923, the student population had grown to 2500 and the staff numbered 106. The opening of Fair- fax in 1927, and of Marshall a few years later, relieved some of the pressure on Hollywood. Later, the low birth rate of the Depression years was reflected in the small enrollment of the late 1940's and early 1950's. In 1953 - just ten years ago - there were only 1700 students at Holly- wood, taught by a faculty of 59. Today, there are 2400 of us - up 300 from last year - and the faculty numbers 97, sixteen of whom are new to Holly- wood this year. Among the newcomers is Miss Virginia Andrews whose field is Science and who formerly taught in the Midwest. Mrs. Selma Blum comes to us from Paul Revere Junior High to teach English, while Mr. Don Carlson, Athletic Coach, hails from Manual Arts. Miss Sandra Draper and Mrs. Judith Hansen, both in the English Department, are on their first teaching assignment, as is Mr. Phillip Cyllenswan in Vocatignal

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.
