The Medical Records class is one of the more exciting offerings for students inter- ested in entering the medical profession. Students received on the job practice in Medical Record Keeping at the Sepulveda Veteran's Hospital three days a week, while spending two days in class work and preparation. Introduction to Data Processing is another class which should certainly be mentioned as most relevant to those students who want to find out more about how computers and computer programming are reflected throughout their everyday life.

Mrs. Marguerite Karlin Mrs. Jannis Livingston Mrs. Frema Rood X Mrs. Darlene Loiler Mrs. Judith Shapiro This past year has been the most innovative one our de- partment has had, relates Mr. Keefer, department chair- man. Most exciting was the acquisition, with Mr. Milleris help, of a Resource Center. This is the place where the English teachers can pool and share ideas and materials to improve the classroom experience. It also contains re- cordings and filmstrips that help make the classes more in- teresting. In addition, the drama classes have developed a Children's Theater - students going to public libraries and grade schools to perform for the children.

One group of 10th grade teachers has organized a series of mini courses in their specialties fspeech, journalism, and literaturejf,
