'asf TSlld!Z2 S. Smthl. Horll Hukafi L Parker Roe l I Determination Overcomes Devastation Since their evolution in 1968, the Chargers established and upheld many traditions that remain unique to any other highschool. This year, originating not only in the 1500 strong l1556 to be ex- actl masses of the Associated Student Body, but in the individual departments as well Kentridge discovered a new identity. Working hard to be flexible and exercise individual ideas, the Language Arts Department rebuilt its staff and helped to form that new identity. Living through a year of devastating budget cuts, the L.A. Department as a whole strived to maintain a balance in the quality level of curriculum - as well as staff service to the students. ln result, only one general graduation elective had to be dropped lStagecrafti and the Fiction Writing and Poetry Workshop classes were offered second semester only. Language Arts teacher Hazel Ross, who has been an active member of the staff since the opening in 1968, commented, The money problems won't kill education . . . The interaction between students and teachers is what really counts. Adding their knowledge and ideas to the LA staff were newcomers Terry Parker, who made his debut in the Communicative Arts, Basic Writing, and Traffic Safety classes, and Robert Freed- man, who, during the first semester, undertook the advisor's position of the Fleet Street News, Communicative Arts, and Speech Workshop. Although the Junior and Sophomore classes were fewer in number, the Senior class of 82 was one of the largest at Kentridgeg causing the immediate creation of two additional Composi- tion ll classes on the floor of the September registration. lWho ever thought English classes were so popularl? In retrospect, Department Head Bob McMullen speculated With all the budget pro- blems and funding hassles, it's easy to let those kind of thoughts cloud over all the positive hap- penings . . . but in the end, Education will prevail.
