Principal Thomas Johnson, assisted by his secretary, Mrs. Roberta O'Neil, programmed a well- rounded curriculum which included some 43 different subiects. These included the academic courses such as English, math, Spanish, Russian, and science, business courses such as typing, shorthand, Stenoscript, office machines, and bookkeeping, homemaking courses such as sewing, rug hooking, pastry decoration, interior dec- orating, and personal improvement for women, shop courses such as drawing, oil painting, auto shop, crafts, drafting, electronics, and wood shop, com- munity service courses such as citizenship, driver ed- ucation, child study, English for the foreign speak- ing, and first aid. ln addiiton to these were some practical short term courses such as PBX-Receptionist, Beginning Real Estate, and Investments. Thus, The La Puente Adult High School, using the facilities of both Los Altos and La Puente High School campuses, ful- filled its educational goals. GOOD PIECE of work! commented William Fontenrose as he encouraged Adult Education Art student to pursue her drawing.
