Of the five senses, sight and hear- ing are the most valuable to educa- tion. Classroom demonstrations and lectures require both senses for the student to learn. But Valley has more than just classroom demon- strations and lectures in which those two senses are necessary. Valley's audio-visual department supplements the demonstrations and lectures with films, slides, records, filmstrips and other aids to educa- tion. Under the directorship of Paul H. Mitchem, coordinator of audio- visual services, and Kenneth Palmer, audio-visual technician, the AV de- partment performs a multitude of services for the school. Probably the first thing a person thinks about when he hears audio- visual is hlms for motion pictures. A large part of the AV department is devoted to purchasing, stocking, supplying and choosing educational films for Valley. Part of the 33,000 spent yearly by the AV department has .been used to purchase approximately 160 films over the 10-year span which the department has been in opera- tion.

Alan Kara, all-city champion diver, - exhibits the form that won . . 1 him the title, three years in a row. He dwes 'mo The Wefef fmlh the greatest of ease.. .arching high over the board, Kara starts another high point dive. Water, vvater everywhere Silhouetted against the sun, on a board 10 feet off the ground, Allan Kara, Valley College's new champion diver, prepares to plunge into the pool of water be- neath him. Posture perfect, he advances to the edge of the boardg with body rigid and knees bent slightly, he skillfully completes his dive. This scene is re-enacted daily at the San Fernando Athletic Club, where Kara works out from 4 to 5:30 Monday through Friday, keeping in shape for meets in which he contests for Valley College. Kara has been diving since the age of 11, when upon parental advice he signed up with instructor Nick Rodionoff, under whose guidance he has grown from an inexperienced boy to a nationally known diving champion. Kara held the all-city championship record for three years, and the AAU state age group contest for three consecutive years. He also ranked ninth in the nation in the National AAU springboard diving cham- pionship. Kara's diving skill boasts the perfection of such difficult exhibitions as the forward 3 W, the reverse 1 M with a 2 16 twist, the back 2 MZ, the reverse 2 W and the inward 2 lk. If Kara places in the first 10 in the nationals this year with these dives, he will be sent to the Olympic , tryouts, sponsored by his athletic club. Kara's diving perfection is ac- complished through many long hours of rigorous training.
