Said Robert Lozano, de- partment head, We are able to keep the art program going be- cause of lprincipall Ted Simon- son 's recognition that art is a vi- able and important program for the school and the community. According to Mr. Lozano, L.C.H.S. was one of the few schools that still offered art classes in sequential style. Each succeeding level ofart went into particular aspects more deeply than the previous level. Mr. Lozano attributed the decreased enrollment in art classes to new priorities, the new University of YM M'--my Ellsworth Welch Wildcat for 35 years Classes: chemistry Interests: gardening, music, swimming, di- ving, travel 'Nui' Wx Bert Donlon Wildcat for 22 years Classes: geometry, photography Interests: photography, gardening T K 5 I Q! - 9.2-tiles, f If s 'X - Eff!

Because of these, students didn't have the time to take an art class, at best, students took one year of art and never got full expo- sure to art. lvlr. Lozano said, In 7973, the school had 33 different art classes, in 7984, the school only had 73 different classes. That is bad. One thing that was very positive about the program was its level of sophistication. The art program has not been degraded to the level of under- water basketweaving, we still provide a highly sophisticated education that gives a real fine exposure to all kinds of media. In other words, we still had ex- cellent programs in 3-D draw- ing, painting, ceramics, and many other areas. Faculty I 49

During this period, which started at 7: 15 and ended at 8:70, the teachers taught two biology courses, one physics course, and two chemistry courses. In response to the need for more science faculty, the school hired Vicki Wendell, Steve Hammack, lohn Caleca, and Dar- ryl Haywood. Mr. MacDonald spent a year in England while Mr. Haywood spent a year here under the auspices of the Fulbright Scholarship Program.

Furthermore, se- nior science lab was discon- tinued and replaced by Adv- anced Placement Biology. A.P. Biology was taught by Mr. Har- vey, the department head. Mr. Harvey's class was an excellent preparation for the A.P. test, a chance to earn college credit for high school work. David Williams and Ionathan Bain find their science class amusing. .
