Richard Freed Gary McGinnis No comment. No comment. Fine Art , as Norm Sanford Marilyn Simone No comment. No comment. Kristi Colell My most humorous experience 1974, in two words, is Donald Dubnow. Dennis Reed, D.C. After explaining to a class that we only had a limited number of rulers which must be properly cared for, I heard a loud snap. As much to his own surprise as to mine, a student in the front row had broken a yardstick over his own head. Pete Fisher, Music D.C. Six days in beautiful Hawaii with 140 terrific students and a great half-time show has to be my most memorable teaching experience. Ron Shannon No comment. Art Maldonado Students I will never forget are: Anita, Lynn, Tracy, Gary, Paula, Kim, Carrie, Denise, Wendy, Tammy, Maurya, Phil and Bill-and not necessarily in that order. Lorie Ponzuric My most memorable events at Newbury Park High School have been the opening nights of each of the plays. After all of the time spent in rehearsal, and all of the nervous butterflies before the shows, the applause at the final curtain is most appreciated. Bob Valentine No comment. Art Department Dear Mom, The art department at this school is really great! They have film festivals every month: Betty Boop, Horror movies, and stuff like that. In December we decorated Fazio's Market for Christmas. There are lots of great courses to take, like print- making and photography. The photo lab has been improved, and now people with cameras are all over school, and developing very well. Many students won awards at the Pageant of the Oaks con- test for their work in painting, drawing, and photography. All of the art teachers are back, including Mrs. Colell, who took last year off to have a baby! She enjoyed the vacation so much, she's taking another. All her vacations seem to come with babies. I think I'll take art next year. Your son, Herman Music Department The music department comes in assorted sized and shapes, 150 band members and attached units marched in parades and performed half-time shows, while 85 Black Orpheus members gave their talent to musical shows throughout the year from Back-to- School Night through the Spring Show. Others, such as the stage band, have performed at various school activities in concert, and hosted their own lazz Festival. Faculty 151

The applications for the logical reason- ing structure of mathematics is un- limited.

Allen Epstein No comment. Robert R. Thomas Mr. Thomas, observing that one of his students is not paying attention to the explanation of the Pythagorean Theorem: What do you think David? Davis pops up in his seat and says, Er, aw, uh, what do you think, Mr. Thomas? Mr. Thomas answers, David, I don't think, I know! David answers, Hwell, Mr. Thomas, I don't think I know either. lim Wilkes At the end ol my third year of teaching, after putting up with and then dealing with students shooting rubber bands in class, my geometry class presented to me a wooden plaque award for patience. Attached to it was a 12-foot tail made of rubber bands. Iohn Mutolo Brush-off in parking lot. Dennis McKeown My most humorous moment occurred last year when my third period class, seeking a rest from their constant laughter at my jokes, used a recorded laugh track one day. Francis Simonin No comment. lea LaBarthe My most memorable student was the one who offered me S50 for an A. Kathy Vieth My most memorable students! I'd need 1200 words just to name them.

The department is involved in a new Physical Education Program this year. It is experimenting with co-ed classes where the students are rovided the opportunity to enroll in co-e or regular P.E. classes. The classes are taught by teachers from both Girls' and Boys' P.E. Co-ed activities include such sports as archery, softball, badminton, wei ht training, and tennis. The students also have the unique op- portunity to elect the three sports and teacher for the semester. So far, we have between three and four co-ed classes each period. Long range plans include ability group- ing and specialized classes for g mnastics, dance, and, athletics. at i as sfl 1 ' If as is .. 27?-fix W? A 92 si. Q H 'ii . .
