1 lan Branham: Young people of today are more independent, candid and at times, more conscience of living than the teens of my era. The biggest ldif. ference is for all young females-girls were forbidden even to wear slacks when attended high school, much less play football or take woodshop. We've come 3 long way. 2 Kristi Colellz When I was in high school the fine arts programs were non-existent. Our present programs relating to the arts are tremendous assets to the education of the student. I do wish that with the progress in class, students could somehow recapture the self-discipline that the students of my youth were able to main- tain. 3 Pete Fisher 4 Carla Larson: The students are more sophisticated today than they were when I was in high school leeek-late 40'sJ. We didn't have the influence of T.V. and drugs were unheard of. Also we were taught to listen to and respect the teacher. Otherwise, we had our cliques and fads like the high school students of today. Hey, did you know that blue jeans are the biggest rage in Europe? 5 john Ledwon 6 Carolyn Pinkston 8 Chris Sawyer Again this year, the Art department presented at the Arts Council Cultural Center an exhibition of art work by selected students. An- other special show displayed the accomplishments of most art depart- ment students. Many other activities were continued this year, such as craft sales, Christmas window decoration at Fazio's, and numerous awards won at various county exhibitions. The Music department involved more students in order to spark enthusiasm and improve their quality, as was displayed in their per- formances throughout the year. The choir showed their spirit from the beginning musical, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown , to a spring concert, to a full length play at the end of the year. The band, alon with the drum-major and drill team, competed against other schooi covering Southern California. In most instances, they left various awards. The drum line, one of the best in Southern California, ex- hibited their talent in many excellent performances. The award win- ning unit received a set of Roto-Toms as a result of a superb presenta- tion.

Newbury Park's administrators are hard- working, friendly Ipeople, determined to make Newbury Par the best school in the district. Their concern for the school and students' welfare is genuine. With the ad- ministration's help, Panther Power has become a fact. Following the theme of Old Days'Q the Pawprint staff requested the faculty and administration to answer one of the follow- ing questions: 1, What activity are you glad to see is no longer taking pace at Newbury Park High School? 2. What activity or program would you like to see introduced at N.P.H.S.? 3. What were some of the typical pastimes of your high school days that are still being enjoyed today at Newbury Park? 4. How do you think high school students of toda compare to those of your high school cllays? The Pawprint staff thanks the many who responded. CONCERNED, HARD WORKING, SPIRITED, KIN if D 1 Administration 259

The Business department offers students the opportunity for education in many different specialized occupations. It pre- pares students for business employment as well as general related business experiences. The teachers attempt to provide individualization with proj- ects suited to the student's capabilities. BOSS, a newly installed program, allows students to progress at their own pace, select- ing their areas of study from a variety of subjects, using equip- ment which includes the up-to-date Automatic IBM Memory Typewriter. Simulated Office is equipped and operates like an actual business office allowing training in office systems and procedures. Remodeling of two rooms was done to allow accounting students to easy access of calculators.
