Swim 2V2 miles in rough water? Bike 112 miles? Then run a marathon, all in the same dayl? Maybe not for you and me but this is something that Coach Joseph Kovacevich takes a liking to. His dedication and discipline enabled him to train for the most strenuous of athletic competition, the triathalon - which involves running, swimming, and biking. He has competed in mini triathalons here in San Diego but his goal was to rival the stiff compe- tition of the world in the famous triathalon in Hawaii.

According to Hotchkiss, students didn't treat the campus as well as they would have treated their own homes, and he believed we had one of the messiest campuses in the city. Still, Hotchkiss felt that the standards at our school were better than any other school distressed Hotchkiss. Most students, he felt, did just enough to get by, but no more.

Hotchkiss would extend the school day and increase graduation re- quirements. 90070 of our teachers did an excellent job, but they lacked the facilities and money nec- essary. Hotchkiss also revealed that too many students were put into one classroom at a time. English teacher Hotchkiss hopes for im- provement in our already fine school. The school is great, but can always be better. He has offered constructive criticism which can always help, and gave us some things to think about in the future. 294 Administration Staff l I
