' h Duo Dedication The other special person who the 1978 TORCH is dedicated to is also a person who loves to work with kids. She was born and raised in Whittier. She attended Hoover Elementary, Dexter Junior High, and graduated from Whittier High School. After high school she lived in Spain at age 18. She taught Drama at Rio Hondo College and was also a student there and at Cal Stale Fullerton. Her major in college was Drama. She has obtained throughout the years a Standard Teaching Credential, a Community College Credential in Theatre, a BA in Drama, and a Master ' s in Theatre. Her hobbies are teaching drama, collecting boxes (which are on display in her living room), and taking care of the fish that live in her backyard pond. As of right now, she is our one and only, fantastic drama teacher. She loves teaching kids and says it feels good in her heart. She loves her students and she feels as though they were her own. She is very proud of her students, especially when they do well. We have one of the biggest drama departments at Pioneer and it ' s all because of her and her power to get these kids going. She had a chance once to be an actress but she turned it down. She wanted to stay here at Pioneer and teach Theatre Arts; that ' s one thing a lot of people might not do. This is why we dedicate the 1978 TORCH to . . . CAROLYN GILWEIT
