L : ii- Zgt Stott Eases E S ll Fears by: Colleen Parent Biology, the class where we had to dissect frogs and watch bean plants grow, caused many students to feel squeamish upon entering room Q07 for the first time. However, once entering, they were greeted by Mr. Ken Stott. The class is then put at ease when Stott explains, You may ask any question in this class, and I will try to answer it. ln your entire life time, you should never stop asking questions. Stott does answer each and every question to the best of his ability. Stott first taught Biology in 1980, and also became the freshman football coach. His coaching talent did not stop there, as he then coached the J.V. baseball team and the girls' tennis team. Stott was a fundamental reason for the return of the varsity boys' tennis team in 1984 after a 4-year break. He feels that everyone has a chance to play a sport and is willing to teach tennis to anyone who wishes to learn. Stott's patience is also seen in the room, where he tries to help anyone who needs it. He challenges the minds of the students and turns a very ordinary subject into one that can be exciting and fun to learn. In all of 7 years, Stott has become deeply involved in our school and has shared a great deal of himself with the students. Publications commends him for his work and dedicates this book to him.

Counselor Can Be Helpful by: Pam de Leon Tending to the needs of high school students is the responsibility of each counselor in addition to their own special duties they provide for students. Mrs. Darlene Wilson came to the high school 6 years ago from Hillview Junior High School. She made the switch from junior high to senior high because she liked helping students with their career planning. Her primary goal as a counselor was to alert students of the many alternatives available. lt's very rewarding to help students set goals for their future and to help them strive to achieve these goals, replies Wilson. Mr. Guillermo Barcenas is involved with students learning English as a second language. Mrs. Pat Diokno coordinated most of the district's testing program CPSAT, Hart Bill Proficiency Examsb for the high school. Mr. Andy De Stefano handled the distribution of college applications and arranged for college representative visitations. Wilson took care of scholarship information and financial aid. Mrs. Hallie Wutzke coordinated special ed and became involved with the CORE program. Mrs. Wutzke is retiring after 19 years at Pittsburg High. Mrs. Cantrell gives her English CORE instructions for their family tree project. Students made mobiles, grape vines and trees.
