FACULTY GAVE TIME IN AN ATTEMPT TO MEET STUDENTS' NEEDS A A school in which the faculty and students communicate well was rarely found. This belief grew less and less true as the years went by at our school. Endless organizations, extracurricular activities and extra time given from the faculty closed the communication gaps. as A Teachers had been known to begin their school day at seven o'clock in the morning and not leave the campus for home until four or five o'clock in the evening. One rec- ognized this as dedication at it's fin- est. One superb example of this de4 votion was Mr. Orrin Cross, Creative Arts Department Head, who usually arrived to school by 7:45 in the morn- ing and ended his day about ten o'clock in the evening with play practice on select days. Cross' work was never done. Clubs united students with teachers. They gave them the oppor- tunity to associate with people who they may have not encountered duri ing their daily class schedules. Clubs such as U.S.A. Travel broadened students' horizonssby bringing them to different states in America. Orga- nizations like these cater to both the student and the advisor. Students participated in these clubs and formed friendships with the faculty. Theys realized that the faculty, too, were people. Eunice.Barruel, senior, com- mented, I had noticed a definite change for the better in the relations between the students and faculty. The efforts of many teachers had paid off. A great outcome of the time shared swastthat the advisors recog- nized the students as young adults, challengingresponsibilities and ma- turing as the days progressed. Orga- nizations like these enhanced adult! youth communication. - Chris- topher M Herediaand Christine Carlson A DO YOU HAVE A MINUTE?? Seniors Ioanna Lucido and lessica Mederos are caught having a little talk with Mr. McAdams in the quad. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT Becky Nguyen helps Sony Lam learn a new song on the piano, as Ioseph Vongnakhoni looks on. We are one of the very few schools in the area which offers a piano class. A UTO SHOP Seniors Iohn Carter and Scott Caddow have a dirty job, but it's all in the name of education. Auto Shop is a. favoriteamong many students. .
