Once again Redwood was represented at the annual Model United Nations Conference at the University of California at Berkeley. The conference was held in early February. There were over 100 schools represented and over 1,000 students participated. This year Redwood High School's U.N. nation was Portugal. Throughout the year the delegates chosen to represent the school worked hard to learn the policies of the country as well as its stands on major issues that have arisen in the last year. Each country has five committies. Each commit- tee sends one or two resolutions which might be chosen for use in the conference. Any money that is needed for support of the Model U.N. is provided by the school. The chairman was Lee F ishel and the advisor was Mrs. Neubauer. REDWOOD REPRESENT PORTUGAL IN THIS YEARS, MODEL U.N.

ff-my' Mr. Guthrie g . 4. Q tij- f,iiIw2,'2.-, - if Mrs. Roberts A TRIBUTE TO THREE FACULTY MEMBER Mr. Ira Guthrie has been a science teacher at Redwood since 1964. Previous to this he had taught in Benicia and Tuolome. Before enter- ing the teaching profession in 1954, Mr. Guthrie experimented in farm management, radar repair, bank appraising, construction, and owning a packing company. Having received his bachelor of science degree in 1932 at the University of California at Davis, he has since done graduate work at the Uni- versity of Utah, Sacramento State, University of California, San Jose State, San Fransico State, Fresno State, and Dominican College. In a letter to the Tamalpais School Board he wrote: I have enjoyed my tenure here and I do wish to acknowledge my appreciation of the high degree cooperation given me by the staff of Redwood High School and of the district staff of the Tamalpais High School District? Miss Patricia Pendergast, a history teacher and yearbook advisor at Redwood since 1959, had prior experience teaching at Hood River, Oregon and Manhattan Beach, California. The following is taken from her letter addressed to the school board: On February 15 I shall become the bride of Mr. Edwin Blossom, and I feel that his residence and employment in Mass- achusetts require my presence there. . .I par- ticularly wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Don Kreps, principal of Redwood High School, under whom it has been my privilege to serve for the past ten years. His support and the dem- onstration of his confidence in the professional ability of the members of his staff have played a large role in the new and innovative curriculum which has been adopted in the interests of better education. It is with much sadness that at this moment of separation I see the possibility of such devel- opments as the dissolution of this district oflarg- er class sizes, of a developing rigidity of com- munication between the board and the staff. I believe that the district in which I have been proud to serve has achieved a position of educa- tional eminence and leadership in community and country, and I can only hope that nothing may transpire or be changed that would jeopar- dize this respected positionf, Mrs. Jean Roberts was a nurse at Tam High School, coming to Redwood when it opened. Here are excerpts from her letter to the school board: It was a strange feeling when the Met- ropolitan Life Insurance Company decided to close its nursing service. . .It was then I decided to investigate school nursing and while I was taking my first course, I learned of the vacancy at Tamalpais High School. I enjoyed my five years there. When Redwood opened I asked to be trans- ferred, as I had never had the experience of working in a new situation where programs and traditions were being built. I could not have found a better field in which to round out my professional career. My thanks to you and to all of the other members of the staff with whom I have worked during a very pleasant sixteen years. We of the Log staff would like to thank these three faculty members for the wonderful job they have done for the students of Redwood High School. We hope that each has a wonder- ful life ahead and we will never forget the hard work they have put forth for us.
