The learning experience, wifh all its intricate and complex aspects, is the basis for any school ' s existence. A school that wishes t o keep in step with the fast pace of modern civilization must constantly add new and different classes to its curriculum to provide an even more diversified field of knowledge for its students. Through careful and well-planned lessons, teach- ers are faced with the challenge of creat- ing an interesting and enlightening learn- ing situation for students at all levels. Every individual is encouraged to make himself aware of historical fact, current world issues, and to form in a logical way his opinions about society today. Such are the marks of schools that are doing all they can to produce informed and responsible citizens and such is true at Rolling Hills High School, where the indi- vidual is given every opportunity to de- velop to his maximum potential. The over-all efficiency and effective- ness of the school is constantly reviewed by its staff and periodically assessed by a team of educational experts. RHHS passed its first test along the latter line in early December when a two-man team of accreditors from the Western Associa- tion of Schools and Colleges visited the campus to evaluate the progress the school had made since its opening 1 5 months previous.

Dr. Butterbaugh In Eighth Year The mammoth task of overseeing and managing a school district containing 15 schools and thousands of students was handled for the eighth straight year by Dr. Wayne L. Butterbaugh, superintendent of schools. Under the superintendent ' s direction and guidance, many would-be problems of one of the fastest-growing school districts in the nation were met and treated efficiently and effectively. Concerned as always with the future growth of the peninsula and providing the best possible education for its students, the Polos Verdes Unified School District Board of Trustees made many crucial policy decisions during the past year. Among these were the purchase of sites for the district ' s fourth high school, the approval of plans for the construction of Miraleste High, and the adoption of a new and expancfed foreign language program in the intermediate schools. Some efforts of the board that were of immediate delight to Rolling Hills stu- dents were the authorization of the pur- chase and installation of the bleachers and landscaping and the formulation and approval of plans for the new campus swimming facilities.
