waiting future Packing 3,000 students into a facility originally de- signed to hold 1 ,900 seems incredible, but because of a top-notch administrative staff and a supportive teach- ing crew, Rubidoux High School pulled it off, and guite successfully at that. But after a time, some- V.-- thing has to give; this time it will be the doors to a new high school. When the new high school is finished, both high schools will hold about 2,300 students. The first year there won ' t be 2,300 students because of the split, stated Dr. Ron Need- ham, assistant principal. The site for Jurupa Valley High School is not yet known. Though it is yet to be decided as to who will at- tend the new school and what the boundaries will be, it is more likely that Jurupa Valley High School will serve the students at the western end of the district, with students in the eastern end attending Rubidoux, the first, and presently the only high school in the dis- trict. e 1 .

pgraded education 1 Can you imagine being stuffed into a Science class with 36 students? That used to be the feeling until this year when more Science classes came into operation to accomodate more stu- dents. Since graduation require- ments had changed, more Science classes were need- ed, and the demand for more had risen. The advan- tage of having more rooms was that teachers now had adeguate lab facilities in which to teach their stu- dents. Students had different opinions when they heard they needed more credits to graduate. Well, I have to take the class anyway, since I ' m a college prep student, stated Jill Spiekerman. Most science teachers felt increasing credits was good for students. Science is a pervasive reality of our own modern world; we are influ- enced, increasingly, each day of our lives, stated sci- ence teacher, Terrance Shaw.
