All the awards just add to the pres- tige of Saddleback, she concluded. Saddleback students are great to work with.

I believe in the educational ad- vantages offered to the stu- dents by the AP program. — Mrs. Jan Palmer A Mrs. Baron, the AP Calculus teacher, explains a problem which Helene Van and Hae Sook Yi find diffi- cult. It ' s a challenging class. says Hae Sook but Helene added. All of us will do well on the AP test because Mrs. Baron prepares us well. Mrs. Palmer reviews the scenes and acts of Ham- let so that her students may learn and appreciate Shakespear ' s art. Hopefully there will be no sur- prises on the AP English exam because the students will have already covered most of the material for the exam.
