Despite C.I.F. excitement, Robert Gonzalez, with a cupcake and balloon on his desk, concentrates on his English test.

Filling Timely Requirements It ' s your language, your government, your history- — something you ' ll use for life. That ' s why there are so many credits required in English and Social Sciences. Everyone took English ev- ery semester — from English I, II, III IV to English as a Second Language — to get the requried 40 credits. Some took English elective. Speech, Journalism, or Yearbook. Learning another lan- guage is interesting to me said Judy Tang who also knows Cantonese, Mandar- ine, Vietamese and Spanish. French and Spanish were electives, taken by those pre- paring for college, Spanish more frequently as many said they could use it more often. It ' s hard, but it ' s worth it because I want to learn, said Spanish II student Linda Ruiz. Required classes in social sciences included Introduc- tion to Social Sciences for freshmen; Driver ' s Ed., usu- ally taken by sophomores; U.S. History for juniors and a semester of American Gov- ernment for seniors. The one class needed to fill the 30 credits was selected from California History, sociology or psychology. Vickie Evans said she learned a lot from Mrs. Bierbaum ' s lectures and many kids enjoyed Mr. Gale ' s psychology classes for the discussions. 106 Languages Social Sciences

Creating Under Pressure Anyone involved with the fine arts knows what it is to be under pressure. Band and chorus members had to learn their music and be able to re- main calm when performing in front of audiences. Ceram- ics, painting and drawing students had to be creative under pressure as they had pieces of art to be done and deadlines to meet. The reward was an exhibi- tion of talent at concerts, art exhibitions, and ceramic sales. Outstanding talent re- ceived honors and recogni- tions. Two such students were Elaine Burn, who was a member of the California Music Association All-State Honor Choir and the South- ern California Vocal Associ- ation Honor Choir, and Linda Lock, who was a Southern California Vocal Association Honor Choir Alternate. 108 Fine Arts
