». Vi Diversity Of Articles Widen Student Interest Even thou ' h tlic Kings Page staff had financial difficulties, it came through with one of the most widely read and popular news- papers in the school ' s history. Encouraging student participation on the editorial page, the King ' s Page proceeded on a liberalized course combining freedom to discuss any subject with a respon- sible approach to journalism. The paper covered not only campus events but also expanded itself to commenting on student related events in Santa Barbara and the nation. Environmental issues such as oil pollution, air pollution, and conser% ' ation were discussed. Such items as movie and book reviews added to the interest of the paper. Phil Myers, King ' s Page editor, checks even ' thing carefully before it goes to press. Pepe Carranza is engrossed in hi? work. KING ' S PAGE STAFF Front row: Bill Huclcly, Ron Morez.

Ski Club They Didn ' t Care Which, Water— Hard Or Soft Skiing of all types was the main objective of the San Marcos Ski Club this year. The club went water-skiing and snow-skiing as often as they could manage. Led by President Patty Hedden, the Ski Club sought to interest others on campus in skiing by show- ing films and having guest speakers during Enrichment periods, after school, and in the evenings. The films showed different ski- ing techniques and the speakers shared their experiencs. Besides getting people excited about skiing, the 1969-70 Ski Club got people excited about other people. Friendships sprang to life and everyone had a lot of fun. Fatly Hedden represents Ski Club at an ICC meetin.i;. 64

f . . L n Our most important visitor this year was Dr. Norman B. Scharer, Superintendent of Schools. Now, Ed. we need a picture that will fit here. ' Crown Sceptre Twenty Photographic Seconds Of School Life September 10, 1969 began the concentrated effort on the 1970 CROWN SCEPTRE. Procluction began with a staff of mostly inexperienced individual s who had no idea what work on a yearbook was Hke. After several lectures and prac- tice sessions, a confused staff began work on the rough draft of the book. However, much of the staff soon became quite expert ip their respective sections of the book and work pro- ceeded with some setbacks due to misunderstanding and lazi- ness. At the semester, approximately one-half of the staff left including all of the photographers. But this seeming hardship proved to be a blessing since more and better work was accom- plished after the staff became smaller. New advisor, Mr. Tom Newstetter brought many new ideas and philosophies which have improved the format of the book. Close to the end, the hours became long and many times conflicted with obligations and interests, new people had to be trained to be photographers, but the faithful always showed up and worked even if it was Saturday, after school, noon, or late evening. Soon after the advent of the extra work sessions, everyone became increasingly tired and nerves be- came raw; verbal battles were fought and won. But, in spite of all of the hardships, the 1970 CRONX ' N SCEPTRE presents twenty photographic seconds of school life. 66 fjiW r Gpli. k s i
