' ' School Within a School'proves relevant School Within A School, an alternative to the system, completed its first year of existence. ln addition to the normal class offerings, many extra curricular activities were scheduled. Guest speakers from all over the country came, movies were presented, and field trips to varied points around the Bay all added to the school's ability to reach students. Before school started, some of the students and teachers got together for a camp-out at Kerby Cove. The purpose of the trip was to develop good teacher-student relationships, a more relaxed atmosphere.
