Well, students and parents were working hard there, too. Many students learned the funda- mentals of a library in library science and library service classes. The library science class learned how to do research work, take in- ventory, keep shelves orderly, check books in and out, and take care of magazine files. The class consisted of Nancy Padilla, Patty Volz, Dana John- son, Mary Molloy, Richard Heitman, Larry Drago. Heinz Kohne, Brendan Murray, Dora Tovar, Emma Gutierrez and Mark Thorpe. Library service was open to students who had already taken library science. Service people used the skills they had learned to keep the library run- ning smoothly. This class con- sisted of Helen Hyner, Patty Volz, Chris Paquette, Dana Johnson, Laura Lopez, and Ken Olivares. Another group which helped to keep the library in top oper- ating condition was the crew of volunteer mothers.

Mariner staff weathers storm Reporting about campus news and activities related to the students was the goal of this year's Mariner news- paper staff. Some staff members attended a two-week journalism workshop held at the University of Southern Cali- fornia over the summer. This work- shop improved journalistic skills, created new ideas, and brought high school writers from the Los Angeles area together to share some old ideas. Problems arose, said Editor Katy Hallal, with our deadlines and trying to meet them. Financing also became a problem when our pub- lishing cost went up to the point where it exceeded our budget.” Originally, eight publication dates had been planned but, because of escalating costs, only five issues were published. To save money, the staff- ers did their own paste-ups which was a definite expansion of journal- istic skills and allowed for more flex- ibility in headline styles and format. At the end of the year, Quill and Scroll pins were awarded to all Mar- iner writers and staff. According to Mariner adviser Sis- ter Jeanne Virginia, It's been a tough year but a definite learning ex- perience for everybody.” (1) Taking lime out from an afternoon of paste-ups are Gary Sullivan (Assis- tant Editor and Business Manager) Katy Hallal (Editor), and Teresa Garcia (Copy Editor) (2) Editorials are turned out with a smile by Denise Verville (4 year veteran of the Mariner and Co- editor. first semester) (3) Largely re- sponsible for keeping the Mariner af- loat is top ad salesman Tom Rollerson (Ads Manager) (4) Mariner staff writers include (back) Laura Fabrega.
