Space eeded for overflow Overcrowding continued to frustrate the ever busy admini- stration throughout the school year. The unexpected overflow of students required more class- room space than was available which created a greater need for new teachers to be hired to accommodate these demands. I would like to improve the teacherfstudent relationship so they can work together, said Beverly Lacy, vice principal. Other goals set by the district were to continue to improve basic skills such as writing, math, and reading. Also, was the task of trying to reduce the dropout rate. Administration also wanted to explore the possibility of year round school. Changes in curriculum were partially due to higher state re- quirements. Economics was add- ed in place of California State History, as a senior requirement in the Social Science Depart- ment. Other improvements were: Italian and Japanese lan- guages which were added to provide more variety in foreign languages. Another addition to the curriculum schedule was more available periods for dance classes. Within the school year there seemed to be an increasing amount of school spirit among the students, noted Mrs. Lacy This was demonstrated at school rallies, 'football games, and dan- ces. Mrs. Lacy planned to work with Student Government on a Have Pride week in the spring to emphasize on reducing litter and improving communications with residents in the area and businessmen at the Vineyard Shopping Center. An addition to the admini- stration office was a new com- puter for Jeanne Manley, secret- ary of Principal Floyd Williams, said Mrs. Lacy. .K , K il 2, l ' -5 Jw f in l ' , ' .Q , 1 W 5 ' fl, . xv Q. 1: if H D if 9 W :gpm W , 4 QV 1 I .' .g ffw .4 .1 V -.ff. .f, . ,.f,cf..n,.f '- -.. 1 by Tracy Walter Photos by Kent Wisenor Richard Abel Bruce Lattimer . fits.. - is .rs .1 . .
