Some of our students were surprised to learn that the school curriculum was academically oriented, with each student enrolled in six classes per day and a large percentage of them planned to pursue further education after graduation. Each person had ample opportunity to take advantage of the school district ' s finest facili- ties. Industrial Arts, Science, Physical Educa- tion and the Math departments were just a few examples of educational areas which offered opportunities for the students who wished to avail themselves of them.

A large majority of the student body quickly and completely emersed themselves in partici- pation of general activities such as sports, stu- dent government, and clubs and organizations, while many parents involved themselves in the Citizens Advisory Council, which dedicated it- self to the total welfare of the students. This group became deeply involved in curricular im- plementation in all academic disciplines. The new solar unit experiment added its uniqueness to UCHS also. This solar powered heat and air-conditioning power unit provided the latest in energy innovation in Southern California and attracted visitors from around the world. Certainly, UCHS had the most com- pletely modern energy plant available. Derrin Buchert caught oH guard. Students take a break at sophomore orienta- tion. 10
