Unlimited Resources Westwood High is especially luck to possess a well-equiped media center. Our librarians are always available to lend a helping hand in order to find some crucial bit of information for a research paper, and our media specialist does everything from preparing the PA system at pep rallies to filming various school events. The class of 1987 extends sincere thanks to this helpful staff. Home Is Where The Heart Is Even in the agee of the Yuppie, the Life Skills and Science Dept. remains as popular and as inexpendible as ever. Coordinated by Mr. Lawrence Rettman, the curiculum in- cludes courses in clothing,, foods, and child growth. The Class of ' 87 appreciates all that this department has taught us, and hopes to see the number of males involved continue to rise! Mrs. Mary Bishop Mr. Eugene Swezey Creativity At Its Best Mrs. Virginia McCoubrey Coordinated by Mr. Lawrence Rettman, the Industri- al Arts courses serve as a forum for students skill and creativity.
