The backs of several students' heads are seen as they look forward at the blackboard where fellow students Warner Autonson and Jerri Lee work on problems. Mrs. Dean writes on the board with chalk while Ms. Cunningham stands near reading from a book.

More than 16, 000 adult men and women in Los Angeles are taking adult classes on everything from landscaping, interior decorating, cooking, sketching, knitting, and learning a second language.
