Summer School '78 Tuition Plan Proves Worthwhile
San Marino's first tuition summer program, reinstated by La Verne University after Proposition 13 cutbacks, has shown strong results with over 700 students near completion.

Elementary classes end Friday and high school sessions finish next Friday with per-class costs of 30 dollars for elementary and 50 dollars for high school.
