Seniors stash their trash! On Thursday, September 26, fifty students from Alameda High traded places with fifty students from Encinal High as part of Operation Understanding. The purpose of the enchange was to broaden relationships and widen understanding between the two schools. Encinal and’‘Alameda students met in classes and discussed problems which have faced the two schools, and the solutions to those problems. In addition, student body officers, football coache s, and football players from each school spoke on school tensions at an exchange rally. All the speakers stressed that while each school wanted to win the big game, sportsmanship would be put above all. Other Big Game Week activities included a Stash the Trash contest won by the seniors, an Egg Toss and a Tricycle Race won by sophomores Richard Deal and Bobbie Friley, and Sophomore John Johnson, respectively. The Hornets climaxed the week by defeating the Encinal Jets 61-0. Fall Spirit Boosted By Homecoming, Big Game Weeks Kathy Evans enhibits one of her many talents. A bubble gum blowing contest, slave auctions, wishing well contest, and voting for Homecoming Queen, were Who's the prettiest?

Instead of reading minutes of the student meetings, Nineteen sixty-nine is a year of change, politically and socially. The students of AHS felt this change and elected spring officers to reflect their feelings. Under the leadership of Spring President Mark Reese, student body meetings took on new dimensions with such entertainment as soul bands, poetry readings, and contemporary plays. Students were encouraged to ask questions or offer suggestions for assembly entertainment by a new system of backstage communication The minutes of Ad Board meetings were read at the meetings with the hope of informing students of the behind the scenes workings. Student Government Receives New Definition FR©EDOM am f lo ¥ Serving on the Spring Ad Board: John Johnson, Mark Reese, Ann Arriola, Sherrie Archibald, Erik Wampler, Melody Witter, Mark McKee, Chris Waldear, Jim Blamire, Laurie Issac, Celia Schwarz, Natalie Pryor, Carolyn Corn, Curt Brohard, Gary Flowers, John Henry, Ben Garfinkle, Lance Seely, Harry Paslay, Pat Dorhety, Linda Trevino, Kevin Kearny, Jane Broadbent, Jill Shaw, Janet Tudal, Lonnie Soma Doug Matz, Jean Miller, Dorie Smulyan, Shelley Searle, Kneave Riggall, Jeff Sosnick, and Jeanne Burke, Spring Student Court, ponder over one of the many cases.

Fall Ad Board members concerned themselves primarily with constitutional revisions. Some of the issues related to the change were whether or not boys should be allowed to wear beards, qualifications for student body and class candidates, and the selection system for pom-pon girls and yell-leaders. In the fall semester student court consisted of nine members. During the spring, this number was reduced to seven. Student Court services the school by reviewing the many citations issued weekly by the Boards of Control, and acting on those accordingly. Planning the formats of fall assemblies were: Shirley Schact, Barry Murphy, Sherry Lemmon, Gail Seagren, Cherie Essex, Ben Garfinkle, Ed Jaber, Gail Castaldo, Karen Kleinhans Variety of Student Meetings Planned Each week, the student body meetings are planned and organized by a committee of students and administrative advisors. The Assembly Planning Committee arranges for the entertainment for the weekly student meetings. Programs for the year included A. B. Skye rock band, the Young Americans singing group, a student lecturer from San Francisco State College, the annual student talent show, and excerpts from the various drama productions.

The Fall Men’s Board of Control was ever-watchful on the job One of the most important positions at AHS is a position on the Board of Control. When a person accepts a position on Board of Control, he is taking upon himself the responsibility to not only keep order in the halls and at student body meetings, but also to set an example of good conduct for all other students around him at all times. Mrs. Hoeksema is the advisor for the Women’s Board of Control, and Mr. Conner is the counselor for the Men's. They are present at all Board of Control meetings to supervise and offer constructive suggestions. At meetings, each group reviews and discusses school problems and citations issued in the past week.

Conceived and directed by Mr. Lloyd Sisler, the pageant portrayed the various means through which man may seek the peace he needs. Mr. Sisler was greatly assisted in the production by the dance, music, and art departments, who provided many of the charming and beautiful scenes in the program. Along with the traditional nativity and department store scenes, there were scenes depicting a street fight. two feuding families. a Jewish wedding dance, immigrants surrounding the Statue of Liberty, soldiers at war, and “Christmas in the home”. The student director of this year’s pageant was Kathi Dowling. Sherry Lemmon, John Galena, Ralph Martinelli and JoAnn Amaya rehearse their street fight scene. Denise Dungan adds snow to her snowman as Doug Ball and Judy Smitherman prepare their home for Newlyweds Linda Vraciu and Kirby Eaton begin Christmas. the Jewish wedding dance as Rabbi Jeff Sosnick looks on The Junior Prom Court of 1969 consisted of Sue Craddock, Monica Wurtz. Queen Debbie Harmola, Diane Wooten, and Pam Cooke Juniors Set Back Clock for Medieval Prom Dancers enjoyed the medieval decorations of the Junior Prom, Camelot. On the night of February 7, the gym was transformed into a medieval castle, complete with draw bridge and a knight in shining armor, when the Class of 1970 presented the Junior Prom, “Camelot.” Debbie Harmola reigned as queen. Her subjects danced to the music of The Crisis. Camelot manager Gary MacDowell places the crown on Queen Debbie's head World of “Peanuts” Comes to AHS On October 11, the class of ‘71 presented the annual Soph Hop, this year entitled “Peanuts.”” Members of the sophomore class elected Mary Gallagher manager, with Mark Nahnsen assisting her as co-manager. As those attending the dance entered, they passed through a large replica of the famous Snoopy’s doghouse, which had been constructed by the decorations committee headed by Bill Sibbett. Other decorations included a large paper airplane hanging from the ceiling, and several drawings of “Peanuts” characters which were scattered throughout the gym. Music for the affair was provided by the “Pink Wedge.” Capable direction for this year's Soph Hop was provided by Manager Mary Gallagher and Co-Manager Mark Nahnsen Dancers enjoy the music at “Peanuts”, the Soph Hop 48 | a7'eee - on Oe Tl Darlene Bussell, Evelyn Bruzzone, Debii Recknor, and Debi Best In the spring, Linda Struse, Shirley Brown, Gloria Wesenberg and Debi Best planned Courtesy were officers of the Courtesy Board this fall Board activities. Holidays Are Highlighted With Gifts From Courtesy Board Assisting students, faculty members, and visitors at Alameda High in all possible ways is the main objective of the Courtesy Board. Some of the ways in which they fulfill this ambition is by conducting the eighth grader’s tour of the school, directing freshmen at orientation, and making Easter and Christmas decorations. During each period, there is also a Courtesy Board member seated at the desk in the main hall to give aid to any visitor or faculty member who wishes it. Girls show off Christmas decorations which were presented to the adults of the school. Mamas Trounce Babies 22-0 Experience proved the deciding factor of the Seventh Annual Powder Puff Football Classic as the Senior Mamas triumphed over the Underclass Babies by a score of 22-0. Jill Shaw led the winning team in scoring by intercepting two passes and running for a touchdown on each interception. Their other touchdown was gained through a pass by Quarterback Cookie Thomas to Linda Stambaugh, with one minute left in the first half. A safety for two points in the first quarter completed the scoring. The Mamas had an exceptionally fine defense, allowing the Babies to pose only two serious scoring threats, and holding them to relatively little yardage. However the Babies’ quarterback Nancy Stipic moved the ball well on a number of occasions. Half-time entertainment was once again provided by a troupe of excellent (?) pom-pon boys. This year the line-up consisted of Nick Synodinos, Bob Clark, Kirk Peel, Lance Seely, Randy Horton, Tony Mazzi, Joe Kurlinski, and Kimo Jennings.

Linda Stambaugh and Jill Shaw practice the fine art of football Attending Alameda High this year as part of the American Field Service exchange program are Asa Ericson and Nicolaos Synodinos. Nick, a sixteen year old Greek National from Cyprus, lived with the Claude Grout family while attending classes with his American ‘brother’, Gary Grout. Nick attended senior classes, although at home in Cyprus he is only a junior. He enjoys swimming, water skiing, and spear fishing, and likes to listen to music. He terms his favorite subjects as physics, swimming, and girls. Asa’s home town is Karistad, Sweden, and in Alameda she resides with the Milton Keenan family. She tells of her own impressions of the United States as follows: .. 1 joined AFS to learn about the U.S.; to live and feel it. | came to learn about the people, not just the country. Coming to Alameda has broken my image of America. I've found that nothing is typical. Before | came, the U.S. to me was Lyndon Johnson and Lucille Bail. It seems like I've gone to AHS and lived in Alameda all my life.” Asa’s favorite subjects are English and public speaking. She is already planning for her future, saying, “When | grow up | want to become involved. I'm interested in architecture, politics, and helping under-developed countries.” Ts 75.

Broadbent Travels To Sister City The city of Alameda was well-represented this year when Jane Broadbent traveled to Sweden to participate in Alameda’s Sister City program with Lidingo, Sweden. Jane was chosen to make the trip from twelve semi-finalists from all four of the city’s high schools. She was selected on the basis of an essay she wrote concerning herself, her family, and her life in Alameda, and an interview conducted by the Sister City Committee of Alameda. While staying in Sweden, Jane resided with five different families, and visited the cities of Lidingo, Stockholm, and Upps ala. She also traveled by boat to Sandham, one of the last remaining islands off the coast of Sweden. For Jane, the highlights of her trip were the many hours she spent sightseeing; visiting Dome Church, a national cathedral in Uppsala; and taking the boat trip to Sandham. She added that while it was difficult for her to become accustomed to the extremely long periods of daylight, “there was no great difference in everyday customs”. Jane exhibits her carpentry skill by forcefully pounding a nail into a log While visiting Sweden, Jane enjoyed six weeks at Stockholm. Vocal Groups Perform Throughout Community Alameda High's vocal groups performed at a number of community as well as school functions this year. Some of the groups they sang for were Kiwanis, Rotary, Lincoln School, Masonic Installations, First Methodist Church, and the Republican Women's Club. All groups are under the expert direction of Mrs. Carol Cederleaf, and she guided them through their most important events, the Christmas Pageant and the Spring Concert, in which they combine their talents with the rest of the music department Mrs. Cederleaf appears perplexed at some classroom disturbance Members of the Girls’ Glee included, Front Row: Cy dney Slattery, Cynthia Reiss, Susan Overstreet, Eleanor Pfahl, Amelia Quinto, Cinda Hall.

Orchestra Featured in Spring Concert Michele Miland and Regan Murphy practice a complicated passage on their cellos. A necessity to the music department of Alameda High School is the orchestra directed by Mr. Carlton Hanson. Besides playing for the holiday pageant and senior play, the added responsibility of playing for the all-school play, the first musical ever produced at AHS was placed upon the ensemble. Other important events for the group are the Pops Concert in March, and the Spring Concert, held May 23. Student directors for the orchestra are Charles Couchot, Gary Grout, Michele Miland, and Carol Vander-Roest. The orchestra is shown here running through a number for the senior play. Advanced Band Entertains Students Kathy Millard, Laurie Thompson, Bob Shaw, and Geri Robinson toot their own horn. Practice makes perfect for the advanced band. The advanced band continued this year with its usual practice of entertaining at student body meetings. Under the direction of Mr. Dominick Vinciguerra, a pep band was also formed, helping to induce spirit at both winter and spring sports events. The band newspaper, Opus, was published again this year for the second year in a row. Bob Shaw served as editor, and also as student director of the pep band. As an added feature at home football games, the band marched from school to Thompson Field with yell leaders and pom-pon girls before each game. Mr. Vinciguerra swings it gently. Acorn Undergoes Change Copy editor Kathi Dowling needs an extra pair of hands. Harry Paslay and Janice Coffman pause from their work. Staff revision was the first order of business for Mr. Rick Gamble, when he became the new advisor for the Acorn. Instead of the usual arrangement, that is, where each section editor is responsible for the layouts and copy for his section, the standard positions of layout editor and copy editor were given new definition. On the 1968-69 staff, Jodi Poor and Kathi Dowling, copy editors, were entirely responsible for the copy in each section. Layout editor Doug Dix had the job of checking, and if need be, correcting each layout. Duties of the other staff positions remained for the most part as they had been in previous years. Job of editor and general overseer of the workings of the publication fell to Chris Moore.

Curly (Dave Gire) describes his shiny new surrey to Laurey (Renee Philastre) Sandi Hoffman and Erick Vinther, who both had important roles, are shown here rehearsing one of their romantic scenes. ‘‘Oklahoma’’, Rodgers and Hammerstein's musical triumph, presented April 25 and 26, and May 2 and 3, was selected as the All-School Play for 1969. The story line is taken from the novel Green Grows the Grass by Lynn Riggs, and is set in a small Oklahoma town around the turn of the century. Because of an Acorn deadline, the musical could not be covered at actual performances, so pictures were obtained from rehearsals. Director Lloyd Sisler promised an excellent performance, and the popular play is expected to fill the auditorium all four nights. This is the sixth musical directed by Mr. Sisler at AHS, and his student director this year was _ Gloria Wesenberg. Due to the fact that so many talented students tried out for parts in “Oklahoma”, the play was double-cast. Members of the casts included Dave Gire, Erick Vinther, Michele Miland, Glenda Plant, Renee Philastre, Sandra Hoffman, Tim Barragon, Paul Russell, Ann Hughett, Janis Liebhart, Richard Gard, Erik Wampler, Rome Rossi, Roxanne Jacopetti, Ron Soares, Jill Larson, Doug Ball, Bob Eaton, Judy Plonczak, Cindy Smith, Jeff Sosnick and Greg Smith. Key Club Hosts “Oneders” Vs. Faculty Basketball Game; Raises Funds For Cerebral Palsy; Sells Popcorn At Athletic Events ae P Mr. Leland Stanford, Key Club advisor, relaxes at a tennis match Among the many activities this year for the Key Club was hosting the KYA “Oneders’’ versus AHS Faculty basketball game. This was the second Members of the Key Club included Guy All, Brad Lawrence, Jeff Perl, Jim Tasoulas, Mr Stanford, Steve year in a row that the Key Club Pingree. and Mark Betz. sponsored this event. Despite some Outstanding (as well as amusing) performances by several faculty members, the KYA team proved victorious by a score of 101-81, a twenty point margin. High scorer for the luckless faculty was Mr. Dave Kracl with 33 points, and Rick Gamble and Dennis Hennessee checked in with seven apiece. The Key Club also performed a valuable service to the community this year by holding a fund-raising campaign for Cerebral Palsy. Club members traveled door-to-door collecting donations for this cause. Also a part of the busy year for the organization was the selling of popcorn at all basketball games, including the freshmen and sophomore contests held after school. This added funds to the club’s ever-growing treasury. The Key Club's father organization is the Alameda Kiwanis Club. Every Wednesday at noon, two members attend a Kiwanis meeting with Mr. Leland Stanford, Key Club advisor. At these meetings, the boys have the Opportunity to hear guest speakers, and learn more about the workings of. the Kiwanis club. President of the Key Club is Jack Olson. Other members include Drew Pavao, Wayne Butler, Steve Pingree, Richard Spry, and Steve Cranston. Academic Life Dr. Donald Roderick Mr. Charles Briscoe Mr. Harold Eifert Mr. Dean Ramsden Elections Slated For School Board Alameda‘’s Board of Education underwent many changes this year, and it appears that there are more to follow in the future. Definitely the most important of these changes was the decision by the people of Alameda to have a direct election of School Board officials, rather than the former method by which the board was appointed by the Alameda City Council. Newly-appointed chairman Mrs. Lee Cavanaugh headed a capable staff which included Mr. Richard Bartalini, Mr. Jack Lubbock, Mr. Dean Ramsden, and Mr. Frank Weeden. Shortly following the citywide election this year, Mr. Lubbock resigned his position on the board, and Mr. James Nolan, executive director of the Alameda Boys Club, was appointed to serve until the new board is elected. Board members discuss and debate issues involving Alameda High Mr. Richard Bartalini Mrs. Lee Cavanaugh Mr. Jack Lubbock Mr. Frank Weeden Mr. Bell Plays Intricate Part in School Mr. Bell shakes the hand of a very surprised Sherry Lemmon Crowning the homecoming queen is one of the more enjoyable tasks of Alameda High's chief administrator. Mr. Bell expresses concern over the injury of Marc Hansen (11). Scholars Tutor, Travel Those students who distinguished themselves by achieving excellence scholastically for the fall of 1968 were, Front Row. Michael Bibin, Kevin Lanzit, Debra Chase, Lynnette Acosta, Cynthia Bagley. Row 2: Larry Archbold, Ray McGuire, Suzanne Leong, Karen Peel, Susan Ibarolle, Mary Taxiera, Jeff Sosnick. Row 3: Ron Coffman, Debi Best. Carol VanderRoest, Joan King, Debbie Hutson, Richard Sabatini Mr. John Brooks, faculty advisor for the California Scholarship Federation branch here at AHS, defines the purpose of the organization as to serve the school as best they can. The club strives toward this goal by tutoring students who are having trouble in certain subjects. This tutoring program has proved extremely successful both this year and in the years past. One of the activities planned by the group this year was an excursion to Stanford, where they viewed the campus and attended various lectures. They are also in charge of the sales of tickets for the all-school play. Presiding capably over CSF meetings this year was Sandy Nichols. Also holding positions as club officers were Janet Broughton, vice-president, and Elizabeth Echegaray, secretary- treasurer. CSF was under the direction of Elizabeth Echegaray, Sandy Lynnette Acosta, Carol VanderRoest, and Nichols, and Janet Broughton, fall secretary-treasurer, Susan Samota find something fascinating in president, and vice-president respectively the text Dr. James Snell devoted fully of his time and effort to Alameda High Retiring Faculty Honored It was with regret that students at Alameda High School learned of the acceptance by the Board of Education of the resignations of Dr. James Snell, Mrs. Esther McClara, and Mrs. Maude Carter. Dr. Snell, our vice-principal, whose educational career spans forty years, has served the Alameda Unified School District for the past eighteen years. This man who has given so much in both time and efforts to Alameda High students will be sorely missed by all. There is little doubt that Mrs. McClara will leave a severe empty spot in the school life at AHS. Her capable handling of all affairs of the school bank, including the responsibility for all ticket sales, graduation announcements, etc., class rings, class funds and countless others will be hard to replace. Mrs. Maude Carter, who teaches English and history classes is known to her students for the warmth and personal touches which she injects into her lessons. It is certain that all those who have known her will remember her teachings and guidance for a long time to come. Mrs. McClara is shown here with her assistant, Mrs. Jane Royer Mrs. McClara is always ready to offer assistance to any student Administration Attempts Mr. Barry Conner Mrs. Helen Hoeksema Dr. James Snell Aside from their usual duties, our administrators faced a new difficulty this year. Student-administration communication was a problem faced by Alameda High School's administration, and it was a problem with which Mr. Conner, Mr. Bell, Mrs. Hoeksema, and Dr. Snell coped admirably. The first step towards better understanding was taken when the Ad Board presented a list of grievances directed to faculty and administration at a fall student meeting. At the next meeting, Mr. Bell gave his answer to the Ad Board, and from that time on, each group made an effort to better understand the other. Mrs. Hoeksema takes time out from her administrative duties to pose for the camera. “Now listen, son, | was a boy once myself. . .” Better Communication with Students Midi Dr. Snell, Mrs. Hoeksema, and Mr. Conner are the stablizers of Alameda High Mrs. Hoeksema gives an understanding smile to one of the girls who has sought her council Dr. Snell, as vice principal, must remain in constant communication with all facets of the school and community Mr. Robert Bartley Miss Lucille DeVecchio Mrs. Charlotte Howell Mr. Ashley Jones Mrs. Louise Tham Mr. Allan Whyte Counseling Department Opens to 8th Graders In order to acquaint the eighth graders who will be attending AHS in the fall from Lincoln, Porter, Wood and Haight Schools, the counseling department traveled to the elementary schools to check the students tentative program for next year. This was extended to include the parents of next year's freshmen in a special orientation. Mr. Jones takes a break to get his picture taken. Mrs. Hemrich pauses momentarily from her work Keeping all scholastic materials in good order at AHS is the job assigned to Mrs. Margaret Hemrich, librarian, and Mrs. Helen Ford, who is in charge of the bookroom. Mrs. Hemrich sees that all library books checked out by students are returned within a certain period of time and kept in excellent condition. She also supervises the students who are studying in the library. Mrs. Ford is responsible for all books and materials checked out for class use. She makes sure that each student returns the book with the number corresponding to his name on the sign-up sheet. Faithful bookroom aid Jim Brown helps keep things in smooth order Mrs. Ford really piles work on her assistants Clem Rowlands and Jeff French work on the projector Service Crews Keep Alameda High - Working in the cafeteria at noon and in the morning were: Dorothy Cottrell, Celia Gannon, Genevieve Welch, Maryellen Schaefer, Alberta Dole, Jeanne Johnson, Alva Mason, and Helen Plonczack.

One of these people is Mr. Howard Fee, who teaches a class in merchandising at AHS fourth period, and then travels to Encinal High for the remainder of the day. Also working out of the spotlight to keep Alameda High running smoothly are the faithful cafeteria, custodial, and secretarial staffs. Every member of these crews puts out one hundred per cent to do their jobs as well as possible. i Mint Another often skipped-over facet of a Ny AHS is the driver training department. 3 4 Way Headed by Mr. Dennis Hennessee, the “1S i Ma department handles all aspects of driver Wrap wid education required by the state. Mr. Hennessee’s capable assistants are Mr. David Kracl, Mr. Leland Stanford, and Mr. William Thompson. A new feature used in driver training this year were the simulators by students. The simulator gives the student the feel of driving a real automobile, and is much safer for beginning drivers to use while they are still learning to operate a car.

Miss Marian Los Kamp Mr. Anthony Piazza Mr. Lawrence Regello Mr. Jerome Schneider An elective English program was adopted by the English department this year, combining juniors and seniors and x and y students in the same classes for the first time. Students were given a choice as to what courses they wished to take. Each course lasts for one semester only, so that each full school year a student participates in the elective program he receives the benefits from two different types of English. Some of the subjects offered are: Humanities | and Il, Poetry, Semantics, Techniques of the Essay, Communications Workshop, The Hero in Western Literature, The Short Story, The Novel; a Thematic Approach, and Dramatic Literature. It is hoped that next year a still wider choice will be available, to fill the varied interests of incoming juniors and seniors.

History Looks at Past; Reveals Future Learning about the past isn’t always easy, as these freshmen are discovering in their world history class. Ben Garfinkle, Gail Seagren, and Doug Dix present a panel discussion to their government class. Awareness and apt understanding is necessary for survival in the fast pace of today’s society. No longer can just a little knowledge of world situations suffice. A broader understanding of today’s conflicts should constitute essential information in each individual. The history department, under the direction of Mr. Howard Billings, strives to instill this knowledge in the minds of students. It is felt that by complete understanding of previous societies, we will be able to better understand our present situations. Freshman history is entitled World History. Its purpose is to briefly outline and survey the events leading up to today. Modern history is an elective course concerned primarily with the present. On the junior level United States history teaches the steps the government has taken to reach its present status. Government and economics combine to compose fourth year history. California History, Senior Problems, and Current Events are elective history courses open to seniors.

No significant departmental changes were adopted by the math department this year. The practical math class, under the direction of Mrs. Phyllis Murray did, however, experiment with student planned classes. Students divided into individual groups and learned, on their own, about different mathematical devices and how to use them. The students themselves then taught the rest of the class the practical applications of these instruments. On March 11 of this year, the National Math Contest sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America was given. Over one hundred and forty students from Alameda High took the test. Joining the teaching staff of the math department were Mr. Ronald Bertuccelli and Mr. James Cooper. Trig students seem fascinated with the presentation. Mr. Robert Berges Mr. Leroy Bernadou Mr. Terry Boomer Mr. John Brooks Team Teaching Continues For the second year, Physiology was taught by the team teaching method. Two days each week, the six classes would meet together in one room for lectures. Mr. Fredgren, Mr. Lowry, and Mr. McMillion alternated speaking. The remaining days of each week were spent in the lab, in individual discussion groups and movie sessions. In addition, guest lecturers were invited to speak before the students. Each week biology students viewed movies concerned with the unit they were studying. In addition to the movies, entire days were spent in labs, studying life in its most primitive form. Now what do you suppose Mr. Fredgren could be Mr. Bernadou and his class just love to have their pictures taken. looking at that fascinates him? Mr. Fredgren plays lung surgeon.

Each lab consists of a set of earphones for each student, and a control panel used by the teacher. With this instrument, the teacher is able to hear each individual student, and the pupil is able to hear special criticisms from the instructor. It is hoped that other classes will be equipped with these labs next year. ae eaveeeerererert!

Under the leadership of Mr. Lloyd Sisler, the drama department presented several short plays and skits for the PTA and other organizations, and the student body. The art department, headed by Miss Jane Tolliver, besides designing the sets for all the aforementioned activities, was responsible for a display and sale of pottery made by Mrs. Whitton’s pottery class.

The home economics department made no important changes this year, but was busy nevertheless with their usual practices. Besides making all the costumes for the senior and all-school plays and holiday pageant, the sewing section of this department, headed by Mrs. Betty Tillotson, did some work on embroidery and also made tote bags. Courses in home economics this year offered instruction on practical foods and elementary sewing. Advanced foods classes concentrated on the preparation of food, and meal planning on the basis of economy, nutrition, time and effort. Girls in the advanced sewing entered the Make It With Wool contest sponsored by the Singer Sewing Cooking students work to perfect their culinary arts Company.

In addition to the traditional First Aid and Physical fitness courses, sophomores, juniors, and seniors were allowed to choose what form of P.E. they wanted to take from such classes as softball, balance beam, folk dancing, gymnastics, tumbling, basketball, fencing, archery, swimming, tennis and badminton. Freshman P.E. courses continued to be taught as in years past. Two new teachers, Mrs. Nancy Myrick, and Mrs. Carol Rich, joined the faculty as physical education instructors. Mrs. Rich took over the job as dance teacher, while Mrs. Myrick taught general classes. Look at that outstanding form! Dance classes exercise to perfect their poise and grace.

Teaching young men to work well individually as well as collectively, teaching them the benefits of good physical condition, and instilling upon them the concept of competitive spirit are the goals of the teaching staff of the Boys’ P.E. Department. Using the facilities of Lincoln Park, Wood School, and the AHS P.E. yard, the boys played such sports as speedball, basketball, volleyball, football, and baseball. Composing the staff of the boys’ athletic department were: Mr. Forrest Klein, Mr. David Kracl, Mr. Marvin Pearson, Mr. Leland Stanford, and Mr. William Thompson.

On June 12, three hundred and ninety two seniors will graduate from Alameda High School. Although many of the students will soon forget their four years at Alameda, a part of them will remain in the minds and spirit of the school and faculty. The Class of 1969 will be long remembered for their outstanding accomplishments, both scholastically and athletically, and their many fund raising and pleasure activities. The four years, 1965-1969 not only represent the growth of the seniors, but also many changes throughout the world. Major issues included the war in Vietnam, the immense racial tension, and student strikes at the state and university campuses. Our generation was actively involved in these affairs to prove our concern with our future and the future of the world. As we leave Alameda High School, we embark on our future, capable to handle what lies ahead. Cleveland Smith, Roger Rodd, and Harold Hudson know where it's at Ah, memories of bygone days.

Left behind him were only memories— left to be looked on with care. His friends were white and black, both rich and poor, And all were welcome at his door. He claimed popularity was not his desire, But for true friends— this was the goal to acquire. He worked hard for his earnings by strength not by brain. He loved working with his hands and sharing his gain. Track and soul music were a part of his past, And these in our memories forever will last. He knew life would bring worries into his view, So he strived to get rid of them the best way he knew. You can’t share our good times because you have died. Please save us a place to be again at your side. Unlike anyone else, a personality all his own, He kindled a flame in our hearts forever, because joyfully we all had known RAYMOND.

Ahhhhh—they’re in love! Something new was added to the senior play this year, when, for the first time, it was presented for four nights. Because of this, and the quality of the production, the senior class reached an all-time high in ticket sales. Representatives of the senior class, along with faculty advisors and Mr. Lloyd Sisler, director, chose to produce “You Can't Take It With You”, a three act comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman. It deals with the antics of the Sycamore family, headed by Grandpa Martin Vanderhof, an elderly man who spends his time attending commencement exercises, and giving advice to other members of the family. They are Paul Sycamore, father of the clan, who makes fireworks in the basement with the assistance of Mr. DePinna, a man who stopped by the house one day and has been living with the family ever since; Penelope Sycamore, Paul's wife and an amateur artist and playwright; Essie, their eldest daughter, a would-be ballerina, and her husband Ed, a xylophonist; and Alice, the Sycamore’s youngest daughter, and the only “normal” member of the family. Also among the principal characters are Rheba, the Sycamore’s maid, and her boyfriend Donald, a somewhat dimwitted young man; Boris Kolenkhov, Essie’s Russian ballet teacher: Miss Gay Wellington, a slightly inebriated actress, and Tony Kirby, Alice’s fiance, and his wealthy parents. The theme of the play concerns the engagement of Alice Sycamore to Tony Kirby, and the events which revolve around this and the rest of the family. Alice, fearing that her unusual family might be offensive to Tony's wealthy parents, invites all three of the Kirby's for dinner so that they may have a chance to get acquainted with her clan. Unfortunately, the Kirby's mistake the pre-arranged date and arrive on the wrong evening, just when things are at their worst at the Sycamores. Many hilarious instances prevail, and consequently the Kirby and Sycamore families both spend the night in jail. However, the next morning all is straightened out by Grandpa Vanderhof, who convinces the Kirbys that it is not the material or superficial values, but the moral values of people which count in the end. The play was expertly directed by Mr. Sisler who was ably assisted by Jill Shaw, student director, Kathy Evans and Linda Pimental, manager and co-manager, respectively, and Mr. David George, faculty advisor for the senior class. According to Mr. Sisler, he was also aided by the fine cast, expecially Gary Grout, who showed his versatility as an actor by taking on a difficult role, and Lance Seely, who gave a notable performance in his first appearance in a play. Mr. Sisler also commented on the excellent performances of the entire cast. When asked what he felt was the main reason for the success of the play, he noted that it was mostly due to the fact that this is a play which has something to offer for everyone, and that because there was such a large cast more people wanted to attend to see friends and relatives in the play. He added that “the production of ‘You Can't Take It With You’ proves that a play doesn’t have to be a new play to be successful, so long as it's a good play, and the truths in it are applicable to any particular period.” The cast of “You Can't Take It With You” was as follows: , in order of appearance Judy Plonczak Ann Hughett Glenda Plant Erik Wampler Lance Seely Daniel Bonin Paul Sycamore Mr. DePinna Tony Kirby Boris Kolenkhov Gay Wellington Mr. Kirby Mrs. Kirby Olga Three G-Men Shown here in one of their funniest scenes are cast members Carolyn Corn, Roger Rodd, Ann Hughett, Daniel Bonin, Mark Reese, Gary Grout, Glenda Plant, Harley Cowdery, Michele Miland, Erick Vinther, Lance Seely, and Judy Plonczak.

The dance featured two bands, and was also a free dress affair. Managed by Ben Garfinkle and Sherrill Conner, it grossed over six hundred dollars. Other activities for the club were the supporting of an orphan in India, a car wash, and collecting for the Muscular Dystrophy and Hemophilia drives. Assisting President Jennings in his duties were Gig Codiga, vice-president; Harley Cowdery, recording secretary: Erick Vinther, financial secretary; Gary MacDowell, corresponding secretary; and Mike Reynolds, sergeant-at-arms. The Interact Club is designed for all interested sophomore, junior, and senior boys. Membership is selective, and limited to forty boys. Officers of the Interact Club include: Ben Garfinkle, Mike Reynolds, Gary MacDowell, Harley Cowdery, Eric Vinther, Gig Codiga. Sitting at the desk: Kimo Jennings. Girls Provide Service For School, Community Cherie Essex, ‘S’ Club president To serve the school and comminity is the main objective of Alameda High's girls’ service club. ‘S’ Club established a three hundred dollar scholarship to aid a senior girl with the advancement of her education. With the discontinuation of Girls’ Association, the traditional freshman reception was left without a sponsor. ‘S’ Club accepted this task and another of AHS's valued traditions was perpetuated. Other service projects of the year included Thanksgiving baskets for two needy Alameda families, marching for the Cerebral Palsy Drive, and distributing pamphlets for the Drug Abuse Campaign. Money for the scholarship fund came from their Christmas dance, “Under the Mistletoe’, a cake sale, a sucker sale, a Paper drive, and a fashion show, held late in the spring, in conjunction with the ‘S’ Club from Encinal. In decorating for the Christmas dance. “Under the Mistletoe” ‘S’ Club girls found that boys were essential to reach those high places and measure out crepe paper. Star and Key Sets Up Scholarship; “Mock” Conferences Held Model UN members concerned themselves with world affairs and social conditions this year. World affairs and social conditions are the main concern of the Model UN Club, and by studying these at general conferences with other clubs AHS‘s Model UN learns more about them. Ata conference, each school represents a different country, and major world issues are discussed, with each school taking the side of the country it represents. This year the Model UN Club is under the direction of Mr. Robert Lochner, with the assistance of President Linda Noonan. Other officers include Terry Winberg, Cynthia Bagley, and Susan Vinluan. Star and Key Club established a scholarship for senior members this year, in order to provide better opportunities for those associated with the group. In order to financially furnish this endeavor they sponsored a number of fund raising projects which included a bake sale and an April car wash. Other club activities included an annual field trip to Cal State at Hayward. While there, Star and Key members had a chance to sit in on some classes, and were also given a tour of the campus. President Linda Reitmeier and advisor Mrs. Takata review a Star and Key meeting agenda with officers Debbie Harmola, James Lee, and Joyce Lee. Prrrriry Bill Whiteman presents an original poem during a poetry reading For the third year in a row, the Humanities Forum published Alameda High School's sole literary magazine, Lyceum. The magazine, published in late spring, contains poems, creative writing and art work submitted by students and faculty. An editorial committee selects the creative endeavors to be published Another way in which the forum encourages student creativity is by holding weekly amateur poetry reading every Wednesday at noon. Students have a chance to read their poetry and hear comments and criticisms. The main activity for the group this year was the humanities conference held in the spring. It featured student demonstrations and also some professional poets Forum Holds Humanities Festival The Wednesday noon time poetry readings afford opportunities for student expression Block “A” Girls Serve Needy Families A pom-pon and decal sale started the year’s activities off well for the Women’s Block “A” this year. The group sold the traditional gold and white pom-pons and “Hornet” decals to earn money. Miss Arlene Hoshi, faculty advisor for the organization, defines their purpose as to perform “any possible service for the PE department, and the rest of the school as well.” One way in which they not only serve the school but also the community is by collaborating with the Men’‘s Block “A” in the annual Thanksgiving basket drive. The girls collect money and canned goods to go to needy families on Thanksgiving. Serving as officers for Block “A” this year were Karen Kools, president; Linda Lee, vice-president; Carol Vander Roest, recording secretary; Naomi Wong, financial secretary; and LeAnne Thompson, publicity manager. It's absolutely amazing what some Block “A” members will do to earn money! Karen Kools and Pat Doherty cut the cake at the installation of officers party Block “‘A’’ members Diane Lewis, Bill Yarbrough, LeAnne Thompson, Kirby Eaton, Pat Doherty, and Marc Hansen prepare for their Thanksgiving drive The Prince of Darkness models his well-deserved reward eft Above, Block “A” members warm up before the game Faculty Crushes Block “A” 28-18 John Dutcher tries for two points under the close guard of Coaches Rick Gamble and Forrest Klein Spotlighting the year for the Men's Block ‘A’ was the Annual Block “A’-Faculty Basketball Classic. For the second straight year, the Block “A” was crushed under the mighty faculty, by a score of 28-18. While the “younger men” kept in close contention with the oldsters during the first half, in fact, they led at its close, 10-9, they were clearly Outdistanced by the faculty in the second half. In the third quarter, the faculty broke the game wide open when the Messrs. Leroy Bernadou, “Stretch” Pearson, and Dave Kracl combined to tally ten points and put the faculty ahead, a position which they kept for the remainder of the game. Kracl went on to score six of the faculty's seven points in the fourth quarter. Scoring for the Block “A” was led by John Dutcher, Gary MacDowell, Dean Walker, and Bill Yarbrough, who hit with three points apiece. Half-time entertainment took on a new twist this year when the bad guys beat the good guys. In one of the most unorthodox wrestling matches ever seen, Good Guys Dave Fairfield and Ash Jones were put to shame by the gruesome twosome, Mr. Terry Big Bad Boom Boom Boomer, and the Prince of Darkness, Mr. James Marberry, who used the most unfair tactics possible. They were graciously and suitably rewarded with a large cream pie for each—directly in their faces. Jackie Corrington conducts a Spanish Club meeting Alameda High’s two language clubs were busy this year with money making activities and other events planned solely for the enjoyment of their members. French Club started the year off with a picnic at Lake Temescal in Oakland. The outing was open to any student enrolled in a French class. During the spring semester, club members journeyed to San Francisco for an authentic French dinner, and the American Conservatory Theater's performance of “The Two of Us.” Money making activities of the year included two car washes, a cake sale and a candy sale. In keeping with the purpose of the organization, that is to expose students to the many things of Spanish Mexican heritage of our area, members of the Spanish Club attended the Ballet National of Mexico at the University of California's new Zellerbach Auditorium. A dinner party, held at Tia Maria’s restaurant in downtown Oakland, was the club's most eventful activity of the fall. In the spring semester, another dinner party was held, as well as a trip to see a foreign film. Linguists Partake in Cultural, Top: Linda Noonan discusses world affairs with Nick Synodinos.

Headed by Mrs. Carol Rich, a new teacher at AHS this year, the class is comprised of junior and senior girls with an aptitude for dancing. This year, the girls collaborated, as usual, with the drama and music departments for the holiday pageant Some of the dance numbers depicted a street fight, a toy scene with dancing toys, a lament, a Jewish wedding dance The class also presented an entire program at a spring student meeting Seniors demonstrate the concept of geometric shapes and positions in modern dance Junior members of Advanced Dance take time out from their daily routines to pose Members of the ROTC Color Guard were: John Landry, Johnny Wong, John Wrobleski, Ray Griffiths ih, oe Re ene BY ™ ts = - a et ee Se ie — = � = Members of the 1968-1969 Rifle Team were: Graham Johnson, Steve Kodad, Jim Avera, Arthur Treadwell Riflers Place Under the leadership of Master Sergeant United States Army Retired Bert H. Berry, the Reserve Officers Training Corps Rifle Team placed third in their competition with all Oakland High Schools. This feat was accomplished by Steve Kodad, Jim Avera, Arthur Treadwell, and Graham Johnson, who is the captain of the squad, as well as the most outstanding member. The Rifle Team's success is just one example of the way in which the training given to young men in ROTC pays off. This facet of our school life is important to AHS, for it provides a basis for developing leadership qualities to benefit men in either military or civilian professions. The courses in military tactics and behavior, customs and courtesies of the service, map reading, first aid, and weapons training all give those boys in the ROTC a sense of responsibility which will stay with them for a long time to come. r) ° x o a ® ° 8 vo iS) oe ° 0 iw a E oO ® e j - a £ = c oO = °o c 2 x = - ° ” 8 E wo = Lt.

Coin Club, Usherettes, “Do Their Thing” Politeness and pleasantry are the two qualities possessed by these Usherettes that make them so successful in their work. Possessing a dedication to creating an orderly atmosphere at school functions such as plays and graduation exercises, the members of the Usherettes Club apply their qualities of politeness and pleasantry which have made them one of Alameda High's most relied upon service organizations. Mrs. Ames is faculty advisor for the group, and student managers are Diana Gillmore and Judy Smitherman. Judy and Diana also have the distinction of being the only two members of the group to earn their usherette pins. To earn a pin, each girl must assist at two graduations and six plays, and must have attended three usherette club meetings. Other officers for the group are Lorine Wilson, recording secretary, and Janet Broughton, financial secretary. Just getting started at AHS is the newly-formed COIN Club, sponsored by Mr. James Cooper. This organization is mainly for budding numismatists. Members can trade with other members to add to their coin collections, and also have the opportunity to further their knowledge on the subject of numismatics at meetings. The main activities of the group for this year included an auction of rare coins, and setting up a booth as a means for students and faculty to have their pocket change analyzed.

Club advisor Dr. Gunther Gates defines the purpose of the organization as ‘to allow those interested to ski at a variety of ski areas for a small amount of money.” This year’s trips included two overnights at Heavenly Valley, and day trips to Sugar Bowl, Bear Valley, and Squaw Valley. To help defray the cost of these excursions, members may sell car wash tickets and candy. This enables them to earn credit which goes towards the trips of their choice.

After almost being dissolved, due to lack of interest, the Math Club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Jane Jensen and Mrs. Carol Kyle, was revitalized, and the advisors hope for rapid expansion. Mrs. Kyle defined the purpose of the organization as an outlet to stimulate and expand students’ interest in mathematics by trips to local places of interest to the members. Mrs. Kyle stressed that the club was not opened only to students specializing in math, but rather to all ‘who find some interest in math.’’ Club members are also prepared to tutor those students having difficulties in any area of math from freshman math to advanced trig. On a national and international level, the Red Cross is dedicated to bringing relief and comfort at home and abroad, wherever disaster strikes. Here at Alameda High School, the Red Cross volunteered to work in Alameda Convalescent homes. Membership was increased as the result of a membership drive Andrea Elderts, Naomi Wong, and Ariene Wong Red Cross officers, volunteered their services Math Club Revitalizes, Expands; Red Cross Continues Volunteer Work Math clubbers bag candy for their sale The 3°R’s Club is an organization for those students who are interested in pursuing a career in education.

The junior varsity football team had a tremendous season this year, beating all opponents in their league, and compiling an excellent record. Coach Dennis Hennessee felt that an important reason for the team’s success was the fact that they had “outstanding depth in the line”, and, in his opinion, the best defense in the league. Coach Hennessee also said that best performances were given by Quarterback Bruce Bergstrom, whom he termed “outstanding”, and Fullback Neil Fletcher, named best runner. Two of the team’s closest victories, the Kennedy and San Leandro games, were won in the final minutes, with Bruce Bergstrom kicking both decisive extra points. The JV’s scores were as follows: Alameda Opponents Berkeley 26 6 Encinal 32 re) DeAnza 54 6 Pinole Valley 33 re) EI Cerrito 53 10) Kennedy 7 6 Pacific 19 6 San Leandro 7 6 Richmond 6 .e) JV’s Go Undefeated; Soph-Frosh Win Two A better-than-average record was tallied by this year’s soph-frosh football team as they won a pair of games, tied two, and lost five. In one of their finest played games of the season, the squad defeated De Anza by a score of 13-12. The soph-frosh defense deserves much praise for their decisive goal-line stand in the final minutes of the first half, when they successfully held DeAnza within five yards of the goal line. In their crosstown clash with Encinal, the team totally obliterated the Jets defenses as they crossed the goal line five times, piling up a score of 33-0. Outstanding in this game were Wayne Koike, wno made two touchdowns, Quarterback Mark McKee, who completed a 26 yard touchdown pass to Chris Watson, and Rodney Dosher, who scored one touchdown. Coach Anthony Piazza named his outstanding linemen as Larry Combes, a sophomore guard, and Paul Berlin, a freshman end. He also singled out Mark MeKee, a freshman quarterback, and Mike Nash, a sophomore tailback, as giving the most consistent performances during the season. Seven Hornets Named to AIl-ACAL Four of Alameda High's outstanding _ football players were given positions on the all ACAL team for the 1968 season. In addition, three Hornets were placed on the second string team. Barry Murphy and Eric Cross were chosen unanimously by league coaches for excellence in their respective positions, Kirby Eaton and Mike Amos also placed on the first team. Curt Brohard, the only junior on either team, John Galena, and Marc Hansen took positions on second string. Pictured above are all-ACAL selections, Mike Eric Cross, top ground gainer in the ACAL, and second in the East Bay, was unanimous choice for all-ACAL. with cca sone Kirby Eaton, guard; and Barry 115 points for the season.

For the tenth consecutive year, the Alameda Hornets, captured the trophy presented to the winner of the Alameda-Encinal game by defeating their cross-town rivals with a score of 61-0. Although the game was previously expected to be the Hornets’ toughest match of the season, a combination of exceptionally fine playing by Alameda and a large number of errors by Encinal gave AHS the edge they needed to rack up a 35-0 lead at half-time, and completely demoralize the Jet squad for the second half. Halfback Eric Cross led the scoring of the day with four touchdowns and 115 of Alameda’s 44 yards. Quarterback Marc Hansen gained 93 yards by completing six out of fourteen passes, while AHS’s other big ground gainer, Barry Murphy, picked up 54 yards as well as a touchdown. Murphy also led the defensive movement as linebacker, along with halfback Bill Yarbrough, who broke up almost all passes attempted by the Jets. Junior Neil Fletcher made two touchdowns, Bruce Bergstrom, another junior, scored once, and Duane Hodges recovered an Encinal fumble in the end zone for six points.

Basketballers Have Losing Season Although the varsity basketball team won only four of their league games this season, since the squad was comprised of one-half juniors, they gained valuable experience which will benefit them next year. Mike McKee, who was picked by his teammates as Most Valuable Player, also led the team in scoring. In addition to this, Mike was voted AIl-ACAL Honorable Mention. Most Inspirational Player was Eric Cross, and Mike Amos was the selection for Most Improved Player. Juniors Jerry Carr and John Pearson were the team’s top rebounders, while Dennis Peterson provided a consistently good defense Curt Jones, another outstanding junior, was the high scorer from the free throw line, sinking thirty of his thirty-seven attempts for eighty-one percent. Highlights of the season for Coach Pearson's Hornets were their league victories over Kennedy, 55-50; Pacific, 66-60, Pinole Valley, 70-54; and San Leandro, 75-58. In their pre-season action, the team defeated Hayward High, the Hayward Area Athletic League champions, by a score of 65-55, in one of their best-played games this year. Other practice victories were won against Campolinda, St. Mary's, and Tamalpais. The squad finished the season in eighth place, with an overall record of 9-21.

We're slipping! Heavy favorites to place first in the ACAL for the eighth consecutive year, Alameda High's Swim Team, the most consistent and successful squad to date, is under the guidance of a new coach, Mr. Dave Fairfield. Coach Fairfield has high hopes for his new charges this year, and can already tell from the pre-season practices that ‘according to the physical and emotional development of each swimmer, our team will be either good or great.’’ He plans to develop the team so that they will be at their peak for the North Coast Championship, which they won last year, and will have an excellent chance for this year. A new addition to the team this year is team captain Randy Horton. Randy is a senior transfer, and is currently ranked number eleven among the nation’s divers. Also competing in the diving events will be returning lettermen Roger Rodd and Bob Giomi. Coach Fairfield named other early standouts as Maltbie Napoleon, 200 yard individual medley; Gary MacDowell, butterfly; Steve Payne, breast stroke; Mickey Caldwell, 200 yard individual medley; and returning seniors Tony Mazzi, sprint man, and Kirk Peel, famed distance man. However, Mr. Fairfield made it clear that the boys plan to work together as a team, and if his hopes are fulfilled, the Alameda Boys’ Swim team should have another fantastic year.

Cs ail Senior outfielder Ray Pagano awaits pitch from San Lorenzo hurler John Nieters checks his swing Strong hitting and good speed are the main factors accounting for the success of Alameda High's Junior Varsity baseball team this year, according to Coach Rick Gamble. The young Hornets had compiled a record of 5-2 at Acorn deadline, and are expected to continue winning games. The club is also strong in the pitching department, with hurlers Jeff White, left-hander Dave Mikami, and relievers Brian Berlin, Dane Nelson, and Greg Cockayne turning in consistently fine performances. Outstanding juniors on the team were listed by Coach Gamble as second baseman Mike Wenzel, left fielder Stan Sanderson, catcher John Costello, and infielder Charlie Patterson. These players are expected to be valuable additions to the varsity team next year. Other standouts named were first sacker and receiver Mike Bordner, center fielder Willie Thomas, all-round outfielder Gary Hubbard, right fielder Dale Norton, and first baseman and pitcher Jeff White. All sophomores, they each add strength to the teams’ batting record. The squad's excellent speed is clearly evidenced in the fact that collectively they have compiled a record of twenty-one stolen bases out of twenty-two attempts. The leader in this field is Willie Thomas, who has stolen seven bases out of his seven tries. Petty Biano leads off first base. Dave Mikami gets ready for the pitch. Mike Wenzel dives for the plate.

Racketeers Steal Top ACAL Rankings Under the leadership of a new coach, Mr. Leland Stanford, Alameda High's tennis team had already proven themselves to be one of the top squads in the ACAL when Acorn’s deadline came. There is an excellent possibility that the netters will rank either first or second at the close of the season, As of March twenty-sixth, the team had established a record of 10-1. Captain of the team is Dean Walker, and the top three players are Doug Dix, Dave Lucky, and Dean Walker, respectively. All of these players compete in singles matches, as do Tom Jones and Kevin Lanzit. Participating in doubles matches are the two doubles teams, consisting of John Dutcher and Chris Lanzit, and Bob Clark and Dave Owdom.

National Records Broken by Girls’ Swim Team In spite of breaking five national records, the girls’ swim team did not go undefeated this year. Beaten only by Campolinda and Encinal High Schools, the girls did compile an impressive record. Their two losses were by only two and three point margins. The relay team, consisting of Wendy Stone, butterfly; Debbie Harmola, breast-stroke; Pat Treadwell, back-stroke; and Pam Orr, freestyle; was second in the nation with their time of 1:02.1. Kathy Finnesey made All American when she broke two records. Clocking the 25 yard freestyle at 12.0 and the 25 yard butterfly at 15.0, she became the first freshman in the history of the team to accomplish such a feat. In her second year as a member of the team, Roxanne Dickerson continued her impressive backstroke record when she qualified for All American backstroker, with a time of 15.2. Wendy Stone, junior, received recognition for her outstanding diving this fall.

Sophomores took homecoming honors this year in the tricycle race and egg toss. They also had two princesses in the Homecoming court, Bonnie McSharry and Karen Fletcher. This class holds the distinction of being the largest class at AHS, and is also one of the most spirited. This is shown by the support that class members give to their activities. Assisting with the official duties in the spring were sophomore officers: Pat Green, recording secretary; Nancy Beddingfield, vice-president; George Kysor, financial secretary; and Lorraine Wilson, yell leader Heading the soph class for the fall semester was President Randy Crawford Presiding over the spring sophomore class meetings was Rome Rossi.
