Many committees were formed to help make various changes at Alameda High. A Revision Committee was set up to go over the school’s constitution and make necessary changes and improvements. More than anything, this committee was concerned with the problems of write-ins in student elections. Last year Pat Potter, our former student body president, gave the suggestion for a student lounge. A committee was set up to put the idea through and find a place where students could gather after class or on a free period. Members of the Spring Men and Women’s Board of Control kept students in line in the final semester. Led by Women’s Chief Counselor, Nancy Brown, and Men's Chief Counselor, Mike Nash, the members kept a watchful eye on delinquent students. Board of Control members do not only keep order at A.H.S., but also offer their time and services at sport banquets, Parent's Night, and other after school functions. Meetings were held weekly in the Student Council room and were attended not only by the members, but also by advisors Mrs. Hoeksema and Mr. Healy.

Homecoming court included princesses Jodi Beldon, Laura Nelson, Laurie Isaac, Sherrie Archibald and Gloria Alsing, queen homecoming boosts fall spirit Spectators enjoyed slave day more than the participants. Spirit was aroused during Homecoming Week for the San Leandro football game by the combined efforts of Ad-Board and Pep Club. The week got off to a smashing beginning with the lunch time egg toss held in the boys P.E. yard. Messy winners Nancy Beddingfield and Bill Heath received complimentary tickets to the class of 71's Senior Play as a reward for their courage. Tuesday and Wednesday noon hours were spent on the slave auction. Student Body President John Pola acted as auctioneer raffling off his officers, yell leaders, pom-pom girls and class presidents. He also sold for the highest price of $23.45 to two masters expecting to get their moneys worth. The Freshman class claimed the title of the competition orange pass on Thursday. Friday started very early for some slaves and their masters. Dressed in various costumes, slaves performed their master’s every wish. The exchange of the yell leaders and pom-pon girls at the noon rally helped to build excitement toward the afternoon game. Gloria Alsing was crowned queen at half-time. Her court consisted of Laurie Isaac, Jodi Beldon, Laura Nelson, and Sherrie Archibald.
