Introduction 15 16 Student Life 18 Student Body Officers - Fall e Active students organized many functions throughout the fall se- mester. President Morris Bonadona’s chief goal was to encourage unity and spirit at AHS. Vice-President Cindy Ze- cher helped by planning ‘‘movie week”, and raising graduation requirements. Rowdy noontime rallies on the circle, which included bands, magicians, and comics, were just a few of the activities planned by our Recording Secretary Kim Holmes. Susan Davids, Financial Secre- tary, was in charge of the budget and successful moneymaking projects such as the student body card raffle, con- cessions at football and basketball games, a Chili Feed, and a Christmas mistletoe sale. Boosting school spirit sky-high was Dana Nelson, our Com- missioner of Spirit, who successfully or- ganized Spirit Week, Homecoming, and a Hornet sweatshirt sale. The fall student body officers contin- ued to bring strong leadership to AHS through hard working student government. 1: Student Body President Morris Bonadona takes authority seriously. 2: Vice-President Cindy Zecher on wheels. ; : 3: Recording Secretary Kim Holmes is made of sugar and spice and everything nice. 4: Financial Secretary Susan Davids back to na- ture. 5: Commissioner of Spirit Dana Nelson on the job. 6: Student Representative Gail O’Connell leans on a friend. Student Body Officers - Fall 19 AHS leadership members, led by speaker Kim Clary, met each morning in the student activities room to plan various fall functions. The class was di- vided into different committees, each with a chairman. The Social Activities, Campus Affairs, Publicity, Finance, and Policy committees kept busy organizing activities such as: dances, noon rallies, a chili feed and the Fall Sports Award Des- sert. The 1978-1979 social calendar was full ol surprises because of the dedicated work of our conscientious leaders. i: The 1978-1979 Fall Ad-Board. 2: Toni Nicosia passes a secret note to Recording Secretary Kim Holmes. 20 Leadership - Fall Spring Leadership mem- bers promoted the Hornet spirit of AHS with fun fund-raisers and interesting ac- tivities this past semester. The organiza- tion of these activities began with ideas brought up in the individual committees. These committees included the Social Activities, Finance, Policy, and Campus Affairs groups. A few of the activities were the Don Perata Paper Shoot, an as- sembly at Thompson Field, a student Gong Show, a Powder Puff Football Game, and Sports Awards Dinners. All of the Leadership class members partici- pated in the various happenings. The goal of each Leadership member was to be responsible, dependable, and enthu- siastic, so as to insure quality Leadership. 3: Speaker Morris Bonadona, Vice-Speaker Jeff Heimans and Recording Secretary Mary McElhinney, keep Ad-Board meetings running smoothly. 4: 1979 Ad-Board Leadership-Spring 21 1: The 1978 Fall JV Yell Leaders Bottom Row: Melanie Targett, Assistant Head Elise McElhinney.

Dressed in costumes ranging from hula dancers to fierce safari animals, the AHS students anxiously awaited the _ rival game of the year: Hornets vs. Jets. Lunch time activities such as the strenuous tug-of-wars between classes, bubble gum blowing contests, and spirit rallies, kept the students buzzing. The Class of “79” with the theme “Se- niors go Hawaiian”, was chosen as the most spirited class. A close second were the Junior Egyptians, with the Soph- omore Safari coming in third. Last, but still spirited, were the Freshman Firemen. The enthusiasm of the entire Student Body spread throughout AHS during the week. 1: Sophomore pull power! 2: Mary McElhinney, alias Cleopatra, supports the Junior Egyptians. 3: Freshman only think they’re number one. 26 Spirit Week ek 27 pirit We S Senior Hawaiians get rowdy! 6: Hula dancers shake up the crowd. v a7) a My =) vn 5 _ : 1: “Bedtime, kids!” 2: “Not me, Dracula!” 3: Todd waits for the Count to arrive. 4: Hypnotized by Dracula’s spell. . . 5: Count Dracula hits an off note. 28 Plays Dracula a three-act play di- rected by Lon Eakes, proved to be a dra- matical success.

Living up to its name, the all male band gladly cooperated with the Yell- Leaders and Pom-Pon girls during their routines and noontime rallies. Although playing only for fun, the Hornies’ musical talents dazzled their audiences.

The people responsible for the fantastic turn- out were Chairman John Carlson, Co- Chairman Sue Falkner, and of course, the class of 1981. Musical entertainment was provided by White Satin. The dance was semi-for- mal and everyone who came had a Ball. 1: The Soph Hop Committee; (left-right) Carol Nohra, Shannon Stanley, John Carlson, Sue Faulk- ner, Diana Wadsworth, and Debbie Gangwer. 2: AHS students enjoy themselves at the Soph Hop. 3: Nothing can stop Cindi and Ida. 4: “Let me see your Student Body card.” 6: “Dancing makes me thirsty.” : White Satin Band jams on at the Soph Hop. 7: “Why did we come?” Soph Hop 35 1: President Cindy Zecher 2: Vice-President Kim Clary 3: Recording Secretary Mary McElhinney Officers of the Student Body drove hard to improve the general atmosphere at AHS this past spring.

Also working hard was Kim Clary, who, as Vice President, headed the Pol- icy Committee. Recording Secretary Mary McElhinney coordinated an AHS dance and kept records of all Ad Board meetings. Financial Secretary Susan Davids led a hard-working committee, which orga- nized a Jog-a-thon, and two Sports Awards Desserts. Commissioner of Spirit Ronda Good- man worked on the annual Don Perata Paper Shoot and Powder Puff Football Game, and a Car Rally. A new office this year was the Public- ity Officer. The election of Toni Nicosia proved helpful to the Student Body Offi- cers in their drive to unite. 36 Student Body Officers-Spring 4: Commissioner of Spirit Ronda Goodman 5: Financial Secretary Susan Davids 6: Publicity Officer Toni Nicosia tt hGH wy Hg s = a t 0 Student Body Officers-Spring 37 4) v £ — ae = = Q 2) = ae) ay Re. $ = Spirit promotion was the main goal of the spring yell leading and pom- pon lines this year.

During this busy time, one could find brown baggers munching out in the cafeteria, students purchasing hot dogs and sandwiches on Park Street, studious pupils cramming in the library for after- noon tests, club members meeting to- gether to plan future fund-raisers or field trips, and groups of students at the circle observing Hornet rallies. The lunch hour is used to promote school spirit with ral- lies sponsored by the cheerleaders and pom-pon girls and to entertain students at AHS. 1: Cheerleaders and Pom-pon girls entertain the lunchtime crowd. 2: AHS students strutting back from lunch at Park Street. 3: Ugh!

Lunchtime 45 Scholastically speaking, the Media Center facilities are designed to meet the needs of all of the AHS students. A number of reference materials such as informative filmstrips, interesting slidesets, video cameras, mi- crofiche, records and a wide variety of books are used by approximately 1200 students daily. Coming in handy are the center’s facilities; including a sunken reading area, seminar rooms, a filmloop center, typing room, career center, and a recently opened darkroom. With all of the facilities available to the students through the center it is no won- der that during its short period of exis- tence, it has proved to be quite helpful. 1: AHS freshmen don’t know what else to do .. . except study! 2: Brett Macneur finds a whoopie cushion on the seat. 3: An AHS student finds private booths a quiet place to study. 46 Media Center 4: Troy Pauline gets information from an experienced sophomore. 5: “I can read it all by myself.” 6: The sunken reading area is a favorite spot for students. Media Center 47 Washington _ i: such as the Arlington National ceme- tary, the Smithsonian, the White House, Capitol Hill, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial were among the reknowned places visited by the Close-Up participants this year. With 33 AHS students in atten- dance, and a very busy schedule, the week long trip flew by. Advisors Don Perata and Bob Alle- grotti mentioned that Close-Up will be open to all classes next year, and anyone interested is welcome to par- ticipate in the program. The trip proved to be fun but snowy, with 11 inches of snow falling during the week. The highlight of the week was a breakfast with Pete Stark. A sad farewell was made during a disco dance the last night before de- parture. It was here that everyone said their goodbyes to new friends, state representatives, and to Washington D.C. 1: View of U.S. Capital from Constitution Ave. 4: Students patiently waiting to see Vice-President 6: The snow in D.C. was as “White” as the 2: 1979 Close-Up participants Mondale. “House”. 3: The Sheraton Park Hotel was a home away from 5: Jimmy Ogden plays Senator. 7: The Washington Monument. home for a week. 48 Close-Up Close-Up 49 | f H H : 3 u Yearbook challenges were met with great success this year. The 1979 Acorn Staff, led by Editor Jeff Heimans along with Assistant Editor Susan Davids, soon learned how to write copy, design lay- outs, crop photographs, sell ads, and or- ganize all this together into an interesting yearbook. After deciding on the theme for the book, HORNET POWER, Jeff and mem- bers of the staff attended a yearbook conference at Cal State Hayward where many new ideas were discussed. This year new features about the book include the special effects image on the cover, which was done in a television studio in San Francisco, the complete full color introduction with forty color pictures, and the addition of sixteen more pages increasing the book to 256 total pages. Although this year’s staff was the first staff ever to have no previous experi- ence with yearbook at all, and they en- countered a difficult transition of advi- sors, they worked extremely hard and saw all obstacles conquered. we: a eet ge —— ee tt a ie - 1: Yearbook photographers look into the future. 2: Assistant Editor Susan Davids tries to look busy. 3: Acorn Editor Jeff Heimans tries to meet deadline. 4: The 1978-1979 Acorn Staff 50 Yearbook ne Ce eR al ee fis — in = Y A LY fol = § v 52 Oak Leaf . — ' COSA 1d as — Oak Leaf staff, led by Edi- tor Brad Kieffer, kept the students in- formed of the happenings throughout the year.

Under the leadership of Susan Davids, President, the group has been quite busy working on the possible Alameda High School-Encinal High School merging. A major project was the production of a booklet consisting of information about all of the clubs at AHS. Karen Matsuura was the Vice-Chairman of the Student Curriculum Council. 1: President Susan Davids and Co-Chairman Karen Matsuura enjoy their paperwork. 2: Members of the 1978-79 SCC fis ca saline Maal ee tm 54 Student Curriculum Council Pedestrians wr vatue their lives, should always take caution when out-of-doors, for one never knows when the students of AHS, preparing for their future driving careers, are on the road. These students know the basic traffic laws and regulations, but they are only beginners behind the wheel and need intensive training as drivers. A new policy at AHS is that students enrolled in the 30 hour classroom course, Driver’s Education, or the actual driving course, Driver’s Training, can now obtain graduation credits by pass- ing the classes. Remember that while venturing out into the real world in the automobile of Driver’s Training students, both the backseat passengers and the instructors have had experiences which they will never be able to forget. Knowing this, when you see a Driver’s Training car, and you notice students sunk down in their seats or teachers who are nervous and flushed, you will know that there was a “close call” a bit earlier ... There is but one word to describe what the pedestrian should do when a marked Driver's Training car is in.sight - 3: Driver Ed. students hit the books. 4: Driver Training Students patiently wait for their new teacher. 5: A new driver looks confident.

Stats taken were rushing and passing yardage, first downs, punting, and yards gained per play. Stat Girls for basketball also recorded stats important for ACAL records such as free throws, field goals and attempts, rebounds, steals, assists, and turnovers. Mat Maids for the wrestling team re- corded the wrestler’s points and proved to be very inspirational Girls. 1: The 1978 Football Stat Girls; (left-right) Lori Ma- zor, Terri Miller, Lynda Ferguson, Diane Wallace, Selma Seabock 2: Stat Girls Mary MacElhinney, Mimi Kim, and Debbie Gangwer enjoy the game. 3: Debbie Reitz checks out the stats. 4: The Mat Maids; Margaret Mullens and Carol VanAmburg 56 Stat Girls Pos 33 Ps ee ih Fund raising activities were al- ways present in the agenda of AHS. Along with the various clubs, the student government participated in the struggle to raise money. Car washes, paper drives, candy sales, and flower sales all contributed to the success and unity of the groups. A jog-a-thon, international dinner, and a mistle-toe sale were the main sources of income this year, being among AHS’s money raisers. 5: What more could Santa want for Christmas? 6: Concessions. . .too tempting for Dana. ..and Ronda too? 7: Karen Holsinger collects for Key Club paper drive. 8: “Last one to finish the Jog-a-thon races Mr. Price.” Fund Raiders 57 1: “Milk has something for every body, even mine!” 2: Eda says, “Service with a smile.” 3: Dave Wehr discovers the great feel of money. 58 Work Experience Work for the advantage of Alameda students was supervised by Mr Cecil VanSickle this year.

The cadet leaders were Major Michael Dickinson, Captain Ken Brown, Lieuten- ant Phillip Deeff, and Lieutenant Bret Silva. Culminating the school year’s activi- ties were the Annual Competition and Awards Ceremony, in which the cadets of AHS competed with those of EHS for the Major’s Trophy, to win the reputa- tion as the best unit. 1: Phillip Deeff being escorted by his two male companions. 2: ROTC participants in the Veteran’s Day Parade. 3: ROTC Colorguards do their thing. 60 ROTC 4: ROTC cadet breaks world record for standing motionless ... while at gunpoint. 5: With excitement on their faces, the AHS ROTC marches on. 6: ROTC plays follow the leader.

Thanks to eager photographers, inter- ested sponsors, and the availability of the school’s dark room coordinated by John Wetzork, the club was a great suc- cess this year. Club members developed, printed, and enlarged student-taken photo- graphs. Some of the pictures were en- tered in company-sponsored photo contests. The officers included President An- thony Finelli, Secretary Mr. Regello, and Treasurer Craig Jaber. The sponsors of the group were Mrs. Dill, Mrs. Winzen- read, and Mr. Regello.

Ski Club 133 r — e Video members were quite busy this year producing a video tape based on a script entitled “Ripoff’s Be- lieve It Or Not” directed by Randy Ong. Much of the group’s time was initially used to acquaint members with T.V. cameras, video-tape recorders, special effects generators, and a dimmer board. The major purpose of the group was to purchase items for the studio. This year, money was raised for purchasing paint and casters to complete a speaker's stand for the Club. 1: The 1978-79 Video Club 2: Video Club Officers for 1978-79 134 Video Club X se Sign Language .. . technique which was developed to break the language barrier between the deaf and the hearing.

Sponsor Mr. Terrell and his so- called “class” honors an open member- ship policy, feeling that it was both a worthwhile and fun activity for all inter- ested. Under the leadership of sponsor Mrs. Ames, the Usherettes were busy serving AHS and the community of Alameda in various ways. This courteous group of girls helped the Hornets by taking tickets and seating the audience at school plays, such as the season’s successful opener, “Dracula.” The club also began a tradi- tion at AHS. They purchased honor pins for the seniors which were faithful during their high school years as Usherettes. 3: The 1978-79 Sign Language Club 4: The 1978-79 Usherettes Sign Language Club and Usherettes 135 1: President Gary Silverman and Vice-President Catherine Mariani 2: Treasurer Gerri Ratto and Secretary Chris Wagnon 3: Yell Leader Tammy Foster 138 Senior Class Officers - Fall we Senior pride and spirit were the major contributors to the capture of the “Most Spirited Class” title at AHS during the Spirit Week Competition. While “Going Hawaiian”, hula dancers and yell leaders lead the enthusiastic class in cheers and chants during their noon rally. Officers and active seniors organized and carried out many successful activi- ties and fund-raisers for their final year at AHS. A major fund-riaser was a senior get-together where 30 seniors formed assembly lines at the Hyatt Regency and made hotel catalogs. Their labor was re- warded by hospitality and an all ex- pense-paid room for their Senior Ball at the Hyatt Regency, of course. High- lighting the year were the Senior Ban- quet held at the Lake Merrit Hotel, the All-Night Party at Disneyland, and the Senior Ball in June.
