Spirit increased by at least 50 percent. Rallies and class competitions took place every Friday, with participation from all the classes. For the first time, the Home- coming parade included floats from sports and clubs as well as from the classes, for a procession of 14 floats. The lottery spurred much enthusiasm from the students as the cheerleaders and many others participated in its kick-offat the Historic Alameda High. Not quite as positive, however, were the responses to the vandalism problem. With yearly increases in enrollment, the litter problem became more acute as the year’s budget cuts in the school district resulted in cuts in the school’s decentral- ized budget and fewer custodians. But optimism and hard work pre- vailed. Support from various organiza- tions complimented the school’s budget, and students initiated programs to com- bat litter and vandalism. AHS students always came through to show that they deserve our special focus. Making the grade - Senior Todd Bodner takes time out to work on the Oak Leaf.

Why focus on Alameda High? What makes us so special? Weare the largest school on the island; we have much to offer in clubs, athletics, aca- demics, and fine arts. The diversity of peo- ple at AHS contributes to this unique pool of talent. We are continuously surrounded by outstanding students such as Laura Toepfer, writer; Justin Chin, artist; James Bradford, musician; Ricky Keiser, athlete; Phil Ricafort, actor; Cathy Cohen, dancer; and even Marin Lutz, a fast-talking politi- cian. Each and every one of us has some- thing to offer. The people here are special. There is a spirit that permeates every class, every club, every individual here. We don’t focus on AHS just because the football team is highly ranked, nor do we focus on AHS because of our NCTE and National Merit Winners. We focus on this school be- cause the students here know they are the future. In the bag - Senior Parminder Singh has the Ju- nior State memberships wrapped around his fin- ger on Club Day.

The 1985-86 school year proved to be all these things, and more. The first dance was an indication of what was to come. With over 700 sweaty bodies jammed onto one tarp-covered dance floor, even an innocent wallflower standing to the side could feel the energy that gen- erated throughout the room. That spirit didn’t stop after the dance; it was something that the whole student body felt at every ral- ly and at every sports event. The feeling has no definition. You just have to be part of awesome Alame- da High. Friendship was also a big part of our attitude. The cameraderie, laughter, and good times bounced off our orange tiled walls and through the Circle, depicting the best of times. 1. Let’s go crazy! - AHS students boogie the night away. 2.

The Fall Cheerleaders and Pom-Pon girls en- thusiastically led the cheers for our teams. They chanted in unison, rousing the crowd at games, noon-rallies, and assemblies. Aside from supporting our football and basketball teams, the cheerleaders appeared at water-polo, volley- ball, and other games, giving our team added strength and vigor. They were led by Kirsten Leavitt and Jessica Abude, both seniors. A new English teacher, Ms. Janice Carroll, was their enthusiastic advisor. The girls spent many hours after school and during the summer practicing and per- fecting their routines. “This year was especially spirited because of hard work and dedication,” shouted Nicole Carroll. Together, they bolstered our school spirit. Check it out! - Look at all the funny people in the stands! 14 Spirit Squad Left: Hail to the chief! - The spirit squad finished another perfect routine with a wave to the crowd.

Striking the spark that stimulated and maintained school spirit and pride, this elected group was responsi- ble for many school activities. Beginning with a wel- come to all the students and administrators. leadership went on to plan assemblies, rallies, and dances. They provided rides to away football games on the rooter buses, and made up posters for those who requested one. From the beginning, Leadership aimed at being as valuable as possible, dealing with as many of this school’s needs as they possibly could. This group was broken up to committees, and each committee was responsible for the planning and run- ning of a particular type of event. When the activity took place, everyone pitched in to help it run smoothly. Leadership was comprised of class presidents, stu- dent body officers and ad-board members elected by the student body.

The week of October 14th-18th had been a hectic one for everyone, especially the court; “but so much fun, too” recalled Kirsten Leavitt. Throughout the week, AHS’s very own royalty dressed Hawaiian, sporty, crazy and as twins. There were competitions held all week. One day, the guys donned the girls frocks (and vice versa); there was an egg toss, a treasure hunt, and a trash pickup contest. The “‘soberest” event was the “Baby I Love You, But I Just Can’t Smile’ Contest. Members of the court attempted to make contestants laugh. The contests. were not restricted to the court. “One day Kristen just pulled me off the grass because I was wearing an I-Zod shirt which was part of her treasure hunt. It was really funny,” giggled Susie Brown. The week ended with the annual homecoming football game. It proved to be a crushing defeat for our Richmond opponents. Liz Grimes, who helped coordinate the week’s activities, remembered the actual crowning, “It was a really exciting week, but thank goodness it’s over!” Above: Hark! Who goes there? - It’s Laurie Connelly, Andrea Kassabian and Marin Lutz at the Homecoming Dance! Homecoming 19 Hornet Mania Continues In the tense and exciting last hour before the Homecoming game and the ceremonies, many spirited stu- dents took part in a colorful parade that involved various clubs, sports teams and classes. The hard team effort of the Junior class payed off when they placed first in the float competition while the Senior class took second place and the Sopho- more class captured third place. The Homecoming dance finished the week of fun, high spirits and school pride. The success of this oc- cassion resulted from the combined effort of a large portion of the popu- lation at AHS, with special thanks going to the Leadership class under the guidance of Mr. Robert Rodd.

Hornet spirit attacked the halls of AHS dur- ing spirit week. Competitions among the classes were held daily to find the most spirited class. Tuesday was nerd day. Students dressed as the typical, unfashionable nerds. Wednes- day was class day: each class chose a theme, dressed according to the theme, decorated a hall, and performed a skit. The sophomore’s Back to the Future Hall captured first place while the juniors, who went to Fairyland, grabbed second place. The seniors surfed into third place with their Life’s a Beach Hall and the Frosh, who went Fishing, fell into fourth place. The skits were performed at the assembly, with the seniors placing first, the juniors sec- ond, the sophomores third, and the frosh fourth. Hornets showed they truly possess class on Thursday, “‘Deck it out day”, when they dressed up. Spirit week was used to generate spirit with- in AHS and led up to the “big game” against our cross city rivals, the Encinal Jets. On Fri- day, students sported gold and white to sup- port our team at the game.

Oak Leaf Wins- In “Lottery Scandal” At the end of its second successful year of pub- lication, the Oak Leaf Staff, with editors Melissa Michelson and Gloria Morales at the helm, can look back and be proud of a job well done. In the first part of the year, hard work and determination brought the exciting “lottery scan- dal” to the attention of AHS students. Ms. Judy Thompson and Ms. Karen Roemer, who shared the honor of advising the newspaper, stood be- hind their reporters throughout the controversy, and stated that they were an “extremely good staff.” The students decided to look at the sticky situation positively, and were quite excited about all the publicity it generated. The Tribune and the Times Star picked up the story off the issue service, and the Times Star reprinted it to use as their lead story. Del Lane, a reporter from the Tribune praised the article as a “good piece of investigative journalism.” Dave Jackson and his crew from KPIX Channel 5 visited the staff to interview the students, and KSFO FM reported the controversy on their station. In the spring, the Oak Leaf took its fine jour- nalsim into competition, and hoped to do well. ss Ms. Roemer commented that “we’re good now, The lottery scandal was ad great by spring we should be even better.” But accu- rate, informative journalism, not awards, was the learning experience. Because of the primary concern of the Oak Leaf Staff, and Ms. newspaper and ie V. coverage vf don't Roemer complimented that the newspaper had : ; eyes : “an award winning staff—with or without think there’s a rival student newspaper ds.” A ’ nas in the Bay Area who doesn’t know who Alameda High and the Oak Leaf are.” 24 Oak Leaf Gloria Morales, senior. “lt has a better look this year.’’ Ivan Olds, senior.

Far right: Material girls? - Seniors, Kristi Jensen, Hind Zine, and Stephanie D’Orazio discuss the “Importance of Life.” What do you get when you cross a jock, a prep, a new waver, a rocker, and an academic achiever? A top box office hit called the Breakfast Club, right? Wrong, you get Alame- da High. When asked what “category” they were in, some people denied affiliation, but upon further questioning many finally decided upon a category that others generally put them in. When asked what style she was, Senior Andrea La Fran- cois replied, “I have a style all my own, I copy no one, they copy me.” Andrea likes Madonna, the Uptones, and the Thompson Twins, but she protested that she wasn’t a groupy, and that she doesn’t dress just like them! There were many different styles of dress seen around campus this past year, but not only were the styles different, the attitudes varied as well. Garments worn by a certain group of people were often a sign of what people were really like. For instance, the dress of the new waver is loud, flam- boyant, and colorfully exciting, all of which denotes the atti- tude of self-assurance, and outspokeness. The rockers clothes were dark and subdued, yet surprisingly tough. But all in all, the face of AHS went deeper than fashion. It went way beyond that, into the people, because they are what made the school, not the clothes.

Do you like meeting new people, getting involved in projects, or taking various trips around the Bay Area? The Club Day 1985 was the day to attend. From its very beginning at noon time, the circle was packed with inter- ested students hoping to find the per- fect club to suit their interests. Each table was mobbed by the stu- dents trying either to sign up or find more information about the clubs which had caught their interest. As a result of Club Day, many clubs dou- bled or tripled in size. Taking trips to various places seemed to be the main focus of most clubs. “We’re hoping to go to the Lawrence Hall of Science,” said Nel- son SooHoo, the president of the new science club, Paden’s Place. There were approximately 26 clubs this year. Some of those were Block A, Fashion Club, Junior Statesmen of America, and Art Club.

Enjoy active sports activities? Then partici- pating in Intramurals was for you. In- tramurals was for all those people who enjoy fast pace sports activities. Every Thursday during lunch time teams competed against each other in various sports such as badminton, vol- leyball and basketball. “T want many people to join Intra- murals,” said Liz Grimes who was in charge of the program. “I think it’s important for many people to com- pete against each other.” As always, softball, like every other year, turned out to be the most popu- lar sport of Intramurals. Many people joined the lunch time sports program to have fun and for enjoyment. Students, and even teach- ers participated in Intramurals. Intramurals were for everyone who wanted to compete in their favorite sports without spending time after school, and to have a good time.

Intramurals 29 “Assemblies are totally rad, they’re awesome, they’re gnarly.’’ These were the strong sentiments of Mr. Robert Rodd when asked his feelings about the assemblies. The Leadership Class was in charge of these programs and had a dual goal in planning and arranging them. They wanted to inform and en- tertain, preferably by using student talent and skills. Thanks to our first assembly we discovered the dancing talents of 13 AHS boys, namely: the Nerdettes, who dazzled us with a routine and several acrobatic feats. Spirit and unity at AHS were also evident at the rallies. The cheerleaders and pom-pon girls involved the student body in supporting our school teams with skits about our opposing teams, new routines and class competitions. Spirit at AHS was definitely alive! Above right: A group of students enjoy a noontime rally. Middle right: Thrilled aren’t we? - Brian Young shows his excitement at a noontime rally.

Rallies Assemblies 31 Class Conspiracies Throughout the year, the different classes com- peted against each other for points, money, and prestige. For most of the year, the Seniors took center stage, showing off their prowess and exper- ience at egg tosses, laugh contests, food feeds, and spirit skits. But after four years, what else could have been expected? Following closely behind were the other classes who showed an equal amount of enthusiasm and unified spirit. For both the spirit and Homecom- ing weeks, all participated eagerly. People from every class dressed up and supported their indi- vidual classes. The general atmosphere of the class competi- tions was tremendously encouraging. According to senior Janet Bunker, ““The class competitions were interesting, and an enjoyable change from my daily routine.” Above right: Porridge anyone? - Junior Kerry Cunningham flaunts her goldie locks.

Class Competion 33 A Creative Endeavor “C.R.O.W. is gaining popularity and offer- ing a means of self expression,” said Melissa La Follette, one of the club’s members. The major goal of C.R.O.W. this year was to pub- lish a literary magazine, and attract students interested in reading or writing creative litera- ture. Encouraging the students creativity was their enthusiastic advisor, Mrs. Joan Brown. She and her students involved themselves with many outside activities including a ““mixed-me- dia adventure” using water color paints and music to set the mood for creative writing. The group also went to Mrs. Brown’s house to discuss poetry, critique poets, and sponsored a poetry contest for the students of Alameda High. “We do fun stuff,” said Sharon Mc Gregor, “T would encourage anyone to get involved!” 2 Left: Hey- It’s Sponsor Joan Brown!

The sixth period drama class was the very heart of this year’s fall drama production, The Crucible. The Crucible opened on November 22 for a four night run. The fourth play put on by the drama depart- ment was given high ratings by students and teachers alike. Centered around the Salem witch trials of 1692, The Crucible in fact is an analogy for the time in which it was written, 1953, when hysteria concerning commu- nism prevailed. “The drama department did a very nice job. It was enjoyable,” recalled Arlene Hoshi. This “varsity” of the drama department felt that the audience was just as much a part of the show as the cast. “It’s a social interaction,” commented Mr. Fred Chacon, the drama teacher. “The actors must form There are no small parts only small ac- 9 cciations with the audience or it doesn’t work.” tors. ) Fall Drama 37 Listen To® The Rhythm “Alameda High School has an ex- cellent student body with good feeling and spirit,” commented our energetic new band teacher, Mr. Armen Phelps. “T’m looking for ward to the band growing in number,” said Mr. Phelps when asked what changes he would like to see take place in the Music Department at AHS next year. He felt that prospective musicians had many scheduling conflicts that pre- vented them from taking part in the program. Besides the usual band activities, such as playing at football games and the graduation ceremony, Mr. Phelps wanted to see future bands playing at basketball games to promote school spirit, and at service club luncheons to gain experience performing.

Led by Debbie Brown and Ramona Finn, the girls had a vigorous schedule. “It’s rough because we have four games a week, and the games started one week after we tried out. It was hard to get it together,” sighed a weary Debbie Brown. All their hard work did pay off, not only were they pleased with themselves, but they were greatly appreciated by others as well. “I like them (the cheer- —— y ' leaders) a lot. They’re good. They add a ; , little life to the team,” reflected Girod Tillman, a guard for the basketball team. The affection that Tillman expressed was not one sided. “They (the basketball team) are sweethearts,” giggled Alisa Moraes. The season went well for the girls, and most of them looked forward to next year’s Fall line. 40 Cheerleading Below: Standing strong - Ramona Finn leads her pom pon girls to enthusiasm Left: A “head” of the rest - Marin Lutz and Jill Freistroffer are the assistants to the heads, Ramona Finn and Debbie Brown.

Cheerleading 41 With his mind working a mile a minute, re-elected Student Body President Chris Kelly had a number of things planned for the spring se- mester. “It seems as if student participa- tion is beginning to die off,” com- mented Kelly. “I want to see to it that the spirit is kept alive!” And alive it was with another Spirit Week in the process of being planned. This added activity to the spring cal- endar would hopefully bring back the spirit that appeared to be lost in the clouds. A major project in the Leadership Class was to try and lessen the prob- lem of starvation around the world, as well as in our own city. Leadership Hands Across Alameda hoped to be able to have a “Hunger Week” where the student body could contribute canned foods for the needy. This was one of Kelly’s main concerns, and he hoped to be able to start a “Hands Across Alameda” pro- gram where all of the schools in the city would join hands to help fight against hunger and starvation. Assisting Kelly with his goals were Sandy Almason, vice-president; Tra- cy Wright, financial secretary; Liz Grimes, intramurals commissioner; Shannon Knepper, publicity officer; Rosalie Felix, commissioner of spirit; Tim Harrison, class competition coor- dinator; and Dora Leong, student re- presentative to the School Board.

The production was a variety of scenes from various plays, TV shows, and books, and was performed on February 7 and 8. A different aspect of this type of production was the extremes in emotion portrayed by the cast from one scene to the next due to the broad subject range. ‘A Night off Broadway held your attention because it covered everything from Ag- nes of God to the Odd Couple,” commented Mike Dean. Members of the drama class directed these per- formances which proved to be a great learning experience. 44 Spring Drama Laundry time - Teri Eavenson and Alyssa Benn in himsical scene from Bourbon and Laundry The Odd Couple -Phillip Ricafort and Jimmy Hord portray Oscar and Felix beautifully A bove: If looks could kill - Senior Cynthia Pearson glares at her play sister off stage Left: Look at that! - Teri Eavenson and Alyssa Benn from a scene in Bourbon and Laundr) Spring Drama 45 JOURNAL by the Acorn Staff Guests Flight Ends In Disaster On January 28, 1986, the 25th Space Shuttle Mission (51L) ended in disaster. In less than two minutes after lift-off, the Shuttle Challenger exploded and was consumed in a giant fireball. The cause was believed to have been a fuel leak from the right solid booster rocket that eventually burned into the main fuel tank, igniting the hydrogen and oxy- gen. The seven astronauts aboard included Francis R. Scobbe, Judith A. Resnick, Ellison S. Onizuka, Ronald E. MacNair, Michael J. Smith, Gregory B. Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe, who would have been the first teacher inspace. The au- dience at Cape Canaveral witnessed the explosion, but did not realized what had happened until the official announce- ment came over the loudspeakers. In many schools throughout the country, students watched the explosion in disbe- lief. The school in New Hampshire where Christa McAuliffe taught was closed for a day to allow students to calm down. Flags were lowered at half-mast for a week to commemorate the astro- X-mas Cheer As the USS Carl Vinson’s adoptee, studen ts, faculty and the PTSA decided to bring some good cheer to the crew aboard the aircraft carrier not on leave during the Christmas holidays. Under the supervision of student Alfio Levy and the PTSA, baked goods were brought aboard the Carl Vinson on December 20. Shown at right are students Alfio Levy and Maureen Nohra toting the , | cookies, cakes, and bread a aboard. -Dora Leong oa A 46 Journal nauts. The nation was in shock and grief. 1986 was to be the shuttle program’s most ambitious year to date, with twen- ty-four scheduled launches and the con- struction of a space station. Immediately after the explosion, res- cue and search teams were deployed in hopes of finding survivors. This was in vain. Later that day, the crew of seven were presumed to be dead. Parts of the craft, fuel tank, and booster were found in the weeks later in the Atlantic Ocean. A full investigation was launched by NASA and President Reagan appointed a special Presidential Commission to further the investigation. The details uncovered by the Presi- dential Commission were astonishing. NASA was accused of negligence and the decision to launch in the near freez- ing weather was criticized as being more politically-minded rather than with con- cern for safety. The crew of seven knew the dangers involved with the space program. They went through countless drills and were well informed of the risks. But they also saw the glory, the thrill, and the true honor of being representatives of their country. The United States had lost seven great men and women, but perhaps, by picking up where they left off, the work they began could be furthered. -Donald S. Wong Retreat A Success “It was such a great experience! Besides learning, we all became a lot closer and aware of each other. It helped us with communication!” ex- claimed Tracy Wright in response to the Leadership Retreat held on Janu- ary 17-18 at the Golden Gate Youth Hostel in Sausalito. The idea for the retreat came from Chris Kelly and Tracy Wright, who had attended a CASC camp the sum- mer before, and thought it would be advantageous for Alameda High. The Leadership class was enthusiastic, and to everyone’s surprise, so was the administration. “I think they thought I'd say no!” said Robert Rodd, Lead- ership advisor. Largely planned by Kelly and Wright, the retreat includ- ed student-taught seminars, and small-instructional sessions, and a guest speaker. It was meant to inspire the students to become better leaders, and to give them more ideas. Some of the seminars held were on fundrais- ing, time management, and positive thinking. The students thought the most valuable part of the weekend was the trust they shared. During a forty- eight hour period they reaffirmed their faith in themselves, and learned to feel comfortable sharing thoughts and fears with each other. “If we were to plan it again,” said Mr. Rodd, “we'd do it exactly the same. It was fabulous.” -Colleen. Clark More Faculty Denise Standiford, a new English teacher, taught at Gainesville, Florida before coming here. A fifteen year veteran of the teaching profession, she also taught computers at AHS. Carlos Gustavo Houghton was the replacement for Ruth Romero-Avila, a Spanish teacher who had gone to Spain. He came from Peru and has been in the United States for nineteen years. This was his second year teaching; his other jobs included work- ing as a substitute teacher. bid The Gift Of Life Alameda High Senior Monique Jones received an unusual 17th birthday gift from the student body on November 26, 1985 —the gift of life. Jones was diag- nosed as having a tumor during the fall, and was forced to spend the year in and out of Stanford Medical Center receiv- ing treatment for her cureable type of cancer. The idea for the unusual gift came from Jones herself, according to Student Body President Chris Kelly. “Monique called me and said if we would like to help her, as well as others at the Medical Center, we should try to get as many people as possible to give blood.” The Leadership class was then able to organize the annual drive to benefit those requiring transfusions. Prior to the successful drive, AHS donated 85 of the 173 units already in the school’s “bank account” in Jones’ Cafe-Rides Safe-Rides, a program involving students from AHS, began to provide confidential rides home to students who were too intoxicated to drive or to those who didn’t wish to be passen- gers of drunk drivers. The program, supported by the Explorers program of Boy Scouts, was located at the Ala- meda Red Cross. It operated Friday and Saturday nights from 10 pm to 2:30 am. For a safe-ride home, stu- dents called 769-SAFE. -Dora Leong -Theron Skyles name. Parents, teachers friends and students reported to room 31 throughout the day to give blood. Anyone over 17 and older was invited to participate. The final count showed that AHS had raised 91 units for the cause on Novem- ber 26, bringing the total donation to 176 units to help Jones and others like her. -G. Jean Morales A Rose Of A Record On August 21, 1985, a couple of weeks after he had tied Ty Cobb’s record (4,192 hits), Pete Rose broke it with a single off Eric Show, bringing his total to 4,193 hits. Rose was a member of the Big Red Machine of the Cincinatti Reds. The other members included the legendary Johnny Bench, home-town hero Joe Morgan, and All-Stars Dave Concep- cion and Tony Perez. The Big Red Ma- chine terrorized the National League pitchers until they were separated by trades. Rose was traded to the Philadelphia The End Of The ACAL The North Coast Section of Managers voted 17-15 for the realignment of all Northern California Leagues, slated to begin next fall. Alameda High was placed in the Central Conference as a 3A school, and will be competing against other well-known schools as DeLa Salle and Berkeley High; Encinal was placed in another league as a 2A school. Although ‘‘Big Games” between EHS and AHS will continue to be sched- uled, they will no longer have any effect on league standings. -Dora Leong In Memory Of ‘Big Al’ “Big Al” Cabral, a member of presi High’s custodial staff, died on December 17. Much respected by the students, the leadership class dedicated a plaque in his memory and placed it in the new building. Phillies because of financial reasons. In 1981, the Phillies with Pete Rose went to the World Series, defeating the Orioles for the championship. Rose was consid- ered an integral part of the Phillies. In the spring of 1984, Rose was hired as a player-manager for the Reds again, enabling him to pursue Ty Cobb’s re- cord, and to draw more interest from the Cincinatti fans. -Fallon Lim Journal 47 ove At AHS Lori Belilove, nationally ac- claimed as a premiere interpreter of the work of Isadora Duncan, danced for Alameda High English students on October 24, 1985. With students sitting on folding chairs and the floor, Belilove and other dancers retold myths in movement in the Veteran’s Build- ing across from the school. Belilove, a New York based per- former, visited AHS due to the ef- forts of Barbara Gravelle, English teacher and a personal friend of Belilove’s. -Laura Toepfer Learning To Teach The California Association of Teachers of English (CATE) held their annual 3 day confer- ence at the Oakland Hyatt on February 21. Co-chaired by AHS’s Karen Roemer and Joan Brown, workshops to improve teaching from essay introduc- tions to the use of theater games in the classroom were held. One of the keynote speakers includ- ed Ray Bradbury, the author of Martian Chronicles. -Sandra Wong Halley’s Comet Returns Saying Good-bye Mrs. Romero-Avila, a Spanish teacher, left for Spain to be with her husband at the end of the first semester. Mrs. Romero said she would be living a “leisurely life” in Spain and may teach English as a second language. Mr. Jones, a Government and History teacher who taught at AHS for twenty-two years, retired to devote more time to his mar- riage and to become a family counselor. Susan Sparks, a student of Mr. Jones, thought of him as “‘a man who has very extreme and different opinions ... a lot to offer as a teacher and a friend.” -Kim Glucoft The Higher Keys On January 13, 1986, the High- er Keys from Brown University came to AHS to perform their singing abilities. This barber shop quartet style group performed at an optional assembly during third period. They sang a variety of songs from gospel to today’s pop songs. -Kameron Ishikata On September 14, 1985, Halley’s comet began its journey. It’s 29th return was greeted by five international space- craft — two by the Soviet Union, one by the European Space Agency, and two by Japan. Although the tragic loss of the Shuttle Challenger denied the United States an in-depth molecular analysis of the comet Halley, the Pioneer spacecraft was able to transmit information about it. Comet Halley will not be seen again until the year 2060. -Fritz Renema JOURNAL by the Acorn Staff Guests AHS Cleans Up Its Act Alameda High School enacted a new probationary litter policy designed to eliminate unsightly garbage left in and around the building after every lunch pe- riod. The policy, devised by a litter com- mittee, pooled ideas from concerned ad- ministrators, faculty, and students. It involved an administrator randomly choosing two students out of the crowd to take a tour of the campus after lunch. The three of them judged whether it was a clean or dirty day and announced it on the PA system after the fifth period tar- dy bell. The policy was originally scheduled to be active from January 8 to 30th, but was later extended to March 3. The goal, in order to prevent a lengthened day, was to achieve 70% “clean days.” As added incentive, the school made eating in the main building legal, and purchased eighteen gold and white trash cans. The main hope was that the in- creased awareness of the litter problem would cause students to think about the impression they were making by litter- ing and that it would instill enough pride to clean it up. When this goal was not reached, a sec- ond attempt to combat this problem was enacted. In the event of a dirty day, 5th period was extended five minutes during which students could “think clean’’. After three consecutive dirty days, cer- tain classes were assigned to leave Sth period in order to clean up the area around the room. -Kimberley Meredith Lottery Opens The California lottery officially began on October 3, 1985 as a way to fund public education. Tickets, $1 each, were sold to those 18 or older at many stores. Instant win- ners were claimed, as well as mil- lions in the televised show “The Big Spin.” 50% of the money went towards prizes, 34% for education, and 16% for administrative costs. Alameda Unified School District’s share of the lottery revenue for the 1985-86 school year totaled ap- proximately $600,000. -Dora Leong Dance 5 Heading For New York After competing against ten other dance groups in their division, the Dance 5 dancers, including six of AHS’s girls, Gretchen Anderson, F Wendy Buckner, Tiffany Clifford, _ Lisa Gallagher, Nicole Humphries, and Guen Toste, placed third in an interstate competition in San Francis- co. With their third place victory, Dance 5 won the right to travel to New York City for more competition. Already building a name for them- selves, Dance 5, a junior company to the professional Dance 10 dancers directed by Pamm Drake, planned to travel to various Bay Area schools to perform at assemblies, as well as dancing at Marriott’s Great America this summer. -Sandra Wong AHS Coach Honored AHS head baseball coach Don Murray was inducted as one of twelve charter members of the new Athletic Hall of Fame at California State Uni- versity at Hayward on Febru- ary 8. Murray played shortstop in his junior year at Hayward with a batting average of .400. The following year, he led the team in eight hitting categories in 1964, made the second team All-District 8 that year, and played on the All-Far Western Conference baseball team in 1964 and 1965. As a baseball coach at AHS, Murray saw five of his former students go into the minor leagues of professional base- ball. Murray also teaches phys- ical education and coaches the summer Merchants League teams for 16-18 year old boys. -Dora Leong School Site This year, the School Site Council, consisting of students, teachers, parents and administrators, handled the $24,000 that the Class of 1985 gained through their CAP scores. Students were polled to see what they wanted to do with the money, and the answers ranged from an amphitheater to a snack bar to a smok- ing area. The Council spent most of the year researching the best ideas. Four thou- sand dollars was set aside for the beauti- fication of AHS, and the rest of the twenty th ousand was set aside for some- thing that would benefit the whole school. -Anne Robie Journal 49 50 Clubs Division Associations Clubs Division 51 Below: Eye of the Tiger - Brent Uridge concentrates on the meeting.

Membership to this club grew to approximately seventy-five members from all nationalities. This group of enthusiastic people enjoyed activities such as, parties, gymnights, and a ski trip. To raise money, the club sold M Ms and held car washes. The main pur- pose of the Asian Club however, was to make students aware of their Asian heri- tage through club days and hall displays of Asian holidays. A fun environment was en- sured at all events to help promote these activities. Helping fall president Michael Leong with these activities were: Sandra Wong, vice-president; Kelly Chinn, corresponding secretary; Robert Song, recording secre- tary; and Pamela Lim, treasurer.

Asian Club 57 Brooks’ Brainy Bunch A major change occurred in meet- ings of the California Scholarship Federation (CSF). According to fall president Fritz Renema, organization was the key. Agendas were drawn up at every meeting, and as a first, re- cords of each member were kept. These records, index cards identify- ing each member, the number of se- mesters they were in CSF, their par- ticipation in fundraisers and field trips, lead to better relations and more unification between the mem- bers and the officers and advisor. The tutoring program, regressing yearly, began to rebuild under the leadership of fall Vice-President Eric Suess. In just four months, CSF members were able to tutor eight stu- dents, compared with last year’s total of four. Left: Sitting pretty - Eddie Lee waits patiently for the meeting to begin.

President Dora Leong was “amazed at the number of freshmen that are in this club. In fact, seniors and freshmen make up the majority of members.” With a membership of approximately thirty people, this group of politically aware students met weekly to discuss and debate such “hot” issues as prostitution, death penalty, and AIDS. The goal of the president was to leave the club with more members than it started out with. Through debates, thought talks, and videos an debating, mem- bers learned to open up to new ideas and to speak without fear.

The Keywan- ettes was a community service club and was sup- ported by the Kiwanis Club of Alameda. The Keywanettes focused on the elderly with the theme “Honor Our Heritage” and made fre- quent trips to the South Shore Convalesent Home. “They see kids and remember,” said Me- lissa Michelson. The Keywanettes gave gifts, decorated the home for every holiday, and the patients seemed to appreciate it. President Melissa LaFollette, Vice-President Melissa Michelson, Treasurer Inga Blankmeyer and Secretary Dora Leong along with advisor Jerry Fredgren seemed to be proud of the club’s performance. “We're the most improved and ac- tive club in the area,” said Melissa LaFollette.

Paint A Perfect Picture The smell of turpentine and hamburgers filled the air as the Art Club started its Friday meeting. ““The Art Club is an active, enthusiastic group of individual personalities who articulately disagree with one another . . . but I love them,” commented advisor Charmaine Pearson. Even though the Art Club was the smallest club at AHS, it was also one of the busiest. They held successful candy and hat sales, yet they focused on artistic achieve- ments by participating in the 2nd Annual AHS Art Show and the Alameda Art Association Art Show where AHS artists exhibited their work. Other goals were to enter the Hayward Forms of the Arts and the County Fair; both were art contests where artists competed for national acclaim. “The Art Club was not only for the artist but to enhance art education for enthusiastic people,” said Vice-President Jim Hord.

Under the direction of black belt Dave Fairfield, the class and club learned not only about the physical part of Jujitsu, but about the mental disci- pline required to master this art. The function of the club was to raise funds to support the club’s annual trips to various camps and exhibitions. The club attended instruction camp in the Santa Cruz mountains. Senior Janet Bunker said, “The Danzan Ryu camp was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We learned a lot and made new friends.’ Derek Pope, an advancing brown belt, said of the camp, “It made me proud to be a martial artise, just se ing all those different idealogies get along together was exhilarating.” Far right: Flip for me baby! - Fifth period Jujitsu is on the up and up.

Angle’s Angle “T have been trying for years to get a multi- racial club started at this school to fight racism,” said John Angle, advisor. The Multi-Racial Club, founded in 1977 by Mr. Angle, sponsored many activities including educational movies, publications, forums and de- bates which presented anti-racist sentiments to large groups of students, staff members, and the community. The club enjoyed picnics and guest speakers of various races and cultures. For example, they in- vited a Hispanic man who was on strike to speak out about his plight to the club. When the club’s treasurer, Daniel Lucky, was asked what the club stood for, he replied, “The club stands for the fostering of the understand- ing, tolerance, and unity between students of dif- ferent racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.” Middle Right: Look who’s here! - Sponsor John Angle and his gang pose with perfection.

This year’s Sailing Club was larger and less experienced. The club members learned about the parts of the boat besides just the ba- sics—port, starboard, stern, and bow. “We did not just go sailing, we tried to learn as much about the types of boats there are and their parts,” commented the club’s president, Lisa Tillotson. “T think that the Sailing Club is a lot better this year than last. The officers really care about the club. I advise any- one thinking about joining the club that they have to be fun-loving and a little bit crazy,’ admitted the treasurer, Sarah Leslie. With such fund raisers as boat wash- es, car washes, a bake sale, and a candy sale, they plan to go on more sailing trips this summer. | oo d ain?

When asked what interested her in starting the club she said, “my own interests in fashion and wanting to have a club for other people interested in fashion.” The club officers were: Andrea LaFrancois, president; Deane Poe, vice-president; Denae Paiva, secretary; Veronica Baylosis, treasurer; and Ken Manuel and Travis Lockhart, publicity officers.

If so, you should have joined up with the 138 members of the Ski Club. There were no special requirements to join, in fact there were no fund raisers, all it took was a simple $2. This year the club took many one day trips to various places such as Sierra Ski Ranch, Bear Valley, and Kirk- wood. The Ski Club didn’t take any overnight trips due to lack of sponsors. However, Gilbert Dunn commented that “overnight trips are rad.” “The trip to Kirkwood turned out good, the slopes need- ed a little snow, but not a bad place overall,” said Sa- mantha Castronova. For every trip taken to the Lake Tahoe area, the mem- bers had to pay a $14 to $16 fee for the bus trip, not including the lift ticket.

She was also responsible for the administration, the athletic department, and was instrumental in starting the Oak Leaf and the advanced placement classes. Dr. Wheelwright got satisfaction from helping the faculty. “I like helping people with contact with chil- dren,” she said. Dr. Wheelwright felt that a good work- ing environment made for a good learning environ- ment. A few things that Dr. Wheelwright thought had real- ly improved were the Homecoming parade, the newspa- per, and the curriculum. She felt one reason for this was the added money the school received. She also thought that students helped, “I think that the students are highly dedicated,” said Dr. Wheelwright. Dr. Wheelwright liked her job, and commented that, “T like the contact with people very much.” When she isn’t in school or doing school related activities, Dr. Wheelwright finds time in her busy schedule to read, or see an occasional movie. Recently she has enjoyed see- ing such movies as “Splash” and “Witness’’. She lists two of her favorite books as being The Scarlet Letter and Moby Dick.

Dedication “We are committed to trying to improve communication with parents and students,” said Mrs. Arlene Hoshi, counselor. In order to improve communications, coun- selors have set up a financial aid workshop, sent out junior letters, instituted sophomore counseling, and administered more career counseling than ever before. Speaking of the new credit requirement for freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, Mr. Rob- ert Bartley said, “The additional requirements will be tough on you guys.” He felt that if students had their futures decided, it would be easier. “A lot of students haven’t decided their future.” he said. The counselors felt that the additional career and sophomore counseling will help students decide their future through. The counselors also tried to publicize their events more. They felt that these changes would help the counseling department and the communication with parents and students.

Ms. White previously taught at Skyline High. “I was very pleased with quality of teach- ers we were able to hire.” said Dr. Gretchen Wheelwright, our principal. New Teachers 79 They Return “There are over four hundred new stu- dents this year,” explained Dr. Wheelw- right to the parents in her opening speech at Back to School Night. “Back to School Night is mainly a tradition,” she said, “but it is also a chance for parents to meet the teachers.” Following their child’s schedule, parents went from one classroom to the next. In the classrooms, teachers spoke about goals of the class and their expectation of the stu- dents. Right: Who? - Ricky Keiser and Sarah Spiersch try to find the schedule of a student.

CROW Back To School Night 81 Future Worlds “These people really know what they’re talking about,” said Counselor John Maiers of the respresentatives from colleges and universities who attended College Night. Some of the schools which had representatives there were UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, West Point and Brown. There was a tremendous amount of information shared that night concerning students’ GPA, college costs, applying and other requirements for college. “College Night really helped me decide about my future. I am glad I came,” replied Gilbert Lucero, senior. Similar replies could be heard throughout the media center as stu- dents made tremendously important decisions concerning their college careers.

The Close-Up group this year led quite an eventful year raising funds. Before ever stepping onto a plane, the students put on a political reception and sponsored a play. They managed to raise close to $1500 be- fore their trip. Once in Washington D.C. it was “so rad,” remembered Jessica Gommel. It was more than fun however, “Students are up from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. working hard the whole time; free time is scarce,” re- called Gary Haberberger, the club sponsor. . 7 Above right: Washington will never be the same - The 1986 Alameda High Close-Up group.

To keep track of everything, every book had a code as did every student, which were entered into the computer system. “It will help us keep in touch with what the students borrowed,” said Ms. Anne Beckman, library clerk. Twenty four students took media center aide as a graded class while learning study skills. “The library could not run without them,” said Ms. Winzenread.

The PTSA, Parent-Teacher-Student As- sociation, was led by Co-Presidents Jan Toepfer and Lola Brown. According to Jan Toepfer, the emphasis this year was on “communication, mainly between the home and the school.” With the help of the other officers, Sue Bunker, Cathy Folsom, Laura and Diane LeMoine, Barbara Capon, and Linda Gremminger, this group of con- cerned parents were able to raise two $250 scholarships for the career- oriented stu- dent, as well as organizing a seminar on Teen Pregnancy. The Academic Boosters were more con- cerned with supplementing the things the school cannot buy. A successful phone-a- thon raised over $1,000 dollars for a new Eureka computer program, and Presidents Judy Jacobs and Sue Friestroffer, along with Treasurer Secretary Betsy Gammell, enlisted the aid of parents to buy lights for the drama department, new economic books, and microscopes for the science lab. The Athletic Supporters, headed by Sheila Doan and Nancy Mullen, also ac- complished many fundraisers to support the athletics department through uniforms and equipment. Some of the fundraisers in- cluded bingo nights, a wine tasting, oper- ation of concession stands at football and basketball games, and the sale of hats and jackets. Athletics that have received sup- port were the swim team, golf, football, bas- ketball, and baseball teams. Helping Sheila Doan and Nancy Mullen were Sam Wales, Deanie Kenyon, Robert Mullen, Darlene Pharr, and 15 Board Members.

Headed by President Gig Codiga and Vice-President Sandra Moser, the five-member board with one student representative met regu- larly with Superintendent John Searles and Staff. A major concern of the Alameda Unified School District was the budget this year. Already a touchy subject, it was made even more so when each school’s decentralized budget was cut by twenty-five percent. However, two lottery appor- tionments in January and in April brought in close to $680,000 for the school district, and other sources of the revenue also helped to balance the budget.

Leadership Earl Nethercutt “It’s been challenging, but I don’t think I would have worked at it this long had I not enjoyed it,” said Mr. Earl Nethercutt of his teaching career. Mr. Nethercutt, math department chair, said that he got a great deal of satisfaction working with teenagers. “I enjoy them, they’re our future. They come as freshmen, then ma- ture into young adults,” he said. To explain why he has taught for so long, he commented, “Working with young people in the same age group who never age is one reason I like teaching.” “I love to be part of the discovery that students make, when they make the connections, and discover who they are,” said Ms. Fran Claggett, English department chair. Ms. Claggett said, “The most dramatic change since the late 60’s to the early 70’s, is the change in students’ interests in social and political issues and activities. Today, they are more interested in grades, test scores, and college.

Mr. Fredgren, a strong believer in student par- ticipation in school, said students have to learn how to think for themselves and how to schedule their time. “Today’s students are more preoccu- pied with other things than going to school, such as television. Twenty years ago, school was a big- ger thing,” he commented. Mr. Fredgren stated, “We are reaching a vast majority of people with education. We are one of the few countries to do this.” Robert Lochner Mr. Robert Lochner said that when students learn a subject at school they also learn about life. He was the history department chair and has taught for 20 years. “T enjoy seeing my former students. It’s nice to know that I had a small effect on the way they are,” he said. Susan Soria T.V.

She said that the secretarial staff really liked the contact with people. They felt that the students here were very pleasant to communicate with. “The kids here really helped us,” said head janitor Lou Zobb, speaking of the student clean-up program. The janitors really appreciated the students’ help. Be- sides cleaning up, the janitorial staff had other activi- ties this year. Some of the activities included setting up for Special Olympic practices and handling guest passes to the school. “Most kids appreciate the work we do,” said Sharon Sherak manager of the workers in the cafeteria. She felt that the students who ate their meals frequently in the cafeteria realized the hard work that went into the meals served Top right: The 1985-86 Janitoral staff: Back row: Mary Lee Griggs, Michael Wharton, Katheryn Brandon, Kathy Joiner, and Bill Eaton; Front row: Wan Jacobo, Larry Smith and Lou Zobb.

Lance’s interest in television production be- gan early in his sophomore year when he met Regional Occupational Program in- structor Ms. Susan Soria. Since then, he has joined the ROP Television Production class, become a second year student, and worked at San Francisco’s KRON Channel 4 television station. His hands-on experience with television equipment coupled with his knowledge of the theories of editing enables him to say, “There’s more to T.V. than just moving a cam- era.” Lance’s biggest compliment came from the Producer of KRON’s Home Turf, a show about teenagers, who claimed that Lance was doing work bet- ter than some of the graduates of San Francisco State University. Although the projects Lance worked on this past year include directing and producing his own music videos, he hopes to someday produce and direct films.

Lan Morales Aaron Morris Christopher Morten Teresa Morten 106 Seniors Senior Sylvia Gibson called her stay in Germany “a great learning experience.” As an ex- change student in Hamburg in her Junior year, Sylvia came back to Alameda with more confidence in herself. “Before, in Alameda, people made deci- sions for me. But when I was there, I was forced to be inde- pendent.” Sylvia joined the school swim team, and went dancing regu- larly with her new friends. One of the things she missed most from Germany was just sitting around and talking, something common with high school stu- dents there. “Social drinking was really neat. The drinking age was 16, so we often sat around with candles and a bot- tle of wine and just talked.” Un- like many American teenagers, German students disliked and looked down on those who get drunk. “Quarters” was consid- ered a stupid game, and drunk driving was rare. One high- light of Sylvia’s trip was teach- ing her host-family how to make tacos. “Oh yeah, I was homesick, that never really goes away. But if I had another chance, I’d go in a second!” Monica Mowery Colleen Muhly Ismael Munoz Keith Murray Shannon Murray William Murray Vincent Murray, Jr. Annette Nanninzzi Gina Needle Chris Nelson Rick Nelson Keng Nhieu Donald Nodora Maureen Nohra Kevin Odom Ivan Olds Kristin Oleson Todd Oliver Deega Omar Reza Omran Seniors 107 Michelle Park Dan Patakas John Paulus Cynthia Pearson Shirley Perata Roland Phillips Carida Pickens Rowena Pineda Matt Pisor Batu Plasch Deayn Poe Jerry Polk Nerissa Pon Steve Pon Joseph Prado Gregory Pritchard Tammy Pullen Mark Quinata Matthew Ramirez Arlene Ramos 108 Seniors Mamun Rashid Susan Reed Fritz Renema James Richard Joy Ridout Martin Rinne Heidi Ritterby Anne Robie Norman Robinson Scott Robinson Heather Rogers Anthony Roque Al Rosette Craig Rumrill Alexander Ryan Scott Salinas Aren’t you hungry? - Senior Rowell Bernardo shows Laur- ence Kim just how hungry he really is at the 3rd Annual Class of 1986 Spaghetti Feed.

The group was also entertained by fellow classmate and singer, Susie Brown. “I met people there whom I never knew before.

The fall officers and Ad-board members worked hard to plan and carry out many activities during their terms. The Seniors showed that “Life’s A Beach” by winning first place in the overall competi- tion during Spirit Week. The officers held a very successful spaghetti feed dinner and orga- nized a Christmas carolling trip. Nicole Car- roll, fall president, commented that, “We've worked hard for the past four years in order to have the best activities possible.” Ms. Jennifer Masek and Mr. Robert Lochner were their dedicated advisors. Mr. Lochner stated that, “It has been very enjoy- able working with this Senior Class and we will miss their hard work and energy.” Alto- gether, this group has shined as representa- tives of the Class of 86!

The word can only describe one AHS class, the class of °86. “I feel that the Senior Class is unified and I hope that other classes look up to us. We are high achievers academically and in extra curricular activities. We're one of the better classes that have come around in a while,” remarked Secretary Mau- reen Nohra. She added, “I hope that more seniors will get involved and par- take in the activities that will be coming up. | get really happy when I see the seniors together.” The seniors began the riotous semes- ter by sponsoring a Heart to Heart Com- puter Match Up, which was a fun way for students to find out who they would be most compatible with. On February 28, the seniors hosted the first school dance of the new year which was attend- ed by many students. Although there was a lack of partici- a 7 pation at class meetings (with only an average of 20 people per week), the spring activities were well attended. Over 200 seniors attended the Senior Banquet and even more students went to the Senior Ball and the Senior Picnic, both held late in May. It took four years but it was time for the seniors to go on their way out into the wide, wild world. June turned into the days for one last hurrah but it won't be the last. As one small door was closing a much bigger one was opening. This was not a time to cry but a time for hand- shakes and hugs. The class of °86 will never be forgotten and its members won't forget each other but merely go their separate ways for a few years till they meet again. Robert Lochner, class co-sponsor, could only say,“They have overcome all the odds and should be con- sidered number one.” One Last Hurrah Senior Class Spring Officers 115 Above: Melissa LaFollette - “I’m just a nice, yet pressured, normal person who works hard to get where I am,” said the valedictorian of 1986. Melissa was involved in tennis, soccer, CROW, Keywanettes, CSF, and other activities. She was not sure of her future, but hoped to work with peo- ple, “Maybe psychology.” Above: Sandra Wong - “It makes me feel like I got something valuable out of high school that I'll always remember,” said the salutatorian of 1986. Sandra was a two time class officer and was involved in var- ious Club activities such as CSF, and Asian Club. She wanted to major in business ad- ministration and to attend Stanford Uni- versity. A bove: Raymond Magtibay - “I’m flattered and glad I’m within this elite group,” said Raymond, the Bank of America Achieve- ments Representative in Applied Arts. Raymond, a clerk at the Alameda Naval Station, hoped to major in computer or po- litical science and attend UC Berkeley. Right: Laura Toepfer - “I don’t see how it makes much difference ... I’m still the same person if I’m number 11 or number 128,” said Laura about Top Ten. She was involved in CROW, CSF, and the Bay Area Wind Symphony where she played the flute. She hoped to complete double majors in Music and English and maybe teach afterwards Right: - Eiline Lee - “It’s all right,” gig- gled Eiline when asked about her feel- ing about being in Top Ten.

Juniors Juniors 127 Almost There “Our goal for the first semester was to raise at least $1,000, continue our winning streak with class competitions, and bring together as many juniors as possible to help unite our class,” remarked fall Junior Class President Shannon Knepper when asked about the junior class. The Juniors started the year off with a bang by winning the Homecoming Week festivities. Their float was made to repre- sent a huge bee hive and it was the best. For Spirit Week the Juniors went “Fairytale”. They dressed as childhood characters such as Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, and Sean Porter’s now immortalized wicked witch. Fund raisers? Yes, the Juniors had them—in fact, a myriad of successful ones. The second annual Mexican Fiesta proved to be profitable. Just before the Christmas break the cla ss sold Christmas Grams (a red rose accompanied by a candy cane). Ad-Board member Lynn Horrisberger was able to look to the future with her hopes for the Junior Class this spring. “I hope we get people interested in helping out with fundraisers but most of all, the Junior Prom.” Babe in arms - Junior Class fall officers.

Juniors 135 Almost There President and Vice-President Debbie Brown and Lynn Horrisberger were the driving forces behind the Junior Class this spring as the class of ’87 planned for a very successful Junior Prom. The Prom was held on the night of March 14th at the Califor- nia Hotel and Ballroom in Oakland. According to Spring Ad-Board member Colleen Clark, this was a semester of hard work. “I hope we can get more people to participate in the school activities. I can definitely say that I have only the brightest hopes for the Junior Class this spring.” It had taken the Juniors three years to get ready but they were almost at the pinna- cle of their high school career. “I personally think the Junior Class is great! There are a lot of people out there who are willing to help, they just need to get more involved,” said Vice-President Lynn Horrisberger. She continued, “Our class contains a lot of leaders and through them I feel we will establish the most memorable times as the Class of °87.” Phe 1986 Spring Junior Class Officers - Lynn Horris- berger, vice-president, Colleen Clark, ad-board; San- dra Brophy, secretary; Erin Lininger, ad-board; Deb- bie Brown, president; Alisa Moraes, ad-board; Absent from picture are Greg Curtis, ad-board and Elisa Ja- cobs, treasurer David Wendling Joseph Wilkiemeyer Ronda Wilcox Debbie Winchester Valerie Wire Dennis Wong Donald Wong Tim Wong Vikki Wong John Wood Tracy Wright Kim Wroebel Gary Yazolino Cris Yeager Nancy Young Allison Yeung 136 Juniors Juniors Sparkle “For Just A Moment”’ It was only 8 o’clock in the morning, but panic had already begun to set it. The roses had to be wrapped, the balloons inflated, and the tiarra polished. Then there were bids to sell, the helium tank to pick up, and the ballroom to decorate. The Junior Class officers looked at each other in despair. “There is no way we can get it all done!!”” they moaned. Yet task by task things fell into place, until out of the tumult rose the night of nights ... the Junior Prom. ““We were the best - I think we’ll ever be, just you and me - for just a moment.” The lights were dimmed and the dance began, each moment bring- ing the arrival of more couples in formal attire to the California Ballroom. Debonaire gentlemen in tuxedos led ladies to the dance floor, where the excitement flashed like bolts of electricity. The music played on, while couples and groups of friends alternated between socializing, dancing, and getting refreshments. It was a reluctant group of happy students who filled the dance floor to play out the last act of the enchanting evening. The success of the prom included not only the dance, but also the income it brought the Junior Class. Bids alone grossed a startling $4,500, and the total profit from the dance was over $2,500. Another factor that contributed to the sense of achievement was the introduction of a new kind of prom court—based on personality and class participation. 4 mas Top left: Say cheese royalty! - Sean Porter and Shannon Knepper, newly crowned King and Queen take their first “official portrait” together.

Sophomores displayed a lot of school spirit during Spirit Week with the theme “Through the Decades”. They had the most outstanding hallway and some people thought it was just walking through time and that’s just what they had hoped for. They came in second place in the spirit skit and third place overall in the week-long competition. “To be or not to be great?” The Sopho- mores truly were.

I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life...” If you were in the gym on Dec. 6th you could hear Phil Collins’ words resounding off the walls. The theme of the 1985 Soph Hop was “In the Air To- night” and the decorations gave a feeling of festivity. The Soph Hop is Alameda High’s version of a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls pay for everything (supposedly!). Most couples preferred to stay in Alameda for a romantic dinner before heading for the enchanting gym, but some people got ritzy and whisked off to San Francisco in a limousine for a festive meal. A marriage booth helped Alameda lead the country with the marriage rate that evening. Many couples got married by “Rev- erend Robert Rodd” who was glad to give out rings, marriage licences, and even play a sappy rendition of the Wedding March. After the nuptials, any lucky couple could get their pictures taken by a professional photographer for very reason- able prices. etetegen eat Be er ee - : mw Above left: The look of love? - Tesha Holt and Robert Griffith strolling around the gym.

Say the word to someone and you'll get a variety of responses ranging from the building blocks of a school to the wallflowers. This year’s freshmen proved to be nothing but the best. Under the leadership of fall president Rick Keiser, the freshmen quickly began fund raisers, the first being a stuffed animal sale. This was followed by the sale of Aus- tralian Lead Crystal. The frosh also showed an abundance of school spirit during Spirit Week. They went fishing for a victory but their lines came up short and they finished in fourth place; however, they were determined to do better in the years ahead.

Looking forward to a new slate of officers (with the exception of Ray Kang, vice-president), the freshmen planned to host an ice cream so- cial sometime in the late spring. They had high hopes for their spring semester and planned to at least triple the $300 that they profited in the fall. It was a happy ending to the beginning.

Students in that class were exactly that, students. They had reading, writing, and math lessons, as well as lessons in health, safety, and grooming. In addition, jobs outside of the classroom at loca- tion sites throughout Alameda trained students in many other vocational skills, along with those in communication. Many of the students also partici- pated in Special Olympics, an athletic organization outside of school. Blair Cassani, with the help of Nancy Cussary, Arlene Goodwin, and Maliko De Lackner, and Denise Ratto with Florence Pope and Shannon Roberts, encouraged students to rely on themselves rather than on others throughout their lives.

The Hornet offensive team was led by several key players: Ken Gamble, Dimitri Hrovat, Rowell Ber- nardo, Scott Slez, Gerald Jones, Paul Seeley, Joe DeFranco, Kevin Mossholder, Ed Fuentes, John Harris. Coach Dan Reynolds said, “The offense can do anything due to the offensive line.” The Hornets defense was not led by any one play- er but was an overall team effort. “One week it’s one guy, next week it’s another. We keep people out of the end zone, even though we may give up yards,” said Coach Reynolds. The team did some off season training by lifting weights; the overall average increase was fifty pounds. The coaches felt it was a key factor. “Now we can push other people instead of being pushed around,” said Reynolds. With the help of excellent coaches Dan Reynolds, Andy Falls, Don Murray, Kevin Hennessee, and Mar k Dorfman, the Hornets played a fabulous sea- son.

The Soph-Frosh football team, under Head Coach Steve Yamasaki, had a solid year. Several good players were developed for the Junior Varsity and Varsity teams. Of- fensively, the players included quarterback Craig Martinez, whom Head Coach Yama- saki considered as the “leader on the of- fense,” and wide receiver James Simon, whom Yamasaki felt “has the potential to score on every play.” The defensive players included Dirk Thieme, whom Coach Ya- masaki acknowledged as “the one who al- ways comes up with the big plays,” and Chuck Donahue, whom the coach valued as the “strength of the running defense.” Oth- er key players were: Larry Wadford, Mike Ross, Todd Best, Scott Cahill, Jason Le- Moine, and Tommy Sieu.

Unfortunately, however, the team didn’t. What started out as a bumpy pre-season eventually got worse as injuries early in the season plagued the team. It continued to be a problem for Coach Roy Ching and Assis- tant Coach Beth Anderson. Both coaches, new to Alameda High, enjoyed working with the team, however. Coach Roy Ching called it “tan experience” to work with the Varsity team. Spectator Dana Danbon exclaimed sur- prisingly that “the team had a lot of spirit.” Despite their record, players made posters for every game and were the only sports team to participate in the Homecoming pa- rade. “Maybe we didn’t do it this year,” said Coach Ching, “but I expect the trend to change.

Coach Ching said, “The goals of this year’s team are to win and to learn the correct fundamentals of volleyball.’ With five freshmen and one junior the team was very inexpe- rienced. Leading the team this year was junior captain Kathy Madaras, who helped coaches Ching and Anderson with the development of the freshmen.

Coach Yamasaki also credited excellent reserve players for the team’s success. “I was not afraid to use any of my reserve players in any game or situation this year,” he said.

Hornets Grab Fifth Place Prick: epg ewan pS At North Coast to a victorious season. At the exciting North Coast Invitational tour- nament in November the team lost only once, to take Sth place out of 16 teams. Although performing exceptionally well dur- ing league play, the Hornets had to settle for third place in their league due to the loss of an excruci- ating battle of skills with Pinole Valley. Richard Jarratt, one of the team’s prime weapons was out of the game with a hand injury, and Coach Rob- ert Rodd praised his team for pulling together to cover for the missing player. After the tourna- ment, co-captains Tim Harrison and Richard Jarratt were unanimously awared All-League honors, while Fred Whatley and Terry Flock re- ceived honorable mentions. Coach Rodd was extremely proud of the Hor- nets’ ability to work together, especially in the team’s first clash with rival Pinole Valley early in the season. During the final minutes of play, the team pulled together to come from behind and win 12-11. Senior Ted Haugner commented that “It was definately our best game. Everyone put in their 110 percent. It worked!!” Below: A picture paints a thousand words: Ted Haugner fires the ball to a teammate to the dismay of this Berkeley opponents. Coach Rodd prides himself on having been a part of the teamwork that made this year a suc- cess.

Even with this large a number of players, everybody got to play. Coach Fairfield summed it up by say- ing, “I had a lot of fun working with these girls. They all had different per- sonalities.

Jenny Thomas and Marc Morales, the team’s top runners, have both been running for four years. “It’s a good team. Hopefully in years to come it will get bet- ter,” said Marc Morales, a first year team member. Jenny Thomas’ greatest influence was Coach Maiers, who always encouraged her to do her best. Her idol was Zola Budd because, like Budd, Jenny runs barefoot. “It’s faster and I’ve always run that way!” said Thomas. Julie Kunath, a second year team member, said “Well, it is a very exciting year. We have a very intelli- gent and talented coach.” With only one senior, Jenny Thomas, two juniors, Brendan Moorehead and Valerie Wire, seven sopho- mores, Steve Archini, Simon Bellamy, Samantha Cas- tronova, Julie Kunath, Marc Morales, George Sousa, and Adrienne Thompson, and one freshman, Paul Liv- ers, Coach Maiers expected high results.

The Hornets were favored to win league play in a preseason coaches poll, and Coach Douglas believed it. “We are going to win.” he said. “I teach my guys to play H.A.T. - Hard, Agres- sive, and Tough. It’s the only way.” Coach Douglas spoke of raw talent being the Hor- nets’ main advantage, while being too competitive seems to be a downfall. Overall, there is a family feeling to the team, “including the family squabbles!” laughed the coach. Despite injuries and several counts of the flu, Doug- las praised his team’s performance. “The players have the talent,” he said. “I’m just here to help bring it out.” Kevin Sato, senior forward groaned, “Yea, I'll say he helps bring it out - for three hours after school!!”’ Looking forward to next year, the coach will rely ona strong group of JV players to move up, and returning letterman Eric Martinez, Kent Doan, and Derek Tan- ner to be the hub of the 1987 team.

They leaped off the line, slam-dunked their opponents and strove for a successful year. The Hornets played inconsistently dur- ing pre-season with a promising record. With the help of Head Coach Brad Thom- as, they tried to improve last year’s offen- sive pattern and defensive strategies, and began to play to their potential. “To me, Julie Clark is the leading scorer on the team along with Joy Rideout, and Shannon Payne’, said teammate Lisa Barnett.

As the only returning member to the women’s JV basketball team, hoopster Shanna Soderlund had great expectations for the year. With fifteen first year high school players, Soderlund felt that the team had enough previous experience from grammar school play to defend their ACAL championship title, and in doing so, to play one hundred percent. Teammate Dana Murray agreed that they were ex- pected by Coach George Zaragosa to cap- ture the league title. This young team did not win many of their preseason games on the scoreboard, but they won by gaining experience. Murray felt that they improved each game by “working as a team”. The JV players hoped to develop their playing skills and are bidding for spots on next year’s varsity team where only one spot will be vacated by senior Joy Ridout.

Although the team was a young and inex- perienced one, Ruiz considered the year to be a learning experience. He didn’t put the goal “in terms of games won or games lost, but upon improving on the fundamentals to become sound,” said Coach Ruiz. The freshman team improved each game throughout the season and Ruiz groomed the members of the team and gave them the experience they needed to move up to the JV team next year. Ruiz hoped to see at least twelve of this year’s frosh players re- turn next year to represent the Hornets on the courts. Upper left: Watch this! - Josh Perry and team- mates in practice.

Though Coach Yamasaki expected strong pitching, he counted on batting from returning 1985 JV team members Matt Fenk, Ryan Jensen, Sean Porter, and Matt Mullen.

The team, coached by John Maiers, planned to be innundated by new members for the year. Some returning members included Peter Nguyen, Don Carpenter, David Paiva, Chris Thomas, and Jenny Thomas. When asked the most important thing learned from the sport, David Paiva said, “How to be a team member in an individual sport, and rooting teammates on, and coaching have taught me that to be a better team, we have to work together.” When asked the same question, Peter Nguyen said patience was the most important thing he learned from track. He also said, “One cannot get anywhere in this world without it.” Far right: Come to you in open arms - Peter Nguyen greets the upcoming track season with enthusiasm Right: Coach, how many more? - Damon Haber, Nelson Soohoo, and David Tedrick plead their case to Coach Maiers.

Presentation 41 Track 195 Fish Minus Pond When we think of the word teamwork, our minds usually conjur up images of football huddles, conferences between bas- ketball players and coaches, and game plans on a chalk board. After all these images have passed, there may be a team sport we have overlooked - swimming. Even though each person races the clock individually, everyone plays a part in overall team performance. “The guys inspire each other by their own person- al successes.” said Coach Robert Rodd. A big handicap in the 1986 season was the rebuilding of the Alameda Swim Center. The team lost valuable morning prac- tice time, and had to use the pool at the Alameda Naval Air Station for their afternoon workout. Yet overall, Coach Rodd saw the reconstruction as a positive thing. Besides gaining a better facility for the future, it also marked a commitment by the community toward swimming. Although disappointed by the amount of excitement swim meets gathered compared to other sports, Coach Rodd was generally impressed by the press coverage he and his team received. “Swimming is a visually exciting sport that everyone should have a chance to watch. Of course our meets do draw 7 Vi tk. We more of a crowd when the girls swim with us...” he joked. : SS The Hornets were favored to capture their league title, and 19 ig ; are ' Dee og ee “le me fi Coach Rodd set high goals for returning letterman such as Tim [U3 if ‘ Harrison, Ted Haugner, Richard Jarratt, and Terry Flock. He — 4 = felt that Flock was capable of breaking the backstroke record. Also exciting to Mr. Rodd was the entrance of Per Trane, an exchange student from Sweden who he called his “unknown quantity”. But besides winning, Coach Rodd stressed sports- manship to his team and insisted on quality swimming. “I de- mand that my swimmers give me their best. If they do, I’ll give them everything I’ve got to help them achieve their personal goals.” he said. “To be a success in swimming,” said Rodd, “you have to approach it with the right attitude. Each guy has to find his own niche and be willing to work. Swimming is a unique sport be- cause you are constantly trying to out do yourself. It’s a really personal competition.” —=S . — Above Right: Words of wisdom - Coach Rodd instructs the team at a workout. Above: Record Bound - Terry Flock strives to shatter the backstroke record.

Her high hopes epitomized the team spirit of taking the ACAL. Even without a true home, the Alameda swim team over- came such difficulties. The talented Women’s Swim team made serious considerations to capture the ACAL for the third consecutive year.

The tennis team overcame the lost of last years graduates, and came up with an ex- ceptional group. Some players returning for another year of tennis included John Car- nahan, Scott Salinas, Mark Scates and Mark Finberg. Junior Mark Finberg, who planned to play around the top five, said “self confi- dence,” was the most important thing he learned from tennis. He also said “it takes a lot of hard work. I practice 2% hours a day.’ When asked about the Men’s tennis team winning the ACAL Mark said, “We really have a good chance of winning.” During tryouts, competition was real tough. Only carrying 15 players, Coach Dave Fairfield had to make several tough choices. Mark Finberg described the tryouts as “good competition.” Left: Taking it easy - Dennis Wong breaking up with no sweat Below left: The Tennis Studs - The 1986 Varsi- ty tennis team.

Is it fun? - Yes if you like the waterslides, picnics, Broadway plays, and mystery trips. Is it work? - Yes. Job’s Daughters work at their ritual work, and participate in such fundraisers as car washes, paper drives, and Hawaiian Dances. Does it teach? - Yes. Love of God, love of country, and especially love of parent and guardian. Job’s Daughters offers opportunities for young wom- en to develop confidence, good character, moral values, and life-long friendships. Bethel meetings are like any other organization, they conduct business, receive petitions for new members, hear reports from committees, and a ways take time out for lots of laughter. Job’s Daughters offers the opportunity to learn to sing, to compete in speaking or art contests, and to generally get to know girls from your community bet- ter. At the bethel meetings, white “grecian” style robes are worn as in the time of Job. The simple robe is worn by all the girls, and signifies that it’s not what’s outside that counts, but what's inside that is special.

Hoy he Focusing On Unlike any other class, yearbook began early in the summer, with camp for the edi- tor and workshops and planning sessions for the rest of the staff. As all editor’s do, I would like to think that this year’s staff was a little more special than the previous years’. Of course there were the usual prob- lems and pressures with photography and deadlines, but the staff always managed to pull through. The diverse personality of this staff often made me wonder how they managed to work together. For instance, we had the straight “A” students, the class officers, a past pom-pon girl, some athletes, an artist, a computer whiz to name just a few. I think perhaps by the end of the year, everyone finally understood the true meaning of the word “teamwork,” for that’s what year- Teamwork book really was. Everyone found out that a page wasn’t any good with just a layout and no pictures, a picture wasn’t any good with- out captions, and captions weren’t any good without someone to help type it. We all discovered that we were in this together, and if one person failed, the whole group failed. And on the other hand, if one page was successful, everyone took part in that success. To all those who unfortunately had to drop yearbook, I was sorry to see you go. Your contributions to this class were much appreciated. To all those who faithfully re- mained - Bless you! You guys were what made this happen - this baby is yours! Enjoy it and be proud, for it definitely was a job well done. -Dora Leong, Editor Yearbook Staff 239 240 Dedication Dedicated to: MONIQUE JONES November As the school year comes to an end, many of us will reflect on the past year and reminisce over both the good and the bad times. What makes this year special? Why the focus on Alameda High? One unifying force this year has been Senior Monique Jones. Doc- tors told Monique she had a curea- ble type of abdominal cancer in mid-September. Since then, she has been in and out of Stanford University Medical Center, having the tumor re- moved, going through chemotherapy, and combat- ing pneumonia. By mid-March, however, the doc- tors determined that the cancer was terminal. Support for Monique came from everywhere. She received many flowers, cards, and gifts of all sorts; some came from people who had never met her per- sonally. The response to Moniques’s illness resulted in sufficient funds for her trip to Hawaii, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation organized a visit for her with Rick Springfield. Monique herself planned a potluck, themed “Celebrate Life,” and personally made out the guest 1968 - March 1986 list. Her courage and her strength in accepting her condition made her remarkable. A year ago, Monique participat- ed in the Coastal Classic, a six- day, 400-mile bike trek from Oak- land to Santa Barbara, to help raise funds for the American Lung Association. In a postcard to a friend, she stated “‘the road must go on” even if the trip was so tiring. And that is the attitude she kept throughout her illness. Even though Monique couldn’t continue with her classes at Alameda High, she accumulated enough credits to receive her high school diploma at her “Celebrate Life” potluck, and became the first gra- duate of the Class of 1986. The Foundation For Educational Excellence (FEE) also presented in her honor a $200 donation in her name to CROW and the Oak Leaf. This year’s yearbook staff by a unanimous vote dedicates the 1985-86 Acorn to Monique Jones. Her message to us all is to “Celebrate Life to the fullest.” The 1985-86 Acorn staff would like to thank all faculty members who put up with staffers during deadlines, but a special thanks to: Anne Beckman Ed Bordanaro Norma Fischer Karen Keegan Robert Lochner Penelope Madison Beverly Royer Don Sherratt Stan Wyne Play Production All Spring Coaches Johanna Winzenread
