Smile bright - Kim Thomas, Karolyn Smith, Te- resa Duvernay and Leah Tillman say girls just want to have fun. In a trance - Inga Blankmeyer under hallway hypnosis. The focus was definitely on AHS this year. Whether positive or negative, AHS received much attention from students and from the community. 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.
