As the gym doors opened, freshmen streamed inside, rush- ing madly to look at the advisory assign- ments posted on the wall. For amoment, even | felt as disorient- ed as a foreigner in the midst of a multi- tude of new faces eager for discovery. The orientation on August 31, 1988 began with the introduction of the prin- cipal, vice principals, class officers, and counselors. Mr. David Eliaser, our new vice principal, was also introduced. “| haven't seen the whole school my- self, so I'll be touring with you,” Eliaser admitted to the freshmen in a friendly manner. In a more customary mode, Rick Keiser, student body president, led the making of “rain’’. Students rubbed their hands together, snapped their fingers, and stomped their feet in attempts to produce a full-fledged rainstorm. Finally, everyone broke into groups “| expect hope!”’ -. te A g 2 Ul according to advisories for the long awaited tour of the campus. Led around by student counsel members and cheer- leaders, freshmen were shown places of interest in Alameda High, such as the telephones, snack bar, and coke ma- chines. Some were even given under- the-counter information about classes, teachers, and locations by their friendly tour guides. The exciting extravaganza ended when students picked up their schedules and took their student body card pic- tures. What more could one ask for? “| expect to pass, | hope!’’ dreamed Matt Ackerman. Other students antici- pated a more fun-filled school career. “Lots of fun and lots of credits,’’ enthu- siased Laura Shaffer. Although their expectations were var- ied, the class of ‘92 as a whole is prom- ised a definitely busy and exciting year. As the freshmen diffused from their tour groups and searched for their friends, many came away looking confi- dent, saving their disorientation for the first day of school.

It was a cold and gloomy morning. Naturally many students had mixed emotions about the beginning of the school year “| want summer to last, no homework, tests, reports,’ said Hope Heller. Clover Mow added ‘The summer is so carefree and now there’s more pressure.”’ Many students had a very long wait for their schedules “It was because people didn’t have the papers filled out properly,’”’ said Ro- berta Kitson who worked in the atten- dence office for fifteen years. She also added that many students were sent home to get the information filled out XN properly “It was very hectic, students screaming and banging on the windows,” said Nan cy Finberg As students congregated in lines, the sun began to come out and most of the students spent the time in line talking to each other. The reality of another new school year was just sinking in ‘| was really nervous going back to school and seeing all of my old friends,” said Bessie Glossenger ‘It was the first time | ever picked up my schedule,” said Holly Kittleman. ‘| have al ways been out of town on pick-up day, and I’m a senior.”’ No matter if you got your schedule or not on Schedule Pick-Up Day, school started anyway. Whether it’s just one, two, or three more years to go, the school year like the long wait for schedules, end- ed before you knew it ‘|! want summer to last, no homework, tests, reports.” — Hope Heller Se ec pipes Bic beak a a z 1 are fF {aw eA: % HIE Winning Royalty he enthusiastic voice of Betty Ruark resounded through the whole audiotrium as she an- nounced the Homecoming king and queen of 1988. Students clut- tered and pushed their way to the front to see the crowning,as the elaborate crowd filed the room with yells and whistles as the court smiled for the camera. “Homecoming is very exciting and a chance to bring people closer,” said Lisa Aoyama, a senior member of the Home- coming court. For the Freshman class, the Homecom- ing activities were a whole new expier- ence but the dance brought everyone together as one. The thumping music bounced through the auditorium and ev- eryone danced the night away. From sporting wetsuits, to flashy Hawaiian skirts, the students formed into one cohesive group. The DJ included a Mexican fiesta dance which got everyone screaming, and some students even won T-shirts for their cha-cha. The shortage of chaperones this year was a dramatic set back and almost We are family - Joel Sebastian, Kar- in Ingeman, Mike Burke, and Aimee Rauscher pause for a moment away from the hiper activity to catch a breath. There was much anticipation and excitment at the Homecoming Dance 44 Homecoming caused the Homecoming dance to be cancelled. The thought of the dance be- ing cancelled brought anger out of many students. “| think the teachers should have to do it, it’s only fair,’’ expressed Jen Garfinkle. Teachers felt that it was a huge sacra- fice and shouldn’t be expected of them, espically when they weren’t getting paid. At 10:15 p.m., the Homecoming court was crowned. The court was as follows: Sarah Larson and Justin Herrik, Freshman Prince and Princess; Krista Davey and Eric Coler-Dark, Sophomore Prince and Prin- cess; B.J. Funk and Joe Quinto, Junior Prince and Princess, Mike Ross Senior King and Stacey Graves Senior Queen, court as follows: Jill Friestroffer, Rick Keiser, Lisa Aoyama, Rico Rolleri, Craig Boring, Dana Murray, Liz lsaeff, and James Simon. The king and queen stepped away for amoment to catch their breath after be- ing congratulated by Betty Ruark and hundreds of screaming kids. With all the excitiment coming to an end, the night faded away with many sat- isfying memories.

This spec- tacular event brought sec- retaries from their desks, teachers from their rooms, and united the students in school spirit. For a parade to do all that, you know it had to be something exciting The floats competed to see who came in first. Naturally the seniors won first place, but the surprise of the day was that fresh- men snagged second place. The juniors stumbled in at third place and sopho- mores fourth Since the theme was Alameda in Ha- waii, all the flaots had something to do with Hawaii. Smoking volcanoes, huge, colorful flowers, and little Hawaiian Island scenes were among the delightful sights The day was beautiful for a parade. Even though the morning was rainy, the sun poked through the dreary clouds to ilk § welcome the princes and princesses as they rolled down the streets in Cabriolets, Stingrays, and Mustangs just to name a few. The princesses were dressed in alll their finery. There were sparkling satins, sensational silks, and tremendous taffe- tas Joining in the parade was the Navy Col- or Guard, AHS Flag Drill Team, and the Marching Band “liked all the floats, | thought they were interesting and original. | think maybe the parade could have been longer by in- volving more students,’’ said Norman Ta- kao “| could see a Hawaiian football floating down the street,” said David George, his- tory teacher The parade not only got students out of class early, teachers away from their po- diums, and secretaries away from their desks, but served to united all the people who comprised AHS ‘| could see a Hawaiian football floating down the street.’’— David George Seat hind ee Happy Days - Future actors of America show some spirit to promote their new play, Grease which was staged in April.

HRHB IAN RITUALS t came in the unassuming form of a musical note. A simple black dot on paper, nobody knew of the strange and mysterious powers hidden within. It held the power to motivate people, young and old, to wield their bodies in ways wé never imagined; ways that bog- gled our minds, and often defied the laws of gravity. ‘It’’ was the rythmic ceremoni- al ritual we called dance. From the rain dance to interpretive dance, it kept up our esprit de corps in the midst of the studying, cramming, and sleeping we did in class. It was a way of releasing all the stress and anxiety we ex- perienced during the hundreds of tests we were force-fed throughout the school year. At the first dance of 1989, the Hola Freshmen Dance, one could clearly see exactly how AHS’s students soewed out their stress: through their trademark pat- terns of unusual gyrations. | arrived at the scene at 8:30 p.m., mak- ing sure | was fashionably late to the gala event. A doorway clogged with excited teenagers waving student body cards and money in the air awaited me. | walked nonchalantly through the door- way, paying my fee and flashing an unat- tractive ASB card to the cashier. Surveying the room carefully, | noted the interesting movement of the exodus in the middle of the rubber-covered gym floor. They all seemed to be content with releasing their anxiety by bobbing up and down in an irregular fashion. Linda Su Kim, one of the many gyrating students, de- cided to relax a bit and joined me on the bleachers. “There weren’t as many people as | ex- pected for the first dance, but | still had fun,” stated Kim. “The dee-jays, Music Masters, did a pretty good job in blending the ‘beat’ with the ‘modern,’ making the whole crowd happy.”’ While some preferred the slower, more sedated tone of the ballads, others, like Christina Chan, enjoyed the fast-paced beat of the latest dance mixes to “trip the light fantastic.’ “There’s more versatility in fast danc- ing,” Chan revealed. ‘‘Why stick to one certain style in slow dancing when you can fast dance any way you want?” Indeed, it was evident that nobody really stuck to one certain style. Even slam dancing, a form of entertainment re- served for the more adventurous, sprung up from time to time on various spots of the gym-turned-discotech. Yet all of the students, whether partial to rap or new wave, folk dancing or dirty dancing, were there to fulfill the single task of releasing the everpopular product of studying and work: stress. |, like all of the rest of the crew, found a secret pleasure in stomping the @ $$%%! out of my frustrations. |, too, found out how powerful and alluring the beckoning sounds of music could be in creating the undulating movements of some of the people on the dance floor. Dancing, | realized, gave everyone a chance to dance to their own unique tune. On the dance floor nobody could say that you were dancing incorrectly and take off points. There were no rules. Only the music and you, oblivious to the problems of everyday life. On ly you danc- ing with your own style to your own indi- vidual tune. CO a AI Pere ka TREE A Bouncers? At AHS? - Several slam- dancing men literally ‘bounce’ off of one another at the Hola Freshmen Dance. Slam-dancing was just one of the array of dance steps avail- able at the first dance of the year Am DAN AT THE RACES he bell rang, and in unison | heard my classmates push in their chairs and run out of the class- room in a violent rampage. What for, you ask? | didn’t know, but | was soon to find out. | walked out of my fourth period class and exited out of the main hall. There | saw it. Hoards of people sat on the gray cement school circle, waiting anxiously to experience the up and coming event. It was then that | saw the most terrifying, scarifying sight | have ever seen in my life: beefy football players strutted around the circle wearing the cheerleaders’ uniforms. Just when | thought it was all over, the studette cheerleaders ran out wearing the foot- ball players’ attire performing wild gyra- tions while flexing their throbbing mus- cles. “Didn’‘t you just love the part when the guys wore the skirts?’’ questioned Hope Heller as she turned back around to watch the remainder of the crazy antics. | sat there in total confusion when | saw other people coming out, starting to blow peanuts with a straw and shoving their faces into some unidentified white goop. What for, you ask? For class com- petition points, of course. What got into these people? Under usual conditions, these people were nor- mal, just like you and me; but this thing, which they call ‘rally’, moved them to do things not even Pee Wee Herman would be caught doing. | asked Janice Ma exactly what was going on. Instead of answering my ques- tion, she just exclaimed in total rejoice, “| just love it when people show a lot of spirit for our school!’ There was only one thing | didn’t un- derstand about this rally; it seemed like everyone was having a great time, ex- cept me, of course. As | continued watching this most out of the ordinary event and trying to enjoy my lunch, despite of the ear piercing tune of ‘Don’t Worry, Be Happy”’, | finally realized that this rally was just not for me. Other people may like to wear strange clothes, or watch people do it, and some people might even like to do those crazy stunts. Now come fo think of it, it might be fun. “| just love it when people show a lot of spirit for our school.’ —Janice Ma EMP SEAS AV SESSA Bae ff Le Ff PRS -. ee a 2 FADS FASHIONS andering aimlessly around our campus after school we noticed a variety of different people. We were eager to find out the opinions of our classmates on fads and fashion. We first decided to ask a few people what their favorite music group was. “The Smiths,’’ Scott Dodds replied without hesitation. America Esparza expressed a totally different view and claimed that her fa- vorite group was Gucci Crew. Then we rushed over to get the opin- ion of “Scooter Boy,’ Greg Bruno, as he was putting on his helmet to get home. “| like U2, Buster’s Allstars, and Bad Manners.” We thought it would be important to find out where people liked to shop. We came up with several different answers. Macy’s was Daniela Micocci’s. Nick Hass‘s favorite place to shop was on Haight Street in San Francisco. Then we asked eccentric Amber De Celle where she liked to shop. “| guess at my friends’ houses, and | also make some of my clothes,”’ said De Celle. “| like to shop at some surf shop in San- ta Cruz,”” said Peter Mastora. Not only did people have different opinions on clothing and music but also on cosmetics and skin tones. We asked some students what their favorite lipstick color was and why. “Red, because it makes my face look more more pale and my teeth whiter,’ said Jeanie Mitchell. Karen Toste agreed with Mitchell. When | was a little girl | made pictures and | drew peoples’ lips red in the pic- tures,’’ she exclaimed. However, Elizabeth lsaeff had another opinion. “| like Pink because it’s not bright and it matches my face,”’ she said with a grin. When students were asked whether they prefer their face pale or tanned, we came up with two different answers. “Tanned definately, because it looks healthier,”’ said James Lee, while waiting for his turn to play tennis. On the other hand some people pre- ferred a pale face. “| think a pale face is more attractive, and when |’m thirty years old | won‘t have a raisin face,’’said Karena Acree. Finally, we asked people to define trendy. “Trendy is somethinng a lot of people wear.’ claimed Stacey Wong. “| believe that it is a person that tries to be like everyone else,’’ remarked Amie James. Our curiosity had been filled. After in- terviewing a variety of people on our campus, we found that there wasn’t just one type of fad and fashion for the whole school, but that there were differ- ent types of fads and fashion for differ- ent people. | 2 is “ “ ,, iS % fcos Pet OO REED US et: Disco dancers - Diana Johnston and Michelle Mares show off their snazzy dance clothes Black, white, and red are popu- lar colors, especially black and white horizontal stripes 22 Fads and Fashions i _ AT .

It will sustain you throughout your life To Scott Hesse, this passion takes the form of skateboarding. Hesse is not just another student as AHS, he’s something a little differ- ent—he’s a skater. Skating is one of the few sports which calls for unbelievable stamina, unmatchable courage and utter concewn- tration, which pits skater against environ- ment “It’s fast, it’s a rush. That’s alll can say,’’ he uttered in a stoked fashion Shannon Miner, on the other hand, ex- presses herself through dance. Miner has been dancing for eight years “The best feeling is knowing when you're out there that you're giving up yourself to other people,”’ she said. The long hours of practice have not taken their toll on Miner “When | was younger it was a sacrifice to have to rehearse all the time, but now | love it So much it’s not a sacrifice anymore,”’ Min- er added. So now the weekend has arrived and it has been building up in you all week long. Now’s the time, here’s your chance. So, slip into your wetsuit, grab your deck, tie up your skates, and get your parachute checked— find your true self and you won't go wrong.

We wanted our stinging Hornets to buzz the | Jets out, to show them who was the loud- -. ° S F, est and of course the most spirited. We engaged in Class Competition ev- ery day of the week. Seniors were at the top of the list, usually winning the most points for their class. “| won best nerd costume and | tried to get all my friends to dress up for all the days,” said Jill Freistroffer enthusiastically, when asked how she helped her class be more spirited. Everyone was dressed in those funny looking costumes all having to do with beating the Jets. These outfits ranged from pajamas to nerdwear, as black and blue as a bruise and all the way to gold and white. Monday, we walked in our sleep in pajamas. Nerds invaded our school on Tuesday and we made the Jets sweat on Wednesday. On Thursday, we achieved the almost impossible and bruised the opposing team. Friday, the day of the “Big Game” the Hornets showed there stuff in gold and white. “Nerd day was the best because it was funny to see everyone dress up. It took a lot of guts,’’ giggled Karen Fong. Many people were wondering why we had a Spirit Week. Was it just something someone made up a long time ago and made it an annual event? Of course not! “It shows how spirited our school is and makes the other school look stupid when we all dress in gold and white costumes,” Eva Hageman said. This week showed a lot about our school. By dressing up, we showed that we really enjoyed coming to AHS, and besides, it was fun!! “Nerd day was the best,”” — Karen Fong OP - 180) $B Soe sem esaess cee Ded A ‘lass of ‘89 and | have =2w malconten Oo, this took planning..team Own ae ogether work..leadership!

The annual Senior Banquet was held at His Lordships in Berekely, from 7 p.m. to midnight. The seniors took time out to re- member their four years of high school. The roar of the booming mu- sic sent the dancers into ac- tion. Considering the fact that people expected the food to be tasteless—it surprised many. Dinner was followed by door prizes, including bids for the Senior Ball. Traditionally, this senior event was a “‘stag prom’’. Nowa- days, the banquet is more for- malized. It is a semi-formal gathering of friends remember- 58 Senior Banquet ing the good times. After all the activity with the announcing of the Senior Best, the dance floor was over- whelmed by many thumping feet. The moment that expressed the togetherness of this senior class was the slide show. All the memories from former years brought out the sadness of it all coming to an end. This year’s banquet was ar- ranged by the Senior Student Body, lead by President Jay Ya- lung and Student Body Spirit Leader Stacey Graves. The night ended with hun- dreds of tired feet and many satisfying memories.—by Kristi Marquez Three cheers for seniors - Front row Sarina Firing, Catalina Hurtado, Swati Fanse, and Christine Chin.

College wasn’t the only reason for the exis- tence of academics, though. “Academics are important in order to be able to make informed decisions in the future,’’ said Kirby Lawton. It was generally agreed that AHS offered an academic program sufficient for anyone. “There are opportunities for any self-motivated student to get one of the best educations possi- ble,”’ said CSF (California Scholarship Federation) advisor Mr. John Brooks, “without intelligent education, hu- man beings are destined to repeat past mistakes until they eventually wipe themselves out.’’ And that, is a good reason for doing your home- work.—by Julia Berger Math Analysis is so stimulating - Catalina Hurdato demonstrates a keen interest in her studies.

Night. Ms. Anne Beckman sped to an available parking space just across the street from the school. Mr. Dan Wagner and Mr. David George walked to- gether westbound down Encinal Avenue toward the main office. Saunter- ing through the main corri- dor, one could only imag- ine how hectic the main hall would be after Dr. Gretchen Wheelwright’s introduction in the AHS cafeteria. The time approached 6:55 pm, and the traffic on the m ain pathway leading from the new building to the old building picked up rapidly like the traffic on Interstate 80 to San Francisco during rush- hour. What limited space available in the cafeteria was occupied in no time. Mr. David Eliaser and Ms. Betty Ruark, both vice principals, strolled about the cafeteria escorting guests or just chatting with parents. “Tonight is an opportu- nity for the parents to meet their students’ teachers whom they will be with for the most part,” said Dr. Gretchen Wheelwright with a large smile, wearing her sky- blue suit with a rose-pink tie. The importance of Back to School Night was to “just to meet them (the parents),’’ explained Mr. Jim Cooper, a math in- structor, “To see what they look like. See what questions they have. And| can answer them.” “| think that it is impor- tant that we have the cooperation with the par- ents and the school so we can work together in leading to the kids’ suc- cess,’’ explained Vice Principal Mr. David Eliaser, “Many kids think that the parents meet the teach- ers to sort of ‘gang’ up on them, and that's far from the truth.’ “I’m a bit disappointed that parents don’t show up ... This (open-house) gives the school an op- portunity to show-off, talk personally to the teachers . Ask the teacher how the kid is doing,’’ com- mented Mr. Rudd Gast, father of Denice Gast and Melissa Gast, as he was observing the relatively vacant halls and corri- dors. In contrast, Mr. Jack Hewson, father of Beth Hewson, stated, “| think there is a real good cur- riculum for further pursuits in life, and seems to have a lot of spirit, too.”’ “We are interested in getting parents involved with the activities pro- vided by the Science De- partment,’’ explained Ms. Martha Quenon, “We en- courage the students to become involved with activities related to sci- ence.”’ Considering the situa- tion from the students’ point-of-view, many did tend to get a bit nervous due to the fact that par- ents wanted to see how their ‘faithful’ child was doing in their classes. “| feel comfortable when my teachers say good things about me,” stated Leesa Dodson-Par- tida laughing, ‘‘But, | feel embarrassed because my father’s young, and he looks at all the young teachers.”’ Most parents were left alone to search for their child’s classes like lost souls exploring a confused world. For the parents who were deprived the privilege of meeting the teachers on September 28, 1988, they could only imagine how hectic the halls of AHS were. —by Dana Lamborn a ree renane tthiecn a | | .

It was the harmonious growl that seemed to miraculously appear out of nowhere at 41:40 a.m. From all sides, the noise crept like a slug, leaving a trail of malnour- ished people wherever it went. What was it? Where was it coming from? Who was that masked man? No, the sound was not someone's fifty-inch woofers shattering win- dows as it emitted earth- quake-like sound waves throughout the block. Nor was it the radiation siren going off in the cafeteria. The culprit: hunger. It’s a normal condition which everyone exper- iences usually between 44:30 and 12 p.m., with symptoms including a glazed look in the eyes, a pale-faced dumbfound- ed expression, and a se- vere craving for that abandoned piece of toast that you never did eat for breakfast. Luckily, this condition is usually curable by any ed- ible item, except cafete- ria food. But, one may ask, how do you adminis- ter the cure? Well, some do it, that is ‘eat,’ in the cafeteria, others go out, but! do it in the circle. You know, that large slab of round con- crete in the middle of the campus that resembles the site for a virgin sacri- fice? Sitting on the back half of the circle with its cres- cent shaped cement benches, small groups of people sat side by side like pigeons on a ftele- phone wire. Finding all seats full, Carmen Leong relaxed on the pebbley floor with a croissant the size of a small frisbee. “Ninety-four bucks for the four of us,’’ Leong an- nounced. “| can’t believe | might go to the World Series.’ Waiting to hear more details, my attention was diverted when others joined the lunchtime crew. Jeff DeWolf satisfied his appetite by eating a tur- key sandwich from Dimi- tri‘s, the local deli, and an entire bag of pretzels. “Growing boys need lots of food,’’ he said, throwing out his chest in an exaggerated fashion. While some students liked to relieve their hun- ger at the circle, others, like Jade Tai and Rachel Loui, preferred the old buil ding, the former class of ninety hall which once teemed with sopho- mores. “It’s great,” Tai stated enthusiastically. “Even though it was nice having everyone in the same building, privacy has its benefits.”’ ‘‘And you can have food fights whenever you want,” Loui revealed. Alas, the lunch period lasted a mere forty min- utes, But at least the pain- ful growl of empty stom- achs turned into satisfied burps and belches. The bell rang, signalling the end of our midday break and the second half of another boring schoolday. For most of us, lunch was our best class of t he day.

It’s none other than the infamous Homework Mountains. This rocky terrain takes a full school year to get through, and it must be endured faithfully, be- cause while one is scaling them, there is no sign of relief in sight. Something else comes with being a OSS junior. A new sense of self-confidence. You're fi- nally an upper-classman “Being a junior is unique because you have a good understanding (well you should) of the peo- ple and things that take place around. You're more confident on your decisions and you really feel the stuff you like about school. (not home- work!)

We welcomed Mr. David Eliaser, Our new vice prin- cipal to the ranks. He brought with him a new fresh look at things and new ideas to our adminis- tration. His family was always very supportive of him, es- pecially when it came to academics. As the father of three children, two sons and a daughter, it wasn’t surprising to find that he supported his children in every way possible. “| had a very supporting family, especially aca- demically,’” commented Eliaser. Eliaser, who was looking forward to settling down in the Bay Area, had been in the teaching profession for the past 13 years, He recieved his Batchelor’s degree at San Fransisco State and his Master's de- gree at San Diego State. “My views for Alameda High include the improve- ment of maintenance and academic programs. | would also like to im- prove on students arriving to classes on time. | would like to see brought about the successful computer- ization of office functions, 88 Administration so people will see that it, computers really do save time,’’ he said when asked for his views and vi- sions for AHS. Ms. Betty Ruark, who has been working at AHS since 1980, also taught for many years. She started teaching back in 1972 as a substitute teacher and later became a perma- nent teacher at Chipman Middle School in 1976. Earning her degrees at UC Berkley, California State Hayward, San Fran- sisco State, Holy Names, and Lavern University, she definately expressed an intrest in learning by mak- ing a commitment to her own education. Ruark was raised by her grand- parents and was an ac- tive participant in school activities. “| was an only child and Qa very good student in school. | loved school and sine being involved with “ said Ruark. She was a ‘ahaa of a journalism club, photography club, CSF, and a cheerleader during the years she spent in school. “| like working with young adults and | like working with adults. | was ready to grow into anew challenge professionally, a change,” she said when asked what gave her the incentive to become a vice principal.—Don Ben- sen Don't they make anice couple? - Mr. -Gliaser and Ms. Ruarkk wave to the crowds as,they,.ass.by, during the Homecoming, Parade.

Wheelwright taught English before she be- came a principal, and when asked of she’d like to teach once again, Wheelwright responded, “Certainly. | love teach- ing. “| wanted to expand my sphere of influence from the classroom to over the entire school,” she answered when asked what gave her the incentive to become prin- cipal.

The center is run by four counselors, all four of whom have a Masters degree in guidence and counseling. The center’s secretary of 25 years is Mildred Ellis, also a gra- duate of Alameda High. The busiest time of the year is the begininng of the school year due to new schedules, new stu- dents, and new rules. The end of the year is busy be- cause of seniors who may or may not graduate, un- derclassmen who may or may not pass, and all of the last minute things to put the school year to an end. Arelen Hoshi, head counselor, has been on the counseling staff for 10 years. “It seems when you're done with one thing you're on to the next. It’s constant,’’ she said de- scribing work in the coun- seling office. ‘‘There’s not enough time to make an impact on a lot of peo- ple.”’ Mrs.Ellis said the most common complaint she hears is that students have to wait to see the counselors. ‘‘Sometimes we send for three stu- dents and they all come at once,”’ said Ellis. Besides the complaints of the wait, there are many more complaints heard inside the the quiet little rooms. The counsel- ors said they range from various teachers or class 90. Counseling Office changes. But Mary Ellen McManus had a different point of view. “| don’t think they feel listened to. They don’t identify at home and they want an adult to listen to them,” she commented. As for the graduation requirements all of the counciling staff agrees with them and feel they are easy to work with. “It’s a competative world,’’ says Clare Porter, ‘ they are long overdue.” Off to the side of the counciling office is the ca- reer center run by Janet Toepfer. ‘‘Most people come in because they want to. It’s a different at- mosphere.” she said. She also added that the stran- gest thing that has hap- pen to her in her job was to learn computers, but she likes the variety her job offers. “| like my work, the stu- dents, faculty, parents,”’ said John Maiers, a coun- selor for five years. “It’s a major advantage.’’ Maiers added that he en- joys working with teens and that Alameda is a nice community. As | was interviewing Porter, one of her former students walked in with a two-month-old baby. When the new mother and baby left, Porter turned to me and said, “This is what | like best. Young people stimulate and interest me. | get alot back, | don’t know what it is, but | get a sense of con- tribution,’’ she said. “| like participating in the next generation.” —by L.

In the guise of mild man- nered science teacher, Mr. Leroy Bernadou has raged a war on procrasti- nating students for the past thirty years. But who is this man, what makes him tick? These questions have puzzled man since the beginning of time, and | was determined to discover the answers. When | found Bernadou, he was raging the war on procrastination with his third period class. His words were as brillant as his way of presenting them was mezmorizing. After class when he was relaxed, | asked him how he felt about being cho- sen as one of the feature teachers. “It’s always flattering to be picked among your peers,’’ said Bernadou as he casually sat down at a desk. The next thing | asked this semblance of higher education was what he felt about the students here at the school. “The students here are friendly not anti-teacher and disipline problems are small,” responded Berna- dou. But let’s slow down a minute. This man couldn’t appear out of nowhere. What else has he done in his life time? What high school did he attend? What were his interests in high school and in his pri- vate life. For the answers to these questions | be- gan to dig deeper. He attended Berkeley High School, where he was a good student with a B average. His interests included athletics, music, choir, drama, and student government. When he got out of college he played minor league baseball in Tricity, and Luiston Idaho, until a back injury cut his career short. He was a football coach here at Alameda High, leading t hem to several ti- tles. He has brought in walnut crops, and has even been a profesional drummer. On his days off he enjoys going to Clear Lake, hunting, and going to concerts. In closing Mr. Bernadou would like to congratulate the seniors hope they succeed and beat procrastination wherever they meet it.- by Mark Cumming What do you want? - Leroy Berna- That's the ticket!

Having Mrs. Sally Gallagher for Al- gebra ll made her seem to me like an all around cheerful person. My mis- sion is to find out about how she really is. Her dream was to be- come a dancer. She took dancing lessons as a child and continued during col- lege. “When | was in college, my mother told me that | had to become a teach- er despite my taking dancing,”’ she comments candidly. ‘She was the one who influenced me to become a teacher.” She considered herself a great student. Who wouldn’‘t? She graduated number four in her class and practically got straight A’s. When she became a teacher, she was suprised to see things that she nev- er knew existed in the school system. She took college prep courses and loved school, so she never realized that people ex- isted who didn’t like school and that there was such thing as a general class. “In all of my classes, | liked all of the students, but once in a while, there is a bad one,” she said. ‘| just treat them good, and | get the same treatment back.” She was the sponsor of the Class of ‘83, and at the Senior Assembly of that year, she was award- ed with her most memo- rable moment. “The class that year had a lot of money, so they took some money out of the treasury and gave me and my hus- band a weekend in Car- mel. They gave us a fancy suite, where they sent a bottle of champagne,” she says smiling with great expression. Her career has proved to be quite rewarding. Asking her if she had a chance to do it all over again, what she would do, she kids, “| would marry someone rich and not have to work ever again.’’ She continues, “No, | would definitely be- come a teacher again.” | now realize that my earlier description of Mrs. Gallagher wasn’t quite accurate. Not only is she a cheerful person, but she is also one of the most charming people | have ever met. —by DeWayne Crone Goodbhoy - Sally Gallagher,praisés © Tahdahl.= Sally Gallagher displays Jerel Yalung aftér, ae¢eomplishing a’._her evening attirejar the Winter Ball.

Occupation: English teacher at Alameda High School. Reason for Investigation: To find out why she is such a good teach- er, Begin Investigation: As | was walking down the hall and came to her door it was covered with a silver foil, various hats and Christ- mas lights. When | entered the room she was sitting at a desk drinking a diet coke. She was wearing a blue outfit. Her hair was brown with a touch of gray, show- ing of her true majesty. The first question | asked her was what was her greatest mo- ment in teaching. “When a student discovers the ‘ feeling of excitement and confi- dence that it brings,’’ responded Brown, The next thing that | asked her was what she thought of the stu- dents. “They are the reason that | stay a teacher, they’re energetic, en- thusiastic, frustrating, and never boring,”’ responded Brown. She is a very enthusiastic and creative person who enjoys weaving, camping, and writing. Conclusion of Investigation: Mrs. Joan Brown is one of a kind. Trying to copy her or her style would be next to impossible if not impossible. She and the people at Alameda High are truly lucky to have her. - By Mark Cumming Earl Nethercutt Math Jean Nolan Computer Keyboard Teri Olsen Spanish Susan Paden Physics Biology Charmaine Pearson Art Jacqueline Perry Clare Porter Counselor John Potter Auto Trades Ginger Pucci Attendance Clerk Judy Quan Math Martha Quenon Chemistry Physical Science Carole Roberds Learning Resource Teacher Julie Roemer English French ESL Ruth Romero-Aviia Spanish Betty Ruark Vice Principal Robert Rodd PE Student Government Linda Saail Attendance Clerk Mabel Schenone Attendance Clerk Susan Soria Cable TV Media Betty Tillotson Fashion Art Chiid Development Dominick Vinciguerra Math Keyboard Gretchen Wheelwright Principal Chery!

Among their goals were succeeding in the class competition, doing well in homecoming, raising money for the class, and choosing a deejay for the Junior Prom. They set out to conquer these goals, realizing it would take dedicated teamwork to accomplish them. First on their agenda was to dominate the class competition. Whether it was by rolling a gumball with a party blower or conquering a plate full of ‘‘goo”’’ at rallies, they showed their stuff to the onlookers gathered in the circle. With a little cheer- ing from fellow Junior Class members, they tri- umphed. Next came homecom- ing. The juniors were rarin’ to go. Unfortunately, they were short of luck this time. They came in a third place behind the seniors and the freshmen in the traditional float competi- tion. However, a little wet weather the night before didn’t dampen the juniors’ spirits. They gathered to- gether and worked the entire evening to deco- rate their volcanic scene inamilitary garage across the street from Thompson Field.

They raised over one-thousand dollars for their class, all in the month of December. Many juniors lugged bags of candy all over school, selling delicious Twixes, BarNones, etc. to hungry classmates Others bou ght Round Table’s piz- zas, Of which thirty per- cent of the proceeds went to the AHS Junior Class. Some spirited ju- niors even did both! “| feel the fundraisers this year were much more effec- tive. There was more coo- peration. It seemed like more people participat- ed, too,’’ said Natalie Zee. Then, to top it all off, just when we thought they had slowed down, they provided their fellow classmates, as well as stu- dent body, with live en- tertainment during three lunch periods. “Listening to music during lunch breaks up the monotany of school. It’s a good idea to hear different deejays sO we can decide who would do the best job,” said Karen Fong. The Junior Class stuck together and accom- plished their goals.

Not only was the Sophomore Class ex- pected to meet the rigors of their second year of high school with maturity, but they were also given the opportunity to prove it. As a part of the Current Life class, sophomore stu- dents were the first class to experience the joys and sorrows of mother- hood through the parent- ing of a baby ... egg, of course. For a total of five days, students, as single parents were seen around the campus carrying baskets or improvised ‘carrying cases” containing their lit- tle eggs inside. Though the thought of carrying an egg around might seem quite strange and embar- assing, or maybe even an easy task to some, | learned, through talking to participating sopho- mores, that caring for an @gg was more than it was cracked up to be. Owing to the egg’s deli- 408-Sophomodre Division sophomores cate nature, parents were allowed to leave their eggs with egg-sitters while in dangerous classes, such as P.E.,, where the egg’s welfare could be threatened. It was on one of these oc- casions that Julia Ng, mother of twins, Ariel and Adrian, left her eggs with an egg-sitter and later found out that they had died instantly as the result of being accidentally knocked over. Granted that this situation is ex- tremely melodramatic, Julia was given the op- portunity to adopt an- other egg which she named Marisa. Students who might have found themselves in a similar situ- ation, got points deduct- ed from an original set of points. But worse than this, parents whose egg’s shell was found to be cracked, were consequently charged with child abuse by their teacher. Although not all sopho- mores had been assigned twins, most might agree that the responsibility of one egg was as an ‘egg’-cellent ‘egg’-sper- ience.—by Monika Chin Fall officers - Front row: Patricia Lin, president; Lilybell David, adboard; Daniela Micocci, historian; Mary Ann Kim, secretary.

It was four days before Christmas. when a Pan American 747-100 jetliner, carrying over 230 passen- gers, exploded 33,000 feet over the Scottish town of Lockerbie. A total of 259 people died as the aircraft plunged through the town of Lockerbie during their Prime Time—when the families gather in their living rooms and watch shows on television. U.S. investigative offi- cials confirmed that the lranian Liberation Organi- zation (ILO) had claimed responsibility for the sabo- tage of the Pan Am jet. A warning had been deliv- ered to the FAA and to Pan Am from a represen- tative of the ILO. A second jefliner crashed on January 8. It had been confirmed that the crash was not a result of sabotage, but of a multi-engine failure. 44 people died and 80 were injured when a British Mid- lands Airways 737-400 crashed a half a mile form the East Midlands Airport.

The 737-400 crashed ha e from the runway A Whale of a Tale n October of 1988, three whales were spotted trapped in the ice near Point Barrow, Alas- ka. Almost immediately, whale hunting Eskimos, oil company officials, and envi- ronmental activists trekked to this tiny hole in the ice where the three great beasts were surrounded by a massive ocean of ice. The rescuers had hopes of sav- ing the battered and weak- ened California Grey Whales. Throughout the world, people's hearts were touched by this tale. Televi- sions were tuned in awaiting news of the whales’ plight. The United States and Russia set aside political disputes to join together and free the whales. Even though one of the three perished, and it wasn't certain the others survived, it seemed well worth the exorbitant amount of money for the union between nations. Many whales perish in this manner annually, yet, they are not seen by the public. With this event, internation- ally publicized, it caused a great show of empathy from foreign nations, like Russia, who used their powerful barges to cut through the thick ice, thus leaving a nar- row canal for the whales to escape into the Pacific Ocean, There, the whales could continue their journey south, to the warmer waters of Baja California. —by Tia Sofatzis Acorn Journal 129 Bs tee Running their way to success - Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers and Sean Ormond of the Alameda Hornets play integral parts in the victories of each team.

Remember Rea- ganomics? Nancy’s astro- logical charts? Finally, the reign of the Reaganauts ended. With Reagan’s farewell, three major candidates emerged from the polls: Jes- se Jackson, Michael Dukakis, and George Bush. Both Jackson and Dukakis presented a strong founda- tion for the Democratic Par- ty. Jackson’s inspiring orato- ry gave him excellent cre- dentials as far as domestic appeai; however with Duka- kis and Bush, Jackson was surpassed as far as political experience. This functioned as a prime factor in Jack- son‘s loss at the democratic convention to Dukakis, Du- kakis becoming the candi- date for the 1988 presiden- tial campaign. Move over Reagan, Now There’s Someone Leaner: The Bush Era Begins Yet Dukakis, supporting is- sues such as environmental protection and the home- less, didn’t score very high on the likability quotient, a mere 38% (TIME magazine poll) compared to Bush’s 44%. Though Dukakis did win the debate, whether he was likable may have been a part in his inevitable loss at the polls. Eventually, even with the controversial appointment of Dan Quayle as Bush's run- ning-mate, to whom 46% of voters felt was an unfavor- able move, Bush still won the election hands down. Nei- ther Quayle nor the loss of the debate, stopped him from becoming president. But what does this hold for the future? Who knows.

In 1988, AHS Hornets beat the EHS Jets, and San Franciso 49ers beat the Cincinnati Ben- gals. After an eight game losing streak to the Jets, AHS pulled out of the slump, defeating the Jets by ascore of 27 to 10. For a team whose fans were bad sports, they took the loss well. The 49ers, however, didn‘t win by such a large margin. Even though it took the 49ers a while to get ahead and stay ahead, they managed to fly away from Florida with the Superbow! Champion title. The 49ers’ win, com- pared to our win, had alot more enthusiasm involved with it. But for Alameda, winning that big game really meant something. Even though we only had local newspaper recogni- tion, we came away with a proud feeling of ac- complishment. All year long, the Jets had plans to run us into the ground.

The greenhouse effect is caused by our con- tinuing emissions of heat- trapping carbon dioxide. This summer’s heat waves, droughts, floods and hurri- canes may only be previews of what could happen with even increasing frequency if the atmosphere warms three degrees Fahrenheit to eight degrees Fahrenheit by the middle of the next cen- tury. The possible conse- quences are so terrifying that it is only prudent for governments to slow down the build up of carbon diox- ide through preventive measures, from encourag- ing energy conservation to developing alternatives to fossil fuel. Among the reme- dies considered, one was cutting back on the coal and oil use, planting carbon dioxide absorbing trees or harnessing sea plankton that would also absorb the car- bon dioxide from the air. If all else fails, man might need to transport sulfur diox- ide into our stratosphere by means of aircraft; by doing so, the sulfur dioxide would make sulfuric acid which would reflect sunlight into space, reducing the amount of solar energy heating the Earth. If nothing else, these tac- tics emphasize that in order to regain control of the greenhouse effect, we need to act quickly. The more money the govern- ment spends on this issue now, means the fewer bil- lions we will need to spend on future technological fixes later. — by DeWayne Crone Acorn Journal 134 Wide World of Sports ginnings in anceint Greece, athletic nhas been a time-honored tradition of from the start. aterpolo. Whether you were male or fe- male, freshman or senior, there was a sport for you. The athletes of AHS demonstrated an incredi- ble understanding of the true meaning of athlet- ics. “When | come in last, and I’ve done that plenty of times, | don’t even think about what place | come in. I’m just exhausted and glad that I’ve come in at last. And then the team’s there to cheer everyone on so! don’t feel bad at all,’’ said Rowena Ng. Coming in last, or losing a game would encour- age the athletes to analyze their actions so that they would do better the next time. “lam really encouraged to do better when we lose because then we think of revenge and we work a little harder to get better,’’ said Chris Wong. Winning was a different story. All those hours of practice after school had been put to good use. “It’s a great feeling when you win, especially if it’s a big game. You feel so accomplished, like alll the practice and hard work was worth it,’’ said Sarah Hawkinson. A big part of participating in athletics was the opportunity to work with other people as part of a team. Without this basic unit, most sporting events would not be possible. A team is there to encourage you when you do bad, and to cheer you on when you do good. “| like being part of a team because there is a certain sense of closeness among the players. Like ‘‘all for one, and one for all’’,”” said Hawkinson, Lastly, athletics not only look good on your tran- script, but they’re also a great way to get some exercise. “Athletics are important because you're deal- ing with the whole individual.

New players from the JV team contributed to the awesome vollyeball team with their training from past years. Coach Roy Ching, a coach for the womens’ varsity volleyball team, also commenced the year with high-expectations for the team saying that the team this year possesses good attitudes and strong defense. Coach Ching’s experience with volleyball extends to the days when he coached at Merit College. The players were provided with snazzy, sun-yellow jerseys and jet-black tights, which. created..a dramatic change fromthe snow-white, long sleeve jerseys and the normal;-athletic shorts the athletic department provided in previous years. The sun-yel- low jerseys seemed to caution: “Watch out! We are coming with a vengeance, whether you are ready..ornot!”’ The volleyball team practiced inthe gym from 2. p,.m, to p.m. with strenuous physical workouts such as runningi-jumping, and sliding. Another year for the veteransmeant dramatically improyv- ing. offensive and defensive skills and:techniques require to intimi- date and.overcome theif.antagonists. “This is the: best team ve, had_as-fanas all-around teamwork,’’ praised Ching; .“‘The-girls tend.to. work very good together.” “In the-beginning, the players showed more of independence but the players gradually. became one big family,”’ mentioned Vesna, Sepic; one the-cdaptains of the varsity team. “They-(the varsity team). supported each other in every as- pect—up or down, on and_off-the courts,” explained Coach Ching; ‘“There.were fRo.pessimistic attitudes, and every opportu- nity the team _had.to repress Was-demonstrated.”’ Explicit. team ‘effort-and.outstanding ability-to communicate well, such as yelling “Help!” when-aplayer,wasnot able to dig the ball in timme,_or yélling:schoolchants loudly to get the players hot for the game; strongly contributed in placing Alameda as one of the top teams in the league. Although tears rolled down the cheeks of the players after being defeated by the powerful team at Albany, it was obvious that good spirits were still burning in each one of the players hearts. For instance, they continued to yell school chants for hours while the players were being taken home. “The most important thing is that people have fun, and to play together as a strong unit,’’ asserted Daphne Chin, also one of the captains of the varsity team. “Serving had improved substantially, blocking had begun to improve, but setting remained the same,” said Bernadette Te- soro, one of the main setters on the varsity squad. On a psychological basis, Sepic mentioned, ‘Attitudes, skill- level, and sportsma nship—all improved dramatically throughout the season.” Despite not being eligible to compete in North Coast, the wom- ens varsity volleyball team still closed the season with the opti- mism and the potential to warn the others in the league that they will return with a vengeance next year. —by Dana Lamborn 440 Women’s Varsity Volleyball , i A Bae “Daphne Chin, co-captain, lead pow- . er-hitter, and lead server, commenced “the: 1988-89 volleyball season with an .@bsolute thirst for competition, and, at “-the:.same time; expressed care and Jove. for. her. fellow teammates. is) Chin began playing league volleyball -.in eighth grade with Ms. Pat Lopez of “..Will-C.

Co-captain Stephanie Saxton re- mained as the only JV veteran. Their practices were held in the gym from 5:30 p.m. until around 7 p.m. This fresh breed of players showed great charisma and a defi- nite positive outlook for the team as a whole. During their tough matches with other teams in the ESAL league, they wore snazzy, black shorts and jerseys, with, a’soft-yellow trim around the base of the shorts and’on the sleeves of.the jerseys.

JV basketball a sport most intriguing and can be easily grasped by the naive spectator; each player on each team works togeth- er to get the ball into the opponents basket for points. On the whole our JV team is both eager to work their hardest and as an average each team member has been playing for about five years, so they do have a bit of experience under their belts. Also most of the players have made it through freshman basketball with new experience and understanding of the game. “love to score points, it’s the best feeling in the world when you hear your name being chanted by the crowd for the baskets you have just made,” said Joseph Quinto.

Club Day 183 tne not-so-typical cluD meefing Club meeting- (noun) 4. a gathering of students shar- ing similar interests; partak- ing in varied activities; par- ticularly eating lunch.

Tired of the bland, day-to- day lunch times, the Science Club organized an octatha- lon of events, including such events as marshmallow towers, Mousetrap cars, bal- loon rockets and paper air- planes, making for an inter- esting and amusing lunch period. “You get to enjoy differ- ent activities, have fun and 184 Typical Meeting relax,’’ said Science Club member Young Yoo. And to think that | be- lieved club meetings were ordinary!?! Curious, | contin- ued the trek throughout that week and was surprised to discover even more late- breaking news. The Asian Club’s meeting was packed with students, many of whom were prime candidates for the infamous Asian Club Scholarship.

Member David Chan re- vealed an important aspect of the club. “Being at the Asian Club meetings increases your ethnic awareness,’’ Chan confessed as he thoughtfully placed his thumb on his chin. It seemed that club meet- ings were much more than what | first envisioned them to be. From planning trips to building marshmallow towers, there were much more activities available than just feeding your face.

Another staff member had a very different idea on the subject all too familiar to any publications student:stress. In addition to regular school- work, deadlines added ex- tra pressures that were above and beyond the call of duty. A lot of time is kickback, where we just fool around. But when deadlines come, all hell breaks loose. I'm a writer and a photographer, and if | don’t balance my time, I’m in a lot of trouble. Sometimes we might have to stay after school four or five hours to finish what we started,’’ said Greg Risling. 486 Oak Leaf Published approximately every three weeks, getting the Oak Leaf out on time re- quired a good deal of team- work. The responsibilities of inter viewing, writing, typing, and editing were shared by all. “Teamwork plays a big part, because if one person doesn’t have their story in, then the whole layout has to be changed,” said Paik. Many of the staffers de- cided to join the school newspaper because it would be their first step on their way to a career in jour- nalism. “| have known for some time that | have wanted a career in journalism, so being on the Oak Leaf staff was a logical step,”’ said Nicholas Hass.

Oak Leaf 187 marching to Qa new beat Alameda High has been through a lot of changes over the years. This year Ellie Perry has taken over the du- ties of the music depart- ment. Perry has been teach- ing music since she was thir- teen years old. She has made some changes and kept up some old traditions. “We're trying to introduce new kinds of performing groups to involve new stu- dents,”’ said Perry. She add- ed, “It’s a growing stage right now. That’s what makes it so neat. We can make it into anything we want to.” This year there were two drum majors instead of one. Garth Smith, who plays ev- ery brass instrument except the tuba, has played for sev- en years, and was drum ma- jor for field competition. Smith is planning to become a marching instructor. Clo- ver Mow, who played the flute for six years, was drum majorette for street compe- tition. Both came new to Alameda’‘s band last year from bigger bands. “Ht was a lot different,’’ as Mow describes coming to a new band, “a smaller band takes a lot of adjusting.” Smith also performed with the Blue Devils Drum and Bu- gle Corps, which has 250 people in their band. The two drum majors felt Perry has a good job with the band. For most of the musicans this was not their first year. Catalina Hurtado, who played the flute and percus- sion has been involved in music for eleven years. “| think music is essential to life,’’ said Hurtado, “it makes me a better person.” The common feeling of the students of the band is not to go into the music pro- fession, but to keep their skills. But who’s to tell? Ala- meda High has been through a lot of changes cver the years. —L.Dodson-Partida The 1988-1989 Dixieland Band - Baldo Flores, Dave Duckworth, Matt Brewer, Dennis Aman, Not Pictured: Sean Parkinson sh Wilhelm, Tricia Leckler, Ellie Dennis Aman,Second Row:Su Ryan Holder, Ernie Marlan, Scott red: Catalina Hurtado, Garth Smith 4988-1989 Jazz Band - First Row , Dave Duckworth 488 Band I'm tired of playing - Chris Kelly takes a break from his clarinet Kelly was also on the cross coun- try team this year.

Some stu- dents joined the choir just for fun and others were more serious about singing; how- ever, it was a good exper- ience and a lot of fun for all regardiess of whether they want to become profession- al singers, or because they loved to sing. Alameda High School had two choirs which were taught by Ellie Perry. First pe- riod there was the mixed chorus. Fourth period was the ‘jazz choir’. Both groups have been singing a lot of sixties music which they have seemed to thoroughly enjoy. “California dreamin’ and ‘Lolly Pop’ are my favorite songs to sing,’’ exclaimed Greg Risling. Dennis Aman enjoyed singing swing, jazz, The 1988-1989 Peace Council-T nifer Rishel. B and contemporary music. When students were asked why they decided to join choir they replied with several different reasons. “| liked singing and every- body told me that | should join, so | dropped Spanish for singing,’ replied Melissa Bray who is a soprano in the jazz choir. | wondered if any of the students planned on singing for their career. ‘‘No, but | plan to have a career playing contemporary music on the bass with my band, ‘The Object Lesson’,”’ said bass singer in the jazz choir, Dennis Aman. “I'd like to have a singing career but |I‘m a procrastina- tor,’’ replied Margaret Jarvis, a soprano in the jazz choir.

Choir 194 drama, a thespian family | walked into the Little The- ater, trying to be discreet so that | wouldn’t disturb the re- hearsal for the fall play. Though the actors had only been rehearsing for about a week, they had already be- gun to develop great char- acters. “It’s great, it brings every- one close together, and when you screw up every- one doesn't get pissed off,”’ claimed comedian Sam Louis. The actors on stage, how- ever, were not the only “family members” working on the play. The students who were not cast in parts worked on sets, costuming, sound, and helping out on the nights of the perfor- mance. In the production class the students are more like a family, and actress Eva Ha- geman had something to say about that. “When you become a family people are there for you. It helps when you are friends with the other actors so that you can interact with them better on stage,” said Hageman. When asked if drama was in their future, a couple of students were sure that it would be, “Yeah, because if | wasn‘t performing | wouldn’t be happy,’ exclaimed Drea Campbell. “Yes | want to go to a good performing arts school and act in live theater,’’ stated Jill Anne Miller, who starred as Anne Frank in the fall play. | wondered if Richard Bunker had a favorite role that he had played and why. “Nick Bottom from Mid Summer Night’s Dream be- cause | got to act as silly as | am and people clapped for it, ” exclaimed Bunker with amusement. | think the reason that AHS has such a fine troupe is the fact that the members treat one another with respect and concern as if they were a family, There is also a lot of great talent and superb di- recting by Fred Chacon.— by Molly Brownson Key Club - Top row: Sam Chan, Tonya Hammond, Dennis Chiu, Chris- tine Chin, Stacey Wong, Dan Lun Kim, Rowena Ng, Mary Ghiglione Sarah Enochson, Billy Tsai.

Room 34 is just another empty space left unopened and vacant in the many hallways of AHS. Or is it? You may see Mr. Fischer’s English classes conducted there if you steal a glance. However, when the ominmous clock on the wall strikes 14 a.m., you'll notice something different. No, this isn‘t the Twilight Zone. It’s a class called Leadership. Leadership is a class where many activities within the school are organized and carried out. Dances, blood drives, senior activities, and fundraisers are just a handful of the functions performed by these well integrated students. It may seem like a burden, yet for Rick Keiser, Student Body President, it’s a different story. “It is very fulfilling to me. It gives me something to suceed af.” Leadership may appear as a facade of popular social butterflies, however, the class is just another aspect of high school, where one learns about himself as well as his peers and future goals. “Leadership has changed my life. My career goals have changed. Not only has leadership inspired me, I’ve learned more about people. It has allowed me to see other's strengths, weaknesses, and insecurities,”” beams Henry Lin. Working together as a class allow the students to become close. Friendships allow leadership to work in a comfortable atmosphere. Aclose knit relationship exsists between the dynamic class and the faculty to ensure the benifit of the organization and the well being of the students. The activities that Leadership organize are for the students at Alameda. Leadership exists whether you notice it or not. It always will in high school as well as life itself. Being a leader takes a lot of work and inspiratation. It builds your personality to it’s limits. —by Ray Kang Fall Leadership: - Front row: S.Larsen, J. Sherratt, V. Bright, K. Gardener, M.

Eight students and one teacher were lucky enough to experience all this and more as participants in the annual trip to France of the Bon Voyage Club, Ad- vised by Ms. Julie Roemer, the group spent two weeks living in the homes of French hos t fam- ilies in the town of Romans, and another week in Paris. “They (the family) took me right in. | felt like | was a member of the family. They loved to try to communi- cate with me through their son (who was enrolled in an English class) especially in learning the names of kitch- en utensils,’’ said Ryan Dodds, The objective of the club was to emmerse the stu- dents in French culture and to improve their conversa- tional skills. “My family didn’t speak great English so | had to pick up French pretty fast,”’ said Dodds. French culture is very dif- fernt from American in many respects, but there are many American-inspired fads. Much of the popular music is English, shows like Cosby are dubbed in French, cowboy-type clothing is all the rage and ‘The discote- ques are really discos!’ said Stacey Wong. “There were mirrored balls, and we saw a guy in a white polyester suit doing John Travolta.” Of course, missing three weeks worth of school was a vacation, but it had its price. A lot of work had to be made up in a short time. “| had to make up a lot of the work | couldn’t have done while | was on the trip, like labs in Chemistry,’’ said Wong.

Destination: you guessed it, Spain. Unlike the previous year, Arriba Espana, advised by Mrs. Ruth Romero-Avila, planned to go to France and England, as well. Even though some members joined because they thought of it as a great opportunity to shop, educa- tion was sure to make its way in there somehow. “This year’s trip is going to be very fun, but it’s going going to be educational as well,” stated Romero-Avila. Because of the wide vari- ation of cultures and lan- guages that were going to be experienced during their summer adventure, Cooper- ation was going to have to be an attitude that existed in everyone. Linda Sae Jang, said, “When we're in Spain, if the Spanish speaking students will help me, | will help them in France. It’s going to have to be an equal trade,”’ Sae 498 Arriba Espana Gouagn: Jang added. During the meetings, ideas for fundraising was the sub- ject most widely discussed. Their ideas were designed to make as much money as they could, because going to Europe could be aa little costly. “The most practical idea we came up with was the skate-a-thon. It was an easy way to make a lot of dough,” said Danielle Yee as she continued eating her lunch during one of the many lunch-time meetings. Among the other ideas discussed were a yard sale, a raffle, taking inventory at Capwell’s, and the infamous LOLLY POP SALE (I’m sure you know what | mean). After all of the hard work, the group was curious if it all was going to be worth it; but, pardon the cliché, ex- perience is the best teacher, so they would have fo find it out for themselves. —by DeWayne Crone y Diaz, Conrad Branson ennifer Cullison, Jennifer Spanish Club - Top row: David Chan, Cathrine De Guzman, Jesusa Tayag, Mark Uridge, Diana Jun, Jenny Sio Bottom row: Julia Lee, Liza David, Rita Zamora, Gemma Teoxin, May Acosta, Maricris Cristobal Yoly Beth Pantig Excuse me, | have a question - rs.

Oviatt’s expectations were definately met on the trip. The major lesson that the members were taught, was the real life pressures in- volved in the creation of for- eign policy, which they themselves had to deal with in a simulated version of the making of foreign policy. In this activity, each member portrayed a certain world leader. Among the people involved were the world re- nowned Deboah Jew, the trade minister of Angola; Christina Chin, the advisor to the president of El Salvador; and Catalina Hurtado, the leader of the Guerilla rebel armed forces in El Salvador. The Vietnam Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the Pentagon were only a few of the many beautiful monuments visited by the group on the trip. “The Vietnam Memorial gave me a strong feeling of pride and patriotism, and | was really touched,” said Catalina Hurtado. “But if | see the Washington Monu- ment one more time, I’m go- ing to scream!’ adds Hur- tado giggli ng uncontrolla- bly.

Personal and Business Ads 231 DEADLINE! In the past, the yearbook page copy has always been about, and! quote,” . . . pulling together to cre- ate our dream.”’ Profound, no? But | feel that this year, more than any other, that worn out saying was the profound truth. The staff was comprised of a representative member from every conceivable facet of student life. This provided us with every point of view, so that we would be able to pro- duce a yearbook that would appeal to everyone. We tried to feature and picture as many different people as possible. Each page was constructed with this pur- pose in mind. That’s why we didn’t interview only the quarterback. Everyone had something to say, and we tried our hardest to let everyone be heard. Also, conirary to popular belief, Yearbook is a real class for a very real grade. “| thought it would be an easy “A’’. And then | found out you have to work to get an “A”. But it’s fun at the same time,’’ said Leesa Dodson-Partida. Deadlines had to be met, or it would cost money. Color cost money. Mistakes cost money. That’s why Mike Collier would constantly torment us with cries of- , ‘Sell ads, sell ads... ’’ until it was emblazoned in our brains. Interviews had to be conducted, stories had to be written and typed. Pictures had to be ordered, tak- en, developed, and cropped. Captions had to be writ- ten. Layouts had to be drawn, checked, and finalized. Everything had to be labeled correctly. All to meet the Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Student Life Editor Seniors Editor Academics Editor People Editors Sports Editor Clubs Editor Ads Manager Index Photographers Advisor Julia Berger Michael Collier Precious Costales Ray Kang Nicole Sproles Monika Chin Tia Sofatzis DeWayne Crone Tara Areola Michael Collier Mark Cumming Lynnette Dignon Joyce Kim Carmel Zimmerman Staff: Veronica Armstrong, Don Bensen, Mike Brooks, Molly Brown- son, Leesa Dodson-Partida, Bessie Glossenger, Holly Kittleman, Dana Lamborn, Jen Matsuoka. 232 Yearbook Staff deadline. Sometimes, by the fault of no one, work would pile up, so that everything just described would have to be done the day of the deadline. These marathons some- times lasted until 6:00 or 7:00p.m. “There’s too little time to do too many things,”’ said Tia Sofatzis. Some people were surprised to learn that the year- book didn’t just fall together by itself. “It’s nothing like | expected it to be. Things that look simple are a lot of work,” said Monika Chin. And yet, despite all the work, the constant pressure, and a perpetual shortage of white-out, the staff worked together remarkably well as a team. Someone was always helping someone else, and our resident computer expert, Mark Cumming, helped everyone. For the first time in history, we didn’t miss a single dead- line, we weren’t running back and forth to the one-hour photo place, and we didn’t Federal Express anything. Technically, the year was a success, But success can also be measured by something more important. Like when a class full of strangers at the beginning of the year is a class full of friends at the end of the year. “Yearbook has been the most frustrating, yet the most rewarding class of the year. | loved working with this class,’” said Carmel Zimmerman. Now that’s success.—by Julia Berger, Editor-in-Chief “Our Gang” - The 1988-89 Yearbook Staff. First row: Minika Chin, Tia Sofatzis, Veronica Armstrong, Leesa Dodson-Partida.

We made it! Another year, in the chronicles of Alameda High is, as they say, history. We survived finals, five- day weeks, math classes, SAT’s, and last, but certainly not least, we survived each other. Goals have been met. Many seniors went to col- lege, freshmen finally wer- en'‘t freshmen anymore, and sophomores and juniors got to move up a notch on the ladder of high school. Stress was certainly a fac- tor. “As a graduating senior, being able to surpass all of the expectations of teach- ers, friends, and my parents a on de 240 Closing has been an emmense task. Four years of high school has undeniably been a stress-in- ducing experience with classes, sports, and friends being the major contribu- tors,’’ said Matt Bookspan. Getting homework done, doing term papers, studying for tests, getting to every meet, and meeting every deadline required a disci- pline which was impossible to attain without some de- gree of stress. And while all this may have caused many late nights of finishing home- work, and skyrocketing blood-pressure readings, the end result was worth it all. Perhaps the most impor- tant aspect of this or any other year was the element of friendship. For the first time in our lives, Our peer group had more influence on us than our parents. We spent more time away from home, and we learned by exper- ience, rather than by being told. And friends were there to help us, every step of the way, “Although this year has been pretty tough, | guess | had a pretty good time. But without my friends, | don’t know if | could’ve made it through,”’ said Lisa Young.
