After fifteen years, Gallucci Graduates Starting as a freshman and working her way up to a senior basically describes the life of Joanne Gallucci during her 15 years at Mitty. Gallucci left the school in january to pursue other interests. In 1969, she began work in the cafeteria. At that time, Mitty was an all-boys' school with about 650 students, she recalled. Gal- lucci was hired by then Dean of Students Steve Davis. I then worked in the main office doing general work,', until I began to work in the Business Office, said Gal- lucci. She stayed in the Business Office for the rest of her stay, eventually becoming Business Manager before assuming the position of Assistant Busi- ness Manager last September. Gallucci decided at the beginning of the year she needed a change. I will miss the school and the students very much. This school has been a part of my life for 15 years, she noted, and it's something you don't just walk away from. Themost memorable events for Gal- lucci included receiving the Brother F ien Award and a luncheon held at her departure in january. I will miss the whole school, she said. She treasures her collection of pictures of Mitty teams and people. However, like most graduates, Gal- lucci will have many memories to take with her. And, she states, I d intend to stay away from the M community and my friends. -Patricia wt! Freshmen unite through B-ball nite The spirit of '87 ran through the AMHS Sports Pavillion September 15 as basket- ball players and spectators gathered for the First Annual Freshmen Boys and Girls Basketball Nite. 48 The evening was an attempt by Coaclj Rick Petrich and Student Activities Dir- ector Michael Fallon to unite the fresh man class early in the school year and develop their own class spirit. The two-hour event began with ar introduction of participating homeroom? and was followed by performances b the junior Varsity Cheerleaders and Fla Girls. The Boys Varsity Basketball team, under Petrich's supervision, helped in organizing, coaching and ref- ereeing the event. The Best Boys' Homeroom went to the Pacers QPetrich's homeroomb, and Han- nan's Hawks won for the Best Girls Homeroom. Billie Spence's Iammers won in the Most Spirited category. With the school's attempt to unit freshmen and instill a pride amongsff them, many felt the B-Ball Nite was step in the right direction. As freshmaj participant Kathy Kingston noted, The school made us feel special because the made such a big deal about it, witf' cheerleaders and all, that we felt a sense of pride in being the class of 1987. -jessica Lopez- l

And the winners are. . . College to most seniors becomes the focus of their hopes and fears as they near graduation. Will they be accepted to the colleges they applied for? Will they be able to find housing or enter the field of their choice? Or, will they be discouraged by financial problems? College is an expensive investment, but some students are receiving a helping hand: scholarships and awards. They were well-deserved and well-received. john Little Outstanding Teen in America Award Total: 32100 Bill Rehbock San Jose Optimist Club School winner honored at luncheon Mark Scully Daughters of the American Revolution Outstanding Citizen-Senior class award Kathy Nino Soroptimist International Outstanding Student Award Kim Kistler San lose Optimist Club School winner honored at luncheon Michelle Doyle Veterans of Foreign Wars Speech Cont- est Voice of Democracy Speech-825 Elk's National Scholarship Contest District Level Second Place Santa Clara Youth Hall of Fame- Nancy Novak San jose Transit District Essay Contest Work Scholarship Santa Clara Youth Hall of Fame National Merit Scholar Brenda Broadus National Merit Scholar Donna Blum Good Samaritan Hospital- 8600 Bank of America Awards -Certificates- Drama-Carolyn Brilla Music-Tim Mills English-Mark Scully Foreign Language-Lupita Velez Social Studies-Dan N orbutas Laboratory Science-Kathy Nino Mathematics-Richard Klein Business-Lynn Gohmann -Plaques- Applied and Fine Arts-Margaret Pium- arta Liberal Arts-Kim Kistler Science!Mathematics-Michael Andrew Thomas il :XQXXX XX WX' ' ' lX ll X: :X X:illiXlX:lXX X li :X N: S: girls, girls atte the message We just wanted to brighten up hom- eroom,', explained Herrera, and give the students something to look forward to. With this idea in mind, ETV News was set in motion. Brandy Parris, Dave Truhe, Tina johnson and Carolyn Brilla each became an anchor person, taking turns depending on the assignment. ETV immediately distinguished itself through its use of on-location filming, interviews and feature stories. The second edition contained a look at the new salad bar, replete with filmed footage and interviews of cafeteria pa- trons. The behind-the-desk readings were also supplemented with out-in-the- field interviews and the use of computer graphics. Playing every Friday, the ETV segments supplanted the reading of announcements in homeroom. Creativity and necessity sparked this master plan, participation and enjoy- ment will carry it into its broadcasting future. -Tina Johnson- college, hopefully and know. :X iiiiiii X Y :: .,, ' l l ll I ,,...

Mitty News Alberto nets a two-week prize Who would have thought hitting a basket could win a S2000 scholarship to Nick Bollettieri's Tennis Camp in Florida? Monica Alberto didn't. I felt so crazy. I am the last person I though would hit it. Alberto was one of 150 high school tennis players who attended a Nick Bollettieri Tennis Clinic held at Courtside Tennis Club in Los Gatos last fall. Bollettieri talked to the kids and gave demonstrations. One drill required hitting a wire basket at the opposite end of the court. Alberto was one of three succeeding in the task. I felt weird, strange, people were shocked ,Hcommented Alberto. Her prize was two free weeks at Bollettieriis camp, a nationally-known organization that has produced several international champions. Arrangements were made so Alberto and sister Denise could go back for one week instead of two. -Theresa Banchero- ,snap 6May I see your ticket, please? This articular ticket, however, was no ordinary ne. Created for the Greg Kihn concert, it . specially designed by Mitty ' ublications. Mitty Publications was established this ar, based on a suggestion by Dave . tnicker, publishing representative to the xcalibur. Yearbook advisor Jeff House ealized the benefits of cutting costs on he yearbook and, after conferencing ith Lions Roar advisor Linda errante, a proposal was submitted to he administration in April of 1983. The incentive for in-house ypesetting included reduced costs and ore creative control: The charges mounted to S750 last year on revisions, nd no one would know what the final roduct would look like until the u ublication came out, noted House . In the spring of last year, F errante and ouse visited Saratoga High School and ere impressed with the journalism epartment's use of computers and esetter. After Father Rodney De artini also visited Saratoga, it was greed that the proposal would include a omputer and typesetter. The 317,000 investment included a om, structural changes, and new uipment, commented House. The , esetter, a Compugraphic IV-B, and a ranklin Ace 1000 computer with 64K, ord processor, CPM, monitor and two isk drives were set up in a one-time nitor's room around the corner from e faculty lounge. The freedom of publishing After a five-hour instruction, House learned enough about the typesetter and computer to give Mitty Publications its start. In November, MP released its first product, an NCETA flyer for Father De Martini. As work picked up, the small business provided a number of in-house products including a basketball program for Rick Petrich, work on the Development Office's Alumni News, and materials for the administration. In the future, the newspaper will be entirely typeset on campus, and students in both publications will learn wordprocessing skills. The yearbook will expand its use of the typesetter and Mitty Publications will take on more in-house work. Students will take over production and receive business credit under directed studies. -Patricia Curran- 49
