No Man Knows What He Can Do T il He Has Tried Creating a successful Senior Play requires more than good actors, proper lighting and a well-written manuscript. Unfortunately, the biggest burdens are placed on those who receive little or no credit for their efforts. Audrey Bardeeci played a major role in the Senior Play by assisting with props, make-up, costume changes and other odd jobs. She did anything and everything and remained uncelebrated except in the grateful eyes of the cast. Once again backstage, Mr. Cotter brilliantly directed but only the cast and those immediately involved were fortunate enough to observe his talents. Mr. Cotter was the play. Without him, it would have been nothing. He shaped it with his own hands, for at his fingertips lay experience, knowledge, patience and everything else needed to produce a dramatic production like the Senior Play, “The Skin Of Our Teeth.” This play depicting the problems that man has encountered, through out the ages, created a problem for the Senior Class, and that was how to spend the 500 dollars earned during that 3 day run in November. TOP RIGHT: DIRECTOR, John Cotter, shows David Dempsey and Luanne Lachapelle proper techniques depicting anger and frustration.

BELOW: DECORATING THE halls for spirit week are left to right: Ernest Pieroni, Karen Nicola, Steve Blackwell, and Sue MacClean. BELOW RIGHT: Football Queen candidates Marilyn Alcorn and Kathy Davis pose for a standard newspaper picture. Bonds Tying Us Together Spirited People Discover “Strawberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!” Such songs echoed through the crepe paper halls as classes competed for the title of “The Most Spirited Class at E.H.S.” An Ugly Legs Contest, a Dating Game and an Orange Passing Relay were the amusements sponsored by the classes. The Sophomores maintained an early lead but were bypassed by the Juniors who received the honor during the second week of competition. The end of spirit week marked the crowning of the football queen. Nominated by the football team and elected by the male portion of the student body, the queen named was Toni Garlit. Debbie Wright was princess and members of the court included Marilyn Alcorn, Wanda Alfonso, Kathy Davis and Karen Nicola. The competition over and the crowning complete, the classes once again became united as they met on Thompson field for the Encinal Alameda football game.
