Our Talents, We Pass For What We Are The E.H.S. Talent Show, an annual December production, held the entire student body captivated. This amateur hour featured hidden talent revealed by advisors Mrs. Kinchin, Mrs. Nicosia and Mrs. Reaves. One main attraction, Jimmy Jerk and the Lightning Rods, launched into a comical rendition of “Blue Suede Shoes” while female fans fainted in the aisles. The guys also had their turn to swoon as a risque Hula dancer wiggled through her routine. Encinal’s newly formed singing troup, ‘Born Again” vocalized the religious ballads, “Pass It On’ and “Love Is Surrender.” Lust, an East Bay rock band, entertained the forces along with several soul groups. Other highlights included two acrobatic dancers, Tanya Ribet and Younjia Pettaway plus Encinal’s twenty member Jazz Ensemble and the R.O.T.C. marching drill team. ABOVE LEFT: ANNETTE Jefferson, Dorothy Childs, Rita Harris, Pam Sparrow, and Karen Duckworth put some soul into the Talent Assembly by singing “Stick-Up.”” LEFT: Encinal’s Talent Assembly had a taste of the 50’s when Jimmy Jerk and the Lightningrods appeared on stage.

It Is Said: “The Reliance On Governments Is Student Council underwent much change this year as the Student Body Officers, Bob Leach; president, Karen Kenney; vice-president, Cindy Griffith; secretary, Larry Carson; treasurer, and Sue McClean; head cheerleader, strove to improve, correct and amend relevant issues at Encinal. E.H.S. Radio, split assemblies, and the controversy over P.E. pass or fail grades were the most talked about issues. E.H.S. Radio was a series of Friday morning announcements combining comedy with daily messages. Perhaps the most memorable show was “Bruiser La Rue,” which moved the audience and almost moved E.H.S. Radio off the air. Students reactions returned the show on Fridays but at less than burlesque level. LEFT: KAREN KENNEY and Sue MacClean think about an issue brought up in Student Council. ABOVE: Bob Anderson brings up an important point in Student Council.
