Les Memoires Staff 1975-1976 Welcome Ladies Gents, to Les Memoires ' 76! At the end of each school year, as if by magic, a yearbook bursts upon the Cleveland High School scene. But the fact is, many hours of time, patience, and dedication go into making the book. So now, the Les Memoires staff of 1976, takes great pride in tooting its own horn and spotlighting the people who made it all happen. We ' re not humble ! The year ' s first order of business was to move the staff operations from C hall to a new, bigger and more well equipped (i.e. stove, washing machine, garbage disposal, etc.) headquarters, in room A-8 . After this hectic shift took place, the new room could be termed as quite a mess. But through the staff ' s hard work and determination, by the end of the year it was truly a disaster area. Two unknowing girls, assessing vandalism damage to A hall, midway through the semester, took one look at the room and exclaimed, Boy, they REALLY messed up your room bad! Our proud Editor-in-chief replied, It always looks like this. And speaking of the E-in-C, ours was none other than the very Kompetent Kent Braunschweiger. Who else? Using his natural leadership ability and a few emo- tional C ' mon guys, we ' re gettin ' behind ' s, Kent made sure every last page was turned in on time give or take a few weeks! Helping Kent was our Assistant Editor, the ticklish and contagious, Kathy Barrie. Besides always being there to lend a hand when you needed her, Kathy gave a new and distinctive at-ease look to our faculty section; now playing on page 157. Next in order of rank comes the lovely Loma Neilson, our Copy Editor. When she wasn ' t on platonic rendezvous with Kent in the phone room across the hall, she kept busy correcting our grammatical atrocities. That is, when she could get to the dictionary, which typist Shelley Garden sat on to reach the keys of her typewriter. But that ' s another story. Certainly one of the busiest members of the staff was Curly-Top Carolyn Fuson. She would shoot up to Northridge Studios to get photos for her section, the shoot over to McDonalds to get food for one and all, then she returned to shoot those Seniors who hadn ' t returned their proofs for publication. Whew! At the beginning of the semester, it appeared as though Grand Ann Boggio ' s underclassmen section was going to get off to a late start (bit nails). But then lighting struck, and the section was miraculously finished before Kent could say, Come on Ann, we gotta get going. Boggio triumphs again! Meanwhile, in another area of the room, Wild Bill Cartwright and Mystical Martha Moreno were talking. Bill said, Marth, we ' ve gotta create a great sports section. Martha told Bill, This is true. Bill said, You take half the pages and I ' ll take the other half. This sounds like a plan, replied Martha. Bill assured her that it was, and Martha gave the word to BIG ' G ' , little ' o ' . Go! And so our super sports section was bom, thanks to that simple twist of fate. Then there ' s Earl Speedo Baer, the boy wonder of instant insanity, and also the author of this text. Drowning in his frequent glasses of water, Mr. Baer worked very hard in presenting the years many activities, using his abstract mind to its fullest. Throughout the year, Clubs Organizations Editor, Marc The Ham Berger, displayed his unique talents. He kept us both amused and nauseated with inept impressions of George Carlin and John Wayne. Fear not. Rich Little. This brings us to our ace photographers, Tacky Tim Rector and Slippery Sharon Jacobowitz, whose pictures grace virtually every page of this book. Who needs Fotomat when you have a Rectomat around (strictly closed on weekends and holidays). Tim ' s photo work was always superb and unsurpassed in quality at least that ' s what he kept tailing us. Sharon spent most of her time sorting out the tons of negatives that kept piling up, and dropping us a few post cards now and then to tell us how she was doing. The clown responsible for the fine artwork throughout the book is our Art Editor, Gary Out to Lunch Schwarz. Gary proved to bean inspiration to us all by urging us to get our pages in even before they were due. His own division pages, however, were traditionally late. When Kent would ask him why this was so, quick-thinking Gar ' would reply, I dunno, and continue eating his peanut butter and honey sandwich. Artists are very tempermental. On some minor art projects (such as our cover), Gary was assisted by our talented typist, Shifty Shelley Gardea. Whenever a staff member was feeling low and needeed some moral support, they would simply show their work to Good ' ol Shelley. Her guaranteed opinion was, Oh, that ' s real nice. How reassuring. In reviewing the past year ' s events, we must not overlook the man who looked over our work throughout, our sponsor Mr. Stan Davis. Mr. Davis reminded us of many things, but most of all he reminded us of a shoe, of all things. He has a leather tough exterior, a quick tongue, and one heckavawicked sole. Thanks are also in order to Mr. Bruce Snyder of North- ridge Studios Photography and to Mr. Dave Sorrenson of the American Yearbook Company. We feel that this year ' s staff was nothing short of outstanding. We also feel the yearbook we produced was nothing short of a masterpiece. (We told you we weren ' t humble). It is our hope that you will enjoy and treasure these pages for years to come. Need more be said?

It is good for man to try all chaiiges progress and corruption, powers, peace and anguish, not to go down the dinosaur ' s way until all his capacities have been explored: and it is good for him. to know that his needs and nature are no more changed, in fact, in ten thousand years than the beaks of eagles. .J ' -.-it. Throughout the past year, the Les Memoires Staff of 1976 has w ed vfery harci%i col- laborating to present a book of memories which depict the many plbple, efepts, activi- ties, and accomplishments, which have made this year very unique. W6 wot p Mso like to recognize our country ' s 200th birthday, 1976— the year comemorating the iMependence of the 13 colonies; the birth of the United States of America. This is a very important part of our history, but as residents of California we have another history-the Winning of the West. The Indian days and the days of the Franciscan Missions are still evident today. Explorers like Jedediah Smith, a trapper who crossed the Sierra Nevada mountains and was the first American explorer to reach California by land, Kit Carson, and John C, Fremont add strength and color to our state. Cowboys, cattlemen, and homesteaders. John Sutter and the Gold Rush, are all a part of this exciting history. The California flag, a single star, a grizzly bear, and the words California Republic, show the courage and the spirit of freedom these frontiersmen and American settlers of California possessed. Now as we finish this book, we take pride in dedicating these pages to the Winning of the West, but most important the Bicentennial of our country.
