Mickey Caldwell, Debbie Harmola, Gail Castaldo, Mark Hunt, and Janis Liebhart began their duties as fall student body officers early last summer when they met regularly with members of the faculty and Administrative Board to discuss plans for the fall semester. As a result of these encounters, student meetings boasted the largest attendance records of recent years.

Executive council paces student Life Holding an elective student body office during the spring semester is perhaps a more difficult task than occupying the same position during the fall term, because the second semester leaders must cope with increasing apathy on the part of the students, and because of the limited time available to plan for the ensuing term. In order to continue the feeling of spirit that the fall semester officers generated throughout the student body, the spring officers worked to meet student requests and keep them entertained and_ interested in _ student government. Early in the spring semester, acting upon the suggestion of President Pat Potter in his campaign address, students undertook plans for a student union at AHS. One of the proposals was for a student lounge, which would be made open to any and all students. To provide noontime entertainment, weekly continuation shows of Captain Marvel cartoons, and old W.C. Fields movies were shown for a nominal admission price.

STUDENT JUOGES REVIEW CASES Gerry Yamasaki, chief justice, reads a Board of Control citation. Fighting a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way, Alameda High School's valiant Spring Student Court struggled bravely to uphold the traditions of goodness and mercy complemented by firm guidelines for student behavior. Responsibility ranked high among the Student Court justices, as each realized that he or she must participate in making a decision which could mold the behavioral patterns of all who seek their wisdom and judgement. Saddled with these heavy obligations were spring justices Cheryl Blevins, Gail Castaldo, Pam Jones, Nancy Nelson, Gerry Yamasaki, and alternates Shirley Brown and John Mullen. Offering helpful counsel to these dedicated young people was Mr. John Healy, AHS’s Vice-Principal. Added responsibilities were placed upon the shoulders of Gerry Yamasaki, who the group selected as their Chief Justice. Judiciary Committee discusses the facts surrounding a case. SENATORS WORK TO Highlighting the fall semester for Alameda High’s Administrative Board were the planning of Victory and Crosstown Weeks. Victory Week included a hula-hoop contest, a raffle for several albums, and three-legged and wheel-barrow races. Linda Trevino was crowned Victory Queen at half time of the Pacific game at the close of the week. The most important feature of Crosstown Week was Operation Understanding. Ad Board expanded the program this year, with student exchange from Encinal, St. Joseph's, and Notre Dame high schools. Ad Board was also concerned with important constitutional revisions. The recently formed Educational Fund Committee functioned throughout the fall semester, giving money for many different student-oriented activities, including field trips and student made movies.

Student body officers from each school participated in exchange meetings, where ideas for better mutual understanding were expressed and expounded upon. To increase spirit among AHS’ers, various activities were held throughout the week. These included a tricycle race, three-legged and wheelbarrow races, a grape stomp, and a slave auction, where class and student body officers, cheerleaders and pom-pon girls were sold to the highest bidders. On Friday of Crosstown Week, termed “Slave Day’, those sold were required to do all bidding that their masters asked of them. Also on Friday, senior Linda Trevino was crowned Victory Queen, during half time of the Alameda-Encinal game, in which the mighty Hornets thoroughly trounced their crosstown rivals by a score of 27-6. -— Buzzy, John Pola, congratulates Queen Linda Trevino, and her princesses: Melodee Witter, Sherrie Archibald, Karen Fletcher, and Bonnie McSharry.

GIRLS spIRItT fall athletics Janis Liebhart and Janice Coffman, head yell-leader and head pom-pon girl respectively, along with their spirited assistants, brought variety and enjoyment to the many attendants of the noon rallies this fall. Modesto was the site of a pom-pon competition where the seven girls placed high among the 150 squads entered. Both the pom-pon girls and yell- leaders competed at a clinic held at Chabot College, where Janis Liebhart was voted most spirited yell-leader. Added attraction at football games were Alice and Tessie Amaya, yell- leader and pom-pon girl mascots. To bring out the holiday cheer, the girls held a Halloween rally wearing monster masks. Also, there was a Christmas rally which decked the halls with the Christmas spirit. Cupcakes were sold to help pay for the girls uniforms. Helping to promote spirit at the football games are Alice and Tessie Amaya.

Completing the male majority were assistant cheerleaders Steve DeLuchi and Brian Campbell. Although it has been a few years since any boys have participated in any facet of cheerleading, traditions are made to be broken, and the breaking of this tradition proved to be a delightful switch. Adding a bit of femininity to the line were Debbie Amaya and Bobbie Friley, assisted at times by Mimi Vraciu. These six, aided by the spring pom-pon girls did their best to encourage and arouse spirit for spring basketball, baseball, tennis, golf, and track events. Because of the bi-sexuality of his line, Yell Leader Paslay was able to introduce to AHS sports fans a variety of new yells and routines, which were performed at spring sports matches and at noon rallies. The uniforms chosen by the spirit- raisers consisted of white pants, T- shirts, white block sweaters and saddle shoes for the boys, and white culottes and block sweaters for the girls. JoAnn Amaya served as head pom- pon girl, and was assisted by Cheryl Blevins, Debbie Diohep, Diane Fertado, Pam Eisenhauer, Patty Rose, Sue Head pom-pom girl Joann Amaya.

The presentation centered around Mr. Wishmaker, a gentleman who granted wishes of all those who came to him dealing especially with the holiday season. Several drama scenes depicted the carrying out of wishes, such as a scene from an old-time Sunday School program, a sleigh ride, a small boy wishing to go to the moon, an adventure in toyland, and the proverbial Hebrew and Nativity scenes. All students participating in the dramatic areas are currently enrolled in drama classes. This gives the pageant a smoother touch. Alameda High’s dance department also collaborated with Mr. Sisler in producing the pageant, by adding scenes including an African dance, toyland dance, moon dance, minuet, a sailor dance, and a dance depicting the different roles each of us portrays in a lifetime, entitled “Masks”. Alameda High's excellent orchestra, directed by Mr. Carlton Hanson played music to accompany the various drama scenes, and also accompanied the choral groups, directed by Mrs. Carol Cederleaf, on all of their numbers. Both these musical groups added just the right touch to make a beautiful holiday pageant. This year’s student director was Rosemary Groves.

Tom Weir and Mary Jacobs make their grand entrance SINGERS, OANCERS, ACTORS UNITE Why can't you behave, Bill? Once again the sound of music and the tapping of dancing feet filled the AHS auditorium the four nights of viewing “Kiss Me Kate,” a two act play within a play. Sam and Bella Spewack composed this piece and Cole Porter wrote the musical score. Fred Graham is the director of the production of ‘‘Taming of the Shrew,” which is going on during the play. Lily, called Kate in the Shrew, is his leading lady and also his divorced wife. Often character is dropped and real life goes on instead of rehearsals. More of a joy than a burden to the producer is Lois, Bianca in the play. She’s a sweet young thing who suits Fred’s fancy perfectly, and unfortunately many other men’s. Her boyfriend Bill during the Shrew, Lucentio, has just informed her that he lost $10,000, gambling. He had to sign an 1.0.U., so he forged Fred’s name. Meanwhile, two gangsters enter Mr. Graham's dressing room asking for their money. He knows nothing about the 1.0.U., but the thugs insist on their Fred Petruchio Lily Kate Lois Bianca Bill Lucentio Harrison Howell Gangsters Hattie It's a bird, it's a plane, no it's Kate. money. He confides in them. Lily said she was leaving the stage to become Mrs. Harrison Howell, the wife of an elderly statesman in Washington. The only way to be guaranteed of their money is to make sure that the show goes on with Lily. So, with a little persuasion from the guns, Lily unwillingly consents to continue. Opening night approaches and to make Lois feel confident, Fred sends her a lovely bouquet of flowers. However his valet, Paul, mistakenly delivered them to Miss Lily Venessi. Fred is furious. Lily may believe these flowers are an expression of his love for her. Trying to correct it all, Fred goes to see Lily. She is so delighted that he was unable to explain. Just before her entrance on stage, the card with the flowers is found. Reading it Lily discovers the mix-up. Rage fills her soul and she expresses herself by swearing, biting, kicking and slapping Fred during the Shrew, which is not in the script. But all’s well that ends well as this play does.

Re Taking a break at a fall Assembly Planning Committee meeting are Janis Liebhart, Debbie Harmola, Mickey Caldwell, Janice Coffman, and Gail Castaldo. Pleasing the student body at Alameda S U Cc al am EE ] nN G S High School in the matter of interesting and enjoyable entertainment at student meetings is a task which can prove to be trying and difficult. However, the fall and spring y Assembly Planning Committees brought En TERTAIN ah S ERS entertainment to the students which kept them amused and happy for two semesters. Planning assemblies for the spring were Randy Crawford, Jerry Oliver, Dennis Mullins, JoAnn Amaya, Gig Codiga, Debi Brydone-Jack, Jerry Carr, Vic Quintero, and Harry Paslay. SERVICE GROUPS INtROOUCE FROsNH TO ahs Alameda High School's friendly reputation stems from the fact that the Courtesy Board and Handbook staff both work their hardest to help welcome newcomers to AHS. Helping to acquaint visitors as well as incoming frosh is the main objective of these two groups. Previously, new handbooks were composed at five-year intervals. This policy was altered this year when it was decided to compose a new leaflet every two years. Mrs. Helen Hoeksema is in charge of selecting the staff, and this year she selected a representative from each class, including Senior Pat Curnutt, Junior Mary Gallagher, Sophomore LaLoie Emmons, and Freshman Freddy Curphy. New additions to the handbook will include a detailed explanations of class activities, with stress placed on the individuals duty as a member of his class. Also included will be a listing of college requirements to aid students in choosing their programs.

Chris resided with the Carlton Hanson family during her twelve month stay in Alameda. She had a ‘sister’ Denise, a junior at AHS to offer helpful suggestions. Although she termed string ensemble as her favorite subject, Chris declared that she enjoyed all her other classes thoroughly. These included English, United States history and government, and public speaking. She was also an active member of the Girls’ Athletic Association.

Members of Girls’ Glee, Vocal Ensemble, Choir, and Concert Chorale performed at numerous school and community programs. Under the guidance and direction of Mrs. Carol Cederleaf, the groups studied the works of various famous composers and experimented with different melodic and harmonizing techniques. Vocal performances outside of school functions included shows for the Kiwanis Club and for the Veterans Annual Christmas Show. When the singing groups do perform for the community, it is done only for the benefits of student experience; no monetary transactions are involved.

ACORN Expands TO 256 paGeEs Under the direction of faculty advisor Mr. Rick Gamble and student editor Kathi Dowling, the 1970 Acorn was expanded by sixteen pages. For the first time, an index of school activities, organizations, and departments was included. With four returning senior staff members, the yearbook benefitted from experience and new ideas from the novice staffers. The cover design chosen by the staff utilized the school emblem, the acorn. Other staff members and their positions were: Jody Poor, copy editor; Jean Vanderhagen, Chery! Blevins, copy assistants; Harry Paslay, Janice Coffman, senior editors; Sue Gatine, Roberta Hough, classes editors; Reagan Murphy, student life; Gail Castaldo, organizations; Nancy Nelson, academic life; Ken Buettner, sports; Gerry Yamasaki, Rich Harvey, photographers.

Assisting Mr. Hanson as student directors of the orchestra were Chris Bacchiella, AHS’s foreign exchange student from Ingham, Australia, and Charles Couchot, first bassist. The expertly guided group of musicians performed extremely well at the Senior and All-School Plays, as well as their biggest event, the Spring Concert. A new twist was added to student body meetings this year when Mr. Vinciguerra’s advanced band began a meeting by marching down the aisles of the auditorium, playing all the while. Spirit at football and basketball games was enhanced by the playing of the pep band, led by Student Director Margie Doolittle. Mr. Hanson instructs his violinists on a difficult passage. “Fiddlers three” concentrate on their music. The string ensemble practices ‘Fiddler on the Roof” for the Senior Play.

Despite these restrictions placed upon them, the Oak Leaf staff managed to bring to the students’ attention a variety of certain controversial subjects such as family planning, teachers’ salaries, and an article attacking censorship at both Alameda and Encinal High Schools. Editor Riggall was aided in his crusade for freedom of the student press by an able staff consisting of News Editor Kim Hubbard, Editorial Editor Denny Baker, Feature Editor Carolyn Peters, Sports Editor and Editorialist Tom Weir, Copy Editor and Astrologist Sarah Diamond, and a host of contributing editors, including Bill Meyers, Chris Denyven, Judy Smitherman, and Kathi Dowling, staff wonder-girl.

Mr. C. Richard Bartalini was chosen to preside over the school board meetings by his fellow supervisors, who included Mrs. Marion Cavanaugh, Mrs. Joyce Denyven, Mr. James Nolin, and Mr. Herbert Robles. All of these people were duly elected by the voters of the City of Alameda to represent them in matters concerning the education of the city’s young people. Meetings for the Board of Education were held throughout the year on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. These meetings are opened to any interested community member, and were usually attended by a large group of civic-minded onlookers, many of whom were involved in some way in the field of education, whether they were teachers, administrators, or merely parents of school children, or students. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Donald M. Roderick was also present at each meeting, aiding the Board in decisions and lending the sage advice of an experienced public servant. During an Alameda County School Board Association meeting, Lew Burnett of Head Division at Cal State, Mrs. Joyce Denyven of the Alameda School Board, Arthur Van Etten, President of School Board Association, and Mr. Richard Bartalini conferred. Richard Bartalini Marian Cavanaugh Joyce Denyven James Nolin Herbert Robles Mr. Donald Roderick, Mrs. Marian Cavanagh, Mrs. Joyce Denyven, Mr. Richard Bartalini, Mr. James Nolin and Mr. Herbert Robles discuss problems facing the school district. Donald Roderick mR. Bell SERVES As ahs LeaderR Striving to meet the ever-growing responsibilities of serving as leader of a school whose population exceeds two thousand people, Principal Donald J. Bell found himself faced with an increasing number and variety of pressing problems this year. Most of these problems were perhaps based on a lack of student- administration communication, and a lack of attempt at communication on both sides. To combat this gap, Mr. Bell attended all student meetings possible, and was also present at assemblies of the Administrative Board, Assembly Planning Committee, and other student governing bodies. He also kept his office open to all students who wished to discuss any sort of problem or idea with him, and devoted as much of his time as Nancy Nelson and Gail Castaldo confer with Mr possible to working for and with Alameda High School students. . Bell on school matters. Mr. Regello consults Mr. Bell about school activities. Mr. Bell makes the morning announcements. TWO NEW AOMINISTRATORS Many changes took place concerning the administration staff of Alameda High School this year as two new administrators were added to the AHS scene. Taking the place of former Dean of Students Barry Conner is Mr. Kenneth Biba. Mr. Biba received his Bachelor of Science and Masters Degree in education at the University of Illinois, and went on to teach English and history for five years in East Peoria, Illinois. From there he moved to Los Angeles where he worked for five years teaching juvenile delinquents. His last job was at a Los Angeles high school of 3400 students, 80 percent of which were black. Among Mr. Biba’s many duties at AHS are serving as advisor to the Administrative Board, Assembly Planning Committee, and the five officers of the Associated Students of Alameda High School. Mr. John Healy is capably filling the position of Vice-Principal, by serving as advisor to the Men’s Board of Control and the Student Court. He also handles the pressing as well as nerve-wracking problems of discipline for the wayward boys at AHS. Handling the girls’ discipline and advising the Courtesy Board and Women’s Board of Control are duties which fall into the competent hands of Mrs. Helen: Hoeksema, vice-principal. Mrs. Hoeksema also works in close association with the American Field Service, and takes care of all necessary city newspaper publicity for Alameda High.

GUIDANCE, Patient UNSER Perhaps the two things most needed by the average high school student at this all- important phase of his life are guidance, and a knowledgeable patient understanding of his problems. Alameda High School's fine counseling department consists of men and women who have dedicated themselves to fulfilling these needs. Headed by Mr. Robert Bartley, the counseling staff consists of Miss Lucille DiVecchio, Mrs. Charlotte Howell, Mr. Ashley Jones, Mrs. Louise Tham, and Mr. Alan Whyte. Each of these people must have under their guidance a large number of counselees, each of different age, grade, enviroment, and personality, each requiring a different type of understanding and help. It is the purpose of the counseling department to help students relate their present school courses and present experiences with those of the future. The staff tries to help their counselees meet the problems they are facing now, and at the same time prepare them for the even greater challenges they will have to meet alone. Advice is also offered especially to senior students who must begin to decide what direction they wish their life to take. Help with choosing and applying to colleges is given also.

It is the patience combined with the hard-working cheerful nature of all these people which provides for a harmonious relationship between the service crews and the rest of the school, and keeps AHS running year after year in smooth order. An added load was placed on the shoulders of the attendance office secretaries when a new system of attendance checking was instituted in an effort to stop cutting. The names of all students absent the first period, advisory, or second period were placed on a master sheet, enabling any teacher to check on a student in a matter of minutes. Cafeteria workers were also given a few new duties this year. They maintained stands in different places inside and outside the school building where students who hadn't the time or energy to go to the cafeteria could purchase food. Performing better than the ‘Galloping Gourmet” himself are the cafeteria cooks: Mrs. Cecil Gannon, Mrs. Helen Plonczak, Mrs. Alberta Dole, Mrs. Darlene Skiles, Mrs. Lucia Susiun, Mrs. Gen Welch, and Mrs. Jeanne Johnson.

The display case contained seasonal projects done by the various art classes to help brighten the halls. Senior play, all school play, Christmas pageant, and short plays were major productions of the drama department.

LANGUAGE, BUSINESS Introducing various means of communications to the world around us is the idea behind the teaching program of the foreign language department. The subjects taught include French, Latin, and Spanish. To promote student interest in the languages of their choice, classes explore the cultures of the nations which relate to their language. Seeing movies, reading literature, visiting restaurants, and seeing theatrical productions are just some of the ways this is accomplished.

Variations to the schedule were not prominent in the courses of math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus, taught this year. Supplying students with the basic fundamentals of mathematics and more advanced ones for those who desire it, was the main function of this necessary department.

STRESSES IMPORT Physical fitness and a trained and useful body are the structural objectives of Alameda High School's Boys’ Physical Education Department. Young men are taught how to participate in sports both individually and as a member of a team. Playing on different teams gives them opportunities to work with others of varied abilities, teaching them the importance of working together to build a strong unit.

Expansion and making their program more interesting and enjoyable for participants were the main orders of business for the. teaching staff of Alameda High School's Girls’ Physical Education Department. This was done by combining the various grade levels, save freshmen, into one class, and then offering three or four choices of sports to be participated in. As a result, the girls did better work because they were playing the sports that they chose to. Some of the sports offered were: volleyball, softball, golf, basketball, modern dance, archery, tennis and badminton.

Jerry Carr steals his way into the office of class treasurer. On Nov. 14, 1969, the seniors held the senior banquet at the Blue Dolphin Resturant in San Leandro. This event is usually held in the spring but the seniors voted last year to hold it in the fall. The theme of the banquet this year, was “Aquarius.” Two hundred seniors attended. The entertainment was provided by members of the class. Chris Bacchiella, our foreign exchange student, honored the seniors with her singing talents. Charles Linkhart accompained her on the piano. There was also class participation in skits. The senior jackets were medium long, double breasted old gold coats accented with a belt. The boys’ jackets were gold and white. The jackets were worn inside out to one of the student meetings, where President Brohard led a yell to ‘take them off and turn them around.’ The officers also made plans concerning the following activities: Senior Picnic, Senior Ball, Senior Meeting and the Senior hat and Showing a lot of “spirit” is class yell-leader Steve , a sock day.

SENIORS pREsEent “Life of the party” With Mr. Lloyd Sisler as director, Nancy Witter as his assistant, Mr . Carlton Hanson leading the orchestra and many talented senior actors, ‘‘Life of the Party,”’ a three act play by Marijane and Joseph Hayes, was inevitable to be a huge money making success for the class of 1970. A lovely home in Butterfield is the setting where the entire action takes place. Mrs. Hughes, a daughter of the revolution and prominent socialite, is the ever-busy wife of Mr. Jesse Hughes, cool, calm and the scape goat for everything. The family is blessed with three completely different daughters and one playboy son, Teddy: Amy Hughes is a member of the tenny-bopper team, Mildred is the image of her mother and Jean is a book-worm. Seeing the world through horn rimmed glasses, braces and pig-tails, Jean is positive that no one will ask her to the ball. She’d love to become friendly and beautiful like her sisters but opportunity never knocked. After the ball a party is to be held, but the problem is where to have it? Mike Tisdale approaches Jean with the suggestion of having the party at her house, and of course he asks her to accompany him to the ball. That same day Tommy King asks Jean. She is just over-whelmed, with two offers in one day. It seemed too good to be true, and it wasn’t. Ruth Coates, Mike’s present flame, hears of what is going on and it becomes a showdown between females. An agreement is reached: Tommy will escort Jean and Mike will go with Ruth. Night falls, and the party begins. Jean has blossomed out of her coccoon into a lovely young lady. Problems arise when Teddy’s three dates all arrive, the police continue to watch the Hughes residence very closely, and the guests become wild. Principal characters were, in order of appearance: Mrs. Hughes Kathi Dowling Amy Hughes Janis Liebhart Mr. Jesse Hughes Harry Paslay Teddy Hughes Kevin Harrity Jean Hughes Debbie Harmola Mildred Hughes Gloria Wesenberg Mike Tisdale Paul Russell Ruth Coates Kim Hubbard Tommy King Dave Williams Debbie Brydone-Jack and Janet Barry served as Manager and Co- Manager respectively for the Senior play.

ORGANIZATIONS csf, star Alameda High School's two scholastic societies, CSF and Star and Key put aside their thinking caps, put their heads together, and sponsored a joint basketball game during the fall semester and a picnic in the spring. For one of the many field trips, the clubs attended classes at California State College at Hayward. The purpose of this and other excursions was to widen the knowledge of the college- bound members, aiding them in choosing an institution in which to further their educations beyond high school. In order to assist those who find troubles with their studies, CSF, under the direction of sponsor Mrs. Joanne Takata and President Charlie Linkhart, offers a tutoring system, in which club members participate. Planning interesting and unusual activities was the job fulfilled by Star and Key President Jim Lee and his cabinet, which consisted of Charles Linkhart, Joyce Lee, and Tom Hui.

Spreading good cheer to underpriveleged people was the main goal accomplished by the “S” Club. By holding a Christmas party for the special class at Edison School, visiting the patients at Oak Knoll Naval Hospital, and sponsoring a picnic for the students at the Berkely School for the Blind, the group philanthropically brightened the days of many. Other activities on the club’s calendar were: a joint fashion show with Encinal’s “S” Club, and a regional conference at Asilomar in April. Under the guidance of Mr. Ash Jones, faculty advisor, and Gary MacDowell, club president, the Interact Club also performed many beneficial services, including collecting for the City of Hope, sending money to Africa for well- digging, and sponsoring an orphan from India and two Vietnamese refugees. The group sponsored a joint dance wtih Encinal on December 12, and held a ski trip and a carnival in the spring. Gig Codiga, three- year club member, was awarded the distinction of being chosen District Governor of all Interact Clubs in this area. When asked to sum up the basic purpose of the organization, President MacDowell replied: “Contrary to popular belief, the Interact Club is a service rather than just a social organization.” set temt ttcSAO ANON DIIS mney tatoo f 4 oe, Pe : z Mr. Jones, sponsor of the Interact Club, strives for “close” Officers of Interact Club for fall- spring 1969-70 are: Corresponding Secretary Dennis Baker, Vice-president relationships with members.

Members of the Women’s Block “A” started the year off in the right direction by selling pom-pons and decals to raise money for future activities. Events that followed included a Father-Daughter Fun Night, held in February, and a candy cane sale which took place in December. Sponsoring the annual Block “’A”’-Faculty basketball game, as well as holding a dance in the spring were the main activities for the Men's Block “A” this year.

CONCERT To “encourage proficiency in musical performance groups, and to create and maintain an effective spirit towards musical programs at this school” is the purpose of Alameda High School's Crescendo Club, as defined in the Constitution of that organization. The Crescendo Club is open for membership to any student who is interested in any aspect of music, with the stipulation that he or she must be enrolled in some sort of music class at AHS. Subsequently, the group has an extremely large membership, since students come from orchestra, band, and vocal classes. President for the organization during the fall term was Pat Harris. His able cabinet consisted of Margie Doolittle, Michele Robinson, Mary Bedford, and Greg Nielson. Margie Doolittle, as fall vice- president, became acting president in the spring when President Harris graduated. The Crescendo Club Council is perhaps the main governing as well as planning body of the club. Besides performing the set duties of their offices, the officers each have a place on the council. Other councilmen include a representative from each music class. The council plans all activities for the group, with the assistance of Mrs. Carol Cederleaf, Mr. Carlton Hanson, and Mr. Dominick Vinciguerra, sponsors and chief advisors. Activities for the Crescendo Club included a September candy sale, which was both profitable for the club's treasury, and enjoyable for all those who bought their goods. For the first time, this year, a Winter Concert, featuring the stage and concert bands was held. President Harris is surrounded by fellow officers Mary Bedford, Michele Robinson, Greg Nielson, and Margie Doolittle. hosBBylists form two new CLUBS Two new organizations, the Coin Club and Tropical Fish Society, joined the ever- expanding roster of clubs at AHS. During the fall semester, the Coin Club, under the direction and leadership of Mr. James Cooper, presented a show of rare monies in a pecuniary exhibit. Members were invited to show and discuss personal coin collections. To satisfy the diversified interests of Alameda High School students, an aquarium club was founded this year.

Members of the extramural Chess Team were under the supervision of Mr. Dale Fredgren. Not only against other schools but also within the team, matches are held to determine superiority, first table being the highest. Chess is a game of concentration. One can take advantage of his opponent if he is able to anticipate his moves. Excelling in the field of journalism were the selected members of the 1969- 70 Quill and Scroll. Those chosen proved their ability by pouring fourth their talents into the Acorn or Oak Leaf. Chris Denyven, Bill Myers, Dennis Baker and Tom Weir of Alameda High's newspaper staff and Kathi Dowling, Harry Paslay, Jodi Poor, Gerry Yamasaki and Gail Castaldo from the yearbook staff were selected as members by their respective editors. Membership in these and many other clubs proves the competition spirit is always present at AHS. Two chess club members concentrate on the game.

SKIERS VISIT pOpuLaR RESORTS Heavenly Valley was the site of the major Ski Club excursion this year, as members spent two days and one night at the popular resort. Also on the group's calendar of events were journeys to Bear Valley and Sugar Bowl. Although there were many other trips planned, most of them never got underway due to poor weather conditions on the weekends for which trips were scheduled. The unusual amount of rain this year washed away many a Ski Clubbers hopes for weekend sporting. In order to make their costly sport less expensive, the Ski Club offers their members a chance to earn credit for their rental and ski lift fees by participating in various money-raising activities. These included an October car wash and a candy sale held in December. From these, the salesmen received ninety cents from each one dollar ticket or box of candy which they sold. Presiding over club meetings was Jim Davis, along with Dr. Gunther Gates, sponsor. In addition to being an excellent skier, President Davis endeared himself to all skiing enthusiasts at AHS by securing two movies, ‘““Moibus Flip” and ‘Ski Vale” for student body viewing. Other officers included Anne Sibbett, Jeff Perl, and Kris Andress. John Dutcher, Anne Sibbett, Tony Padilla, and Mark Caldwell relax from the rigors of skiing.

Last year, during the Ad Board’s constitutional revision, it was decided that Pep Club points, accumulated by those members who desired to try out for either pom-pon girl or yell leader, were unfair and unnecessary and therefore unconstitutional. Thus the point system was abolished. With the cancellation of the point system, Pep Club deemed that they no longer would be responsible for helping finance uniforms. After further discussion, however, club members voted to reinstate the point system and to assist the yell-leaders and pom-pon girls in any independent project to pay for their uniforms. Football spirit was enhanced with helium balloons printed with “Go Hornets.”’ The balloons were released when the AHS‘ers scored and at the conclusion of the game to indicate to all the spirit and quality of the football team. JoAnn Amaya was elected president. Her cabinet consisted of Pam Eisenhauer, v.p.; Cheryl Blevins, rec. sec.; Sue Vinluan, fin. sec.; Barbara Colclasure and Lynn Goodman, publicity mgrs.; Mary Gallagher, Some of the Pep Club officers for Fall-Spring 1969-70 are: Sue Vinluan, Nancy Harrington, Mary Gallagher, sgt. at arms; Nancy Harrington, yell leader.

Displaying unusual positions are the juniors of the advanced dance class. Tal Graceful manner coupled with fluid movement is just one of the advantages which makes the Advanced Dance Society one of the most sought after clubs for girls and AHS. For the fifty juniors and seniors enrolled in third period dance class, club membership was automatic. In order to raise money to finance costumes for their numerous performances, members sponsored a sucker sale early in the school year, and one before Easter. Three important AHS student productions, the annual holiday pageant, the spring dance recital and the all-school musical, included the many talents of the dancers. With the exception of the latter production, the entire dance crew was selected from the class. Faculty direction was in the expert hands of Mrs. Carol Rich, a dance major from Utah in her second year as a teacher at Alameda High School.

CLUB ACTIVITIES Span Encouraging more students to feel and enjoy the foreign language they are studying are the purposes of the French and Spanish Clubs. Planning a variety of fun-filled events including a spring picnic and a pickle sale was the job of French Club President Pat Curnutt and her fellow officers Richard Werk, vice-president, Ed Blom, recording secretary, and Barbara Cotrell, treasurer. Faculty supervision for these and other events was provided by Mr. Demophile Rateaver, club sponsor. Enjoyment was brought into the French students’ learning process of international cultures when guest speaker Monsieur Roland Husson appeared.

The JV’s were coached by Dennis Hennesse and Gary Fenstermaker. Coaching the soph-frosh was Tony Piazza and Ed Angle. Despite having a 21 game win streak come to an end, the JV’s showed great strength defensively. Quarterback Greg Cockayne was named “Outstanding Player” on the JV squad. Mike Miller and Lou Pinkoff deserve some recognition as the standouts on defense. Jim Morse was named “Outstanding Player” on the soph-frosh team collecting seven touchdowns. Carlos Blanco, Hornet end, caught eight TD’s. Defensively the youngest Hornets played just as well as their offensive counterparts. Some defensive standouts were Jorge Blanco (end ), Al Nava (guard), defensive captain Jim Morse (Ib) and Bill Elzig (def. half). Next year’s Varsity will be composed of this year’s JV’s. They will try and extend the Hornet win streak of 32 consecutive games. The sophomores and freshmen of the 1969 soph-frosh team will try next year, as members of the JV’s to bring back an undefeated season to AHS.

Bill Thompson, coach, and his varsity and junior varsity squads raced on to capture the ACAL title. Competeing against tough squads, the Soph-Frosh and reserves finished in second place. In a preliminary competition, the varsity placed first in their division, preparing them for the North Coast meet. Along with the other 150 schools running, the outstanding varsity captured sixth place. Pat Ortez was greatly honored when he was voted a position on the All North Coast squad for his outstanding performance during the season. Tom Weir, Dale Cadwallader, Lester Mina, and Pat Ortez were voted all ACAL from the varsity squad. Only two seniors will graduate from this years squad.

Adding an unfortunate first to the long list of Alameda High School's athletic endeavors was this year’s Varsity Basketball Team, who, under the direction of Coach Marvin Pearson managed to compile a 0-18 league record in ACAL competition. Despite a lack of victories, the team hustled throughout the season, and several players turned in fine individual performances. Attempting to build a unity of spirit within the team were co- captains Curt Jones and John Pearson, both seniors and returning lettermen from last year’s team. Also playing their final seasons for the Hornets were seniors Jerry Carr, a three-year varsity veteran forward, Steve Hathaway, who performed well both offensively and defensively in his position as forward, Doug Pereira, Dane Nelson, and Steve Weiss who interchanged throughout the season at the guard position. Voted Most Valuable Player was junior center Stan Boyer, the Hornet's high point man and top rebounder. Other outstanding underclassmen who will give a boost to next year’s squad were Wayne Keddy, sophomore forward, and Mike Bordner, junior forward, who sparked the team in several close games. Junior varsity basketball squad included—Row 1: Mark McKee, Jorge Blanco, Steve Carmichael, Larry McElvogue. Row 2: Kevin Kearney, Greg Cockayne, Jerry Delozier, Rick Copeland, Steve Grant.

JVs finish third; soph-frosh improve Providing excellent prospects for the future AHS varsity basketball teams were the JV and Soph-Frosh squads. Under the direction of Mr. Rick Gamble, a respectable season was compiled by the junior varsity team. Finishing with a 10-8 record, this very capable team placed third in the ACAL standings. Sophomore guard Mark McKee led the Hornets in scoring with 215 points. Other reasons for the teams success were Don Albright and Greg Cockayne who compiled 178 and 139 points respectively. Defense as well as offense is necessary for a great team. The JV’s contained both with Larry McElvogue leading the team in rebounding. Highlights of the season included twin victories over El Cerrito, Pacific and crosstown rival Encinal in ACAL competition and the exciting victory over St. Elizabeth in pre-season. Leading scorer for the Soph basketball team was guard John Duncan with a total of 189 points. Ending with a 7-12 record, the future holds bright hopes for these prospective stars. Alameda’s best potential freshman team was this years squad. John McKee with 204 points and John Duncan with 134 were the main reasons for the team’s success.

Alameda swimmers start a practice race. ‘ FOR acal, NORTH coast TITLES Expecting to place number one in the ACAL, and also hoping to capture the North Coast title was this year’s Boys’ Swim Team. Under the direction of Coach Dave Fairfield, the squad started off their season by proving in victories against Acalanes, Berkeley, and DeAnza High Schools that they possess the strength to attain these goals. Mickey Caldwell and Steve Payne, each a four year veteran, were chosen by their teammates to serve as captains. Their main duty is to instill a strong spirit within the team, and to boost the overall morale of the squad. Perhaps one of the main reasons for the strength of the swim team is the large number of boys returning from last year's team. Many of the swimmers have had time to mature and increase their abilities over the summer, and these attributions, added to their experience of last year makes them a sure bet to give fierce competition to any opponent. Among those returning are: Seniors Gary MacDowell, Mickey Caldwell, Steve Louis, Steve Payne, Jim Davis, and Greg Roschitsch; Juniors Jim Barry, Alan Mitchell, Brian Thompson, Jim Glazier, Bill Sibbett, Brad Seely, Alan Massingill, and Scott Baxter. Another facet of the swim team Gary MacDowell works on 100 butterfly. which is aided by returning participants is the diving squad. Composed of varsity divers Bob Giomi and Ray Pacouski, and junior varsity men Mark Caldwell and Mark Nahnsen, the team performed well and placed high at all meets.

Senior Bruce Bergstrom and Junior Jeff White proved to be the Hornets’ strongest hurlers, and were the mainstays of the pitching department. Relief pitchers Jerry Carr, Dane Nelson, and Dave Mikami were ready for action, providing necessary and important bull- pen strength. Also earning varsity letters for their performances were defensive standouts Petty Biano and Rick Wooten, shortstops; outfielders Stan Sanderson, Dale Norton, Willie Thomas, and Gary Hubbard, and first baseman John Tudal. Under the capable and experienced leadership of Coach Leroy Bernadou, John Costello, Mike Bordner, and Mike Wenzel were consistent hitters throughout the season.

Although somewhat weak in the pitching department, the team had several outstanding hitters, among them Kevin Kearney, a sophomore first baseman; Mark McKee, a soph catcher; Dan Sanchez, a sophomore third baseman; Larry Haun, a junior right fielder, and Steve Chavez, a sophomore center fielder. Battling for starting positions in the infield were glovemen Gabe Pena and Jim Morse, sophomore shortstops; Greg Peterson and Mark Wheeler, junior second basemen; and Bill Elzig and Steve Sorenson, sophomore outfielders. Alternating positions on the mound at the junior Hornets’ games were three right handers, hurlers Bill Toci, a junior, and Dave Darling and Brian Scofield, both sophomores.

Alameda High School's track and field team, coached by Bill Thompson, appeared headed for its finest season in five years when this year’s Acorn deadline arrived. For the first time in the history of the club, they defeated DeAnza High in a dual meet, 86-41. With the distance runners serving as the team’s backbone, the Hornets promised to be one of the top four clubs in the ACAL during 1970. Jerry Oliver and Stan Himenga led the 880 yard runners, while co-captain Tom Weir (9:34.1 school record in two mile) and Pat Ortez turned in top performances in the one and two mile events. Randy Crawford, the high point man for the spikers, and co-captain Bob Neptune led sprinters in the 100 and 220 yard dashes, as well as holding down the two top spots on the 440 yard relay team. Curt Brohard, Mike Lundeen, and Paul Ratto led the weight men, who, after the distance runners, contributed the second highest amount of points to the team’s efforts. Other top field event competitors were Rod Dosher in the pole vault, and Doug Pereria, who was strong in both the pole vault and the high jump. In “B” competition, the younger Hornets performed extremely well. Leading them this season were Mike Nash and Ken Kruchaik in the weight events, Don Kreiss and Jim Ortez in the two mile, and Mark Ishida in the sprints. Assisting Coach Thompson with his duties this year were Dave Kracl, who had charge of shot put and discus throwers, and Gary Fenstermaker, who coached the long distance runners.

Forming the backbone of the 1970 Alameda High School golf team were three returning lettermen, Steve DeLuchi, Tim llacqua, and Mike Powell, veterans from last year’s All ACAL championship team. In addition to the aforementioned lettermen, eight returnees helped to compose this spring’s strong squad. Experienced league members included Jerry Cannon, Tony Corica, John Funk, Ron Hunter, Don Meninga, Richard Sabatini, Tom Ilacqua, and Scott Zucca. Six very promising freshmen, David May, Mark Merrigan, David Naummann, John Purcell, Mike Sanchez, and Greg Schweitzer, proved valuable assets to the team. Alameda is a likely contender for the 1970 ACAL title as they have held the top league spot for seven out of the last ten years. The championship tournament is a 72 hole total match played on four different courses, Alameda Golf Links, Lake Chabot Golf Course, Tilden Park Golf Course, and the Richmond Golf Club. Other members of the golf team include Ray Berzins, Brad Calkins, Tom Heninger, Darrell Johnston, Dave Naleway, Jeff Sass, Charles Scott, and Paul Weir. 1970 Golf Team—Kneeling: Steve deLuchi.

Veteran netters Dave Lucky, John Dutcher, Tom Jones, Kris and Kevin Lanzit, and Dave Owdom were all important in making this year’s team a top power in ACAL competition. Coach Stanford stated that these players were instrumental in giving the team “strong depth in ability’’, and also that he expected the team to have a prosperous year. Tom Jones was chosen to serve as captain by his teammates, and senior Dave Owdom was selected as co- captain. These two players attempted to provide inspiration and leadership for the squad at matches.

Whether it be the field, court, pool, or track a large turn out is always present to see the Hornets bomb the Jets or Jets squeeze the Bees. In football the mighty Hornets proved superior with a decisive 27-6 victory. The traditional awarding of the town trophy was not done this year because Alameda came out on top for the tenth straight time. Basketball was a different story. Twin victories were compiled by the Jet's as Alameda tasted the bitterness of defeat. Encinal was not able to catch the swift moving feet of Pat Ortez and Tom Weir during the cross country meet held in the fall, when they placed one and two respectively, to lead the Hornet's to a big victory. These and many other sports add up to a wealth of memories on the athletic fields on the island of Alameda. Better friends and relations were discovered through victory and defeat.

Activities this year included several Sportsdays, when girls from other high schools in the bay area travel to AHS to participate in interschool competition; and many playdays, during which regularly scheduled activities are set aside, and girls are allowed to compete among friends in any sport they desire. Other events for the busy GAA members consisted of a bike hike, candy sale, car washes, Father-Daughter night, and a fall ski trip. Planning and managing these activities were the diligent GAA officers. Fall President was Kathy Gustin, and her cabinet consisted of Debbie D’Ercole, Pat Green, Janet Broughton, Chris Denyven, and Barbara Elzig.

Expanding their knowledge of all aspects of school life was the sophomore class, with Mr. Earl Nethercutt as sponsor. To unite their large class, the future graduates of 72 sponsored a cupcake sale, a See’s sucker sale, and took an over-whelming victory in the trike race held during Cross Town Week. To encourage more people to attend and support the junior varsity sports were the j.v. yell-leaders with Sherrie Archibald Vince Washington, fall president. as the head. These girls practiced hard during the summer months to make their job a success. “Traces of Love” filled the AHS gym, the night of the annual Soph-Hop. This dance was the major activity the class sponsored, and proved to be a huge success from the support given by the school. The sophomores have the obvious signs of being an outstanding class.

Alameda High School's youngest students, the freshman class, spent the better part of the 1969-70 school year just adjusting to life in the circle of higher education. Helping them to become acquainted with the intricacies of AHS was the orientation program held the week before school started. Here, the frosh learned such invaluable Judy Sedillo, fall yell leader. information as the school hymn, the school fight song, names and routines of pom-pom girls and yell leaders, as well as student body officers and administrators, who their class advisor is and what his duties are, and were drilled in the traditions of “Always High Standards”, the everlasting trademark of AHS. Advising the flamboyant frosh through the trials and tribulations of their first year was Mr. Lawrence Regello. Although the freshman class did not have many activities, they did rent and show a commercial film at a class meeting, and worked to build a unity throughout the class members that would last all of their four AHS years, and forever after.
