ARD OF PROL Gail Castaldo, Pam Jones, Shirley Brown, Nancy Nelson, Cheryl Blevins and John Mullen review a case. 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.

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. President Potter's cabinet included Debbie Brydone-Jack, vice president; Nancy Witter, recording secretary; Neil Fletcher, financial Spring President Pat Potter gives his opening Vice-president Debbie Brydone-Jack accepts her secretary; and Harry Paslay, yell leader. address. office.

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.
