Following the Trends Busy working on dances and assemblies was the spring ad-board class of Alameda High School. The forty-seven member class was headed by Speaker Billy Trento, aided by Vice-Speaker Carol Nohra, and Ser- geant at Arms Jerry Ogden. In addition to ad-board, four seniors were selected for a committee with the sole purpose of planning senior activities. An- other new activity was a schoolwide paper drive taking place in March. Other goals of this spirited class are to get a traffic light at the busy intersection of Encinal and Walnut, to regain the use of the historic auditorium, and to earn ad- ditional money on the newly established vandalism project. 1: Sergeant at Arms Jerry Ogden and Vice Speaker Carol Norha. 2: Spring Leadership

Spirit Swarms the Halls : Linda leads the chorus. : Not everyone is watching the game! 3: Who needs bleachers? : Seniors get ROWDY! 5: The cheerleaders show their enthu siasm. : The Juniors present a day on the floor. Crazy costumes could be seen during the entire week prior to the “BIG” football game between the fabulous Hornets and the Enci- nal Jets. Added to the usual Spirit Week ac- tivities such as hallway decorations and class skits were “Backwards Day” and “Fifties Day.” Anne Frey, Ann Alberts, and Cindi Rosenlof were winners of the best-dressed awards on “Fifties Day.” On “Backwards Day,” Elise Moe and Velda Wardley received the honors. Competition between the classes was tight, with the Freshmen “Of the Future” captur- ing first place. Coming in second were the Se- niors “Go Western”, followed by the Juniors “Rock and Roll”, and Sophomore “Syndi- cate.” Lunchtime activities included competition between the homecoming contestants and games involving various members of the Stu- dent Body. The week’s activities were culmi- nated by the assembly featuring skits per- formed by each of the classes. Balloons, pompons, and spirits were flying high all week long. The change in activities from recent years was met by an enthusiastic response. Said Bunny Berny, organizer of Spirit Week, “I just wanted to do something new and different this year, because it’s al- ways the same.”
