You have played a part and this record reiiects the success you have attained in various goals. These pictorial representations re- veal how successful you were as an indi- vidual at Ayer and as a part of various organizations such as clubs, student gov- ernment, sports, classroom activities and plays. Thus, the Odyssey '70 should be treasured as a storehouse to recall in the years to come pleasant memories, warm friendships, and happy participations. QMQLWM Mr. Joseph House Mr. A. Nick Noskowski Counselors Aid Student Progress Miss Virginia Hurst. Mr. Ned Mclver. Mr. Eugene Lucero Miss Effi emi Spiliotis Helping students select courses that will enable them to achieve a high level of education is just part of the many duties of the counseling department here at Ayer. The counselors work with each student personally so that he can develop intellectually according to his own ability and desire. Their job begins even before the teachers, for they are the first to greet the incoming Freshmen, giving them advice that Will help them through their four years of high school. And for many their influence does not end with graduation, for through their guidance many planned their future. Many students have obtained their goals aided by the advice of these people. Because our counselors' concern for their students goes beyond their years at Ayer, Mr. Mclvcr, Mr. Lucero, Mr. Nicolai, Miss Spiliotis and Miss Hurst devote many hours counseling, advis- ing and motivating our students. Board Sets the Milpitas Board of Educa- 'W tion elected at the time of unification faces a never end- ing challenge. A workable solution to the financial problems and the development of a multi-Cultural program which is important to the community are among the chief concerns of the board. The Board consists of parents who are interested and con- cerned in the welfare of every student and is determined to provide a strong educational program for Milpitas youth. Mr. Gilbert Brooks.

We have appreciated the outstanding cooperation of the parents and students of the Milpitas Unified School District toward getting the new school district started. In addition, a special thank you needs to be extended to the students and parents of Samuel Ayer High School for their patience and understanding regarding the need for dou- ble sessioning the two high schools during this year. A special thank you should be extended to the Samuel Ayer High School Seniors for their leadership and spirit during this important school year. All of us wish them a most successful future in regard to their chosen educational or career goals. Sincerely. MILPITAS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT Eleweedg Edward C.

It has become an idea, a way to sur- vive in this jumbled world. As we entered the Seventies, it was important that each student had within his skills the ability to express his feelings and thoughts, not only to his peers, but to all those around him. It is to this end our English Department works. The eleven dedicated, capable people of this department teach courses that will enable the student to better express himself to his fellow man. The student learns to appreciate and understand the thoughts of others. He is encouraged to express his thoughts in essays, term papers and through creative writing. He is allowed to wander through great minds while reading books and poems. He is taught to think. Beyond the basic English courses which are required, there are others which interested students may take as electives. In its second year at Ayer is Humani- ties, an experimental course combining the studies of English and History. A creative writing class was filled by imaginative people. Those in Drama add life to the written word. The Journalism Class creates and publishes our news- paper, The Sentinel. Culminating the roster of subjects is Yearbook, where the students blend the written word and the photograph into a graphic projec- tion of the year Miss Effigema Spiliotis Miss Carol Olein Mr. James Prindle Establishes Awareness e -L1 L n S .

The student is tirst taught the basic fundamentals of the language, then he is encouraged to develop his knowledge in more advanced courses. The cultural aspects of these countries is also taught in the courses. The Art Department stimulates creativity in student projects. The teachers help the students to devel- op their artistic techniques. In the music department, the students are encouraged to develop their musi- cal talents. They have numerous courses to select from. They can be- come members of the Choir, Pep Band, Stage Band, or the Samuel Ayer Trojan Marching Band. Students work hard in art class. Mr. Robert Burrill Mr. William Whaley Inspecting work. Mr. Steve Walde Mr. Jerry Emery P.E. Develops Sportsmanship Mrs. Nancy Lindgren The Physical Education de- partment is geared to develop athletic skills and sportsman- ship as well as the enjoyment of participation. For the girls, there are a va- riety of body conditioning ac- tivities such as Swedish gym- nastics, modern dance and ex- ercises for physical develop- ment leading to coordination and poise. i ii i gl 1 Miss Suzanne Heer Mrs. Carol Insell Various activities stressed in boys' P.E. e T Mr. Alfred Drake Mr. Ed Cfyan In for the touchdown Mr. LeRoy Barron Mr. William Farmer Mr. Flemming Madsen Past Holds Key Mr. James Brennan Mr. Angelo Castelluci The knowledge of the past holds the key that may well open many doors in the future. In understanding man,s struggle towards today, students can better understand why the present is the way it is and how they may better the future. Working with students, relating the past to them, comparing and analyz- ing the present and preparing them for what looms in the future is all part of the curriculum our History Department endorses. There is a four-year course of study in which all students are involved. World Geography introduces freshmen to the geo- physical and economic structure of the world while as Sopho- mores they are enlightened about the ancient cultures, in world history. Juniors are instructed in the history of the United States. To end their four years of study, Seniors receive two semester courses, Civics coupled with American Problems which will prepare them for civic responsibility and social adjustment. Mr. Jerry Moore To Future MV- Martin Neva Mr. Charles Perotti Mr. Herschell Ratliff Black History is one of the many new course electives olfered this year. Its main concern is to establish a better understanding between the past and pres- ent Black cultural conditions. The Black History class is regularly punc- tuated by guest speakers and off-campus trips. organized by its teacher. Mr. Perot- ti. The Black History student can only offer praise for the lectures and class- room discussions. These students are deeply involvedg and upon this, there is a new Black awareness in them all.

During the fall semester the policies of student i it government were challenged. The emphasis, the students felt, should be on education and not on rallies or money-raising activities. The ex- ecutive and student councils agreed and brought the feeling to the weekly meetings. Acting as a medium between the students and the administrators, the administration was made aware of the existing attitude. The execu- tive council also attempted to bridge the com- munication gap between the teens and adults at Ayer. 5 Dwight Centanne, Vice President, Jenny Baker, Secretary. Jerry Hart, President.

They represent the school at all games and other events by wearing the school name on their uniforms. However, this is not their only function. Standing on the bleachers at football and basketball games, they do hand routines to all cheers and are just as loud if not louder as the crowd below them. As each move in harmony, they created a cer- tain unity among the crowd, entensifying moments with a loud stomp and bang against the wall. Toni the Trojan, our school mascot, must also be present at all games because she rep- sents thc school as a personality.

For those in their second year of stalling the Odyssey, it was a job and a half, because they also had the responsibility of training the newcomers. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Bill Austin, our representative from the Wheelwright Lithographing Co., our photographer, Ernie Umemoto from Calado Studiog and our Mr. William Martin, our advisor, for their assistance in preparing the Odyssey for publication.

During our sophomore year we be- gan to realize that we could work in groups and still remain individ- uals. Our junior year substantiated this realization. Suddenly, as this Odyssey ends we now realize that the knowledge we gained through our experiences dur- ing the past four years is not the to- tal answer but merely a stepping stone to the future, and for this rea- son graduation symbolizes both the end of a journey and the beginning of a greater and more important one. rl ll 3 Seniors show Who's on top.

Selecting one such person from our excellent faculty and administration to be the recipient of our yearbook is a problem which takes much thought and consideration. There is no set pattern into which this person must lit but there are the little t'extras which he adds to Samuel Ayer that often lead one to classify him as special. We feel that our particular choice for this year is that special man. His concern for Samuel Ayer goes far beyond his work in the classroom, and the many V, ,Yi We extra hours he spends on campus shows just a small part of this concern. He can be seen shouting on our foot- ball team, chaperoning a dance, or working his hardest on BYC, and just this past year he has taken on the responsibility of advisor to the Freshman class. But far beyond this is his concern for the students who compose Samuel Ayer. He possesses a very real and very genuine interest in the students' welfare, in their thoughts, and in what way, if any, he can help. Combining our pride in such a man along with the many thanks he deserves, we gratefully and respectfully dedicate the Odyssey 1970 to MR. ROBERT HOUSE. r. Trojan J im Mulligan Jim Mulligan's magnetic personality and en- thusiasm have earned him a respected place among his fellow Trojans. Jim's activities have been many and varied throughout his four years at Ayer and culminated with his election to Commissioner of Athletics in his Senior Year. His athletic abilities, coupled with his de- sire to excel, have earned him a place on the All-League water polo team for three years and presented him with the title of L'Most Val- uablen in swimming. His academic abilities have enabled him to stay high in the scholas- tic running and his keen perception of math allowed him to soar far ahead of his classmates. His warm Congeniality, friendliness and his many other assets have earned Jim Mulligan the title of Mr. Trojan. GN!! Jim moves in on a goal Always time for a friend. Busy at work Miss Trojan Raehell Sedano Rachell Sadanols ability to lead, her enthus- iasm in doing so, and her constant acceptance of responsbility have put her in high esteem among her fellow classmates. Her activities dur- ing hcr four years at Ayer seem endless. In her junior year she served as class vice-president and this year she has filled the role of Com- missioner of Activities. one of the most de- manding jobs on campus. The vitality and pep Rachell puts into each task she undertakes amazes and astounds onlookers, and this same eagerness is found in all her various activities. Rachell is an active member of the Conserva- tion and Guitar clubs and she held a part in the Senior Play. Her sometimes 'tzany pci'- sonality is enjoyed by all, leading her fellow classmates to choose her Junior Prom Queen. Her vital role in school life is recognized by the students and in showing their appreciation they elected Rachell. almost unanimously. Best All Around. Because of these and many more outstanding qualities, wc proudly bequeath the title of Miss Trojan to Rachell Sedano. Helping with the Christmas Card Sale. Hard at work.

Not all these students were chosen for the same reason. Some- excelled academically while others demonstrated unique talents in various extra-curricular activities. The others have that type of dynamic personality and Congeniality that they immediately become everyoneis friend.

The loss of a number of outstanding athletes to Milpitas High because of the spliting of Ayer and the small turn-out for Varsity Football this year hurt Ayeras hopes for dominating the tough MHAL Conference again for a third year. Having domi- nated the league for two years, the 1970 squad had a difficult record to follow. Inconsistency seemed to be the Word for this yearis Varsity eleven as first half leads seemed to disappear by the end of the final period. Although the Trojans Won only three games this fall, most of the team members showed great improve- ment as the season progressed. With only a handful of starters from last year's championship team, Coach Drake with help from Coach Pinson and Coach Burns rebuilt the team around them. Taking into account crucial injuries and some inex- perience, the Trojan strongmen deserve the praise of the entire student body for their spirit, team effort, and perserverance. i 6 Y Vfzrr i All-league: P.

Leading the Trojans this year was Jim Mulligan, voted Most Valuable Player in the league. Every player on the team spent many hours in developing the skills and stamina needed in water polo. Throughout the year, the team was aided with the valuable advice of Coach Walde. MVP Jim Mulligan controls play.

Although the Frosh-Soph Water Polo team did not have a winning season, the majority of the freshmen on the squad gained some of the needed experience which might lead to a future championship team. With the help of Coach Dabel, the team rapidly progressed during the season. Coach Walt Dabel A Year of Results Rick Morehead on his way to victory. Mike Morehead and Bill Brandow talk things over. The Varsity and Frosh-Soph Cross Country teams had their most successful season in 1969. Both teams fin- ished third place in the league. Leading the varsity to its best finish in five years was Rick Morehead who had a time of l2:2l on the Alum Rock Course. Other standouts for the varsity were Lou Fernandez, Cuorden Lew, Joe Frisbie, Bill Brandow, Garland Lee, and Mike Lujan. Leading the Frosh-Soph were Rod Johnson, Mike Wil- son, and Alvin Helm.

Off to a slow start in non-league encounters, the Trojan cagers steadily improved with each game, and in league competition, they finished with an impressive l3-3 record and a second place standing in the MHAL. Two of our three losses were to Piedmont Hills, the other was to Mt. Pleasant. Forward Henry Williams and guard Manny Martinez paced this year's five with their tough defensive play and consistant scoring. Both Williams and Martinez were selected by the league coaches for All-league Honors. A combination of fine coaching by Steve Cain and the all-out efforts of the team was responsible for their success. Rich Toves with another one of his patented passes.

Gary was the leading scorer and rebounder with a 19.5 scoring average and l5.3 rebounds per game. Mike had a I4 point scoring average and 11 re- bounds per game. Alvin Helm and Mike Labaddie did an outstanding job on defense. Alvin averaged 6 points per game. Other players that contributed to the success of the team were Mark Komoroski, Chuck Tolan, Dennis Deverzensi, John Warfield and Tom Murphy.
