Schaeffer EDITOR ' S NOTE This yearbook is divided into two sections — one right-side up and the other upside-down — de- pending on your point of view. Contrary to what reason dictates the upside-down pages are not a mistake but a planned expression of what I believe is happenin’ at Berkeley High. It sym- bolizes two points of view; basically traditional and radical. Whether these two concepts conflict or not is left up to you. It is not my intent to put down one or the other but merely to show that the two exist. Robert Schaeffer EDITOR 3 THE DAILY JACKET Berkeley High has the distinction of being one of only five high schools in the nation to have a daily newspaper. The Berkeley Daily Jacket is produced through the efforts of th e Journalism classes in cooperation with the Graphic Arts Department. Under the instruction of Mrs. Patti Fisher, the Journalism) Department prepares the stories, advertising, photographs, art work, and lay-out for the Jacket. After being cleared through the Editor, the stories are sent to the Graphic Arts Department where they are set by the linotype operators and paste-up staff under the direction of Mr. May buse. From reducing artwork or photographs, Mr. Larry O ' Hare, Berkeley ' s District Printer prepares the half tones and printing plate to produce 4000 Jackets using the photo off-set method. s� tfi N Vs FALL DAILY JACKET STAFF Teri Tsuji - editor in chief Robin Eurich - assistant editor Paul C.

The band marched to the delight of the spectators lined along the side- walks. Tagging behind the band were several hun- dred Thousand Oaks School kids. The kids were dressed as everything from skeltons to cowboys. The band itself put on a mediocre performance possibly due to unorganization, improvisation and the lack of enthusiasm. The reason behind this is that the band this year is primarily composed of Sophomores who are lacking the experience neces- sary to put on a good performance. But the band has good potential to earn the reputation of previous years. 24 25 GIRLS SWIM TEAM HU 29 t 31 WRESTLING 71 BASKETBALL TEAM CAPTURES T. 0. C. 2ND YEAR IN A ROW By Dan Bach The Berkeley Jackets capped their second outstanding season in a row with a hair-raising 70-64 victory over Hayward in the final round of the Tournament of Champions. The cagers finished with a fine 27-7 record, good for first place in the Southern Division of the Alameda County Athletic League. Their ACAL record was 14 wins, 2 losses. According to assistant coach Paul Daniels, the championship was ‘sweeter than last year’, when the 1970 team finished 32-0. This year’s team extended the record Berkeley High winning streak to 37 in a row, comprising the final game of 1969, all 32 in 1970 , and the first four in 1971. The streak was snapped by East Bakersfield as the Jackets were beaten in in the first round of Fresno’s McLane Tournament. They then went into a a temporary slump which brought their record to a mediocre 7-5. The cagers refused to give in, however, and beat their opponents 20 times in the 22 subsequent games, the only defeats coming against El Cerrito and Kennedy. Richmond’s Kennedy High was the major obstacle all season long between Berkeley and the TOC crown. That was the team they had to beat twice in row in the ACAL playoffs to have the privilege of going to the prestigious TOC. Kennedy was twice defeated soundly, however, by the number 1 team in the Greater Bay Area, the Berkeley High School Yellowjackets. All - American center John Lambert led the 1971 team in just about everything but assists and splinters. He paced the club in scoring with 717 points and a 22.4 average, in rebounds with 657 for a 20.5 percentage mark, and in free throws, sinking 115 in 165 tries. Jon Nikcevich was the scoring runner-up and also gained second place on the assists list. Jon finished with 391 points and his 109 assists were second only to the 130 generated by the passing of sophomore Ruppert Jones. Vincent Trahan and Chris Polk rounded out the starting crew for the Jackets and collected season totals of 321 and 279 points, respectively, good for 3rd and 4th on the scoring list. The reserve players also played a major role in the success of the 1971 club. The number six man most of the year was Johnny Barnes, a powerful rebounder and great leaper. Lathan Pelley, Bruce Tsutsui, Stan Letcher, David Grant, and Nick Abraham all started games at various times of the season, with Grant losing his starting job only because of injuries. Robert Lattier, Larry Frazier, and Gordon Porter, with Lattier, joining the team in mid-season, completed the list of players. In fact, there was so much talent on the 1971 team that coach Spike Hensley wasn’t always sure who to condemn to the bench. The 1972 team will be another great one. I look for the stars that year as Johnny Barnes, Ruppert Jones, Bill Liscott, Gary Batiste, Stan Letcher, Claudell Washington, Eric Wookford, and Richard Moore. -- s TRACK TEAM CREW TEAM A SUCCESS By Mike Stitt The Berkeley High Crew Team had its third great year in a row. It has been the team’s bussiest and most rewarding year with a multitude of difficult races against high schools and colleges. Being the only team that opposes colleges regularly has caused the oarmen to gain invaluable experience. This experience was part of the reason the team made it to the Bay area Championships. The oarmen made their name known throughout California. The team travelled to Santa Barbara for a race against the University of California at Santa Barbara’s freshmen crew. The Jackets also left their wake in Marin county in a race against Redwood High. Another team that has had the misfortune of racing the Jacket oarsmen was the freshmen crew of the University of Santa Clara. Crew is a sport that many people don’t know about. This is unfortunate because they have not come to know how beautiful a sport crew is. When you feel eight powerful oars hit the water at the same time and eight bodies all swinging together, you learn to appreciate the mile upon mile of ball- busting work which is so much a part of crew. The exhileration of winning is probably much greater in this sport then in others. This is because of the teamwork involved. In no other sport is teamwork so important. Crew teaches strength, coordination, stamina, and teamwork. But when is either rowing or watching a shell from the shore, he can’t help but be impressed by the beauty of it.

Many Berkeley swimmers made the top ten in North Coast three weeks in a row. The most outstanding: Alan Taylor listed in three in- dividual events and the Varsity 400 yd. free relay whose team consisted of Kim Plainfield, Keith Keller, and Mike Nishioka. Over-all, Berkeley has been fielding a much stronger team this year then was expected by Coach Bill Wilson and assistant Randy Scott. The J. V. posted an identical season record of 5-3. The Swim Team is composed of members of the Water Polo Team which brought a 22-4 sea- son record to Berkeley High. Many members of the the Swim Team swim only to condition them- selves for Water Polo. Team captain Steve Guthrie and Walter Smith will receive college scholarships for their outstanding ability in Water Polo as did Larry Tessucini, goalie, who is attending U. C. on a scholarship.

C. A. L. Championship. The netters have played nine matches so far and are undefeated. Coach Bragg feels that this team is the best he’s ever coached and could be the first to go undefeated. The Jackets strength has been has been in their depth. At times during the season four of the top players could not participate. Others took their place and did just as well.

Greg Schmidt I ' ll be leaving soon. And I ' ll remember in spare moments of quiet reflections the first day of school perhaps, or maybe basking in the warmth of a Sep- tember sun with that soft, shy girl I met and parted with last year. The remembrance of both fulfillment and sorrow may come to me with the chill of a slate-grey Sausi- lito morning or stay in my mind as I am just falling asleep in the heat of a Texas summer. As I walk away for the last time, I’ll know that the time I spent here, good or bad, had everything to do with the way I am. And no amount of ink, parchment and ceremony can record that. Marc L.

It ' s like putting a book against your nose and trying to read, it gets so hard that soon you don ' t try anymore. I ' ve come from revelation back to blind normalacy. The things I learned last summer have changed me. I had a glimpse of peace and tried brotherhood. The woekshop was an arms length aw y from society and my eyes could focus. I learned of love and myself, of patience and calm and the struggle of caring. These things were strong in my mind when I came back, but one drifts and forgets. The status quo can drag you back and plant the seed s of discontent. Remember as you sit there, that which means so much to you. When the world comes crashing down on you and you seem unsure, lost and beaten. Remember yourself. For you can share in love and honesty, and there are still places to watch peaceful men as they think and work. You can have conviction, self- awareness and love. Just stop for awhile and listen to your mind. Robin Eurich “UNDERCLASS” SOPHS Janis Ballard Juniors ft i $ Jp. Sharon Hickman Article by Cornelius Oliver Berry Jr. This year’s student response to the underclass pictures was unbelievable. On Thursday, February 8, we started to take the pictures for the yearbook. Only one girl by the name of Sherri Gabrielson showed up to have her picture taken. It was a pathetic shdwing considering there are about two thousand underclas- smen. We had announcements in the bulletin two days in advance. We also had a special announcement in the Jacket two days in advance. The Staff had planned to do group pictures with about 35 — 50 people in each picture. When nobody showed up we decided to do a picture of one person from each of the Sophomore and Junior classes. It took a lot of persuasion to get the two girls who posed to do it. The next day we went out again hoping someone would show up. This time nobody at all did. We then decided to use the pictures of the two girls as repre- sentatives of their respective classes. Supposedly this was something the underclassmen really wanted. It s a shame they couldn’t take a few minutes out of their lunch period to have their pic- tures taken.

He arrived, as well as his opponent from the Socialist Workers Party — Andrew Pulley. Dellums gave his initial speech consisting mostly of a request for the prac- tical support of high school students (i.e. canvassing, distribution of pamphlets, etc.) A member of the audience then rose to request a debate between the two congres- sional candidates. During the course of the discussion, Pulley raised the challenge to Dellums of his choice of party in which to run. Pulley claimed that the Democratic party is irrele- vant, and Dellums claimed that society is irrelevant and the matter was considered settled amid the applause. Both candidates feel shunned by the press, Pulley feeling virtually ignored. The reason for this; it is hinted, the platform on which candidates stand. Ethnic all the way. In fact, this debate became a challenge — not the typical power trip — of who would be the best representative of Black people. Both seemed to have the same ideas on the needs of Black folks in this country, but Ron Dellums was by far the most articulate of the two. AEOLIAN CHOIR AND ORCHESTRA t N ! 4 - 9 SQUARE ; A dense zero visibility fog shrouded the Golden Gate. At 2 a.m. on Monday, January 18, two Standard Oil Company tankers collided a quarter of a mile out side the Golden Gate spilling an estimated 1.9 million gallons of crude oil into the Bay. By Monday morning the full magnitude of the spill was real- ized and concerned citizens banned together on the beaches of Marin County, and San Francisco County in a desparate effort to save the endangered water birds and clean the beaches of the gooey black oil. Never before had Bay Area citizens been involved in such a massive ecological struggle. Aside from the Standard Oil personel who were being paid to help clean up the mess, thousands of people, mostly High School and College students arrived at the beaches to offer their help. The beaches were cleaned up fairly well in a short period of time. But to those people who had worked so hard in the various bird cleaning stations there was still the knowledge that no mat- ter how hard they worked, only an estimated 10% of the marred birds brought to the stations would survive. INFORMAL SENIOR PICTURES The number of seniors having their formal graduation pictures taken declines with each passing year. At present, about half of the senior class has done so. I n an attempt to reach out to those who reject the traditional portrait I have offered an informal one. A little insight may be gained into their lives, their interests, and their personality. A few of these pictures were taken by relatives or Professionals, but it was, on the whole, a student effort. Editor Shireen Alafi Eve Bodinger Madeline Chun Robert Chung Featuring a cast of thousands, the annual fall concert consisted of the Berkeley High School Dance Production Class and four guest vocal soloists in addi- tion to the Concert Chorale, the Aeolian Choir, the Harmoneers, the Brass Chior, the Black Singers, the Woodwind Octet, and the school’s Concert Orchestra. The 1971 Dance Production f Under Milkwood, a Dylan Thomas Narrative of a Welsh seatown, consists of 63 different characters portrayed by six actors. David Klein Henrietta Stone Greg Coon Bruce Ryan Elsie Ritchie Gary Kamia TANGO Tango is a very unusual and provocative three act play written by a Polish playwright, SlavuDmir Mrozek. The play centers around the protagonist, Arthur, Who represents a young man that is trying to establish some order in a completely chaotic household. His mother Eleanor, has an incestous affair with a hoodlum who represents the only masculinity in the hole play. Stomil, who is Arthur ' s father , pretends not to notice his wife ' s affair and concentrates on his experiments. His uncle Eugene agrees with everything that brings back memories of the old times. His bride to be , Ala , cheats on him by also having an affair with Eddie. His grandmother Eugenia escapes from the disorder in the house by playing cards incessantly throughout most of the play. The stage setting is completely confused. Furniture is arranged haphazardly so that it gives an appearance of eccentricity and disorder. There are three maps in the room. The first one is on the opening door to Eleanors bedroom and it is a large map of Africa. From the maps it is easy to interpret a political sense of the play. Arthur represents an imperialist, trying to control his family and reform them into what he wants them to be. Eddie, is his main obstacle representing freedom by his carefree appearance and attitude. The actors in the play are the following: Eugenia Debra Henderson Eddie Hugo Blackwell Eugene James Costello Arthur David Klein Eleanor Elsie Ritchie Stomil Greg Coon Ala Danza Squire Mary Decker Robin Eurich Pete Favre Eric Freedman Veronica Gayles Dan Casey Kevin Gordon Geoff Geiger Michael Can Bruce Halloran Laura Joswick Sarah Kridle Colin Lee Gwendolyn Lee Bruce Ryan Stitg v M 4JK? 1 Wesly Lisker Roald Lokken Tina Lund Beatrice Mann Ellen McEwen Juhani Nurmia Bonny Neyhart Kara Obradovic Wendy Oretsky Nina Port Danielle Ruymaker Tom Scanlon Malcom Smith Wally Smith Sam Stevens Alice Tetlow Jon Vicars Todd Wehner Michele Winkler Jonathan White Johnny Haracz Bill Wright Anne Cutler Jay De Natale Cindy Kiddell 1 Julie Simon ASIAN STUDENT RETREAT The first Asians came to this country in the 1850 ' s... We came on clouds of hope as we left our homelands in Asia. We came seeking a better life as we journeyed across the sea. We came to the Golden Mountain as we landed in California. We went to the gold fields as we looked for employment. We stayed in the promised land as there was no way back. We were imprisoned in camps as we were exiled as a race. We watched in the land of promised brotherhood as we were Asian - non-whites. We watched in the land of opportunity and we still wait.

Some people remember George Washington as the father of our country, but I remember him as a slaveholder, I remember as a whoremonger. And if he was the father of our country, then this country is a prostitute. Rev. Ralph David Abernathy I will say, then, that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Nergoes, nor qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say, in addition to this, that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And... while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much a c any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. Abraham Lincoln Huey P. Newton The dignity and beauty of man rests in the human spirit which makes him more than simply a physical being. This spirit must never be suppressed for exploitation by others. As long as the people recognize the beauty of their human spirits and move against suppression and exploitation, they will be carrying out one of the most beau- tiful ideas of all time. Because the human whole is much greater than the sum of its parts, the ideas will always be among peo- ple. The prison cannot be victorious because walls, bars, and guards cannot conquer or hold down an idea. Huey P. Newton Huey P. Newton ' We, the Black Panther Party, see ourselves as a nation within a nation, but not for any racist reasons. We see it as a necessity for us to progress as human beings and live on the face of this earth along with other people. We do not fight racism with racism. We fight racism with solidarity. We do not fight exploitive capitalism with black capitalism. We fight capitalism with basic socialism. And we do not fight imperialism with more imperialism. We fight imperialism with proletarian internationism. These principles are very functional for the Party. They ' re very practicle, humanistic, and necessary. They should be understood by the masses of the people.

A Public Affairs Workshop Jess Unruh Ronald Dellums John De Bonis Tim Cannon The question of womens rights was brought to Berkeley High over the behavior of Mr. Lindstaedt in regard to a student teacher. A picket line was formed on Milvia following the incident. Students and the women protesters argued the question of the student teacher ' s dismissal and the greater issue of womens rights. The women were treated with distain and abuse by the unsympathetic students in the area of the cafeteria.

BLACK STUDIES If Black Studies is irrelavent than Black People are irrelavent, and we know better than that. The Black Studies Program at Berkeley Unified School District was initiated because of interest expressed by Black students, acting primarily through the Berkeley High School Black Student Union, and because of increased Black consciousness in the community. In September 1968, the students expressed their goals in the preamble to their demands which were presented to the school administration, district administration and the Board Of Education. They expressed themselves thusly: The Black Student Union of Berkeley High School in order to promote pride in being Black, a knowledge of Black heritage and culture, to rid ourselves of the results of centuries of racial oppression in America, and to make the school curriculum relevant to the needs of Black people,went on to make 14 demands of which 9 were satisfied. Fear not the number and education of our enemies, against whom we shall have to contend for our lawful right... Let no man of us budge one step and let slave holders come to beat us from our country. Am- erica is more our country than it is the whites— we have enriched it with our blood and tears. David Walker- 1829 We Black people must define ourselves and establish Black standards. By looking at our past we can give direction to our present and future. R. D. Navies Coordinator Black Studies Program Mr. Navies visits Mrs. Hammond ' s Afro-American Journalism Class Black Revolutionary Nationalism involves real and realistic struggles, not only against those who control the very real institutions of this society but also a struggle to reorganize these institutions to make them serve human needs rather than the needs of the exonomic system for profit and technological development. James Boggs A tree without roots will soon wither and die. A people without a knowledge of its past will wander through life aimlessly. Afro-American Journalism , This course is designed to help students understand and produce mass media which relates to the Black Community in general and to the Black student in particular. The students in this course are responsible for publishing the Black oriented student paper on a regular basis.

Mshairi Magere Taalamu Revolutionary Black Nationalism asserts that Black America should have no political, economic, cultural, or psychological allegiance to white america. America, not from a minority stand- point but from being an important strategical component of the anti- racist —imperialistic global struggle. S. E.

Swahili instructor Mrs. Elizabeth Mwalozi Through his laughter and smiles will be best be remembered He brought laughter and joy to everyone Like a refreshing summer breeze on a hot summer day Too soon swept away Like a warm burning fire on an ice cold day He cared for everyone that came his way A fleeting moment gone but never forgotten In the minds that knew him For he still lives unforgotten We are grateful for what short time was known But the warm and refreshing feeling is still owned For all the joys and sorrows that have been There is no other that can compare with Glenn — D.N. Glen Matsunaga It seems only a short while ago that our dear friend, Glenn Matsunaga, was laughing, making a joke, or trying to cheer someone up. Now that we must face the reality that is, in body gone from us, all that we have left is the love and happiness that he so self- lessly gave. It is with this thought that Glenn will always be with us and we would like to take this opportunity to show our gratitude. All those knew Glenn now feel the void left by his departure. When he entered the hos- pital we all felt a drastic change, for Glenny had always provided us with laughter and cheer. Only the thought that he would soon be returning to school could console us. Now that hope is also gone. When we heard about his death, that emp- tiness which we had felt at first became unbearable. His friends could not accept the fact that a per- son like Glenn could be denied his life. He had given so much to others yet was not even given a chan.ce to live. Among his friends, Glenny was the center of happiness. By his friends THUS A CHILD LEARNS Frederick J . Moffitt Thus a child learns: by wiggling skills through his fingers and toes and to himself; by soaking up habits and attitudes of those around him; by pushing and pulling his own world. Thus a child learns: more through trial than error, ynore through pleasure than pain ; more through experience than suggestion; more through suggestion than direction. Thus a child learns: through affection, through love, through patience, through understanding, through belonging, through doing, through being. Day by day the child comes to know a little bit of what you know ; to think a little bit of what you think; to understand your understanding. That which you dream and believe and are, in truth, becomes the child. Is you perceive dully or clearly; as you think fuzzily or sharply; as you believe foolishly or wisely ; as you dream drably or goldenly; as you bear false witness or tell the truth - thus a child learns. THE MIRROR When I was young I served my country In the councils of the great. - But that was long, long years ago. Since then My black hair has turned to white. And now, When I look in my mirror, The face that I see there Gazes out with eyes of pity On my years. Chang Chiu Ling GROWING OLD My white hair Seems to grow thinner Each time I use the comb ■ And though the cold weather Has not yet come, l crave my heavy clothes. My four limbs Tire quickly; My steps Are ever slower, And I begin to dread The dying of the year. My soul wanders afar At times, And I know That ere a hundred years Have passed This hall wherein I dwell Will be A heap of weed - grown ruins.

In the following pages the question will undoubt- ly be raised, “What the hell does this have to do with Berkeley High?” I answer, “Berkeley High is not isolated from the rest of the world. What happens this year politically, socially, and economically effects us all.” To think otherwise is naive. Students do not only exist within the physical boundries of this school. Berkeley High is not a Walden Pond, unaffected by society’s turmoil but a place that is very tightly woven into the fabric of society.
