I went on my first retreat. There were quite a few instances that shook me up but I think in all, it made me open my eyes to people and who they really are. Not just all around people but Asians . Togetherness and unity, everyone participating. Nothing could break the togetherness that filled the air. I ' m glad that I went and proud to know that I opened doors in my life that I left locked to other Asians that I ridiculed. I opened my eyes and saw visions of me relating and not criticizing first. Again, we ' re all gathered Same room, C334 Same people, laughing, bullshitting For what? an easy A+ or to learn your Asian identity? Tell me; why? To meet with your dear friends and gossip Yeah gossip! not the good about your Asian brothers But the bad!! Think about it!! Do you analyze, despise and moralize Till there is no end Yes again, I meet with all of you. Same room C334 But... for me it ' s different I look at all you people Only this time, my eyes see visions Visions of what this world is about An everlasting cycle A circle of endless criticism But I ' ll wait, wait until you too See as I do Another hundred gathering away In the same room With the same poeple, Till we meet Again! !! 17 18 19 BMBM’ A yearbook should be a book of people, and yet it should capture the moods of those people. The individual characteristics of each student contributes to the unique atmosphere of of BHS and gives the school an unmistakeable distinction from other high schools. As each individual helps create a unique atmosphere, so do the many groups contribute something special to make BHS distinct. The diversity and complexity of the school ' s students allows many people to find their own particular group, although many students become lost in this same complexity. However, it is through the attitudes and talents of the students, that BHS is able to excel in the directions that it does. BHS ' s potential lies within the students and teacher ' s personalities, talents, opinions, and moods. I hope that I have been able to capture and essence of the atmosphere that surrounds BHS. It is a challenge to edit, and to create a yearbook for such a diverse school, but I feel that the time and energy have been well spent.

We feel that Mrs. Patti Fisher is one such person whose work has been overlooked. It is her un- wavering dedication and determination that produces this yearbook and yet this book is a genuine reflection of our own ideas and of our own peticular moods. We thank you for your help and support Mrs. Fisher, we couldn ' t have done it without you. The 1974 Yearbook Staff Mrs. Patti Fisher Jacket staff breaks daily tradition Under the lackadaisical lead of novice editor (who got start- ed in the last summer’s heat of a school-funded New Mexican journalism workshop) the Jac- ket staff scarfed two occasional issues out a week this fall. The daily tradition was broken part- ly under the auspices of “qual- ity.” The staff reeled when quality refused to descend upon them. The inane humor of two- year veteran Jim Pride, the cynical enthusiasm of wild-eyed Socialist Tim Brooks, and the sparkling writing of Jocelyn Johnson pulled the Jacket through this transitory semester of rote, uncaring production. The yawns of Marty Kennedy, the Jock, and Vera Dashiel, would-be-model, entertained us all. Without workhorses Mike the Mormon, Pruett ad-man and Question lady Regina Young, the Jacket would have often never got to the press. Encouraged by the November 9, tab-sized eight-pager, the Jacket changed to a bi-weekly, eight-page publication. Students complained that they wanted a daily back to relieve the bore- dom of second period; but the staff, elated that their paper was being read instead of folded into airplanes, stuck with the bi- weekly. Scuffling papers broken by the intermittent ring of speech and laughter echoed down the second floor of the G and H buildings: a handful of staff laid out the paper into 8 p.m. .every other Monday to meet the print- ers deadline. Amy Cruger hunched over the Instantype; Paul Henkin wandered aimles- sly; Alan Deikman typed up articles after the linotypists were long gone except Robert Burri; the almost controversial Sam Singer grumbled over his stomach and Patti Fisher, ad- viser, between hysterics stood over a page. On Wednesday the Jacket is distributed. It would come as a sigh of relief to the staff, but work on the next issue has al- ready begun.

In an attempt to awaken interest in student govern- ment, the fall Board of Control (BOC) made energetic plans- Early fall saw the “Police on Campus” polemic. To deal with the proposed police program, the BOC held an after school hearing and a mandatory assembly (The first since Clifford Wong’s assembly on school violence) to present the issue adequately and fairly. The students voted on the issue and the police on campus proposal failed to get a majority or even plurality of student votes. When the School Board considered it, the proposal finally died. Later in the fall, the BOC reviewed the ASBHS Con- stitution and proposed some far-reaching amendments. First, the BOC metamorphosed into the Student Senate. Second, offices, like the President, Vice-President, Sec- retary, and Treasurer were eliminated and replaced by eight Student Senators. The Class Presid- ents were kept intact. The BOC also exhumed the Student-Staff Court which was adopted by the School Board in 1971. The Court, made up of students and teachers, heard appeals on disciplinary actions taken by the Administration on students. The fall BOC was also blessed with its own resident muckraker, Paul Henkin. Henkin brought myriads of charges against BHS President John Cosmos Aller. Charges included: abuses of privilege, malfeasance, character assassination, and bribery (John allegedly paid up to a dime for votes !). Although tempted to set up a Committee to Investigate the President, the BOC voted to deal with more mundane matters and Paul Henkin’s charges were quietly interred. The Fall BOC initiated the BOC “Bulletin” to be more informative and accountable to students- Re-election time came for those who were not gradu- ating, and after an election of eight Student Senators from a record-breaking field of 16 candidates, the spring Student Senate began where the Fall BOC left off. The spring Student Senate was marked by two major events. First, the Student, Parent, Faculty Administra- tive Council (SPFAC) began to roll with increased im- petus- The proposal was born by the Fall BOC and would create a governing board which would serve in the capacity of the Principal. Some of the powers of the SPFAC would be to determine the BHS budget, rules, and administrative procedures. The proposal was ap- proved by the students and was taken before the faculty where it recieved many constructive criticisms- Second, the Student Senate created a committee for a Greg Brown Scholarship Fund. As BHS students know, one of the star basketball players, Greg Brown, died from a heart seizure during a game. The Student Senate spent a great deal of the spring semester trying to raise funds for a scholaship fund in Greg’s name- The Student Senate had $1,400 to play with during the spring semester. A committee was set up to decide what to do with the money to improve BHS. Students were given the opportunity to help decide and they suggested everything from building a new gym to buying a herd of pigs to run through the library. Both the fall and spring student governments were profitable, both in terms of leadership training for its participants and in terms of the increased effectiveness of student power. Since 1967, student government has been on the decline. However, with the new blood, the new energy of BOC and Student Senate members, stu- dent government is coming back — stronger than ever David Shiver ANNOUNCERS Tom McElheney, and Jim Pride.

The Speech and Debate Team was well on their way to retain or improve their fifth place ranking in the Go lden Gate Speech League this year. DeMel Tucker and John All er received over 500 points in the National Forensics League to receive the Degree of Special Distinction with Gary Maier, Mike Talkovsky, Richard Wallace, and David Shiver receiving the Degree of Distinction. The team hosted an Invitational Speech Tournament in the fall and a Debate Tournament for the Golden Gate Speech Assoiciation on January 19. The Team attended the Sacramento State, University of Nevada, University of San Francisco and the Stanford Invitationals. They raised money for these invitationals by selling popcorn, hosting one debate tournament, and soliciting money from the business community.

Yet the participants did not let this go to their heads, and in token of friendship and cooperation sent sugar packets and bananas to the other delegations in the General Assembly. This served the double purpose of consolidating O.A.S. and African block power, and relieved tedium. These highly successful three days were highlighted by a dance featuring, Hang Ten and the Surf men, and a magnificent speech delivered by John Braverman in the General Assembly, the only speech to get a standing ovation. It concerned monkeys in three- piece suits. 32 tear John Pope, Alex Temko, David Barton, Bruce Kessinger, David Rice CHESS CLUB The BHS Chess Team won the ACCL North Division Championship for the third straight year. Senior David Barton went undefeated on first board, and John Pope lost only once on second board. Other winning team members were: John Chin, Bruce Kessinger, Alex Temko, David Rice, Sheldon White, Alan Sagan, Philip Frame, and Stacy Tom. Mr. Fiedler was the sponsor for the chess club. TROPHY POLISHING CLUB After 10 years of non-existance, the Trophy Polishing Club is back and pursuing the job of polishing the literally hundreds of trophies won by BHS students. Originally the Trophy Club was an informal organization from the Senior Friends, but this year a small enthusiastic and determined (and quite serious!) group of students have banded together to do some- thing about the appalling condition of the trophies at BHS. The Trophy Club made plans for a larger trophy case made where students, teachers, and the com- munity will have the opportunity to view thetrophies- Harriet Chun, Debbie Arbergast, Susan Doninger, Lorraine Gock 33 CLASS OFFICERS Treasurer: Freida Baker, President: Evelyn Walls, Social Sec.: Freda Daniels Junior Activities Social Sec.: Cheryl Willis, President: Danise Brown, Treasurer: Lynn Creamer Sophomore Activities The Junior class started off the year by holding a homecoming dance at Jack London Inn. The Juniors took first place in the class float competi- tion, during homecoming. Many Juniores helped out on car washes, and selling food in the shack. The Junior Prom was held at H ' s Lordships, May 17th. The Sophomore class didn ' t plan many activities this year. The only activity given was a talent show in the early part of the semester. They planned a sophomore class picnic and a trip to Santa Cruz, and helped in a fund raising for Greg Brown. During the fall, the Senior class headed by Mike Pruett, was plagued by money problems. Starting with $47, the Seniors decided their main goal was to raise money. The $300 made on parking cars for concerts in the Community Theater was almost lost when a man sued the Senior class for having his car damaged . Luckily, the school district bailed them out. Joyce Coverson, Jackie Willis, Joy McKinney The spring officers, under President Joy McKinney, had to change a new policy to get diplomas a day before graduation. The Graduation Committee made plans to have students make a full walk across the stage, with men on one side and women on the other. The Seniors also sponsored the first Miss BHS contest, a May Day Festival, sold candied apples, held a car wash, and organized donations for a plaque, honoring Greg Brown, to be built into the new gym. Student- staff court Miss Dyer, Mr. Dunn-Ruiz, Mrs. White, Lee Huey, Carlos Lopez, Jimmie Harold, Mr. Green, Roger Lawler The clattering of the crowd dies as Jimmie- little Caesar - Harold calls the Student-Staff court to order. A long waited development in student politics — a court where explusions, suspensions, mandatory transfers, or any disciplinary actions can be appealed is on the road. The student- Staff court is hearing it ' s first case, February 7. Plans for a court began in April, 1971. In the intervening year the court was forgotten. The BOC revived the court this fall. Court members were elected December 12. Jackie White, English Department Chairman, was the only elected juror from the original court. The elected members worked out the bylines from scratch. Court infighting slowed the workings of the court at first. Long weeks of conference went into the working procedures for the court. However, they were finished when Joel Andreas brought the first case to the court. The court heard three cases by the beginning of April. In all three the appealing student was found guilty. But verdicts are limited by the bylaws— the court is not allowed to overrule the school rules. Students can be acquitted only when they are suspended for something not in the books or when they are not given due process by the administration. Court Backs Ad mist rat ion Again from The Jacket by Richard Montgomery, Editor Thursday, March 28, 1974 Skate board man David Carp recently got nabbed for 3 viola- cions of a school rule prohibit- ing skate boarding as “a danger- ous act.” He appealed the sus- pension to the Student Staff Court, arguing that skate board- ing is not a dangerous act, and that taking away three days of his education for breaking a re- striction on his freedom defeats the purpose of school. Administrator Paul Daniels tried to justify the suspension. He called John Brown, student supervisor, as a witness. Brown testified that he knew of three fights occuring as direct results of skate boarding. Daniels said there had been at least one skate board accident and argued that suspension is part of the education process. While pleading his case Carp suggested that an area or time of day be designated in whieh students be allowed to skate board (smoke, play frisbee etc.).

Berkeley High students in the news Concluding high school drama careers 5 BHS seniors talk about (EDITOR’S NOTE: The fol- lowing interview story was penned by a Berkeley High School student, Kimberly Ar- nold.) “No matter how many times you ' re knocked down, you should crawl back up, and climb the walls, and get yourself together,” says Diane McGee, one of five sen- iors I have interviewed about their drama careers at Berke- ley High School. All five students are con- cluding successful high school drama careers in the per- forming arts department ' s production of “Marat Sade,” which ends its run Friday and Saturday. CRAIG ROVERE (as Jean- Paul Marat) is thoughtful; he answers his questions slowly. He says working in drama at Berkeley High School has helped him make more friends, and decide what he wants to do in life. He ends his interview with a straightforward “I want to be a professional actor.” “After I saw my first play, it was ACTING. The only problem was, I was so shy, I knew I’d never be able to get myself up on the stage,” says Beth Garner (Simmone). Today, she is one of Berkeley High’s finest actrsses. I ASK ROBERT SICULAR (Marquis de Sade) — who made me laugh all through his interview — if he’s learned more at Berkeley High, or other places abou acting. He answers me with: “I think that acting is some thing -that is gained mostly through experience. And there’s a natural aptitude foi it? I think being in shows real- ly gives you the most train ing there is.” They all feel Berkeley High is a good place to learn, but it’s not without it’s faults. SAYS STEVE TEETER (Coulmier): “The attitude of the cast is not really one that is too eager to get down to work on the play.” Steve started out by taking a drama class in 8th grade. “And I just stayed in drama I just took it for granted that I was going to be in the plays — or at least I was going to try.” While Craig and Beth felt “put down” as sophomore actors, Robert and Steve did not. Diane can ' t say. She didn’t start acting at Berkeley High until she was a junior. “Whenever I see 10th graders that want to get involved,” says Diane, “I really think it ' s good, and I encourage them to start young. Berkeley DAILY GAZETTE Wed., March 13, 1974-17 This fall Agora and Odyssey students traveled to Delano and LaPaz in Southern California to help build a retirement village and to help the farm workers. During the trip, they met Ceasar Chavez (center). Their trip was taped for KPIX and shown on Belva Davis ' program, All Together Now, Sunday, February 24. Berkeley rewards youth achievement JOCELYN JOHNSON By AUGUST MAGGY I-G Staff Writer Four Berkeley students can look forward to all- expense paid trips to Washington, D.C., as top winners in the city ' s “Appreciation of Excel- lence in Youth” program. The students, Scotty Guess, Robert Sicular, Jocelyn Johnson and Glenn Hori, all seniors, were saluted by school and city officials and community residents at the 13th annual awards presentation in Live Oak Recreation Center last night. GUESS, 2025 Grant St., a Berkeley High School senior, was named recipient of the Sullivan Award. He is de- scribed as “a young man who has been able to face serious personal problems and strug- gle to find appropriate solu- tions for them rather than ac- cept them as inevitable.” “He jhas learned to deal with people, places and situa- tions totally foreign to him, to cope with his own feelings and to significantly improve his grades and to begin to trust in himself and others,” according to the judges. BHS SENIORS Sicular, 842 Mendocino Aye., and John- son, 2980 Adeline St., tied for the top creative achievement honors. Commenting on Sicular’s work, the judges said: “This young artist’s wide spectrum of creative talents impressed the judges deeply. “His range of repertoire covered satire, serious drama, soliloquy and also explored several media in music. On listening to this young artist work we found it difficult to believe he is still in high school.” Describing Johnson’s work, the judges said: “This cree- ative young women with fierce honesty and intense relevance conjured up a the- atrical environment of illu- sion, strength, wit and pa- thos. “LIKE THE TRUE cre- ative young woman with talent! She is totally original. She was the author, the designer and the actor. Hori, 2234 Woolsey St., another BHS senior, who took first place honors in volun- teer service, has previously received two Excellence in Youth awards in scholastic achievement. Among the many public services credited Hori is his work as at Alta Bates Hospi- tal. He is one of only three male junior volunteers in the Candy Striper program there and has accumulated 230 hours of volunteer work in only one year. He also is an active member of the East Bay Sportsmen’s Club, which an- nually sponsors the “kiddie’s derby” at the Berkeley Marina. GUESS, SICULAR, Johnson and Hori all receive certifi- cates of excellence and all expense paid trips to Wash- ington, D.C., and to the Unit- ed Nations in New York. Thurs., Mar. 28, 1974 Another top award went to a group, the Agora Mexican Ballet Folklorico, in the se- me division of creative achievement. The group, which receives a certificate and monetary award, consists of Louise Waters (leader), Irene Elizondo, Sylvia Gar- cia, Cathy Lozano and. Rosa- linda Ramirez of Agora High School. GLENN HORI Richard Montgomery, Jacket Editor, looks pensive as Joanne Cho, Channel 4’s moderator for Youth Inquires, asked questions on censorship in the high school press. Regina Young was also on the program which was broadcast on March 23. 43 SENIORS 1974 You see us here standing as if captured forever on this page. But if you look more carefully, you will notice many faces already absent from the crowd; many of us already gone, far from these familiar brick steps and this campus of looming, appropriately ugly, institutional-style buildings. That is as it should be: for most of us three years have made us increasingly aware of our ultimate goal here: to leave,’ to get out, away, and beyond. Now we have ho choice, now at last our cuts and absences will go unnoticed by counselor and computer alike, and we alone will determine when-and-if- we return. Some of us will leave regretful, with slow steps, hearts heavy, eyes desperate and searching, minds suddenly filled to overflowing with three year ' s accumulation of names, dates, rules, voices, and faces, and incidents long forgotten under layers of more of the same. Some of us will leave quickly, eager to move on, with a stifled sigh, one flashing last glance barely concealing a tear, perhaps, but a smile on their face. Some of us will leave in anger, full of frustration and resent, fighting, the world and ourselves, still others, in apathy, seemingly unimpresssed and unaffected by this departure, without ever looking back. But we will all leave however we choose to do it. There is no way to stop us now. As you look at this photograph again you will notice more familiar faces absent from the crowd, others disappearing one by one. And by the time you close this book, we will all have gone. -Diane McGee Freida Adamson Yolanda Alexander Tony Adams John Cosmos Aller Antoinetta Allevato Neil Angelo Karen Ambeau Debby Arbegast Rethia Mae Amos Dannie Andrews Deborah A.

Berkeley turned an abrupt handstand and catapulted itself through six straight victories until losing to the Richmond Oilers on Thanksgiving Day in the Turkey Bowl. Fumbling through the first two games, the Jackets emerged with a 1-0-1 record and seemed headed for mediocrity. But in the third game of the year at Pinole, the Jackets began the streak which took them to the Turkey Bowl. The Jacket backfield, full-back Ellis Williams, half-back Gerald Bennett and half-back Jerry Jordan, finally began to roll up yardage with all A.C.A.L. quarterback Brad Qualls proving as an additional threat. Yet Berkeley fell 12-7 in their quest for a second consecutive A.C.A.L. crown, and finished a disheartening but not disappointing 7-1-1 season.

After losing two out of the first four games, the Yellowjackets proceeded to win 27 of their next 29 games, enroute to their annual trip to the TOC. The Jackets came within one second of the TOC finals by suffering a controversial one point loss, 68-67, to St. Josephs in the semi-final game. This year ' s dazzling dozen plus one displayed the truest meaning of teamwork. Their talent excelled. During pre-season games, coach Spike” Hensley shuffled his players seemingly every three pr four minutes searching for the best combination. When he finally found his five, Gene Ransom, Greg Brown, Daren Davis, Roland Maples and Kenny Barnes, the course of the game was unable to single them out. In league, the starters averaged a little over two quarters per game. Though the team scored a remarkable 88.9 points per game, the highest individual average was Brown ' s 13.7. Seven of the players received All- league honors. Brown, Barnes, and Ransom were selected on the First team; Davis on the second team; and Maples, Brandol Major, and Tommy Jones were listed as honorable mention. During the game with Encinal, star player Greg Brown fell victim to a heart attack on Valentine ' s day. This tragedy left the Jackets stunned for Greg was not only a superb athlete, but a highly spirited person who was loved and respected by all those who knew him. In spite of this tragedy, the Jackets came back strong using their three greatest assets- determination, desire, and class, to reach the TOC. At the TOC, Berkeley placed third with a con- vincing 86-71 triumph over Lincoln High. Barnes and Ransom made the all TOC team and Berkeley High won a spirit cup.

The cast, under the direction of Tim Doyle, has succeeded brilli- antly in creating from a simple script a complex, highly-evolved piece of theater. Visually and accoustically exciting, it flowed from beginning to end - in spite of a prologue (series of warm-up exercises climaxed by a one minute communal meditation session), and an epilogue (a non- sensical song) which seemed super- fuous padding for the extremely short - and sweet body of play. These tedious exercises were barely tolerable, even if they are neses- sary to produce the remainder of the show. Robin Schild, Roberta Waldie, Duncan McFarland, Beth Garner, Kevin Ehlers.

The play deals with the beginning of the Old Testament, from creation to Begtting, enter- spersed with bits of contemproary dialogues as well. Much of the action on stage is movement and mime, while most of the dialogue is produced by a chorus. Perhaps the only major criticism one cna offer concerning this production is that Serpent was obviously too good to have been very challenging. Actually Serpent provides a greater chall- enge to the director than to the actor, for it is not the work of any individual, but the over all effect that is most important. 171 Larry Tims and Tony DeBerry: While in prison Malcoim recieves the teachings of Elijah Muhammad from brother, Reginald.

Rhea Feldman Robert Sicular 174 Trial by Jury Berkeley High School Chamber Singer ' s in-class project, the production of Gilbert and Sulivan ' s first collaboration, “Trial by Jury, is a short, fast paced evening of sheer fun. Humorous focal point for the entire show is an enormously oversized judge ' s stand, which dominates the clever set designed and constructed by E. Diane MacDonald and her assistants. Costumes, by Eliza Chugg, are well done in every instance. Robert Sicular as the Usher is forceful and very funny, a strong catalyst for all the action of the operetta. Devin Ehlers, as the Judge, creates a highly humorous caricature of a corrupt British judge; his haughty entrance and lecherous waving to the bride are high points of the show. Vocally, however, he is not as effective as Sicular, whose energetic baritone is consistently strong. Counsel for the Plaintiff is Katie Berenson, who created her role as a priggish, protective lawyer. She acts her part well; unfortunately, she is not always audible. The Defendant, Robbie Calvert, has a young, strong voice and although he is occasionally a little wooden, he is enfoyable as the youthful rake who wants out of his commitment to Angelina, played by Rhea Feldman. One of the funniest moments in the show is the entrance of the four blonde bridesmaids, Claudia Bloom, Limmee Merrick, Susan Ross, and Robin Senour who trip down the aisles from the from the theater, scattering flowers over the audience. Not to be overlooked are the Counsel ' s Assistants, Susan Bogas and Barbara Chin, who have carved out humorous and believable foils for the lead actors. Finally the Page, third-grader Barron D. Chugg, almost steals the show with his pranks.

The persecution and assassination of Jean-Pat MARAT Jacques Roux ( nick millet ) BHS tackles play, wins By ANGELA PATON The initial reaction is that “The Persecution and As- sassination of Jean Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade” is too much of an undertaking for high school students. But once the production by the performing arts depart- ment of Berkeley High School begins, the apprehension disap- pears. THESE PLAYERS NOT ONLY capture all the flam- boyance of this theatrical plea for justice they even manage to make it more meaningful than ever. The struggle against a ruler too far removed from the people, the frightened greed of those in power, the futility and eventual fragmentation ol any group action, the long litany of demands for the poor recited by a strait jacketed priest, all seem painfully topical. And the dedication of the actors also is apparent. This is an excellent production in every respect. It is presented with sensitivity and intelligence. Every decision has been guided by good taste. IT IS STRANGELY MOVING. It is compelling. It is pas- sionate. And it is more mature than some professional productions. Robert Sicular’s beautifully controlled performance as the Marquis de Sade and Craig Rovere’s amazing emotional in- tensity as Marat underscore the agonizing conflict between the desire for social equality and the desire to preserve the uniqueness of the individual. Simone Davis was haunting as Charlotte Corday, as she fought through dreams and sleep in order to complete her destiny. Diane McGee as the Herald held the episodic plot together with impressive style and a sad aloofness. PARTICULAR BRAVOS GO to Nick Millet, Steven Teeter, Tom Hillyard, Michael Oliver in the difficult role of Duperret, Melissa Stocking, Kevin Ehlers, Steven Lucas. Robin Schild, Robin Semour and Sig Sigerson, but there is re- ally no one person who is not deserving of some tribute.

Purlie is helped in his plot by Lutiebelle Gussiemae Jenkins (the play ' s ro- mantic interest), the Cap ' n ' s young Ijberal son, an older aunt and uncle of his-Missy and Gitlow Jud- son-and various other folks around the plantation.

This year ' s 1974 Dance Productio n consisted solely of individual dances, with style ranging from Jazz to Afro-Haitian to Modern. Berkeley ' s Dance Production is unique in that it offers the many exceptionally talented dancers of BHS both an opportun- ity to perform as well as the invaluable experience of choreo- graphing their own dances. With such a diversified student body, the production is also unusually diversified and exciting. All aspects of the dances, from choreography to costumes, from style to special effects to selection of music are coor- dinated entirely by the students-choreographer. Dance produc- tion ' 74 also included students from various BHS dance classes performing in their own works. Not to be out done, Dance Production ' s master-mind, Marcia Singman also presented the West Coast Premier of an original ballet she had choreographed especially for the production. Dance Production ' 74 was characterized by the overwhelming enthusiasm, effort, and time put in by its dancers, and the energy expended seemed to have resulted in what proved to be one of tne biggest brightest, most interesting and inspiring Dance Productions ever.

But even with frus- trations and tears, it is a genuine learning experience where all kinds of people really get together. The Concert Chorale is composed of a variety of students with different ranges of musical back- ground and musical tastes. The chorus used to sing primarily classical music, but since Vincent Gomez became the director, it has expanded it ' s repetoire to include pop, gospel, modern, jazz, and folk music. One of the chorus ' s main objectives is to per- form. Along with several local performances, Chorale took its annual Spring tour to Los Angeles and Anaheim to perform in competition and relax as a group. Concert Choral is an unusual experience. It ' s ninety voices filling up the “A building every day during 6th period. It ' s gospel, pop, modern, folk, jazz, and classical music blended together. It ' s those same ninety voices silencing themselves to listen to some words of wisdom from their conductor. 187 This fall. Chamber Singers, Berkeley High ' s most prestigious vocal group, was returned to Mr. Barker ' s tender loving care after his one year absence. Perhaps in an effort to appease feeling of guilt and neglect, or in an attempt not to be slighted admist the rash of chorale concerts and tours, Mr. Barker out -did himself, losing a few vocalists in the process. The results, however, were tremendously exciting; the most obvious example being their winter production of Gilbert and Sullivan ' s Trial by Jury . Chamber Singers had previously been limited to complex classical and Rennaissance works but this year ' s group proved their talents could not be restricted to concerts. And, most important, they have made Chamber Singers, for the first time in its history, an integrated, and essential part of the performing arts department.

Students were familiar with stories of Ernest Gaines even before the Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman made TV history. When the movie of The Great Gastby is finally released, American Lit- erature students, having read Fitzgerald ' s novel and learned of the Jazz Age, will be good critics of the film. The word relevance can be more than a slogan. The English Department is busy this year, and every year, working with words, working with students, working for knowledge and enjoyment; surely, relevant to all our lives.

In the Cultural Activ- ity Center, skits were preformed and mini- concerts took place, but more important, was that it offered a sampling of dif- ferent cultures. The highlight of the year was the first annual Foreign Language Festival where skits and preformances were given by students from each language class. Foreign Language: Ms. Pinchuk, Ms. Dyer, Mr. White, Mr. Lorezo, Mr. Ibarra, Ms. Pillars, Ms. Repetto, Mr. Daoust, Ms. Rowland, Mr. Chavez, and Ms. Small 198 HOME ECONOMICS 100 students enrolled in Home Ec. courses this year. Critical Social Issues a new course, enticed 40 students. The class held informal discussions on problems concerning drugs, sex, re- lationships with family, friends, police, school. Students were given 6-9 weeks of leadership training before they were assigned in pairs to speci- fic classrooms. After the initial train- ing the students spent four days out of the week leading discussions in off-campus classrooms and the fifth day in additional group leader- ship.

In spite of teachers and students using the library more than usual this year, the staff was hampered by lack of money for books and equipment and by loss of books. 2X1 L.

The ACAL decided to boy- cott all BHS athletic facilities forcing the Jackets to play many of their games at not- so-near-by Richmond. The boycott includes, basketball baseball, track, and football. The main complaint is that there is no crowd control and that the spectators are often too close to the athletes. Even though other schools have poor facilities, they can at least control their crowds. BOYS RE.

It was also not the year that the Robots of West-world counseled students but computers did play a motivating part in the interest and career searches of our students. Unfortunately, the Career Center didn ' t get the publicity of Watergate, but the staff did make strides in reaching hundreds of students who came in to use resource materials, the computer terminal, audio-visual devices and to talk with the staff about career choices. No secrets were kept from them and none of our cassette tapes were missing 18 minutes of information. 1974 was a year of growth, new decorating changes, increased student and faculty participation and while our staff couldn ' t compete with Dr. Kissinger in miles travelled we did move forward and look to the challenges of next year. We hope in some way that the senior class benefited from the Career Center and the entire staff would like to wish them well. Although inflation was high, our student ' s average hourly pay was still far less than they would have liked and we placed few of them in gas stations.

GENESIS Fran Hunter, Director of Genesis High School since 1970, feels things are going quite well for the experimental school program, The original reasons for the experimental schools was a change from the traditional form of teaching, and that there was a high rate of drop outs, absenteeism and racial tension at Berkeley High. She explained that the experimental schools are funded by district, state and federal funds and a grant from Washington. She said that every two and a half years the experimental schools program has to be re-written and they have to explain exactly what their objectives are and set up an evaluation system for their programs and send it to Washington for approval and then check it out with local authorities. When Ms. Hunter came to Genesis, the teaching staff was predominantly white because most of the Third World teachers left to join Black House, Casa La Raza, and other minority- oriented schools. But she said, it is now well-integrated with Third World members of the community. She makes it quite clear that she enjoys working at Genesis because she says We ' re free to experiment, and not held to the traditional form of teaching that the Common School is. She feels that To be progressive one needs to offer options, and that Genesis, as do the rest of the experimental schools, gives these options and tries to meet the needs of as many students as it can. Meeting the needs of some students is teaching in a different manner other than the traditional system, she said. She further stated that they can ' t conform to every single need of a student because for that they would need a private school for everyone What we really try for, around here, she said is freedom without chaos. r . , , , Fran Hunter feels that the real goals of experimental schools are, more student contact with teachers, teaching students the basic skills they need, courses for students who already have basic skills and don ' t need remedial teaching, and understanding different life styles and cultures. 215 The smHing faces of an MSA class.

Ethan Foote listens to Ms. Myers Bruce Kessinger lectures to his class Ms. Myers confers with students Starting in February 1970, Model School A, offers a humanistic approach to academics through a study of man theme. To help students who are reading below grade level, MSA developed a high intensity help center to improve skills in reading and math. This year ' s average growth in the labs was 1.4 years. Among the main features of Model School A are the co-ed PE program, the strand of humanistic-culture threaded throughout the subjects, the double- period classes allowing students to really get into the subject, the team-teaching so that neither subject nor teacher is isolated, the movement into Washington school where students can not only train as teachers but also as service agents, helping children catch up in reading and math. 017 School of Arts students relax between classes. The School of the Arts, in its fifth semester, has become the performers school-or, at least, their hangout. School of the Arts offers a variety of courses in drama, vocal and instrumental music, dance, and some alternative -style English and History classes. It ' s reputation is derived more from its role as pro- ducer of BHS ' s fine productions.
