Mural Arts, one of the most spirited and active groups at Berl eley High, got off to a good start in the spring of ' 75 and worl ed all the way through the fall. A group of teachers, Joseph Romero, Jay Manley, and Barbara Scales got a $2,500 grant from the Berl eley Civic Arts Commission to have students paint the Community Theatre wall. ' Berkeley ' s Ethnicity and the Arts ' was selected as the theme of the mural. One student thought of the idea to collect images out of the last five years of Berkeley High ' s yearbooks and make a photo montage with them. The design was made and approved by the city council. Many students contributed ideas for a color design until the city council approved one. Then it was all go for the painters. They painted every day from the freezing early morning into the afternoon. Some of the students who devoted their time to the mural include. Zina Albert and Sharon Mitchell, who designed the coloring of it, Josue Zazu- eta, Edward Willy, John Balderstein, Jennifer Cole, Donald Newton, and Ingrid Crick- more. They, together with many others, completed the mural on December 1, 1975. 1. Left to right — Larry Cornelius, Don Newton, Lisa Sand. 2.
