Homecoming '76 Homecoming is an event which takes place in each high school. But the commonplaceness ends and uniqueness begins with Blair's Homecoming, an event all its own. Blair's 1976 Homecoming involved a special assembly, the last football game of the season, and a semi-formal -dance. Participating in each event were Blair's alumni, present student body, faculty, and the Homecoming Queen and her court. The court and their escorts made their appearances during half-time as the band played The Way We Were . After the game, the Homecoming Dance was held at The Sound Circus on Union Street. The turnout was large as many students and alumni gathered to dance to the music of the band Renegade , The Queen and her four princesses are newly appointed each year. Previously, only the male populace was allowed to vote, but this year for the first time, the whole student body had a voice in selecting the court. Perhaps holding the Homecoming Dance at a place other than Blair and allowing the female populace to vote will become new traditions at Blair. The court consisted of the Queen, Daphne Summers, and four princesses: senior, Margaret Kloster, junior, Mary Petersong sophomore, Kim Browneg freshman, Leonor Vita. As in each year many of Blair's alumni returned to Blair to look up old aquaintances and faculty, and observe the changes as well as the reminders of a time past. 4 2 iw 'N ti Q i ,eff 5 x 4? a ., JM- ,, M, t 3. , , if i Sophomore Princess Kim Browne and escort Barry Caldwell 12 E F ,L it fi .:, V ii i 2 2 1 2 Freshman Princess Leonor Vita and escort Doug Price F, iii Junior Princess Mary Peterson and escort Peter Cohen x f 5 5 Qtk 5118 Queen Daphne Summers and escort David Pruett. 3 Senior Princess Margaret Kloster and escort Frank McDonald Old Traditions Take On New Aspects LEFT: At halftime the Homecoming prin- cesses Margaret Kloster, Mary Peterson, Kim Browne, and Leonor Vita wave to the applauding crowd.

Excitement Sparked Under the direction of the ASB Senate, pep assemblies and sports presentations were carefully planned to give students a needed break in the middle of their day. This year, Blair hosted a variety of assemblies. During football sea- son, many pep assemblies were held. In these assemblies, pep squad and senate combined to promote school spirit and entertain the student body. In December just before Christ- mas vacation, Blair's Concert choir put on a very impressive presenta- tion with traditional, and not-so- traditional carols. During second semester, Blair's Spring sports teams had a games assembly which proved to be very exciting and entertaining. A l Z fi ABOVE: Representing the Viking Baseball team Steve Link awaits the start of the next event. Gong Show A Smash! In the month of February, Blair's ASB Senate sponsored The Gong Show. This assembly was certainly one of the most amusing and entertaining of the year. The show featured appear- ances from the Country Hick Bill Crosby, the Papermates , Blair's dance team on taps, and even an appearance from Captain Nemo! Crossroads , a band made up of some of Blair's most talented musicians, also performed during the assembly. The Senate's efforts were cer- tainly appreciated. This was evident by the enthusiastic audience re- sponse. BELOW: Slyly addressing the student body Al Clifford announces the next Gong Show' guest. Q s t , A' J, wifi in ie?

The students found that giving of their efforts and talents often led to a special feeling of accomplishment and success as a group. t As in past years, Blair's many organizations found obstacles to overcome, but they proceeded to accom- plish things that were an honor to Blair High School and its surrounding community.

Blair High School, the shining oasis shoe-horned into the tinted postcard megapolis, once again led the field unopposed as Gotham's finest. Yes, when the sun would go down, and the crickets would sing our little patch of the world to sleep, Mother and Father would build a cozy little fire in the fire place. As it crackled, the children would gather around their great big issue of the North Star and bask in its warmth. Ah, those were happy times. They knew that they were being served the best selection of compelling news, challenging opinion, exciting feature, and as-it-happens sports. They knew that the demand for quality pulp had utilized the best efforts of three able editors, in rapid succession, much to the extent that it became a point of forensics as to who was coming or going. it warmed the cookies of every heart that the courageous editors, Chris Hall, Tim Spirits ran high and freely in the North Star this year, although their liquor license was revoked. The following photos attest to what a laugh-a-minute group they all were. fLeft to right, on opposite pagel 1.

Always the joker, Chris eats a balloon at a football game, much to the dismay of Shelly Safford, and Karen Helsing, were followed every other step of the way by advisor Sam Anderson, with a steam roller. It was a forward- looking crew, with all intent on delivering the finest product possi- ble. It was keen to be alive in that time. We didn't have much money, but when Ginny Humphrey smiled on finishing her feature page, you would know that we were rich in spirit. Then Miles Glidden would leave his sports page, after which Hugh Clary would drop his letter to Frank D. Roosevelt. Then the whole staff, out of the clear blue, would gather 'round Grandma's old rocker and sing from an old hymnal And the reporters - what happy souls they were! always singing and dancing. Y'know Ma, they just don't publish papers like that anymore. And it's a good thing they don't, too.. Johnson. 4. When decisions were to be made, everybody added his bit. Here Chris, Tim, and Shelly debate whether a pencil or pen should be stuck through a piece of paper, and where to put it. This became the most crucial decision of the year. All in all, the feeling of the North Star was summed up perfectly when a despairing staffer queried, ls this any way to run a newspaper? The answer, of course, was Why not?

A.F.S., an interna- tional association, sends selected American students to live in another country and brings foreign students in similar manner to live in the United States. This year Blair had the pleasure of hosting Diane Hor- ton, a senior from New Zealand. Senior Cam Peters returned to Blair after a summer in Indonesia and Jean Cohen fBlair graduatel went on from Thailand to attend college. A.F,S. Club activities included a highly successful Barn dance, a car wash, and a pizza night, all coordin- ated by president Erin Stevens.

Play High- lights Year February 1977, Blair's Asian American Club presented a Chinese New Year Program for the kids, parents, and faculty of Allendale Elementary School. The program was composed of an old Chinese fairy tale, which the Asian Club members pantomimed, and a tradi- tional Dragon Dancen, which the members performed on Allendale's playground. The outcome was a success! After the Dragon Dance , the club members performed on Blair's C campus and the amphitheater at Blair. Through the dedicated efforts and guidance of Mr. Richard Miyagawa, they were also able to have a successful candy sale, experience the cultural music of taiko drummers, and many other exciting events. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllll CLUB OFFICERS President ....................

The club's powerful reflecting telescope gave members a chance to explore the heavens. A high point of the year came in January, when many were able to listen to an informative lecture by Cornell physicist Dr. Carl Sagan. World- reknown for his work in collision physics, Dr. Sagan related this subject to such topics as the Loch Ness monster and collision of galaxies. With the help of advisor Jim Hsu, the club planned other activities, including a trip to the famous Mt.

Aviation Moves Its Tail New this year at Blair, the Aviation Club went flying at Van Nuys Airport in December, then visited the Burbank Approach Con- trol radar room in the Spring. Members had a chance to learn the basic principles of flight and naviga- tion as well as the basic regulations governing private flying. The four- place airplane pictured, belonging to Mr. Joiner, was the first airplane some of the members had ever flown in. On the flight, every member got a chance to take over the controls. This was accomplished by landing at either Santa Monica or a small mountain strip at Agna Dulce to change seats on each flight. Three different flights were made that afternoon to accommodate every- one. After the fight, everyone went up into the Van Nuys control tower, where the shift supervisor was able to take considerable time to answer questions. The Aviation Club got off to a great start this year and is looking forward to next year when they hope to gain new club members and take longer, more extensive trips.

The assembly, a memorial tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. has been declared the best assembly of the year and has set a precedent for future memorials. However, this contribution was ironic. The assembly supported by the B.S.U., to make Black aware- ness known to the students did not in the least stop the decreasing membership of the club. Efforts have been made by Mr. Wallace lclub advisorl to motivate the students in hopes to increase inter- est in the club. Good luck to next year's B.S.U.

Political cartoons, comic strips, gag cartoons, and sports and editorial illustrations arouse us, spur us on to action, humor us, and often please the eye. Meeting every other Wed- nesday under the direction of Mr. Jerry Garden, Blair's Cartooning Club practiced one of man's oldest art forms. Members had the chance .a 1. to work on original cartoons, as well as to get inspiration from the political cartoons of Vaughn Shoemaker, Paul Conrad, Bill Maul- din, Karl Hubenthal, and Herblock, and the comic strips of Milton Caniff t Steve Canyon l, Chester Gould t Dick Tracy l, and Hal Foster f Prince Valiant l.

Meeting 3 days each week in advisor Al Larsen's classroom, members enjoyed dis- covering the strategies of this age- old game. Club members played each other in tournaments and were ranked among themselves accord- ing to their winlloss records. The top player in the club, Peterpaul Vita, along with other exceptional players, went on to represent Blair in the Foothill Chess League. This season, Blair finished third out of the 4 schools in competition. Whether in an important league match or a quick lunchtime game, chess provided a challenge to all who played.

CSF Hosts Conference The California Scholarship Federation, better known as CSF, is a club at Blair for those who have achieved academic success. To be a member of this club you must have three A's and one B each semester. Three of the four grades must be in academic subjects, and physical education does not count. Many of the CSF activities this year were the traditional CSF fund raisers and trips that come on an annual basis. Among these are the CSF flower sale held right before Valentines Day, and the night at Disneyland where students pay a set price and can ride the attrac- tions as much as they want. A third event was the annual regional conference which took place this year at Cal Tech. Blair was one of the host schools. FALL OFFlCERS President .............. Nalanda Sharma Vice President .....

Being new did not stop their great ambition of becom- ing one of the best clubs on campus. The club was organized for Asian Students and for those who were interested in Asian cultures. Through dedicated efforts of Mr. James Hsu, the club rose to 40 members. During the year they had many fun, exciting activities. Some of these included: potluck lun- cheons, a Christmas party, volley- ball and basketball games, ping pong tournaments and much more.

The group was comprised of five non-profit organizations who provided instructional aide to high school students in areas such as tutorial and career exposures. With Maria Pounders as an advisor, an elected group of students represented Blair as the Student Advisory Committee QSACJ which carried out the specifications of ESAA. The SAC served as a vehicle to help communication between students, assessed their needs and wrote plans suggesting ways of promoting changes on campus. The emphasis was on activities which would facilitate multi-racial interaction. The representatives were Ula Taylor, John Kennedy, Karen Coyle, Miriam Rusch, Becky Bhang, Valerie Henry, and Karen Yenoki.

Golf Club Tees Off Armed with golf clubs and crying fore! the Blair Golf Club made a sport out of raiding some of the finer courses in the Pasadena area. The club, in its first year, was headed by President Robert Zeke Mazurek, whose major handicap was driving. Hugh Divots Clary, Mulligan Mitch, Daring Doug Ayres, Birdie Bill Crosby, Bog- gie Bruce Banks, Cool 'Chris Cruz, and James Everett, Esquire served on the Executive Advisory Council. The club played at such re- nowned area courses as Eaton Canyon, Brookside, and Arroyo Seco Country Club. And those were just the appetizers! The main course consisted of a trip to Santa Mon- ioa's Sandpiper Country Club, a famous seaside Course. The club also played a round at the lwo Jima fyes, lwo Jimal Public Links, in the beautiful Pacific.

The 32 member club was founded in 1972 by Social Science teacher Ed Taylor. The club is now advised by Blair's own Farmer Dan Robinson, a three year jeopardy veteran. Due to the absence of Art Fleming, Robin- son assumed the MC role. The club also received assistance from Mr. Joiner and some other faculty members. Jeopardy was dominated this year by the Mounties, a senior team. But junior teams Hot to Trot, Comic Strippers, and Herman's Hermits provided some tough competition. The first semester the Comic Strip- pers finished in second after drop- ping two in a row to the Mounties in the finals. Other teams were the Other Team, the College Preps, the Big M's, which we think means big mistake, and Cruz-Everett. Cruz- Everett won the booby prize for finishing last. Overall, the Jeopardy Club had a fun and interesting year, and it was the scene of much excitement for everyone. 15 tc B232 P' A x Q 's I? a S a ,,, tis, W 'L eigl-1 ss x 2 +113 . , '--1 asia - .

Q Make Dem JSA was founded this year by its President, Robert Mayhew. With advisors Bob Salley and Bob Beran the club was able to organize a chapter. JSA Chapters involve school- sponsored clubs whose members work together to plan and conduct political awareness activi- ties forthe entire student body and local community. Guided by their motto Make Democracy Work , Junior State gave high school leaders the chance to meet and exchange goals, infor- mation and ideas. This was accom- plished through three day confer- ences held twice a year with over six hundred students delegated from across the state. Blair High's JSA was lucky to participate in the Fresno conference and the Los Angeles convention at the Los Angeles courthouse. These conferences offered the opportunity to meet with politicians, state TOP LEFT: FRONT ROW: Cammie Christian, Jim Cronk, Bill Crosby, Ginny Humpherey, Chris Cruz, Bob Cantrell, Karen Francis, Julie Parola, Kathy Pursel, Robert Mazurek, PeterPaul Vita, Karen Helsing.

Since citizenship experiences can only be gained by active par- ticipation, all aspects of the JSA program were carried out by students with a minimum of adult assistance. In fact, all law-making, communication, publicity, conven- tion arrangements, budget planning and expansion projects were the responsibilities of the selected student officers. In this way, the students themselves truly learned first hand to make democracy work . UPPER LEFT: inquisitive as to the topic of discussion, Robert Mazurek raises a ques- tion at JSA meeting.

This group of high- spirited students met morning, noon, and night in an all-out attempt to raise the school spirit to an all-time high. But their efforts did not stop at Blair High School. These persever- ing youths raised thousands of dollars through unceasing hard work, and donated it to deserving institutions around the globe. Ac- tivities such as the potted plant sale helped raise money to send care packages overseas. Certainly, the incredible success of the Lunar Lumbos would have been enhanced two-fold had their courageous leader Al Perlstein remained at Blair for the entire year. However, he received a Lunar Lumbo Grant to mine rock in Peru. As the Lunar Lumbos prepare to graduate this year, Blair prepares to lose the finest students ever to grace its colorful campus. And stories of what they accomplished here at Blair will be handed down from generation to generation, and the legend of the Lunar Lumbos will be engraved in all of our hearts for eternity. -Michael Mclntosh 54 i s l CENTER: FRONT: Karen Fisher, SECOND ROW: Donna Beaudet, Ramoan Grubbs, Rose Levy, Jackie Hendrix, and Scott Hudson.

Q Culture Experienced Despite its small size, the Span- ish Club was by no means inactive. Through the cIub's activities, members were able to learn about the various aspects of Spanish culture. The club often took trips to sample the cuisine in Spanish or Mexican restaurants. In addition, some members brought home- cooked dishes to meetings for all to enjoy. During the spring, advisor Dr. Battaglia sponsored a Spanish cultural contest in which many club members took part, The contest concluded with a year-end awards banquet. Other plans for the Span- ish Club included visits by lecturers from Occidental College and perfor- mances by flamenco dancers and guitarists. Club Gains Experience This year the Speech Club had many new members, and with them came new speech topics. Club president Robert Mazurek recited a part from Give 'Em Hell, Harry, while Crystal Hampton gave a dramatic reading from Martin Luther King's speech, l Have a Dream. Some members competed in the Southern California Debate League, which sponsored tourn- aments throughout the year. Among them were ones in Pasadena, La Canada, West Covina, apd Mon- rovia in which the club participated. Through these various competi- tions, and with the coaching from advisor Mr. Rasmussen, members gained valuable experience for fu- ture speech-making. i 1 -.

Under advisor Bob Beran, the club sponsored various fund-raisers aimed at getting much- needed athletic equipment for the school. Home basketball games proved to be a major source of income, as members were able to sell refreshments to students at the games. In addition, the club sold programs at the Rose Bowl and Super Bowl games in January. Though much time was devoted to raising money for Blair,tthe Varsity Club used some of its earnings to take a well-deserved trip to Magic Mountain in March. CLUB OFFICERS President ............

The Club began its charitable year by bring- ing Christmas cheer to children. They sponsored a foreign child with money from candy cane sales and gave stuffed stockings to children in the Huntington Hospital. The Club also made a small contribution to the Pasadena Schools by donating money to the Senior awards and aiding in the purchase of art sup- plies for elementary school children.

The kids never gave up- they always tried. This statement, made by new head football coach Frank Matuszak, gives an overall view of the 1976-77 football season. The Vikings, finishing the sea- son with a 1-9 record, 1-7 in league, placed 7th in the Foothill League. The main problem for this year's team was the size of the players. On the offensive team, Blair averaged 168.5 pounds while the smallest defensive team that faced Blair averaged 200 pounds. The first two games were preseason games and they set the tone for the remainder of the season. Against their arch rivals, the Muir Mustangs, Blair was held motionless. Costly mistakes were prevalent for the Vikings as they fell to a 43-0 loss. Against Monrovia, the Vikings began to jell but time ran out and Blair was handed another loss, 38-20. Starting league against a strong Canyon team, the Vikings' defensive unit was unable to contain the Cowboys' offense and Blair fell to a 21-0 defeat. Again, against the Hart indians, the Vikings were unable to generate much offense and the game ended in a 24-8 loss. Determined to show their talents, a fired-up Blair team won their first game of the season against Glendale, 20-13. Excell Younger ran for 93 yards and quarterback Brian Johnson threw 6 passes for 97 yards to account for two of the fine individual efforts shown during the game. Blair came back to play a tough Burbank team, which result- ed in a 20-0 loss for the Vikes. Hoping to muster up another league win, Blair played a hard- fought game against Burroughs but was edged by one point, scoring 28 points to Burroughs 29. The Vikes final two games of the season were against Hoover and Crescenta Valley. Blair did not give up but they were defeated in both in- stances.

O sf' JV's Suffer Lack of depth blocked the JV's bid for a winning season. Only seventeen players made up Blair's squad. Ralph Crossland, quarterback, David Grant, quarter and rover- back, and Jimmy Falk, defensive end and tackle, were standouts on the Viking team. Their 2-7 record did not reflect the desire and dedication exhibited by every member of the team. The Vikings' win of the season came against Glendale. Blair punched over two touchdowns, A determined defense held the Nitros to only 6 points. In addition to their win over Glendale, their hard-fought losing effort against Hoover was a high- light of the season. The experience gained in this season will greatly aid those players moving up to the Varsity squad next year. RIGHT: Down he goes! LEFT: Turning a corner, David Grant eludes a Canyon defender.

W4 Sophomore's Gain Title The Sophomore squad ended with a 5-O-2 record, claiming the Foothill League Flag. They played aggressively and outclassed the other powerful Foothill League Teams. The combined efforts of the unyielding defense and an outstand- ing offense were the keys to a prosperous season. The potency of the offense was led by quarterback Les Brown, fullback Steve Castan- on, and end Lemuel Moody. Doug Burrell and Will Boykins were the mainstays of a stalwart offensive line, while Dennis Martini, Chris Tave, Anthony Gulley, Ronald Rus- sell, and Robert Holloway anchored a tenacious defense. In the final game, Odin's men challenged the Falcons of Crescenta Valley for the Foothill League Championship. lt was a lack-luster game that saw neither team gener- ate much action 'till the last five minutes.

Then the Vike defense dug in and sacked the Falcon quarterback two con- secutive times to make it third down and 25 yards to go. Crescenta Valley got desperate and tried a screen pass which was read perfect- ly by Mark Lockwood, who threw the Falcon receiver for a five yard loss. In a last desperation attempt, the Crescenta Valley quarterback fell back to pass and was again sacked by Tom Henley and Tony DeStefano, thwarting the CV drive and giving the ball to the Vikes. The offense was content to run out the clock and claim a 6-6 tie. Coach Frank Brown comment- ed after the season ended, The team was very aggressive and never had a dying attitude against some great comptition. Without the help of Coach Wayne Bradley, winning the conference title would not have been accomplished. Ballard Speaks Out The Blair High Freshman foot- ball team consisted of just twenty young men whose hearts were bigger than their bodies. Learning to play the game of football takes many years, and for fourteen of our twenty men this was their first real experience at this great sport. The offensive team led by Co-captains Greg Abejon lQBi and Tom McKay fGJ were assisted by Scott Masterson, Tim Gutierrez, Stan Hicks, Andres Alvare, Mike Thompson, Dave Borrego, Carlos Chiffer, Junior Ceballos, and Kelly Hannah. Our defensive squad members were Phil Butler, Dave Hoffman, Wendell Jefferson, Darryl Lewis, Mike Wooldridge, Ed Lockwood, Jauquin Garcia, Vernon Warren, and John Quirol. I want to thank these young men for putting in many hard, sweat filled hours to learn the game of football. -J.

New Teamg New Coach The Varsity Cross Country Team under the direction of Coach Molloy, finished up the season with a 3-4 record, beating Hart, Glen- dale, and Hoover. The top runners proved to be Glen Cunningham, and Alfonso Jiminez, who finished third in the league. A new addition to the Cross Country team was the Girls' Team. The girls worked very hard. They finished fourth in the league, with a 3-4 record, despite several injuries. There were not enough runners to make up a Sophomore Team, so those who were not on Varsity, competed in the Jay Vee division. The Jay Vees had a disappointing season, but the team members exhibited much effort and dedica- tion. UPPER: Trying to stay ahead of his Hoover opponent, John Flubio pushes himself.

They worked hard to overcome their mistakes and got it together at the end of the season. Their best game was their 13-7 victory over Canyon. The team's most valuable players were Senior John Veszelko, and Juniors Peter Cohen and Brian Biery. The JV's led by Juniors Sam Hood, Bill Crosby and Fonda Wu ended their season with a 2-5 record. Even though they posted a losing mark, they gained much needed experience for next year's varsity competition. The Soph-Frosh team had a losing season, 1-6, but all the games were very close 18-7, 10-7, 5-3, 11-8, 6-55. Curtis Johnson and Holger Bracht led the team in goals and defensive playing. When asked about next year, Coach John Thompson stated, Although the coaching situation is undecided at this time, I feel there is no doubt that with the virtual complete return of this year's rapidly improving team, Blair can be assured of a successful '77 season.

Varsity Rallies For Depth JV Team Takes Second Entering into a new system of scoring their matches, the Girls Tennis Team finished the season in fifth place in the Foothill League with a 5-8-1 record. Under the new system the 3 Varsity singles players and doubles teams played the three singles and doubles teams from each school. This meant that each player was on the court for a total of 2 hours, and to prepare for such long matches, emphasis was placed on endurance during practices. The addition of an assistant coach, Barbara Floyd, to help coach Cheryl Brown in developing skills, was an important factor in increasing the strength of the team as the season progressed. Playing outstanding and consistent tennis throughout the entire season were Lori Call, Vicki Gray, and Karen Reed. The Junlor Varsity Team, play- ing under different scoring condi- tions, where each player played one match instead of three, narrowly missed tying for the league title by posting a 10-2-2 record on the season. With everyone playing excellent tennis, the Junior Varsity team won important victories over Hart and Burroughs before stunning the undefeated Canyon team 4-2 in the next-to-last match of the season. The majority of the Varsity squad will be graduating this year but with most of the triumphant Junior Varsity team returning next year, there are high hopes for an outstanding season.

BACK ROW: Coach Brown, Kristen Schow, Volleyball Skills, Spirit Gained The new volleyball coach, Pat McCummins, had the difficult task of teaching fundamental skills and developing a coordinated team in the hours that were spent after school. Although the Varsity Team had a great deal of aptitude, they were unable to manage a victory during the season. During three important games, the team was handicapped by the loss of Karen Alexander and Cathy Randall. Nevertheless, the Varsity Team, looking back, showed much improvement in serving, setting, and spiking, which are very important skills in this team sport. The Junior Varsity Team, as well, had many difficulties in obtaining a victory, but played some very good games. The C Team, however, managed one win even with a large number of inexperienced players. This victory was a very joyful moment for them. In recent years, the Volleyball Team has always ended the season with a team banquet, where awards are presented to players of valued skills. This year each team decided to buy lettermen sweaters instead. Coach McCummins learned a great deal from her students and from the games that were played, although there were bad days for the teams. However, true sports- manship and spirit were shown by all team members.

Hard Work And Dedication Pay Off For Vikes ln League Play After months of hard practice, the Varsity Basketball Team demonstrated their abilities by providing exciting action against tough competition while finishing the league with a 7-7 record. After the completion of last year's season, the team continued working out through the summer, entering tournaments, and practic- ing daily. They kept up the hard work throughout the entire season this year. The cagers had a slow start, losing their first two league games. The first was a lopsided loss to Hart, 37-71. The second loss occurred against Hoover despite the one- man show of Michael Bird Clif- ford. He scored a total of 20 points, but they were not enough to over- come the efforts of Hoover, which went on to win 60-50. Refusing to give up early, Blair won their first league contest against the Burroughs Indians, 75-66. Unfortunately, the luck did not hold in the Vikes next outing, even though Michael Clifford again poured in 20 points and team Captain Clifton Henson added his share of 13. One of the eventual League co-champs, Glendale, quashed Blair's efforts by handing the team a 46-61 loss. Again, the cagers spirits remained high for the Burbank game, even though their league record stood at 1-3. With yet another high scoring game by Bird Clifford Q19 pointsi and help from Clifton Henson, Blair topped the Bulldogs 58-44 and raised their record to 2-3.

C.V. showed their strength with an easy 83-58 win over Blair. Blair finished up the first round of Foothill League action with an exciting win over Canyon. Forward Miles Glidden was the high scorer for the cagers with 19 points. The win moved Buckner's team into a tie with Canyon at 3-4. The Vikings opened the second round with a stunning upset victory over Hart 50-43. With the score tied 43-43 and 2 minutes to play, Blair scored 5 of their final 7 points from the free-throw line. A low scoring game against Hoover resulted in a 24-32 loss for the Vikes as neither team played up to par. ln the next game, Blair met Burroughs with renewed vitality and enthusiasm. The Blair cagers romped to an 80-62 victory.

Clifton Henson kept the Vikes hopes alive for an upset as he tied the score at the final buzzer, but the hopes were dimin- ished as the Nitros outscored Blair in the final seconds of overtime. With only 3 games remaining, and a 5-6 record, the Vikings set out to improve their league standing. They began by posting a 66-54 victory over Burbank and then lifted their record 7-6 with another win over Canyon, 63-52. Blair closed out the season against C.V., hoping for a victory that would break the 1st place tie between the Falcons and the Glen- dale Nitros. Their efforts were un- successful as C.V. defeated Blair by a 76-61 margin. 3B c,,ff L f I Q 'f Q ...SWIG 1 X X7 .i' X I' I I Aw-'Ulf' me 9 fl JXJXX as A BOTTOM LEFT: FRONT ROW: Brian Biery, Steve Claiborne, Julius Streator, Craig Bowlin.

During this com- petition the Vikes managed a 66-60 win over their opponents in the opening game and a later loss to rivals C.V. ln addition, they obtained a fourth place position in the San Gabriel Tourney, where they were defeated by PHS 79-61 and Muir 42-49. This put the Vikes out of the tourney. 4 Showing no difficulties in league play, the J.V.'s captured an 8-6 record, which resulted from hard work during pre-season play. The highest scoring players were Craig Bowlin, with an average of 14.3 points per game, Skip Fuery i11D, Peter Cohen f10.4l, and Brian Biery l6.2l. In total, the team's average was 50.5 points per game. Coach Ballard comments that the J.V.'s as a whole had enthu- siasm, good hustle and team unity, which Coach Buckner will inherit next fall. After lots of practice during the summer and fall, the Sophomores turned out a season of 15 wins and 7 losses. The team worked hard and played extremely well against Bur- roughs in the Christmas tournament and also against C.V. and Muir. According to Coach Oscar Palmer, They'll make a fine Varsity squad by the time they're Seniors. XX N we ww 'N 'Gm X K gs - paw k x ' QR f 1- . 5. j -.'r ,ks 2 gm F My K fi? E a bg 5 ?

Team Pulls lt Through The Girl's Basketball Team this year exhibited determination and pride as they battled strong Foothill League opponents. Practicing from 6:30 to 8:40 in the morning, Coach Pat lVlcCum- mins had the job of coaching Varsity and Junior Varsity. Both teams had difficulties at first gaining a victory, but pulled it through towards the end- Varsity winning one game and Junior Varsity winning three. The Varsity victory came against Burbank. Led by Charisse Brown with twenty points, the Vikes downed the Bulldogs 48-39. The high scorers on the Varsity Team were guard Charisse Brown and center Pat Francis with Brigitte Delmar, Sandy Franklin, and Tina Cooper making strong contribu- tions to the team. The Junior Varsity seemed to have better luck. Their victories came against Hart, Canyon, and Burbank, with Lanita Jones, Diane Thomas, and Rachel Graham having the best performances in league play. Through their victories and defeats the girls showed excellent examples of what team players should represent. The experience gained should help to make the Girl's Basketball Team much better next year. LEFT: Undaunted by her adversaries, Diane Thomas uncorks a short jumper. Q, 5345. -. lt. wt. Y . Small But Strong With new coach Bruce Kocsis and a small squad, the Swim team worked extra hard to prepare for their meets. They went 5-3 in league with close meets against Hart and Hoover. The Varsity team was small in number but had lots of power. Shelly Johnson, the only senior on the team, swam freestyle along with Juniors Peter Schaefer 1500 yd.l, Fernando Gallud 1200 yd.i, and Matt Lovitt l100 yd.i. John Hoffman and Andy Carreon were outstanding in the fly and backstroke events. Peter Cohen was the best in the breast- stroke with PeterPaul Vita and Fonda Wu earning points for the team also. The Soph-frosh team lost most of their events because many of the team members were moved up to the Varsity squad to help them score points. Don Hendrix, a fresh- man, was the star of the team, but he usuallyswam with Varsity. He did exceptionally well in breaststroke events and in the individual medley. Mike Schaefer was their freestylist. Curtis Johnson placed in many backstroke events and Holger Bracht was excellent in the breast- stroke.

I O it Smashing Success Hopes ran high among members of the Tennis Team for a possible league championship. Many of the players had kept in shape before the start of the season by entering numerous tournaments. Behind the singles playing of seniors John Smeby, Adam Taylor, Bobby Jasper, sophomore George Lee, and the doubles teams of Rick Esbenshade-Steve Mills and Doug Price-Mike Shirley, the team posed a threat to other league contenders Burroughs and Hoover. Playing Glendale early in the season, the team was the victim of a loss as the result of illegal coach- ing interference from the sidelines. Blair filed a protest and a decision was made to replay the match later on in the season. Hampered by illnesses, the team narrowly lost to Burroughs but came right back to crush Burbank 181!4 to 92!4. ln one of the most important matches of the season, the Blair team lost to Hoover, their main competition for the league title. Figuring that they would win the rematch with Glen- dale, the team, with only two league losses, pulled together and became determined to be the victor in all of their remaining matches. Taking a break from League action, the team, along with members of the Girls Tennis Team, planned and played in the annual Tenn-A-Thon. The money made from this fund raiser went towards improving the condition of the tennis courts.

In the Huntington Beach Relays, Glenn Cunningham ran the best high school 880 in the nation with a time of 1:54.6! Ftamoan Grubbs competed in the triple jump and in the 330 low hurdles.

With practices shortened by darkness and rain, the Junior Varsi- ty Baseball team, under the direc- tion of Coach Luis Brambila, exper- ienced a frustrating season. Start- ing pre-league with wins over PHS and South Pasadena, the Vikings fell in four of their remaining six games. The team entered league competition with a 4-5 record. Finding the league games much tougher, the JV's lost five of their first six league matches, managing a tie with Burroughs. Although the morale of the players became low, they constantly played the last few innings loose and easy to keep the spirit of a possible win alive. Ralph Crossland, Dwayne Ellis, and Rene Perez were strong contributors to the teams' efforts. Dwayne had the best batting average and Chris Cruz struck out only twice in over 14 games. The Frosh-Soph Baseball team was highly rated by Coach Omer Plante. With Steve Williams, Eddie Seeker, and Marty Garcia as the most consistent players, the team, as a member of the Rio Hondo League, played excellent baseball. In pre-league, the team record was 1-4 but by the time league action began, the Frosh-Soph squad had gained valuable experience and went on to win three of their first four league games. Strong Team Excels With ten players returning from last year's second place squad, the Badminton Team was well prepared for another out-standing season. Led by seniors Loranne Klausmeier, Cathy Shufeldt, and Nancy Unruh, the team held daily after school practices to ensure that all players were ready for each upcoming match. The addition of assistant coach Sandy Haskell was a great asset to the team. Having been in the CIF finals last year representing Cres- centa Valley, she brought excellent drills and strategy maneuvers to practices that were a benefit to the entire team. The toughest competition came from Hoover and Crescenta Valley but the hard work and dedication that was put into each practice paid off as the Badminton Team proved to be one of the best in the league.

Practice Makes Perfect Just as in the past years, Blair's Dance Production performed ex- ceptionally well with the assistance of instructor Mrs. deForest. With twenty experienced members on the team, many hours were spent perfecting dance productions that would take place during or after school. Such places of performances this year were Cal Poly School, Muir High School, Leuzinger High School twhere tough competition was in- volvedt, and Blair High School LEFT: Performing in front of the Student Body in the Gong Show, Lupita Luna leads the dancers in a tap dance. where an excellent show was put on for three hundred people.

The team was led by top dancers and choreographers Clas- sie Ferguson, Elizabeth Kennedy, Tami DuCre, and Francis Green. Throughout the year the girls demonstrated their abilities and had a successful and rewarding season. Team Benefits From Skills This year's softball team faced' a new beginning due to a change of coaches. With the loss of Varsity Coach Sue Parsons, Pat McCum- mins had the job of coaching the Varsity Team, while newly appoint- ed Miss Watson coached Junior Varsity. Both coaches devoted much time to developing an aware- ness of strategy among the girls, while continuing to stress the fun- damentals. Difficulties were also encoun- tered by our softball team. Not only did McCummins coach softball, but basketball as well. This situation left the team to work twice as hard from 1:30 to 5:O0,for only three days a week. The other two days both coach and team played basketball. Some of the girls were on both teams! Despite all this the girls were still able to develop softball skills. The teams were strong, united in spirit, and had fun throughout the season. RIGHT: During after school practice, Coach Pat McCummins demonstrates how to place hit the ball.

They were unable to work out at the beginning of the season because the pool broke down. The girls were able to overcome these difficulties though, and get back in shape for the remainder of the season. The team was led by a junior, Mary Peterson, who was the team captain, a senior, Jackie Hendrix, the co-captain, and two so- phomores, Kathleen Fisher and Jennie Hendrix. With most of the varsity team returning, the team should still be strong next year. Young But Powerful Team Succeeds The Girls Track team was a very young team this year but Coach DeForest was pleased with the way they performed. Much of last year's team graduated, but the new freshmen on- the team made up for the loss, especially in the long distance events. The long distance team was the strongest it has ever been. This was due to the aid of freshmen Linda Seeker, who ran the two mile and the mile, Ula Taylor, who ran the mile and 880, and Andrea Harpole in the mile. The returning Varsity member who ran distance was Karen Francis. The sprinters weren't as strong as they had been in recent years, but they were still very successful in league competition. Lenice Sned- den, Rachel Lorenzo, and team captain Rhonda Brothers were the top sprinters. Mrs. DeForest has high hopes for next year's team because only one girl will be leaving, senior Donna Beaudet. She was one of the top 440 and 880 runners on the team this year. Mrs. DeForest believes the team can only get better. UPPER RIGHT: In the 440 yard relay, Lenice Snedden does her best to catch her oppon- ent.

Parcell This year the SAGA staff con- ducted an extensive interview with Principal Charles Parcell. We would like to share with you some of the excerpts from his interview. SAGA: What specific changes need to be made in order to make Blair a more educationally sound school? PARCELL: I feel we have to deal in the area of a new concept which I call new realism . I think we have to possibly step away from the traditional concepts which in- volve the basic SR type things and see what is really practical for today's students. Traditional education is good, but in today's society it's not always the answer. To meet the needs of the students who are not planning to attend college, we should teach the traditional things yet at the same time, pursue career types of education. SAGA: What is the most demanding task you face daily and perhaps over the year? PARCELL: I like to be involved in things and I think the most demanding task is to meet the needs of the students as well as parents and faculty. This is one of my reasons for wanting to become principal. I feel I'm geared in that direction. The job is very demand- ing but I would like to improve the morale of all people involved with Blair. This will take alot of time and thought. SAGA: What gives you the most personal pleasure in your work? PARCELL: I think planning something, working with the management and staff, putting together a program from a philosophy and seeing it carried out, is the most pleasing part of be- ing involved in school administra- tion. Naturally those things that I do myself and I think up myself give me the greatest personal satisfac- tion. ABOVE: At a breakfast given by Norm UPPER RIGHT: Enjoying a friendly conver- Morrow, Chuck parcel' chats with Sam sation, Darlene Briggs talks over school Anderson. matters with Chuck Parcell and Sam Ander- son. SAGA: Can you be specific about your goal of having a stronger P.E. program? PARCELL: First, I feel that we have a fine program now. By stronger, I mean I would like to see more kids involved in different areas of Physical Education. We need to put more emphasis on sports which can be shared with a person's family in later years. Things like golf and tennis. Even skiing is good. I think that in the past we have failed in this respect. When I was in high school, for four years I learned to knock someone down on a football field. When I married, I had to go back and pick up recreational sports which I can now share with my family. I would like to see more of this kind of program here at Blair. SAGA: I know from ex- perience that a number of students are in fact against you. Are you in- terested in improving your relation with them? PARCELL: Yes. When teachers have asked me to talk to their classes about problems here at Blair, I have been more than will- Ing to do so. I am always willing to l2P9R9?lW7C?ll29l9lL talk to students and help them in any way that I can. But I have had a stigma put on me as the dean, as the bad guy, as the person who won't listen. All that is part of being the dean. As the dean, I was fair but firm, and didn't compromise. As principal, I operate the same way but in other areas of concern. l'm sure I have other areas of concern. I'm sure I have an image from back when I first came to Blair that will take time to overcome. SAGA: We recognize that be- ing principal ofa high school is not an easy task. What makes it worth it? PARCELL: I think the joy of working in all areas of education is what makes it worth while. I have the opportunity of working not only with students but parents, teachers and the community. I have enjoyed the experience of observing different classrooms and different teaching techniques this year and I feel teachers have the ability to turn people on. To see this is really great. This year as principal has opened my eyes in many areas. By Janice Spindt Assuming the responsibility of directing a student body and their instructors in their varied fields and activities has presented a marvelous opportunity and challenge for me. Without you, it wouldn 't ha ve been possible. I wish you, my first graduating class, good health, much happiness and success. -Charles Parcel! FIIIIIITIQIWT IMQIWCEIPIQIIILI -FQ' There are a lot of things lack- ing in education today. One of the main things is the lack of warmth generated by teachers towards students and vice versa. People have to feel important, to feel loved. lf I can tell someone I care for them and make them feel like a person. . . thats important. lenioy people, and I have enjoyed the challenge of being assistant prin- cipal in charge of activities. One of my bright spots this year has been with the A.S.B. They're a great group of people. l'd like to think that the teachers and administrators will meet the needs of students on campus, but being realistic, we can't. I feel people expect too much from a school. Home is the crucial aspect of changing behavior patterns. -Norm Morrow My best wishes to the class of 1977 for their significant con- tributions to Blair High School. The efforts in scholarship, athletics, music and other class activities leave a positive image for future classes at Blair. Sic transit gloria mundi.

He's not prejudiced towards anyone and gives everyone a fair chance. A lot of people really seem to like him for he has good rap- port with the students. -Anonymous Student 1 l C? UWVIEL RU Who'?? QUESTION: Who at Blair are always ready to answer at the first call for help from a student? They are kind and friendly people per- forming an odd variety of jobs.

CHFE ERDPMQQ IZKQWFIF Maintenance Cleans Up The Blair custodians, gar- deners, cafeteria staff, and campus aides all performed their great ser- vice to Blair once again by doing the dirty work that had to be done around the school. These jobs ranged from cleaning up the amphitheater after lunchtime to changing lightbulbs: from prepar- ing lunches for students and teachers to saying, use the tunnel, please. Since much of the work was done while students were in class, many failed to realize that the Blair maintenance staff was an im- portant factor in keeping the school running smoothly.

IUPIQ QZ ITQQXFIF Helping Hands Providing aid to students and faculty was the primary respon- sibility of the secretarial staff at Blair. When confronted with stu- dent and staff problems, the secretaries could be depended upon to supply the needed infor- mation. On the other hand, the librarians distributed textbooks, filed numerous book cards, kept hundreds of books in order to find references for students who needed help. ln addition to this helpfulness, the nurse was always ready, willing, and able to aid troubled students in need. Having the ability and know how, the secretaries, librarians, and nurse, rendered a great deal of assistance and proved to be very valuable to Blair.

Dur- ing all periods ofthe day, students could be found creating mini- masterpieces with pen and ink, paint and brush, and pencil. But these masterpieces usually didn't come about easilyg only after repeated and frequently un- successful attempts were the final results accepted by the artist. Other masterpieces were made by the students in jewelry, sign paint- ing, and pottery classes.

These skills, which include typing, shorthand, man- ipulation of business machines, and fundamentals of accounting, will also enable the students to pursue advanced business education.

This year has been no exception. With the aid of special equipment and teachers, a number of students with physical handicaps were able to overcome situations that other students may have taken for granted. A deaf or blind student who enrolls in a special class for at least one period a day will receive help in areas that might have been missed in a regular class, or he may new device which learn about a could help him with his handicap.

Now, you're on a bobsled and it's snowing out and it's cold. OK, go! IA Chorus Linei Lyric by Edward Kleban For the drama students, their first experiences were similar to this, but not exactly. Much hard work was involved in bringing out the best of these students' acting abilities. The first step was im- provisationsg maybe not a bobsled, but would you believe a washer, a vacuum cleaner, or even a bathroom tub? Think of that if you will! Then there's reading - not as easy a task as it may seem. lt takes real talent to actually become a totally different character.

EW CGDILMIFW English Excells For years the English Depart- ment has been considered one of the many assets of the well- rounded program at Blair. This year was no exception. The interest and excitement shown by teachers was reflected in the students' essays, stories, and above all, extra curricular activities. One such activity was the Stratford- On-Avon group. This was formed by students interested in reciting the works of Shakespeare, Coler- idge, Aristophanes, just to name a few. They could usually be found atop any make-shift platform with their arms in a constant flurry. The hopes of students to be prepared for college level work motivated teachers to stress the importance of grammar and essay writing.

Cheese souffles, cherries jubilee, and lobster thermadour may not have been part of the daily menu in the Blair cooking classes, but the students did acquire skills which gave them the confidence to try other appetizing dishes. Starting with simple foods such as omelets and tacos, they advanced to more difficult entrees like fried chicken and casseroles. But more was learned than just preparing the meals: nutritional knowledge and shopping awareness was taught to students who were faced with their upcoming independence. With the rising costs of store bought clothes, many students found that creating their own war- drobe was not only less expensive, but also gave them satisfaction in personal accomplishments. ln addi- tion to learning the basics of sewing, they also gained consumer skills, experience in operating sewing machines, and designing tech- niques.

WFMWWHEWYWHWTWCI Math Classes Add Up Another Year This year, Blair once again kept its tradition of providing a broad field of study in math, one of the schooI's most rigorous courses. Whether it was the math proficiency student, anxious to learn the basic concepts in order to go on to pre-algebra, or just to graduateg the algebra and geometry student, climbing the ladder to attain the ultimate pinnacle of advanced mathg or the pre-calculus student, working diligently for three years to reach calculus, all experienced the triumphs and frustrations of study- ing math. Heading the math department this year was Ms. Judy Taylor. Under her leadership, teachers managed to guide their students through a year consisting of what often seemed like an infinite number of problems, tests and quizzes. While math classes themselves were quite varied, each student felt the personal satisfaction of adding up yet another year of math. ix if if il' 'f 'l 'Y a J? . 4 T ft ' A. - t ' jk y Mathematics ls The Alphabet With Which God Has Written The Universe Galileo Mr Larsen OPPOSITE FAR LEFT: Although most math classes were usually under a teacher's watchful eye, students somehow managed to pass notes around the classroom.

With the beginning of the second semester, the band was assigned a new director, Mr. David Leehy. He took on the responsibility of rebuilding the band to its former standing. Challenged by a lack of in- struments and considerably small classes, the year was basically spent on mending and tying together loose ends. The spirited musicians for- ming the Drum Corp and Tuba Section added much excitement to school assemblies and football games. ff 147 CCIFW IQPUI qw .1 I .

Such were the feelings and experiences of the choral depart- ment this year. After performing one of the most successful Christmas concerts given in past years, high hopes were set on the annual production of Kaleidoscope given in late spring. Dedicated singers, hard work and a devoted teacher were the main ingredients of the show which featured portions of new and old Broadway hits such as A Chorus Line , Oliver , and The Most Happy Fella . CH EM! Busy Year! Although practices for the Spring Show took up much of the time during school hours, that did not stop the Blair Chorus from continuing to perform at other functions.

Among the courses offered were Current Affairs, Shap- ing of Western Society, Student Law En- forcement, and Urban Problems. There were even classes that were not set in a classroom. These classes were Applied Behavioral Science, which involved tutoring at Allendale, and Community involvement, an extension of the government class, which gave students the opportunity to volunteer their services to the community. Of course Blair still offered the old timers: U.S. Government, History, and World Geography. By being in the Senate, many students were able to voice their opinions and help run the school. During the presidential elec- tion, debates between candidates hosted by department chairman Jess Hughston, ac- quainted others with the Issues. When Blair's own Bob Salley ran for Congress, those who helped in the campaign dis- covered the effort and commitment it takes to try for a political office. Whether it was in the classroom or out, the Social Science Department gave many students ex- periences that opened new doors. ABOVE LEFT: Lt.

All of a sudden it became important to pull the class together and work hard towards their goals. With a de- termination to succeed, this year's Junior Class was one of the most spirited classes at Blair, claiming the Spirit Shield in an early assembly. Many fund raisers were ini- tiated by the Fall and Spring Cabinets in order to boost the class towards its goal of 81,500 Among these were a candy sale, a carwash, a rummage sale and a mistletoe sale at Christmas time. By the end of the year they had surpassed their goal and had acquired more experience, better knowledge and increased class spirit.

The first was to raise enough money so that they could provide the class of '79 with a memorable Senior Prom.

Freshmen Get lt Together Lost in the confusion of a new school, new faces, and new teachers, the Freshman Class seemed to look in amazement at the happenings around them. But not for long. Little time passed before this group of students got them- selves together and started to prepare for the new and exciting year ahead. With the help of their advisor Mr. Joe McFadden, the first fund raising event the class sponsored was to provide the much needed refreshments at Blair's homecom- ing dance. Later in the semester, the Freshmen outhustled the Senior Class by sponsoring a Super Bowl ticket raffle which helped to boost their treasury department consider- ably. But the work did not stop there for when Spring came around, new Blair High T-shirts could be found un. around campus as the Freshmen continued to apply their salesmen abilities. Raising money, however, was not the only activity these students engaged themselves in. With the new-found independence and choices that high school gave them, many students joined in on the countless number of clubs around campus. They became leading par- ticipants in sports and music, and 'added new enthusiasm to football games, the ASB, and the general every-day events around Blair. The 1977 Freshmen Class lost no time in the confusion which usually accompanies the first year of high school. They lookforward to three more years at Blair and will always look back upon their Fresh- men year with fond memories. ...it -- .. :FP ABOVE: Freshman Club Officers: FRONT: Ula Taylor.

Indeed we may say that from these high school experiences we have gained valuable insights and have discovered perhaps, some goals for our future. Participation in activities has given us an ap- preciation of demands of leadership. And whether a senator, dancer, football player, musician, or journalist, we have experienced being a member of a group. Other activities will also find places in our memories. The hot summer days, the lunch hours spent looking for something to occupy us, the long conversations with friends, homecoming, club meetings, pep rallies, and for seniors, the prom. We have many memories of sports events- victories and defeats. The faculty members who really cared and made ug .og .ng .og tltl lilb i Hs gona 1 , N. a . .

All that we see, feel, love, hate, give, do, or say has some bear- ing on our future endeavors. Everyone we meet, and everyone we fight, all that is now, and all that is gone. Because of these experiences, we have grown. Would Also Like To Thank The ManyTPatrons Walham WWA?

Now Berta, Missy and Leelv On Shannon, On Janice On Jake, Jeff and Terry Finish those pages Nancy, Ellen, Karen, Marcus and Mike, Let's go Fratena, Iumari and Marcy we don 't have all night, , To the second floor, climb over the wall, The administrators want us out so dash away all, Climbing out of the school, the staffers they flew With an armful of triplicates, grease pencils, and negatives to be developed by Dave, too, Then in a twinkling they moved their layouts elsewhere, In order that there might be a yearbook for Blair, And when all the pages were done they said with a smirk, Enjoy this yearbook all, for it took a lot of work'f. 255 ' ACADEMICS: feausruessz 65500475 EPIIOBI A , ADWSIOBI JEFF BURTON i WALTRAUTI FEHREMANN JAKE FRENKEL I STEVE MILLS, l EDITOR MAGDALENIA ROSALES JANICE SPINDT, EDITOR II LEE ESBENSHADE I MISSY GLIDDEN A ' VICKIGRAYI , I ,SHANNON NISHI WILLIAM PICKEFIINGW 'PHOTOGRAPHY COINTRIBUTORSE I I SPORTS?
