I Am a Part of All That Has Touched Me Involvement. Contribution. Service. Leadership. Non- academic atmosphere. Responsibility. All of these were reasons students participated in clubs, student govern- ment, class offices, committees, and publications. Sophomore Class President Melissa Pearson explained, I was on Student Council and various committees because l loved to debate and to be behind the scenes. BUGLE co-editor Steven Donziger participated in publications because he felt the newspaper gave him much pride and it rewarded him for the work he put in. ln publications, one sees the result of much time and effort. Some people were leaders while others were followers. Eighth grader Jimmy White commented that class and club officers, representatives, and other leaders were the result of popularity contests which didn't 'leave room for other students to get involved. Having been on the Stu- dent Council, Bert Robinson felt the reason many of the same people did everything was because they were more confident than other students. College-bound Julie Newton stated, Colleges placed so much importance on activities because they could not judge one's character and personality by academics alone. Academics did not show one's leadership, respon- sibility, or ability to get along with others. Nancy Rathbone felt, Clubs and their activities broke some of the tension and pressure of the academic day. Melissa Pearson reflected regretfully, Students didn't feel that it was an honor to be in a club. Club membership should be an important part of our being here. Unity, attitude, activities, interest, and members made one club different from another. Steven Greenfield strongly felt, Key Club attacked the problems of Bolles, whereas other clubs complimented them. ,L 'I' If. ' .-vu-5. x lt -2 l u , v .

Even before then, the one building that existed, Bolles Hall, was the San Jose Hotel. In September, 1971, Bolles became coeducational. The '78-'79 enroll- ment was over 900 students and over 70 faculty and administration. Diona Farkas, librarian, stated, As the nature of the assignments changed, so did the library. As new courses arose, the library met their needs. As an example of the cons- tant growth ofthe school, Ms. Farkas said that twenty years ago one would have seen volumes about rifles on the shelves. Now there are very few. As the facilities changed, so did the students. The students were part of the past, present, and future of Bolles. Troy Douglas said, By my having attended Bolles, I hoped to encourage other black students to come here in the future. Often alumni sent their children here. Because Bolles helped them, many feel it will also be good for their children. 441: I ' mx 5 I- 'a .fxgi . sq g '1u Valedictorian Marc Rose leads the Class of '78 at the graduation exercises June 3, 1978, II9LlS I 'LUV l 'SQM 99 .A .A
