Full Year The three classes, '60, '61, and '62, brought our enrollment to 1200 students. In April, new construction was begun in order to make room for the expanding student body. .ff W-ff, ..J 'Qq.. .. .wifes Among the men in the picture are two prominent educators from Moscow, U.S.S.R. After a short tour of Cubberley classes, shops and laboratories, they concluded that some private foundation was giving money to support our program. The respect with which they viewed our work reminds me that Cubberley is more than another senior high school on the Peninsula. We are undertaking many important projects to see if we can improve learning ff example: the new laboratory for foreign languages. Secondly, we expect more from students. Examples: We ask for high achievement in all subjects and classes -- perhaps too high on occasion. The majority of students here tend to regulate their own behavior whenever possible. Remember the I.egislature's concern with behavior at brunch? Remember the groups on their own each morning in the cafetorium fthose who can take KCHSJ? The sophomores will recall that we asked some of them to try seven periods instead of six, and we extended the plan to all three grades for next year. The drama department expected to stretch our imagination and did so with The Glass Menagerie. The basketball team added to the tradition of quality performance. I hope your own view of the high school allows you to see its unique qualities. The Totem itself will aid you. It offers more than pictures of each of usg it tells something of adventures we shared.

Hail, Data Processor! This year the Cubberley student body submitted to regimentation into neatly tabulated rows of numbers. In commemoration of this progressive event, the Totem salutes the I.B.M. computer. I'll Be Mmed From the eons ofthe ages 'man has groped through the gloom for the fate or force that moves him to his destiny or doom. Now the golden calf of science and the lesser gods involved having delved into the cosmic 'lo! they have the mystery solved. And man finds the answer typed on pastel cards with neat punched holes that rate and file K in half the time j our neatly numbered, counted souls. The force that guides our destiny through research is clearly seen and thus we laud its contributions - the I.B.M. machine. elh
