After thirteen years of dedicated service to Del Campo, William T. Bode resigned as Principal in June of 1976. Mr. Bode had a very Eventful Career before coming to Del Campo early in 1963. He taught in west Sacramento from 1953 to 1957. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Teachers Training at lntigua in the West Indies from 1957 to 1958. The lifestyle there was quite different for the Bode family. The islands were still quite primitive then. Their diet consisted mainly of seafoods and fruits. The one great luxury they had was frozen lamb that was shipped in from New Zealand occasionally. Upon return to the United States. Mr. Bode was the Dean of Boys at Encina and the Vice Principal at EI Camino. William Bode was very impressed with the major accomplishments the Student Government made at Del Campo over the years. Their role in operating the school has grown more each year. The powers of the Student Government were quite limited in the first years of the schoolls history. Mr. Bode believed there was an attitude change. lt used to be the opinion that students could not operate the school, but not anymore. Even though he will be retired, Mr. Bode and his wife Fran will be very busy, They plan to finish up some books they have been writing, and do some magazine articles. She does the writing and he does the photography. The two of them also plan to do a great deal of traveling. ln the summer they will attend the International Writers Convention in Washington D.C, They will also be doing some picture taking the the South, mainly New Orleans. The big adventure will be New Zealand, where the Bode's will be taking pictures and gathering information for a magazine article on the Old English Gardens. For relaxation, they will then travel to Australia and the Philippines, Mr. Bode would like to leave Del Campo with a few last thoughts: The kids have always been cooperative, friendly, well dressed, and hard workers. They are the top of the pile in the San Juan School District. i would like everyone to know that l have been very happy here. l'll be leaving a lot of good things. In his nine years at DC, Don Rowley progressed from a Health and Safety teacher to Vice Principal of the Juniors and Seniors. He served as the student council advisor from 1974 to 1976. During his career, he felt that the students attained more 228 freedoms, for example there were more opportunities for student involvement, and they were being listened to much more. If he had unlimited resources, he wanted to see the library expanded, the campus beautified, and the addition of a girls gym. For relaxation Mr. Rowley bicycled, gardened, and played the piano. This year there was a new addition to the DC faculty. She was Kristi Kramer. Ms. Kramer graduated from Del Campo in 1968. Since her return she noticed the changes that had taken place. For example: the entire atmosphere was more casual. The students were more independent. Lastly, the English curriculum was better because there was a much wider selection of classes to choose from. During his thirteen year career as a industrial art teacher, Keith Diehl watched a gradual liberalization and relaxation in the atmosphere at DC. Some of the results from this relaxed era are good, some aren't. It used to be that you couldn't smoke within two blocks of the schools grounds, now they are right across the street. Aside from teaching one of lVlr. Diehl's duties was to make cabinets and bookcases for the school. and props for the Drama department. 1976 was also the fourth year that Mr. Diehl supervised the Gifted Woodshop class, a workshop held once a week after school.
