To everyone who reads this book it will have a different meaning, but to all it will show the growth of Encinal—FROM A DREAM TO A REALITY. All the students and faculty have made Encinal a lasting reality from their dreams, and we have tried to capture their spirit through the 1956 HORIZON. Encinal's HORIZON was the name chosen by a student- faculty committee from the hundreds of entries in the contest held in November of last year. In naming our book THE HORIZON the committee felt that this title captured the spirit of Encinal and the fact that every student at Encinal has his own horizon toward which he can extend his dreams. This 1956 HORIZON is the story of Encinal — FROM A DREAM TO A REALITY.

To the Students who will fill the halls of Encinal in the future we dedicate this first edition of ''The Horizon. 7 NS ae Encinal means many things to its students, and in dedicating this book to you, the future students, we have attempted to show some of the many things that Encinal has meant to us during our travels from dreams to realities. This book is a symbol of the end of the journey for many of us because it means that our days at Encinal are nearing their end, and that they will soon be happy memories as we assume adult responsibilities. We have enjoyed our times at Encinal and even though we leave regretfully we know that you, too, will in the future have your own good times and enjoy them as much as we have ours. This book is a symbol of the beginning of a journey for you as you have yet to make your dreams a reality. While this HORIZON is our book of memories, it is your book of dreams and we have meant it to be such. The 1956 HORIZON will show you what Encinal is—its students, faculty, halls, activities, and spirit. All these will be yours in the future, and with them we know that you will come to know and love Encinal as much as we do. We have built and lived our dreams: now we leave Encinal to you as we know it and love it, with the hope that even though you may know it in a different way, you, too, will love it as we do and build your own realities from your dreams. Dr. William G. Paden In Tribute Pioneering seems to hold a magic charm—especially for such an active and lively person as Dr. Paden. Pioneering held a great challenge for him—in many ways. Although most our our territorial frontiers had been conquered, the pioneer in Dr. Paden pushed him along the trails of the early pioneers and he discovered many important things pertaining to the history of the West and of California in particular. A second high school for Alameda was one of the dreams of this man. A high school as full of wonder and charm and spirit as its very name—ENCINAL! Encinal, being the name of one of the three townships on our island, carried a great deal of significance for Dr. Paden. Dr. Paden, as Superintendent of the Alameda Public Schools for twenty-eight years built Alameda's educational system into one of the greatest in the entire nation. A tribute to Dr. Paden is unnecessary—he has built a tribute in the hearts of all who knew him. Bi XS id; JIM BENTLEY (1937-1953) : AZE JONES . . . (1939-1954) 3 x CAROL PAGE (1937-1956) Our History... As Told by the Encinal Jet The strangest thing happened to me the other day—l was sitting in front of the school on our new Senior Bench, and | suddenly felt that someone was watch- ing me. | looked around but saw no one. | then turned to see, peeking at me from around the corner of the bench, what appeared to be a jet. He was carefully scrutinizing the Senior Bench and ME! | guess he wondered if | was a senior. | looked a little more closely and the realization began to take hold—he must be the Encinal Jet —our Mascot. He looked friendly enough to me and so | spoke to him. Soon we began chatting like old friends. We exchanged helloes'' and then began to talk about our school. It had never occurred to me before that Encinal had not always been the fine, beautiful school that it is today. As we talked | began to wonder about the beginning. Then, in a flash, an idea took form. Why not ask the Encinal Jet? He would know all about it—the beginning, | mean—of that fact | was quite sure— and so | asked. He sat down on the bench and thought about it for a few moments and then told me the whole story. These are his words; some of the story you will know, as | do, but some of it will be new to you as it was to me. Well, | wasn't here,’ the Jet began, but I've heard that Alameda had only one public high school for a long time, Alameda High School. Every semester more and more students crowded its halls and classrooms. The administration of the Alameda Unified School District decided that there was a great need for a new high school in the city. Dr. Paden, who was superintendent of schools, worked diligently until, after several years of planning, the new school was ready to be built. The name was chosen before the building was begun; the Board of Education decided to name the new school after one of the three original townships on the island — ENCINAL. A call for bids was issued and when | heard that a new high school was being planned, | knew that my time had come. There were only three ''School- less'' mascots wandering around at the time, and | was one of them. The Eagle and the Wildcat were only slightly inter- ested, so they didn't stay around to help with the construction. After the bids were accepted and the contracts signed, the long, hard task of building began on the twenty acres of ground beside the bay. The rocks had to be removed, the ground leveled, and the concrete pilings driven deep to support the building. ‘Can you imagine all the work those men had to do? | was always on the side — helping — supervising, naturally! Mr. Thorp, the school department building inspector, let me help him; he never made me do any hard work; and we can assure you of the quality of the work! The first buildings were the main building, the shop room (which was then our cafeteria and auditorium) and the girls’ and boys' locker rooms. These buildings cost one million dollars, but they seemed so bare because there was no landscaping at that time. All the freshmen, and you remember that is all there were, had to walk the long asphalt path to P.F, It really made me feel right at home since it looked so much like an airstrip. Eventually the new buildings w ere to be built and my little airstrip would be just a pleasant memory—mine alone when the next two classes have graduated. On January 13, 1953, a bond issue was voted on and passed so that the rest of the school could be completed. We were all terribly excited because we knew that two new wings would be added in addition to the library, the homemaking rooms, music rooms, a cafetorium (with a small stage), our gym-auditorium, the football field, track, and baseball diamonds. The whole stud- ent body got behind the bond election, and we like to think that we helped its passage in a small way. Let me see now; | guess that just about covers the early history of the school. Now about the students and faculty. 'Hmmmmmm .. . How shall | begin? | suggested that the Jet begin at the beginning—the first day of school. Oh, sure; | don't think | will ever forget the first day of school! It was really quite a sight to see. All the students began to arrive soon after 8:00 a.m. Boy, were they excited! | don't know who was more excited, the students or yours truly. Now that | think about it, the faculty, the lucky thirteen who opened the school, were not exactly calm, either. After a few weeks, things began to settle down. Since there were so few students, everyone became well ac- quainted from the very first. This made it easier for the clubs and other activities to get started. The Girls' Association sponsored our first dance. This Spook Shuffle, ' a girl-ask-boy affair, was a huge success. One of the first things to get organ- ized was the newspaper. Thanks to Mrs. Breuer's 1A English-Social Studies class our newspaper made its first appearance on October 13, 1952. The first issue was followed each quarter by the publication of another issue by one of the English- Social Studies classes. | am proud to say that, in a way, the newspaper was partly responsible for my discovery. When the paper was named The Echo by a vote of the students, | knew that | was soon to be discovered. | always did think that | had an echo—most jets do, you know! We had a student body, but what good is that unless we have student body officers? Our first semi-annual Political Convention was held in October of 1952. Bob Montgomery presented the candidates for the various offices, and the next day we voted for our first student body officers. When the first official meeting was held on Friday, October 31, 1952, we found Royce Luman, President of the Associated Students of Encinal High School, presiding. Secretary Barbara Weatherton gave a good account of our Political Convention in her minutes. Although this was our first meeting, we had money in our treasury. We were told by Treasurer Delores Phillips that over two hun- dred and fifteen dollars had been given us by Alameda High, Longfel- low, Washington, John Muir, and Lincoln schools. Our new yell leader, Pearline Siller, helped to build our school spirit with some new and different yells. Then one of the big moments arrived—Hope Vaquera, our vice-president, presented the Alex- ander Brothers, the first entertain- ment to perform at a meeting of the new student body. The Assemblies we have now are vastly different from the ones we had in the cafeteria. The room was so small we found it necessary to hold two assemblies each time there was a meeting. Half of the students went to the Blue Assembly and the other half to the White. Oh, by the way, the assemblies were so called because of our newly selected school colors. The colors blue and white were chosen for their true meanings—blue for truth and white for purity. | liked the colors from the very start as they made me think of the blue, blue sky and fluffy white clouds. | liked the two assemblies because |, as Mascot, got to attend both of them and miss a class that the students didn't! Finally, on September 26, 1953, | was adopted as the official mascot of Encinal High School. | had been around for a few months in the minds of some of the students; and | had been drawn by Bob Montgomery for the cover of one of the issues of ''The Echo. But now all the students knew about me and this was the happiest day of my life! But | am getting ahead of my story in my desire to talk about myself... The first dance sponsored by the Student Council was held after school on December 19, 1952. Snow Flake Frolic'' was held the last day before Christmas vacation, which made it a really special occasion. Until our gym was com- 12 ems mmreengE |b pleted, dances were held in room 109 (now made into the two rooms 108 and 109) or in the hallway upstairs. | really thought those dances were a blast! As we became more accustomed to our new habitat, a large number of clubs were formed. They ranged from the Girls' Athletic Association to the Non-Coms and Photography Club. Any hobby or interest you have—we have a club to match it. We have two clubs which have a wider affiliation than just our own school — a Chapter of the National Thespian Society and a Chapter of the California Scholarship Federation. Another great historical event took place on March 15, 1954. Our high school took its place among the eight schools who are members of the Alameda County Athletic League. (That really made me an official mascot.) We were proud to see Mr. Mell beaming over being elected pres- ident of the A.C.A.L. When school started in the fall of 1954, our new gym was completed. What a thrill it was! We could hardly wait for our first student meeting. That meeting was a real blast! We knew that this was only the beginning of all our great student meetings. | really swell with pride when | see or hear our band. | can never forget how hard every student worked to raise money for the uniforms. As activities became more numer- ous, the following dances became traditional: the Opening Dance, the Soph Hop, and the Junior Prom. | always enjoy the Opening Dance —that is the one where all the new freshmen get their social welcome from the entire student body. The Soph Hops are a lot of fun, too. The zaniest titles are given to Soph Hops. Just listen to some of them—'Dreamers' Holiday,’ ‘April Showers,’ ‘Falling Leaves,’ and ‘Daisy Mae's Choice'— aren't they crazy? The dreamy dance of the year is the Junior Prom, Moulin Rouge, Forbidden City — sound exciting, don't they? Another of my favorite activities is the semi-annual senior play. ‘Stage Door’ was a smash hit, and ‘Growing Pains’ had me holding my steel sides to keep from popping! 'Then came the time we look forward to but never want to have come — graduation! The first graduation from Encinal was held in Febru- ary of 1956. It was so pretty, but like all Arrays ce 3 ning ite 3 page gs EEE py arte on B15 a Pe =o oye graduations, very sad! The only reason | hate to go to graduations is that | cry; and when | do, my iron rusts. Now, who ever heard of a jet with rust around his eyes? | still feel a little tug in my engine to know that some of my friends are gone.’ Just then the bell rang, and both the Encinal Jet and | had to hurry to our classes so we said, ''good-bye. It's been fun talking to you about Encinal, ' our carefree, little Jet called, ''! know that many of us will look back someday and recall our happy times here at Encinal, but many students can look forward to the many wonderful experiences to come. Many students will graduate from Encinal and more will begin high school here, but I'm sure that each of them will love Encinal High School as much as | do. We both had to hurry to our classes so that we wouldn't receive that little slip of paper which has become a symbol of a time-honored tradition here at Encinal and most other high schools—DETENTION! Well, that's the story, and there goes another bell, so I'll have to hurry again! Seniors, when first they walked to the main entrance as freshmen, saw only hard dirt on either side of the walk. The trees were planted and have become leafy three times. As the years go by these saplings will be- come gigantic trees shading the entire walk just as our freshmen will become leaders in our world. Creating Reality from a Dream g MATa ohana hio Pe Re otaade’ = ) LS Sy ADMINISTRATION nia ES Ge Meas tides + or Superintendent's Message The rapid growth of student population during World War II had taxed the secondary school facilities far beyond the capacity of one school to afford the youth of Alameda an adequate high school education. A survey by the Kump Associates—a firm of consultants in school plant planning—indicated that a second high school was essential. An idea was born! In June 1948 the citizens of Alameda over- whelmingly approved a bond issue for the con- struction of new schools, and on September 10, 1952, Encinal High School opened its doors to 300 freshmen students. An idea was taking form! The period from 1952 to 1956 saw this vigor- ous new high school set to work to establish the working relationships and the fine traditions that are the essence of an outstanding school. lt was the period of Coming of Age! It was not long before the young high school gave indication that it would make its presence felt in the secondary school realm. At the Science Fair its students captured coveted awards in competition with high schools much longer estab- lished. Its athletic teams turned in surprisingly DR. DONALD M. RODERICK good performances against older and larger Superintendent of Schools and schools. In 1956 Encinal High School graduates Secretary to the Board of Education its first classes. An idea has become a reality! BOARD OF EDUCATION Dr. Stuart Stephens, Mrs. Lee Cavanaugh, Mr. A. Hubbard Moffitt, Jr., Vice-President; Dr. Donald Lum, President; Mr. Walter Howe Principal's Message There is something magical about the word FIRST''—the number, ONE. As years move on toward their endless destination, then in retrospect those things which were first become more significant, more historical, and bear more of the pioneering prestige. Here, then, is Volume | of our school's Year- book; the dreams, the thoughts, and the ideas of our student body and faculty have emerged into a reality in this lovely yearbook. It is a keepsake of beauty and full content. It is gratifying recompense for all the long hours of planning and effort that have been spent on its production. | particularly like the name that was chosen for our yearbook, THE HORIZON. To me, the word Horizon, connotates for Encinal High School the same thoughts that the word Demo- cracy has for the United States of America: a visible threshold to be attained, a reality in our everyday living, a never-to-be forgotten symbol of achievement. THE HORIZON, like Democracy, represents to us at Encinal a measure of hard earned progress; not in bigness of size but in greatness of ideals, not in quantity but in quality, not in money but in value. Here are represented the personal discipline and conduct of many people. A self- willed and self-directed plan of cooperation whereby students through their own efforts have brought a distant vision and an ideal to its full fruition. There will be other Horizons for succeeding generations in our high school, but to this gener- ation and their posterity goes the magic reality of being the First. To Miss Jean Wilson as adviser, Mr. Clarence Kline as business adviser, and to Carol Kolar as editor-in-chief and Pat Auger as business manager, | wish to express my deepest admiration and appreciation. In addition | wish to thank the staff and all others who gave unstintingly of their time and effort to place THE HORIZON in our hands, MR. LOWELL W. MELL Principal —_ . MR. LOUIS GRANT BRANDES Vice Principal Instruction and Curriculum MISS JEAN A. WILSON Assistant to the Principal me “g lal DR. JAMES L. SNELL Assistant to the Principal Guidance and Student Activities Many of our dreams are realized through the For the administrative assistants at Encinal High School there have also been various kinds of dreams and reality. Mr. Brandes’ dreams reach fruition in the provision of a variety of course offerings and the excellent daily schedule of classes. Mr. Brandes also dreams of students who can take care of themselves, never have to go to detention, never misbehave in class; and reality is the fact that this dream is never quite realized! Miss Wilson dreams of a school wherein every student is a genius and where all teachers approach the peak performance of their daily teaching tasks and maintain this perfection throughout all the days and years to come. Of such stuff are dreams made! And yet many of our dreams have come true in the instructional aspects of our high school. By a combination of dreaming, planning, and working together our progress is assured. Dr. Snell's dream is one of all students work- ing hard at classroom tasks, no laggards, no dullards, and no non-participants; a student Seated: Dr. Harriet Haas. Standing: Mr. Robert Bartley, Mrs. Helen Patten, Mr. Bruno Peinado. government second to none in which every student is a leader; activities that supervise themselves; and a school calendar that keeps itself up to date. His reality has included a great growth in the leadership qualities of the students, and many fine activities which are enjoyed by a majority of the students. The counseling staff at Encinal, including Mr. Millett, Job Placement Counselor and the four teacher-counselors, Mrs. Patten, Dr. Haas, Mr. Bartley, and Mr. Peinado, dream with the faculty of well-adjusted, properly programmed, happy boys and girls. Each teacher is also an adviser with a guidance relationship to a single group of students through four years. In addition to their many classroom duties, therefore, each teacher works with the counselors and the administration to help make reality of all the dreams. The most satisfying reality for any school to achieve, however, is that which is realized in the classrooms of that school. And we feel that we can be proud of our dreams and our reality.

Y 4 ZU if }'I} The Reality of Achievement Fics “ oe oF Vital ART FLOWERS President JOAN WOLKE Secretary BECKY RAINIER Vice-President The class of February 1956 worked hard through its three and one-half years at Encinal High. Take a walk with us and see our rainbow of happiness, experience, and pride. Our class came together in February 1952 as three advisories at Alameda High School, as Encinal High was not completed. In September of 1952 we entered with our heads high and our hearts full of gladness. We knew then we were the leaders and had to uphold the job of seniors through our three and one-half years here. We elected class and student body officers to lead us on our first step of the way. We held various sales and started the first few traditions we knew would be carried on through the years. Our sophomore year we really began to get into the swing of things although we only had two advisories; and our rainbow seemed to be the brightest. We provided more sales and noon-time movies. Things were beginning to pop and we were proud. In our high sophomore term we held our first night dance—''Dreamers' Holi- day, and it was a big success. We held it away from school as the gym was not complete. In our junior year, we really became upper classmen; we chose our Junior Sweaters, picked 24 JUANITA KIRTON Treasurer out our class rings, and held the first formal dance at Encinal High, Blue Gardenia. Then we were seniors; the time went by very fast. As low seniors we held a Variety Show, Senior Varieties,’ and we had our great Senior Picnic at Adobe Creek Lodge; we really had a swell time. Then our high senior term was here and hit us all with a bang! Our rainbow started fading away. We knew it wouldn't be long and our school days would be over. We held our Sock Day, picked out our jackets and sweaters, held our Senior Meeting, our Senior Banquet, luncheon, and finally our great Senior Ball, Moonlight Melody.” Then the big day arrived, February 3, 1956; some dreaded it and others looked forward to it; in any event it was upon us. We didn't like the thought of leaving our beautiful school, our friends and teachers, but we had to go out and reach beyond our Rainbow to see what was in store for us. We have left now, some are married, in the service, at college and at work. We are happy, but miss the happy days spent at Encinal. You'll be stepping over our rainbow someday, and until then, Au Revoir for awhile. the first class of graduates from Encinal High. . . JEAN AMMONS—Mr. Cadwell's Advisory.

The Class of June HENRY GIUDICE President EVELYN PAIVA Vice-President Secretary As eighth graders it was an utter dream, as freshmen it hardly seemed possible, but now as Seniors our dream has become a reality. Way back in September of ‘52, when we entered Encinal as the first Low Freshman Class, everything seemed in a haze. But gradually things took their proper place as we worked together to form the clubs, student body, and the new traditions. As entering freshmen our status was rather unique as compared to that of other freshmen entering old established schools. Our legs did not quake as we passed mighty seniors, nor did we dread the day when we might have to speak to an upperclassman. As a matter of fact-we were a terribly brave ARLENE ANDERSEN ROTH MORGAN Treasurer class for the simple reason that there were no seniors. As far as we were concerned we were the upperclassmen. We looked down on no one and no one looked down on us. A year closer to our dream, we again took up our books and started the endless task of putting together teams for sports, our Soph Hop, April Showers,’ and, incidently, a few A's or so along the way. We developed more class spirit during this year as we pitched in on the different sales, making money in a way that was fun. We welcomed a Freshman Class to our school and found out how small Freshmen could be—at least to a well-established Sophomore Class like ours. The dream was becoming a FRANCES LENCI Vice-President As Juniors, we felt well on our way toward the goal. The up-hill climb was over and we're enjoy- ing ourselves completely. But we still had to keep on our toes. We still had yet to completely establish Encinal as a full-fledged high school. As a class we chose aqua for Junior sweaters and gave our Junior Prom, Forbidden City. It was a success, of course, that goes without saying. As Seniors we reached our zenith. Graduation was in sight and our alma mater had come of age. After three long years of waiting the big year finally arrived. We became a full-fledged member of the A.C.A.L. and started out with high hopes. Yes, the Senior Year sure did keep us in a whirl. Not only were we interested in sports, but we also had to think about the job of publishing the first yearbook, ''Horizon, and raising the curtain on the first Senior Play, Stage Door,’ here at Encinal. We struggled SUE WITKOVIC PAUL DENNAN President TOM WHYTE Secretary Treasurer along valiantly with all these tasks, steadfastly working toward our goal, being plagued all the way by acute attacks of ''Senioritis! ' In February we finally realized how close we were to finishing our job here. Our fellow class- mates, who had come to Encinal with us, received their diplomas and turned over their seniority. So now it's our turn to do the same. We face the future with great hopes, but the memories of the past four years have an important place in our thoughts. Ten years from now we'll remem- ber all the terrific times we have had at Encinal High School, the wonderful faculty, and all our wonderful classmates, who have helped to make these four years something special. Our alma mater has grown up with us, hand in hand. So it is with great pride and more than a little touch of sadness that we now state Our dream has become a reality. reality as the first class to complete four years JOE ALDER—Mr. Kline's Advisory, Spanish Club, 4A Class Rep., J.V.

Best cooks in E.H.S. Civics classes. BOB McMAHON President NORMA SHEPHARD Vice-President ROY VALLEY Secretary In February cf 1953 our class entered the main corridor of Encinal. At last we became of age and were now high and mighty ''Low Freshmen. The beautiful school we now entered had only been tidelands a few years before. We had watched it grow and had patiently waited for our “'big'' day. We elected officers, joined in student activi- ties, and soon became ''Tradition-makers'’ in our new home. Didn't we feel elated when we soon became HIGH Freshmen and the next class entered Encinal? We felt pretty grown-up then and Red Buttons was our idol on television. HELEN EFSTATHIOU Treasurer During our Sophomore Year we had the privi- lege of giving the first Sophomore Hop ''Winter Fantasy in our new gym. This was an excellent dance ably managed by Sylvia Kness and Lanzy Hyde and a fine committee. Our class was the first to give a skit at the student body meeting proclaiming our dance. Also we set a tradition by giving a laugh-provoking commercial for the dance over the PA system. During the summer, we swam behind the school and when the fall semester started, we noticed more 'jalopies'’ had invaded our school. Cake and fudge sales raised our treasury to good proportions. Dragnet, with Jack Webb, was our favorite T.V. program. entered school with desire to succeed, HELEN EFSTATHIOU Vice-President To the tune of Rock Around the Clock'' and watching our favorite programs such as Disney- land and the $64,000 Question, we settled down to do some hard work, studying, and planning more class activities. We came up with our exciting ‘Moulin Rouge Junior Prom in which Jim Gary and a noble crew spent tireless hours in preparation. With a revolving mill and a side- walk cafe atmosphere, the dance was the social success of the season. With the floods in December and the rains, too, we wondered if the sun would ever shine again. But the sun finally peeked through and LINDA GREWE BILL ROSE President HARRY STEWART Secretary Treasurer we saw the first graduating class leave our school. We nudged a few rows closer to the front of the auditorium and took our place as omnipotent Seniors. We chose our beautiful class rings and jumped into our Senior Play ''Growing Pains. ' Before we knew it, we had become thespians right before our eyes. The play was a huge success, but we rested on our laurels for only a short while. We sang Sixteen Tons,'' chose our Senior Jackets, and moved to the front of the gym, and assumed the responsibilities of High Seniors, the Class of February 1957. took its place in the setting of traditions, RODNEY BLACKLOCK — Mrs. Kaufman's Advisory Growing Pains” Stage Mgr.

On our A.S.E.H.S. cabinet two of these students were members of the February 1956 graduating class. James Hopkins, presi- JOY SORENSEN Secretary CLEO GREEN Treasurer Yell Leader dent, and Joyce Gallagher, vice-president, were two of these forty-eight students who left the halls of Encinal High School in February 1956. Joy Sorensen, secretary, will be among the graduating class this June and Cleo Green, treasurer, will be a graduate at the February 1957 commencement exercises. June Raimondi, our peppy, energetic yell leader, was the baby of the group, being a 3A at the time. JUNE RAIMONDI Be take te Front row: P. Webb, C. Glover, J. Wolke, L. Motton, W. Black, B.

Jim closed the meet- ing and June led us in the school hymn. This was their first experience as student body officers, and right then and there they began to realize that it was up to them to make the fall term successful. The student body meetings will never be forgotten by this cabinet, that may be truthfully said. The students, to be sure, will remember some of the entertainment held at the fall meetings, including the Men's Faculty Assembly. This most spectacular performance included such greats as 'The Uncalled Four, ' better known as the Barbershop Quartet.'' The Jazz Band will also be long remembered. Mr. Croll's sparkling talent at leading yells as well as Mr. Gargiulo's detec- tive work will go down on the annals of Encinal's history. During the fall we also had such fine student entertainment as the Slaughter House Five'' and the Encinettes, not to mention the Pep Band. We usually had a platform guest and hosted A.H.S. student body officers at one of our meetings. For professional entertainment we had Annette Chase, a talented marimba player, and Mrs. Yarick and one of her gym students who gave a hand balancing and muscle-flexing display. During the term nine student assemblies were held. T his was only one part of the many things that the students of Encinal will long remember. Standing: Don Follrath, Art Smith, Don Scott.

Whenever there is an infringement of the school's policy, the members of the Board of Control issue citations. A student court is con- ducted; here the student is given a warning or a penalty. The members of the fall Board of Control were identified by blue and white caps for the boys and red and white polka-dot scarves for the girls. The girls had a traditional pot-luck dinner held at Miss Wilson's home. The faculty advisers for the Boards of Control were Dr. James Snell and Miss Jean Wilson. Front row: F. Scott, A. Neville, B.

Frosh Welcome Dance In keeping with the fall theme of football and the campus, the Opening Dance and Freshmen Welcome was presented in the Encinal High School Gym from 8:30 to midnight on Friday, September 23, 1955. The name of the dance was ''Kickoff Kapers.'' General Chairman for the event was Joyce Gallagher. Other chairmen were: Sue Johnson, decorations; Roger Kehr, bids; Joan Wolke, hospitality; Leona Profumo, refreshment; and Jack Hurley, music. Joyce Gallagher with Joan Wolke above and Leona Profumo and Sue Johnson below add finishing touches to Kick Off Kapers decorations. Junior Prom Set in an atmosphere of a French street scene our Junior Prom, Moulin Rouge, was presented December 16, 1955. Working hard to make this activity the social success of the season was a committee headed by Jim Gary. A large revolving windmill against a background of buildings set our stage. Tables and chairs in the cabaret atmosphere provided students with a touch of ''Gay Paree. ' Harry Mason and his orchestra played for the occasion. Bids were comprised of clever windmills. Members who gave so much of their time to make this dance a success were Gary Fields, Roy Valley, Rosemary Correia, Harry Stewart, Harry Padilla, Helen Efstathiou, Nancy Caviglia, Jack Mills, Cleo Green, Ethel Phillips, Norma Shephard.

The theme was carried out in the decorations and bids. Decorations consisted of all colors and shapes of leaves. Also there were black and orange streamers starting from the center of the room. Mike Sherry served as general chairman. Heading the committees were Kathryn Greenwood, decorations; Nicky Cabral, publicity; Judy King, bids; Betty Olsen, refresh- ments; and Jackie Soackman in charge of music. There was a large stuffed animal given as a door prize, and there were pictures taken by Austin Studio of the couples if they desired them.

Under the direction of Mr. Cotter and his cap- able assistant, Barbara Swan, the cast of thirty and the large back-stage crew proved that Encinal High School's drama had come of age and that now and in the future, if determination and desire counted for anything, great things would continue to be done with the senior play. Bev Coffelt, Don Beckie and Richard Schultz had the three leading roles and surprised everyone Be with the excellence of their performance and the understanding with which they enacted their vari- ous parts. Sharon Havens, in spite of a broken ankle all during rehearsals, took off the cast for the performances and, in the best tradition of the theater, gave a fine portrayal of the Hollywood actress. STAGE DOOR was also distinguished by the large number of small roles which were played to the hilt by such actors as Joy Sorensen, Hank Giudice, Norman Hightower, Lloyd Finley, Sherly Crowell, Arlene Andersen, Barbara Weatherton, Irene Takagawa, Betty Groves, and others. The tremendous set, which admirably depicted the Footlights Club, was designed by Mrs. Sheridan. 1 Bottom: Helen Efstathiou, horrified at love scene between Leon Rauch and Linda Grewe.

But “Growing Pains,'' presented in April, will never be forgotten because of the props. When the class of February 1957 recalls the highlights of ''Growing Pains'' in years to come, it may well be that they will say, ‘Remember Bill Rose on the bicycle? ... ‘And Linda Grewe on skates! ...

For the record, Roy Valley proved a most efficient assistant director, and Rod Blacklock superintended the stagecraft class — the first such in years in Alameda —in constructing, painting, and erecting the set designed by Mrs. Sheridan.

Encinal became a full-fledged high school with one graduating class to its credit. As student officers we saw Encinal reach one hundred per cent student-card sales, the first Fun Day held at Encinal, and the East Bay Talent Show. The Vice-President, by tradition, handles all enter- tainment for assemblies. Irene Takagawa has done a splendid job. She brought to Encinal its first talent show on April 12, consisting of members from different schools, a scientific assembly, movies, and student talent. The meet- CAROL KOLAR Secretary LEO BERK Treasurer ings were well-rounded. Leo Berk provided the spark which set student body card sales going —and kept them going. Ray Quintana provided the yells and helped to build school spirit. As a group we attended a conference at San Leandro on student government, and we addressed incoming Freshmen. Representatives were also sent to Inter-School Youth Conference and East Bay Safety Council. We have realized that while the dreams of the past are the realities of today, the dreams of today are tomorrow's realities. RAY QUINTANA Yell Leader Front row: S. Witkovic, |. Takagawa, A.

The spring Student Council has been one of the most active since the beginning of Encinal. This term we had the honor of attaining one hundred per cent student card sales for the first time since the four years Encinal has been in exist- ence. The Student Council has authorized and adopted the school seal, and sponsored the semi-annual opening dance which was the most successful opening dance to date, under the leadership of Irene Takagawa. We have estab- lished three standing committees, Activities, Sports, and Entertainment and a talent file which will be at the disposal of all clubs and organizations. Also we managed the election campaigns of candidates for student body offices. This term we sponsored a Spring Fiesta, which will be an annual event held in the spring of each year. The fiesta is a fund raising event for all classes and clubs.

Spring Boards of Control During the spring semester the Men's and Women's Boards of Control furthered their organization by exchanging five members of each court to attend each other's meetings to discuss mutual problems. We have found this plan to be very successful under the leadership of the Chief Counselors, Ray Rasmussen and Barbara Swan. Both the Men's and Women's Boards of Con- trol have many duties. The Women's Board of Control ushers at graduation, during Public Schools Week, and at P.T.A. activities. The Men's Board of Control has duty at the basket- ball games, track meets, and various other school activities. Front row: B. Finley, A. Neville, S. Oliver, B. Brown, J. Spackman, L. Caratti, B.

The bids were designed after a kite and were sold for the price of sixty-five cents. The gym was decorated with kites and flowers to make an atmosphere of spring. The centerpiece was very cleverly made to resemble a boy flying a kite. To make this dance the success which it was took a lot of work. Irene Takagawa and her committee which con- sisted of the following: Co-chairmen, Jackie Spackman and Richard Bush; decorations, Walter King and Marion Potts; bids, Judy Corbett and Sue Witkovic; publicity, Anne Neville; refreshments, Bonnie Brown, and music, Heidi Jones, did a very fine iob on this dance which ninety-five couples attended. Jackie Spackman, Irene Takagawa, Walter King and Richard Bush give a preview of decorations for Kite Parade Soph Hop On March 23 the 2B class proudly presented their Soph Hop, Daisy Mae's Choice.'' In honor of this occasion a ''National Schmoo Day was proclaimed; this, of course, meant that it was a girl-ask-boy dance. Under the direction of Edna Washington, general chairman, and Bill Allen, co-chairman, Daisy Mae's Choice was a huge success. Those in charge ot the various committees were: decorations, Kent Sorensen and Linda Stone; bids, Marilynne Purbeck and Fred Crumbliss; entertainment, Claire Comerford and Andy Nagy; music, Janet Voirol and Jack Bottoms; refreshments, Andrea Hughes and Elsie Chaco; ticket sales, Wanda Black and Gordon Thistle; publicity, Carmen Cutting and Carol Price. Gaily dressed couples, dance around centrepiece of successful Daisy Mae's Choice”. Kathi Kolar, Ray Rasmussen, and Sandry Sandrus check plans for Fairytale Fantasy.” Junior Prom A large castle in the middle of the dance floor as a center- piece set the atmosphere for ''Fairytale Fantasy,’ pre- sented by the June Class of 1957 on May ||. The castle was surrounded by balloons at the base which gave it a cloudlike effect. The walls were covered with scenes from the fairytales of Peter Pan, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and Alice in Wonderland. Ray Rasmussen, chairman, with the help of Kathi Kolar and Sandy Sandrus, co-chair- men, did a very fine iob on the successful Junior Prom. The chairmen of the committees which helped Ray were the following: Colleen Conroy, Dave Peppard, publicity; Tina Longanecker, Floretta Scott, bids; Margaret Gibson, Leo Berk, decorations; Ken Moresi, music; Marie Mollart, refreshments.

There was only one major activity to be started—the publishing of the first yearbook. This last milestone was one of the largest, but with the invaluable help and backing of Dr. Roderick and the Board of Education and the wholehearted support of Mr. Mell, the staff of THE 1956 HORI- ZON started to work last fall. As the staff began its work everyone soon learned that it takes a lot of time and effort to publish a yearbook. Copy- writing, picture cropping, engravings, proof reading, advertisers, deadline, and proofs all became familiar words to the staff. One by one each of the deadlines was met and THE 1956 HORIZON is now ready to go to press. To Miss Wilson, editorial adviser; Mrs. Hackler, copy adviser; and Mr. Kline, busi- ness adviser, go our sincerest thanks; with- out their help the yearbook would not mean all that it does to the staff. My personal thanks to all the hard-working members of the staff. | know that | speak on their behalf when | say that we hope this first HORIZON will symbolize the end of another journey of Encinal and that it will mean as much to all the students as it does to the staff. —CAROL KOLAR, Editor —— PE | Top, left to right: Erin Thistle, Richard Roth, Myrna Timoney, Frances Lenci.

Washington, Boys’ and Girls Glee Power to elicit thoughtful meditation or an attitude of reverence has been shown by Encinal vocal groups when they have sung for solemn or spiritual programs on campus, in other schools, and for local organizations. Yet their repertory includes rollicking comic numbers with which they set a mood for fun and laughter when the occasion demands. Music classes are designed to provide experi- ence in the rudiments of vocal techniques and of ensemble singing. Selections worked on this year include both secular and sacred numbers ranging from currently popular tunes to lovely glee club arrangements. This year the Boys' Glee enjoyed working on a group of Negro spirituals and on such popular numbers as ‘Frankie and Johnny,’ There's a Foggy, Foggy Dew, and ''Mem- ories Are Made of This.'' The Girls' Glee presented ''Bring a Torch, Jeanette Isabella’ for the Christmas Assembly. The Glee Clubs perform occasionally at assemblies for P.-T.A. meetings, and for church groups. Front row: C.

Orem Pep Band, Ensemble, and Band The Encinal High School Pep Band, of which we are very proud, was first organized in the fall of 1955 for the purpose of promoting school spirit. When first organized, it was composed of the first chair players who practiced during their lunch hours. Attired in their uniforms of navy pants with a white stripe, white shirts and shoes, and a unique round straw hat with a blue and white ribbon band, they attended most of the games at home and away. Because of hard work and stirring spirit, they have e a! added spark to our games and become known as one of the top bands of the Alameda County Athletic League. The Instrumental Ensemble is composed of string players who work with Mr. Curington during fourth period. The group is augmented for special engagements by other instrumentalists who are not regularly scheduled for the class but give up their free time to practice. Their work has been much appreciated by the school. te) Py J. Huesby, D. Debold, B. Arbuckle, E. Humphers, J. Gary, S$. Shull, C. Bowdish, D. Shephard, R. Taylor, C. Poykko, M. Rodgers, A.

Distinct compositions written for band reflect the type of musicianship that places our band high among high school bands of the Bay Area. Loud exclamation of masculine and feminine disappoint- ment issue forth at a spot of dirt on our newly purchased uniforms or the sound of a clinker in one of the hit tunes of today. Inside this organization are boys and girls who maintain high scholastic honors, participate in varsity and intramural sports, perform in many school activities, hold important offices in class and student-body government, and yet find time to provide entertainment and pleasure for the student body. This is the organization that provides musical know-how for the ''Dance Band and ''Pep Band; the organization that can look for- ward to participating and providing enjoyment for all during football and basketball season, assemblies, senior plays, noon dances, P.-T.A. functions, grammar school assemblies, Band Days at the universities of California and Stanford, and the Alameda Music Festival held each spring. This fine organization has contributed greatly to the accomplish- ment and spirit maintained at Encinal High School . . .

SPRING OFFICERS Anne Neville, Sec., Jack Hurley, Treas., Harre Demoro, Pres., Don Montgomery, Vice-Pres. FALL OFFICERS Leo Berk, Pres., Lois Caratti, Vice-Pres., Colleen Conroy, Sec., Donna Lombardi, Treas. Leo Berk and his cabinet paved the way for a very successful term. The first order of business was to select our Junior Sweater. With the help of a capable committee headed by Kathi Kolar, frosty flame was picked as the color. Two sales and a noon dance were given to further the class financially. It was decided that pins would be given to all past officers to represent their offices. The selling of book covers, traditionally held by the junior class, proved very profitable and in general the fall semester turned out to be a very successful one for our class. The spring term under Harre Demoro was one that we really looked forward to since we were to give our Junior Prom and choose our class rings. A plain gold ring was chosen by our class. This semester we held three interesting meetings and decided upon a fairy tale theme for our Junior Prom Fairy Tale Fantasy.’ Ray Rasmussen served as Dance Manager and was aided by Sandy Sandrus and Kathi Kolar, co- managers; Colleen Conroy, publicity; Tina Longanecker, bids; Marie Mollart, refreshments; Margaret Gibson, decorations; and Ken Moresi, music. The dance was enjoyed by all and was an all-around success.

FALL OFFICERS Jackie Spackman, Sec., Mike Sherry, Pres., Judy King, Vice-Pres., Signe Slangerup, Treas. During the fall semester the Soph Hop was our major social affair. All our activities centered around it. We held two cake sales in order to finance this dance, and fortunately they were financially successful. We chose the name Falling Leaves for our Soph Hop and gave Mike Sherry, our class president, the job as manager while Judy King was co-manager. With the able help of excellent committees the dance turned out to be a big success since it was very well attended. The theme proved to be a good one since it lent itself easily to decorations, and it was the fall season. SPRING OFFICERS Jackie Spackman, Sec., Robert Orem, Pres. In the spring semester we officially elected Robert Orem as president. We held our tradi- tional two cake sales which, as always, turned out successfully. A class meeting was held to discuss our future Junior Sweaters, which was the next order of business. A committee was then chosen to take on the responsibility of providing our class with a suitable Junior Sweater. Just as every other class in the school is looking forward to progressing one more grade in their journey through high school, so are we, for we look forward to the many coming events.

FALL OFFICERS Ruth Berk, Sec., Linda Stone, Treas., Carmen Cutting, Pres., Jean Braboy, Vice-Pres. We came back to school this semester looking forward to the coming events. For we were Sophomores and no longer looked down upon as the lowest class in school. We started the fall term off right by electing our officers which were headed by Carmen Cutting as President. We held a noon dance which proved very profitable for the class treasury and enjoyable to everyone in general. Our officers held two class meetings where they talked about the coming sales. A fudge and cookie sale was held which proved to be very successful. We looked forward eagerly to the spring semes- ter because it would give us our first chance to sponsor a big social event, the Soph Hop. Having the Soph Hop in mind, we elected Jack Mr. Brown's Advisory SPRING OFFICERS Treas., Carolyn Schultz, Vice-Pres. Bottoms as our president, assisted by a capable cabinet. This was the first time in the history of our class that a boy had been elected as president. Two sales were successfully put on under the leader- ship of these officers in addition to our orderly class meeting. We picked Daisy Mae's Choice as the name for our Soph Hop. Edna Washington acted as General Manager with Bill Allen assisting as Co-Manager. A 'Dog Patch theme, with plenty of schmooes, provided the decorations for the dance. The dance turned out to be the best attended dance in Encinal High School's history. With this one successful dance to our credit, we are looking for- ward to our Junior Prom next year, when once again we plan to put on a terrific dance.

FALL OFFICERS Tina Baker, Pres., Janice Jackson, Vice-Pres., Brenda Shephard, Sec., Wilma Johnson, Treas. When we returned to Encinal in the fall we settled down and began to work harder, happily knowing that we were no longer the lowest class at Encinal. Under the leadership of Tina Baker, president, and her cabinet our class began its most active term. Sponsoring three sales, pop- corn, coke, and Christmas paper, we were well on our way financially. We also had a noon dance which proved an enjoyable one. SPRING OFFICERS Walter King, Vice-Pres., Marion Potts, Sec., Larry Branchaud, Pres. President Walter King and our Low Sopho- more class started the new term by having a class meeting at which time we discussed more money-making activities.

Vy het : FALL OFFICERS Skip Seagle, Pres., Betty Matthews, Sec., Jack Wendel, Vice-Pres., Fred Volking, Treas. In the fall of 1955 we entered Encinal High School as low freshmen. After the first few weeks, which are traditionally the hardest for freshmen, we settled down to the job of electing officers to lead us in the coming semester. Skip Seagle was elected to the position of president. Immediately following the election we held a sale of Hello Day ribbons which proved to be greatly in demand. Since this sale was so suc- cessful we decided to sell ribbons for the football games. Following a class meeting and several SPRING OFFICERS Slangerup, Pres., Dale Debold, Treas. cabinet meetings we held our first social affair. This consisted of a dance held in the cafetorium after school for freshmen only. During the spring term, Gail Slangerup was elected president. During her term we had two class meetings and two sales. We take pride in the fact that our class has been very active, and in so doing, has furthered itself financially. As of now, we are awaiting our chance as sophomores for even more opportunities.

The Class of February 1960 . SPRING OFFICERS Karen Snyder, Sec., Judy Corbett, Pres., Mary Dulle, Treas., Tom Verrinder, Vice-Pres. As the class of February 1960, we are now the lowest class at Encinal High School. Naturally, while we enjoy being students at Encinal High School, even if it is as low freshmen, we eagerly look forward to the time when we will vacate our position to an incoming class. We have now gotten past the first few weeks of high school life and have settled down to our new class rooms. When our class became one-hundred per cent in the sale of student body cards before many of the upper classes, we felt very proud. One of the first major steps that we took as low freshmen was to elect class officers. Judy Corbett was chosen to lead our class through its first term. With this done we put on two sales which proved to be successful. As a low freshman class we take pride in the fact that we have participated in all the activities. We helped to put on the opening dance and also attended it. Not only have we done this but members of our class have gone out for the various sports offered at Encinal High School. We are looking forward to our next four years at Encinal High School, for we intend to take an active part in our school and its student body.

The California Scholarship Federation was organ- ized in the spring of 1956 to foster a high standard of scholarship and general attainment on the part of the students of Encinal High School.

During the fall semester of 1953 the members of Encinal High School who were interested in foster- ing high scholastic achievement met to organize an honor society for Encinal High School. This group chose as its name Sigma Epsilon, signifying the first letters of the words Scholars of Encinal. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution containing the purposes of the organization and qualifications for membership. The committee and the sponsor of the organization, Mrs. Jeffs, prepared the constitution which stated that the purposes of Sigma Epsilon are the following: to encourage a desire for high scholarship and worthy citizenship among the students of Encinal, to estab- lish a permanent loan fund for students interested in furthering their education, and to provide activi- ties throughout the year which will maintain group interest. The constitution states that all students who maintain a ''B average in both scholarship and ° ‘ a ae a Shull, L. Stone. Huesby, Howard, B. A. Neville, P. Auger, M. Raun, R. McNeil. Back row: C. Bent, J. Morgan. Sorensen, E. Thistle, W. citizenship are eligible for membership. Since its organization, Sigma Epsilon has en- gaged in numerous activities, both social and educational. The group has taken field trips to the University of California, to Stanford University, and San Jose State College. They have entertained and exchanged ideas with the members of the California Scholarship Federation at Alameda High School. They have had pot-luck dinners and dancing in our cafetorium each semester, and have held picnics with other clubs. As a means of raising funds they have held numerous candy and cookie sales throughout the year. We feel that Sigma Epsilon Honor Society, in the short time it has been functioning, has done a fine job in its efforts to foster the purposes for which the organization was founded, and hope that it will continue to encourage a desire for outstanding scholarship and citizenship at Encinal.

It was also organized for the promotion of activities and money- making projects with a view to contri- buting for a scholarship. Starting with eighteen members, the French Club has grown to its present membership of thirty-three. Sponsored by Dr. Harriet Haas, the French Club has held sales of various types, sixteen in all, including a flower sale in the spring. Other money-making activities of the organization include movies and slides of Europe, coke dates, and exchange breakfasts and dinners with other High Schools. In May of 1955, the Club was honored by having one of its members, Glenn Keator, win the National Competition Award. Keator, K. Moresi, E. Lyons, L. Wright, B. Brown, C. Kriss, L.

This club was organ- ized in the spring of 1953 and therefore, numbers among the oldest organizations at this school. This past term has been a very active one for Los Robles Nobles, the name given the Spanish Club. (For the benefit of those people whose knowledge of Spanish is not exactly fluent, Los Robles Nobles means the Noble Oaks.) The traditional evening dinner was held in December with a dance following the dinner. This year's dinner was pot-luck but previously enchilada and taco dinners had been given. Besides sponsoring two tamale sales, the club has held a snow cone sale and has had a booth at the Spring Fiesta. It also makes a project of sending old but usable books to some foreign country where they are in need. The Spanish Club is looked upon by most of the students as one of the most interesting and worthwhile organizations at school. Los Robles Nobles has earned this admiration. Kneeling: R. Gregory, K.

During the year of 1956 the total membership of this organization has been sixty-five. The Science Club has held no money- making activities but has many other types of activities. The members take about six trips and hold one potluck dinner during each term. Some of the past activities have been various trips that were taken by the members such as a trip to the Science Fair, and a Fossil Trip. This club has entered the Science Fair for the past two years and has represented Encinal with very superior work. In 1955, Robert Mimms won first prize and the Grand Award in the Junior Division of Physical Science with his Chromatography of Plant Pigments. Some members of the Science Club also won the first Grand Group Award; their presentation was an exhibit on Prehistoric Animals. This organization has established Encinal High School as an active school interested in Science. We can well be proud of our Science Club; may it continue to do the excellent job in the future that it has done in the past. na . _ a sz Front row, kneeling: R. Jaramillo, J. Vachter, R.

Organized in the spring of 1953, the Junior Red Cross was formed as a service group; their emphasis has been on being of service to those in need. In the past this organization, sponsored by Miss L. Sibley and Mrs. Hegeman, has been responsible for collecting at school Christmas decor- ation and trees that are donated to the chapter by various organizations. Representatives are elected by their advisories to be a Red Cross represent- ative; an alternate is also elected. This organization has had no particular money-making activities until this year, other than the membership drive that occurs once a year in the fall of the year. This year the Junior Red Cross held two food sales. Students who desire to help others may join the Junior Red Cross; the only require- ment for membership is the willingness to ® Spee : Junior Red Cross work and be of service in the various pro- jects the organization offers. Of the members in this organization two OFFICERS Z are chosen as delegates to go to the sum- Fali Spring mer training camp; the Junior Red Cross also receives the National Junior Red Cross magazine. This organization offers an opportunity to everyone to be of service to his fellowmen and is a credit to our school Kay Black Secretary Carol Harris for its fine work in the past and that which students will know of in the future.

The Photography Club, sponsored by Mr. Rice and Mr. Kline, was started in the spring of 1955, but it did not really commence until the following fall. The organization membership totals fifteen mem- bers. This club has the responsibility of taking pic- tures for the Echo and the ''Horizon.' ' They are working to get a photography contest underway. For social activites the club has been taking pic- tures after classes around the school, experimenting by shooting different shots. On some evenings the members would work in their school darkroom, which is located between room 407 and room 408. The organization is planning to attend the Ala- meda Photographic Society Meetings where the members may learn interesting and important facts in photography. The Photography Club has held two cupcake sales as a means of raising money for their treasury. The Photography Club may be small in member- ship, but the responsibilities it has are many. It performs a vital job at Encinal High School.

Its officers maintain a great respon- sibility towards the members of the organ- ization itself. There are eight officers elected each semester by the girls to serve them. The social and service activities of this club are spreads, play days with various schools, sports days, and a picnic every spring. This year the Girls' Athletic Associ- ation has held various sales, such as cup- cake, cookie, candy cane, popcorn balls, and fudge. All the sales have proved successful. During the fall semester many of the girls participated in the play days at Amador High and San Francisco State. The spring semester found our girls participating at a play day at Hayward High. This spring the girls also participated in the Women's Athletic Association play day at the Uni- versity of California.

This club was started in the fall of '55 with the total membership of twenty- four boys. The Men's Block ''E ’, sponsored by Mr. Cadwell, has increased its member- ship to thirty-two boys. This organization was organized to pro- mote better sportsmanship and team work among the Lettermen's Varsity Association and the entire student body of boys. The only money-making activity of the club has been the showing of a film of the Encinal versus Piedmont football game; the film was shown during fourth and fifth periods. The club is planning to hold further activities in the future. The club was organized to let all gradu- ate members of the club be able to attend all further athletic events. The president of the Men's Block 'E' ' is on the athletic committee—one of the three standing com- mittees of the Encinal Student Council— and may attend student council meetings.

The season of 1955 has been marked down in Bay Area sports history as the debut of the Encinal High School football team into A.C.A.L. competition. It was marked by many a defeat as well as victory for the young high school, for like any new school trying to build a tradition, Encinal had its pitfalls. We were entering one of the toughest leagues in Northern California. The rivals we were playing usually had two to three times as many students in their student body. But our football team went into this season with high spirits. The first game against Pitsburg turned out to be a victory, although it was well earned (by the way, Pittsburgh High is presently holding the championship in their league, the C.C.A.L.). Our second victory came in the very next game against Pleasant Hill. It also was our first home game this year. Then came Alameda, our first A.C.A.L. game. Alemeda turned the tables on us in the second half after we had battled them to a tie in the last minutes of the first half. After that we went on to register our first A.C.A.L. football victory by coming from behind in the second half, we defeated Richmond 13 to 12. Next came a hungry Piedmont team, who as yet had to win a football game in two A.C.A.L. starts. So a fired-up Piedmont eleven pulled away in the second half to give us a 26 to 6 clobbering.

After exchanging leads several times, San Lorenzo finally pulled away to win 33-27. At El Cerrito, our team, after leading 7 to 0 up to the end of the third quarter, lost due to the excellent catching ability of El Cerrito ends. Due to bad breaks and penalties at the wrong time, Encinal was not able to overcome Haywards 20 to 6 lead in the first half and, there- fore, had to chalk up another loss. Our final game of the season was on our home field against Berkeley, one of the toughest teams in the league. Although gaining more yards on the ground and in the air than Berkeley, we still got bumped hard for our last loss of the season. It would be great if we could win a game on statistics, but that is not possible. Although our Coach Cadwell gives team chalk talk. Mayes returns kick-off against Berkeley. JUNIOR VARSITY Encinal Amador San Lorenzo El Cerrito . Berkeley Hayward Alameda Richmond Piedmont Encinal Encinal Encinal Encinal Encinal Encinal Encinal 14 season can't be called a complete success, we must give credit to our team because they never quit once and always kept playing hard, tough football. We can be sure that Encinal, supposedly the baby high school of Alameda, will show, in the future years, what it is to have a powerful football team. In fact, next year should be a year of victory since the team is losing only five senior lettermen. Our J.V.'s also had a fairly successful season considering the inexperience of the club. Their record of 4 wins and 4 losses shows promise for the future. The freshmen team, coached by Coaches Brown and Gargiulo, also handed in a favorable performance. We are sure that this year's fresh- men team will provide some good football material for next season's Varsity and J.V. teams. Mascot unveiled at home game. COACH JAENSCH COACH BROWN Varsity Junior Varsity Varsity Hoopsters Under the able coaching of Coach Jaensch the Jets surprised quite a few of Encinal's opponents in the Alameda County Athletic League this year by winning five games of the fourteen game schedule. This is quite an improvement over last year's record of only one win. The team was not expected to place in the Alameda County Athletic League top five or six teams when it first started the basketball season, but in spite of all that was said, our still green and inexperienced team came in fifth in the final standings. Six-footers like Billy Smith, Mendy Wil- i Jerry Aldrich, F Percy Millet, C 104 Sidney Lane, F liams, and Percy Millet gave us the much- needed height which was missing last season. Sharpshooters like Bill Caver, Mack Gran- berry, and Don Johnson gave the Varsity Five needed points with some fine outside shoot- ing. Bill Caver, a graduating senior, finished the season with a 14.9 point average per game; he also made second-string on the All-Alameda County Athletic League basket- ball team. Since the Jets are only losing two seniors from their varsity they should be a very hard team to beat in the next few years. Especi- ally since we have some very talented Junior Varsitys moving up to the Varsity next fall.

Last year an inexperi- enced cinder team came in a surprising fifth in the A.C.A.L. track meet at the University of California oval. Coach George Cadwell and his Jet tracksters expect to have a much better season than last year. With the experience attained last season, there is no doubt in anybody's mind of the capa- bilities of this year's Track Team. Such stalwarts as Delbert Clayton in the 100, Mack Granberry in the Mile, Sherman Lee in the High Jump, Ken Eagleton in the Hurdles, Frank Gowans in the Broad Jump, and Henry Giudice and Sidney Lane in the Shot-Put and Discus should give our tracksters much needed points in Seated: M.

As of this time, our cindermen are continually breaking school and track records set early in the season and last year at our school and away, and in all probability they will continue to do so. There is a terrific track future in our school. We have plenty of room for the sport, and also all the equipment necessary for its success. We are also one of the few high schools that has a com- plete 440 track runway. In years to come, the Bay Area will hear much of the Track Teams Encinal High School will produce.

Jet Varsity Diamondmen shine in league play This year's Encinal nine is going into this baseball season with a much brighter future than they had the past season. With most of the experience of last year's team coming back, the Jets should be a dangerous foe to overcome. With pitchers like Ray Quintana and Jerry Aldrich holding down the hitting of the opposing team, and the much improved hitting of our Jets scoring runs, we should win more than our share of games in the Alameda County Athletic League. The backbone of this year's team consists of players like James Davis, catcher; Jerry Aldrich, pitcher and first base; Robert Davis, second base; Tom Harper, short stop; Don Johnson, third base; Jim Ogden and Curt Motton, left field; Don Sobrero, center field; Aubrey Hallam and Paul Dennan, right field; and last but not least, Ray Quintana, pitcher and center field. With the able coaching of Mr. Jaensch you will see the best team Encinal High School has as yet fielded on a baseball diamond in its short history. : ae Ray Quintana warns Don Sobrero, the batter, of the whizzing John Vachter valiantly tries to tag out Paul Dennan as he ball while catcher James Davis and Don Johnson look on. slides home and the umpire, Jerry Aldrich, seems to side with him.

At the beginning of spring, while all the boys were playing the traditional sports such as baseball and track, a group of boys interested in golf approached the head of the Athletic Department about forming a golf team to enter the Alameda County Athletic League. Although none of the boys could boast of any experience at the game they were all willing to learn. Within a couple of days there were ten boys signed up for the team. Practice began immediately with the boys going down to Ala- meda Golf Course. And was this first practice round something! The battle of Guadalcanal was much safer for the Marines. Golf balls and turf 7 we a ee te? '. © Don Montgomery prepares to drive. were flying in all directions. If we had been able to count by tens, we cou ld have kept track of the score. However, since that first hectic round, the team has slowly cut down on their scores. The squad is looking more and more like a team and will com- pete in four Alameda County Athletic League meets. Golf is a difficult sport to master, but the people who make the best golfers are those who start as young boys in high school. It is hoped that more young people will become interested over the summer and will try out for the squad next spring, for we feel that this sport offers great promise here at Encinal High School.

Cheerleaders During the past year school spirit has picked up considerably. Some of the people responsible no doubt, are our yell leaders. June Raimondi, head yell- leader went into the football season with four seasoned athletes as her assistants. Ray Quintana and Paul Dennan, who are both lettermen, and Odessa Elmore and Marie Mollart, who are very active in the Girls' Athletic Association. June, herself, is a modern dancer from way back. You can see from all this background material that the knowledge of our athletic assistants and the maneuvers of our modern dancer yell leader helped to bring together the finest yells in Encinal's history.

Pompom Girls This fall a new means of promoting school spirit appeared in our newly organized body of pom-pom girls. The selection of pom-pom girls is made by a special student-faculty com- mittee. The committee is comnosed of representatives from the Cheerleader Club and members of the faculty. To be eligible to be a pom-pom girl a girl must, first of all, be willing to attend each and every rally, game, and rehearsal. Our pom-pom girls must also be members of the Cheerleader Club and maintain high grades in both scholar- ships and citizenship. The pom-pom girls have helped the yell-leaders to get us really yelling for our Jets to go rolling down and over the other team. Myrna Timoney, head pom-pom girl, and Tina Longanecker, assistant to the head pom-pom girl, have organized many effective drills which are quite im- pressive. | believe the most important one to our rooters occurs when we see our eight pom-pom girls, all decked out in blue and white, on their knees bowing to our team as it prepares to go over the end zone for a touchdown. At basketball games and rallies our pom-pom girls are absolutely indispens- able. With so many students in attendance there is a much greater area to be covered by our cheerleaders. Our pom-pom girls are as much a part of Encinal as our Jet mascot, whom they escort onto the field. The Girls’ Physical Education Department and Left to right—Past G.A.A. Presidents: Fran Lenci $'55, Irene Takagawa S'54, Beverly Coffelt S'53, Carol Kolar F'53. Not pictured—Nedra McWhirter F'54. the history of the G.A.A. When Encinal High School opened its doors in the Fall of 1952 to a group of low and high freshmen, it did so as a completely new school with absolutely no activities or organizations. Gradually various organizatio1s began to take their place at Encinal High School as the needs and desires of its stud� nts began to shape themselves into these channels. It seems only natural, therefore, thit the Girls’ Athletic Association should be among the very first of the organizations started at this new school. Encinal High School had not been in ex’stence very long before it became apparent that the need for some sort of Girls' Athletis Association was imperative. So it was with this thought that in the Spring of 1953 the Girls' Athletic Association of Encinal High School was brought into being. Under the direction of Miss Rego, the o-ganization's first teacher and sponsor, the forty-six charter members took on the task 0° writing the constitution and establishing the Girls' Athletic Association as a lasting organization. Like any newly-started organization, th G.A.A. was at first limited in facilities. Nonetheless it was able to offer basketball volleyball, bowling, canoeing, and tennis as its first sports. Forty-six girls were lucky enough to b admitted as charter members of the G.A.A. All of them, however, deserved this privilege, for admittance into this organization was then, and is now, given only on the basis of certain qualifications. The G.A.A. was organized to promote good sportsmanship among the girls, so it is only natural that good sportsmanship would be one of the miin requirement for entry into this organiz- ation. A B average in scholarship, a 'B'' average in citizenship, as well as an ''A ' average in Physical Education are all requir2ments for entry. The G.A.A. chose as its first set of officers a corps headed by Beverly Coffelt, president; Carol Kolar, vice-president; Jane Kysor, secretary; and Kaye Peterson, treasurer. Since its organization in 1953 the following girls have served as President of the G.A.A.: Bev Coffelt, Carol Kolar, Irene Takagawa, Nedra McWhirter, Fran Lenci, Jan Wallraven, and Colleen Conroy. The G.A.A. is now a very large organization consisting of 86 girls and three teachers. Four new officers have been added to the initial four. It has established many traditions such as an initiation for new members, in which every new member has to go through several different stunts and skits in front of the rest of the G.A.A., the spread which is held for the installation of officers and the annual picnic where all the officers (out-going and in-coming) are initiated. 114 Girls’ Athletic Association offered a varied BASKETBALL Seated: T.

The Girls' Physical Education department offers to the girls of our school many activities. Girls may take regular P.E. and take part in such sports as softball, volleyball, basketball, and speed-away. Girls who are not quite so interested in participating in sports may take modern dance, a class in interpretive dancing. Those girls who are very interested in sports may become members of the Girls' Athletic Association. There are, however, certain requirements for admis- sion. When a girl meets these requirements, she is eligible for admittance. The G.A.A. offers the courses given in regular P.E. plus such sports as tennis, badminton, bowling, roller skating, ice skating, archery, hockey, drill team, fencing, deck tennis, canoeing, and swimming. G.A.A. is held during the last period of the day in order to give the girls the time necessary to travel to sports played away from the school. Every girl, before she graduates, must take a course in First Aid and Life Saving, and Hygiene. These courses are offered through the Girls' Physical Education department. Girls in archery try for correct form. Two games of doubles in badminton in the gym. Company A 33rd Battalion Cadet Corps brings honors to Encinal.. . First organized in September 1952 when our student body was formed, the California Cadet Corps was under the leadership of Captain Wendlendt, a member of our science department. In September 1953 Captain Wendlendt left our school to teach at San Jose State College, leaving the responsibility of leadership with Lieutenant Bruno Peinado, a member of our language department. Since organization we have set up our standards to comply with those of the Cadet handbook, such as standards for advance- ment, participation in summer encampment, and campaign awards. During our four years of organization we have taken an active part in school activities which include the Military Ball, military queen contest, participation in parades, and foot- ball games, rifle shooting, and supporting the disabled American veterans. We of the Cadet Corps realize that our school is still young, but we are striving to maintain the high standards of Cadet Corps all over the state. Company Officers: Roth Morgan, Don Beckie, Robert Jolly, Richard Bush, Dominic Cavallo. Encinal's color guard presents the colors at all football games and school func- tions. Claude English, Harre Demore, David Peppard and Tom Cabral stand ready to present colors. The first organization at Encinal High School to receive a trophy was the California Cadet Corps Drill Team. Last year in October our drill team performed in a competition drill which won us first place. As well as receiving honors, the C.C.C. gives a great deal of service to E.H.S. activities. Its members direct parking for dances and aid in traffic control for conferences held in our gym or cafetorium. They also aid in conducting visitors during Public Schools Week. The Military Ball, which is considered one of the main events of the years, is an annual event held in the Spring. Cadet Corps Drill Team has brought many honors for their military drills in public. Claude English, Jeff Bush, Bob Frazier, Garnold Frazier, Tom Cabral and others participate in rifle drill. Captain Bruno Peinado Commandant Lieutenant John Bay Asst. Commandant Rifle calisthenics help to coordi- nate the cadet corps platoons and keep it a uniform group which Encinal is proud of. Captain Bush inspects Tom Cabral's rifle during inspection of company. Inspections help to keep the company neat and good looking. Alan Wilson issues rifles to Rob- ert Sandin, Bob Mimms, Garnold Frazier, Jeff Bush and Mike Jef- fers before drill is held. Rifle instruction is an important part of military life. Robert Sandin instructs Garnold Frazier, Jeff Bush and Michael Jeffers on the proper handling of a rifle. Finding the right size uniform is as hard a job for a Cadet Corps member as an Army man. Alan Wilson after issuing Denis Neal a just the right size’ uniform tells him that he'll ''grow into it. Student instruction is another part of California Cadet Corps life.
