Our theme of awareness attempts to capture the feeling of this year's search to find good in everything and everyone. With this thought in mind, venture forth and recognize such memories........... 3 EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Jannie Hakala Janice Tifft We are living in a world of beauty, but how few of us open our eyes to see it! 4 IVe are heirs of ivonderful treasures from the past; treasures of literature and of the arts. They are ours for the asking— all our own to have and to enjoy, if only we desire them enough. -Lorado Taft 6 7 It is a to listen. To look up to see glorious privilege to live, to know, to act, to behold, to love, at the blue summer sky; the sun sink slowly beyond the line of the horizon; to watch the worlds come twinkling into view, first one by one, and the myriads that no man can count, 10 and lo! the universe is white with them; and you and I are here. . . -Marco Morrow A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows on row of natural objects, classified with name and form. -Goethe 15 Administration, Counseling PRINCIPAL Vernon Larson Our goal is to make the school a better place in which to learn. Toward this, we work with both students and teachers. The principal and his staff aim to help students achieve a better understanding of themselves, their abilities, interests, and career choices. ’’Know thyself are the by-words. The administration also seeks to help students understand our society and its many opportunities and aspects. To this end many different courses, programs, and co-curricular activities are supported and encouraged.

Typical situa- tions are: assisting students in occupational choices, in under- standing college admissions re- quirements and curricula, in registration for college entrance exams, applying for scholarships, counseling students in planning their high school programs, as- sisting troubled students with so- cial adjustment problems and in some instances simply lending a listening ear to a student who needs to talk to an adult.

The selec- tive EngLish program gives the student the chance of deciding what he will take. Approximately forty-five quarter English courses are offered at Juneau-Douglas High School. A great amount of required courses are set up during each hour of the day making it easier for the student to enroll in that par- ticular class. The English Department is working closely with the Junior High staff to coordinate the English curricula. Next year the program will be exclusively selective and it is hoped that a larger variety of courses will be offered.

F. S., French Club Advisor The foreign language department offers four years of high school level French or Spanish. Perhaps the most basic reason for learning a foreign language is the desire to expand our intellectual and cultural horizons. Through contact with people of another culture, we see how the rest of the world lives. To understand the world and its people, we should understand the languages.

With this in mind, the vocational education department has added one new administrative and two new teaching positions. Also, the industrial arts courses will eventually become vocationally oriented, rather than merely survey courses.

Courses are offered in five major areas: foods and nutrition, clothing and textiles, child development, housing and interior design, and marriage and family relations. The economics curriculum has been changed con- siderably from general to specific home economics courses. With specialized courses, the student can take exactly what he wants. This year the department offered several new courses. Food service is a two hour class in which food is pre- pared as it would be in a restaurant. Other firsts are classes in child development, interior designing and boys' chef. All of these are semester courses. Fresh- men and sophomores can take a course in family relat- ions while seniors take a class in family living. The great variety of courses offers students of any grade level to participate, which is what the department is aiming toward.

Advanced Physical Education is also offered for stud- ents who have completed first year P. E., who are really interested, and highly skilled in athletics. Girls' and boys' physical education differ in many ways. While the boys work largely on muscle build- ing activities, the girls work in recreational sports and gymnastics. Perhaps the most important development in phy- sical education is being able to work, play, and show excellent sportsmanship with fellow students. Julie Swift Freshman Girls' P. E., J.V.

The department is divided into four major areas: world his- tory, U. S. history, government, and the humanities. Under this program the student chooses spe- cific courses and instructors in his area of interest. The student is thus afforded a wide range of ideas and viewpoints which makes the curriculum more meaningful to him. This exchange of viewpoints helps make a more liberal edu- cation.

Approximately half of the students at Juneau- Douglas High School are enrolled in business education courses. This large number of stu- dents indicates a realization that some skills and knowledge in business practices are neces- sary for successful personal and vocational pursuits.

It is also a system or set of skills that we use to gather information. De- veloping these skills and understanding is the re- sponsi tali ty of the science department. Differ- ence in personality and individual student interest make it necessary to offer a wide variety of science courses in order to effectively meet this responsibility. When we solve problems of space and financing, we hope to offer a variety of courses, especially in the areas of environmental science. In way of changes or improvements, a new freshmen level curriculum is in three classrooms. Itfs an investigative approach with emphasis on chemistry and physics concepts. If proven satis- factory, this will be added to the earth science of- fered to freshmen.

It also pro- vides us with a unique experience in men- tal thought. Because of the ever increasing impor- tance of mathematics, the department must look for many new approaches to meet the changing needs of the students. This year a new concept of teaching Algebra I was introduced. A team of stu- dent aides and two teachers held two classes alternately in large and small groups. New material was introduced in the large group and working time was provided in the small groups. While the new material was introduced by one tea- cher the other was organizing and de- veloping the next unit. The program had two main advantages. The students re- ceived better prepared material and in- dividual help.

Student Council strives for Student Involvement This year the Student Council started a new service for the benefit of all students in J-D High. It came in the form of a new student counseling program. By working in conjunction with the school's counseling staff, this program was able to provide needed information to the students and it helped lighten the load at the main counseling office. Student Council proceeded in other directions, too. Rep- resentatives were sent to the Western Alaska Student Council Convention primarily to observe the structure and function of that organization. The results of this meeting were reflected by the proposal to form a Southeast Alaska Student Council As- sociation that would meet annually during the Southeast Basket- ball Tournament. Council also played a part in the upkeep of J-D High this year by choosing the new colors in the school's halls. Careful thought and consideration resulted in a better all-round atmosphere. Council also encountered some problems which continually plagued J-D High year after year. Litter, attendance, pep, and similar problems will always remain but with the all-around co-operation shown this year, they were definitely easier to live with. As the current trend is turning toward listening to the voice and opinion of the young, it is important that the young learn and understand some of the processes of our government. Stu- dent Council helps to provide opportunities for students to be- come involved. It helps provide the leadership to guide all stu- dents toward a common goal. — Tom Kowalczyk, A. S. B.

It is tra- ditional that she be crowned by the queen of the preceding year. The Pub Hop was held on October twenty-second in the Marie Drake Junior High School's gym. The J-Bird and Totem staffs decided on Moonshiners — a theme of jeans, patches, and straw hats. Everyone had one knee-slappin' good time. Eleven thirty marked the highlight of the dance.

After the events for the first day, all of the classes’ scores were very close except for the Juniors who kept their tradition by being dis- qualified in two of the three events. The sophomores were on top and stayed there through the third day. With the last day of spirit week a new class took the lead. As the pile of contestants cleared the floor, marking the close of another spirited spirit week, the scores were quickly fig- ured. TTie standings showed the Seniors with thirty eight points which was good enough for fourth place, the Freshmen took third place with thirty nine points, the Sophomores topped them with forty points for second place, and the Junior class of 1973 had a total of forty three points giving them the first place blue ribbon.

Never heard of it. Now that I know it I'll never forget. With your acceptance, I participated in the classes and activities. Thank you, students and teachers for your friendship, care and concern in helping me adjust to a new life. I was involved in this community's problems. I tried not only to get a lot out of this year, but to share my expert ences for your benefit. I leave now, but not forever. Thank you, Bears, for the greatest year of my life. Wilfried Lentz- ICYE exchange student Juneau-Douglas High School is so different to anything I've ever known. My experiences here will be invaluable. I've learned so much — not only during the classes, but by talking to everybody, students and teachers alike. The informality which I've noticed from the time I arrived is really pleasant -- and I was amazed with the choice of classes that were available to me. Back home I was told what classes I'd take until tenth grade. I am happy to have had a chance to be here. Steve Hoare- AFS exchange student discuss evening's activities.

At each meeting one could find the dark room light glow- ing, classes painting signs, or maybe a person working a kick wheel. The club provided a place where students could work on practically anything which had to do with the art field. At the same time, information, ad- vice and help was given to the students on all pro- jects. Art club encourages creativity among students at J-Hi Valerie Brooks draws upon her talents.

It also develops insight into the importance of maintaining their own health. Candy stripers aid in local medical facilities 74 Rifle club members aim for ‘Distinguished Expert’ award Mr. Collin and Mr. Eide help members to develop shooting proficiency. Danny Mustain takes a break. Wait! Don't I get to make a last phone call? Each meeting of the Rifle Club started out with a bang this year. During the two days each week that the club met, the more than forty members participated in regular shooting. Although marksmanship is a major part of the activities, the safe use of firearms and sportsman- ship are more Important rules for the shooters to learn. As the mem- bers improve their marksmanship they progress through a series of ranks which require a steadier hand and a more skillful eye. Besides regular shooting, the Rifle Club competes by postal matches every month against hundreds of other high schools in the United States. 75 76 Winning isn 't everything, but wanting to win is. -Vince Lombardi CrossCountry, J-Hi’s This year Juneau had a young and inexperienc- ed team.

Boys run a 10 kilometer course, which takes an average of 40 minutes to complete. Girls race an equally demanding 5 kilometers. This years' team, coached by Joe Heersink, proved to be an excellent group of athletes. Long hours and many months of vigorous training prepared the team for the racing season.

This is what head coach Bill Stavley says about his Track team. Our team’s performances back up what the coach has to say. We hold all but one of the Southeast records and several of the state rec- ords. With a tradition of winning already estab- lished and with the fine coaching of Bill Stavley, we should have an excellent team for years to come.

This year a total of forty girls turned out for Girls' Athletics and the forecast is to be doubled next year. Along with more competition in Cross Country, Basketball, Volleyball, Track, Gym- nastics and possible other sports, the teams will travel to more places. Everybody ready? It is reasonable that a man should be something worthier at the end of the year than he was at the beginning. — Henry Thoreau UMBERCMISSMGN 1975 It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge.

Our freshman class, being thoroughly Initiated during the first two weeks of our high school career, managed to survive it all with the fearless leadership of: BRIAN DAUGHERTY President, LIN SHAFER, Vice President, RENDA ROUNTREE, Secretary, and JANNIE HAKALA, Treasurer. In 1970, STU NELSON, President, RAY COLLINS, Vice President, LESLIE GRIGGS, Sec- retary, and KAREN WARD, Treasurer, stepped forward to guide us through a rather liberal year with open campus rights. Our Sophomore Variety Show, Enter the Youi , proved to be the highlight of the year, displaying undiscovered talent and imagination. Toward the close of the year we began to realize our forthcoming responsibilities of being upperclassmen. During 1971, we were stifled by a strict administration, although, class officers TOM KOWALCZYK, President, CINDY TRICE, Vice President, KAREN WARD, Secretary, and JANNIE KAKALA, Treasurer worked successfully to bricfee the communication gap. The Junior Class Play, The Trojan Women, was a thought provokir tragedy, though its popu- larity was short-lived. This Magic Moment, however, proved to be the best attended Jun- ior Prom in the history of Juneau-Douglas High School. By 1972, we had fully earned the title of the Almighty Seniors. TOM KOWALCZYK moved into the position of ASB President as we elected four completely new class officers: DAVE GELOTTE, President, DENI LANE, Vice President, LYNETTE ANDERSON, Secretary, and ARAL HAGERUP, Treasurer. Our Senior Class Play, David and Lisa, became the most pop- ular and effective play in J-D High's theatrical history. The Senior Ball, Moonlight Reflec- tions, entertained a comfortable crowd in the Gold Room of the Baranof. We became most active in our attempts to house and entertain 500 visitors for the Southeast Alaska Basketball Tournament. Having completed this major step in our lives we can look back with mixed emotions, but knowing that our todays and yesterdays are the blocks with which we build tomorrow. As our high school days pass before us, we look onward, to graduation, and to the beginnira? of new challenges... SENIOR CLASS MOTTO: The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Hot dog anyone? Joe Cool says, Hi! Peek-a-Boo To our 1972 Totem Staff: As the end of the year comes to a close, we can sit back and remember... the hassles - the laughs - those deadlines we never met - the lectures - the problems - the screaming (and crying) - frozen fin- gers and toes - the parties - the threats - the mid- night madness - the hilarity - and above all, the feel- ings of triumph and satisfaction when we closed the envelope containing the final deadline. Photographers - we could never have made it without all your efforts. Although we became impatient and irate at times, we never lost our faith in you. You did a magnificent job. Thanks! Mr. Ferrell, we are grateful to you for your patience and encouragement when times got rough! And now, what is there left for us to say? We ac- cepted a challenge and successfully met it. Most im- portant, however, is the increasing awareness we have come to know as a result - awareness of our world, the surrounding nature, and especially, aware- ness of each other. To the students of J-D High, we hope you, too, will realize the great significance of the smaller, unnoticed things in your life. Respect all people, all things, for each contribute in some way to the vast world of which you are a part. With many thanks for all your help and support, Your editors.
