Welcome to King Junior High, Dr. Denst and Mr. Cho! Dr. Denst majored in History in college and started her teaching career in Chicago. After teaching in high school, she decided to work in junior high because she liked the age group, 1 think this age group particularly needs a lot of caring and concern. says Dr. Denst. Dr. Denst thinks the staff at King is great. All of us here hope that she will stay a long time. Mr. Cho came to us from McChesney Junior High in Oakland. He went to Berkeley schools, including our school when it was called Garfield! The best part of his job is noticing students who have potential. Changes he would like to see include having every student reach his or her f otential, and having students get along well with each other. Dr. Denst is a welcome addition to King. Go for It inP.E.!

Another After School Every morning and every afternoon, students come and go from King. When the bell rings at 2:50 signaling that school is over, kids are already thinking of what they ' re going to do. After school there is always a lot of hustle and bus- tle. But when everyone has gone home, the school seems too empty. Mot for long, though. The next day the students will be back. And with another day, there will be another after school. By Sarah Hirsch Many ways of getting home. On the road again. 15 Yearbook Class It is a big job to put the King Yearbook together. In September the class gets organized. They plan the 5 signatures, or parts, of the book. Each student is on a committee. The committees are: planning, art, copy, photography and sales.- Each department has a lot of work to do. In Yearbook class the students learn about yearbook production by seeing videos. Then they design layouts, work on quad-pacs, write copy, headlines, body copy and cap- tions. They learn to do inter- views. The photographers take lots of pictures in class and out. The art department takes charge of the cover, division pages and spots. Finally, when the yearbook goes to the printers, the class evaluates, plans for the next year, and distributes the year- books in June. Picture 1.

You ' ve jumped from being a young seventh grader to geing an old 8th grader. You have to thinl about going to high school, do- ing more work, and just growing up in general. We ' re all looking forward to adjusting to high school, and we hope the 7th graders are looking forward to taking our places.

SPECIAL EVENTS 12th Annual M. L. King Award Ceremony On Friday, January 15th we had our 12th annual Martin Luther King Awards Ceremony. It would have been his 59th birthday. Martin Luther King was a black man who stood up for his rights until one day when he was shot down by a white man. We celebrated the assembly with speeches by four boys and four girls who were chosen from the eighth grade class as students who have demonstrated that they possess some of those qualities and ideals that made King the giant he was. The King Symphonic Band played under Mr. Hamilton ' s direction. Dr. Denst presented the Awards nominees, and Mr. Cho introduced the Honorable mention nominees. Mr. Hensch spoke on A Creative Approach to Awards. The eight Awards Nominees gave their speeches. The theme this year was A Drum Major for Justice. CONGRATULATIONS!

An assembly was held explaining the drive and asking for help from everyone. During the one-week food drive, the number of non-perishable items brought to school was 1,265. Ms. Scott ' s second period class won first place with 537 items, and Mrs. Smith ' s second period class came in second place with 356 items. The food was taken to McGee Avenue Baptist Church where it was used for their free meal program. Eva Perez and Abby Tuttle Layout by Rebecca Ward Friends show off food for friends. Rev. Stewart shai es Dr. Denst ' s hand gratefully. Ms. Scott ' s second period 48 ARTS t A close-up of skilled hands at work The art classes at King get a chance to try out many different art experiences. Mainly they learn about form and color. The first semester is spent learning about 3-D form and constructing forms from clay and other materials. Students also learn a little about perspec- tive, and on a nice day before it gets cold and rainy, you may see them outside drawing the school buildings to try out their skills at visual perspective. There are many art exhibits and contests to enter. From January on, the best work of the students is selected to represent King at exhibits in Berkeley, in California, and the U.S. It is exciting to have students receive recognition for their best work. King can be proud of that. Who knows, perhaps one of the students this year at King will become famous. But, no matter, every per- son will learn to appreciate and understand art much better. That will help them all their lives. 51 The Clarinet section practices hard for the concert Mr. Hamilton checks the score. In the King Junior High band, students play instruments such as the clarinet, flute, oboe, trumpet, percussion and many more. The students go to class during pre- period, and play their instruments. There are three concerts a year to give the band opportunities to per- form what they have learned. It takes much practice and discipline to be in the band, but, irt the end it will be a great help to those who want to continue their musical education. Pam Maurer and Ari Wittman Layout by Jaime Maravilla The whole band starts to get it together The trombones are, playing their best. The Sound of Music 52 Drama is one of eight electives at King. Ms. Montrond (who is also an English teacher) heads the group. She works with two classes of King actors and actresses, and gives them pointers and critiques. In drama, students learn to im- provise, shape characters and successfully ex- ecute skits and plays. Other classes are invited at different points in the year to view a sample of the classes ' wonderful work. The King drama program has helped each student become a suc- cessful actor with an individual style.

A Yearbook in the Making Getting the Yearbook is the most important event of the year. Students want to look back and remember the wonderful year of 1987-88. Doing the yearbook requires a lot of skills, such as writing, designing, photographing, and creativity. In making the yearbook, we do layouts, select and crop pictures, write copy, captions and headlines. The hardest part is doing the mugshot pages. This is Mrs. Lokken ' s fourth year as advisor of the yearbook class. Making the book is a design project, she says. We want to make it look good. When the hard work is over, all the students get a lot of pleasure out of spending hours looking at the book. Then we know it was all worth it.

Solving problems and planning ahea( SPORTS 58 Practicing for the game We learn a lot in PE. Some of the things we do are gymnastics, running, swimming and basketball, baseball and circuit training. We can get extra points to help our grade by running an extra lap around the track, by doing extra sit-ups in circuit training, and by swimming extra laps. PE is different from other classes. We don ' t have to use a pencil, or read or write; all we have to do is sports. There are only a couple of bad things about it — we have to change our clothes in 5 minutes, and we get tired! But, think about it, PE is probably the most popular class in school.

Taking notes about a book Reading a great book A relaxed moment in English A, B, C, D, E, that ' s how we start, but later on, English becomes more than just your ABC ' s . . . In English we progress in reading, writing, and in spelling. We read more books about historical sub- jects, and we are taught to write more creatively. The teachers have to really know English in order to teach such an important subject. It is important because it is a subject we will need to know all our lives in college, in our work, and in writing and reading for our own pleasure. Without the ABC ' s we learned in kindergarten and what we are learning now, this paragraph and tons of homework could not have been written. By Sarah Hirsch Reading is an important part of history Ms. Gordon reflecting on a serious moment in history A student gets help from Ms. Hall Historic Times at King History is one of the six subjects we study, and one of the most important. In history we read about the world of long ago and the w orld today. History is not only learning the important things that happened in the past, but it is also learning about dif- ferent people and different cultures. In history the 7th graders study countries such as Greece, Rome and China. The 8th graders study American history. Even as we learn it, history in the world is being made! By Sarah Hirsch and Sarah Colton 62 Layout by Cesar Hernandez Learning history the happy way Ms. Smith smiles at her class t. Sperber teaching and preaching. Laughing is a part of Social Living Reading up about life. Social Living — All About Life Social Living is taken for one semester by all eighth graders. It teaches them all about life. Some sub- jects covered in Social Living are drugs, sex education, and how to get through life in general. Many films and guest speakers help Mr. Q. and Dr. Sperber educate the classes. By Selim Star and Steve Crook Layout by Ari Wittman 63 64 The Plusses and Minuses of Math Math is one of the more challenging subjects we take. Seventh grade students learn a variety of dif- ferent types of math, including geometry, and get a taste of algebra. In the eighth grade, advanced students are learning pre-algebra while the other eighth grade classes are working hard at the trials and tribulations of math of all kinds. Although math is a difficult subject for many, it helps us all throughout our lives. Layout by Rima Zagarra Exploring in Science In science class, students learn about life and its surrounding pro- perties. They learn through ex- perimentation in the lab about the properties and chemical struc- tures of matter. In science class, we have to work hard, but mostly it is fun.. The science teachers are Ms. Ball, Mr. Dean, and Mr. Freeman. by Crystal Maurer Layout by Rima Science students do experiments King Students Stretch Their Minds Across the World King students have the opportunity to learn French, Spanish and Italian. They have textbooks for each language, and study it through reading, writing dicta- tions, and speaking. They see films about the people of these countries and learn about each culture. Although learning a foreign language is hard, if a person studies, anything is possible. King students have the opportunity to stretch their minds across the world by learning a language. Layout by Charlene Williams 66 Computer and Typing Layout by Rebecca Ward Learning computer skills Is important Computer and typing are two elective classes. The first days are hard, because we have to memorize the keyboard. Mr. Hensch, the computer teacher, introduces students to computer skills and information. The students learn different hardware systems, and pro- grams. The students learn word processing and create a classroom newspaper and magazines. Ms. O ' Gilvie is the typing teacher. She teaches classes in typing and office practice. Classes such as computer and typing are some of the elective classes at King that give the students a good all-around education. Typing requires concentration She ' s keeping her eyes on her work. f s i 1 - J Winter Dance Layout by Dung Tran Everyone gets together at dances. Feachers can have fun at dances, too!
