Era Involves Change by: Colleen Parent When you think of the 1960's-197O's, what especially comes to mind? .The world saw radical change in the 60's. The assinations of Martin Luther King, Jr. and John F. Kennedy. The invasion of the Beatles and the hippies and flower children also come to mind. The '70's saw the kidnapping of American hostages in lran. When most of us were being born, many of our teachers were just graduating from high school. At that time, girls were required to wear dresses every day, except for certain designat- ed pant days. 1 The students of that era had many of the same concerns that students have today. Why are there so many thefts from cars in the student parking lot? Why are the lunch and brunch line so long, yet the time we have to eat is so short. Not until 1971, did the high school, as we know it today, exist. Then, the school was only housed on the north side of School Street and the school occupied several rooms in Village Elementary. ln 1963, the addition of an all weather track enhanced the Pirate Stadium and we became the first school in the DVAL with such a track. W The 1970's also saw some change. ln 1977, the Los Medanos Community Hospital moved to its present location on Loveridge Road. The facility is much larger now than its previous counterpart. Even the fashion of the 60's can be seen today with paisley tops and short mini skirts. Hair styles have also repeated with the resur- gence of the bob and the short straight cuts for guys. Some faculty and staff that were graduates of Pittsburg High in the 60's and 70's Include John Abono, Andy Aiello, Sharon Bruno, Gloria Clawson, Margo Gonzalez, Mark Lawrie, Dave Littleton, James McLennan, Terry Mercurio, Joanie Orlando, Frank Pizzimenti, Larry Rodri- guez, Cathy Sangimino, Corizon Willie, Darlene Wilson, Sara Jean Wood and Carol Zbadnik.
