The Saints went into the CCS cham- pionship game undefeated. The assistant coaches that also had a hand in getting the Saints to the CCS playOoffs were Coach Tom Lebherz, Coach Steve Muma, and Coach Bill Rassmussen. Coach Gallegos said. This is the best Santa Teresa has seen their football team play since 1975, but this year we will win all of our CCS playoff games and I'm especially glad we beat Oak Grove 31 -10 at our homecoming game.” Jerry Romero, assistant coach for eight years with Galle- gos, said, Chon is an excellent coach and I see no reason why the football team can't become CCS champs. Romero thought it was special that Chon would watch the f s football games played here. ”1 think it shows that Chon cares about all the football teams from our school and he also gave me some hints on how to have a better game, says Romero. Gallegos started coaching at James Lick ten years before Santa Teresa opened. He has coached varsity football at Santa Teresa for fourteen years since the school opened. Gallegos has coached three players that went on to play professional football. He coached Jim Plunkett of the Oak- land Raiders, Rich Campbell of the Green Bay Packers, and Norris Williams of the Pittsburg Steelers. Norris was the first player from Santa Teresa to receive an athletic scholarship award. Gallegos played football for James Lick High School for four years, three years for San Jose State University, one year with the Oakland Raiders, and five years for the semi- professional San Jose Apaches. Gallegos played quarter- back for the Oakland Raiders in 1962. Sports 102

EMBERSHIP Has Its Privileges ------ OroaruMlions 04 Everyone has something for which he can take credit, and Santa Teresa's organizations give students the opportunity to get the credit they deserve. Whether it be music, cheerleading, speech, stu- dent government, or business, there is always a club or organization to join. A person might join a club to exercise his talents, to compete in his field of expertise, to learn more about something he is interested in, or to have a place where he can be- long and where he can make friends. All kinds of students join organiza- tions at ST. Athletes might join a cheerleading squad or the Ski Club, scholars might join academic clubs such as the California Scholarship Federation or the National Honor Society. The French Club and Span- ish Club are both examples of spe- cial interest clubs for anyone. Band and Dance Team are organizations for students with talent to exhibit. Santa Teresa's organizations ac- commodates a wide range of inter- ests and needs. Many of them have accomplishments to take credit for such as the Future Business Leaders of America who annually place in the top five in several business com- petitions, the International Relations Club who qualify to go to New York each year, or the ST Choir who were organized this year by Miss Shea. Every organization has an accom- plishment or goal that gives them a special pride. With any organization that a per- son chooses, membership always has its special privileges. By Shelley Woods.
