' ' AW ' REFERENCE COLLECTION FOR USE IN THE LIBRARY ONLY BERKELEY PUBLIC LIBRARY BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA Central History Room 373.236T174W Spring 1953 The target TARGET SPRING ' 53 PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF WILLARD JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA PRINCIPAL ' S MESSAGE The most important event of this year, to all of us, has been the completion of our two new building units, the Shop-Music unit and the Boys ' Gymna- sium. With these new facilities, our program in instrumental music, crafts, woodshop and metal- shop can be greatly improved. The boys have a beautiful new building for physical education, and all pupils will use and enjoy the main gym room, with folding bleachers for spectators. The girls will now have exclusive use of the old gymnasium, with improved locker and shower rooms, and new lockers. As usual, our pupils have done well this year in scholarship and citizenship, and in interschool sports and contests. City championships won by Willard this year are: volleyball, L-8 girls and H-8 and L-9 boys basketball, H-8 girls ' and boys ' Class A, B, and D teams. In the American Legion essay contest, Willard pupils won first place in both the boys ' and the girls ' divisions. The annual Spring Concert was unusually fine, and our boys and girls will make a good showing in the Northern Cali- fornia Music Festival, the Junior Traffic Review, and the annual track meet. In all these activities our High Nines have had an important part, and we wish them continued success in high school. H. N. McClellan. PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Mr. Mc- Clellan, Mr. Sitkin, and the Student Council this term. At the time of this writing the council has not been overly active but several new ideas have been suggested. For instance, we are presently considering a new method for nominating student body officers. The sale of Student Body cards had the highest per cent since the fall of 1951, probably due to the fact that more privileges were offered. Many changes have occurred during the present term at Willard. A new initiation has been set up, in which all the proceedings take place in the audi- torium under the direction of a group of students appointed by Mr. McClellan, Mr. Dell ' Ergo, and Mr. Berry. The new Shop-Music building and the new Boys ' Gymnasium were put into use in March. On behalf of the graduating High Nines, I would like to thank Mr. McClellan, Mr. Dell ' Ergo, and the rest of the faculty for working so patiently with us these three enjoyable years at Willard. I would also like to express my good wishes to my fellow High Nines going on to Berkeley High, and to the rest of the Student Body who will stay here at Willard. Pete Herb.

ART CLUB This semester the Art Club has been meeting fourth period on Mondays, and is made up of only members interested in art. The membership is 30. Our officers are: President, Johnnie Chung, L-8; Vice-President, Ann Roper, H-9; Secretary, Pa- tricia Ono, H-8. In the fall term of 1952, we took part in the annual Hal- loween Window Painting Contest, the annual Red Cross project making Christmas posters and cards, 50 posters and over 300 greeting cards. This semester we took part in the Easter Poster project, over 30 posters for the Red Cross and the Easter Sunrise posters for the Berkeley Federation of Churches, Open House display work, Spring Day posters and decoration, and the Target posters. We also entered in the Scholastic Art Award and received two gold key awards and many honorable mentions. All in all, we had a very successful year for the Art Club. We will welcome new members in the coming year. Patricia Ono, Secretary. SCIENCE-HOBBY CLUB The Science-Hobby Club was organized for the purpose of sharing scientific ideas and hobbies among its members. The club has met twice a month during advisory period. At this time members of the club reported on the progress of their hobbies and on current events in science. Some of the hobbies have been displayed in the library. Gary Ackers was president during the fall semester and Gary Machunze during the spring semester. Gary Machunze. The Camera Club ' s purpose is to take candid pictures for the Target and also teach young photographers to take good pictures. The official photographers for the Target are Deb New- house and myself. We are given permission to go into class- rooms such as crafts, cooking, shop, and art, to take pictures. We also take pictures of school activities, such as dances, the Coronation, Spring Day, the Triangular Track Meet, and sports events. Also, the club has a couple of sly photogra- phers going around and taking pictures when people don ' t know it. The club would like to express its thanks to Mr. McClellan and Mr. Isono for their fine help and cooperation. Bob Armerding, President. DRAMA CLUB This semester Mr. Hughes organized a drama club. At first, twenty people joined, but the Mask and Wig membership has more than doubled since more people have become in- , terested. The first projects were to clean up the costume room in the auditorium and take inventory on what props we have. The club is getting under way now, and in the future we hope to give many good plays. The elected officers are: Presi- dent, Wendy Randall; Vice-President, Sally Rees; and Sec- retary, Liz Miller. The Sergeants-at-Arms are Terry Johnson and Lucy Ratcliff. Elizabeth Miller. JUNIOR RED CROSS We participated in many activities this year, including Flower Day in the fall and in the spring. For Christmas we made 122 menu covers, 447 favors, and 154 gift boxes were filled. There were 79 Christmas posters made by the Art De- partment, along with 301 Christmas cards. In our fund drive we collected $116.16. We made 52 Wash- ington ' s Birthday favors and 41 St. Patrick ' s Day decorations. The Art Club made 57 Easter posters, 19 Easter wall decora- tions, and 105 Easter favors. Also made were 50 clip boards, 35 cribbage boards, 35 lap boards, 30 wrist watch holders, and 30 spool dolls. In the sewing classes three dozen toys, and many skirts, blouses, dresses, and many other items were completed. Susan Singer. STUDENT CONTROL STUDENT COURT The Willard Student Control, consisting of 86 officers and 11 ranking officers, is one of the most important organizations in the Willard School government. The Student Control officers control the flow of traffic be- tween periods and at lunch time, while the Junior Traffic Police officers control the flow of traffic on the streets, and the Bike Lot officers keep order in the bike lot. To get on the Student Control, you must be in the upper division and have a citizenship grade of not less than a B in all subject courses taken. With the help and cooperation of Mr. McClellan, our prin- cipal, Mr. Burke, our advisor, and the faculty, we have had a very successful year. I am sure that with their help the Student Control officers in the future will also be able to help greatly in the operation of our student government. I would like to thank the following officers for their help during the past semester: Captain, Jeffery Green; Traffic Lieutenant, Richie Langfield; Lieutenant, Peter Scott; Ser- geants: Harry Chandler, Ronald Uyeyama, Don Crawford, Bill Vaughn, Bill Marsh, George Hirota, Bob Berela. Bill Sung, Chief. The purpose of the court is to try pupils who are issued tickets by the Student Control officers for breaking the Stu- dent Control rules. The sentences given to the pupils for breaking these rules are not entirely intended as punishment, but rather to try to help them follow and obey the rules for the best interests of all students. All cases are heard and judged as impartially as possible. All defendants are given an opportunity to enter a plea, of either guilty or not guilty, at the time of their appearance in court. Sentences differ according to the seriousness of the offense. During the past year we have handled approximately 300 tickets that were given out by the Student Control officers. The judges also serve on the Berkeley Bicycle Court at the Hall of Justice on Saturday mornings. The court is made up of Mr. Burke, our sponsor; associate judges Larry Barclay, Ann Ruggeri, and Sally Lidstone; bailiff, Billy Sung; desk clerks, Myrtis Jamerson and Ann Roper; and sergeants, Kate Bermel, Carole Ovelton and Carolyn Marks. Bob Armerding, Chief Justice. 14 STUDENT COUNCIL SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY The Student Council, composed of the student body presi- dent, vice-president, secretary, appointed commissioners, ad- visory presidents, and two faculty advisors, is the governing body of the school. It handles all business concerning the student body. All meetings are held in parliamentary fash- ion, headed by the President. The faculty advisors, Mr. McClellan and Mr. Sitkin, and the president, make the final decisions. Pete Herb. The Scholarship Society at Willard is an organization to which anyone may belong. Its purpose is to stimulate better scholarship among the students. To belong to this, one must have an average of 2.00 to 2.49 to make the good honor roll, and 2.50 to 3.00 to be eligible for the Superior group, and a citizenship grade of at least a B. The highest scholarship honor given at Willard is the Gold W, which is given to students of the Superior group who have been in the Scholarship Society through the L-7, H-7, L-8, H-8, and L-9. There is another honor, the Privilege Card, which is given at the end of the L-9. This entitles the bearer to special privileges. There are 182 members in the Scholar- ship Society. Twelve Gold W ' s were awarded this semes- ter, and 26 Privilege Cards. Bunny Estes. GIRLS ' GLEE CLUB This year has been an interesting one for the Girls ' Glee Club under the excellent leadership of Miss Bonney. There are 80 members and we have had lots of fun. We worked on Christmas songs in the fall term and sang for two programs. Robin Rich was president at that time. This semester we have worked on songs for the Spring Concert. We sang a new lullaby with a violin obbligato by Barbara Johnson, a beautiful sacred number, The Twenty- Third Psalm, and a Czechoslovakian folksong. Lucy Ratcliff and Susan Dunlap have assisted me as offi- cers this term. Barbara Yates, President. BOYS ' GLEE CLUB The Boys ' Glee Club has just completed another very suc- cessful year under the superb direction of Mrs. Edna Kellogg. Our organization, one of the most popular in the school, sang selections at the P.T.A. Christmas Program and the Student Body Christmas Assembly last fall. In the spring, we partici- p ated in the annual Spring Concert. Upon leaving the Glee Club, I would like to thank all the members for their wonderful cooperation, especially my fellow officers, Pete Scott and Harry Chandler, and the rest of the graduating High-Nines. Pete Herb. 16 THE WILLARD BAND ORCHESTRA There is a very fine group in the Willard Band. I am happy to be a member and would urge anyone interested an music to join. Our director, Mr. Caldwell, is an excellent leader, as he is patient, helpful, and inspiring. During the past year, the Willard Band played at the Le Conte School in October for the Halloween Parade. An- other performance was presented on February 20, for a school assembly. The band will compete in the Music Fes- tival of the northern district. We will also play for the Spring Concert and the Traffic Review. Roy Gelsick. The orchestra has had a very successful year. We played for the graduation in January. Right now we are rehearsing for the music festival in May. Last year we received an excel- lent rating at the music festival. We are hoping to receive a superior rating this year. We were very fortunate this year in getting the new music rooms, in the new building. We hope that next year we will be able to do even better than we did this year. Martha Harrison. 17 NINTH GRADE GIRLS ' BASKETBALL EIGHTH GRADE GIRLS ' BASKETBALL GIRLS ' SOFTBALL GIRLS ' BLOCK W 18 GIRLS ' SPORTS BOYS ' SPORTS This has been a banner year for the girls ' sports teams of Willard. In volleyball the H-9 and H-8 teams both won championships. The H-9 tied with Garfield for the champion- ship in basketball while the L-9 struggled but couldn ' t quite make it. The H-8, our wonder team, made a clean sweep and is now planning to be the champ ' on of next year too. The L-8 won one game and lost three. In the noon games the upper division winners were 112 in volleyball and 208 in basketball. In the middle division 211 won circles in both sports. The winners of the lower division were 212 in volleyball and in basketball. Because we now have our own gym, next year ' s program will be even more active. This year has been fun for all, and thanks to the swell coaching of Mrs. Bigelow and Mrs. Lareau, we have been very successful. Susan Ide. BLOCK W To become a member of the Block W Club you must participate on one of the interschool teams: softball, basketball, volleyball or track. The Block W Club this year has been big- ger and better than ever. Our annual bean feed was a huge success. Accompanying this event was a talent show under the supervision of Mrs. T. K. McManus, which added much zest. We all hope that next year ' s members will have just as must fun as we have had working under the supervision of Mr. Berry. Susan Ide Paul Hill. The year 1952-53 has been very successful to Willard in the amount of victories in interschool sports. In volleyball the H-8 were champs and the L-8 ' s put in a strong bid for the champion- ship. The L-9 ' s were also champs but the H-9 ' s failed to beat a tough Burbank team. Willard had terrific basketball teams this year. They were champs in four out of five divisions. The four champs being the H-9, unlimited, 115 ' s, and the 95 ' s. The team that didn ' t win was the 105 ' s, who lost a toughie to Burbank in an over- time. In softball, the H-9 ' s defeated the L-9 ' s in com- petition to represent the school and ended the interschool season with a co-championship with Garfield, winning three and losing one. The H-8 ' s represented the lower division but met some stiff competition and were defeated four times. The Noon League games went off very smoothly this year. In volleyball, 1 15 boys were the champs of the school. In passball, 104 boys were the champs. In basketball this year there was very stiff competition. Advisory 112 won the upper divi- sion, 211 won the middle division, and 206 won the lower division. Bill Vaughn. UNLIMITED-115 ' s BASKETBALL 105 ' s-95 ' s BOYS ' BASKETBALL BOYS ' SOFTBALL BOYS ' BLOCK W 20 RALLY COMMITTEE GIRLS ' LEAGUE The purpose of the Rally Committee is to build up school spirit. I think that we have done quite well in creating this spirit among the students. At the present time there are seventeen members in the Rally Committee. The Rally Committee has sponsored many activities this year. We have had one night dance, three noon dances, and three after-school dances. All of these have been quite suc- cessful. We have had two prep rallies, helped with Spring Day, and had cheerleaders present at the Triangular Track Meet and the Willard games. This has really been a successful year for the Rally Com- mittee. The members of the Rally Committee would like to give their thanks to Mr. McClellan, our principal, Miss Blumert of the Art Department, and Mr. Isono, our sponsor, for their help and cooperation. Barbara Ascher, Co-Chairman. This past term has been a very successful one for the Girls ' League. The Senior Committee sponsored a dance on May 1, at which a large number were present. Our noon and after- school dances also went over quite well.
