ASB Elections In Near Future It is not too early for Huskies to begin thinking about nmning for an ASB Student Council Office. The
petition packages will be available on March 26. The candidates can circulate their petitions from the
26th through AprilS. The elections will be held on April 26.
The Student Body Constitution states the qualifications one must have to run for an ASB office. Can­
didates for the offices of president and vice-president must have a B (3.0) average, and must be a junior.
Candidates for the offices of ASB Secretary, Treasurer, Head Varsity Yell Leader, Inter-Club Council
Coordinator, Boy's Athletic Representative, and the Hatchet and WaShingtonian Editors must carry a C­
plus (2.5) average. Candidates for the offices of Hatchet and Washingtonian Editors must have the
approval of the advisor of their organizations. The student body does not vote for these offices.
Any individual can run for Secretary, Treasurer, ICC Coordinator, Athletic Representative and Head
Yell Leader provided they have had no more than one referral to the dean, and no more than 15 absences
in the last two semesters.
Huskies UHang -Ten" Again' The days of "Surfer Joe," skateboards and "hanging ten" on the old
surfboard are coming back! The Inter-Club Council is sponsoring
WHS's first "Surf Week." During the week of March 19-22, students
and faculty can get into the swing of things by "dressing down" in
cutoffs, sandals, Hawaiian shirts, striped "Surfer" shirts and tank
tops. Skateboard and frisbee contests will be held and a Malibu Beach
atmosphere will prevail throughout the week.
The highlight o("Surf Week" will be a concert featuring "Papa Du
Run Da Run." This group will bring back the sounds of the Beach
Boys, Jan and Dean, the Ventures and all the other surfing music
kings of the mid-1960's. "Papa Du Run Da Run" will perform free of
charge on the patio at lunchtime, Tuesday, March 20. The concert will
be held Thursday, March 22, and tickets are $2.
PTA To Include Students
The PTA will expand its organization so students can have a voice in
determining the direction in which WHS is headed. The organization
will be called "PTSA", the "s" standing for students.
The PTA charter must be changed before Washington students can
join. This will be done in the near future. David DeRoos, one of the co­
ordinators of this project feels that "greater progress can be made if
the students, parents and teachers can get everything together in a
joint effort. This program would be beneficial to all, for it would in­
crease communication and action between the parents, teachers and
students."
An example of how the PTA and the students can work har­
moniously and constructively would be the Main Building crisis. When
the students got together in the reconstruction project, the PTA gave
the student efforts their full support.
DeRoos said the "PTA is anxious to join with the students. All
agreed it would be a great thing."
Birth Control Seminar - Mar. 9
Student Council will sponsor a seminar-discussion group dealing
with birth control, abortions and veneral disease next Friday, March 9
at lunch.
A speaker from the local Family Planning Agency will be on hand to
answer. any questions and to provide information on birth control,
abortions and venereal disease. The seminar will take place in PIO,
and both male and female students and facalty members are invited to
attend. More info available in future A period bulletins.
We Goofed! In the February 9 issue of
The Hatchet, two recipients of
the Bank of America
Achievement Certificates
were not printed due to a
technical error.
The staff would like to
apologize to Steve Coon,
winner of the mathematics
certificate, and Matt Messner,
the lab science certificate
winner.

$50 was allocated for
out a form, Grace felt that the
candidates should be interviewed hay bales and other decorations
also. Mr. Robert Bening, adviser · that will enhance the girls' gym.
The treasurer reported a
to Student Council, told Council
balance
of $1,525 in the general
that oral interviews would be too
time consuming. It was then account.
Reps Hear Loitering Problems Mr. Robert Bening explained to the Representative assembly the
"no-loitering" laws in the area across the street from the maintenance
yard and the old football stadium. Bening spoke about the drug
problem, the traffic problem, and the hassles with the property
owners at last Tuesday's meeting.
The "no-loitering" laws were necessary because "it's a way of
trying to save open campus," said Mr. Bening.
Other business discussed at the meeting:
David DeRoos, representative to the School Board, announced that
the plans for the re-construction of the main building have been drawn
up. The blueprints include plans to have the Student Store in room 10,
with a platform extending out to the patio.
Plans for the Sadie Hawkins Dance ~re discussed and volunteers
for the "Boy Chase" were asked for. A marriage booth will be at the
dance with Blase de Roco as ".Marryin' Sam", the preacher per­
forming the ceremonies.
March 15 Is Deadline For Disneyland Trip The senior overnight trip to Disneyland will be June 1. This will be a
jet trip to the "happiest place on earth" where only graduates will be
present. Those people, once inside, will be er.titled to unlimited use of
normally operating attractions except the shooting galleries.
The cost is $45, and that gets you to, into, and back from Disneyland.
March 15 is the deadline for turning in a $10 deposit to the student
store.
The one stri~g is that in order to get in the graduates will have to be
in formal attire. Dress suit and tie and dresses or coordinated pants
suit are expected by' the Disneyland staff. But this also means that
only graduates and chaperones will be admitted during the party
schedule.
The park opens for this special event at 11 p.m. and closes at 5 a.m.
There is going to be a chaperone for every 20 peopel. These people will
help control the "no alcoholic beverage" rule.
Bank Americards will be accepted by most restaurants and stores.
There will be a special $1 Graduate Nite meal offered at most
restaurants.
Record Review
New Group Gets It Together
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - b y Rick Ueberschaer
For those of you who are
looking for a fresh new rock
album, Steely Dan has it. You
may know the group by their hit
song, "Do it Again." This is the
group's first albwn, but when you
hear them they sound like they've
been playing together for a long
time. It's a bold, new albwn. If a
change is what you want, then
this LP could' be what you need.
It's A Dog's Life
In New York City,the very wealthy ladies of Fifth Avenue
hire "sitters" for their poodles, afghans, malteses and
other such elite can ines.
These "dog-sitters" fee~, pamper; walk and curb their
client's poochies for $5-20 per dog
day.
In New York City, the very poor ladies of Harlem leave
their four year olds at home unattended because poverty
prevents those working mothers from hiring sitters for
their children.
There is a drastic shortage of day-care centers in
Harlem. The Headstart programs and the few day care
centers partially funded by the state or the federal
government are threatened by President Nixon's proposed
budget cuts in the Health, Education and Welfare
Departr:nent.
... so, Harlem's poor working mother goes off to her job
·worrying about herchild all alone at their home.
... and Fifth Avenue's wealthy socialite goes shopping
wondering if the sitter is giving her poodle 100 per cent
meat Alpo; rather than brand X with those meat by­
products and cereal.
I think this nation's going to the dogs.

"Prudish" Huskies Appalled Spies At WHS?
/
Open Letter To Student Store D.J.'s
As a member of the clan that congregates in the patio, I can truly
say that it sure is nice bopping to the good vibes of piped-in music once
again ...
... but must you listen to the same tunes over and over again?
It seems like the "disc jockeys" in the student store are not taking
into consideration the tastes of the people. There are many decent
albums sitting arolIDd in the student store, but the boys in the sound
booth seem to concentrate on playing Led Zepplin or Creedeoce
Clearwater repeatedly.
Have a heart, "KWHS" d.j. 's! Find out the
people's tastes!
signed-the editor
and maybe even a little bit of
Grateful Dead will probably like
this album. The songs on the LP
have good rhythm to them, and
whenever you listen to the album
it gets better all the time.
The albwn Steely Dan has put
together is a good one. I highly
recommend this album for people
who want something of a change
and who really appreciate good music. SADIE HA WKINS DANCE
Letters To The Editor:
Dear Editor-in-Chief of the Hatchet,
We, the people of Mr. Ficken's A period class (Room 202, senior),
are shocked and appalled by the recent lack of taste in our school
newspaper.
What was once a fine and proud·example of clean, American jour­
nalism has .now become an underground smut sheet not unlike the
Berkeley Barb. This we feel is due to that pink~hippie subversive
influence of the radical Ms. Grace Davis.
In past weeks, the Hatchet has reached the heights of crudeness.
Editorials have condoned free love, and they have also attacked
justified school policies. We were completely abhorred by our
Valentine's issue. This publication was nothing more than a
suggestive scandal sheet. Propositions!! Phone numbers! !
We as mature, tasteful, seniors express concern, not for ourselves,
­
but for the "virgin minds" of our freshmen.
We will continue in our fight to uphold the moral standards of Husky
High and we urge the staff of the Hatchet to "say no" to obscenity.
Tastefully yours,
Claudia Barr
Tom Botelho
P.S. This letter was completely written in flID and is more of a
compliment to the fantastic achievements Grace has made. Keep up
the good work and we anxiously await a Hatchet foldout of the month.
Steely Dan includes six
members who turn tlieir in­
dividual effort into one big
mellow sound. The vocals in the
group are excellent and the
music which is played comes in
very sharp and clear. The grouP .
doesn't play really fast music or
really slow music. It sort of drifts
somewhere in the middle. People who like Santana, Elton John, Dear Editor:
On February 22, 1973, the
across-the-street gang was spied
upon by a video-tape machine
and three men with curly tails.
Why were these "undercover"
agents sent to the Eggers Drive
gang? When asked why, they
were taking the movies, they
replied, "We're interested in the
YOlIDg youth of today." But how
interested? Are they interested in
providing a place for the people
to "hang around" at lunch or are
they interested in busting the
small amount of people who may
happen to smoke the killer week
in the back. I asked them if they
were from the police department
and their reply was negative, but
why did they have guns and C.B.
radios attached to their belts?
H you're one who likes eating
his llIDch in the sunny field in
back of Eggers, you've most
likely seen the F.P.D. playing
Adam 12 in the fields. They are
out to bust and if one is wise one
would keep eyes peeled and
roaches down, for the men with
the sunglasses playing candid
camera are out to get you .

AQuestion Of Morals
Vegetarianism Or Meat?
By Diane Howard
Three years ago, I decided to
become a vegetarian. My
decision was based on the fact
that I do not believe in hunting
and I feel it's wrong to kill
animals unnecessarily. My
beliefs as far as killing animals
somewhat conflict with beliefs I
have regarding abortion, but
that's another matter.
Being a vegetarian is an ego
trip at times and nothing but a
hassle other times. When people
listen with widEH!yed wonder
when I tell them about becoming
a vegetarian, it's a great boost to
my little ego. But when I'm
starving to death and all there is
in the house (or on the menu) are
hamburgers, steaks, or fish, it is
a hassle.
The only reason I ever made it
as a herbivore is because I love
both cheese and vegetables.
Besides that, my mother
mastered the fine art of cooking
soybeans, the vegetarian version
of the greatest invention since
Spaghettio's. Soybeans are a
vegetarians best friend. They can
double as baked beans, chili
beans, pinto beans, refried beans,
and roasted beans.
Another good source of protein
are lentils. They can be sprouted,
fried or baked into a casserole.
Mix them with cheese and some
rice and you've got a fully
balanced meal. Vegetarian Style,
of course .
Protein is something that a
vegetarian has to make sure he
gets enough . of. The beans
mentioned above supply some,
cheese supplies more, and
peanuts supply a goodly amount
also.
Some typical reactions to my
vegetarianism are: "But God
meant for us to eat theml" My
reaction is simply that I disagree,
and I think that they were put
here to LIVE. "But, Diane, what
about theplants!?" "I figure that
since I can't eat rocks, plant­
genocide is the lesser of two
evils." Then comes: "The
animals are too dumb to know the
difference, what does it hurt?"
Then I hand them the shocker:
"Would you eat a mentally
retarded person?" That should
quiet anyone who questions my
morals!

Bedridden Blues
By Mike Baptista
Just recently I found myself bedridden with a 104 degree tem­
perature, nagging backache and a cough that periodically sent me into
fits. My mother, fearing I had pneumonia, called the doctor. He
diagnosed my disease as a virus. Brilliant observation! He must have
graduated first in his class at medical school. What should be done for
the dreadful andromeda strain doctor sir? He prescribed bedrest for
at least three days. Three days I thought, Hmmm, that's not so bad, so
off to bed I went expecting a peaceful three day hibernation.
Those three days in bed brought me to the assumption that my
mother always wanted to be a nurse. Maybe it was just coincidental
that she began to wear a white dress when I came down with the virus,
but the white hat and orthopedic shoes gave her away. There she was
with Ii spoon in one hand, cough syrup in the other, acting out her role
better than Florence Nightingale herself.
Taking everything into consideration my mother made a pretty good
nurse. If she wasn't giving me cough syrup that the genius doctor
prescribed, then she was fluffing my pillow. IT she wasn't fluffing my
pillow, she was giving me aspirin; if not aspirin, it was water; if not
water, it was tidying up my bed; if not the bed, she was taking my
temperature; if not my temperature, it was cooking my meals; if not
any of these, she would always find another way to antagonize Ole until
finally I felt as if I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Something that really cooled me down and kept my mind occupied
was an icebath. This bath, again prescribed by my witch doctor, was
performed by putting water and ice in a small tub, dipping a washcloth
in the freezing water, wringing out the washcloth and applying this
sub-zero pieCe of material to a nice and warm 104 degree body.
Some say there's nothing like a cold beer to cool your thirst, or
there's nothing like a cold shower to wake you up after you've had one
too many cold beers. Well, I'm telling you there's nothing like an ice
bath to prick up your senses. I kept waiting for someone to pu t me on a
hook and stamp USDA CHOICE GRADE on my hind quarters.
Finally I overcame my sickness and went back to normal living.
Now that I wasn't diseased, no one was afraid of me. My mother had
stopped wearing her white dress, hat and orthopedic shoes. After all
the griping I did, I can say that doing nothing isn't bad as long as
you're doing something.

at his own rate of speed by means
of a notebook of lab assignments
which the student performs on a

General Motors has donated a
1973 Nova to the auto shop classes
according to Mr. Robert Wheeler,
instructor.
The classes will use the car to
complete assignments such as
adjusting headlights, servicing
the car and tuning it.
After taking the course,
students are able to do basic
preventative maintenance
operations specified by the
vehicle manufacturer and to do ­
service operations.
Students may work on their
own cars as well as the donated

Vocational Guidance
Many students are spending
part of their day on other cam­
puses. They are part of the
district-wide Regional Oc­
cupation Program which offers
21 vocational training classes.
As for the future, Claudia
wants to go to San Francisco
State. She also plans to try for the
Veteran's of World War I and II
Scholarship. As far as an acting
career is concerned, she shakes
her head. "I wouldn't stand a
chance. I am no Greta Garbo."
Nevertheless, she has hopes of
maybe becoming an actress in
A.C.T. (American Conversatory
Theater).
Sue Samuelson, a junior at
Washington, won the first round
of the annual Lions Club Speech
contest Tuesday night at Villa del
Greco against two American
High students.
She will next go to the Newark
district, and if she is successful·
there she will move on to the third
round. If she succeeds to the sixth
round, she will receive either a
tWo thousand dollar scholarship
or one of three seven hundred
fifty dollar scholarships.
The subject for the contest was
"Adulthood at 18: Its Respon­
sibilities." The speeches had to
be from 5 to 10 minutes long.
Judging was based on sixty
percent content and forty percent
on delivery. Speech teachers
from colleges, lawyers from the
community, and school ad­
ministrators were the judges of
the students' speeches.
After you complete the course
you will be qualified to work in a
TV repair shop and the R.O.P.
will even assist in placement.

Two Grapplers To Siale Meel Soccer
Rob Avon (in foreground) helps pace his team to a strong second place
finish in the annual Washington Township Relays.
Preview
Washington High's varsity soccer squad ended
the season with a fourth place finish. Finishing
ahead of the Huskies were Newark, Irvington and
Kennedy.
Art Waechtler was the point total leader with 6
points in league play. Five of those 6 points were
assists. Rick Wariner was second with 5 points, 3
were goals. Mike Baptista and Dennis Anest were
tied with 4 points apiece.
For the season Waechtler again was the leader
with 8 points. Baptista and Wariner were second
with 7 points and Anest was third with 6 points. High
goal scorer was Baptista with 6. Anest and Wariner
had four goals.
Most saves by a goalie was by Ed Cambra with
114 saves. Earl Finlay was · right behind with 106
saves.
Both goalies Cambra and Finlay combined to
record 10 shut-outs in the season. Seven of those
were during league play.
The pups took a first place in league play.
Dripping Merman Second I·n Relays This year's dripping mermen will see a new face coaching the swim
team. Len Graf has coached waterpolo for the past three years and
now has been asked to take over the coaching job of the Husky mer­
men. He's replacing Bob Eustis, who is now coaching golf.
This year's team, with 35 men (13 more than last year), is expected
to finish in one of the top three places in league competition. Coach
Graf expects a good year with two other strong teams fighting for top
honors. That would be the Warriors of Mission, who lost a few of their
excellent swimmers, and Irvington's fish, who should really be strong.
Heading the varsity squad are three returning lettermen: Rich
Montgomery, Don Usedom, and Mark Binkley. Each is a strong,
versatile swimmer and should play a big part in gaining victory.
Sprint specialist Bob Ciapponi is expected to take the lightening quick
races with times probably down in the 25's or better. Breaststroke ace
will be Geoff Lane. Others who will be helping capture the title will be
John Johnson, Jeff Adams, Rob Avon, Robby Townsend, Scott
Baldwin, Scott Crosier, Carl Mills, and a Kennedy transfer, Rick:
Ueberschaer.
Leading the "B" squad is Joel Mork, Russ Stime, and freshman
Benny Lane. Also heading up the team are sophomores Ed Winsted,
Glen Renfro, and Eldon Wogen. When asked about the tryouts, Coach
Graf said, "They're mostly freshmen, but many of them played
waterpolo. I really haven't seen them yet."
Washington took second place in the Washington relays Saturday.
Swimming started off its dual meet season Tuesday against Kennedy.
Their meets are held almost every Tuesday and Friday afternoons.
Wrestling
Having been picked to finish fifth by the MYAL
coaches, the Washington High Wrestlers surprised
everyone by finish a strong second in the MVAL
Wrestling finals.
The grapplers were led by weight champs Dennis
Batteate (95), Gerry Mederiros (123), Glenn
Peterson (136), and Larry Miller (l5t;L
Finishing second in league were Garry Hunnicutt
(95) and Geoff Lane (1480 while Terell Duran (167)

WHS qualified two wrestlers , Glenn Peterson and
Dennis Batteate, for the state meet, which will be
held at Cal-State Hayward this weekend.
The junior varsity finished third in MVAL dual­
meet competition.
Basketball
Hustling, scrapping for points, and working as a
team led the Husky varsity cagers to a 16-5 team
record and a i.ie with Irvington for second place in
the MVAL.
Washington's 16-5 record was the best team
record since 1960-61. Much of the credit for the
winning record goes to guard Cart Roeber, who had
the opponents double teaming him all season. This
left forward Bob George open to average 15.6 points
per game with 327 points for the season. Even
double teamed , Roeber netted 305 points while
averaging 14.5 per game.
Ken Key led the Huskies in rebounding, pulling
down 231 rebounds for the season. Larry Brinlee
averaged 83.3 per cent from the free throw line,
hitting on 25 of 30 attempts.
Coach Rich Botelho credits everyone with an
excellent season. He didn't think the team would
finish as high as second in the league.
For the junior varsity and frosh cagers it was a
tough season. Although the JVs finished the season
winning the last three games, they had a 7-7 record
for fourth place. The freshmen finished last in
league competition.
·Netters Team
To Beat In MVAL
Having dominated the MYAL
in tennis the last three seasons,
the Huskies still seem to be the
team to beat again this year.
Coach Stuart Kew's netters are
lead by returning letterman Todd
Crowe, who last year was the
number three singles man with a
season record of ten wins against
only two losses. Crowe is ex­
pected to be the main contender
for the MVAL singles cham­
pionships, which has been
dominated in the past by
graduate Joe Meyers. Other
returnees are Dean LeBreton,
Kevin Miller, and Cliff Ngan.
The netters last year tabulated
a seasonal record of 11-1, only
losing to Canyon High at Castro
Valley by a 11-3 margin.
