Class of 1972 Departs from Encina

Encina's class of 1972 will make its final appearance on June 7 at the El Camino football stadium. This site was chosen after much consideration and the decision was based on the best interests of the class.

The traditional "Pomp and Circumstance" march describes the types of emotions that are predominant at a ceremony of this type. The largeness of the evening is felt by parents, parting friends, and members of the administration. To those who can control their emotions the evening just passes on to circumstances.

Baccalaureate as it has been in the past has been discontinued because of lack of attendance. Students wishing to have a Baccalaureate service must make private arrangements at a church of their choice.

Immediately following the graduation ceremony the grads will board charter buses to San Francisco where they will have their all night party cruising on a boat on the bay.

Miss Carstensen Bids Farewell

Describing the senior class as an "outstanding group of Students," Miss, Arlene Carstenson, senior counselor, sends her best wishes for success in the future to the class of '72.

Miss Carstenson feels that this year's graduating seniors "have made some real contributions to the development of Encina High School," and that they were "a good group to work with.

After 13 vears of counseling at Encina, Miss Carstenson will be taking a sabbatical next year to rest and do some traveling.

One of the big satisfactions she has had, in being a counselor is that in counseling, there is personal contact with such a broad spectrum of people. It has given her pleasure to help the students, and to see them grow and develop. She says that in her job, there is "never a dull moment."

The one thing that Miss Carstenson regrets is that, because she had so many students to counsel. along with other assignments and duties, she couldn't do all the things she really wanted to do.

Memories of the Class of ‘72

By Clyde Crashcup

When the Class of 1972 entered the hallowed halls of Encina, it was not just another freshman class. It was a high-spirited talented mass of enthusiastic kids, destined to leave its mark on the school, and quite possibly merit the name of Encina's greatest class ever.

That first year was full of delightful successes as well as a few important failures. Class President Sheila McCombs led a futile attempt at a homecoming float. Cindy Ratcliffe reigned as freshman princess for the festivities, themed "Bali Hi." The attempted Apache Island was a disaster, and the float took a unanimous fourth place.

Frosh Lettermen

But the class showed class and signs of early greatness. Ten freshman athletes received Varsity letters, more than any previous frosh group. (Can you name them?) Five went on to become four-year lettermen. Intelligent frosh students swamped the California Scholarship Federation, the largest group yet.

Other determined rookies began showing talent in fields of drama, art, music, government, and every other school function. Only that year's junior class, (class of '70) could match the spirit of the freshmen. With a theme yell of "Who's the best, we’ll give you a clue, it's the class of '72," the freshmen actually won two rallies from the invincible juniors!

Frosh girls joined Pep E by the dozens showing sincere support for the school and class. Bernard Suter took over as class president after an unannounced departure of Miss McCombs. He managed to lead a drive to raise a few dollars by staging some exciting car washes.

Outrageous Party

As the year ended, Joe Lambert was elected Sophomore President in a runoff election with Diane Albert. That was three days after Joe hosted the outrageous freshman party at his former abode. Mollie Harris, Lorna Germaine, and Marie Krear were voted J.V. cheerleaders. The pace was started that year. It was the beginning of the beginning, a year to remember.

Sophomore Domination

As sophomores, the class began to dominate the school, but the class of '70 still held a major stronghold. Each class won half of the rally confrontations. There was also a confrontation on Halloween night, with, eggs, balloons, and fire extinguishers. The seniors got the best of the sophomores, but the police got the best of the seniors.

Cindy Hubbard was soph class princess. The float, a funny-looking eagle or something that was thrown together at Michelle De Vol's house took a miraculous third place! The J.V. football team lost the championship in the last game, as soph guard Johnny Johns started on the Varsity squad.

Half of the casts for the Crucible and Oklahoma were sophomores. Two-thirds of CSF, Mu Alpha Theta, Math-Science and Chess Clubs were made up of sophs. Two varsity basketball starters and one baseballer were sophomores. As president, Joe was a great guy, even if the class ended up $14.95 in the hole.

Wild Ski Trip

The ski trip was fun, except for the cuts and bruises, broken legs, and frostbite cases. Those snowball fights cost the class $12. The car washes were great, - if you like to have water fights and ruin paint jobs. Well, the year was fun, even if it didn't pay off.

Last year as juniors, the class of '72 hit the pinnacle of success! Victory! Led by class president Dave Jensen and float chairman Larry Fahn, who found Wes Greydanus to preside over construction at Cindy Cook's house, the super-mechanical junior float won first place! The juniors won all rallies but two!

They won confrontations with seniors at an egg-throw on Halloween night at the river, as well as a water-balloon fight at Encina one night. They won Tolo Week and Homecoming activity contests. Junior lettermen outnumbered all others together. The class came out of the hole for the first time in two years. Renee Michaelson was homecoming princess and Sue Brackett was Sweetheart Swing Princess.

Dreamy Junior Prom

The year ended in fine style on a threshold of a dream, the theme for the fantastic junior prom. Lynn Vanderhave was chosen Queen over a pretty group of princesses including Mollie Harris, Jane Colombero, Tammy Lee, and Sharon Bush. The junior year couldn't have been better, as the class proved that they were indeed the best.

This year concludes an era in the lives of the graduating seniors. It came and went like the others: fast, fun, and furious. It too was sparkled with success. Another float victory, and more domination with the exception of the rallies. Few seniors had time to show up but when they did, like at home coming, they won.

Queen Sue Goff and princesses Tammy Lee, Melinda Lambert, Jill Bedegrew, and Ellin Nichols reigned over the traditional event, themed "Long time gone."

Seniors Claire Gaines and Mike Babaco won Queen and King honors at the Sweetheart Dance. The senior class put on an open dance featuring Redwing. With estimates ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 people, the dance was called the most outrageous happening in Encina's history.

The Class made enough money to finance a Grad Party with the same group which might just out do the dance. To make more money they auctioned off a car with the AFS. Senioritis and lack of interest set in, and they were $I400 in the hole with two weeks to go, threatening to cancel the grad party.

Clutch Performance

They pulled through incredibly, and even made a couple hundred dollars. A full sized replica of a horse that sold for $35 highlighted the best senior auction in years. The Tolo Week was the best ever. The Nor-Cal bike rally was staged by student government. Wes Greydanus got a lot of publicity and it was a lot of fun for all involved, even though it was a financial flop.

Spirit leaders included senior cheerleaders Kathy Kutz and Michelle DeVol, song leaders Ellin Nichols, Tammy Lee and Elaine Farmer. Political leaders were Wes Greydanus, and Scott Hadley, SB Presidents. Leading the class in GPA was Sam Kong, a transfer student. Many other people in the class helped make this year perhaps the most memorable of all.

This short summary of the history of '72 is far from complete. Names were left out and events were forgotten, as there are many things to remember. These are but a few of the memories that the seniors will relive in the years to come. They may inspire some of them to look back and remember, perhaps to talk about the past years as they cruise in the bay next week. They will look back with varied emotions, just as they will leave Encina with varied emotions.

In Conclusion

Whether they leave happily or uncaring, sadly they will have ended one era of their life and begun a new one. Like the theme of their recent senior ball, it is the beginning of the end for them or the end of the beginning. The choice is theirs. Peace be with them.

Seniors In Sports

Encina had many fine senior athletes in the class of 1972. Although hardly any team came in first in the league, there were quite a few outstanding players.

In football, Encina's varsity team wound up with a 3-7 record to break in the new head coach, Dan Schwartz. With many injuries, the Apaches were cut down in size which proved to be fatal in the end when Encina needed it most. The strong Capital Valley Conference fought through Encina's first team and would have run over the second team if they had enough players.

Charlie Templeton did an excellent job in the offensive backfield and Shane Thompson controlled the offensive line. On defense, it was Mike Barragan in the backfield watching out for passes while Jerry Azevedo stopped the runs up the middle.

BASKETBALL
Basketball had its highlights as the Apaches ended with one of their best seasons in years. Coming back to end with a 7-7 win-loss record in league play, the Apaches proved to be one of the strongest teams in the league. Behind excellent coaching of Bill Lee, Encina left its mark wherever they went.

On any count, one could see that Dave Jensen, forward and center, led the Apaches in scoring. Tom Wickham and Mike Patterson were outstanding in their outside shooting and ball handling. Bob Greer, 6'7" center for the team gathered in the most rebounds.

BASEBALL
Encina's varsity baseball team, complete with new uniforms, wound up with an even 9-9 record. Spurts of hot hitting and pep talks enabled the ball handlers to win the last 3 games and finish in fourth place. Three-year letterman John Greenly greatly helped the team out this year playing second base superbly while contributing his fair share at bat. Steve Sanford used his powerful swing to lead the team with the highest batting average of .365. Both John and Steve were named to the 1972 CVC All Conference Team. Chris Oates was awarded an honorable mention.

GYMNASTICS
This year's gymnastics team finished strong even though many gymnasts were injured. They are eligible for the championship of Northern California if everything runs smooth. Chris Hagen will be racking up the points while Rick Vanderwegan follows closelv. Both gymnasts have competed strenuously throughout the year.

WRESTLING
Leading the Apache wrestlers this year to a third place finish were seniors Brad Bohannon and John Zentner. Bohannon had the best over-all record on the team, including placing in the C.V.C. tournament. Bohannon was also voted the Iron Man award, the only award given by the wrestling team to the grappler who has the most pride in the sport. Zentner finished the season with twenty wins and a ten loss record. He was also the only Encina wrestler to place in the Sub-Sectional tourney and go on to the Sections.

Turning in an outstanding performance this year also was senior Bernard Suter. Bernard wrestled in a Weight category 20 pounds too heavy for him, but still managed to pin several of his opponents.

Other seniors on the varsity team this year were Terry Bakkie and Van Rodgers. Both were plagued by illness and weight problems. Rodgers in particular had almost broken his ankle but came back to wrestle later in the season.

SOCCER
This year's Soccer team had another one of its fantastic years just finishing second. The team was led by several outstanding seniors. Mike Macias, the 1972 M.V.P. of the offensive players in the CVC, was a consistent scorer and a fantastic ball handier.

Charlie Templeton one of the first four year lettermen in soccer, was all league two years in a row, and just the most outstanding fullback to ever come out of Encina. Steve Podlas, the other four year letterman in soccer, never made all-league but he was consistently in the running for the honor.

Jim Hebner was always hustling on the field, was a great team man and he was known around the league for his head shot. Mike Barrigan as a Sophomore set a record for the number of goals in one game with 6, and in 1972 he was the team captain and held the team together with his play and attitude.

Darrell Mitchell was the goalie in both his junior and senior years, and though he wasn't always spectacular, he got the job done. Rex Smith was a consistent player who was always there when the team needed him.

SWIMMING
This year's Varsity swim team was a young one and as a result there are only two senior swimmers, they are Scott Hadley and Charlie Templeton.

Scott Hadley's specialties were the 100 yard breaststroke and the 200 yard individual medley. Scott consistently placed in all CVC meets. Hadley also swam in this year’s sub-sections but was eliminated from further competition at that point. Charlie Templeton swam both the 100 yard backstroke and 50 yard freestyle. Charlie was a steady swimmer who always seemed to be close at the finish.

TRACK
This year's Varsity track team came 10 points from being undefeated in league play. The team's success stemmed largely from the many outstanding senior trackmen. Leading the way all year was Ed Spolarich who was undefeated in 880 competition in 1972. He was voted the most valuable trackman for the season, and he anchors the fifth ranked two-mile relav team in the nation.

Bob Siebenthal, who for all the years at Encina "Was rated one of the top runners in the Conference, was always expected to bring in the points and seldom failed. He ran the second leg of the nationally ranked relay team. Dan Franke was also on the relay team that won national acclaim and was one of the team's consistent players.

Steve Cook was a good pole vaulter but unfortunately he broke his arm early in the season. Jeff Copley ran all sprints except the 100 and he did well in them all. Dan Sharpe was the 100, and 440 relay man, a consistent runner. Chuck Watts the pole vaulter and broadjumper, placed in the broad jump regularly. Chuck Dunning consistently placed in both the shot put and the discus.

GOLF
Heading up Encina's golf team this year was four letterman Gary "Rocky" Slater. Gary was last years numero uno also, making this his second year of being Encina's top golfer. The only senior on the team, Gary has done a very excellent job for the Apaches. Though struck by mononeucleosis and out of competition for the first three matches Gary has, with the able assistance of caddy Brigit Roche, been able to medal, or take first place, in twelve of the last sixteen matches.

WATER POLO
Encina's water polo team was struck this year by an over-abundance of seniors. Seniors on the varsity team this season were Steve Crosby, Joe Lambert, Jeff Jope, Bill Grebitus, Steve Valdez, Pat Sullivan, and Gary Nawrocki. These athletes, most of them out for the first time in water polo, carried the team to a winning season after a dismal start.

Both of water polo's trophies also went to seniors with Jeff Jope receiving the Most Valuable Player for his fine all-around work, and Joe Lambert getting the Most improved Player. "One of the most outstanding, unsung heroes" of the year according to Coach Peetz was Todd Andrews, who was however forced to resign after a disagreement with the administration.

CROSS COUNTRY
On the Cross Country team the final word in the meets was senior Ed "The Big Man" Spolarich. Though plagued by a bad injury during the middle of the season, Ed was able to come back and gut it out. Providing the team's depth this year were seniors Bobby Siebenthal, Jeff Copley, Dan Franke, and Joe Wieseler. Siebenthal and Coplev did an especially fine job garnering quite a few points for the Apaches.

Templeton Receives Top Award

This year, Outstanding Senior Sports Award goes to Charlie Templeton for his excellent participation in football, soccer, and swimming.

Templeton has played halfback for Encina's football team for four years. Coach Dan Schwartz commented, "Charlie has been one of the better players Encina has had and I wish I could have him back next year."

As a soccer player, Templeton received a varsity letter all four years. He helped the team out greatly with his excellent defense and helped the Apaches to be top contenders in the CVC league.

While in the pool, Charlie swam the butterfly and freestyle. Templeton racked up the points to help Encina win a lot of close meets.

"It's a fine honor and I'm glad to get it," replied Templeton when asked about the award. "I think it shows what an athlete can do if he tries."

Charlie was awarded a small trophy while his name will be put on the large annual trophy.

Girl’s Sports 1st Annual Banquet Tops Off Sports Year
