Carlmont High School - Yearbook (Belmont, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 66 of the 1953 volume:

X ! a - r-v r ' 5 fO I ' «J . of 1953 PUBLISHED BY THE VISTAS STAFF CARLMONT HIGH SCHOOL FIRST EDITION z-a u cc aJ c his book is a symbol of the work and worry of many people. It is a symbol of a dream and a reality. The dream was a school, a hig h school for San Carlos and Belmont. The hours of worry and work were many. The school had employed people to do everything from planting the foot-ball turf to finishing cabinets in the Science Building. While these workers were busy making our school ready for use, we were accepting the hospitality of our sister school Sequoia, who has given us more help than we could ever thank them for. We have used them as examples for our own school organization. In the time we were at Sequoia, we were preparing for the much anticipated day when we would occupy our new school. We formed our government, our sports activities, our amuse- ment activities and so very much more. We could not have done any of this without the help of our principal, Mr. Krogh, our deans, Mr. Griffin and Mrs. DuBois, and our teach- ers, wno acted as advisors and guides for all our activities. Above all it could not have been done without the assistance of our friends and neighbors in Belmont and San Carlos. These are the people who so willingly gave their assistance and support to so many of the things we have done. We may well be proud of what we have done this year. We have laid a good foundation for an even better school. We, therefore, dedicate this book with our sincere appreciation and gratitude, to the people who have made our school possible. These people have helped us to make our school something to be proud of. IH ■ T i M HfiMii ' •IBM! « Ip ' P !  tOT - li i; m .li ' ' 3i i r i mi ■ 1 1 1 1 1 ' - ' ;; ?- :-j II 1 .

May igh school life lead our vistas to include ountry and the world. How appropriate that we should have VISTAS for our annual when we have such vantage points as high land position for for our new school, a two-year school in the beginning, a most enthusiastic and forward-looking staff, thoughtful and wise men setting policies for the schools in the district, and students filled with pioneer spirit. Is it any wonder that our outlook is optimistic, our attitude friend- ly, our interest in one another deep? May VISTAS mean this and mych more to the many fortunate students now at Carlmont and to those yet to come. C i.

The people who were interested, working to- gether during the summer, put out the first edition of a paper on the first day of school, September 10th. Art Blumenthal, Dave Matlock, and the Carlmonitor ' s present editor-in-chief, Ross Dunn, Approached Mr. San- ford last June with the idea. During the summer, the in- terested persons visited various printers on the Peninsu- la. Mr. Sanford and Ross gave speeches at the San Carlos Chamber of Commerce explaining some of the paper ' s goals. The office was finally located at the San Carlos Enquirer . With the success of the first issue, the staff set up a program for ad sales to keep the paper in good shape financial- ly. Local merchants cooperated eagerly to aid the paper. With a great deal hard work out of school time, and with little or no journalistic experi- ence, the staff made this paper a going concern. Other successful af- fairs of the year were the Printer ' s Prance and the Journalism Ban- quet. CARLMONITOR STAFF..UACK ROW (l. TO R. ): MR.

' BOYS BOARD OF ATHLETIC CONTROL ohairkan: Don Andrews Under the able direction of Coaches Bob Lightcap and Jim Coffis, the fledgling foot- ballers took to the field and displayed plenty of spirit to start off the initial athletic year. Making up for inexperience with enthusiasm, the Highlanders suffered setbacks in the scoring column, but they never let opponents forget they had been in a hard-fought game. Soon after the opening of the season, the 10 ' s and 20 ' s basketball teams organ- ized and got going under Coaches Ted Cam- pagnola and Jerry Einarsson. These teams also had difficulty tasting vistory, but showed spark on the hard boards. Wrestling, under Coaches Gotthold and Zucca, gave some muscle men a chance to perform. There were several outstanding stars, among them An- drews, Vella, Bartlett, and Rockholt. Frosh-soph basketball took to the floor and displayed teamwork and potentialities, although once again the win column was hard to crack. Gymnastics, swimming, track, and finally baseball arrived as the weather warmed. In these sports, victory was tasted more than once. Cof f is ' baseball team was particularly strong, and Arnot f s track men, many of whom had done well in fall cross country, warmed the cinders in some remar- kable performances.
