Zelma Ballard, the editor, spent many hours at the typewriter preparing copy and identifications. Jim Blocher wrote up all the boys' sports. Charlene Nelson, Gail Moore, Shirley Step- hens, Chuck Yates, Hatton Adams, and Becky Allison helped in writing up activities. With no photography class in 1953, the shutter- bugs had limited experience in picture-taking. Editor Tony Freeman took most of the advertising and back- ground pictures and many of the miscellaneous shots that you see scattered through the annual. Guy Rich- ardson, Jim Jackson, and Bob Roman did much work in the lab developing pictures. E. C. Willis took al- most all the La Conchilla pictures. This was the first time a professional photographer had taken anything except senior portraits. This was necessitated because there was no photography class. Appointed to supervise the work of the staff were: Miss Hallie McGaughy, business, Newton Stafford, photography, Robert Peirce, art, and Mrs. Furr. Miss Burns' Typing II class addressed dozens of letters. But to list everyone who helped the staff out would be an unending job. Thanks to all who helped boost this yearbook. And so, the Annual Staff gives you the culmina- -10 ' if 6 .. 'A -. fi- ls. . tion of a year's hard work - the T953 La Conchilla.

ROW 2: Charlene Larkin, Winn Moore Bob Roman With the school year of 1952-53 rapidly coming to a close, the Annual Staff, after nine months of arduous work and many anguished wails, is proud to present your La Conchilla. We tried to cover all facets of school life as com- pletely as possible, only time and you, the reader, can tell us if our efforts were successful. Harry Woolpert assumed the task of editor-in-chief and stuck bravely to the demanding iob until the last pages of the annual were mailed in mid-April and the last proofs read. At his right hand was Mrs. Lea- nora R. Furr, coordinator, who bore the onslaught of too much to do in too little time quite manfully. The art work was done by Editor Nancy Schisler, who made the layouts, trimmed pictures, and meas- ured copy. Assistance came from Pauline Chiriaco, who drew the cover design, Julie Scott, who was Nancy's number one boy and Allen Thibault, who did the cartooning and lettering. Business Manager Carolyn Brumwell, often work- ing under difficult circumstances, was unflagging in discharged all her duties, especially that of selling sufficient advertising to finance the book. Annette Thibault kept the books and saw that all the money was safely tucked away in the La Conchilla coffers. Jeanne Yerty kept the advertising records. The sale of La Conchilla was conducted by Jackie Savant, who sat in room 23 many noon periods taking subscribers' money. Editor Harry Woolpert if . .. ,. P fm 5 3 rt?

Barbara Al en The World Friendship Club started this year with a tremen o president, Charlene Nelson, vice-president, Virginia Cortez, recording secretary, ponding secretary, and Herb Pixley, treasurer, the club was always popping with something new. Six members attended the fall conference at U.S.C. The W.F.C. ran the student store, Herb Pixley was manager. Each member worked in the store. Next came the cookie sale, a complete success. The club pre- sented a United Nations Day program which Herb Pixley M.C.'d. ln February at the Date Festival the W. F.C. operated a food booth. They sent S50 to help support a child in India. ln return they received pic- tures and letters from the child besides the satisfaction of being helpful. On March 21 a group traveled to Pepperdine College for a spring conference. As Pan American Day approached, a committee was ap- pointed to arrange the annual program. The club was asked to send a permanent representative to the, Pan American Day Planning Commission to plan a celebration with civic leaders of the valley. C.V. plan- ned to send a busful of kids to the annual convention at Chaffey May 3 to enioy a grand finale. Mr. Peirce, Miss McGaughy, and Mrs. Fisher, spon- club enioy the most successful year sors, helped the it's had. 'n ham as president, Bill Kelley etary and With George Cunni g as vice-president, Nancy Marshall as secr , Ramon Arce as treasurer, Allied Youth had a fairly successful year. They had several thought-provoking lectures on the alcoholic problem. Charles Gibbs, one of the guest speakers, discussed alcoholism and its effects on human beings as automobile drivers. At the beginning of the year a membership drive raised the enrollment by leaps and bounds. A.Y.'s first party was a swimming party in October at the Teitelbaum Ranch. The next main event on their cal- endar was a hike in Tahquitz Canyon in February. The club had tentative plans for another party in the spring. Almost all of the members sent in orders for A.Y. pins early in 1953. er Harlow, as sponsor, helped to keep the group's interest in the club alive and was always l was needed.
