S ' ,T-OOf',f NQCLE LQ 9 J Towards the end of the year, the senior sweaters arrived and the iuniors were allowed to wear them to school on the Senior Ditch Day of the preceding class. The new seniors began their final year by honoring the incoming freshman class at the annual Get-Acquainted Dance. The next big dance was the Senior Hop, Winter WonderIand, with painted landscapes on the windows and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling to add to the atmosphere. The Senior Play Hasty Heart was both unusual and humorous and kept the audience laughing, Mr. Ton claimed. Oh, the groans that went up when the Senior Holiday, or Ditch Day as it is sometimes called, was limited to half a day so that the seniors could attend a minimum day at school! The Senior Banquet in June was paid for entirely from the bulging money bags of the senior treasury, with cooking, serving, and cleaning up taken care of by the P-TA, senior mothers, and the Dads' Club. Drawing near the end of their high school days, the seniors spent a riotous half of a Senior Ditch Day at Disneyland, enioying a good deal of their fun free, thanks again to their adequate funds. The Baccalaureate Service was very inspirational and was ushered by the frosh class. After many long weeks of practice, the Chevaliers graduated in a beautiful Commencement Exer- cise at the Centinela Bowl. Finally came the all-night Palladium Party, with free breakfast served at 4 a.m. LEFT TO RIGHT: Derald Biggerstaff, vice president, Terry Pratt, secretary-treasurer, Dale O'NeaI, president, Don Tamburro, vice-president and president.

They quickly became were soon known as the RCOC, th tb ' h r ings: e students have set a cholarship, drama, and fund-raising for organized into a close-knit group and a eingt e Richest Class on Campus. The ball started rollinq when the money started floating in to make their Frosh Talent Show a success, a due to the hard work the class put in ddcd to the equally successful last Chance Danc h ld e e at the end af their freshman year. As sophomores they were even more active in fund-raising, with their Christmas Card Sale, ln fact, the class of i959 made more money in their four years than any other class in the history of the school. At the end of their sophomore year the senior rings were chosen, to be worn upside down all during the next year. Moving into the iunior year, the class colors of coral and beige were chosen. The class name of Chevaliers was also decided upon. The Junior-Senior Prom, April Love, was planned and sponsored by the iunior class of that year. It was staged at the Hollywood Riviera Country Club. The already overflowing treasury was also added to by the all-out salesmanship of Monarch beanies.
