NADA MAS! El Cuervo — Poe Only shadows and nothing more. In the minds of the present day residents of Contra Costa County, its colorful past seems legendary rather than historical. Few realize that the walnut and fruit orchards which enhance the beauty of the county and the nomenclature of our streets — Salvio, Galindo, Pacheco — are echoes of the Spaniards that came before us. Much of the folklore of this region which we read and hear about today is factual. The romantic tale concerning the naming of Mt. Diablo — the mountain of the devil — is true and so are many other stories of like nature. The heritage of Contra Costa County is as rich as the soil which first attracted settlers. We have tried to bring out the character of that heritage — the vast cattle domains, the fiestas, the gracious living. These authentic actions and events experienced by real people have been pictorially presented in this yearbook in an attempt to coordinate historical fact with the legendary past. DEDICATION . . . In this new land of California where almost everyone has come recently from some other place, we have an exception in our charming Miss Galindo, whose forefathers were among the first Europeans to come to this valley. In the romantic past when the campus was an oak-covered meadow, there came Don Salvio Pacheco, grandson of Jaun Salvio Pacheco, (a member of the Anza Expedition), and built his home in what is now Concord. It was Salvio Pacheco and Francisco Galindo who laid out the town of Todos Santos, now Concord, and gave the Plaza to the village. Miss Galindo's father, Fredrick C., was the son of Jaun Crisostomo Galindo and Marina Amador de Ga- lindo (grand-daughter cf Don Salvio). With this background it is natural that Miss Galindo should major in Spanish at the University of California and return to Diablo to teach the language of her ancestors and to direct the Department of Foreign Languages. As a student at Diablo Miss Galindo was a leader and was graduated with honors. As a teacher she has renewed her interests in activities and is now director of our chapter of the California Scholarship Federation. Her influence in maintaining high scholastic standards has been widely felt; her patience and understanding have endeared her to the student body. It is with grateful appreciation that we, the Students of Mt. Diablo High School, dedicate this, Our Yearbook, to MISS RUTH GALINDO. MR. FERD. DIEL Principal of Ml. Diablo High School PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Every senior knows that an epoch in his life will close at gradu- ation. School will be finished and friends will part to go on to various fields of work and education. As time goes by, your high school experience will mean more to you. Your 1954 Diablo annual will be treasured because it will be filled with memories. Through- out its pages you will find the faces of classmates whose friend- ship you will treasure long after graduation has passed. The photo- graphs will help you to remember classroom experiences, activities, teachers, books and social life—all the things that together mean high school. It is hoped that your experiences, activities, teachers, books and social life at Mt. Diablo will serve as an inspiration and guide which will make it possible for you to fulfill all your dreams and ambitions. May good fortune be with you at all times. F. DIEL, Principal VICE PRINCIPALS Mrs. Irmgard Cox. iho Doan oi Girls, took on Iho addod Job of Co-Vico- Principal this yoar. SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE As our school district grows, many changes take place. Since the original building was constructed in 1905, Mt. Diablo High School has been the' high school of the area. This year marked the establishment of a second high school, and with continued growth it is probable that we shall have three, four, or even five high schools in the next ten years. To many Diablans, Mt. Diablo High School will always be the” high school. This year's graduating class will be the last all-district senior class. It bequeaths to successive classes many traditions of long standing which will carry on the unique spirit of Diablo High. The record of fine sportsmanship, good scholarship, and out- standing citizenship will continue on through the years. There will always be a Diablo 1 Mr. )ara� i W. Don!, Superintendent ol Ml.

In 1806 the Spanish militia was sent out from San Francisco under the command of General Mariano Vallejo and engaged in fierce combat with the Bol- bones Indians. It was during this battle that Mt. Diablo received its name. The Spaniards temporarily re- treated from the sight of an unearthly creature garbed in extraordinary plumage and required reinforce- ments to take the mountain of the devil. SENIOR YEAR The class of '54 had an outstanding year at Diablo. The seniors elected these officers to lead them: Bill Hillsman, president; Matt Di Mercurio, vice- president; Maureen Connolly, secretary-treasurer; Mike Bigelow, class representative. Assisting the officers in guiding the class and deserving a special hand for their efforts were the hard-working senior advisers: Mr. Leslie Dunnells, chairman; Mrs. Norma Lavelle, Mrs. Betty Courtney, and Mrs. Eloise Honett. The members of the Senior Service Committee were an asset to the school. They helped solve the bus problems by keeping order to and from school. They also regulated traffic at our crosswalks to assure the safety of the students. The Senior Student Advisers were a new addition to the school cur- riculum. These advisers, working through the orientation classes, under- took the task of helping the freshmen to become better acquainted with their school. In looking back over this year, seniors will remember Career Day, March 5, as the kickoff for their own special schedule. Career Day was followed in quick succession by these events: the Senior Variety Show, with the theme of Pulse of the City, took place on March 26 and 27; the Senior Banquet on April 6, was held at Rancho Grande, in Lafayette; in May came the Senior Picnic and sunburns; May also brought the Senior Ball on May 29, with its theme of Roman Holiday. The ball was an ex- travaganza, with all the touches and torches a Roman theme could provide. Climaxing the year was the final event on the calendar: graduation. Each graduate received a gratifying diploma, which represented four years of learning to mix books and extracurricular activities in the right proportions, and the most important lesson, the benefits of cooperation.

The year 1823 saw the beginning of the rancho era in Contra Costa. One of the largest ranchos of the period. Monte Del Diablo, was owned by Don Salvio Pacheco. At one time over 5,000 cattle grazed on its 18,000 acres. The town of Concord, first called Todos Santos, was founded on the rancho in 1869 by Pa- checo and Francisco Galindo. Classes JUNIOR YEAR NIOR CLASS OFFICERS 'aulson poundod vol at class meal- ing , ath did his dutios rico-prosidont. lachado chocked polling oi the minutes, rapor mado suro to Juniors would prosontod at all tncil meetings. Many important events occurred for the juniors this year. Their first united effort was getting the Junior Service Committee into action. Under the super- vision of Steve Ritchie, buildings commissioner, they have kept the traffic running smoothly in the halls. This year the committee has undertaken the added task of keeping the halls of the buildings in clean and orderly condition. Serving the class as officers for the year were the following: Burt Paulson, president; Bill Leath, vice-president; Joan Machado, secretary-treasurer; Pat Draper, class representative. The officers headed the committee for the Junior Assembly, which was an original dramatization of a routine day in a little country schoolhouse. It was filled with laughs and entertainment contributed by many talented members of the class. The annual Junior Carnival was held on January 9. This money-making venture contributed a great deal to the coffers of the class in preparation for the expenses of their senior year. For the first time in the history of the Carnival, the sky was clear and starry. A capacity crowd filled the gym to see Mary Louise Sands crowned as reigning Campus Sweetheart for this year. An extra feature of the evening was the door prizes, which were gen- erously provided by local merchants. Helping the various Junior Carni- val committees over the rough spots were their capable class advisers: Mr. George Pedrazzi, chairman of the group; Mrs. Hildred Garrison and Mr. Robert Kuehnl, assistants. Through their three years at Diablo, the members of the class have demonstrated their ability to cooperate and coordinate their talents to make the most effective use of them. The seniors have no fear in leaving the responsibilities and traditions of Mt. Diablo in the juniors' capable hands. Tho Junior Service Committee mombers regulate trafilc In the buildings.

The one thing they found new at Diablo was their advisers. Serving as chairman of the parent group was Mr. Morton Ely, with Miss Dorothy Jacobus and Mrs. Kay Barnes as his assistants. The class elected Richard Alford to lead them as president, David Mont- gomery to serve at the vice-president post, Bobbie Garverick to take notes and balance the books as secretary-treasurer, and Tom Barclay to represent them at Student Council meetings as class representative. Finances were improved early in the year, as their first project was a successful cake sale. The next activity on their calendar was the annual sophomore dance, the Christmas Formal. The theme for the dance was The Crystal Ball ; snowflakes hung from the ceiling, and a revolving Christmas tree whirled with the dancers at this gala affair. Decorations for the formal were hardly down, when it was time for them to replenish their treasury with a booth in the Junior Carnival. The sophomores used their ingenuity to dream up a derivation of the old pin-the-tail-on-the- donkey game; the donkey was changed to a devil's head, and it was necessary to hit it with the fist to gain a rewarding slice of cake. SOPHOMORE CLASS ADVISERS MR. MORTON ELY— chairman MISS DOROTHY JACOBUS MRS. KAY BARNES Rod's Platter Matter, made up of vaudeville acts, was the program for the yearly assembly. It starred a roller-skating act, an organ solo, harmonizers, a piano solo, and a trumpet solo. Their talents were well displayed in Rod's platter shop. The goal of the Sophomore Service Committee was to guard the brunch stands from hungry students who get in too much of a hurry to get to the candy counter.

These fresh were encouraged and assisted in their projects by their advisers: Mr. Fury Dalla, chairman; Mr. Jack Criqui; and Miss Ruth Nivens. The Freshman Service Committee, advised by Mr. Hart Fairclough, has done a good job in helping to keep the campus clean. Les Fredrick- son, the grounds commissioner, was aided by a large group of freshman boys who picked up papers and emptied garbage cans before and after lunch and brunch. Besides the cleanup job, the freshmen were assigned the duty of raising and lowering the Flag each morning. At the end of the year, pins were awarded to outstanding members of the Service Committee. The freshman class elections were held in the fall, and as a result. Steve Bordi took the office of president; Judy Daly, vice-president; Ida Yamamoto, secretary-treasurer; Warren Moore, class representative. The freshman class leaders sparked the enthusiasm of the entire class. One of the biggest social gatherings of the year was the freshman dance, Heart of My Heart, held February 19. Crowned as king and queen for the evening were Owen Cardinet and Sharon Abbott. At the beginning of the year, the Diablo News staff, after much con- sideration, picked Cathy Kelly and Bob Williams as the Typical Frosh. The Freshman Assembly was one of the best class programs of the year. The theme chosen for this variety show was 42nd and Broadway. The clever frosh conceived a new twist for the Broadway story; the lamp posts along the great white way were given voices and personalities. The Junior Carnival saw the frosh working hard to raise money for their treasury. Their booth, which required customers to guess outstand- ing seniors' names from their baby pictures, was one of the highlights of the evening.

John and Ellen, head ol the Student Advisers, try to sell interest in student affairs to Mrs. Norma White's Orien- tation class. Typical of the Spanish days was the gracious out- door living. The Spaniards were carefree and relaxed. My house is yours held real meaning for these people who extended a hearty welcome to travelers as well as friends. No significant occasion in the life of a member of the family was allowed to pass with- out a fiesta to commemorate the event.

DIABLO NEWS Two issues a month was the pledge of the Diablo News this year. Under the guidance of Mrs. Helen Lum, adviser. Steve Emanuels and Budd Osmon. the two editors, set the pace for the staff and re- porters. The paper's biggest projects were the football programs and the Basketball '54's. These ventures financed a trip to an All-Coast Press Clinic in Seattle for Steve Emanuels, Budd Osmon, Bill Gahr and Russ Goebel. It was a good year as well as a trying year for the staff; but it was also a fun year.

YELL LEADERS SONG LEADERS The lively school spirit this year was undoubt- edly due to head cheerleader Dan Larscheid and assistants Marlene Adams, Jerre DeRosa Carol Halverson and Aurelia Omania, when they led the Red Devil rooters to a cheering vic- tory at the year's start, while the gridiron boys led the league to a C.C.C.A.L. championship. Another accomplishment worth mentioning is the fact that our cheering section, under the di- rection of Mr. Hart Fairclough, was one of the few high school groups in the state to use card tricks at half time. Sandra Christensen, Laura Shelley, Billie Trimble and Liz Lucero led our students in songs and clapping, accompanied by the Mt. Diablo High School Band, at our games and student rallies. They added much spirit and color to our football games, with their red jump- ers and white blouses, which were new this year. Song Loadorn, loll to right, aro Liz Lucoro, Billio Trimblo.

Their fall production, You Can't Take It With You, had a cast of such young stars as Joanne Myers, Don Lopez, Maureen Connolly, Bob Bass. Sharon Drozda, Bob Gotshall, Liz Frederick, and others who helped make the play a success. The Drama department also produced a Chinese fantasy called Turtle Dove for an assembly, starring Bob Jones.

A Their spring production was Arsenic and Old Lace. Some of the main characters were Carol Hilder, Tom Ready, Bob Jones, and Jerry Sisson. Arsenic and Old Lace proved to be on the most hilarious plays ever produced by the drama depart- ment. This famous comedy is centered around two charming and innocent ladies who populate their cellar with the remains of their roomers, accompanied by their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt. The whole family is nutty as a fruit cake and twice as humorous. The Sword and Bauble Drama Society produced an old-time movie version of Cinderoola for the Club's Assembly, which captured the first prize money.

VARSITY LEAGUE GAMES CHARLES KARP Coach HENRY GUSTAFSON Coach MT. DIABLO vs. ALHAMBRA The Red Pack opened league play with a 44 to 18 rout over the Bulldogs of Alhambra. The Co-captains for the game, Stan Gaunt and Shelby Higgins, proved to be the scoring punch for the Devils. This win started the gridders on the 1953 championship trail. MT. DIABLO vs. ALBANY Marching on after their first league victory, the Satans of Diablo rolled over Albany 39 to 20. Al- though behind at the half 20 to 12, Diablo showed its strength, and held Albany scoreless in the second half while it roared to four touchdowns. Co-Captains for the game were Larry Reece and Harry Haley. MT. DIABLO vs. JOHN SWETT In the Lucifers third league game, they literally crushed the undefeated Indians from John Swett 25 to 0. Terrific defense kept the Skins from penetrating the Devils goal line. This victory left the Devils the only undefeated team in the league. The game cap- tains were Terry Taylor and Bud Torres. MT. DIABLO vs. ANTIOCH The Devils got their first scare of the season, barely edging the huge Antioch Panthers 20 to 13. Victory came in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. The Diabloids were completely out-weighed in both the line and the backfield and had to fight an uphill battle most of the way. The game captains were Jerry Sisson and Marv McKean. MT. DIABLO vs. PITTSBURG The big game between Mt. Diablo and Pittsburg proved to be a thrilling contest. Diablo shoved over the winning touchdown in the final minutes of the game. The Devils' terrific defense showed its strength by stopping Pittsburg's only scoring threat of the evening. This victory assured Diablo of at least a tie for the championship. The game captains were Mar- lon Henvit and Russ Steele. MT. DIABLO vs. ACALANES Mt. Diablo slushed over Acalanes and also the league championship. Even with the help of a steady downpour of rain, Acalanes could not stop the mighty horses of Diablo. The Franzmen showed their jubi- lance over winning, by dragging their coaches and fellow teammates through the mud. The game cap- tains were Marlon Henvit and Russ Steele.

The Devils were invincible as they bowled over squad after squad. The first to fall in the path of their fury were the Alameda Hornets and Oakland Tecksters. In the league opener, the Devils took the bite out of the Alham- bra Bulldogs and went on the following week to cage the Albany Cougars. After Albany, the Red Demons promptly scalped the John Swett Indians and went on to skin the Antioch Panthers in a game that was a seat-edger all the way. In the game with Pittsburg, the Franzmen tried time and again to board the Pirate ship and score, but were held back till late in the fourth quarter when Marv McKean finally bootlegged 6 points to the scoring deck and the Pirates were captured. Last to fall be- fore the onslaught of the mighty Red, were the Acalanes Dons. Diablo now reigned supreme! 104 FIRST ROW, Uti to right: Walter Dubbs (mgr.), Jim Sorventi (mgr.), Marlon Honvit (Co-captain), Ruts Stool (Co-captain). Bob Gotshall (mgr.).

COMES TO DIABLO 105 RED DEVIL VARSITY BASKETBALL The Red Devils enjoyed a fair season this year, winning 12 games and losing 5. They broke their losing streak on Albany by beating them 55 to 50, spoiling the champs' undefeated sea- son. The fans received their share of thrills as Diablo beat Pitts- burg 50 to 49, Acalanes 67 to 65, and lost to Antioch 43 to 45. The starting five, Don Landrum, Fred Crabaugh, Marv Mc- Kean, Harry Haley, and Steve Ritchie, were all returning letter- men from last year's team. Landrum was third in the scoring column in the league. Crabaugh and Don were also chosen on the All-County five, with Marv McKean making the second team, Ritchie the third, and Haley—honorable mention. Roger Powell, Paul Buckmann, Larry Norenburg, and Tom Mc- Millin, plus the first five were all seniors this year. Next year's team will be built around the rest of the varsity, Jim Brooks, Ed Ulrich, Hank Hagwood, Sid Smith, and Bill McGregor (all juniors) plus the boys coming up from the B team.

The next four games were decisive victories over Antioch, Pleasant Hill, John Swett, and Albany by scores of 36-32, 35-18, 36-30, and 39-31 respectively. Then like the lull before the storm, they were hit by Acalanes and were defeated 46-37. They then coasted by Alhambra 42-39, Las Lomas 25-18, and over Pittsburg 36-30, only to be downed by Antioch 29-26. Next week they came back to trounce Pleasant Hill and then dropped to John Swett 48-31. Taking their revenge to the last three games, they downed Albany 42-30, Acalanes 50-30, and Alhambra 49-37. The outstanding players were Jerry Walsh to whom goes the scoring credit, and to Dorsey Allison, Ron Baldwin, George Stoner, and Roger Lee for their fine ball handling and floor work. With the fine spirit and teamwork shown on the court, they clinched the year's season for second place. B BASKETBALL SQUAD SEMICIRCLE, loft lo right: Ronald Lovoridgo. Loyal Minor, Morlo Marshall.

Other top men will include: Roger Lee, Bob Peters, Merle Marshall and Bill Littomo. Ths year's team should pull through as one of the top three in the C.C.C.A.L. J.V. League.

Retiring lettermen such as Stan Gaunt, Rob Himsl, Russ Steele and Phil Parslow will strengthen the team considerably. Stan Gaunt cleared 127 last year and is attempting 13'6 this year. Bob Himsl ran a 51:7, 440 last year and is going strong this year along with Russ throw- ing 48' in the shot-put and 121' in the discus. Phil's speed and power made him one of the top dash men in the county. Steve Ritchie and Matt De Mercurio hold down the high jump and 440 re- spectively. Acalanes and Pittsburg are favored to pull through top honors, but you can look forward to highly exciting scraps with Diablo possibly plac- ing first. Depth in this year's team will be honored by Harold Hayworth who featured a 10:2, 100-yard dash, and a 23:, 220. Jim Brooks and Dave Krowel will handle the hurdles. Steve Patterson has been our 880 with a 2:0.8. Little Roy Hill is pound- ing away a cool 4:55 mile which will put him in the county finals.
