gxtfzacts 610:44 die Diaful of Glafzita fzomefw, Octolzefz I956 October 25, 1956 Today while I was down town I met my old friend, John Mullins, and we started to talk of former days at SBJHS. He suggested that we drive up to the Blue Onion, so we got into his 1956 Superjet, fuchsia Merc and headed there. A number of our friends had already gathered, including Connie Fragosa, Ramona Soto, and Ophelia Montoya. They were talking about the Homecoming Football game which is taking place tomorrow night. They said that nearly all the class of '53 would be there, so John and I decided to- go, too. October 26, 1956 Tonight John and Ifleft his car in Dennis Ro- mero's parking lot. While we were walking from there to the stadium we saw Jack Cloer, Sammy Torres, and Don Wright pretending to jump the fence. As we came up to the ticket window we saw Felix Rubalcava, Carey Poindexter, Ella Pry- or, and Priscilla Maclean buying programs from Dick Heron. We bought our tickets from Walter Sexton, and hurried in the gate because they were starting to broadcast the line-up. We heard: This is Martin Franco, your sports announcer, announcing .tonight's starting eleven. For Santa Barbara are'Ends Bob Cromer and Richard Valen- cia, Guards Norman fthe bombl Nakaji and Billy Villa, Tackles Johnny Escalera and Abie Perez, and at Center George C Bubb1es l Eyre. Playing in the backfield will be the Halfbacks John Reese and Michael Rojo, Robert Benbrook, Fullback, and Quarterback Eddie Greenberg. We struggled through the crowd and John spied two seats near Lorraine Morelli and Barbara Lardizabal, but by the time we had worked our way up the bl e a c h e r s Betsy Smartt and Alice Price had ,taken them. Then Iusaw Dianne Saru- watari, Donald Kerr, and Ben Wright buying cokes from Grace Casale who was trying to make them pay 15c per coke! We finally found some seats next to Marilyn Clark, Dwayne Maxwell, Norma Hunskor, and Gene Paris who were carrying on a lively conversation about who the Homecoming Queen would be. Suddenly everyone began to cheer. It was for Quarterback Eddie Greenberg who threw a 101, yard touchdown pass to End Bob Cromer. After the cheeringuhad died down, I saw Ross Munoz and Donald'Johnson carrying out Raymond Kob- ler, who fainted from shock. The score was 76-6, their favor, at the tend of the first half. Suddenly the lights dimmed. Everyone was waiting for the halftime activities directed by Nicky Cavaletto. The last thing on the program was the pre- sentation of the Homecoming Queen. While the band played softly, Norman Vincent introduced the Queen-Donna Hellenga. What a doll! Her ladies in waiting were Roberta Miller, Edna Moreno, Alicia Tonnar, Carmen Puentes, and Irene Zandona. After the half time activities, John and I walked to the field and talked to the water-boys, Eugene Solis, Bob Richard, and Doug Verner. Instead of going back to our seats We decided to go in the cheering section, which was quite full. A-s we walked in, Clyde Lane, Sally Cuel'ar, Joe Sanchez, and Helen Robinson called us. Then I saw Thelma Crossland, Cruz Munoz, Annie Sanchez, and Eddie Castro rooting for our team, which was ready to play again. Taking Bob Cromer's place Was Mike Willson. Wow! What a player! Now we would see some action. Coach Alphonso Diaz was eating his cap' and staring blindly into space. The team, now including Richard Baker, Joe Leon, C'ifford Leyna, Richard Lopez, and Clarence Middleton, star end, was going full speed. .After the game fscore 176-76, our favor of coursel We walked back to thecar. Zoom! There went Herman Palma chirping out of the parking lot. With its twin pipes the car could be heard for blocks. After about twenty-five of us had piled into four cars we cruised the main drag, stopping at Pete Capovilla'S restaurant. Don't think we didn't give the waitresses Joanne Fernandez and Jackie Fernandez plenty of trouble! As we drove home after a happy evening we couldn't help thinking of the many other happy times our crowd from SBJHS had had together. W' Q Pg D Al' 4' I -24 .13 ,.-. ,QLQW 2 ' 2 it I-Q,., , af..
