What does this yearbook mean to you? To us the staff, the '53 Pleiades means hours
of research and Clays of hard work. It stands for accomplishments each staff member has
made which unite to form the one big accomplishment -- this annual. It stands for dreams
fulfilled, hopes and wishes answered, and most of all, our gift to you, the Student Body.
Wlzat though, does the '53 Pleiades mean to you? Does it mean a record of the
events of the year or does it signify merely the completion of that year? Does it bring back
memories of school rooms, teachers, parties, ball games and dances? Through our
Pleiades. do you recall names, faces, and qualities of classmates and friends? Possibly you
take delight in the pictures and sketches in the book. Then again the annual may be another
souvenir of high school days to add to your collection, to cherish and enjoy in later life. If
you are a senior, this yearbook may represent an accumulation of all the memories, good and
bad times, to add to your storehouses of high school memories and write a finis to that chapter
of your life.
The staff feels that if one of these meanings applies to you, their year of work has not
been wasted. If you appreciate and enjoy this annual in any way whatsoever, their purpose
has been accomplished. Then the staff can truly say that this year has meant to them a suc-
cess, climaxing a successful year-one of achievement, progress, and significance.

Age 15, high school student.
Mr. D. R. Lightner, Principal of Strathmore Union High School
Graduating from University of Southern Cali-
fornia after receiving his B. A. degree.
Serving as a soldier during Worl
ADDNQECIATE
The time has come for us to bid, adieu to a great man in possibly his
greatest capacity-that of a public high school principal. It isn't a very
glorious job, but he has made it full of glory. It isn't a job which carries
much honor but he has heaped honor upon honor not only upon himself
but upon his school and community. Most people wouldn't think of a
principal as being an artist. yet that is how we of the student body see
him. An artist, moulding the character, the intellect, the personality, the
very lives of students with whom he has come in contact during his
thirty years as head of our school. Thirty years of students-some good,
some bad-some quick to learn-some slow-witted-some destined to
be successes, others, apparent failures. In those thirty years, he has
built a school which can hold its own with any high school in the
state of California. He has seen his dreams realized in the form
of the modern school plant just completed. The life of the com-
munity has been greatly improved by his activity and interest.
Through the years, into his classrooms have come children of his
former students. These new students soon realized that this re-
markable man improves with time. They recognize the fact that
here is an artist of people and ideas, a builder of good citizens
for two generations. However, there must come a time when we should
lose the services of our beloved principal. That time has come when
he feels that he has served Strathmore in an exclusive capacity long
enough. Next year, he will begin a new service of youth which will
encompass in one year nearly as many people as he has taught here
at Strathmore in thirty years. Yet, we who have known and revered
our principal shall always think of him as having a permanent place
in this school. Go on, Mr. Lightner, to this position which will bring
you so much satisfaction and reward. But take with you always the
gratitude and respect of two generations of Strathmore students.
So, to you, Mr. Lightner, we dedicate this 1953 edition of the Pleiades
with our sincerest hope that the years to come may he as fruitful as
those that have been.

Many words have been Written and many eulogies spoken in praise of the five men com-
posing our Board of Trustees. It has been said that they are men of integrity and
character, that they are able and experienced and that they have the best interests of
the school always in mind. Yearbooks have bespoken the fact that these men are real
citizens, the kind this and every community can use more of.
Yet it occurred to this editor that rarely, if ever, has mention been made of the fact
that if it were not for a dream of these men, the Class of '53' would not be graduating
from this modern lovely plant of ours. These buildings would be no more than plans
on paper or ideals in the minds of the poor teachers struggling to hold classes in the
attractive but antiquated old building. This quintet of men fostered, nourished, and
built that dream of theirs from steel and concrete into a magnificent plant of modern
and convenient class rooms and Work rooms. ,
Here in brief, are listed the main qualities and accomplishments of five men, who qualify
as true Spartans, The class of '53' is grateful to them.

l r eeee our
School administration might be divided into two parts: the daily routine with no two days the same.
and the annual events. The daily affairs come and go more or less automatically. The annual events
require time, preparation and anxiety. Most of them require serious consideration. Of these an-
nual events I have experienced-
30 first days of schoolg
30 football, basketball and other athletic sea'
sonsg
30 Junior and Senior playsg
30 Junior and Senior Banquetsg
30 occasions to complete a full faculty:
30 Pleiades to worry with and signg
30 Board elections to observe vigilantlyg
30 periods to ponder "Will this be it or will I
get another year?"g
30 budgets to prepareg
30 summers to rejuvenate, repair, and prepare
for another year.
During the past 30 years of daily affairs and annual events, I could not have wished for more
loyalty and cooperation from students, teachers, trustees and people of the community. I hope this
true Spartan spirit will always prevail and that nothing will ever deter the development and in-
fluence of the Strathmore High School. May I say :'That's 30 for now" and sign off.

President
Seniors at last! Eleven years of school behind us, and here we are, about to
embark on the most celebrated year of our high school career. We're very
confident that next year we will choose class officers as wisely as we did this
past year when we elected the following: president, Ierry Nanamurag vice-
president, Morrie Efseaffg secretary, Shirley Williams, treasurer, Lloyd Thet-
ford: yell leader, Nelda Dunn - and they were good!
Our Iunior year has been about the busiest weve had yet, what with the lun-
ior play, which, by the way, was quite a success, the dance, which we spon-
sored, and then later the lunior-Senior banquet and prom, There are a lot of
words we could use to tell you about our prom and banquet, words such as
wonderful, stupendous, beautiful, successful, and so forth. But maybe you'll
get the idea if we just tell you, we all had the time of our lives.
In the field of sports our boys made a good showing, as always. Sports is one
of the highlights of the school: so naturally we are proud of having so many
participants from our class every year.
Since basketball seems to have been our best game, let us mention the names
of the players from our class on the A team. They were Gary Sortors, Way-
mon Roberson, and Val Zuniga. On the B team were Lloyd Thetford, Gary
Garlin, loe Wayne Rowell, VViley Crocker, Donald Berryhill, Iimmy Noris,
and Ioaquin Rodriguez. C class, Ierry Nanamura. The B class went to Cen-
tral to play for Valley Championship, and we were right with 'em all the way.
We're proud of the girls in our class, too. Six were initiated into Service Club
this year. They were Linda Parman, Mary Blackwood, Tronye Alexander,
Shirley Williams, Nlaurine Foster, and Betty Tickel. Most of the girls were
in G. A. A., and some were in Y-Teens. Barbara Farless was merit board
secretary.
We would like to thank our able advisor, Mr. Bzrryhill, for helping make our unior year all that
it has been. Are we going to have as much fun next year? More!! You can bet on itll'

CHAPTER I
Now the history of the Class of Three-and-Fifty, of
High School of the City of Strathmore, County of Tul
State of California, is in this Wise:
In the beginning, in the nine and fortieth year of our L
in the ninth month, there entered into this Land of Lez
ing, four-and-eighty seekers of knowledge. Some came
from the Eighth Grade, where they had for many moi
been busily engaged in storing their minds with the hc
of wisdom, some were green and fresh from a far cour
and some were from halls of other learning.
And it came to pass, as they did enter the Land, that 1
were received with wild welcomings and rejoicings
Blanche, of the surname of Premo, one of those who it
decreed should henceforth lead them up the slippery
ways of knowledge.

2 it came to pass that they were received with
ls glee by a certain band of wild beings who were
Sophomoresm and Who, because of their fierce taste
hman blood, did pounce upon them daily and night-
did cause them to suffer great things, and to say
hearts:
, blessed be the name of Education, for because of
we endured great torments. Verily, have we been
to its great and noble cause!"
they dwelt long in the land, they fell in with the
of the inhabitants thereof, and their strangeness
ay, and they became as one among the rest.

CHAPTER II
And the whole number at the beginning of the second 1
was five-and-sixty.
Now it came to pass at the beginning of the second 1
that a new band of youths did come up from the adjoii
territory, and the Class of Three-and-Fifty, in the
dignity of their promotion, remembered the days of t
own greenness, and as the Sophomores of their day
done unto them, even so did they do unto these new Fri
men, and did show no mercy unto their sufferings, and
heed unto their lamentations, until all were bruised and
of much sorrow.
Now it so happened that this land to which they had c
was ruled over by one known as Harold Smith, a profe
of much wisdomg and at the beginning of the second 5
he spake unto them saying:
lrbara Gayle Nelson Cody Allen Noel
Bette Ann Oswald Delphia Faye Pierce
if
arland Kent Pike Jessie Dalores Reyes
ather ye in a body, and organize yourselves into a
hat ye may gain in strength, and that your courage
ax hot!"
he spake unto them, so it was done, and they chose
fisest, one known as Jim Gaines, to be their leader,
lled themselves, with much pride, the Class of Three-
fty.
came to pass, as their pride grew to a great bigness
them, that the Class began to wish for symbols be-
their stationg and many messages were sent to the
es and all the towns round-about for samples of their
avelryg and at last, after much considering and recon-
g, the Class professed itself to be satisfied with its
and rings were purchased with which they rested
intent.

CHAPTER III
And it came to pass that the Class of Three-and-Fifty
found favor in the eyes of a certain ruler, called Richard
Berryhill, and success looked fair before them, and they were
much glad.
But a great cry went up from the throats of the greedy
Class:
"Lol if it doth happen that some are to graduate after many
days, it appeareth that there is much need of many dollars
wherewith to provide the song and dance thereof !"
And so, thinking these things, the Class did aspire to dra-
matic honors, and did present to the people a great and
wonderful play, wherein each would act what he was not.
And lo! the multitude did cry out, "How grand and won-
derful this thing which ye have done!" and the heads of
the Class did become swelled to the fullest capacity at the
praise they did receive.
And it came to pass, in the same year, that the Class did
sit themselves down that an artist of much skill should
make them pictures of great beauty, but when they were
done, and their eyes fell upon that which was said to be
like unto their faces, disgust was upon the face of the whole
class and they were much angry, for behold, it was like
nothing on the earth, nor on the face of the angry deep.
And it came to pass, after some months, that their eyes
were turned toward graduation, but many began to make
excuse.
The first said, "I must needs serve Samuel, my uncle. There-
Mary Ellen Woody James Eddie Zinn
fore I cannot graduate.
Another said, "I must needs toil at home, and therefc
cannot graduate.
A third said, "T am dull and cannot learn. I pray thee
me excused.
And still another said, 'AI am going to be married, and ti
fore I need not graduate."
So thus did this class decrease in numbers until the x
number at the end of the third year was two and fifty.
CHAPTER IV
Now this, the fourth year in the history of this great
wonderful Class has been one of much hard labor, an:
little resting by the waysideg for preparations have
been making for them to take their final departure
the land.
Now it so happened that a man of much learning and
repute, David Conley, from an adjoining territory, did
to dwell in the Land that the travels of the Class 1
continue.
And it came to pass that a great shout did go up fron
throats of the Class, and the words thereof did find
with the members of the Class, and were adopted
class yell. And behold, they did proclaim this yell thn
out all the streets of the city, till it did re-echo fror
highways and hedges roundabout. And lo, the peopl
stop up their ears, and did flee in terror from the
of Three-and-Fifty!

Jrmer Patsy Coley, was informed of her husband's bravery, she fainted, ,
' U - Carol Bequette, who in pri
ate life is Mrs. Crawford, received the Pulitzer Prize for her coverage of the war.
'he President, Louis De Paoli, was inaugurated in a colorful ceremony. At the first cabinet meeting,
e and his Secretary of State, Garland Pike, disagreed on how much authority the Secretary of State
hould have. In the ensuing argument, Mr. Pike was relieved of his duties. The new Secretary, johnny
ola, and the President are in disagreement over Mr. Sola's policy on Korean War prisoners. The Pres-
lent does not agree that we should "lock 'em all up in a big room." The Secretary of Agriculture is
fody Noel. It is rumored that Mrs. Noel, the former Barbara Nelson, is really the brains behind the
idical policy changes in the Department. The Postmaster-General, Donald Goings, has announced a
ampaign which should make the Post Office break even for the first time in years.
. feature of the SUHS P.T.A. during the past year was their lecture series. Co-sponsors of the proj-
:t were the president of the P,T.A., Ona Lee Power, and Roy Britt, principal. The series included such
otables as Dr. Eddie Zinn, who spoke on "How to Curb juvenile Delinquency," and Delphia Pierce,
:lviser to the Merit Board, who spoke on "Why the Merit S ystem Hasn't Been Revised in Fifty
'ears." Refreshments were served after the lectures by Harold Spuhler, athletic director, and Edward
amb, head of the Music Department.
'he famous socialite, Doris Marks, gave the party of the year in Porterville, which has become the so-
al center of the nation. Among those present were Bette Oswald, the Hollywood gossip columnist
1d Phyllis Knutson, with her sixth husband, Harold Stein. Providing entertainment was Ieri Willows,
ho won an Oscar for her performance in the musical, "Outside the Lindsay Drive-In." She was asa
sted by Marcella fChi-Chil Dye, Leetta fFifij Thomas, Georgina fBubblesl Del Greco, and Iessie
Honeyl Reyes, with Lois Fitzpatrick at the piano.
arol Barrett Iepson and Sue Barrett Day live in a duplex in San Diego. Carol's daughter and Sue'5
.fin daughters are planning a triple wedding for Iune, 1974.
he Bikini Burlesque Ballroom was raided by Dell juan Hughes. The manager, V. M, Hunt, and the
ar of the show. Maurine Haney, were jailed. judge Pattv Conley set bail at 310,000 each. Miss Han-
"s lawyer, Ioe Cadell, was fined for contempt of court when, after talking five hours, he would not
t down at the ,request of the judge.
he 500-mile Indianapolis Speedway was won this year by Rushing-Ruth Gange. The trophy was pre-
nted in the usual manner bv jerry Fairley. The team of Welch Hudson and john Wilcox thfeatgned
fiss Gange's lead for a time, but Hudson and Wilcox spun out on the 148th lap. Among the notab-les
ho witnessed the race were Iudy Tocchini, National President of the American Bird-Watchers' So-
rty, and Mary Hirabayashi and Bonnie Takemoto, curators of the renowned Strathmore Museum of
,odern Art.
len Woody and Donna Lowe are still doing astounding things. This year they led the first expedition
scale Mt. Everest. The United States Ambassador to Tibet, Raymond Foster, secured permission for
e expedition through some brilliant diplomatic maneuvering. Porters on the expedition were Nick Hui-
r and Gene Burgdorf: Georgia Rogers, who acted as secretary on the trip, compiled enough data to
l a book. Halfway up the mountain, the group ran into june Hurt and Lenna Cromeenes, who said
ey just wanted to get away from it all.
id so the members of the class of 1953 disposed themselves in 1973.

The Student Council, the major governing unit of our school, enjoyed an active and suc-
cessful year. It met on the second and fourth Tuesdays at which time the various officers
made reports on their official activities. Also important school and group business was
brought up for discussion and planning,
Just one of the duties and privileges of Council members is to attend district and section
conferences. This fall, several delegates attended the district C.A.S.C. 4California Associ-
ation of Student Councilsl Conference held in our neighboring town of Lindsay. Then
again in the spring, members participated in a C.A.S.C. district meeting which was at
the same time, profitable and enjoyable.
Another undertakng of the Council was selling popcorn at athletic contests with the help
of the new automatic machine. This year the payments on the machine were completed
by the Spartan Knights.
A big post-game dance was sponsored by the Student Council with Carol Bequette as
chairman.
Several important events took place in the spring, the outstanding being the Variety Show
given in honor of the basketball players. The show was a great success under the able
chairmanship of Georgia Rogers and Harold Spuhler.
Then toward the end of the year, Student Body elections for the coming year were held.
The student council supervised, and planned the events of Homecoming Day in conjunc-
tion with the Alumni association.
Graduation marked the close of the activities of the Student Council for the 1952-1953
year. Johnny Sola served competently as president, aided and advised by Mr. Staton.

The Merit Board was Strathmore's most active governing board. Its function was pun-
ishing students for tardiness, unexcused absences, and various other offenses, and re-
warding high scholarship and good citizenship.
This is the way' it worked: each student was given 100 merits at the beginning of each
semester. Some lost merits, and many gained. The average at the end of the first semes-
ter was 104. The lowest was 29. The top ten were:
Delphia Pierce 169
Georgia Rogers 165
Shirley Williams 159
Mary Blackwood 156
Ellen Wr-Ody 146
Maurine Haney 146
Patty Conley 145
Tronye Alexander 143
Barbara Branch 142
Ona Lee Power 142
The Freshmen and Juniors each elected a representative to serve two years. The Sopho-
mores and Seniors had the same representatives that they had last year. Representatives
on the Merit Board were Noel Huxtable, Freslimeng Vernon Welter, Sophomoresg Barbara
Farless, Juniors: and Delphia Pierce, Seniors. Johnny Sola, student body president, served
as president of the Merit Board, and Mr. Staton was adviser.
The Merit Board met every Wednesday in the Board Room. Most of the time the Board
merely decided the innocence or guilt of the offender or determined the nature of the
offense. The number of demerits for most offenses is set down in the school constitution.
The Merit Board awarded merits to students on the recommendation of a faculty mem-
ber. Merits were also earned for no absences, no tardiness, and good grades.

The annual staff devoted one period a day to the production of the 1953 Pleiades. Tl
worked in the room which they shared with the newspaper staff, under the direction
Mrs. Gay. The room is a full-sized class room, with plenty of shelves and table spa
1 However, for years the staff had no place of their own. They used whatever space tl
could find.
When the new Home Economics building was built, the staff moved to a 4x8 storeror
Here was a place of their own, but what a place! Only two people could work there
a time. If another went in someone had to come out.
In 1951 the staff moved to their present home. They still worked amid some clutter a
confusion, as they were not accustomed to so much space. This year the room was cal
the publications room, and housed both the newspaper and annual staffs. The arrang
ment was ve1'y satisfactory, and the working conditions quite pleasant.
An innovation in the 1953 Pleiades is the summer supplement. In previous years all ba
ball, track, and tennis scores could not be' put into the annual because the book had
be at the printer's before the seasons were ever. This year these three sports, along W
Linda Parman,
Assistant graduation and other spring pictures, will be in an eight page supplement. Those v
Business Manager bought annuals will receive the supplement sometime during the summer.
Recognition should be given to Doris Marks, who did at lot of typing for the staff.

One of the most anticipated days of the school week was Friday. This was due partly to the week-end 'un
ahead and partly to the games and programs on Friday night but due a great deal to the iact that the Spartan
News came out on that day.
This year, as usual, the school paper made its appearance every other week, full of news, views and gossip. Much
of the Work involved with "pubiishing" the Spartan News fell upon the shoulders of the Editor, Barbara Nel-
son, and her assistant, Ruth Gange. It was their job to edit and compile the news articles handed in by their
staff of reporters. At the beginning of the year, an intensive drive for subscriptions was launched and handled
by the Business Manager, Delphia Pierce. Jerry Nanamura acted as sports editor for the year. The other re-
porters covered various phases of school and community life. Doing the indispensable typing for the paper Was
Georgia Rogers, who typed the stencils.
Always in the background. providing advice and direction was Mr. Smith, adviser for the Spartan News.
In the spring, the Juniors took over the paper for a week and published a Junior Edition. To end the year with
a flourish, the Senior Edition was produced which contained the plans and hopes of the class.
So was completed a successful year in the history of the Spartan News.

seniors. Eighteen of these returned from last year out of a twenty-six piece band. The goal for which
we are striving is a forty piece band. When we reach this, we will then begin a marching band.
Our band played a large variety of music, some classic and some popular.
Public appearances put in by the band this year were at the Junior Play, Senior Play, Graduation, Bac-
calaureate, and in an assembly.

The Advanced Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Staton, consisted of 30 selected voices that put in many
hours of practice.
The principal voices in the different sections were John Wilcox, bassg Val Zuniga, tenor: Patty Conley
alt-og and Jeri Willows, soprano. The accompanist was Marilyn Peterson.
In October, after a month's practice the chorus traveled to Visalia to sing with other schools forming
the All-County Chorus, conducted by Jester Hairston, a well-known director, arranger, and actor. This per-
formance was given for teachers all over the county at the Teachers' Institute.
About two months before Christmas the chorus started wgrking on Handells "Messiah.l' lt was the most
difficult Derf0I'mHI1CC and lO9I'haDS the Outstanding one of the year, as far as the chorus was concerned.
The guest Soloists, W110 S9-Hg 5919050115 in the "MC-2Ssiah" were Harold Smith and Betty Gorinson. This
oratorio was given in the Presbyterian Church, along with Fred Warings' arrangement of "The Night
Before Christmas," and a, medley of Christmas carols, at the annual "Night of Music put on by the chorus.
In the spring the chorus gave its annual concert. The most successful pieces done by the chorus were,

As the school year comes to a close, the Future Farmers can look back at their accomplished goals and feel
secure in the knowledge that their work was not in vain. The freshmen found their tasks grueling and tiring but
to the more Seasoned SODh0m0reS, Juniors and seniors, it was all in a day's work of preparing themselves for
the future.
In the last four months of 1953, the Future Farmers' Calendar was well-rounded with events. The club ex-
hibited at the Tulare County Fair 111 September with each member contributing either food or livestock as
entries. Their booth took fourth in its class. Johnny Sola and Joe Cadell were awarded a "choice" ribbon for
their steers entered in the livestock exhibition.
Abellt the middle Of October the freshmen green hands were initiated into the local chapter. On October 13,
the Strathmore officers were invited to install the officers of the new Exeter chapter. Two days later, Johnny
Sola, Joe Cadell, and Harold Spuhler were elected to the F, F, A. sectional executive committee.
At the beginning of the new year, the Chapter participated in two events. First the Co-operative Quiz with
Cody Noel and Johnny Sola as contestants, and secondly, the snow trip to Lodge Pole.
The Cal Poly band and glee club provided the entertainment for the F. F. A. Assembly in March. That same
night, the Chapter sponsored the annual livestock show. Immediately following the show many of the members
loaded their steers and hogs on trucks and set out for the Cow Palace where our Chapter won many ribbons.

Then it straightway came to pass that the members ot the Class began to write down the greatest and most
wonderful of thoughts, such as no one had ever thought before since the beginning of the world, upon sheets
and sheets of foolscap, that the people who should come unto them to listen unto words of deep scholarship
upon the night of their Commencement should not need be turned away in disappointment.
So it has come to pass that of the four and eighty that entered this Land in nine-and-forty will depart, for
verily, verily I say unto you, that broad is the gate, and wide is the way that leadeth to the High School, and
many there be that go in thereatg but straight is the gate, and narrow is the way that leadeth to graduation,
and few there be that find it.
Four years hath the Class of Three-and-Fifty sojourned in the Land, and gathered in large portions from the
Tree of Knowledge: but it is written, "In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits, ye shall surely
be driven forth from the land." Now, I say unto you, .hey must depart thence to go each a separate way, t.
lands they lmow not of, to do, they know not what.
But, "let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season, we shall reap if we faint not."
And now may the blessings that ever attend the noble and good and true, follow and abide with us, each and
all, now and forevermore. Amen.
She who now speaketh these words of enlightenment unto you is one known as Patricia, of the House of Conley.
