Antelope Valley High School - Yucca Yearbook (Lancaster, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 190 of the 1956 volume:

The Socnce Hall st and� in moiettic splendo' a� the front of the compos, a symbol of one of the oldest bsnldjngs ot A.V. To Mr. Robert Thomas, who has given many long working hours to the Student Body of AV, we dedicate the 1956 Yucca.'' Mr. Thomas could be seen on any day of the week organ- izing and directing activities for the students. He was a willing advisor, and he proved his skill by arranging pro- gram schedules and helping seniors with their plans for the future. Mr. Thomas was responsible for many activities of the year. Some of the things he helped to make possible were Ditch Day and the Senior Christmas Party. One of Mr. Thomas' main activities was the California Cadet Corps. He was Lieutenant Colonel, commanding officer of this chapter. He has had 13 years active duty in the service and 12 years active reserve; he was four years with the Reserve Officers Training Corps at the University of Arizona. For three summers he was Athletic Director of the California Military Training College, and four years were dedicated to the personnel and management of the U.S. Army. Mr. Thomas received his Bachelor of Arts degree at the Uni- versity of Arizona, and has had graduate training at Stan- ford University and the University of Southern California. He has been at AV only two years, and during that time he has earned the respect and affection of many students. We are proud to dedicate the Yucca to such a deserving man. -ode� U. Col.

Wind blown blossoms, alighting upon the desert, decked this arid land in spring clothes of gaiety and splendor. Typical of the desert is the twisted Joshua, as it breaks the regularity of the desert skyline, sprayed in blooms of fluffy white. Not only have we a desert in bloom, but a sunrise and a sunset that would put the glorious blossoms of spring to shame before the majestic arora. True to the great blue dome of our sky are the graceful veils of airy clouds. Beneath this ceiling The Joshua tree in bloom holds its arms to the sun os the creamy white blossoms open in radiant beauty. of clouds, the desert sprawls in its patchwork quilt like topography of farms and ranches with their crops and meadows in abundance. Bowing their heads in gratitude the trees, ocean-like fields, and flowers greet the cooling west winds that kiss the valley throughout the year. Varied and colorful flowers dot the earth to bring pleas- ure to their beholders and splashes of rare color to this land of sand and sagebrush.

Students of A.V. blossomed forth into a welter of ac- tivities such as: Teen Town, the operetta put on by the music classes; the noon dances sponsored by Mr. Peter Leyh and the broadcasting panel over KAVL by the radio production classes. The Christmas assembly presented by the Thespians, displayed an array of A. V. talent. Not to be forgotten were the exciting football, basket- ball, and baseball gomes which highlighted the year's activities. Proctice moke� perfect! Practicing for a big gome ore our peppy majorette .

Mr. Jack Wiley Building Superintendent Mr. Grosvenor Fitch Superintendent of Buses Since A.V. kept growing, the school demanded efficient workers for the staff. The Business Office rendered service in innumerable ways for A.V. where this rapid growth meant the expenditure of many dollars. The busy Attendance Office, worked constantly on programs, credits, transfers, per-enrollment, and absence reports. Our counsellors aided AVites in every possible way when problems arose. Thanks for our smooth running of the 22 bus lines goes to Mr. Grosvenor Fitch, supervisor of transportation. Our buses traveled nearly 1300 miles a day totaling 300,374 miles a year, excluding school activity trips. He also had the job of hiring our responsible bus drivers who did very well. Mr. Jack Wiley played the important part for construction of our new buildings. As inspector and supervisor he made sure the buildings were safe for the student body. BUS DRIVERS.

Standing: Harvey Casey, Judy Evers, Dean Swab, Jon Whited. Well, seniors, you had a wonderful year, didn't you? Full of fun, excitement and many, many surprises. You cheered your football, basketball, baseball, and track teams on to victory. You witnessed the first Alfalfa Bowl game, played on May's Field. You felt happy when your team won and sad when they lost. Summing the year up though, you did very well on sports. You followed the traditions set down by the preceding classes such as Alumni Day where Pat Nixon was chosen queen at the game with Oxnard. You sponsored the Alumni Assembly which consisted of senior talent. Sen- ior Ditch Day was another wonderful tradition,- at that time all of the seniors met and boarded the busses bound for a good time. It was a wonderful day, wasn't it. You wore your Senior Sweaters with pride. They were powder blue, bearing your insignia and a new idea, a class name, the Oasians. 30 Although thit poll yeor wot on« of octivitiet, it wo n't oil fun. There wo tome work too.

He was a friend to all and was always willing to help the stu- dents who needed him. Dr. Knapp, superintendent of schools since 1946, worked hard to insure the smooth operation of the school. He capably judged every policy that come up. It was a hard job well done. Mr. Albert LoBuono, Assistant Superintendent of Finances, kept the school in the black with valuable aid from the business office. Director of Activities, Mr. Nichols, arranged recreations, field trips, dances, and club meetings. He has done a fine job with the busiest schedule in the school. Dean of Girls, Mrs. Billye Adams, was kept busy coun- seling, issuing work permits, and carrying out regular Girls’ Vice Principal duties. Mr. Lowen, Dean of Boys, gave the boys counsel and guidance. Constant efforts helped build a better campus and encouraged more student activities. Administrative Assistant, Mr. Parker, kept busy with our constant problems. His full time energies were used for students and student activities. The Board of Trustees controlled student activities, finan- cial matters, personal direction, and school buildings again this year. Their job was hard and very well done. Career Day was another big event. Many choices were put up to you to help you decide your vocation. You trav- eled to many industrial plants and businesses here in your valley. Then at last the time finally came that you had been waiting four years for. Graduation! There were many things to do and to think of. You had your pictures taken and ordered your invitations. Your Baccalaureate was beautiful. At Class Night you received your yearbook before the Underclassmen. You had a Senior Breakfast, with your final farewell at the Senior Party following graduation ceremonies. Yes, it was a wonderful last year to end your high school studies.

Miss Urbanokski and Mr. Cohen did a wonderful job of sponsoring the Sophomores this last year. The first se- mester officers were: Stan Anderson, President; Judy Stout, Vice-President; Sandra Ankrum, Secretary; Tom Najarian, Treasurer; and Pat Calvert, Reporter. The sec- ond semester officers were: Pete Ramos, President; Janet Dwyer, Vice-President; Sandra Ankrum, Secretary; Judy Stout, Treasurer; Myrna Ackerman, Reporter. One of the biggest events of the year was the Sopho- more Day on January 12 when they held the Sophomore Assembly. That was the day that all the Sophomores wore their Mighty Sophs pins. Remember? It was a wonderful year for the Sophomores and it will be even better next year. SOPHOMORE, First row, left lo right: Burks, Butzke, Boines. Bielenberg. Burwell. Beasley. Armstrong, Arguedos, Adams.

The first big event of the year was the Freshman Welcome, when the boys met on Mays' Field and the girls met in the Audi- torium. The main idea was to get the students ac- quainted with each other and it was a big success. The Freshman Class was sponsored by Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs. Ballentine, and Mr. Wrathall. The officers elected by the students were Doug Sutton as President; Suzy Weir, Vice-President; Joan Gutierrez, Secretary; Vickey Clement, Treasurer; and Barbara Ballard as Reporter. The Freshmen sponsored the dance after the basketball game on January 27, but the last really big event of the year was the Freshman Dance for Freshmen and their dates. FRESHMEN.

One of the main events was the Freshman Vodville Club, which was used to further the Freshman talent here at A.V. It was the only club organized during the year entirely for the Freshmen. The Freshman Board of Control along with the class officers did a wonderful job of organizing the class' activities and events. The Freshmen sponsored some of the d onces after the football and basketball games. The biggest Freshman sponsored activity was the dance after the game on January 27. Many PcKJZ tll£ couples danced into a magic spell cast by the strains of music by Gene Leis' Moonlighters. Many Freshmen couples enjoyed the new found thrill of attending some of the big dances for the first time here at A.V. These dances contrib- uted greatly in paving the way for the Freshmen of now and of future classes. The Freshman party and the Freshman Tea were also some of the wonderful events enjoyed dur- ing the year. All of these and many other ac- tivities helped the Freshmen have a truly won- derful year that will never be forgotten in the years to come.

Jon Whited, first semester president, and Boss Anderson, who took over in the spring, led the hard working group very capably in solving the many problems which arose. When clubs and organizations submitted ideas for stu- dent activities, it was their job to consider and approve the ideas for use in our activities program. Among their many other functions, the board represented AV in the Santa Barbara-Ventura Inter-School Council meetings at the regular sessions held at various schools.

The adminis- tration referred the problems of the school to the Senate who tried to iron them out with the help of the Student Body. Al Dunn presided over these meetings. The Leadership class was newly formed this year to give the Student Body Officers more time to perform their duties and a chance to learn parliamentary procedure. The class also enabled the Board of Control meetings to be held without having to have students excused from class; Miss Ericson was their advisor. Student Court was headed by chief justice Frank Piani first semester and chief justice Diane Weir, second se- mester. The merit board kept track of the merits of all the stu- dents in the school. Dawn Cook was merit board presi- dent first semester and Caryl Godde took over for the spring term. STUDENT SENATE OFFICERS, toft to right: Ann Welch. Al Dunn, Dori Sakaguchi.

(flain {Jmfiliation The main activities of the year were planned by the Social Committees. They planned the Alumni Dance which was only one of the activities they set up for us; much fun-filled time was the result of their work. Many of our simple daily enjoyments came from the Girls' and Boys' League. They sponsored such activities as the Luggage Days. There was the Boys' Luggage Day for the boys to buy tickets and have the girl of their choice carry their books; some boys really piled on the books. On Girls' Luggage Day, the girls had their chance to get even. Revenge was sweet! The Leagues also went all out for Mum Day. This works on the same idea as Luggage Day. There is Mum Day for the girls and then for the boys. If it is Boys' Mum Day and the boy talks to a girl, he has to give her a ticket. The girl with the most tickets at the end of the day wins. It's hilarious once it gets under way. Yo-yo day came in the spring and befuddled us with a piece of wood on a simple string. The Assembly Committee planned and scheduled our as- semblies. The AVites of the year were given the enjoyment of attending these assemblies. Maybe one of the favorites of the year was the Mississippians. SOCIAL COMMITTEE, Top row. loft lo right: D. Brittoll. J.

Loads of hard work fell to the lot of all members of the Staff as they were seen working many nights after all other students had long gone. The paper was livened by up Joy Weaver's spirited editorials and some feature articles. This year as in many previous years, the paper was printed locally by Africa's Printers. Of course no school paper could do without a good advisor, and Mr. Joe Milrod was just the man to fill this trying job, as is evidenced by the fine work which went into the making up of the Sandpaper under his direction.

The Staff attended various Yearbook Workshops and Press Conferences during the year where they learned the proper procedure of putting out a Yearbook. Though the staff had many of the natural trials and tribu- lations that come with producing a yearbook they are proud to present the '56 Yucca. The photography was done by Frank Stubbings, Harold Hummel, Claude Williams, and staff photographers.

Students are recommended for membership for outstand- ing literary achievements throughout the year. It is a great honor to be selected for membership in this or- ganization. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Milrod, the group worked on literary projects directed by Deanna Coddington and her able officers. Under the direction of Mr. Stevens, the members of the radio production class put on a variety of weekly pro- grams throughout the year. Radio production taught the students a great deal about radio stations, correct use of the microphone, and many other things pertaining to radio work. To gain Honor Society membership you have to earn ten points, these points were awarded for good grades and certain activities. All members receive a special pass which entitles them to the privilege of unsupervised study. Some of the activities sponsored by Miss Dart were a Snow Party at Big Pines and a banquet.

Remember the bus drivers as they'd turn all colors in an effort to quiet us down? Yes, old buses were made of new ones The times the buses really rocked and rolled were on the way home from Varsity football games. Everyone was excited with that old school spirit as our team triumphed. How much did the Future Teachers Association work at UCLA on their field trip? Did they work at all? On the field trip of the agricultural classes, how much land did they leave undemolished? There's nothing to worry about though, the demolished land can probably still grow things. Possibly the stronger weeds can survive At the UCLA Band Day, the band had a rip-roaring time. They also lived it up in Long Beach at the All-Western Band Review. The songs wern't sad — they cried over the musicians. Arts and Crafts went on an educational field trip to the Indian Museum. Later they broke loose and scaled the buttes. If you went on any of these trips you found out how much fun oridnary things could be. Remember rho� gome?

Mr. Thomas, the sponsor of the Cadet Corps, did a wonder- ful job directing the boys throughout the year. This was naturally a big job, but he did very well with the able as- sistance of the Cadet officers, Lt. Col. John Jackson, Capt. Bill Watson, Capt. Robert Spencer, 1st Lt. Garry Amo, and 2nd Lt. Jack Anthony. The Cadets were guides for the many confused parents on campus on the night of open house. They were helpful at the football games and ably represented A.V. at the rifle competitions throughout the state. The Cadets uniforms which always looked neat and crisp, gave the boys a reason to be proud ot be known as members of the California Cadet Corps. The Lettermen’s Club consists of AV's top athletes. The lettermen officers were Don Keithley, President; Dean Swab, Vice-President; Al Dunn, Secretary-Treasurer; and Ted Han- son, Sergeant at Arms. The club was sponsored by Coach Bockman and was used to further athletics here at AV. At the beginning of the year, the Lettermen had the traditional black sweaters with the Varsity Letter on them, but later they got their jackets which they wore with pride. As a service club, they sponsored the grammar school bas- ketball tournaments in March and also ran the concessions at the football games in the fall. The Lettermen’s Club is a worthwhile organization that we are very happy to have here at AV. Our congratulations to the Cadet Corps and the Lettermen’s Club for their wonderful assistance in school activities and other functions which are of service to everyone.

Three groups in AV existed, volunteering their own time and effort to make a better school. You could find the Knights keeping order in the assem- blies and in the halls and helping out in whatever serv- ice they could find. Keeping order and serving refreshments, the Usherettes worked at social gatherings, plays and PTA meetings. Another group was the projectionists without whom we could not have had movies, record players, or tape re- cordings. These three groups, though small, were a very important factor in the backbone of AV high. 103 A typico I Usherette club mooting presided over by Sandro Edmondson.

Their wild antics on the front lawn during noon hours caused quite a comotion. The initiates were forced by club members to sing nursery songs, play games, polish shoes, and crawl up stairs and down halls. However, after it was all over they felt very happy to be mem- bers and belong to the group. Top right: Having fun? A few of the Big A Ini- tiaret display their talent.

Under the guidance of Mr. John Gary the Farmerettes were active this year in their projects and activities. They wore light blue sweaters which could be identified any- where on campus. Another organization, probably one of the largest at school, was the Future Farmers of America. They carried projects and learned many things to help them with their work at home on the farm. Their traditonal assembly was held in February; this annual affair was composed of participants from all the FFA classes and was de- clared a riot by the student body. FFA OFFICERS, left to ri hf: G.

Reds, greens and greys dominated with various hues of pastels following in the Spring. The boys gained rec- ognition in their new style shirts, the latest concentrating mostly on new neck lines. The most unique were the mandarin shirts. There were many colorful and abstract designs carrying a Chinese theme. Another neck style was the Italian shirt. These came in bold stripes and solid colors. Peggers were still in style this year but even more radical colors were worn, such as: turquoise, yellow, and chartreuse. White peggers made a big splash with the guys this year, being so versatile they could be worn with any color shirt. The guys and gals were in agreement with sweaters. They wore many beautiful colors and the steadies wore them to match. The matching outfits were called twin outfits, and to top it off the boy's class ring was very becoming hanging on a chain around the girl's neck. The boys didn't have all the styles though. The girls, not to be outdone, bloomed in the ever popular flannel pencil skirts. A very cute and pert style was full skirts with multi-colored slips, the more the better. Sweaters and skirts in matching colors become very popular. Col- lars, dickies, and colored scarves added the proper touch to the sweaters with flowers taking over in the early spring. For casual wear, capri pants and white bucks were the trend. Many new colors in suede shoes made an exciting addition to campus color combines. The trend was toward casual but attractive dress, and all in all it was a very successful, colorful, and style conscious year.

The main project of the year was the operetta, Pirates of Penzance, which was a smashing success. The lovely lyrics and music produced by the A Cappella Choir moved audiences with close harmonies and varied tempos. Mr. William Ballard competently led the orchestra through an- other year which insured musical entertainment. The combination of percussion, brass, woodwinds and strings together produced an enjoyable and active musical group. Being an important part of the operetta, the orchestra set the mood for the excite- ment of the story. The music departments enjoyed festivals and trips throughout the year in which they participated and also heard music groups from all over the country. ORCHESTRA, First row, loft to right: N. Harvey.

Early in September, they started off the round of events by marching in the Fair Parade. In November, came the Annual All-Western Band Review where the Band journeyed to Long Beach. After that there was the Christmas Parade. During the fall, the Band participated in all the home football games and put on fascinating half-times. In January, they started practicing for the all important Annual Spring Concert which was held in May. The music was wonderful and everyone enjoyed it. Band members who chose to participated either as soloists or in an ensemble group at the Music Festival where they all did very well. All of those and many other activities went together to make a wonderful year and also gave each and every Band member a reason to be proud to wear the uniform of the Antelope Valley High School Band. 117 The newly organized dance band, sponsored by and under the direction of Mr. Dean Russell, displayed their musical talents by playing for assemblies, dances, and other social activities. Presided over by Tom Macauley, the dance band made its first appearance of the year in the alumni assembly ploying a variety of dance hits and accompanying vocalists. Other outstanding performers of the year were our ma- jorettes and our senior band. Combining their skills with those of the band the majorettes led the band in parades at Quartz Hill, Lancaster, Long Beach, and other such places. Kappa Legga Bootz, the majorette club, sponsored the annual Backward Boot Ball with a girl ask boy theme; Judy Evers was the president of the club.

This year it was Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Pen- zance. It is the story of a young man who had been apprenticed to a pirate king by his nurse maid. The en- suing results were hilarious, and the performance was enjoyed by everyone who saw it. Enjoying the leads in this year's Spring Play were Joni Bird, Chris Adams, Connie Stone. Dee Potter, and Ken McMillin. The play was Curtain Going Up, a story of a young drama teacher, Joni Bird, putting on her first production in a high school.

This year it was bigger and better than ever. A.V. boasted a powerful team in '56 with plenty of the vigor and hope that makes champions. On number one sack we found Hix and Pebley, a pair of boys that were always on their toes. On second was Lasagna and Smith. These two boys got a lot of atten- tion in this position. In the position of short stop were Rime and Story. Three fast boys on the pitcher's mound were Dunn, Cole, a Ooji and Thomas. The men behind the batter in catcher's position were Worden and Johnson. Not to be forgotten way out in left field were Kiethly and Rini. Mead and Johnson in center field and a crowded right field with Early, Robinson, Yingling and Avery. We had a little bad luck in our first game with a 2-0 loss to Pacific, but came back from Barstow with a 12-3 win. The season, which ended up with a big bang, gave us reason to be proud of our team.
