Snow fell heavily over the grounds of oor fair school. Oor every day compos was transformed into o majestic snowlarvd which brought beauty to the eyes of all who sow oor compos. T On o cold, groy day in Jonuory, snow fell on AV campus ond turned it into o winter wonderland. Covered with snow is the Cafeteria, old Science ond the many trees sur- rounding them. These buildings hove stood many years on our campus ond this year is to be their lost. Next year new buildings will be roised In their place. Pictured in o frame of snow is part of AV's modern new compos. English row ond the new Science buildings ore cov- ered with almost a foot of snow. This AeMMet This year the Yucca staff wishes to dedicate the 1957 Yucca to the custodians. These are the men who keep our campus looking nice, the way we want it to look. This book is dedicated to Floyd S. Babler, Zachariah P. Booth, D. G. Hart, Bernard Minkler, Jeff Reed, who were under the supervision of Head Custodian Roy Stephenson. All of these men can boast of a job well done. The theme of our book, Out of This World, describes perfectly the unlimited service of the men who work here without recognition through the whole year, and now we would like to pay tribute to them, and give them the many thanks from the entire Associated Student Body of A.V.H.S. with the dedication of the 1957 Yucca. One of (he familior sights around campus seems to be this one Few people realize the work thot goes info this project of keeping our campus clean. 5 ( yi (Imbiih Viutl n — K ) ( y clv faing.....W ( yietloUleb......... 4 ( oSSeh .........£ o$po ti........148 Y A.

As we reminisce the years gone by we know our fondest memories will always linger there. Some friends we made may never part from us; while others will be thought of as we recall our happy teen-age memories. 26 2nd Semester senior doss officers were Anita Barton, Judy Tomer. John Bennett. Jane lockheort. and Marilyn Mclaurin. Q enwhb We liked our teachers and they became our friends when they treated us as adults and confessed that they were once young too. As we pass through the halls of A. V. High for the last time as students, we take with us always a part of our school into the challenging world.

Everyone was well pleased with their striking modern design. Junior day planned by the Junior senate and board of control was held November 21. Junior pennants were sold and a Harvest Moon Ball topped off the day. V- n Bob Hoye� , Pretident; Ron Worden, Vice Pre� iden� ; Carolyn Miller, Secretary; Madeline Fvrry. Reporter; ond Pot Tollo� .

The juniors produced a beau- tiful setting and the whole evening was a big suc- cess with the lovely junior queen reigning. Heading this year's activites for the first semester was president Stan Anderson; and for the second semester President was Bob Hayes. Yes, it can be said that eagerness and spirit were the contributions of this year's Junior class.

The Sophomore class led a very active schedule during this last year. One of the first programs sponsored by the Sophomores was one of the many Football Dances which turned out a success. This ambitious class of '59 participated in the promotion of the annual swimming party, this party being held at the swimming pool of A.V.J.U.H.S. and the music com- ing from none other than the ever-present juke-box. The high-light of these Sophomore sponsored activities was the Sophomore Day which was held January 18th. The day's agenda included an assembly held sixth and seventh periods featuring the ''Blackouts. Also included in the program were comedy acts which featured twenty of our A.V. boys dressed up as girls, daintly throwing daisies. During the exciting Sophomore Day, the Blackouts set up their band in the girls' gym for the Sophomore dance. The finale of this wonderful day was the big dance that night at the Parkview Elementary School. Fir� � row, loft � o right: Timothy Acker. Rihcard Adorn , Richard Agor, Don Alderman.

As the first Sophomore Day of this year was a success, plans were put forth to schedule the second Sophomore Day of the year. Never-ending credit and many thanks go to Mr. Ferrell, the class advisor, and his staff. Throughout the year they sponsored and helped in the planning of the va- rious activities, acted as chaperones, kept order during the assemblies and rallies. The Sophomore class also gives thanks to Mr. Stevens, who donated the vse of the back of his radio room for meetings of the class officers. Class officers for the first semester were: Perry Pulos, President; Nadine Reyes, Vice-President; Marcey Kloster, Secretary,- Barbara Ballard, Treasurer; and Mary Donlan, Reporter. The second semester officers were: We know that this class will do equally as well next year in their Junior Year. Firw row. left to right: Pearl Bockmon. Cothy Bothell.

AV's freshmen have completed their first and prob- ably their most confusing year of high school. During this past year at AV, the freshmen, 658 of them to be exact, have adjusted themselves as well as possible to high school, developing on their way one of the most important things of any organiza- tion, spirit. Learning early, our freshmen have overtaken two of their most important steps, team work and school spirit. The Freshmen Welcome helped greatly in getting the freshmen acquainted at the first of the year. Looking over events of the year, we find more activi- ties for the freshmen and some dances after the foot- ball games sponsored by them. Freshmen counselors this year were Mr. Wrathall and Mrs. Baldwin. They are always there when the freshmen are in need of help, whether it is about their programs or personal reasons. The frosh officers this year were Rudy O'Toole as President; Judy Tucker as Vice President; Chris Barden as Secretary; Judy Hassard as Treasurer; and Hugh Dickie as Reporter. left to Right— Row 1: Don Abrums, Bill Achotx.

[ated footba and by p- ’iani qok over. i K V our two Student have enjoyed a captain of our the first semester ite in the spring for the fine job goes also to the hard working :ers helping our presidents. First rloHticers were: Vice President, Ron Puckett; Secretary, Ann Anderson; and Treasurer, Janet Dwyer. During the spring, officers were: Vice President, Kurt Pickus; Secretary, Janet Dwyer; and Treasurer, Russell Wolfe. The Board of Control, under the sponsorship of Mr. Abe Loewen, had the responsibility of ap- proving assemblies and activities for the Student Body. They considered many suggestions offered by the faculty and students to plan an enjoyable year at AV. One of the most important boards at AV was the Merit Board. Headed by Jeanine Amick and Shawnie Leonard, first and second semester presidents, respectively, the girls kept track of tardiness, unexcused absences, merit grades, and citizenship grades. — Composed of a student representotive from every first period class, the Student Senate provided a link between the Student Body and the Board of Control and Administration. The Senate worked on the campus cleanup problem as well as other problems brought up by the Administration and the Student Body. The meetings were presided over by Ben Hayes. The Leadership Class, advised by Miss Ericson, consisted of Student Body officers. In this class they learned parliamentary procedure and they also had time to hold meetings and perform their duties. This class enabled AV to have very capable officers. cLgc ' ■ Presided over by Chief Justice Bdbby Smith and Ben Hayes, first and second semesters respec- tively, the Student Court dealt with the school law violators. The Social Committee planned all of the main activities of the year. Ron Puckett was head of this committee. The combined efforts of the Girls’ and Boys’ Leagues brought days of fun to AV. They spon- sored Luggage Day, Yo Yo Day, and Mum Day. Behind the scenes of all assemblies worked the Assembly Committee who planned and sched- uled everything.

Photographers Jon Krainock Bill Wilder Business Manager Sharon Arthur Together, the staff worked continuously to meet their deadlines and at the same time to bring forth more in- teresting and exclusive editions. Few of us realize just how much work is involved in publishing a newspaper. With just a little over a week before each publication to arrange interviews, write the news articles, and meet the deadline, the staff is constantly at work. Sports Editor Chuck Keortge IJumcL Putting forth their precious time and hard work, teaming toget- her as one big family, our Yucca staff offers to you the beauti- ful 1957 Yucca. Guiding them along the way was the Yucca advisor, Mr. Ralph Nybakken, and Editor-in-Chief, Jule Bishop. Yucca Staffers had a big job and many necessary deadlines to meet. Time and efficiency were their most treasured objects. The Staff has known hours and hours of work, innumerable headaches, and many hearty laughs. A visit to the Yearbook House in Monrovia was made by Staff members to further their knowledge on the procedure of yearbook publishing. They learned how to put what you wonted into yearbook form. The photography was done by King's Photography with the help of Student Photogrphers, Bob Fairfield and Mike Price. The Pic- tures have been somewhat enlarged over last year.

The twenty girls who make up the membership are seen at Football games showing people to their seats in the grandstands, directing parents at Open House, and dressed in flowing formals ushering people to their seats at Community Concerts. The Honor Society membership consists of students who have a high scholastic rating. To become a member they have to meet the requirements as well os have the faculty's approval. The majorettes' initiation included a slumber party, the initiates having to sleep on the floor. Friday morning the initiates came to school dressed as babies and were covered with limburger cheese. They also had to eat garlic and at the end of the week had to take the rest of the girls out to dinner. These lovely A.V. girls are showing their finery to the Yucca photographer. Ap- parently the Usherette initiation isn’t taking up too much of their time be- cause broom flying lessons are being given in the foreground. After their aeronautics lessons. I’ll bet they will find the bar-b-que following the initia- tion a relaxing treat. Here Honor Society initiates dress as little girls and boys. Playing in the mud was one of the many things that these cute children were found doing throughout the day of the initiation. The games they played were many and I'm sure some quite embarrassing moments occurred. But all was in fun and now they are full fledged members of the Honor Society. Mama I want my bottle, was a very popular saying during the Majorettes initiation. Dorothy Draper takes her bot- tle like a good girl, and Marilyn Mclau- ren comments on her wonderful be- havior. Marilyn Robinson patiently awaits her turn and hopes that there will be enough left. Shy and very red faced is Judy Stout, looking like the sweet little girl she is. The A.V. Big A held their annual initiation January 25. It was a formal initiation with special events taking place during the day for the girls. Require- ments for Big A members are 250 sports points and 50 service points. The Girls' Athletic Association held their annual for- mal initiation again early this year. As usual, there was the customary signing of the scrapbook. A.V.'s Future Farmers of America held their annual intiation on October 5 with Mr. Bill Galliher acting as advisor. The 80 greenhands, which were initiat- ed, came to school dressed as farmers' daughters, wearing field boots, make-up, and other items. A formal initiation was held the same night in the high school auditorium. A formal initiation was held by the Big A this year. Among those to become members were Barbara MacDonald, Mary Morris, Diana Hefferon, Toni Ben- son, Annett Van Dusen, Betty Baker, Roberta Rudesill, Debbie Kayz, Dawn Cook, Amelia Carbarga, Frances Shrop- shire, Pat Reed, Carolyn Arnold, Anita Barton, Jean Hunsicker, Anna Watts. Signing the GAA scrapbook is Elane Ritter. Waiting patiently for their turn are Nancy Pettit and Nancy Stafford. Looking on are GAA Cabinet members Anna Watts, Anita Barton, Toni Benson and Diana Hefferon. This scene is taken from part of the formal initiation that was held by the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion. Here FFA President Joebob Beebe pre- sides over the meeting in which new members rceived their formal initiation. During the informal initiation the initi- ates had to dress as girls and polish the shoes of the old members, and do what- ever they were commanded by their su- periors. 115 Evelyn Tentfeld F.H.A.

The Girls' Glee sang No Candle Was There and No Fire, the A Cappella sang an old Coventry carol called Lullay Than Little Tiny Child, and God Be With You. In the Spring Concert there were 170 singers that included the A Cappella Choir, Girls' Glee, Boys' Glee and the Ciris' Chorus. This year the A Cappella Choir and Boys' Glee went down to the University of Southern Califor- nia for a Music Festival to represent AV. About 18,000 students of the University of Southern California participated in festivals of this type. The Girls' Glee also represented AV in the Music Festival at Holywood High in May. The new uni- form for the Girls' Glee was a cornflower blue sweater with a slim black skirt. They wore them for the first time last year at the same Music Festival. The A Cappella Choir looks forward to the Music Festivals and trips Mrs. Vaughan plans for them throughout the year. Their robes that they wear on their trips are maroon with white trim. The Boys' Glee dress is dark blue jackets with light color slacks. When the boys are in their group singing, they look terrific and they sound the same. We are proud to say that these vocal groups represent our school with pride. Row I, left to fight: Moble Mocgibbon. Joyce lumbey.

The students in Pep Band furnished a real feeling of spirit for the Pep Rallies and the basketball games. One of the windiest, most exciting events for the Pep Band was the day they furnished the music for the assembly at which the Rev. Bob Richards spoke. The Pep Band consists of members of the Senior Band that wish to play for the assemblies, pep rallies, and basketball games when the Senior Band doesn't play. Formed also from the Senior Band is the Brass Choir which has trombones, horns, cornets, sousa- phones, and all other brass instruments. Another group is the Woodwind Choir, made up of reed instruments such as clarinets, flutes, oboes, and other instruments of the same type. These groups performed at the Music Festival here at AV and they did an excellent job. Our congratulations go to these terrific music groups for the splendid performance throughout the year.

Ballard, sponsored the District Music Festival here on March 23rd, which was a big success for them. They put on their annual Spring Concert, which was enjoyable for the many people who attended. This year, as lost year, Lizbeth Ballard led the AV Senior Morching Bond through the football season with grcot success. In November, the Band went to All-Western Bond Review at Long Beach and tied for 3rd place with the Arcadia Indians in Closs A. Our congratula- tions to the Bond for presenting a wonderful year.

The AV High School Senior Band under the direction of Mr. William H. Ballard, was a success again this year. Every student of AV has reason to be proud of this Band Working two periods a day, the Band put on excellent as we all are. Through great respect for Mr. Ballard, the Band works hard to put on a good performance and makes a good impression on everyone, no matter where they may be. Working two periods a day, the Band put on exclelent half-time activities for the football games. For some time before the All-Western Band Review, they marched up and down Lancaster Blvd. trying to perfect their ranks, files, and diagonals, while playing Burst of Trumpets. They were rewarded when they went to Long Beach for the Band Review and received 3rd place in Division A, tying with Arcadia High School. The climax for the first semester marching season came when the Band put on the half-time for the CIF semi- final game against Downey here on the AV playing field. The next night was the Annual Christmas Parade with Santa Claus and all. To begin the second semester they practiced concert music vigorously for the District Music Festival, which was held here at AV for the first time on March 23rd. This made all the band members proud to represent our school. Next they presented their very successful Annual Spring Concert, playing such numbers as Emblem of Unity, High Tor, Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral, Aller- seelen, and many others. Chosen outstanding Senior Girl and Boy in Senior Band” were Lisbeth Ballard and Earl Griffin.

The song leaders had new uniforms this year that were very becoming. They wore fop hats and tails, and carried canes. They also have their white uniforms with pom poms and canes. The yell leaders had red and white skirts with red V-neck sweaters. The song leaders did several new routines this year that were really terrific. They did Take Me Out To The Ball Game that came out big with the students. The yell leaders came out with quite a few new cheers this year.

Princesses Lucy Bunker and Nancy Haley, captured the mood of the occasion with grace and charm. At the beginning of the game, Don Keithly, captain of the football squad, presented the queen with her royalty. and then they were escorted by members of the Cadet Corps to their seats in the grandstand where they viewed the football game with Santa Paula. After the game followed a wonderful evening of danc- ing, and refreshments. The soft lights set off the music of Ralph Rosa s band.

Approximately four-hundred people attended this event. The Melody Men brought forth an evening of beautiful soft music, and the swirl of full formals kept everyone in a dreamy mood all through the night. As the evening progressed a line was formed and the King, Queen and the attendants proudly walked down the aisle to receive their crowns. Leading the procession were the attendants Jo Ann Pellizer, and JoBob Beebe, then came Anita Barton and Steve Hendrix, and follow- ing them were the King and Queen—Frank Piani and Renee Rumble. Wearing their crowns very proudly and with sparkling eyes they were honored with a dance of their own. There'was a warm atmosphere through- out the whole evening. Everyone who attended the 1956 Christmas Ball had a fabulous and unforgetable time. Her Majesty Renee Rumble it crowned by King Frank Piani in a whirl of hoppinets. 135 Junior-Senior Prom Queen Corol Stewart UJWfL Princess Morgoret fury On the evening of May 18, 1957, the beautiful queen of the Junior-Senior Prom, Carol Stewart, was crowned in a lovely oriental paradise. Princesses Margaret Furry, Judy Stout, Jackie Criffield, and Ann Dahlitz with the Queen reigned regally throughout the dance. After the crowning the Queen and her date were honored by a dance of their own; the rest of the couples soon joined them. From eight to twelve midnight, the Juniors and Seniors danced to the music of one of the finest bands available and enjoyed attending the first formal dance held in the new boys' gym. In a swirl of formals and soft lights, the couples enjoyed the last big dance of the year. The theme of the Junior-Senior Prom was Sayonara , which means farewell in Japanese. It was a lovely farewell to the Seniors and one they'll never forget. Prince ! Judy Stour left: Prince Jackie Criffield.

The selection of the students on this page was done by students, teachers and counselors. The selection was done on the basis of grade aver- age and merit grade, their personality, and also service to the school and their class. In our opinion, these students are very deserving of this honor and we hope you agree with us. On the next two pages we have another added attraction called Big Wheels from the Senior Class. The choice of the Big Wheels was done in the same way that the Outstanding Students were chosen. We hope that these two pages will partly take the place of the Senior Blue Book. We hope to continue this in the years to come, and we think it will be something for every student in all the classes to work toward.

Their superb playing will long be remembered by the students and alumni of the high school. In their first game, with Cathedral, the Antelopes almost ended up on the short side, when they fought the Phantoms to a 13-13 tie. Charlie Spencer tallied both TD's for the Antelopes on smashing off-tackle plays. The following week the grid squad traveled to San Bernardino to gain their first win over the Cardinals by a score of 7-0. The Antelopes were held to only one score because of numerous penalties. In their next game with Jefferson High School of Los Angeles, they waxed the Democrats with a score of 28-19. AV dominated the yardage - on - ground throughout the entire game. With spirits high, and a will to win, the Antelopes trounced their next victim, Westchester, with a lop- sided score of 39-7. Charlie Spencer, a three-time All-Ventura Leaguer, falied half of AV s points. In the first league game, the Antelopes chased Ven- tura home with a score of 13-7.

The Antelopes traveled to Oxnard in a crucial grid duel that would decide the League Championship. Oxnard’s supposedly strong team wasn’t strong enough as the Antelopes swamped them 33-12. After the final gun ended the next game with Santa Paula, the Antelopes became the first Ventura League champions from Antelope Valley in 19 years. The Varsity rolled over the Cardinals 25-0. The next game saw the Antelopes going into CIF playing against the Burbank Bulldogs. Burbank's famed passing offense almost proved to be the undoing of the Antelopes. The locals rallied in the final period ending the game with a score of 27-21. Determined to make the Semi-finals, the team scored a smashing upset victory over the previously undefeated Catholic League Champs, the Mt. Carmel Crusaders. The Antelopes, playing against the big- gest line in California, dominated the game from beginning to end. The Antelopes fell before the onslaught of Downey High School, alias Randy Meadows and Company. AV’s only two tallies came in the final quarter when Charlie Spencer went over from the 3 yard line and Piani connected with Donlon on a 55 yard pass play.

The Frosh-Soph team is made up of many boys who hope to eventually work up to the Varsity team in the next couple of years.

The support of these many different merchants here in Antelope Valley determine the size and quality of our yearbook.

Later on, during the month of March, the entire staff and other students of A.V. boarded one of our own school buses and proceeded again to these two towns. This time it was to fake pictures. Jim Trehearne of King Photography worked side by side with the students of A.V. and the Yucca advisor, Mr. Ralph D. Nybakken in capturing the true perspective of each business establishment.
