LA PUERTA 1957 Caruthers Union High School Caruthers, California Foreword We are nearing the end of another school year, the commencement of a new life for graduating seniors, another step forward in education for the remaining students. In any case, whether we be graduating or continuing at Caruthers High, we have some happy memories we shall always treasure. We, the yearbook staff have tried to enclose within these covers, memories of our 1956-1957 school year. We hope that these memories prove to be fond memories for you too, as you browse throu gh this yearbook. Dedication We, the students of Caruthers Union High School, gladly dedicate the 1957 La Puerta to Miss Jeanne Contel and Mr. Don Zimkowski for their undying efforts to build a more sound foundation for the future leaders of this great country.

WEISER Mr. DONITHORNE Mr. ELLIS Mr. EATON 7 Mr. KISLING Senior Prophecy Holy Cow! Here it is September 21st, 1977 and I haven ' t even started contacting my fellow classmates for our reunion next month. My partner and I have been busy picking cotton on Dale Sedoo ' s plantation in South Carolina a nd forgot all about our 20th year of free- dom from Caruthers High. With our bags packed and our Maxwell cranked up we hit the open road for the first name on our list. It was raining that morning and our canvas top leaked like the roofs of the old school buildings we attended our first two years at Caruthers. We stopped at a small motel on the outskirts of Dry Wells and were greeted by none other than Pauline Abemathy. She had inlierited a chain of motels irom her rich uncle. We started before sunrise the next morning and passed through Palm Springs where Jo Ann Alvey was intertaining her movie pals. Among her guests were Geraldine Andris and Joe Armas who were resting after their new movie, Singing In The Texas Rain. Near- by on lovely Salton Sea, Delose Ash and his family were busy preparing their yacht for the annual week end of cruising. It was all he could do to control the six boys of the Ash clan. Our boat for Africa was to sail the next day so we bid Dee farewell and headed for San Diego. After several blasts of the fog horn we were on our way aboard the U.S.S. Raider, a ship built and named by the Queen Of The Seas, Carol Bachelor. We were lounging on the sun deck when who do you think we should see but those three musketeers, Doima Fries, Judy Rau, and Irene Bairos. They were sunning themselves near a group of handsome business men. It seemed they were on their way to try their hand at mining gold in the Bwango Bwango River in Keetover Africa. We spent the evening in the card room where we tried to increase our fortune at the roulette wheel. Sandra Balch was singing I-found Dog on the platform. She had to share the spot -light with Hot Lips LaVerne Noia and her Hep Cats. We placed our bets and waited for Sidney Belt to spin the Dice wheel. Ffe did and the dice landed on number five. We watched as the pay girl, Janet Binkley, shoved a stack of chips down to the end of the table at the waiting hands of Leo Busch, alias. Poker Face Lee. We guided our attention to the platform once more where the chorus girls were now in the spotlight. Gee, there ' s Velma Copeland, Shirley Denman, Mary Denniston, and Mildred Douglas. They were kicking to the tune of Red Silk Stockings and Red Suspenders . Gosh, who would ever believe Louie Cardoza would wind up writing music. Among his hit tunes were: Slipping in the Mud , Red Faced Mama and Lonely Heartache Blues . We reached Africa and immediately set out for the heart of the jungle with our two guides Jerry Chaifin and Devon East. They had left America because of the high gasoline taxes. It seems their Cadillacs burned two gallons a mile. We reached Verba Verba villa ge about sundown and were greeted by Chief Juga Luba, better known as Norman Farmen. Larry Conard and Gerald Crawford were there on a big game expedition along with David Overstreet. They were after the man-eating Cannibal Witch doctor who had taken Juanita Jackson captive. She had been in Africa searching for the lost treasure of Tio Tio. We feasted on roasted wart hog, barbecued snail, filet of mud hen and poached parrot eggs prepared by the chief cook and pot washer Bill Dervishian. Our first night was spent around the campfire listening to the drums and watching the Gula Gula Zuia dancers. Our attention was caught by a tall muscular dancer and right away we recognized David, Bom Bom, Dixon. After a hearty breakfast of scrambled Dodo eggs and African Zupo tarts we headed for the airport at Dumo Tumo and boarded a Super Constellation for Paris, France. We arrived after a two hour ride and were greated at the airport by Ted Gibson, acting chauffeur for Count Dermis Dille. After a pleasant ride around gay Paree ' we came to an abrupt stop in front of the Swan Mansion of Court Dennis, the 60th. Wanda Crawford, Dennis ' wife, was serving tea for a group of nobles from England, They were Countess Faye Glass and Mademoiselle Irene Gonzales. That evening we dined at Frans Zime and later took in the French Follies at Francisco ' s. We had a table near the front and noticed Chat Diamond Johnny Stout also had a front table. He had left his diamond mine in Africa on a business venture. As the music began and the curtain was pulled aside, out strolled the pride of the French Follies, the Dimple Doodle girls. They included Margaret, Zowie, Jones, Mary, Bubbles, Jackson, Jo Ann, Oo La La, Johansen, Loralee, Tootsie, Sedoo, and Maxine, Silver Slippers, Ffcjpkins. After the show we went back stage and greeted our fellow classmates. The fashions of Paris are really something. Chief designers Gary Slickamo Eggert and William Eagle Eye Lee proved that to us. They had just created a new bathing suit for Freckle faced girls and were having them modeled by Shirley Freckles Rattan. Those strapless evening gowns also caught our eyes. They were streamlined and were modeled by Elaine Sprouls. We picked up an American newspaper and noticed the big name on the Sports page. Dave Floyd scored five TD ' s as Slippery Rock defeats Boulder Bend, 87 , to 79. In light print in the middle of the same page was the following: BobLoya, champion marble player from Caruthers, California will miss the coming Olympics because of a sore thumb. Seems he was picking grapes and disturbed a nest of yellow jackets. We traveled by Steamer to the Peanut Islands where Goober King Gilbert Maxtinusen was supervising the loading of his prize peanuts. Seems he got tired of raising com because it was only chicken feed. Rita Patakas, now Mrs. Thom.as Shelton was taking care of the kids at the kindergarten while Thomas was pearl diving in Wanwona Lagoon. While on the island we visited the Sleepy Hollow morgue where Willie Martin was practicing voodoo on a still who was found on the beach. Poor soul. We hiked into the hearts of the island where the workers lived and found Janette Khan washing clothes while keeping an eye on her two sets of twins. Marvin Kelly and his new bride, Phyllis Phillips, were honeymooning and had stopped over to visit Dave Kizer who raised purebred fleas for Charles Miguel ' s flea circus. We left these happy friends and flew back home to the good old U.S.A. Troy Graham was piloting the craft and he invited us to accompany him during our journey. The two stewardess ' were quite jealous and they turned out to be Karla Hodges and Mary Haley. We reached New York in time for the world series and found the Vankees andDodgers again battling in the fall classic. Randall Patrick was covering center-field for the Yankees. It was his first year in the majors after nineteen years in the minors. James Hill and Dorothy Harris were selling peanuts and pop corn when they saw us sitting in our box seat. Slugger Darrell Trimble picked up a bat and strolled to the plate. He slashed at the first pitch and knocked it clear into Pierce Avenue. You guessed it. It was named after Bobby Pierce who had crashed the stock market with shares in the Elvis Presley recordings. Bill Merrow was an attorney and was employed by Thomas Valentine who was suing the city of New York for damages to his Rolls Royce. It seems Thomas Workman ran into it with his street cleaner. Tom ' s only excuse was that June Wilson winked at him and his attention was taken off his job. She had been working as private secretary for Billy Vick, president of You Old Penny Pinchers Loan Company. We took a ferry across the bay to Brooklyn and saw Ear- lene Percy trying to sell June Watanabe an automatic shoe polisher. An easy way to make a second million. June had been shining shoes and had heard about Earlene ' s invention from Phyllis Masterson, a prominent operator of those Masterson cool fuzz night slippers. Say Rachel, what about Frances Maxey? We haven ' t heard about her lately. We checked the files and found her name under Sen- ator Frances N xey from the 10th district in California. She had been trying to shorten the school year from nine to six months but ran into a veto by the president. Oh yes, I ' m Louise Noia and I married a winery king. We have five little wino ' s now. My partner Rachel Ortiz is working as a chief crusher at the Monmouth winery during the fall. Everyone was checked off the list so we now know the who ' s and what ' s of the class of 57 .

VARSITY FOOTBALL-1956 The Caruthers Raiders very early stamped themselves as a determined football squad by winning the opener against tough Central. From then on it was obvious that the showdown would be with Sierra, and the Raiders play- ed tough defense to win 6-0. On successive Saturdays they marched through, over, and around all North Sierra opponents to win the title, the first in many years. Hard running backs teamed with swift charging linemen to carry the Raiders into the division playoff against strong Tehachapi, who finally subdued them 16-7. This championship resulted from sheer determination and hard work. The achieved goal was the result of plan- ning and sacrifice by both coaches and players.
