I Class 7 Our first Indian mascot was Frank Rico. Cats Pajamas was the annual Girls' League slumber party. Most students will remember 1958 as the year of the Asian Flu epidemic. This malady not only caused widespread classroom absences but even brought about the cancellation of a football game. There were many bright spots however, Our FFA poultry judging team won the state cham- pionship and also brought back a bronze medal from national competition. Our band began their chain of triumphs at the All-Western Band Review by capturing the Sweepstakes Trophy. The cross country team rounded out this series of victories when they came home with the state championship. It was in 1958 that El Cajon began a tradition of selecting a Brave Mascot to march with the band. Frank Rico was chosen for the honor this year. Dramatics also came in for a share of the attention. The Little Theater was ablaze with lights for many nights as th cast rehearsed for their presentation of the Broadway smash hit, Gramercy's Ghost . A lasting heritage was provided by the class of 1958 with their pres- entation of the marquee and loudspeakers to supplement the public address system donated by the previous class. E

Students swing at the dance, A LITTLE BIT OF STARDUST California State Cham pions go to Penn State. Class Christine Hem reigned as Queen at El Cajon's first homecoming. At this time the graduates of 1956 returned to their Alma Mater to attend the Grossmont-El Cajon football rivalry for the peacepipe. Political interest in this election year was stimulated by a campus wide poll. Braves reflected the national feeling that the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket would attain victory. A maj or topic on campus this year was the possibility of having a junior College in the El Cajon area. This goal was achieved in 1960 as predicted by the Grossmont Union High School Board. An El Cajon High F. F. A. team took first place in the state poultry show this year winning the honor of representing California in the National F. F. A. judging contest. The Senior Class brought this year to a close by donating the Public Address System as a constant reminder of their class. Sr. Class Pres. Bill Lowrey A. S.B.

Delegates exercise iiieir political rights. Class '59 Queen Linda is presented to the student body. Eacker's touchdown jaunt defeats Grossmont. The first senior class to begin their secondary education at El Cajon Valley High found themselves attending staggered sessions to avoid crowded classroom conditions. Operating under this handicap, communication of stu- dent activities became a problem. Perhaps this explains why the first with four class gave the school the Senior Booth in hopes of easing crowded con- ditions at the A. S. B. office. The seniors also provided the money for a special scholarship. This year at the Football Carnival, we played Gross- mont. Everyone cheered as Eacker intercepted a pass and ran 89 yards for the winning touchdown and victory over our traditional rival. We were politically conscious also this year, when for the first time the A. S. B. in- stituted a two-party system and con- ducted conventions for each. 9 Sr. Class Pres. Carl Stephani A. S. B. Pres.
