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.

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

Class Of '60 This became a banner year for the band and Bravette Corps as they marched their way to victory. Among the many awards they gained were the Long Beach and Corona Sweep- stakes for the third year in a row. Because of their great ability, they also earned the right to perform at the Demo- cratic Nominating Conven- tion in Los Angeles in the summer of 1960. The class of 1960 brought to campus many money-making schemes to finance a gift which will long be treasured by the students of El Cajon. Called simply The Brave, he stands as a symbol of strength and courage for all to see. The Brave watches over the campus. 10
