S ally Hall Class Of '61 The athletically- inclined girls this year in the physical education classes were constantly entangling their legs in Indian Leg Wrestling. You could never find this sport listed in the Olympics, but it was a lot fun for those who participated. Nineteen sixty-one was also a year of literary accomplishment. THOUGHT, a magazine containing the best student Writing of the year, was first introduced to the stu- dent body. The theatrical highlight was The Whole Town's Talking, a farce with a Roaring Twenties setting. But the Senior Class looked to the future and presented the school with a clock and a scoreboard to be incorporated into the plans of the new gymnasium. .. fe asrwt r ,, - ' fy , Q: 3 iq Q 1-wifi-J, f ,mm 1,::.w.

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

Class Of '62 El Cajon Valley High School has never been the same, since 1962, when our campus was brightened by the warm and friendly manner of Uli Prusa, our first foreign exchange student from Austria. Her visit launched the American Field Service at our school. A new annual affair was also initiated in 1962, when the first Mardi Gras was held. The entertainment included night club acts, old time movies, and even a marriage booth. Who can forget our football team, which placed second in the Grossmont League, or the heart-pounding Grossmont game, when we captured the Peace Pipe by a close 14- 13 decision. Topping off a memorable year, our award-winning Braves Marching Band and Specialty Corps won the sweepstakes trophy at Corona, and for the second time in three years, gained the honor of participating in the Rose Parade. The class of 1962 left lasting evidence of their school spirit in their presentation of the Alma Mater which hangs in the gym and the glittering dome light which adds enchantment to the major dances of the year. 12 W , ,,,,..
