S. has become a part of our proud history, Once again our students have won honors and distinction for themselves, their school, and their community by their many fine accomplishments. Now that another has passed, it might be well to make a self evaluation. The key question for you to answer is Have I really done my very best? Whether it be in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in some other activity, only you can answer this quesg tion, Your classmates and teachers may draw some fairly accurate conclusions as a result of your per- t 's lllanagemen t AN UNTIRING STAFF of conscientious workers , appeared as we entered the double doors that open into the main office. T In this office we found the faculty busy typing tests, fighting their way to the ditto machine, and talking over our grades. Our Board of Trustees were confronted with dif- ficult problems this year, but these civic - minded men solved them with . Wy! fairness. DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT BUD QUADE interrupts a busy schedule to talk with a formance, but the final answer rests with you, And so it will be for the rest of your life. To do your very best you must be constantly competing with yourself to put forth a peak effort, and in that way your regrets will be few in number. Do not spend a single second in useless regret. But rather, remember that one can expect future bless- ings only to the degree in which he is thankful for what has occurred in the past. Make yourselves worthy of success and happiness, and they surely will gravitate to you. Sincerely, G. W. Quade P anned To our Administrators we owe a hearty thanks for their unselfish efforts to make this year a bet- ter one. Thus at the close of another year at E.U.H.S. we may certainly point with pride to the alleg- iance of the people we have learned to know, not only as teachers, principals and board members, but lifetime friends to be re- membered in the years to come. ,Q af' J ,, J.

BILL RADNEY pauses in in the latest issue of the Cougar' front of the Administration office for .wqhr I a word of greeting to a new student All of us want to achieve success. We think and make Plans to gain future goals, We have the ambition to get ahead, This is a driving force that helps us to keep going. However, we sometimes see people with such driving ambi- tions that they become selfish and narrow in their goals. So, ambition needs to be tempered with kind- ness and concern for others, Actually this is worthwhile, because success is rarely achieved by oneself without the help, understanding and support of others. As we become concerned with what is best for our whole group, we are thereby strengthened and our wisdom is broadened until in the end we can meet greater achievement. ln parting, we wish the members of the class Of l956 all the Success in the world in their future endeavors. Sincerely, W. P. Rodney, Principal li elf W'li :ll f Q TAP . . . TAP , , A goes the typewriter, Buzz . . . sounds the phone, The organized schedule of the Business office transformed the plans of the Board and Administrators into a reality. The stress and strain of keeping a complicated financial budget was handled efficiently. Mrs. Florence Houck with her office knowledge would be difficult to replace, The administrators depended greatly on the assistance she rendered, Mr. Leo Calac, known for his bright smile, busy at his desk or away, was one of the outstanding Business Managers in the county, Such long hours of planning and detailed effort was invaluable to a smooth running system. Mrs. Houck and Mr. Calac ,, 4 ALWAYS READY and willing to tackle a tough or unexpected task, Mr, Ed Roy and Mr. .lim Ahler sparked each others enthusiasm as they shared the job of Vice-Principal The office arrangement was un- usual this year with Mr. Ahler situated in the band practice rooms at City Campus. Giving helpful guidance, he worked with the faculty to make the freshman's year outstanding. Mr, Roy gave full time to the im- portant duties of the administration at Valley Campus. He supervised the merit records, counselled with new stu- dents, and sponsored the Cougar Knights. Sala eduled 0 TRUSTEES cn the School Board, left to right, included: Bill Kennedy Dan Johnston, Frank Watson, Presi dent Pro Tem, Ralph Powers, Presi- dent, and C. Mark Reed, Clerk. Prog:-a A ffefeewrfvss A GROWING COMMUNITY created many difficulties to be met by our Board of Trustees. After defeat of the school bonds in l955, Board Members were faced with the problem of providing sufficient classrooms with very limited funds. During the summer a new wing was added and plans were made to house the Freshmen at City Campus. Another important decision involved the demolition of the vacant main building at City Campus. Decisions were reached only after care- ful study, and Escondido is grateful to these men for their untiring efforts to reach solutions which would guarantee a smooth running school, THE OFFICE STAFF worked quickly and efficiently to take care of the many assignments made by the administration. At left, Mrs. Bea Duncan worked at City Campus, while Mrs. Elmina Deal helped the different organizations with their financial problems. Mrs. Norma Casto served as attendance clerk, and Mrs. Ruth Pritchett kept the student records. WHAT A JOB! With only five periods this year, the students had many scheduling problems to test such patient understanding Counselors. Standing beside the teachers' boxes, Mr. Guy Fox, Mrs. Lucile Ming and Mr. Sheldon Eller took a few minutes to discuss a current problem. ? cultq Thine ed Idea A FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE accompan- ied the faculty staff as they worked to- gether in close cooperation to teach the students of E.U.H.S. Schedules were com- plicated as many teachers commuted be- tween City and Valley Campus. Their patience was often tried by care- fully planned excuses and well-meant jokes from the students. Still they strived to make the classroom a pleasant, educa- tional experience so that the students could prepare to carry on the responsi- bilities of the future. PUT AWAY ALL NOTEBOOKS, cheat sheets, gyp slips and aids to grades. Mr. Georges greeted the students and gave the daily vocabulary quiz. Mr. John Georges, Mr. Wallace Gray, and Mr. Albert Weissburg present to the students a full English course. A SOUTHERN BELLE was added to the English Department this year in the person of Mrs. Dorothy Porch who taught English and Dramatics with a pleas- ant accent. Mrs. Margaret Dove, in addition to Sopho- more English, advised the Escohi-lites, Miss Charlotte Breidenstein, teaching Sophomore English, kept busy as advisor to the Sophomore class. 'f'- J: W--H -1-mi---Q gi, AMO, AMAS, AMAT ,.,, verb conjugation is impor- tant in mastering a foreign language, Miss Bernice Brand, Spanish teacher, pointed out on the map the Spanish speaking countries, while Mrs. Kay Vogel, Latin teacher, held the globe for Mr. Thorpe, who also taught Spanish and English. SOCIAL STUDIES was an important class in orienting the freshmen. Working together to pre- pare the students for a full, interesting program in their high school were: Mr, Sam Cooper, Mr. Norman Cheung, and Mr, Sheldon Eller, These three men also served as Freshmen Advisors, A GOOD DISCUSSION was in progress as Mr. Ralph Randels and Mr, Hoyt Sherrill looked over the calendar of past presidents. Class discussion is very important in the U, S. History and American Problems classes. Mr. Ran- dels is also advisor for Future Teachers and the Jr, Class, Mr. Sherrill advises the C.S,F, and the Senior Class. l'LL TAKE THAT ONE! lt's a big package. Wonder what's inside? Playing Santa Claus, Mr, Mirise, Mr. Quade, and Mr, Radney examine the label. The cafeteria rang with laughter, and the sing- ing of familiar Christmas carols could be heard as the faculty put aside classroom problems to enter into the spirit of the annual Christmas party. I5 bil-ec tor guided 11 THE NUMEROUS STEPS of a difficult Algebra problem were carefully explained by our outstanding math department. Mrs. Marlea Hallman and Mr. Charles Minnich also kept informed on the latest research as revealed in the Math magazine. WITH CHALK lN HAND Mr, Ken McClurkin checks with Mr, Marvin Van Note, the solution to such higher math problems as shown on the board. These men instructed Math and Algebra at City Campus and sponsored the Science Club. A CONSULTATION! Armed with stethoscope, hypo needles, and hammer, the old horses skull is being well examined by Mr. C. M. Christianson, Biology and Zoology instructor, Mr. William Ulman, who teaches Biology and English l, Mr. Leo Kennedy, Chemistry teacher, and Mr. Paul Barrios, Biology teacher. l6 WHAT A GAME! The whole school turned out to view the varsity-faculty basketball game. Laughter and cheers greeted Mr. Quade, who here shoots tor two points, while Mr. McClurkin and Mr. Ahler watch anxiously. nu.

Bought by funds appropriated by the Cab- inet, the marquee advertised such events as the sale of ASB cards and Get Acquainted Dance. November brought the newly formed Traffic Safety Club and ASB suggestion boxes, which permitted students to express their opinions. In April Twirp Week re- versed the usual situation as girls carried books and opened doors for boys. CHECKING THE SCHOOL CAL- ENDAR, Co-commissioners of As- semblies Mary Lou McRoberts and Jim Milne scheduled the pep rallies and assemblies which ran smoothly under their guidance and helped build school spirit. HOW DOES IT LOOK? asked Terry Brennan and Jack Raymond as they placed another poster ad- vertising A.S.B. events. Dangling from ladders as they posted ban- ners was a very ordinary feat per- formed by the two Co-commission- ers of Publicity. I The National Assemblies featured the Negro spiritual Jubilee Singers, and, lending an Oriental note, Mr. No- Yong Park, who presented a humorous lecture on America, as seen through the eyes of the Far East. SELLING BIDS to the Christmas formal was jointly sponsored by the Girls and Boys Leagues, Presidents John Brown and Lois Becken ex- hibited the spirit of cooperation which existed between the two organizations. CE - 716461 PROUDLY RAISING THE VIC- TORY FLAG after another Cougar victory, Commissioner of Athletics Bob Johnson handled all the duties concerned with athletic awards, Bob always kept everyone laughing with his sparkling sense of humor.

Gary Mossman, Sergeant at Arms, was on hand to bring the offenders into the court.

IN A PLANNING THE BOYS LEAGUE ACTIVITIES for the year are Vice- Presdent Dale Forney, President .Iohn Brown, Secretary-Treasurer Dick Merriam, and Advisor Mr, West. The pressure of standards set in previous years demanded many such meetings for a successful season. DRIZZLING RAIN couIdn't quench the spirits of the boys who gathered wood in their pickups in preparation for the Oceanside bon- fire. After scouring the countryside for all sorts of odds and ends, the boys were rewarded when the enor- mous pile went up in flames. CROWDING CLOSER to get a better view, members of the Boys League obtain pointers from na- tionally rated Navy trackmen at a Boys League assembly held at Me- morial Field. This man to man talk resulted in valpiable tips for those who attended.

REFRESHMENTS CAME none too soon at the Candy Cane Ball, the Christmas formal sponsored by the Girls League, as was evidenced by the crowd at the refreshment table, AI- ways a highlight of the year's activi- ties, this formal exceeded expectations and remained forever an evening to remember. AN ENVIOUS SIGH escaped the lips of some 500 members of the Girls League as model Carolyn Billick dis- played the latest in bathing suit fash- ion. Held by the Girls League, the fashion show boasted an April Showers theme with appropriate dec- orations. PINNED UP HAIR, back- ward dresses and rolled down bobby sox appeared bright and early as the Girls' League Freshmen Initiation was under way at Memorial Field, Along toward Christmas the girls turned to a more sophisticated dress as they were escorted to the Girls' and Boys' League jointly sponsored Candy Cane Ball. Decorated in festive Dog- patch style, the gym became alive with Lil' Abners and Daisy Mae's at the capacity filled Sadie Hawkins Dance. Ohh's and ahh's sounded at the Fashion Show which con- cluded the formal program of the Girls' League. me-'mu 'P DEMOCRACY THROUGH REPRESENTA- TION, ogoin typified this yeor's Student Council.

Left to right are Jerry Collins, Bobbie Brirn, Barbara Baker, Head Cheerleader, Julianne La Frankie and Carol Coscarat. All juniors this year, these girls put much of their time and effort into the bettering of the school spirit ond sportsmanship. HEY, COUGARS, FIGHT, FlGHTll was the cry of the '55-'56 cheerleaders, including Bobbie Brim, Jerry Collins, Carol Coscarart, Julie La Frankie, and head cheerleader Bar- bara Baker.

With the growth of our school this year, our Bee teams were supported by their own Freshmen Cheerleaders. Those elected were Mel Adams, George Foley and Sylvia Cisneros. Koundleu ntluw Mm and Spirit WITH THEIR SPIRIT and enthusiasm these five girls often helped lead our teams on to victory. The songleaders faithfully attended all the games and contributed much of their time and energy to their school. Left to right are: Jackie German, Beverly Hurst, Gail Brooker, head songleoder, Callie Doherty, and Joan Farrell. PEPPY FRESHMAN CHEERLEADERS, Syl- via Cisneros, George Foley and Melvina Adams led many yells during the Bee basket- ball game. Their enthusiasm kept spirits high for the early arrivals who enjoyed many thrills by the fine Bee squad. THE FLASH OF WHITE GLOVES and the swish of pom pons characterized the rou- tines and spirit of this year's songleaders. Composed entire- ly of juniors, the group worked together with coordination which was the result of many practice sessions. Wearing their short black uniforms with boat neck sweaters and gathered skirts, they executed their precise routines. Head Songleader Gail Brooker, Jackie German, Callie Do- herty, Joan Farrell and Bev Hurst all deserve a big hand for helping to build up the spirit of the school. THE THREE ESCOHITES who were award- ed the ten-day trip to Girls and Boys State returned with an inspired desire to serve their school in the best way possible. The educa- tional experience in Sacramento was an honor to receive and a pleasure to attend. F anned PHYLLIS KNAPPE proudly shows her Girls State scrapbook to Neil Bristow, California Boys' State representative, and Tom Price, an Ohio Boys Stater. Dave Smith, who moved to Michigan, also represented Escondido at Boys State. ONE OF THE BUSIEST ORGANIZATIONS this year was the Traffic Safety Council. Under the active leadership of Chairman Leroy Latham, the group sponsored such events as the annual auto safety-check, a new car fashion show, a Teenage Road-E-O and a Court for traffic violators. READING THE CONSTITUTION of the new Traffic Safety Council are, Secretary Joan Ransome, Advisor Mr. Roy, and Sarah Ennis, Other members standing, are Leroy Latham, President, Steve Johnson, Don Cook, Bill Raney, Lois Starr, and Mary Ellen Roden. sf-femme-Q .4qew F'T a ' Pro mm COMMISSIONERS OF ASSEM- BLIES, Mary Lou McRoberts and Jim Milne, greet the Mississippi- ans, who represented the lst Na- tional assembly of the year. The quartet, specializing in Negro spirituals, held the audience spellbound, They will be remem- bered not only for presenting an hour of entertainment, but also for injecting a spiritual note to make their performance even more worthwhile. Hl . . . LONG TIME NO SEE, were the opening words of Dr, No-Yong Park as he began his authoritative lecture. The learned traveler pointed out the differences in customs, advan- tages, and culture of people in the near-East and people living in this country. The Second Na- tional Assembly was well received by all who attended.

Thus went the voting as floor chairman Larry Lester took a poll of the delegations. H54-55 ASB Prexy Ken Cook relayed the votes from the floor chairman to the official score keeper, until the final candidates had been chosen. THE l955 NOMINATION CONVENTION was under wayl Over 90 elected delegates filed into the roped-off section as the election officials began the proceedings. Candidates, accompanied by their campaign managers, hurriedly added last-minute touches to their posters adorning the walls, while excited spec- tators poured into the bleachers and balcony, awaiting the sound of President Ken Cook's gavel. As the convention progressed candidates made frequent trips to the snack bar to calm their nerves by eating The band provided lively music whenever the polling of the dele- gation was stopped so the final tallies could be made for each office Tension mounted as two final candidates were nominated for each office From that time until the students went to the polls the campaigning was conducted in earnest. Our election procedure has been considered so outstanding by other schools that Escohi has invited delegates from other schools to witness the affair this year. Oh.. A BIRDS-EYE VIEW of the ASB convention shows guest speaker Dr. Phil Putnam of Palo- mar College addressing the various class dele- gations as he presents his thoughts on de- mocracy in the schools. All candidates took an active part in campaigning, even before the final two were chosen for each office.

Sherry Martin and Sara Jane Crabbe hand out bal- lots to students ready to vote. WILL YOU REPEAT the report of the last dele- gation? Sherry Martin, Sue Redmond and Nancy Sue Wilson tabulate the highly contested votes. Their job was one where no small talk is allowed and no mistakes could be made as the girls keep the records ot the more than ninety voting delegates. POSTERS! Banners! Streamersl Valley Campus was humming with campaign activities. Nearly each brick and window supported a candidate eager to win his chosen office, The Campus again quieted as tired candidates and managers anxiously awaited a mere whispered word of the result of the balloting. THE FIERY PEP BAND sounded out, and all along the halls Escohites knew the convention was now un- der way. Ranging from the Star Spangled Banner to The Old Gray Mare, their spirited music sparked the convention proceedings and eased the tension that arose while votes were tabulated.

For the class of '56 this was the last act in a play full of successful scenes. As they slowly marched down the path toward their goal it gave them time to remem- ber their four years at E.U.H.S., and all the wonderful memories it provided. The Fresh- man year began in awe of the big building on the hill and all its mighty members. Boys polished the E and Girls learned to respect their superiors. As Sophs, they began to fit into the pattern of things and produced the prize-winning float, The Gong. As Juniors, their play Dear Ruth was exceptionally well presented, and again they built a winning float with the theme, Lord's Prayer. And finally as Seniors there was the Senior play, The Curious Savage, along with ditch day, baccalaureate, Junior-Senior prom, and now Graduation. So now as they reach the arch- way they have but time to realize that no matter what awaits them in their many chosen fields they shall always remember and treas- ure their four years at E.U.H.S.

Phyllis Knappe, Leroy Lathan, JoAnn Wilson, and Gene Garri- son try on their robes in antici- potion, Mrs. Deal explains the final step to be taken on that grand day. A PICTURE of the new Valley Campus and a Cougar head are only two of the features to adorn the senior announcements this year.

Q ,Q egg L. it 3 is L xv Tl-IE CLASS OF '57, working in close cooperation, enjoyed the most successful year ever at E.LJ.l-l.S. At the start ot the year the Juniors reversed tradition by taking tirst place in the home- coming parade. Their entry ot a discus and a javelin thrower, a trackman and a Greek maiden, was made more impressive with the release of homing pigeons. JUNIOR RINGS, the play, and choosing the color of next year's sen- ior sweaters, were all part of being a member of the Junior Class. Guiding the destinies of the class were Mr, Weissberg, at leftg Lois Starr, Treasurer, Mr. Fox, Rosalie Church, Secretary, Jack Anderson, President, Sue Brady, Vice Preisdent, and Mr. Randels. univl- Were Un the Way lljf I I I ' I I F Row'l left to right M Bianchi V Carey C Cauffman S Ashb B Castellanos R Beamer P Caldwell R Y er nnonJ oeaCBlik ii on r y a y ei rim Broo er Row C urch J B zzell M Bu ch M Bu kett J Campbell M Avery F Beed R Brown P Beck L Be y D Anderson R Bergquam B Clark D Agatep Row 3 B Blunt T Cadwallader D Close K Alexander J Burns B Burrows D Beloat G Bahen C Byork J, Anderson J, Baca P.

The varsity and J. V. football teams placed second in the league and E.U.H.S. fans felt assured of another promising year in sports. Our var- sity basketball squad, after a tough season, took second place in league standings and boasted of having the league-leading scorer. The Bees hustled into second place also, while the Cees and Dees were again undefeated champions of their respective classes. The Cougar mat men were handicapped by gradu- ation but managed to place third in their league. By midseason, the Cougar baseball team had won the Lions tourney, and thus for undefeated in league play, set its sights on the league crown. As the Gong went to press the tennis team had a perfect record and looked toward a league championship. The track squads were having a fair season and placed third in the Vista Relays. Several members of the squad had established league records. Relaxing from their many jobs are the men behind the athletic teams. Mr. Georges took time off from teaching English lll and IV, to coach wrestling. Mr, Ulman coached J.V. Baseball. Mr. Ahler, Vice- Principal at City Campus, found time to lead the varsity basket- ball team to a second-place fin- ish. Head of the Athletic De- partment, Mr. Duncan, coached the varsity baseball team. Mr. Embrey coached Bee football and track, while Mr, West led his varsity football team into the S. C, l. F. play - offs and coached Bee basketball. Coach- ing J.V. football, and assisting in track was the job of Mr. Barrios. For the second straight year, Mr. McClurkin led his Cee and Dee basketball teams to league championships, while his tennis team placed high in league standings, 72 ESCONDlDO'S ALL-AVO- CADO PLAYERS were, left to right: Ernie Liebman, Basket- ball, Phil Adams, Basketball, Gary Applegate, Basketball, Dale Forney, Basketball, Bob Johnson, Football, John Brown, Football, Larry Porter, Foot- ball.

AT THE BEGlNNlNG OF THE BEE GAME, a small but enthusiastic crowd was in evi- dence at the gym. As the game advanced, more and more fans gathered until, when the Varsity team came on the floor, they were greeted by the thunderous applause of a ca- pacity crowd. Led bv several All-League Selections, the Cougar Cagers netted second place again this year. Dale Forney, the League's Leading Scorerg and Cougar center Phil Adams, re- ceived positions on the All-Avocado League Squad. Forward Ernie Liebman was granted honorable mention. The season provided many thrills, with the Fallbrook and Oceanside games the most out- standing. With the Cougars still in the run- ning for the League Championship, they found themselves with a ten-point deficit at the end of the first half against Fallbrook. With renewed spirits the team played an out- standing second half and in the last moments pulled ahead. The final score was Escondido 65, Fallbrook 64. An excited crowd watched as the Cougars trounced the Oceanside Pirates by nineteen points. The game cinched second place for the Cougars and gave Dale Forney the Scoring Championship. Dale was elected Most Volu- able by his teammates, and the other Cougar guard and defensive standout, Jim Milne, was elected Captain. GARY APPLEGATE, tall Cougar forward, was out- jurnped by a Mar Vista forward. Although Gary was considered the team clown and usually left the crowds roaring with laughter, he was a valuable asset to the Cougars. He was always good for outstanding re- bounding, RAY RUGGLES shoots for two points during the Coronado game, Ray's hook shot was deadly, and usually there was no need for rebounding, although for safety's sake Gary Applegate, Ray Eastman, and Dale Forney were ready. The Cougars played hard, but were beaten by the powerful Islanders. 5-4-3-2-l, BUZZ-Z-Z-Z! at the end of the game we usually found our Bee team with another victory to its credit.

Outstanding athletes in their particular classes were Ron Smith, who went l2 feet in the pole vault, Ray Eastman, who clipped off the 440 in a time of 52.4, Tom Gosnell, who broadjumped 20 feet 7 inches, and Don Close, who breezed to an 880 win in 2:O6.6. Although the Cougars were not rated as a threat for the league crown, they soon proved differently as they disposed of a highly re- garded St. Augustine team by a score of 52-5l. With the league finals yet to be held, the Thinclads rated a better than average chance for the crown. Row'I left to ri ht' E Liebman B Thomas D Close D Forne I 9 ' ' I ' 1 ' I ' yi J. Pfeffer, B.

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS was one of the few organizations which dealt entirely with service activities. Near Christmas time, the girls collected dolls for the children ofthe Marines at Camp Pendleton and small battles in which the Marines might put paint. They also collected food and clothing for the needy families of Escondido. Miss Cook served the group as advisor.

Journalism students put out a Cougar every two weeks, including several special editions such as, the Polecat and a Senior Edition. Throughout the school year the Cougar editors and reporters kept a watchful eye for possible news stories that would be interest- ing to both the students and faculty. Mem- bers of the staff were assigned special 'beat slips' for each teacher so that any news- worthy event would not be overlooked. Assignment sheets, layouts and writeups kept editors rushing around to meet the deadlines which seemed to come all too soon. Outside activities for the staff included trips to San Diego and UCLA for their re- spective Journalism Days. Cougar Staff members will all agree that the success of the paper would not have been possible without the help and under- standing of their advisor, Mr. Wallace F. Gray.

Beginning last summer, Head Architect Tom Humphrey began to assemble ideas to draft a tentative dummy. Tom had eighteen subordinates, each with a specialized assign- ment. As soon as the new draftsmen had been oriented to such terms as Bleed off, gutter, and paste-up montage, they be- gan work on the blue print. Tom's dummy was taken apart section by section, page by page, and was discussed and approved by the whole staff. Before long, the final blue- print was complete. Then after theme and other details had been completed, the actual construction began and colors chosen. Laying the foundation was an important step, otherwise construction could not have been started. So late in the fall, the section editors and photographers began schedul- ing and taking pictures. Sometimes ma- terial was scarce and other priorities inter- fered, but after much hurry and worry, the last picture was taken and the main struc- ture was completed. Then writeups began pouring in. They were proofread, typed, and finally were ready for the printer. After many long months of planning and building, the GONG was finished and in June it was open for inspection. Your staff hopes you like it. 04? .qi V1 Q W 'il SNIP-SNIP, Tom's at it againl Cutting pictures to the exact size was just one of the many jobs of Tom Humphrey as Editor.

In February, the girls had a combination initiation, installation of officers, and party fcelebrating the 3lst birthday of the F.H.A.l, the freshman homemakers were transported to Valley Campus as guests. Their service activities included the mend- ing of football uniforms and the Victory flag. Also the girls collected cancelled stamps for the Gold Star Mothers and Christ- mas cards for the hospital. Many girls or- dered Betty Crocker cook books at the spe- cial school price. Many Escondidans were surprised to hear the voices of our F.H.A.ers broadcast over KFSD on Howard Keddies Home on the Range program. In the fall an article and picture of the club appeared in the Cali- fornia Nuggets, then in January another article and picture was featured in Teen Times. The highlight of the year was the F.H.A.'s section XII Spring Convention in Fallbrook, which was well attended by Escondido mem- bers.

EVENING MEETlNGS, field trips and a science fair were some ot the activities ot this year's science club. During the evening meetings and on Sat- urdays, members worked hard planning and working on their projects for the Science Fair. ln the spring they sponsored the annual local Science Fair, and several weeks later or cut the lights, are typical phrases which might have been heard backstage during as- semblies and plays. The audio visual club, under the direction at Mr. Mirise, was kept busy running equipment during school on and oft campus, at parades, ball games and meetings ot Kiwanis, Girl Scouts, Rotary, etc. As an extra service to the school, members distributed, serviced and returned to the li- brary, all audio visual equipment.

Lee Berry, one ot the Science Club members, took tirst place in the local physical science division, and first place in geology in the San Diego Fair. The group also took a tield trip to the observatory ot Mr. Clarence Friend, a noted local astronomer. LATE HOURS found many stu- dents laboring over their science projects, preparing them for the local Science Fair. First-place awards in the Senior Division went for Physical Science to Lee Berry for his Seismograph, and in Biological Science to Kath- leen MacGowen for her display of Zoological Lab Techniques. Several of our local winners entered the San Diego County Science Fair, There, Lee Berry took a first-place in Geology and 1 a second-place in the Sweepstakes Division, a high honor indeed for both Don and E.U.H.S.

This has really got to sound right. Yes, Mr. Krasic, E.U. H.S.'s band director, was one for musical perfection as well as clever arrangements. Because of this, invitations to perform came in all year. The band appeared at every game to pep up the cold but eager specta- tors, and through the school year it appeared in many parades and programs. As far as bringing in honors, the band received a su- perior rating from the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association, and the Regional Festival of the California School Band and Orchestra Association in Fullerton. One of its greatest honors was to be asked to play for the USC-Notre Dame game. Other activities included the Maytime Band Review, the Shrine, Boy Scouts, and Valley Riders parades, and with the Chorus in the Christmas program, the Spring concert, and the American Legion Veterans Day program. Aside from playing, the band members took a well deserved trip to Disneyland after a festival. An all-out campaign was also waged by the enthusiastic members to buy needed uniforms. Money was raised by sell- ing bulbs, subscriptions to magazines and a rummage sale. l-lere's to the band!

The freshmen girls were invited to polish trophies under the supervision of the senior girls and were also guests at the Big Sister and Little Sister Tea. Frosh girls also had the opportunity to wear their dresses backward and their hair in pin curls during the special period set aside for initiation activities. During this time the frosh boys had an equal opportunity to shine shoes which were generously supplied by the senior boys. The emphasis on initiation, again this year, was one of good clean fun where the freshman greenies eagerly joined into the games and got acquainted with many of their upperclassmen. Pin curls, lipstick on the nose and toothpaste smiles seem to be the out- standing characteristic of these Fresh- man girls as they bow to two Seniors.

THE NIGHT OF THE O-C GAME was clear and cold and there was excitement in the air as the fans crowded into the stands. The Avocado League Championship was at stake and both teams wanted very much to win. A rousing cheer from the green and white indicated the Pirates were on the move. A spirited song from the Cougar side told us ATTENDANTS THIS YEAR were Freshmen Don McCloud and Bonnie Sering, Sophomores Jim Berg- quam and Shirley Hartley, Juniors Wayne Murray and .vig the boys in orange and black had the ball. Both teams tougnt valiantly to gain that much-needed yardage as the clock ticked on. It was a see-saw battle all the way, with Oceanside coming out on top with an I8-I3 score.

Oscar, the model in the Biology lab, was an interest- ing specimen to all those students taking the course.

Every time girls of the lifesaving class go swimming, they will remember this phrase. These classes learned the techniques of giving artificial res- piration instead of merely how to swim, Just to look at the water in the early morning made the girls turn blue with cold, but then, after they got in and it was all over, most of them said they had enjoyed it. SOMEONE BREAK SOME MORE TILES. Bring me some more glue. These phrases were heard frequently in the Art room while the third-year students were making tile-top tables. Imagination, character and beauty could be seen in these tables that the students designed and made by breoking the tile, re- assembling them in mosaic and cement. Much time and patience were required before the tables were finished. l36 q 14 Acc ?1t'on l'LL TAKE A 1-ll, PLEASE. The snack bar was open every noon hour and was the source of all the popsicles and candy bars that were devoured by students during the lunch periods.

These were only a few of the prob- lems that made up this year's Back Stage Revue. Led by Terry Perry, Master of Ceremonies, the group worked along together, overlooked these problems, and came up with one of the finest presentations ever given by Cougar talent. Dances, Songs, Skits, and Jokes, all helped to round out the show for the enjoy- ment of the audience. SCREECHI Well, maybe my brakes are a little rusty, but my horn works fine. Such were the re- marks that accompanied the chosen group of Junior and Senior boys who, with the help of Officer Jack Hewlitt, checked the students' cars as they came up the line.

This year also the Drama group presented an excellent tableau, featuring the well-loved story of the Birth of Christ. No exception, this year's program, as always, was very impressive. Does your horn work? How about your lights? Many students and teachers took advantage of the Traffic Check sponsored by the Traffic Safety Club and received their sticker proving it, The Traffic Club was a new organization this year and proved very helpful as it impressed on the minds of stu- dents the need for safer driving, B sQr .W , D 41+ ..

Escohites waited anxiously for each dance and turned out in throngs for the many presented. The Get-Acquainted dance sported a football theme and served as a big kickoff for an eventful year to follow. Later, huge candy canes decorated the halls as the Girls' and Boys' Leagues held the first formal of the year, The Candy Cane Ball. With stars in their eyes Escohites danced to the strains of the Nocturnes at the Silver Star Ball presented by the Y-Teens in February. A goat with a string of flowers around his neck highlighted the annual Sadie Hawkins as he romped among the dancers and seemed to have as much fun as any of them. Late spring brought the Junior-Senior Prom and graduates enjoyed their last evening of dancing as students at EUHS. Many sock hops and dressy sport dances sponsored by Classes and Clubs round- ed out the year of social activities.

Ili ,niii Q47 The tired old walls and corridors of the castle on the hill went down, leaving behind them a myriad of memories. After serving its duty as a second home for twenty-nine years, our old school on the hill took its last gasp and glance over our rich and developing Escondido Valley, gave a sigh and disappeared into piles of used bricks, wrought iron, construction ce- ment, broken glass, separated hardwood flooring and clouds of dust, thus taking its place in the past and stepping aside for the heavy, grinding, and definite pace of the wheels of progress. Leaving the Old School on the Hill, we graduated toward a new, up-to- date, and functional plant brought by the foresight and planning of a dili- gent and openminded school board. This new plant provided many more opportunities and afforded a higher standard of education vitally needed in this modern age. ?I'0m the fditor Am l going crazy? frantically asked Editor Tom Humphrey as, after long months of full concentration on the Gong, the mud- dled vision of disarranged pictures spun through his head. lt's no small wonder, though, because the responsibilities and wor- ries of the annual rested almost entirely on his shoulders. Combining the functions of chief picture- cropper, slave-driver, midnight-oil-burner, and chief paste-up artist, Tom worked dili- gently toward the pressing picture and write- up deadlines in order that you would receive your annual on time.
