Come Alive 25! Second Time Around On September 10, 1956, two thousand, six hundred and twenty-two students began the long trek along the Pathway to Excellence and Integrity as Robert A. Milljkan High School opened its doors for the first time. A dream had been realized; where once there had been nothing but bean fields stood a fine educational institution. Established as the fifth school in the Long Beach Unified School Dis- trict, Millikan met the needs of the G.I. Bill fathers who succumbed to the lure of climate and the aerospace industry. The concerns of Millikan ' s first students were considerably different from those of their successors. They busied themselves with deciding the school colors (blue ' n gold), nam- ing their mascots, (Robbie Millie) organizing the formals for the Aries and the Corydon, and choosing their first Snow Queen for the Christ- mas season. Ram Hi spint was founded that year as football, baseball and basketball all went to CIF. And fashions in ' 56 ranged from wool skirts and sweaters to letterman jackets to bobby SOX. A lot of changes took place in those twenty- five years. 1980 heard students speaking of Reagan instead of Ike Eisenhower, of nuclear power rather than H-bombs, and of Secret Admirers as opposed to Snow Queens. But some things never change. Millikan High con- tinued its tradition of excellence and leadership In academics, sports, music, faculty and activi- ties. Wool skirts and sweaters, lettermen jack- ets and bobby sox were seen on campus once more. Although Millikan ' s silver anniversary saw it ' s ' 71 baby boom enrollment of 4200 shrink to 2580, there was no shrinkage in the Ram Hi spirit founded back in ' 56.
