SCENE IV-TAKE I OUR PRINCIPAL The foothills we have conquered, And the mountains scaled at lastg We turn a moment from the future, And look backwards to the past. To the friend who Walked beside us When the friends We found were fewg Who gently helped and guided us And strived to make this day come true. The easy smile Familiar walk The restless vigil And merry talk. How long we shall remember, When the years keep us apart, The man who smiled and gently knocked, Then stepped into each' heart. fVirginia Whitsonj DEDICATIO To Mr. Lloyd W. VValler, because We are the first class to have been guided by him during all four years of our high school life and because We appreciate his constant helpfulness . . .

It was decided that the Freshmen would take charge of the magazine drive. The council started a school-wide campus clean-up drive under the supervision of Jackie Cox, Commissioner of Campus and Health, and her committee. The Freshman class held their elections and organized themselves. Sue Butcher, ASB secretary, took care of all minutes and correspondence while Mike Zuetell was in charge of finances.

As a result, Dick Craig missed some of the council meetings, giving ASB Vice President, Tony Brubaker, a chance to wield the gavel for him. Micohi's after-the-game dances were regular occur- rences and assemblies, arranged by Dick Burroughs, Commissioner of Entertainment, became bigger and better than before. Mira Costa began sending an exchange group to other Pioneer League high schools. .Jijllkie COX joe Flores Commzsszoner af Campus Boys' Intramural Director 13 Dick Burroughs 'ner of Entertainment Jim Arney President Bob Keller Vice-President The second semester found Jim Arney at the helm as ASB President and Bob Keller as Vice President. Madge Finley was elected as secretary and Tony Leon as treasurer. Dick Burroughs was re-elected as Commissioner of Entertainment and was also elected vice president of the Cali- fornia Association of Student Councils Section 16 for the 1954-55 year. Micohi played host to the Pioneer League Forum in April under the supervision of President Arney. Senior activities moved to the foreground. Intramural sports were resumed. Ken Avery, Commissioner of Campus and Health, repeated the plea to Keep the Campus Clean. Micohi presented its first operetta, The Miracle of San Isidro. Parking lot improvements were made and a driver education program instituted.. Con- struction of the new music hall and an athletic field was begun.

Mira Costa's exchange assembly group continued its tours, developing better relationships with other schools as they went. In the midst of all this, Micohi became the proud possessor of the coveted Pioneer League Sportsmanship Trophy, and the Tom Harmon All Sports Trophy. The month of May brought many forums, league conven- tions, and new activities to the student body. The Coronation Ball was inaugurated and well attended. The Seniors made final plans for their graduation in June. Visitors from other schools were frequent and counselors from various colleges and universities were often on campus to speak with various student groups. Ancl then, in the midst of the whirl of events came exams, followed by the actual day when part of the student body left, making room for more to come, work, study and learn to respect and love their Alma Mater. s w Sally Small Girls' Inlramural Direc 9, gl isgaims Dick Burroughs Ken Avery x ew e J'ohgfFoo ey! r of Entertainment C'ommi:sioner of Campus Boys' Inlramur fbireetor 15 l'0I L N I tiff?

Led by President Dick Bihee and his board members, the students of Mira Costa have again enjoyed many memorable events sponsored by the League. Most prominent are the ness Varsity Sweetheart Dance hono ing and the annual Father-S athletes I' 0 fl sms me girl who reigns as sweetheart, honoring the outstanding and their fathers. Selling Booster Buttons Varsity Dance 17 GIRL ' Girls' Court proceedings were held dur- ing fourth period every Tuesday this past year. Participants, including Judge Sarah Fairley and nine jurors, are elected each semester on the student body ballot. The members of Girls' Court the past year would like to thank those girls who accepted their criticisms graciously and made sincere attempts to correct their faults. Throughout the second semester, the girls on the court were successful in ridding the proceedings of the usual for- mality by replacing it with simplicity and attempting to make it more or less a con- ference with the individual girls sum- moned to court. Each girl on the court strives to better the conduct and appearance of every girl at Mira Costa, and make strong attempts to display appreciation to every member of the girls' league whose interests com- ply with the court's wishes to uphold the high standards deserving to Mira Costa.

The boys have found that better results are obtained from informal discussions held by the Council. Violators of school rules and regulations are called into the sessions of discussion.

Editor-in-Chiff Advisor Since school began in September, the Hoofprints Staff has been working tirelessly compiling the necessary material to be lished within the covers of the bigger and better Hoofprints of 1954.

This assembly was especially enjoyed by the fashion-minded misses of Micohi, Shown in the above picture is the combined Marine Band from Camp Pendleton. It appeared during the year and presented a fine program. Featured with the band was a member of the Women Marines. Above is Mary Glenn Heilmann, President of the Girls' League, who presided over the meetings this year. Many new amendments were added to the constitution at these meetings. Shown above is an example of the excellent Boys' League assemblies held this year. The Sparling School of Diving, represented by the speaker, Mr. E. K. Cross, gave an interesting ac- count of diving and also was considerate enough to answer many questions regarding diving. Another of the assemblies considered the most enjoyable during the year by the boys of Micohi, was Wrestling Revelations with the famous Bert- rand Shurtleff as speaker. All of the boys were entertained by the witty and well phrased answers to some of the questions which have arisen in connection with wrestling. All the boys of Mira Costa well remembers the occasion on which the auditorium was converted into a foreign car showroom. Each boy had the opportunity to view and learn about the specifica- tlons of each car. 42 All the students at Mira Costa enjoyed the wonderful harmony that was part of The Royal Guard's song program. The assembly was soon rocking with laughter as the Guards began their take-off on Oh Happy Day liberally sprinkled with bebop jokes.

A new type of club among high schools was introduced at Mira Costa this year by club president, Louis Mara- onna, and faculty sponsor, Mr. Ray Knight. The club was appropriately entitled 'lRecord Roundup. The roundup consists of a panel of guests and the mod- rator. Secretaries for the year were Eleanor Carr and Jo Ann Blackman. Scrapbook chairman was Joy Erbar, and he announcer was Jerry Johnston. The club presented its program to the students at noon in classrooms until the enthusiasm grew so greatly that t was moved into the library and then into the gymatorium. It finally became a broadcast activity of VOMC. A few assemblies were given, one of which featured a guest appearance by popular radio disc jockey, Bill Stewart. a result of this program, Bill Stewart invited six Mira Costans lfaculty and studentsl to judge newly released records his KMPC radio show. The agenda of the record reviews each week consists of the presentation of a record by a contestant and judging the panel. The weekly winner receives a free record from the Hermosa Music Center.

All of the boys were entertained by the witty and well phrased answers to some of the questions which have arisen in connection with wrestling.

This event, one of the largest breakfast efforts in the Bay Area, is always well attended. Serving of tomato juice, pancakes, bacon and coffee began at 7:00 and continued until 11:00 o'clock. The behind-the-scene cooks and waitresses, students and faculty members of Mira Costa, worked long hours preparing for the occasion. They felt well re- warded, however, when they saw so many neighbors and friends of the community congregate to enjoy the companionship and good food. Principal Lloyd Waller extended invitations to everyone from baby to grand- pa and found that they accepted graciously. The entire proceeds of the breakfast went into the student body fund of Mira Costa to benefit all the students of the school. Much of the food was donated by Clark's Market in Manhattan Beach. 48 m I MADE On the twenty-third and twenty-fourth of April, 1954, The of San Isidro was staged in the lX'Iira Costa gyma- The entire operetta was written by a member of the of '54, Edniundo Najera. rl he Cast included a chorus of two hundred students undci direction of lVIary Louise Bowler, and the orchestra under commendable direction of lvlr.

Proceeds from the game were set aside for a barbecue pit. which will be buit on the MC campus sometime in the future. 51 Any person having plants or moss to donate to Nlira Costa, please bring it to the gym was the urgent plea sent out by llllr. Eckert, agriculture teacher at the school. Soon after the pleas was made, the boys' gym classes were hard at work planting shrubs and plants on the slopes of the new football bowl. The project in due time will add to the beauty of the new bowl here on campus, besides being a pleasant experience for the boys. Appreciation is expressed to the citizens of the com- munity who brought the plants and to the boys who did the planting. Glenda Goodwin and Jobie Lahey dance away to the Latin rhythm.

The entire script for On Stage was written by Anita Deeter, Ed Najera, and D'Ann Brown. The theme for the show, sponsored by the Thalians and Footlighters, was a rehearsal for a benefit show, taking place in a downtown Los Angeles theatre. The director of the benefit show was Terry Smith, always accompanied by his girl Friday, Ann Bishop. One of the outstanding features of the first act was the song Nothing Like a Dame rendered by Tony Brubaker, Tony Leon, Tom Storm, and Ed Najera. Many dance sequences such as 'lMe und My Shadow, I'll See You Again, with Claire Cherney performing acrobatic accompani- ment, appeared in the first act. Leave It to Jane featuring the popular dancing sextette of Louis Broussard, Michele Lafon, Evelyn Mc- Kenna, Pat O'Reilly, and Jobie Lahey closed the first act. The second act featured Bonnie Scalley dis- playing her singing ability in the popular tune of the day Stranger in Paradise. Another en- joyable piece I Don't Care was done very cap- ably by Vicki Franklin. The extra spice to the second act was added by the Charleston done by a well known group of girls.

The mothers, fathers, friends and neighbors of Nlicohi students turned out to view and air their varied tastes and opinions of the many intings. A large number of people were interested in the greater number of modern paintings found on display this year. When the final ballots were tallied, the seniors had unanimously chosen the painting 'l0il River by John Bernat. The seniors also decided - purchase the painting California Street by Caesar Hernandez. They felt that the school would treasure and enjoy their choices.

Many girls modeled the clothes they had made this year to the accompaniment of soft music provided by the music department. After the show, many stayed to view the art exhibit and discuss the paint- ings on display. The tea offered the girls an opportunity to introduce their mothers to their friends, teachers and to the feminine proceedings at Nlira Costa. fit r I ff . Qi .

In Mira Costals short four-year history the physical education department has developed to a point where some sport is in progress at all times during the year. The first competition each year is football. This year's fotball campaign was as brilliant as in previous years. Micohi met 9 opponents, defeating six and bowing only to three. Two of the losses were recorded in practice games and only one in league play. In the first practice game the Mustangs met a powerful Santa Monica eleven and tasted the first defeat of the season. Next came Baldwin Park and Mira Costa won its first victory of the year, then followed by winning another from Beverly Hills and dropping a close one to Mark Keppel. Then they played the ones that counted.

Following Morningside came the important meeting with Hawthorne, and Micohi received its only league blemish, los- ing by a score of 26-7 and eliminating them- selves from winning a second league cham- pionship. But this didn't dampen the spirit of the Mustaligs for they went on to trample he next two opponents, Bellflower and Cul- ver City by scores of 26-6 and 26-13.

The team, coached by Mr. Gerald Thompson, was made up of Tony Arce, Rudy Arce, Angel Arce, George Cantrell, jim Cantrell, Elroy Lang and Ken Doig. Tony Arce was named outstanding athlete in golf at Mira Costa for 1954. The Mira Costa golfers were able to win five meets while only losing three. The team tied with El Segundo for second place in the Pioneer League, and contributed three points toward the winning of the Tom Harmon Trophy. Since five members of the present team will return to the greens next year, Coach Thompson sees the making of a much improved team, difficult to beat. In league competition a nine hole course is used. The six members of a team are paired off with the opposing team. The person in each pair using the least amount of putts wins the hole. The total holes won are tallied to arrive at the scores for the meet. lVIira liiira Mira Mira Mira llflira lVIira Mira Costa Costa Costa Costa Costa Costa Costa Costa El Segundo llflorningside Hawthorne Culver City El Segundo :Morningside Hawthorne Culver City ........ 26 Back row-George Cantrell, Ken Doig, Elroy Lang, Gary Fausel, Mr. Thompson.

One week after the roar of the last touchdown in football subsided, thirty-three wrestling enthusiasts reported to the mats on the gym stage for practice under Coach Brigham in preparation for the third season here at Mira Costa. The grapplers, supported by many returning lettermen and sporting new green and gold uniforms, met their first opponents on January 8th when they subdued Hawthorne by ag wide margin. Encouraged by the initial victory the varsity went on to win four of their seven encounters. The junior varsity showing much improvement were able to sack three victories during the season. Captained by Ed Plaza, the matmen earned a place in the C.l.F. finals with their successes at the Regional Meet held in Whittier on February 27. At the C.l.F. finals held in Redondo Beach this year Bill Said took the championship in the 95-pound weight class and Dewey Weber, at 103 pounds, took second place. ln May Bill Said was again honored by being named the outstanding athlete in wrestling on the Mira Costa campus. Kim Grua, according to Coach Brigham, showed the most improvement during the season. Scores for the nine meets during the season are given below. Five points are earned when a wrestler pins his opponent, five points if he wins by default, three points for a victory by decision, and in the case of a tie each team gets two points. The points of the matches are tallied to arrive at the score for the meet.

I ' . ei . . In ll I 82 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY We the Seniors of 54 are proud of the memories that are associated with our four years of school at Micohi. Together we have watched Nlira Costa grow from a brand new school to a modern achievement and a credit to the South Bay During this growing process we ve had the opportunity to become better acquainted with the faculty and administrators not only as teachers but as friends also, As the first class to complete four years at lVlira Costa, we've participated in the new era of lVlodern Jazz We've also had the privilege of coming in closer relationships with our worthy successors and friends the lower classmen, it has made our class outstanding and has benefited the entire sc oo As we look back at the events which occurred through the years, probably the most thrilling and important was our first student body card This card became our key to the door of high school life. lt gave us the right to elect those whom we thought were capable of setting up rules to govern the student body. True, our first attempts at or- ganizing good club dances and events seemed futile at first: however, with that drive to have the best we worked hard to make successful the accepted traditions of 1954. Of course, we all enjoyed our sophomore year which brought many new clubs into being and honored Libby Wik- off as Varsity Sweetheart for 1952. Our junior year was one of the best, with many honors bestowed upon us for excellence in sports, dramatics, and music. Our junior play was the biggest highlight of the year. Certainly everyone remembers the Community Breakfast, how hard we worked and how well rewarded we were. Then before we had the chance to feel too exalted as the upper-classmen, our senior year was almost over. It seemed everyone was striving for the perfect last record, and the class of '54 could almost always be found in the library clipping desperately from newspapers in order to complete a unit in Senior Problems. lVlany talented students were given the spotlight in 1954. Edmundo Najera's operetta was lauded proudly by every Mira Costan. Libby Wikoff and Dick Craig copped honors for the King and Queen of the first Coronation Ball, while smiling Jeri Leggett was elected Varsity Sweetheart of 1954. The Junior-Senior Prom became a reality, and the long hours in- volvecl in producing the senior play were forgotten in the welcome of the applause. Then the teas and banquets were over and the Senior Ditch Day had settled itself among our many other memories. And now graduation is before us and we all near our goals, but we all take a moment to salute Nlira Costa, our Alma Mater always, its teachers and students for these-the happiest years of our lives.

A few final exam papers fluttered aimlessly across the quad and finally came to rest against the dark wall of the cafeteria. A faint melancholy tune floated from V.O.lXI.C. and melted into the quiet of the evening. In the hall the ghostly voices of the Seniors of '54 once again echoed with for- gotten laughter against the solemn walls. Friends destined never to meet again once more called gaily to each other over the hollow bang of empty lockers where the familiar books and debris of school life no longer lay scattered. The air was filled with the hurried tread of feet. It was June, not an ordinary June, but new, excit- ing, and a little sentimental. For the class of '54 was to pass from these halls forever. The empty chairs in the library were left in the traditional disorder as though their owne1's had just gone. On a table a dictionary lay opened and a much-used magazine lay like a forgotten toy upon the floor. The only sound in the room was the incessant click of the clock as it jumped from minute to minute. There in the quiet library the memory of those first years of high school lingered forever with the smell of familiar books. The incomparable memory of frightened freshmen, clinging tightly to the new textbooks and locker combinations, sophomores who grew wiser day by day, and of class-conscious juniors who made the magic of Starlight, Starbrightu come true stamped itself permanently into each fibre of the room. In the blue quiet of evening the auditorium sat like a monstrous shrine, ominous and still. Inside, the eerie whirr of silence pressed with desolate loneliness into every corner. The folding chairs made strange forms in the semi-darkness. Then the room seemed to come alive again with the traditional Varsity Sweetheart Dance and Jeri Leggitt's smile still seemed to remain there in the center of a huge heart, the heart of the school. Once more the solemn procession of the Coronation Ball Court began its slow march to the stage, with Libby Wikoff and Dick Craig leading as befitting a king and queen. The soft, lonely themes of the many dances at hriira Costa seemed to blend, then be born again into the first clear, exciting notes of The lVIiracle of San Isidro which was a miracle created by Edmundo Najera. It seemed the notes from every score ever presented in the auditorium rose like a haunting, pulsing rhap- sody and filled the room with sound then faded softly back into the empty silence. The few stumbled lines from You Can't Take It VVith You, and the senior assembly seemed to drift out of the distance and glowed under the colored stage lights, then melted back into the past. Silence conquered and reigned king in the dark auditorium. Over the field a grey gull circled, uttering its lost, tormented cry that floated away with the breeze far into the sky. The phantom figures of boys on the field rose and once more enacted the struggle and victory of athletics. The grass bent and died willingly beneath their eager steps. The crowd was once more screaming, up on its feet screaming, pulling with its Alma Nlater, and screaming for the victory that was llflira Costa's. Then with a gust of breeze it was gone, leaving only a deserted field and a lone gull, circling, crying. The breeze murmured softly across the dark quad, lifted the exam papers and carried them down the driveway littered with crumpled appointment slips, past the tennis courts, and into the street. They lay still for a moment before the breeze lifted them once again and carried them out of sight. In the halls of lVIira Costa High School, the last hollow footsteps of the class of '54 lingered for an instant then quietly died away. l l I l ll to rj Earl Weil, Treasurerg Jim Filson, Secretaryg Don Askew, 0 Vice Presitlentg Floyd Andrus, President. 3.1 JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Juniors, are extremely proud of our record of many accomplishments here at Mira Costa. have worked very hard to make our class outstanding in every respect, and we find the rewards more th . satisfying. Certainly, we will miss our friends who will graduate in June, but we are well prepared for the duties a high standards that need to be maintained as the Seniors of 1955. Many of us were surprised at the wonderful enthusiasm expressed by our teachers, parents, and friends at first real attempt at dramatics. Many students of our class were found to be harboring a lot of talent a dramatic ability. From our Junior Play we received sufficient proceeds to sponsor the annual Junior Prom, honoring departing friends, the Class of '54. True to our tradition of unerring perfection the Prom was a tremend success and will long be remembered by all who attended. One of our outstanding juniors, Dick Burroughs, was elected Vice President of the California Associat' of Student Councils, District 16. One of our most exciting events of the year was our Junior picnic wh was held at Brookside Park in Pasadena. One of the biggest sports events of the year was our breathtaking basketball game featuring the Jun girls against the Senior girls. After the gruelling game was over, we were victorious with the score 13- The close score made it a game to be remembered always by spectators as well as participants. Yes, we have a lot of which to be proud. With that pride and ambition we accept gratefully the challe presented to us as the Senior Class of '55. We thank the teachers and students of Mira Costa for mak our Junior year one that shall be long remembered. ln return for their confidence and understanding, we sl strive to make the Class of '55 a good example and a credit to Mira Costa, 4 ' 512 ' Our first big money-making prcjeot, the Junior Play, was produced after many long hours of wo Aabel, T.

SOPHOIVIORE CLASS HISTORY We, the Sophomore Class, look back now and realize that we have reached the half-way mark in our secondary education and that ose first two years of adjustment are over. We have worked hard to maintain the high standards and fine traditions at Nlira Costa. We've joyed being an active part of high school life and hope we have set a good example for the next sophomore class. Many students of our class of '56 have excelled in many different fields. We are proud of those representing our class on the field, on e stage, or in ofifce. They are the ones who make the path easier and the eventual goal worthwhile. Most of all, we look forward to our junior year and the opportunity to bring to light our ability and worthiness to represent our school. We thank the upper-classmen for their encouragement and guidance which helped us to do a better job. We realize that it is the close amwork of every class working as one that makes a good school. We are proud of lVlira Costa and consider ourselves honored to be part its upper classes next year. ack Row-Nick Dugan, Arnold Langley, Jim Mosley, Carl Deliow, Charles Reynolds.

FRESH IVIAN CLASS HISTORY the Freshmen of Mira Costa, have completed the first and most difficult year of high school. The way has been rough with the unac- responsibilities of a new school life. We are proud and satisfied to have been able to adjust ourselves quickly to the numerous prob- arose in the beginning of our quest for higher learning. gratefully we acknowledge our teachers and counselors who devoted much of their time to our problems and welfare. We have enjoyed year, despite its handicaps. The wonders of new classes, and the opportunity to join those clubs which gave us a chance to meet wit interests, made the year pass swiftly. most achievement was the sale of 535 subscriptions sold during our annual magazine drive which, for the first time, was Freshman class. The drive dropped 5702.02 into the coffers of the student body fund, a total never before tallied. comemndatnons go to Carol Wigger, Claudia Rhind, and Nlilton Gregory for winning first, second and third prize respectively for subscriptions solicited. Credit also goes to lVlr. Donadio and all the teachers of Freshman Problems classes for their guidance and efforts. look forward to our Sophomore year as another step in our steady advancement. We appreciate the friendly consideration and encour- passed on to us by the upper-classmen as it serves to increase our desire to make lVlira Costa's campus an example of friendliness and among students and staff members.
