Even before school opened, the Mighty Oiler Band could be found hard at work preparing for another active year. Under the superb direction of Band Director Mr. Lawrence Covellone the MOB began another rigorous year by hosting the Montebello Royale Parade on October 9. They entered numerous competitions including the Artesia Parade on the same day, the Rowland Heights Parade on October 30, and the Chino Band Review held November 6. Accompanying the MOB were the Rigette Drill Team, Tall Flags, Rifle Squad, Bannerettes, and the Color Guard. As proud host of the Montebello Royale Pa- rade, the MOB was ineligible to compete, yet they still scored 90.6 out of a possible 100 points. Although we were not in the competition, we still had the highest score, commented a proud Mr. Covellone. The MOB showed hard work and dedication to produce outstanding half time shows and award winning parade performances. Whether they were attending classes, practicing, competing on the street, or just hanging around the school campus, the MOB exhibited spirit and pride for who they are and what they represent. The MOB maintained its reputation for superior showman- ship and award winning talent. 48 MOB .1 i :« S!l Concert Band and Pep Band Concert Band.

Norma Macias and Marlene Wackeen perform at the Holiday Concert. MHS drama classes had twenty-two students under the instruction of Miss Susan Shaw. Drama 1-2 was open to any student, but the more advanced Drama 3-4 required students to have prior approval for enroll- ment. Selection of the drama performances depended on the number of students in the class and their ability and interest levels. The drama students were unable to present their semester play this school year. Due to complications beyond our control, ' Our Town ' was called off, stated Miss Shaw. These drama students met during sixth period each day to learn var- ious aspects of the art or to rehearse for an upcoming performance. When they were not spending time memorizing scripts, the performers studied the elements of drama. They learned to write their own scripts, for plays and had opportunities to direct and to act out the scenes. With the use of video taping equipment, the students were able to record presentations of the shows they wrote themselves. There were also class sessions of acting exercises (charades) and lessons in using stage make-up. Drama students assisted in the production of the musical comedy Snoopy , presented April 28 and 29. Presented by the MHS choirs, it starred Rene Rodriguez as Snoopy, Osvaldo Romero as Charlie Brown, Ana Macias as Lucy, and Lisa Hamutoff as Woodstock. Concluding the list of characters were Minnie Atilano as Sally, Heidi Gilston as Pepper- mint Patty, and Gary Castro as Linus. Preparing for such a production required nearly four months of careful planning and rehearsing. The students had to find, make, or in some cases, rent costumes for the cast members. Profits collected from previous shows sometimes financed the costs of new costumes or props. The Holiday Concert was presented by the MHS choirs on December 15. The Oiler Chorus, Golden Keys, A Cappella Choir, and Hi Tones wished everyone Seasons Greetings with a memorable concert depict- ing the many ways people around the world celebrate the holidays. Accompanied by the Concert Band, the choirs presented both the Annual Spring Concert, and the Annual Pops Concert, which gave the choirs the chance to perform popular music. Drama Other Performances 1 L. Gymantics, an annual variety show, featured unique perfor- mances by talented MHS students. Teachers from the girls ' P.E. department donated their time to organize a program designed to give students an opportunity to perform in front of an audience. Any girl who could sing, dance, or possessed any skills in the per- forming arts was welcome to audition for the show. The selected performers then rehearsed diligently for three weeks in hopes of perfecting their routines. To help publicize the event, each girl was required to sell fifteen tickets at $1.50 per ticket. This display of talent on December 10, included solo as well as group performances. The Gymantics participants cast votes for their favorite acts. Senior Heidi Gilston earned the most popular soloist title with her version of I am a dancer while the Rigette Drill Team won the best group performance with their routine to Freeze Frame. Terry Rodriguez who sold the most tickets, 22, was rewarded with a record album of her choice. The show yielded $600 which helped to finance the Gymantics Scholarships awarded in March. The only requirements for scholar- ship applicants were that they had to be going to college and that they had to have performed in Gymantics at least once. Gilston who has performed in Gymantics for three years remarked, It gave us a chance to work with other people and groups. It ' s a lot of hard work, but it pays off in the end because of the gratification of the people who come to watch us perform. In order to perfect their routines, the Modern Dance Club mem- bers practiced every day with vigor and enthusiasm. Their exqui- site routines, created by the dancers themselves, featured a daz- zling array of jazzy steps, whirls, and leaps all choreographed to perfection. The club was open to anyone who was interested and wanted to try out. Try outs held at the end of the year required that the person learn part of a dance that is taught to them, make up a dance of their own, and imitate an inanimate object. The Modern Dance Club is a production group. We choreograph dance numbers for productions. It is run as a workshop for the dancers and it is their club, said Mrs. Pat Woods, advisor for the group since 1969. The hard working troupe of twenty-one girls performed for a variety of events including special assemblies for La Merced and Montebello Intermediate School. Senior Heidi Gilston a member for three years, commented, Performing is one of the greatest feeling a person can experience. When you have accomplished what you have worked so hard for. During the summer of 1982, nine of the dance club members attended the United Spirit Association Dance Camp in Irvine. They had a great time and learned many new dances, remarked Mrs. Woods. 54 Gymantics Dancers keeping in step 1 Mary Velasco and Heidi Gilston gracefully perform to their version of Les Jambes. 2.

In September, the devoted representatives set a few goals for themselves and went all out to achieve them. Our main goal was to make the Class of ' 83 remembered, said Tedoco. We also wanted to make the Freshmen feel like they were a part of the school, he added. Sponsoring the Ice-Breaker Dance in Septem- ber was just the beginning in their calendar of events. In the months to follow, the Seniors sold corsages, boutonnieres, had a soda booth at Homecoming, and sold Senior T-shirts. Among their other money making ventures were a candy booth at the Sadie Hawkins Dance and a mouth watering bake sale of Mexican bread called Pan de Dulce. Planning a successful Winter Ball in Janu- ary and selling Sham-o-Grams in March als o occupied much of their time. During Homecoming week, the Seniors captured first place for exhibiting the most spirit and also awed audiences with their creative and colorful float which they shared with the Freshmen. In March, the Seniors planned an adventurous excursion to Mam- moth Lakes where they spent three days skiing. Along with the many events, the reps put together a fantastic Senior assembly on May 27, Senior Ditch Day. Slides taken by various students throughout the year recapped the highlights of their last year at MHS. Shown on three large screens, the assem- bly featured a disc jockey to coordinate the music. As a parting gift to their beloved school, the loyal Seniors replaced the aged marquee in front of the school. Ortiz remarked, We ' re the best, we ' ll always be, ' cause we ' re the Class of ' 83! 1. The sign says it all! 2. Senior Spirit Day allows the Class of ' 83 to express themselves. 3.

ASB Officers and Cabinet 71 ASB govern The cabinet was composed of five Seniors, Secre- tary of Activities Julie Lantini, Secretary of Athletics Efren Varela, Secretary of Clubs Minnie Atilano, Sec- retary of Finance Lillian Lathrop, and Secretary of Publicity Larry Wolfus. The purpose of the cabinet was to assist the President with his duties. Each cabi- net member ' s job was geared toward one specific ac- tivity for which they were responsible. Supported by the aid of Advisor Mr. Jeffrey Schwartz, the student government class met first pe- riod each day and consisted of the ASB leaders. Cabi- net, and class officers. During the week, the ASB members discussed various suggestions for events, fundraisers, and outstanding bills. An official meeting was held each Friday and the members presented the suggestions for approval and voted on the issues. They also allocated money for worthwhile projects, such as beautifying the school. Taking part in the handiwork themselves, the diligent members re- painted the bell in front of the school. In addition, they sponsored special projects like a blood drive and a successful canned food drive, through which they collected an all time high of 2,683 cans. Spiropoulos remarked, I got a lot out of working with people when we were all trying to accomplish the same goals. She added, It was fun whenever ASB got together to do things because we all got along so well. Along with their various projects, the energetic stu- dent government made it their main objective to en- courage class participation. Wong commented, Our goal was to raise school spirit by teamwork. Seen at a variety of sport events, the members infected crowds with their vitality and enthusiasm. Noted for cheering with the cheerleaders, Wong recalled, Last year when I cheered at football games, people thought I was crazy. But this year it was natural and everyone in the stands cheered along with me. There was definitely much more spirit this year. Commenting on the ASB class, Mr. Schwartz said, They were an outstanding group of people who were dedicated, motivated, and tried to make MHS number one. 1.

Better known as CSF, their motto has been scholarship for service. The history of CSF dates back to 1916. It was chartered at Montebello High School m 1946. Our twenty year advisor of CSF has been Mrs. Jean Randall, and also recently Mrs. Billie Slutsky. CSFmembers worked hard through- out the year in order to maintain their scholastic status. They also attended meetings once a week to discuss activi- ties and service projects. All their ef- fort was worthwhile because CSF membership has traditionally been recognized as an important factor for admission to colleges and universities.

News 87 Once again a new year has begun and an eventful year has passed in the everlasting process of renewal and rejuvenation. Taking the bitter with the sweet was just part of dai.iv existence for all Americans. Piecing together these bits of the past occuring since the last volume of the GOLDEN KEY and making them permanent for the future, was the objective of this article. Vv ' ars in far away places brought turmoil and feelings of unsettlement to many. A total of eighteen nations were engaged in war, ranging from gorilla skirmishes to full battle at sea. Conflict continued to rage in Central America over elections in El Salvador and a political coup in Guatemala. In the South Atlantic, Argentine troups seized the Falkland Islands, a colonial territory of Great Britain. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sent an armada of warships, submarines, and converted luxury liners. The price of the British victory was high. Tv enty-seven hundred Britains were engaged in the battle with 255 British troups and 746 Argentines losing their lives. The conflict in the Middle East continued between Christian an d Moslem militia in Lebanon. Israeli troops occupied Beirut and demanded the surrender of Yasser Arafat ' s PLO fighters. The assassination of the Lebanese President-elect triggered the worst event in the seven years of civil war in Lebanon. Anti-PLO Christian Phalangists attacked refugee camps and slaugh- tered at least 800 men, women, and children. In Southwest Asia the war continued between Iraq and Iran with the largest infantry assaults since the Korean War. Nine hundred miles away in Afghanistan, guerillas struggled against Soviet and Afghan troops. Poland was rocked by disturbances as the outlawed union. Solidarity, struggled to survive. Citizens and authorities clashed in fifty-three different communities and union leader Lech Walesa was finally released from custody after a nationwide strike failed. Poignant memories were stirred at the unveiling of a Vietnam memorial in Washing- ton, D.C. Engraved on black, polished granite were the names of 57,939 American men and women who had lost their lives or were missing in action in Vietnam. Draft resisters were prosecuted by the U.S. Government. Benjamin Sasway, 21, was the first person since the Vietnam War to receive a prison sentence for failing to register for the draft. Unemployment reached double digits for the first time since 1941. Despite President Reagan ' s promises for relief of this problem, it just seemed to increase at an alarming rate. Layoffs, plant closings, an independent trucker strike, and bankruptcies were experienced across the country. Securing a suitable job became an enormous feat that few were able to accomplish. The Environmental Protection Agency was rocked by scandle akin to Watergate. Established thirteen years ago by President Nixon, the EPA was suspected of abusing great sums of money from a superfund established to clean up abandoned hazardous waste dumps. Several high level administrators were dismissed and the waste dumps remained hazardous. A twelve year battle for ratification ended in defeat for the Equal Rights Amendment. It fell short of passage by three of the necessary thirty-eight states, despite polls showing that two thirds of U.S. Men and women approved of the Amendment. Within two weeks, the Constitutional Amendment was reintroduced and the ratification pro- cess started again. Antinuke activists staged the largest political demonstration in U.S. history. Seven hundred thousand demonstrators from rive continents rallied against nuclear arms in New York ' s Central Park. California coasts were weathered away by treacherous waves and tides during sever- al severe storms. They caused millions of dollors of damage to residential homes and restaurants on the beach front. The famous Santa Monica Pier was battered into the ocean and a tornado damaged the Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles. Winter storms raged in the Eastern stales, blanketing the population with record levels of snow. A great number of famous people passed away leaving an indelible impression. Among them were the great Henry Fonda, 77, who had just received an Oscar for his performance in the movie, ON GOLDEN POND. The beautiful and much loved Ingrid Bergman died at the age of 67, but her films will remain forever. Singer Karen Carpenter suffered from anorexia nervoxa. Comedians Paul Lynde and John Belushi of ANI- MAL HOUSE and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, will be re- membered by many. Ruler of the Soviet Union for eigh- teen years, Leonid I. Brezhnev died at the age of 75. Yuri Andropov was named his successor. The great American playwright, Tennessee Williams and novelist Ayn Rand will be remembered by their great writings. An extremely unfortunate car accident ended the life of Princess Grace of Monaco. Her daughter Caroline was behind the wheel when their car went over a cliff. At the age of 52, Princess Grace left eleven movies by which she will be remem- bered. T V actor Vic Morrow of COMBAT died in an acci- dent while filming a movie version of THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Bess Truman, widow of President Harry Truman, died at age 97. A dentist named Barney Clark was the first person to World News • -v.. w R L D N E W S have an artificial heart implanted successfully. The discovery of Extra Strength Tylenol capsules laced with deadly cyanide poison horrified the nation. Tylenol products were swept from the shelves of all stores and authorities searched for the crazed culprit who had altered these popular painkillers. A series of copy cat crimes, inspired by detailed media reports of the Tylenol tamperings caused several people to try to irnitale the crime. Visine Eyedrops and Anacin tablets were also affected, resulting in new triple wrapped protective packaging to prevent further tamperings of over-the-counter products. One of the happier moments that will live in the history books was the safe lift-off and return of the space shuttle Challenger. Thousands of people journeyed to the desert to view this advancement of our ever- growing technology. Knoxville, Tennessee was the sight of the 1982 World ' s Fair. A stupendous number of 11,127,786 visitors helped to make this the only U.S World ' s Fair to earn a profit over a million dollars. Checker Motors Corporation of Kalamazoo, Michigan suspended production of the famous checker cabs of New York after being in business since 1921. San Francisco ' s cable cars stopped running after 109 years of service in order to be overhauled. Cartoonist Garry Trudeau took his Doonesbury comicstrip on a vacation, leaving many readers with reruns of early strips printed in their newspapers. Prince Charles and lovely Lady Diana welcomed into the world the heir to the British throne, a healthy William Arthur Phillip Louis. A phenomenal 2,075 simultaneous marriages were conducted by Reverand Sun Myung Moon. Identically dressed Moonies of the Unification Church wed during this two hour marriage ceremony in Madison Square Garden. Actress Sophia Loren spent seventeen days in an Italian jail for tax evasion. John W. Hinkley Jr. was delcared not guilty, by reason of insanity, of attempting to assassinate President Reagan. On the media scene, the much loved TV show M A S H ended with a special two hour movie. After eleven years of weekly shows lasting longer than the Korean war itself, the cast felt it had run out of fresh ideas. CBS cancelled the LOU GRANT show after five successful years, and the comical WKRP IN CINCINNATI ended after four years. Herman Wouk ' s novel WINDS OF WAR was transformed into a TV mini-series with an all star cast. Cable television continued to expand. Almost one third of U.S. households were wired for cable and some large cities offered viewers over 50 channels. Ninty-eight percent of those households kept their sets on for an average of seven hours a day. An estimated fifteen million sets were rigged with arcade game modules. Video ames continued to flourish to the delight of many. Zaxxon, Stargate, Centipede, Moon Patrol, Donkey Kong, Joust, Defender, Tempest, and MS. Pac-man were popular pastimes for those with quarters to spare. Vidiot Ned Troid played Defender for 62 ' 2 consecutive hours on a single quarter. Frank Zappa ' s fifteen year old daughter. Moon Unit, struck gold with her overvoicmg of a record describing Valley Girls . gag me with a spoon. An all girl band, the Go-Go ' s were a huge success. E.T. became an instant sensation when he made his movie debut. In six months time filmmaker Steve Spielberg earned over $300 million with his little gnome. A romantic hit at the box office was AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN, starring Richard Gere and Debra Winger. Its theme song, performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes, Up Where We Belong, won them a Grammy award. Special effects in POL- TERGEIST, another Speilberg creation, were fabulous and ON GOLDEN POND was the great Henry Fonda ' s last movie. Another smash at the box office was TOOTSIE, where Dustin Hoffman played the role of a woman. In sports there were a few unexpected surprises. Devoted fans were appalled at some of the changes that took place. An eight week pro-football strike for higher pay started with little enthusiasm from the players, but ended up to their advantage. Fans were devastated and forced to watch Canadian Football which employed a different set of rules, during the usual Sunday and Monday Night Football time slots. Making up for lost time after the strike, the Miami Dolphins and Washington Redskins battled their way to the Super Bowl XVII, with the Redskins victorious 24-14. A new football league was formed called the United States Football League. The USFL drafted impressive names such as Heisman Trophy Winner, Herschel Walker and former quarterback for the UCLA Bruins, Tom Ramsey. Herschel Walker caused a stir by going against the National Football League rule forbidding the drafting of players prior to completion of four years of college. In baseball, Ricky Henderson of the Oakland A ' s stole a record of 130 bases. Dodger Steve Garvey was traded to the San Diego Padres. The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers to win the coveted title of World Series Champions. Boxer Sugar Ray Leonard retired from the ring as the reigning welter- weight champ. Twenty-four year old Mary Decker Tabb set seven world distance records in one year, including the woman ' s mile at 4:18.08. In July, Jimmy Conners of tennis upset John McEnroe in a five set victory at Wimbledon. Later Conners won the U.S. Open by smashing 22- year old Ivan Lendl. The retirement of Swedish Bjorn Borg left an empti- ness on the tennis courts. Although a five time winner of Wimbledon and the only man to ever win six French Opens, Borg never succeeded in winning a U.S. Open Tournament. Events occuring since the last volume of the GOLDEN KEY were many and varied. This has touched upon the highlights of that period to convey IMAGES FRAMED IN TIME. by Kristine Iwashita vVorld News 89 s 5 Local news 1. Mr. Philip Wagner becomes the newest member of the Board of Education on January 18. 1983. 2. Sponsored by the All American Trophy Company, San- dra Melendez glows with happiness as she is named Miss Montebello. 3. The MOB marches proudly at the Montebello Royale Parade. One of the many traditions held in Monte- bello v as the Miss Montebello Pageant. The 25th annual pageant was held on October 14, 1982. This pageant was special because there was the meeting of some of the former Miss Montebello ' s dating back to 1949. Of the 41 contestants who entered the pag- eant, the following were from Montebello High School: Minnie Atilano, Natacha Bian- chetti, Emily Gutierrez, Lillian Lathrop, Yvonne Martinez, Julie McCain, Kristen McCracken, Laurie Mondragon, Laurie Poir- ier, Michelle Sandoval, Patricia Sandoval, and Mandy Tulles. HighHghting the evening was the corona- tion of Miss Montebello, Sandra Melendez. Miss Melendez was presented a ring designed and created by Rosemarie Vasquez. It was given on a perpetual basis as a symbol of the evening. The evening proved to be quite ex- citing for those who were involved in this fine old tradition of Montebello. The Montebello Soroptimist Club spent an- other busy year providing service work for our community. Charted on March 22, 1952, the Montebello Soroptimist Club was orga- nized by the Whittier Soroptimist Club. In- volving over 60,000 women, this world wide organization has pledged themselves to the enrichment of mankind. The Soroptimist Club supported numerous services such as Christmas baskets for the needy, the Montebello Guidance Center, the Rose Float Association, Beverly Hospital, and the list is endless. In addition, the Soroptimists obtained and reconstructed a red barn in Grant Rea Park. They also provide funds to support Soroptimist Village, which is a hous- ing project for low income Senior Citizens. The Soroptimist Club also provides annual scholarships such as the Evelyn Symon Busi- ness Award for a Senior at Montebello High. There is also a Florence Raines Educational Award for a Senior interested in becoming a teacher from either Montebello or Schurr High. Another one of Montebell ' s traditions is the La Rosas Debutante Queens Ball. It was held February 12, 1983 in the Orange Coast Ball Room of the Anaheim Marriot Hotel. Of the 23 women that were selected from several schools for outstanding scholastic abil- ity, and participation in school and community activities, the following were from Montebello High; Natacha Bianchetti, Barbie Briones, Lil- lian Lathrop, and Alicia Molina. 90 Local News School Services 91 Student Store, Finance Office, and Library Aides 92 Stage, Sound, Press, and AV Crews 93 Cooks and Custodians 94 rqrv sot ' 5.V. 1.

Library aides completed such jobs as shelving, checking in and out books, covering books, filing catalogue cards, typing, and even helping other students to find books. Last minute purchases, such as pencils, paper, notebooks, and gym clothes were handled by the energetic Student Store staff. Giving up most of their lunch time, to work in the student store, these students provided a valuable service for their fellow classmates. The Finance Office had its own staff which assisted students by providing change, selling tickets, ASB cards, and yearbooks. The Press Crew provided pictures while the AV crew fulfilled the school ' s constant need for films, projectors, tapes, and other audio visual equipment. The Sound Crew was responsible for setting up electrical and sound systems for pep rallies, assemblies, and sports events. The Stage Crew handled all aspects of productions in the auditorium including lights and curtains during con- certs and plays. 92 Student Store, Finance Office, and Library Aides Senior Lisa Palacios arranges books for reshelving.

Don ' t be a poop, bring some soup, Be bad dudes, bring canned foods. Shortly before Christ- mas vacation, humorous signs like these filled the hallways of various buildings, attracting the atten- tion of students. The signs encouraged students to donate canned foods to help needy families who would otherwise be hungry over the holiday sea- son. In charge of this worthy cause was the Inter- Act Club and the Associated Student Body. With the slogan of Don ' t be greedy, feed the needy in mind, enthusiastic students and faculty surpassed the goal set at 2,500 cans. About a hun- dred and forty cans were bought with money don- ated by Oilers at basketball games. While many students brought in a can or two, Weller Wong and Pino Lorenzo donated 78 and 70 cans respectively. ASB Advisor, Mr. Jeff Schwartz commented, It was really great to see our student body help people during the holiday season. 94 Canned Food Drive Cooks Custodians LI I? : n Ui ' i U- ■■ .J- . . r Events 95 Fashion Show 96-97 Sadie Hawkins 98-99 Powderpuff Football 100-101 Basketball Homecoming 102-105 Donkey Basketball 106-107 Winter Ball 108-109 Prom ' 110 Football Homecoming 111-113 Homecoming Queen and Court 114-115 Football Homecoming Fair 116 %. • ' Before the lunch crowd comes into the cafeteria, Mrs. Rose Ricchio moves quickly, so as to beat the rush.

Events Fabricating fashions .j ' -ffini :::;:?: 2 3 4 For students who hoped to pursue a career in fashion designing or modehng, the Annual Spring Fashion Show allowed them to experience some aspects of life in those professions. Students enrolled in Clothing 1-2, Clothing 3-4, and Tailoring were given the opportunity to participate in the show. In their class, they created garments they wanted to include in their wardrobe, keeping in mind the fact that it would be graded and might be modeled in the show. Besides being taught to sew and produce clothing, the students were given modeling tips and learned how to organize a fashion show. The girls get a sense of fulfilling a responsibility to a group and to the school, commented Mrs. Rita Kramer, director of the show. She added, They also take pride in the garments they sew. This dazzling display of clothing took place March 24 in the auditorium. For many of the girls, it was their first time on stage as models. It was valuable experience for them. explained Mrs. Kramer. The female audience consisted mainly of MHS students but included mothers and relatives of participants as well as Board of Education members. Also attending the show were the fashion editors from the Montebello News and Montebello Messenger. Mrs. Kramer concluded, This was the best show we have had. All the hard work paid off. The kids did a great job. 96 Fashion Show 5 6 . A « n (  Sa ' t I ' lifaoiiftrr-i Fashion Show Models: Eva Saenz. Regina Guevara. Suzanne Marchard. Mehssa Apan- cio, Yvonne Ortega, Lucy Kozycz.

Sponsored annually by Girls ' League, the traditional girl-ask-guy Sadie Haw- kins Dance took place on November 24. The symbol for the dance, Sadie Hawkms, was the creation of Cartoon- ist Al Capp, and was an inspiration to all mateless fe- males. Sadie (the girl) would get her chance to latch her man, Lil ' Abner by asking him to go to the yearly dance. Featuring a hillbilly theme, couples arrived dressed in matching plaid shirts, jeans, and bandannas. Mixed Mag- ic Productions provided a variety of music and enter- tainment for over 300 couples who filled the dance floor. Anyone taking a break from the dancing was able to visit the wedding chapel where couples were married and given marriage certificates. Other booths included delicious eats like crispy nachos, fresh hot popcorn, jello, ice cold cokes, baked goods, and also corsages, boutonnieres, and souvenir buttons.

The fearless faculty took on the sock ' em Seniors and suffered a defeat of 32-30. Sponsored by ASB, the Reynold ' s Company provided don- keys, transportation, and trained referees. The game consisted on two twenty minute halves. Some of the basic rules were: to shoot or pass the ball, the rider must be on the donkey. To retrieve the ball from the floor, the rider must hold the reins and pull the donkey along. No dribbling was necessary. Pre-game sentiments included statements from both Seniors and faculty. We ' re gonna kill them, vowed Pino Lorenzo. Italians know donkeys better, joked Larry Maura. Mr. Bob Bee described the contest as, ... a piece of cake, while Mr. Doug Rihn stated, they (Seniors) have no chance. Scoring first for the Seniors was energetic Maria S. Hernan- dez. For the first half it looked as though the faculty had the game won leading 18-10. During the second half though, the Seniors made a victorious comeback as Larry Mauro scored the final winning points. After a tremendous win.

Fortunately for Juniors and Seniors this elegant evening affair was a tremendous success. Dancing and dining at the elegant Biltmore Hotel in the heart of downtown LA was simply indescribable. Couples displayed extraordinary formal wear and music was provided by Back Streets. As the evening continued the coronation of Prom Queen and King was an added attraction.

Imaginative ideas were need- ed relating to the theme of Can ' t Be Beat. A traditional favorite of Homecoming, were the creative floats. Various clubs and classes held flower-making parties several times a week fervently making paper flowers in hopes of produc- ing an award winning float. Their efforts culminated in the all nighter in which students spent the entire night frantically glu- ing paper flowers on their floats. The judges had a hard time deciding, nevertheless, the Senior and Freshman classes won first place, while second place was captured by CSF, and third place honor went to the Junior Class. Spirit week generated enthusiasm and a feeling of pride throughout the student body. Monday was Freshman and Sopho- more day. They acknowledged this by toilet papering the school and holding a pep rally at lunch. On Tuesday morning, many Oilers set their alarm clocks early as they arrived sleepy-eyed at school at 6:30 AM to decorate their section of the school as each class was given a building to adorn with balloons, bright stream- ers, and peppy signs. Another pep rally at lunchtime was held to honor the Juniors. On Wednesday, students coming to school were greeted with a big surprise. The Seniors had festooned the entire school, trees, bushes, and hallways with blue and yellow toilet paper leaving nothing untouched. Signs proclaiming Sen- iors to be Number One and The Best were hung from the tops of buildings. Seniors could easily be spotted by their paper ties. Mr. Walker, the Senior counselor, had his office affectionately filled with streamers and balloons. That same day, a pep rally held during lunch honored our Super Seniors. On Thursday, stu- dents were dismissed early from class at 11:00 to attend the pep rally where finalists for kings and queens were introduced. Color- ful floats were paraded on the track in Heaman Field before crowded bleachers of spirited Oilers. Emily Gutierrez was named the alumni queen and awarded a trophy. The crowd cheered loudly as Anthony Corral, Pino Lorenzo, Ronnie Rodriguez, Efren Varela, and Weller Wong were an- nounced as the finalists for king. Ronnie Rodriguez was voted the undergraduate king while Pino Lorenzo was named the Home- coming King of 1982-83. 1.

Oilers, parents, and devoted alumni cheered their football team onto a victory. Fans came early and the bleachers were soon packed shoulder to shoulder. Colorful banners made by the pepsters decorated the stands. Against the fired up Oiler team, the Cal High Condors did not stand a chance. The Oiler offense prevailed as they compiled a total of 39 points. The Oiler defense, which amassed 4 sacks, allowed the Condors only 7 points, and left Montebello with a 4-1 record in Whitmont League. At halftime, with the score 32-7, the floats were driven around the track before the capacity crowd. Oiler fans were later treated to a sensational performance by the Mighty Oiler Band. Highlighting the evening was the coronation of the new queen. Everyone in the stands waited anxiously as the five nominees for queen walked onto the field escorted by their fathers. Pat Espinoza, Mandy Telles, Betty Cuellar, and Emily Gutierrez were announced as princesses and Evan Quezada was proclaimed the Homecoming Queen of 1982-83. Tears of joy flowed down Eva ' s cheeks as last year ' s queen, Elena Ornelas, placed the crown on her head. Contentment spread throughout the crowd as the newly crowned queen and her court stepped from the field. Homecoming ' 82- ' 83 was a great success due to the whole-hearted support of each and every student at Montebello High.

The Rigettes practiced almost every day after school, polishing and perfecting routines.

It involved more than putting on a blue and gold uniform to cheer at the various games and pep rallies. It took a lot of hard work and dedication. All twenty-nine girls spent time and money last summer to go to camp in Santa Barbara. The Yell Leaders received a spirit stick, Varstiy Yell and Song Leaders received superior trophies, and Flag and Song captured 2nd place in their division. The girls learned new routines and m the process they became close friends. Besides promoting spirit at the games and pep rallies, the Pepsters helped raise the enthusiasm of the students. The sponsor, Ms. Shirley Johnson commented, Concluding third year as Pepster sponsor, I am finally reaping the benefits of y labor of . the best group yet.

Pep Commission organized and took part in all pep rallies. Their weekly meetings were held on the Monday before a pep rally in the ASB room during lunch time. Ms. Shirley Johnson was the new advisor this year. Spirit Club was forced to disband because they could not find an advisor to sponser them. Mr. Wil- ham Bowley, the 1981-1982 advisor was unable to continue due to previous commitments including coaching our promising girls basketball team. Undaunted, Spirit Club sought Mr. Glenn Bier- man to be their advisor. However, due to a late start and lack of student interest, the club was forced to disband by the end of the first semester. 124 Pep Rallies The Mighty Oiler Pep Band lounges on the football field before their performance for the homecoming pep rally.

As early as last August the enthusiastic Annual Staff could be found hard at work preparing Volume 57 of the Golden Key yearbook. The novice staff, headed by Co- Managing Editors Gerard Mann and Kris- tme Iwashita included only five returing staff members. Also new to the staff, but a veteran of the publishing industry was ad- visor Ms. Diane Jaffe who taught business education courses too. The Annual Staff class was reorganized to run like a professional publishing com- pany with weekly staff meetings and spe- cific job descriptions for each staff posi- tion. For the first time staff members learned the painstaking skill of preparing full color camera ready material. The An- nual Staff class should be a training ground for students interested in careers related to publishing, stated Ms. Jaffe. Annual Staff ended an age old rivalry with the staff of the Derrick Diary news- paper by working together to produce a Homecoming float, sharing hardworking staff members before deadline, and co- sponsoring various fund raising activities. Energetic and dedicated staffers real- ized that putting the yearbook together re- quired extra time, effort, and patience. Endless hours were spent brainstorming for new ideas, writing captions and copy, researching information, scheduling pho- tographs, creating artwork, and designing layouts. The hardworking staff struggled to create a truly unique and elegant book to capture the history of a very special year at MHS Annual Staff 127 errick Diary prepares for publication Derrick Diary Staff.

At least three weeks before publication, layout sheets were designed by the individual page editors, Samuel Robles, Anna Cavanias, Mauricio Morales, and Mike Morris. From this point on, reporters were usually scur- rying in and out arranging interviews, delivering call slips for photographs, and drafting or retyping copy. After the articles were proofread and revised, the page editors worked wonders making stories, photos, and cartoons fit the pages in time for printing. But, the work did not stop there. Before the paper was distributed, preparations for the next issue were already under way. Each staff member had a role in the paper ' s produc- tion and under the guidance of Derrick Diary advisor Mrs. Kathleen Cruz, the Derrick Diary crew met even the most demanding deadlines. For two consecutive years the Derrick Diary has earned gold medallions from the Western Association of Scholastic School Pub- lications. They attempted to earn a third medallion this year.

Board Of Education T M  M Montebeilo High School 1982 f, li S(l .l S !l ■ ' lul 7 Ji Besides maintaining order m Ihe administration, Montebeilo High School ' s Principal, Mr. Richard K. Benton concerns himself with improving school conditions for the students. One major project early in the year was a remodeling job of the Senior Park and the landscaping in front of the D building. Another of Mr. Benton ' s main concerns was having MHS undergo careful reevaluation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the school ' s academic programs. The results help the administration in making any alterations in its curriculum to improve academics. The thing Mr. Benton likes most about his job is working with students and assisting them as much as he can. It makes the chief administrator beam with pride when he sees students showing an interest in improving their grade, keeping up school attendance, and promoting school spirit. After careful speculating, Mr. Benton decided that in all the years he has been at MHS, the show of school spirit this year had to be the tops! Principal 133 ff Administrating with ability Anna Chavez Robert Bee Vernon Loose Our chief administrator, Mr. Richard K. Benton was once again aided by three very capable and caring Assistant Principals. Mr. Robert Bee, in charge of Student Services, Ms. Anna Chavez, in charge of Administration, and Mr. Vernon Loose, in charge of In- struction, devoted unending energy to making it a successful year. Since it was accreditation year for MHS, the Western Associ- ation of Schools and Colleges recertified the school for another six years. As part of a continuing evaluation process, W.A.S.C. was interested in determining the success of the school ' s programs and, in general, how the school was running. All teachers, students, staff, and administrators were involved, and Ms. Chavez spent a great deal of her time coordinating the many facets of the year long evaluation. 1.

They were always available to students desiring help with school related or personal problems. Introducing Freshmen into the awesome and sometimes frightening high school environment was the responsibility of Mrs. Jean Randall. She used great care in directing the class of ' 86 toward getting a good start and having a successful first year. The newest counselor. Mrs. Billie Slutsky, started her four year term last year with the class of ' 85. She carefully coached her Sophomores about their career goals and guided them to the appropriate classes. Mrs. Nancy Perez handled all matters pertaining to the Class of ' 84. Juniors who realized that only two years remained, began to observe school life and future plans in a different way. Mrs. Perez proved to be concerned and caring as she helped the students look forward. Mr. Denzil Walker directed his counseling with care to all Seniors, especially those who needed help in meeting specific graduation re- quirements. After four long years, he aided those students suffering from senioritis, a common ailment of the Class of ' 83. The headaches and hard work were rewarded however, as Mr. Walker proudly led his Seniors down the aisle at the graduation ceremonies. 1. Eleventh grade counselor.

A very special group of dedicated personnel were always available to assist students in a variety of ways. The College Counselor, Mrs. Margaret Kuriowa, spent endless hours gathering information for students planning to attend college. Busy Mr. Jeff Schwartz served his second year as Director of Student Services, ran the Fmance Office, and sponsored the ASB, ICC, and GSC. Mr. Robert Cullmg was in charge of the Attendance Office, while Mr. Richard Lynch coordinated all aspects of the Hart testing program. Mrs. Bernice Villescas was responsible for the massive job of maintaining the library, and Mrs. Mickie Yuchno, Reading Specialist, helped to improve reading ability among students. Mrs. Sylvia Thornton, the full time Nurse, was always there to patch up an injury, while Mr. Al Petrushkin supervised the campus and surrounding areas. Hard working and much appreciated Secretaries gave attention to every last detail, while Aides were always there with an extra helping hand. 136 Specials ■J 1.

Is 851 During these economic hard times it was very comforting to realize that our Career Center housed a wealth of occupational educational services. This was primarily due to the continuing support of both the Board of Education and our Principal. Mr. Richard K. Benton, who truly believed in the purpose of the center. That dual purpose was to train students in the mechanics of finding employment, and to place those students in jobs direct- ly related to future career possibilities. There were four outstanding programs offered under the umbrella of the Career Center. The General Work Experience Education (G ' WEE) program provided experience through supervised part-time employment. Students were able to earn both school credits and pay for a minimum of 180 hours on the job. The Exploratory Work Experience Education (EWEE) program provided short term work experience for no pay, but allowed the student to receive school credits. The Vocational Work Experience Education (VWEE) program provided employment in the student ' s chosen occupation. The school and the industry helped to develop a readiness to work by reinforcing and sharpening skills already learned in MHS classes. It allowed both pay and school credit. The Regional Occupation Program (ROP) offered on-the- job skill training for school credits m lieu of payment. The Center coordinated training in a myriad of careers including fashion merchandising, banking, retail sales, food services, auto repair, motorcycle repair, cosmetology, commercial photography, computer occupations, office occupations, and nursing occupations. The county-wide Licensed Vocational Nurses program, coordinated by Mr. Rick Espinoza, screened and trained students m both classroom and on the job training at Beverly Hospital. David Campos (12) and Martha Caudillo (12) were two students involved ir the one and a half year program which will culminate in their certification as Licensed Vocational Nurses in September, 198.3. Mr. Lloyd Daughenbaugh, backed by twelve years of expertise at the MHS Career Center, placed students in various locations throughout the community. These placements ranged from retirement homes to fast food restaurants to retail stores, such as SAV-ON. He treated each case individ- ually, and successfully coordinated the talents of the students with the employment needs of the community. Mr. Richard Koren, a recent addition to the Center, created a monthly bulletin, aptly titled Good News. It kept students in touch with the Center by providing information about employment testing, current job opportuni- ties, and other related activities. Outside the Center, a well maintained bulletin board posted these employment opportunities and often featured photographs of students on the job. Mr. Koren, an accomplished photogra- pher, took many of these photographs and contributed several to this page of the 1983 yearbook. A student who actually made the effort to enter the Career Center in C- Buildmg was greeted by the affable and capable Mrs. Charlene Burton. This smiling lady helped each student to begin a valuable learning experience by introducing them to the three career counselors and the various programs available through the Career Center. 12 1.

Students with handicaps ranging from blind- ness to learning disabilities were able to receive a high school diploma due to the continued support of this superior program. Staffed by six teachers and four aides, students followed an individually designed education plan in both special and regular classrooms. Creativity flourished in the Art Department where students were able to develop their individual talents. Courses such as Drawing and Painting. Crafts, Creative Wood Sculpture, and Photograpny culminated in the Annual Art Show where proud students were able to display their varied creations.

Courses ranged from Ar- chitectural Drawing to Woodworking, including Automotive Me- chanics, Electronics, Industrial Drawing, and General Metal Shop. Enrollment in the Print Shop class was limited to students rec- ommended by their counselor. It offered students the chance to learn a valuable skill in the environment of a functioning print shop. The Graphics Communication Department, a new name for the Print Shop, was coordinated by the talented MHS graduate, Mr. Paul Quattrocchi. Often working six days a week, Mr. Quat- trocchi was assisted by printers, Mr. Randy Cotter and Mr. Mar- cello Infusino. Fulfilling the requests of the entire school district, the Print Shop completed printing projects for twenty-seven dif- ferent schools. They were responsible for producing the Derrick Diary, various memo and note pads, district forms, and even em- ployee payroll slips. The students were able to learn skills such as paste-up, where typeset material is pasted into position and basic press operations, where the press is set up for different sized sheets. Students were also taught bindery operations including package wrapping, col- lating, assembhng, paper folding, and gluing booklets. The students learned to work complex machines such as the Brown 2000 Graphics Camera, which processed typeset material onto a film negative. They also learned to manipulate a paper folder, and a Compugraphics 7500 Editwriter, which is a computer word processor. 148 Industrial Arts Department Esperanza Ybarra hurries to complete her drafting assignment on time, Eric Godinez carefully aligns a ream of printed forms before using the paper cutter.

' • %. The Social Studies Department offered students a wide choice of classes to fulfill the thirty credits required for graduation. American Government class familiarized students with the workings of our national, state, and local governments. Two re- quired semesters of U.S. History traced the development of our nation, while Western Civilization explored the roots of our heri- tage. One semester of World Geography taught students about the world around them. Other electines included Minority Cul- tures, which analyzed various racial and ethnic groups, and Pysh- cology, which taught the study of the mind and human behavior. In November, Mrs. Patricia Bayha ' s Western Civilizations class took a field trip to the Getty Museum. As students studied Greek and Roman sculpture, they were amazed to realize that the entire museum is an authentic representation of an ancient Roman Villa. This trip brought alive their study of economic, pohtical, social and philosophical institutions of our Western Civihzations.

There were ..lany action filled moments for the Oil: ing their come-from-behind victory ; -ir long time arch rival, the Bell Gardens Lancers, a team that has stymied the Oilers for the last three years. A glorious memory for Oiler fans was the last minute win over Pioneer. It was the last game of the sea- son and the Oiler victory meant a share of the league title with El Rancho. The only loss Montebello suffered in league was to the El Rancho Dons. In the first round of CIF playoffs, MHS faced Northview. They entertained the capacity crowd on Heamen Field with a 35-7 romp over Northview. Their quarter-final game against Riverside Poly was much closer and went into overtime with the score tied 14-14. Devoted Oiler fans mobbed the field when kicker Ar- men Moskian ' s ( 10) field goal won that game for MHS, 17-14. The Oilers travelled to Citrus College for their semi-final game where they were stopped, 7-28, from advancing to the fin- als by the tough Damien Spartans. Although it was a disappointment for the Oilers, Coach Rihn commented, to make CIF was a tremen- dous accomplishment. It is a goal few schools attain. This year ' s team deserved all the suc- cess and attention it received.

I feel I had one of the best teams in Southern California. Over the course of their season, MHS gridmen set twenty-two new team and individual records on both the offense and defense. Serving as captain of the football team was Senior Jose Gallegos, who never missed a single game. Along with Jose many of the other players were bestowed to the honor of being named to the All League teams. These teams were comprised of the eight teams in the Whitmont League. Some of them were Frank Acosta, Gil Mejia, Andy Movsessian, Hector Ochoa, Gabriel Ovalle, Anthony Pena, John Ray, Efren Varela, and Vincent Young. Other honors given to some of the players were being named to the AU-CIF teams, All-Rio Hondo Valley teams, and All Southeast teams. George Camacho ( 74), was awarded Whitmont League Defensive Lineman of the Year. Although some members of the team were not named to a specific team, each one played a special part in making this a winning season. Five coaches were responsible for coaching the fifty members of the Varsity football team. They included Mr. Doug Rihn, Head Coach, who trained the quater- backs, Mr. Santini Puailoa, who was the defensive coordinator and coached the running backs, Mr. Mark Smith, who coached the offensive and defensive line, Mr. Ron Hanes, who coached the offense tight ends and the linebackers on defense, and Mr. Bob Torres, who coached the offensive receivers and defensive ends. Coach Rihn stated, This was a very close team. All the coaches will miss this team. It will always bring back special memories when I think of the 1982 Oiler football squad. I feel they were part of a program that has a lot of pride and tradition. We wish them all the very best. 160 Varsity Football MVP Gil Mejia, played wide receiver and defensive back.

Jb ' l ' t 7 8 JV gridmen place third in league The forty-five members of the JV Football team, led by team captains Sal Gaitan, Paul Zaragoza, and Adolfo Castillo, worked together to gain a feeling of unity. Daily two and a half hour workouts were employed to perfect both defensive and offen- sive plays. Weight training during sixth period proved to be a valuable asset in preparing for games. Head Coaches Mr. Anthony Perez and Mr. Dennis LaCommare were helped by Assistant Coaches Mr. Ray Costello, Mr. Paul Gaitan, and Mr. Jimmy Maldonado, who as a coaching unit taught the young players motivation, technique and self- discipline. The young gridmen were undefeated in pre-season. However, they faced two losses in league to the El Rancho Dons and the Bell Gardens Lancers. This gave the Oilers an overall record of 8-2. They proved to be a very aggressive team, rackmg up 253 total offensive points. The help of a tough defense limited all other opponents to merely 44 points. Quarterback Sal Gaitan received the Offensive Player of the Year Award while Alex Ramirez won the Defensive Player of the Year Award. William Avina was honored at the Most Valuable Player. 1.

Head Coach Mr. Dave Mushegan and Assistant Coaches Mr. Wayne Willison and Mr. Bill Drulius, provided constant leadership in guiding their team to a successful season. With a record of 5-2 in league, the only losses suffered were to Santa Fe and Pioneer High Schools. Team captains Frank Rodriguez, and Alfred Lopez guided their team to many victories.

After a heart-stopping and nail bit- ting wait for the results to be tabu- lated, the winners were announced at Mt. SAC. To their surprise the ec- stastic Oilers discovered they had defeated Barstow by a narrow edge of one point. Finally, time spent training had paid off with a stunning victory. Winning did not happen like magic, for they had to work hard anof persevere for 52 weeks. On the average each individual on the team ran 70 miles a week not to mention the invitationals they par- ticipated in on the weekends. Their long list of accomplishments included first places in the Millikan and Northridge Invitationals. In the Sonora Invitational they placed sec- ond after Mater Dei, and at Mt. SAC they captured another second place, losing to a San Diego team. During the eight years Head Coach Mr. Roy Nusson has been at MHS, the Boys ' Varsity teams have won seven of eight league titles.

A superb season for the Girls ' Varsity Cross Country team was highlighted by winning the Whitmont League Championship. Training during summer va- cation and practice during the school year was the daily routine for these girls. This effort reaped many rewards for an energetic team. They advanced to the CIF prehmi- naries where they ran a tough race, but in the end were defeated. A successful season proved to earn a name g for these girls. Girls ' Varsity Cross Country 167 g it their all Following In the footsteps of the Varsity teams were the Boys ' Girls ' JV and Frosh Soph teams. Each individual team was undefeated in league and ended up taking home four Whitmont League Championship titles and trophies. This gave MHS all six cross country championship titles, including the Varsity teams, and an aston- ishing perfect record of no losses for all six teams. After working long and hard hours these young runners improved their times slowly, sec- ond by second until they were able to compete with confidence. More often than not they domi- nated all other league competition and showed good sportsmanship at all times. With so many new and promising runners, next year MHS teams will once again be extremely tough to beat. 168 Boys ' Girls ' JV and Frosh Soph Cross Country 1.

After winning the first match in a three-hour battle with Hacienda Heights Wilson High School, the Varsity team suf- fered five straight losses and their hopes for a successful season were dim. The energetic team was also plagued with leg injur- ies to key players. However, the fourteen girls under the guid- ance of Coach Mrs. Mary Jo Simons, refused to let down. Keep- ing their spirits alive they won five consecutive matches, and continued to win another five of their last six matches. By turning around a dismal start, the team picked up second place in the Whitmont League and an opportunity to take part in GIF competition. However, a loss to Torrance High School stopped them from advancing further in the playoffs. Sally Aleman, and Lisa Hamutoff received First Team All- League honors while Tammy Cisneros received a position on Second Team All-League.

Throughout the school year, the class of ' 84 never hesitated to stir up spirit whenever and wherever they could. The fundraisers and fun-faisers were organized by the Junior representa- tives, Kelly Chung, Peter Garza, Nancy Munoz, and Chairper- son, Roberta Canales. Promoting class spirit, the Juniors did their fair share of decorating the cam- pus during Spirit Week with their tis- sue trimmings. In ad- dition to sponsoring the Rocktober Dance, the Juniors held var- ious fundraisers that included car washes, candy sales, and scrumptious bake sales. The hardworking reps toiled to make Prom ' 83 a magical evening for all in attendance. For the football homecoming, the float entry for the Class of 1984 received oohs and ahs , especially after its towering derrick collided with a low hanging tree branch. Nevertheless, the Ju- niors kept up their hopes and their crushed creation came away with third place. ' The Class of ' 84 has been the most spirited, Roberta Canales commented. I have enjoyed and am proud to have represented the Junior Class, she added. 122 Junior Representatives Abajian, Randy Acosla. Juan Acosta, Leonel Aguayo. Adrianna Aguilar, Ruth Aguilera.

With elected representatives George Atilano, Gregg Katano, Alicia Molina, and Rose- mary Ramirez at the helm, the Class of ' 85 successfully sold baked goods, candy apples, root beer floats, frozen bananas, See ' s suckers, and piz- za. And all this was accomplished before the end of November. In December little Oil- er mirrow pins, a very inventive sales item, could be seen fastened to purses, shirts, and jackets. Alicia Molina remarked, We want- ed to make the Class of ' 85 the best and most spirited class ever. After steaming through their highly prof- itable enterprises, the Sophomores spon- sored a Spring Fling Dance, the highlight of an energy filled year. This lively group continually made their presence known around cam- pus in creative and spirited ways. George Atilano put this to works when he stat- ed, Our goal is build- ing for the future so we can make the Class of ' 85 the best class ever at Montebello High School. 234 Sophomore Representatives f 1 Abajian.
