fyosiewGSid On September 7, 955, the first student body of Monterey High School entered the school to assume their studies in a building not nearly completed. To set worthwhile precedents and appropriate traditions for future classes was ever in the minds of the Monterey Planning Committee as they co-ordinated activities during this first year. Cluttering the halls of Monterey were workmen, tools, electric cords, and building supplies, and the sound of construction could be heard anytime of the day. In spite of distractions and incompleted departments, students and teachers alike joyfully attacked their tasks, determined to do their best. The first school term saw some firsts in national events, such as Safe Driving Day and colored television. The President of the United States suffered a heart attack which brought public atten- tion to the dangers of heart disease. Dr. Jonas Salk produced his life saving drug for the prevention of the crippling infantile paralysis. At the some time lives were being saved by new medical discoveries, millions of people were killed or left homeless in the flood disasters. The first CHAPARRAL staff worked long and diligently to select materials for and to produce a worthwhile permanent record of the first year at Monterey. As final deadlines neared, we some- times felt that our job would never be completed. However, here it is, the first CHAPARRAL, dedicated to the first student body and faculty and to the future of Monterey High School. 6
