DIABLO 50 Published by the Student Body MT. DIABLO HIGH SCHOOL CONCORD CALIFORNIA FOREWORD The noises of the bulldozers have stopped. The build- ings are completed. One by one students and teachers have moved their gear into new quarters. Spacious rooms awaited us with light for the reading eyes, and room for the moving muscles. Next year there will also be streamlined machines in the shop. This is our year of expansion. We wish to make this our theme, as well as chronicle the days of our big year, one thousand nine hundred and fifty. May you enjoy it.

Because we. the students of Mt. Diablo High School, are witnesses to their deeds in a year of expansion, we wish to dedicate our book to the Board of Trustees of the Mt. Diablo Unified District. In our first year of unification, they have spoken the good word, and before our eyes have arisen three magnificent new buildings. They have had faith, and Superintendent James W. Dent with his unified staff; and Lo—a bond issue has passed to provide more build- ings and equipment for the district. They are the workers of miracles. We wish them to know that we have seen these things done, and in recognition, happily we dedicate the Diablo '50. SECRETARIES LEFT TO RIGHT: Cordelia Beckman. Patricia McttnitB Adele Hodge.

Under unification, the Big Four' administration of last year has doubled. Maybe two heads are better than one! Mr. James Dent, whom we admired as principal last year, is now superintendent of the entire Mt. Diablo Unified School District. The gentleman who bears the august title of Assis- tant Superintendent of Instruction is Dr. Ferd Kiesel. whose job it is to coordinate the instruction from kindergarten to the senior high school. Mr. John Cleary is one whom we all know. La t year he was introduced to us as vice-principal: this year he has advanced to the principalship of Mt. Diablo High School. The business manager of this new unified district is pleasant-faced Owen J. Cook. He is in charge of the unified transportation system as well. Pete Kramer, our able dean of boys, has served us well in this capacity for the past two years. He was previously head football and track coach. Surprise of the year was the discovery that Miss Irmgard Witt, our dean of girls, had changed her name to Mrs. Irmgard Cox. Marriage has not changed her. She still lends her sympathy and effici- ency to the girls and their attendance as always. Our head counselor is Mr. Martin Olavarri. who has the job of arranging programs and fittina classes into schedules. He also teaches a neat bit of typing. Mr. William Thrasher is director of adult education classes at Diablo, as well as financial adviser for stu- dent body affairs. 8 SENIORS DON AZEVEDO President MARGARET ENGLUNO Vice-president MARGIE SLAKE Secretary-treasure r CLASS HISTORY CLASS OFFICERS....................

CLASSES Wood Peter , prciident; Donna Sahm. le'retary; and Maxine Powell, vice-president. JUNIORS The class of 51 began Its third year at Diablo by electing the following officers: Woods Peter;, ©resident: Maxine Powe!'. vice-president; and Donna Sahm. secretary- treasurer. The dance of the year, as far as the class was concerned, was the Junior Prom. Diablans walked the Rue de la Paix in An Evening in Paris. Sidewalk cafes, fashion windows, and the romantic music of Michel Bigge added to the Parisian atmosphere. To replenish the class treasury, a musical show was produced during the spring semester. Oh! Oh! Freshmen, better watch out! Seniors have power; seniors have dignity. The call of '51 is moving in on you. 1 22 Mr Donald Johntlono Mitt Joyca W.tud a FIRST ROW, left to right: Thomas Cook.

SOPHOMORES The mighty sophomores came back to school with a bang. After being flustered frosh for a year, they found an outlet for excess energy in picking on the new freshmen. Due to the absence of activity period, class officers Davelie Elling. president: Bill Hillman, vice-president; and Pat McKenzie, secretary, were not elected before the third report period. The combined efforts of the sophomores and the dance committee produced the Christmas Formal, one of the best dances of the year. The theme was carried out with a Christmas tree, a snowman, and glittering stars. The happy dancers felt as if they were truly in a Winter Wonderland. March 29 saw the class of '52 staging a top Fashion Show. The beauties boosted the class treasury. June 16—Just think. Juniors now! FIRST ROW, left to right: Charles Darrach. Johnny Selaya.

FRESHMEN Modern times have come to Diablo with the freshman class. This year, instead of being timid and bewildered, as freshmen are traditionally, they were bold and unafraid of upperclassmen. Their unusual behavior seemed to parallel our district expansion. The year’s first social event was the Freshman Frolic. This was a semi-formal dance which put the student body in the spirit of the fall term. The coronation of Freshman King Ward Inky Cockerton and Queen Jacqueline Jones was the highlight of the evening. The annual contest to determine the typical freshman boy and girl found Donald Lefty Withrow as the boy. and Elaine De Benedetti as the girl of the hour. Class officers elected were: Dick Towers, president; Catherine Raymond, vice- president: and Harris Nussbaum, secretary-treasurer. By the end of the first semester, the freshmen had been accepted. They held a spring dance for freshmen only and a luncheon picnic on the football field. Unification must be catching. This talented group, impressed by the magnitude of our new buildings, today prom- ises an interesting tomorrow. FIRST ROW, lett to right: Virgil Edit, David Atkine, Bob Kelly.

Student officers this year have followed this axiom faithfully and have constituted a fine corps of officers. Richard Ratliff, president of the student body, is an approved leader and rates in football, track, and personality as well. A vice-president is usually given little opportu- nity to display his abilities. But Beth Lund, vice-pres- ident of our student body, disproves a generality. Janet Millard, popular secretary of entertain ment. is responsible for the talent presented at our student assemblies this year. She is also Coach Mil lard's daughter. Pat Bruce combines a pleasing personality with A-l sports ability. She is president of tho G.A.A. If present ability is indicative of future success. Joan Reynolds is our choice for the constituents' girl- of the year. She has done a perfect job as secretary- treasurer of the student body. One of the busiest girls on the campus is Sylvia Annis, who, along with her many other titles, is pres- ident of the Girls' League. Sandy' Parker. Svlvia's right-hand-man. is vice- president of the Girls’ League and is always ready to do her job accurately and pleasantly. Salutes go to Sue Beitzel. Dance Committee Chairman, for the ingeniously planned Diablo dances. Joe DeRosa, the All-County football center, is the boys' choice for president of their Federation. Gus Talbot, vice-president of Boys’ Federation, is known to all by his quick smile and sincere friend- liness. He is a credit to this organization. 40 Lounging on the green. Time for fhe bell.

Two extracurricular print jobs were absorbed by this year's staff. Football programs for all home games, as well as county track meet sheets were successfully edited. A Christmas super edition with pictorial ads was another new for our unified year. The staff watched, and wrote, and publicized school policies, plugged all drives, added sugared words to cake sales and practiced journalism in its own style.

HELEN IUM adviser PEGGY HOSKING assistant «ditor ann McCullough «ditor With this annual publication, history has been made at Diablo. For the first time the Mt. Diablo yearbook includes colored pictures. The Diablo '50 was originally planned in black and white, but when it was found that the seniors would like pages in color, the staff determined to have them. These pictures are the culmination of hours of planning, budgeting, and devising money-making schemes. The ambitious staff, with the indispensable counsel of Mrs. Helen Lum, annual adviser, and under the direction of editor-in-chief. Ann McCullough, used a pastry sale, a carnival, a new method of presenting advertisements, and a faculty basketball game to raise money. This was not an easy task because besides these additional projects, there were still deadlines to meet, pictures to be taken, and advertisers to be contacted. Their efforts were rewarded by the unique yearbook. With the district unification and construction of new buildings on our campus, this has been a significant year at Diablo. Such a year deserves special notice in the yearbook. It is the hope of the staff that the Diablo '50 will emphasize this theme of growth and development at Mt. Diablo High School.

A CAPPELLA The a cappella choir was organized as a class for the first time this year under the direction of Miss Vera Boyd. After holding many professional rehearsals, the 76 members presented a concert April 25. Dressed in regular choir robes, the members sang groups of sacred songs, spirituals, folk songs, and semi-classical numbers. In addition to the Spring Concert, the choir pro- vided the accompanying music for the Christmas Pageant and also prepared for a unified district radio show. Miss Boyd hopes to make the a cappella choir a select group toward which all music students will strive. BAND Forty-two musicians composed Diablo’s marching band this year. The school’s first drill band was received with enthusiasm by the students. Under the direction of Mr. James Arnold, the band performed at a; home football games, as well as at Alhambra and Antioch. The musicians were colorful as they marched down the field with drum major, Norman Kutner. and high-stepping majorettes Mary Mc- Eachin and Faith Haviland. Because of its top-notch performances, the band rated uniforms which were procured through student body sales of magazine subscriptions. In May the band combined with the orchestra to hold a spring concert. The band played at the dedica- tion of the new gym, and at graduation in June.

Spotlighting the season was the hard driving of Jaclc Brown, the speed of Richard Ratliff, the blocking of Joe De Rosa and Harmon Welch, and the effective punting of Paul Johnson. Under the quarterbacking of Tom Little Magician' Kramer, the team worked like a robot. Danny Devil' went into the first league game with 19 points against him; how- ever. he held the Acalanes Dons to a tie. Taking this tie in his stride, he went on to defeat John Swett. About this time, the old flu-bug hit three-fourths of our players, and as a result, we had to postpone the Pittsburg game. The next week we lost to Antioch, but after that, we tied Alhambra 6-6. Many agree that the best game of the season was with the Pittsburg Pirates. We were the underdogs, and Pittsburg was expected to beat us by at least two touchdowns. Although Pittsburgh did come out on top. it was only by 7 points. Our bovs played a grertt game that night. At the conclusion of the season when the county awards were handed out. Joe De Rosa rated first string as did Jack Brown. Harmon Welsh landed on the second county string, and several other members of the team received honorable mention.

The team then went on to win the last four league games. Joe DeRosa. All-County, who scored 146 points during the league season, led this year's Diablo 5. John Williams landed a berth on the third All-County, while Jerry Annis and Chuck Frank received honorable mention on the All-County squad.
