Just so in 1901 with the prayers of district electors, twenty-eight students and two faculty members opened a creaking rented door and started a school. Today, Mt. Diablo is fifty years old, and the land Mr. A. W. Maltby deeded to the school now holds ten buildings, a swimming pool, fifteen-hundred stu- dents, and a faculty of sixty members.

CALIFORNIA DEDICATION There is an old tale of a wandering juggler who sought refuge in a monastery from the winter's unkindness. He tried to follow the Brothers in their devotions. Vainly he attempted to make the proper obeisance to the Holy Virgin, but he was an unlearned man. His ignorance was a wound upon his mind. One day in agony he took the tools of his trade into the empty chapel. He spread his thread- worn rug at the feet of the Virgin, and juggled for her. For a very long time he juggled ... At last he found peace in his heart. Then a miracle occurred. The Virgin descended from her pedestal and wiped the sweat from his brow. May the miracle of understanding descend upon us if, in our attempt to pay homage to Diablo's unselfish men and women of the past, our tools seem slight and irreverent. We wish sincerely to dedicate this Diablo 1951 to every one who, in our fifty years of growing, has had a hand in fashioning this school of today. Big plans for more district schools are shaped under the finger tips of Dr. Ferd Kiesel. assistant superin- tendent; Mr. Owen Cook, business manager; and Mr. James W. Dent, superintendent, Mt. Diablo Unified District. MR. MARTIN OLAVARRI MR. PETE KRAMER MR.

The Administrators. 1951 It may have taken the district forty-eight years to change the word union” to unified, but it was a matter of months only before the original school building was changed into a Pentagon for the administrators. Mr. James Dent, superintendent of the Mt. Diablo Unified School District, now carries the planning load along with Dr. Ferd Kiesel, assistant superintendent, and Mr. Ov en Cook, business administrator, for the whole district. Mr. John Cleary, principal, came to us as vice-principal in 1948 under Mr. Dent. After one year's service in assisting the principal, he packed up his files and moved into the inner office to take over his present duties as principal. Mr. Martin Olavarri, head counselor, took over Mr. Cleary's old office in 1949, and has the problem of programing and counseling the 1500-odd students now in attendance at Diablo. Across The Tunnel lie the offices of the deans, Mr. Pete Kramer, with twenty-five years' service to our school, as dean of boys; and Mrs. Irmgard Cox as dean of girls. There is another office in old room 12 now, that of Mis. Adele Hodge. Here attendance records are kept and filed. Age cannot wither — the old building. 5 SECRETARIES Lcll to Right: Eunice Matheson.

Since my birth in a small room in the Concord Grammar School fifty years ago, I have grown in size and prominence. At birth many thought me weak and believed that I wouldn't last long. But with the aid of many friends who had faith in my future, I gained strength. There were men like Mr. A. W. Maltby who generously donated the land for my home, and Mr. George W. Wright, my first principal. Mr. Wright, accompanied by three teachers, led sixty-two students through the four-year course. Naturally, they felt quite proud of me. And why not? Very few high schools in their third year have been accredited by the University of California. Quite good for a three-year-old, don't you think? I was now beginning to get growing pains. There were principals coming and going every two or three years. Mr. Herbert Kittredge, Mr. Leroy Stevens and Mr. E. Dixon all helped me in my earlier years. Then in 1910 it happened. Mr. Roger Phelps became my principal. That year I acquired two new rooms. My students could crowd into eight rooms now, in- stead of the original six. Oh, I was small all right, but there were always plans being made for my future. People were taking an interest in me now. When I gained an assembly room and new shops, I felt quite proud. In 1917 I felt even prouder. I was put into the capable hands of Miss Bertha Romaine. Miss Romaine knew how I felt about growth and did all she could to help me. I knew her because she had been my vice-principal for six years and we had become fast friends. Now we were to become partners. My auditorium was built in 1918, closely followed by a new gymnasium in 1919. Then another dream came true for my partner and me, a science building with the addition of a cafeteria was opened in January of 1924. Ours was a fine partnership. Once again I had growing pains. Miss Romaine decided that the sound of hammers was a wonderful tonic. From 1931-1941 1 felt as though no school would ever be as fine or have the luck I had. At first there were only small, but important changes made, such as the addition of shower rooms, and rest rooms. Then the commercial and English buildings were added. Miss Romaine wasn't yet through; land was purchased for my further ex- pansion. Miss Romaine seemed to think of nothing but me. I felt growing pains all the time, and always she was there to help me. Anyone who ever had any- thing to do with me remembers Miss Romaine with admiration and respect. In 1948 Miss Romaine retired but still thinking of me she left her ideas for my further growth. More classrooms, shops and a new gym were planned for my future. Miss Romaine was my benefactor and I was sorry to see my partner leave. When Mr. James Dent took Miss Romaine's place in 1949, he worked hard to carry out her plans for my future. Mr. Dent was then made superintendent of all of us schools in the Mt. Diablo Unified District and Mr. John Cleary became my new principal. By this time work had begun on my new gymnasium, new classrooms and new shops. They were all opened one fine day in 1950. Some say I'm getting old. It may be true but I don't feel old. I'm expecting to help guide a new school before long. Mr. Dent and his helpers now have plans under way for a new high school in the Pleasant Hill district. ♦ LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. B. Christopher, home- making, faculty fellowship committee: Mrs. A.

President TED KOLB. Vice-President BETTY SAHM. Secretary Seniors of 1951 School history says, Fight, fight hard and win . . . But if you must lose, fight again and win, was always in the minds of the colonizing, pioneer students of our school. Since 1901, many things have happened, but the most memorable is our fun. If a composite picture were made of our activities this year, the little things would be remembered most. The groups at noon, the rush between classes, the hastened greetings, the turmoil before class, the lines at brunch, the last minute cramming, the unsus- pected physics test deliberately slipped in, the problems you have solved and the friends you made will always be important. You will also remember the senior officers: Lloyd Cellini, president; Ted Kolb, vice-president; and Betty Sahm, secretary; who led the class through the year. The first big senior event of the year was the Variety Show. On April 6, the seniors put on the best variety show never staged. The story was about two shipwrecked people, stranded on an island As they wondered what was to be- come of them, their minds slipped into the past, back to their school days. This formed the plot. It was written and directed by John Hayden, Jim Buell, Jeanne Adkins, and Camille Shiddell. Next, there was the Senior Ball, Aloha.” The student body expressed pleasure at the beauty and organization of the dance. The decorations, music, and atmosphere, rhythmically fulfilled the theme. The Senior Banquet, under the direction of Pat Chandler, offered the nicest social gathering of the four years. Nectar and Ambrosia were the chief foods feasted upon. The Senior Picnic, too, was such fun! What made it even better was, the plans were kept a secret to the very last minute; no one knew anything ibout them until it was time to go. What a surprise! Tom Kramer and his committee have since then been known as the secret service. And the highlight of the year was graduation. Amid nostalgic music, diplomas and the traditional caps and gowns. Diablo, for the fiftieth time patted each graduate on the back, wished him good luck, and set him on the straight road ahead.

By 1926. the class had grown to seventy-five and had an efficient government. In addi- tion to the president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, the class today has added a secretary of entertainment, a student representative, and a class yell leader to help govern 350 juniors. The second meeting of the junior class hit the networks with entertainment provided by The Sour Six, Linda Lceffler, Anita Mills. Robert Ruiz, and a brass trio consisting of Wesley Folsom. Dale Holling, and Marvin West. The meeting reached the ether waves via radio station KECC, Pittsburg. The spring semi-formal dance, the Junior Prom, was held in April with a very flowery theme. MRS.

In 1951 the most important event in the Sophomores' year was the Christmas formal, Tinsel Time, held on December 16, 1950. The music sparkled, the decorations glittered, and the crowd was in a festive mood. In the balance cf the year, the class led by John Kramer, president, held regu- lar meetings to keep the Sophomore spirit high, to plan to enlarge the scope of trie class activities tor its last two years, and to prepare an assembly program for the student ooay. The officers tor the year were John Kramer, president; Sandra White, vice- president; Joyce Blainic, secretary; Thomas Jeffry, Sonia White, representatives to Student Council, and Delores Ortega, yell leader. The advisers feel that this class has more spirit and will-to-do than any other class in Diablo. FIRST ROW. l ll to right: Bov Do Beaumont. Virginia Binam. Virginia Fronch, Don- na Coon.

NORMA LAVELLE Adviser An old elementary school housed the fifteen frosh in '01. It is a different story for the four hundred thirty-five freshmen who attend classes in ten buildings on the Diablo Campus today. Early in September the class chose its own Typical Freshman boy and Fresh- man girl, Eddie Fear and Laura Shelley. Freshmen officers to represent and lead them were elected next. Dale Clark was chosen president, Elizabeth Crain, vice- president, and Laura Shelley, secretary. Then the little-big class gave a dance, The Freshman Frolic, where they chose their own king and queen, Freddy Crabaugh and Elizabeth Frederick. For the class most likely to succeed, watch this one, say they. Left to right: Elizabeth Crain. Vi Presi- den Dale Clark, President, Laura Shelley. Secretary. FIRST ROW. left to right: Carol Cook.

Diablo News The Diablo News has been through a complete revolution since the first mimeo- graphed copy appeared in 1923. It has blossomed from a novice publication to a well-rounded, All-American Award edition. This year under a new adviser, Mr. Ray Johnson, it has again undergone re- vision. A new masthead, a changed style, and a varied lay-out have done a face-lifting job to the News. The staff has v orked well under its diligent fall editor, Kay Creer. Jerry Gandy gave directives for the spring editions. The 1950-51 staff included Carolyn Fear, Tom Morgan, Ken Ackerman, and Wanda Uphouse. This group also produced the Diablo Reporter each Wednesday afternoon over Pittsburg's Station KECC. MR. RAY JOHNSON Advli t KAY CREER JERRY GANDY MRS. HELEN LUM Advisor JOAN HARVEY. Editor MAXINE POWELL. Managing Editor Diablo '51 In 1909 the first annual, Acta ' was published by the student body of Mt. Diablo Union High School. Daniel Webster defines acta” as a collection of incidents recorded in a book to remember. Although the classes were small and there were only four graduates, the staff managed to build up the activities and play up the sports, especially track and baseball, until they were combined with stories, poems, and jokes in a glossy publication. It must have been a proud day for that staff when the books came off the press. This year the annual class alone, boasted a number almost equal to the entire 1901 student body. While the Diablo '51 staff worked on deadlines, plans, and schedules, the cubs had their own staff groups who put out weekly competitive papers. It was a year of fun and work. Our golden anniversary staff under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Lum, ad viser, had Joan Harvey, editor; Maxine Powell, managing editor; Jerry Annis, sports editor; Gordon Monroe, assistant sports editor; Sue Beitzel, (division pages) art editor; Buddy De Seims, advertising manager; Stan Dahlin, student photog- rapher; Catherine McKinley, subscription editor; Ronald Williams, assistant sub- scription editor; and Lloyd Cellini, the indispensable leg man for the staff. We hope your Diablo '51 does become an Acta for the students of 1951. The cubs worked on their four individual papers while the staff worked on the yearbook.

A Cappella Gabriel's Angels could have been clothed no finer than the A Cappella Choir this year. Beautiful forest green and crimson have been the vestige of Miss Vera Boyd's A Cappella Choir. They have entertained not only on our campus but have traveled to Acalanes, Concord Elementary, and Ambrose as well as performing for the parents' club. The musical efforts of the choir and its director reached its artistic peak in the annual A Cappella Concert, May 10. They ended their year's work and activities with the final performance at com- mencement exercises, June 15.

Drama The leading stage production of the year was Great Expectations, a dramatization of Charles Dickens' well known 19th century story. The staff, directed by irreplaceable Miss Ethel Van Tassel, consisted of the following people: Ronald Tyler. Pip; John Hayden Joe; Jim Buell, the Convict; Maxine Powell, Estella; Sue Beitzel, Miss Havisham; Catherine McKinley. Biddy; Rod Sanderson, Herbert; Dale Dunham. Mrs. Joe; Mark Blinoff.

Band The Berkeley city limits bump into the Coast Range on the east. If one cannot go up and over, he must go under these hills to get into our valley. That is exactly what happened in 1937 when the low-line tunnel had its grand opening. The Governor of the state invited none other than the Mt. Diablo High School Band to furnish the fanfare. In 1950. when Diablo's new gym plant was opened to students, faculty, and parents, the band was again asked to furnish the fanfare. The crowning glory came when the Mt. Diablo band v on the Best Band award at the annual Walnut Festival Parade last October. For the first time. Diablo had a fully uniformed marching band to maneuver at all football games -—at home as well as out-of-town. It took the expert leadership of Mr. James Arnold to get the uniforms and to produce a top march ing band. The year was rounded out with a Spring Concert in May, and in June the band furnished the music at commencement. On the field the band is led by Drum-Major Norman Kutner, and majorettes Pat Patton. Faith Haviland. and Mary MacEachin. The Diablo 51 opens the pages of its Golden Anniversary Issue with a colored picture of this prize-winning band. Again it is asked to furnish the fanfare. Orchestra If Diablo had had an orchestra in 1901. it wouid undoubtedly have poured its musical talents into After the Ball Was Over. Today s orchestra under the able direction of Mr. James Arnold, does a modem job on a similar tune The Tennessee Waltz. ' Words and music could have so easily been done in 1901 instead of 1951. The outstanding performance of the year for these musicians was furnishing the music for the school’s top play. Groat Expectations. The auditorium pit was jammed with 22 students and their instruments on February 3. for this occasion. Congratulations went to both actors and musicians.

A.L. this year behind Pittsburg and Antioch respectively. Under the direction of Quarterbacks All-CCCAL Tom Little Magician Kramer and Bill Reuter, the potent offense, racked up a total of 188 points to top all other CCCAL teams. Leading the scorers in the league was fullback Paul Johnson, who scored 5 T.D.'s and smashed over for three conversions for a total of 33 points in league play and 65 for the season. Kramer had several hard hitting backs he could depend upon at all times in Johnson, Ollie McClay, Milt Honea, who was elected honorary captain, and Phil Vizcarra. This group of rambling Devils was about the most feared backfield in the area. Our line was fortunate this year in having the former St. Mary's college great A1 Beasley to tutor them in line play. Although green at the beginning of the year our line did surprisingly well against much heavier and more experienced lines. On the ends we had All-CCCAL Jerry Annis, Ted Kolb, Pat Crevelt, and Skip Schultz taking turns catching passes and stopping end runs. The tackle slots were held down by Jerry Gandy, Gordon Monroe, Johnny Gonzaga, and Ben Walker, who also, when called upon, played end and center. At the guard post were four of the best guards in the county as far as all around playing went. They were A1 Luiselli, Pete Vienna, Gill Gaunt, and Don West. The center spot was handled by Bob Dittmore and Carl Tilten. This year Ditt- more, a veteran, played brilliantly in the first five games until he was stricken with a serious leg infection which held him on the sidelines for the remainder of the season. But Tilten ably came through to fill the gap and prove himself a fine center. A1 Beasley Gar Bautista Art Poulin Jim Millard VARSITY—FIRST ROW. left to right: Jack Jardine, Bill Reuter.

Junior Varsity Coach Dick Miller's powerful J.V. squad glided through the season with only two losses this year, which went to a strong Sacramento team 26 to 6. and a lucky Piedmont eleven 14 to 6. The little Devils defeated every one in the league by large scores which indicates there are going to be a lot of Varsity games won in the future since most of the team is made up of promising Sophomores. The high-light of the season came when the Imps crushed the flashy Pittsburg Pirates 33 to 24 in a thrill-a-minute game which red and green fans will remember for some time. In other league games the Imps routed Alhambra 20 to 6, blanked Acalanes 40 to 0 and de- cisively beat Antioch 23 to 7. PITTSBURG—Well, let it go, Paul! ANTIOCH Phil i oil lor pay dirt!

Senior LES WILLIAMS, Head Basketball Coach ART POULIN, B Basketball Coach Basketball Highlighting the sports scene at Diablo this year was Coach Les Williams' C. C. C. A. L. Championship Basketball Team, who not only went through the county circuit undefeated but also turned back all opposition in the post-season tournament to capture that crown as well. These great showings by the strong Red Devils earned them the honor to represent the C. C. C. A. L. in the Tournament of Champions held at the Uni- versity of California in Berkeley March 8, 9, and 10 v here they fought their way into the semi- finals but lost out to a strong St. Ignatious quintet. This Devil cage team was perhaps the most colorful in years as they came from behind in six or seven of their contests in the final minutes of play to defeat their rival quintets. The closest of these thrillers was against the Acalanes Dons when forward, Lee Anderson, potted a last sec- ond 30 foot field goal to edge them 53-52. This great Red and Green team was made up solely of seniors who have played together now for at least four years. The forward positions were held down by high scoring Chuck Frank who scored 253 points in 19 games, little Lee Anderson who was a con- stant threat to all opposition with his dead-eye shots, and Ollie McClay, the speedy ball hand- ler, who saved more than one game for the Devils during the season. At the center position was Tom Kramer with his great defensive play and rebounding ability along with a knack for sinking shots when they were most needed. The guard posts were filled by the same two veterans that held them down last year, Jerry Annis and Johnny Williams. These two showed up in backboard control as well as their holding opposing stars to a minimum of points. When the C. C. C. A. L. all-county selections came out, Chuck Frank made the first team while Johnny Williams landed a berth on the second team. Lee Anderson, Jerry Annis, Tom Kramer, and Ollie McClay earned honorable mention honors. Led by all-county Forward Dick Brown, the Bee team earned a respectable third place in county standings this year losing only two very close games to Albany and John Swett. The other Imps that earned recognition on the mythical all-county teams, were Len Car- doza on the second squad, and Marv McKean on the third. A SQUAD FIRST ROW. loll lo right: Chunk Robbms. Wayne- !

Baseball Coach Ending the 1950 baseball season in second place, the Red Devils won two games out of four, after the Annual went to press, beating Pittsburg in a close game 5 to 4, and taking Concordia 7 to 4. The following week we lost two games—one to Alhambra 2-0, and Concordia 12 to 4. This year the Devils look good, taking their first three games, Concordia 10-8, Richmond 6-1, Alhambra 5-1, then losing to Richmond 3-7, and Liberty 2-1. Coach Jim Millard has two very good teams. Each is capable of playing real varsity ball. Coach Millard has eight returning lettermen on his squad. They are Paul Stafford, Cal Porter, Lee Anderson, Lloyd Cellini, Phil Vizcarra, Harry Price, Larry Minshell, Dick Brown; coming up from the J.V. squad are Buck Keith, David Moose, Dick Grund, Jim Miller, Marvin Lloyd, and Whitey Samarzeya. With these boys, Jim Millard should have a club that v ill be hard to beat. FIRST ROW. left to right: Bill Manzer. Terry Taylor, Jay Sims, David Dowti. Ernie Mattlock. Dennis McCosh.

Track Carrying on the old tradition of strong track teams at Diablo, the 1950 Devil thincladders landed a respectable second place position in the county. So far it looks as though the tradition v ill be upheld again this year, as the Devils are undefeated upon going to press. Last year at the beginning of the season Coach Phil O'Neil felt that he didn't have much in the way of a track squad, but after the first two meets it seems that unexpected talent is showing in many events, so the Red and Green v ill again be strong contenders for the C.C.C.A.L. Track Crown v hich v ill be awarded at the annual Contra Costa County Track and Field Championship Meet to be held at Acalanes on May 5. After three meets the roster shapes up in this manner: 120 yd.
