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.
