Some folks call it the best time of your life, dear. Others nod sagely and moan softly, now you're in for it. For four years we've worked and played together. Some of us have learned a good deal, some not so much. There have been parties, and plays, good times and bad times, and of course, homework and exams. But what's in store for us after graduation on June 13th? We will be released from an educational institution with the rapidity of bal- loons cut from their strings. We're on our own and are about ready for the adult world. This is the point that scares us and makes others feel sorry for us. We might as well forget the scare stuff and sorry angles. There'll be military training for sure, but maybe it'll do us some good. Jobs ahead will probably be dull but there are lots of chances for fun and excitement. Future undecided? You're right, but fortune-telling never stands up under scrutiny. Your first breath was uncertain and it'll probably be like that for some time. A lot of wonderful people may give us the benefit of their mistakes and the results of their research, and if we recog- nize this advice, we'll probably listen. So cheer up! Let's look at the bright side of things. Twenty years from now we can look back and grin. Life isn't as bad as we thought it was. SENIOR ADVISERS 20 MRS. BARBARA STRUTZ MR. GEORGE PERRY MRS.

NICK CRETAN. President TEDDIE VAIL, Secretary HERB HONEA. Vice President JUNIORS It was a night of gaiety and fun for all who came in from the pelting rain. For- tunes were told, and games of chance were played. Dancing, booths, food, door prizes, and a special program were furnished. The Campus Sweetheart, Dolores Barnes, and her attendants, Barbara Garrison, Jerry Buffo, Clarisse LeDuc, and Cherie Seaman, were crowned and they reigned over this night of festivity. Yes, it was the Junior Carnival, held on December 1, 1951. General chairmen were Nick Cretan and Teddie Vail. The hard-working committee chairmen were: Pub- licity—Colette Morgan, Dale Dunham, and Tommy Wentling; Booths—Tom Jef- fry and Mary Lou Seaman; Tickets—Milt Abel and Joyce Blatnic; Construction— Mickey Taylor and Larry Minshall; Campus Sweetheart Contest—Cathy Ray- mond, Karen Maderos, and Herb Honea; Entertainment—Dolores Ortega and Willy Shafto; Dance—Elaine de Benedetti and Jack Thorpe; Cleanup—Carroll Pollack and Jerry Ziedler; and Food—Alan Lindsay and Russ Copeland. The members of the class worked like real ''devils, and the advisers. Mrs. Marian Early and Mr. Bill Gingrich, as construction engineers, wielded brooms and dragged trailers of equipment to and from the gym. The Juniors again showed their ability to put on a good show when they pre- sented their Talent Show for an assembly in October. There was a solo by Esmie Omania, a folk dance by Teddie Vail and Ronnie Heinzel, a comedy act by Joyce Blatnic, the Terrific Trio, a tap dance by Roberta Victor, the Melody Boys Orchestra, and the Can Can Girls with their rivals, the Belles of Diablo. to wind up the hilarious forty minutes. In April the Juniors hit the deck with their semi-formal Junior Prom, Nep- tune's Ball. No one needed to look through the quartz windows of a bathysphere to see and enjoy the dancing on the floor of Davy Jones' Locker. 40 It was a remembering year —it was a good year for the Juniors.

SOPHOMORES Remember how proud you felt when you put on the Frosty Sno-Ball ? And how everyone admired the Sophomore Latin club booth at the Junior Carnival and how your advisers, Mrs. Norma Lavelle and Mr. Morton Ely, helped you through the year 1951 and 1952? These were top Sophomore activities. Next year you will need this same pride and know-how” to put on the Junior Car- nival and the Junior Prom. Your officers for the year were Eugene Ruyle. Dale Clark and Bobby Larson to fill the offices of president, vice-president and secretary of your class. You've learned the ways of the bee this year. You know the names of the drones and the names of the workers. Next year's officers should be easy to choose. You have two more years of growing to do before you leave Diablo. Enjoy them, Sophs, and may Diablo enjoy you. 44 FIRST ROW. left lo right: Sheila Carmichael. Clara Chapel, Pat Arneson. Louise Bruce. Bobbie Sue Brown, Dolly Brown. Betty Crain.

Y.ce-Pres:den! GLENDA GRIFFIN. Secretary FRESHMEN If you see some little Devils running around with their pitchforks in hand, they're bound to be Freshmen. But don't worry, they won't harm you unless you are guilty of dropping paper or banana peels. When the Freshmen came to school last fall, they brought with them the real spirit of giving. Ninety per cent of the class volunteered for Freshman Cleanup. This service they offered their school enthusiastically. In turn, the school paid recognition to the traditional Freshman typicals and Freshman royalty. The Freshman big dance, Dinky Devils. was held on October 27, Lowell Alder- son, student body president, crowned David Lauffer and Carolyn Lavattiata, traditional Freshman King and Queen in a glamorous setting. The Diabloid, formerly the Diablo News, chose Cherie Seaman and Rodney Sexton as this year's typical Freshman girl and boy. They gave them a front page story and picture in the edition. George Stoner was elected president; Tom Ready, vice-president; Glenda Griffin, secretary; Philip Chavez, representative; and Darlinda Bartee, yell leader. They had as their capable class advisers, Mrs. Norma White and Mr. Jack Ferrari. FIRST ROW. leit to right: Bovorly Bollman, Roborta Burton, Donita Bastian. Ro- setta Boson.

D I A B L O I D Tradition was abandoned this year when the old Diablo News died. In its place rose the DIABLOID, brainchild of Mr. Ray Johnson's Journalism class. A new name, smaller format, a modern style, and many more pictures keynote the success of the new paper. The name Diabloid results from a combination of the words ''Diablo'' and tabloid. The new tabloid-sized paper has proved popular and serviceable and is here to stay. Among the many activities sponsored by the Diabloid staff during the 1951- 1952 school term were the second annual Night of Music, a musical show composed of the best school talent; the printing of football and basketball pro- grams as a service to the students; a staff banquet; and scripts and news for Diablo Reporter, Diablo's own news program over KECC each Wednesday night. Editors Anna Molinaro and Crane Walden contributed time and effort to make the Diabloid a success. Outstanding senior staff members include: Bob Hilder, Sam Seals, John Ruyle, Pat Gouveia, Jerry Maker, and Norm McMillan. Mr. Ray Johnson, Diabloid adviser.

Maybe our attempts are not worth the ten thousand words which the Chinese proverb would lead us to be- lieve, but we wanted to index your memories for the school year of 1951-1952. Darrell Grover, your editor, has attempted to show you how big and crowded we are, as well as how we learn and have fun. Early in the year, Marilyn Tibbitts created her monster posters for our subscription campaign; Tappy Lum has worn his shoulders. down with the camera case, trying to catch the fleeting moments of school life when Hal Matson hasn't CUB MEMBERS OF DIABLO '52 FIRST ROW, lelt to right: Peggy Ritchie, Patt Funk, Jackie Jones, oan Bo’on.

Any member of our class who has had a car or jalopy has chauffeured hither and yon to sell our wares. When one of these ambassadors of good-selling has returned with a wallet full of ads, there has been loud rejoicing in room 53 Academic. (High man gets a free annual.) Then there is the group of ground workers who com- piled lists of names and classes as well as place of being during period 5, for files. The whole class took part in the creation of Diablo '52. We have enjoyed assembling your book; we hope you will enjoy owning your book. You may not boliovo it. but there are stall members behind the monster masks! Form, line, and color may be exaggerated or sim- plified to create unlimited variations as demonstrat- ed in the exhibits on the wall. In Mr. Bianchi's applied art classes, design is used to create useful objects of ceramics, clay, wood, and textiles. A CAPPELLA CHOIR The A Cappella Choir, composed of ninety members and directed by Miss Boyd, acts as one of the school's most important ambassadors-of-good-will. In- vitations to perform come constantly from the four comers of the county. Diablo might do well to have an agency set up for our musicians. This year's choir did a Christmas program, a spring concert, and a graduation program, plus outside appearances. Diablo is proud to present them, proud to hear them, and proud to name them our ''Singing Angels'' even though they are known as ''Devils.''

Mr. Wyman Spalding, drama teacher and new sponsor of Sword and Bauble Honor Dramatic Society, has taken pains to expand the drama department. Sword and Bauble in- creased its membership from eight members to forty-three members at the close of Semester I. Also a new club has been started for those interested in stagecraft. During the fall semester Seventeenth Summer by Mau- reen Daly, sponsored by Sword and Bauble, was presented to the student body. A fine job of double casting was done. The leads were portrayed by Mary Lou Seaman and Nata- lie Bales as Angie, and Bob Burrows as Jack.

Diablo's marching band added three first-place trophies to the trophy case. It was awarded top honors in the annual Redman's Pow Wow parade, the Walnut Festival parade and the Walnut Festival Field Competition. This is the second consecutive year that the band has taken the Festival award. To add to the prestige, the band was invited to represent Santa Clara Uni- versity at two of their football games—the Santa Clara-University of California and the University of San Francisco games. The band is under the able direction of Mr. James Arnold. ORCHESTRA Our school is credited with having one of the few remaining high school orchestras in this area. Mr. Arnold stated that this is the most talented orchestra he had ever con- ducted! In addition to presenting a student body assembly, the orchestra was chosen to play at the official dedication of the new Gregory Gardens Grammar School.

OUR COACHES This year's coaching staff has atomic qualities. With eight competent coaches such as these, some human athletic bombs should make the news this year. Coach Rod Franz, three times All-American from Cal, heads the football coaching staff. He is ably assisted by Dick Fairclough and John Ralston, also from Cal. Coach Dick Miller led our J.V.'s through a most successful sea- son. Not to be outdone, Darv Bautista led the miniatures (frosh) through a season of tries and dies. On the cage scene, Coach Les Williams managed to build up a very sound team with not one veteran first- string man there to start the season. Last year our track team did not get the county cham- pionship, but talent aplenty was discovered which should help Rod Franz in his training of the thin-clads this year. John Ralston, head baseball coach, was gratified by the year's large turnout this year for the great Ameri- can sport. He is replacing Jim Millard, who is this year's tumbling coach. Art Poulin will direct the sport of Neptune again this year. He ran up a series of wins last year, and in '52 should duplicate the compliments of '51.

JUNIOR VARSITY Th© J.V.'s did it again this year by coming through without a loss, to cop the C.C.C.A.L. J.V.'s championship. Th© mighty J.V. defense allowed but 24 points to be scored upon them, while their crushing offense scored 137 points. The next year's Imps have quite a record to live up to with two years' championships in a row. FROSH SQUAD The Frosh had a rough time this year as they lost two games and won but one all year. They lost a hard-fought battle to the Pittsburg J.V. Reserve and Frosh 20-0, and another to the Amador Lions Frosh 18-6. Their sole win was against the San Ramon Frosh 20-0, on the San Ramon home field. The Frosh, although on the small side, played exceptionally well, fought all the way, and never gave up. They were gallant little guys. FROSH FOOTBALL TEAM FIRST ROW, leit to right: Frod Cree. Richard Lucky, Bob Wallace, Jim Blackburn, Roger Lee, Ronald Baldwin.

Diablo Red Devils of Concord invaded Crockett to battle with the John Swett In- dians in the initial contest of the C.C.C.A.L. season. After the final gun had sounded and the last player had limped to the dressing room, the scoreboard read 20-19 in favor of the inexperienced Red Devils. ANTIOCH vs. MT. DIABLO—Mt. Diablo, after squeaking by the week before by a single point, met the Antioch Panthers on their home field and dumped them by a 26-2 margin. PITTSBiJRG vs. MT. DIABLO—In the third game of the season the Diablo Devils bowed down to the mighty Pittsburg Pirates to the tune of 34 to 0 at Concord. Although scrapping all the way from the starting whistle to the last buzzer, the Devils could not crack the winning combina- tion of the Pittsburg Four Horsemen, Brigges, Lawson, Dawson and Comera, who dug out 34 points from the Devils' defense. MT. DIABLO vs. ACALANES—In the battle for the number two place, Diablo Red Devils lost its second game of the season to the Acalanes Dons, 13-0, in a hard-fought game at the Diablo stadium. In losing that game we relinquished our right to the perpetual trophy set up between the two schools. ALHAMBRA vs. MT. DIABLO—After taking a trouncing in the previous games, the Diablo Devils looked for revenge when they invaded Martinez. They succeeded—the score 39-13. ALBANY vs. MT. DIABLO—In the final game of the season, Diablo's Devils clashed with the Albany Cougars in one of the wettest games ever played in Diablo's history. When the players wiped the mud from their eyes at the final gun's sound, they could see the scoreboard giving the Red Devils a margin. The score—26-6. }� T ft 4 The opponent leads with a right.

BASKETBALL VARSITY A sauad of raw recruits fought out the 1951-52 season under the coaching of Les Williams. Not one single returning letter- man greeted him at the beginning of the season; only promising Sophomores, Jun- iors, and Seniors. Although the team lacked much season- ing and experience, Mr. Williams was proud of the performance his men dis- played under the strong opposition en- countered. The talent displayed by a variety of young stars in the present season, how- ever, showed promise of stiff competition for our opponents next year.

Its im- portance was to help give the coaches a better idea of the matorial at hand. In the three mile relay, tho Seniors soon overcame their handicap and crossed the finish line ahead of their lower classmen. Paul Egbert, an outstanding athlete of northern California, has gained many points for the team throughout its seasonal meets. Although Paul has the ability to compote in most all of the events, he favors the broad jump which is around twenty-one feet. Ho throws the discus 129 feet and can run tho 220-yard dash in 22.4 seconds. Felis Lujan is one of the bost long distance runners Diablo has ever had, while Wayne Coppock stars in tho polo vault. In the 880-yard dash (which is one of the toughest events in track) Buck Keith and Dick Burrows have won their spurs. For sprinters, Dick Omania and John McKelvey woro out- standing Seniors.

SWIMMING A strong and well precisioned swimming group coached by Art Poulin has made a fine showing in the season's meets. Highlights of the Varsity Squad have been a medley relay team composed of Gordon Whisler, Jerry Tahira and Bill Kahrs, while in the diving department is Wayne Coppock, Senior. Two members of the B” squad, Larry and Monty Ellis, hold two high school records. Monty holds the Class B 100-yard breast stroke, and Larry holds the Class B individual medley. These two brothers together with other prospects should furnish another great team for Art Poulin in 1953. Junior Frogmen Chuck James. Dave Wilson. Spasms of splashes are made by Bill Kahrs.

Benefiting from two more practice matches with Benicia and Modesto, Diablo scored a 5-0 win over Albany, the first league match, on March 28. Carlos Pancho Gonzales, number 'T' man for Diablo, has been undefeated and played in the North Coast section in June. Carlos, over the last two years of play, has gained that professional polish which is much needed in tennis. His smashing serves, ball placements, and net play are kept at perfection throughout the year. Adrian Bobby Riggs and Jim Gonzales complete the first string trio. Riggs, the only left handed player on the squad, has upset his opponents with this advantage. Big Jim shows promise of the good all around tennis playing that his brother exhibits. Adrian Riggs, Pancho Gonzales, and Art Jacobsen, a fine player who started late in the season, are all graduating Seniors. ’“Big Jim Gonzales gels set CotIos exhibits a perfect for his opponont s serve. backhand placement.
