FOREWORD This is Danny Devil, mascot of Diablo High. The Staff invites you to take a tour with Danny through this Diablo '53. Follow him and he will lead you through the halls, into our c'asses and activities. We hope you will enjoy your trek. DEDICATION This year the annual staff reflects the feeling of Diablo students in dedicating our yearbook to Mrs. Helen Lum. Every student who has come under her wing has benefited from knowing this teacher who is a special combination of gentlewoman and pal. We are proud to have had our names on her roll book. With her journalistic eyes she has not only advised the annual staff, but has also taken over the rigorous job of the newspaper class this year. To you—Helen Lum—the staff of the Diablo '53 dedicates this yearbook. MR. ARTHUR BLOOM Vic -Pr!nc!p«l MR. FERD DIEL Principal PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE The annual recognizes the work and activities of all the students in the school, but especially does it honor the graduating seniors. The graduating class of '53 is the largest ever to graduate from Diablo. In it are students who have attended school together for twelve years while others may have been in the school system for one year. In these twelve years of schooling the seniors have learned from their texts, from each other and from their teachers. They have learned to prepare themselves for various professions or other occupations. While attending school they have been influenced or affected by a variety of problems which have faced them as they grew up. All the experiences undergone in school and out of school have been instru- mental in preparing the members of the graduating class better to take their adult place as active citizens in this or in other communities. As graduating seniors it is good to reflect about the opportunities you have had. about the teachers that have influenced you. about the friends that you have made. In leaving Diablo you will leave with mixed feelings, some of you will be happy to leave and some of you will be sad. The important thing to remember is that you are not com- pleting your education. No matter whether you go into an occupation or into an advanced school, learning continues and your ability to profit from it will determine your growth. It is hoped that while at Diablo you have learned to discriminate well, to weigh carefully, and to judge wisely in whatever field of life you are going. May good fortune be with you at all times. F.

PARENTS' CLUB The Mount Diablo Parents’ f Club was formed for the first time five years ago and has provided the extras that are so dear to the hearts of the students. For the last three years they have given a midnight supper and entertainment after the Senior Ball. Officers for this year are: E. Carleton White. President; George Souder. Vice-Presi- dent; Mrs. Marshall McKean, Rec.ording Secretary; Mrs. Carl Lais, Corresponding Secretary: Mrs. George Breen. Treasurer; and Mrs. Etta Senger. Auditor. QUAD The Quad was an original idea of the Parents' Club. This project when completed in the spring will be the scene of many activities. Parents have donated both money and time to the proj- ect. Here are some pictures of the Quad in construction. The Parents’ Club has pro- vided a hot dog stand named Devils Den and two coffee urns to keep the customers warm. Parents are always provid- ers. but when they club to- gether as have our parents here at Mount Diablo High School, we are extremely for- tunate students.

Diablo High by being one of seventy-seven high school grid stars throughout the United States to be chosen on the 1952 All-America High School football squad. Bill is the first Diabloan ever to be so honored, and the whole school tips its hat to him. 2. The class activities—from Career Day in March on through the Variety Show, the Banauet. the Picnic, and finally the Senior Ball in May—all went smoothly and provided a host of happy memories for us to look back upon.

JUNIORS If this years' junior class is any indication of what is in store for Diablo juniors in the future it is more than evident that they will be one of the most spirited classes at Diablo. Among the things the juniors have done this last year, probably the Junior Carnival will be remembered longest. Despite the rain and cold, hundreds of our students filled the decorated gym for the gala affair. Undoubtedly you have tried to go through a wrong door at some time during the year and have been stopped by one of the Junior Traffic Patrol. These juniors on the patrol have added greatly to keeping you on the right side of the road. Have you ever stopped to think what a jam it would be with students of all shapes and sizes trying to go through the same door in opposite directions? CLASS ADVISERS MR. BIL GINGRICH MRS.

FURY DALLA FRESHMEN The Freshmen Service Committee tops all working groups this year in number and activity. These first year gremlins may be seen any day riding, hoisting or propelling the red and green refuse cans onto the trailer en route to the disposal spot. They do it with a good will, this business of keeping our campus clean. At the end of the school year, pins were awarded to the exceptional workers. On the social side, there was a frosh dance called the Kandy Kane Kapers, where Jim Freiderick and Jerry Warren were crowned Freshman King and Kween. In October, Ken Pine and Betty Garrison were picked as typical freshman boy and girl of the school year. The class elected as their officers. Tom Barclay, president; Virginia De Benedetti, secretary; Denny Coffee, vice-president; and Richard Alford, representative. The other activity which the class entered into with enthusiasm was their February program given for the assembly.

This year the Rally Committee, with the aid of Danny Devil and advisers Mr. Hart Fairclough, Mr. Wyman Spaulding, and Miss Miriam Robbins, have succeeded in not only cheering on a win- ning football team, but have proven that Mt. Diablo really has the spirit and pep that a school should have. A sportsmanship trophy was awarded to Mt. Diablo because of the cooperation and spirit that the cheering sections gave to the five terrific yell leaders.

ROD FRANZ Varsity Coach JOHN RALSTON Backfiald Coach HENRY GUSTAFSON Head J.V. Coach MT. DIABLO RED DEVIL VARSITY The Red Devils of 1952 came through with the first undefeated team since 1938. Not only an undefeated team, but a Co-Championship team with the Pittsburg Pirates. The Devils won their first two practice games by scores of 13-0 and 19-7, against the Alameda Hornets and the Oakland Wildcats. The Red Devils went into the Albany tilt riding on the crest of their two recent vic- tories and came throuqh 51-6. Our next league encounter was against the John Swett Indians, in which our fullback Bill Edelman scored all three touchdowns, with Dick Towers bowling home two extra points. The Antioch Panthers were next to fall under the Diabloans' blanket of victory by the close score of 12-6. Then it was time for the Pittsburg game. Both the clubs were undefeated in the league play and up to game time the Red Devils were favored. The fighting Devils boomed to three quick scores and one conversion to lead at the half 19-0. But the Red and Green faltered in the last quarter and came out. not the winners, but as a heartbreaking 19-19 tie, which all but cinched a Co-Championship. HART FAIRCLOUGH J.V.

FROSH FOOTBALL SQUAD Although the Frosh Squad did not show much in the scoring department or the win- ning department, they did show something which should make loyal Diabloans proud. They showed good old-fashioned determination and fortitude. The Frosh Squad was seriously lacking in equipment and many boys went without helmets for at least half the season. But they all stayed and played hard. They dropped two games to Amador High, 26-0 and 12-0. LEAGUE GAMES The “Big Red Machine crushed the Albany Cougars 51 to 6 in the League opener played at Albany. The Devils scored every time they had the ball. Devil captains were Jack McCaffrey and Tom Jeffry. The Franzmen scalped the John Swett Indians 20 to 0 in the second League game played at Diablo. It was an even first half, with Diablo finally pulling ahead and going on to score twice in the second half. The game cap- tain was Mickey Taylor. The Devils got their first scare when the Panthers nearly nipped them in a tight game played at Diablo. The Panthers led at the end of the first half 6 to 0. but were set back in the second half when the Devils crashed across the goal for two scores. The game ended Diablo 12, Antioch 6. The Diablo team captains were Delamater and Towers. The Big Game was exciting. In the opening play Diablo took the kickoff and romped 59 yards for the first score of the game. Again in the latter moments in the second guarter, Diablo completed a pass for their second touchdown. At the end ot the first half the score stood 13 to 0 and remained till the last few minutes of the third quarter. Diablo completed a pass for their second touchdown. At the end of the third quarter the Pirates suddenly caught fire. The game captains were Bill Edelman. Manuel Gonzaga. and Norm Walker. In one of our last games, the Franzmen rolled over Acalanes with a sur- prising 39-0 score. Although the Dons were within striking distance a couple of times, their attempts were foiled by the hard-hitting Diablo team. The captains were Howard Schultz and Tom Jeffry. In the Lucifers' last game they literally crushed the Alhambra Bulldogs with a 64-0 score. It was in this game that big Bill Edelman pushed across six touchdowns to better the record set twelve years ago. The team cap- tains were Bob Lee and Bill Edelman. RED DEVIL VARSITY BASKETBALL Although the '52-'53 season was not overly successful, loyal Diablo rooters did see quite a few bang-up ball games, such as the Albany game played at Albany, which Diablo lost in the closing moments 36 to 35. Another close one was the Antioch game in which Diablo again lost in the waning moments 43 to 42. The Alhambra game was a pip, with the Devils coming out on top this time 47 to 41. And the ensuing fight caused all relations to be cut off with Alhambra. Bob Dickerson and Dick Frechette were the only two senior regulars on the Devil quintet. Bob plays center, and was constantly a high scorer. Dick played a forward position and had a 7-point average in all the league games. Another senior was Whitey Samarzeya. Although he didn't play too much, he was always ready and able to help when needed. The other three regulars were juniors, Don Landrum at one forward, and Fred Crabaugh and Marv McKean at guards. Those returning regu- lars, bolstered by the presence of Harry Haley and Ed Ruiz, will probably form the nucleus of the next year’s squad. Bob Dickerson, c Fr«ddi Crabaugh. q Mary McKaan. f Dick Frachatta. q Don Landrum, f Whitay Samarxaya J. B. Sims, f Paul Buckmann. q Sid Smith, c Ronald Baldwin, q Roqar Powell, q Dorsey Allison, f B TEAM The Diablo B's had some very tough luck this season, winning 6 while losing 9. This year they have a new coach. Mr. Henry Gustafson. The team would never give up, no matter what the score was. They would fight from the starting whistle to the final buzzer, win, lose, or draw. Diablo rooters were proud of their B team. At the beginning of this year Mr. Gustafson was faced with the prob- lem of picking the boys best suited for his B team. He soon found that perhaps the biggest problem he was confronted with was lack of experi- ence. As the season went on, these greenhorns accumulated the necessary experience and are now ready to join the A team of next year. To mention a few of the boys who will probably be playing A ball next year are J. Sims. R. Powell, Sid Smith. Ron Baldwin, and George Allison.

JUNIOR VARSITY BASEBALL Diablo's junior varsity, coached by Jack Lockett, is looking forward to a very suc- cessful season this year with one win and one loss under their belt so far in the yet young season. The first game, a non-league game, was lost to the Richmond Oilers by a score of 9 to 6. However, when the C.C.C.A.L. got under way the young Devils showed their potential strength by whipping the Acalanes Dons by a score of 3 to 2. The following boys are expected to return next year and will probably make up the nucleus for the A squad next season: Dan Colchico, Dick LaPlante, Ron Baldwin, Bob Hartsten, Dick Egan, Charles Paul, and Terry Taylor. Members of the Junior Varsity Baseball Taam are. FIRST ROW. laft to right: Dick Egan. Roger Lea, Paul Buckmann, Rodney Sexton. Bob Hartsten. Dan Colchico. Ed Ulrich. Marlon Henvit.

THIRD ROW: Gaunt. Dalamatar, Walkar. Frachatta. Himsl, Millar. Jamai. Krowal. TRACK Coaches Rod Franz and Hart Fairclough have a bright outlook for the Diablo sprinters this year. A lot of their confidence is due to the fact that they have twelve returning lettermen on the squad this year. So far in the season Wimpy Delamater and Bob Dickerson have been the standouts among the fast maturing track squad. In the traditional class-relay this year, the juniors finally achieved glory by beating the other three classes and running off with the relay championship which has been held by the seniors since the start of the inter-class relays. Gaunt ha already tat a record with hit smile but now he't et a record with his pole. Wimpy Delamater winds up for the tost. Dave Krowel steps a low hurdle.

The tank team of 1953 is one of the finest Coach Art Poulin has yet had. and it will be his last coaching job at Diablo. Next year Mr. Poulin will be P. E. director at Loma Linda High (Pleasant Hills). The outstanding Varsity splashers this year include: Jim MacDermut in the 50 free: Hap Wilson in the 200 free: John Bengston in the 100 breast- stroke: Bill Hunt, Jerry Cottingham. Ray Peterson and Stan Lauderback in the 200 freestyle relay, and Larry Ellis in the 100 backstroke. In the tadpole division, the Devil Bees also are strong this year. The standouts on the Bee team include: Montey Ellis in the 100 breaststroke: Howard Kennerson in the 50 freestyle, and Bill Whisler in the 50 back. The Varsity divers who demonstrated much promise this year include: Claude Promessi, Louis Goodall. Bob Girdvain and Steve Ritchie, who by the way will be diving for the Varsity again next year. The little Devils also demonstrated championship form this year. The trio of divers include: Dorsey Allison. George Morehouse and Gary Soderer. The Varsity frogmen began a good season by sinking Livermore with a score of 47-27. The tadpoles also drenched Livermore Cowboys with a score of 47-14. Next year both the little Devils and the Varsity will show the experience that they obtained during the 1953 season, for there are quite a few expe- rienced swimmers returning next year.

This is clearly seen by noting the large turnout of boys eager to learn this art. The first meet for the B tumblers resulted in a close finish and the Diablo squad came out on top with a score of 45' 2 to James Liclc of San Jose's 44l 2- Some of the outstanding point gainers for the Diablo squad were Charles Cox, Bill Rood. Eddie Fear, Tom La France, and Benny Venturino. Walt Kaiser, one of the most promising tumblers at Diablo, broke his arm early in the season and was forced to drop out of active participation for the year. Coach Jim Millard is building a lot of his hopes for next year's squad around Eugene Ruyle who, according to Coach Millard, is one of the most promising tumblers in the county. He has great hopes for Walt Kaiser. TUMBLING TEAM FIRST ROW. left to right: Tom La Franco. Roger Phillips. Bill Rood. Larry Blits. Charles Cox. Bob Cohunt, John Clayton. Carl Struby.

Jerry Bensen. one of the best singles players at Diablo, has the added good fortune of being Don's nephew. With Jerry’s natural talent, and coaching from an uncle like Budge, who knows, maybe someday we’ll have a national champ who hails from good old Diablo High.

It takes brawn as well as brains to struggle through the vigorous activities of the Girls’ P.E. department. Miss Jesse Falconer heads the department, while three new teachers have been added to the roster—Miss Janice Beanston, Miss Sylvia Zeitlan and Miss Lynn Hayes. The feminine athletes of Diablo have en- joyed being directed by these teachers in badminton, volleyball, softball, body me- chanics, and basketball. Miss Beanston advises the G.A.A. while Miss Betty Blankenship is the adviser for the dance committee. Modern dance still rates particularly high with the girls because of attractive Miss B’s rhythmical directions. Tha girlt' P.E. taachart, M!u Sylvia Zaitlan.
