Diablo High—born 1901. Through a half century of progress and adjust- ment, its many buildings (some of which are far from the most modern) center campus life to meet modern standards. This year Mt. Diablo students extended a hand of approval toward the new judiciary system complete with Chief Justice, prosecuting committee, and judiciary committee, and thus student government took a significant stride. The Student Body Constitution underwent a “facelifting job in order that there might be more class participation in activities. To enliven interest in basketball season, musical entertainment was premiered by the “Strawhatters'' in the Gymnasium. Mt. Diablo was a pioneer of the Western high schools in its attempt to record the school’s year on a Telebook. Even the seniors were no longer content to hold to the theme of their annual Senior Variety Show. They presented an Extravaganza, “Carnival Capers. Our rich heritage fom past Diablo years has been enriched this year, 54-55, and changed by the life process of adding new traditions to the old traditions.

Under his leadership, the Rally Committee has profited from his refreshing ideas. The card stunts . . . our song leading Devilettes . . . changing league rules to permit bands at basketball games ... all these were the result of his efforts. In whatever field he participates: as a teacher, adviser, or coach, he does so with the utmost enthusiasm 5 Or. Fard Olal it now computing hit fourth yaar at our principal. principals message The twentieth century has shown progress in numer- ous areas, including among others, increased produc- tion. improved products, medical advances, better and quicker methods of transportation and communi- cation. as well as in a keener understanding of man's conduct among men. It is important to understand that these accom- plishments have become possible only because of the knowledge and experience accumulated in preceding centuries. As an outgrowth of the progress made, people are better acquainted with traditions and conditions in the rest of the world. To benefit from each other's experiences it becomes necessary for people to de- velop tolerance and understanding. It seems then that there is actually more need now than ever before for people to develop a proficiency in the basic tools of learning (reading, writing, and arithmetic) and in the art of being able to work and get along with others. Only by doing this can youth of today understand the past and also become an active member of the modern world of tomorrow. DR.

Diablo Unified School District and a large increase in the number of high school students. To meet this qrowth new schools are needed. Next fall 400 Diablans will be transferred to the new high school in the northern part of our district. As the years roll on. new high schools will be constructed in the Clayton Valley and Ygnacio Valley areas. Mt. Diablo High School will continue to be a large school as the new campuses are being developed. It is expected that the present Diablo enrollment of 2,200 students will increase to 2,800 or more within the next ten years. By that time there will be five high schools in our district, and many new adjustments will have had to be made. It is hoped that Mt. Diablo High will continue to maintain the traditionally high standards of sports- amnship, scholarship, and citizenship which have pre- vailed through the years. Mt. Diablo must be the big brother of our new schools and continue to set the example for the rest of the district.

One remembers the people, but one also re- members the buildings which housed the people and their activities. So it is with Diablo. Each building cups a memory for you. Maybe for you and you it's a lab in the Science Building, or a tool room in the Shop Buildings, cr a certain room in the Academic Building which delights your personal taste. Or again there's an exercise room in the Boys' or Girls' Gym where you found physical fitness, or you entered your own commercial world in the Com- mercial Building, cr you found literary pleasure in the The pioneer Diabolltos will remember this building as the tchoal in the early 1900V It is now almoit solely usod to home the district ad- ministrators.

Bill LEATH JAY TERRY CAROL STONEKING DAVE HARMECEK Senior Clan President Senior Class Vice-President Senior Class Secretary Senior Class Representative seniors No loitering! were orders issued by Senior Service members in low bass voices as well as in mezzo-soprano. They waved their arms, stopped underclassmen to issue citations, or scared little frosh, in performing their duties as guardians of the campus byways. Now somebody has blown the whistle on them. Senior loitering days are nc more for the class of '55. But they had a busy, fun year with Bill Leath as president: Jay Terry, vice-president: Carol Stoneking, secretary-treasurer; and Dave Harmecek, representative. Then they had advisers to consult about the etiquette or the price or the order form. These included: Mrs. Betty Courtney, Mr. Lester Dunnells, Mrs. Eloise Honett, Mrs. Virginia Newcomb. Mr. Charles Karp and Mr. Charles Oakley. They also had counselors who prodded them into the correct schedules—Mrs. Honett and Mr. George Stoner. On the social side they had banquets, variety show, picnics, career planned days, and a Senior Ball to remember. One of their members was invited to apply for a spot cn that top coast team which plays for the Shriners in Los Angeles in the fall, one Dan Colchico. This was a year they will remember. MRS.

The busy, bouncy, confused group of students who entered school last September adjusted themselves quickly; then set about to elect officers. When the huzzas of cam- paign speeches and the electioneering cards were cleared away, the loaders of the class of '58 were Al Allison, president; Pat Elkins, vice-president: Judy Schrock. secretary-treasurer; Roberta Berglund, class representative. Frosh service under Bill Sobotka’s junior direction, tidied up the campus, and emptied 75 the noonday trash cans—not one day but every day. The annual doughnut feed for the little housekeepers was a sight to see. On November 24, the Freshman King and Queen, Brad Hill and Roberta Berglund, were crowned at a ceremony in the quad at noon; then the royal couple reigned at the Harvest Moon, class dance, that evening.

After taking this shellacking, the Devils went to visit the Cordinals of Santa Cruz and won 32-14. For the last of the three-game series, Diablo played host to the Berkeley Yellowjackets and tied with them 12-12. League play started with Acalanes. The Devils won the game by a score of 25-6. Playing Pleasant Hill Rams for the first time, the Devils team proved too tough for their little brothers and took them for 27-6. Playing Las Lomas for the first time in competition by league, the Devils fought hard to win from the Knights by a 7-6 margin. Next Diablo played host to Antioch, but the game didn’t go Devilward this time. The Panthers roasted the Devils 33-0. For the big league game against Pittsburg, and the last of the league series, the Devils lost 46-13. The standing at the end of the season told of three Devil wins and two losses.

The Devils split a pair with John Swett winning the first 14 to 3 while losing the second game 3 to 4. Ron Baldwin with three singles and Ray Avansino with a home run and a single, led the Devils hitting attack. Their second win came against San Ramon 8 to 0. Dan Colchico with a home run and Dorsey Allison with two singles led the team to victory. In league competition Diablo defeated a strong Antioch team 4 to 0. Sophomore Rod Atnip, Devil's pitcher stole the show by throwing a no hit no run game. This was the second one of his career. The second league outing proved too much for the Devils. Just before press time they went down to defeat at the hands of the league-favored Pittsburg Pirotes 6 to 2. Ron Baldwin led the Devils at the plate with a triple that day.

Every girl from frosh to senior invariably can be found dancing, exercising, batting, hitting, tumbling, or swimming for an hour of an education-of-a-different-nature—physical education. To succeed in this particular class one must have brawn, enthusiasm, and sometimes a spirit of competition, as well as a brain. P. E. this year offered every red-blooded Diablo girl almost every sport short of golf, hockey, and football.

Still sporting a shine of newness, the group made the year's first performance in a multi- colored interpretation of Bell of the Ball at the Clubs’ Assembly. The theme of February 24 Modern Dance Assembly was centered around nine colors. Brown was a jungle epic—and black the condemned criminal. Dancing leadership was in the hands of Billie Trimble, president; Kay Olander, secretary; Sandy Coleman, costume manager; and Janet Tod and Gloria Bolognia, publicity. The Modern Dance assembly concluded with o multicolor wheel, with a white spoke. The entire forty rjirls displayed their taTents In forming this moving wheel. Even girls can be Martians.
