On the following pages you will find your past school year recorded. You will relive the rallies, the dances, the assemblies, the football and basket- ball games, and your individual class accomplishments. The milestones of the year 1956- 1957 are pictured; the winning of the basketball sportsmanship trophy, the arrival of our foreign exchange student, Lisetta Gamondi. and the christening of Danny's Den. Whether you are a senior, junior, sophomore, or freshman, you have made this school yearbook possible. You are the people of Diablo. The accomplishments are what you have done. Your teachers and student council—the leaders—have organized the many activities for your participation. And active participation by a student body creates life—the spirit and enthusiasm of Diablo students. And spirit and enthusiasm make possible the recreation at Diablo—the encouragement of boys to participate in game sports, learning to be good sports as well as good athletes. And last but not least, there are the businessmen who sponsor the high school activities. Each section of the yearbook depends upon the other. The extensive participation creates a continuous cycle—one that will go on for years to keep Diablo among the top. To the juniors, the sophomores, and the freshmen: the Diablo '57 hopes to serve as a model for your annuals in the future. And to the seniors: the Diablo '57 has been dedicated to your interests and activities. May it serve as a memory of your final year at Mt. Diablo High School. Now, journey through the annual with the Schmoo, the yearbook mascot, to again relive your past year. Nancy Itanen Editor JhsL I oaLddL VYIcl jooL, Htjl Schnwo, © IT DEDICATION pAviidh iniJwdjuaiA, fljwuhcL. For eight years, we the students of Diablo, have had the expert musical guidance of Mr. James Arnold for the Varstonians and the Marching Band. He has inspired, entertained, and brought recognition and honor to Diablo students through his music. Students appreciate his kind humor, understanding, and mar- velous musical know-how. Since it is your last year here, it is with pride and pleasure that the staff members of the Diablo '57 dedicate this book to you, Mr. James Arnold. Seated before some trophy wins of Mt. Diablo High School is Dr. Ferd Diel, principal. He brings enthus- iasm. understanding and know-how to his administrative job. A. tho day of graduation from high school approaches, it is well to think about what the future will hold for each member of the class of The conduct of all boys is the personal concern and responsibility of Mr. Norman Kestner, assistant dean of boys; and Mr. Pete Kramer, vice-principal and dean of boys. Mrs. Irmgard Cox, dean of girls and vice-principal, is one of tho key members of the administration. She has charge of dance bids, the Hostess Club and the conduct of all girls on the campus is her special responsibility. 1957. In each closs there is thot lucky follow—the one who will get all the breaks; the person into whose lap the gods of chance will drop the choicest fovors. He is the fellow who will have the luck to buy the lot where the supermarket is to be built, to strike uranium on a rocky quarter section and get his crops harvested a day before the hail sweeps all the standing grain to the ground. It has been told that the P is silent in the word luck, but it belongs there nevertheless. Certainly experience seems to prove this to be true, for investigation generally turns up the fact that the lucky person is the plucky person who burns midnight oil and takes defeat after defeat with a smile. It is an undoubted truth that if you want a thing hard enough and keep after it long enough; you will get it—and not because of a luckv break, but becauso of hard work and strength of character. Luck doesn't just break—it has to be earned. It is hoped that the years spent in school will help many of you to become this (p)lucky follow. F. Diel. Principal 6 JhrwLujJ l ihjL adnmuAiAaihm’A, cnmpsdsmL Mr. James Dent, superintendent of schools for the Mt. Diablo District, has brought fame and inquiry to our community by his able handling of school needs for the incoming thousands. Seen monthly in Mr Dent's office were the members of the Board of Trusteos These citiiens were elected to the board in order to maintain school Dolicy for the ent:re Mt Diablo Unified School Distrct. Pic- tured left to right, they are Mr Harmon Welsh, Superintend ' James Dent. Mr. Oscar Larson, and Mr John Lavinder In spite of the addition of new high schools in other sections of the school district. Mt. Diablo High School continues to be the largest high school in the area. Four movable classrooms were completed this year, and six more are under construction in order to house the growing enrollment. Diablans of the class of ‘57 returning in future years will find many changes on the campus as we develop the master plan. To be the largest school in the area is an achievement of sorts, but to be the best is far more important. Graduates of Mt. Diablo High School can be proud of the many distinctions which Diablo students have won in the fields of scholarship, sportsmanship, and citizenship. James W. Dent, Superintendent Mr. Harold Hill, assistant superintendent, is new to our district this year, but quickly became acquainted with our problems and joys. 7 cpjudavujL, wsl AWwivtud' an.. adtwsL ysah DR.

Diablo High School Grant Street Concord, California Dear Seniors: Congratulations to everyone who is lucky enough to graduate with the Class of 57. It seemed like yesterday when we first came to school as Seniors in September, and now it’s all over. Since that first day of the school year, and even before, we have anticipated the many activities and fun we'd have as Seniors. We had a terrific start tor our fun and activity with Career Day in March. Judi Lamont and Roger Freeman were the capable chairmen of that memorable day. We all got together and dressed up and tried to act a bit more grown up. We learned of many points and factors from interesting speakers at the occupational sessions, that made us think about after graduation day. Graduation Day was creeping up fast. Though it was still months away, we seemed to have it in the back ot our minds constantly; because of that we were trying to get as much as we possibly could from every fun moment we experienced. For instance, we really goofed it up in the Senior Variety Show; that was our last time we could ever perform for the rest of the school as a united class. College Capers,' under the assistance of Mr. Harold Godchaux, served as a great emotional outlet for all of our pent up feelings about the problems we would have to face after June 14. The Senior Banquet came around on April 3. It was held at the Diablo Country Club with an impressive theme of Japanese Tea Garden. With Jewell Sanders as chairman, the Senior Banquet will remain in our memories as another one of our Senior reminiscences. We were truly underway now, as many more activities approached our busy calendar. Barbara Racine was chairman and Edith Carlston was co-chairman of the Senior Ball held May 25, and originally themed Ondine. This theme con- sisted of a clever arrangement of a thrilling underwater atmosphere. May 29 swiftly brought about the fun day of the Senior Picnic. Lindred Jones was the responsible chairman of this sunburning and food-stuffing expedition. Ida Yamamoto, chairman of Announcements, ambitiously organized her com- mittee early in the spring. The chairman of the Cap and Gown committee, Carol Groene, had quite a job in getting every graduate fitted with caps and gowns. Our talented class received many awards. These people you'll find pictured on pages 38 and 39. Besides fun and continuous activity—we stuck to our studies too, by winning awards, so take a glance at all our C.S.F. Sealbearers on page 37 along with the Bank of America award winners. We have truly had our share of fun and enjoyment, but all this could never have been made possible without the guidance of our faculty members. Our Senior Advisers, under the initiative and progressiveness of Mr. Leslie Dunnells, have worked and assisted us in making every moment of our last term at Diablo a success. As president of the Senior Class, I want to express our sincerest gratitude and thanks for every wonderful person who has assisted us in senior doings. I also want to say that the whole class will surely find real pleasure in looking back to the year—1957.

For two years, students learn and develop their shorthand symbols to the point where they become skilled at the subject. High speed is exceedingly difficult to reach if accuracy is to be maintained. However, because of hard work and concentration. Janelle Spencer has reached a speed of 140 words per minute. In 12 years, no student has mastered such a record at Diablo. Many essay contests are opened to Diablo students all year long. An annual essay contest is held con- cerning the theme What Chemistry Means to Me. This year.

Many juniors w.th varied talents assembled their serv- ices to make the class of '58 re- nowned for its ability to work to- gether as a team. Cupid's Closet opened its door to feature spring fashions in the Junior Fashion Show presented Feb- ruary 13. Kathy Nicklaus, Sheri Smith, Roborta Berglund. and Mari- lyn Hanson bought sighs from th- girls and whistles from the boys as they modeled their Lam drosses.

Junior United States History classes serve many purposes besides learn- ing all about our forefathers and their heroic events. The Constitution and the Declaration of Independ- ence were important specialties of these students. The Juniors also took D.A.T. tests in this period, voted on various Junior Class issues, and studied democracy and Mt. Diablo government. The Juniors in third period modern dance choreographed their own number for the annual modern dance assembly.

For three years, as freshmen and sophomores and now juniors, they have been known for their colorful and unique pantomimes. This year, The Great Pretender was no exception. Winning honors for the Junior Class in the athletic field was Dave Barber, who earned honorable mention All-County choice in basketball Dave was also voted Most Improved Player by his fellow teammates and coach. Class-minded members of the Junior Cabinot slaved all year long to make their string of activities successful. Hard-working participants planned the details for each event for the benefit of the class. The Junior Fashion Show, assembly, prom and the carnival all originated from this central unit.

ON THEIR WAY! Members of the ambitious Sophomore class have completed another phase of their high school careers; they're on their way. Successful class projects began just after school started and now that the year is complete they have left behind them a fine record of achievement. The main undertaking of the year was the annual Sopho- more Christmas Formal, Stardust. Several cookie sales, a main source of revenue, were scattered throughout the year. To conclude their main activi- ties. the sophs presented a clever assembly, Court- yard Capers, in which they featured many girls' acts. Under the leadership of Joe Partansky. Welfare Commissioner, the Sophomores established and main- tained neat lines at Danny's Den and at our brunch stands. Several students were particularly interested in the crowding problem at the lunch lines, and do- nated the beginning of their lunch hour to keep the crowders out. Throughout the whole term, the Sophs showed their unceasing and solid spirit at school and athletic events. During football season, five Sophomores were outstanding on Varsity play: John Barclay. Gary Casey. Dick Jones, Ron Terry, and Al Trette were all awarded the football Block D. Gary Casey. Dean Deaton. Dave Johnson. Chuck Kimes, Rudy Omania. Larry Pavilones. and Al Trette added to the prestige of the class by their track ability.

Jim Dandy come to the rescue when these sophomore girls bogon to minuet, ond then finally broke into some good ole' popular rock ond roll! This act was particularly colorful, featuring pastel hoop skirts, craiy pants. The Midnight Creeoers displayed fine pree:s:on and talent as a chorus of approximately twenty girls kicked and tapped out their routine. Last year this same oroup amaxed 01 Hi students with its ability to stay together. Ron Terry, the comical Jester who acted as M.C., took time out during rehearsal to watch ono of the acts. Courtyard Capers featured a fairy tale story of how the Sopho- more Class camo to the rescue of the Princess Who Wouldn't Smile. Providing lilting harmony during the assembly were Donna Hatl� v and Judy Laughlin who sang Groon- slcevos” and I'll See You in My Dreams. Although the act was en- joyed by everyone in the audience, the Princess still failed to smile. CkiivsL SophcYvuASLbu AhwuL thsL load Lorry Young, sophomore sensation, needs no introduction to Diablo students. Not only has he appeared in his class assemblies as a loyal member, but also he has appeared on radio and has sung for many organizations. Larry is also the director on the Teen Tconsters, a group with a future in the entertainment field. Perhaps the most interesting of the science courses offered at Diablo is the Biology science Besides dissecting worms, catchinq bugs, and picking flowers, students also study the human body as related to heredity and environment. This sophomore course prepares college preparatory students for future study in chem- istry and physics. Mr. Worthylake. Mr. Johnson's substitute, con- ducts his classes in a scientific, businesslike manner. The Sophomores were concerned with the crowding of students at Danny's Den, so members were assigned to lunch lines as well as brunch lines. No one member was afraid of upperclassmen and as a result, the lines were neat and orderly. This year's Sophomore Service really takes care of the strongylocentro- tuses. The first project of the Sophomore cabinet was to plan the annual Christmas formal. For many months the members met and discussed possibilities of themes and decoration. When the dance was a success, members were confident of a successful assembly. An active class, the sophomores contributed much to student body activities.

Mary Ferguson LONG JOURNEY AHEAD! Although they entered Mt. Diablo bewildered and uncertain about high school life, by June the Fresh- men emerged ready to carry on the traditions and spirit of the school. These students have a long journey ahead but if each year is as successful as their first, then by the time they are ready to don caps and gowns, these Frosh will have a memorable four years. Successful class projects began just after the class officers were elected in October. They immediately planned for their annual dance to be presented No- vember 16. Although a little unsure as to how to plan a dance, the Frosh developed the theme of Pink Rhapsody to create that atmosphere. Enthusiastic over the success of their first project, the eager Frosh plunged into the plans of their assembly. Many differ- ent kinds of acts were presented under the theme of Through the Ages. Realizing that without funds, the class can't do much, they held several cake sales and added cash to the class treasury. Barbara Roe and Jim Craig earned attention for the class when the Diablo News staff picked them to represent the Frosh as Typical Freshmen. Ed Butler and Charlotte Triplett served as king and queen at their dance: their classmates elected them in the fall. Did you notice the garbage cans this year? They were all pretty full. The Frosh service committee was an important branch of student government at school and has been a real service to Diablo. In a few short years, the Class of '60 will be the leaders of the school, and as Seniors they will set the pace for the underclassmen. With the many activities they accomplished this year, the Freshmen promise to be highly successful as a class in their remaining years at Diablo.

Jim Craiq and 8arbara Roe finally settled down for the photographer. All freshmen orientation classes nomi- nated a boy and girl from their class, and news staff voted on the boy and girl best suited to repre- sent the Frosh class. Freshmen girls wondered whether or not women would always be the weaker sc , and they beg the ‘ Swami to predict their future. The cave men and women of this class opened the show for the Fresh- man Assembly. Through the Ages. In order to help the frosh find their way around biq Diablo. the sen- ior student advisers acted as big brothers and sisters. Gary Espinosa, boys' representative, and Phyllis Williams, senior student adviser, help Melvin Heaps and Gloria Hare understand the complicated articles in the Student 8ody Constitution.

Getting ads, making money, yearbook sales, making money, distributing yearbooks, making money, balancing the books, making money—these were only a few tasks of the staff. Four picture days were planned and that meant picture passes, looking up home- rooms, delivering passes—and after the pictures arrived, identifying faces, spelling names right, cropping pictures—work and more work. But the staff came through and the Diablo '57 is now a finished product.

Mr. Howard Brier, president of the conference, is pic- tured standing across the table from the Diablo students and Mr. Kenneth Oodson, author of Away All Boats who joined the Concord group for the shot. 2. Paste-up is the most nerve-..racking part of putting out an issue of the schco! paper. Sometimes this job depends upon whether or not the paper will come out on time. It is a harassing experience, irrvoWing sticky paste, sharp scissors, ar.d requiring an alert mind. 3. Mrs. Lum has the responsibility of checking all copy to be sent to the printer. Dick Bolcerek depends upon her judgment and advice as she reads his sports story. Each member of the News Staff must learn how to write a good lead and head and slick to the Six W's of newspaper writing. -1. These students banned together and formed a new branch of school publications—the Literary Magazine. Students were urged to submit their manuscripts to be published in Reflections. The staff members are left to right: Rob Gordon, Dave Armstrong, Pat Markovich, Jeff Morgan, Jinx Adams, Len Lanfranco, Kathy Warren, and Roger Emarueis. 5. The class reporters were a new addition to the Diablo News staff. Each edition, these cubs would submit an article about class activities, gossip, and athletic achievements. Underclassmen especially found the Class Cuts column interesting. The reporters are Jim Craig, Freshman Class; Kathy Warren, Jun- ior Class; and Becky McLaughlin, Sophomore Class. 6. To be a member of the Quill and Scroll society at Diablo is an honor. Outstanding and extra hard work is necessary before one receives his pin. Jinx Adams, spring editor; Len Lanfranco, fall editor; and Robin Kling, staff member, all earned their awards as juniors. 7. Financing a school newspaper can sometimes be a problem, but with such efficient ad managers as Jeff Morgan (center), the staff has few worries. Because of the amount of ads, the Diablo News is a six-page edition every other edition. Jinx and Dave, spring co-editors, have complete faith in Jeff's ability. 90 1. Sometimes the only serious-minded person on the yearbook staff is the assistant editor. Taking pictures on underclassmen day was tiring, so seme of the staff took a rest. But not l«y; she's worried about the identification of the juniors! 2. These benches in which the helpers are seated served a mighty useful pu'pose the first annual picture day. Mrs. lum and the staff sneaked a sit-down while waiting for additional helpers to arrange the next fifty-two freshmen for the next picture. 3. This is an editor's nightmare of the first picture day of the annual class. After the last and final picture h3d been snapped, everyone just sort of went wi d with relief. It was hard work, but everyone got out of class, so who cared! 4. Whether it's selling annuals, making out picture passes, or writing captions for pictures, the yearbook staff was busy all year long. One half of the staff spend the entire period doing all the b � k work and the other half left school to seek the ever important ads! 5.

These girls personified pep and vivacity with their original routines. Tremendous yells, many victories, and a root- ing section filled with red and green: our yell leaders have been one of the main fac- tors in forming Diablo's reputation as the school with terrific school spirit. These kids put in many hours of practice, perfecting new yells and routines. Our yell leaders are TOP TO BOTTOM: Abe, Pat, Tab, and Annie.

Another one of the Diablo greats are the Devilettes. Even on the coldest night of a football game on the field and the stuffiest night of a basketball game in the gym couldn't keep the girls from slowing down. They were always ready to splash their pompons as they performed their routines. Spirit is sometimes an overused word. 8ut Diablo students were enthusiastic and spirited enough this year during basketball season to win the D.V A L basketball sportsmanship trophy. Spirit leader, Abe Garcia, proudly accepts it on behalf of the student body. Here comes the rally band, and the crowd starts gathering around at noon to have a spontaneous rally. Spirit was tremendous at Diablo, even on the hottest days! Donna Bo. alluring star of Smokey Joe' Cafe and ad- mirers Gary. Sid. Rod. and Bill brought honors to the Block D by winning the second place award at the Clubs Convention. These talented! ?) dancers were in demand for entertainment the entire year. It isn't as easy as it looks! This year's gymnastic team presented a Three-Ring Circus assembly (featuring acrobats) during the fall semester. Busy as bees, they also provided entertainment at half time at our home basketball games. JJul aAAsmbUsiA. pAvvorL hiicAfiAiimp Probably the most solemn but beautiful assembly pre- sented annually is the Christmas Pageant. Re-enacting the Christmas story, the drama and music departments combine their talents to help students get the Christmas spirit before leaving for vacation. . . presenting the Mt. Diablo High School Concert Band! Mr. Arnold directs the band during the assembly which is presented each spring. This year the band proudly featured tunes by Cole Porter as its theme music Sid and Meudie whirl, bounce, and swing to illustrate the jitterbug, probably the most popular dance at Diablo this year. Here, they are shown performing in the Student Council as- sembly presented September 20. The Christmas Formal is the most romantic dance of the year. The girls arrive with stardust in their hair as well as their eyes and it is a breathless sight to sec such a rainbow of colors in formals. Naturally, the boys arc uncomfortable, but handsome in their new suits, and the room smells of scented flowors. oach girl wearing a corsage of her own. “Pink Rhapsody was an appropriate theme for tho frosh dance. This energetic little class kept in with the theme with pink streamers, music notes, a pepper- mint palace, and even pink lemonade. The only thing that was different was the 8lue Tones who played for the occasion. But, the atmosphere of their music created more than made the dance memorable. and, JthaASL wcasl danjuiA, Athlete's Fete invited all feet to its an- nual Block D dance. This was tho men's dance and they not only escorted Diablo girls to the event, but also made all the decorations and provided all entertainment. The girls were impressed at the originality and cleverness of the athletic Block D boys! Dick and Cathy represented a typical couple at Stardust. the Christmas dance. December 14. Hal Matson, the professional school photographer had couples pose before his camera for dance shots. Almost fifty couples had the same idea, and each had a souvenir from the dance—a photograph to re- mind them of a wonderful evoning. 106 Dream along with me. I'm on my way to a star . . Many couples os Marty and Rosalie did just that at the Christmas Formal. This was certainly the dance of the year. The sophomores set up a swing in the clouds to sit and dream on. Perhaps many wishes came true, as many attended the neit dance in February. to Aiut swoAipnsL. One day the seniors got active, and many couples begjn to dance in the quad for fun. Dancing at noon has been encouraged in the last two years and finally no one could resist moving his feet when Little Richard sang Lucille. The Bermuda Bounce offered the most fun of all the school dances for Di Hi stu- dents. It was a girl-ask-boy affair, and the gals didn't waste time in snagging dates. Everyone came decked out in the fanciest of bermudas. and later the boys decided to continuo the fad. All kinds of fun was had by all who attended. The Dance Committee really came through with decorations this time. They featured sports cars as dance decorations! Couples felt as if they were in Almost Paradise when they attended the Junior Prom. April 12. This time all credit for a successful dance went to the juniors who featured spring blossoms as decorations. This was the last semiformal student body dance of the year and it was a well-attended dance. 107 FALL TERM PLAY CAST There's a lof more to producing a term play than meets the eye. The actors must learn their lines, but no play could survive without its makeup artists, stage crew, scenery painters, and costume designers. Mr. Berman stresses to Toni Torpacka and Bart Blakcsley the necessity of a good make-up job on Dave Brockbank and Austin John while Jerry Hunt and Dave Skinner wait their turn.

An especially attractive feature is the gold striping, which was done by a person with pro- fessional experience. Probably the most envied car owner on the Diablo parking lot is George Baldocchi, possessor of a 1956 Bel-Air Chevrolet. A completely new car docs not exactly satisfy George, so he has spent his spare time doing custom work on the body. 1BHBBWI Dick Kitowski's 1953 Chevrolet is just in tho process of being somewhat customiied. It is in top running condition. A good wash and wax job often doesn't hurt the car. and it certainly creates an impression with Diablo students. iink L wiih.. PwL Aoddu. All kinds of custom work has been done to Jerry Underwood's Chevy. Many timos Jerry has changed the features on his car. and he was planning to continue making changes even after the picture was taken. At tho time of this picture, Jerry had molded both front and rear ends. He has also done many other things to improve the appearance of his car. A fine custom convertible car is Loyal Minor's 1950 metallic green Ford, For two years. Loyal has concentrated on his motor and now he knows that his car can compete with tho bost of them. Being proud of his car, Loyal spends much time keeping his car in top run- ning condition. Dale Welch ooses beside his kelly qrecn '50 custom Chevrolet.

A sturdy push off from the pool can put a Oiablo swimmer in the lead. The Varsity team boasted good backstroke men this season. Water splashes and that's a sign that the Varsity backstroke swimmers are going full speed toward the finish line. Some of the events in a swimming meet are free style, backstroke, breast stroke, and butter- fly stroke. Much effort goes into the butterfly-stroke race. Strong muscles are neces- sary to master a good forceful pull which causes a Devil merman to v in, racking up points to win the meet. Good form is shown by Charlie Foreman as he at- tempts a hack dive off the low board. There can be no mistakes made during a dive if a swimmer is to earn good points. Each diver is judged by the approach to the dive, the dive itself, and the en- trance into the water. SivimmsLhA, cahn, ftcWisucL A pidcdiwL. Even the most experienced swimmer needs instruction on how to improve his swimming style. Coach Williams, who has coached swimming for many years, knows what he's talking about when he gives War- ren Moore good advice about perfecting his racing dive. The B swimmers decide to come up for air and re- lax from warm-up drills. Each night the B's prac- tice until 4:00 and then the Varsity takes over the pool. It is no wonder that both the Varsity and ”B squads rank high in the D.V.A.L. Roy Bickar is one of the outstanding divers on the ”B swimming squad. He takes his sport seriously and continues to master one dive after another as he enters competition. So far he rates high in points as far as diving form is concerned. Each year the gymnastics sport becomes more popular to Diablo students. More and more people arc amazed at the athletic ability of the members of the tumbling squad.

A stunt such as the one Ernie Carvajal and Don Cook are doing above requires teamwork. Each looks out for the other because if he didn't, bumped heads would result. Safety is an important feature of tumbling.

Perfect form is demonstrated by Jim as he does a stunt expected of all participants at a tum- bling meet. Sometimes you almost have to be a monkey to master the rope climbing stunt. The idea is to clamber up the rope as fast as you can, and touch the wooden disc at the top. Some boys can do this stunt in the re- markable time 4.3 seconds. Two tennis team players, Charlie Clark ar.d Ron Nelson, prepare to return a serve with a grand slam in hopes that they can earn a point. It is something to learn to score tennis, let alone play it! Learning how to hold a tennis racquet properly can mean a good or poor return. Tennis develops poise as well as co- ordinated wrist action. By the time the season is over, many players just get the krack, but they are all set for the next tennis season! aiiswiiML in, iksL ApifiJtAi acsmsl. Bang! At the sound of the starter's gun, off went members of the Diablo ”B squad to be timed in the 75-yard dash. Coaches assist the new members in developing their start and speeding up their finish. B track coach Smith is anxious to help a freshman weight- man develop good form for the shot put. Leverage and balance are necessary before a boy can master the technique ard throw a good distance. f-'embers of the Cress- Country squad take a running warm-up be- fore competing with the Pacifica squad. The squad is divided into two teams; the J.V. squad and the Varsity team. These boys must train all fall to be in shape for the long races. That last minute push often wins a Cross- Country meet. A run- ner may be worn out, but with determina- tion, there always seems to be an extra wind that drives him to the finish line.

Volleyball It perhaps one of the most exciting games that Diablo students play. Boys os well as girls find the sport lots of fun and really challenging. Strength and a good swing arc required to hit the ball over the net for points. Those girls are just learning the funda- mentals of swimming, but in a year or two these girls may be eligible for the swim show. Synchronised swimming is becoming popular at Diablo and many aro looking forward to the water ballet next November. p.ahiinpedimt. in. vnlim boIL, bcuJudbalL, The girls' tumbling team, a new feature at Diablo this year, was organised by Miss L. The group was fairly active, having participated in the Clubs As- sembly and at the various G.A.A. play- days in the county. This pool entrance is called the life- guard dive. The important thing to remember when doing it is not to let your head get below the water. This stunt is another safety measure in the pool, to be done when there is plenty of room. Tho track event pictured hero is some- what similar to the broad jump in boys' track. A sophomore girl is really proud if she can jump ton foot. Another event is the hop-skip-and-jump leap. Distance is tho main factor involvod. Watch the birdie! In this case, it's not the camera that's involved, but a little fcathored ball. Girls must be careful to hit the bird just right or it might sail away to another part of the gym. This game of badminton is almost like tennis.

Girls' basketball is prob- ably the most popular sport in girls' P.E. Evenr activity offered in gym is also available to members of G.A.A. after school. Modern Oance develops grace and co- ordination. There are two regular P.E. classes of modern dancing, but it is also open to all other girls as a G.A.A. activity. Miss Elyse Dukatz teaches all participants the important technique in order to master the difficult move- ments. Softball. America's all-around sport, is also a favorite of the girls at Diablo. This sport is required of all freshmen in their gym classes and also in the spring. All G.A.A. members may sign up and play. AnflibatL, aJidwu , and modsiAYL dancsL. It seems that track isn't only a boy's sport anymore. This past year, all soph- omore gym teachers required their classes to attempt some of the track events. One of the fun events to at- tempt is the hurdles. Girls have almost as good form as the boys! Splash! And a freshman girl enters the water. With the help of her gym teacher and junior lifesaver, by the time school is out. she will have learned to do a perfect front dive.
