EVERYBODY OFF! Mt. 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. Yours very truly, SENIOR EXECUTIVE BOARD Ted Plumb, Senior President TP iic TED PLUMB President SUE 8OR0EAUX Vice-president ISABEL CATAM8AY Secretary VERLE SIDWELL Representative 13
