Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1959 volume:

I his book belongs to FOREWORD In this age of jets, space ships, and supersonic cereals, we present for your missile-eye-view, your landing pad on planet Diablo, your space station, your section chiefs, guidance and control directors, your payloads and your groundlings, in action in our Diablo '59. IN MEMORIAM Martin Moore DIABLO '59 MOUNT DIABLO HIGH SCHOOL CONCORD • CALIFORNIA DEDICATION Time was when the fastest thing to cross the evening sky was a shooting star. Time was when the fastest growing village in this valley was a sleepy Spanish town namd Todos Santos. In Space Age I, the missile has overtaken the star, and Todos Santos, now Concord, has overtaken by sheer speed of growth, the popula- tion records of the country. Since we prepare ourselves for your inspection here at Diablo, the students on this campus Canaveral pour in the fuel of their affections, make the count-down in June, and dedicate these launching notes to your files, CONCORD. May the tracings of our flight into orbit be clear and detectable. You are the object of our spatial exploration.

Work Coordinator Count dcioH men ctf The entry of outer space has stimulated imag- inations into a willing acceptance of the immi- nence of a space age. The impact that the unraveling of this concept will have on our culture can at this time be under- stood only in part. A community such as Con- cord. to which this annual is dedicated, and a graduating senior are somewhat alike in that both are on the threshold of maturity in their de- velopment. Proper planning for growth in a space age will focus attention both on recognizable present needs and on the form of the visionary future. The extent to which planning helps the develop- ment of each and the degree to which the growth of one will help the other will determine the full- est realization of both. The Concord of tomorrow must keep in step with the developments of the space age if it is to provide for the welfare of its constituents, and, by the same token, Diablo's graduates of '59, Concord's citizens of tomorrow, must have the wisdom to understand the challenge and the willingness to perform the task.

HILL Assistant Superintendant MR. HOWARD JONES Trustee cut Ac!at- At) A tem MESSAGE FOR THE DIABLO YEARBOOK By James W. Deni The past decade has been one of tremendous expansion in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. Ten years ago Mt. Diablo High School was the only secondary school in the district. Today there are four high schools in operation, a fifth under construction, and more to come as we strive to meet the needs of our ever-increasing teen-age population. Like some forms of protozoa. Mt. Diablo High School has divided its student body several times to create new nuclei on now campuses. In the process, however, the main body has maintained its own strength and vigor, developing new protoplasm to replace the old. Unlike the new high schools, Mt. Diablo has a solid founda- tion of tradition, interests and activities built up during the past half century. These have been edapted to the needs of the changing times as our area has grov n, and as it has developed from an agricultural into a suburban community. Mt. Diablo High School can be very proud of the attain- ments of its students past and present in the fields of scholar- ship, sportsmanship, and citizenship. Future Diablans will be fortunate to attend the mother institution of all the dis- trict secondary schools. 7 MR. JAMES DENT, Superintendent, Mt.

Later in the year however, their popularity was known to all through their freshman clean-up program. By capturing the frosh grid crown early in the fall, the frosh were established on the campus. With the help of their advisers, Mr. Fury Dalla, Mrs. Marian Hilliard, and Mr. Terry McDaniel, they gained recognition in this new space age.

MIKE HASTINGS ROSANN LINFORD LINDA DOMINGUEZ MIKE SWEENEY president vice-president secretary representative Spearheading attach in cuter Space SOPHOMORES Mike Hastings, sophomore president led the Class of '61 to plan its schedule of activities this year. The first activity turned the Girls' Gym into a v inter won- derland with the decorations for the Christmas Formal entitled Silver Bells. To finance all of the projects, it was necessary for the class to hold a car wash on December 13, which added $45.00 to the sophomore treasury. A cake sale v as also held in which the class made a profit of approximately $30.00. November 13 was another important date, for on that date the class presented its assembly entitled Juke Box Baby. It was a talent scout's dream displaying a number of unknown greats. Many sophomores won awards this year, among them was Tom Brown who received honorable mention in basketball. The class owes much of its activity success to its three advisers, Mr. Walter Kelson, Mrs. Ruth Lundgren, and Miss Karen Nix, Mike said. r ADVISERS This year's adviser-. were Mill Karon Ni . Mrs. Rulh Lundgren, and Mr. Walter Kelson, chairman who guided the activities. COUNSELORS The clan counselor! were Mr Don Johnstone, Miss Evelyn Mum- ma. and Miss Betty Sullivan who planned student programs. 24 SOPHOMORES FRONT ROW left to right: Char- « Goffi.

Under the direc- tion of Marby Drexel A Biento (Till We Meet Again) the senior banquet, was second to none. Sunburned seniors proved the senior picnic headed by Barbi FCendle and Chet Belnap was really rippin! At the height of senior activities the Grecian-themed ball. Corinthian Cotillion, proved to be the most memorable night. June 12, marks the close of the Senior Class of 1959! Advising the senior class this year are.

When Lee Grichuhin saw her, he called, Let's change partners. Janet. My turn now . . Xahcfj Here This year was the first in Diablo's history to have a foreign exchange committee. In the previous years students have visited us from Italy and Norway through the American Field Service. Diablo has in- itiated the Foreign Exchange Committee this year, which supports the AFS at Diablo. The purpose of the AFS is to promote international friendship among nations. Not only is Sherie a top scientist, but she also holds the position of Clubs Commissioner and as such plans the annual Clubs' Assembly.

President We began this year as a student council with cno dis- advantage and one offsetting advantage: first, there was a serious lack of experience in the greup, which was the dis- advantage; and second, there was abounding spirit and enthusiasm, which tolled in cur faver, as an encouraging asset. (In cne respect even the lack cf experience proved to be an aid, for it was the instigator of many fresh ideas.) Let us not separate the class officers from the Student Coun- cil, for they actually operate cs one bedy. This year the Student Council and the class o.'ficers have steered a magazine drive to a moderate success. This drive occurred in September cf 1S58; it payed for the next year's foreign exchange student, curtains fer the gym and the film to photograph our football games next year.

Devil Merrill Downing was the high scorer this year with Jim Fraga coming in second. D's The Mt. Diablo D's, coached by Bruce Ol- son, had a fairly good season. They came in third place, winning six and losing four. The team was inspired by the good work done by Dennis Stevens. Fred Crummett and Terry Edi- son. The highlight of the season came when the D's defeated Pittsburg. NO £ FRONT ROW left to right: Tony de- Jong. Ken Hammer. Jerry Cooper.

Ccach Karp, an old sputnik hitter himself, is determined to shape up his boys in order to carry on the Diablo tradition of winning even though you lose. With Webb Haden the only returning letter- man, the tennis team is in the process of re- building this year. The highlights of the practice schedule were a victory over Alhambra, and a narrow 4-3 defeat by Berkeley, the king pin of the A.C.A. League. 111 PAUL CHAPLICK Third Bat DENNIS TREADWAY Pitcher £piket-6 and (Zcckiei This year's Diablo baseball team was picked by the coach and a number of sport writers to finish at the top of the D.V.A.L The basis for assuming this was the large number of returning lettermen. Among them were three first string, two second string, and one honorable mention on the all-County team last year. This team has terrific power in two time all-County, Jim Liggett; great pitching in Ron Lichti, Lee Grichuhin and Dennis Treadway; and a tough defense in Bud Peebles and Bill Stone.

This year's award for the most improved run- ner went to Reger Staggs, a senior. Captain Larr Pavilionis and Gary Robinson led Diablo's cross-country team to a third place in the North Coast. The North Coast v as held in Palo Alto at Stanford's golf course on Novem- ber 5. A first place for the Devils at the All-Comers 10-mile relay in Pleasant Hill added to the expe- rience of our endurance runners. Coach George Armstrong felt that this year's squad could have improved had there been more than two returning lettermen. Wrestling The Mt. Diablo Wrestling Team coached by Ernest Cecaci, had an excellent year, rating a first in the state with Allen Hagerstrand. This is the first 'State' champion Mt. Diablo has ever had in wrestling. Al, a graduating senior, received an injury in his last bout before becoming champion, and v as laid up for several weeks. A two-year man and a football player, he is highly rated grade- wise also.
