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. Dlublo Unified Dijtrict

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.
