PACIFICA HIGH SCHOOL PACIFICA, OUR VOICES RISE IN TRIBUTE TO THY FAME. PACIFICA, MAY WE NEVER BRING BUT HONOR TO THY NAME. ALL HAIL OUR ALMA MATER, HAIL THE NAVY AND THE BLUE ALL HAIL OUR ALMA MATER FOR- EVER WE ARE TRUE. This copy of SPARTAN '60 belongs to I DEDICATION The dedication of the Spartan '60 is a way of showing Mr. Woods Peters that his work and con- tributions to Pacifica High School are appreciated by the students. Mr. Peters has helped Pacifica by articles and pictures in the local newspapers. In doing so he has made our school known to the people in our area. Mr. Peters is a devoted English teacher. Those students who have studied under him are proud of his devotion to teaching. The Class of '60 would like all the students and adult members of Pacifica High School to realize the generosity and interest he has in our high school. You will find Mr. Peters at our games, dances, and assemblies as a photographer, and dur- ing school an advisor to the annual and newspaper staffs. We hope he will accept our very deep and sin- cere thanks. P.H.S. HISTORY This high school is a very young school, it had its beginning in 1956 when the Mt. Diablo Unified School District determined that a high school was needed in the Northern section of the district. The new school was planned and the location was set. New high schools cost money and so bond issues of 1952-53 financed the $ 1,660,000 school. We derived the name of Pacifica from the nearby Pacific Ocean. Our students were proud to be in the newest high school in the district. Even though the landscaping and other miscellaneous things were not done, we were glad to be here. Pacifica, though its short and illustrious history, has made an indelible mark on the adults who live in and around this area. Pacifica students have been commended as most courteous, most neat. Pacifica has also taught them—us—to be useful and productive citizens. We owe much to Pacifica; it has formed our minds and bodies. We can feel that—after graduation—we can go out and face successfully the ever increasing competition in the adult world. 2 President—Gerry Winant Vice President—Carl Malone Secretary—Stella Romo Boys' Rep.—Ken Lopez Girls' Rep.—Connie Miller Clubs—Dulce Basco Awards—Bob Guadagni Safety—Cliff Faith Grounds—Jerry Como Buildings—Don Zwakenburg Social Affairs—Norleen Blakely Programs—Bari Ross Senior Rep.—Mary Lou Tiscareno Junior Rep.—Sarah Elizondo STUDENT Sophomore Rep.—Mike Mclnerney Freshman Rep.—Janis Lane Student Court—Mike Harvey Publications—Marie Francis Parliamentarian—John Dalton COUNCIL With a pound of the gavel, the meeting was called to order.

The House now has an added advantage in that they can conduct their busi- ness during the advisory period instead of class time as in previous years. The two major projects of the House were to rewrite the Constitution and to es- tablish the Credit Union, an organization which should be financially beneficial to every student at Pacifica.

This year the court got under way quickly and was functioning smoothly during the first quarter. More successful than ever before, the Student Court gave the students a chance to see how courts are run and gave them a glimpse of democracy at work. Student Court was made possible by the cooperation of the student body and faculty. Faculty advisor was Mr. Cooper under whose supervision and work the court thrived.

Snow Fantasy, held on December 19. 1958 during their Sophomore year, was quite a gala affair. During this last school year they, as Juniors, were considered as lower-upperclass- men, but now they look back only to recall the memories of the Junior Prom, and their class rings, for now they are SENIORS!

SOPH CLASS HISTORY The Sophomores have completed two years at Pacifica now. They have settled down and become accustomed to high school. This class shows a great deal of promise. They came to Pacifica as freshmen in 1958. They held class elections during the first and second semester last year. Then in June '59, they graduated from the ranks of lowly freshmen to the higher-up Sophomores. As Sophomores they improved; they held the usual class election during the second semester. And now in June they will make the big step from underclassmen to upperclassmen. They have a new responsibility—they're Juniors.

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Don Lessard Since this is the Class of 63 s first year at Pacifica High, they had quite a time getting accustomed to Pacifica tradition. This year's Freshman class was the second largest to attend Pacifica. We at Pacifica High hope that the Freshmen, the Class of '63, will have a lot of luck during the next three years here at Pacifica High School. BOARD OF EDUCATION The students at Pacifica are very grateful to the mem- bers of the School Board. Credit is due them for the many improvements on our campus of which the new tennis courts are the most outstanding. The School Board is responsible for all monetary ap- propriations and for all major projects concerning the schools in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District. On behalf of Pacifica High School, Thank You, School Board, for a fine job. Mrs. Doris Loveridge Mr. James W. Dent, SUPERINTENDENT MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ADMINISTRATION Eloise Honett Vice Principal and Dean of Boys Our school principal, Mr. Wayne Henderson has now spent his fifth year here at Pacifica High School. This year, as well as the years preceding, he has done a fine job of building up our school both in appearance and high standards. He has also worked hard in building up Pacifica's name, making it one of the best in our school district. Aiding Mr. Henderson this year have been vice princi- pals Mrs. Eloise Honett, Dean of Girls, and Mr. Larry A. Muckey, Dean of Boys. They also have done outstanding work in improving our school. Lawrence Muckey Vice Principal and Dean of Boys Head counselor—Mr. Sam Gadol COUNSELORS Each student at Pacifica, during some interval of time, needs the advice or assistance of a counselor. These coun- selors make it their business to be of help in any way possible. Our counselors major in three fields: educational, vo- cational and personal problems. They help plan our four- year program as students at Pacifica. Counselors assist each student in making decisions for good education. Tribute should be paid to our staff of counselors for the fine work they have done. Miss June Winter Miss Ann Jackson Mr. Charles Carter Mr. Ken Dunbar Mr. Anthony Mare Mr. F. Cooper Mathematics DEPARTMENT HEADS Mr. C. Carter General Arts Mr. J. Carstenson Music The Department Heads are just what the word implies. They are people who, besides teaching their own classes, also plan any changes in the courses. They guide the other teachers to assure a better all around program for the students. These people budget and maintain a sup- ply of materials for classroom use. Department Heads are also members of the general Curriculum Committee, working with the Administration in the overall educational program. It really takes a capable person interested in making his department the best, to serve in this capacity. Miss J. Winter Library Mr. H. Capshaw Special Classes Mr. R.

Mr. Henderson’s secretary, Mrs. Char- liene Thiessen, keeps everything in order and in tip-top condition for our very busy principal. The treasurer of Pacifica, Mrs. Esther Sutch, keeps the finances of the school straightened out. She is a newcomer at Pacifica, and has done a very fine job for her first year. Miss Rose Marie Mouzakis, our attend- ance clerk and registrar, keeps the Attend- ance records in order and keeps check on the absentees. Miss Mouzakis graduated from Pacifica in 1958 and has come back to do an excellent job at her Alma Mater. Mrs. Bonnie Walcott, the new Library clerk is a replacement for Mrs. Margaret Wildes. This is a tremendous responsibility and she is doing a magnificent job. ESTHER SUTCH BONNIE WALCOTT 19 CUSTODIANS Jim Bristol John Hughes Jack Casey Casey Davenport C. B.

Mr. Dent (left, facing camera) is explaining the procedures for obtaining a Multi-Use room. Parents of Pacifica students, learn a little more of our educa- tion system at Pacifica during the Parents Club back-to-school night. PARENTS CLUB The purpose of the Parents' Club is to work out the problems of Pacifica. The members are the parents themselves, and they work closely with faculty and adminis- tration on the basic problems of students. The fine executive board consists of eleven or twelve members including Mr. Henderson. This year their main projects were lights for the football field, and completion of the Multi-Use Room.

Basket- ball CHEERLEADERS Larry Shannon Linda Bond Joyce Price Marcelyn Doss Pacifica's cheering section was led this year by our excellent cheerleaders, under the leadership of the head yell leader, Larry Shannon. He had the capable assistance of Linda Bond, Joyce Price, and Marcelyn Doss. The cheerleaders wore Pacifica's blue and blue, in pleated skirts and sweaters. Larry wore white pants and shirt with a blue sweater. They all did a wonderful job of keeping Pacifica's spirits up. Pacifica's mascot, the Spartan, followed our teams wherever they went. He was a symbol of the school and the spirit of its students to all who saw him. 56 THE MIGHTY SPARTAN « _ ' f The song leaders have done a good job this year. They represented Pacifica well and kept up the school spirit. The head song leader was Carmen Jiminez, Working with Carmen were Guida Maher, Martha Alves, Arlene Pena, Nora Green, Peggy Scott, and Sara Elizondo. Dressed in blue wool skirts and sweaters with blue trim, they went through their routines with spirit and precision. SONGSTERS 57 CROSS COUNTRY VARSITY JUNIOR VARSITY Left to right: Jerry Cummings.

They were also elected by their teammates as most out- standing, most improved, and most valuable, in that order. Bill Mattson and Barry Neely served as co-captains. MANAGERS 62 Joe Costa Fred Johnson COACHES Thu past football season was perhaps Pacifica's best all out effort to perform on tne gridiron. The linemen and backfield showed what desire and team effort can do toward building a successful football team. This was Pacifica’s best all around backfield and line in the history of the school. These boys played almost the entire game without relief and they played offense as well as defense. In our league we are the smallest school in enroll- ment, however week in and week out we showed that we could handle teams that outweighed us 20 pounds per man. These boys had the will to play rock and sock football. When the season ended we were proud to put our tackle John Arciniega, quarterback Barry Neely, and fullback Bill Mattson, on the first All League Team. Guard Bob Guadagni also gained All League, on the second team, and end Richard Hewitson, and halfback Kenneth Lopez received Honorable Mention. In conclusion, we would like to mention that this squad never quit in any game and had the aggres- siveness that makes for better teams and men. This was a great group to coach, and we wouldn't trade this team for any other in the league. Head Coach Frank LaSan Line Coach Chappie Lisle Backfield Coach Bob Carter Coach of the Year, Prank LaSan Coach Chappie Lisle 63 Coach Bob Carter C and D BASKETBALL This year the C and D Basketball teams had a fairly successful season. The teams played ten games. The C's won one and lost nine, to finish last in league standings. But all was not lost: the D's won eight and lost only two to finish first in league standings. Both Coach Charles Carter and Student Coach Jim Hill worked hard with the players, and some of these should be a great help to the A and B teams in a year or two.

The Spartan ' B's were led by three all-league nominees, Bob Johnson, 1st team, Herb Meeks, 2nd team, and Jim Morris, Honor- able Mention. The B's had poten- tially the best team in the league. Inconsistency, however, plagued them throughout the season. Thus they inherited the name of Chi- nese Bandits (if they couldn't find anyone to rob, they robbed them- selves). The Pacifica Frosh enjoyed a successful season posting a five- and-two mark. A double win over Mt. Diablo marked the highlight of the season. Members of this Frosh Team showed fine potential and should help the basketball teams of Pacifica in the coming year. p FROSH BASKETBALL First row, left to right: John Johnson. James McGee.

The highlight of the season was their victory over Antioch. Although they didn't do too well in league play, they received valuable experience from their efforts. More than half of the team will be return- ing next year and we expect a very good season in '60-'61.

Four of our matmen were sent to the D. V. A. L. championships. Our represent- atives put on a very good showing. Larry Topping took 3rd, Wayne Turage 4th, and Bob Maxwell 3rd in their respective divi- sions. This season's teams were composed pri- marily of Freshmen and Sophomores who were lacking in experience, but after the fine beginning they made this year we have a good chance to capture the title or come pretty close— come another year.

This year the Pacifica Spartan varsity track- men had the best season since the school came into existence. The team fought with all that they had, but at times, even with all of their efforts, the team just couldn't come through. This year, many trackmen had to leave the team as a result of graduation last year, and there will also be a few this year that will have to leave. But there are still many good players left from this year's track team with a few ex- cellent prospects to build up the strength of the team in future years. Bill Phillips, the track team's hurdler, will be returning next year. 4% B TRACK First row, left to right: Ches.

There was a good turn- out including members of last year's B Track Team. At the beginning of the season Coach Al Brunk said, The boys are in fine condition and our chances are good in the hurdles, 75 and 150 yard dashes, and relays. Was he a good prophet? Look at the record and see! J.V. BASEBALL The J. V. Baseball team got off to a sluggish start. They lost their first few games but they kept their re- sistance and spirit high. Many different points of their playing needed improve- ment but as they progressed they obtained real steam and greatly improved skill.

With the exception of a few new members, this year's Varsity team consists of last year's champion B's. If you have had the opportunity to watch the various members perform, you have probably marvelled at their skill.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1956 the new incoming class was stricken with the usual affliction that gets all Frosh—Pacificaitis. They pulled through, though, with the Freshman service—devoted mainly to the cleaning of the grounds ... The Frosh dance was a hit... The assembly that the class put on caused a riot of laughter —whether the student body laughed at it or with it no one knows, but they laughed. Can you ever for- get that Modern Dance act? The next year the class of '60 had charge of the brunch stands, and the girls did a cookie of a job. The Christmas Formal, Winter Wonderland, was the best that any class has given so far. In the as- sembly most of the class contributed in one way or another. Coming back strong were the Juniors, with the Junior Service. Concessions brought the much need- ed money rolling into our treasurer's ready hands. As Juniors the class put into effect some new ideas ir, the concessions; also a popcorn machine was introduced to the school. The masterminds of the class set to work; extra meetings were called. Everything was hush-hush. The finished product was the Junior Prom, and it was as fabulous as the name implies.. . Class rings were ordered and everyone had a hard time deciding which one was liked best. The baccalaureate that the Juniors put on was the most successful ever given. Another contribution by the class of '60 was the Senior Sweaters. Senior pictures were taken— cheese! Class officers were elected for the hardest job yet. The Senior Assembly was a success, and was worth the effort and planning that went into it. Career day helped the class decide their individual vo- cations. The Senior Picnic was one big blast we'll never forget. The Senior Ball was the most exquisite given and I know we II all cherish the memories. Caps and gowns, dedication, commencement, Senior Parties, baccalaureate—most activities enjoyed by the class. Finally Graduation, a milestone in the life of every individual! .. . And school's out! 80 Most Studious : Karen Howard, Don Zwakenburg A Poll Most All Around Connie Miller Cliff Faith Was Taken ...

This drill team consists of thirty-two girls, who do a fine job of marching and building school spirit. The girls marched at all the football games in the I960 season, as well as in parades and other school and community events. The Drill Team, under the direction of Miss Lola Langley is one of the most active organizations at Pacifica. The Drill Team is sorry to lose their leader Roberta Thompson, lla West, Delores Hines, Connie Miller, Shirley Fletcher, Donna Hen- drichson, Marie Francis, and Diane Hines. This group of young musicians show the quality that is needed for success. They performed at the Christmas Formal, the Music Festival, and many other occasions. The sextet did a beautiful job this year when they performed at the Christmas Program, the Sophomore Assembly, and at other events. They de- serve special attention. Members shown are (left to right): First row: Martha Haskins, Cheryl Neely, Carma Christiansen. Second row: Sherry Street, Pat Butterfield, Sandy Mayne. SEXTET 84 The Girls' Glee Club practices for the Christmas program. This year's Choir and Girls' Glee Club have cer- tainly lived up to last year’s prediction. They did an outstanding job at the Christmas program. Their music has been a credit to them and the school, and Pacifica can well be proud of the reputation they have built. GIRLS GLEE TIME OUT FOR GINGER was the first term play presented to our stu- dent body and community. The play was concerned wih a teen-age tomboy, whose only love was football. The audience was kept in constant laughter by the antics of this girl. This was the beginning of many terrific shows presented by our drama department. DRAMA Throughout the school year of 1959-60 Pacifica's Drama Department presented outstanding productions. There was the fall play, Time Out for Ginger, about a slightly confused teen- ager, the Christmas Pageant concerning the world before and after the birth of Christ, the One-Act Play Festival with a great play by Tennessee Williams, the Spot- light Review, a gigantic circus under the Pacifica big top, the spring play, The Glass Menagerie, another play by Ten- nessee Williams. All these productions met with great success and we give all the participants hearty applause. 86 CHRISTMAS '59 For this year's Christmas program, the drama department presented an attractive Christmas Pageant featuring the Biblical scene of the Birth of Christ, with the Choir accompanying the pageant in Christmas Carols. ONE-ACT PLAY FESTIVAL The One-Act Play Festival is an annual occasion here at Pacifica, with most of the local schools participating. Our drama department presented Something Unspok- en by Tennessee Williams, which received a rating of excellent at the banquet where the awards wefe pre- sented. SPOTLITE REVUE Spotlite '60 took the theme name of The Big Circus. It was a gala affair with clowns, animals, and lots of excitement. It was a big hit and everyone enjoyed it. GLASS MENAGERIE The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, was the Spring Play. This play, although it was a completely different type than we have ever had be- fore, was an outstanding success. DRAMA HEAD Pacifica should be very proud—and is very lucky—to have Miss Georgia Ann Weston as the head of our drama depart- ment. Miss Weston sponsors the drama club and various drama field trips. She also su- pervises the very excellent plays that are periodically presented to our school and community. Many assemblies have been presented to the stu- dent body, where the drama club really helped out, such as the skits given to help build rally spirit, to sell student body cards, yearbooks, and special events.

The staff has had a hard time getting started, due mostly to the inexperience of its students, but they made their dead- lines! With the help of Mr. Peters, our advisor, we organized and decided what should be put on each page. This done, we started putting the annual together, drawing the layouts and writing copy. We would like to thank the many people who gave us their time and cooperation. We would especially like to show our appreciation to Mr. Peters who supplied us with technical advice and many excellent pictures, Mr. C.
