For Seniors Cnl I Six seniors who are in the foreground are admiring Frank Paul Lazio's car, which was being painted in auto shop. Of the 689 students who last September began the new year at Pittsburg high school, T85 enrolled for the last time. The weather was hot and sticky, and cottons were the thing. Friends who hadn't seen each other dur- ing the summer months were reunited, and everyone settled down to the busy schedule of school life. The first rally came on September 20, with yells led by Andrea Davi, Roseanne Cattolico, cmd Carol DeStefano. The pom-pom girls had their first chance to perform with new routines. The next day the Pirates and their rooters iourneyed to Monterey for the annual game with the Toreadors. Increasing classroom space on the campus was the handsome new arts and crafts wing. Girls were thinking in unfavorable terms of the new swimming courses re- quired as a regular part of gym. The first issue of the Galleon announced that Pittsburg had eight new teach- ers on the staff, all men. October was the month for football and the first Pirate deadline. After much confusion and without the presence of the regular yearbook advisor, Mrs. Roxie Gibbs, the staff was finally able to meet its requirements. Then came colder weather and the end of football season, the Pirates again taking the championship with a 61-7 win over Antioch. The exchange rally with Antioch was a success, Principal E. A. Poe commem- orated it by leading a yell. January brought wind, rain, and final examina- tions. With the election of Miss Pirateer, the spring semester began. Seniors found they had a busy schedule. The Junior-senior party came in February. The Senior Ball Committee early began work for the most important dance of the year, while other senior committees planned for such events at Ditch Day. All looked forward to June 13 with mixed feelings, happy to be on their own but sad that they were saying final farewells to PHS. Some like Nancy Cardinale and Frances Lucido planned on marriage after graduation while others including Dan Alfaro, Josephine Mercurio, and Theresa Guzman planned on attending college. The seniors looked to the future with bright, high hopes and happy moments to remember. Entertainers at the Antioch-Pittsburg exchange rally, one of the liveliest of the year. Mr. Fornwald and the band are at the left.
