And kwa imma an Zmdm, 5 ,4 ln the Gospel of St. Luke lll, 52l, we read a statement concerning the youth, Christ, which beautifully parallels the fourfold function of our school: And Jesus advanced in wisdom, and age, and grace be- fore God and men. Pius X High School, like all Catholic schools, recognizes that its specific function is the preservation and propagation of the intellectual tradition of Christian culture. The means towards this end is the intellectual training of our students that they may advance in wisdom. lt knows, how- ever, that an educational program truly Catholic must also provide for the physical development of the students, and so definitely it enables them advance in age. Our school, as a social agency serving the Church, also gives special attention to the religious training of its students, so that, through instruction, they may know it, through participation they may love it, and through training in the moral virtues they may live it, and thus advance in grace. Finally, Pius X High School helps its students develop and live as good neighbors before men in their community by helping them adiust themselves through various activities in and around our campus. This is our gymnasium on which construction started during the sum- mer of 54. We are most grateful to our beloved Cardinal for hav- ing granted us so great a boon so early in the existence of Pius X.

Due to the 'Fine administration of our very progressive principal, this beautiful new wing at the west side was ready for occupation in Sep- tember l955. lt comprises thirteen classrooms, including music rooms and science rooms. The new cafeteria adioining the gym, was completed and in oper- ation late in 1954. This year it has increased its service to the students in many ways outside of the lunch period. --- -- f ' Y Zdiddlzd Za aan Wlcmg . , DEDICATION PRAYER O Mary, Seat of Wisdom, We dedicate to you This record of our daily life, And everything we do.

Students of Pius X High School are fortunate to have teachers whose lives are dedicated complete- ly to bringing us the Wisdom of Christ. It is these who guard our spiritual, our physical, our moral well-being, as well as our intellectual life. We re- spect them because they have been chosen to give us the product of their own wisdom and experi- ence, Let us always rejoice for their magnificent contribution to our lives. All daae cada The Reverend JOSEPH F. SHARPE, M.A., Ph.D., Principal My dear Students: Our constant effort as a faculty and student-body to restore all things in Christ, as our motto di- rects us, has progressed vastly during the school year now coming to a close. The great dedication of each of you to this task has been fruitful, as indicated by advance in studies, by the size of the school, by its wider program. Above all, this progress is best mirrored in the more ardent zealyou have shown in your Catholic life. Students of the years to come will be indebted to you for the foundations you have built here. As each young freshman enters hopefully into the school for the first time, he will anxiously wonder what kind of school-life lies ahead of him. He will hope for a spirit that will make him proud to be called a Pius X student. His hopes will be happily fulfilled in the measure that you now sur- round the name of your school with the glory that comes from hard work, friendly courtesy, and heartfelt prayer. aah., 5 Jemima!! olden The Reverend CHARLES CRANHAM Vice-principal for Boys Religion, Mechanical Drawing, Span ish, Hislory The Reverend Msgr.

The means to this end is the training of the students in the intellectual virtues. Pius X stu- dents appreciate this challenge, for we are aware ofthe fact that the glory ofthe intellect is realized only by application to study, the aim of which is the search for Truth, which is God Himself. 19 Senior girls, knowing that they must soon meet the critical problems that confront the Christian citi- zen in a democracy, like to participate in debate while yet in the learning stage. Thus they will learn to take effective action in influencing for good the trends of their time. Subiect today is: RE- SOLVED THAT THE AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTY SYSTEM LEADS TO THE SELECTION OF PUBLIC OFFICIALS. 7064 am wwe Manga pmt eaemfe CIVICS Senior boys, looking ahead to possibilities of future leader ship in government grow enthusiastic about Mr. SIaven's Civics class. Here Dean Rathbone interrogates some of his classmates, R. Chambers, R. Daignault, P. Theiss, P. King and R. Stickley, and others. 20 Laying the foundation for next year's studies in government are Sister Emilene's junior students of American History. Pat Martin at the map draws attention to the Gadsden Pur- chase. In front row are Bernie Wathen and Eldon Wickers. A lively debate goes on in Sr. Hostia's class: RESOLVED THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS THE PARTY OF THE WORKINGMAN. History is the record of man and all he has done and thought. The Pius X boy or girl approaches the study of history prepared to examine not only the data of science but also what Divine Rev- elation teaches. Man's achievements and advances, on the one hand, his failures and retrogres- sions on the other, challenge the thoughtful student to avoid the mistakes of our ancestors and to profit by their innumerable contributions to help us make more progress in our efforts to become better citizens of a better world. In our study of Civics we follow very closely the organization and operation of our own gov- ernment under the oldest constitution in the world while we learn that by being good Catholics we cannot help being good Americans. World History, showing the old world's gifts to the new, prepares these Sopho mores, under Father Parnassus' teaching, to advance towards next year's course in America n History.

Today, more than ever before, the world needs scientists who, through their Catholic training in giving relative light and shade to the truth and falsity of modern thinking, will be able to guide the rapid advance being made in our world of automation, nuclear fission, and so forth. In order to help meet the needs of living adequately and appreciatively in this modern mechanized world, Pius X offers each student scientific advantages according to his ability in the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, and physiology.

MATHEMATICS He who knows not mathematics cannot know any other science, and, what is more, he cannot dis- cover the source of his ignorance or find its true remedies. -Bacon The youth of today lives in a world of scientific achievement, and it is in this world that he must find his place. Mathematics develops in him the power of understanding and of analyzing rela- tions of quantity and of space which are necessary to an insight into and a control of his environ- ment. lt helps him to appreciate the progress of civilization. lt awakens in him a desire for thor- oughness, clarity, and precision.

Through that great spirit which characterizes the remarkable progress of all departments of our school, our librarian is now happy to make avail- able for our students no fewer than 5000 books so they may advance in that wis- dom which develops the mind, the body, the soul, and which will direct them in Christian social living now and hereafter. dadamda Gene Miller and Tom Patton think they should enlighten Barbara Goddu and Gretchen Martini on the World News of the Week.

SOCIOLOGY Sociology, being the science of the devel- opment of human society, cultural and social institutions and behavior, proved an attractive course for all seniors. ln this course we learned how important is the role of each Catholic in promoting ideas of Christian Social living in every sphere.

Then once again the Warriors charged out into the field only to be met by a rather disappointing season. Highlights of the '55 season were the win over St. Agnes in Pius X's initial contest, where the Warriors came from far behind to roll over their opponents in the last quarter. Harvard iourneyed to the Paramount field only to be downed by Pius X's ingenuity. How- ever, Pius X saved its best game for its first annual Homecoming against Mt. Carmel. Pius X was infected with spirit that gave them the will to win although they did not have all of the ability to do so. 46 cmd nw.. if VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD First row: R. Roberson, J. Taylor, B.

They had a good line, cmd, though having little previous experience, showed a good promise in all their games. They defeated Serra, a Catholic League team l2-Oi, won against Tustin H4-i3l, and tied with Mater Dei. The future of these Pius X Warriors is now in the hands of our new coach, Jim Hardy, well-known Rose Bowl hero. Pius X's new gridmaster, an . ardent Catholic, is a former Trojan, who played with the L. A. Rams, the Chicago Cardinals, and the Detroit Lions. Proclaimed the most val- uable player in the 1944 Coast Conference, he was also voted Ath- lete of the Year by the Helm's Foundation. His coaching experience during the spring drills at Santa Clara i1949l and USC il95Ol will prove invaluable on the Pius X grid. His popularity is well vouched for from the fact that he has just turned down an invitation by Buddy Bar- ker himself to be first-assistant coach for the Detroit Lions. 54 Coach Jim Hardy Um BASKETBALL LEAGUE SCORES League Games Pius 48-Loyola ....,......

Our Warriors embarked on the forced march of pre-season play, but lost the war although they won some of the battles. Two victories at the expense of Mary Star of the Sea balanced a double loss to St. Monica. A successful charge at Temple City helped to equalize the nauseating aftermath of a rough crossing to Catalina. The sieges of the Mt. Carmel and Compton tournaments were a little too much for the Warriors. They were dropped after two encounters in each. In the former, Serra and Cantwell did the dirty work, while in the latter Cathedral and Downey iousted us out. Comedy relief was supplied by the Varsity faculty game, in which the referee was the deciding factor as the faculty triumphed. Armando Merino and Leo Marchand fight for a rebound under Loyola's basket. 56 waging caaleaw Pius X's first year in the Catholic League, while it wasn't phenomenal, was adequate with a four and ten record. lt could have been much worse had not two other teams been forced to forfeit three games to the Warriors, thus keeping us out of the cellar. Things started with much promise before an overflow crowd when the Warriors hosted Loyola. The visitors took it, but the difference was a single point in the closing seconds. The most exciting game, however, was the road game against Serra. Tied by a jump-shot from Jim Duncan in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, the game was won by Leo Mar- chand in double overtime when he sank two consecutive free throws. The Warriors began to show their battle scars about mid-season. Between iniuries and academic requirements, the varsity squad was cut to seven. During the last half of the league, Pius X can attribute most of its losses to insufficient reserves. An example of this is the second game against Notre Dame where we outscored them for the first quar- ter, but their reserves wore our men down fast after that.

The team steadily improved from the first to last game of the season. This was due mainly to the superb coaching of Mr. Benny Lefebvre, the man responsible for this year's fine baseball perform- ance. As the Warriors gained in experience, the infield became a well-knit co-ordinated unit. This showed itself especially in the last half of the league schedule. At the plate there were two out- standing batters, namely, Wayne Ferris and John Sentell. The mound chores were most of the time in the arm of Jack Schwabl. Senior, captain, highest battle, and field general, Wayne is going to be the hardest to replace for next season. As our annual goes to press there are still five Catholic League games to be played.

Dur G.A.A. included many members this year. There were so many fine freshmen with such spirit and interest in athletics that we were un- able to photograph so large a group. We look forward however, to all the valiant things they will do in future years, for the girls' athletics department is now developing many new inter- ests other than in the maiar sports. This year they have renewed enthusiasm in sports since the girls won two trophies for basketball, one, the district championship, the other, the 4th place trophy in the St. Anthony's Annual Tournament.

Its Sodality members are dedicated to honor Mary in a special way and, through her help, to pro- mote the reign of her divine Son. Through committee groups, its members promote the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. At Pius X we have three groups: the Boys' Sodality, the Senior Girls' So- 1 dality, and the Freshman Girls' Sodality, sponsored respectively by Father Hughes, Sr. Emilene, and , Sr. Maura. Through their weekly after-school meetings they have sustained a well-filled program between visiting the sick of Rancho Los Amigos, teaching religion in the parishes, attending daily Mass, the noontime recitation of the Rosary, and inspiring others to advance in grace before God and man. i i i i i i i i i Sodality President Thomas Thomas, along with his fellow officers, Bill Frascella, John Knoll, Norm Snyder, and Jon Rager, urge one another to promote the saying W of the family rosary during October. i 89 1 .

The seniors depart only to give place to the many freshmen who have already registered. Thus we realize that life is but an ebb and flow of things beginning and things ending. We finish our happy days at Pius X to begin a new life in new spheres with new hopes of fresh achievement. Both the incoming freshmen and the departing seniors will always look to Mary, Seat of Wisdom, under whose loving guidance they will continue to advance in wisdom, and age, and grace before God and men. lluke 2, 51l 127 77, 1 Arrowsmith A.

S l xx We owe much gratitude to our wonderful Cardinal, without whose k . patient and unfailing help there would be no school for which to com- XX A pile this annual. Thanks to Father Sharpe, our principal, for his cease- l g t ss efforts to make Pius X the ideal of its kind. Appreciation and li lp KX? thanks to our faculty and students for their help and support in making V A F N XX gthis publication possible, and especially to Sister M. Ignatius, D.M.J., R. XXRW K for her perseverance, patience and deep understanding of our many QU 1 Q Fgomplex problems. w A X Nlfj' The editors wish to express their heartfelt thanks to the Los Angele N .X Engraving Company, and especially Mr. Louis Bartolo, who urged us F ,X ahead and gave us ideas when we thought we were stopped and past OX I inspiration. We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Chris Myron, who, even X in their hour of need, gave us the perfect photographic service upon A X which we depend most of all. Much gratitude we direct towards the X Bindex Co. for their beautiful binding, and the S. K. Smith Co. for their ll' fine technical work on the cover of this book.
