THE JOURNALISM CLASS OF 1961 PROUDLY PRESENTS THE ... £J!, y4FLo ore wori J From across the horizon, we saw the first sun rise bursting with radiant color upon our new school year. As the year progressed, we began to become more conscious of the enrichment color gives to our lives; therefore for your El Ano, we chose the theme . . . COLOR . . . the enrichment of Life. For the first time, the Ramona El Ano has natural color included in it. We feel color will enrich your El Ano as it has enriched your own life. We’ve tried to cover your year here at Ramona High completely from the first colorful sunrise to the final brilliant sunset. It’s been hard work but we of the Journalism Staff have enjoyed compiling the 1961 El Ano. We hope you enjoy reading it half as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. TABLE OF CONTENTS Administration Underclassmen Ex Libris page 11 page 21 page }f page J3 page 71 page 97 Activities Athletics Graduates ’6 £( Jlno Q, ueen A Running over the 1961 EI Ano are Queen Earleen Jones and Princess Judy Austin . . . with their attendants Frani Kunkel, Sharon Rodolff, Frosty Head and Melinda Zentz. The El Ano Staff would like to express a sincere Thank You” to these girls and their workers for their efforts in obtaining the penny votes necessary to win. Our Queen, Earleen, and her workers collected $77.96. In perhaps the closest contest on record, our Princess, Judy, and her workers brought in $77.67. The attendants were able to bring in the following amounts: Frani . . . $25.99, Sharon . . . $25.63, Frosty . . . $21.41, and Melinda . $17.77. Thanks girls, you've made the annual so much better. EL ANO QUEEN CANDIDATES Seniors ................Judy Austin Earleen Jones Juniors ...............Frani Kunkel Karen Thorson Sophomores Frosty Head Kristy Renau Freshmen .............Sharon Rodolff Melinda Zentz —5— Work, work, work . . . That's what it's taken to bring you a weekly paper, titled Tosco Capers, and The 1961 El Ano. The many long hours spent behind a type- writer, the time spent in the dark room (we do have a photography department), the tedious days before deadlines, and many more things will long be remembered by the 1961 Journalism Class. So that you might have a chance to see these hard workers, below is a picture of the entire Journalism Class. The Editors' and Advisor's pictures are seen on the facing page. Starting with the top picture, the Section Editors and Photographers are: (read- ing clockwise from upper left hand comer) Mike Walters, and Allen Brown, Athletics; John Walters and Roger Kelley, photographers; Karen Kelley, Underclassmen; Pat Bart- lett, Graduates; Carri Queen, Ex Libris (Organizations); Frani Kunkel, Business Man- ager; Pam Baker, An Director; Jean Thomsen, Activities; Joe Thomsen, Administration. Not pictured: Walker Bennett, photographer. The middle picture has Editor-in-chief Marvina Scarbery on the left with Assistant Editor Earleen Jones next to her. In the lower picture is Mrs. McDonald, Advisor. Clockwise sitting: Frani Kunkel, Lylle West, Kathy Carter, Donna Kendall, Jim Pitts, Mike Walters, Ed Prindle, Lee Ann Butters, Karen Kelley, Laneda Light, Marlene Prindle, Pat Turman, Jean Thomsen, Pat Bartlett. Clockwise standing: Pam Baker, Carrie Queen, Earleen Jones, Allen Brown, Joe Thomsen, Ray Ling, Sara Cowan, Judy Austin, Judy T rum per, Susie Mitchell, Karen Thorson, Roger Kelley, John Walters. To whom should we dedicate our El Ano? This was the big question faced by the Journalism Class early in the year. The entire staff has a vote and these were counted by the Editors, Marvina Scarbery and Earleen Jones, and by the Advisor, Mrs. McDonald. Until the day the annuals are distrib- uted to the students and faculty, the dedication is kept a secret. And so this year....................... CL •2u lcatii r cr„d you- %s itdr £$, « - . Uzr;ir ly°z QeeP interest j —8__ MR. JACK BELZNER At the administrative head of our school this past year has been Mr. Jack Belzner. Coming to us from Tollison, Arizona, where he was Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Belzner has had a busy year becoming acquainted with the school system and making friends with the Student Body. In his career in education, Mr. Belzner has had experience as a teacher, coach. Elementary School Principal, High School Principal, and as Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Belzner received his B.A. and B.E. from Texas Christian University, his M.A. from the University of Arizona, and additional graduate work at U.S.C. He also studied at New Mexico Western and Arizona State. We are looking forward to a constructive period as our school grows under Mr. Belzner s able guidance. MESSAGE FROM MR. BELZNER As you read the pages of the 1961 EL ANO, I am sure that many events will live again for you. As you look through these pages, you will come to realize that the school year 1960-1961 was one of the happiest years in your life. As you grow older and look back, you will realize all the more how much you have enjoyed it. You have quite likely learned in direct proportion to the amount you have studied and enjoyed your work at RAMONA HIGH SCHOOL this year. We have offered you the opportunity to learn and offered to help you with any difficulties you may have had in learning. We hope that you have accepted our help. I am sure you will join me in congratulating the staff of the 1961 EL ANO for its outstanding work on this year book. w 1 JAMES L. HAVERSON Colleges Attended: University of Colorado—B.S.

The first and second semester officers turned out a fine and fun-filled year. They sponsored the Christmas Dance which was a great success. The money they raised went into the treasury for this year's Prom and Banquet. They also put on a Talent Show to reach their goal. At the end of the second semester they reached their goal and presented the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet.

They start- ed off their activities for the first semester with the Freshman Initiation, at which 105 Freshmen were initiated. They later sponsored a Beatnik Dance held on January 14 which was a big suc- cess and caused quite a bit of excitement through- out the town. They entered a float in the Home- coming Parade entitled Skin Em Alive which helped them to win third place. They have con- tributed much to this school year and they re sure to strive even harder next year when they return to Ramona High as Juniors. onto re f- erdona Page 25 SECOND SEMESTER CLASS OFFICERS Mr. Hanigan President Greg Brown Vice-President Clarke Edens Secretary Patti Miller Treasurer Connie Brown Sergeant-at-Arms Richard Neises This page brought through the cooperation erf OWEN’S DAIRY Page 26 This page brought through the cooperation of RALPH B.

When the familiar clanking of .chairs was heard, it was just the Freshmen doing their duty. They also sold re- freshments at the home football games, as did the other classes, which added to their treasury. In the Homecoming Parade, they entered a float entitled Skunk Em” which held a huge skunk that sprayed water. Their effort on the float won them second place. In the magazine drive, the Frosh Class held top sales and had one of the highest salesmen. Working together they have done much to accomplish each goal.

BAND This year, the Band has really played a big part in bringing out the spirit of the Ramona High Students. A one of the Band's major undertakings, it has provided music for the majorettes, flags and drill team. They have also played' at all of the pep rallies and football games. To top all this off, they had an award banquet, a concert, took part in a county festival, and provided graduation music.

Pep Club pins and blue and white pom pons were pur- chased by each member of the Club to give them special recognition. Selected as chairmen this year were Pat. Bartlett and Kay Geek, who with the ad- visors, Mrs. Jean McDonald and Miss Joan Peterson, selected a committee to help ease the huge load of planning that falls upon the chairmen. The committee consisted of two repre- sentatives from each class: Freshman, Shar- on Rodolff, Patty Rountree; Sophomore, Cathy McWhorter; Junior, Priscilla Perry; Helen Bickel; Senior, Marilyn Stephen. Marvina Scarbery. Card stunts were graphed out and plan- ned carefully. The stunts may seem very elementary and quick to most but a lot of work is put into these quite simple stunts. Hours and hours must be put into the cards alone and more hours and hours are put into the instructions. All these hours must be put in before the cards are even ready to pass out among the Pep Club members. The stunts were then ex- ecuted at the half time of each of the home games. The Pep Club chairmen and committee worked hand in hand to promote school spirit in the I960 Football Season.

This year's Drama Club has really been a great asset to Ramona High School. Most of the play practices are held first period as that is the period in which Mr. Skahan, the Drama Class Advisor, teaches drama. Al- though much time is spent in class in prac- tice, much additional time is spent outside of class, to perfect their performances to a more professional standard. an jp, rinceSSeA reic n ouer A b Page 55 Jk omecomincj JedtiuitLes HOMECOMING QUEEN Chosen as a candidate by the foot- ball squad, lovely Kay Geek was selected by the Student Body to reign over the Homecoming festivities.

The gym was decorated in autumn colors of brown, red, green, and orange. Jim Poole's Band offered the music and a good time was had by all. Page 56 Our homecoming this year was-a big suc- cess. The class floats brought acclaim from the townspeople. The Senior float won first prize with its Little Engine That Could.” The Juniors' depicted a scene from the past with 'T Remember When. The Sophomore float showed the, boiling of a Calexico player in a witch's pot while the Freshmen had Skunk 'Em with a black and white pussy cat. Halftime activities ran fast and furious. The band performed and card stunts were done. The Majorettes, Pom Pom, and Flag Corps also displayed their talents. Jeri Nelson did a beautiful fire baton routine which held the audience captivated. A lot .of planning went into the Home- coming this year and special bouquets should be given to: Head Chairmen, Ear- leen Jones and Kay Geek; Parade Chair- men, Allen Brown and Marilyn Stephen; Dance Chairman, Donna Kendall; and Rally Chairman, Joe Luelf.

BARBEQUE The Ramona Chapter of the Future Farmers of America held its annual bar- beque on May 13, 1961. As it has been in previous years, it was a complete success. Around five hundred people attended. Approximately one week before the event, the members went to Collier Park and dug a pit for the meat. Mr. Slattery had the privilege of lighting a fire of manzanita roots and lemon tree branches and after they had burned to glowing coals, the wrapped meat was then added and din thrown over, making a nat- ural oven. The meat was allowed to cook slowly, bringing about a tender, tasty serving. As there was no main chairman for this affair, the Junior and Senior boys acted as supervisors. Page 59 The Basketball Dance, annually sponsored by the Ramona High School Girls’ League, was a big affair this year. Held on April 8th, the team received their letters. Chairman of the dance committee was Lancey Holly who had very able assistance from co-chairmen, Darice Tippets and Connie Brown. We Love You, Team,” was the theme, and we truly are proud of our wonderful Bull- dogs, who were so victorious this year. This year's football banquet was said to be one of the most successful ever. The success of this banquet is accredited to the hard work of the Varsity and Junior Varsity mothers who should really have everyone's hearty thanks. The main speaker for this banquet was Mr. A1 Lewis, who is the head coach at California Western University. His talk was very interesting and enjoyed by all. He emphasized the importance of athletics to encourage boys to remain in school and to study. Chairman: Pat Bartlett and her escort. SADIE HAWKINS DANCE The Sadie Hawkins Dance is an an- nual money-making project spon- sored by the Girls' League. This year was a big success. Everyone came in their most formal hick clothes and some had their picture taken by a local photographer. The dance will hold treasured memories of great times for a lot of years to come.

Program Chairmen. Two of the outstanding ones were the Mississippians, a male quartet, and Ralph Melville, a glass blower. Some of the figures blown by Mr Melville were given to the high school. Another pleasant assembly was that given by the La Verne College A Cappella Choir. IdAem u, s; ceneA JUNIOR TALENT SHOW Manhattan At Midnight was the name of the Junior Class Talent Show which was presented to the Student Body on Friday, March 10. The show was presented to the town the following Saturday night. Prizes were given for the best acts. First prize was a ten-dollar gift cer- tificate to Regina's or Wright’s. Second prize was a 1961 El Ano; and three ticket books to Disneyland were given as third prizes. Chairmen of Man- hattan at Midnight were Susie Mitchell and Ron Doyle. Scott Raymond and Warren Goldmann were in charge of lighting. Penny Hill was the head of the Scenery Committee. Mike Riley and Steve Bradbury kept everyone in a lively mood through their antics as Masters of Ceremonies. Two outstanding acts were the vocal numbers by the Six Teens and the music of the Hi School Dance Band, directed by Robert Heckathorn. One outstanding event in the 1960-61 school year was the Senior Play. This was a story about two angels and their duty of taking two souls to Heaven. How- ever, there seemed to be some problems. First and most imponant was the not-quite an- gelic hitch-hiker that tagged along. The antics of this mischievous angel were quite amus- ing. Second, one of the souls did not wish to leave this life on earth, and third, the other soul was very willing to leave. The cast of this humorous Down to Earth” performance was as follows: Agnes — a dilligent angel, played by Marvina Scarbery Pilone—a not-quite angel whose antics create problems, played by Larry Neises Wilfred — a male angel who had an easy job, played by Danny Martin Augusta Applegate—a typical old maid, miserly aunt, played by Earleen Jones Diana Clump — an emotional maid, played by Deanna Smith Ruthie Teel—affected, too-sweet, out-to-marry money girl, played by Kay Geek Orpha Teel—a social climber, Ruthie's mother, played by Sandra Maple. Millie Bromsley—a typical mother and wife, played by Patty Hanigan Baxter Bromsley — a never-do-well inventor, played by Ron Mueller. June Bromsley—a typical American girl, played by Marilyn Stephen Richard White—a handsome young man in love with June, played by Fred Pratt Robert Handley—a rich hypochondriac, played by Joe Luelf Herman Howell—an old retired sailor, played by Mike Walters junior - Senior f rom and d3an( uet Page 67 Breaking tradition this year, is the presentation of the never-to-be-forgotten Jr.- Sr. Prom and Banquet of I960. It is planned that the 1961 prom will be included in the 1962 yearbook. A romantic theme, Rhapsody in Blue,” was chosen by the class. The Banquet was held in the Cafe de Fountainbleu, better known as the Multi-Purpose building. Dry arrangements, sprayed blue and glitter-covered and spiral candles decorated the tables. Blue-glittered letters spelled out Rhapsody in Blue” After this beautiful banquet, the activity moved to Wilson Gym, renamed The Blue Room. It provided a beautiful setting for the dance. Crepe paper flowers dec- orated an archway and picket fence along the edge of the stage. A large white stair- way formed a grand entry for many a handsome couple. Puffs of pastels seemed to float around the dance floor and the ripple of a small fountain added to the romance and enchantment of that special evening. Billowy white clouds adorned the Blue Room, and the floor shone like a mirror. Blue paper and glitt ed notes covered the walls. Small tables set for two or three couples surrounded the floor. The bar was located at the north side of the room, and satin-skirted French waitresses took orders throughout the evening. A lot of hard, fervent work went into this prom, and it most certainly will never be forgotten by the class which made it possible. Main Chairman was Marvina Scarbery who was aided by Prom Chairman, Kay Geek and Banquet Chairmen, Jeri Nelson and Doreen Harrison. An added thanks should be extended to Mr. Robert Minnis and Miss Miriam Estes for their help. Here are our cheerleaders, and songleaders, eager to introduce this year’s athlete and tell of their ac- complishments. Let’s now give a cheer of admira- tion and gratitude to the cheerlead- ers and songleaders, and the athletes for all the hard work they've done for the betterment of the school.

Garrett, Agent Starting this year with a twenty-three game winning streak, the Ramona Bulldogs came up against what seemed to be their strongest competition in eight years. Battling all the way, they were only able to .score one win in six starts. This poor record was primarily due to the lack of experi- enced men with only 3 returning 1st stringers, all of them back-field men. This year could be called a build- ing year. Next year promises many more returning lettermen. At times, the inexperienced line showed strength, however, they couldn’t manage to pull together enough to spring the backs into the open. During the majority of the season, the backfield seemed to remain fairly strong. The entire team benefited very much by having Mr. Glenn For- sythe tack once again as head coach. Also, a vote of thanks must be given to Mr. Chuck Slattery for all the help he gave to the team as the assistant coach. Both men did a very commendable job, con- sidering the tough schedule that the Bulldogs had to face this year. eniorS This page brought through the cooperation of KUNKEL’S SUPPLY, Frank and Gordon Kunkel. EjL This year Mr. Forsythe returned to his old job as head coach at Ramona High. Although the figures on paper showed a bad season, one win and six losses, the team's spirit re- mained high, and Ramona never seemed to let down for the entire season. Mr. Forsythe was ably assisted by Mr. Slattery, who experienced his first year in coaching football. The entire team and student body wish to extend their thanks to these two fine men.

Ramona finished up with one of the best records in the county, 20-2. The year started out with the pre-season tournament at Jul- ian with Ramona taking the championship trophy home. Continuing on the victory road, Ramona went into the 14th annual Kiwanis Basketball Tournament against Cor- onado High School. Fort the first time in Ramona’s Bas- ketball history, the boys went to the finals defeating Coronado, La Jolla, and Oceanside. In the finals, Ramona met a better team in San Dieguito. The county’s number 5 team took Ramona in the finals 58-47. Grant Mayer and Joe Luelf work for a re- bound against University while Dean Fogle looks on. Following this pre-season defeat, Ramona went into regular season play and rolled over every opponent by sizable mar- gins. At the end of regular play, the league championship trophy was presented to Ramona. A Coach. Gleen Forsythe.

The gym was bursting at the seams and the game was fast- and-hard fought. Ramona was edged out of the first round of the playoffs and concluded their basketball season with their loss to Sweetwater 50-47. The students are very proud of the fine showing of this year’s team and know next year’s team will try their best to live up to their predecessor.

Mrs. Jean McDonald Page 97 The Senior Class of ’61 has had a great and fun-filled year. They worked together as a close-knit group striving to meet every goal. They entered a float in the Homecoming Pa- rade entitled The Little. Train that Could which took first place. It took hours of hard work to build the train, but it was fun and rewarding. They presented the Senior Class Play entitled ' Down to Earth which proved to be a great success They planned a Ditch Day and went to Disneyland. The whole day was filled with fun and excitement by all, but upon arriving in Ramona late at night, the crowd of tired, exhausted Seniors departed. The class officers strove to uphold their du- ties and benefit the class. Towards the end of the year, there was a strong feeling of anx- iety. All looked forward to the glamour of being a senior, graduating, and then to begin a new way of life in the various fields that have been chosen. In all sincerity, it can be said that the Class of '61 will truly be missed.

There was Pam Baker, Allen Brown, Kathy Carter to be exact. And Sara Cowan and Karen Flickinger, who also got into the act, As we looked around the room, Dodie, Kenny, Raymond. Earleen and Terry Lou came to view. Learning readin', writin', and 'rithmeric, and teasing teacher, too. Then there stood Ray, Terry, Jim Pratt and Bob McIntosh waiting at the door, And Darlene. Mart, |udy, Marilyn and Judy Boortz just to name a couple more. The rest included Ardella, Jeanne, and Jeri, who did lend us a helping hand . . . To Steve Warnes, James Luckow, Peggy and Warren, who brought the list to an end. The Second grade, four more did arrive Including Sharon, Noel, Ruth Ann and Tommy, then Kay Geek made the total five. Third grade was a little different, 'cause we only added three, And Sandy, Alvin, and Donna Kendall brought a little variety. Fourth grade came upon us and with it we did fine, That John Griffin and Donna Smith had joined our never-ending line. Fifth grade brought the Walters boys, they'd never met before, and were no kin. But they got along as if they might have been. Sixth grade added Danny and Bill and Seventh grade we got one alone, Simonne. Eighth grade brought Shirley, Sandra and Danna here, And graduation followed in June of that year. Then in Freshman year, there came some more, Betty, Eddie, Carri, and Judy made it four. Then Sophomore year brought only two. But Ron and Fred we needed you, To form the Class of '61, We waited til the year was done, Because our Junior year did await. The enrollment of another eight. While Cliff, Pat, Diane, Sandy, Larry were waitin' around. With Deanna Smith, Karen Kelley and Ronald Brown. Senior year did come at last. And seven more had joined our class. Richard and Henry, were a few, Also Judy, Kurt and Sharon, too. Joe and Jim did quite a lot. Maybe some things they ought to riot. But all in all, we truly say, We're proud it all was planned this way. Although each year brought a new face In the Class of '61, each found a place. Yes, Senior Year had come at last, the day we'd all been waiting for, We plan to go our separate ways as fate will open its great door. We’ll walk on through the Daisy Chain, while years pass before our eyes, And we'll grow a little sadder, but we’ll smile though our heart cries. And if we never meet again, friendships will always be dear, I was a part of the Class of '61, and I'll never forget that year.
