Frank Murillo Eulogio Fos Hector Sanchez Because of this last fact, we know that we make better men of ourselves if we use a little self-denial and control our wills, even though it may be difficult at times. After this lengthy, philosophical, and perhaps, windy introduction into the mind of the freshman class, we should next like to consider the freshman's development of our College’s social organ. We must consider here two main factors, which directly influence the social system’s growth. First, the freshmen made social growth possible by the mere fact that the majority of this year's student body is composed of freshmen. Secondly, a majority of freshmen are leaders in the different fields of social activity. Freshmen are prominent in sports, drama, publication of the school annual, the many extracurricular activity clubs, elections, and school spirit in general. It’s no wonder we are proud to be freshmen, the class of '60. Tom Bullock Dave Burney Abe Chacon Paul Callaghan 56

Any thinking student will understand that we do not condemn these things. On the contrary, we encourage them. They are good when used with moderation; they are bad when abused by excess. We freshmen accept this principle, and putting words to action, we intend to oppose most stringently any abuse which may begin to infiltrate our social system. For this reason, as may be seen after reading the following, we freshmen have taken a growing and active interest in the affairs of the student body. This interest inevitably leads us to positions of authority, and in such situations we are able to use our power to curb the many tendencies toward abuse. Furthermore, we realize that 99 per cent of the time abuses arise in the ranks and are instigated by student body members. Chuck Barrack Jack Barreiro John Bowman Joe Bryans 55

One of the first organizations founded this year was the annual staff. Its formation was possible only because enough freshmen were interested and worked on the project. We have proof for this claim in the records of the school's past history. An Annual was attempted in the past, but was never successfully completed. There was no laboring force to supply the demand for workers. But this year . . . the book you now read is the product of the annual staff’s efforts, which, we think, have paid off well. Bob Gengler, our Sports Editor, and his capable assistant, John Bowman, give us an excellent coverage on the highlights of the year’s sports. Roger Pollacci's numerous cartoons lend a jovial, light air to the Yearbook. Tom Bullock, our Write-Up Editor, turns out a thorough report 57 John Cihak Jim Conley Tom Davis Ed Downey
