Mr. Black explains the timing in debate to one of his students.


Mr. Paul Black has taught speech for only three years, b u t in this time he has emphasized this field to such an extent that now Los Alamos H igh School is recognized throughout the state for its superior speech students. His pupils have won speech and acting awards. H e sponsors the H illtalkers, a debate club, and has started a local chapter of the N ational Forensic League. Mr. Black’s activities aren’t only in the speech field. H e holds the position of the faculty assembly chairm an and has the responsibility of organizing the daily bulletin for the public address system. For his genuine interest in the high school students, we dedicate the 196.S-64 La Lom a to him.

La Loma Ties School to Out-of-School Foreword As we look back on the past year of school we rem em ber the teachers, the courses, the boy or girl who sat in front of us in English, the LA being rolled off B urnt M ountain. These pass through the m ind as fond and humorous memories. A t the same time, we recall the dates, the snowball fights, and the fun we had after school. For most of us, these com bined to make another year speed by. O ften, a phone call m eant a picnic, bowling or some other kind of recreation. T h e 1964 edition of the La Loma strives to give you an accurate reflection of another com­ plete school year and also to serve as a rem inder of several of the many out-of-school activities.

A Student’s Life Includes Spc Suulents made their strong backing d I-os Alamos H igh School known at the various sports activities througliout the year. A lthough .some sports such as track, wrestling, swimming, and others were not as widely attended as the larger team sports, the screaming crowds at football and basketball games left no doubt that the school was squarely behind its athletes. Packed stands saw the T opper lootball players reach the state semi-finals and cheered the basketball team all the way to the state cham})ionship. Swimmers won fourth spot in the state, and high school wrestlers came through their season in fifth place.

Cheerleaders hold a small pow-wow to decide the next yell for the team.

Assemblies Give Welcome Break Assemblies of all species gave students a wel­ come break from their regular classroom work. A lthough some would have enjoyed the time more if allowed to go home, the m ajority of students were able to find something of interest in the varied assembly program. Assemblies such as those presented by the Student Council, the explanation of school club goals, the annual awards and senior assemblies, and the campaign speeches given by candidates for Student Coun­ cil offices gave students a closer look at the different phases of school life. O ther programs simply entertained with musical presentations or skits.

A highlight of the ENMl' Band concert was the Dixieland combo.

A different-type a.ssembly was the Polynesian Adventure for paying students only. Pete Humphrey gives his impression of the cafeteria as Judy Espinoza ignores him during the yearbook assembly.

Entbusiasm was shown at the last pep rally before State de­ spite the fact that many students didn’t feel strongly enough to attend.

Student-faculty assemblies sponsored by the Student Coun­ cil discussed such topics as grades, extra-curricular activi­ ties, and the purpose of high school.

Dances Are Main Social Life Several dances provided an opportunity to get together w ith one’s best girl or boy. T h e H om e­ coming Dance was held in September after a full day of Homecoming activities. T h e Christ­ mas season brought with it a formal dance. Girls jum ped at the chance to invite their own dates to the two girl-ask-boy activities of the year, the Sadie Hawkins Dance and the Pep C lub’s Sweet­ heart Dance. Prom, the most anxiously awaited event of the school year, rounded out the school’s social season.

Central Offio Seeks Balance

Well known to high school students, Dr. C. W. Richard serves as superintendent of Los Alamos schools.

“T his year greater emphasis was placed upon seeking a balanced program throughout the schools for each individual w ith the facilities to carry out the program ,” stated Dr. C. W. Richard, superintendent of Los Alamos Schools. T h e data processing for the scheduling this year was worked out through the IBM process. T h e balanced program was facilitated through scheduling students in connection w ith the IBM data processing. IBM was also used in report­ ing grades and m aintaining student progress records, and became a common p art of Los Alamos H igh School. W ork began on the new buildings and addi­ tions scheduled for the high school next year w ith the clearing of the houses occupying the space west of the Civic A uditorium . T h e added facilities will provide more efficiency in the supervision of classes. T h e gradually gaining enrollm ent during the year was nearly equal to th at of the previous four-year high school. T h e student body num­ bered about 860 w ith an expected 975 for next year.

“T h e senior year is always a year which causes seniors to be uneasy because o£ the sud­ den change from high school to college. Life is getting m ore complicated, there is greater dem and on students, and they m ust be better prepared for the future. But if they have done well during high school, they have no reason to be frightened.” These were the words of Mr. George Joyce, principal, as he com mented on the challenges of the senior class. Mr. Joyce also pointed out other character­ istics of Los Alamos H igh School in its second year as a three-year high school. One note­ worthy item was th e pre-school sophomore English class which provided several students opportunities to take on additional electives. D uring the year considerable attention was paid to plans for the changes in the school plant for next year and the corresponding additions to the curriculum , especially w ithin the vocational building which will house several new courses. Mr. Joyce summed up the year by rem arking that the high school has rem ained a com pre­ hensive school offering the students a variety of subjects.

Education books and all the high school textbooks come under the observation of Mr. George F. Joyce, high school principal.

Writing Stressed T h e English departm ent continued its empha­ sis on students’ composition w riting this year. Some form of w riting was done on the average of once a week. Students were kept busy with the w riting of book reports and research papers. Lay readers were used this year by many of the high school’s English teachers to grade mechanics on students’ themes leaving the con­ tent evaluation to the individual teacher. Because of the work piling up on the English departm ent, an additional teacher became nec­ essary. Miss H arriet W hisler reduced not only the overload of work b u t also the num ber of students in each class.

Economics Added T h is year a new Economics course was added to the history departm ent. T h e course, taught by Mr. G erald Barry, presented a study o£ m an’s attem pts to solve his unlim ited needs in the fields of production, distribution, and consump­ tion. A nother new class was the honorary Ameri­ can H istory class, which was offered to juniors who had m aintained an A average during their sophomore history course and who had expressed an interest in the subject. A nother new develop­ m ent in the history departm ent this year was the organization of an Intern atio n al R elations Club.

Math Class New T h e mathematics departm ent oi l.os Alamos H igh School is under the direction of Mr. James Meaders, who is also the jiresident ol the New Mexico Council of Tetichers of Mathematics. T his year a new General M ath course was offered to students. T h e m aterials lor this new course were developed by tetichers at Valley H igh School in A lbuquer(|ue. T he course is a m odernization of the old General M;ith course with different adaptations, methods, and m ate­ rials. T h e Illinois M ath program, considered the best preparatory course for Calctilus and College Mathematics, was used again for the fourth year. Added to the m ath staff this year was Mrs. Anne Phillips, who taught M ath II, Consumer Math, and Plane G e o m e try . Mrs. Phillips worked at the high school last year as a practice teacher.

A new addition this year for the girls was folk dancing. Mr. R obert Cox’s classes participated in sim­ ilar activities with some exceptions, such as the H extathlon, which consists of track and field events. In swimming classes lifesaving skills were covered along with knowledge of basic strokes. Boys had swimming every Friday and girls every Wednesday. New for the girls is a unit of folk dancing during which the girls learned dances from throughout the world.

T o p students in Typing, Shorthand, and Bookkeeping attended the competition. New in the commercial departm ent this year were Miss Mary Jane Kennedy, who taught T yping I, and Mr. Vernon Linnaus, who taught T yping I and Bookkeeping. Replacem ent of old m anual typewriters with new equipm ent helped to modernize the departm ent. A new course in D ata Processing is planned as an addi­ tion to the departm ent next year.

Speech students received training in the fundam entals of speaking as well as experience in oral interpretation, the tech­ niques of drama, and parliam entary procedure. Journalism students became fam iliar w ith different prin tin g and publishing techniques in their study of newspaper and yearbook produc­ tion. Students took a tour of the Santa Fe New Mexican and the prin tin g plant in Santa Fe where the high school paper is printed.

Library Available Students had the opportunity to use the li­ brary at night this year. It was hoped that this w ould reduce the num ber of students using the public library, b u t because of the small num ber of students taking advantage of the night hours, the program was not as effective as hoped. Each day an average of two students per pe­ riod assisted Mrs. Velma Butterfield, high school librarian, w ith library work.

O utside of their regular class activities, stu­ dents received advice and assistance through the special services available in the high school. T h e guidance departm ent a i d e d s t u d e n t s through the use of testing and special counseling. T his year, sophomores and juniors were tested to determ ine interest, aptitude, and college ability. P rinted materials and individual advice were available to students planning for college and vocational training. T h e guidance office also handled the immense job of scheduling. Miss Lucille H arm on, school nurse, was on hand to take care of any emergencies and to consult with students about s p e c i f i c health problems. An im portant part of Miss H arm on’s work was the testing of students’ eyesight. Mr. R obert Koch, remedial reading teacher, worked with students having special reading problems.

A rl work h\ I.iirrn Tnlhnndgr


As always llie liorseback rid­ ing is one of the more pop­ ular diversions at the annual Senior Trip, this year at Bishop’s Lodge.

Annual Senior Trip Is Fun Filled Day Cold water dampens spirits for a while, but seniors take advantage of the pool regardless and use it as head­ quarters for all activities.

Charcoal grilled hamburgers with ample accessories provide the noon meal for eager seniors.

Sure it rains, but not for long.


W hile the rest of the school continued to slave over desks, the liberated Senior Class was off to Bishop’s Lodge, May 25, for the annual Senior T rip. A lthough a rainy afternoon dealt a death blow to the usual Senior T rip sunburns, the students still filled the day w ith the activities available at the Lodge. Seniors swam, rode horses, played soccer and softball, beat faculty members at horseshoes, or joined the long line for the single tennis court. T h e most im portant part of the day for many was the food, and the students stayed for two meals of charcoal broiled ham burgers and steaks before leav­ ing for home in the evening.

Here goes another ringer for John Ahearne as Kit Taylor waits his turn in a game of horseshoes.

at Bishop’s Lodge Softball or grapefruit—Bill Savage swings for a homerun even while keeping his bubble gum bubble intact.

The one tennis court at Bishop’s Lodge is in use constantly for doubles, singles, and mixed doubles.

Finally that big steak dinner tops off the day with added zest from good humor.

Senior Float Wins First

Whoosh! And the seniors’ Victory III rocket Home­ coming float took off toward first place in the Home­ coming competition. The float’s slogan of "Exhaust ’Em, Toppers” was accompanied by regular bursts of exhaust from the rocket and was sufficient to exhaust the Espanola Hornet behind the rocket.

Senior Beatles Are Thinking Group

Who needs the Beatles? Los Alamos High has its own far-out group. Consisting of Steve Stein. Mark Jasinski, Alan Embrv, Steve Sydoriak, and Larry Schuster, this group just stands around and thinks. The fad disappeared after a few days, however, and the boys resumed their normal behavior patterns.

Junior Problem Is Typical One After electing class officers early in the fall, the Ju n io r Class set out to face the traditional junior problem —raising money for the annual J u n io r-S e n io r P ro m a n d Banquet. Juniors were seen at both football and basket­ ball games selling c a n d y , gum, and soda p o p a n d throughout the school sell­ ing bookcovers under the di­ rection of head sponsor, Mr. Alan H errin. Early in November the ar­ rival of the school rings wasthe cause of excitem ent throughout the Ju n io r Class. T h e juniors’ effort on their Homecoming float won little reward as their float with the slogan of “T o p p er the W orld” failed to place. W ith a spoof on Castro’s Cluba, the juniors took part in the T o p p er Revue program and helped to carry out the theme of “T attletale T elstar.”

Sophomores Are First New Class Sophomores entered the high school as the first new class since Los Alamos had become a three-year high school the jrrevious year. Initiation ceremonies finally gave way to a new trad itio n —working on the LA on B urnt M ountain. Sophomores turned out to re-build the stone letters that had been torn down during the summer and give them a new coat of w hite­ wash although the letters were later torn down again. T h e second re-huilding had the entire town’s support. Money raising piojects included first of all selling popcorn during the football season with a car wash for a later project. M eeting a barage of tests from the guidance departm ent early in the year, sophomores be­ came adjusted to the emj)hasis on academic excellence. School was not all studies, however, as hom e­ rooms competed in the annual Homeroom Vol­ leyball T ournam en t and were well represented by a team from Mr. G randstaff’s room which won the consolation finals. By the year’s end the sophs were well adjusted to high school life and were taking steps toward being the future leaders at Los Alamos High. Heading the sophomore class are Doug .Secgmiller, vicepresident; Leroy Pacheco, president; Karla Stein, treasurer; and Lee Chambers, secretary. Not shown is Tom Haw-

Cheerleading Groups Work Together Varsity Donates Extra Money Varsity cheerleaders once again did an o u t­ standing job in prom oting school spirit for the various school activities. Senior Judy Lory was head cheerleader, and seniors accompanying her were Barbara A rchu­ leta and Connie Davis. Janice B arrington and Barbara Nachlinger, representing the junior class, completed the squad. Money from bake sales. T o p p er buttons, car

washes, and football ribbons, helped buy new uniforms. T h e cheerleaders planned to give the extra money earned this year to help next year’s group attend the cheering clinic. Keeping w ith tradition, the T o pper cheer­ leaders gave a dinner for visiting cheerleaders before each home football game in order to pre­ serve good relations with the various schools.

Posing at the Helen football game in their dark green fall uniforms are varsity cheerleaders Barbara Archuleta, Connie Davis, Judy Lory, Barbara Nachlinger, and Janice Barrington.

T o earn money for their uniforms, the junior varsity cheerleaders held bake sales and sold doughnuts in the teachers’ lounge.

Coach Hightower Reverses Record W hen Mr. Tom m y H ightow er came to Los Alamos for his first year as head football coach, he inherited a six game losing streak, a 1-8 wonlost record, and a young team. By the end of the season the I ’oppers had completely reversed the previous year’s record, won District 2A, and built a statewide reputation as a hard hitting football team. By the time school started the team was hold­ ing spirited practice sessions under the super­ vision of line coach Ray G randstaff and backfield coach Joe Segar. Each practice was planned out to the m inute in order to save valuable time. Sept. 13 m arked the beginning of the o u t­ standing season as the T oppers carried their coach off the field after a surprising victory over Santa Fe, the first win over the Demons since 1959.

Any chances of beginning a victory streak seemed small as the T oppers left for an after­ noon game w ith powerful R io Grande; but when the game was over, Los Alamos had out­ played the Ravens in the 90 degree heat, earn­ ing a big 14-0 win. Tw o weeks later, R aton, the defending dis­ trict champions, came to Los Alamos favored to win the crucial district game. T h e ‘ Toppers jum ped to an early lead and then held on for a tension-packed 12-9 upset.

Friday The 13th Is Lucky Day Having already deleaied Portales earlier in ilie seasorg Los Alamos steadily edged past the Rams at the State T o u rn am en t in a slow game to gain entrance to the state linals. T hings looked dim lor the T oppers as they prepared for the linal State comjretition; their scheduled opponent, the St. M ichael’s Horsemen, had tleleated them lour times that season. But the team was not to he di.scouraged and went onto the playing floor with a determ ination and a trem endous desire to win. On this Friday the 13th, an unlucky day for the Horsemen, the final buz/.er showed the Topjrers victory.

'Moonlight and Roses’ Setting A <aits

Dinner before Prom is almost a tradition.

An evening ol “M oonlight and Roses” awaited couples when they jjassed through an archway into the Junior-Senior Prom. T h e Parish H all had taken on the appearance of a rose garden, with even the light being given a rose color by the red streamers on the ceiling. A fountain at the center of the dance floor sent out water of constantly changing colors, and the Mellow d'ones of Santa Fe provided music behind the columns of ;i South­ ern mansion. Prom goers attem pted to make the Prom date an all-night affair with such long-standing tra­ ditions as before-the-dance dinner, after-thedance parties, and breakfast at Bandelier.

Walking through the archway into a “Moonlight and Roses” setting begins the Prom night.

A highlight of the beautiful decorations is a fountain with changing lights and floating flowers.

Slow music and long formals adds to the atmos[)hcre at Prom.

High School Career Comes to Close A higli school career closed and ihe door opened on a new life for the Class of 'Gl at Commenceineni and Ifaccalanrcate exercises. As the religious part of graduation, the Bac­ calaureate services Sunday, May 24, included an address by the Rev. M artin G raebner, who called on seniors to seek otit the kind of holiness that makes a person di.ssatisfied with imperfect answers to m en’s problems. Members of the Senior Class pre.sented a musical addition to the afternoon. yV cello solo by Melissa I ’odd, a vocal selection by Lany Howes, and a piano num ber by Ifarbaia Devine made the [rrogram complete. A lthough a brisk wind made tassels unridy, it was the only chill on the occasion when the ’64 Seniors arrived at the football field Thursday evening. May 28, for Commencement. T h e emphasis was on the future as Valedic­ torian Janice Dinegar and Salutatorian Elaine Leachman specidated about the paths oj^en to the graduating students. Guest speaker Prof. Marshall R. Nason, a consultant for the Peace Corps T rain in g Center at the University of New Mexico, pointed out the rewards of foreign service, saying that the .American youths who filled the need for personal communication between the U nited States and other countries would be serving themselves as well as others. T h e evening reached its climax in the presen­ tation of dijtlomas, and then the new graduates moved their tassels to the right and left the high school for the last time.

Philip Mastronarcli, Los Alamos’s exchange student, proudly accepts his diploma from Mrs. Rene Mills, president of the .school board.

Bowling Is Popular Activity A popular group activity in which the stu­ dents participate is bowling. This provides a release from the week’s work and gives students an opportunity to meet socially. T o score tvell is generally not the main objective of the eve­ ning although the competitive spirit adds some meaning. For the most part a bowling alley is another of those out-of-school activities that make up a student’s life.

Olions Continue Fine Drama Work; T h e Olions, working in the style that has made them one of the finest dram atic groiijrs in the community, produced three one-act j)lays and a comedy during the school year.

Fall Production Is One-Act Plays For their first perform ance of the year, the Olions jnit on tiiree one-act plays—“T h e Plot to Overthrow Chrislm as” and “I 'h e Odyssey of Runyan Jones” both by N orm an Corwin and “T h e O ctogenarian” by Joe V. Grabus. N orm an Corw in’s plays were originally for the radio and used special lighting and sound effects. In “T h e Plot to O verthrow Christm as” extensive use is made by the speaking chorus to narrate and explain sections of the play. “T h e O ctogenarian” is a m odern play dealing with the old theme of reasons of things. T he effect depends m ainly on the actions of main charactens, as there was no scenery or change of set.

Satire on Army Is Spring Play T h e spring play p u t on by the Olions was “Teahouse of the A ugust M oon.” T h e play is a satire on the Army after W orld W ar II and is the story of the American occupa­ tion of Okinawa. T h e Americans enter a small village with or­ ders to build a school. Oddly enough, the Army ends up building a teahouse. T h e villagers and the village provide the color for the play.

Pep Club Again

Cheering the Toppers on to victory is the main job of the Pep Club, and they seem to do a pretty good job.

T h e Pep Club again led the school spirit this year by cheering and supporting the T opper athletic events. D uring the basketball season the officers and members of the club gave speeches at the games welcoming the visiting team. Members of the club received points for at­ tending athletic events, serving on committees taking numbers, painting signs for buses, and for participating in the two skits given at pep assemblies. D uring the week before the district basketball tournam ent, the Pep Club circulated scrolls which the students signed indicating their sup­ port for the Toppers. T h e highlight of the club was the annual Sweethearts Dance. A lthough the dance failed to bring in large profits, it was a success. T h e club was again the second largest in the school with about 200 members. Because of its size the club contributed $75, one of the largest donations, toward the Foreign Exchange Stu­ dent Fund.

Mem­ bers of the club built the many instrum ents which went into the balloon’s capsule and worked to improve them constantly throughout the year. This project helped club members to gain a knowledge of radio communications, w eather instrum ents and measurements, wind conditions, camera settings and mountings, and parachute apparatus. T h e club also provided members with an op­ portunity to work on projects for the annual Science Fair, held this year in March at Cumbress Ju n io r H igh School.

Business Club Holds Annual Dance

Attentively ob.serving installation ceremonies, parents and business club members seem to be enjoying them­ selves here.

Mr. Vernon Linnaus joined Mrs. Bess Hegler in sponsoring the T o p p er Business Club and in aiding the members in their various activities. T h e Snowball Dance, sponsored annually by the T o p p er Business Club, was held this year in February. Club members sold candy to rai.se the money needed for this dance. T h e prospect of attending H ighlands Day in A pril caused club members to work to gain the num ber of points necessary for the annual trip. Many of the members achieved the required num ber of points. A m eeting held early in the year by the Na­ tional Secretaries Association presented an op­ portunity for girls in the club to learn more about their future in the business world.
