Glendale Junior College - La Reata Yearbook (Glendale, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 177 of the 1938 volume:

LA R E AT A GLENDALE JUNIOR COLLEGE GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA • 1938 • Last year, La Reata, following the modern trend toward smaller and more compact publications, instituted a de- crease in size unique among college annuals. • Gratifying comment from many stu- dents convinced the 1938 La Reata staff that the substantial advantages of space and financial economy result- ing from a comparable size might well again be utilized. • The benefits of effective photog- raphy were foremost in the minds of the staff at all times. La Reata is, therefore, more pictorial than ever be- fore. It is the hope of the staff that this graphic presentation of the past school year may prove to be perma- nently memorable.

They sponsored two backward dances, and organized a date bureau which mate- rially aided in their success. A slack party earlier in the year proved worthy of future repetition. • Later they provided a program for the Patron ' s Reception in the library, cooperated with the W.A.A. in the in- terscholastic convention at Pasadena, and helped the sale of tickets for the Football Circus. • The year was climaxed by the year- ly Mother ' s Tea, a large undertaking closing a busy year. ARTHUR CRUICKSHANK GEORGE SHAVER • Plagued for the entire first semester by the illness of its officers, Art Cruick- shank and Rex May, the Associated Men Students entered into few school activities. • In direct contrast to the unfortu- nate fall semester, the spring semester was quite successful. The Freshman Reception in the Masonic Temple was the first accomplishment. Several well- planned assemblies proved the ability of President George Shaver and pro- gram director Lyle Smith • Other board members included: vice-president, Gordon McChesney; secretary, Ray Tavasti; publicity ma n- ager, Jennings Ballantyne; and club representatives, Buell Clement, Jim Modes, and Art Cruickshank. 24 Top Rcw; BOB KAESMEYER, President; BUELL CLEMENT, Vice-President; MARY LANGDON, Secretary; BILL ADAMS, Treasurer.

Its objec- tives are to further a closer and more cooperative relationship among clubs and to regulate competition among clubs. It is primarily a coordinating body cooperating in student body prob- lems and activities. Interclub compe- tition is mainly for the purpose of re- ceiving the cup which is awarded to the club winning the highest number of competitive events. A brief social period follows each monthly business meeting. Bill Crickard was president both semesters. FIRST ROW: Oder, Fans, Allison, Crickard, Priest, Shaver, Smith.

These programs were presented at the Little Theatre of the Verdugos. • The second semester a great many outstanding assemblies were given under Blair Woolstencroft ' s direction. Among these were Stary and Lee, professional bicycle riders; Jack Singer, sports writer; and Inspector Drake Lester. Some outstanding student talent was also given on programs. • During the second semester, assemblies were held in the bleachers because the grass was too new around the Student Union Building to carry out the plans there. 9 HANDBOOK • As a friend in time of need, the freshmen and new students of Glendale Junior College have long found the Handbook at the college to be invaluable. Ably edited by Don Gard and George Coyne, the contents of the 1937-38 edition included: a history of Glendale Junior College, the student constitu- tion, a calend ar containing the dates of all important school events, data on all of the clubs, and general college information. 5( Don McDonald, Editor Top Row: BETTY JANE ROGERS, Organizations; LYLE SMITH, Photography; BOB OVERHOLT, Activities; CRAIG KITTRIDGE, Athletics.

Using a new scheme of layout and a modern view of writing, the paper was immediately popular with the students • The El Vaquero staff issued thirteen editions and was one of the few college weekly papers to be published on Monday morning. It was admit- ted to the Intercollegiate Southern California Press Association. Professor Derrill Place acted as faculty adviser. fl SECOND SEMESTER • New ideas of layout and publication were again utilized during the second semester. Helen McWilliams was appointed the new editor, one of the few women to have held the position. • Several of the staff members won places in the annual Southern California Press Contest, held at San Bernardino. Helen McWilliams, Craig Kittridge, Helen Anderson, and Alton Dalrymple were among the individual winners. The staff as a whole won the contest on points. • Twelve issues were published during the spring semester. 54 H BPf u L • Jaycee ' s first dance of the 1937-38 season was the Fall Sport Dance held in the Gold Room of the Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Friday, October 15. Roxy Roth ' s orchestra furnished the music for the well-attended affair. It was one of the most successful sport dances in the history of the college, starting off the social season in the proper manner. • Lee Safford won the door prize of a sweater for himself and one for his partner. 55 D b D J • With Gil Evans ' orchestra providing popular swing music, the second sport dance of the year was held in the Glendale High School gymnasium. It was both an artistic and a financial success. Katheryn Allison was chairman of the committee which arranged the social affair at which stress was laid on the music rather than the surroundings. Also on the committee were Lyle Smith, Carl Fans, Phyllis Frame, David MacTavish, Bud Balderston, and Polly Perritt. • Tickets were sold at both of the high schools as well as on the campus. 56 • November tenth was the much anticipated night when the campus men became for once the entertained , and were escorted by the coeds to the annual Backward Dance. • Altadena Country Club was the setting for this year ' s highly successful affair. Vaquero Lyle Smith and his collegiate swing orchestra provided the music. • Dancing began at eight thirty, and the numbers on the brown and white dance programs were reversed to carry out the backward theme. • The various committees under the direction of the A.W.S. president, Yvonne Baker, were headed by Peggy King, Ruberta Higginbotham, Louis Bsntley, Mary Kay Browne, and Betty M. Smith. SP I] u u • Because the coeds of the campus decided to exchange places with the campus men for more than one evening a year, the A.W.S., under the leader- ship of Roberta Higginbotham, held a second Backward Dance on April eighth which proved to be fully as successful as its predecessor. • The new Los Angeles Breakfast Club on Los Feliz Drive was the setting for the occasion. Music was again supplied by Lyle Smith and his orchestra. • The brown and green programs were in artistic harmony with the rustic Spanish seeting. • The flower, ticket, and program committees were headed by Thelma Wil- cox, Velda Craven, and Barbara Durley. u ¥ • Despite rainy weather on the evening of Thursday, De- cember Ninth, approximately three hundred Glendale Junior College students gathered to witness the coronation of the campus queen and to dance to the music of Bob Mohr ' s orchestra at the Mid-Winter Semi-formal dance in the Vista Del Arroya Hotel of Pasadena. • Katheryn Allison, chosen by the student body to reign as Campus Queen for the year of 1 938, was crowned by Ted An- drews, student body president. • Katheryn was an impressive queen in a white lace gown adorned by a single huge or- chid. Phyllis Frame was chosen from the Freshman class to serve as Maid of Honor. „J ' J IERS • The afternoon and noon mixers again served a useful purpose by aiding students to become acquainted informally. • During the first semester most of these dances were given in the Little Theater of the Verdugos with the recording system providing the latest dance tunes. These were sponsored by various school clubs and held Wednesday afternoons. • The day of the opening of the Student Union building, the Charros organized a charity dance in the patio at which admission price was a can of food. • All of the following mixers were held at noon in the patio of the new building, the cafeteria paying for the recording system. 60 FRESHH J L • Held near the beginning of each semester, the traditional Freshman Receptions were once again given by the Sophomores. • The Fall reception took place at the Tuesday Afternoon Club with Syl Vann ' s Orchestra furnishing the music. At the Spring reception, the Masonic Temple dance floor was well filled with couples dancing to the music of Ralph Bertell ' s orchestra. The faculty formed the reception com- mittees and served at the refreshment table. To help further acquaintances, the former custom of having the students wear name-cards was again utilized. • The A.W.S. and A. MS sponsored and planned the affairs which again proved efficient mediums for the cultivation of friendships. :, v V £fc; D 1 • The fall production, Why Print That? by John Lewis Brumm, initiated production in the 212 Theatre, running from November 8 to 1 8, with both matinee and evening performances. • The play featured many new students, including Polly Perritt as Gilda Munn, William Sellers as Reeves Quinn, Jack Reddy as Speedy, Phyllis Frame, Ruth Addison and Barbara Lee Bellah as daughter and wife of Blair Woolstencroft, the editor. • Others in the cast included Alton Dalrymple, George Hood, Bob Sellers, Ted Johnson, Curtis Worley, Robert LaLonde, Donald Doty, Bill Irvin, Betty Scatchard, Aileen Mosher, Jack Holton, Marjorie Cummings, Fay Bybee, and Margaret Neir. 6: 1 -- - 1 J ' p - • Because of the numerous calls for one-act plays during the year from clubs and lodges, several short plays were produced. Among these, Oh Nono , a two-character blackout with Lyda Henderson and Alton Dalrymple was one of the most successful. • Courage, Mr. Greene, was the story of a bandit, Bill Strauss, who robs and remains to reward Mr. Greene, played by Hugh Swaggert.

Lawerence Salisbury controlled the new portable dimmer board. I • Climaxing the year ' s Dramatic season, Lost Horizons by John Hayden, was offered by the college drama department on March fifth and tenth. Due to flood and rain the original production dates were changed. • Comparable to Outward Bound as far as the theme is concerned, Lost Horizons shows the effect of a suicide on the lives of an incredible number of people through a maze of plots and sub-plots. Anton Chekhov in his famous play, Uncle Vanya , expresses the theme of John Hayden ' s drama in one effective line. — One must have the courage to face life without hope. • The play was directed by Professor Richard B. Lewis and technically suprvised by Professor Leroy T. Herndon. Those appearing in the cast were: Barbara Lee Bellah, Joy Williams, Curtis Worley, Theodore Rupp, George Spelvin, Bertha Schramm, Lyle Smith, Helen Greaves, Harriette Anders, Fanchon Brown, William Anderson, William Brower, Hilde Meyer- Radon, Bob Hall, Arthur Mittry, Eugene Marias, Earl Hughes, Clarence Walter, Ted Johnson, Laurell Arnold, William Floyd, Jack Reddy, Barbara Smith, Donald Doty, Jouett Ellett, Mary Kay Rhodes, Carol Mae Custer, Robert La Londe, Audrey Jensen, Lyda Henderson, George Hood, James Ap Roberts, Jamie Watson, David MacTavish, Jennings Ballantyne, June Cummings. 66 • Chosen as Glendale Junior College ' s annual musical comedy for 1938, was Sigmund Romberg ' s New Moon . • With a cast of ninety-three, the production involved the co-operation of the drama, art, social arts, and physical education departments.

Thirty- five members comprised this organization. • The Band this season turned to swing music as a new side line. Their rendition of Hold that Tiger proved highly popular with the students. Besides swing numbers the Band developed a large repertoire of college songs. • Professor Harland Shennum again led the musicians with student-direct- ing aid furnished by Howard Kay. • FIRST ROW.

Pf r LLL • With an increase of twice as many members as in 1937, the A Capella choir reached musical prominence this year under the direction of Professor Harland Shennum, director, and Howard Kay, student director. The choir sang in many Glendale and Burbank churches. It participated in the annual music festival at Long Beach on April 1 3 which was broadcast internationally. • The aim of the A Capella choir has been to furnish representative choral music and the members expect to have their own robes next year. • Joy Williams acted as president and Arlie Mills as librarian. 70 FIRST ROW: Professor Ploce, High, Brown, Jensen, Smith, Churchill, Marias. SECOND ROW: Rush, Irvin, Frank, Thacker, Edwards, Ap Roberts, Salisbury. • Interscholastic debating by exchanges of recordings was the novel accomplishment of the Glendale Junior College debating team with the University at Evansville, Indiana. • Coached by Professor Derrill Place, the team traveled to Bakersfield and Redlands for tournaments, competing also in one local contest. No out- standing wins resulted from these activities but in experience and friend- ships, much was gained. • The team consisted of the following debaters: Arnold Thacker, Ray Edwards, Robert Frank, Eugene Marias, Bill Irvin, Audrey Jensen, Elizabeth Churchill, Betty Smith, Mary Kay Browne, and Chester Salisbury. D • Much of the pep, enthusi- asm, and school spirit gener- ated at school games was due to the energy and resourceful- ness of the pep leaders • School songs at sport activi- ties this year were led by Inez Lowe, Dot Leonhard, and Mar- jorie Ream. These girls, as well as the yell leaders, received their offices by a special stu- dent body election held early in the fall and remained in of- fice until the end of the school year in June. Maroon skirts, beanies , and gold blouses were the special outfits worn by them this year. • Curtiss Worley, Jack Dewey, and Bernard Whitney acted as yell leaders. 72 D If • The second annual Pioneer Day was held this year at the Little Theatre of the Verdugos on Saturday, April 30th. In 1937 this occasion was an all-day carnival, but it was modified to an evening ' s dancing and festivity this year. • Because of the incomplete condition of the campus, it was impossible to have as elaborate an affair as last year but some booths for amusement, food, and various concessions were sponsored by the clubs. A beard-grow- ing contest was held, Bob Scholey winning the prize. • Ben Murphy ' s orchestra furnished the music. Many appeared wearing hill-billy and pioneer costumes which added to the gaiety of the evening. J • Mud in your eye — was the toast the sophomore men saluted the fresh- men with as they splashed and oozed their way to victory at the inter-class brawl. The social affair took place September 24th on the athletic field and was participated in by forty representatives of each class. The brawl was not a knock-down and drag-out affair, but consisted of five events in which sophomores were victorious in three. The remaining two were tied. • Blair Woolstencroft led the unorganized though fighting freshmen against the sophomore brutes captained by Bill Adams. The brawl was refereed by Bob Ramsey and Bob Kaesmeyer. 74 Arnold, Modes, Cruickshonk, Mrs. Allen, Mathis, York, La Chasse, Packard. 1 n rryrn r ill Ft tri f • For several years Glendale Junior College students have busily raised funds and donated graduating gifts for the long awaited cafeteria. The vision finally became a reality when, on February 14, the new Student Union building was opened to the students and faculty. Gene York ' s staff of assistants, Al La Chasse, Jim Modes, Laurell Arnold, Tex Allen, Kingman Packard, and Leonard Andrews, have been a credit to the management of Mr. Mathis and the receipts promise to repay quickly the students ' efforts. Mrs Smith ' s fine cooking and the soda fountain have been utilized by approximately four hundred and fifty students each day. West, McDonald, Sipple, Rush, Sandison, Wells, Fleschner, Minasian. 15 • With a sales volume larger than ever before, the Cooperative Bookstore successfully ended the first year on the new campus. Originally occupying the administration building, the Bookstore was moved into the new Student Union Building in February. • Two parties furnished social recreation for Manager Charles Fleschner and his staff of student employees. A stag dinner-theatre party took place in the fall. The annual dinner-dance was held at the Wilshire Bowl March 1 I. • Assistant managers for the year were Bob Sipple and Bob Sandison. Socko Minasian, Don McDonald, Philip Rush, Bill Wells, and Melvin West were clerks. 76 FIRST ROW: MacTavish, Hamil, Granger. SECOND ROW: Chambers, Almassy, Grunewald. J d - - 1 J • The student accounting office is the financial intermediary between the school, the clubs, and the students. • Ordinarily the treasurer of the student body acts as manager of the accounting office, but this year, due to unforeseen difficulties, Virginia Chambers retained the office which she held a year ago. Assisting her were Gail Hamill, Viora Grunewald, Thomas Almassy, Dave MacTavish, Frances Heath, and Richard Granger. • Professor Loyd S. Noble, faculty advisor, selects outstanding students from his bookkeeping and accounting classes to serve in this capacity. f f ?---- -v «r '  ' -.

Subscrip- tions for various magazines reached a total of 125. • Mrs. Nichols was aided the first semester by Lorene Langworthy and the second semester by Jane Putman, as well as by a large student staff. • Th new library has been aesthetically enhanced by the paintings, which were past gifts of graduating classes, and by the flower displays in the new Chinese bowl. u D • The second annual Glendale Junior College Student Congress, sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa, was held here March 31, 1938. The Congress, designed to stimulate student interest in current questions, was devoted to problems of Labor and Peace . Meeting in groups to discuss subdivisions of the two main topics, students framed bills calculated to determine college senti- ment. Later in the day a general session was conducted in the Library to discuss further and to vote upon the resolutions. • Robert Frank, president of Phi Theta Kappa, was in general charge. Assisting him were Eugene Marias, William Irvin, Bob Dinkel, Arnold Thacker, and Mary Kay Browne. McFettridge, Bobier, Leonhard, McGrath, Minasian, Eshom, Weber. D V • Under the personal supervision of Socko Minasian, Glendale Junior College held a handicap golf tournament, February 21, at the Chevy Chase Course. Thirty-six men entered the competition, Pat McGrath proving to be a dark horse victor. Trophies were awarded to Pat McGath and to Jim Bobier, who placed second. A prize also went to Frank Weber, whose unbelievably high score proved his deserve for some consolation. • The men were backed up by thirteen co-ed scorers. The girls who checked up on the winners, each received one of the pendants sold in the bookstore for their encouraging zeal. D • ll I D n 1 • Phi Rho Pi, the local chapter of the national honorary forensic fraternity, Tau Kappa Alpha, is composed of those students who have won debates in ac- credited competition for the school. Keeping these members together and providing them with varied debating competition is the purpose of the fra- ternity. • The officers of the past year have been Bill Irvin, president, and Eugene Marias, secretary-treasurer. Professor Derrill Place acted as faculty adviser. This year, the new members of the group were initiated at a joint cere- mony with Long Beach chapter, at which time a debate was held. Other activities included tournaments at Bakersfield, Occidental, and Redlands. FIRST ROW: Professor Place, Smith, Brown, Irvin, Manas, Jensen, Churchill. SECOND ROW: Frank, Hi Thacker, Salisbury.
