FACULTY ° How to be a success — work part time at college! At least this is the most common suggestion sent in by J. C. alumni in answer to our faculty’s inquiries for improvement of courses and extra curricular activities. This was part of the faculty’s efforts this past year in giving students guid¬ ance to correct courses in preparation for later positions or entrance to universities. Their emphasis was on counsel for entering students to help them plan their courses to contain all necessary studies and on improvement of the courses themselves. One of the most important discoveries made by this work was, as mentioned above, the value of collegiate part-time work to acquaint students with the commercial world while receiving academic training. Attention also has been given this year to the problem of uninterrupted study at school. As a result of faculty in¬ vestigation two new study rooms have been opened to the students, the Alpha Gamma Sigma room, or Little Art Gal¬ lery, and Mr. Sauble’s old office. In both these rooms, students can study any length of time without being dis¬ turbed by “library noises’’. Mr. Werner proudly explains the completion of these several projects of the faculty as the result of real cooper¬ ation on the part of the members in working toward the same goals. The faculty have been more closely organized this year for educational and advisory purposes. This close organization of the faculty has also given them opportunities for becoming acquainted. Mr. and Mrs. Werner gave their annual dinner for the faculty at the Santa Lucia Inn in September, welcoming new mem¬ bers to the faculty; and the faculty in return honored the Werners at a reception at the Normandie Inn at Carmel in October. The Faculty Wives, organized for the first time this year, is another manifestation of the closer relations of the faculty. The club meets once a month at various faculty houses. Once a year it entertains single women, and once a year the men.

FACULTY ° Four new instructors came to join the junior College faculty last fall to keep abreast of the swelling enrollment. George Aughinbaugh, commerce instructor, received his A. B. at the University of California in 1933. From 1933 to 1938 he was office manager for the Golden State Com¬ pany. Now, in addition to his duties as a commercial teacher, Mr. Aughinbaugh keeps the books for the quick lunch service at the Girls Club House. Every day sees him in a spotless white apron at his desk in the kitchen doorway checking receipts. If you watch long enough, you’ll even see him genially wiping dishes when work piles up. Anne Lescisin, also instructor in commerce, received her M. A. at Indiana University in 1932; studied at Uni¬ versity of California in 1934-35, and was assistant in¬ structor at U. C. in 1935-36. She also taught at St. Helena High School before coming to Salinas in 1938. Miss Les¬ cisin is now the head of the Junior College Placement Bureau and has found positions for 101 students since February. Lloyd Winter won his B. A. at University of California in 1933 and did graduate work there in 1933-34. “Bud”, as the boys on his teams all know him, was lightweight coach at Watsonville High School from 1934 to 1938. In the short time he was there he developed three champion¬ ship football teams, and three championship track teams in the Coast Counties League. Besides his coaching, Mr. Winter is also instructor in hygiene at J. C. and faculty adviser for the Battery. Wilbert Robinson, instructor in biology, botany, and chemistry, received his B. A. at San Jose State in 1937 and his M. A. at Stanford in 1938. Next year the faculty system will be enlarged with full¬ time instructors in chemistry, economics, home economics, and agriculture. Don’t be surprise if the girls sign up for Ag next year — the new instructor is reputed to be a cross between Robert Taylor and Tyrone Power. G.

FRESHMAN CLASS • 22 CHARLES STEFAN JEAN MEESE HERB JACOBSON • Under dynamic Charles Stefan, the freshman class made its mark this year with the most successful Junior College Pajamarino ever held. Charlie and his “boys” searched alleys, rubbish piles, business houses and even private homes for fuel to “burn Santa Rosa on the night of last November 10. The search was rewarded, for it was the largest bonfire yet built on the campus. After the fire was built, which took 71 hours, an effigy of Santa Rosa was placed on top and guards stationed to keep the sophomores away. At 8:15 the huge pile was touched off, and the rally began around the roaring flames. Mr. Murrin surprised all with a pep talk for the next day’s conference championship game with Santa Rosa. Following the rally, the pajama-clad rooters danced in the gym to the music of Jack Nelson’s orchestra. During the dancing a thrilling “meller-drammer” entitled “A Winter’s Tale,” written and directed by Jeanette Light, was presented by Bill (“Ras”) Rasmussen, Frances Crosetti, Charles Stefan, Jack Nelson and Jack McGowan. Freshman class offices remained unchanged for the two semesters, except for the presidency. Charles Stefan, whose faithful, untiring work alone made the Pajamarino so successful, refused, in favor of Gerald Hansen, to run a second time. Gerald has also been an able president in every way. Herbert Jacobson retained his difficult office of secretary-treasurer, and Jean Meese was Social Chairman. Mr. Langdon acted as the faculty advisor for the year.
