W. C. A., has functioned well in the social activities of college women. The initial cabinet consisted of Evlyn Lawrence, president, Lila Wolfe, vice-presi- dent, Mildred McLeay, secretary, a nd Frances Kincaid, treasurer. Dr. Elizabeth Collette and Miss Josephine Renier are the advisers. OLLEGE Y-Men interested in Y. M. C. A.-Junior College affiliation organized the College Y, an organi- zation similar to the women's Student Club. A strong Christian fellowship among men of the junior College is the object of this group. Men associated with the Y. M. C. A. have been instrumental in completing organi- zation plans. Wider campus activity will be manifest next year in the form of assemblies, entertainments, and athletic competit'ons.

32 SAGA for 1928 Back row, left to rigbl: Saueressig, Denning, fin! row: Geiger, Knox, S. Bond, B. Bond, DeWitle, Harrison, Cook, Goodman AGA for 1928-With just five weeks to arrange for pictures, sell tickets, secure printing and binding accommo- dations, and compile a year's records, the Saga staff has worked at triple speed. With- out cooperation from all of the staff mem- bers the task could never have been com- pleted. Full assistance from the Administra- tion was also needed and supplied. Doubt as to the advisability of an annual this year existed till a late date, when the Student Body declared its unwillingness to let this first momentous year go unheralded. Over three hundred and fifty students sub- scribed to a petition in favor of the annual, and a circulation of more than that num- ber was assured at the time'the book went to press. They felt that although there is no graduating class, a chronicle of events should be available. Saga is the name submitted by George Harrington and selected by the Cabinet as most suitable. Bradford Bond, editor, and Agness Cook, associate editor, established the year book's policies and handled routine matters such as copy and proof reading. Meldo Harrison, Harold Saueressig, and Bond Goodman directed the business relations of the publica- tion as business manager, associate business manager, and circulation manager respectively. Eva Geiger as pictorial 'editor was assisted by Walter Miller in preparing the photo- graphic work in the publication. Work in the other departments fell -to Susan Bond and Nellie DeWitte, administration, Ernest Denning, campus, and Douglas Knox and Hugh Linnell, men's athletics. Miss Florence Carpenter was general ad- viser, while Miss Evelyn Olsen of the Junior College Art Department and Robert F. Lane of the print shop contributed in strong measure to the success of the year book's ap- pearance. j. P. Kuper supplied the photography for the publication, the Pacific Engraving Com- pany furnished the engravings, and the Beach City Printing Company took care of the presswork. The usual procedure is to combine the an- nuals in the high school and junior college. Long Beach Junior College is one of the first in the United States to publish a separate year book in its initial year.
