VALLEY'S NEW LIFE continued
From the opening of school, faith-
ful fans cheered a losing football
team through the long season under
the leadership of yell king Gary Pat-
terson. They were rewarded for their
enthusiasm, however, when basketball
came along and the Monarchs boasted
a winning squad.
Enthusiasm, not only in athletics
but in all facets of college life, has
been in evidence this year at Valley.
Possibly the new buildings helped
revive the school spirit Valley was
known for when the college first
started.
In this school year 1961-62, the col-
lege campus has begun to take on an
air of permanence. The many arcades
join the new buildings and establish
a mall at the heart of the campus.
Buildings for special activities have
provided modern permanent facil-
ities to replace the bungalows of the
asphalt jungle.
Monarchs, '62 version, will remem-
ber that they were the first to use the
new drama building, the first one of
its kind on a junior college campus
in California. Here is a complete
theater-main stage, horseshoe stage,
classroom stage, dressing rooms and
even showers.

A Step up the ladder of Success
The drama department initiated it
by the presentation of the three act
,play "Dark of the Moon" by Howard
Richardson and William Berney.
Enthusiasm in drama students is
reflected in attendance at plays.
"Public response is good," says
Ernest P. Mauk, head of the drama
department. "During the 10 perform-
ances of 'Summer and Smoke' in the
Little Theater bungalow, we had an
attendance of only 390. 'Dark of the
lVloon,' the first play in the new
building, brought in 1,600 persons in
six performances."
In agreement with Mauk's view is
Duane Ament, drama major. Al-
though he attended two other col-
leges before coming to Valley, Ament
says that equipment at Valley is "the
best I've ever used in my theater
experience."
Not only the actors but also the
college musicians experienced the
thrill of using a new building for the
first time. And this building is not
just another classroom building with
a piano moved in.
Of the new building, Richard
Knox, head of the department, says,
"It is the most beautiful and func-
tional music building in the city."
Spaciousness of the new building
was expressed by Diana Ingalls,
music student, when speaking of the
"great feeling of not being so
crowded."
Students.and teachers alike feel
that new spirit has been added to the
department along with the new
building. The ability, of being able to
use any one of the five teaching sta-
tions without conflicting with the
other four is appreciated by Valley's
musicians after use of the small
bungalow across Ethel Avenue.
Replacing the two temporary
bungalows used as a cafeteria is a
spacious new cafeteria with large
dining rooms, small dining rooms and
outdoor eating area.
Traditional college bull sessions
over a cup of coffee are always in
progress during the school day.
A sign of Vc1IIey's
phenomenal growth is
the crowded
Administration
building during
registration time.

Typical of Valley's
instructors is Dr.
Aura-Lee Ageton, who
is always happy to be
of help to students.
Ralph Caldwel1's basketballers
used the new Men's Gym for the first
time this year, and loyal rooters en-
joyed watching the players in their
striking new suits in the well-lighted
gym.
Athletes at Valley held a second
official dedication preceding the first
basketball game. They felt that the
guest speaker at the original dedica-
tion in the spring didn't have his
heart in it. Speaker at the original
affair was Dr. Robert Maynard
Hutchins, who abolished football
when he was president at the Uni-
versity of Chicago.

VALLEYKS' NEW LIFE continued
Up, up and over
Along with last year's permanent
classroom buildings, four of them, an
administration building and a library,
the new 1962 buildings begin to give
Valley a feeling of finally becoming a
college.
Camping out days on the Valley
campus are "fading away."
Promise of more in the future
keeps spirits high for those who still
crowd into the bungalow area at the
corner of Burbank Boulevard and
Ethel Avenue.
In one more year, Fall '63, the
journalism and photography depart-
ments will move into a permanent
facility. Other departments looking
forward to Fall '63 as V-Day are art,
mathematics, earth science, home
economics and business.
Probably one of the most sensa-
tional and practical additions will be
the planetarium.
But all will not be complete until
another bond issue is passed. If bonds
are passed this J une, then Valley will
be assured of a complete permanent
college campus.
Greater and greater numbers of
students enroll at Valley. More than
12,000 registered during the fall
semester - 5,000 day and 7,000 eve-
ning students. The spring enrollment
set a new record again. For 12 years
in a row the spring roster went up.
There are 410 teachers, 160 day and
250 evening.
Guarding against bigness to the
detriment of the individual student
stands the college president, William
J. McNelis.
Valley must never lose sight of the
importance of the individual, he says.
"We are growing very rapidly, but I
can assure you that members of the
staff will at all times be interested in
their students as individualsf'

COI'Ltil'LU6d The path to theatrical
"All the wor1d's a stage," but Valley
has its own special one
The Independent party presented
such men of distinction as Congress-
man James C. Corman, Attorney
General Stanley Mosk and State
Senator Richard Richards in a series
of political forums.
The parade of notables does not
stop with politicians. The Athenaeum
sponsored such well-known persons
as Dr. Willard Libby, the Reverend
Martin Luther King and Ogden Nash.
A new interest in the college has
been shown this year by Monarchs
in their reaction toward campus
publications. The Valley Star, college
paper and winner of 14 consecutive
all-American awards, found it neces-
sary to increase the number of copies
printed from 3,000 to 4,500 to keep
the paper stands filled. Sceptre, eve-
ning magazine, upped its number of
pages from 16 to 20. And the Execu-
tive Council voted to give Crown,
being published for the second year
as a magazine-type annual, free of
charge to holders of student body
cards.
entertainment ends in

Theater Arts building
But most important of all, the cur-
riculum at Valley provides an educa-
tion for the ambitious students at-
tending. This year Valley offered 250
courses in 50 different fields, Dr.
Stewart Marsh, dean of curriculum,
says.
High standards of achievement are
evidenced by success of Valley grad-
uates, both by those who transfer to
four-year colleges and universities
and those who prepare for a vocation
after obtaining an associate in arts
degree.
Admission requirements are chang-
ing from an "open-door" to a "revolv-
ing door," President McNelis says.
He was referring to a tightening of
academic standards, typical of 1961-
62.
Students at Valley respond to this
increased demand on their ability by
superior achievement.
Yes, Los Angeles Valley College is
different.
A versati Ie ma n
Ready to cope with any situation
In a college Where the administration 'is
geared to giving the students the best educa-
tion possible with the best facilities possible,
William J. McNelis stands as the head of a
staff that makes individual guidance a con-
stant Watchword.
President of Los Angeles Valley College
since September, 1959, McNelis, a Warm-
hearted Irishman, keeps his office door open
to all students and receives them as one
V L,,.s .,
would close friends, giving to each caller in
turn his undivided attention and a ready
smile to put him at ease.
A college president who drives a Volks-
Wagen, McNelis is part and parcel of student
life. Having worked his way through school,
he understands the problem of the student
who must pay his own Way.
"You name it and I did it," he says of his
own college employment.
Never to busy to
welcome ci visitor,
President McNelis
pauses in his paper
work to flash a
friendly smile.

Doris, and their two sons, Steve and Don, he
attends almost every athletic event at Valley.
Here is a college president Whose interest
centers in the student, Whether at club day,
an athletic event or in the classroom.
President McNelis says, "Valley College is
constantly searching for the best means pos-
sible to serve the student and the com-
munity. The purpose of every activity, cur-
ricular or co-curricular, is to serve the needs
of the individual. Every effort is made by
the staff to give the student in attendance an
opportunity to demonstrate his ability to
succeed."
Popular with both students and faculty,
this college president has a personal integrity
that rings true. Beneath his quick wit lies a
seriousness and belief in education.
McNelis is eternally
grateful.

Deollcateol to youth
Stauffer first student body president does when
he sends 'flowers to Dean Royer at the beginning
, 0
of each school year
Retiring after 13 years with Valliey Col-
lege, Mrs. Nena Royer, dean of student activ-
ities, will end 45 years in the service of
youth.
The first dean selected for the Valley
College administrative staff, she chose to
work as close to the students as possible.
A popular adviser in every student activ-
ity, Dean Royer often finds her calendar
crowded from early until late, but with re-
markable ease, appointments come and go as
smoothly as guests drifting in and out of an
"open house."
With no hint of pressure, without clock
watching, Mrs. Royer receives students in her
office as graciously as guests in her home
and, like a doting parent, displays an entire
wall of her office lined with photographs of
student body presidents, each picture cap-
tioned with the student's name, class year
and the Royer touch: the student's nickname.
"Students are my life," she often has said,
laughingly telling how frequently they refer
to her as "Mother"
'tIt's a privilege and a responsibility to
work with young people, and every student
is entitled to be treated as a teacher would
want his own child treated."
"Find the good and build on it" is the
philosophy of the dean, who has never been
known to say an unkind word about anyone.
"I love young peoplef, says Dean Royer,
who teaches not by book alone, but by under-
standing as well.
Demonstrating an almost unmatched rap-
port with Valley students, her enthusiasm
fosters and typifies Valley's college spirit.
"The way to stay young," she says "is to
work with youth. The way to die young iS
to try to keep up with them."

Seven
deans
Administration at Valley College is
focused on the student. Having the
welfare of the individual student at
heart, administrators in this college
direct and help in every facet of
learning. Heading up education at
Valley are the deans and assistant
deans.
The most important aspect of a
college education-classroom learn-
ing - is headed by Dr. Stewart
Marsh, dean of instruction. Dr.
Marsh spends his time bringing the
"Moderator" Samuel Alexander,
acting assistant dean of
instruction, leads Valley College
faculty players in a true-to-life
version of "Open End."
Conversation at these coffee
breaks covers a wide range of
topics, often returning to talk of
students and student problems.
James Cox, assistant dean of
student activities, and Don Click,
dean of the Evening Division,
show delight during half time at
the Homecoming football game.
Deans Click and Cox were in
constant attendance at football
games, always showing interest
in student activities.
Valley administrators
very best instructors to Valley. Con-
cerning those instructors, Dr. Marsh
says:
"All instructors at Valley have
been carefully selected. They are Well
prepared and competent in their
teaching fields. Tests of Valley Col-
lege students who have transferred
to universities and four-year colleges
bear out the excellence of the teach-
ing at Valley."
Aiding Dean Marsh is Samuel
Alexander, assistant dean of instruc-
tion. Alexander Works With advisory
committees composed of community
leaders and businessmen to plan cur-
riculums to meet the needs of the San
Fernando Valley.

Although a log Was all Mark Hop-
kins needed in the Way of buildings
and facilities to teach his students,
Valley College students are being
provided with the very latest equip-
ment and classrooms.
Kermit Dale, dean of special serv-
ices, is heading the detailed building
program presently in progress here.
The year 1961-62 finds Valley in the
middle of Phase Ill and planning for
Phase IV.
Dale likes the job of Working with
architects, cont-ractors and teacher
committees, for he knows learning
will be aided by suitable physical
facilities.
Right at the heart of Valley College
l 8
is the office of admissions and guid-
ance under the direction of Dr. John
Reiter. In many colleges, the word
"registrar" is used to identify the per-
son in charge of admissions. At Val-
ley the very title "dean of admissions
and guidance" signifies the philoso-
phy of the college. Giving the student
guidance both academically and voca-
tionally, when he enters the college,
While he attends and as he graduates,
falls under the leadership of Dr.
Reiter. A student here is a person,
not a statistic.
Experiences and learning are not
confined to the classroom but include
social, political and cultural aspects
of a college education. Such activities
fall under the direction of dean and
assistant dean of activities. For 13
years Mrs. Nena Royer has been dean
of activities. Assisting Mrs. Royer
this year is James Cox. Student gov-
ernment, the direct responsibility of
Cox in 1961-62, has been different
from other years at Valley in that
student leaders have pioneered in
such areas as leading the fight tO
legalize fraternities and sororities on
junior college campuses. The em-
phasis placed on all such activities
shows a resurgence in school spirit.

aware that it is for the student that

Tribute to i
Dean Ness:
Active participant in faculty
affairs was the late Dean Robert
Nassi, who had a friendly smile
for every occasion.
Flags flew af half most ln honor
of Dean Nclssl
If Albert Einstein had been a personal
friend of Valley College's late dean
Robert N assi, it would be conceivable to
believe that he Wrote the following with
the beloved educator in mind: "Only a
life lived for others is a life worth liv-
ingf'
Robert Nassi was a 24-hour-a-day
administrator. He was a man Whose
entire body, heart and soul were dedi-
cated to the betterment and advance-
ment of other human beings.
Dean Nassi came second. At least to
himself he did. But for the countless
number of young people he counseled
and aided, there was no one Who could
be praised with higher esteem.
f'The death of Robert Nassi was a
deep personal tragedy to his colleagues
here," said William J. lVlcNelis, presi-
dent of the college. "It was an even
deeper loss to the youth of the San Fer-
nando Valley. No one I have known
Was more dedicated to serving youth.
Thousands of young people Who have
attended Valley College Were helped
and guided by his kindness and Wis-
dom."
Yes, Dean Robert Nassi is dead. But
the Wizardry of his expert counsel-
tations, his thoughtfulness, his kindness,
his love and his devotion to others Will
long live on.

A packed house, featuring the
Four Preps, boosts the morale for
the approaching Homecoming
game.
Homecoming
Queens and princesses galore, floats aplenty, dancing, ban-
ners, pigskins and miles of smiles. All a part of Homecoming,
1961. Everywhere faces were filled with excitement over what
would come.
It started with a week of elaborate publicity and voting for
the individual club-sponsored candidates, spread to the Home-
coming dance and crowning of an unbelieving Toni Peters,
continued with a rally featuring the Four Preps in an hour of
fine entertainment and was climaxed in a gridiron clash be-
tween the ELA Huskies and Valley Lions. Q
Before the crowning of the queen and her court, the campus
saw an exuberant amount of sign and picture displaying to
introduce the candidates to the student body. Elaborate ideas
were put into effect. Helium-filled ballons that didn't stay up
in the air and a sailboat that had no way of sailing were among
l96l
the many eye catchers. p s -
Voting booths were kept busy with eager students casting
their X's for favorite candidates, keeping the tabulators on
their toes with ballot counting.
Cn the night of the Homecoming dance, Carol Rohrbach,
commissioner of student activities, stepped tolthe mike and
announced the traditional words, "Homecoming queen for
1961 . . . Toni Peters!"
Festivities were kept in full swing as the Four Preps took
over in a rally that had a fully packed gymnasium in
continuous applause and frequent bursts of laughter. Gary
Patterson, head yell leader, took a hand, leading the bouyant
group in a yell before the Preps were introduced..
Emotions were mixed as the Monarch playing field was the
setting for the final event. Football: Valley vs. East Los

Angeles. Highlight of the game was an 85 yard kickoff return
by Tom Nunno that resulted in the most spectacular touch-
down of the season.
At the half, a "cool', and windy one, floats were the main
point of interest. One of the clubs performed the "March of

"It might sound corny, but I really
do like people. And that includes

Energy and enthusiasm
Combine with talent
Penny Williams, on outstanding
student at Valley, uses the
powers of concentration that
enable her to lecid ci versatile life
and still mointciin o 3.3 grade
avercige.
Give her a piano, a song to sing and
people to talk to. Piece together dark
brown eyes and hair to match, and
the sub total is a third semester, 19-
year-old outstanding student.
Combine with a 3.3 grade average
and a 28-hour-a-Week job, and the
grand total is Penny Jo Williams,
versatile as Well as outstanding.
"At one time or another," says
Penny, "I had set my sights for two
careers before deciding on dental
hygine. I Was considering profes-
sional singing and elementary school
teaching."
Not until Dr. Robert F. Brandon,
dentist and mayor of Burbank, told
her of the dental practice While she
Was sitting in his dental chair did she
become interested in the profession.
"While I have thought of many
career jobs that might suit me, there
is now no doubt that I will follow up
dental hygiene after I finish Valley,
even though I still love singing as a
hobby," she remarked.
Penny, who Was graduated from
high school with straight A's in her
senior year, came to Valley "to
mature." She says, "I didn't plan
originally on entering college, but I
Wanted to be enlightened and develop
my study habits."
While the road to success in dental
hygiene is not a simple one, Penny
displays the caliber and interest in
science to make the road an easier
path to travel. '

Curiosity about this location so close to

explain how geography affects man and its

After Ray Elias, a Valley pre-med maior, made
his way to the Placement Bureau with the idea
of finding a part time iob, he was hired by Vita
Minerals Corp. as a laboratory assistant.
Magnet
for job
seekers
Raymond Elias, taking the few steps that
led him through the Placement Bureau door,
confronted the smiling face of Mrs. Marion
Van Meter, placement interviewer.
Like many another student, Elias was
searching for a job opening that would be in
line with his course of study, that of a pre-
med major. Sitting down, Elias told Mrs.
Van Meter what he had in mind.
Inspecting a long list of possible choices,
luck ran true as she found exactly what he
had hoped for-employment as a laboratory
assistant.
In visiting the Placement Bureau with the
idea of securing this particular type of job,
Elias was taking one of the early steps
toward his long range career plan, specializa-
tion in neurology.
Employment in an educational position
through the Placement Bureau allows for an
outlook' of advancement even while still
taking college courses. After initial place-
ment, an active concern is taken with the
student as to how he is getting along in his
job. This attitude is taken to keep intact the
amiable relations that have become a trade-
mark of the bureau.
The Placement Bureau was set up as a
small operation by Mrs. Mary Bruick in 1950.
At the time she was the only person
involved.
Mrs. Bruick engineered the production of
what is now called the Occupational Explora-
tion Series. In 1953 she turned to full-time
counseling.
At length Dr. Dallas Livingston-Little,
placement coordinator, and Mrs. 'Marion Van
Meter were put in charge of the system,
which ha sexpanded into a full-time estab-
lishment.
I After some ll years the bureau has sprung
into an operation that places on the average
of 10 to 12 students per week in jobs. In
September almost 100 students were placed,
the largest amount to that date. Hopes are in
order for just as large numbers of students in
the future.
Meanwhile, back on the job, Ray Elias is
happy that he took those short strides that
led him to the door displaying the sign
"Placement Bureau." As happy as the many
others.
Not all students plan to be a part of the
medical profession as does Elias, of course,
but there are other jobs to be filled in other
areas. The Placement Bureau is an integral
part of the college, referring the forward-
looking student to jobs throughout the Val-
ley and showing the employer just what
Valley College stands for . . . friendliness.
Mrs. Marion Van Meter,
placement interviewer since 1953,
displays a radiant smile following
the successful placement of Ray
Elias in a part time iob.

Even in the most '1-ifnble defeat there can be glory.
Maybe it's not alwa , the grand type, with the crowd
screaming wildly on its feet for its triumphant team and
grandest gladiators, but there can be a more sophisticated
type, one of deep, personal feeling, knowing that one has
tried.
This is the feeling which has been that of Valley College's
"twin stars," Ismael Uuniorj Morales and Herb Griffin.
They have proved well that willingness plus ability are
almost always rewarded, though quite often the form may
come in varied shapes.
"It's a hard thing," relates Junior, Valley's ace end, "to
try to make a team into something it isn't. At first I felt
sorry for the rooters in the stands, but that soon stopped
when I realized that they knew what they 'were seeing and
loved every minute of it. They gave us credit for the one
thing we didn't lack-DRIVEV'
Drive is nothing new to Ismael Morales. With over five
years of high school and college experience behind him,
Junior knows well what it is to win as well as lose.
As a member of Howard Taft's successful '59 and '60
Valley All-Stars, Junior received training which he definite-
ly feels helped enable him to shine as radiantly as he did
this season.
The other glowing star from Valley College's 1961 grid-
VaIIey's
iron squad is Herb Griffin. The powerfully built linebacker
has been money in the bank all season for Valley linemen.
Against Bakersfield, especially, a team picked by most of
the experts as one of the finest junior college teams in the
history of the Metropolitan League, Griffin repeatedly was
the key man in most of the game's important plays. Many
feel Valley might not have ever had possession of the ball if
it wasn't for the playing that night of Herb Griffin.
The versatile Griffin is an outstanding performer in any
spot he's chosen to play. Coach Al Hunt discovered this
before the season was a month old and since has put the
powerfully built star in almost every position at one time or
another.
"You never lose anything by giving the best you have,"
says Griffin. t'In defeat or victory alike you'll always gain
something by giving everything."
This type of spirit shown by Valley College's "twin stars"
has often helped a team, which otherwise might have lost
its desire to keep fighting when the going was getting
rougher game after game, to meet reality and realize that
the winning team isn't always the victorious one.
Facing the football field as life itself has given added
stature to the names of Morales and Griffin. On and off the
field, these are more than merely football players. These
are true competitors. Q

Silence, slumber, studies--
Story of Valleys Library
Libraries are often considered formal and
stuffy but not the one at Valley.
"Students are always welcomef' said Miss
Mary Ellen Ball, one of Valley's librarians.
"And we always try to put them at their
ease." Even animals seem to sense the
friendly atmosphere of Val1ey's Building of
Knowledge, and many a stray cat and dog
has been returned to anxious owners through
Miss Ball's efforts.
Another friendly gesture is the expirirnent
in library practice of keeping open on Satur-
days. This requires librarians and their help-
ers in attendance, as well as a custodian to
keep heat and lights going.
Besides the usual contents of a library, an
interesting sight at the present time is the
library's display area, where the art depart-
ment, under the supervision of Flavio E.
Cabral, is showing many interesting and
unusual exhibits, such as paintings, sculp-
tures, photographs and other artistic forms
which draw a great deal of comment.
Favorable opinions have also been ex-
pressed about the excellent space-saving
device put into use at Valley-the micro-
filming machine, This machine replaces the
need for stacks of periodicals, since a six
months' supply of magazines can be copied
on a three inch spool of film. By eliminating
back issues, more space can be allowed for
more and more current periodicals and for
the study area in which to read them,
Reading for pleasure as well as for study is
another advantage the library offers. Books
are chosen partly by Valley's instructors
with their teaching needs in view and partly
by the librarians after studying summarized
reviews with the students' possible needs in
mind. Besides these purchases, which are
taken care of by a budget, Valley's library
receives a great many donations from single
copies to complete collections.
"Once we even got some amusing book
covers and put them around other books,
making it a special display. Some of the
covers read, Forgery Self Taught, 100 Things
To Do with Human Skin, How To Form a
Posse, Lynching in One Easy Lesson and
similar satirical titles which certainly at-
tracted plenty of attention," Miss Ball re-
called. '
Then to further acquaint students with
Valley's Library, orientation courses on the
library were incorporated into the school
curriculum. These courses, through slides
and lectures, explain the facilities and uses of
the libarary and the help the librarians are
always ready to offer. lt is considered one of
the most informative courses of its kind con-
ducted in the school system and has proven
very effective in its manner of presentation.
Expected in the Phase IV construction at
The heart of a college
is its library
Valley is a 60-foot addition to the reading
and stack room to accommodate the increas-
ing enrollment. Also to be initiated into this
unit will be four carrels and eight type-
writers for student use. The carrels, which
are individual studying niches' among the
book stacks, have proven very efficient else-
where.
Overseeing the building of this expected
new addition will take almost as much
thought and effort as Mrs, June Biermann,
head librarian, spent on the supervision of
the present library.
The "old prof, as she calls herself, will be
able to supervise the erection of the new
addition as she did that of the present build-
11'1g.
Schools that look in this direction for
leadership can be sure that new and better
practices will continue to be Valley's goal.

Plenty of room for reading and
studying and plenty of students
wise enough to take advantage
of it.
A pleasant smile lights up
the face of librarian Miss
Mary Ellen Ball as some
unseen caller voices a
merry quip.

If Theater Arts major and the Crown
cover-girl Jacqueline Smith continues in the
field of acting, it is highly doubtful that she
will ever come in contact with a true story
as moving and inspiring as her own. For
here is a girl, now a young American woman,
whose personal background, if put on paper,
would make any aspiring playwright proud.
On the first day of April, 1943, Jacqueline
Smith was born. But unlike other children,
Jacqueline wasnit born in the comfort of a
hospital, with the protecting eyes of the
doctor looking on.
Instead, a German prison camp in Frank-
furt, Germany, was the site which in-
troduced Jacqueline to her first few months
of life. Shortly thereafter she was transfer-
red to a displaced person's camp outside of
Munich.
Her mother, a Belgian nurse, died during
childbirth, and her father, an English soldier,
was shot as he tried to escape to freedom.
Young, nameless Jacqueline remained in
the Munich camp for more than two years
as World War II came to a halt with the
destruction of I-Iitlerls armies and the fall of
the Japanese empire.
One of hundreds of young orphans, Jac-
queline may have been destined to a life of
hunger and loneliness if it had not been for
RKO war correspondent Harry W. Smith,
whose beat was the crumbled Germany.
Working with children inside many of
these camps, Harry Smith came into contact
with thousands of these homeless youngsters
every week. But for some reason-many will
call it fate while others will credit it to a
variety of other sources-Harry Smith found
Jacqueline and knew that this had to be his
little girl.
"Although she spoke no English," Mr.
Smith recalls, "she had such a warm and
amiable way about her that language wasn't
at barrier. After my return to the States, my
wife and I discussed the possibilities for
adoption.
"When I returned to Germany, proceedings
were arranged and I was able to bring J ac-
queline back with me to New York."
The Smiths remained in New York as the
adoption was arranged. In 1948 the Smiths
legally became Jacqueline's parents.
In 1955, the Smith family traveled to New
Jersey, four years after their daughter Jac-
queline became an American citizen.
Later Bermuda became their home, and
The many facets of
Jacqueline Smith
Jacqueline attended British schools.
"Bermuda was a beautiful land, but none
could ever be more beautiful than my be-
loved America," Valley's coed says. "I'll
always love my family and country, for they
have both loved me."
Today, Jacqueline Smith lives in Van
Nuys. Her first Los Angeles home was Man-
hattan Beach, then Torrance.
"People are no different here than any-
where else in the United States. They are all
so warm and friendly that it makes me proud
to know that we are all of the same 'fam-
ily,"' Jacqueline says of her neighbors and
friends.
Jacqueline Smith's beauty and warmth
have not gone unnoticed. Not only has she
starred in several school productions, but she
has also done many television commercials.
Talent could well have been her original
surname, as Jacqueline proves on the piano
keyboard. She has studied piano for eight
years and is also a student of dance,
"I hope to continue my education and
broaden my interests into many fields. It is
in this way, I feel, that people become better
citizens," says Jacqueline.
"Education is the key to success and happi-
ness. A person must have this, and, of course,
faith to be truly happy in lifef'

A published author,
a Creative composer
"Teacher, teacher, tell me true, when
you're not teaching, what do you do?" What
do Valley teachers do when they're not
teaching?
Do they take pictures? Peek into micro-
scopes? Raise flowers? Hunt fossils? Do
they paint or perform? Or do they read? Or
write?
Variety in the writing
field is the specialty
of Irwin Porges,
English instructor, the
Mitch Miller of prose.
No one answer is the whole answer at
Valley College because here teachers might
do any one or all of these things.
Take writing, for example. Many teachers
write. Songs, stories, articles, plays, papers,
poetry, prose-even books, And those who
write books are often better teachers because
of it.
HIGHLIGHTS ON SIDELINES continued
Lawrence Spirigarn-
a Solitary Walk and at piece of prose
One such teacher is Irwin Porges. Versatile
and creative. Porges is a musician, a com-
poser and a published author as well. He is a
man who knows the problems of the aspiring
writer and as a teacher in Valley's English
department, draws on his own experience to
answer student questions fully and frankly.
He is a man who takes time, time to be
friendly, time to listen, time to help.
Irwin Porges is also a man who makes
time. Turning out articles and books after
his "day's work's done," Porges uses eve-
nings, weekends and holidays to meet dead-
lines established by a New York agent.
His second book, "S.O.S.-Great Sea Dis-
asterst' will make its spring appearance in a
paper back edition, published by Monarch of
New York.
True sea stories, dramatized and recreated,
"S.O.S.-Great Sea Disasters" followed a
1961 publication by Chelton of New York,
t'Many Brave Hearts." A hard cover edition,
"Many Brave Hearts" is a standard work
found in the library.
Another teacher with books in the college
library is Lawrence Spingarn. Easy going,
likeable, Spingarn teaches in the English de-
partment and is a published poet besides.
When not at the college, he may be found
enjoying a solitary walk in the country or
canyon. Or, perhaps more to his enjoyment,
he may be found in his den, writing.
Spingarn first began writing poetry when
a boy of 12, and in 1947 "Roccoco Summer"
was published by Dutton in New York. In
1951 William Heinemann, Ltd., of London,
published "The Lost River: Poems."
"Letters from Exile: Poems" was brought
out in 1961 by Longman, Green and Co. Ltd..
London and New York. .
"I haven't written much poetry for a
couple of years now," he says. This doesn't
mean he hasn't been writing, for he has. Hav-
ing completed a collection of short stories,
there's more prose to come.

Lawrence Spingurn
reminisces with Valley
students on his invitation
to England to read excerptS
from his latest book
Attractive
biochemist
and author
Lois Bergquist
Miss Lois Bergquisf,
biology and
physiology instructor,
finds academic
stimulation in
combining research
and teaching.
Miss Lois Bergquist is a Writer too. Her
Writing is the result of off-campus activities,
activities that make her a better teacher.
Easily mistaken for a Valley college stu-
dent, Miss Bergquist has been Working for
the past three years in the field of bio-chem-
istry.
"I like to combine teaching and research,"
said Miss Bergquist. "I find myself in that
unique position at last," she said.
Miss Bergquist was referring to her re-
search appointment at the California College
of Medicine. With the title of visiting assist-
ant professor, Miss Bergquist does much of
her research in the lab at the Los Angeles
County General Hospital.
Lipo' proteins and cholesterol have held
special interest for her. In addition to her
teaching at Valley, she has Written several
papers in the bio-chemistry field, most of
which have revolved around lipids and
methodology in the laboratory for analysis
oflipids.
At California Hospital Miss Bergquist
works with Dr. Ronald Searcy and in the
course of their research they co-authored
"Bio-chemistry of Lipo Proteins in Health
and Diseasef' which was published by
Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Ill.
Of her participation in this Work, Miss
Bergquist said, "It's extremely stimulating
academically to participate in research."
The interest and enthusiasm Miss Berg-
quist feels for her work is reflected in the
interest and enthusiasm students feel for the
classes in biology and physiology taught by
Miss Bergquist.
HIGHLIGHTS ON SIDELINES continued
Dr. Max Heyman-
"Beats the out of 11189
An interest in research and study on the
part of Valley teachers has resulted in books
on a variety of subjects.
"Prudent Soldier, A Biography of Major
General E.R.S. Canby," was Written by Dr.
Max L. Heyman Jr. Always interested in
military history, in the Civil War, and in the
problems of reconstruction, Dr. Heyman dis-
covered, in the course of the study that led to
his doctorate, that no work of importance
had been done on Canby.
The gathering of material on Maj. Gen.
Canby, first general officer of the U. S. Army
to be killed by the Indians, covered a six
year period.
"Why is that?
weekly quiz.
Dr. Heyman Will be the first to tell that it
was hard work, but he will quickly add, dark
eyes twinkling behind his glasses, that "it's
enjoyable to create a person from the bones
out, to build the body, to put flesh on it. It's
really a fascinating experience," he says.
"I concur with Carlisle to a degree that
history is the biography of the World's great
men. But, of course, men are shaped by cer-
tain circumstancesf'
About Canby, he says, "I don't say he was
one of the greats, but he made a contribution.
And We all have to make our contribution in
one Way or another to society, to our coun-
try's development?
Dr. Heymcm exclclms
when no one receives
100 per cent on his
Joseph Nordmann
has text, will teach
Teaching is in itself a contribution to so-
ciety, but teachers who write do so because
they have something additional to give.
Joseph B. Nordmann of Valley's chemistry
department has given many written pages.
Among his material is the textbook in use in
the college.
Credited to Nordmann is "Qualitative
Testing and Inorganic Chemistry" published
by Wiley of New York, a textbook used in
about 75 colleges and universities. Among
the schools so recognizing Nordmann's work
are Columbia, Colgate, the University of
Massachusetts, the University of Alaska and
the University of Hawaii. Monterey Tech in
Monterey, Mexico, uses a translation of Nord-
mann's book too.
A lab manual, "Experiments in General
Chemistry? was written by Nordmann with
co-author E. S. Kuljian.
While operating "Pacific Chemical Con-
sultants," a chemistry lab in Los Angeles,
Nordmann and his associates had the dis-
tinction of receiving the only contract for
water analysis awarded to a commercial
laboratory by the State of California Water
Resources.
Out of this lab grew some of the work put
into Nordmann's books. Said Nordmann,
"Some of the practical applications can be
brought into the classroom. And students
like that. This work gives the subject some
intrinsic interest. It's down-to-earth.
"Writing a text," says Nordmann, "is one
of the best subject reviews you could con-
ceive of."
Nordmann, an artist as well as an author.
has done all of the illustrations that accom-
pany his text.
Like many Valley instructors, quite, seri-
ous, scholarly Nordmann crowds many crea-
tive interests into his day. Nordmann, like
Dr. Heyman, Miss Bergquist, Spingarn and
Porges, proves that on Valley's campus
there's more to the teacher than meets the
eye, for here a teacher's life is a many-sided
thing. And some sides of some teachers are
only glimpsed between the covers of the
books they write.
Among the material
published by Joseph
Nordmann of VaIIey's
chemistry department is
text "Qualitative Testing
and Inorganic Chemistry"
used in universities as far
as Alaska and Hawaii.
Resurgence of
Valley's spirit
Valley's
school spirit
gains new momentum
under yell king
G
ary Patterson
Is school spirit thousands of voices
screaming and cheering the team on to
victory, yelling just as hard in defeat?
Is school spirit a constant campus atti-
tude or feeling of general agreement or
friendliness?
Or maybe school spirit is a student's
individual thing, a personal sense of duty
or obligation to make his school better
than the next.
Scholars and students alike have ana-
lyzed these dozen letters and as yet,
have not found one substantial answer.
But one thing they all can agree upon
is this:
Of the three above definitions, only
the first can be said to be an over-all
campus project.
True, any of the above could, would
and will unify a school, but of them all,
only the first can let all voices ring
together in perfect unison to achieve
this goal.
Under the direction of Mrs. Ruby
Zuver, the Monarchettes, Valley Col-
lege's all girls' drill team, has helped
make the school spirit something a little
special.
"Although We are separate groups, We
are still fighting for the same cause. We
have tried, and I think to quite a degree
of success, to Work together and yet
alone, to help unify our school and make
our spirit tops."
These Words of yell king Gary Patter-
son reflect the feeling of the three
"spirit" groups of Valley College. The
Monarchettes, the song and yell leaders
have done an amazing job of promoting
interest in campus sports.
"l've got to admit that it Was a little
difficult to keep going during the foot-
ball season when Valley lost all eight
of its games. But considering our record,
the turnout was quite satisfying and the
general attitude was not that of winning
-but of tryingj' Patterson added.
Head song leader Pam Hoffman puts
it this Way:
"Valley College is a school Where com-
ing out on top, although of course im-
portant, isn't the number one thing. The
spirit here is to try and try Well. A spirit
of hard, but clean, competition is the
ruler of the roost, and l'm proud to be
a part of this Way of conductf'
Active, enthusiastic
Gary Patterson,
Valley's yell king, is

spirit at Valley.

Teachers achieve Status
The school year 1961-62 proved
memorable to teachers as well as stu-
dents, for at the beginning of the
spring semester, Valley went into the
academic ranking program.
4'Instructor" was the official title
for teachers in Los Angeles' seven
junior colleges preceding February,
1962. At four-year colleges and uni-
versities, instructor is a rank within
itself-the lowest possible.
Therefore, the following reasons
were given by the Los Angeles
Division of Extension and Higher
Education for adopting the ranking
system in the LA colleges:
"Establishment of academic rank
would provide increased stature,
greater community prestige and im-
provement in personal welfare of the
teaching staffs."
Dr. Ernest W. Thacker, associate
professor of history at Valley, was
appointed by Dr. James E. Slosson,
faculty president, to initiate steps for
acceptance or rejection of the plan at
Valley.
Faculty president, Dr. James E. '
Slosson: "Ranking enchances
academic prestige of iunior
college teachers."
Dr. Thacker has been a member
of the Committee of Academic Rank
in the Affiliated College Faculty As-
sociation for several years. The com-
mittee studies details of ranking in
other colleges and universities and
helped set up the plan, which was
approved by the Los Angeles Board
of Education.
Under the plan, all evening teach-
ers are referred to as "lecturer"
For the daytime program, the title
"instructor" is given to a teacher
when first hired. After three years
of teaching and gaining tenure, he is
able to apply for the position of as-
sistant professor.
Seven years' college teaching ex-
perience, plus having earned '70 col-
lege units, or after having earned a
master's or doctor's degree, makes
him eligible for the rank of associate
professor.
Criteria for the rank of professor,
although not yet decided, will be de-
termined by a committee consisting
of Dr. Slosson, Dr. Thacker, and Pro-
fessors George Hale, George Herrick,
W. E. Jenks and Andrew Mason. The
first time teachers will be granted
the title of full professor will be Sep-
tember, 1963.
The history of academic ranking
started in 1497 when Oxford Univer-
sity first used the title Hprofessorf'
In the next 400 years the titles "mas-
ter," "doctor" or Hprofessorl' were
used synonymously when referring
to a college or university teacher.
Dr. Ernest W. Thacker
spearheaded the movement
which resulted in the new titles
for iunior college teachers.

Ranking hits Valley
The additional title of "assistant
professor" was used at Yale Univer-
sity in 1870. Sometime between 1900
and 1910, the present Widely accepted
university hierarchy of titles was
launched.
Finally, after only 465 years, the
tradition reached Valley in the spring
semester of 1961-62. Sixty-nine
teachers were made associate profes-
sors, and 36 others were given the
title "assistant professor."
Therefore, Va11ey's teachers now
not only have the standards and abil-
ities of university teachers but also
are honored with the same titles.

With many different sports claiming "world's

tics has taken over as the World's most beautiful
sports almost without argument. On the Valley
College campus, gymnastics can also claim the
most improved trophy for 1962.
Ray Follosco's gymnasts became the team to
beat in the Metro Conference, this coming just
one year after they recorded a disappointing 2-7
overall mark, and finished 14th in the state.
In an early season prediction, Follosco rated
Harbor as the team with the best chance of up-
setting Monarch title hopes, but seasonal results
showed only Pasadena City College, probably one
of the best teams in the country, could top the
Lions in dual competition.
The squad's strength, in comparison with last
year's team, was shown early when Valley com-
pletely out-classed Santa Monica, a team which
finished second in the conference the previous
season.

The bridge between the stu-

Council was gapped last se-

bers made "spirit" their goal.
Headed by ASB President
Stan Broder, Executive Coun-
cil members set out to achieve
this goal through radio, the
Valley newspaper and public-
ity.
With 552,977.95 to work
with, they were able to ex-
pand on more festive decora-
tions, better dance bands for
the students, larger bulletin
boards on strategic parts of
the campus informing stu-
dents of weekly activities and
frequent paper coverage by
the campus newspaper.

In one ot his happier moments,
Ralph Coldwell talks over
strategy with the Monarchs
during the second half ot ci
home court victory over
East L.A.
Four points.
Had Valley scored just four
more points during the sea-

field, would have been Metro
Conference basketball cham-
pions for 1961-62. In a season
when the Monarchs had the
conference's most potent of-
fense f1,147 pointsj, two bas-
kets Was all that stood be-
tween them and their attempt
for the comeback of the year.
In the year's most import-
ant contest, Bakersfield
traveled to the lVIonarch's
home court and defeated the
Valley squad 63-60, clinching
their third consecutive cham-
pionship.
What goes into a top-flight
basketball team? First of all,
pure, unadorned talent. Lion
coach Ralph Caldwell had re-

Pressman, Doug Michaelson
and Bill Westoby, along with
captain Ollie Carter and
transfer letterman Al Shapiro
from East Los Angeles.
Freshman prospects includ-
ed three outstanding perform-
ers from the Southernlseague,
perennially the toughest of

three, Larry Williams, Stan-

was named Metro Conference
co-player of the year for his
fine scoring and leadership.
Carter finished his Valley
career with a brilliant 30
point outburst against Har-
bor. Stanley Swinger was an
all-around performer, re-
bounding and shooting well
throughout the season. He
overcame a back injury to
make the All Star squad
along with Carter and Larry
Williams. Williams, the team's
top outside shot, averaged 18
points a game while rebound-
ing strongly. Lester Smith
was the team's defensive ace
but became a scoring threat
late in the season. Smith
scored 14 points against
Bakersfield, playing his best
all-around game of the year.
Soph center Al Shapiro per-
formed Well on defense and
was a strong rebounder.
Cinderella stories don't hap-
pen too often in basketball,
but with four more points,
Villey could have done it in
1962.
Four points.

Standing ready, willing and
always able, the Valley College

One organization on the
campus of Los Angeles Val-
ley College is as much a part
of the community as it is of
the school. The Valley Choir,
while serving as a community
service group, however, hasn't
forgotten its obligation to the
school.
The choir, in constant de-
mand for local performances,
is a polished singing unit
which not only has divided its
engagements on an equal
basis, but has Within itself es-
tablished an extraordinary
amount of equality.
"There could be no star
backfieldersf' says choir spon-
sor Richard Knox, "if it
vveren't for the linemen.
There is this same kind of
feeling here in the choir.
Soloists like Carolyn
Watson and William Lively
help to enrich the cultural
interests of the Valley
areas, while also helping
the name of Valley College
to be regarded with
respect.

Displaying the form which helped lead Valley
College's l962 swimming team to some of its
greatest honors, Bob Whitworth makes the
difficult dives look the easiest. It took years of -
hard work and patience, both for the college and
Whitworth alike. But the rewards were well
worth il.
Mighty '62
mermen rate at
top in VaIIey's
13-year history
From bottom to top
in four years
The four year climb from the bottom of the Metro
Conference standings to a position of co-favorite was cul-
minated in 1962 as Valley fielded the best swim team in the
school's 13-year history.
Long Beach and Santa Monica, schools which have had
a monopoly on most of the awards and championships
available to Southland junior colleges, might still finish 1-2
in the standings, but Lion coach Mike Wiley says his team
has "made up a lot of ground."
When Wiley took over as swim coach back in 1958, he
assumed command of a team that hadn't won in two sea-
sons. He managed to move the team up to fourth place in
that first season, but fell back to the bottom in the next
year. From then on, it was all uphill.
Last season, Valley fielded a strong team which lost
only to the oceanside powerhouses, Long Beach and Santa
Monica, in the conference season. Their exhibition record
of 5-1 gave them a fine 8-3 season mark, good enough for a
third place finish in both conference and state.
Wiley has nine returning lettermen from last year's
squad, and has added several promising freshman pros-
pects. Jim Bain and Jim McGrath, top team scorers in '61,
E
lead the returnees. Others are Rod Ruffell, school breast-
stroke record holderg Bill Taylor, third high point man,
John Benson, breaststrokeg John Bennaton, butterfly, Pete
Grey, freestyleg Jack Dunn, freestyleg' and Jack Doman,
freestyle. -
Top freshman prospects are Ric Dyas, city champ in the
100 meter freestyle and Larry Raffaelli, ex-Van Nuys back-
stroker. '
Bob Whitworth, the team's only diver, had a very suc-
cessful season, posting a long win streak over some good
competition. Daryl Pettus developed into a fine butterfly
man. Another freshman, Dave Dixon, performed capably in
the longer freestyles. '
Seven records were set in the '61 season and prospects
were good for an even greater assault on the record. books
in '62. Bain and McGrath hardly waited to get in shape be-
fore setting new marks this season. Bain swam the 200
individual medley in 2215.0 in the season's second meet, and
two days later McGrath broke Bain's 220 freestyle mark
with 2211.1 timing. Other marks expected to go are the
100 freestyle 15201, 200 bacfkstroke 12:l3.05, 200 breaststroke
12:29.25 and 440 freestyle 14:44.41

What makes a student at Valley Col-
lege typical? ln the case of Shirley
Green, Valleyis 1962 typical girl student,
it's her energy and enthusiasm, plus
plenty of organization.
It is typical that Valley's students are
active in many Ways. It is typical to
study, to Work, to have hobbies, to be
busy with many things.
Every moment of Shirley Green's day
is accounted for. How does she do it?
"I budget my time," she says simply.
"Planning is the secret to success."
Shirley carries a full study load as Well
as Working part time. For a time she was
a receptionist in an animal hospital. Now
she Works in the school library. But
there's more to Shirley's activities than
that. There's her dancing and her singing.
A member of the Homer Garrett
Square Dance Troop for five years, she
has toured the States and even so far out
of the States as Brussels.
Recently she has begun working with
the High Five, a singing quintet. And for
fun she plays her guitar, or, if she has
nothing else to do, she works out in the
gym-
Some of her time is given to service.
She works with the college Coronets, is
a lieutenant in the Monarchettes and has
acted and danced in veteran benefit
shows.
With all her activities, Shirley finds
time for fun, friends and a fiance. And
after her graduation she plans to add
marriage to her busy schedule.
If the pattern laid down in college is
an indication, Shirley is on her Way to
doing many things and doing them well.
Coffee break, study
period and social hour
are combined into one
when Shirley uses the
cafeteria.

I N TELLECTUAL LURE continued
Important people in the news, some
controversial, others prominent on
the political scene, were the order of
the day in an extensive forum series
at Valley College this season,
In a series of talks sponsored by
various organizations on campus,
among them the Independent Party,
Athenaeum Committee and Quad-
wranglers, Valley students were able
to listen and participate in many
varied subjects of world-Wide inter-
est and importance.
Probably the most discussed guest
was Dr. Martin Luther King, who
spoke on the "Future of Integration."
The Southern religious influencer
has been given the titles of Civil
Rights Crusader and Integration
Leader, among others.
On conclusion of his delivery, the
audience left the men's gymnasium
with full knowledge of three major
points planted in their minds by Dr.
King. They knew what extreme op-
timism, extreme pessimism and real-
ism were and the part they played
in the fight for race relations as he
advocated them to be.
Sponsored by the Independent
Party, Attorney General Stanley
lVIosk took the floor and defended the
new establishment of the Pledge of
Allegiance as a daily ritual in all 8
a.m. classes. Mosk spoke out on Val-
ley's proposal to make fraternities
and sororities legal on campus organ-
izations for the two-year college by
saying that they are an administra-
tive problem. He took a dim view of
the hazing involved and felt likewise
of the school that doesn't punish such
antics when they occur.
"Why Free Discussion Is Necessary
in a College" was the subject of a
talk given by the president of the Los
Angeles Board of Education, Dr.
Ralph Richardson, the first Quad-
wrangler presentation of the semes-
ter.
Speaking in Valley College's famed
"Pershing Square," Dr. Richardson
emphasized free speech as the basis
for democracy, pointing out both the
dangers and advantages of free disi
cussion. He supported the right of
Valley students to discuss any subject
in the quad area, but to "be aware of
possible abuses of the privilege."
Guest speaker Phil Kerby,
editor of Frontier magazine
spoke before Valley
students in the quad as
part ofthe Athenaeum
series.
A present member ofthe House
Committee on Science and
Astronautics, James C. Corman
spoke during the activity hour
lecture series. Corman, a
Democrat, moved into Congress
with the 1960 Kennedy victory.
Dr. Ralph Richardson, part-time
politician, pilot, UCLA English
and speech professor tor 'I4
years, iunior college graduate,
but most importantly, Board of
Education president, spoke on
the necessity of free discussion
in college life. Here he chats
with Dean Nena Royer

A change of pace took effect when

UCLA. addressed a crowded Athe-
naeum audience Nov. 21 in the Men's
Gym on the subject "Dating the Past."
Past."
A learned man, distinctive in ap-
pearance, Dr. Libby spoke on the
subject for which he received his
honored prize, his discovery of Car-
bon-14 dating, a process used to date
pre-historic fossils.
Congressman Edgar W.
Hiestand "came home" to
speak to Valley students
this year.
Hiestand
represents the 2lst
Congressional district in
the House.
His lecture was bent for the broad-
minded science student. His hypo-
thesis Was that your hair is 10 per
cent more radio-active than your
grandmothers and that scientists
5,000 years from now will be bother-
ed in seeking to determine how old
you are.
Libbyls home was destroyed when
the Bel Air fire erupted early in
November. But one item had to be
saved. It Was, no less - the Nobel
Prize!
UCLA's Dr. Willard Libby was one
of the year's most widely
discussed Athenaeum speakers,
Describing his Nobel prize-
winning Carbon l4 dating
process, Libby showed how
scientists can now accurately
date fossils, where previous
efforts had relied on a great
deal of luck.

Distinguished guests continued to
invade Valley's "asphalt jungle" With
the arrival of Congressman James C.
Corman of the 22nd district and the
ensuing Councilman Lemoine Blan-
chard, chairman of the Public Works
Committee in the Los Angeles City
Council.
The 1960 contest for the seat in
Congress was taken over by Corman
Who edged Blanchard in a close race.
At present, Corman is a member of
the House Committee on Science and
Astronautics. Blanchard Was the only
non-incumbent elected to the Los
Angeles City Council in 1959. He was
a founding member and president of
the Junior Chamber of Commerce at
the age of 24.
"Why should we talk from Weak-
ness instead of strength?" That Was
the question posed by Congressman
Edgar W. Heistand, Republican from
the 21st district, an advocate of a
strong national defense.
Hiestand ranged his material
toward all types of currently invoked
disputes. Communism, students and
ideas, politics and newspapers were
woven into his allotted time.
A talkative year, this one at Valley
College. Too, these were but a few
VIP's to arouse campus interest. They
exemplify what the old adage at-
tempts to say: "We're never left
holding the bag-" when it comes to
further enriching college minds in an
already enriched Valley College.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Crusader
for civil rights and leader of
many Southern boycotts and
"sit-ins," spoke on the future of
integration. King, revealed by a
Gallup poll as one of the world's
most admired religious leaders,

65,000 technicians needed
first step to meet need
John Fawcett, instructor in the new night
division technical writing course at Valley
College, is by day manager ofthe
Technical Information Services division
of Marquardt Inc. As part of his duties,
Fawcett checks technical manual titles
with Marquardt employe.
The need was a great one-but the answer
Valley College had was just as great. Amer-
ican Astro-Systems Wanted them, so did
Librascope, Magnavox, Miles Samuelson,
Rocketdyne, AiResearch and a host of others.
Such was the none too surprising revela-
tion of a 14-month study surveying the need
for technicians in the Valley area, a need
that will be inet to a great extent by the cur-
riculum offered in both Valley and Pierce
junior colleges.
Spearheading the research program was
Donald D. Dauwalder, industrial consultant,
who was hired by the Los Angeles Board of
Education and several industrial concerns.
TECHNICIANS NEEDED fcontinuedj
Valley college eye focused
on important community needs
The findings of Dauwalder and his staff,
consisting of an advisory committee of lead-
ing educators and industrial representatives,
as well as local chambers of commerce, was
studied with great interest and enthusiasm
in the Valleyfs two junior colleges.
The survey, concluded in June 1961,
showed that over a 10-year period, extending
to 1970, that the San Fernando Valleyls
needs for technicians will be somewhere
around the neighborhood of 65,000.
Those fields investigated include drafts-
men, mathematicians, mechanical engineers,
physical science technicians and qualified
workers in electronics and staff and tech-
nical classifications.
Valley's main interest fell in the field of
technical writing, which came under the
heading of staff and technical classifications.
Sparked by the findings of the Dauwalder
research, representatives of education and
industry met to discuss the possible creation
of new courses designed to meet the coming
demand for able men and women in the
technical fields.
Pierce and Valley colleges split the re-
sponsibility down the middle but kept it as
a cooperative matter.
reate t discover
iI1Ce
tttllftlf
Hllm unnfns
Since the meetings, Pierce College has
established an electro-mechanical technology
program and, as part of its journalism pro-
gram, Valley has set up a technical writing
course.
When the program was first announced
as being open for Valley College evening
division students, it was met immediately
with such great popularity that two weeks
before registration ended the class was filled
with an enrollment of 45 students.
Valley is now offering another required
subject, Journalism l, to the evening pro-
gram to help those interested in entering the
technical field, another popular decision.
Said Dauwalder: " . . . Many excellent
industrial and vocational courses and curri-
culums have been developed by the schools,
but all levels of education must continue to
explore new curriculums and relate them to
community needs."
This, then, not only applies to the tech-
nical writing field and the interest Valley
College has displayed, but even more so to
the constant awareness that Los Angeles
Valley College has displayed in its neighbor-
ing communities.

One of the things he'd like to

"I like chess," he says. "It's re-

when I have the time. But right
now I mostly settle for a tune-up."
What Marvin didn't say was that
he rebuilt the engine of his '53

Combining business with pleas-

Steve Frank spends Inany hours at study
Valley College, like most colleges, has its quota of
unusual students, be they foreign exchanges,
straight A students or perhaps geniuses, but the
backbone of the college is its average, typical
student.
Picking out a name at random from Valley's roster
brings forth an energetic l9 year old business ad-
ministration major, Steven Frank.
Formerly a cheerleader at Van Nuys High, Frank
is an eager booster of Valley sports and follows the
school athletic programs but says, regretfully, "I
haven't the time I'd like for active sport participa-
tion."
This is something of an understatement. For in
addition to his school schedule, he is employed at a
16-hour-a-week job in a gasoline filling station.
Studying occupies quite a few of his remaining
free hours, but he still finds time for that "special
girl friend" and for bowling and tennis.
To Frank, who was defeated by less than 25 votes
for the position of freshman president "on a strictly
non-partisan platform," politics with a capital P is
his goal. His current ambitions include a bachelor's
degree from UCLA, the necessary post-graduate
course in law school, and then the plunge into the
vortex of political life.
With the enthusiasm and thoroughness he displays
in present activities, Steven Frank stands a good
chance of making himself into a solid, substantial
citizen.

Partners: clubs and help
Club day

Clubs are for fun and for friend-
ship. Students at Los Angeles Val-
ley College will attest to that. But
there's more to Valley's clubs than
fun and frolic. There's the helpful
spirit seen in service to student,
school and community.
One example of good times
coupled with helpfulness is pro-
vided by the German Club. Found-
ed in 1953, the "merry circle,"
otherwise known as Die Froliche
Runde, or the German Club, began
with the policy that all students
enrolled in German classes or who
were interested in German culture
were eligible for membership.
"Our primary purpose is to give
students an insight into German
culture, to create a correlation be-
tween clubs and to further school
spiritji said Dr. Vera Soper, co-
sponsor with Steven Curtis.
Inter-club activities, basketball
games, music programs and poster
parties are part of the German
Club's activities. There are Stamm-
tischs Cluncheonsj at the Old
Heidelberg Inn, there are German
folk dances, films, skiing trips and
light operas. There is the partici-
pation in the Homecoming pre-
parations, and at football games

ranging from 3.2 to 3.8. The tutor-

and covers 30 subjects and 82 dif-
ferent courses. Help may be re-
quested by any student in such
fields as foreign languages, Eng-
lish, mathematics, science, elec-
tronics, social science, home eco-
nomics, police science, secretarial
science and theater arts.
The tutoring fee of 500 an hour,
which the student pays to the busi-
ness office, goes into a fund that
provides scholarships for Valley
students.
Helping in still another Way are
the Coronets, official college host-
esses. Taking tickets and ushering
at such events as assemblies and
the Athenaeum programs, the
Coronets also serve at luncheons
and banquets.
An honorary service organiza-
tion made up of Valley Women stu-
dents, Coronets exhibit a spirit of
assistance that goes beyond the
boundaries of the campus, for they
provide community service, too.
Each semester Coronets gets a

plans are made to provide off-

CLUBS fcontinuedj
Die Froliche Runde-
"the merry circle"
The Behavioral Science Club
also helps students with a scholar-
ship offered to majors with a 3.5
overall grade average. This schol-
arship is awarded students intend-
ing to pursue upper division work
in one of the behavioral sciences.
To help aspiring writers, the
Writers Club opens its member-
ship to all students interested in
writing for publication, whether
fiction or non-fiction.
Material may be submitted to
the club for evaluation and group
criticism. For members there is
also the opportunity to hear from
successful writers, editors and
critics who lecture at the monthly
meetings.
The Writers Club provides help
in the form of inspiration and en-
couragement for aspiring writers.
Said Mrs. Dorothy Portugal, club
member, "Coming into contact
with people who do write makes
the meetings stimulating and en-
joyablef'
Further help is given in the form
of scholarships. Three S75 awards
are made at the end of each school
year to the authors of the three
best short stories submitted.
The recipients of the awards are
free to use the money for addi-
tional study wherever they choose.
Another group, the Valley As-
sociated Business Students, known
as VABS, serves the student of
business with an insight into busi-
ness trends, opportunities and
needs. The business world that the
student will face upon graduation
is outlined and profiled for the stu-
dent through lectures.
The German Club gives students
an insight into German culture
One of the most notable services
of this group is that of providing
speakers for the Occupation EX-
ploration series, a service to the
entire student body.
"We deal in the area of leader-
ship as far as business is con-
cerned," said Mark Mathews, as-
sistant professor and one of the
VABS advisers. Opportunities for
leadership are afforded VABS club
members, and field trips are part
of the program set up to acquaint
VABS with the careers toward
which they are working.
There are many clubs on Val-
ley's campus from which a student
may choose. Each club is active in
a specific area of interest. And in
each group the student is given the
opportunity to help and to be
helped.
Looking for second title
After coach Mark Mat-
thews' Monarch tennis team
posted a 17-1-1 record to fin-
ish third in the state in 1961,
possibilities for an encore
seemed too much to be hoped
for. Santa Monica, perenni-
ally solid contenders for
Metro Conference honors,
couldn't let the Valley squad
top them two years in a row.
Early season results showed
that Matthew's men have the
potential to repeat as cham-
pions of the conference, even
though they lost spectacular
Chuck Rombeau, state singles
champion. Four returning
lettermen, three fine fresh-
men and the return of Al-
phonse Suastegui from the
ranks of the ineligible gave
Valley fans high hopes for the
'62 net season.

Back after a year on ineligibility,
Alphonse Suastegui was the Monarch's
top man. One ofthe top doubles players
on the squad, Suastegui had teamed with
Miguel Osuna to win the Mexican
National Junior Doubles Championship.
Top freshman prospect Jeff
Wayne, shown here backhanding
a deep volley, was third man in
single competition, and teamed
with Nicki Breit in the second
doubles slot.

Suastegui, one half of Mex-

Champions, took over as num-
ber one man. Larry Malin,
Jeff Wayne, Nicki Breit, Gary
Barham, Steve Kaplan and
Fred Brown held down the
other positions.
Valley got off to a fast start
in their seasonts play, defeat-
ing Pierce, Glendale twice
and upsetting the powerful
USC Frosh. The only Mon-
arch loss was to the nation's
number one team, UCLA's
Frosh.
The Valley-Santa Monica
meeting was slated to be a
grudge affair, since the Cor-
sairs had administered Val-
ley's only 1961 loss, while the
Monarchs had snapped a 67
straight SMCC winning
streak in an earlier encounter.
The 1962 Corsairs figured
to be just as strong as last
year, but repeating champion-
ships is never an easy task,
even for favorites.

New theater for drama
Building facilities best in West
The growing TA department uses three stages for an
increasing number of performances. "Dark ofthe
Moon" was used to christen the main stage.
"Antigone" was an outstanding production in the
Arena Theater. Another dramatic highlight was
"Witness for the Prosecution" in the Arena Theater.
Typical of the production on the experimental theate
I'
was "The Hand" directed by student Judy Dickman and
a scene from "Tea and Sympathy" produced by Joe
Reale.
