Thank you. c'By the way, my name is Mr. Monarch. L'Oh, does that puzzle you? I do exist, and in essence I am you and Los Angeles Valley College. Today approxi- mately 13,000 students, you being one of them. give me life. In a broader sense I'm the student who has graduated and has gone to a four-year college and career, the student soon to leave, the student in midst of education, the student who has recently enrolled, and the student who will one day call him- self a Monarch, as you do today. "Mr. Monarch is a big word. It has to be. for it covers a lot of territory. For I am not just you. the student, nor the memories of the past, functions of the present and expectations of the future, nor am I just buildings and courses offered here. I am tradition. I'm participation and spirit. So you see. Mr. Monarch has to be a big word, because it heads everything that is Valley College. L'My life started with 400 students in September of 1949. The campus was small, adjacent to Van Nuys High School. My needs for expansion were recognized, and a site, 145 acres, Valley College today, was purchased on Burbank Boulevard. I started growing. Phase I and II came into View quickly, and now look at me, Phase III-the Planetarium. Art and Life Science Building and combined classroom facilities for business. ll il almost completed and ready to be occupied in the fall semester. journalism. mathematics. earth science and home economics- "When you come to think about it. growing pains and 1 expansion are my middle name. It's rewarding to grow and ' to see yourself growing at the same time. L'Fall. 1962? Didn't that just start yesterday? Those hours seem like seconds. especially when you're the heart of campus life, as I am. as you are. It seems as if it were only yesterday that I started the semester anxiously. and soon Ilm going to graduate again. Time does fly. "As I have said before. today approximately 12.500 stu- dents give me life. Of these, in the day division 2.500 are freshmen, 2,350 are sophomores. In the evening division 4,700 are freshmen and 2.600 are sophomores. Of the total that give me life 420 plan to graduate in June. Eighty-five per cent of the total plan to transfer, and the remaining have terminal programs. Sixty-four per cent are men and 35 are women, and one out of every eight is married. HMV average age is between 18 and 19, and I entered college from high school. the majority of me from high school graduated from Grant High School, just around the corner. "UCLA is the average choice for transfer, but there are approximately 1,601 students who are undecided as to which j 4-year school to attend. i ii lil ll ll . l tl tl l Participation and spirit 4'Part of my total enrollment carry the average major of business and management, but alas, 785 students-this would make the undecided student the average student-havenit yet decided what major they want. It takes a little time. Valley has a lot to offer. "I attract a lot of students, even some from different corners of the globe. Foreign students coming to Valley for education and a look at the United States, take home with them more than can be put into a suitcase. 'CDO you have a vague picture of me now? The preceding is my physical features, my facial expression, and now for a little character to make my existence clearer. '4Events, activities, building-growing pains, probably my most salient feature-and spirit, these are my character, the pulse beat of Valley College. HYou and the person standing next to you are the domi- nent features of campus life. Clubs would not be clubs Without leadership and participation, nor would sports, plays and con- certs. Activities are not active vvithout you. You, who compose each and every part of me, are the mainsprings of the campus clock. 'cThis year I said goodbye to Mr. McNelis, vvho's in Europe right novv, and said hello to Valley's first lady, Dr. Marie Martin. In January I said goodbye to her and wel- comed our current president, William N. Kepley Ir. "Funny, I'm always saying hello and goodbye, if not to presidents, it's to teachers and students. 'cBut I join in with everything, the fun too. Iive been to all the dances, and I've danced every dance. I've even decorated the gym and Field House and arranged for the bands to play. "I've clapped at every TA production-uBus Stop" and all the others-listened to all the music concerts and attended every performance of one-act plays. "And one Saturday night, I vvas out of this World. Excited, my hands stinging from clapping, my throat hoarse from yell- ing, that Saturday night when the Monarch pigskinners pulled the field right from under San Diego's cleats with a 14-7 victory. That first Metro win, and my field, the Monarch Field, was no longer a desert. The long, frustrating drought was over. No lights were needed for that night, for there were enough sparkles in the Monarchs' eyes, my eyes, to illuminate the entire Valley. Proud I was when I received scholarships, avvards and recognition for my vvork. Doubly proud I was when I was "Hello, Valley College." i , ii 3 . ' f'P7't'-.vw-45.1-4-A - ,.. .N .

I was even called upon to put the crown on the Homecoming Queenls head, and I danced with her too. "To advance myself in my weaker subjects, I had sessions with the teaching machines. That helped me out too. "The Athenaeum was pretty good this year, wasn't it? It kicked off with that "Wilde Evening with Shaw." The museum films were good, a little old, but good! "Occupational series hit another interesting home run this year. Many a Tuesday at 11, I was sitting in -the front row listening to lectures on such careers as engineering, music, art, physics and home economics. g'You could spend an entire day here, just going to lec- tures, shows and sports. It's all here. "You know, I even gave blood to the bloodmobile. And many of my names appeared on the Dean's List. L'That's a lot of territory in one semester, besides all the other activities that I dabble in. I'm on Council and IOC, and I'm in the Admissions Office too, counseling. '4When you come to think about it, I do a man-sized job, and it starts over and over each semester. "I do a lot of things because I like to. It's not a job, I'1h not paid in money. I am paid in something intangible-a certain spirit, an inner thanks. For the week I do in classes, I do get paid-in grades. If I didn't do too well, my grades showed it. But if I did do well, I was not only paid in grade points but in knowledge too. 'Tm a saga of growth with phases of campus construction emerging. I stand in endless lines waiting for classes and books, and I do this every semester. I'm a lifetime Monarch. I'm time in essence and victory and defeat. I am Mr. Monarch, and so are you." .Everyontefs "Through th day, I see my comp t t I ty Always hello, always good-bye 7 V P-1' , xi , vii' 1' . ,F .,AA .

In chess, when an important player is lost, he is replaced by another piece, who serves in an exact or similar capacity. So it is at Valley where the adminis- tration moves may have a far reaching effect. Because any move affects the lives of literally thousands, each is carefully planned. To insure the move is correct, a test is given to select the most valuable player. Last summer many of Valley's administra- tors were wanted to serve in their present positions. Some of the moves were planned as replacements for instructors or administrators on sabbaticals, or other leaves. The biggest change came when Valley Col- lege president, William J. McNelis, left Valley for a year's sabbatical in Europe. This move was covered by Dr. Marie Y. Martin of Los Angeles City College. Dr. Martin from the very start won the hearts of the students with her warm smile and sincere personal interest in the school's students and activities. When Dr. Martin left Valley to assume the presidency of Los Angeles Metropolitan College of Business in November, William N. Kepley Jr. moved into position as Valley's president. William E. Lewis was moved in on the administrative chessboard as dean of student activities after Mrs. Nena Boyer retired in .Tune of '62 Dr. Helena Hilleary moved into the position of assistant dean of student activities, a place formerly occupied by James N. Cox. Dr. Hil- leary's duties are to assist Dean Lewis in student activities. As dean and assistant dean of student activi- ties, Lewis and Dr. Hilleary hold jobs that are directly tied to the running of student govern- ment and are charged with bettering the collec- tive student body socially and scholastically. Returning from a year's sabbatical, Robert N. Cole was moved into place to resume his duties as dean of special services. Kermit Dale, who held Dean Cole's position while Cole was on sabbatical, moved to the position of assistant dean of instruction. Valleyls chess game assures the students that when an administration opening occurs, the best qualified person can be assigned to the position and that Valley will never face a stalemate in the movement of top talent, edu- cational and administrative ability. A pause, and Q move Leadership in triplicate Valley College's leadership has changed hands more often in the past two semesters than the government of France. William J. lVIcNelis, Valleyls president, left the school on a sabbatical leave. Dr. Marie Martin took over the leadership in September. She was offered a permanent position at Metropolitan College of Business. Again Valley searched for a new leader.

Kepley Ir., administrator and teacher, took over the head office at the college. Kepley, who has served 18 years in the Los Angeles School System, came to Valley from the post of curriculum coordinator for the seven colleges of the Los Angeles college district. "Valley College is an outstanding institution with tremendous stature in California," said Kepley, commenting on his appointment. Kepley, too, has stature. In 1961, While on A college In leave from the Los Angeles City School System, he founded and was first president of South- western College in Chula Vista. Valley's presidential changes resulted from the retirement of Dr. John Given which left the presidential chair at Metropolitan College vacant.

ASB vice president, 'initiated a plan to rejuvenate club par- ticipation on campus through IOC. I en- sen was able to re-activate five clubs toward a goal of 30 active and enthusi- astic clubs on campus. Commenting on the atmosphere around the campus, Easton said, i'VVithout participation in school activities, a campus can be a very cold place." Hoping to spread the spirit generated in their own group, student government staged numerous dances and campus campaigns. This year's governmental body has proved to be one of high goals and de- termination. The enthusiasm displayed has encouraged more participation in school activities and has helped to les- sen student apathy.

Ask the Faculty Committee on Superior Students and the answer might be the Math Seminar. Valley's Math Seminar began in the spring of 1958 when some Valley College students de- cided they Would like the use of a laboratory in which they could conduct experiments on their own. The students also wanted to have an in- structor around to advise them and to lecture on advanced material as they needed it for their experiments. The idea was discussed with some of the instructors who took the problem to the Faculty Committee on Superior Students. The result was a sub-committee for handling four different seminars-mathematics, chemis- try, physics and engineering. 'LThe primary reason for the seminarf' ac- cording to Charles Kinzek. math instructor and one of the seminar leaders. His to stretch the student's imagination and to get him interested in math, to inform, and to stimulate his thoughtsfl One instructor is in charge of the seminar series for an entire semester. Each Week during that term, he meets with the group to lecture on the semesters topic, and the students parti- cipate freely in discussions with the instructor. The lectures give students both capable and interested in advanced mathematics a better background for further studies at a four-year university. This background is much broader and further advanced than the students Would- othervvise be able to get from classes other than those at a four-year college. ri Volleying theory back and forth in the math seminar 'game' are Tex Davidson and Paul Johnson. Some of the topics covered in past series are the theory of sets, advanced analysis, the theory of numbers and geometrics and other topics Euclyd never thought of. One example of a superior student in action is Robert von Tiehl, fourth semester student. He hopes to be a teacher on the university level in either mathematics or physics and plans to transfer to UCLA after Valley., A member of the Dean's List with a 3.2 average, von Tiehl is an active member of Les Savants and has served as president of the Computing Club. Von Tiehl is taking the seminar because he Hlikes math and something new is available in the seminarf' He doesn't like the idea of only a few courses being available to him. 'Through the seminar, I can enter a new area of mathe- matics without first getting a more intensive background in math," said von Tiehl. Students are recommended for the study group by their instructors. After a careful check of school records, qualified students are then invited to attend the group. Qualification includes at least a LB' average in all college work and an interest in mathe- matics. Occasionally a high school student of exceptional ability may join the seminar if he has a B-plus average in all high school work. The type of program provided by the sem- inar is in practice in very few of the junior colleges. Valley's program enables Valleyites to grow in respect to mathematics, it provides the students with a background and knowledge otherwise unobtainable on the two-year level, and it is even superior to many a four-year university program. fr Charles B.

L E Student success secret: learning machines Students who might fall behind in classes because they need supplemen- tary drill have found they can easily keep up with their classmates. How? With a learning machine. Firmly established at Valley is an altogether new concept in education- the Study Skills Center featuring a scientifically structured lesson given by machines. Anyone walking past Bungalow 36 wouldn't notice anything out of the ordinary. There are no gigantic in- struments, lights blinking, keys tabula- ting, or wires coming out of the heads of students working with the machines. A learning machine is about the size of a notebook but contains much more. And although inexpensive to pur- chase, the machines are priceless con- sidering the knowledge that can be obtained from them. Valley has six such machines. They are manually powered and are avail- able to all students interested in learning. No grades, no cost, all that is in- volved is time and effort. Students work and learn at their own speed and with the help of the blue machine they tutor themselves. Simple instructions from Allan Keller starts a student out right in a session withthe learning machines. 0' ,if , Algebra, arithmetic, electricity, gram- mar, punctuation, spelling, elementary physiology and statistics are subjects offered at the Study Skills Center. It was Dr. B. F. Skinner, psycholo- gist at Harvard, who perfected the idea of the study machine. He, along with others, realized how effectively subject drill by machine conditions the student. For example, spelling courses start where the student needs help. It may be at the middle of the course or at the beginning. The alphabet, its divisions, consonants and vowels, long and short vowel sounds and association of spelling with sound are basic ideas presented by the machine. w Mr. Allan Keller, counselor and head ofthe Study Skills Center, helps a student choose the portion of a course most suitable to her needs. When a-student needs help in course fundamentals, the machine starts at the beginning, going over and over the material until the student has a firm foundation. At the end of each study unit, the machine offers a test. If the student feels he has passed-that he knows the subject-he goes on to the next assign- ment. If necessary, the machine starts over again. Other forms of this concept in learn- ing have been successful at other schools. At Valley, as at other colleges, sessions with a study machine may be the secret of success for many students. 23 l v LA Learning through involvement ,W 42:1 -fv- Y., S.. Marianne Whitley, Barbara Taylor and Betty Dunham try on costumes in Valley's Green and Gold Room in preparation for a Shakespearean presentation. Involvement is the key to the success of English 15, Valley's Shakespeare class. '4The person learns when he becomes involvedf' says Mrs. Nancy Ferguson, the class instructor. This applies not only to the students in the Shake- speare class but also to faculty members who delight in visiting the class and performing scenes from the famous English plays. When the class is studying a particular play, the play is first read, researched and dis- cussed. Sometimes the class will write a com- parative paper on critical reviews of the play. Shakespearean plays are often performed in class. Imagination has a major role in class- room performances because costumes are not always worn. Mrs. Ferguson reads the plays with the students. She has done theatrical and radio productions with such noted actors as John Barrymore and Hans Conreid, who has visited the class on several occasions. '4She seems to emphasize the right words," said Shakespeare student Betty Dunham of Mrs. Ferguson. l'She is a really good scholar and actress and makes the class entertaining and exciting as well as informative." The character portrayals of the students are so fascinating that students peeking in the class- room windows often find them.selves entering the room and staying the remainder of the class hour. While the class is not primarily one of drama, acting is a featured facet of the class. Many of the students are talented in the areas of music, and in such instances singing, dancing and instruments are worked into the plays. Trying on costumes in the Green and Gold Room is part of the semester's activity. The class wears costumes at least once during the course, a colorful sight draws the interest of many students, faculty and administration members. 1 "lt's such a fat part," says Hans Conreid Uncle Tonoose of T.V. fame, speaking of Hamlet to Valley Shakespeare Many of the students are not drama or English majors, but all take an active part in the class, contributing and carrying away in- formation. Betty Dunham, an education major, has found the English 15 material helpful for her speech class. The majority of her other classes benefited her from 'fexperience gained in research. "' Terry Henley has found Mdeeper insights and a deeper impression of what Shakespeare means and can meanf' The students study the plays, Hnot as dead scholarly things, but as plays with people- live peoplef' points out Mrs. Ferguson, and the classroom is the laboratory for developing creativity. students CLUB5 . ,L fm- -vt ' ' 5, Nl 'Q ',1. ..,, v .x. .. , , 11 4. ,f V, 1.1 F , .

Clubs on campus Shortly after the beginning of each semester. Valley students, new and old, are introduced to the many clubs on campus by the varied agenda highlighting Valley' College's semi- annual Club Day. Club Day activities generally last from three to four hours, and often spot- lighted on the Mall are exhibitions covering almost any interest-from the yips and yells of Karate to the musical swing of a combo.

The main purpose of the club is to give students an insight into German cul- ture, something each teacher i.s qualified to do. One of the most active clubs on campus, the German Club schedules luncheons at the Old Heidelberg Inn, German folk dances, films, ice skating trips and light operas. A lot of hours go into the leadership of such a group. VABS, Valley's Associated Business Students, plans club activities to further the student's realistic concept of the business vvorld. Advisers to the group are Mark A. Matthews, Blaine E. Gunn and Mrs. Virginia Munns, Whose aim is to acquaint the student with the trends of modern business. Through participation in VABS, an under- standing of potentials, goals, and routes to suc- cess are made available to the business student. Club.s, many of which meet at the Tuesday!

While archery never really died, thanks to the legends of Sherwood Forest and tales of the Old West, the modern outlaws and merry men have had little use for the bow and arrow.

Turning the tide and whipping up a- fighting football team this year was new head coach George Ker. The Lions can boast a fine young club, with the average age of the players around 19 years, as Coach Ker eagerly awaits the arrival of next year's football season. Most of the players from this year's squad will be returning for another year, and, with a little luck, the Monarchs should be a first rate ball club. This year the team worked out during practice session to a time schedule. The entire squad was divided into two groups, all those playing offense grouped together and all those playing defense grouped separately. The offense spent two-thirds as much time on offense as on defense. The reverse held true for the defense. Coach Ker, along with new line coach Nick Gio- vinazzo, worked strictly on offensive plays with both units. Mike Wiley and the late Bus Sutherland con- centrated on the defensive plays with both units. The coaches decided to use the platoon system as much as possible. This gave the offensive unit more rest since they were only in the game when Valley had possession of the ball. The defensive unit bene- fited likewise, only playing when th o osin team had the ball. D e PP g During the season. it was Coach Ker's policy to scout each team twice before Valley faced them. The scouts' reports were then coordinated with films of previous Valley encounters and a plan of attack formulated. It has been Ker's policy to get together with his staff every Sunday for about five hours to review films and scouting reports. At these meetings it was decided who would play what position, which defense looked good against certain teams and which offense would be most effective. All of the decisions made were the joint opinions' of the entire coaching staff. The coaches knew few idle hours this season. W'hen they weren't working with the team directly or scout- ing other teams, the Valley coaches were out scouting local high, school games, looking for possible talent for future Valley teams. Coach Ker's building program has been enhanced by a class this spring called field sports which includes all members of the squad and those who are planning to play football next fall. The class drills in running plays, blocking practice, working with weights and general physical conditioning. This year's inexperienced team will be next year's football veterans. The team's expectancy this fall is summed up by Coach Ker, who says, c'There'll be no excuses next year." I X P A building program PW The late Bus Sutherland barks out orders.

For many years, Ben McFarland, director of athletics, worked to bring this sport to Val- ley. Nick Giovinazzo. who taught wrestling at Monterey High School, is the head coach. There are 10 different weight divisions in which a Wrestler can compete: 115, 123, 130, 137, 14-7, 157, 167, 177, 191 and unlimited. At the present time there are five schools in the Metropolitan Conference that have Wres- tling teams: Bakersfield, Cerritos, El Camino, San Diego and Valley. Actually, collegiate Wrestling is a far cry from the professional entertainment type. Rules that regulate intercollegiate wrestling do not al- low any hold which could be harmful to the body in any way, and there are no such things as masked men, bearded giants or other aspects of showmanship. Each collegiate team has 10 men, and they obtain points by a Npin" worth five points, and a 'cdraw" worth two points for each team. Intercollegiate eport different -from 'raeelin' 4'Wrestling is a sport that develops indi- vidual initiative, mental alertness, physical toughness, body control under combat condi- tions, courage and physical efficiency to carry on,'l says Giovinazzo. Surprlsrng Joe Jacobsen finishes has three mule cuheod of the pack in the conference finals. It was the kind of day the Chamber of Com- merce writes about. Temperature in the mid 7O's, a slight breeze rolling in from the east and fleecy white clouds dotting a clear blue sky. Add a few hills and twisted pathways through the trees-three miles of footing that varies be- tween grass and sand. Three miles of tortuous running for hundreds of college athletes. Minus the large crowds which other sports Bug . effort, little crowd draw, cross-country runners perform in a sort of vacuum all their own. All they hear and see are the other runners trying desperately to con- serve their breath for the finish. All they care about is their own. In perhaps the most difficult activity on the collegiate level, Valley College found the one bright spot in an otherwise dismal fall semester. Dick Krenzer led the squad to the confer- 'Y' Cross country: ence championship, Winning the Most Valuable Athlete award in the process. For Krenzer, it marks the second time he has won the honor in as many such tries. Back in 1960, Krenzer, then in his first semester at Valley, was the thp run- ner in the conference. Biggest surprise of the season, in a sport Where upset vvins and unexpected performances are the rule rather than the exception, was freshman J oe Jacobserfs fine second-place show- ing. Jacobsen, according to past performances, should have finished eighth. All told, Monarch runners took seven of the top 23 spots to win handily over Cerritos, El Camino and the rest of the pack. Cross-country runners, the forgotten men of college athletics, have reached the big time at Valley College. 4 1 ' 9? if 1223? :Q 15,1 t 59 .. .ab . Y.. ., fw .-X Z gg Q aww, 4: MQ a ,r.

Given the call letters of KVJC, the station was later moved indoors and four years ago, when the title of Valley was changed from Valley Junior College to Los Angeles Valley College, KLAV was born. From the Associated Student Body funds, S100 per semester is allotted as an allowance to help finance the operation of Valley's station on a closed circuit. Fully capable of broadcasting on an open circuit that would reach the greater part of the Valley, KLAV restricts its coverage in con- sideration of the expense involved. Nevertheless, KLAV gives professional train- ing to Valley students. Radio and TV stations are frequently visited, as is the Don Martin Professional School in Hollywood. Guest speakers ,on KLAV have included Bill Ballance of radiols Channel 98, one of Valley's most frequent visitors, Tom Kennedy, George Walsh, CBS, and Jackson Wheeler, remem- bered as one of the students' favorite speakers. Jack Latham has invited many of the students to sit in on his Channel 4 broadcasts. KLAV has been assigned its part in civil defense also. In the case of an alert, the station would be tuned to the proper CD channel and would relay instructions to the students. Now, however, with the new communications system centered in the Administration Building and hooked to all the new buildings, it looks as if KLAV might no longer be required to play this role. Even on a closed circuit KLAV has been known to cover a wide area. There's a story around campus that, once upon a time, a woman living at Whitsett and Burbank called the station telling them that she enjoyed their programs but that her husband was a day sleeper and could they please turn down the volume a little. is h- . .

A visit inside, however, would reveal the truth. 1 Bungalow 74 is a classroom, the treasures are student projects. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 12 to 2 p.m., Bungalow 74-, the ceramic laboratory, is filled with students working with clay. p The ceramic classes begin with the fabrica- tion and decoration of tile, learning the factors N involved in coloring, molding and glazing. A While it might seem trivial to start with A such an item as small and unimportant as a piece of tile, all future projects depend upon this first work. Step by .step, one project leads 9 to another until the student utilizes all he has learned on one large project. Art 51 and 52, A and B, comprise four se- i F mesters' work. Margaret McAtee, 'third semes- ter art student and ceramic lab assistant, plans to go on with ceramics in its many forms- sculpture, stoneware, design-to creat objects of art. On Valley's campus, near the mall and automation center, stands a fenced-in rectangu- lar shaped thing-a-ma-jig. Many students walk by without knowing what it is, but every cer- amic student is familiar with the third kiln, a high temperature kiln which must be placed outside of the building. Handicraft purposes, a hobby or a serious art interest are reasons that may prompt a student to take ceramics. With clay, glazing chemicals and school-furnished equipment, a ceramic stu- dent learns to make items of interest. Advanced students choose what they want to do. The finished project, which takes months of preparation, is impressive to see. A small statue of a woman's back, with a child leaning over her shoulder, can be seen from the window of Bungalow 74-, There are bowls in many colors, some polished or decor- ated brightly. There are ashtrays and a wide assortment of Hobjects d'art" all individually designed. Walking indoors one sees artists in action. interested ceramics students who learn by doing.

It's the result of many things: students with a nose for news and, of course, newspaper contacts, a sports bureau, a news bureau and good community relations. How does Valley College get in the news? A large portion of the answer comes from the many facets of the journalism department which include public relations facilities at Valley. Students training in newspaper and public relations work find a niche on the staff of the I ll mv.-K, I - liafronar HEY 131858 'FR Iibaftiff? E 3 2 f . .

Each of the staffs has a student director and is advised by a member of the faculty. Students on the News Bureau are assigned specific newspapers to-which they report the activities and events of Valley College, Addi- tional news releases are sent to radio and tele- vision stations keeping the community informed on all campus events. Along with classroom lectures, actual news- writing practice is part of the course curricula taken by sports and News Bureau students. T ,gr M - -1.

Q -'iv K , Tunes and tempo Should Valley College ever find itself in the center of a heat wave, the cause probably would be found in the Music Building where hot notes and hot rhythm lead to a "real cooln sound. The originator in this instance is Robert MacDonald and his Jazz Band. Since its birth. the band has had no difficulty in winning awards. It won the 1953 Metronone Magazine dance band contest, a national competition, and walked away with the 1961 Mon- terey jazz band competition top prize. There are two main factors contrib- uting to the success of the band. The first is MacDonald, the bandls director. He has effectively 'lkeyedn his way to win some of the nation dance band prizes. His activities outside of the Val- ley campus, including rehearsing and conducting the production at the Battle of the Bands in the Hollywood Bowl, have proven him one of the tops. The second and equally important factor is the musicians themselves. The students learn to compose their own arrangements, and they are responsible for most of the presentations of the band. Many of the Valley graduates have gone on to work with such top name bands as the Si Zentner, Ray Conniff, Les Elgart, Les Brown and Harry James' bands. ' With two such factors as MacDonald and the band members, it is no wonder that success is synonymous with Val- ley's Jazz Band.

New buildings zoomed up and new classes were added to the curriculum. The 251,950,000 project was highlighted by a dome-shaped Planetarium. The prefabricated dome was shipped from Greensburg, Penn., to the Valley campus where it was precision fitted. When completed, light wells will be situated around the circumference of a perforated inner shell for observation of night and day effects. Other buildings included in the 1962-63 pro- gram were the Art Building, Math-Science Building, Business-Journalism Building as well as sanitary facilities and a Health Office. The Health Office portion of Phase HI was completed in December. The ubigger and bet- ter" Health Office consists of two dressing rooms, a reception room, cot rooms, eye charts and scales.

He now plays the bass and snare drums and, although blind for the last four or five years, he has combined a singing group and a combo which performs for social functions. In addition, Barner has recently received his novice's license as a ham radio operator. Hal was chosen as a guide dog at an early age. First he was farmed out to a 4-H club member for simple obedience training and house breaking, at the age of one year he was ready for intensive guide dog training. The course lasted three months. Meantime, Barner underwent a 28-day training .course in the use, understanding and commandof his guide. What do Barner's instructors think of Hal? According to Barner, there is no problem be- cause the dog sits quietly and "listens carefully to the lectures." Halts presence on campus represents hope and independence for one who might otherwise have to rely on others. i L John Scollick, like the typical Valley student, carries more than l2 academic units. For every hour spent in school, he works out two at home. The typical student At Valley a typical student is a composite of many people. He 'is male, single, non-veteran and a grad- uate of a Valley high school, as is John Scollick, 18, a Polytechnic High School alumnus. Scollick, a first semester engineering major, chose a course of study popular with typical Valley students. Like 55 per cent of his fellow students, Scollick carries more than 12 units of education. Planning to transfer to an upper division college after two years at Valley, Scollick's decision is typical of the educational ambitions of 83 per cent of Valley's students. Working after school and on weekends, as 55 per cent of Valley's students do, Scollick is employed as a delivery boy. Speaking of students with part time em- ployment, Dr. John Reiter, dean of admission and guidance, stated, "Valley College students do everything from cleaning swimming pools to acting in motion pictures." Scollick, 18-year-old male, single, non-vet- eran engineering student, is typical of students on Valley's campus where the male enrollment exceeds that of Valley coeds by a tvvo to one ratio. ,I v up wk Y I' u V.. .1 Y4.,v' .Qs 1-,H"Ql,.f.f -"-'gf '.'u:..f - -115' H ,xl seg... io-u- ,Qu ., 'turn nl John Scollick, typical Valley student, fits ci port time iob into his busy schedule. 70 if. ,f 'Q we 4. , ., 2 igaiw if T325 W ,.- -xv. 4 .'- -M. gwfix is e library, cz part of eveQf'Sfudenf's life, I5 a fundumentgjlffnecesslty for Q?'fQIbhn Scolhck gp..

For the student who special- izes in the field of science. many advanced courses and seminars are included in the curriculum. But the science de- partment is not exclusive to those who may eventually enter the field. for all students are required to take some courses from the long list of study of- fered by the department.

Mrs. Olmstead's float design was chosen over many submitted for the City of Burbank's entry in the 1963 Rose Parade. Honors in this field are not a new experience for her. A member of the Tournament of Roses Association since 1950, Mrs. Olrnstead received a first place award for a previous float, "Green VVorld." She Was among the first to use small orchids extensively to accent her 86 designs, an idea which since has spread Widely.

All about business With the world of business growing in sta- ture, and with larger numbers of college stu- dents entering the field each year, it is not surprising to find that the largest department at Valley is the Business Department. A large variety of major areas are taught by Valley's staff of an even dozen instructors. Courses include accounting, business adminis- tration, secretarial science, and marketing. A new course in business data processing has entered Valleyls curriculum. Other subjects available are business education, business man- agement, office machines, real estate and super- vision management. After following a prescribed two-year course, the Valley graduate is qualified to enter the field of bank management training, retail man- agement training offered by such leading de- partment stores as J. C. Penney and Sears, or he might enter retail or wholesale sales, or perhaps begin a career in accounting as a jun- ior accountant. VVomen graduates could also become a sec- retary, stenographer, or clerk-typist. Many times firms will hire the students before they finish their education. The business field is hungry for qualified persons. A two- 'ear degree in data rocessin will 3 s P open the door to the graduate as a programmer.

' After posting their publicity and campaign- ing for votes around campus, the nine candi- dates took part in the first major event of the week, the Homecoming rally, which was staged the opening day of voting. Actor-singer James Darren took a break in his busy career to MC the rally, introducing the candidates and interviewing each. Voting itself took two full days, with the tension building up so rapidly that most candi- dates found it hard to do anything but worry about the outcome. Such activities as eating, sleeping and studying were better left undone at this point in the campaign. . Then came the highlight of the entire week -the Homecoming dance. The lVIen's Gym was decorated, couples arrived and passed the long greeting line. Jim Henderson's orchestra began to play softly, and the tension continued to rise. One song was indistinguishable from another as the candidates tried not to think about the election and what would happen later in the evening. Only a few more minutes. The band stopped playing andthe MC took the spotlight. "The fourth princess is Madeline Blackburn, third- Marty Oeland, second-Carmen Hoo, first Rae lVlcCardie.

We I f HOMECOMING '62 Excited as she was after her election as Homecoming Queen, Gail Weichlein hardly realized that her reign was to be a memorable one. What made it so was the traditional highlight of the vveek's activity, Valleyls Homecoming football game, this year with the San Diego Knights. The teams themselves were uninspir- ing, at least from a glance at their sea- sonal records-both were winless. Spirit from both sides of the microphone had come in for criticism. But an unbeliev- able effort by yell king Randy Dunlap and a well played' game by the Mon- archs ended a two-year loss and marked the return of spirit to a revived group of students. The game is won. James Williams and Howard Briles congratulate one another and every other. Eddie Keyes heads for the promised land with victory in his arms. .. V.-. 1 loo Cliff Wetzel appears to be dazed by Valley's long awaited win. Paul Craig whispers soothing words of victory into the ear of Eddie Keyes. Losing by a touchdown at halftime, the Monarchs played inspired ball for the remain- ing two quarters. With San Diego driving for an obvious touchdown, the Valley team tossed up a rugged goal-line stand, with Tom Ny and Mike Finnigan making key tackles. Valley drove to score in the fourth quarter, but missed the extra point. San Diego led, 7-6, andiit looked as if they were on their way to their first conference win of 1962. Not satisfied with a mere one point lead, however, San Diego's Dan Helzer fired a pass intended for his left end. It never reached its target as defensive halfback Eddie Keyes picked off the aerial and ran 48 yards behind perfect blocking to score. Valley scored a two-point conversion on the next play, and successfully held off the final Knight drive to win, 14-7. If head coach George Ker's halftime talk had anything to do with the game's outcome, Valley won their 1962 Homecoming game for their fans, fans that had sat through 17 straight losses with their team. Spirit can sometimes do strange things-last fall it made a football team.

This year summer wears another successful season completed by the Lions' baseball team. But this was different than any other in the history of the college. The change came because -1 3' :gnu metro meets the Metropolitan Conference adopted a triple round. Each of the conference teams played each other three times. However, the playing days for the season were moved from Tuesday and Friday to Fri- day and Saturday with double-headers being played on Saturday. Coach Charlie Mann and crew played over 28 games last season including seven double- lr l' lf .rf fl ff. headers. Although Valley administrators and coaches were against playing all the games on the weekend, the conference made the change over their objections. The administrators did admit. however. that because the ball players did not have to play on Tuesdays. they spent more time in classes than ever before. And that's a small success all in itself.

Such was the case with the death of Coach Lester QBusj Sutherland. Few of us really knew Bus Sutherland. True, some people knew his dedication to the game,but even fewer knew how really dedi- cated Sutherland was. He gave his life, rather than give up the game. Sutherland had suffered heart attacks before his final attack on a fishing trip over the Thanksgiving Day holidays. In fact, the like- able coach had to sit out part of Valley's last two Metro Conference games after becoming ill. Dedication was only a part of Sutherland's association with footballg he was also an acknowledged student of the game. Sutherland was a unique individual from his start in chil- dren's films as a member of the original "Our Gangi' comedies through his days as a letter- man' at UCLA. At UCLA, versatile Sutherland starred on the 1936-37-38 football teams as blocking back. His outstanding ability continued in evidence through his final job as Valley's backfield coach. Praise, no matter how sincere, sometimes just doesn't fill the void left by a great man. Bus Sutherland will be missed. ,wie Sharon Foote, with patient Mrs. Ellsa Codrich, gets practical experience essential to nursing education. 4" ima 2 '39 x Training tor tomorrow's service The time-honored career of nursing came of age this year on Valley's campus when the college's nursing department earned full ac- creditation from California's Board of Nursing Education and Nursing Registration. Rigid academic and professional standards were required to receive accreditation. Miss Juanita Booth, who was at the time chairman of Valley College's nursing department, said, "A nursing education consultant visited the campus for two or three days. She inspected the facilities and conferred with President Wil- Filling the needle with hope, student nurse .locin Ld Verde may find this inlection her pc1tient's bridge to ci happy life. liam McNeli.s, Dr. Stewart Marsh, dean of in- struction, and several members of the faculty." Curriculum offered in the program and fac- ulty standards Were only a portion of the items considered before accreditation vvas given. Also observed were the number of students per lab instructor and entrance eligibility of nursing students. L'The consultant," said Miss Booth, ualso visited the eight hospitals where Valley stu- dents receive training, inspecting those facili- ties and conferring with hospital personnel. In ,mi Stiff curriculum raises standards addition, the consultant talked with a number of students on campus and reviewed the cur- riculum with the stafff' What does accreditation mean to the Valley College nursing graduate? If she successfully passes the state examination, it means she will receive a Registered Nursels degree and can Work anywhere in the state as a qualified staff or private duty nurse, or she may work as an office nurse. , Reciprocity is extended to California R.N.'s by several other states. This means an PLN. from Valley may practice her profession in other states without taking additional license examinations. "In fact," said Miss Booth, "a California PLN. degree is good in most of the 50 states." This year found the Valley College campus with its academic accreditation renewed and the burgeoning nursing department receiving full accreditation honors. .

The magazines show men learning how to build a creel, worn- en learning how to make fudge or catch a hus- band and teenagers learning anything they donlt already know. All this is fine for individual learning, but when it comes to mass learning in one room, Valley Collegels own periodical room rates a claim to fame that is indeed impressive. Although some libraries have larger collec- tions of magazines than Valley, not one in the 6 Valley can claim more periodicals in one spot, namely, the library's periodical room. By subscribing to more than 500 different publications, the library has built up an awe- some collection which is limited only by space and funds allotted for library. 'cWe can only keep magazines for five years because of lack of space and can subscribe to only about 500 because we simply can't afford rnoref, says Mrs. June Bierman, librarian.

Having all magazines in one room has its advantage to the student. All material on one subject is easily found, a fact which makes re- search a much easier task. Considering the noise in the library, mainly evident at night, the periodical room can, and most of the time does, .serve as the only retreat left on campus for the student to read anything without interruption. H7 4'The best part of having such a collection is seeing it being used,'7 says Mrs. Bierman. "0ur regular librarian in charge of periodicals who is on leave,lilces to point out the fact that Valley's periodical room handles more business than the entire Glendale City College library," she continued. Glendale's library is handled by none other than the husband of Valley's periodical li- brarian. Magazines do many things for many people, the magazines at Valley afford an opportunity for a little family bragging.
