Earle, Ir. I'- x WE POINT WITH PRIDE . . . . . . To an administrative department that, while keeping a highly organized institution function- ing, always has time for the problems of the in- dividual student. . . . To an academic section that has placed MIC in its present position of high scholastic ranking. . . . To Pirate activities whose successes speak for themselves: top ratings in journalism, dra- matics and music, with a constant hum of activi- ty from potential foresters and farmers, engin- ecrs and lawyers, authors and home-makers. . . . To a craclcerjaclc athletics department that within six months has fetched conference cham- pionships in both football and basketball. Note- worthy also is the intramural program that has inspired wholesome campus competition in major and minor sports, and is each year becoming more popular. Finally, we point out campus recreation in all its forms and phases: the laudable and the ludic- rous, the sophomoric and the sublime. We give you whiskers and waterpulls, bonfires and barbe- cues, in short-Pirate pastime. ,ui 1 N-.AL y ,gm M13 16'- v-7 -.I 19. 4, . 53,4 .R gjm' fm' , ..:,Q. . -.t 'L s A Q lip 1 ' .el I, pg gi ' w K 1 2 i K I -ef - . 4 1, f ' l 1,4 ' V H in . i.

Of course, it was not done as simply as all that. Real Buccaneer work consists of observing student life, diligently catching it in all its varied, ever-changing phases. Down on photographer's film go gay moods and blue moods, frolics and frowns, con- centration and consternation. I Once only are we given the opportun- ity to paint college lifeg the picture must be a true one. New themes, new styles of make-up may be employed-so long as they do not hinder a sincere recording of school days. Pictures, of course, predominateg each one of them tells more than a thous- and words. Only you, however, can supply that intangible element that will make the 1937 Buccaneer a thing of everlasting value. Only you, the reader, can live today in such a way that tomorrow's retrospection will be a dream of happiness. Let this year- book, then, be a treasure chest that, when opened after many years, will yield a wealth of memories to warm the hearts of old Pirates. TBUCCANEER-1937 Dear Mumsy: Gee, am I thrilled!

Baker, principal THIS VOLUME OF PICTURES and sentiments represents the beginning and the ending of another perfect year of Modesto Junior College history. It is worth your while to look back at such years occasionally, although I know that youth is always eagerly looking ahead. You will see by looking back through these pages that many things have been accomplished, some of them of ephemeral value and others that will endure. The expansion of a number of stu- dent activities was made possible this year by the generosity of our governing Board of Education in providing us the new library and its various departments housed in the basement. A few of you will remember the dedication of this library. Mrs. C. E. Whitmore, who has been indefatigable during her twelve years of service to the junior college, represented the Board of Edu- cation in opening the buildingg and her name will always be linked with this and other beautiful things on our campus. I think it is eminently fitting that the Buccaneer through its pages honors Mrs. Whitmore at this time 'when she retires and lays down the 'burden of her oflice after long service in education in Modesto. Other noticeable changes on our campus have been the new lawns, new class rooms, and additions to our scien- tific and literary equipment for college studies. The college has advanced in dignity and effectiveness during the last twelve months because our people begin to recognize in it the collegium, a meeting of educated and experienced minds. And this wisdom as embodied in our campus does not come from thin air but from our books, laboratory, test-tubes, creative art, music, and all other forms of learning and experienc- ing which go on about us. Our equip- ment for such learning is far above the -111111111-:viiinu-nu.-.,.,.1,m1,,n.-im.-,,,,.-.,m.-lm,nl--.ull-...H-.lm 1937 - BUCCANEER .-n -nn-mv--un-M1M1nun-nu-nn-onlinu--un-un--nu-nu...nm-.un-n D. P. Boothe Mrs. C. E. Whitmore W. C. Shaclcelford average and we should appreciate the generosity of a board of education and a community which makes possible education on a collegiate level without cost and without differentiation for rich and poor alike. Scholarship has not suffered in our environment. This year the junior col- lege has received scores of compliments on the records made within and outside its walls. Out of forty-one Ifhi Beta Kappa Society members, elected at the University of California in this past semester, six were graduates of our junior college. This is surely a remark- able record for any college, and Modes- to is truly proud of the brilliance of these scholars who began their higher education in our classes. Alpha Gam- ma Sigma, the campus counterpart of the University honor society, has had too an unusually ine group of students in its ranks here, this year. Some of them are on the Roll of Honor in our Commencement programs. Student activities have been vying with academic achievements as the cynosure of our campus life. To begin the year we had a wonder-team on the football fieldg and that was followed by a dazzling exhibition of basketball. Both of these teams captured northern conference honors. Other men's sports were not far behindg and the women have been especially active in their own athletic competition. In brief, Modesto Junior College has made an enviable place for herself in the athletic world. Space does not permit us to detail the many other interests which have engaged attention. The college players brave completed the first year in a new Little Theatre that far outmodes our old one. They won for the fourth consecutive year outstanding awards at the junior college play festival in BUCCANEER - 193 7 Pasadena. Meanwhile the alumni play- ers of the college have been carrying on in many other theaters their continued careers in this active. 'In music and debating there have been new stars to replace those who made their mark here in the past years. A11 in all it is a bewildering array, as you see it por- trayed in these pages of our annals. All of this goes to prove that edu- cation is the most wonderful thing in the world, and it is not found in class- rooms alone. An old Hindu proverb is says that one-fourth of our education comes from our peculiar occupations, one-fourth comes from our associates, one-fourth comes from nature, and one-fourth from our books. We hope that when you leave Modesto Junior College and when after our Commen- cement you really commence life you will remember the days you have had here, out of doors, with your friends, with your books, and in your voca- tional preparation. And we wish you a happy journey in the days just ahead. H. Wellman J. H. Bradley Dr. E. F.

Loren Mowrey THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF 1937 has contributed many prominent athletes and able, efhcient leaders in dramatics, music, publications, debating, and stu- dent body activities. Instilled with a spirit of sportsmanship, enthusiasm, and cooperation, the class has perpetuated the established traditions and attempt- ed to create new precedents as they carved their niche in campus history. Under the leadership of Dick Lyng the Freshmen held a barbecue and dance, acclaimed the most outstanding event on the fall calendar. The class was the first to hold a barbecue at the newly-constructed campus picnic grill. In the spring with President Clinton Mack at the helm the members Were unusually active participating in the annual Water-Pull, holding an all-class picnic at Legion Park, honoring the Sophomores at a dance and enjoying other social affairs.

Yates, vice principal EDUCATORS TODAY generally recog- nize the place and importance of stu- dent activities as a part of the educative process in the college program. Since education may rightly be defined as the process of learning how to live, any- thing that lends itself to effective living should be a part of the school's curri- culm. Formerly these activities were desig- nated as extra-curricular. That is, all student organizations or interests, apart from formal classroom procedure, were regarded as something outside and be- yond the curriculum. Some of us on the faculty remem- ber Wheiysuch activities as debating, journalism, dramatics, and athletics of all kinds were little more than tolerat- ed. Certainly direction and supervision were not regarded as a part of the school,s responsibilities. Today they are considered as indispensable parts of the curricular offerings of a modern college. The Moiesto Junior College recog- nizes the value of student activities. Every possible encouragement is given to club work, athletics, debating, jour- nalism, music, and dramatics. The community, the Board of Education, the school administration and the mem- bers of the faculty are generous with their money or time in supporting these interests. The students of the Modesto Junior College have in turn responded gener- ously and enthusiastically with their time and energy to this encouragement and supervision. Representatives of these various activities have taken their assignments seriously and have brought to the college a reputation throughout the state for outstanding achievements. These achievements, we believe, have been of inestimable value to the school in general but in particular to the participating students. We learn to do by doing, and if, as the Wise men among the Greeks admonished two thousand years ago, We avoid too much of anything, activities are ef- fective teachers in this process of learn- ing how to live. 30 SJSCIUJSIAI SSJIUIIUIOD QADTIJSXE Z.E6I'9E6I Z sn 'S IT' as I: 'uosuppv UOISIAQJ 9 1 QJSAA D' go Jaqumu 92.121 9 BP 'SSOU H-.

Advised by Dwight C. Baker, the society selected its members on the basis of leadership, scholarship, service and fellowship. The membership of the fall semes- ter included Mary Vincent, Rose Web- ster, Gracealberta Hudelson, Pauline Julius, Agnes Lindquist, Katherine Spi- vey, Jean Overman, Mary Frances Gurney, Carol Evans, Carl Hunter, Lynn Windus, Floyd Abbott, Marshall Atkinson, George Maze, Edwin Smith, Elmer Wiiager, Otis Perry, Joseph Jones, Bill Stebbins, Frank Triano, Jack Summers and Jack Flook. In the spring Gerry Barnett was selected to fill a vacancy. During the year the organization voted to sponsor the museum plan, and obtained the cooperation of other cam- pus clubs. The club members were speakers on deputation teams, gave an assembly, and acted as assistants in the annual Open House. The 'society made the preparations for the annual Soph- Alumni dance. saw tw Otis Perry, spring semester ASMJC president i f W l f rl, , ffdd 1 I Q T ' I , 40 ii 'X ,fy ,TM 1917 - BUCCANEER 'FQ'i l'7lv 'llli'l'lT'lllli'llll'T'llll'1llll'5? llVilV ll lYI IYIlilIIIv 1- 1 TTliT IlIlTlIVI1lIlIT'lIll1lIlI1UH1IIIK1-vllllv-1lllrilluvlluill T ,f i ,' X- X---r X X l , 1 A l .

Eight successive issues, edited by Elmer Winger, advised by Leonard I. Bartlett, were judged and given this high honor. The year's journalistic endeavor was hlled with interesting new innovations for the college Weekly. Starting work in the fall in a new press room, the Collegian editors published as their first issue, the largest paper in MJC history -a twelve page newspaper. This car- ried a new streamline type of headline. Additions to the paper were a mast- head on woman's page and Campus Camera, a feature released by the As- sociated Collegiate Press Service. Erom this service was obtained an editorial page feature, This Collegiate World. Editor Winger carried on, through his editorial columns, a movement to have a campus museum started. , The staff for the fall semester was Elmer Winger, editor, Rosemary Der- rough, advertising manager, Carol Ev- ans, campus editor 5 Bill Stebbins, sports editor, Mary Vincent, woman's editor, Mary Frances Gurney, feature editor, Ralph Malone, circulation manager, Chow, Gerry Barnett, Ed Willard, Martha Tatoyan, columnists, Joseph Jones, Carlton Peregoy, Donald Cal- kins, John Patton, Dorman Commons, Ruth McCleary, June Hamilton, Phyl- lis McKee, Dorothea Sprague, Phyllis Klinkhammer, Helen Manha, Senechi Sakurai, Irene Pettersen, Barbara Whit- more, Lawson Moore, Betty Reed, Juliet Bidou, Hazel Moore, Marion Lil- ley, Frank Vaccaro, Ed O'Connor, Dayton Hardin, Charles Johnson and Tom Hancock. One couldn,t defeat the other, so the spring semester candidates, Bill Stebbins and Carol Evans, were de- clared co-editors of the paper. New records in advertising were set and broken by Clinton Mack, freshman advertising manager. Establishing a record for selling two one-half page ads, Mack later defeated his own high by receiving orders for two full-page layouts. A color edition was issued for the Open House festivities in the spring. Front-page streamers were used in sev- eral instances to herald important col- lege events. In order to give these ac-- tivities timely publicity, The Collegian was printed a day before the Friday publication date during certain spring weeks. ,qi '-J U VU' q , Afa L x I ig. ,aa 7' if 'J jwwfffffwf . . - A - V- LT I , .VL 5'4 ' 'ffl' U H w'l!l..Af2 BUCCANEER 1'1193'7L li' 'V-f'ff'f I 41 -....-....-....-....-....-....-....-....-..,.-.,.,-.,,. ...-. ....,. -..,,..,,,,...,..-..,.-.. lt, tain-v W-S-13-?r-4 The Modesto Junior College Press Club Pictorial interest was introduced in the Weekly by the means of candid campus pictures taken by a student photographer, Wilson Moss.

CoS0Xmfy 1937 - BUCCANEER Omw , Edwin Smith, editor of the 1937 Buccaneer LAST SPRING Edwin Smith was elected Buccaneer editor, this spring the Buccaneer is issued. That sounds simple, but a long list could be made of the details which were involved between the election of the editor and the distribution of the Buc- caneer. First came the task of requesting, encouraging, begging sophomores to have their pictures taken for the Buc- caneer. Leo Shoob, former graduate of Modesto Junior College, was the oflicial photographer who shot', not only the upperclassmen in their formal poses, but who pictured important ac- tivities of the school year. Kenneth Fosberg and Wilson Moss, as student photographers, were respon- sible for snapshots and action pictures of the students in their less studious moments. ' Selection of the editorial staff was made in the spring semester with writ- ers being assigned articles covering all activities and events of the year 1936- 1937. Making assignments was com- paratively easyg getting them in before the deadline had entirely expired was a worry shared by the editor and staff. Bill Stebbins, veteran journalist of Collegian and Buccaneer, edited the sports department, with Donald Cal- kins, John Patton, and Joe Jones cov- ering athletic events of the year under his direction. Betty Chow was the writer for women's athletic activities. Buccaneer aft work and those clever feature page layouts were designed by Gracealberta Hudelson. Senechi Sa- kurai composed headings and page titles. Juliet Bidou was the hard-work- ing secretary of the staff. Betty Fitch was the rewrite member of the staff, correcting and editing copy. A technical process known as pho- tolith, done by the Stanford Press, is responsible for the unusual divisional scenes, which were photographed by Shoob. When the staff had written its last word and corrected the Hnal comma fault, the Buccaneer-to-be was placed in the hands of Simard and Mathes, Stockton printers. Next the year book was put between covers by Herbert Silvius of Sacramento. Cuts, too, were executed in Fresno, by Bee Engraving. Students writing for the Buccaneer were Carol Evans, Juliet Bidou, Ruth McC1eary, Gerry Barnett, June Hamil- ton, Betty Fitch, Phyllis Klinkhammer, Bill Stebbins, John Patton, Donald Cal- kins, and Betty Chow. The faculty adviser was Leonard I. Bartlett.

Many interesting situations are encountered in all phases of the work. Take pho- tography, for instance. Buccaneer snapsman Kenneth Fosberg well re- members being kicked around in the wild San Mateo-Modesto mob follow- ing the big game . No doubt Wilson Moss recalls the perils that confronted his none-too-waterproof camera during the Hlming of the Frosh-Soph water- pull. There were pleasanter jobs, how- ever. The delightful and unhurried assignment of photographing the cam- pus' best-looking girls in their best- looking clothes brought no groans of protest from Leo Shoob and Editor Smith. Pictures, once taken, had to be mounted for eng1'aVing. Art Editor Hudelson reports burning twenty gal- lons of midnight oil on these and other art jobs. Coffee-stomachsv and first- class headaches were also enjoyed by the corps of copy-writers. Proof-reading was a bugaboo in itself. You can imag- ine the shout that went up when it was discovered that CID there were great spaces denoting insufficient copyg CZQ Gordon Pool,s name was cryptogram- med into the forewordg C31 whole John Patton Buccaneer Business Nlanager pages were printed upside down, and C45 Dorman Commons was not men- tioned on the yearbook staff. Things like these occasioned all kinds of show- downs, and quite often fur flew pro- fusely. Anyway, it's been a lot of fun work on the 1937 Buccaneer, hasn't it? To which a fatigued staff replies with a groan that denotes neither agreement nor disagreement, but a great feeling or relief.

Barbara Whitmore as the heroine, murdered by Ashley, handled the com- plex role deftly. Facial grimaces of Charlotte Smith in the part of the heroine,s sister con- tributed materially to her portrayal of this amusing role.

During the coming school year, combined groups including a men's oc- tette, a women's octette, women's trio, mixed choruses and roundtable singers will represent JC's vocal courses. Some experimentation with the roundtable system was done this year with Jeanne Cool, Charlotte Smith, Alice Pendergrass, Charles Harding, Bruce Selkirk, Carl Hunter, Ralph Knapp, Gordon Pool, and David Ryd- bom as the table singers. Both the glee clubs, men under the direction of Mrs. Edna Barr Love and women under Robert W. McKnight, the oratorio class directed by both in- structors and the A Capella choir direc- ted by McKnight spent a year packed with engagements from assemblies to radio programs. The women sang for high schools in Hilmar, Livingston, Turlock, Ceres, Stockton, and Hayward. Cn May 29th they broadcast over KGO.

During Easter vacation in March, the men attended the Westerii Music conference in San Francisco at the Hotel Fairmont in response to an in- vitation. Four years ago this organi- zation received such an invitation for the first time. True Christmas spirit was found when these two clubs combined just before Christmas vacation to sing a pageant in the Presbyterian Church, in candlelight with each member robed in black. And in early May both clubs went to Stockton for the Northern Califor- nia Junior College Music Association. The entire music department, glee clubs, A Capella choir, band and or- chestra pooled their respective talents to present a recital May 25 ch in the Modesto High School auditorium. Combining successfully once more, the men and women sang for bacca- laureate services to conclude their year's activity. Mrs. Love says the caliber of the club was unusually good. She has had three superior groups and counts this year,s among them. McKnight found his group equally Robert W.

Under the leadership of the veteran debate coach Dr. Edwin Oscar Smith, the varsity speakers were unusually active participating in debates with Stanford University, College of Pacific, Fresno State College, Sacramento, Men- lo, Salinas, San Francisco, and Colinga junior colleges. This year for the first time the M-IC varsity was represented at the annual California Debate con- gress held on April 9 at the University of California in Berkeley. Debating timely and important political issues the first clash of the season was held on the question, Re- solved: That the proposed California chain store tax amendment should be adopted. Later the Varsity debated tl1e national Phi Rho Pi subject, Re- solved: That congress shall be empow- ered to fix minimum Wages and maxi- mum hours for industry. Climaxing the season's debating activities teams clashed with Stanford University de- baters at Palo Alto on the Supreme Court controversy. In the intra-mural debating more than thirty students participated in Weekly, major-decisional Delta Chi en- counters on humorous and current subjects, such as, Can the United States maintain neutrality during Eur- opean Wars? , Are men more level- headed than Women? , and Resolved: That the younger generation is going to the dogs.

BUCCANEER - 1937 M J C CLUBS Climaxing a successful season the Camera club, composed of amateur photographers, and sponsored by Gale C. Griswold presented its tenth annual MIC photography exhibition. The club has been active in campus affairs furnishing event pictures and candid shots for the Buc- caneer. The Lambda Alpha, honor- ary musical society, is organized to promote and continue high standards of scholarship among music students and advance the knowledge of music. Member- ship restrictions permit only music majors with high scholastic rec- ords to be admitted. Extending its membership to include social science majors the Hammurabi club, sponsored by E. W. Colby, adviser, and organ- ized only last year, has been un- usually successful in its attempt to create a law fraternity on this campus whose avowed purpose is, to further interest in the legal profession . The Press club, representing the publications department of Modesto Junior College, is an or- ganization aiming to promote in- terest and high efficiency in jour- nalistic endeavors. BUCCANEER - 1937 The Pre-Medical Club, com- posed of students interested in medicine or studying medicine for a profession, this year has added fifteen more students to its membership list. At meetings, held at homes of members, auth- orities lectured in different fields of medicine and served to in- crease the students' knowledge and ability. The Agriculture Club organ- ized early last fall has made an enviable Hrst year's record. Floats entered by the club won first place in Spring Frolic and placed second in the noise parade. Walter Ballard, Lowell Lam- bert, Ernest Stewart and Mino Tavernas, charter members of this active group, competed with students from five western states in the Interstate Livestock show held in San Francisco winning numerous awards. Success epitomizes the 19- 36-1937 season for the Home Economics club whose well-plan- ned educational and social activi- ties were enthusiastically received. Holding a barbecue and dance at Beard Brook Scout house, a Slumber party, which included a buffet supper and theater party, and presenting a Fashion Show to 300 guests representing fifteen schools were among the outstand- ing social events enjoyed by the members. Tutoring and sponsoring mu- sical and literary programs were the projects of the Alpha Gamma Sigma, honorary scholastic socie- ty. In the spring Marvin W. Cragun, a new member of the faculty, succeeded Miss Aline Polk as club adviser.

Founded only last year the Associated 1V1en's Students or- ganization has already achieved an important place among cam- pus societies in its attempt to pro- mote good fellowship and activi- ties on the campus. Cooperating in launching the panel type of debate on this cam- pus the Delta Chi, an organiza- tion sponsored by Phi Rho Pi, have been exceedingly active in promoting forensic activities. The Boots and Daggers was organized in 1927 by the men of Modesto Junior College as an as- sociation to uphold true Pirate sportsmanship and promote col- legiate ' fellowship. Membership is limited to ten Sophomores and five Freshmen.

Several guest speakers were se- cured during the year to discuss new development in this branch of study. In the spring, Presi- dent Margaret Abernethy inaug- urated the policy of holding weekly banquets to further the club's social interests. Organizing this year, philate- lic fanciers, under the direction of Dr. Edwin Oscar Smith, new adviser, again founded a campus Stamp Club. Sponsoring bi-weekly stamp broadcast over radio station KTRB the organization with James Moynihan, president, has been active in holding exhibits to display Red Cross seals, rare stamps from all parts of the globe and valuable United States and foreign currency collections. Organized for the purpose of interesting men in particular pha- ses of California natural resourc- es, the Forestry Club has been successful in achieving this end. The organization has extended its whole-hearted cooperation in the movement for beautifying the college campus. A new Young Men's Christian Association with Dean Turner, president, was reorganized dur- ing the spring semester to pro- mote good will and a spirit of Christian fellowship on the cam- pus. BUCCANEER - 193 7 The Partheneia, organized for the avowed purpose of further- ing interest in dancing, has won an important place among cam- pus societies. It yearly sponsors the spring dance pageant and as- sists in presenting social dancing, assembly programs and the opera. The Engineers' club exists for the purpose of promoting high ideals and standards of the pro- fession among students who are interested in engineering. Important among the activi- ties of the year were visits to the University of California Engin- eers' open house in Berkeley and Don Pedro dam. An inspec- tion was also made of Port Stock- ton. The outstanding activities of the Art Club during its successful 1936-1937 season can be divided into three distinct groups-Seb vice, social and education. Led by Presidents Rose Web- ster and Althea Parrish, the club held many social gatherings, the outstanding event-the big Hal- lowe'en party. The organization has promoted interest in the field of art with exhibits of drawing and sketches made by local stu- dents. Primarily a society to stimu- late interest in biological sciences the Beta Phi, sponsored by Fred- erick Knorr has also been an active social organization. Presidents Joe Lindsay and Patricia Trott held weeklv meet- ings at which time special pro- grams were presented.

Approximate- ly 400 copies of the black leatherette- covered magazine with its silver letter- ing on the front were sold. In keeping with the purpose of the club, meetings consisted in the reading and criticizing of members' contribu- tions. Twice during the fall semester 59 l l v outside speakers addressed the group on literary subjects. Mr. Stensaas, adviser, stated that students who would otherwise tend to lose all desire to write are enabled to maintain their interest through inter- pretive reading and constructive sug- gestions of submitted material. The year,s activities were headed by Pershing Olson, presidentg Betty Chow, vice-president, and Ida Vincent, secretary-treasurer. Members whose work was published in First the Blade, California college publication containing original writ- ings of undergraduates, were William Nye, Rosalind Odell, Olson, Marie Smith, and Miss Vincent. t Members of the Scribblers Club ' 1937 - TBUCCANEER Dear Mother: ' All's quiet on the San Mateo front!

In the third game of the season, notice was given of a new backfield star, Bounding Billv Irvin at quarter, who piloted the squad to a 13-6 victory over Santa Rosa on the northern city's field. Santa Rosa scored first, in the second quarter, on a pass from the 7- yard stripe. Irvin retaliated with his first drive after Deward Tornell, Mo- desto tackle, recovered a Bear fumble. Wlieim Manoogian intercepted a Rosan pass, the blond quarter promptly took the occasion to add another pay dirt dash to sew up the contest. Like other Modesto adversaries in later games, the Bears unleashed a last- quarter passing attack, which was han- dily broken up by the Pirate secondary. Murphy converted one out of two kicks after touchdown. The blocking of Harry Carlson, Manoogian, and Gray drew praise for the masterly way they cleared the path for Irvin. On Friday, October 16, Modesto won an easy victory from Menlo Junior College. Arden Irey's long kickoif was fumbled, Modesto recovered deep in Menlo territory.

That's what Coach Jack Gardner and his high-geared Pirate cagers did last season, finishing with a clean league slate of twelve wins, no losses, and the NCJCC title. Starting with four Veteran umidg- ets,', Captain Otis Perry, Frank Triano, Charles Mangiaracina, and Nat Mor- ton, bolstered by a freshman sensation, Big Jim Rickert at center, and later by Bob Norman, all-conference for- ward, Gardner moulded a quint that lost but three games out of a long, hard, 26-game grind. ' While the home guard anxiously waited, the Pirates, sparked for the first time by the snappy feeding of Bob Norman, won both their league en- counters by scores of 38-32 and 31-23. In the Hrst brace of home leaguers the Blue and White colors flew high over the Black and Gold of Marin for Coach Jack lectures between halves . . while Triano, Reginato, Jones, Norman, and Crowley listen. in W vnu---lln1llll-llll--nu1ulv-nn1-nn--uu-4nu.-nu-:lil-miln-QTlxn1.ul-un--I welter of players go after a rebound ball in the Black Foxe game . . .

February 5 and 6 saw the Pirates at Menlo, where they won handily 38-20 and 36-29, with the reserves seeing much action. Rickert and Triano were high scorers. 193 7 - '73UccANEE11 As a brief interlude from their gruelling conference schedule, the Pir- ates again tangled with the Broadway Clowns, this time swamping the colored boys completely 32-16. Triano, storm- ing up and down the floor, made 9 points. Back in the conference race again, the Bucs traveled to San Mateo, to ad- minister another of their now famed double drubbings. In the first game, little Charlie Mangiaracina found his eye and sank 15 digits to set Modesto out in front, while teammates Rickert and Triano helped with 10 and 9 re- spectively. The second night, Morton with 12 and Rickert with 11 led the Pirates to a 43 -3 8 win over the Mateans, making it a unanimous Beat Mateou year as far as grid and cage laurels were concerned. Back home for their next-to-last series, the local gang took a pair of close ones from San Francisco's Rams 33-29 and 41-38. In the first game, the lead changed hands six times before the Pirates came out on top. In that tilt, Norman and Morton with 7 each tied for high honors.

Earle's 1937 Pirate track team de- veloped several all-around performers plus a good mile relay team. Modesto,s biggest star was Howard Upton, a freshman, who broke a five- year National Junior College record for the quarter-mile in a dual meet with Sacramento, by running the 440 in 48.4 seconds. Upton's time also shattered the conference record. The blonde star continually won his favorite event, plus doing yeoman work on the relay team and in the broad jump.

The Pirates opened the 1937 season at the annual Long Beach relays. A quarter-mile relay team of Hallstone, John Nelson, Lee and Upton ran third to Pasadena and Los Angeles Junior Colleges. The mile quartet finished fourth, being composed of Bill Weber, Summers, Nelson and Upton. Next week on the MJC oval, the high school all-stars were downed by the Pirate thinclads, 79 to 56. Upton won the quarter in 5 2.6 seconds while a half-mile relay team of Hallstone, Maxwell, Lee and Nelson ran through the two-lap distance in 1:32.6. Two defeats at the hands of pow- erful opponents followed. San Mateo came to Modesto, and went home, a 76 to 46 victor. On the following Tuesday, the Pirates met the Califor- nia Freshmen at Berkeley, and finished on the short end of a 76 to 46 score.

Joe McNabb set a new track record by running the half mile in 2:O2.8. A dull meet in which the Pirates lost to the Stanford Freshmen by a 67 to 55 score, was followed a week later by the record-breaking perform- ance of Upton at Sacramento against the Panthers. Bob Maxwell followed in third position in the fast time of 49.9 seconds. Sazcramento Won the meet easily, 80 to 42. Lawrence got off a 185-foot javelin toss to place second. Upton, Hallstone and Lee swept the 220. The Conference Meet at Marin clos- ed the regular season with MIC getting third behind Sacramento and San Ma- teo respectively. Upton won the quar- ter easily in 50 seconds flat. Jimmy Hallstone ran second to Ellison of San Mateo in both sprints. Lawrence brought the javelin championship back to Modesto when he unloosed a mighty 192-foot toss. The relay trophy came to Modesto when Lee, Summers, Maxwell and Up- ton ran away from San Mateo to win in 4 minutes, 26 seconds. Rickert took second in the discus with a toss of 132 feet. The Pirate relay team closed the season by competing in the Fresno re- lays. 74 we SW' Baseball Captain Dwight Moore MODESTO JUNIOR COLLEGE base- ballers, failing to uphold their position as champions of NCJCC competition for the first time in five years, ended their season in second place.

Bythis time the steady work of Moundsmen Ward Samuelson, Joe Ruddy, and Marvin Lee and the sensa- tional hitting of Ralph Polidoro, a .630 clouter, were winning factors for Mo- desto. Away from home, the Pirates split witl1 Marin on their second-round games, winning the first 4-2 and losing the seven-inning nightcap S-0. Still with a chance at the title, they traveled to Santa Rosa and lost in error-filled games by 8-5 and 10-2 counts. Considered out of the running, Gardner's nine then administered a double trouncing to Sacramentois Pan- thers, 6-3 and 3-2 in two tight contests.
