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

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
