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. Soclerstrom

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
