Occidental College - La Encina Yearbook (Los Angeles, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 214 of the 1949 volume:

LA ENCINA 1949 OCCID This is the story of Occidental College from Fall 1948 through Spring of 1949. This was a year both spectacular and beneficial for the college. A new expansion program under way, a football team so able that it received nationwide acclaim, the year that snow fell at Occidental — 1949 — your year. ENTAL 1948-1949 THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED mm ii-M ' ' ' TO YOU THE STUDENT REGISTRATION Registration, in the early antnni, transformed the canipns of the preceding snninier into an organized nnit. Oxy came to life in the form of writers cramp, endless forms, and hours of concentrated planning. It seemed as if long lines were instirniountable as we stood waiting to consult our advisors and hurried around in an attempt not to be excluded from a class we especially wanted. Here in the opening scenes of the college year the student soon learns that Dean Cully, Miss Brady, Dean Fitch, and Dr. Coons are those people who will most directly influence their college careers. The problems of the men of Oxy were brought before Dean Culley who helped hi their sohition. In addition to his caiiaoity as a counselor he evidenced a keen interest in athletics and was often discovered, when not in his office, in the men ' s gym or on the athletic field. To all Occidental students Dean Culley could be relied on most for helpful, to the point advice. Dean Benjamin Culley Diiriiip registration and there- after Miss Brady was one of those administrators who was constantly bnsy answering (jnestions and ap- proving programs. As registrar of the college she had a job which re- qnired much time and ability as she had to try to please both students and faculty in arranging class sched- ules. Students discovered in their contacts with her that she could al- ways be relied upon for sound and judicious advice. Miss Smithies amazed the Momen of the college with her efficiency and ahility to deal with any type of prohlem. Each student felt that she had a j:ennine in- terest in her as an individual. Her office, which was encourajiing for relaxed dis- cussion, was seldom vacant during the dav. Dean Elsie Mav Smithies The president of llie college, Dr. Coons, represented Occi- dental to other colleges and to the rest of the country. When he was not on campus he could usually be found at some place 3000 miles away representing Occidental to outside organiza- tions. Although Dr. Coons was concerned mainly with rep- resenting the college, he also showed a deep interest in the students — providing them with special opportunities to meet and hear distinguished outsiders, such as the lecture series presented by Justice Douglas. His dignified, cordial manner was present in many college affairs.   , . Pres. Arlliur G. Coons Dr. Robert E. Filch Dr. Fitch who served as Dean of the Faciihy was looked up to by the student body both for his ability as an adminis- trator and as the possessor of an incisive intellect. All students who came in con- tact with Dr. Fitch, whether for cutting assemblies or for personal guidance, soon found that here was a source of advice and help which could be relied upon throughout their entire college career. Dr. Coons entertains guest. a ' • Miss Craegar, who throughout the year manages student affairs, must be given an appreciative thank you for her well tiniefl and kindly advice which more than partially aided in the pub- lishing of this book. Without her aid it would be difficult indeed for La Encina to come out satisfac- torily. Throughout the year all of its problems are (|uickly solved by her know how in handling problems. Ruish hour at tlii ' l)ook store. A familiar scene to all Oxv student Assisting ill the scholarly aii«l everyday needs of the student was the hookstore, managed by Miss Craegar. New students soon learn that the hookstore and post office are the busiest points of activity over the entire campus.

Tliroiighoiit our entire college career the ad- ministrators work behind the scenes in keeping Occidental College on a sound and healthful footing. The debt of gratitude owed to these who do so much for Oxy i s never adequately voiced; too much praise could never be given for those who have worked so hard in the past, and look forward to our future and the future of Occidental.

Wrapped in anything from old army ponchos to blankets, the dude-ranchers-for-a-day sat on the log rail fence enjoying the antics of the braver of our number who entered the various steer riding, calf-roping, and other contests requiring the necessary movement in order to keep warm. When the last steer had thrown its rider into a shallow grave, the crowd (juickly made its way toward the source of the wonderful aroma of cooked beef. The evening ' s entertainment consisted of community singing, as well as individual performances. Local talent included zither playing, soft shoe shuffling, and many other acts which were climaxed by the renderings of the energetic combo. Also at this time, prizes to the winners of the contests of the day were given; and at the end of the evening, tired but pleased Oxyites again gave the Chillcots a thank you for another luiforgettable barbeque. nm fj a A.M.S.

Mr. Swift ' s sixth hour oils class DANCE CONCERT Long hours of work by Mrs. Pat White, lead dancer Mark May, student Director Paid Moser, and the cast, proved worth-while in the presentation of the annual dance program put on by the dance group. Conscientious practice and preparation culminated in a striking and fresh performance which was well accepted by those who attended. The program varied from a somber mood as set by Mark May ' s dance, to the humorous number in which Margaret Lynn all but ' stole the show .

Becoming a iiieniljer of the Alpha Lanilida chapter of Alpha Phi Gamma, national honorary journalism fraternity, is the highest honor a student can receive in journalism at Occidental. Memhership is hased on scholastic standing and contrihutions to journal- ism on the Occidental campus. Memhers of this group are responsihle for the publica- tion of the Student Handbook which is distributed to all incoming students at the begin- ning of the year. Another side of Occidental ' s interest in letters is represented by the Laurean Literary Society, an invitational honorary group under the sponsorship of the Department of Eng- lish. The purpose of the Society is to promote an active interest in literature among women students. This purpose is achieved through the presentation of outside speakers and stu- dent or faculty led discussions. The generaltheme for this year was Understanding The Nations Through Literature.

The A Capella Choir The A Capella group found themselves quite busy throughout the year with numerous performances. They gave a performance for the Long Beach American Association of University Women at Christmas, and also participated in the presentation of the Mes- siah ' which was given in Thorne hall in December. At Easter they Ijresented Beethoven ' s Ninth Symphony along with the choirs of several other schools. Our choir sang the choral at the end of the fourth movement. The Philharmonic orchestra with Alfred Wallen- stein conducting accompanied the choirs in this program. At the organ in Thorne Hall. Sigma Alpha lola Music Fraternity Boasting an increasingly active chapter, S.A.I, enjoyed extensive growth and activity this year. The Occidental chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, an international music fraternity for vomen, is Alpha Omicron. The outstand- ing event of the year was the visit to the cam- pus of Mrs. Kathleen Davidson, national presi- dent of Sigma Alpha Iota. S.A.I, sponsored Inter-Sorority Sing, and presented an Ameri- can Musicale and its annual assemhly pro- gram. The appearance of Miss Marion Anderson on the Thorne Hall Stage highlighted the Art- ist Series at Occidental. Thorne Hall saw one of the largest crowds in its history at her re- cital. Tickets to the show were almost impos- sihle to obtain hut Miss Anderson ' s perform- ance that the long lines and hours of waiting were well spent. IVIiss Marion Anderson Under the expert direction of their leader, Howard Swan, this year the Occi- dental Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs completed a busy and eventful season. The fall semester Mas highlighted by the participation of the groups in the annual International Folk Dance Festival which was held in the Los Angeles Philhar- monic Auditorium. Between semesters 40 selected members from both Glee Clubs went on tour, presenting concerts in California, Ne- vada, and as far east as Salt Lake City, Utah. This year ' s tra- ditional Glee Club Home Concert was given March 31 and April 1 and 2 in Thorne Hall, each time before a full house, and featured Down in the Valley , An American folk opera by Kurt Weill. Members of the groups also took part, with other Southern California schools, in the annual Intercollegiate Glee Club Festival at Redlands late in the spring semester. Besides these major events the two clubs are regularly scheduled for num- erous appearances on campus as well as giving many pro- grams for schools, churches, and other organizations. Men ' s Glee Club at Practice Occidental Symphony Orchestra The Symphony Orchestra played a very iniporlant part in the presentation of HandePs Christmas Oratorio The Mes- siah , which was one of the most outstanding events during the semester. The Oxy band, present at all football games, had a large part in bringing the Tigers victory. Credit goes to Irvin Rymes, band manager, for working out the novelty band formations, which were made even more effective by the new uniforms.

There are few words which can express the countless jobs performed during the year, to bring to the students a book of which every one would be proud. The staff introduced into the book many new and revolutionary ideas. Most of these new plans took shape and were completed. Many failed or were not successful but we feel that this year something new and fresh has been given to La Encina of Occidental College.

Before the blocked kick Santa Barbara had enjoyed a 7-0 lead, thanks to various and assorted Occi- dental fumbles. Finally, late in the third quarter, the Tigers manufactured a touclnloMn to come from behind and take the lead, 8-7. The scoring play was a short pass from Joe Johnson to end Bol) Levin, the latter diving into the end zone as he took the ball over his shoulder. Statistically it wasn ' t even a contest.

It was an inspired gang of Tigers that took the field against Whittier at the Poets ' home- coming and it was a happy hunch of Bengals that left the gridiron with a 20-6 win stuck under their belts. The whole Oxy team and particularly the forward wall played a viciously mean game — hut it was football at its best. On their very first drive the Bengals, aided greatly by Bob IngersolFs bull-like rushes, powered 70 yards to score. Trump cracked over from four yards out. Bob Chilcott recovered a fumble, Sanders zipped 14 yards to the Whittier five, and then Joe Johnson faking beautifully, sneaked around right end and followed John Andrews into the end zone.

Oxy scored early, Chilcott blocking a Tech punt and John Trump sailing 40 yards around right end on the Tigers ' first play from scrimmage. Cal Tech took a short-lived 7-6 lead, but the Johnson to Le in pass combo pulled Oxy out of the hole as Joe hit Bob Mith a shortie over center and Levin swifted 68 yards to score. After recess the Tigers pulled themselves together and put on a scoring drive, Hugh Tassey booming over from the three.

Things began to change in the third quarter. Small Johnny Sanders sparked a drive and finally hedge-hopped into the end zone. Then line-backer Tom Bushey intercepted a Bulldog pass, lateraled to fel- low line-backer Leo Arranga, who wound up on the Red- lands 20. From there Joe Johnson flipped to Bob Levin in the end zone. A little later Bushey captured another stray ariel, and again Johnson passed into the end zone — this time to John Campbell.

' ' , A nild throng of 10,000 persons watched the 1948 Occidental foothall team roll to its first Conference championship since 1929 and its first undefeated season since 1916. The spirited Bengals crushed a confident Pomona crew 14-0 and stayed among the few undefeated college teams in the nation. Things looked dark in the first quarter, hut llie Bengals smashed two dangerous Sagehen drives. Then in the seconil perioti Johnson floated a pass to Johnny Trump, who grahhed it, eluded a Pomona defender and Hashed into the end zone. In the second half Oxy ' s endless bevy of hacks began to wear down the enemy defenses. Oxy launched a drive with rapid Robt. Frieze galloping for 15 yards, then Johnson threw a strike to Loin on the two and Frieze bounced off tackle for the score. Steve Smith booted both extra points to run his consecutive string to a total of nine. The Tigers did it the hard way. They were definite underdog s, and during the first half they looked the part. They trailed 13-0 at half time, but they fought all the harder and took a 14-13 lead in the last quarter only to lose it again 20-14. An ordinary team would have fallen apart long before, but this was far from an ordinary team. Incredibly . . . almost unbelievably, they came back once more, tied the score, and then with deadly determination they all personally helped nudge the ball over the crossbar to score that single point that meant so much. It took a while to sink in, but it was won- derfully true. Occidental had won the Raisin Bowl, beating Colorado A. M. 21-20. Not only that, Oxy had completed its first un- beaten season in college history (since 1895) ; Oxy remained the only college team on the coast with a clean record ; and Oxy was the only western representative to win a bowl game. Enough cannot be said al)out the Tigers ' defensive line play. Such players as Bud In- gersoU, Bill Pearson, Bob Chilcott and the three line backers: Vic Cuccia, Leo Arranaga and Tom Bushey, were the real powers behind the throne, in this and all other games. And last but not least, we sound a tribute to one of the top defensive halfbacks on the coast — Garth Carter. Top: Student special to Raisin Bowl. Middle: End of the line.

Handicapped by an extremely small turnout plus injuries to several key players, Coach Payton Jordan nevertheless welded a fiery high spirited freshman football team which finished the season with a record of three wins, two ties and one loss. The victories were scored over f rosh squads from Cal Tech, Redlands and Whittier and the two ties with Pierce and Citrus Junior Colleges. The lone loss was to the champion Pomona Sagechicks. The Kittens were led by co-captains Phil Schlegel and Fred Boice. Bobinette rambles against Pomona SEASON RECORD Oxv Frosli 19 Pierce J.

The Tigers finished second, behind Loyola, in the College Water Polo Conference, a league which also includes U.S.C. Frosh, U.C.L.A. Frosh, and Cal. Tech. Superb come-back ability, the distinguishing mark of a real team, was flashed in the season ' s last game, when at the end of the first half Oxy trailed Muir College, 6-3.

The Alphas were also proud of Carolyn Johnson, who reigned as Homecoming Queen. In a thrilling, suspense-packed foothall game with the Gammas, the score climbed to 0-0. A nioi-al victory trophy was awarded the Alphas by their spirited sponsors, the Kappa Sigs.

At the first of the year the five dorms held open house for parents and friends. Teas were also held in the three large residence halls once each week in the afternoon after classes. Everyone was invited to drop in and visit over refreshments at this time. An- other dorm activity which occurred frequently was the regular house meetings. At these gath- erings, problems of importance to all resi- dents were discussed, and social functions were planned. Taking a walk down any corridor in any hall during an average school day, one could find a wide variety of poses and situations in dorm life knitting, eating, reading, telephon- ing, just talking. Bull sessions with cokes ' and crackers, and birthday parties with cake and ice cream helped to break the monotony of homework in the evenings. Miss Marian Anderson at reception. Desserts, exchange dinners. Residence Council meetings, parties and other activities filled most of the social calendar in the dormitories.

After a great deal of work and prepara- tion, Haines won the cup for the best decorated women ' s dormitory. Typical of every dorm were the spreads ' and Sunday morning breakfasts which were enjoyed in an intimate atmosphere. The freshmen women of the small houses, Armadale and La Casa, found these times especially good for becoming acquainted and for helping to orientate themselves to college life.

They swamped Cal Tech 63-41 in mid-season and later cooled Redlands, the Conference rnnner- np, 67-56. As nsiial Conference games were char- acterized by extremely close scores, but this season Oxy was consistently on the meager end, losing four leagne games by less than five points. The Bengal record for the entire season was 12 games won and 16 lost. Oxy placed two players on the ten man all-conference team. Swift Gene Haas, the league ' s top scorer with 141 points for ten games, was awarded a forward berth, and scoop-shooting Dick Jackson landed a guard position. Jackson was number five man on the Conference scoring tally with 87 points. Captain-forward Bob Olson, gnard Ray Crandall, and center Jim Tnnney completed the Tiger front line.

GYMNASTICS The varsity Gymnastic team regained much of its pre-war status in its 1949 season, climaxing a full schedule of eight dual and three AAU meets with entries in the National Collegiate Championships at Berkeley. The peak of the season ' s success came with the garnering of second place, trailing only L.A. City College, in the Metropol itan AAU meet, a competition attracting the top teams in the Southland. Outstanding among individual competitors were William Tom and John Muir, who consistently hrought Oxy ' s name to the fore with their perform- ances on the side horse, long horse and in the free exercise and all-around events. Tom and Muir were second and third respectively in the Metro AAU all- around championship. Other strong contributors to the 1949 team were Ted Calderone in the parallel bars, long horse and high bar events; Gene Peterson in the parallel bars; Paul Jacobs in the free exercise and tumbling; Ralph Wuerker in the side horse; Maynard Morvay in the free exercise; Ross Williams in the rings; and Glenn Sink in tumbling.

Women P.E. ma- jors officiated during the year at sports con- tests in high schools in surrounding areas. The Woman ' s Recreational Association provided practical prohlems and complete coverage of all women ' s sports for these majors. The highlight of the year came during the warm days of the sjiring semester when on May Day the women presented their skills in a program which offered oppor- tunities in many sports.

Occidental students have seen some fine play perform- ances this year. Two main stage productions have been presented, the first of which was Star Wagon starring John Ingle, Eleanor Prosser, and Paul Faranda. This play was staged on many different levels, each of which portrayed a different locale in the play. The sets were kept simple and offered only a suggestion of atmosphere to the audience. Although no props were used, the audience had little difficulty in following the action. The Father however, was just the op- posite. Occidental has seldom seen a more realistic and artistic set used in a main stage production. Miss Perkins and Ruth Ann Jor- dan must he highly complimented for their imagination and artistic ability in designing these excellent sets. Marilyn Crites and Marc May turned in some of the best performances of the year playing the leading roles in The Father , a psychological drama quite different from the type of play usually performed in college theatres. For the Shakespearian festival held in May, Eleanor Prosser and John Ingle portrayed the leading roles in Taming of the Shrew . The cast included many of the notables of the drama department. Scene from Star Wagon The Playmill iiroductions held in Thome 8 brought some new and fresh forms to Occidental. These were evidenced in the central staging of Susan and God and a play reading of Anton Chekov ' s The Seagull . Other presentations in- cluded The Importance of Being Earnest , Antigone , and Tartuffe (or The Imposter ). Oxy students awoke one morning this winter to find themselves standing open mouthed gaz- ing out upon a strange sight — Occidental col- lege covered by a blanket of snow. Cold, and very real, snow lay over the campus for a full day, which resulted in a wild frenzied burst of activities. Skis, snow clothes, empty classes, red noses and ears could everywhere be seen amidst a constant barrage of snowballs which filled the air. Scenes never to be forgotten in sunny California are here presented as our proof positive to unbelieving ears in years to come. A not so familiar scene Classes on this morning were not too well populated Cheesecake a-la faculty style A tamale dinner followed with skits by the different classes was a perfect combination for the A.W.S. ' Hi Jinks . Ruth Woolever, mistress of ceremonies, was kept busy between such things as an animated solar eclipse and James Thurber ' s The Night the Bed Feir% but the faculty finally appeared ' mid swirls of Buttons and Bows to prove that they could still steal the show.

An eight page tabloid, made possible by the support of national advertising, replaced the customary four page edition. The inclusion of the men ' ' s and women ' s dormitories and the off campus men and women in the society column also formed a part of the new policy, developed under the direction of editor Bob Allen and managing editor Joanne Lockwood.

Various possi- bilities, involving different com- binations of runners were avail- able including such swifties as Ted Ruprecht, Fran Katchaturian, Chuck Kanianski, Bill Cotrel, Les Lee, Jack Savage and Bill Parker. The Inevitable Result ■K Ej jB Cliuck Schlegel Francis Kalohaturian Bill Pearson Their fourth straight conference championship was the goal set for this year ' s Occidental track team — ami when La Encina went to press the Tigers were well on their way toward fulfilling that aim. After losing to USC, Oxy proceeded to mow down Santa Barhara, Cal Poly, Red lands and Whittier, in addition to captur- ing the Conference Relays title. Only Pomona looked capahle of interfering with plans for the league championship. Eyeing individual conference honors were such Tiger stalwarts as high jump record holder Gene Doty; quarter miler Bill Parker, who was expected to shave his conference record of 48.6; miler Les Lee; 880 man Bill Cotrel; and pole vaulter Pete Berokoff. Sprint stars Fran Katcheturian and Ted Ru- preclit perpetually gave good ac- count of themselves and hoth w ere capable of stretching their speed over a quarter mile to strengthen Oxy ' s hand in the mile relay. Tiger hurdlers Jack Strom, Chuck Schlegel and Sam McClung took turns heating each other, hut it was generally conceded that one of them would come through with either or both of the loop hurdle crowns.

John Barnes, Kilo Rios, Tom Draper, Don Condit Coach Payton Jordan fielde l one of the most powerful freshman track teams in Occidental ' s long history when he unveiled the 1949 yearliiiii scpiad. Although they were decisively beaten by the USC frosh the Oxy yearlings ran wild in conference com- petition scoring more than 100 points in both the Redlands and Whittier meets. John Barnes swifted a 1:56.5 880 against SC to crack the eleven-year-old Oxy record in that event. Rito Rios ranked as one of the best two milers in the conference, varsity or frosh, consistently running the distance in slightly over ten minutes. Other standout performers for the frosh included: hurd- ler-high jumper Hal Dennis; shot putter Don Ole- son; Doug Martin in the discus, sprints and broad jump; and Neil Bradley in the javelin.

Before La Eneina deadline time the Bengals had mauled Chapman College twice, beaten both Cal Poly of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly of San Dimas, and trounced Glendale. In league games they were nipped 9-8 in the last inning by Whittier, and lost to Redlands 6-3, as J. V. Waters, ace Bulldog pitcher, fashioned a one-hitter. The bulk of Oxy ' s pitching chores fell on the shonlders of Fred Schultz antl Ralph Sturdevant. Last year ' s mainstay hurler Jack Stuckeman suf- fered most of the season from a sore arm. The Tiger ' s hitting brigade was led by Doug McKenzie, Bill Rhinehardt, Lody Galassi and Lyle Lee, all of whom were well over the .300 mark.

Even though they sometimes hatl trouble rounding up nine full-time players. Oxy ' s freshman baseball squad en- joved a highly successful season. Under the leadership of former varsity star, Ray McLean, the Tiger yearlings hail definite aspirations in the direction of a conference championship. The Tiger-babes beat Torrance (twice), Glendale Hoov- er and North Hollywood High Schools and subdued league foes Whittier and Redlands. The pitching staff was led by Phil Shafer, who also doubled as a utility infielder when he wasn ' t hurling. Other flingers were Bob Ashford and John Cartwright, while the main power at the plate was furnished by Shafer and Doug Hawkes. Bob Lazzarini pounds one out. Top Row: Ledbetter. Escobar.

The mixers formed ex- cellent opportunities for men and women students of Oxy to get ac- quainted in an informal manner. Typical to the mixers were the usual endless stag lines and the male scouts who wander about trying to spy some favorite female who at the moment is in someone else ' s arms. A typical scene in Occi- denlar popular Titier Cooler revealed students relaxing betAveen classes and chatting about current events on campus. At lunclitinie the Cooler was a favorite gathering place for hungry off-campus stu- dents Mhile in the evening it offered a welcome respite from everpresent home- work. The Student Union pro- vided ' ' healthful and ap- petizing meals three times a day for residents. Espe- cially popular with stu- dents were those candle- light dinners before Christ- mas, Thanksgiving, and other special occasions. • ,. o e, The best time of the day.

SENIORS Class Day, with the traditional i y chain procession, made seniors realize that four years of college life were coming to a close. Marching up to Thorne in cap and gown brought memories of long past assembly days, the dash to lunch on Thursdays, and hours spent sitting in the (juad. The customary speeches and class prophecy in Thorne were followed by the traditional tree planting ceremony and dedication of the class pla([ue on campus. These cap and gown days filled the senior class with excited anticipation that at last the long sought goal of graduation was near at hand.

At last the greatest nioiiieiit arrives. The last four years have seen us both cry and laugh. Through thousands of words, hundreds of pages, papers, notebooks, endless flights of stairs, assemblies, cooler dates, cool evenings and hot unbearable days, smiles, football games, handshakes, and comprehensives; at last we hear the serious voice which booms out our names clearly through Thorne Hall. With an inexpressible feeling we walk up to receive that long coveted roll. No, it is not very heavy. The feeling that here, in a simple roll of paper, lies the combined efforts of innumerable people and four years of our lives is hard to realize. But even more important and still more pleasant, is our realization that here, inside us, there is a deep satisfaction that we have enriched our personalities, our minds, and our abilities to work with others in a true christian spirit; and that now we are better suited to face the task of living a full and enjoyable life in whatever field we have chosen.
