1 former eamen The OCC Alumni Association was formerly organized in June of 1951. The officers of the first two years were Don Knipp, president; Ann Hruza, secretary; and Bill Hay, treasurer. The graduating class asked Miss Raef to be the faculty advisor. In December of 1952, Bill Hay succeeded to the presidency; Robbie Fiero Schoonover, secretary; and Donald Hall, treasurer. The holiday meeting (Dec. 1953) which was held at the Golden Drumstick in Long Beach saw the presidency transfer to Alice Armantrout; secretary to Virginia Studu; and office of treasurer pass to Roy Hein. The Executive Council has been very helpful, composed of repre- sentatives from the various classes. It includes Mary Jane Gallen, Dorthye Millet, Peter Liszt, Grace Borgeson, Margie Archer, Carlton Mears, Bill Hay, and Jim Hensley. Social Chairman for the first three years was Alice Armantrout. The job is now handled by Herb Dyer. Annual activities include: Beach Party in June, Home Coming, Holiday Dinner-Dance, Pirates Day Return, and Pot Luck Dinner-Beaux Arts Ball. The news letter helps us keep in touch with one another and is a monthly feature. Rose Heyen is our present editor-in-chief. We are particularly proud of our annual scholarship to a returning OCC seaman and hope that it will grow with our organization. We appreciate the work of Miss Raef, Dr. Peterson, and Mr. Kimes, without whose assistance we could not hove existed. ALICE ARMANTROUT President Taming the Mutineers I. Hensiey. B. Hein. C. Mears.

cJLoa i joeman 6 :w. edduae 9 ' By the time a log has reached the final stages of completion, any skipper has a lot of things he wants to say and clear up in his mind, so here goes . . . No log is easy to put out — don ' t be fooled! It ' s about 90% perspira- tion and 10% inspiration. (Noticed any grey hairs lately?) If you ' ve pla nned right and persevered in the preparation, you have something when you ' re done you can be proud of, and present for the seaman ' s approval and acceptance. It means you ' ve put in long hours, pounded sidewalks for ads, pasted pictures till you ' re blue in the face, and scrounged for copy till your fingers are down to the nub. But all the while you ' re staying up until the small hours, trying to put the thing together to meet this or that deadline; you ' re warmed by the thought you aren ' t alone. One person couldn ' t do it alone. Without Chief Bushy ' s help, con- sideration, and technical knowledge, this seafarers ' log could not exist. It takes the mates, engineers, stewards, purser, and all able-bodied seamen involved, pulling together, each doing his part, to make the project a success. Therefore, at this time, I wont to thank you, Mates — my entire staff — for standing behind me and sticking with it. No matter how much we believe in things, we always reach that point when everything seems static and we want to throw up our hands in despair and say Here . . . take it! But . . . Thanks for standing by. Though hard work, it was fun and we ' ve come out with something to give you, Mr., Miss, or Mrs. Collegiate — -THE LOG of ' 54. We give it humbly and with the hope that it will remind you of the wonderful voyage we made together and the friends we made. You are, many of you, setting out on a different trip now — to Conquer the Mystery of Success and Happiness. Bon Voyage . . .
