I I i ' LAWNSCAPE A FRONTISPIECE By FRANCES FRICKAAAN T E Q U E S E S Q U I T E Riverside College Riverside, California 1953 Jy den tit WE DON ' T like to preach. But we have chosen Preservation of Identity As a theme for this book Because it is a great privilege In a great nation To remain an individual Regardless of the old saying That strength lies in numbers. Every time we look around the campus Through the eyes of the camera V e spot a student Being charmingly— Sometimes alarmingly— An individual with an identity. You might even say that there Are characters About the premises. QUEEN— Queen Joanne Royer, who emerged by popular vote to reign during Homecoming, is a comely example of individu- ality at its most fetching. Nice to be able to take off your shoes and rest a while after a hard tussle with the books. That ' s preserving one ' s identity, too. A LETTER HOAAE-Hussein Abu Middain, born in Palestine, moved to Cairo, Egypt, in 1948. Three years later he came to Riverside College to begin his studies of agricultural engineering. This photograph presents Hussein writing a letter to his mother. It is a wonderful experience, Hussein has written, to be received as a member of the group yet to remain an individual with so many friendly rights and privileges. YANKEES AGAIN— World Series time and a group of friends in the Pit. Toss in a radio, a few cokes, a nnilkshake or two, the latest copy of the Tiger Times, and a little gossip. Mix well and you come up with conviviality. Left to right around the table: Helen Taylor, Ginger Gilliand, Bill Thomason, Bill Moody, Bob Seets, Frank Van Hee, Bob Plancia, Bill Knight, and Daisy Emerson. .rf am ipud THIS IS THE quadrangle at noontime of a sunny day— almost any day— as seen from the west corridor. The photograph v as taken during the late fall as you can tell by the thick scattering of leaves from the cottonwood trees that shade the benches by the sun dial. The photographer took two pictures, moving the camera a little to take in the full scene. We split th e stone pillar and patched the two studies together. In the section below Cos- metology students Cornelius Bosma and Bob Mays chat with Lynn Iseda in the foreground. ■fc - ' . --. ; ■ ' . Sc cene SOUTH SIDE of the Quad, shown below, carries the most traffic. This is natural, of course, because the stairway to the Pit and to the Tiger ' s Den food lines take off from there. Also the southwest portion forms the newest addition to the buildings— the section that completed the Quadrangle. Under and near the oak that casts the long shadow are perched the usual between-class gang. In the center, Instructor James Haslam holds an informal conference with George Freeman and Don McCarty. Diana Sweet is in right foreground. COMMENT IN PASSING-Miaxme Clnnstenbon, Marjorie Stevens, and Dolores Blaskowsky pause to exchange observations near the Sun Dial. The photographer could catch every member of the student body on this bench at one time or another if he had the patience and the film. . It ' s a fine place to tarry enroute to the Library. IDENTITIES EMERGE— For emergence and development of identities the most popular spot on the campus between classes is the landing above the steps that lead into the Pit and thence to the savory confines of the Tiger ' s Den. Naturally, the. cast of players changes every iew minutes. We ' ll try to name a iew of the Quad Vi ranglers on hand when this photograph was taken on a sunny morning in December: Upper corridor, left to right, the leaners-on include Sylvia Knittle, Don Miller, Chuck Machado, Shirleen Massey, Fleming Smith, instructor; Jimmy Williams, Helen Taylor and Kathy Mansfield. Recog- nizable in foreground, left to right, are: Jerome Alopari, Pancho Gonzalez, Billy Thomason, Bob Porter, Bill Moody, Pat Fair, Willa Thompson and Lynn Shorey. .ArdSemblu an d R. treat COMFORTABLE AND PLEASANT are both library and auditorium winere the show goes on day in and day out. We selected these pictures just for contrast. The gal with the book and the smiling eyes, about to add to her vocabulary, is Joan RadlofT. Mob scene below, very much a part of campus life, presents a typical rally assembly to arouse enthusiasm for a forthcoming game. Left to righters more or less prominent in the first row are Lynn Shorey, Margie England, Jackie Lewis, Beverly Eckhardt, Diane Chap- man, Art Chapman, Margie Ruvald and Betty Byrd. CHATTER— Whoever was far-sighted enough to provide plenty of benches on the Quad would be happy to know that people stand on them and perch above them and generally enjoy the between-class comfort and conviviality which the benches produce. Jackie Lewis, Joanne Darsey and Instructor Mark Walton, left to right, are in the center. S unsk unSnine an d nadi ow HEAVE HOI-Sometimes it takes pull to get anywhere. Freshman-Sophomore tug of war was one of innumerable stunts of the year. Man with hand in pocket is Dean Ralph Bradshaw. The photographer kept a safe distance, so we ' ll let you try to name the others. Incidentally, the rope broke before the issue was settled. 10 li a l Unite ONE MORNING while the photographer was strolling across the campus he stopped to take a picture of Amanda Brose who was studying, or writing a letter, or just taking in the scene. When Miss Brose looked up, there was a click, and the deed was done. Some day her own children can haul out the annual and say, There ' s Mother. There is another basic purpose in the picture, too. It was taken to prove just how comfortable and friendly the Quad can be, particularly on a sunny morning. Somehow it is nice to know that there aren ' t any signs around which say, Keep Off the Grass. I n c uacl BULL SESSION-Yes, it looked about like this every day of the Vi eek at the bench line above the Pit. We seem to recognize Sandra LaFave, Carol Lee, Barbara Cum- mings, Don Edson, Bob Plancia, Herman Trumper and Chuck Wroot. LET ' S GET IT RIGHT— Smaller classes permit plenty of personal contact with instructors. This seemingly engrossed quartet paying attention to Instructor Lawrence Larson, left to right are: Barry Gustafson, Arden Adams, Neil McClain, and Rodger Bauer. ywpipti pp. Hi icauon YOU ARE NOW entering upon the faculty section of this book. We have taken the liberty of changing things around a bit this year and thoroughly mixing student and instructors. In fact we counted 78 students in the faculty section. Once again every effort has been made to catch the faculty more or less off guard, or in natural poses. One of the most natural places to find a faculty member, of course, is in the classroom, and we barged in on several occasions. The gentleman at your left with the sly, quizzical and altogether good natured look is Harry Danger- field, keeper of the bookstore and jolly good fellow. He is decidedly an individual. His teaching is done by example, and it ' s good stuff. p. reparauon ?p hi THE GOOD INSTRUCTOR also prepares his lessons for the day- witness M. R. Mackenzie and Cecil Stalder. In the two panels below the larger class is one in Spanish taught by Dorothy Kincell. The smaller group pays heed to French as presented by Mark Walton. Spanish students, first row, left to right, are: Mike Barnhart, Renee Beatty, Laura Brewer, Charles BufFington, Bill Chambliss, Ginger Gilliand, and Rosalie Inwood. Second row, I. to r.: Pat Wooley, Darlene White, Dave Yamaguchi, Ruth Stahmer, Marge Ruvald, Dianne Nickerson, and JoAnne Minor. In the French class, first row, I. to r.: Leota Axford, Eleanor Stone, Jackie Lewis, and Martha Buvens; second row, I. to r.: John Wirtanen, Clark Wilson, Tom Chamberlain, and David Halliburton. President Orland W. Noble J ead If 1 Ian THESE TWO PAGES present the administrators and secre- taries whose re ponsibility it is to keep the College well organized, progressive, and functioning smoothly in all departments. The man sitting on the hurdle is President Orland W. Noble who believes in seeking the opinion of faculty members with regard to decisions that will influence the pattern of things to come. He also likes to know what is going on. Accordingly, he visits classes from time to time, attends the games and the dances as well as any number of public affairs. You ' ll see him almost anywhere you look, quite often talking with students. President Noble believes that academic, vocational, and general education must be presented side by side if a College, such as Riverside, is to serve its district to the fullest extent. He runs his office by the open door policy, inviting stu- dents to visit him at any time about any problem, or just to get acquainted. Deans Frances Fraser and Ralph Bradshaw, in addition to their teaching, spend a good share of their time in guidance work or in assisting students with their varied programs. Something very intriguing in the book they are consulting below. In left corner is Mrs. Ruth Dow, secretary to the president. 1 :re- and tetj P FOR GOOD NATURE, it is hard to beat Earl A. McDermont, registrar, the man with his hands in his pocket. He is a constant observer of the passing scene, emerging onto the campus on those occasions when he is not conferring with students about their programs, arranging registration and attendance details or just plain teaching history. Registrar Earl A. McDermont Reader of La Prensa is John Ohman, director of the Evening High School and Junior College with office on the campus. The picture was tal en at the mail cubby holes in the main office where the instructors get their orders and receive their daily messages from firms wanting them to buy their books. The College is as active at night as it is in the daytime, but the student body changes. The adults take their turn at the books during the evening hours. You couldn ' t run a College without an efficient clerical staff. Top panel below presents Mrs. Wanda Bode, left; Mrs. Ida Walther, right. Below, left to right, are Alice Smith and Mrs. Batty Breault. L c ti aauoud WHILE SEATED one day at the organ, Music Instructor Don Stone decided he was hungry, so he hied him- self forth to the Tiger ' s Den where the delectable odors of chicken pie were enticing the customers. We ' d best not hurry this thing, said Stone, as he waited for the pie to cool, and meanwhile we ' ll take a peek just to be sure. What did he expect? Blackbirds? Cecil Johnson, new addition to the faculty stable, was preparing his lessons when the photographer took the picture at the left. So engrossed was Johnson that he may not know yet that he served as a camera study in the library. Busir thei there side to til COUIl natu Take Stan Can ndide or yut. . . FOR ALL THE world as if they were taking a curtain call after a most successful production, these four business instructors lean staunchly against the showcase of the salesmanship room. Left to right they are: LeRoy Bucknell, John Hislop, Fleming Smith, and Mrs. Helen E. McGovern. Business department offerings are widely varied, the rooms neat, airy and well furnished, but there are vaster classrooms in which the River- side College students find themselves from time to time — particularly those enrolled in science courses in which instructors take advantage of natural environment and the good weather. Take it from Elmer W. Peck, geology instructor. Southern California, particularly Riverside County, offers the student geologist an unending wonder- land. In the picture at the right Peck points to an out- standing example of some kind located in Box Canyon near Mecca. In case you are an out-of- stater, the shrub in the background is a famous desert smoke tree. :4 ' ¥M- , ,r £. or adu J. St? It ' s a pose when Ken Middleham expresses perplexity about a cam- era. A former Tequesquite editor and head photographer, Middle- ham is bacl one afternoon a week now as instructor of pho- tography. Many of Middleham ' s photographs have appeared in brochures explaining the work- ings of College departments, and there are a few choice samples scattered through this book. In the left hand corner below, James Haslam holds forth in the Chemistry lecture room. Haslam has also taken a leading hand in guidance work. Directly below we find Photographer Barbara Linthicum showing several other members of a photography class how to take Auditor John Newstead by surprise. Guess there must have been another photographer somewhere about. The five men in the background, left to right, are Joe Askew, Robert L. Patton, faculty member; Ernest Robles, Don Weischedel, and Herbert Fechter. The Tequesquite is indebted to Newstead for keeping the books straight and for generally putting the student body on a sound financial basis. aniii I ■nniiiiiii HiMiK; lU facu diffe mos may they c hat cone Ihis, left Phili, Cliff( the I JDemondtrciiion LIKE THIS— At left we find Instructor Archie Twogood demonstrating operation Zu to a physics class.

Aust rJLlhe students IT MAY BE hard to believe, but faculty members are very little difPerent from the students in most respects. In general, they may be a little short on hair, but they ' re long on friendship and chatter, nor does all their talk concern studies. This congenial grouping presents, left to right: Ralph Bradshavi , Philip S. Black, Chester Hess and Clifford Stickney, all members of the English Department. s. ona an d NUMEROUS SOURCES of pleasure and inspiration may be traced directly to the College Music Department staffed by Dr. Edwin Sayre, Evan Vail and Donald Stone. Range is from classical to swing, instrumentally speaking, and from opera to ballad vocally. This year the College band achieved a long ambition. They acquired uniforms. The music department is particularly well equipped and is attracting more and more students from outlying areas. DOWN BEAT— The photograph, upper right, was taken at the football game with Fullerton. It marks Evan Vail Ihe fj st appearance of the band in uniform.

Formal teaching in the classroom is supplemented by both scheduled and random conferences, and some of the problems that are solved are not the onss advanced by the textbooks. Enrollment this year has kept a rather even balance at about 600. All members of the faculty comprise the counselling staff, although a thoroughly organized guidance office is maintained to take care of more involved problems such as determining the best course of study for a particular student to follow— many times based on past performance and the results of testing measures.

Another new field of train- ing is vocational nursing, also prospering under the guidance of Alicia Sayre, instructor.

On February 27, the girls took a few hours off to present an assembly which was later referred to by the student body as one of the hits of the year.

IJ ' J the the But The gam stooi football i p6 and =Jj( r ' ou n3 IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT— This bleacher shot shows a portion of the student turnout for the Fullerton game when Riverside upset the favorite in a game that vjM be long remembered. FOOTBALL IS A GAME in which team play determines the winner. Nevertheless there is no sport in which the merits of the individual are more loudly acclaimed. In football, perhaps more than in any other sport, the individual is under fire from the opening whistle to the sound of the final gun. Football is rough and tough, and the harder the going the greater the wear and tear on men and dispositions. Football is a spectacle— a melodramatic testing of skills, precision and strength, and the crowd loves it that way. But there are moments in the passing scene that surpass the play, and one of them is at the very beginning. The photograph at left, we believe, conveys to an unusual extent the real meaning of football or any other game in which the spirit of competition is high. It was taken when the crowd, players, coaches, and officials stood bareheaded and humble in the presence of the flag that guarantees the right to contest with one another in accordance with rules which encourage the individual in a f ree nation. 27 DRIVE— Linane was a hard man to stop.

OfT to a strong start with non-conference foes, the Tigers ran into heavy trouble in Eastern Conference play as a schedule unfolded that was tougher than the dopesters had thought possible. The season opened with a 12-7 victory over Los Angeles City College, with Tom Linane and Bob Glover showing good form from the tail- back spot. Jimmy Williams gave a preview of events to follow when he scored both touch- downs on line plunges. In the second test, the Bengals again rolled to 12 points as they whitewashed San Diego. For their next encounter Riverside traveled to Salinas to do battle with Hartnell in what proved to be a rough and tumble battle. The Tigers lost 26-12, but tallied two of the four touchdowns scored against Hartnell during the entire season which saw the Salinas team wind up in the Little Rose Bowl game at Pasadena. CONFERENCE PLAY Opening conference game was with Chaffey. The Tigers lined up as favorites but wound up on the short end of a 20-7 score. Again it was Linane who ran up yardage at tailback. After the Chaffey game Riverside slumped to its lowest point of the season, losing to Orange Coast 51-6. The score did not indicate the close- ness of the game, however, since O. C. exploded for 31 of their points in the final quarter. The Tigers never gave up, the final gun finding Coach De Francisco ' s team on the one-yard line. The most stunning upset of the season followed the Orange Coast debacle. Riverside fans ex- pected the worst when the Tigers lined up against undefeated and conference-leading Ful- lerton. In this game the Bengals showed the type of play of which they were capable, win- ning 20-13 in a game that will be ranked among the most exciting in Riverside College records. 28 3. h acL6 an d l aureS The running and passing of Linane, great de- fensive job of Jerry Freeman and Fritz Ledfors, driving plunges by Jim Williams and all-round fight of other Riversiders made the difference. Both during and after the Fullerton game the Tigers looked like a different team. While the winning v as over, they shovy ed a fighting de- termination every time out. The tussle with AAt. San Antonio was a close one, the Mounties winning 14-17. It was here that Richard Cox intercepted a pass and raced The Tigers ' chances to cheer came when Cox and Ledfors engineered a 64-yard drive, and when Don Westbrook intercepted a pass and ran 70 yards to score. Little Everett Reed turned in the game ' s most spectacular play in the second quarter when he met 195-pound Bill Sims head-on, drove him back about three yards and flipped him on his back. into the end zone on a dazzling run down the H HI sidelines. -•- ' W ■ HH B Homecoming game with Santa Ana also was I Bfl l mildly disasterous.

B. team shut out the Tigers 27-0. Riverside started several promising drives that bogged down before crossing the scoring line. It was a credit to Bengal defenders to keep the Indians from scoring more than four T.D. ' s. The season ended with good words for Coach Nate and his assistants and with the promise that next year things will be on the upcllmb. Sportsman- ship on the team was high, crowd reaction enthusiastic, rallies peppy. There ' s more to football than winning games. J ian % ' LEADER-Coach Nate De Fran- cisco gives out with a few words of encouragement at a pep assembly rally. AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED, Riverside ' s victory over Fuller- ton was worth a season of sometimes burdensome Con- ference losses. As the game progressed and It appeared more and more evident that the Tigers were not only holding their own but were well on their way to accomplishing the Impossible, enthusiasm mounted until the stands were In a constant uproar. A dance in the gymnasium was a pleasant antl-cllmax. Need It be said that a good time was had by all— with possible exception of a few bewildered Fullertonltes? AIDS— Coach De Francisco was ably assisted by his staff members and student leaders who helped build enthusiasm. Left to right, Jack Dusek, Paul Roby, De Francisco, Barbara Weaverling, and Voyle Shelton All gam lorrTi - oint PRESSURE ON football coaches can be damaging to the nervous system no doubt, but there are compensations. Coach Nate and his stafF won lasting approval, and the head man increased his popularity on the campus to an even higher point as the result of the Fullerton upset. At right diminutive Dave Yamaguchi is off for a sizeable gain on a double reverse that he found to his liking. Dangerous Dave was always a threat when he got his hands on the ball. .left ALL HAIL— The coach gets a ride vi ithout taxi fare as players and spectators alike swarm the field after the Fullerton game.

PL au6 an ¥ dPL auerd f RIVERSIDE COLLEGE football squad includes from 35 to 40 players, many of whom saw little action apart from the practice field where they were more important than the stars. On this and the following three pages we have attempted to present as many individual shots as possible. Because of the size of the squad and other variables, there may be a face or two missing,- if so, it was not be- cause we didn ' t try to include everybody. t- — - 1 Above, left to right: Pat Little, Don Miller, Chuck Machado, A. J. Sisk, and Earl Topha I ABOUT ALL the public sees of football is the actual play, plus sideline action. Most people wouldn ' t recognize a football player out of uniform. In the two photographs at the bottom of the page we pre- sent a class room candid and another shot that might be titled Saturday Night Bath, probably has something to do with athlete ' s foot. The man with the leopard shirt is Don Weischedel. Other students are Bob Porter and Oren Speir. Tub scene presents Glover, Holmes, Westbrook, Cox, and Tate, around the circle. The football is about to get the worst of it in the photo showing Rex Fli nt, No. 44, in mid-air. S Declal r Most of football, naturally, is preparation for the game. For managers the sport means sorting of soiled uniforms lugging of equipment, and un- corking the liniment. Uniforms are seldom as clean as those worn by the sextet at left, caught by the photog- rapher at an early hour on the practice field. Top panel, left to right: Joe Marquez, Fritz Ledfors, and Bob Gross; bottom panel, George Padgett, Dan Flint and Everett Reed. H., ' LEAPFROG— That ' s Linane hurdling Ernie Robles. OUCH! The shades of night were falling fast when Al Thorson assumed the position of an injured player. Sorry we can ' t report that this is an action picture, but Thorson is better off posing. Holding a foot is Bill Moody, with Bob Porter at the head. Moody and Porter were team managers. J onord ALL-CONFERENCE - Regardless of how many games are won or lost, individual perform- ances are always under close observation. Two Riverside players, Mongo Quesada, de- fensive end, and Jim Williams, fullback, scaled the heights when they were chosen all- conference first team members. Williams is No. 40 and Que- sada, 28. SECOND TEAAA-Tigers honored on the second all-conference lineup were Larry Tate, center; Don West- brook, halfback, and Larry Freeman, guard— left to right at bottom of page.

IN STEP— The Pom Pon girls (that ' s right P-O-N ) are specialists in keeping things lively and high spirited. They work as a team, or as individuals. They appear to work the hardest to keep spirits high when the team is behind— a point of view that has much to be said for it. Left to right: Patfie Hurtz, Darlene White, Betty Jo Sprague, Joanne Royer, Dianne Pettet, and JoAnne Minor. a raanLzauond f hi 36 an d the Jy ndlvlciiJicit ORGANIZATIONS, as far as this book is concerned, are those groupings of leaders or specialists who help to keep the college program well balanced and who provide the extra touches and the services that lend tradition and flavor. In this division you will find the campus politicians and the editors and the special events organizers; you will find the debators and even that highly important and most essential group who do the cooking. Some how or other, regardless of what may befall, via the blue- book, or the bocketbook, the cut class, or the outside interest that became an obsession, college days are days of high enthusiasm. That ' s why we chose to present the Pom-pon girls and the drum majorette on these division pages rather than in sports sections. Enthusiasm is never limited to sports. . HMhAh M-Evan Vail, band di- rector, seems somewhat baffled by Patti Hurtz. LIKE THIS— Nothing to this baton business. All you have to do is practice for years and years. Of course it helps to be born agile, and if you ' re good looking it won ' t be counted against you. AAimi Stevenson shows how. Staff PICTURfcb — The smiling girl holding the view camera is Barbara Linthicum. Pictures come first in a yearbook— un- counted hours in the field and in the darkroom. Barbara heade dthe photograhic staff, with Ken Middleham as advisor and occasional contributor. IN PRESENTING the 1953 edition of the Tequesquite Yearbook, staff members have tried to break away from tradition in some respects — introducing a new feature here and there without sacrificing as nearly complete a pictorial coverage of the year as space and the budget permited. For instance, we ' re quite proud of the four pages of contrasting pictures Then and Now, that in- troduce the Special Events section. Yearbook production consists of a number of major steps that must be carried out more ol less inde- pendently and then tied together as a publi- cation dates for various sections draw near. On these two pages we present the individuals most responsible for the book that you hold in your hands, with a few notes on their duties. Our thanks also to Frances Frickman, George Hovanec, Loren Baldwin, and numerous other con- tributors. K n Ljearbooh j iroducil ucuon IDEAS, COPY, ADS— Pencil in hand is Editor Ginger Gilliand, checking the master dummy. A yearbook must be diagrammed in advance and step-by-step records kept via the dummy. Man with phone is Editor-Elect Norman Katz, business manager, who learned the ropes of business management with the editor ' s help. Business managers must be go- getter ad-getters. Sl CDS 2p, MODERN YEARBOOKS constitute rather elabor- ate albums picturing students and events. It is the hope of every yearbook staff that the pictures of all student body members may be included in the book, as informally and as naturally as possible. Naturally, some students are pictured more than once. The man who is in a couple of clubs and who takes part in plays or other student activities is bound to face the camera frequently. Our apologies to the individual who turned up missing the day the club shots were arranged or who happened to be behind a piller when the photographer was prowling the campus looking for general coverage shots. With the growing emphasis upon vocational education and special work, it is no longer practical to divide the student body into fresh- men and sophomore divisions. If, by chance, you didn ' t make the book this year, stick around and we ' ll catch you in the ' 54 edition. LAYOUT — Layout means placement of pictures on pages and general arrangement of type. The way it is done has a great deal to do with the attractiveness of a book. Top photograph pre- sents Jackie Lewis and Robert L. Patton, advisor, engaged in a picture puzzle. AND THE FILES— Well, well, here we find those two intrepid sports editors, Bob Greiner and Ronnie Harm, referring to the files. As the year progresses and pictures, copy, bills, ideas, etc., collect in great abundance, the files become increasingly important. 39 3 3 9 er imes THE TIGER TIMES identifies itself with events and happenings. Because the occurrence of most of the events is a thing of the past, the TT is not so much a newspaper as it is a progressive record of Riverside College life. The paper appears every two weeks, with pre-publication days a time when the editor and staff eye each other appre- hensively and worry over the condition of their next addition to the file family. Ultimately the big moment arrives the first copy rolls off the press. A sigh of relief and wonder is heard. A staff mem- ber hurries back to the campus with a stack of papers and passes them out to students like a proud new father handing out cigars.

Here is the individual at work. In this case it happens to be editor Jo Shackelford. Tiger Times editorials, columns and letters to the editor cleared the air from time to time and provided an outlet for opinion. V •s; INDIVIDUAL TALENT was so widely distributed in this year ' s TT staff that almost any member of the group could perform almost any task involved in producing a bi-weekly newspaper. This was fortunate, too, for they had to. With routines inter- rupted frequently by such distractions as mid-year graduation, military service, and matrimonial ventures, the journalists never knew whether they would be called upon to report some hi-jinx in the Pit, sell ads, interview campus cuties for Tiger Titan features, or check sticky page proofs fresh from the Print Shop. Some of the most articulate journalists were absent on business, ofTicial and otherwise, when our photographer visited the Tiger Times office. Ex-GI Loren Baldwin became a confidante of faculty and administration and wormed many a good story out of the powers-that-be. Ben Killingsworth ' s detached sense of humor proved him a born feature writer. Mike Conidaris ' s encyclopedic knowledge of track made him an astute chronicler of the Hucksters ' affairs. Francis Fogarty in his position as sports editor, put to good use his broad interest in all atheltics. ROOM 28, OF COURSE— Any time of the day and sometimes of the night Room 28 serves as a newspaper office, publications conference room, meeting place for student committees. These Tiger Times staff members include, left to right: Marilyn Merchant, Jerry Kyle, Jo Shackelford, A. J. Sisk, Arthur Knopf, advisor; Lansing Fletcher, Jo Ann Payne, and Ed Mauel. 41 COUNCIL— Left to right: Earl Topham, Lynn Shorey, Carole Lee, Dick Williams, Voyle Shelton, Ed AAauel, president; Margie England, Ralph Bradshaw, advisor, and David Yamaguchi. Political VlHattepS COUNCIL MEMBERS serve as representatives coordinating faculty, student body and admin- istrative matters. They act on student legis- lation and check the distribution of finances. In addition, they represent the college at stu- dent government conferences called to pro- mote better relations between colleges and to exchange ideas. Councilmen for 1952-53 were generally good natured, one of the several high leadership qualifications of President Ed Mauel. ASB Vice-President Voyle Shelton presided over the Cabinet. Members are representatives of each club on campus and editors of publi- cations. Their duties as Cabinet members are various. They work to solve such problems as provision of more adequate parking space. They even turn sleuths and trace down the cups and saucers that turn up in campus corners or in the Pit. Objective, of course, is to improve habits and manners— inoffensively, of course.

It is planned by the Council and held in the Tigers ' Den, complete with band and entertainment. The student body also sponsors the Christmas formal, gen- erally held at the Mission. This social event is the high- light of the holiday season. Senior Day, when the campus swarms with visitors from every County high school as well as Poly, is also in charge of the ASB. To climax activities, of which there are many, the gradua- tion dance is held at the Victoria Club following graduation exercises in the Quadrangle. Naturally, all these doings demand publicity and advertis- ing as well as enthusiasm of the organizers. Posters for plays, dances, athletic events and other activities are in constant production.

Miss Shackelford acted as master of ceremonies for the traveling assembly that toured County high schools and gave a demand showing at Poly High, Auditorium programs were widely varied, ranging from the serious to the hilarious. Outstanding presentations were the Cosmetology Department show, mixed chorus from Poly, Christmas pro- gram with choir and modern dance group participating— to say nothing of numerous lectures and such impressive gatherings as fall and winter convoca- tions. MODERN DANCE— Modern dance group was di- rected by Mrs. Stella Staley, P.E. teacher at University Heights. Members of the class assisted Mrs. Staley in teaching at the High School. The girls danced in the Christmas assembly and as members of the traveling troupe. They also took part individually in the spring production of Girl Crazy.

The team relied heavily on the starting lineup, Don Volpi, Bud Williamson, Don Weischedel, Doug Maijala, and Bob Plancia. Reserves played good ball, but there was insufficient depth to hold out against the powerful Fullerton Hornets in particular. Ed Butler and Ken Storeim headed the reserves and should add strength next year. Eyes of the entire Conference were on big Don Weischedel who broke all scoring records and was named to the All-Southern-California squad. Wishy kept pouring them in, but it was team effort that kept the Tigers in championship contention until late in the second round of play. The practice season opened on an encouraging note as the Bengals breezed to two easy victories over Palomar J. C. and East Los Angeles J. C. Volpi tallied 27 and 19 points respectively and showed all-round ability that made him outstanding throughout the season. After opening wins, the practice schedule took a turn for the worse, Riverside losing to Glendale and San Diego and then dropping two more, to Cedar City, Utah, and Bakersfield in the Chaffey tournament. One more loss went on record books before Conference play began, this time to Cal Poly in which a trio of former RC players, Kenny Martin, Dave Kelley and Don Smith came home to help defeat the Tigers. HAT BOY-Bruce Haslam holds Coach Gilk ' s hat with the faith and te- nacity of a bulldog. At right is Brant Cowser, former Tiger star, who assisted Gilkeson this year. f Here we have Don Weische- del, the Big Swish, in typical action that resulted in new records all down the line. Here are a few of Don ' s new marks: Twelve-game Conference play record, 285 points for average of 23.75 per game. Riverside College season total of 432. Two-year total of 844 points. Unanimously chosen player of the year. Named to All-Southland first squad. £ he (I3la wlsh 49 l Uon S euen - cJLodt Ive With the opening of Conference play, however, Coach Glenn Gilkeson, with his usual crafty general- ship, sent in a team of regulars that knocked off Santa Ana, 84-75, and that nnarked the sensational beginning of Wishy ' s drive to break the Conference scoring record held by Williams of San Ber- nardino. He tallied 29 points in the opener, and Volpi hit for 23. Riverside then turned back Chaffey, with Maijala driving and sharpshooting for 19 to Weischedel ' s 21. The Bengals then went to San Bernardino where they took over first place in Conference standings by winning 62-55. Maijala, Volpi and Williamson scored 15, 14, and 12 as Weischedel was held to 14, his lowest of the season. The first game with Fullerton on the home court was the year ' s thriller, the Hornets edging Riverside 65-64 in spite of Weischedel ' s 32 points. A scoreboard mixup sent the fans home talking about how the Tigers might have won. In the last two games of the first round Riverside lost to Mount San Antonio, 81-79 and defeated Orange Coast to create a four-way tie for first place. SQUAD— Coach Glenn Gilke5on( with ball) and Assistant Brant Cowser, inspect the full squad in this early-season photo. Left to right: Ken Storeim, Keith Sanders, Francis Fogarty, Don Edson, Bob Shelton, Bob Plancia, Don Volpi, Don Weischedel, AAike Schenck, Ray Gardner, Thomas Denney, Doug Maiiala, Gene Moss, Stan Wolfson, Bud Williamson, and Ed Butler. 1 ne S e eaSon RIV.

BUD WILLIAMSON-Center, right was a hard-driving .nimble player, cat-like when an opening presented itself for a drive-in. DOUG MAIJALA-Bottom, right, showed exceptional speed in bringing the ball down the court. He took the offensive on numerous scoring sprees. BOB PLANCIA— Left, improved steadily. Before the season was over handled the ball with confidence and precision and became noted for accuracy in his long shots. Second rsounci BEFORE SECOND round play began the Tigers went to San Diego wliere they lost a thriller by one point, with Weischedel totaling 37 for his high single game score of the season. The second game with Santa Ana followed, won by Riverside 61-43. Then came Chaffey, with River- side handing the Panther ' s their first defeat on their home floor. Wishy hit for 27 and Volpi for 21 . In another crucial game with San Bernardino the Bengals remained in a tie for first in the Confer- ence race by defeating the In- dians 63-60. The showdown game of the year was one Riverside would rather forget. At Fullerton every mem- ber of the team seemed to ex- perience an off night. The Hor- nets hit the hoop from every angle to run up a lop-side d vic- tory. IN FOR TWO— Bud Williamson out- foxed opponents on numerous oc- casions. This action shot, taken in the first Orange Coast game, demon- strates Bud ' s get-away methods. 52 ' one River- their floor. 3r21. hSan aifled infer- le In- iyear ■atlier itieiti- oex- Hor- every d vie- Pta f THE REMAINING two games were anti-climactic. The main interest centered centered in whether Weis- chedel would set a new scoring record. Riverside lost successively to A t. San Antonio and Orange Coast. Against AAt. Sac the Tigers led most of the way but relinqu- ished their advantage late in the fourth quarter. Regardless of their late-season losses, Riverside played an exciting brand of ball all year— a credit to the college, the coach and the com- munity. -U- ' WC ON THE ROSTER— No matter how experienced the first string may be, they ' re lost without good subs, particularly in such a game as basket- ball in which an over-zealous oflFlcial may call five fouls in a hurry. Keith Sanders, 25, and Bob Shelton, 23, made important contributions to squad play. MANAGER— Jim Hester, with ball, kept track of such things as shirts and shoes. It takes a good man to be a good manager. Hester qualified. Hand on hip is Mike Schenck, another promising sub. HAPPY— Smiling Steve Bystry, No. 25, saw less action than some of the others, but he en- joyed the game just as much. rCatln 9 Volpi, the jack-in-the-box forward, was a tremendous asset to the college team, and he strictly deserved selection on the second Eastern Con- ference squad. Along with Weischedel, he was ch osen to play in the E. C. all-star game against Fullerton. He finished the conference season with 167 points or a 14-point average for eighth in conference totals. Volpi played perhaps his best game against the Kirby Shoe team in the invitational commercial team tournament staged in Riverside after the regular season closed. He was unabashed by the big names in the lineup and was as effective as the great Ernie Sheldrake, former UCLA star. DRIVE-IN-Volpi, right, drives in with grim determination in play against the Fullerton Hor- nets. Waiting hopefully for possible rebound is Wishy, with Maijala circling in back- ground.

STRATEGY— Time-outs are called for a purpose. Sometimes the boys are dog tired. Other times the coach has words of wisdom to impart. In this shot Glenn Gilkeson gives the lowdown to Maiiala, Storeim, Weischedel, Volpi, and Plancia, left to right. OnC. our t GENE BUTLER, one of next year ' s hot prospects who saw considerable action this year, sets for a shot. Honorable mention In Conference ratings was awarded to Bob Plancia and to Doug Maljala. Plancia, five inches over six feet, was in his second season on a school team. His rebounding was particularly noteworthy, and his improvement as a ball handler made him one of the best dribblers in the conference. Maijala began to click when he was shifted to guard from his forward position. His aggressiveness helped the quintet to stay fired up. He scored 140 points in Conference play for a 11.7 average. 55 h 56 uectai C uents T Ok en cm d r low l t 6 a ar Lm jSoiisj IF YOU HAVE noticed a striking similarity between the man on the left, helping to service an F-84 Thunder Jet at Chitose Air Force Base, Japan, and the man below engaged in a highly civilian transportation de- tail, it is more than coincidental. They axQ one and the same— Cpl. Don Wellwood and Student Don Wellwood. On these pages and the two following we introduce a new feature devoted to the men who have returned from service. There are many others on the campus to whom we pay our respects as well. The return to studies, after a service hitch is a most special event. Only those who have served their time know what it means to get back. It is possible that the professor sometimes forgets that the man in the backrow who seems inat- tentive may be reliving scenes in an intense and perilous drama in which he played a part— a tragedy for which the last act has not as yet been written. There will continue to be freedom of choice in this country and the right for a man to emerge as an individual. This right is preserved when necessary by those who go forth to uphold sound principles of government and having served, return. Genuine service photographs on these tvi ' O pages and the next two were supplied at the request of the editors. Local pictures were taken with deliberate intent to present a similarity in pose to make the contrast more interesting. 57 c tpadts onira JAPAN, 1 950— Sgt.

(Data released with permission of subject.) 59 S tudieS IN THE BEGINNING, September that is, came tests. Some of the questions seemed a little silly, but they were supposed to point up individual differences and help the confused make wiser choices in subjects. But the confusion seemed a little deeper when the battery of instructors and monitors called time. Then came official registration— blanks and forms and long lines— and at last assign- ment to a counselor who knew part of the answers. But if he didn ' t know all of the answers he sent you right along to another table of specialists where you waited your turn, like as not, and discovered to your horror that signing up for college courses creates just one conflict after another. Just doesn ' t seem to be any way to dodge that 8 o ' clock class! Finally it was all over and you were ready to buy your books and settle into the grind. Sort of gloomy prospe ct at first.

Benches in the shade— you know— and somebody nice sitting on the bench. Food in the Tigers Den was first class, and a man ' s spirit began to rise as time went on. When the student body and the clubs began to throw dances and rallies and stunts in the Pit the whole situation changed. Pretty small campus, you discovered, small enough so that you could meet almost everyo ne. The weeks began to pass faster and faster until the first thing you knew it was June. How could you have been so scared in September? THINGS ARE DANDY-This is more like if. Phil Millet and Carol Farmer are by the sun dial.

High tide on the campus is during the sun- shine hours. On occasion, particularly dur- ing spring, classes invade the campus. Members settle them- selves in circles on the lawn and the instructor mixes sun- shine with his lecture notes. DASH OF COLok-Dclly Lvalia icalia her drawing board against the newly planted sycamore.

That ' s not his purse. .Arll opts Some special events are planned, of- ficially that is, and others just seem to materialize. There is seldom a dull moment on a college campus, thanks to the ingenuity of those gifted in the ways of breaking up any situations that become monotonous. We cite the example of the bell. I BELL CLAMOR— Here we go again. Every year tiiere is a story tolled by the bell— get it? In October some diabolically clever scliemers accidently carried off the Victory Bell from the San Bernardino campus. Through some mysterious phenomina the bell was found on the Riverside campus on the date of the San Bernardino game rally. The GIA finally con- fessed that they borrowed the bell to clean it up. Through previous arrangements, representatives came to our fair, innocent college to take the bell back home. Picture above presents peace meeting on stage and milling mass that witnessed the de- parture. Warren Bennett, Ed Maul, Lauri Maki and Monte Cooper are in the stage cast.

THANKS TO WIDE participation of clubs and the student body as a whole, the World Stu- dent Service Fund Drive not only went over the $150 goal but netted an additional $100. Dunking activities, record cutting booth, wrest- ling match, cake walk, cookie sale and just plain man-to-man salesmanship made the etters WSSF take on life and meaning.

Certain other individuals, having looked over the prospects, stroke their chins or adjust their lipstick before recommending that so-and-so be invited to join this club or that. He ' s got what it takes. Clubs are just groups banding together for several perfectly good reasons. One reason is that members like each other. Another is that it takes cooperation and mutual interest to accomplish certain ends. Sometimes these ends are serious, other times just plain entertaining. A major objective of all campus clubs is to promote programs that are of direct or indirect benefit to the entire student body and to the community. The two pictures at the left are illustrations of what we mean. The cake sale in the Pit was entered into by various clubs to raise money for the World Student Service Fund— about as serious and as valid a project as you might wish.

Founded by Joe Hunter, a former River- side College student nov head of Hunter- Douglas Corporation, the students occupy comfortable quarters in charge of a housemother. Here they work for board and room and are privileged to put in extra time for additional compensation. An objective of the founder is to provide every facility necessary for carrying on college work by deserving students pro- viding they demonstrate a willingness to work and to accept responsibility. 83 TO SAVE LIVES— One of the most successful and worth while club ventures this year was the combined blood-drive during which Room 28 looked more like a hospital ward than a publication office and classroom. In this picture Don Renck, drive chairman, admires results of the drive. 84 ! mnna T or ts BASEBALL TRACK TENNIS GOLF (INCLUDING COEDS) In the spring a young man ' s fancy (at least part of the time) turns to thoughts of base- ball, hitting home runs, jumping, hurdl- ing, throwing things, running, golfing, playing tennis, and generally cavorting in an enthusiastic if tiring manner. Natur- ally we include the Coeds in this consid- eration. Team play and a team point of view are essential in any kind of athletics, but we like to think that it ' s vitally important to try to run a little faster than somebody else or to jump a little higher. HIUH FL — Man Icjpi;. i i ball is Don Westbrools, Lansch backing him up. biu c ALL-ROUND STAR MAN WITH JAVELIN and look of grim determination is Doug Maijala, prime example of what an individual can do if he keeps at if and has a few more or less native abilities. Doug won four first places and placed in five other events in scoring 30 ' 2 points in a track meet with San Bernardino Valley College to set an all-time college high point total. Maijala moved right into the track and field scene following the basketball season. 85 j3Si er?: ?asi . ' . INDUP— Tom Ricketts, top Tiger Hurler, takes aim. (A5a6ebail . . . THE 1953 TIGER baseball team under Coach Paul Roby played good heads up ball for the first half of the season, but slipped after losing ace centerfielder Don Westbrook to the service. Don had been fielding sensationally and maintained a better than .300 batting average. Leadoff man Richard Cox was the main sparkplug of the team and was hitting .343 when yearbook presstime rolled around. Cox led in hits, runs, and stolen bases. The Tigers were particularly strong down the middle, with Bob Porter behind the bat, Benny Martinez at shortstop, and Joe Pettitt at second base. Top moundsmen were Tommy Ricketts and Wes Perine as starters with help from Don Weischedel and Bob Hoover. With a little more hitting the Tigers would have been a strong contender for the Eastern Conference crown. IN NON-CONFERENCE practice games the Bengals did well, splitting with Redlands University 7-2 and 0-12; beating Citrus 6-5, tying Cal Poly 3-3, and twice knocking off Palomar, 9-8 and 18-4. The winning ways continued into conference play as Ricketts pitched a 3-2 victory over Orange Coast. The hitters then found their eyes in a 1 2-8 slugfest victory over Fullerton and a 7-3 romp against San Bernardino. ii SLIDER— Richard Cox demonstrates the slide.

HIGH SPOT of the season came when Don Weischedel pitched a four-hitter over the San Diego Naval Air Station team, the Tigers springing an astonishing upset by winning 6-3. The San Diego team had been expected to walk off with the game since they had beaten Pacific Coast League teams during spring training season. PITCHERS-Coach Paul Roby has words with three members of the pitching staff, Robert Hoover, Weischedel, and Wesley Perine, I. to r. 2). iamon MORE PLAYS d C I — um iii H I I - JWl SECOND BASE-Ready for that double play is Joe Pettitt who covered second. HITTER-Onn Speir came up with liils when hits were needed. A STRONG PENNANT contender in the first round of play, the Tigers went into a quick decline when they lost succes- sively to Mt. San Antonio, Fullerton, and Santa Ana by scores of 3-8, 8-10, and 1-4. At press time, with two Conference gannes remaining, the Tigers had won 3, tied 1 and lost 6. 88 r- cljevelopm.en IS AND PLAYERS NICE STOP— Shortstop Ben Martinez leans into a nifty fielding play. FAST PLAY— Catcher ready to cut otT a possible run is Bob Porter, with Larry Rhymer taking in the throw to first base. DID HE SCORE?— We can ' t remember. At any rate, this is a genuine action shot taken at the first game with San Bernardino won by Riverside, 7-3. On the mound is Don Weischedel. 89 rach LED BY DOUG MAIJALA, the biggest point making machine in RC history, a small Bengal squad scor- ed well in large meets this year, but lacked the necessary depth to cope with Eastern Conference dual meet opponents. Coach Ted Hucklebridge ' s forces suffered heavy losses as a pre-season roster of some 20 stalwarts dwindled to less than 10 a short time after the starter ' s gun oflPicially sent the thin dads into action. Against Orange Coast the Tigers could muster only 7 competitors. One of the season ' s high spots came April 24 when the Tigers decidedly outscored Cal Poly, Palomar and Phoenix in a quadrangular meet, running up 8OV2 points to Cal Poly ' s 29 for second place. It was in this meet that AAaijala shot the javelin out for a new college record of 192 feet 2% inches and Holmes tallied 21 points in an all-round performance. Competing in the John Muir pentathlon, Maijala placed second to Braton Norton, national cham- pion. Later, in the Kansas Relays decathlon, Doug placed fourth, competing against the bitterly cold weather in addition to such men as Olympian J. H. Mashburn, the winner. The Bengal mile relay team composed of Bob Holmes, AAaijala, Mike Conidaris, and Bill Brown, went undefeated as a combination in dual meet competition, and placed in the Long Beach relays and the National Orange Show relays. They were within a fraction of a second of the college record. With a 1:59 clocking in the half mile last year and steadily improving as the season advanced. Brown had a good chance to shade the college mark of 1:58.6 before the season ended. « . m 90 ? ieid IN RUNNING EVENTS the individual competes against the watch as well as against his opponent, with his eye on records, or at least on eclipsing his own best performance. In the field events as well, it is man against dis- tance or height— handicapped, of course, by the law of gravity. Following are some best marks of the year by RC athletes: 100-Heldoorn, 10:5; Holmes, 10:6; Yam- aguchi, 10:6. 220-Conidaris, 22:5; Heldoorn, 22:6; Holmes, 22:7. 440— Conidaris, 51:3; Maijala, 51:5, Holmes, 51:6; Brown, 51:6 (relay timings). 880-Brown, 2:02; Conidaris, 2:05.

While there was no organized Conference play, Riverside anticipated some May nnatches with Orange Coast. Farnham ' s 74 set the pace, with Ann Lawson ' s 85 keeping other team members on their toes— couldn ' t be beaten by a nicer girl. THE 1953 TENNIS TEAM, while not a strong Conference con- tender, fared reasonably well. Jerry Mayer, first singles, showed a lot of promise, winning three of his first four con- ference matches against Fullerton, San Bernardino, Chaffey and Santa Ana. op l oeds oo • • • POWER DRIVE— Mary Walsey sends her opponent reeling in this classy return. SPORTS OF ALL SORTS, including basketball, archery, bowling, tennis, and golf were on the Women ' s Athletic Association schedule this year. In addition the girls sold pro- grams at the football games. Mrs. Cath- arine Huntley, amiable coach instructor, was at the helm. Important on the list of activities was the fall Conference at Long Beach where sports and planning held sway. Basketball games with ChafFey and wtih Redlands University girls kept interest high.

Center: Miss Royer, George Blatchford, McCullough, and Happ. Bottom: Barrett (the victim), Katz, Warren Bennett, Lauri Maki, Tom Beckum, Don Wellwood, and Happ. 2), Tama mi THE ALL-STAR CAST composing the Chester Hess drama troupe was as busy as usual this year, with some performers in a perpetual state of rehearsal. First production was Brighten the Corner, a three-act farce by Cecil Holms. Then came The Silver Cord, by Sidney Ho- ward, ably presented via central staging. A riotous melodrama, Love Rides the Rails, opened for a two-night stand in early spring. Several numbers were repeated in special programs. Girl Crazy, done in collaboration with the Music Department, closed the season in May. The Drama students also played leading parts in numerous assembly programs. SCENES— Scene from Brighten the Corner, in top panel presents, I. to r.: Jackie Lewis, Bill Happ, Alicia Donnelly, and Lee Harvey. Silver Chord, lineup, I. to r., bottom panel, includes Sylvia Kniftle, Dan White, Jo Schackleford, Bill Happ, and Renee Harper. an JM USiC THE COLLEGE MUSIC DEPARTMENT of=Fers, as the pictures obviously show, a chance for students to sing before the public as well as in Rooms 215 and 216. This year ' s major production was The Cloak, a one-act opera by Giacomo Puccini. Besides this, the chorus presented a Christmas concert, singing Saint-Saens ' Christmas Oratorio as its major work. There are two spring undertakings. One of these is the all-Southern-California junior college music festival for competition and mass choral work. The other is Gershwin ' s Girl Crazy, done in con- junction with the Drama Department. In addition, student recitals are presented throughout the year. Altogether the program, including band, orchestra, organ, and piano lessons, makes for busy times in charge of Edwin Sayre, Donald Stone and Evan Vail. THE CLOAK — Top panel below presents Dick Williams and Jean Bates plus Stevedores Bill Candler, Larry Kirkpatrick, Ronnie Harm, and Kim Small. Bottom panel, I. to r.: Harm, Kirkpatrick, Jeanne Hoganson, Jean Bates, and Small. The set, too, was effective AJJJt SOMETHING NEW has been added-a course in Vocational Nursing. The program at the College has been developed in close co- operation with the Community Hospital and with representatives of the medical and nursing professions. Over half the time is spent actually on the job in the hospital. While receiving instruc- tion in the hospital, students are given a small allowance to meet the cost of trans- portation and meals. This page is not as much out of place in the book as you might think since interest- ing pictorial shots of the new class were not available until late in the year. LUNCH TIME— or maybe it ' s dinner. Mrs. Dorothy Noble, student vocafional nurse, enjoys her work, and who wouldn ' t? The beanning mother is Mrs. Homer Fountaine (Pauline Hall) pleasantly disposed switchboard operator. Danny prefers to snooze in spite of the attention. SMOOTHIES— Miss Alicia Sayre shows the class a technique or two about bed making.

J C vents SENIOR DAY is a special event of course, but it came too late in the year, April 15, to include in the regular special events section. The photograph below illustrates the way the Quadrangle fits into a picnic-type program. Several hundred seniors from County high schools visited the campus, conferred with instructors, and were en- tertained after lunch. NICE WORK— Senior Day guides impress a delegation of Coeds from San Jacinto— or do they? Pointing is Jerry Freeman. Man with hands in pockets is Tommy Ricketts. My, my, don ' t they enjoy their work. 131 EyERYBOOY GET RBOHRQvi FILL TNtT CRBiNS A f- redS ZJl ime X An objective of any self-respecting yearbook is to present as complete coverage of the year ' s events as possible. That ' s why we hold back these two pages as long as we can— May 4 in this case. Things were still humming on and off the campus. The last picture taken for the news sections was such a good one, that we couldn ' t resist running it full size. It tells its own story. Here ' s a press time rundown of spring doings: DOUG MAIJALA set a new Eastern Conference and River- side College record in the EC trackfest with a throw of 198 feet, 2 inches. Riverside took fourth in the meet held May 2. Maijala collected 16 points with his javelin win, and second in the high hurdles, third in the low hurdles, third in the broad jump and participation on the second-place relay team. Brown took third in the half mile. Holmes tied for first in the high jump and placed in the high hurdles. Maijala, Brown, Holmes, and Conidaris snared second in the mile relay. JOANNE ROYER placed fourth in the National AAU synchronized swim meet in Des Moines, Iowa; see photo, upper right. PAUL RAYMAN defeated Larry Barrett in a race for student body president, April 30. THE BASKETBALL TEAM lost to San Bernardino, 12-9 and defeated Chaffey 10-9 in closing Conference games. DAVE HALLIBURTON, Ed. Groven, Dick Grace, Bill Williams, Taher Abu Ghazaleh, Ginger Gilliand, Barbara Cummings, Pat Butler, Sumiko Koketsu, and Marilyn Merchant participated in a Model U.N. Conference held at Berkeley. SPORT SHIRT DAY was enthusiastically received by both students and faculty; see photo below. DRAMATISTS and musicians joined forces in producing Girl Crazy, scheduled for May 22 and 23. SWIMMING TEAM took fourth in the Eastern Conference meet. Members were Bob Greiner, Buddy Barton, Malcom MacDonald, Francis Fogarty and Earl Topham. SPORTS AND SHIRTS— Winners line up with iudges, left to right: instructor Phil Black, honorable mention; Paul Rayman, honorable mention; Judge Willa Thompson; Dave Yamaguchi, prettiest; Judge Betty Jo Sprague; Don Miller, honorable mention; Coach Paul Roby, honorable mention; Bob Greiner, loudest; Ed Mauel, grand prize (he painted it himself); and Judge Marilyn Merchant. Itat 6 il for f low • • THE LAST PICTURE in a yearbook should be something special, and we believe that this photograph qualifies. It is a picture of Riverside taken from the hills a few miles southeast of the City. We present it as part of the record for those of you who will scatter to all parts of the world, lugging your books along. We believe that a community has its identity too, that it is capable of emerging and rising to a high cultural level through the planning of those it shelters. RIVERSIDE COLLEGE is, in one sense, a Community College, designed to meet the needs of the area. Many graduates will shortly assume responsibilities as community leaders, and that is as it should be. If you have had a hand in this book in any way, thanks for your help— and that goes for photographers, printers, engravers and the binders as well as the students. It doesn ' t seem possible, but it now appears that that ' s all there is— left to right — get it? Wtih fond regards. The Staff 134 I '  i « ' K.I ' .i ' f ri ' h if ) ' ] J i ' A ' €) ' J ' ' i
