Riverside College - Tequesquite Yearbook (Riverside, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 142 of the 1954 volume:

When we showed Bill Refchin, S. K. Smith Co. cover representive, Miss Iseda ' s sketch for the cover of this book, he shuddered perceptibly. So you ' ve gone modernistic, he said, rolling his eyes and trying stoutly to maintain the smiling countenance required of a good salesman. He admitted that the cover made him feel as if he were just leaving the Los Angeles Coliseum, but a staff member disagreed. Not at all, she said. It makes me feel as if I were lost in a deep wood. Upon hearing these words, Miss Iseda rushed off joyfully to tell her art instructor, Lawson Cooper, that the design was successful. They ' re all mixed up, but we ' ve got them thinking, she told Mr. Cooper. I believe that they actually appreciate modern art. And that ' s the way it is with modern art— you just can ' t get the idea all at once. It grows on you. At least it grew on us. The Staff T E Q U E S LiM iSir A QUITE RIVERSIDE COLLEGE Riverside, California 1954 IN THE AUTUMN we look t: ■ ■ ' • ' ne varied colors of the falling leaves. Here, Steve Hoye has a chance to admire them closer than any of us — with perhaps a shade less artistic interpreta- tion. oucn . . . IN CONSIDERING various themes For the 1954 Tequesquite we were seeking An idea with an added touch. In a sense, we found what we wanted Before we started because the more We considered the importance of An added touch the more we were convinced That the search for a theme was over. In whatever we do it takes an added touch To rise above the average. A good cook, for example, knows exactly When to add the spice, and the good Student knows when to hit the books A little harder. Perfection may be an end to which we aspire In whatever we do, but perfection is Largely a mirage that fades as we approach. On the other hand, an added touch Is within our grasp at all times because All it calls for is a little more effort And a little more pride in accomplishment. We trust that you will find a few Added touches in the way we have fashioned This book, and that you will Forgive us our gags— which are Added touches in their own way. IN SKY, LEAVES, LAWN, AND A COED ' S DRESS In the beginning, the builders, who were dreamers too, said: We shall plan a college that is not like all other colleges. We shall dare to be a little different. We shall provide a campus so designed as to provide the most beautiful and friendly of environments. . . . Theirs, too, was an added touch. ail (I5e eacin 9 THE CALL OF THE BOOKS was heeded by approximately 750 students returning somewhat reluctantly to secu re those added touches which education assures. It was hard to blame them for their reluctance, since it was just plain hot that day in September when it all began. Lines were long and duplicate forms were plentiful. Fill this out please and then take it over to Table D. Oh yes, don ' t forget your $15 registration fee. SLOW BUT SURE-You will remember these scenes. Probably you were met af the library door by Earl Anderson, Eunice Cattern and Evan Vail, left. Waiting line below includes, I. to r., Ruth Cooper, James Haslam, John Dawson, Jim Hilde- brandt, Beverly Griffith, Chuck Young, Gene Spencer, and Roman Warren, among the more identifiable. Registration scene in library portrays the mechanics of the situation. l Uith fseaidt f ' tii rauon BOB ALVARADO, right, finds the added touch-a half dozen or so books plus binder— a little heavy. Having survived the trials and tribulations of registration, and having donned garb recommended for the incoming freshmen, he is ready to face instructors and classmates with some degree of safety. Photograph below (Table 5) provides a graphic closeup of just what goes on when a college student tries to make up his mind about selecting a major course of study and to line up a program free of conflicts. Faculty members served as counsellors during registration period, and students were assigned to tables in accordance with their chief interests. It all seemed a little discouraging at first, but by February 1, when the second semester began, everybody knew the ropes. The second round of registration was a breeze by comparison. MORE UNITS WANTED-Dwain Lewis, Joan Phillips and Richard Marcum get needed help from Instructors Don Stone and Edwin Sayre, I. to r. touch par excellence. Note good nature expressed by Marge Foster as she smiles at friends across the Quad. P unorama THE WORD PANORAMA, according to Webster, means a picture, or scene exhibited a part at a time, by being unrolled before the spectator ... a building designed to contain an exhibit. We believe, therefore, that the headline on this page is particularly appropriate, for the quadrangle is admirably designed to present a constantly changing and unrehearsed drama of daily college life with all students playing an equal part. Quadrangle paths and corridors carry the between-class or noon hour flow to the Tigers Den or the Pit, but along the way are vantage points and outposts that few can resist. That moment in the sunshine or that quick exchange of com- ment on class or social doings provides that added touch that makes life worth living. FULL HOUSE— In this instance we have no reference to a card game— just to one of hundreds of pit table groupings where the day ' s doings are topics of conversation. Left to right, around the table: Jim Derris, Frank Van Hee, Bob Collins, Sally Barton, Pat Hammond, Rex Flint, Bill Moody, Joe Moss, Gene Brinkerhoff (yawing). HELLO UP THERE— Any similarity to birds perched on a wire is purely coincidental. Left to right: John Ruth, Bill Moody, Jan Adams, Frank Van Hee, Betty Jo Sprague, Joel Moss, Martha Ramirez, and Annette Shippee. OBLIVIOUS— Jim Baxter, it would appear, has no interest in the three major attractions to his left— or did the photogra- pher note that he edged a little closer as he turned the pages? Coeds, I. to r., are Violet Hiemstra, Barbara Morris, and Joyce Lillibridge. I I ' eiCA ti ctxciuon an THIS IS HOMEWORK? The congenial and natural atmosphere of a sunny campus provides something better to study than a book— which makes a good front for whatever Harold Telford and Dave Turner, left, are discussing. d FRIENDS— There ' s nothing like a super assembly to cause mutual friendliness and a closely-knit group. Even a huge publiciTy banner torn in half fails to attract the attention of conversationally occupied students. An empty bench and the direction of the flov ing crowd testifies to the fact that the noon chimes are ringing. DESTINATION REACHED-and evidently before initiation! Freshmen swarm in the pit, center of social life and relaxation at Riverside College, realizing with dread that when the time of reckoning arrives, they can merely hang over the walls and gaze upon their superiors with envy until the sopho- mores finally decide to tolerate their presence. In the foreground are: B. Alvarado, A. Flores, R. Aguilar, S. Hahn, J. Lee, L. Gruber, J. Deleo, R. Lee, J. Ragsdale, W. Thompson, J. Jones, P. Raymon, J. Ruth, E. Reed, J. Helgeson, M. Neault, S. Olson, P. Perrin, M. Mansholt, L. Tegland. R. tii eacuon WITH A NICKEL in one hand and a milkshake in the other, Bud Smerber, is indeed a lucky man. A little while after this picture was taken Bud received a nicely worded letter from Uncle Sam and replied in person. Now he is having music and milkshakes elsewhere and maybe not so often. Travel the world and you ' ll find a juke box wherever you go and a universal language of song. Activities of the Tiger ' s Den, chiefly eating, lounging, and date making are largely set to music. When one man doesn ' t have a nickel another one does. Not quite so loud, please; classes are meeting. ENTERTAINING— Taking in an outdoor stunt, below, are: I. to r., sitting; Shirlee Moore, Marilyn Enden, Bsverly Johnson, Joyce Hercer; second row, Joannie Moran, Bob Alvarado, Kenny Cantwell, Darlene Pauley, Betty Fleming, Arlene Atkin- son, Peggy Cooper; third row, Maggie Gerhardt, Janet McMillan, Dixie Hogan, Coke Meier, Bill Hersey, Joe Marquee, Howard Smith, Kitty Gipson, Sue Elder, Bob Murphy, Don Rasmussen, Tom Brady, Jerry Oliver. t 5K, f re ONE THING WE LIKE about the Riverside College faculty is their ability to enjoy them- selves. You might say it ' s an added touch. While it is customary to open the faculty sec- tion of a year book with an impressive picture of the president or the principal sealed behind a polished desk, we thought you might like a little different approach. For instance, the champ een square dance caller at the annual College Mixer was Denton Titus, left. You might never guess it to see him holding forth in the electronics lab and classrooms. Can ' t you just smell that smoke below? John Canario, Archie Twogood and Evan Vail, I. to r,, are trying to keep up with the demand for hamburgers at a Hunter Foundation party. Carl C. Cress, assistant superintendent, chats with Alice Neal, while Dean Ralph Bradshaw and Lee Gladden help themselves. hliHii li J , uman THE FACULTY numbers about 40 men and women who staff the numerous academic, semi-professional and vocational departments. Before the year is over, the average student has a speaking acquaintance with nearly every prof, and yarn spinning contacts with many. Close acquaintance and frequent opportunity for counsel are points in favor of smaller colleges, and this holds particularly true at Riverside. Even the Quadrangle is designed for friendship. On the more formal side, the man who isn ' t quite sure what he wants to make of himself has full opportunity to talk to Counselling Office staff members, or to take advantage of testing programs. COUNCELLOR-Ralph Bradshaw, dean of men, confers with a Riverside County high school student interested in enter- ing Riverside College. Through the guidance office, testing and counselling squads tour all the County highs. IT ' S A BARGAIN— The most satisfactory item in the College Bookstore is the proprietor, Harry Dangerfield, alias Mr. D. We find a place for him with the faculty because a lot of good teaching takes place outside the classroom. If you want to learn friendliness and good cheer, pay him a call. He teaches by example. pi annin f ADMINISTRATORS have one basic purpose in mind— planning the most productive programs for students. Naturally, to keep things running smoothly, a fev hard and fast regulations must be maintained. However, students find that the central offices are centers they may visit for general counsel and a lift over some of the rough spots. President Orland W. Noble has a keen interest in growth and development of the college, possible only through presentation of courses that will attract students and serve them well. He was a student at Riverside College himself and has seen the college grow from a hopeful idea with few assets it could call its own, to a thriving institution offering widely diversified courses in answer to community and district needs. Such programs are in addition to lower division college work. PAIR OF ACES-Presidents Orland W. Noble, administration, and Paul Rayman, Associated REGISTRAR— Here we have the ever amiable Earl McDermont, registrar, examining his share of the mailman ' s daily bundle. DEAN OF WOMEN-Fiances M. Fraser, dean of women, glances up from her office desk. Clear- ing the calendar of social affairs, particularly as they concern the coed, is one of Dean Frassr s many student contact responsibilities. op tudentd ESTABLISHED IN 1916, Riverside College is com- pleting its 38th year. In its endeavor to satisfy the educational desires of average-age as v ell as adult students, the college has flexibility. Students who enroll at Riverside College may wish to take lower division work in preparation for transfer to a four-year college or university. They may seek a two-year or a one-year terminal, vocational, or liberal arts program, or they may want short term courses to satisfy immediate needs. Enrollment, beginning in September, was about 760. The dropouts by semester time, February 1, were more than equalled by incoming students. Included in this year ' s student body have been more than 100 students 25 years of age or older. In addition to regular day classes, the college also administers a night program for adults. Student Body have chosen one of many campus corners for their confab on current events. SUBJECT ROCKS-Geology instructor Elmer W. Peck is the key figure in this classroom scene progressing in a way of which both administrators, teachers and students approve. Left to right, around the fable: B. Murray, J. Crowder, J. Winterbourne, Mr. Peck, G. Barnhart, Don Miller, S. Tegland, J. Jones, P. Rayman, S. Plaut, and J. McCullough. 17 PHOTOGRAPHY-A relatively new course, photography, is taught on Thursday afternoons by Kenneth Middleham. Ken is a former Teques- quite photographer and editor. His full-time work is as senior photogra- pher at UCR. Ull OPPORTUNITIES for special training have become in- creasingly wide in junior colleges, and Riverside College is no exception. Two-year colleges have also retained full responsibility for preparing students for transfer to the college or university of their choice. These two pages present photographs of students and instructors whose fields are both academic and specialized. Photographs of other departmental activities are included in the general section about instructors and their doings. BUSINESS— Instructors of almost any course in business education you might care to mention take a stance here between classes— at the request of the photographer. Left to right: Fleming Smith, Emily Waszkiewicz, Helen E. McGovern, and Leroy Bucknell. Mr. Smith donned that hat by request. 1 anae f A PROBLEM in drafting is solved by Robert Taylor, left, who has the at- tention of Instructor Lawrence Larson. Other kibitzers are Tek Tanaka and Earl Anderson. The course is popular with prospective engineers and archi- tects. LESSON PLANS or just an exchange of opinion on matters historical, political, or economic are obviously underway in the offices of Cecil Stalder, standing, and Maurice R. Mackenzie, seated. Such courses as history, economics, and political science help qualify students for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. HERE WE HAVE A CLOSEUP of Paul Roby at work in physiology class. By means of the pointer he gives pointers to Jay Williams and Rosario de la Torre. Photograph was taken during a lab session. Two subjects of consideration a e unidentified. Lab courses help satisfy that science requirement. 19 Wd GEOLOGY ART MUSIC eS yread mi ALMOST TRADITIONALLY, now, we like to show Geology Instructor Elmer W. Peck in the classroom he likes best, the great outdoors. From the point of view of geological studies, Peck insists, there is no place like Riverside County. Student referring to notes is Al Pugh. SOMETIMES ART depends upon how you look at a thing. In photo above Instructor Lawson Cooper interprets an interpretation that might be a little on the modern side. 20 Jj ntere, dd Foreign Language Cosmetology (and Coffee) SOMETHING NEW has been added to the language studies department, def- initely qualifying as an added touch. It is a language lab, and the mechanics of it are rather clearly illustrated in the photograph at right. The general idea is to hear what you say and to say what you hear. Dorothy Kincell demonstrates to Dr. Ernest Straubinger, language instruc- tor at the neighboring UCR campus. SOUND TRAINING is afforded by the Music Department any way you look at or listen to it. Two of three instructors are pictured below: Dr. Edwin Sayre, with glasses and disassociated pair of hands, and Don Stone. Student is Theron Two- good. DOnJourj COFFEE BREAKS, depending partly upon the quality of coffee, are irresistible, to say nothing of being neces- sary. You may have milk if you prefer. Mrs. Irma F. Judd, favoring the gay blouse, and Mrs. Alice K. Neal, take time out from their duties as Cosmetology in- structors. The latest issue of the Tiger Times appears to be as engrossing as the coffee. Cosmetology is a 1600-hour theory and practice course which qualifies students to take State examinations to become licensed beauti- cians. Riverside College has a particularly high stand- ing in this field of work. FSYCHOLOGISTS-Ddvid Webber and Richard Rice have stolen the show in this psych class photo that was supposed to feature Instructor Lee Gladden. Don ' t blame the students; speak to the photographer. CRAFTSMAN ' S SHIP— Libraries are for exhibits as well as books. Admirers of Norman Katz ' s handiwork are, left to right, Rosa McKusick, assistant librarian,- John Canario, librarian; and Mrs. Dorothy Summers, assistant. The College library is highly con- sidered for the number and selection of books. A movement is now on foot to secure building funds for enlargement. a add INSTRUCTORS are where you find fhem-in class and out. With a relatively small campus, It ' s easy to track them down. Of course it works both ways. It takes a man with a quick foot to escape an ill-ti me greeting right after he just accidental- ly happened to cut a class. SNAPPY-Jim Gettes, Instructor Herb Morris and LeRoy Butler, left to right, inspect a sports job flotes THE COLLEGE FACULTY is ample to insure personal attention to student prob- lems. Through the curricu- lum committee as well as frequent staff meetings, instructors have a full share in determing what new courses should be offered and what policies adopted. that could be in for a little check- ing or testing by the Auto Shop crew. COMBINE— Chemists, physicists, and mathematicians grouped for this shot. Left to right: James Haslam, Archie J. Twogood, Martin Brauti, Lawrence Larson, and James Duncan. We aren ' t quite sure about the apparatus in the center. CONFERENCE— English teachers (yes, you will have to take English) look fairly happy regardless of the stacks of papers they usually lug around with them. This troupe of sentence and speech doctors are, left to right: Ralph Bradshaw, Arthur Knopf, Clifford Stickney, Mrs. Phyllis Sensor, Chester Hess, Robert Patton and Philip Black. cJDepartmentaC WITH LESS TIME to participate in student body affairs, many students in special courses are less often heard from but none the less important. Such is the case with Vocational Nursing class members. Now in its second year, the course has experienced continued success in its training program. The work is presented in cooperation with the Riverside Community Hospital where students receive a half-year of practical training in addition to their classroom studies. Miss Alicia Sayre, instructor, upper left, highly approves the closeup photo presenting Michelle Banker, somewhat skeptical of the attention he is receiving from Mrs. Hazel Kilpatrick and Ellen Tomlinson, center and right. NOT A HITCHHIKER-Mark Walton, instructor of German and French, is not looking for a ride in this picture. More likely he is waiting for a coffee companion on the trail to the Tiger ' s Den. 24 SOMETHING WRONG? - Cecil Johnson and Ruth SPARKLING CLEAN— This is not an advertisement, just a demonstration by Mrs. Evelyn Irving, home economics teacher, who took the place of Mrs. Eve Wilson this year when th= latter moved to Mt. San Antonio College. Inspecting the modern dishwasher which is part of the latest model equipment of the Home Ec Department are Peggy Couper and Joy Shearer, I. to r. pecialidtd . . . Cooper, zoologists-botonists ook for bug in machinery. EDUCATION IN HOME ECONOMICS unlocks the door to many Interesting and profitable occupations. The demand exceeds the supply for such professionally trained workers as dieticians, food research specialists, household equipment demonstrators, department store buyers, welfare workers, interior decorators, fashion designers, child development workers, and teachers. A suite of spacious rooms in the newest section of the college is assigned to the Household Arts Department. The clothing laboratory is equipped with modern sewing machines. A beautifully furnished living-dining room makes it possible for students to serve small parties in home-like surroundings. Kitchen equipment is grouped in typical U-shaped units and includes the latest gas and electric stoves and refrigerators. If you want to know more, read the rest of a newly published department folder; better yet, drop in for tea. WHAT GOES ON? - Tony Steponovich, physical education and hygiene instructor, stands at at- tention. Generally speaking, he ' s usually on the move. 25 LOOKING THINGS OVER-This informal photograph of the Board of Education was taken right after trustees had approved offerings of the Home Economics Department kitchen. Left to right: Superintendent Bruce Miller, Lewis P. Alabaster, board president; Richard B. Hampson, Jr., Mrs. Gladys T. Babcock, and Mrs. E. M. Bonnett. Absent on the day of the feast was George C. Pooley. (I5enind the c ceneA NOT OFTEN SEEN by the average student, but always active in the students ' interests are members of the Board of Education. With College President Orland W. Noble and Superintendent Bruce Miller, trustees noxV out growth problems and put the final check on development of the curriculum. Most recent addition to college properties, the new gymnasium pictured below (about half completed when the photograph was taken in early January) is an example of the planning necessary to provide additional room as the college grows. Former students will be pleased to learn that the college next year will occupy its own physical education and athletics building. Grounds improvement will include a re-location of the practice football field, development of tennis and handball courts, along with other assets. Location of all this is the southeast portion of the Tequesquite Arroyo adjoining the Auto Mechanics and Electronic shops shown in bottom photograph of the next page. Yes, it ' s quite a hike up the hill, but it ' s worth it. «g5eaer- :a=gjt-e  g ,-.-=-, ..- „,„ .. annin WITH EXCEPTION of John C. Ohmen, director of adult education, the cast of characters on this page are the ones who really keep order. They know where to find everything except, on occasion, the teachers themselves. They keep the records, and write the letters, and make the appointments, and answer the telephones. Before the year is over they know everybody. Panel at right, top to bottom: Mary Ann Stanford, switchboard operator, has an answer for Mrs. Lois Erwin, guidance office secretary; Miss Ida Walther, adult division secretary, types a note for the director; Mrs. Wanda Bode glances up from the ever- necessary requisition in the business office.

The program will tell you. Joel Moss accepts a dime in exchange for lineups. football in R. eview OF ALL MAJOR SPORTS football still draws the largest crowds and provides the most subject matter for morning- after re-plays. Riverside College experienced an unusually good season, with only a couple of disappointments, as the following pages will disclose. We should like to introduce the section by applauding the troupe that sell the tickets and the programs, along with the peanut and popcorn brigade. They furnish added touches hard to do without. Then, too, when there ' s a letdown on the field, the pom-pon girls take over with their flashy routine. Half- time parades and queen crownings add their share of color. Yes, football, has a full share of added touches. TICKETS, PLEASE-Rachel Diaz inspects student body card extended by Norman Katz and smiles approval.

ACTION AND REACTION JUST MADE IT-Joe Rodarte, former Coachella flash, takes 25-yard pass from Tom Linane against Orange Coast. St ron f WITH THREE WINS and a tie against two losses in Eastern Con- ference play, the Riverside Tigers were in the flag race almost all the way. Loss of the closing game to San Bernardino, however, spoiled chances for second spot behind Fullerton. Riverside closed the season third in the six-team standings. Head Coach De Francisco, assisted by Paul Roby, Tony Steponovich and Bob Moore fielded a team that was a constant threat, and with a relatively large number of lettermen returning, the 1954 season has great promising. Santa Ana (practice) Against Santa Ana in a pre-season practice game. Riverside gave the curious first-nighters a real treat. Ricketts scored the first touchdown of the season in the first quarter. With only eight seconds left in the game, Jim Jordan also scored and Joe Rodarte kicked the extra point. Final score. Riverside 13, Santa Ana 0. John Muir (practice) Riverside next took John Muir to camp, 24-14. Phillian scored once in the second quarter and Linane twice in the fourth. Rodarte converted for three points. Muir scored in the first and fourth quarters, taking the lead each time. Phillian, Reed, Miller, Stevens, Flint, and Guercio were strong on offense. Hartnell (practice Hailed as one of the top junior college teams in the nation, Hart- nell came to Riverside expecting a somewhat easier time than the final score, 38-20 in their favor, would indicate. For the Tigers, Cox scored in the third quarter, Ledfors and Reed in the fourth. Tommy Ricketts did some great passing. Chaffey (Conference) Somewhat disappointingly, the Bengals emerged from the Con- ference opener with no better than a 6-6 tie against Chaffey. Losing the ball four times on fumbles and having a 31 -yard touchdown pass play called back, Riverside players and rooters alike had something of a bad night. The lone score came late in the third quarter after Ricketts shook loose for 32 and 14 yard gallops to put the ball on the Chaffey 10. On the fourth pass attempt he hit Phillian in the corner of the end zone for the TD. A Linane to Phillian pass netted grossed 63 yards in the third quarter, but the threat bogged down inside the 10. Orange Coast (Conference) A 13-6 win from Orange Coast was the Tiger ' s first over the pirates since the two schools began their rivalry in 1948. This also brought the Tigers back into the Eastern Conference race as a definite threat. Linane, Cox, Phillian, Miller, Rodarte, Martinez, and Guercio played a strong game, with Martinez scoring in the second quarter to make it 6-6. The Tigers broke the deadlock in the third quarter when Cox put on a beautiful display of broken field running, scored from 30 yards out. Freeman kicked the extra point. Fullerton (Conference) Fullerton ' s first win over Riverside since 1948, cleared the title path for the Hornets. The game could have gone either way. Linane tallied the first Tiger touchdown on an 1 8-yard spurt around 30 K ontendi OPd end. Reed, Freeman and Rodarte shone with their open-field blocking. Martinez sped 12 yards for the second touchdown in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter the Bengals lost the ball on the one-yard line when a TD would have tied the score. One Fullerton tally came with only seconds to play in the half. The Hornets also took the ball at a strategic moment when officials reportedly called a play fourth down instead of third. Mt. San Antonio (Conference) The Tigers played a terrific game against Mt. Sac. Both touch- downs on the winning side of Riverside came in the first half. Riverside scored i n eight plays through long runs, chiefly by Ricketts, but with Phillian crossing on a 15-yard scamper. Cox scored in the second quarter on a 35-yard play and Butler made the extra-point try good. Santa Ana (Conference) In their Conference clash with Santa Ana the Tigers duplicated their pre-season 13-0 win, but showed even greater strength. Ricketts scored both touchdowns. Rodarte, whose line crashing was consistently effective, converted once. Jim Jordan handled the tailback chores with the Tigers in their spread. Phillian, Reed and Freeman were defensive sparkplugs. San Bernardino (Conference) Thanksgiving Day battle for the bell was disappointing in that Riverside was an even choice and spirit was high. San Bernardino scored quickly and turned back every Riverside attempt to retaliate early in the game. In the fourth quarter, how- ever, the team broke loose with a furious attack that netted two touchdowns and a conversion by Rodarte. Final score was River- side 13, San Bernardino 20. JUST FOR VARIETY-Football players also do other things. Note Tom Ricketts, above right, trundling dishes in the Pit and Tom Linane busy with a book. HONORS Cal Phillian, No place on the 10, won a all-Southern California team selection as well as Eastern Conference. Tom Ricketts, No. 54, was second string all-Southland and first string all-Conference. Guard Jerry Freeman was picked on the second string a II - Conference. Conference honorable mentions went to Center Clyde Stephens, Tackle Ralph Guercio, and Backs Rodarte, Linane and Reed. GUARDS-Lefl to right: Gerald Deleo, Jerry Fi Jolm Rutli, :...i!; f. on duact ' FOOTBALL is essentially a team game. When a passer has good protection, it means that the line is holding, and when a ball carrier brings the crowd to its feet with a long run, some bruising blocking may have been over- looked. Coaches drill squad members on their particular duties, so that plays will fit together, and the game seen from the eyes of a coach is quite different from the game seen by the average spectator. The spectator follows the ball. The coach follows the play itself and watches to see whether each man carries out his assignment. On these pages the Tequesqulte presents the 1953 squad, largely through the positions they played. ADVANCE HALTED-Tom Linane is finally brought down after a good gain in the Orange Coast game.

Cauxcc Q Taaniza tionS f Sc cene I Well now let ' s see, 16 units, and I ' ll probably have to get a job part time at least. Should I or shouldn ' t I? The question that causes Dominic Felicetta to scratch his head is whether he should join an organization. It ' s rather obvious that Dominic has already joined one organization— just take a look at that Freshman beanie. Sc cene 11 Question answered to the satisfaction of all con- cerned. Here we have our young hero Dominic busily engaged plucking the strings. He has changed caps, donning the uniform of the band. There are two brands of bands— pep band for games and swing band for dances. The shadow of things to come, you might say is cast on the wall at Dominic ' s back. He has joined an organization and he is on his way. Sc cene 111 What ' s this? Who are all these people? Not much of a mystery, really. Dominic has arrived. In a sense, he came, he saw, and he conquered. He is the master of his fate, and the leader of the band, subject to direction by Evan Vail, instructor.

It was a complex job. Reporters found it time-consuming but fascinating to run down news sources for an interview, find a peaceful moment in Room 28 to type the story, and sum- marize it in a headline of just the right number of letters. Other staff members hustled around selling ads, figured out how to get all the important happenings reported in a four-page paper, and even helped put the type in place in the print shop. Trained in this hard school of junior college journalism, W. R. Williams got himself a job with the sports department at the Enterprise and then went on to edit the first student paper at UCR. Although they weren ' t present when these pictures were taken. Staff Members Betty Fleming, Hannah Corbin, Jim Hildebrandt, and Paul Rayman assumed their full share of the production problems. 38 it anS COVERING THE CAMPUS, every- thing from athletics to zoology field trips, kept a small Tiger Times staff more than busy this year. And yet, harrass ed as they were by deadlines, the journal- ists managed to get into their copy that extra something that reflected the rich variety of campus life. AVID READERS-Everybody made a grab for the IT when it hits the streets. Here, checking up on the latest news are Bev- erly Johnson and Larry Barrett in the back- ground and upfront Janet Jones, Sue Tegland, and Lenore Tegland. POST-MORTEM— Advertising Manager Carolyn Butler shows Advisor Arthur Knopf a thing or two about an issue just off the press while Feature Editor W. R. Williams wonders grimly who was there when proofs were read on his controversial column. 39 NEGATIVE REACTION-Chief photographer George Hovanec is in a somewhat more contemplative mood than usual. Literally hundreds of his pictures were used in this book. HE APPROVES-Editor Norman Katz drinks a toast to ph otographic evidence that the book is going well. Katz approved of his staff. The staff approved of Katz. nnuat rKeport jj mi PRODUCTION of a yearbook begins in September, sometimes earlier unless the editor has taken for the hills. Main problem is to present students in their natural habitat, including events both serious and frivolous. The college too, through its various departments and physical assets is shown to advantage— at least such is the objective. Staff members make every effort to present all mem- bers of the student body in one vvay or another. For the first time this year we are presenting a three- color process feature picture made possible through the courtesy of the Rubidoux Printing Co. The Company, experimenting with the color process, was invited to experiment on us. PRODUCTION LINE-Advisor Robert L. Patton does a little advising about various and sundry pictures. Bev- erly Johnson, Joyce Paxton and Marilyn Enden, I. to r., appear to be taking the advice seriously. In ioining picture at right Albert Vanselow, Lynn Iseda, Simon Gonzales, and Ruth Pertel, I. to r., consider the merits of whatever Sharlene Jacobson may be writing. 40 L lie AN ANNUAL STAFF without a filing sys- tem is like a navy without ships. Gravity of the situation is portrayed by Carol Wilson, Bob Smith and Georgia Shockley, I. to r. In general, pictures come first. They are identified and filed by divisions. Later (not too much later) they are re-examined and placed in dummy page folders ready for sizing and makeup. Copy, ads, master dummy, bills, ideas— all have their place where staff members can find them— most of the time, that is. FOUND IT!

Ky HcialA A GOOD EXECUTIVE BOARD and a good student cabinet equal better student government. Important posts are filled by responsible people to whom students can take complaints and praises. We are assured of a job well done. The executive board consists of all elective Student Body officers. It initiates policies and activi- ties in keeping with the College constitution. The cabinet consists of appointive officers from the Student Body and club representatives. The cabinet works in close conjunction with the executive board. It nominates Student Body officers and receives ideas from students. 42 FOR OTHERS— Coeds boosting World University Service Fund, I. to r., are Judy Morgan, Betty Clark, Coke Meier, Dixie Hogan, and Betty Shelton. At Wod MULTIPLE ACTIVITIES are planned by student organizations. The Assembly Committee, for example, plans entertainments for campus enjoyment and for schools of the County. Publicity Com- mittee helps make possible the success of these and other im- portant functions. World University Service Fund group raises money for universities in foreign countries. All organizations, working together, provide the basic foundation for added touches inspiring to everyone. CAN YOU HEAR ME?-Sylvia Knittle was the glowing spark behind the the asssmblies.

O c JO ALL REGISTERED WOMEN are members of Associated Women Students, one of the most active organizations. The specific purpose of the group is to guide all women ' s affairs, such as social events and welfare projects. Annually they hold an informal tea to welcome new women and to make them feel at home. Their big spring project is the Dream Date Formal. Wel- fare and general service is their busi- ness throughout the year.

Ask any student. For example, ask Bill Happ who presents the intimate little tragedy in three acts portrayed on these pages. Of course there are special events with a lighter touch— all kinds of them— dances, parades, ping pong in the Pit, and that delightful date for the Christmas Formal. You will find these, and many other activities that add balance to college life presented in this section. (1 PREPARATION (2) ANTICIPATION AND (3) 46 CONSTERNATION! (An Instructor ' s added touch can be deadly) 47 THE TIME, THE PLACE and the music combine for college dances. First hop of the year was launched with great success by George Blatchford, social chairman. It was the Mixer (see top photo). In the circle the spotlight is on Rachel Diaz and Clarence Hooe swinging it out to the music of Raoul Sanchez. One of the highlights of the year was the Homecoming dance, an October event in the gymnasium. It is pictured at the bottom of page. Climaxing the dance was crowning of attractive Queen Barbara Waggaman. Photograph by Hov- anec was one of his prize takes of the year, see next page.

The picture, left to right, presents: One- half of Bud Smerber, Elsie Bowman, Sylvia Farber, Jim Carrol, Ray Rife, Joanne Royer, and Sallie Barton. OCCASION WAS HOMECOMING DAY Parade and general festivities to be climaxed by a football game (see sports). Almost at once, as if the earth had opened up, floats began to appear and jam the traffic lanes, horns began to blow, people to shout, bands to play, banners to wave and traffic officers to note the procession with cynical eye. Parade participants pictured across the bottom of this page and the next page, left to right, are: Carol Wilson, Sylvia Farber, Elsie Bowman, Sue Tegland, Barbara Murray, Janet McMillan, Lenore Tegland, Sheria Olson, Shirley Woods, Pepper Jackson, Coke Meier, Janet Jones, Rene Beatty, Rosemary Hoyt, Joyce Paxton, Shirley Spencer, Dorothy Thorson, Bernice Bode, Jo Anne Minor, and Janet Christopherson. ' i 5 9 P ' nzeA THE ADDED TOUCH in float making paid off, thanks to the watchful eye and keen critical appraisals of the judges. You can see them soberly at work in the cen- ter-right photograph, Dean Ralph Bradshaw, and Cecil Stalder. After due delibera- tion they awarded the grand prize to the Kappa Upsilon entry.

If you happen to be chosen queen, or are a candidate for something, you can ride in the front seat. TIGER AND TITANS THE WINNER THE JUDGES Cc am ipuA FLOATING SOFTLY like a bubble through the air, though not always as quietly, the added touch is everywhere. College men put down their books and for a memorable moment classes are forgotten. The center of attraction may be a new game, a girl, or a toy. Just as the bubble must break and disappear, so must the diversion, and those few pleasant moments are gone forever. But others come to take their place. Each time a bubble breaks another appears. BLOW GENTLY-A glistening bubble attracts attention to Ralph Guercio, Tom Linane, and Kenny Cantwell.

What with assemblies, and plays and operas and dances and teas, a man can usually take a date to a good show without mortgaging the car.

Peck explains a geological formation to a formation of students and cars. hls oo ALWAYS IN LINE for something, members of the Riverside College Student Body check in for trips, classes, food, fun, and a generally wide variety of activities. Trips are fun even if you have to hike to learn. How to get along socially is one of the most important lessons in the extra- curricular class schedule.

III! -i JL I vm PING PONG PANIC— Jerry Nelson seems to be really carried away with his prowess as an artist of the ball and paddle. Of several photographs, his seemed best to convey the spirit of the game which swept in one day with placement of tables in the pit. Enthusiasm mounted and con- tinued for several months. It was something new— new for the campus— and was climaxed by a tournament won by Roger Groza who received a radio as a prize. 55 DANCING ROOM ONLY-Dreamdate couples (at least when picture was taken) are, I. to r.: Cecil Johnson, Helen SMILES— No added touch is more infectious than a smile. Tommy Ricketts and Marge Foster, dream date, show how, and for good reason. festivities and ood CHRISTMAS FORMAL— Soft lights, smooth music, wintery decorations, white formals, and the romantic Mission Inn provide the perfect setting for a Christmas dance.

What ' s a day on the campus without a letup for a hamburger, or a hotdog, or a full lunch, even with turkey or chicken on occasion? You cannot eat your cake and have it too, or so it ' s said, but who wants to keep it anyway? Pies, biscuits, salads— you call it, they have it. Left to right, in top photo: OIlie Greenhaigh, Ecile Hawks, Mildred Fisher, and Florence Whitmer. Oven check is made by Leona Rife and Edith Schlocohm, left to right. Preparing the noon meal is a major task, but not the only chore of the culinary staff. Often they work overtime on party refreshments and food for such events as Senior Day. STAFF SELECTION-We introduce in the photo- graph at right, Mrs. Norman Katz. The gentle- man with her happens to be the editor. The staff selected this photograph, without too much of an argument from Norman. Of all the added touches, none can compare with romance, certainly not when the bride is so attractive. DETERMINATION-Tommy Ricketts, high scorer and mainstay of the 1954 basketball squad, demonstrates an elusive speed. (l5aAhetball 58 SERIOUS MOOD— Coach Glenn Gilkeson, who had a rough enough season to sober any coach, gazes into the crystal ball. What he saw wasn ' t too encouraging. Producer of many champion- ship teams, Glenn taught his players that a man can learn by losing too and still have a good time. (I5nep6 IN SOME WAYS the 1954 basketball season was highly successful. Obviously destined for a dismal scoreboard record, the team stuck to their guns and played hard through the final game. The extraordinary spirit of a relatively inexperi- enced squad, matched against skilled opponents, brought high praise from the student body. Final Conference game was played to a relatively large section of fans who turned out for Loyalty Night, a tribute to a squad that wouldn ' t stop trying. LOYAL FRIENDS-Loyalty night list signed by student backers of the squad is admired by Bob Frazier, Tommy Ricketts, Mimi Neault, and Bob Billingsley. f MANAGER-Harold Brinkerhoff, like any good manager, usually had his hands full— witness this photograph.

J lahllahL nu . Win-wise the Riverside College basketball team reached the bottom of the depression this season but spirit- wise stayed at the top. Standout was Tommy Ricketts who ended the season with a 15 point game average and a center spot on the all-Southland third team. Fullerton, king-pin of the loop for several years, waltzed through to another championship and then went on to take the State title. Riverside and the Hornets met in the final game on the Riverside floor before a relatively large loyalty night rooting section. In the first half the Tigers put on a scrappy show of determination and Ricketts scored 14 points before he was whistled off for five personals just before the half ended. Riverside ' s main hope for a conference victory was against Santa Ana, but here too the Saints held on to win 57-50 in the first game and 66-49 in the second. A good showing also was made against Orange Coast in the first round, the Tigers losing, 48-63. 31 recidion f- iuA TECHNIQUES in basketball de- mand constant practice. River- side players practiced long hours, showed constant im- provement. The season just wasn ' t long enough for practice to pay off on the winning side of the scoreboard.

Ever decorate for a dance? Affairs begin calmly enough in September, but pick up speed as the seasons progress and the initiates go through their paces. There are added touches galore. Rivalry begins at the first of the year when club representatives rush to the office to sign up for management of activities that have already been planned for the coming semesters. Each club tries to make its activity a little snappier than the efforts of a rival or- ganization. ROOM AT THE TOP - Leota Oxford affixes sticker tape, Jerry Pair Of Coeds Climbing High _y t i lubi SOON ENOUGH the ivy-covered walls as vjeW as halls are literally transformed into campaign quarters for vigorous soliciting of votes, money, and ideas. Everyone ' s candidate is the best. Everyone ' s benefit fund has a more worthy cause. Come on, now, shell out! Almost every week is election week for queens of this and queens of that. Then there are more exacting posts to fill— Fresh- man class representative, A.W.S. vice-pres- ident, publicity chairman. Please don ' t use scotch tape when you fix that poster to a door! i Valfers supervises, and Judy Painter plays supporting role. Jerry Walters Is The Guy! POLITICALLY MINDED-Junior Lions most actively supported their candidate for dance queen by putting up over 700 posters in every conceivable spot. Don Moss even climbed a tree for the king of beasts. 65 GETTING TOGETHER, so they say, is what people like to do, particularly when there is a purpose in the gathering. It takes a lot of getting together to keep a good club func- tioning properly. All sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds must cooperate to carry out plans for fun, service and study. Members of other clubs and students too busy to take part in club work, share in the general programs many of which are intended to keep things lively and of value to the student body. NAME, PLEASE— Lynn Iseda helps identify club members. Club picture day on the campus is fun for most— good solid work for the staff. Names spelled incorrectly are the wrong kinds of added touches.

Every club enters into spirit of things. Sometimes it ' s hard to recognize the girl you sit next to— particularly when she straggles into the classroom with her hair in pin curlers, the delicate arch of brow smeared over with paint and more likely than not wear- ing a sack-like gown of burlap. Daisy Mae has nothing on the coeds during times of trial when veteran club members make up for the stunts they were put through the year before.

When the dimes were counted, the total net was in excess of $800. Promotional committee, pictured at right, included Phil Delano, Mari- lyn Mansholt, and Bill Moody. Seldom a week goes by but what some club, with a pet project, hauls out tables and chairs and takes up a prominent spot on the campus.

NOT OFTEN, but from time to time over the years, a relatively small student body such as our own, basks in the reflected glory of a champion who goes far on the national scene. Such a competitor is Joanne Royer, Junior National A.A.U. synchronized swimming champion. In April, Miss Royer took third place in the national open championships and was given a royal wel- come on her return to the campus. In debating what photographs should be used for a division page introducing spring sports, the decision was not hard to make. Not only is Miss Royer a champion in her own rights of a sport that finds the headlines in the spring, but she is extremely photogenic as well. We are sure you will agree. For the first time in many years Riverside College failed to enter dual meet competition in track. Not enough men turned out to make up a balanced squad. Athletic surprise of the year (just as this page went to press on April 30) was the fine showing made by Roger Lewis, Jerry Nelson and A. J. Neal in preliminaries of the Eastern Confer- ence meet. For results see a later page. Otherwise the spring schedule of activities was in high gear as these pages went to press. The baseball team was off to a highly encouraging start. Golfers were whacking away. The tennis team was in mid-schedule, and the girls, too, were in full stride— rolling for strikes, shooting arrows at the bullseye and otherwise keeping in trim. Naturally, the photographer took a look round with what effect you will see on the following pages. RHYTHM— It ' s easy if you know how. Joanne Royer displays grace in synchronized swimming which has brought her national recogni tion. Hers is the added touch supreme. 80 m ig B K r _ . • - fci.iBi 1 v yr ' asiP - X so THAT ' S HOW I LOOK— Miss Royer, it would appear, is watching herself in action. It ' s nice, too, to relax once in a while. 81 ( baseball WITH A RECORD TURNOUT of 35 including seven returning lettermen, Coach Paul Roby ' s baseball team promised to be a strong contender for the championship. The Tigers started out strongly, winning four out of five of their first Conference games. After their first setback to Chaffey, 5-4, they v ent into a slump, losing to Orang e Coast, 9-0. They then bounced back to defeat Mt. San Antonio, 3-1, only to drop two to Santa Ana and Fullerton, 5-2, and 3-1 respectively. On May 6 they defeated San Bernardino, 4-2, with Perine pitching. At press time the Tigers, in Conference play, had won six and lost four. The hitting of Tom Ricketts, along with his sterling mound work earned him the name most valuable player. Richard Cox, left fielder last year, was placed at shortstop and added spark to the team with his timely hitting. Co-captain Benny Martinez, with sparkling infield play, set the pace defensively. John Ragsdale was experiencing a good sea- son on the mound, as was Larry Rhyner, converted first baseman. With an abundance of Freshman prospects, Coach Roby anticipates continued strength next year. TIME TO SPARE— Larry Schimpf scores easily in a game with Santa Ana. Shadow on left margin is not too easily recognized as an umpire. NO NEED TO SLIDE-This action shot presents Jim Close changing his mind about the need to slide for home. Apparently the relay was wild. Pi au6 f SHORTSTOP-Richard Cox, short- stop and a reliable hitter as well, makes a nice fielding maneuver. if . . . I la uerA COMING DOWN-Catcher Larry Schimpf gets rid of his mask to keep his eye on a pop-up. ■ TALK IT UP-Coach Paul Roby leans over the dugout fence to make a spirited observation about whatever is taking place on the diamond. NEED REPAIRS?-Harold Brinkerhoff likes to help out. He found his background gained as basketball manager a help in baseball. IL STRIKING POSE-Outfielders Jim Close, Leroy Bufler and Robert Munoz, left to ngtit, take a stance with the willow. s CONFERENCE-Could be a double play they have in mind. First baseman, Roljert BMlmgsley, Royce Ernest, second base, and Ben Martinez, third sacker, talk things over. 84 S core djoard S Riv.

This lineup (yes, they ' re stand- ing on the dugout roof for the picture) includes, left to right: Kenneth Cox, Wes Ferine, Tom Ricl etts, John Ragsdale, and Larry Rhyner. WINNER — Roger Lewis, Eastern Conference javelin champ, sights down the shaft. Roger is also an enthusiast of weight lifting. The javelin will really disappear when he gets a little more practice. REWARD-Jerry Nelson, left, holds first-place medal in Conference meet high jump. A. J. Neal, broad jumper, looks on. Wretch Surprise of the year vs as Riverside ' s showing in the Eastern Conference track and field championships held on Wheelock Field. The three-man squad, including Roger Lewis, Jerry Nelson, and A. J. Neal, accounted for nine points. Lewis won the javelin with a toss of 168 feet, 11 inches; Nelson cleared 6 feet 1 ' ' 2 inches to tie for first in the high jump, and Neal leaped 20 feet 5 inches in the preliminaries. Bad luck with the takeoff board prevented Neal ' s scoring in the finals. Lewis ' javelin mark was also second best in Southland junior college ranks. Remarkable part of the story is that he hadn ' t even worked out until the final meet. Early in the season it was announced that Riverside would not field a team — not enough men having turned out. Consequent- ly a relatively good showing in the Confer- ence tests was a happy surprise to all con- cerned. .ii f aeiSSl«3 l Sj] CHAMPIONS— Riverside College golf team, coached by Glenn Gilkeson, swept aside all opposition to win not only the Eastern Conference dual match championship but the Conference medal tournament as well. In the latter event held at Los Serranos Country Club, the Tigers set a new scoring record with a five-man total of 435. The best part about it, Gilkeson said, is that most of the team will be back next year. Dual meet scores were Riverside 1 1, San Bernardino 5; Riverside 10, Santa Ana 5; River- side 13V2, Chaffey IV2; Riverside 8, Mt. San Antonio 7; Riverside llVi.San Bernardino 31 2; Riverside 13 ' 2, Orange Coast IV ' 2. Pictured above, left to right, are Coach Gilkeson, Jim Martin, J. H. Holt, Pete Chavez, Fritz Ledfors, Jim Carroll, Benny Serenil, and Marion Alley. NET RETURNS— Riverside tennis team fared not so well on the courts but played with en- thusiasm under the guidance of Coach William Mitsch. Following are the results of matches: Long Beach 8, Riverside 1; Orange Coast 9, Riverside 0; Chaffey 7, Riverside 2; San Bernardino 7, Riverside 2; Fullerton 9, Riverside 0; Mt. Sac 9, Riverside 0; Orange Coast 6, Riverside 3; Santa Ana 9, Riverside 0. Spafford, Timmons, Tate and Ray, were first, second, third and fourth singles respectively. Murphy, Waite, Taylor and Arron Katz alternated for fifth and sixth spots. Pictured below, left to right, standing, are: Don Tate, Arron Katz, Dennis Timmons, Bill Waite and Coach Mitsch. Seated, left to right, are Bob Taylor, Allan Spafford, Gary Ray and Bob Murphy. i iub i loteS WOMEN ' S SPORTS activities are variable during the year. With the WAA at the helm special events included a bicycle ride, potluck supper, fun night honoring Joanne Royer, national synchronized swimming champion, and other events. Pictured above are members of the golf class with Instructor Dave Sherringhausen helping Roberta Stotha rt, left, and Georgia Shockley get into the swing of things. Others, left to right, are Marta Keii, Roberta Peterson, Phyllis Penninger, Evelyn Irving, Rachel Diaz, Dorothy Buchanan, Shirley Peterson, Mary Bonnett, Mary Judge, Bar- bara Harris, and Joyce Paxton. At right Mrs. Catherine Huntley, P. E. instructor and WAA advisor, gives Roberta Stothart a tip on how to hold a racket. 88 DOWN THE ALLEY— Lynn Anglemeyer made news in the spring when she rolled a phenomin- al 221 to set a high score for the coeds. Better scores have been made, but Lynn ' s achieve- ment came in her first year of bowling. She began the season by wobbling the ball precari- ously near the gutter but climbed steadily. So unusual was her improvement that she was the subject of a feature article by a City daily sports scribe who cited her improvement as one of the unusual sport notes of the year. 89 prina ueclaiJ mnna _jp IN THE SPRING everybody ' s fancy turns to thoughts of getting away from it all— at Laguna for example. This picture, presenting Beverly Mattade, teasing the tide, shoves why. Note complete absence of books and in- vigorating change of scenery. We let the snap-shotters take over on the next page. After vacation came the final tryst with the tests, interspersed with lively doings pictured in this special section. Top to bottom, left to right, next page, are Beverly Griffith, Janet Christopherson, Larry Rhyner, Jim Close, Betty Clark, Tim Anderson, and Carolyn Kjolseth. Wmu S AFRAID? — Well, maybe we are. Gretel, piayed by Barbara Murray, tells her little brother Hansel, played by Jean Brocket, that those woods over there are awfully spooky. Under direction of Dr. Edwin Sayre and Marcella Craft, Hump- erdink ' s opera, including gingerbread children, angels and all, turned out to bs most sucessful. i auakt f DRAMA AND MUSICAL programs are much more than the actual stage per- formances. The added touches are why directors wish frantically for the month of June. Tryouts come first— actors, singers, cos- tumes, props, lighting, musicians, stage crews. Where ' s the man to make the noise when the gun is supposed to go off? Major musical production, the opera Hansel and Gretel, opened to a mati- nee audience of junior high school boys and girls, a warmup for the evening shows on two consecutive nights. The Music Department developed bands, vocalists, and choirs for college programs, public appearances and the road tour of County high schools. Maestros Sayre, Vail and Stone were at the helm. PLAYS AND PLAYERS-Scenes on page at right present, top, left to right: Jay Porter (it wasn ' t fatal), Joanne Jones, Frank White and Sylvia Farber.

PANTOMIME— No words were needed in this hilarious scene presented by Norman Katz, Bill Happ, and Tom Chamberlain, I. to r. The infantryman hadn ' t seen a girl in seven years— re- member? OffSt uae f ' TRAVELING . SSEAABLY was a major drama and talent project under direction of Evan Vail and Chester Hess. The cast included 43 students. Purpose of the traditional road show is to entertain and to encourage further inquiry by high school seniors as to what Riverside College might offer. Places of call included Riverside High School, Coachella, Beaumont, Redlands High, Perris, and Hemef. SENIOR DAY was presented in the plural this year, with two occasions pro- grammed. On April 14, Poly High seniors thronged the campus to visit various departments, take in the show, and to secure counsel concerning their future educational plans. On April 28, 550 County high school seniors from several cities payed their annual call. Luncheon in the Quad was followed by entertainment and open house. Morning hours were devoted to counselling not only by college faculty members but by visiting au- thorities in numerous special fields. 94 y nd on FRANKIE AND JOHNNY was chosen for presentation by the Cosmetology Department in their annual long-awaited AAay show in the assembly. Cosmetologists, after scoring the hit-of-the-year last spring with their varieties program, en- tered into this season ' s program with the same vim and vigor. Frankie and Johnny musical background was provided by pianist Arlene Johnson. Leading roles were taken by Ralph Martinez Luengas, announcer; Leatha DeWitt, Frankie; Cliff Soil, Johnny; Charlie Goodman, Nellie BIy; Elsie Bowman, sheriff; Ruby Griffin and Elenor Radford, bartenders. Narrator was AAaxine Green. The show was self-directed and self-produced by the Cosmetology Department, a major ef- fort, a change of pace, and an added touch indeed in contrast to the 1600 hours of theory and practice work required to become a li- censed beautician. SOLOIST— Melodious voice of Leatha DeWitt decries the actions of Johnny. ENTER THE DEVIL-Shirley Skaggs, below, plays a dramatic role as the devil confronting Cliff Soil as Johnny. ri FOR EXPLOSIVE display of energy, for creative initiative, and for just downright who-cares-how-l- look, nothing excells Scrounge Day on the College campus. It ' s dov ' nright dangerous not to look your worst. Photograph above indicates student interest as the campus throngs take in doings of the day. Among the more recognizable are Registrar Earl AAcDermont, Annette Crouch, Florence De Stephano, Tom Ricketts, AAoe Eaton, John Masiak and Ben Johnson.

' • ' ' ' 2), GIA sponsor Scrounge Day, backed by the student body. After a day of mild and not-so-mild frenzy a Scrounge ball was held in the Pit. Here Jim Close, Bruce Kopp and Bob Archibald received appropriate prizes of razor blades, shaving lotion and shaving cream. Coeds joined in the merry making, dressed impeccably, of course. Models above are Florence Gruber and Beverly AAattade, I. to r. WANTED— For impersonating an instructor, Robert L. Patton, last seen as student on Riverside College campus in 1928. Charged with disrupting morale by coining insidious puns. Definite scrounge-day type. No re- w ard whatever. Solemn moments have their place. Kjradi uateS L ON THE NIGHT OF JUNE 17 at 8 p.m. a solemn pro- cession will step forth info the quad. The procession will include about 130 graduates of the class of 1954, considerably more than last year ' s 104. The faculty, disguised by their academic robes, and school trustees will take part too. A BOOK IS A JOY and a treasure. A book can also be a hard taskmaster. The good student can balance his study and his recrea- tion, thus achieving a happy end in living. The book, then, becomes the servant and the light in the dark. Nerissa Paul, valedictorian, and Ray Blume, salutatorian, had a lot of fun helping to present this pictorial story with a moral. The valedictorian and the salutatorian will speak for the class, the choir will sing, and the roll will be called (including middle names) as degrees are conferred. At 9 o ' clock it will all be over, except for that mingled feeling of both joy and sadness. The College will have contributed with fond hope, the added touch for which it was conceived. Fun is a tonic. 99 c jradaateS ' 54 John H. Allen Riverside Ronald E. Barneft Joycetta Bear Riverside Walters, Okla. Richard E. Allman Riverside Jack H.
