T' NJ 5 ,if - 'Xu ip-, Wm g vu. H: S l ' A I ,Q -4' The shop, with Mr. Iversen as fac- ulty advisor and Mr. Charles Savage at the controls, has attracted many of the more manually oriented Webbites. On a good day, the quonset is a hive of activity: the buzz of the saws, the roar of the drill, the cacophony of sounds em- anating from the shop announce to the campus that boys are working . . . discovering the power which comes from labor, from creativity. Often before one of the home dances the scream and whine of the power saws could be heard trans- forming a pile of lumber into the island of Alcatraz, or some equally incredible creation. From Pomona College's floats to hydroplanes, from pseudo-Polynesian sculpture to lacerated and blistered hands . . . the shop was equipped and avail- able to help Webb School students build, and to build better.

Gaynor, Geremia, Chaffey, R. Atherton, Whitmore, Whyte, Erving, Thomas, Witalis. BLCDCK Old athletes never die, they iust fade away. No more did patrols of broom-bear- ing athletes march up and down the Chapel hill, no more did chorus lines of well-muscled legs perform at recess, and no more did shamed initiates dress in skirts, nylons, and Webb coats. Block W was ended, it was but a legend, and to the dis- may of candidates eligible for acl- mission in i959-60, the club pre- ferred to retire into noble seclusion rather than to initiate new members. The elite group pictured above and their graduated compatriots were found guilty in faculty court of un- gentlemenly conduct during initia- tions, and one year ago, their ac- tivities ceased. Instead of appealing the much-disputed decision, the un- happy athletes rested on their lau- rels, sporting their treasured Block W jackets and reminiscing.

SECOND ROW: Walker, Grandstaff, THE ORCHESTRA 'gf vpcf 126 Blow ye trumpets, blow. A With its ranks swelled to thirteen members, this year's orchestra set- tled down to earnest work under the baton of Mr. David Lepard, music director for the Pomona city schools. Under his guidance, the musty archives of Heifitz Hall were catalogued in quest of new music. These and Mr. Lepard's own re- sources supplied the orchestra with appropriate tunes. Although the fif- teen-piece ensemble did not loin the choir at the Christmas Program, the members determined to face the music, and gave a most successful performance one evening at dinner. The orchestra also played at Parent's Day and Commencement, while the brass ensemble, a new division, lent its pleasing strains to the dedication of Jameson Hall and to the Chapel. Although perhaps no philharmonic, the orchestra certainly offered en- ioyment and challenge to all its members.
