And it is this kind of answer by which we ask you to appraise the days you have spent here. Save the memories, use the experiences, aspire to the dreams. Grace Bird 8 Grace Bird, director, was the nucleus of this atomic B. J. C. during this transitional year. Her radiating smile, gracious manner, and captivating wit supremely enhanced the campus. Margaret Levinson- Levy -illuminated the J. C. office with her warm personality and genuine concern for student affairs. The dean of women is a favorite on the campus-even with her literature students. Mac, known officially as Leonard B. McKaig, dean of men, was kept busy this year, but his twinkling eyes and roguish grin were unfailing. . Returning from military service to become coordinator of veter- ans' affairs, Paul Freed handled this complicated task with a calm good humor which won the confidence of the spring's bumper crop of veterans. 9 . A novel application of aitornic power showed up in English classes instruc- ted by Jorgensen, Keough, Robinson, and Cannon. Many Shakespeare stu- dents were of the opinion that the course should be thoroughly denatured. l T . . ,, esting with VHF, this fact-finding board CAlbaugh, Young, Luke, and Jaggardl earnestly sought to find out what makes stu- dents tick. Very High Frequency. Then, too, the math department got busy preparing future calcu- lators in their favorite testing site-Elm Grove. Pananides, Hem- merling, and Dennis handled the equations.

Ii Lite still depends on the kitchen rather than the test tube, so say Moore and Kol- lenberg, home economists. Enthusiastic endeavor in the m u s i c department sent strains of celestial QD sound from the rooms ot'Clarl4 and Burt, while Uebele and Emer- son struggled in tangible art from the spirit of theiage. The less progressive pupils continued to express them- selves in English despite the foreign influence exerted by Forker, Schafer, and Letevre. Education of world business was stressed by Carson, Kinnear Holmes, and the absent Asperger. Moehnke and Frost labored to energize the weary student body Bringing the theoretical problems of tlwe future to practical appli- cation in the present were the technical specialists Lynn, Drennan Buckle, Stutzman, Cullimore, Perkins, Cross, Anderson, and Van Leuven.

The Christmas formal was the climactic social function of the winter season, while the get-acquainted picnic, assemblies, and other informal events all went to fill the semester with pleasant memories. Comprising the council were Pat Wells, Sara Stahl, Dick Hoover, Jean l-layes, George Simpson, Margaret Morrans, Paul Mason, Kay Knight, l-lelen Core, Barbara l.ee Farrell, Catherine Antongiovanni, Alene Jensen, Leonard McKaig, sponsor. S70 M79 New faces enhancing the executive branch ot student government were Emma Gibson, George Simpson, Ken Stoddard, Rocky Stone, Russ Kniften, and Don Cook.

D........., f'Z..-..,.l exmz tm coumil S bl First event of the year for the Associated Women Students was the hilarious kid party, to which sophomores, dressed as boys, es- corted the freshmen girls. A Christmas tea conveyed holiday greetings to women stu- dents and to visiting alumna. 30 Peggy Poteete, the sparkling vice-presi- dent who worked so hard on the kid party and then on the Sadie l-lawkins dance, was the logical popular choice for the typical Daisy Mae. The sight of Daisy Maes chasing their bearded Lil Abners was common during Sadie Hawkins week. Catherine Antongiovanni, likable and competent president, directed the A. W. S. council, comprised of Eleanor l-lilty, secre- tary, Emma Gibson, treasurer, Pat Van Meter, social chairman, Barbara Lee Far- rell, recreation chairman, and Eleanor l-lall, service chairman. Somewhere in her busy schedule, Margaret Levinson found time to serve this active organization as adviser. 31 ' ss .11 .,.,sWu,,... ,. J? Um The Associated Men Students started this year with a small, select group of men-8l-the en- tire male student body. But in the second semes- ter the men rose to their pre-war status as the most powerful organization on the campus. . Fall officers of the group were Richard Hoover, president, Jim Sagen, vice-president, Dean Van Zant, secretary-treasurer, and Gwynne Slack, publicity manager. These men, with Don Cook and George Simpson-in fact the entire A.M.S. -got off to a fine start with a Big Bean Feed, At Christmas they sponsored a turkey, duck, and chicken raffle, and restocked the treasury for the close of the semester. 32 Qi, Q r I, J.

At this meeting Ken Stoddard was elected president, Wayne Morrison, vice-president, Ed McAleer, secretary- treasurer, and D u d I e y Steele, publicity manager -an all-veteran councill Paul Freed succeeded Leonard McKaig as ad- viser, completing the mili- tary domination of the A.M.S. f Q, Orff: Mime 1 Arg. ,4. B.J.C.'s bi-weekly Renegade Rip was edited this year by Jean Hayes, with Paul Jorgensen patting her golden head in offi- cial approval. Barbara Lee Farrell as news editor, Gwen Stotts as feature editor, and Margaret Morrans and Pat Grant as service page editors struggled for complete and timely news coverage, while Sara Stahl and her business staff jug- gled finances to keep publications solvent. 34 PUMP 7FW!f?!Zf WWF!! With ears to the campus keyholes, the Public Re- lations Council, members of which are chosen by students of the previous year's council, worked to inform the public of the various activities of the student body and faculty. Screaming deadlines at this group was Miss Adelaide Schafer, faculty ad- viser, The council's capable handling of such stories as the play, Ah, Menl, the Christmas formal, the A.W.S. tea, and the Sadie Hawkins dance served to keep B.J.C. in the public eye and to let alumni in on these events. ' 35 70f'0f2z?zz? The contributors, compilers, and the general staff of the yearbook this year were headed by Editor-in-chief Helen Core. Working with her were Jean Stuart, Rocky Stone, Elsie McClure, Lorene Jensen, Jo Ann Jones, George Simpson, Georgina Friesen, and Peggy Stewart. The art work was capably handled by Beverly Stephen- son, Shirley Sweet, and Jotty Valle. Pat Wells, Dean Van Zant, Beverly Mettler, and Kathleen Knight took charge of the inci- dental photography. Mildred Fulton was typist and Miss Ade- laide Schafer advised the staff. 36 Sara Stahl as business manager of publications, was assisted by Mabel Berryhill, Beverly l-liatt, l-larriet l-lall, Beatrice Bender, Barbara Pothier, Emma Gibson, and Eleanor Hall. The communi- ty division section was their special worry along with the sales of the yearbooks. Though the future looked dark when our year- book began, through undinted effort-coertion, that is-it finally went to press and the atmo- sphere cleared for the staff once again. My lilly?

In other non-league games, Jack Frost's squad defeated the local high school and lnyo-Kern Naval Base, but lost to the Minter Field professionals, All in all, a gallantry-in-action citation to BJC's first post-war athletic unit. 38 , Beaver Hamilton David I I Jones Jasper Grafton Howard Ruby Stoddard Pappas Redferd Brown Cmanagerb Palmer Cscore keeperj 39 zf UPA r t Our track team this year was so speedy, as anyone can see by Downing McKee, that even the camera couIdn't catch them. 40 E' Organized last tall by B.J.C. water-lov- ers, was the Swimming Club. Through- out the fall and early in the spring semester the members met at the Elk's Club pool to swim. High-spots of the year were the visit of a swimming and diving instructor from Minter Field and a hot- dog party at the home of Marian Rademacher. Dorothy Meyn of the high school faculty was adviser to the group Esther Smith served as president with Marian Rademacher as vice- president and Florence Easton as secretary-treasurer. fynfw 4l U7 Delta Psi Omega, a national dramatics or- ganization, was open to all the members of that celebrated student body play, Ah Men! For their initiation, this group of hams presented two one-act plays which were distinguished principally by their spon- taneity. Miss Ethel Robinson-known to all as Robbie --advised the group. Officers tor the year are president, Georgina Friesen, vice-president, Nancy Beers, secretary, Elaine Hamilton, program chairman, Jo O'l-lare. 42 UT Wmbfzrf 43 Starter ofthe year was the club os- sembly, in which each club pre- sented in its best dramatic style its activities. Highlight of the mid- winter season was the Christmas as- sembly, which included A Child ls Born read by Miss Dorothy Dona- hoe and singing of the traditional Christmas carols. In a gayer mood was the annual Sadie Hawkins as- sembly with the typical Kangaroo Kort proceedings. Another spring success was the presentation by Delta Psi Omega of Sob Stuff and Poor Old Jim. Assembly chairmen for tall and spring were Pat Wells and George Simpson. YPXYFQUZZ? ffwfzff The Renegade Knights, men's honorary service organization, again came into the picture this year under the sponsorship of George Sagen.
