Text from Pages 1 - 178 of the 1955 volume:

Time, Need, and Inspiration combined to produce this first ON-THE-HILL edition of the PROSPECTOR. In 1949 our campus was no more than a converted apartment building of 13 class- rooms with a total of 160 students. The fall of 1951 saw faculty and students con- vened in a maze of activity—workmen and students intermingled, and the noise of trip hammers and buzz saws accompanied lectures on the new “temporary” campus. By 1953, 2500 students were enrolled. In a few years, attendance soared to 4500. Expanding interests of the student body gave birth to new and varied activities; the faculty perfected teaching techniques; competition spurred academic achieve- ment; athletic prowess developed rapidly; progress became the standard. With true pioneering spirit, the ’49ers made tremen- dous strides in every direction. But the Time had come; the Need was obvious; and Inspiration expressed the trend. Today—with the completion of many fine buildings, enlarged curricula, and im- proved facilities to meet our needs—the campus ON-THE-HILL has come to life. The staff, therefore, invites you to review 1955 through your new PROSPECTOR, whose keynote is E-X-P-A-N-S-l-O-N. l 1955 PROSPECTOR PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS LONG BEACH STATE COLLEGE 6201 EAST ANAHEIM ROAD LONG BEACH 15, CALIFORNIA 2 1 BARBARA FRIENDSON JOYCE VAN EVERY JIM MOORE PRENT YANDELL GERALD BOREN ARNOLD MOSS LOU-NELLE MILLER MAUREEN BROWN BURT CARSTENSEN WAYNE TAYLOR TANIA HOFFMAN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ART EDITOR MANAGING EDITOR COPY PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOGRAPHY ADMINISTRATION ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES SPORTS GRADUATES PROSPECTOR STAFF Jackie Bowen, Sandra Stafford, Judy Sugita, Bill Johnson, Gus Kroll, Dave Butler, Fred Markle, Chuck Beeson, Dick Petrie, Dave MacPherson ART COORDINATOR Mr. Stan Hodge FACULTY ADVISOR Dr. Wilfred James 3 I CONTENTS GROWING ADMINISTRATION 5 EXPANDING SCHOOL LIFE 15 BIGGER AND BETTER ORGANIZATIONS 49 ACCENTED ACTIVITIES 83 AMPLIFIED ATHLETICS 111 MORE AND MORE GRADUATES 129 ;-Vt - Av-sa' ■ • i, 02 SS J? §S$fc • ia '■'• tl W’V :u Mffi '� Ix“ •■ ' ..$ J. iw HB •- Sgfe; | ri;': '-' ;Ji- ■•• '•;• •• . .-i ■'••.. v .: . .v. ;• : :.i4 -‘■•i -- -v •■ ■' '-7 :.- $5-, 48 ' jgH' • f; ,0 'M Ja ! . “Move that plot of ground, string up those timbers, and break out the brick and mortar!” These might well be the words of an energetic foreman or contractor ON THE HILL right now.

GROWING ADMINISTRATE D' DAY AT STATE ClVCUiUl D TOUR—Pointing out pcrmoncnt structures ond extensive landscaping on the Upper Campus, President Peterson escorts Supt. Roy Simpson (left) and Lt. Gov. Harold Powers on a tour of the campus prior to Dedication Ceremonies. On Saturday afternoon, May 7, 1955, the buildings of the CAMPUS ON THE HILL were dedicated in the Lit- tle Theatre. Gathered to carry out and witness the cere- monies were college faculty, city officials, interested citizens, and many state and local educators. Between these people a common bond existed: some were direct- ly associated with State since its inception, and many others were indirectly responsible for its fantastic growth. Presiding at the occasion, Advisory Board Member Law- rence A. Collins, Sr., made some prefatory remarks about Long Beach State College and introduced the many dis- tinguished platform guests. Lieutenant Governor Harold J. Powers spoke of the tremendous growth throughout California. He cited the significance of LBSC in this expansive trend and then proceeded to make a formal presentation of the buildings. State Superintendent of Public Instruction Roy E. Simp- son accepted the documents from Governor Powers, stating that “our college will become one of the largest and strongest in California's system.” He, in turn, pre- sented the documents to President P. Victor Peterson, who traced the history and development of LBSC since its origin as LAOCSC (Los Angeles-Orange County State College) in 1949. He expressed an awareness that “we must live up to the functionally modern structures through academic acumen.” Through the civic-minded Independent, Press-Telegram and the coordination of Mr. Don M. Muchmore, the pub- lic found an entire section of Friday's paper devoted to the phenomenal growth of LBSC and its importance to the community. Everyone was invited to view the new structures at a general open house Sunday afternoon. In an editorial on the dedication ceremonies, the Press- Telegram had this to say: “Long Beach State College is the most modern of the lot. It has an excellent faculty, high standards of scholarship, and up-to-date facilities. It will continue to grow because it is strategically locat- ed and because it can provide a good product.” We of the PROSPECTOR staff think this optimism is justified and look forward to a brilliant future for this youngest of all the California state colleges. CAMPUS CHANGES HANDS—Lt. Gov. Harold J. Powers presents the first increment of new buildings to Supt. Roy Simpson, who lotcr handed them over to President P. Victor Peterson. 5 AND THEY STUDY BY NIGHT EDUCATION . . . NIGHT AND DAY SELF-SERVICE in the stacks NO IVY YET, but just wait PARKING ... A subject of disCUSSion Long Beach State College is truly begin- ning to unfold. During the spring semes- ter we moved into the first complement of permanent buildings; and now, the upper campus is becoming a vista of lawns cov- ered with new trees and shrubs. The first wing of the science building, as well as the next classroom wing, is rapidly taking form. The cafeteria and administration building should go to bid within the next few weeks. The store and lounge are proving to be a delightful addition to the upper campus. The current capital outlay budget provides funds for a faculty office building, an addi- tion to the gymnasium, and the first of the music building. Next in order on the pri- ority list will be a large addition to the sci- ence building, a swimming pool to be lo- cated between the women’s and proposed men’s units of the gymnasium, an incre- ment to the fine arts building, another fac- ulty office building, a home economics unit, a large library addition, and further classroom buildings. Meanwhile, the pres- ent temporary buildings will be converted into industrial arts shops and practical science laboratories. When the school opens next fall, we shall have forty new faculty people, selected from the various universities of the coun- try. Many departmental expansions are getting underway, including a more com- plete program in business, in physical sci- ence, and in industrial arts. Several national fraternities and sororities have made their appearance during the past year and more will find a welcome home on our campus within the next sev- eral years. The athletic program is rapidly assuming collegiate proportions. Publica- tions are winning national recognition. The Little Theatre is a real joy, not only to the drama people, but to the entire college. All these are but a few of the significant gains made thus far at Long Beach State College. We are looking forward to continued growth, both physically and academically, for the next many years. It is our desire to keep expanding our program to meet the growing needs of this great community. P. VICTOR PETERSON 9 ADMINISTRATORS David L. Bryant, Ed.D. Executive Dean Robert D.

Added curricula and in creased academic facilities provide the means for that devefopmerit. Our SCHOOL LIFE begins with registration am classes are .augmented by experiments, pro) ccts, and demonstrations; more study and re search follow Then-come student teaching, speeches term papers, and final exams, putting theory into practice. In the following section we have endeavored to portray these aspects; efforts—lead to a fuller EVOCATION at Long Beach Statei College. EXPANDING SCHOOL LIFE REGISTERING THE INCREASE BUT with the new registrotion system in effect they didn't get much longer . . . BY LATE AFTERNOON, we felt we needed more then o chest x-roy . . .

Most of the division has established itself in the three arts buildings on the upper campus: the art wing, the language wing, and the Little Theatre. Music, home economics, and journalism are awaiting their turn to move. New areas developing in art are ceramics, illustration, and advertising design. Music expanded its band program this year and is getting set with new courses and a full-sized band. Home economics and family living, the newest area in the division, is developing a strong general education program with work in textiles, clothing, and foods. “Foreign languages will have two full-time instructors next year with courses leading to majors in French and Spanish,” says Dr. Cerveny. “Drama, with the thrilling Little Theatre, offers opportunities for work in technical theatre and in directing, to say nothing of doubling the opportunities in acting or working backstage. Steady, if not spectacular growth is revealed in English, speech, journalism, and philosophy by the fact that nine more staff members for these areas have been planned for next year.” These are the highlights of progress. The Division of Arts and Languages, like the college as a whole, is growing up. 16 Lawrence L. Peterson, Ed.D. Music Coordinator John W. Olson, Ed.D. Art Coordinator Blair C. Archer, M.Ed.

MOORE Chairmen DIVISION OF EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY Expansion of services to teachers of California and to all prospective teachers has been the impelling force in the de- velopment of the Division of Education and Psychology at Long Beach State College, according to Dr. Moore. The staff of the Division is expanding both in quantity and quality. Members of the staff, from all sections of the United States, have gathered at Long Beach to form a well-integrated, cooperative group, working toward the common good of more effective teaching. The growing population in the area around Long Beach calls for an extended concept of teacher training and a rapidly expanding philosophy of education. A new spirit of experimentation, of investigation, and of examination is essential. A dynamic educational philosophy is based on the premise that in our democratic society every child should have full op- portunity to develop his powers and capacities, to study and learn, to acquire knowledge and skill, and to achieve moral stability. The exceptional child, both gifted and retarded, receives equal opportunity with the normal under this ever- expanding concept of the basic philosophy of education. A close partnership with the home and the community must be emphasized. The division has expanded so rapidly that it is already outgrowing the new section of offices set aside on the upper campus. The view from the top of the hill is both beautiful and stimulating and is symbolic of the increased responsi- bilities for the faculty. 23 EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY FACULTY Roy C. Anderson, Ed.D.

The staff h3S grown to thirteen, with background experience representing six different states and nine different colleges and universities. The teacher-education program is currently preparing some 140 men and women for teaching physical education at the secondary school level and for professional service in recreation. The fall semester of 1955 will mark the advent of a program leading to the master of arts degree in Physical Education. “Expansion is represented, athletically, by the entrance of football into the program for the first time. The inter-collegiate offerings will now include all sports except aquatics and gymnastics,” says Dr. Montgomery. Facilities are keeping pace with this growth and include excellent areas for conducting track, baseball, tennis, basketball, and football. The current building budget includes another increment for the physi- cal education plant, which will include a men’s gymnasium and locker room, additional office space, classrooms, and special area teaching stations. A swimming pool is planned for the following year, and this will complete the physical education plant. 30 Corinnc Crogen, Ed.D. Physical Education Walter C. Crowe, M.S. Physical Education Marcel J.

DIVISION OF NATURAL SCIENCE The Division of Natural Science has contributed substantially to the general growth of Long Beach State College. Beginning in 1949 with a limited curriculum in science and industrial arts, the division has expanded to include majors in biological science, physical science, mathematics, nursing, and in- dustrial arts. Expansion in industrial arts has been paralleled by rapid growth in this area. Physical science and ma- thematics have developed rapidly and as soon as the demand warrants and facilities permit, expansion into the master’s degree in these areas will be realized. The science program also meets pre-profes- sional requirements and is on the approved list of the American Medical Association for pre-profes- sional work. The nursing program currently has enrolled oyer 150 registered nurses who are earning the bachelor's degree. Completion of the first unit of the permanent science building ‘ON THE HILL’ will permit further growth of the division, states Dr. Johnson. “In keeping with this development, we hope to meet the increasing demands for science instruction as completely and effectively as possible.” 36 Woltcr A.

GREGORY Chairman DIVISION OF SOCIAL SCIENCE The Social Science Division represents ten academic areas: anthropology, business, business education, economics, geog- raphy, history, political science, sociology, public administration, and social welfare. Enrollment in the division has been growing at a rate proportionately larger than that of the college as a whole. An outstanding faculty and an integrated philosophy of education are geared to help students solve their social problems in a contemporary world. Major functions of the division are (1) to serve specific academic and teaching majors in the respective social science fields; and (2) to serve the elective needs of students from other divisions of the college, as well as their general educa- tion, credential, and graduation requirements. The areas of business education, social welfare, and public administration represent new occupational majors now in the process of development. Members of the Social Science staff arc emphasizing classroom teaching and close student- faculty participation. Research is looked upon as a necessary part of good classroom preparation. In this world of dynamic and catastrophic change with its challenges to social man and his institutions,” says Dr. Gregory, I am sure the Social Science Division and its faculty will be increasingly recognized as an indispensable part of the team of outstanding educators which make up the staff of Long Beach State College.” 42 SOCIAL SCIENCE FACULTY Don M.

A natural outgrowth of expansion on any campus is the creation of new ideas and interests. There is no better way to further mutual interests than through ORGANIZATIONS. The fraternities and sororities, the service, social, and special interest clubs—all provide a common meeting ground for friendly as- sociations and the building of better personalities. But the results of GROUP EFFORT are never-ending. Campus organizations mean charities, scholarships, intramurals, dances, social and cultural programs— all a part of a rich extra-curricular life. Of real value to both school and community, our organizations play an important role in modern education—that is, “the education which students receive from one an- other.” With over forty groups now on campus and the quality of their enterprises much in evidence, it is a general truth that our organizations are get- ting BIGGER AND BETTER. BIGGER AND BETTER ORGANIZATIONS AREMACS “To encourage interest in campus photography and to teach novices the art” was the central theme in the genesis of Aremacs—one of the newest clubs on campus. Deriving its unique name by an inversion of the word camera,” the club was officially organized in November, 1954. A Christmas party was the first event, followed by field trips to Marineland and Cabrillo Beach and the sponsor- ing of a photo contest on ’49er Day. Adding prestige to its amazing growth, the club is helpful in providing needed pictures for campus publications. Dorcas Wilson presides over these “shutter- bugs, who arc co-sponsored by Dr. Frank Gorow and Mr. Simon Steiner. AREMACS — Kneeling: Dr. Gorow, P. Pritchard. Seated: D. Miller, D. Mitchell, R.

The honorary journalism fraternity has made possible an annual award rec- ognizing students of outstanding ability in this field. Criterion for this recognition is “meritorious service through work on campus publications.” By establishing unified and fraternal student inter- est in journalism, APG has generated individual progress in journalistic pursuits and promoted the welfare of the college. Raymond de Groat served as president in the fall and Dorcas Wilson was spring prexy. The chapter is sponsored by Dr. Wilfred P. James. ALPHA OMEGA Alpha Omega Honorary Educational Fraternity strives to promote professional growth, brotherhood, group and individual achievement, and inspiration in educational endeavor.

This year, in fact, veteran snowmen donated many hours from polishing their own techniques to teach the novices (“snow bun- nies”) the skills of skiing. Meetings were held semi-monthly since the group’s inception in the fall of 1954, but actual skiing remains the high point in Ski Club’s schedule of events. Weekend trips to Mammoth, and Alta, Utah; jaunts to the nearby slopes of Big Bear, Snow Valley, and Mt. Baldy were arranged under the leadership and guidance of President Hal Sweeny and sponsor Mrs. Maxine Merlino. 61 SOCIAL WELFARE CLUB Highlighting the service activities of the Social Welfare Club on campus was the Toy Loan Drive, held during the fall semester. A total of ten barrels of toys was collected by other clubs and indi- viduals and turned over to the Toy Loan Foundation. The Social Welfare organization was founded in the spring of 1954 to provide an opportunity for students to foster mutual interest in the fields of social welfare. Dr. David Dressier, advisor, has been a real inspiration to Jay Davis, fall president, and Pete Tarre, spring president. TAU KAPPA ALPHA SOCIAL WELFARE CLUB — P. Torre, J.

The purpose of the group is twofold: to promote Christian fellowship and to aid in religious instruction. Charter president is Darlene Kou- tunis. Rev. Ray Firth, Dr. Boyd Davis and Mr. Fred Woods are sponsors. 63 OMEGA ALPHA DELTA Gamma Chapter of Omega Alpha Delta was organized in April, 1952, as the first national honorary social and service sorority on campus. Membership consists of women in extended-day and evening classes who are in the professions of education, nursing, business, law, art, and music. Through com- bined effort, the evening sorority assists students during registration, holds monthly coffee hours, and grants a scholarship for a worthwhile day or evening student. Under the sponsorship of Dr. Lois Swanson and the gavel of Ula Sutherland, the club strives to promote higher education, service to the college and community, and achievement in all fields of scholastic endeavor.

The year 1949 marked the beginning of sorority life on the LBSC campus when Chi Delta Delta was organized. One of the biggest events of 1954 for Chi Delts was Brown and Gold Day when members designed the prize-winning float, representing the Iwo Jima flag raising. The proceeds from the annual Christmas Candy Sale are donated to the Exceptional Children’s Foundation. Through par- ticipation in the Lakewood Lion’s Carnival, the group contributed over $1,000 to charity. Although the club attained service and social achievement, scholarship has not been lacking. Chi Delta Delta was awarded the Panhellenic Scholarship Trophy for an outstanding grade point average. Assisting the club to uphold its purposes is Mrs. R. A. Kennelly, sponsor; Mrs. Karl Russell and Dr. Eliza- beth Nielsen, patronesses. Joanne Pagones led the club as president in the fall and turned the gavel over to Sandy McKay for the spring semester.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER—Pres. Cecelia Dennis receives the Phi Kappa Charter from Mrs. Kinnord, national president, at the March ceremonies. Thanksgiving Eve was a memorable occasion for the Tri-Delts this year. Formal pledging ceremonies took place commemorating the 66th anniversary when Delta Delta Delta was founded at the Univer- sity of Boston. Previously known as Kappa Phi Gamma, the sorority is the third nationally affiliated group to be located on the Long Beach State Col- lege campus. Phi Kappa is the 98th chapter of the national sorority. Some outstanding functions of the year were the annual Sweetheart Dance and the Needy Family Food Drive. At the first annual Stars and Crescent Ball, Dolores Dahlquist was named Tri-Delt of the year. Alice Heckendorf cap- tured the title of Blue Book Belle while Nedra Prouse secured Cal-Poly Homecoming Queen honors. Aims of the sorority are to establish a per- petual bond of friendship, to develop a stronger, more womanly character, and to broaden the moral and intellectual life of the members. Mrs. Ann Burch advises and Mrs. Lahoma Smith sponsors the chapter.

Three of the chapter officers ond their dotes disploy it here in the Lafayette Roof Ballroom. 72 This was a banner year for LBSC’s Sigma Kappas! The supreme event came on January 29, 1955, when the pledge group was officially installed as the Gamma Theta Chapter. Since then, the social calendar has been date-heavy. A mother- daughter dessert, the Pearl Ball, a surprise dance by the Mothers’ Club, the annual Violet Ball at Portuguese Bend, and the Founders’ Day Banquet at Pacific Palisades were just a few of the events. Through the combined efforts of its membership. Sigma Kappa strives for high academic achievement, evidenced by the chapter’s being awarded the scholarship trophy at the Province Conference in San Jose. The award is given to the chapter having the highest grade-point average over a two-year period.

Strengthening the tics of frienship means a great deal to Acacians throughout the world. The fra- ternity was founded at the University of Michigan in 1904. Of the 41 Acacia chapters throughout the nation, there are three in California, including the Long Beach colony organized last fall with 14 charter members. Qualifications for membership are limited to sons and brothers of Masons, or men sponsored by Masons. Approaching the end of their first year, Acacians can look back upon two suc- cessful semesters, which found them participating in all forms of campus activities: dances, parties, picnics, and exchanges with sororities. Leading the fraternity as president this year was Richard Tubbs. Sponsors are Drs. Wallace H. Moore, and James N. Wilson.

The fraternity is repre- sented in many phases of campus life by full participation in intramural sports, and by governing as class and student body officers. One of the main events of the year is the opera- tion of a Christmas Tree lot for the Long Beach Exceptional Children’s Foundation. “Hukilau,” an all school beach party, is a yearly social affair. To date the Sig Eps are first in intra- mural athletic competition. Primary objectives are: creation of a brotherhood of college men, scholastic encouragement, development of character, and service to the college and com- munity. President this year have been Chuck Davis and Tim Henney. Mr. Donald Muchmore is sponsor. Patrons are Drs. C. Thomas Dean, Halvor Melom, Walter Nagle, and Mr. Jack Bradley.

Gould to James Garren, sage of the newly installed Beta Omicron Chapter, high- lighted March ceremonies. Organized in the spring of 1953, Sigma Pi is still around, as evidenced by the following excerpt submitted by the brothers: We didn’t do much this year . . . had a few parties . . . the usual exchanges and annual March of Dimes dance ... oh yes . . . the stuffy Orchid Ball. Did do one thing, though, got installed. We’re now the BO (oops!) I mean Beta-Omicron chapter. Of course this meant another long-winded dinner. Scholarship was about average . . . a few guys flunked out, but we’ve got a couple of brains, so our average doesn’t look too bad. Did well in intramurals, but most of the time we were just out for kicks. Got some sharp singers, and did pretty well in Spring Sing . . . but then everybody gets lucky once in a while. A few guys liked to show their legs with Bermudas on B and G Day, and the float barely sputtered around the track. Have a few guys wandering around campus trying to look like politicians. Not much else though.” (Editor's Note: How the Tau Upsilon Rho boys have changed since they went national!) Jock Forney Ron Albertson Bcrnic Burke Bill Z.

Continuing where Alpha Kappa Chi, the local group, left off, the Tekes won the Inter-Fraternity Council scholarship plaque for the fourth consecutive time. Best known project of the national fraternity is the publishing of the annual College Directory. This year Tekes spon- sored a drive for magazines and pocketbooks for veterans’ hospitals. On the social side, the Delta Theta chapter of TKE held its annual Red Carnation Ball, yacht party, and enjoyed exchanges, picnics, and other parties. With Scl Handler as president, the fra- ternity saw another successful year. Faculty advisors are Drs. Robert Kennelly and Boyd Davis.

Change and innovation capture the mood; modern construction soars; a sense of challenge fills the air; students keynote their role on the campus scene; the emphasis is on all-school affairs. Combining individual answers to fun, work, compe- tition, and responsibility, Staters write the news . . . stage the plays . . . give the speeches . . . make the music . . . sing the songs. Some, on endless com- mittees and tiresome schedules, lay the plans for dances, assemblies, and publications, so that all of us may reap the benefits of a full campus life. Here, with the ACCENT on ACTIVITIES, is educa- tion beyond the classroom. ACCENTED ACTIVITIES AS EXECUTIVE COUNCIL Holding office for the entire year, the 1954-55 Executive Council met and surmounted the many prob- lems which face a growing college. The higher echelon kept busy approving c!ub constitutions, planning more student activities, and regulating the move of student life to the upper campus. In spare mo- ments the council expedited a streamlined constitution for the Associated Students. Under the leader- ship of A. S. President Willie Suzuki, this year’s Executive Council has been one of the most progres- sive in State’s history.

Many problems have been presented before the group and handled with care and expediency. Through the Council the commissioners were instrumental in the recent constitutional revisions approved by an overwhelming ma- jority of the student body. Dances, elections, intra-murals, and all school life have been handled efficiently and effectively by your commis- sioners. Revision of the IFC constitution was IFC-ISC one of the first things tackled by the council this year. A brochure welcom- ing new men students was written and designed as an orientation measure; and admittance of Acacia National Fraternity to the campus rounded out a full agenda.

ORCHESTRA The Long Beach State College Orchestra participates in the total educational pro- gram of the college. Some students gain experience which will serve them in teach- ing careers; all have first-hand contact with a performance art. The orchestra studies a wide variety of literature, ranging from masterpieces of composers like Bach and Mozart to contemporary works with the ink not yet dry. Public performances are but a fortunate by-product of the educational program of the orchestra, which looks forward to a continuing contribution to the cultural life of the entire community.

FORTY-NINER STAFF GUS KROLL Editor-in-Chicf Winning the highest honors yet captured by the FORTY-NINER— “Medalist and “First Class Honor” ratings—has made 1954-55 the most rewarding year in the short history of the journal. The campus paper has grown from a semi-monthly mimeographed sheet in '49 to a six-column full-size tabloid with a circulation in excess of 2400 copies weekly. Through the endeavor of the largest staff to date, the FORTY-NINER has attempted to give equitable and accurate coverage to all college and organizational events, meeting our re- portorial obligations without compromising journalistic principles. We have experimented with many journalistic forms, and it has been both work and fun. Now that we've said “thirty, we can look back with satisfaction on another good year in publications.

HORNSPOON EDITOR CASHNER pauses a moment after'checking a manuscript for the literary magazine. WHAT'S A HORNSPOON ??? Pretty Glodys Felt, associate editor, obligingly explains the interesting derivation of the term. Exponent of contemporary thought of Long Beach State College scholars, HORNSPOON is dedicated to the fostering of new literary styles. It was founded with the hope that enlightenment, insight, and creative works will find an audi- ence, and, in turn, will motivate others to use the “belle lettres” as a mode of expression. 100 PERUSING REAMS OF COPY, the Hornspoon staff sets itself down to on editing and typing session.

A distinguished opening night audience viewed the play, including Assemblyman Grant, Superintendent Newcomb, members of the Advisory Board, and many others. The heart-warming comedy, by Emlyn Williams, was appropriate as the opening pro- duction, since the trials and tribulations of Miss Moffat as she strove to get her school started parallels the predicament of the LBSC drama crew as they strive to open the door to bigger and better theatrical entertainment. CLIMACTIC SCENE in The Corn is Green is when Morgan (Charles Mosher) draws Bessie (Arlene Yater) to him in a moment of clcmcntol passion. WINNING THE SQUIRE OVER is deftly accomplished by Miss Moffat (Vi Coulter). The squire's role was played by Bill Hamil. 102 STAGE CRAFTSMANSHIP—The effective setting for the Welsh play was designed by Mr. Donald S. Jones.

Suppressed desires, uninhibited modes, and weird outfits were the themes of the Art Club’s fourth annual mas- querade. The dance was a rollicking success and an extravaganza of color and activity. 106 SPRING SING SWEEPSTAKES WINNERS—The Dclto Zetos pose happily with conductor Dottic Hutchinson, after winning top honors for their arrangement of Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor and Wonderful Guy. Our fourth annual Spring Sing was hailed as the most success- ful in history. Held indoors for the first time (in the Little Theatre), the Sing this year followed a “Musical Travelogue” theme. A capacity audience was enthusiastic in its reception of the event—the combined effort of eleven campus organiza- tions and a large committee headed by Gus Kroll, Marilyn Crelly, and Dave Bustrum.

IN THE MOOD—Climaxing tho day's events at the '49cr Dance, the celebrants clapped their hands ond warmed their feet at a good old-fashioned sock hop in the gym. OXFORD COWBOY—Dr. Cori E. Gregory blasts the Villains, as his sturdy steed Soncho nonchalant- ly chomps gross. Long Beach State College took on a different appearance May 6, when students once again re-lived the days of the gold rush. Through the early-morning mist one could see booths being erected over the entire lower-campus quad, with cowboys, Indians, Spanish senoritas, prospectors, and the like scurrying busily around. Booths selling everything from pizza to candied apples opened for business—and from the looks of things, business was good. Other concessions featured a stooge for cus- tomers to knock into a tub of water, penny pitching, roulette, raffles, a car wash, and photygraffs. Special events included a coke-drinking contest, a pie-throw, and a junior-senior tug of war, from which the juniors emerged victorious. Topping all these attractions were the olio acts, the float parade, and the ’49er dance. TE'S GULCH AT HIGH NOON—Indians, miners, cowboys, Spanish inccrs, and other '49crs socialized in the quod during the festivities. 109 CAMPUS DRIVES FOOD FOR THE NEEDY—Acacia won the Conned Food Drive, sponsored by the Tri-Dclts.

RED FEATHER DRIVE—Chairman Pot Graham, Joan Moriarty, and Carol Phipps led the campus Community Chest contest to raise funds for twenty- seven organisations. Webster says of amplify”: “To enlarge . . . by adding particulars; to expand; to render more e - tended, important.” Definitively, it is no exaggera- tion to say that-our ATHLETICS typify the growth here at State. Next fall, as the air turns crisp and cool and the leaves ON THE jHILL change color, life will take on new meaning; that “autumn madness,” that great college phenomenon will reign supreme — FOOT- BALL! Spring Practice has initiated the coming of the latest ’49er sporf, Boskctbjtft fcteken on new dimensions with the comple fewnS Ae beautiful gymnasium.

Now, more impressive thiin ever sports are becoming a very big thing at AMPLIFIED ATHLETICS BASKETBALL OR BALLET? Bob Focrstcr gets the upper hand on the Cal Tech duo, while Neil Peek (10) gozes hoopward. BASKETBALL Compiling the finest record in its competitive his- tory, State's basketball team displayed both deter- mination and zeal as they rolled up thirteen wins to nine losses. Coach Earl Kidd molded a height- lacking group into a speedy, ball-hawking crew which was able to hold its own against much taller opponents. Heralding the long-awaited opening of the gymna- sium, the ’49ers hosted their first Brown and Gold Day Tournament, which proved to be a precedent- making success. State’s performance in the first few games was hampered by the delayed opening, but as the season progressed so did the ’49ers. Coach Kidd encouraged the team to play along the highest ethical lines, evidenced by his dictum in the first meeting: “You are members of a young but fast-growing school. You will make traditions that will be carried on long after you have gone. The whole state is watching your school grow—let’s give them something worthwhile to observe by building our reputation on skill, honesty, determination, and courage—a foundation which will not crumble.” Ill COACH EARL KIDD BASKETBALL 112 S E A S 0 (Won LBSC 77 78 LBSC 71 Col Poly 61 LBSC 48 Redlands 60 LBSC.....65 Chopmon ..........58 LBSC 60 63 LBSC 59 85 LBSC 60 51 LBSC 67 55 LBSC 75 48 LBSC 78 Mine Poe 45 N RECORD 13, Lost 9) LBSC 56 Col Poly ....

BASEBALL The 1955 edition of the ’49cr baseball team topped the pace set by its pre- decessor in several areas: a larger squad, a more extensive schedule, and far greater success in the victory column—all pointing to even brighter seasons ahead. Under the guidance of Coach John McConnell, State’s horsehiders played at an .810 clip, based upon seventeen victories against only four defeats. A primary factor in this development was the work of an aggressive pitching staff that included fastballing Jay Davis, southpaw Phil Baker, and curve specialist Dimas Garcia. On the receiving end of the hurlers were peppery George Guillory and Neil Peek, who compensated for his inexperience by wielding a big bat. Cooperation was the key to the baseball team’s success, and in this alliance all members worked in accord to share equally in the results. Praise must also be given to the assistant coaches, Ron Boone and Dave Mills, who vol- unteered their time and talents. It will be a surprise (and a pleasure) to see these records quickly surpassed; we only hope that subsequent clubs can reach the 1955 mark. 117 BASEBALL BATTING RECORDS coach john McConnell Batting NAME AB R H SB BB SO RBI Average BAKER 33 4 14 3 3 6 .424 CARRILLO 21 4 7 1 8 1 4 .333 SISLER 12 3 4 5 5 1 333 INGRAM 71 16 23 1 17 8 20 .324 PHILLIPS 63 18 19 3 16 5 14 .302 POMTIER 10 1 3 3 2 .300 REED 59 11 17 4 20 13 8 .288 DUTCHER 14 5 4 3 7 3 1 .286 CROW 7 2 1 2 .286 STRONG 63 16 17 4 4 13 11 .269 DICKERSON 71 12 16 5 14 17 13 .225 DONOVAN 45 14 10 7 24 8 5 .222 CLINKSCALES 19 5 4 2 4 2 .221 WELLS 11 3 2 1 2 3 6 .182 ARMENDAREZ 6 3 1 1 1 2 .166 GUILLORY 25 5 4 12 6 5 .160 HORGER 37 9 5 1 12 7 8 .135 PEEK 38 8 5 1 9 10 5 .132 DAVIS 19 8 1 7 5 1 .053 GARCIA 17 4 5 3 2 .000 JOHNSON 5 2 2 .000 TOTALS 646 149 157 32 169 121 116 .243 NAME W L PITCHING RECORDS PCT.

TEE'D OFF!! Number one medalist, Fred Whit- more, demonstrates his winning form. GOLF Tallying State’s fifth competitive golf season, 1955 scored an eagle for the athletic program, evidenced by the caliber of competition and the attrac- tiveness of the schedule. Playing on five of the leading fairways in Southern California, LBSC faced all the nearby four-year institutions, including USC and UCLA, to end their season with nine wins and six losses. Seasonal standings have fluctuated from year to year to par an overall record of thirty-four wins, thirty-three losses. Climaxing their medalist play, the club-swingers notched one of the top positions in the Southern California Intercollegiate Golf Tournament, an invitational tourney for four-year colleges. Last year the ’49ers copped a sixth against twelve schools. Playing in the number one and two spots, respectively, Fred Whitmore and Bob Robinson have been consistently outstanding this year, both shooting in the low seventies. The rest of the squad, though new to the campus, have given the team a depth and balance heretofore unknown. No longer in the embryonic stage, golf at State is rapidly maturing as an intercollegiate activity. 120 MISTER SANDMAN—Bob Robinson blasts out of a sand trap on the 9th hole at Virginia Country Club. BOB FOERSTER — 1st Doubles MIKE STACK — 2nd Doubles DOUG STRONG — 2nd Doubles CHARLIE COURSE — 1st Singles CHUCK KATES — 3rd Singles State’s racquctccrs became quite adept at leaping the nets for the victory handshake in ’55: they smashed twelve colleges and succumbed to four, obliterating last year’s statistics. Commenting on his proteges, Coach Earl Kidd stat- ed, “I felt that the morale and good sportsmanship of the squad was especially commendable. They arc one of the finest groups of men it has ever been my pleasure to work with. I am sure the standards they have set, along with their record, is a goal towards which future teams will strive.” VARSITY TENNIS SQUAD—Front row: Bill Bouck, Charles Kotos, John Hinrich.

The record-busters include Gene Gillies, Brooks Boxter. Bill King, Ted Carruthers, and Sam Domancich. TRACK Starting the season with a bang, LBSC bagged the first track victory in its history! Staters took the measure of Pasadena College and LaVernc with a score of 67-53-42. This was a far cry from the undermanned ’54 squad, which had to be content with second and third spots in dual and tri-meet competition. Repeating their initial victory, the ’49ers overwhelmed Westmont College and the Santa Barbara Jayvees to the tune of 90-49-24. The cindermen’s greatest triumph was earned when thay stood at the top of the victory stand at the Orange Invitational Trackmeet and received State’s first athletic trophy. If records are any criteria of improvement. Staters have reason to be proud of their performances. In the course of the season, twelve school records were bettered and one tied; in addition, seven field marks were eclipsed. Track and Field activities will continue to grow at State with the addition of Cross Country next fall and increased enrollment of lower division students. This year’s track team—twenty strong—will have ten returning lettermen and seven freshmen to replace those who are graduating. Next year is bound to be even better is the motto of the ’49er spikesters. 122 INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENTS Richard Ballcstcr .......198'1 (jovclin); 21'2 Vi (broad jump); 41'11 (shot put); 117'9 (discus); 11'6 (pole vault).

V-Ball doubles requires perfect timing ond alertness, evidenced by playmakcr Phil Riley (left) and his opponents, Ellwin Ashwcll and Jim Cockrill. 127 Intramural athletics displayed a latitude this year which no previous season could claim. Instru- mental for this success was Mr. David Gray, intramural director. Through his endeavors, a coordinated program was established which found over one hundred men playing on some thirty teams—men who couldn’t find the neces- sary time for major sports but who wanted to compete nonetheless. Nearly every major sport was represented on the intramural agenda: flag football, volleyball (both two-man and six-man teams), basketball, softball, and tennis. The enthusiasm was so prolific that several men’s organizations signed up two or three different teams, and conten- tion for first-place trophies resulted in some outstanding play. Topping the season's activities, LBSC held the Southern California intramural association (SCSCIRA) basketball tourney. State's Jolly Green Giants were awarded the championship following their hard-won victories over USC, Whittier, and Pepperdine. In line with the ever-increasing facilities, next year's intramural program promises to be even greater. COACH MIKE DELOTTO MAKING A PASS? Arm cocked to throw, o State QB goes through some aerial maneuvers os his collcogucs study the situation. SPRING FOOTBALL Football arrived at State midst a clatter of trappings and chewed-up sod, as the ’49crs inaugurated their first intercollegiate pro- gram. Eighty eager candidates sweated through three weeks of grueling spring drills under the careful scrutiny of Coach Mike DeLotto and his three assistants. Now that the pigskin toters have become acquainted with the formation and the coach, and the coach has had the opportunity to study his material, next fall should produce some surprises. Plans have been laid for our initial encounter with Occidental, a perennial powerhouse in the Southern California Intercollegiate Con- ference. The first and last games will be played at Wilson High School, while two others will be hosted on State’s virgin grid- iron.
