Dedication GROUND BREAKING—UPPER CAMPUS—1953 From a struggling infant school of 160 students in 1949, Long Beach State has now reached the stature of a MAJOR COLLEGE with an enrollment of 5,700 people. But when we moved to the new campus ON-THE-HILL last spring, the emphasis shifted from growth measured in statistical data to PRO- GRESS in terms of tangible achieve- ment. It is this trend which identifies the yearbook theme and prompts OUR DEDICATION THIS PROSPECTOR FOR 1956 IS DEDI- CATED TO THE FOUNDERS OF LONG BEACH STATE COLLEGE AND TO THOSE PIONEER EDUCATORS WHO GAVE IT D-I-R-E-C-T-I-O-N. 5 Campus Vlews The old order changeth, yielding place to the new . . Ground breaking — for the $18,000 social activities building, donated by the Soroptimist Club. 6 OIL!! The drilling nearby aroused much curiosity, some anxiety, and lots of speculation . . . Lower campus . . . upper campus—whichever the direction, the stairs lead to real life experi- ence and opportunity. Frontiers recede . . . buildings fill the void . . . people In the new student lounge . . . extra-curricular life fill the buildings—In California, the college comes TO is a many-splendored thing, the student. 7 Campus Views Night falls ovor the campus and the Lakewood lights g-l-i-m-m-e-r in the distance. Classroom bound: to lecture halls and roll calls. 8 Shadings of DIRECTION, both bright and subtle, emanate from a faculty whose dis- cernment synthesizes the best in old and new educational techniques, helping to blow the traditional lids of limitation off the skies of achievement. A far cry from the student-centered campus of the ivy college, our mature student body uses a 320 acre campus, with broad expanses of lawn and sprawling buildings, as a BUSY CROSSROAD over which to rush from home ... to school ... to work. . . and home again. What this intermingling of real life experience with higher education will yield, only time can tell . . . but, for the moment, it spoils MAGNIFICENT OPPORTUNITY. 9 uDr. Pete” Charts the Course DR. P. VICTOR PETERSON President Long Beach State College continues to move ahead. The California State Legislature has just passed a record state budget which, among other items, provides approximately five million dollars for capital outlay for Long Beach State College. Four important build- ing additions are included in this appropriation, which will make pos- sible much needed expansion in the fields of art, science and physical education, as well as additional space for our excellent and rapidly expanding library. As we look into the future and at- tempt to fit the college into the expansion pattern of Southern Cali- fornia, we see unfolding at the col- lege many new areas of service—the most important ones in the fields of scientific technology and automa- tion. We must make every effort to train well-qualified, sympathetic, and enthusiastic science teachers for our elementary and secondary schools as well as highly trained specialists in the fields of chemistry, physics, and mathematics in order that our country may continue to occupy its present position of lead- ership among the nations of the world. However, we must never lose sight of the importance of maintaining a high level of leadership in the cultural arts and in local, state, national, and international govern- mental relationships. To all these ends, we will continue to expand our programs at Long Beach State College. Administrators DR. DAVID L. BRYANT Executive Dean DR. ROBERT D. RHODES Dean of Instruction DR. J.

Slow-and- fast . . . beat-and-pause . . . tick-and-tock . . . time moves on, magnified only by ANTICIPATION and by MEMORY! Division of Social Science integrated part of other disciplines. No social science area becomes a valid science until it applies the methods and attitudes of science to the practical understanding and solving of man's problems arising in an ever-increasing tempo of cultural change. Therefore, the real objectives of the social scientist appear to be defined, as the developing of creative objective leadership in all aspects of his economic, political, and social endeavors. Modem man must learn in our generation to adapt to a rapidly changing culture and live to- gether cooperatively or face social disin- tegration and death. I do not advocate in any way the superior importance of the social sciences over the physical sciences. I do, however, advocate that we in the social sciences must keep up with technological change and solve the rapidly emerging problems of indi- vidual and institutional adjustment in our contemporary culture. The question of “Direction for the Social Sciences is a moot topic in academic and lay circles. But before we can adequately deal with this direction, we must care- fully define what is meant by the term social science. In practice, most academicians conceive of social science as a collective term en- compassing specific areas of specializa- tion, such as anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, and sociology. Historically, these specific areas have been conceived as independent disci- plines around which walls have often been built, defending an attitude of sovereign segmentation. In reality, however, the various social sci- ences are only perspectives of a much greater whole, which is defined as so- ciety. No single discipline can be useful in isolation. Each subject field gains func- tional utility only when considered as an DR. CARL E. GREGORY, Chairman 18 Social Science Faculty Irving F. Ahlquist, Ph.D. History Edna H.

GEORGE R. CERVENY Chairman DR. LAWRENCE L. PETERSON Music Coordinator Stepping forward, the Division of Arts and Lan- guages has made significant gains this year. Majors and credentials in Spanish and in home economics and family living have been formally approved, and new courses will be available for fall registration. Journalism—including the col- lege newspaper, the yearbook, and the literary magazine—has been moved from the lower cam- pus to the new rooms in the latest classroom building. Work in drama was notable for new courses in radio and television, dance for the theatre, playwriting, and for the greatly in- creased interest in dramatics shown by class en- rollments and by audiences at performances. The next fine arts wing, now on the drawing board, will include specialized studios in adver- tising design and display arts, industrial etching, design, lithography, sculpture, and theatre de- sign. Plans for four-year professional programs in ceramics, magazine illustration, and advertis- ing design have been finished and the courses are now available. Ground breaking for the new building is set for the fall, and completion of the unit will at last give us physical equipment geared to an already impressive program. Gen- eral speech, English, and philosophy have had phenomenal increases in staff and sections be- cause of increased division enrollment. New up- per division courses are bound to follow. It is the goal of the division to match our physical growth with the more important growth in the work in our enthusiasm for students. P Arts and Languages Faculty Arthur B. Adair, M.A. Art Blair C.

MONTGOMERY Chairman With the basic curricula already established, the Division of Health, Physi- cal Education, Recreation, and Athletics is rapidly approaching maturity in its progress toward a complete and well-rounded program of offerings. While expansion in staff facilities continues, attention is being focused in the direction of teacher education, with majors and minors in physical ed- ucation and health education leading to a General Secondary Teaching Credential. The demand for teachers is great and the current enrollment of one hundred fifty men and women undergraduate P. E. majors and six- ty-five graduate students should help meet this pressing need. The intercollegiate and intramural athletic programs are extensive and satisfy the full range of sports and other activity interests. The forthcom- ing addition of the men's gymnasium and the swimming pool will add immeasurably to the scope of the program and provide opportunities for growth in new curricular areas.

VAN DYKE Coordinator of Administration DR. WALLACE H. MOORE Chairman DR. WAYNE W. YOUNG Elementary Coordinator What is the direction in which the Division of Education and Psychology is going at Long Beach State College? What is the direction, the course in which we are moving in American education? Perhaps these statements will help to establish our beliefs: Our sole reason for existence is to provide ex- periences which will enable our graduates to be the best teachers possible. These individuals must perform effectively not only in the classroom but also in the social, economic, and political environ- ment. Hence the need for objectives which, in effect, determine direction. The planning of objectives for our educational program is done cooperatively involving both members and students. Thus, the planning pro- cess is continuous and evolutionary since it occurs democratically rather than under authoritarian control. Objectives in education need to change as social needs change. We establish our objectives not only on the basis of local education needs, but also on those of national and international con- cern. The objectives should reflect not only the cultural and the national traditions, but also the basic ideas of intelligent experimentation. We must realize that past experiences are important, but the past is the formation on which we build rather than the final criterion for performance. In the final analysis, our goal is the kind of edu- cation which prepares teachers for intelligent decisions in all areas of citizenship. j-AC- 41 U. i Education and Psychology Faculty Roy C.

BAXTER Lecturer Alpha Omega Are teachers interested in education? Alpha Omega's answer appears to be an emphatic yes, in view of its growth from fourteen members in 1952 to its present eighty-four. Newly installed in Phi Delta Kappa, national professional educational fraternity, the club has adopted goals of promoting free public education and translating ideals of research, service, and lead- ership into a program of action. Led by President Hubert Crozier, with Drs. Henry Sehmann, Arnold Christensen, and Kephas Kinsman as advisors, Alpha Omega has presented inspirational and informative speakers during its monthly meetings. ALPHA OMEGA — Front row, J.

Alpha Phi Gamma Hosting the joint California Intercollegiate Press Association and Alpha Phi Gamma convention in March set a pace that kept State's journalists keyed up long after the presses stopped rolling. Two open houses for pledges, a Halloween costume party, prominent newspapermen at meet- ings, an initiation dinner at Moreno's Restaurant, and the presentation of the annual award for distinguished work in publications provided a full calendar for the national honorary journalism fraternity.

The Creative Writing Club came up with a better mousetrap in the 1956 Hornspoon, Harlequins delighted audiences with original one-act plays; church groups took college ideas and moulded them into activities, fra- ternities and sororities exchanged ideas and continued local welfare work, press groups and forensics carried State's banner in tour- nament, and special interest clubs improved their avocations and fostered that educa- tion which students receive from each other. Like a boatswain on a rolling deck, LBSC gripped the line tighter, somewhat amazed at the assimilation of lifo found in CAMPUS ORGANIZATIONS. Art Club Founded in 1949, the Art Club encourages the development, enjoyment, and appreciation of the arts. Each year, the club sponsors the Beaux Arts Ball, as well as the sale of student-designed Christmas cards, to support its Scholarhip Loan Fund. Among field trips, which are part of the club's activities, have been visits to the L. A. County Museum and to contemporary homes in the Los Angeles area. Alan Porter, designer, and Craig Ell wood, architect, have been among the authorities who lectured to the club. Bob Wolff presided over the monthly meetings during the year; Mr. Orval Dill- ingham and Dr. John Olsen served as co-sponsors. ART CLUB — Front row: B. Heyn, E. Mendez, C. Pickrell, T. Anthony, M.

Association for Childhood Education In 1953, the Kindergarten-Primary Club at L.B.S.C. voted to become a junior chapter of the national Association for Childhood Education. Putting local emphasis on such aims as familiarity with and insight into teaching prob- lems at the elementary level, this group accomplished much during the year. In addition to socials, such as the Christmas party, Swap Shop of Teaching Ideas, potluck dinner, April apple sale, and May breakfast, the chapter also sent delegates to the Fresno State Conference and made plans to host foreign students at the international conference of A.C.E. in 1957. Presiding this year were Arlene Dewitt and Dorothy Wolff, with Drs. Myr- tle Imhoff and Burdett Burk as advisors. ASSOCIATION FOR CHILD- HOOD EDUCATION, JR. — Front rowi D. Lyon, D. Fenn, M.

Founded in 1955, under the guidance of Dr. Edna Barbour, the group has since given its members much practice in direct- ing extra-curricular activities. This year, educational meetings featured a lecture by Dr. Erwin Keithley of U.C.L.A. and a panel discussion on The First Year of Teaching by a group of L.B.S.C. alumni. Main activity cen- tered around the preparation of a project for Pi Omega Pi, national busi- ness education fraternity.

It is the only campus group which is asked to look at life—good and bad—as portrayed by student authors. Members are then asked to think and decide whether or not the writer has done a valid job of depicting life. Functions of the club include the editing of manuscripts for Hornspoon, campus literary magazine sponsored by the group. Presiding this year was Herbert Cashner, with Dr. Samuel E. Wiley as advisor.

The organization also votes funds for a small scholarship to be given to a deserving new student. Prexies Velma Fergu- son and Betty Howlett led the fifty-seven scholars, sponsored by Dr. Ken- neth L. Johnson. SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY — Front rows U. Moore, S. King, B. Drew, S. Clarko, H.

Initiation rituals, followed by a colorful Christmas party given by the pledges, set the pace for fund-raising drives. Campus response to the well-advertised pie, cake, and card sales was gratifying. Better under- standing of nursing education was the major aim for this year's program at L.B.S.C. Ushering in a new board, the Installation Dinner closed the ac- tivity calendar. Doris Gallion led the group both terms. Joint sponsors of this organization are Dr. Karl Russell, Dr. Kenneth Johnson, and Miss Barbara Bassett. SIGMA CHI NU —Front row, E. Butler, H. Norton, M.

Organized three years ago, Ski Club members are avid promoters of the sport for skiers and neophytes alike. At Christmas, some of the members went to the Mam- moth area for a week. Other resorts visited were Squaw Valley, Aspen, Mt. Baldy, Snow Valley, and Snow Summit. During the spring drought, main activities consisted of dry land sessions, water skiing, and the Ski Club annual party. President John Tarpley led the group, with faculty ad- visor Paul Kleintjes.

Social Science Honorary Since March, 1954, the Social Science Honorary has grown into a well-or- ganized and enthusiastic entity. With hopes of petitioning the national, Pi Gamma Mu, the group has worked towards building and achieving high standards. Members are recommended by the social science faculty. In addition to maintaining a B average, they must also have completed twenty units in the field at L.B.S.C. Drs. Robert Kennelly, Bertram Mc- Garrity, and Henry Zentner addressed the group at various meetings. Spon- soring board for the honorary includes Mr. Howard Kimball, Dr. Leroy Hardy, and Dr. George Korber, who congratulate President Mary Ann Haney for her fine leadership this year.

Formed in 1954 by a small group of sociology students, this group has since grown into a recognized welfare organization. This year, in addition to touring the Long Beach Public Health Department, the club also took part in the Mayor and City Council's Conference on Youth Wel- fare. Linda Cates and Warren Ponsar were elected as fall and spring presi- dents. Dr. David Dressier served as faculty sponsor. SOCIAL WELFARE CLUB — Front row: N. Scanlon, E. Johnson, L. Cates, E.

Statesmen Stressing greater student body participation and interest in all phases of campus life. Statesmen, the new L.B.S.C. men's service organization, has completed its first year on campus. Handsome grey jackets distinguished the members during spring registration period. They led orientation tours of the campus and took key responsibility for the Spring Sing and 49er Day. Restricted to active men who maintain a 2.25 grade-point average, the club hopes to keep its standards high. Bill Tikunoff was president for the year; Dr. Francis J. Flynn and Mr. Ludwig Spolyar are co-sponsors. STATESMEN — Front row: R. Wondor, W. Muddio, J. Batch- olor, R. Albertson, W. Barnes, B. Brown. Back row: H. Shep- ard, J. McGreevy, Dean Flynn, W.

The fraternity is dedicated to the proposition that high merit in speech and scholastic achievement deserves national recognition. Fresident Donald Fregeau and Advisor Joseph A. Wagner led the group this year in striving to promote interest in public speaking, and to foster respect for, and appreciation of, freedom of speech as a vital element in a democracy. TAU KAPPA ALPHA — Dr. Smith, M. Coppersmith, H. Shepard, T. Matthews, D. Fre- geau, Dr. Wagner. Wesley Club Working in cooperation with other Christian organizations on campus, Wesley Club encourages students to practice Christian principles in col- lege life. Tuesday noon meetings, during the semesters, placed emphasis on the theme new frontiers in religious thought. Evening meetings featured such speakers as Frank Crane of University Church in Los An- geles and Bernard Watson of Lynwood. Marlene Maurer and Bob Cham- ness were presidents for the year, which ended with an evening of fun, fellowship, and worship at the Long Beach Methodist Church. Represented in the College Religious Council, the group is under direction of the Rev- erend Raymond Firth and faculty advisor Boyd Davis. WESLEY CLUB — Front row: J. Perkin, M. Maurer, D. Spence, N.

Women’s Physical Education Club Since 1955, membership of the Women's Physical Education Club has grown from a handful to more than forty members. The club's aim is to further interest and advancement in the field of physical education through par- ticipation in professional, social, and service affairs. Some of their activi- ties included a get-acquainted social, an ice-skating party, two cake sales, and a Christmas party. The club also attended the CAHPER conference in Compton and were chartered as a student unit of the California Association of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. Evelyn Stewart served as fall president, while Mary Adair was elected in spring. The advisor is Dr. Dorothy L. Ericson. WOMEN'S PHYSICAL EDUCA- TION CLUB—Front row: Miss Reed, J. Royer, F.

WUS extends to all universities of all countries whose resources are inadequate to meet their needs. Cur- rent projects include re-settling exiled students and refugees, providing medicine and laboratory equipment, building dorms and student centers, equipping classrooms, constructing T.B. sanatoria, granting scholarships and loans, operating student health centers, and sponsoring university affiliations and international contacts. Fifty per cent of the funds raised in the 1956 Fund Drive are earmarked for the South African Medical Stu- dent Fund for scholarships to train African negroes to help meet the great shortage of medical men in that area. Working on this year's committee were Huey Shepard, Phil Cogbill, Earl Mason, Ed Peacock, Carlton Wagner, Serena Beck, Tessie Wohlstatter, and Phil Ogilvie (chairman).

Maintaining the enthus- iasm Chi Delts formerly exhibited, the new chapter engaged in activities such as the annual Candy Cane Sale, giving aid to child victims of heart diseases and filling Christmas gift boxes for women patients at Rancho Los Amigos County Hospital. Despite the busy schedule involved with going national, the Alpha Phi's were suc- cessful in various campus events, as well. Their candidate, Margie Getz, was elect- ed Homecoming Queen; they walked away with “first place in the women's divis- ion of the Spring Sing; and they also found time for a spring dinner dance. President Mary Whittington and Mrs. Mary Russell, advisor, led the group through its first year as a national sorority. REAL COOL CATS — those Alpha Phi's!

Launching the year, Delta Zeta had four members included in Who's Who in Amer- ican Universities and Colleges. With all this group talent, it was no surprise when they won first in the Sigma Fi Barbershop Quartet Contest, as well as theme prize for their float on Homecoming Day. For further distinction, DZ's Mary Ann Haney served as Panhellenic president,- and when the spring rolled around, DZ Dot- tie Hutchinson was elected Blue Book Belle. Along philanthropic lines, members and pledges of Delta Alpha chapter held num- erous cake sales to provide funds for their national service project, Gallaudet Col- lege for the deaf, in Washington, D. C. Believing in the adage All work and no play . . . Delta Zetas held numerous ex- changes with fraternities, as well as active-pledge kidnaps and parties. The fall crop of twenty-eight pledges banded together to sponsor L.B.S.C.'s first annual All- Greek Pledge Dance. Their annual dinner dance at the Petroleum Club filled out the year. Steering the group this year were Mary Ann Haney and Valjeanne Worden, fall and spring presidents, with Mrs. S. M. Gregory as college chapter director, and Mrs. S. Austen Reep, faculty advisor.

Winning honorable mention for their float on Homecoming Day, the local Tri-Delts also held a parent-faculty apple-polishing party so that visitors might better under- stand their chapter's aims. They sponsored a Needy Families Food Drive at Thanks- giving time, and then climaxed the fall semester with their annual dinner dance. Spring Sing rehearsals kept the Deltas busy during the second semester, and it ap- pears that their practice paid off, for by joining forces with Sigma Alpha Epsilon, they reaped the Sweepstakes trophy for their rendition of Rock A My Soul. The Stars and Crescent Ball, held May 26 at the Wilton Hotel, was a fitting finale for another successful Tri-Delt year. Leading the group this term was Cecilia Dennis. Mrs. Ann Burch and Mrs. Lahoma Smith served as sponsors. ‘'CHIC, GLAMOROUS, AND COLLEGIATE —A province convention at Santa Barbara, a pledge-active Christmas exchange, and a Homecoming work party on a prize-winning float were a few of the Tri-Delt activities during the year.

Despite hard work on projects like the Maine Sea Coast Mission, Hathaway Home in Los Angeles, and their own grade-point averages, the Sigmas had a rather tootin social calendar, including exchanges, their All-Greek Coffee Hour, the Pearl Ball, and a spring dinner dance. Their greatest glow, however, came with Sigma Kappa's presentation of Nugget, a burro mascot, to the A.S.L.B.S.C. Sigmas now look forward to another fine year, as they bid a fond adieu to Darlene Koutunis, president, and Mrs. Marjorie Dean, sponsor, who led thorn through this momentous year.

Their many achievements emphasize that Acacians, in addi- tion to wearing their fraternity emblem, practice their motto: To strengthen the ties of friendship . . . one with the other. Rolling into their second year on campus, Acacians walked off with the I.F.C. Schol- arship Trophy, won Men's Division trophies in both the Sigma Pi Barbershop Quar- tet Contest and The Spring Sing, and were represented in athletics, student govern- ment, and organizations. More honors came to the fraternity when two members were awarded scholarships from the Elk's Club. Just to keep things interesting, Acacians had an equally active social calendar. Joining forces with the U.S.C. chapter, they hold their annual Black and Gold Ball at the Statler Hotel. Numerous exchanges with campus sororities and a gala spring formal rounded out the year. Strengthening the membership, Will Piper, transfer from Cal, joined Acacia's ranks as an associate member. Small wonder that Acacians show pride in this year's successes and the fulfillment of their motto! Leadership was provided by Presidents Dick Tubbs and John Tarpley. Drs. James V ilson and Robert Hoffman advised the group. FRIENDS, ROMANS, COUNTRYMEN — ? No, it's Acacians and their dates at the Beaux Arts Ball.

Honoring the fiftieth anniversary of the fraternity, this chapter was installed March 17, 1956, at the Statler Hotel. Under the guiding hands of Presidents Bill Maddio and Jim Dutch, Phi Taus have rapidly become one of the most active fraternal groups on campus. A few of the activities marking their first year include functions with U.C.L.A. and U.S.C. chap- ters, the Dream Girl Dance at Glen Air Country Club, holiday parties, and hay rides. On the athletic side, members enjoyed skiing in the mountains and, when the weath- er became warmer, aquatic pastimes. They also put in extra hours of work distrib- uting their annual calendars and sponsoring Merry-Lee Latta as candidate for the Lakewood Lions' Show Carnival Queen. In their spare time, they judged a campus square dancing contest and backed Phi Tau Chuck Gulseth as their candidate for Black Bart on 49er Day. Faculty advisors to Phi Tau are Drs. Gordon Warner and Nicholas Hardeman. A BIG MOMENT for Phi Tau's this year was their installation banquet.

In November, the local group was initiated at California Lambda, 138th chapter in the realm of S.A.E. Members of the first California Lambda pledge class became ac- tives on March 9, when one thousand brothers and national officers gathered at the University of Alabama, in Tuscaloosa, to observe S.A.E.’s One Hundredth Annivers- ary where the first chapter was founded in 1856. The S.A.E.'s improved their well-worn mansion on DeSoto Street and continued to build lasting brotherhood through group functions such as the Christmas Tree Sale and the Hukilau Beach Party. While contributing nine men to the first 49er foot- ball squad and stressing academic achievement, as well, they still managed to squeeze in the most rollicking round of parties the old vets have ever seen. Fall president was Vic Davis, and Fred Mack nailed down the post this spring. Fra- ternity advisor is Dr. Walter Nagle, together with faculty sponsors Don Shipley, Hal Melom, and Jack Bradley.

With three thousand fans turning out for the music of Harry James, and Sig Pi Burt Carsten- sen escorting Miss Universe (Hillevi Rombin) to the shindig, who could ask for any- thing more? The brothers kept the ball rolling by assisting the Lakewood Lions with their Snow Carnival. Combining ticket sales for the event with Delta Zeta Sorority and spon- soring a carnival booth, they gleaned four hundred and seventy-five shekles for their house fund. Then, for a house decoration, they took the first-place trophy in the Homecoming Day float parade. Following a Beta Kappa precedent, the local Beta Omicron chapter instituted the first annual Barbership Quartet Singing Contest on campus. To relax, the fellows had a few parties for such occasions as Halloween, Christmas, New Year, et al. (By the way, that costume party with the French theme had enough dancers to form a tribe!) Leading the group through a successful year were Truck Hanna and Howard Niel- son, fall and spring Sages, with Drs. Leroy Hardy, Thomas Macfarlane, and Jack Brownell as advisors.

Proudly hold- ing the distinction of first national social fraternity on campus, the Delta Theta chapter celebrated its second birthday, combined with Founders' Day, January 10. Carrying on where the former local, Alpha Kappa Chi, left off, Tekes once again published the annual Student Directory. Proving their artistic ability, they gar- nered second place in the Homecoming Day float parade. Being humanitarians at heart, Tekes came through as the first campus organization to donate a bale of hay to Nugget, the 49er burro mascot. Their social calendar was heavily dotted with events such as mountain trips, ex- changes, picnics, beach parties, all-occasion parties, and of course, the annual Red Carnation Ball, at which the new TKE Sweetheart (who succeeds Dorcas Wil- son) was presented. Leading the chapter through this memorable year was President Dick Holtz. Fac- ulty advisors are Dr. Boyd Davis and Dr. George Barker.

The first sorority to be extended an invitation to colonize at Long Beach State, Zeta Tau Alpha made its appearance on the campus with the pledging of ten girls on December 18, 1955. With the addition of Mitzi Moshier and Mary Ann Reichard, these girls are looking forward to charter membership at installation ceremonies next term. Aims of the fraternity include developing the characteristics of sincere scholarship, under- standing friendship, good citizenship, and a well-disciplined and complete personality. The Zetas have taken an active part in campus activities from the Spring Sing to 49er Day, when they won second place for their attractive ging- ham dresses. The calendar has included Big and Little Sister Ceremonies, dinner invitations to the USC and UCLA chapters, a Swim and Slumber Party, dinners, and a luncheon for mothers and sponsors. Zetas and their mothers were enter- tained by the Alumnae Chapter. There have been fraternity exchanges, and a picnic for campus dates was held at Irvine Park. The highlight for Carlene Holloway, president and Jacolyn Speck came in June when they at- tended the national convention of the fraternity in New Jersey. Mrs. Francis J. Flynn has served as sponsor of the Zetas, with Miss Catherine Segel as pledge advisor. 90 Greek Peeks TONSIL SHOW? No, it's Tri-Dolts wanning up their vocal chords at one of their festive parties.

A season resplendent with fond memories for PAN-HELLENIC wo- men has turned into pages of cam- pus history. In September, the Greek council joined the National Panhellenic Conference, thus be- coming the official coordinating group for sororities on campus. Preparation for service through character building is but one of the ideals expressed in the Pan- hellenic creed. Closer cooperation and understanding of problems common to all Greek groups is the aim of the council. Pilot of the first executive committee for ''Pan- hell” was Mary Ann Haney, Delta Zeta. Dr. Lois Swanson served as faculty advisor. Probably the biggest single achievement of INTER-FRATERNI- TY Council this year was the stan- dardization of rushing procedure to reduce undue competition and to create better understanding and cooperation among all fraternities. This local emphasis tied in with a major aim of the National Inter- Fraternity Conference to bring about a general realization of the unity of purpose between fraterni- ties and the colleges in which they exist.” Presidents Dick Tubbs (fall) and Dick Holtz (spring) led the weekly meetings, with Mr. Ludwig Spolyar as sponsor.

Hero, with the ACCENT on activities, is edu- cation beyond the classroom. - A.S. Executive Council BILL Z. BARNES President Football was the predominant addition to campus life this year, as the 49ers fielded their first grid squad. Highlights of the fall semester were the “Hello Hop, a productive Leadership Confer- ence, and the Speech Sweepstakes won at the U.S.C. tourney. Homecoming hosted the Class of 1950 and gave us the first resi- dent 49er —Nugget, our burro mascot. The spring agenda featured Jack Rank's Macbeth, Professor Frank C. Baxter, Dr. Margaret Mead, and another fun for all 49er Day. L.B.S.C. played host to two statewide conventions this year—the California Inter-collegiate Press Association and the Newman Club. State's admission into the C.C.A.A. and repre- sentation at the U.S.N.S.A. regional conference should also be chalked up in our coming-of-age column. Sixteen Executive Councilmen met each week taking care of sun- dry and routine matters that make the activity wheels click. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of them for the time and effort they spent to make this year a notable one,- and I would also like to express my appreciation to the faculty and administration who gave so much time and effort to help us solve numerous problems as they arose.

For the first time at State the Graduates are coordinating with the Seniors and Alumni to make Senior activities a success. Mary Ann Haney headed the planning commit- tee. Objectives this year were for increased graduate parti- cipation in student affairs and for a stronger Alumni As- sociation to support our Alma Mater. Officers for the year were Bernie Burke, president; Dorcas Wilson, vice-president; Mary Ann Haney, secretary; Phil Cogbill, treasurer. Fac- ulty sponsor was Dr. Charles Burch. President Terry O'Neill, Vice President Ursula Delworth, and a hard-working council directed the Senior Class in a most successful year. The Irvine Coast Country Club was the scene of the lavish Blue Book Ball, which turned out quite well, considering a post- ponement because of damp (!) conditions. A spaghetti dinner, numerous parties, a senior breakfast, and the first annual senior gift to the school evidenced the spirit and enthusiasm that were characteristic of the 1955-56 Class. Other officers serving on the Senior Council were Jim McGreevy, secretary; Ed Krucli, treasurer; Gretchen Anderson, social chairman; and Marilyn Crelly, senior hostess.

Fea- tured for the month of April was Kampus Kapers,” a sports night for everyone. And. just to get away from it all, they journeyed off campus for a class picnic. Officers who led the Class of '57 in these and other ac- tivities were Maureen Hutchinson, presi- dent; Diane Thompson, vice-president; and Richard Parker, secretary-treasurer. The Juniors were advised by Dr. Robert W. Smith. JUNIOR COUNCIL—First row: Mary Collins, Diane Thompson, Sue King. Valjeanno Worden.

A fall cake sale, from which they make a fine profit, was just the beginning. When the Diamond Jim contest was an- nounced, they thought it might build up class spirit to enter Roger Anthony as a contestant. Morale went up! Then, in the spring semester the Sophs had an apple sale and another cake sale, which led up to a successful class get-together. Officers for the Sophomore Council this year were Bob Wonder, president; Don Morrissey, vice-president; Susan Upson, secretary,- Ross Newhan, treasurer. Dr. Robert C. Wylder advised the class.

It all began as the student leaders planned this three-day parley for the betterment of the student body, the school, and the leaders. Speeches, discus- sion, and debate composed the serious side of the conference, while volleyball, singing, and dancing provided recreational breaks. One activity reappear- ing on the agenda and unani- mously enjoyed seemed to be the meals. S'LONG . . . will write! COUNT HEADS and divide by two OKAY, GANG—let's call it a day! Brown and Gold Day LIGHTING OF THE BONFIRE got Homecoming activities off to a roaring start. Yells and songs furnished the pop for the next day.

State's fifth annual Spring Sing was one of the top events this year. Nine organizations were entered in the three divisions and a novelty number, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, was presented by the Caprice Welfare Club of Foly High School. Tim Henney acted as master of ceremonies. His committee included Leonard Brockman, Earl Mason, Bob Wonder, Connie Garr, Lynn Richmond, and Ross Newhan. Win- ners of the Mixed Division (not pictured) were the Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship group. Proceeds from this event went to the Exceptional Children's Foundation. The Sing registered a new high in all points. WOMEN'S DIVISION WINNER was Alpha Phi sorority. MEN'S DIVISION WINNER was Acacia fraternity, with singing Chapter Song” and This Nearly Was Mine. their rendition of a Sea Chanty Medley. 102 Bands The social aspect of the rally and assembly . . . the popular aspects of jazz in student life . . . the artistic performance of wind-instrument reper- toire in the concert hall — L.B.S.C. bands ful- filled these and many other campus functions. FORTY-NINER BAND is the official name of the large group that represents the college. During 1955-56, they played for the Homecoming pa- rade which toured downtown Long Beach, the pep rallies in the quad, an assembly at Newport High School, and the graduate recitals. The DANCE BAND, which is a laboratory for those interested in writing, arranging, or play- ing jazz, provided entertainment at school as- semblies and for several civic groups. The smaller and more select CONCERT WIND ENSEMBLE, designed exclusively for concert per- formance of significant wind instrument music —past and present—played for several campus assemblies during the year.

This con- cert was previewed by an appearance for the Long Beach Women's Music Club at the Ebell Theater. As part of the activities program, the Orchestra provided an outlet for students inter- ested in a performance group, in addition to playing music at student assemblies and all college programs, such as the Commencement.

Bright, busy booths ringed lower campus quad, turning the familiar work-a-day scene into a colorful bur- lesque of a market place in early California. Bearded cowboys and miners, calico-dressed pioneer women, and brightly costumed senors and senoritas sauntered by in proud array. The slippery tug-of-war resulted in a muddy victory for the seniors. Right after the beard-raising contest came the coke-drinking, egg-throwing, and pie-eating sprees. From the kick-off speech by the Mayor of Pete's Gulch —our own Presi- dent Peterson, sporting a ten-gallon hat—to the last round of applause after the Olios, the quad resounded to a medley of laughter and nostalgic music. The 49er Dance climaxed this day of memories. DOIN’ WAT HUMS NATCHERLY —D Z’s theme for olio. MUD, SWEAT, AND TEARS”—Seniors swamp Juniors. CAN-CAN? —49er committee whoops it up.

Not an issue in 1955-56 hit the stands without its being a ''hot ' one, contain- ing excellent copy by a staff of stellar workers, possibly the finest in the short history of the paper. And, although the winning of such ratings is a credit to the college and its news- paper, the real satisfaction came from the way The Forty-Niner was accepted by the students, young and old. Now that the year has drawn to a close, it remains for the newspaper neo- phytes to regroup forces, sharpen their pencils, and prepare for even bigger and better things.

W.U.S. DRIVE, sponsored by the World University Service organization, was launched in the spring by a very special program in the Little Theatre. B.S.O. BLOOD—The annual blood drive, sponsored by the Board of Student Organizations, was aimed at reaching blood bank proportions, so that any student on campus might freely request blood for himself or his family. 112 Pep and Cheerleaders Each year the song and yell leaders, together with the rally band, have sparked interest and stimulated school spirit. Field- ing the first L.B.S.C. football team this year, the A.S. focused even more attention on the vi- tal part these groups play in generating enthusiasm. Our high-stepping song leaders and bass-voiced yell leaders really did justice to the student body. PEP GROUPS—Song Loaders: Jo Bigger, Merry Lee Latta, Beverly Brock- way.

Shown are Ron Albertson as Job, Pat Stites as his wife, Elizabeth Baker and Esther Landis as handmaidens, and Mike New- ton, Dale Fairbanks, Don Kehret, Jack Albright, John Hughes, and Paul Frankol. Original musical score was by Cleve Scott. 114 “The Crucible” The dramatic court-room scene of THE CRUCIBLE, in which the servant-girl (Susan Croxton) is forced to re- cant her confession by judges (Dean Troxel, Ed Cohen and Bob Faircloth) as the three prim Puritan girls roponsible for the hysteria (Yvonne Skillman, Joan Lee and Pat Sheridan) watch. Also shown are Ray Wyllic, Bob Quigley, Henry Moore, Louis Coldoff, Bob Hanrahan, and Charles Lawrence. Bob Quigley as John Proctor and Pat Sheridan as Abigail, the temptress in Arthur Miller's powerful drama of witchcraft in Salem—THE CRUCIBLE. “Amahl” ''Eh? sings King Kaspar (William Jones) to Amahl (Michael Cook) in this scone from AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS, as the other kings, Phil Haynes and Alexander Mc- Connell, rest on their journey to Bethlehem. George Turpeau is shown as the page and Jean Hockney as the mother. 115 Spring One-Acts ULTIMO MOMENTO, by Charles Lawrence, told the dramatic story of a matador's fall from glory. Cliff Peterson played the matador, Joseph Weijola his devoted servant, Joan Scanlan his sweetheart, and Robert Sorrels the envious other man. It was directed by Iloan Rabens in a sotting by Doug Davis. THE WEANING AWAY OF WILLIE, by John Herbert Jr., was a farce comedy in which Willie (Gordon Stobonnc) and his Ma (Lois Dalton) outwit the city slickers (Bob Faircloth and Eugeno Pyatte). Direction was by Fred Martin and setting by Robert Gronendyke. In A GIFT FROM POPPA, by Eleanor Shibley, Poppa (W.

From the brisk tempo of fall football and basketball on through to the easy tenor of spring tennis and baseball, the 49er teams have dotted the intercollegiate map with more and more BROWN-AND-GOLD accents of victory. Football RUN, RUN, RUN wes the order during the rigorous springtraining drills. Assistant Coach Bob JDowney (left). Head Coach Mike DeLotto (center� , and Assistant Bob Pestolesi lead the gridders onto the field for the opening of practice. Another first was added to the ever-expanding sports program at Long Beach State College when the 49er football squad took to the field to oppose a strong Occidental team last Septem- ber. A large contingent of Long Beach supporters was on hand but the team went down in defeat 21-7. The following week LaVerne became the first victim of the 49ers, 28-12, before 4000 spec- tators at Homecoming. Succeeding weeks provided the scalps of Cal- Baptist (65-0) and Cal Tech (32-6) for the 49ers. In the fifth game the undefeated Pomona-Clare- mont Sagehens stopped State's victory march by handing the team a 21-14 setback. Next victim of the 49ers was Cal Poly, which fell 32-6. The season ended with a convincing 27-6 victory over Santa Barbara. Harlowe Richardson was voted the most valu- able back; Gene Gillies, the most valuable line- man. Capt. Bill Bruffey is succeeded by Bob Woodhouse and Bob Smith, co-captains for next year. A strong nucleus will return next season, and so it is expected that Long Beach State will have a representative team fora tough campaign. 122 MIKE DELOTTO Head Coach BOB DOWNEY Backfield Coach BOB PESTOLESI Line Coach JOHN TURLEY Assistant Coach BILL BRUFFEY Captain GENE GILLIES HARLOWE RICHARDSON Most Valuable Lineman Most Valuable Back COOLING OFF . . . after the game. uyviAcx 123 ALBERTSON (c) ALEXANDER (t) STOPPED SHORT—An Occidental back is stopped after rounding the corner ASHCRAFT (hb) ASH WILL (hbl in State's first game.

State bowed to Chapman 63-50 in the finals. The 49er cagers this year were an up-and-down team. They started the season by topping the 100 point mark in the first two games, but on returning from Christmas vacation there was a definite let down. Injuries to key players through the season did little to bolster the morale of the players, who were continually meeting teams with superior height and man power. It was just a case of a good little team meeting good big teams. Highlight of the season was the spirit and drive shown by the whole squad in the Brown and Gold Tournament. State was beaten out in the finals by a great Chapman team after a hectic overtime period. 128 Captain Bob Foerster's scoring punch and Neil Peek's driving floor game will be missed next year, says Coach Earl Kidd; but Long Beach has the nucleus for a really fine ball club if we can obtain some height. TIP-OFF—Cuptain Bob Foerstcr leaps high to out-jump San Diego's center to start what turned out to be a high- scoring game, but a victory for the Aztecs (74-38). 49ER CAGERS—Front row: Donn Loe, Neil Peek, Bob Focrster, Hollis Harvey, Sam Kennedy, John Miller, John Mi- haljovich.

The 49ers were led by iron man Dick Ballester in the 100, 220, broad jump, pole vault, shot put, javelin, and discus. He accounted for 19 points in the cinder team's only victory of the season against Chapman and Pasadena. State met defeat at the hands of strong teams from San Diego and Los Angeles State and lacked the power to do much at the SPAAU and Santa Barbara Relays. At the CCAA relays LBSC could score only two points—Ballester picked up a third in the javelin. Fresno State won the meet as their great sprinter Mike Agostini equaled the world's record in the 100 at 9.3 seconds. 134 49ER HARRIERS—Front rows Ed Martin, Penny Conradt, Dick Ballester, Dick Hight, Bob Calvo.

Cross Country Marking another first in State's athletic his- tory, Cross Country was added to the inter- collegiate program this year. A small squad of eight harriers reported to Coach Walter Crowe to compete in the eight scheduled meets. The 49ers fared well for the first sea- son, defeating Westmont College and Pep- perdine, and tying Los Angeles State, but losing to strong teams from Occidental, Red- lands, Chapman, and Pasadena College. Captain Jim Sebio was the year's top point winner. He earned the Outstanding Perform- er Award for his score, and his leadership. Other consistent point winners were Bill Ag- new, Hollis Harvey, and Dee Hoffman. Tom Sisneros and Regan Hinshaw showed great promise as freshman runners and will be counted on next year. Pat Baccus and Roy Gray filled out the roster of leather lungers. PACE SETTER—Captain Jim Sebio of LBSC gets off to a quick lead as the 49er harriers take on Pepperdine.

HITTING THE TRAIL—A 22 man field of runners from State, Chapman, and Pasa- dena Colleges are off with the gun in the 49crs' initial Cross Country Meet, held on the local cinder path. 137 Baseball BATTER UP!—Jay Davis sends his fast ball whizzing towards the plate to start action in the 49ers‘ clash with Santa Barbara. State avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Gauchos and won this game, 14-6. Led by a veteran mound crew and the robust hitting of Phil Baker, George Bishop and Carl Evans the 1956 edition of the State College base- ball team chalked up an outstanding 18 won, 6 loss record, the most wins ever recorded by a 49er diamond team. The pitching staff of Phil Baker, Jay Davis, Gene Dykes, Dimas Garcia, and Bill Hobbs did a mag- nificent job as three of State's six losses were by only one run. Davis with a six-and-one record. Dykes with three wins against no defeats, and the relief work of Garcia paved the way to a great season. Baker was the 49ers' leading hitter with a .384 mark, followed closely by Bishop at .378 and Evans at .337. Also doing fine work both at bat and in the field were veterans Louie Armendariz, Buddy Phillips, Les Nieblas, Joe Reed, and Ron Dickerson. Newcomers Bob Thompson, Jack Brick, Herb Farrar, and A1 Totman contributed greatly to the record. Next year Coach John McConnell's nine will begin play, for the first time, in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. They will meet such teams as Cal Poly (SLO), Fresno, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles in league play. 138 STATE HORSEHIDERS—Front row: Joy Davis, Buddy Phillips, Dimas Garcia, Les Nieblas.

Second row: Mike Stack (mgr), Hal Grutbo, Doug Strong, Chuck Course, Coach Bob Pestolesi. Led by top-notchers Hal Grutbo, Doug Strong, and Chuck Course, the 1956 L.B.S.C. tennis team set a new record of fourteen wins and just two losses. Grutbo, a sophomore, played number one man until an injury took him out of action late in the season. Both Strong and Course are seniors. Chuck Acosta, Hollis Harvey, and Bob Spencer rounded out the top six. Acosta and Harvey (both juniors) and Spencer (a freshman) pro- vided Coach Pestolesi with many a key victory. Jack Watkins, Chuck Kates, and Jim Martin added strong reserve strength to the 49er attack. HAL GRUTBO—1st Singles DOUG STRONG—2nd Singles 142 Golf Led by low medalist Keith Flanders, the 1956 edition of the State golf team chalked up seven wins against six losses. In tournament play, they finished sixth out of nine schools in the Southern Cali- fornia Intercollegiate tournament, and third out of six schools in the California Collegiate Athletic Association. Playing in the Southern California Golf League, L.B.S.C. won five matches against three losses to finish second to San Diego State College. Flanders is a graduating senior and a two-year letterman� he will be sorely missed by next year's team. Also leaving by the bachelor route are Larry Davidson, Dick Hillman, and Andy Vander Dussen. The rest of the squad was made up of Bob Ward, Jim Mays, Lowell Renolds, and Joe Petti.

Many of the teams were well matched and the competitive spirit displayed left the championship in doubt during most of the season, but S.A.E. Purple fin- ally won top honors. Volleyball next occupied the attention of intra- mural athletes with 14 teams competing in a round-robin tournament which also led to vic- tory for the S.A.E. team. Turning to basketball, participants set a new high in State intramural history by fielding 19 teams. For the first time independent squads outnumbered those representing fraternities. In place of the usual round-robin, pressure of the number of entries and lack of indoor facilities combined to force a double-elimination tourna- ment, which was won by the P.E Club. In other intramural events State's men competed in table tennis, tennis, and softball, to complete our busiest intramural schedule. INTRA-TENNIS, ANYONE?” Tennis was the last event on the Intramural calendar with twenty participants. 144 SHIFTY—A crafty S.A.E. back eludes the grasp of a Sigma Pi lineman and looks downfield for a receiver. POW! Rich Hulse of S.A.E. Purple gets sot to toe off on a pitch during an intramural softball league tussle. As the month of June beckons, the Senior ponders the impending RESPONSIBILITIES after Commencement. There is a hitch in his gait when he leaves classes and a re- luctance in his smile as the professor de- livers the final lecture. In a sense, MORTARBOARDS are last indig- nities heaped on the departing graduate. Nostalgically, the buildings somehow be- come Grecian memorials, and the music strains deep in the fond memories of the sweet and bittersweet MOMENTS of YOUTH. But now the backward glance is over and our graduates face the FUTURE with courage. Here are the men and women best trained to meet the demands of modern industry and society . . . Here are the architects and builders of TOMORROW! Masters Beverly J. Allen Education Mary A. Barrs Psychology Gene C. Berry Social Science Philip R. Cogbill Social Science Dwight D.
