It Offers Resources of Men and C lasses; Entries in a War Journal Number One Our Campus Goes to War Number Two Personnel Adjusts to War Number Three Our Sophomores Prepare Number Four Our Men and Women Serve Number Five Diary of a College Year Student Life Changes Preface This publication of the 1943 Argus make no effort to follow the yearbook pattern of two years ago, or even one year ago when the 1942 annual, in an outstanding contribution to the Ar- gus file, made the departmentalized static review of a college year, a student ' s biography of action, filled with the emotion and the color of that significant year. In that book the continuity of student life, in spite of shock and change, rounded its cycle on the campus as in the story. Student life in 1943 has had no such rhythmic pattern. The campus has felt the impact of war: change has been the keynote, adjustment the watchword. Loyalty and campus spirit of the students has remained through all of the emotional tumult but interests have focused sharply on crises nearer to the personal relationship than campus parties. The last wall is down: There is no slightest separation of the world and campus. In this year there has been a new pattern formed with new ideas, new ex- periences, and new relationships. It is a new pattern, like a score of modern music which, dif- fering from the pieces from an older mold, seems at first to have no melody. On closer examination, there is a theme — dedication to the winning of the war, whether in immediate active service or in the preparation for long-span projects which will have great value in the future history of the country — that unifies and directs the program of the year. This is the theme of the War Journal. The 1943 Argus has been issued for the studentbody by the Publications department. Editor Eugene Gaylor started the journal plan before he left for service. Other staff members were called until the book was eventually edited by the department with individual contributions: action photographs of football and basketball, Gaylor, Bob Campbell, and Elwyn Knapp; soph- omore photograph schedule and names, Ray Colbern; men in service, listed and edited, George Vinnedge. Material for the entire Campus Life section was compiled by Louise Wassner, representative of the Argus on the student council, with the ex- ception of football and basketball copy which was written by Stan Birdsall and edited by Jack Booth. Several Campus photo- graphs by Arthur Anderson. Our Campus Goes to War -1HCG0 5t Mechanics C h a f f e y aeronautics shops service the planes and remodel many for the Silver Lake line. At all times there are several machines on the floor in various stages of con- struction by skilled A and E mechanics working with the complete eguip- ment of the department. At Silver Lake Camp Olof Snyder (right) assists Mr. Means as director of ground school classes. Alfred Holmer is camp manager for the barracks, mess halls, students rooms, kitchen, and generator plant. The camp has a high rating for the success which the men achieve in passing their exam- ination in navigation, meteorology, military science, code, civil air regulations, servicing aircraft en- gines, mathematics, physics, and military drill. Their flight training is also distinguished. The camp is carefully managed with fresh food brought from the home campus twice a week, air- conditioned mess halls and bar- racks, and a complete refrigeration plant. War Train Military Review in the rear quadrangle in November shows the calibre of War Training Service men who marched in uniform a few days after training had be- gun with Olof Snyder for ground work. Jean Pehl, president of the Associated Women students, presented the Silver Lake Flag to the group on this occasion. ing Service Trainees Marching men in uniform, the stir of music by the drum corps, the flag flying in the west wind — This sight awakens the student council to the spirit of the year, prepares them for the changes which came in class and students events. Following this event, trainees left for the desert camp. The guad is a focal point in student life through which everyone passes between buildings and playing fields. Freshmen and sophomores sit on the lawns in com- panionable circles at noon or relax on Memorial watching the shadow of an air- plane flick across the sunny grass. Learn Theory, Start Fligh Sydney S. Means (left), director of the Chaffey Silver ' Lake Flight camp, is in charge of the primary and secondary War Service Trainees who have worked in different classes. The student personnel W.T.S., formerly known as Civilian Pilot Training, was appointed by the Civil Aeronautics Authority at Santa Monica under the direction of Super- visor Harold Bromley. While the Chaffey C.P.T. training was at the camp, Miss S. Helen Brown (left) served as recruiting officer. Ships of the line numbered twenty-five in May, including Fleets, Travel Airs, Wacos, and Cubs. The May class of primary and secondary trainees started with the finest ships and the largest corps of instructor yet at the camp. (top) F. O.

Personnel Adjusts to Change President, Gardiner W. Spring, superintendent of Chaffey and president of Chaffey junior col- lege, has dedicated this campus and this col- lege to the promotion of the war effort for victory. To this end, with the assistance of the Chaffey board of trustees, he developed the eguipment and personnel necessary for war classes on the campus, cooperated with the government war programs, and sponsor- ed the aviation program which, since 1935, has made Chaffey on the air-minded colleges of America. Chaffey Flight Camp at Silver Lake is one of two schools in Cali- fornia designated by the Civil Air Authority to train its classes of War Training Service trainees. Norman Lawson, president of the Chaffey Board of Trustees, will retire at the end of this term because of the pressure of war work. Mr. Lawson has been a member of the group since 1934 and served as chairman of the education committee before he became president in 1941. Chaffey board members and President Spring have worked to develop Chaffey col- lege this year. They have met every change brought about by war conditions with careful planning and had confidence in the future of the college. Donovan Palmer, served as vice president; H. S. Bailey as clerk. J. E. Bailie and Newton Trautman completed the group. Henry Wass of Upland, elected to fill the place of Mr. Lawson at the end of his term will take his seat July 1. (above) President Gardiner W.

Daniels, business manager of Chaffey, has charge of the ordering and purchasing of everything from a bolt to an airplane for the home campus and the Sil- ver Lake flight camp. Prob- lem of priorities, budgets, ra- tioning and transportation are only a portion of his head- aches. He is also vice-chair- man of the local Civilian De- fense Transportation and communications committee. (above) A.

Both taught classes in public speaking as an emerg- ency measure, (below) Registrar Janiece Bailey advises a student who is arranging her classes. Director Charles J. Booth com- pleted another year of successful counseling students and organizing the college curriculum to meet needs of the war. He worked constantly with the faculty to make the classes offered fit immediate situations for the students; classes were accelerat- ed, additional offerings in mathema- tics and science placed in the cur- riculum, and new organization of old classes made. An illustration of the latter was the stream- lining of the men ' s physi- cal fitness program. Assistant Director Leo A. Wadisworth aided in the immediate counseling of students programs and helped with administra- tive details. Mr. Wads- worth worked with many faculty committees opf specific y-y Administrators Dean Pearl E. Clark found the women eager for information con- cerning their place in the war effort and counseled them throughout the year. She served also as adviser for the Associated Women Students and the Young Women ' s Christian association. With Dean Hall she took over some of Mr. Flum ' s classes in mathematics. Dr. Clark was awarded her doctor ' s degree at the University of Southern California this spring although she completed the work during the summer. She was congratulated by members cf the college faculty at a tea in her honor. Dean Walter A. Hall had a busy year as he served as liaison officer for the college reserves of the armed forces on the campus, and acted as adviser for all men who wished in- formation about the different branches of the service. When Mr. Flum left he taught his engineering classes and became adviser for the tennis sguad and Engineers club. (above) Dr. Pearl E. Clark, dean of women, holds an informal conference in her office, (below) Dean Walter A. Hall makes contacts for the men who are determining their military status. National Defense classes and those closely connected with the warm emergency occupied Dr. R. E. Berry, director of adult education, and his staff this year. Hundreds of men and women enrolled for special day and evening work on the home campus and at the Chaffey airdrome. The program included the federal groups of Off-Reservation-In-Service Training Classes, in machine shop, parachute packing, leather work, aircraft engines, airplane construction. Adult national defense classes, training for work in the aircraft fac- tories, operated around the clock through the winter months in the machine shops. Classes which were definitely related to the war effort were the only ones offered in the regular evening school. These included PBX; business classes in typewriting, bookkeeping, ofiice machines, shorthand; Spanish; orange and lemon packing, sewing, woodshop, mechanical drawing. A series of lectures and demonstrations in agriculture, teaching new gardeners how to raise vegetables, chickens, and rab- bits were followed by a series of demonstrations by members of the home economic department on methods of food preservation — hot water bath canning, pressure cooker canning, and dehydration. Red C ross home nursing classes continued throughout the year. In May classes in English and agriculture were developed with a bi-lingual faculty for the group of Mexican Nationals brought into the district to help with the citrus harvest. Faculty Meets Challenge Chaffey college faculty dedicated themselves to the task of offer- ing as much higher education as possible to young men about to enter the armed forces this year, to those men and women who reguired special training for defense industry, and to those whose long-span plan included training at the universities. To this end they studied and made every adjustment of teaching assignment and change of course. When members of the teach- ing staff left to join the service or enter defense industry, they closed the ranks and carried on so that no class was discontinued because of lack of teaching personnel. College faculty mem- bers have served the cause of higher education and the con- tinuation of the American way of life in a company as loyal and as devoted as those whom they honor in the country ' s service. The role of eight members who are on military leave for the duration of the war is one which they respect. Faculty Service Roll Captain Paul J. Birkofer United States Army Air Corps Sgt.

Griffith, Howard R. Stafford. Chaffey faculty members, during this war year, made every effort to carry on the scholas- tic schedule which overcome difficulties of stu- dent programming and faculty personnel. They adjusted their programs and cheerfully accept- ed new subjects to teach and also shared in the civilian defense activities of the area. Mathematics, one of the subjects which fitted the needs of reserve programs, was orig- inally taught by Arthur Flum (M.A. from the University of Southern California), and Dean Walter A. Hall (M.A. from the University of Southern California). When many new classes were offered for service training and Mr. Flum left to become a lieutenant (j.g.) in the United States Naval Reserve, Dean Pearl E. Clark taught with Mr. Hall in the new program. Science department members likewise made adjustments. Harold Merchant, (M. A. from Pomona College) continued with full chemistry classes, assisted by Howard R. Stan- ford (M.S. from the University of Illinois), in- structor in Plant Pathology and Botany. Mr. Stanford carried on his own classes in Botany as did Russell R. Dysart (MA. from the Univers- ity of Southern California) in geology and min- erology. Mrs. W. T. Griffith (M.A. from Pomona College) taught anatomy, zoology, and biology. She assisted Miss Kellogg at the Civil Defense casualty station on the campus. Mrs. Griffith, the former Miss Vesta Newsom, has resigned at the end of the semester. Glenn Moody (M.S. from University of California) instructed in Pomology as George P. Weldon, re- covering from an illness, this year managed the Chaffey experimental peach orchard. Mr. Moody left dur- ing the spring to enter industry in seed propagation. Clarence Calhoun (M.S. from University of California) taught classes in floriculture and gardening. Members of the other science de- partment likewise made changes during the year. W. W. Cushing, chairman of the department, (M.S. from Drury College) continued his schedule throughout the year. Jack White (M.A. from Stanford University) continued his instruction in physics classes and coached football during the fall semester. In the spring, he left for the United States Naval Reserve for officer ' s work. His classes were continued by Paul L. Moses, formerly teaching in Chaffey high school (B.S. from North Carolina State College). Language classes had some shift in faculty personnel as Miss Gilberte Gatignol came up from Chaffey high school to teach the French classes. (M.A. from the University of California) Miss Dorothy Webter (M.A. from Stan- ford University) instructed in Spanish classes and assisted Miss Kellogg at the campus casualty station. L. J.

Math- er, chairman of the political science department. Watson O ' Dell Pierce, psychology instructor, left during the winter for civil service work. His place was filled by Miss S. Helen Brown (M.A. Colum- bia University), Chaffey district psy- chologist, ns a war measure. Lt. Col. Herschel Griffin has been on military leave from this department since the beginning of the war. -fl tf a A-- Miss Orra Mabon (B.A. Pomona Col- lege) was chairman of the Women ' s Phys- ical Education department. Miss Harriet Reeder enlisted in the WAVES during the winter and left the department on military leave. Miss Mabon retires from teaching at the end of the present term. She is a graduate of the Ontario High School and came to Chaffey union high school to teach in 1917. Miss Louise Kellogg, R. N. (B.A. Mt. Holyoke) is in charge of the health center in the women ' s gymnasium. She is also in charge of the civil defense casualty station. Mrs. Geoffrey Fleming, R. N. (P.H.N. Cook County Hospital) teaches college home nursing and adult education work. S. Earle Blakeslee, (B.A. Pomona college) continued with the Chaffey Svmphonic Choir, formerly the Chaffey a cappella choir, and his voice classes. Ralph Streano (Coombs Conservatory) was in charge of the Chaffey Sym- phonic orchestra as formerly and the Chaffey band, former- ly directed by Murray Owen who resigned to enter defense industry. Charles Jones join- ed the enlisted reserve. Miss Helen Hendrickson was secre- tary to the department. Miss Lela McClelland (spe- cial credential from Pomona Col- lege) increased the number of classes in arts and crafts as the need for trained therapists grew.

P Besides adjustments in class syllabi and added ] courses, faculty made every effort to help the students in- 1 dividually in their problems of orientation and schedule planning. As men and women left for service or defense positions, faculty members assisted them to complete their academic work. Arrangements were made which allowed partial credits for short tearm attendance. With other colleges and junior colleges men, when they return to college or when they are eligible for graduation, Chaf- fy faculty and administration voted to allow a number of credits for six months active service in the army. Department of Business educa- tion developed its program for ac- celerated classes for adults and special students, and made plans to open classes during the sum- mer session. Melvin Shimmin, chairman (M.A. University of California) directed Mrs. Dewey Leubbers (M.A. University of Southern California) and Alex M e n d o s a (M.A. University of Southern California) Mrs. Leub- bers, formerly Miss Emma Ord- nung, taught shorthand and type- writing and Mr. Mendosa business law and bookkeeping. W. W. Mather (M.A. Claremont Colleges) is chairman of the poli- tical science department, instruct- ing in political science and gov- ernment. Miss Hettie Witney (M. A. Stanford University) taught his- tory and world problems; Mr. Horsch, economics. Dean Pearl Clark instructed in philosophy and sociolology until her program was changed to take care of mathe- matics classes. F. O. Felsch (A E certificate) was chairman of the aeronautics work with E. H. Cooper, Harold Stickney, assisting in the repair shops. The department remodeled airplanes for the Silver Lake flight camp and taught engines and air- craft construction. Arthur Hargrove (B.S., Colorado State Agricultural College) instructed in mech- anical drawing, especially classes for women entering the aircraft plants. Frank Young continued his work in machine shop where his gadgets helped make some war contracts more smooth. Domestic science department took the initiative in the development of food pre- servation and offered lectures and demon- strations throughout the spring before women ' s clubs and other groups which re- guested the work. Miss Lois Kent, chair- man, (M.A. University of California) was also in charge of food for Silver Lake camp.

Wienies cooked over the fire, malts in the Kitchen, lunch on the grass, pot luck suppers in the lounge, talk on the front steps or the Memorial bench. Men and Women Serve This Was a Year of Decision — Uppermost in every student ' s mind this year was the ques- tion of the manner in which he was going to take part in the war effort. Women as well as men felt the urge for active participa- tion, but there was not the immediate urgency which prompted the men to enlistment. The year became, for the men, one of decision: They were obliged to make up their minds whether they would wait until called in the draft, enter active or reserve enlistment, essential industry, or specialty training corps. Such a complexity upset the ordinary year for the men to such an ex- tent that college programs necessarily took a minor place in their lives until the decision for action had been made and their course decided up.

Enlisted Reserve Dean Walter A. Hall served as liaison officer at the college for the armed forces in getting information to all men regard- ing the reguirements for enlistment and preparation for college reserves. His files contained the latest information for all branches of the service in relation to college men, and he kept them informed by conference and group meetings. As college representative for the college re- serve groups, he advised army, marine, and Navy V-l reserves, assisting the men in preparing their college programs to fit the needs of the service and informing them of opportunities for college trained men. Student reserve groups organized a club with Ralph Allen and Victor Torrance co-presidents. They met at intervals for special programs, organ- ized non-credit noon classes in code, and reguest- ed a special physical education program with military drill. Mr. Hall served as adviser. At different times when college procurement committees visited the campus to meet the men interested in the various branches of the service, he made such program and contacts possible. He assisted in informing the seventeen year-old boys of the opportunities of the army A- 12 and navy V-l 2 Special Training program examination which was offered on the campus in the spring. He notified the V-l reserves before their determ- ing examination which was given in April.

Chaff ey Alumni Serve Dedication To the Chctffey men who have made the supreme sacrifice on training field or in combat, To the Chaffey men and women now serving in the armed forces over the world, This 1943 war Argus is dedicated in recognition of their courage and valor, their selfless devotion in the struggle for the perpetuation of the American way of life. We Honor our Heroes Eulogy Twelve golden jewels mocked The grasping hand of earth And their souls unmasked to Heaven That her victory might have birth. Twelve golden gems have severed Life ' s fine golden thread, To shed light upon the living, To cast glory on the dead. Twelve golden voices blend In Heaven ' s hallow ' d lay, And through all the dismal blackness Yet these golden notes hold sway. O Father, as thy hand shall grasp These heroes to thy breast, Breathe on them thy Benediction To thy tired Earth grant rest. J. W. B.

Names represent men in every branch of the armed forces serving over the world: army, navy, navy sea bees, coast guard, army air corps, navy air corps, marine air corps, mer- chant maine, coast guard. Many enlisted; some were called in the draft; some entered the armv with Company G State Guard which left during the first months after war was declared. As more than half of the Chaffey graduates finished during the last decade, the greater number of alumni names are from the classes 1933-43. The last three classes have practically every able-bodied man in some form of active service, specializ- ed college training, agriculture, or essential industry. Approxi- mate two hundred men left Chaffey this year in these classifica- tions. Study of the files shows that a large group is already com- posed of commissioned officers. One reason may be the num- ber who have qualified as pilots, but there is evidence that Chaf- fey men have training which qualifies them for advanced work. The number who have advanced to Officer Training School from the ranks grows with each report. Many of the men have al- ready been in non-commissioned positions and are qualifying tor advanced work. Promotions in all positions in the armed forces are being made so rapidly that no complete information is available. Chaffey women are enlisting in increasinq numbers. Army and Navy nurses have been recruited from Chaffey graduates. Two women are commissioned officers in the army as physio- therapists and are serving in hospitals in the country. Members of the women ' s auxiliaries include four members of the WAACS and ten members of the WAVES. In the latter group is Ensign Harriet Reeder, member of the women ' s physical education department, who is serving in the recreation depart- ment of the training station at Hunter College, New York. in the Air-over the World Chaffey Men Fly More than half of the names in the Chaffey college ' s service file are those in the air corps of the different branchs of the ser- vice. Pilots, both combat fighters and instructors, and men in every capacity in ground work are with the army, navy, and marine corps. There is direct connection between the enlist- ment and transfer of so many men to these services with the fact that Chaffey college aeronautics has been developing since 1935 and hundreds of men received their training in engines, welding, maintenance, and aircraft construction which fitted them for work in aircraft factories and later ground crews with the armed forces. Many of this group continued with flight training. Besides those who took the Chaffey aeronautics work all who attended college during those years felt the impact of the aircraft industry in the life of Southern California and were familiar with the conceptions of the air age before it receivea popular discussion. As soon as flight classes started at Chaffey some years ago, students combined actual flying with college classroom study naturally and the early Civilian Pilot Training classes were filled with Chaffey students who received Associate in Arts degrees and finished their flight and ground school work. One of the first Chaffey groups at Silver Lake under the Civilian Pilot Train- ing enlisted in the Navy Air Corps as a unit. These men have completed their work and are serving throughout the world. The group includes Lt. Douglas Kelley, Marine Air Corps; Lt. Charles Mann, Marine Air Corps; Lt. Roy Backstein, Marine Air Corps; Lt. Roger Knight, Marine Air Corps; Lt. William Barber, Marine Air Corps; Ensign Gilbert Macias, U. S. Navy Air Corps; Ensign Richard E. Hanna, Naval Air Corps; Lt. Dean Keller, Marine Air Corps; Lt. William Kilgour, Marine Air Corps. With the characteristic swift action of the air corps, men have seen action and received promotions. Many of the men who finished their training period since the beginning of the war are captains and, according to the known records in the publications office, several have reached the rank of major. These include Major James Philpott, ' 32; Major Joe G. Schneider, ex ' 32; Major Roger Page, ' 38; Major Ira Cornett, ' 35; Major Robert Martens, ' 38; and Major Gerald Holsclaw, ' 37. Medals and Citations Ten Chaffey college alumni, according to information avail- able May 1, 1943, have received citations for valor in action. All of these are air medals, one of them awarded posthumously. Captain Gerald Cherymisin, ' 36, received the army air medal for heroic action in the Pacific theatre of war when he or- ganized a repair crew for an abandoned B-17 and flew it with one technical sergeant as co-pilot to Australia, delivering fifteen persons safely during the evacuation of Java. Most of the flight was made v ith only three engines, with none of the plane ' s in- struments functioning, and with no charts, radio, or navigation aids. The army air medal was awarded Lt. Ernest Kiss, for out- standing combat work in North Africa last fall when he partici- pated in and distinguished himself in five aerial assaults. Lt. Jacob Onstott, ' 35, was decorated for heroism in the North African campaign by the navy last month. He received the navy service medal a year ago for convoy duty in the North Atlantic. Lt. Leland H. Ramp, ' 39, recently received the Army Air Medal for flying. He also holds the Silver Star for distinguished service. Ensign Leonard T. Smith, ' 37, was awarded the Navy Cross and citation posthumously for valor in action. Lt. Bruce Harwood, ' 29, was awarded the navy cross for lead- ing his sguadron unsupported against Japanese invaders. Lt. Thomas Frank Pollock. ' 32, pilot in the naval air force, was awarded the Silver Star for his flight from Australia to Cor- regidor before the fall of Bataan in which he delivered medical supplies and rescued several wounded men. Sgt. Leslie Beck, ex ' 38, was decorated for participating in four major battles with the famous 19th Bomb Sguadron before that company was officially broken up. Sgt. Beck has been re- leased from hospitalization in Australia and returned to active duty. Lt. William Martensen, ex ' 37, recently returned from Gua- dalcanal with the Distinguished Flying Cross and the Air Medal for participation in fifty-two combat missions with a bombard- ment sguadron. Lt. Lloyd Patterson, ' 38, co-pilot of a Flying Fortress, was awarded the Purple Heart Medal. Severely wounded, his pilot dead, he successfully brought in his plane. (Reports of citations, promotions, and awards are reguested by the Publications Office, Chaffey junior college, in order to complete the Service Files.) Campus Life pfyfi Chaffey War Journal September 18 — Registration. New tempo was imme- diately felt in events of the day and new situations were apparent although the buildings and campus seemed to be the same. Men were changing pre-registrations to fit needs of the armed forces. Topics of conversation were enlistments, letters from abroad, possible accelerated pro- grams to get through more guicklv than usual. Orders or conservation of rubber were brought home as the school board eliminated intercolleaiate athletics for the year because of the government ruling which prevented anyone using school buses for transportation of athletic teams. Thirty men suited up for football practice the first night. Many sguad members did not return — they were already in the arme d forces. September 21 — Classes began with many women sign- ed up for pre-nursing courses and men doubling in science and mathematics. Changes in the faculty were evident: Murray Owen, Miss Kathrvn Hyde, Charles Jones were in other olaces. Miss Gilberte Gatignol was in the French room; Rex Brandt was teaching a class in painting in the art room. September 24 — Y.W.C.A. women a e sandwiches, grapes, and cake at the first patio luncheon at which women new to the campus became acquainted with older members of the student body. September 28 — Fall classes in Civilian Pilot Training — changed at the turn of the year officially to War Training Service — started ground school training on the campus, using the women ' s gymnasium as barracks.

After two weeks ' work on the campus the group left for the Chaffey Flight Camp at Silver Lake near Baker lor flight train- ing and the continuation of the ground classes. Flight Director Sydney S. Means was in charge at Silver Lake. September 25— Press Club break- fast directed by President Jeff Ayres. September 26 — First college pro- curement committee composed of re- presentatives of the different branches of the armed forces visited assembly and explained reguirements for enlist- ment. October 1 — Number 1, volume 12, of the Chaffey United Press appeared in tabloid form, edited by Jack Booth and his staff. The paper was in chang- ed format to conserve paper and labor during the war. October 5 — Faculty members held an informal tea honoring Dean Pearl E. Clark who completed her work for her doctorate during the summer. She was awarded her degree at the Febru- ary graduation exercises at the Uni- versity of Southern California. October 8 — Ruth Jane Blackman, president of the McDowell club, was in charge of the sale of student tickets to the Civic Concert Series for the sea- son. October 8 — Sixty-five members of Dean Hall is picking out a good one for someone. Everyone has a full-sized steak.

October 8 — Trucks of W.A.A. mem- bers, crews of men, and faculty don- ned jeans and boots, rolled out to the vineyards, tomato patches, and or- chards of the district to help save the crops. Women sunburned their faces and their shoulders in the tomatoes and grapes; men made more money with less struggle in the peaches. Af- ter the immediate ■ need for the fail crops was past, crews of men contin- ued to help in fumigating, pruning, and picking of oranges and lemons. The smudging crews were luckily never called out. Labor survey show- ed that most of the men and women already had part time work in stores or in agriculture throughout the year. October 9 — Big day on the campus. Afternoon and evening festivities marked the big four-way all-college celebration of the beginning of the term. Trainees of the flight class pre- sented a military review on the inner guadrangle at which Jean Pehl, presi- dent of the associated women students presented the camp flag to Mr. Snyder in appropriate ceremony. Student council members stood with visiting guest editors and President Gardiner W. Spring to watch the men pass in review. After sun-down ceremony, the student body focused attention on the women ' s athletic field from which odors of barbecuing steaks had been advertising the annual student body steak bake for some hours. Swim- mers who had enjoyed the dip in the plunge and dancers from the informal afternoon get-together in the gymnasium joined the crowd until more than 300 students and faculty were lined up in the queue before tables spread with salad, buns, milk, and potato chips and carried their heaping plates to ta- bles where the steaks were forked out to them. Steaks had been cooked in the barbecue pits under the eyes of watchful chefs. Hello Day tickets which everyone had worn on his lapel since morning were no lonaer needed as an in- troduction after the dinner was over. Everyone knew his neigh- bor. All went into the auditorium and settled with a sigh of steak-satisfaction for the motion picture, last event of the day. Student chair- men who carried out the d a y ' s pro- gram were as fol- lows: Don Rogers, tickets; Bill Schaefer, steaks; Don Keep, reservations; Hollis Hartley, dance; Mary Jane Gillen, publicity; Ralph Lar- son, clean-up; Betty Ann Lumpkin, serv- ing; Marilyn Spenc- er, salad; and Lila Mae Beck, rolls.

The five-column, ten by sixteen inch sheet was as different from the eight-column regular-sized newspaper as 1943 was from 1931. This is the war Press. Jack Booth and his staff made the shift in format and style, a tremendous job, as the staff has been trained for the larger paper and there was the problem of setting up an entirely new style sheet and re-educating the staff in a different type of newswriting. Staff became acquainted with the new prob- lems at the Press club breakfast which Presi- dent Jeff Ayres man- aged. Eighteen mem- bers heard discussions of policy and historical background from guest Director C. J. Booth, ad- viser M. A. Stanford, and editor Jack Booth. Four eight-page is- sues of the Press were edited at different times during the year: First issue, December, March and commencement paper. Each com- memorated a special item: aviation at Chaf- fey, military, national defense classes, news, (top) Jack Booth, editor-in-chief first semester; (above) Leona Nation (left) and Ray Barnett (right), business manager first and second semesters; (right) Harold Monroe (extreme right) circulation manager and assistant, An- thony Greco distributing the Press in the hall Thursday noon. summer school announcement, and commencement. Most popular feature of the year was the column of news about Chaf- fey men in service. This weekly article was enlarged to two pages of pictures and news for each special edition. More than one hundred and fifty military subscriptions went out weekly to men in service. Freshman edition was May 20 with the following staff: Leona Nation, editor; Avonne Moore, features; Stella DeLacey, women ' s editor; Mary Eddy, sports; Anthony Greco, city editor. Florence St. Clair, proof desk; Jean Watt, clubs; Rosalie Schumaker, home economics; Geneva Smith, editorials, Barbara Griffin, exchanges; Ray Barnett, advertising.

Spec-fed editions of the Press were made possible by the flexibility of the small sophomore staff and the loyalty of the freshman group which was willing to help in any emerg- ency. The editions were published in order to furnish more news of the men in service and the war efforts of Chaffey college. First special edi- tion in October had as extra editors, Gene Gaylor, aeronautics; Jack Booth, military; and Harry St. Clair, features. December issue had the addition of Robert Latham, military and Stan Birdsall on the two center pages. In the March issue Stan Birdsall was military editor, Jack Booth, summer session.

Rubber conservation, information about gas rationing which was schedul ed to come in the winter, difficul- ties in getting some kinds of food, made a difference in social calen- dars. Meatless days brought prob- lems in dinners, not only for Lcs Comedores, but also for Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. dinners.

Football, 1943 Few tragedies marred the smoothness of college life this year, but one which grieved the hearts of all was the death of Smilin ' Jim C a s s i d y, athletic trainer. For 13 years he instilled athletes with ambition and ideals and truly was known to all as trainer, gentleman, and friend. Born and reared in Philadelphia, Jim at- tended high school there and later was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where he later became head train- As in college administration and policy, changes were effected this year in inter-collegiate football because of the decided and pressing needs of the nation to preserve its rubber supply. The use of school busses for transpor- tation of team members to athletic contests was curtailed by the government, so many colleges, Chaffey included, were guick to solve the problem through adoption of intra- mural sports programs to replace league competition. Success with the new venture was realized from the first, since the general shortage of exceptional talent made available the participation of many who were eag- er for the opportunity to prove what they could do. Sea- son records show that they pl ayed as enthusiastic a game as former varsity units. Coaching staffs have revealed that regardless of modification, the past season was one of the mosf successful in years be- cause it opened the field of sports to a host of newcomers. Anxiously awaited are results from the same plan given a trial in other sports as well as in other in- stitutions. Of interest is the announce- ment by leading grid coaches of Eastern universities that modifica- tions of their athletic programs in- clude such intra-mural work as Chaf- fey has displayed. S. Cutuli er. Activity and interest in the set-up was proved by t h e fact that play-off games were required to decide championships among various groups, and through the realiza- tion that participation was a definite step to- ward the sports plans out- lined in the nation ' s phy- sical fitness program. Above: James Smilin ' Jim Cassidy, athletic trainer. L. Hayes Enlistment of former head coach Burt Heiser prior to football season last year made necessary a complete juggling of the physi- cal education department. Coach Heiser left Chaffey to accept a commission as First Lieu- tenant in the Army Air Corps physical edu- cation program. Receiving his officer ' s train- ing in Florida, he was stationed at Minter Field., and was later transferred to head the physical fitness program of the Fourth Fight- er command on the Pacific coast. Stepping into the vacancy left by Coach Heiser, Jack White, college physics instruc- tor and former line coach, announced the continuation of football under the modified intra-murai and intra-city program. Mr. White, alumnus and four-year letterman of Stanford university, left the college near mid- term to accept a lieutenant ' s commission in the Naval Reserve, following the successful completion of the season. Coach White re- ceived his naval training at Chapel Hills, Carolina, and was later transferred to Holly- wood, Florida. John Meek, graduate of Chaffey high school, assistant coach of the Panther sguad, completes the trio. He was the first to heed his nation ' s call. Coach Meek, widely known for his athletic ability at the University of California, had taught at Chaffey for years, and now serves as a lieutenant in the army, instructing in the physical fitness program. A + present heading the Chaffey physical education program department is Coach Howard Muggs Mitchell, under whose su- pervision the entire college physical fitness program functions. Coach Mitchell not only coached high school football last year, but college basketball and track as well, in addi- tion to his daily classes, run in accordance with both state and reserve enlistment stan- dards. Clarence Calhoun, science instruc- tor, assisted White as line coach. Holiis Hartley, guarterback and two-year letterman, was chosen cap- tain of the college eleven at a banguet held in honor of the team by Director Charles J. Booth. For exceptional field generalship and all-around excellence he was awarded the traditional Chaf- fey blanket. Through Hartley ' s ability on the gridiron, the Panther machine was held together and made a smooth working unit. His spirit and work on defense deserve him a niche with Chaffey ' s best. Hartley left college during the se- cond semester this year to serve in the meteorologicl division of the U. S. Ar- my, and loss, both as athlete and stu- dent, was keenly felt throughout the campus. In addition to his sports activities in football and track, Hartley was a mem- ber of Alpha Gamma Sigma, Fresh- man class president, member of the student council, and Associated Men Students ' president.

Coacl T fojmdtio wiihVMdjt- Getting underway the hard way, Chaffey ' s Panthers suffered a 26-0 defeat at the hands of the campus-based Chaffey Air Technicians, service team. This outfit fielded a machine composed mainly of former college and uni- versity material coached by Cecil Jordan, former gridiron great from Georgia Tech. Weight disadvantage proved the handicap that marred the Panther record off-and-on throughout the season, and was responsible for failure of the college machine to halt the scoring drives of heavier econd encounter with the same aggregation, rs gathered steam and scoring punch, but were nosea- ' Out once again 27-18. Piling up a 12-0 lead, the o iege eleven was sparked by fleet half-back Weldon ubaker. The lead was short-lived, however, as the army grabbed it via the aerial rout to 20-1 2. Hollis Hartley fired a pass to Newton IToey for another score to pull the locals up to 20-18, but the army again struck for six and admin- istered the nightcap, making the final tally, 27-18. Writing the finish to a bumpy season, the Panthers held field day against a game but out-classed Observa- tion Airdrome squad, rough-housing the Dukes, 58-0, in a wild scoring melee. Three touchdowns by Max Cram- er, two by Terryl Roberts, and one each by Walt Zmolek, Paul Hofer, Leonard Hayes, and Ray Lee, and conversions by Cramer, Don Smith, Dale Hewitt, and Hollis Hartley ac- counted for the 53 points. Max Cramer L. Lewke D. L. Smeltzer Howard Mitchell Furthering interscholastic spirit and competition, two games were played between the high school and college during the season. In their first engagement the high school Tigers, coached by Howard Muggs Mitchell, held the Panthers in check for the entire game, which ended in a scoreless tie. In the final minutes of play the collegians made their major threat when they advanced to within their opponents ' 20-yard line, only to fumble prior to the final gun. Lack of practice slowed both machines to a certain extent. In the second clash, the Panthers suffered at 18-0 de- feat because of casualties and absence of Hollis Hartley, stellar guarterback and line backer. The Tigers scored a touchdown in each of the last three periods. Injuries and lack of linemen harassed the sguad throughout the season, and freguent drafting of members did its share in hindering precision teamwork and prac- tice. In the face of these difficulties and with the general lack of experience, a successful season was run off, how- ever, and proved what a college can do even though for no other satisfaction than the love of a sport. Football this year served not only as a binding force for the student body, but a guinea pig for the trial of an intra-mural pro- gram which probably will gain favor throughout the coun- try as modifications are made necessary. Coincident with the close of football season was an announcement by the Chaffey Board of Directors that next season will see the use of A cards to circumvent the difficulties presented bv lack of state-authorized transportation. Schedules and ar- rangements with out-of- town schools will remain in a tentative state until seasons are actually un- derway, with actual de- tails reserved until pre- g a m e announcement. Necessitating this policy are the doubts harbored by many schools as to the actuality of their fielding teams in view of constant- ly modified draft laws and enlistment changes.

Intra Mural Basketball December— Basketball season started with a strong intra-mural tournament of eight teams play- ina a series of afternoon games. Competition was keen among forty players who had come out at the call of Coach Howard Mitchell and Athletic Mana- ger Joe Jertberg. The play brought out manv men who had had little experience and several who would have been ineligible for league competition. From the tournament group Coach Mitchell was able to pick a competent team for regular basket- ball games. Captains were apoointed by the coach from ex- perienced players. Each selected his own team. Leaders included Spud Curtis, stellar forward for the past two vears at Chaffey in intercollegiate play; Walter Zmolek, Chaffey college guard for the past two years; Paul Hofer, three-year guard on the Chaffey high school sguad; Herman Zmolek, for- ward on the Chaffey high school five for the past three years- Harry McBeth, letterman forward on the Panther quintet last year; Harold Moore, letter- man forward on the college squad; D.

These men practiced daily for the twelve games which brought a spirited season in this sport. The games were with service teams and business groups in the area as the Panthers were not in the Orange Em- pire conference this year in this sport as well as football. Most of the squad were in the reserves and many left be- fore the end of the term. Change in the trustee s policy for transportation and games off campus was made later in the season when the studentbody petitioned for the oppor- tunity of carrying the team to games in cars owned by individuals with A ration cards. This request was grant- ed, and several games were then play- ed away from home. The student- body, however, was not invited to go to the contests. Home games were played on the floor of the men ' s gymnasium as that finally became available after the holi- days when the military training pro- gram was withdrawn from the cam- pus. Students and townspeople were invited to these contests. The Panthers played twelve games with the teams from the Norco Naval Hospital, San Bernardino Air Depot, March Field units, Chaffey alumni, La Verne College, Pomona College, Basketball Squad 1943 — front row — Sam Pa- tane, Harold Moore, Spud Curtis, Jack Ja- haris, Carl Hase, D.

March Field team went down to defeat by a score of 47-24. The Panthers were too fast for the squad. Blanchette of the visitors, however, lead the scoring with 18 points. Curtis lead the local team with 12. The game with Chaffey alumni ended in a defeat, 50-44, as the Panthers were a little too slow for the former Chaffey stars. A defeat result- ed in the next week ' s game with La Verne, although the score was close — 52-49.

We spent nine months making changes in our way of living— gasoline rationing, rubber rationing, meat and food rationing, harvesting, gardening, conserving re- sources; but this was a small contribution compared with that of the men who left for service. As we attended classes, working our. problems and decisions, newspaper headlines and radio broadcasts heralded the history which was made about us. This has been a y e a r of thought and action, one of the most significant in the his- tory of Chaffey— and the world.  ir AAijNA V ju« Ct-  - c _ ■v jLL 7?u
