More Supplementing the ANALYST in llie publications lield in crucial moments during the past tliree years, caustic commentaries on leading school Figures (remember closer to God with Croddard ) have mysteriously appeared on campus in professionally printed form. It is rumored that their origin was Etiwanda. a nearb hamlet which, by odd coincidence, has also been the recent residence of Richard Baughnian. DicK is perhaps the nrst student to complete his entire college course at CMC, having accelerated a year by taking 18 units per semester and attended one summer session since his arrival in September, 1946. Prior to admission Baughman served 4 ' 2 years in the Air Force as a supply officer, of which all but one year was spent in Panama. The Major dismisses sympathizers on this score with the joyful ( omnient. delivered in all seriousness. It was swell. Beyond expressing a desire to remain in Southern Cali- fornia. DicK declines comment on the future, being far more concerned immediately with the arrival of a gradu- ation present, — his second child is expected at about the same time as the sheepskin. Bill Collins came to CMC after having attended Wayne University in Michigan and serving in the Arm . Bill plans a career in the public utilities field. While many ol us came to college on parental suggestion in part. Collins enjoys the distinction of having been advised bv the late Henry Ford to attend college.

Sunshine Freddie Duckett, since he s sung the same tune at Harvard Military Academy, the University of New Mexico and Arizona State I eachers College. Hailing from San Marino, Cali- lornia, the Tall One spent two years in V-li before entering CMC in 1946. Known for his hustling on ()lleyball courts, at race tracks and aboard Balboa schooners, Fred looks forward to a trip abroad this summer. Upon return in September he expects to enter the life insurance business here in Los Angeles where competition runs deep, but his astute knowledge of chance pla and odds should add immeasurably to his premium policy and future success. John Eastland has been coirimuting daily from Fullerton, His business interests center in the trucking field, having worked around it since the tender age of thirteen, and after graduation he plans to enter this field. One of the local fly-bo s he s had his private pilot s license since June of 1947. His service record was made with the 93th Infantry Division in France and Germany.

Considering the nomadic nature of his previous scholastic pursuits. Perry Garst s stav at CMC, even noting a six month sojourn to Canada for work with a chemical hrm, , would seem to indicate that Gats is slowing down. Born in France some 22 years ago. Perry had a record of ten different schools attended even before starting college, and has been to Stanford, Menlo J,C,, and CMC since then. Such is not the case, however, as mention of South America brings that far away places gleam in his eye during discussion of post-summer school plans. The service didn t satisfv this yearning, for the year and a half he spent in the Navy as radio technician, eoman. and linalK aerologist was on the domestic front. During his time at C 1C Perrx has served as Jiniior Representative on the council, represented the school in a Western Colleges Conference at Stanford, established a Igend concerning his abilit to absorb cramming- session facts luider the most adverse circimislanc cs. and alienated the Pomona P.E.

Ill spite of frequent liustr.itioii in liis cllorts to convert liis tone-cleat P Unit neighbors to appreciation of classical music. Leonard Bud Ciiuda- coff persists in his contemplation of the finer things of life. In this vein. Bud states that the study of Hegel has been his chief interest at CMC. Eight colleges are listed among the sixteen schools Bud has attended. These are. in order. Santa Monica J.C., I,. CC. Creighton U.. UCLA. Columbia, and Claremont Men ' s College with classes attended at both Scripps and Pomona. His service record includes duty at a B-20 navigator travelling about the U.S.. incidentally having a good time, with the war ending one day before he was to leave for overseas. Bud remains a Second Lieutenant in the reserve. Golf and weight lifting are sources of enjoyment for Bud in the sports realm, while, in addition to speculative philosophy. building radios is a major hobby. He expects to enter his fatlier ' s business, that being beer distribution, in l ong Beach. Jerome E. Reed, out of Emmetl. Idaho, by the . rmy . ir Force and Alaska, has distinguished hinvelf variouslv. Having a shock-resistant, beer-proof personality, he has forged through Claremont Men s College with its first three years. He has sold real estate to local rock-lovers, he has accounted for local firms ' expenditures, and he s raised c hie kens. His friendliness is easy. His elbow bends easily. And he falls asleep easily at th e dron of a U. S. Government Manual. He figured as the Vice President of the CMC NLinagement Group, and achieved success with Vandermeulen. Benson. Jordan and Carter (not to be confused with competitors Batton. Barton, f unstan Durstan). Jerry, as his canitalist friends call him, is at home here.

Pennsyl- vania, has tramned the campus of CMC for the past two years. No new man at college life, Harrv spent a year and one half studying engineering at Iowa State, with further efforts at Southwest Texas State Teacher s College and Woodbury College. He joined the Air Force during the war. being commissioned a second lieutenant navigator in Europe. Currentiv dividing his interests between his wife. May. and the ANA- LYST, the Terror of the N-Units looks like a definite threat to the business world since his 20% ad commission check always bulges pt the end of the month. More readily found on the golf links of Red Hill or Don Lugo. Tank has gained campus notoriety for his sports versatility and hard play. Planning to enter the field of manufacturing upon graduation, those of us who knew him will remember him as a real hustler. in the spring of 1948 a young man named Austin (Woody) Woodward came to Claremont. After briefing the North Campus he arrived at his billet in the Vet ' s units. Neighbors gathered to view this smiling soecimen of athletic manhood, noting assorted stickers on his valise: Fou tain Valley. The Blackhawks. Montana State College, and Occidental College. Woody has been a light in the mundane CMC existence, not only for his literary accomplishments with the ANALYST (finally getting a tern at the tiller), but also as: Liter.-ry Editor of AYER. composer of CMC skits, swimmer, student of golf and other noted extra-curricular activities. Come June, amid hardy handshakes and sighs from the N C. Woody will put the sheepskin in his pocket alongside a ticket for either Switzer- land (graduate study). Iceland (slave labor), or Pasadena (52-20 Club).

Seniors Ricliarcl W ' liale Richardson spells hustler from way nacK. A product of the preparatory school system here in California. [DicK graduated from Catalina Bovs School just in time to hop into a y hlues for a three year stretch with the Air Corps. A rum-runner (he Hew Puerto Rico s hesi into Miami), he dropped his Ensign bar and let CMC get a glimpse of a real fly-bo ' . Known for his point-a-minute passes to excited Vibrator ends, his over- the-shoulder basKetball shots through the local hoops and his Pepper P Iartin play at the hot corner. Rich has sparked the CMC intramural teams for three years. C urrently planning on marrying a Seattleite (a Scripps product of course). Mob ' OicK expects to enter the lumber lousiness unon graduation. His alertness and size should prove a real threat to llie West Coast eionomv. Graduating at the end of this summer will be William Roudenbush. a former Marine Air Corps sergeant who served as a bond) disposal te(hni(ian. A New or.; resident. Bill went to the University of Buffalo before the war. but came to Mt. San . ntonio J.C. after dis- i harge. then entered CMC in September. 1Q47. Bill has no plans for the post-graduation support of his wife and Iwo vear old girl, but would like to work into the Indus- trial Relations field. Bill Shirey. a CMC man for the past ear and a hall, and a Stanford Indian before that, plans to enter aitivelv into a hardware and sporting goods business in which he purchased half-interest after the war. The store is located in Long Beach, where Bill went to high school. Last year he was assistant coach of the Frosh football team and this year he made his letter on theVarsity scjuad. During the war his billet was with the Inlantrx lor ihirty-four months. Primarily interested in fishing and radio repair work. Smitty has devoted his leisure time at CMC to classes, his duties as Junior Class President, and lessons to O- L ' nit gut-strummers. A whirlwind courtship was climaxed last fall when LKod took the nuptial vow ' S, and all other interests have suffered since then. During the war Smittv put in a lot of time in the Cari- bbean aboard the L ' SS Hamiil. where he served as a Radio Technician. If all (18 units) goes well during the summer session, he will graduate at its conclusion. In the confusion and frecjuent furor of Senior Seminar debates, the thoughtful and sound pronouncements of one class mendier. Warren Tack were a welcome relief. ProbabU the senior Senior. Warren s background amply prepares him for any discussion of business matters. In September. 1947. Tack sold the Claremont Hardware company after two years of proprietorship, and in Janu- ary. 1948. picked up his formal education at CMC where he left off at Washington and Washington State in 1956. Bringing his bride of one ear with him to Ontario in 1942. where he was stationed in the Air Corps as an instructor. Warren has been here ever since. There are now two additions to the family, a boy (l year) ana girl (6 years). Although he has no dehnite plans, Warren states that he i)robabl will go back into business for himself again. Here ' s a tip for CMC men who lincl themselves tra- cersing Route 06 through the Arcadia area. On the north side of the street is the habitat of Hale Thomas (NOT Thomas Hale). CMC. Clr ss of 49. who is alwa s ready to welcome parched wayfarers. This is the procedure: Ignore the front door, seeking instead a rear window; (limb in. bul don t ston lo admire the boudoir photog- raph) ; and linalK. treading carefully so as not to disturb any of the master ' s coveted model trains, make your way to the icebox and partake of your hard-earned reward. Hale, an ex-paratrooper (Italy. France and Germany) who will receive his final walking papers after picking up a few odd units during the sunuiier session, is becoming accustomed to such odd antics. If ou re really in luck, he might be awav at a Reserve meeting, leaving the mansion to his wife lean, whom he met upon his return to Pasadena City College after his stint in the service. Since it is rumored that she is his soul source of support, however, it might be better to wait until Hale graduates and is embarked upon an as yet undetermined career. Originallv a Montanan. A L Irich has spent the last three years in Claremont. He started at CMC in Septem- ber. 1946. and has held seats in poker games through all the regular sessions and one summer session.
