Tl: tu The Tfeqt FALL SEMESTER September 12-School opened, and the place was overrun with wild-eyed frosh frantically trying to find the right room and invariably tuirning up in the wrong one. Willie Silva ofhcially opened his term as student body pres- ident, with Brad Evans assisting him as vice- president. V Betty Lou Simpson, first girl in the history of the school to hold down the office of treasurer, disproved the time-worn adage that a woman's place is in the home by starting a dynamic student body card sale which brought the desired results in a rush. Along Athletic Row, football, tennis, and soccer got under way, with Coaches McFadden, Bashor, and Francis more than satisfied with the turnouts. September 25-The frosh, by now accustomed to the ways and by-ways of school life, got their first taste of night life at the Freshman Recep- tion, with Les Smith's orchestra providing the rhythm. The Mothers' Club, encouraged by the success of their first venture, opened a second Men's Dormitory at 15 Dwight Road. October 1-The football team opened their inglorious season with a 13-0 loss to the strong Santa Clara Frosh. - October 8-jim Watson was elected freshman prexyg Dick Harris, Blink to his inties, was chosen head yell-provokerg and Gabby Mar- tin took over the leadership of the Men's Club. On the gridiron, the Bulldogs took a 6-0 lacing at the hands of San Francisco j.C. in the con- ference inaugural. October 13-After much deliberation, Three- C5i'7Zf1'6'd M0011 won over The Rivalr as the play. October 15-A casaba magnate, dragging basketballers to S.M.j.C. from all over the coun- try, provided Murius McFadden with the best potential team in y'ars 'n y'ars. The guys, headed Iiifzy-1 wo by giant Les Major, all six foot eight inches of him, entered a local night school league and ran roughshod over all opposition . . . They promised us a surprise at the annual Pre-Med dance, and for those who hadn't been in school the year before it certainly was. The sight of Skinny, huge knock-kneed skeleton gracing the bandstand, didn't do our blood-pressure, high or low, much good! October 28-The annual trek to Modesto for the football classic was acclaimed an even greater success than last year, with 250 enthusiastic rooters jamming the special train. Lime Rickey and his Party-Packers held sway all the way home, 'n there sure was a hot time in the old day-coach that night! Oh yes, the footballers dropped a 6-O decision to the Pirates. November 4-McFadden's cohorts made up for the Modesto licking by plastering a startl- ing 12-7 defeat on the collective proboscises of San Bernardino j.C. How they did they'll prob- ably never know, but it was fun anyway. December 2-The yearly A.W.S. Fashion Show, again superbly directed by Adalene Bow- man, sky-rocketed to new heights. It was com- pleted with beautiful mannequins and handsome ushers. Yes, they let the male element in the balcony on the promise that they refrain from any remarks . . . Needless to mention, they did! . . . One of the best-received assemblies ever staged was put on by the National Blind Society, featuring Etna the Wonder Dog, and Pierce Knox, blind xylophonist . . . On November 17 and 18 came what amateur thespians had been waiting for-the performance of Three-Con nered Moon. Miss Beveridge really out-did herself in this classic, words fail us in descrip- tion of it, so we'll let it go with a simple swellegant. December 16-This night sounded the death- toll to all stags. The A.W.S. Men's Club Dance initiated the new custom, which seems to have stuck. Best ever was the unanimous decision of those in attendance. Willie Silva, Hal Stire-
