In the earthqual e disaster of this year it was this courage and determi- nation to carry on so splendidly and ideally shown by the stu- dents of Compton Junior College that prompted us to select our theme .... It was through the efforts of these men and women of our college, with their deter- mination to achieve something worthwhile that this year ' s history could be indelibly written. As a memorial, therefore, we present within the covers of this volume, a resume of school experiences, trials, and tribulations, each a necessary and fundamental part in the construction of real character. Robert Cameron Gillingham • As a tribute to the services which he has rendered to the students of Compton Junior Collese ... in rec- ognition oF his splendid fellow- ship ... for his sincere personality and friendship in aiding students both as a counselor and a teacher ... for his devotion to scholarly attainments . . . and for his interest in the welfare of everyone about him, we dedicate the Dar-U-Gar of 1933 to Robert Cameron Giilingham . . . friend and scholar.

UPPER DIVISION GRADUATES Charles Bracht Auralie Ulli ' ich Jack Pug-h Isabella Aljliott Fourteenth Year Class OFFICERS Charles Bracht President Earl Chamberlain .... Vice President Auralie Ullrich Secretary ISABELLE Abbott T)easurer Miss Mable A. Hill Advisers . . Charles Bracht . . . Jack Pugh . . Kenny Mason Earl Chamberlain . Mr. Gillingham BY REASON of their position as officers of the most highly organized group in this institution, and by their sincere participation in school activities, the fourteenth year class officers have earned the respect of both students, and faculty. Although many activities were planned by the seniors, a majority of their functions were rudely curtailed by the earthquake in March, and as a result the class was a bit late in rounding out its full social and scholastic program. The class, however, presented one of the most interesting floats ever seen in Compton when they won first place over all other entries in the junior division of the huge civic parade held in Compton during the middle of October. The parade celebrated all civic organizations of Compton and was roundly enjoyed and participated in by a large majority of the popu- lace of Compton. Starting at the City Hall, the floats of the various schools and organizations wound their way through the city amid the acclamations of an enthusiastic crowd. Among the prominent fourteenth grade students who participated in the success of the Compton float, were Isabelle Abbott, James Walling, Aur- alie Ullrich, Betty Stockwell, Stuart Betsinger, and Charles Bracht, presi- dent of the senior class. Due to the success of this parade Compton civic authorities announced that they would hold another similar parade in the following years.

Vice President .... Sydney Ramsaur Evelyn Van Horn Secretary Virginia Cargile Harry Heacock Treasurer .... Marjorie Heidman ALTHOUGH the thirteenth year class is one of the largest student organi- l . zations on the Compton junior college campus, their activities were somewhat handicapped by the earthquake and as a result several of the proposed social functions which were to take place failed to materialize. Last year the class was able to finance its junior prom by giving a pay assembly but with no adequate means for putting on an assembly this year the class was considerably handicapped in its financial budget. But even in face of the numei ' ous disheartening conflicts which contin- ually bobbed up at inopportune times the 1933 junior prom was presented with all the pomp and splendor and enthusiasm which has so characterized the junior promenades in the past. During the early part of the second semester the thirteenth year class was challenged to compete with the fourteenth year class in a series of sports to determine which class was the superior in athletics. The challenge was received and accejited and at the date of this writing the matches are as yet unplaved but prospects are that thev will occur sometime in late May. Under the guidance of Dick Stamper and Tom Turley the thirteenth year class has accomplished many notable and worthwhile things and in collaboration with the class advisei ' s, Miss Josephine Whitford and Mr. Kenneth Howell, has promised to be one of the leading classes next year.

LOWER DIVISION GRADUATES Twelfth Year Class John DeHetre Daniel Boone Alice McNeil Gordon Oir John DeHetre Daniel Boone Alice McNeil Gordon Orr OFFICERS . President . Vice President . Secretary . . Treasurer . John DeHetre . Daniel Boone . Alice McNeil Gordon Orr BY SELECTING a combination of leaders from various fields of student activity, the lower division graduates were successful in securing a group with active interest in school affairs. All of these students have taken prominent parts in either dramatics, scholarship, athletics, or stu- dent government. Due to their energy and interest in campus affairs, there were few events in which one or more of them did not participate. With the cooperation of individual mem- bers of the group, resumption of traditions, a livelier inter- est in men ' s and women ' s athletics, and a large attendance at student functions was made possible. Much of the success of the class was due to John DeHetre, who as one of the outstanding Bay League ath- letes and captain of the football team, proved his right to leadership of the class. DeHetre, also one of the high rank- ing students of his class, capably guided the graduates of the lower division through to a banner year. Daniel Boone, another great Bay League athlete for Compton, capably assisted DeHetre in his duties as vice president. Alice McNeil, secretary, was always willing to assist the presi- dent at any time, and filled her office capably. As a repre- sentative of her class, she was an active member of the Associated Women Student council. Gordon Orr took charge of the class finances and was instrumental in mak- ing a reality the traditional gift which the senior class annually presents to the school.

Mr. Powars IN A grand finale to their season ' s activities, the eleventh year class capped all lower division social events by presenting the traditional junior-senior prom, which was sponsored by class officers and advisers on May 27 at the Long Beach municipal auditorium. Since this was the only social function offered by the class as a group, it was arranged and executed in an efficient manner that left nothing to be desired. Replete with beautiful decorations, a prize waltz, and good music, the prom was attended by one of the largest groups in the history of the school. There were programs for everyone, cleverly printed. It was the first time in the history of the school that a lower division class held the traditional annual prom in conjunction with an upper division class. This came about as a result of the earthquake, when all expenses had to be cut to a minimum. The actual organizing and planning of the prom was taken care of by the class officers who worked hand in hand with each other. A commit- tee of arrangement was formed from students of the eleventh and thir- teenth year classes, and it was then divided into sub-committees, so that a greater efficiency would be reached. Warren Lindsay, president of the eleventh year class, and Thomas Turley, p resident of the thirteenth year, were the two guiding hands in the promotion of the prom and to them and their co-workers goes the credit for the success of the dance. Much credit also goes to Miss Patty Baird and Mr. Frank Powars, class advisers, for the aid they contributed in assisting with this big project. [56] nth YEAR BOYS nth YEAR GIRLS [57] I BOOK 3 ACTIVITIES LEADERSHIP You made yourself worthy of what you attained, You learned how to give what is great, You lifted your mind to higher ground, And found joy in seeking its height. You stepped from the ranks Of the crowd and the mass, And gave to the world A leader! M.T. STUDENT GOVERNMENT Student Body Ij ' LECTED to the highest student body -t-j office of Compton junior college, Walter Prill, as president of the associ- ated student body, more than capably served the students and fulfilled the duties of his office. Before becoming a candidate for office, Prill was long active in many lines of social activities. As a leader in social functions, he was presi- dent of his fraternity. Besides this, he was president of Delta Psi Omega na- tional honorary dramatic fraternity. Prill, demonstrating his marvelous ver- satility, was also a star performer on the Tartar track team, throwing the javelin and scoring heavily in all conference meets. Probably no other president in the his- tory of the school achieved such popular- ity while in office as did Walter Prill during his first term. Perhaps the outstanding accomplishment of his term in office was the proposed stu- dent union building which was originally to be built next to the home eco- nomics building, but which had to be delayed for some time because of the earthquake. But beyond all doubt the work and effort of president Walter Prill and his Student Council on this one project alone is worthy of the high- est mention. Although the building will not be constructed until other build- ings are also set up, the student union building is definitely going to be a feature of the Compton campus, and as such will be the only junior college in the West with a student union building. The Student Council, working as a harmonious and effective legislative body, handled the student body affairs for the first semester in fine fashion. Several proposed amendments were submitted to the group and the only one which was passed and became attached to the constitution was the one which concerned yell leaders. Hereafter, a yell leader will be elected from each division and he will lead his respective division in athletic rallies. At the same time, during the Student Council ' s tenure in office, the California Junior College Press Association convention was held at Compton, and the entire council supported the meeting of journalists.

Andrew Adviser [63 J WALTER PRILL, again running for the office of student body president, won an overwhelming- victory over his opponent in the spring elections. It was on the strength of his fine record in office and his popu- larity with the students that Walter Prill was elected for a second term. It was his dominant personality and interest in school affairs that earned for Prill a place high in the ranks of student presidents. Perhaps the outstanding achievement during the second semester Student Council administration was the successful promotion of the All Southern California Junior College dance, which was held at the Shrine Audi- torium on June 9. The dance, originated and conceived by Walter Prill, was presented with the idea of accumulat- ing money from the dance for the purpose of adding to the earthquake funds of Compton and Long Beach junior colleges. The gigantic affair, which was a sport dance, was supported by all the Southern California junior colleges and through the cooperation of these schools the dance was a pronounced success. Administration heads have stated that there is a strong possibility of making the All Southern California Junior College dance an annual affair. If this is done a greater spirit should blossom forth among the confer- ence schools, and it should serve as a stimulant for school activities. The Student Council also cooperated fully with the school administration during the turbulent earthquake days and, through their willingness to help, much progress was accomplished in reestablishing the school program on a normal basis.

Mr. Andrew EACH YEAR since its inception on the Compton junior college cam- pus in 1931, the Tartar Knights have increased and extended their usefulness in all branches of service work. Throughout the year the Knights, as a strict selective group, rendered invaluable aid to the school through the handling of assemblies, assisting on the athletic field, and serving admirably at numerous functions. As the first semester terminated, new officers were elected and again the group established a vigorous program which carried them to a lofty niche in the esteem of both students and faculty. At the suggestion of adviser Milton H. Andrew, a committee was appointed to draw up plans for a formal installation of the newly elected officers. As the duties of the club became increased and varied, committees were appointed by the president to satisfy the needs of the students. First, an auditorium committee, which took care of assemblies, was appointed. Second, a reception committee, filling a serious but little- emphasized need, was selected. On this committee the members met newcomers on the campus and directed them, giving them any desired information, so that they would feel at ease. Third, the games com- mittee was appointed. This committee was in charge of admission and grandstands at all athletic events. [67] F(cs? i-oic; J. Dean, E. Parsley, M. White, B. Pxiwley, V. Hutchinson, D. Wil- liams, M. Davis. Second row: E.

Slothower Adviser UNDER the supervision of the Commissioners of Finance, of which there are two, and with one elected each semester, the Finance commission handles the student body funds. The two commissioners work under the advisership of Mr. David E. Slothower of the com- mercial department. Although there is little publicity connected with the work on the commission, students must have passed rigid requirements to earn a place on the finance group. Scholarship is but one of the many neces- sary qualities, while ability to think rapidly, a personal interest in the work, and a desire to be of service to the school are also impor- tant items which must be met by students endeavoring to place on the Finance commission. The commission is strictly a service group and is composed of both upper and lower division students, being one of the many organizations on the Compton campus which has the two divisions among its members. The most important duty of the Finance commission is to sell and collect tickets at athletic contests. At these contests the mem- bers have charge of gates leading to the field. [68] Junior College Presidents Convention Compton Junior College January 13, 1933 FOR THE first time in the history of the Western division of Southern Cahfornia junior colleges a constitution for junior college student body presidents was drawn up and adopted by a representative committee of the Western conference. A committee composed of the president-elect and the first and second vice-presidents of the Student Body Presidents ' Associa- tion met on January 13, 1933, at the home of Mr. Milton H. Andrew, who with Walter Prill served as co-host for the group. The preceding convention palaver at Long Beach was so suc- cessful that frequent repetition immediately became a popular de- mand, and as a result many of the chief stu- dent executives an- nounced themselves firmly in favor of meet- ing at least three times each semester, apart Walter Piull from the administra- tors, though perhaps in the same building at the same time. With this as one of its special purposes, the committee was commis- sioned to convene at a later date and attempt to incorporate these provisions into the first presidents ' constitution. George Mollis of Los Angeles junior college is president of the organization, having been elected to that ofiice during the course of the executives ' confab which was held in December of 1932. Walter Prill is first vice-president and Bill Elliot of Long Beach is second vice-president. The three, therefore, formed the constitutional committee. Three meetings a semester, said the committee, will give the representative an opportunity to discuss assemblies, difficulties of student legislation, council or cabinet, cooperative talent exchange, unified social events, and many other considerations ordinarily befalling the student head of a junior college student organization. The convention and the constitution eventually proved suc- cessful due to the unceasing efforts of the trio of student presidents mentioned and also, through the supplementary and suggestive work of Mr. Milton H. Andrew, adviser of our own student council. 69 ] Only a dreamer Sees in a line oF trees Something reaching farther.

PUBLICATIONS B ' J(IK Maushall, Ellltoi -Chi Dar-U-Gar ECAUSE of his thor- ough training in journal- ism, printing, and his abihty to write well, together with his knowledge and experi- ence of news reporting, fea- ture writing, proofreading, and advertising and business management, Joe Marshall established himself as a ca- pable and dependable editor of the 1933 Dar-U-Gar. It was his keen interest in the journalism profession that prompted him to be a candidate for editor of the Dar-U-Gar, and the stu- dents, realizing this, unani- mously elected Joe Marshall, editor-in-chief of the school year book. As editor he has more than shown his ability by his willingness to work and his amicable and helpful relations with his staff. His rise in the journalism department has been a remarkable one. Although always a high ranking student he has consistently improved his work to a point of near perfection. He is one of the veterans of the Tartar Shield staff, having served for three semesters and contributing for a fourth. During the past year he compiled an average of well over 1200 words per issue of the Shield as a feature writer and news reporter. At one time, while editing The Literary Guild for the eight-page convention paper, he wrote over 3500 words for the single issue. Another of his accomplishments was the origination of the Fact and Fancy column, which immediately proved to be a popular weekly feature of the Tartar Shield. As a member of the 1932 Dar-U-Gar staff Joe Marshall definitely proved his ability as a capable journalist when he combined his many capabilities while writing clubs, classes, sports, organizations, and feature into one ver- satile job, besides taking care of the business and advertising end of the annual. Many of his news stories and feature articles have won high acclaim and have been praised by individuals appreciative of his work. Although practically confining all of his efforts towards journalism, Mar- shall has found time to be vice president of Alpha Sigma Chi fraternity, a member of Rho Delta Epsilon, honorary political science fraternity, the interfraternity council, and the student executive council. Another reason for the success of the 1933 Dar-U-Gar was the helpful and encouraging advisership of Miss Harriet Fullen, whose many constructive suggestions were instrumental in publishing a book of which the students of Compton junior college might well be proud. Miss Fullen ' s work as adviser has been deeply appreciated by the entire staff and her ability in organizing and outlining the work for the year was met with splendid success.

Those words carry with them the true feeling of the editor of the 1933 Dar-U-Gar. To Ed Coulter and Gayne Marshall, who sei-ved in the capacity of advisory editors, thanks are due for their suggestions and helpful criti- cism in editing the annual. Betty Stockwell for her unbounded ability and willingness to work at all times was perhaps the most versatile member on the staff. A girl of proved ability and competence, Betty Stockwell contributed her utmost to make the book a success, especially in her work mounting pic- tures and cutting and trimming did she prove extremely valuable. Assisting Betty with the same type of work was Elizabeth Magee and Auralie Ullrich, whose steadiness and dependability accounted for most of the work coming in on time. In the sports department Henry Hoyt and John Gault served capably and during the entire athletic season these two boys were the only ones who steadily turned in copy. In the women ' s sport section Agnes Ander- son, a girl of professional writing experience, handled women ' s sports. The club section was handled largely by Bill Fahs, whose experience in annual work fitted him for this position. The creative literary work was principally due to Margaret Tibby who so ably contributed the literary sketches of the section pages, and to Janet Bentley who planned the calendar. Leona Lorenz, secretary, proved an invaluable member of the staff and her good nature and ability made the Dar-U-Gar office a bubble of enthusiasm. The modern and original layout of the annual is due to the efforts of a large art staff headed by Myonza Walker and Miss Ryan. Much credit is due them for the endless time and effort they expended. [73] « Tartar Shield i it % B(iM MfGiiAW, Kdlf, -Chui UNDER the leadership of Robert McGraw the Tar- tar Shield of 1932 was again one of the leading Junior Col- lege weekly newspapers. When he was elected editor of the Shield, the students of Comp- ton secured an editor of pre- vious journalistic experience, and an editor who knew thor- oughly the science of make-up. This last point is best illus- trated by the fact that each week during his term as editor there was a different front- page make-up. McGraw ' s ex- perience in newspaper work is not limited to journalism alone, but he also is trained in the mechanical side, as he has studied and practiced printing for over four years, operating linotype machines and various other machines and appliances around a print shop. This was undoubtedly one of the big factors in his success as editor. His knowledge of type faces also assisted him in varying his make-up. On the front page. Bob McGraw was assisted by Associate and City Editors, Earl Tavan and Kenny Mason, respectively. These two have been thoroughly trained in their work and know their jobs well as is witnessed by the success of the paper. Tavan ' s weekly job was handing out assignments while Mason proof-read, wrote heads, and generally supervised things, so that all copy would be in on time. The feature page was handled by capable Isami Suzukawa as feature editor. Through his work the page livened up considerably, and his two assistants, Vir- ginia Brown and Mary Louise Williams also aided. Samarkandy, by Ken Mason was the weekly feature of the page. On the sport page Nelson Barnett, two-time winner of Press Association awards for sport stories, edited sports. In addition his column, Sportopics, was a weekly sports commentary which was interesting. The fourth page, always a source of interest because of the catty Meeow column, was edited by Mildred McMillan, who wrote Meeow much to the dis- comfort of the playboys who were continually joshed. On this page fraternity and social doings were also printed.

COMSTOCK, Prmtm. [75] Tartar Shield ' - EnWlN COIM.TEK, h ' (lif(il-lll-(_ ' lll, ' f pi QUCCEEDING his good i friend Bob McGraw as edi- tor of the Tartar Shield, Ed Coulter immediately set about to edit another series of Tar- tar Shields. As a capable and efficient news reporter Coul- ter was particularly well qual- ified to take over the reins and supervise the publication of the Shield. No more outstand- ing illustration of his ability can be shown than by the fact that in the short space of one semester Ed Coulter rose from news reporter to editor in one leap — such was his ability. His policy was one of varied make- up and an unbiased represen- tation of the week ' s news. Tales From Tartary, a front- page column written by the editor, weekly commented on the news of the week and its application to stu- dents, and through his term as editor was a regular feature. During the tragic earthquake in March, Ed Coulter displayed marvelous ability and integrity in editing, with the help of a few loyal staff members, a full four-page eight- column paper for students when they returned to school after the enfoi ' ced vacation. This, most certainly, was one of the finest achievements in journal- ism at Compton in some time. Ken Mason served in the capacity of managing editor besides writing his popular column, Samarkandy, for the fourth consecutive semester. The feature page was again edited by Isami Suzukawa who once more capably handled the duties in fine style. Suzukawa was one of the real veter- ans of the staff and completed his third semester as a member by editing a well-balanced page. Joe Marshall ' s Fact and Fancy column was a new weekly feature in the Shield and appeared on this page. The sports department was taken care of by John DeHetre, efficient lower division student and a keen follower of sport happenings in the jaysee circuit. He also continued the weekly sport commentary, Sportopics. The fourth and last page was handled by Mildred McMillan again who also wrote her Meeow column once more, much to the chagrin of the students appearing therein. For her friendliness in advising and supervising the work on the Tartai- Shield, Miss Marian Peterson was a constant source of help and advice to the students working on the staff. From a point of effective journalism the work was steadily improved throughout the year largely due to her sincere desire to aid in publishing a good Tartar Shield. Mr. Edwin W. Comstock and his well-equii)ped print shop were largely instrumental in printing a neat and well-balanced paper, and the services of the shop were invaluable. [76] C r. t « C: o A First row: M.

This was the first time in history that any Tartar Shield had gone to press carrying more than the - ■1 customary four pages. f The convention was represented by junior col- ▼ -. T leges from all over the state as the great conclave ▼ got under way at 9 :00 a. m. Saturdav morning on . - ; V November 19! Both the Tartar Shield and Dar-U- l ' M Gar staffs acted in the capacity of hosts to the H||ii M visitors. lAi l Bob McGraw was automatically president of the association, since Compton was the host college. Bob McGraw jj greeted the other editors at registration, con- ducted the business meeting, and was toastmaster at the luncheon and dinner. At the morning session of the convention Braven Dyer, Los Angeles Times sports writer, and Frank Goss of the Long Beach Press-Telegram, addressed the assembly in interesting and timely talks. The group discussions were held at the Masonic Temple in Long Beach and consisted of the follow- ing divisions: news writing and gathering; front- page make-up; business management and adver- tising; features and editorials; problems of the year-book; sport writing; and faculty advisers. After the conclusion of these groups a recess was taken for a few hours before the great Award Dinner Dance, which was also held at the Masonic Temple. At the dance all awards were presented to the winning col- leges and short speeches followed. Compton ' s two voting delegates were Bob McGraw, editor of the Tartar Shield, and Joe Marshall, editor of the Dar-U-Gar. Credit for the entire program goes to the hard-working and efficient Tartar Shield staff, which consisted of Bob McGraw, Joe Marshall, Earl Tavan, Ken Mason, Ed Coulter, Olive St emen, Windfield Scott, Isami Suzukawa, Virginia Brown, Mary Louise Williams, Nelson Barnett, John DeHetre, Henrv Kurtz, Robert Cosby, Mildred McMillan, Ruth Geery, and Bob Woodward.

ALPHA Gamma Sigma, organized in the early months of the 1932 £ . school year, replaced the former upper division honorary scho- lastic society. Phi Theta Kappa, and became affiliated with the Cali- fornia state honorary junior college fraternity. Although the requirements for entrance into Alpha Gamma Sig- ma were altered slightly, the fraternity maintained a high standard throughout the year. Membership was set at thirty grade points or better, while other attributes such as extra-curricular activities and citizenship were also taken into account when students were consid- ered for membership in the organization. Representatives were sent to Chaffey junior college during the spring semester for the state convention. At that time delegates from four-year colleges were present and scholarships to various col- leges on the coast were announced. [82] Mimirathenians ■mfcJ ? iii Mk hi ft P f :, R. Biswell, M. Hall. L.

THE MIMIRATHENIAN society is the lower division honor scho- lastic organization. Its membership requirements are sufficient to limit eligibility to those who have unusually high scholastic rat- ings. Members are selected at the close of each semester, and mem- bership is accounted for by the point system whereby an A gTade receives three points, a B one, and a C no points. A D or F disqualifies the ' student from consideration. A total of ten points is necessary for membership. For the first time in many years the Mimirathenians did not hold their annual excursion to Catahna, which is usually the big social event of the society. Instead the group held many informal social functions such as horseback riding, swimming, and other diversified forms of entertainment. Throughout the year Miss Margaret White has been an able and friendly guide to niembers of the ' organization and her assistance has been greatly appreciated. [83] R. Woodward. -M. Hillger, I.

AS AN outgrowth of the biological seminar, Delta Phi Sigma, hon- . orary pre-medical fraternity, was organized to fill the need for a closely unified group in the biological sciences. Previously there was no organization or cooperation in the seminar, so a group of interested students drew up a constitution which embodied the purpose, ideals, and objectives of the society. Plans were continually made to make the organization a vital fac- tor in campus life, and Delta Phi Sigma occupied a prominent place in its ambition to aid students who were going into the medical and dental professions. Hospital visits and lectures by leaders in these fields also aided greatly to familiarize the students with their future work. At several of the banquets of the society, prominent speakers and men eminent in the field of biological science spoke to the group on appro- priate subjects. The requirements for entering this fraternity are the same as any other school fraternity. The new rushees are voted on and must have a C average in at least twelve units to be eligible. [84] B.

Phi Gamma Chi is the Alpha chapter of the order. The group began as ' a local fraternity, but it became affiliated with another college group through the efforts of William N. Burnett, president of the local organization, and two eminent faculty directors of another college. Purposes of the society are to promote interest in scientific fields, to establish a high scholarship standing, and to cultiyate an attitude of worthy citizenship and fellowship among its members. Seyeral objectiyes are set forth by the society, which eyentually aims to establish scholarships to uniyersities, to become affiliated with the national scientific fraternity for major uniyersities, to make con- tacts with the fields of industrial science as an opportunity for further occupations, and to become affiliated with the American Scientific Insti- tute.

Membership in the fraternity is granted in recognition of outstanding dramatic ability and activity, and is made on the comple- tion by the candidate of certain requirements: participation in college plays, writing acceptable scripts, or successful staging and production of a play. As an annual feature, the fraternity makes a public presentation of a group of one-act plays. Following its stated purpose, to further the study of drama in Compton junior college, studies are made of longer plays with an occasional presentation by members of the club. Num- erous visits to the theatre round out the social program of the group. Annually, Delta Psi Omega, enters contestants in the Southern Cal- ifornia Shakesperian contest, which is held at various well-known aud- itoriums once a yeai . Each school is alloted delegates who compete for many prizes offered by the association. In the past Compton has always managed to win high honors in this contest. [S6- ox £ ail I M. Tibby, B.

It was founded in February, 1931, and its purpose is to stimulate an interest in dramatics, public speaking, and debating. Membership requirements call for at least a C average and demand that the applicant be either a varsity debater, winner of a place in a speech or Shakesperian contest, or have had a lead or two minor roles in plays. The regular meetings are spent in presentation of speeches and short plays produced by the members. Social affairs throughout the year have been outstanding, among them the sponsoring of a matinee dance and an annual banquet at the end of the year. At both the reg- ular meetings and the social activities of the organization, it is felt that a fine opportunity is provided for the general aims of speech and dramatic interpretation.

One year of political science must have been completed together with six units of some other social science with a grade of at least a B, while a B average in all other social science must also be maintained and 1.5 average (which is a B ) must be kept in all other work carried while a student is in attendance at the junior college. The fraternity was first organized at Los Angeles junior college and it soon spread to national affiliations, of which Compton is one of the member chapters. The ideal of the fraternity has been to foster a high standard of scholarship and excellence in the field of social science.

Schumacher Upper Division Debate DEBATING came into its own during the pa st year for the first time since the championship upper division team of 1930. And although the second semester debates were somewhat shaken up due to the earthquake disturbance, the team as a whole gained invaluable knowledge in the art of argumentation. Starting almost from scratch, with only one returning letterman. Bill Allen, the team grew by leaps and bounds, and at the end of the season there were eleven active teams. The splendid fact about this is that a good percentage of these students are returning next year, and with the year ' s invaluable experience, great things can be pre- dicted for the future. One question: Resolved: That the United States Should Agree to Cancellation of Inter-Allied War Debts, was used throughout the entire year in all junior colleges as well as the Redlands tournament and the Pacific Coast tournament. At various times during the year the Oregon and Oxford plans of debating were interchanged, and thus the teams learned the technique of both styles. Even the length [ 102] of the speeches varied according to the debate, but the standard time limit was ten minutes for constructive argument and five minutes for rebuttal. An added feature of the plan of having only one debate subject a year was that every debate team member learned to debate either side of the question with equal ease. Competition during the first semester this year was centered in the Western Division debate tournament held at Los Angeles junior college. Many practice debates with other schools led up to the tour- nament. Compton entered with only two teams, due to the illness of one of the third team members, but won half of their debates, an excellent showing for an inexperienced squad. However, they had to forfeit five others which shoved Compton farther down the list. Los Angeles junior college won the tournament by annexing sixteen out of twenty debates. Glendale was second, winning nine out of fifteen. Compton was represented by two teams. Chamberlain and Mal- seed, and Allen and Giles. The former pair won three out of five debates, while the latter won two of five. Compton was perhaps unfor- tunate in its draw of schools to compete against, having to meet the strong Los Angeles and Glendale debaters, while other schools had easier competition. This year ' s debate squad had two coaches. The first semester Mr. J. E. Power acted in that capacity, working out with the students the technique of argumentation rather than excessive competition. At the mid-term Mr. Robert C. Gillingham took over these duties when Mr. Power transferred to Los Angeles junior college. Mr. Gillingham had the class fast approaching readiness for the Pacific Coast tourna- ment at Santa Cruz, but the earthquake caused the cancellation of Compton ' s entry. However, practice debates at the end of the year showed great improvement, and make the outlook for next year very bright indeed. [103] Clauilinc (inter, Marian KoKers, Dolores Busse, Charles MeCarty, Claire Mil D I Speal« Lower Uivision opecial opeakers ARMISTICE DAY, or some phase of it, was the general subject for the l . second annual Armistice Day speech contest held the afternoon of November ninth. This contest is an exclusive lower division enterprise and is sponsored by Mr. Arleigh R. Kerr, local jeweler, who annually presents a Bulova wrist watch to the winner and a silver loving cup to the second-place holder. Five-minute speeches, memorized in whole or in part, must use the context of some memorable Armistice Day oration previously written. Increased knowledge and interest in better speaking in the junior college are furthered by these contests. First prize was awarded to Marion Rogers, who spoke An Armistice Day Message by J. B. Quinns. The selection was particularly adapted for good oratorical effect and Mr. Rogers ' splendid delivery won him the watch. Close behind in the total points scored was Claire Miller, second- place winner, who delivered The Message of Flanders Field by Robert Aurne. Honorable mention went to Dolores Busse for her delivery of The Last Shot by an unknown soldier, Claudine Carter for Makers of the Flag by Franklin K. Lane, and Charles McCarty for The Fruit of Victory by William H. Taft. The contest was judged by Leonard G. Nattkemper, who is a nationally known authority on speech. He is a former high school speech professor, and is the author of several well-known oratorical technique books. Mr. Nattkemper graciously went over all the points he had used in judging the winners and stated that the speeches were some of the best he had ever heard. Mr. Ai-leigh Kerr presented the prizes in person to the winners and expressed the desii ' e to sponsor a similar contest next year. An intei-esting sidelight was noted in that both of last year ' s winners, Paul Halstead and Marion Hornbeck have gi-aduated and have returned to junioi- college to compete for the upper division prizes this year. 101 ] Clifford Byei ' ley, Paul Halstead, Volney Faw, Walter Gi ' it ' s. Siilney KfriuT, Marion Hornbeik Herman Seigel, Lois Center, Evelyn Ross, Cecil Wood Upper Division Speakers MAJOR Problems Confronting Roosevelt, was the general subject for the upper division extemporaneous speech contest held May seven- teenth, and it proved to be the most interesting subject ever used in this contest. Six speakers were chosen after two preliminaries from the ten who were selected out of the entire public speaking class. In the preliminary tryouts each contestant could speak on any phase of the subject. How- ever, as this was an extemporaneous contest, Mr. Thompson chose the one phase of the subject on which all of the speakers weve to orate. Forty-five minutes before the assembly the subject w as given out. An interesting sidelight was brought out when the general subject for this year ' s contest was announced. Last year the subject My Can- didate for President was used, and this year the orators spoke on the Major Problems Confronting Roosevelt. Wilburt Clark won the con- test last year with a polished up-to-the-minute talk on Hoover. Bill Allen placed second. Both boys w ere in school this year, but could not com- pete. Another interesting point is that both of last year ' s lower division Armistice Day winners are competing in the contest, for com- peting in a lower division contest does not bar the person from entering the upper division competition the following year. Mr. Arleigh R. Kerr, local jeweler, realizing the importance of much platform experience to the young students, sponsors this contest and the lower division one each year. Miss Leona V. Smith has charge of devel- oping and handling the speakers. Mr. Kerr presents the winner with a Bulova wrist watch and the second-place man with a silver loving cup. This year the contest was judged by Dean Immel, speech professor of the Universitv of Southern California. [ 10.-,] The curtain rises.

That was the statement of the Evening Journal of New York for the first presenta- tion in Manhattan of the play Take My Advice. From the opening scenes to curtain, theaudience roared and howled at the uproariously funny comedy, ' Take My Advice, ' presented Friday, March 3, under the direction of Miss Leona V. Smith. This was the statement of the Compton Tartar Shield immediately after the junior college presentation of the play. Two separate audiences viewing two separate productions of the same play were unanimous in acclaiming the superiority and quality of this splendid production. As a clean, interesting, sincere, yet mirth-provoking play, the equal has yet to be produced on the Tartar campus. Although based on what calamity howlers would have us believe is a very serious problem, the dissolution of American home-life, Take My Advice certainly takes no sedate view of the matter. A family situation, closely approaching pathos occurred with the pathetic father being held at the doubt- ful mercies of a crooked bond salesman ; mother with a weakness for numer- ology; Bud and his heart trouble started by the local siren eight years Scene I ' lcim upper clivisiun play. Take .My .-Xdviei lOS ] Entire cast of mirth-provoking play dramatically pose for picture his senior; and Sis nursing a fond certainty that the Broadway producers were simply waiting for the opportunity to go into ecstacies over her histri- onic ability. Add these ingredients together and the sum is a barrage of gig- gles, chuckles and laughs. With an acknowledged cast as great, if not greater, than any cast ever to put on a production at Compton, the play was the most finished product turned out here. Temperamental Keery Kind, played by Alphonse Belprez, appeared on the scene to further complicate the affair. Playing very realistically the part of the effeminate woman-chaser, who is always first choice when no one else is around, Mr. Belprez drew great applause for his fine characterization. Florence Carpenter, who played Ann Weaver or Sis gave another real- istic characterization. She also has had previous experience in drama, having taken the girl ' s lead in both Seventeen and Pigs, lower division plays of a few years back. Bradley Clement, characterized by Don Glover, proved to be the person on whom the whole play was hinged, and Don came through with flying colors. His impersonations of a man deeply in love, and the time he out-wits the double-crossing bond salesman were splendid. Don Glover has seen service in many other campus productions, among them Come Out of the Kitchen and The Mikado. Bob Wellman, a newcomer to the Compton stage, portrayed the part of Bud Weaver, the love-sick infant and literally stole the show. Wellman ' s acting was perfectly natural at all times and his witty stabs and remarks brought down the house. Emily Poor, as the city vamp, Marella Scott, carried out her role to perfection, as did her bond-salesman husband, Jim Thayer, played by Lorrimer Felt. Mr. and Mrs. John Weaver, father and mother of Bud and Sis, were played by Leslie Sopp and Agnes Buttram respectively. Both were char- acter parts and both were done to perfection. With an up-to-the-minute modern play being presented in such a fine per- formance. Miss Helen Ryan, stage director, dressed the stage with futuristic furniture and draperies which brought out the finer points of the play. Take My Advice was a real play produced by a splendid cast, director and stage manager. [109] Lower Division Play LILIES OF THE FIELD CAST The Rev.

Monica Plane Victoria Wolfskill Lady Susan Rocker Madeline McC arty Clairette (a maid to Mrs. Walter) Laverne Vaughn ACCLAIMED as the most outstanding lower division dramatic production . ever presented at Compton junior college, Lilies of the Field, under the creditable direction of Miss Patty Baird, was presented Tuesday evening, November twenty-second. It featured a diversity of character parts, and Miss Baird molded together a well-balanced cast grounded in the many intricate peculiarities of the rural English family. This hilarious three-act comedy written by John Hastings Turner had previously been produced at the Pasa- dena Community Playhouse, and Compton obtained presentation privileges only through special permission of the Samuel French Company. Complications began immediately as the curtain went up on the home of Rev. J. Head, a country preacher near Gloucestershire, England. The Rev. Head, played by Robert Aby, who kept the audience roaring with his clever, pointed remarks, was visited by his wife ' s mother, Mrs. Rooke-Walter. Mrs. Rooke-Walter decided that she was going to give one of her twin grand- daughters ten yards of crepe de Chine and the other a visit to Paris for a lilsN lu lor picture [110] Entire cast of lower division play, Lilies of the Field month. She decided that the daughter that attracted the visiting antiquarian, Barnaby Haddon (Jack Steffenson), should go to Paris. After a struggle for attention, Elizabeth adopted old-fashioned clothing and customs, and cap- tured Haddon ' s affections. However, when she arrived in Paris in this fashion, she was finally forced to admit that this had been pretense. Catherine, her sister, while on a visit, became engaged to the conservative-minded idealist, Bryan Ropes (Garlan Fincher), when he gave overpowering evidence of his devotion by shaving off his beloved whiskers. Excellent characterizations throughout the play stamped it as a distinct success. Yvonne Sibbick, as the domineering mother-in-law, Mrs. Rooke- Walter, gave a splendid interpretation of that necessary evil of the family. Mary Louise Freer as Mrs. Ann Head, the Vicar ' s wife, lent dignity to the family otherwise practically barren in this respect. The twins : Ruth Van as Elizabeth, the brunette, who, even though she is strictly modern at heart, sud- denly goes antique to assume the role of a shy mid-Victorian ; and Virginia Thompson as Catherine, the strictly modern blonde, presented splendid por- trayals Lastly, the assumed superiority and dignity of two of Elizabeth ' s friends. The Hon. Monica Flane and Lady Susan Rocker, along with Withers, the butler, and Clairette, the maid, were cause for much enjoyment and laughter. Lower Division play productions have proven excellent entertainment in the past and Lilies of the Field more than lived up to traditions as a rollick- ing comedy. Three years ago the present series of comedies started with the presentation of the mystery-thriller, The Rear Car, followed the next year bv the simply squealing comedy, Pigs. Both of these plays were directed by the former ' drama coach, Mrs. Avalon D. Metcalf. Last year Miss Patty Baird appeared on the scene and produced Captain Applejack, the third of the series. And then Lilies of the Field. Thus where Captain Applejack previously had occupied the highest place in play production, Lihes of the Field has surpassed it, largely due to the splendid characterizations and impersonations throughout the play. [Ill] Christmas Play CAST Coinvd, the cobbler BRUCE PRICE Curl, a friend Richard Rehfeld Gustave, a friend Warren Lindsay Waiifarer Al Christensen APoorWoma)! MARGUERITE Shaheen A Mother and Child Geraldine NoRRis A Night Watchman Perry Anderson A Voice Clifford Byerley IN THE typical Christmas spirit, the annual school Christmas pro- gram was presented December nineteenth, with numerous musical selections as well as a play, How the Great Guest Came, presented by the lower division drama class. The play told the story of Conrad, a peasant cobbler of France, who had seen a miraculous vision of Christ who told him that He would sup with him that eve. Friends scoffed at him and rebuked him for his steadfast belief, but Conrad did not mind, and when a wayfarer, tat- tered and hungry, called at the house early in the evening, he fed the visitor from the best of his scantily-tilled cupboard, and then gave him his own coat to wear when he left. Later a poor woman with a gi-eat bundle of sticks on her back asked aid, and Conrad willingly carried her bundle for her. Still another visitor, a young mother and her babe, paid the old man a visit and asked lodging for the night. Though it was against the law, Conrad let he}- in and gave her his own bed, and then hid her from the night watchman as he made his rounds. Rut still Christ did not come, and at last Conrad knelt pray- ing, and there came a voice from heaven saying, Blessed ai ' t thou, Conrad, for as thou hast done unto these, so have you done unto me.

[113] THE stage crew, aside from perform- ing the mechanical duties at audi- torium presentations, made and de- signed some of the stage scenery. The window on the left was designed by Robert Aby under the direction of Miss Helen M. Ryan, faculty adviser. The colors are similar to those used in the stained-glass windows of the great cathedrals. The window was so de- signed as to give different color effects during changing in the lighting and the colors ranged from full, soft blues to brilliant red and orange. During the Christmas program a very beautiful ef- fect was reached as the colors changed to conform with the Christmas songs. The stage setting, used in the upper division play, Take My Advice, was designed and built by the stage crew. It gave a fine example of modern fur- niture, with its grayed turquoise blue wood, and upholstery of coral and gold rayon brocade. The setting was com- posed of simple wall-spacing of modern ines; a big window with horizontal bars and curtains of yellow, orange and coral completed a very colorful effect.

Success or failure of a production depend upon these unsung- heroes just as much as it does upon the actors who present the characterizations and receive the plau- dits of the audience. This group, under the skillful guidance of Miss Helen Ryan, is composed almost entirely of lower division students; Frank Dibble, senior electrician, is the only upper division student in the entire organization. The value of the stage crew is not limited to aiding stage presentations, but it serves as a medium of interest for those students sincerely interested in stagecraft and the workings of the mechanical department behind the scenes. The suc- cess of their coaching and the proof of their interest are amply shown in the fine handling of all stage equipment during performances in the auditorium.

Belprez Concert Master Gail Curren CULMINATING another successful season, the advanced orchestra of Compton junior college, under the able direction of Alidor J. Belprez, is rightly deserving of the enthusiasm and praise of the many audiences before which it has played. Programs presented by the oi ' chestra are varied and many, ranging all the way from assemblies to presentations for civic organizations. At the majority of the student assemblies held in the auditorium, the opening and closing numbers were rendered by the orchestra. Also, at all plays and dra- matic endeavors the orchestra continued its tine performances. A new height in superb musical entertainment was reached on the night of the Christmas program, when the magnificent performance given by the members of this instrumental group held the audience spellbound. Nor is it only at school affairs that the orchestra is in evidence for they appeared before numerous civic organizations, at which they gave their usual fiawless presentations. Among those receiving honorable mention for their work are those who were accepted as members at the All-Southern Symphony Orchestra, organ- ized at Santa Barbara State College. This is the yearly outstanding event in the high classics of music. Those honored were Gail Curren, violin; Cedric Bennet, violin; Marvin Butler, viola; Paul Higbey, clarinet; Virginia Kep- ner, cello; Bruce LeClaire, trombone ;and Evan Williams, string bass. L.

Belprez, Director President Kenneth Payne Vice President Elbert Landes Secretary MARGUERITE DUNCAN Drum Major Wilmot Becker THE BAND, long a leading institution at Compton junior college, flour- ishes under the capable guidance of Alidor J. Belprez, Compton ' s well- known director. As the season progressed, the band essayed more difficult pieces and is now giving superb renditions of the finest band music. It is at the athletic contests that the band appears in its full glory. Resplen- dent in their uniforms consisting of black sweaters with the band emblem and flannel trousers or skirts, the band presents a striking appearance, espe- cially at the football games, when, between halves, the band marches in full regalia, bringing honor and glory to Compton. Because the band plays with such zest and enthusiasm, the games are more colorful and enjoyable. Nor is it only at the athletic contests that the many admirers of the band have the privilege of hearing their favorites in action. The band has made numerous public appearances this year, playing in assemblies and outside performances. The climax to a successful season was reached in April, when the combined bands of the Bay League met in the Long Beach Auditorium in a master concert, at which Compton was one of the leaders in producing fine music. The band is to be congratulated on the masterful showing it has made this vear. [119] W( omen s Gl ee THERE is no finer representative of the Music department of Compton junior college than the Women ' s Glee. This organization, capably directed by Mrs. Lyllis D. Lundkvist, presents a striking appearance in the uniforms of blue sweaters and gray skirts. They have made numerous appearances, both on and off the campus, and have been greatly in demand by all the ser- vice organizations of the community. The readiness of the Women ' s Glee to cooperate in time of need was shown by the fact that they were ready for presentations within a week fol- lowing the return to school after the earthquake. At the Christmas Concert, in which all sections of the Music department rose to splendid heights, the Women ' s Glee, due to its fine performance, will long be remembered by those attending. The final bow of the season will be at the baccalaureate and graduation exercises, where, as in the past, their presentation will be one of the features of the program.

Brandvig Thelma Parks Director Accompanist THE MEN ' S GLEE, undisturbed by the earthquake and the resulting delay in school activities, have enjoyed their usual splendid season. It is under the direction and guidance of Miss Lillian M. Brandvig that this musical organization presents such excellent programs. Along with the other groups of the Music department, the Men ' s Glee is enhancing the reputation of Compton junior college as a leading producer of good music. As is customary with the school ' s music organizations, the Men ' s Glee has performed for several off-campus groups, each time giving excellent rendi- tions. Also this group has sung before the assembled student body several times. The Christmas concert afforded the many admirers of the Men ' s Glee the opportunity of seeing this group at its best. The stirring songs sung by the best masculine voices in school formed a combination that held the spec- tators enthralled. Baccalaureate and graduation exercises completed the season. Those members of the Men ' s Glee not appearing in the picture are M. Butler, C. Goldie, L. Rochin, C. Scott, Ran Taylor, J. Walling, L. Yeoman, 0. Reese, B. LeClaire, A. Christensen, and H. Twombly.

Cummings, B. Pridgeon, B. Taylor UNDER the direction of Mrs. Lyllis Lundkvist, capable department head of the music section of Compton junior college, the A Capella choir attained a standing par excellence among choral groups of South- ern California. Engagements to sing before large civic organizations and assemblies continually poured in throughout the year and for a major part of the season the choir could accept only a few of the many invitations available. Mrs. Lundkvist herself is highly complimentary of the work which the group has accomplished, and as the 1933 year drew to a close she stated that the A Capella choir was capable of competing successfully with professional groups. As this was the second year that the organi- zation has functioned as one unit, Mrs. Lundkvist believes that the group will be singing professionally within another year. The Parent-Teacher Association meeting on October 1, inaugurated the 1932 debut of the A Capella choir before a highly appreciative audi- ence. Many encores were rendered by the organization, such was their performance. This striking accomplishment set the spark for many similar triumphs which soon followed. The scene of the A Capella ' s outstanding achievement was set in our own auditorium on the night of December 19, when, before one of the largest audiences ever to witness a Chri.stmas program, the A Capella, together with the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee clubs, sang some of the most beloved Christmas songs ever written. The audience, sensing the bril- liance of the performance, was held spellbound as the A Capella, singing without accompaniment, sang the Cherubim Song and the Goodnight Wassail song. Other organizations for which the A Capella club sang were the Rotary club. Pathfinders, Ebell club, and the Relief Program in Lyn- wood. On March 25 they sang in honor of Old Ironsides. [ 122] Walter Hanson Dean Etmund Clifford Byerly Henry Kurtz Compton Male Quartet THE MALE QUARTET has taken the laurels from the women ' s group this year. With Walter Hanson, first tenor; Leo Yeoman, second tenor; Dean Etmund, first bass, and Clifford Byerly, second bass, the quartet has been able to meet a full sea- son of appointments. The quartet has rep- resented the college at practically all of the junior high schools and at numerous com- munity luncheons. The capital achievement of the group was to have been an appearance in Trial by Jury which was so long delayed because of the earthquake disaster in March. Dixie Quartet FOR the first time in the history of the junior college we have had a southern Dixie Quartet with a repertoire of folk- songs and negro spirituals worthy of any minstrel group. Miss Brandvig ' s direction has established a four with fine poise and dramatic interpretation. The group has rep- resented the school at various civic pro- grams and has contributed incidental num- bers to Y meetings and assemblies and P.-T. A. gatherings within the school. They will be especially remembered for their de- lightful encore number, Swing Along Chillun, with which they always have been successjful.

It is rapidly becoming one of the leading musical organizations of the community. The Instrumental Trio has made many public appearances, includ- ing the Parent-Teacher Association ' s programs and at the Lynwood Women ' s Club. Mr. Belprez, band and orchestra director, originally organized the Instrumental Trio, but the group is now under the supervision of Mrs. Lundkvist, under whom they have achieved continued success. All three principals of the Instrumental Trio are members of Phi Alpha, the honorary musical society, and are soloists in their own right. The Trio has not only afforded an opportunity for the develop- ment of ability by the members, but has provided enjoyable and worthwhile entertainment for the many audiences before which they have played. [124] Trial by Jury OLH B. Pridgeon, C Scott, L. Lundkvist, C. Lightfoot, G. Morland, C. Byerley, V. Hansen, C. Walker AMONG the many things damaged by the recent l . earthquake, the student body in particular and the community in general list the demolished school auditorium as one of the leading misfortunes. One of the reasons for this is that there cannot be pre- sented in the auditorium the operetta Trial by Jury, a Gilbert and Sullivan masterpiece. The pro- duction was within one week of completion when the shake came. Trial by Jury was considered to be one of the finest one-act operettas in existence. The only female solo part, that of Angelina, the plaintiff, was to have been sung by Claudia Lightfoot. The leading male parts were taken by Clifford Scott as the judge, Clifford Byerley as the council for the plaintiff, and Walter Hansen as the part of Edwin, the defendant. Charles Walker as the foreman of the jury. Bill Pridgeon as usher, a jury of twelve, bridesmaids, and spectators round out the cast. Everything is sung and the operetta is full of melodies, solos, and chorus numbers. All the leading characters had solo numbers and there were several chorus numbers. The glee clubs had been working hard on this production, and it was with the greatest regret that they could not present it in the school auditorium.

Chief among the list of things accom- plished this year was the annual Christmas drive held in conjunc- tion with the Y. W. C. A. The drive this year was the most suc- cessful ever launched and the Y appreciates the support which the students gave them in this project. A series of vocational talks was given to the group by sev- eral speakers which numbered among them Mr. Arleigh Kerr, Paul Martin, Hugh Landrum, and Reverend Paul Huebner. Many beneticial points were gained from these talks and it is hoped that more such speakers can be obtained next year. TheY is an organization open to all men students. Its purpose is to render service to the school and to try to bring to the stu- dents some of the things that they would not receive in other organizations. .MK MBEK s Fi )-.s- Ron- B. Prid)?eon H.

W. C. A. followed in its worlj this year. Eve) ' y gii ' l in the organization has tried to gain some enrichment from the programs which have been presented, and many useful thoughts have| been brought forth. Art, music, drama, fellowship, friendliness, work, and plaj have all been stressed during the past term. The Y. W. C. A. in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. sponsored the biggest Christmas drive that the school has ever experienced. Fifty-five baskets of food were delivered to needy families in this district. A depression dinner with the Y. M. C. A. men as guests proved to be a huge| success. A spirit of fellowship was established between the Y. M. and tht Y. W. this year, and good times were created between the two organizations.! The club was headed by Marian Bills and the whole organization cooper- ated for a successful year. As advisers, the group was fortunate in having three capable teachers, Mrs. Bell, Miss Lindsay, and Miss Neal. Supper meetings were held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of everj month. The group was organized on the basis of grade in school and eact class had certain functions to perform for every meeting. All in all it must be said that the Young Women ' s Christian Association had a very happy and suc- cessful year. Front Ri-n- E. Larkey L. Lucas K. Fallis T. Bagwell R. Sutherlin M. Mayi D.

LETOILE, THE STAR, gives the French students an opportunity to make a more practical application of their language. At frequent intervals the members have enjoyed themselves by seeing French plays, by hearing Fi ' ench music, and by participating in French plays, games, and songs. Membership in the organization is I ' estricted to students who have taken a year of high school French, or a semester of upper division French, with at least a grade of C. The regular afternoon dance sponsored by L ' Etoile was a delight- ful affair with a decidedly Parisian atmosphere. L ' Etoile also distin- guished itself at the Parent-Teacher Association carnival with an unusual exhibit. An incentive to greater effort in the study of foreign language is furnished by a first-hand contact with the festivals and customs of the inhabitants of France.

' ' - ' - U-ir .x y J REALIZING the linguistic advantage of a social hour in Spanish, El Bolero, under the leadership of George Coon as president and Miss Edith Salmons as adviser, set aside one evening a month for Spanish club socials. Excellent planning on the part of the officers made the programs exceptionally tine and as a result each meeting was well attended. The programs included humorous Spanish discussions, Spanish plays, and Spanish songs. At the Christmas program, many well-known Christmas songs were sung in Spanish. Again, Miss Molina, popular Spanish singer in Los Angeles, entertained at one of the meetings. To cultivate a mutual understanding and friendship with some of the Latin countries, Mr. Victor Seim, formerly a resident of Mexico, w as invited to speak to the club, as was the Argentine consul residing in Los Angeles.

For several years Mrs. Anna Beyers has been the faculty adviser of this active organization and again with her advice and the leadership of President Koopman, this was another banner year. The club held bi-monthly meetings with each alternate meet- ing an afternoon of songs and German discussions; other meet- ings were evening affairs in the form of beach and theater par- ties, and dances. As well as the afternoon dance that the club sponsored, they held a private party and dance in the Girls ' Gym in early Feb- ruary. This party was a form of welcoming and initiating of new members. It is fortunate that such an organization could be formed to supplement the regular classwork since German is one of the most difficult and most i)ractical in the foi-eign language groups.

It was organized two years ago when a pronounced need appeared for some cosmopolitan group devoted to the open discussion of international problems. The club has profited innumerable times from various speakers at afternoon meetings. Several very interesting and educational speakers were guests of the group during the past year. Mr. Charles Kinzek, a resident of Rus- sia during the Imperialistic regime, but now a professor of Spanish in the junior college, gave a very interesting talk on his ideas of Imperial- istic Russia. Mr. Joseph Power, a professor in the Social Science department of the college, spoke to the club on th e topic of Interna- tional Relations as a Career. Late in the year, Mr. Assiz, distinguished Turkish visitor to Los Angeles,! addressed the group. Special trips were made to Olivera street, Chinatown, the Japanese quarters and to the Hungarian section of Los Angeles, with characteristic dinners being served at each place. The annual club banquet climaxed a very successful year of activity. [135] Tartarettes OFFICERS Mary Dudley President Virginia Smith Vice President June Fraedrich Secretary Eleanor Olsten Treasurer Mrs. Neubauer Adviser WITH a membership totaling 64, the Tartarettes have proved to be a very cooperative organization. The primary object of the group is to be of service to the school in any way possible. With the aid of Mrs. Florence Neubauer and Mary Dudley, presi- dent of the Tartarettes, many things have been accomplished. The girls helped with registration at the beginning of each semester. Besides drilling for all of the football games held on the home field, they acted as usherettes and served at teas and faculty dinners throughout the school year. The members also have assisted in the A. W. S. and student body elections. The Tartar- ettes have cooperated with the Tartar Knights in various activ- ities and thus have been of greater service. In addition, they have held several social functions including a chili-bean supper at the Women ' s Club House in November, a theater party during February, and a beach party in May. Front Row B.

As a service organization and honorary social c lub, this group has functioned in abolishing the wearing of letters of other schools on the Tartar campus. Now in its fourth year of active work on the Compton campus, the Varsity club originated and carried out a novel program dur- ing the past year. The newest and most important feature was the rush party held for a number of promising prep athletes who had signified their intention of entering Compton. The affair was a stag theater party with about thirty-five present. Both Coach Frank Anthony and Dean Andrew were present and spoke a few words. Front Row L. Stevens L. Trvon D. Scliulte R.

AVIATION, one of the most important vocations open to the coming . generation, has its following on the Compton campus. The Tartar Pilots are profiting by the experience and connections gained through this group. As the youngest club on the campus, the Tartar Pilots are accom- plishing things far beyond expectation. Under the guidance of Mr. Warren, the fellows are learning much of the building of planes. Through the influence of Mr. Warren and Sid Kelly, Lieut. John Hayes of the Royal Flying Corps was secured to speak on Military Aviation. He told of his experience in the World War and some of the problems that faced the World War aircraft designers. A lecture was given also by a Boeing representative on Commercial Aviation. He discussed the problems facing commercial aviation in the future. Still another lecture on lighter-than-air craft was given by a Goodyear Zeppelin Company representative who discussed the early history of balloons and the present zeppelins. Sid Kelly . . .

Aside from the work done on the annual, several pictures were used by the Tartar Shield which had been taken by club members. The two advisers, Mr. Howell and Mr. Leuders, whose experience has fitted them to lead this organization, instructed the group in the finer points of photography throughout the year, and improvement in scenes during the year was noticeable.

At Christmas time a needy family was adequately cared for with food, clothing, and other necessary articles. Funds for this and other contributions were raised by candy sales held on the campus. The dainty tea settings and careful manner in which the dinners were served were due largely to the efforts of Miss Hall and a competent grouj) of officers during each semester.

The University Bible club has built up a constructive program of Christian activity centered about three fundamental ideas: first, the Devotional Bible course with its personal, daily sugges- tions for study ; second, the use of that course in presenting a new method of student evangelism; third, the further use of that course as a basis for a Bible expressional hour. The Bible club, since its organization on the Compton campus, has been very successful. At the present time it consists of about 30 members.

[ 144 A Word of Appreciation COLLEGE LIFE means something more than the mere devoting of four years to the completion of some college course. College life includes, besides the valuable knowledge gained from the course, many very important extra-curricular activities. These activities are centered in a group of social organizations on the campus devoted to various separate and specific aims. Every possible field of interest has at least one club as a representative, and it is up to the individual student to select and join the organization whose aim or endeavor best suits or applies to him. All such organizations have a social background, yet each main- tains its individual purpose. On the campus of Compton junior col- lege we have speech clubs, honorary service organizations, language clubs, and scholarship chapters. Social fraternities, Christian associa- tions, music clubs, athletic clubs, and journalistic organizations are also included. These organizations meet at registered hours under the direct super- vision of the student council and faculty advisers. During the past year their activities have been various in nature according to the interests represented. There have been no new interest clubs this year although a number of honoraries have petitioned the council. Compton ' s voungest club is the Tartar Pilots which was organized in Spring, 1932 and now meets every Friday night and has practically turned into a vocational group as evidenced by its work and programs. The yearly records of all our clubs show similar achievements. During the past year there has been a decided advancement in the establishment of school traditions and school loyalty. These increased social activities on the campus have led many new students to enter 1933 Tartarville. Organized, earnest teamwork among many small, hardworking units has brought about a close affiliation of the faculty and students outside the classroom. The value of social groups has shown up numer- ous times in recent years, and the faculty is realizing their usefulness now to a greater extent than ever before. While each organization has a capable and friendly adviser whose dutv and privilege it is to see that the club progresses, it is likewise the member ' s privilege and duty to support the club or clubs of his choice. In earnestly supporting his organization, either as an officer or as a member, he has a guiding hand in the destinies of his club ; and at the same time he is gaining experience in leadership which will he valuable to him as an adult in the field of business, in his contacts with his service clubs, and in his own private social affairs. [ 145 ] BOOK 4 ATHLETICS [146] k p? roreword FOR THE FIRST time in thi-ee years the Compton junior college upper division football varsity played through an entire season without winning the Western Conference football championship. During the past two years, Comp ton swept through all opposition with little or no trouble and was heavily picked by sports enthusiasts to repeat the brilliant performances of past seasons. But the breaks of the game, combined with a lack of cooperation at times, cost the 1932 edition of the Tartars a conference gonfalon. Even if the team did not go on to a title, Coach Frank Anthony put one of the finest defensive squads Compton has ever had upon the field for each game. The stout for- ward wall was a grand defensive unit from end to end, and enclosed in its ranks several all-conference nominees. In practically every game the line outplayed its oppo- nents, but breaks and the inability of backfield men to gain sufficient yardage caused losses where wins were expected. On the ends were Wigley, Gibboney, Henderson, and Shulte. Of this ([uartet Wigley and Gibboney were selected on several all-conference teams and their continuous perform- ances in every game merited their selections. Henderson, by his fine utility play, saw action in every game. At the] tackle positions were five of the mightiest players ever to cavort on the gridiron in Compton uniforms: Harry Hoop, Nick Trani, Johnny Hai ' p, Jimmy Hutton, and Lawrence Mulcahy. These boys were lai ' gely responsible for the great! success of the Compton line, and each gave his entire ability! while in the game. Of this (juintet only Trani is lost to next year ' s eleven. At guard, Compton ' s three stalwarts stood head andj shoulders over most of the other conference material Frank Scheliga, playing his second year of varsity football,! was a unanimous choice for all-conference honors. In every game his blocking and running interference for teammatesj paved the way for many huge gains. Orval Ai-tz and Stew- art Betsinger were the other two dependables at guard, Junior College Varsity Team Captain Melvin Seifert [148] and each completed his second | year of competition with the I team. Both boys were selected] on many all-conference teams. At center, Bob Spaulding, onel of the standouts on last year ' s! championship squad, again! proved his right to rank as the| best center in the league. His all- round pivot play was one of the I features of local football, and hel consistently opened holes in thel opposing line. Bob Nielson, cap-l tain-elect for next year, was also| a capable and efficient snapper- back and his defensive and of- fensive ability placed him on par with other centers in the| league. The Tartar backfield of 1932,1 although not graced with suchl outstanding stars as Yancey,| Canfield, Slagle, McKee, How- ard, and Rhien, was nevertheless! a hard-working and dependable! one. Throughout the entire yearf Coach Anthony experimented) with his backfield men in a de- termined effort to get a winning! combination, but without suc-| cess. One of the real disappoint- ments of the year came when no! outstanding individual star was! developed. At times the quarter-! backs would run the team with! accurate and well-directed plays,! and then would lanse into a! Wigley Snags Long Pass [lethargic mood. Such erratic tendencies put a halt to a third artar championship. In turn, inthony called on Tommy Tones, a veteran from last year ' s |squad, Linus Haby, Carson Con- rad, Tommy Turley, and Myron Lndrews in a desperate effort to mcover an efficient field general. At halfback, Captain Melvin jeifert, star blocking back and interference runner, Terry Olin, )ave Lukoff, Harry Cohen, and Job Chambers flashed their wares over the gridiron. Back- ling up the line as fullback was the unanimous all-conference |c h i c e, Hap Rauschenbauch, p hose great line plunging and ■defensive ability marked him as lone of the best backs in the con- !ference. _ _ [149] Fumble as Back Makes Plunge Through Line Left to Right Seifert Neiman Scheliga Betsinger Irani Nielson Olin Mulcahy Hutton Rauschenba 130 ] Tartars Score Touchdown Against Vaunted Cubs tJ ISH! tnr L . ' :- COMPTON 19 — SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FROSH ONE OF THE most surprising triumphs ever recorded by a Comp ton junior college football team as emblazoned in the maroon and gr ay sports history when the Tartars ran roughshod over a strong Uni versity of Southern California freshman football team. The Trobabe; annually provide Compton with its toughest pre-season game, but 193 saw a smooth-working Tartar grid machine smother the helpless FroshJ The first quarter was dull, but in the succeeding quarter Betsinger recovered a Frosh fumble on the 13-yard line, and in two plays Tomm Jones plunged over the goal line for the first score of the game. The tn for extra point was blocked. Starting the second quarter with the score 6-0 in their favor, the Tar tars executed a beautiful double pass, Jones to Seifert to Wigley, for touchdown. The conversion was good and the score stood 13-0 for Comp ton. A Tartar blocked a Frosh punt, and Compton obtained possession o the ball on the freshman 27-yard line. In the next series of downs Andrews passed to Gibboney to put the ball on the 2-yard line. On th next thrust, Andrews plunged over for a touchdov -n. This is the thin year that the Frosh have failed to score on Compton. COMPTON 6 — LOS ANGELES 6 In the traditional big game of the 1932 Western Conference grid- iron season, Compton ' s maroon and gray team tied the Los Angeles Cut warriors, 6-6, in one of the hardest-fought struggles ever witnessed at Ramsaur field. Both teams fought bitterly for every inch of the way andl when the final gun sounded the Tartar and Cub lines were completed exhausted. Each team lost several scoring possibilities in the first) quarter through failure to take advantage of breaks. In the second quarter, Los Angeles won a slight advantage by keep- ing the ball in Tartar territory most of the time. Mel Seifert and Weldonl Lucot, rival halfbacks, furnished most of the fireworks in this periodi with their brilliant open field running. At the opening of the second half,! Compton began an offensive drive that threatened to score, only to fail tol gain after the ball had been taken to the 6-yard mark. As the thirdi quarter ended the Cubs placed the ball on the Compton 6-yard line, fromi where Carelton pushed over for the score. The Tartar touchdown camel in the final minutes of play after Tartar backs had rung up five consecu-| tive first downs. The conversion failed.

This defeat broke a three- year winning streak of twenty-nine games which the Tartars held at this time. The defeat was a terrific blow to Tartar hopes, but that daj the Corsairs rose to uncanny heights in order to administer this defeat.! The great passing of Wood reduced the Compton boys to helpless- ness, and with Hest at the receiving end this combination was able tc run havoc with the Tartars. Conrad ' s fumble in the initial quarteij opened the way for the only score of the game. After two perfect passes] which placed the ball on Compton ' s 12-yard line, Woods heaved a beau- tiful pass to Hest, who caught the ball behind the Compton line for score. At the advent of the second quarter, Jones and the regular first team entered the game, but after a brief two minutes of determinec fighting, the team lapsed into a period of lethargic play, and were unable to score from the two-yard line where they had placed the ball ir their drive. COMPTON 6 — LONG BEACH 18 Not satisfied with letting the Santa Monica Corsairs upset themj Compton ' s confident maroon and gray team received another stinging defeat, this time at the hands of a smart Long Beach Viking. All of the Long Beach scores came through the use of every known method of scor- ing, as she gained points by a field goal, two touchdowns, a conversion,| and a safety. Early in the first quarter, Conrad ' s punt was blocked anc a Viking player ran to the Compton 7-yard line from where Frasei-I kicked a field goal for three points. Compton ' s bid for a score proved dis- astrous as a pass was intercepted, and on the next play Kelly Moar passed to Eggs McLane for a 40-yard gain and a touchdown. Then] the Tartars struck. Led by Midget Linus Haby, who rang up a series oi five first downs, Compton scored her first and last touchdown of thel day. Late in the second quarter, Viking passes put the ball on the 6-yard[ stripe, from where they scored. In the third stanza, two fumbles put! Compton back on its own 4-yard line, and when Rauschenbauch dropped! back to kick out of danger, he slipped and fell to his knees, giving thel Vikes a safety and two points. Haby was the outstanding star of the day.f [153] Wigley Catches Short Pass Against Pasadena Bulldogs Left to Right Andrews Hathcock Chambers Cox V. Jones Griffin Hobbs Shoemaker Metzger Lukoff V.

In practically every phase of the game Compton held the upper hand. The Tartars rolled uji] 8 first downs as against one for the Bulldogs. In passes, punts, and run- backs the Compton squad far outdid their rivals. Five times the maroor and gray colors were within the opposition ' s ten-yard mark, but on eaci of the times fumbles, or the lack of power to gain over the Cub line pre- vented a score. The much-heralded Stark was stopped in his tracks. He did not get even a chance to get away on one of his open-field journeys which he wasj supposed to be so good at doing. If the Tartars had played the brand of football all year that they did in this game, there would be no doubt as to who would have been champions. Neiman, Haby, and Rauschenbaucl shone in the Compton backfield, while Gibboney, Scheliga, and Betsingei starred on the line. TARTARS 27— BUCCANEERS With a gallant flourish, the rallying maroon and gray squad rang| down the curtain on the 1932 football season by soundly trouncing the Glendale eleven 27-0 in their annual Turkey-Day game. After a rapid succession of first downs, the Tartars scored as Hen- derson snagged a pass behind the goal line for the first touchdown, a fevil minutes after the opening kickoff. With the beginning of the second] quarter, a series of steady gains resulted in a score by Rauschenbaucl which went unconverted. Then another score, again made possible by the brilliant and dynamic playing of the fullback, set the score up to 20 as compared with Glendale ' s at the end of the half. After the rest period] Compton again ran roughshod over the visitors, but no scores were forth- coming in this stanza. During the last quarter, the Tartar reserves pushed over the last score of the 1932 Western Conference football sea- son. Thus the curtain came down on a year of upsets and reverses min gled with a few pleasing surprises for the Compton eleven. Too mucl credit cannot be given the coaches who tried to whip the team into i winning aggregation, and who did succeed in putting a fighting eleven] on the field foi- everv game. [ 155 ] .ower Division Football IN ONE of the most hectic Bay League football seasons in many years, Compton ' s lower division football varsity failed to win a single g ' ame, although outplaying and outfighting teams that finished above hem. The only decisive defeat suffered by the maroon and gray war- •iors was the 19-0 trimming which the Bay League and Southern Cali- fornia champions from Inglewood administered to them, and that only after a torrid defensive battle. Coach Eddie Suggett assumed the reins as head coach of the lower division Tartars, and developed a defensive team that was without oeer in the league. With only four lettermen left to build a team around, 5uggett took inexperienced men and worked them into a unit. Gill- man, DeHetre, Williams, and Boone returned to make up the nucleus for this group. The line, from tackle to tackle, was a bulwark on defense, stopping many of the league ' s most consistent backfield aces, but they lacked the ability to run interference and to open up holes for the back- field men. Many of the defeats suffered by the locals were heartbreaking ones, since they came on the wings of breaks which enabled the opposing teams to shove over deciding margins of victory. The Tartars lost their first two games by one touchdown margin to Huntington Park and Woodrow Wilson. San Pedro was the next team to face the Suggettmen, and although outplaying them, the Tartars were only able to get a scoreless tie for their efforts. Santa Monica, one of the really strong teams of the league, was the fourth team to engage Compton on the gridiron. But after sixty minutes of thrilling football, in which Compton mauled the Vikings all over the field, the game ended in another scoreless tie. Breaks and the ina bility shove over a touchdown cost the locals their first chance for a vic- ory. Then came the debacle with Inglewood in which the Sentinels by :heir superior play were able to run over the lowly Tartars. The Tai ' - ;ars traveled to Redondo to try to avenge some defeats, but instead vere completely routed by an inferior Sea Hawk team. In the eyes of the team and in those of many fans, the year was by 10 means unsuccessful because no wins were chalked upon the records. But, on the other hand, the year was a success because of the fine eamwork and all-around coordination which the boys displayed in ;very game. Although many times they knew that they were defeated, ;he team did not give up trying, as shown in the Inglewood game when, n the closing minutes of play, the ball was taken to the Sentinel o-yaixl ine, but not pushe d over.

Compton ' s mediocre playing seemed to be the deciding factor I in the game. Only at intervals did the maroon and gray players show any ability on the gridiron, while their opponents were Iquick to take advantage of every miscue. An attempted hideout pass, on Compton ' s part, following the Jkickoff, was intercepted by Smiley of Huntington Park. Smiley Icarried the ball to the Tartar 28-yard line from where two off- Itackle plays gained 7 yards, and then a pass. Smiley to Daniel, Iwas converted into a touchdown. The try for point was blocked |by Captain DeHetre. Huntington Park outplayed Compton until the last quarter, Iwhen the Tartars seemed to realize that they were being beaten land snapped into action. After holding the Spartans for downs Ion the 8-yard line, the Tartars swept down the field to the orange land gray 15-yard line, but two incomplete passes ended all chances Ifor a score, and the game ended with the visitors still holding (their one-touchdown margin. COMPTON — WOODROW WILSON 7 For the second consecutive game, Compton ' s lower division [Tartars lost to their opponents by a one-touchdown margin, this Itime to the Golden Bear from Woodrow Wilson. Neither team Ishowed a very flashy attack, but Compton displayed a much bet- jter style of play than in the Huntington Park fracas. The only score of the game came late in the second quarter Iwhen Lynch recovered Williams ' fumble on the Tartar 36-yard [line. Two tries at the line lost three yards, and then a long pass, ILynch to Cannon, was completed to the Compton 8-yard stripe. JTwo line plunges gained three yards, and then Lynch found a hole loff tackle and went over for the touchdown. The second half found Compton trying desperately to score, Ibut never seriously threatening the Wilson line. Oilman, Boone, land Williams tore large holes in the Wilson line, but were never lable to make their drives last. Boone Gains Around Pirates [158] Kell( Scores Touchdown for Inslewood COMPTON 0— SAN PEDRO FEATURING a punting duel between Boone of Compton andl Raflovich of San Pedro, the Tartars and the Pirates battled! for four quarters to a scoreless tie. Neither team was able to dol much in an offensive way, but both put up an airtight defense asj is shown by the score. Compton threw away its one chance to score when a fumblel over the goal was recovered by a Pedro man. Boone intercepted! a Pirate pass and ran the ball to the Pedro 38-yard line. On the! next play Williams broke out in the open for a 20-yard gain, and! then a penalty on the visitors for roughing gave the Tartars the! ball on the 3-yard line with four downs to put it over. On the next! play Williams crashed over, but fumbled the ball. Aside from this| one drive there was nothing much to choose between the teams. Dan Boone played the best game that he has played all season;] his kicking and his defensive playing were of the highest quality. Gordon Orr played a wonderful game at end, and was on the| receiving end of a lot of passes. COMPTON 0— SANTA MONICA Although soundly outplaying the highly touted Santa Monica| Vikings, Compton ' s lower division varsity received only a score- less tie for their valiant efforts. It was by far the best game that| the lower division footballers exhibited this season. In the first part of the game the team was functioning like al well-oiled machine. Compton seemed as if it was off to an early! score, with Boone slashing the beach city line to pieces. Boone hit! the center of the line time after time, continually making five and! six yards at a crack. Compton ' s first attempt to score ended on| the Samohi 15-yard line, as the Tartars lost the ball on downs. Soon after this, Boone, while running back a punt, was injuredl and forced out of the game. This casualty slowed up the ComptonI attack considerably. But still the Tartars maintained the upper! hand, although unable to crash over several times for a much-l needed score. On the defense Compton was superb, allowingi Samohi only three first downs of which one was a pass. Captain I DeHetre had recovered from his injury and was once again his| old self. [159] TARTARS — SENTINELS 19 PLAYING their usual superior game, the Inglewood Sentinels bested the lower division varsity on their home field by a score of 19-0. With this victory the Sentinels clinched the Bay League championship and remained the only team in the league which has not had a touchdown scored upon them. Keller, the outstanding halfback in the conference, was the shining light for the Inglewood eleven, and continuously ripped the maroon and gray line to shreds. He was assisted by Troxel and Sutherland, talented ball packers, while Williams, Gillman and Gordon Orr, stellar end, played great ball for the Tartars. Inglewood scored in the second quarter when Keller raced fifty yards to a score, and again in the third stanza on a play much Jsimilar to the first one. Compton attempted to score by a series |of long passes, but failed when Inglewood intercepted a pass rvhich they later converted into a touchdown. COMPTON 6— REDONDO 21 Rising to unknown heights, the Redondo Sea Hawks adminis- tered a 21-6 defeat to the Compton Tartai ' s. This win enabled Redondo to climb out of the cellar position and politely hand this spot to Compton. Compton took advantage of a 9-yard Redondo punt and [gained possession on their 20-yard line, and in four plays pushed their first and last touchdown of the season over that final line. [The extra point was missed. Redondo came right back, and made a 60-yard march down he field for their first touchdown. They plunged over for the jeonversion. The next time the Sea Hawks got possession of the all, they threw a short pass over centei- and followed this up y a 20-yard run, which accounted for their second score. They added the extra point and made the count 14-6. In the second half, Redondo again scored after an exchange of unts, and two 15-yard penalties against Compton had put them lin a good scoring position. This game closed the season for the llocals, and the team must be given credit for always fighting although playing against superior opponents.

A lack of reserves proved to be the deciding point in the two defeats suffered by the league leaders. The first string men performed nobly, but could not be expected to keep it up. Captain Jim Twombly proved to be one of the most outstanding- players in the league as well as an inspirational leader to his team- mates. Jim was the hardest-hitting fullback that was in the league, and more than one team can testify to that. Along with Twombly in the backfield were quarterback Frank Miller, and halfbacks Art Birdsall, and Ray Wimmer. These four men worked together as a unit with each man dan- Hb| gerous in a particular line. Virgil P Im Fisher alternated with Miller at quar- B|r f terback and proved to be a very flashy m m-, open-field runner. Sp Led by Carl Rahn at center, the « Tartar line was a worthy one from end ■ to end. Captain Jim Twombly [161] From the Bench ' • •ffii.Vi Vi v JwS , At the guard positions were two veterans from last year; namely, John Hiho Tatman, and Frank Bearded ' [an Smith. These two stalwarts took over their old jobs and handled them in a most admirable fashion. The two tackles were Bob Liggett and Max Slaughter, both veter- ans from the class C team. The end positions found Vin- cent Schleibaum, Cliff Houdek, Star Chamberlain, and Harry Scott all battling for the starting spot. Opening their first league game with their old rivals from Huntington Park, the Tartar Bees emerged victors over the highly touted Spartans with a score of 6-0. The Bruins from Woodrow Wilson were the next victims of the Compton team. Captain Twombly tallied twice to send the visitors home on the short end of a 13-0 score. Upon travel- ing to San Pedro the maroon and gray continued their win- ning streak by soundly trouncing the Pirates. Next came the affair with the champions from Samohi. Only a lack of reserves caused the locals to go down in defeat. The remaining two games found the Tartars breaking even by dropping the encounter to Inglewood and in return wallop- ing the Redondo Sea Hawks. [ir.2] Tartar Jaysee Basketball Doped to battle for first position with the strong Long- Beach Viking team, the Compton Upper Division team was only able to pull out a strong third place in the Western Division race this year. The Tartars dropped a 43-30 deci- sion to the Vikes and then crumbled before the Los Ange- les Cubs in the league finale. Ineligibility played havoc with the Tartar squad, and the result was that a weaker group was left from which to mold a team than at the beginning of the season. The loss of Captain Cohen later in the season left a big hole to fill, but Billy Schleibaum arose to the occasion and closed this gap. The work of Larry Tyron at guard was perhaps one of the outstanding features of the quintet. Larry was a steady, cool player and more than once proved to be the spark in the whole team. He was chosen on several all-con- ference teams, and if anyone deserved this choice it was Larry. Don MacDowell, Sid Kerner, and Joe Fox were the forwards who led the Tartar attack, and all of this trio proved their worth throughout the season. Fox was select- ed on L.A.J.C. ' s all-conference team because of his work in that game. Sass Smith and Ed Dillenbeck shared honors at cen- ter with Smith getting the nod over the latter. Smith was the leading scorer of the team and more than once proved to be the deciding factor in a game. Of the reserves Carl DeForest, Chet Crain, and Sam Chatinover proved to be the most consistent. DeForest will long be remembered as the deadeye of the squad while Chatinover and Crain both were reliable whenever sent in the game. Coach Mason had only a few men from which to mold a team, but the group which was finally selected proved, except at times, to be one of the best in the league. With a host of men returning next year, the 1934 season should prove a most profitable one as far as Tartar hopes are con- cerned. [163] Tartar J. C. Basketball TARTARS SINK CORSAIRS Overcoming an early Corsair lead with a concentrated scoring splurge, the Compton upper division team opened the 1933 conference campaign with a 35-30 victory over a scrappy Santa Monica quintet. Led by Art Gottlieb, all-conf erence center, the foggy city men presented a fast breaking bunch that the locals found hard to stop. The Tartars spotted the visitors 14 points before they could get going. Finally the maroon and gray outfit started to click. Sass Smith and Don MacDowell started dropping in baskets from all sides of the floor and soon put the Masonmen in the lead. From then on it was the Tartars game, although the visitors never once relaxed their hard-fighting stride. VENTURA 16— COMPTON 34 Hitting Ventura in full stride, the Tartars literally swamped the Pirates beneath a 34-16 score upon their inva- sion into the foreign seas. Picked by experts to put up a strong fight on their home court, Ventura wilted before the more superior play of the local five. Joe Fox, substituting for Sid Kerner, was high scorer with 13 digits. The first half of the struggle was fairly fast, and Ventura put up a stiff defense, but during the second stanza they were no match for the Tartars and fell easy prey to the maroon and gray attack. The work of the Tartar guards was outstand- ing; the very difference in the score being a witness of this fact, while the forwards were able to sink baskets from every position on the floor. TARTARS VS. CHAMPIONS Both tied for first place, the Tartars and Vikings met to decide who would remain the undefeated team in the western division, and the Black and White horde, by superior team play and all-around strength, emerged victors by a 43-30 margin. Jaysee Basketbal Team Captain Larry Tryon I 1(31 J I MacDowell Kerner Smith Dillenbeck MacLaushlin Schleibaum a trf) Q,| BULLDOGS VS. TARTARS I A last-minute rally coupled with the sharp-shooting of a little forward named Carl DeForest was the means by which Compton was able to earn a hard-fought victory over the Pasadena Bull- dogs in their fourth conference debacle. With Pasadena leading 29-33, DeForest was substituted and rang up a total of four goals to give the Tartars a well-earned 37-35 decision. Pasadena started off with a flourish and soon had developed a strong lead, but the Compton hoopsters, aided by some nice setup shots, overcame this and the rest of the struggle found the two teams battling on even terms with first one and then the othei- forging into the lead. [165] What a Game! Surprising everybody, including themselves, the Glendale Buccaneers nosed out Coach Mason ' s Tartars in a game packed with thrills from start to finish. The final count on the scoreboard showed the Bucs leading by a 38-36 margin. In the closing minutes of play a bar- rage of Tartar shots was thrown at the basket any one of which would have knotted up the encounter, but it just seemed as if they were not destined to reach the little hoop. The Bucs, headed by Captain Bob Leitch, dis- played one of the fastest breaking quintets in the league. It was the last half of the game that was the feature part. The home team started in on their deadly setup shots and quickly increased their lead. All of a sudden the Tartars came to life and led by Sass Smith quickly ran up a nice score. CUBS VICTORIOUS Showing a complete reversal of the form they displayed in the early part of the season. Coach Mason ' s Tartars dropped a 33-16 struggle to their arch rivals from Los Angeles junior college in the last conference game. It was a tough game to lose as it gave the Cubs second place in the western division standings, and relegated our quintet to the third position. Led by Captain Art Mollner and Spot Thor- ton, the Cubs flashed an attack which Compton seemed unable to fathom. Joe Fox, diminutive Tartar forward, proved to be the outstanding player on the floor, and he led the Compton scorers with six digits. ? wr ■ju Aiken Isaacs DeForest Chatinover Grain Knewtson Fox - [ IC.G] Lower Division Varsity Basketball Led by Captain Gordon Orr and Charles Chuck Wil- liams, this year ' s lower division basketball team presented one of the strongest outfits in the whole Bay League. Although falling before Inglewood, San Pedro and Huntington Park, the Tartars finished in third place behind San Pedro and Inglewood. San Pedro proved to have one of the best fives ever seen in Bay League competition. The Pirates had a tall, fast, rangy bunch and they by far outclassed any team which they encountered. Orr and Williams were both chosen on the mythical all- Bay-League team and both boys merited this recognition. Orr was the high-point man for the team with 60 points or an average of 10 markers per game. Gordon was considered one of the most dangerous offensive men in Bay League circles and often accounted for the points which brought victory instead of defeat. Williams was one of the coolest guards that has per- formed for Compton in recent years. His floor work was of the highest type and his speed and adeptness in handling the ball marked him as all-Bay-League material in every sense of the word. Opposing teams found that Chuck could move like greased lightning and the man who had to guard him usually left the floor with the conclusion that he had spent a good night ' s work. Backing these two men were Jack Henz, Kenny Atchison, and Kenny Dunnigan. Henz, a guard from last year ' s Bee team, found himself right at home in faster company and proved to be an outstanding player. Atchison and Dunnigan were consistent in their performance of forward duties. Both of these boys have another year and should prove big threats to opposing teams next season. WOODROW WILSON VS. COMPTON The Bruins from Woodrow Wilson came down to invade Samarkandy and found a fighting Tartar waiting to admin- ister a decisive defeat to their quintet. Right from the start Captain Gordon Orr Lower Division Varsity [107] Williams Atchison Kirkendall Henz Dunnisan ithe locals were masters of the situation and at no time were they headed by the Red and Gold players. The San Pedi ' o Pirates easily defeated the locals in the second league encounter, but it was no disgrace to lose to such a team. The work of Williams and Henz at guard was excellent and was the biggest factor in keeping the Pedro score down. Santa Monica came, saw, and went home defeated after engaging in a rough free-for-all contest with the Tartars. Cap- tain Orr was the outstanding player in the Tartar victory, accounting for a total of 13 points to easily cop high scoring- honors. The Inglewood debacle found a badly battered Tartar team losing to the Sentinels by a 37-26 score. Flu and fouls proved to be the Compton Nemesis. Chuck Williams went out early in the game via the foul route and greatly weakened the maroon and gi ' ay attack. The next two games — Redondo and Huntington Park, found the Tartars breaking even. The Sea Hawks were defeated 41-31 but the Spartans triumphed with a last-minute I ' ally. Fouls again were a big part in the locals ' downfall. [1G8] Middleweight Basketball Captain Schleibaum Lower Division Bee Basketball A fast, smooth-woi ' king quintet was turned out from the Tartar stronghold to represent the maroon and gray Bee class basketball team this year. Star Chamberlain, Ted Keene, Franklin Dunbar, Virgil Fisher, Herman Younke, and Captain Rusty Schleibaum formed the nucleus for this group while Harry Milledge, Virgil Tuttle, Howard Gravitt, and Jerry Grossman formed the reserve squad. This group of speed merchants were perhaps the fastest passing quintet seen on the local court in years. But the inability to hit the basket at crucial moments spelled defeat for them on several occasions. Star Chamberlain proved to be the eagle-eye of the squad with 50 points to his credit for the year. Next in order came Kid Keene with 39, closely followed by Schleibaum, Dunbar and Fisher. Schlei- baum, Keene, and Chamberlain were the outstand- ing stars on the team, but, although they were instrumental in making the team function right, the team could not have come through as well as they did if all five of the team had not worked together. 169] Dunba Chamberlain Fish The first three games on the Tartar schedule proved to be heart- breaking affairs as the locals lost these games by one- or two-point margins to teams which later in the season would have been setups for them. Woodrow Wilson was the first team which succeeded in beat- ing the Bees. A last-minute rally proved to be the deciding factor, and the Bruins went home with a victory under their belts. San Pedro out-lasted the Tartars in the next game to win by a one- point margin. The work of Schleibaum and Chamberlain was particu- larly outstanding and with a little more accuracy at hitting the basket, the locals might easily have won. Santa Monica let the Compton team take the lead from the start until within one minute of the end of the game, and then they rallied and eked out a 25-27 victory. It was hard to take those defeats from teams which were really inferior, and the Tartars showed good spirit in keeping up as well as they did. Inglewood was the next team which the Bees encountered, and although possessing a strong team, they were no match for the team which represented Compton that day. Led by Southpaw Ted Keene, the tea m soon ran up a score which the Green and White could not overcome. The locals looked that day as if they could have taken any team in Southern California. With a little more of this calibre of ball this (juintet would have won all of their games. Keene was hot and sank baskets from any angle of the floor. Some of his shots came from over his head and seemed impossible to make. Before the affair was over he had accounted for a total of 19 points. Redondo was the next victim of the Tartar team and fell before a barrage of shots which found Star Chamberlain sinking 10 points to lead the local scorers. A little cocky from their last two victories, the Bees traveled to Huntington Park and came back to Samarkandy a defeated aggregation. So ended a season which was much like the vicissitudes of life ; up and down and all over the place. [170] Junior Collese Track Coach Herschel Smith has come through to produce another of a long- line of wonderful track teams. Long the master of junior college trackdom, the Tartars maintained this standard and although faced with earthquakes, injuries and whatnots, came through to take second in dual meet competi- tion. At the time of writing the outcome of the conference meet is not known, but it probably will see the Tartars and the Los Angeles Cubs battling for first place. Heading the list of men this season is Captain Johnny Hickey, star two miler of the squad. Johnny is the kind that never gives up and is the posses- sor of a real fighting heart. The fellows recognized the leadership qualities which Johnny possessed, and were unanimous in their choice of him for captain. Perhaps no stronger sprinting team has ever been seen in junior college circles. Ashley Burch, great 220 man, Joe Fox, sprinter extraordinary. Holly Hayter, Southern Cal. 220 champion, Harry Talbot, former Spartan speedster, and Homer Bonham of Redondo made up the list of sprinters. Every one of these fellows was as good as the University runners and the next few years will find them competing in higher schools of learning. The quarter-mile race found a quartet of Alphonse Belprez, Bill Stevens, Sumner Case, and Johnny Lynn doing the heavy work for the team. All of these men were capable of under 51 seconds and demonstrated this ability throughout the season. Until the end of the season, the half mile was regarded as the weak link in the team. But near the end Eldrige Rice was shifted from the 8-lap grind to the shorter distance and was found to be very capable in the latter event. Pete Zamperini and Sid Butterworth negotiated the mile for the Tartars, and towards the latter part of the season both boys were running 4.35 in this event. Backing up Captain Hickey in the two mile were Melvin Hillger, and Harlen Wold. Both of these men have shown more development than any other men on the team. The low hurdles were one of the strong local events. Benny Seigel and Joe Fox did honors in this race, and were by far the most outstanding in the conference. Seigel has been timed in 23.9 while Fox has done about 24.L The high hurdles found Matt Stankovich, Seigel, Woodrow Knudtson, and John Salatick performing quite well. Although not as strong as some events, this race often provided the Tartars with some necessary points. The field events proved to the the Tartar stronghold. The team boasted the best broadjumper on the Coast and another not far behind. Harry Talbot was good for ove r 23 feet any day and more than once was able to leap 24 feet. Joe Fox followed in his footsteps and was good for many leaps over the 23-foot mark. Kenny Griffin, Walt Prill, Reino Maki, Jim Hutton, and Buster Boyer were the strong arms of the squad. The first-mentioned three were always good for over 165 feet in the wand-wafting event and on several occasions had throws of over 170. [ 171 ]l SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA A. A. U. RELAYS Scoring a barrage of firsts in the jaysee relays and open competition, the local track contingent scored an overwhelming victory in the unofficial scoring of the junior college division. The Tartars registered first places in the 880, mile, and m.edley relays. Matt Stankovich came through to win the B class broad jump, while George Boone scored a victory in the discus and a third in the pole vault. Perhaps the most outstanding performance as far as Tartar records went, was Harry Talbot ' s leap of 23 ' 11 in the broad jump. Hari-y let go and sailed out 8 inches further than his closest competitor and registered three jumps over the 23-foot mark. The half mile team composed of Seigel, Talbot, and Fox ran an easy race to set a new record of 1.29.8. This group of speedsters had no trouble at all in winning the event, and the time is considered very fast. The mile team reversed a previous decision with the L. A. team and came home to win in the fast time of 3.26. Belprez, Lynn, Stevens, and Hayter were the components of this team, and deserve to be complimented on their race. f m Captain Johnny Hickey VENTURA PIRATES SUBMERGED All-around strength in the field events and track races proved to be too strong a handicap for the Venturans to over- come, and our Tartars romped home easy winners in their first meet A. Q. Thoms, Ventura dash man, captui-ed both sprints, nosing out Joe Fox in a 9.9 hundred and then coming back and win- ning from Holly Hayter in a 21.4 in the 220. Bill Stevens, local quarter mile ace, beat the highly touted Pierpont in an easy race. The rest of the track races found Zamperini and Rice winning the mile and two mile respectively while Benny Seigel copped the low barriers. Willis Glasgow and Matt Stankovich divided honors in the pole vault; both men scaling 12 ' 6 . Joe Fox got off a jump of 23 ' VVi in the broad jump while Tom Collier managed to propel his lanky torso 6 ' 1 ' vertically in the high jump. Geoi ' ge Boone Upper Division Track Squad [172] Fox Winning Century Against Cubs copped his usual first in the discus with Prill pulling into third place. Davidson of the Pirates uncorked the best heave of his life to win the javelin at 172 ' 6 . Kenny Griffin and Walt Prill were right on his trail, but could not quite overcome this mark. Walter Giles arrived just as the shot put was finishing, but his one throw was enough to give him the blue ribbon. TARTARS VS. BULLDOGS Dominating all the field events and taking all but three first places on the track, Coach Herschel Smith ' s Tartars won their second western league encounter by defeating the Pasadena Bulldogs on the losers ' field. Led by Matt Decathlon Stankovich, the red-shirted warriors had no trouble in conquering the Bulldogs. Matt copped the high hurdles, pole vault, tied for first in the high jump, and took second in the broad jump. A pretty g ood days work for any one ! Joe Fox copped both sprints while Stevens, Belprez, and Case took a clean sweep in the quarter mile. Tartar men copped all the first positions in the field events. TARTARS ROUT VIKINGS A Terrible Tartar traveled to a Viking camp and completely routed the Black and White horde to the tune of a 99Vii—Sl% score. The Smithmen culled five clean sweeps from the meet. The tracksters scored their sweeps in the mile, quarter, two mile, high hurdles, and javelin. Walt Prill came through to share scoring honors with Fox, amassing a total of 11 digits. Prill garnered his points in the javelin, shot, and discus; while Fox won the broad jump, took second in the hurdles and in the hundred. The most gratifying performances of the meet were Ashley Burch ' s victories Matt Stanl ovich Clearing 1 2 Feet [173] in the 100 and the furlong. Burch had been laid up and this was his first return to open competition. His times of 10.00 and 21.7 were exceedingly fast considering the condition of the track. GLENDALE 26— COMPTON 105 When the smoke had cleared away after the last race of the Buc — Tartar fracas, it was found that the Tartars had scored their biggest triumph of the season over a team which was destined to finish in third place in the conference standings. With several of their best men lost because of ineligibility and injuries the Bucs were no match for the stronger Compton team. Impressive victories were chalked up by Joe Fox in the 100 which he sped in 9.9, and Burch in the furlong and quarter mile. Walt Prill demonstrated real power in the javelin by giv- ing the wand a ride of 166 ' 6 . Perhaps for all-around perform- ances Bill Stevens gets the recognition. Bill ran 10.0 in the hundred, 21.6 in the 220, and 50.4 in his relay lap. LOS ANGELES WINS CHAMPIONSHIP Riding high on the crest of a great wave of victory, the Los Angeles Cubs rolled down into Samarkandy and drowned a battered and injured Tartar under a 79 -:! to 51 ' .! score. Injured Tartars, although striving valiantly to uphold the honor of pre- ceding teams, were not quite equal to the huge task which con- fronted them. Kristovich Bonham Boone Maki Burch Collier StanUovich Tipton Moore of L. A. Sets Record in High Jump The Cubs captured every race from the quarter mile on up to the two mile as well as sweeping the shot put and the high hurdles. Carrol Lewis, diminutive leather-lunger, captured both the mile and two mile races in the exceptional times of 4.32 and 9.55.4 respectively. Marvin Hart, a teammate, virtually tied Lewis in the shorter distance, although the judges awarded the position to Lewis. Joe Fox annexed high scoring honors for the meet by winning the hundred in 9.8, the low hurdles in 24.4, and taking third in the broad jump with a leap of 21 ' 11 ' . Holly Hayter, laid up with a sore sacro- iliac joint, tried in vain to run the hundred, but his leg gave way before the half-way mark was reached. Benny Seigel was running neck and neck with Fox in the low barriers when he was forced out with a pulled muscle. The Compton trio of Griffin, Prill and Maki scored a clean sweep against the Cubs in the javelin for the only consolation of the day. Matt Stankovich cleared 13 ' on his first jump to win the pole vault. Sid Butterworth, Ashley Burch, Eldrige Rice, Captain Hickey, Bill Stevens, George Boone, and Ralph McBride all came through with needed points in their favorite events. [175] Compton Man Placing in Western Division Meet at Occidental The Cubs showed extreme power in the shot put where they culled a clean sweep with three men shoving the iron ball out over 41 feet. Red Cooper took the event with a heave of 44 ' 3 . One of the big high- lights of the meet was the broad jump. Three men jumped over 23 feet to establish some sort of a junior college record. On his first jump Harry Talbot leaped 23 ' 4 -J ' . Green of the Cubs was the next leaper and proceeded to jump 23 ' 5 . Little Joe Fox was not to be outdone so he jumped 23 ' V -J ' . This is as good jumping as one finds in regular university competition and all three of these boys are to be complimented. Both Fox and Talbot had leaps of over 24 feet, but both men crowhopped just a little. Barney Moore, dusky Cub high jumper, did not find the local pit to his liking and was only able to scale 5 ' 11 ' . However, this was enough to cop the leading position as Collier and Columbe were only able to jump an inch lower than this height. Captain Dalton of the Cubs barely nosed out George Boone on his last throw in the discus. Boone got off a heave of 130 ' 8 , three inches shorter than Dalton ' s best throw. Glasgow Salatich Boyer Moran GriFfin Zamperini Wold Fox [ 170 ] George Boone Gets Off a Good Discus Toss Western Conference THE Los Angeles junior college Cubs once again walked off with laurels in this year ' s track series by annexing the Western Division meet with a score of 88 13 14 as against the Tartar total of 55 6 7 points. These two schools were by far the outstanding teams in the meet, and other teams were able to cut in for only a few points. This is the first year that such an affair has been held, with the first four places from this division earning the right to meet the eastern divi- sion point grabbers. Many outstanding marks were registered which will undoubtedly stand for some time to come. Harry Talbot proved to be the only local first-place man of the day. Harry won the broad jump with a leap of 23 ' 5 ' - to nose out Green of the Cubs by an inch. Joe Fox was the other Compton entrant to break into the broad jump lineup by edging into a fourth position behind Glidden of Glendale. Sid Butterworth and Pete Zamperini pulled the big upset of the day by edging into second and third spot behind Wild Man Hart in the niile. Neither Sid nor Pete had been figured for better than third and fourth, but this was an agreeable surprise to local followers. Ashley Burch showed up well by taking second in the furlong and a fourth in the shorter dash, and then running a beautiful lap on the relay team. Bill Stevens lived up to pre-meet dope by taking a second to Rout of L. A. in a 49. 8 quarter. Stevens came up fast at the end and looked the best he has all season. Bill then upset things by taking a fourth in the furlong. Kenny Griffin and Walt Prill let go of the javelin to give it rides which placed them in second and third places respectively. George Boone had to succumb to Captain Dalton of the Cubs, but was the only man outside of Cubmen to break into the first five. Tom Collier cleared 6 ' % to tie for second place, and then went on to win the medal in the jump-off. Eight men tied for the third position in the pole vault, and four of these tracksters wore the maroon and gray colors of the Tartars. Stankovich, McBride, Glasgow, and Boone were the men to share in this honor. Captain Hickey took his second place in the two mile while Eldrige Rice came through with a fourth in the 880. Walt Giles surprised every- one by copping fifth spot in the high hurdles. Walt had not even been figured an outside chance of placing in this event, but came through to pull a nice surprise out of the bag. [ 177] F resno Rel ays TWO BOYS wearing the maroon and gray of Samarkand came back from the Raisin Day Festival with gokl watches. Harry Talbot and Matt Stankovich were the lucky boys, but both of them deserved them. Talbot set a new record in the broad jump with a leap of 24 ' 1 ' o . This hop replaced the old record held by Junkheit of Santa Ana of 23 ' 5 . All of Talbot ' s jumps were well over the 23-foot mark which is remarkable jumping for any class. Matt tied with Sharpe of Glendale at 12 ' 6 in the bamboo event, and then was lucky enough to win the toss-up for the watch. The sprint relay team composed of Stevens, Case, Talbot, and Burch pulled up into third place behind the strong Sacramento and Modesto teams. Without Hayter and Fox this group was lost, but would have easily taken the vent with these two men. Stevens, Case, Rice, and Burch made up the mile relay team which took second behind the Los Angeles Cubs. The loss of strong men was a big handicap. Walt Prill got off the best throw of his life in the javelin with a toss of 174 ' 41 , to come in a strong sixth behind the northern strong-arm men. Walt h as the ability to throw the spear out of the lot, and we predict that the future will find him literally accomplishing this. The Tartars were able to garner third place out of the melee, annexing 21 points as against L. A. ' s 36 ' , and Sacramento ' s 29. With the addition of Hayter, Fox and Belprez you guess what the outcome would have been. We know ! Hillser Knudson Conrad Butterworth k w W . 1 (|i n W -■-M m Scott Hayter Belprez 178 ] AII-ConFerence Meet WITH sixteen men entered in the all-conference meet, the Tartars were considered to have an outside chance of upsetting the strong Cub outfit. Although the Campbell- men naturally ruled the favorites at the time of this writing- it appears there would be a chance to overthrow the crimson men. Men who (lualified to enter in this meet were as follows: Ashley Burch was set for the hundred yard dash and the fur- long. The writer feels that Ashley will be right up in the front ranks after the all-conference races. With Bill Stevens in the quarter and the 220, Eldrige Rice in the half-mile (we expect great things of Eldrige), Sid Butterworth, and Pete Zamperini in the mile, Compton pulled the surprise act in the western division meet. Captain John Hickey was in the 8-lap event, and Johnny is one of the best two-milers in the con- ference. Joe Fox was in the low hurdles and broad jump, although too much baseball caused Joe not to be able to come up to par in the western division meet. Matt Stankovich, Ralph McBride, and Willis Glasgow were in the pole vault. Quite an array, don ' t you think? George Boone hurled in the discus and managed the pole vault; Walt Prill and Kenny Griffin tossed the javelin ; Harry Talbot took the broad jump. There goes another record we will bet our new straw hats. And last and mostly least, Tom Collier, in the high jump. Tom has promised to jump 6 ' 4 in this meet, watch him do it ! All this is but a shell of the track team which once started out the season ; it is a group that will give a good account of themselves no matter under what conditions. We think that these boys are capable of taking the Cubs into camp, and we hope that this prophecy comes true. By the time you read this annual you will know just what kind of prophets we are. Case I Stevens Lynn Hoyt [179] Lower Division Varsity Track THE LOWER division varsity presented a mediocre team this year, dis- playing little power on the track, but a great deal in the field events. Coach Hartmann took over duties of developing the lower division tracksters this year, and succeeded in doing a good job of this task. Captain Dan Boone Lower Division Varsity Track 1 1 4 g H 8 Orr Wils Rogers Myers Miller Christenson Fisher Reece [ 180] The team started out the season with a triangular meet between Redondo, Inglewood and Compton. The Tartars pulled up second in this meet only bowing to the strong Sentinel team. Captain Boone, Wilson, Orr, Moon and Myers stood out in this meet, all live of these boys placing high in their events. Santa Monica, Huntington Park and Woodrow Wilson were all met, and with varied success. As a whole the Tartar team was not one to cope with the other teams, but some of the individual performances kept them up in the running, with the result that they were always a threat in every meet. Captain Boone was the outstanding shot putter in the Bay League. Dan was always consistent at over 50 feet, and more than once demon- strated his ability to defend his title as the best. Bud Wilson proved to be the strong-arm gent of the team by easily conquering everyone in the football throw as well as placing high in the shot. Bud now holds the Bay League record of 226 feet in the football throw, and if you figure it out you will find that this is a toss of about 75 yards. Plenty good for anyone. At the time of writing Wilson failed to get a good throw in the Southern California meet and only placed fourth, but his supporters all expect Bud to easily take the state meet. Gordon Orr was another of the Tartar hopes. Gordie performed in the high jump and was consistent at over 6 feet. Orr has a great future in this event, and his coaches expect him to go far. Moon was the local hope in the pole vault and he performed nobly throughout the year. Virgil Fisher, and Mervil Miller were the broad jumpers for the group, both of these boys were capable of over 21 ' 6 with Fisher getting off several hops of over 22 feet. On the track, Dan Christenson in the 220, and quarter, Myers in the sprints, Gascou in the hurdles, Reece in the half, and Rogers, and Grain in the mile, composed the main part of the Tartar squad. All of these men turned in good races during the year, but were apt to be erratic. However, many of these boys spent their first year on the track this season, and still have plenty of time for development. Captain Boone and Wilson were the only two Tartar men to gain the right to enter the state finals, and both of these boys are being covmted on to put the Compton team right up among the leaders as far as scoring- goes. If Wilson comes through with his expected first, and Boone can edge into a second, this would give the maroon and gray forces a total of 9 points which is good enough to rank with the leaders. Atchison Cosgray [181] c M Wright Nichols i Cochran Johnson i I • Cooper h Bolton Kurashige Bee and Cee Class Team THE FURTHER elimination of the 10th year class sadly depleted the material from which the coaches had to pick their Bee and Cee teams. Due to this they were not so successful as in former years. However, several men placed high in their events, though they soon realized that there was Safety in numbers — they failed to come out victors. Captain Harry Scott was in the broad jump, an example to his athletes, and showed fine spirit in leading his team. Boyd Nichols proved to be a broad jumper par excellence. Nichols on more than one occasion won the Bee class jump with a better mark than that of the varsity. Boyd was credited with marks of 20 ' 101 i- and 20 ' 9 , and consistently hovered around that mark. In ad- dition to this en- viable record in broad jumping, Nichols was en- tered in the high jump and stead- ily made a mark of 5 ' 4 . Paul Lawson was the Tartar hope in Captain Scott Griffith Set to Cop First SH [182] Lower Division Bee and Cee Teams the pole vault. Paul was always to be relied upon to go over the top at 11 ' and several times he stretched that to 11 ' 6 . Such vaulting is to be commended by anyone. Johnson represented Compton in the hurdles and was always to be counted upon to place in every meet and gather in more points for the valiant team. Two men from this little Compton team entered in the Bay League finals. These two were Tom Kurashige, who lined up for the 660, and Howard Mouse Gravitt, who entered the broad jump. Kurashige took third place in this meet and this enabled him to enter the all South- ern California field affair. Tom, however, was not so successful here, and was unable to break into one of the coveted places. He was forced to drop from any further competition. It is worthy t o note that these boys have done so well after being so handicapped and after having lost out on as much training as they did. It is only fair to assume that other fellows would have succeeded in placing in the finals if they had not been so unfortunate as to have lost out on the necessary amount of training. Compton is proud of the brave fight that her valiant midgets have waged against such tremendous odds. She is proud of their courage, and places much hope in them for the future in that many of them will return next year as veterans, and a few will win laurels for the varsity. [183] Zamperiiii, HillK ' ' ! ' , Wolil, Hickey, Tipton, Boone, Butterworth. Coach Smith Cross Country Champions THE 1933 edition of the Compton Cross Country team found a Tartar horde sweeping all opposition in front of them to walk away with the Jaysee championship which the Los Angeles Cubs have held for the past two years. Members of the team wei ' e as follows: Captain John Hickey, Francis Benavidez, Sid Butterworth, Pete Zamperini, Harlen Wold, Oscar Sandstrom, Frank Tipton, Melvin Hillger, Fred Seibert, and Bruce Le Clare. Led by Captain Hickey, this group defeated such teams as U. C. L. A., Cal Tech, and then the regular conference teams. The climax of the whole season was the conference victory held at the U. C. L. A. course. Here the Tartars were complete masters of the situation. In cross coun- try races, the score is kept by giving each man a number as he crosses the line, starting from one on upwards. The team having the lowest total out of her first five men wins the meet. In the conference affair the Tartars placed second, fifth, sixth, seventh, and fifteenth. Benavidez took the second spot behind Lewis of L. A., while Butterworth, Zamperini, Hickey, and Wold were the remaining four men. Placing four men in the first ten is a noteworthy performance and demonstrates the reason for the Tartar victory. Of this group Zamperini, Butterworth, Hickey, Wold, Tipton, and Seibert have another year of competition. This group will form a strong nucleus for another successful team. If these men repeat their performances, there is no reason why the Tartars should not have another championship in 1934. By their victory the team won a cup which becomes permanent when any one team has succeeded in winning it three times. The Cubs have two legs on the trophy, and it is the Tartar desire not to let them win it again. [184] BASEBALL Upper Division Baseball Champions Captain Stampe Conference Champions CONFERENCE champions! That is the title which Coach Eddie Suggett ' s baseball team can boast of this year. With but one game left on the schedule at the time of this writing, the horsehiders have cinched the pennant already and can even lose the remaining game to the Cubs and still rule winners. With a wealth of material confronting him at the first of the year, Coach Suggett took this group of players and molded them into a smooth, fast-working nine. The intield was one of the fastest ever seen in Jaysee history, while the outfield presented about six hard-hitting players any one of which could have fitted into the position. In the infield we find Big Ben Hathcock and Sammy Bracht battling for the catching position, while we find Captain Stamper firmly entrenched on the initial sack. At second and short Suggett had one of the best combinations that one could possibly find with Martell and Joe Fox doing duty at these two posts. On to third we find Billy Schlei- baum and Jack Malseed battling for the keystone position with the former getting the nod for the starting lineup. In the pitcher ' s box we find old reliable Everly. Everly ' s pitching was one of the highlights of the season, but, of course, he was given wonder- ful support. We find the outer gardens patrolled by Gene Foster, Wilde, and Volus Jones with Earl Cham- berlain, Shulte, and McVey pressing these boys continually throughout the season. Foster and Wilde were two of the hardest hitting men on the team and along with Al Martell shared bat- ting honors throughout the season. [186] Jones Smith Chamberlain Foster IS COMPTON 9— SANTA MONICA 5 The Tartars started their championship season off impres- sively by easily trouncing the Santa Monica Corsairs to the tune of a 9-5 score. Claude Everly went the whole route for the locals and kept his hits well scattered. Hard hitting by Martell, Wilde, and Foster was the main factor in the maroon and gray victory. Joe Fox and Al Martell demonstrated some classy fielding by turning in three double plays for the day, while the whole infield turned in errorless performances. Wilde insured victory when he went back into the hedge with two men on base to snag a long fly which would certainly have been a triple. TARTARS 9-VIKINGS 5 Led by Joe Fox and Bud Wilde, the Tartars downed the highly touted Long Beach Vikings with the identical score by which they had beaten the Corsairs from Santa Monica. Fox con- nected with a home run in the fourth inning with the bags loaded which helped the Tartar cause decidedly, while Wilde, Martell, and Foster also contributed heavy stick duty. Everly got ofi to a bad start which gave the visitors a lead, but the locals soon over- came this, and Claude settled down to pitch a nice game. So ended the second Conference venture. Gene Foster Makes a Score [187] Shulte Chamberlain Switzer PASADENA SOUNDLY TROUNCED The Tartars met the Bulldogs in the crucial game of the baseball season, and were able to walk off with a 7-3 vic- tory, and the assurance of a championship. The visitors established a one run lead early in the tirst few innings, but the maroon and gray club came right back to double this, and then with the aid of some timely hitting went on to establish a lead which the Pasadenans were never able to overcome. The visitors lived up to their reputation of having a good team, and furnished the Samarkand chieftains the most competition that they have experienced, but better fielding and timely hitting proved to be the deciding factor. Horowitz Everly Schleibaum Martell Bracht [ 188] Schleibaum Puts Man Out on Third HAIL CHAMPIONS The Glendale Buccaneers proved to be the only obstacle in the Compton path of success, and this was soon done away with by our title-bound baseball team in a very neat fashion. The Bucs proved no match for our champions, but boasted a well-balanced team backed up by a good pitcher. However, the Tar- tar batting power again came to the foreground and blasted the Bucs right off the field. The big sticks of Foster, Wilde, Fox and Martell flashed mightily in the visitors face, and these big sticks proved to be the Glendale Nemesis. Claude Everly again proved to be the maroon and gray moundsman that was to pitch the way to victory. Claude is to be congratulated on the way he has pitched this season; he has been backed by marvelous support, but it has also been due to a lot of his pitching. Sopp Malseed Spielburger McEv Wilde [ 189] Oi ower uivision THE SURPRISE package of the league is probably the best label that can be given the Tartar lower division baseball team. Not rated more than about a fifth position team, the locals ended the season by arriving in third place, and being handed the offer to enter the C. I. F. play-offs. An ineligible man kept the Compton men from participating in this, but nevertheless they came through with a very successful season. Every man on the team gave his best, and considering the odds, Compton should be proud of this group. Lower division looks for- ward to placing high in the conference next year. Schleibaum Th ompson H« Cameron Chamberlain [ 190] Stamper Everly and Schleibaum i Starting off the season in impressive style, the local horsehiders adminis- tered a decisive defeat to the Redondo Sea Hawks by winning a 9-6 verdict. Henz went the route for the locals, and aided by splendid support came through to give the Tartars their first victory. Williams and Firanzi proved to be the big guns at bat for the Compton team. Wilson turned the trick against our boys by pulling a surprise 11-5 victory over the favored Powarmen. Errors proved the undoing of the Tartars, and the Bruins took advantage of every miscue to turn many of them into precious runs. Dunnigan and Gonzales were the mound artists for the Compton team. The maroon and gray team which took the field against the Bruins appeared far from the group which had beaten Redondo the week before. Huntington Park and the champion San Pedro Pirates vented their wrath on the local ballmen by administering sound defeats to the Tartar forces. The Pedro game could hardly be called baseball. It turned out to be more of an affair to see who could drop the most balls, and before the encounter was over the Pirates had nicked the plate for 21 runs to the Tartar 6. Dunnisan Dein Johnstone 1 1 JIB ' Lane « [101] Schleibaum at Bat in Pasadena Game Avenging herself for the three straight defeats which she had suffered, Compton came back strong to lick the Inglewood Sentinels 14-6 in a game played on the latter ' s field. Captain Williams and Kenny Dunnigan proved to be the heroes, the latter letting the Sen- tinels down with but five hits while Chuck hit the ball all over the proverbial lot. Johnstone, Deines, Chamberlain, Keene, and Schlei- baum also showed up well and were contributing factors in the local victory. The real upset of the season came in the final game when the local baseballers came through to defeat the Samohi chieftains 5-4. The Santa Monicans were leading the league and had figured on cinching the championship. This defeat, however, put them down to second place and handed the top spot to the Pedro Pirates. In the meantime our boys had climbed into the third place spot. Kenny Dunnigan again went the route for the Powarmen, and performed his job nobly. Vinny Schleibaum became some sort of a hero by poling out a long homer with Captain Williams on base to bang in two runs. Firanzi, Gonzales, and Cameron showed up well in the local attack along with the rest of the Tar- tar team. This sure was an impressive way to ring down the curtain on the 1933 season, and the locals showed fine spirit in accomplishing this feat. D unnigan Firanzi Sellers Slaughter Datewiler 9 f f 1 1 n [192] TENNIS lennis FOR THE first time in the history of athletics at Compton junior col- lege, tennis was put on a par with other major sports and was officially declared by conference heads as a major sport. When the change was made, added interest in tennis was noted and a large turn- out for the upper division team responded to the first call for candi- dates. After round robins and elimination matches were played, the men who finally were selected to repi-esent Compton on the courts were: Al Fierman, Granville Jordan, Gayne Marshall, Bob Campbell, James Dunlap, Grady Weltej-, Bob Fouke, Bill Sims, and Bert Svenson. From his position of first doubles, Bert Svenson captained the team and he proved to be a tine leader, while Henry Kurtz managed the team. At first singles the bi ' illiant and steady Al Fierman held sway. For- merly a Bay League champion, Fierman played fine tennis throughout the season and at the time of this writing has not been defeated in any of his matches. At second singles Granville Jordan replaced Harry Kan- naster, when the latter withdrew from school, and played good tennis in all his matches. Third and fourth singles were taken care of by Bob Campbell and Bill Sims. In the games played to date these boys have shown good form and have been consistent at all times. At first doubles the veteran combination of Captain Bert Svenson and Gayne Marshall swept through to a very successful season by win- ning a majority of their matches. Both Svenson and Marshall were steady str oking players and theii- experience hel])ed through many tight places. Second doubles were played by Grady Welter and James Dunlap, who formed a steady combination and were undefeated at the time of this writing. In the first conference match of the year the maroon and grey courtsters trimmed the Santa Monica players by a score of 19-6, and the following week came back and trimmed the Ventura players by the same score. In each of these matches every player on the team showed exceptional ability and showed signs that they would be very much up in the running for the conference championship. [101] Because of the earthquake, all of the matches had to be played on foreign courts. Four of them were originally carded for Compton, but temporary structures were built on the courts here which necessitated the matches being played away from ho me. Competition this year was the strongest it has been for years. Every school in the league entered a team, so a full schedule was played. Besides the league matches, several practice matches were played with leading universities and junior colleges in Southern California. The added popularity of tennis this year was probably due to its being voted a major sport. Practically every school in the conference showed up with strong teams in their practice matches and several hot matches are sure to be played. According to pre-season showing. Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Comp- ton appear to be the favorites. All won most of their practice matches and show a very strong line-up. Long Beach, with most of last year ' s veterans back and several stars up from Poly and Wilson, appears as the favorite. Los Angeles, winner of the championship last year, is sure to be repre- sented with a strong squad. In their pre-season play, they showed excep- tional strength in their singles. Glendale, Pasadena, and Ventura do not seem to be title contenders, but may prove to be a big surprise to some of the favorites. This is the first year Ventura will go through with a full schedule, so strong competition is not expected from them. Santa Monica, home of the famous Doeg and Bundy families of tennis fame, is the dark horse. They always have a strong team and this year may surprise everyone and win the league. Gordon B. Oakeshott served in the capacity of coach and through his interest in the game and because of his willingness to help the players, the team functioned smoothly and played in one cooperative unit. [195] .iS MNf L L Coach Powars, Coach Pine, Coach Suggett, Coach Hartman, Coach Smith, Coach Mason AWord of Thanks EACH year finds Compton Junior College and High School sending a group of young men out on the athletic fields to do honor for the Tartar school. Behind these teams are a group of men known to us as the coaches. These men have spent time and thought in developing this material which they have received, and often do not get credit for this hard ' ork. In past years Compton has always been represented by strong teams in every line of sports. Many trophies and championships have come this way and many honors have been awarded to us. For the most part this can be laid to our coaches. It is their duty to educate the boys in the sports and then coordinate them into a smooth-working unit. From the records that we have, these men have succeeded in performing this duty. At the head of the athletic department we have Coach Earl Deacon Pine. For nine years the Deacon has headed Compton teams and always come out with flying colors, not always championship teams, but at least fighting teams and teams with the right spirit. We next have Coach Herschel Coachie-Woachie Smith, track and football mentor. His track teams have been the pride and joy of the confer- ence for many years and many men have left his training to go on to greater heights in other schools. Coach Eddie Suggett has come to be loved through his contact with baseball and football. Always jovial and happy, Eddie has helped to bring many winning teams to the Samarkand city. At the time of writing his base- ball leam is headed towards a championship to add to their large total. Basketball and baseball have another man at their head known to us as Coach P rank Pop Powars. Wise in the ways of all athletics, Pop has helped many boys in theii- desire to learn more about the different sports. Two new coaches have i-ecently been added to the already famous list, Ernie Hartmann and Kenny Mason have taken over duties as basket- ball and track coaches respectively. Mr. Gordon Oakeshott and Jimmy Burton as coaches of tennis and gym- nastics have done wondei ' s in their line and are welcome to our congrat- ulations. [ l!)G ] MINOR SPORTS ACTIVITIES in minor sports were limited to two divisions tliis year ; namely, golf and gymnastics. The Student Council voted to make tennis a major sport in junior col- lege, henceforth, lower division tennis and wrestling had to be abandoned because of the recent disaster. However, several of the mammoths of the school, under the direction of Coach Pine, have been engaging in intra- mural wrestling after school. Compton junior college was well represented in the two sports still remaining in the minor sport section this year; teams being produced that ranked with the highest in the league and in some instanc- es higher. Jimmy Burton acted as the coach for the gym teams this year and handled them in most admirable style, producing a high school team which was without a peer in Southern California, and an upper division team which, although only boasting six members, was con- sidered a top-notcher in junior college circles. The golf team went through the season without a mentor this year, although they were under the supervision of Coach Pine. The boys deserve a lot of credit for coming- out as well as they did when they had to depend on each other for coaching. The home ground for the local divot diggers was the Rio Hondo golf course. The fellows did all their practicing here (although it was reported that Bob McGraw was seen at a miniature course once) and all home games were car- ried on at this site. Minor sports are apt to be overlooked by the members of the student body, but it must be remembered that the fellows work just as hard and are just as enthusiastic as in any other sport. It is too bad that it was neces- sary to do away with wrestling and lower division tennis this year, but it is hoped that next year will see these two sports resumed. [ 197 Upper Division Gym Upper Division Gymnastics QUALITY and not quantity was represented on the upper division gym team this year, and in some cases this proved to be a handi- cap to the team. Although the members of the team vei e able to garner many points, the lack of numbers stopped them from winning- several times. The first meet in which the upper division team participated was the Junior A. A. U. Championships held at the Turnverein Germania. The Tartars finished second only to the strong Turnverein team, and defeat- ed Los Angeles and several other teams. Only four men from Comp- ton entered the meet which makes their performances all the more remarkable. Eugene Hoopingarner, competing in his first meet, set a new A. A. U. record in the rope climb with the time of 6.6 seconds. Captain Williams, of the locals, placed high in the free exercise and is considered one of the finest in this line on the coast. Tom Bridges proved that he has a fine future on the long horse by placing up in the front ranks. Jack Warnack, the all-around man of the team, performed well enough in everything to enable him to carry off the medal for all-around performance. The next meet was with L. A. High School where the locals tri- umphed decisively over the visitors accounting for 78 points to the L. A. 38. Warnack again proved to be the outstanding man on the squad by garnering a total of 30 points; with a total of six first places. Even with only a few men the Compton team showed that the men composing this group were of the best on the coast. [198] The All Conference meet found the Tartars taking second position behind the strong L. A. J. C. artists. The Cubs with 22 men compared with the Compton 6 had too much strength, but even with these odds only barely eked out a victory over the Samarkand men. Warnack amazed the fans by doing a double front fly-away out of a giant swing on the horizontal bar. This is the only time this has been done on the coast in a meet and showed remarkable ability. Warnack again came through to take 35 points and 8 medals. Tom Bridges took second in the side horse and long horse and John Williams won the free exercise. Carl Pallas accounted for six medals to come up right behind Warnack while Kenny MacNamara and Johnny Didlake came up high in their special events. Every man on the squad performed nobly and came back with some medals and points to his credit. Several other meets had been scheduled at the time of writing, and the locals figured to win all of them. Their merit will be seen from the way they performed in the city championships. Jack Warnack led the scorers for th e season with a total of 114 points in three meets. All of these men have another year of competition and with the ma- terial that will come in next year, the Tartar gym team for ]934 should prove another winner. Coach Burton was assisted by Donald Jones as manager, and Jones was very helpful in his work for the team. Much credit goes to Coach Jimmie Burton for his untiring work. Compton is proud of Burton for his own record two years back as a student. Since the earthquake he has been somewhat handicapped in foregoing the use of the gym, but he was seen every afternoon out on the green working hard with all of the portable equipment that could be salvaged. [199] Lower Division Gym Team Lower Division Gymnastics W ' lTH ONE of the most powerful gym teams ever to represent Compton junior college, the lower division gymnasts swept through to an undefeated season of competition and climaxed their season ' s activities by being crowned Southern California dual cham- pions in a grand finale. Every team which the lower division gymnasts met was impres- sively turned away by overwhelming margins. In many cases the defeated teams were reputedly the best in their respective leagues, and represented such teams as Lincoln, Los Angeles, Franklin, Manual Arts, Fremont, Polytechnic, Washington, and the Southern California freshmen. Without an exception and to a man the team blended itself into a finely knit cooperative unit, and as the season progressed exhibited more real prowess and team work than any other team to represent Compton in some time. The team was coached by Jimmy Burton, former captain of the upper division championship gym teams and former world ' s record holder in the rope climb. Bob Armstrong captained the team and his work on the long horse and in the free exercise, combined with his tine attitude, resulted in his making an inspiring leader. Star performers on the team were John Blake, who was high point man for the year. His ability in the all-round events made him extremely valuable and at the end of the season he had compiled an impressive total of points to lead all competitors. Eugene Hoopingar- ner, in his first full year on the team, set a new all-time record for the rope climb in the National Junior Conference meet of (5.6 seconds. It is freely predicted by his coaches that Hoopingarner ill be near- ing world record time in another year or so of competition. On the long and side horse. Bridges, Gruner, and Herbold, performed well and accounted for many of their team ' s points. On the rings and parallel bars, Kees and VanDeist showed improvement in every meet and at the end of the year were giving outstanding performances. Brenneman and P ry competed in the free exerci.se, and Miller in the tumbling, to round out the team of championship performers. [200] GolF WITH the first two men consistently shooting around 80, the Compton junior college golf team went through a very successful season. Headed by Bob McGraw and Jess Van Wie as first and second men and who served in the capac- ity of co-captains, the golf team was one of the strongest to represent Compton in recent years. Following McGraw and Van Wie were Ken Spangler, Evan Williams, and Art Lott. The team was managed by Junius Kellam, golf enthusiast of long standing. The golfers climaxed a very successful practice season by trouncing the Manual Arts divot-diggers in their last prac- tice tilt. Matches were also played with Occidental college as jMt ' V well as the Compton junior college alumni golf team. Mj h ' ' —J! ' ' ' In their first conference match of the season Compton was ' defeated by the strong conference title contenders from Santa Monica by a score of 4-1. Jess Van Wie was the only winner of the day when he defeated his opponent with a ster- ling 78. McGraw lost to Hines of Santa Monica who shot a fine 71 as compared to McGraw ' s good 75. The Ventura match was a reversal of form for the Comp- ton divoters as they completely overwhelmed their opponents Jess Van Wie, Art Lott, Ken Spangler, and Evan Williams tu]-ned in victories for the maroon and grey, while McGraw had the only loss for Compton. Long Beach, conference champions, dominated every position in their match with Compton and walked o ff on the long end of a 5-0 score. The Compton boys played good golf but their best was not quite enough to measure up with the sterling play of the Long Beach boys. As this article is written matches with Pasadena, Glendale, and Los Angeles remain to be played. Victories are expected in the tussles with Pasadena and Glendale, while a defeat looms in the struggle with the powerful Los Angeles Cubs. T. by a score of 4-1. f 2011 AN ATHLETE On down through the crumbling ages You go — building, visioning — A massive strength that conquers Though cheers are gone.

Kline, I. Dean, R. Sneyd, G. McKenzie w omen s Sports UPPER division sports this year have seen many heavily waged battles, but the thirteenth year has so far always been on the winning end. The fourteenth year nearly captured the championship in hockey, but they were downed by the mighty class of ' 34. The J. C. class of ' 33 (above) stood second in hockey, fourth in basketball, and fourth in volleyball. They were restricted by the few who turned out for teams, but withstanding all obstacles, they credited themselves well. Lorene Groppe, Inez Dean, Gladys McKenzie, and Margaret Cooper have three teams to their credit, while Marjorie Kline has two, and Rosemary Sneyd and Grace Stockton have one first team. Archeva O ' Neal and Setsu Kiyumura are not pictured, but have three and two first team places respectively. They came, they saw, they conquered — thus the J. C. class of ' 34 came through victors in all the sports of the season. They placed first in basket- ball, volleyball, and hockey, an unusual achievement. They were greatly aided by the large group of candidates who turned out for practice, and from this crowd a final selection of teams was made. Many women won enough points to gain membership in the Women ' s Athletic Association. Ruby Butler, Jo Hofer, Vivian Fraedrich, Doris Couse, and Clara Johnson made three first teams; Katheryn Bowers, Gladys Olsen, Agnes Andersoji) and Helen Robb made two; Jane Roberts and Harriet Cooper made thi eHeajns also. v V M. Crozier, E. Olsten, D. Odette, R. Wallace A. Daniels, O. Hocker, D. Adams, M. Lautrup, G. Essuer, 0. Green, M. Palardy, D. Alleman w omen s Sports ON THIS page are pictured the lower division women who have been outstanding in sports this past year. Above is the twelfth grade class which made the records of third in basketball, third in volleyball, ■■ ■■■ and fourth in hockey. They were very much hampered by the lack of candidates for teams. These women will probably plan to attend the Junior College next year. Their year of playing together will be an asset not to be ignored. Margaret Lautrup, Elea- nor Olsten, Agnes Daniels, Ruth Wallace, and Opal Green made three teams each. Following close on the heels of the thirteenth year, the eleventh year class battled into second place. They won over the tw elfth in the lower division fight for suprem- acy. Second in basketball, second in volleyball, and third in hockey is the good record of the eleventh year whose picture appears at the bottom of the page. A large turnout for teams was an important factor in working up strong teams. This class has some excellent baseball players to its credit, and as baseball season had not started when the Dar-U-Gar went to press, they stand a good chance of showing the thirteenth year that they are not unbeatable. Golden Newcom, Eleanor Hundley, Doris Williams, Connie Gleason, Patricia Mulcahy and Ruth Bothwell have placed on three teams. K. Biithwell, C. Xcwcoiu E. Hundley, D. Williams, B. Kathrein, ( ' .

Dudley ALTHOUGH tennis had to be discontinued because the tennis courts . were being used for class buildings, those who had participated in a playday were granted tennis points. The lower division pictured at the bottom of the page has adopted the shorts suits seen below. They will be used in the future as the official costume of the lower divi- sion when they represent the school at playdays. The college team has as yet no set uniform, but they will undoubtedly decide on one for the next season. In the fall a general round robin tournament was played off. This was to sight new material for the spring tennis season. By next fall the courts will again be ready for use, and real practice should continue. At both of the playdays, teams in first and second singles and doubles were sent. Mrs. Neubauer ' s excellent coaching in this sport has made it a popular and profitable one. Practices were held on Tuesday and Thursday nights as were the other sports. Points were given for ' first teams in each class. First teams rated one hun- dred points, while the second teams were given fifty points. Next year the publicity for the sport will be greater and a number of out- side matches are expected to be played in conjunction with the work in playdays. V. MuUahy, B. Kiittcv E. Olsten, N. FiiRarty, M. Lautrup, E. Rassi, R. IBotlnvell, K. Wallace [ 206 J w omen s Sports WOMEN ' S sports are taking on more importance every year, it seems. The women take part in an annual physical education demonstration which includes drills, cor- rective, interpretive dancing, cl ' ogg dancing, folk dancing, games and various phases of the athletic department activities. A feature of next year ' s activity is a combining of the W. A. A. and the G. A. A. which will be in keeping with the 6-4-4 plan and the trend of the school. The Girls ' Athletic Federation of Southern California met at Glendale in April at the Herbert Hoover high school for a convention which proved to be enlightening in many respects. As a result of the earthquake the only girls ' sport to be discontinued was tennis. The girls quickly adapted themselves to archery and many have taken up bicycling. Bicycling has been accepted as one of the activities and already the girls have appeared in bright- colored shorts cycling to Houghton Park in Long Beach. Points are awarded as for other activities. Election of officers was held recently for next year. Vivian Fredricks was elected presi- dent. Other new officers are Doris Williams, vice president ; Jane Roberts and Margaret Lautrup, secretaries; Paith Bothwell and Elinor Huntly, recording secretaries: Elinor Olsten and Doris Couse, treasurers ; Agnes Anderson, parliamentarian. A new constitution has been drawn up in such a way that neither the W. A. A. nor the G. A. A. will lose any of their regular activities when they merge into one organization. The upper and lower division groups will send their own representatives to various conven- tions, and play days, but on the local campus the activities will be combined. [207] BOOK 5 LESSER COMPTON 7 e a ' ..- -A i i , y WHEN TARTARY TREMBLED ON THIS and the following live pages, representative scenes from the turbulent earthquake of March 10, 1933, are presented. Each pic- ture was carefully selected, so that only the most truly typical scenes of Compton junior college could be portrayed. Many of them, however, were difficult to obtain, and only through the experience and patience of Mr. Kenneth Howell of the physical science department, are these pictures presented. In the library scene, where the thrust of the auditorium wall is shown coming through into the library, an exposure of one minute was required before the necessary details were absorbed within the lens of the camera. On other pictures, exposures of from 25 to 45 seconds were necessary, so that details and characteristics could be printed. On careful observation one may notice many interesting things. In the library you will observe how the book shelf s were thrown over ; huge pieces of brick, still mortared together, thundered their way through library tables, and tables were tumbled and bowled over. In other pictures one may observe the bent rafters in the boys ' gymnasium, and may see how the mechanic arts shops looked after the quake had done its damage. One of the most technical pictures of the quake is observed where the huge roof, together with more than a ton of debris, collapsed over the principal exit to three of the mechanic shops. We believe each picture presented herein is self explanatory and only the careful observation of the reader can truly picture the scene as it was intended to be portrayed. The captions are merely a guide and we hope that what is contained within these next few pages you will tind inter- esting enough to evaluate as representative of Compton junior college in its post-quake days. By the same token, these pictures are all the more noteworthy since they so vividly contrast the beauty and state- liness of the Compton we once knew. ■ -i ■ i   - H] tStmm ifi KB MM Looking along north urcdde [210] Southeast coinef of machivr shops North entrance to main buihling 21 Looking north in lil)rary Thrust of auditorium wall in library PERHAPS no two views of the interior of the school are so interesting as those of the library pictured above. Located in the administration building, the library and adjacent rooms received the full force of the shocks and were entirely demol- ished. The scene at the left shows the length of the library as it looked the morn- ing after the quake, tables broken, debris spread over the entire floor, and books and book shelves ruined. The picture on the right required a full one-minute exposure before the picture could be taken and shows the thrust of the auditorium wall through the library side. On careful observation one may note the projection room at the extreme top of the picture.

For quite some time now the lads on the Shield staff have plunked their feet on their favorite desk and have dozed away the hours, now and then to be rudely awak- ened by the ringing of bells. That, in brief, is how your Tartar Shield news writer goes on the trail of a story. Always a colorful personal- ity, he leaves nothing un- turned — he will upset any- thing, even the desk upon which he sleeps. But the boys and girls of Compton got tired of their sleepy reporters during the first semester of this year and elected themselves a brand new feller for the job of editor. His name was Bob Muggsy McGraw, the big boss from up Alpha Sigma Chi way, who put the Shield on a paying basis, that is, paying the people to read his paper. After Muggsy ' s reign another of the Alpha Sigma Chi political bosses jumped into office. This time it was dapper Ed Coulter, whose ability as one of the outstanding Spanish athletes of his time stood him in good stead. The only foe to defeat him, however, during his tenure of office, was the earthquake, when dapper Ed lit out for the open country never to come back to his old haunts again. Other familiar characters occupying con- spicuous places on the Shield were Buttercup Ta- van, whose sweet person- ality landed him the job of editor after dapper Ed ran out; Winchell Mason, the funny little columnist who thought Winchell and Mclntyre, with a little im- provement, would rank up with himself as humorists, and Millie the Mill, garru- lous gossiper de luxe, whose Meeow was so catty that the playboys were afraid to sleep for fear their names would be un- covered in Millie ' s column. Just pretending to work! [218] Dar-U-Gar Betty cuts up with staff present ALTHOUGH the editors of the l - Dar-U-Gar estimated that the book would be issued sometime in early August, students, as well as editors, were equally surprised when the annual came out several months in advance and was ready for the boys and girls before the last day of school arrived. After this almost unbelievable feat the editors immediately retired to a private sanitarium where they will spend their few remaining years iii an atmosphere of pervading calm. In the choice of an editor, such qualifications as a strong, depend- able hand, an undentable person- ality, the natural ability to bluff through the last ten weeks of school (the last twenty, if neces- sary), and an iron constitution that will permit him to stay up nights and go days at a time without eating, are but a few of the many grueling tests for editorial candidacy. A completion of this test usually enables the editor to keep moving until the annual is in the hands of the students and when this is done the editor shuffles off into oblivion, still mut- tering Where ' s dat copy? Among staff members of whom there is none whomer, appear the glorified names of Prolific Hoyt, whose participles were known the school over; Chatty Fahs, who thought he knew a thing or two, and who showed his ability by gobbling up lots of copy; Posie Ullrich, who managed to translate her Spanish lessons in between pasting pic- tures; Maggie Magee, who un- dertook the large task of keeping the editor on the job; Honey Stockwell, who has the reputation of being the biggest loafer on the staff; Worthless Gault, who was always ready to write copy when asked; Aggie Anderson, who kept trying to insert pictures of the dancing class in the football section; the two Inglewood faults, Josie and Pug Marshall, who were the general flunkies around the office; Free Verse Tibby, whose poems we had to hear from morning to night ; and last but not least, or vice versa, Miss Fullen, the motherly soul of the staff, who even went so far as to call the staff , ,. . ,, ,. ,, ... members her cherubs.

The only two qual- ifications necessary to earn a place in the organization are (1) to be able to spell the word Mimirathen- ian, a job which requires endless days to perfect, (2) to be able to polish the old apple. Grades are not necessary, since if you can polish the app your grades are only a matter of routine. Among the more famous of the apple polishers in the royal society are Johnny DeHetre, who exhibited his prowess by getting Miss Marian Peter- son to make him sports editor of the Tartar Shield. Then there is Lucille Walton, who made polishing an art : and Ruth Bothwell, who developed it into a science. Such other names as Moreland, Shostrum, Wills, Hall, Swiestra, and Vian have also added their touch and finesse to the old system and when they go into upper division work will be fully equipped to continue their prac- tices. Alpha Gamma Sigma CONSUMING a large number of Spanish athletes (in case you don ' t know just what a Spanish athlete is. he is one who can throw the bull), Alpha Gamma Sigma, more familiarly called Alpha Gam, completed its first full sea- son of existence and graduated over twenty members, each one receiving the junior college certificate for first-rate apple polishing. To show just what a smart bunch of fellei-s are in the Alpha Gam the mem- bers decided that a plain every day word like Mimirathenian or Blateronian would not possibly do for an upper division honor society, so they have to resort to the Greek alpha- bet. The Alpha Gams even have a sense of humor as exemplified by gleamy Leeming, who, when the grades are issued, asks everybody how many courses they failed, and upon returning the com- pliment, the practical Leeming replies, Gee whiz, I failed one, I got a B plus and all the rest A ' s. Sunnintv I ' oi ' vitamin A [ 222 Student Body The boss 1 examples Dignity presei-ved AFTER all the pre-election mush had -been taken down and had been absorbed rather gullibly by all the boys and girls, and the student council of- ficially installed in office, did the real honest-to-goodness graft, vice, and cor- ruption in the student administration begin. It was Big Boss Prill who started the works and kept them well oiled with his crafty, sly political paw. It was the Big Boss who always got his cut on this and that appropriation. But it was not until the apex of his political career had been reached that the big, long, lean drink of water was curbed in his aspirations for undisputed suprem- acy. It seems that the Big Boss didn ' t want anybody on the council except a president, so he first tries to get rid of the Commissioner of Publications and make said office an appointive one. Then there was no use having a vice president because the dean of men ar- ranged the assemblies anyway. And what was the use of having a President of the Associated Women Students and a Commissioner of Social Activi- ties, didn ' t the dean of women arrange all those affairs? And since there was no money, why have a Commissioner of Forensics? In fact why have a council? Why not just let the president be the only member on the council ? This was all right. But the administration want- ed it not. So it was finally decided to have a council just to show the other schools that the students ruled at Compton anyway. Thus was the potent power of Prill swept aside. But in the long battle which ensued between Prill and his ad- herents and their opponents many exciting things happened. One instance : ye editor of ye schoole paper tells ye president to go to sunny Italy if he wants to be a dictator. And ye presi- dent yells back, Me? Go to Italy? And from that day on the war cry for the student council has been, not Dar- U-Gar, but megotoitaly. 22a J A ' ' ' -m Awful S g quartet Alpha Sigma Chi RCHIMEDES once said, Give me a place to stand and I will move the earth. And using this little bit of intellectual hodge-podge as a pattern, the boys of Alpha Sigma Chi said: Give me a paddle I. ■ ' ' - «A swat a pledge. Thus it may be seen at a ' ' jL t - - 1 glance that the boys liked their good clean fun and %ihjn - -w . J enjoyed nothing better than indulging in a bit of tt r JS playful skullduggery. At one time during the year the lads became so politically minded that they moved in and took over the journalism department, thereby insuring their standing as the most powerful fraternity on the campus. From McGraw to Coulter to Marshall was the famous political combination that hoisted the Alpha Sigma Chi banner on high, as it was the first time in fraternity history that the weekly journal, the Tartar Shield, and the annual publication, the Dar-U-Gar, were all edited by the same fraternity. Another of the infamous Greek boys was the mysterious Tartar Blight who infested fraternity meetings every Monday night. The boys called him Bob Wood- ward, and he earned his amazing popularity one night at meeting when he asked the boys to get active in school activities and join the Tartar Knights. Never before had the lads ever heard such a strange request come from a member and from then on the boy who was known as the Tartar Blight came to meetings, dreaming only of the land of the Blights. Alpha Sigma Chi also extended its hand into the racketeering game when beer came into effect, and they had their own beer commissioners to take charge of the wants of the members, Wild Bill Burnett, Fightin ' John Gault, More or Less Severtson, and Punch ' em Paul Higbey were the tough babies of the outfit and ran the racket in fine style. Each o ' dese guys had a tremendous capacity, and it was strongly rumored that Punch ' em Paul and Fightin ' John could smell one gallon corks without ill effects, while Wild Bill and More or Less took things easy up to a gallon and a half. Socially Looey Cramer and Sammy Bracht were right in the money, or at least that is what they told the lads when they were vice presidents of the student body, and nobody ever doubted them for who would doubt a vice presi- dent. Ptounding out the membership came Alpha (jam Roberson, Ace- High Vigg, Peg 0 ' My Heart Swit- zer, and Song Bird Glover, all fine guys. Innoconto aliioad Alpha Tau FOR THE first time in quite a few years the weekly journal met serious opposition on the campus in the form of the Alpha Tau gossip bureau. Although the Alpha Tau girlies have always been running competition to the Shield because they like to spill the news before it gets in the paper, it was not until this year that the girlie-wirlies really jumped into outstanding prominence. During one of the early season rush parties the All-Talkies almost reached a total of fifty pledges, so that gossip would be better than usual this year. And they were right. It was. The only two require- ments for membership into the order are (1) to be able to contri- bute one accepted gossip line in Millie the Mill ' s Meeow; (2) to be able to recite five good items about somebody else at ever.y other meet- ing. Without exception these re- quirements were more than ful- filled by incoming pledges and members as well. As everyone knows, Alpha Tau is the home of Millie the Mill, a first cousin of Minnie the Moocher. A typical Millie the Mill Meeow follows: Blondes for the week: Vaughn Soil, Wilmot Becker, Sydney Ram- saur, Frances Yorston . . . What ' s his we hear about Virginia Baum get- ting home in time to meet the milkman . . . Who were the two handsome young men Auralie Ullrich and Ida Langlois were with the other evening-tide . . .

Did you know that Mary Adams got scared because the Beta Phi ' s were coming to meet with the Alpha Tau ' s . . . that Luthera Thomas thinks the library is pretty nice, but only at certain times . . . and that Mimiram Firkins is seriously thinking of tak- ing up golf? Just a few members present [225] Beta Phi IT WAS once said that there was nothing in all this world that was so great or so upstanding as a Beta Phi. But the gentleman (or was he a gentleman) who made that remark was, of course, a Beta Phi. So it all goes to show, once again, that you can ' t believe everything you hear. Give a Beta Phi a yard and he ' ll set a new broad-jumping record. The derivation of the Greek words Beta and Phi comes from the old and orig- inal Latin forms: Beta, meaning Bull, and Phi, meaning thrower. Thus, literally translated. Beta Phi means Bull Thrower. In late years, however, an s has been added to the word thrower, making it plural instead of the obsolete singular. There- fore, in this modern age we find that the Beta Phi order consists of Bull Throwers or Spanish Athletes. The Beta Phi ' s are very easy to recognize. Even a very casual observer walk- ing through the halls or studying in the library can immediately spot one. They are identified by the loud mouth which is very handily utilized by the Beta Phi ' s. For instance, upon meeting with a group of lads, you might observe one of the members directing the conversation, and upon looking more closely you see that he is a very large drink of water. You will know this person to be Walter Prill, one of the big shots of the Beta Phi and who is consistent in his loud reports. Other Beta Phi ' s who once under way do very nicely are Pug Pugh, Debater Chamberlain, Samarkandy Mason, and Bobber Neilson. Someone once said that the Beta Phi ' s were the original Don Juans and that any Compton girl fortunate enough to have a date with a Beta Phi was a very, very, very lucky little girl indeed. But of course, it was also a Beta Phi who said that. The Bull Throwers never rushed anybody who did not show signs of becom- ing a big shot and just to show what bad judgment they had they took such insig- nificants as Wayne Henderson, Tomaso Turley, Larrv Tryon, Al Rowdv Dow, Terry Olin, Al Just Me Martell, Charles Gallaher, Wilbert Clark, Victorious Ken- gla, Clyde Bedtime Story, John Harpe, Merlin The Enchanter Newkirk, Gerald Green, Johnny Cook, Jack Malseed, and Elton Not Smith Brother Smith. Just Illinois in a chain gan c [ 226] Delta Kappa Phi T F ARISTOPHANES, the old Greek comedy X writer, had ever seen the Delta Kappa Phi ' s he would probably have been the great- est tragedian that ever lived, but as it was he had to content himself with comedy. The Delta Kappa Piefaces were very much politically-minded and ran their best bets for student body offices. Mary Louise Williams got herself elected Commissioner of Social Activities and from then on all the social events of the school took on a Delta Katty aspect. But at that they were not content with their lot and went even further to get Justine Strover elected president of the Associated Women Students and just to show the other sororities that they were not asleep slipped Rosemary Sneyd, formerly the sweet- heart of Alpha Sigma Chi, into the office of A. W. S. prexy for the second semester. These social offices made the Katty Piefaces quite popular when it was moonlight on the Delta. Although in recent years they have failed to maintain the pace they once set in collecting gossip which was better than somewhat, the Delta Kaps are now steadily climbing- back the ladder and are doing their share to run the Tartar Squeel a little competition. As far as numbers are concerned they do not rank as high as the All- Talkies, but in potentialities they are an even money bet to dig up choice comment. With Sneyd, Strover, and Williams leading the program the Delta Kaps have done big things. Since the earthquake, however, they have had to abandon their sorority house which was located on the front steps of the administration building. It was here, where the Delta ' s saw all, heard all, and told each other all about it. But now with their beloved sorority house lying idle the Delta Kap ' s have had to seek new grounds, whether it be in the library or parking lot. Princess Eugenia Little is another social spark in the machine and once she starts a fire other Delta Kaps like Kate Smith Hamby, Alma Powers, Babe Wil- liams, Lucy He Man, Betty Buttercup Mclntyre, Edna Stevens, and Betty Co-ed Snodgrass join in the conflagration. All in all they ' re a pretty good bunch of girls and annually provide the Greek societies a thrilling race with the Kappa Epsilons to see who will grab off the cellar position in scholarship rating. Delta Kaps posing on the park bench [227] Kappa Epsi AN ATHLETIC fraternity was organized Ion away back in 1929 in a local pool hall by a few billiard athletes. In the past the fraternity has been restricted to first string football men, but due to the scarcity of eligible first string men the fraternity was forced to lower its resti ' ictive barriers so it would include second, third and fourth string men, and also include athletes in other branches of sports, even going so far as to admit tennis players within the fold and left- handed baseball players, one of the rarer characteristics. Once in a while they will get a scholar like Morris Mack, but they are trying to live that down. In fact the good Mr. Mack left the only stain on the Kappa Epsilon record when he was elected to the royal order of Alpha Gams. Other members have never even tried to do such a thing and Mack was severely criticized for his actions. Even with their entrance requirements lowered to all branches of athletics the lads of the fraternity were still unable to pledge an appreciable number of men and for the second time were forced to lower their standards so as to include other lines of school activities. This they did by first grabbing in Eldon Hobbs and Don Limerick, wrestlers. You see, wrestling is not considered a sport. It ' s an art or science. If you can make agonizing looks or grimaces so as to scare half the audience out of their seats you are considered a first-rate wrestler. Then into another branch of dramatics did the lads go in search of members. This time they hunted in Miss Smith ' s dra- matics room and found Jimmy Walling making strange noises. They gobbled him up. Then over into the music room the boys searched and there they found Marvin Butler, blowing plaintive tunes on his saxophone; Leo Yeoman, singing with all his might and main; and Henry Kurtz, tuning up for his song without words. To insure their popularity on the campus the lads pledged theComp- ton speed burner, King Joe Fox, who spells his name with one x. Next ' ear he will probably spell it with two x ' s because then he will have piled up so many records and what- not on the athletic field that one x would not look dignified. Harvey Griflfith, Wind- field Scott, and John Dean, the financier, were the socially prominent lads, while Tomaso Jones was no slouch with the fem- inine element. [228] Sisma Delta Chi SIGMA DELTA CHI— just another social get-together for upper division girls who reserve Monday nights to take off the tedium of studying continuously six nights during the week. Sigma Delta Chi — just another group of girls who live up to that old saying: The three fastest means of communication are Telegraph, Telephone, and Tell-a-woman. Sigma Delta Chi — the Greek alphabet ' s contribution to Compton society. Although the Sigma Delts lack the publicity penchant of other Compton sororities, since they have no one on the Shield staff, the Meeow column (last with the worst) or the Dere-You-Go, they rate right up there with the other girls around the school. Under the leadership of Lucy Bell Fraser and Marian Bills the Sigma Delta accomplished big things during the year, such as holding a joint meeting with the Alpha Sigs and playing cards and dancing with that group of gentle- men. Then they had a slumber par- ty, so that the girls could catch up on the latest in styles for pajamas. Their big catch of the year was Dee Vee Archer, female financier who counted piles of money for the student store, and their biggest mistake was Evelyn Baby Crane, who continually acted under age at all meetings and who insisted on making goo-goo eyes at all the nice fraternity boys. The Sigma Delts dived into the realms of black magic and things allied when Virginia Kepner and Evelyn Larkey were taken into the fold. These two girls just had everyone in the aisles with their astounding tricks and at one fraternity meeting had all the lads guessing on how the tricks were done. The sorority just had to have a song bird so they dipped into the music patio and found Thelma Bagwell of the Phi Alphs there and she sang her way into the group. Eleanor Johnson was another of the wise members and her funny jokes kept everyone entertained. (Just ask Looey Cramer.) Boasting personality plus, Rosie-Posie Feree, Our Nell Masters, Betty White, Katherine Fallis, Merideth Howdy Dew, and Madge Hopper completed the membership of this neat little social society and once they acquire that knick-knack of publicity into their system it is predicted that nothing will stop them. Sigma Delts bask in the patio on deck chairs while the band plays The Gang ' s All Here [ 229] Delta Psi Epsilon AT ONE time the only Compton sorority which drew its members . from the women ' s athletic teams instead of from the usual circle of girls who showed promise of becoming socially popular. In this respect the Delta Psi Epsilons strongly resembled the Kappa Epsilon outfit among the fraternities. But, like its prototype, the Delta Psi ' s had to forego their customary selections and invade the territory of the other sororities. Away back in the early days of the sorority the Amazons were not interested in the social standings or how many boy friends a prospective pledge had, but on the other hand tried to find out how their prospects could throw a baseball and if they could tell the differ- ence between a hockey stick and a knitting needle. During those halcyon days the sorority was nine-tenths physical education majors. Now the number has steadily dwindled until it is a very rare thing indeed if a phys ed major gets in the group. This year radical changes were made in the sorority and they started doing things in a big way. First off the sorority was not con- tent with just grabbing off a few nice fraternity boys for boy friends but carried the thing too far when they invaded the inroads of Alpha Sigma Chi and snatched four gentlemen from that esteemed society. First it was Jerry Crebs who went after Bill Burnett; then Leila Anseen and Gwen Moreland got together and made it a double play by catching the Gault brothers, John and James respectively; and last but not least Rozella Cobb, had Paul Vigg going around in circles. From this very auspicious social beginning the Delta Psi Epsilons climbed higher and higher until they could play truth and conse- quences without blushing. No more do such incidents happen as when one boy had four fingers broken just holding hands with a Delta Psi. That ' s carrying a thing too far. But now it ' s a far diflferent story. Although a couple of the Amazons still manage to partake of sports like Lorene Groppe, who hits a mean tennis ball, and Ruth Geery, who now writes women ' s sports, most of the girls are really sen- sible and now and then en- joy an evening with their boy friends. Take Dorothy Faulker, Doris Turner, Ethel Perry, and Ellen Ueed for instance who are ((uiet and don ' t bother about anything so tire- some as athletics. the parkiiiff lol Sea, on [230] Faculty FOR THEIR inspiring work throughout the school year, for their untiring efforts in trying to pound into the heads of the numbskulls of our fair school the dusty and antiquated knowledge of centuries, for their unbounded interest in the students at large, and for their extreme fairness and simplicity of grading, we the annual staff of this here Dar-U-Gar sincerely dedicate this page to those unsung heroes of a fast-traveling age — our teachers. Some students suggested that we leave this page blank just for a joke on the teachers but we thought that wouldn ' t be very practical, so, instead, we are going to give credit where credit isn ' t due. After all that ' s the only fair thing to do. When you figure that teachers were always willing to raise your grade a notch if it was on the well-known border line and that they didn ' t even know what the curve was when it came to giving out grades, you can readily see that the faculty were really the students ' best palsy-walsies. Another interesting item which kept the popularity of our teachers at a high peak throughout the year was the interest of the lectures which the distinguished M. A. ' s and B. A. ' s put out. Take our good friend Gordon B. Oakeshott, f ' rinstance, the stuff he lectured about had the boys and girls in the aisles every lecture period, and they weren ' t going out either — they were sleeping. It ' s so nice to sleep to the soothing strains of a cooling, refreshing voice. And then there was Social Science Gillingham who had the boys ga-ga with interest in his lectures. George Knox Roth also had the lads and lassies floundering around after a fashion with his peppy fight talks in psychology and philosophy. Old English Austin also hung up a new all-time record, when for the fifth successive year she remained the only teacher at Compton junior college who could get upper division students to write poetry. Miss Grizzle managed to stagger through another hard year in the zoology lab to say nothing of the duck soup assignments she dished out to perspiring students. Leona Victrola Smith refused to let such a trifle as an earthquake disturb her dramatics department and handed the same old stuff to Tartar Shield reporters week after week. Daddy Kinzek again made life miserable for French students, while Miss Neil reaped her customary fortune on the say- ing, Silence is Golden. Eddie Comstock continued his annual diet of eating six cub reporters a year for failure to meet Tartar Shield deadlines. Miss Marian Peterson again controlled the policies of the weekly journal and talked herself hoarse telling newsreporters and would-be journalists just what a guide line was for. Slykous and Howel 1 ran neck and neck for popularity in the chemistry lab but were just barely nosed out by Strem, who, in turn, was taken by an eyelash by Petterson, who received one vote out of a possible 234 in a popularity contest sponsored by chemistry students. So you see what keen competition there is among the teachers to gain the good will of the students. Miss Gothard continued to hold the Indian cosign on her mathematics stu- dents and the jinxed students couldn ' t find what x equalled and gave up in despair. In conclusion, we say that the above items are but a very few of the many which made Compton faculty members so extremely popular during the year. [231] 232] 1 ' [ 233] Tartar Kniglits THE TARTAR KNIGHTS are that group which always remains a shining example of how up-and-coming gentlemen of the campus should act in times when there is something to be done. However, this loyal and faithful group have always managed to do their little acts of kindness when somebody is around to watch. It is these ' uns that have entirely obliterated the gate-crashers from our athletic contests by threat- ening to make them Tartar Knights, a threat that always has the desired effect. This group also takes tickets, supervises the crowds in the audi- torium, keeps the rowdy element at a minimum, and even moves stray furniture about the campus. The Knights do most of their work during the day and have greatly assisted the janitors with their work. Leading lights among the Knights have been flunkies Allen and Woodward, who, as presidents, do not have to do any of the work. Both lads were sincere and progressive in their direction and led this esteemed society to a new high peak in pop- ularity. The presidents were aided and abetted in their great ideal by such geniuses as Louis Cramer, Henry Hoyt, Bill Burnett, Clem Graves, Carl Ma.xwell, Bill Fahs, and Bob Holman. Lib rary IN THE spring of 1932 stark melodrama played a vital part in the exis- tence of what is known as the Silence Club, or Library . . . Riley, the Silent Sentinel of the check-out desk, was kidnapped by a ruthless band. No clues, no traces, no inkling of how, or when, or why he was taken could be found. Immediately the library became a house of turmoil — stu- dents began to talk aloud and hold gab-fests by the dozens; sometimes enterprising students went away with books without signing for them — all this because the faithful Riley was no more. A year passed and the situation became acute. So acute, in fact, that such characters as Mr. Slothower, Miss White, and Patty Baird were hired in an eft ' ort to calm the stu- dents and once more regain the solitude of the library. But all this was to no avail. Then, melodrama again played a pai ' t in the scheme of things. Houses creaked, build- ings shook, and old Samarkand trembled to its foundations, and as a result Riley once more found his way to his old stand. Silence came as quickly as it had gone. It was both a victory and a defeat — a victory for the libra- rians who liked their old-fashioned silence ; a defeat for the students who liked nothing bet- ter than to enjoy a nice old-fashioned talk in the library. [234] Honoraries COMPTON ' S scholastic extra-curricular activities are divided into two branches, honorary fraternities and just plain every- day clubs. To the casual observer one would surmise that only the intelligentsia would be members of the honorary fraternities, while the proletariat would belong to the clubs. Such, however, is not the case, although by a very lengthy stretch of the imagina- tion one might reach such a conclusion. To make the situation a bit more lucid we will say that about the only real difference between a club and an honorary is ingen- uity. You see this is how it goes. A group of students — we ' lfcall them physical science studes — get together and decide that what this school needs is a physical science club. So they, therefore, go about and form such a club. Well, after a few semesters — or less in some instances — the students will become rather efficient in apple polishing. You see the only reason a club is formed is to boost your grades a notch if possible. When you start a club your teacher automatically sees that you are interested in her course and figures that you really aren ' t a D student anyhow and that she must have you pegged wrong when you get that D. Well, sir, after you belong to the club a while you get an idea that an honorary fraternity would be quite the thing to bring that grade up another notch. So you call a meeting and draw up a con- stitution that says only students with grades of B or better are eligible for the fraternity and you then delve into the Greek alphabet and select two or three Greek symbols and there you have your fraternity. In the case of the physical science students they used Phi Gamma Chi. Now that you are in a fraternity your teacher can ' t give you any less than a B for a grade and then you ' re set for the rest of your good grades in that course. Now that we ' ve made ourselves perfectly clear, such frater- nities as Phi Gamma Chi, Rho Delta Epsilon, Delta Psi Epsilon, Phi Alpha, Delta Phi Sigma contain apple polishers de luxe. Take for example such characteristic yokels as Bill Burnett, Wallace Nyman, Bob Woodward, Pauline Berg, and Cliff ' ord Byerley, pres- idents respectively of the above organizations. None of these gentlemen ever have to study in the subjects of which they are heading the honorary groups. All they have to do is look serious once in a while, say a few words in class, and talk as if they had written a few books and they drag down a straigh t A for a grade, while presidents of such clubs as the Spanish, French, and German rate only B ' s for their efforts, while if they moved up into the honorary class they would drag down A ' s. Anyway, such is life. And, after all, it ' s only right that to the deserving should the spoils go. [235] Front row: J. Benson, W. Browning, F. Cayer, H. Leeming, A. Peak, S. Corford, R.

During and directly after the earthquake disaster, which left the school in a helpless condition, the custodians admirably lent their assis- tance in every way possible and helped to restore order quickly.

Mr. Chester Gilley holds the position of head janitor; Mr. Fred Sloman is head gardener; and Mr. Harold Chaf- fee is in charge of school transportation, while Mr. John Holman has the night watch. This department deserves special commendation for the satisfactory work which it has accomplished and it is certainly true that the admin- istration and students alike recognize the ability of the Compton cus- todians.

To Mr. Kenneth Howell of the physical science department for his willingness to take pictures for the annual at all times, I am greatly obliged, and to Dean Liggett and Carroll Lang who assist- ed him in this woi-k. Lastly to my staff who worked as a fine cooperative unit throughout the entire year and who really made possible the pub- lishing of this book, my sincere gratitude is expressed; to Mar- garet Tibby, whose verses appear throughout the annual, thanks are due; and to Miss Harriet Fullen, faculty adviser, for her inter- est and enthusiasm in guiding the work of the Dar-U-Gar, I am truly grateful.
