the D A R U CAR nineteen thirty five PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS O F T H E COMPTON JUNIOR COLLEGE. COMPTON CALIFORNIA I ' rinted by students under instruction at tlic Compton Junior College, Compton, Calif. E F A C E A pictorial review of student life has been made the central theme of this year ' s Dar-U-Gar. The staff feels that the ordinary routine of campus activities best depicts the year in retrospect. Compton s greatest achievements are recorded here, be they athletic, academic, social, or some other ph ase of student activity,- but we hope to convey the spirit, the mood, and the feeling of our campus by the numerous camera studies which are typical of the sections they represent. By informal campus studies an endeavour was made to picture the student as he lives. 1 his book obtains a unity of theme and purpose by making the student the prime factor of interest. Not our campus, not an historical event, or cultural series but junior college life as Compton youth knows it has been used as the means of obtaining coherence. In the still life studies a few objects typical and representative of the section following have been photographed in an endeavour to remind readers of that phase of their college careers. This book s purpose has been fulfilled if it has made the memory of the past year more vital and living to those who have been in this school. D E D C Since 1 924 Miss Mdrican Peterson has taught English and journal- ism in Compton. While a high school English instructor Miss Peterson was faculty director of the Lion s Roar and the Spectrum. With the advent of the Six-Four-Four plan she concentrated her efforts on journalism. As adviser of the Tartar Shield Miss Peterson has won many honors in inter-collegiate press competition and has maintained the paper at an unusually high level imparting invaluable knowledge of the mechanics and ethics of journalism. As a tribute to the outstanding services rendered the school to her immense popularity among the students to the honor she has brought Compton through the merit of the publications she has directed to the decade of work spent in training student journalists, we dedicate the 1935 Dar-U-Gar to Miss Marian Peterson. A T O N CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS ORGANIZAT IONS CAMPUS CLASSES N MEMORIAM The Dar-U-Gar dedicates this page as a memorial to James Stock, a former Tartar. Through his activities in the field of public speaking he became well known among Compton stu- dents and gathered about him many friends. With deep ap- preciation for his services to the school this page is devoted to the perpetuation of his memory. I SCHOOL HISTORY Compton Junior College history began in 1896, when plans were made to organize a secondary school. High school classes were first held in the gram- mar school building on Wilmington Street near Maine, where only two roonis were used the first year, and only two faculty members employed. The orig- inal high school building shown here was built in 1903 and was situated where the Home Economics building now stands. Mr. Thompson, present superintendent, assumed his position in 1916. Since then the student body has increased to 2200, and the 6-4-4 plan has been adopted. The school progressed until, before the earthquake of 1933, Compton had one of the best equipped schools and most beautiful grounds in the state. The disaster acted as a severe deterrent to the growth of the school, but plans were made for the construction of buildings to replace those which were destroyed. With the opening of thes; buildings, a new era of progress will be entered into by the junior college. A D M I N I S T R A r I o N FACULTY ADMINISTRATION O. SCOTT THOMPSON Oliver Scott Thompson, principal of Compton Junior College and superintendent of the Compton Secondary school district, has been in local school work since 1916. Mr. Thompson has been a strong advocate of the six-four- four plan and introduced it into the Secondary System when the Junior College was organized in 1927. Mr. Thompson was elected twice by the Southern California Junior College Conference to serve as president. He closed his second term in April, 193 5. I 14 PAUL E. MARTIN Paul E. Martin has just completed his first year as assis- tant principal, to which office he was pr omoted last Sep- tember. As registrar of the Tartar institution since its or- ganization in 1929, Mr. Martin has continually aided in faculty administration. His new position carries with it the duties of research and student guidance and brings him into even closer contact with the individual student ' s probleni than in other years. 15 Milton H.

Pete was an outstanding school figure and ath- lete and soon proved his executive ability. Af- ter he took office, he announced that Comp- ton hac the best school spirit of any institu- tion in the conference, and that it was his duty to preserve this attitude. The Annual Wel- come Dance in honor of the new students be- gan the social program of the campus. Home Coming Day was celebrated which was well attended and brought many illustrious alumni back to the school. The efficient and judicious student body control which was exercised in the council demonstrates this president ' s administrative ability. Under the impetus given by his enthusiasm, many new pep co- ordinating devices sprang up. The Tartarette drill team, the rally committee, and the Bache- lor Club ' s assemblies are foremost among these. The general rise in student body in- terest during this semester is perhaps the best measurement of Pete Zamperini ' s success as a student body president. ALL PRESIDENT 24 SPRING PRESIDENT 25 The overwhelming victory of Bill Fahs in tlie spring election was a fitting cli- max to his years of service to the school. In the fall of 193 3 Bill was elected editor of the Dar-U-Gar; how- ever, an injury necessitated his with- drawal from school. When he returned to the campus this fall he started build- ing up popularity that resulted in his presidential victory. He was also presi- dent of the Tartar Knights and held an office in Beta Phi. As srudent-body president he organized the A. M. S. This body staged the First Annual A. M. S. dance, and a Men ' s stag, which climaxed t h e annual in- tra-mural day. Circus perforniers, the music department, extemporaneous speakers, and entertainers from other junior colleges featured the assemblies, which rose to the highest level since the destruction of the auditorium. Fiis popularity and unusual administrative ability were the qualities characterizing Bill Fahs as student body president. S T U D E N C O U N C I The Student Council, composed of students who rep- resent various types of extra-curricular activity, act as the President ' s Cabinet. Helen Margaret Garner served in the position of vice-president during the fall semester and arranged several interesting assemblies. Virginia Hutchison, former President of the Tartar ' ettes and Y. W. C. A., was the Council ' s secretary ' Bob Holmes, first man com missioner of social activi ties, arranged social func- tions. The Annual Welcome Dance was especially success- ful. Orrin Matheny, Shield Editor, and Buford Stefflre, Editor of the Dar-U-Gar, directed the school paper and annual. Gertrude Esser, president of the A. W. S. presided over all women ' s activities. Kermit Anderson, a s yell king, rejuvinated Compton athletic spirit by coordinating campus en- thusiasm. Bill Kepley di- rected debate and Harvey Riggs was commissioner of finance. John Hann and Gene McCormick furthered the interests of the lower division and men students respectively. The second semester council was composed of Bob Mason, vice- president; Marian Hall, secretary; Ruth Sutherland, commissioner of social activities; Dorothy Adams, president of the A. W. S.; Joe Bunker, commissioner of forensics; Paul Sutherland, commissioner of finance; Orrin Matheny editor of the Tartar Shield; Buford Stefflre, commissioner of publications; Carl Anderson, conimissioner I J L) I ! of mens activities; John Hann, commissioner of lower division ■ HM M, A. . f COUNCIL activities; and Mr. Milton Andrew, dean or men. 27 ACT V E S PUBLICATIONS Having been selected by the student body to fill one of the most difficult offices, that of Commissioner of Pub- lications, Buford Stefflre found himself facing the task of producing the Dar-U-Gar as a culmination of his journalistic activities at the junior college. He did not lack experience for this task, however, having combined his social activities while in high school with a large amount of valuable groundwork in journalism. He served as a member of the Cathedral High annual and newspaper staff, tintermg Compcon, he joined Beta Phi, became a member of Alpha Gamma Sigma, scho- lastic honor group, put in three semesters as a member of the Tartar Shield reporting staff, and served as both feature editor and writer of the Samar Kandy column during his second semester. Stefflre is majoring in English and plans to continue this course at the Univer- sity of California. R-U-GAR EDITOR 30 TARTAR SHIELD EDITOR Orrin Matheny ' s journalistic career has been one of the most outstanding in tlie history of the school. Orrin attended the lower division here and was selected as an All-Bay League lineman for three years. Since entering the upper division his activities have been less athletic but equally outstanding. His first year on the Tartar Shield Matheny edited the sport page and won first place at the Southern California Junior College Press convention, thus gaining membership in Compton Al- pha. At the beginning of this year Orrin was elected editor of the Tartar Shield and was so successful in this position that he was re-elected in February. He debates and is a member of Phi Rho Pi. During the spring semester Orrin was elected publicity director of Beta Phi and vice president of the 14th year class. The improve- ment of an inexperienced staff under Orrin Matheny ' s guidance has been rapid and is a tribute to his journal- istic ability. 31 ASSISTANT EDITORS Fred Nuiin, associate editor, Tom Bridges, art editor, and Jerry Grossman, sports editor, were tlic tlirec Dar-U-Gar assistant editors whose responsibility was greatest. Fred Nunn aided Buford Stefflre in all phases of the book ' s publication and was especially helpful in photographic work. His ability and initia- tive were invaluable to the staff. Tom Bridges laid out the book and was in charge of all art work. Jerry Grossman, Tartar Shield sports editor, directed the sports section. 32 DAR-U-GAR STAFF Advisers: Miss Helen Ryan, art director; Mrs. Harriet Smith, dean of wo- men; and Mr. Edwin Comstock, print shop instructor. Staff members; Roy Herbold, art; Norma Fogarty, music; Nunzio Crisci, drama; Thehna Mays, file clerk; Cullen Gulko, feature; Beverly Seaman, organizations; Donald Dimbar, sports; James Drew, cartoons; Doris Couse, secretary; Harvey Lud- wig, administration; Lois Scheppele, women ' s sports; Virginia Marquardt, secretary; Carl Starkey, sports; Don Davis, photography; Harry Plant, con- test editor; Leta Davis, secretary; Orrin Matheny, advertising. The editor wishes to acknowledge the spirit, ability, and cooperation displayed by all the staff while the book was being published and to thank them here for their efforts. 33 SPRING TARTAR SHIELD STAFF The first semester Fred Nunn capably held the position of associate editor and wrote copy for the first page; Buford Stefflre took over the feature page, and Kermit Anderson reigned supreme over the sport page; Virginia Graves had charge of the back page, having as her assistant Clara Brummeler. Clarence Pearl was advertising manager and Roy Herbold exchange editor for the first semester. The news reporters were Marion Wilier, Dwight Eubank, Allen McDaniel and Joe Blancarte. Neil Hyta and Thelma Mays supplied feature copy, while writing for the sports section were Tom Collier, Verne Aiken, Jerry Grossman and Howard Pitman. 34 FALL TARTAR SHIELD STAFF The second semester saw many changes on the Tartar Shield staff. Dwight Eubank was promoted to the posi- tion of associate editor and edited the feature page. Jerry Grossman proved his worth as a sports editor, and Vir- ginia Graves still maintained her position as society editor. The news reporters included Marion Wilier, Joe Blancarte, Buford Steffire, Clarence Pearl and Fred Nunn. Under the tutelage of Eubanks on the feature page were Harvey Ludwig, Gail Trent, and CuUen Gulko. The sports page copy was turned in by Allen McDaniel, Bill Gill, Verne Aiken, Carl Starkey, John Anderson, and Roy Herbold. The society page had the services of the capable Carol Miller and Mavis Sauls. 35 PRINT SHOP The print shop, under the direction of Edwin Comstock and his assistant, Frank Engle, a graduate, trains future printers and plays an important part in the journalistic ex- perience of the staffs of student publications. All bills, pamphlets, and booklets are the work of this shop. In ad- dition the students print the Tartar Shield, Junior High News, Recreation News, the various annuals of the junior high schools in the district, and the Dar-U-Gar. Besides the invaluable training given to student printers, the print shop is also responsible for much of the success of the Tartar Shield and Dar-U-Gar in inter-collegiate competi- tions. All printing for the district is done in the print shop. 36 FINE ARTS ORCHESTRA The baton is raised. Alidor Joseph Belprez conducts the forty-eight piece orchestra through another successful school year. The organization furthered the success of Tartar assembhes and made school performances more enjoyable with orchestrations by popular composers and arrangements by the director. The largest undertaking of the year was the May Pageant at Santa Monica, where the orchestra, combined with the vocal groups of the Music Department, presented the most brilliant enterprise of the season. The work of Mr. Belprez with this fine group of accomplished musicians cannot be too highly praised. 38 AND Tlie band marches on! It is one of the most spirited or- ganizations on the campus, having given excellent support to the football teams and other functions on and off the campus. During the Pioneer Day celebration the band was awarded a special ribbon of commendation. The group was invited to the Bay League Concert where they played in a three hundred piece band before a large South- ern California audience. This group under the direction of Mr. Belprez deserves much credit. 39 A C A P P E L L A Mrs. Lundkvist, director. Numerous singing engagements in Compton and neighboring communities have been filled by the Acappella choir and have greatly added to the rep- utation of Compton Junior College. The nineteen thirty- five Acappella choir, which is one of the largest and finest in years, climaxed the season ' s achievements by participa- ting in an Acappella program at the University of Southern California that was broadcast over the NBC network. The combined Acappella choirs of five junior colleges under the noted direction of Mr. Smallman, famous Southern California Acappella director, made this program the mu- sical highlight of the year. 40 WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB MEN ' S GLEE CLUB Song is what makes the world go around and the Compton Glee Clubs are doing their best to keep the world spinning. Under Mrs. Lundkvist ' s direction the Glee Clubs have been learning a repertoire of songs. They have not been singing often away from school but have concentrated on learning how to sing in a Glee Club. The groups were part of the large chorus that sang for the Spring Pageant. 41 RING ENSEMBLE STRING TRIO entirely new group, under the direc- Being the most popular instrumental group on the campus, they if Mr. Belprez, has enterained at sever- have entertained on the average of two or three times a week at nquets and plays both on and off the service clubs in Los Angeles, Long Beach, Inglewood, Redondo, us, being well received at all times. and Compton.

There have been numer- ous girls singing groups in school but there has seldom been a girls ' quartet and never one to equal the Maids . There hasn ' t been a day since they were organized that they haven ' t had calls to sing. They all have at least one more year in school in which they should advance much. Mrs. Lundk- vists ' direction has contributed greatly to their success. Tartar Quartet: Howard Gilliam, first tenor; Ned CoUingridge, second tenor; Charles Thomas, baritone; and Nunzio Crisci bass. Acclaimed at the first of the semester as a harmonious and well- blended quartet, the men proceeded to improve rapidly. The quartet sang u every service club in the near vicinity and in neighboring towns. They made a successful radio appearance over KECA. The unfortunate leaving of school by Charles Thomas broke up the group. MELODY MAIDS MEN ' S QUARTETTE 43 A qiiarrer composed of Frances Comfort, first tenor, Karl Jef- ferson, second tenor, George Comfort, baritone and Sam Cummings, bass, has been an- nexing greater honors. Under the direction of Mrs. Lund- kvist the boys have developed an original and distinctive style of singing. Early this semester the popular singers, Beatrice Austin and Harold Keith, were added to the group and the Southern Singers came into be- ing. Harold and Beatrice sing solos with the quartet used as a humming background. The group filled a sponsored job over KNX for several months. Compton has heard the singers many times and has always applauded them with much en- thusiasm. SOUTHERN SINGERS QUARTET 44 CHRISTMAS PAGEANT Charles Thomas — Lord of the Manor; Jane Dickison — Lady of the Manor. Amidst the setting of an old English Castle, Ye Olde Welkin did ring, and Ye Wassail Bowl did flow. This year ' s Christmas program was the result of the combined efforts and talents of the drama, art, music, and phys- ical education departments. Customary dances and songs of the period were presented, Christmas carols were sung and the lord of the manor told the story of the birth of Jesus. The program ended with a picture of the Madonna holding the child Jesus. 45 SPRING PAGEANT SUMMONING OF THE NATIONS Beautifully staged and a professionally performed Baird, stage manager and director; Miss Ryan, pageant , said Fanchon and Marco. 3 50 C.

Miss Baird ' s high ideals and able guidance have earn ed an enviable place for the Players ' . FIRST, Betty Behave . Betty Behave represents the title, but Betty (Martha Herring) misbehaved by telling Jean- ette (Madlyn Holmes), that Ellen (Valerie Herron) was deaf. She said the same to Ellen about Jeanette and enjoyed their shoutings at each other. The girls discovered their error and repaid it by going to the theatre and leaving Betty weeping. SECOND, Light . It required an accident to July (Florence Osborne) to make Barker (Nunzio Crisci) agree to turn on the lights and give better wages. Doctor Blake (Harry Myers) and Johnson (Wilfred Sea- man) were suited to their parts. Mary Auld was good as a grief stricken mother. THIRD, In Dixon ' s Kitchen . The Dixon Family, Pa (Walt Mal- 47 onee), Ma (Norma Glcason), Jack (Billy June abused eldest sister made this one of the most out- Basford) would have Lem Lee (Bethany Rhoades) . standing plays ever given at Compton.

FOURTH, The Eld- son, Evelyn Mouck, Carlton Lloyd, and Fairy Lee est . Unusual acting by Annabelle Hansen as the Rinker, was perfect in all details. 48 STREETS OF NEW YORK Dramatis Personae: Captain Fairweather, Ed Olney; Gideon Bloodgood, Richard Wiezorelc; Badger, Fred Miller; Mark Livingstone, Wayne Becker; Lucy, Eleanor Kimmel; Paul, Paul Herbert; PufFy, Jimmie Drew; Dan Puffy, Jasper Daily; Mrs. Puffy, Ruth Sutherland; Mrs. Fairweather, Velma Hayter; Alida, Victoria Wolfskill; Gentlemen, Ted Hill and Howard Gilliam; Edwards, Harry Eddy; Duke of Calcavella, Harry Reading; Police- man, Jack Soden. Directed by Miss Leona Victoria Smith with special music between acts by Marjorie Richardson, Jane Nelson, Howard Gilliam, Hortense Shaheen, Velma Hayter, Mary Louise Schoen, Grace and Thomas Glass, and Fred Miller and Ned Collingridge, song leaders. Set in old New York during the panic of 1856 and presented with all the characteristics and mannerisms of drama of that day The Streets of New York proved to be as an- nounced, COLOSSAL, GIGANTIC, STUPENDOUS: A double performance on May 9 and 10 with a demanded 49 STREETS OF NEW YORK repeat on May ll packed them in the Little Theatre to more than capacity and caused the building to rock with laughter and applause. The leering villian, portrayed by Richard Wiezorek, was hissed and booed by the audience in typical melodramatic fashion. No one actor could def- initely be pointed out as having given the best performance for Becker, Olney, Wiezorek, Drew, Miller and Wolfskill were equally capable and only a shade better than the rest of the cast. A splendid evening ' s entertainment was topped by the oleo. The audience joined in group songs and was served refreshments. Between acts entertainment was fur- nished in the form of songs reminiscent of days long ago. 50 vox CLUB PLAYS Vox Club players climaxed their season ' s efforts by presenting four plays acclaimed as the best of the year. FIRST, Theme Song For The Married . Hilariously perfect was this curtain raiser. Guest artist, Mr. Higgins (Bruce Price) and Mrs. Higgins (Beatrice Terry) were excellent in their parts. Given (Florence Osborne) and Larry (William Drake) were a prospective married couple frightened at the thought of staying together until 1 1:00 o ' clock. Phil (Bob Tucker) would not keep them company but Lucy Elizabeth (Martha Herring) would and did until thrown out by Mrs. Higgins. The cast was well chosen and acted perfectly. SECOND, In the Darkness. Lizzie (Orvilla Haddock) noticing a change in Nath (Carlton Lloyd) thought that it denoted loss of love for her. She thought it was due to drink, but Nath ' s sister Bess (Norma Gleason) told lier this was impossible. In desperation Lizzie planned to run away with Arth (Lewis Lloyd.) Tragedy was averted by the discovery that Nath ' s actions were due to impending blindness. The emotional roles of 51 vox C L U PLAYS all characters were admirably portrayed. Orvilla and Carlton were exception- ally good. THIRD, Great Dark . Wives waiting tensely by a caved in mine to learn if their husbands had been killed or were safe. Orna (Mary Auld) had no kin but she suffered more than the waiting wives. This mys- tery was explained by Mrs. Garcia (Valerie Herron) who denounced Orna whom she said had stolen her husband. Mrs. Slunsky (Fredia Detwiller) , Mrs. Petrovich (Lucille Stockwell), Mrs. Ryan (Mary Mills), and Mrs. O ' Keefe (Norma Gleason) combined to make this the most beautiful and sympathetically acted play of the evening. FOURTH, Russian Salad . Once a man ate too much Russian Salad. He had a nightmare; resolved to eat no more salad and lived happily ever after. The Prince (Harry Myers) , The Red Ruin (Fredia Detwiller), and Snitz, the Terrible (Carlton Lloyd) were characters that could only be found in a nightmare. Jane (Berris Miller) complained of the dullness of life but George (Frank Bice) decided he had enough of excitement. 52 STAGE CREW Members are Jack Soden, Jack Bebout, Gordon Ander- son, Bob Ferdna, and die adviser, Mr. Flinspach. Plays go on, but widiout that worthy group known as the stage crew, productions would not he as coherent as they appear. The stage crew makes furniture if there is none, and changes the appearance of other objects. They change sets between scenes and do it so quickly that the audience hardly notices the wait. As the only experienced mem- ber was Jack Soden, the fellows deserve much credit for their work. 53 ARMISTICE DAY CONTEST The annual Armistice Day Speech contest, a competition limited to lower division suidents, called forth capable orators to vie for the fine prizes offered by Mr. Arleigh Kerr, local jeweler. After a careful analysis of each speech Mr. Leonard Nattkemper, judge, awarded a beautiful Bulova wrist watch as a prize to Margeret Heimann, whose talk was entitled, How America Finished. Jack Shepard was given second prize, a loving cup, for his effort, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Closely ranked behind the two winners were the other finalists, Frances McPherson, William Ritchey, and Carlton Lloyd. The event was under the capable guidance of Miss Leona Victoria Smith, drama instructor. 54 UPPER DIVISION DEBATE Coached by Dr. Franklin Sewell, the debate squad carried out a full program. Debaters were: Jack Beckhusen, Joe Bunker, Harry Eddy, Jay Hershey, Cliesley Isaacs, Charles Kent, William Kepley, Florence Kilpatrick, Orrin Math- eny, Kemp Niver, and Edward Olney. A non-decision de- bate was engaged in with Glendale junior college, and four similar contests were staged against Los Angeles junior col- lege. It was planned, at the time of publication, to take part in the Phi Rho Pi inter-college debate conference which was held at Los Angeles Junior College. A debate had also been arranged with St. Mary ' s College May 16. 55 EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING Coached by Miss Leona V. Smith, popular drama instructor, the finalists in the annual extemporaneous speech contest presented particularly interesting and pointed speeches this year. The event was judged by Compton ' s fav- orite arbiter, Mr. Leonard G. Nattkemper, and was a close contest to the final verdict. Prizes for the winners were donated by Mr. Arleigh Kerr, well-known Compton jeweler. First place in the finals was awarded Ed- ward Olney. He received a fine Bulova watch. For her feat of winning second place. Miss Johanne Lee was given an appropriately engraved loving cup. Third place winner was Wayne Becker. The other three finalisrs were Herman Bishop, Jack Beckhusen, and Jim Ruby. 56 A T H L E T FOOTBALL r sis M SUGGETT PINE PLAEHN JUNIOR COLLEGE COACHES Compton Junior College has one of the most efficient and successful gridiron boards of strategy in the conference. Headed by Er.rl Pine, athletic director, the up- per division football coaching bureau is possessed of the technical knowledge and personal popularity that makes their instruction largely responsible for Compton ' s success since its founding in this sport. Coach Pine joined the faculty in 1924 and since then has piloted several teams to league championships. Soon after the inau- guration of the si.x-four-four plan. Pine became the mentor of the upper division football squads and has enjoyed a great deal of success in conference circles. He has a knowledge of finer points of the game, the latest trends in strategy, as well as a personal contact with the athletes that greatly increases his worth as a coach and a moulder of character. Eddie Suggett assists Coach Pine and is the upper division backfield coach. Coach Suggett, while attending Whittier College, was mentioned on the mythical all-American squad and has since proved that his coaching abiltiy will make him as well known as his athletic a(jhievements. Al Plaehn, University of Southern California lineman, is line coach and because of his youth better under- stands how to get the most fight and work from his charges. 58 ' i 5JT?Sgr S SQUAD Under the leadership of Captain Pat Cox, varsity center, the junior college had a surprisingly disappointing season. Tabh;d by sports prognosticators to vie with Los Angeles for the conference championship, the Tartars started like potential winners but lost their last three games to finish midway in the standings. Captain Cox earned two letters in the lower division here where he played guard. Pat r I was first string center last season and at the football banquet was elected captain. This year his steady, dependable playing and calm, experienced judgment made him invaluable to the team both as captain and as center. Although not the spec- tacular type of player. Captain Cox was never erratic or off form. He always played at a consistently high level and made many friends on and off the football field by his equanimity of temper and fine personality. As always with junior col- lege teams much new material had to be assimilated into a half-formed squad. The coaching staff was unusually fortunate in imcovering thirteenth year players of the calibre of Carl Rahn, Jim Twombly, Paul Eaton, Dan Boone and Emmet St. Marie. A good nucleus remains for next year ' s team.

Garnichaud, Metzger, Rodriqiiez, St. Marie, and Bernardo provided the touchdowns while Tcsone, Miller, and Gordon added conversions. Passing and power accompanied the Pincmen to Long Beach to help them win the greatest game of the grid year, 12 to 0. Metzger rossrd a 3 5-yard pass to Rodriquez for the first touchdown. In the second half Twombly intercepted a pass in midfield. Boone and Garnichaud scored Cox, Austin, Hershey, Ellis, and Lum on the line played great defensive ball. Bernardo received a broken arm that kept him out for the season. The Tartprs crushed Pasadena 20 to 0. Colich and Roberts were the best men on the line while Eaton, Twombly, and Boone led the interference, and Te- sone and Metzger were the chief ground gainers. Although making 1 5 first downs to Glendale ' s 5, a powerful Tartar eleven was decisively trounced by a chanipionship Buccaneer team 14 to 13 on a rain-soaked field. In the second quarter Tesone kicked a field goal from a difficult angle to score the first points a Compton team has ever made in this manner. Po- desta, Austin, St. Marie, Eaton, and Twombly, shone on defensive while Metzger, Boone, and Tesone supplied the offensive power. L. A. J. C. broke the traditional jinx by defeating Compton 19 to 6. The loss of Te- sone hampered the Tartars and though Amos, St. Marie, and Lum played outstanding ball, Compton never approached its early season form. A fight- ing Santa Monica team defeated the Tartars 2 to 0. With Boone, Metzger, Ellis and Tesone out of the game Compton was greatly weakened. Twombly and Smith looked good for Compton, but a safety for the Beach city gave the Tartars their third defeat. 63 ACTION 64 v . m 65 M ' NAMARA H. SMITH P. FIRANZI  ' ? ' ■; SQUAD Coached by Herschel Smith, under the guidance of co-captains Pierce Firanzi and Bob McNamara, the lower division varsity went through a very unsuccessful season. With practically all new men on the squad Coach Smith contented himself with drilling in the fundamentals with an eye to next year. LOWER DIVISION Compton lost its opening game to San Pedro 20 to 12 as Jiggs Browning, with 50 seconds left to play, intercepted a pass and ran 101 yards to a touch- down in what proved to be the longest scoring jaunt of America ' s football season. The Pirates had a little too much power for the Tartars and with Art Metzger, brother of Compton ' s Cecil Metzger, and Fred Brand doing the ball packing, scored 13 points in the first half. In the second half Pedro was held to one touchdown. Compton ' s first touchdown came on a per- fectly executed pass from McNamara that was good for 57 yards. Bob McNamara, veteran quarterback of last year ' s team, and John Martin, end, were outstanding for the Tartars. Led by the brilliant playing of Sims, colored Samohi flash, the Vikings trampled a fighting Tartar eleven by a score of 20 to 0. After scoring twice in the first half, Santa Monica took advantage of a Con.pton fumble to ring up its final tally. McNamara and Firanzi, captains, played their usual brilliant ball. Unable to stop the giant Walt Neilson who baffled the Compton defense by his running and passing the 67 Howard Giesle Charles Fry Harry Meye 68 Bob McNamara Jack Shepard Bobby Edmonds iniglity Redondo champions rode roughshod over a murli inferior Coinpton team to the time of 3 2 to 0. The entire Compton team, facing the most powerful eleven in the league, fought furiously every minute of the game and by sheer determination prevented the Bay League Champions from roll- ing up a much larger score. Deceptiveness and speed were too much for the outweighed Compton team when Inglewood overwhelmed the Tartars 41 to 0, the worst setback of the season. Although Compton made many valiant efforts they were unable to produce a score. Led by Bob McNamara, quarter. Pierce Firanzi, tackle, and George Bourdon, end, they made a good showing against a much superior team. Completely overwhelmed by a superior Wilson attack, Compton dropped their final league encounter to a strong Bruin eleven by a score of 27 to 0. The Compton offense was bottled up all day and except for two runs by McNamara, was unable to make any substantial gains. Pierce Firanzi and Bob McNamara, in their last game for Compton, were on a par with any player on the field. 69 COACH HOLMES CAPTAIN MARONE The Compton middle- weight football team, Coached by Goldie Hol- mes and led by Al Mar- one was the scrappiest team in the Bay League. After losing two games the team did an about face and defeated their other league foes to end the season in the second- place position. Captain Marone was the outstand- ing man on the line. San- ders, and Arozena were other prominent men on the forward wall.. Two quarterbacks, Scott and Johnson along with Hyta, Kach and Sims formed a dangerous backfield com- bination. 70 ' B FOOTBALL BASKETBALL COACH MASON CAPTAIN DIXON Under the capable coaching of Kenneth Mike Mason, Compton Junior College won its first Western Conference and Southern California Basketball championship. The Tar- tars, previous to Mason ' s time, were never a serious threat for the title. Mason developed one of the strongest quintets ever seen in the Western division. Coach Mason ' s team was the last step in his climb to athletic fame at the local institution. Three years ago he had a near championship squad. This year he won the title only to have it taken away when an ineligible man was found in the Tartar line up. A diminutive forward Rex Dixon, captained the champions. He was an excellent shot and in some games led the scoring list besides being one of the outstanding floormen in the conference. 72 JUNIOR COLLEGE VARSITY LETTERMEN 73 Although hampered by lack of lettermen, Kenneth Mason was greeted by a wealth of material. Cap- tain Rex Dixon and four out-of-state men worked together to form the best basketball team ever to represent this institution. The first of this quartet was Carl Buttercup Anderson from Anderson, Indiana. He was selected on every recognized all- conference team and set a new western division scoring record. The second was Harold Remsen, also of Anderson, Indiana. Remsen made all- con- ference and was among the best guards in the league as well as being a dangerous man offen- sively. Henry Lyman, of Iowa, was the third all- conference man. Lyman, although he scored sel- S Q U A D dom, was undoubtedly the best defensive man in the league and consistently held the high scorers of other teams to low scores. The fourth of this quartet was Guy Kilgore, who spent a year with the S. C. Spartans and always was a threat offen- sively. As a result of having so much good material, Coach Mason also had a strong second squad. Davis, Hallen, Dunnigan, Krepas, and Dunbar proved to be a help to the squad throughout the season. The Tartar Reserve squad which played the preliminary games had as its mainstays Herron and Isaacs and lost only two games during the sea- son and those to the strong Los Angeles five. Al- though the Tartars swept through the season with 74 SEASON a loss of only one game and then went on to tiie Southern California title, they had to forfeit ht - cause of an ineligible man. Henry Lyman had al- ready competed in two years of Junior College and caused Compton to voluntarily forfeit all titles. The practice season gave a true indication of what was to be expected of the team in later games. After scoring two victories over southland teams they journeyed north to beat Taft and Ventura two games each. Continu- ing to win, Compton entered the league race with twelve straight vic- tories behind them and favorites to win the Western Division Con- ference. Meeting un- expected opposition in the first game Comp ton ' s Tartars won a thrilling 1 point victory over the Ventura Pirates in the last minute of play. After trailing the entire game, a one handed shot by Rex Dixon gave the Tartars a lead they never relinquished. Baskets in the closing minute of play 75 by Peterson and Anderson made the victory pos- sible. Remsen and Lyman, Compton guards held the Long Beach forwards almost scoreless while Anderson of Compton scored heavily. Continuing to win Compton downed Pasadena by a score of 25 to 21. E.xpert floor work and deadly shooting by the Tartars proved too much for the hard fight- mg Bulldogs. With Anderson and McNiel of Pas- adena waging a scoring duel, the strong second half finish of Compton was the undoing of the Bull- dogs. Butter Anderson pulled another game out of the fire with last minute points against the highly SEASON touted Glendale Biicanneers. The defensive game of Remsen and Lyman was an outstanding feature of the ganie. Meeting the strong Los Angeles five on tlie uptown court Compton ran true to form and defeated the Cubs 38 to 32. Playing a great game Captain Rex Dixon led his team mates to the fifth conference victory. Anderson was again the leading individual scorer. A small court and an in- spired team combined to hand Compton its only conference defeat of the year. Although this game marked the return of Guy Kilgore to the squad, the Tartars lost 36 to 38. With never more than a few points separating the two teams, Santa Monica made a basket in the last minute of play to give them the only victory of any conference team over the Tartars. Compton began the second round with an im- pressive victory over Ventura. Anderson, Remsen, and Lyman all turned in good games to definitely stamp them as players of all-conference quality. The next game, played on the Long Beach floor, gave Compton another game in the win column. Guy Kilgore and Rex Dixon did most of the scor- ing for Compton and too much power for the Vik- ings resulted in another lopsided victory for the Tartars. Glendale, greatly weakened by graduation, was the next victim of the powerful Tartars. Good consistent playing kept Compton in the lead and 76 the outcome of the game was never in doubt. Play- ing on the Compton floor, Los Angeles again went down in defeat before the Compton five. Playing a good game and scoring often Anderson proved himself the best man in the conference. Kilgore and Remsen also turned in remarkable perfor- mance. Meeting Santa Monica in the final game to decide the championship of the western division, Compton firmly established itself as the best team in the conference and handed Santa Monica a de- cided trouncing. Remsen and Anderson were the outstanding men on the floor and both played the type of basketball that is seldom seen in a Junior College Conference. Winding up the season as ACTION Western Division champs, the Tartars began to prepare for the Southern California Playoffs. Fullerton, Eastern Division champions fared no better than the teams before them. In the first game, Compton ran up a 20 to 6 half score and then allowed Fullerton to draw within two points of theni before the game ended. The second game resulted in a scoring bee for Compton. Anderson scored 20 points and Dixon and Kilgore both scored heavily to beat the Yellowjackets by a 3 5 to 17 score. Looking for more worlds to conquer, this great Compton team journeyed over eight-hundred miles to lose two heart breaking games to San Mateo Junior College. 77 COACHES POP POWARS ROD LEE G. HOLMES HIGH SCHOOL VARSITY BASKETBALL Undergoing a disappointing season, the lower division varsity suffered numerous one and two point setbacks which removed all champion- ship hopes in the early rounds of play. Dis- playing occasional flashes of brilliance, such capable men as co-captains Yorston and Mc- Namara, Elliot, Kirkland, and Knapp, were forced to bow to teams often of inferior cal- ibre. Supporting the regulars were Allen, Hodge, Smart, and Overbeck. 78 M ' NAMARA YORSTON EDMONDS ALLEN CHAVEZ JOHNSON M ARON E CAUDILLO 79 y II B CLASS CHAMPS JACK SCOTT The grand old man of the high school coach- ing staff turned out another championship team. Coach Frank Powars developed a fast, smooth working quintet that won the Bay League title and reached the semi-finals of the Southern Cal- ifornia play-offs. Powars established himself as one of the leading Bay League coaches with his second league championship in basketball in as many years. 80 Taking up where the 1934 championship squad left off, Coach Frank Powar ' s middleweight basketball team successfully defended the Bay League title. The baguc initiated tlie double round of play for tiie first time. The Tartar team started out slowly but developed rapidly in mid season to run up enough victories to carry off the title. After defeating almost every surround- ing high school the squad lost its first two league games to San Pedro and Santa Monica. With Scott and Chavez leading the scoring the t?am was able to win the remaining first round tilts. The middleweights defeated both San Pedro and Santa Monica in the first two games of the second round to lead the league. They ran wild in both games against Wilson to score more points than had been made on any Bruin five for three seasons. Redondo was prac- tically annihilated under the heavy barrage of points szored by the fast breaking guards, Caudillo and Morning. The Bees swamped Inglewood in both of their games with the Sentinels to cinch the championship. The same fate that has followed other Powar coached teams in the playoffs attached itself to this year ' s team. They ran wild in the first elimination contest to upset a supposedly strong Leusinger team, representing the Marine league. Instead of meeting an opponent in a week or two, the Middleweights were held up for nearly a month. When they were scheduled again it was against the South Pasadena quintet. Although playing their worst ball of the season du? to stale- ness they lost by only one point to the Bulldogs. Powar ' s second team, with the exception of Morning, played the majority of the game. The first team of Scott, Sims, Chavez, Morning and Caudillo worked the Powar system to perfection. All were dangerous shots and fast breaking floor men. Morning was the best defensive man in the league. Johnson, Collier, McGuire, Up- ton, and Marone were reserves who saw much action. Marone and Scott were the fastest men on the squad. Chavez was a deadeye under the basket and Morning and Caudillo formed another strong guard combination. The team was great and missed the Southern championship by a badly arranged schedule that gave them a chance to go stale. 81 C BASKETBALL LEE FLINK tmtt r 151: — 1 pHB iyiwtHflV 91 ShK With Goldie Holmes acting as coach, Comp- one point.

Coach Herschel Smith again turned out a strong, winning squad. Losing most of his champions from the 1934 title holders, Smith developed a team that broke records and was only toppled by Los Angeles junior college in two meets. Con- trary to custom, the Tartars picked two men, Cornelius Johnson, and Kemp Niver as cap- tains. Captain Johnson, after a glorious prac- tice season was declared ineligible by confer- ence officials due to a technical ruling. Cap- tain Niver was troubled by a muscle injury and was able to participate in only one dual meet. Had these men participated the team would have won every contest in jaysee circles. 84 I ' - lir l . . vvf ,i,W|. . w M ; C A R T H y M O U N D A y STALMACK PARKS 85 A team that could have been one of the greatest in the history of the school was denied Tartary. After conference officials and physical injuries had taken their toll there was a squad left still good enough to finish first in every duel and capture many honors. Had the 193 3 cinder team had its full strength in every contest it would have followed in th; championship reign of other Compton teams which have dominated the Western division and Southern conference. The Tartar horde swept through a heavily scheduled practice season and cli- tnaxed their non-conference victories by winning 86 the junior college even ' s of the San Diego relays. It was in this meet that Justin McCarthy, pole vaulting champ, started his most successful season by defeating Jack Rand, Far Western A. A. U. champion. The Tartars met their stiffest competition from a strongly balanced Cub team from Los Angeles in a triangular meet with Long Beach and Los Angeles at Stephens Field. It was Cornelius Johnson ' s day as the newly elected Tartar co-captain won the high jump and placed second in both dash events to garner eleven points and lead the local team to a brilliant victory. Compton scored 11 2-3 points, Los Angeles 72 1-3 and Long Beach 9. Seward Mounday, Tartar distance star, won bodi the mile and two mile race. This meet was by far the closest the Tartars had in dual meet com- petition and gave them the conference title. A few weeks later Johnson was declared ineligible and Compton had to forfeit the championship. The 3th2r conference contests were mere stepping stones to greater fame as the Tartars ran up tremendous scores. In another triangular meet, this time with Pasadena and Santa Monica the Compton team scored at will and came out on the long end of a Compton 94 points, Pasadena 46 points and Santa Monica 19 points score. Glendale, picked to upset the Tartars, was defeated in another barrage of points. A determined group of local athletes turned in outstanding performances in practically every event to score a lopsided 79 to 52 victory. But with the Glendale meet so ended the victory string of the conquering Tartar team. Riding high on the crest oi a wave of victories a Cub squad that had gained power in every meet turned the Western division fracas into a rout as it rolled up nearly 30 points more than the Compton team. But although the Tartars were defeated in team honors, they stole the mdividual glory. Seward Mounday started the re- cord breaking performance with a 4.27.4 mile to ec- lipse Pete Zamperinis ' year old mark. Justin Mc Carthy vaulted 13 feet 8 s inches to break the standard set by George Jefferson, former Compton 88 fer:sfi ?  ii«ps?e t: ' sraii.,.. : : f ?:?; athlete. Frank Parks won the discus throw and tlie relay team climaxed the Compton first place winnings with a near record time. As the all conference meet approached. Compton was picked to take another stinging defeat from the Los Angeles team. But the Cubs squad was lucky to eke out a two point victory over the local lads. Again the Tartars won more first places than any southland jaysee but did not have the men to back up the champions. Out- standing marks were made in all events. Four half milers, including Gill of Compton, broke the existing two lap record. Gill ' s time, his best during the long season, was 1 minute 58.7 seconds. Also sensational was the consistency ACTION of Earl Reed, high hurdler, to place in the hu.dle race. No matter how stiff the competition. Reed was good for a place. He climaxed his splendid run- ning with a fourth place in the Fresno Relays when he ran 1 5 seconds flat. Stalmack of Compton broke the Western division low hurdle mark with a 24.3 second record. He was also an outs:anding javelin thrower, getting off a number of tosses of 166 feet or better. In the pole vault the Tartars had many point winners. Leading the powerful group was Justin McCarthy, Western division and Southern California champion. McCarthy was consistent at 13 feet and many times did 13 feet and 6 inches. He reached his peak in the all conference, vaulting 13 feet and 8 3-8 inches. John Mettz, Dick Rod- riquez, and George Rogers were all 12 feet and 6 inch vaultars. Hurdles were plentiful on Coach Smith ' s squad. Joe Hawkins competed in both races and was clocked in 24 flat in the 220 hurdles and 15.6 in the high hurdles. Reed, Coster and Stal- mack were ot her outstanding barrier men. Dash men were scarce on this year ' s team. McNally was the best local hope and improved from one meet to another. By the end of the season he had such excellent times as 9.9 in the hundred and 22 flat in the furlong. James Jackson, negro ace, was a con- sistent at 10 seconds in the dash and a valuable man on the sprint relay team. Bob Holmes was outstand- 90 ing in both the 220 and quarter mile run. In the broadjump Terry Ross, Damon Skinner and Boyd Nichols carried the Compton colors. All had marks of 22 feet or better with Ross leading the trio. Frank Parks, conference champion, did not reach his best mark of last year but did throw the discus far enough to win every meet. Don Colich and Fred Rathbun placed in most dual meets. Only one Tartar had a good mark in the shot put. Cornelius Aus- tin looked like a champion in early season meets but due to illness fell down in the latter part of the year. Probably the most improved trackman of the year was Matlin Hoehn, quartermiler. He turned in a time of 49.5 and won several relays for the Compton quarter. Tom McNamara placed in every meet including the Southern California finals with his best time around 10 minutes and 10 seconds. Both Tartar captains were out for the season, Niver with injuries and Johnson as an ineligible. Johnson competed unattached and won both the Fresno Relays. The Tartars did the poorest of any time during an entire season and .still took second to the strong Sacramento squad. LOWER DIVISION VARSITY Ernest Hartmann completed his third year as track coach and had a successful season. Coach Hartmann is especially to be congratulated in that he is the only man in the Bay League to coach both varsity and weight teams. Tom Marineau was elected captain and put in his second year on the team. Marineau was a hurdle man this year. While not an outstand- ing performer, Marineau was dependable and worthy of the honor of captain. 92 L. D. VARSITY Winning four meets and Itising only two in Bay League competition, Compton completed tlic sea- son hy finisliing foiirtli in tlie Bay League finals. Tlic Tartars ' failure to finisli higher in tlic final standings was due to the fact that many of their outstanding men competed in B class for that meet. Compton started the season with dual meet Victor- ies over some of the strongest teanis in Southern California. South Gate, Montebello, and Gardena were defeated in rapid order by large scores. Starting in league competition, Comp- ton got off to a good start by defeating the strong Santa Monica team. Redondo was the next team to fail before the Tartars. Losing the next two to the strong Ingle- wood and Wilson teams, Compton came back to San Pedro b) ' a close score. The team was not composed of a large number of stars, but of good dependable men who could be counted on to do their best. The outstanding man on the team was Russel Huffine, Bay League high jump champion. Huffine spent his second year with the track squad and never failed to capture first place in any of the dual meets. At the time this was written Huffine had qualified for the Southern Cali- fornia meet and had an excellent chance to win. His mark of 6 feet and 3 1-2 inches is the best re- corded in the southland and local coaches expect him to win the meet as well as take the State title. The dashes were taken care of by Smart and Harris, class B men. Smart was consistently good for points in the dashes and had a mark of 10 flat in the hun- dred. Harris ran the 220 in the excellent tinie of 93 22.3 and lost very few races. Hodge and Ruby took care of the 440 and were valuable men. Bill Jones who lost only two races in the entire season and qualified for the Southern California meet, set a new school record of 2:02 in the 880. Compton had a trio of good milers this year; Smith set an- other school of 4:41 in the mile. Bice, who broke his foot in the middle of the season, and Collier usually finished in that order. The third school re- cord set by this team was made by Tommy Temple who valted 1 2 feet 3 inches, but was forced to drop out of school before any of the large meets. Smart and Walker did the broad jumping for the Tartars. Smart was consistent at 2 1 feet and Walker was usually over 20 feet. Compton placed Yorston in the finals of the Bay League shot put and Grok- enburger had several good marks. Austin, an elev- enth year man, threw the football over 180 feet to garner many points. Captain Tommy Marineau ran the high and low hurdles and while not an out- standing performer was always dependable. The relay team, composed of Smart, Harris, Amemiya, and Hodge, met with only fair success, but won its share of the races. Compton is especially to be con- gratulated on its victory over Santa Monica as it was the first time the Tartars defeated the Vikings in many years. Compton entered this meet decided underdogs, but outstanding performances by se- 94 veral members of th: team gitliered enough points to win the meet. Bice, Tartar miler, scored an up- set victory over the Vilcing man to start the Comp- ton team out on the right foot. The Redondo meet was next and was won by a large score. The absence of several men caused the team to lose a close meet to Inglewood. A strong Wilson team handed the Tartars their second straight defeat. The outstand- ing event of this meet was the 880 race between Green of Wilson and Jones of Compton. Green won the race by about a root in the excellent time of 2:02. Compton won the res: of its duil meets and finished the season with a fourth in the Bay League meet. 95 B AND V-i C CLASS TRACK TEAMS Although the Tartar middleweights were defeated in their dual meet season they had one of the strong- est Bee track squads ever to represent Compton High School. Most of the lightweight men com- pstsd in th: varsity division during the league sea- son and changed to the middleweight ranks for the Bay League and Sourhern California finals. No prsvious Bee team boasted of as many outstanding men as this year ' s team. Two Negro flashes. Smart and Harris, were two of the greatest sprinters in the southland. Smart broke the existing record by running the hundred yard dash in 10 seconds flat. Harris captured the 220 yard dash in the league finals. Frank Amemiya developed into an excellent hurdle man and captured the barrier race in the Bay League. His brother, George Amemiya, witii a litrle more experience shows promise of being a champion. Hutchison and McGuire gained many points in the pole vault. The relay team was defeat- ed but once and then won over the Santa Monica team to even the count. The middleweights have tremendous power in all events and are favorites to capture the Southern California championship. 96 BASEBALL COACH SUGGETT GENE M ' CORMICK Compton ' s great baseball team this year owed a Captain Gene McCormick held the respect and ad- large measure of its success to Coach Ed Suggett, miration of his teammates not only because he is who piloted it through a long string of impressive one of the greatest shortstops that ever played for victories. Suggett ' s influence over the players was this institution, but because of his inspiring leader- well shown in the record made by the Tartar team. ship on the field. JUNIOR COLLEGE BASEBALL SQUAD f 1 3 1 1 1 98 193 5 proved to be the best baseball season since 193 3 and one of the best in the history of Comp- ton. Led by Captain Gene McConnick, sensational siiortstop, the Tartars waded through a heavy [iractice schedule and the first four conference tilts, suffering only four defeats (none from conference opponents) against twelve victories. In the first con- ference game Ventura was the victim of the ram- paging Tartars. Ben Schoiiboc, Compton pitcher, shut out the Ventura team, allowing but two hits and striking out 12, while his teammates garnered 16 hits to score seven runs. The second game with Pasadena was more of a rout than the first. When the nine innings were over, the score read: Compton, 18 hits and fourteen runs; Pasadena, three hits and one run. Schouboe also pitched the Tartars to victory in this game. Although the team functioned well, they had yet to reach their best form, for in the next game the Tartars went on an unprecedented scoring spree by walloping Glen- dale 18 to 2. Schouboe continued his sensational pitching in setting down the Buccaneers. Compton got 11 hits off the offerings of the Glendale pitcher. f. 4r ' ' 99 In the crucial game of the season. Compton won the game with L. A. to decide the conference leadship. Neither team had lost a game and both had deci- sively trounced every opponent. When these two evenly matched teams met, the result was a bitterly fought battle with both teams in trouble several times during the hectic game. Compton ' s strength proved too much for L. A. and the Tartars came home with the scalps of the Cubs hanging to their belts. Led by Ben Schouboe and Carl Hallen, in- dividual stars for the day, the Tartars pounded out a 7 to 3 decision over the Vermont Avenue school. The Tartars had little trouble in taking the meas- ure of the Santa Monica nine — 5 to 0. Long Beach lost to Compton 8 to 0, Schouboe holding the highly touted Beach City to two bingles, giv- ing the Compton Junior College another Metro- politan Conference Championship and again es- tablished Coach Suggett as one of the most out- standing coaches in the Conference. Fullerton, winner of the Western Conference, journeyed to the Tartar field and won the Southern California title by defeating the Tartars 4 to 1 after the Sug- gettmen had held a 1-run margin until the eighth, when Compton errors and three hits enabled Fullerton to score 4 runs. Compton made 7 errors. CAPT. M ' NAMARA HIGH - - ms BASE BALL Coach Frank Pop Powars had a few veterans and a squad of young players at the first of the season which he welded into a smoothly clicking machine that finished second from the top. The interest he took in the team and the high regard in which the players held him proves the popularity and ability of this mentor. Captain Bob McNamara fulfilled all the duties that are expected of a captain. He pitched his team to five victories and one defeat as well as being a leading hitter. The success of the team was largely dependent on the brilliant pitching and spectacular batting of their leader. 101 The lower division baseball team had one of the most succe ssful seasons in several years. The Tar- tars won five games and lost a thriller to Redondo four to three for the league championship. The first conference game against San Pedro ended six to two in favor of the Tartars. Bob McNamara pitched the locals to victory and was never in dan- ger. In the second game the Tartars ran into quite a bit of trouble against the Santa Monica Corsairs finally winning after a hard game. The game with Redondo to decide the championship found the Tartars on the short end of the score in the hard- est game of the season. Redondo had previously beaten the Jaysee varsity so were heavy favorites. However, the Tartars put up a hard but losing bat- tle and finally succumbed to the Seahawks ' on- slaught. The next victim was Inglewood who fell before the Tartar bats. What was supposed to be a close game quickly tur ned into a rout as Compton collected eleven runs while the Sentinels got four. In the last game of the season Compton defeated Woodrow Wilson 7 to to complete a successful season. Had it not been for errors at crucial mo- ments in the Redondo game, Compton might have been winners in the Bay League. Prospects for next year look much better. Illli MINOR SPORTS TENNIS Due to the fact that most of the lettermen from the flashy tennis team of last year were gone, this year ' s squad did not fare so well los- ing their first three conference matches. Against Ventura the locals were overwhelmed by a score of 23 to 0. The next match they dropped a close decision to Glendale and then were swamped by a championship bound Pasa- dena squad. The contest for the places on the team was hot with Bob Mason and Jim Ruby fighting it out for first singles. At the begin- ning of the season Ruby was number one man. Finally Mason won the first position after a spirited contest. The other singles players are Brownell, number three and Fisher, number four. However no position was secure and with the men so evenly matched the positions were continually being changed. The doubles com- binations were composed of Bond and Meach- an, first doubles, and Olson and Colter, sec- ond doubles. With three matches left on the schedule the Tartars will attempt to break in- to the win column, although they are not con- ceded much chance against the other schools who generally have powerful tennis teams. The team was coached by Gordon B. Oake- shott, Compton junior college geology teach- er. The manager was Paul Albert. 104 D TENNIS Greeted by only three returning lettermen with wliicli to form a nucleus for liis team, coach AI Smith foimd difficulty in putting a winning com- bination on the courts. However, the team enjoyed a fairly successful practice season and is doing bet- ter than last year ' s team in the Bay league matches played so far. In Co-Captain Lennert Svensen, the top ranking singles player. Smith had one of the steadiest play- ers that this school has .-.-..ii........ graduation, Kenneth Lossing. Kenny, although not rated as steady as Svensen, was nevertheless ranked a strong second to him and won a majority of his non-league matches. He has been very successful in league matches. The remainder of the players on the team who made letters were Jack Lindsay, Bert Freer, Eugene McDaniel, Albert Stephensen, Walt Davis, and Leslie Rich. Roy Herbold, of last year ' s team, along with Jim Lane assisted Smith in coaching the team. seen in the last few years. Lennert had seen plenty of tournament experience before start- ing to play for the division this year, and this experience com- bined with his steadi- ness made him a feared player in all his matches. Svensen will be graduated from high school at the end of the current season and his services will not be had next year when the call is made for players. Sharing the captaincy with Svensen was another senior who will be lost through J «a,% e) 105 JUNIOR COLLEGE VARSITY CREW After an entire semester ' s effort on the part of Pete Pedersen and Marlin Edgel the first Tartar crew took to the water in the Long Beach Marine Stadium to inaugurate a new sport for Compton. More than fifty responded to the call and for some time worked under extreme hardships because the school did not officially recognize the sport. Practice was held three afternoons a week and Saturday and Sunday mornings, with all men out fur- nishing their own transportation and minor equipment until later given the use of a school bus. After nearly two months of diligent trains ing under the eye of Coach Pete Archer a Var- sity crew was selected which was scheduled to race Long Beach jaysee and a boat from the U S S Tennessee on April 20. The Tartar eight battled valiantly for 1500 meters and took second to the more experienced sailor crew. They were successful, nevertheless, in beating their Viking rivals by about a length and a half. The crew participating then was 106 T the same as that listed below with the exception of John McDonald, who pulled No. 7 in place of Lindsay. On May 4 the crew was un- expectedly entered in another race to take place in the Cerritos channel at Terminal Is- land. In this race of approximately one mile they once again faced the Vikings and decis- ively beat them by more than two lengths, but were in turn beaten by a mixed crew of varsity and frosh from U. C. L. A. This victory over Long Beach apparently gave Compton a myth- ical Southern California jaysee rowing champ- ionship. On May 18 the crewmen were amply rewarded for ptilling a beautiful race when they threw their cox ' n in the water for the first time which in rowing circles is traditionally UPPER DIVISION CREW significant of a victory. In this race they deci- sively beat Long Beach for the third time and increased their margin of victory to 6 lengths. Tryouts to see who would row in the National Intercollegiates were scheduled for May 2 5 and the Tartar eight was conceded a good chance. Two other races were also scheduled. The Long Beach Rowing club selected four oarsmen, Nunn, Geisel, Lindsay, and Keane, as well as Vreeland, cox ' n to row at the San Diego World Exposition July 4. The varsity boat: Bow, Ted Keane; No. 2, Milton Pinana; No. 3, Don Davis; No.4, Fred Nunn; No.5, Bob Griffith; No. 6, Chesley Isaacs; No. 7, Warren Lindsay; stroke, Capt. Leonard Geisel; coxswain, H. Vreeland; Coach, Pete Archer. 107 £t ' i i|l= JUNIOR COLLEGE J AY VEE CREW After the varsity crew had been selected, there re- mained still a great many good crewmen who were promptly organized into a jaysee boat. Not as good IS the No. 1 boat they were, nevertheless, a pretty Fair crew compared to their rivals from Long Beach jayvee. Their first race was also held on April 20 and had but one competitor, the Viking jayvee. Following one organized practice they started their 1500 meter race piloted by cox ' n Chuck Brenne- men. It was nip and tuck all the way, neither boat having more than half a length advantage at any one time. Using the fastest stroke employed by any of the 17 other boats in the regatta the Tartar group missed their timing in the closing stages of the race to lose by 1-5 of a second. More races are scheduled.

The group took to the shells like seasoned men and undoubtedly will produce some excellent oarsmen for college crews. It turned out to be a battle of cox ' ns more or less as five of them were attempting to get one seat. Mays and Ander- son alternated as regulars. The spunky eight met disaster in their first race. First they did not have Kehl to stroke them, and second, on the third stroke of their race against the Wilson and Poly lights the stroke ' s seat broke ulcd.

Z W y ' ' M.r- ' : TEAM Compton ' s gym team lias been in the past among the most feared in the conference. In the last two years, however, this minor sport suffered great- ly from lack of general student body interest and the squads have become smaller, though equally well trained. Gymnastics is the one sport that is not dependent upon divisions but draws its mem- bers from both the upper and lower grades. Be- cause of this it is a great unifying factor in a four year junior college plan as in Compton. The barriers of class are broken down and gymnastic ability merits the same consideration no matter where it is found. This year Coach Fox drew mainly from inexperienced performers but had a few returning men, among whom were Avry Go- mez, Johnny Didlake, and Harry Vreeland. Al- though engaging in a very few meets the gym team had great competition within itself. A great 110 GYM MEN IN ACTION step in furthering interest in gym was taken when the squad gave an exhibi- tion at the A. M. S. Stag. Rope climbing, free ex- ercise, rings, and parallel bars were the events dem- onstrated at this perform- ance. With the added impetus given by this re- vival of interest Coach Fox hopes that Compton gym teams will soon re- gain their lost prestige in junior college circles. 111 : JUNIOR ■ COLLEGE CROSS J COUNTRY The Upper Division Cross Country team boasted one of the best squads in history. Each member of the team is a star in individual track events. Cap- tain Eldridge Rice, star of the team, is Western Conference two-mile champion and record holder; Pete Zamperini is 1934 mile champion; Seward Mounday recently broke the conference mile rec- ord. Bill Gill ran the half mile and was one of the fastest in the conference. Kenneth Yates was a star two-miler for Compton and now is a consis- tent runner on University of Southern California varsity. Tom McNamara won several two mile races this year, while Irving Isoin, Dick Hollingsworth, and Orrin Wright were all fast distance runners. This glittering array of distance runners swept through all opposition without a defeat to mar their record. In the Western Conference final Compton set an all time low score of 22 points, more than half their nearest competitor, taking the cham- pionship with ridiculous ease. Eldridge Rice led the parade of Tartars down the back stretch taking first. Seward Mounday came through for a second while Pete Zamperini finished third. Tom McNam- ara, lanky Tartar, finished fifth a short distance be- hind the leaders. Kenneth Yates and Bill Gill tied for eighth position, to place six local men among the first ten. Isom, Hollingsworth and Wright finished with the leaders and did not total many points. It 112 U. D. CROSS COUNTRY a certain point winner. The team was coached by Herschel Smith, upper division track mentor. This is very unhkely that Compton w.ll ever he represent ' Compton ' s third consecutive cross country cham- ed by such a team as this. Practically every mem- ber of the team is graduating or transferring to some University to continue his athletic career. In addition to Kenneth Yates, Pete Zamperini is also representing the University of Southern Cali- fornia in the capacity of a mile runner and has made many points for the Trojans. Eldridge Rice is com- peting for Fresno State College and is considered one of the best distance runners that ever attend- ed the Raisin City institu- tion. The other members of the team may enter these two schools. A trag- ic misfortune happened to one of the members of this team. As the result of an automobile accident Irving Isom had one of his legs amputated. This was a blow to the Tartars as Isom was one of the most promising runners in the Southland and his presence will be missed a great deal because he was pionship and makes this school the permanent pos- sessors of the conference trophy. 113 CROSS COUNTRY Coach Earnest Hartmann ' s lower division cross country team had a fairly successful season this year by placing two men high in the Southern Calif- ornia finals. Coach Hartmann ' s ace leather lungers, Elmer Smith and Lawrie Pierce were two of the best among prep school cross country men in Southern California. Smith took second at the finals of the 1500 class at the University of Southern California at Los Angeles while Pierce took fourth in the same meet. Compton also won many practice meets in preparation for the big race at U. C. L. A. The team was composed of Elmer Smith, Laurie Pierce, John Busby, Tom Marineau, Melvin Collier, Eu- gene Wyatt, Robert Barfield, and Lois Finn. Leroy Phelan managed the team. Prospects for a team next year are very bright and under the excellent instruction of Coach Hartmann the candidates will delevop rapidly. 114 G O Captained by John MacBoyle, the Tartar golf team so far has liad a fairly successful season. At this writ- ing the divot diggers have defeated Ventura and lost to Pasadena and Glendale. Through arrangements with the Long Beach Munincipal golf course, they have practiced there, but they were hampered by distance and did not have a chance to practice regularly. The team was composed of Captain MacBoyle, number one man; Harold Remsen, number two; Gordon Stanfield, number three; Carl Anderson, number four; and Art Hill, num- ber five. Orrin Matheny, Art Mora- les and Amos Berry composed the remainder of the squad. The team at its best had several low score shoot- ers, but, in nearly every match, the Tartars were either off form or the breaks went against them and they shot much higher scores than usual. Although C ompton was defeated decisively by Pasadena and Glendale they may finish the season with a better than average record. Every year these two schools have a powerful mashie wielding squad and this year have ridden roughshod over their opponents. Compton will be the under dogs in the rest of its matches but if everything goes right they have an even chance of up- setting their opponents. Prospects next year for a successful season are not too great due to the fact that most of the team will be leaving; however more promising material may enroll and a championship team result. 115 After a laps e of several years, wrestling was again started at Compton as an intra-mural sport. Under the tutelage of Jack Doc Bello- mo and Meredith Simkins wrestling aspirants were taught the rudiments of the sport. As a culmination of several weeks of activity a tour- nament was held, the winners of which were presented with medals donated by the school. Medal winners: Heavyweights, Meredith Sim- kins and Newell Grover; 165 pounds, Robert Scanlin and Robert Squibb; 145 pounds. Bob Perkins and Glenn Peterson; 135 pounds, Iki Murashami and Robert Frasier. Although the squad was hampered this year by a lack of suit- JUNIOR COLLEGE WRESTLING TEAM able equipment, it is expected that next year Compton will have one of the finest gymna- siums in local jaysee circles. Every facility pro- curable will be here for the development and convenience of the team. This year the squad competed only among themselves, giving pro- grams in the men ' s gym featuring the finalists of the tournament. Next year, how- ever, it is hoped that the team will have pro- gressed to a point where they can engage other Southern California jaysees in matches, per- haps garnering a championship in the recently revived sport. The team is at present under the supervision of Coach Fox. 116 WOMEN ' S SPORTS m COACHES The Women ' s Physical Education department is headed by Mrs. Florence Neubauer, who is also adviser of tennis and the Tartarettes, and Mrs. Edith Eales, W. A. A. adviser, who has charge of the several sports. Miss Alvirda Rutherford coaches various sports, is adviser of the C club, and is also director of the beginners ' dancing class. An intense interest in ath- letics is stimulated by an excellen t coaching staff. Not only have the three coaches produced many fine teams but they have also inspired good sportsmanship and fair play. A very effective rotation system has been adopted by the Compton Junior College coaches. This system provides that each coach be in charge of a team during one season and the fol- lowing season assume a team from some other grade. 118 W. A. A.

The W. A. A. Council is one of the most active groups in women ' s sports. It is in this council that all of the actual business of the organization is carried on. A business meeting in the form of a supper is held once a month. These suppers are held at the homes of girls on the council. ' C CLUB m, fw, MM Members: M. Calvert, president (1) (2) ; C. Blass, J.

Williams, and J. Wilson. Alverda M. Rutherford, adviser. The C Club is composed of girls who have earned letters for W. A. A. activities. It is almost entirely a social organi- zation. The first meeting of the year was in the form of a Chinese dinner at the home of Miss Rutherford, C club adviser. At this meeting all new members were invited. The so- cial function of February was a horseback riding party, and in May the members enjoyed a skating party. At this time the second semester candidates were initiated. May 24 the C club sponsored a playday for senior girls of the five junior high schools. They provided all officials, and relays, sports, and social entertainment was afforded the guests. The object of the playday was to interest the girls who will be entering Compton in September in W. A. A. activities and give them an opportunity to meet other girls. 120 BASKETBALL Basketball, being the first sport of the school year, has long been the most popular. The inter-class championship was captured this year by the fourteenth year at the end of a round robin schedule. This same system of rotating competition is used in all sports. At the end of basketball season a party is given for the members of all the teams at which time new members received their formal initiation. 121 VOLLEY BALL Volley ball was previously considered a minor sport in wo- men ' s athletic competition. It is constantly increasing in popularity and this year more girls than ever before com- peted. Inter-class competition is arranged with off-campus officials generally secured from the women ' s physical educa- tion department of nearby universities. This year the end of the round-robin schedule found the twelfth year team en- throned as school champions. r fi|iti|iiimi pSSBpil t ' f •  MmiM 122 HOCKEY For action, skill, and speed choose hockey. The thirteenth year soared to victory in capturing the hockey championship this semester. A playday at Fullerton gave the upper division girls an opportunity to meet teams from other junior colleges on the hockey field. Playdays fill a very special niche in the college curriculum as they tend to create a more friendly feel- ing between the rival junior colleges. At the end of hockey season awards are given out at a formal banquet. 123 W5 ' «?m A S E B A L L Baseball is certain to retain its popular position on the sports calendar if such players as ' Daets , Star Williams , and Lefty Bowman give it their full support. Baseball is the last sport of the year outside of the minor sports, such as bicycling, swimming, and hiking. The minor sports continue during the entire school year and make it possible for W. A. A. girls to earn extra points. The year ' s sport season is ended with a baseball spread at the close of the last game. 124 T E N N Three tennis tournaments are held each year, the Fall Elim- ination Tournament, the Spring Elimination Tournament, and the Mid-year Interclass Tournament. The two elimination tournaments determine the team rankings and the mid-year contest decides the school championships. The Upper Div- ision has tennis teas with other Junior Colleges, while the Lower Division tennis activities include matches with othsr high schools and Bay League playoffs. 125 126 O R G A N I Z A O N S .ERVICE :)RGANIZA TIONS ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS Officers first semester: president, Gertrude Esser; vice-president, Vondel McKay; secretary, Maxine Murray; treasurer, Ilva Little; social chairman, Mary Jane Irvin; fourteenth year, Doris Couse; thirteenth year, Lois Scheppele; twelfth year, Jane Nelson; eleventh year, Eloise Jones; Y.

Paul Laws provides the rhythm for the season ' s outstanding social function. Advertising campaign gives the school a rough idea about what ' s going to happen at the next elections.

Herron, Scott, Marone, Collier and Carr composed the winning twelfth year team; Tartar Knights and thirteenth year were runners up. Due to organization of the Associated Men Students, supervision of the second annual indoor baseball round robin w?s made a student body affair and was not conducted by the Bachelors. Two leagues of five teams each entered the event. 196 AWARDS HONORS COMPETITIONS 197 Awards, honors, and competition offered Compton Junior College students represent a unique feature of campus life. In the past year many students achieved first place honors in inter-collegiate contests and tournaments, and a host more won second and third prizes. All first place winners are automati- cally members of Compton Alpha, premier society for recognizing out- standing students. Dwight Eubank, Tartar Shield feature editor, won first place, the only journalistic award of the year, for his page at the spring Cali- fornia Junior College press convention. Of the various scholarships offered annually only two were given, one under the auspices of Alpha Gamma Sigma. Irma Leyrer and Lucretia Carter received year residential awards to Redlands and Occidental, respectively. Students of Miss Smith ' s drama and speech classes again garnered a lion ' s share of honors. Margaret Hiemann, for example, placed first in the Southern Festival of Allied Arts sponsored by Los Angeles chamber of commerce; Compton ' s ten entries won seven places, including first in extemporaneous speech, story telling, and prose reading, won by Jack Shepherd, Margaret Mayo, and Fred Miller, respectively. Four champions were produced from Herschel Smith ' s upper division track squad. Frank Parks is western and all-conference discus champion for the second consecutive year; Justin McCarthy, pole-vaulted 13 feet 8 3-8 inches to sup- plant George Jefferson ' s old record; Seward Mounday bettered Benavidez ' s mile record with 4:27.4 in gaining the western division title; and Cornelius Johnson, although declared ineligible in league competitio n, annexed copious honors at home and abroad, including the national A.A.U. co-championship, which he holds with Mar.y at 6 feet 8 5-8 inches. The mile relay team also won conference titles. In lower division track Russell Huffine established a new Bay League record of 6 feet 3 1-2 inches for the high jump. The class B squad, probably the best in ten years, produced Russo Smart, new league champion for the century at 10 flat, and Ulysses Harris, a holder of the league 220 yard mark. Basketball and cross-country championships were also taken during the year. Coach Smith ' s cross-country runners gained a per- petual trophy for their third consecutive win; the junior college hoop five finished on top, and Coach Powers ' lower division middleweights advanced to their Southern California play-off in the last four years. SORORITY TRIO ROSE WALTON NORMA FOGARTY DOROTHY DENHAM The Sorority Trio lias been one of the popular contributors to the social life of Compton Junior College. Composed of Rose Walton, Norma Fogarty, and Dorothy Denham, the trio has sung for numerous student body functions. They have also presented several numbers over various radit) stations. Their accomplishments have been outstanding. 198 Off with her head! Those looks of apprehension in the background are positively not faked. Note Parks holding Dot ' s malt while she poses.

MATHENY ' S SCOOP BEARD CONTEST 199 Kermie and Amy, tlie yell kings of Tartartown, dis- play a faint suggestion of their tonsil-tearing personal- ities. Kermit Anderson was one of the most popular yell leaders of the last few years. His maroon and grey shirt and his flaming red hair made him one of the school ' s best known figures. A fine sense of humor and a general air of insolence and ' bodacity ' account for his immense personal popularity. YELL LEADERS 200 I: ' STAFF il MEMBERS BALLOT TALLY Look, office drudges! Slaves of the present system! ' Simon Legree ' Stefflre and his personal battery of bloodhounds, including Nunn, Herbold, and Davis have just scuttled under the desk in search of the ten grade points Mr. Martin declared tiiey lost. The neat room isn ' t exactly typical. It generally looked as though a small but very active cyclone had just scored a direct hit. The amateur election board tallies the popularity vote. Ward-heelers representing Fahs, Sutherland, Holland and Heimann, have just gone downstairs to settle next month ' s rent with the landlady. The Strip-Strip-Hurrah sign is really not in the room at all but was drawn on the picture later by un- friendly interests, probably secret agents of Akru, the Sorceress. 201 F. E. R. A.

The second semester senior class officers were Wayne Becker, president; Orrin Matheny, vice-president; Doris Couse, secretary; and Paul Sutherland, treasurer. Faculty advisers for the four- teenth year are Miss Mabel Hill and Mr. Robert Gillingham. The senior class entered basketball and baseball teams in the two intra-mural contests, placing high in both. The Annual Fourteenth Year Follies were staged under the direction of Wayne Becker and again were an outstanding success. 204 Johanna Hofer Myrtle Hoicomb Dan Holland PInsical Education PreLegal Physical Sciem ,miii Carroll Plagens 205 Harvey Riggs Pre-Legal Roy R.tchie Science Ewart Robson Alberto Sanchez Commercial Art Social Science FEBRUJARY GRADUATES Tj m.

Last year ' s commissioner of lower division activities, Carl Rahn, was elected president. The Junior class selected two other athletes to guide their activities. James Twombley was vice-president, Jerry Grossman treas- urer. Twombley played upper division football and Grossman captained the 1934 ' B ' class basketball champions. Lois Scheppele, women ' s personality fin- alist, acted as secretary for the year. A new office was created by the class of 1936 to enable the giving of special attention to the Junior-Senior Prom. The position was that of social chairman and was held by Glenna Davidson. THIRTEENTH YEAR CLASS The thirteenth year class being one of the two junior classes in the school assumes the responsibility of staging the annual Junior-Senior Promenade. The officers of the thirteenth year, in conjunction with the eleventh year leaders, form the Prom Committee which arranges all the details, recommends an orchestra and hall to the student council, and designs bids and programs. The success of this year ' s dance was due in a great measure to the efforts of Carl Rahn, James Twombley, Lois Scheppele, Jerry Grossman, and Glenna Davidson. The president and social chairman worked especially hard. In previous years the regular four officers had to take care of the routine duties and sponsor the Prom as well. With the introduction of a new office, that of social chairman, one person was placed in more complete charge of this phase of the class work. This new arrangement of work 214 distribution has proved so successful that future thirteenth year classes will continue the plan.

With the advice and assistance of advisers Beatrice Reynolds and Louis Mudge, these people cooperated to pro- duce a beautiful and successful finale to the school ' s social events. Besides their participation in the preparation and presentation of this event, the elev- enth year accquitted itself well in the newly-born program of intra-mural competition. Led by officers Jack Ramsaur, president; Ruth Yoshihara, vice- president; Betty Snyder, treasurer, and Eloise Jones, secretary, the class was always in the running, no matter how strong the competition became. Class dues this year were ten cents and meetings of the group were held in the Little Theatre on Mondays when business necessitated consideration. 235 ELEVENTH YEAR CLASS Combining graduates from the five junior high school districts the eleventh year class generally experiences great difficulty in orienting its members to junior college life. This year, however, the Freshman class was extremely fortunate in its choice of student of- ficers. Jack Ramsaur directed the class government and led the class in all school activities. He arranged for the entry of teams in the intra-mural baseball and basketball competition. Ruth Yoshihara served as vice- president, and arranged all class entertainment. Eloise Jones as secretary kept the minutes of the meetings i and arranged for constitutional amendments. Betty Snyder, treasurer, handled the class finances. This year has been characterized by a closer affiliation between the citizens of Compton and students of the Junior College. This co- operation from the townspeople is recognized and appreciated by the school. In the follow- ing pages we have new evidence of this loyalty. The advertisements printed here are more than a business investment, they are an expres- sion of good will and confidence in Compton ' s enterprises. The staff hopes that the business enterprises will be repaid by increased trust and appreciation from students and their friends. ADVERTISING K. T.

Staff members, administratiors, and those concern- ed with the more technical phase of the an- nual ' s make-up receive little credit from the average student, yet work hard and sacrifice much for the book. I appreciate the services of Fred Nunn, whos; knowledge of photog- raphy and executive ability have been inval- uable. I am thankful to Mr. Andrew for man- aging the finances of the Dar-U-Gar, and to Mrs. Smith for her general supervision and control through all the phases of editing and publishing. I thank Miss Ryan and Tom Bridges for laying out the book, and Roy Her- bold for his assistance to the art department. Mr. Cannicott, the engraver, and Mr. Corn- stock and Frank Engle of the print shop have always cooperated with the staff, overlooking our inexperience and helping us wherever they could. To the staff as a whole I am deeply grateful and hope that the finished product has made their expenditure of service seem worth while. BUFORD STEFFLRE
