Compton College - Dar U Gar Yearbook (Compton, CA)

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.
