The new is in, the old is dis- carded. A great Southern California institution, made great by years of painstaking, earnest, faithful effort, is reduced to dust by a few tremors of the earth, and that institu- tion, phoenix-like, emerges from the ashes greater and more influential than ever before. These tides and surges of current history, these adoptions and discards, are all aspects of one great thing — THE MARCH OF TIME! No other subject could be more fortunate. All philosophy, all industry, all civilization acknowledges one basic fact: noth- ing is permanent but change. Where could one find a better theme for a year book. Here, in one phrase, is an idea which conceivably connects the old with the new, the past with the present. May we then, using The March of Time as a foundation, attempt to unfold the progress and achievement which has been made this year? 4 ' d Ramsaur Field at Night The kick-off of the Pasadena-Compton football game marked the introduction of night athletic events on Ramsaur Field, home of champions. Towering masts bearing batteries of powerful floodlights were erected to illuminate the field to daylight intensity. Scientifically placed to eliminate blind spots and glare for spectators and athletes, the lighting system has been adjudged one of the finest in the Southland. Compton ' s famous invitational track meet, the majority of the home football games, and other athletic events were held under these mighty floods. Plans underway call for the use of the field for adult recreation during the summer. f « .„- f . ... , ' % Sppjpr m. Ever since the first beetle-browed caveman had to ex- plain the picture of a mammoth he had scratched on the wall of his cave, we have had educators. Always they have toiled, wresting brittle truths, rigid facts from their sciences. They bear many names; today, framed in a background of clattering typewriters, metallic office equipment, we call them by the steely word: Adminis- tration. Book I Jl Destroyed by Quake The March of Time through the school year 1935-36 saw the re- moval of the last traces of the disastrous earthquake of 1933. Administrators and trustees, with unflagging faith, courage, and per- severance, labored under seemingly insurmountable difficulties to achieve the ultimate realization in their program of reconstruction with the completion of the 3 20,000 administration building. Designed primarily for safety, convenience, and beauty, the struc- ture is a milestone in architectural progress. Massive concrete mason- ry, cement piles driven deep into the earth under tremenduous pressure, and spiral pillar reenforcement have made the building as near earthquake proof as possible. The use of diffused illumination, harmonizing floor inlaids in corridors, and unusual pigments in the foyer, are acclaimed the most beautiful in the Southland. Highlight of the administrative year was the ceremony on March 27 which marked the founding, reconstruction, and dedication of the junior college. On that day, noted educators, executives, and trustees gathered on the campus to participate in colorful ceremonies. New Administration Building Anniversary Banquet Janie P. Abbot Prominent in establishment of Compton Junior College Prominent citizens honored because of their unselfish effort in furthering advanced education in Compton were: Mr. H.J. Mayo, Mr. Frank L. Wal- ton, Mrs. Janie P. Abbott, president of the Compton board of Education who led the drive to found the col- lege, Mr. Mark Keppel, Mr. Andrew Herskind, Mr. Claude Reber, Mr. I.F. Petterson, Mr. D.P. Nestor, Mr. Lewis Daetweiler, and Superintendent O. Scott Thompson, in whos? honor the new auditorium was named. Dedicated to Mr. Frank L. Walton was the new library where the latest in lighting and heating plus the con- venient placement of the many vol- umes combined to make study and re- search easy. Completing the list of recreational facilities, the new swimming pool, mpde possible through a grant by the federal government, was constructed durins the latter half of the spring semester. Named in honor of Mr. H J. Mayo, president of the board of trustees, the pool will be the means of furthing aquatic sports on the campus. Celebrating his twenty years of service to Compton schools, Mr. O. Scott Thompson was honored with a ban- quet at the Virginia country club dur- ing the fall semester. Symbolic of th° 18 Frank L. Walton Library esteem of faculty members and officials was the beautifully engraved watch presented to him. Reconstruction of the administration unit made possible the use of the Annex for offices of the Tartar Shield, Dar- U- Gar, and Tartar Knights as well as for stage and dancing activities. Mayo Plunge Anniversary Banquet The March of Time through the 1935-1936 school year saw, in addition to reconstruction and building, a remarkable growth of the junior college enroll- ment. On October 1, 1935, over thirteen hundred students were registered, showing a fifty per cent increase over figures for October, 1934, while other southland junior colleges advanced only normally or not at all. This advancement, consistent with the college ' s growth of 592 per cent in its few years of existence, indicates even larger student bodies for the institution in the future.

Tempora Mutantur, Et Nos Mutamur In I His (The times are changed and we are changed with them) Time was when the halls of higher learning were the stamping ground of but one species; serious young men and women with activities focused on the pursuit of learning. Recent democratic changes in education have altered the student front. No longer solely erudite in purpose, the former mass focus has become a varied group of foci. The metamorphosis of once hallowed halls has been a revolutionary one indeed. Through the modern halls of junior collegiana, TIME STAGGERS ON! Book 2 Student Government Tony Miller President, First Semester Keep Compton on top, the slogan used by Fred Tony Miller in his race for A. S. B. leader, was adopted by the president and the student council for the fall semester. Guarding old traditions and making new ones in their effort to keep the junior college in the front rank of Southern California institu- tions, the group served well. Serving with Miller on the council were Eugene McCormick, vice-president; Margaret Tibby, secretary; Bill Gill, A. M. S. president; Bill Hamby, commissioner of finance; Beverly Seaman, commissioner of forensics; Lois Scheppele, commissioner of social activities; Maxine Murray, A. -W. S. pres- ident; Harvey Ludwig, commissioner of publications; Dwight Eubank, editor of Tartar Shield; and Jack Ramsaur, lower division representative. Innovations to the round of campus activities for which this council was wholly responsible were: the bonfire rally preceding football events; the dis- plays of fireworks at all games during the football season; the dances after every night home game; the wholesale distribution of free windshield stickers to all students; and greatest of all, their Christmas gift to the school, the gala student body dance held at the beautiful municipal auditorium in Long Beach. Although handicapped during the early part of the semester by lack of an auditorium, the council was able to present a series of interesting, entertain- ing assemblies. The fine efforts of the fall council laid the foundation for a school spirit that was unequaled in the state. 34 Fall Semester Student Council Ml Kermit And Dwight Eubank William Gill Bill Hamby Harvey Ludwig Eugene McCormick Maxine Murray Jack Ramsaur Lois Scheppele Beverly Seaman Margaret Tibby Mr. Milton H.

Meeting as the president ' s cabinet, the commissioners of the various departments plus the editor of the Tartar Shield and the A. W. S and A. M. S. presidents, respec- tively, planned and carried through a program of activity designed primarily for student benefit. Included in the accomplishments of the council were the presentation of tri- monthly assemblies of both the educational and entertaining type, some of which were the Annual Amateur Show; the successful student body dance; the Class and Homecoming Days; and the promotion of dances, games, and other student functions. Adopting the policy that those who served the school deserved reward, the council made possible the Finance Commission party, the Dar-U-Gar banquet, the music banquet, the Tartar Shield staff dinner, and the staff ' s attendance of the junior college newspaper convention at Santa Monica. With Dean Milton H. Andrew as administrative supervisor, the council con- sisted of Beverly Seaman, student body president and executive officer; Paul Herbert, A. S. B. vice-president; Betty Davies, A. W. S. president; Edgar McCormick, A. M. S. president; Rex Jeffreys, commissioner of forensics; Lavina Matheny. commissioner of social activities; Ross Bunker, com- missioner of finance; Jerry Grossman, Tartar Shield editor; Harvey Ludwig, Dar-U-Gar editor; Wilfrid Seaman, commissioner of lower division activ- ities; and Virginia Garrison, student body secretary. 36 Stmlent Legislation Spring Semester Student Council Ross Bunker Betty Davies Dwight Eubank Virginia Garrison Jerry Grossman Paul Herbert Rex Jeffreys Harvey Ludwig Edgar McCormick Lavina Matheny W lfnd Seaman Mr. Milton H.

Eight years of reliable service to the school has marked the Finance Commission as one of the foremost groups on the campus. Their handling of tickets at athletic contests has 4 rawn com- plimentary remarks from diverse individuals. Heading this organization is the Commissioner of Finance, elected by the student body. Membership is obtained by ap- plication, no specific requirements being necessary. This year there were forty members from both lower and upper divis- ions. No regular meetings were held, and assignments for the sport events were posted on a bulletin for the benefit of the members. The adviser for the past few years has been Mr. David Slothower, who, serving in this capacity has the sole right to consider the applications for rejection or acceptance. To show their appreciation for the service the Finance Com- mission rendered the school, the student body appropriated enough money to the group for a theater party, held late in May. 38 Publications Harvey Ludwig Commissioner of Publications No simple task is the publication of a yearbook of the caliber of the Dar-U- Gar. The desire to better the yearbooks of preceding years coupled with the responsibility of chronicling the multitudinous activities of an ever increas- ing student body create a problem with varied ramifications little known to the uninitiated. Heading the staff this year was the dynamic Commissioner of Publications, scholarly Harvey Ludwig. Doubling as copy writer, proof reader, creative genius, errand boy, handy man, and slave driver, he was greatly responsible for this 1936 Dar-U-Gar. Ably filling the other executive positions on the staff were genial Cullen Gulko, ex-columnist, who as associate editor aided Ludwig in his work; brilli- ant Melvin Weber, who after three others had fallen by the wayside, took charge of the layouts and filled the position of art editor; and friendly Carl Starkey who as sports editor, covered the realm of athletics. General chairman of the faculty advisory board was Miss Teresa Roberts, who directed the work of planning and write-ups. Supervising the art work throughout the year book was Miss Helen M. Ryan. Mr. George C. Ford engineered the printing, binding, and mechanical work. Cullen Gulko Associate Ed Miss Helen M. Ryan Art Miss Teresa D. Robe Journalism Carl Starkey Sporti Editor Mr. George C.

Journalism Kenneth Seim Advertising 4.2 Publicity Realization of a long sought Compton junior college news bureau came about this year with the organization of the publicity class into a staff of re- porters who served in that capacity during both semesters. Submitting stories of campus events to 3 3 newspapers in this area and send- ing items concerning out-of-state students to all parts of the country fro m which they had come, the news bureau was invaluable in bringing the name of Compton junior college before the public. Acting as publicity director was Kermit Anderson who was appointed to this position because of his thorough newspaper experience. He served capably in this role throughout the year. Assisting Anderson was James Allen, asso- ciate editor. Miss Teresa Roberts acted as general adviser to the work. One of the outstanding activities of the bureau aside from its regular news contributions was the arrangements for radio programs. Due to the efforts of Sam Angel, publicity student, Compton junior college was featured in broad- casts over stations KFVD, KFAC, and KNX in popular programs featuring the music, drama, and speech departments. Working strenuously during the spring semester the news bureau attempted to cover every upper division student registered on the campus who had graduated from schools outside of Compton, news items being sent not only to home town papers but to high schools as well. Prominence for the school was thus gained by bringing the name of Compton before the minds of peo- ple throughout the country. Publicity Heads Conjc 43 D wight Eubank f Tartar Shield Most difficult of student body offices is that of the editor of the Tartar Shield. Requiring extensive technical information and long hours at the make-up stone each week, the position is not regarded an easy one. The early part of the fall semester saw the election of Dwight Eubank, former editor of the feature page, to the executive post. Selected to serve as associate editor with Eubank was Cullen Gulko, perennial columnist, who had pre- viously served on both the feature and front pages. Reporters for the front page during the fall semester were Marion Wilier, Vivian Knudsen, Dorothy Jensen, Henry Sundstrum, Edwin Comstock and Gayle Holoday. Succeeding Eubank as feature editor was Mavis Sauls who had under her tutelage the columnists and feature and editorial writers of the second page. Associated with Miss Sauls were Nunzio Crisci, Woodrow Hansen, and Jack Masheeco. Carol Miller, veteran society reporter, took command of the women ' s page and had as her aides Patricia Terry and Margaret Tibby. Heading the vast aggregation of sports writers was Allen McDaniel who acted as sports editor. Affiliated with McDaniel were John Anderson, Bill Gill, Carl Starkey, Frank Miller, Joe Gallegos, and Howard Miller. Joe Gallegos, Henry Sundstrum, and John Anderson held the positions of business manager, exchange manager, and circulation manager, respectively. •4-4 Shield Staff Poses For P, Fall Semester Tartar Shield Staff First Row — John Anderson, Edwin Comstock, Nunzio Crisci, Frank Englc, Dwight Eubank.

Automatically elec- ted editor by virtue of his sole candidacy for the position was Jerry Grosman, former sports editor on the staff headed bv Orin Matheny. Grosman is a veteran of many years of Comp- ton journalistic work. Named to fill the position of associate editor held the previous semester by Cullen Gulko was Roy W. Herbold, formerly as- sociate to Grossman on the sport page. Mavis Sauls and Carol Miller, feature and society editors Oi the previous semester, were again named to head their respec- tive pages while Howard Miller, on last semester ' s sport staff, was selected to guide the destinies of the athletic page. Veterans remaining on the staff during the spring semester were Vivian Knudsen, Marion Wilier, Allen McDaniel, Carl Starkey, and Henry Sundstrum on the front page; Patricia Terry and Nunzio Crisci on the feature page; and John An- derson and Edwin Comstock on the sports page. Newcomers to the staff were Donald Dunbar, Helen Brodie, Florence Kilpatrick, Mona Hendershot, and Leon Flynn on the front page; Lorene Evans and Paul Herbert on the fea- ture page; Helen Holtzman and Blanche Owens on the wom- en ' s page; and James Allen on the sports page. 46 rth Estaters Covering Track Spring Semester Tartar Shield Staff First Row— James Allen, John Anderson, Edwin Comstock, Jr., Nunzio Crisci, Donald Dunbar.

Under the capable guidance of Mr. George C. Ford the shop is operated at a high degree of efficiency and plays an important part in the training of future printers and journalists. Working day and night, the print shop serves not only in providing student apprenticeship for further work in the trade, but for turning out newspapers, books, pamphlets, posters, and other printed matter used by the entire Compton union secondary school district. Perhaps the highlight of the year was the printing of the 1936 Dar-U-Gai. In addition to the annual of the college, five junior high school year books, a monthly edition of the Junior High News, and the weekly Tartar Shield were printed. A 32 page dedication booklet, a monthly recreational news, a teacher ' s bulletin, and the 96 page announcement of courses were other mat- ter capably handled. This does not even include the many odd jobs such as stationery, hand bills, and letterheads turned out. Mr. Ford, a recent addition to the jaysee faculty, fulfills capably the difficult task of meeting the many requirements of his department. Always willing to accommodate, he is tireless in his effort to give prompt and efficient service. Frank Engle, assistant to Mr. Ford, handles most of the work in relation to the Tartar Shield and other newspapers and has proved himself a willing worker. His geniality and ever ready willingness to assist make him a friend to the students. D rama Judgment Day Elmer Rice ' s powerful drama, Judgment Day was given for the first time by any university or college with Miss Leona V. Smith and a cast of selected upper division students scoring a triumph. Miss Smith was complimented highly by critics for her able direction and choice of play, for the powerful drama was well presented by a talented cast. With so large a group, it is difficult to state whether one person was more outstanding than the rest; it is better to say that the entire cast functioned as one to produce one of the best junior college plays ever given in Compton. 50 Judgment Day Whether the play was based on conditions in Russia or in Germany, this denunciation of tyranny and despotism allowed ample scope for the acting abilities of the entire group. A high spot of the drama was Fred Miller ' s soliloquy while trying to decide the fate of a conspirator. Though short, it was tense and dramatic, and Tony extracted the last drop of emotion from his lines. By no means a step-child of the reconstruction program, the stage and dressing rooms of the new auditorium were planned and construe tod with the same consideration and thought that marked other phases of the work. Easily accessible from the stage is the large loft for flat storage, the grid, the fly gallery, and the modern switchboard capable of pro- fessional lighting effects. Connected by a convenient stairway are the commodious, well-lighted dressing rooms in the basement which can accommodate the largest play casts with ease. rowing rains Its theme based on the conflicts that develop from the purposes and cross purposes of the adolescents, those unfortunates who are supposedly too old to be childish and too young to be adults, the hilarious comedy Growing Pains was a high-light of the school year. Presented by the Vox Club, the play dealt with the tribulations and anguish that accompanies the first love of teen-age youth. Differing from the usual play in that the eternal triangle was replaced by a polyhedral situation wherein George loved Prudence, Tetty was enraptured with Brian, Brian was emotionally upside down, and Prudence was in love with herself, it was a riot of humor from start to finish. 52 Growing Pains The Vox Players presentation was a tribute to the abilities of the student actors and of the coach leading them. Adhering to her policy of making productions under her direction as completely a student affair as possible, Miss Patty Baird appointed Nunzio Crisci as co- director and allowed the club to produce and advertise the play. The result was indicative of the success of her theory and of the drama group ' s excellence. Complimenting these junior thespians, Pasa- dena Community Players present said that the Vox presentation was superior to theirs in many respects. Christmas Pageant One of the finest traditions of the junior col- lege is the presentation annually of a Christ- mas pageant. Serving to remind the student body of the true meaning and spirit of die Yuletide, each of the yearly productions have been beautiful and inspirational. Presented for the first time in the beautiful new auditorium, the Christmas pageant this year, by virtue of its spectacular beauty, cos- tuming, and staging, ranked with the finest of these annual events. Enthusiastic critics were unanimous in their applause for this student accomplishment. 53 One-Act Plays Scoring a dramatic triumph, Vox Players presented a program of five one-act plays that held the audience from beginning to end. This statement quoted from a local newspaper tells partially of the success of the opening night, but the hard work in preparing for the play is seldom known. All one act plays produced in the Little Theatre are experimental. Only first rate selections are chosen and virtually all of the work of directing is done by students in keep- ing with Miss Baird ' s policy of plays for students by students. It is from these per- formances that talent is chosen for the big play of the year. The five one act productions included every- thing from farce to tragedy. Who Says Can ' t was a comedy presented by a cast including Marie McGray, Gordon Anderson, Manuel Orona, Dorothy Har- grove, Beverly Christensen, and Dick Cran- dell. The Advantages of Being Shy were dem- onstrated by Jane Dickison, Virginia Suther- land, Lewis Lloyd, Ethel Rogers, Eloise Jones, and Marie McGray. Sending Grandpa to Heaven was delight- fully enacted by Edith Palmer, William Ritchie, and Lorraine Lavelle. Leslie Hart, Dorothy Stinnett, and Gordon Anderson were seen in While the Mush- rooms Bubble. The cast for the play, The Table Set for Himself included Charlotte Dickerson, Lucille Stockwell, Leslie Hart, Fredia Det- wiler, Doris Hargrove, Leo Hough ton, Lor- raine Fredericks, Wilfrid Seamen, and Harry- Bennett. 4 Pageant of the Nations With approximately one thousand students participating in one of the most spectacular pageants to be produced in these parts, The Summoning of the Nations was presented before an enthusiastic audience at the Los Angeles Coliseum on May 23. Duplicating the success of the production given last year for the Rotarians, the drama, music, art, gym, and home economics depart- ments cooperated in the ambitious undertak- ing presented for the Boy Scouts. So tre- menduous was its success that the production will be talked about for months to come. Too much cannot be said of the order and efficiency which characterized the planning and execution of the pageant. With costumes to be designed and made, speeches, songs, and dances representing 66 nations to be re- hearsed, faculty representatives from five de- partments cooperated in one harmonious whole to produce an undertaking of everlast- ing credit to the school. Because of its philanthropic aim and its own high merits, the pageant has done much to elevate the name of Compton in the South- land. Stage Crew While military strategists credit the success of Napoleon to the stomachs of his army, drama-wise observers are crediting much of the junior college play success to the white over- ailed shoulders of the stage crew. Responsible for the brilliant lighting and sound effects as well as for beautiful settings, these powers behind the throne contributed much to the value of the productions in the new auditorium. Although handicapped by the lack of flats and properties destroyed by the earth quake, the crew planned and con- structed the complete sets for two three act plays, seven one act plays, and the ingenuous backgrounds used in the spring pageant, The Summoning of Nations, presented on May 23 in the Los Angeles Olympic Coliseum. Practically inexperienced in stage work at the start of the year, the group was soon on a par with other junior college crews as a result of the training and supervision of Miss Helen Ryan of the art department. o Musi i Orchestra The fifty-five piece Compton junior college orches- tra this year has added many laurels to the already long list of honors attained by the musical organ- izations Mr. A. J. Belprez has directed in his many years at Tartary. Music for the huge pageant spon- sored by the Boy Scouts of America at the Los Angeles Coliseum in May was furnished by the Compton o rchestra, in cooperation with the other musical organizations on the campus. At the annual Southern California College Sym- phony held at Santa Barbara, eight Tartars played in the great orchestra, which was selected from fif- ty-two Southern California colleges. Representing Compton were Glenna Davidson, Doris Spaulding, Leslie Forster, Edwin Michael, Stanley Paschall, Bob Royce, Arnold Rothmeier, and Bob Schaeffer. This group made up about ten per cent of the orchestra, and Compton had the second largest representation of musicians in the concert. The orchestra has also performed several times over the radio, and before service clubs, women ' s clubs, and other organizations throughout Southern Cal- ifornia. Under the leadership of Bob Schaeffer, concert master, the musicians have played at assem- blies and at all the school plays. mir Little Symphony The Little Symphony is a miniature symphony or- chestra which has been trained by Mr. Belprez in the intricacies of that particular kind of orchestral work. There are twenty-two pieces in the group, which is one of the most finished in ability of all the Compton musical organizations. Although the Little Symphony made no perform- ances during the first semester, the intensive train- ing the students received during this time was evi- denced by their concerts during the latter part of the year. Altogether they have given about twenty concerts, playing some of the most difficult music written for orchestral rendition. SO Band Thompson Auditorium was the scene of the annual Memorial Day Bay League Band Masters conclave, which featured a concert by the massed bands of every school in the Bay League. The two hundred and forty piece organization demonstrated the ver- satility of a band as an instrument of conve ying good music to an appreciative audience by playing patriotic, operatic, popular, and classical selections. The band this year also performed at Compton civic parades and at all Tartar football games. Their ability at executing intricate marching manuevers was exceeded only by the excellence of their mus- ical tributes to the competing schools. 60 Women ' s Glee Club The Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs form an outlet for the many students at Compton who desire to express their musical talent in song. Compton has always been famous for the excellence of its musical organizations, and the two singing groups are no exception. Much practice has made them extremely proficient in mass harmony singing. At the opening assembly of the school year, which saw the dedication of the new Thompson Auditorium, the glee clubs sang several selections which met with the whole hearted approval of the student body and the many guests. Mrs. Lundkvist is to be congratulated on the fine singing organi- zations she has developed. M en s Glee Club 61 m A Cappella A Cappella well deserves the appelation of the busiest organization on the Compton campus, for all this year the choral group has averaged a per- formance a week throughout all of southern Cal- ifornia. A Capella is a mixed choir, and shows the result of the careful work Mrs. Lundkvist has done in her effort to make the organization one of the most outstanding choral groups in the Southland. A Cappella has sung over KHJ, KFI, and KECA, winning a wide response from the huge audience a p. H 1 i j sk hB of radio listeners. The group has traveled all over Los Angeles county singing before women ' s clubs, service clubs, high schools, and for many civic or- ganizations and enterprises. The fine record that these singers have made is a tribute to the brilliant performances of the mem- bers and the hard work of Mrs. Lundkvist, who molded A Cappella into the splendid choral group that it has become and who has developed the spirit of conviviality and geniality which has marked the organization in all its efforts. 62 Men ' s and Women ' s Quartet Jane Nelson, Jane Dickison, Marjorie Richardson, and Freda Kurtz make up Compton ' s quartette of feminine songsters who have performed many times before various civic organizations and sevice clubs in the local district. Ned Collingridge, Lawrence Geiselman, Rex Jeffries, and Nunzio Crisci have b uilt up a large following among Compton students for their fine singing, and particularly for their inexhaustible repertoire of humorous selections. The male quartette was one of the best balanced harmony groups on the campus. Both quartettes sang in the opening assembly in Thompson Auditorium and were kept busy throughout the year fulfilling engagements both on and off the campus. 63 ■ Many a Tartar toe has tickled to the tuneful and rhythmic arrangements of the Melodettes, whose distinctive style of delivering songs of the day has been the feature of the Wednesday afternoon dances throughout the year. The three girls who blend their voices to form this popular trio ar: Frieda Kurtz, Jane Dickison, and Jane Nelson. Melodettes The Tartarettes, women ' s service organization, en- livened many a football game with their between- halves performances, where they combined school spirit with hospitality as they welcomed the Tartar ' s gridiron opponents. Tartarettes ■umhiwi I HI ll« TO) . ,£. _ t r , . 64 Malleteers The Malleteers are three hammering tunesmiths whose dis- tinctive melodic arrangements on the xylophone, vihraharp, and marimba have enlivened many a Tartar assembly. The mallet wielders are Vera Hemphill, Virgil Hemphill, and Don Chandler. All last summer the Malleteers broadcast daily over KGER, Long Beach, as a regular sustaining feature of that station. Their rhythmic interpretations of popular tunes of the day won them a great deal of favor with radio listeners. They won the Hall of Fame contest held by KNX and have made several appearances before Kiwanis and Rotary clubs. The Compton Junior College string trio, directed by Mr. Alidor J. Belprez, is composed of three extremely talented musicians whose repertoire consists of some of the finest music ever written. Leslie Forrester, violin; Doris Spaulding, ' cello; and Dorothy Tovey, piano; form the organization. The group has been much in demand for off-campus appearances and has given concerts for the Los Angeles and the Hollywood Women ' s Clubs. All three of the musicians represented Compton at Santa Barbara ' s annual Southern California College Symphony concert.

Beta Chi Epsilon, honorary women ' s singing group, has as its purpose the fostering of an outlet for musical expression among its members, and the serving of the school and the community as a singing organization. So well has this aim been fulfilled that Beta Chi Epsilon has made over twenty- five public appearances this year. At the Allied Arts Festival in Los Angeles, in competition with some of the finest choral organizations in the southland, the group won first place. An A or B in music is required of the candidate for ad- mission to Beta Chi Epsilon, and each singer must be able to hold a part in a quartette. These rigorous admission require- ments have resulted in the standard of excellence which has characterized the organization ' s performances. Sk d Speech Contests ir ' s oratorical activities at Compton were the annual Armistice Day and Extemporaneous speech con- tests, while Compton students also went afield to gain honors at the Allied Arts Festival in Los Angeles. At the festival the following Tartars won first places with their speech arts interpretations: Victoria Wolfskill in tin- junior college modern drama division; Dorothy Irwin in the high school original oration contest; and Fred Miller in the junior college extemporaneous speech division. Miller also won Tartary ' s annual extemporaneous speech contest, while James Ritchie was the victor in the Armistice Day speech meet for lower division students. Both of these students were awarded handsome wrist watches by Arleigh Kerr, Compton jeweler. Phi Rho Pi Joe Bunker Bill Kepley Florence Kilpatrick Bill Leavitt Fred Miller Bob Perkins Mr. Karl Stromsen Tartar orators have engaged in several de- bates with Southern California colleges and junior colleges during the past year and have completed a busy season of forensic activity. Debate at Compton is sponsored and directed by Phi Rho Pi, national honorary junior col- lege forensics fraternity, which has been ac- tive in fostering student participation in speech and debating. Victory in at least one league debate is required for membership in the or- ganization. Besides the regular intercollegiate contests, teams have debated several times before the social science classes, speaking on various phases of current economic, political, and so- cial conditions. These debates, culminating in open forum discussions, mark an interesting and worthwhile innovation in the method of presenting subject matter to the college stu- dent. Social Activities The term college life formerly brought to mind one of two concepts, either social activity consist- ing of semi-monthly meetings of the chess and literary clubs, or one continuous whirl of parties with youth hurling its wild oats to the four winds with unrestrained abandon. At Compton and hundreds of other institutions, both of these con- cepts have been proven unfounded and fallacious. Believing that a well rounded social program through which students may fraternize and relax under proper conditions is as integral a part oi modern education as the three r ' s, the adminis- tration has made it possible for students to be so- cially active without hindering their education. Not a chronology of the term year is this section, but merely a description of the highlights of the social calendar. Not accessories to the fact but pertinent factors of the junior college social year are the campus women. Many of the traditional affairs sponsored yearly by these modern Amazons are regarded as the leading events of the season. The Associated Women Students ' afternoon leap year dance was regarded as one of the finest of the very popular weekly afternoon events. Not dependent entirely on the less deadly branch of the species, the incorrectly labeled weaker sex presents annually events from which junior col- lege men are excluded. Included in this category of affairs sans men are the hilarious W. A. A. Hi-Jinks sponsored by the Women ' s Athletic Asso- ciation and the yearly banquet of the Associated Women Students honoring officers and college faculty, both shown on this page. I A new note in collegiate social events was struck at the now famous student body dance held a t the Long Beach municipal auditorium with the pre- sentation of a revue featuring modern trends in men ' s and women ' s dress and campus apparel. Conceived and engineered by Dwight Eubank, Tartar Shield editor, the novel idea proved a huge success and was incorporated in other student affairs. Selected to serve as models and mannequins for the show which displayed all manners and modes of style and color for the collegiate were prominent men and women in campus life. Co-operating with the students in the presentation were the Comp- ton Smart Shop, who furnished the gowns for the women, and Desmond ' s of Los Angeles and Long Beach, who provided the men ' s ensembles. High spot of the fall semester activity calendar was the Student Body Dance at the huge auditorium in Long Beach on the eve of Christmas vacation. Originating within the Council, the dance was pre- sented as a gift to the students and no admission was charged. The approval with which this affair was met marked it as an event worth repeating, repeating. Efficiently maintaining alumni-school relationships are the affairs honoring graduates of previous se- mesters. Pictured is the Alumni Banquet spon- sored by members of Beta Phi for former mem- bers . . . Serving as a mark of appreciation by the school to those who have served are the many din- ners for the athletic teams. One of these was the banquet at the Pathfinder Club for lower division football men. I Encore to the history-making Beta Phi Prom of last year was the second annual mid-winter affair sponsored by the same group on January 18. These two proms, the first in the history of the school to be put on by social organizations, were accepted from the start. Other organizations have since adopted the idea and also are sponsor- ing annual dances. Rhythmic music furnished by Bud Park and his Olympians, the beautiful gowns and corsages of the women attending, and spacious Westgate Ma- sonic Hall were the three factors that made the dance a success. A unique and thorough adver- tising campaign by the Beta Phi pledges which made the dance date known to every jaysee stu- dent was in a large measure responsible for tin- capacity crowd. Held at beautiful Virginia Country Club in honor of the coaches and men of the 193 5 football team who brought home the Southern California championship to Compton junior college was this banquet in their honor. Another type of tradi- tional activity was the dinner dance sponsored an- nually by men ' s social organizations for members and guests. This year, Alpha Sigma Chi held theirs at tliL Wilshire Bowl. Rounding out the social program of dance and dinner are those outdoor activities so dear to rug- ged young Americans. With parties to the beach and mountains the rule rather than the exception, campus men and women took advantage of the many recreational facilities. Biggest of the snow parties was the one sponsored by Beta Phi which marked a wholesale exodus to the mountains. I A unique means of hearing those famous orches- tras playing on the coast but unobtainable for student affairs is the practice of organizing student lodge parties to attend the ballrooms where these bands are playing. Most prominent of these dur- ing the past year was held by the student body during the spring semester at beautiful Casino Gardens in Ocean Park. A tradition for many years has been the Associated Women Students ' newcomer-tea. During the first week of each semester, the A. W. S. cabinet has acted as hostess to all incoming students at a tea in the Little Theatre .... Long a favorite with junior collegians was the popular Burton Morse orchestra. Assemblies and afternoon dances fea- tured the group ' s affairs. Ranking yearly with the most brilliant of campus social affairs is the Beta Phi formal. No exception was the event this year when members of this pop- ular men ' s social organization, their advisers, and their guests dined and danced at the beautiful Bilt- more Bowl in Los Angeles to sparkling music phyed by Jimmy Grier and his famous orchestra. Picturesque Casa de Rosas in Los Angeles served as the locale this year for the dinner honoring the staff of the Tartar Shield of both spring and fall semesters. Honored guests were the advisers, Miss Marian Peterson and Mr. George C. Ford, and Frank Engle and the editors, Dwight Eubank and Jerry Grossman, the latter acting as toastmaster. Little practiced at other institutions is the Comp- ton custom of planning social activities for interest groups rather than confining them to their own fields of study. Afternoon dances, parties, as well as the usual excursions to points of interest are part of the well rounded programs of these groups. Shown here is the American Association of Engi- neers acting as host to other Southern California chapters. Important in mid-semester social life of the junior college is the annual sport dance of Alpha Sigma Chi, held this year at the L. D. S. hall in Hunt- ington Park. Biggest dance before the famed Junior-Senior Prom held yearly at the Pasadena Civic auditorium, it is a popular event on the campus calendar that includes practically every form of group activity enjoyed by college men and women.

Today we find them clustered in classrooms, mouths a- gape, eyes a-goggle, thirstily drinking in the learned dissertations of their masters. Down from Adam came the classes, and with them comes the only thing Time has yet to change: the mad hilarity that always follows Proffie ' s poor, sad joke. Book 3 y Upper Division Amiable Cliff Alford, debonair athlete, calls the entire student body his friend. Walking with campus cabbages or campus kings, he remains always Cliff — a sunny smile, a cheering word, a stimulating character. Flammule-like Kermit Duane Anderson, sartorially elegant veil leader extraordinary, earns his niche not only with able sports writing and yell leading activities, but primarily because of his colorful personality. Ambidextrously active Joe Bun- ker has a record like the jay- see activity roster. Letterman, debater, thespian, student and A. M. S. council member, and Beta Phi president, Joe has done things at Compt on. Attractive Betty Davics, high mogul in Associated Women Students and Alpha Tau cir- cles with her pleasing but not Pollyana-Iike personality, rates .1 niche with her charming col- lege woman ' s poise. Charming Virginia Garrison steps into the ranks of the fa- vored without ostentation, ably serving the student body as secretary for the past semester. Miss Garrison has gained an enviable reputation. Inspiration for the champion- ship junior college crew has been captain and stroke Leon- ard Geissel, herculean campus adonis. Exceptionally promis- ing, crew-wise coaches predict a great future for this quies- cent youth. Listed with the cinderpath greats is fair haired Bill Gill, former Associated Men ' s Stu- dent president. Sincere, genuine friendliness displayed during his attendance here has earned this campus hero a place in the lonor sun. Outstanding in junior college publication activities is Jerry Grossman, editor of the Tartar Shield and one of the ablest sports writers produced by the school. His horizon not limited to the pen. he has been active in other pastures. Versatile, clover Cullen Gul- ko ' s radically original column- istic activities have been a defi- nite part of campu. life and interest. His witty philosophy has given a humorous quirk to many seamy situations. An enviable record of service JB based on altruism is that or I Annette Hedrick. Her leader- L- ship of the college woman ' s $£ made many of that group ' s beneficient activities for the school a reality. Thespian, journalist, and stu- dent leader well describes the work done by Paul Herbert, present student body vice-pres- ident. Conscientous service has gained a place among the ranks of campus leaders. First man to hold the commis- sionship of social activities, Bob Holmes capably filled that post with the same dependability that made him a mainstay on the junior college track team. I Hi, i. ni I avina Matheny has ably mixed her social and ser- vice activities and has fil her junior college work with high honors. Her tcm as com- missioner of social activities v i ! i, Hiding. Talented Fred Tony Miller, student body president and one of the finest actors in junior college circles, gains a niche by virtue of his popularity based on service and sincere friend- ship. Well in the van of women lead- ers is smiling Maxinc Murray. Tartarette president, A. W. S. head, and an imposing list of offices held in other organiza- tions accurately indicate her rank in campus life. Genial Bob Nolen, as pres- ident of the thirteenth year class, made his office an im- portant one and gave his class a record of activities that has never been equaled. Another Compton great on of fame roles because of out standing school services is Vir ginia Hutchison, former wo men ' s Y president and stu dent body secretary; an abl student, athlete, and socialite. Posthaste BUI Kepley, whirling through his junior college career, has left an imposing reputation for capability in his cyclonic wake. Service on a wide front and his high schol- astic record prove him excep- tional. Erudite Harvey Ludwig, pres- ent Commissioner of Publica- tions and president of the junior college scholarship fra- ternity, ranks with the great on the campus. An outstanding student, a dependable servant, and a fine friend. Crimson-visaged Eugene Mc- Cormick, Associated Men Stu- dents ' president, student body vice-president, and captain of the junior college baseball squad has lon g been numbered as one of the student campus leaders. Attractive Lois Schepplc is another of those exceptional campus women who has been active in innumerable service and social activities and yet has maintained Alpha Gammi Sigma standards in scholar- ship. Ruddy-cheeked Bev Seaman has been one of those gifted in- dividuals who has successfully combined an outstanding scho- lastic average and an impres- sive record of school service. As A. S.

By no means composed entirely of geniuses and heroes, it represents a true cross section of the student bodies of the modern American schools. From far off states and lands beyond the sea have com: members of the 1936 graduating class. The kith of Judy O ' - Grady is side by side with the kin of the Colonel ' s Lady. All races, all nations, all religions, and all classes of the economic system are to be found in the rank and file of this group. While the quality of the group is dependent on the mass, the present seniors may point with pride that from their ranks have come the captains of the Southern California Champion football, track, crew, and baseball teams; a majority of ath- letss on these teams; a troupe of actors instrumental in the success of the junior college play, Judgment Day, and a staff of journalists who materially raised the standards of the school paper.

Conscious of the opportunities in later life that come to the educated man, they came to acquire knowledge. Conscious, also, of the fine recreation, friendships, and activities that abound on the campus, they came expecting a pleasant time. And in both respects, they were not disappointed. The excellent courses, the varied curriculum, and the friendly instructors and administrators plus the fine, modern facilities so conducive to study, helped to satisfy their quest for knowledge. And in the field of extra-curricular activity, the varied interest groups, the campus social organizations, the wide-spread intra-school and conference athletic competitions, and the many all-student-body dances and parties helped to satisfy their innate gregariousness. June of the year 1936 saw the group as a whole stand together for the last time in a commencement exercise. Some of these students will continue on in higher institutions of learning, some will enter the fields of commerce and industry, and others will go into the arts. Despite their varied futures how- ever, the members unite in their glorious past. Their two years at Compton are now pleasant memories, to cherish, to remember. Thirteenth Year Class Unusual this year is the fact that the class of 193 7 is the larg- est group in the history of the school with members from all parts of the United States, and some from Japan, Hawaii, the Philippines, British Columbia, Germany, and England. Outstanding among the women of the class were Pearl Cozens, Los Angeles Athletic Club star and a promising Olympic- swimmer and diver; Betty and Erma Brown, Florence Kil- patrick, and Isabel Smith for respectively walking off with the school spirit jobs of drum majors and song leader. With capable advisers. Miss Helen Jeffries and Dr. Dewey Duncan, combined with the leadership of President Yorston and his able assistants, the class of 193 7 has established an interesting record. CLASS OFFICERS Richard Yorston, President; Charles Dye, Vice-President; Isabel Smith, Secretary; Samuel Edwards, Treasurer. Charles Dye Samuel Edwards Isabel Smith Richard Yorston Thirteenth Year Class Coming up from the Compton lower division ranks, Dick Yorston captured the presidency of the thirteenth year class and capably led it through a busy year. Under him, many things were accomplished. The main issue of importance to the group which concerned the entire student body was the gala Junior Prom, held in the beautiful Pasadena Civic Auditorium on June 9. Bur- ton Morse ' s orchestra, the student ' s favorite swing band, was featured. The thirteenth year class has been one of the most active in the school, its members having taken part in practically all campus organizations. Outstanding in athletics by being runner-up in the intra-mural basketball championship and revealing considerable flash in football, their ability is exemplified in such players as Zip Kennedy, Steve Belko, and Pierce Firanzi. 108 ittfcW Lower Division Twelfth Year Class On the threshold of a junior college career is a class which, if judged by past accomplishments, bids fair to become one of the greatest classes in junior college history. Champing at their bits and waiting for the day when their upper divi- sion work will begin are scholars, athletes, and thespians — in short, a composite body of students with a wide range of accomplishments and goals. Already in the limelight as a result of lower division accomp- lishment are the Vox Players with their fine record of play presentation, the Shakespearian contestants who placed so high in inter-school competition, the prize winners in the fall oratory contest, a wide host of accomplished musicians, and a majority of the Mimirathenians, lower division schol- arship group. In the field of livelier arts are men who have competed on the school track, cross-country, baseball, basketball, and foot- ball teams, and have carried the name of Compton to victory in state, league, and local championshi ps. Soon to be augmented with the pick of other schools within the huge junior college area, the class is certain to be great. lack Ramsaur Chaffee, Treasure CLASS OFFICERS President; Lorraine Hines, Secretary; Ralph Rilph Chaffee CO CE Alice Adams Carl Alleman Frank Amemiys Blaine Anderson Bessie Armstrong Geraldine Atclmi: Mary AulrJ Carole Ausmai Arthur Austin Stanley Aylmer William Bailey Ted Baldwin Manuel Banda William Banda Jasper Barnes Frances Harriett Verndene Bean Jeanctte Beheau Roland Belben Manuel Betance Betty Black Howard Branson Mary Boone Allen Clark Betty Brisby Roy Brockman Edward Brooks az Mary Brnoks Don Brown Warren Brown Wilma Browncll Win f red Burkhardt John Bushy William Bustrum Gladys Campbell Walla Campbell Calvert Carico — Catherine Casey Lynn Castro Patricia Caylor Ralph Chaffee Genvieve Young Maxine Chamberlain Leon Chavez Robert Chilcott Beverly Chr Helen Civitelii Margaret Cleland Norman Cockshut Melba Codlin Bill Compton Thomas Coombes Eleanor Coonradt Ruth Corning senioRS 1 36 o I CO en Virginia Force Phelan Foley lames Frank Barbara Frankli Bert Freer Dick Fukuyama Elroy Fuller Charles Garrett Jear Leona Gayle Lynn Gentry Donald Gerken Lawrence Goltra Annie Gonzales Lawrence Gonzale Marjorie Goyette Marvin Graham Ichero Haijima Neal Hailstone Betty Hale Frank Hamilton Ruth Harrison Robert Harryman Marie Hart Leslie Hayes Charlene Hnyhurst Charlaine Hedrick Ellery Hemming Clyde Hines Martha Herring Virginia Jordan Richard Kalayjian Toshiko Kanamaru senioRS 1936 o CE x Annie Kasper Ayame Kawano Max Kearley Margaret Keelan Merle Kehl Jewell Kelsey Marjorie Kenfield Milton Kennedy Robert Kiskadden Shigeru Kiyomur.

Edwin Comstock Mark Y, Mary Lou Lance Emma Ruth Higley •i Eleventh Year Class Much of this fine spirit of loyalty and cooperation evidenced by the Freshmen is due largely to the efforts of the Freshmen Service Club. This organization was created to fill a long felt want, and its membership has been selected from among the outstanding graduates of the junior high schools in the Compton school district. The Service Club has done fine work in dispelling the erst- while tendencies toward sectionalism on the part of the students coming from the different junior high schools, and has helped to mould this Freshman class into a group which will be well able to carry on the spirit and traditions of Compton. 125 m 4 They are the stuff heroes were made of. They grappled with lions for sport, then. Now they throw things at each other, kick each other, fight with each other, yell at each other — all in fun. And the sun tans their bodies and toughens their hides. Time steps aside to present, ladies and gentlemen: The Athletes. 2ook 4 i Athletic Summary The 1936 athletic season was noteworthy and unique for to two reasons: first, the Tartars completed a free-lance schedule for the first time in history; second, this year a new head foot- hall and basketball coach, Gordon Clark, was added to the staff. If popular opinion could be taken as a criterion, it is s; unlikely that Compton will rejoin the Metropolitan division, ,1 for this season was a tremenduous success both from the standpoint of schedules and popularity with Compton sup- porters. All of the teams engaged in competition with for- midable contenders that they could not have met had they been members of the conference. The turnout and enthus- m iasm shown were far above par. ii- The caliber of teams that Compton has been noted for in the past was much in evidence this year. A light but hard fighting football team finished the season with only three ie defeats to mar their record. The basketball team surprised ,f even their most optimistic supporters by coming out with a 1; .500 average. At the present writing, track and baseball ' d have not been completed, but both teams have equaled the record of their championship predecessors by defeating some oi the best squads in Southern California. , t Man agers Paul Albert F. Browneli Ross Bunker George Couzens Roy Herbold Howard Lamfcin Johnnie Leisure D.ck Smith Truman Mctcalf Perhaps the most thankless and most indispensable position on a team are those of student managers, those over-burd- ened men who arrange the thousand and one details so nec- essary for a sport event. The last athletic season found several managers performing their duties unshirkingly. Football managers were: upper division, John Leisure; lower division, Bernard Fishel; bas- ketball, Fred Browneli; track and cross country, George Cozens; baseball, Howard Lambkin and Truman Metcalf; tennis, Paul Albert and Roy Herbold. Assistants to these head managers were: Bob Whittington, Clyde Wood, A. V. Nealey, Thagard Rahn, Sam Rossi, Ernest Cam, Kenneth Mays, Warren Henderson, Grant Schumann, Ross Bunker, Dick Smith, and Jim Davitte. These men received the same, well-deserved awards as the players on the teams they managed. Tartar Coaches Gordon Clark Charles Suggett . C. Football, Basketball J. C. Baseball Al Plaehn Line, J. C. Football Earlc R. Pine Director of Athletics With the addition of Coach- es of outstanding ability to those already recognized as leading authorities in their profession, Compton had the enviable reputation of being represented by one of the mos: formidable staffs of any school of its kind in the state. With Gordon Clark as head football and basketball coach, teams in those divisions re- ceived some of the sports knowledge that won for him everlasting fame on the Uni- versity of Southern Califor- nia ' s great teams of the past. Under the direction of Earle Pine, director of athletics, the rest of the staff consisted of Al Plaehn, football line coach; Ed Suggett, football backfield coach and head baseball coach; Herschel Smith, track and cross country; Grafton Paul, crew; and Gordon Oakeshott, tennis. The lower division mentors were: Earl Holmes- football; Rod Lee, basketball; Ernest Hartmann, track and cross country; Frank Powars, base- ball; Al Smith, tennis; and Grafton Paul, crew. Compton enjoyed one of its most successful seasons and a reason for this is the expert tutelage given the athletes by this sterling group of sports authorities who imparted some of their skill to the embryonic athletes now competing for Compton. Rod Lee L. D, Basketball Yell Leaders and Song Leaders MilMcent Lincoln Isabel Smith Under the efficient and capable leadership of the diminutive sorrel top, Kermie Anderson, the Compton rooting section reached its highest ebb in many years. Anderson, who has been almost an institution at C omp- ton with his sparkling personality and yell leading ac- tivities, organized and directed the rooters in his own inimitable style. In addition to Anderson, three of Compton ' s com- liest misses, Delma Lloyd, Millicent Lincoln, and Isabel Smith aided and abetted Compton enthusiasm by lead- ing songs during football season and assemblies. 130 VAK5IIT liKIUUtKS IN UPSET VICTORY OVER ERESNO 8-6 riguez led a sustained drive from the middle of the field to the two yard line where he went over.

This season was so suc- cessfull from the standpoint of teams played and enthusiasm shown that it is probable Compton will continue the pol- icy of remaining outside the present league. Greeted by nearly 6,000 widely enthus- iastic spectators, Compton opened the season against the powerful San Ber- nardino Indians, and after outplaying them most of the game were defeated 14 to 6. Although they made almost twice as many yards as the Indians, lack of a scoring punch spelled defeat in the end. The Tartars scored first when Rodriguez tossed a perfectly executed pass to Walters, end, who ran 3 5 yards to a score. The first San Berdoo score came in the first quarter when Rodriguez allowed the slippery ball to ooze through his fingers over the goal where he fell on it for two points for the Indians.

D ivision a a =5 Emmett St. Marie Charles Cake ton ' s 17 yard line, the Tartars were penalized 15 yards. On the next play the Indians passed to a score. A short drive netted the final score. Although outgained and playing in the shadow of their own goal posts most of the game, a fighting band of Tartars refused to submit to a powerful Ventura pass- ing attack and went on to win 2 to in the most bitterly fought battle in many years. In the third quarter Ed Zwaschka, running guard, broke through the line and blocked a Pirate kick. The ball bounced off Zwaschka ' s chest and rolled into the end zone where Steve Belko fell on it for a safety and two points. The Tartar line hurled back three Ventura drives deep into Compton territory and prevented any Pirate scoring. Against Fresno State frosh the powerful Tartar team after a long trip found its attack successfully checked by the Raisin City men, but in the last quarter with the score 6 to against them came through with 8 points and victory. With the ball in possession of Fresno on their own 20, they lost 15 yards in two running plays. Then Hank Weedn blocked a Fresno punt which was recovered by Fresno on the three yard line. On the next attempted punt Weedn again broke through and blocked the punt which rolled over the goal line for a safety and two points. With five minutes to play, a drive by Kennedy to the 25 yard line, and a pass to Walters, ended the scoring for the day. Capitalizing on a long pass and blocking a punt for a safety, Compton defeated Pasadena junior college by a score of 8 to 0. In the first quarter, after an exchang? of punts, Homer Zip Kennedy fired a beautiful pass i mm. Kennedy about to be tackled by Loyola linema to Dick Roberts who smashed his way to the three yard line. Kennedy, on two-line bucks, carried it over. Eaton ' s try for a conversion went wide. A block- ed punt in the latter part of the game by Hank Weedn netted two mor: points, and for the remainder of the game Compton protected her slender lead. The game ended with the Tartars in possession of the ball on Pasadena ' s 10 yard line after Kennedy had kicked out of bounds on the Bulldog one inch line. Running up against the hardest compe- tition thus far in the season, Compton upset the U.S.C. Spartans for a fourth consecutive victory by a score of 13 to 6. The first score came after a sustained drive featured by Dick Rodriguez, from the middle of the field to a score. Pat Eaton ' s conversion was good. A kick partially blocked by Walters was caught by Dave Mushakian who carried the ball to the seven yard line. Homer Ken- nedy on a series of line plays carried the ball over. A beautiful pass attack that the Tartars were not able to cope with netted the Spartan score. As usual -■■« ■ ■ ivision a a Louis La Form Homer Kennedy the Compton line was heavily outweighed but the team acquited itself admirably and played the Spartan line oft its feet. Flashing a bewildering pass attack and capitalizing on a blocked punt, the Taft Cougars halted Compton ' s win- ning streak by a score of 20 to 13. Although they out- gained the Cougars 1 1 first downs to five, the tricky Taft razzle-dazzle offensive and a poor pass defense ruined the Tartar ' s chance for victory. Homer Kennedy and Wesley Cox featured the Compton attack by their passing combination and continually kept the Cougars in hot water though they were unable to provide a mar- gin of victory. They were a dangerous threat through- out the entire game, however. Taft scored all of its points in the first three minutes of play on passes and blocked punts. Compton scores came after a pass attack and a sustained drive. Giving an exhibition of power with which their oppon- ents were unable to cope, the Tartars decisively beat Oceanside junior college 33 to 6. Held to a 7 to 6 score in the first half, the Tartars bombarded the Oceanside goal line for 26 points in the final period. Kennedy, St. Marie, Twombly, Rodriguez, and Mushakian each cross- ed the goal line for touchdowns while Pat Eaton conver- ted three times to account for the Compton scores. Bob Peterson, Oceanside ' s back, intercepted Nick Budin- cich ' s pass and ran 60 yards for Oceanside ' s lone tally in the most sensational play of the game. This game wen for the Tartars the title of free lance Champion in Southern California jaysee circles. It was their fifth tri- umph of the season. In the season final against Loyola University frosh, the Tartars apparently had victory in their grasp only to Belko tackles Wacheen of Taft jaysee. James Twombly Nicholas Budincich Dale Cosgray have it snatched from them by the tim- er ' s gun. The score was Loyola, 14, Compton, 0. Compton was on the short end of a 7 to score when a drive brought them to Loyola ' s 13 yard line. Before a touchdown could be made, the half ended. In the last guarter, a des- perate drive engineered by Dave Mush- akian brought the ball inside the two yard line where it was first down and goal to go. At that point the gun sound- ed ending the game. This event ended the football careers at Compton J.C. for Captain Carl Rahn, Ed Zwaschka, Dick Rodriguez, Dick Roberts, Pat Eaton, Jim Twomblyi Emmett St. Marie, and Dale Cosgray. Next year Compton will be represented on the gridiron by a team that may equal their predecessors in speed and strength. With eight lettermen already versed in Coach Clark ' s style of play returning to form a nucleus, and many great pros- pects coming from other schools, the Tartars will have a well balanced squad replete with individual stars. Of the eight returning players, two are backs and the remainder line men. Pa! Eaton pulls Taft backfield man down. ivision a Among them are many who provided thrills for the Compton grid enthusiasts by their sensational type of play. With one year of college competi- tion under their belts, these men will not be setups for any team they may face during the following season. Those returning next year to compete for Comp- ton are Homer Kennedy, brilliant quarterback who is expected to be the spark-plug and bear the brunt of the attack, Hank Weedn, outstanding tackle and kick blocker deluxe whose ability to knife through the line and block punts led to many Compton scores, Carl Hanson, husky tackle and powerful defense man, David Mushakian, who with Kennedy will do the major part of the ball carrying from his fullback post, Steve Belko, on: of the greatest ends that ever played at Compton, Charles Cake, this years understudy to Rahn and next year to be a stand-out at center, Wallace Aus- trian, behemoth tackle and a tower of strength on this year ' s team, Lloyd Newgren, also 193 5 first string player who will provide strength at one of the guard positions, and Bruce Martin, who will fill in at the other guard post. All of these men played a major part in Compton ' s victories this year and if all live up to their expecta- tions, the Tartars will have little to worry their football team next year. nedy heaves long one pan Loyola defe One of the most difficult jobs on the en- tire team was capably filled by John Leisure, that of manager. Leisure had as his assistants Clyde Whittington and Clyde Wood. These men took care of all the little details that arise during the game as well as arranging for transporta- tion of players and equipment and aid- ing in the conditioning of the men be- fore a game by rub-downs. A great deal of credit is due them for the excellent way in which they efficiently fulfilled the duties of their positions even though it occupied much of their week-end and after school time. David Mushakian Wallace Austrian Ed Zwaschka Kennedy circles Loyola right end for big gain SBm ' vision Football Without a single returning letterman, Coach Goldie Holmes ' lower division varsity went through an unsuc- cessful season to land in the cellar position. Coach Holmes ' brightest prospects were lettermen from the 1934 middleweights who were: Al Marone, Joe Marr, Harvey Johnson, and Jack Ramsaur. Other turnouts from the various junior highs were present to aid in forming a fairly balanced team. Compton lost its opening game to Santa Monica when the Samohians, led by George Sims, fleet negro half- back, romped to a 45 to O score. Sims started the game by taking the ball from the kick-off and racing 90 yards through the entire Compton team for the first tally. Other scores soon followed and the Tartars found them- selves being swamped without much to do about it. The Samohians displayed a well balanced squad with speed, deception and power the main factors in their strong showing. The loss of Al Marone, ace Tartar halfback, who was injured early in the game, weakened the Comp- ton team considerably. Harvey Johnson, midget signal caller, also was taken later from the game with a shoulder sprain, completely disabling the Tartar squad. Coach Holmes soon recognized Compton ' s inferiority in com- parison with the invaders and therefore gave his reserves a great deal of service which accounted to some extent for the largeness of the score. Redondo, winner of the Bay League championship las: year, and with most of its regulars back, gave Compton its second defeat with a 26 to 6 win over the Tartars. The Colmer brothers, Mickey and Milton, were the main reasons for Redondo ' s victory. Mickey scored in n-i o P ; PL£M Mf C Compton lower dh the first period on a long drive in which he carried the ball over from the 25 yard line. Milton scored in the last quarter on a thrilling 88 yard run to cinch the game for the Sea Hawks. Ace Brodhagen, sub backfield man, scored the lone touchdown by plunging over from the two yard mark after Gassman, quarterback, had passed to Marone and then taken a lateral from him to carry the ball to the four yard line. Gassman ' s passing ability was brilliant as six of his four- teen passes were completed for goal gains. The Tartar ' s only other advantage was in first downs in which they outgained their rivals eight to six. Unable to stop the backfield combination of Boone, Sparling, Hyduke, and Frank, Compton was defeated by Inglewood with a score of 35 to in its next encounter. All of the Sen- Collins Sand Ramsaur Broadhagc Rockefeller Couse tinel ' s scoring resulted through line plays. The Tartars threat- ened many times but lacked the final punch and lost the ball on downs most of the time. Al Marone was the outstanding individual star for the Tartars, making most of the yardage and thrilling the spectators with his brilliant running. Rocke feller, Mathis, and Gassman were also prominent in th : Compton line-up. Attempting to win their first victory, the Tartars met Bev- erly Hills, new entrant to the Bay League, but again were trodden on with a score of 18 to 7. The varsity scored its only touchdown early in the last period when Rockefeller, back- field man, crossed the Norman ' s goal line after a drive which netted the Tartars 45 yards. Joe Marr, sub fullback, made the extra point on a pass from Johnson. Marone, sensational hilfback, played his usual outstanding game and his spectac- ular pass receiving, blocking- and offensive work provided Divi vision most of the thrills for the Compton fans. A trio of back- field aces, Nicholson, Ferrell, and Brooks, gave the Bev- erly Hills team its touchdowns, and together made al- most all of the Normans ' yardage. Compton met the Wilson gigolos next and was given another setback. The Long Beach players, noted for their dancing ability, clicked just enough to jig to two touchdowns before the Tartars tightened up and held the advantage the rest of the game although they did not score. The Varsity played its best game of the sea- son but bad breaks at inopportune times hampered the team from winning its first victory. Marone, Couse, and Mathis all played excellent ball for the fighting, luck- less Tartars. Another new entrant to the Bay League, Hoover High of San Diego, trounced the Varsity 46 to in the last game of the season. Wieland Collins, heretofore un- heard of substitute fullback, stole the show for the Tar- tars with his fine offensive and defensive work. Collins also scored a touchdown by intercepting a pass, only to have it called back because of a penalty. Marone and Johnson both gave good accounts of themselves, the former playing a clever offensive and defensive game, and the latter stood out as the best punter and passer. Hoover High finally won the Bay League championship by defeating both Santa Monica and Inglewood in thrilling and close battles. Ken Mathis, dependable guard, was elected Tartar Captain at the end of the season. Sims of Santa Monica tackled by Al Mc The first practice game was with South Gate, member of the Marine League, favored easily to defeat the Tartars; but the Holmes-men played exceptionally good ball and held the Ramblers to a scoreless tie. The highlight of the game came when Gassman, sub quarter, received a punt on his own 2 5 yard mark and behind perfect interference ran down the sidelines for a touchdown only to have it called back because the referee claimed he stepped out of bounds in mid field. Murray Comstock, Rockefeller, and Gassman were the new po- tential stars uncovered in this first game. Another upset occurred when the Varsity met Excelsior in another practice game and held a supposedly stronger team to a scoreless tie. Compton came close to scoring in the first quarter when Johnson, on an end run, was about to be tackled, later- aled to Marone in mid-field, and Al carried the ball down to the 20 yard line before being stopped. The team seemed to be jinxed, and the referee again called the ball back to mid-field where Johnson had lateraled because he stated that the ball had been out of motion at this spot. Marone, Mathis, and Johnson stood out for Tartary. Di vision 5 f t-§:t - r- ..♦. t MMj tpSSNEt ■ Compton lower division bee football squad. Bee Football . . . . Under the capable hands of Coach Hershel Smith, and led by Captain Harry Parsons, the middleweights went through an undefeated league season, ending with four wins and one tie for a percentage of 900. Coach Smith started practice without any lettermen and built a team mostly of junior high turn-outs who went on to win the Bay League title. Upsetting Santa Monica for the first time in three years, the Middleweights won their first victory 7 to 6. Compton scorded first on a cleverly excuted hideout play in the sec- ond quarter, when Baker, right half, received the pass from Parsons and ran 21 yards down to Samohils five yard line. Parsons took it over on the first attempt, and also scored the extra point through tackle, to account for Compton ' s winning tally. Baker, Henderson, and Gamble all played excellent ball for the Tartars. This close victory proved to ' i$ ? £ m ? - ' ' Harry Parsons ready to plunge through Glcndale line. be the deciding point in winning the championship for Tar- tary as the Samohians also went through the rest of the sea son undefeated. Compton gave Redondo a 25 to trouncing in the next game with Haddock, fullback, doing most of the ball carrying. Van- derford, Tartar end. made possible the first touchdown when he fell on a fumble on the opponents ' 20 yard line. Haddock scored after two attempts through the line. He again scored early in the second quarter after Knapp and Parsons had advanced the ball down to the two yard line. Houdek and Vanderford accounted for Compton ' s remaining two scores. Outstanding players of the game were Knapp, Rake, and Knowles. Aided by Pierce, end, and Baker, half, the former falling on Knapp ft |F tf 4 i Vanderford H a fumble on the opponents ' three yard stripe, with the score tied at 6 all, and the latter making the winning touchdown on a reverse from the three yard line, Compton won its third straight victory 1 2 to 6 from Inglewood. Parsons scored the other touchdown on a 60 yard drive and also revealed fine leadership at his signal-calling post. Vanderford, Baker, and Ralls also played a good game for Tartary. Beverly Hills was the next victim of the championship-bound Tartar Babes when Compton won by a score of 1 3 to 6. Had- dock passed from the 1 5 yard mark to Baker on the five, who ran the remaining distance for the first score of the game. The second tally was made by Haddock on a 14 yard run through center. In the second half, Compton settled down to keep the Normans from scoring and succeeded until the last Division © few minutes of play, when the Beverly Hills team completed a long pass for a lone touchdown. Hoover high, unable to journey to Tartary, forfeited the next game and gave Compton its fourth straight victory. With the championship cinched, the B s met Wilson and played to a 6 to 6 tie. Compton scored first on a cleverly ex- ecuted pass from Parsons to Gamble in the first quarter. Wil- son tied the score late in the second quarter on a 60 yard drive. Both teams failed by inches to make their extra point trys on center plunges. Baker, Vanderford, and Thorn all played good ball, both on defense and offense. Southern California Play-off Boasting a string of six victories and one tie, without a de- feat, Compton met Glendale in the first play-off game for the Southern California title and was given a 14 to 6 setback. Glendale scored first on a long drive, and Compton retalia- ted with a long pass to set the score at 7-6 for the Bucs. Glen- dale ' s second touchdown was made in the last few minutes of play on another long drive to give Compton its first defeat and put the Tartars out of the running for the Southern California trophy.

With a new coach and no returning lettermen around which to build a nucleus, the team faced seemingly insurmountable obstacles and came through in a fashion that earned for them the distinction of being one of the hardest competitors for opposing squads. Belko Dribbles Path Though Santa A, Gordon Clark, erstwhile football coach, forsook his gridiron activities to take over the spot vacated by Mike Mason, last year ' s basketball mentor. The success of the squad is an in- dication of his ability. At the first of the season Clark ' s ma- terial consisted of unknown players, and from them he select- ed a squad and tutored them into a smoothly functioning unit. Following Clark from the gridiron farfare into the casaba sport was Steve Belko, high scorer and outstanding player on the team. Much of the success of the team was due to his brilliant floorwork and in a majority of the games he was the most dangerous man on the floor. At the opposite forward of Belko was Hugh Lang, who scintillated on offense by his Lang Skalla accurate passing to key men. In several games Lang proved to be an excellent shot by capturing high point honors. Robert Hill, center, was also used as a feeder for the high scoring forwards as well as to provide defensive strength. The unsung heroes of the team were big Harry Skalla and Bob Smoke Whitfield, stellar guards of the Compton aggrega- tion who were the bulwark of the defense and whose plays many times proved to be the difference between victory and defeat for the Tartars. ivision a a ID Hill Takes Tip Off from the Do The first game of the season proved to be disappointing to Compton supporters. A powerful Pasadena quintet decisively trounced the Tartars. The next night, however, Compton up- set all predictions by defeating Riverside. The Tartars then lost to Santa Ana by an extremely small margin, and then to redeem themselves defeated both Pomona and Taft in hard fought contests. The next three games found the Tartars facing three of the most powerful teams in their respective divisions, U.S.C. frosh, Ventura jaysee, and U.C.L.A. frosh; as a result Compton lost all three, none of them, however, by a very large mangin. After being defeated by U.C.L.A., the Tartars hit their mid- season peak and swept through Riverside, Oceanside, Po- mona, and Santa Ana jaysee without a loss but were unable to hold their pace and dropped the final games of the season to Ventura and the Trojan frosh. Although the team had a fairly successful season according to games won and lost, it served the more important purpose of building up a squad for next year which may be destined to equal the phenomenal record of last year ' s wonder team, the Southern California champions. With practically the en- Harvey tire squad returning and all of them acquainted with Coach Clark ' s system, prospects for another championship team are unusually bright. Letter winners for the current season include: Steve Belko, Hugh Lang, Robert Hill, Harry Skalla, Bob Whitfield, How- ard Miller, Jim Murdock, Wesley Cox, Preston Kyle, Bob Hedrick, and Richard Harvey. The team was managed by Fred Brownell. ivision o Basketball With pre-division dope placing Coach Rod Lee ' s Varsity in a highly favorable position to annex the Bay League crown, casaba hopes ran high this season until the Maroon and Gray quintet concocted a superiority complex, known in athletic fields more commonly as cockyness, and dropped four our of six games. Only two returning lettermen, Al Knapp and Truman Kirkland, were present from last year ' s team, but with an army of former junior high stars and members from the 193 5 championship B team, Compton ' s chances looked very bright for the season. Paddy Caudillo, veteran casaba shooter who took charge of the pivot position was the main feeder of the squad along with being one of the high scorers of the season. Mark HHI Chavez Make; Field Goal Against Beverly Hills Yorston and Leon Chavez, both of whom were members oi previous championship teams, formed the forwards combin- ation that was equal to any in the Bay League. Al Knapp and Truman Kirkland, veteran guards who kept care ol tin- defensive activities of the team, also were scoring threats. Other capable players were Harvey Johnson, Ed Comstock, Jim Rockefeller, Johnny Gassman, and Jack Ramsaur. Compton ' s only victories were with Beverly Hills and Ingle- wood. Playing a tight game, the Tartars beat the Beverly Hills team 12-14 in a slow contest with Chavez making li;ill of Compton ' s points. Led by Johnson and Chavez, who scored nine points each, the Varsity beat Inglewood for the other win of the season. Redondo, Hoover High, Wilson, and Santa Monica were the teams who were victorious over the Tartars. Deserving of the honor, Paddy Caudillo was elected captain at the end of the season. Knapf ivision o Bee Basketball With Captain Mickey McGuire the only returning letter- man to greet him, Coach Pop Powars, veteran middle- weight casaba mentor, built a team mostly out of former junior high players and members of last year ' s C team. The middleweights had a fairly successful season, ending with a percentage of .500. McGuire was the mainstay of the team at forward, maintain- ing a 10 point average per game and gaining high scoring honors for the season. Along with McGuire was Martinez, tricky and fast forward. Roach At the center position was Buck Knapp, tall, sharp-shooting ace, who played a good game during the enure season. Roach and Baker were the defensive men for the team. The second string was composed of Pierce and Jones, for- wards- Varner, center; and Dunn and Stenvall, guards This combination was almost as strong as the first String and saw action in almost every game. Jones mmt mmamt ivision o Cee Basketball Giving the junior high transfers a chance to train for the middleweight team next year was the main object when Coach Baird issued the call for C class basketball players this season. Many promising casaba shooters were uncovered from the various junior highs among whom were Norman Slick, Deadeye Eastwood, and Bill Dummitt. The team was composed of Slick and Eastwood, forwards; Archimbault, center; and Dummitt and Wilier, guards. Subs who saw service were: Stephen, Arozena, Atkinson, Bent- ham, Stephenson, and Smith. Showing their power the Cee ' s defeated the Lynwood junior high lightweights in a practice game, 47 to 8. Norman Slick was unamiously elected Captain at the end of the season. Top Row — Caro, Arozena, Archambault, Smith, Stevens, Baird. Bottom Row — Eastwood, Dummitt, Slick, Wilier, Bentham. E LUIIipiUll 11 .

Except for a heartbreaking defeat by the powerful Pasadena junior college outfit, the Compton string of victories was unbroken in junior college competition. The team consisted not only of great individual stars but also of general well-balanced strength with only a few weak spots. Coach Herschel Smith abetted his position as one of South- ern California ' s best mentors by developing the men to new heights. fj , F Captain Stalmack Skinner Hurdles, Javelin Century, Broad Jump sh of Century at Rr J qm± ' .; Stalmack Leads the Field at Riverside Thus far this season the Tartars have lost only two meets, one to Pasadena and the other to a four year school, San Diego State College. In the win column, Compton can point to a victory over Riverside junior college by a score of 80 to 51, Santa Bar- bara State College, 85 Vl to 45 4, and Loyola University by the huge margin of 106 to 25. These scores have showed the marked superiority the Tartars have had over their oppo- nents and indicate their rank with other two year schools. The success of the team is even more remarkable because of the fact that several star performers who were rated as almost | - | certain first place winners failed to show up. Had these nun competed as expected the local team would have been invin- cible without any weak spots and with outstanding men in every event. The 1936 aggregation, however, was not a push-over to any team. Ray Stalmack, elected by last year ' s team to captain the current squad, lived up to all expectations for a promising future. In practically every meet he took three first places, excelling in his specialty, the low hurdles, which he ran a few tenths of a second slower than the world s record. His marks Di vision a a for the high hurdles and the javilin established him as one or the outstanding track men to represent the Tartars in his- tory. Compon boasts of having not only the best performer in junior college ranks but one of the best in the United States in the person of Adrian Davis, discus hurler. Davis exceeded the school and Metropolitan division discus record by eight feet, throwing the platter 157 feet. This mark established him as a strong Olympic contender. Another performer was Russell Huffine, diminutive high jumper who far exceeded his height in jumping well over six feet when pressed. Bill Jones, half mile ace, except for his defeat in the Pasadena meet, garnered his share of points during the season. r,f ■ v Huffine Wins High Jump Against Bengals ill Jones Places Second in 880 Against Pasadena The Tartars opened their season by entering a team in the Long Beach Relay Carnival. A prospective Olympic hope was uncovered in this meet. Adrian Davis, giant discus hur- ler, threw the platter 157.37 feet to smash the former con- ference record by eight feet and placed second to U. S. C. ' s Ken Carpenter. The four-man mile relay team composed of Bill Smith, Captain Ray Stalmack, Roy McClellan, and Hu- bert Luck added to Compton ' s laurels by winning this event in extremely fast time. Against San Diego State the Tartars, hit by ineligibilities and injuries, lost a tough 73 to 58 meet in a mild upset. After sweeping both sprints the Tartars fell down in the distance races to lose several expected points and victory. Bill Smith, Compton ace sprinter, captured both the 100 and 220 to tie for high scoring honors with Ad Davis of Compton and Durbin and McPhie of the Staters. Captain Ray Stalmack arose to new heights against Santa Barbara State by capturing the high hurdles, low hurdles, taking second place in the javelin, and running a lap on the winning relay team as the Tartars trampled the State squad ivision a 87 ' 4 to 43 ! 4 . Millard Wildman pulled a surprise by win- ning both sprints on a slow track, while Ad Davis won the shot and his specialty, the discus, to tie for second place in scoring honors. Due to the fact that the Tartars won 1 1 out of 15 events, this victory ranked them as one of the best small college teams in the state when they were in top shape. Registering some of the best marks in jaysee circles, Comp- ton ' s star-studded track squad defeated Riverside 80 to 51. Stalmack exceeded all previous performances by setting a McClellan Takes Broad Jump new record of 23.6 in the low hurdles and winning the high hurdles and javelin. Ad Davis again showed he was the greatest jaysee discus star on the coast by hurling the platter 151 feet to easily win this event. In a hectic 880 duel Bill Jones nosed out Sinclair of Riverside to win. Running against their third four year institution, Compton completely routed Loyola university, sweeping five events and winning thirteen out of fifteen by a score of 106 to 25. Captain Stalmack again played the role of iron man by cap- turing three first places. The tying twins, Hubert Luck and Bill Smith, tied for first in both the 100 and 220 while Clyde r Frishholz trailed Stalmack in both hurdles and took third in the javelin. In a meet to decide the Southern California jaysee champion- ship, Compton lost a heart-breaking decision to Pasadena junior college, 7 Vi to 59 1 : . Mack Robinson, Bulldog sprinter, upset the dope by beating out Ray Stalmack in the low hurdles. In addition Robinson won the 220 and broad jump to capture high scoring honors. Stalmack was right behind him, however, with wins in both the high hurdles and javelin. Upsets in the 880 and two mile hurt the Tar- tar ' s chances a great deal, and had their performers come D ivision a a =5 through as expected the score might have been different. This is the first time Pasadena won in eight years. With Ray Stalmack and Dan Peterson heading the parade of Tartar first place winners, Compton defeated the strong U. S. C. frosh, 76 to 55. Stalmack continued his iron man per- formance by winning his usual three first places while Peter- son showed his heels to the Trobabes in both the mile and two mile runs. Milton Parsons, in the pole vault, Bill Jones, in the 880, Hubert Luck, in the 220, Damon Skinner, in the broad jump were other Tartars to score wins over the frosh. mm Parsons Pole vault, shot put Bill Smith Takes Second side ' s 21.7 Furlo ■ College Varsity Track Team Again placing second to the Pasadena Bulldogs, Compton gave a good account of itself at the Santa Barbara relays by scoring 1 7 points, four behind the leaders. Ad Davis reversed an early season defeat at the hands of Jaspar of U. S. C. frosh to win the discus and most of Compton ' s points. Ray Stalmack took fourth place in the low and high hurdles, the Compton relay team won, while McPhatter and Huffine took second and fourth respectively in the high jump. ft rb n Broad tump. 440 D ivision Q. a 3D Cross Country Climaxing the most brilliant cross country season in the his- tory of Compton junior college, the Tartar distance men won the annual A. A. U. cross country meet, the first time any junior college team has won the Southern California classic in the 13 years that the event has been run off. Led by the phenomenal performance of Seward Mounday, the Tartars compiled the lowest score in the history of the event with 3 7 points. During the course of the season, Compton defeated Roosevelt high, Pasadena junior college, Redlands university, U. C. L. A. in a double run, Riverside junior college, California A. C, Los Angeles junior college, and the Sherman Indians. Mounday proved to be the class of the state in the three and one-half mile event by defeating Eldridge Rice, erstwhile a Seward Mounday Places First In A. A. U. Me Tartar, and others who have gained a state wide reputation for running. In the A. A. U. meet, Mounday broke the tape; O ' Neill White placed third; Al Holland, fifth; and Peterson, ninth, outclassing their nearest competitors. Whereas in the past Compton led the class of cross country teams among junior colleges, last year winning permanent possession of the trophy, this year marked the first time the Tartars have showed supremacy over the larger four-year institutions. Next year ' s squad shows promise of being one of the best balanced in the Southland. Although the outstanding indi- vidual star, Mounday, will be lost, the returning lettermen stand a good chance of building up a team that will equal or be:ter the strength of this one. D ivision o Track With the usual poor turn-out for Varsity track confronting him, Ernie Hartmann built a squad out of the few prospects that answered the call to give a fair account for the team this year. Leading the list of returning lettermen were Captain Elmer Smith, miler, and Mark Yorston, shot putter and discus thrower. Captain Smith, be sides being cross country champ- ion of Southern California, won the Bay League finals in the Lower Division Truck Teem mile to add another medal to his credit this year. Mark Monster Yorston was one of the high point gainers of the team and surprised the dopesters by taking two seconds, one in the shot put, and one in the discus in the Bay League finals. Both of these tracksters are expected to return next year, Smith entering jaysee and reporting to Coach Smith, and Yorston answering Coach Hartmann ' s call again. Taking care of the dashes for Compton were Ace Brod- hagen and Ulysses Harris, B dash star, who ran in the Varsity meets when needed to garner first in either race. Smith Yo Division Sprinters Harris had the best times, traveling the century in 10.1 and the longer race in 22.5. Compton ' s best bet in the 440 yard run was majors, whose time of 54.2 won his letter and a share of the team ' s points. In the 880 Jack Hunter and Louis Finn gave good accounts of themselves and scored in almost every meet. 3 ■ Division o Elmer Smith was the best miier Compton has ever produced and he proved his ability by winning the finals of the Bay League. Smith ' s winning time in this meet was 4:36.2. Crebs and Frank Amemiya, another B who was used by Coach Hartmann for the Varsity, took care of the hurdles, the for- mer leaping the 70 yard highs in the good time of 10.2, and the latter running the 120 yard lows in 13.5, both for win- ning times in several meets. The field events were well represented by Yorston, Brooks, Crebs, White, Williams, Woods, and Atwood. Discus throw- ing and shot putting found Yorston and Brooks competing with Yorston having the edge in both events. In the pole vault, Crebs and Woods gave Tartary many points and both were good for 1 1 feet. Atwood and Brooks were the leaping boys for Compton and both made over 20 feet during the season. The Corny Johnson ' s were White and Williams who leaped the bar at the height of 5 feet 8 inches to insure several firsts for the varsity. The relay team which negotiated the 880 yard run in 1:3 5 was composed of Brodhagen, Crebs, Harris, and F. Amemiya. Due credit should be given to Coach Hartmann for his splen- did work in handling the varsity this year, and it is hoped that he will continue to put out the best that the yearly turn-outs offer. w . 1 11 iii Lower Division Cross Country After a mediocre dual meet season, the lower division cross country team upset all predictions and finished second in both the Bay League and Southern California cross country championship meets. Under the efficient tutelage of Coach Ernst Hartmann, the outstanding high school harrier in the south was developed at Compton, Elmer Smith. The star, equalling the record of Mounday, Jaysee ace, was undefeated in every meet in which he participated and capped a brilliant season by winning both the Bay League and Southern California finals. Next year the upper division team will be greatly augmented by Smith and other lower division stars who ran their last race for Compton high school. Only two men from this year ' s squad will return next year. D ivision o Bee Track Startling news to the effect that Ulysses Harris, star sprinter, had been declared ineligible because of amateur boxing competition knocked the Compton middleweights out of a tie for the championship with Santa Monica and Beverly Hills, landing them in third place with three wins and as many losses for a percentage of .500. Two close meets were forfeited because the difference of 10 points which the sprint- er had scored gave the opposing school the meet. Harris ' absence also spoiled the Tartars chance to win the Bay League finals as they had hoped. hilling the shoes of the dusky dash man was Kuwahara, who with times of 10.3 in the century, and 22.8 in the 220, helped the middies win their remaining league meets. Kuwahara entered the C class competition in the finals and copped two firsts, one in the 50 yard dash and another in the 120 yard low hurdles to give Compton its only points in that division. Lower Division Bee Track. Team Detwiler in the 660 yard run and Pierce in the 1320 were Compton ' s main threats in the longer runs with both having good times in their events. Captain George Amemiya and his brother Frank were the outstanding low hurdlers of the team, the latter capturing the Bay League finals in the 120 yard lows and the former winning most of the races during the season as his brother usually ran Varsity. Joe Morgan was the best high hurdler that Compton has had for several years and his time of 10 flat in the 70 yard highs was hard to beat by any opposing team. Morgan was also the best pole vaulter and high jumper, vaulting 1 1 feet 3 inches at his best and leaping 5 feet 8 inches over the bar in the high jump. Midget Iwamoto heaved the shot 45 feet during the season to place him with the best in the league. The broad jumpers were Jack Morrissey and Jim Atwood, both leaping around 20 feet.

Included among the Tartar ' s victims were Santa Bar- bara State College, champions of the Southern California collegiate conference, Fullerton junior college, champions of their division, and Loyola university varsity, one of the strongest teams of any college in California. These victories, including one over the other free lance school, Pasadena junior college, put the Tartar horse-hiders in a strong posi- tion as a claimant for the Southern California baseball champ- ionship. The Tartars opened the season by defeating Houghton Park, one of the fastest semi-pro nines in this area, by a score of 12 to 3. The National Baseball school reversed an early . ...i Captain Edg Charles White nC£ Bobby Edmunds Safe Against Santa Barbara season defeat by setting the Tartars back 4 to 6. However. Loyola university and Santa Barbara fell before the big bats of the Compton team in quick succession with respective scores of 6 to 5 and 9 to 4. Then the Tartars fell in a slump and dropped close games to Fullerton, to 2, and Pasadena, 2 to 5. Snapping out of their momentary lethargy, Compton s fight- ing team went into a winning streak that lasted the rest of the season except for a lone defeat at the hands of the U. S. C. freshman team. Montebello High provided little opposi- tion, losing 1 1 to 0. Then followed the strong Ventura junior college which lost 3 to 2. The Tartars kept up their terrific pace by setting back Santa Barbara state in a return game, 9 to 8, and Whittier college, 9 to 2. The Trobabes halted the wins by ekeing out a 2 to 4 victory. In a return game the frosh lost to Compton on a forfeit in the eighth inning, while Jordan high lost to the second string, 7 to 1.

Comp- ton was represented on the diamond by Tom Humphries, catcher; Carl Paxman, great hurler whose pitching was re- sponsible for many victories; Orlando Lightner, first base; Captain Ed McCormick, second; Max Weyrick, leading hitter, third; Charles White, left field; Hilario Aldape, center field; Henry Weedn, right field; and Dale Wolin, short stop. Next year, with only McCormick, Weyrick, Hallen, and Starkey graduating, the Tartar squad will likely become one of the strongest in history. Every position will have one or two lettermen returning. In addition to those already named, the following players received letters: Bobby Edmunds, Roy Midkiff. Clem Hooks, Harry Skalla, John Essick, Bob Whit- field, Charles Orpeyza, Joe Papaleo, Homer Kennedy, and Wesley Cox. Managers were Howard Lambkin and Truman Metcalf. Clem Hooks Rob Whitfield owcr IVISI on Baseball With the helping hand of Coach Pop Powars, the lower division base ball team which was captained by Gwyn Derrington and Harvey Johnson went through a mediocre season to end with two wins and three losses for a percentage of .400. Compton met Inglewood in its first encounter and easily won a 16 to 7 game. Chester Hart won hitting honors by polling out three singles for five trips to the plate. Haddock followed Hart with two walks, one triple and one double, besides stealing six bases, including home.

The Parson brothers accounted for both runs when Harry doubled to reach second, and Jack walked to reach first. Consecutive hits by Derrington and Haddock scored both men. Bobby Jones and Don Wolin handled the mound duties during the season with catcher Ralph Haddock calling the pitches. : ' mn -; Hart Raises Baiting Average Against Woodrow Wih JUniUK UULLtbt CR Start Trainiife forTitleJ9iar ' Mckedficom petition is so license mnat Alviser Chesley Isaacs exlressel the o; that several new Aces rmy be in the first shell li spi« of t turning ol all buftwo (f last first crew Coach l iraftonmm iicated that i Leonard Geisel, last year ' s stroke i and captain, would be in line ir Lindsey, John MacDonp jpon V -sf. members returning ihn MacDc fith, ' Milton Pinana Gordon Anderso. -V last year ' s high schv o e? leading candidate for o ' ° A i on the upper division sq .

The movement for extension of the crew program was given considerable impetus early in the month by its official adoption as a varsity sport. Continuing the work inaugurated in 193 5 by Hubert J. Ped- ersen, former manager of the student store, Ches Isaacs ably took up the interests of the crew. The support of Mr. Thompson and his staff was soli- cited with the result that gym credit, practice and racing equipment, trans- portation, locker facilities, and a coach were provided. Compton junior col- lege thus took a definite step in forwarding crew in Southern California. Practice was begun early in the school year with a surprising turn-out of one hundred and forty candidates, among whom were many men returning from the 1935 high school and junior college crews. Practice was held twice weekly at the Long Beach Marine Stadium and later extended to three days a week including Saturdays. Under the tutelage of Coach Grafton Paul the organization of teams was begun, and in February the squad was cut to fifty men, including two crews for each division. The ability and leadership of Leonard Geissel, stroke from the 1935 squad, was exceedingly apparent, and the confidence of the junior college crews was again placed in him by his re-election as captain. Captain Leonard Gei: Junior ( ' ollege I Compton crews have profited much from their relationship with Coach Ben Wallis and the U. C. L. A. squads. Invited several times in 1935 to partici- pate in their regattas, and later working with the Bruin crews at Catalina in the filming of Mutiny on the Bounty, a good spirit was further extended this season when U. C. L. A. donated to the Tartars the exclusive use of their shell the Poppy and eight racing blades. With the availability of another boat, practices were more strenuous, and the crews were better able to secure the much needed mileage in preparation for their races. Captain Geisel, McDonald and Hubbard ivision to a a ID rew Compton junior college opened its crew season on April 6 in the U. C. L. A. regatta. Racing for the first time over the standard collegiate sprint dis- tance of 2000 meters, the varsity was able to push the Bruin junior varsity oarsmen to a three length win, but the Tartar crew made six wins in a row over the hard pulling Long Beach junior colleg? boat. The rest of the season recorded three more wins over the Long Beach crew and undoubtedly entitled Compton to claim again the mythical J. C. Crew Championship of Southern California. Due to the sturdy stroking of the Compton shell by Captain Geissel and the conscientious work of Thompson (7), Hubbard (6), Johnson (5), Pinana (4), Biesada (3), Austin (2), Ostling ( 1 ) , and Coxswain Anderson, the varsity boat was able to threaten on several occasions, lowering its time below 7 minutes. :.• ■« « «5?J$H ??? « (? flLH . .

Tom Foye, as stroke, was able to lead his crew in providing thrilling competition for their opponents from Long Beach junior college. Rivalry for places in the boat was always stiff. Miller, Kengla, Vandette, Seim, McDonald, Willefred, Coon, Biglow, Keane, Griffith, the meandering coxswain Peterson, and manager Holmes each made a defi- nite contribution to crew. Junior Vanity Cr Di vision o Quality of material and earnestness must explain the reason for the success of this small but powerful crew. Hard and continued practice combined with the leadership of Cap- tain and stroke Merle Kehl aided in synchronizing the efforts of Matheo (7), Mahnken (6), Austin (5), Johnston (4), Harriman (3), Graham (2), Seaman (1), and coxswain Kay. This crew proved successful by so doggedly pressing Long Beach Poly throughout the whole season. Their efforts were climaxed in a victory over their worthy competitors. v 1 M M Lower Division Varsity Crer Squad Hea By Phil lit I MHO DLMItll With Phil Olson, outstj id turning letterman, jur y e teyis icj i ww ... .www—.— — £ ° Vej );_? .

Although only a relatively small but select group of court aspirants answered Coach Gordon Oakeshott ' s call for tennis recruits, the sport never- theless enjoyed a favorable season and held the spotlight of the lesser known sports. Starting the year with only three varsity players from last year ' s squad: Captain Phil Olson, Leonard Johnson and Allen McDaniel, the team received backing with the incoming of Roy Herbold, Dean Phillips, Roland Dorse, Bob Prescott and Bob Fenton and rounded into a well balanced squad. Without a doubt, Phil Olson, Cap- tain and outstanding returning let- terman, was the top performer of the squad. Olson ' s superiority in all-around play and exceptional ab- ility in handling overhead smashes stamped him a feared rival. Roy Captain Phil Olson Herbold, junior, ranked a close second on the squad and in addition to playing second to Olson in sin- gles, teamed with him to form an often winning doubles duo. Dean Phillips, Leonard Johnson and Allen McDaniel all ranked high on the team ladder and proved valuable point winners. Roland Dorse, Bob Prescott and Bob Fenton were the other reg- ular players while Paul Albert, Dan Dahlquist, Kenneth Fess and Frank Mowry filled in on ocas- Top Ron — Olson. Dorse, McDaniel Bottom Ron — Fenton, Herbold, Prescott After dropping one-sided tilts to Fullerton Jaysee, Orange Empire champions, and the U. C. L. A. Freshmen, the team went through the rest of the season on an even basis, winning and losing about the same number of times. They boasted wins over Oceanside junior college, Loyola University var- sity and U. S. C. Dental College as their outstand- ing victories. In a close battle the eight lost to the Championship University of Redlands team. 4 to 2. ivision o Tenni Showing their right to the leadership of the lower division tennis team, Co-captains Bert Freer and Archie Pahl won the Bay League doubles cham- pionship to climax a successful season. Pahl and Freer fought their way to the champion- ship with outstanding playing and were only de- feated once in the finals when they lost a closs match to the Wilson doubles team. Since Wilson had been defeated twice before, Compton ' s players were awarded the trophy. Coach Al Smith lined his team up as follows: Pahl and Freer, first doubles; McDaniel and McCaugn, second doubles; Blakely, first singles; Tracy, sec- ond singles; Peak, third singles; and Tomblin, fourth singles. H H Bottom Ro Top Row- eer, Evint ik, Tracy. In league competition, Inglewood was the first op- ponent and Compton was given an unexpected defeat, being on the short end of a 1 5 to 10 score. Matches won were by the first doubles, second and third singles players. Wilson barely won the next encounter, 13 to 12 with Pahl and Freer losing their first doubles to give the match to the Bruins. Compton won its first victory when they took Bev- erly Hills 16 to 9. Winning first doubles was the only success the tenniseers had when they met the strong Samohian team to make the final score 18 to 7 in favor of the invaders. Redondo beat Compton in the last match of the season with the locals garnering first and second doubles for 12 points to their oppo- nents 1 3 points for winning the rest. er UJJIia y By Mi I Nose Out KE A last minute rally on tl the Alpha Sigs prov- _ pa Epsilon, - $ tse r V Sport Schedule Following the sign ' 1 and teams for - ball last w- £y tioie •2: m « CW ' ttve« havt Uw f a cap- that if fmpetitior unti dtiJZ teams an treat will b( -io vjVvo S v t0 ,econd period =, a- le r 3 „,, J „ t.ec vvd u, . at  e teams are a a te i ickland and Angii to ,econd period; thin ( t o5 l e Ellogene Brown we o se- Gordon JOnes, am t -jvat the fourth peric tn° ve es- an Fielder, Fran Slaughter, ■« =- :=?= ;. tftetf l ,hea Morton an ifttftP ' if the fifth per folic ipto n stadj, e Pect« , tf e« 55- M u r a Intra-Mural Basketball . The Beta Phi social organization featuring several former low er division basketball stars clearly demonstrated its superiority over the rest of the teams entered by winning the basketball trophy in an open tournament. Going through a long season without a defeat the Beta Phi ' s went up against the strong thirteenth year team which also boasted of players from this and several other high schools from the surround- ing communities. The Beta Phi squad consisted of Jack Scott, former lower division basketball captain, Donald D. Dunbar, outstanding in high school, Jerry Grossman, also a former lower division Beta Phi Intra-Mural Basketball Champions captain, Dick Yorsron, outstanding center of a few years ago and prospect for next year ' s varsity basketball squad, Warren Lindsay, Lloyd Allen, Ted Keane, and Jack Walker, former varsity player from Narbonne high school. This out- fit took advantage of superior team work and experience, some players having played together as a unit before. As the annual goes to press the Beta Phi ' s have just won the intra-mural Softball crown. Intra-Mural Football Beta Pin. Kappa Epsilon play 0-0 Tie Beginning the intra-mural season that enabled the men stu- dents to do or die for their organizations, the football period ended with two social groups, Kappa Epsilon and Beta Phi, entering the playoffs. After four quarters of hard touch football marked by the intense rivalry of both teams, the game ended in a tie for the crown. Both squads featured a strong defense during the whole game and neither team could claim any advantage in superior ability. Several times during the contest both teams threatened to break the dead- lock, but their opponents tightened up and prevented the score. In order to insure fair competition varsity football pliyers were excluded from the eligibility lists. I j dl Kappa Epsilon Trounces Alpha Sr Mural Intercloss Pushball Kidnappings, riots, tug-of-wars and a bitterly fought foot- ball game featured the annual interclass day held at Comp- ton junior college. Star players on both football teams who were to appear in the feature of the afternoon wer2 spirited away by opponents and held without ransom, attempts at kidnapping being frustrated only by valiant fistic combat by assaulted parties. In the afternoon after a hectic day of tug-of-wars and gen- eral mayhem, the thirteenth year class football squad, led by players that will represent Compton on the gridiron next year, defeated the fourteenth year squad, made up of men who have played their last game for the Tartars, by a score of 13 to 7.

A jiO has  . v, e Q eS Aft Upper Division Basketball Basketball Basketball ushered in a very active year in sports for the Women ' s Athletic Association when many girls vied for positions on the class teams. After many hard battles the twelfth year group secured the much coveted title of undefeated champs. Players on this team were Edwards, Yoshihara, Jones, Naslund, Takahama, Hart, Lorn, Norris, and McDaniel. The victor is decided in all sports by a round robin of games. This favorite sport season was closed by a basketball spread for initiation and presentation of awards for athletic achievements. Division Basketball Te Upper Division Hockey Teams Hock ey Hockey is the sport in which speed and action arc uppermost. Due to well matched competition, the thirteenth and fourteenth year teams shared hon- ors as champions. Some of the outstanding players on the field were Mary Nan Gooch, Star Williams, Tommy Owens, and Louella Daetweiler. An added feature to the season was the Leap Year Playday given on February 29, at which Compton was hostess to Santa Ana, Fullerton, and Long Beach Junior Colleges. Hockey and tennis games were followed by luncheon and entertainment at Houghton Park. Hockey Teams Upper Dmsion I ' olleyball Squad Volleyball Many new serves and trick plays w ere used in this years ' volleyball games. A large turnout for practice every Tuesday and Thursday nights made com- petition extra strong and again the end of the round robin found two equally matched teams, the eleventh and thirteenth years claiming the right to be enthroned as school champions. It is by participating on these teams that awards are earned. The lower division awards are numerals, 250 points, C ' s, 600; upper division C ' s, 400, sweaters, 900, and additional stars, 100. Loner Division Volloyball Squad - grr::-.— ■ ™ ( r pc Tennis Squad I ennis The tennis season this year was one of the best. Many times our teams en- gaged in matches with other junior colleges and high schools. An inter- class tournament in which the thirteenth year soared to victory was one of the main attractions. The players on this team were: Daetweiler, first singles; Hunt, second; Owens and Hill, first doubles; Green and Shepard, second. There was also a fall elimination tournament in which Daets won the school singles championship and also was partner to Williams on the doubles team. I BCBEfifcTT iTrFFFrrT Lower Dv Squad Baseball eball S q Baseball, the last sport of the year, again revealed that it is still a favorite of many girls. The teams trekked to Fullerton to participate in a play day with other junior colleges where they displayed their ability as did the lower division in a play day at Whittier. Baseball season closed by a spread held at Banning Park at which installation of officers, presentations of awards, and initation took place. Badminton In addition to group activities, indi- vidual sports have come into promi- nence. Badminton became very pop- ular after an unusual doubles tourna- ment in which both faculty and students participated. Daets and Doris were the winners with Norris and McDaniels as runners-up. Many hiking enthusiasts were also found this ssmester and a large group went on the annual W. A. A. hike. Recently swimming has become one of the hi-lights of W. A. A. activities and many girls are seen enjoying the pool after a hard game. Archery, an- other new sport, has also found a special niche in girls ' activities. oaches The Women ' s Physical Education department is piloted by an efficient and active crew of tour who are popular tor their personality and interest in women students. Mrs. Edith Eales is dancing instructor and W. A. A. adviser; Mrs. Florence Neubauer, tennis and Tartarette sponsor; Miss Al- virda Rutherford, sports and C Club adviser; and Miss Rayma Wilson, a new member, swimming and sports instructor. Each represents a fine example of sports woman. w omen s Athletic Association The Women ' s Athletic Association is one of the largest and most active groups on the campus. The chief purpose of the organization is to stimulate an interest in women ' s sport activities. This year ' s calendar was filled with many events. One of them, the comic High Jinks, was a hilarious occasion. Another, in contrast to this, was the formal annual awards banquet which had for a theme an airplane trip around the world. W. A. A.

A. activities was planned. The business is executed at monthly dinner meetings held at the homes of the girls on the council. Making a scrapbook in which pictures and articles on the W. A. A. activities are recorded has been an additional function this year. Two outstanding social events were the week-end mountain party at Baldy and the beach party given by the instructors at Laguna.

Membership in the organization may be gained by winning a letter through participation in women ' s athletics either in high school or junior college. A club project for this year was raising money to help equip the new women ' s gym. The group sponsored a student body roller skating party March 20 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to earn money for the project. On May 1 1 a play day for five neighboring junior high schools was spon- sored by the C Club. THE UNITED FRONT Organizations mark their birth with the death of Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Aiding untiringly in all school functions, the Tartar Knights well deserve their designation as the school ' s outstanding ser- vice organization. By patroling the athletic fields, taking tickets, and ushering, Tartar Knights were instrumental in seeing that sport events went off with dispatch and precision. To preserve tradition, display good sportsmanship, and help in student government were three aims of the organization carried out by the group.

This motto belongs to the Tartarettes, distinguished as the only women ' s service organization on the campus. One of the objectives of the group was to encourage friend- liness among all students, and their faithful and untiring as- sistance throughout the year proved inestimable. Capacities in which the girls served this year were as follows: helpers during registration, guards at afternoon dances, hos- tesses at the W. A. A. Playday, ushers at lower division plays, hostesses at dedication ceremonies, and performers in stunts at football games.

Setting up suitable aims for the social groups and keeping administrative heads in contact with their plans and activities were prime objectives of the Social Organizations Council. With several members of the faculty under the belief that the men and women of the social groups neglected their studies, the Council made a survey to determine how much truth there was in this conclusion. A thorough investigation brought the result that the combined grade point average of the social organizations for the first semester was 1.05, a mark considerably higher than the average grade maintained at Compton. Additional work of the interfraternity council included fixing of standard requisites for rushing, pledging, and initiation and sponsoring of the pledge presentations during both semesters. Arrangements for inter-organization entertain- ments were also determined. Honorary Organizations u Compton Alpha First Ron — Frank Amemiya, Dwight Eubank, Margaret Heimanii.

Drafted in many instances to replace students who fell by the wayside, the staff spent long hours throughout both semesters on the mass of detail that accompanies a book of this type. While the entire staff without exception deserves commendation, I should like to express especial appreciation to my associate editor, Cullen Gulko; the sports editor, Carl Starkey; and Melvin Weber, who took charge of the art work after others had given up. The staff of advisers was all that one could ask for. Miss Teresa Roberts, executive adviser; Miss Mar- garet Ryan, art adviser; Mr. George Ford and Mr. Frank Engle of the print shop; and Mr. Jack Can- nicott of the Los Angeles Engraving Company all gave freely of their time and advice. To the staff and advisers, I am deeply grateful. I hope that the finished book has made their ser- vice a worthy expenditure. Harvey Ludwig B2 WV9K9B mm W WW '
