,Q l Cltummittees A9 CLASS COMMITTEES The Winter Class of 1930 chose several live committees to plan and carry out various phases of the class activities. These committees were the Entertainment Committeeg the Party Com- mittee, the Class Gift Committee, the Graduation Program Com- mittee, and the Dana Log Staff. ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE This Committee consisted of Marjorie Belasco, Chairmang Mildred Parker, Alice Sawyer, Roy Ritche, and Vincent Jorgen- sen. The duties of this committee were to plan some sort of entertainment each week for the A9's. These entertainments were enjoyed by all. ' PARTY 'COMMITTEE The party committee, under the supervision of Mrs. Genetha Alexander, prepared a very delightful party that was held on Wednesday afternoon of graduation week. A program of games, and dancing furnished the entertainment for the after- noon. The committee consisted of Eric Johnson, chairmang Erma Walstrom, Mildred Garvin, John Pollock, and Jack Tuerk. GIFT COMMITTEE The committee which was to plan the class gift was spon- sored by Mr. Clarence Halfpenny. The officers of the class served on this committee. The class gift had not been fully decided upon when this book went to the press but it was rumored that it might be an evergreen tree. GRADUATION COMMITTEE This committee met with Mr. Porter and Miss Whittlesey to discuss the problems of graduation. The songs and other numbers were chosen by this committee. The committee de- cided that the graduation apparel should be uniform black and white. The committee consisted of the officers of the class- William Deans, Walter Cadien, Yube Ostoich, and Wanona Baly-and three additional class members, Elizabeth Baly, Wini- fred Matalich, and Leona Phebus. THE DANA LOG STAFF The Dana Log Staff has been given space in another part of this publication. 32

,as 4 Harrison Holton, Jack Frishman, Jess Brown, Fred Castag- nola, and Yube Ostoich have just completed a correspondence course in house moving and are now ready to move anything from bungalow 176 to the new Federal Building on the Plaza. Here's more power to them! ' Three graduate nurses may be seen attending to the needs of those injured on the airships operated by Mitchell and Lane Airways Company. These angels of mercy are Marie Forsstrom, Ruth Pugh, and Marjorie Carr. Three of our greatest scholars thought their brains could be used for something better than remodeling schools, so they decided to work in a fish cannery that has named its three boats after them, Josephine Huff, Marybelle O'Dea, and Alice Robertson. . It will interest you to know that Doris Rockwell is now play- ing the part of a boy in The Kid's Home. Don't forget to see itg you will also recognize William Bullock playing the part of a colored porter. The greatest dancer in this show is Miss Eliza- beth Baly, who is a rival of the Russian Pavlowa. The farmer in the play, you will notice, is Billy Melville. We seem to be most fortunate because in the President's cabinet I see two of the Winter Class of 19303 one, Dennis Eco- nomedes, who holds the office of Secretary of the Bureau for the Care of Wild Animals, while the other, Evan Williams, is Secre- tary of Education. John Pollock has accepted the position as President of Stan- ford University. In his inaugural address these words were broadcast from the great station DANA: I accept this honor, knowing that knowledge is power. I firmly believe in a higher education for the boys and girls of this great continent. Marjorie Belasco now has complete charge of the Belasco transfer company with offices in every large city in the world. Alice Sawyer is in charge of the office in Rome, and Erma Wal- Strom is in charge of the office in Hong Kong. They have a re- union every year in Watts. The Red Stack Company is fortunate in having as its senior pilot, Norman Kelly, who navigates the well-known skiff, Penurious. He sometimes has Jack Baker to assist him. And here I see a circus. The funniest clown of all is none other than Ord Shoults. You mustn't miss seeing the monkey trainer, Carl Metzger, who claims to have the missing link. The greatest finger waver on the West Coast, Walter Win- ter, has opened a beauty shop in the basement of the city hall. Audrey Wilson is queen in a one-room country school house. She insists that every child pattern himself after the Spirit of Dana. 1 I The crystal is now becoming so cloudy I can see only the words, Steer a straight course, Winter Class of 1930. W 31 -
