GEORGE HUIVT II DEDIC ITIDIV To those former Hornets — men who fought for and gained intellectual and athletic fame for Fullerton ' s Hornet flag, and then bravely turned to fight again and die, this time in service of their truest love, their country ' s flag — we proudly dedicate this book. FDHEWDRD The experiences of a year of wartime college life at Fullerton have been captured in words and pic- tures in this book. Herein are recorded the activities, the classes, and the personalities that, when added together, yield a brilliant memory to be cherished throughout the future years. As time passes, looking between these covers will rekindle the glow of warm friendships, the increasing flame of a broadening intellectual life, and the sparkle of growing person- alities, for these values are the essence of college life. VV - iax 5 ; r J ' -x 5« . . . . THE YEAR DPEIVS On September 13, 14, and 15, the campus was crowded with prospective Hornets for the year ' 44- ' 45. Bewildered freshmen waded through a maze of class tickets, program cards, catalogues, subject A exams, and strange faces. Sophomores got through the ordeal with a minimum of effort, and greeted old friends. The office staff managed to lead new students toward their proper destinations, but even the faculty in charge of registration was a little bit confused by the day ' s end. At the close of those three days, approxi- mately three hundred and fifty students were ready for their Monday classes. Faculty mem- bers had their lecture notes ready. The campus looked its best. Fullerton Junior College had started on another successful year. GARNER HATCH BOYCE ADMIIVISTRATDRS Ultimate responsibility for any college falls on its Director, who is the link between administration of campus and outside persons and organizations. Working with trustees, faculty, student officers, and friends of the college. Dr. W. T. Boyce ably accomplishes the multitudi- nous tasks which befall him. Assisting him is Dean of Men Denver Garner, who acts as adviser of the student commission and is chief of the public relations department and instructor. Dean of Women Esther Hatch dynamically guides and skillfully furthers relations between junior college women, faculty, administrators, and college life and also teaches.

FACULTY Maintaining the highest standards in their classes, yet proving to be friends and inspirations to their students, members of Fullerton ' s facuHy have helped to make the junior college ' s reputation one of the fin- est in the country. FALL PICIVIC Clad in levis, slacks and plaid skirts, Herbies and Henriettas turned out en masse for the annual fall picnic held this year at Hillcrest Park. The frosh soundly trounced the upperclassmen in tug-o war, sack races, relays, and track on the high school field. Victor and victim migrated to Hillcrest, where the year ' s first football rally was held. Following food and frolic in the park, the Hive was filled with dancing couples until late that night. Success of the picnic was largely due to Marge Metzger and her hard-working social committee who devoted long hours in preparation of the event. MARGE The Hornets ' 1944 edition football squad was indeed an eleven of which any school would have been justly proud. Led by stars Nolan Harvey, Les Horton, Ronnie Troutman, and others the fighting Hornets established a season ' s record of three triumphs and three defeats. Although the won and lost record is not too impressive anyone who saw Fullerton ' s grid aggregation in action will readily agree that the Jackets were one of the most powerful Junior College teams in the state. n FDDTHALL FuUerton— 12 Fullerton— 26 Fullerton— 32 Fullerton— 40 Fullerton — 7 Fullerton — SCORES Chino State Prison — 13 Glendale I.

They outscored their op- ponnts 117 to 57. Led by yell leaders Dick Hey- ing and Bud McCorty, and spur- red on by the snappy Song leaders pictured below, this year ' s pigskin squad took them as they came and gave a good account. PATH MARILYN ■w CDMMISSIDIV With the aid and guidance of Dean of Men Denver Garner, the Associated Student Body was led by able, popular Johnny Renner and his competent corps of officers, Vice-Prexy Claire Lawrence, Secretary Peggy Wilson, Treasurer Rich Martin, Social Chairman Marge Metzger, and AMS and AWS presidents. Chuck Hill and Ronnie Gregor. Although activities were somewhat curtailed because of the war, the com- mission carried out the fall picnic, fall formal, and several other social events. The group participated in Eastern Junior College Conference activities, assisted ably in war drives, and were chiefly responsible for the success of the popular Blue and Gold Week. PEGGY JOHNNY BILL RONNIE CHUCK DICK FALL FORMAL Dancing under sparkling silver stars, approximately two hun- dred students swayed to soft music at the Fall Formal, held in the beautifully decorated Fullerton City Hall. Traditionally THE dance of the fall season, the formal lived up to all expectations this year under the careful unlimited work of Marge Metzger and her social committee. The dance proved to be one of the year ' s most successful events. Mrs. Schuepbach genial hostess in The Hive, who al- ways had a smile and a sand- wich ready. MA THE HIVE A blaring juke-box, tinkling coke glasses, and an unceasing drone of convers ation go to make up the social atmosphere of The Hive, popu- lar campus hang-out. Inevitably visited by nearly every student during the day, it is the only sure place to find out the latest news, get a ride to the beach, obtain family relations notes, or snag a date for the week- end. '  ' P • . ' I HELL Turning the campus into a turmoil for two days, sorority initiations consti tute the highlight of the fall season. These hazings which delight the spec- WEEK tators have been a traditional part of Fullerton Junior College life since 1934 when the first sorority was organized.

Alums home from the service and college mingled with jaysee stu- dents in the glowing light from the Christmas tree and drank punch with faculty members who appeared on the scene to relax on the first night of va- cation. The dance was sponsored by the Freshman class and efficiently planned and carried out under the leadership of Prexy Dave Kirkpatrick. - ' , ' 1 1 I J 1 1 . r S fi ' i •  EASTER CDHFEREIVCE FuUerton Junior College was host to The Eastern Conlerence during the first semester. Stu- dent speakers from each college discussed returning veterans and how the schools might bet- ter aid them. Entertamment was under the direction of Mrs. Hatch, and Dr. Boyce made all other arrangements. BASKET Steadily improving throughout the en- tire season, Fullerton J.C. ' s small but hustling basketball team managd to climb from the dismal depths of the Metropoli- tan Conference cellar to a respectable fourth place position at the conclusion of the season. Capable of upsetting any team in the league the Hornets were no pushover and were feared by any five that opposed them. They reached their peak near the end of the season when they conquered their age-old rivals, the Santa Ana Dons, 52-48 before a capacity crowd on the home court. They followed with another stunning upset by downing Glendale J.C. 48-44. Jack Woodward, Ronnie Troutman, chosen second string all CIF; Bill Wor- sham, Bill Chilton and Dick Heying were the big guns of the club. BALL 1 s.. 9i o n  Y. W. C. L The Y.W.C.A., under the guiding hand of Bette Reed, played an important part in the activities of the women students. Starting the year by entertain- ing El Toro Marines with a hayride brought the or- ganization to life. It continued in full swing through- out the remainder of the year, its social events including a Christmas Party, an Easter breakfast and the International dinner. In a more serious vein, the group sponsored the two chapels of the year — one at Thanksgiving, the other at Easter. The cabinet works under the direction of Mrs. Esther Hatch, Y.W. adviser. MAXINE Y. M. C. A. Under the leadership of Fred Dukes, the Y.M.C.A. carried on an active year despite war conditions that made it tough. The group had a stag early in the fall and regular breakfast meetings at various churches. The cabinet was made up of Fred Dukes, Roy Smith and Darwin Russell, with Bruce Clark as faculty adviser. CROSS EASTLAND ADDEN PAXTON DELTA PSI DMEGA Delta Psi Omega, national dramatic honorary fraternity, became active again this year, accepting approximately twelve pledges. Advised by Mrs. Esther Hatch, the group held its final initiation m June. Members were Barbara Cross, Doris Adden, Ruth Paxton, Jerry Eastland, Chuck Hill, Claire Lawrence, Bunny Redmon, and others. IVURSES AIDES Capped in the Lounge in May were eight Nurses ' Aides who received all but their practical train- ing at Fullerton Joy- ces. As a help to the War Effort this two- unit course was given on our own campus. Final train- ing was given at St. Joseph ' s Hospital in Orange. EASTLAND MUNGER RAND PATTERSON f  During a wartime year at any college a heavy load falls upon the shoulders of the leaders of the women students. With the shortage of men it is necessary that most activities center around the feminine population. RONNIE A. W. S. CABINET Under the competent leadership of poised Ronnie Gregor, AWS prexy, this year ' s cabinet provided Fullerton ' s women with a full calendar. Numerous assemblies were presented, a stocking-filling campaign for patients at Norco Naval Hos- pital at Christmas created a stimulus, and open house at the opening of school was largely attended. Creating the most excitement was the beautifully decorated St. Patrick ' s Day dance with air corps men as guests. . ' ' SPP SHAR SHIRLEY JEAN WAR SERVICE The War Service committee functioned ably under the competent guidance of chairman Sharlene Atkinson. All bond drives held on campus and other war efforts were conducted through the leadership of the committee. SHAR A. M. S. The Associated Men Students elected Bart Matheson as president at the beginning of the year. He later left school to join the Merchant Marine. Veteran Chuck Hill, able and dynamic, took over. Under his leadership the A. M.S. functioned as fully as possible under war condi- tions. CHUCK DI GAMMA IVU ALPHA Di Gamma Nu Alpha is a nursing sorority on the Fullerton Jay- cee campus with membership comprised of women medical students. Their activities during the year included field trips to various well known hospitals for the purpose of observing actual hospital routine. This group aided regularly in the making of surgical dressings for the Red Cross, and six Gamma Nu Alpha members completed Nurse ' s Aide training and are serving on regular schedule in Orange County hospitals. Pot-luck suppers in the lounge and friendly get-togethers were well attended by this congenial group which was headed this year by Louree Patterson, president; Dorothy Harlow, vice-president; Shirley Eaby, secretary, and Kathenne Guthridge, treasurer. Dr. Mable Myers was adviser for the sorority. MUSIC Under the capable direction of Harold Walberg, the junior col- lege ' s music department boasted a splendid women ' s chorus, the A Capella, and a popular girls ' trio. College organist was Darwin Russell.

Climaxing the year was the annual girl-date when the sorority covered Hol- lywood s nightclubs. This year ' s president was well-Iiked, hard-working Louise Wood- Miss Mabel Shorpe was adviser. Patronesses of the -group were Mrs- Caroline Chambers and Mrs. Exell Price, members of the Pan-Hellenic Board. BAUJWIN- RIEDLE; GARAGHTY; WILEMAN; OLSON- PARKS; MUNDING; VANGEN; FERR1 ROSIE k KAPPA LAMBDA SIGMA With a large membership, the Kappas, under the fine leader- ship of Rosella Olson carried out many activities. The tradi- tional rush teas opened the year with a rugged initiation period following. Besides several parties the Kappas attended The Drunkard and Ken Murray ' s Blackouts. Big Bear ' s snowy slopes were covered with Kappas at the semester break and approximately forty girls reveled at Balboa during Easter vacation. Last big event of the year was the armual May breakfast where mem- bers brought their mothers as guests. First semester adviser was Mrs. Beth Riedle. Mrs. Irma Minner acted in this capacity during the second semester. SIERRA Loaded with skis, toboggans and snow shoes, Herbie and Henrietta swarmed to the San Bernardino moun- tains at the semester break to relax and play for a three day weekend before starting the labor of a new semester. With the weight of semester exams lifted, the moun- tain weekend is inevitably the best of the year. After a flurry of snow-fights, swooping down ski runs, dancing late at night, and singing around a blazing fireplace, the Hornets return filled with new spirit and energy for the ensuing term. k .-.w- ' ' ' ■ f «■ • L mnnu JUNIOR The fun-loving and youthful comedy, Junior Miss, was presented in the High School auditorium March 22 and 23. The role of Junior Miss was played by Jerry Eastland, and her bosom pal Fuffy was portrayed by Claire Law- rence. The supporting roles were played by Bill Worsham, Doris Adden, Bettye Gil- ford, David Kirkpatrick, Ronnie Trout- n i n ■ ' ■ ' ' XWTO ' ' s: ' « ; i ii w i FRESHM IIV CLASS Making up the majority of the student body member- ship this year, the Freshmen were led by such out- standing personalities as David Kirkpatrick, Mary Bur- den, Jimmie Oglesby, and Jane Kulukjian. They spon- sored three successful dances, including the Christmas Semi-Formal. The Annual Torch is indebted to Andrea Maduell and Betty Jeanne Hanson for their splen- did help in preparing this book. They are Doctor Boyce ' s secre- taries. t ' f s, MORE FHESHMEU STILL MDHE FRESHMEM ALPHA GAMMA SIGMA Since the Alpha Gamma Sigma is strictly a scholastic organization accepting only students possessing superior grade averages, it is one of the highest honors in the school to become a member. Students belonging must have a semester grade total of thirty-tv o points. Dr. Williams advised. ADDEN AND GIFFORD Slipped m here are Dons Ad- den, Blue and Gold Day Queen, and Bettye Gifford, chairman responsible for Blue and Gold picnic food. Both are Delta Psi Omega. BETTYE DORIS JIIVX DAUCE Braving a Friday the thirteenth jinx, the Kappas and Thetas lured fifty El Tore marines to their co-sponsored dance held in the college lounge. The lounge was distinctively decorated in a jinx theme, with eight balls, dice, open um- brellas, and aces of spades. W. A. A. The W.A.A. boasted a greater membership this year than when the student body membership topped 1500. With invitations to all women stu- dents, the big event of the year was their Open House featuring badminton in the gym, swimming in the pool, and dancing and eating in the Lounge. President of this active group was Edna Hart. Other officers were: Joyce Vangen, Vice-President; Mary Lou Vandenburg, Treasurer; Jane Starbuck, Secretary. Managers were: Shirley Eaby, Basket- ball; Ercel May Morris, Hockey; Mary McManus, Dance; Joan Knudtson, Badminton; Shirley Hill- man, Volley Ball; Gertrude Dohner, Baseball. Miss Bobbie Randall advised. BASKETBALL VOLLEYBALL = 1 Cri|p;- ' h M,k 1 %r BASEBALL BABMINTBIV . , .-.  r -«P«S5?ti BAL . . . Bal . . . Beautiful Hal! Comes Easter week, comes Balboa. It is as much a part of Fullerton life as cokes in the Hive. It is the mecca of college students throughout Southern California. It is a kind of haven exclusively designed for youth. Sailing on the bay . . . soaking up sun on the hot sand . . . gluping hot dogs . . . singing on the ferry . . . crowd- ing in front of the band stand at the Rendezvous . . walking on the pier . . . screaming when the ferris wheel stalls AT EASTER ... all this goes to make up Bal. Still, the essence of Bal cannot be captured in words. Bal is a dream for which stu dents live preceding the actuality, and Bal is a memory cherished tenderly, a never-to-be-forgotten incident shining out as a brilliant flame in a dark year. WEEKLY TDREH The Weekly Torch was just another war casualty. It operated for six issues which were turned out every other week and every once in a while by a staff which got on each others nerves. It finally gave way to work on The Annual Torch. SALLIE JO PAT lONNIE MARILYN DARWIN BUCK, BARBARA, JO, SALLIE, BILL, JONNIE A IV IV U A L After undergoing untold suffering, The Annual Torch staff finally managed to produce a book, weeks after the dismissal of classes. Due to war- time conditions, rushed engravers and printers, and photography difficulties, the annual made its be- lated appearance. Hectic editor was Sallie Fiske. Associate editor and creator of the Herbie Hornets was Jojo Brittle. Presenting his high-powered sales talks. Bill Hunt acted as advertising manager. SALLIE HERBIES AIVD Here are the students ... in the class rooms . . . loafing around the Hive . . . wandering around the campus . . . out on the parking lot. Though small in number the Hornets are great HENRIETTAS in spirit. Through their enthusiasm and school spirit they manage to make Fullerton Junior College ' s third war-time year comparable in success to the previous years of the Swarm ' s intensified activities. ■ V vy 4 SUPT.

However, we wanted to give you an annual and we gave you one. The entire staff, particularly Jo, Bill, and myself, suffered numerous head- aches and lived under a nervous strain while we produced this book. But we enjoyed it. . . . We hope you enjoy scanning through it as much. Without the assistance and continual, consistent help of several people, there would be no annual. Don Ivers, the only student photographer, was the actual salvation of the book. Jo Brittle, associate editor, devoted her time, her gas, and her mental effort to help give you an annual. George Hunt ably han- dled advertising, using his own time to help finance an annual which was prac- tically without funds. To them I owe my most sincere thanks and gratitude. To those members of my staff who so thoughtfully devoted a small part of their time to make The Torch a success, thank you. And to Andree Maduell, Mary Rowland, and Dolores Gruber go my thanks for their part in helping to present to you, the students, a book worthy of your merit. It has been a privilege to edit The Torch ' 45, and I have enjoyed working with a fine staff, and under a fine adviser, Denver Garner.
