LA REATA PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS OF SALINAS JUNIOR COLLEGE SALINAS, CALIFORNIA FOREWORD Dear New Junior College: Our days seem brighter (due to the myriads of windows that comprise your walls), our studies seem easier (due to your comfortable desk-chairs, your well-ventilated and heated classrooms, your fresh splendor and spaciousness), and what is more, we seem happier and more contented (all due to you, New Junior College ). It is indeed surprising what our short sojourn within your portals has already accomplished toward making us a more cooperative working unit, a more ambitious group of students, and a more than grateful student body toward the people who have made you possible. Even the La Reata” has been influenced by you—and as this issue is the first yearbook to be born within your walls, will you do us the honor of being our theme for this edition? We hope and know that you will progress through the years, live long and become the best educational institution along the Pacific Coast. Faithfully yours .... the Editor of your Yearbook and the Students who are happy to be a part of you. DEDICATION To JOHN LEMOS, our principal and our friend, who so calmly and efficiently piloted us into our new home, who so gently and effectively rules us, inspiring both affection and respect, we gratefully dedicate this edition of La Keata. ADMINISTRATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES FACULTY STUDENT GOVERNMENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES R. D. Case , Supt. of Schools The Board of Trustees of the Salinas Junior College is composed this year of Mr. Glover Tholcke, President, Mr. W. B. Murray, Mr. Harry Noland, Mr. Bayard Young, Mr. Frank Laughton, and R. D. Case, Secretary. It was due to the farsightedness of these men that the Salinas Junior College is now enjoying its new home. The individual members of this Board are to be commended for the interest which they have shown in our Junior College, as well as for the effort which they have put forth, and for the success which they had in obtaining the cooperation of the community and of the state authorities, all of which have made the new up-to-date Junior College building possible. Not only have the Board members given us a new Junior College building but they have been very liberal in equipping the building with the most modern of equipment. For this—the students and faculty of the Salinas Junior College are very grateful .—John Lemos Laughton Murray Tholcke Noland Young FACULTY LEMOS ERIS CLARK LOWE BURGER PORTER MURRIN HALL AMYX 20 • At the portal, greet Miss Porter, the bearer of many burdens and jolly jugler of mail, phone, grade records, or correspondence. She conducts us to our principal, having the undivided loyalty and ardent affection of all his co-workers. We respect Mr. Lemos for his scholarship, admire him for his courtesy, and marvel at the dexterity with which he switches attention from sun-spots to wall blots. When not conducting club meetings, receptions, or exam post¬ mortems, our deans share largely in the academic program. Miss Fraser develops student expression in public speaking, drama, and writing. Mr. Sauble in logarithms, calculus, and architectural drawing. The harmonies of form, line, and color which Mr. Amyx fixes on canvas are translated into living reality in Miss Lowe’s classes in physical education and vocal music. Mr. McCann has an enthusiastic following in band and orchestra. Mr. Murrin takes English and provides the driving power to run the Battery” and La Reata.” FACULTY ROTHROCK McCANN McKAY SAUBLE FRASER POWERS STRUVE PRESSLEY BAXTER Our most ambitious dreamer is Mrs. Humphries, with her vision of miles of volumes to fill all still vacant shelves. Mrs. Baxter and Miss Struve, are building castles, also, which resemble a complete home economics unit on the college campus. The agricultural unit which Mr. Pressley plans will be a miniature Davis. When Mr. Powers is not busy converting athletic teams into cham¬ pions, he takes on contests with the economic system. Miss Rothrock trains efficient secretaries and accountants. Mr. Burger reveals the wiles of the salesman and expounds the laws and customs of the modern business world. Mr. Eris, of the triple-threat tongue, never confuses his French and Spanish vocabularies, while reserving his choicest English polysyllables for inquisitions on psychology. Miss Hall ranges wide¬ ly over the world to survey its history and politics. Miss McKay not only knows the lore of plants and animals, but also looks with keen wit and understand¬ ing upon the human world. Mr. Clarke is a clever analyst of manners as well as of matter; he looks with interest upon tempest and test tubes. Mrs. Hu mphrics STUDENT BODY Under the guidance of Clifford Campbell, student body president, the student commission developed into a governing body of real ability. With the election of Barbara Ansell as yell leader and Helen Black as secretary at the first of the semester, the student body sponsored a series of rallies and several dances for the football season. Sweaters, megaphones, and pompoms at the football games made the rooters seem an integral part of the games. An advertising committee for the football and basketball games and the attendance of the band at meetings, rallies, and games livened up the games. Toward the end of the semester plans were made for an At Home to be given as soon as we should move into the new building. The moving day was delayed until after Easter vacation, but the commission kept working at the plans. A Christmas program was put on under the leader¬ ship of the student body with members of the musical department showing their talent. Besides social functions that the commission sponsored, their work consisted in adopting a budget, sponsoring a song contest, and appointing numerous committees for the social activities. Handicapped by a lack of auditorium space, the student body held its meetings either in the high school stadium or the gym. The spirited discussions were led by Clifford Campbell, president; Gert Roussi, vice- president; Helen Black, secretary; and Barbara Ansell, yell leader. Hubert Luck Robert Tucker Clifford Campbell Gertrude Roussey Bob von Christierson Advisor Earl Sauble Howard Pence Hubert Luck Second semester officers of the student body were elected after the start of the second semester. They were Clifford Campbell, president; Gert Roussi, vice-president; Hein Black, secretary; Hubert Luck, yell leader; and Howard Pence, treasurer. Old clothes day on March 15 was sponsored by the student body. The variety of clothes old and new was amazing—everything from gym shorts to grandmothers’ bustles. A dance in the high school library under soft lights was the first and last dance held in the high school. Dances sponsored by the commission include At Home dance on April 2 and a Barn dance to be held in the new gymnasium. An annual Prom was scheduled to be held at the Santa Lucia Inn on May 8. Bids were sold to many jaysee students and their friends. The novel decorations and music made it an outstanding event of the year. Moving into the new junior college building after Easter vacation saw the replanning of the At Home. It was scheduled for April 28 and 30. The Men’s Club and Upsilon Gamma Chi were in charge of arrangements. Other programs sponsored by the student body was a speaker from the Byrd Antarctic expedition and a young man who told of his travels from New York to Australia and his travels in the Far East. Motion pictures were promised for the new building student body meetings which are held in the library .—Helen Igleheart ’3 8 Third—Bob von Christierson, Doris Cook, Don Cooler, Bob Tucker, Bill Curry, Gertrude Rousscy, Clifford Campbell.

REGULAR FELLOWS I ollowing the precedent set last year of selecting those students thought to be a little more generous in contributing towards the advance¬ ment and sunnier side of school life, an onlooker again endeavors to choose some of these Regular Fellows for La Reata. Gert Roussey Big hearted Gert, always willing to put herself out in 01 dei that others may be accommodated. Ffer car’s a winner. Howard Pence —That all-around good guy with the friendly and human greeting ready for his numerous friends. Doris Cook —Doris because she took over the dirtiest job that the publications can offer and turned out the niftiest of annuals. Don Coover Another year book worker whose happy-go-lucky way made his work all the more appreciated. Maxine Porter—The one girl all fellows hold dear. Perhaps she is a registrar, but that doesn’t stop her from being loveable. Cliff Campbell —Another fellow who made good in a big way. Student Body President or athlete; he’s a pal worth having, because he always treated the school to his best time, efforts, and friendliness. Bee Ratter —She didn’t try to put on any airs, but by being just Bee” did much to break down the school’s false sophistication. Christierson Many call him just Chris” because he was one fellow that always laughed, and laughed long and loud. Good old Vonnie.” We’ll see you in court. Sue Palmer —A girl that showed the rest of the coeds how and why the latest clothes make the woman. Julius Cohen —He took a constant ribbing from the entire school, but with a wisecrack turned around and still took it. A promoter needing just a little more finish, but a regular fellow. John Lemos —Our principal, but lacking in all the harshness of one. He was known as one of the fellows. How could such an old grinner” be denied? Helen Igleheart —That cute little dynamo whose ad-getting ability spelled a financial victory for the annual. Kimble Smith —Whose very high stature and slimness made him an outstanding adonis. His continual plea for a line to rebuke those who continually asked him how tall he was, won him a host of friends. A scholar too. Helen Randol —She has a chubby nature along with about the best giggle and sneeze that anyone could ask for. Helga,” another campus asset. Luther White —The old faithful who possessed an uncanny ability for putting across successful dances where others continually failed. He still had time for that hello.” REGULAR FELLOWS Betty Durnford ■—The little general, radiator of personality with perfect poise—and power (ask Cliff). Ralph Wilmot Farmer, lover, football player, horseman, and very quiet, efficient and business-like in all. Ernestine Winters— Artist, journalist, executive. This frail young thing does much good in her modest, quiet way. Boh Tucker Still writing, still grinning, still kidding and pleasing his public. John Lafka— His ad-getting helped La Reata go to press—and with his pals, Kroopnick, Matalick, and Lafranchi took a sponsorship. Bill Curry Who has all the sensibilities of a gentleman and knows how to take it. Thelma Cole Proof that a girl can be pretty, dainty, feminine, and still be an excellent business woman. Melven Johnson—On stage, light, and sound effects he’s a willing wizard. Nettie Wiechring —The sweet, gentle and efficient secretary. If she doesn t own the company, she’ll marry the president—or both. Hubert Luck— Excels in two fields, art and athletics. He’s pleasantly modest about both. The De Cotos, Priscilla and Dick —Seriousness of purpose beneath a pleasant, natural smile must mean something. The Panzieras, Rosie and Jimmie —Good scouts without any blare of trumpets. Hank Skaden Football star, horseman, basketball star; masculine, and modest. Barbara Joy —Bubbling over with it. But she has too much sense to be a Pollyanna. Jack Kympton —Brains and build; pertinacity and personality. Tom Judge —Find more courage and intelligence clothed in silence— if you can. Peter Girard —Given his intelligence and a good book, he can get more out of life with less wear-and-tear than most of us. Thoughtful and gentle. Robert Talley —Honest work and cheerful self-effacement. Carlton Williams —Sober, solemn, substantial. Genemarie Andersen —Bubbling good nature. Margaret Waters —Clear-thinking, dependability. Ann Kepner —A lady-like person with artistic sensibilities—and a red-head. What more do we want? Thelma Drake —Looks, charm and talent—and the shy thing doesn’t know it. Bill Shepherd —A much traveled he-man of brains, balance and substance. 13th YEAR STUDENTS ' 2 I Scott Vosti Luck Above —Top row: L. Fitzimmons, J. Coustette, L. Jewett, A. Murray, E. Gomes, D.

Second annual to be published by the Salinas Junior College, and first to be born within the new building! Hence, in an effort to set the desired precedent, the staff of La Reata have worked earnestly and hard to produce a yearbook replete in literature, photography, engraving, and printing. If La Reata is a success this year, it is due not to the endeavor of one individual nor of two, but to the wholehearted support and work of the entire staff. The following are to be commended equally for the time and effort they have expended on La Reata of 1937: Editor, Doris Cook; Business Manager, Helen Igleheart; Photography Editor, Don Coover, ' assisted by Julius Cohen; Art Editor, Ernestine Winters, assisted by Bill Curry, Hubert Luck, and Dick de Coto; Sports Editor, Don Coover, assisted by Carlton Williams, Lewis Fitzsimmons, Alex Ayers, John Draper, and Robert Tucker; Senior Editor, Bebe Raiter; Battery, Ernes¬ tine Winters; Upsilon Gamma Chi, Barbara Joy; Men’s Club, Robert Tucker; Mailing and Clerical Work, Harold Stigers; Dramatics, Ann Kepner; Women’s Chorus, Evelyn de Bolt; Men’s Chorus, John Draper; Band and Orchestra, Betty Draper; Women’s Sports, Inola Ford ; Riding, Bebe Raiter; Calendar, Evelyn Gunn; Adviser, John Murrin.

BATTERY Bob Tucker Ernestine Winters Julius Cohen ■P Beatrice Raiter Forging ahead from a mimeographed sheet, the Battery this year has kept its promise of a weekly paper. Staff members, though scarce, have worked their hardest at the insistence of Robert Tucker, editor. They have kept the school in a continual state of agitation; whether it has been because they got what they wanted, or wanted what they didn’ get, isn’t of much importance. Mr. John H. Murrin, publications adviser, has been the host to several Battery and La Reata parties at his home. At these parties problems are discussed, editors elected, and the newest dance steps tried out. This is just to show you that it isn’t al l work and no play. During the second semester, two members of the Battery staff, Ernestine Winters and Don Coover, attended the Fourth Annual Press Convention held at the University of California. Several useful and good pointers were brought home, and tried out on the unsuspecting students. On April 16, members of the Battery staff edited the Salinas Index- Journal, the city daily. A full day was spent in reporting, writing, and editing the copy that appeared in that issue of the paper. Members found the work exciting and educational. (The project was conceived, planned, and directed by Ernestine Winters.—Editor) Members found this exper¬ ience so worthwhile, that they are hoping to make an institution of it until the Jay see has its own presses. Members of the staff in the picture below include—Top Row: Flubert Luck, Carleton Williams, Beatrice Raiter, Gene Kelly, Kenneth Ambrose, Don Coover.

UPSILON GAMMA CHI 46 • Advisor Faith Fraser Upsilon Gamma Chi, the girls’ organization of the Salinas Junior College, served in both a social and practical capacity. One of its purposes was to better acquaint the co-eds of our college with one another. This plan to maintain a better understanding was started at our first meeting where all were inroduced. Another purpose of Upsilon Gamma Chi was to give the girls an opportunity to hear from important and interesting people on the part women play in the life of today. The organization sponsored Mrs. Mable Farrington Gifford, noted San Francisco psychologist, who spoke to the entire student body on personality. Madame De Spur of Budapest, who was making a world tour, told us of her most interesting study of the women of different countries. Dr. Case, Mr. Lemos, and Mr. Nolan were interviewed. Girls from the music department provided entertainment at most of our meetings. Perhaps our biggest activity of the year was the At Home” held in the new Junior College building on April 28 and 30. The parents and interested friends were invited to visit our campus. Personally conducted tours, entertainment, and refreshments were provided for our guests. Upsilon Gamma Chi’s year of activities was completed with our annual entertaining of the Men’s club. This was in the form of a picnic held May 12, where food and fun were in abundance. Barbara Joy Mary Cathey Jean Perkins Nettie Weickering Doris Cook T jehna Drake Earl Sauble The Men’s Club, of Salinas Junior College, has seen much improve¬ ment over previous years. The highlight of the club’s achievements was the very successful Sophomore-Freshmen brawl of last November 18 . This alone was the laying down of another precedent. The affair was capably handled to the extent that it proved to be the most entertaining and acquaintance mak¬ ing event of the year. The afternoon of games was followed by the equally successful Men’s Club Supper, sponsored annually by this organization. President Bob Tucker could not have missed making this gala affair a success with the whole-hearted cooperation of such members as Howard Pence, Robert Von Christierson, Clifford Campbell, Don Mammen, Don Coover, Julius Cohen, and their hard working assistants. The club also appreciated the work of the home economics teacher, Mrs. Baxter, who unselfishly devoted her time and efforts to this supper. Throughout the entire year the Men’s Club has been ably guided by another faculty member, Mr. Earl Sauble, Dean of Men. When meetings became dull or progress became stagnant, it was he who started the things going. The calendar of events closed when the Women’s Club retaliated, for the early treat of the men, by sponsoring an enjoyable spring picnic for the latter’s benefit at Indian Village. Above —Robert Tucker, Melvin Johnson, Luther ' White . Below —Don Coover, Clifford Campbell, Don Mammen DRAMA Drama, a very important phase of the Junior College life, was duly lepresented this year by a comparatively large number of students with Miss Faith Fraser acting as director. Although the dramatics class was off to a bad start last fall because of the contention concerning the chosen play, Valley Forge,” Miss Fraser gallantly pulled the class out of the rut. The Green Goddess,” written by William Archer, was produced on May 21, 1937. The following students were chosen for the leads: Miss Beatrice Raiter as Mrs. Major Crespin; Raymond Pixley, Major Crespin; Lyle Stageberg, Basil Traherne; Julius Cohen, the Rajah; Ken¬ neth Ambrose, Watkins; Ffarold Vorhees, Cardew. The remainder of the dramatics class comprised the minor roles and provided the necessary background. Melvin Johnson had charge of the scenery and was ably assisted by Don Coover, George Kelly, and Luther White. During the spring semester three one-act plays were presented. One of these was a comedy, the other two, of a more serious nature. All three were enthusiastically presented with the following students taking part: Misses Lucy Hoover, Thelma Drake, Dorothy Rising, Helen Eckel, Gertrude Roussey, Delphia Nash, Ann Kepner, Wilmar Tognazinni, Lyle Stageberg, Julius Snow, Harold Vorhees, Richard Riopel, and Harold Hitchings .—Ann Kepner 3 8 OLD JUNIOR COLLEGE MEN ' S AND WOMEN ' S GLEE Gertrude Lowe Under the direction of Miss Gertrude Lowe the Vocal Departments have taken a new step this year in forming classes separate from the high school. The outstanding vocal program of the year was at the Junior College Open House in April. At this program the girls were dressed in formals and the boys in dark suits, thus portraying a scene of beauty in appearance as well as in song. This performance was met with such approval as to merit the groups the featured place on the high school spring festival program. During the first semester, the Octette” represented the junior college in appearances at the various business and social organizations. During the second semester the Triple Trio” appeared in public. In May the Women s Glee Club visited at the annual spring festival at College of the Pacific in Stockton, where next year they hope to enter in the competition with the other junior collegs. 50 • Yirst—Francis Kashner, Ernest Scattini , Ross Beamer, Joe Moore, Bill McLean, Adolph Decoto Second Harold Mocettini, Hogumo Ogawa, Alphonso Spallino, John Draper, Bill Lee.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA Lor ell McCann This past year has seen increased interest and larger membership in both band and orchestra in spite of the handicap of having the high school auditorium torn down and rebuilt around them. Talent for these growing organizations has been drawn from many communities—King City, Watsonville, Spreckels, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Salinas, Gonzales, and Soledad. A small but talented group of students started the first all-Junior College band, which played for football and basketball games and several rallies. Foundations have been laid by these musicians for a concert band and a pep band for next year. The orchestra played for the Christmas program sponsored by the Upsilon Gamma Chi and the Open FFouse program of the new Junior College. It joined the high school orchestra in the concert given to cele¬ brate the opening of the new high school auditorium. We expect to have a little symphony and several instrumental ensembles next year. —Betty Draper ’3 8 First —Myrtle Abbott, Frances Ru olen, Ernestine Winters, Stanley Foletta, L.

ATHLETICS FOOTBALL BASKETBALL TRACK TENNIS BLOCK S” WOMEN’S SPORTS RIDING SNAPS SCHOOL CALENDAR ATHLETICS Coach frank Powers The growth of the Junior College has been exemplified in the progress of the athletic teams. The Salinas Junior College completed its tenure as a member of the Central California Coast Counties Athletic Conference with championship teams in basketball and track. Indicative of the growth of the Junior College and the strength of the athletic teams, the Panthers have accepted the invitation of the Northern California Junior College Athletic Conference and will henceforth compete with teams of that organization. Within a period of two years the Panthers have come to be much feared among the Junior Colleges of the state. The football team plays a schedule which consistently finds the Panthers in competition with the larger Junior Colleges as well as the various college freshmen teams and teams representing the smaller four-year colleges. The basketball teams play a lengthy schedule which finds the Panthers meeting, in addition to Junior College teams, the outstanding club and professional teams of the country. In track competition the Panthers have yet to be defeated in a regularly scheduled meet and in two years have breasted the tape ahead of all others in the flat races. The tennis teams have lived up to the athletic reputation of the college through winning a great share of their matches with leading university squads as well as the conference championship. • 57 FOOTBALL 58 • Mickey Woods, Tom Judge, Harold Mosccttini Bob Hall, John Storm, Don Coover, Jr. Jerome Kasai an, Clifford Campbell, Don Hall The construction of adequate training facilities in connection with our new school will have a decided beneficial influence on future athletic teams. The athletic program will be enlarged to accommodate an extensive minor sports program. Boxing, wrestling, swimming, golf and polo will take the Panthers to other fields in the future. When Coach Powers sent out his call for football players at Salinas J. C. this year he found 50 young men waiting for his orders. While looking over his material he found that the boys came from all over California and some from Texas, Idaho, St. Louis, and Kansas. The Panthers were to start practice for an eleven game schedule which they were to meet some of the most outstanding J. C. and Frosh teams on the Coast, and a game in Idaho.

C. 6 In the first game in the ”36” season the Panthers traveled to Santa Rosa College. Both teams fought throughout the first half on even terms. It was not until early in the third quarter that Boyd ( R. T.) crashed through into the Santa Rosa backfield and blocked a kick on the 12-yard line. The ball bounced back into the end zone where Skadan—the ball hawk end—fell on it for a touchdown. The try for the extra point was no good. Woods kicked to the 22-yard line where the Bear Cubs made then- march to score. Their try for the extra point also failed. Salinas J. C. 25 —Santa Maria J. C. 0 The first quarter started off very slow due to the over-anxiousness of the Salinas backfield, which caused many penalties and kept the Don Baumgardner 60 • Panthers from scoring. In the next quarter the Panthers started a field march which Woods ended with a score. The second score was due to a splendid fifty yard jaunt on the part of Mel Slade who, after being hit, lateralled to Sears who finished the run to the two- yard mark. Again Woods carried it over, and this time Skadan made the kick good. Then Coach Powers took his first string out and let his reserves do the work for the rest of the half. They showed up very well and held their own with the Santa Maria team. The next period saw Bowman shooting passes right and left for long gains which were good for another score, 19-0. Little Stan Noyes made the last score. Miramontc Game St. Marys Game First —Coach Frank Powers, Charles Clark, Halbert Alexander, Ever it t Cole, Dave Boyd, John Storm, Gerard Woelfle, John Matulich.

C. 15 In one of the most exciting games filled with laterals, spinners, long runs, and passes and a field goal and a safety thrown in, the crowd was kept on their toes all the time. The first touchdown was made by Taft on a long pass from the middle of the field into the end zone, and the conver¬ sion was good. Taking the kickoff the Panthers started a long drive which ended in Woods smashing over from the six-yard line. The march was featured by a twenty-five yard jaunt by Slade and a twenty yard pass from Slade to Skadan. Woods’ conversion tied the score. Taft scored again in the second quarter with another pass. Skadan booted a field goal from the ten-yard line, making the score 10-13 as the half ended. Early in the last quarter Salinas’ score was made by an intercepted pass by Alexander who ran seventy yards and then as he was being tackled lateraled to Slade who carried the ball for the score. Near the end of the game the Panthers found themselves back on their own goal line. Thanksgiving Day Gooding College, Idaho Gerard Woelfle, Dave Boyd, Halbert Alexander Ralph Wilinot, Don Coover, Jerome Kasavan Don Hall, Don Baumgardner, Tom Judge With minutes to play the Panthers elected to ground the ball for a safety and a one point victory and chance a possible kick. Salinas . C. 0 — St. Mary ' s Frosh 21 This game saw Salinas team suffer their first defeat to the very powerful St. Mary’s Frosh. The Panthers were not outfought but were just overpowered. The first score was made when the Salinas center got mixed up in his signals and centered the ball into space where the Frosh recovered on the 14-yard line. Soon after the second quarter had started, St. Mary’s scored and made the extra point. The next touchdown was made on a bad break by the Panthers, when Bo wman’s pass was inter¬ cepted on the 26-yard stripe. Then on a series of end plays the Saints scored again and McPhail converted the extra point making the score 14 to 0. The third quarter found the Panthers starting a drive of their own when Woods lateraled the ball to Bowman who in turn would throw passes to the ends. On one of these plays the Frosh intercepted the ball on the Panthers own 3 8-yard line. On another bad break St. Mary’s 62 • FOOTBALL ALL CONFERENCE PLAYERS Woods Ska dan Campbell Wilinot scored again when Sims intercepted Noyes’ short pass on the Frosh 40 and ran to a touchdown (21 to 0). Salinas J. C. 0—San Jose State Frosh 0 In a game that saw a tremendous passing attack on the part of both sides, the end a scoreless tie. The Panthers had their chance to score, but Campbell dropped a pass from Bowman in the end zone. The Frosh started a march for a touchdown only to be stopped by the end of the game. Salinas gained seven first-downs to the Frosh’s two. Salinas J. C. 7—Humboldt State College 26 Salinas started off with a bang in the first quarter with Bowman and Woods making long gains through the center of the line and around end. Salinas made their only score on a sleeper play. On the play Flank Skadan took a pass from Bowman and after running a short distance he turned and lateraled to Campbell who went over for the score. The point after the touchdown failed. All of the Plumboldt State’s scores were made on long runs around end. Salinas J. C. 6—Cal Poly 19 The game was marked with a series of fumbles on the Salinas team. The first score was made when Bowman fumbled on the eight-yard line and Cal Poly went over for a score. Cal Poly had to work for their second touchdown but the third one came to them on another fumble. The Jaysee touchdown came when Woods, the Panthers star ball carrier, raced thirty yards for a touchdown. • 63 BASKETBALL Clifford Campbell, Bill Lee, Don Baumgardner Bob Henderson, Dave Boyd, Bill McLean Don Cooler, Bill Shepherd, John Storm The tradition that Salinas always has a remarkable basketball team was maintained this year by our squad during a season that was successful in every respect and resulted in the winning of the championship. In a busy season that saw twenty-nine games played against the finest commercial, junior college, and professional teams available, Salinas won twenty-two contests, losing only seven, three of which were against professional barnstorming teams. The outstanding events of the season, of course, were the capturing of the championship in the Central Coast Counties Conference and the victory over the Olson’s Swedes, one of the most outstanding of professional teams. A race for the conference cham¬ pionship saw Salinas’ only defeat, which came from Miramonte—a defeat avenged by two other victories over the southern school. Santa Maria and California Polytechnic, the remaining schools of the conference, were each defeated three times in the league play. By winning eight out of nine games, Salinas made a percentage of .811 compared with second-place Miramonte’s standing of .666. The league contest was an exciting one. The first game of a schedule 64 • Bud Littschiud, Lewis Fitzsimmons, Norman Skadan Clifford Campbell, Bill Lee, Charlie Clark Don Baumgardner, Norman Skadan, Bob Beach that called for three games to be played against each conference opponent was against Santa Maria. The game, a whirlwind of roughness and action, saw the Saints swept off their feet by a score of twenty-seven to nineteen. After Shepherd dropped in a foul shot to open the scoring, Santa Maria took the lead with a field goal and foul shot. Scattini followed with a foul shot and a basket to put Salinas in the lead four to three. At no time after that did Santa Maria overtake our team. The half ended with the score twelve to eight. In the second period Santa Maria started a scoring spree, but a series of foul shots and buckets by Layer, Ska dan, and Henderson kept Salinas out in front. Leading the scoring were Skadan, Scattini, and Layer. The following week-end saw the first contest with Cal-Poly and a return engagement with Santa Maria. The game with Cal Poly proved to be one of the toughest of the season, and at no time did more than three points separate the two teams, although Cal-Poly held the lead for only a very short time at the beginning of the second half. The game ended with Salinas winning thirty-seven to thirty-six. •65 Second —Max Kroopnick, Bob Henderson, John Storm, Clifford Campbell, Date Boyd, Bob Beach, Joe Moore, Charlie Clark, Coach Bowers. First —Don Coover, Don Baumgardner, Bill Lee, Bill McLean, Ernest Seattini. The game with Santa Maria proved to be much easier for the boys. A fast passing attack and Clark’s skill in taking the ball off the backboard gave the team a twenty-seven to twenty victory over the Saints. In the next game with the Polytechnic he locals led at the end of a slowly played first half by the score of eleven to six. However at the beginning of the second half, the southern team staged a rally which soon tied the score at twelve all. That was all that was necessary to rouse the Panthers’ fighting spirit. Led by Lee, Layer and Campbell, they shot their way to a twenty-seven to nineteen triumph. A double-header with Miramonte saw the only defeat of the season. After swamping the Atascadero team in the Friday night game, the locals became over-confident, allowing Miramonte to assume a large lead with only a few minutes to go in the Saturday game. Although the team rallied to score ten points in the closing four minutes, they were nosed out by a score of forty to thirty-six. In spite of the defeat of the previous Saturday, Salinas clinched a tie for the championship the following week-end by again winning over Cal-Poly and Santa Maria. The first half of the Cal-Poly game saw a fairly even score and close play, but as the second canto opened up Beach’s sensational shooting led the team to surge away to a twelve point lead. The final score stood at thirty-four to twenty-five. For a ime it appeared that Salinas might be eliminated from the conference race by Santa Maria, as the Saints made a spirited battle in the first half and were leading a great deal of the time. However, our team was leading by twenty-two to twenty when the period closed . When the teams began the second half, Layer, Beach and Baumgardner cut loose with a volley of shots that completely swamped the Saints. As the game rolled on, the Santa Maria team became completely demoralized with the final score being forty-seven to thirty-four. Tr Bill McLean, Bob Henderson, Joe Moore Ernest Scattini, Dave Boyd, Don Coover, John Storm The real power of the team was shown in the final contest with Miramonte. Since this game was to decide the championship, both teams were eager and anxious to win. At the beginning the game was played slowly, each team stressing defense, carefully trying to keep the other from scoring. However, Salinas slowly forged ahead, and in spite of rough tactics on the part of the visitors, held a twenty-two to sixteen lead as the gun ended the first period. Then the Panthers began to move. Soon after the start of the second half, the score had been raised to thirty-one to seventeen, and although Miramonte rallied slightly, it was unable to cope with the power of the Panthers, who, led by Beach and Layer, rolled up a fifty-three to forty-nine score, to capture the gold trophy that signifies Conference supremacy. To the fans, the most interesting games were those against profes¬ sional barnstorming teams, and large crowds turned out to see the contests with those teams. The teams in this group were the Broadway Clowns, a group of Negro comedians who pass and handle the ball with lightning- like speed and deadly accuracy, the House of David, that long-bearded team of religious fanatics whose members ranged in height from six feet to six feet eleven, the Terrible Swedes, the ' world champions,” who were nearly as tall, and the All-American Red-heads, a team of girls whose passing, shooting and floor work were far superior to that of many men’s organizations. Although defeated twice by the clever Clowns, and once by the House of David, our squad evened up the score with the pros by twice defeating the All-American Red-Heads, and conquering the self-styled World Champion” Swedes 5 8-47 in an exciting overtime game that saw Beach score 10 of the 14 points made by our team in the extra period. • 67 ALL CONFERENCE PLAYERS Beach , Ska dan, and Baumgardner As practice contests to give the team additional experience under competitive circumstances games were scheduled with the best commer¬ cial teams in the area. These aggregations included many former college stars, and were highly polished teams. Two of them, the Hewitt Motors team from Los Gatos and the Pullman Porters from San Francisco, accounted for a couple of the season’s seven defeats. Individual performance on the team was of the highest possible calibre, with the squad boasting seven or eight players of first-string ability. Bob Leach, all-conference center, was the season’s high-point man. Bob scored three hundred ninety-five points this year, making an average of seventeen points per game. Closely following Bach as high- scorers were Berneth Layer, the second highest, and Don Baumgardner, who ranked third. At the close of the final conference game, the team met to select a captain. Since the position of captain is an honorary one, being named at the close of the season, election as captain is one of the coveted distinctions of the season. Norman Skadan, who played a steady and dependable game at guard, was chosen for this honor; at the same time Don Baumgardner was voted the most inspirational player. The seven men who played their last season for the school will be hard to replace. Layer, Clark, Campbell, Lee, Skadan, Baumgardner, and Beach are the graduating lettermen who will be greatly missed .—Carlcton Williams ’3 8 68 • TRACK Luck Bayer La franc hi Patrick Led by Bud Bayers in the distances, Hubert Luck in the dashes, and Gene Patrick in the weights, the Panther Track Team distinguished itself with a successful season. The running events were the main strength of the team, as illustrated at almost every meet by Bayer and Luck, who were usually good for five firsts between them, and by Lafranchi and Fitzsimmons, each good for two seconds. The Panthers captured a championship at the 4C Conference Meet with a total of 5 3 points. This meet was also featured, for Salinas, by three new records: Patrick’s 159 feet 11 inches heave of the javelin, Bayer’s 4:44 mile, and the relay teams 1:34.1 in the half-mile. In the N. C. J. C. Conference Meet, the Panthers were defeated by the slight margin of l 2 point due to the fact that Luck was declared ineligible on a technicality which was later proved to be an error. 10.1 in the 100 by Lafranchi in the Menlo dual meet. 22.1 in the 220 by Luck in the Menlo dual meet. 50.6 in the 440 by Bayer in the N.

J. C. has had an organized team in this sport. Our schedule was very extensive, including matches with Stanford Frosh, San Francisco Junior College, San Jose State Frosh, University of San Francisco, San Mateo J. C., University of Santa Clara, and C. C. C. Conference .Although defeated as a team in most of the matches, S. J. C. made a good showing against superior competition, particularly against the strong Stanford Frosh who defeated the J. C. by a close score of 5-4. Although this year was one of the rainiest, S. J. C. was fortunate in being able to play all matches on schedule. All San Francisco matches were played on indoor courts at the Palace of Fine Arts. Without question, the outstanding member of the team was Alex Ayers, who again this year held down first position. Fie maintained a perfect record of victories throughout the season. The first doubles team of hard-hitting, dependable Howard Pence and consistent Alex Ayers also defeated all opponents. Johnny Storm, a newcomer, showed surprising ability by capturing the 2nd singles position, which he held most of the season. Howard Pence, the stylist, turned in a creditable performance at 3rd position. Hard-serving Kimble Smith, Lefty” John Draper, and steady Gene Dong alternated at the next three positions. Bob Tucker played a brainy game at number seven and was rewarded with several wins. Don Mammen proved valuable as a doubles player. The other members of the squad who saw considerable action were Douglass Howard and Diamond Yee. Mr. Fred Clayson and Coach Powers gave valuable aid. —John Draper ’37 and Alex Ayers ’37 70 • BLOCK Shepherd Luck Bayers Beamer Starting after a semester of almost complete idleness, the varsity S” society retaliated with a peppy second semester comeback. The lack of individual interest was a decided handicap during the first part of the year, but although the school program was full, the new semester ushered in a new regime with Bill Shepherd as president; Hubert Luck, vice- president, and Bud Bayers, secretary-treasurer. The organization includes approximately forty members who have earned their letters by competing on one of the school’s major sport teams. Successfully this club has sponsored two dances in order to estab¬ lish a fund beneficial to its members. The first dance was given in the old buildings and under the most trying conditions came out ahead. This money was to go towards the sweater award funds. The last dance was so well attended that it reimbursed the advisor. Coach Powers, for the money he had paid for the gold basketballs awarded the championship basketball squad. This is in reality the first big year of the organization and everything attempted, successful or otherwise, will lay a stable foundation for the later achievements of this honor society. GIRL ' S SPORTS 72 • Activity was the keynote of girls’ sports this year, under the able supervision of Miss Lowe. Enthusiasm reached a new heighth in the interclass games held in volleyball, basketball, and a modified version of that strictly masculine sport, football. The thirteenth year girls came out on top most of the time in these exciting contests, as the fourteenth year girls valiantly tried to substitute quality for a deplorable lack of quantity. However, the friendly spirit of competition which dominated these games has definitely added something to the good nature and sportsmanship of each participant, which was the fundamental aim. Twice weekly our ardent young Amazons have faithfully assembled in the gym and given their all in the well founded hope that their exer¬ tions will aid in developing in them a somewhat enlarged brain power as well as brawn and physical beauty. The poise, grace, and healthy charm displayed by the co-eds as they stroll through our corridors is ample proof that their expectations have been fulfilled. During both semesters, tennis gained a large following among the girls. These lusty racquet wielders have been striving for form and a mastery of the fundamentals of the game, which essentials are necessarily required to become an accomplished player. The girls who have chosen this as their major sport have shown their wisdom, for tennis is an activity which will prove an invaluable recreation in their later days. Boys Riding Beginners Riding Advanced Riding RIDING CLUB The advanced riding class spent their first semester playing polo at the California Riding Club. On November 15 th the polo team, consisting of Gertrude Roussey, Rose Panzierra, Mrs. J. B. Lemos and Emily Alarid, played against the Sacramento team and lost 4 to 1. Mrs. Lemos scored for the locals. Sunday, November 16th, saw the team play Berkeley and win 2 to 0. Those taking the course under the instruction of Mr. Charles Rawley included Mrs. J. B. Lemos, Mrs. J. H. Murrin, Bebe Raiter, Gertrude Roussey, Barbara Joy, Jean Richardson, Beth MacDougall, and Emily Alarid. In spite of rain, they managed to get in on some polo and horse anat¬ omy. Those in the class were Ann Kepner, Helen Emmons, Ruth Edwards, Sally Hayes, Rose Panzierra, Sue Palmer, Priscilla de Coto and Emma Jean Boasso. The men under Mr. Rowley learned riding, polo, horse anatomy, and jumping. The class consisted of Curry, Panzierra, Wilmot, Campbell, Skadan, Bernard, Hakell, Von Christierson, and Mr. J. H.
