EARL F. SAUBLE, as Dean of Men, devotes his time without stint to the numerous activities of the College. Possessor of those indescribable qual¬ ities which inspire confidence, this just and gen¬ erous gentleman is highly deserving of this dis¬ tinct honor. ADMINISTRATION RENE BIRBECK Commissioner of Women’s Athletics FRED JOYCE Commissioner of Sophomore Class BOB VORIS Commissioner of Freshman Class • PAGE 19 PRESIDENT RICHARD J. WERNER epitomizes an in¬ stitution whose every emphasis is the propagation of our American heritage. His vision, leadership, and perseverance mirror for us the vast potentialities of the college in its des¬ tined course of achievement. He commands the confidence and respect of all who come within the aegis of his friendly and forthright personality—and they are legion. John B. Lemos’ advice as mentor to those who aspire to advanced collegiate and pro¬ fessional training is of inestimable value. Luella J. Hall as counselor for the General College capably guides students into courses of adaptability for all around living. Anne M. Lescisin gives careful attention to placement problems and to the increasing part taken by women in campus life. George F. Aughinbaugh competently and skillfully directs the affairs minutiae of the Controller’s Office. • PAGE 22 PAGE 26 Yes, it’s Mr. Amyx’s new suit! Mr. McCann leads a fresh air concert Messrs. Bengston and Lemos read a list with amusement. “How long do you want to keep it?” asks Mr. Clark Professors Cassaday, Sauble, and Aughin- baugh in a sober promenade. President Werner and Building Inspector Laughton view the situation. Pretty Dean Lescisin works hard Dr. Hall emphasizes a point Mr. Borough smiles for the camera. • PAGE 27 School Board H. D. CASE Superintendent of Schools The School Board holds a position of ut¬ most importance in this institution’s vital processes. Seldom vocal outside of their meetings, signal service is performed by Dr. Roscoe Case, secretary, on those festive oc¬ casions when he has graciously consented to speak on this campus. Having the final word in all financial and personnel deci¬ sions, the School Board has shown itself in the school year of 1940-41 to be exception¬ ally understanding in administrative mat¬ ters, and liberal in its appropriations. This expanding college is indeed fortunate to be managed by men who realize that an invest¬ ment in the raw material of citizenry means a greater probability of excellence in the fu¬ ture leaders of our country. • PAGE 28 W. M. HAYES E. L. KNOWLTON M. B. YOUNG H. L. NOLAND W. B. MURRAY AL MOOHE Sophomore Class Bulging with activities was the calendar of the 1940-41 sophomore class. As if to make their last year at the Salinas Junior College a year permeated with pleasure, both active and reflective, the upperclassmen were integrated into an alert, progres¬ sive group, mindful of their social duties, yet conscious of the potentiali¬ ties of college academic life. Athletic events of the annual field day were marshalled by the sopho¬ more class, which also took over many of the responsibilities of the Men’s Club supper in the evening. The spring informal, another sopho¬ more project, was considered superla¬ tive entertainment, as was the sopho¬ more variety show, an extravaganza of collegiate talent. i BARBARA MADDOX • PAGE 34 Elizabeth Priddy, club woman su¬ preme, has done wonders to sky¬ rocket A.

Nor were they unmindful of scholastic attainment. Whole-hearted par¬ ticipation was endemic in the following memorable enterprises of the year: Field Day, Bonfires, Pajamerino, and Frosh Reception. Efficiently instrumental to the very finale of each activity and worthy of all-college mention were Pat Adcock, Harold Coehlo, Beverly Van Buren, Bob Voris, Alva Phillips, Lester Kaplan, Marjorie Force, Marsh Glos, Mike Stewart, and Morry Ferguson.

Because of their consistent encourage¬ ment, assemblies, and sports events were exceptionally well attended. Chairmaned by dynamic Ed Brock, the com¬ mittee gave mass transfusions of enthusiasm the year ’round. • PAGE 54 Sid Gadsby and Jack Dolan, announcers supreme, managed to sift out of the exciting debris of the big games, clear, cold, uncolored facts, and relayed them to breathlessly awaiting crowds.

The committee in turn arranged for posters to be made and placed at strategic points. • PAGE 55 Majorettes This year at Salinas Junior College was organized the largest college Majorette Corps in the world. Led by blond Kay Hamm, its thirty-two high-stepping members—twirling silvery batons and waving maroon and gold flags—delighted thousands. Long the dream of Marsden Sherman, commerce instructor at the college, and an erstwhile national champion drum major himself, the corps performed very creditably at all football games. • PAGE 56 Kay Hamm calls girls to attention KAY HAMM RUBY STAMPER MARGARET HARTIGAN BERNADINE MEADOWS JEAN FOSTER YVONNE SULLIVAN • PAGE 57 MARJORIE LEWIS ELDON DEDINT La Renta Staff With a hard working and con¬ scientious editor-in-chief, Dorothy McAdams, and a capable faculty advisor, Mr. Borough, this year’s La Reata staff was an inspired group determined to publish the best Salinas Junior College yearbook ever.

This group is interested primarily in the study and presenta¬ tion of good music. The year’s work in symphonic training was demon¬ strated at the concert given here on April 2. Music critics have acclaimed the orchestra as the finest this Junior College has ever produced. Several ensembles have been formed from this group, and these have been active in community functions. These are the girls’ string quartet, the violin choir and the Courante string wood quartet. TOP ROW: G. Hammond, B. Mayer, G. Cava; SECOND ROW: L. Lincoln, R. McGowan, A. Andrus, C.

Their trip to Reno, financed by an appreciative student body, climaxed the unusually successful series. Extra-curricular work included marching in the Army Day parade last October 26 and the perfomance of the Oompah band at the local Catholic church bazaar, November 13 and 14. Following the football season, the concert band was organized— which studied symphonic music extensively, performing at the fourth annual spring concert held here on April 2. FRONT: L. McCann, P.

This organization sucessfully sponsored the second Homecoming Day for the Alumni. Several delegates attended the state convention at Reedley. Among the most coveted of the commencement awards are the gold pins presented annually to a select group attaining the high standards required for life membership. ESTRELLA LAUBER JEAN McTAVISH m -i! n HELEN BIDDLEMAN LOUISE GRAHAM Upsilon Comma Chi Outstanding in the work of transforming timorous freshmen women into poised coeds has been the Upsilon Gamma Chi, a Greek letter sorority to which all feminine enrollees antomatically belong. Entertaining done by this society was particularly motivated this year by both Helen Bidleman, the fall semes¬ ter president, and Louise Graham, the spring semester president, who were Home Economics majors. Per¬ meating the group’s following activi¬ ties was the personality of their gra¬ cious and charming advisor, Mrs. Hope Baxter; Freshmen receptions, ribbonero, barn dance, backwards dance, Mother’s tea, and annual picnic.

In the fall semester the club was responsible for the highly successful Whiskerino climaxed by the Men’s Club supper. An innovation this year was the campaign for Campus Queen, a highlight of Anniversary Day. The whole affair was under the able direction of President Art McChes- ney who also arranged for the clever dance at which Cecelia La Velle was crowned Queen of the Campus. JACK NELSON D. Gibbs, A.

With numerous debates these novices have demonstrated marked improvement in extemporaneous public speaking. As a climax to the year’s events was the annual Toastmaster’s banquet. Showing greatest improvement in a genial table-side manner have been George Ikeda, Phil Wilson, Jack Nelson, and Fred Weybret. FRED WEYBRET JACK NELSON Rainbow Club At the beginning of the school year the Rainbow Club gave a reception for new members.

As a symbol of their pro¬ gressiveness and initiative, a local representative, Byron Pressley, was elected vice-president of the state organization. At the annual state conven¬ tion held recently in Modesto, the chapter proved its worth by placing first in farm-judging con¬ tests and by procuring the next convention in 1942 for Salinas. ft NEWTON WILEY JACK DOLAN MINORU SAGUCHI • PAGE 99 FIRST ROW: A.

S 3 r £ • £ iti r4 -, mx By losing a heart-breaking contest to their oldest rivals, Santa Rosa Junior Col¬ lege, in the last twenty seconds of play, the 1940 football eleven of the Salinas Junior College gave up all chances of retaining their conference championship which they had won the previous year. Sparked by the brilliant performances of their co-captains, Gor¬ don Brown and Willard Branson, the Panthers scored 110 points to their opponents 0 in the first three games of the season before dropping a 13-7 loss to Stockton. This de¬ feat also broke an undefeated home game record which the Panthers had run up for over a period of two and one-half years. With competition for a starting position very keen and due to the equality of ability among the players a definite starting team was never chosen until game time. And because of the fact that there were many contenders for the first string positions, they were generally selected from the following list, but with many potential perform¬ ers among the rest of the squad: Leonard, Chappell, Turner, Houser, Mhck, Cornett, Stewart, Trotter, Keeley, Hunter, Verhines, Branson, Arryoy, Brown, and Voris. AWARDS—The annual award which are given to two of the players for their individual performances were both won this year by members of the Panther backfield. Manny Chappell quarterback, received the Sproles watch for being the most valuable player, and Ralph Mack, hard plunging fullback, won the Perry trophy for being the most inspirational player of the year.

Efficient and understanding, Adams is head coach of basketball and baseball and has guided many outstanding performers to higher achievements. • PAGE 116 PRE-GAME INSTRUCTIONS Captain Took Tainer Tries for a Basket Ending the season in the upper division with a record of six wins and seven losses, the Salinas Junior College Panthers enjoyed their best year of competition since 1937 when they won the conference crown. Meeting some of the strongest teams in the state in tourna¬ ment play, the Panthers gave a good accounting of themselves by winning several of these games, among these being a victory over the highly touted Pasadena Junior College. Having to do much experimenting in the early part of the season, Coach Ed Adams finally found a suitable starting combination in Captain Took Tainer, Floyd Erickson, Charles Lee, John Lasich, and Frank McAllister, all of whom are sophomores. Although se¬ curing themselves a first string position, these men were hard pressed by the rest of the squad who were delighted with doing nothing better than to make them work to retain their hard earned positions. • PAGE 117 SJC FOLLOWS THROUGH • CAPTAIN TOOK TAINER Captain Took Tainer, sharp shooting high scorer for the Panthers, was one of the most outstanding players ever to have played in a Maroon and Gold uniform. Accurate shots and effective ball handling made Took the individual player of the season. A steadying influence and a natural bom leader which befitted his captaincy, he was respon¬ sible for saving many a game from defeat. • PAGE 118 TOOK TAINER Inaugurating a complete new system of competition, this year’s baseball team was considered by many to be one of the best in the history of the school. Withdrawing from the Northern California Junior College Con¬ ference, the Panthers played entirely free lance ball, meeting some of the stiffest jun¬ ior collge and semi-pro opposition that the state had to offer. Also introduced this year was the system of selecting the players from previously played intra-mural competition which resulted in an increased school inter¬ est in the sport.

Jim Ring, freshman half miler and holder of numerous high school records in that event, was one of the more outstanding individual performers for the Panthers during the past season. Bill Junkans and Doug Pearson, former one-two record holders in the O. A. L. hurdles, were very active participants and were always potential threats in the hurdle races. Curt Sikes, dash man on the Panther squad, was one of the quickest starters on the team. He enjoyed the distinction of finishing closer to Davis than any other junior college com¬ petitor. Lee Macauley, returning letter- man, aided by his year’s experi¬ ence in running the high hurdles, proved the mainstay in this event for the Panther squad. • PAGE 127 MM Ray Bergesen upheld the morale of the Panther vaulters during the season.

Defending titleholders of the NCJC champion¬ ship from last year, the Panthers have been conceded a good chance to re¬ peat their previous victory. With two returning veterans from last year’s campaign, Joe Hyatt and John Lasich, to bolster the Salinas hopes, this year’s edition of the tennis squad presents a formidable evenly bal¬ anced team.

Standout players of this group were George Bevan, Frank Thatcher and A1 Perez. JIM WEST • PAGE 129 F. THACKER G. BEVAN Boxing One of the best boxing teams that Coach Adams has been associated with in S. J. C. brought him many praises this year, especially in its debut against Cal Poly on Anniversary Day. This was a most success¬ ful afternoon for the Salinas pugilists since all but one of the decisions were awarded them. Fred Kostaras in the 126-pound class, Joe Sapena, a 135-pounder, and Markham Johnson in the 145-pound division were the first three winners. A knockout by 160- pound Herb Schiro, and a win by Cliff White, 170-pounder, climaxed the event.

Headed by their instructor, Mr. Langdon, the ski team enjoyed a successful season. The team entered in the NCJC championships which were held in Auburn and although only placing fourth in the contest, the team of Stuck, Garin, Hughes, Rich¬ ardson, and Pressley paved the way for future competi¬ tion for the school. SPEED GARIN JOHN HUGHES BOB STUCK Tumbling, under the guid¬ ance of Mr. Peavy, has in four years rocketed from the romper stage to a position from which it commands the interest and admiration of all onlookers. This year the tum¬ bling team provided enter¬ tainment at the football games, performing feats of precision. Although the boys spend much of their own time in regular hours of practice, they do not receive letters, as tumbling is a non-competi¬ tive sport. EXHIBITION TUMBLERS Tumblers TOP: E. Pybrum, D.

In the first semester twenty girls took part in an extra-curricular tournament from which Helen Bidleman emerged as victor by defeat¬ ing Mildred Burns. Despite the handicap of wet weather the regular classes—two of which were coeducational— managed to attain a high de¬ gree of skill in the course of a few months. Several smaller tournaments were held in which the players displayed almost professional ability— proof of the popularity of the game. ESTRELLA LAUBER VIRGINIA KIRBY • PAGE 134 MARY JEAN METCALF Archery This year the Archery classes— reinforced with new equipment— were more sought after than ever before with over forty girls enrolled. To add interest to the course, Miss Hutchinson held a novelty shoot on the last day of the fall semester in which elusive balloons were tied to the target. The person who popped the greatest number was sumptuously rewarded with a bag of peanuts. During the first semester, a very satisfactory tournament was held under the management of Betty Bingaman. The beginning classes, although inexpert at first, soon pro¬ gressed to a point from which they could easily hit the bull’s eye four times out of six while shooting from a distance of thirty yards.

NAGANO Modern Donee Most exotic of the physical educa¬ tion classes for women, modern danc¬ ing has taken a fair share of the en¬ tertainment spotlight this year. As part of the Allied Art’s “Evenings for Tomorrow” experiment they par¬ ticipated in both the winter and spring programs. The January 20th production in this series found the modern dance contribution outstand¬ ing in its simple interpretations of classic nursery rhymes. By far the most enterprising public appearance came in the spring. With choregra- phy entirely by flaming Freda Hutchinson, the graceful instructor, modern dance students presented a complete program. Novel effects, in¬ cluding step patterns paced by choral accompaniment, proved especially successful. • PAGE 136 KAY HAMM Top Constant practice of the involved routines learned in tap classes de¬ velops a precision of timing and rhythmic sense which will later be of value not only in ballroom dancing but in maintaining balance. Soft shoe, rhythm buck, and waltz-clog routines practiced in equal numbers throughout the course made pleasant¬ ly diversified dancing. Virginia Kirby, an especially talented mem¬ ber of the class, was encouraged by the instructor, Miss Hutchinson, to demonstrate several new routines for the benefit of the receptive classes. T.

The novice equestriennes, although timid at first, soon became quite adept and trotted their horses with an air of abandon. There were no riding tournaments held this year, but during the course of instruction, Jean McTavish and Gladyce Thom¬ sen showed themselves to be particu¬ larly capable horsewomen. • PAGE 140 JOYCE ROBERTS, DORIS BROWN, CAROL ANSLEY CANDID CAMERA Joyce Shuns Ribbons Roosevelt Won: Mac Rides—Louise Graham Pushes • PAGE 146 Ralph Mack, Herb Shiro appreciate cafe¬ teria fare Harold Stoughton, Evan Hushbeck, Dorothy Purdy, Verne Turner, Jack Kennedy, Ralph Mack and Mary Arnold Pre¬ fer the Front Steps Walt Trotter, Ham Murphy and Man¬ ny Chappel force an unwilling San¬ ta Rosan to eat humble pie.
