JOURNALISM M oii College 1-56 Homestead Av % Salinas, Ca 93901 LD6501.H6 R41943 tf-oJiewanA In this hectic era of madness, the publication of a yearbook could only result in the firm belief that it could be done. For converging upon us is the threat to all our ideals, to all our hopes, to all our lives. Only by the appli¬ cation of sustained knowledge can we pre¬ serve our heritage, and the foregoing pages of La Reata present the fragmentary mo¬ ments of the things we are fighting for. lliat % e fyieely Jlime ■.

Clarke, esteemed and devoted faculty member who, imbued with the spirit and ideals of higher education, has sought tirelessly and patiently by example and pre¬ cept, to convey to each passing generation the importance of achievement. Mr. Clarke has earned the trust and respect of all who have worked with him. 6 ft jHeaue Exerting its priority over faculty as well as student body, the war machine early claimed five of our instructors and our president. These men matched the exodus of students from the campus to the camps with their own migration from professorships in the esjaysee classrooms to positions of leadership in military groups. Reluctant to leave yet not the less glad to go, these officers of the United States armed forces fully realized the impact of Major Werner’s epitome, “Until we win, little else matters; unless we win, nothing else matters.” Major Werner Lt. Bengston Lt. Anselmo Lt. McCallum Capt. Adams Lt. Heinsen • 6 • • 7 • Ptelidetit Earl Sauble Earl F. Sauble succeeded a man difficult to suc¬ ceed. Former Dean of the College, Mr. Sauble worked in close harmony with organizational pro¬ cedure. His present administration, fraught with the uncertainties attendant on college education, has been marked with stability and progress. With a background of skilled training, with an under¬ standing and appreciation of student life, with a profound and unswerving sense of justice, Mr. Sauble effectively combines the qualities of initia¬ tive, diplomacy, and leadership. • 16 • John B. Lemos 9n ApjoSveciatio.it Luella Hall Of John B. Lemos and Luella Hall, able and un¬ derstanding counselors, whose service to the col¬ lege is one of distinction. Their task never easy has been doubly difficult this year, faced as they have been with marshaling the energies and the enthu¬ siasms of students toward the requisite training for winning the war and maintaining the peace. • 17 • SupesUnteudcnt School AdLniiniA.t ' iatio.n Despite the uncertainty of some phases of higher education, its existence remains preeminent in the minds of the personnel of the board of trustees. L nceasingly on the alert against pressure groups which would temporarily change the purposes of the college, the school board has remained our true champion. Dr. R. D. Case, secretary to the board and superintendent of the union district, super¬ vises with sincerity and interest the varied activi¬ ties of our school. As these men oversee our mental well-being so do the custodians oversee our physi¬ cal well-being by providing us with attractively kept campuses and halls and protecting our safety. • 18 • fiaasidt ajf Jkudteel Dr. Hayes President of Board Mr. Merrill Mr. Holme Dr. Farr Mr. Knowlton Malntena nee Mr. Laughton Superintendent Mr. McDougall Chief Custodian Mr. Graulich Head Gardener • 19 mM AdAo-ciated Students Under the handicap of “c’est la guerre” that is affecting our en¬ tire generation, the 1943 Commission of the Associated Students of Salinas Junior College has upheld with unprecedented perse¬ verance our standards and our traditions. The main duty of the student administrative board is to set the policies governing activities. At best an arduous job, this year the decisions necessi¬ tated by changing economic, social and educational status en¬ compassed a far broader field than has been previously experi¬ enced by Salinas’ student administrators. Selected by the student body for ability and sagacity in their particular fields, the mem¬ bers of the commission are a concentrate of Salinas Junior Col¬ lege life and energy; they are the nucleus of campus animation.

Not only are they meeting these demands but they are re-arranging their teaching program to aid the students in forming a correct war psychology. Thus, they are equipping us academically and inspirationally, so that our educational system will not weaken nor fall into the hungry claws of our enemies. • 26 • Louis Eris Darwin Peavy Eldon Gardner W.

Also of con¬ spicuous achievement are those who excell in leadership, character, scholarship, and citizenship. Designated for this award sponsored by the American Legion were Clara Mae Page and Bill Gruber. Alongside these students are the many who are potential “Graduates of Distinction.” Band Clarinet VICTORY SONG Ra-ta-ta-ta our V for Victory Signals a challenge to the foe.

Don McDermid and Clyde Downey The Rally Committee was a small but potent group whose main activity was to promote spirit and enthusiasm during the football season, but their interests did not stop there. Faced with the universal problem of war, the Committee ad¬ mirably coped with the situation, staged weekly rallys and provided two energetic cheer leaders, Don McDermid and Clyde Downey, who along with the “Three V’s” stimulated the student masses. • 48 Radio, and bebate Standing: Art Gandy, Russell Boldt, Ted Whiting, Gordon Hughes, Peggy Schmeeckle, Ruth Schalow, Howard Verutti.

Available material was some of the best dra¬ matic talent ever to tread the boards of the little theater. Spot-lighted productions were the Christmas and Washington Day pro¬ grams and the spring play, “Out of the Fry¬ ing Pan.” • 50 • Mu ic Left to right: Hazelton, Goerling, Earl, Mr. McCann, Phillips, Axford, Feliz, Fleming, Harmer, Huston, Anderson, Howard, Blackwell, Spencer, Sims, McCann.

Dorothy Owens, Martha Rudd, Mr. Borough, Connie Lamont, Hal Watts, Harold Coehlo, Cecilia Conrado, Bob Scrivani PanUieb Sentinel Overcoming the obstacles of printing difficulties, re¬ duced size, newsprint, rationing, decreased staff and initiation of new quarters, the Salinas Junior College weekly publication was launched this year under a new flag, the Panther Sentinel. Formerly the Bat¬ tery, the Panther Sentinel edited by Don Bar- sotti continued presenting the news of the campus, until he was called into active service, at which time Martha Rudd took over the editorial leadership. Out¬ standing in the class were as follows: Dorothy Owens, Cecilia Conrado, Frances Nelson, and Billie Lee. Don Barsotti, Editor Ray Wood, Billie Lee, Don Barsotti, Dorothy Owens, Martha Rudd, Frances Nelson, Helen Jane O’Brien, Cecilia Conrado Established on the campus for the greater part of the term were three larges classes of men training for the Army Signal Corps. The classes made use of our government approved facilities and were under the tutorage of our technical instructors—Messrs. Bullis, Anderson, Mon¬ day, and Smith. It was an honor for our campus to be selected by the army as a suitable place for their training base. Many of the boys who en¬ listed in this program were former Salinas Jun¬ ior College students. Graduates from this corps will defend their country in the role of recon- naisance. Upper row , left to right : Weston, Hayes, Scott, Black, Williams, and Cowie. Lower row , left to right : Mr. Leslie Anderson, Crabtree, Konevich, Pelster, Phillips, Sanlovich, and Taylor. • 54 • fco-tid bniue Extending their war stamp and bond selling activities from our campus to the Salinas Army Air Base these representative Salinas Junior Col¬ lege women in a one day drive at that station boosted the sales within the vicinity of a four figure mark. The girls who participated in the Air Base sale took part also in the club-sponsored Victory Days at the col¬ lege. Interest in this movement was stimulated on the campus by the forceful editorial tactics of the Panther press. • 64 • ' Sopit Shota The inspirational masterpiece that was the ’42 soph show surpassed all its traditional predecessors in cast, content, and comedy value. The thunderous applause and uproarous laughter that were the audience’s recep¬ tion of the laugh riot were measuring sticks which deter¬ mined the success of the show. Presented yearly for the entertainment of the student body, the superior quality of this class’ production was the result of the master touch of director, Beverly Van Buren, and the outstand¬ ing ability of the players.

It was their problem to arrange the social calendar for a year of orientation to new situations and new difficulties. Coping with adverse conditions, primarily transporta¬ tion and budget, they presented a “White Christmas” Winter Ball that surpassed dance delights of less trying years. Wes. Hammond Mesvi Club Field Day—the thrill of the race over wall and stream— the tug of war mixed with mire and mud—and then the supper, fit for a king, for kings and their ladies were there: kings of the Salinas Junior College campus who, under the leadership of Hal Coehlo, had made all of this possible.

The first team had little to worry about in regard to positions with one exception. Bob Steele and Hank McMasters had to work hard to keep ahead of Bobby Campbell and Tommy Freeman. The turnout was small but the spirit was great, and when the Cal Poly and Sacra¬ mento games were over there could be no doubt as to how good a fighting spirit there really was. There will be future teams and bigger ones, but the Junior College football team of 1942 typifies the spirit of grit and fight that will win this war. Irregardless of the heavy odds, the Panthers scored triumphs over Visalia and San Francisco State and gained a hard fought tie with Compton Junior College.

Colburn Campbell McMasters Beam Dalcin Garnero Serrano flasikethall Martinison Terry Stroh Gruber Marks Perez Verutti Seeley Owing to the shortage of college competition, the games of the season were successfully played against the military. The two inter-college games were with Menlo Junior College and San Jose State frosh. Members of the team were as follows: Martinison, Gruber, Verutti, Stroh, Condon, Perez, Terry, Marks, Franco, Mausalimas, Parker and Stivers. 7loch Carrying on the best Panther tradition, Salinas Junior College track stalwarts partici¬ pated in a varied “43” schedule. Outstanding in early competition were Martinison and Hiserman, who ably took care of the sprint, hurdles, and broadjump. Stivers, Kenealy, Seeley, and Schmidt aided in giving the Panthers a well rounded point-winning aggregation. feaiehall A small but enthusiastic squad reported for initial practice. However, the rains and con¬ flicting academic schedules prevented regular practice. Nevertheless, the team played a limited schedule against nearby service teams. The following boys made up the 1943 edition of the Salinas Junior College roster: Perez, Rettig, Stivers, Verutti, Gabriel, Hawkins, Jacoby, Choisser, Garnero, and McDermid. Top row: Hoke, Steele, Smith, Gabriel, Wilson Bottom row: Perez, Verutti, Stroh, Seeley. Despite the proverbial shadow of the draft lurking over the heads of Salinas Junior Col¬ lege men, the “43” golf team was a logical nominee for the sports ‘‘Hall of Fame.” Out¬ standing members of the team were as follows: Smith, Verutti, Steele, Wilson, Perez, Conradi, Gabriel, Seeley. etuUl Top row: Franco, Martinison, Gruber, Coy, Baker, Peavy. Bottom row: Hawkins, Stroh, Terry. This year s tennis team upheld the prestige of the Junior College by showing skill and ability. Trekking to neighboring communities, the team met their opponents with confi¬ dence and composure. The members of the team who were responsible for a successful season were Condon, Franco, Terry, Hawkins, Gruber, Tosta, Stivers, Cov (liai+Kj, For three hours each Friday the riding class composed of Sturla, Rowe, Scrivani, Crane, and Wilabe, accompanied by Mrs. John Murrin, explored the trails of the old Spanish rancheros.
