Sadie Hawkins 9 Day Spring Prom Spring Play Season s Sports Sophomore Class CONTENTS In presenting this year’s annual, the staff of the 1947 La Reata has deviated from the traditional ar¬ rangement of sections. It is desired to present the year’s activities in chronological order; thus the reader can start at the beginning and receive a com¬ plete pictorial review of the year. The book is di¬ vided into three sections, accomplishing a theme cen¬ tered around the seasons, fall, winter, and spring. This is a natural division of the year; and all the ac¬ tivities, social, athletic, musical, and dramatic, follow the seasons. There is an undefinable fascination in the words fall, winter, and spring; and there is magic in the seasons themselves. It is hoped that from the open pages of the 1947 La Reata the spirit of the seasons may work their charm in recalling vivid and enjoyable memories of the year 1946-47. FORWARD This year’s dedication is to Miss Ruth Rothrock, who has displayed untiring assistance and a pleasant attitude in advising student officers on financial mat¬ ters in her responsible position as student auditor. Since 1937, when she began her work in this capacity, Miss Rothrock has been looked to by student offi¬ cers as the final word on matters requiring financial farsightedness. Coming to Salinas Junior College from Sutter Un¬ ion High School in 1924, Miss Rothrock has served faithfully in her position of teacher-advisor. Effi¬ ciency and an understanding for her subject have marked her career here. Throughout many school seasons, h r leadership has guided students to further investigation of ca¬ reers in business and commercial fields. DEDICATION ADMINISTRATION The administrators began the autumn season with the registration of eight hun¬ dred and twenty-three students. They came in contact with many veterans who were eager in their approach to scholastic life. The advisors found many new responsibili¬ ties in preparing schedules for students with changed minds, new outlooks, and a conscious yearning for educational advan¬ tages. Throughout all three of the school seasons pictured herein, both students and administration were motivated with a fresh spirit of activity. J. B. Lemos PRESIDENT B. L.

Jr j Earl Arnett David Geery Marge Diaz THE COMMISSION Taking the helm at the beginning of the year and guiding the student activities and program to a safe shore was the Student Commission. One of the most outstanding accomplishments of the Commission was the organizing of the All-State Junior Col¬ lege Conference. The conference was held at Salinas Junior College in November with students from junior colleges all over California in attendance. Individual prob¬ lems of each school were presented in dis¬ cussion groups. Another accomplishment of the commis¬ sion was the arranging of artist concert se¬ ries which were held at different intervals throughout the year. These students of the commission deserve a vote of thanks for their hard work in the interest of the stu¬ dent body.

Dancing to the music of Herb Miller’s orchestra, the student body and faculty also enjoyed refreshments and entertainment. Tony Mercante, newly-elected student body president, welcomed the new students in his first speech of the year. The eve¬ ning’s entertainment consisted of the skit of the barroom shooting of “Dan¬ gerous Dan McGrew,” with Holt Wood as “Dan,” and several numbers by Mar¬ vin Davis’ Quartette from Bus 16. The dance was sponsored by the Social Ac¬ tivities Committee and was a big success leading to many more throughout the year. THE BEGINNING °l SEASON As always, those who refused to grow beards experienced a brawl in the mud hole dug by Frosh Following the Whiskerino and Ribbonero was the annual Field Day sponsored by the Mens Club Contests were held in both mens and women s sports , Freshmen versus Sophomores Whiskers and ribbons were judged at the chicken dinner served at the end of the day x? WHISKERIND N A THE FRESHMAN ELASS The increase of the Freshman Class required careful planning and keen supervision in order to bring the school season to a successful conclusion. The officers’ work was more than satisfactory to fulfill their peacetime responsibilities. First row: O. Burke, M. Breslauer, D. Campbell, C. Breschini, N. Caliva, C. Cahill, N. Bua, M. Borges, P.

The reorganized forty-piece musical group, under the direction of Mr. Lo- rell McCann, provided music for all lo¬ cal football games and added color by parading at half-time with Drum Major Bernard Paduska and Majorettes Jac¬ queline Felman, Mimi Rookledge, and Joy Huntington in the lead. After the first successful noon per¬ formance on a sunny day in March, in¬ formal concerts were frequently held on the campus lawn for the entertain¬ ment of the student body. Music for rallies and regular assem¬ blies was always capably provided by the talented group. Gerald Magoon, featured soloist for the band, also assisted Mr. McCann in directing duties. % Bernard Paduska Attired in their fancy dress uniforms, the March¬ ing Band always presented a well dressed appearance MARCHING Majorettes Mimi Rook- ledge, Jacqueline Felman, and Joy Huntington always put on an excellent exhibition ORCHESTRA The String Quartette played at student body assemblies of both orchestra concerts and vocal presentations Under the direction of Mr. Lorell McCann, the Junior Col¬ lege Concert Orchestra presented several fine performances for the student body and played for the dramatic productions Several junior college girls made up the Vocal Ensemble , which sang for student events throughout the year, under the di¬ rection of Miss Gertrude Lowe Another excellent singing group was the A Cappella, the mixed chorus . It presented musical programs for the student body — the outstanding one be¬ ing the Christmas assembly A CAPPELLA Published once a week by the Asso- cited Student Body of Salinas Junior College, the Panther Sentinel this year published a much larger paper than during the war. During the first semester, the paper was edited by Miss Peggy Ann Taylor. “Topper” Arnett took over the editor’s job for the second semester, ending the long reign of feminine editors that pre¬ vailed during the war years. 4 nn T( a yio, PANTHER LA REATA A larger book, with padded cover, was published this year by the Associated Student Body of the junior college. This year’s staff was faced with serious shortages of photographic materials, but man¬ aged to compile a pictorial for the three seasons.

Front row, Jeannette Peterson, Alyce Brown During the past year, the Junior Soropti- inists have held a number of luncheons down town, which featured experienced guest speakers. The organization itself is spon¬ sored by the Salinas Soroptimists who have been a great benefit to the girls from junior college planning on having a business career following graduation. They are under the leadership of Miss Faith Fraser. fr ALPHA-DELTA-EPSILON All members of the Alpha Delta Epsilon are members of the art classes Under the direction of Mr. Leon Amvx, Alpha Delta Epsilon worked together to put forth many art exhibits of high standing.

W.S.S.F. committee members were Charles Link, Ruth Alarid, Jeanne Stanbery, Roger Erickson, Shirley Paul, and Jacquelyn Anderson. WORLD-STUDENT-SERVICE BLOCK S SOCIETY Gaining prominence again after a long hibernation , the Block “S” Society came forth in the spring with a bang-up dance having an athletic theme Led by officers Clarence Twitchell, vice- president; George Gossler, secretary-treas¬ urer; and Harold Hunter, president, the Block “S” was able to get back to its post¬ war dimensions this year. The Block “S” probably suffered more than any other Sa¬ linas Junior College group from the wartime manpower shortage. W. A. A. The Women’s Athletic Association consisted of women who were interested in participat¬ ing in extra-curricular sports activities. Blocks and pins were awarded to members who earned them during the year. The sponsor¬ ing of a spring play day and the selling of soft drinks at l ocal basketball games were among the organization’s outstanding activi¬ ties for the year. Officers Lorraine Morgan, Shir¬ ley Paul, Ruth McBride, and Betty Head worked tirelessly on the S.J.C. sports program for 1946-47 which fea¬ tured participation in a play day at San Francisco Junior College SOCIAL ACTIVITIES During the p ist year, the Social Activities Committee has held several dances and all were social events of the year. Two main dances were the Winter Ball and the Spring Prom; but they also have to their credit the Freshman receptions, which gave incoming students the chance to get acquainted with students and teachers.

Under the leadership of Dr. Luella Hall, advisor, the first semester officers were Dick Heim, David Hill, Betsy Volk, and Ber¬ tha Black. Second semester officers were Dick Heim, Lloyd Smith, Carol McCann, and Bar¬ bara Timmins.

DAY SADIE HAWKINS’ Sadie Hawkins’ Day transformed the campus into a Dogpatch scene as many a Lil’ Abner and Daisy Mae entered into the spirit of the occasion. Not even the cripples were spared at the starting gun. In the evening a dance in the Men’s Gym climaxed the day’s fun, as the girls appeared with their prize catches. As the last big social event of the year, the Spring Prom was held. Those who attended the formal dance thoroughly enjoyed the fine evening made possible by hard-working members of the Social Activities Committee. For many of the students, it was their last college formal dance and will remain a cherished memory.

JANUARY THAW” On the evenings of May first and second, the dramatics class, under the direction of Miss Faith Fraser, suc¬ cessfully produced the modern Amer¬ ican comedy 6 January Thaw.” Unique interpretations and original charac¬ terizations made the presentation one of choice entertainment. SPRING PLAY Baseball this season got off to an excellent start with all the play¬ ers displaying a keen enthusiasm for the sport. With but a few de¬ feats, the position maintained in the season was one of competitive achievement.

BASEBALL SEASON Handicapped by a small turnout, the locals had hut mediocre success while competing in dual meets; however, the small hand of fighting athletes went on to score an impressive record in the larger invita¬ tional meets. TRACK Sparked by George Gossler, Northern California Junior College tennis singles champion for 1946, the Salinas Junior Col¬ lege tennis team went ahead with a suc¬ cessful spring tennis season. s GOLF Golf had one of its largest turnouts in the history of the college this fall. Playing its maches on the fa¬ mous Del Monte course, the team went on to an out¬ standing season. A green but eager group at the beginning of the season, the college boxing team rounded into an agressive group of bard fighting pugilists by the sea¬ son’s close. Richard Burns BOXING THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Smaller in number than the Freshman Class, the Sophomore Class held an important position in student activities and sports. Many members of the class held official positions in college organizations. Their contributions to such departments as journalism, music, art, and dramatics were numerous and impres¬ sive. Many members of the class were students here several years ago, their educational careers having been interrupted by the world conflict. All of the graduates have earned the student body’s highest praise, congratulations, and good wishes.
