£a Recvba £a£.Ltial utiLo-k £a£inal, ° 5 QA Twenty-one years of democracy in action are behind the Associated Students of Salinas Jun¬ ior College. Since the college was established, student government has rested with the students; a minimum of supervision has prevailed. The administration has wisely left student problems up to the students and they have profited by solving their own problems. To the continuance of the successful self-gov¬ ernment which thrives at Salinas Junior College, we dedicate this book. Pictorial evidence of the 1947-48 year at Salinas Junior College is what the La Reata staff has attempted to present with this volume. Editorial comment has been kept to a minimum, and photography has been emphasized, knowing that pic¬ tures, rather than words, can best cap¬ ture the memories which students will want to take with them. standing: Claud Addison Karl J.

UpAiton Sxunma GAL One of the main functions of Upsilon Gamma Chi, the college women’s organi¬ zation, was the promotion of Sadie Haw¬ kins’ Day. Transforming the campus into famed Dogpatch, the women captured their mates and toted them to the annual dance in the men’s gym that evening. Among the other activities of the club was the spon¬ soring of the Christmas Party, the spring picnic, and the Ribbonero. Yl vuman Stub Representing the Catholic students of Salinas Junior College in student activi¬ ties was the Newman Club. The club sponsored a float in the gala Homecoming Day celebration and shared the responsi¬ bility of bringing the Pomona Glee Club here. Among the year’s outstanding achieve¬ ments was the successful Newman Club dance during football season. The mem¬ bers were entertained by several guest speakers and afternoon luncheons.

Besides nominating a queen and entering a float in the Homecoming Day festivities, the club sponsored several out¬ standing features for their members. Re¬ ligious topics of the day were discussed by competent speakers at several of the West¬ minster meetings.

Several W.A.A. playdays were sponsored with as many women as possible entered in competition against other schools. The women traveled along with the men in the annual N.C.J.C.

Weekend jaunts to the snow-covered Yo- semite and Sequoia playgrounds were greeted with enthusiasm. Despite the dis¬ comfort of minor aches and pains, the Ski Club always had an enjoyable time. For the second consecutive year the club spon¬ sored a student body dance.

ItpJtvCL Artists at work Qj tta tLpAilojri Composed of all the college art students, the Alpha Delta Epsilon is one of the most important organizations in the school. Through the efforts of these students, all student activities are given adequate pub¬ licity. Using their artistic skill on posters, banners, and signs the Art Club served the school in the best manner possible. The works of several outstanding regional art¬ ists were displayed in the Art Gallery. - Pat Smythe EDITOR IN ACTION Ray Collins PHOTOGRAPHER Walter Cooper PHOTOGRAPHER Editor Pat Smythe and his staff worked long and hard, attending virtually all college events, to pre¬ sent this year ' s La Reata. The staff attempted to cover every point of interest on the campus, academic and extra-curricular. The dance in the fall, co-sponsored by La Reata and Panther Sentinel, helped to fi¬ nance the annual and avoided the necessity of advertisements. Mr. Stuart Dufour was staff advisor.

Between-the-acts music for the fall and spring dramatic productions was furnished by the orchestra, led by Mr. Lorell McCann.

Robert Jensen Mary Joan Rodriguez SOLOISTS _ i Cast for “Jane Eyre” was, left to right, Marguerite Sanders, Nancy Watson, Joseph Herson, Marylou Hutson, Andy DiGirolamo, Jim Clark, Joan Waite, Minnie Belle Walker and Donna Musler tm The Salinas Junior College drama department undertook the hard task of presenting one of the great dramatic offerings of our time when they se¬ lected Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” for their win¬ ter presentation. To put over a play of that im¬ pact and power, they took a great deal of practice and preparation, but their efforts were rewarded with success. Under the able direction of Miss Faith Fraser, the all-star college cast headed by Joan Waite, Jim Clark, and Marylou Hutson, accom¬ plished another achievement in Salinas Junior Col¬ lege thespian history. Included in the cast for “Char¬ ley’s Aunt” were: back row, stand¬ ing, Jack Wilson, Nancy Watson, Marguerite Sanders, John Eastman, Marylou Hutson, Harry Lee, Phyllis Williams, and Bob Bushta. Seated are: Dick Rohrbacher,Donna Mus- ler, Jim Clark, Minnie Belle W alker and T om Wilcox. Brandon Thomas’ famous play, “Char¬ ley’s Aunt,’’ was the spring production of the Salinas Junior College Drama Depart¬ ment. Presented Thursday and Friday, May 6 and 7, the comedy starred Jim Clark as Lord Fancourt Babberly who imperson¬ ates Charley’s Aunt, and Marylou Hutson as Donna Lucia ’D Alvadorez.

Com¬ plete with the traditional mudhole, scene of the sophomore-freshman mud brawl, the day’s festivi¬ ties were proclaimed a success. Women steered clear of the rampaging men who tossed everything and everybody within reach into the hole. Culminating the day’s activities was the annual supper at which the winners of the “whisker-grow¬ ing” contest were named by a group of faculty judges. Entertainment by various members of the student body added to the occasion. Following the dinner the students proceeded to the football game where the locals responded to the cheering with a last minute 12-7 win over San Mateo.

Sponsored annually by U.G.C., the dance boasted of intermission entertainment, which included a pie-eating contest in which the men participated. Square dances were enjoyed toward the end of the evening by the appropriately dressed Dog- patch dancers. Its nighty night What, no vest? The Rally Committee and the Freshman Class co-operated to give the annual Pajamarino dance. The fall event was attended by pajama-clad stu¬ dents and their guests. Prizes were awarded for outstanding night attire and intermission enter- if! tainment was enjoyed by the group. Hail the victors One of the most festive social events of the season was the annual Winter Ball held at Rio Del Mar in mid-De¬ cember. The theme was a “Winter Wonderland.” The setting provided an appropriate background for the long-awaited social affair. The plans for the ball were made by Social Ac¬ tivities chairman, Loren Ingols. More than 100 couples attended the formal winter event.

The Spring Prom was the first school affair ever held at the newly opened night spot and was well attended. Night out for the Ericksons A good «« � “ tad The fellows have a little get-together Dancing was the popular way of ending an evening during the football and basketball seasons. In the fall, students would journey from the Salinas stadium after the football games to dance in the J.C. men’s gym. During the winter basketball season the court was cleared following the games for dancing to some pop¬ ular orchestra.

The Panthers’ most de¬ cisive victory came against the powerful San Francisco Rams. They ruined the city eleven’s title hopes by swamping them, 27-7. Probably the most thrilling en¬ counters were played against San Mateo and Sacra¬ mento. Charlie Mornard flipped a short pass to Clar¬ ence Twitchell for a last second score to topple San Mateo, 12-7, while the Panthers were barely edged out in a see-saw passing duel at Sacramento, 32-27.

Twice one field goal would have meant victory for the Salinas five over the Menlo and Marin quintets. Marin eventually went on to win the National Invitational Junior College title. Most consistent performers for the locals were Jerry Hoagland and Russ Bohlke. Both Hoagland and Bohlke were given second string berths on the all-conference selections.
