Hartnell College - La Reata Yearbook (Salinas, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1949 volume:

To bring you pictorial evidence of your daily life, as the first students of the new Hartnell, has been the aim of your 1949 yearbook staff. Mingled with your memories of the past year is the glamour of the gold rush, pioneer days, and the California Centennial years. Centennial California may drift through the pages of La Reata but it is you — in study and recreation, learning and living as you take lecture notes, studying for exams, worrying over term papers,, cheering the team, or dancing on Saturday nights — who make the heart of this book. May it be a living record of the past, to bring reminiscing in the future. CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ACTIVITIES SPORTS Changing the name DEDICATION “Eureka ” This was the cry heard one hundred years ago as prospectors found the gleam of gold in the Sierra. Today, we can again say, “I have found it,” for the oppor¬ tunity of obtaining an education and living in a state with bright prospects for the future is as precious as gold. William Edward Petty Hartnell opened the doors of his colegio to the sons of the wealthy dons in the winter of 1833-34. Within the thick adobe walls students and teachers seriously pondered mathematics, languages, philosophy, morals, and religion. But in early California such studies were unnecessary for success. Before the rush to Sutter’s Mill, Hartnell’s school became simply his residence. Years have passed and in that time education in California has advanced. Hartnell College, named for California’s first educator, offers a large variety of courses in the arts and sciences, liberal arts, and occupational fields. Greater progress, with a new junior college district, is seen for the future. So, in the spirit of ’49 - to the California pioneers of yesterday, today, and to¬ morrow — we dedicate La Reata. fk IN MEMORIAM ERNEST CASKEY ALFREDO MAOLENTY m YaL ■ ■ ' y J • W l u jb ' NlSjCr 1 S yrT J .i A if. ■ JP r ‘ i r HJ .y • ■-i i v :-•■ OUR CAMPUS Green lawns, the Panther, long corridors, and the many after-class discussions on the front steps will be long remembered by students who have spent most of their college hours on the main campus.

Vice-president Gamble also traveled to student government conferences and brought back valuable information for our own government.
