Duet for Two Hands (left), a British drama, started the season in November. The Christmas presentation was The Robe, with the story setting in Jerusalem, one year after the crucifixion of Christ. Climaxing the season was the colorful Lute Song (above), an ancient Chinese drama, which was written in the fourteenth century. One of the best seasons for the College-Community Players, the 1954-55 season showed marked growth in participation by students and increased attendance by the community.

Vocational nurses enjoy campus life at Hartnell L � Coach OCn CBlue Coach Ken Blue took over the chore of continuing a 23-game winning streak, an impossible situation in the eyes of more game- wise football authorities. Coach Blue, a veteran of the United States Air Force, leveled with faithful students and alumni when he told them, Hart¬ nell is far from fielding a club capable of continuing any winning streak. True enough, the capable coach watched his rookies fight hard, but come out on the short end of a 4-6 season record. Hartnell ' s Mentor Ken Blue impressed the students and fac¬ ulty with his thoroughness both on the field and in the class¬ room. Few coaches can maintain the poise of experience when battling great odds, but Mr. Blue proved the master. Coach Blue ' s brilliant coaching performance, bringing to¬ gether raw material that lacked experience, and shaping it into a grid threat, is remarkable indeed. Those who know Coach Blue, watched him struggle through the 1954 season, and direct his squad to a brilliant upset win against highly favored Monte¬ rey Peninsula College in the final game, know that Hartnell had another great year. Doug Baldwin, sports editor of the Salinas Californian, summed up Coach Blue ' s efforts. Ken brought his team to the top along a tough road, he taught the team something they ' ll never forget — the desire to win against great odds — and it paid off.

The Panther squad won four out of its last five contests, winning against San Mateo and Cal. Poly and losing a close game to San Jose. Hartnell came back strong to defeat traditional cross-county rival Monterey Peninsula College on Thanksgiving Day to close out the 1954 season with a 4-6 record. Coach Blue drew high praise from fans for bring¬ ing to a successful peak Hartnell ' s greenest squad in almost 15 years. Deel, Mendoza — power in action A W w w Returning Veterans C halk Talk Coffee Break Blocking Practice mmm 9 7Z eason yTinate Hartnell veteran fullback Tom Kyle and scatback Paul Nava started their final junior college football contest against Monterey Peninsula College, last Thanksgiving Day. Both Kyle and Nava saw action with the undefeated Harts of last season. Kyle ' s brilliant record in 1953, a 7.4 net average per carry, swept him into all-con¬ ference honors. Halfback Paul Nava, while playing only second string in 1953, carried the ball 32 times in 10 contests for a total of 195 yards. He netted 188 yards or 5.9 yards per carry and scoring three touchdowns. This season both Kyle and Nava fell off their 1953 pace, but still were outstanding on offense and defense. Six other seniors who saw action on Thanksgiving Day at the Salinas high school stadium include six outstanding line prospects. Linemen Ron Earl, Gary Schnieckert (top left), Marvin Roberts (lower right), Bob Tomczak, Bill Williams, and Gene Deel closed out their junior college football ca¬ reers. Coach Ken Blue counted on eight seniors to spark the Panthers against the highly regarded Monterey eleven. We needed the experi¬ ence of men such as Roberts, Kyle, and Schnieckert. Our club improved 100 per cent since the season opener against Yuba Jaycee, Blue stated. He pointed out that the veterans did a lot to help bring along outstanding prospects such as quarterback Chuck Fi I ice. Filice was our second string quarter¬ back, Blue stated. I wouldn ' t be surprised to find Chuck Filice giving Takeo Hirahara a good race for quarterback next year. — STEVE KNEGO QJootbaLl 1954 Hartnell 7 -Yuba 51 Hartnell 2 _Porterville 7 Hartnell 19 _L.A.

Hartnell College looks like a great prospect for honors next year, pointed out Mike Welds, former publicity man for the Junior Rose Bowl. Others heaped praise on the rug¬ ged Hartnell eleven that upset Monterey Peninsula College in the Big Game of Northern California junior college football. Coach Ken Blue ' s charges beat Monterey 19-6 before more than 6,000 fans in Salinas, Thanksgiving Day. Tom Kyle, fullback; Paul Nava, halfback, Marvin Rob¬ erts, guard; and Gary Schnieckert, tackle; can ' t be praised enough, Blue said. He pointed out that the entire squad showed tremendous improvement since its first contest against Yuba at Marysville last September. Takeo Hirahara (right) will be back for 1955, Blue said. Takeo boasts a passing completion record of 55 per cent for five contests. While it isn ' t a startling figure I believe it rates as another Hartnell ' Believe It or Not ' ! Blue re¬ vealed that Hirahara had played in only six games in his en¬ tire life, including high school and junior college, and the last contest was played with Hirahara sporting a broken hand. Only after the final gun did Takeo Hirahara reveal his injury which was diagnosed as a break and his throwing hand put in a cast. Hirahara, along with Gary Schnieckert, received recognition by being named to the all-conference team. When the 1954-55 collegiate basketball season got un¬ der way in the Salinas Valley, the Hartnell College Panthers placed a quintet on the hardwoods that would give any jun¬ ior college in the nation a tough battle. Coach Ed Adams (left) and his assistant, Jess Regli were greeted by twenty-eight fu¬ ture George Mikans for the opening day of practice, November 1. A larger number turned out following the football season. The Panthers had two returning letter- men from last year ' s squad which placed second in their conference, Howard Lum and Jack Rowley, both of whom played first string guards. Lum who stands 6 feet, was the team quarterback and the ball handler of the crew. On the other hand, Rowley at 6 feet 3 inches is a point maker and led the team in the scoring parade. Two forwards, Walt Harris and Ron Ski 11 icorn, helped the Panther five gain additional speed. Harris at 5 feet 11 inches played freshman ball for the University of Santa Clara last season, and Ski 11 icorn, who stands 5 feet 11 inches, played for the San Jose State Frosh one season. Lanky Hal Boutte, playing with a broken jaw, was one of the best men in the pivot post. A former two-time all-Coast Counties Athletic League selection while in high school, Boutte paced his team to the Tournament of Champions at Berkeley last year.
