An expanded curriculum has been designed to meet the needs of the 1,000 daytime students and the 800 extended day students whose wide range of goals and interests include preparation for academic transfer, the attainment of vocational background in a general field, or the acquiring of a general education. New opportunities for students to broaden their intellectual scopes are constantly being introduced. The lat¬ est are the series of faculty-student discussions and a series of science and art lectures. The present program of study has evolved through the efforts of the faculty under the administration of Dr. J. Frederic Ching, superintendent of Salinas Unified School District since 1947 and superintendent-presi¬ dent of Hartnell since 1957.

Education is no longer man¬ datory, and as such the pursuit of further knowledge is the individual’s responsibility. Managing this “new independence” is the first step in the freshman’s college career.

At Hartnell College, Associated Students’ President Bob Braun and his eighteen Student Commissioners have upheld this concept through their efforts and activities for the betterment of the college and the students. Outstanding among these was the inception of a program for both physical and financial assistance to fellow student Roy Phelps, blinded in a chemistry accident. Interclub Council Officers Linda Brauch Treasurer Jenny Porno Secretary Maynard Potter President Development of mutual interests through clubs and societies is an important phase of Hartnell campus life. Groups are organized to augment academic in¬ terests, to associate individuals of similar social, reli¬ gious or national beliefs, for athletic purposes, or just for fun. A unique feature of the club program during the past year was the variety of money-raising projects sponsored for the benefit of Roy Phelps, fellow stu¬ dent who was blinded in a chemistry accident.

Dr. Howard Feder be¬ ing faculty member in charge and Jim Maloney and Roger Jones representing the associated students. Among the current topic discussed were pros and cons of capital punishment, biology and man, marine biol¬ ogy life, John C. Fremont, the pathfinder, frontiers in mathematics, and pride and prejudice from the psy¬ chologist’s point of view. Student- ' pacuCty DtACU44i M a «� r ci a i Revival of the Associated Men Students’ Field Day proved a huge success. Approximately 200 partici¬ pated in the intraschool sports competitions, special events including a student vs. faculty volleyball game and a mudhole tug-of-war between the students. The day’s activities ended with a spaghetti dinner being served to 150 people. Chuck Allen, president of the group, was responsible for the program.

Alumni and faculty gathered for a pre¬ game dinner, with Dr. Stanley Parker, alumni presi¬ dent, in charge. Sparking the Panther gridmen on to victory, rallies were held prior to each of the competitions, with Walter Sorenson, Student Commissioner of Rallies, making the arrangements. Pompon girls enter¬ tained in conjunction with the cheerleaders and Coach Ken Blue and his staff pep-talked to the student body. The combination proved successful, with large turnouts for the games. Freshman talent was on parade for one of the Friday assembly periods. Carol Sue Burns entertained with an Arabian acrobatics dance, while Darla Harris was spotlighted with the Janet Woodard, John McKay and David Satre trio providing the background music.

The former Miss Japan was attended by Miss China in the person of Darlene Gin; Miss Mexico, Sophia Gracia; Miss Philippines, Frankie Bulilis; and Laura- lee Hester as Miss U.S.A. Bestowing these honors on the queen was Ramona Insular, International Club president. “Polynesian Holiday’’ was the theme carried out for the annual Winter Ball held at the “Outrigger” on Cannery Row in Monterey. Buffet supper was served to the 110 couples, who were in semiformal attire for the occasion. Dancing was to the music of Dean Peake’s five-piece combo.

First curtain call was on “Diary of Anne Frank ' starring Marion Lewis in the title role of this World War II epic. Turning to television, Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” was presented, George Whitney por¬ traying Scrooge. Third bell-ringer was “Wit¬ ness for the Prosecution,” with Michael Bun- tin as the young Londoner accused of mur¬ der.

Standing: Fred Harris, Chuck Allen, Editor; Jerry McFadden, Ron Thompson La Reata A change in the yearbook policy was made this term to present a more worthwhile and entertaining memento of the year 1959-60 for the students. Most of the work was done during the first part of the spring semester, put¬ ting additional pressure and rush on the small staff. With consistent effort, the staff worked extra hard to present this book to you. We hope you like it. Left to right: Larry Heer, Roger Jones, Jim Maloney, John Fitzpatrick, Nancy Willis, Tom Alderson, editor The Seed One of the main contributions to establish a more cultural atmosphere on campus has been the launching of a literary magazine, ' ‘The Seed.” The magazine serves its purpose in presenting to the student body and to the pub¬ lic the creative ability and talents of Hartnell students in composing poems, short stories, reviews and essays. This is the first literary magazine the college has ever put out. Effort from the small staff should result in a successful and wholesome annual. v ' Panther Sentinel Judy Wong Fall Semester Editor Jerry McFadden Spring Semester Editor Susan Knepper, Reporter Mr. Paul Johnson, Adviser Aiming to bring to the student body a complete and accurate coverage of campus news, the Sentinel staff was kept busy during the year doing just that. The over-all theme of this year of publication was the very appropriate “To Present the News, Without Fear or Favor.” Besides putting out the paper each week, the staff took part in a regional journalism conference at Sac¬ ramento and the state California Intercollegiate Press Association convention in San Francisco. In spite of the limited help in covering the cam¬ pus news, the staff did its best to insure a truthful and just coverage of Hartnell’s activities.

Coach Blue and his assistants started the league competition handicapped by the loss of eight of the previous year’s starting lineup, plus the blow of injuries to first string tackles Mike Porter and Norman Colman. Hartnell’s loss of Ken Blue, Panther football mentor since 1954, was the University of New Mexico’s gain. Blue accepted the position of backfield coach for the Albuquerque Lob os, and in March bid his adieu to assume these new duties. Highlights of Coach Blue’s career as director of the Hartnell eleven were an undefeated season in 1958, the honor of serving on the Rules Committee of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in 1958, in ’58 and ’59 coaching of the West squads in the National Junior College All-American All-Star football games, and the 1959 Alfalfa Bowl victory.

Coached by Barney Mul¬ doon, the Panthers were handicapped by a lack of height as well as experience. Outstanding scorer for the Panthers was Charlie Noel, who netted 16.1 points per game. Blocks were awarded to Noel, Joe Cahppell, Sal Martinez, Brad Tomasini, Gary Dauberg, Tru¬ man Bankston, Lawson Maddox and Buzz Green. Chappell and Green were honorably mentioned the all-conference team, and Noel and Green played with Conference All-Starts against Con¬ ference Champions San Jose City College, and beat them.

Rated as an average team, the Hartnell Nine had a 5-to-7 over-all record as La Reata went to press, with 11 games left to be played.
