The second year in the history of John Muir College is now over and there are many memories to recall a year filled with work, fun, and pleasure. lluir has been built as a monument to friendliness and this year was no exception. On returning to the campus early in September, we found completed four large bungalows purchased from Santa Ana Army Air Base, this was early evidence of our expansion. lxffnk ill' X fi View x - o f 1 ' ' E E! , -gli'-72:1 4-'- f Q ?-:fer Wg' .Q ' -QQ -....,.. Nor Jaqua, new varsity coach, gave promise of lead- ing the Nluir Nfustangs to many football victories. The first pep-assembly of the semester highlighted Alex Cooper, Hogan Hawthorne, Herb Jefferies, and a huge crop of blue and gold hats worn by lVIuirites. As song leaders Nlarge Davis, Pat NIussey, Dot Young. and Jo Wright led the student body in the songs, the famous Nluir spirit was on its way. Yell kings Fred Meister, Jack Robinson, and Bill Woerner led the familiar chants which also help to back up the team. i Spreading the fame of Nluir was undertaken by students over three radio shows during the year, the Muir Sports Parade, Youth and Tomorrow, and Muir's Town Nfeeting of the Air. Tally of first semester's statistics found 1578 men and 863 women thinking Nluir a good place to get an education. However, with this group arriving at lVIuir every day there appeared a parking problem. Reps-ab large surveyed the situation and the fall semester brings promise of a solution with additional parking lots. li Q -lil-1' The first dance of the new school year, the Huddle Hop celebrated the football game against LACC and was entered into with the same enthusiasm surrounding the season itself. Triad time found the campus taken over by a clean- up campaign and also a club campaign which was well under way with many new groups added to the already large roster of non-restrictive. clubs for which lVIuir has become famous. Law students, very active on campus, started pro- ceedings for the formation of a Supreme Court of five students majoring in law, business law, or business administration, the duties of this group to include inter- pretation of the laws found in our ASB constitution. ill!

Here was a beginning of the spirit of cooperation between the two schools which we hoped was destined to last many years. As Pasadena is famous the world over for its Tour- nament of Roses, all Nluirites were extremely proud when Lu Jean Galloway, Dorothy Young, and Dona Duggan were chosen as princesses of the Royal court. However, the greatest thrill of all was seeing the lovely Virginia Goodhue from our own campus as the Queen of the 1948 Tournament of Roses. '- .-rt,-v Y xg . , 458455 ' 5 7 X Q : . o .

To add to the elated feeling we defeated PCC in the drive for the World Student Service Fund trophy for the second year. The funds from this drive were sent to aid students in other lands in continuing their educations. Christmas holidays were highlighted by the Royal Ball co-sponsored by Muir and PCC to honor the Rose Court chosen from both schools. At the Coronation Ball late in December, Virginia was officially crowned as Queen and began her reign in Pasadena.
