Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1944 volume:

ir -tirtititit This is La Sierra College in a world at war, consecrated to the extinguishing of that holocaust and preparing for the peace to come. With all humanity seemingly devoid of life ' s perspective, ond nations bloodily locked in o Herculean struggle that dwarfs the military exploits of all history. La Sierra College has found its port in the drama as a Christian institution. While with heart and mind, ond a fervent spirit of patriotism we train ourselves for the task of Winning the War, a far more important thing is that we have not lost sight of the ultimate in Christian objec- tives, Christ to All the World. Few things have remoined normal at La Sierro this year — and rightly so. The overpowering exigencies of war have cost oside the nonchalant manner of former years and imbued students and faculty alike with a contagious sense of acceleration. And the traditional spirit of L. S. C, although rising to meet them, has been undiminished by the demands of war-time education. It is one of the things that has remained unchanged. Not really unchanged, but rather — manifoldly increased — by a reborn reolizotion of our responsibility to a world hopelessly lost in sin. A The good-natured, friendly spirit of Christian fellowship remains also, as does the good humor of busy college men and women, ond the fervid aspiration to higher and more enobling ways of life. These factors have been o saving influence during this hurried year — a balancing force that has kept our eyes forward, our step sure, our optimism unstinted, and faith undimmed. EI[[[G[ 1 f IT V ' UBIIIG G N NEW HORIZONS L, .ET us pause for a brief moment in the swirling rush of wartime scholastic activity— and lift our eyes above the seething smoke of world turmoil. Look— student, teacher, alumni— expand your vision! ... can you see a REBORN dawn of CHRISTIAN ENTERPRISE brilliantly flooding a not-so-far-away horizon? It is there . . . men of the world are looking for it— they fancy that they are searching for on eternal world peace . . . but it isn ' t that— they are not looking for the elements of a mundane peace at all— in truth, they are blindly seeking the God of Israel— the only peace. . . . Blindly, we say, but it is because they are WILLINGLY IGNORANT OF HIM. • This, then, our preappointed and only task, to lift the cobwebs of egotism from the eyes of man- kind—that includes ourselves does it not?— and to show humanity the way it MUST go. Who among us can— or dare— soy that we have a task of greater magnitude than this? • Let us with hearts unified in Christian belief work toward the termination of this war— for country ' s sake. It must end— it will end if we strive toward that goal. Then will NEW HORIZONS open before us . . . then will the challenge of all time be cast at our feet. A world black with pain, weary of war- ring, tired of sinning, calls for a hope— a lasting message of eternal peace. We hove that message . . . even the most callous among us will say in his heart that we do. Even now the opportunities to dessiminate it are multitudinous. HOW MANIFOLD they will be when a time of peace has come! New fields of endeavor; new visions of the old; new worlds to conquer in Christian enterprise; NEW HORIZONS! • Let us fervidly expound unto humanity until none con say— ' I have not heard ' ! To this inevitable end— this unusual dedication. A- • if a cduon mat m M . 7m ie m soM I HE last chord of the organ has faded into silence, a chapel service has begun, and still the seat beside you is empty. For a moment you wonder, then your pulse quickens and you understand. Scat- tered throughout the assembly many similar, silent tributes of thought salute the realization that one more classmate has been called to the colors of his country. Has he been forced to leave his school and his quest of knowledge behind? Of course not. Rather, in his own heart, he has taken a port of us with him. He is another light that La Sierra College has sent out as a luminary of the new dawn of freedom. Another graduate from the school of intellectual pursuits and thriv- ing ambitions into the nobler art of lift- ing men from their forced ignorance and bloodshed into the light of liberty and into the embracing love of God. What he has left behind is a bit of that fire which truth and right alone have kindled within him. We, too, must strive— with him — to make this temporal world a fit place in which to dwell and to explore those New Horizons of soul-winning. We must be, even as our servicemen are, so alive in Christ that our influence will appear be- fore men as a phosphorescent light- more vivid when all around is darkness. t t t A «. .. .■ ..,..,..i..i.. .. . . .1.. •« - «■ ' •• ' -■ - • ■ ' ■• ■ ■ ' • ' ' ' ' ° ' ' ' •■ ° ■• ' ' ■ 7he e e Remember some of these fellows from years back?

This is your METEOR, 1 944— conceived in fearful indecision, born with temerity, and rapidly nurtured by the sprinkling of ideas that inspired us here and there, and more important— your cooperation — into what we like to term at least a semblance of collegiate maturity. Perhaps not so unfortunately without records or veterans of previous publicationary efforts, and restricted somewhat by wartime conditions, we may have introduced herein a miniscule quantity of alarming innovations, but we hope that after the first shock is over you will find them pleasingly different. Our theme has inclined a bit toward the serious side of things and, with a little retrospection, you will agree that the events of 1944 hove merited weighty thinking; but with a proper mixture of moderated whimsy we hope that we have attained the balance between jocularity and solemnity that will increase your enjoyment of these memoirs of wartime L.S.C. each time that you peruse the pages of your 1944 METEOR. We present, then, this yearbook somewhat as a Phoenix; rising from the ashes of several previous and worthy attempts at re- creation, into the materialization of a permanent La Sierra College tradition; as a yearbook that pictorializes the things you have accomplished during this year, the college you have been attending; and above all a publication representative of a college founded on Christian faith. Reread the precept on the title page; there you will see a glimpse of our theme— La Sierra College— training to succor a world of ' ar, serving a God of peace. From its most humble beginning, through its 21 years of progress, to a present status as one of the leading colleges of the denomination. La Sierra has maintained among both students and faculty an inward zeal for serv- ice, augmented by a seemingly unlim- ited capacity for growth— both physi- cally and spiritually. • We present in the pages of this first section. La Sierra from a material viewpoint. As it was, as it is in 1944, and a hint of what it is to be. This is the progress of your La Sierra College— Through the Years. n iifn%e au The School With a Future had an unpretentious beginning. This was the La Sierra Academy campus at it oppeared in 1923. I HIS is La Sierra as if has grown and expanded — Through the Years. Evolving from a dissolution of old San Fernando Academy, founded by faith and determi- nation in a setting of hills, dust, and— of all things— fields of watermelon! That was LA SIERRA ACADEMY in 1922. With merely the rudiments of educational equipment, but a generous quantity of trail-blazing faith. First Principal J. I. Robison, inaugurated the initial school year on October 3 of that year. It really took the spirit of pioneers for those first 84 students to clamber up and down uncertain ladders to rooms constantly being invaded by the drifting and blowing sand, and tolerotingly to endure incon- veniences of inconceivably exasperating proportions. The La Sierra spirit that has since become traditional was there, too, even in those early days. Witness the first of the campaigns for which L.S.C. has become re- nowned as it was launched six weeks after the opening of school. Faculty and student body raised the entire amount necessary for the construction of the present Administration Building and it was erected the following summer. The second year was also notable in that, among other things, it marked the publication of the first school annual, EL SERRANO, sponsored by the senior class. After a few gasping attempts at publication, it expired into temporary oblivion for lack of the life blood of most yearbooks — financial backing. As La Sierra grew, so did its scholastic standing, its en- rollment, and its equipment. The debut as a full-fledged junior college was the big event of 1927 after two years with L. C. Palmer as principal. Second biggest event was the birth of the first honest-to-goodness college-edited news- 12 ■ fe ' paper which emerged with the uncom- prehendable title, COLLEGE CUSHI-since become our own COLLEGE CRITERION. The period of greatest expansion has un- doubtedly been embraced in the years from 1930 to 1944 with E. E. Cossentine, and in the later years, L. R. Rasmussen, as presidents. The Student Association was founded in 1931, and San Fernando Hall (the Science Building) opened for business during the same year. Another red-letter day in the history of L.S.C., May 1, 1933, brought the notification that the school had been added to the list of accredited junior colleges. Myriads of clubs mushroomed upon the campus during this period as school spirit inclined more enthusiastically toward extra-curricular activities; and later, starting with 1934, a brisk building pro- gram was inaugurated. In rapid suc- cession came the swimming pool. College Hall, Hole Memorial Auditorium, the college store and branch post office, the Loma Linda factory. Calkins Hall for col- lege men, and — who can forget West Cottage, temporary quarters for the girls until Angwin Hall was completed?— and in 1941, La Sierra ' s pride and cuisinary joy, the famed cafeteria. Recent history convincingly demonstrates that even under adverse circumstances One big happy family. L.S.A. ' s student body and faculty in 1926. the spirit of growth remains indomitable. Even with the herculean task of main- taining the co-educational standing of the college. President L. R. Rasmussen and the administration have contrived to add the improvements of a remodeled Ad Building, teacher offices, and con- crete plans for an elaborate new Admin- istration Building and Library, when con- ditions permit, thus keeping pace with La Sierra ' s growing scholastic retinue. Most momentous of all in the growth of La Sierra was the 1944 announcement, with somewhat of a don ' t look now, but . . . atmosphere about it, of greater things in store for upper division stu- dents v ith the coming of the 1944-45 school years. These long-awaited years promise to bring with them even greater augmen- tation of not only physical assets and curriculums, but also a deeper-than-ever consecration to things spiritual and a more powerful spirit of collegiate unity, a spirit monumental to the perserverance and vision of leaders, constituents, and students of La Sierra College.

These are the men who founded and fostered and furthered La Sierra College in former years. J. I. Robison— first of the principals. That was during the time of the denominational pioneers— when the presence of Omnipotence was felt as strongly guiding as it is today— because faith was etched into their minds and hearts; faith was the spur of their inspiration. L. C. Palmer, inaugurator of campus planning and of organized development — W. W. Ruble, the man who first saw the institu- tion into its status as a junior college. H. M. Johnson, stresser of skills and crafts, initiator of industries. E. E. Cossentine who guided the col- lege through the lean, critical years and caused it to emerge bigger and stronger. These were the pioneers of former years. To them we owe much of what La Sierra is today. They saw a vision. We have seen it materialize. PIONEERS ■■ ' ■•; -y vts ' ' 9.

One of the denomination ' s most beautiful and modern educational ramparts, well planned from the beginning and ever expanding from sheer necessity, we present on this and a few succeeding pages, La Sierra College as we knew it in 1944. The buildings in which we aimed daily toward scholastic attainment, the shops and gym in which we gave our muscles a workout as well as our mentalities, the too often unobserved cam- puscenery, and as a unified whole— La Sierra College— where we were inevitably drawn a bit closer to that intangible goal of every collegiate program— Christian culture. This is The College With a Future as it is today. Victim of changing tides of architectural fancy, the Administration B-jilding this year received an all-over face lifting, complete with anterior landscape and walks.

DWELLING PLACES A I MONG those campus features that have played the most important parts in the doily existence of L.S.C.-ites, we find the school homes. These were scenes of inspirational worships, club functions, and the acquiring of a spirit of good-fellowship in general. And who can forget the midnight oil that we intermittently burned here prepara- tory to the recurring bane of examinations? Cheerful cooperation among the residents helped to moke the dorms a home owoy from home. Welcome home! This is the campus as we saw it when we reluctantly returned from week-end leaves. llilHii.

Letting the fire go out was considered a real tragedy. The sacred flame was handed down from one generation to another. Has the sacred flame died out of the Christian college? Does the Christian college have an authentic leadership, an authoritative message, and an undying flame adequate in a time like this? This hour of crisis and bloody darkness brings to the truly Christian college its greatest challenge and its greatest opportunity. The college must be able to justify its existence, and to demonstrate its ability to lead a confused people to the Light of the World if it is to merit the trust and confidence that has been placed in it. To the Christian college is commissioned the sacred task of tending the fires of faith, of worship, and of love; the task of holding aloft the flame which points to the Christian way of life— the only way to victory and peace. It is the young person ' s right by heritage to turn to the Christian college and find a glowing flame that will warm his heart and enlighten his mind. It is our desire and conviction that La Sierra College shall be a school where the youth can return and find the fires of learning, of faith, of love, of liberty, and of trust in the Divine Light, ever burning brightly. La Sierra College invites you to come and replenish the flame. President ADMINISTRATION 26 L. R. RASMUSSEN President K. J. REYNOLDS K. F.

The History Department is dedicated, in content and organization, to the premise that the past is a textbook on the sciences and arts of human relations. He who knows naught of the days before he was born, remains always a child, was the dictum of Cicero. Historical judg- ment to evaluate the works and the failures of men, and the discernment to trace the stately steppings of the divine Master Planner in the labyrinth of days and deeds, these mark the progress of a mind toward maturity and are the rewards of diligent historical labors. W. E. Anderson Glee H. King LANGUAGES. The aim of the Department of Languages is to stimulate the student to a vital interest in correct speaking, correct writing, and correct thinking, along with a valuable appre- ciation for the best in literature. Because voice and attitudes should reflect a live, convincing personality, the study of speech is significant and occupies an important place in the curriculum. The student ' s appreciation of his native tongue and understanding of world problems are also increased by his knowledge of other languages. BUSINESS I HE fields of Business and Commerce have as a guiding purpose the supplying of every stu- dent with the undeniable necessity of foundation in the principles of business procedure; and the training of those specializing in this field for a successful career of commercial endeavor— not only in a world of trade, but also in the world- wide managing of Christian enterprise. 30 RELIGION 1= iE Theological courses of La Sierra College are based upon the fundamentals of the Adventist faith with the great central theme— Jesus Christ. The department has two princi- pal fields; one of which deals with Biblical exegesis. Here, theology is the explanation, understanding, analysis, classification, and arrangement of fundamental truths. The second field deals with the practice and presentation of religion. This is done in reality in the pulpits of surrounding churches and in fully organized evangelistic efforts conducted by students. Instilling into the mind, the heart, and the life of the student a sound theology and a realistic, practical fulfillment of all that the ministry implies. This is the guiding and controlling purpose of the Department of Religion of La Sierra College. Miss Ambs and Lydia contemplate Pan-American relations. It isn ' t Hebrew this time, it ' s shorthand— Miss King officiating. Prof. Airey talks Turkey with the history class. Mrs. Romant lending on attentive ear while Dick records vocali ents for posterity. Elder Heubach criticizes the latest in handbills. SCIENCE C sjETTING for their goal a proper interpretation of the things of nature, the several fields of biology, physics, and chemistry rely on the processes of mathematics as fundamental, inte- grating factors. Man-made separation of the sciences to facilitate study should never obscure the manifold overloppings, the imperceptible gradations that betoken natural science as one impressive whole. Pre-professional curricula in medicine, dentistry, nursing, technology, together with upper division courses for those who plan to major in a specific field, constitute adequate, well-rounded offer- ings. Steadily expanding instructional and laboratory facilities of a growing La Sierra College are a token of increasing service to the students of today and tomorrow. • -. t - 9 f m . if m i--- ' WmtS L}M ■fl Doris Carlsen Delpha Shaeffer-Miller HOME EC, ARTS HOME ECONOMICS. The sixty-seven college stu- dents and forty-five academy students enrolled in Home Economics courses realize that every young woman, regardless of her profession, is better equipped for life by having taken this work. Among this year ' s accomplishments of the department was the forming of the new Home Economics Club. ARTS. The Art Department endeavors not only to teach the specific art of manipulating the tools of the trade, but also to instill into the hearts of those taking its courses an appreciation for the finer, aesthetical things of life. 32 PHYSICAL EDUCATION V VlTHIN the year of 1943-44, physical education took on a really curricular aspect at La Sierra. Enlargement of indoor facilities, a large, new athletic field, and com- pletion of the A.S.B. tennis court marked some of the improvements. The physical building program provided to students a welcome contrast to the accelerated activity of wartime scholastics. ' ' Or You will appreciate now . . .

Real action on the track— Professor Chilton starts them off. Mrs. Kizziar explains the fundamentals of keeping one ' s grip. J Mrs. S. I. Frost UST as physical education is a respite for the body— so music is a release for the soul ; and, unimpaired by scholastic exigencies, the La Sierra College Conservatory of Music in 1944 saw an unprecedented expansion in enrollment. Music seemed to be one of those balancers that all of us required during the terrific celerity of our school year. We found in the directors of the departments the dynamic en- couragement and incentive that started us on new adventures in music appreciation. Prod- ucts of the Conservatory were the College Orchestra and the A Coppella Choir— both of which toured extensively during the year. The enrollment of the Piano and Organ Depart- ment so increased that additions were made to the staff during the school term to properly instruct the enrollees. Also planned during 1944 was the purchase of a new Hammond organ to supplement the original equipment. 34 LIBRARY T„, I HE year 1944 marked the installation of a full-fledged Manual Arts Department at L.S.C. Directed by a purpose of teaching the coordina- tion of mind and hand, the department has seen a steady increase in enrollment, especially among the professional students. Cabinetmaking, car- pentry, machine and wood shops, blueprint read- ing, and mechanical drawing all add up to an extraordinarily complete curriculum in the art of making things. 1= HE library of today is pre-eminently a service institution, whose objectives ore determined by the people whom it serves. Both qualitatively and quantitatively, the college library supplements the classroom program and offers enrichment as well as added information. Here are the master- minds of all time at their best; here, in periodical literature, ore the latest offerings in various flelds of endeavor; here is a collective source of ideas, attitudes, and inspiration. MANUAL ARTS A. L. Toev ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Mary Witchey-Groome Willamae Hawkins Hazel Oleson-ShafFer Mildred E. Ostich To OO much emphasis cannot be placed upon the importance of a thorough preparation for the training of the young. Here, at La Sierra, the department of teacher-training aims to stress the Heights of Training for Service. Success in teaching is measured by what the pupil has received. Three important things contribute to proficiency in the art of teaching. First, a teacher must know children, for they hove their own way of thinking, of feeling, and of seeing. Second, a teacher must know what she teaches — the preparation must in- jBJude physical, mental, and spiritual attain- fnents. Third, she must know how to organize, manage, and direct a school. This demands professional training as well as scholarship.

ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY Th, HE one club in which all of us held membership, the Associated Student Body, might truly have been termed the practical essence of a spirit of group cooperation and loyalty. The War Bond drive was one of the outstanding events of a patriotic nature during 1943-44, and student participation in Red Cross drives and blood-donor campaigns also marked the year ' s nationalistic activity. Other significant accomplishments of 1944 ' s enterprising organi- zation were the successful Criterion, Meteor, and Harvest Ingathering campaigns, com- pletion of the new tennis courts, revision of the A.S.B. Constitution, and more important, the creation and fostering of a tangible spiritual unity within the Association itself. Associated Student Body— assembled in a chapel session ■MWY S ' o, - • , ..

Easter service at March Field, a concert at the Mission Inn in Riverside, and the weekly Sabbath services at the college were all part of the extra-curriculum.

PIANO ORGAN • • R EW students at La Sierra College during 1944 completed the year without enrolling in the courses of at least one of the music departments. The Piano and Organ Depart- ment claimed most of these enrollees; and training the digits in the manipulation of the keyboard proved so fascinating that the enrollment of the department was doubled. To provide for the influx of students of the organ, the purchase of a new Hammond is planned to complement the service of the overworked Wurlitzer and Estey. SPEECH CHOIR Members of the unique Speech Choir, with the4r director— Mrs. Mabel Curtis-Romant. 66 I I EVANGELISM • • • NTO three nearby towns went the students of the Department of Evangelism this year, successfully carrying out student-conducted evangelistic efforts. The minor cases of stagefright and platform awkwardness disappeared after a few weeks of master- ing the intricacies of public evangelizing, and the men emerged at the end of the year with not only many souls won to Christ, but with a rich store of invaluable, practical experience. The only effort not pictured here is that conducted at Colton by Weldon Mattison, Sam Rutan, Ralph Larsen, and James Scully. Equrpped with its own tabernacle the West Riverside efFort saw good success and continued into the summer. The Ministerial Quartet does a bit of hormonizing. ThU i quartet was a regular feature of student evangelism. 68 o PHYSICAL NE of the newer supplements to College curriculums during 1944 was the physical education program. Physical activity was really a boon to lab-weary collegians; and with much new equipment, the hours spent in active relaxation seemed to recharge the battery of mental alertness. For workouts in track, football, and other outdoor sports, the newly completed athletic field behind College Hall provided more than ample space for navigation; and completed this year were the SHOT-PUT Carl Klopping exhibits top form in shot-putting.

FOURTH ESTATE I, HE odor of printer ' s ink, melting type-metal, fresh stacks of paper, and clouds of offset spray will recurringly strike a nostalgic cord on the vocational heart strings of those L.S.C.-ites whose eight hours a week — more than likely twenty hours— were spent at the Collegiate Press. New equipment helped to remove most of any drudgery associated with the occupation besides adding materially to the net worth of this department, headed by W. G. Lawson. The Press, in addition to producing a large volume of school and commercial work and assisting the student evangelists with the production of thousands of handbills and posters, also saw the weekly genesis of the College Criterion. Ed Miles checks the latest Cri- terion as it rolls through the intricacies of the latest press acqui- sition — a new automatic folder. 73 v.s.c « - ' .-time FARM AND DAIRY DaCK to the ie Soil, applied to at least a few of the students this school year.

The build- ing also houses the La Sierra Post OfFice. Interior view of the store shows Catherine Nilson, Daniel Guild, and Mr. F. E. Romant, manager, busily engaged in serving a few of the customers, with Catherine relieving them of precious ration points and incidental cash— giving them high quality in return. The store ' s size and volume of trade have more than doubled during the last three years. V Busiest part of the store when reg- istration time rolls around is the School Supply Department, in- stalled for the benefit of La Sierra Collegians. Doris Donaldson uses a bit of friendly selling technique as she demonstrates to the Rue sisters a prewar leather notebook and a few of the other high-quality items. 80 IhINGS that make a yearbook just a bit more treas- ured are those details that in themselves are minor, but collectively are among the most important features of the book.

Miss Corlsen still wonders how her gallon of ink evaporated so fast. . . . What with adjustments being made among room- mates, teachers, and everyone in general (the Get-Acquainted social on OCTOBER 2 helped), one might have expected to settle down to a normal life of study— but no! First comes Harvest Ingathering Field Day (OCTOBER 5). Whatever happened to that live duck that someone brought back? . . . Maybe Frank Buck (Bring ' Em Back Alive) captured it when he was here for the OCTOBER 16 lyceum. How many hours of study did you lose in raising your share of the 4,040 subscriptions that the Criterion Campaign (OCTOBER 12-25) brought in? So what if the Navy did win the cup! That didn ' t stop the Marines from having the time of their lives motor-boating on Lake Arrowhead at the Criterion picnic on OCTOBER 28. . . . The Fall Week of Prayer (NOVEMBER 1-6) served as a spiritual balancer in our program of Chris- tian education. We cannot soon forget the sin- cerity of Elder Johns or the enthusiasm of Elder Ritchie. . . . And just who gave whom a banquet on NOVEMBER 23? M.B.K. or the Girls ' Forum? What ' s the difference! A Dutch treat ' s always fun, anyway! Besides, we don ' t believe in ' ristocrats, do we. Elder Peterson? . . . Simply shocking the way Strickfaden carried on with his Electricks DECEMBER 4!l Along about this time (DECEMBER 10) there was a lot of fuss about whether or not there could be a school annual this year. Well—? . . . Someone described Music Week (DECEMBER 1 5-22) as some sort of a combustion resulting from several months of accumulated aesthetic energy. Or shall we call it Harmonic Combustion ? . . . Remember— double absences for cuts from class on either DECEMBER 22 OR JANUARY 2. We didn ' t want to do our Christmas shopping at home, anyway! . . . Of course everyone got high grades on semester finals (JANUARY 18-21) be- Your life history, please. This was registration day. Boating on Lake Arrowhead at the Criterion picnic.

And then there was the Father-Son Banquet (FEBRUARY 20). Little papas, big papas, old papas, and young papas were there— even Papa Taylor (olios Bill) with his adopted son, Gordon Oderkirk. . . . Pardon me if I seem to be stepping on your feet. I wont to get a seat for My Friend, Flicka, too (FEBRUARY 27). ... The little man who WASN ' T there on MARCH 4 was Dr. C. J. Hambro, when his plane was unduly delayed. Where ' s Professor Abel? Maybe we can hove a little community sing while we wait. We ' re still waiting! . . . The College Seniors re- turned from the beach in the pink of condition on MARCH 14. That ' s putting it mildly. . . . ' Twos the night before MARCH 16, and oil through the dorms went dustmops and brooms— well, we must clean our rooms once a year, anyway! Remember Senior Day? ... ' Spars ' and ' Fellow- Seabees, ' it gives me great pleasure to say that —the Spars did NOT win the Meteor Campaign (MARCH 27), but neither did the Seabees ! Now Professor Airey can really be neutral. The Spring Week of Prayer with the Elders Ash- baugh and Delafield in charge (APRIL 3-9) was an uplifting breathing spell during which we could contemplate the past, present, and future, and renew the essence of our spiritual living. . . . California was presented as the theme of the climactic Meteor Campaign Victory Banquet (APRIL 16) with Dr. Shryock of Loma Linda fea- tured OS guest speaker. . . , And on APRIL 22 we heard and sow a bit of old and new Eire in the film, Here Is Ireland. . . . Activities toward the year ' s end increased in an accelerated pro- fusion which included the Spring Music Week, nomadic wanderings of Orchestra and Choir in concert all over Southern California, and as the Meteor goes to press we find ourselves ap- proaching with trepidation those inevitable final exams. This was our year at La Sierra College — 1943- ' 44. A year outstanding in its import upon collegiate living, and simul taneously, a year filled with extraordinary good fun. L. H. P.

Y I OU HAVE weathered the storm of a most uncertain year in our notional history. A few of the boys from our school hove been called to serve the nation in a very material way, and ore now marching under the colors to fight for you and me and to make freedom and justice secure for all of us. Our duty here at home has differed from theirs in that we have not had to come into direct contact with the awfulness of war and the shedding of blood. However, ours is none- theless important. It is for us to prepare our lives for the events that lie ahead. Patriotism calls us to remain in school and do our level best. It calls us to a real day-by-doy achievement in the development of character. Strength of character in the life today means a stronger nation to- morrow. Yours is the rare privilege of not only preparing for the future of America but also preparing for and fmolly in- habiting a land where there will be no more curse of war. Sincerely, your principal.

Not only is this scholastic giant stride a culmination of twenty-one years of phenomenal growth and expansion; it is also a prophetic indication of the surging, restless vitality of trained youth who, when the oppor- tunities of peace are manifest, will go forth from the halls of a yt GREATEST MILESTONE OF L.S.C. ACHIE SENIOR La Sierra College —a consecrated La Sierra College, to augment the work of God even now being carried forth with amazing vigor. For this was the principle— the purpose upon which La Sierra College was founded at the beginning. Increased curriculums of upper division collegiate scholastics will serve to greatly multiply the worth of L.S.C. as an institution of Chris- tian training. This step was not taken by the powers of com- mittee voting alone— to you, constituents, faculty, board, and students— will go much of the honor. YOU are La Sierra College. EMENT yt A SENIOR COLLEGE IN 1944 HONORARIUM • ORCHIDS TO WHOM ORCHIDS ... r s_ AUGHT in a tightening circle of imminent deadlines, appalled by limited copy schedules, and cramped in style by wartime shortages, the staff of your 1944 METEOR was lifted from the depths of impending despair on innumerable occasions by the unbelievably kind assistance of many persons who, although somewhat outside the ring of editorial entity, undoubtedly maintained just as great an interest as the staff in the successful production of this book. These modern Galahads helped immensely in solving problems that were, to us, of astounding magnitude. First in line for our expressions of gratitude are the men and women of Adcraft. Meeting the almighty deadline would have been a sadly unrealized dream without the out-of-line-of-duty assistance which they pro- vided in such generous quantities. And take for instance Richard M. Esgate. He was the man whom you sow from time to time wandering about the campus, camera and editor in hand, exploding flashbulbs right and left. His unerring precision aided the local photographers greatly. And speaking of local photographers, we found in Professor L. H. Cushman a certain untiring zeal for getting things done that somehow or other spread contagiously until the whole stafF hod satisfactorily reacted to it. His first-class picture-taking efforts really saved the day— many days, in fact. All this is to say nothing of the long and eye-blearing nights spent by poor Mervyn Codwallader, Wallace Chin, and other shutter bugs who, assisted by the kind loon of Marshall Horsman ' s equipment, supplied the largest percentage of your 1944 METEOR pictures. And our profuse thanks also to Horry Green of the Rubidoux Press in Riverside for his uncomplaining patience with our art problems. The distinctive lettering throughout and the art pages also ore products of his ingenious talent. Then, too. Professor Harold Chilton merits considerable laudation for his timely assist- ance with some of the mechanics of layout and also for the time spent with photography. To the Deans Crandoll and Walter we would proffer our thanks for their liberal assistance in compiling information on and collecting pictures of our servicemen. And to Dorothy White and Bo Ying Wat go veritable blank checks of gratitude for their superb literary assistance with some of the front-of- the-book editorials and other write-ups. Not only did their belletristic talent provide a refreshing change in style but, more important, their individuality also prompted the genesis of many of the innovations that you find in the annual. Space does not permit the enumeration of the countless others who supplied untold quantities of support— both moral and material. Your satisfaction in a task well done will be remuneration for their splendid efforts. Last and positively NOT least, thanks to you-STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF L.S.C., whose individual and collective cooperation with the staff was a nourishing manna in a wilderness of editorial vicissitudes.
