-Tm ARTS Col Lice . 0F ' mn 30858255 4 Where trees once flourishing grew . . . Stands the tower of wood and stone 6 Foreword . This is the Oakland Junior College Oak Log. It is the year in review . . . a pictorial chronicle and a reservoir of memories . . . a galaxy of otherwise irrevocable moments, of feelings, of sights, and of sounds. And above all, the Oak Log presents the people who lived these moments, who had the feelings, who saw the sights and who listened to the sounds. Whether lolling in the cafeteria, sitting leisurely in the sun, pondering academic questions in the classroom, exploring the mysteries of nature in the laboratories . . . urging the Thunder- birds to victory, or strutting briefly but gloriously an hour on the stage, raising voices in the choir . . . we here see ourselves in action. Chief motivating force behind the initial Oak Log is Willialil Rulon who conceived the idea and whose courage and judgment led to its realization. Progress was accelerated by the able assis- tance of Stuart Smith, Associate Editor, whose experiences as Editor of the Tower proved invaluable to the completion of the Log. Credit, too, is due the Student Government Associations and their presidents: George Spowart and Henry Dishroom at Mer- ritt, and Frank Wells and Norman Toly at Laney, for their fore- sight in assisting the crystallization of this original volume. Over-all direction and guidance emanated from central in- telligencew personified as Dr. John F. Summersette, yearbook advisor, whose experience in the publication of yearbooks and competence did more to transform the Oak Log uideai' into a tangible asset than any other single force. The staff is grateful to Mr. Robert L. Ozias of Lederer, Street and Zeus, Printers, and to Mr. Robert Moon of California Art and Engraving Company, for courtesy, patience, and inspiration. To three photographers, the staff issues especial thanks for competence in photographing the people, the activities: Viales B. Studio of San Francisco, Ross Anderson, Tower photographer, and Francisco Ortiz, Jr., whose creative Leica photographs point to extended yearbook possibilities in 35 mm photography. A special cum laude is due Mr. Edward Abood, Faculty Year- book coordinator for Laney campus, for his diligence, perse- verance and interest beyond the call of duty, and without whose assistance this product might never have been realized. The 1958 Oak Log staff hopes that this book will be one of your cherished possessions and that it will provide you with many mo- ments of pleasant recollections.
