Spring. beginning ol the neu semester a special election is held for these positions. ln order to coordinate government on both campuses, the executive -councils of both Laney and Merritt hold joint council meetings. At these meetings all activities of both campuses are governed and problems involving both campuses are discussed. From the funds incurred by student body card sales and book- store profits the ASOCC sponsors such events as the semi-annual awards dinners.

Council members on both campuses work divided and united in the best interest of the Associated Students of Oakland City College. Merritt and Laney oper- ate under two separate constitutions, each calling for ollicers, representatives and an ad- viser from each campus. On Laneyis campus the otlicers making up the executive council include the president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and parlia- mentarian. Council is made up of one repre- sentative from each class. At Merritt the executive council is made up of a president, vice-president, secretary, treas- urer and a public relations ofiicer.

The story of The Tower, Oakland City College's newspaper, cannot be confined to the endless columns ofthe past, nor the future. It is reflected by every reported activity, the property of the associated students, the pride, and occasionally the grief of the reporters who witness an event, the editors who write the headlines and put the paper together, and the graphic art students who print it. The Tower was bor11 in February, 1955, and has grown up with the college. Be- cause of the two campus situation, news coverage is handled by staff members of both lVlerritt and Laney. Outside news releases are written by student members of the Public Relations Bureau, and sent to local newspapers. Spring Semester Public Relations Committee.

It proceeded down 10th Street to Broadway where curious interested Oaklanders started at the 28-odd cars, ranging from a 1959 Pontiac convertible to Corvettes and Thunderbirds which were rolling along in merry, pretty-girl, hand-waving procession. At Broadway the cars swept toward Telegraph Avenue and out Racine Blvd. to Bushrod Park where half- time festivities were beginning and the Oakland Thunderbird eleven were nursing their wounds. behind 16 to goose-egg. lThunderbird-egg?! at the hands of the Modesto Pirates.

Misty-eyed Oakland students had to settle for the 16-0 defeat, but four Modesto touchdowns were called back to even up the old ball game at least a little closer.

Already the girls were beginning to show the wear and tear of a hectic week. They had been guests on a television show over KTVU, Channel. 2, where each girl had been interviewed by Bob March of KTVU and Fraser Felter, public relations officer at Merritt. Of course there had been the preparation for this night, the campaigning, and also the books which couldn't be avoided. This was it, the last night, the evening that counted the most, and it had to always be the one where the tiredness had caught up and fatigue was beginning to show through beauty. At the Scottish Rite Temple in Oakland over 300 people, caught in the glamour and excitement of Homecoming danced to the music of Jack Sava and his band and waited anxiously. The judges to make the final selections were his honor Mayor Clifford Rishell of Oakland, Judge Marvin Sherwin and How- ard Hein, president of the Oakland City College Alumni As- sociation. The throng waited in hushed anticipation while Mayor Rishell attempted and succeeded in bringing humor into the strained festivities and relaxing the crowd. The sec- ond runner-up was announced. The crowd applauded and Merritt students cheered as Elaine Athens was announced for third place lsecond runner-upil . Now the crowd stood paused, eagerly waiting to congratulate the second place finisher. It was Joyce Burnight and Laney students cheered as she re- ceived her trophy and a kiss from Judge Sherwin.

Debbie. a lovely, brown-haired, brown-eyed miss, who trips the scales at a well distributed 130 pounds, stands 5 foot T and measures statuesquely, 36-23-35, received the applause of the whole group, a kiss from Mayor Rishell, still another kiss, and then whispered, softly, huskily into the mike, a warm, sincere, HThank you very much to everyone. This is one of my happiest nights. Congratulations poured out again-well- spent appreciation. Debbie Hoag, you are Queen of Home- coming, 1958. A tired but satisfied Homecoming Committee watched last yearis Queen, Jan Bowlin, present the perpetual trophy to Debbie and discussed the affair, glad in a way that it was over, yet sad in the same way that it had to end. Ron Barrett, home- coming Chairman talked over the final selections with Wayne Wengert, parade chairman who was busily congratulating Kathy Davis, dance chairman for her fine job.

H zlglrl zlglat Pzlgrlein Seaton by Frefl Mcllonalfl Oakland's Thunderbirds finished the 1958 football season with a record of two wins and seven losses, deafeating Diablo Valley College in their practice opener. 40-16 and heavily favored Stockton, 28-24. The Thunderbirds. coached by head mentor Gil Callies and Assistant Coach Vernon '6Dutch,, Triebwasse, opened the season with a resounding 40-16 victory over Diablo Valley College at Antioch. Paced by the running and passing of tailback Stan Peters and the defensive play of linebacker Larry Richardson, the T-Birds came back in the second half after being held to a 16-16 score, to break the game wide open. Richardson intercepted two passes to set up touchdowns and Peters passed to end Artuis Palmore for two scores. Full- back Bob Gilmore tallied the third Oakland touchdown before suffering an injury which sidelined him for the remainder ofthe season. Halfback Joe Crismon and center Charles Peo- ples were lauded for their play during the game. Traveling to Boise, the Oakland multiple offense was un- able to get started as the nationis second rated junior college team, Boise JC, piled up a 27-0 halftime score and coasted home for a 40-0 win. Lone Oakland thrill was a 60-yard touch- down pass from Peters to Palmore. but the ollicials ruled that Palmore had stepped out of bounds earlier. Oakland opened Big Eight Conference play against Santa Rosa at Oakland's home field, Bushrod Park. Santa Rosa was first on the scoreboard, but a 25-yard touch- down gallop by fullback Dave Littleton put the T-Birds back in the game. In the second quarter, tailback Peters became a victim of a refereejs quick whistle. Peters cracked into the line, spun away from three tacklers and sped 74 yards for an apparent score. Referees ruled the play dead at the line of scrimmage and the Bear Cubs went on to win the game 36-12. Coach Gil Callies' forces came back the following week to score the biggest upset of the 1958 season. Facing a Stockton team favored by 24 points. the T-Birds spotted the hosting Mustangs to eight points and then rolled back on the wings of three Peters to Joe Crismon passes good for 70 yards. The game-tying score coming on a 12-yard strike from Peters to Crismon who was all alone in the end zone. SWIVEL HIPS - Quarterback Larry Albright squirms out of the grip of a prospective Santa Rosa tackler. Also pictured is guard Willie Love, who comes up too late to help the T-Bird ball carrier. ln the- second quarter, end Bill Herrcrar broke through the Stockton line to recover a loose hall on the Mustang six-yard line. Fullback Dave Littleton powered over from the two to give Oak- land the go ahead score. Long runs by halfback Rich McKinney and joe Crismon and the passing of Larry Albright were too much for the Stock- toners as the T-Birds built up a 23-3 lead. which was cut to 28-24 when two quick scores caught the Oakland third-stringers napping in the fourth quarter. Against Sacramento, the combination of Peters to Palmore almost pulled another game out of the fire for Oakland. Peters hit Palmore for two touch- downs, one for 66 yards and the big 6-foot 2-inch end scored the third Oakland score when he inter- cepted a pass and ran 50 yards for a touchdown. Palmoreis scoring efforts were not sufficient for a victory as Sacramento held on to win 24-22. Guard John Hutcherson. who gained third string All-American honors for 1953. was lauded for his defensive play at the linebacker slot. Oakland dropped two more games. 16-0 to Modesto in their Homecoming Game, and 33-12 to City College of San Fran- cisco. The Thunderbirds could not get going against the Pirates as Modesto scored two touchdowns in the first half giving them a 16-0 bulge at halftime. ln the second hall, Larry Albright threw a 40-yard pass to lonely end Charles Shaw in the end zone. Shaw dropped the ball and the game ended 16-0. San Francisco boxed the T-Bird attack up as quarterback Ron Casper's passing was not good enough to keep Oakland in the game. Caspar completed 10 of 18 passes for 121 yards but it was not good enough to overcome the balanced CCSP offense. Things went from had to worse as San Nlateo held Oakland to 102 yards total offense and walloped the 'lihunderbirds 36-0. Oakland fullback Willie? Love collected 4-7 of the Blue and Coldis 52 yards on the ground and Caspar hit on six of 11 passes for 50 yards. The Thunderbirds ended the season with a 20-12 loss to Contra Costa College. The loss was particularly hard to take as the arch-rival Comets had not won a game to date. Q It ROOM Conch Gil Cullies and Dalek Treibwusser. joe Crisman put Oakland on the scoreboard first as he went 16 yards for a touchdown in the opening quarter. The Comets roared back to go ahead 8-6 in the second quarter but Caspar to Albright and end Rolf Dahl passes put the T- Birds on the Commet eight-yard line. Stan Peters slammed the final eight yards for the six-pointer which closed out the Thunderbird scoring for the day and season. Contra Costa rallied in the second half to win 20-12. Halfback Crismon was selected as the most valuable player of the season and guard john Hutcherson received the most improved player award.

Wickvviire and Hawkins were both on the All-Tourney team. After four straight victories. including a win over the previous- ly unbeaten Stanford JV,s, the Thunderbirds crushed Stockton JC, walloped Modesto. 75-54. and then saw a 19-game Big Eight win streak snapped as they bowed to league champion San Fran- cisco 59-43. The Thunderbirds played the contest without the services of Wickxvire, who missed the game because of illness. Bob Johnson led Oakland with 13 points. Coach Rockwell's men kept their Big Eight championship hopes alive with a 79-62 win over San lVlateo and a decisive 87-4-5 victory over Santa Rosa. But once again the hot and cold T-Birds stumbled as they succumbed to Contra Costa 71-59. Oakland could hit only 28 per cent of their shots while Contra Costa hit the nets with a sizzling 50 per cent. Hawkins and the highly-effective Jim Hatchett led the Blue and Colds with 22 and I0 points respectively. Hatchett held All-League center Tyler Wilburri on even terms. scoring two more points than the Comet ace and controlling the defensive boards. Twin no contest wins over Stockton and Modesto showed that the powerhouse Thunderbirds had the 'ghorsesi' to beat any team in the Big Eight when right. Hawkins hit 26 points against Stockton and proved why he was the Northern California Player of the Year in 1057-58 with his defensive play and rebounding. But once more Oakland lapsed and fell behind by 17 points against Contra Costa's Comets in the first half. Ott the bench came Hon Nelson. who sat out the first period. and Nelson put on a one-man show which almost pulled the game out of the fire for Oakland in the second half. Nelson scored 16 points off the guarding of Tyler Wilbon. outrebounded. outfought. and outplay ed the Contra Costa star. leading the Thunderbirds to within one point of the 01-60 Rich- mond victors.

Last year the OCC horsehidcrs made a strong showing in the home stretch to gain a tie for Oaklandis first-exer baseball title. The hard-hitting. sharp-fielding T-Birds com' piled an outstanding ll-3 practice record this year to serve notice they had strong in- tentions ol retaining their conlerence crown. Oakland then nent on to chalk up wins in its first four conference starts of the '59 season. A hosting Stockton nine handed OCC? title-ambitions a minor sethack on April ll when the port city nine took hoth ends of a double header hy wide margins. The 'li-Hirds got hack on the is inning trail the next week. however. hy trouncing CCSF. At this writing midway in the conference season, several teams have high hopes and good chances ol winning the V150 championship. Oakland is only a half game out of first at this time.

Shot putter Ken Wills and high jumper Jim Hatchett looked like good bets to set a new college mark in their event before the season ended. Webster was also toying with the college 440 mark. The college record in the quarter-mile is :1L9.6, while Webster has done :ll-9.9 this season. Oakland opened its 1959 track season with a thumping victory over San Jose City College and the University of Santa Clara in a tri-meet. Oakland scored 9115 points as compared to 448 for SJCC and 92 for Santa Clara. That week end the T-Birds took a well-deserved second in the annual Big Eight relays. Modesto was first with 6116, points. Oakland tallied 4915 markers and CCSF was third with 451211. writing. Tracksters: Ken Pleasants, Arties Palmore, Overton Williams, Charles Lewis, Bill Webster. by Rich Gohlkc It was another Mbest-everi' season for Coach Ken Hallstoneis Thunderbird tracksters this year. With probably the best depth Oakland has ever had in its five years of compe- tition in track and field the T-Birds had compiled a 50-0 conference dual meet and clinched at least a tie for OCC7s first ever Big Eight track title when dead- line arrived for this page of the book. Only a tri-meet with San Mateo and Modesto remained on the locals' schedule at this writing. A win over both teams would give Oakland outright possession of the conference championship. With several standouts. including returnees Len Notes, Sam Perry. Bill Webster and Bob Grissom, Oaklands outlook for a high hnish in the Big Eight meet looked bright. Several of the Oakland cinder burners also looked like strong contenders for individual honors in the Northern California and even the state meet, By mid-season the 1959 team had set four new college records. Sam Perry bettered his own mark in the high hurdles as he recorded a fast :14.7. The old record was C141.9. Newcomer Willy LeFall set a new college record in the broad jump with an outstanding leap of 22' 11'Q and Bennie Smith vaulted 12' 6 for a new pole vault mark. ln conference competition Oakland had better Santa Rosa 81-38, Stockton 82-31, CCSF 65-57, Contra Cost 94-25 and Sacramento 89M-32k, at this 'Ml-W 1 sf ,.,.. .

Elll1iI'lfi0lIPh'. Tennif The 1959 Thunderbird tennis team was the finest aggregation of talent ever to wear the blue and gold. Coached by' Bill Rockwell. the T-Birds waltzed away' with the Big Eight Crown, going undefeated in the proc- ess. ln dual meet competition the Thunderbirds lost only' one match in the 17 played. ln the lone loss to Diablo Valley Junior College the T-Bird's second six men lost to the Diablo's Hrst six while the first six men on the T-Bird team were participating in the Northern California lntercollegiate matches. Oaklandls first six men took second in both singles and doubles competi- tion. At the Ojai Tournament later in the year. with nearly' all JCis in the state competing. Oaklandis ,lim Mc- Manus and Ken Stanley brought home the championship cup. McManus won the singles while Stanley reached the semi-finals in the singles. The two combined to take second in the doubles. Other Thunderbird netters were Warren Mines. Russ Wickwire. Joe Jones, Ed Bienek. Don Coughlin. Ken Nicolet. ,lim Eastin and Ephriam Partch. Croix-country Cross-country' made an enviable record on the campus this yfear. Gay With only one league match left to play at this writing the Thunderduffers of Oakland City College look like a ushoo-inv for the Big Eight title. Led by Hot lronsi' Henry Fogg, the T- Bird linksmen have been defeated only' once in 16 matches and are undefeated in league play. Fogg set new school records for play' both at home and away with a blazing six under par 65 at the Thunderbirds' home course. Tilden Park. April IT. Against the Modesto Pirates at 'Del Rio Country' Club, April 24. Fogg posted the new away record with a 67. This was also the best JC score ever shot on the Del Rio course. ln this yearls Northern California intercollegiate Tournament the Oak- landers placed ninth out of all com- peting teams and second among com- peting lC,s. The T-Birds topped such four-year schools as USF. Oregon State. University of Nevada. Chico State. Los Angeles State and Sacra- mento State. Swimmers Win Big Eight Title by Rich Guhllre To say that City Colleges first-ever swim team made a big splash would not only be a little corny, it would also he an understatement. Under the expert and ever-watchful eye of coach Paul Chapelle. the OCC aqua aggregation romped through conference dual-meet competition undefeated, won the Big Eight meet with a staggering 143 points as compared to 87 points for second-place Stockton, and at this writing. was considered one of the top contenders for the Northern California crown and a team to be reckoned with in the State meet. Probably the biggest single reason for Oaklands phenomenal success in its aqua debut was an unassuming freshman by the name of Cary Heinrich. Heinrich. referred to in The Tower as Oaklands answer to the atomic sub. has bettered six national junior college records as this book goes to press. With the Nor-Cal and state meet still left on the schedule. it is quite possible. indeed probable. that Heinrich will shatter more national marks. ln the 20-yard pool. the 18-year-old phenom set national records of 2107.2 in the 220-yard free style fold record was 2:07.91 . 4-:37.0 in the 440-yard free style told record was 4'Z3T.9l. and a 2:ll.3 in the 200- yard butterfly lold record was 2:15.7l. In the short course 125 yard? pool Heinrich established new national standards of 2108.4 in the 220 free told mark was 2:ll.8l, 4:37.8 in the 4-40 free fold mark was 4:4-9.53, and a 2108.5 in the 200 butterfly fold mark was 2:20.0l. It goes without saying Heinrich is a top United States prospect for the 1960 Olympics in Rome. The number of points Oakland scored in the llig Eight shows they were fare from a one-man team, however. Former high school All- Arnerican .lim Marchetti also had an outstanding season with the T-Birds. Marchetti took two or three firsts without fail for the locals throughout the dual-meet season.

With liberal arts and business at Merritt, and the trade-technical program at Laney campus. the good ol the college is taken for granted. It is the peoplels college, planned to serve their needs. Academically, Oakland City College is tough. Its courses are loaded with Math, Chemistry, Physical Sciences, History, Literature and Philosophy, and it has the reputation of being quite Willing to eschew certain educational frills. Beyond the educational pale and practical service approach. the OCC campuses reflect many things: a great deal of strength, the interest of devoted men. and a multitude of physical needs of a large community.

Blaring music from the record player forms the background for the clickety clack of the typewriters. the crash of falling coffee cups, and the buzz of human voices . . . sometimes raised in anger. but most of the time filled with gaiety and laughter. The gray' haze of cigarette smoke fills the air: desks and floors are littered with pictures. layout. and copy. but work goes on and the Oak Log takes form. Like many' publications staffs the 1959 Oak Log staff suffered through tight dead- lines and many' changeovers. Getting settled found Bonnie Kane and Chuck Edwards as eo-editors. and Dick Hoffman and Betsy Crowley' as Laney assistant editors. At mid- semester Chuck Edwards transferred to San Francisco State. and Dick Hoffman grad- uated. They. Bonnie. Betsy. Linda Bailey. Al Nielson. Rich Gohlke. Fred McDonald and Mr. Eddie Abood, were the stalwarts whose contributions made up for the loss of the two editors and did much to make the book a realization. The Oak Log has more editorial work in it than any two other annuals its size. I if you donit believe it take a look at some others and see for yourself! and writing copy required much time and no less skill. 'lt doesnit seem like it, but there are many people who have contributed to the completion of the Oak Log. Among those special helpers were Doug Johnston, Busi- ness Managerg Dr. John Summersette, Adviserg and Mr. Eddie Abood, Faculty Coordinator for Laney Campus. Withcmut their contributions the Oak Log could not have survived. Even those who are not seen on these pages--the fans and the well wishers. played a big part. too.

The Oak Log, feeling unbound by the obstacle of conformity, continued to ex- periment with the 35 mm approach in photography. Most of the 35 mm shots were made by Cal Bernstein, Francisco Ortiz, Sy Marcuse, and Al Nielson. Laneyls Photography Department, under the directorship of Mr. Noll produced the Laney Faculty photograph and many others used as ucasualsw throughout the book. Wilbur Kee from Laney was the principal photographer most seen on the campus taking photographs. The yearbook covers were from S. K. Smith Company, and secured through Mr. Ralph Buckwalter, former Editor of the 1955 Stanford University Quad. Cover design was the selection of Editor Kane and a special committee. l.,!ll71llI1X Sfmlwrzl Grzzurrnzzwzl Offzn' . . , Rrgixlmlizm lfkfilrlrw JI :Unk gjbw, df ,,,,,,,, Iiiufogj llvflllllllfkll Alctlarxrfx Nigbl Pt717Si'1f'f' Hvfnrf vxfwm-iuzwzf H-- jv',f::.w,:,.,, U . isis' . k va M M fa, ff' M gg ,Q , 1 QLEQZW , .
