MOORE their bert their bert FOREWQRD This Viking college is a lusty Infant, but an Infant still. Its growth has been phenomenal even for Southern Califor- nia. It boasts already a blue ribbon or two in the junior college parade. But the history of its achievements is neces- sarily brief to accord With its tender years. Some future day, We dare to hope, when the Infant is full-grown, this meager record will call up happy memories not unmixed with pride. The Editor WILLIAM LOGAN STEPHENS Superintendent of Schools DEDICATION To William Logan Stephens, whose vision of a system fully articulate, from Kindergarten to lunior College, has made possible our being, we dedicate this Saga for 1928. Entrance to the Science Building, from the North ADMIN ISTRATICN 10 SAGA for 1928 Left to right: Mr. Lounsbury, Mis: Trauger, Miss Paine, Miss Williams, Dr. Bush. DMINISTRATION - The Long Beach junior College has surpassed in first-year enrollment all similar institutions in the United States, under the able administration of john L. Lounsbury, principal, Dr. Ralph Bush, dean, Miss Mat- tie Paine, dean of women, Miss Alta Wil- liams, counselor-registrar, and Miss Pearle Trauger, secretary to the dean. The total enrollment is at present six hundred and seventy-three students, while one hundred and seventy-five were actually turned away. High school records came to the Junior Col- lege from twenty-eight different states, two foreign countries, and the Philippine Islands. Two types of curricula are offered to the students: a certificate course for those hav- ing twelve to fifteen high school recommend- ing credits and expecting to attend some university at the end of two years, and a diploma and vocational course for students having less than twelve accepted credits and intending to enter business and professional life. ' Among the courses listed for the certifi- cate student are pre-legal, pre-medical, pre- engineering, pre-teacher training, commerce and administration, general liberal arts, for the diploma student-secretarial, general business, home economics, pre-nursing, jour- nalism, practical engineering, practical ar- chitectural, music, art, general liberal arts, and transfer. This transfer course is a vital part of the curriculum. If a student wishes to pursue a profession and has not a sufficient number of recommended grades to take the certificate course, he may, through the transfer course, fulfill college entrance requirements. When his recommended grades have reached the requisite number, he is enrolled in the regu- lar certificate course. Varied opportunities for cultivating, with adequate guidance but student responsibility, the social and recreational side of college life have been approved by the administrative staff in order to encourage leadership. The policy of thefadministration has been to encourage student government. The col- lege, unified into an Associated Student Body, chooses its officers, who, subject to the approval of a faculty member, direct the affairs of the institution. This opportunity for the development of initiative constitutes one of the most important debts of college students to the administration. SAGA for 1928 11 ACULTY-If the lot of first-year students in a first-year college is hard, the lot of the faculty members is harder still. Nevertheless, Long Beach Jun- ior College teachers subordinated their troubles and devoted themselves to solving those of the students. The faculty roster reads: mathematics- Karl Heilman and Dwight F. Windenburgg social science-Dr. Dwight C. Baker, Harold Seal, Charles W. jackson, and Albert Small, physical science-Miss Lena Higgins, Miss Lena Mainord, Dr. Mabel Lewis Roe, john F. Mangold, and Charles T. Phipps, languages-Miss Jessie L. Rau, Mrs. Lucy M. Rolin, William Kerr, Julian Greenupg art-Miss Ruth Burdick and Miss Evelyn Olsen, music-Miss Charlot Louise Brecht and George C. Moore, physical education- Miss Clarinne Llewellyn, Mrs. Ada L. Sergel, Bert Smith, and Harry E. Coleman, English -Miss F. Elinor Wallace, Miss Florence Carpenter, Dr. Elizabeth Collette, Miss Erica Weary, Miss Katheryn Harrison, Miss Katharyn Kennedy, and R. V. Woodward, commerical-Miss Glee Duncan, and indus- trial arts-Mark Bovee and Robert F. Lane. Two committees have been organized to cope with curriculum and student problems. The special committee of curriculum revision compiled the Junior College Manual and Outline of Courses in time to meet the needs of mid-year entrants. Outlines of nineteen undergraduate certificate courses were in- cluded. Complete provision was made for the requirements of the University of Cali- fornia, Stanford, and the more liberal East- ern colleges. Members of this committee were Dr. Bush, Miss Carpenter, Miss Dun- can, Miss Higgins, Miss Rau, Miss Wallace, Miss Williams, Dr. Baker, Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Phipps. Each member of the second committee, the advisory board, has been assigned a sec- tion of the student body to counsel in mat- ters pertaining to vocation, choice of studies, and scholarship. Registration of present students for next semester was directed by the advisers. This group con:isted of Chairman C. W. jackson, Miss Carpenter, Miss Dun- can, Miss Higgins, Miss Olsen, Miss Rau, Miss Wallace, Miss Weary, Dr. Baker, Mr. Greenup, Mr. Heilman, Mr. Phipps, and Mr. Seal. Miss Fay Tunison and Miss Helen Iredell supervised the combined High School and Junior College library. f!

SSOCIATED STUDENT BODY- At one of the first meetings in the history of the Long Beach Junior College Robert Dickinson, Catherine Wood, Pete Archer, Jack Lewis, Lionel Lewis, Helen Pomeroy, and Richard Clemmer were ap- pointed to draw up a constitution for the organization of an associated student body. The result of their efforts was accepted with a few minor changes. Electing Robert Dickinson president, Susan Bond vice-president, Catherine Wood secre- tary, Ted Russell treasurer, Yvonne Ander- son representative of arts, William Davis representative of athletics, jean Wood repre- sentative of the student body at large, and Ernest Denning editor of the Figurehead, the Associated Student Body launched into its first semester early in October. Under the experienced leadership of Charles W. jackson, adviser, the Cabinet carried out the specific provisions of the adopted constitu- tion. A student body ticket was issued during the fall term, entitling the holder to mem- bership in the A. S. B., a subscription to the Figurehead, admission to all inter-league sports, fifty per cent reduction on all student body productions, and discount on all student body activities not otherwise men- tioned. The ticket is also interchangeable with the ticket of the Woodrow Wilson High School. The Cabinet decrees that no student may participate in any activity representing the student body nor be a member of any organization drawing money from the A. S. B. funds unless he holds such a ticket. Tick- ets are not transferable. For the second semester the officers re- mained unchanged, except that Nellie De Witte was elected editor of the Figurehead and Tom Vasey- representative of the student body. Directed by Sam Gates, a committee on traditions, consisting of Chairman Walter Miller, Hugh Linnell, Claude Stevens, Flor- ence Mitchell, Dorothea Bell, Edith Badger, and Mary Miller Kress, worked out a system by which Freshman traditions and those for the college at large might be developed and enforced. The first week of school in Septem- ber was set aside as Rally Week, and a varied program of activities was detailed. A man- . SAGA for 1928 13 ifesto declaring the privileges and restrictions of Freshmen and Sophomores was submitted to the Cabinet for approval. Gradually the tradition committee resolved itself into the Orders of Thor and Valkyrie. A yell and totem contest resulted in an en- thusiastic response: Meldo Harrison received the first prize of five dollars with his V-V- V-I-K yell and Lloyd Alexander second, with his Whistle Yell,', Mary Graham won first place for her suggestion of Viking as the school totem, and Lloyd Alexander sec- ond, for his Eagle The Cabinet sponsored the yell contest, but the Press-Telegram awarded the prizes for the totems. When tryouts for yell leaders opened at assembly and eleven students responded, the Cabinet, basing its judgment on popular applause, chose William Van Ee head leader and Farnsworth Cheroske assistant. With Black and White as the official colors and the Viking as symbol of the col- lege, a committee consisting of Billy Davis and Yvonne Anderson under Richard Dick- inson selected a college sweater. For letter- men a distinctive type was chosen: black with a white athletic letter and service bands. The familiar school sweater is black with a black and white binding, the Viking's head emblem and numerals, it is made in two styles, sweater coat and slipover. r A point system carefully planned by Coach Bert Smith, Dr. Ralph Bush, Robert Dickin- son, and Billy Davis has been adopted for men interested in athletics. The Cabinet ap- proved the rules. Sponsoring both the Figurehead and the Saga, the Cabinet appointed the staff of the year book upon the recommendation of the English department. The Cabinet also selected managers for stage, athletics, and de- bate. Louis Risley was appointed stage man- ager, Roy Short presided over basketball, Vin- cent Wood, assisted by Bill Gulko, managed the track team, Leonard teGroen aguided the destinies of the golf squad, Meldo Harrison coached and managed the tennis team, Jack Huber was overseer to the baseball aggrega- tion, and Marion Henzler piloted the forensic squadron. Appointment of membership to the three honor societies, the Committee of Ceremonies, and the Orders of Thor and Valkyrie, was the duty of the student officers. By virtue of this appointment the organizations are sub- ject to the Cabinet. Although all assem- blies are planned and scheduled by the Com- mittee of Ceremonies, the student body presi- dent always presides, and although the Orders of Thor and Valkyrie are in charge of col- lege traditions, their plans are submitted to the vote of the Cabinet. Important in the business of the officers was the consideration and acceptance of stu- dent body organization budgets. All ex- penditures had to be approved by the Cabinet. One of the allotments was for the Florida Land Grant of 1766 donated to the Wilson library. Organizations receiving budgets from A. S. B. funds are the Associated Women Students, the Women's Athletic As- sociation, Debate, the Figurehead, the Saga, and Men's Athletics. The Vikings were represented at two Southern California junior college conven- tions. Ted Russell attended the first, held at Fullerton Junior College February 10, and spoke on the topic, The Civil Relations of Junior Collegesn, the entire Cabinet was pres- ent at the second conference, held at Comp- ton April 12. Bob Dickinson talked on The Intercollegiate Exchange of Assembly Pro- grams. The social program of the Associated Stu- dent Body included the Freshman Reception and a Viking Hop.

OMMITTEE OF CEREMONIES -Organized by the Cabinet near the end of the first semester, the Com- mittee of Ceremonies has as its purpose su- pervising the social life of the Junior College. The committee is headed by a chairman ap- pointed by the cabinet, and ranking in honor next to the student body president. Four members are chosen from the student body at large. The others are the cheer leaders, presidents of the Thors and Valkyries, and representatives of Arts and Athletics. Officers of the group for 1927-8 were Phil Gregory, chairman, Vincent Wood, vice- chairman, and Ernest Denning, secretary and treasurer. All assemblies, rallies, bonfires, rooting sections, special parades, and stuntseare under the direction of the committee, according to the rules made by the Cabinet. Several lively assemblies were sponsored in the first semester of the committee's existence. Dramatists from U. S. C. with their asso- ciates of the Drama Shop featured two skits and some monologues. Among those pres- ent in the cast was Bill Miller, late of Poly High, who officiated in the capacity of monologist. The first skit presented the dilemma of two gentlemen wearing pink carnations as marks of identification, the sec- ond mingled polite blackmail with gripping reminiscences of the World War. A black- face Mammy-singer furnished a finishing touch to the program. Two events, both directed by Phil Gregory, stand out in the memory of those familiar with the committee's work. The first was a reception to incoming Freshmen, held early in the second semester at the Hotel Virginia. In the receiving line were the administrators, faculty members, and student officers. A program followed, 'including selections by members of the Men's Glee and Madrigal Clubs, and a welcome by Superintendent W. L. Stephens. Dancing occupied the re- mainder of the evening. The biggest social event of the year was the First Annual Viking Spring Hop at the Scottish Rite Cathedral May 12. John te Groen and his ,Hotel Alexandria orchestra furnished the entertainment. In addition to the dance program the Committee secured several vaudeville acts from a local theatre, by way of variety.

SSOCIATED W O M E N S T U- DENTS-Meeting the first Tues- day of the Fall session and electing as pro tem officers Mary McMillan, chair- man, and Edith Badger, secretary, the women of the junior College started plans for a pre- election lawn party. The constitution was then accepted at a special business meeting and officers were elected: Mary McMillan, president, Blanche 'Mertins, vice-president, Mymie Warrell, re- cording secretaryg Susan Bond, corresponding secretary, and Lois Bardwell, treasurer. Under the chairmanship of Lois Bardwell, plans were made to give a tea to those wo- men who had attended neither Poly nor Wil- son the preceding year. The affair met with considerable success. Before Christmas the social service committee, under Dorothymae Risdon, conducted a drive to collect new and slightly used toys for the Spanish-American children at El Mirasol School. - In February the Associated Women Stu- dents again served tea, this time to the in- coming Freshman women. Scon after, coop- erating with the Girls' League of Woodrow Wilson High School, A. W. S. started its drive to raise two hundred dollars for the Girls' League cabin. As part of this drive Margaret O'Connor put on her famous fash- ion show. Ruth Pratt was in charge of the sale of logs and tags. The A. W. S. Hi-.links and masquerade, held at the Ebell Club, furnished the high light of the organization's social season. Prizes were awarded for the best costume and for the best stunt produced by a women's organization. As a climax to the year's activ- ities, the A. W. S. held its installation cere- monies at the Club California, there Vikings once more landed on the beach and were re- ceived with much more ceremony than was shown Eric the Red. Business meetings of the Associated Wo- men Students may occur at any time, cabinet meetings take place every two weeks. The cabi- net consists of the officers of the organization, the advisers, Miss Mattie M. Paine and Miss Helen M. Iredellg the president of the Wo- men's Athletic Association, Edith Badger, and the adviser, Miss Clarinne Llewellyn, the president of the Student Club, Evlyn Law- rence, and the advisers, Dr. Elizabeth Col- lette and Miss Josephine Renier.

RDER OF VALKYRIE-Thirteen women compose the Valkyries, a self-perpetuating committee created and appointed by the Cabinet to enforce Freshman. traditions. Valkyrie officers for 1927-8 were Marion I-Ienzler, president, Mary Miller Kress, vice- president, Eva Geiger, secretary-treasurer, and Marcella Ryerson, sergeant-at-arms. Nellie Dewitte, editor of the Figurehead, was hon- orary member and Mrs. Ada Sergel adviser.

ONOR SOCIETY-The Honor Society, a group of twenty-six stu- dents of the upper quarter of the student body in scholarship rating, chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service, was organized at the beginning of the second semester. An unofficial group of former members of high school scholarship societies met the first semester and instituted a plan of student tutoring. The committee in Jdiarge was com- posed of Richard Clemmer, Robert Dickin- son, and Marjorie Hall, with Miss Jessie Rau as adviser. A chart was posted on the bul- letin board, giving the subject, name of tutor, period, and room in which the tutoring was offered. After grades for the first semester's work were complete, the Honor students were elected by a secret faculty committee. At an impressive assembly of the entire student body held Thursday, April 5, Dean Ralph H. Bush presiding, the charter mem- bers of the Honor Society of the Long Beach Junior College filed to the platform, where Charles W. Jackson and Dr. Dwight Baker presented the Honor Society ideals of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. Dr. Bush administered the oath. Dr. W. W. Kemp, dean of the School of Education of the University of California, delivered the address. ' At the first meeting of the group, Thomas Vasey was elected chairman pro tem. jack Lewis was appointed chairman of the constitution committee. A constitution was drafted and adopted. Thomas Vasey later became president, William Davis, vice-presi- dentg and Margaret. O'Connor, secretary- treasurer. Miss Jessie Rau was unanimously elected faculty adviser. , Members of the Honor Society were Katherine Allen, Alyce Asahi, Burr Beistle, Rachel Carlson, Richard Clemmer, Agness Cook, William Davis, Nellie DeWitte, Rob- ert Dickinson, Mary Loretto Feltman, Edith Grimes, George Harrington, Helen Herd- liska, Irene Holden, Ernest Ishigaki, Mary Miller Kress, Jack Lewis, Hugh Linnell, Bo- nita Mathews, Margaret O'Connor, Teresa Panero, Betty Starr Risdon, Dorothy Russell, Alice Skutt, Thomas Vasey, Lila Wolfe. zo SAGA for 1928 Back row, left to right: Russell, Crosley, Drake, second row: Denning, Knox, S.

IGHT AND SHADOW-Soon after the beginning of school last fall a group of students interested in drama- tics met to organize. They elected Dorothea Bell president, Anna Maude Morath vice- president, Ted Russell secretary, and Mymie Warrell treasurer. Miss Katharyn Kennedy is coach and adviser. At the beginning of the second semester, because of the withdrawal of Dorothea Bell, Anna Maude Morath was elected president, and Eva Pedersen vice-president. Four one-act plays and one skit were pre- sented during the year. The first was Good Medicine. The cast consisted of Bradford Bond, the doctor, Mymie Warrell, his wife, Eva Pedersen, the patient. A clever skit, written and directed by Dorothea Bell and entitled Six Feet Of Pantomimef' was presented at the college and at Polytechnic High School. The cast in- cluded Lloyd Alexander, the boy, Margaret Underhill, thegirl, and W. Bond Good- man, her father. The Knave of Hearts appeared at general assembly. Characters were Eva Peder- sen, Lady Violetta, W.

AMA'S AFFAIR-Presented at a single performance, Friday, June 1, in the college auditorium, the first annual Long Beach Junior College play, written by Rachel Barton Butler, concerned the trials and tribulations of a young lady with a strong-minded Mama, a young man with an even stronger-minded Mama, and a Doctor with no ambition for marriage. The cast included Ted Russell, Tommy Hooper, Homer Schwarz, Henry Marchant, jack King, Dr. Jansen, Mary Loretto Felt- man, Eve Orrin, Eva Pedersen, Mrs. Orrin, Catherine Wood, Mrs. Marchant, Nellie Larson, Mrs. Bundy. Miss Katharyn Ken- nedy was dramatic director and Miss Ruth Burdick scenic director. The play opens upon the not very subtle machinations of the two fond Mamas, Mrs. Orrin and Mrs. Marchant, who have plotted to marry their respective offspring, Eve Or- rin and Henry Marchant, to each other and thereby cement a friendship dating from early girlhood. Henry is no more than an insignificant pawn moved about to suit his sentimental mother, Eve is not easily ordered about, but her Mama has discovered that she may be coerced by well-simulated illness. The Doctor, called in to minister to Mrs. Orrin's hypochrondria, prescribes for Eve's nerves. His prescription is ignored and, to prevent a nervous breakdown, he shelters Eve in his home while treating her to a rest cure. Henry, seconded by his Mama, hounds Eve back to the dubious shelter of her home. Eve, far from appreciating Henry's atten- tions, prefers the Doctor, who is, it would seem, inoculated against all women. Even the fact that Eve loves him, obvious to everyone but the members of the cast, fails to make an impression upon him. Driven, at last, to desperate straits by the constant friction at home and by Henry's helpful ways, Eve disappears. Henry's Mama righteously accuses the Doctor of abduction and seduction, the Doctor indignantly insists that she is mistaken, unaware that, at the moment of his innocent protestations, Eve is in his kitchen, weeping upon the com- fortable shoulder of his housekeeper, Mrs. Bundy. Somehow the Doctor discovers that he loves Eve, and at last the plotting Mamas are confounded. The production staff comprised: Cevilla De Blois, assistant director, Girard Crosley, manager, Ernest Denning, advertising. L A 0 X 22 X' SAGA for 1928 n-. C 5 IRQ.. 'f' is S L.

EBATE - Championship of the Western Division of the Southern California Junior College Debate Conference tests with Long Beach as a re- sult of the season's forensic victories. At the beginning of the school year ten students turned out for the squad. Only two were experienced debaters. The group selected was composed of Ted Russell, cap- tain, Marion Henzler, manager, joe Anakin, Tom Vasey, Margaret O'Connor, Robert Goldman, Frank Maclntyre, Marie De Roch- ie, and Mary McMillan. Sam Gates was coach in all of the year's debate and oratorical work. The question used in all of the Western Division debates was, Resolved, Thar a na- tion with an advanced civilization is justified in forcing its civilization on an inferior people. In defeating Pasadena Junior College 2-1 on December 2, Ted Russell and Joseph Ana- kin accomplished a victory never before re- corded against the Pirate institution in a conference debate and one which was not duplicated this year. Frank Maclntyre and Bob Goldman de- feated Glendale 3-O on the same night, when they took the affirmative side of the question in their home auditorium. An unofficial debate with Compton re- sulted in an overwhelming victory for the Viking debaters. U. S. C. Frosh also suc- cumbed to the Black and White onslaught in a similar match. The second round of league debates found Long Beach pitted against Santa Ana and Fullerton. Both of these schools lost by 2-1 decisions to the Ted Russell-Joseph Anakin combination and that of Margaret O'Connor and Bob Goldman respectively. Because of its victory in the Western Di- vision, Long Beach was destined to meet Cit- rus Junior College in a dual debate for the championship of Southern California. De- fending the affirmative of Resolved, That the present interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine as applied by the United States should be condemned, Miss O'Connor and Joe Anakin defeated Citrus 2-1. Ted Rus- sell and Tom Vasey lost by the same verdict at Citrus. Robert Dickinson represented the Vikings in the Southern California junior College Or-- atorical Contest, placing fourth in a group of ten contestants.

ADUCEUS-Pre-medic men were among the first to organize. Purpos- ing to investigate the relations of therapeutics to everyday affairs, the group spends most of its time in technical study. A number of good times have found their way into the club program. Officers for 1927-8 were Bill Van Ee, president, Arnold Friedman, vice-president, Louis Risley, secretary-treasurer, and Claire Pike, historian. RUSH AND PENCIL-Studying Gainsborouglfs Blue Boy, Milt Gross's Nize Baby and various in- termediate types, Brush and Pencil members have devoted the year to an investigation of all phases of graphic art.

OOPERATIVE STORE--A certain percentage of the year's profits is recognized as belonging to the junior College Student Body inasmuch as the Vi- kings bought more than five thousand books from the store. Junior College students who assisted in the store were Ramona Brooks, assistant adviser, Edith Brooks, assistant student manager, Charles Hopping, head cashier, Virginia Sheehan and Helen Kimble, cashiers. Mrs. Ruby C. Yager, assisted by Mrs. F. White, acted as faculty adviser. j . l 5 ' . jp fi-' TAGE CREW-By far the largest project of the Stage Crew was Mama's Affairf, the annual school play.

W. C. A., has functioned well in the social activities of college women. The initial cabinet consisted of Evlyn Lawrence, president, Lila Wolfe, vice-presi- dent, Mildred McLeay, secretary, a nd Frances Kincaid, treasurer. Dr. Elizabeth Collette and Miss Josephine Renier are the advisers. OLLEGE Y-Men interested in Y. M. C. A.-Junior College affiliation organized the College Y, an organi- zation similar to the women's Student Club. A strong Christian fellowship among men of the junior College is the object of this group. Men associated with the Y. M. C. A. have been instrumental in completing organi- zation plans. Wider campus activity will be manifest next year in the form of assemblies, entertainments, and athletic competit'ons.

The fourteen charter members, with Miss Florence M. Carpenter, faculty adviser, elected Lila Wolfe executive chair- man, Meldo Harrison scribe, and Catherine Wood business manager. A spring manu- script tryout yielded six new members. Emergv, Cook. Harrison. YPE AND COPY- Organized for the purpose of obtaining practical ex- perience in journalism and for foster- ing publications on the campus, Type and Copy, Junior College Press Club, was formed by the Figurehead staff. At the mid-semes- ter seven new members were admitted. Officers were Eva Geiger, president, Lau- rene Watkins, vice-president, Nellie DeWitte, secretary, and Lionel Lewis, treasurer.

With- out cooperation from all of the staff mem- bers the task could never have been com- pleted. Full assistance from the Administra- tion was also needed and supplied. Doubt as to the advisability of an annual this year existed till a late date, when the Student Body declared its unwillingness to let this first momentous year go unheralded. Over three hundred and fifty students sub- scribed to a petition in favor of the annual, and a circulation of more than that num- ber was assured at the time'the book went to press. They felt that although there is no graduating class, a chronicle of events should be available. Saga is the name submitted by George Harrington and selected by the Cabinet as most suitable. Bradford Bond, editor, and Agness Cook, associate editor, established the year book's policies and handled routine matters such as copy and proof reading. Meldo Harrison, Harold Saueressig, and Bond Goodman directed the business relations of the publica- tion as business manager, associate business manager, and circulation manager respectively. Eva Geiger as pictorial 'editor was assisted by Walter Miller in preparing the photo- graphic work in the publication. Work in the other departments fell -to Susan Bond and Nellie DeWitte, administration, Ernest Denning, campus, and Douglas Knox and Hugh Linnell, men's athletics. Miss Florence Carpenter was general ad- viser, while Miss Evelyn Olsen of the Junior College Art Department and Robert F. Lane of the print shop contributed in strong measure to the success of the year book's ap- pearance. j. P. Kuper supplied the photography for the publication, the Pacific Engraving Com- pany furnished the engravings, and the Beach City Printing Company took care of the presswork. The usual procedure is to combine the an- nuals in the high school and junior college. Long Beach Junior College is one of the first in the United States to publish a separate year book in its initial year. I , LSAGA for 1928 33 rg l Back row, left to right: Knox, Bond, L.

IGUREHEAD-One of the greatest factors in the creation of a true col- lege spirit has been the weekly appear- ance of the Figurehead, published by the As- sociated Student Body. With twenty-two regular editions this paper has seen a pros- perous year. -The first issue was published by the jour- nalism class early in October with Bradford Bond acting as editor. Immediately after student body elections, Ernest Denning started his work as editor, publishing the paper regularly each Friday. Nellie De- Witte was editor during the second semester, beginning her duties early in February. The Blockhead, a razz edition, appeared once each semester. Two special issues also advertised student body elections with cam- paign articles for the various candidates. Staff members for the first and second semesters respectively were: Nellie DeWitte and Eva Geiger, managing editor, Eva Geiger and jack Lewis, news editor, Art Cohn and Douglas Knox, sports, Bradford Bond and Meldo Harrison, government, jack Lewis and Homer Schwarz, academics, Dorothymae Risdon and Laurene Watkins, music and arts, Ada Mae Price, Dorothy Ransdell, and Dorothy Rankin, clubs, Maxine Rambo and Virginia West, women's activities, Betty Ris- don, features, Meldo Harrison and Ernest Denning, Association Service. Reporters for the year were Marie De- Rochie, Mabel Conitz, Camille Lombard, Marjorie Laws, Jane Root, Bond Goodman, Louis Bardwell, and Harold Patterson. Miss Katheryn Harrison has been the journalism adviser and Robert F. Lane, tech- nical adviser. Lionel Lewis was manager. Staff members were instrumental in or- ganizing a press club, Type and Copy. The staff was able to review the work in the print shop at different times, thereby gaining a knowledge of the mechanical side of printing a newspaper. The Long Beach Junior College is a char- ter member of the California Junior College Press Association, having sent delegates to the organization meeting at Pasadena in October.

ASKETBALL-When Coach Bert in presenting U. S. C. Dental College a de- Smith sounded the call for the open- ing of official Viking basketball prac- tice, an unpromising group of some twenty players, for the most part inexperienced, re- sponded. Out of this group Coach Smith moulded the most powerful quintet in the Western Division of the Junior College Con- ference, a machine that romped through all opposition in the circuit, that crushed Pasa- dena in the final game, 29-235 and that fal- tered in its meteoric rise only in the playoffs for the Southern California championship. Forced by the playoff system to meet San Bernardino, second place winner in the East- ern Division, the Vikings slumped to a defeat of 33-31, in their only loss to a jaysee rival. Three practice games brought out the po- tential power of the Long Beach aggregation. For the maiden triumph of the Long Beach crew, a,determined second-half rally turned a possible defeat at the hands of the California Christian College into a 32-24 victory. Go- ing into the next game with the same spirit, the Vikings held Redlands University's great- est team to a one-point victory. Ten days later Coach Smith tested over half his squad cisive 38-21 defeat. In the opening three conference battles the Long Beach machine averaged more than a point a minute. Flashes of individual bril- liance backed by team cooperation featured the walk-away with Glendale, 42-16. In the Ful- lerton game, the versatile Black and White quintet met a new style of play which they thwarted with the greatest offensive and de- fensive exhibition yet displayed. At half- time Long Beach held a scant four-point lead: at the end of the game this lead was increased to 40-18 by a twenty-six point rally. A week later the local collegians went on a scoring orgy against the Compton Tartars. When the dust had cleared away, and all the scores had been compiled, the count stood: Long Beach 50, Compton 15. just when the Black and White quintet seemed to be functioning to perfection, the machinery struck a snag and was barely able to take out a thrilling 24-23 victory over the Santa Ana Dons. Something was woefully lacking in the attack, the Vikings seemed to have toppled to mediocrity. That was on Friday, February 3. On February 11, it was b Lf oA If SAGA for 1928 37 a different story, for then Coach Smith's war- riors climbed to the pinnacle of their season's success. Playing glorious basketball before nearly a thousand rabid spectators, an in- vincible Viking machine outclassed the highly- touted Pasadena Pirates in every department of the game. A sensational sprint in the last minutes of battle sent the Vikings to a convincing 29-23 win, and earned Long Beach Junior College her first athletic title, the basketball championship of the Western Divi- sion of Southern California Junior Colleges. In two playoff games the Viking five se- cured an even break. In the worst slump of the year they dropped a hectic tilt to San Bernardino, 33-31, but later trounced River- side decisively, 34-12. Coach Smith developed two of the great- est individual stars in the conference in Cap- tain Billy Davis and John Tank Frank. Davis' guarding was above reproach, and his Other lettermen who performed admirably were Hugh Linnell and Roland Sagehorn, guardsg john Osler and James Rimmer, cen- ters, and Milton Thompson, forward, Smith's capable reserve squad included Brooks Sackett, Kenneth Walker, Lloyd Alexander, Bill Van Ee, Don Jaques, Don Loucks, and Dave Bradbury. Since every member of the team which ran up 336 points to 204 for the opposition will return next year, and since a wealth of new material from prep schools is expected, it is almost safe to predict that the Viking quintet of 1929 will follow the precedent set by this year's aggregation. Many of this year's leading teams, includ- ing the championship San Bernardino five, will be hit by graduation next year to the advantage of the 1929 Vikings. The season's record in individual scoring is leadership was inspiring.

W g , RACK--Two unlocked-for wins at the expense of Glendale and Comp- ton called forth enthusiastic response from track fans, but the success of later en- gagements was all on the side of opponents. Coach Oak Smith and his team deserve praise since they made creditable showing with inexperienced material. In the first meet Long Beach eliminated Glendale by a 641-6 to 57 5-6 count. The next match, with Fullerton, was cancelled be- cause of rain. Long Beach still kept her record clean when she defeated Compton by a thrilling 67 to 64 score in the second win of the season. But Santa Ana spelled the Viking downfall with a 75 to 47 verdict. The annual conference meet at the new Compton grounds found Pasadena by far the best of the eleven conference teams, with Riverside only a poor second. Long Beach ended seventh. The final meet with Pasa- dena was cancelled because of conflict of dates. Farnsworth Cheroske led the procession of point-winners, amassing a total of twenty- eight for the season in the high-jump, discus, and hurdles. Burton Fleming was second C ,- g,.ij'7401-A' Q with eighteen points gained in the 220-yard dash and the shot-put. Hal Swain followed with fourteen in the discus and shot-put, Robert Miller with thirteen in the two-mile, and Carlton Benson with thirteen in the mile. John Fletcher, another letterman, starred in the broad jump, placing fourth in the an- nual meet. Clarence Miller garnered eleven points via the pole-vault, and Leo Reed ran the 880-yard to secure eight. Tank Frank, all-round sportsman, placed second in the pole-vault at the big conference meet at Compton. Many of the men were robbed of letters because of the fact that they were rained out of one match and the last contest was can- celled. Inexperienced material hampered Coach Smith greatly this year, but the com- ing season promises to be eventful, with the advent of the Frosh, and one year of training behind the present team. Coach Smith was well satisfied with the boys as a dual meet team, but a lack of star material proved fatal at the big Compton meet. Vincent Wood served as track manager and Bill Gulko as assistant manager. ' JM ,aw SAGA for 1928 39 . . ,swf 1 - -Q 1 r 4 .Eh is Axhh V V ' .. 1 ' it 4 f ' x 4 I - ,gl sin- rw. .

Every department was capably filled. Fred Talbert has been the leading moundsman, with -Don Fleming and Merle Pohlmann in the reserve. Behind the plate Hal Swain has done the major portion of the work, with Selly Sackett, home-run king, ready for relief. Captain Kenny Walker has done ad- mirable work at first base and has led his teammates in a perfect fielding record. At second and in the hitting department Tank Frank has also starred. Cliff Meyer began the season at first base, but an injury to his leg necessitated his retirement subsequent removal from third to first. Stan Shepard, who leads his team with a batting average of .440, has held down short- stop with consistency. Sackett, relief catcher, has filled in at third. A serious loss to the team was realized when an accident to Tom Hitt robbed the outfield of a brilliant fly- chaser and the offensive department of a powerful hitter. Frank Hopkins, Roland and Frank's Sagehorn, and Ed Barker have all been play. ing consistent ball in the outfield. Eleven practice matches preceded the opening of the season, hence the boys were well-groomed for action when the gun sounded for the initial league battle.

NTRAMURAL-Boasting a highly suc- cessful season under the direction of Coach Bert Smith and the managership of Roy Short, the intramural activities for 1927-8 met the lack of athletic contests in the Junior College and brought to light prom- ising prospects for the coming year. The six competing teams, with their man- agers, were: Weasels, Bob Corlcishg Cyclones, Jack Huber, Longfellows, Harold Saueressigg Demons, Milton Thompson, Varsity, Wil- liam Davis, and Collegians, Hugh Linnell. ELL LEADERS - The yell leaders, Bill Van Ee and Cherry Cher- oske, were chosen by the Cabinet after a three-minute display of their prowess in assembly.

OMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSO- CIATION - Women's athletics have been in the hands of Edith Badger, Frances Kincaid, Mary Ransom and Hazel Emery--president, vice-president, sec- retary, and treasurer, respectively, of the Women's Athletic Association. Miss Clar- inne Llewellyn is the organization's adviser. In addition to the officers, the cabinet in- cludes the major sport heads, elected bythe members of the association. The first major sport this year was basket- ball. With the beginning of practice the teams ran into the obstacle that has seriously affected all team practices and playoffs throughout the year-time, it has been im- possible to select a practice hour that would fit conveniently everyone's program. The one appearance of the college basketball team this year was in the Play Day program at Pasadena. V Field hockey, under the managership of Mildred McI..eay, occupied the winter months. The hockey eleven was victorious over the High School teams and won its post-season game at the Glendale Play Day. Speedball, the University of Michigan's intramural sport, succeeded soccer as a major sport this year. The game is a combination of soccer and basketball and has proved the most popular sport this year. In the playoffs the college eleven lost to the Seniors by one point, but vanquished the High School cham- pions, the Sophomores, by a considerable margin. Cevilla DeBlois managed the team. Basketball, under Bonnie Malloy, finished the year's games. At Chaffee the team won its game in the Play Day program. Besides these sports, tennis tournaments have been held to determine the membership of teams for two Play Days, Glendale and Chaffee, and an invitational tournament at Fullerton. Clarice Horgan has been tennis head. Each gym class has been divided into two teams, the white Angels and the black Imps. During the basketball season che class champions played a tournament, the winning team consisting of Edith Brooks, Ramona Brooks, Virginia Sheehan, Dorothy Rankin, Mildred Knauf, and Helen Palmer.

At Chaffee Junior College the swimming team placed third. Mrs. Lily Kel- seyistarred for the local association. Hiking, with Helen Wolzak as sport head, has not been an organized sport this year but has furnished a method of earning points to- ward an athletic award. E Awards are earned by a point system simi- lar to the systems used in colleges, five hun- dred points are necessary. Points may bc earned as follows: 100 for making a first team, 50 for making a second team, 25 for practice teams, a point a mile for hiking, 50 for passing the swimming test, 100 additional points for other swimming feats.

Stores, and to some extent magazines, are responsible for spreading the news of new fashions, new trends in interior decorations, new inventions for lightening home labor, and so on and on. A woman's most important functions are to dress herself and her family well, and to make a comfortable home. Think how much this store does in helping the women of this city to do those two things! You can count on helpful information here at Marti's. Please avail yourself of it at any and all times! SAGA for 1928 MANY THANKS For your patronage this last year. Next year we will try even harder to please.
