This year the Increased total of enrolees 1900 strong, fig- ured heavily in the advancement of plans for the new building program. Collegians knew there were more of their kind when they had to wait in lines (right) in order to pay t-heir $5. The sleepy heads below found relief on each other ' s shoulders, while Shirley Kennedy took a turn at beauty technique. Characteristic of many tired feet are those below. Boyd McElhaney drove away the boredorrr of waiting in line with his portable radio. Numerous blanks of program books and seat checks caused more than one student to gasp at the mere thought of more registra- tion. Close quarters, lack of ample writing space, indecision, help from a boy and the result is shown below. Mary McGuire consults the schedule of classes before completing her temporary program. II f Dr. Horace Wheeler helps a baffled student complete his program. Programs were com- piled from long sheets containing a list of subjects, the hours offered and the Instruc- tors. Students ran through the mill again at the start of the spring semester. Lines and more lines collected. Clifford Vredenburgh scrutinizes a Junior Collegian ' s seat check before signing him up in one of his classes. Charts of classes contained names of all students scheduled to take them. 12 Virginia Newberry found reading a divert- ing pastime during the long period of wait- ing. Benches donated by the 1939 graduating class proved of use to weary Vikings. Floyd Curtis gets shot before connpleting his pernnanent registration. 13 Following registration students bought necessary textbooks. Yvonne Gamier and Virginia Lyons were two of the many to get their books from Vivian Wysynski at the Viking Co-op. Part of any Collegian ' s life is spent in waiting at the bus stop. mr- ! Crowded classrooms forced students to worm their way into lecture periods. Window tapping aided in conveying nnes- sages fronn one student to another. Advisees obtain information from Leonard Hubbard as part of the regular counsel- ling program. Students soon fell into the routine of hurry- ing to clases after the tardy bell had rung. Piles of papers to be graded greeted English department Head Mrs. Elinor Hiatt after classes were over. Time spent here is in addition to time spent in lectures. Contrary to belief, Instructors do not enjoy finding mistakes. While other instructors schooled their charges in formal English, Dr. George C. Booth and hiarry Frish- man taught them the terse con- cise style of newswriters. Some went into professional journalism; many did not. One phase of English courses cor- dially disliked both by students and instructors was term papers. This student Is striving over a 1 500 word research paper, which will be graded and kept by the depart- ment, hie will be able to see the mistakes, but will not retain the paper. Tess of the D ' UrbervIlles occu- pied the time of English IB stu- dents. They read it, reread it, ana- ized it, became angry at Tess. Invaluable assistance to English students is the dictionary, hiere students found spellings, pronoun- clatlons, definitions, synonyms, antonyms. With five copies In the department and the library, they still mispronounced and misused words. 16 Clifford Wright, head of the department, demonstrates pulse reactions to his class. Below Mrs. Ethel West points out the ana- tomy of humans. On the left Interested stu- dents seek for specimens on one of the fisid trips that were Included In the zoology course. 17 Engineering students have an excellent chance to benefit from one of the best mathematics departments in the junior college class. Bruce Beall carries the side rule used in class demon- strations. Leslie Nason, above, and Thomas Bartlett, below, solve problems on the black- board. Dr. Anne Thomson, head of the depart- ment, delves into the intricate parts of higher mathematics. Art students at the Junior College prepare for their life ' s occu- pation in one of the best courses of its kind offered in southern California. Courses included deal with the special talents of each students. Modeling is offered to those who wish to enter the field of sculpturing or ceramics. Practical experience is gained in the sketching classes by taking their easels onto the campus to dra passing scenes. Instructors take an active interest in the work of their students. Mrs. Mary Fry is shown marking cor- rections on the sketch of a Col- legian. Jewelry making draws the interest of many. In recent years work done in these classes has won sev- eral prizes. 19 Chemistry, physics and geology are inc ed in the physical science departnnent. Nobel Mines, upper left, head of the department concocts potions in a test tube. Upper right, physics students take an exam. Above, Her- bert White examines geologic specimens while Dr. Simon Kinsmon struggles with lab apparatus. Students on the right received practical information from the oil well demon- stration. 20 Variefy of languages confronted students at the Junior College, under the guidance of a capable staff. This was headed by Miss Mary Gassaway. Students in ad- vanced Spanish and French classes received actual reading experi- ence through subscriptions to newspapers and magazine . Pho- netics are important in every language. This was no less so in the pronounciation of French. Vi- kings also read text books in their quest for help in learning these subiects. Varied program of the social science de- partment enabled College students to ob- tain a wider viewpoint on life. Charles W. Jackson headed the department as dean of counselling. Students benefited from his guidance program. Mrs. Forest Peters, above, instructed psychology courses at the College. Dr. tHarry Johnson, left, taught history with its wide scope of problems. American Institutions, a course in United States government, was studied by prac- tically every Collegian. Dr. Kenneth Appel- gate, below devoted his teaching time to the course. 22 ■ - 4 H -. 0- - c. ■ i y-iia Commerce department of the College better equips students to enter fields of business. They learn the usual arts of typing, shorthand and transcription. Also included in the course are instruc- tions in the use of adding ma- chines and business English. Fu- ture accountants struggled with figures on large, ruled sheets. Miss Glee Duncan, departmental head left, made sure thai Col- legians learned the proper tech- nique in receiving dictation. ; ' f - m -I 23 Wudlc Many were the students whose realm of activity on the cannpus centered around the two music bungalows. Under this general heading of music there are numerous fields in which one may specialize. Represented here are the studies of piano, violin, singinT and actual composition of origin ■ pieces. Miss Edith hHitchcock, head ' the department, aids in improvi ' - ' : singing technique, belov . During t spirng, several of the musicians tc - part in the National Music festival -r: Los Angeles. Students miiled around in the women ' s lounge, while absorbing tea and talk. Dean of the ev: a bite. ;ning classes. Harold Seal, takes Social life and manners of Viking students were kept alive by an almost continuous stream of teas and dances. Top above, Jack Cooper, escorting Donna Carson, buys dance tickots at the door. Clubs held closed dinner dances as shown above. Popular dance of the semester is i e Backward dance. Men were given corsages as below. View of couples during one of the numerous dances. 25 The Martha Buehner swarmed with beginning seannen as the College introduced an unusual vocational course in maritime training this year. Students were coached in the ways of the sea by Captain Earl Glines. They became acquainted with charts, knots, paint, nails and even sails. 5 , 26 H 1 ! 1 Another innovation the curr irjlg of the Junior College was the fliqht ccur:,e offered through the CAA. Forty-tvv ' o students were enroled In the course this year. Instructors taught them well, for they ail soloed. First to reach this stage was Ray Brashear, riaht, being congratulated by Instructor Frank Averril. Ground school work was required of all. 27 Flyke — the day when classes are for- gotten, the day when the Vikings trek to Irvine park, the day when the Vikings select a queen to rule them, the day when the Norse make merry. Fisid day for Long Beach Junior Col- lege is celebrated twice a year. The Order of Tong handles the balloting for Fylke Queen. Shown on the left are Audrey Forker, attendant, Gret- chen Pierce, queen; and Zetta Cram- er, attendant, for the fall Fylke. AMS president, Joe Deeble, and his cohort, Don Marsh, planned the fall field day. Sophomore class won the helmet given to the victors. Points were chalked up by winning field events, such as the sack race, six-man football game and water jousting. Mary Ledbetter sang a song to win the amateur contest. All the gai3ty was repeated at the spring Fylke. 28 During ths course of the year, any Collegian had an oppor- tunity to buy appetizers and articles at sales. Clubs sold ap- ples, candled and plain; cake, homemade and bakerymade; cream puffs, filled with cream and with custard. Dogs fared poorly when it came to bagging, however. Lost and founo articles went to the highest bidder as Fred Stafford pleaded for higher prices. 29 Student Government ' aV JMm Business of the Associated Student Body of Junior College is handled through the Cabi- net. Under the ASB constitution they are auth- orized to appropriate the money from ASB fees for use by the various College activities. They also direct the handling of these activi- ties, pass on the selection of editors for publi- cations, direct the beautlflcation program and handle elections. Cabinet members are elected semiannually from and by the Student Body. Representa- tives are elected from each of the major acti- vities. The representative of publications, however, Is selected by the Board of Publica- tions. President for the fall semester was Bill Dyer, caught at the telephone In the Cabinet office. All Cabinet business for the fall was his direct responsibility. LL-. On the right, Bill Buker passes out voting material. As vice president of the Student Body It was Buker ' s duty to officiate at ail elections of the ASB. Be ' ow, Virginia Wilson types the minutes of the previous Cabinet meeting. Secretary Wilson posted these In the glass bulletin board on bungalow 2. Bill Rockwell, treasurer, signs a few of the many requisitions for money that went through the office, during the semester. 32 Below, Jim Polley, representative of the Stu- dent Body.

Many of these had former experience in other official posts. Chief problenn facing the Spring Cabinet was the decrease of paid ASB fees. Money alloted to vari- ous organizations and activities had to be cut because of the lack of expected funds. This had to be done in a diplomatic manner worthy of the College executives. Continuation of the beautifica- tion program v as slowed down considerably by the depleted in- come. However, t he Spring offi- cials managed to add beauty to the campus. On the left Bill Buker, president of the Associated Student Body, caught while attending to his of- ficial duties. Bill Rockwell, vice president, approves the petition of an election candidate.

How- ever, an election in May for of- ficials for the coming College year added zest to the organiza- tion. Officers are usually elected for the whole year, but the trans- fer of Betty Eyber to UC in Jan- uary forced the women to select another executive. Posters are an easy method of keeping AWS members informed of the business of the group. They also make a ready reference sheet when one is looking for names of committee chairmen. Three of the many posters evident on the cam- pus are shown at the left. 37 Miss Mattie Paine, dean of women, guided the Associated Wo- men Students through all their activities of the past year. She was responsible, either directly or indirectly, for all the actions of the AWS. She directed the selection of the committee mem- bers to be awarded the AWS oin for service to the organiza- tion. Recipients of these pins were eligible to apply for mem- bership in the Althenai. This is the highest honor given by the AWS. Members are selected semiannually.

Coincident with improvement in the football team and gensral betterment of the campus, came decided ad- vancement in the Junior College band. New uniforms, members and instru- ments v orked in cooperation with tha band commission and director to pro- duce the desired results. Practice makes perfect in any unit. This was borne out by the results of the rehearsals. Clemit Hale, left, warms up his flute, while Clare Living- ston, below, takes time out for breath. Marching is included in the repertoire of the musicians. Necessary execution of perfect timing of turns, pivots and reversal was also the result of strenu- ous effort. Below is a section of the unit during their daily marching period on the football field. Baton twirlers were not exempt from practice. Joy Stewart on the left ex- hibits talents that added to the Impor- tance of the band. Lined up at the bottom are Bob Engle, Lurline Harris, Joy Stewart, Josephine Goodman and Clemit fHale, drum majorettes and majors of the band. Betty Eyber was absent.

Gay Alpine suspenders and color- ful Tyrolean peasant costumes were in evidence as Junior College dram- atists presented their fall play, Au- tum Crocus , in the rustic finished Little Theater. Under the direction of Miss Kathar- yn Kennedy, demure Barbara Bran- tingham and deep-voiced Robert Comthwaite were paired as the Eng- lish school teacher and the innkeeper who fell in love. Clemet Hale and Marion Stevens, accused of practicing free love , read Freud and discuss freely psy- chological phenomena such as sex and complexes.

Represented here are scenes fronn Trifles , It ' s Holly- wood , Heaven On Earth and Just Off Times Square . These dramas were in the fields of both tragedy and comedy. To the light Elinor Sizelove takes off makeup behind scenes. 54 Scoring another dramatic success in the pre- sentation ' of George Kelly ' s popular comedy, The Torchbearers , Miss Katharyn Kennedy and her drama majors rounded out another season of thespian triumphs. A-satire based on the fast-moving little the- atre, move nent, this stage play presented a novel situation by incorporating a play with- in a:. play, . The second act of The Torch- bearers- ' was acclaimed as the most hilarious n comedy effect ever produced on this cam-., pus. Joe-Schnelldorfer came home to find his love- y, but slightly flighty, little wife in a little theatre group. And to make things worse she was having a rehearsal in his home. The shock of seeing his v ife, Barbara Brantingham, at- tempting to play the part of a gum-chewing other woman proved to be too much for him, so he fainted. In the second act every thing went wrong ' with the groups play on the opening night. Janis Kennedy, the director of the play with- in the play was undaunted, however, furnish- ing an excuse for each of her protege ' s short- comings.

Whenever there was a dance, play or forum, signs, made by the Ad department, announced these facts to the Student Body. Another method of adver- tising was employed by the use of lawn letters. Inci- dental to the work done was the crying need for water to wash the paint brushes. 57 Literary efforts of Jun- ior College students are annually gathered to- gether In the form of a nnagazine — Edda.

More ambition than money is evidenced on the left. ■{ ' %$ 59 % M Long Beach Junior L-ollege i ' ; well-known in debating rircles.

The Vikings also had a good team. LBJC 12 Alumni All-S+ars Introducing the 1939 Viking football unit to the College, Coaches Irvine Phillips and Orian Landreth showed the Norse followers and the Alumni a closed defense and an unpolished offense. The graduates made one first down all evening. Substitutes trot- ted on and off the field in droves as the Collegians toyed with their opponents. LBJC 13 Fullerton Exploding an effective pass attack at the Fullerton Bulldogs, Long Beach traveled to score on the fifth play of the game. Les Billinger was the pivot man on the play that marked the initial Nordic score in con- ference competition. Johnny Seedborg spun the football 50 yards downfield, hit- ting Cliff Berryman for the final tally in the fourth period. LBJC 18 Bakersfield 7 Bakersfield came 100 miles to become the first conference team to be tumbled by the Vikings. After the Renegades had cap- tured a 7-6 halftime lead, the Norse moved on the ground in the latter periods to win going away. Seedborg and Billinger repeat- ed their Fullerton act by leading the trips into touchdown territory. LBJC 14 Ventura 6 Long Beach was established as a second half machine as the Pirates pushed them all over the field and back again in a scoreless first half. Seedborg hurdled into the headlines and into the division scoring lead with two counters late in the game. LBJC Glendale Slippery footing and the Glendale Vaqueros combined to halt the Viking victory string. The teams played conservative football when passes failed to hit. The closest the favorites came to dropping their rivals was in the second quarter when a fumbled punt and a series of line plunges found them edg- ing the nine yard line. LBJC 12 California Frosh 14 Invited north. Long Beach bumped against the Bearbabes at Berkeley to lose bv the point-after-touchdown margin. The fresh- men had been rated to win more easily. The defeat only added prestige to the Nor- dic record. It was November 4 and the newspapers already had begun to build the losers as the outstanding Junior College team in the state. Jackie Cooper rambled effectively and Bob McKeever plunged just as effectively to make the afternoon inter- esting. 64 Santa Ana 13 LBJC Santa Ana devoted most of the four quar- ters of football to slapping down passes and burying bailpackers, taking out enough time to tally twice themselves. The favored and powerful Viking forwards stood up against a stronger line and that meant the ball game. The Norse drove to the two yard stripe early, but they never came close again. Billed outside the conference loop, the encounter still left Long Beach as the Western Division leaders. LBJC 13 L.A. city college 13 Compton won the championship when the Vikes and Cubs battled to a draw. The tie smothered any Los Angeles hopes for the league title and eventually proved the dif- ference between first and second place for the Vikings. The game was wild and wound up in a duel between Cub Lloyd hHoisch and Nordic hHoward HHunt for individual brilliancy. Hunt scampered 35 yards for the final score in the third period. LBJC 19 Santa Monica 13 Thanksgiving Day became a Norse cele- bration when Santa Monica visited Poly ' s Burcham Field and clashed with the reju- venated Beach team. Santa Monica saw Johnny Seedborq throwing footballs and Russ Nowling catching footballs. The com- bination clicked for the winning touchdown after the visitors had stepped into a short lead. Gene Parilla lofted the extra point to personally step Into the scoring column. The loser ' s backfleld was fast and hard to catch but Viking tacklers stopped them often enough to record the wild win. Compton 12 LBJC 6 Compton scored a touchdown, Compton made the extra point, Compton booted a field goal and Compton nailed a Norse runner for a safety. There wasn ' t any other ways to score so Compton stopped. They stopped the Viking offensive and kept the game going the Tartar way for the biggest oart of four quarters. The contest played on Fullerton ' s neutral field saw the local championship bid pushed aside.

Irvine Phillips — 1939 was Phillips ' second year at the College. In that time his team moved from an outfit that trotted out Friday nights to take a regular beating to a team that waited until the Compton finale to be edged away from the cham- pionship. Orian Landreth — Landreth transfered from the University of Arizona to assume a co- coaching post with the Vikings. Landreth came in and so did a lot of football players. A local man, his connections were impor- tant to the Norse titular bid. Harper Wren — He tutored the reserves and the benchmen, showed the varsity how the conference teams ran through field maneuvers. Wren came in with the Phillips ' regime and was Instrumental in the big lump of the Nordics toward the divis- ional top. 66 Berryman Quarterback Nowling End 1939 was a year of innova- tions for the Long Beach football representatives. The Vikings tried something new. They tried a co-coaching arrangement with Irvine Phil- lips and Orian Landreth col- labora ting in grid instruction. It was Phillips ' second year; he knew the old players, he was aware of the Viking set- up, and he remembered the teams that had pushed his team off the field back into the locker rooms during the preceding year. Landreth, popular locally, came with new ideas and was followed by some of the players he had schooled as preps. The co-coaches worked rather well enough to- gether to give the Junior College a second place football team. The Vikings tried scoring more touchdowns than their opponents. For years they had been the team that everybody else walked on. Last season it was different. They did a little walking themselves. Even ' -some ' +rafmp- Billingef Fullback Kelley Tackle ling. They trampled so much that they al- most won the championship which was a thing pretty new, itself. Johnny Seedborg, the towhead halfback who topped the lea- gues scoring, Bill Hose, rugged guard, and Al Schlect, standout tackle, were Norse choices on the All-Conference lineup.

Francis Garland, a long dusky Cub, was damaging with his i 7 points. The win was the first in a string of ten for the An- gelenos.

Behind, 24-22 at halftime, the winners proceeded to crowd the net with basketballs in the latter stages to insure the win. Thirty-one personal fouls were called as the Vikings and irate players battled up and down the floor. Long Beach 33 Glendale 28 Glendale invaded Long Beach and for the first time since the season ' s inaugural the other team didn ' t win. The Vikings, paced by R. L.

Smooth racing tracks are necessary for speedy ath- letes. Here Coach Irvine Phillips and a squad man scrape the runway to an even pattern. 74 Climaxing the best season in Viking history, Long Beach wound up the year as Western Conference dual meet co- champions with Los Angeles City College and Compton. The Norsemen gained the tie by nosing out Compton while losing to the Cubs. The Tarters knocked over Los Angeles to throw the race into a deadlock among the three teams with one loss each. Mel Griffin forgot about his championship teams of other Viking years; he forgot about his all conference perform- ers; he forgot about everything except a group of ball players who represented him and Long Beach during the 1940 season, hie said, rather simply, It was the best team I ever had. This best team lost only to Compton in circuit play. The Tarters beat the Vikings twice, both by ne run margins. These losses shoved the Norse into a t ' tular tie with the Tarters, both clubs closing the year with e pair of setbacks. George Boal, Oren Robinson and Billy Salveson combined to befuddle opposing batsmen rather consistently durln-g a 17 game stretch.

Junior College golfers came from their conference and match play to find that they had been defeated only by Stanford University. When the season ' s points were tallied, Long Beach lacked 1-2 point of a perfect record. Champion player of this year ' s team was Jackson Bradley. During the course of his playing he defeated the Pacific Coast intercollegiate champion, Frank Newall of UCLA. Added interest in the team came when Lowell Robins won the southern California golfing championship. in the southern California golf tournament at Lakewood, the Long Beach swingers placed first with a margin of 55 strokes.

These departments are under the direc- tion of managers who have shown ability in the sport and have the needed coach- ing requisites. Their chief function Is the organizing of women into teams and oreparlng them for tournaments which .=ire held several times during the sem- ester. Four officers, three representatives from the bcal hlgj-i schools and tho nine department heads compose the club ' s cabinet. In September, Maxine Robertson was elected president for the first semester with vice president, Marion Schmitt; secretary, Helen Carson; and treasured, Mary McGuire aiding her duties. After her retirement and graduation in February, Marion Schmitt be- came president for the second term with Lucy Moorefield, vice presi- dent; Georene Melton, secretary and Vivian Lang, treasurer. Miss Clarinn Llewellyn Mrs. Roberta Shoemaker 79 Practice at the East Branch Y gave women of the WAA an opportunity to work out offensive and de- fensive plays. Marian Carey Tennis manager I Sharing the limelight with basketball during the Fall semester, and for the first time in several years surpassing it in popularity, was tennis. After three weeks of active practice during Oc- tober, intramural games were begun on the 3 I . It was anticipated that by holding these contests a keener interest in the sport would ensue. And those who shared this view were not disap- pointed when more women than ever before took up their racquets and became active mem- bers in the netter ' s department. Catherine Shuster was selected manager of the Viqueens and on November 16 four singles and two doubles were s ent to m eet a group of Tar- September, back to college and basketball, as usual, the initial sport of the Women ' s Athletic Association ' s activities. Under the management of Marjorie Bark- ley, three teams were chosen, and practice took place every Tuesday from 3:30 until 5:30 at the East Branch Y First game of the season was played with and lost to Fullerton Junior College. Other tournaments wiih Compton ' s junior college and Santa Ana junior college added to th.o group ' s list of stiff competitors. When the entire southern section of WAA, •.vhich includes Long Beach, Santa Ana, Compton, Fu ' lerton and Oceaside, met in their annual playday, the first string team was sent to compete against the various schools.

Members of Tjene Piger, Kassai, Mahabharata, Avestan Madha, Coed Y, WAA, Commerce, Out of Towners and Spanish club participated. Twice a week contests were held after classes with the winners playing the winners and the losers opposing the losers. Tjene Piger member, Gale Hartley watches her shot. Km Helen Carson , Hockey Captain Second in WAA contests for the first semester was hockey, which proved to be one of the most popular sports, lasting from November to February with a full calendar of activities throughout. Poly was the first opponent, which the women met on their homefleld. The score was 1-0 In favor of the high school. On March 8 a team was sent by these associations to Griffith park where member, representing most of southern California ' s junior colleges, played one another. All of these schools belong to the National Amateur Hockey Federation, and only send their best teams to a playday of this type. They lost to US 1-0, and to UCLA 3-1. They tied with LACC I -I. 81 Donna C. ' .on throws one down the line. A surprise to mennbers of the WAA, this year was the increasingly popular game of bowling which was add- ed to the departments of the association and which was scheduled each Friday from 3:30 until 5:30 at a local alley. Mounting interest soon appeared after the sport was introduced to the women until by the end of May more than twenty active members were participating. Jean Goddard was put in charge of bowling and ar- ranged contests among the girls. Regular players during the season were: Donna and Helen Carson, Mar- 1 ion Schmitt, Betty Jane Lewis, Bea Wagner, and Kathleen Wilson. Jean Goddard Bowling manager Instructions increased the ability of the women bowlers. Women arc releasing their arrows hers straddle the line before Irene Cathcart Archery manager Archery, a sport that dates back to the Stone Age and is mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament has been found to be one of the most popular of modern sports by women of the WAA this past semes- ter. Under the management of Georgene Melton, 30 women took up their bows and arrows around March I. Most of these girls were veteran archers who had taken at least one class, previous to their enrolment into this department. Special Shoots were scheduled under the instruc- tion of Mrs. Roberta Shoemaker, athletic adviser, once each week after classes. An archery group makes ready. 82 Winding up the season, baseball started the first of April and was played until the first of June. Betty Jane Lewis, ver- satile star of the Women ' s Athletic As- sociation, became manager of the dia- mond and planner in all of the activities. Most Importan+ event on the sport ' s cal- endar was the April high school Playday v hlch was held this year on the Junior College campus and at which time the Long Beach women composed teams against mixed groups representing Excel- sior, Wilson, Poly, Jordan and Downey. A team was sent to the South Pasadena Playday, on May 4, and on May I I wom- en sent to the annual Occidental Playday. An Interminqling of all the teams rep- resented at Occidental took place which meant that approximately two girls from all of the Junior Colleges who sent teams would band together forming one team. At the end of the semester only seven women were eligible for awards and were: HHelen Carson, regular catcher; Betty Jean Lewis, permanent pitcher; Lilly Lee, first base; Betty Probst, second base; Mary Alviso, third base; Jean Goddard, center field; Wanda Lefner, right field. All seven re- ceived the traditional V pins offered each year by the associa- tion. Maryann Waltz acted as captain of the team. UkUJUli ii);!.

Sugges- tions for changes and further amendments from the Student Body are welcomed by the AWS In its desire to form a worthwhile Women ' s Code. (With amendments sug- gested at the Women ' s Executive Conference on April 10, 1940.) As a woman student of the Long Beach Junior College, I shall serve the College to the best of my ability; taking an active interest in furthering, improving and participating as far as possible in all affairs which the Student Body sponsors. I shall make it my responsibility to continue the worthy traditions already established and to en- deavor to inaugurate new and worthwhile ac- tivities as the opportunity presents itself. I will endeavor to attain a high level in my academic achievments, and maintain the finest qualities of character, citizenship and culture in the class- room and on the campus. I feel that courtesy, both to Instructors and to fellow students, and consideration for the rights, property and feel- ings of others are essential to the success of our organization. I shall try to be tolerant and open- minded. With pride in the traditions and achievements of the Junior College, I shall strive to maintain high standards, so that I shall always be an asset to my College. y$mimmm mmmii0i Dr. John L. The Skipper Lounsbury guides both the administrative and community activities on the Junior College campus. tHis other activities include the teaching of Sociology 10, acting as honored guest at most College functions and pervading the campus with an air of friendliness. 148 Mary Corcoran, Editor of Saga ' 40 Jim Stivers filled the post of business man- ager for Saga ' 40. More than money mat- ters took up his time. Manager Stivers spent hours arranging for pictures and making important decisions for the better- ment of the book. 149 Work as adviser to a yearbook was a new type of job that confronted Martin B. Far- reil this year. He qualified for the job through his knowledge of art work and lay- outs. Newly created office of financial adviser to Saga was filled by Dr. Simon Kinsman. Dr. Kinsman kept tabs on all money and signed the needed requisitions. 150 i ' ;- Credit for the division pages and other artistic shots goes to Don Sothern. Soth- ern ' s efforts are partially responsible for the clearness and typical representation of campus life of the 1940 cuts . Much of the clear, precise photography in this year ' s annual is the work of Bill Michael. He and his camera came through to produce many of the best shots that were used. 151 Donald Kennedy and Jane Reid collabor- ated on the athletic section of the annual. Kennedy spent most of his time with men ' s sports, while Miss Reid concentrated on WAA. Arthur Scott and Franklyn , Brown han- dled much of the action shots in the book. The band section Is almost completely Scott ' s work. Brown spent much of his time, on athletics. Many photographs in Saga are the work of J. Gordon Miller. His artistic effects are especially notable. Glenn Arbogast planned all layouts and pictures for the Student Government divi- sion. He also collaborated with the editor in the arrangement of the winners of the Viking award. Title page, foreword page and cover are the work of Ruth Stoser. Miss Stoser made the drawings on rough board with a black crayon to get the desired effects. Suzanne Lore contributed her bit by ar- ranging many of the layouts in the Campus Life section. Advertising was handled by Jack Mann, right, and Verne Nelson, above. They col- lected contracts, arranged layouts and through this helped finance Saga. Innova- tion in the advertising section may be noted in the cartoons and caricature as worked out by these salesmen and by Ed Norrls, 153 UIhtchTheBirbie YE HOSE STUDIO 5D PIKE AVE PH. 667-20 154 I fro a cow to CO ' OP.
