Through- out that entire time, nine faculty members have been with the school during its ups and downs, and have seen it Florence Carpenter English Instructor grow from a building on the Wilson campus to our present- day college. Besides our Lakewood cam- -¥j pus, vocational students train, using the modern facilities of Glee Duncan Head, Business Department © ae : te Eleanor Hiatt Head, English Department Katharyn Kennedy Drama and Speech Instructor the Business and Technology Division, and adult students may attend classes at any one of nine locations in the Long Beach area. We are fortunate, for not only do we have a beautiful z 2 3 Erica Weary English Instructor campus and a fine student body, but we have a wonder- ful group of faculty members. To these, and especially to the nine “silver anniversary” fac- ulty members, the 1953 SAGA is dedicated.

It has grown to be the second largest junior college in America, in spite of a depression, earthquake, and war. Our multi-million - dollar Lakewood Liberal Arts campus is one of the best-equipped and most beautiful of its kind in the country. In 1935 we moved to our present site. By 1937 we had three buildings; the English Building, two Science Build- ings, and twelve bungalows. Our campus has been steadily growing and construction on our Audi- torium is about to begin. City College has been host to many conventions this year, and the comment always is, ““What a beau- tiful school.” Ole is going to take us on a tour of the campus, so let’s be on our way. Charles S. Andrews 1911-1953 A good sfriend of all at City College was lost with the passing of Dean Andrews in January. He was Associate Dean of Long Beach City College in charge of curriculum. In the past he sponsored Thane and the A.M.S. and was recognized as a big influence in developing men’s service activities. He entered the Long Beach school system in September, 1943, and came to City College in September, 1948, after taking a leave of absence in 1947-48 to write a book, “Always Come September.” A memorial scholarship fund is being set up by the student body as a small way of honoring him.

For days new students waited in long lines to stand in more lines for counseling, seat checks, and student body cards. Finally, with the help of the many coun- selors, office workers, and Kassai girls, regis- tration was completed and classes began. ) } } j i REGISTRATION SPRING Spring registration began as the last days of the finals dwindled down. Many old students left school and new students came in their place. With a new system, registration was a smooth, well-organized process w ith only one short line for the old students to pre-register. New students registered in the Gym as before.

To become a mem- ber of Kassai, it is necessary to give at least 50 hours of service to the school in one semester and to maintain a “C” average. Kassai has many sales during the year to earn money for welfare organizations and scholarships. Some of the club activities are: coffee sales, ushering at commencement, and ushering and serving at conventions and banquets on campus, and a semi-annual Mother-Daughter Banquet.

Booth Advisor Robert Craver Sports VIKING Sally Erickson News Winning the University of Minnesota As- sociated Collegiate Press All-American honor rating for the Fall of 1952 highlighted the year for the Viking staff. “Anybody want to go to Poly?” became the pass word of the year as the City Col- lege Viking switched from a commercial print shop in Lakewood to the print shop at Poly High School for production of the Viking. Stepped up deadlines and delivery of copy to Poly printers were the worry wart prob- lems that faced the Viking. Since the Poly print shop could print only four pages a week, a printing plan was set up to give City College readers an eight page paper at least seven times a semester. On alternate weeks the outside pages of the Viking, news | and sports, were set up at the Lakewood | News Times; the four inside pages of the Viking, the feature and club pages, were set — up at Poly. On Friday morning 2000 in- side pages from Poly were folded and stuf- | fed into the folded outside pages from Lake- ' wood. On other weeks City College Viking | readers received a four pager printed solely at Poly. On the lighter side of the year’s activities, the Viking staff played host in January and June at the traditional Publications banquet. | The traditional Inkbowl game was played in January between the Viking and Saga. The Saga staffers downed the Viking to win the trophy for the fourth consecutive semester. High School Journalism day was hosted by the Beta Phi Gamma, honorary journ- alism fraternity, and the Viking staff. Stu- dents from nearby high schools were shown the journalism setup at City College. Agiah? ae ee . = � = === sat {0 ete enc ewuns Base owen see wee The staff “stuffing” papers. Printing Room.

The first task facing an editor is to get a working staff organized. Then the staff chooses a theme for the book. A dummy must be made, bids submitted and accepted, cabinet approves a budget and the staff must stay within this budget. Cover designs made, sales campaign started, pictures taken and printed, deadlines set, copy written, pages pasted up, sent to the printers ... and eventually a book is made. Aside from this, there are two other projects for the Saga staff: they are; editing the student directory, and helping the Repres- entative of Publications in the publication of the student handbook. The staff was good this year. There was also fine help outside the staff. Miss Bonar on o activities; Mrs. Hollis on faculty; Mrs. Sch- jnd jeldrup with sales; Mrs. Reed with finances, ° | | payment and countless others. Dean Landreth, of ve ‘ a Jae course, was a big help with all our problems. : Most of all, Mr. Dawson, our advisor, deserves a hearty thanks. Under his guidance, the book took shape, problems were smoothed out, and jangled nerves soothed. To a wonderful spon- sor, the Saga staff says, “Thanks, You’re Obs a ) Talking it over.

It is a program designed for bettering the home and a fuller participation in the life of a family group based on increased knowledge and skill. Persons taking this interesting and most useful program are able to cope with family responsibilities intelligently. Some of the courses important in Family Life Education include the following: Mar- riage and the Family; Food and Nutrition (It takes up meal planning, marketing, costs of food, evaluation of food advertising, and much more); and Child Development (Understand- ing and guiding the development of children from birth to adolescence, including physical, mental, and social factors.)

LIFE SCIENCE LIFE SCIENCE FACULTY Dr. Ethel West Department Head Not Pictured— Miss Mildred Pitt Mr. Edward Wheatifill (eh EE 9 Oe eH 1% ee ae aerator nama ie ta iti iijiaatia iii Mr. Melvin Griffin Mr. Lloyd Hall The Life Science division of Long Beach City College includes the courses of Anatomy, Biology, Hygiene, Bac- teriology, Physiology, and Botany. Anatomy concerns - structure of human body with health and efficiency. Biology deals with the study of plants and animals as to function and structure. Botany is study of plants. Bac- teriology introduces means of disinfection; preparation of culture media. The laboratory exercises include an introduction to bacteriological technique. Physiology Mr. Clifford Wright is a general course to acquaint the students with facts concerning parts of the body; such as nerve, circulation, and respiration. Hygiene is study of health and enjoy- ment in everyday living. Zoology is introduction to animal biology. All the faculty included in this page are life science techers, with the exception of Mr. Wheatfill who teaches Geology and Astronomy in the Physical Science depart- ment, but is located in the Life Science building. LIFE SCIENCES Mr. Hall's Zoology department is pri- marily concerned with instructing Pre- Med and Dental students. The students study animal structure and do a large amount of dissection. Fatstuff and The Kid, the two friendly chipmunks on the campus, made their home in the Life Science Building. From their comfortable glass enclosed cage in the hall they greet the students as they go by. They are officially designated as Santa Cruz chipmunks and are distinguished by four stripes on their back and several on their head. Our chipmunks were caught last summer and placed in their new home in September. Their natural home is among the redwoods but our two chip- munks are very happy to be with us. The hot house was built as part of the Life Science Building. It extends about thirty feet from the south side of the building. It is very well equipped with the best of modern facilities. Although full use has not been made of it this year, due to the absence of a botany instructor, many of the students used it for raising plants. 45 6) RED CROSS 4 Beach City College works closely with the : sine ‘ National American Red Cross.

(HH Si a —— MUSIC FACULTY I 48 Mr. Royal Stanton Throughout the entire year, music or- ganizations on campus furnish a valu- able service to the college. They are one of the most outstanding departments on campus in which all interested may take part. The many organizations open to Viking gtudents include the Madrigal Singers, the College Choir, Vocal Ensemble, the College Orchestra, and Viking Band. The Choir and singing groups hold several music festivals and perform for many programs during the year. Our Viking Band appears at all football games, rallies, assemblies and other occasions. Mr. Kenneth Carter Mr. Lester DeNoyelles Department Head Dr. Gerald Strang Each year band and rally awards are presented to prominent members of the band. A block letter “L”’ inscribed “Band” is awarded, and to the two year partici- pants, a pin is given. Flag girls, song leaders, majorettes and yell leaders are also awarded block letter “L’s” with ap- propriate insignias. Students interested in essentials, har- mony, theory, and appreciation are of- fered a large variety of courses with very fine instructors. Even piano lessons are offered to students here, in one of the best and most well-equipped modern buildings found anywhere in the U.S. Miss Edith M. Hitchcock The LBCC orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Gerald Strang, plays various concerts in the fall, the two most important being the “Pops” concert and the Christmas concert. This year the choir and orchestra, in a combined concert gave the Magnificat in G, by Pachelbel, played for the first time anywhere in Southern California. The orchestra was honored to be the one picked for the world premier of Ernst Krének’s new composition. The Spring brings two big occasions for the or- chestra. From this group, several are picked for the Junior College Festival Orchestra. Players are chosen from all parts of Southern California, and it is quite an honor to be a member. City College orchestra completes its year by play- ing at Commencement.

Some of the scripts used are written by students in the writ- ing class and production is done by the students. Tours are taken to modern Television studios and the class visits Television City in Hollywood each semester for a tour and special telecast. Facilities for practice in television production have just been com- pleted and students get practice using dummy cameras, operating controls, directing and acting before TV cameras. John Wymore is president and Kay Warner is secretary.

They play and drill at the foot- ball games, rallies, homecoming parade, basket- ball games, and strut in parades under the twirling baton of Don McCampbell. Under the capable direction of Lester C. DeNoyelles, they smartly marched themselves into prominence at Pasadena in the Junior Rose Bowl Parade by winning for the third time, thus gaining possession of, the Lyon’s Trophy. This trophy is given to the out- standing Junior College Band competing in this event. The band annually plays for the Elks Club, various groups on call, and in the Spring visits eight different high schools. In May the band marches in the annual Maytime Review in National City. Last Spring the band took first place in its division, and drum major, Don McCampbell won first place over 66 other drum majors and majorettes from the entire state. The year is concluded by a banquet when the outstanding member of the band, a major- ette, flag girl, and a song girl, are awarded trophies. They are chosen by popular vote of the band members.

In the center is Barbara Taylor, Miss Pencil, the vampire. Little Theatre lights went on Tuesday and Thursday nights, March 24 and 26 for three one-act plays staged by the City College dramatics class under the direc- tion of Miss Katharyn Kennedy, drama- tics instructor. “Nobody Sleeps”, “Spirals” and “Pot- boiler” were the productions scheduled for the two night stand. “Nobody Sleeps” is a comedy story fea- turing a burglar and the family he meets when he burgles a house. “Spirals” is set in a balcony restaurant in Havana. It’s the type of play that makes the spec- tator want to jump up and yell advice to the characters in the play; to tell them things which they don’t know and never will know. “Potboiler” is a farce which sets a play within a play. The play is a perfect example of how not to write a play. Central staging was used. All the work was done without curtains. Blackouts were used for change of scene. The dramatics class takes up every aspect of play production. Students in the class handle properties, lighting, costuming and make up. —— WOMEN’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION fa ity ia = “oe Site prety oe or ade, 74 WOMEN’S PHYSICAL EDUCATION | The Women’s Physical Education department was headed by Mrs. Rose Schjelderup.

Miller [eet oa O 89 90 BASKETBALL Championships are nothing new to Church. While at Poly High School, he coached 10 “B” basketball squads, ALL of which won titles, and 12 varsity teams, of which 8 won league titles. Three teams won the C.I.F. championships, and another went to the finals in his last four years there. The 1942 team was the last Long Beach team to win that title. In 1942 Church left Poly to enter the Marine Corps, and attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. At the San Diego base, he coached three service teams to the incredible record of 90 wins and only 2 losses while enroute to several service championships. During his tenure with the Marine Corps, Church coached such fabulous stars as Joe Fulks, Floyd Volker, Bill Closs, Andy Phillips, Ted Gossard, and Kenny Sailors. Dur- ing his high school and college coaching career, Church has sent 12 players into the professional ranks ; and several to each of the PCC schools. Charlie Church first came to LBCC as a swimming coach while he divided his coaching duties between Charlie Church Coach LBCC and Wilson High School. He produced two State championship swimming teams. While at Poly he found time to guide the golf team to a title. He finally arrived at Long Beach City College as basket- ball coach in 1948, and took his first team to the finals of the Western States Regional tournament. A native of Idaho, Church is a graduate of Spring- field College, Springfield, Massachusetts. He played several years in AAU circles on the West Coast. When not grooming championship contenders, he relaxes with his hobbies, hunting and fishing. After finishing his fifth year at the helm of the Vikings’ basketball armada, Coach Charlie Church steered his cagers to a second consecutive Metropoli- tan Conference championship. His first championship was by a largely inexperienced squad which came out with a record of 12-won-and-2-lost. His second was won by an experienced team, even though he had only two returning lettermen. They finished with a perfect conference slate of 14-won-and-0-lost. Having won the Metropolitan Conference Title last year, the Long Beach City College Viking cagers made a return bout and won the title a second time, going through their league season without a defeat. With Clarence Smith and Marvin Sippel, the only returning lettermen from last year, the squad. was rounded out by new faces. Some of these new faces were such prep stars as Bob Blake, All-CIF player from Poly; Tom Sutherland, star from Wilson; Frank Krause, a Poly stalwart; and Bob Cook and John Miller from Jordan. From the services came Jerry Mitchell, former star from Excelsior; Curtis Guss, performer for the paratroopers; and Bob Brandts, who dropped early in the season. Rounding out the squad were Jim O’Brien, a sophomore from Wilson; John DeRitter, former star from New York; Doug Daudell, player from Poly and Brown Military Academy. Com- ing out the second semester were Art Henriksen, from Oregon State and former AIl-CIF from Poly; and Arnold Schroeder, performer at Wilson. The Vikes started out slow at the beginning of the season, but they improved rapidly and turned out to be one of the top teams in the state. At the end of their Marvin Sippel Co-Captain BASKETBALL pre-league season they finished with a record of 17 wins and 5 losses. This included games with three service teams and 14 college teams. The Vikes took third place in the Chaffee Tournament and first place in the Consolation Championship at the Modesto Tourney. Throughout their conference games Long Beach went undefeated with an incredible record of 14 wins and 0 losses. This was accomplished by no other team in the state. Harbor was the only team who almost upset the Vikes with a score of 51 to 49. This was the closest that any league team came to defeating the City College hoopsters. Upon entering the State Tournament the Vikings were knocked off by the state champions, College of the Sequoias in a high scoring game, 93 to 84. Although the Vikings did not make the state finals, their season should not be considered an unsuccessful one. With a season record of 31 wins and 6 losses, the Viking cagers ended a very impressive and successful season by establishing a new school mark with 17 consecu- tive wins. Clarence Smith Co-Captain 91 BOB BLAKE 6'2”, 170 lbs., Freshman: Rated a top prep prospect last year, Bob proved his ability this year in junior college competition. Being a very versatile player, he occupied all the three positions at different times throughout the year. He was one of the team’s leading scorers and. rebounders.

While at Poly he earned such honors as AIlI-CIF, All-City, and a player on the Long Beach: All-Tourney Team. Big Art also has a wife and family to support. Art Henricksen and Bob Blake fight for rebound. Marvin Sippel backs ’em up. JERRY MITCHELL 61”, 160 lbs., Freshman: Jerry is a veteran of ser- vice competition being stationed at Hill Field in Utah. Before going into the service he played at Excelsior High and was a letterman both in basketball and base- ball. “Mitch” is an all-round player, being a good shooter, rebounder, and floorman. Despite the handi- cap of a trick knee, he was one of the team’s best re- bounders. Also, he was one of the Metro-League’s leading scorers.

However, while on the. squad he developed into an adept courtman and into one of the team’s leading scorers. While attend- ing Wilson he played some basketball. Some of Jim’s other activities on the campus include being Representative of Athletics and an officer in Sup- porters Club. CLARENCE SMITH 6’, 175 lbs., Sophomore: Another returning letterman, “Smitty” was one of the most ver- satile and valuable players on the squad.

While at LBCC Clarence was voted the “Most Promising Freshman” and the “Most Inspira- tional Player.” He was a very steady and smooth hoopman. He left a big gap for Coach Charlie Church to fill when he left after the first semester. CURTIS GUSS 59”, 160 lbs., Freshman: Guss is a good team play- er with a good eye and lots of hustle and speed. He played his prep ball in Minnesota and during his stay in the paratroopers.

With this championship, third in school history, and the second in four years under Coach Joe Hicks — the Vikings won permanent possession of the magni- ficent Azusa Trophy. Although Hicks has lettermen at catcher, first, second, short stop, and two outfield spots, plus three veteran pitchers, his freshman talent is his pride and joy. Last year’s prep aces have taken over every infield spot but catcher and all but center field in the outer gardens. Three of the best pitchers are freshmen. In Hicks’ first year with the Vikings, 1950, they captured the Azusa crown and finished second in con- ference play to a powerful Pasadena Bulldog team. The following season the Vikings copped the Metro- politan Conference title. Last season, after battling neck and neck with Bakersfield, Long Beach dropped two key games in the last week of conference play and had to settle for third place in final standings. A firm believer in the idea that baseball players should finish school before they try out for profes- sional teams, Hicks has encouraged his team-members to finish their college educations. Among former Viking greats who have gone on to star at U.C.L.A., U.S.C. and elsewhere are Buddy Bachtelle, Larry McMullen, Verlyn Crook — and several other Hicks- coached lads who have a bright future ahead of them in baseball. Hicks himself is no stranger to professional ball. He was under contract to the St. Louis Brown, as a pitcher and catcher, after his graduation from U.C.L.A. With the U.C.L.A. Bruins, Joe was a star pitcher in his senior year and later served as an assistant coach while doing graduate work. He first came to the LBCC campus in the fall of 1949 as assistant football coach, and took over his head baseball coaching duties the following spring.

Tom Ferreira Mrs. Ella Lewis awarding Nan Davidson her Viking Award. VIKING AWARDS A highlight of the ASB Prom, which closes each semester, is the announcement of the Viking Award winners. Twenty Viking Awards are given in the course of the year. Ten may be given each semester, with five going to women and five to men. All ten of the awards allotted to the Fall semester do not necessarily have to be given that semester, but may be held over until the Spring semester. Such is the case of the five men’s awards last Fall. Three awards were given, which leaves a possible seven to be given in the Spring semester. The Viking Award committee, appointed by the ASB Cabinet, meets and considers the qualifications of the applicants. The committee is composed of students and faculty members. An applicant may be nominated by any recognized ASB organization, by any faculty member or administrator, or by the ASB cabinet. The identities of the winners are kept secret until VIKING AWARDS the night of the ASB Prom, when Mrs. Ella C. Lewis announces them. The Fall semester winners were Ed Boutwell, Nan Davidson, Tom Ferreira, Barbara Friendspn, Sara Lynn, Marvin Sippel, Mildred Speight and Phyllis Tarre. We of the Saga staff regret that we are unable to list the names of the Spring winners. All of the Fall winners had good grade averages, six of them being members of Alpha Gamma Sigma, national scholastic fraternity. Their activities in- cluded almost everything offered at City College. Four of the winners had served on the ASB Cabinet. All the women winners were active in AWS and four of them belonged to Kassai, the women’s service club. Two of them had served as class officers. Two be- longed to both the Viking band and the orchestra. Two of the men winners belonged to Thane, the men’s service club, and two of them had been officers of AMS. Three of the winners had served with the campus publications; Saga and the Viking. Their other individual activities are too numerous to mention. 117 118 AWS AWARDS FIVE J Each semester at the AWS banquet the various AWS awards are given. Each girl who has given thirty hours of service the preceeding semester re- ceives a certificate of honor. Girls who have given thirty service hours for each of two semesters receive plain AWS pins. One-jewel pins go to ten outstanding members of the advisory and executive boards. The highest award, the Five-Jewel Pin, is given to ten girls for outstanding service to the school, not neces- sarily in AWS. At the close of the fall semester, the five-jewel award was given to Sara Lynn, AWS First Vice- President; Sonia Shafto, AWS Party and Program Chairman; Nan Davidson, AWS President; Helen Vidovich, Ways and Means Chairman; Phyllis Tarre, ASB Secretary; Mildred Speight, WAA President; Barbara Friendson, Saga Editor; Ann Jackson, Com- munity Service Chairman; Anita Barker, ASB Rep- EWEL | JEWEL PIN resentative of Arts; and Fredi Thorndike, ASB Treasurer. The one-jewel award was presented to ten girls who had served on the AWS advisory and executive boards. They were Diane Jones, Recording Secretary, Marilyn Westall, Office Service Committee chairman; Mary Virginia Denton, Refreshment Committee co- chairman; Nancy Kealy, Courtesy Committee chair- man; Sarah Sellers, Refreshment Committee co-chair- man; Marilyn Robinson, Hostess Committee chair- man; Joan Meade, Art Committee chairman; Barbara Vaughn, Decoration Committee chairman; Sue Owen, Second Vice-President; and Maureen Leach, Treasur- er. Since the awards are given at the close of each semester, we are unable to give the names of the spring semester winners. a eh te ee W bi = [i ae Koy ra r 4 Ww ish = a | F Throughout the spring semes- ter a number of high school teas are given, hosting representatives from eight high schools from Long Beach and nearby areas. These teas are primarily used for public relations by showing the well-rounded activities and mar- velous building facilities on our campus. As well as serving a definite purpose, these events are enjoyed by all and much fun goes along with the hard work on preparations. AWS TEAS The first event on the A.W.S. Calen- dar is a tea honoring the new Fresh- men women. The purpose of this tea is to acquaint first-semester women with the organization and activities of the largest and most active group on campus, A.W.S. This Freshman Tea also serves as a get-acquainted party for old and new alike. 121 JOINT PRESENTS FALL The five women’s social clubs Entre Nous, Mahabharata, Ra- mayana, Tammuz, and TNT, be- gan the fall rush season with their joint tea. In addition, each club had it’s own individual teas. Dasahara, which was chartered during the semester, had it’s own informal rush tea. As a climax to the rushing sea- son, the five women’s social clubs presented their new members to the parents, faculty, and student body at Joint Presents. The high- light of the evening was the an- nouncement of the club’s candi- dates for Homecoming Queen. iy CO-REC Co-educational Recreation, or Co-Rec, nights were introduced into the activities calendar in the Spring of 1952. Since then they have become one of the most popular diversions offered at City College. The entire women’s gym is turned over to recrea- tional activities. In the Ortho room, card-playing is offered . . . ping pong in the classroom. In the gym itself, volleyball and badminton are the attractions. The dance studio features dancing to popular records. The conference room piano may be used for group singing. Refreshments are on sale in the gym kitchen. W.A.A. puts on Co-Rec with occasional co-spon- sorship by other campus organizations. The student body is indebted to the W.A.A. officers and to Mrs. Schjeldrup and Mrs. Moore for the success of Co-Rec. 123 Queen, Anita Robinson, reigned over the for the best float in the women’s division. men’s division.

The highlight of the evening was the crowning of Anita Robin- son, Homecoming Queen. The general theme of the dance featured the school’s twenty- fifth birthday. Jim Callaway and his band provided the music. TONG-TNT STARDUST DANCE TT Ny oand Tong combined for their an- nual Stardust dance, which was held early in November. The bids and decorations carried out the traditional colors of blue and silver. The walls of the gym were covered with blue and silver stars. A big silver star was sus- pended from the middle of the ceiling. Music was by King Perry and his band. Pictured at left are T. N. T. and Tong members Lois Rasner, Jim Corlew, and Dolores Gollnick, in the front row, and Terry Quimby and Tom Taylor holding the star. MAHABS CHRISTMAS BALL Mahabharata held its annual Christ- mas Ball at the Lafayette Hotel this year. Music for the formal affair was provided by Paul Buzzard and his or- chestra. The traditional bids were red and silver. Miniature Santa socks were the favors passed out at the door by the Mahabs. HAMMS-TAMMUZ PRISON BALL The twenty-fifth annual Prison Ball was sponsored jointly this year by Hammurabi and Tammuz. The prison theme was carried out in the black and white decorations. Dick Neumaier and his College Continentals pro- vided the music for the sports-dressed dan- cers. Hamms and Tammuz members shown at left are Ron Yeo and Jeri Dawn Bailey, on the wall, and Carvin Schoenberger giving Dianne McCondach a boost. 127 The Faculty Christmas Party is attended by all certificated and classified employees on the campus.

Students at LBCC have elections at least twice every semester, with secret ballot, polls, registered voter sheets, and organized vote counting and tallying. The two-party svstem prevails. The parties are the ICC or Inde- pendents and Clubs Combined, and the Collegiate. The polls open at 9:00 and close at 2:00. Booths are set up in the quad.

The best costume award went to Joyce Niederberger and Floyd Hindman. VIDAR-RAMAY ANA COTTON BALL Ramayana and Vidar combined forces to present the Cotton Ball, which culminated the annual Charity Drive. The big moment of the evening was the crowning of Earl Garrison and Sandra Scoggins, Charity Drive King and Queen. The cotton-clad dan- cers danced to the music of Bill Jacoby’s band.

Our service hour cards were doomed to be late, And ineligibility loomed as our fate. But now as we sit here side by side, We're filled with a sense of glowing pride. Joyce has worked hard to attend the dinner, Perhaps Dolores will be our Kassai winner. Gloria showed the spirit of do or die! She’s now the president of mighty Kassai. Shelley once was queen of the Fylke celebrations, Now she’s Representative of Publications. In charge of all the money is our illustrious Pat, She’s been elected Cabinet treasurer: now d think of that! Sonia showed the office just who is best, She earned the job of President of A.W.S. Congratulations, girls, you’re a wonderful troup, To have brought such honor to our group. We’re happy for you each individually, But, most of all we’re proud of T.N.T. 161 162 TONG Bob Matheny Fall President Don Schlosser Spring President Don Pattison Tom Taylor Mr. William D.
