NORSEMEN By Mary Callos Norsi ' nicn, one of Long Beach City College ' s ser- vice clubs, has a goal of develoi)ing and maintaining sincere active school spirit. During two weeks of the spring semester, the Car- son Street campus was adorned with 25 new colorful trash cans. Each were placed in strategic locations around the campus by Norsemen, and each had slo- gans printed on it such as Can Your Litter or Not out There, in Here. The Norsemen program was introduced to the men students jn order to give school service in 1961. Thane was the original men ' s service club, but it was unable to cope with the increased spirit shown by the men on campus. It gave way to this ' present organization. Since its beginning, Norsemen has been under the sponsorship of Monte Nitzkowski and the AMS board members. Norsemen received hours this semester for usher- ing at forums and track meets, at the AMS frolics, and for selling concert and Saga tickets. All men who suceeded in obtaining 30 service hours attended the semesterly AMS banquet which was held at the Knott ' s Berry Farm Steak House. CHIEF NORSEMAN Bob Montenegro (far right) discusses Norsemen sian-ups with, from righr, Mike Drouillard, John Thomas, Gary McFarland, Mike Hayes, and Carl Bloom.

By John Allen AMS President AMS began the semester with the semesterly Stag Day in which tlie various clubs on campus displayed their awards and achievements. In the following week, the clubs held their first open houses. Their second open houses were held a week later and rushees were selected for pledging. One of the highlights of this semester ' s activities was the Frolics ' 63. Clubs participated by presenting light skits, while members of the sv ■imming team played parts in the walk-ons, staged at unannounced times during the performance. This semester marked the first time Frolics was held at night, and it proved a great success, playing to a sell-out crowd. The AMS is already contemplating next year ' s show. Three integral parts of AMS are Norsemen, Interclub- Council and Intramurals. All have enjoyed success this semester uiulci- the suihtI) leadership of Robert Monte- negro. Doug Reagan, and Ken Myers, respectively. Two other standard offices include treasurer and secre- tary. Ron Drabman, by his excellent handling of funds, has kept expenses at a minimum while the program ran at its maximum. Mike Clark, this semester ' s secretary, instituted the idea of starting a secretary ' s ledger in which all minutes of the semester are kejjt. Money for scholarships was raised by the AMS thro ugh the showing of John Severson ' s surf film The Angrj- Sea on successive Saturday nights. The film, an annual event, will be continued next semester. The semester was ended on June 1 at the semesterly AMS Banquet where many of the outstanding men stu- dents were honored for their service to the school. AMS sponsor is Monte Nitzkowsky. LEADING AMS this semester were, from left: Doug Reagan, Joht Allen president; Mike Clark, secre- tary; Ken Meyers; Ron Drabman, treasurer, and Bob Montenegro. 15
