THE YEAR SWEEPING to the fore with ail eiirolJiiieiit of nearly four thousand five hundred students, Los Angeles Junior College officially closed its registration booths, Septeniher 16, with the knowl- edge that it had more students than any other insti- tution of its kind in the United States. After late registration was completed, and a few lagging stu- dents were taken care of, it was found that the enrollment had swollen to five thousand. The top picture shows a part of the registration line in front of the Library. With each succeeding year a new crop of Alphas comes to grace our campus and this year was no exception. Just below the first plate is a picture of some hopefuls, already anticipating that they will get off easily — vain hope. Life goes on. The Alphas settle down and the old students get back into the swing of their college duties. Classes are settled, conflicts straightened out, new iriends are made, old friendships revived, and life slips into the well-worn groove of college activity. The first lootball game, a iiiglit game with liittier, looms ill tlie offing and the student body prepares to turn out en masse to support the team. The Alphas get their chance at the upperclassmen ill the semi-annual brawl in wliich a menu of mud is served. Although the Alphas called in the services of a dog — plate four — they lost the brawl ; not to mention plenty of skin. Just a liunch of boys ha ing some nice, clean fun. Football again claims the spot- light as the Cul) varsity prepares for the struggle with tlie Compton Tartar. This being the first conference game, the Cub was out to make a good showing Irom the start. Expressing their feelins;s. the student body luirncd the Compton Tartar in effigy — picture eleven — and the next day watched an inspired Cul) eleven tie the Powerful Tartar varsity to the tune of 6-6, as depicted in ])late six.

N REVIEW With the Plays and Players in lull swing. one of the best murder mysteries (■ er pre- sented at the college, Bloodstains ' — plate seven — held sway in the Little Thealcr for a week. It was one of the most intense dramatic productions ever seen hy the students of Los Angeles Junior College. More football, this time with Glendale. The Cub entered this game tlie lieavy favorite and he lived up to the expectations of the student body. Picture eight depicts some of the action that enai)ied the Cnl) eleven to scuttle the Buccaneer galley 26-7. This game proved that the boys under Coach Ackerman had their eyes glued on the championship and were going to be loathe to look anywhere else. Proving their versatility, the Plays and Plav- ers changed their bloodstains for editorial attire right in the middle of the football season in the production of Pigskin. a play based on college life wliich reached new heights in comedy entertainment, being suc- cessful even in its timeliness. Adding to the record of successful dances already held, the Associated Student Body Hallowe ' en Dance came and went with a wail- ing of trumpets and moaning of saxophones. Once again bowing to god football, the Cub prepared to invade the lair of the Viking and advance another rung on the ladder of the conference championship. Going to Long Beach with every intention of wiiuiing, a fight- ing Cub eleven lived up to its name and shoved the Long Beach aggregation all over the field. It was a blocked kick that won the game. An alert Cub fell on the ball after it had been blocked by another member of the varsity. INDIVIDUALS OF NOTE THE COLLEGE
