D E LTA CLASS WINTER 1933 Inealizing that only a few hours were left to them as college students, one hundred and seventy-five Deltas went to Commencement exercises with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow. Respectfully they listened to the program. The principal address of the afternoon was delivered hy James A. Blaisdell, LL.D., presi- dent of Claremont College. The degree of Asso- ciate of Arts was conferred upon each graduate hy Mr. Harry H. Baskerville, president of the Los Angeles Board of Education. Dr. William H. Snyder, director of the college, then delivered his message to tlie graduates and with the sing- ing of the college hymn that part of the program was concluded. Commencement time is always a busy season for the Delta class, and this year was no excep- tion. Xl liat with dances, teas, numerous other social events, pictures being taken, caps and gowns secured, and all the little details that had to be attended to, the graduates had little or no time they could call their own. A recital given by the department of music began the rites. This was followed l)y the Delta Dinner Dance. Class Day, breakfast for grad- uate men and women, a baccalaureate address, and tlie Director ' s Reception, with Commence- ment climaxing the college life of the Deltas.

STARLING TRIMBLE. Prisidint KENNETH ABEL BERNARD BENDEK, 1 HIS CLASS marked the fourth conimeceinciit in the history of the college. Choosing Starling Trimhle as president of the class, along -with Kenneth Ahel as vice-president; Mildred Burress, secre- tary; Bernard Bender, treasurer; and Dorothy Meyer, historian; the Deltas got into the swing of their last sem- ester activities about the first of October. Class advisors were Miss Mabel F. Loop and Dr. Orvil F. Myers. Of the many successful affairs given by this class, the Delta dinner dance, held on January 20 in the Rain- bow Isle of the IVIayfair Hotel, was probably the most colorful. Three days later. Delta Class Day held the attention of everyone, the events centering around the Administration Building and auditorium. On January 29, the Delta Women ' s Breakfast was held in Faculty Hall, while the Delta men breakfasted at the Mona Lisa Cafe. The baccalaureate address was given the same day, Sunday, at the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church South, bv the Reverend Robert P. Shuler. D.D. Several afternoon dances were also given, one of which was held in Newman Hall. At these dances and at the evening proms, favors and dancing contests fur- nished entertaining diversion for all. The dances were perhaps enjoved more than the other social events be- cause of the fact that these dances put on by this ])ar- ticular class seemed to surpass any events jjlanncd oi- attempted in the past. The class gilt deserves honorable mention, for it was a most original and much-needed type of presentation. A considerable sum of money was given to their Alma Mater for the purpose of establishing a loan fund, to be used for graduation purposes only for those students desirous of graduating, but without financial means to do so, the money to be paid back at the stutlent ' s con- venience. The Winter Delta Class is to be congratu- lated upon the thought exercised in selecting sucli a suit- able gilt for graduates to iollow. MILDRED BURESS Secretary DOROTHY MEVEIl Historian
