w o R D SALVAGING for iiitiire years the impressions, iiieinnrie-. and at- mosphere of the eollege is the function of a yearbook aiul it has been the purpose of the Junior Campus staff in creating this volume to do so. ilhout the advantage of merely decorative art work, this hook endeavors to faithfidly record wliat happened, what was said, and what was felt. It tries to capture tlie vigorous charm of modern education taking phice on a campus of a past age. it tries to portray the luiractcMs of the peoph- uhr) niak( up this institution, and, most of all, endeavors to give local color and contemporary interest to what otherwise would he merely a dry recordation. To accomplish all this, the traditional yearbook theme has been avoided and significant material has been sub- stituted: material which will always be peculiarly appropriate to Los Angeles Junior College. It is hoped that this idea will meet with approbation and that this yearbook will be enjoved by all who read it. — The Editor.

So ENDETH the i ' ourth year. Not with Ijouni times, not with the pioneer spirit of earlier days, but with the feeling that all such things are over now, and Los Angeles Junior College has jelled, has become set and steady in her ways, and is well on the way to a future which those with imagination claim has no limits. This year was marked by absence of the inflation spirit, so no- ticeable in tlie last, our third year of existence, but it was marked also by noticeable progress and expansion in all departments. Things which seemed bold and radical a year ago are accepted as a matter of course today. We have become accustomed to doing ihings in a big way. Our athletic teams are powerful and looked up to. Tlie student body as a whole has developed a more mature col- legiate attitude tlian in our opening years and. all in all. the feel- ing is prevalent that we have arrived. Looking back, it was a pleasant experience, that of realizing that we have come of age.

D E D C BACK IN tliuse dim, early, hectic days of lorination, when Doctor Snyder was just starting his impressive task of creating an institution, his right- hand a ssistant was Miss Bertha Green, dean of women. This con- tinued an association which had its inception at Hollywood High School, where Doctor Snyder was principal and Miss Green served hoth as girls ' vice-principal and head of the Latin department. Miss Green ' s earlier career may be sketched as follows: She received her A.B. degree at the Universit of Southern California, her A.M. degree at the University of California at Berkeley, and also did graduate work at Har ard University; she taught Latin and Greek at Monrovia High School and Latin and history at the University of Southern California Preparatory School, after which ensued the period at Hollywood High School. Coming to Los Angeles Junior College with its ope ning in Septeml) er. S 1929, Miss Green was one of the prominent founders and organizers of the college. She aided in the organization of all the departments, and was a main factor in the building of the Associated Women Students, an organiza- tion she has supervised since its beginning. Her present activities are many and varied. She acts as faculty sponsor of the Alethians, women ' s honor, service organization; she aided in the formation of the Faculty Women ' s Club; edits the Junior College Bulletin and Circular of Information and assembles the schedule of classes at the beginning of each semester. Her capacity for understanding the individual pr()i)lems of the students who are privileged to come in contact with her has endeared her to the hearts of many. Her devotion of time and energv to evervthing that is con- nected with the college, and her faithful assistance and advice, has helped to bring the college to its present stains. No lionor can be extended by student hands worthy of the place she holds in our hearts, but this small token of our esteem is possible and we do hereby dedicate this volume of the Junior Campus to a beloved woman — Miss Bertha (ireen.
