DEDICATION The shadow of an institution Is lengthened by the figure of a man. In the progressive spirit of molding initiative and originality Into a single force, and gifted with the courage and wisdom to utilize that force to the maximum, Dr. William hi. Snyder today stands as the tower of strength that has made this institution a vital part of the educational system of the Southland. As the director of the largest junior college In the world, he is recognized throughout the nation for his work. An educator with an enviable record for the past three decade s, the Doctor is an indi- vidualist. Catering to neither pomp nor position, bowing to none of the iron-clad customs that have retarded American education, he has con- sistently broadened his activities into new fields of education. Now, after five years In which he has established and led this college, the Doctor resigns from public life, hlls work Is beyond human reward; his place In our lives and hearts unapproached. Though one of the greatest ed- ucational leaders of this generation, though the unifying force that has made this junior college possible, it Is not to William H. Snyder, A.B., A.M., ScD., that we pledge this book, but to the Doctor, as we know him here on the cam- pus, that we dedicate this 1934 volume of the Junior Campus. The Main Purpose of the College Is To Help Young Men and Women Make Good in Life ' Dr. William H. Snyde VIEWS Selecting the site cf an old Spanish ranchero, Callfornlan educators have erected a college of more than a dozen beautiful halls of Lom- bardy design that have, In the past two decades, accommodated four state Institutions of learning, opening to jun- ior collegians In I 929. 4 %L fr- ri  ;♦, Aae Old Portals— Truth, Service, Hone College Promenade Bordered by Australian Eucalypti In the vine covered buildings of pre-war days, this infant experi- ment in education is a nev variety of plant in old and tested soil.

I • • • ■ ' 1 !.• ■ ' ■ • ■.■■■■■jm •• ' -;: ' t A-m M AD To those who know Dr. William H. Snyder personally, the Los Angeles Junior College director Is a broad-minded, well informed, dominating, yet congenial character entering the twilight years of a useful life dedi- cated to his fellow men. To those who know the Doctor only through his enormous accomplishment record, culminating with the five-year direc- torship of the local institution, he is a man gifted with tremendous powers of organization, keen initiative, and a talent for seeing far into the future. For more than thirty years. Doctor Snyder has supervised various phases of education, specializing in solving the intimate problems of youth. Always welcoming the Individual student to his office. Doctor Synder takes a special interest in the personal side of young people ' s lives. Recruited from Hollywood hiigh School In 1929 to fill the director ' s chair of the college, he has developed an institution unlike any other school In the world. In the five years of the college ' s history, much of Its phenomenal growth and accomplishment can be accredited to the Doctor. Dv INISTRATORS Second in connmand, working directly under Doctor Snyder, Miss Bertha Green acts as the Dean of Women. In this capacity she edits the L.A.J.C. catalogue and revises the schedule of classes each year. Miss Green is also the faculty advisor of the Alethians, women ' s honor- ary service organization, and is a prominent member of the Faculty Women ' s club. Coming from Hollywood High along with Doctor Sny- der, Miss Green was in a position to help with the organ- ization of the Associated Women Students into a per- fectly functioning body. Miss Green spends a great dea of her time in studying th e problems of the modern girl, and in finding a solution that will be applicable to not one but a good many situations that may arise. Because of this attitude of interest in the women, Miss Green has become one of the most respected women on the campus. After surmounting the difficulties that presented them- the opening day of registration in September, 929, the task of outlining the procedure of forthcoming registration at the College was placed in the hands of Kenneth M. Kerans, formerly of Pasadena Junior College. Kerans, before coming here, had been Principal of the Alta Vista Public School in Kansas. He is a graduate of Washburn College, in Topeka, Kansas: and the University of California at Los Angeles. Registrar Kenneth Kerans plans and supervises regis- tration, acts as recorder, and serves on the scholarship, petitions, and graduation committees. In addition to these manifold duties, Mr. Kerans Instructs a semi-profes- sional course for Registrars assistants. He helps the stu- dents with credit evaluation and some personal problems. 19 COLLEGE With her duties as Advisor of Women Including such things as official chaperone at all social func- tions, aiding the wonnen in their personal and group problems, and approving the residence of all out- of-town students. Miss Pearl M. Small finds plenty of things with which to occupy her time. Miss Small came to the College from Fresno, where she served for some time as an instructor of Latin and Greek at Fresno Junior College. Her early training at Bates College, Maine, University of California, and the summer session of h arvard University, has enabled Miss Small to be of great service to the women of the College in her ca- pacity as advisor. As sponsor of the A.W.S., Miss Small was respon- sible for a series of successful social affairs. As Advisor of Men, Zachary T. Walter handles all problems of a personal nature pertaining to men of the College, hie also serves on the athletic committee, being in charge of arrangements for home contests: and serves on the eligibility com- mittee that checks on athletes scholarship. Z. T. Walter entered the College in September, 1929, as a chemistry instructor, and later replaced Ray O. Diether as Men ' s Advisor. In the four years that have elapsed since he took the office Walter has concerned himself in the further development of the many branches of all-student activities. It was due principally to the efforts of Walter that the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was ob- tained as the site of the Western Division track meet. 20 Miss Victoria McAlmon is the place- ment and occupational secretary for the college. She tries to place all the grad- uates in positions that correspond to the work that he or she has taken while in college. Miss McAlmon visits the potential employers, interviews the students to determine their working ability, and in general looks after the employment sit- uation in the College. During the last year the big task placed in the hands of the employment office was the allotment of the Federal Emergency Relief jobs that were given out. OFFICIALS ' ' m Recruited from the San Bernardino County Library by Dr. Snyder when the director organized his staff. Miss Gladys Green has served as head librarian at the college for the past five years. She has three professional assistants besides the 13 full-time student helpers and 20 part-time F.E.R. workers. Miss Green has built the local library circulation list to include twenty-five thousand books, and boasts a loaning schedule of more than a thousand books dally. In the capacity of librarian. Miss Green advises both students and fac- ulty in the selection of reading material. Concerning himself with the financial stability of the College, William F. Crites, auditor, is well established In the business of the Student Body. It is his duty to supervise the whole financial structure of the school. This includes such things as the signing of contracts and purchase orders: collection of reve- nue and disbursements; aiding in the drafting of the budget: and advising in the management of the student store. Before coming to L.A.J.C. to assume the role of auditor for the college, Crites had worked In several banks, and taught in a school in the Imperial Val- ley. Twenty Diversi- fied Curricula Each Demand A FACULTY CHAIRMAN ) ► Led for the first time in its history by a woman, the Executive Council was headed by Ann Cohen during the spring session of the last school year. She was assisted in her work by Henry Flynn, vice-president, and Margaret hloward, secretary. E. Jay Altman administered student body funds; music, drama, and forensics were under the care of Gilman Rankin Jr. of the Drama Department: the Publications Department acknowledged the leader- ship of Jack Guenther: Robert Hosick represented cam- pus athletic interests; A. M. S. and A. W. S. affairs were in charge of the heads of those groups, namely George Blum and Kay Davis. Hugh Pease, I. C. C. president, was Council Club representative. Campus leaders of the previous semester were Sid Smith, president; Charles White, vice-president, and Georglna Critchley, secretary. The Council was com- pleted by the presence of E. Jay Altman in the only po- sition carrying a full year term, Manager of Finance; Albert Wooten, Manager of Music, Drama, and Foren- sics; John Lackner, Manager of Publications; Arthur Mollner, Manager of Athletics; Ann Cohen and George Streuver, A. W. S. and A. M. S. heads, and Sam Ham- merman, I. C. C. president. Critchley 1 EXECUTIVE 26 Under the three-dlvlsloned shield of Los Angeles Jun- ior College, and with the symbolic, yet practical, motto of Truth, Service, Honor indelibly engraved on campus work, collegians are encouraged in self-expression, indi- viduality, and leadership, even to the actual supervision of the majority of the institution ' s extra-curricular activi- ties, with executive powers vested in student leaders democratically elected from the masses. Since the opening semester in 1929, the Associated Student Body has elected representatives of the various departments of the school to serve on the Executive Council. The President of the Student Body, Vice-presi- dent, and Secretary head the Council of ten that repre- sent the college to off-campus groups, and that represent the students in the transaction of all under-graduate business. Under the A. S. B. Constitution the powers and duties of the governing group are enumerated. Student Body finances, socials, educational projects, dances, and de- partmental projects are under the direct supervision of the Executive Council. In addition to this trio, the Council includes seven students representing various activities. Blum Flynn Howard C COUNCIL 27 ASSOCIATED MEN STUDENTS In any institution the size of Los An- geles Junior college, the only method of accomplishing an objective is through unity. Thus it is that Zachery T. Walter, advisor of men, accepted the responsibility of first organizing men students of the campus into a working unit of college life, afford- ing otherwise Impossible aid and assist- ance to members of the association that automatically includes every man enrolled in the school. Lllcewlse the A. M. S. spon- sors several all-college activities, and is eager to work on any project designed for the direct benefit of local students. As in other branches of Los Angeles Junior College activity, student govern- ment is emphasized. Student executives for the past year were Presidents George Streuver and George Blum; Vice-presidents Bob Burns and George Dalia. 28 i, ' H 1 m I 4 : ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS Aiming at higher ideals of friendship and a fuller appreciation of college life and of the many opportunities the campus offers, the Associated Women Students, as an or- ganization composed of all the women of the college, has helped to strengthen col- lege spirit. Offering invaluable aid to new women in the form of an ever-present welcome, the Cabinet of the A. W. S., through which the majority of the group ' s work is accomplished, annually sponsors innumerable women ' s activities, including teas, an afternoon dance, a semi-annual fashion show, the May Fiesta, and other informal meetings. Ail activities of the group are designed for the general welfare of A. W. S. mem- bers and for the Associated Student Body as a whole. In the first semester, Ann Cohen served as president, succeeded In the spring session by Kay Davis. A. S. B. FALL Sid Smith, Associated Student body president, became the second Smith in succession to head College student activities, succeeding Al Smith. Sid ' s activity record reads like a cabinet roll call. Just prior to becoming student body president, he was president of the Associated Men ' s students. Before that, he headed the Gamma class. As Manager of Literary activities, Smith kept himself busy for a semester. Not con- tent with all that work, Sid decided to manage one of the Southern California championship basketball teams. Smith is a native of Georgia and attended Georgia Tech a year before coming to Los Angeles. Charles Chuck White, A. S. B. vice president, is another one of the long line of student body officers who headed their Gamma classes before joining the Executive Council. White was responsible for the success of the many A. S. B. proms held at the Rainbow Gardens and at the Shrine ballroom. Inaugurating a number of new features. Georglna Critchley, secretary of the Associated Student Body, was active In Associated Women ' s activities before being elected to the former position. A Recreational Leadership major. Miss Critchley also held many offices In the Women ' s Athletic Association, and was student director of many of the W. A. A. activities. Critchley 30 4 V O L S. B. SPRING Ann Cohen, first woman sfudent body president at Los Angeles Junior College, has a long record of service that probably no other woman on the campus can approach. Ann was president of the Associated Women ' s students last fall, and in the meantime had become a member of the Alethians, women ' s service organization. When not performing her official duties, Ann may either be found working In the Co-op or singing with her Artists ' Bureau trio. While in high school, Ann was made a mem- ber of the Epheblan society. Like his superior, Henry Flynn, A. S. B. vice president, has a fine service record, having served as Gamma class president last fall. Hank, as he Is popularly known. Is an active member of the Archons, men ' s service organization. Flynn, like Ann, is a member of the Epheblan society, and Is active in that work at the present time. Hank, having higher aspirations, was a candidate for president of the Associated Student Body, but at the time the Junior Campus went to press, results of the election were not known. Margaret Howard, A. S. B. Secretary, gained most of her local fame through her work as a member of Plays and Players, Little Theater group. Maggie, as most of her fellow Thespians know her, specializes in char- acter parts while playing the Little theater boards. Miss Howard ran unopposed this semester for president of the Associated Women students. j35 REVIEW O F THE I The ninth graduating class of Los Angeles Junior College paraded through the picturesque arches of the North Hall of the campus Friday afternoon, February 2, to be awarded diplomas carrying the educational degree of Associate in Arts. With the conferring of the degrees by Direc- tor William hi. Snyder, one-hundred-seventy-five students terminated their two-year courses in either regular collegiate curriculum or specialized semi- professional studies designed to give the graduate a third-year university rating or a practical foundation in the particular profession of his choice. Dr. William Dexter, former president of Whittier College, was invited to the local campus as the prin- cipal speaker for commencement exercises. Well- known in Southern California, Dr. Dexter has long been recognized in educational circles throughout the coun- try for his progressive views on college and university training, and his intensive study of present-day systems of higher education. Recently he resigned the presi- dency of Whittier College to enter politics. Drawing upon his own broad background of experience. Dr. Dexter emphasized the social duties and conduct that would be expected of college men and women after they had left the college and entered their chosen phase of work. Declaring that absolute freedom in various activities of life were not only practically im- possible, but very undesirable, the educator pointed out the many ways that youth must curb its own desires for the benefit of society, and indirectly for youth itself. On the other hand, moderate freedom makes it possible for this complicated civilization to maintain its equilibrium. Following the usual custom that has been established in the short list of institutional traditions, fac- ulty members of the college were seated on the platform and In the front rows of the lower floor of the auditorium for the exercises. After terms varying from four to eight semesters, members of the winter graduating class re- ceived their diplomas only through a series of educational steps carry- ing them from the Alpha and Beta years through the Gamma semes- ter and Into the Delta division. With the completion of the two- year course, the graduates receive an A. A. degree. YEAR The final social round of pre-graduation rites, conducted under the leadership of Presi- dent Al Smith, began Friday afternoon, Janu- ary 12, with the Delta women ' s tea honoring their mothers, and closed with commencement ceremonies a fortnight later. Formal observ- ance of Class Day held the center spot on the calendar, with class group pictures taken at that time. A reading of the class history and the ceremony of laying the Delta plaque com- pleted the day. The evening following the campus ceremonies, the semi-annual Delta dinner-dance was held In the Blossom Room of the Roosevelt Hotel. The more informal breakfasts for both men and women were held Sunday morning a week later. The same morning baccalaureate serv- ices were held at the First Congregational Church. Reverend Patton delivered the ser- mon of the day, encouraging the young people to a high moral and material standard of life. Dr. and Mrs. Snyder ' s regular recep- tion preceding graduation terminated the social whirl for Deltas of the winter class. The entire semester ' s activities were under the advisorship of Dr. Orville Meyers and a staff of five class officers, besides a number of special committees delegated to the various functions. Al Smith served as Delta president, with Carrol Kendricks in the vice-presidency. Gertrude Schultz was class secretary, while financial matters were turned over to hlenry Boss. Ethyl Beam recorded the semester ' s work as historian. The ninth graduating class In the history of the institution, the winter class of the 1933-34 school year stands as a tribute to the work and success of Dr. William H. Snyder, Director of the College, who, since its Inception in 1929, has consistently been the guiding light of the college. 55 Welsh, Clark Emerson Bridges, Robert C.

PING DELTA OFFICERS With fhe final graduation exercises for the spring class of 1934, Dr. William H. Snyder concluded the five year term that has established Los Angeles Junior College in the educational system of the southland. In presenting the diplomas, the Di- rector awarded the Associate of Arts degree to two-hundred- sixty-five Deltas in the front quadrangle of the campus Thurs- day afternoon, June 21. The commencement ceremonies closed the junior college ca- reers of the fourth semester students as the final vent in a gala social whirl that occupied the last month of the semester. Be- ginning the season of activity with the Delta Women ' s Tea, held in honor of the mothers of the graduating women the after- noon of May 2 in the Green Room, the class ended the social round four weeks later with the semi-annual dinner-dance. Wednesday afternoon preceding graduation exercises, Dr. and Mrs. Snyder held their customary reception for members of the graduating group. Dr. Snyder ' s last reception, the meeting stands as the final gathering in which the students were brought into personal contact with the Director, who has estab- lished the college and guided its activities through the past five years. Initiating the season with a series of afternoon dances and class socials held in the Green Room, Class President John Lackner scheduled a number of Delta activities in addition to the regular routine of events. The highpoint of the final four weeks on the campus was the semi-annual Class Day with traditional ceremonies cal- endared for the morning of the last day of May, and the picnic held in the afternoon. The graduate ' s informal assemblage was followed by the laying of the class plaque and a review of the Delta history and class records. Early morning break- fasts for both men and women, a second Women ' s Tea, and two afternoon dances, besides Baccalaureate services and com- mencement ceremonies, completed the Delta semester. Dr. William B. Munro, internationally recognized authority on history and political science, was selected as the speaker of the day for the final exercises. Recipient of degrees from 44 SUMMER ' 34 Harvard, University of Edinburgh, and University of Berlin, Dr. Munro is now a trustee of Scrlpps College, and a member of the Executive Council of the California Institute of Tech- nology. A member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a Fellow In the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Doctor was well Informed on present-day political situations throughout the world. Giving the Deltas a resume of significant political events and their direct bearing on the future, the Doctor en- couraged young people to be optimistic In viewing the finan- cial situation that has gripped the world for the past six years. Likewise he encouraged youth to Improve the political side of our local and national life. As has been customary for the past several semesters, Dr. Orville Meyers acted as faculty ad- visor for the Delta class. Supervising the many social and formal functions sponsored by the group, the Instructor served as faculty representative for the fourth semester students. In the executive posi- tions of the class, John Lackner wielded the gavel from the president ' s chair, with Ed Beaumont seated at his right as vice-president. Laure Halle took notes of Delta meetings as secretary, while Herman Janzen was class treasurer. Virginia Bruner edited the semester ' s records as historian. When the Director had awarded the last degree of the afternoon, the total number of graduates for the year tallied four-hundred-forty. Of this group, approximately half held sufficient scholastic stand- ing to enter an accredited university as juniors. The other fifty per cent have received two years of semi-professional training designed to fit the stu- dent for practical work In any one of two dozen vocations. As the tenth and final graduating class of Dr. Snyder ' s junior college directorship, the summer class of 1934 may be considered a milestone In educational circles throughout the United States. 45 Albert!, Esther L.

With unique favors for everyone pres- ent the highlight of the dance was the awarding of Thansksgiving turkey to the holder of the lucky ticket. Before the drawing, the turkey stalked majestically up and down the dance floor, keeping time with the music of Jack Dunn and his or- chestra. Flynn, president of last semester ' s Gam- ma class, was elected vice president of the Associated Student Body for the spring semester, and was a candidate for student body president for next fall ' s semester. Another class officer, Ed Beaumont, was chairman of the spring semester Activities Committee, while Jack Guenther was Man- ager of Publications this last semester. Other Gamma class officers besides Flynn included Ed Beaumont, vice presi- dent: Virginia Brunner, secretary, and Sam Lippman, treasurer. GAMMA OFFICERS SUMMER ' 34 Concentrating all their activity on a single event, the summer Gammas devoted all their efforts to the staging of their semi-annual all-college prom, which was held this semester at the Los Angeles Breakfast Club located on Riverside drive near Griffith park. Not having any regard for hoodoos or jinxes, the Gammas selected Friday, April 13, as the date of their dance. Favors carrying out the jinx day motif were dis- tributed among the 400 couples present. A change from the usual routine manner of decoration was made, with a rustic idea being carried out throughout the grounds of the Breakfast Club. A barn, a stable, and even the old ox road were to be found at the scene of the dance. Not satisfied with all those changes from the usual. Gamma class officers also made the dance contest a novel affair, twin cups being presented to the couple winning a medley contest, featuring both fox trot and waltz steps. Leading the Gamma class activities as president was Mathew Babick, who was Beta vice president in ihe previous se- mester. Assisting Babick in the class activities were Jean Stewart, vice presi- dent; Gwen hlorton, secretary, and Gloria Marcher, treasurer. •59 n BETA OFFICERS WINTER ' 33 o One of the most successful class dances ever held at the College was the high- light of the winter Beta semester under the direction of Bill Kadison, president. Riviera Country Club, which has be- come one of the most popular of the many clubs in this area, was the scene of the Beta dance on November 4. Bill Warren ' s orchestra provided the music. The feature of the evening was the choosing, for the first time, of Miss L. A. J. C. Virginia Brunning, brunette Alpha, was adjudged the winner by a trio of judges including Eleanor Barnes, drama editor of the Los Angeles Illustrated Daily News; Lois January, Universal featured player, and Billy Taft, New York stage fa- vorite. Kay hlughes, petite Little Theater actress, was chosen second, and Bobbie Jones, Beta, was picked for the third posi- tion. Over 400 couples were present at the dance. Early in the semester the big Alpha brawl team defeated the sadly out-num- bered Beta squad, led by Dick Kinsey and Dave Satkin by a 3l 2-to-M 2 score. The Betas won but one event and tied an- other. Besides Kadison, other Beta class of- ficers Included Mathew Babick, vice presi- dent; Gwendolyn hlorton, secretary, and tvlyron Haig, treasurer. 60 BETA OFFICERS SUMMER ' 34 Campus politics aftracfed more atten- tion this past semester than at any other time since the establishment of the Col- lege. Probably the center of the attrac- tion was the Beta class, with two vacancies appearing simultaneously midway through the semester. Because he was offered a trip to Aus- tralia, Jack Wright, Beta president, ten- dered his resignation to the Activities Committee. At the same time, a commit- tee composed of faculty members and students discovered that Tom Fransden, vice president of the class, had never been eligible to run for the office. Conse- quently, he was removed from office. No provision was made for filling the vacan- cies, so the class went through the rest of the semester with but two officers, L«e Delotia, secretary, and Kenneth Durand, treasurer. Social activities of the semester were concentrated on the class dance, held at the Oakmont Country Club on March 17. The feature of the evening was the judging of the Alpha-Beta beard growing contest that followed a challenge by the under- classmen after losing the semi-annual brawl. Once again the Betas were victorious, with Clifford Smith taking the honors. Julius Welsberg and Joe Wadnisey, Alphas, were runners-up. Eleanor Rudinski, Alpha, and Adolph Bayer, Beta, won the waltz contest. ft ALPHA OFFICERS WINTER ' 33 Wright ' i Two thousand and ninety-one Alphas, as green as the grass in front of Admin- istration building, got their first test of Junior college life on September 13, amid the maze of registration paraphernalia. For 16 days, those 2091 Alphas were meek as the proverbial lambs; then, on Septem- ber 29, things happened. Before a crowd of between four and five thousand spectators, a scrappy band of peagreeners, under the leadership of Eddie Epstein, defeated a sadly outnumbered group of Betas, 3I 2 to II 2, In the semi- annual brawl held on the Monroe avenue parking lot. From then on, the Alphas were taken in by the rest of the Col- lege. On the same day as the brawl, class elections and the semi-annual Alpha dance were held, the latter at the Riviera Coun- try Club, with over 1 100 people in attend- ance. Don Wedge and his hHollywood Playboys provided the music. Class officers, as announced at the dance, were Jack Wright, president; Max Fisher, vice president; Delia Lee, secre- tary, and Muriel Woodland, treasurer. Alpha students took charge of the pub- lication of the Los Angeles Junior Colle- gian on Friday, December 8. Robert Hare was managing editor of the edition. 62 IK « T ALPHA OFFICERS SUMMER ' 34 With plans already formulated before the semester opened, a round of activities that kept them busy for the entire term greeted 1581 Alphas who entered Los An- geles Junior College on February 6. The first of many social events occurred the first week the new students were on the campus, with the traditional Howdy dance being held at the Rainbow Gardens ballroom on February 9. Bill Warren ' s or- chestra furnished the music for the affair. Two weeks later, on February 23, Alpha day was celebrated with the election of class officers, the semi-annual Alpha-Beta brawl, and the Alpha dance at the Riviera County Club. Len Wagner was elected president of the first semester class, Dick O ' Meara was chosen vice president, and George Wil- liams was voted secretary-treasurer.

In visits to large industrial plants, such as the Chrysler Automobile company, and the National Biscuit company, members see the entire activity of the corporations from the front business offices to the back door of the manufacturing division. The Commerce Club does not entirely neglect so- cial affairs in favor of other pursuits, however. A semi-annual banquet, featuring outside speakers, is held at some off-campus cafe. A picnic is held each semester, with a baseball game with the faculty as the feature event of the day. Moving pictures and monthly dances complete the club ' s program. Winter officers were Jim O ' Mara, president; Armor Guyer, vice-president; Edith Griggs, secretary; Gladys Waldon, treasurer. Spring officers were Armor Guyer, president; Bud Bennett, vice-president; Vincent Scog- gins, secretary; Lorna Collander, treasurer. Ray ' Culey is faculty advisor. 99 C.} COSMOPOLITAN CLUB There is no institution in the United States that has the variety of races represented in its student enrollment, for its size, as has Los Angeles Junior College. In one of the industrial centers of the United States, and near the Pacific Coast, the col- lege serves as an educational melting pot for innumerable nationalities. Many collegians on the campus are of foreign birth, and hundreds more are of the first generation born on American soil. Traditions and customs of their countries are woven into their daily life through home environment. These many representatives are drawn together in the class room, and have established a medium of expression and better understanding through the organization of the Cosmopolitan Club. -Tuevedo. Cuaresma. Ja -De Vera, Angione, Sakii Rijbenstein. Feeling a need for further student interest In litera- ture, Including popular books of the day as well as clas- sical matter, Edmund W. Doran, debate coach and Eng- lish Instructor, organized the Shelley Club, named In honor of Percy Bysshe Shelley, seventeenth century poet. Campus Interest In the new organization was evidenced by English literature students who form the nucleus of the present group. Starting out rather unpretentiously, the club meets once or twice a month to keep some semblance of or- ganization. A campus circulating library was Immedi- ately planned by the society. Contributions first came from friends and students interested in literary activities. Gradually the money derived from dues was sufficient to purchase a few additional books. In the past several semesters, the club has built a large library, adding twenty-five or thirty new books each semester. Books are selected by popular vote, and are usually those in great demand at the public libraries. Meetings are devoted to book reviews and literary discussions by outside speakers.

Racial representatives from all over the world are enrolled In the college, many of the groups even going so far as to form Individual societies. Most active of these organizations, composed entirely of students either of foreign descent or actually born in another land, is the Rlzal Club. Formed several semes- ters ago for the specific purpose of aiding Filipino stu- dents of the campus in social contacts and college life, the group has taken many steps to establish a closer re- lationship between members of their society and other campus organizations as well as between the rank and file of the school ' s men and women and the individual Filipino. Particularly interested in American-Philippine affairs, the club sponsors a debate team and has, on numerous occasions, held oratorical and debate tournaments on the subject. Social activities are arranged for members by officers of the club. 102 PLAYS AND PLAYERS Row I— Carter, Conrad, Beech, Vess, Cosgrove. Saline. Sane Goodwin, Ridges, Mahoney, Raffel.

The seventh semi-annual lecture presented Ulrich Stein- dorf who spoke on A German Looks at Mark Twain. At the eighth semi-annual lecture Art Impressions of Germany were discussed by Roland Varno, actor. The Christmas festival presented Voderhaus und Hinterhaus, a German play, and a program consisting of folk dancing, community singing, and songs by the girls ' chorus. The spring festival was held May I I in Newman hail. Ninety students in all were formally admitted into the club ranks at the two initiations, one in October and the other in March.

Club leaders for the fall term were Otto Wiese, presi- dent; Lois Eckerson, first vice-president; Rosemary An- derson, second vice-president; Betty Collinson, secretary; Herman Konnerth, treasurer, and Dorothy French, his- torian. Spring semester officers were Edward Schmahl, presi- dent; Jane Williams, first vice-president; Jean Hulke, second vice-president; Catherine Marvich, secretary, and Margaret Lamb, historian. r 107 COLLEGIATE SERVICE CLUB Concentrating most of its activity at the opening of the semester, when the members aid College officials in registration duties, the Collegiate Service Club has be- come one of the hardest working groups on the campus. Meetings are held at regular intervals during the semes- ter to work out plans for the next registration period. Assembly credit is offered students when they attend meetings, which are held in the form of luncheons on Alpha assembly days. Any student with a C average is eligible to join the Collegiate Service Club, the only other requirement be- ing that of attending a specified number of meetings during the semester. Winter semester officers were Helen Switzer, president; Alice Gribble, vice-president; Betty Wells, executive secretary; Josephine Kays, recording secretary; Sigilow Strahl, treasurer; Norman Parrish, registration chairman; Don Wachner, public address chairman, and Alice Bruch, auditor ' s group chairman.

CULTURAL ARTS CLUB One of the newest organizations on the campus, the Cultural Arts Club was formed in the spring semester by women of the Social Arts Department to further interest in Literature, Fine Arts, Music, Dance, and Speech. Without entering into a minute study of the five arts that are considered the basis of culture and refinement, the women are able to group them into a cultural back- ground for social and business affairs in both student life and in the outside world. In bringing outside authorities of the five arts to the campus, the club had many na- tionally known personages on its guest speaker list for the past years activities. Hubert Greenwood, graduate of Corpus Christis Col- lege at Cambridge, spoke on The King ' s English in the interest of Literature. Nathaniel Wilcox, Isidore BroggottI, Miss Ovelda Holther, and Miss Eugenia Ong discussed the many phases of the arts. The social Interests of the club include a special per- formance of Yale Puppeteers, an evening at Pasadena Community Civic Ballroom, a buffet supper, with the final evening affair, a dinner-dance, billed to conclude the organization ' s first year. 109 H h mm Row 1— Wright, Janzen.

A division of the national Young Men ' s Christian Association, the L. A. J.C. chapter, is open at all times to local college men, and is particularly interested in the promotion of men ' s activities both on the campus and in outside social circles. Although the organization is not a campus club, its entire membership is drawn from the Associated Men Students, while sponsors are selected from the college faculty. All Y. M.C. A. work and social affairs are planned to fit in with class-room studies and club events. The group ' s aim is to contribute to all worthy college projects and to carry out the principles of Christianity on the campus and in off-campus activities. The program of the Y is built about the monthly banquet which features various leaders of the religious, business, and educational worlds. In addition to these principle meetings, numerous smaller groups gather for devotional services and the discussion of current prob- lems. David Ferrell and A. W. Bell, gym coach and biology instructor, respectively, are Y. M.C.A. advisors. • r 110 : - -X ,..- s-- - LE COLLECIEN FRANCAIS Aiming to enrich the cultural life of French students, Le Collegien Francais, under the guidance of Dr. Marietta De Robbio, French instructor, ends a year made outstanding by eminent speakers, interesting social af- fairs, and several French programs. A total of 80 new members were admitted to the club on October 20 at the Student Religious Conference with entertainment, dancing, and refreshments following the initiation ceremonies. In conjunction with the Italian Club, a Christmas party was held on December 18. The highlight of the party was the presentation of Les Carillons , a French play. French games, conversation, and dances are indulged in by club members during the afternoon frolics twice a month in the Foreign Language clubroom. Regular meetings are devoted to business, faculty sponsored pro- grams, and French plays and skits. The initiation for the second semester took place on March 24 at the Women ' s University Club where 16 went through the ceremonies. First term officers were Lawrence Duncan, president; Claire Farrar, vice-president; Ruby Webb, secretary; and Merle Thompson, treasurer. Second semester officers were Lawrence Duncan, presi- dent; Virginia Downs, vice-president; Ruby Webb, secre- tary; and Clarence Ridges, treasurer.

Molding its activities along the lines of its purpose, which is to create a firm and cooperative relationship among the students of Italian, and to further appreciation of the language through a study of its culture, literature, and customs. La Socleta Dante, sole col- legiate Italian society in California, follows a social and cultural program. First welcoming new members with a formal initiation ritual modeled on the first canto of Dante ' s Divine Comedy , the group proceeds to a pot-pourri of pleasant activity, all of which, except the outings, are in some way connected with Italy. Many outings have been taken this year, and needless to say, they were excellent. In the first semester, the members of La Socleta Dante chose as their leaders Charles Montecalvo, president; Esther Alberti, vice- president; Wooloomooloo Cleaves, secretary; Julia Fairbrother, treasurer; Vincent Di Giorgi, manager of publicity, and Hurley Talpis, historian.

RACQUETEERS With successful fall and spring all-college tennis tournaments featuring their program, the Racqueteers, campus tennis club, has experienced one of the most active years in its history. The highlight of the fall semester was the men ' s and women ' s tennis tournaments in which 64, including 10 faculty members, participated in the former division, while 16 co-eds played in their affair. Frank Stewart, tennis captain, defeated Jack Ryan in the men ' s finals, 6-0, 6-3, to win first honors. Playing a brilliant brand of tennis, Gertrude Schuize annexed the women ' s event by defeating Lorena Skinner in straight sets, 7-5, 6-1. The spring tournament was a repetition of the fall with Stewart again trouncing Ryan in the finals, 6-3, 6-1. By this victory, the winner had his name engraved on the Charles A. Ellis Perpetual Trophy. As this book goes to press the first annual all-college ping-pong tournament is drawing to a close. Over one hundred enthusiasts started play in this event. It threat- ens to become even more popular than tennis, judging by the enthusiasm shown by the participants. Ryan and Hilary Sweet capably managed the men ' s and women ' s divisions, respectively. The officers for the year were Frank Stewart, president; Bette Robbins and Floyd Joyer, vice-presidents; Jack Ryan, secretary; and Paul Benjamin, treasurer. Charles A.

Snyder, the 1934 Junior Campus stands as a permanent reminder of the school term just completed. Carrying out as its theme The Los Angeles Junior College , the newest yearbook has attempted to present a cross-sec- tion of college life, and to embody the spontaneous spirit always evident on the campus, that these may be forever perpetuated for students who are soon to be- come rulers of the nation. Drama Editor -.-r Assistant Drama Edi ' Romm, G. Assistant Copy Editor Jones Sports Editor To make the yearbook more truly a student project. Jack K. Jewett, executive editor, inaugurated the prac- tice of having all art work executed by students of the college. Especially interesting as innovations in this department are the pen and ink drawings made for the opening section by Juan Acevedo, and the four color plates drawn by different members of the art staff. For the further beautlficatlon of the book, curved layouts were used instead of the standard straight lines which have tended to give an air of rigidity to previous year- books. The cover design followed the same trend. Swenson Assistant Club Editor 119 ( JUNIOR x mff flf Copy Edi Wood Photography Editor Most important in the publication of this yearbook were Mr. Byron E.

Other divisional heads were Charles Jones, Terry Harmon, and Marjorie Phillips. 0t % 120 Assistant Editor and Business Manage CAMPUS The staff of the latest volume of Junior Campus has striven to continue the high standards created by former issues. In 1930 the initial edition of the book captured first place at the Southern California Junior College Press Association convention. All-American rating was won from the National Scholastic Press Association in 1931, and the following year this award was retained, while the Southern California Junior College title was reannexed. The 1933 Junior Campus met with the same success as its immediate predecessor. V r ik I 12! NEWS BUREAU The newly established News Bureau of the Col- lege was established to furnish metropolitan papers with news of the school. Organized as part of the Publications Department, the bureau was headed In the fall semester by Bill Kadlson. During the se- mester over 3300 inches of copy and photographs were accredited to this news service. Second semester activities under the direction of Lee Erdmann, former assistant under Kadlson, continued with much more stress on feature stories. Those who worked with Miss Erdmann were Seweli Knapp, sports editor; Ed Rogers, features; Marjorie Wood, drama; and Nolan McMillan, Henry Fuches, Jerome LuboviskI, and Leo Orr. HANDBOOK L. A. J. C. ' s student handbook, the erstwhile Alpha bible of the campus, has continued to serve the new students since Its inception in 1930. The issue that appeared In the fall of last year was edited and managed by Wallace Urquhart. Un- der him were three assistants, Marco Thorne, Irvin Levy, and Bee Roderick. The work involved the complete re-writing and re-sectioning of the book. Clarence Carlisle, in the spring semester, took over the work of editorship with Urquhart as busi- ness manager. Assisting Carlisle were Marjorie Ruess, Averill Pasarow, Irvin Levy and Irene Smith. Second semester work consisted of reapportion- ing the pages, revision and much copy re-writing. « 122 Hf PRESS BULLETIN Organized to supply community newspapers In and about Los Angeles with news of the College, the Press Bulletin staff was formed by Mrs. Kathryn Lambeau, Publications instructor. Under the leadership of Margaret Martin, the bulletin first worked in the Administration building and later moved to larger quarters in the Publica- tions building. The Press Bulletin is issued weekly and besides going to community papers, copies have been sent to metropolitan organs. News stories consist of features about students, news of group activities and stories concerning the type of work being done at the College. SPECTATOR Issued once each semester the Campus Spec- tator Is the means by which campus short-story, poetry, and play writers express their talents for the campus. Under the direction of Joseph John- son, English Instructor, the Spectator made Its ap- pearance in the form of 24 page mazazines. Ned Ramsay, in editing the first edition, empha- sized short stories, while Mario Talamantes, editor of second semester book did not put stress on any single subject. An Innovation this year has been the printing of foreign language articles in French, Italian and Spanish. George Papermaster acted as student advisor for the magazine. 123 PUBLICATION ' S SHOTS Lackner Manager of Publications In the past five years the Junior Collegian has won an array of awards for newspaper perfection that compares favorably with the accomplish- ments of any other department in the school. Collecting innumerable second and third place medals and ribbons, the staffs since 1929 boast fifteen first prizes in state competition, and four national recognition awards. In 1929 their only medal was for front page makeup. In 1931, at San Mateo, Los Angeles Junior College retained the front page prize and added sports page makeup honors. The following year they won front page makeup ribbons at Sacramento and Compton. In the same season they captured editorial and news story medals for first place. Winning the Trojan plaque the first two years it was presented, the paper received top rating for the best news story and front page makeup at Riverside in 1933. This last term, the paper won first place in news story, sports story, and front page makeup divisions. Jack Guenther, for two years, wrote the best news story submitted in state competition. The Col- legian ' s first national recognition was Excellent All-American rating by the National Scholastic Press Association in 1932. In 1933 it won Medalist ranking, the highest award given, from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and Pacemaker award. 124 Laying Out an Ad Guenther lanager of Publlcatii Designing the entire curricula of the depart- ment to represent a connplete newspaper office from news-gathering to the final publication of the paper, the Los Angeles Junior College press de- partment Is a practical training ground of the va- rious phases connected with journalism. Student participation in all fields including the final me- chanical phase of the work is emphasized in the policies of the department. Faculty supervision Is used only In advisory capacities In the publication of the bi-weekly paper, the yearbook, and Campus Spectator. Faculty Instruction is regulated In class hours to coordinate with shop work in preparing the publi- cations. The city room of the Collegian, the Jun- ior Campus office, the Advertising office, and the various news bureau desks serve as laboratories for publication students. The mechanical laboratory of the students Is the Collegian press room. One of the best equipped college newspaper shops in the state, the shop contains ail of the devices the average small-town newspaper estab- found ir llshment Tasks performed by student editors include the usual editorial duties. Likewise in the advertising and business offices students are assigned to all copy work, layout preparation, business administra- tion, and a general management of the paper and year book. In the short history of the campus, the success of the publications department can be judged only by the many successful newspaper men trained here and national awards accorded its work. Starting r 126 DRAMA -AN HISTORICAL BACKGROUND •i? When Los Angeles Junior College was established in 1929, Dr. Wil- liam H. Snyder organized a new type of professional curricula, designed to prepare the student, as nearly as possible, for his chosen line of work. So it was that Harold M.Turney, actor, director, and former stock producer, was chosen to instruct a single class of fifteen students of drama. From this start the department has developed to a company of more than two hundred actors and actresses under the instruction of Mr. Turney, Mr. Jerry Blunt, and Miss Julia Crary, a trio of professional stage veterans. To trace the history of drama on the Los Angeles Junior College campus is to re- count the short but brilliant career of the campus dramatics workshop. The scholastic side of the Little Theater is the fundamen- tal training received in the theater classes, which offer a dozen subjects ranging from pantomime and make-up to playwriting and direction. Students are privileged to use the Little Theater stage for class work, while the regular plays serve as laboratory experiments. Conducting the drama department on the premise that every student enrolled is planning to enter the professional world of the theater, the directors use the class roll-book as a casting list, choosing the actors on the same basis that a stock company producer selects his players from the group. Allowing from four to six weeks for rehearsals, the directorial trio this sea- son has filled a schedule of sixteen plays for both semesters, besides two Associated Student Body productions. Thus the drama shop plays a new full-length script alter- nate weeks in the Little Theater, with per- formances every afternoon of the week, and a Friday evening show. Using class work as background, and in cooperation with Mrs. Lois Waag Morgan, Art Department head, Turney uses students exclusively in practically every phase of play production. Faculty direction is added only a few days before the opening cur- tain to polish the piece. In this way, Tur- ney has bui lt a collegiate drama company that cannot be approached in quality or popularity by any two or four year college or university west of the Mississippi River, and rivaling the best established college groups in America. Sets a la Sterling Leach have become a definite pol- icy of the Little Theater. if ' fM ' i iM The Lit+le Theater proper is a strange room made into an almost ideal show house. Years ago, when Cali- fornia State Normal school and later the State univer- sity occupied the junior college campus, the Little The- ater was the girls ' gym. In 1930 a stage was built into the side of the room, making it into a theater far wider than it is deep; yet it is deep enough to carry the illusion of a full sized showhouse. In the rebuilding of the gymnasium into a theater, the shower rooms were transformed into men ' s make-up and dress- ing rooms; the old dressing rooms were made into the ladies ' make-up room. A section of the latter is given over to the wardrobe. An ideal effect is obtained in Turney ' s lighting sys- tem which has a cabin or box-like fixture built down about four feet from the ceiling housing eight spot- lights that cover the stage almost at actors ' level. Several floods , plus a half-dozen tiny spotlights from the top and a dimming system complete the lighting layout. There are no footlights, thus estab- lishing an audience contact so close that the players revel in the ease with which they can feel audience reaction. Besides the sixteen Little Theater productions, the Drama Department presented two Associated Student Body plays, with try-outs for the roles open to all A. S. B. card-holders, as well as aiding in giving the operetta. The first semester Sir James M. Barrie ' s What Every Woman Knows held the main stage spotlight. The spring play was Sidney hloward ' s Broadway success, The Late Christopher Bean . 129 WHAT EVERY Sparing no effort or expense in his production of Sir James M. Barrie ' s What Every Woman Knows, Director Harold M. Turney drew high praise from reviewers and faculty for the quality of the annual fall Associated Student Body play. Delicately revealing the Innermost emotions of Maggie Wylie, por- trayed by Sara Seegar, Barrle contrasts the simple Scottish Wylie family, father, daughter, and two sons, with the more polished, educated John Shand, and again draws a sharp distinction between the two Scottish factions and a trio of London social and political leaders. In an effort to satisfy Maggie Wylle ' s yearning for romance, Sid Roger, George Keyzers, and Charles Getts, in the roles of Aleck, the father, and David and James Wylie, the brothers, offer a loan to Kirk Lucas, In the role of John Shand, a young Scotch nobleman, to complete his education. The contract provides that he. In turn, shall marry Maggie at the end of five years if she so desires. Six years later John Shand Is elected to the English Parliament after a hard political battle. Even though Maggie tears up the contract, he marries her because it is my duty and I love no other woman. His 1 I L i 7% 1 S -- ' ; 1 Ah JHL ■•t ■ m :i rise In Parliament is phenonaenal. Maggie types his speeches for him, and without his suspecting it suggests bits of humor to polish his orations. A few weeks preceding the big speech of his career under the super- vision of the political leader, played by Jack Egan, he falls in love with Lady Sybil, Charlotte Evans, of the British aristocracy. Maggie cleverly breaks this triangle by having Lillian Targen, as the Comtesse, invite Shand and Lady Sybil to her beach cottage for two weeks. Maggie wins. John is tired of the English girl, and when neat, efficient Mrs. Shand steps into the picture with his speech re-typed, putting in the bits of quaint humor that he has been unable to effect, John Shand realizes that he really loves Maggie, the unattractive Scotch lass. In this role, Sara Seegar entrenched herself as the best actress on the campus. Lucas stands in the top half of men players. To Mrs. Lois Waag Morgan, Art Department head, goes credit for the artistic effects of What Every Woman Knows. Individual design credit is given Sterling Leach for sets and Ruth Zimmerman for costumes of the early nineteen hundreds. Al Grafton, as student director, shares the plaudits. WOMAN K MOWS The Com+esse ' s Cottage THREE CORNERED MOON Shades of the depression darken the Rinnplegar portals in the opening Little Theater production of the season, with Sara Seegar cast in the role of Mrs. Rimplegar. The wealthy family, having lost their riches through un- fortunate speculation, gradually develops a new sense of values. Immedi- ately they sober under the acute necessity of earning a livelihood. Gil Rankin, Charlotte Evans, and Freddie Freeman supply the eternal tri- angle , with Sherly Ford in the leading comedy part. IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN The Los Angeles Junior College Little Theater boasted a world pre- miere for the second production of the season. Professor Glen Hughes ' three-act comedy of a moving picture theater personnel and its Hollywood dreams was produced through the courtesy of the author, who is dean of drama at the University of Washing- ton. In the script, Ray Raty garners honors for his portrayal of a college instructor. Harry Carr and Jack Egan carried the remaining principal roles of the rather poorly written play. The premiere was witnessed by many screen studio leaders. JUNE MOON Atmosphere of New York ' s famous Tin Pan Alley penetrates Jerry Biunt ' s show-shop with the advent of the Broadway musical comedy, June Moon . Romantic adventures of a young lyricist hold the spotlight. When the Schenectady boy, Sherly Ford, does New York under the supervision of a sophisticated Broadway blonde, played by Marjorie Lawson, it is only the combined efforts of wistful Kay hlughes, small town girl, and Freddie Freeman, the cynical Jewish pianist, that save him. MADAME SAND The romance of the famous woman novelist. Madame Sand, served as the theme of Philip Moeller ' s gay cc of the nineteenth century. In the role of the eccentric authoress, Annette Arp played the feminine lead oppo- site characterizations of hHeine, Liszt, Chopin, De Musset, Buloza, and Pa- gello, the most brilliant minds of that day. Gladys Cogswell and hiarry Carr enacted principal roles in the comedy of Madame George Sand ' s many affairs and blase conduct that shocked all of Europe, hlistor- ically accurate, the piece proved classically popular. CHRIS Paintings ... by Chris Be. For the second Associated Student Body play of the year, Director Harold M. Turney chose Sidney Howard ' s comedy-drama of rural New England life, The Late Christopher Bean. With the plot taken from a French play, Howard in- serted Yankee characters and played upon universal hu- man emotions in his script that drew acclaim on Broad- way and later came west to local legitimate stages and Hollywood studios. Showing the greed of a New Eng- land family for wealth to be obtained through the sale of the paintings, long considered worthless, of the late Christopher Bean, the play centers about the sympathy and nobility of Abby, the family servant girl of the Haggetts. Dr. Haggett receives a telegram from Maxwell Daven- port, New York admirer of Christopher Bean. Mildly surprised, he promptly forgets the matter, but Is remind- ed of It with the visit of an old friend of his former patient, who has dropped In to pay a long-standing debt for the painter, and to take away with him any remaining works of the artist for the sake of their beautiful friend- ship. 134 When a New York art dealer calls, telling the sanne story, the doctor grows suspicious, and when Carrington Lewis, as Mr. Davenport, arrives, he discovers the real of the paintings, and the falsity of the friendships. Though fighting against his better judgment and moral code, the doctor plans to defraud Abby of the one large Bean picture known to exist. Failing in this through Abby ' s interruption as he Is about to sell the picture, hiaggett confesses the true ownership of the canvas. The happy ending is added when Abby reveals that she has seventeen of Christopher Bean ' s paintings, thought to have been destroyed, and as the curtain falls, admits that she is the widow of Christopher Bean, who has been dead for ten years. George Keyzers gave a complete and sustained char- acterization which has been equalled only twice In the entire year, while Maxine Barraclough, as Abby, was superior to the average colleglenne performer. Gareth Goldberg and Carrington Lewis deserve praise, with Kay Hughes, Doug Tiffany, Myrtle Radach, Syd Cohen, and Rosalind Buckley completing the cast. Long Distance . . . and Art BEAN Chris Bean ' s Abby ■THE ENEMY Melodrama took front and center with the modern production, Channing Pollock ' s peace-propaganda script, The Enemy . Building the plot in a nonexistent country, Jerry Blunt, director, used a new interpretation in the presentation of the powerful drama. Following his custom of bringing all scripts into as nearly modern production as possible, Mr. Blunt presented a play of war in the future, and a fictitious n ation, instead of the World War and the German kingdom, about which it was originally written. As an experiment, it was in- teresting and different. Bill Candee and Sareth Goldberg received praise of the critics for their sincere performances. You Damned Rich GREASY SPOON Villagers of an ancient town produced a tale of love and witchcraft in the colorful English comedy, At the Sign of the Greasy Spoon . Bill Candee, in the role of the pompous syndic, loved all the citizens , and kissed babies before elections, hlis love woes in courting the pretty Mistress Trencher, played by Maxlne Barraclough, were cleverly interwoven with the witch- craft of the scheming Dr. Bombastes and honorable city surgeon, George Keyzers. Carrington Lewis, in the role of Dr. Bom- bastes, cured three beggars of their sup- posed ailments to win the university award. When his trickery was discovered, Bom- bastes was In a foreign country, and by vil- lage proclamation, the university bestowed honors upon the city surgeon. To save the ballad-monger, a roving singer rivaling the syndic in love affairs, from the gibbet. Mis- tress Trencher declared her love for him. The syndic was assured his political position, and all characters were well pleased with life at the final curtain. The single mad comedy of the season, Sign of the Greasy Spoon was comparable only to last year ' s Gammar Gurton ' s Needle , with no other rivalry in the history of the campus. 136 ' ■ROMEO AND JULIET Lauded as the most advanced piece of drama yet presented on the Little Theater stage, Romeo and Juliet , the third play of the first half of the season, was the third Shakespearian production given on the campus. Following a play reading of Mac- beth last fall, and a fully costumed pre- sentation of Much Ado About Nothing last spring, Jerry Blunt attempted the first Shakespearian tragedy with the story of the two lovers of Venice. Elaborately staging Romeo and Juliet on the two separate platform style that proved so successful in Much Ado About Nothing, the director used modern interpretation, though not as striking as in Hamlet. Veteran collegian players carried the principal roles, initiating younger dramatists Into stage technique in smaller parts. Sara Seegar stood alone as the most accomplished feminine player of the cast. A half dozen men merited recog- nition for well-developed and sustained characterizations. Charles Getts, Gareth Goldberg, and George Keyzers gave the better performances, with Tommy Dixon, Jack Egan, and Bill Candee completing the sextet. In the role of Mercutio, Charles Getts gave the most professional performance. THE NINTH GUEST Relying en the suspense created and maintained throughout the action of the play, the campus Plays and Players offered The Ninth Guest, a mystery thriller. Building the plot around the emotional hatred of a single man, Henry Abbott, portrayed by Ray Raty, the author slowly murders his characters, each In a different, strange man- ner. The story is of a society dinner party held in a luxurious penthouse by a host unknown to his eight guests. Step by step, as the plot pro- gresses, Death, the ninth guest of the party, finally holds the stage as the curtain falls. Myrtle Radach, Sid Roger, Norton Sussman, Marge Lowrance, Kay Hughes, Syd Cohen, and Al VV ' ootten were guests. 137 OUR AMERICAN COUSIN The revival of Our American Cousin , a slapstick story of a Yankee ' s boisterous sojourn in London, drew the same response that made it Abraham Lincoln ' s favorite play. Charles Getts in the leading role shared character honors with Sara Seegar while principal supporting roles were carried by Tommy Nichol, Tommy Dixon, Sid Roger, and Jack Egan opposite Dorothy Farrell and Marge Lowrance. SPRING O ' THE YEAR Offering no more than characterization possibilities, a delightful Scotch romance, Spring o ' the Year , comes as a relief from a long series of dynamic productions. Boasting the smallest cast of the year, the quaint story of two dour old Scotsmen, finally brought together by their children ' s love, features Tommy Dixon, Bill Candee. and Dorothy Farrell in the more applauded roles. HE The strange story of a group of scientists and their attempts to disprove the existence of God was presented by the Plays and Players with Bill Candee in the leading role of He. As an insane man, Candee declares him- self God so convincingly that the educated men drop their hilltop experiments only to discover the truth of the man who claimed divine powers. ADAM KILLED HIS SON Several years ago a German court tried a peasant for the murder of his renegade son. A novelist set the pro- ceedings down as a short story. This season Bernard Rosenhouse reconstructed the entire case for the Little Theater stage. Sid Roger, in the tragic part of Adam, the father, and Doug Tiffany, as the son, presented impres- sionistic portrayals of the dramatic piece. MUD IN YOUR EYE Four Broadway musical comedy hoofers Invaded dear old Yarnell campus to drink a toast of milk to college spirit and establish a speakeasy in Florence Baer ' s orig- inal musical comedy, Mud In Your Eye . With the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment Gil Rankin, Billy Coe, Al- thea Wright and Kay Green find themselves in a small col- lege town of typical hayseeds after a sheriff ' s attach- ment warrant had closed their Broadway show. To their joy, however. Congress decreed It Illegal to use milk In any form, so the quartette opened their speak . In three acts the Broadway musical comedians changed Yarnell from a hick town and school where students played Where ' re You From? and ran outside to look at an airplane to a live campus of mllk-drlnking, esklmo-pie loving dancers so anxious to save their alma mammy that they decided to produce a show to pay off the mortgage. At dress re- hearsal the quartette ' s former director saw the show and promised to take It to Broadway. Of the featured num- bers, Mack Groher ' s Garlique song, Syd Cohen ' s pro- fessorship , and Kay Green ' s comedy proved hits of the season. WILLOW TREE A Japanese fantasy, Willow Tree, presented Billy Coe and Sara Seegar In the romantic leads; the former as the jilted English lover and the latter as an Oriental Image come to life. Their Ideal relationship was rudely interrupted by his former fiancee who seeks to mend their differences. A happy ending Is brought about through the image ' s return to stone, leaving the young English couple to resume their courtship. HAMLET Climaxing the fifth season of Little Theater activities, Shakespeare ' s immortal script of the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet, was presented in the modern manner which has found high favor with Little Theater audiences. To lovers of drama, the story of the youthful Dane sacrificing everything, even to his own life, In seeking to avenge the mur- der of his father by an uncle is ever new because of the various Interpretations given the vitally hu- man characters created by the Bard of Avon. Carefully prepared for presentation, the play was rehearsed with a double cast for the greater part of the semester by Jerry Blunt, and produced with the better cast. As finally shown, Hamlet presented both George Keyzers and Tommy Dixon In the title role, the former for the first four performances in a semi-classical rendition, and the latter In a collegiate interpretation for the later showings. Maxine Barraclough played the feminine lead, Ophelia, while Charles Setts, as Poionius, was highly praised. The king and queen were enacted by Gil Rankin and Mary Shipp, with Billy Coe and Carrlngton Lewis, in the roles of Horatio and Laertes, completing the cast. WHISTLING IN THE DARK One of the major productions of the year, Whist- ling in the Dark , Broadway stage comedy, was pre- sented to Little Theater audiences with Tommy Dixon cast in the leading role made famous by Ernest Truex. Playing the part of a timorous author of murder ° ' ' ° ' ° mysteries, Dixon is captured by gangsters and forced to concoct a perfect crime foi the murder of a beer baron Finally, by Ingeniously con necting a radio and tele . phone together, the hero sue ceeds, with the aid of hi: fiancee.

Dr. Edmund A. Cykler, head of the music department, conducts the orchestra. Some sixty players form the nucleus of this organized unit, which comes together daily with the sole intent of serious study. The study plan of this group includes practically every form of orchestral music, ranging from Ihe strictly classical to the present day composer. In this manner, the student is given the opportunity to acquaint himself with every form of recorded manuscript. The symphony orchestra activities included many on and off-campus appearances. Monday Musicales, radio broadcasts and graduation recitals are among the public appearances this organization made. Accompaniments for the operas and oratorios presented by the music department were played by the orchestra. Many churches have claimed the presence of the organization for playing accompaniments to oratorios. Every year, the orchestra Is represented at a conclave of selected musicians from all the colleges in Southern California. An orchestral concert is presented at the convention, usually held at Santa Barbara. At this year ' s convention, Francis Meyers, Norman Rosenblatt, Jacob Oyer, Leonard Ratner, Robert Lowen- thal, Rudolph Stangler and Albert Glasser won honors for Los Angeles Junior College. SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA Rosenblatt, Cle Composed of the cream of stringed instru- ment performers, the Los Angeles Junior College string ensemble has concluded its third year under the direction of Mrs. Elizabeth Ruppeck Peterson, solfeggio and string Instrument instructor. The ensemble provides the student with an op- portunity to study both serious and lighter music literature, thus giving him a more rounded and complete music education. During the year, the ensemble has appeared at each night performance In the Little Theatre, has played for a series of March Lectures, as well as on Monday Muslcales, radio programs and dinners. An outgrowth of the string ensemble Is the violin choir, a group founded to study the literature writ- ten solely for the violin. The organization consists of four violins and piano accompaniment. Interest In this organization resulted In the or- ganization of the college string quartet, composed of Francis Meyers and Norman Rosenblatt, violin- ists; Melvin Mesirow, viollst, and Gretchen Kevhny, cellist. Monday Muslcales programs are one of the media for expression of this group which con- centrated on the works of Beethoven and Haydn. Mrs. Peterson directs and Instructs the string quartet and choir, as well as the regular string group. STRING ENSEMBLE 145 Organized for the sole purpose of serious study, as well as spreading good cheer throughout campus life, the band has been an active group since the first years of this Institution ' s existence. The band Includes per- formers well trained In the various woodwind and brass Instruments, who come together as a unit to study both serious and lighter literature. Much credit Is due the organization for its support at the various athletic contests. Band members paraded In new uniforms during the football games of the last year. The new ensembles consisted of red and blue capes, white caps, and white flannel trousers. Interest at the ice hockey games and championship basketball games was Increased by the presence of the Cub band. During the latter part of May, the band appeared en mass at the Coliseum In connection with the Western Division Dual meet. Student rallies and assemblies provided the band with opportunities to appear before the students, at which time college melodies as well as the more well known works of prominent composers were played. The annual A. M.S. Circus was another of the promi- nent functions in which the band played an important part. Radio programs and other off-campus appear- ances were on the band ' s calendar. The band Is directed by Leroy W. Allen. Student directors were Harold Shapiro and Willard Goerz. Drum majors included Robert Klber, John Aber, Girard hlan- ford and David Krelss. BAND 146 A CAPPELLA CHOIR Growing steadily both In quantity and quality, the Junior College A Cappella Choir is rapidly establishing itself as the outstanding choral group throughout the state of California. The choir is ably guided by Ralph J. Peterson, vocal Instructor and well known choral con- ductor throughout Los Angeles. Coming together as one unit, for the sole purpose of the study of the standard literature, in conjunction with hard work and a spirit of good will at all times, the group has made steady progress. Defenders of the Southern California Choral Trophy won at the University of Redlands in 1933, the choir par- ticipated in the elimination during the past semester The list of outside activities includes numerous engage- ments at the many churches and over the radio, a broad- cast with Mary Pickford over the N.B.C. network, the presentation of the Bach Christmas Oratorio, the par- ticipation in the Bach St. Mathew Passion with John Smallman and his oratorio chorus, and the rendering of a mass by Frank Colby, heard for the first time. The most recent achievement of the group was their appear- ance at the Philharmonic Auditorium, with the Philhar- monic Orchestra, at a children ' s concert. First semester officers were George Tibbies, president; Alex Forbes, manager; Virginia Johnston, secretary- treasurer. Second semester heads were Hal WIdney, president; Alex Forbes, manager; Virginia Johnston, sec- retary-treasurer. MEN ' S CHANTERS Organized last semester, the Men ' s Chanters have en- joyed a successful career as melody-makers both on the campus and off. Though a small group, It has attained campus fame in Its brief life. The membership, thirty-two men, is divided Into three divisions; the deep voices, the mellow tones, and the soft, light, melodious tones of the baritones. Their ren- ditions include songs of the chantey, ballad, and pep song style. The semester ' s activities are climaxed by a stag In the form of a theater and dinner party. Officers of the spring semester were Alex Forbes, president; Carl Robertson, vice-president; Al Meggett, secretary-treasurer, and hiarry hlolloway, librarian. Mar- ion Pearlman was accompanist. George Tibbies managed the group In Its first semester. 2 — FInlayson, Forness, Lawrence, Untermeyer Holloway, Kaye, RIckards, Nueman, Max ' fv Row I— Pucbtt, Halllsy, Donker, Frazier, Jaderquist, Perkings, Medz, Davis.

WOMEN ' S ENSEMBLE Organized to replace the Arion Club, or the Glee Club, the Women ' s Vocal Ensemble participates in various student programs, public appear- ances before churches and civic clubs, and on radio programs. Achieve- ments of the group compare favorably with those of other harmony or- ganizations in the outstanding Music Department of the College and the Ensemble has acquired an enviable reputation in college music circles. Credit for the success of the Women ' s Vocal Ensemble must go to Miss Eva M. Jaderquist, faculty director in charge of the club. Miss Jader- quist conducts the tryouts through which members are chosen, and also trains the women in the rendition of their numbers. Student manager last term was Ruth Vincent. 149 The premier western amateur performance of Sigmund Romberg ' s colorful operetta of student life at Heidelberg was given as the annual spring musical on the campus when Harold Turney supervised the production of the Student Prince. Years ago, Myer-Foerster set the German story Alt Heidelberg to stage movement. Later it was translated into English, and in 1925 Sigmund Romberg penned the musical score for the piece to a script and lyrics written by Dorothy Donnelly. It opened on Broadway, and for nine years has played exclusively to professional legiti- mate stage audiences. This year Turney obtained rights for production of the piece through special arrangement with the Schuberts and Samuel French of New York City. The script is not unusual in its story. A German prince, accompanied by his tutor, journeys to Heidelberg to attend the university. Immediately taken into the Duel- ing Corp, he becomes a popular member of the Heidel- berg students. Falling in love with Kathie, bar-maid of the university cafe, the young prince finds that one of royal blood cannot marry outside his social class, and is summoned back to a royal wedding by castle attendants. 150 mm May I have this dance? Repeal in a big wa OPERA Prince Karl Franz, leading role of The Student Prince, was carried by Seth Bryant. In the royal role, Bryant established himself as the outstanding campus singer. Mildred Smith was cast opposite the prince as Kathie, while Virginia Bardeen played the part of the princess who finally marries Karl Franz. In supporting roles Gil Rankin as the faithful tutor was friend and advisor to the prince during his short Heidelberg career. Comedy leads were carried by Charles Getts and Jean hlulke. Getts, seen on the campus Little Theater stage many times heretofore, again displayed the ability to step com- pletely out of his own character to creore a distinctly different personage for the stage. Gareth Goldberg, Tommy Dixon, Doug Tiffany, and Tom Nicoll were par- ticularly prominent In smaller parts of The Student Prince. The production was under the direction of Harold furney, assisted by Mrs. Lois Waag Morgan, art depart- ment chairman, and Dr. Edmund A. Cykler of the music department. Jerry Blunt was in charge of make-up, while Italje Terrlle was student director. In the past four years the annual spring musicals have been particularly colorful, with The Student Prince as the most lavish presentation in campus history. 151 e. the almighty Lutz ilL 152 FORE N S ICS NATIONAL SPEECH The forensic department, although one of the smallest sections in college, usually averaging a roll-call book of twenty signa- tures, continually sponsors innumerable ora- torical contests and debate tournaments between the various classes, clubs, and league schools. In local, state, and national competition L. A. J. C. speakers have es- tablished an enviable record. In the past season Coach Edmund W. Doran ' s squad won first place in formal oratory at the In- dependence, Kansas, Phi Ro Pi National speech tournament, and third place in the debate division. The group won the Pa- cific Southwest Debate Championship, pre- paring both teams for the final round which was given over radio station KECA. In the fall semester the speakers won the Los Angeles Junior College Invitational Speech Tournament from representatives of more than a dozen junior colleges and uni- versities from over the entire state. The feat was repeated in the local spring tour- nament when more than forty speakers registered from the formal oratory, debate, and impromptu speaking contests. The In- vitation Tournament closed the season. 154 On the campus there are three distinct active extra-curricula groups which, through consistently praise-worthy work, have es- tablished themselves in intra-college and inter-scholastic circles as leaders in their chosen divisions of campus life. The pub- lications, publishers of the Campus and Collegian, the Dramatic, sponsor of Little Theater and A. S. B. semi-annual stage pro- ductions and the Debate departments have contributed freely to the local trophy cases in the five years that Los Angeles Junior college has been In existence. CHAMPIONS 155 Unique in its purpose, the speech correction course organized by J. Richard Bietry, of the College English Department, has beconne nationally famous. Regarding the voice apparatus as a complex me- chanical organism, Bietry bases his entire course on the adjusting of various parts of the machine that have either become broken or are defective. Bietry esti- mates that approximately 75 students overcome speech defects each semester as a result of following his course. Because of the many benefits to be derived from the course, Bietry has made no requirements of pre-requi- sites. By special dispensation of the Los Angeles Board of Education, the course has been opened to persons not regularly enrolled in the College, but who have a speech defect that they wish corrected. Because of his work, Bietry has been made a mem- ber of the executive council of the National Associa- tion of Teachers of Speech. He is the only junior col- lege instructor in the country to be on the council. Bietry has written a number of magazine articles on speech correction. DEBATE AND ) ART ► 156 Aside from his speech correction class, J. Richard Bietry, College English instructor, devoted much of his time this past semester to the presentation of a number of radio programs given by his students over radio sta- tion KECA. The programs, presented under the auspices of the Association of the Improvement of American Speech, were a part of a series given by various divisions of this associati on. James Handley, student announcer, headed a group of students who presented readings, short plays, and talks on various phases of speech. Outstanding among the work done by students was the talk by Patricia Sta- men, on College Slanguage, presented on the last of four programs. Appearing on the first of the four broadcasts were Morris Joseph, Rose Blossom, and Bietry. Charles Getts and Florence Tobin featured the second program. Gareth Goldberg and Sophia Raffel appeared on the third program. Besides Miss Stamen, Myron Gorell and Morris Joseph appeared on the final broadcast. vMCROPHONE STS 157 WOIUEN t W. A.

Among the other outstanding players were Jean Bardeen, Dorothy Diamond, Joan Hoyt, Bette Rob- bins, Clarice Short, Lorena Skinner, Anne Snowden and Dorothy Steinman. 165 TUMBLING With Miss Evelyn Woodroof, recent addition to the college women ' s coaching staff as a coach, W.A.A. tum- bling proved to be a very popular sport this year. The season was drawn to a close with a contest between the Nimbles and the Nameless team, with the latter win- ning the contest. A team was chosen according to indi- vidual ability and consisted of Nellie Veach, Louise Cooley, Katherine hloldstock, Virginia Malholm, Helen Stark, Christina St. Clair, and Mary Alice Thrasher. 166 BASEBALL Baseball, or the national pastime, was another of the sports upon which the women students focused attention. A double round-robin tournament among the four classes was conducted during the last ten weeks of the school year. Team captains were Louise hiermlnghaus, Gamma- Trl-Delta; Bernlce Hutchinson, Deltas; Anna Baker, Betas; Anne Snowden, Alphas. Practice sessions were held every afternoon except Fridays with Coaches Edith M. Clark and Dorothy Stin- son in charge. More than fifty women followers of the sport engaged in the practice sessions, as well as the tournament. 4f r ! DANCING Many women found the W.A.A. dancing to be most Interesting and practical. Miss Leona A. PInder, assisted by Evangeline Keenan, was student leader. Members of the first W.A.A. dancing team were Jessie Sregor, Kathar- ine Holdstock, Leora Lathrop, Agnes Lowe, Elizabeth Lowe, Elladean Miller, Margaret Peterson, Mary Quirk, hlerta RIchter, Mary Alyce Thrasher, Geneoah Toot, Ruth Wilson, and Nellie Beech. SPEEDBALL In the Inter-class speedball tournament the Deltas and the Gamma-Trl-Deltas emerged victorious. The Deltas were B. Hutchinson, captain; V. Atherton, P. Chamber- lain, E. Eddy, M. Fawley, M. Granillo, M. Greenwalt, E. Haskell, W. Hassard, D. Laho, E. Lee, H. Macomb, and L. Schlmmel. The Gamma-Trl-Deltas were F. Jones, captain; J. Bar- deen, M. Cook, M. Farr, E. Gluck, B. Harrison, L.

Boyish escorts, ultra- sophisticated collegiennes, suave campus men, and giggling co-eds whirl past the open arched windows in a rapid parade of style and color, a Icaledioscopic view of college social hours. Semester after semes- ter students race through the social hours of college life. There is a sharp division between class hours and off-campus eve- nings. 170 Barring upper-classmen from the floor, the firsf semester students usually break the Ice in the long march of campus eve- ning affairs. The semi-annual Alpha dance steps Into the popularity limelight of the season along with the innumerable other dances sponsored by upper-classmen, spe clal organlaztions and the Associated Stu dent Body. Shortly after the new stu dents ' first evening of college social life Betas announce their semi-annual frolic The long line of events swings into move ment as the season ' s activities gain mo- mentum. Slowly at first, and then rapidly arrang- ing two or three proms for the same week end, college dance-masters literally fill the year for the socially minded students In off-campus and after-class hours. Gam- mas, Engineers, the Y , and several Stu- dent Body proms vie for campus favor. Deltas polish off the season with their tra- ditional dinner-dance. As in the case of the Alpha evening event, the graduating students admit only class members. With an array of proms rivaling univer- sity social rites, L. A. J. C. balances the scholastic side of campus life through a well rounded program of dances and so- cials and laughter filled hours that can never be relived or replaced. Alone Togothe Sports and formal prom- enades have consistently proved the popularity of evening dance parades. Un- der the supervision of the A. S.

Class and activity barriers that divide the campus Into so many sections of specialized work are taboo as the dance chair- man announces a cheat, and representatives of all phases of the college ' s curricula blend Into a single con- fetti-covered troop of dancers slipping through intricate steps over the smooth floor. A worthy innovation that has become immensely popu- lar on the campus is the afternoon dance. There was seldom a week on the campus calendar that did not list from one to three after school frolics guiding the stu- dents directly from class hours onto the smooth floor of either the campus ballroom or Rainbow Gardens. Be- sides the many dances sponsored by the Associated Stu- dent Body through the Executive Council, the majority of the forty college clubs and fifteen honor societies set dates for afternoon frolics to close the weeks Friday af- ternoons.

Although he was watched carefully by the op- position In every game during the season because of winning all-confer- ence honors the previous year, hlall turned in a consistent game that was instrumental in helping Los Angeles in its successful title quest. 189 WHAT SEEMS TO BE! WESTERN DIVISION CH Opening the 1933 football season with a well-balanced team and high hopes for their first championship, the Cub eleven, under the mentor- ship of Coach Glenn Ackerman, held the strong California freshmen to a 16-0 score in a pre-season game at Berkeley on September 23. An air-tight defense that kept the Los Angeles gridders in check throughout the game while the of- fense was piling up 16 points was responsible for the frosh victory. The only time the Crimson and Blue team threatened was in the fourth quarter when a pass from Art Rabbit Mc- Neely to Joe Jacobs netted 60 yards to the frosh 8 yard line, where Ed Battistessa fumbled on the next play. California scored nine of its points In the first quarter and the other seven In the third quarter. Early in the contest Williams, Cub fullback, was tackled behind his own goal line after a bad pass from center and gave the frosh Its first two points. Near the end of the quarter Bill Kirk- man, California quarterback, ran 10 yards around his own right end for the first touchdown. Randall convert- ed for the extra point. KIrkman again scored for the Call- fornians midway In the third quarter, with Randall kicking the extra point. A Cub rally in this period was stopped on the frosh 30 yard line. Deterrnlned to take revenge for the defeat by the Bruin ' s big broth- er the week before, the Crimson and Blue eleven outclassed the West- wood frosh 6-0 in a scrimmage on the loser ' s gridiron on September 28. The Cubs scored the only touch- down of the game in the third quar- ter after Batty Battistessa and Chat Berry had carried the ball on a sus- 190 ARE YOU MOUTH HAPPY? ' v PIONS PASS IN REVIEW tained drive to the Bruin ' s two-foot line. After being held twice for no gain, the Cubs finally managed to cross the goal line for the touch- down. In the opening conference football game of the season on October 7, Coach Glenn Ackerman ' s Crimson and Blue team downed the scrappy Glendale Buccaneers 7-0 on the let- ter ' s field in a game which featured strong defenses but weak offenses of the two teams. Glendale was given an excellent chance to score after recovering a Cub fumble of a punt on the 5 yard line. With four downs in which to gain the five yards, the Bucs shot everything they had at the Cub line which stood as a stone wall, but were unable to score. The deciding factor of the game came in the final quarter after George Smith, Glendale punter whose kicks had held Los Angeles from penetrating scoring territory all afternoon, had been half-carried from the field. Arleigh Bentley, sub for Smith, standing on his own 22 yard line, attempted to punt his team out of danger, but his kick was blocked by the entire Cub line with Los Angeles recovering. Three line plunges by Batty Battistessa, a 9 yard run by Kraft, and then a pass to Berry put the ball on the Buc 5 yard marker. Bat- tistessa then hit the line for the score with Captain hlall converting to safely start the Cubs on their march for their first Western division cham- pionship. Outplaying the Pirates throughout a hard-fought and bitter game and threatening their goal line on three different occasions, the Crimson and 191 HAPPY LANDINGS! Blue eleven was held to a 0-0 dead- lock by a light but aggressive Ven- tura team on the Cub field on Oc- tober 14. Although scoring ten first downs to Ventura ' s six and making a total of 208 yards from scrimmage to the Pirates ' 83, Los Angeles was unable to score, due to fumbles and the ir ability of the ends to hold onto pe fectly executed forward passes. How- ever, on defense, the Cub ends, Shutz and Perrin, were standouts stopping the Pirate backs time and again. Bob Edwards, who played right guard for the Cubs, was the outstanding defense man on the field, executing perfect tackles and block- ing superbly. The Cubs threatened to score in the second quarter when a Pirate back fumbled on his own 19 yard line, but Los Angeles was unable to penetrate the stubborn Ventura for- ward wall. Again in the second half the Los Angeles offense started to click with Ed Batty Battistessa and Chet Berry advancing the ball to the 10 yard mark, where the Pirate defense tightened and held. Both teams, in their last futile at- tempts to score, tried field goals in the last quarter. Standing on the 18 yard line, Phillips, Cub halfback, tried a placement which went wide. A few minutes later Kalies, Ventura half, tried the same play from the 35 yard stripe but the ball fell short of the distance. A sweeping offense which com- pletely overwhelmed the Vikings was displayed as the powerful Cubs con- tinued on toward conference honors by smothering Long Beach 22-0, on October 21, on the Vermont field. Heretofore regarded as offensive 192 THE OLD VARSITY TRY, BOYS! wonders between the 20 yard stripes though lacking in goal line punch, the Cubs suddenly came to life, unleashing a vicious attack in the personages of Ed Battlstessa, Don Williams, and Chet Berry. This trio, combined with the unerring work of their team-mates on the line, proved that the Crimson and Blue was the team to beat for the Western divi- sion championship. Los Angeles opened up a power- ful attack In the latter part of the first quarter with Batty finally scoring on a plunge over center from the 5 yard line. Phillips ' attempt- ed conversion was wide. In the third session a 45 yard drive by the locals ended on the Viking 6 yard stripe, but on the next play a horde of Cubs broke through to tackle Moss, Viking halfback, behind the goal line for two more points. In the fourth quarter, an alert Cub defense drowned the last hopes of a Viking victory when fleet-footed Phillips, sub half, rambled 60 yards to another touchdown after inter- cepting a Viking pass. Phillips then converted, adding 7 points, and mak- ing the score I 5-0. A few minutes later, Washington, Cub guard, duplicated Phillips ' feat when he Intercepted another pass and ran 45 yards to the third and final touchdown of the day. Parman added the extra point. An offense that started with the second play of the game, when Chet Berry threw a long pass to Levant Perrin who crossed the goal line, and ended late In the last quarter when Don Williams crashed the center of the Bulldog line to score their third touchdown brought the Cubs from under a jinx that has been bothering 193 YOU MAY THINK HE ' S BATTY — SO DO WE local football teams for three years. The game was played at Pasadena, and the Crimson and Blue returned with a 19-7 victory. The first score, which was the most spectacular of the Cub season, came on the second play of the game. After a try at the center of the line had netted 3 yards, Chet Berry took the ball on a reverse and threw a 30 yard pass to Perrin, who, standing all alone on the Pasadena 15 yard line, caught the ball and trotted the remaining distance for the first touchdown. Kraft failed to convert. It was not long until Los Angeles again had Pasadena backed up deep in its own territory, and in the sec- ond quarter Ed Battistessa crashed through the opponent ' s line from the 6 yard stripe to score the twelfth point of the day. Kraft again failed to add the extra point to the score. But the Bulldogs are known as fighters, and several runs and a long pass put the ball on the Los Angeles 1 1 yard marker with a first down. Two penalties of 5 yards each placed the ball on the 1 yard mark, and the Bulldogs had a first down. On the fourth attempt, a sneak by Wylie, Pasadena fullback, put the ball over for the first points to be scored against the Cubs in con- ference competition this year. However, the Cubs were not through yet. Taking the ball on his own 3 yard line, Battistessa punt- ed to Mecherle who fumbled and Washington, local guard, recovered on the Bulldog 36 yard mark. After battering his way through the Pasa- dena line, Williams finally took the ball over for the third and final Cub touchdown of the contest. 194 HEY! GIVE ME THAT SHOE Affer trailing 6-0 at the end of the first quarter, the Los Angeles gridders showed that they could come back by piling up a 20-6 vic- tory over Santa Monica in the fifth conference ganne of the season on the Corsair gridiron November 4. A beautiful 32 yard pass from Capt. Donny Fowler, Santa Monica quarterback, to Donatoni, left end, midway in the opening period, put the ball on the Cub 2 yard line from where Merritt scored two plays later. A pass conversion failed. With Don Williams, hard-hitting fullback, doing most of the work, Los Angeles went 61 yards to tie the score in the second quarter, Williams going over from the 2 yard line. Kraft failed to convert, so the first half ended with a 6-6 tie. Aaron Phillips intercepted a Santa Monica pass in the fourth quarter to give the Cubs the ball on the Corsair 30 yard line. A few plays later Battistessa crashed over from the 3 yard line after having done most of the ball carrying from the 30 yard stripe. Biff Edwards, Cub right guard, intercepted another Corsair pass two minutes later, making a beautiful 25 yard runback to the Corsair 4 yard line from where Batty again scored. Phillips, sub half, converted after each of the two touchdowns scored in this period. Displaying a stubborn defense in- stead of a flashy offense as expected, the highly-touted Bakersfield Rene- gades held the powerful Cub team to a 7-7 tie on November 10 on the local turf in a spectacular game that failed to determine the football championship of Central and South- ern California. 195 A SLIPPERY ONE FOR THE OILERS Coach Glenn Ackerman started his shock troops which held the Renegades until the second quarter when Bob Morelli, speedy Bakersfield halfback, took the ball on a double- lateral pass play and raced 70 yards to a touchdown with Cub tacklers vainly trying to catch hinn. Voorhles then added the extra point. This run was the only threat Bakersfield made during the entire ganne. At the beginning of the second half, the Crimson eleven drove 30 yards down the field to the I yard line where Batty Battistessa, the outstanding back on the field, plunged over for the only Cub touch- down of the game. Then, with a tie or defeat depending on his kick, Phillips booted a perfect goal to tie the score. The Los Angeles eleven had three other opportunities to score, but each time fate favored the Bakersfield team. Entering the game as the winners of the Western division football cham- pionship, the Los Angeles eleven, suf- fering from over-confidence and the jinx which the Tartars have held over the local team for three years, was fortunate to hold the Compton team to a 0-0 deadlock in the final con- ference game, played on the Ver- mont gridiron on November 18. Los Angeles was too sure of the game and failed to show its custom- ary punch, while the Tartars displayed a polished offense and a real threat in the personage of Sonny Valen- zuela, shifty quarterback. Only in the second period did the Cubs have the upperhand. Starting from its own 36 yard line, the Crim- son and Blue team advanced the ball to Compton ' s 18 yard line. On the 196 THAT ' S NOT THE PIGSKIN! next play the Cubs fumbled with the Tartars recovering. Before the first half ended, Young intercepted a pass which he later fumbled with Kraft recovering and running to the Tartar 5 yard line. This threat was soon stopped by a penalty and then a fumble. Compton threatened to score late in the final session when the Tartars traveled down the field from its own 43 yard line to the locals ' 9 yard line. With Valenzuela carrying the ball, the Tartars made a desperate at- tempt to score but failed by inches. On the first down Valenzuela drove to the 3 yard line, on the next down to the 1 1 2 yard line, and on the third down to the 6 inch line. With but time for one more play Valen- zuela, on the last down, rammed his head into a stone wall, failing to gain those last precious six inches. ROSENBAUM This exciting play closed the sea- son ' s schedule with the Los Angeles team being undefeated in conference competition. Unleashing a powerful and accu- rate aerial attack which accounted for four touchdowns, the Los Angeles gridders completely overwhelmed the heretofore undefeated Taft Terriers 32-0 in a Thanksgiving feature on the Cub field. The first touchdown came in the latter part of the first quarter as the result of a long pass from Bat- tistessa to Perrin, lanky end. Again, In the second quarter, Battlstessa hurled the pigskin to Olson who was downed on the 23 yard line. From here Kraft, Battistessa, and Williams alternated In carrying the ball with Williams crashing over for the touch- down. 197 STRIVE VALIANTLY! In the third quarter Chet Berry passed to Shutz for a 40 yard gain and a touchdown. Coach Ackerman Inserted his second string Into the fray In the last quarter, and they proved to be very stalwart substi- tutes, for they proceeded to add 14 more points to the already large score. Losing the Southern California junior college championship by a sin- gle point, the Los Angeles Crimson eleven was defeated by the Santa Ana Dons, 7-6, In the conference play-off game on December 9 on the Vermont gridiron. In the second quarter Welty passed to Gunther who caught the pigskin in the end zone for a touch- down. Welty booted a perfect con- version to earn the extra point. The Cubs made a determined drive In the last quarter, the ball being put in scoring territory by a 3 I yard pass. After the Cub backs had ad- vanced the ball to the I yard line. Ed Battlstessa went over for the score. Arno Spragia failed to con- vert. This play-off game closed the 1933 season for Los Angeles, which won the Western Division Championship. In junior college competition the Cubs scored I 13 points to their op- ponents ' 27. The following men received letters for the 1933 season: Battlstessa, Ber- ry, Burbeck, Chabre, Dalton, Dir, Ed- wards, Gregory, hiall, Hokans, Kawa- saki, Jacobs, Kraft, McSheffery, Ol- son, Parman, Perrin, Phillips, Resnlk, Reynolds, Rosenbaum, Spragia, Shutz, Washington, Waxman, Wil- liams, Young, and hiagner, manager. 198 ALL CONFERaENCE PLAYERS WILLIAMS . . . all-confer- ence second-string -fullbaclc.

Safer has been the spark plug of the Cub attack throughout the season, hie led the team to the State Championship. 203 STATE 1934 State Champions! This was the title earned by Coach Dave Ferrell ' s Cub basketeers after a strenuous sixteen game season. Twin victories over Marin Junior College from San Francisco were the deciding factors In this irst state play-off in basketball. Besides the state title, the local five won its Southern California Championship with easy wins over Chaffey, and the fourth out of a possible five Western Division crowns when they were charged with only one loss during the regular season of twelve league encounters. Glendale, the locals ' first opponent, showed a complete reversal of form during mid-season, and after dropping the first game, 37-18, came back to record the only Crimson and Blue defeat of the season in a 32-29 overtime tilt. The first game was a walkaway with each of the starting Cubs hitting the hoop for at least 4 points, and Louis Safer In the lead with 9. But the second contest was an exciting affair that never slowed up until the final gun. With but one minute to play, Los Angeles had a 5 point lead and apparently eased up for the Buccaneers sank two field goals and a free throw to tie the score, 27-27. Glendale lost no time in ringing up 5 points during the overtime period, while hold- ing the locals to 2 digits. Displaying unexpected strength and a well-balanced quintet. Coach Sam Grossman ' s Ventura Pirates put up a valiant battle before succumb- ing, 32-25, to a fast-moving Cub varsity In the second game of the season at Ventura. The opening canto was fairly even with the Crimson five scor- ing first to nab a 19-15 lead at the half. In the final half the Cubs forged ahead to score enough points to ward off the desperate last minute vic- tory drive of Ventura. MAY I DROP IN risflni CATCHING FLIES CHAMPS Strangely enough in the other Ventura game each team scored one more point than they had in the first encounter. Again the Pirates put on a late scoring spree, but again it was too late to prevent their 33-26 defeat. With an S. R. O. sign displayed at the box-office of the National Guard Armory in Long Beach, one more conference opponent went down be- fore the Cub sharp-shooters, 34-22. The Long Beach five was unable to break through the fine defense of Spot Thornton, who played one of the best games of his career. The few times that the Vikings did get shots at the basket, Thornton grabbed the casaba off the back- board and relayed it down the court to his team-mates. In the second Long Beach encounter the locals garnered an easy 35-22 win. The spectacular floorwork of Art Stoefen In scoring 15 digits was the outstanding feature of the contest. It was the last of the two Pasadena contests that saw the Cubs clinch the Western Division title when the standings revealed that the locals held a three game lead over Glendale with only two games left to play. Al- though RIordan of the Bulldogs received high point honors with I I points, the outcome of this decisive game was never In doubt with the Crim- son five winning a 39-24 victory. The Los Angeles quintet also won the first Pasadena game, 41-29, in the Hollywood High School Gymnasium. Playing his last junior college game because of an eligibility ruling, Jim Spot Thornton, stellar Cub guard, played a great game against Santa Monica In the following tilt, and the locals emerged on the long end of a 33-20 score. So fine was Thornton ' s guarding that no Corsair • 205- bucketed more than 2 field goals. The second game was exciting for the first half, as the period ended with the score tied, but when Stoefen and Poertner combined to show why they were selected as members of the first string all-conference team this season, Los Angeles quickly pulled away to win, 29-20. In the first Tartar encounter, the Cubs were handed a scare by their Inspired rivals but managed to eke out a 29-24 victory. To close the regular conference schedule, the locals trounced Compton, 33-16, in an easy game at the Hollywood High School Gymnasium. The first of the play-off games with Chaffey, winner of the Eastern Division crown, was staged in the hHollywood Gymnasium, the Cubs holding a 25-1 lead In an early part of the tilt, the final result was never In doubt. Although the score of the second contest, which was played before a capacity house at Ontario, was 29-23, the win was just as de- cisive as the other 45-22 victory. The Chaffey five was held to 4 field goals for the entire game. Ability to work scoring plays under the op- ponent basket eked out the meager Cub win, as Los Angeles players banked on a well-planned passing attack to work out their attempts. In the first of the two play-off games for the State Championship with Marin Junior College, winner of the Northern California crown, the visitors surprised the Crimson and Blue quintet with their speed and shooting in the first half, and by the Intermission the Mariners held a 15-8 lead. A fight talk between halves by Coach Ferrell, and Marin ' s loss of Its stellar center and guard via the personal foul route quickly changed the complex- UST BE A GAME WHOOPS, MY DEAR! ion of the game In the final half. Led by Cooper, Safer and Poertnei ' . the Cubs staged a desperate comeback which netted 23 points and a 31-22 victory. Cooper, Cub forward, and Goold, Marin forward, tied for high-point honors with 8 digits each. In the deciding t ilt the next evening, the Cubs took a commanding lead in the first half and coasted to a 34-22 victory and their first State Championship. The locals held a 15-4 lead at the half time. Dorbyn Poertner, who turned In the most spectacular game of any man on either team, and Art Stoefen, lanky center, tied for scoring honors with 8 points each. By virtue of their victories over Marin Junior College, the Cubs are 1934 State Champions and the first junior college team to receive that title, as no state play-offs v.-ere staged previous to this one. In the all-conference selections Art Stoefen, lanky center, and Dorbyn Poertner, speedy guard, were placed on the first team. Stoefen was also high-point man of the Western Division. Spot Thornton, stellar guard, won second team honors, while Louis Safer, sharp-shooting forward, re- ceived honorable mention. However, It was the combined team-work of the Cub players that was responsible for the California Championship. Other players who were responsible for the Crimson and Blue victories were Cooper, Wells, LIndahl, Shackelford, Blum, Hadley, hielganz and Roach. Of the Invincible Cub quintet, only Stoefen at center and Wells at guard will return to bolster Ferrell ' s hopes for next season. Cooper, Safer and Poertner have completed two successful years of competition at Los Angeles. 207 ART STOEFEN J ft JACK COOPER J (i CLAUDE ROACH 208 « x HARDIN WELLS % CAPT.

WINNERS MITSUHASHI 4 - m- liirj aa 217 Traveling down to Long Beach for the second game of the season on April 2, the Cub nine, behind the great hurling of Tom Wood, defeated the beach aggregation, 1-0. Wood held the Viking s to five hits, while the local team was able to collect six. Miller ' s smashing double with Goodwin on second in the sixth inning gave Fleming ' s team one counter and that was enough for Wood who did not allow a loser to reach third base after the open- ing inning. In the first inning the beach team filled the bases on a hit and two Cub errors. McFadden, Viking second baseman led the attack for the afternoon by collecting a double and a single in four trips to the plate, hie was the only player to get over one hit for the day. Besides providing the winning hit of the contest, Frank Miller played a spectacular game at third base. Johnnie Goodwin, Cub catcher, also played an outstanding game. Frank Mungia was at second base, while Jack Silver- thorne was shifted from right field to first base for this game. J oe Mitsuhashi, Joe Suski, and Woody Kelly SILVERTHORNE 218 patrolled the fields, while Irving Kelly played his natural- ly steady game at short. Behind the second great game pitched by Tom Wood, the Cub ball team defeated Pasadena in the third con- ference game, 2-0, on the winner ' s field on April 28. It was the second straight conference shutout for the slim Cub righthander. He again limited his opponents to five hits, keeping them well scattered and not allowing one Bulldog to reach third base. The Cubs collected six hits off McNeil, losing southpaw. McNeil ' s wildness allowed the Cubs to score their first run in the seventh inning. Safer walked and went to third on Wood ' s hard grounder through short. Suske sent a fly to right field, and Safer scored after the catch. In the eighth inning the winners collected their second run. Maclntyre opened the inning with a walk, went to second as Woody Kelly walked, and scored when Irving Kelly sent a double to right field. The Kellys died on bases, but their runs were not needed as Wood retired the Bulldogs without a man reaching first in the final canto. Wood helped his cause by getting two hard blows to lead the Cub attack. Maclntyre, Mitsuhashi, Irving Kelly, and Miller collected the other Cub blows. Because of this victory, Los Angeles remained the only undefeated team in Western Division competition with three wins and no defeats. For the third consecutive conference game of the sea- son, Tom Wood handed the opposition a shutout as Coach Joe Fleming ' s aggressive nine cinched the 1934 baseball pennant when it defeated the Santa Monica nine, 1-0, on the local field. May 5. The victory was the fourth one of the season for Los Angeles and gave the Cubs the Western Division cham- pionship. It was the third successive shutout pitched by Wood in conference competition, his former wins being 1-0 victory over Long Beach and a 2-0 win over Pasa- dena, hie pitched only these three games. The Cub hurler was untouchable, allowing the beach team but three hits. Only once was the tall right-hander in trouble and then a sensational catch of a hard line drive over second was turned into a double play by 219 SLIDE FOR IT! diminutive Joe Mitsuhashi, local second baseman. The Cubs got five hits off Bowers, Corsair hurler. Maclntyre scored the lone Cub tally in the second inning, hie doubled to center, went to third as Miller was being thrown out at first and scored when Irv Kelly hit his first of two singles to left field. Kelly led the Cub attack with two hits in three trips to the plate. Jack Silverthorne, Cub first baseman, was unable to play in the game because of a leg injury received earlier in the season. It was more than just a championship for Coach Joe Fleming, for at the start of the season he was handi- capped by having only four lettermen back. One of these had played on the 1932 championship team, while another was still busy with ice hockey, hfowever, after a very unsuccessful practice season, Fleming produced another championship nine. The Cubs lost many of their practice games and dis- played their inexperience in these losses. The locals dropped two hard-fought games to the strong U.S.C. frosh in two of the best practice games of the season. 220 BET HE MISSED IT! 22 Af the start of the conference season the team was changed around considerably and displayed a new form that finally brought Los Angeles another Western Di- vision pennant. Compton, the only other team to be met by Fleming ' s nine, lost its third straight game while the Cubs were winning the pennant. After the Compton game, the Cubs faced the winner of the Eastern Division to deter- mine the Southern California baseball championship. These results were not known at the time the yearbook went to press. Los Angeles players who were outstanding this year on the Cub nine were Johnnie Goodwin, catcher; Tom Wood and Joe Malmon, pitchers; Jack Silverthorne and Louie Safer, first basemen; Frank Mungia, second base- man; Frank Miller, third baseman; Irving Kelly, shortstop; and Joe Mitsuhashi, Joe Suski, and Woody Kelly, fielders. Although the Cubs displayed some fine field- ing in their games, a large part of the victories were made possible through the pitching of Wood with three wins and Malmon with one victory.

AND NOW LET US CHANGE OUR STYLE COMPLETELY. I WISH TO SPEAK OF A MAN WHO WAS LEFT WITH AN OVER- DOSE OF PATIENCE. HE COMES INTO THE OFFICE, QUIETLY SUGGESTS THAT THIS OR THAT OUGHT TO BE DONE, AND MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE A CHUMP FOR NOT HAVING THOUGHT OF IT YOURSELF. HE ACTED AS CONTACT AND SERVICE MAN FOR THE BOOK, AND NEVER FAILED TO HAVE HIS FINGER ON THE PROGRESSIVE PULSE OF THE PRODUCTION. I REFER TO BYRON E. ELLIS, ADVISOR FOR THE YEARBOOK. HIS FRIENDSHIP AND HELP HAS MEANT A VERY GREAT DEAL TO ALL PEOPLE WORKING FOR HIM. HIS PATIENCE AND FORBEARANCE HAS MEANT MORE TO ME THAN I CAN SAY. ELLIS IS A PAL . WE OWE MUCH TO THE MECHANICAL AND TECHNICAL SKILL OF HAMMES AND PETERSON OF THE WOLFER PRINTING COMPANY. WITH THEIR HELP WE HAVE STRIVEN TO ATTAIN PERFECTION IN THE PRINTED WORD. THANKS ALSO TO WEBER- McCREA FOR THE COVERS— A PERFECTED THING IN ITS OWN FIELD. PHOTOGRAPHS MAKE A YEARBOOK, AND THE 1934 JUNIOR CAMPUS IS INDEBTED TO MR. WITZEL, MRS. HOFFMAN, AND MR. ELSNER FOR THEIR WORK. IT IS A PRIVILEGE TO SAY PHOTO- GRAPHS BY WITZEL. THE YEAR HAS PASSED. WE CAN LOOK BACK AND SEE WHERE WE HAVE MADE MISTAKES HERE; WHERE WE COULD HAVE IMPROVED THERE. WE HAVE EACH GOTTEN SOMETHING OUT OF OUR WORK HERE— SOME MORE THAN OTHERS, BUT, ALL IN ALL, WE ARE SATISFIED, AND ARE GLAD TO CALL IT A DAY. The Editor 246 INI 247
