Growth, progress, improvement-whatever it is called, Valley College has had it this year. But the forward motion of the college is not newg it has been there before, but this time there was a new added in- gredient-a spirit, a vitality that, coupled with the enormous advancement of the campus, brought about a feeling that the Crown staff feels is characterized by the phrase, Forward with verve. From buildings to curricula to student activities, Valley College took a big step forward this past year in establishing itself as a full-fledged college with a distinctive and unique identity. Every phase of college life felt to some degree the impact of the college moving ahead with a lively step. One ofthe best-attended student activities of the year was the Quad- wrangler speaker series, shown here when Los Angeles Mayor Samuel Yorty spoke to a large group of students. The spark and vitality of band member Cheryl Wilson was seen at college activities throughout the year, not only at football games. One ot the principal sights around campus this year was that of students studying, with a new air of academic achievement prevalent in student actions. .Ak This year the college opened, as does this magazine, on a note of spirit. For the first time in memory, students had a surge of vitality, a spark, an interest in what surround- ed them. From the opening football game on, there was a genuine in- terest in campus activities. It was a new Valley, doing just what it had before, except now there was a sparkle added to it, a sparkle added by a new interest, and the energy to accompany the interest. This spark was all that Valley needed to make it a complete col- lege. Widi February's dedication of five new buildings, the college now had instructional facilities among the finest in the nation and an able corps of instructors ready to make use of them. were not the only area achievement. One thou- students came to the year, making necessary to handle them. This the year that Valley Buildings of academic sand more campus this new classes truly was reached maturity, recognized its role and responsibility in education and set out to realize that goal. Aunew spirit permeated the college, stimulated by the infectious sound of the marching band. A new kind of student came to Valley this year. Not just an academic whiz who went to college or his counterpart, interested in social life, but a new student, who found that the academic and extracurric- ular activities of the campus could be put together, with each division blending into the other and being a little better off for it. Although it may seem insignificant, Valley College had its roads and avenues named, a fitting emblem to the identity that the college had sought for so many years but was not realized until now. During its 15-year history, Valley College has ex- perienced many different periods of development, but this year will be remembered as the year that Valley College grew up but did not stop growing, rather it just started again, this time with a spirit of Forward with verve. Despite the cover of academic endeavor, Jacquie Vigor and Allen Rushteldt demonstrate 'For Crown readers that school isn't all work and no play. I fm One of the long-standing traditions in school spirit, the horsecollar, is returned to Glendale City College President Bob Babko by Valley's A.S. President Henry Miller. Vivacious mctioretfe Kathy Crowley spins her baton before spirited rally crowd. C Spirit vendors VciIIey's pom-pon girls Lori Marks, Jan Speed and Pcif Reding typify the new Forward motion spirit of the college. invade Valley College '63-'64 is experiencing a new atmos- phere that it hasn't felt in years. Valley students now are not only interested in furthering their education but also taking an active part in college functions. This new student feels proud of the activities on campus such as the football team, the band, clubs and other activities. What is Valley Spirit? It is the spirit of the student cheering his team on to victory. Spirit is the cheerleaders creating enthusiasm in school activities and excitement at football games. Spirit is the marching band playing spirited tunes to add to the mood of the crowd. Spirit is the active club on campus, flying its banners high at football games and taking an active part in all school functions. Spirit is the fan who comes from outside Valley to help support his favorite team. Heading the spirit vendors at Valley are the yelling, jumping, cheering cheerleaders. Betty Strong, Linda Wilson, Marty Oeland and Gayle Smith are energetic women with a purpose in mind-to create spirit in the student body and help Valley gain identity in the community. Assisting the cheerleaders with this purpose in mind are the yell kings-Gary Spradlin Qhead yell leaderj, Barry Moren, Ken Burr and Charlie Flake. Each one of these young men uses his loud, clear voice to help Valley students learn the cheers at the games. There are other leaders who along with the cheer- leaders and yell leaders help to promote spirit for Val- ley. Songleaders Jan Speed, Bev Andrews, Ginny Butler, Lori Marks, Sharon Duderstadt, Pat Reding, Linda Saunders and Linda Richardson in their short skirts and colorful pom-pons perform a synchronized routine to the beat of the band the yell of the cheerleaders. The band, directed by Earle lmmel, is one of the most important of the spirit vendors. It expresses in music instead of words the thrill felt by the students at a game. Whenever there is a team touchdown, the loud drums begin to roll-the sign of victory. Along with the band, drum major Tom Giles, dressed in an all white uniform and high plumed hat, shows his skills by executing many difficult routines with the band in precision timing. Assisting the drum major are the brilliantly uniformed majorettes, Kathy Crowley and Gayle La Pask, who dangerously play with fire. The light from their fire barons adds brilliance to the green and gold uniforms, the colors of Valley. Also showing their skills with the baton are Jayne Budworth, who is usually dressed in an all green uniform, and Cathy Reimer, who is dressed in white. These students, who give their services to Valley, are only a few of the many students who help promote spirit for Valley. Valle Y . ..r,..

B -l , - 7 'W Flying through the air with the greatest of ease, Valley's gymnasts make it look like a breeze. A double flip in the air or building of a pyra- mid awes the spectators at the versatility of the tumblers. The six gymnasts, Doug Wash- burn fwho is always up in the airj, Fred Washburn, David De Poe, Larry Jackson, Wally Williams and Arnie Widofrosky, usually perform along the sidelines at the games. Whenever Valley makes a point, they Hip for joy and show their enthusiasm for the team by execut- ing a series of flips in the air. The tumblers are generally dressed in white slacks and white shirts so that they are more easily seen in the dark. The songleaders are also seen down on the field wearing short skirts and pom-pons, assisting the cheerleaders in leading the cheers. They help convey the spirited feel- ing of the crowd into a lively routine. eerlecider Gayle Smith reflects the lhusiasm of Vcilley's off the field rticipanfsf' . i rx, '- She may be only a head and tail, but the Monarch lioness is still the beloved mascot of Valley. She can be seen most of the time cavorting around the cheerleaders trying to get them to let her lead some of the cheers. Sometimes she can be seen up in the press box harassing the scorekeeper trying to make him change the score to give her team the victory. While the lioness is giving the sports writers a bad time, the lion is down on the field ring- ing the victory bell as the Mon- archs roar on to victory. Along with the lioness, the band and Monarchettes also convey spirit of Valley College to students. Band members, dressed in their new green and gold uniforms, perform at games or school rallies as an accompaniment to the cheerleaders and Monarchettes. Monarchettes, Valley College's drill team, is directed by Miss Vir- ginia Waldron, modern dance in- structor. It is composed of women who are interested in drill team work who want to participate at Valley functions by performing at the games. Doug Washburn absolutely flips over Valley's touchdown as other gymncisfs watch in owe. Heading the yell leaders is Gary Spradlin, a vibrant young man who generally is at the microphone lead- ing the cheers. Ken Burr, Charlie Flake and Barry Moren help him by getting spectators to participate in cheering the team. Each of the yell leaders must be able to control the crowd and lead it to the over- whelming spirit evidenced by the cheers that help the team. Not just any student can arouse a crowd to emotional heightsg he must be an experienced leader and exceptional student. The yell leaders also contribute to school functions by being com- mentators, getting students inter- ested in activities on campus such as dances and rallies. This creates a feeling of unity on campus and makes Valley what it is. More now than ever before Valley students feel a true unity and security in the school. They feel that it is a part of their life-a very important part in readying them for the future. As students leave Valley, they will never forget the closeness they felt toward the school and the people connected with it, and .they will be forever avid supporters of the mighty Monarchs. Monarchette Frances Golub also partici- pates in spirit of rallies to spur on a winning team. wi'S1z?Ffff:'fi1 Y Team mascot, Valley College Lion, rings the victory bell after a winning game.

President with a purpose As an integral part of Jack Easton's spirit campaign, green derbies were sold. Here Easton and student activities dean William E. Lewis discuss the derbies, along with the container Derby Money went into. jack Easton's multi-faceted interests reflect the student body that he represented the first semester of this year. His activities ranged from serving as Associated Student president of Valley College to acting and sharpshooting. He began his acting career while attending Notre Dame High School in the San Fernando Valley. Easton has demonstrated his ability as an actor numerous times on the television screen in such shows as Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Wagon Train, Bo- nanza, Surfside Six, The Virginiani' and Chan- ning, He also appeared in one feature motion picture, Blue Denim, and on Chevrolet and Standard Oil TV commercials. l Easton is planning to go into the field of public relations and advertising after completing .college but uses acting as a professional hobby. One of Easton's harder tasks was dancing with Homecoming Queen Madeline Mack at the Harvest Moon Ball. i Xy- X ,Qffs 2. Jr- ep X Q ..4, . After being elected by student ballots, Easton turns the tables by voting in- the January A.S. elections. Mulling over cz painting in his bedroom, Easton spends late hours on homework for his first semester in .sw ims art class. 5' ga it V ,,---.- i Jack Easton, during his tenure as Associated Student president in the fall semester 1963, exemplified the qualities of a true student leader. All Executive Council meetings which he chaired were recorded on tape and reviewed by Easton and William Lewis, dean of activities. Lewis pointed out the areas needing improvement. This gave Easton the opportunity to act as an individual-a leader. He initiated drives striving to increase school spirit at football games and dances. He invented the booster derby and the booster button,', articles which gave the students some identity at football games. Another accomplishment during Easton's adminis- tration was the addition of a full-time P.R. director to the staff of the college. President McNelis stated that this was the best semester student government ever had. He added that he had never given the president's trophy to anyone more deserving. Easton stated, I wouldn't trade my experience as student body president for anything. The experience you have working on various projects-such as the 510,000 statue and the balancing of the complex 315190,000 budget, lays excellent groundwork for your future in business. The experience in coordinating college events, economics and various social aspects contributes to your value as a citizen. Jack Easton is now at USC, continuing to lead as he did for five semesters at Valley College. Sitting in his office stuffed with reminders of current problems and past elections, Easton watches over the affairs ot some l3,000 Valley College students.

All these characters from the Shakespearean plays were portrayed by administration and faculty members of Valley College, who were taking part in a program designed to acquaint the college students with the works of the Bard of Avon. President William McNelis portrayed Hamlet, coach Ralph Caldwell played Othello, Mrs. june Bier- mann characterized Titania, Robert Rivera was Sir Toby Belch and Mrs. Nancy Ferguson portrayed Kate. Through the help of the Valley College Theater Arts and Make-up departments, these administrators took on convincing appearances of the characters whom they were portraying. April 20 through 24 was set aside as Shakespeare Week when the Bard's plays and style were analyzed and viewed. An authentic program was planned and executed by a Shakespearean Festival committee. The planners included James Chambers, English instructor, Brent Carruth, editor of the Valley Star, and Colleen Fer- guson, Star city editor.

Elizabethan England came to Valley for one week during April, when madrigals, minstrels and jesters in- vaded the campus and gave students a taste of the romantic period of Engish plays and literature. The Athenaeum committee presented the film Richard IIIU as part of the week's entertainment. The film was one of the many activities held during the week, which added to everyone's appreciation of Shakespeare and his works. The Elizabethan atmosphere complete with music and madrigal singers was contributed by the Valley College music department headed by Professors Richard Knox and Earle Immel. is e ,s My k' ! They sang ballads from the period and entertained throughout the festival. These madrigals demonstrated how the romantics of the Elizabethan period wandered from village to village carrying tales through their songs. Titania lMrs. June Biermannl: What visions have l seen!

The makeup artist has the same ability, but his material is not can- vasg rather it is the human face. The lines drawn on the face of another individual with makeup pencils us- ually change his appearance so that he takes on the characteristics of some other individual. This is the case of Valley College's makeup class that changed the appearance of numerous faculty members dur- ing the Shakespeare Festival. That class, headed by instructor Patrick Riley, spent many hours putting putty and false hair in the riht places to change William McNelis to Hamlet, coach Ralph Caldwell to Othello and Robert Rivera to Sir Toby Belch. The Elizabethan atmos- phere was complete with the addi- tion of the play characters. The excellent makeup should be com- plimented, for without these authen- tic characters the festival would not have been pure Shakespeare. Makeup instructor Patrick Riley applies nose putty and grease paint to James Chambers before the Shakespearean Festival. 'W 1 'ff f Valley's Sports Car Club made a carry chair for Queen Elizabeth during the Shakespeare Festival. This was one club's contribution to the week of festive activities, which climaxed with a finale parade, where faculty members and students in costume visited the booths and game areas provided by the student body. The previous week had been filled with cultural activities to acquaint the students with Shakespeare. A one-man show was presented by Stacy Keach, a Shakespearean actor who performs every summer in an Elizabethan theater in Oregon. His performance added to every- one's enjoyment of Shakespeare's plays. The flag pole area was filled on that last day of the festival. Valley did a fine job of creating Elizabeth- an England 1564 for the student body. With the full programs and the characterizations by the facul- ty and administrators, Elizabethan England 1964 was a success.

Act IV, scene 3 from Hamlet. of Othello's lcoach Ralph beard is an important part the makeup characterization. N ,f ' Instant overhaul Carefully applying eye makeup, theater arts maior Gary Schwartz is completing the practical side of his makeup class. Wfhat miracle transforms ordinary John Doe into Hamlet, Shylock or Othello? The answer is makeup. Through the use of false hair, nose putty and grease paint, a young girl can become an aged woman, a handsome lad can become a wicked maniac, and any actor can become the character he is portraying. The ability of the thespian to mouth the words of his famous personage is not enough, for he must also resemble that individual. It is easier for the audience to concentrate on the performance if he can visualize the actual person speaking. Valley College's theater arts department is training its students in the art of makeup, under the direction of Patrick Riley, acting instructor. Students from the makeup classes paint the faces of each character in all college productions. They are taught the basics of makeup. There is only one class per semester- beginning stage makeup. Every stage actor must know how to apply his own makeup, said Riley. This is a basic must for the acting profession, just as there are basics in all other professionsf, Lmed up in front of the mirror in the dressing room the makeup class applies the tools of the trade. The makeup class deals mainly with the grease paints and putty, but advanced students who Wish to learn different techniques or mask work may return and do projects for the department under the .guidance of Patrick Riley. One such student is Don Post, whose father is a professional mask maker. Post completed his basic course and has returned to learn more advanced tech- niques. As his project he is designing 16 masks for the production MadWoman of Chaillotf, The masks are made of plaster cast and rubber. Every actor at Valley must take this makeup course, for Without it he would not have a well-rounded acting education. Student Gary Schwartz makes the finishing touches with a light dab to the eyes. Pia a ns I Jim, Jeff cmd Jan, Capitol recording stars, entertain at Club Day as record crowd looks on. -fig! Service for progress Enthusiastic leadership and plan- ning made Valley College's 27th semi-annual Club Day the great success it was. Careful planning by the Inter- Organization Council, IOC, led by Jan Yacobellis, was directly respon- sible for the biggest and best Club Day in Valley history. Attendance records were smashed as more than 3,000 students were on hand for the festivities. Many participating clubs were snowed with new pledges as competition for display honors among the clubs was at its peak. What is Club Day? Shortly after each semester has begun, Valley College students have a chance to see what the different clubs on campus have to offer. Those stu- dents who are eligible to join the club may do so if they desire. One day is set aside every semester for this purpose and Valley calls it Club Day. Club Day is a campaign. Booths are erected, and the clubs display their respective activities, hoping to induce onlookers to join. Some clubs can be found serving refresh- ments in an attempt to lure new memberships. The results of the clubs' efforts were gratifying this semester as most of the clubs participating were swamped with sign-ups. Traditionally, honors are be- stowed on the clubs with the best display. This semester the Sports Car Club, with its professional type racing car display, and the Valley Collegiate Players, who featured their rendition of the Roaring Twenties, tied for first place as both clubs tallied 65 points in the judging. The Valley Techs Club and the International Club made competi- tion even more interesting as each was awarded 64 points, resulting in a tie for second place. Other clubs which did well in the judging were the Coronets, which placed third, and the Art Club, which garnered fourth place honors. The German Club and the Young Republicans received honorary mention. On-campus clubs, which supply much of the social media for Val- ley, are also most always educa- tional. The 31 clubs and 8 honor societies provide a wide variety of interests and activities available to the students, giving nearly every student at Valley an opportunity to find a club which appeals to his needs or desires. 2 X elif Valley Collegiate Players dance the Charleston in Roaring Twenties display which tied for first place. One of the nerve centers of cam- pus activities is the Inter-Organiza- tion Council QIOCQ, which func- tions as if it were the brain in a body of muscles composed of clubs and organizations. The brain, QIOCQ, coordinates the muscles fclubs and organiza- tionsj, each of which does its part to benefit Club Day. Members of IOC consist of presidents or repre- sentatives of the various clubs, who may be likened to nerve impulses. These IOC members transmit the ideas of the brain QIOCJ to the muscles fthe member's respective club or organizationj. IOC, which is headed by the vice president of the Associated Student Body and advised by the assistant dean of student activities, promotes the cultural and recreational inte- gration of campus organizations. It also makes available to as many stu- dents as possible the advantage of organization or club membership. One of the top organizations on campus is the Valley Collegiate Players, an honorary society of theater arts. In order to be a mem- ber of this honor society, a student must have had roles in three or more college dramatic productions and have attained excellence in per- formance.

A leadingilub at Valley is the Sports Car Club, which was orga- nized to promote interest in sports cars and sports car activities. Mem- bership is open to all sports car owners and enthusiasts. The club participates in many sports car events in the Los Angeles area as well as other special club events. The Art Club, a source of culture at Valley, is open to students major- ing or interested in art and who are willing to devote part of their time and talent to school activities. Exhi- bitions are sponsored and field trips are arranged for sketching or for becoming acquainted with contempo- rary architecture, painting or sculp- ture. The club also visits museums and art schools. Coronets, Valley's women's honor service organization, is comprised of women students interested in giving service to the college at social events, assemblies and general campus af- fairs. Any woman with a previous service record at Valley or in any other college may apply for mem- bership. Applications to join Coro- nets are available in the student ac- tivities office. Knights is a Valley men's honor service club. Valley men students with a desire to serve Valley College and with a record of previous serv- ice to the college are eligible. Mem- bers of the Knights often serve Valley. The Knights' motto, Honor Through Service, mirrors the cen- tral purpose of this club, which is one of the largest and most Well known on Valley's campus. Members ofthe German Club accept new memberships of Club Day booth. E ' i it? 1- ,H f P sl'I ' L ,..t, The German Club was organized to foster an appre- ciation for different facets of German culture through group gatherings. German music, language and art are all part of the interests of the German Club. The club also tries to promote better public relations and make an effort to be of service to the school. Membership is open to all Valley students. The organized groups on campus fall into three ngain categories. These are interest clubs, organizations and honor societies. There are eight honor societies which include Tau Alpha Epsilon-Les Savants for scholars in any field, Beta Phi Gamma for journalism students, Alpha Mu Gamma for foreign language students and Epsilon Epsilon Epsi- lon in the engineering field. Also are Delta Kappa Phi for history majors, Sigma Alpha Phi in the field of music, Sigma Tau Sigma for outstanding students in the field of social sciences and the Valley Collegiate Players for those students who excel in the theatrical arts. Nine organizations are active at Valley. These in- clude Associated Men Students, which is comprised of all regularly enrolled men students at Valley, Associated Women Students, of which all regularly enrolled women students are a partg Coronets, Freshman Class, includ- ing students with 30 units or lessj and the Knights. Also are the Monarchettes, a marching class of women students, KLAV, Valley's radio stationg Sopho- more Class, comprised of all students of Valley who have successfully completed 30 or more units, and the Women's Athletic Association, which promotes sports activities among the Valley College women students. All other groups on campus are interest clubs. n-,- ff,l C5 All XY asc. 'Y 'W-s., , . - 'tx , Carol Sortomme, president of Young Republicans, gives out Goldwater buttons at Young Republicans booth.

Other purposes of the club are to collect, analyze and dis- cuss information concerning political activities. One of the largest service or- ganizations at Valley, Associated Women Students, is open to all regularly enrolled women students. Its objectives are to direct, promote and stimulate interest in campus ac- tivities. It is designed to reflect the interest and execute the will of the women students. Valley's other major political group, Young Democrats Club, was organized by students who seek dynamic, progressive programs 'and policies designed to meet Amer1ca's changing needs. All of the organizations at Valley have their greatest opportunity to excel on Club Day, which benefits all who participate. Students who take part as spectators are rewarded with entertainment by the clubs, and the clubs receive new pledges for their work at Club Day. But the most important work of each of the clubs goes on all se- mester in the form of service to club members the school and to society. 7 1 if c 1 4 9 1 K in if ,N .g 1 .X X ,ii 'fl .i ei l .g 4 Q n y ,V .

Tensely awaiting the big moment . . . Homecoming 1965 marked the be- ginning of a new spirit at Valley College, a spirit that seems to have a forward motion, a spirit that lives with the progress of the col- lege. As the college grows, so grows the spirit. This forward motion spirit stood out at the Homecoming As- sembly, where the queen candidates were introduced. It was at the polls, where voting for the queen took place. It was at the Harvest Moon Ball. Most of all, it was still pres- ent after the Homecoming Game, in which the Valley grid squad battled the Bakersiield eleven in a hard- fought loss. The new Valley spirit actually showed signs of strength the Thurs- day before Homecoming Week be- gan. At the 11 a.m. deadline for queen candidate petitions to be in, no less than 14 were sitting on Dean Lewis' desk in the office of student activities. It seems no one can re- member the last time when as many The band supplies the melodies for the candidates, their escorts and the hundreds of students who filled the cafeteria for the dance. as 14 coeds competed for the queen title. just minutes after the petition deadline, the girls were rushed to the Administration Building for campaign instructions from Dean Lewis and Commissioner of Elec- tions jim Kinkead. After being briefed as to what they could and could not do, pictures were taken. After campaigning and more pic- tures on Friday and Monday, each of the beauties appeared before the stu- dent body at the 11 a.m. assembly on Tuesday. With the Men's Gym filled to near capacity, Colleen Fer- guson, commissioner of student ac- tivities, directed the program. Pressure began to build as the 11:50 bell rang, and the gym started to empty. Voting would begin in just 10 minutes. In less than 40 hours the voting was over, and the ballots were counted. Tension was the secret word for the 14 contestants during the next two days. , :nal ,1 11111114111 ,L 31-uinnqiu The tension mounts for the i4 candidates as President McNelis moves to the microphone to start the coronation proceedings. . . .

Hundreds of students and alumni came to see what lucky coed would sit on the regal throne. Jazz from the band of Robert MacDonald provided an hour and a half of dancing for the contestants and other students at the dance be- fore the fateful time drew near for the results of a week of waiting. The time arrived and President William J. McNelis introduced the 14 lovelies to the audience. The suspense rose as Andrea Danek came forward as the fourth princess in the queen's court. Zorica Tosic captured third princess, and Lynn Guzey found second princess reserved for her. Donna Russell wound up with first princess in the court of four. Then amidst an' almost electric tension, Madeline Mack floated to the throne to be crowned her majesty by President McNelis. At game time, Saturday, Miss Mack and her court took their seats on the 50 yard line. In her beautiful pink gown, and with her soft blonde hair combed above her shoulders, Queen Made- line cheered as the Valley defense held the powerhouse from Bakers- field to two lonely touchdowns in the first half. At half-time the royalty was brought out on the field for all 'the fans to admire. Miss Mack took her place high above the special float the Sports Car Club prepared in her honor. In the second half of the game, Valley's forward motion was stopped on the field, but in the stands it was still going. And it is still going on at the campus, too. The week of campaigning and tense waiting draws close to an end as commissioner of student activities Colleen Ferguson gives final instructions to the candidates. 3. Lv f.'.

Honey-blonde Madeline Mack awoke Staurday morn- ing, just a few hours after having been crowned Home- coming Queen, and just a dozen hours before her moment of glory at the Homecoming game. A lithesome 19-year-old, Madeline lives in Pacoima with her mother, Louella and father, Walter. Two older sisters have already married and are rearing families. A veteran of innumerable beauty contests, and the winner of more than her share, much of Madeline's time is occupied by keeping in shape for competition. Luckily, swimming and skin diving, her two favorite pastimes, lit into this scheme and fill much of the slender beauty's spare moments. Madeline also spends three times a week working out with weights, once verboten to any girl, and still not popularly acceptable to many people. People just don't seem to understand that working with weights properly doesn't make bulg- ing muscles, but instead is a valuable supplement to poise and natural beauty in competition, says George Bruce, one-time owner of a valley gymnasium and now coach of several Southland models. Before the game on Saturday, Madeline spent much of her time studying for an upcoming exam and helping her mother around the house. Naturally enough, con- siderable time was spent admiring the new crown that was to be hers for the evening, as well as anticipating the time had by Gail Weichlein at last year's Home- coming game. And, of course, much time was spent in answering congratulatory telephone calls, looking in newspapers for mention of the previous evening's dance and finally getting ready for the BIG game. ,-- ' Taking time out before the Homecoming game, Madeline helps her mother prepare dinner. for Madeline.

Williams provided Valley followers with many an exciting moment with his great breakaway running. It was the speedy halfback who kept almost every game in doubt due to his ability to turn in the long gainer on any given play. Two seasons ago, Williams turned in an amazing record of averaging more than five yards a carry, while falling just under that mark in the past season. At the end of the 1963 grid year, Williams was judged by the coaching staff as the most valuable mem- ber of the team. In accepting the high honor, Williams said in his typically modest way, Whatever success I have had in the past two years at Valley can be directly attributed to the great play of my teammates. day this fall, but they soon got many more shots as the lanky halfback created havoc with opposing defenses. , , x N A one man powerhouse Williams leaps over all-American Jim Sartoris of Glendale and outdistances three other Vaqueros for long yardage. g.,- 3,i-'--,,.-,N-I-E, V we V- k- - - -M --- -- r. t -. ,smwvammfsenr While at Valley, lanky sophomore james Williams has had the pleasure of playing in only three games in which the Monarchs were able to win. Despite that depressing fact, he said, If I had to do it all over again, I would still come to Valley. It's true that We haven't won many games. However, more important is the fact that I have met many fine people at Valley, both on and OH the field. It has been my pleasure to have been associated with them. Equally proficient in the classroom, Williams discusses his history maior with Richard Hendricks, associate professor of history. Williams is upset by a fallen Vaquero but maintains his balance and adds an additional four yards to his run. Unaware of a would-be tackler, the well-known No. 32 cuts to the outside as an unidentified Monarch peels back to lay a block. The popular student takes notes in his history class along with fellow students. When not in school, the likeable and articulate athlete enjoys his free time horseback riding and playing tennis. Coming from an athletic family his interests naturally run in sports. His father and uncle were both prominent professional boxers some years back. After college, Williams would like to try his hand at professional football. On that score he commented, I believe that if a person has confidence in his ability to do something, then he should at least give it a whirl. I think I can make it in pro football. I could be wrong, but I would cheat myself if I didn't set my goals high. Thus far in his 19 years of life, Williams hasn't failed, and there is no reason to believe that he will start now. 'I 'd like to try pro ball,' says Williams Hit form behind, Williams is knocked down offer a 4-yard goin. Throwing a block in the foreground is Jim Glavey. J.

Industry is now demanding great numbers of people extensively trained in the areas of physics and elec- tronics, and striving to meet that demand, Valley Col- lege's combined department presently numbers about 500 students. The segment concerned with physics is taught by four professors: Andrew Mason, department head, Edward M 5 H. Clark, Leroy Osborne and Ruth Wiggins, all of whom hold their master's degrees. It offers tive ob- ,961 la Y. jectives, the first three of which are designed to be combined with other studies. The most intensified study objective is a two-year introductory sequence for engineering and science majors. Also offered are a one-year general course for pre-med or architectural students and a one semester physics appreciation class for liberal arts majors. Two of the remaining five objectives offered are a three-semester course for technicians and a new two-year course in radiation and nuclear measurements. These two are complete training, after which the student is employabie. r 1 I 4 l l li -pasvlfl' .,. ..-- Checking on the radioactive sample are Andrew Mason, chairman ofthe department, and Mike Matza, lab assistant. Barbara Arnold, physics student, finds laboratory experimentation a valuable aid to her studies. Peering out from behind mountains of complicated- lookingfscientific apparatus, Andrew Mason, head of Valley's physics and electronics department, explains the basic studies offered by his department. l'We teach our students to look around themselves and describe what they see mathematically, says Mason. Then it's simply a matter of controlling physical en- vironment-you have to make it do what you want it to. The rapidly growing department has two basic aims. The first is to prepare the physics, electronics or en- gineering major for further education or employment. The second aim is to acquaint all students with the world of physics. One of the classes offered by the department, Physics Fundamentals, is aimed at this second type of student. It is designed primarily for liberal arts majors and emphasizes fundamental laws and principles rather than quantitative problem-solving. Mason feels that this class is accurately described as physics appreciationf, We are living in a scientific, technical society, Mason points out, 'land everyone needs at least an in- troduction to his physical environmentf' As a part of the fundamental foundation of a Well- rounded education, Mason wants his appreciation students to uget a feeling for itf' He illustrates his ideas by instructing them to look back in history and observe how a better understanding of physical surroundings helped to advance man. Mason believes that knowledge of basic physics be- comes adjunct to almost any other field of study and that the student is better prepared for the mechanics of modern living.

Dow sets the drill for one of the 384 l3MflOOO- inch precision holes required for the track to function properly. An engineer makes a track The new age of space and tech- nology has come to Valley. Com- puters and other modern devices for solving complicated problems have been incorporated into the engineer- ing curriculum, enabling the stu- dents to keep, abreast of the new developments in the field. Slide rules, desk c a l c u l a t 0 r s, dividers and micrometers are tools which aid the eager engineering student in designing a unique tool for the future or to conduct an an- alysis on the cable that supports the Golden Gate Bridge--to find its greatest point of stress. Under the guidance of seven cap- able faculty members - Donald Bruner, Maurice Deutsch, joseph Finck, Cyrus Kirshner, Ellis Foster, Glen Thomas, Gordon Fay and Jay Glassman - this new program un- folds. One example of these modernized methods is the recently introduced 1620 computer. It enables the stu- dent to become acquainted with all facets of given problems and to arrive at answers in minutes that under other circumstances would have taken weeks. Stress-relieving principles and atomic and molecular structures are clearly demonstrated and thorough- ly analyzed. Sixteen separate courses are of- fered for the prospective engineer. Shop practice is also available for those who want to make tools which they might have designed. The first piece of metal is placed between the vice grips-to steady the material for the exactness of the proiect. -R Perfect balance is also necessary, Dow finds, if the device is to be in working order upon completion. Dow cranks the drill press to the proper level, preparing forthe next step on the plans. 2 In .fl J' ll I .El 4 Dow follows rigid plan of cushion track-measuring and aligning the holes in the shop. An air cushion track, something new for the future railroad industry, was con- structed by Bob Dow, a first semester en- gineering student. This project was as- signed to him in the applied engineering class of shop class. Each student takes a set of plans and professionally constructs tools or modern industrial devices. They are actually de- monstrating the principles of physics in these labs-this is engineering. Dow made this air cushion track from plans drawn up by Andrew Mason of the physics department. He spent hours in the shop, shaping metal, balancing and align- ing parts to tit the mechanism. Precision is absolutely necessary, said Dow. Exactly 384 holes exactly Byzf 1000 inches in diameter had to be drilled into the long frame, If one hole was a frac- tion off, the device would not work, he said. Dow's project took one semester to complete, and many similar mechanisms which will be used in future industries are being designed and developed in the growing engineering department. Nancy Nichols and Cliff Prator use the textbook and its once-living counterpart to perform basic zoological experiments.

Laboriously tramping around in the field or cautiously dissecting in the lab., students are aware of the vast unfolding world of animals that surrounds them. The enthusiastic students entering Valley's zoology department will find a myriad of interesting experi- ments in which to participate ac- tively. Students aspiring to professional standing in the sciences or those ful- filling general education require- ments find the zoology department useful as a part of their education. Wornis to whales and how they are classified are just a part of the information taught in zoology courses at Valley. A peek into the lab will reveal students busily performing various operations on unsuspecting speci- mens, all of which leads to a better understanding of the life which surrounds them. It is not unusual to find a de- dicated zoology major rushing to class with a tarantula in his lunch sack. Some students even prefer doing their lab assignments at home and keeping the specimens in the refrigerator, much to their parents' dismay. Surrounded by microscopes and other scientific-looking parapherna- lia, the beginning zoology student may become slightly apprehensive, but after three semesters, he will be well on his way to joining Amer- ica's growing group of scientists.

Becki Ball drapes fabric on a dress dummy, as she goes through the motions of dress designing. The draping method is one of three that may be used. Man's constant search for new and improved meth- ods of modern living has created the modern homemak- er's dream-an oven that will cut her cooking time in half. The oven, which works on microwaves, is now be- ing used by home economics students at Valley Col- lege. The speed at which the oven cooks is its most fas- cinating feature. A small roast, which usually takes 1 V2 to 2 hours to cook, takes only 30 minutes in the oven. The number of pots and pans used in preparing a meal has been reduced because the oven enables the cook to take the meal from the container it is being cooked in and to place it immediately on the table ready to be served. Pat Ames, home economics student, demonstrates on a small loom the fundamentals of weaving. l J' Other modern facilities of the home economics de- partment is the use of the new Tappan electric oven and the textiles laboratory. The laboratory is mainly used for testing materials for strength, durability and color fastness. In the lab students also learn the fundamentals of weaving by the use of the small loom. Many jobs are now being opened to students in the fields of nursery school teaching, hospital dietetics, demonstrations of food and appliances, apparel design and construction, interior decoration and sales promo- tion in textiles and food industries. There are also job openings for students interested in teaching home eco- nomics. There is a hope that eventually the home economics department will be able to expand the evening division to the capacity of the day courses. Pupil in distress folks over problems with Valley College student Robin Saunders, her noon recreation director. Recreation is education A new program has been introduced by the Division of Elementary Education for the 1963-64 school year. It appears to be one of the most interesting and profit- able for students who plan to go into teaching or other related fields. The purpose of the Noon Duty Recreation Director program is to relieve teachers of yard duty during the noon period, thus helping the school to increase the effectiveness of its educational program and improving teacher planning and education. It also contributes to teacher morale by recognizing the importance of the professional role of the elementary teacher. This also enables the schools to provide constant supervision of children in cafeterias, eating areas and on playgrounds. It improves the position of the Los An- geles Schools with relation to teacher recruitment. Val- ley College is just one of the many colleges in the L.A. School District offering this program. Helping to introduce this program at Valley were Miss Eleanor Vactor, associate professor of English and coordinator of noon duty recreation, and Dr. Dallas Livingston-Little, job placement coordinator. The pro- gram is mainly offered to students who are elementary education majors who wish to get practical experience by working with the schools. This job is open to any student interested in working with children or planning on going into another phase of teaching. The students participating in this program are in direct contact with children by helping them on the playground. This gives the students invaluable aid in how to cope with problems they will someday ex- perience in a class. The training that they receive here will be a good recommendation in the future for apply- ing for a job as a teacher. will S fy Miss Eleanor Vactor, coordinator of noon recreation program at Valley, interviews Robin forthe noon aide position. Head recreation director ofthe Kester Avenue School, Leslie Preston, discusses playground procedure with Robin. Robin Saunders is one of the many students applying for the noon recreation job. She first talks to Miss Eleanor Vactor, who explains the duties and require- ments of the director. Robin then makes an appoint- ment with Dr. Livingston-Little, who explains the ad- vantages of the recreation director. One of the many advantages is the good pay. For an hour's work she receives 52.28. Most of the work periods are from 12 noon until 1 p.m., but some schools have an hour and a half period. There are also three to five directors at each school depending on the size of the school. Another one of the advantages is that there is no training or experience required, and the actual hiring is done by the school principal. Robin was then given names of several schools where she could apply for jobs. She then called for an appointment with the principal. Robin applied at the Kester Avenue School. First, she had an interview with the principal who de- termined whether she was the type of person he wants to supervise his students. She was then notified of her acceptance in the mail and when she was to report for work. On the job Robin finds several aims and objectives she has to attain, such as: 1. To observe simple courtesies and proper table manners in the cafeteria and at other eating areas. 2. To leave eating areas neat and clean. 3. To proceed to assigned play areas in a quiet orderly manner after eating. 4. To observe all safety and game rules. If there are ever any problems, Robin goes to the principal, who is her immediate superviser, or to the teacher who serves as chairman of Noon Duty play- ground director. Problems of routine nature may be discussed with the teacher and serious matters can be taken up with the principal. The principal will also advise Robin as to the best use of other resource personnel such as the school nurse, physical education director and the youth services spe- cialist. Minor injuries are referred to the school office. ffsisf 'v 3 ,,.ys,f ,f S 1 ':aziEgi . 'ff' Q. '- L Vx l---an-. , - 'TT aim Thrift is one lesson 'fought to Kesfer Avenue youngsters by director Robin Sounders. While on duty, noon aide Robin Saunders must observe the program in the area for which she is responsi- ble, taking note of needed improve- ments and suggestions to the teacher chairman or principal. In some cases she may be asked for an evaluation sheet on which will be recorded the organization, attitude of children, knowledge of game safety and needs, safety hazards and supply needs. When Robin is assigned to the yard, leave there learn to be she must meet children as they the eating areas and remain until it is cleaned. She has to to be safety conscious but not over-protective, watch for haz- ards on the schoolground and report them to the principal. The whistle is to be used sparingly and only for discipline. Robin must also be under- standing when children bring their problems to her. Although the work is difficult and many times trying, Robin finds much satisfaction when pupils consider her as a someone to come to with their problems. If a student is scared of the director this accomplishes noth- ing and may hinder the director's supervision of the grounds. The noon period is a vital part of a child's school day and should con- tribute to his physical, mental, moral and social development. Because this job is so important, Robin feels that she is assuming a professional re- sponsibility, not only to the school but to the pupils who depend on her supervision. The supervision that Robin gives will enable the educa- tional system to improve. K, .4 Wi?

Students wept unashamedly as professors canceled clas- ses with voices that were barely audible. News spreads quickly on the Valley campus and within minutes all knew what had happened. Few believed it. Students raced to the parking lots and their car radios. KLVA broadcast the tragedy to the Quad area as speakers spread the gloom over the cafeteria. Immediately following the announcement of the President's death, the Star Spangled Banner was played. This time it meant something. Hundreds of times we had heard this majestic piece before, but somehow this was the first time it carried such meaning.

From the President of the United States on down, college students found themselves in frequent and close contact with public ofiicials who visited the campus and the area that it serves.

Edmund G. Brown, who spoke to a Saturday meting of the League of Women Voters in the Little Theater and talked with students of the college on several occasions. At the California Newspaper Publishers Association in Coronado, the Governor held a press conference for college newspapermen, where editors Brent Carruth, Roger Karraker and Dennis Burns interviewed him. A frequent and highly vocal Democratic critic of the Governor, Los Angeles Mayor Samuel Yorty, spoke to a large crowd as part of the first-semester Quadwrangler series. The mayor continued his running war with the City Council and called for Valley citizens to support his drive to get city charter revisions put on the ballot. Although not an actual politician, Carey McWilliams, editor of the political magazine, The Nation, was the success of the season, if controversy is the criterion for success. Known for his admittedly liberal views, Mc- Williams was picketed outside the Little Theater, and inside he faced an audience that was at times openly hostile to the Athenaeum speaker, who ironically urged dissent in American society.

Not to be standing in the lurch, Republican vote- getters also made their philosophy known to the col- lege students. As part of a program by the Young Republicans Club on campus, actor and now political commentator Ronald Reagan entertained an 11 a.m. audience in the Men's Gym early in the first semester. Reagan described the nation's slipping prestige and called for the election of his good friend, a United States senator, to the Presidency. Reagarfs good friend turned out to be conservative spokesman Barry Goldwater, who addressed a mam- moth rally in Dodger Stadium and returned to the state for Newspaper Week ceremonies in San Bernar- dino. Goldwater's primary opponent for the Republican nomination, New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller., also turned up in Los Angeles for a speech and campaign reception. The highlight of the reception came when a pert young girl walked up to the smiling Governor and introduced herself as Joanne Goldwater, daughter of another popular Presidential candidate.

Earlier this month Washington columnist, Drew Pearson, closed out the list of political figures on the Athenaeum series with his talk on national and inter- national affairs. The Quadwranglers' morning speaker series, which returned to the campus after a year's absence, also fea- tured Ed Mosk, brother of state Attorney General Stan- ley Mosk, and a debate on the merits of the john Birch Society between speech instructor and Quadwranglers adviser John Buchanan and Bill Richardson Califor- 7 7 , nia coordinator of the john Birch Society. -Nmqvw NIU ,ff Henry Miller carries his case to the people as several students in the Quad listen to the presidential aspirants. Two close personal friends and Executive Council colleagues were featured in the main event of the A.S. elections just before the start of the second semester. jan Yacobellis and Henry Miller each sought the presidency of the student body and waged fierce cam- paigns. Miller finally came out on top in the election which had a heavy turn out. Miss Yacobellis was not outclassed, however, as she led Miller and Lee Rosen in the primary the day before. Her performance in both days of balloting brought her closer to the presidency than any other girl in col- lege history. Although suffering from a lack of candidates for several posts, the race for the presidency aroused such interest that a record 1,247 votes were cast. Culminat- ing a week of campaigning was a hectic two days of balloting, when the three presidential candidates stayed at the college nearly around the clock corralling votes, then spent the few remaining hours making posters and planning demonstrations for the next day. Parades, bands, noise and constant personal contact by the candidates swelled the primary election figures. Miss Yacobellis appeared to have an insurmountable lead of more than 100 votes higher than runner-up Miller or the now-eliminated Lee Rosen. But, with the polls open only four hours the fol- lowing day, Miss Yacobellis' lead dissolved in a union between Miller and Rosen. Rosen went on radio KLAV to urge his supporters to back Miller, and some four hours later Miller slipped through with a rather sur- prising 401-528 win.

Throughout its 15-year history, Valley College has had executive councils that have ranged in performance from good to less than mediocre. This year the college has been blessed with student officers who have directed an upsurge in student participation in all phases of campus life. At the semi-annual Executive Council-IOC banquet held in january, these officers received the final recog- nition of their service for the semester. The awards they received are really small compensation for the long hours council members put in guiding the school. Of the six Council members who received out- standing service trophies for first semester work, only one, Henry Miller, returned for the second semester. Miller, A.S. treasurer in the fall, assumed the presi- dency of the student body at the banquet, only minutes after reciving his service trophy. During the fall Miller planned and applied the larg- est budget in the history of the college, a sum well exceeding 3180,000. Marilyn McMahon had the time-consuming job of recording the minutes of all Council meetings. Along with jack Easton, Jan Yacobellis, Miller, Colleen Fer- guson and Student Activities Dean William E.

Dances, rallies, sports nights and assemblies were more numerous than ever, and a record number of students turned out for them, thanks to the careful planning of Miss Ferguson. Jan Yacobellis, student body vice president and IOC president, was responsible for the increased activity of clubs on campus during the fall semester.

United in IOC, the inter-organization of clubs at Valley, is a forum of the 54 approved campus organizations, bound together for one purpose-service to the school. Helping assist the clubs in promoting campus and social activities is Jan Yacobellis, IOC president and vice president of the Executive Council. Dr. Margaret Crawford, assistant dean of student activities, is faculty consultant for the IOC. For the first time in its 14-year history, IOC has made it mandatory for clubs to be represented at the meetings by their presidents. Formerly, clubs could be represented by any member. In explaining this point, Miss Yacobellis stated, Under our new system club presidents, who are best equipped to explain the problems and functions of their clubs, attend our meetings, and as a result, communica- tion between the IOC and club members has been improved considerably. The clubs work throughout the semester, trying to gain activity points which are credited towards the most Active Club on Campus trophy. The award is given on a point basis, with points being awarded for activities such as voting, Club Day and club attendance at school functions. purpose International Club president Mitch Robinson looks toward another member who has opened discussion. 57 IOC was set up mainly to bring about a closer relationship between campus clubs. Under the leadership of the presidents jack Easton and jan Yocabellis, IOC membership rose from six to 34 clubs. Presently under the guidance of Miss Yocabellis and her adviser, Dr. Margaret Crawford, the clubs are able to hash out problems in a discussion period conducted at 7 a.m. every Tuesday. Member clubs profit from the experiences of the other organizations. Discussion on the Hoor centers around club service to the school, where stiff competition is waged, with the Most Active Club on Campusv trophy as a prize. Before a club becomes a legal campus organization, it must submit a charter to IOC council, which must be voted upon in a Tuesday meeting. When the constitution is approved, the group is officially a Valley College club, and earns a seat on the IOC council. Dr. Margaret Crawford, assistant dean of student activities and a new addition to the administrative staff this year, is the IOC faculty consultant. ss. Q, , ' Qld J: - .

My il wr' All 70 of the campus club presidents and sponsors gathered at the semi-annual IOC banquet held last fall to help bring about a closer relationship between the sponsors and presidents. The banquet was held in the cafeteria and was ar- ranged by president Yacobellis and IOC vice president Dave Darvis, president of the Knights. The main objective of the banquet was to give Miss Yacobellis a chance to inform the presidents and spon- sors of the semester goals of IOC. The banquet afforded the first opportunity for the presidents and the sponsors to gather on a social basis. One highlight of the banquet was the presentation of a birthday cake to Owen Fraser, sponsor of the In- ternational Club, celebrating the club's first anniversary. IOC has sponsored many activities which give the clubs an opportunity to work together for the school. One event was the Freshman Welcome Barbecue, for which each club worked in some way to make the barbecue a success. Representatives worked as hostesses and hosts, others cooked and still other club members cleaned the bar- becue pits. The success of the barbecue is just one example of how IOC has brought the clubs on campus closer together-with the big winner being the campus itself. ., , ,,., Q ,,,,, ,,,, , .,,.,,.,.,,.,,,,,..,.,,,,,,,,,.,,,,,,,, V, 4?W 4f'MW5?9??65f3f7':'-,'?kfz?50?3??K fi' President McNelis is always prepared to meet the students' problems head on -in his office in the Administration Building. President IVloNeIis is people, too The stereotype picture of a college president-sombre and sullen-cer- tainly does not apply to Valley's William McNelis. On the contrary, his warm, sin- cere, casual manner is mirrored in the friendly atmosphere among the students on campus. In his easy- going manner, he has established an identity with the students he must come into contact with daily. President McNelis is people too, certainly pinpoints the reason why he has captured the heart of Valley. In his office, McNelis proves to be a man of many facets, as he coolly and efficiently handles the myriad of problems that confront him daily. As president of the third largest junior college in the state, McNelis' responsibilities are legion, and for the past five years he has performed them. At the same time he has raised Valley from a small, almost provin- cial school in the San Fernando Valley to one of the most dynamic institutions in the state. Weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. are spent with some 13,000 stu- dents, his Monday through Friday family, while weekends are set aside for his wife Doris and his two sons, Steve, 17, and Don, 14. Responsibilities of a husband and father do not cease for a college president. Figuring budgets, dish- washing, grocery shopping and gar- dening-typical everyday problems -also apply to him. President McNelis early Saturday morning faces a day of chores which have piled up during the week. A family breakfast is first on the agenda, followed by a squabble about whois going to do the dishes. President McNelis loses, and he is chained to the kitchen sink with a dish towel. The morning progresses, chores are finished, leaving the president an afternoon free for leisure activities. l w-, , The McNelis family gathers around the table for a Saturday morning breakfast. Being president ofa college doesn't exempt McNeIis from doing the breakfast dishes. President McNelis enjoys fishing trips, riding in his Sunbeam sports car, basketball and golf. He manages to - keep his golf average low with a weekly putting prac- tice in his living room. President McNelis also admits that his son Steve is the surfer in the family, but he personally sticks to body surfing as a sport. This family plays together and also works together. A, teacher father has a few more problems to solve than the average parent. They come under the headings of algebra, chemistry, geometry and Latin. His son Don thinks these mathematical and scien- tific compilations given to him as school homework should be a breeze for his Dad, and, therefore, corners him nightly for tutoring. These few incidents in the life of the president clearly demonstrate that president McNelis is people too. Putting into a glass keeps president McNelis' golf scores out of triple figures. .v v-.--N-,.n, ....... ...,. wx' afternoons WW,WwWW W'M fi 4' 4.

The completion of the Phase III con- struction project in February left Valley with five new buildings. With only one of the four origi- nally planned building phases re- maining to be completed, Valley can say that it has accomplished much since the expansion program was initiated just a few years ago. The five structures of the Phase III project and the other buildings completed in Phases I and II will serve as constant reminders of Val- ley's ability to push -ahead. The buildings seem to get better as each phase is completed, and Phase III has proven to be no exception. Phase III construction was started in the early part of 1962. In Febru- ary of this year, the Art building, Life Science Building, Business- Journalism Building and the Plane- tarium of Phase III were occupied by Valley students. The building cost of this phase came to 352,700,- OO0, bringing the total cost of the first three phases to 556,227,000 As a result of the completion of Phase III, Valley now has five more accomplishments which would satis- fy any school.

Practicing what they teach Each year Crown magazine chooses certain teachers who the staff feels have excelled in some specific phase of education. This year these teachers have been chosen for professional achievement in their own field as well as in the classroom. Noel Korn, head of Valley's anthropology depart- ment, is dedicated to making learning more enjoyable for the elementary school child. He is a Part of the select group of educators who produce classroom films. Korn believes in the theory that more learning takes place when the atmosphere is relaxed and the pupil is unaware that he is being taught. Educational movies provide just such 'a situation. The student's mind is free to marvel at the unusual life of a forest weather- man, his imagination can be swept away by cartoon characters in a science film or he can become inter- ested in the lives of foreign children as he learns a new language. ' The first segment of Korn's extracurricular profes- sion involves researching the Curriculums of large school systems so that he can determine which subjects the teacher could best use this type of aid in. He has found that grade school and junior high school teachers are accustomed to using films as a teaching aid and are anxious for good ones to be made available. As he studies his chosen subject, often doing a good deal of traveling, Korn tries to obtain a proper perspec- tive of the entire field. Only then can the films be shot or animated, scripts written, edited and marketed. Korn and his associates handle the entire operation. Korn feels that as a teacher himself he can better understand young people. A good many of the educa- tional films made today approach their subject from the angle of advertising or promoting interest in some particular field, rather than from the child's viewpoint of natural curiosity. Our purpose is to satisfy that curiosity. 4,7 is ' A 80 Flovlo Cobrol inspects ci mural which he has lust completed The art of self expression comes easily to Flavio Cabral, who finds self expression in his art Using a style he calls contemporary classical, Cabral paints for a variety of purposes H1s works have been shown in major U.

His painting is known for his disciplined brush, elegiac mood and richly' luminous pallette. He translates his thoughts into deeply expressive colors and rhythmic patterns.

She is presently state women's doubles badminton champion. A 13-year veteran of Valley's physical education de- partment, Miss Pons has held this doubles championship from 1959 to 1961. In 1962 she ranked third in the mixed doubles competition. In the 25 years Miss Pons has been playing bad- minton, she has entered more than 100 tournaments, and won more than her share of them. Miss Pons first entered competition shortly after her graduation from the University of Southern California in 1944. Since then she has been teaching in the South- land and regularly entering tournaments. A graduate .of Marshall High School, Miss Pons graduated from USC in just SW years, then taught at Foshay Jr. High School, San Fernando and Polytechnic High Schools before coming to Valley just one semester after the school's opening. Known as one of the most cheerful professors on campus, Miss Pons also teaches archery and volleyball in addition to her badminton classes. Off campus sports such as bowling and golf vie with badminton for her time.

'24--, ' - - 1-.r tl 1 -' V ' y t ,p :big g gg ji Photography is Earl Theisen's first interest, and his natural ability as a teacher has provided him with his second interest. Now senior photographer for Look Magazine, Theisen has had a lifetime of experience to draw from in teaching his evening division photography class at Valley. He re- gards his teaching as a laboratory, and as a learning experience not only for his students but for him- self. Emotions and feelings rather than facts keynote' the class discussions. Theisen's method of instruction places emphasis on the student's opinions of his own and his fellow student's work. Theisen uses ideas as a primary teaching aid. Instructing a class where art, psychology, philosophy and technique mesh, he has found a way to make photography an un- matched personal experience. Theisen awaits the verdict ot his Look Magazine editor, as they choose pictures for an article. Earl Theisen, lecturer, is shown here with TV star Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore on an assignment for Look. M 1 H 1 ,. ,,,g.g,. , ,-, -' '11 , ,.

His interest has led him to search for and advance the consciousness of the forces working to create a new world of mass society. Dr. Mayers feels that people who try to analyze their problems rationally are also irrational and that their emotional expression is of the utmost importance. My own orientation is to indicate the steady need for new functions for old, leisure orientation in place of work addiction, emotional expression as being as vital, if not more significant, than rational approaches, stated Dr. Mayers. We have to find a place for the individual in the large scale organization without sacrificing him to the new Leviathan. Such persons have to learn to participate in the great dialogue of consensus in a democracy and to find the means of producing the positive social changes that arise out of dissension, he continued. Richard A. Knox, associate professor of music, ap- proaches his work with the philosophy that success depends not on material gains but on the giving of one's self to enrich others. Knowing you have contributed to a successful stu- dent, says Prof. Knox, and the continuing friendships with former students are the greatest rewards in teach- ing. Choral music and the direction of choirs hold a special fascination for him. Prof. Knox leads several groups, both from Valley and from religious or- ganizations. The music he most prefers teaching is that of the Renaissance and the Twentieth Century. In Professor Knox's opinion, Valley's superior facilities and fine staff can look forward to producing numbers of outstanding- ly successful graduates in the field of music. A multitude of people the maternal product and eventual consumer of has work, flank sociology professor Dr journalism adviser Edward A. Irwin has more than one deadline filling his busy work week. The thinnish instructor not only supervises the week- ly workings of the Valley Star and Crown, but he lends his spare time during the week and weekends to im- proving teaching standards throughout the country. During the past eight years, he has held the vice presidential post of the American Federation of Teachers on the national level and guided the local AFT as its president for more than six years. So when he is not teaching, Irwin often travels to New York and other parts of the United States to sit in on committees. Emerging from the conference rooms after long hours of debate, the staunch supporter of education hopes to have gained benefits for the teachers he represents as well as the students. On numerous occasions he has spoken before the Board of Education and on radio and television urging the improvement of teacher welfare, personnel practices and educational policy. Not only does the dedicated teacher spend many of his free days working for the AFT, but he is often called upon as an after dinner speaker. So it's a full time job holding down these positions of teacher and union leader. t l. Journalism instructor Edward A. Irwin, national vice president of the American Federation of Teachers, talks with State Superintendent of Public Instruction Max Rafferty and L. A. Board of Education president Georgiana Hardy at an AFT conference. The world is a stage on which every man must play a part. This cliche applies to the life of'Patrick Riley more than once, for as an actor he portrays numerous charac- ters on the stage plus the role of a Valley College theater arts in- structor. Riley's experience in the entertain- ment field adds to his capability as an acting teacher. ' He has directed or acted in more than 150 plays and acted for 37 weeks in a radio series, Tell me a Story. Riley toured as company manager for the Children's Theater, an adult professional company playing to children, from 1953-56. He staged the opera, Martha, and appeared in the movie, Riot in Cell Block 11. More recently he has appeared on many television shows-Tombstone Territory, Zane Grey T h e a t e r, Stoney Burke, Follow the Sun and Death Valley Days, numbering just a few. Riley, still keeping active in the field, came to Valley in September 1961. He began teaching the tech- niques of stage make-up, stagecraft and the history of the American theater. Riley now adds stage acting classes and the directing of two productions a year to his schedule Patrick Riley, cn professional actor, comes out from behind the lights to instruct his acting class at Valley.

P Passport Graduates proudly march offstage, where moments before they accepted their A.A. degrees in front of friends and relatives. to futures unlimited The graduation ceremony and dis- tribution of degrees at Valley Col- lege marks an important milestone in the life of each participating stu- dent. For some it is the termination of two or more hard years of study which have led them to the end of one road and to the beginning of another that leaves them to fend for themselves in their chosen ca- reers, in this hustle-bustle of the modern world. Numbered in this category are 139 of 588 of this year's graduates. The remaining 449 students will use this diploma as a passport to carry them to many different insti- tutions of learning to explore furth- er the professions they have chosen. There are 188 graduates of the class of '64 who have reached this important goal in life, who are mar- ried and supporting families while completing their college education. Several graduates are past35 years of' age, and 18 are past 45. These older students have returned to col- lege to take supplementary courses or just to finish what they were un- able to do at an earlier stage in life. Contrary to popular belief, the Associate in Arts degree is not al- ways acquired in a two-year period. Only 90 graduates attained the proper number of credits this year to receive the degree in that period of time. Approximately 350 have taken from 25 to SM years to receive theirs, and 148 have taken 4 years or more. Students who are anxious to com- plete the prescribed number of cred- its are able to do so in two years with no difficulty. But those who work and have outside responsibili- ties usually take lighter courses and take longer to receive their degrees. Majors of the graduates vary greatly. They range from education, business, engineering and math- science to physical education. Despite variations in age, majors and years of study, graduates unite on their final day at Valley to say, Au Revoir, Alohai' or just plain goodby, as they leave the campus that has become a part of them and which will always be different and better for what they have given to that campus. Once a Monarch, always a Mon- arch, they realize as the A.A. de- gree changes them from college student to alumnus. Dean William Lewis gives final instructions to graduates, bringing many weeks of preparation to a close. Last year's distinguished guest speaker was Dr. Max Rafferty, state superintendent of public instruction lrightl shown with Dr. Ralph Richardson, member of the Board of Education, who awarded the degrees .ul XX Graduation ceremonies at Valley College are highlighted with selections supplied by the Valley College choir and band. K n aaxzz.-.-1 Orchestra tubas strike up the graduation processional under the baton of Earle lmmel. Setting the solemn, yet joyous tone of each Valley College gradua- tion is the music of the college band and choir. The present 80-member choir is under the direction of Richard Knox, head of the music department, and the 50 piece band is conducted by Earle lmmel. A typical graduation ceremony be- gins when the band strikes up the processional. Heading the line of march will be the guest speakers followed by the faculty in the tradi- tional black cap and gown, de- corated with gay braids of red, yellow, blue, grey, and a variety of other colors, which represent depart- ments as well as particular univer- s1t1es. Graduates numbering 588 file in couples and fill the front rows. Then the choir sets the pace for the brief program by singing Gloria in excelsis Deo., or maybe the special selection will be Jubilate Deo. After the talks and presentation of the all-important degrees by the persons entrusted with this respon- sibility, the band concludes the pro- gram with a lively march, which hurries the graduates to the waiting arms of loved ones who share with them the joy of accomplishment. An air of excitement prevails as graduates wait for the processional to begin. Commencement, one step toward The format of all Commencement exercises is basically the same. The graduates are different, the speakers are different, the setting is different, but the message that is delivered to each graduating class by the pres- ident of the college and other dis- tinguished speakers is essentially the same. For Commencement is an end not only to one phase of life, but is the beginning of a whole new ex- istence. The college is losing hard-work- ing students who have personally, through grades and spirit, con- tributed to the name Valley College has made for itself in high standards across the United States. The business and industrial world is gaining well-qualified young men and women to step into top posi- tions-young people who have worked hard for the knowledge they have acquired, and who will make Valley College proud in years to the future come. The college extends special thanks to the parents of these students who have helped and encouraged them to choose the right pathway, the one that led them to the doorway of knowledge at Valley College. The graduates in turn thank every- one in the community for giving them the facilities that were at their disposal. Without this free educa- tion, which was provided by local taxes, many of the 588 graduates on the Stage would not be there. They realize that they owe their education not only to the staff and faculty of Valley College, but to the whole community. These basic ideas are usually con- veyed in the speeches on graduation day. However, one idea or goal that was set years ago in the minds and hearts of each of these 588 grad- uates has been attained-the A.A. degree. f: . 1igIL:is 1j, ,, A . - Q, f.. , ,,. ., ,,,. . , I A , ,- --5 f94Ha5'n-away, , .MMI ip i I if, . . , Hx v.' ,, - ,,'.- . . , ,,,,,i As the ceremonies start, the graduates line up in the old Quad.

Attorney-at-Low Ed Masry sits behind his desk planning The outline for his next legal encounter. In its years since its inception, Valley College has had literally thousands of alumni go into professional fields. The quality of these graduates, as typified here, ranks with the graduates from larger, better known univer- sities. The list of Valley's outstanding alumni is of such magnitude that only a representative few can be in- cluded in Crown magazine. Now a highly successful Los Angeles attorney, Ed Masry has come quite a ways from the athletic field and Executive Council chambers of Valley College, where he graduated a dozen years ago. While at Valley, Masry served as president of the Associated Men Students, Lettermen's Club and finally A.S. president. As a side1ight Masry also found time to be chosen the outstanding athlete of 1952. After a three-year hitch in the Army, Masry returned to Valley for another semester's instruction before going to the University of California at Santa Barbara and Loyola Law School. Masry is now the senior partner of the law firm, Masry, Hartley and David in downtown Los AngeleS Alumnus Mike Seeger has not only gone on to bigger and better things since his days at Valley, but has been bringing them back to the Van Nuys campus. A sociology major in the days of the college's infancy, Seeger is today the registrar at Granada Hills High School, and during the evening comes back to Valley College, this time to teach. The University of California at Los Angeles became Seeger,s home after he left Valley in 1961, and three years after entering UCLA, Seeger joined the Los An- geles City Schools as a teacher. Since then Seeger has done graduate work at USC, UCLA and San Fernando Valley State. Seeger holds a Master of Arts degree from Valley State. Alumnus Musry arrives at the office that he and two others have founded in Los Angeles. Mike Seeger completes the 12-year cycle of student to teacher ot Valley College as he instructs his night school class. Ron Wfagenbach, former Valley College student, re- cently formed a partnership with Tim Viole, also a Valley alumnus, in the construction business. The pair, reunited for the first time since they scan! ned the Valley gridiron in 1951, have formed their business of building custom homes, apartments and of- fices in the Southern California area. Wagenbach, a journalism major here, went to San jose State, where he received his B.A. degree in journal- ism in 1954. After graduating from San jose State, Wagenbach entered the Army as an athletic director. Three years later he received his discharge and went into the business world. Advertising and public relations were his fields until recently when he left Ford Motor Company's public relations office for his new-found career. The year 1960 found English major Karen R055 in Valley College's graduating class. Miss Ross, interested in children, has the distinction of leading a Brownie troup while attending Valley. She held various student body oflices during her tenure here. In the spring of 1960 Miss Ross transferred to the University of California at Berkeley, where her major was elementary education. She was graduated from Berkeley in the spring of 1963 and is presently work- ing toward her teaching credentials at UCLA. Alumnus Ron Wagenbach heads for his office, where a full day dx..

QW Ka 9 3 1 Q et . umja. ,Q .Q .iz Gi A journalism degree from Valley has proved to be the key to success for Dave Siddon, long time news- paperman in the Valley and now one of the most respected public relations men in Southern Cali- fornia. After numerous years at the Val- ley Times as business and sports editor, Siddon now operates in a public relations firm in Los Angeles, specializing in commercial corpora- tions. A burly ex-Marine Corps MP, Siddon has covered professional football for the Valley Times, where he twice a season came into contact with Don Shinnick, the venerable linebacker with the Baltimore Colts. Shinnick played linebacker and fullback for Al Hunt's squad before he went on to UCLA and then the Colts. Public relations expert Dave Siddon handles accounts for several industrial firms in the Southland. All-pro linebacker Don Shinnick makes final arrangements before his upcoming game between his Baltimore Colts and the Los Angeles Rams. The movie-makers shoot for the stars A college can place a technician or an engineer, but an actor has to make it on his own,,' said Robert Rivera, associate professor of Theater Arts, paying trib- ute to three alumni who did make it on their own . . . Sam Altonian, Bob Totten and Victor French. Sam Altonian, producer, Bob Totten, writer-direc- torg and Victor French, actor in the film The Quick and the Dead. Without money, friends or backing in the movie field - without having anything but a lot of gumption - these three have earned and reaped re- wards from their pioneering spirits and confidence. Totten, a former 10th grade drama pupil of Bob Rivera, attended the Pasadena Playhouse after graduat- ing from high school. Altonian had been a song-and- dance man, then a theatrical agent for seven years, and French had aspirations of becoming an actor. The trio, meeting for the first time in 1956, excelled in all phases of the theater-producing, directing, set design, costume design and acting. i'The Quick and the Dead, written by Bob Totten and Shelia Lynch, was the beginning of an idea for the pioneers. Sam Altonian was given the job of selling the story to a studio. The group then sat back and waited. Altonian, a salesman with his know-how of the thea- trical business, was able to talk a small Hollywood stu- dio into advancing them some money to start. The trio laid plans. They couldn't afford a studio, so they settled on Traduca Canyon near El Toro Ma- rine Base as the stage for their operations. The scenario was nature's own, and the sun was the lighting. The budget couldn't afford to pay actors, so they corralled all of the available talent at the Valley College Theater Arts Department. Bob Rivera became dialogue director and actor. Leading actor Ed lVictorl French tells theater arts mayor Joe Reale lleftl and two other students his problems in making the feature length movie. Quick and the Dead producer Sam Altonian answers a question with an interested listener, after he and other alumni conducted a panel session. An enthusiastic, packed house applauds the crew of The Quick and the Dead after a screening of the film. Each day's production became a race against time. To get more mon- ey to keep going, they had to be ready to project their rushes every day. If the day was cloudy-produo tion stopped-if an airplane went by-it stopped again-if the birds decided to fly-production stopped. The members of the cast did not dare be sick, for the cameras had to be kept in operation if the day's shooting was to be good. The Wilton Theater was to be the first test of the movie. The pic- ture passed with flying colors. Its popularity zoomed on to new The success of the picture opened new paths for Totten and Altonian - both were offered contracts by Warner Brothers Studio. The suc- cess of these two men can be meas- ured by the five-figure salaries they now command. Spencer's Mountain, which was co-directed by Totten, led him on to the directing of other great movies. He was the unit director on Youngblood Hawke. Television also gave him a chance to direct some segments on Hawaiian Eyej' The Dakotasi' and the Gallant Men. heights and played in more than 70 major theaters throughout the Unit- ed States before giving a command performance before the Queen of England. Presently it is still playing in England and in the United States. Frenchls career rocketed into parts in television productions. He has acted in segments of Grindl, Temple Houston and the Kraft Suspense Theater. 1 The registration counter, manned by four soon to-be-hurried office clerks, opens to large crowds to Evening Division students who must now go through Learning after dusk This year there is but one major thing that differen- tiates the Evening Division from the Day Division- darkness. In previous years, registration for the Evening Divi- sion was not too difficult. A new program has been initiated into the Evening Division this year, enforcing more strict admission requirements. Although, because of technical difficulties, the program is only partially in effect, it will soon be used in its entirety. The Evening Division student must now meet the requirements of the daytime student. He must have a high school diploma or be 18 years or older in order to qualify for evening registration at Valley. Students having no previous record of college must now submit a complete high school transcript or an equivalent. According to Donald W. Click, dean of Evening Division, an appreciable amount of college work may consist of approximately 12 units. Students having a number of units at another college may submit their college transcript in place of their high school transcript. , ,. .

Now there 's only one difference-darkness Why are the matriculation requirements being changed? Many of the Evening Division students are well aware of some of the foremost reasons. Enrollment in the Evening Division has now reached more than 7,000 per semester. Making enrollment requirements more difficult will cut down the number of students. However, the new system is designed, not to exclude students, but to make sure that those students seriously wanting an education are guaranteed an opportunity. Although the new matriculation program for the Evening Division is only partially in effect, its motives, more organization and better chances of success for the student, seem quite evident. 100 ar- 111 naar- wr- ---' .1 nra.u..

So good was the plot, characters and message that it would be easy to pass over the professional work of the production staff. With precisioned timing, the light- ing was excellent. The tempo of Tea and Sympathy never slowed, with action always exploding on the two-stage setup. Its technical excellence, along with well-schooled ac- tors, made it a fast-moving play with a lasting message. Team came as a surprising breakthrough in the college theater with its emphasis on the message of tolerance. Val1ey's Tea and Sympathy was, indeed, drama at its best. jerry Brown delivered his stellar performance with overpowering command. In his part asa sensitive youth, fighting for manhood, he outwardly craved the love which Miss Burnett, as Laura, was ready to give. So good was Brown's showing that he drew notice to the universality that man is too quick to judge other men and often hates in them what he actually dislikes in himself. Magnetically Miss Burnett showed such genuine warmth that it seemed in complete keeping with her own character. It was as if she were playing herself. As the pulse of Tea,'t she gave the play the affection which made it a hit. Truly, Miss Burnett lived and was Laura Reynolds. Roy Lennert was so convincing in his part as Tom Lee's father that his acting provoked hate at times, and in other instances the audience was moved to sympathy for the man who was so out of touch with reality. On the other hand, jan Crawford was just as dy- namic in his character of Tom's somewhat understand- ing roommate. He instilled hope, companionship and love into Tea, emotionally packed rincipals Laura and to grips with reality.

Books, books, books, books, books, books, books, books ,... 54,000 books. This is the present total of bound volumes available in the Valley College library. Librarians are finding it increasingly difficult to store these books in a building which was originally designed to hold 44,000 volumes. This number is in- creasing by leaps and bounds, since the library receives well over 1,000 books a month. Expectations are high that extra school tax income or federal aid will soon supply the much needed addi- tion to the library. Book shelves are temporarily replacing the desks that were available for students doing class work. Al- though this crowded condition exists, limited study facilities are still available. The seating capacity, how- ever, has been cut to 380. The main section of the library, which was once a study hall, is now restricted to browsing. The heavy iniiux in volumes has necessitated the hiring of extra librarians and 15 student workers to help with cataloging and shelving. Mrs. Marjorie Knapp, Mrs. June Biermann, Mrs. Barbara Toohey, Richard Mohan and Mrs. Dorothy Griffin can be found daily from 7:45 a.m. until 4 p.m. to help with any book problems. Librarians predict that by the year 1966, unless remedies are found, 16,000 books will be shelfiess.

An absorbed student takes advantage ofthe materials from all over the world as he leafs through a magazine. Freshman elementary education major Caroline Kaptain has her book checked out by substitute librarian Doris Mandy and reference librarian Richard Mohan. Microfilms, magazines and newspapers enhance the practical utility of the Valley College Library. The periodicals room is a separate section away from the bound volumes. It has 500 monthly and weekly magazines, 17 newspapers, 839 microfilms, 20 indexes and 606 college catalogs available for student use. Because of crowded conditions that also exist in this section of the library, any magazine issues over five years old are put on microfilm, which is sold to students for 10 cents per magazine page. These periodi- cals also include copies of the Valley Star, Crown and Sceptre magazines, the college publications. The walls of the library are stationary until money is received to begin construction of a new addition. Until then, books, books, books, books are still the problem. The uses of microfilm are demonstrated by librarian Mrs. Barbara Toohey. The roll of film she is holding contains a picture of every page in the year's magazines in front of her. Librarian Toohey checks out the microfilm reader to sophomore Michael Mularky, who wants to use past issues of one of the library's 541 periodicals. . -Q. , , ZX: -- T1 ' I 1 'Pm R- r 1 l .Q -fr, 32 Q, ,P .- s -- - ' -'- . . -, ' f 1 I '-1 :. , 3' T, -Xa-A 411 -57.- CU 'Wu l i l i 'Nw-,.,,. ,,,.,.-N Entering ValIey's lion's den of learning, first semester history major Joe Wallek passes through the unique library turnstiles.

Held on Dec. 16 and 17 the sale was completely organized and run by students. It was the first sale of this type held at Valley though Mrs. Zella Marggraf, club sponsor, had been thinking about the idea for several years. I feel that the sale is a valuable teaching tool in that it is practical experience for the students on how such an exhibit is run. It also pro- vides a prohtable outlet for the stu- dents' work and helps stimulate community interest in art educa- tion, Mrs. Marggraf explained. Before objects could be entered in the sale, they had to pass a' stu- dent jury and meet with the clubls high standards. Items sold every- where from 5151 to 31375, with most things between 35 and 51620. The most expensive items sold was a metal sculpture of a horse by Pat Jameson, club president, which was sold for 375 to Mrs. Elizabeth B. Whitten, associate professor of English at Valley. A wide variety of work was dis- played and sold. Paintings, sculp- tures, ceramics, jewelry, serigraphs' and drawings were purchased by faculty and community members who made up the largest portion of the customers. Publicity for the event included posters, both on cam- pus and off, mailed announcement folders and newspaper coverage. Next year, club members hope to get radio and TV coverage to pub- licize their sale to an increasingly interested public.

However, when a trip abroad is simply out of the question, the Valley College language lab may be the next best thing. This facility, which is located in the Foreign Lan- guage building, was designed primarily to give each student the opportunity to become exposed to languages through the use of tapes and recordings made by the native countrymen. Each student is able to choose a particular record, according to his capacity in the language, and learn the correct pronunciation. He is also placed in the situ- ation where he is able to answer questions and make statements in the language into a tape recorder and compare the pronunciations with the native speaker. This supplement to the foreign language courses at Valley has been in operation for four years. This lab, which is in use 30 hours a week, has recorded a total of 3,000 student hours spent in the facility in one semester. The lab itself contains 150 records and tapes, with 300 grammatical lessons and songs at the fingertips of any interested student. The languages covered in these lessons range from Spanish, French, Italian and Ger- man to Russian, joseph Puig, the newly appointed chairman of the foreign language department, expressed a hope that some day the language lab would be used in regular classroom work. He feels that if the language would be spoken throughout the class hour, the student would be exposed to the actual situations which would be encountered if he were to go to that country. Lisette Wan adiusts the master control panel that regulates the language and tape going into each booth in the lab.

A student takes the first step in getting his minor questions answered quickly and easily. On-duty counselor Dan Meanssolves a small problem by telephone while he awaits another student. First aid tor little problems Instant counseling, an answer at your fingertips, is the latest innovation of Valley's ever-progressing counl seling staff. Introduced in the fall of 1963, the program is organized so that the student may drop in to the lobby of the Administration .Building almost any time and get an answer to quickie questions. A drop-in counselor, on duty from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, answers questions of every variety, both for cur- rent students and people who telephone. Calls of this nature used to go from clerk to clerk, but are now answered swiftly by the rotating staff. All the counselors, plus the placement and test co-ordina- tors, help out in this new venture. The main idea is that no appointment is necessary. The student used to have to make an appointment and then wait several days to see a counselor to ask a 2- minute question. When the problems get too involved for the drop-in counselor, such as when scholastic rec- ords must be considered or when special literature must be provided, the student is referred to a regular appoint- ment with one .of the staff.

Freshness, precision of sound and brilliance flow from instruments of music. Keeping this in mind, Assistant Professor Earle B. Immel, conduc- tor of Valley College's orchestra, strives for the ultimate in achieve- ment whenever directing a perform- ance. Valley provides an excellent op- portunity for serious musicians to display their talents, offering one of the only day orchestra courses in this area. The course has been of- fered for 15 years at Valley. Prof. Immel feels that in offering orches- tra, the potential of the students can be more fully realized and subse- quently developed to a greater ex- tent. Y Piano is also an important part of the Valley Orchestra. Here Wendell Jacobs adds that needed tone to the practice piece. The 55 members of the orchestra form an outstanding group of mu- sicians, and what they lack in num- ber they make up in quality. The orchestra is endowed with excellent brass and wind sections. One of the orchestra's most versatile instrumen- talists is Dave Weston, who is able to fill in for the cello section besides playing the baritone saxophone. Headed by concertmistress Mela- nie Eddy, the orchestra maintains a vigorous practice schedule during the week in the music building. Two campus concerts were scheduled to be performed in the latter part of the spring semester, allowing the or- chestra to prove the old adage, Practice makes perfect.

Included is a spacious rehearsal room and a complete recording studio capable of mak- ing tapes from anywhere in the entire building. Valley College has more potential than any other college in this area, says Immel. He also feels that the emphasis put on the performing arts, such as orchestra- tion, for Valley College, is providing a valuable service for the students. The Valley College orchestra does not settle for me- diocrity. It tries to present the best it has to offer each time it performs.

'l fan.. .,.-Q Typewriter keys A skillful writer has the ability to paint a clear, con- cise, colorful picture of any important event through the use of a few well-chosen words. With the touch of typewriter key, he can describe a bank robbery, a political convention or a courtroom scene in such detail that the reader is brought directly into the story. The art of brief, concise writing is one of the many techniques learned by the 400 journalists at Valley. The writing student is placed in a learning situa- tion where he is faced with typical problems that exist on the large metropolitan newspapers and magazines. There are also photographers who work in conjunc- tion with the writers to produce the pictures that make the publications complete. The staff of the paper, The Valley Star, has posi- tions corresponding to those on the metropolitan papers -editor, managing editor, city editor, etc. These managers follow the stories from their pri- mary stages as they happen until the type is set and the first papers come off the presses. The same procedure applies to the magazines Crown, Inside and Sceptre, which give those who wish to specialize outside the newspaper field the opportunity to use their talent. Classes in beginning journalism prepare the writer to think logically, to write in a special journalistic style and later to assume the responsibilities of an editor. These editors are given the opportunity to work with and to manage other people. Each student learns to be a leader as well as an artist in his own right. The editors of valley's tive publications show the versatility of the talents of the journalism department's 400 students.

He gains experience, en- hances his vocabulary and perfects his particular style by taking many assignments on the various publica- tions at Valley, which were designed for this express purpose. There are three magazines and a weekly newspaper available for the journalist to demonstrate his writing ability. ' The Valley Star, The Voice of Valley College, which appears on the news stands every Thursday morning, is rated as one of the top junior college papers in the nation. Reporters cover any impor- tant events which have direct eEect on the student body. This includes on and off campus happenings. Dale Robertson, who is chief photographer for the iournalism department as well as for Inside, Sceptre and Crown magazines, spends cz considerable portion of his time in the inner recesses of the new darkroom.

H ,,.,,.,mg,ey.:ga Leo Garapedian, who advises the sports page of the newspaper, also doubles as an editorial adviser and handles the staff of Sceptre, the Evening Division magazine. At the City College print shop, assistant managing editor Bobbi Wagner and editor Carruth go over last minute changes in Star schedule with shop manager Chuck Robinson. A unique feature of the Star is its editorial policy board. All edi- torials must be thrashed out in a weekly meeting where seven editors and a representative of the publisher decide what the Star's opinion will be. An editorial topic is put on the floor for discussion by any member of the board. After thorough dis- cussion, the editor calls for a vote. The agreement of the board must be unanimous, for one veto by any member kills the editorial and a new topic is introduced. This is why the Star can say, All editorials repre- sent the unanimous opinion of the entire staff. This semesters editorial board members included Brent Carruth, editorg Roger Karraker, managing edi- torg Colleen Ferguson, city editor, Mikki Rohaly, copy editorg Ted Weisgal, news editorg Dick Shumsky, sports editor, Steve Chaton, assistant sports editorg and Leo Garapedian, representative of the publisher. Entering the field of magazines, there is Sceptre, a monthly night school publication, whose editor is Joe Dojcsak, fourth semester journalism major. It is strictly a feature magazine which is representative of Valley College life. Crown is also a learning tool. It is a yearly maga- zine annual which is designed to tell the story of Val- ley College for that particular year. It is mainly a pic- ture publication. This yearis editor is Roger Karraker. Inside magazine, under the editorship of Dennis Burns, is published in conjunction with the journalism departments of the seven LA junior colleges. It gives students working on the magazine an opportunity to work with writers outside of their home college. The college handbook, which is prepared to help the new student entering Valley, is put together under the direction of Shirley Paul. These magazines and the newspaper give the jour- nalism student at Valley College the opportunity to improve by writing, writing, writing. fn N l - -in 5. P f W x f 'K N - x - ' ' ..

Valley is my beat Officer Holmes qualifies for his marksman rating on the Academy pistol range. One of the best examples of a course offered at Valley that may be both a terminal and transfer pro- gram is the police science classes, taught by live professional instruc- tors. Modern law enforcement tech- niques have made it necessary for police officers to take educational classes above their regular police training if they intend to go into positions requiring administrative ability. With classes covering the full range of police activities, the em- phasis is upon preparing the junior college terminal student for posi- tions on local police forces and also providing a transfer program for those students who are attemping to obtain a bachelor of arts degree. One example of a police officer who fills all of these bills is Sergeant Paul Holmes, an evening school stu- dent who divides his remaining time between normal police work and a stint as instructor at the Police Academy. Holmes first went through the Police Academy some nine years ago but is today taking classes at Valley so that he can transfer to a local university and obtain a degree. The 33-year-old Air Force veteran credits his classes at Valley for get- ting him his recent promotion to sergeant. Holmes placed 18th out of the 1100 applicants. The faculty of the police science department is composed of five full- time policemen who teach clasess in their specialties at night.

Of the five senses, sight and hear- ing are the most valuable to educa- tion. Classroom demonstrations and lectures require both senses for the student to learn. But Valley has more than just classroom demon- strations and lectures in which those two senses are necessary. Valley's audio-visual department supplements the demonstrations and lectures with films, slides, records, filmstrips and other aids to educa- tion. Under the directorship of Paul H. Mitchem, coordinator of audio- visual services, and Kenneth Palmer, audio-visual technician, the AV de- partment performs a multitude of services for the school. Probably the first thing a person thinks about when he hears audio- visual is hlms for motion pictures. A large part of the AV department is devoted to purchasing, stocking, supplying and choosing educational films for Valley. Part of the 33,000 spent yearly by the AV department has .been used to purchase approximately 160 films over the 10-year span which the department has been in opera- tion.

This scene is re-enacted daily at the San Fernando Athletic Club, where Kara works out from 4 to 5:30 Monday through Friday, keeping in shape for meets in which he contests for Valley College. Kara has been diving since the age of 11, when upon parental advice he signed up with instructor Nick Rodionoff, under whose guidance he has grown from an inexperienced boy to a nationally known diving champion. Kara held the all-city championship record for three years, and the AAU state age group contest for three consecutive years. He also ranked ninth in the nation in the National AAU springboard diving cham- pionship. Kara's diving skill boasts the perfection of such difficult exhibitions as the forward 3 W, the reverse 1 M with a 2 16 twist, the back 2 MZ, the reverse 2 W and the inward 2 lk. If Kara places in the first 10 in the nationals this year with these dives, he will be sent to the Olympic , tryouts, sponsored by his athletic club. Kara's diving perfection is ac- complished through many long hours of rigorous training. Bob Freidlander, water polo captain, strokes after the ball trying to get possession of it for Valley. And just enough to swim in 6 Adjusting to any situation seems to be the specialty of Valley's Bob Friedlander. Friedlander, who was captain of the water polo team and recipient of honorable mention awards in the all-conference voting of the Metropolitan Confer- ence for water polo, plays basketball and participates in track and field events. He was graduated from Grant High School in 1962, where he was active in sports. Although his greatest accomplishments have been in water sports, Friedlander has thrown the discus a commendable 130 feet and more. He is able to make adjustments within a sport as well as from one sport to another. When he played basketball, Friedlander alternated positions between guard and forward, playing guard toward the end of the season. He lettered in water polo and was chosen as the most outstanding water polo player at the college by the Lettermen's Club. Friedlander hopes to transfer to UCLA, where he could be an asset for the Bruins with his versatility. After getting possession of the ball, Freidlander tires into the net- scoring one point.

One of the best known of Val- 1ey's denizens of the chlorinated deep, john Sato holds two national records, a ranking of seventh place in the world and a good chance to represent the United States in this year's Olympic Games. Holder of the national 100 and 200-yard butterfly records, the 19- year-old product of Los Angeles High School is well on his Way to- ward becoming one of the best known representatives of Valley College. Although he has been swimming for only the past seven years, Sato's performances have reached the state of perfection, for record-breaking has become expected and common- place. In his second year of competition, Sato hopes to transfer to USC or one of the Big Ten swimming schools. As one of the top rated amateurs in swimming today, Sato may well end up in the Olympic Games in Tokyo before he trans- fers to a four-year school.

Marino Rczdoumis goes up after 0 shot that lust cleared the net on cu return smash. Although it doesn't have as much publicity Or as many spectators as the football, basketball or baseball teams, the women's volleyball squad has a record that would be envied by any of the teams of the stronger sex. Virtually unheralded on campus, the 'WAA volleyballists have not tasted defeat in four entire years. They are presently defending cham- pions of the Southern California Junior College Women's Volleyball Association, and coach Ruby Zuver calls the group the finest junior college team in the nation. Competition hasnft been arranged to prove Miss Zuver's contention, but one thing is certain: no one in Southern California can come close to the record Valley has achieved. Probably the closest competitor, I..A. Harbor, faced the women last semester in the finals of the South- ern California tournament. Playing in a two-out-of three time limit set, Valley knocked off Harbor with little trouble. Harbor bounced Champs-- back, however, and tied Valley lin the second game at the end of the regulation time limit. In overtime Harbor slipped through for a nar- row victory. In the third game thoughts of Valley invincibility began to falter when the contenders jumped off to a quick 6-0 lead. When Valley fin- ally got the ball, server Diana Hoff- man ran up a string of nine straight points to take the lead and finally pounded out an 11-7 win for the tournament championship. Leading up to the tournament, the women played a regular season schedule, where they methodically disposed of Harbor, Santa Monica, Pierce, Fullerton, Ventura, East Los Angeles and El Camino. But even with their success, the women so far haven't been asked to perform during the halftime of a football or basketball game. After all, what male team would want to play second fiddle to the weaker sex? to say the least With hands up ready to return the ball, Gail La Pask is oblivious to all action other than on the court.

Valley seems to have discovered the recipe for track coaches' delight. In fact, if a track team were food, Betty Crocker would jump for joy. Such ingredients as Otis Burrell, Dave Irons, Steve Shepard, Leonard McElhannon, Pete Davis and Mar- vin Murray help make Valley's track team so good. This season Valley has done es- pecially well in the relay events, using various combinations of those mentioned above as well as other members of the team. Many of the squad's points have come as a result of individual efforts of many members of the squad. Bur- rell ancl Irons have been consistent in making good showings in their events and have captured many points for the Valley cause. Although not particularly strong in weight events such as shotput and discus, a team effort in other events, as the relays and jumping events, has made Valley one of the best teams in its conference. Coaches George Ker and Ralph Caldwell should be well satisfied with ingredients of their team which is a cake deserving only the frosting of a championship. ll surf.

V Mig, Y- .,.xm, School record holder, and one ofthe fastest hurdlers in Southern California The old superman bit of faster than a speeding bul- let, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound may well describe Valley's Otis Burrell. An all-around performer in track, Burrell excels in many events. He has joined the small group of human beings who have high jumped more than 7 feet. Only about 15 or 20 men in history have attained this fan- tastic height. Burrell was the ninth American to reach the 7-foot barrier. Although 7-foot jumps aren't even as tall as a one-story building, he is a superman in his own right. Burrell's great jumping gives him the ability to ex- cel in other track events, such as hurdling and the triple jump. jumps of well over 40 feet in the triple jump have netted Burrell and Valley many points in track competition this year. He has also done well in hurdling events for Valley. Although not nearly as fast as the slowest bullet, Burrell even runs in some of the relay races. Burrell's performances in all of these events have helped Valley to field a good track team. -- we f ,. .. ,., p... V - , r V 1 -v-N W ,N ' 1 -M ,V vw ,.... .. ....-,M .,...,,. .

VaIley's boiler plant, which generates the heating and hot wafer facilities for the college, is checked by one of ValIey's custodians. What? Valley has no maintenance men of its own? Actually the cus- todians, gardeners and high pres- sure engineers are classified as op- erations men. Maintenance men such as carpenters, plumbers and painters are based off campus in Van Nuys. There are two main divisions of operations men. The custodians, headed by Walter Toborg, building superintendent, form the major part of the operations staff. Harvey Mey- nard is the principal gardener. These men compose the rest of the staff. Forty-two custodians perform scores of tasks including cleaning of buildings, shipping, receiving sup- plies and distributing materials around the campus. These men work continuously on three different shifts. Probably the busiest shift is the graveyard shift from 10:50 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Twenty-six of the cus- todians perform their duties while the school is vacant. Fifteen more custodians complete the array of men who maintain most of the tech- nical aspects at Valley. The Big Three of maintenance on campus, Walt Toborg, Paul Marfin and Ted Takane. As head of The department, much of Toborg's time is involved in paperwork and recordkeeping. if 7? -W1 ' 'HW 491' M, .f 6, 7 f J? ,, R. , W, . ,, f' ,N - ive. 2, 'mi is -I , 1 I E S i Qan- if fl fl' the Helping direct students to correct offices and buildings is just one of the many tasks Y performed by Mrs. Julia Pope at the information counter. There are 52 hard-working clerks and secretaries I filling two shifts to keep up with the 13,000 students enrolled at Valley. These people include all of the secretaries and clerical workers in the Administration Building as well as the library, health oflice and other parts of the school. There are about 16 daytime workers who handle Admission duties, four in the tabulating room, six working in the Evening Division and approximately six keeping the affairs of the library. The entire staff encompasses clerks, clerk-typists, clerk-stenographers, stenographers, secretaries and others. One of the leading clerks is Mrs. Julia Pope, the information clerk in the Administration Building. An- swering questions such as, Where do you register? or, Where do I see a counselor? over and over, all day long, requires extraordinary patience. Mrs. Pope surely must be blessed with the gift as she is constantly being riddled with questions. The women behind the men Answering questions, however, is only one of the many tasks which Mrs. Pope performs. The college's lost and found is located in the information office, and Mrs. Pope keeps track of this. When the switch- board operator is not working, she is also relegated to that additional task. Mrs. Pope is only one of the many clerks who are really behind-the-scene workers. Without the entire staff of classified help, the college would not be able to function. A quartet of secretaries handles much of Valley's registration and counseling problems in the Administration Building. From left are Mrs. Leah Pflueger, Mrs. Barbara Tiffany, Mrs. Viola Dillon, student Michael Goldring and Mrs. Dorothy Cappella with Dean of Admissions Dr. John Reiter. A zealous cafeteria worker, Ellen Peterson, clecrns up the food oreo after ci busy school lunch period. People at Valley consume great quantities of food as well as great quantities of knowledge. Mrs. Virginia King., head of the cafeteria, and her Staff devote many hours a day to feeding Valleyites. Between the cafeteria and the food vending machines near the Quad, a few thousand students and faculty members eat the numerous varieties of food offered. Needless to say, feeding so many people is a big job, but Mrs. King and her hard working staff are equal to the task. The coffee urns in the cafeteria and the coffee ma- chines near the Quad almost never get a rest as approx- imately 30 gallons of coffee are drunk by thirsty stu- dents and faculty members daily. Pies are a great favorite of those who patronize the cafeteria since baker Martin Gordon excels in preparing these culinary masterpieces. From 15 to 30 cafeteria staff members, depending on the time of year, work on school days preparing such tasty dishes as roast beef, salads, doughnuts and other specialties. As the professors contribute food for thought for Valley's minds, Mrs. King and her staff continue to pro- vide food for Valley's many stomachs. Hunger pangs away Hmmmmmmm good-is the usuol expression ofthe student body after they taste the gourmet's delight. Here baker Martin Gordon pulls his own creation out of the oven os Mrs. King looks on. Z. .afw-fa V. ...VW f 45248 lf 4- .-. I M4 -.
