The old order passes from the scene with a hushed tread, while the new order flares forth with dancingfeet to the sound of syncopate strains of music and the abandoned laughter of youth. FOREWORD I .?v[ the spirit of this new order, La Encina for 1928 should present a vivid portrayal of the move- ments to the fore of Occi- dental College during the past year, and should equip its readers with a lasting remembrance of the faces and facts so familiar and treas- ured during their undergrad- uate days. May these days of campus life long be hal- lowed and revered. £a«!4.

Written by Dr. Ward 1927 T5he Tear Just Past THE past year has been one of advancement for Occidental College. In every phase of theinstitution ' smanifoldactiv- ities and interests, great strides have been taken to the fore. Changes have taken place, and progress has been the keynote throughout. A greater unification of ideas and spirit, a closer conformity to the principles as set forth by the founders of the college, and a birth of new thought for the betterment of Occidental College -these are the factors which characterize the outstanding year just past. -Acknowledgment CAMPUS life and activities have prospered by means of various changes and additions both to the Associated Students, and also through that organization. Erdman Hall now forms a new unit for the housing of upperclass women students. A new building is in process ot construc- tion for the use of undergraduates in the form of the Student Union. The campus has been beautified by the addition of many unusual botanical specimens. For gifts such as these Occidental College is in- debted to her many friends.

Qleland Vice-President of Occidental College (Acting President the First Semester) THIS boo is the record of a college year. It contains a summary of life on the Occidental campus for 1927-2S. It concerns itself with the achievements of individual students, with the activ- ities of a wide variety of organizations, with things of many inds notably and successfully accomp ' lished. It is a boo which will be read with eagerness today and cherished with ever increasing regard by those of sentiment and appreciation as time goes on. In this indeed lies its most lasting value — that some of you far down the century, after the noontide of life has come and gone, from time to time will turn to it again and read from its pages the account of inci- dents long since forgotten, loo again upon the famil- iar faces of those long since and forever gone, and dream anew of friends and associations long since formed when for four good years you lived as stu- dents in this place. Dr. Robert G. Cleland 32 1 Officers of Administration DttdH BuYt. Thomas G. Burt came to Occidental in 1909 and has since then served as dean of the college and professor of logic. He took his A.B. at Hamilton College in 1895, his M.A. at the same institution in 1898 and received his Ph.D. at Kansas City University in 1901. Dean Burt has active supervision of scholarship, student conduct, admission, registration, study lists, and other duties too numerous to mention, including mem- bership on important faculty committees. Dcdll vAyerS. Since 1917 Irene T. Myers has been dean ot women at Occidental, and professor of history. She has a myriad of interests and duties to attend to, among which are — supervision ot the women of the college, as individuals, and also as resident groups; surveillance and control of all social activities in campus life, and many others, aside from her teaching activi- ties. Dean Myers received her A.B. at Bethany College, and her Ph.D. at Yale. Fred McLdin. In Fred F. McLain we have an Occi- dental Alumnus whose entire lite since graduation has centered around the college. After finishing his course Mr. McLain was made graduate manager. He served at this position for several years, and then as the administration was enlarged to keep pace with the growth of the college, Mr. McLain was appointed the comptroller. All appropriations and expenses must go through his hands, and he makes all arrangements for deferred tuition. Doctor CoOIXS. Arthur Gardiner Coons graduated from Occidental in 1920, took his M.A. in igii and his Ph.D. in 1927, both at the University of Pennsylvania. He has returned to Occidental as an assistant professor in the economics depart- ment, and was appointed executive secretary to the president. As secretary. Dr. Coons relieves the president of much ad- ministrative duty and he also handles all public relations of the college. All student-administrative matters have to go through his hands. I 33 Che Faculty AMONG the various other things that are included in a college, there is usually included a somewhat vague and shadowy something referred to as the faculty 1 ' . At least that is the impression gained by the average outsider as he reads of this or that college excelling in sports. Occidental has the sports all right, but it also has a faculty— and a good one ! Occidental ' s Faculty has always been a source of much pride to those who hold the institution dear. It has been the policy of the administrators of Occidental to secure only the very best men and women possible to serve as professors and instruc- tors in the institution, and now after very careful selection and some weeding which has been found necessary, Occidental can boast of a faculty per- sonnel which is on a par with any in the country. 34 Among the faculty members that are prominently known are five science professors to whom recogni- tion has been given by a national scientific who ' s who . There are also a number of faculty members who are in great demand as speakers for all occasions from church services to banquets. Then there are faculty members who have gained recognition by the books they have written. One professor is presi- dent of the Los Angeles City Council, another is one of the best known Shakespearean authorities in the country and another has done extensive investi- gation and much practical work for the Government along economic lines. Many others on the faculty have also gained prominence outside the institution. La Fttcina I 35 5he -American -Association of University Professors THE American Association of University Professors is a national organisation whose membership is open to any person of the rank of instructor or above who has taught in any creditable college or university for at least three years. It is not as is often supposed, a union for the betterment of compensation for its members, although it has worked along the line of obtaining a living salary for the profession it represents, but the main object is to provide a means of gathering groups of college professors together for discussion of vital problems. The Asso- ciation also provides a medium for investigation into cases where charges of unfair treatment have been made, and pressure is brought to bear to relieve such condi- tions. At Occidental there is a branch of the A.A.U.P. consisting of about twenty members. This group meets monthly at the homes of different professors and dis- cussions about pertinent campus subjects. The officers of the Occidental group are: Professor E. E. Chandler President Professor Raymond M. Selle Secretary 36] n T5he Faculty Women ' s Qlub THE Faculty Women ' s Club is an organization of all women of the faculty, and the wives of all faculty members. It meets once a month at various homes of its members for a social good time and for discussions of various campus topics of interest to them. The Club has been sponsor for many of the social activities on the campus, and has always responded willingly to the appeals for aid at such functions as the Joint Reception. The Faculty Women ' s Club has been in existence for about 12 years. At the present time the officers are: Mrs. Charles Lindsley President Mrs. Fred McLain Vice-President Mrs. A. N. Cook Secretary Mrs. J. Hudson Ballard Treasurer Siv - 1 37) -H £ v T -Administrative Wheels HE administration of any institution such as Occidental College may well be ikened unto a great machine, its gigantic wheels ever turning, turning, turning — sometimes a little faster, sometimes a little slower — but incessantly grinding on. Big wheels on long, well-balanced axles; little wheels revolving rapidly, and making lots of noise; geared wheels to turn other wheels, some with large teeth, and some with small; wheels which become overheated very easily; well-lubricated wheels which never show signs of wear; chattering little wheels which throw grease out on the other wheels; wheels which are continually be- coming broken, necessitating frequent changes; wheels, wheels, wheels, — seem- ingly a contused and complex mass of machinery, turning, turning incessantly. Big wheels turn little wheels, which in turn drive still smaller pinions — wheels within wheels, and then still more wheels within them, until it is impossible withal to ascertain from which shaft the pristine power is generated. The President and the Board of Trustees are two large geared wheels, each helping to turn the other, but without any visible source as to their own motive power. An even larger ghost wheel is operating these two, perhaps — it might be the ghost of Alma Mater which supplies the initial power to drive the two main wheels. Under these, and operating in direct harmony with them — for little wheels geared to big wheels have no alternative — are three more geared pinions, of which the central has slightly larger teeth, but which is nevertheless so closely confined by the other two that its power is minimised by their proximity. Each of these appears to be operating independently of the other, and yet all are dependent upon the larger wheels tor their very motivation and driving force. Below these five major driving shafts is a series of still smaller wheels, constructed so as to be quickly interchangeable m case of a break, and therefore not fitting as well as the larger and more seasoned ones which drive them. These wheels are small, and have no great driving power; and yet they make more noise than all the rest, whirling away for short periods until they are broken because of a flaw in their structure. But as these little wheels are as easy to buy as Ford parts, there is no great trouble caused by their breakage. In fact it is not even necessary to stop the machine in order to make a change, so accessible are their driving shafts. Over at one side of the engine a wheel of almost negligible dimensions is operating at such a terrific speed that it nearly tears itself from its axle. In fact, at such a high speed does it travel, and with such great noise and confusion, that lubricants supposed to cool its driving axis are melted and thrown out on other engines operating nearby under like conditions. The rest of the machine is made up of wheels, wheels, wheels, — a jumble so com- plex that it is impossible to tell which wheel is driving, and which is being driven II 38J -hJL Division wheels, Group wheels, Departmental wheels, Committee-on-Committee wheels, Committee wheels, Organisation wheels, — all small machines revolving within the one whole, and yet not independent of it. If the ghost wheel of Alma Mater were to stop its driving, the two large wheels would continue to spin for a time because of the momentum they had attained, but they could not go on for long. And it would be the noisy little wheels which would stop first because they are not heavy nor well-balanced enough to turn without direct driving from the larger wheels. So the great engine continues to turn, steadily, surely, ever turning on, driven by the ghost wheel of Alma Mater. Little wheels are being changed continuously when a chance to improve the running qualities of the engine is noticed — some- times they break before their flaws are discovered. The huge, driving wheels keep on turning as the changes are being made, turning, turning, turning. THE STUDENT Booy A record of the facts and figures of the associated students for the past year. The undergraduate person- nel making up the student body. 40] -Associated Students THE past year has been for the Associated Students of Occidental a year of progress. The success of the year has largely been due to the able leader- ship of Neal Archer, as Student Body President, he has given unsparingly of his time and of himself in the in- terests of the college. This year the having of the frosh was taken over by the Associated Students, the Sophomore class had pre- viously trained the incoming freshmen in the way they should go. The freshmen were given a very cordial and effective welcome under this new system. The D.O. club served as enforcers of the law. Parking on the campus has, for sometime presented a difficult problem. The college grounds with cars strewn everywhere gave a decidedly bad impression, besides being a menace to safety. Special sections were specified for parking and fines were imposed on any students parking their cars outside of these specified areas. This method has proven very effective and has greatly improved the appearance of the campus. Another quite vital problem centered around the honor spirit. It has been more of a system , and an effort was made to make it more a spirit among the entire student body. Some alterations were made in the administration of the honor spirit. Anyone reporting a case must appear as a witness, was ruled; before the person reporting the case could keep his identity quiet. The honor spirit is an important thing and the violator hurts his college, his friends but most of all himself. This year Occidental had exchange programs with different conference colleges. These fostered a spirit of friendliness and cooperation. The usual connections we have with other schools are always in a competitive field and the exchange programs are extremely helpful in cementing friendly relations. This year has seen Occidental rise in her prestige, it has filled the O with deeper meaning to those of us here and has shown the community around that Occidental is alive and vital. Neal has displayed to all of us the true spirit of the Tiger in the fine service he has rendered this year. Occidental salutes her chief who has led her through the past year of progress. NEAL ARCHER President A.S.O.C. •V V -H+A 41 1 b Executive Qommittee THE administration and control of the Associated Students of Occidental College is centered in the Executive Committee. This body settles all ques- tions arising regarding school activities. It supervises the finances and policies of all college organisations. By the student constitution, the Executive Committee is composed of A.S.O.C. officers, president of Associated Women Students, the graduate manager, a faculty member appointed by the president of the college, and an alumni representative, chosen by the alumni council. The members of the committee this year were Neal Archer, president A.S.O.C; Florence MacLaughlin, vice-president; Lucile Ankeny, secretary; Mary Lou Jordan, president A.W.S.; Charles Osgood, athletic representative; Kenneth Holland, forensic representative; James Bone, editor of the Occidental; Edward Hackett, editor of La Encina; Robert Donaldson, yell leader; J. Phillip Ellsworth, graduate manager; Dr. Arthur Coons, faculty representative; and Glen Lembke, alumni representative. Neal Archer was chairman of the organization. He presided at meetings and was an ex-officio member of all other committees. He had the power to appoint student committees and under his leadership student body affairs were efficiently con- ducted. Florence MacLaughlin was vice-president of the group. She was chairman of the election committee, and voting was held under her supervision. Furthermore, she was m charge of all social functions, and the numerous college parties and social events of last year were largely due to her efforts. Lucile Ankeny, as secretary, kept a record of the proceedings of the Associated Students and the Executive Committee in a very good manner. She also carried on all official correspondence of the college and kept the student files. Women ' s affairs were largely under the control of Mary Lou Jordan. Especially plausible work was done by her and her assistants in organising the freshmen women. In the position of athletic representative, Charles Osgood kept records of all athletic insignia awarded, and all sports records made. He had general control of sports, was chairman of the Athletic Council, and did much to better athletic relations with other colleges. Kenneth Holland supervised forensic activities for the past year. Under his close and efficient direction, a very successful debate season was conducted. James Bone was very successful in editing the weekly paper. Last year the journal grew both in size and popularity, due to the work of Bone and his efficient staff. uJL 4 1 ARCHER HACKETT MACLAUGHLIN DONALDSON OSGOOD JORDAN BONE LEMBKE X ' HOLLAND COONS Edward Hackett edited La Encina for the second time this year. Under the general supervision of the Executive Committee, the book has been bettered in many respects, and credit for it goes to Hackett and his appointed staff. The best bleacher stunts in the history of the school were conducted last year under the leadership of Yell Leader Robert Donaldson. Rallies were better than usual, and an overflowing amount of pep was generated for all athletic contests. Graduate Manager Phil Ellsworth had charge of all financial matters of the Asso- ciated Students. He deserves especial credit for the efficient way in which he managed the large football games of the past season. Dr. Arthur Coons represented the faculty at meetings, and brought about a closer bond of friendship between students and instructors. The alumni body was represented by Glen Lembke at committee conclaves. Better student-alumni relations were fostered, and the alumni were kept in close touch with the college. •w V H ' A 1 Fn aria 191 -h+A l43l The Occidental Honor Spirit AN EDITORIAL SOMETHING intangible, yet vitally felt by all its adherents — that is the Occidental honor spirit. To those who have been students at Occidental for three or four years, this spirit has become dear — a living tissue which cannot be destroyed although its perpetration be threatened by those who have not as yet caught its full significance and meaning. A person cannot put his finger on this spirit and figuratively say that he has been impregnated by it, nor can he say that it has never been presented to him clearly. This spirit is presented every day on the campus and m the classroom by those who have it — the others perhaps are not even trying to obtain it. Cheating in examinations is such a baby trick that it ought not even be brought up for the consideration of college students, yet this question is being discussed m practically every institution of higher learning in the United States because of its importance. Not only is the matter of the utmost importance to a person in his undergraduate days, but also after he has left his Alma Mater. A person who will stoop to cheating in his lessons would surely not hesitate to cheat in his other endeavors. Therefore, it is of vital importance that a spirit be built up in Occi- dental which will so scorn cheating of every kind that such tactics will never even come up for consideration in the minds of its students. For the building up of such an honor spirit it is first necessary that each person be firmly convinced in his own mind of the childishness of such tactics, aside from any moral issues which may be involved. By the time a person reaches college he should certainly have enough self-respect to keep him from using dishonest methods in order simply to satisfy his own selfish ego by obtaining that which he would be unable to do by honest methods. A college education will mean to a person just exactly what he gets out of it- no more and no less. If a person receives his diploma after four years of cheating —-or after only cheating once — he will have a certain feeling of regret as he stands with the other members of his class who have honestly done what he could not or would not do. For cheating is nothing more than a weakness which anyone can overcome if he will only set out to do so. Think of the pleasure which is always derived by accomplishing something which at first seemed almost insurmountable. This is the pleasure which is obtained by a person who after four years of hard honest labor is finally rewarded by his college diploma. Such pleasure cannot help but be somewhat stinted by a feeling that Well, I got it at last, but I had to cheat a lot to do it. A person who receives his diploma under such circumstances consequently starts out his life work — what- ever it may be — under a handicap. Let us each one strive to do our bit toward the building up of this new Occidental Honor Spirit, a spirit which will live forever and which will mark our campus throughout the years to come. 44] Honor Qourt THE honor court was established by the Associated Students for the purpose of hearing cases in violation of the honor system, and in order to carry out the punishments which have been fixed for those so violating the system, for it was clearly discernible that not until each individual realized that he could build up or destroy the morale of his college by his own actions would Occidental achieve that spirit of honor for which she is striving. This court is appointed by the president of the Associated Students, who acts as judge, and is composed of six other upper class students. It is hoped that before long this court may be discontinued, when each student will take it upon himself to see that he remains above any sort of dishonesty. honor court members Neal Archer Kenneth Holland Robert Donaldson Mary Louise Jordan Edward Hackett Mary MacPhie Roberta Taylor W 45] Graduate VYCanager F PHIL ELLSWORTH EW students realize the responsibility and amount of work placed upon the Graduate Manager. The work in connection with (athletics, finances, scheduling of games, buying equipment, management of trips is in itself a great ft task but the work does not cease here. He is also a .ritfe member of the executive committee. Supervises the book-store, buys the books and supplies, and is ultimately responsible for the finances of all student body activities, organizations and publi- cations. As graduate manager since 1925, Phil Ellsworth has fulfilled these duties effectively, and has also found time to listen to the tales of woe from dis- gruntled athletes and dissatisfied students. Pleas for work, requests for complimentary tickets, and protests about supplies, equipment, conditions on trips and numerous other such things have all been handled ably since Ellsworth has been in office. Ellsworth has been able to devote much of his time to unofficial duties because he has so efficiently handled the other phase of his work. Many new ideas have been brought into use which enable him to shift a large part of the minor detail of the work to the student manager. Among these new ideas the competitive manager system is outstanding. Each year several assistants are trained under every student manager, thus making available a trained man for each job. Publicity has also been augmented by using this system. A separate man is responsible for the publicity in each sport so assuring the college of the publicity that it needs. Under Ellsworth ' s promotion the two biggest athletic events in Occidental ' s history have taken place. The Hawaii-Occidental football game staged on Thanks- giving Day at the Los Angeles coliseum in 1925 and 1927 each drew better than fifty thousand spectators and a profit of five thousand dollars as well as an unusual amount of publicity. Tours and trips arranged under the management of Ellsworth have also gained the college much beneficial publicity and have been responsible for drawing many students to Occidental. Outstanding among these trips was the invasion of the east in 1927 by two tennis stars, Norval Craig and Ben Gorchakoff, who won much fame for Occidental because of their success in the eastern net tourneys. Other trips were the eastern invasion of the track and debate teams; the playing of the Tiger football team at Arizona against the University of Arizona, and trips to the northern part of the state by basket ball, football, track, and tennis teams. All of these trips including the voyage of the football team to Honolulu this year, have been successful financially as well as gaining much fame tor Occidental. I 46 b Athletic Managers THE competitive athletic managerial system is in use at Occidental. Under this method, managers are appointed on the basis of work rendered during their freshman, sophomore, and junior years. Thus, the senior manager is sure to be experienced along his line of work, and more efficient results are obtained. Ed Hackett was football manager this year. Under his supervision, transportation for teams was arranged, equipment looked after, and grounds kept in good order. Much of the morale of the team depended upon the work of the manager, and the success of the season can be credited in some degree to Hackett. Kenneth Williamson managed the basketball squad to perfection last year. The gym was kept in good condition, practice tilts arranged, and details of games attended to. Williamson ' s work did much for the squad ' s obtaining the championship. Track management was handled by William Condit and in a very efficient manner. Cinder equipment was guarded and transported, records kept, and meets arranged under his direction. Ted Ellsworth was baseball manager for the 1928 season. His work in keeping line-ups and records and accounting for all balls, as well as attending to managerial duties was praiseworthy. Ben Gorchakoff managed the tennis team. He arranged for meets with many dis- tant colleges, kept the ranking records, and supervised all games. Management of the book store carries with it much responsibility and work. Under Ray Hayworth these duties have been done efficiently and in a manner which has been financially beneficial to the student body. Leo Smith became manager of the bank for this year. Under his scrutiny the campus banking work was carried on in a successful manner. Y-fiV. ia IM ' wd 7SF V 1 47 I Occidental Traffic Commission THE Occidental Traffic Commission was established in 1926 to cope with the problem presented by the great influx of automobiles on the campus, both in regards to parking and as a precautionary measure. Rules for automobiles were laid down and enforced by the commission, and trials were held regularly for those who thought the fines and ordinances were unjust. The commission this year has co ' operated with the Los Angeles Police Department and the Automobile Club of Southern California in handling the machines at all the athletic contests as well as other campus gatherings with the result that traffic has been greatly facilitated in the adjoining neighborhoods and accidents have been greatly reduced. The traffic commission is composed of a chairman and four upper class students. MEMBERS OF TRAFFIC COMMISSION Edward Hackett, Chairman Paul Newell Stanley Petit Neal Archer Ted Hayes E4«J Qhapel Qommittee E NFORCED religion is at best a problem. A new atmosphere is being emanated from Occidental ' s Chapel period and it is becoming an accepted and desired part of the college ' s life. This group put its best thought and planning back of Chapel; and this year, with the change in time of assembly, the Associated Students reaped the benefits of the improved system. Dr. Ballard, the able chairman, has given short talks dealing with concrete problems and religious experiences, ritualistic services being inter- spersed from time to time. Occidental was fortunate in securing the services of some eminent speakers among whom were numbered Kirby Page, Dr. Freeman, and Bishop Stevens. PERSONNEL OF COMMITTEE Dr. Ballard, Chairman Neal Archer Dean Burt Mary Louise Jordan Dean Myers Paul Newell Dean Cleland Mildred Foreman •K ft 49 J c F K ally Qommittee IT IS the duty ot the Rally Committee to conduct all college rallies and pep demonstrations, and to supervise the bleacher stunts at games. The body is composed of a chairman, appointed by the student body president, the editor of The Occidental, the yell leader, the student body president, and six students named by the chairman. The committee last year was very successful. Rallies were held before all football games, and the spirit in the bleachers was splendid. Huge rally bonfires were built and ignited on two occasions. A novelty last year was the entering of Occidental in the radio rally contest and the radio broadcasting of a Tiger rally. Another innovation was the stag rally at the beginning of the football season, which was pronounced a great success. MEMBERS Robert Donaldson James Bone Neal Archer Harry Ritchie, Chairman Larry Powell Paul Newell Harland Hoak Florence MacLaughlin Lyle McAllister Carolina Marshall IMA 1 503 Election Committee THE election committee at Occidental is an important functioning body. All arrangements regarding elections, as well as counting ballots, become the duties of this body. The vice-president of the Associated Students, this year Florence MacLaughlin, always holds the chairmanship of the committee. The other members are chosen by representatives of the Associated Student Executive Committee. All candidates elected to office must receive a majority of the votes cast rather than a plurality as in usual plans. Because of this and the close competition for offices most elections having more than two contestants must have two sets of votes cast. The election committee functioned very ably, choosing competent election officials. Also theirs was the task of scheduling elections and arranging for the necessary publicity on measures to be considered; this, also, they did in an efficient manner. The members of the committee consisted of: Florence MacLaughlin Marjorie King Paul Newell Social Committee SOCIAL affairs of the student body are within the scope of the vice-president of the Associated Students ' duties. Usually a definite committee has been chosen to function throughout the year, however, this year separate groups for every affair were appointed by the vice-president, Florence MacLaughlin. Many social affairs were given this year, perhaps the most successful given by the student body was the Christmas dinner in the commons, the Thursday night before Christmas Vacation. Also the student body committee collaborated with the Dransen Club and with the D.O. Club in their dances both of which were given in the Alumni Gymnasium last fall. Mrs. Julia Pipal as faculty advisor assisted materially in this capacity. •K r issa lafttcinal 1 51! $ V • - . JL ' - - 3 Sc-fc ' i ' -l ' -o J- Stude?it l ?ncm THE present tentative plans for the new Student Social Union building, soon to be built, include many charming features ot architectural designing and of planning for the social life of the Occidental campus. Built on the site of the present temporary structures such as the heating plant and the present Com- mons, it will be a California adaptation of the late Italian Renaissance type thus conforming with the general architectural design of the campus. Tiled roofs, an arcade enclosing a patio, approached by a stairway on whose landing and sides are plantings of shrubs and trees, planting within the patio, — all suggest the Med ' iterranean influence. From the patio one enters the main dining room, a spacious hall, with large win- dows at either end preserving the view ot hills and mountains. Here will be com- fortable accommodations for over three hundred dinner guests, with increased possibilities for banquets and special affairs. On one side is a raised platform for the banquet table with facilities to one side for actors. In addition to the main dining hall is a tea room to accommodate small groups and a soda fountain with attractive tables to care for the informal gatherings of students. A kitchen thoroughly equipped for all types of service will complete the dining hall arrange- ments. lr 1 Adjacent to the patio has been planned a spacious women ' s parlor and lounge capable of accommodating those who care to read or those who are bent on other forms of recreation. On the lower floor a men ' s lounge has been arranged where informal groups can gather and games of various kinds be played. Close by is the club room for the faculty men ' s club and a stairway bringing easy access to the patio and dining halls on the upper floor. Student offices have been provided for with separate offices planned for the president of A.S.O.G., the editors of The Occidental , La Encina , Tawney Kat , and an office also for the presidents of A.W.S. and of the Y.W.C. A. These offices are on one side of the patio and readily accessible to all students. An office for the graduate manager and for the general athletic work has been incorporated in the plans. The book store and post office, ticket window and bank, will be amply cared for in a convenient and attractive location with a common entrance on the lower floor and a stairway leading directly to the patio and dining halls above. This building in its entirety is being projected as the social center of the campus. It will probably come to be known as The Union and will undoubtedly be the focus of the residence life of the college. mh f V AM ■H+A 1 53] «= By William Wesdt Courtesy of Stendahl G DEFIANT STILL Art at Occidental ART in Occidental is a significant phrase. Occidental college is fundamentally a liberal arts institution, founded for the purpose of fostering the best and highest and finest in academic achievement, true sportsmanship and athletic prowess, character building, and moral integrity. There is something more than these that goes to build up the ideal life in Occidental, a real appreciation ot the arts — music, the drama, poetry, sculpture, and painting. These are the factors which make the full life. Especially here in Southern California, a veritable artists ' Eutopia, have these men come to live among us and work among us, going and coming as artists will. They are a real people, plain as an old shoe, genuine in their life and true in their friendships. As a rule, those among them who have attained recognition, prom- inence, and high honor are prone to be retiring and modest. Thus it is with most all great men. fc i 54 :• ? By Edgar A. Paine Courtesy of StcmluM Galleries FISHERMEN OF CONCARNCAW Last November we experienced the pleasure of meeting and learning to know and love a group of our nation ' s best painters. Not in person were they here, much as we would like to meet them face to face, but they were here in spirit, tor an artist ' s spirit is immortal in his work. This was made possible by one of the far ' sighted, broad-minded, and public-spirited men who love art too. Earl L. Stendahl of the Stendahl Art Galleries m the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles, graciously loaned the college a selection of canvases by famous California and American artists that we might enjoy our exhibition last fall in the Clapp Memorial Library. Among the prominent painters represented were William Wendt, member of the National Academy; the late Thomas Moran, dean of American landscape artists; Edgar Payne, the late Guy Rose, F. Grayson Sayre, Frank Tenny Johnson, Paul Launtz, Gordon Coutz, and a half score others. Further, Mr. Stendahl lent a group of several canvases for exhibition throughout the remainder of the year, and as a fit- ting climax provided another large exhibit similar in nature to the first but larger and finer. This is an invaluable contribution that Mr. Stendahl is making to im- prove the atmosphere of our campus and to enrich our cultural life. ■H £ DIXON DONALDSON GORCHAKOFF Oxys Tell Kings UNDER the capable leadership of Bob Donaldson, Occidental ' s various varsity athletic teams received plenty of earnest support during the past 1927 sport season. As Head Yell Leader at our institution, Bob displayed plenty of real pepper and fight, and instilled the same in each of his two assistants, Ben Gorchakoff and Audell Dixon. It will be remembered that the U.S.C. and Oxy football fracas at the Coliseum not only witnessed a huge rooting section that cheered its girdiron representatives till the final whistle, but rooting stunts out of the ordinary were carried out and planned by Donaldson to the finest point of success. Similar accomplishments were credited to Donaldson and his two assistants in the annual Hawaii-Occidental grid game in the Coliseum at the close of the year. A yell leader ' s position is what we would term in college a man ' s job , for one ' s work and troubles seldom receive due credit. Bob has worked hard this past year, so hard that by some miracle the officials at school re-elected him to his post for the 1928 seasonal sport calendar. Bob has pep, fight, the ambition to work, and a husky voice., that spell success in leadership of a rooting section. Briefly, Bob has it , and it is the quality needed in this position. Gorchakoff served in his first year as assistant to Donaldson. Ben was ever present at the games, with lots of pep, and eagerness to help put a win over . Dixon was a third capable contortionist and also made his presence known at all games. Both Gorchakoff and Dixon lacked the experience of their head leader, but managed to keep pace with Donaldson fairly well. I 56! Classes 57 NEWELL JACKSON PAINE HAYES Senior Officers OUT into the world of life go those of the class of 1928 after college days in Occidental. Theodore Hayes received the honor of being president of the graduating class and with it the burdens of its responsibilities. In this capacity he fulfilled the duties of his office with befitting care. Florence Jackson served as vice-president of the class for the senior year. Although the duties of vice-president are usually incidental, her task of arranging the social affairs of the class was important and she proved herself efficient. As secretary of the class Joanna Paine kept the records and sent notices of meetings to the class members. Also she arranged the invitations of the Junior-Senior Dinner Dance. These services to the class were of the utmost value to the class. The treasurer of the class, Paul Newell, was assisted in his duties by the student body. All money was collected by the student body and then distributed to the class so saving them the trouble of collection. His work, however, was done in an effective manner.

His was the duty in add ition to the regular class duties of preserving school traditions and spon- soring the incoming students. Martha Miller was elected vice-president of the Junior class. In this office she sponsored the social activities of the class. The juniors entertained the seniors and they were also hosts to the Freshman class. The office of secretary was fulfilled by Carolina Marshall. She recorded the minutes of meetings and kept the class records. All these duties were effected very well. The financial status and collections of the class were made by Elmer Jones, treasurer of the juniors. His ability in this capacity proved so efficient that he was elected president for the coming year.

The sophomores have a great many enterprises to undertake and it calls for an exceptional man to direct the work. Mr. McAllister has shown a great deal of initiative and executive ability and should be congratulated upon the wonderful way in which he has carried his class through the year. Lois Ellenberger, vice-president, who has had to take the responsibilities of the social functions of the class, has proved a most successful social leader. All the activities that she has instigated have been well planned and executed, and due credit should be given her for her exceptional ability. Vera Hotchkiss, as secretary, has been a very quiet worker but a most important one. She has been the very person for her position because a secretary should be one who will keep records exact and in good order and Miss Hotchkiss has fulfilled this perfectly and should be congratulated on the fine execution of her office. The sophomore class could hardly have managed without the able assistance of David Wright as treasurer. This is always a hard position to fill but Mr. Wright was just the person to hold the office and with his cheerful attitude and great ability as a financier he has left a record balance in the class treasury. The sophomore class should be congratulated upon its fine choice of officers, and a vote of thanks and appreciation goes to them for their great service to their class. Lyle McAllister President Lois Ellenberger Vice-President Vera Hotchkiss Secretary David Wright : . . Treasurer 76 1 Sophomore Class THE Sophomore class has held a very important place in the college life of the Occidental campus. The freshman proclamation which was planned by a number of sophomores began the year for the class. The rope rush was t he big event of the early part of the fall term. A greased pig — something new at Occidental - -proved a humorous spectacle to the onlookers. The sophomores came out highly victorious in the rope rush proper, with a score of six to one. When the academic year was well under way, the Sophomore Stunts formed the social interest of the school. As the class ot 1930 had shown that they like some- thing different, they originated the idea of having each class give a short one-act play instead ot a stunt. The plays were : senior, The Pot Boilers; junior, The Trysting Place; sophomore, The Travelers; and freshmen, The Man in the Bowler Hat. These proved to be not only something new but a great success with the Junior class winning first place. There were some interesting booths which were visited between acts. The sophomores — the class which took first prize — had a clever booth which carried out the idea of their play in the form of Ye Olde Tavern. 11 About this same time the campus was surprised when the sophomores came out so early in the year in their new class sweaters. The colors chosen were those handed down to the class by the graduates of ' 26 -royal purple and white. The class took an interest in planning the customary sophomore-senior party which is given every year and it proved to be a great success. Besides the things already mentioned, its members have been prominent in other activities: athletics of all kinds — football, baseball, basketball, track, tennis, and the minor sports; debate, dramatics; and a great deal of credit should be given to those of the class who have made The Occidental a success, and those who have done much to further the work of the various campus organizations. •K 77 LONG WHITE WALLACE MARSH Freshman Qlass Officers OCCIDENTAL opened her doors once again this year to approximately two hundred freshmen. After about two weeks, during which time the neophites were becoming accustomed to their new environment, some of their most dread superiors, the upper classmen, informed them that they were to become an organized group by a certain date in the very near future. At this command the members of the class came together, and, with the help of the president of the Junior class, chose from their number four officers whom they believed would guide them safely through the first semester, since new officers were to be elected for the second semester. There were many candidates who were willing to attempt the struggle which they believed would bring them fame in the future, but, un- fortunately, only four of the enthusiastic group couldsucceed. Russell Long, having proved his ability as a leader in high school, was given another chance to show what he could do, and was made president of the class. Mabel White won out for the office of vic:-president, although there were several others running against her. For secretary Portia Wallace was elected, and Howard Marsh, seeming to be a competent financial manager, became treasurer. Russell Long President Mabel White Vice-President Portia Wallace Secretary Howard Marsh Treasurer 78] -Activities of the Freshman Qlass AS OF old, the famous rope rush event was one of the first opportunities of the year for the Freshmen to show their real spirit. The members turned out two hundred strong, with the female element lending its support from the bleachers. However, the one hundred per cent fight which was witnessed did not seem to be sufficient to defeat the husky Sophomores, since they went off the muddy field of battle carrying all the honors. Though the Freshmen had plenty of ropes, they were not so skillful in tying them as were the Sophomores. However, it was good to the hearts of the onlookers to see the bronze-like figures shaking hands with each other in a friendly manner, after the decision was finally made. As the weeks rolled by, the time for the Pomona game drew near, and on the night before, the Occidental students enjoyed a most spirited rally by the light of one of the biggest and best bonfires which had ever been made by Oxy Freshmen. Though the Frosh had some difficulty m gathering the required amount of twigs, through their combined efforts they made the fire a flaming success. Since the Frosh men had been the leading lights in the previous class undertakings, the girls found a chance to do their bit when the Sophomore Stunts were given. In this event each class was represented in some way, and the Freshmen made themselves prominent by establishing a booth in which they sold home-made candy. The girls of the class spent many long hours in the production of the con- fection which was easily disposed of. A little later on in the year the Junior-Freshman banquet was given in the Com- mons, after which the party enjoyed a dance at Erdman Hall at which the Freshmen were guests of the Juniors. The climax of all these events was capped by a big Freshman party which was held in the beginning of the second semester. The members of the class met at the Commons where they enjoyed quite an uncommon dinner, and then went to Orr Hall where they spent the rest of the evening in playing cards and dancing. 79 THE BUSV HUM OF MEN The segregated interests of the men as differentiated from the general run. Concerning the organiza- tion and functions of the Associated Men Students. fSoj} Many and great are the steps to the fore taken by the men students of Occidental College. New organizations and higher efficien ' cy have brought about a regime of unknown magnitude to the masculine element, the essence of which is portrayed in these pages. T5he -Associated VYCen of Occidental Qollege WHEREAS the Occidental of today is built upon the victories and gains of the men who have gone before, so is the Occidental or tomorrow a monu- ment to the accomplishments of those men who are now working and fighting and living for the future greatness of our college. Noble are the traditions upon which we build; great is the future towards which we strive. This year was inaugurated upon the Occidental campus an organization which bids fair of becoming a unifying and progressive force in the life of the college. This new men ' s organization bears the name ot Associated Men of Occidental College. Uniting under a common bond both Greek and Barbarian, athlete, debater and scholar, this all inclusive men ' s organization gives promise ot bringing together the varied activities of the men in the service of the larger interests of the college. Picked leaders from the high schools must be sought out and brought to Occidental. Stag get-togethers must be staged. Support must be given to all of the varied men ' s activities on the campus. A spirit of unity and loyalty must be further fostered among the men of the college. All these and others are the tasks which may well fall within the scope of this new organization. The Associated Men of Occidental includes on its roster all of the men of the Occidental student body and faculty. The administration of the organization is to be carried on by a council of fifteen members. This council is to be composed of the President of the Student Body, the president of the D.O. Club, the president of the O club, the president of Swan Hall, a representative of the Occidental Staff, one representative from each of the four classes, and five members chosen at large. The Associated Men of Occidental have before them a great future. To this new organization is given the task of proving that the O can be kept greater than any circle which may be drawn within it. Building today, the men of Occidental are laying the foundations for a united men ' s student body, which when we remove to the new campus will place our college in the front rank among the great educational institutions of America. I 82 A.VYC.S. Council INSTEAD of having an organisation headed by a small group of officers, the Associated Men Students thought it best to have a larger council elected by all the men, the members of which will represent every phase of campus activity and personality. The prime motive in this type of directorate was to eliminate political strife from the functionings of the new group, it being felt that the size and limitations on the members of the council would discourage this.

Club is an honorary organization whose membership is limited to the outstanding men of the Senior Class, as well as one of the most prominent figures in the Junior Class. The worthy men are chosen each spring by the graduating members of the club, and the Junior man is selected early in the fall semester by the new body. The purpose of the D. O. Club is to further develop Occidental, and make the college a bigger and better institution, thus the club always takes an active interest in all college activities. The members of this organization are eminent on the campus by the distinctive grey leather jackets which they wear.

VYCens tribunal PERHAPS the first organisation with which the incoming Freshmen men become acquainted — at least the one which leaves the most vivid impression of the first few days at college — is the Men ' s Tribunal. Although the pur- pose of this organisation may appear a bit strained to the newcomers for a time, they soon realise that it functions solely with the intent of acquainting the frosh with the customs and traditions of Occidental, and not with the idea of making the peagreeners appear any more ludicrous than nature has made them. The prin- cipal duty of the Tribunal is to see that the provisions of the proclamation are carried out to the satisfaction of the upper-classmen, and that the general status of the freshmen remains as it should: the humblest of the humble. The Tribunal is composed of the student body president, the presidents of the two upper classes, and two other upper classmen chosen by popular vote. members of the men s tribunal Neal Archer Ted Hayes Kenneth Holland Elmer Jones Stanley Petit •V V [85] v 7?

Its membership is composed of all varsity letter men m both minor and major sports. The club holds regular meetings and plans how it may better serve the Athletic interests of the Orange and Black. Representing as it does all those men who are most vitally interested in the success of Occidental on field and court, the O club has become a vital and instrumental part of the men ' s activities of the college. OFFICERS Ward Schweizer President Walter Coultas Vice-President James Campbell Secretary-Treasurer 90 After the c B lly A Conversation THREE under-grads are talking. One says this : Our college is a place of walks and talks and dreams — a place of sports and books and games of chance- where young hlood flows yet fast and older does not halt its pace. -The fire burns high and while the first said under-grad dispels his wisdom, a second takes the chord and carries on the melody apace. The freshman is a funny fellow, he. Time hath an end, life goals, and sunset a sunrise. What ' s that to him? He cares not yet for time nor goals nor sunsets, but likes the moon and dotes on frolicking with pastimes of the day. Work, he likes not. The gods work not, they are a lazy lot and so would he, but life to him is not so kind. So, work — he must. Thus mused the second under-grad about the Frosh. The third chimed in. We Greeks are glowworms in the night. Rush, mould, mould, rush and jollify a bit between and then pass on. Four years enough to make a man. Life sparkles in the house, smacks sweet, in fact. We are a comely lot, conceited just a bit, but so ' s the world. Pass on. The fire burns low. The first man picks the thread up. The field ' s a place where men fight hard. Football and track give just the grit and tug that makes a man. ' Twas ever thus. Men fight, God knows why. The athlete revels in the stuff that hurts and kills. Great gain, says he. Man number two tunes in. The senior is a queer conglomerate. Grades are noth- ing. ' Rep ' is nothing. Most anything, in fact, is nothing — to his great mind. But then he is a senior. Why should mere things rate high with him. All things change. Even seniors. And finally again chimed in our under-grad sir Three. The Quad ' s the place to view the busy hum of men. The senior ' s there. Not sure he needs the world, but positive the world needs him. The sophomore, too, who has barely cracked the shell. He hums too loud as yet but soon will find his nitch of tone among the Juniors. A happy lot are the three hundred. The gong sounds and quickly two by two and four by four they leave the quad. Was he a Greek or Barb, an athlete or a scholar, pre-med, what not, it mattered not. The college claimed him first, ' twill claim him last. Thus spoke the three. The fire died down. The busy hum of men was silent. The embers still glowed on. . V V- 91 1 UYCen ' s Qhapel By Sophisticated , ' 30 TODAY ' S Wednesday! Let ' s see what ' s going on at Chapel hour? Oh yes, Men ' s Chapel over there m the Library building. If they weren ' t compulsory these assemblies wouldn ' t be so bad because with the women out of the way one doesn ' t need to be late for the important fourth period class. On any day except Wednesday those girls stand around en masse just outside the Chapel door, making a detour necessary for anyone attempting to ascend to the third floor. But one wonders if there is any other reason why Men ' s Chapels were adopted last year. It seems as though these meetings should be of the utmost value to the lowly Freshmen, who are green to the ways of the collegiate, but it appears that these youngsters are more intent on keeping their places filled so as to avoid the fateful cuts, than they are on listening to the inspiring words of the Dean or other renown speakers. Perhaps these frosh would feel more at ease in the front of the room, where the numbers on the seats are of smaller denomination, and consequently would be easier for the younger boys to locate. The Sophomores, like the frosh seem to be at odds with the system of compulsion, but accept the talks with greater seriousness, in order, no doubt, to set a high example for the less experienced frosh, for the lower class must realize — after a few days — that these sophs represent the highest type of college manhood, and must be respected. The Juniors appear to be on a plane of their own, for they have too much dignity to bother with the lower classes, and if they come to Chapel at all it is only because they have been unsatisfactory in presenting an original alibi, which should have been accomplished after two year ' s thought. But when they do grace the hall with their presence, they do not need to pay attention, for they have heard it all before. The Seniors — Ah — this class turns out in full force to occupy the first tew rows, for they must retain the good will of the administration (Sheepskins fall due in June). In Chapel one can easily recognize a Senior, not only because he sits at the head of the class, but because he always remains erect, gazing at the speaker with an assumed air of attention, and he might even take the liberty to nod an occasional approval to the addresser. However, raving on like this has given me no satisfac tory answer to the purpose of Men ' s Chapels, so what ' s the use ! 92 1 era . ;■: . - Skv Occasional boisterous sounds jlow forth rorn Su u Hall to brea the somber monotony of the night when only crickets ' chirps from the nearby hills disturb the nocturne quietude which enfolds the Quadrangle.

Their activities are multi- fold and highly diversified, as is here shown. 9 6 By Way of Introduction Jo Lore diversified and inclusive become the women ' s activities at Occidental which are clear ' ly set apart from that general run wherein both men and women participate. This trend of higher organisation and more minute segre ' gation of feminine interests is characteristic in a small way of the world movement for the emanci- pation and elevation of women to a plane equal to that of the masculine level. It is hoped that this section of La Encina may portray vividly and truth- fully those activities on the Occidental campus which are peculiar to women; and that in so doing the women may be given a small share of the praise which is due them for the progress which they have made in the last few years. Associated Women Students MARY LOUISE JORDAN President A.W. S. THE organization of the Associated Women Students ot Occidental includes all the women attending college, and strives to aid each of them to get the most happiness and benefit from her college life through activity and social intercourse with all the other women of the Occidental family. The officers of the A.W.S. from September, 1927, to February, 1928, were: Mary Louise Jordan, Presi- dent; Mary Lorraine Crawford, Vice-President; Frances Moore, Secretary; Mary MacPhie, Trea- surer; and Frances McCoy, President of the Women ' s Athletic Association. This was a most efficient executive, and each woman performed her duties in the best possible manner. In February, 1928, Frances Moore was elected as the new Presi- dent, with a very fine executive committee to aid her through the term. Many activities have occupied the women through- out the year, beginning with Freshman Week, during which time the freshman women were helped in every way to feel at home and become acquainted with one another and the college, as well as the executive and the leaders of the Sponsor groups. These Sponsor groups worked with the Women ' s Tribunal to accustom the new women to their surroundings, to aid them in any difficulties which might arise, and to help them gam a fuller understanding of the ideals and traditions of Occidental women. Owing to the splendid cooperation given to the executive committee by every woman in Occidental, the affairs of the entire year have been ably and smoothly executed and eminently successful. Such traditional affairs as the Dove Reception, the Procession of Lanterns, the A.W.S. Supper, and the Co-ed Hop were given with great success under the super- vision of the executive committee, most ably headed by the President of the Associated Women Students, Mary Louise Jordan. The position of President of the Associated Women Students of Occidental is one entailing no small amount of responsibility and executive ability. This year Mary Louise Jordan filled most competently this difficult post, and with the aid of the executive committee guided the affairs of the women of the college. Intensely loyal and vitally interested in the affairs of Occidental, Miss Jordan made one of the best of A.W.S. presidents. Her willing cooperation was given wherever it was needed, and her whole time and effort were spent in furthering the interests and advantages of the Occidental women. I 98! CRAWFORD MOORE MACPHIE McCOY Ji. W. S. Executive (Committee MARY LORRAINE CRAWFORD, as Vice-President, filled very capably this responsible position, which entails so much hard work and efficient planning. Her excellent cooperation and judgment enabled her to carry out the very important duties which her office imposed upon her. She was also in a large part responsible for the success of the many social functions during her administration. As Secretary of the A.W.S., Frances Moore performed most efficiently the duties demanded of her by her position. Her responsibility and ability have been greatly appreciated, as proven by the fact that in February she was elected to the presi ' dency of the Associated Women Students for the new term. Mary MacPhie, as Treasurer of the women ' s organization, showed that in electing her to this position, their trust in her was not misplaced. She kept the books and accounts most efficiently, and her cooperation with the rest of the executive was marked. As President of the Women ' s Athletic Association, Frances McCoy was also a member of the executive committee of the A.W.S. The great success of the W.A. A. hikes was due in a large measure to her fine executive ability and her friendly character. •K I 99 J At 0 ANKENY KING 41 CRAWFORD FOREMAN JACKSON JORDAN MAHONEY MCCOY MACLAUGHLIN TAYLOR (Dranzen Senior Women ' s Honorary Society established iq26 officers Anne Mahoney President Roberta Taylor Secretary-Treasurer MEMBERS Lucille Ankeny Mildred Foreman Lorraine Crawford Florence Jackson Miss Ethel Taylor Faculty Advisor Mary Louise Jordan Frances McCoy Marjorie King Florence MacLaughlin Dean Irene T. Myers Member e.x-ojjicio IOO V omens Tribunal THE Women ' s Tribunal is an organisation of the Associated Women Students which is composed of five upper class students whose duty it is to enforce the rules and regulations of the proclamation issued at the beginning of the fall semester. Freshman women first learn that in order to become responsible and worthy Occidental students they must practice discipline in self-control and obedience to others. The members of the Tribunal are chosen from a large number of students who have learned to cherish and revere the traditions of Occidental College, so it is easily seen why any willful violation of the Proclamation receives firm punishment from this body. members of women s tribunal Helen Keedy Martha Miller Florence Jackson Josephine Peairs Mary Louise Jordan •W - uA Y Z IOI Sponsor Group System ONE great aim of Occidental College is to make each incoming treshman class a vital and progressive part of the institution as soon as possible. With this purpose in mind, an organized group system, consisting of a chairman and seven members called sponsors, has been established for the freshman women. These sponsors are chosen each year from the women of the senior class for their leadership, and their ability to uphold the traditions of Occidental. This organiza- tion meets each week to decide on topics to be presented to the freshman groups, which are composed of ten or twelve freshmen, alphabetically segregated, who meet each week for a time, then every two weeks, for a conference with their individual sponsors. This group system presents constructive advice to the new students, and is helpful in giving them a bit of the Occidental spirit and in presenting the importance of combining a balance of scholarship and activity, of friendliness and reserve, and of loyalty and honor. The sponsor groups thus aid, by informal discussion, and by questions and advice, in clearing up all difficulties in the minds of these new students, and so prepare them for their future responsibilities as the women of Occidental.

Its purpose was to aid the women of the freshman class in getting acquainted with one another and in giving greater and better cooperation to the various ac- tivities of the Associated Women Students. It is under the guidance of the A.W.S. executive committee, and has fulfilled its aims very well. The greatest part of the burden of the May Day celebration is assigned to the women of the freshman class, and under the direction of the officers of the Organi ' zation, this annual event is very beautifully carried out. The Organization supports whole-heartedly any project which may arise in the activities of either the A.W.S. or the student body as a whole. It has served to unite in a closer and firmer bond of friendship the women of the freshman class, and this unity of spirit makes itself felt throughout the remainder of the college life of the women who have been a part of it. The spirit of the Freshman Women ' s Organization is undoubtedly felt throughout the entire college, and its loyalty and cooperation are a great help in all A.W.S. and student activities. OFFICERS Virginia Dennen President Lois Osborne Secretary •K V 10 3 1 Women ' s Forensics THE year of 1928 has been a most successful season for woman ' s forensics particularly in the field of debating. The question, Resolved that the influ- ence of modern advertising is detrimental to the public welfare was chosen as the question to be debated in all the colleges in the Southern California con- ference. It proved to be a question of interest to the students and debates were consequently well attended. Occidental ' s women debaters, under the direction of their new debate coach, Mr. Glenn Lembke, won three out of their four debates. U.C.L.A. by winning four debates won the Southern California championship by the decision of the judges of one debate. This placed Occidental in the second position. A unique method of judging the debates was adopted for the past season. The team acting as hostess for the debate elected two of their professors as judges, the visiting team, in addition brought a professor from their own college. On the whole the new system proved to be the most successful of any undertaken by the league. In the first debate of the season the Oxy women debaters upheld the negative against a strong affirmative team at La Verne. The decision was two to one in favor of Occidental. The negative team met U.C.L.A. at Occidental. The Bruins defeated the Tigers three to nothing, this being the only debate lost by the latter team. At Pomona, Occidental won a two to one decision from the Sagehen team. This year a new method of coaching debates was inaugurated by the Speech Education department. A court was formed in which the students who had an interest in forensics might enroll. The teams were selected from this group. With such a successful season completed Occidental has every opportunity of having an unusually strong forensics season next year. Forensic activities are becoming more and more popular each year among the women students of American colleges and universities. These women who are taking advantage of the opportunities which participation in such activities offers are reaping the benefits which countless others are disregarding because of lack of interest, and because of the failure to recognize the values which are to come in later years as a result of this early forensic training. The criticism is often heard in these days that the women being graduated from our modern institutions of higher learning lack the poise, grace, and individuality which characterized the sweet girl graduate of a decade ago. No other medium for the acquisition of these traits presents itself as does an active participation in college forensics; for what better way might there be for a woman to acquire poise than to stand before an assembled group of critics and set forth point after point in the defense or refuta- tion of some question on which she may be debating. [ 104] FULLER RAA13 BOULGER The Debaters Leora Fuller, the manager of Occidental women ' s forensics, is one of the return- ing debaters. During her three years in college she has represented the school in five debates. This season Miss Fuller was on the non-defeated affirmative team which met Whittier and Pomona. She will return next year. Catherine Clove is another of Occidental ' s experienced debaters to return next year. She has represented the college in four debates. Miss Clove also belonged to the undefeated affirmative team. Frances Raab entered her second season in debating for Occidental this year. So far she represented this institution in three debates. Mis s Raab very capably argued the negative case of the conference question this year against La Verne and U.C.L.A. Next year she will return to join the squad. Pauline Boulger had her debut in debating this year when she presented the negative argument of the adopted conference question against La Verne and U.C.L.A. Miss Boulger proved herself to be a very capable and clever debater and Occidental is very fortunate in having her return next year. •KIT -hJL v f io 5 1 Laurean Literary Society 1A.CREAN SOCIETY is formed of outstanding upperclass women interested . in appreciating and understanding the standard literatures of the world. The group enjoys a general discussion after the papers, reports, or lectures. Orig- inal literary work is encouraged, and the talent exhibited is highly commendable. The meetings and study throughout this year have been on the literature, music, and philosophy of the German peoples.

FOREMAN MORROW MACPHIE JACKSON PEAIRS MOORE T. W. Q. A. THE Y.W.C.A. has had a very successful year under the leadership of Mildred Foreman. Believing that religion may be as wide as life itself, Y.W. has tried to make the monthly meetings inclusive rather than selective. High serious- ness, laughter, devotion, art and the joy of living have in turn been emphasized. Some of the outstanding meetings have been those conducted by the several classes. The Freshman meeting displayed not only new talent, but a sincerity that denotes purpose. The Sophomore program, novel m its plan and performance, centered about hobbies. Devotional aspects of life was the more definite theme of the Juniors, while the Senior program, a tradition of some long standing, was as beautiful and significant as in any previous years. The Social Service work, consisting of Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets for the needy, and entertainment for the County Hospital, have been especially successful, due to the efforts of its director, and the splendid cooperation of the resident houses. The Conference phase has included a meeting of the Conference division, itself, at Occidental, and representations at both the National Convention in Sacramento, and the usual Y.W. Asilomar Summer Conference. Finance has been an uphill climb, but the organization has been well worth the effort. I 108 T. W. C. A.

This was an affair which combined entertainment with greetings and an explana- tion of the W.A.A. rules and ideals. The sport managers were introduced and they discussed their sports. Hikes of all kinds were sponsored by W.A.A. The first ones being very short and the last more difficult. Switzers was visited first with a great deal of enthusiasm. Following this there were many novelty hikes. A gypsy hike ending on the top of Eagle Rock was one of the most enjoyable of these. The moonlight ones were the most successful and the most enjoyed of any given. Winter and spring house parties compose no small part of the activities of W.A.A. Would-be athletes had a wonderful time at the winter house party. The snow at Camp Baldy was just right for sliding. The spring party at the beach gave swim- mers a chance to participate in many aquatic stunts. Occidental held the fourth annual play-day on the home campus in April. Red- lands, Whittier, University of California at Los Angeles, and University of Southern California were invited to bring twenty members each from their athletic associations for their afternoon and evening of fun. Every one responded with enthusiasm, making the day worth while. Play started about two o ' clock and consisted of many games, races and stunts. After these the whole group adjourned to an outdoor picnic supper and campfire. W. A. A. Officers for 1927 Frances McCoy President Dorothy Foree Vice-President Mabel Spencer Secretary-Treasurer S WJ in Women ' s Sports WOMEN ' S sports are sponsored by the athletic department and the Women ' s Athletic Association. Occidental offers a variety from which to choose — swimming, speedball, tennis in the fall; basketball in the winter; baseball in the spring; and hiking and dancing all through the year. The depart- ment serves the woman training for a physical education vocation, and for the woman who wants to live. A system of awards is sponsored by W.A.A. which stimulates ambitious interest. Letters, sweaters, a good time and good training are the compensations— But the girl — she is alive, alert. She is keen to perceive and fully able to feel and appreciate. She can work, she serves. She is genuine, she is thorough. She is acquainted with disappointment; she is intimate with joy. She lives. You like her. She is a comrade. Speedball is a combination of basketball and soccer. The ball used is kicked but if caught in the air, is played as a basketball, passes being carefully worked out. It is one of the most wholesome sports, because it exercises so many muscles in running, throwing, and kicking. Practice goes on daily on the green field west of the library. The inter-class games this year consisted of frosh and upperclass competition, the Sophomores defaulted. The frosh team was victorious. The members of the team receiving letters were: Lucy Buell Gladys Hoffman Henrietta Hueson Marian Ibelings Betty Keeney Evelyn Maxson Mildred Pomeroy Louise Price Betty Stewart Ruth Taylor Leona Williams Tennis will put emphasis on an Inter-class Tournament this year, which is being arranged by the Manager, Margaret Eckeman. The W.A.A. Play Day will sponsor a match between a Pomona team and Carolina Marshall and Mary Barbara Taylor. These players will also take part in the Ojai Tournament this year. Occidental has won many honors there. This will be the third year for Miss Taylor who has won many matches and holds several titles. Miss Marshall has also been at Ojai before and has always made a creditable showing. We have just cause to be proud of our women tennis players. Swimming, a sport sponsored by the physical education department for which credit is given, culminated in a meet. The competitors numbered more than twenty girls. The meet was held in the Pasadena Y.W.C.A. where the classes are held. Three events were open — one for beginners, one for intermediates, and one for advanced swimmers. The events for each group were similar including relays, diving, dead-man float 1 ' , and dashes of various strokes, crawl, breast, and side. The competition was keen between the classes and individuals. The star and 112 THE DELTA SORORITY BASKETBALL TEAM 1928 Champwns high man was a frosh, Evelyn Maxson. Others making their letters were Anita Simonson, Alice Kirkpatrick, and Alice Alexander. The last sport of the year is baseball. Many of the physical education department chose it as their sport which is indicative of the popularity of the game. Inter ' dass games are arranged for the first of the season. Also at the end of the season challenge games between the sororities arouse considerable interest. Rhythmic dancing, under the direction of Miss Greenly is one of the less strenuous sports that Occidental offers. These dancers are very active in student affairs taking part in programs such as May Day and the Procession of Lanterns. Track for women at Occidental is not an authorized sport. In our household, however, we have Alyss Ryden, a winner at the Olympic games. Sprinting and javelin throw are her specialties. Miss Ryden may represent the Pasadena Athletic Club at the Games in Amsterdam this year. We hope that she may attract others to this sport. HaA K 3l FLORENCE MacLAUGHLIN Occidental ' s iy S May Queen May Day ONE of the most important days of the year for the women of Occidental is May Day. The girls in the senior classes of neighboring High Schools are invited to visit classes and attend the May Day exercises. They are shown the campus and the sorority houses, then proceed to the Orr Hall gardens for refreshments and the May festival. The May Queen is elected from the senior class as the woman who has been most outstanding in her class, who has done the most for her college, and who is best endowed with those qualities which befit a queen and a true daughter of Occi- dental. After the May program, the visitors are invited to a reception in the gardens of the home of President Bird as the guests of Mrs. Bird. This traditional festival is perhaps the most looked-for event of the year. Each Occidental woman does her best to make it a success and to make every one of the guests feel welcome and at home. Florence MacLaughlin was elected by the women of Occidental as queen of the May. The queen is crowned and presides at the May festival in the President ' s gardens each year. In choosing the May queen, the girl is selected who has done more for Occidental than any other senior woman, also her popularity is another criteria of choice. 114 T5he Women ' s Dormitories THE two dormitories for women on the Occidental campus are Bertha Harton Orr Hall and Grace Carter Erdman Hall. Orr Hall has completed its third year in the life of Occidental, and has made a very definite place for itself on the campus. Miss Cutler, who has been Head Resident for two years, is well ' loved by the girls, and her efforts to make the Hall a real home are very successful and deeply appreciated by all the women who have lived there under her super- vision. While Erdman Hall is closing its first year, it also is a very definite factor in campus life. The women in residence are for the most part sophomores and juniors. Mrs. Darling, the Head Resident, has made the new Hall a fine home for the girls in residence there, and has also made for herself many true friends on the campus out side the Hall. House meeting is held each Wednesday night in the Halls, and in these meetings the girls gather together as an unit and discuss plans and transact necessary business. Each has its own organization. Many successful affairs have been given this year in the two women ' s dormitories, including Open House and several dances. These two Halls have added greatly to the beauty of the campus, and have become an integral and indispensable part of the resident social life of Occidental. •A P us BRAGDON BROWN EVANS FOREMAN HOSFORD KELLY MEYER MILLER NOHR.NBERG PARKISON SHOEMAKER MMONSON DILLER ELLENBERGER HALL HANES HILKEVITCH KERNS KLEIN McLACHLlNE MONTGOMERY MOORMAN MUTl Hl B PIBEL ROBINSON RYDEN STADLINGER TURNER WHITE Ill6j MAHONEY FLEISHER GASTON BENTON Erdman Hall OFFICERS Anne Mahoney President Kate Benton Vice ' President Jewel Gaston Secretary Helen Fleisher Treasurer Eleanor Bragdon Fleda Brigham Bertha Brown Marion Carr Helen Diller Lois Ellenberger Alice Evans Elizabeth Fisher Ruth Foreman Ruth Funk May Goble Ruth Hale Charlotte Hall Florence Hanes Marie Hilkevitch Ena Hoag Roma Holley Mary Hosford Blanche Hughes •w residents Edna Hughes Ada Hutzell Ruth Kelley Marguerite Kerns Elsa Klein Frances Knudson Bess Lawrence Catherine Liggett Bernice Ludlow Mildred Ludlow Jean McLachline Kathryn Marshall Marian Masten Florine Meyer Mary Miller Helen Montgomery Virginia Moorman Marie Mutchler Agnes Nohrnberg V V. 1 102ft Mildred Parkinson Vera Perkins Marjorie Pibel Helen Price Orletha Remender Ruth Reynolds Mary Robinson Alyss Ryden Winifred Seely Florence Shelley Nona Shoemaker Anita Simonson Alta Spencer Louise Stadlinger Ella Florence Stanton Anona Stinnet Marcelia Turner Ruth Jane White Eunice Wyman 7vx I n7l ALEXANDER BOND BROWN BUELL CLARK COCKRAN COLLINS COLTON CORL HACKETT HALSEY HOFFMAN KEENEY KRUG MAXFIELD MIEDEMA MIXSELL MOORE NASH NEWMAN OTTO PARKER PRICE RICE RODDIE STEVENS STEWART STRAIN TAYLOR VANCE WALLACE WARD WHITE WILLIAMS [118] LLOYD DENNEN CARLSON Orr Hall OFFICERS Charlotte Lloyd President Shellia Dunlap Vice-President Virginia Dennen Secretary Muriel Carlson Treasurer Alice Alexander Mabel Bond Princess Booth Irene Brown Lucy Buell Billie Burke Augusta Butler Frances Clark ione cockran Charleen Collins Harriet Colton Gladys Corl Mary Crawford Emogene Daily Margaret Glasson Hazel Grey Mildred Foreman Margaret Hackett residents Katherine Halsey Beatrice Hamilton Gladys Hoffman Elizabeth Holland Henrietta Houston Celia Insley Betty Keeney Lorayn King Harriet Lindstrom Miriam Maxfield Evelyn Maxson Madeline Miedema Edith Mixsell Emily Moore Helen Nash Harriet Newman Helen Newman Ethel Otto Loula Parker Lucie Pinney Mildred Pomeroy Mildred Presnell Louise Price Dorothy Reed Carolyn Reid Virginia Rice Mary Roddie Maurine Stevens Elizabeth Stewart Eva Strain Ruth Taylor Louise Vance Portia Wallace Annie Irene Ward Mabel White Leona Williams I ii9 I IN THE REALM OF SPORTS A review of the athletic year, with the facts and figures appurtenant thereto. Occidental ' s battles of field and fancy preserved to posterity. 120 1 t) Occidental ' s -Athletic Policy OCCIDENTAL College believes in inter-colle- giate athletics. It believes that every man needs physical exercise and that exercise is more beneficial when accompanied by the thrill of competition. Intramural competition is fine and its value is recognized but at the present time there is no question but what it must yield in importance to inter-collegiate competition. The latter awakens the interest of the alumni in the college, it provides a spectacle which is interesting to both participants and spectators, and of most importance, it furnishes the opportunity for a demonstration of the fact that in either defeat or victory Occidental students and alumni can be gentlemen and ladies. The exploits re- counted in this section will show the reader that the Occidental family can well be proud of the present generation of Tiger Cubs. Osgood Hardy Chairman, Faculty Committee on Athletics •K raia fncSnajs HaA 121 122 J •w Edgar H. Kienholz THEY call him Fighting Eddie Kienholz, and his teams are FIGHTING teams. In his college career at Washington he made sixteen letters in major sports which is a record which has never been equalled. After that he coached at Long Beach, where, besides developing such stars as Morley Drury he won six championships in the seven years he was there. He was then at Santa Clara for a few years and in 1926 he came to Occidental. Last year ' s Wonder Frosh Team was an example of his handiwork. Eddie seems to have a positive genius for putting the spirit in a team. His appointment to the position of head football coach for the 1928 season has been received with enthus- iasm in all quarters. Everybody will tell you that Eddie is a great fellow 1 ' ' and every Occidental student believes that there is nobody quite like him. They have perfect confidence in Eddie ' s ability to put out a championship team if it is humanly possible to do it. A man who is capable of inspiring the men with whom he comes in contact to the heights reached by the basketball team this year, as an example, can not but be a great influence for good in any institution with which he is connected and Occidental can consider herself lucky in her associations with Eddie ' Kienholz. -H A Y kff 123 1 1V 1V M EDDIE KEINHOL2 BILL ANDERSON CHIEF EXENDINE C 1 4 ]} Oxys Grid VYtentors Chief Exendine, the gentleman of football, gave his best for Occidental. That fact was every where recognised and so, even in defeat, he held the admiration and respect of the student body. For Oxy, it was a season in which the breaks all seemed against her; for Exendine, it proved a season of bitter disappointments. After the season had closed, the Chief ' s contract having expired, a new athletic policy was instituted. The coaching of the Varsity football was placed squarely on the shoulders of the man who heads the Physical Education Department of the college. Automatically, Eddie Keinholz assumes the duties this coming season. With the passing of Coach Exendine, Oxy loses a most capable coach, one who gained high rank among the gridiron leaders of the country. He stood for clean playing, hard fighting and true sportsmanship. He brought to Occidental some- thing in ideals that will animate her teams long after Chief Exendine has gone. Bill Anderson, the man who either makes you or breaks you in athletics, is the Tigers ' prise trainer. Many times, but for his skillful knowledge and treatment of injuries, Oxy athletes would be out of competition for the season. This would be particularly disastrous in a college like Oxy, where the student body from which the athletic material is drawn, is small. Through his own experience, remarkably broad as one may judge from the fact that he won his letters at Illinois for football, basketball and baseball, he knows just what his charges need and when and where they need it. Major and minor sports alike come under this trainer ' s able care. Bill is a specialist and he knows that the athletes have the utmost confidence of his ability to keep them right . He is always just one of the fellows, and they do as he tells ' em — and how! Coach Eddie Keinholz, head of the Physical Education Department, and next season ' s football coach, has given to Occidental the enthusiasm, fight and confidence for which his teams are so famous. Keinholz;, an intensive student, as his M. A. in physical education testifies, is a man with ample coaching experience, and as head of Oxy ' s physical educators, he leads the finest group of its kind in the south. With equal facility he turns out football and basketball teams, thoroughly grounded in the fundamentals of both games— fighting spirit and good sportsmanship. Perhaps the greatest tribute one can pay the indomitable Keinholz is to declare the fact that never has an Occidental student body been critical when a team of Keinholz ' s coaching loses, for the very good reason that he never turned out a team that failed to give everything it had and even in defeat it reflected the courage, fairness and fight of the coach himself. Xs r «5] J [ow you ' re not playing the brea s! Qoach Wilfye Qlar HOW is this for a record? In 1924. Occidental succeeded in securing the services of Wilkie Clark, famous league player, to coach her baseball teams. The Varsity nines of 1925, 1926 and 1927 won the Conference champion- ships and held, undisputed, the Coast championship tor those years by defeating teams from Stanford, California and Arizona. Oxy ' s baseball teams have indeed been a credit to the institution ! Coach Clark graduated from the University ot Maine, with excellent scholarship rating. After playing professional for several years, he coached successively at Oregon, Maine, Tennessee, Minnesota, Colby and Occidental. Wilkie is noted for the influence he has upon his men and he prides himself quite as much on the building of men as of successful teams. This year he began handicapped by the loss of twelve lettermen. It looked like little Miss Fortune had dated up for the baseball season with Oxy. But the showing of a green team to date has again proved conclusively that Clark can turn out good ball teams under the most discouraging conditions. If a coach may be judged by the results he has attained, Wilkie Clark rates as one of the finest college coaches of today. Oxy can regret only one thing, and that is, that the student body has not come into close enough con- tact with this coach of rare ability. I 126 J ' Ye Gods man, get your hjiees up! Qoach Joe Pipal ( ■ TO ALL Occidental students and to a large number of Alumni, Joe Pipal and Oxy are almost synonomous. Pipal may be an institution all by himself but he is very much a part of Occidental college. He is known, respected and loved by everyone with whom he comes in contact. His work with his men never ends the year round. Always he is encouraging them, advising, building them up and directing their efforts, striving always to turn out athletes and men who will reflect credit in every way upon Occidental. In doing this he has turned out track teams that have been nationally famous. He has developed many real track stars, yet he has turned out many more, recognised among their fellows for high ideals, devotion to duty and worth-while character. Pipal is recognized not only as a leading authority on matters of track and field athletics but also in football and basketball. His book, The Lateral Pass , at- tracted nation-wide attention in football circles and his summer courses are attended by some of the most famous coaches in the country. This season Pipal has moulded from green material, a team that gives promise of bringing back the championship again to Occidental. Coach Pipal is ever ready to help anyone who will honestly try. Consequently, it has been his fortune many times to discover potential ability and develop it, where a coach less patient and conscientious, would have overlooked a find ' ' or permitted discouragement to ruin a prospect . He is an essential link in Occidental ' s chain of physical educators. •v V ■h £ Y Stf 1 127 V earers of the O ' ' FOOTBALL Brobst, Captain Ellsworth Nash Beebe Fusco Rozelle Charnock Hibbits J.

No one who saw Brobst at his best can doubt the fact that Rats was a great quarterback and a great captain. Qaptaiwtlect Eberhardt JOHNNY EBERHARDT was the hardest hitting back m the con- ference this year and there is every indication that he will be hitting them harder and laying them lower next year. With Eberhardt as captain and Kienhok as coach the Occidental football team next year should be a championship squad. 130 ' WW ? 1 - Varsity Football WITH nine lettermen from the 1926 team back this year and a wealth of good material from the championship freshman team coming up, the pros- pects at the beginning of the season pointed more or less in the direction of a championship for the Tigers. In pre-season games the team displayed all the expected class, being strong in every department. An unusually hard schedule was adopted and it was probably on account of this stiff schedule that the team did not show up so well during the latter part of the season. The first big upset of the season was the Bruin game, a game which the Tigers should have won. Injuries from pre-season games may have been in part responsible for the loss, but the Tigers seemed to lack that vital something which distinguishes a winning team from a losing team. After this upset the Bengals never seemed to really find them- selves as the loss to Whittier proved. Exendine ' s plan of shifting backfields seemed to have lost its early season effectiveness, and the Whittier game put an end to all championship hopes. In the Pomona game the team made a valiant but futile attempt to come back and a few days later, demoralised and tired, they made a poor showing against the strong Hawaii team. The appointment of Eddie Kienholz to the position of head football coach has been greeted with enthusiasm. The men have confidence in him. They know that if it is possible to produce a winning team, Eddie can do it. Although eight lettermen graduate, their places will be filled by sophomores and juniors, and the coming season looks full of possibilities for a winning team. i V 131 ' - ■■• m NASH COULTAS DEHOAG W. SCHWEIIER SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA THE first gridiron tangle of the year found Occidental meeting the famous Trojans, one of the best teams in the country. The game was played at the Coliseum on September 24, and was witnessed by 35,000 fans. Coach Exendine ' s men put up the fight oi their lives, but could not withstand the on- slaught of the Thundering Herd and they emerged at the short end of a 33-0 score. Displaying a flashy offense with lots of power, only costly fumbles kept the Bengals from breaking into the scoring column. The fast, heavy Tiger line played a stub- born defensive game which nipped a good many Trojan plays in the bud. Ed. Beebe, blond sophomore tackle, was the sensation of the game and Al Klien, playing his first game at center also looked good. The Tiger punters far out-dis- tanced their Trojan rivals and Rozelle hit the line like the well known ton of bricks. All things considered, Occidental made a very good showing, but the game spelt disaster, for four first string men were injured. f ija J CLAYES N. SMITH MANUEL ARIZONA THE Tigers trekked to Tucson for their second game, to play the Arizona Wildcats. Although entering the game with a crippled team, Occidental completely outplayed the natives, a lucky passing attack being responsible for the tie score. Both of the Tiger touchdowns were scored on the powerful line bucking of Johnny Eberhardt and the goals converted by Ward Schweiser. The two Wildcat scores were made on forward passes. The Arizona boys completed four- teen passes, one of which was good for 45 yards. Straight football was the Bengals best bet. Comparative statistics gave the Tigers a decided edge, Occidental making 17 first downs to 8 for Arizona. As usual the Tiger punting was in a class by itself. Wendall Smith played his first game for Occidental and won a regular berth at end. Captain Brobst, Fusco and Howe played splendid football, making huge gains through the Wildcat line. •K , 133 ■H ■ HOWE WORK HUNT J. SCHWEI2ER U.C.L. A. THE fourth game of the season was a heart-breaking loss to the Bruins in the Coliseum. The Tigers started the game with an attack that cut the U.C.L. A. line to ribbons. On straight football the Bengals carried the ball to within easy scoring distance and then lost the ball on a fumble. A few minutes later the Tigers recovered the ball and made a desperate effort for a touchdown, only to fall six inches short. In the second quarter a bad pass from center resulted in a safety for the Bruins, but things looked pretty even up to the half. In the third quarter the Bruins got close enough to score when Occidental was heavily penalized and they made the most of the opportunity although they failed to convert. The game was marred throughout by fumbles, the Bruins making more than the Bengals but none which were as serious. Glenn Rozelle, Mike Hunt, and Johnny Eberhardt gained most of the yardage for Oxy, while in the line Milt Nash, Beebe, De Hoag and Coultas were outstanding. The half-pint Bruin half-back, La Boucherie, was re- sponsible for most of the grief the Tigers suffered. I r ' ■ ■ r x ■ . ■ ? ' ' • ' ' MjM: ' : ' 1 134 WILLIAMSON BEEBE FUSCO KLEIN CALTECH THE bright spot of the season was the decisive victory over the boys from California Tech. The fact that the Tigers had lost to the engineers two years in succession, did not detract from the satisfaction derived from the victory. From the first it was evident that the Bengals had a decided edge, and the fact that the score was not larger is a tribute to the fight of the Tech team. The game was a thriller in many respects Jack Schweiser ' s forty yard run through an open field for a touchdown, being the high spot. The Tigers made much of their yardage on passes and looked pretty strong in this department. Jack Schweizer scored twice and the other touchdowns were accounted for by John Eberhardt and Mike Howe. All conversions were from the educated toe of Mike Hunt. The Caltech score was made by Captain Elmer Muff who was the outstanding player on the Tech team. The only serpentine of the year was held after the game. •K V v yJK V Enema 1028 -H i 135 1 i I - J ' iff HITCH ROZELLE CUTHBERT ■JCSS ' SMITH SANTA BARBARA SANTA BARBARA STATE COLLEGE, coached by Dud De Groot, former All-American Stanford center, was the next Bengal victim. A second string line up was played most of the way, but before the final whistle the Tigers had rolled up six touchdowns and converted four of them. REDLANDS THE Bulldogs came to Patterson field on November 5 and were administered a sound beating. The Redlands team, with tour Smiths as regulars, showed plenty of fight but very little else. The Tiger second string played most of the game, the regulars getting in for only twelve minutes. That twelve minutes how- ever, was enough time for George Fusco to ring up three touchdowns. John Eberhardt made almost 150 yards from scrimmage and Jack Schweiser ' s punting was notable. Fox seemed to be the only Bulldog able to make any real gains. e 136] ELLSWORTH CHARNOCK WHITTIER ON NOVEMBER 12, Occidental was turned on by the conference worm, and lost a hard game to the lads from ' ye friendly towne .The showings made by the Poets in earlier games were misleading as injuries had kept the whole Whittier first string in a more or less unsettled state. In this game, however, Whittier had their team intact and their strength was under-rated by Occidental. Whittier put up a wonderful game and they deserved to win. Occidental was leading at the half by virtue of a place kick which was made by Mike Hunt. In the third quarter a brilliant run by Speed Walker gave the Poets a touchdown and the Victory. Throughout the game, the superb punting of Captain Oakley Pendleton kept the Tigers on the defensive. The big Poet line repeatedly ruined Tiger plays by its deadly tackling. For Occidental, Johnny Eberhardt and Ed Beebe were the whole show. By his exceptional work in the line, Beebe cinched his place on the All-Conference eleven. Occidental suffered from lack of co- ordination in the backfield and over-confidence. Ji % v i37 i B S }A ' ] 4 5Jk s -- V i ' V-iw THE TIGERS AT WORK AGAINST POMONA POMONA FOR THE first time m years Pomona beat Occidental on their own field. The loss was a bitter one for the Tigers; the only redeeming feature was the indomitable spirit of the Occidental team. The Bengals played a fighting game from start to finish. The Tigers were fully as good as the Sagehens on straight football, but the Pomona passing attack was well nigh invincible. Time after time, the Oxy line threw Pomona plays for losses, only to see the Sagehens make their yards on the deadly passing of Hartmann and Merrit. Throughout the game only two Pomona passes were incomplete. A pass was also responsible for the Occi ' dental score, a double pass Fusco to Hunt to Manuell. Hunt converted for the extra point. Jack Schweizer punted the Bengals out of danger repeatedly, two of his kicks carrying over 65 yards. Occidental played a defensive game most of the time so most of the dirty work came to the line where, as usual, Ed Beebe stood out like the rock of Gibraltar. No one man, however, deserves any lion ' s share of the credit, for every one played a stellar game. fPSgSm „. ._ 1 aMM ■ttlHH ■ 1 138 j BREAKING THROUGH HAWAII S LINE HAWAII ON THANKSGIVING day, only five days after the Pomona struggle, Occidental met Hawaii in the Coliseum. The game, witnessed by a crowd of 65,000, saw the Tigers downed by a 20 to o count. The team went into the game tired and demoralized, the game being an anti-climax to a hard season. The island squad was fast and heavy and clearly outclassed Occidental. Red 11 Holt, Hawaii halfback, played an All- American game, kicking, passing and line bucking in a manner which left no doubt in anyone ' s mind but what Mr. Holt was a football player of exceptional ability. For the first time during the year, Jack Schweizer met a back that could out-punt him. The two Mikes, Hunt and Howe, were in fine fettle both making good gains and causing Hawaii lots of trouble. WBfKsm M •KV ut 139 OXY S FROSH IN ACTION Frosh Football AT THE opening of the football season, Coach Eddie Kienholz; and Line Coach F red Betts were faced with the problem of making a team out of the poorest frosh material of the past four years. The team was lacking not only in numbers but in weight and experience, and it was apparent from the first that the wonder frosh team of last year could not be duplicated. Under the tutelage of Coach Kienholz, however, the team made steady improve ' ment. With the exception of the first game in which they beat the San Diego State frosh 19-0, the team lost all their games by a constantly narrowing margin. In the final game of the season with Pomona, the freshmen were going so well in the last half that they succeeded in making nineteen points on a team previously unscored on. Continuing under the same coach, some of the Tiger Cubs ought to make good varsity material next year. They are familiar with the Kienhols method and should improve rapidly. The team was hampered at times by the lack of cooperation from their own class ' mates, for at times there were not enough men out to form two teams. Another element that hindered the freshmen was injuries, several men being put out early in the season. 140 Basketball I Mil Qaptain Jirdier OCCIDENTAL was fortun- ate in having a leader of Neal Archer ' s calibre to lead the basketball team through the 1928 season. This was conclusively proven by the spirit and attitude of the team during the critical Whittier series. Only an unfor- tunate accident kept the Bengals from a championship and the showing made by the team under the circumstances was nothing short ot phenomenal. Neal Archer has been, through it all, a good court general, a great leader, a sure shot and above all a good sportsman. CaptaiwElect Ketchersid BY HIS wonderful showing during the 1928 season Ernie Ketchersid has shown that he is the logical successor to Neal Archer as captain of the 1929 varsity. Heretofore rather handicapped by his lack of weight, Ernie arrived this year with a bang and if he cannot take the team to victory in the coming season, leading the way with his dead shots and stellar playing, well, we rather miss our guess. I M2 ' Basketball THE Occidental Varsity Basketball squad displayed real class this year to finish in a tie with Whittier for the championship. Coach Eddie Kienholz instilled his fighting spirit into the entire team and consequently for the first time in history, the basketball title rests at Occidental. The enthusiasm took hold of the whole college and over thirty-five men turned out for the team; these included five lettermen from last year, Archer, Osgood, Ketchersid, Ellsworth and Walker, those from the strong frosh squad of last year, Beebe, Gandy, and Mc- Allister. This fine outlay of material was further strengthened by some experienced transfers in the persons of Getts, Murray and Baird. The Varsity played through the strenuous schedule of nine games, only dropping one and that by a two point margin. They showed their real class by snowing the alumni under by a 31-26 count in a pre-season contest. The first game found the Tigers invading San Diego on the home court of the teachers. San Diego is a new member of the Southern Conference and very little was known as to their strength on the floor. The Aztecs rushed the Oxy men off their feet to lead at half time. The game was far from over however and the Bengals came back with renewed fight and found the basket to pile up a 29-22 victory. Captain Archer, Ernie Ketchersid, diminutive forward, and Ed Beebe played ex- ceptional ball for the winners. Redlands had been hailed as a championship contender and was favored to take Occidental ' s invading varsity into camp. They more than lived up to expectations •w 1 143 k v Y I ■ ' ■-■ ELLSWORTH BAIRD GETTS NOBLE OSGOOD WILLIAMSON when they swamped the Tigers under an imposing total ot 14-4 during the first half. Coach Kienholz deserves plenty of credit, for the team which took the floor the second half was an unstoppable combination and the stellar playing and un- yielding fight gave the game to Oxy by a 25-24 count. It was a well played and closely fought game marking the Eagle Rock quintet as one ot the best on the coast. Ketchersid sunk 10 points to star tor the Tigers. After cleaning the Bulldogs the Occidental squad marched on to the championship by deposing of the La Verne and taking Cal Tech into camp twice. All three were good games and showed a marked improvement in the teamwork and basket shoot- ing of the team. Captain Neal Archer was always there leading the team ' s attack and seldom if ever did any man on the floor equal his stellar game. The second game with Cal Tech was the first on our home court and it received the whole- hearted support of the Student Body. Occidental was realizing that they had an unusual basketball aggregation in their midst. Occidental avenged her football defeat at the hands of Pomona by making the Sagehens number six in her list of victims. As is their custom Pomona put up a stiff battle but to no avail, for the superior Tiger five won as they pleased, with Getts and Archer starring. The Occidental-Whittier series, on which hung the championship, were among the outstanding games on the coast all year. Whittier boasted an unusually powerful aggregation and held a victory over the flashy U.C.L.A. quintet; they were heavy favorites to trim the scrapping Tigers. The first game was played on the Quaker ' s home floor and from the opening shot until the final whistle neither players or spectators paused for breath. First the Bengals would hold a slight lead and then brilliant shots by Weaver or Sucksdorf would put the Poets into the lead for a I 144 1 short stay. When all the pieces were picked up, and the smoke had cleared, Occidental ' s team, led by Captain Archer, had compiled 27 to a mere 26 digits for the Whittier squad. The return game was played to a capacity crowd on the Hollywood High floor. Whittier was determined to avenge their defeat and Occidental, having proven her strength, sought an undisputed claim to the basketball title. The game more than measured up to the wildest dreams of the sport writers in being a well played, hair raising contest. The Tigers started their drive with the opening gun and en- joyed a very narrow lead throughout the greater part of the game. Late in the last half, Archer and McAllister, who had both been playing inspired ball were removed because of four personals. In the remaining minutes Whittier moved into the lead and came out with a hard earned victory to the tune of 35-33. Archer with 16 points and Osgood with 10 starred for the Bengals, while Weaver was the Poets ' outstanding star. The Tiger Varsity ended their very successful season by trouncin g Pomona by a 27-17 count. Osgood and Noble played their last game for Oxy in basketball and played well. It was also Neal Archer ' s last game and he was given an ovation by the students such as few Bengal athletes have ever before received. This victory put the Tigers into a tie with Whittier for the Championship. Ernie Ketchersid, is Captain-elect for 1929 and Occidental bids fair to annex the undisputed championship. The returning lettermen are Getts, Beebe, Baird, Ellsworth and Ketchersid. £ 145 Freshmen basketball HANDICAPPED by the lack of time in which to become an organisation and by the complete disinterest of their own class, the Frosh basketball team was defeated in every league game. However, too much cannot be said of the individual men, most of whom played on the regular frosh football team, who vainly endeavored to prevent the basketball season from becoming a repetition of their football experience. The men receiving numerals were: Slauss, Dimpter, Martin, Stony Johnson, Bernard Johnson, and Lewis. The team was captained by Lawrence Dimpter. Bill Anderson was the coach and Bub Williamson the manager. At the beginning of the season the team was sent down to San Diego where the entertainment of the Tiger Club quite wiped out the sting of the slight victory of the Teachers College team, and at that time prospects were still held for the frosh squad. Later on, however, the constant growth of the lop-sided scores began to evoke humorous comments and eventually the only credit accorded the team was supposedly by the other colleges for disabling the varsity in practice scrimmages. Notwithstanding, the men who endeavored to make the team a success, whether they received letters or not, should be credited for their effort. t 146 Trac (147 Qaptain VYCilton l ash EVIDENCE of Milt Nash ' s ability as a leader are visible in the gold track shoes that may be seen dangling from the persons of the 1928 letter men. A strong squad came back and it needed only the inspiration example set by a man of Nash ' s calibre to take them through an undefeated Confer- ence season. Anybody who has led an Occidental Track Team in a victory over Pomona has not lived in vain and Milt Nash has a lot to be proud of in looking back over his year ' s work. ■ ■• ■ BerZ Goodheart THE best middle-distance man in the Conference that ' s Willie Goodheart. Mr. Goodheart is not a comer - — Mr. Goodheart has ar- rived. With Willie leading the team next year and the Timberwolf on the job as coach, there is no reason why Oxy should not repeat the con- ference championship of this year. r- - 1 148 j THE OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE VARSITY TRACK SQUAD 1928 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS Uracil AS THE Christmas holidays drew to a close and Coach Pipal started work with a small but determined group of track prospects, chances for a confer ' ence championship looked exceedingly dim. The loss of such menasScovel, Tanner, Graf, and Brodhead left a gap that seemed almost hopeless to attempt to fill. However the return to school of Carlisle Bailey and Berl Goodheart made up in a measure for this loss. With these two men and with Harold Webb, Don Imler, Gordon Newell, Charles Ruth and a flock of sophomores and new men, Pipal built up a powerful squad that came undefeated through the season and then turned in enough stellar performances to win the annual conference meet. It was not a group of reputed stars that made up the squad early in the season, but a number of men, mostly untried and inexperienced that composed it. For many years it has been this way at Occidental. Obscure men have come in, drifted out onto the track, and have left school star performers. The answer seems to be in the coaching. It is Coach Pipal who works with the men, develops them, and brings out the latent powers within them. To our own Timberwolf goes the credit and honor for the 1928 championship. After several weeks of rigid training including a couple of practice meets and the entry of several relay teams and individuals in the A.A.U. Relays, the track season officially opened with the Oxy-Caltech meet held on Patterson field February 18 . This scrap was a walkaway for the Bengal runners, the final score being 97-42. Harold Ironman Webb was high point man with 15 digits to his credit. The chief feature of the meet was the promising performances of a large number of •KV 149 1 NEWELL DIXON RITCHIE WEBB sophomores. Dick Fairbanks won the 440 in a spectacular race in 52:6. Fred Appleton came from behind to grab first m the 880 in 2:4. George Hall won the high jump with a leap of six feet and then turned in a victory in the broad jump. Frank Winfield had little difficulty in clearing 11 feet 6 inches to win the pole vault. Besides these winners Crawford, Dixon, Haworth, Smith, Ward, and Carrey, six more second year men, counted for points. Don Imler, elongated distance man, rambled to first in the mile run in fast time. Gordon Newell cut loose on the last lap of the two mile event to win from Morton of the engineers. The relay concluding the meet was a Tiger riot. Ward Schwiezer running first piled up a big lead which Nash and Fairbanks increased until Bailey, running anchor man won by over one hundred yards. Two weeks later the team journeyed down to San Diego and emerged with a 76-64 victory m a meet replete with thrills and upsets. Before the javelin and relay had been run off the score stood 7o- )8 and the Tigers needed one point to cinch the meet. Webb got off a good throw m the spear hurling event to place third and win the meet. Not content with this the relay team composed of Appleton, Schwiezer, Fairbanks and Bailey turned in a close victory to put the meet on ice. Bailey who had been defeated by Worden, State Captain, in the open quarter started about three yards behind in the last lap but on the final curve he forced past Worden to win by two yards. The time 3:26.4 was very good considering the windy day and poor track. Goodheart, the outstanding distance winner on the Tiger team, lost the mile to Brown of the Aztecs, but came back to win the 880 in fast time. Jl K150I FSI J J I RUTH IMLER HAWORTH APPLETON In the two mile Ben Ward and Gordon Newell finished one, two. Klein of Occi ' dental surprised all by taking second in the hammer throw. The best race of the day, the ioo yard dash, was won by Johnson of San Diego who with a perfect start and a slight wind at his back negotiated the distance in 4 11 •K)J RUTH WINS THE HUNDRED -H+A r y 1 151 J T fr ' WINFIELD SMITH HALL CRAWFORD JENSEN 9:8. The outcome of this event was much disputed, the judges and spectators being of divided opinions as to whether Ruth or Johnson came in first. The decision, however, was awarded to the southerner. Ruth also nabbed second in the furlong and Captain Nash took third. Ritchie and Hershey, two Bengals who had previously failed to come through, tied for first in the high jump at 5 feet 9 inches. This second conference victory showed that Coach Pipal had a powerful cham - pionship contender, the only obstacle in the path to victory being the fighting Sagehen squad of Bob Strehle. After two more weeks of rigid training Coach Pipal had his men in peak form and all set for the boys from Claremont. However, Jupe Pluvius took a hand in the matter and converted Patterson field into a fair excuse for a lake. As a result the big meet was staged the following Tuesday. All the dope pointed to an exceedingly close meet with Pomona being conceded the edge because of better marks having been hung up by their athletes. When the sun set on the purple hills and disappeared into the Western Sea a group of blue and white clad tracksters trooped into the training quarters a defeated team. Rising to supreme heights, pulling upset after upset, and taking points where none had been conceded, the Oxy Tiger humbled the highly-touted Sagehen in a glorious meet 90-50. The festivities started off with the mile run which Goodheart and Imler won in a dead heat in 4:39. In the next event, the hundred yard dash, Babe Ruth and Milt Nash finished one, two. It was still anybody ' s meet at this time with the high hurdles, Pomona ' s strong event, on deck. In the middle of this race Dick Bell, Sagehen timber topper, slipped in the mud and fell on his face while Smith, Webb and Hall coasted on to a clean sweep. 152 I HERSHEY WARD BAILEY SCHWEIZER FAIRBANKS As Bell skidded into the mud, so went Pomona ' s chances for victory. Apparently Pipal ' s boys were not satisfied though, ior they turned a perfectly good contest into a riot, cleaning up in most of the remaining events. Bailey and Rew ran a beautiful dead heat in the quarter in 50:4 seconds. Fred Appleton and Willie Goodheart took first and second in the 880 in 2 minutes 3 seconds. Gordon Newell upset Kennedy m the two mile event. Ruth and Nash again finished one, two in the furlong. (Continued on Vage_26y) •K THE DISTANCE MEN GET UNDER WAY Wfr 1 153 Frosh 3rac O of NLY one conference dual meet was held this year. Against the gleaming golden and white cohorts of Cal Tech after an interesting and hard-fought program a fast relay cinched the meet for the Tiger cubs with the score 7 1 to 69. Stead, Belman, Larson, and Captain Merwm Brown all placed firsts. Others working to uphold the Oxy standard in this and following meets included Patch, Haynes, Entwistle, Jones, Smith, D.Taylor, Marten, Driscoll, Umemoto, Wheat and DeSoto. Besides the one conference track duel various high schools were encountered. Against Franklin, Inglewood, and San Diego Mili- tary Academy the yearlings brought home the bacon. After close hard-fought meets the frosh tracksters fell before Santa Monica and Roosevelt high schools. Partly dispelling the jinx resting upon Frosh athletics for the season, under the capable leadership of Captain Merwin Brown, the frosh wrested second in the Frosh Conference, being passed only in garnering digits by the Sagechicks. Brown led the Frosh scoring first places in both discus and shot. He sailed the platter out 126 ' 4 feet io ! 4 inches for a new conference record. Ivan Belman pressed Bear of Pomona in both sprints, only being nosed out of victory in the 100 by inches. Against tough com- petition, Stead, Haynes, Entwistle, Hensley, Brown and Larson won points. CAPT. BROWN 1 154 Baseball 155 Qaptain Qliff Morse THIS year will finish Captain Rowdy Morse ' s career at Occidental. This is Morse ' s third year on the varsity baseball team and already he has two gold baseballs in his possession. Throughout all the time that Captain Morse has played ball at Oxy he has held down the keystone sack. While never a flashy player, he has been perhaps the most consistent man on the squad. His hitting has been good and his fielding excellent. Rowdy ' 1 Morse started baseball as captain of the frosh squad, where by his consistent playing and headwork he made a name for himself. In his sophomore year he was the hero of one of the U.S.C. games by clouting out a home run to make the only score of the day. At the end of his second year of varsity ball he was elected captain of the 1928 squad. With only green men returning he has never become discouraged but has helped Coach Clark develop a championship team. There is nothing that Captain Morse would rather see than the fourth consecutive championship come home to Oxy, but win or lose it may be said that he has always played the game. The loss through graduation in June will be keenly felt when Captain Clifton Morse receives his diploma. 156 } Baseball WITH Captain Cliff Morse the only returning letterman, Coach Wilkie Clark faced the gloomy prospect of building an entirely new team. The men who reported were those who had been on last year ' s varsity squad, some numeral men from the frosh and several Junior College men. As the season has progressed so have the boys been playing better ball. Walt Coultas and Harold Mosher behind the bat and Al DeHoag, Bill Charnock, Leo Thomason, and Harry Munz on the mound made up the batteries that started the games. The infield, composed of Art Kussman at first, Captain Morse at the keystone sack, Denman at short, and Bill Adams at third, have been playing a good brand of ball. The team has been playing a good number of practice games and with each game they have shown a decided improvement. A trip to Arizona, where the boys had a little hard luck and succeeded in only tieing one game out of the three, finished the practice games. The conference opened against Whittier and looked like a mighty close game until the fifth inning when Al DeHoag ' s arm went bad on him and the Poets succeeded in getting six men across the home plate before the inning was over. This handicap was too much for the Tigers to overcome and the game ended in favor of the Quakers, 8-2. Keating on the mound and Hunicutt and Weaver in the infield played the best ball for the Poets while Billie Adams and Glen Rozelle starred for the losers. The San Diego Aztecs were then taken on by the Bengals and in this game the Tigers went on a batting spree to win, 20-2. Bill Charnock on the mound held the visitors to four hits besides cracking out two triples and two singles. Art Kussman clouted out two homers, a triple, and a single, while Denman was not far behind with a home run and a pair of singles. Ault and Montgomery worked on the mound for the Southerners. f 157 1 J . % BAIRD MURRAY MUNI ADAMS T5he U. S. Q. Series FOR the first time in many and many a summer, the Trojan Baseball team scored victories over the Occidental Nine and this by the conclusive scores of io-6 and 8-i. To Coach Clark, the Oxy mentor, these were test games for his new nine, and for such an early season affair his men performed creditably. The U.S.C. team was virulently stimulated by the promise of a tour to the Orient and were hot on their toes to make a good showing. Thomason, ' 30, hurled the first game for Oxy and got good support in the batting department, but his team-mates fielded rather raggedly, having seven errors chalked up against them. The second game was played at Patterson field under threatening clouds. However, the rain managed to hold off long enough to enable U.S.C. to finish the game on the long end of the 8-i score. Charnock pitched air ' tight ball for five innings but faltered before a U.S.C. rally in the sixth. Teachout, Mishkin and Haserot, the trio who for three seasons were the poison to the Trojan hopes oi victory, were much missed this game. The Oxy tally came in the fourth inning when Denman pulled the old Ruth- Gehrig stunt and lost the ball in center field. 158 1 DEHOAG ROZELLE DENMAN THOMASON T5he -Arizona Series ON MARCH 29, the Bengal Baseball team arrived at the University of Arizona for a three game series with the Wildcats. Occidental lost two or the games and tied the other but considering the fact that most of the mate- rial was new this year the showing was not so bad. Thomason, Baird, Charnock Munz and De Hoag, served as the pitching battery during the series. Somehow or other, there was a hitch in the delivery of the Occidental team ' s equipment, and handicapped by being forced to use borrowed equipment, the Bengals dropped the first game 13-1. In the second game with their own outfits, the Tigers held the Wildcats to a 14-14 tie and the game was finally called on account of darkness. Although they lost the last game 6-3, it was by far the best game of the series. No errors were made by Occidental and Arizona made only one. The series, while not as favorable to the Tigers as it could have been, was conclusive proof of the excellence of Wilkie Clark ' s coaching and the Bengal mentor expressed himself as satisfied with the team. •w 1 159 COULTAS HUNT CHARNOCK Miscellaneous Games ON MARCH 7, the Baseball team journeyed to Santa Monica to receive a defeat at the hands of the Hollywood Stars. The score was n-2 and a number of injuries hampered the Occidental team. De Hoag and Hunt were incapacitated. Al De Hoag pulled a muscle in his arm. In a practice game with the strong L.A.A.C. team, the Tiger nine was defeated by a count of 6-3. Rouelle garnered Occidental ' s only hit. The wildest and most raggedly played baseball game ever seen on Patterson field took place between Alhambra, runner-up for the Southern California high school championship last year, and Coach Clark ' s team of inexperienced Tigers on March 16th. After watching Haserot, Mishkm, Conde and Godette perform for three years, one cannot fairly estimate the ability of the present players. However, the Oxy nine forced the Alhambra outfit to extra innings before succumbing to the Alhambra boys. The score, 4-3, gives some idea of the closeness of the contest. Muns twirled for Occidental. In their next practice game, the Oxy horsehiders came out of their hitting slump to wallop the Auto Club by a 6-3 count. Leo Thomason turned in some steady performance on the mound, striking out eight batteries; while Captain Morse connected for two doubles. fi6o] J (Conference Games THE Whittier nine upset any hopes the Tigers held for a fourth consecutive championship by annexing the opening game by a count of 8-2. It was a hard fought game, only being decided when DeHoag ' s arm gave out in the sixth inning. Until that time the score had stood at 2-2, both nines playing bang-up ball. Al pulled a muscle earlier in the season and this further injury may put him on the bench lor the season. He is a valuable man at the bat as well as in the box. Coach Wilkie Clark polished off some of the rough edges during the intervening week, and Occidental looked much better in their game with San Diego. The Tigers went on a batting rampage to snow the San Diego outfit under a 20-2 count. Every man on the team performed well throughout the contest. Charnock chucked for eight innings, holding San Diego to four scattered hits. Art Kussman starred at the bat, collecting two home runs, a triple and a single. Denman also knocked out a home run. Charnock and Captain (Rowdy) Morse proved themselves stellar bat- ters, each responding with a triple. Under Coach Clark the squad is rapidly improving, and will furnish plenty of competition for the leading conference teams. •i )J -wi r 1 161 1928 Qhampionship Prospects THE graduation of all except one letter man leaves a big gap in a team, espe- cially when among those letter men are included such stellar performers as Teachout, Mishkin, Godette, Conde and Haserot. Wilkie Clark has done a lot of work trying to fill up the holes and build up a new team and the results have been satisfactory if not entirely successful. The team has been gaining in strength and experience and at the time of the present writing still has a chance for the championship. The first conference game was dropped to Whittier by an 8-2 score, but in the second with San Diego, the Tigers bucked up and trounced the teachers 20-2. Other conference games so far, are Caltech-San Diego, which the engineers won, ii ' Q and the Pomona-Whittier game which the poets took, 7-6. These show- ings would seem to give the edge in the conference race to Whittier but both Occidental and Pomona have return games with the Poets and if the Bengals can stage a comeback the pennant may come to Patterson field yet. I 162 J Oxy ' Ball Players VXCa e Good Solly Mishfyn SOLLY MISHKIN was one of the most promising athletes who ever came to Occidental. His work in baseball was so promising that the San Francisco ball club had strings on him when he was still in high school. After playing three years of stellar varsity ball for Oxy and making a Phi Beta Kappa key, he graduated last year and went immediately into professional ball. This year he is playing regular first base for the San Francisco Seals and as he is playing good ball and is still young, his future looks very bright. Bud Teachout BUD TEACHOUT was a pitcher of very marked ability in his high schoo l days at Franklin where he pitched his team into the final round of the Southern California Championship. His college career at Occidental was a long succession of baseball victories and during his sojourn at college he won over fifty games and lost only about ten. After graduating last year he joined the Hollywood Stars and for the remainder of the season played with them. His pitching average was about .500. This year he is with Seattle to which club he has been farmed out by the Detroit Americans who own his contract. His work has brought favorable criticism from all quarters and he should be heard from in the big leagues in the future. 163 Freshman Baseball _. THE class of ' 31 showed more spirit and tight in baseball than in any other sport. At the time of going to press they have a string of five consecutive victories to their credit. They have won over Hollywood, Glendale, and Roosevelt High Schools and the Highland Park All-Stars. The Freshman team is expected to place high in the conference and possibly to IL jK! 1WI win it. As a whole, the hitting of the team is pretty good, the § average being around .300. Captain Stony Johnson, Russ Long and Whitey Martin are leading the team in batting with averages of around .350. Coach Bill Anderson deserves much credit for taking an inexperienced squad of men and making a snappy team out of them. The following men will probably make numerals: Catcher: Captain Johnson Pitchers: Johnson and Hanks j st. Base: Long MJ JKl 2nd. Base: Taylor Shortstop: Dimpter T,rd. Base: Martin Outfield: Thorne, Marsh, Hensley capt. johnson Utility: Everett, Tallman, Heiges 164 1 ' Minor Sports ti«5] S3 CAPT. GORCHAKOFF OSBORNE KUSSMAN 15 ennis OCCIDENTAL ' S sudden rise in the racket circles has certainly been as rapid as it has been elevating. It was just two years ago, in 1926, that Oxy won its first inter-collegiate laurels when its representatives were returned vie tors in the California State championships at Ojai. These victories were the result of freshman tennis stars, and thus, when these same athletes came back in 1927, it was not surprising at all to see them waits through to again capture the California inter-collegiate titles in singles and doubles. Occidental ' s tennis officialdom recognised real talent m their representatives who had twice won for the institution State honors, and who, a few weeks earlier than the 1927 play-offs, had also brought to Eagle Rock its first Southern Conference varsity championship in all Oxy history. After some deliberation in raising funds, the Tigers were announced represented in national competition, for the Bengal representatives were sent East to Haverford, Pennsylvania, to compete for national inter-collegiate honors. It is a matter of history now, but worthy of mention that Occidental, in its first season, was a finalist in both the singles and doubles — Yes-siree — runner-up for the United States Inter-collegiate championship. The Eagle Rock netters were given second ranking in the singles and doubles. Later, when the National rankings for men were announced, we find that this same doubles combination were placed No. 9 in the United States — truly Davis Cup material —at least mighty near such, for such a position is an honor indeed. [66 MGR. SUMNER MAENO ROBINSON All of this was accomplished by two of Southern California ' s most popular junior stars — of yesteryear — Ben GorchakofF and Norval Craig — and it is enough to say that the accomplishments of this pair are certainly appreciated by Occidental upon whom honor has been bestowed because of these victories. Upon return, Norval Craig became suddenly ill, and after an attempt to return to classes, was forced to leave school the first semester. Later he turned professional, and is now located at the Los Angeles tennis club in Hollywood. Such a misfortune, too, for Occidental had the material with which to whip most every institution on the Coast, including the Coast conference members. With the loss of Craig through absence of school and his professional adventures, in addition to losing Kenneth Lee, via the transfer route, and Ewing Bone, by graduation, only two members of the championship conference team of 1927 returned for second year service — these were Ben GorchakofF and Yasu Maeno. At a gathering one week prior to the opening of the season, GorchakofF was elected as 1928 captain. From the ranks of the freshman team of 1926 came Arthur Kussman, Lee Osborne, Dale Robinson, Art Whomes and Ed Fogg. Kussman needed no introduction to his varsity mates, for as a member of Los Angeles High School ' s teams, he held the State, Southern California and City doubles championships for two years. Robinson and Osborne starred as members of the Glendale High teams in their prep days. Whomes and Fogg were making their careers at college. The largest schedule in the history of tennis at Oxy was announced for the 1928 season, and the above squad of Orange and Black representatives were ready for the Call. The first time that Oxy had ever made a Northern trip, to meet Stanford and California on their home courts, came this year, in addition to regular con- VJ - uA ' V 167 ference meets, and numerous practice tilts with prep teams. As this article goes to press, the Southern Conference race starts for the 1928 title, and though Oxy is a titlebound favorite, dangerous threats are hurled at the Eagle Rock squad by Pomona, traditional rival, and San Diego State Teachers college. Both these insti- tutions have classy teams, as classy as our own Bengal machine, and within this trio will come the conference champions. Oxy has more than an even chance. The line-up of the varsity team for 1928 follows: First singles — Ben Gorchakoff — Captain Second singles — Arthur Kussman Third singles — Lee Osborne Fourth singles- — Dale Robinson Fifth singles — Yasu Maeno First doubles — Gorchakoff-Kussman Seco7id doubles — Osborne-Robinson Towards the latter part of April, Ben Gorchakoff, twice singles and doubles champion of State inter-collegiate ranks, and Art Kussman, left for Ojai where the Orange and Black representatives opened battle against other State colleges in an effort to gam for a third time in as many years, the above mentioned championships, incidentally gaining permanent possession of the challenge trophies. Gorchakoff, having twice won this event, was expected to again triumph but Stanford, of the Coast circuit, and San Diego State, and the U.C.L.A., were title contenders to fear. It is indeed fortunate that we may say of the whole squad — they ' re a fighting team, a group of fine representatives of our institution, and the best thing of all is— they ' ll all be back again to carry on to additional victories for Occidental ! . I 168 J W ' ' % ' J Frosh Dennis ONE proof for the statement that the past year ' s freshman class possessed lots and lots of pep is shown in their earnest support of the minor sport of tennis. Anxious to help their Big Brothers administer defeat to traditional rivals such as Pomona, and surrounding college institutions, ten of the most promis ' ing racket wielders in the first year class turned out en masse one afternoon, completed a round robin tournament, arranged a ranking list, and later let out the war cry of the hungry Tiger Bring on the Sagehens, the Bruins, the Trojans, etc. 1 ' ' Considering that this article goes to press much in advance of the season, it is hard to give an outline of the team ' s accomplishments, or even prospects, but the freshman squad has been given a conference schedule with meets arranged with Pomona, San Diego State and California Technology institute. Practice affairs with other prep teams and frosh college squads have also been outlined. Members of this year ' s first year team are Wesley Howe, Murray Imhoff, Willard Koenig, James Lintner, John Bear, Carl Eisoff, Hatasu Hon, Douglas Reynolds, and Clifton Coates. We might add that the above list was the ranking order of the squad previous to the open season and start of the challenge matches. Changes were expected in the listings later. Gay Sumner, assistant manager, was appointed to guide the freshmen through their ensuing season. •WJ — A I 169 1 -HsA swv Qross Qountry THE All-Conference cross country run was run off as scheduled on December 18, at Pomona. The scantily clad cinder artists were given a real endur- ance test in a cold, driving rain and the course was three to tour inches deep in mud. The results of the run found Brown of San Diego in first place. BerleGoodheart was the first Oxy man to place being not far behind Brown with a good fourth. The other men running for Oxy were, Ben Ward 9th, Crawford 18th, Fred Appleton 21st, and Don Imler 23rd. U.C.L.A. won the meet. San Diego took second. Oxy should have had third but the judges failed to note Don Imler cross the line, due to the downpour of rain. Had the weather permitted the results would have been quite different, as the muddy track was a great handicap to all the lighter men. In the Freshman race, the judges got all fogged up in the rain and the results never were clear. The Freshmen competing were: Smith, Parker, Entwhistle, Taylor and Wheat. 170 Ice Hoc ey THE Occidental Ice Hockey team has just closed one of its most successful seasons. Teams from both U.S.C. and U.C.L.A. were met several times, with the Oxy pucksters coming in for their just share of the victories. All the games were played at the Palais de Glace, where the team also held practice regularly throughout the season. With the close of the 1928 season, Occidental completes her third year as a participant in the ice hockey league of Los Angeles. Special mention should be made of Captain Hu Noble, who for three years has coached and captained the Bengal ice hockey team to countless victories over rival institutions. Noble organised the team in 1926, and in that year the sport had to be supported by the members of the team. In 1927, however, because of the almost individual efforts on the part of Noble, ice hockey was recognized as a minor sport by the Associated Students, and, therefore, became a self-supporting activity. Letters were awarded members of the team, and certain equipment was purchased for members of the squad by the student body. The year just past has seen ice hockey at Occidental in its best season to date. Larger crowds attended the games, and a far greater all-around interest has been shown in the contests. Graduation hits the ice hockey team a hard blow this year, for Captain Noble, Playing-Manager Al King, George Juett, Art Pomeroy, and Charles Abbe are all Sv V 171 seniors, and will be lost to the sport next season. York Kroman, Johnny Paap, and Lyle McAllister will return as veterans to fill the gaps left by the graduates; and Bob Freeman and John Hunt, both ineligible this year to varsity play, will also be on hand to help swell the depleted ranks. With a few new-comers, the games of the 1929 season should not be lacking in thrills for the spectators. Water Polo PLAYING in the hardest of luck due to lack of experience and lack of practice, the Occidental water polo team turned in but one victory while they were beaten three times. The team conquered the aggregation from the Pasadena Athletic Club by a score of 6 to 5. Oxy has a very pressing need for a tank in which the team can work out. Oxy was defeated by teams from Hollywood 9-0, and by U.S.C. 8-o and in another game with the Pasadena Athletic ' s by a 12-1 score. Jack Schurch acted as coach and aided the team materially with his cooperation. The team consisted of: Elmer Warrell Wally Bergau Bob Donaldson Bob Freeman A. Campbell L. Mitchell L. Janofsky Jack Hensley I 172 } Intramural Sports Basketball INITIATING the new policy for intramural sports at Occidental, Coach Kien- holz planned a program of Inter-Fraternity games in various sports. The first of these was a basketball tournament in which all of the fraternities par- ticipated. In this the houses were divided into two groups, the A.T. O s, D.B.T. ' s, Chi Rhos and Swan Hall comprising one group and the other consist- ing of the Fijis, Psi Delts, Sigmas and Kenowans. The winner of each league was decided by percentage and the league champions met in a final championship game. In the first game the Chi Rhos polished off the Dorm by a 28-8 score, the same evening found the A.T.O s victorious over the D. B.T. ' s in a gory contest in which even the referee was fouled. In League 2, the Psi Delts trounced the Keno- wans in a rough game, and the Fijis out-fouled the Sigmas to win by an 11-5 score. The next week found the Phi Gams smothering the Psi Delts in the second round of play while the Sigmas were on the winning end of a 27-16 score in a game with the Kenowans. The Phi Gams took down everything in sight in league 2 to win the championship and in league 1 the A.T.O s outclassed their opponents. In the championship game the A.T.O. ' s aided by the brilliant shooting of Kussman downed the Fijis to win the finals. 173! TDrack A GREAT deal of interest was shown among the fraternities and classes in the novice track meet. Among the fraternities, points were not counted, the object being to see who could place the most men. Of course lettermen were ineligible in any event in which they had placed in varsity competition. Among the classes the Sophomores were conceded a decided edge on account of the fact that all of the last year ' s freshman team was eligible. When the smoke had cleared away, the Sophomores had administered a crushing defeat to the other classes, copping with 95 points to their credit. The rest of the classes strung out along the line with scores of: Freshmen 33, Juniors 3,3, and Seniors 15. The Delta Beta Tau Fraternity annexed first honors among the greek letter organizations, placing eleven men. The Sigmas took second with seven men placing and the Psi Delts sneaked into third with six places. The race between the Psi Delts and the Delta Beta Taus for first m the relay was a thriller. The herculean efforts of Ivan Bellman on the last lap gave the D.B.T. ' s first with the Psi Delts second and the Sigmas third.

The Frat men were divided into two divi- sions the first being composed of A.T.O., D.B.T., Psi Delts and the Kenc wans, while the second group included the Fijis, Chi Rhos, Sigmas, and Swan Hall. Each team consisted of seven members, and the rules were comparable to regular football rules with the exception, of course, of the tackling. In the first game of the schedule, the A.T. O. ' s took an easy game from the Keno- wans, the final score being 32-0. The Psi Delts took the D.B.T. ' s down by a 13-0 score. The Fijis took the measure of the Sigmas and the Chi Rhos lost to Swan Hall in a close contest. In the second round of play, the A.T.O. ' s lost to the Psi Delts 6-2, McAllister starring for the winners and Red 1 ' Lewis for the losers. The Fijis whitewashed the Swan Hallers to win their division. In the finals the winners of league 1 met the winner of league 2 in the playoff for the grand sweepstakes. In this struggle the Fijis emerged victorious over the Psi Delts, the final score being 6 to 3. •w 175 OCCIDENTAL ' S DIVERSIFIED INTERESTS Many and varied are the activities which engross the mind of the student at Occi- dental.

The Los Angeles Tiger Club, an outgrowth of the old Occidental O Club, was the first Tiger Club, organized about three years ago. This is a luncheon Club of Occidental men who gather once a month to discuss things of interest to the College. One by one Tiger Clubs have been organized in other cities until there are some ten now in existence. Others are in the process of being formed before the close of the current year. These Tiger Clubs serve to foster and keep alive the interest of their own members and to play a large part in bringing the College before the community in which they exist. In addition to the following listed in the order in which they were organized, unorganized groups of alumni meet frequently in distant cities on definite occasions: LOS ANGELES TIGER CLUB ORANGE COUNTY TIGER CLUB Robert Creswell ' 19 President Charles Pearson ' 20 President Howard Seidell ' 20 Secretary Nancy Elder ' i8 Secretary SAN DIEGO TIGER CLUB PRINCETON TIGER CLUB Ralph Deems ' 17 President William MacInnis ' 26 President Cornelia Johnson ' 24 Secretary SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY TIGER CLUB CITRUS BELT TIGER CLUB Charles S.

In a campaign for the cultivation of its alumni, the Association has sent copies of each issue of the magazine to each of its two thousand graduates and non- graduates for a two-fold purpose : to keep them informed as to college and alumni news and activities and to cultivate their interest and support of the College. The magazine is a member of the National Alumni Magazines, Associated and as such carries national hotel advertising. Copies of the Alumnus may be found in the official alumni hotels of the United States. EDITORIAL STAFF R. Benajah Potter ' 17, Editor Lucille M. Jackson ' 17, Assistant Editor I 179 J THE OLD GRADS WARM UP T5he Occidental -Alumni -Association The Tear ' s Wor ANEW term has come to be whispered abroad in college circles and that term is Alumnal Associations. This term has been defined to mean an association not only of graduates of a liberal arts department of a college or university but the graduates of its various schools, such as music, normal, commer- cial, law, etc., and also its ex-students. Occidental has all unwittingly during the last two years been such an association. Although we have only a liberal arts department with its liberal arts degree, we have included in our number not only degree holders, but non-graduates as well. And next year we may go one step further, we may open to membership those persons who have done graduate work at Occidental. Such an amendment to the constitution is up before the Council at the present time and will, before the close of the present year, probably be con- firmed by that body. The Occidental Alumni Association has, during the year 1927-28, been functioning under its constitution as amended in 1927. This amendment provides for the fol- lowing members of the Council: fifteen elective members who shall be divided into three groups of five members each, elected for a term of three years, the secretary- treasurer, the alumni editor, the alumni representative, the graduate manager, all representatives on the Board of Athletic Control, all trustees of the Board of Trustees elected by the Alumni, one representative from each class and one repre- sentative from each organized Tiger Club. Because of the large number of members on the Council, an Executive Committee was created consisting of the president, the secretary-treasurer, the editor, the Graduate Manager, the alumni representa- tive, and three members of the Council elected at large by the Council. Such an organization as The Executive Committee, meeting monthly, has satisfactorily taken care of the detail business of the Association, recommending important actions to the Council who have met once in three months. 180 J The Alumni Association has particularly concerned itself this year with the or- ganization of Tiger Clubs in certain communities. The previous year found clubs in Los Angeles, Orange County and at Princeton Seminary. This year Clubs have been organised in the San Joaquin Valley, including Fresno, Kings and Tulare Counties; the Citrus Belt, including San Bernardino, Redlands, Riverside and neighboring communities; the Occidental Teachers 1 Club of Los Angeles County, composed of all elementary, high school and college teachers and school librarians who are Occidental alumni; the San Francisco Bay Club, including alumni in all Bay cities; the San Gabriel Valley Tiger Club including in its membership people from Pomona, Puente, Covina, Glendora, Monrovia and neighboring towns. Before the close of the present college term Clubs will have been organized in Glendale, Long Beach and Pasadena. These Clubs centralize the interest of their members in Occidental, they put Occidental before the communities and through them Occidental alumni can express their interest in the College in very definite ways. A Contact Committee of the Alumni Association has begun functioning this year. This Committee seeks to bring the alumni and the students together so that they may become mutually acquainted. Under its auspices two alumni programs have been given this year at Student Assembly periods. The first was an Armistice Day program when the Alumni Association honored particularly those of its number who had given their lives for their country in the late World War. The second had as its guest, Mr. Goeffrey Francis Morgan ' io, an imminent and accomplished platform lecturer, nationally known. Not only does the committee ' s work express itself in the nature of Assembly speakers, but it strives to make possible all kinds of contacts between the alumni and the students, in class rooms, in professional fraternal life, and in all college organizations. The Alumni Association exists always for one thing — for the service it can render its Alma Mater — Occidental. Its members are ever loyal sons and daughters of a glorious Alma Mater, striving always to uphold her ideals and to further her interests. •K ALUMNI DAY IQ27 - ' AM V. 1 J m ma 1 1928 TVJ S M 181 1 Lucille Jac son, Alumni Secretary AS SECRETARY of the Alumni Association, Miss Lucille Jackson, ' 17, fulfills her many duties conscientiously and efficiently; and the duties of her office are not simple.

Through its columns the alumni are kept in touch with school activities, the plans of the administration for the college, and with news of the various classes and alumni. Under the direction of the present editors The Alumnus has become indispensable to Occidental graduates. The success of the Alumni banquet and dance before the Pomona game and the support afforded the football team was largely due to the efforts and diligence of Miss Jackson. This year marked the inauguration of a new Alumni social event, the Alumni dinner in honor of graduate students at Occidental. Miss Jackson ' s plans for this dinner were so successful that it promises to become an annual affair of much import for graduate students. The collection of dues from Alumni is a difficult task and the success of the Assc ciation depends upon it. Miss Jackson has been so fortunate that there was a credit balance this year. With this surplus a multigraph machine was purchased which has not only been of great aid to the Alumni Association, but also to the Associated Students and Administration. Despite the burden of her Alumni duties, Miss Jackson has found time to act as secretary for Dr. Ballard and has helped in the arrangement of many chapel pro- grams. Much credit is due to Miss Jackson for the efficient handling of her duties and for her efforts in keeping the Alumni body so well organised and active. f 182 J i Forensics 1 183 1 f Pi Kappa Delta Womens Honorary Forensic BETA CHAPTER OFFICERS Leora Fuller President Nellie Onstine Secretary-Treasurer members Pauline Boulger Frances Raab Frances Ryan Honorary Member — Dean Meyers n K A I 184 Tau Kappa Alpha Rational Honorary Forensic Fraternity Beta Chapter OFFICERS Roscoe Ryan President Kenneth Holland Secretary MEMBERS Harold E.

With but one experienced man on the team a schedule of ten forensic encounters was carried out with marked success. Glenn Lembke in his first year ' s activity as coach effectively trained a team of seven new men, five of them freshmen. However, this year ' s preparation should bear fruits for all of this season ' s squad will return for participation in the schedule of 1928-1929, which includes the biennial eastern tour. Certain experimental changes have been effected at Occidental in order to add to the value of debating. Formal decision has been abolished, and the debates have in many cases been followed by audience discussion. The non-decision debate puts the forensic contest on a much sounder basis, and this type has been employed in most of the contests of the year. This practice has not been rigidly adhered to, for in several of Occidental ' s debates away from the campus decisions have been rendered under the one-judge-system . Occidental ' s forensic satellites met on the platform teams representing practically all the colleges and universities of the southwest. In all cases, with the exception of the California debate, the question presented for argument was the same and reads as follows: Resolved, that American investors and investments in foreign lands should be protected only by the government of the nation in which the in- vestments are made. The Tigers opened the season against Southern California, Friday, February 10 in Alumni Hall. Kenneth Holland, forensic manager, and Dudley Dorman upheld the affirmative side of the question. This was Dorman ' s first appearance upon the stage of inter-collegiate debate, and his poise and easy delivery assured future success. March 1 found the Bengal Hopes entertaining the University of Arizona pair in Occidental assembly. Holland and Dorman again presented the affirmative argu- ments on the proposition mentioned above. The debate with Arizona has become an annual event which always promises heated competition. The University of California at Berkeley debaters travelling in the southland were the next opponents for the home team. Larry Powell and Glenn Lembke formed the squad which defended the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that democracy is a failure. The Verdugo Breakfast Club heard this debate, Powell ' s initial foren- sic effort at Occidental. 186 Southwestern and Occidental, in the next event in the Tiger debate program, engaged in a dual forensic encounter, the first half of which took place on March 20, and latter half on March 27. In the first bracket, Dixon and Janofsky, new recruits on the Bengal roster, advocated the affirmative of the season ' s topic here at Occidental. In the second section, Johnson and Shimanouchi, freshmen, journeyed to Southwestern where they vociferated the negative of the question. This debate tested the mettle of all four of the men, since it was their first attempt at inter ' collegiate forensics. Three days after the conclusion of the Southwestern series the University of Utah furnished the opposition at the First Methodist Episcopal church of South Pasadena when Dixon and Janofsky defended the proposition before a well-filled auditorium. The debate was featured by the fact that one of Utah ' s men was handicapped by the absence of sight. During the course of the season, Holland and Dorman met the forensic representa- tives of Pomona ' s prowess before the Los Angeles City Club as a highlight of the program following its banquet. Informal discussion in response to interrogation by members of the audience followed immediately upon the constructive arguments with the result that formal and direct rebuttal was eliminated from the contest. Doubling up again, Johnson and Shimanouchi, and Dixon and Janofsky participated in a dual debate with the Pasadena college team during the early part of May. The season ' s close found Porter Graves and Kaemper Fredericks debating against Whittier. The Quakers upheld the negative of the usual question in this encounter, the first effort for the freshmen in a forensic way. Coach Lembke and his proteges are all to be congratulated upon the brilliant showing of the squad throughout the difficult schedule. Lembke ' s ability to make two debaters grow where there was but one before is commendable. With such a successful year just completed the outlook for a great season during 1928-1929 is considered by Mr. Lembke and Dudley Dorman, forensic representative-elect, to promise many laurels for Occidental in the field of argumentation. n si jr 187 1 V T5he Debaters WITH one veteran Occidental debater returned to college at the start of the season, the problem was to build up a squad of experienced men and nine have represented the college in inter-collegiate debating during the season. All will be back next year to carry out an extensive program which is now being arranged. Dudley Dorman, present manager of forensics, came to Occidental from Los Angeles high school with little debate experience but in the opening contest of the year against Pomona showed great promise. He also met U.S.C and the University of Arizona, besides representing the college in oratory. A polished speaker, of whom great things are expected next year. Audell Dixon, formerly of Manual Arts high school, had no previous experience. Meeting Southwestern, Utah and Pasadena gave him the necessary experience. Stronger on constructive speaking than rebuttal work. Kaemper Fredricks opposed Whittier College. Conscientious work on his part m getting the basic principles of debating has helped. O. Porter Graves came here from Utah to oppose Whittier. Another inexperienced but fast developing speaker. G. Kenneth Holland, former forensics manager, was the only veteran this year. He climaxed a successful year with the Arizona contest, when his delivery and rebuttal work was the best of his career. He also met U.S.C. and Pomona. Leonard Janofsky, former South Pasadena debater, was one of the strongest rebuttal speakers on the squad and will be the mainstay of future negative teams. Debated Southwestern, Utah and Pasadena. Ural Johnson, Glendale ' s debate pride and joy, met Southwestern and Pasadena College. Changing to a different system of debating handicapped his early work, but constant work in extemporaneous speaking has brought about splendid results. Larry Powell opposed the University of California (Berkeley) in his first Occidental debate. Poise and a forceful manner of delivery were his strong points. Powell is expected to do some fine work next year. fi88 HOLLAND LEMBKE DORMAN DIXON GRAVES FREDRICKS JOHNSON Toshiro Shimanouchi, orator of Pasadena high s chool, entered the field of debate against Southwestern and Pasadena College. His oratorical ability has been decided and constructive speeches are his strongest point. Practice in rebuttal and Shimanouchi will be one of the best. During the past season Occidental met Pomona College, University of California (Berkeley), University of Southern California, Southwestern University (twice), Pasadena College (twice), Whittier College, and the University of Utah. •w hJL ffi8 9 J MR. J. S. PASHGIAN tPashgian Oratorical Qontest SINCE 1925 Mr. J. S. Pashgian of Pasadena has been donor of eighty-five dollars in cash for prises for the furtherance of oratorical interests in Occidental. This precedent was established in hope that an active interest in oratory would be stimulated, and the splendid results reveal the extent to which it has been successful. In 1925 the contest was won by Mr. Pashgian ' s daughter, Euphrates; in 1926 by Leon Dostert. Due to conflicting interests the contest was not held in 1927, but the extreme interest shown this year proves that last year ' s lay- off had no permanent deterring effect. Henry Shimanouchi as this year ' s winner with Dudley Dorman second, Thomas Mosly third, and Kenneth Holland, fourth. Mr. Pashgian attended this year ' s verbal tilt and said that in his estimation it was the best ever held at Occidental. For this reason he donated an additional ten dollars so that all con- testants winning places could be amply compen- sated. I190I Dramatics s I 191 1 TDheta Alpha Phi Rational Honorary Dramatic Fraternity ORGANIZED I92O OFFICERS Al Thomas President Florence MacLaughlin .... Vice-President James Bone Secretary-Treasurer MEMBERS George Juett Glenn Lembke Miss J. Turner A t 1 19 1 Occidental Dramatics OCCIDENTAL is favored with a large group of students who are actively interested in promoting and developing the dramatic side of college activi- ties. This interest is augmented by the proximity of several good theatres which give these students splendid opportunity to observe professional technique. Through the efforts of certain groups, dramatic productions are regularly sponsored. The foremost of the organisations, perhaps, is the Occidental Players. The Players are chosen from those students who are interested to try out before the membership committee of the club. At least one play a semester is produced by the Occidental Players. The Freshman Women present selections from a Shakespeare play, as one of the features of the May Day programme, assignments for which are given on a com- petitive basis. The third large group sponsoring a dramatic production is the Junior Class. This is usually a comedy, and is the interest of the entire class. The profes- sors of the Speech Education department are the directors of these group pro- ductions, and it is partly due to their assistance that Occidental dramatics have reached their present high standards. The latest, and perhaps one of the most promising, developments of campus dramatics is in the organisation of the Little Theatre. The directors are students and an effort is being made to encourage the production of student-written plays. Although directors and casts worked with improvised and restricted properties, the first presentations were highly satisfactory to those interested. Such student initiative protends a substantial gain for the dramatic talent of the campus. Dramatic Qouncil THE dramatic council of Occidental is a body of considerable importance. All programs of the students to which the public are invited must pass under the supervision of this body. By so scrutinising all Occidental programs the standard of productions is materially raised and finished programs thus guaran- teed. Miss Joyce Turner, professor of Dramatics at Occidental, was appointed faculty representative for 1928, by the Student Body president. Other members of the council are representatives elected from within their group, by each of the recognised dramatic societies. In addition to this, the senior class sends one of its members; as does the junior class, the men ' s glee club, the women ' s glee club, and the rally committee. The President of the Associated Students appoints the chair- man of the council. 1 193 1 Dramatics By Prof. Chas. F. Lindsley o CCIDENTAL dramatics as those of other colleges have the twofold purpose of training the players and educating the audience. Stu- dents need training m expression, the art of self expression before an audience; and the spectators, in turn, should learn appreciation and understanding. Creative self expression, the development and un- foldment of latent resources, the quickening and control of intellectual processes — these are the edu- cational ideals of dramatic study, from the stand- point of the student. One essential desire of human nature is to give expression to feelings and ideas. The outlet for this desire is afforded by dramatics for there are two dramatic processes in every dramatic interpretation: first, the assumption of a character different from one ' s own; and second, the revelation of that character by speech and actions. The process of expression must proceed from within outward; impression must be subsequent to expression. The study of literary interpretation is an important factor in character and personality develop- ment for it is a training in sympathy, understanding, and insight. College dramatic productions should educate the student audience. Then. is little analogy between the college theatre and the commercial stage. Box receipts are incidental, not paramount. This fact permits the producer to direct plays of literary and artistic merit, however this does not guarantee uninterestingnes?. To say that education has cultural value is to imply that education lifts people to higher levels of understanding and appreciation. Drama is the stuff of life , the very age and body of the time, the channel of ideas, the mirror of man ' s struggle with himself and his environment. Therefore, to teach an appreciation of drama as an art form and to reveal to the playgoer something of the deep and significant values of life is the function of dramatic study and effort. There is a growing interest in dramatic study and play production in the college. Semester performances by the Occidental Players, the Junior Class play, and a Shakespeare play given by the women of the freshman class constitute the annual program of the college ' s offering. A highly significant venture is the establishment of a little theatre on the campus in which members of the Occidental Players and class in play production will produce programs of one-act plays at regular intervals throughout the year. P I I94l WM g VvT( The Occidental flayers THE Occidental Players is an organization composed of thirty-one students of this college, whose ambition it is to further dramatic work at Occidental. This they do by either acting or helping stage the dramatic production presented each year by this organization. Unfortunately for the past few years of its existence, this organization has maintained in its members only a passive interest in its activities. The organization is now workin g, however, with the idea of build- ing up the Occidental Players into a live, talented group of students intensely interested in the drama, who will produce worth-while, enjoyable plays that will enhance the name of Occidental. As a means to this end, the Occidental Players have just recently adopted a Constitution which contains among its many provisions, requirements for en- trance which are much more severe than any used before, a clause that provides for the elimination for mactives, the limiting of membership, the establishing of a new method of choosing the plays to be produced by this group each year. By adherence to this Constitution, the organization hopes to insure a more select, interested group of members and a perpetual maintenance of a small, active organization. Also, by this Constitution, it is hoped that we will be able to present new enjoy- able plays of real dramatic value. The Occidental Players have been unfortunately handicapped in the past in several respects. First of all, the entrance requirements of the organization have been of so low a standard that it was comparatively easy to become a member, thus taking away a great deal from the prestige of the organi- zation. This has now been rectified. Also, as there was no other way to train and develop actors, our plays had to be of a type that would help those participating more than provide enjoyment for the audience. By the establishment of the Little Theatre at Occidental this condition has been relieved and now our plays can be chosen as much from the standpoint of the audience as of the players. It must not be inferred from the foregoing that our organization has been a failure this past year. We have produced with success two plays. The first, You and Y by Philip Barrie was presented during the fall term and was of a semi-popular vein; the other play, was Pillars of Society , a drama by Henrik Ibsen and was presented the middle of February this last year. The production was the most pretentious ever attempted by the Players and was brought to a successful con- clusion. The coming year will see two or three plays presented by the Occidental Players and we hope that with the aid of the newly aroused enthusiasm of the players, they will be even more successful than any given in the past. •«v -H 4 T ysv 195 lyle McAllister Chairman of Soph Stunts Soph Stunts SPOOKS and ghostly figures stalked the halls of Occidental on the night of October 27. It was the annual Hallowe ' en festival in Alumni Hall, the Soph Stunts , which are given every year by the Sophomore class. Lyle McAllister, president of the class of 1930, assisted by Lois Ellenberger, vice-president, took charge of the stunts. Everything was very well arranged and a large crowd attended the performance. The class of 1929 distinguished themselves by walking off with the first prize for their clever presentation of the one-act comedy, The Trysting Place 1 ' . The charac- ters participating in this play were: Leora Fuller, Ruth Shoemaker, Mary MacPhie, Art Brady, Elmer Jones, and James Bone. Joanna Paine directed this, the prize winning stunt. The spirit of fun held sway on the upper quad where the traditional class booths vied for honors. The Sophomores with Ye Soph Tavern were acclaimed the winners of first place. Another feature of the evening was the initial appearance oi the Glee Club Orchestra. This orchestra, which subsequently became the Occidental Growl- ers , played several numbers between the plays as well as in the upper quad during the intermission. 196 H T You and I HE initial presentation ot the Occidental Players was Philip Barry ' s You and I which was presented in the auditorium of the Eagle Rock High School on December 7. The play is a delightfully whimsical modern drama which tells of the sacrifice made by an artistic-souled business man, who determined that his son should not, as he had done before him, miss, for practical considerations, the goal of his heart ' s desire. It was a play well presented, and one in which the clever, finished work of the flayers held the attention to the very last. The parts were portrayed by well mown members of the Occidental Players and fine discrimination in the casting ent an unusual naturalness to the parts. The cast was: Veronica Duane Princess Booth Rodenc White Larry Powell Nflncy White Joanna Paine Maitland White George Juett Etta Marion Carr G. T. Warren William Condit Geoffrey Hichols James Bone -h t  7 V 197 Pillars of Society ' ON FEBRUARY 16, the Occidental Players made their second appearance of the year when they presented Pillars of Society ' ' by Henrik Ibsen in the new auditorium of the Franklin High School. The play is a serious social comedy set in a small Norwegian coast town. Through a complication of incidents in which the comic and the tragic are cleverly inter- mingled. Ibsen shows that social usefulness depends upon the veracity and in- tegrity of the individual. The cast, as chosen from the members of the Occidental Players , was:— Consul Bermc){ Robert Hastings Mrs. Bernic Frances Knudson Olaf Charles Haines Martha Bernic Mildred Pomeroy Johan Tonnesen Dudley Dorman Lona Hessel Fleda Brigham Hilmar Tonnesen Paul Newell Rector RorJund Willard Wilson Rummel Audell Dixon Vigeland Richard Booth Sanstad John McCauley Dma Dorf Margaret Cressaty Krofi Kenneth Bush Aiuie Alfred Thomas Mrs. Dr. Lynge Veloma Baer Mrs. Postmaster Holt Nellie Onstine Mrs. Rummel Lucy Buell 198 1 £ lC Ghe (Boomerang ON MARCH twenty-second and twenty-third The Boomerang , which was written by Winchell Smith and Victor Mapes, was most successfully presented by the members of the class of 1929. The second performance was given as a benefit for the sufferers in the Santa Paula Flood. The play very cleverly tells the story of the curing of the love-sick Bud Woodbridge by Dr. Sumner and also the development of this same disease in the doctor and Virginia Xelver, the office nurse. William Condit and Mary MacPhie were very well cast as the doctor and the nurse while Larry Powell gave an outstanding performance in the role of Bud Woodbridge with Ruth Shumaker as Grace Tyler, the cause of all his sorrow. The supporting cast included Jean Barr as Mrs. Woodbridge; Eva Morrow as Marion Sumner, the doctor ' s sister; Bob Donaldson as Preston DeWitt; Harold T. Jones as Emile, the French valet; Agnes Nohrnberg as Gertrude Ludlow; and Dick Clark as Hartley. Various members of the class took part in the second act as guests of the party. Miss Joyce Turner of the Occidental Dramatics department very ably directed the performance. •K V vnV. la Eitcina 1026 { [99 ] rsw A. W. S. Stunts THE third annual A.W.S. Stunt show was unanimously acclaimed the best the Associated Women have done. If the forthcoming shows are as good as the first three have been, these stunts should become one of the strongest Occidental traditions. Much praise is due this year ' s winners, the non-resident women who put on a stunt for the first time. Their skit was The Real Reason for all the excuses given by our fair co-eds for coming in late at the dorms or at home alter an evening with their campus heroes. The real reason was found to be not flat tires or empty gasoline tanks , but cupid himself. Orr Hall ' s act showed that the Freshman women have a true conception of the Occidental spirit, and well deserved the judges ' decision of second place. It was called O , and carried out the future division of the school; the scenery was especially well done. The Deltas gave a snappy number in blue, called Blue-land , showing the various types of blues endured by Oxy students. The Bluebook Blues proved to be the worst of the lot. College and the Collegians , the Zeta stunt, showed the contrast between the movie revelation of college life and the real thing. The Gammas followed with a cleverly costumed skit, called Boudoir Secrets . Milady ' s mirror, lamp-doll, and pooch were some of the members of her boudoir who revealed tender bits about her love affairs. Erdman Hall presented a musical number, Erdman Garden . The garden idea was enhanced by flower costumes worn by the participants. The Alpha was an original conception of Oxy Matriculation 2000 A. D. , foretelling in the doleful tones the fate of the poor applicant seeking entrance to our illustrious college a few years hence. Collegiate life and its different types was well portrayed by the Beta Phi skit, The Varsity Look-Inn and a radio loud speaker informed the audience of the prefess or, Study Hound , and collegiate types as they appeared. When Dreams Come True was the title of the Kappa skit. There were some extremely clever lines in it, and Pierrette and Pierrot lent a fitting atmosphere to the dream idea. Enthusiasm was kept at a high pitch during the intermission because of the booths made by the fraternities, these were located in the upper quad. All manner of drinks and eats were for sale, and there was keen competition among the groups for first place. The prize cup was awarded the Sigma fraternity, whose card house well deserved the honor. Peppy music was furnished between the acts by the Tiger Growlers . 200 •May Day ' Play B ESIDES the May Queen crowning ceremony it is an annual custom for the Freshman women to present, under the auspices of A.W.S. several Shake- spearean skits This year four have been chosen, the names and casts of which are: S V MIDSUMMER NIGHT ' S DREAM, ACT V, SCENE I Wall Gladys Cerl Pyramus ■ LuCY BuELL Thisbe Henrietta Houston Moon Virginia Rice Lion ..Emily Smith Battom Betty Merrill Prologue Muriel Carlson MERCHANT OF VENICE p ort j d Helen Peterson Jienssa Alice Kirkpatrick as you like it Orlando LouLA Parker Rosalind Betty Stewart ROMEO AND JULIET Romeo : Betty Hyde Juliet Hazel Gray I 20 1 X Occidental ' s Little Toheatre ORGANIZED to fill a definite demand for more intensive dramatic activity on the campus, the Occidental Little Theatre has in this first year of its existence assumed a definite place m college activities. It is an organization promoted and managed by students, uses only student talent in both technical and actual stage work, and so far as possible encourages the production of original plays. Through the cooperation of the administration, the theatre has the use of a small but workable stage, equipped with lights and a full set of drapes. The first performance given this year consisted of a group of three one act plays; a fantasy, Manikin and Minikin : a poetic tragedy of the French Revolution, The Minuet , and a light American comedy, Thursday Evening , by Christo- pher Morley. The plays were smoothly and capably presented, and were well received by an audience which sat and shivered in an icy, open auditorium — and yet could clap gloved hands! With such cooperation in the interest of good drama, the Little Theatre can not fail to make progress. It is not the intention of its participants to make the Little Theatre primarily an amusement feature, although the plays presented are chosen with that in mind. The Little Theatre is already assuming the aspect of a dramatic workshop; a place where students with dramatic interests may develop and intensify those interests under the capable guidance of the Speech Education department. Equipment, which at first was meager, is being acquired as the organization progresses. And eventually we expect the Occidental Little Theatre to do work which shall be worthy of more than local interest. The Play ' s the thing, said a great man; and the Little Theatre is in existence that students may exemplify their belief in that maxim. 202 Music 203 PROF. WALTER E. HARTLEY Head of Occidental ' s Department of Music VYCusic at Occidental A SCANT two years ago the trustees of Occidental College called into being the department of Music, an expression ot their belief that music is an essential part of a liberal education. The department exists to advance the interest, the appreciation, and the expression of this art among the students of the institution, and in the surrounding community as far as facilities will allow. The college counted itself particularly fortunate in securing Walter Earle Hartley to head the department. He received his A.B. from Yale University in 1908 and Mus. Bac. m 1910. There followed a year with Widor in France. Mr. Hartley is a Fellow in the American Guild of Organists, and is the present Dean of the local Chapter. He is also Organist-Director with the First Methodist Church of Pasadena. As a recitalist and teacher he is well-known throughout Southern California, having pioneered and built up the organ department at Pomona College in a service of more than ten years. Assisting Professor Hartley is one of the finest group of teachers for college work to be found anywhere. Each one represents that combination, too rarely found, of artist and teacher, which is the firm assurance to a student that his needs will be understood and met. Edith D. Hartley, soloist with the First Congregational Church of Pasadena, is gifted with a charming soprano voice of fine training. Among her teachers are Grace Dudley Fenton of Chicago, Hubert Linscot of New York, and more recently, Louis Graveure. ft 204 Winifred Hooke is a concert pianist known throughout the west for her ability and for her active interest in contemporary music; she is one of the leaders in this field. She is a graduate and Licentiate of the Royal Academy, London, and studied many years abroad, chiefly with Richard Buhlig in Munich and Berlin. Miss Helen F. Young was for many years the head of Piano at Sweetbriar College, as well as director of the Music Department there, and brings with her a remark- able record of successful work and of understanding cooperation with academic ideals. Amandus Zoellner is known internationally through his work with the famous Zoellner Quartet, and as a teacher of violin he is known as favorably and almost as widely. In fulfillment of the purposes for which the department was created, its work centers first around the instruction of students, individually and in class, in the Music House as temporary home until the new Music Building is erected. In this laboratory a student may major in his music work, stressing either composition or performance, the vital essential being the production of artistic results. The work of the department next concerns itself with all musical activities and organizations on the campus desiring its help. Many interesting programs have been given throughout the year during chapel and assembly periods, the most notable at Christmas-tide. Students themselves have participated frequently, bene- fiting by the opportunity for wider experience. The department has also presented a number of faculty and outside recitals during the year to which are invited the outside community, the alumni and friends, as well as students. Often the visiting artists are glad to be presented to students at informal receptions following the recital, thus offering personal contacts of unusual helpfulness. The department undertakes the handling of tickets for the many courses of musical events downtown, including the symphony series, and frequently offers reduced rates to many of the finest attractions listed each season. Both the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs are allied with the department, the former being listed this semester in the Ensemble Classes and earning credits for the work done, as well as profiting by the class study in Voice. Rehearsals are starting, as La Encina goes to the press, for the operetta, The Pirates of Penzance, which will be put on by the two glee clubs and assisting students, under the joint supervision of the Music Department and the Depart- ment of Speech Education. The presentation is planned for the Greek Bowl in late May. With the opportunities which this beautiful amphitheatre lends to the musical atmosphere, and the fertile field of Southern California from which to draw artists and students, the Music Department looks forward to a most promising future. 205 Women s Glee Qlub THIS year has been one of great importance for the Occidental Women ' s Glee Club. About half of the club is made up of new members who have worked hard and through whose cooperation a great deal has been accom- plished. Programs have been given throughout the entire year under their direction, the following are some of the more important ones. On November 30, 1927, at the San Gabriel Masonic Club they presented their first concert. A Christmas program including several Christmas Carols and Christmas Bells was given at the Eagle Rock High School on December 13, 1927. The next morning the Women ' s Glee Club in conjunction with the Men ' s Glee Club and assisted by Mrs. Walter Hartley, soloist, made their initial appearance for the Occidental Student Body with a very interesting Christmas Program. Sunday evening, February 19, 1928, the group furnished the music for the Union Church at San Dimas with several chorus numbers. On the morning of February 24, 1928, they presented a very attractive program to the men at Cal-Tech. This included a football skit in which Anita Sirrionson, Anna Mohoney, Alice Evans, and Princess Booth took part and a Co-ed Stunt in which the characters were Josephine Peairs and Muriel Carlson. This was followed by an enjoyable time for the club when the women were entertained for luncheon at the various fraternity houses on the Campus. On March 16 they made their annual trip to Hollenbeck Park where they enter- tained the old folks with an enjoyable program. These people under Dr. Young, secretary oi the Board of Trustees, look forward to the coming of these young people and appreciate their interest in them. Following the program there was a social hour. The Home Concert was held in Alumni Hall April 26, and was proclaimed a great success. On May 6, 1928, they presented a Musical program at the Presbyterian Church of Long Beach, and a week later they gave a similar program at the Santa Ana Presbyterian Church. The closing work for the group for the year was on May 10, when, under the auspices of the Occidental Women ' s Glee Club the Cal-Tech Glee Club presented a program to the Occidental Student Body and afterwards were entertained at lunch by the club.

Second semester marked the inauguration of a new system in the Glee Club work at Oxy and for the first time the Glee Club is a scheduled class, meeting at regular hours. Along with the regular club activities, the course includes weekly coaching in voice from Mrs. Walter Hartley. Included in the itinerary of the men ' s organisation this season are : Optimists Club at the Biltmore Hotel Glendale Union High School hollenbeck home Calvary Presbyterian Church at Pasadena San Diego High School Eagle Rock High School The members of the club are also looking forward to a trip to San Diego during the Easter Holidays. April 3, 1928, marked the annual Home Concert in the Greek Bowl at Occidental. The Tiger Quartet, composed of Count Harold Jones, tenor; Jim Morse, second tenor; Eric Bradner, baritone; and Dwight Spencer, bass, has already received more bids for engagements than they can take care of. These boys have appeared on most of the programs with the club and are always well received. Both quartet and Glee Club are under the very able direction of Walter E. Hartley, head of the Music Department at Occidental. Mr. Hartley has brought this vital organization in the school through a successful season in face of the worst kind of opposition, indifference, and he deserves lots of credit. 208 1 If j - : ■ m m . m Hill . 1 1 1 - i 1 • 1 1 • — s aJ 1 H k .

The talent to be presented will be furnished by both the Departments of Music and that of Dramatics. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hartley are in charge of the musical score of the production, and Professor Charles F. Lindsley will furnish the dramatic end of the combination. It is hoped, by those who are interested in the cultural advancement of the college, that the production of some opera or other form of gathering will each year take place in the Bowl, during Commencement Week, for the Bowl is so ideally located for almost any type of production.

With Larry Powell, at the piano; Kenneth Holland, second tenor saxophone; Al Clme, third alto saxophone; Newman Borden, first alto saxophone; and being one of the most representative groups of the college activities and college life that is to be found, this organisation received a big ovation at all of the Booster programs given; especially those at the Glendale and Franklin high schools. The Exchange program with Pomona also featured these syncopating Melody Weavers.

Traveling to distant cities, they have presented musical numbers of unique excellence. The quartette was formed at the beginning of the school year with John Bell as bass, but due to illness his place was filled by Dwight Spencer, one of the leading basses of the Glee Club. Under the supervision and training of Prof. Hartley, the four voices blended into a harmonious quartette. With specialised vocal training from Mrs. Hartley the development was rapid, and the Quartette presented pro- grams which were most enjoyable as well as entertaining. The repertoire of the singers consisted of varied and novel numbers such as darky spirituals, old southern melodies, Indian lullabies, popular numbers, and lighter encores. The Tiger Four also appeared with the Glee Club in their regular concerts and participated in numerous booster programs sponsored by Occidental. Although three of the members are graduating this year the college hopes that the Occidental Quartette may continue to be a worthwhile factor in carrying on the good work done by this year ' s Tiger Four. :I2 (publications 213 Foreword ' V TO other medium for student expres ' J _ Sl0n ls as predominant in under ' graduate life as is the medium of the printed page.

I 214! BOOTH BONE The Occidental NO COLLEGE is complete without some organ which performs the function of a newspaper, nor has The Occidental failed to do its share in providing this particular endeavor in school activities at Occidental College. Occi- dental can truly boast of a weekly paper as being of the will of its students, created by their own efforts, and maintained for their own benefit. By the splendid attitude of the various editors and those vitally interested in this enterprise, it has reached a position of prominence in the realm of student publications. Under the guidance of James Bone, Editor-in-chief during the second semester of the school year 1926-27 and the first semester of the following school year, the paper has carried even a higher quality of literature than before as well as other improvements and additions. Mr. Bone and his staff have succeeded royally in stamping their mark of development and achievement most indelibly on the enter ' prise, as has been the endeavor of each editor in turn. In addition to successful management, Mr. Bone has been the author of many worthy and brilliant edi- torials. The mark set for the incoming Occidental staff is a lofty one, however, the in- coming editor-in-chief, Harold E. Jones with his staff seem in good stead of attaining this standard. The dream that has long occupied the minds of Occidental editors of the past, namely that of increasing the number of issues to two per week, will undoubtedly be realized in the next year. The growth of the college has brought this need to a clear focus. After the obstacles that lie before such a move have been overcome, the students will find themselves provided with more timely news and more to their liking. The future seems to hold a great deal in store for The Occidental and it is with an anxious eye that the students will await the forthcoming attainments. anxio -vd !

It was an endeavor sponsored by the press club to bring before the students the literary efforts of the college as seen in the writers 1 club. Alumni of the organization as well as immediate members were invited to contribute; the result was a variety of poems, stories, and essays. Among the contributors, the staff was pleased to include a poem by Robinson Jeffers, well known California poet who is a graduate of Occidental. His contri ' bution Contrast was used as the leading page. In general, the quality of the verse in the publication is considered superior to that of the prose because of variety in construction and style. In view of the welcome Sabretooth received, it is the plan of the press club to present a similar publication for the approval of the student body once each semester, following the conservative structure of this year ' s magazine. Also an endeavor will be made to incorporate a greater part of the work of the various students of the campus m order to make the publication represent more accurately the entire literary interest of the college. More than anything else, the Sabretooth was an attempt to reestablish an old worth tradition of Occidental. Since the magazine was, aside from its literary merit and commendable makeup, a financial success, the Press Club may be proud to present the Sabretooth as one of the achievements of the school year. •K STAFF Christine Drummond Editor Elizabeth Fisher .... Associated Editor V 217 1 Edward A. K. Hackett Editor 1928 La Enana A Different La Encina WITH the publication ot La Encina for 1928 there comes to the field of col- lege annuals a new trend which must not be denied. As far as is known, and an extensive survey has been made, no other college yearbook has ever been published in the futuristic motif, and La Encina claims to be unique in this respect. The secret of the theme to be carried out in the current Occidental annual has been guarded diligent- ly, only the chiefs of staff having any knowledge of its nature. The entire book has been carried out in the futuristic idea, even to the end sheets and cover. An attempt has been made m every department ot the publication to abstain from the use of conventional ideas and traditions known of old to the profession of book- making, and violent have been the protests from some of the old masters of the art who have made dire predictions concerning the outcome of La Encina in this new and strictly unconventional dress. Many and diverse have been the rumors circulated around the Occidental campus as to the nature of the current edition of La Encina. In tact, the yearbook has been charged with carrying out nearly every conceivable motif by zealous reporters of the press who sought to emblazon the annual with unsought advance publicity. The date of publication of La Encina is another radical departure from convention. Heretofore the college annual has been accustomed to appear just a few days prior to commencement, but La Encina for 1928 is m the hands of its readers approxi- mately a month ahead of the usual time- just another way of being a bit different. Mary Barbara Taylor Associate Editor I 218 J Dwight F. Spencer Manager 1928 La Encina Tdo a (Deserving Staff % - WITH the publication of La Encina for 1928 the work of a deserving staff is at an end. Many and hard have been the months spent in preparing the annual — the climb has been uphill most of the way, with pitfalls and obstacles uncountable to hinder progress. Were it not for the integrity and in- satiable seal of the staff, long ago would the passage have become insurmountable. Eleven months have passed since the first inception of the book — eleven months of steady, definite, fixed, unceasing work. To the associate editor of La Encina, Mary Barbara Taylor, goes the greatest of thanks. Early in the morning, or into the late hours of night, Mary B. has ever been ready to lend a willing hand when necessary, diverse though the duties be, or diffi- cult the task. Her personality has become firmly imbedded in the pages of this book. Richard Booth, the assistant editor, has been a constant aid in the publication of La Encina for 1928. Through many long, tiring months he has labored in the com ' pilation of matter and pictures which go to make up these pages, and it is to him that a large part of the credit for the success of the current annual should be attributed. To each member of the staff who has contributed to the making of this most unusual La Encina, to each person who has in any way added a small bit to its pages, to each member of the Occidental family who has cooperated in any small way, — to each of these go the thanks of the editor. Special mention and credit is due to John Love, sports editor, and to Gracia Marsh, organization ' s editor, who have each had gigantic tasks in their respective posi- tions, and who have contributed materially to the annual in these respects.

Within its covers the new student may find information about Occidental, its organizations, traditions, and freshmen regulations that will prove enlightening and valuable. Every phase of campus life from social fraternities to a prospectus of major and minor sports for the coming season is given in the Frosh Bible. Not only does this publication serve the freshmen, but the upperclassmen as well for it publishes a complete list of student committees and their latest memberships, besides in- cluding all the newly elected officers of the organizations. Last year the Handboo made its initial appearance under the auspices of the Associated Students. Previously it had been published as a joint product of the two college Y organizations. The 1927-28 manual was marked by its compre- hensive treatment of college activities which were included m its various sections under publications. Several new features never before attempted in publication were fully organized. Most of the expenditure for the past publication was met by rates charged to current advertisers. Esther Earl has been appointed editor of the 1928-29 Frosh Bible that will be issued on the campus during the first few days of school next September. Miss Earl, who was associate editor of this publication last year, has included in her newly appointed staff, Wayne Hackett, William Bogen, and Harold E. Jones who will edit its different sections. The staff for the 1927-28 Handboo was as follows: Harold E. Jones Editor Esther Earl Assistant Editor Frances Roblee Associate Editor f 222I 1 1 1 1 BONE LUM Sawney Kat THE Tawney Kat, Occidental ' s humor publication made its initial appearance of the year at the U.C.L.A. game. The second edition was published Dec. i st. Both of these issues were presented under the editorship of Dwight T. Spencer, one of the founders of the magazine, and Norman Martin w T ho served in the capacity of Business Manager. On January 22nd the Executive Committee of the student body purchased the publication from these two men who represented the Tawney Kat Publishing Co. With this move the magazine became an official student publication. James Bone, former Editor of the Occidental was appointed as editor and manager of the publication. Organizing the staff into a group known as Hammer and Tongs, the work of presenting the publication has been greatly enhanced. The new staff edited two issues during the second semester making a total of four appearances for the year past. Tawney Kat is affiliated with the College Humor group and grants exclusive reprint rights to that magazine. The staff functioning under the new editorship is : James Bone Editor Dorothy Lum Art Editor Frank Winfield Ruth Shumaker associate editors Olive Gibbs Gracia Marsh Robert Hastings Bill Cottrell U I 22 3 J CAMPUS ORGANI- ZATIONS Fraternities.

Members of the club show marked improvement in conversation and ready understanding of modern French, and the meetings are well attended. Those students who, after one year of college French, have shown marked ability and enthusiasm, are recommended by the professors and invited to join the club. The meetings are devoted to conversation and the study of the latest literature and conditions of France. The common idea that those who learn a modern language in the schools cannot speak it with the proper intonation and accent, and can always be singled out from others who have had the advantage of becoming familiar with it in France, is refuted here at Occidental, for Professor Nivon, a native of France, is a member of the faculty and attends the meetings of the club regularly. With his aid, the con- versation and ability of the French-speaking students is greatly facilitated, and correct French more easily learned. OFFICERS Josephine Peairs President Frances Moore Vice-President Bernice Ludlow Secretary Evelyn Maxson Treasurer •K ■H+A 33 Los beards THE Spanish Club at Occidental is composed of those students of Spanish who have completed two college years of the language and are considered by the professors and members of the club to be far enough advanced and interested in the Spanish language to such an extent that they would be worthy members of the club. The meetings are devoted to Spanish conversation and the study of modern literature and conditions of Spam. A high degree of proficiency is attained by most of the members in this language, for only those who are the best students are admitted to membership, thus maintaining the high standard of the club. Before 1927 a club called £1 Circulo Esjpanol took the place of Los Picaras, to which anyone who was taking Spanish might belong. In 1927, however, the old club was abandoned, and the new organized on a more efficient and restrictive plan, and has since been progressing rapidly. 34 Olympic Games Drivc A LITTLE table with various foods resided in the front corridor of Johnson Hall; sometimes apples, sometimes fudge, sometimes bananas, sandwiches, or candy bars. This was one of the most successful means that the Olympic Committee had for raising money for the Olympic fund. Hannah Jane Barrett and Edward Hackett composed the Occidental committee for collecting money to help finance the Olympics. On March 31a carnival was given in the Alumni Gymnasium, the proceeds being added to the Olympic funds. Inside the gymnasium the Occidental Growlers orchestra played for dancing. Many favors, balloons, whistles, and other things typical of carnivals were given out. Booths with many kinds of food and toys for sale were placed behind the building where everyone congregated between and even during dances. One of the most popular features were the games of chance which proved very successful financially. Ginger Ale and candy for this affair were given by the various business men in sympathy with the Olympic Drive. Women of A.W.S. made fudge and sandwiches for the fund. They conducted food sales on campus, in addition to those directly held by the committee. Besides this bottles with open tops were placed in prominent positions so that people could donate small sums. Both these sources provided considerable revenue. The Occidental Committee worked untiringly and carried almost the whole of the work themselves, unassisted by sub-groups. • I 235 Diverse and interesting are the conversations which arise from small groups clustered about the Boo Store, and from par ed cars where the undergraduates are inclined to spend their free time between classes. 236 •w 237 } Once Were T3he.se ORGANIZATIONS flourish and thrive tor a time, and then die — for lack of interest or for lack of material — for lack of that inspiring spark which gives to all things the life and vigor which are necessary for fulfillment and fruition. On the campus of Occidental many years ago — just after the World War, to be exact — there was organized a Rifle Club, which grew and flourished enthus- iastically until the echo of the great strife had passed into the distance. Until 1926 the members practiced their wardike interests with materials furnished by the federal government, but at that time the organization died, tor the attention of those who had participated in it was turned elsewhere to more peaceful pursuits, more becoming in students of an institution which deplored war, and hoped to see the end of all such strife. Not so long ago an organization called the Tiger Forum also belonged on this campus. Its purpose was to meet and discuss campus and civic affairs, and try to encourage college spirit on the campus. This also has vanished over the horizon of college life, but many still remember, though most have forgotten that these now defunct organizations were once an integral part of Occidental life. K238J Fraternities 239 Living (Conditions at Occidental STUDENTS at Occidental College for the most part are housed in the three dormitories on the campus or in the thirteen fraternity and sorority houses located adjacent to the college environs. Swan Hall, the residence tor men on the campus, and Orr and Erdman Halls, residences tor women, form the center ot campus social life, while the off-campus social groups all have their own places of residence. Occidental ' s three dormitories are halls of which she should be justly proud. Erdman Hall is the newest of the three, and includes every modern convenience known to architects for the comfort of those m residence there. Orr Hall is adjacent to Erdman, and forms the other unit for the housing of the women students on the campus. This latter structure is devoted exclusively to the housing of freshman women, while Erdman Hall is used as a dwelling by sophomores and upperclass women. James Swan Hall accommodates the men who wish to live on the campus, and is the social center for men ' s activities on the campus at present. About one hundred and ten women are in residence m the two women ' s dormitories, and about thirty-five men live in Swan Hall, the third dormitory. Thirteen social groups maintain living quarters in the immediate vicinity for the use of their members. These fraternities and sororities for the most part are serving three meals a day for those who live in the houses, and they are all run on a very business-like scale. All of these organised living groups are under the direct jurisdiction of the college administration, and the women ' s organisations each have a house mother who is approved by the dean ot women. The fraternity and sorority houses are all strategic centers in the social life of the Occidental students, and many lovely affairs are held in each one during the year. Besides these two classes of organised groups, there are several houses near the campus where students live unorganised, and yet are closely in touch with the pulse of the college by their very proximity. These residences are listed with the college administration, and suggestions are given to new students as to where they would doubtless secure a comfortable living apartment. About one half of the student body is now in residence either on or near the cam- pus. Those who have to live elsewhere commute m various ways, street cars and bus lines being near the campus, and excellent roads leading to it from all directions.

((Ground is soon to be broken for the construction of the great new Stu- dent Union building on the present Occidental campus. This building is to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 1928. ((Half a million dollars has been pledged for the erection of a magnificent Chapel on the Eagle Rock campus, and plans are underway for the completion of the Men ' s Gymnasium unit and swimming pool. ((Vast sums have been pledged for the new Occidental for Men, and definite announcements as to the time of construction on the new site are expected to be made in the immedi- ate future. ((Changes are planned in the Associated Students ' constitution which will provide for a greater union of the undergraduates, and for a far greater regime of the students than has hitherto been known to Occidental. ((New instructors are to be added to the faculty, which will bring about an even stronger personnel in the professorial ranks than is now apparent. ((New and broader athletic relations are to be fostered by Occidental, meaning more publicity and a consequent wider constituency. Hopes are held for several championship teams for the coming year.

That ' s the trouble with a habit one never realizes that he has it until the time comes when the habit becomes a liability rather than an asset. I feel somewhat as Thomas De Quincey must have felt when he came to the point where he realized that he must give up the use of opium. But yet I know that to abstain from this unmentionable practice of mine would be far harder to endure than the most unheard of tortures of hell were it continued. Yet what am I to do? If I keep on with such a habit it will conquer not only my body, but my soul as well; and if I choose to give it up — to abstain from that which gives me more delight than any other earthly pleasure — it would cause me such diabolic agony that I could not endure the ensuing pains and heart-quakes. I know that I must do something — and that at once- -to break myself of this terrible habit which is daily becoming more and more fixed; for I know all too well that Small habits well pursued betimes May reach the dignity of crimes , and who wants to commit a crime, even though a dignified one. I can see no way clear for myself but to give up my habit. But it is surely going to be mighty tough for me to stop whistling while in the bath tub. 258 1 Jin Interrupted Qigar By Willard Wilson PATROLMAN GEORGE BRONSON stood within the dark recesses of a store entrance and puffed contentedly on a surreptitious cigar. A member of the Los Angeles police force is not allowed to smoke while on duty, but it is fairly safe at night, late, when the streets are deserted. As he smoked he philoso- phized gently. Gosh, this is sure a hell of a beat! 11 Through the pall of fragrant smoke he gazed out at the Plaza, dark, tree-shaded beneath the warm flicker of summer moonlight. Across the square glimmered through the trees a few sickly blobs of light around the entrance to the Teatro National 11 but Bronson knew that the place was deserted. Those lights were left all night as a protest against robbery. Robbery! Bronson grinned at the thought. Nothing worth taking around that dirty joint ! The Plaza itself was quiet. From the limbs of the trees came an occasional drowsy twittering as a draggled bird nudged its mate or was brushed by a swaying twig. Pff! Bronson spurted out the smoke m a delicious stream. Nice things, cigars. His roving eyes picked out two figures moving slowly at one corner ot the Plaza, a man and a woman. He could hear the low murmur of their voices — the drawling liquid sound of Spanish accent. A change. The woman ' s voice became shrill, louder, harsh with passion. The man laughed mockingly. Reluctantly Bronson thumped the fire from his cigar and placed it tenderly in his pocket. He ' d have to be rambling over there before something happened. Crossing the street he stepped over the low fence to the grass and strolled leisurely in the direction of the couple. He could hear their voices plainly now — the man ' s low and sneering, the woman ' s with that high note of passion in it. He could not understand them. Spanish was not one of his accomplishments. The woman was gesticulating wildly, the moonlight filtering through the trees and spangling her face in a kind of ghastly checkerwork. The man laughed again - that contemptuous, mocking laugh. With a sudden convulsive jerk Bronson leaped forward. The woman had drawn back her arm and then shot it torth again, with the motion of a cobra ' s head striking. There had been a wicked glint of light from a thin sliver of steel in her hand. My God! muttered Bronson and leaped for- ward. Before Bronson could reach them the man staggered back drunkenly, then screamed once, a scream that choked off in his throat with a horrid gurgling sound! Bronson had a glimpse of the woman ' s face, distorted, twisted with fury, as he bent over the man who lay half on his face. Quickly he slid an arm under the man ' s body and turned him over onto his back. The dagger still protruded from the breast. There was a bit of blood On the man ' s lips. Madre de Dios! he whispered. Madre de — Dios! — and was still. 1 59 Bronson looked up at the girl who crouched over him, she was a tall, full-bosomed creature; hair black as night, her profile classic and fierce in its beauty. As she stood now, her white teeth were bared in a snarling grimace of hatred. Damn heem! she said. God damn heem! Well, you ' ve sure pulled yourself into a fine mess this time, Gertie, said Bronson. He spoke familiarly. Everyone on the force who was detailed to the Plaza section knew Gertie and her occupation: it was tacitly understood that so long as she made no advances to the white male population she was to be allowed to ply her ancient trade unmolested. Bronson grinned up at her with a suspicion of a leer. What ' s the matter, Gert? Did he try to get fresh with you? She looked past him at the figure on the ground. Damn heem! she snarled. Um. Seems like I ' ve heard that before, grunted Bronson, rising. Well, guess we ' ll have to be reporting. He looked down at the man on the ground. He was a Mexican, dressed as a dandy, hair greasily sleek, face bleached almost white from unhealthy habits. Bronson recognized him as a man they had been warned to watch, a suspected alien smuggler. Suddenly Gertie, sobbing wildly, threw herself on her knees beside the body of the man. She pressed her lips to his face — then jerked back. Looked piteously up at Bronson. I have keel heem! she cried brokenly. Quendo mio! She drew his head up into her lap, caressed his face tenderly. Her eyes were streaming. What the hell? said Bronson, amazed. Didn ' t you just get through sticking him? I have keel heem! she moaned. - You bet! agreed Bronson. What ' d you do it for? I love heem! she explained, then bent back over the face in her lap, crooning brokenly. Querido mio! Well, I ' m damned! said Bronson. You greasers have me licked! What ' s the idea of killing him if you love him, eh ? Puzzling over the problem he stalked solemnly off to the police patrol box placed on the corner in front of the old Mexican church. He had no fear that Gertie would try to escape while he was making his report. Leisurely he inserted his key in the box, opened the door, took the receiver from the hook. Funny thing Oh, hello Joe. This is Bronson. Say, there ' s a Mexican sport been stabbed over here by that greaser hag Gertie that hangs around the Plaza. Send down an 260 J ambulance and the patrol wagon, will you? — Eh? Oh, no. No special hurry about it. He ' s as dead as he ' ll ever be. — Why ' d she do it? Lord, I dunno. She says she loved him. Can you beat that? — Yeh, pick ' em up at the southeast corner of the Plasa. S long. Still turning over the problem of the inscrutable workings of love he walked back to where he had left the two. The man lay where Bronson had last seen him, and beside him lay the woman. Her tawdry dress of scarlet cloth was slit open down the front leaving naked one of her voluptuously modeled breasts, — the breast of a bronze Juno ! From it protruded, with scarcely a drop of blood showing around the incision, the handle of the slender dagger with which she had stabbed her lover. She was quite dead. Bronson caught his breath as he took in the spectacle. God! he murmured, awed, What d ' you know about that! He sat down gingerly on a bench to await the coming of the ambulance. By the dim light of the corner lamp he made out his report, concentrating deeply upon the spelling of the words while beside him sprawled those two bodies with their rigid faces and staring eyes. Once he glanced at them, and shuddered. Love! he muttered. God almighty! The ambulance came and went, clanging sullenly away down Main street with its sad burden. Patrolman Bronson shook himself, grinned, and walked back across the street to his dark store entrance. He fumbled in his pocket and then brought out the half-smoked cigar. He mouthed tenderly the soggy end of it while he felt about in another pocket for a match. A match snapped and his face shone in the flickering light for a moment, very red and peaceful. He spewed the fragrant smoke out between his lips in a thin, com- placent stream. Nice things, cigars! Gosh ! he murmured drowsily. This is sure a hell of a beat ! •K V v-KA. 1928 I261I -hJL QUATRAIX What means your light spontaneous smile And rippling laughter? Are they a guile Of what, mayhap, is coming after?

San Francisco Theological Seminary LOCATED AT SAN ANSELMO, CALIFORNIA To the Friends of San Francisco Seminary A study of the curriculum of San Francisco Theological Seminary and a knowledge of the men who are making this curriculum effective, indicate that the Seminary students are receiving training and inspiration which will equip them for the important tasks that confront the modern minister. This training is both scholarly and practical; evangelistic and sociological; spiritual and ethical. Every professor in the Seminary has himself faced the problems of the preacher — and successfully met them. Our Graduates are in nineteen Synods in the United States and in sixteen foreign lands. The Seminary already has a good equipment. It is already doing a splendid piece of work. But the necessary additional support for which it asks will greatly increase its usefulness and general effectiveness. And just now, as it is getting ready for a second half century of work and training, this school of the prophets appeals to its friends to stand by and give it the chance to serve humanity, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
