If. ' LA ENCINA 1929 A OESTWARD the star of empire ta es yy y its way . Out of the mysterious en- chantment of the East has come the splendor of Western achievement. Down through the path ' way of centuries men have set their courses west ' ward, caught glimpses of new horizons, visioned greater and farther distant goals, and have pat ' terned for themselves a happier and more whole ' some livelihood. The seed of wisdom, ta ing root in the ancient East, and nourished with the elixir of human perseverance, has blossomed forth into the intricacies of modern culture. A LAS, the stupendous cycle is complete. To ' ' ji3 day the Occident stands face to face with the Orient. West meets East, ready to pass the baton of modern achievement to the next runner in the eternal race of time. The J ew gives of its best that the Old may live again. V estward across a mighty ocean goes the stirring mes ' sage, Carry on, Carry on . Ever following the setting sun achievement ta es its course. So it is that peoples strive, excel, then are surpassed in the endless fashioning of human progress.

Li T ' Ai-Po Admimistratiom n Dr. Remsen Du Bois Bird President of the College A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT J AT RIOT ISM as such is neither good nor bad, says Dr. Rosanof. The Moral value of it is its direction. Does it lead out to humanity or into selfishness ' ! Here is to be found its excellence or its evil. So is it with many other emotional accomplishments to our striv- ing. So is it with college spirit for example; perchance even with the college itself. In estimating the year that is passing there should be comparison and a noting of direction, a plotting of the curve and an estimate of its speed. Has Occidental moved, during the year, forward in ac- cordance with its professions and its purposes? I think, these questions may he answered honestly in the affirma- tive and not only of ourselves, hut as they may apply, in a measure, to the whole college world. Some even say that there is a coming of age of College America and signs of a great tntellecttial awakening. Students are reading and not despised for that activity. Intellectual conversations, artfulness in thin ing, and a kind of quietness and maturity are characteristics of college campuses that have not been outstanding mar s of many a yesterday. From the closer observation of faculty members and student officers and from the occasional comments coming to this office, I thin we may truly declare that these changes are to he noted here, and that the direction is truly within the frame of the college ideals and outward to a better understanding, to appreciation and devotion.

Burt, Dean of the Faculty, is in contact with the students as profes ' sor of logic as well as through his activities on various committees of the Faculty. He serves on the Student Conduct and Scholarship, Admissions and Classifications, and Faculty Committees, as well as being on the Ad ' visory Council. He is Sec- retary of the Delta Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. For twenty years he has actively taken part in the realization of a Greater Occidental. Irene T. Myers has been serving Occiden- tal for twelve years as Dean of Women. She is a member of the Advisory Coun- cil and is Chairman of the Social Council which was organized to bring tO ' gether those who are leaders in extra-cur- ricular activities and who deal with the social hfe of the campus. Perhaps her chief interest this year has been to connect the curriculum with occupational oppor ' tunities for women students. Arthur G. Coons, in the capacity of Executive Sec- retary to President Bird, handles student administra- tive affairs. He is a member of the Social Council, Em- ployment Committee, and Athletic Committee. Hav- ing graduated from Occi- dental in 1920 it is felt that he very well represents the students ' point of view. Dr. Coons is acting head of the Economics Department. [36} s Robert G. Cleland, Dean of Men and Vice-President of Occidental College, is well liked as a friend of all students. His interest in individuals draws him into the administrative and pol- icyforming functions of the faculty. He serves on the Advisory, Honorary Degrees, Curriculum, and Scholarship Committees, as well as being a member of the Board of Trustees. Dr. Cleland is an alumnus of Occidental, and is an active creator of the plans for the new campus. Fred McLain, Comptroller of Occidental College, is active on all of the committees pertaining to the financial management of the institution. It is largely due to his administration that the dining hall operat- ed in connection with the college has been given a sound financial basis. Mr. McLain graduated from Occidental and has always been actively interested in it. Lowell J. Chawner, Registrar, has under his charge all of the academic records of the college. He is Chairman of the Admissions and Clas- sifications Committee, as well as the Schedule Com- mittee. Besides his capacity as Registrar, he is Assistant Professor of Economics. Mr. Chawner also graduat- ed from Occidental, and since that time his interests have been entirely directed toward the welfare of the college. r 1-7 1 THE FACULTY O: NE hears much of the various athletic pursuits of a college, and a great deal about the social life, but rarely does one hear about that most important part of a college, the faculty. Occidental is fortunate in having a faculty to which it may justly point with pride. It is a good faculty, one of the best in the country in fact. Not only are its members well-known locally, but the names of many of its members appeared in the last issue of Who ' s Who in America. Besides those who have gained recognition through writing books and articles, there are those who are in constant demand as speak ' ers. One professor is now in China studying the economic situation there; another is a prominent member of the Los Angeles City Council and for some time was Acting ' Mayor of the city. In the English department there are two professors who are equally well known; one as a Shake sperian authority, and the other as an authority on Dr. Johnson, that admirable character of the eighteenth century. Another professor has [38] © spent a number of years in Persia and other countries in the consular serv ice of the United States, and another is considered an authority on the subject of Mexican history. Thus it is evident that Occidental ' s faculty is not interested alone in the college and its work, but in other affairs as well. Fifteen members of the faculty are members of Phi Beta Kappa. This very fact indicates that instruction at the college is given by men and women who have attained distinction in their particular profession. The championship teams which Occidental is proud to claim could have done little had it not been for the coaching staff, that integral part of the faculty that urges the teams on to victory and at the same time develops that spirit of fair play which is characteristic of Occidental. The close bond of friendship that exists between the faculty and the students has given rise to the now common expression, The Occidental Family. [39} AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS T, HE American Association of University Professors, with central offices in Washington, D. C, was founded in New York City in 1913. It now includes nearly 6,900 members from 279 universities and colleges. The objects of the asso- ciation are to facilitate a more effective coopera- tion among professors and instructors in the vari- ous institutions for the promotion of the interests of higher education and research, and to increase the usefulness and advance the standards and ideals of the profession. The officers of the Occi- dental chapter for the year 1928-1929 are Hugh S. Lowther, president, and Arthur G. Coons, sec- UGH S. Lowther President retary. MEMBERS W. B. Allison W. G. Bell T. G.

Young FACULTY WOMEN ' S CLUB % HE Faculty Women ' s Club is an organization for the women of the faculty and the wives of faculty members. Although its purpose is primari ' ly social, the club furnishes various other types of activity. Interests are continually broadened to include study groups and lectures on current topics. Meetings are held once a month at the homes of the members and evening functions such as the Faculty Circle Dinners are frequently en- joyed. The organization has always evinced a genuine desire to be of service to the college. Besides maintaining a scholarship fund, it sponsors numer- ous affairs which add materially to the pleasures of student life and help to acquaint prominent leaders in the adjoining communities with activities at Occidental. The Women ' s Club has truly been of much service to the col- lege. The officers this year are: Mrs. W. B. Allison, president; Mrs. R. G. Cleland, vice-president; Mrs. Arthur G. Coons, treasurer; Mrs. Osgood Hardy, secretary. [40] Kenneth Holland President, Associated Students o A MESSAGE FROM THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT £ SHOULD rejoice in Xnotving that Occidental College has made great progress this year. We have added a College Union and a Music Building to our facilities and have excelled in athletics and other activities. These achievements are important, hut of greater significance is the awa ening of the students to a realization of the higher aims of education. Building programs and activi ' ties are important, hut the success of a col ' lege is judged by the type of student gradual ing each year. Only if we instill the spirit of Occidental in the hearts of each succeeding generation may we continue to progress. We should loo to the past to acquaint ourselves with the traditions and ideals of the college. We should loo to the present to see that we are following those aims and ideals in so far as they contribute to a greater Occidental. And we may loo to a hrilliant future when Occidental College will he recognized as one of the foremost colleges in the United States. Kenneth Holland, President. A.S.O.C. m Holland Moore Morrow McPhie Dormak Coons Booth Schweizer Donaldson Jones Ellsworth EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Ti HE administration and control of the activities of the Associated Students of Occidental College is centered in the Executive Cbmmittee. It supervises and determines the social and financial policies of the Associated Students and of all college organizations. The committee is composed of the A.S.O.C. officers, president of the Associated Women Students, the graduate manager, a faculty member appointed by the pres ident of the college, and an alumni representative chosen by the alumni council. Those who were members of the council this year were Kenneth Holland, president A.S.O.C; Mary MacPhie, viccpresident; Eva Morrow, secretary; Frances Moore, president A.W.S.; Ward Schwei2;er, athletic representative; Dudley Dorman, forensic representative; Richard Booth, editor of La Encina; Harold Jones, editor of the Occidental; Robert Don- aldson, yell leader; J. Philip Ellsworth, graduate manager; Dr. Arthur G. Coons, faculty representative; and Dr. Burt Richardson, alumni represen ' tative. Kenneth Holland presided over all meetings of the organization and was an ex ' officio member of all other committees. Under Mr. Holland ' s splendid leadership student body affairs were efficiently conducted and many progressive steps were taken. [44} Mary McPhie as vice- president had charge of all student body elec tions and was also chairman of the social committee. The socially successful year was largely due to Miss McPhie ' s efforts. Eva Morrow as secretary kept a record of all proceedings of the Associated Students in an efficient manner. She also carried on all official correspondence of the college. Women ' s affairs were largely under the control of Frances Moore. The year has been a most successful one and much credit goes to Miss Moore. Dudley Dorman supervised forensic activities for the past year. Under his direction a noteworthy debating season, including an eastern trip, was conducted. Richard Booth, who edited the La Encina, improved it in many ways. Mr. Booth and his staff deserve much credit in this accomplishment. Harold Jones was more than successful in editing the Occidental. The number of publications has been doubled this year due to the work of Mr. Jones and his staff. Robert Donaldson ' s second year as yell leader has been even more sue cessful than his first. A general spirit of pep and enthusiasm pervaded the rallies and games as a result of his efforts. The alumni body was represented by Mr. Burt Richardson. Through his work the alumni were able to keep in closer touch with the college. Dr. Arthur Coons represented the faculty and brought about a closer bond of friendship between students and instructors. Graduate Manager Phil Ellsworth had charge of all financial matters of the Associated Students. He deserves special credit for his management of athletic events. [45] THE GRADUATE MANAGER u. .PON the shoulders of the Graduate Manager fall the entire responsibilities of financing the As ' sociated Students, a problem which at times overshadows the war debt, the famous panic of 1897, or whenever it was, and other finan- cial crises. In Phil Ellsworth is found the ideal Graduate Manager — he presents a well rounded com- bination of Shylock, with all his money-holding instincts; Job, with all his patience; and the three little demi-gods commonly known as Faith, Hope and Charity, with all the best characteristics of each. The office of Graduate Man- ager requires a person who is able to foresee events as they are to come out, for without this ability a person would be at a loss as to how to prepare budgets, and then to see that they are carried out as prescribed. Phil Ellsworth has dreams for the future, but he is no idle dreamer — he is a man of visions, although not visionary to an extreme. All financial matters of the Associated Students and its affiliated or- ganizations, such as the Associated Women Stud ents, the Glee Clubs, the Occidental Players, and kindred other groups, are handled directly through the office of the Graduate Manager. Besides preparing and controlling all budgets of these diverse campus societies, the Graduate Manager also has charge of scheduling and managing all athletic contests, play productions, and the like. Many have been the strides forward in the athletic depart- ment under Phil Ellsworth ' s guidance The efficient handling of larger crowds at the football games last fall was due to Phil ' s careful planning. With the scheduling of nine important grid contests and the advent of night football due to the perseverance of the Graduate Manager, the com- ing year looms bright and rosy. J. Philip Ellsworth Graduate Manager J [46} B MANAGER OF PUBLICATIONS tViTH a rapidly expand- ing college, as Occidental is, new needs are constantly ma- terializing. The need for a Manager of Publications has long been evidenced, but not until this year has the need been realized. Edward A. K. Hackett, who graduated from Occidental last year and who has had a number of years of experience in publication work, was asked to fill the po- sition. During his first two years at Occidental College Ed Hackett was a prominent member of the staff of the campus newspaper, while in both of his last years he was editor of the La Encina. In his new capacity of Manager of Publications it is his duty to be responsible for the financial and managerial matters of the bi-weekly newspaper, the yearbook, the humor publication, and a host of other what-nots that flow from the minds of those on the campus who are liter- ally inchned, or otherwise. Having been manager of a number of athletic teams while in college, Ed now finds himself trifling with such matters as making accommoda- tions for athletes, handling ticket sales for games, sending off glee clubs, managing bookstores, and answering telephones. Instead of being called Manager of Publications, Mr. Hackett might well be termed as the As- sistant Graduate Manager. So useful have been his services that publi- cations are now only a part of his daily dozens. All of the nerve-racking experiences of a graduate manager in the matter of stretching budgets and making dollars count are being felt, but Ed Hackett, like Phil Ells- worth, is not to be discouraged by hard work. The Associated Students may well be proud of these men who are administering the expenditure of their funds, and feel that they are receiving true value. Edward Hackett Manager of Publications [47] m ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS .LJIlOST important of the offices available to women at Occi ' dental is that of President of the Associated Women Students. This was filled more than capably by Frances Moore during the past year. The position is one of great responsibility, requiring an enor mous amount of time. Miss Moore showed her fine spirit of co ' opera ' tion by willingly assuming her duties and seeing that they were executed to the best of her ability and to everyone ' s satisfaction. Under Miss Moore ' s super ' vision with the aid of Mrs. Pipal and the executive comm.ittee, the traditional affairs such as the Dove Reception, the Procession of Lan ' terns, and the A.W.S. Supper, reached a point of perfection never before attained at Occidental. During the first few weeks of this school year it was her responsibility to welcome and acquaint the incoming Freshmen women. Not only has Miss Moore been responsible for these events, but the popularity of the A.W.S. Stunts and the May Day Program of last year may also be attributed to her, as she took office in February, 1928. The women of Occidental owe a great deal to their president, Frances Moore, for she filled a difficult position yery skillfully and depend- ably, proving herself wor- thy of the trust and confi ' dence placed in her by those who elected her to the presidency of the Asso- ciated Women Students. Her noble record will long be remembered at Occiden- tal. A.W.S. Cabinet Francks Moore President, A.W.S. [48] s = A.W.S. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE w ORKING in co ' operation with the President of A.W.S., the executive committee carries into operation the many activities of the organization. This executive cabinet is composed of the Vice president. Secretary, Treasurer, and the President of the Women ' s Athletic Association. Josephine Peairs admirably filled the position of Vice-presi ' dent, being directly responsible for a number of the social functions. Mary Davies in the capacity of Secretary, is deserving of a great deal of credit for her work of keep- peairs Davies - • ' ing a record of the activities and Foreman Foree for carrying on the official corrc spondence. Ruth Foreman, whose ability in financial matters kept the organi2,ation on a firm footing, deserves no less credit. The Women ' s Athletic Association made considerable prog- ress during the year under the able leadership of Dorothy Foree. Among the activities. Women ' s High School Day on April 26 was most successful. About one hundred and fifty women from neighboring high schools visited the campus and were entertained in the new Student Union and Orr Gardens. The procession of lanterns [49] ASSOCIATED MEN STUDENTS iiRNEST Ketchkrsid President, A. M.S. Il OMBINING aU of the men of the college into one organi2;ation that is free of all political strife and whose purpose is to promote a progressive force for the better in ' terests of Occidental, has been the purpose of the Associated Men Students. Although only a year has passed since the formation of this organization, its worth has been felt in every avenue of activ- ity on the campus. Fraternity and non ' fratemity men, athletes, de- baters, scholars, and politicians have gathered to discuss, on equal terms, the real problems of the college. The year just passed has seen some remarkable strides forward in activit ies of the Associated Men Students. An annual High School Men ' s Day has been inaugurated and carried on most successfully. On May 23 nearly two hundred high school men visited Occidental. They were taken to luncheon at the various fraternity houses. During the afternoon they saw the Tiger baseball team trim U.C.L.A. This was followed by a dinner in the new Student LJnion at which Dr. Robert Freeman, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, gave a most inspiring talk. Another function of the organi2;ation has been the open forum discus- sions and smoker in the attractive men ' s lounge. These meetings were so well attended that it has been decided to hold them oftener. Policies of ath- letic nature, discussion of honor spirit and the like have been open for de- bate. This function has given every man an opportunity to express his views upon things that before were only vague ideas. It is the purpose next year to institute an annual dance so that a social element will not be lacking. Co-operating with the other activities of the school, it is hoped to make this a tradition that will live as an integral part of the college social year. [50] A.M.S. COUNCIL % HE success of the Associated Men Students was due in a large measure to its president, Ernest Ketchersid. Ernie, being the first president of the organization, has set standards and precedents that will live as embodying the pur- poses of the entire group. As cap- tain of the basketball team, Ketchersid was already a favorite among the men, and as president of their organization, he was doubly able to command their whole- hearted co-operation. His term of office continued during the first semester of this year, when he was succeeded by another outstanding leader of the college, Lee Osborne. The new president has con- tinued the work begun by Ernest Ketchersid in a way that is worthy of commendation. Lee Osborne, being one of Occidental ' s star tennis players, also finds himself able to act on behalf of the men students and know that he will receive their fullest support. The governing body of the Associated Men Students is the Council, which is made up of both fraternity and non-fraternity men. Its outlook is thus broad enough to include every faction represented on the campus. Although the Associated Men Students is not regulated by the faculty, Dr. Robert G. Gleland, Dean of Men, was deeply interested in its foundation and his advice and counsel have been gladly accepted. The members of the A.M.S. Council were: Ernest Ketchersid, President Russell Davis Harold Jones Osborne Jones schweizer Hastings Robert Getts Robert Hastings Kenneth Holland Leonard Janofsky Crofton Jones Lyle McAllister Lee Osborne Robert Renshaw Jack Schweizer Ward Schweizer J [51] a HONOR COURT N various institutions of learning the country over, the Honor Sys ' tem of conducting examinations has been tried and has been found sue cessful in the majority of cases. Occidental is one of the nation ' s colleges that has tried the system, and having tried it, maintains it and endorses it as a desirable feature of student life. Owing its reason for existence to the Honor System, The Honor Court at Occidental is a student group which hears the cases dealing with violations of the honor ideal. Students who have become offenders of the code are brought before this body. The circumstances of their of ' fense are cited, and the Honor Ck)urt then prescribes suitable punishments, the sentence depending upon the nature of the violation. The Honor Court has been extremely effective, and it has been gratifying to note that very few cases have been brought before it of late. The members of this judiciary receive their appointment from the president of the Associated Students, who also acts as chief justice. Occidental prefers that the constructive side of the Honor Spirit be emphasized, rather than the corrective pheise. Consequently the functions of the Court are not as great as might be expected in an institution in which the Honor Spirit is in use. The members of the Court are Kenneth Holland, who heads the group, Frances Moore, Mary McPhie, Lyle Mc Allister and Wayne Hackett. McPhie Hackett Moore [52] B HONOR SPIRIT % HE Honor Spirit is one of the highest ideals of our college. It is an ideal which depends upon each entering student for its continuance. Only as the spirit is instilled in your hearts and as the principle of honor becomes a part of your character may it grow and be passed on to the succeeding classes. If it is properly instilled, and thus continued, Occi- dental will be raised far above the plane of other institutions which are without such an all ' pervading spirit. If it is not properly instilled, Occi ' dental will take a place with the other colleges and universities which have abandoned such ideals, thus losing one of its most desirable tra- ditions. Because of its peculiarly personal nature you will find no elaborate ceremony for its promulgation and no intricate system for its propaga- tion; indeed no specific iron-clad rules. You are on your honor! — on your honor not only in examinations and class work, but in every phase of college life. We pride ourselves that we are each of us elements in an institu- tion which cannot be described merely in terms of buildings and curri- culum. Ideals are a part of our life. Let it never be said then that Occi- dental students found themselves unable to appreciate and to apply the Spirit of Honor in all their dealings with one another. As Polonius said to his son, Above all to thine own self be true and it shall follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.

Han Yu CIdASSB THE GRADUATE SCHOOL T. HE Graduate School came into being in the year of 1922. It has not been given particular emphasis at any time, yet it has enjoyed a phenomenal growth and development, having taken its place as one of the leading departments of the college. By keeping the entrance requirements and the standard of scholarship on a high level, the Graduate School has attracted with ease a large number of students from other universities and colleges throughout the United States. Fifth year students of Occidental have also swelled the total number enrolled. An excellent array of instructors has been available, and the fame of the school has gone out to various parts of the country. Many people attend the Graduate School with the object of securing additional degrees to that which is conferred at the end of the regular four years. The degree of Master of Arts is granted in the Department of English, History, Education, Political Science, Biology and Chemistry. The Educa ' tion Department also grants the General Secondary Certificate. With the rapid development and increased popularity of the Junior College and the consequent stressing of the fifth year, the Occidental Graduate School seemed destined to reach an even greater place in the world of education. A bright future is assured, a future which promises further conservative expansion. [56] ! THE SENIOR CLASS And I, too, — love my cottage: I have done my ploughing: I have sown my seed. — T ' ao Ch ' ien. (T. Elmer Jones President HE above bit of sentiment, a frag ' ment from an old Chinese melody, might well be the theme of the song of the Sen- ior Class, for as a whole, the class of 1929 has loved Occidental through the four years of college life and has sown well the seeds of educational effort. ' 29 will not soon forget its Alma Mater, nor will the college lose sight of its stalwart sons who are passing on into the greater adventures of life. There are four members of the Senior class who have helped in par ' ticular to make it worthy of remembrance. These people are Elmer Jones, Mary Louise Hendricks, Jean Barr, and Leo Smith. Following his previous experiences in the capacity of class treasurer during his Junior year, Elmer Jones was chosen to lead his class through the final period of its career. As president, he handled the countless prob- lems with a facile hand, and much of the success of the outgoing group is due to his efforts. Mary Louise Hendricks was responsible for the colorful Junior- Senior Prom of 1928, and this year she continued to manage the social affairs of the class. The most important event of every Senior class is the traditional Ditch Day; this year it was carried out in excellent fashion, the sneak being accomplished with great se- crecy. Jean Barr, secretary, was a wise selection for the office she was called upon to fill. Extremely capable, she did her work carefully and well. Hendricks Barr Smith [58} % Few men have hcindled class finances as capably as has Leo Smith, who was chosen treasurer at the beginning of 1928, and who shouldered the responsibility in a creditable fashion. He distributed the Senior pins and collected the necessary money for their payment and in all ways acquitted himself as a careful custodian of the class finances. It was one Monday morning in Feb ' ruary that the other classes, arriving on the campus, suddenly became aware of the fact that the Seniors, usually much in evidence, had utterly disappeared. Not one was to be seen. It was Ditch Day! In THt Patio The Seniors, it developed, were by that time far, far from home. Planning with utmost caution and secrecy, they had left early for the mountains, and at the very moment that their absence was discovered, were holding a carnival of youthful exuberance in the snowy canyons of Wright ' wood. All types of winter sports were indulged in, and it was a tired but happy crew that rolled swiftly homeward that night. In mid ' spring, the Seniors were honored at the annual banquet given by the Junior class. The affair was held in the Student Union, and in addi ' tion to creating a spirit of friendliness between the two classes, it provided much entertainment and proved to be one of the big social events of the year. With the coming of June, the class of ' 29 lived its last days of college life, passing on at graduation time into the affairs of the outside world. It went with regret, yet was eager to view the panorama of things that were to come in the days that followed commencement. The Banquet Hall [59] s George J.

[70] JUMIORcr s THE JUNIOR CLASS T ow Autumn ' s Purest alchemy anew Sluic ens the moonlight And distills the dew. —Liu Tzu-Hu. T ._. HE class of 1930 has many happy days to record among its memories. It has found the usual allotment of laughter and tears, but through the passing months there has been a prevading atmosphere of purpose about the activities of the class. Four principal characters have stood Harold Mosher out during the past year. The first of these President is the class president, Harold Mosher. Harold demonstrated his executive ability during his term of ofHce by lending the Freshman a guiding hand in the early part of the year and by directing his own class in a capable manner. Dorothy Burch, as vice-president and social chairman, has proven to be one of the best workers of the group. The energy that she has displayed in planning the social events of the year has marked her as an individual extremely deserving of the esteem accorded her by her classmates. Ellen Gibbs, as secretary, has been very methodical and efficient in keeping the records of meetings and distributing class notices. In her quiet way she has done more for her class perhaps than any other secretary in the past. George Hall as treas ' urer has supervised the fin- ances of the class. The bus- iness of this office is not leisurely, but George has done his work in an unusu- ally facile way. Gibbs Hall Burch mmm [72} Apple ton Bell Brininstool Bush Coates Archibald P.

T HE Sophomore year is always a period of more definite concentration upon activity. The Freshmen-that-were begin to exert themselves with even more 2;eal than before for the glorification of their college and their class. Because of the many enterprises undertaken, it has been fortunate during this past year that the support of the group has been so enthusias ' tically offered. Russell Long, the president of il, undoubtedly appreciated the re- sponse given him by his class-mates. Russell possessed an unusual aptitude for converting ideas into realities and had a way about him that aroused a desire for accomplishment among his following. [78] •w .i ; ii -fc tei «  a j - Mabel White has been prominent in affairs since she first entered Occidental. In recognition of her abihty, the Class of ' 31 chose her as vice ' president for the past year. Vice ' Presidents at Occidental are not mere figureheads, but take active part in class affairs, being given charge of all the social events. The Sophomore vice ' president assumed her respon ' sibilities with a will and performed the tasks alloted her in a truly satisfac tory manner. Portia Wallace, as secretary, preserved the records of the class. Her efficiency was rewarded when in the spring elections she was chosen as vice-president of the class for the coming year. Howard Marsh was another who aided in class activities, acting as guardian of the Sophomore funds. Sponsored by the second-year men, the Sophomore Stunt Night saw the four classes present four one-act plays, with the Freshmen winning the prize for the best performance. Each class also vied for honors with a booth apiece displayed in the upper quadrangle. Among the other inter- esting matters of the Class of ' 31 was the advent of Sophomore sweater, a brilliant red in color, and the customary Sophomore-Senior party, given shortly before commencement as a fitting close to the social affairs of the class. [79} m = Haynes Hendrix RiCHERT Smith THE FRESHMAN CLASS O galioping damns with Toiitfi and Ambition riding f(nee to nee! Rode on. Youth, with the g.illoping Dawns and dappled days! — Po Chu-I. gTp HE classes remain, though their personaHties change with their changing personnel. The incoming Freshman Class, in taking over the colors of the outgoing Senior class of the previous year, accepts the re sponsibility of carrying on the traditions of our college. With its Youth and Ambition riding knee to knee, it begins its career at Occidental. The Class of 1932, with its colors of green and white, has so far carried on very honorably the activities of its predecessors. To lead in these activities, it chose at the beginning of the year four officers: Laramee Haynes became president, Thomas Richert viccpresident. Vera Hendrix secretary and Morey Smith treasurer. J [80} m % Upon entering the college halls, each Freshman was presented with a Frosh Bible, his official introduction to the upperclassmen. Directly following this, copies of the Proclamations of the Men ' s and Women ' s Tribunals were presented to the men and women respectively; the purpose of these is to instruct the neophytes in the history and the traditions of Occidental. The men of the class were set to work at the time of the Pomona football game, building the bonfire for the traditional rally. The flaming beacon that grew out of their labors was sufficiently brilliant to bring the favor of Dame Fortune the next day to Occidental ' s gridiron team. Displaying their cleverness and dramatic ability, the peagreeners monopolized the awards of the Sophomore Stunts, winning the prizes for both the best booth and the most finished one ' act play. The Junior ' Freshman banquet, a traditional social event on the col ' legiate calendar, took place on the Friday before St. Patrick ' s Day. It was a gala affair, the motif being carried out in green to fit the date, and much effort being expended to make the occasion a success. It was a fitting close to the Freshman social season.

Li T ' Ai-Po I E? m © Imler Donaldson Powell McAllister Dixon % RALLY COMMITTEE HE Rally Committee is a function of the Associated Students dc signed to sponsor the activities at games and dances. Its particular task is to raise pep wherever there seems to be an opportunity. The committee is composed of the student president, the editor of the Occidental, a chair- man chosen by the student body president, and ten other members chosen by this chairman. Each member of the committee has a defin ite duty which he performs. This year the committee was responsible for a number of super-rallies. The Stag Rally held September 21, was one that will long be remembered. The speakers were Coach Kienholz;, Dr. Robert Cleland, and Captain Johnny Eberhardt. Another activity sponsored by the rally committee and one which proved to be a great compliment to Occidental College was the boat trip to San Diego. A peppy dance on board was just one of the things that spelled success for the entire expedition. For these activities and many others the Rally Committee of the past year can be attributed with having made real progress in the field of whet- ting the good old Occidental Spirit . MEMBERS Lyle McAllister Boh Donaldson Kenneth Holland Harold Jones WiUard Wilson Larry Powell Donald Imler William Condit Aiuiell Dixon Princess Booth Russell Davis Maurice Brown Dale Robinson Robert Harper J [84] Holland Jones Weddington MOSHER Moore Fuller Hendricks Burch T: MEN ' S AND WOMEN ' S TRIBUNALS HE first organization that creates an impression on the incoming Freshmen of the masculine gender, is the Men ' s Tribunal. The chief func- tion of this organi2;ation is to acquaint the new students with the customs and traditions of Occidental. During the first week of each new school year, the Freshman Proclamation is issued, wherein are stated the things which a frosh may do, but more particularly those things which he may not do. To make the orientation complete, the dangers of failure to obey the proclamation are vividly outlined. The Men ' s Tribunal is composed of the student body president, as chairman, the presidents of the two upper classes, and two other upperclassmen chosen by vote. This year these mem- bers have been, in that order, Kenneth Holland, Elmer Jones, Harold Moser and Milo Weddington, the fifth member not having been chosen. The Women ' s Tribunal is a similar organization, destined to educate entering women in the ways of the Tiger institution. The Proclamation, together with the Women ' s Court, serve to impress the feminine new comers with those things which stand for and are, essentially, Occidental. The Women ' s Tribunal acts as a court, punishing violators who come under its jurisdiction. Five women are chosen from the upperclass group to act on the Tribunal. This year these five have been Frances Moore, chairman; Leora Fuller, judge; Mary Lou Hendricks and Dorothy Burch, the latter two ' being vice-president of the Senior and Junior Class, respec tively. [85] e CHAPEL COMMITTEE 7 REAL problem has presented itself at Occidental concerning the chapel period. Under the direction of Dr. J. Hudson Ballard of the Department of Religion, this problem has been brought to a satisfactory solution. Because the chapel hall is not large enough to accommodate the entire student body, a schedule has been worked out where the upper classes alternate in attendance. Fridays are usually devoted to rallies or class meetings. On the other days a short period of refreshing devotion is carried on. Pas ' tors of neighboring churches, and often speakers of national repute con ' tribute to the services. Dr. Ballard ' s messages to the students are always linked up with some- thing of real interest to them, which makes the devotional period more inspiring. During the past year chapel has been better attended than ever before. The members of the Chapel Committee were Dr. Ballard, Chair- man; Kenneth Holland, Frances Moore, Agnes Nohrnberg, Elmer Jones, Dean Burt, Dean Myers, and Dean Cleland. Dr. J. H. Ballard Chairman TRAFFIC COMMITTEE I N an effort to improve the appearance of the campus by restricting the parking of cars to an allotted area, the Traffic Committee has come into being. Jack Schwei2,er as chairman of this committee, with the other members, has accomp- lished this end most effectively. Only visitors are allowed to park their cars on the campus. Students, whose cars are parked in violation of the rule, are made to pay a fine of one dollar which goes to the Associated Students. Jack Schweizer Chairman Thie Traffic Committee also co-operates with the Polict Department of Los Angeles and the Southern California Automobile Club in handling traffic at athletic contests, and has in a large measure been responsible for the smaller number of accidents at these gatherings. [86] B SOCIAL COMMITTEE Scheduling of aii sodai functions of the college year is done through the office of the Advisor of Social Activities. Mrs. Pipal, who fills this capacity, is most adept in her duties. Work- ing in conjunction with Mrs. Pipal, the Social Committee creates the plans for the hundred and one annual social events that have been incorpor- ated in the student life. Mrs. Jl ' lia A. Pipal Social Advisor Members of this committee were: Mary McPhie, vice-president of the Associated Stu- dents; Kenneth Holland, president of the Associated Students, and Frances Moore, president of A.W.S. Among the most colorful social events, for which the committee was responsible, were the Football Banquet, the all-college Christmas Party, and the Athletic Banquet. With the new Student Union, which is equipped to accommodate large banquets and dances, the committee v as able to improve these functions with the least effort and expense to the patrons. ELECTION COMMITTEE A: Mary McPhie Chairman S vice-president of the Associated Students, Mary McPhie was chairman of the committee whose duty it is to carry on all student elections in a fair and efficient way. Miss McPhie proved herself most capable in this capacity. Part of this committee is responsible for con- ducting the polls at various places on the campus, while another part counts the ballots and makes a formal report of the returns. Determining the eligibility of all candidates and checking the petitions is another duty of this committee. The planning of publicity for elections, the actual voting and ballot-counting were carried on so efficiently and with such fairness that the committee is deserving of a great deal of credit for its work this year. J [87} B§ Fisher Shumaker Gaston Morrow Shedd Miller Barr Norhnberg WOMEN SPONSOR GROUP JIlVECOGNIZING the need for a systematic orientation of incoming Freshman women, the A.W.S. each year appoints several Senior women as Sponsors for the newcomers. An official welcome is thus made possible and the ideals of Occidental are taught and various customs pointed out. The Senior women who served this year were Catherine Shedd, chairman, Jean Barr, Eli2;abeth Fisher, Dorothy Force, Jewel Gaston, Martha Miller, Eva Morrow, Agnes Norhnburg, Ruth Schumaker and Celestia White. These women assumed their duties during Freshman Week, acting as hostesses and entertaining at tea those strangers within our gates . At this time a group of ten or twelve Freshmen are organized under the leader ' ship of one Sponsor, so that each Senior woman had a group to oversee. A place and time for weekly meetings of the groups is then arranged. This year the Sponsors decided that the most valuable aid they could offer would be to get the Freshman women acquainted with one another. The first meetings were for instruction in the traditions of Occidental, the Honor System, co-operation, friendliness, unity, balance of life, budget of time, recreation and scholarship. Subsequent meetings took the form of purely social affairs, including luncheons, exchange bridge parties and swim- ming parties. The final affair was a bridge tea given by the Sponsors in Erdman Hall. The work done by the Senior women has been invaluable in giving the new women the proper attitude toward and understanding of the spirit that is Occidental. [88] s LA ENCINA T= Richard Booth Editor-in-Chief HAT the 1929 La Encina will live up to the time ' wom motto of every editor, Better than ever, can be discerned only after the volume has received the judg ' ment of its readers. There have been a number of im ' provements made over previous editions. One is the fact that more pictures than ever before are made use of. It has been the purpose of the staff to supplement pictures for words wherever it was prac tical. Another improvement has been in the use of colored engraved pages. This is the first La Encina to make use of col ' ored paintings to such a great extent. An ' other feature is the use of real imported Chinese type used on the division pages. These Chinese characters are correct ex ' pressions in Chinese of the words they are used with. Richard Booth, editor, has endeavored to use the Oriental theme in typifying that broadening spirit, not only of Occidental College, but of the entire Occident — the West, in its willingness to vision beyond the present and acknowl ' edge a new Orient of the future. The task of building a year ' book is by no means an easy one, and only with the wholehearted co ' operation of a willing and deserving staff has this volume come into be ' ing. A great deal of credit goes to those who have toiled unceasingly in gathering material and pictures for use herein. To Harold Mosher should be given a great deal of credit for his diligent work in selling advertising space. This year the in ' come from advertising has totaled far more Harold Mosher Advertising Manager I [90] than ever before, thus giving the business staff more funds with which to improve upon the book. Mary B. Taylor is deserving of the credit for having assigned the articles to various members of the staff and seeing that they were written in time. In many other ways Miss Taylor has proved her- self capable of the office of Assistant Editor. The Associate Editor, Everett Moore, in his quiet way, was of immeasurable aid in arranging and scheduling pictures, gath ' ering material, and reading proof. He also proved his worth in many other phases of editing the book. To the many other members of the La Encina staff, who have worked no less efficiently, the editor is indebted. For the complete and accurate stories cf the ath- letic contests, Fred Appleton and John Byrne are responsible. The Grad- uate Manager, J. Philip Ellsworth, and his assistant, Edward Hackett, have been most considerate in allowing extra ex- penditure of funds wherever the editor thought it necessary. As the work of publishing the book draws to a close and the final page has been set by the printer, a feeling is somewhere evident that something has been accom- plished. Many hours filled with weary work have been spent, yet, after all, einother page of Occidental history has been recorded. If the same prodigous task were to be under- taken again, the editor could wish for noth- ing more than the same staff with the same spirit of willingness and co-operation that has been shown in preparing this book.

Jones Editor-in-chief Charles Plummer Managing Editor THE OCCIDENTAL TEADY interest on the part of the student body is one of the most conclusive evidences of success in any campus activity. The continued enthusiasm for The Occidental, as expressed by the students during the past three semesters, has been both a compliment and an inspiration to its editors and staff members. Harold Jones, editor ' in ' chief for the past two semesters, has con ' tinued in a most admirable way the steady improvement of the news ' paper. During his period as head of the staff, several reforms have been carried out. Perhaps the most important is the new policy of issuing the paper twice a week. In making this change, the si2,e of the publication was slightly reduced, being now four pages instead of six. The success of the bi ' weekly, due to its competent management, has met favorably with even the greatest of expectations. Other changes which have added to the increasingly professional appearance of the paper are the complete makeup of bold face type, and the ability to procure the same pictures for the sport pages that are used by the metropolitan dailies. The ideals of continuous progress and increasing worth, which have been so well upheld by Jones and his staff, are now being carried on by the new editor-iu ' chief Wayne R. Hackett and his assistants. J [94] wm Harlan I BoGEN Byrne Iblings McCord Earl Hackett Stadlinger W.

The first, following the theme, Beginners appeared on the campus early in October, its coming preceded by a brass band. The second and final number developed the football motif and centered its interest about the Occidental ' Pomona gridiron contest, the official literature of which it contained to be sold in the stands at that game. Under the editorship of Charles Plummer, the publication attempt- ed to follow a policy which called for the purveyance of wit and satire to the edification of the reading public and in harmony with the ideals of the college. The comic was fortunate in securing the contributions of Knute K. Rockne of Notre Dame, Clifford McBride, a former student of Occidental College and a cartoonist of wide repute, and Bill Henry, noted sport writer and a graduate of this institution.

Its pages are filled with the best of Occidentars poetry, hterature, plays, and essays. The entire publication is the product of the Press Club, an organization of those interested in writing and the promotion of local literary luminaries. However, instead of limiting the contributions to members of the Press Club, as a trial, this year manu ' scripts were acceptable from the entire student body of the college in order that the different phases of original work might be adequately rep ' resented. The result was a greater variety of material for the publication and a wider interest on the part of students. The Press Club, which sponsors the magazine, receives its member ' ship by election of those interested in composition and through the recom- mendation of the English Department. It has regular meetings where the product of Occidental ' s literary thought is read and criticized in a purely constructive fashion. Stag WiLLARD Wilson Editornri ' chief Josephine Peairs Associate Editor Marian Taft Associate Editor J [97} Earl MOSHER GiLLILAND HANDBOOK T: HE Handbook, or better, The Frosh Bible , is still another publica- tion of the Associated Students. Making its appearance upon the campus about the same time that a new crop of high school rabble is apparent, it is only just that this particular piece of literary effort should be dedicated to the ignorance of frosh . Besides containing pictures of all the fraternity and sorority pins as well as the date of bid day, the book gives one hundred and one famous Occidental songs and yells including the impossible lo Triumphe. Then with some advertisements, a calendar, and numerous messages from the coaches and student body presidents, the volume is quite complete. Being published particularly for the Freshmen, the Handbook is given free to them on entering school; for those upperclassmen whose memory has failed or who hke to see their names in print, the book is available for twenty ' five cents. The staff of the 1929 Handbook made a number of improvements over preceding years. The book was larger than before and produced some revenue to the Associated Students through its advertising. STAFF Esther Earl - Helen Gilliland Harold Mosher ' ' Editor - Assistant Editor Business Manager [98} i DEPARTMENT OF DRAMATICS e. Mrs. Joyce Turner Weil Department of Speech Education i ' OLLEGIATE dramatic activity has flowered profusely this year at Occidental. More plays have been presented, more interest has been shown in things dra ' matic, and Thespians have generally acquited themselves more creditably than has been the case for several years. Sophomore Stunts, presenting an evening of oncact plays staged by various classes, was the first production of the year. The Freshmen, with Checkov ' s Marriage Proposal won the prize for the best staged performance. The Little Theatre followed closely with another evening of oncacts. Then came Lillies of the Field , A.W.S. Stunts, It pays to Advertise , other Little Theatre productions, and Hoopie — a revival of the old collegiate extravagan2,a idea. The Junior class presented The Queen ' s Husband ; the Glee Clubs staged the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, Pirates of Penzance ; while Midsummer Night ' s Dream was produced by the Freshman Women on May Day. Mrs. Joyce Turner Weil, assistant in the department of Speech Edu- cation, has demonstrated frequently her ability as a director by her produc- tions at the college. She knows her stage both historically and by experience; and she is close enough to college life to realize the difficulties of student dramatic productions. Her particu- lar forte is in the direction of light modern comedy, though strangely enough, in her un- dergraduate work at U.C.L.A. she was best known for her acting in Greek tragedy. Miss Euphrates Pashgian is a new addition to the teaching personnel of the Speech Educa- tion department, although not a stranger at Occidental. During her undergratuate days she did notable work in dramatics and forensics. After graduation she spent a year at the Theo- dore Irving School of the Theatre in New York. Miss Euphrates Pashgian Department of Speech Education [100] m LITTLE THEATRE PRODUCTIONS HE Little Theatre is essentially a workshop where student actors and direc tors may perfect their technique of pre duction. One act plays of various kinds, ranging from the lightest of farce to the most sombre realities of Irish folk plays, are presented at frequent intervals throughout the year. Direction is in the hands of members of the Play Production class; but anyone desirous of the training is eligible for the acting parts. Difficulties to be overcome in production make the work even more valuable for student actors. Upon two occasions the Women ' s Gymnasium has been miraculously transformed into a somewhat respectable looking theatre. But despite the inadequacies of staging facilities, the work done is creditable and impressive. With the Little Theare lies, to a large extent, the responsibility of discovering and developing new dramatic talent on the campus. It is the opinion of those interested in dramatics that the coming year will show a new and greater stride forward in the development of the Little Theatre. [101} JIl9KCEPTIONALLY well cast and acted was the first play of the year. Lillies of the Field, an Eng- lish comedy by John Hastings Tur- ner, was presented by members of the Occidental Players. Since it was the first play of the year, the actors were necessarily chosen for their known ability and experience in college dra- matic work. The result was a quality of ensemble playing which was nota- ble for its smoothness and profes- sional finish. Sophisticated and sparkling in dialogue, the play was one calculated to appeal to a college audience. The humor was of a more sub- tle kind than the more blatant type commonly presented in an amateur production, and was emphasi2;ed delicately by the able direction of Mrs. Weil and Prof. Lindsley. Effectiveness of the production was greatly enhanced by the costum- ing work of the Western Costume Company. Details of staging and man- agement were in the hands of other members of the Occidental Players [102} B THE FIELD to whom credit is due. On the whole the play was voted one of the most entertaining and professional of recent Occidental productions. THE CAST Rev.

This second production of the year by the Players, a hilariously farcial comedy of mod ' em life by Megrue and Hackett, was excep ' tionally fortunate in its casting. The variety of characteri2,ation ranged from that of a sophisticated or slightly dumb Englishman to a blustery American business man. The play was staged in the Eagle Rock High School auditorium where seating and production facilities were adc quate. No box sets were used; the soft velours being utilized effectively as a background for the interior scenes. Furniture was strikingly brilliant, both in upholstery and utili2,ation, and was admirably suited to the type of play presented. Incidentally the play marked the return of the Player ' s financial success, Bert Leech managing the play so efficiently that money was actually cleared on the show. Direction of the play rested with Mrs. Weil and Miss Pashgian, under the supervision of the Speech Education Department. The acting J [104} throughout was Hvely, and the audience ap- preciative. A snappy piece of entertainment well done. CAST Mar i Grayson - - - ]o iniov.

[105] Clifton Coates Business Manager THE JUNIOR III EACHING the climax of the dramatic year, the Junior Class presented as its annual production Robert Emmet Sherwood ' s com- edy The Queen ' s Husband. From a dra ' matic viewpoint, the play was a huge success. Brodie Bumham as King Eric played the part to perfection. No less entertaining was Kenneth Bush as Phipps, especially in the checker episodes. Esther Earl was the charming Princess Anne whose elopement was postponed to the utter disappointment of the audience. Dudley Dorman in the role of the responsible Frederick Granton, secretary to the King, showed real dramatic talent. Probably the hardest part and the one best done was that of Queen Martha. Marion Lyle gave an excellent interpretation of the Queen. Though in real life she is in no way the over ' bearing, impetuous person she portrayed in the play. The Queen ' s Husband has been haled by many as the best produc tion at Occidental in many years. The one bad feature of the play was the fact that no money was made. The object of the play is to make a profit for the classes ' activities. It was only through the tireless efforts of the business manager, Clifton Coates, that the play did not suffer a large deficit. The = [106} m PLAY high royalty and cost of costumes were re ' sponsible for the play not making a profit. Miss Euphrates Pashgian, an alumnus of Occidental, and now a member of its faculty, was director of the play. Her dramatic abil ' ity was ably shown in this production.

The skit was admirably conceived in a pseudcclassical, Shakespearian man ' ner, was costumed effectively, and was well interpreted. It was the second consecutive prize-winner written by Holly Gilliland. Delta Omicron Tau sorority, with its Stairway of Dreams idea, took second place. It fea- tured a girFs trio which contributed by far the best ensemble singing of the evening, and otherwise acquitted itself capably. The Gamma Kappa Theta sorority offering took third place. The fraternities built booths on the upper quad where various kinds of groceries were disposed of. Sigma Omicron won first prize with its Observation Car idea. The proceeds of the booths were used to help send the Track team to the Eastern relays. [108] e DEBATE AT OCCIDENTAL JILJeBATE at Occidental has become a major activity. Today it ranks with publications and drama in interest and it calls to its opportunities some of the best minds of the campus. As debating requires much keen- mindedness it will naturally draw from the best of students. The coaching opportunities which Occidental enjoys in forensic ac tivities is well recogni2,ed among the colleges and universities of the state. Prof. Charles F. Lindsley, head of the Department of Speech Education, has been in charge of debate at the college for a number of years. His teams have repeatedly won the conference title. The record of Occidental ' s debate history is written in many of the foremost institutions of the coun ' try, and has been since the inauguration of the yearly tour. Prof. Lind ' sley ' s accompanying of most of the eastern trips has resulted in excellence of both material and delivery on the part of the teams on all occasions, and has been largely responsible for their sweeping sue cess. Debate has been given a new impetus by the addition of another member to the Department of Speech Education. Mr. William Berger, a graduate of the School of Law of the University of Southern Cali ' fornia, has been an invaluable aid in pre ' paring the men of Occidental to meet the representatives of other schools in verbal combat. At present Mr. Berger is a prac- ticing lawyer in Los Angeles. His colle ' giate debate experience and his present practice provide excellent qualifications for his work with the Occidental teams as well as allowing his students a rare oppor- tunities for making contacts with men of the legal profession. With the prospect of all but one of this year ' s debaters returning next year, the future of Occidental ' s forensic activi ' tives looms still more spectacular than ever before. Professor Lindsley William Berger [110] THE FORENSIC REPRESENTATIVE T%.FTER a most successful year of Debate, Dudley Dorman, Forensic Representative for the past two semesters, now turns over the reigns of forensic responsibility to his successor, Leonard Janofsky. In this capacity, Mr. Dorman has done credit to himself and his Alma Mater that will long be remembered by those interested in collegiate debate. Having had a broad experience in forensic activity before entering Occidental, Mr. Dorman was able to go about his tasks of scheduling verbal contests with the greatest of efficiency. Beside the teams met on the eastern debate tour. Occidental orators encountered Southwestern Law School, University of Southern California, Pomona, Redlands, Lawrence College and others. Most of the debates this season were non decision, which makes it more difficult to give an accurate account of them. Non-decision debates are rapidly becoming more popular because they per- mit elimination of certain forensic techni ' - . calities and allow broader discussion of the subject. Success of debates can, however, be measured by the attendance they re- ceive. The wider interest and larger at ' tendance have proved that Occidental has truly enjoyed a successful season. The position of Forensic Representa- tive is an elective office and one which re- quires a person fluent in speech and also well-versed in matters of current interest. The new representative is equally qualified in both of these ways. The future season looks to be as well managed as the one just past. Leonard Janofsky also has had considerable experience in debate, having represented South Pasadena High School for three successive years. With the grow- ing number of colleges anxious to meet Occidental next year Mr. Janofsky will be kept busy in his new capacity. t ' DiDLiY Dorman Forensic Representative [111] DORMAN Holland Shiminuuchi THE SEASON W: HILE Kenneth Holland and Dudley Dorman were touring the East, Occidental was enjoying a most successful season in debate on her home campus, The first debate was a non ' decision encounter with the three man team from the University of Pittsburgh and drew one of the largest audi- ences of the year. The Occidental team of Ural Johnson, David Roberts, and Perry Ellis successfully defended the affirmative of the question, Re solved : That trial by jury should be abolished. With Southwestern University Law School, Occidental next engaged in a dual debate. The negative of the question; Resolved: That the present day jury system is inimical to the administration of justice , was upheld by Henry Shiminouchi and Leonard Janofsky in Alumni Hall, while Ural Johnson and Bert Leech upheld the affirmative at Southwestern. Resolved: That a substitute for jury trial should be adopted , was the question debated by Occidental ' s negative team of Shiminouchi and Janofsky with U.S.C. at the St. Mark ' s Community House. At the Lion ' s Club luncheon in Ontario, Shiminouchi and Janofsky met Pomona on the negative side of the substitute for trial by jury question. Traveling to Redlands, the same team met Redlands University on the same question. [112] B Ellis Johnson Roberts %= In one of the foremost debates of the year, and in the only decision debate of the year at home, Occidental ' s negative team of Shiminouchi and Janofsky won the decision of one expert judge over the visiting Baylor Uni ' versity team of Texas. The question debated was the substitute of trial by jury. The verbal tilt was staged in Alumni Hall. Kenneth Holland and Ural Johnson defended the affirmative of the jury question when the pair met the Brigham Young University from Provo, Utah at the Morman Church in Los Angeles. The members of the Westlake Masonic Temple were entertained at their lodge in one of the most interesting debates of the year when Occi ' dental pitted her three man team of Ellis, Shiminouchi, and Roberts against Stanford on the affirmative of the question, Resolved: That foreign criti ' cism of American culture, characteristics, and ideals is justified . Shiminouchi and Janofsky brought their debate season to a close with the meeting of Lawrence College of Appleton, Wisconsin on the negative of the jury substitute question at the Glendale First Baptist Church. Occidental ' s debate history for 1929 closed with a debate with the University of Utah held in Alumni Hall. Dorman and Holland, Occiden ' tal ' s representatives, upheld the affirmative of the substitute for jury trial question. This question being most popular among a great number of col ' leges of the country, it was well studied and given the most special atten ' tion by all of the Occidental debaters.

The Oc cidental team had the affirmative of all three questions and won all the decision debates. The questions were all of a popular nature and were well received by the audi ' ences. The jury question and power question were debated for the most part before churches and clubs while the fraternity question was discussed on the campuses of the different colleges and universities. The latter question aroused a good deal of interest among the students particularly in the group belong- ing to the organizations under ques ' tion. Dorman and Holland are both debaters and orators of skill and experience and the team is reported to have made a fine reputation for Occidental. Holland and Dorman hold up a train.

The greatest success of the year came in the achievement of a conference championship, when the women of Occidental tied the University of California at Los Angeles. The question debated this year was Resolved: That the movies are detrimental to civilization , which proved to be a subject well susceptible to debate and one which was extremely interesting to audiences. The squad was composed of only four women, making one negative and one affirmative team. The negative team of Dorthea Thurlby and Dorisdele Pomeroy met three schools: Whittier College, Pomona College, and the University of California at Los Angeles. They were victorious in the first two and were defeated in the latter, this being the only debate lost by Occidental. The affirmative team of Marian Lyle and Pauline Boulger, both experienced debaters, met La Verne College, University of Redlands, and University of California at Los Angeles, and was undefeated throughout the season. The non ' conference program was composed of debates with the Uni ' versity of Utah and Southwestern Law School. These were non-decision debates and the Occidental women upheld their sides substantially. The women were coached this year by William Berger, a lawyer in Los Angeles, and Prof. Charles Lindsley of the Speech Education Depart ' ment. Pauline Boulger acted as Women ' s Forensic Representative. J [116} Walter E. Hartley Head of the Department of Music DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC Jfr ROWTH and achievement are the only reasons for the existence of any institution. The Music Department at Occidental, under the worthy direction of Prof. Walter E. Hartley, has proved itself, in three short years, to be an integral part of the college. That sometime gap in modern culture which is occasioned by too little appreciation of art is rapidly being bridged by a quickened interest in things musical. At Occidental, since the institu ' tion of the Department of Music, there has been an ever expanding inter ' est in the sphere of music, and especially during the past year there has been evident a genuine appreciation of the talent that has been developed. If Occidental is to be proud of its Department of Music, it may be none the less pleased with the head of this department. Prof. Walter E. Hartley. Prof. Hartley was graduated from Yale University in 1908 and received his degree of M.B. in 1910. Later he studied under Widor in Paris. At Pomona College he won renown for outstanding work in the De- partment of Music and especially in the field of organ. Mr. Hartley is a Fellow in the American Guild of Organists and also Organist ' Director at the First Methodist Church of Pasadena. The Music Department has lent its influence most willingly in helping to secure for Occidental a series of nationally famed talent. First of this group to make its appearance upon the campus was the far famed [118] , e Smallman A Capella Choir. Singing before a capacity auditorium, this program marked one of the most briUiant of all musical performances in Occidental history. This first outstanding event seemed to tune all Occi ' dental ears to the beauty and inspiration of the voice and aroused an inter- est for the delightful programs which followed. On the evening of October twenty-third the college was favored with a piano recital presented by Miss Helen Young, formerly instructor of Piano at Sweetbriar College and a director of the Music Department of that institution. Another well-recieved recital was that of Miss Julie Keller, harpist. January sixteenth marked the concert of the California String Trio. No program could have claimed so much praise from the entire student body as did this. Closely following this was a concert featuring the nation- ally known negro soloist, Madame Cole Talbert. Her rendition of the fas- cinating negro spirituals was most gloriously hailed by all who heard her. That these old favorites are a true product of American art could be ap- preciated much more sincerely after hearing them sung by Madame Talbert. Probably the most brilliant program of this series was that of the De Busscher Ensemble. It comprised a flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn. These musicians are recogni2;ed masters of their particular in- strument, as well as all being members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra. It should be mentioned that all of these concerts were free to the en- tire student body, being the gift of one particular donor of the college. So well taken were these varied programs that plans are already being laid for a similar series in the coming year. Another prodigious task of the Department of Music this year is the presentation of the charming operetta of Gilbert and Sullivan, The Pirates of Penzance . Being given on May Twenty-third, it cannot receive recognition in this volume of La Encina which will be off the press before that date. Both the Men ' s and Women ' s Glee Clubs are combining their efforts in making this production successful. Professor Hartley, assisted by his wife, Mrs. Edith Hartley, a soloist of wide repute, will undoubted make The Pirates of Penzance an event worthy of the support of the en- tire Occidental community. The beautiful Greek Amphitheatre, with its impressive cypressed background will form the setting for this promising musical attainment of the year. t [119] 1 WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB T: He Women ' s Glee Club has passed a successful year under the lead ' ership of Prof. Walter E. Hartley in his third year of active music direc tion at Occidental. The Club has presented concerts in schools, churches and clubs in and near Los Angeles. A feature in adding zest to this year ' s programs was the addition of two quartettes. Princess Booth, Mary Bab ' cock, Gretchen Evans, and Mary Hosford composed one of these; Beulah Montgomery, Marion Hoick, Frances Raab, and Gladys Pyle formed the other. Princess Booth and Beulah Montgomery lent b rilliance to the con ' certs with their delightful solos, while the readings of Mary Babcock never failed to bring a hearty response from the many and varied audiences. Special mention should be made of the clever presentation entitled Rain , offered by Princess Booth and Gretchen Evans. On March 16 the Club participated in the Intercollegiate Contest held at Pomona College, Another brilliant showing was on the evening of March 12 when the Club gave its annual con ' cert at the Hollenbeck Home. Following the pro- gram. Dr. W. S. Young, in charge of the institu ' tion, entertained the Club most royally. Mary Hosford President [120] f??H?fw ?r MEN ' S GLEE CLUB H ARMONIZING with almost every other activity upon the campus, the Men ' s Glee Club also may well be attributed with a year of outstand ' ing achievement. The Club presented during the year more than thirty concerts. Prof. Hartley ' s capable direction was the foundation of the widely acclaimed success. Harold T. Jones, as Club President, managed his respon- sibilities most efficiently. Beside the vocal talent of the twenty-two men who composed the group, other genius showed itself in the string trio composed of Bob Free- man, Lawrence Brown, and Harold Jones; the quartette of Harold Mosher, Brodie Bumham, Harold Jones, and Lawrence Brown; and a five piece orchestra. During the Easter vacation, the Club made an extended trip giving fourteen concerts in var- ious towns as far south as San Diego. Lending a great deal of time and energy to the work of the Booster Committee, the Club took part in many of the exchange programs with other colleges. Toward the close of the year the entire Club united in a most brilliant musi cal production, The Pirates of Penzance . Harold T. Jones President [121} Jones, Brown, Mosher, Burnham GLEE CLUB QUARTETTE N this, its second year, the Glee Club Quartette has made no less prog ' ress than in its first. Sending a program to the four corners of the earth over one of the prominent radio stations, as well as traveling to many points in the southland with their well chosen selections, has been only a part of the accomplishment of this Occidental group. The members of the Quartette were Harold Jones, first tenor; Lawrence Brown, second tenor; Harold Mosher, first bass, and Brodie Burnham, second bass. Ken ' neth Bush, who acted as piano accompan- ist for the Glee Club, also filled this capac ity for the quartette. Professor Walter Hartley was responsible for discovering and developing the vocal talent of this group. Harold Jones and Lawrence Brown together with Bob Freeman formed an ' other ensemble which enjoyed no mean success. The String Trio, a new develop- ment in the Music Department, was espec ially active in the many exchange pre grams of the year. ■ r 1 T 8 1 r 1 if 1 i i a 1 1 e= rmmf i : 1 hi: bxRixcj Trio J [122] m Taylor, Davidson, Kline, Love, Freeman GLEE CLUB ORCHESTRA 111 HE Occidental Glee Club Orchestra, or probably better known as the famous Tiger Growlers ' , undoubtedly made itself heard more than any other group within the Glee Club. Snorting out their fiery rhythm at all of the rally assemblies as well as most of the appearances of the Glee Club, these pep-making musicians with their molten notes were the hfe of the party. At the piano Charles Taylor proved his dexterity, while Keith Davidson, the booming drummer, was no less popular. Bob Freeman, whose genius with the banjo is widely recognized, was a mentor to the club ' s success. Al Kline and John Love, with their voluminous saxophones, provided the passion- ate pulses that kept the orchestra in demand everywhere. This musi- cal aggregation accompanied the Glee Club on the San Diego tour and provided the highlights of en- tertainment at some twenty per- formances. Also a number of col- lege dances have enjoyed the rhythm of this remarkable collec- tion of melody producers. Scenes from San Diego [123} = c? 0 OCCIDENTAL ORCHESTRA Prof. Walter E.

To progress, certain new things must be added to the organization ' s program of certain phases of the work definitely strengthened. The Alumni Association is no different. Certain things relative to Occidental have been taken over as the special work of the Alumni Association and these things must of necessity be a part of each year ' s activities. Particular emphasis, however, may be changed. Just as in the year 19264927 special stress was laid on the reorganization of the Council, and in the year 19274928 Tiger Clubs were organized in a number of communities, so this year 19284929 among other things, the publications of the Associations have been changed and the work of cer ' tain committees strengthened. The Alumni Association has added a second publication to its activi ' ties this year. The Tiger Campus, a monthly four-page bulletin — is sent to all members of the Alumni Association, regardless of whether they are financial supporters of the Association or not. The Campus carries announcements of college and alumni events to the great body of alumni. The Occidental Alumnus, edited by Harold Reavis ' 24, a quarterly, is sent to all alumni whose dues for the year are paid. The Alumnus carries class [126] m and association news, college and athletic news and feature articles by and about the alumni. These two publications, together with some bulletins published by the Executive Secretary ' s Office, keep the whole body of Alumni in touch with all phases of college life. Emphasis has been laid on the organization of a Membership Com- mittee under the direction of Harold Dryden ' 19, whereby the collection of dues and the dissemination of information may be simplified among the alumni. This committee has functioned very effectively in the collection of dues during 19284929. Their value will increase as their work be- comes more closely organized. The Employment Committee under the chairmanship of Burt Rich ' ardson, G.S. ' 25, has circularized the student body with a questionnaire relative to the professional interest of the students. Chapel sections and conferences have been arranged and carried out with a view to helping students decide just what they individually wish to make a life work. Particular work has been done with the members of the Senior class dur ' ing the last two months of the school year in the matter of making deci ' sions and of actual placements. The foundation of this committee work was laid down by a committee under the leadership of Harold McClellan ' 22, organized and functioning for the last two years. The emphasis of the contact committee was changed this year from the employment work, now handled by a separate committee above men ' tioned, to the problem of interesting the alumni in the events that were going on on the campus and of at least beginning to seek to establish the college among the alumni as a center of educational and cultural interest. This latter work is only a small part of the whole problem of continuing alumni relations, a problem which is increasingly claiming the attention of college and alumni administration all over the United States. The Occi ' dental Alumni Association is earnestly seeking to discover by what means it can best acquire and foster the interest of an increasingly large group of alumni in the activities of the college, so that not only will the college reap the benefit of this close interest but that the alumni themselves may look to the college for cultural stimulation. This problem is an intangible one, one personal to each association and one whose successful solution does much for the whole college family. [127} ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OFFICERS R.

Tu Fu ATHIpBTie! m THE GREAT YEAR 013 WADO S lengthening on the trodden turf of a battle- scarred field . . . ten thousand frenzied spectators crying hoarsely for the coveted victory which meant the championship . . . two teams in desperate combat, one fighting to hold a slender 7-0 lead, the other to overcome it. Such was the scene which was enacted in the Rose Bowl last Thanksgiving day when the Blac and Orange of Occidental met the Blue of Po- mona in a contest to decide the wearer of the Southern Conference football crown. Down in the dressing-rooms after the game, little Eddie Kienholz hovered over his happy warriors and told them what a great game they had played, his voice barely carrying above the din of the yelling which echoed and reechoed across the stadium. The Tigers were champions. It was perhaps some three months later that the bas etball team, with a string of eight straight wins, encountered Whtttrer in a two-game championship series. With a dramatic flourish that would have put the writer of the wildest college story to shame, the Bengal five tied the count in the last second of play, after having trailed the Poets all evening. Then, in the extra period, three Tiger tosses found their way through the hoop for six points and victory. In the return game, Kienholz s men stormed their way through the Whittier defense for a second win and the bas etball title. The Tigers were again champions. Led by Captain Ben Gorchokoff, Occ idental ' s tennis team decisively defeated every Pacific Coast Conference team in California, the only set-bac encountered be- ing at the hands of the Stanford netmen, with whom a series was divided. Returning to the home courts, the Orange and Black swept the Southern Conference with ridic- ulous facility. The Tigers were champions a third time. Coach Pipal ' s cinderpath team early showed promise of great things, practice meets being captured in convincing fashion. With the opening of the Conference sea- son, it at once became apparent that the battle for honors would again be between Pomona and Occidental. When the day of the big meet at last arrived, the Tigers dis- played a dazzling burst of speed on the track marvelous s ll in the field. The Sage- hens were cut out of the picture and the Tigers were pronounced Conference cham- pions for a fourth time. Then, with the coming of spri7-ig, came the crac of bat against ball and the voices of umpires with their throaty decisions. Occidental, always a power in base- ball, again demonstrated her prowess on the diamond, decisive victories over both con- ference and non- conference competition being recorded. And the closing game of the season, a fitting climax to a great year, found the championship laurels resting once more on the stalwart shoulders of the sons of Occidental. J [131} s Hardy, Bird.

Coach Kienholz first came into prominence when he turned out a series of state championship teams at Long Beach Polytechnic High School. At Occidental his labors have brought nothing but honor and glory to himself, his teams and the college. The 1928-29 athletic season saw two Tiger teams, football and basketball, both coached by Kienholz;, win the Southern Conference crown. The First String J [138] . ? -ij - ?i. Anderson, Mishkin, Kienholz T. HE fortunes of war are often determined by the men who direct the attack rather than by the actual attackers themselves. On Oxy ' s field of battle during the past season, the Tiger warriors fought in inspired fashion, reflecting the spirit of the men who guided them in the planning but who remained on the sidelines during the fray. Coach Kienholz played his cards well, and was aided greatly by the work of Bill Anderson, whose expert knowledge of football was invaluable. Solly Mishkin handled the Freshman team this season, developing material for varsity competition. •• ■ IE The Tiger Legion [139] s Top Row: Wri iht. Amierson, Williamson. Cuthbcn. Work, Kllswojth.

A VARSITY FOOTBALL LTHOUGH he was already known to Occidental through his frosh football and varsity basketball efforts, Coach Eddie Kienhoh made him- self well known to the world at large last fall by coaching his first varsity football team to a conference championship, and the first one that Occidental has had for three years. Blessed with a wealth of material, and aided by the fact that most of the men knew his system, Eddie proceeded to cut a wide swath in gridiron circles. _ His outfit took on and scored fiftynine points ' ' ' ' i ' w against two teams in the same afternoon; less than a week later forty points were run up against La Verne. One of the best showings of the season was made against Whittier, who succumbed in a thrilling game played in the Rose Bowl. Following this effort. Southern California was met and held scoreless for most of the game, an unfortunate inci ' dent paving the way for three Trojan tallies. Suf- fering a mental and physical let-down from this con- test, the Tigers sustained their only conference defeat at the hands of Cal-Tech. Pomona was beaten 7-0 in the championship game. The Hawaii game, , „ held at Honolulu, was a veritable slaughter, the Johnny Eberhardt t . . .  « Captain Ueans winnmg 32-0. . [140} - frSwSl 1 mk SCHWEIZER SCORES A TOUCHDOWN PASADENA J. C, SANTA ANA J. C, LA VERNE ( CHEDULING a double-header for the first Saturday of the season. Occidental took on Pasadena and Santa Ana junior colleges, defeating the Pasadena team 40 ' 0 in the second encounter and winning from Santa Ana, 19-7 in the opener. The reserves, who played most of the first frame, had by far the most difficult order to fill, for they were up against a fast and shifty outfit, as the score would indicate. The whole squad received a work ' out during the afternoon, many of those who played in the first game holding over and playing in the second also. On the fol ' lowing Friday, La Verne was met in the opening conference fracas. The beginning of the 1928 race for conference honors was most auspicious for the Bengals, as they subdued the Leopards with the help of almost every man on the bench. As they ap- peared that day, it seemed doubtful if any team in the conference would be able to stop the Tigers. The plays were run off like clockwork, and one could visualize the team as it would be when fin- ished off with a few more touches of Eddie Kien- holz ' s master hand. Captain Johnny Eberhart, con- tinuing in his role of high-scorer, accounted for three tallies while Ward Schweizer smashed through , „ . , . . • 1 • 11 Allan De Hoag with a pair of touchdowns in his usual style. Captain-elect J I 141 ] m Oxy Stops an Aztlc Onslaught SAN DIEGO T . HE San Diego game was conceded by most critics as the crucial one for the Tigers, even though it was only their second start of the year. The A2;tecs were met on their home field before a great crowd of South ' ern California sympathizers who had nothing but ra2;2;berries for the vis ' itors. To offset this somewhat, about three hundred Occidental students and faculty made the journey to the southern city, and made their pres ' ence heard. The whole show on San Diego ' s side were Captain Kenny Johnson and Art Wilson, their great fullback. These boys plowed through the Tiger line for nine and ten yards per smack, rivalling Occidental ' s pile driving fullback and captain. Jack Schweizer and Johnny Eberhardt. Ward Schweizer and Glenn Rozelle both had field days, accounting for much of their team ' s yardage, while Jack Schweizer ' s punting was all that could be asked. Toward the end of the second quarter San Diego was presented with their lone tally in the form of a penalty which carried the ,,, c T e ball to the one-yard line.

STOPrni) WHITTIER T: HIS game gave ample revenge for the unlooked ' for defeat of last year at the hands of the Poets. Ward Schweizer played his best game of the season, practically running wild and accounting for nearly half of the team ' s yardage, While Ro2,y Rozelle was doing almost as much damage. Whittier had a big and willing outfit, but they were not equal to the task of subduing the fast ' traveling Bengals, who played one of their best games. The squad rang up a total of some 330 yards. Ward and Ro2;y together made 241 yards of the total, while Jack Schwei2;er outpunted Captain Weaver of the Poets, all afternoon. Anybody on the coast would have had to stretch to keep up with him. The threatened attack of speed from Whittier in the persons of George, Walker, and Payne, failed complete ly to materialize, the Occidental backs leaving them flat or overhauling them and bringing them down as the case happened to be. When the smoke of battle blew away Occidental reposed on the long end of a 19-7 count. Ted Ellsworth Right Tackle Glenn Rozelle Right Halfback [143] m The Tigers gain thirty yards on a pass SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA y HEN the Southern CaHfomia contest came around, the whole campus was agog with the possibiHty of knocking over the wooden Horse of Troy, for every loyal Tiger rooter was firmly convinced that the 1928 varsity of the Orange and Black would take the Trojans by storm. As things turned out, the Bengals very nearly did that little thing. The game started out most auspiciously but later three disasters occurred to the Oxy squad. Ward Schweizer, Jerry Chap- pell, and Buddy Collier were taken out with injuries. In spite of the han- dicaps the Tigers held the Trojans scoreless for two and a half quarters. Just as Occidental was making good yardage the crowning blow was struck. A loose ball from center was grabbed by McCaslin and taken to a touchdown. During the momentary letdown which the boys suffered as a result, the Trojans scored two more, and the game ended 19 ' 0 in favor of Troy. The great fight put up by the team as a whole and Walt Coultas, Johnny Eberhardt, Bud Collier, Rozy Rozelle, and Ed Beebe in particular made that one fumble less disappoint- Ed Beebe Left Tackle Wendell Smith Right End mg. [144] . T % Engineering an Advance CALTECH HE Tiger cup of woe was filled to overflowing as Occidental was trampled on by the Dirty Engineers to the count of 1 3 ' 7 in a nightmare of fumbles on the part of the Bengals and a brilliant game of fight on the part of Tech. It was plain to all that the team representing the Tigers that day was not the one which played U. S. C. or Whittier or San Diego. Tech ' s cleverly executed passing attacks caught the Tigers flat ' footed time and again, despite the great efforts of Captain Eberhardt. Oxy did not score until the second quarter, and then later in the same period was on the way to a cinch touchdown when a turning point occurred. Someone had the ball and had cracked through for a good part of the distance when the pigskin was seen to fly from the melee to be scooped up by Shields of Tech and taken ninety-three yards to a Beaver tally and a tie score. Occi ' dental strove fiercely to overcome the damage, Rozelle repeatedly making wonderful gains. These efforts were to no avail, being cancelled by costly fumbles. So it was that Tech trounced the Tigers, the conference champions. Walt Coultas Center Bud Collier Fullback [145] T. A Horde of Redskins Quail Before the Tiger REDLANDS HE week following the disaster against California Tech saw the Tiger varsity engaging Redlands on the latter ' s home field. In spite of their surprise showing against Pomona, Kienholz; did not take the Bull ' dogs very seriously, starting his second team. In a very short time Redlands demonstrated thoroughly that the spurt against the Sagehens had not been due to carelessness on the part of the Blue and White. Before the game was well under way, the Redlands eleven ran up two scores against the Bengals, whereupon Kienholz; put in his first team. Even at that the Tiger steamroller did not begin to function until the second half. After an exciting Hurry, Occidental staged a victorious come- back, the final gun show- ing the score to be 40-13 in favor of the Tigers. Art Elliot and Dick Glover grasped their opportunity and made an excellent showing in the absence of Ward Schweizer and Bud Collier, who were injured in the Southern California game. Beebe and Eberhardt played their usual brand of football. Jerry Chappeli. Center Howard Marsh Left Guard N. [146] B A Clash of Wills and Wits POMONA c T is a well ' known fact and hide ' bound tradition that the Pomona game is never a certain affair. This year did not disprove the rule, for Pomona was conceded a better chance to coming out ahead, and they nearly did. It was without doubt the most brilliant conference contest of the season, the Sagehens at one time coming within three feet of changing the score. Captain Johnny Eberhardt closed his gridiron career in a blaze of glory, being easily the outstanding player on the field. He carried the ball for a net gain of ninety-two yards in twenty tries. Closely rivaling Johnny was Ward Schwei2;er, who played only the first half but who, in that time, carried the pigskin from the thirtytwo yard hne across the goal in successive plays. During the second half the Tigers were on the defensive most of the time. Once the Sage- hens were on the two-yard line with four downs to go, but the Bengals rose to the occasion and repulsed the attack. The game ended 7-0, and Occidental was champion.

The squad worked out both that day and Friday, the game being on Saturday. The first half was well played, although the rainbow division scored an unconverted touchdown after ten minutes, largely through the efforts of Holt, who played a great game. Shortly after- wards the Bengals had the first of two chances for tallying. They had driven well down the field when a pass was tossed to Smith over the goal line.

Hard hit by injuries and ineligibiHties at the first of the season, the team fought with its back to the wall most of the time. Under the coaching of Solly Mishkin, Oxy satellite of a couple of years ago, the peagreeners were moulded into a team that after a number of upsets, played the notorious Pomona frosh to a standstill in a thrilling game. In the first game of the year the strong Glendale J. C. outfit was held to a scoreless tie in a game devoid of any outstanding play ing. Against Redlands, the Tiger kittens rose up and smote the bull pups to the score of 7 ' 6. Bob Blee was the star of this game, almost single handed, he bucked the ball fifty yards down the field for a touchdown. The vicious tackling of Harold Wanless also was com- mendable. Following this the team was bumped twice in succession by Compton and Fullerton Junior Colleges. One Down, One To Go rno] Captain Ketchersid Coach Kienholz Captain-elect Beebe VARSITY BASKETBALL MILING Eddie Kienhok brought to Occidental her second confer ' ence championship of the year when his ' 29 varsity squad won first place. For three years Eddie has been out for the conference flag and this year his efforts have been well rewarded. The cheerfulness, optimism, enthusiasm, and fight which arc so much a part of Coach Kienholz ' s character were instilled into each man, with the result that a team which duly embodied the spirit of Occidental represented the Tigers in their successful season. Small but mighty was the man who led the varsity to its basketball championship. Uncanny speed on the floor, a dead-eye shot coupled with a barrel of fight were the charac- teristics of Captain Ernie Ketcher- sid. Ernie has a great year to look back upon and can be justly proud of the team he captained. No less plucky was Captain-elect Ed Beebe. Beside being all-conference guard Ed might well have been all-confer- ence forward, having aspired to high point man in a number of games. Next year ' s season will look good with Beebe at the helm. The First String J [152} s Ellsworth, Ketchersid, Beebe, Murray, Dimter, Getts, Walker, McAllister, Glover, Baird, Elliot, Kienhoh T. THE SEASON HE varsity basketball season this year is one that the Occidental fan can look back upon and view with the keenest satisfaction and joy. The reason is that the battling Bengals won the undisputed championship of the Southern Conference, going through the tough schedule without the loss of a single game. In fact the only setback of the year came in a prac tice tilt with the University of Southern California. Whittier, who tied Occidental for the championship last year, was soundly thumped twice. Pomona was also forced to accept the small end of the score in a pair of contests. Redlands and La Verne, boasting their strongest squads in years, entered the den of the Tigers and were promptly consumed as after the manner of all Tiger massacres. San Diego and Cal-Tech, the remaining members, were also sadly defeated. Captain Ernie Ketchersid and his hardy team ' mates showed the con ' ference a clean, enthusiastic, fight- ing brand of basketball that was a tribute to the coaching efforts of Coach Kienholz and a credit to The Squad in Action Occidental. I [153} Ed Bfebe Guard (T. Ted Ellsworth Guard Conference Champions Bob Getts Center . HE Bengal Varsity showed real class and a great fighting spirit dur ' ing the 1929 season. Aided by the enthusiasm and skill of Coach Eddie Kienhok, they captured the undisputed championship of the Southern Conference, playing nine league games without suffering a single set-back. Interest in basketball was at a feverpitch at Occidental from the very start, over twenty men turning out for the team. Included in this number were five lettermen from last year — Getts, Beebe, Baird, Ellsworth, and Ketcher- sid; Dimter from the frosh squad also put in an appearance. This able group of players was further strengthened by a transfer in the person of Abe Elliot. Pre-Season Tilts In a preliminary season the Tigers met the Los Angeles Athletic Club, The Alhambra Athletic Club and Lincoln High School. The collegiate hoopsters defeated the L. A. A. C. by a large score with Ketchersid leading the attack. Against the Alhambra aggregation Occidental rang up twenty eight points and a victory, the work of Elliot, Getts, and Dimter being especially noteworthy. In both of these games the Tiger five gave evidence of the championship form they were to display when the regular confer- ence season opened. Lincoln High School was defeated with facility in the remaining preliminary game. The only defeat of the year was suffered at the hands of the Southern California five in a mid-season game. [154] % nRMi: KhTCHlRSlD Forward Abe Elliot Forward Walt Murray Guard % The Cal ' Tech Series HE Cal ' Tech Engineers provided the initial bit of conference compc tition for the Terrible Tigers, invading Alumni Gymnasium only to be turned away by the overwhelming score of 48-22. The Technicians were rapidly snowed under by a deluge of baskets, Occidental breaking into a lO ' O lead in the first five minutes. At half-time the score was 18-8 in favor of the Kienholz; clan. Captain Ketchersid, Bob Getts and Ted Ellsworth were the leading scorers of the day. In the return game, the Tigers defeated the Engineers with facility at Pasadena. The score assumed practically the same proportions of that of the first encounter. Kramers did the best work for the Beavers while Getts and Elliott paved the way for the Occidental triumph with some stellar playing. La Verne A week after the initial Cal ' Tech affair, the La Verne Leopards stormed the Occidental campus with high hopes for a victory. That their hopes were not without reason is shown by the final score of 43-32. Oxy won but the game was not in the bag until the closing whistle. Gaining an overwhelming lead in the first few minutes, the Tigers led at half-time, 22-11, but received a decided scare in the next period. La Verne suddenly came to life to score as many points as did the Tigers in this round. Beebe, Elliot, Baird and McAllister were the Occidental stars. [155] m Larry Dimtlr Forward Rl-.NNV Vl ' ALKtR Guard lill.k GLUVtR Forward Redlands JLV-EDLANDS turned its Bulldogs loose on Oxy in the third conference game. The largest crowd of the year saw the out ' of ' town team put up an awful battle for victory in the Tiger gym. Playing a whirlwind type of basketball, the visitors lead the Bengal five, 26 ' 25, up until the very closing minute of the game. A mighty effort at this point netted two Oxy baskets and a hard ' won victory. It was a tough one for Redlands to lose, but that Occidental fight at the finish was not to be denied. The final score was 29 ' 26. Beiden and Phelps did the most damage for the Bulldogs, shooting baskets from all angles, while the Oxy stars were Bob Getts and Ted Ells- worth. San Diego During the vacation between semesters the A2;tecs from San Diego State met Occidental on the Glendale High School floor. The team from the southern city had been highly touted as a dangerous opponent, but the Tigers turned the engagement into a rout, winning easily, the final count being 5 44 6. At the end of the first half Coach Kienhoh ' s men were out in front, 20-9. In the second period the substitute varsity took the floor and ran away with the game. In this round the San Diego team rang up but seven markers while the Occidental second ' Stringers were tallying thirty- four. V ilson and Carr played well for the A2;tecs. Baird, Glover, Ellsworth and Getts starred for Occidental. [156] Jimmy Baird Center LYLI- McAi I I Tl K Guard The Pomona Series Ted Ellsworth Manager GK, .HE first Pomona game was played at Glendale High School. As usual the Sagehens put up a good fight, but they were conquered by a 43 ' 32 score in a ragged game. Elliot, Beebe, and Lyle McAllister starred for the Eagle Rock quintet. Putnam was high point man for Pomona. A week later the Occidental squad marched out to Claremont to repeat their victory of the previous Saturday. At one time the Sagehens were leading by a 13 ' 4 score, but Occidental came to life with a rush and tallied 45 markers at closing time. Pomona, however, made it mighty uncomfortable, having thirty-eight points at the finish. Putnam again proved to be the Sagehen star, while Glover, who was high ' point man, starred with Murray, McAllister and Baird. Lyle showed up well at standing guard, taking the place of Ted Ellsworth who had graduated at the mid-year. The Whittier Series Whittier came to Eagle Rock for the first of two games. A sup ' posedly weak and inferior Poet team outfought and outshot the Oxy Tigers throughout the game. With the Poets leading by ten points just a few minutes before the end, Oxy pulled the game out of the fire by- tying things up 24 ' 24. In the extra period, three Oxy baskets ended the nightmare, 50 ' 24 in the Bengals ' favor. The second game was won by the Tigers, 38 ' 31. The last game of the year, it gave Occidental the confer ' ence crown and ended the college basketball careers of Ernie Ketchersid, Bob Getts, Ken Walker and Jim Baird. [157] Blee, Noble, Snedden. Gustovitch, King, Hunt, Richert, Shumaker, Ck)ach Ai.ucijuu FRESHMEN BASKETBALL u Captain Gustovitch k NDER the able coaching of Bill Anderson, the Frosh basketball squad won the Southern Con- ference championship. After winning practice games from several high schools, among them Puente and Franklin, the pea ' green hoopsters went through the Conference season with only one defeat, that at the hands of Pomona in the last minute of play. Due to the fact that the Bengal frosh had played more Conference games than the Pomona frosh, the former were awarded the championship. Too much cannot be said of the development of these men dur ' ing the course of the season, and of the splendid efforts of Coach Anderson. Captain Gustovitch, Blee, Snedden, Hunt, Noble, Olson, Shumaker, King, and Richert composed this year ' s yearling squad. All of these men look like red hot prospects for next year ' s varsity team, if they come through with the real fight they showed during the past season. At the beginning of the year various remarks were made about the campus con- cerning the apparent hopelessness of the Frosh basketball squad. But hard work on the part of coach and players produced a team that defeated San Diego State and Redlands by overwhelming scores, and showed an excellent all-round game against La Verne and Pomona. [158} Captain Goodheart Coach Pipal VARSITY TRACK Captain-Elect Appleton X ' Ny HEN the rest of the Southern Conference hears that Occidental is blessed with a very unpromising crop of Freshmen tracksters, they take heart and hope for a successful siege against the mighty Pipal strong- hold. This does not seem to phase Timberwolf Joe , who can make a champion out of almost anyone who is willing to try his methods. Rudd Crawford, Wendell Smith, George Hall, Ed Carrey, and Ivan Belman are just a few of Coach Joe Pipal ' s hand-made champions. Of the last eight teams coached by Pipal, only two failed to win the conference crown. This year the squad was incalculably strength ' ened and inspired by its great captain, W. Berle Goodheart. He was with ' out question the outstand ' ing middle distance man in Southern California if not in the state. Next year ' s captain is an equally accom- plished man. Fred Apple- ton, star 440 and relay man, gives promise of another glorious season. Another Tape Broken [160} I m % Standing: Coach Pipal , MuUard, Dixon, Crawford, Ruth.

The squad enjoyed the distinction of being predicted the winner, barring accidents. The Tigers went through an undefeated season of four conference struggles and the conference meet, all won by generous figures. Coach Pipal was much cheered by the appearance of almost all of last year ' s winners. Among these were Captain Goodheart, Wen- dell Smith, George Hall, Don Imler, Charles Ruth, Fred Appleton and a num- ber of others. The team was reinforced by the sud- den improvement of Ed Carrev, javelin thrower, and Rudd Crawford, two- miler, and the addition of Cecil Howard of Compton in the sprints.

The former mark was held by Herman Fagley at a distance of 17? feet 2 inches. Carrey ' s toss went 176 , feet. The next meet gave Coach Pipal ' s men a 93-47 victory over the slide-rule youths of Tech. Ed Carrey again won the javelin, and Fred Appleton made his debut as the official Bengal 440 man, winning in good time. The next public appearance of the Orange and Black forces was in the annual A.A.U. Relays held in the Los Angeles Coliseum. Pipal entered two relay teams in the conference class. Both won their races, the four-man half-mile team setting a new A.A.U. record of 1:30.6. Six feet gave George Hall fourth place in the high jump.

It was in this meet that Rudd Crawford showed promise of being the premier leather ' lunger of the conference. Resuming relations with the U.C.L. A.

The meet was featured by Fred Appleton ' s 51.8 quarter mile victory, Goodheart ' s time of 2:02 in the 880, the tie between Hall of Oxy and Gill of California at six feet two inches and HalFs subsequent new school record of six feet three and one ' fourth inches, and above all, C rawford ' s spectacular victory of fifty yards in the two-mile over Waite, the Bruin ace. After a week of preparation, the Bengals traveled out to Claremont for the deciding engagement of the season. If the Crawford Takes The Two-mile Tigers won the meet, the flag was theirs; [163] Dick Glover Keith Belman Cecil Howard if they lost, the result hung between Pomona and San Diego. Oxy started strong, with Goodheart and Imler finishing one-two in the mile, and Apple ' ton and Fairbanks repeating the stunt in the 440. Wendell Smith won the shot and then ran the fastest hurdle races of his life, copping the highs in 15.2 and the lows in 24.4. To make the day complete, Pipal uncorked a relay team and won a hair ' raiser from the Sagehens in the fastest time of the year — 3:25 seconds, thus defeating the Pomona relay quartet for the eighth straight year. As a breather before the all ' confer ' ence meet, the S.C. Trojans were met in what was to have been a benefit for the eastern track fund, featured by a race be tween Nick Carter ' 26 and Paavo Nurmi of Finland. A snowstorm kept the Finn in Salt Lake so the meet was held without him. In the all ' conference meet, held in the Coliseum, the Bengals scored 60 points to win, Pomona being in second position with 47 y-i . The Orange and Black took six out of sixteen blue ribbons, with Goodheart ' s 4:32.6 second miles and 1.59.8 second half mile being the feature. Fairbanks Beats French [164] = c?

The Bengal relay team firmly established its supremacy by winning in the fast time of 3:25.2. By virtue of their efforts eight Tigers went north with the all-confer ence team to meet Stanford. Following the northern engagement, a squad was sent east to Kansas and Drake to rep- resent Occidental, the men making the trip being Captain Goodheart, Crawford, Imler, Ruth, Belman, Howard, Appleton, Hall and Smith. Hall and Smith were in- dividual entries while the others composed relay teams. In spite of continual rain, the relay team took a close second in the Drake sprint medley and Wendell Smith placed fourth in the open decathlon. In the sprint medley, Goodheart ran his 880 in 1:57. Appleton had the misfortune to fall and break his collar-bone during one of the races. .: -=Si;i Pipal loses Goodheart, Imler and Ruth by graduation.

[165] The Frosh Squad FRESHMAN TRACK o CCI DENTAL was represented this year by a fighting squad of peagreen tracksters whose only fault lay in a woeful lack of numbers. The material at the beginning of the season looked very promising, but due to several adverse circumstances, very few men finished the season. Practice meets were held with several high school, and there was one confer ' ence meet with Cal-Tech, won by the Beaver babes by a decisive score. Robert McKee I the all ' conference meet held on the Engin ' Captain ecrs ' oval, McDonald and Bill Lewis tied for first place in the high jump, Bill Nord nabbed third in the hall-mile, Castenholt2; coasted to a third in the century and Bob Blee grabbed a second in the pole vault. Tom Richert also took fourth place in the javelin. Captain Bob McKee, a fine distance prospect, had a bit of hard luck in the form of a bad stone bruise which kept him out of com- petition. When track season rolls around again next year, several of the frosh should be valuable additions to Coach Pipal ' s varsity. Pipal, with his long coaching experience, always seems able to mould ordinary material into finer stuff. Next year should be no exception. [166] Coach Wilkie Clark Captain Warner Hunt VARSITY BASEBALL Coach Wilkie Clark, Occidental ' s veteran diamond mentor, and Cap- tain Warner Hunt led the 1929 baseball squad to its habitual championship this year. Last year the flag was surrendered to Whittier, the Tigers be- ing forced to finish second. For three years in succession before that the cup had rested in the Bengal trophy case, and it again rests there with the bright prospects of doing so next year. Coach Clark is the recognized genius of Occidental ball teams, having taken the reigns some eight years ago when the teams weren ' t worth shaking a stick at and turned out a championship nine. The flag was dropped the next year, but was then held again for three years, as mentioned, until the Whittier outfit proved itself a bet ter match than the rest of the conference. Again this year, of all years, when Occidental has battled her way to the crown in every other major sport. Coach Clark has brought the athletic year to a glorious close with his fifth championship in eight years. A story of the accomplishments of Captain Warner Hunt would be no less brilliant than the record of the entire team. Hunt was largely respon- sible for the great work of his men in winning eight games and losing none. He ranked third on the squad ' s batting list as well as holding a high point among the conference hitters. The vacancy that will be left by Hunt next year will be hard to fill, his spirit of leadership and good sportsmanship having been felt by every member of the team.

The Tigers, due to lack of co ' operation and erratic and uncertain fielding, failed to win a single game of the series, the S. C. team emerging victor three times. Coming just before the opening of Oxy ' s conference schedule, these defeats seemed to indicate impending disaster. The initial contest was to be played against Whittier, and the possibility of a Tiger victory seemed small. However, the opening game was a distinct triumph for the Bengals, the Poets being unable to solve the offerings of Al De Hoag, star southpaw on Clark ' s nine. The defending cham ' pions were submerged by a score of 9 ' 3 in a game which was featured by the stellar playing of the entire Orange and Black nine. Adams Clouts a Sharp Line Drive J [169} m Al De Hoag Pitcher Launch Millar First Base Harry Munz Pitcher The following week, just to prove that their fine playing of the pre ' vious game was not a fluke, the Bengals turned out and flayed U. C. L. A. by the ama2;ing tally of 21 ' 4. Wild Bill Charnock handled the delivery in this contest, doing a very nice job of it. Ck nsiderably heartened, the Tigers stepped up to the Caltech Engineers, who had high hopes of silencing the big guns of the Bengal offense, and sent the technicians home smarting under a 9 ' 0 lacing. Al De Hoag starred with great brilli ' ance, letting the visitors down with but two hits and no runs. De Hoag struck out nine men, and did a little stick work of his own by smashing out a triple and a single in three trips to the plate. Al wasn ' t the only one to land on Pitcher Reed of Tech. Maurice Nathan, better known as Slug , established himself as the local Babe Ruth by accounting for two home runs and a single in three times at bat. His batting all through the season was sensational. The so ' called critical encounter with the La Verne Leopards failed to materiali2,e, and the Tigers emerged from the fray victorious. The box score read Occidental 7, La Verne 3. A feature of the game was Lou Singer ' s rise to fame as a batsman. He was consistency itself all season as a fielder and second-baseman, but had difficulty in finding the ball when batting. In the La Verne game, however, he went on a tear , getting a double and two singles in five times at bat. These crucial games meant nothing to the Tiger ball players. The game with the Leopards was widely characterized as critical , and every writer agreed that the Redlands ' Oxy contest was to be the one on which the championship depended. The game J [170] Hum- U W r 1 1 Mike Hunt Right Field Louis Singer Second Base Jimmy Baird Pitcher however, failed to live up to advance notices. The Bulldogs must have suffered from stage fright or something similar, for they went down to the tune of 15 ' 2, which is generally considered a rather lop ' sided score. Glenn Ro2,elle came in for his share of the glory by clouting out two triples with the bases full, while De Hoag fanned ten men to run his strike ' out record to fortyone for four games. In the return game with Whittier, the Bengals engaged in the prizie contest of the year. It was a real thriller — Solly Mishkin, Bud Teachout and Les Haserot ? Co. couldn ' t have furnished better ball. For eight tense innings the two nines battled back and forth on an even footing. In the first of the ninth inning Whittier came to bat with the score dead ' locked at O ' O. Jertberg reached the initial sack on an error and scrambled to sec ond when De Hoag let loose a wild pitch. A sacrifice bunt sent him to third but he was put out at home on an attempted squee2;e ' play. Another error and a walk filled the bases with two out. Billy Adams dropped an infield fly to let the first run of the game cross the home plate. Gate over ' ran third to retire the side. The fighting Bengals, with one run against them, went to bat in their half of the ninth with a determination to win. Hunt, Rozelle and Nathan were up in that order. Hunt reached first base on a hit and immediately stole second. Rozelle followed with a sharp grounder which scored the runner and tied up the count. With vie tory almost within their grasp, the Oxy team begged Nathan, who was next at bat, to come through with a hit. Nathan obliged by sending a [171} m ' imMt Bill Adams Third Base Stony Johnson Catcher Larry Dimter Short-stop scorching single into left field, Ro2;elle scoring. The game ended then and there, the Bengals victorious, 24, in the most exciting game of the year. It was in this game that De Hoag pitched such excellent ball that the Poets got but one hit. Rozelle furnished the fielding classic of the year in the same game. It weis in the seventh inning, two men were on base and there were two outs. Krantz, the heavy hitter of the Whittier team, was at bat. Krantz connected with what looked like a perfect hit. Ro elle, however, seemed to think differently, for he sprinted madly toward the rapidly-descending ball, made a beautiful swan dive, stuck out his glove in the general direction of the ball, caught it and landed in a heap on his neck, the baseball clutched firmly in his glove. It was the most remarkable fielding episode of the season. Against the Aztec diamond artists from San Diego, the Oxy Bengals played good ball in a rather listless game and won out, 8 ' 2. There were no highlights to the fray, the southern team failing to live up to advance notices regarding their ability and prowess. The game acted as a breather for the Tigers. In the return game with Caltech, the Occidental nine registered its eighth straight victory of the season. The slide-rule boys were unable to solve the ofi erings of the Bengal hurler, while the Bengals hit the ball with facility and turned in a good day in the field. [172] © Glenn Rozelle Maurice Nathan Larry Smith Center Field Left Field Dick Tavenner Managers Combining good fielding and timely hitting behind the excellent pitch ' ing of Al De Hoag, Coach Wilkie Clark ' s team took the measure of Pomona in a game which was exciting in spite of the one-sided score. The Bengals won 11 ' 2, but the Sagehens never ceased fighting. It was a game well worth watching. Nathan, Dean, Dimter and Singer provided the fielding sensations of the day. The first named made two marvelous catches, picking one of Lee Williams ' drives out of the ether in the eighth inning and making a one ' handed catch of Ingram ' s drive in the seventh. Dean, Pomona center ' fielder, robbed Dimter of a double when the former plucked another drive almost off the bleachers in the second round. Dimter in turn caught a diffi ' cult high foul in back of third base. Singer turned in the best effort of the day when he stopped Hartman ' s scorcher in back of first base. Rozelle, who had been in a batting slump, arose to the occasion and banged out a double and two singles for batting honors. Nathan, by hit ' ting a pair of singles, ran his string of games in which he had hit safely to fourteen. For the season Al De Hoag struck out eightyfive men aiid had only two runs per game scored against him. With the championship safely tucked away. Tiger fans look forward to another flag in 1930, for only four men graduate — Captain Hunt, Glenn Rozelle, Launce Millar and Walt Coultas. [173] Thk Frosh Squad FRESHMAN BASEBALL HEN one of the smallest and most inexperi ' enced squads in years turned out for Freshman Base ' ball, Coach Bill Anderson faced the problem of building a team that would represent the Class of 1932 on the diamond. So well did he do his job that the club went through the season winning eleven games, losing ten and tying for one. By virtue of de ' cisive victories over Caltech and Pomona and a forfeiture by La Verne, the yearlings annexed the mythical championship of the conference. Captain Ti-fferteller rT i 11 11 1 111 Ine team played an unusually heavy schedule of games, winning from Glendale, South Pasadena, and El Segundo High Schools, and dropping contests to Hollywood, Frank- lin, Monrovia, and Puente. The Baby Tigers established what should be known as a new world ' s record by running up a total of forty-eight points in the Pomona and Caltech games. They won the former struggle by a score of 22-21 and the latter by 26-11. Captain Tefferteller, Turner, and Brown were the outstanding men on the squad. The entire team deserves a great deal of credit for their trium- phant stand in spite of the handicap of small numbers. ri74} [176] VARSITY TENNIS iLyCCIDENTAL enjoyed a successful tennis season this year, retaining the Southern Conference championship for the third consecutive time in addition to defeating Southern California, Stanford, California at Los Angeles and California at Berkeley. The team walt2;ed through its con ' ference schedule without a defeat. Prospects of winning the title for the fourth consecutive time are exceptionally bright, since four of the five lettermen will be back on the campus again. These four are Captain ' elect Lee Osborne, Dale Robin ' son, Frank Gove and Arthur Kussman. The single loss sustained by the Tiger contingent is Captain Ben Gorchakoff, three-year man, twice a national inter-collegiate finalist at Philadelphia and thrice the State singles champion at Ojai. Competition among the players on the team was very keen in the past season. Gorchakoff headed the squad consistently as number one singlist, but many times allowed the second player a chance in his place. Kussman and Gove alternated at second and third positions at the start of the year until Gove defeated Kussman in a third and final challenge tilt. Osborne was fourth and Robinson fifth, although this pair likewise alter- nated in various meets. Gorchakoff and Gove finished the year undefeated in the eight collegiate tilts; Kussman lost a single contest, while Osborne and Robinson were conquered only on rare occasions. [177] i- ' -r: ' - «s ' ' -.-,4.w . :i ; ii ft ■ The loss of Ben Gorchakoff IS a tough blow to the Tigers. His work has been the making of ten ' nis at Occidental since his advent into the Oxy halls as a Freshman in 1926. In that year he won the State crown which he has re ' tained ever since. He has success ' fully toured the east twice for the Bengals, and has made Oxy as famous in tennis as she is in track. Ben has twice captained the team to the conference title, and under the Orange and Black colors he has won numerous open touma ' ments. For the first time in tennis history at Oxy, the Stanford and Berkeley teams competed on the Bengal courts. Stanford captured one engagement 4 ' 2, but the Tigers were victorious in a return match which ended 2-1. The University of Southern California fell twice, the Tigers copping 6 -0 and 4-2. The U.C.L.A. Bruins were beaten 4 ' 2 and the Golden Bears succumbed by the same score. In Southern Conference matches, Cal-Tech was smotheerd 8 ' 1, San Diego fell 9 ' 0, and Pomona took a 7 ' 2 trimming. A fitting climax to the season was the sound spanking administered Pomona by the Terrible Tigers in the closing play of the year. With the conference crown at stake, the Orange and Black swept to the front with a rush, losing only one match, that being the second doubles. Tennis at Occidental was a real success, the championship being the fourth of the athletic year, football, basketball, and track championships being the others. Arthur Kussman FRESHMAN TENNIS The Frosh had rather a hard season, playing several tie engagements with Long Beach and Glendale Junior Colleges and losing to Cal ' Tech and Pomona. William Lewis, former Harvard Military Academy star, cap ' tained the team. Other members of the squad were Chapin Bristol, Gem- mell Smith, Larry Bachman and Dick Bailey. Bristol and Lewis were the first and second singlists, while Bachman was the outstanding scorer on the team. [178} I H INTRA-MURAL ATHLETICS O: NE of the greatest objections to inter-collegiate athletics arises out of the proposition that too few are given an opportunity to take part. Many who would like to participate in competitive games are discouraged at the very outset by the fact that they do not possess the ability of the first do2,en or so players, and are therefore relegated to a place on the bench. One of the very first purposes of the intra-mural sports program at Occidental is to give as many as possible a chance to play. The 1928-29 school year witnessed a greater interest of a larger group of men, with , „, , ,i basketball, indoor baseball and track hold ' ing the limelight. Handball, tennis and i touch football were also scheduled on the program of the year. Furnishing keen competition between classes and social fraternities, the intra- mural competition was managed by Mr. Carl Trieb, of the Physical Education Department, and by Morey Smith, student manager. These two handled every detail with precision and carried on the work of arrangement in faultless fashion. In a dizzy race with Sigma Omicron, Psi Delta Chi fraternity annexed the track laurels by the slender margin of six points. The basketball championship went to Sigma Omicron, winners of a two-game play-off with Phi Gamma Delta. Indoor baseball honors were won by Alpha Tau Omega. Next year the intra-mural schedule is to be enlarged to include a greater number of sporting events. A plan has been worked out whereby the winning houses will be awarded cups for their victories in the various sports. Morey Smith I J [180] B F, Donaldson, SIoss, Schurch, Lewis, Freeman, Williamson WATER POLO IRST started at Occidental in 1926, water polo has each year had a fair representation. Having, through previous play, won for itself a place in the Pacific Coast Water Polo league, the Tiger team this year fought its way to a tie with the Los Angeles Y. M. C. A. for third place. Captained by Robert Donaldson, veteran right forward, and coached and managed by Jack Schurch, who also filled in as goalkeeper and center, the Bengal water ' dogs came through the season with a record of five wins and six set- backs. Donaldson, as captain, played his last game this year after serving capably for three consecutive seasons. He will be followed by Robert Freeman, who, though only a sophomore, was the outstanding star on both offense and defense. High point man on the squad. Freemen should turn in another stellar year of play when the sport comes around once again. Donaldson is the only member lost by graduation. In addition to Freeman, the returning men are Wayne Clauss and Leonard Janofsky, guards, and Bub WiUiamson, Red Lewis, Alfred Klein and Argyle Campbell, all of whom saw action in center and forward berths. Having received a fair start, the water polo sport should enjoy even more success and attention in the seasons to follow. Occidental should be proud of the work of its water-Bengals . [181} m % The Championship Sigma Team Smith, Beldam, Drumm, Crawford, Dorman, Van Gundy, Olsen, Beebe BASKETBALL ll_ LIMAXING a rugged series of games with their respective leagues and emerging at the pinnacle, Sigma Omicron and Phi Gamma Delta met to do or die in the final series of intra-mural basketball. In a gymnasium that was packed almost to capacity, with sororities divided among them- selves, and with yelling as riotous as would be expected at a Pomona game, five men of the Purple and Gold sallied forth to hold their own against Purple and White. As the opening whistle sounded, excitement reigned supreme. Sigma and Fiji raced the floor in a tremendous effort to bring honor to the respective brotherhood. Moments flew but no score came. Finally the ball went flying toward the Phi Gam hoop with all the pros- pects of two points. But glancing on the board it dropped to the hands of the smallest man on the floor. Olsen, of Sigma Omicron, grasped his op- portunity and like a flash dribbled through a melee of menacing opponents the entire length of the arena where he sunk a basket single handed. This seemed to inspire the whole game. Scores came rapidly, first Sigma being in the lead and then Phi Gam. When the final whistle ceased the fray, Olsen was high point man, with his brothers of Sigma leading 21 to the Phi Gam tally of li. A week later Sigma took up her battle with Phi Gamma Delta and won by the glorious score of 30-5. Sigma was champion and well on the way to the eventual intra-mural crown. [182] e E: Alpha Tau Omega Baseball Champions Standing: Green. W. Schv;eizer, Brady, Gandy, Klein. J. Davis Kneeling: Waddington, J. Schweizer, R. Davis, Charnock BASEBALL XCITEMENT reigned in the series for the intra-mural indoor base ' ba 1 championship of the 1929 season. Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma Omicron fought their way to the championship rung in their respective leagues, then met in a torrid threcgame tangle for the crown. The first game was a whirlwind, few men getting on the bases, and but one man reaching the home plate after a tour of the other three bags. Because this individual happened to be a member of the A.T.O. order, that house emerged winner in the first of the contests, I ' O. In the second affair, the Sigmas waved a nasty collection of bats and crossed up the opposing pitcher for a bushel of safe hits and sixteen runs. During this time, the A.T.O. aggregation was finding it diflScult to solve the offerings of Kenny Walker, whose bag of hurling tricks kept the enemy ' s tallies down to a lone pair. The final game, then, with the title at stake, was destined to be hotly contested. It was! With the count at 4 ' 5 against his team, Ed Beebe, the Sigma slugger, crashed out a long hit. Runner and baseball reached home at the same time, but the umpire ruled that the runner had failed to touch the plate and was therefore out, even though the catcher dropped the ball in his first attempt to touch out Beebe. Thus did the A.T.O. team win the championship. [183] B T, Hall Clears The Bar TRACK RACK champions is the monicker which adorns the Psi Delta Chi house as the result of a stirring victory on the intra ' mural cinderpath. Six lone points separated the Psi Delt tracksters from the Sigma Omicron athletes, the former garnering 39 markers to Sigma ' s 33.

In the fall a get ' to gether function was held in the form of a breakfast, at which enthusiasm for the year was kindled. Then followed the winter house party, when the air was sharp and the snow was deep at Baldy. March saw the old commons rigged up into a skating rink on which the athletically inclined braved the dangers of intermittent showers and a slippery floor. A journey was made in April to U.C.L.A. where each W.A.A. of the conference assembled for the fifth annual play day. Later a splash in the Yosemite plunge was indulged in. The spring house party at the beach wound up one of the most successful seasons the W.A.A. has ever had. J [186} Women ' s Sports T HE W.A.A. and the athletic department are most active in the pre gram of sports. A variety of athletic events throughout the year include swimming, speedball and tennis in the fall, basketball in the winter months, baseball, handball and tennis in the spring, and dancing the year round. Speedball is in its second year at Occidental. The season just past proved to be most interesting, with a series of inter ' class games holding the limelight. The Sophomores and the Freshmen were the principle con- tenders for honors, the former winning the championship after a torrid battle. The tennis program came to a close with Evelyn Maxon and Betty Williamson ready for the finals. The flu epidemic, coming at this time, gripped both players, and the deciding match never did take place. As a result, the two are still tied for honors in this sport. Both inter ' class and inter-house competition featured the basketball season. The Sophomores once more walked off with the title, leaving the upper classes and the peagreeners straggling behind. Practically this same team represented Erdman Hall, which won the inter-house tournament. The Gamma sorority team was runner-up, the deciding game being a fine exhibition of fast and skillful play. The W. a. A. at Baldy [187} The sun is behind the Green Dragon Hill; Head high it pushes out of the sea clouds and appears. We watch it together.

These groups, more or less informal in nature, and with little pomp or ceremony, have filled a definite need in college life, serving to interest the casual student and provide new fields for the determined one. All have endeavored to promote better feeling and wider acquaint ' anceship, and all have had as their chief aim, service to the college at large. [224] o THE CAMPUS SOCIETIES II N the Occidental campus, in additional to the honorary groups or- ganized to honor those who have shown special achievement in their line of work, and the professional fraternities, which bring in closer connec- tion the students and the business world, there are a number of groups which have been drawn together by common interests and bonds of good fellowship. Important among these organizations is the Young Women ' s Chris- tian Association, a group which has as its purpose the furthering of Chris- tian ideals among the women of the college. Established for some time at Occidental, the Y.W.C.A. has done a great deal for the women students and is destined to be an even greater influence with the paissing of time. The self-styled Oxy Players organized themselves into a society for the purpose of placing a greater emphasis on the drama. Carrying on from the Little Theatre point of view, the Oxy Players have produced a number of plays, among them the recent It Pays To Advertise , and have made numerous experiments of interest in the field of dramatics. Membership is hmited to those taking part in campus dramatic activities. The Laurean Literary Society is an organization limiting its member- ship to upperclass women majoring in English. The nature of the society ' s endeavor makes it a select group. Regular meetings are held featuring an interest in things literary, the business of these meetings giving the organi- zation a study club aspect. Dial Literary Society accomplishes for underclass women English majors what the Laurean Society does for the Junior and Senior group of similarly inclined. The Cosmopolitan Club fosters friendly feeling among the various nationalities of the college. An international aspect appears as the different nations of the world are represented. Regular meetings are held, with speakers of note touching on subjects of general interest to all members. The Club has as its purpose the well-being of the different peoples of the college. The Student Volunteers are those members of the college who are pre- paring to devote their lives to Christian endeavor and the furthering of Christian ideals. [225} s Y. W. C. A.

Tu Fu FBATURI) m m THE TEAR Being certain impressions of the passing year tabulated neither chronologically nor accurately , hut as seen through the eyes of various people. A TEAR BEGlJiS As a Freshman Watches 2 RRIVED at college today. After opening my trunk and set- tling down temporarily, I wan- dered through the College Union that is halfway completed. Some upperclassman told me it ought to be ready for use about the end of O c t o b e r — I don ' t know, though. While we talked, I told him I wanted to go out for foot- ball because I had played in high school. The same fellow came around to see me tonight. If There was a meeting of the frosh today in the main building — Johnson, I think they call it. Several people gave us a lot of ad- vice. Some one. President Bird, I think, spoke about the Occiden- tal family. I wonder if I look as scared and uncomfortable as the other freshmen I saw today. If Bought a dink a while ago. Things are going nicely now that Tm getting used to the place, al- though that Commons food makes me wish I were home at times. If I didn ' t have that darned geology to bother with, I ' d like it better. Heard that our big grudge battle with the Sophomores is going to be held between the halves of the La Verne football game. That ' s [234] this Friday. One of the fellows at the Phi Gam house was telling me what a gory battle it was last year when the class of ' 30 won. I hope we send the Sophs to the cleaners, that is, if our class turns out for the scrap. t Wow, what a battle that was! Talk about being weary! Our two classes had it out in the Rose Bowl today. All I could see and feel was Sophomores for twenty hectic minutes. Three of them had me down but couldn ' t quite put the ropes on me, even if some Juniors just about drowned me with buckets of water. I think I must have taken my last breath with- out inhaling water when the fight started. Just before I went down under a pile I remember seeing a Freshman — I don ' t know his name yet — take on a big Soph by the name of Janofsky, or some- thing like that. The trouble was the Frosh couldn ' t recognize each other from Sophomores. If we had, the score might have been different — as it was, the Sopho- mores beat us by four tie-ups to none. I still think some one was untying the sophomores outside the ring. That ' s over for a year, anyway. t Went down to the Sigma house for dinner last night. When I came back I had an argument with my room-mate about things in general and in particular. t Went to the banquet the Jun- iors gave our class last night with a keen girl I met at the first of the year. This is certainly a great college. f Tomorrow is fraternity bid day. I hope I make the grade. ' H. [235] B ' A SOPHOMORE WRITES And Gathers Bro en Threads ]E). OY, it ' s great to be back again. This business of becoming a son of toil when the ther- mometer is away up doesn ' t go over so well. I suppose my first big duty will be to keep the lowly frosh in their humble places. IF Dashed down to my sorority house to look up old friends, and one in particular. t Went out to watch the foot- ball team practice today. Looks like a big year because we ' ve al- ready won our first conference games by heavy scores. Here ' s luck! M Stepped the wench to the Soph Stunts last night. They were pretty fair on the whole, but I wasn ' t so pleased to see the fresh- man act take the prize. Found it rather convenient to have my friend living at the house this year instead of Orr Hall. t This business of rushing is get- ting me down. You never can tell just what these freshmen have in their minds. All the same, I hke the novelty of it. It ' s like a game of wits. 1 Well, we put the first major sport championship of the year in the bag when we walloped Po- mona yesterday at the Rose Bowl. Seven to nothing, but what a game! Then, home for the week- end! t Went to the banquet and dance honoring the football team Fri- day. According to Phil Ellsworth, that Hawaiian trip the fellows [236] J took must have been great. Til bet Beebe looked good stranded on a coral reef. It was a nice evening but those stag-lines are terrible. t Last night the basketball squad put the skids under Caltech much to my pleasure. From the looks of things, we are headed for the seC ' ond championship of the year. Captain Ketchersid and Getts, that acrobatic center, look plenty sweet to me. % You can ' t hide Ed Hackett by dressing him in red knickers and a flowing beard. I refer to him at the college ' s annual Christmas dinner. We all had plenty of fun. President and Mrs. Bird were there and like good children re- ceived their presents. t Some of the boys at the house went up to the chapel Wednesday to hear one of the Faculty Recitals presented by the Department of Music. Out of curiosity I joined them. I enjoyed it so, that I ' m go- ing again — not out of curiosity. t Took my tux out of the closet last night to go to the interfrater- nity formal. Campus beauties were quite resplendent in their finery. There were first-year men looking a bit uneasy in the armor plate that is the price of a formal. The dance came on the night of soror- ity bid day. Had a lot of fun watching women ' s faces. t Today I stayed after class about half an hour discussing the fine qualties of Spanish literature with one of my profs and ended up by driving him home. I heard a Senior say it is an ancient and honorable art. [237} s 1). TEMPUS FUGIV Beneath a Junior ' s Eye EGAN the new semester by- hearing of the Tawney Kat ' s de- cease, after which I read both bouquets and brickbats hurled at it through the columns of the newspaper. If What with registration and the usual red tape, I killed the good part of a day and then wondered just what all the commotion was about. If Elections came and like a good citizen I cast my ballot. Being wise, my votes were all cast for successful candidates. The new administration has promised effi ' cient government, but that, how- ever, is that. There was some hue and cry raised in our class elec- tions, but the storm clouds have passed since the radical wing saw how foolish it looked. If Attended the Pittsburgh-Oxy debate the other evening and was one of a dozen and half of the audience who heard some rather intellectual argument on the rela- tive merits of the jury system. t Monday night, after meeting, was spent chatting with the boys who went on the Glee club trip to San Diego and points en route. From all reports, a glorious time was had by all what with the sing- ing of various meaningful, infor- mal ditties. Woe is me, that in all these years I have uncovered no gift of song! If Stagged with a bunch of the boys to see the Occidental Players ' annual effort presented in the Eagle Rock High auditorium. It [238] Pays to Advertise was the play, a light comedy. Jimmy Bone ' s edu- cated eyebrows and clever patter stole the show in my estimation. T Saw the boys win the track ban- ner completely after winning the all-conference meet Saturday. It is satisfying to be in an institution where things are accomplished. Of course, they had already won the championship legally but this meet established their position. f Contributed fifty cents to char- ity or something like that when I went to the home concert of the Women ' s Gee club. I bought a ticket and went upstairs to the balcony only to find the door hos- pitably opened without a keeper. t Bought a tag the other day to help send the boys east to the re- lays. My chest swelled out with civic pride as I trod the campus wearing the bit of bright orange. Tf Sahertooih came out last week. Some winsome lass had previously inveigled me into subscribing for a copy. After perusing, I found it to be not altogether a loss, but in fact quite creditable and fully worth its cost. 1 Watched the Zetas take first prize in the A.W.S. stunts with a nicely executed phantasy, the Court of Fools . On the whole, I thought the stunts better than those of former years, but, sad to say, they are losing their old fire and close application. Boarded the Sigma Limited afterwards with a lass much to my delight. IF Seniors are thinking about Commencement, I see. Next year, I suppose I ' ll be wandering around with an absent stare, too. [239] A TEAR EHDS ' While a Senior Bids Farewell III WO days in the hills anf ' then back to face the awful penal ' ties of Ditch Day . This year we fooled the campus nicely and moved out without causing a ripple, but the music the band played when we returned was rot- ten. It took us at least a day to get all the furniture and clothing back in place and there are some things I haven ' t found yet. One of those low-born Juniors wore a pair of my cords to climb a tele- phone pole and succeeded in ruin- ing them completely. Flapper on mirrors, beads on the roofs, pa- jamas, sheets, and whatnots tied together to form a line from house to house were only a part of the wreckage. As long as I have to stand it only once it will be all right. t Wandered into chapel by mis- take and heard the orators com- peting for the Pashgian prizes. That brood of critics proved quite enlightening, although I did re- sent young Roberts, the winner, admonishing us in true pastoral fashion as to the future manhood and womanhood of these Amer- icas. t Founders ' Day ceremonies and celebration were impressive. As I watched them break ground for the proposed music building, I thought that the policy of con- sistent constructive development of the campus shall stand as a monument to its creators. t Read in the paper the other day that the women are electing a May Queen from the Senior class. That is nice of them. [240} t I had hoped better things for Occidental, I thought after I saw and heard Hoopee , that very collegiate revue foisted upon the student body. Although the work of the producers was entertaining, yet such a production gives abom- inations like college movies their only excuse for existence from an artistic standpoint. t Hied me to grace the board at the spring banquet honoring our champion athletes. Bill Henry as toastmaster added a new zest to the usually deadening after-dinner speeches. His wit is a joy to my ears. The dance following was likewise successful. After four years experience, I think I have solved the problem of the stag- line — come stag. !f Last night I went to the Jun- ior-Senior Prom. The gay couples, the music, and the festivity of the Spring evening remind me too much that soon all this must end. And the curse of it is that I have yet a pair of lengthy term papers to write for which I have nothing but bibliographies. t Weathered the storms of finals for the last time. Coffee and cold towels will do wonders at crucial moments. 1| Today I attended the Baccalaur- eate Service, I think I am begin- ning to feel a little weak inter- nally. I ' m not as enthusiastic about graduation as I thought. If Here you are, old diploma! Four years of work, pleasure, ac- tivity, and high pressure and now — you are a warrant of eviction. Bring on those worlds to conquer. iTf nrr ' i ' ■ag- ' as woflsww [241] B [242] The ' ' La Encina Staff wishes to express its than s to each of the advertisers in the section which follows, and to encourage the students and faculty in a generous patronage of every one of them.

No doubt, they ' ll publish the results along with the final grades — about the middle of summer. Just one of many who fill each a page in La Encina — at least some one has said something like that. No one talks about D.O. much for fear he ' ll be overheard by one of the alert membership. Dranzen That one must have awfully high grades to be bid Dranzen, be- sides being a woman, is the perni- cious rumor that has taken the campus about this glorious organ- ization with a name that sounds like spring tonic or health-giving buttermilk. Members think it quite ex- clusive to belong. There are only some five or six wearers of the jewelry and — my, my! In fact, we heard one ambitious little fresh- man wench say that she would rather earn a Dranzen badge than become a Phi Beta Kappa. j PASADENA-OCEAN PARK STAGE LIISE ( Stages of latest design in charge of competent drivers may ( be secured at reasonable rates for special trips.

Grand Ave. ( Los Angeles, California Kappa Zeta Now, friends, Kappa Zeta is an up and coming bunch of boys who are inspired by a high and mighty ideal to be graduated Eventually, why not now? These pre-medics have the characteristic of changing their name about as often as the chame- leon his skin. Having been Thetas, Theta Pi Mus, and finally Kappa Zetas, their progress has been nothing short of remarkable. Last spring the boys took a serious and ennobling step. Yes, the time had come. They would go national . They looked around for one worthy of them — and found none. So we have Kappa Zeta, Occidental Chapter, — they made it themselves with their little hatchets! Y. M. C. A. In the photo above, reading from left to right, we have the grand and exalted governing coun- cil of the ancient patriarchs of the Y . No one has found out yet why they should be in the picture, but there must be a reason. Just like an old dog, it rolled over on its back and sighed its last. Its death was peaceful and without pain or embarrassment. Then again, there is the possibility that it only went into a state of coma to be revived someday to take up its barking once more.

LOWER STREET FLOOR FAber 8181 Seventh AT Olive Beta Phi Delta A monopoly of the Phi Beta Kappa market brought this group of nice girls into the spotlight. That was a nice break because the sisters had been trying all year to prove some- thing or other. New and shiny headquarters on sorority row were a help, but not much to their reputation. The Psi Delts, since they moved into their former shanty, have been making interesting discoveries ever since. It ' s a great story — but not for this publication. I. Zeta Tau Zeta Things were going along right nicely when a couple of cogs slipped in the political machine and left Zeta a trifle stranded. They are doing nicely now, thank you. Some one wandered by mistake into the house when the active chapter was entertaining the mothers ' club. It is reported that he had difficulty making the necessary distinctions. They seem to be getting over their old theory of pledging bigger and bet- ter Freshmen. [253] B For the Aew A 3 .... CONN has built the NEW ERA TRUM- PET with smarter Hnes, greater beauty, Hghter weight and higher efficiency. This trumpet is so easy to blow, so light and well balanced in the hand; the valve action is so swift, positive and reliable, and the steps in the scale are so evenly spaced that any player can increase the velocity, technic and quality of his playing. Come in and see this sensation in the trumpet world; also the CONN-0-SAX (plays li e the Saxophone, sounds li e an English horn), and the new Mezzo So- prano Saxophone in p.

They are gentlemen unto themselves at their own invita- tion. Sad days are in the offing, so it seems, when one or two of the liberals grace the college hops with their presence. They are at present attempting to gain a strangle-hold on campus poli- tics by controlling Cosmopolitan and Student Volunteer elections. Someone ought to give these boys a hand. Orr Hall A poultry market where the so- rorities go to pick their prize eggs — that is Orr Hall. There is an old tra- dition that the door swings both ways during the battle of brass that features the amicable Pan-Hellenic relations. Since the dear girls found that burning incense was prohibited be- cause of the (ire hazard, they have taken to holding open-air parties on the sleeping porches. Sly wenches! [254] s. Tawney Kat Tawney Kat meant well, but couldn ' t quite get over the hump. It was welcomed by all as cordially as an alley cat on a stormy night. Reports have it that it enjoyed its largest circu- lation among members of the faculty. Why they bought it, or rather took it, the editor himself knows best. Whether or not it had any poli- cies or ideals is a matter of conjecture. We might quote you one or two of its jokes as exhibits, but that would be painful to all of us. Erdman Hall Erdman Hall, the upperclass dor- mitory, is known as an asylum for the sorority house overflow, the co-ed ath- letes, and prospective Sahretooth edi- tors. A kind architect placed it high and dry with a nice, wide lawn where the inmates might play croquet, cricket, football and other nice games. This flock is a joy to the adminis- tration and a lasting blessing to the college. The bothersome question is how long will they last? ,. . ) ALEC MALTED MILK KINQ 2 Blocks West of Vermont on Santa Monica Boulevard t ) Compliments of COLORADO 2611 THE MODEL GROCERY CO.

Fair Oaks Avenue Pasadena, Calif. ( m Cosmopolitan Club The Cosmopolitan Club is indeed an interesting aggregation. Entertain- ing visiting notables and deportees, they seek to achieve the well-known limelight. Its members are doing their best, or at least they are doing. Reports have it that their semi- occasional conventions are wild orgies exceeding the glory that was Rome ' s. However, be that as it may, they have one saving grace. They have an- nounced no intentions of petitioning Kappa Sigma. Alpha Tau Omega Big and strong are the brothers in Alpha Tau Omega. California Delta Phi, it is believed, has been subsidized by the Chicago meat-packing trust. Where would Occidental athletics be were it not for the valor of the chap- ter? Rumor has it that the football captaincy is decided in house meeting. Since withdrawal from the intel- lectual pursuits of the campus, they have pledged them bigger and better, or shall we say, louder and funnier. ( ..

Nevertheless, this is only one of many claims to notoriety this group enjoys. Holding the throne of the po- litical realm is an old Delta custom not to be d isputed by anyone, no matter how great. These girls work hard and their influence is felt in campus life. Any- way, they broke even in the elections. Kappa Epsilon Chi Quiet and unobtrusive are the Kappas. They almost caught up with the leader in the Phi Beta race but couldn ' t quite make the grade. There is little to be said of them. Professor Hartley would despair for his feminine glee club were it not for the valiant Kappas who are the back- bone of the organization. Their gay chorus makes its presence known.

It seems that this house has to work on a percentage basis when it makes plans for the gentle art of hood- winking Freshmen. They pledge so many with the expectation of initiat- ing so many less. However, it is a good publicity stunt on the side. Sport roadsters left hither and yon on the campus oft remind us that the Alphas are with us. Sigma Omicron For he ' s a jolly, fine fellow, sang the Sigmas of their delegation on bid day last fall. However, the boys have improved their opportunities at the expense of contemporaries so that they got together enough men to pre- sent the annual roadshow. Circumstances prevented the brothers from making the most of their college careers during the past year, but that, of course, is inconsequential. Thoughts of future nationalization are solace enough for the group. Like Christmas, it is coming. S. R.

A photograph has also become a present-day necessity. In whatever circle you move — social, fra- ternal, business, club, school, church, political — an up-to-date photograph is as necessary as a modish wardrobe and almost as much used. It only requires a few minutes — no matter how busy the day — to sit for a photograph.

To mention Sabertooth without a word of its fairy godmother. Press Club, would be discourtesy. Gay, elfin sprites are these, flitting hither and thither from scrivened page to thesau- rus and back, from manuscript to emo- tional psychology texts and back to passionate phrases. Its appearance on the campus is a big moment in the lives of many budding literati. Swan Hall A rendezvous and habitat for cos- mopolites, a den of vice, and a bed of iniquity — all these charges have been laid at the doors of Swan Hall. Un- der the presidency of that fraternity irreconcilable, the outfit has progressed admirably during the past year. Sybarites with imported radios have lent to the enticing charm of the hall, but even they won ' t bring it out of the slough of despond. If all the boys were lined up shoulder to shoul- der they would reach — for food. Burglaries have again perplexed the inhabitants because the culprits won ' t share the profits.

After the twenty-ninth pledge receive the brass, the sisters got weary and took time out for dinner. After the repast, the work was resumed until far into the night. If they all come back, another new house will be in order. They moved into the spic and span colonial last fall so that they might more easily reach hands across the street to their interested neighbors. In fact they tried to make the bond complete by hanging a clothesline from one house to the other, but that didn ' t last long. The sorority must be terribly wealthy what with all the proceeds de- rived from rummage sales. Psi Delta Chi Like a well-known evening news- paper, the Psi Delts are something that may safely enter the home. Rushing the faculty is for them quite an ac- complishment. These campus lilies can boast of one shrewd deal. They promoted a silver scholarship cup through the in- terfraternity council just so they could win it. It is whispered that the Scotch element in the house thought of the scheme to save buying dummy trophy cups for the rushing season. There ' s no doubting the fact that this well-known house is extremely ac- tive. They are becoming the commit- teemen par excellence of the college and are educating their Freshmen in the technique of log-rolling.

Groceries, Meats, Delicatessen, Fruits and Vegetables Phone for Foods— GA-4633 FREE DELIVERY The Occidental Boldface type and policies charac- terize The Occidental, the militant arm of the student body. Learned discus- sions on the Honor Spirit, frothy edi- torials on the crying need for a tennis coach, a multiplicity of columns so- phisticated, rabid, jovial, and sopho- moric bespeak a great store of energy that ought to be directed in useful channels. An editorial page brought to life by an executive pulmotor in the form of Letters to the Editor helped the genial boss to be worth his salt — and pepper. The fact that its news re- porting is accurate to within a week of the actual time of occurrence lends the sheet a metropolitan air. La Encina This, ladies and gentlemen, pre- sents the 1929 edition of La Encina, an old friend and a perennial to the Oc- cidental family. Fulfilling its reputation of past years, it finds its place in li- brary corners as a flagrantly illustrated catalog of the scenic and physical beau- ties of the campus, not to mention its incomparable literary contents delineat- ing the glorious events of a big year for Occidental. Graciously, the yearbook is rela- tively small when contrasted with the directories published on other cam- puses. It is just as well so, although editors have thought seriously of in- cluding a portion of the Los Angeles telephone book to emphasize the bril- liancy of its style. ,. . ( J [264} m r- MCETiUGS OF Aen Delia r iela Psi Making a brave effort to subsist on its heavy diet of journalistic gruel, this group contributes quite notably to the life of the campus. At their last meeting, it is rumored, they passed unanimously a resolution pronouncing them the sine qua non of the student activities. (That is, if they had a meeting.) Only the fact that they pledged a few nuggets after an intensive rushing campaign entitles them to a place in this roster of honor and achievement. Dame Whisper reports that its noc- turnal sessions devise fouler conspira- cies than the famous schemes of that innocent confederation of Tammany Hall. Delta Beta Tau That distance lends enchantment may well be said of these boys. A nice new house covers a multitude of sins. A monopoly on the tennis team abetted by the feting of the genial tennis captain gives them one less sor- row to drown in drink. However, it has been said that they have two objectives now, the mayoralty of Los Angeles in the house, and the ' steenth chapter of Sig Alph. With the support of the col- lege, they may accomplish the former. As for the latter, only time and the convention can tell. Why doesn ' t Clayes move on and give them a chance to get ahead? J. A.

S.: first, the annual stunts would be all right if they were good or at least funny; second, they ought to allow the men to select the May Queen. Now that ' s enough about that — in fact, it ' s too much. If more be said, there will be an argument. Lyric strains of passionate verse are kindled in manly bosoms at the gay cavortings of the girlies in the yearly May Festival. Lithesome bodies trip- ping the light fantastic across the greensward are the essence of spring — yea, tripping. It ' s all in fun, but that energy would run a treadmill to pump water into the Sahara. A. M. S. The Associated Men Students en- joyed a very active year. Their con- tribution to the brilliant social season came in the form of a very swanky formal — or was it informal? — dance at some country club or other. An in- definite number of couples almost at- tended to enjoy the dulcet strains from an orchestra that almost had a job for that evening. Decorations were black and blue, particularly about the persons who sold bids before the announcement of its postponement. This organization rivals its celebrated parallel among the women in every- thing except that it does not elect a May Queen. It ought to, however, before it does something more useless.

Phi Gamma Delta High pressure helped the chapter to a good season in the Freshman corn fields. Now the brothers feel dis- posed to sit around while the grass grows tall and windows fall off their hinges. They are willing to admit that Phi Gamma Delta, and Omega Kappa in particular, is just about the best thing that ever struck this campus, outside of the new student union. Their favorite sport is to let other houses burn their paws gathering chestnuts for the Phi Gam monkeys. The young musician has done a great deal to keep the brothers heads above water. ( yj ' ' y A Chi Rho These boys, it seems, have gone into peaceful retirement after a few years of very active activity on the campus. They while away the idle hours sleeping on the pool table and helping the Glee Club along with their mellow voices. The last thrust made by this ha- ven for worn-out editors was the pro- duction of the estimable revue, Hoop- ee. The boys did their best to put the show across to the delight of the audience and the edification of the brothers but not even Chi Rhos could make that a success.

To John B. Jac son, Editor of the 1927 Southern Campus and now of Carl A Bundy Squill and Press, we owe unlimited indebted- edness. His interest in La Encina began a year ago and has grown coTtstdnti i; many of his ideas have been incorporated in ma ing this bool{ what it is. To Mr. Warren Lewis and Mr. Jac Young of Commercial Art ■ Engraving Company we are deeply indebted. The particular interest of Mr. Lewis in things oriental has been responsible in a large measure for developing the underlying motif of the volume. To Richard Albert Stocl ddle, of Chouinard School of Arts, whose genius it was that made the art designs, we extend sincere appreciation.
