The student recognizes this when he gazes complacently at the well-groomed campus, because in the four or even two years of his college career he has reverently witnessed many developments and changes. To the average student, the history of his college usually begins in 191 4 when the institution moved, after a perhaps merciful Ere, from Highland Park closer to the hills now definitely a part of its personality. The catalogue, by way of a paragraph annually reprinted, points out to the occasional reader additional historical facts. It was in the year 1888, in the now sniffed-at Boyle Heights dis- trict that the college first Hung open its doors. Handicapped from the start by its name, Occidental University of Los Angeles, the baby institution was nearly ex- terminated by a local depression in 1907. Despite odds, however, the school in- creased in size and importance until it was ready, after hopping from one Part of 3 the city to another, to settle down in Eagle Rock and hatch buildings at irregular intervals. Now settled, the college can congratulate itself on its yearly more beautiful surroundings and its illustrious line of presidents and friends. When periodically, Rolls Royces gather on the campus, the Cccidentalite senses that the half-mythical Board of Directors is meeting somewhere on the premises. Except thus indirectly he rarely comes in contact with the Board and so fails as a rule to recognize the hard-headed practical work of these usually invis- ible personages. Another cluster of individuals, lumped under the colossal classihcation of ad- ministrative heads, directly concerns the undergraduate. At the top of this group is President Remsen Bird, who should be commended for his ability to have wonderful visions and to make them real. The student' shuns contact with deans, periodically with the Comptroller, but he commends their patient work as he does that of indefatigable Miss Brady, confessing their duties to be as involved and time-consuming as Mrs. Pipal declares hers to be.These active souls guard the students' morals, moneys, and credits. The faculty is Hrst inspiringly seen en masse in its solemn rows on the stage in chapel. Not until he is in danger of becoming a junior, however-, is the student quite aware of the existence of departments and department heads. It is then as the problem of departmental afliliation next confronts him that he watches keenly the antics of the inmates of each cell-like oflice for a clue to his choice. In Iohnson he will End the English department assertedly predominant and unques- tionably popular, under the terrifying eye of Dr. Stelter-who hates yearbooks and so will not have the pleasure of reading this. If his interests are more gross, the pupil, who has been devouring the lectures and articles ofDr. Young and his col- leagues on the depression, will gravitate towards a lively economics division, hoping to learn the possibilities of personal currency inflation. Or he may possess that probing eagerness for things past, and, doubly lured by Dr. I-Iardy's ponder- ous brow and classroom capers, will plunge into the field of history and writhe under the sharp eyes and tongues of its professors. In moments of leisure the spine-quivering voice of Chandu hypnotized some underclassmen, and they rejoice in being called Speech majors under Dr. Linds- ley, who has a tendency to inflict some of his best students on the air channels to the satisfaction of proud parents and a thus publicized Alma Mater. Down on the third floor, Dr. Lowther is versatile enough to head classical and modern lan- 4 guages, both subjects guaranteeing unfailing daily lessons and tortuous compre- hensives. Two departments there are to which certain students are drawn by a sort of destiny, Those with a religious bent congregate in Dr. Ballard's class- rooms and store up ammunition for anticipated assaults upon the heathen. And the education division is a magnet of inescapable power for an appalling propor- tion of each year's class. The student looks beseechingly at the field of possible professions, resigns himself to fate, and works to grasp the credential and promise of a future job which Dr. Sinclair dangles before his eyes. The department at- tracts extremes in type, ranging from the zealous already enmeshed in practice teaching, to malcontents still hoping for escape or a millionaire, and to indolents, principally physical education fanatics. Across the quad, Fowler grinds marshall themselves under Dr, Smiley for biol- ogy and Zoology, Dr. Chandler for chemistry, Mr. Richardson for physics, and Dr. Allen for mathematics, The more aesthetic departments are isolated in the music building and upper floor of the library: art under Mi,ss Cunningham, and music from Mr. Hartley. The student sees Miss Hodgson and Mr. Kei nholz be- moaning the indifference to corpore sano on the part of some of Qxy's men and women, and observes with apprehension the departmental drive against the flat foot and chest. Whateveif the student chooses among this array, he Hnds himself carried for- ward with a body of like-creatures called his Class. He participates in voting for its officers -- preferably for ones as capable as Donovan Maiim, VVilhelmina Thomas, Muriel Goodheart, and Victor Lytle-and consciously or uncon- sciously helps form its history. He goes to the Senior-Iunior Prom, he watches the tree committee plant its little oakg he listens to the chimes and thinks that his class can do better than thatg he puts on the uncomfortable cap and gown, feels a bit silly, sits for a solemn hour or two hearing that he is on the threshold of life, then, bingo, here is the diploma converting him in an instant into an alumnus. Sadly, he has read the annual and noticed that the other classes have been carrying on much as usual: the frosh have stuck out their tongues at the sophs and the sophs have spanked them for it. The juniors have managed to find something to do, if only to elect oflicers. Things will go on without him, he concludes. His only refuge is the Alumni Association. He will attend the lecture series-some- thing he may have neglected as an undergraduate. He wonders if he will be asked to pay dues. 5 Dr. Robert Freeman, President Board of Directors: Dr. Rcmscn D.

On top of the pile sits the Executive Council, an august body elective in competition, which meets regularly to frown over student affairs and gravely reject proposals for the alteration of the constitution. This group shoulders the Hnancial worries of the A.S.C.C. and carefully, and neces- sarily, allots inadequate sums to student activities. Its two most important actions ofthe year were the appointment of Ted Brodhead to succeed Phil Ellsworth as graduate manager, and the supervision of the All-CollegeWeekend, a genuine con- tribution to campus unity. The council has functioned smoothly under very ca- pable presidents: Rice Uber, last of the Phi. Gam dynasty, flourished the Hrst semester, and Emlyn Jones is now at the gavel. It is difhcult, and admittedly inad- visable to single out members for special commendation. Cnly one name stands out from a reading ofthe minutes, that of Leslie Knott who seems to have tabled more motions than any other member. The bright, piquant faces ofthe less dis- tinguished members appear in full on page thirty-three. These are the people, by the way, who wear the little tiger head pins. Closely related to the Executive Council are a series of student committees which carry on more specialized duties. There is not space to permit a list of the members, but their pictures appear further on in the book. We will, however, 27 graciously list the committees. Occidental's boasted honor spirit is entrusted to the Honor Court whose duty it is to be suspicious of everyone and so checks up on the honor system every year. Clumsy cheaters are exiled. The selection of chapel speakers is left to a committee which, oddly enough, was instrumental in securing a series of excellent speakers for the Thursday chapels, notably, Harry Carr, William Woolet,t, Dr. Henry Weiinan, Kirby Page, and Clayton Hamil- ton. Talks ranged from the advisability of breaking good habits to a faintly be- wildering exposition on radiation and matter. No one, incidentally, who heard it should forget Clayton Hamilton's talk on the theatre. Une further committee supervises elections and cares for the upkeep and stuffing of ballot boxes. That impulse which makes the men eat at one end of the Commons and the women at the other, accounts for further stratification: men and women are or- ganized into separate groups, subservient, but somewhat independent of the Stu- dent Body. Every woman belongs to the Associated Woiimeim Students, an organi- zation which combines activity with infrequent meetings and no dues. Affairs of exclusively feminine interest make up the year's program. New students were welcomed at the Dove Reception and fashion show, and were subsequently edu- cated as to the functions of the hundred-odd campus organizations at the Proces- sion of Lanterns. The Spring Festival closes the year with a gay flourish, timed to assert the presence of spring, tra la, and to lure prospective students to the col- lege, high school seniors being the guests of the day. The folk dancing and home- grown playlet took place this year before Shirley Haynes, May Queen. Officers in charge of these mad affairs were Gertrude Reeves, Shirley Haynes, Ruth Mac- Cluer, Dorothy Hoile, and Mavis Campbell. The A. W. S., furthermore, takes it upon itself to orient the little freshman to the ways of the campus. This year, their memories -were frightened into a grip on the school songs and Io Triumphe by the Tribunal headed by Barbara Nlorris and Anna jane Chapman. A shade less terrifying, the Sponsors assort the newcomers and provide each with a big sister who tenderly reveals the secrets of Occidental life. There are too many sponsors to permit a list of names at this pointg a glance at their picture, however, shows that they are a select group. Two more women's organizations and we can get on to things of less impor- tance. The off-campus women, suspecting that they were somewhat outside cam- pus life, banded together to assert their right to a share of the college swirl. They have met infrequently throughout the year, principally for quilting bees, and 28 have taken over a room in Erdman Hall. Their big moment was a share of the Co-ed Hop, celebrated in the Union-. Chairman: Frances Grotthouse. One last group, the lower class women's organizations, attends to the little niceties about the school such as the arranging of bouquets, decoration of tables, lighting of candles, and straightening ofneckties. They have officers too: Florence Williams was president of sophomore, and Ruth Babcock of freshman women. The men students, though organized, do not present as elaborate a program for the year as do the women. Two major events split the year. The first semester fea- tured the stag dinner, and a controversial lecture by Dr. Ira Cross, of Berkeley, on the collapse of Capitalism. It took an earthquake to postpone the annual Men's Day from March 24th to April ZISE, at which time Iudge Harold B. Landreth spoke to a group of awed high school seniors. The invited guests gained their first impression of the school by paying a small sum for their dinner. Aside from these spectacular functions, the A. M. S. is a fairly quiet body. Problems of interest to the men are aired once a week at the Wednesday chapel. Publications make a further division of student activity. Une of the most vital, of course, is the yearbook. This year's annual, as may have been noticed by this time, is one of innovations, Editor-in-chief Helen Dallas has gently shooed away the sacred cows feeding under las encinas. Though it is customary for an annual to Pat itself on the back, it is unnecessary to call attention to the new ideas. Suffice it to say that the book is at bottom individualistic and a departure from the rut, and that should excuse everything. Credit is desired for the various slavies on the staff who did the pick and shovel work. Assistant-editor Marjorie Adams found her red hair of value as supervisor of studio photographs, her task was to scare camera- shy students and professors toward the Martiiu studios. If your face is on straight, all credit goes to assistant-editor Gordon Goodhart and I-lelen Webei', who spent hours cementing photos to baseboard. Iohn Maclnnes, not an assistant-editor, snared the advertising. All writing for the book was done by Virginia Ayars and Paul Iohnson, except for certain obscene portions which were written by the jani- tor who takes in the flag every afternoon. A glance at the annual staff page will show ,many interesting, earnest faces too numerous to record here. Alone more important than the annual, The Occidental appeared once a week throughout the year under the guidance of Ruth Pfeifer, the first semester, and Burns Lee, the second. News, both sport and prosaic, was capably handled by the stafs of both editors, and emphasis on the Big Campus idea was well sustained. 29 A difference in the tone of the editorial pages of che respective editors was notice- able. The shift was from right to left. Miss Pfeifer's editorial staff tended toward conservatism while Mr. Lee mustered a parcel of radicals who pondered great problems and hoped, somewhat Wistfully, to pick an occasional fight. The editors ask laurel wreaths for patient Charles Iennings, Ed McNeill, Ierome Hull, Muriel Cuoodhart, Willard Williams, and Allen Daily. The annual embalms the events of a year and the school paper reports immedi- ate happenings, but they are not quite suflicientg for a student desiring quick in- formation on school affairs needs something more detailed and less cumbersome than either. For this purpose, the two handbooks: Frosh Bible edited by Burns Lee and Kenneth White and the A. W. S. Handbook compiled by Vivian Iay. A student who knows everything about the school but still needs information finds her address and phone number in the Campus Directory, published this year by Meb Schroeder and Iohn Mclnnis. Print, however, is not the only means for student expression: quite a large num- ber ofpupils favor the voice. Of these, those who like to sing find the glee clubs a refuge and those who merely like to talk, perhaps with gestures, cluster around dramatics and forensics. Despite the generally curtailed expenses which prevented ambitious trips, the combined glee clubs managed to stray off the campus and confront perhaps more audiences than any previous club. The most noteworthy activity of the music department was the producing, in conjunction with che dramatics department, of Offenbach's parody on classical opera, Drpheus in the Underworld. Neither Mr. Baer nor Mr. Hartley will accept full credit for the presentation, each blaming the other, but it is safe to assume that, except in matters purely musical, Kurt Baer had the more responsibility. Mr. Hartley supervised the singing and directed the orchestra, Mr. Baer acted as the general producer. The performance in the Greek Bowl on May 19th might possibly have been the first in this country. Ar least, considerable difficulty was encountered in securing an English version of the operetta, there being only two copies in the United States. Miich of the play was translated by Baer, who was familiar with it, having assisted Max Rheinhart with its presentation in Ger- many. The cast of seventeen was headed by the versatile leads, Mary Bustos, Fleetwood Jefferson, Charles Hirt, Arthur Buell, Ethel Phillips, and Kenneth White. The costumes were gay in the Baer manner. The season, brought to a dramatic close by Drpheus in the Underworld, go opened in September with Baer's ambitious presentation of Everyman. The allegory, though modernized and garnished with incidental music, retained much of its power. Its medieval atmosphere intensified by bright costumes and an elabo- rate outdoor setting. The large cast, which had been rehearsing since lune, per- formed with uniform ease, at the head ofthe list, Henry Kleinbach, Esther Haus- child, Shirley Haynes, and Charles Hirt. Dorothy Bell surprised and pleased with an intricate, and mildly insinuating, dance. For their next performance, the dramatic artists moved indoors and gave Dandy Dick, a Pinero comedy, before the usual capacity audience. The produc- tion was one of those theoretically Iunior plays Wherein everyone but Juniors take part. The Gccidental Players stepped into the gap, furnished the necessary re- cruits, and the play Went on. The story Was a diverting mixture of horse racing and the gay nineties. For special commendation, Laddie Powers, Bernard Mel- ekian, Priscilla Reed, Lovell Van Meter, and Charles Hall. Mechanical details, to be fair, were attended to by Iuniors. Another strong department of campus activity is the forensic division. A pug- nacious quartet of debaters, True Boardman, Bernard Melekian, Donald Eareed, and Paul McKalip quarreled with U. S. C., Utah, Weber College, Pomona, and Arizona. War debts furnished the bone of contention for all but Arizona, who growled over radio broadcasting as a menace to culture. The team defeated U. S. C. and was in turn defeated in a radio debate with Utah. The rest were non- decision. By Way of special diversion, Takeshi Haruki and Donald Eareed enter- tained a Thursday chapel when the former defended the Iapanese indiscretions in Maiachuria. Though the men's team made no trips this year, the Women traveled to Bakersfield. In addition, the team, made up of Elizabeth Mullens, Francis Iacobsen, Marie Carroll, and Dorothy Bell met Redlands, U. S. C., U. C. L. A., and hosts of others. Dr. Lindsley coached the men and Miss Gilliland preened the Women. A glance at oratory enables us to conclude this section on a modest note of tri- umph. We have been concerned in a general way with student activities, and, if possible, achievements. May We call, then, for a Hourish of trumpets for Donald Fareed who Won the Southern Conference extemporaneous speech contest and thus added another bright trophy to 0ccidental's cupboard. Nor shall We deny a chivalric blast for Esther Hauschild Who placed third in the vvomen's division. 31 Wuldcnc Linpglc, Vice-President: Rice Olscr, President: Mnrgcric Mitchell, Secretary. 32, Reeves Ruth Pfcifcr Robert Bowers of Women lixlilar Orf'ixl1'nlul Fun-nxiv Rcfrrrxelllativc Donovan Main Alblctia' RL'1lI't'Jl'1lfIlfiVD Dr. Arthur Couns Yfll Leader .

P RT IH ATHLETICS Q THLETICS, thi s year, took a beating. Occiden- tal's old habit of snagging championships in every Held of competition was tem- porarily suspended and several teams championship-bound were derailed enroute. The football squad dispensed with the conventional system and dallied lwith a twelve man team and a board of strategy, bun cancelled the value of these innova- tions by erratic playing, which led them to defeat their superiors and bow before teams equal if not worse than themselves. The basketball team, less moody, de- feated inferior teams but missed the top of the conference by succumbing to its superiors. In track, baseball, and tennis promising teams were unable to push through the stiff conference competition to first place. Itis often the custom of an annual to condone such near-victories with excuses, but it is unnecessary to make this book a refuge for alibis, that field we leave free to The Ocfirierztal sports staff. Even if Oxy did not come through in the expected American style- win or bust-the teams played well, put up good tiger-fight. Control of athletic affairs centers largely in faculty and administrative offici als. As faculty representative to the southern conference, Dr. Hardy attends to eligi- bility of players and voices the will of the school in conference meetings. His duties are concerned chiefly with the relations of school athletics to outside groups, within the college itself are two bodies which supervise activity within the school. The most important is the Board of Athletic Control made up of representatives of the faculty, students, alumni, trustees, and administration. This acts as an advisor to the college on all matters pertaining to schedules, trips, 61 hiring and firing of coaches, and players' salaries. More limited in activity than this group, the Athletic Council awards letters, appoints managers and assistant managers, and does other little athletic tasks. In addition to administrative control of athletics, certain powers are delegated to student groups. The Bengal Board, for one, this year vicalized by Vic Lytle, enilamed student feeling 'to a high pitch with bonfires, rallies, and rally dances. The objective of this little handful was to get the students to the games, once there to be turned over to the yell leaders, agile Turner and Weatherall, who dragged an occasional shout out of them, sleep or no sleep. These nervous gentle- men could always get a sizzling Io Triumphe out of the listless stands, but their efforts had to be unusually pretzelian to secure the necessary threatening response when the game became boring. Add to thesepep-inciters other students who served the college athletics-we refer to the managerial staff. Though the mana- gers for each sport performed slightly differing. functions, their duties may be lumped. Thus, if a team travelled, the managers saw to hotel accommodations and kept a careful eye on the equipment. When the team was in action, the play- ing equipment was again supervised and playing time and other data on players recorded for eventual letter-awarding. A further duty of the managers was to shift as much responsibility as possible onto the shoulders of the assistant mana- gers. ' . Of course managers and participants alike are subject to the control of the coaching staff. The staff this year has undergone some changes. A general shifting around in the Fall placed Bill Anderson in charge of football. Anderson, then, and now, responsible for basketball and baseball, had served for seven years as assistant coach and trainer before his promotion. He graduated hfom the Uni- versity of Illinois where he received his football training under Bob Zuppke. A new face appeared on the staff in September, when Fred Pickard assumed his position as head line coach. Pickard was an All-American tackle in 1926 at the University of Alabama where he served as captain of the team that played in the Rose Bowl that year. Aside from these changes, the staff remained much as be- fore: Pipal, track, Lusch, tennis, McMasters, swimming, Belman, frosh trackg Noble, frosh basketball, and Beebe, frosh football. The sport calendar opened with what might be called an interesting football season which presented a new system of play, a major upset, and the first home- coming game in several years. The new method of play, gleefully criticised from 62. the stands, apparently functioned well enough to assure its retention for the com- ing year. By this system, the game, according to advance publicity, was given back to the players. Policies of the team were controlled by a Board of Strategy made up of the head instructor, the captain, two members elected by the squad and a fifth member selected by the instructor. This group discussed the type of offense and defense to be used, talked over the personnel of the team and advised in the selection of assistant instructors. The board functioned only at times of meeting, not when the team was in action, and then in an advisory capacity. Another new idea was sufficiently publicized to work its way back to Ike New Yorker, from which the following paragraph is quoted: It is very encouraging to Hnd out that two obscure teams in California, where everything, from the mountains to the movies, is more or less exaggerated, have thought up the idea of playing football with twelve men on a side. The notion is not as ridiculous as it sounds, the twelfth player will be there purely for the purpose of telling the other players what to do, and this is certainly as logical as the present custom which allows the coach whenever he gets a particularly bright inspiration, to send a substitute in to tell the team about it. It might be advisable, if the experiment works out well, to try it here, preferably at N. Y. U., giving the field general a lasso and a bicycle to use in emergencies. The idea, apparently, did work, for this obscure college won zo to o over the other obscure institution, Santa Barbara. The team played variable football. Alone against non-conference giants, Ari- zona and Brigham Young, did the team show any uniformity, but in both cases it was a matter of sustained listlessness. Arizona won I9 to o in a brilliant flurry of fumbles, and two weeks later, the Mormons slaughtered the Tiger, 46 to o. The most notable event in conference play was the upsetting of Whittier. Fol- lowing but a week after a 7 to o defeat from Redlands, the Whittier victory was totally unexpected. Whittier sauntered into the Rose Bowl with four teams, all Hrsts, conceded the advantage in advance. From the opening boot, however, Cxy played clawing football, and mopped up the conference champions zo to 7. Reed starred by pulling five Poet passes out of the air and making two of the four touchdowns. The fire that blistered the Poets was burned out by the next week when the team, and a handful of rooters, dropped in on San Diego. The two teams spent most of the afternoon in midfield, moving back and forth over an area of about seven inches-to judge from appearances. Neither team could sum- mon the energy to cross the goal and the game ended scoreless. Somewhat recov- . 63 ered from their southern exposure, the players demoralized a highly applauded La Verne squad the next week by plowing through to a 24 to o victory. The game was recorded as the best of the season as far as team play was concerned. Nor could Santa Barbara hold the rejuvenated Tiger in the next night game, which was the twelve man conflict starring Winterburn as director-in-charge. The next game was a freak. Caltech, played out in the bright sunlight on Armistice Day, kicked through to a 9 to 6 victory over an Oxy team that made six times as much yardage and four times as many first downs. A simple place kick spoiled the show, too late in the game for retaliation. The Occidental sport page, which growled politely about victory not always going to the victor, was forced to sing a different tune the next week when the Sagehen ran the Tiger all over Patterson field, made 18 first downs to 4, gained 215 yards to 1o6, and then lost I3 to 14. The local victory, one of the most exciting of the Pomona-Occidental series, closed the season. A week more of play continued in the conference and then final standings were issued. The teams ranked as follows: Whittie1', La Verne, Red- lands, Occidental, Pomona, Caltech, and Santa Barbara. The frosh showed no astonishing talent: in five games, the squad went down the sump three times. Two victories were recorded over non-conference teams, and the lone conference game with Caltech resulted in a 20 to o defeat. From the babes there appear to be few recruits to H11 in the gaps left by the graduating letter- men, Meeks, Dennis, Schroeder, Flanegin, Reed, Parle, Waddel, Hunt, Finley, and Bourell.The team was captained by Iimmy Meeks who called signals from right end, next year Bob Ackland, half, will preside at the weekly meetings. The basketball team, something of a dark horse, galloped through the season to a second stall in the final conference standings, losing only three out of twelve encounters. High point honors went to Al Pupis, next near's captain, who was elected all-conference center at the close of the season. Outstanding performances were registered by Captain Don Main, Marsh Topping, Marsh Beebe, and Ray Gough. Opening with an impressive 30 to 22 win over Pomona, the team tore through the conference: split two with La Verne, beat Redlands 35 to 22, dropped two to Whittier 44 to 32 and 30 to 25, smeared Tech 38 to 3o, swamped Pomona and San Diego, and then topped off the season with a 56 to 29 inunda- tion of Santa Barbara. Though commencement will clean out some of the per- sonnel ofthe team, Anderson will have a strong nucleus returning for next' year. The frosh, under Bill Noble's tender guidance, finished with three wins against 64 two defeats. The children won over Caltech, Whittier, and La Verne. Pomona and La Verne did the spanking. Pipal's short pantied aggregate broke the long tradition of grabbing confer- ence championships. I-lampered a little by injury, but principally by lack of ma- terial in some events, the team bowled over all conference opponents except Pomona and lost the conference meet. Tech fell 41 to 99, Redlands 40 to 1oo, and Pomona won a close meet 80 to 6o. The local boys were defeated 82 2-3 to 57 1-3 in a handicap meet with U. S. C.Two records were broken during the sea- son: Byron Kelly tossed the hammer 141 feet, five feet beyond the school record, unbettered since 1916, and Iack I-lallet cleared 13 feet 5 3-4 inches in the pole vault, breaking the college and conference record. Consistent point-getters were I-Iallat, Captain Entwistle, Forbes, Kelly, and Hayden. The frosh track squad performed about as well as a canoe full of weasels. At the present writing the remaining major sports have not completed their schedules, nor have the minor and womens' sports. Neither of the two remaining major teams seems bound for a conference championship. The tennis team, how- ever, although already defeated by Pomona, should have little difficulty with the rest of the conference and so has a good chance to cop second place. Essentially a two man team -Lusch-Belote-the net squad is handicapped by lack of strong reserves. A Northern tour during Easter vacation brought engagements with Santa Clara, Stanford, Berkeley, and the California Tennis Club at Berkeley. Baseball, retained as a major sport, is not far enough advanced in its schedule at the moment to justify prediction. As the team has lost one, La Verne, and won one, Redlands, almost anything could be prophesied. We will content ourselves with the comment that the boys are playing nicely together. Prospects are brighter in the minor sport division. Swimming is almost certain to Hsh up a conference title, and golf is also on the way to the top. The womens' sport program has been postponed so long because of vaccinations and one thing and another that it escapes this write-up. The gym suits adorning the co-eds pic- tured in the section on women's athletics are cute, though.The athletic activities of the women are under the supervision of Miss Caroline I-lodgdon and Miss Marjorie Lucas, and are sponsored by the W. A. A.The officers of the organi- zation this year were Mavis Campbell, President, Maxine Keiser,Vice-President, and Dorothy I-loile, Secretary-Treasurer. The sport managers were I-larr, Rain- ville, Bromley, Haight, Merrill, and Iacobson. 65 Dr. Osgood Hardy, Chairman Athletic Board of Control: Joe Forbes, Athletic Representative 66 Coach Joe Plpal Prof. Edgar Kienlxolz William McMnszcrs Trark Gymnusium Swiulrning Ivan Bclnun William Noble I-Inrry Bigger Fr:-.vbmuu Trarla Frrxbnrun Buslcvlhall Trninvr ATHLETIC CGACI-IES 67 ' Z 1 IIDC Mel Caldwell Harold Sanders Donald Heller Robert P ' Foaiball Baslzvlllall l Track Bdifbfll .lnlm Wlnfcff Carl Ehmlfm Y Watson Hillis William McMasters Tennis Slviffwfifls Golf Iufranuuul ATHLETIC MANAGERS Y Y Cam Wcalhcrall YELL LEADERS 6 8 ATHLETIC COUNCIL BOARD james Meeks, Fouzbnll Capuin: Robert Ackland, Captain-Elect gwiuilidz, ,g,,5V,.!.,, , -4 S uf' Coach William Anderson, Roy Dennis, james Meeks, Mob Schroeder BOARD OF STRATEGY ., - ,C 1:-mf..-:.a.... .., Coach Anderson, Capt.

D. and Dranzen, honorary clubs for outstanding senior men and Women, wear the sacred pins received in a suspenseful chapel dubbing ceremony and stand adored on the heights of student opinion. lean lVlacCluer is president, and Anna lane Chapman, secretary-treasurer, of Dranzeng Paul McKalip, head of'D.0. On a pedestal of slightly different variety huddle the earnest-eyed members of Phi Beta Kappa, national scholarship fraternity. Ten members elected this year were faced with the traditional problem of What to do with their keys. Virginia Ayars and Paul McKalip receiving theirs in October, Louise Ballard, Arthur Buell, Richard Entwistle, Delevan Evans, Paul. johnson, Drury Haight, An- toinette lvlaroder, Williaiii McMasters, John Wilsoii and Anne Vlfyman in March. Among clubs of an honorary bur more professional nature come Phi Kappa Alpha, which attracts economically-minded young men like jim Carney, presi- dent, and Phi Epsilon Kappa, which harbors the brawn of phys ed majors like Bill McMasters, Frank Flanegin, and Paul Paulsen, president, treasurer, and sec- retaryg and Herbert Schack, one of the rare species called sergeant-at-arms. Kappa Nu Sigma is the honorary history fraternity, which really does things in its field with a directorate which takes turns presiding, composed this year of Barbara Morris, Dale Craik, and Donald Craven .... lvlusically-inclined femininity tak- ing che trouble to major or minor in music is becoming notoriously articulate in 109 the increasingly important Sigma Alpha Iota. Officers are Ruth Hurst, Carol Crawford, and Margaret Bothell. Last, maybe least, the lowly sophomores have begun an honorary organization called Tigers Claws, which tears around under Marshall Beebe building bonhres, laying down lives for the Tiger, and other such consequential things. Tender young underclasswoinen, swooped upon by the English department for literary interest and ability, may hnd themselves members of Dial Literary soci- ety, headed this year by Dorothy Levey, with Virginia McGregor, Kitty May Hullinger, and Dorothy Pierce the other officers. Upperclasswomen drift or fight their way into the more mature and women's-clubbish Laurean, which, besides brewing and imbibing tea, created the unprecedented phenomena of lively, well- attended meetings comparatively emancipated from the domination ofthe Ency- clopedia Britannica. Louise Ballard was president, Anna Iane Chapman, Barbara Morris and Maxine Keiser, her helpers. At Dr. Stelter's hillside citadel the Press Club engaged in alternate moments of hilarity and solemnity reading Mss. under the deceitfully serious glance of Paul Iohnson. Margaret Calhoun sends out the cryptic bring a manuscript or don't come notes. The Dxy players proved themselves traditionally indispensible by putting on the good entertainment else- where described. Shirley Haynes soared above the rest as president, Mary Cook was secretary, Esther Hauschild, business manager. The Young Won1en's Christian Association deepened its roots in profitable activity among its following. Its importance manifests itself to the uninitiated by an exhausting list ofofficers: Helen Greenlaw, presidentg Helen Bruce, Mary Belle Bowie, Barbara Morris, vice-presidentsg Marjorie Chamlee, corresponding secre- tary, Mary Helen Collier, recording secretary, and Anna Iane Chapman, treas- urer. Depending on the chance existence of a group of interesting foreign students the Cosmopolitan club does diH erent thingsg Plecie Elliott this year drawing out shy ones of other races with the help of Bob Williams, vice-president, Take- shi Haruki, recording secretary, Margaret Ferguson, corresponding secretary, and Val Kolesoff Qwhose supply of Russian profanity is enviousj, treasurer. Acting as officers of the Book and Candle Cwhose members turn to reading by candle lightj are Virginia Lawson, Catherine johnson and John Espey. The O Club exists under Roy Dennis and Williani Iohnson. At the center of the college whirl gyrated the small handful spread along Alumni avenue and environs. The minutest actions of this group could not escape 110 the news-noses ofa pack of columnists and were methodically be-jeweled once a week in The Dccidental. The columnists handled their Winchelingo with skill and the necessary puns, and the columns proved thoroughly fascinating to those therein publicized. As the Deltas received honorable mention more times than any other sorority, they gained some unjust criticism. Publicity for the upper crust was suddenly cut off when The Occidental, under a new staff, turned serious and began to devote itself to esoteric world problems. Though un-insulted in the chatter columns, other groups pursued their sep- arate functions. For one thing, there were one hundred and twenty-five religious meetings held at odd times and places, and vespers were quietly attended by no end of unostentatious folk. Esperanto, according to report, captured the fancy of a select group. Edith Staples presided over the Pan-Hellenic council, whose repressed but anxious wonder over the threatened existence ofsororities was less acute this year, leaving it free to battle the usual battles, change the rules a bit, and plan the Pan- Hell dance. The affair took place at the Beverly Hills Hotel, and was distin- guished by the presence of movie stars having their own party in the adjoining ball-room. The Alpha sorority Qof the blase blondesb drew in a fair quota of the tradi- tional Vogue patterns, and undertook social propaganda to preserve its esprit de corps, joie de vivre, or whatever. Officers were Edith Staples, Catherine Harr, Eleanor Tuttle, and Elizabeth Stanton. Located in an area conducive to entan- gling alliances, the Zetas got engaged and married quite characteristically, those still free left to negotiate with the Sigma house kitty-corner across the avenue. Zeta officers were lean MacCluer, president, Lillian Borden, Ellen Davies, lean Asquith,Ruth MacCluer,and Lois Matthews.The Kappas pursued their policy of watchful waiting and gradually feathered their cozy nest with happy pledges. Shirley Haynes, Ruth Hurst, Frances Grotthouse, and Mavis Campbell were assisted by Bonnie Bird, house manager, Mary Croft, chaplain, and Dorothy Levey, reporter. A well recognized and established Beta Phi diplomacy guaran- tees this group an annual crop of pretty pledges busy and gay as larks, and never, never to be confused with the Y. W. C. A. Priscilla Reed was president, Margerie Mitchell, vice-president, Dorothy Murray, recording secretary, Dorothy Pierce, corresponding secretary, Gertrude Reeves, treasurer, and Frances Bromley, house manager. The Gamma's comparatively recent dogma of isolation and exclusion III attracts a set of good-looking pleasure-lovers intensively loyal to the fold and thirsty for campus prominence. Ofhcers were Barbara Brown, Waldene Lingle, Ruth Clever, and Babette Carter. A morearistocratic sense of selection lends tone to the Delta hauteur, which seems to have the edge in spite of certain individual- istic trends toward boisterousness, milk nickels, and bad grades. Grace Wood- ward, Betty Sinclair, and Carolyn Beckham were president, vice-president, and secretaryg Christine Smith, treasurer and house manager. Erdman I-lall, long considered the melting-pot of upper division non-orgs, has been gradually attesting its humanity and even its possibilities for come-hither, this year fiercely seeking a domestic life as integrated and sisterly as that of the sorority. Virginia Ayars was forced to abandon window-climbing and set an ex- ample as president, with Plecie Elliott, Nlarjorie Chamlee, and Virginia Iohnson her staHf. Annually the Ellis Island of green freshman girlhood, Orr I-lall this year circulated a paper giving the circle of its potential citizens, kept the valley awake with shrieking, and did all the unconscious things oldsters look back on toler- antly and affectionately and recognize as unwritten, but inescapable tradition. Barbara Holmes, Pearl McAuley, Wilmena and Elizabeth Vincent, and Iean Nickerson were president, secretary, treasurers, and social chairman. Glittering with the names of fraternity presidents, the interfraternity council was led by Iim Carney who directed arrangements for the year's big Interfrater- nity formal dance. I-lere gowns, pulchritude, couples blossoming into being or continuing a romantic existence, and the awe-inspiring Elks Temple made the affair one to exhaust the vocabulary of society editor and ecstatic youths- During the year the Psi Delts unexplainably folded their tents and moved from next door to the Zeta house to new living quarters, no one knows where-unless it might be Art Clark, Harold Sanders, or Bob Ballard, who serve as officers, and doubtless Leslie Knott, the business manager. Paul Ferguson was chaplain. The A. T. O.'s were around as usual anyway, supplying the athletic talent for the school and going to classes once in a while, for no apparent reason. Their presi- dent was Paul Stoneg vice-president, Willard Orrg and secretary, Ian McLennan. The S. A. E. cult continued its mysterious and unaccountable existence in the towering hillside house, where ritual flourishes and the president is called Emi- nent Archon. Paul McKalip was it this year, other ornate titles falling to Fleet- wood Iefferson, Charles Hirt, and Douglas Guenther. The Phi Gams struggled despite depressions to maintain their display of more and better cars per front 112. foot, producing a generation of social lions in accordance with their best tradi- tion. Arthur Buell led activities, Horace Reynolds was vice-president, Rice Ober, recording secretary, Richard Oswald, corresponding secretary, and Ioe Forbes, guardian of the glorious past, as historian. Across the street the Sigmas seemed to be trying to emulate their Phi Gam cousins as closely as possible, but somehow unescapably betrayed a boyish individuality unmistakably Sigma. Iames Carney was president, lack Parle, vice-president, Don Heller, secretary, lack Garland, treasurer, and Victor Lytle, house manager, which may account for most any- thing. Swan Hall will never forget the terrific decision wrung from it early this spring. When one of its number confessed to a case of small-pox there arose the harrowing question of whether to be pent-up in quarantine for two god-sent bliss- ful weeks of bridge or to yield to vaccination and be footloose for the nightly moving-picture. After tense, agonized moments the cinema won, and the boys, bandaged but happy, as usual trudged in comradely groups to the nearest neigh- borhood theater. Officers were A1 Hartley, Phil Gemmill, and Tom Kinkead. But shortly after the opening of the Spring semester, the Psi Delta Chi fraternity swept out Swan Hall, quietly but efficiently. Intellectual activity was far from dormant this year. The Sig Alphs, unable to attain the unforgivable 1.92 of the previous year, due to the graduation of their Hrst string geniuses, reached a significant 1.81, falling slightly below their per- petual rivals, the Kappas. The Phi Gams trailed in fourth with a gentlemanly 1.58, and the A. T. O.s made their customary Hne showing. 113 Antoinette lXT:urnder, Honor Slndenl: Pardee lirsllnun, President Phi Bela: Kappa. 114 Paul McKalip Joan MacCluer Dr. James Sinclair James Carney D.

Wheatley 151 F PART V COLLEGE LIFE r I-IOULD a graduate of theioutgoing class survive the immediate future, he could look back with pride to the year of his graduation as a most unusual one. He could tell his grandchildren that he had been turned loose in the fourth year of the Great Depressiong the year when all the banks were closed and civilization saved from collapse or technocracy by the Democratic party. Of course, what he would not tell his grandchildren would be that as a graduating senior he was barely conscious of these great forces. For, if there were great things happening oil -campus, there were events equally momentous occur- ring on-campus which merited closer attention. True, despite its isolation, the campus could not wholly escape the depression. It was only necessary to scan the sullen faces of Executive Committee members to realize that that body was not having the funds to play with that had been given to previous committees. It took but slight observation to notice, moreover, than Bonsack fountain was curtailed to half-flow, and even members of the campus aristocracy were seen in the long bread lines outside the comptroller's ofhce on registration day. These signs ofthe depression, however, were comparatively insignihcant. Campus life went on much as usual. A The campus buzzed with activity. Around the Hrst ofthe year, on a cold morn- ing, a rabbit broke from cover near Swan I-Iall, raced across the quad, passed the women's gym, and was last seen running towards Qrr Hall, ears erect. As this occurred between classes, many students were diverted by the interesting spec- tacle. 153 One of the outstanding dramatic performances of the year was presented in September. Everyman, adapted to the modern audience by Kurt Baer, aroused enthusiasm by the balanced excellence of its music, settings, costuming, and, of course, acting. Attainment of perfection was alone prevented by one tiny flaw. The voice of God in the allegory, as amplified through loud speakers, sounded suspiciously like that of Charles Frederick Lindsleyg so it was perhaps irreverent, but almost inevitable, to expect at any moment an announcement about White King Soap. A tiny, if disturbing, flaw. Three new structures were added to the campus in compliance with the build- ing program. Two of these were ticket booths and the third was a large residence, situated between the Greek Bowl and Erdman I-Iall. Though faculty members were reputed to have made offers, none were allowed to move into the small buildingsg the home, however, seems to have been occupied by Dean Cleland, and family. The elevation of this house was such as to permit a commanding view of every point of the campus. As a consequence, the moral tone ofthe college picked up considerably and sun bathing in Orr gardens was foolishly discon- tinued. A fringe of trees permitted the Greek Bowl to fulhll its recognized func- tions undisturbed. The year was brightened by only one accident of major importance. A student named Black, mixing antagonistic chemicals, was able to conjure a most startling explosion. I-lis hand was badly mangled, and there was much smoke. This, for a time, dampened the spirit of gay adventure so characteristic of Foulair Hall. In deference to Presidential Year, a political rally and straw vote were con- ducted by the college paper. Three speakers--each a Socialist, by the way- spoke for the leading candidates who assorted themselves in the straw vote as fol- lows: Hoover, Thomas, Roosevelt. Unfortunately, the results of this ballot could not be broadcast soon enough to counteract the swing to Roosevelt, and the old tradition- as Cccidental goes, so goes the nation -constant since Mc- Kinley, was Hnally broken. V Mexition nlust be made of the Pomona victory -an event which would alone have made this an immortal year in the college history. Though thoroughly out- played, Cxy won a strategical victory and carried off the larger end of a 13 to 12 score, An amiable strike the next lvlonday secured the traditional holiday after a Pomona licking. Administrative olhcials were cowed by the mob of rowdies led by Paul Bunyan Ferguson, nine-foot songster. 154 February was a brilliant month. On or about the 7th, the volcano picture, thrust upon the school by the class of 1914, was moved to a space above the en- trance to men's chapel. The exact connection between this lurid scene and the weekly chapel talk has not been officially established. It was during this month that the jig-saw puzzle craze took Erdman I-lall by storm, bringing temporary relief. The pink dump truck-pride of the campus-was seen dumping small bales of hay here and there about the campus. To what purpose the hay was put, and why this should be mentioned, are questions open to discussion. Annually, the colleges of Southern California band together to see what can be done about international peace and good will. The problem, this year, was thrashed out before a capacity audience at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. Rice Ober, Oxy prexy, demonstrated his superior intellect over a nationwide network by giving the best speech of the evening. Among the other speakers was one Albert Einstein who spoke in Middle English. Important as the first fire in college history since the holocaust of Highland Park days, the double fire of February II and 12 should be recorded. Erdman Hall, heavily insured, was the scene of number one-a small, intimate fire be- tween floors started by Fred, McLain, comptroller, in a subtle attempt to bal- ance the budget. The Hremen enjoyed themselves so much that the word must have been passed around, for when, the next day, Mr. Mclialip mis-handled the furnace and produced enough symptoms of Hre to justify another alarm, four truck loads of firemen arrived, eager, panting. Adjustment of valves corrected the situation and the Hremen had to return to their checker games, axes undulled. A flock of thirty-seven buzzards was sighted hovering over the Commons one lunch period. Miss Davis drove them away with a broom. The world's worst razor blades were put on sale by the Bookstore at ten cents a package. The year, known as the third in succession without an edition of The Sabre- tooth, was brought to a sudden close on the 1 zth oflune by the graduation of one hundred and forty of Occidental's best. Disapproval of a custom established by the preceding class prevented the selection of a class dog. If it is not too late to mention it, one thing more. On May zz, fifth period, a blue bottle fly flew in one window oflohnson 21, hesitated, then darted out. 155 if ,Rm 2' 5, V. ,. .V ' vfiifvrk I M ex - .- , Y Y '15,-ZW' Vw ' ':.gi?'f, 1 v Cjq .j',, ' -4. .
