And Iulls the animations of the day. The night, hypnotic in its beauty, calls, And quiet, peace, and solitude hold sway. The trees are silvered by a stream of light, Illuminating buildings here and there- ln odd design the paths are patterned now by night And shadows from the dark are everywhere. The stars stand solemn guardians overhead, Blinking, as if to hide identity. The moon, with icy glamour, holds her stead, And all the sky reflects serenity. Too soon the dawn breaks all this spell of night, Too soon this mystery has taken flight. College activities athletics Organizations College lite G Gncine Occidental College los angeles 1934 college Gncina l l l Remsen Du Bois Bird, president Robert Glass Cleland, Dean administration To the average student, the administration of Occidental is largely a mys- tery. He may attend the President's Hour on Tuesday morning, he may dis- cuss fiscal matters with the Comptroller or grade-points with the Registrarg he may hear one of the Deans at an occasional chapel service. Yet he is hardly aware of the operation beneath the casual campus atmosphere of an efficient machine made up of these and other functionaries of the Administration. Dr. Remsen Du Bois Bird has been largely responsible, during his thirteen years as President, for the shaping of Occidental. The college owes much to his indefatigable efforts in behalf of its material well-being. lt is even more thank- ful for the influence of his personality. Through his executive contacts with such organizations as the Los Angeles Philharmanic Orchestra, the California As- sociation for Adult Education, and the Association of Colleges and Universities of the Pacific Southwest, Dr. Bird makes real the Occidental Big Campus . Yet, with all his duties, he is never too busy to counsel such of his children as seek assistance or advice. Miss Olive Hutchinson, Secretary to the President, is as well-known to students as any member of the Administration. As guardian of Dr. Bird's appointment book, Miss Hutchinson smooths the harsh details of pub- lic relations and enables him to accomplish his program efficiently. Although primarily concerned with the college's academic life, Dr. Robert Cv. Cleland, Dean of the Faculty, emphasizes the value of personal association with the student-body. It is as a friend rather than an executive that he will be remembered by departing students. Miss Helen Bruce, Dr. Cleland's secretary, somehow manages also to speak for Occcidental College to those who dial Albany ll5l and to direct strangers who wander into johnson l. page ten Dr. Arthur C-. Coons, Dean of Men, was granted a leave from the college during I933-34 to accept a teaching fellowship at California College in Peiping, China. In Dr. Coons' absence, Dr. Morgan Odell, acting Dean of Men, has ably performed the duties of this office. For him as for no one else this is a year of added responsibility. As Chairman of the Committee on Scholarships and Stu- dent-aid, he administers funds to over one-third of the student-body. His office is in general charge of student employment. He himself is advisor for Swan Hall, and a member of the Men's Chapel Committee and the Men's Council. As Sec- retary to the Dean of Men, Miss Agnes Nohrnberg plays a vital part in the ac- complishment of this full program. After sixteen years' association with Occidental, Dr. Irene T. Myers, Dean of Women, last summer tendered her resignation, effective this june. At the same time she was granted a year's leave of absence for i933-34. Dean Myers is particularly known for her unceasing efforts to provide educational and vo- cational opportunities for Occidental women. Under her administration, associ- ation with business and professional women was fostered, and the achievements of women in national affairs were emphasized. Although the quality of her work for the college deserved and received widespread recognition, it is as a personal counselor and guide that Dean Myres will be remembered by Occidental. In spite of her task of scheduling all college affairs and governing the campus calendar, Mrs. julia A. Pipal, Director of Residence and Social Activi- ties, remains one of the best-loved members of the Administration. Past issues of La Encina have built up a tradition that she is very much over-worked. This year she is doubly busy, for she is also responsible for the work of the Dean of Women. Aiding her is Miss Mary Babcock, who, as Assistant Director of Resi- dence, also helps direct many A.W.S. projects. The Secretary to the Dean of Women, Miss Mabel Wilson, also assists the Registrar and the Comptroller. Fred F. McLain, Comptroller, is the chief business officer of Occidental. His efficiency and the co-operation of an active Committee on Investment of the Board of Trustees may be credited with the successful operation of the College during a period of financial stress. lt may be a matter of pride that Occidental has as sound a fiscal position as any similar institution in the country. Miss janet Hoit, Secretary to the Comptroller, manages many of the details of this office, and somehow contacts students when obligations fall due. The Account- ant, james S. Morrison, attempts to make college debits and credits approximately equal. Everything but finger prints, from matriculation to graduation --this might well be the motto of the Registrar's office. Miss Florence N. Brady, through her patience and interest in individual students, has made for it an en- viable reputation for smoothness and efficiency. To her, and also to Miss Dorothy McLaughlin, Recorder, such things as cross-reference filing systems, grade point averages, and even l. Qfs are simplicity itself. Miss Elizabeth McCloy supervises most of the library administration, and instructs English majors and other impractical people in the use of the card in- dex system. The library serves the educational purpose of all libraries, and proves its collegiate status by contributing to the social life of the campus. As his title implies, Ted Brodhead, who returned to Oxy in i932 as Crad- uate Manager, serves the student body by general supervision of athletic activi- ties. ltiis not so generally known that he also manages the Book Store and aids students in the administration of college publications, Mrs. Elizabeth Prentiss, Secretary to the Graduate Manager, is his right-hand man. La Encina, no Who's Who, makes no claim to give credit wherever due: at- tempts only to suggest the complexity of the operation of the Collegeg asks that registering students remember the words of Milton: They also serve-. page eleven Gncina llrene T.

Authority for this statement is the sophomore class, which set a most excellent example for upperclassmen by attending re- quired chapel services religiously. The junior class seemed to have the campus political situation well in hand by the beginning of the spring semester. But the seniors came through for universal recognition as an outstanding group when Emlyn jones, one of their number, got a job immediately after his graduation. The administration of the class of l934 was handled competently by Sid Lenington, president, Dorothy Hoile, vice-president, Betty Blee, secretary, and Bob Ballard, treasurer. ln November it was reported that the fourth-year class had disappeared. The Chapel Committee, after an investigation, traced the origin of this report to great vacant areas in required chapel sessions, and published an ap- peal to members of the missing class, urging them to make their presence on the campus known by attending an occasional assembly. Even this move seemed to have little effect, however, and in December Mohamet moved to the moun- tain when the administration announced voluntary attendance at classes and some chapel services for upper-division students. Seniors finally gave up try- ing to understand the complicated new regulations and resumed regular class and chapel attendance. Next item in the seniors' year was Ditch Day, which oc- curred during April, and, judging by the complete secrecy surrounding its prep- aration, was a complete success. The class social season reached its height on May l8, when the junior-Senior Prom was held. Astrological readings at the time of this writing promised for the affair a most auspicious evening. Naturally, page sixteen Commencement furnished the central interest for members of the graduating class. For the round of traditional events planned for the second week in june various committees were appointed: Arthur Clark governed the class gift com- mittee, Dorothy Hoile headed the class luncheon committee, Wilbur Reynolds was responsible for announcementsg and Allen Manvel compiled printable epi- sodes of the class history. P Besides the bold souls pictured in the following section, the senior class in- cludes eight members who successfully eluded Mr. Martin and the La Encina staff: Lewis Bates, Don Bourell, Harold Driscoll, Samuel Frazier, Godfrey Mortimer, Gretchen Odell, Winifred Skinner, and Naomi Thompson. Five other students are summer school graduates: Evelyn Bruckner, Virginia Dils, j. Gordon Everett, Mary Foulks, and George Greenough. Marsh Topping presided over the junior class during i933-34. Other exec- utives were: Bee Gibson, vice-president, Ed McNair, secretary, and Bob Paine, treasurer. The usual junior Prom was abandoned this year in favor of a new in- stitution, which already claims the adjective annual , This, the junior-Frosh Dinner Dance, made its debut in the Union on january 5. Early in March the third-year class sponsored the Occidental Players' presentation of The Rivals , a Sheridan comedy whose romantic dilemmae seemed remarkably similar to the problems of the undergraduate. After unsuccessful attempts to participate in Senior Ditch Day, the juniors finally decided to set an example in co-operation by making the junior-Senior Prom a worthy conclusion to three years of inter- class association. As june drew near dignity began to increase in the reigning po- litical element, and when La Encina went to press it was not impossible to im- agine the class of i935 assuming all the privileges and duties of Seniority. Sophomore officers of i933-34 were Bob Packer, president, Wilmena Vin- cent, vice-presidentg Dorothy Messick, Secretary, and Bill Andrus, treasurer. Sophomore history began with a splash on October 4, when an unusually large and spirited group of Frosh established a new tradition, known as the Soph Tub- bing . Following this incident a number of mysterious affairs disturbed the noc- turnal tranquility of the campus, but after a spectacular kidnapping of the first- year class president, the sophomores' sense of honor seemed appeased. On Octo- ber 27 occurred the Soph Stunts. Charles Hall headed the committee in charge: other members were Wilmena Vincent, Henry Page, Frank Real, Charles Nel- son, Dan Gage, Esther Osborne, and jean Nickerson. ln November occurred the Frosh-Soph Rope Rush, which resulted in a fresh- man victoryg the tie-up which followed was pronounced a draw. The Christ- mas dinner, although arranged by the A. S. O. C., provided an opportunity for the sophomores to serve the school again, this time by trimming the Christmas tree. Wilmena Vincent superintended the decoration of the class table, but the juniors' offering, prepared by Bee Gibson, won the prize. The Freshman class was administered by jerry lsett, president: Alice Mc- Dowell, vice-presidentg Sydney Ramsaur secretary, and Vincent jorgensen, treas- urer. Their record would not be complete without mention of the construction of the traditional bon-fire before the Pomona game. Barbara Rush proved her versa- tility by providing the polesg james Buell and Al Bird contributed brute strength for the construction of the pyreg joy jameson drove a truck. And the rest of the class kept an eye peeled for marauding Sagehens. Classes of other years also participated in Occidental life during i933-34. The Alumni Association, headed by Bill Henry, president, Bruce Lawson, vice- president, janet Hoit, secretary, and R. Benajah Potter, treasurer, planned and presented a very successful Homecoming before the San Diego game. The Occi- dental Women's Association was quietly effective this yearg it distinguished it- self particularly by raising ajn additional scholarship for the Scholarship Fund. page seventeen Sncina Elizabeth Blee Robert Ballard Edward I-iasenyager Dorothy Hoile Secrefary treasurer Allen Manvel Wilbur Reynolds senior officers Elyn Bruckner- Virginia C.

Margerie Mitchell, vice-president student administration The Executive Council, as the visible expression of that amorphous entity known as A.S.O.C., may be found in earnest conversation every Monday noon in the Green Room. Here, after lunching, representatives of various student-body elements, the faculty, and the alumni association meet to consider the problems of student administration. Aside from a confidential investigation of the noctur- nal activities of Emlyn jones, the Executive Council busied itself during i933-34 with the All-College Reception Dance in September, Homecoming Wee+lc-end, the traditional Christmas Dinner, an excursion of the student-body president to a convention of similar executives at the University of Oregon, and the All-Col- lege Week-end in April. Perhaps the most noteworthy achievement of the Coun- cil was its co-operation with the faculty in arranging for the no-cut system for upperclassmen. The workings of democracy were well demonstrated by the changes in the A.S.O.C. constitution, proposed by the Council at the beginning of the year and ratified by the student body without study of the proposed amend- ments. The general administration duties of the student body are usually delegated to such bodies as the Honor Court, the Chapel, Social, and Election Committees. Occidental and Cal-tech found themselves this year the only Pacific Coast schools employing the honor system. After last year's local survey of the effects of the plan, the decision to continue freedom and individual responsibility in examina- tions was hailed by the student body as a real expression of Occidental traditions. The Honor Court, as the official body to handle infractions of the honor spirit, was particularly concerned with the operations of the system. The Court tried all cases of dishonesty and decided, subject to administrative execution, the page thirty-two penalty to be exacted. Besides conducting such trials, the Court sponsored an honor assembly at which were presented brief talks by representatives of the freshman and senior classes and of the honor court, as well as a speech by the president of the Cal-tech student body. A definite decrease in trial for dishon- esty during the year gave rise to hopes that eventually the Court may be found unnecessary. The Chapel Committee, which is responsible for importing speakers for Thursday assemblies, performed its duties admirably by contacting many out- standing and interesting personalities. Edwin Markham interpreted his poetry with great effectivenessg Dr. Eric Bell talked on Vigorous Thinking and got local Phi Betes to wondering whether nothing equals one or twog U.S.C.'s Presi- dent von KleinSmid introduced some unconscious humor regarding the ethics of commercial collegiate athleticsg Dr. Freeman delivered an inspiring exposition of the question Who's What? g and Everett Dean Martin of the New York People's Institute was so much appreciated in the initial assembly of the year that he was invited to return to deliver the Commencement address in june. That the Social Committee fulfilled its duties satisfactorily this year was proven by the success of various A.S.O.C. functions and by a most astounding pin-hanging season. The Election Committee also operated successfully in keep- ing ballot-stuffing at a minimum. The Day Twins managed to fool election offi- cials again, and a rumor was verified that the Fijis and Psi Delts had extra ballots printed for the selection of King of Fools, but aside from these minor slip-ups, peace, quiet, and honest log-rolling ruled on election day. Three events constituted that part of the social calendar with which the As- sociated Women Students were particularly concerned this year. The Procession of Lanterns occurred in October, after careful preparations under the direction of the A.W.S. Executive Committee. The men of the campus were allowed to view the procession between the Union and Orr Gardens but were barred as usual from the rest of the program, at which new members of the local feminine family were introduced to the college's extra-curricular activities by skits de- signed to depict their purposes and operations. ln january, the traditional Co-ed Hop gave the mens' purses a much needed rest. Corsages of straw flowers were in order as members of the A,W.S. carried through their program of financing the entire affair. The Hawaiian theme of the evening gave everyone a chance to learn about The Little Grass Shack at Kealakakuau from the Oxy Trio, composed of Kay Revo, Marty Messick and Esther Phillips. The Mediterranean architecture of Orr Gardens was host to a curious assem- bly of Olde English lassies when the annual May Festival furnished entertainment and instruction for visiting high-school women and mountain-climbing experi- ence for curious campus males. Music and dancing occupied the visitors' after- noon, and a banquet in the Union concluded a busy day. The Associated Men Students, in addition to its customary duties, sponsored three important events during l933-34. The second annual Men's Dinner in jan- uary provided an opportunity to learn about The College Man's Place in Politics from Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin. ln March, the annual Men's Day gave the A.M.S. the responsibility of caring for some two hundred and fifty high school seniors. Even instruction was included in the day's plans in the form of a phy- sics demonstration. Getting acquainted with the campus and with adjoining houses filled the afternoon, and a banquet in the Union gathered the wandering visitors together. Attendance at the evening performance of The Rivals as guests of the A.M.S. climaxed the program of the day. During April and May, the A.M.S. Executive Council sponsored a series of lectures by noted biologists and psycho- logists on the various aspects of preparation for marriage. And it was upon this prophetic note that the year's activities of Occidental men came to a conclusion. page thirty-three Gnome Eleanor-Tuttle Donald Fareed Arthur Clerk Ruth lvlacCluer secretar forensic representative president of men president of women joseph Forbes Steve Salisian Burns Lee Robert Ortman athletic representative yell leader editor occidental chairman bengal board executive committee page thirty-four r - - .

The Occidental , appearing weekly, provides current campus news, the more obvi- ous gossip, and bits of wisdom from the minds of the editorial staff. The an- nual, La Encina, attempts to present a simple, concise record for the college year, through both earnest scrivening and candid photography. According to the United States Post Office, the Occidental , official pub- lication of the Associated Students, is second-class matter, but judging by the thundering herds that trample shrubbery in the process of getting from two chapel services into the book-store every Wednesday, the campus citizenry considers it entertainment of a high order. iDr. Stelter please note? During the fall semes- ter Burns Lee continued his most successful administration of the paper as editor- in-chief. Charles lennings and Charles Curtis, as assistant editors, supervised make-up and proof-reading until the wee small hours, and devised cunning meth- ods of adapting the news to the size of the paper, which fluctuated like the stock market between four and six pages. Virginia MCC-regor guided the activ- ity of staff writers in the gathering of news, and lerome Hull conducted a sports page which included his own Sportitorial . Allen Manvel surrendered respon- sibility for the feature page to Carroll Day in the middle of the semester, but continued his belligerent column of Sparks , Kitty Mae l-lullinger, assisted by Mary lean Childs, conducted an omniscient College Life department that gen- erally gave the feminine element something to tal-k about, while Donald Carter, as advertising manager, kept the paper on an even financial keel and helped make possible the largest paper in the history of the college. A bevy of staff writers that bore the burden of most of the actual writing included Bill Andrus, Doro- page forty-two thy Bell, Ruth Babcock, Bill Burt, Bob Colodny, Dorothea Davis, Margaret Day, Elise Hoagland, james Hudson, George johnson, Marjory McGregor, Bob Paine, Martha Sanborn, john Stevenson, Harry Shearin, Eleanor Walker, Norman Wil- son and Doris Worcester. After a hectic campaign, jerry Hull was elected editor for the year begin- ning in February, and announced that few staff changes would be made, Bob Scrim was named to handle the news editor's job, with the assistance of George johnson, Willard Williams took charge of the sports page, even to the point of compiling a weekly column of Spurts and Strides , Mary jean Childs became social editor, and the feature staff was swelled by the addition of Vincent Reel, Rod Mar-kley, and Karl Snyder. The first two contributed to the growing number of columns , and the latter made entertaining cartoons known as linoleum cuts. A sizeable staff infested the student body offices for many weeks in pre- paring this year's La Encina. The work of the editor, Gordon Goodhart, began dur- ing the summer of I933, when such matters as theme and general treatment re- ceived consideration. Duncan Davidson, to whom is due credit for the scenic division pages, also began his photography at that time. With the opening of the school year, staff appointments were made: Helen Louise Weber, as assist- ant editor, brought the experience of work on last yearis La Encina, as well as the editorship of the A.W.S. Handbook, Don Carter became advertising manager, and Allen Manvel, as literary editor, superintended the writing. But these indi- viduals and their assistants were not responsible for all the activity around the La Encina office, confusion was increased by the strange desire of Occidental staff members to use the new paper-cutter, as well as by perennial delegations of students who desired to gaze upon the panels in which their annual pictures were arranged. A patient and long-suffering spirit on the part of the editor saved these elements from physical injury, but was sometimes insufficient to prevent a verbal cleaning of the La Encina office. Most of this year's group pictures were taken by jim Whitsellg snapshots came in every conceivable way, but Lys johnson, Kay Miyakawa and jimmy Doo made the largest contributions in this field. Assisting the literary editor were jerome Hull, who handled varsity sports, Kitty Mae Hullinger, Martha Sanborn, the Day twins, and Sam Pearson. Maryjean Childs and Park Gosson asumed sec- retarial duties, while McCoy Grant, with the assistance of Alfred Bird, collected money from campus organizations. The proximity of Miss Mary Babcock's of- fice to La Encina headquarters resulted in her being ma de unofficial censor. The two handbooks of the year provided new students with information about organizations, traditions, and personnel of the campus. The A.W.S. Hand- book, edited entirely by Helen Louise Weber, set a precedent by including pic- tures of leading lights of the local feminine world. It was also to be distinguished from the more voluminous A.S.O.C. Handbook by a pleasing torn-leaf effect, and by the extremely modest type used to indicate its editorship. The Associated Student Handbook was edited by Robert Scrim, with the assistance of Willard Williams and Ellsworth Ingram. After every member of the Freshman Class had perused sections somewhat hopefully entitled Of General Interest , Of Inter- est to Men and Of Interest to Women , and had skipped hastily over The Ten Commandments to find himself in The Rooting Section , the Handbook resumed its usual role of the universal datebook for campus land otherl affairs. The Campus Directory of I933-34 undoubtedly set a record for volume of information and advertisement, it also intrigued the campus with its orange cover decorated by a beautiful funeral-parlor announcement. john Maclnnis, '33 was editor and business manager, and was assisted by Frank Hughes and jack Talbert. page forty-three Gncina Gordon Coodharf Helen Louise Weber Allen Manvel Donald Carter A ,editor associate editor literary editor advertising manager l jerome Hull , Catherine Mary Hullinger V Park Cossom ' McCoy Grant W-W Alfred Bird Mary jean Childs 'Mary Louise Andrus Samuel Pearson la encina staff page forty-four Robert Scrim Frank Hughes ' Willard Williams l Ted Brodhead a.s.o.c. handbook editor Helen Louise Weber a.w.s. handbook editor 1 a. s. o. c. and a. w. s. handbooks Willard williams A Walton Andrews Y Agnes Nohrnberg Charles Curtis' 4, . , ,,.,,, W... ,.

The Players officially opened their season on November l7-l8 with two successful performances of jerome K. jerome's Passing of the Third Floor Back. Included in the cast were: William Parkhurst as the Stranger, Olive Hanson, Marie Carroll, Tom Kinkead, Rod Markley, Norita Keppel, Ruth Ans- pach, Charles Hirt, Mary Croft, and Charles Hall. The impertinent pledges of the Oxy Players saw fit to ridicule the attempted art of their should-be-respected seniors in a most touching poetical take-off, The Passion on the Third Floor Black, by Lucy Thompson and Sandy Sanborn. This masterpiece was presented at the honorable Professor Lindsley's home at an Oxy Players meeting. By popu- lar vote, it was announced the hit of the year. The dramatic stars continued their theatrical program on january ll and l2. At this time, a group of one-acts was presented. The most outstanding proved to be Comrade , directed by Olive Hanson, with Thurman Wilkins, Char- liss Reeves, james Luneberg, Ed Groh, and Annie Lou Whitehouse in the cast. Murder on the Giant Stair , directed by Dorothy Bell, gave Vivian Andre, Rod Markley, Marie Carroll, and Roland Corry an opportunity for a bit of heavy act- ing. Cora Burt, Virginia Worley, Melvin Nelson, Magda Lena Derzaph, and Eliz- abeth Mullen comprised the cast of judgement Comes to Dan'l , which was directed by Norita Keppel. The last play was the amusing Proposal Under Dif- ficulties , with Dorothy Levey, john Lewis, Agnes McKinstry and Willard Wil- liams. The play was well directed by Martha Cunningham. Later in the year, the last three mentioned plays were given for a benefit at Luther Burbank junior High School. On April l7, Murder On The Giant Stair was again repeated in Orange. page forty-eight With only three weeks of intensive rehearsing, Sheridan's comedy, The Rivals was presented in the Little Theater on March 15 and 16. The cast in- cluded Olive Hanson, William Parkhurst, Martha Sanborn, Bernard Melekian, Gretchen Odell, Dorothy Bell, Willard Williams, Rod Mar-kley, james Hamilton, Carl Shupp, and Walter Woods. Interesting to note was the fact that Franklin High School gave the same play only two weeks previously, and came over en- masse to see some truly perfected acting. The culminating event of the year was Kurt Baer's delightful adaption of the old ltalian comedy by Goldone, Marriages Are Made , given in the Greek Bowl on the night of the annual Spring Festival, April 27. The original title read- Marriages Are Made ln Heaven , but for presentation on the sedate Occidental Campus, it was decided a discreet move to omit the last phrase. Kurt Baer pleased with his interpretation of Truffaldino Baldocchio. Others in the play were: Nor- ita Keppel, Olive Hanson, Charles Hirt, William Parkhurst, Dorothy Bell, Thur- man Wilkins, Vivian Andre, Charles Hall, james Hamilton and john Lewis. Minor parts included: Annie Lou Whitehouse, Neil Rankin, Ruth Anspach, Yvonne Gardner, Peggy Harvey, and jean Heninger. Not to be outdone by any other division, the Music department put up a most presentable front during 1933-34, entertaining at various campus programs and representing Occidental at numerous public affairs. The Glee Clubs opened their year with an assembly program on November 2 at Glendale High School and showed their near-by neighbors just how this college teaches its students to uti- lize their operatic faculties. This program was followed by campus programs at Thanksgiving and Christmas, in which were presented members of the music de- partment, including the Glee Clubs and vocal and instrumental soloists. On Feb- ruary 11 the Oxy Singers, comprised of the combined Clubs, were featured in a program at Calvary Presbyterian Church. Their next local presentation, in the Vespers service of March 17, was well received. The familiar locale undoubtedly contributed to the finish and ease which characterized this program. Occidental played host this year to the Intercollegiate Glee Club Contest of this area, which was held in the auditorium of Eagle Rock High School. The Occidental Women's Glee Club captured third place in this competition. Early in May the women journeyed to Pasadena to present a concert in return for the visit of the Cal-tech Club to the Oxy campus. The highlight of second semester activities was reached in the presentation of the Home Concert on May 10. A vesper service at the Highland Par-k Presby- terian Church was scheduled for May 13. After the traditional Memorial Day pro- gram at the Greek Theater, the activities of the Music department were focused on preparation for Baccalaureate and Commencement programs. An addition of the Music department in the field of vocal endeavor was the Women's Sextette, taking the place of the usual men's quartet. The Sextette entertained at various campus programs and in Santa Barbara on May 21. This group, which is rapidly becoming one of the most active and prominent musical organizations in the college, is composed of Cora Burt, Martha Messick, Frances Brockmeier, Katherine Hamilton, Eugenie Snowhook, and Virginia Keaster. Helen Hornberger accompanies, and Mrs. Hartley directs. The initiative of those interested in music was shown this semester by the appearance of another group on the campus, the String Quintet. Frank Boyer, Werner Bracher, Eleanor Pabst, Mary Magnusson, and joseph Landon comprise this group, which entertained at the dinner hour in the college union on many occasions and was also selected by the A.W.S. to play for the May Fete dinner. Their music was well received at many campus affairs, especially at the chapel on April 30. This group also represented Occidental at South Pasadena and at Anaheim. page forty-nine Gncina First row: Orville Armstrong, Sam Pearson, William McDou- gall, Harry Shearin, joe Landon, john Boyles, Donald McKen- ney, Tom Kinkead.

Another of the company, one Shakespeare, scratched his head, Cracked, mayhap, he said, but all this sound and fury must signify something. lt all started last fall. Don Fareed, as Forensics Manager, called a meeting of all men and women interested in forensic activities. Shortly after that things began to happen. Debate squads were organized and began work on the national Pi Kappa Delta question. Ed Croh and Floy Hendricks, representing Oxy, acquit- ted themselves well at the extempore speaking contest, held at Whittier on No- vember sixteenth. ln the first radio debate of the year Ed Croh and Don Fareed argued with Glendale j.C. over KIEV on the subject of Inflation. December l9th Croh and Fareed journeyed to Redlands for the annual Invi- tational Tournament. Winning six out of their eight debates, they finished fourth among a hundred teams from the western part of the country. Fareed also man- aged somehow to take time out to walk away with first place in the Extempore Contest, winning over eighteen colleges. Fareed and Croh trekked northward be- tween semesters, meeting San Francisco University, Stanford, and California. After the student body elections, Forensic Manager Fareed was succeeded by Ed Crroh, who continued in this capacity until the second semester when he went to Arizona and Bernard Melekian took over the office. page fifty-six After the Christmas holidays, debates followed thick and fast. Dave C-erecht and Don Fareed met Caltech on their own campus, Melvin Nelson and Don Fareed met Stanford Varsity before the South Pasadena Kiwanis Clubg Barney Melekian and Dick Lund argued with the Utah Aggies on the Oxy campus and then went to S.C. to tangle up with the fast talking Trojans. Melekian and Lund met a Stanford team in Chapel, while C-erecht and Melekian teamed up for the San Francisco U. argument held in the men's lounge. Meanwhile the women's squad was making life miserable for the patient janitors by monopolizing the chapel at all hours in preparation for a series of debates arranged by Manager Elizabeth Mullen. Bonnie Kiser and Mary Elizabeth Wilson met Pasadena College in their first argument on campus, while Eleanor Walker and Sandy Sanborn drove to Pasadena. Marie Carroll and Doris Worces- ter met Redlands in the women's lounge one evening, and the next day M. E. Wilson and Bonnie Kiser journeyed to Redlands. The following week M. E. Wil- son and Bonnie Kiser met U.S.C. on the negative, while Marie Carroll and Doris Worcester took the affirmative. Then U.C.L.A. was greeted by Eleanor Walker and Bonnie Kiser, while Marie Carroll and Doris Worcester traveled to the U.C.L.A. campus. One spring day a women's team from Berkeley, touring the southland, stopped over to meet Sandy and Doris in a debate before the Public Speaking class. And on April thirtieth Marie, Doris, Sandy, and Bonnie presented an exhibition debate, Oregon style, before the Women's Democratic Club at Alhambra. The climax of the season was, of course, the famous Bakersfield trip, when the girls engaged in four Oregon style debates before various classes and student body organizations. One of the most interesting events of the year to the participants was the Pi Kappa Delta Invitational Tournament at Caltech, attended by over two hundred speakers from the western colleges. A sizeable group from Oxy took part. Mel Nelson and Dic-k Lund entered the debate tournament, winning four out of six of their contests. Nelson and Melekian entered Extempore, while john Stevenson, Leonard jones, Nelson and Melekian took part in Oratory. Martha Sanborn and Doris Worcester entered women's debate, while Floy Hendricks took part in Ex- tempore, and Eleanore Davis in Oratory. After several rounds, it was found that Melekian had won first place in Oratory, Floy second in Extempore, and Elanore second in Oratory. An event of particular interest to the student body was the symposium held in chapel on the Crisis in Government. Dave Cerecht upheld Fascism, Ed C-roh defended Socialism, while Melvin Nelson found our solution in Democracy. Open forum, conducted by Don Fareed, brought interested and lively response from the audience. Women's chapel, too, held a symposium one day, sponsored by Off- Campus Women. Margaret Tepper introduced the subject f'Women in the Mod- ern World g Elanore Davis talked on What More Do Women Want , Martha Sanborn on Come Out of the Kitchen , and Floy Hendricks on the Equality of the Sexes . April 26th brought the Oratorical Contest of the Southern California Confer- ence, held at La Verne, where Dick Lund received a medal for second place in the men's division, and Floy Hendricks represented Oxy in the women's division. As this review of the year's activities goes to press, two other outstanding events are still to come. May lOth will see the annual Peace Contest at Pomona, and the Interpretative Reading Contest of the Southern California Conference, at U.S.C. This contest was held on our own campus last year. At that time, too late for last year's annual, Olive Hanson won first place in the women's division. Pins, awarded each year in recognition of debate work, go this year to Melvin Nelson, Doris Worcester, Bonnie Kiser, Ed Croh, and Dave Cierecht. Pearls, indi- cating another year of service for those already holding pins, go to Marie Carroll, M. E. Wilson, Don Fareed, Barney Melekian, and Richard Lund. page fifty-seven Gncina Eianorc Davis Olive Hanson Richard Lund Bernar 'Martha Sanborn public speaking participants d Melek pg ffty ght Marie Carrollil Bonnie Kiser Martha Sanborn Mary E.

He also won letters in basketball and baseball. On his ar- rival at Occidental in i924 with an experience so remarkably broad, he was im- mediately assigned to the job of trainer for all athletes, a position which he held for seven years. Last season the coaching of varsity football, basketball, and base- ball were also his responsibilities. During his service here, Anderson has stood for clean playing, hard fighting and true sportsmanship, the kind of ideals he has instilled in his men will carry over into their activities long after they have left college. Coach joe Timberwolf Pipal is an Occidental institution. Contrary to a more or less prevalent idea his nickname did not originate in the unearthly howls with which he regularly announces, before the annu-al Pomona meet, that injuries and ineligibilities have reduced Oxy to a one-man track squad. As a matter of fact, Pipal became the Timberwolf back in the Pleistocene football age when football coaches were allowed to tramp the sidelines during exciting games. On one occasion, when Pipal was guiding football activities, he was detected during the Pomona game stalking up and down with a lean and hungry look before the stands. An acute reporter caught a new impression, and since the time the story of the game was printed joe Pipal has remained Oxy's Timberwolf, Coach PipaI's willingness to work with his men and his ability to bring out their latent powers has earned him the love and respect of everyone: with whom he comes in contact. He has turned out more than one track team of national repu- tation, and has developed numerous outstanding athletes. Line Coach Pickard deserves much credit for his invaluable assistance to Bill page sixty- two Anderson. Pickard hails from Alabama where he captained the football team and won All-American honors in tackle position. Karl Trieb heads the Physical Edu- cation department, and coaches wrestling and gymnastics. Harry Bigger, former football trainer, has charge of all swimming activities, and produces worthy aqua- tic squads. james Bird, who has had much experience in both playing and coach- ing tennis, was added to the physical education coaching staff as tennis coach for the i934 season. The Athletic Council, which exists to maintain perfect harmony in the various branches of athletics, also controls the granting of awards, directs the management system, and supervises the appointment of all senior managers. The recording of all awards and athletic records also falls within the scope of this group's duties, which are prosaic but absolutely vital to the proper operation of Occidental's sports. joe Forbes served during i933-34 as chairman of the Council. Athletic management is not all recreation, judging by the sobriquets that adorn those who assume its responsibilities. During i933-34 for the fourth con- secutive year, Oxy employed a competitive managerial system that provided for the training and choice of managers in the major sports. ln football, Ed C-ulick, as senior manager, joe Landis, as junior manager, and Bob Scrim and Chuck Hall as sophomore managers, reflected the system in its full development. A similar arrangement existed in basketball, where Bob Paine was senior manager, Rod Markley junior manager, and Bob Scrim and Ellsworth Ingram sophomore man- agers. Bob Scrim was baseball manager, assisted by joey jameson. ln basketball two juniors, Bill Brubaker and Dave Cerecht took charge while Kenneth Dau- walder and Val Kolesoff handled tennis and swimming respectively. Bob Ortman and Al Hartley, as chairmen of the Bengal Board during the first and second semesters respectively, were largely responsible for the series of excel- lent rallies that enlivened i933-34. From off-campus came musical novelties, famous Oxy alumni, and athletic notables from other schools to feature these Friday affairs, while domestic talent was used at other times to present skits that packed Alumni Hall with an enthusiastic crowd. The musical features best re- membered were johnny Robinson's orchestra, whose singer's rendition of Kick- ing the Gong Around was much appreciated by the right half of the auditorium, Martha Tilton, popular blonde vocalist of Hal Roberts' orchestra, and Mel Ruick's Biltmore orchestra. Ex-Occidentalites who spoke at rallies included Ralph Deems, captain of the team that defeated California in l927, and Bruce Kirkpatrick, who captained the i920 squad. From U.S.C. came Coach Howard jones at the beginning of the season to assure his audience that it was the game itself and not the victory that counted. Before the Santa Barbara game, Coach Fox Stan- ton of Caltech delivered a pep-talk that was well received, but after that week's crushing defeat by the Roadrunners, the tiger felt the need of renovation. The task was assumed by local talent in the next rally, when an Operation on the Tiger resulted in the removal of lead from the poorly camouflaged anat- omy of Frankie Hughes and its replacement by a generous dose of Spirits of Oxy . Horseplay also preceded the Pomona track meet, when Alumni Hall wit- nessed a hay-seed orchestra trying to make a scared Sagehen dance to Turkey in the Straw . This was also the occasion of. Coach Pipal's famous punning at- tack which ended with a reverent Ehmann . Altogether, the rally program of the year received the enthusiastic approval of the student-body and contributed much to the enjoyment of the various sports' seasons. The decision of the Pasadena junior College Band to abandon its traditional task of playing at all Occidental football games resulted this year in the forma- tion of what may truly be termed the first Occidental Band. l I page sixty-th ree Qncina Coach Bill Anderson Coach loc Pipal I-larry Bigger I joseph Forbes football, basketball, baseball track, froslri football swimming track assistant Carl Trieb . lan McLennan gymnastics V trainer athletic coaches page sixty-four loseph Forbes john Rowland -Emlyn jones V Ted 5rOdl'lGHd Bill Anderson I I athletic council Ed Culick Bob Paine David Gerecht Kenneth Dauwalder football basketballi 5 track 1 1 tennis M Val Kolesoff 'Swimming athletic managers page sixty-five Gnclne Robert Ortman Agnes lVlcKinstry Al Hartlcy Steve Salisizin chairman Willard Williams Frank Hughes A Edwin Cullck Robert Boynton l t . , , , A Formerly known as the Rally Committee, the Bengal Board this year deserves praise for the manner in which it promoted all rallies.

Steve was assisted by Frankie Hughes -he of the beaming countenance-who proved to be the life of the party. yell leaders page sixty-seven Qncina M H Robert Ackland, captain Hal McMillan, captain-elect football A light, inexperienced football team represented Occidental this year, a squad that broke the monotony of a mediocre season with flashes of brilliant play, and ended in a tie for fourth place in the conference, after four defeats and two victories. Prospects at the start of the season were anything but brightg Coach Bill Anderson was greeted by only ten lettermen, including two former first stringers, but the team rapidly took shape as a representative outfit. After barely a week's practice, the Tigers met the national championship University of Southern California Trojans in a double-header that featured Oc- cidental and the second and third strings of the Thundering Herd in the first game, Whittier and the first and fourth strings of the Trojans in the second. Paul Paulsen featured the offensive of the Tigers when he scampered around the bul-ky Trojan flank for an eleven yard gain to chalk up one of Oxy's three first downs. joe Forbes astonished the fans by punting over the U.S.C, safety man's head on several occasionsg Captain Ackland threw some nifty passes. The final score was 39 to O in favor of the Trojans. Whittier was beaten 5l to O. A journey to Arizona was next on the Oxy schedule, and the Bengals, fighting their heads off in the desert heat before a capacity crowd, held the powerful Wildcats scoreless in the first half, but faded and lost i8 to O in the closing period. Gordon Everett, at center, played an outstanding game for the Tigers in this encounter, The Bengals opened the conference season two weeks later against the championship Bulldogs at Redlands. The Red and Black squad uncorked a -deadly passing attack and before the game was five minutes old had scored the open- ing touchdown. Late in the second quarter the Bulldogs scored again, once more page sixty-eight gaining the promised land by the aerial route. Coach Bill Anderson injected his entire second string into the game in a desperate attempt to stave off the Red- lands thunderbolt. The substitutes gained possession of the ball and marched straight down the field to the first Oxy score of the year lwhich was also the only touchdown scored against Redlands in conference playl. However, in the second half the Bulldogs again connected with their aerial attack and the game ended Zl to 6 in favor of Redlands. After this decisive defeat, it was with fear and trembling that Oxy faced Cal-Tech, ancient and deadly rival, in the Rose Bowl. Coach Fox Stanton let loose a veritable cyclone on the unhappy Tigers in the first quarter and only the mar- velous defensive playing of Marsh Beebe, Bob Cleland, and Ray Gough prevented the Engineers from scoring. Once the inexperienced Bengal forward wall got used to the Beaver reverses and fake reverses all was well. Late in the second quarter the Tigers scored and Captain Aokland drop-kicked for the' extra point. And that one point won the game for Occidental, for the Cal-Tech squad came back in the third quarter for a touchdown but failed to convert, losing, 7-6. Tragedy, dark and unexpected, struck the overconfident Bengals in their game at Santa Barbara when a smashing, tearing Roadrunner squad rose up with a supreme combination of fight and brains and defeated Occidental 6-O. Coach Anderson must have used some sort of necromancy on his team dur- ing the next week, for the ailing, toothless, decrepit Tiger that faced Santa Bar- bara became a raging, snarling, clawing fury against the Whittier Poets, heavy favorites for the conference title. But the fighting spirit of the Bengals was not enough to offset the Poet power and Coach Newman's boys eked out a slender 7 to 6 triumph. G. O. Bixler, diminutive Oxy halfback, played the finest game of his brilliant career in this battle. The Tigers made more first downs, com- pleted more passes, made more yardage from scrimmage and in general played bet- ter football than Whittier, but Lady Luc-k saved her smile for another day. , ln the annual home-coming game on Patterson field against the invading San Diego Aztecs, the Bengals turned in their finest game of the season. An inter- cepted pass returned to a touchdown by Marsh Beebe and a score by Bixler from the two yard line brought the Oxy squad two scores, while the Bengal forwards held Bill Bailey, San Diego's brilliant fullback, in check whenever the hard-run- ning Aztec got within striking distance of the Oxy goal. Into the San Gabriel valley in search of the Pomona Sagehen went the Tigers the next week. Although the Bengals got off to an early three point lead when johnny Rowland place-kicked neatly in the first quarter, the Sagehens came back later in the game and scored three touchdowns. The loss of Bixler, who was hurt on the second play of the game, and the lavish help of the referee enabled Pomona to break the Oxy morale and go on to make the game a rout. McMillan, captain-elect, and Duffy Lewis did some nice ball carrying for Oxy. Thus ended a disastrous season for the varsity. Tiger fans are eagerly await- ing next year, for which brighter prospects are in view. Only Everett and Shupp graduate from the regular line and although Forbes, Ackland, Bixler, and Paul- sen in the backfield forsake the pigskin for the sheepskin, a few burly substi- tutes will be on hand to gladden the heart of Coach Anderson, come September. Although Occidental's freshman football team completed the i933-34 sea- son without winning a game, Coach Pipal developed some valuable material for varsity use in coming campaigns. The frosh started the season with a 24 to 7 loss at the hands of a strong Cumnock j.C. team. By the Cal-Tech first year men the Oxy babes were defeated i3 to O in a thrilling encounter. The Freshmen next returned from a journey to Taft High School on the short end of a Zl to O score, a more experienced team ready for the Pomona yearlings. The Sagechix, however, were also too strong for the Bengals and won I3 to 6 in a closely contested battle. page sixty-nine Sncine '931.QsY First row: Landis, Wangeman, Beebe, Hammack, Winterburn, Bixler, Paulsen, Snyder, McMillan, P.

The Bengals faced a tough assignment in the Southern Conference hoop ranks this year because of the predominance of outstanding squads, and only after a season of brilliant playing in the face of heavy odds could the team gain a tie for fourth place in the final standings. Double wins over Pomona, ancient and deadly rival, made the season a suc- cess even though the Tigers lost their series to both San Diego and Redlands. Opening the season against the Sagehens in the local gymnasium, the confident Bengal Hoopsters nearly met with disaster, for the Blue and White institution turned out a far more potent outfit than anyone had looked for. lt was only through the heroic playing of Bill Reynolds that the game was finally won, 30 to 24. A stunning set-back at the hands of the La Verne Leopards was the result of the next conference encounter, but the Tigers, thoroughly mad, journeyed to the home of the Leopards for the return engagement, and there administered as thrilling a licking as the natives in those parts ever witnessed. lust as the Eisan- men had kept Captain Pupis covered during the first game so did the Oxy guards, Topping and Beebe, keep the star La Verne forwards, Carter and Elder, under control while the rest of the team proceeded to make attending fans ready for the well known padded-cell. Opening the second half on the short end of the score, Oxy's melon-tossers soon forged into the lead with a brilliant rally. But page seventy-six by sinking a few foul shots the home boys sent their stock booming, and as the timer drew his gun, the Bengals were trailing by one point. However, Captain Pupis, lurking at mid-court, intercepted a stray Leopard pass and sent the ball through the netting for the winning points. The final score was 36 to 343 the Leopards had won the first game 34 to 23. After this hair raising series, Coach Anderson escorted his men to Redlands for a tiff with the championship bound Bulldogs. Occidental, playing on a large court for the first time during the season and with a lack of adequate reserve strength, led up to the last few minutes of play, but finally succumbed to the powerful onslaught of the Bulldogs, 30 to 22. A savage, determined Tiger varsity met the defending champion Whittier team in the Alumni gymnasium in the next contest and one of the wildest bat- tles of the year resulted. With its fast breaking offense and the perfect marks- manship of Al Pupis, Oxy forged into an early lead and finally won by the score of 45 to 38. Topping and Beebe played fine defensive basketball in this thrilling upset of the defending conference champions. The Poets returned the compli- ment the next night when they invited the Tigers to the Quaker city and proceed- ed to run up a 24 to l6 victory. Occidental played host to the weak Cal-tech Engineers for the next confer- ence battle and in this gamer Coach Anderson's boys played the finest basketball of the season. Using two teams, one for each half, the Tigers went on a scoring rampage that kept the rim of the basket red hot. When the Engineers finally walked off the court at the end of the game, they had a grand total of l0 points to their credit, and Occidental had scored 60 digits. The second team composed of Howe, Cemmell, Packer, Cough and Reynolds marked up 3l points during their period of play, and the first stringers managed to account for the rest of the score. At San Diego the next week the Tigers played their worst series and lost both games to the championship-bound Aztecs. The border city boys put a bril- liant team against the Bengals and fully deserved to win, but Occidental did not play the high type of basketball that marked the rest ofthe season. The scores were: San Diego 33 Oxy 24 in the first game, and San Diego 27 Oxy 23 in the last game. After this double defeat the team trekked north to Santa Barbara where they trimmed the Roadrunners by a score of 40 to l8. ln the last conference game of the season Occidental journeyed to Pomo- na. This game, played before a capacity crowd of rabid partisan fans, was a thriller from start to finish. Both squads were primed for their finest efforts and as the battle wore on the lead see-sawed back and forth. As the end drew near the count was tied up tighter than a sailor's knot, and it began to look as though the fracas would have to be decided in an overtime period. But in the last few seconds of play Bob Packer, sophomore forward, arched a high shot that found the basket for the winning two points for Occidentalg and the final score was 26 to 24. lakel, Ruffner, Packer, and Pupis were outstanding in this game. In conference play the Tigers amassed a total of 345 points against 296 for their opponents and beat two of the strongest fives in the loop, Whittier and La Verne. Captain Pupis, who, along with Reynolds, played his last season of bas- ketball, was fourth high scorer in the entire conference. One of the finest play- ers ever developed at Occidental, Pupis was an inspiring leader and a brilliant, steady player. l-le ended his college career by being chosen on the all-confer- ence team. Topping and Beebe were picked for the second team. Marshall Top- ping will lead the team next year after being chosen captain at the end of the sea- son, only two varsity members will graduate and the prospects for a representa- tive team are bright. l I page seventy-seven Gncina First row: Don Gates, Don Turner, Inman Lanterman, Frank jakel, john Reiter, AI Pupis, Marsh Beebe, Bob Packer, Dick Lund.

Civen but little chance to extend the defending championship Sagehen team, Coach Pipal brought his men along slowly and surely until they were in top condition for the crucial test, and, with every man on the team turning in his best performance of the year, Occidental emerged victorious by the narrow margin of l-3 point, the final score being 70 U6 to 69 SX6. The dramatic climax to this contest came during the last event of the day, before the relay. A clean sweep in the lavelin was needed to cinch the meet for Coach Strehle's athletes, and Pomona's trio, D. Pollard, R. Pollard, and Critten- don, seemed capable of shutting out Oxy's lone star, Gordon Everett. The two Pollard brothers soon demonstrated their ability to capture the first two places in the event, but Everett, by a magnificent throw, had kept ahead of Crittendon during the preliminaries. ln the finals, Everett could not beat his previous mark, which was about one foot ahead of Crittendon's best throw, and Crittendon, amid the exhortations of his team-mates, and the cheers of the anxious crowd, tried his last toss. The wand rose high and steady but fell short of the third place mark which Everett had set, and the meet had to be decided, now, by the relay. page eighty-two Even more thrilling than the javel in contest was the baton event. Pomona had beaten the Tiger runners once before in the year at the Riverside relays, and all indications pointed toward another victory for the Sagehen runners. Coach Pipal, however, had a joker up his sleeve for contingencies such as this. He had Vincent Reel, star sprinter, who had won both the hundred and the two twenty already that day, run first man for the Bengal quartet. Reel responded nobly to this strategy and gave Mel Tuttle, second man, a good three yard lead. Tuttle, whose main forte is hurdling, pounded around the track like a veteran quarter miler to hand Merl Sourke a good margin over his opponent. Sourke and Haden, both outstanding runners, were too strong for the Sagehen baton passers and l-laden finished with a good five yard margin over the Blue and White man. That race not only gave Occidental a stirring victory over Pomona but also set a new conference record of 3 min. 23 sec. Despite the upset of the Sagehens, the Tigers could not win either their meet against Cal-Tech or San Diego, both of which encounters were lost by only a few points. Opening the conference season against the supposedly weak Engineers, Coach Pipal was without the services of his star weight man, Cor- don Everett. l-lowever, the Tigers were expected to win handily. Coach Fox Stan- ton had his men keyed to a high pitch for the meet, and strength in the weights and distances won for the Engineers by the close score of 72V2 to 67 V2. The encounter was featured by the victory of Vincent Reel, Oxy sprinter, over the Cal-Tech flash, Creal. Reel won going away in the fast time of 9.9. Occidental's surprise win over Pomona made the Tigers threats for the championship, but because of their loss to Cal-Tech, to win the title the Ben- gals needed also to emerge victorious in the annual conference meet. Pomona with her strongest team in years, however, smashed through in brilliant fashion to walk away with top scoring honors in this meet. San Diego, bringing a few all-round stars from the border city, nosed Occidental out for sec- ond place. Pomona chalked up a total of 49 points. San Diego annexed 36 digits while Oxy finished with 3l. The second first place of the day for the Tigers was won by the relay team in a brilliant rally that swept them from last to first place in three laps. Bengal hopes were given a jolt in this meet when Harley l-laden was unable to compete in the quarter mile and lvlel Tuttle was forced out of the hurdles. Captain jack Hallatt soared to new heights in the pole vault but was nosed out for first place honors by Rand of San Diego, who cracked the conference record. Vincent Reel won high scoring honors for Occidental in this meet by winning the 220 and placing second in the hundred yard dash. Reel also ran first lap on the winning relay team. With a week of rest before the San Diego meet, the Tigers were unable to reach again the peak of their form and the Aztecs emerged victorious in a closely contested contest by the score of 68 to 63. This meet was featured by the excellent performances of Coach Pipal's distance stars, Lenington and Tur- ner. Lenington romped home to a hard won victory in the mile while Turner took things easy to gain the third place spot. Turner, in his pet event, set a sizzling pace that was too much for Booth, Aztec champion, and won easily. Vincent Reel again showed plenty of all round ability in this meet. The Tiger star won three first places, the lOO, broad jump, and low hurdles. The season as a whole was not a disappointment because of the win over Pomonag but with only a few breaks Occidental might have defeated Cal-tech and San Diego and captured the championship. Fourteen men won their letters in the course of the season. page eighty-three Gncina 'Wan First row: Paul Manning, Dick Wheatley, Ralph Boynton, Horace Hunt, Howard Sprague.

Combining precision pitching with good baseball, Coach Bill Anderson built a Bengal nine that smashed every conference opponent with ease and dispatch, and at the close of a brilliant season was acclaimed the strongest diamond outfit since the historic days of Bud Teachout and Solly Mish-kin. Team play and ability to come from behind with terrific rallys that broke like the crack'of doom over rival pitchers' heads characterized the Tiger team. Opening the season against the Whittier Poets, heavy favorites to cop the league title, the Bengals, behind the sterling pitching of Captain Hal McMillan, pounded the Quaker pitcher for eight runs and won the ball game, much to the surprise of everyone concerned, including Whittier. Coming back the next week, at Occidental, with fire in their eyes, the Friendly City boys were confident of revenge. But again the flashing fast ball and sharp curves of pitcher lvlclvlillan baffled the Poet sluggers. While the Whittier players were attempting to solve the tantalizing offerings of Captain Bull's right arm, the Tiger hitters pushed across l2 runs. Whittier was forced to be satisfied with 3 tallys. Murmurs of championship possibilities began to pervade the campus con- versation after this show of ability by the Oxy nine, and at Redlands, the next wee-k, Coach Anderson again mentored his squad to a smashing win. Getting away to a slow start the Bengal stickmen brought into focus the delicate curves of the Bulldog chucker in the seventh inning and pounded said curves back into page eighty-eight the outfield with such effectiveness that whenthe frame was over Occidental had scored six runs and had iced the game. Not satisfied to run through the batting order only once in an inning the Tigers continued their batting practice in the next two stanzas and when the scorer finally called a halt the count was Occidental l7, Redlands 5. Bob Ackland was the fair-haired boy of this fiasco, the big infielder smashing out a home run, a triple, a double and a single during the festivities. Turning their ferocious attention on the Cal-Tech Engineers in the next game, the Bengals met with a scare for the first seven innings when the under- estimated Beavers eked out a 3 to l lead and proceeded to hold it. Coming into the eighth frame, the big stickers of Occidental settled down to the business at hand, the Bengals proceeding to combine six hits with a few walks to score 9 runs. Ackland was again the spark that touched off the Tiger dynamite, the Oxy star connecting with four hits in six tries. MclVliIIan pitched his usual steady game, allowing the Beaver batters only 8 hits, while his team-mates were collecting i8 bingles from the generous Tech slabster. Captain Hal McMillan, who thus far in the season had pitched steady and brilliant ball in every game, met with a little hard luck in the next battle when the Pomona willow wafters entered the sacred portals of Patterson field to attempt to stop the championship bound Anderson men. The Sagehen hitters smashed everything that Captain Hal attempted to get by them during the first five innings and counted i2 runs when Coach Anderson decided that Lewis was fresh and ready to send into the' fray. Duffy responded nobly and held the now docile Blue and White Sluggers to two hits for the rest of the game. ln- censed against the way lVlclVlillan had been treated, the Oxy binglemen came to life in the sixth inning and scored 5 runs. Still far behind the confident Sage- hens, the Bengals proceeded to account for 9 more tallys in the next two frames, thereby pulling a ball game out of what seemed unquenchable flames. Returning to Pomona the next week, Captain lvlclVlillan sent his smoke ball across the plate so fast that only the plunk of the horsehide in Rowland's cap- able glove proved that the apple had been thrown at all. Behind pitching such as this the Bengal willow wonders had little trouble in pushing across l3 runs and winning the ball game. Oxy now needed only two more victories to cinch the conference crown, but two of the toughest squads in the league remained on the schedule, La Verne and Redlands. Meeting the Leopards first in a home game it looked as though the inevitable had finally arrivedg for during the first eight innings Occidental could not score a run. However, Lewis, who was throwing the sphereoid for Mc- Millan, kept La Verne hitters content with one marker. With things. looking darker and darker each minute in the eighth stanza, Kallshian sent down a sur- prise bunt with the bases bulging to knot the count and then Bartron smashed a long home run over the left fielder's head to win the game 5 to 2. Starting rather slowly against Redlands, Captain lVlclVlillan settled into his winning stride in the next game and Occidental pounded out a l2 to 5 victory to cinch the conference title. ln the next game at La Verne the Tigers smashed out a lO to 6 win to end the season without a defeat. Hard work and team spirit had done what Occidental had been striving to accomplish for years, win a baseball championship. Ackland, Bartron, Rowland, jakel and Captain McMillan were the mainstays of the team and were chosen all- conference. Ed Hasenyager, not pictured in the following section, was awarded a letter at the conclusion of the season. l I page eighty-nine Gncina The team representing Occidental on the baseball diamond this year included the following men, Seated: Osgood Hardy, chairman of athletic board of control, Hal Mclvlillan, Phil Lewis, Antone Villard, Bob Ackland, Harry Kallshian, Terry Bartron, Frank jakel, Harry Winterburn.

Lusch became professional, Belote dropped out of school, Demarest stayed out of school for a year. The burden of the Tiger rack- eteers fell upon the shoulders of Captain Newton Patchen who was aided by Bob Whitley, Terry Barton, Kenny Dauwalder, Gene Loper, Dick Lund and Frank Hughes. With the exception of Patchen and Whitley none of these men had had any varsity squad competition. The season began with the strong S.C. team, headed by Gene Mako, the best junior player in Southern California. The Tigers lost every match. Patchen played Ma-ko to even the terms in the first set only to lose out in the second. Pasadena junior College, Santa Monica junior College, Compton junior College and Long Beach junior College next furnished practice competition to the Tiger racketeers. The Loyola Lions were submerged two times by the tune eight-one and nine-one. Cal-Tech, headed by Patterson, one of the best players in Southern California, defeated Occidental by the score of five to four. Pomona College racketeers were tied by the score of four and one-half to four and one-half. Arizona University took four matches out of seven. The Tigers were weakened in their contest with the Wildcats of Arizona by the absence of Bob Whitely. The strong Redlands Uni- versity team defeated the Tigers eight to one and won the championship of the league. Because of a car breakdown, the team was forced to make its way to the university campus on foot, thus giving the Redlands team an initial handicap. As La Encina goes to press, the ,match with Whittier remains to be played. Captain Patchen defeated all of his opponents with the exception of Pat- terson of Cal-Tech, winning nine matches out of fourteen. Whitely won five and lost six of his competition matches, while Dauwalder won four and lost four. Bartron won ten and lost four, and Lund, playing fewer matches because of a page ninety-two A late start due to basketball injuries, won four and one-half and lost four and one-half. Hughes won one match and lost two. Next year's squad will be aided by Hamilton, Demarest, Tull, Bosworth, Tweedie, Pearson, Baker and several players who plan to transfer from junior colleges. The tennis squad was under the direction of Coach james Bird, a new instructor from Pasadena University School, which has had an undefeated tennis team the past two years. The newly organized Freshman tennis, team, also under the direction of Coach james Bird, played a regular Southern Conference schedule in addition to numerous strong High School teams. Burbank High School, Eagle Rock High School, and Loyola University Frosh were defeated by the Tiger Babes, while Cal- Tech, Redlands Frosh and Coach Bird's University High team outscored them. The Frosh Squad was comprised of Charles Bosworth, Herbert Tweedie, Bill Kirk, Sam Pearson, Phillip Baker and joe Landon. Of this squad Bosworth and Tweedie should help the varsity next year, according to Coach Bird. Headed by Captain Norm Kettering, Occidental's varsity swimming team began its I934 season with practice matches with U.C.L.A., U.S.C., and L.A.j.C., and Long Beach Poly High School, national inter-scholastic champions. These meets were dropped by a lop-sided score to the visiting teams. However, in return meets with U.C.L.A.' and L.A.j.C. the score sheets showed a decided im- provement for the Tiger natatorsg the Westwood boys getting the edge by thirty- two to twenty-seven, while the Cubs cleaned up forty-four to thirty-one. Occidental's first conference meet with her ancient rival, Pomona, resulted in a landslide victory for the black and gold, the locals amassing forty-one points to the thirty-four digits by Claremont. Following this the team travelled to San Diego where, minus the services of Captain Kettering, the Tiger paddlers were tramped by the Aztecs, fifty to twenty-four. Throughout the season Kettering and Small have been the mainstays, con- sistently breaking conference records, Small proved himself a serious contender in aquatic circles by placing third in the backstroke in the recent Southern Cali- fornia A.A.U. championship held at the Los Angeles Athletic Club. By comparative scores to date, San Diego is favored to win the Conference meet with Oxy second, while Pomona is slated to place third. The local team will be at a great loss next year through the graduation of Kettering, Paulsen, Reynolds, Pupis, and Rives. However, with such frosh coming up to fill in as: Anderson, diving, lvlcKinney, distance, Kinney, breast-strokeg Whitsell, Siler, and Woods in the sprints, the Tiger aggregation should be right in there all the way. ln spite of its Presbyterian background, Occidental seems unable to muster enough true Scots to build a golfing tradition. Established more for experience and fun than for conference play lsince Pomona is the only other conference college with a teaml the Oxy aggregation is fortunate in having for its home course the Annadale Course, which is one of the best in Southern California. Practice matches with various local junior colleges and with Loyola, U.S.C. and U.C.L.A. occupied the spring months, and the Annual Southern California Inter- collegiate Tournament held at the Fox Hills Country Club in April provided compe- tition for individual team members. Greenough was not eliminated until his third match in this meet. This year Ted Brodhead managed the team, composed, dur- ing practice matches, of three upperclassmen, Greenough, Pupis, Brem, a sopho- more, Daggett and two frosh, Hudson and Kirk. In the two conference matches with Pomona, to be played in May after this copy was written, johnny Lewis and Bob Packer were preparing to replace the two freshmen. Dopesters pre- dicted a toss-up chance for Oxy to defeat Pomona in two matches, and thus cap- ture the conference golf championship. page ninety-three Sncina First row: Coach Bird, Manager Dauwalder, Loper, Hughes.

Harriet Reeder, president-elect women's sports Supplying the feminine quota of Occidental's annual display of athletic en- ergy, the W.A.A. conducted during i933-34 a brilliantly successful year of activ- ities, under the executive direction of Helen Creenlaw, president, Mary Bell Bowie, vice-president, and Harriet Reeder, secretary-treasurer, and ably reinforced by the advice and assistance of Misses Hodgdon and Lucas. While the men's ice-hockey team still remained in. its infancy, Women's Field Hockey claimed the local limelight during the first two months of the fall semes- ter. ln spite of the latter's comparatively tame character, as rated by masculine standards, contributing weather conditions--everything from deluges to wind- storms-and a satisfactory allotment of wounded carried off the field after each ferocious encounter made the pay-off schedule an exciting as well as inter- esting series. An appropriate Treasure Hunt and Pirate Party, sponsored by the Sophomores, climaxed the season. On this occasion frolicking members garbed in medieval raiment were observed quaintly ransacking the campus lily-ponds in search of edible loot, and with equalenthusiasm partaking heartily of their rations of bold-and-bad proportions. Recognizing with fitting ceremony the worthy leaders of the band it was revealed that the sophomore aggregation had emerged victorious as hockey champions. Hazel Lines, Barbara Brooks, Eunice Merrill, and Nadine Rainville, as team representatives, received the special hockey awards consisting of the conventional skull and crossbones emblem modified into a representation of a ball and crossed hockey-sticks. Further awards were be- stowed on four all-round senior athletes: Mary Bell Bowie, Helen Greenlaw, Agnes McKinstry, and Nadine Rainville, who received the highest Commendation of the department in the form of O sweaters. page ninety-eight With the termination of its Hockey Season, W.A.A. proceeded with a three months' course of basketball, capably directed by Nadine Rainville. After a pro- longed season of cut-throat competition involving inter-class and inter-house games staged in the riotous seclusion of the Women's Gym on sultry afternoons, the sophomores emerged again victorious, twice champions in the realm of women's sports. Not to be outdone by other local organizations, W.A.A. followed suit by a mid-year election of officers. The new board consisting of Harriet Reeder, presi- dent, Wilmina Vincent, vice-president, and Margaret Day, secretary-treasurer, as- sumed its administrative duties with ease, and maintained the organization's pres- tige throughout the remainder of the year. March l4 marked the event of the annual Basketball Banquet, sponsored by the junior class, at which time some seventy-five odd feminine Casaba Sinkers ias the Occidental would express itl met at the Union, danced sportingly in the patio to strains of Little Grass Shack , and convened later for official pro- ceedings and dinner in the clining hall. Basketball awards, emblems earned by the most outstanding player on each of the four class teams, were presented by the president to Martha Messick, Pearl McAulay, Eunice Merrill, and Nadine Rainville. Lured by the prospects of snow and toboggan slides at Ice House Canyon twenty-five girls arrived at 9:00 A.M., March l7th on the spacious premises of the Women's Gym, equipped with hiking suits and pink Erdman blankets, and prepared to negotiate the long trek through the Baldy regions to Allison's Cabin. There the klan reveled in hi-king, eating, and the display of histrionic ability in spontaneous productions. judging at least from the exalted countenances of the returning expedition, this excursion was a memorable-if snowless-occasion, Smoldering Frosh-Soph rivalry culminated in open combat at the traditional Lower Class Play Day held March Zi, when track events on the Women's Hockey Field, dashes, distance throws, and contests in swimming, tennis, basketball, base- ball, volley-ball, and archery were featured. ln spite of reduced representation the sophomores successfully defeated their opponents by a score of 56-43, and thus won the right to the new perpetual Silver Trophy presented for the occa- sion by the Physical Education Department. As guests of two off-campus Play Days during the year, the W.A.A. enjoyed the hospitality of its neighboring institutions: U.C.L.A., where color teams composed of girls from each school represented were featured in all sports, and where the winners were awarded all-day suckers, and Glendale, where basketball and fruit salad comprised most of the program. Whittier committed the faux pas of holding the third Play Day during Occidental's spring vacation, and robbed it- self altogether of representation from this campus. Since turn about is fair play, W.A.A. acted as hostess to a junior College Play Day on the Occidental Campus, May l2, when delegates from Southern Cali- fornia jaysees within a radius of l'5O miles competed in basketball, baseball speed- ball, swimming, tennis, archery, volleyball, badminton, ping pong, and croquet, and after such strenuous activity adjourned with alacrity to tea in Orr Gardens. Ten members participated from each school, ma-king a total of l8O taking part. A vigorous Splash Party, arranged according to tradition by the Freshman Class, cilmaxed W.A.A. activities of the year. Baseball, Tennis, and Archery tournaments, managed by Grace Freiburg, Agnes McKinstry, and Betty Henry re- spectively, ran simultaneously with the Swimming season arranged by Eunice Mer- rill A colorful water Carnival included exhibition matches and demonstrations representative of the year's sports. Appropriate awards were presented at this time, including the perpetual Cook Tennis Trophy, won by the Sophomore class, and a silver trophy for all-around achievement in sports, which likewise went to this second-year group. page ninety-nine First row: Classey, Kirkpatrick, M.

Two events distinguished the l933-34 program of California Delta chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. ln April, the campus organization was host to the South- ern California Phi Beta Kappa Association for a banquet in the Union. judge Bledsoe, president of the Southern California organization, presided at the meet- ing and Dr. Ballard welcomed the visitors to the Occidental campus. The ad- dress of the evening dealt with the intricacies of credit and currency, and was convincingly delivered by Thorwald Siegfried, noted local attorney. On May lO, the eighth anniversary of the establishment of Delta chapter was celebrated in a special assembly at which keys were presented to the fourteen members of this year's graduating class who were elected to Phi Beta Kappa. At the same serv- ice eight graduates of the class of l9l9 were initiated. They were: Roger C. Cumberland, Harold E. Dryden, Dana H. jones, Dorothy A. Koethen, Donald A. Odell, Aileen P. Ogier, Samuel V. O. Prichard, Sarah A. Young. , The fact that Dranzen is not often mentioned in connection with current campus activities does not mean that this organization is not living up to its motto: Being is Doing. As a matter of fact, both Dranzen and the D.O. Club are functioning quietly in many aspects of Occidental life. Beside their routine task of helping orient new students, these honorary groups provide an invalu- able point of contact between the administration and the student body. The page one hundred six maintenance of the honor spirit, of high scholarship standards, and of general participation in campus life are their particular concern. This year they estab- lished a new tradition: a dinner for new upper-division students at the begin- ning of each semseter. These semi-annual affairs are designed to promote the immediate assumption of upper-class prerogatives by junior college transfers. Book and Candle, the honorary language fraternity, organized last year, con- ducted an interesting series of meetings during i933-34 under the leadership of Paul Hadley. Local experience and talent predominated at these gatherings, when the cultures of various foreign nations were considered. Irish folk litera- ture and musicg a play of Materlinckg Peer Gynt and its familiar musical accom- paniment by Grieg, Spanish art, these were typical subjects for discussion. At one meeting the presence of a guest who belonged to the German Nazi party lent life to the consideration of Hitler's autobiography. Since seven of the ten members were to graduate in june, new members were elected in April and were entertained by a formal initiation dinner and theater party. These initiates, whose pictures are not included in the Book and Candle panel, include the follow- ing: Carroll and Margaret Day, Gerhard Ehmann, Daniel Ciage, Barbara Hend- rick, Stephanie Pollitzer, and Herman Whitmeyer. i Kappa Nu Sigma, local history fraternity, is affiliated with the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. This relationship was responsible for the group's partic- ipation in a conference of similar collegiate organizations at La jolla, the week- end of Occidental's traditional homecoming. Round table discussions dealt with the Orient, War Debts and Reparations, Financial Reconstruction, and Latin America. The last topic was handled by the group chairmanned by Fred Darby. Extra-curricular activities of Occidental's delegation were enlivened by a trip to Tia juana. Mr. Darby, having been sidetracked by interests in San Diego, did not participate in this junket. Three events highlighted this year's program of the Occidental chapter of Sigma Alpha Iota, national women's musical fraternity. ln the fall semester the group sponsored a recital by Miss Leona Hayes, well known harpist, and enter- tained the girls of Eagle Rock junior Music Club at a subsequent reception at the home of Dr. Cleland. A meeting planned by S.A.l. gave music-minded men on the campus a chance to prove their musical ability, During May the Occiden- tal chapter sent several members to participate in a musical in honor of the sen- iors of all chapters of Delta Province, S.A.l., at the home of Madeline Akers. For a society interested in the study of economic problems, l933-34 pro- vided a wealth of subject matter. The discussions at the monthly meetings of Phi Kappa Alpha, local economics fraternity, dealt with various aspects of the Rooseveltian recovery program, with labor legislation, with tariff and money ques- tions. ln the absence of Dr. Coons, former adviser, various members of the eco- nomics department visited the monthly sessions and contributed to the discus- sions. Three junior men besides those pictured in the panel were elected to Phi Kappa Alpha in March: Fred Brem, Harold McMillan, and Harry Kallshian. The Tiger Claws this year managed by good luck and the help of an indig- nant woman with a broom, a police escort, and a sturdy jail to preserve the fam- ous Oxy Tiger pet for future Occidentalites. On the occasion of the Whittier game, the familiar Bengal was whisked by its guardians from the field before the final gung but wary Quakers followed its escorts, and it had hardly been locked in the home of john Lewis when an eager crowd of Whittier students gathered to capture it. Mrs. Lewis guarded the trophy with a broom until the reinforced Tiger Claws returned with a police escort to conduct the famous feline to safe- keeping in the Whittier jail. The next Monday a corps of able Claws returned Oxy's tiger to its Eagle Rock lair, safe for another year. page one hundred seven Gncina U' bell l- B'-'15Cl1 B. Brown M. Calhoun - 1 G.

Crtmnn Phi Kappa Alpha, local economics fraternity, was formed on the Occidental campus in l932.

Club president student clubs A Although the executives of Dial Club steadfastly deny that any world-rock- ing events distinguished their i933-34 program, earnest research discloses that in addition to their regular meetings, the group attended outstanding local theatri- cal presentations on several occasions and that it loaned its secretary, Mary jean Childs, to Press Club when that august organization presented a skit of C-oldilocks and the Three Bears at the program following the. procession of lanterns. Laurean Club, particularly through the co-operation of Dr. Bird, was able to pursue a definite Big Campus program this year. A visit to the private library ot William A. Clark, jr., provided an opportunity to view first editions and rare volumes seldom made available to the publicg the group was particularly inter- ested in a personally dedicated volume of Dickens' Christmas Carol . A second excursion allowed Laureau members to see the paintings of Alson Clark, and to talk with this famous California artist about his work. When La Encina went to press plans were being made for a visit to view the unusual collection of hand- bound books owned by Mrs. Millard of Pasadena. Varronian Club, the organization of the women library assistants, owes its name to a Roman gentleman named Varro who made Latin what it is today lli by serving as julius Caesar's librarian. During i933-34 this group, in addition to regular monthly meetings and teas, sponsored a dinner in the union during the fall semester, at which the men library assistants were guestsg a house party for its membership in Aprilg and a mothers' tea in May. During the Spring semester the school was advised of the group's personnel and purposes through a Women's Chapel program which was addressed by various Varronians. Press Club, in its turn, advanced the cause of literary art on the campus by regular meetings in the home of Dr. Stelter, where the somewhat bohemian at- page one hundred fourteen mosphere of Escarpa Drive helped to temper the exchange of criticism of the various members' efforts. This group also sponsored theater parties at a number of noteworthy plays during the year. The Occidental Players seem to be organized for work as well as recreation. This group was outstanding this year for the many services it performed unosten- tatiously for the college. Besides presenting plays which enlivened the Little The- atre and the C-reek Bowl on various occasions, the Players planned and paid for the remodelling of the Little Theatre, much to the joy of the hitherto forgotten back rows. The repainting of the auditorium and green room, and the reconstruction of the dressing rooms are also to their credit. As the school year neared its conclu- sion, plans were being made for the installation of a new switchboard in the the- atre, to lend technical perfection to next year's dramatic efforts. Contact with the peoples and cultures of the world was fostered this year by the Cosmopolitan Club, one of the largest organizations on the campus, through several meetings at foreign centers in Los Angeles. At a dinner at Schott's German restaurant, in Hollywood, the Cosmopolitans were entertained by Dr. H. von Koerber, who told of his adventures as a llama priest in Tibet. An- other dinner at Avdeev's Russian Restaurant gave members of the group a chance to experiment with caviar and bortsch. A full day's program was planned and presented when the annual conference of the Southern California Federation of Cosmopolitan Clubs met on the campus in March. Round-table discussion of Ra- cial Minorities in Southern California centered about the problems of Mexicans, japanese, and Negroes in this area. Following dinner in the union, at which the delegates were greeted by Dr. Bird, President Edmunds of Pomona College ad- dressed the group. ln the planning of this gathering Hedwig Mader, Bill Bru- baker, Val Kolesoff, and Lovell Van Meter were particularly active, and were advised and assisted on important matters by Dr. Day and Mrs. Pipal. Monthly meetings of the O Club brought varsity lettermen together regu- larly. This group sponsored the All College Weelc-End Dance in April, and an All-College Mixer early in May. As La Encina went to press O Club members were planning a stag beach party in celebration of the year's various sports sea- sons. The cabinet of this organization changed twice during the year. Paul Paul- sen resigned as President in the winter and was succeeded by Ray Gough until Marshall Beebe assumed office in February, after the regular annual election had been held. The local Y.M.C.A., successor to the Men's Christian Fellowship Group, had a' somewhat inactive year so far as campus activities were concerned. Two events of its program, however, were very much worthwhile, the Men's Retreat, held at Switzerland just before the opening of school in September, and the Asilomar Conference during Christmas vacation. The Retreat was superintended by Ed C-ulick, and dealt with the theme Participation , Planned especially for new- comers to Oxy, the two-day conference was remarked by those who had attended former retreats as one of the best in the history of the College. ln December largely through the whole-hearted co-operation of Dr. Odell, acting Dean of Men, a group of nine men were able to visit Asilomar, where they constituted part of an Oxy delegation that was second in size to California's alone, and second in pep to none. The rest of Occidental's representatives at Asilomar were members of the Y.W.C.A., which thus co-operated with the men in the first co-educational winter conference in this area. Asilomar was the most important event in the Y.W.C.A. year but it was far from the only one. Interest groups for the discussion of vari- ous problems met regularly under the leadership of student chairmen, and several chapel programs were presented under the auspices of this organization. page one hundred fifteen Gncina Seated, Kathleen Arnold, Martha Sanborn, Margaret Day, Car- roll Day, Mary jean Childs, Elizabeth Young, Standing: Betty Henry, Mercedes Langlie, Yvonne Gardner, President Dorothy Leibsle, Mary Derthick, Cora Burt, Virginia Blake, Ruth jones, Elizabeth MacNair, Blanche Kirkpatrick.

The Alphas broke up their alliance with the Deltas by moving to the former Zeta house. Striving to be exclusive, the Zetas proceeded to occupy a two-story stucco at Avenue 46 and Paulhan. Those whose memory goes back, and back still further than that, will remember that the Alphas once lived there. A cessation of hostilities was affected by the declaring of truce. The truce is presumably for the benefit of the rushees, but this year, due to several hotly contested enigmas, it was a respite welcomed by all. After the Six trundled the preference diners off to their little beds, they adjourned to their respective houses, thought the matter over, and worried about the Gamma orchids. Saturday the best and worst was known. Change of atmosphere did the Zetas and Alphas good. The latter not only took a new lease on life, but on their house, too. What a sigh of relief they emitted when they learned that the Alpha tradition of a red head a year was not to die. The C-ammas and Deltas had hoped to rest on their laurels, but much biting of fingernails ensued when they discov- ered that two of the season's most eligibles had decided to wait and see which house could give them the better time. Abandoning their cool reserve, the Deltas pitched in, and emerged victorious. Life went smoothly until A.S.O.C. elections, when a Delta broke up to some extent the time honored Beta Phi-S.A.E. combination. lVluch politics were in the air, and when the atmosphere cleared, the Deltas led with two secretaries, later to be augmented by another, and two vice-presidents of classes. The C-ammas, Kappas, and Beta Phis closely followed, while the Zetas and Alphas continued tof groom their pledges with threats of next year. page one hundred twenty-two Hell-week came, and with it packages of gum and peppermints donated by Beta Phi pledges. Gamma fledglings showed no outward sign of stress and strain, and even were allowed to attend the mid-week dance. Several Zeta pledges were glimpsed in a rumble seat. They had on baby bonnets, and were evidently being taken for an airing. The Kappas got giddy, and vegetable adornments of onions increased their charges' popularity. Plans for the big formal dinner seemed to be the chief concern of the Alpha pledges, although some of them got their fill of black candles and Shelley. The Deltas, sensing their grade point average, made one last noble effort, and by giving their pledges white cotton stockings, horn- rimmed spectacles, and brief cases endeavored to impress the faculty with their Phi Bete potentialities. The rally was appreciated but not rewarded, for when sorority grade point averages were made public, the Deltas were discovered in a cellar position, while lo, the name of Kappa led all the rest. This latter fact may have had some connection with the subsequent election of a Kappa to Phi Beta Kappa, an achievement duplicated by the Zeta house alone. During the summer of I933, the status of campus fraternities was altered when the Sigma house completed its plans for national affiliation by receiving a charter from Kappa Sigma, and thus left Psi Delta Chi the only strictly local men's organization. When the fall semester began the alliance between the Phi Clams and the Kappa Sigs was strengthened by the restriction of pledging by these two groups to eight and seven neophites respectively. ln spite of this, George lVlcLane's clan, after the final pledging period in February, had received a total of seventeen new members. The Psi Delts struck up the band under Bob Ballard's leadership to the tune of just one more chance , for they had pledged sixteen. C-. O. Bixler's aggregation came third with fifteen additions, the S.A.E's, under Charles Hirt, considered the impudence of their eight bouncing babes enough trou- ble for the year, and the Fijis, even with the dignity of Honk Reynolds as an asset, found ten pledges a real responsibility. Political activities of the campus provided some interest for the various houses. The Psi Delt motif for class officialdom seemed to be losing favor, as only the senior class retained the traditions of the past in this respect, Kappa Sigs and Fijis seemed to adorn most of the other cabinets. House parties and dances made the social program of the year a calendar affair, but after all, lnterfraternity comes only once a year, and this time, as al- ways, it was the highlight of the spring social season The lnter-Fraternity Council made the plans, Hal Crayson's popular band provided music, the Elks' Temple served as locale, fraternity men dug up the cash, and various residents of Swan Hall, according to rumor, financed their Easter vacations by providing some of the tuxedos. Local trucking companies were disappointed this year when the various houses, with the exception of the A.T.O.'s decided to let well enough alone and stay where last year's juggling operations had placed them. Even Swan Hall re- mained on the campus, instead of moving to l57O Hazelwood. Two Swan resi- dents, however, Herb Tweedie and Franklyn Hudson, pledged Psi Delta Chi too late to have their pictures in the house panel for La Encina. The Occidental accomplished a journalistic feat at the beginning of the spring semester when it compiled unofficial grade point averages for campus or- ganizations, and found that the S.A.E.'s had captured first place for the sixth consecutive semester. Other organizations looked forward tor the capture of fu- ture honors as graduation threatened to rob the Sig Alphs of some of their best scholars. Well, no runs, no hits, but a few errors. page one hundred twenty-three Gmcina Eleanor Tuttle Mary Bell Bowie Betty Blee 1 Betty Sinclair alpha beta phi delta gamma kappa theta delta omicron tau Betty Noble Frances Grotthouse zeta tau zeta ' kappa epsilon chi pan lwellenic council page one hundred twenty-four i , Plecie Elliot Carol Buchner , Grace Freiherg Nadine Rainville A erdman hall president ' vice-president secretary treasurer Barbara Demaree l ' Helen Moody I Dorothea Davis Grace Culling orr. hall president vice-president secretary orr and erdman officers TFQGSUYGI' Mrs. Florence Valentine Miss Dorothy Burgess Mrs, Mary R.

One of the most intriguing incidents of the year had its origin in the sum- mer of 1933 when the rabbits and gophers of Sycamore Canyon were joined at break of dawn on many successive mornings by an athletic individual equipped with pic-k and shovel. The explanation, offered to the student body through one of the year's first issues of the Occidental , was that Dr. Bird was,thus actively attempting to make his dreams for the college come true-his latest dream being the erection of a grill in the Canyon. When the process was completed, it was announced that Dr. Bird had contributed the dream and the excavation, while Dr. Bell of the Board of Trustees had financed labor and materials for the grill itself. A few weeks after the football season started, quarterback Paulsen, in attempting to meet the demands of a newspaper photographer for a striking pic- ture, performed a flying leap over the scrimmage line. Paulsen made eight yards, but got little credit for his achievement when it was discovered that the ball had been left behind in the excitement of the take-off. The resulting photo found its way into newspapers all over the country, however, much to the delight of the Occidental News Service office. During October the A.S.O.C. Executive Committee, finding no new busi- ness to occupy its valuable moments, seized the opportunity to condemn its chairman, Emlyn jones, for absenting himself from his Swan hall domicile on page one hundred forty-six several nights. The Occidental lived up to modern journalistic standards by using the story to swell a Feature Page somewhat short of Oxy-Dents. On December 12, some fifteen men turned out in answer to a plea for hoc-key players. Eight of these had actually acquired hockey experience in the dim and distant past, three others, according to rumor, had never before seen a rink. Although Occidental sports scribes considered the season on ice, final computations found the team below U.S.C., Loyola, and L.A.l.C. in the four- school conference, after a season that was enlivened by several wholesale brawls. Not to be outdone by last year's earthquake, i933-34 presented this region with a fire that illumined the horizon north of Glendale for several days, and then, during the Christmas vacation, a record-breaking rain. Students gathering after New Years' had the opportunity to compete in relating stories of their experiences, the delegation returning from Asilomar was astounded, after read- ing harrowing stories in San Francisco papers about the complete destruction of the city of the Angels, to find campus buildings intact and the student body quite complete. ln February it was clearly demonstrated that Depression could hold no ter- rors for members of Occidental's versatile faculty and administration. The Fac- ulty Frolic, under the able direction of Mrs. Hartley, provided the best opportunity of the year for ticket scalping, as reservations were completely sold out two days before the performance. Dr. Ballard, as manager of the Vaudeville Booking Agency, demonstrated a blase materialism not usually associated with the reli- gion department. The Mikado trio of Messrs. Bell, Pipal and Morrison was, baldly, an operatic triumph. Miss Brady revealed a new personality to astounded students when she appeared as the vampire in a short play. The College had known something of the artistic accomplishments of Dr. Bird, but it was more than a little surprised to witness the crooning accomplishments of his wife, who succeeded in breaking down Dr. Ballard's sales resistance. The climax of the evening occurred, however, when the Floradora Sextette appeared and Mrs. Pipal cast inhibitions to the wind and seated herself upon the knee of Dr. Nivon. The following week more serious artistry was offered to campus citizens when the Carnegie Foundation placed in the music chapel a complete music set, including an electric Capehart Phonograph and a library of hundreds of records, books and musical scores, which were made available most afternoons and eve- nings during the rest of the school year. Campus pocketbooks were swelled during the spring months by the visit of a movie company, shooting graduation scenes for a movie somewhat ironically entitled The World is Ours. Observant reporters were struck by seeing ser- ious-minded figures in cap and gowns reading The Return of the Native be- tween shots. The college building program, treated at such great length in last year's La Encina, went forward this year through the co-operation of another local movie company, which erected part of a Princeton dormitory near the library and the lower half of Nassau hall on the women's hockey field. This invasion of the campus was welcomed by campus males, who were puzzled at the high salary of a feminine star who could not remember one line of five words, astonished at the profligate waste of movie production, but appeased by a meal from Victor Hugo's and overtime pay for working all night. Commercialism signified its final triumph over reticence or romance when, during the month of April, the Oxy players boldly advertised on all student and faculty win-dshields, Marriages are Made in the Greek Theatre, Occidental Col- lege. page one hundred forty-seven Sncina 'f' A Bigger brood What, no soap?
