WHITE, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF THE YEARBOOK OF OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA President Bird at his desk FOREWORD The great metropolitan area of Los Angeles extends from the cam ' pus of Occidental at all points of the compass. In the midst of this teem ' ing urban life, upon a beautiful, spacious campus of one hundred acres, the college faculty and student body reside. The city offers exceptional opportunities for observation, study, understanding, growth; the cam ' pus offers its opportunities for reflection, training, intimate association, direction, and counsel. The student annual, La Encina, this year is dedi ' cated to the interests and recognition of this Big Campus. It is a pow er, especially available for the students of Occidental College and it is used by them. Remsen Du Bois Bird DEDICATION Among the outloo s which are inspired by participation in the life of Occidental College, there is one in particular which its President, Dr. Bird, earnestly see s to arouse in the thinking of its students. This atti ' tude is embodied in the words Big Campus . It implies the recognition by the students of the fact that the interests of the college and the oppor tunities offered its students for enrichment are not confined to the area bounded by Campus Road but extend into various sections. ' Without at ' tempting to pursue a definite theme, the editors, by picturing a number of centers of interest throughout Southern California, have hoped to stimulate this thought among the students, and it is to The Students that the 1936 La Encina is dedicated.

There are, it must be said, significant features of any institution which the subtlest camera technique cannot grasp — intangible assets — tokens of an inter- nal quality, which even the pen, particularly when in student hands, is hard put to make explicit. It is to a definition of these indefinables, the spirit, tone and personality of Occidental College, that this introduction is de- voted. Since its childhood as an academy, Occidental has each year more competently met the require- ments of a Liberal Arts college. Of Western in- stitutions it has been among the first to become aware that a college owes something more to its undergraduates than a crisp scholastic instruc- tion. Today, although the curriculum bears few formal indications of the trend, few students are unconscious of the school ' s educational progres- siveness. A certain charming informality is the first noticeable feature of campus life. There is nothing of the grim bustle and drive of the gar- gantuan educational plants to which Western culture has become addicted. A close-knit social life gives a feeling of unity and common purpose to each of its participants. Something of the cam- pus congeniality has crept into the classroom. The student-professor relationship has long ago evolved from the knuckle-rapping stage to a more benevolent form of paternalism. Student opinion regularly finds voice in chapel symposia. That professor who at eleven o ' clock expounds Kant from Olympus may be seen at twelve in friendly discussion of last week ' s baseball game with the student whom he had but recently chided for a stuttering definition of Transcen- dentalism. Possibly it is the strategic location of the cam- pus, possibly it is a combination of selective en- rollment with tactful administrative guidance, which gives to Occidental College an atmosphere and inherent feeling of social unity distinctive among large and small colleges alike. It is not ex- clusively a year-book boast, at all events, that on this campus there have been combined, with in- creasing effectiveness each year, the two ends of constructive living and intellectual advancement. In the realm of the college administration dur- ing the past year, particular internal forces have been at work which, although sometimes quiet in their movement, have made significant con- tributions to the evolution of Occidental College. Chief among administrative obligations is that of maintaining a faculty of a high and progres- sive cultural tone. What threatened to be a seri- ous gap in the Department of History and Gov- ernment when Professor Thomas R. Adam left on a year ' s leave of absence to join the Guggen- heim Foundation in New York, has been effec- tively filled by Dr. Donald M. Brown, who comes to Occidental fresh from a position as a govern- ment consultant. Professor Harry Kirkpatrick has given new strength to the Department of Mathematics and the coming of Mr. Pari Welch to the Department of Religion has been a decid- ed tonic. Older students will regret the retire- ment of Professor William B. Allison, of the Modern Languages Department and the resigna- tion of Professor Virgil Morse, for years a mem- ber of the Department of Mathematics. Never given to boasting, even through formal bulletins, the Administration may well be for- given a modest inflatus for having contributed to what appears to be an increasingly singular phe- nomenon — the achievement of a balanced college budget. So native to the activities of that body has such an accomplishment become, however, that it may be without trembling considered an administrative policy. As 1936 edged its way into the calendar came the announcement that provision had been made for the erection of the Helen G. Emmons Health Center Memorial, scheduled to reach completion by June and giving to the College a distinction shared by few institutions. Certain lesser campus improvements justify the benevolent smile of the man in the Comptroller ' s office. Particularly gratifying to undergraduates these summer days was the repair of the Library fountain. The fact that frequent administrative excursions through the college grounds may be observed leads one to suspect that the unstudied beauty of the campus is not purely a happy landscape accident. No significant curricular changes have been effected by the Administration during the past scholastic year, although the Curriculum Board has kept a sensitive eye on the fluctuations of contemporary experimental education, to be pre- pared to meet any scholastic demands which changing standards might make on college cur- ricula. The strengthening of the Music and Art Departments, however, has had particularly sat- isfactory results, both in the quality of instruc- tion and in student response. Occidental College has kept substantially abreast of the times in less purely scholastic re- spects, likewise. The advent of scholarship into government has not been without its effect on this campus. The Department of Economics, aside from giving one of its members to govern- ment, has, on more than one occasion, dropped an advisory pearl into needy Washington laps. Dr. Charles F. Lindsley and Miss Elizabeth Gilli- land were Occidental ' s contributions to the West- ern Association of Speech Teachers Convention, held in San Francisco. Dr. Lindsley featured the opening of the convention with a lecture. A Christmas vacation trip took Dr. Osgood Hardy to the American Historical Association Conven- tion, held in Chatanooga. There he survived the Democratic climate and delivered a lecture to the Hispanic section of the convention. A four months ' sojourn in England last summer fur- nished Dean Robert G. Cleland with interesting conversational matter for the remainder of the year. Mysterious research in the Fowler Hall labyrinth more than once attained to outside pub- lication in scientific periodicals, and the English Department occasionally invaded the public press on specialized subjects. A quiet but unusually cooperative student Ex- ecutive Committee guided Occidental undergrad- uate life during the 1935-36 school year. Stu- dent Body President Al Hartley acquired a solid reputation for efficiency and modesty during his year as chairman of the Executive Committee. Vice-President Billie Vincent lent a dark-haired charm to all social conventions and somehow contrived throughout the year to disentangle her identity from that of her twin sister. Martha Messick, although pressed by social obligations, wielded an efficient secretarial pen and appears to have collected the only complete set of min- utes in the executive files. Student government progressed smo othly through the complete year. The Council maintained a cautious conservatism, kept its constituents happy with a full social program, including various Friday mixers, dances, and Tiger Day, and in general lived up well to everything that had been expected of it. Elections for the 1936-37 year brought out the heaviest balloting in college history. Guy Nunn, succeeding Al Hartley as President of the Asso- ciated Students, finds himself surrounded by an Executive Committee of encouraging merit. Alice McDowell successfully aspired to the vice-presi- dency and has already proven herself a social fire- brand in arranging teas, dances, and other femin- ine addictions. Helen Hornberger temporarily forsook her selected male following for a larger constituency to get herself elected to the secre- tarial chair, where she has indulged a fetching and entirely original shorthand. The present Council sponsored a mixer, the revival of the Sabretooth publication, and a successful Tiger Day celebration. Largely dedicated to the aesthetic, the Asso- ciated Women Students occupied themselves with the Procession of Lanterns, May Day, and the benevolence of the Big Sister Plan. Of more interest to males was the feminine sponsoring of the Co-ed Hop, with women allegedly paying the bills and furnishing transportation. It was cov- ertly understood, however, that the women would get it back in later dance invitations. Ruth Bab- 10 cock, after a popular and successful year as Pres- ident, was succeeded by Janet Anderson, an earn- est red-head of surprising modesty. The women report unusual success in the Big Sister plan. The Associated Men Students, proceeding more or less reluctantly to compulsory Wednesday chapels, planned and executed a satisfactory Men ' s High School Day, besides bringing a new constitution into painful birth. Last year found Bill Andrus behind the gavel. Since the consti- tution was largely of his siring, his eloquence in constitutional procedure was singular. Lectures of every description were heard at the meetings. Dr. Arthur Coons, as Dean of Men, hovered over each assembly with ready Socratic advice. Track notoriety and a winning smile carried Jer- ry Isett into the presidency of the men ' s body for the year 1936-37. 11 Dr. Remsen DuBois Bird President ADMINISTRATION Dr. Robert G.

Hartley 29 w BOOK |LTHOUGH the tendency in late years has been to soften the rivalry between classes, an occasional outbreak of traditional enthusiasms can ' not be avoided. Indeed, it is much the better part of dis- cretion to prepare for it. This year an influx of am- bitious Freshmen threatened Sophomore superiority on more than one occasion. Bob Ryf, who rode a combine ticket to the presidency in the Frosh elections, led a group of first-year upstarts to victory over Malcolm MacCluer ' s Sophomores in the annual mud-mired tug-of-war. The Sophomores, it should in fairness be men- tioned, were somewhat handicapped in being forced to struggle over the barely covered coals of a recent rally-fire. Freshmen stoutly maintain, however, that the fire was a divine agent, a sym- bol that the higher powers were on their side. Not infrequent problems of discipline kept the newly established Board of Lower Class Tradi- tions in a constant furore until the opening of the second semester, when the Sophomores adopt- ed a subtle policy of ignoring rather than remon- strating against Freshman recalcitrance. Aside from fretting over the behavior of their inferiors, the Sophomores occupied themselves with a pleas- antly successful dance, which advertised itself un- der the name, Soph Stunts. The stunt , it is guessed, consisted in getting a paying percentage of the student body to patronize the affair, which this year appears to have been successfully ac- complished. Freshmen, while contributing noticeably to the school ' s scholastic element, brought new athletic hope to Occidental, to end an era of comparative depression. Mrs. Smalley, however, refuses to testify as to their dormitory behavior, and the number of snakes hidden beneath mattresses to die and rise again seems not to have decreased since last year. Juniors were traditionally quiet, overshadowed by their Senior elders and outnoised by their un- dergraduate compatriots. By his junior year, the undergraduate seems to have found his extra- curricular niche, which so occupies him that to appear in class carries something of the thrill of adventure. A Junior-Frosh dinner-dance bright- ened the social year, however, with Park Gos- som, Junior secretary, wearing the hostess smile. Bill Burt presided over class meetings with con- siderable dignity, while the element of enthusiasm was adequately furnished by vice-president, Mar- tha Messick. As to the Seniors, Richard Geer gavelled the class into graduation, assisted by Pearl McAuley in the capacity of vice-president, Harriet Tilden as secretary, and Thomas Rothwell as treasurer. Earnest moments at Senior meetings were given to discussions of Senior announcements, and what to get for a class gift. Both decisions resulted in sane and conservative choices. At the annual Junior-Senior dinner-dance, the Seniors were en- tertained at the expense of the Juniors, whose one consolation was that their turn would come next year. Gr aduation is made no less melancholy this year, to those not Seniors, by the realization that many of the campus leaders in every field are be- ing sent into the uncloistered world. The loss, however, regrettable as it is, will probably be in- demnified by a promising group of individuals in the Junior class. After a year of vigorous existence under Presi- dent Bill Henry, the Alumni Association elected Bruce Kirkpatrick to its presidency. The Kirk- 31 patrick lineage at Occidental College is an an- social gatherings in the Women ' s Lounge. Serv- cient one. Once a rampant varsity fullback, ing as a significant link between graduates and Bruce Kirkpa trick now heads an organization undergraduates is The Alumnus, published quar ' which each year makes its existence more strong- terly by the Alumni Association and keeping an ly felt. Alumni activities for the present year interesting past bound closely with current cam- featured a series of evening lectures, followed by pus activities. 32 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Pearl McAulay Vice-President Thomas Rothwell Treasurer 33 GRADUATES V.

The student news- paper demonstrated a strong but not completely consist- ent tendency to grow into an eight-column sheet; music organizations combed the State with their pro- grams; dramatics showed surprising vigor under stu- dent management; and forensics undertook an unusually formidable schedule of argumentative logic. On the whole, the activities displayed an energy and enterprise more than gratifying to their sponsors. Among the Publications, the Occidental is per- haps most in the public eye. Liberalist Manning edited a sheet which, while varying in quality from week to week, showed a marked upward tilt in quality. The Fine Arts found a long-post- poned place in the organ and soon, under the promising hand of Jack Webb, dominated the feature page. News was more than usually chat- ty in the Manning regime, with the gossip col- umns featuring most editions. The business of key-hole peeping was raised to a fine art by col- umnist Bob Barrett. Whatever spiritual eleva- tion the paper required was furnished by the two weekly editorials, while mental stimulus came from the editor ' s column, which made national affairs its business and which had a tinge, now of the Tale Review, now of the ' Hew Republic, now of The Masses. Editor Manning was par- ticularly inspiring in his frequent controversies with William Randolph Hearstisms. Succeeding Manning, the Spring semester, came Bill Burt, an A.T.O. sports editor, aspiring to the higher things. Drawing about himself a multitude of ambitious reporters, Burt inaugur- ated a back to fundamentals journalistic policy. Front page make-up took on a reliable, orthodox appearance. The tone of the editorials, while no less stern than those of the Manning era, dropped from the higher morality to things of more prac- tical application. The editor ' s column, which seems resolutely set on becoming a tradition, lost its flair for national squabbles and acquired a homey, intimate, philosophical aspect. Student opinion found sudden and violent voice under the Burt editorship, sentiment getting into print on every subject from aesthetics to temperamental tennis players. Student poetry bore up reason- ably well under public scrutiny and became a regular feature. The Hamilton sonnet was a sub- ject for weekly debate among English Majors. A short-story contest struggled to a conclusion, with the winner as yet unannounced, while the social chatter columns continued to occupy important page four positions. Possibly the most encouraging feature of the campus journalism is the sudden rebirth of inter- est in writing, brought on by the invasion of pert freshman intellects. The Occidental, for the most part under student control, is for better or for worse, a reflection of student thought. The pos- sibilities for its development in the future are bright. Second only to the Occidental among student publications, La Encina is dedicated to the pur- pose of arresting and preserving, in as life-like a manner as possible, the student activities of a year. Its publication, people somewhat surprised- ly discover, is the outcome of a considerable amount of brain-wracking work. The gentleman heir to the perspiration of publishing the present year-book is Kenneth White, an English major with musical aspirations, who displays a nice tal- 47 ent for organization and a knack for cajoling co- operative hard work from his assistants. He has forsaken music temporarily and stilled a lyric ten- or voice in deference to editorial responsibilities. The faces of those allied in the pleasant drudg- ery are to be found elsewhere in this book. Of these only a few are plucked out for particular mention. The whole sturdy crowd deserves it. Dorothea Davis knit brows under the responsibil- ity of an associate editorship; Paul Manning re- vived his journalist ic urge as sports editor; Peggy Houghton, Jane Frampton, Betty Merchant and Patsy Henry frowned and laughed over their joint layout editorship; Paul Pauley bustled ener- getically over the snapshot editorship; Guy Nunn spent long hours pondering over the text for the book, and Phyllis Armstrong collaborated with Don Spencer in the society editorship. The little pamphlet-like affair presented to you at the beginning of each year and lost the mo- ment it becomes familiar enough to be of any value is the Student Handbook, edited for the past year by Dorothea Davis. The Handbook is a combination campus Baedekker and Encyclo- pedia, carefully explaining who is who and con- taining encouraging bits of advice or welcome from campus personages to freshmen. A some- what similar publication, of particular utility to the socially ambitious, is the Campus Directory, edited this year by Willard Williams. The Di- rectory contains the name, address and, yes, even phone number of anyone on campus who pos- sesses these assets. In this mention, the publicity battalion must not be overlooked. On battered type-writers, an earnest group of publicity hounds sent out to eager metropolitan newspa- pers the more momentous occurrences in campus life. One of the few items coming to Occidental from Claremont which has been received with any joy is the person of Mr. Howard Swan, di- rector of both the Men ' s and the Women ' s Glee clubs. In a brief two years, Mr. Swan has con- verted these groups into formidable musical or- ganizations. The Men ' s Glee Club sang before every church within a radius of fifty miles, thrilled a good half of the Rotary Clubs in the city, and chanted its way through central Cali- fornia to San Francisco, at which point the trip took on certain unscheduled informalities. Re- turning in fine voice, the men produced a thu n- derous Home Concert, unequalled, it is claimed, in college history. Dave Barnett nonchalantly carried the duties of being a baritone and club President. A bundle of enthusiasm, Francis White was fiendish in his energy as manager. The Southern Conference Glee Club Contest found the local choristers a disconsolate third. Vows were unanimous to carry the cup home next year. The Men ' s Quartette, lusty and laughing, kept themselves constantly in demand. The Women ' s Glee Club, likewise displaying the capable Swan touch, took charm and an ac- complished technique to every performance it made. A bus invasion of San Diego gave the gos- sip columns material for several weeks of whis- pering and numerous local appearances kept the women occupied in things not purely scholastic. Prettily corsaged in a high pitch of excitement, they presented a typically good Home Concert, to which a good half of the neighborhood was lured. Cora Burt, who last year captivated the Greek Bowl in Martha, gave ability and a fine soprano voice to the Club in her capacity as President. Edith Graybill, Zeta ' s contribution to the fine arts, worried over the club managership. A feature of practically every school program, the Oxydettes offered three figures, faces and, if you insist, voices of decided attractiveness to gaping audiences. Largely a student-fostered enterprise, drama on the Occidental campus has put up a tenacious struggle against slender finances. The Occidental Players, captained by Charles Hall, relieved the year ' s high seriousness with their presentation of Booth Tarkington ' s Clarence, a light comedy drawing an almost unavoidable capacity house. February witnessed a turn to terror, when The Cat and the Canary mystified as many students as could wedge themselves inside the playhouse. June Hosmer, Bernard Melekian and James Ham- ilton merit special commendation for their per- formances in the thriller. Jeppe of the Hills found Charles Hall adroit in another lead as Erasmus Berg, something of a philosopher and Latin logician. Badly in need of funds and a larger theatre, Occidental Dramatics owes its preservation to this point purely to the tenacity of its student participants and the encouragement of adviser Kurt Baer. The shades of Cicero and Demosthenes smiled benignly over Eagle Rock this year as the foren- sics and oratorical representatives of Occidental talked themselves into a monotonous series of 48 championship cups. The Southern California Conference Extempore contest was carried by re- freshingly fluent Woodruff Deem; Leonard Jones managed to capture the Conference men ' s orator- ical championship with an impassioned burst of rhetoric; and Joanne Joos equalled this achieve- ment in the women ' s division. Miss Joos was aided no end by a statuesque bearing, an amaz- ingly blonde coiffure an d a husky, vibrant set of vocal chords. Pi Kappa Delta ' s regional confer- ence contest, involving 40 schools, again found the irrepressible Jones a victor in the Men ' s ora- tory. Rodna Hildebrand extemporized herself into a strong second place in the Women ' s con- test. The debating team perspired through a strenuous season, jewelled with the Le Moyne, Loyola, and U.S.C. controversies. Diligent in the name of persuasion were Messrs. Deem, Haupt, Hinshaw, and Jones. Floy Hendricks and Rodna Hildebrand contributed the feminine fluency. Several events other than those covered are on schedule for the word-of-mouth artists. Occidental entered excellent candidates in the Southern Conference Dramatic Reading Contest in the persons of Aram Rejebian and Mary Bar- rett. The results of this and other events, unfor- tunately, cannot be included in the present year- book. The Speech Arts, in every competitive in- stance, have found Occidental high among the colleges of this region. Coaches Charles Fre d- erick Lindsley, Miss Gilliland of the faculty and assistant Bernard Melekian may be forgiven a mild glow of satisfaction over the year ' s achievements. While Occidental ' s activities have run rampant and far-flung ways within the foregoing sections, additional printing room concessions have made it possible to include in the present review sev- eral items that formerly managed to escape men- tion. The speech arts, for example, continued their laurel-clutching devastations of Southern California competition with Aram Rejebian cap- turing the masculine Dramatic Interpretation crown while Mary Barrett took a close second among the women. Nor did the Men ' s Glee Club receive their just mention for successfully invok- ing the musical muse with an applauded Home Concert and a series of off-campus appearances that helped to balance a tilting budget, while their feminine counterpart, the Women ' s Glee Club, found themselves in no less demand as the season waned. Seeing signs of spring and a definite attitude of non-scholasticism, La Encina sponsored a snapshot contest that threw droves of amateur hold-that-pose artists loose upon an unsuspecting campus. The choicest gleanings of this candid camera raid are to be discovered on diverse pages of this book. As chief patron of the literary arts on campus (college annuals excluded) Dr. Benjamin F. Stel- ter, Professor of English, can point with chest- expanding pride to an almost unbroken series of Occidental first places in the yearly Phi Beta Kappa Essay Contest. Nor need he regret this year, with Guy Nunn having scribbled himself to primary honors while Carroll Day forged into third place. The Occidental brought its editorial season to a close with revived publicity and eulogies up- on the Honor Court, undoubtedly the tenderest and most sacred single aspect of student self-gov- ernment. And while this particular publication escaped joining the Veterans of Future Foreign Wars, it did for a time indulge in torrid contro- versy over the desirability of having college men enter the United States Marine Officers ' Reserve. After a semester of pleas, polishings and the English department ' s approval, it seemed as though the now literally prehistoric Sabretooth, that publication which in years long past was once the college ' s single institution for the benefit of literary talent and original authorship, was to find glorious reincarnation. But after ar- dent manuscript collecting under the auspices of the Press Club, it was discovered that, while Oc- cidental boasted of innumerable embryo poets, hardly a prose writer was to be found. So the Sabretooth sank back into its dusty sarcopha- gus to await next fall and a few more unmetered lines. To return again to music, Tuesday nights this year found a hundred odd students turning out for Choir practice under the leadership of How- ard Swan. Definitely a progressive move toward advancement in the finer arts, and a new devel- opment on the Occidental Campus, this group had as its motive the production of deep and al- truistic harmony in the form of two public per- formances. At the end of the fall semester, the Mass of St. Cecilia was presented, and with the closing days of school, Haydn ' s The Crea- tion was interpreted. Impressive with a depth 49 of emotional purging and a spectacle beyond the seeking extra-curricular activities of a cultural scope of either glee club singly, it achieved dc nature.

Deem 67 BOOK IV VER the course of the past few years a determined ef ' fort by Occidental College to integrate intramural and intercollegiate sports has stamped the Bengal institu- tion as one of the more pro- gressive on the Pacific Coast. By working on the assumption that it is better to have a majority of the students participating in athletics than a mere handful, inter-organization teams have been formed, interest of the majority in athletics has developed, and a sense of playing sports for the recreation has grown up on all sides. Intercollegiate athletics have been benefited as a result of such a program for today varsity con- tests are well-attended by students having a new sense of appreciation and interest for the trials of a competitive athlete. As a continuance of this greater student par- ticipation theory, control of Occidental athletics has been centered in the hands of a combination student-faculty administrati ve board. Working under the name of Athletic Council this group, composed of Bill Anderson, Al Hartley, Ted Brodhead and Phil Gemmell, ably handled the athletic problems that arose, as well as being the supreme tribunal on the subject of team awards. The question of eligibility and the stating of Oc- cidental ' s attitude on pertinent questions when Southern California Collegiate Conference schools gathered in their periodical sessions rested under the chairmanship of Dr. Osgood Hardy. The duty or job of sentiment acceleration was handled jointly by Bengal Board members and the yell kings. Under the throbbing effervescence of Bill MacDougall, Bengal Board chairman and dynamo of the basketball court, the herculean task of pumping each Friday a vitalizing power into apathetic student groups was undertaken. Holding pep rallies weekly, tri-weekly, semi- weekly, day or night (depending upon the stress and strain of a pending athletic contest), result- ed in a spirited attendance at most games. Upon becoming a member of the frenzied Saturday throng students were placed in the enthusiastic but demoniacal hands of yell kings Kenneth Cary and Vernon Baker. Periodically rousing them- selves from a mesmerized lethargy, the pep boys Cary and Baker would swing into a series of pretzelian, pin-wheel-like gyrations often pro- ductive of a Hold That Line cry, after which the confines of a splintered bench would once again become their sanctuary. Other valuable cogs in the campus athletic ma- chine were the student team managers. This most necessary group operated under a system of com- petition which was quite productive of efficiency plus. For each sport there was a Senior Man- ager who received a letter award and salary, there were two Junior Managers from which the Senior was chosen, four Sophomore Managers, and as many Freshmen assistants as could be rounded up. The chief function of the whole staff was not only to check out and watch equip- ment, but to see that hotel accommodations were nicely synchronized when a team went traveling. Under the banner of O club were gathered the many muscled behemoths of athletic fame — individuals who, during the course of their aca- demic career, managed to garner at least one var- sity letter. Such an award thus made them eligi- ble for initiation into this charmed circle of bi- ceped pachyderms presided over by President Jack Sheridan. The coaching staff this year witnessed some- 69 what of a reorganization that proved quite satis ' factory. Roy Dennis, former Oxy football and baseball flash, became frosh coach in every sport except freshman track and mentor of varsity ten- nis and swimming. This move enabled Joe Pipal to drop his frosh football duties and concentrate on the development of track men for a most strenuous season. The results speak for them ' selves. Joe Pipal gave the school two champion- ship teams, varsity and frosh track, and a relay team good enough to make a trip to the Drake Relays. Roy Dennis made good with a bang by placing in action teams with fight and color, and drilled in the fundamentals. Bill Anderson, var- sity football, basketball and baseball coach, had for new assistants during football season Ed Beebe, line, and George Laas, backfield, of George Washington University. Al Arps was appointed fencing coach. The general staff for the year completed then: Carl Trieb, professor of physi- cal education; Bill Anderson, varsity football, basketball and baseball; Joseph A. Pipal, cross- country and track; Roy Dennis, varsity tennis and freshman sports; Al Arps, fencing; Caroline Hodgdon and Florence Sturdevant, Women ' s Athletics. For every group of lettermen there exists the cream of the crop, the upper crust. Recognition of this fact has resulted in certain special awards being placed in competition by interested alumni to be vied for by this athletic aristocracy. The custom was established several years ago when Fredrick Schauer gave to the school the Schauer perpetual trophy. And so each May on Patter- son field during spring football practice the grid- iron ball players enter a type of competition for this award based primarily upon kicking and passing ability. Just a few years before Schauer competition was begun, Cliff Argue, as an added inducement for championship performance dur- ing the traditional Pomona track meet, placed his iron man trophy in Joe PipaFs hands to be won by the man amassing the greatest number of points in this particular meet. In 1936 the win- ner was Claude Kilday. More recently, and for the freshmen, two cups have been donated as an ability and effort stimulator. One for the out- standing freshman athlete during the year, the other for the most valuable football player. Glenn Groves, ' 39, registered the unusual feat of gaining both trophies. Tracing its origin from a gleam in Frank Boy- er ' s eye up through the embryonic stage to its present point of semi-maturity, the school band, a familiar and appreciated adjunct to all rallies and games, has grown with remarkable rapidity. An excellent idea well executed, its proficiency has increased each season until now we predict a most roseate future for its existence. Starting the year ' s sports program with high hopes, a fairly experienced team, and an abund- ance of tricky razzle dazzle plays, Bill Anderson ' s fall grid aggregation showed promise of bringing to Occidental the first football championship in several years. In the season ' s opener against the University of Mexico, America ' s first internation- al football contest of the year, Oxy swept over, around and through the Mexico City eleven with a shuffled assortment of runs, bucks and trick passes. Although winning 26-7 the team looked rather heavy and unprecise at times but due, of course, to the earliness of the contest (Septem- ber 21). Still working on the theory that the better brand of football was speed, deception, and passing plus, Anderson drilled his fat-encom- passed warriors in weight reducing tactics until suddenly speed began to stamp their daily scrim- mages. After a week of tough practice the team, via the Santa Fe system, travelled to Flagstaff where they played Arizona State to a standstill. Although showing considerable improvement by being able to outgain 264 to 165 yards, the Tiger squad lacked goal-line punch. Final score: 0-0. Travelling to the border city for their next game and first conference fracas Oxy agreeably sur- prised most everyone by outplaying and out-scor- ing San Diego. Entering the game on the short end of the betting odds the local eleven proceed- ed to rip through their heavier opponents. The remarkable part about this game was the in- creased use of the lateral pass by Anderson ' s men and the fact that we scored but seven points de- spite a decided superiority. Score, 7-0. The next tilt was the annual little big-game against the Cal-Tech Beavers in the Rose Bowl. Playing to erase last year ' s unexpected defeat, Occidental early in the game demonstrated that the night of October 18 was theirs. Starting with a bang Aram Rejebian intercepted a pass for the first score. Then, with Nichols, Sheridan, Cosby and later Punaro, all swinging into action Caltech was shoved at will around the dew-heavy green- sward of the Rose Bowl. Passes of every descrip- tion invariably found an Oxy man on the receiv- 70 ing end. The line worked well, everything clicked. The end of the fourth quarter found the Beavers plodding to their dressing quarters the losers, 0-19. Undefeated in the last four games Oxy entered the Redlands fray with the realiza- tion that any possible championship might be de- cided on the day ' s final score. Redlands was strong, tricky and pass crazy — which assured everyone a pulse-tingling game. Gaining pos- session of the ball Redlands staged a sudden drive down the field to score in the first three minutes when Johnson carried the ball over on a fourth down buck. The extra point conversion was good. But immediately upon receiving the ball the tiger squad took command and started slashing off the yardage. In the second quarter they were successful in tying the score through a brilliantly executed pass followed by a short buck. The last half was a stalemate with neither side tallying although Occidental had many near opportunities. The game thus ended 7-7. The outlook for the team still remained bright until the following Saturday when a strong Santa Bar- bara team upset the Occidental applecart by ad- ministering a 6-0 defeat. The game was rather dull and the Bengal eleven seemed to have defin- itely passed their sparkling mid-season peak. Armistice Day is to be long remembered by mem- bers of this year ' s team. Trotting onto the Whit- tier field the locals had hopes of turning in a most respectable performance. The result was a 52-0 debacle in favor of the Quaker Poets. Whit- tier was not 52 points better but they got roll- ing early in the game while Oxy, except for a few spasmodic twitches, remained lifeless. If this game had been played a few weeks earlier the score would have undoubtedly been more favor- able to our team. Applying the finishing touches to an unsuccessful last half season, Pomona trounced the once fast-stepping Bengals 20-0. Al- though Oxy was considerably improved over their last public appearance, the Sagehens on this day were able to out drive our football-weary squad for a victory in this, the oldest traditional foot- ball contest on the Pacific Coast. The 1935 frosh football squad turned in a sea- sons performance that was one of the best in years. Winning their games four to one is an excellent record. Especially in view of the fact that the opposition was good. Opening their sea- son against Cal-Tech they downed this team 31- 0. The next victory was a 26-6 affair over Pasa- dena J.C. Travelling to Taft they shellacked the oildrillers 30-12. The Pomona game was the headache of the season, a 7-19 defeat. But they wound up their season 7-0 over the Pasadena Spartans. Bill Anderson should receive several men with much ability from this group next Sep- tember. Rolling up to the January 10th Basketball starting post on a series of practice games which started the first week in December, Bill Ander- son ' s casaba experts showed much promise but, as of yore, injuries, ineligibility and sickness con- trived to shatter any championship dreams which the Bengals might have formed. Against Red- lands University, the first of thirteen tough round robin tilts Occidental was barely nosed from the win column in a 44-48 battle. In the lead three minutes before the final gun, Craw- ford, of Redlands made two baskets enabling the visitors to pull into a final lead. Gathering mo- mentum for the next encounters Oxy quickly and with dispatch downed Cal-Tech and Pomona, 51- 48 and 44-37 respectively. A return match with Cal-Tech later in the season again found Oxy winning 38-32. Travelling to Santa Barbara for t he next game the eccentric tigers lost and won the Friday-Saturday tilts to the Gauchos. Dyna- mic and exciting from beginning to end, the win- ner of each encounter emerged victorious by the narrow margin of one point. Santa Barbara won the first game 44-43 and Occidental the second 33-32. Continuing the narrow margin of vic- tory practice, Pomona was only defeated in the final seconds of play 51-50. This game had every spectator standing on his seat the last ten min- utes. Playing Chapman College in a practice game, the visitors won handily 64-42. The next week, driving to La Verne, Oxy split a two game series. Capturing the opener 47-40 Friday even- ing by outspeeding the Leopards, our tigers sud- denly shifted and lost the next game 38-42 in a close match spotty with fouls and eccentric floor- work. The following encounter was a one-night stand with Redlands in Alumni gymnasium. The Bulldogs pulled to a 41-36 victory when our team faded after a good first half. Playing the part of a good host the next week-end, Oxy graciously lost to Whittier on Friday night 45-35 but the Poets wouldn ' t reciprocate Saturday evening and again chalked up a second win 45-35. Both games were characterized by smooth floorwork on the part of Whittier. Drawing to a close a long ar- 71 duous schedule the Bengal quintette treked to San Diego in the final two-game windup. The squad, weakened by sickness, put up a poor ex- hibition of basketball to lose the first encounter 48-31. However, the second game was a differ- ent story with Herschel Lyons and Bob Packer racing the local squad through a fast four quar- ters only to be finally nosed out 40-36. The sea- son thus ended with Redlands on top of the con- ference heap and Occidental landing just one rung above Santa Barbara — winners of cellar po- sition. The frosh basketball team experienced a bet- ter than fair season by winning six tough games and dropping but three. The squad was rangy, fairly experienced and in their nine games aver- aged 38 points to the 29 point average of their opponents. Some very good material for the var- sity is in this outfit. Once again re-establishing their supremacy in track, Joe Pipal ' s cinder squad not only waltzed home with the Southern California Conference championship but sent two crack relay teams composed of Kilday, Isett, Johnson, Langsdorf, Ehmann, and Rogers to the Drake relays in Iowa where they succeeded in placing first in the four man 880 and second in the four man mile. Start- ing their track season officially, and properly, by barely annexing the open title in the February 27th Southern California Conference relay car- nival 22J 2 to San Diego ' s 21J 2 points, Occiden- tal swung into a most successful schedule. En- tering the Long Beach relays after the annual practice handicap U.S.C. meet, Oxy placed many men in several events, in fact, beat Stanford and placed second to U.S.C. in the four man 440, but gathered not a first place. However, the next week meeting Cal Tech on our own oval we swamped the engineers 89-42 and demonstrated that the Bengals would be strong contenders for the conference crown. The individual star, as in later meets, was Claude Kilday, who scored 27 points — but the winning could be called a team victory for every man came through. For the next scheduled grind, Oxy traveled to Red- lands where they promptly downed the Bulldogs 89% to 46J4- In this meet Isett led the vaunted Truman Case to the tape in the 100. Kilday, Ehmann, Rogers, Hall, Wheatley, all came through with good performances in spite of a biting wind which kept the times down around the slow mark. Whittier competed unofficially in this affair as a workout in preparation for the Santa Barbara, Whittier, Occidental triangular meet which followed the next Saturday. During the course of the succeeding triangu- lar meet, Occidental again demonstrated its conference superiority by sending the two visit- ing teams home on the small end of the score. Specifically, the Poets took the short end of a 86J4 to 44J4 tally, and the Gauchos succumbed 81-50. Don Hall ambled through a 10:12.1 two mile, Kilday captured a 50 second 440 besides firsts in the shot and javelin, Isett took the 100 and 220 yard dashes, to list a few of the out- standing wins. In the next to the last meet of the season and by far the most difficult of the year, Occidental upset San Diego, defending con- ference champions, to virtually cinch the dual meet track crown. Kilday and Isett contributed 29 points as their part of the team total. One of the deciding factors in the Aztecs defeat was Dick Johnson, running his first flight of high hurdles this year, sliding into second place. An event that San Diego had figured to sweep. The standout impression of the day was that of every competitor coming through to the best of his abil- ity. Concluding the year ' s dual meet schedule Pomona was severely thumped when the tiger squad scored clean sweeps in both dashes, the two mile run and pole vault to roll up a point total of 94 to 37. As a reward and feeling that the results might surprise, a contingent of six track men and Coach Pipal left the campus Mon- day evening, April 20th, for Iowa and the Drake relays. One week later this group returned with gold medals and much glory, obtained from win- ning the college division four man 880 and plac- ing second in the four man mile. The only un- satisfactory point to be observed in this respect by the writer is that the four man 880 team of Kilday, Johnson, Langsdorf and Isett were un- able to also compete in some of the eastern relay carnivals. At the time of the writeup only one event remains on the year ' s track program, — the Southern Conference free-for-all cinder battle in which the conference individual champions are decided. Teams ' scores are registered, of course, but again it should be a battle between Oxy and San Diego with the winning team scoring no more than four points over the runner-up. Holding dual meets with conference frosh teams and surrounding high school squads, the first year team performed adequately. In the 72 Feburary 27th Southern Conference Relays on Patterson field a team of Peters, Cullen, Koppel, and Nunn took the frosh four man 880 title. The yearlings ' strongest events throughout the sea- son appeared to be the shot, high jump, discus, pole value, high hurdles, quarter and mile. Paul Sampsell, Paul Greenlee, Don Peters, Sidney Koppel, Harry Hough and Al Walz were among the frosh track standouts. In attempting to live up to the championship record established the preceding two years, Bill Anderson ' s 1936 baseball team, although seri ' ously weakened by the graduation of seven ex- perts and failing to finish on top in the confer- ence race, was able to make every game a tough one for the opposition. Starting their season with a roar by defeating their first three opponents, seemed to indicate a good season ahead. Plenty of snap was the team ' s main forte, but they lacked the machine-like precision of last year ' s squad and a good staff of pitchers backing up Herschel Lyons. In the Redlands conference opener Lyons checked the Bulldogs by striking out 18 opposition batters — his teammates giving adequate support by pounding out a 9-0 win. The following week-end saw the Sagehen and Poets bow to the Occidental ball club 5-1 and 11-2. Travelling to San Diego, March 28, Oxy received a 14-3 trimming from the border city team. The fine hurling of Lyons was offset by 13 team errors as contrasted to 4 Aztec errors. That in a nutshell was the story of the game. Again the Bengals took a drubbing, this time from Cal Tech to the tune of 6-3. Dorwat of the Beavers was one big reason for Occidental ' s up- set plus the fact that the locals played rather pas- sive ball. Invading Patterson Field, Santa Bar- bara, possibly the strongest team in the circuit, trounced the tigers 15-3. Minus the full game services of Lyons, Oxy was at a loss for satisfac- tory hurling in this fray. Dropping its next to Pomona 10-8, Oxy had little to look forward to during the coming Whittier game. But meeting Whittier in a return engagement in their field, the Bengals suddenly developed a clouting bri- gade which astonished by driving home 24 runs. A most unusual game with 37 runs registered and the final tally being 24-13. Playing Redlands in the second of a two game series, the Bulldogs were again downed largely through the applica- tion of a little new strategy. Shifting Cosby to Pitcher the revamped catcher proceeded to stand the visiting nine on their ears. And with a rejuv- enated batting brigade pounding out the best hits, with a homer by Sheridan, the game ended 5-0 in favor of the locals. So with but three games remaining as this yearbook goes to press, one of them, a conference match with Santa Bar- bara, Occidental finished the season to date in re- spectable style, winning four conference games and losing but two. The freshmen baseball aggregation enjoyed a better than usual season due primarily to the large turnout and the coaching technique of Roy Dennis. With thirty-two yearlings showing up for the first practice session of the year, prospects looked favorable. However, as only a very few of the men were really experienced, the ball club could not be stamped as other than green. But from scratch the frosh nine developed itself into a scrappy, colorful group. As in football season, the team played conference first year groups and the many surrounding high school and junior college teams. In its third year, Ice Hockey, one of the more spectacular of the minor sports, established a most enviable reputation for rough and readiness as it presumably tried to leap into national promi- nence by making a determined assault upon the winless wonder record made by Knox College in the sister sport, football. However, by only losing 26 contests, our boys fell two games short of breaking Knox ' s record. Seriously though, against some high class competition, Oc- cidental ' s puck squad performed in stellar fash- ion. Meeting U.S.C., Loyola, U.C.L.A. and in short the principal universities of the southland, Oxy, after a slow start, continued to improve un- til they were giving U.C.L.A. and the others quite a run for their money. It is our humble opinion that in Ice Hockey Occidental will some day in the near future be playing the cross-town insti- tutions off the ice. Captained by Dave Wood- bury and coached by Fischel, the squad had a world of intestinal fortitude, was willing to mix it, and displayed much ability. Defending their seventh Southern California Conference championship the varsity swim team, under the coaching this year of Roy Dennis, had high hopes of once again turning back all oppo- sition in the coming conference meet. The team captained by Dick Geer, bolstered with the excep- tional swimming ability of Russell Bay, and the diving excellence of Bailey Abbott, was able to 73 give an interesting series of swimming perform- ances throughout its schedule. The highlight of the team ' s season and a leadup to the confer- ence affair was the U.S.C. handicap meet. The outcome, after some flashy splashing, was Oxy on the long end of the winning score. Tennis this year encountered one of its most disastrous seasons. But in spite of numerous re- verses the team consistently improved from game to game. As Arthur Brisbane, W. R. Hearst ' s newspaper stooge, would say, that ' s progress. Stewart Knight, Charles Bosworth, Herb Twee- die, Jim Hamilton, Sam Pearson, Bill McClin- tock, John Kinnard, and Bill Hcideman all gained valuable experience this year. And with some of these men as the nucleus around which to build another team, next year ' s outfit, enforced with some of the present freshmen flashes, should be one of the best in the conference. The Golf team enjoyed quite a fair amount of success this year and defeated their big game opponents, Pomona College, 18-12. Starting their season with a series of practice matches against U.S.C. and U.C.L.A., Occidental swung into a conference grind by matching strokes with San Diego, Cal Tech and Santa Barbara. As men- tioned, the big game for the mashie wielders was Pomona and in a torrid, nerve-straining match over the Oakmont Country Club course the Sage- hens were downed 18-12 by the following respec- tive scores: Warren Fellingham, 6-0; Frank Har- dison, 5-1; Bob Hammeras, 5-1; Bob Lindsay, 4-2; and Sam Pearson, 0-6. Interest in Golf fluc- tuates like a bull market but the past year or two the flow has been decidedly upward. Working on the theory that athletic contests between the many men ' s campus organizations can be most valuable in the development of a greater individual participation, the Physical Education Department of the college has fos- tered a strong intramural sports program which each year has found a greater campus support. With trophies offered to the winning team in basketball, swimming, track, handball, and soft- ball, the competition has been most keen. For some reason, probably a new brand of hard tack being served at the KaySee house, the Kappa Sig- ma stalwarts have to date this year managed to grab the lion ' s share of the intramural honors. Winning the basketball and swimming champion- ship, although edged from track honors by the newly organized Omega Phi Epsilon group, they remain in the lead for year honors. At the present time handball and soft-ball are the two remain- ing activities to be completed on this sports pro- gram. And judging from interest along the fra- ternity front in the soft-ball playoffs coming up shortly, the team winning is either going to be very lucky or very good. From a haphazard assortment of feminine out- door activities, the position of women ' s athletics, under the guidance of Caroline Hodgdon and Florence Sturdevant, has climbed to a new level of importance on the Occidental campus. With the introduction of system, an intelligent assort- ment of games, and the scientific principles of physical education, the Women ' s Athletic Depart- ment can well be rated as one of the best, in pro- portion, on the Pacific Coast. Believing that the integration of intramural and intercollegiate ac- tivities would result in a fine blending of the ath- letic and social interests between the women of Occidental and those on other campi, a program has been developed which to date has been ster- ling in its results. Starting the year with a series of inter-class field hockey contests, the season was brought to a close with the traditional Hockey Spread the evening of November 21, at which time the Sophomore women ' s team were declared cham- pions. To bring the women of the W.A.A. clos- er together socially, a mountain party was held February 22. The next event on the sports cal- endar was the interclass basketball series from which the Sophomore team again emerged vic- torious. The W.A.A. held a baslcetball dinner to mark the successful ending of this second intra- mural sport. Entertaining and matching their skill with girls from Southern California Junior Colleges, a playday was held April 21. Again acting as hostesses, the women of the college staged a May Fete the first of May which was attended by high school and junior college wom- en throughout the Southland. May 7 inaugurat- ed a series of off-campus play days. The seventh saw our girls travelling to Citrus J. C. for some tennis matches. On May 9 they played at U.C. LA. in all sports, although a few of the tennis team met Pomona on the courts. May 21 was the grand finale of women ' s sports for the year when a splash party was held with archery, ten- nis, swimming, and baseball being played. 74 ATHLETICS the trophy cases.

ARCHERY ill ' -U Book V I N ENROLLMENT pur- posely restrained from reaching bovine proportions makes possible the compact- ness and unity of student organizations on this cam- pus. No organization boasts campus dominance. A thorough distribution of club membership keeps a pleasant balance among spe- cial interests. An ancient tradition lies behind many Occidental organiza- tions. Some date their birth with that of the col- lege itself; others are slowly formed products of the growth of organized enthusiasms and inter- ests. Among honorary organizations, that of Phi Beta Kappa generates most local and national in- terest. Those elected to the Key during the Fall semester were Ruth Babcock, Stephanie Pollitzer, Duncan Davidson, Richard Wheatley, and Ger- hard Ehmann. During the spring semester Wood- ruff Deem, Margaret Day, Carroll Day, Mar- garet Tepper, Daniel Gage, Ralph Boynton, Al- fred Hartley and Floy Hendricks achieved the high honor. Galen Geller, elected at a special de- ferred meeting in 1935, deserves mention in this group. Yearly the women of the institution endow with admission to Dranzen those of their gender who have considerably distinguished themselves on their own and the college ' s behalf. A similar honorary group among the men is D.O. Barbara Holmes achieved the presidency of the select women ' s organization and Bob Packer did as much in D.O. Also an honorary organization is Sigma Alpha Iota which draws unto itself women interested in the spread of musical culture. Dorothy Leibsle presided over the group this year. Off-Campus women is the indicative name of the organiza- tion which, under Martha Sanborn, President, Helen Hornberger, Vice-President, and Frances Veysey, Secretary, incorporated all women not residing in either the dormitories or sorority houses. Throop Club men of Caltech will re- member the dance which was given here on the campus in collaboration with this group. The Varronian, a mustering of women library workers, complained of overwork to President Patricia Smith, who succeeded bubbly Margaret Tepper. An enthusiasm for things old, cultural and foreign is fostered by Book and Candle. Stephanie Pollitzer heads a selected and furtively meeting group. Those afflicted with Majors in History and Government talk shop in Kappa Nu Sigma, watched over with a paternal eye by Dr. Hardy and governed by Directors Dan Gage, Esther Davis and Ralph Boynton. The Bengal Board assumes responsibility for Friday effervescenses in chapel and takes serious- ly that nebulous contrivance known as school morale. Chairman Bill MacDougall yields to suc- cessor Vernon Baker. The Y.W.C.A. sponsors interest groups, makes an earnest effort to collect dues, mothers an annual fashion show and en- courages moral equilibrium. Barbara Holmes brought brains and insistent enterprise to the or- ganization as its president. She is succeeded by the no less capable Betty McNair. International relations are smoothed out in Cosmopolitan Club conventions. Cosmopolitan- ites exhibit foreign curiosities, plan international balls, eat at Chinese restaurants and acknowl- edged Bob Fisher as President last year, with Bill Burns as his successor. Phyllis Armstrong here adds to her extensive list of social chairmanships. Laurean increases the list of literary clubs on 113 campus, enlisting upper class women who achieve recommendation by the English Department. Membership is limited, rumor goes, and Betty Schermerhorn is president. Enthusiasm over cur ' rent literature and drama is either buoyed or de- flated by occasional en masse attendance at Los Angeles playhouses. Underclass women unable to subdue literary aspiration turn to Dial, an organization interest- ed in the study and production of writing. Anne Harlan, shy, small and blonde, was president. The Press Club, revitalized with new blood, un- dertook the publication of the first Sabretooth in several years. The club is still in travail, leav- ing the publication date as yet undecided. The Stelter castle housed bi-monthly meetings under President Guy Nunn and Secretary Margaret Tepper, who willed an immortal set of triolets to those not graduating. Omega Phi Epsilon embraces all men of the college not belonging to a fraternity, these gen- tlemen having decided to abandon the somewhat contradictory title of Non-Orgs. Charles Hall was succeeded by Bill Burns as president. Phi Kappa Alpha involves ten upper-class men whose major interest is a B.A. in the antinomies of Sup- ply and Demand. A scholarly interest and a good excuse for having become an Economics Major in the first place are prerequisites to membership. The business of arousing good fellowship in the Student Body falls to the Tiger Claws, who had President Vernon Baker as guide in this work. The O club, last semester presided over by Jack Sheridan and this term by Jerry Isett, is composed of major letter-winners of the institu- tion. Guiding with somewhat erratic hand the vicis- situdes in local fraternity affairs, members of the Inter-fraternity Council meet once a month to exchange complaints, limit rushing expenses by mutual agreement, discuss gravely the seriousness of the hazing situation, keep a wary eye on the faculty and each other and plan whatever social events dot the calendar. Heads of the five (soon to be four) fraternities rooted at Occidental com- pose the Council. Dr. Arthur G. Coons is the distillation of tact as faculty soothsayer of the group, oiling troubled waters as often as the oc- casion demands. The Inter- fraternity Dance, so- cial feature of the fraternity year, absorbed much of the attention and most of the pocketbook of the Greeks. Midwick Country Club housed the affair. Sorority women find themselves under an or- ganization of broadly similar function, the Pan- Hellenic Council, which meets over tea to worry through sorority ailments. Peggy Powell presided last year. Among the questions debated at meet- ings was the matter of a site for the Pan-Hell Dance, which finally bulged the Riviera Club. The most significant event of the Greek year was the announcement that Psi Delta Chi would, next fall, be merged with Alpha Tau Omega, the amalgamation to retain the name of the national house. The merger should be of considerable benefit to both houses, although it will doom the Council to an eternity of locked ballots, since only four members will compose the body. Other- wise, the excitement of the year was furnished in a social way, with the transom-peekers of the Occidental heightening the flavor of the minu- tae with sinister post-mortem inferences. Num- berless house dances were held, mother ' s teas were an almost weekly fixture, and petitions for more teas and more dances kept social coordin- ator, Mrs. Pipal, in a high flutter of activity for the latter part of the spring semester. Rushing, now that the depression definitely had been proven over, picked up noticeably, with a spirited but friendly campaign leaving every- one practically even — except the hill-housed SA.E. ' s, who gathered in twenty-eight at the first swoop, discovering many of the year ' s Frosh football team in the catch. In a sudden spurt of ambition these gentlemen likewise snatched in the scholarship cup. Among the women, the Zetas achieved a scholastic coup which not only gave them the sorority laurel, but proved their capacity to live both the sophisticated and the academic life. A series of house parties in May furnished whatever pre- June sunburn was seen on campus. Intra-mural athletics kept fraternity rivalry spas- modically alive, with the Kappa Sigma and A.T.O. ' s enjoying a slight bulge at the time of this writing. The past year, on the whole, is among the chummiest in the history of the social organizations. No one appears to have violated seriously the rushing rules, enough pledges to go around were furnished by the new boom in en- rollment, no vital heart conflicts disturbed the peace, and omens are good for as contented a season next year. 114 HONORARY ORGANIZATIONS . . .

BUNDY QUILL PRESS 1228 South Flower Street LOS ANGELES 173 JUST A WORD IN RECOCN ITION ' In the building of a college yearbook, custom seems to have established the estimable principle that it is desirable for the volume to be conclud- ed with an appreciatory word by its editor. Such a word I should feel impelled to express, how- ever, regardless of whether or not tradition had perpetuated such a procedure, because of the genuinely sincere feelings of appreciation which I hold for the splendid labor and co-operation given by certain individuals in the production of the 1936 La Encina. To that indefatigable duo, Peggy Houghton and Don Spencer, who labored long and diligently on layouts in addition to their work either on lists of names or in compiling information, I herewith offer my sincere thanks. Likewise to Paul Pauly do I express my appreciation — the snapshot edi- tor whose interest and skill in photography plus his hard work in planning the pages have com- bined to produce the snapshot section in this year- book. Credit is due Sport Editor Paul Manning for his work on the athletic section and his com- prehensive resume of the year ' s activities in the field of sports. It is Guy Nunn who must be thanked for the greater portion of the textual material, and the fact that he had his own exec- utive duties to perform in addition, makes his aid in the production of the book even more appre- ciated. To Jane Frampton I express my thanks for work on layouts and also on other phases of the book. Gratitude is also due Betty Merchant for her work on lists and layouts, to Patsy Henry for her assistance with the pictures and also with the Women ' s Athletic section and to Margaret Lientz for her work on the panels and the Alum- ni Section. May I express my gratitude to Doro- thea Davis for her work on lists and pictures, to Phyllis Armstrong for her co-operation in the gathering of data and her work on the dummy, to Bill Nance for his handling of appointments for the portrait photography, and to Bill Burns for his managing of the group picturing. Grate- ful acknowledgement should be made to Frances Holbrook and Woodruff Deem who handled the Senior Section most efficiently. Thanks are due Bettie Dean Hart for her ready willingness to type whenever and whatever was needed, and recognition should be given to Harlan Palmer, whose very efficient handling of the advertising entirely relieved any possible concern which might have existed for the success of that section of the book. To Mr. Martin of the W. Albert Martin Studios in Pasadena I am grateful for the splen- did handling of the photography in the book and his congeniality as a co-worker. Sincerely do I thank genial Ken Stevener of Bryan-Branden- burg for the many hours he spent personally on the book and also do I thank his company for its splendid service in the engraving. To Johnny Jackson, of Carl A. Bundy Quill and Press, al- ways patient and cheerful even though the copy came in late, I express my grateful appreciation, not only for his patience and good humor, but for his ready willingness to offer suggestions in perplexing situations. I wish also to thank Mr. McGrath of Weber-McCrea Co. for his co-oper- ation and his ready willingness to submit cover plans until the binding which the staff desired was produced. The 1936 La Encina is now finished. It has involved hard work and thought on the part of numerous individuals. This time, however, may be considered to have been well spent if, in the years to come, the volume proves to be a vital, interesting, fond-remembrance-awakening book. It is with this hope uppermost, that the staff of the 1936 La Encina passes the annual along to you, its judges. Kenneth F. White, Editor 174
