Q When we start to put Pomona between covers, we have to admit that there is more to it than meets the eye, that there is an atmosphere about the place that defies description.

We'd have 880 people to deal with if we defined Pomona through the personalities of the people who make it up: and even if we COULD look into all of them, and into the individual give-and-take between each of them and the college that adds up to make Pomona, the result would be so bewildering we might not know any more about the place than when we started. Anyway, isn't it what they do IN COMMON that makes Pomona? What DO they do? They come to Claremont- 12 I They're caught up by the college TRADITION They WORK hard- ?7 , And they have a GOOD TIME BUT EVERY COLLEGE has its traditions, work and good times, just as every college has a campus and faculty and students, There COULD be other collegeswith 800 students and a faculty of 80, but they obviously wouldn't be Pomona, no matter how similar they were.

IT'S A GREAT INVESTMEN' Fifty-five years ago a group of fifteen men, early settlers in southern California. formed the first Board of Trustees of Pomona College. and set about incorporating the school. Since that time. the board. working with its partners in the venture. the administrators and faculty. has been responsible for much of the swift and continuous expansion of Pomona. and for its widespread reputation. as one of the finest of liberal arts colleges. Because Pomona is privately endowed. improvements and additions to its campus are the results of the generosity of its many friends. General coordinators of funds and endowments and of college administration are the trustees. now thirty in number. They meet regularly. are represented in part by the hand- some headgear deposited outside the committee room lrightl. One of the most conspicuous results of endowment is the Mabel Shaw Bridges Hall of Music lbelow. rightl which was the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Appleton S. Bridges of San Diego. in memory of their daughter. who attended Pomona. Below left are seen some of the recent im- provements in the library. Thanks again to gifts of Pomona's friends. its main lobby. loan desk and read- ing rooms were renovated. typical of the debt Pomona owes to benefactors who come through with her needs. tr g . ,7g'L.-E,g,j,t -s .--5 k mia 'iv - b.- 4 , w ' 'Wm-N, AND It was in 1883 that the large group of Congregational churches in the valley de- cided southern California needed a college. Almost settling in Beaumont or Red- lands, the founders finally decided on North Pomona. named the college Pied- mont, changed to Pomona in deference to the home city. In rural Claremont. they then decided. was the freedom from distraction and dissipations of the city needed by college students. Holmes was dedicated in 1893. The chapel, which seated 300. was used as the community church. was nearly doubled in size in 1904. Nearly every department has once headquartered here. L 'THE STCRY OF IT! The founders of Pomona were in such a hurry to get it going in the fall of 1888 that they could not wait for the completion of the Central Building, got accommodations in Pomona in a five room cottage at the corner of White l Avenue and Fifth Street, of which this building is a replica. The vine- covered arbor was used as a recitation room, the hedges as vaulting bars. This was College avenue in about 1904, soon cj In 1893 everyone had thought Holmes would be eno physics, and the second floor for biology and cr 1 BUILDING IS A LONG ONE For a time Sumner Hall WAS Pomona College. The college had Pomona men lived in Sumner until 1908, when Dr. D. K. originally been located in North Pomona, but was moved to Pearsons, with 525.000 to give. proposed that a dorm be Claremont upon the purchase of this building, which was then built. George Marston contributed some, also, and the Hotel Claremont. History instructor Iohn Kemble likes to dis- building was up in 90 days. The north section was used :lose that his office upstairs was at that time a bathroom. by ,the music department until it was crowded out. Esons hall had been built, the third of Pomona's important campus buildings. for some time. The basement was used for chemistry, the first floor tor m. The president's room and the business office were also in this building. The campus today occupies ' about 50 acres, has nineteen buildings. It has been made possible because of the gen- I A erosity of friends from Bos- ton to San Diego. who have endowed it with approxi- mately S7,000.000 worth of buildings, landscaping and equipment. There seems to be something about the place that attracts their in- terest and respect to the extent of reaching down for generous gifts. without which Pomona would be nothing but a dream. Q AS FOR THE STUDENTS, THET A brief trip into the Harwood Court basement disclosed this well-traveled luggage, indica- tive of the fact that many Pomona students are or have been globe trotters. Those who have attended schools in foreign countries or in other parts of the United States. find that Pomona compares favorably with the best of them as to climate, curriculum and campus. OME FROM EVERYWHERE OR ALL SORTS OF REASONS Once. before they even enrolled in Pomona College, freshmen were asked to write a letter, stating briefly their reasons for wanting to come here. They probably consulted a catalogue, tried to remember what people had told them about the place, and maybe they even attempted to think up something original. Anyway, most of them ended by saying approximately the same things, as we found when we checked with people whose iob it is to read the letters, and whom we asked to give us a line on why people said they came here. First of all, they chose Pomona because they wanted a small college, with opportunities, because of small classes, to get something more than impersonal lectures out of their pro- fessors. On a small campus they would not be little fishes in a big pond, but could very well master the whole place. The beauty of the campus was not a small fac- tor in their choice, and all of them who had visited Pomona before were enthusias- tic about their first impressions. Many of them had received recommendations from friends or teachers or relatives who were alumni, and whose loyalty inspired their decisions. The lecture and artist course series, the highly-successful placement bureau, the honors course system, the many extra-curricular activities-all of these things, on such a scale as they were that students could take them all in, and so round out their personalities better than in a larger, more complex, more impersonal school-all of these things affected their decision to come here. Registrar Howard Pattee, succeeded next year by assistant dean of students I. Edward Sanders, is responsible for lining up prospective Pomonans. Out of his office go piles of material telling what Pomona is all about, and he visits high schools to talk personally with graduating seniors. Other influences are publicity that gets into such papers as the Los Angeles Examiner and New York Times, and the interest aroused by the glee clubs as they tour, and suppos- edly, by exchange copies of METATE. 3 .-,mwe,....rJmf.-- .-..,.-...--..-v ,. ,...,,e THEY GET IN STEP EARLY No matter why or from where they come, once they get here freshmen find orientation pretty simple. Despite what fathers and older brothers have told them, they still arrive in Claremont bewildered and green. But within a few days the rest of the college will pick up where it left off the spring before and go blithely on. leaving the frosh behind if it were not for Pomona's answer to this problem: a retreat in the mountains with Ghosts and faculty. who tell the eager thoughtful and reverent newcomers fexamine faces in these picturesl just what is expected of them, and how best to take hold. The retreat. then, is a Pomona institution designed to get new Sagehens off on the right foot. The Ghosts sponsor the retreat. which is held over night in San Dimas canyon. and give the freshmen a tie-in with the upperclass leaders from the start. The Ghosts warn their Ghostees about the things that are expected of them. like dink-wearing, follow through by calling in rebels during the first few weeks, to be sure none miss hitting their stride. Before turning in after an afternoon of sessions and sports, the men hear words of advice from Dean Nicholl. Eugene Nixon and advisor Fuzz Merritt. The next morning fopposite pagel, Sunday. they at- tend services. hear from Dean Gibson and President Edmunds. This year, the newly-elected president, E. Wilson Lyon, introduced himself as a fellow freshman. D, , '41 I l l 4 4- 1 I ,F , W' F ' 4 ' - l f Q In 1 , i-faq: S 1 L -- A I.

COMPLETI Class organization takes care of many interests, and membership in the Associated Students of many more, but there are still other interests that belong exclusively to men or to women, which don't brook sharing. The women, for instance, not having sororities. and having their own ath- letic program to promote, and needing specialized vocational guidance and counseling, organize the Associated Women Students to coordinate their activities for the sake of efficiency. Incoming freshman women are initi- ated formally, and the big events of the year are the Christmas formalt and Women's Day. Mortar Board and WAA and the religious council are AWS affiliates. This year Betty Reed headed up the activities. Her successor is President Ruth Myers. The residence council, stern recorders of the break slip, call two culprits on the carpet under the AWS-rule-enforcing chairmanship of Virginia Rodenbaeck. ii HEY CRGANIZE BY SE ES The men. too, have their own special interests, and belong automatically to an organization which takes care of them. The Associated Men's Students is not so prominent or evident an organization as the AWS for the simple reason that men have other outlets for their interests in varsity and inter- fraternity athletics, but it does play an impor- tant part incampus life, whether or not even its members are conscious of even the fact that it exists. Sponsored by the men each year are the barn dance, fsee pictures elsewherel, which serves to relieve the post-exam weariness, and the AMS formal. This year the men went through much red tape and suffered much agony as they dickered for Alvino Rey, who was iust beginning to climb into popularity. Winning out over bookers and movie studios, they got him and put on one of the year's best formals. One phase of AMS that nearly all men bless at one time or another is its loan fund accumulated from dues and the proceeds of dances. and which is under the administration of Dean Nicholl fshown in center picture lending some to a student caught in a tight spotl. Money also goes towards the athletic program, to help buy insignia and awards. to send Pomona athletes on special trips, and to subsidize the handbook. This year the AMS sponsored Christmas gifts to British war orphans. Administrators of all this, promoters of the AMS formal and of the barn dance, and sub- sidizers of much campus activity are the AMS pres- ident and vice president, Whit Halladay and Grant McCully, shown right to left in the top picture. The word FREE above this door at Harper, though part of a quotation, is sheer irony. 30 WITH 37, THE To finance activities they will have in common, incoming students dig down for S7 student body dues. thus make themselves acting members of the As- sociated Students of Pomona College. Detail work for all A. S. P. C. activities is carried on in the office right across from the Coop, where Graduate Man- ager William Howard and his secre- tary, Mrs. Helen Throne, pictured be- low, serve as custodians of all student funds, and advise representatives of campus organizations as to how much money there is to be spent and the most profitable way to spend it. Eight hours a day these two are kept busy issuing purchase orders, checking in- voices, paying salaries, and making out tax reports and payments. They are representatives for the athletic de- partment, make out sport schedules, arrange for officials and team trans- portation, and keep all records of game results and awards. In short, the execu- tive committees make their plans, then ask Mr. Howard whether or not there is enough money to carry them out. If there isn't, they stick around, and after a while, he will always find a way. fi IIIHII s in-.. um A-J - EY? i SED' Q irq ' r 4' N W va-e ,, O ' ra I L ' 7 e . f- H , , , T' I' 'i W-.1'e5'+-:.1.-'ut --Y f ,I 'J J H l mv' mf ' ,fl v .

Left to right they are: I ack Lang- dell, sophomore class president: Vin- cent Peterson, chairman religious ac- tivities: Art Mallette, ASPC secretary: Ed Sprotte, Interfraternity council pres- ident: Bill Kingsley, rally chairman: Louis Dimmick, senior class president: Ruth Myers, junior class president: Carolyn Moore, chairman dramatic ac- tivities: Betty Reed, AWS president, and Bob Stone, freshman class presi- dent. Barbara B. Smith, chairman mu- sical activities, and Anne Lingle, ASPC vice-president, were absent members. 32 All of that organization by classes and by sexes, and along interest lines-music, dramatics. and iournalism, which we will see later-is brought to a head and coordinated in the Student Executive Council of the ASPC, which meets regularly to handle for the students the financial details con- nected with their activities. To see what they do. we have gleaned excerpts from secretary Art Mallette's minutes: September 23, 1941: The floor was turned over to Anne Crooks for a discussion of exchange dinners. The feelings of the members of the council were heard. It was decided to have a non-date Coop patio dance, then schedule an exchange dinner for the same night. The proposed trip to the San Diego football game was next discussed. Bill Kingsley explained the necessity of hiring buses to take the students from Claremont to the station at Fullerton. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL RUN IT Here they would meet the special Santa Fe train. Due to the extra expense of such a plan it was decided to expend ASPC money to meet that extra cost .... The departure of President Edmunds tor the East from the Claremont Santa Fe station at 9:26 P. M.. September 24, was brought to the attention of the council. It was decided to have a big rally-parade to see him off. . . . November 4, 1941: The offer of Fred Waring to write a song for Pomona was discussed. The rec- ommendation ot the acceptance of that offer was made by the council to the Rally Com- mittee. . . . Ianuary 14, 1942: President Freeman opened the discussion oi the Col- lege Chest campaign. He indicated that the main duty of the Executive Council was to publicize the Chest. Mr. Howard indicated that S482 was collected last year. including the S100 donation made by the faculty. The following decisions were made: 1. Each stu- dent is to be asked to contribute S2. 2. Each student donating at least Sl will be entitled to a membership card. 3. The drive will be held at the beginning oi each semester instead of just once a year. 4. An extensive publicity campaign will be carried out to get the best possible results. . . . February 18. 1942: Ed Sprotte, Inter-Fraternity President, next spoke about the Inter-Fraternity Dance. He indi- cated that the general opinion ot the student body was in favor oi an oft-campus dance. The faculty would approve of such a dance ii it were not held too tar from the campus.

The economics department, for instance. is practically indispensable for students who look forward to pro- fessional careers in law, business. social service or public administration. as is the government department. Pomona leans far that way, makes an effort by means of honors courses and other special work to give interested students a practical boost with their careers.

Top, above, are Emeritus Professors Mendal G. Framp- ton and Bruce McCulley. Below are short-story writer- department head Elliot Lincoln. Ernest Strathmann. The position of the English department is made difficult by the fact that many students come to college these days having missed formal grammar. have to be started over again from the bottom up. That leaves less time for the real work of the department. which nevertheless gets done well: acquaint- ing Pomonans with the ideas and personali- ties that have gotten into permanent form through literature, to encourage any student who might want to pass along some himself. This whole METATE is an attempt to pin Pomona down. A maior part of the process is this section on the faculty -backbone of the school through its yearly changes and turnover of students. Because they have spent much time studying to make themselves experts in their field, they are valuable for the authoritative information they pass on. But the information is not worth one bit if it does not entail work and organization-out of which comes the disciplined, educated, integrated graduate who is the only excuse for the college's being. One of our major points. then, is that Pomona, where these professors make their students dig for what they get, and where under- standing has priority over factual memory--that Pomona is Pomona very largely because of these 66 professors of knowledge, and their 14 administrative colleagues. Dr. Benjamin Scott addresses one of his public address classes in Holmes, before turning it loose on a debate of its own. Illustrative of the extremes of liberal arts curriculum are the history and mathematics department. One is interested in laying a foundation for the understanding of contemporary problems, the other in measuring and calculating and making ordered sense of the world that writes the history. History professors Iohn H. Gleason and Frank Pitman take a short stroll around Sumner before their ll:00s. lake Graham gives a report on outside reading to Iohn H. Kemble, former history instructor, now in the Navy. Math profs Chester Iaeger and Hugh Hamilton utilize a class break to explain a model to a curious student.

Besides required classes, the department also sponsored interclass games and tournaments, horse shows, and weekends at the AWS cabin at Halona. Gertrude Amling, grad- uuate student, was an able assistant in the depart- ment, taking over many tennis, badminton classes.

Darsie, one-time METATE editor, now a sports editor on the Herald-Express tat work abovel remembers when chapels were compulsory, when dancing was prohibited. when the trend was up to Indian Hill rather than to the Wash. He tells the story of one tradition he helped start below. We have been given the credit for originating the custom of lighting the P during a major football rally. That is not altogether correct. In 1917 I hap- pened to be yell leader, and someone came to me and suggested that lanterns be placed on the letter so that it would be illuminated at night. Instead of lanterns, the Pacific Electric contributed two dozen red flares from the emergency boxes on the rear platforms of the cars - although this may come as news to that great company-and a dozen of our men took the flares up into the mountains. Came the rally and at one minute to nine we called on those in the stands to look to the hills for an answer as to which would win. We hoped that even as they looked, the P would burst into light. No Eine in that rally crowd prayed as we did-that it ould come off. But it did. It worked and the crowd roared its approval. A tradition was started. Richard N. Loucks. Ir.. Los Angeles insurance man, was here in 1913, left Pomona richer with Hail, Pomona Hail, comes out often to visit Pomona and son Dick. He remembers several traditions that haven't stood the test of time: For example, the now departed Plug Ugly . . . put on by men of the Iunior class. chock full of wit and humor and panning everybody on the campus from the Dean on down, and the Waiters Union. And Allen Hawley, who has kept track of the alumni as pub- licity head and alumni secretary tshown above with his office aidesl discloses that Mr. Loucks wrote Hail, Pomona, Hail, one of the country's best school hymns, at the last minute rehearsal of a minstrel show, to give it a punch ending. The show was a benefit to buy baseball team suits in 1919. 1d TRADITICN PLAYS A LARG SEPTEMBER: At the opening con- vocation of the year. the junior class presented the school with a new flag. This is the traditional duty of the iuniors, each year to replace the worn banner. O C T O B E R : This year's founder's day ceremonies included inauguration of the sixth president of the college. the tra- ditional flame ceremony, and a lunch and band concert for the guests on the Quad. I A N U A R Y: Each year the local ROTC unit comes out socially by giving a formal ball. This year, as usual, the place was decorated with the battalion weapons and by the uniforms and medals of cadet officers. 50 FEBRUARY: At the George Washington convocation. as at all Pomona convocations. the faculty attends in colorful academic re- galia, and students hear a discussion of some serious subject of concern to them.

Roosevelt in Claremont tree-planting. 51 FRESHMEN 8: SOPHOIVICRE' TRADITIONAL HCJRSEPLA Being plopped down as they are in a new and different environment, the freshmen see tradi- tions from the front on, instead of, as alumni see them, from the rear looking back. At that angle, some of them take on even more im- portance, especially to a bunch of newcomers who want above all to do what is expected. No school, of course, is without its frosh-soph fisti- cuffs. The freshmen expect it. almost with antici- pation. Freshmen have had to prove their mettle in the past, and every new class wants a chance to prove its own. The sophomores, on the other hand, want a chance to dish out what they had to take the year before. Most of the conflict at Po- mona revolves around whether or not the freshmen will get organized to violate the sacred soph arch. It all starts before school begins, when the fresh- men, having weathered registration and male and female acclimation fsee pages 19-227, get together in Frary to meet the opposite sex. After dinner they go to the gym for Fuzz's incomparable mixers. On hand to harrass them are the inevitable sophomores, who check all newcomers for bibles and dinks. After the girls are safely in Harwood, the freshmen decide it's time for action, storm the arch fabovel. After this initial skirmish, except for minor argu- ments over dinks and school songs, things die down until after freshman nominations, when tra- dition dictates the next move: the kidnapping of the presidential nominees. This year, as usual, the sophomores were lucky enough to bag them. METATE, scouting for pictures, was also lucky, managed to get this one of the actual kidnap- ping. The whole male contingent of the class of '44 was organized and on hand for the iob. 52 x 'Y .. 5,81 . w H s K1 .. - -A .1 :R I' , , 4 . , - ,,. I , ,fja ww 1 1 . M! ef L , 4 AW' T' ' Q ' 1.

The vigil went by the boards this fall. after a particularly har- rowing night last year. But the real tradition-the rally itself-did not seem to suffer: the fire was built in a day: the lighting of the P went off smoothly: the sophomores finally got their sweaters sprung, and Fred Waring de- voted practically half of his Chesterfield program to Pomona and the rally. topping the evening with a brand new little tradition, Son of a Chick. Although everyone said it couldn't be done, advisors Merritt and Tyson pitched in to help build the fire in about 12 short hours. As always, alumni and wives and husbands gath- ered in Frary before the rally. to renew old con- tacts. get up spirit for the fun to follow. As always, Dean Nicholl did a neat vaudeville routine with a series of funny hats. After the program. andwhile waiting for the fire to die down before leaving. visi- tors and students alike gathered for a song-fest. 55' i AND WOMEN 'S DAY The May Masque, one of the better known of Pomona's time-honored traditions, had its beginnings in a short, informal Wash Program given by the graduating class during Commencement week. Today it climaxes a full day's program sponsored by the women and featuring a play day for girls from surrounding high schools, a luncheon, a fashion show, sports exhibits, a musicale, and a turf supper. Most queenly members of the senior class make up the May Day Court, are pictured above. First row: Virginia Roden- baeck, Anne Boyd, and Betty Thompson. Second row: Margaret MacPherson.

After weeks of ding sessions, in which prospective members are decided on, after much confusion and log-rolling, and after a party at which the less well-acquainted members actually see the men all the con- fusion was about, pledges are finally cleared through the Dean's office, and are gathered up by the members, as the Sig Taus are doing above. From then on their time is not much their own. E F CR MUCH LCCAL CUSTCM For. before they are full-fledged members. pledges have to undergo a prescribed program of hell-week activities. designed to wear them down. and so prepare them for more complete individual subiection to the group.

The Kappa Theta Casino, a Reno-ish decoration of the room, complete with a bar, poker tables and small music combinations, proved to be one of the highlights of the Clark open house. The general taste of the present membership seems to run to music. As is true in every college, fraternities vary in standing from year to year: the Kappa Thetas seem to be on the upswinq. 62 A f , T s ,.

Alpha Gamma Sigma seemingly went military this year: president Bob Ballard, Morty Iohnson and Mark Durly held the positions of Lieutenant-Colonel, Major and Captain, respectively, in the ROTC battalion. The Alpha Gams saw fit not to increase the size of their order by more than four, concen- trated on the decoration of their rooms and cabin. The former won first prize in the Clark open house contest, and the latter was the scene of many fraternity parties during the year. The group had tor a long time the connotation ot including only the artistic side of school lite, broadened out this year. Seven men will be lost to the fraternity by graduation, making it the smallest tong on campus. AND INTERTCNG AFFAIRS AR Student spirit gets impetus from the friendly but vigorous strife among the fraternities, who also justify their existence by sponsoring the annual interfraternity formal. Enthusiasm on campus rises to fever pitch several times a year when the inter-tong sports meets and series are held. The Kappa Deltas won the volleyball crown in the fall, but lost their basketball trophy to the Sig Taus. who are shown above, right. cheering the Phi Deltas after the deciding game. Toughest rivalry is that between the Kappa Deltas and Phi Deltas. whose game got typically rough labove, leftl.

LN CLD ANNUAL ROUTINE 76-74 was the score of the interfraternity swim meet, with Nu Alpha Phi on the long end, Sigma Tau close behind. As in the track meet, fraterni- ties were penalized 1 point for every man who didn't show up for at least the 50 yard dash. Kappa Delta kept another trophy on its mantle when it won the soitball tourney fa Phi Delta-Kappa Theta game in progress belowl from Sigma Tau. Phi Delta came in second. Alpha Gams fourth. 67 BUT TRADITION ISN'T EVERYTHING As Dave Freeman said in his welcome to new students in the fall: There is a certain amount of tradition and custom at Pomona, though we are not bound by it. We like to feel that we are carrying on the spirit which is our heritage. You will learn this feeling, just as you will come to thrill to the chanting rhythm of 'Torchbearersf and to feel the peace of our Quad at sunset. Drum beats rolled o'er the silence profound. far above Pomona, above Pomona. Chanting braves making echoes resound. far above Pomona, above Pomona. Garbed all in feathers, each ghostly frame, loomed 'gainst the embers while soft there came, borne through the gloom like a feather of flame, He ne terratoma. ne terratoma. He ne terratoma. ne terratoma. 68 At any rate, these have been the traditions Pomona has built during fifty odd years. They account for much of its individuality. But traditions change. Some are short-lived, and some are just in the making. The work we do and the good times we have are the stuff from which the new ones are made. Pomona is Pomona, then, not only because of the established traditions like the frosh re- treat and the Oxy bonfire, but because of the new ones we may be making now, in the midst of our good times and WORK. 69 Z2 Mir . . lwl' -Sm Ps fx, ?, 5 Baugf,,,.. -' '53-V--,1, . .

For one of the things we noticed first when we really began to look for things that ought to go into METATE was the amazingly large amount of work-manual and mental-that goes into maintaining a comparatively small college. On this page are some who, in their own way-from keeping the Quad mowed to interpreting Descartes or iuggling grade points-help make this particular college what it is. 71 X X I, , x X K X ' x ,411 , X 4-I 1. 42 .pw K6 Q 1 '44 ' ...gpm 'T-LT-fi' w ga, fl 1 I A ..,..

Building it in the first place involved carpenters and masons: keeping its plant going involves more work- men and technicians: keeping it well-groomed involves a large grounds crew and a staff of ianitors. But once it is built, once the physical work of plastering walls and planting trees is done, it is still not a college. It becomes one only through the carrying on of the work for which all that other work involved was done in the first place-brain-work. A college exists to train students who have postponed tackling their own and the world's problems until they have some advanced training. That training involves work on their part. and on the part of those who have made it their iob to train them. There is work, then, not only in the class, but both before and after the class. in the office of the instructor who explains the lesson and grades the papers-in this case, Captain Stewart of the ROTC. A WORKING DAY IN THE LIFE CF A STUDENT ll De Villo Brown is a good illus- tration of the student who begins his day right after breakfast . . . 27 studying in the coop for his first class - which is followed by two others before lunch. 31 In the afternoon he goes to Brackett observatory for his as- tronomy lab with Prof. Whitney. 41 After lab, during the football season, comes a couple of hours practice on the field. 51 D. V. comes in off the field just in time to shower and then wait on his table. 61 After 8. when the tables are cleared. he goes to the library for an hour or so. 71 After the library closes there is time to deliver his laundry and dry cleaning before 8l winding up the day with an hour or so more work: a full day but not the exception.

BUT THE WORK DOESN'T STOP WITH FINISHED ASSIGNMENTS We've seen Pomona from the angle of the students as they work with the faculty in class, seminar and laboratory. But work at Pomona is more than that. Pomona can also be partly defined by the work that goes on after hours-behind the cafeteria line. and on the athletic field, and on and behind the stage. There's a lot of it. and it is important to look into all of it. if we are to measure the place fully by the work that goes on here. One night. we left the editorial desk long enough to take a walk around the campus, to get a line on the work that goes on after hours. In the dorms. of course, and in the library. there was supposedly a lot of work going on. But we were interested in more than reading assignments and English com- positions. We were looking for a different sort of thing-the kind of work that is done in spare time. or at the expense of good times and finished assign- ments. We were on the lookout for lights that would tell us where something extra was going on, and we found several. As we left the Coop, the first one we saw was in Holmes, where we walked in on a late rehearsal of The Sky's the Limit. The girls in the cast and on the production staff had taken out late hours and were set for a long night. Taking a turn around the quad. we passed Little Bridges just as Don Sykes was finishing his recital. On the way to the Mish for a snack. we stopped by at the Clare- mont Courier where Student Life was iust going to bed. And when we got back. the whole thing was brought close to home when we saw our own light burning. We decided we were on the right track. JUST FCR INSTANCE, THE IVIETATE IS LOTS GF WORK rst stage in putting out a EITATE is to get pictures that ill tell the story in mind. rch one requires from fifteen nutes to an hour to arrange, Ld a few more to shoot.

Here editor Dille talks over dummy with Progress-Bulletin's A1 Biggs, who had iob of getting METATE into finished form. did bang-up iob. 79 AS THESE WILL TESTIFY When they started putting this ME- TATE together, the editors frankly intended doing most of it themselves. For they had in mind not a mere col- lection of pictures and captions, which could be parceled out to a large staff, and then assembled in a finished book: but, rather, they HOPED to follow the precedent set by Warren Wheeler in his 1941 book, but to go even farther by trying to define and portray the intangible personality of the school that most people recognize and con- tribute to in their own way. Such a iob could not brook too many hands and too much confusion. Editor Dille, admittedly not a photographer, in- cluded many of his own pictures- at the expense of the METATE'S usual photographic excellence, in order to get across the story he had in mind. Nevertheless, both he and associate editor McBride found the going tough near the end, and were lucky to have people will- ing to lend a hand: Warren Wheeler, Bob Walter. David Lacey, David Smith, Norman Prince, Gilbert Cross, Al Heyneman, Ed Fussell. Good, bad, or indifferent, METATE was hard work. Especially helpful to the METATE editors was Warren Wheeler, editor of the prize-winning 1941 book, who volunteered helpful advice when the book was being planned, followed through with criticisms as the work progressed. Bob Walter was the only more articulate senior to come through with reminiscences, conse- quently holds the senior section to- gether all by himself. All along the way-photographers Frank Ordway, Midori and Lloyd Ienkins, engravers Ray Brennan and lack Cannicott and printers Roy Day, Mose Iohnson and Al Biggs-the METATE editor re- ceived boosts from many quarters, takes this opportunity to thank all who pitched in on the arduous iob.

Others find their outlets elsewhere: music, dramatics, honors, athletics. Whatever their motives or interests, they are all alike in that they are working hard to make the most of their time, and in that no matter how much diversion and fun they get from them, their activities are still hard work. Again, just for instance .... FCCTBALL IS HARD SLEDDING ffl 6 Q f I2 Football takes many tiring and sweaty attemoons oi scrimmage like that above where Coaches Heath and Merriitt work out plays. Perhaps hardest worker is the captain. who is responsible tor the team's spirit and for its strategy. At right, at the football banquet, Coach , Merritt congratu- lates Warren Snui- i fy Smith. just an- nounced by 1941 , Captain Iack Tan- i 5 ner as his successor. lj YE WITH MANY UPS AND DOWNS Tense moments on the bench like this put the kick into both the crowd's and the players' football, but they are nerve- wracking, especially to iniured men like Halladay and Cowger who wish they were on the field, can do nothing but chew nails. Football is good, hot, tiring work. The men are out for it, ot course, because they like it. And yet there are times when they give an extra push that is not so much for their own satisfaction as for the victory-loving, spirited student body up in the stands. This was shown in a pointed way this year when several men went out late to bolster an injury-weakened team. For in- stance, note Bill Kern acting as waterboy labovel and on the bench a week later Cleftl to spark the team with his passing. ND SO ARE ALL SPORTS One of the most distinctive things about Pomona, and a major point in this story, as can be seen by the space devoted to it, is her athletic program and the spirit that it engenders, the good times it gives to the rooters, the rallies in conjunc- tion with it, and the WORK that goes into it on the part of coaches and players alike. In the sports program at Pomona College, department head Eugene W. Nixon has said over and over again, we try to find a place for every man. . . . We have no special group of men designated as 'athletes' to do our playing for us .... Pomona has a fine record of victories won in intercollegiate athletics. But above the effort to win we place our desire to make athletics a source of satisfaction and benefit to our men, and a credit to our college. Whether or not the men out for football, basketball, track, baseball, swimming, tennis and golf can get satisfaction without more concentrated attention on victory than that is sometimes a matter for disagreement among the men themselves, but they work nevertheless, and consciously or not, justify Nixon's creed. i G MUCH TIME AND womc WEN l ' ' ' ,Sf flue L . - - . e. -. . - 1. 1 ' c - - , --- t A 5 V- .

That they didn't clean up wasn't because they didn't work hard. right: Diddy, Reeder, Hitchcock, Kern, Clark, Cooley. Thomas, Cowger, Heller. Deane. Fisher, Smith. Tanner, Holbrook. Pursued all season by bad luck, the Pomona Sagehens ended in the conference vault, with all league losses and only two practice wins. Came the first game at Santa Barbara with most of the rooters polishing their wailing stones and crossing their fingers. But the team, which was at greater strength than at any other time. dropped the Gauchos behind to win 7-6. Fisher, Deane and Halladay were lost for most of the season in this game. The next tiff was held with San Diego State. The Aztecs grabbed a touchdown in the first quarter and held the lead. though the Hens dominated the field in the second half. Cowger was injured in this fracas. Nevertheless, things were looking up for the Sagehens. They had met two strong teams, had defeated one, and had lost to the other in a one touchdown game. But in spite of such a promising beginning, the Sagehens were to come upon hard days before long. 86 NTO THE FOCTBALL SEASCN Local rooters cheered in a winner for the last time during the La Verne game. As usual and as expected the Blue and White easily defeated the hapless Leopards in a dull and uninspiring tilt. With Iim Merrill contributing 15 points, the Hens rolled up a 25-0 score. Most fans were not impressed by the colorless performance of the team, and Iohn Iaqua's rib iniury was cr discouraging blow. These pictures by Ordway show the exciting high spots of the game. In spite of brilliant performances by Kern, Shallenberger, Van Ginkle. Fisher and the rest. Al Chang led Redlands to a disheartening 14-0 win over the Sagehens. Although fans were hopeful that traditional Big Game fight would repulse the Tigers. a highly-favored Oxy outfit took the 44th annual game. 26-14. Center Snuffy Smith scored in the first period on an intercepted pass, and a Kern-Reeder toss added the other score as shadows fell. 87 G' 'TN 1 f ' F7137- .1 , 4431 ' , 'sr ' sf J' ie ' W Z :rs-fs ,H .1 X S 4 ' 5- -F ' s' ' A 0 0 , .

The only other real excitement came in the fourth quarter when Pomona had passed itself 67 yards down the field. when the final gun stopped play on Whittier's 20 yard line. It was in this game that Bill Kern let loose his passes that put this picture into sports pages all over the country, and gave Pomona a taste of football thrills. But this was only an incident. For every man put everything into the season. spectacularly or not. He did so because win or lose athletics is still a good outlet for excess energy, and the more satisfying the results the more valuable the outlet. , Captain Ballif works ball in to Morgan, over coach Merritt's simulated defense, as teammates await turns. It looked, this year, as if the basketball season was nothing but work-with not much to show for it. Again, of course, the men who spent the two or three hours every afternoon working out in the gym- working plays, practicing set-up after set-up-were doing it all partly because they like sports, and be- cause they don't HAVE to win to get a kick out of them. Still, though, we think that this year's cage season bears out further our contention that a great deal of their effort is expended for Pomona, in an effort to satiate the Sagehens' natural fighting spirit and give them their due of athletic success. Good. winning, consistent, dependable shooting depends on patient drill and hard practice throughout week. WIN OR LOSI IVIEANS IVIUCI- After a practice season of two wins and four losses, Pomona's Cage Hens started the confer- ence season favored to take the opener over their tradi- tional rival, Oxy. This piece of false optimism was exploded by a 30-43 loss. This was only the beginning. Pomona made the rest of the season's trip in the conference cellar.

Some. on the other hand, were high school or junior college stars. Both kinds are equally good material for coach Robert Strehle, who runs his team as a scientist would run a lab. His technique is interesting: for the first few days he just watches the men, especially the new ones, and makes mental notes of what they seem to have on the ball. Then he begins to prescribe his training. He draws up a chart for every workout, with a different training schedule for every man almost every after- noon, has the men check it before going to work each day fleft picture in top row, belowl. Besides their specialty, he has the men take laps and try out other events. iust to keep them limbered up and from getting stale. And they go through a vigorous warming up before each workout and before each meet ftop. rightl. take time trials once a week, running against the watch to check on improve- ment. Strehle knows what every man is capable of doing, develops each one individually, then plans their entry in each meet so as to get each man at his best. It's the hard way to run a track team. but it gets worthwhile results. More success was realized in track than in any other maior sport this year. as the Sage- hen varsity split two dual meets, and finished second in the Conference meet. held this year on the Alumni field oval. Both the Redlands and Occidental dual meets were rained out, and were never run off. Pomona defeated Whittier 82-49. taking nine first places. Dou- ble winners were Mike Zuniqa in the dis- tances. and Dolph Hill in the hurdles. Local athletes also swept the shot and the iavelin. Cal Tech, with the strongest conference team in dual meet competition. defeated Pomona 74-57. Hill was a standout for the Hens, win- ning both hurdle races and tying for first in the pole vault. Occidental displaced Pomona as conference champion. winning the big meet with 52 points. Pomona edged Cal Tech out for second, and Redlands and Whittier trailed. Conference champions for Pomona were Vaughn. and the relay team of Bruce, Lytle. Hill and Fisher. JRGANIZED, T1-IE HARD WAY Here are pictures of a Wednesday afternoon on the track. when the team holds time trials, each man running his specialty against someone else who paces him. and with Strehle holding the watch and starting him with the gun. For practice starts perfect the quick get-away that often means the difference between winning or losing against even a slower man. Field men, too-shot, iavelin. discus, pole vault. high iump and broad iump work out strenuously. practicing over and over. always under the watchful eye of coach Strehle, who changes their workout schedule according to performance. fy V, 'W me Things were happening this afternoon. and only a few of the team showed up for the track team picture. They are, front row: Lytle, Bruce. Dees, Heublein: back row: manager Cranmer, who worked very hard managing meets, Zuniga, Hill. Brown. Fisher, Bunyan and Hiatt.

Football and basketball and, to a lesser extent, track and baseball have a large following of rooters. The first two are natural drawing cards because they offer chances for rooters to wear off some excess energy. Track meets are often exciting, too, usually draw what crowds they get among people who have time to kill. And people who go out for these sports, then, have the satisfaction of playing before people who appreciate their efforts. The men on these two pages, however, out for the so-called minor sports. don't usually get that kind of satisfaction. Yet, they work iust as hard. The tennis team. for instance, plugged along losing to Red- lands and Oxy, beating and losing to Cal Tech once each. They did better in conference play, tying for second in match play. Freshman Bill Young won frosh singles, teamed with lack Bradford to take the doubles. The golf team admittedly had a hard time of it. It lost Bill Pott right off the bat to an aviation training school. A few other men were ineligible, always a bugbear in competitive athletics, and Bob Chapman, after being elected captain, proceeded to break his arm in the interfraternity track meet. The team lost two meets to UCLA and Cal Tech, one other to SC, but beat Oxy twice. In the conference it was second to Cal Tech, out of first for first time in years. Above left, top putter Bob Hope competes against UCLA on the Indian Hill course. At right. Smith. Caldwell, Hisanaga and Zillgitt await their turn as captain Chapman tees off in a warm-up workout. THE FROSH WORK READYINC Several high school stars and a bunch of eager beginners signed up for this year's football Sagechix. In the front row, left to right: Baird, Overin, Beebe, Rich, Moss, and Shikuma. In the second row: Malan, Cooper, Frisbee, Folks fcapt.l, W. Collins, Droege. Walker: in back row: Heuter, Brown, Gebo, Hamilton, Person, Bryant, D. Collins and Holley Pomona's frosh backfield went the entire season with only six men. lost two of them when Cooper was iniured and Folks shifted to the line. Most memorable event: Bryant's knocking himself silly on Citrus man's knee. Holding ball: coach Potter. Bill Potter's frosh gridsters had a short season and only two conference games on their schedule, but in those few games became known as one of the cleanest, most spirited squads in the Southern California loop. In their only conference win, the Pegasus eleven trounced the Cal Tech freshmen to the tune of 13-0. It was in this fracas that Warren Collins wormed his way to two spectacular touch- downs. Ed Malan, Stan Shikuma and Bob Baird, teamed with captain Ray Folks to make the Oxy cub victory 120-Bl a tough one. The Heath-coached Cagechix started off their season by handily de- feating the local I.C.'s: Chaffey, Citrus and Pomona. They went through their conference games with only one loss: a 53-33 loss to Oxy on the home floor. The frosh track men wound up third best in the conference meet, but, nevertheless, had their moments. With Spen Dennis pitching, the frosh base- ball nine gave plenty of promise for fancy varsity material. Their outstanding game was an 18-3 win over Cal Tech. Robinson and Shikuma led the team's batting with an average of over .300. On the whole, it was a good year for the frosh. and for the upper- classmen who always look for new blood in the ranks, hope for something better each year. FHEIVISELVE S FDR VARSITY The freshmen had a fairly good year, carried a lot of the punch and spirit they apparently had in high school, and did not let the Pomona apathy get them down. They worked hard. Missing from these pictures are tennis men lack Bradford and Bill Young. and the swimmers. who are in varsity swim pictures. Cagechix were, front row: Brown, Bradford, Young.

They did about the same in meets as did the varsity tracksters. The freshman baseball team, front row: Sugden, Malan, San- ders, Dennis. Second row: Shikuma, W. Collins, Robinson Evans, Walker. Third row: manager Sanford. Graas, Tilden, Gilbert. D. Collins. Team was coached by Bill Potter. I Many sessions like the above, and scrimmage games with the varsity, were duly rewarded, as the Chix tied for the loop crown with Occidental's yearlings. Shikuma and Rob- inson were hard hitters, and Dennis did the pitching. MANY D0 THEIR WCRK Ol The athletic teams. then. work out. go into training. and give up much in order to give the school a chance to yell, in order to give backbone to a school spirit that naturally enough feeds best on victories. But that is only one kind of distinction for which to work, the interest of only some people. There are many who go out for dramatics because they like THAT kind of thing, but once they are in a play and the performance is .a few days away. the activity becomes sheer hard work: rehearsing lines with Mrs. Allen labovel, sewing costumes and fixing lights lbelow leftl and building sets Csupervised by Bill Robertson, lower rightl. These pictures show the College Play Merchant of Yonkers in the many phases of its production. 1 4 X 9 I LL I, E WEST Vg? ' 1. I ' 4 v ---v H5 L ei, X-,'ffP3,3i,f-E194-M ' w .

Mrs. Virginia Princehouse Allen, with good talent on hand, and with a Holmes hall always filled with people who know good drama. has given this phase of student activity a special distinction. So good are Pomona plays. so worthwhile as plays and so well done as drama, that almost everyone goes to at least one of the performances. Typical of the kind of thing Pomonans enjoy was this year's production of Thornton Wilder's period farce: The Merchant of Yonk- ers. Three pages back we showed the play taking shape. Here, in Midori's pictures, is the result of all that work. Merchant of Yonkers, like most Wilder plays was interesting because of its examples of its author's dramatic eccentricities: asides and solilo- quies that sometimes stopped the show. Finale of the restaurant episode was this song and dance tabove.J Finale of the play lbelowl took place in the New York home of Miss Van Huysen. where all the threads came together. 107 AS DID SKY'S THE LIMIT Another example of the work that goes into a dramatic production was shown in the Senior Play, The Sky's the Limit, written by former student and faculty member, Norman Philbrick. and presented for the first time on the Holmes hall stage. Top left, Mr. Philbrick. who made a special trip to Claremont to revise the play, talks it over with prospective members of the cast. Roberta Light, domineering grandmother, is head of family portrait pictured top center. Confused lovers, portrayed by Hal Melone and Martha Palmer are antagonized by Dean Craig, top right. Minute parts were transformed into riotous hits by moving-men Paul Fussell and Bob Mayne in the tea scene lower left. The entire cast waits in horrified silence in the last picture while Tabitha Vaile threatens the death of Romola Deane fRoberta Light, Martha Palmer.l 'Hun A X Y NL7 e ' 'f 5 .K 4 H1 '4 .1- 1 - A fi K by '- w. ,ty .

Here we see them added together in the per- formance of the Haydn cello concerto with Axel Simonsen. soloist. Note all eyes turned on conductor Fiske. To this fact is attributed. much of the fine quality work evidenced in performance. Mr. Simonsen. featured artist of this February 22nd concert, has been instructor in cello here for five years, is a former member of the Los Angeles philharmonic orchestra. Our own orchestra numbers some fifty members, all musically inclined. Yet this group comprised only about one sixth the total music department enrollment. We pause here to say more clearly something we have only hinted at elsewhere in this story of the work that goes on here. Basically, whether journalism, athletics, dramatics or music, it is entered into because the people who do it like it. We have gone into it so extensively. though, because we think that much of the extra work is largely a contribution to Pomona, a link between the school and each person here, who strengthens his ties with it and gets more out of it for having contributed to it in work. , gg, -qw ' v'1,n.1.. , '.': -1255 A ' I uf .fg-231511, ' , -1- , 1 Q K, 3 ' fy , qu L I X .

E ' S, , I LRE ALL A LOT OF WORK Exhaustive as this section has been in its attempt to show the work that goes on here, it has NOT included everyone's interest. For, obviously, everyone is not interested in work. There are many who are satisfied with the minimum of work, going through a daily routine oi classes, meals, shows and sleep, and loving it. But everyone enters into the fun that's possible here. Athletes, musicians, scholars, dramatists, journalists and D students must all agree that Pomona is a heck of a lot ot fun, and that they all manage to get their share of GOOD TIMES. EVERYBCDY HAD A SWELI y ff, Rooters went as far as Fullerton by bus, where Prexy Freeman almost missed the train and the trip he backed. This picture shows the two rnaior pursuits on the He- gira: singing and poker. Most did one or the other. An example of the fun that can be had by a close- knit student body like Pomona's is this football iaunt. It took a little wire-pulling and more than a little dispensing of apathy to get the Hegira rolling this year-the other two trips had been for afternoon games and this one was at night, etc.-but Student Life editor Bob Walter, president Dave Freeman and rally chairman Bill Kingsley talked it up. and made a bargain with the faculty: the students could have their trip if they promised to be in their classes the next morning. The students promised they would. the faculty kept its bargain. the Santa Fe whipped up a train. and Pomona had its third Hegira. The Santa Fe hauled the rooters in a half dozen busses to Fullerton. where they boarded the special for San Diego. The party was well under way be- fore the train had pulled out. and many were tired before they got there. but they yelled just the same. The gang was restless and kept the aisles crowded like this as they walked from car to car to keep from going to sleep. -' .052 N N'X..1,:i'g ix. 1' .arf ml H 'Db J My .1 4 f- .ffif 9 ' fx H! eq 'QTEK A 131 ..

There is a turnover every two or three minutes, as students drop into the Coop for coke or a poker game, then suddenly leave iust before class. We had a hunch after watching that hour at the counter that the Coop is big business. but we didn't realize just how big until we talked to manager Ed Sprotte about it one night. On the average day. he rays, about four dozen late riser breakfasts C4 dozen doughnuts, 3M gallons or- ange iuicel 500 cokes and 1600 cigarettes go over his counter. The favorite cigar- ettes: Phillip Morris and Lucky Strikes: gum: Den- tvne: coke: lime: records: Take the A Train and Dor- sey's Blue Skies. At the homecoming dance Sprotte put out 5 cakes a minute. His curse: Guys who order hot chocolate just five min- utes before the closing time. 131 THEY SPEND SEVERAL NIGHT' A priceless asset of the as- sociated students is their spacious ballroom in the Student Union. where they gather in all their finery several times a year to forget work and individual good times. for an evening of fun to- gether. dancing and list- ening to some of the best music available: I-llvino Rey. Muzzy Marcellino, Rudolph Friml Ir.. Syl Van and Sterling Young. all of whom give out with a good evening of fun, frolic and relaxation. The ballroom is used right off the bat when new and old students get together in the first week of school. A date bureau sees to it that all freshmen have dates, and Fuzz Merritt sees to it that they all get a chance to mix up and get acquainted with almost everyone else. As can be seen from this picture. the college night informal is a gay affair. and does much to break down in- hibitions and shyness. and to get people knowing each other from the start. Highlight of the ROTC formal on Ianuary 27 was the decora- Alvino Rey and the four King sisters kept most of the crowd tion of the newly-announced battalion officers by their dates. at the AMS formal packed like this around the band stand IELAXING IN THE BALLROCIVI Everyone, from Adams to Zuniga, has a good time at Pomona. Midway between the beach and snow as it is, with a lot of miscellaneous places in-between, Claremont, quiet and neg- ative itself, is within easy reach of a good week-end or a good drop-of-the-hat evening doing almost anything that has ever been invented in the way of amusement. On pages 124 and 125 is a pictorial catalogue of some of the favorite spots: The Coop court is used infrequently, but occasionally Coop manager Ed Sprotte pushes the Wurlitzer outside. piles a bunch of nickels on top, and hopes it will sell extra cokes. The ballroom fsee pictures on this pagel is used a half dozen times a year, is usually packed with relaxation-seekers. The Mish, of course, fsee page 1431 is almost per- petually going, has a special place with many Pomonans as the place to go when in the first stages of a romance. For, unlike a dance or show, the Mish can take as long as you like, from a five-minute coke to a whole evening in the Passion Pit, if things seem to be coming along well. For a couple or three months a year, the snow gets the crowds on week-ends, with Fuzz Merritt promoting iaunts whenever he can get away from a basketball game. But if a Snow Day is promoted. everyone is almost sure to go to the beach, which has probably a greater hold on pleasure-loving Sagehens than any other rendezvous. The movies are old standbys, where Pomonans go on dull nights, when there isn't anything else doing-which isn't infre- quent, even at Pomona. On the bottom of page 125 is illustrated one location for good times that many overlook-their own room. The picture is of the lively freshman suite, C3, where Hal Me- lone and friends are holding an open house of their own on a concert night-a preview of the party they gave on Clark open house night, that was to win them first prize. ln the midst of all their work, then-and they DO work-Po- mona students know how to have a good time. l For those who can't exactly relax in the ballroom, the Student After intermission, back into the ballroom again for another hour Union lounge at intermission is a welcome relief. It is of dancing, then to the Mish or somewhere for a miclmght snack. now that the Coop has its big rush, puts out cokes fast. This shows picture lovers maneuvering at the sophomore formal. f A NIGHT IN THE FRATERNITY .,, H4 S2tnfFx'Q . , ., x 141:3'ar-Y ,I .'m:v--.rx .

They fed the elephants hay, smelled out the closed seal cage to be sure the posters weren't lying. and even looked up a circus character with whom they talked for an hour or so, picking up lingo and learning the insides of the show they were to enjoy even more that afternoon and evening lsome oi them werg twicel. For in the show they could spot men the'y'd watched pulling ropes that morning. even behind clown makeup. And the man they had talked to turned out to be the ringmaster of the only eques- trian seal act in the business. They took in the side- show. and stayed for the after-show, where the star clown entertained two of them. Barbara Bentley and Alice Peters, personally. They had a swell time. THE CCNCERT AND THE MISI Typical concert-goer Iohn Adams invited Suzy Joy to dinner in Frary before the second Los Angeles philharmonic concert. Few Pomonans fail, at some time or another. to take advantage of one sort of good time that, amazingly enough, costs them nothing. Several times a year major concert artists appear in big Bridges, thanks to the patron- age of many southern California music lovers. with whom the students rub elbows. For many, the local concerts are their first exper- ience with great music and great artists, and, though some of them get their thrill out of the glitter and spectacle of concert night, many soon take the concerts not so much as an ex- cuse for a date and a chance to dress up. as a precious opportunity to round out a liberal education, fill in blind spots. By the time they're seniors. many have become self-styled experts on the Los Angeles philharmonic. which appears annually, compare Ander- son. Traubel and Flagstad like veterans. To pass the hour before the concert, Iohn and Suzy 1omed friends in Adams fraternity room. Afterwards, in their seats, the couple studied the program, reviewed what Suzy had learned about it that week in Music Appreciation. 142 , Q. ff, '- ,Jr I J - ' 2 f X ?

N1-:AT WE THINK POMONA IS Other things that stand out in looking at Pomona are the amount of ice cream consumed: and childish but spirited orange and water fights that break out to let off steam after the exams. and a loyal but far from maud- lin alumni that has achieved fame, distinction in many fields: a healthy athletic spirit that keeps athletics in its place, enables us to laugh off losses. And it's a lot of other things: the peace of the quad at sunset that Dave Freeman pointed out, and the punch to Torchbearers. 'Every page of this book has been the result of thinking of something, big or little, which would help answer the question, What is Pomona? There was the campus, the result of years of building and planning-a campus that looks a little like a country club sometimes in the daytime, that is full of atmosphere at night. There was the faculty, which shows up at students' functions and has as good a time as they do. There was all that work-in classrooms, on the football field and on the stage and in the orchestra-work that was hard and tiring, but that made Pomona mean much more for having done it. And there were all those good times, the San Diego trip with the Dean going to sleep, and all the Kingsley rallies and dances in the ballroom and in the barn, and nights at the Mish and at basketball games and concerts. There were those days in the snow or at the beach, sometimes within two days of each other, and the open houses and Russell Brothers Circus, and-and-well, that's about all. That includes iust about everything we can think of about Pomona. OUR STORY IS FINISHEII But after all this journalistic definition of Pomona, there remains another- that of 155 seniors, who are leaving Pomona after four years packed with its tradition, work and good times. Standing as they are on the brink of a transition between Pomona and the world of jobs, and families to raise, and wars to fight, the place has probably reached a crescendoing climax in many of their minds. What the more articulate of these 155 seniors have to say, then, should help to answer our question, too. n Rf DEBORAH ABBOT ANN ADAMS HOWARD ADKINSON NORMA ANDERSON BETSY ARMSTRONG We came to Pomona in September of the year 1938. That was the month that Algiers was intro- ducing a sensational new star to the public named Hedy Lamarr .... On the Bonneville salt flats of Utah. two Englishmen named Iohn Cobb and George Eyston were taking turns breaking the world's speed record. a battle which ended when Eyston's Thunderbolt collapsed as he tried to better his own mark of 375.5 miles per hour. Hank Greenberg was shooting at Babe Ruth's home-run record. and the Yanks and the Cubs fought it out in the World Series, which the N. Y. club won in four games.

While Artie Shaw's classic Begin the Beguine and Larry Clinton's Deep Purple with Bea Wain singing were competing for iuke box nickels, something of interest was also happening in Europe. 147 On the same Saturday that freshmen men of the class of '42 headed for their retreat in San Dimas Canyon, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was at Buckingham Palace urging King George to meet Adolf Hitler's demands for the cession of Sudetenland. Sunday, while members of as-yet-unchristened Cyclopes were playing touch football. listening to that year's Ghosts explain Pomona. and planning their frosh proclamation.

But our iour years at Pomona have been something apart for us, something which assumes a unity and a meaning in our lives unsuspected in September, 1938. More than any other one thing. Pomona is a memory in the minds of those who have left it .... In our minds it is Kerensky, Millay, Curie, Roosevelt, and Sandburg. It is Heiietz, Anderson, Menuhin. Tibbett, and Walter. It is Iudgment Day, You Can't Take It With You, Family Portrait, and Merchant of Yonkers.

PM-r'7FL'iSS -1 ' WAR DISRUPTED POMCNA LIVES There's nothing particularly significant about the way in which the war hit Pomona. lt came, as it had come everywhere else, like a rainstorm-booming over the campus one morning and upsetting plans. On the next page we show some of the things that took place after December 7: First of all, of course, there was the special assembly in Holmes, called by President Lyon to enable faculty experts to tell the students all they knew about what might be expected of them. A committee already set up under Norman Ness to help them with their draft prob- lems doubled its pace. And other organizations were set up. A defense council coordinated the students and faculty in such matters as blackout wardens, blood donations, and war stamp sales. Dr. Coltrin worked harder than ever with his first aid classes, which the faculty and house mothers attended. The women did their part by entertaining sol- diers in the Pomona camp, and by attending USO dances. Most important of all contributions, though. was that made by the 28 men who had to leave for service with the Army, Navy or Marines. The war was hardest for them to take. and for that reason. we belatedly dedicate this 1942 METATE to them: to Iohn Iaqua Crightl. lim Boyden and Barney Anderson. with the Naval Air Corps: instructor Iohn Kemble, Naval Reserve officer called to active duty labovel: Al Smith, Ned Herzstam.

When history instructor Iohn Kemble left for active duty with the Navy, in which he is a reserve officer, President Lyon, head of the history department at Colgate before he came here, and an historical writer, added to his heavy administrative schedule by taking over Kemble's classes. A'. When Chief of Staff several years ago, General Douglas Mac!-lrthur wrote in the foreword to the ROTC basic manual: Attendance at an institution of higher learning obviously evidences a student's desire for advanced training in preparation for future problems, whether his chosen field be that of art, industry. one of the professions, or special govern- mental service. The one future obligation that all students inescapably have in com- mon and for which special training is mandatory is that of assuring the protection. against predatory attack, of the nation to which they belong. -We think that in its efficient and spirited tackling of the war Pomona has iustified that criterion for its existence. In this book we have tried to show what we think Pomona is, by summing up and cata- loguing its component parts: its campus, and its students and faculty, and the work they do and the good times they have. We have said that because of some really inspiring faculty members, and an inspiring group of fellow students-if people would only bother to hunt them out-and because of an ideal setting, close to snow and sea, wealth and poverty, industry and art, students at Pomona have all the elements they need to study the world, and to work out a good philosophy of life before they really have to start living in earnest. This year they have had to face life in earnest a little earlier than has the usual generation. To make matters worse, the life they face is grimmer than usual. We think, though, that Pomona, as we have outlined it, has proved its mettle, and that it has proved the real worth in times like these of a liberal arts college that has more to give than tests and grades. As for whether the students themselves have justified it all, we can't say. If, for instance, though, those 155 seniors, haven't been able to synthesize a philosophy of the good life out of four years at Pomona, with everything in its place: work, athletics, good times-if they haven't taken advantage of the faculty here: if they don't know at least one instructor well enough to know his own philosophy, and to take 166 -1 it for what it is worth. it is not because they haven't had the chance. They could have learned much about lite, probably. almost anywhere. Our point is that we think they could not very well have missed it if they had consciously or unconsciously worked and played Pomona for every- thing it had. But that is all a personal thing. It depends on what each one of us thinks Pomona has to oifer.We've said what WE think about it. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
