BY NECESSITY, SENIORS STUD- led with greater diligence and interest. Some seniors had carefully annotated notebooks and portfolios to recall their four years of classes. Some had noth- ing but stuffed wastebaskets. A few books were still clean and neat, but most were heavily underlined with red pencil and sadly dog-eared.

Students hoped to reconsider college policy as de- lineated in the college bulletin, to modify procedure in disciplinary cases, and to be accepted as respon- sible for their own actions. Execut ive council members White, Bellcnap, Wright, Dallas, Hart, Jack Bradford, Jane Bradford Uiieman. ' ■• •. : M . ° WEDNESDAY NIGHT, THE SEVENTEEN MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE ♦ c1V i J , ° ' ' ' student problems, compared notes about their own organizations, tried to settle differences of opmion with good humor and intelligence. Jack Bradford patiently kept meetings under control, and established a feeling of responsibility early enough to permeate the whole council. The council tried to reflect the best of student opinionT and It took deterniined action to insure the autonomy of student government. Their decisions represented the most feasible compromises available to the members. The heterogeneous nature of the student body was reflected in the council. Working with a complex of peo- ple, influences, and ideas, the representatives tried to promote measures lenient and comprehensive enough to utilize individualism within the college. As the year went on, the council lost much in its partisan feeling, and was enabled to meet with the C.L.C. as a unified group. Few realized what powers the council had, what they were trying to ac- complish It v as usually berated by the uninitiated for lack of concrete action. However, two or three hours of every Monday were given up to tedious discussions of student ap- propriations, assemblies, college chest, lack of enthusiasm among athletic department I THIS YEAR, EVIDENT ENTHUSIASM AMONG COUNCIL MEMBERS WAS sincere. Reform attempted by the Religious Committee under Saralei Morgan, Ed Diteman, and faculty advisor Cunningim, manifested itself in the organiza- tion of Pomona College Christian Association. The majority of students remarked vaguely about increased chapel attendance. Although meetings were open to all student body members, complaints on student policy registered themselves in letters to the Student Life. Mrs. Throne.

JACK BRADFORD PUT IN A YEAR of hard work as ASPC president, Harwood ' s ice cream man, track star, and Nu Aiph. in Sumner, at thie Coop, on Alumni Field, he built up a record of conscientious efficiency, achievement, and good will. All his under- takings were characterized by conviction in the ability of students to look after them- selves. Quiet and unassuming. Jack coordi- nated all student activities with a minimum of superfluous effort. On Thursdays, Bradford introduced assembly speakers. Phi Bete, Marge Belknap, used the AWS station wagon •for Halona trips. Mai Edwards, AMS President. MARGE BELKNAP AND MAL EDWARDS HEADED THE AWS AND AMS through two semesters, two formals. Women ' s Day, AMS carnival, an mformal, two assemblies. Marge polished off four years of campus service with a neatly executed year as women ' s boss. She delegated responsibility wisely, guided the AWS in its charitable and social activities. Cheerful, friendly, patient, she survived zoology labs, committee meetings, conferences, with equanimity, an uncanny feeling for justice. Mai played football, agitated for athletic revision, ?hrew discii for the track team, kept council members in a state of hysteria with his terse comments on reaction and inefficiency. He plugged reform, enthusi- asm, helped separate AMS duties. As representative of men and women stu- dents at Pomona, Marge and Mai lent their time, energy, and personality to widely diversified activities, grounded their jobs in common sense, tempered them with humor.

Together, Mary Alice Bradford, were good at it. ON THE SEVENTEENTH OF FEBRUARY, THE ENTIRE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MET WITH the College Life Committee to revise the duties of both groups. A bombshell exploded. Students quietly demanded representation on College Life Committee, a chance to accept responsibility. Although they requested only two representatives on the C.L.C., the faculty granted four. This step, taken by the members of the council in behalf of the student body, was an honest attempt to re-evaluate the place of authority within the college. The move- ment to consolidate student and faculty thinking about student organization and conduct was crystallized at the end of the first semester. Jack Bradford, Marge Belknap, Edme Renouf, and Mai Edwards were the first students to vote on the C.L.C. The entire under- taking was characterized by eager and conscientious leadership of student body officers, inept interest on the part of the students, and by sceptical kindness in the faculty. By sensitive thinking, students can assume control over their college actions.

THE AMS BOARD PULLED ITSELF TOGETHER FOR ITS FORMAL, CARNIVAL, and men ' s stag, occasionally lapsed into obscurity. Under the newly formulated College Life Committee plan of responsibility, the AMS took over cases of initial misdemeanor. Men students at Pomona are not given to a formal organization like that of the AWS. Socially, athletically, academically, their independence is difficult to confine v ithin the limits of committees and a chain of dependent or- ganizations. This year ' s board limited its efforts to a few spectacular events, succeeded in October and May. The well-manicured hand of the AWS touched many phases of a Pomona woman ' s life, especially a Frosh woman. The sponsor system was designed to make college practices familiar to new students. This year, sponsors were chosen almost entirely from the senior class. Closs separa- tion in different dorm itories necessarily cut down the amount of close contact between Frosh women and their sponsors. Topics for sponsor meetings ranged from men to study techniques, activities were suggested, advice given. Other AWS traditions included the Frosh retreat at Halona, the AWS cabin at Idyllwild, maintained for the use of any group of students. A. M.S. Board: Treasurer Cob Schouweiler, Secretary the A. M.S. carnival. Bob Graff, and Vice-President Eldon Schafer planned Jean Barton and sponsor group: Riffen- borough, sponsor Barton, Wood, Elliott, Baber, tHarnagel, Johnson, Libsensart. . . THROUGH THESE SERVICES, THE MAINTENANCE OF A VOCATIONAL Bureau, and the station wagon, any woman student could utilize the AWS. Held every Tuesday in Mudd Browsing Room, Residence Council, headed by Evelyn Downer, served as Punitive Board for late-hour miscreants, in an attempt to lessen restrictions of the women ' s cloistered existence. Residence Council this year granted more automatic late permits for Coop Dances, plays and concerts. Bell, Bradford, Koch, Aldrich, Payne, Pres. Downer, Hansen and Wintip were vitally concerned with Residence Council meetings. AW.S. Executive Board: Sec. J. Belknap, Treas. Poe, Pres. M. Bel- knap, Vice-Pres. McCormick. Other members: Morgan, Downer, Stewart, Birkel, Reeves, Woolsey, Runyan, Daniels, Barrlck, Devalon, Qulnby. IN NOVEMBER, THE GHOSTS SPONSORED A RALLY IN THE VILLAGE THEATRE TO SWELL the scoreboard fund. They earned two hundred dollars and the disgust of ten Frosh women. In September, and after, they helped line up Frosh men in the accepted pattern. Membership for the year was filled by ante, per, and post bellum Pomona upperclassmen, chosen for service and leadership. First semester President Al Hastings and second semester President Frank Hart led discussions of the place and need of Ghosts in Pomona, joined with Mortar Board to make a poll of student opinion on admissions, athletic policy, and scholarship.

MORTAR BOARD MEMBERS SPENT A GRACIOUS YEAR. EIGHT WOMEN CHOSEN by popular vote were headed by Julia Birkel. Annual events included teas for Freshmen and Junior v omen, and the fashion show-bridge tea, given to raise money for chanty. As members of the National Organization, the local Mortar Boa rd chapter is dedicated to prevent hazing and maintain women ' s standards. Their projects are not limited to Po- mona, as are the Ghosts ' , but are flavored with national policy. This year. Mortar Board endeavored to supply all organization officers with standard material on parliamentary procedure in an effort to make meetings more efficient. Other plans were less specific, larger in scope. Designed primarily as a women ' s honorary organization, membership was based upon service to the school, limited by grade points. President E. Wilson Lyon, Dean oi Women Jessie Gibson, and Dean of Students William Nicholl. STANDING BETWEEN THE COLLEGE AND THE OUTSIDE, POMONA ' S AD- ministration weathered a year of criticism. During the war, classes and dormi- tories ran on a shoestring of personnel and funds. With the inauguration of a building campaign, a program to expand the faculty and curriculum offerings, as well as the newly planned course requirements and comprehensives. President Lyon began to reconvert the college into a post-war business. The results of this work will not manifest themselves with this graduating class, but within the next five years, the wisdom of new policies will be tried severely. The deans continued in their traditional roles of student advisers, spent uncounted hours as committee chairmen, reading admission blanks, writing letters of recommendation for grad- uate school and jobs. They backed student initiative in the revised College Life Committee, encouraged projects, modified some proposals with their accumulated experience. liALL ' MISS GIBSON WAS FAVORITE HOSTESS AT TEAS, HEADED WEST COAST DEANS OF Women.

Gu+hrey Darr, Music Majoi |or WITH THE INCREASED EMPHASIS UPON CURRICULUM, STUDENTS TENDED TO BE- come more serious-minded. They formed cliques centered about their educational pursuits rather than social groups. Over-crowded conditions forced some people into acquaintance- ships merely because they found themselves located together. Adding to the confusion, students returning from the services completely destroyed the usual class and age dis- tinctions. The college itself definitely was in accord with the stress on academic work As a result of this social breakdown, and concentration on classes, all outside activities, whether recreational or creative, suffered to some extent. Sports, Drama Productions, and concerts were pervaded with an evasive feeling of guilt, as though nothing was quite so important as studying. ■iivi ; wiv SSJ V I ; Hj 1 3 1 B il Pon Col ege Lib rary I ALWAYS NECESSARY, USUALLY HATED, STUDYING REMAINED AN INEVITABLE part of college life. Location and subject matter seemed to correspond: the philosophy of Descartes was absorbed on the quad, dormitory rooms were the scene of feverish eleventh-hour short stories. However, the library remained the most popular and practi- cal for any sort of concentration. On September evenings the basement Periodical room was crammed with the eager, the dateless, the heat-sufferers. Gradually, with the com- ing of cold weather, there was a general exodus to the main study rooms. Tables were always filled and late-comers populated the second floor. Jule Born and Don Woolsey studied on libe steps Franklin Martin and John Walsh occupied the Art room THOSE WHO WERE SERIOUSLY inclined toward study preferred the isolated stacks to the more social com- munal tables, innumerable doodlings on the tin lamp shades attested to the undivided attention given their books by these lonely ones. With the re- moval of its over-stuffed chair, the Art room lost much of its appeal; footsteps caused the mezzanine to squeak con- stantly, much to the annoyance of those studying belov . Top: The llbe steps were con- venient for procrastinators. Bottom: Ten o ' clock rush at the loan desk was handled by Marian Pendrall and Fran St. Clair. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS and three-decimal system was utterly baffling to students. The porch and front steps were filled with smokers and procrastinators. Those inside cursed softly at the laughter that drifted in through the windows, and eventually gave up in order to add to it. Patient librarians Ewing and Love looked up special-reserve books, sur- prised everyone by remaining calm and unruffled even during impossible demands. : fa ' ■■m.i Top: Day-dreaming was indulged in at all hours.

Mr. and Mrs. Kreps, laeser — Economics Golay — Government Top; Holland — Psychology Bottom: Dllley — Military THE ADDITION OF NEW MEMBERS TO THE FACULTY IS AN ARDUOUS TASK. IF THE process is long and involved, the results ore satisfying. Vacancies left each year by resig- nations, retirements, and leaves of absences, as v ell as the additional appointments needed to fulfill the new curriculum requirements, throw a large burden of work upon President Lyon. He spends many months visiting eastern colleges and universities, con- ferring with department heads, and inquiring at placement offices. After the initial selec- tions have been completed, a process of refinement begins. The proposed appointees cire discussed at meetings of the Administration Committee, considered by the Cabinet, which includes all the full professors of the college, and finally approved by the Board of Trustees.

At the Presi- dent ' s reception, the new-comers sip tea, are introduced to the faculties of the four colleges, and the towns-people. First official gathering of the year is the meeting of the entire Pomona faculty on the last Saturday before the opening of college. Just as each year brings new classes, each year brings new professors. This year, with swollen attendance and a peacetime basis, the col- lege has added eighteen members to its faculty. Some have returned from military service, some were entirely unacc ainted with Pomona. Those who had never had any actual contact with Pomona until this year were somewhat baffled at first, caught on in a few weeks, and became established and accepted as permanent by the students.

Some of the students that Joseph Angel! and Charles Holmes (not pictured) had labored with in Frosh English classes were now upper- classmen, even graduate students, working on their thesii, novels. Greatest problem for all professors, new or old, was to find someplace to live. Those with families found it especially difficult; drives from Claremont to Pasadena or Los Angeles grew longer as the year progressed. Top left: McCarthy and ZoologY students Lewis and Blackketter Top right: Ryerson — Zoology Bottom left: Muir — Botany Bottonn right: Meyer — History ..... POMONA WAS UNFORTUNATE this year to lose two of its best-known professors. The death of Homer E. Rob- bins, professor of classical history and language, mayor of Claremont, and mem- ber of the faculty for 31 years, saddened his many friends and colleagues. Doctor Robbins was a quiet and conscientious man, with an elderly sense of humor which permeated even his deeply serious love for the classics. Although forcefully active in the aims and concepts of the col- lege program. Dr. Robbins was extremely generous with his time. He would never fail to drop his occupations to discuss a student ' s personal or academic problems. Frank W. Pitman, professor of history who served at Pomona since 1924, re- tired in January. He will be fondly re- membered by generations of students for his fatherly admonitions, devotion to Heloise and Abelard, and attempts to get the students out of their mental bassi- nets. A white haired Reuben ' s cupid. Dr. Pitman tiptoed, wore small hats, was never without his pipe. Top: Homer E. Robbins Bottom: Franli W. Pitman and Dr. ColtrJn THE POSITION OF DEAN Sanders as Director of Admis- sions was unique. His outloolc de- termined the type of student to enter and make up Pomona. Em- phasis was placed entirely on scholastic ability, and an ex- tremely limited number of ap- plications were accepted each semester due to obvious condi- tions. Miss Maple, Registrar, solved completely unsolvable unit requirement problems; vet- erans presented the confusion of military credits. Changed pro- grams remained a bottleneck. To determine distribution among classes it was necessary to regis- ter for them the previous year. The time lapse caused variables in programs and students might vascillate from one course to an-  j j other until such time as their tardy appointment change arrived. Once the student was a«epted and properly registered, he was not exempt from those books that seem, at first glance, to be dull and tedious. For the Freshman, there was the required courses to stimulate latent and unsuspected interests in fields that appeared at the time to shoot far from has intended vocation. Those unde- cided in a profession or who desired general knowledge were benefited; others were annoyed. All entering students were given a placement test to determine their basic knowledge of English. Lynn Arden and Jean Arnet+e made maps for Western Civ. Dean Sanders and Peg Maple. Returned English prof Joseph Angell, labored over frosh mid-termi. ONLY THOSE WITH EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH scores were exempt from suffering through a didactic year of elementary grammar, composition and reading. The whole department was needed for this function. A year course was expected in a biological science and in a physical science as well as two courses in the social sciences. A year course in literature, art or music re- affirmed the college ' s belief in liberal arts and the whole schedule was tempered with a year course in philosophy or religion. Returning Pomona veterans found themselves entangled in many elementary courses, necessary for graduation but undesirable to more mature minds. This phase of curriculum was seem- ingly in contradiction to traditional liberal arts program. Mr. Beggs ' elementary Art class. UPPER DIVISION REQUIREMENTS were designed for specialized study in a selected field and pre-professional training. This policy was manifest in required voca- tional tests given by the psychology depart- ment. Previous to 1944, no student was re- quired to major; now he must pass a com- prehensive examination upon completion of his senior year. Also added was the Ameri- can History test required for graduation, in a program designed to provide both general education and specialized training, the stu- dent had less choice in determining his own courses. Complicated experiments were part ot Survey Physics course. Dr. Whitney held lab in the Greek Theatre. Dr. Benson ' s Botany class at Dalton Canyon ALTHOUGH A REQUIRED CLASS, BOTANY AFFORDED MORE THAN ONE CHANCE for the bizarre. Most notable was an enormous Spring expedition to Big Dalton Canyon. Class members and Dr. Benson scrambled up high banks in search of some sort of nebulous fern. Supposedly on the look-out for Poison Oak, most of the group discovered that they had been unwittingly frolicking about in it all afternoon. Biggest event of the dusty day was the catching of a long and lively gopher snake. QUIXOTIC CLASSES WERE USUALLY THE CHOICE OF THE REQUIREMENT-FREE STU- dent. Left to his own devices at last, after two, or maybe three requirement-filling years, he was apt to lose his head. The results were generally pleasing. The Math major may suddenly sprint toward Philosophy; a strict adherent to Holmes Hall and the English De- partment may covet a smattering of organic chemistry. Jaded psychologists of four years accepted a trip to Patton or Spadra as part of the usual routine, but to the budding organ- ist the affairs were awesome, somewhat unreal. Aside from the spectacular, unrequired classes had a fine aura of the romantic. As many of their subjects were foreign, or at least more complex, they required increased work, most of it satisfying. Girls studying Child Psychology spent hours at the Scripps Nursery School, making minute and astounding notes on the eccentricities and habits of three year old children. The Science Department dwelled upon rats instead of frogs or cats; in the Sociology Department, Race Relations took the place of Elementary Soci. Edie Joy experimented with rats in Zoology lab Scripps Art building Hank Ingerwersen in sculpture class THE TOMATO-SOUP WALLS OF THE SCRIPPS ART BUILDINGS WERE INCREASINGLY Invaded by Pomona students seeking instructions from a talented and reknowned faculty: painters Sheets and McFee, sculptor Stewart, and ceramists Ames and Manker. This youth- ful, personable faculty has gathered a large and enthusiastic personal following which proved irresistable to many Pomona students. The facilities were also an incentive, as were the progressive, relaxed teaching methods. Students freely advised Millard Sheets on his latest mural and discussed technique with the Mexican artists completing the fresco in the formal garden. Art-minded veterans could be found any afternoon chatting with exotically-dressed Scripps Art majors by the edge of the Seal Fountain. Students and faculty from all departments were drawn to the excellent series of exhibits in Rand Gallery, which featured works of the Scripps faculty as well as national figures.

Pi Gamma Chi played host to an auspicious Writer ' s Conference. This feat was engineered by English professor Frederick Mulhauser. The three day December gathering included talks by specialists in the fields of fiction, short story, jo-jrnalism and publishing. Panel discussions resulted in alternate desperation and elation on the part of students whose work was under consideration by the experts. James M. Cain and Mr. Mulhauser at dinner at Guasti ' s.

Still more informal was the extra-curr.cular Campus Forum, advised by Professor John Golay. The Forum, headed by D.ck Maxf.eld and a committee including Enid Hart, Barbara Dye, Mary Elms, Carol Ann Gilbert and Hugh Lovell, pre- sented Temi-weekly lecture-discussions on public questions. Featured outside speakers included Miss Izzedin of the Arab Office, and Mr. Aaron Heist of the American Civil tili Government department also cooperated v.ith student-organized Young Democrat and Young Republican groups, and the Pomona branch of World Federalists.

IN MAY, PRECEDENT WAS BROKEN BY THE COMBINATION OF BOTH THE MEN ' S and Women ' s Glee Clubs for the annual Home Concert. There were a large number of vocalists at Pomona; enough to fill two glee clubs and a hundred and fifty voice choir. The Men ' s Glee Club felt particularly good, going on its first spring tour in several years. Giving up vacation tans and beach weather, they journeyed to and from San Francisco, singing an average of three concerts a day. They wore blue V-necked sweaters for afternoon programs, changed into tuxes at night. President of the Glee Club, Guthr.e Darr, inaugurated a mixed Chapel Choir of selected voices remembered for their delicate rendition of Hindemith songs at the Shaw concert. Top: Johnny Elmore led the impromptu band. Left: Hot Jazz devotees were inspired by Fred Johnson. THERE WERE MANY MUSICIANS NOT UNDER THE WING OF THE DEPARTMENT. SOME of them attended the clandestine meetings of the Good Listener ' s Club of Bloisdell Base- ment, and listened raptly to two-beat and New Orleans Jazz. Organized by Fred Johnson and Larry Gray, the club gained in popularity and noise. The Pomona band, revived after the lean years of the war played for football, occasionally for basketball games, surpris- ingly turned up for the conference track meet. It was composed of a number of people who played with much enthusiasm and flashes of inspiration. The band was a large contribution to grandstand spirit. An important manifestation of these unofficial musicians this year was the student- faculty musical. Genie on the Spot. The musical comedy showed at least two first-rate popular talents among the students, and gave Doc Blanchard several eighty-hour work weeks. Most unofficial of the unofficial was the piano in the poolroom, which daily became more scarred with cigarette burns, daily was pounded with the same sort of repititlve booqie beat. THE POMONA COLLEGE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, LED BY KENNETH FISKE, HAD A successful fall season this year. Composed of about sixty students, the organization ' s Jan- uary concert in Little Bridges was attended by a capacity audience. The program featured two works by two Pomona College graduates: a Fantasy by Marshall Miller, and Andante for Oboe and Strings by George Adams. The week following the orchestra concert, a pro- gram of Mozart chamber music, excellently played, was presented. The second semester concert was cancelled due to depleted orchestra ranks and Mr. Fiske ' s departure on sabbatical leave. The rehearsals continued to be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with special emphasis on reading new music in an attempt to broaden the musical scope of the students. Gone was Mr. Fiske ' s humorous imitations of the feeling he tried to produce, the acting out of the roughness of cellos or pomposity of horns he wanted to hear. Still there were the off-key flutes, Harley Reifsnyder ' s thumping kettledrums during quiet passages, the squeaking of the drum keys, and intensive rehearsal of string bowing and tonguing of the oboes. Mr. Fiske ' s position was filled by Mr. Itte, former member of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Mr. Itte and the Pomona College Orchestra. lit I m V Mr Dayton ' s Music Appreciation class included Popenoe, Hinkley, Vadala, Wilson, Morgan, Siler, Robinson, McKenzie Hen- drickson, Remple, Stover, Robinson, Nelson, Chandler, and Hinrichs. EVERYBODY PRACTICES AT POMONA. OR SO IT SEEMS. FROM THREE organs, two dozen pianos, numberless fiddles, flutes and throats, came the sounds native to Little Bridges. Organ students gained advice from Doc Blanchard, v ith occasional help from visitors such as Marcel Dupre and Karl Weinrich. The latter, besides inspiration, gave a fev master lessons. But usually, for the organ student, it was the familiar round of Bach or Widor or Clokey. The listening room was peopled nearly every afternoon by sprawly disciples of Mr. Dayton ' s Music Appreciation class. Couches, the floor, over- stuffed chairs were conducive to sleep and enjoyment. Still another phase of Pomona ' s musical education was the student recitals on Monday night. FEW PEOPLE ACTUALLY attended student recitals at Little Bridges except the music faculty and friends of the performers. This was deplorable, particularly when oppor- tunities to hear such fine craftsman- ship as the dual-piano recital of Har- ley Reifsnyder and Mary Ayres were available. Perhaps attendance would be larger if more student works and orchestrations were given. Or if there were more Budapest String Quartets. ' ■' ■' ■' • ' .

Ticket line at Bridges seemed interminable. I Worden and date Martha Langdon flaunted conventions of Clark Open House. STUDENTS SAT IN LONG lines in the sun on the steps of Big Bridges, clutching their own season tickets, their neighbor ' s, their date ' s. People who had afternoon classes and no friends were invariably disappointed with twelfth row balcony seats. Before the concerts, during Clark Open House, couples sat in the men ' s rooms, lazily killing time. Coffee was usually served in the parlor of Harwood. On the way to Bridges, men stepped on their date ' s formals, avoiding maneu- vering cars. Parking attendants with small ineffectual red lan- terns looked out of place. Top: DeVos, Logan, Hamilton. Hill, Nourse, Sanford. Payne, Carpen+er, Page, Dickson. Bottom: Philharmonic cellist ennbarrassed at picture talcing because he did not have a front chair. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE came in formals, some tried to imi- tate the balcony-occupants of the Philharmonic Auditorium, some just didn ' t come. Those who did, did so to be seen, to listen and enjoy, or to criticize the wood-wind section. Backstage, solemn orchestra mem- bers straddled and tuned their cellos, violinists faced the wall, fingering difficult passages. Concerts them- selves were of varying degrees of excellence; personable Todd Duncan sang a strange mixture of operatic numbers and Negro spirituals; the Philharmonic showed what good musicians could do even with poor leadership; Mr. Pattison was excel- lent. 1 r . Ed Diteman cleaned the Coop every night at ten-thirty IT ' S NOT ALL FROM BOOKS. TO SPEAK OF AN ALL AROUND LIFE AT Pomona is hackneyed; to dispense with the phrase is impossible. Hundreds of campus activities afforded an acquaintance with divergent groups that would otherwise be impossible, but few were interested in participating. AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEMESTER, REGISTRATION LINES WERE filled with subscribers and non-subscribers to Metate, Sagehen-Criterion, drama season tickets. General criticism of these was rampant, necessary and unneces- sary. Only those entailed in each production realized the innumerable difficul- ties involved. Those who worked did so because of special talents and interests. Registration line was set up in the Coop office • • ' ■' ' - ' . . . B£T - •Wb ! W PUBLICATIONS SUFFERED THE AFTERMATH OF SEVERAL YEARS OF ORGANIZATION by personality. With the return of prewar students, the editors found themselves not leaders, but little sisters and brothers to the tradition of prewar great. The nightmare of deadlines was increased by a general lack of cooperation, a notable lack of interest in the Frosh class. The policies of the entire Publications Board were under fire throughout the year. Members of the Board hoped some good would result from criticism, inertia, and indifference. If work on publications can entice Freshmen with prospect of recogni- tion and celebrity, if the whole setup can be put in working order. Publications will re- sume its place in Pomona ' s sun. Jackie Wolfe sorted cuts for the Metate. Smith, Quinn, Bailey, Douglas, Thomas, Newton, Sholes. . . . . . STUDENT LIFE ' S EDITOR BRAD PARKER BECAME SYNONYMOUS WITH THE paper itself. Brad ' s epicurean methods of editing were better suited to a more leisurely year. The S. L. got caught in a draft of personal opinions, suffered from freshman lassitude. Always a bustling, last-minute proposition, S. L. lacked organizers and reporters to support Brad ' s sanguine and pertinent convictions about journalism, S. L., and Pomona. Highlights of its sixty issues were editorials plugging integrity of the in- dividual against high-handed authoritarianism, an agrandized sports page, facilitated by the resumption of a full time athletic program, Dody Geer ' s meti- culous and penetrating assembly reviews, thorough covering of ASPC council meetings, a sympathetic reporting of the Writer ' s Conference in December, large space devoted weekly to music and dramatic activities. Staff-members Gregory, Kelly, Farner; Graff, Stern, and Associate Editor Starr. Editor Brad Parker STUDENT LIFE MOVED OUT FROM under the tutelage of the English majors, suffered poor style as a consequence, made a wider appeal to other groups, heretofore disregarded. The quality of it as a newspaper was symptomatic of the Interests and diversions of the student body. No one publication could make specific appeal to such a heterogeneous group. By alternate concentration and dilution of focus and content, the paper pleased and displeased self-appointed commentators. THE CRITERION GREW FROM IN- fancy to adolescence during its second year of revival. Marge Cameron and Dick Quinn, editors, formulated an editorial policy out of the material available to them, attempted to present a provocative and artistic cross section of literary think- ing on campus. The magazine ' s unity was established at the expense of variety, but reflected fairly well the competent medi- ocrity of average college writing. Con- tributors were extremely representative of A and B creative writing students. As students shake war impressions and deifi- cation of established experimental writ- ers, their work may manifest more tech- nical originality. Praise should be given to the judicious taste and unprovincial attitude of the editors. Top: Criterion Editors Dick Quinn and Marge Cameron. Bottom: Obviously Sagchen editors Ed Allen and George Davie. THE SAGEHEN UNDERWENT shrinking pains. As the first magazine to break completely from the hierarchy of editors, it took a critical beating from two widely divergent groups, the New Yorker devotees and the comic strip readers. George Davie and Ed Allen stuck by a doomed ship with courageous whimsy. Their wholehearted enthusiasm delayed the eventual sinking of the Sagehen into a nostalgic, antedated tradition, more at home in the country club days than the diaper and dishpan regime of the veter- ans ' housing units. Edme Renouf, viva- cious chairman of the Publications Board and dilatory Directory editor, brought new life to board meetings, attempted to unify all student publications, and con- nected the work of publications to campus activity in social fields. Top: Publications Chairman Edme Renouf. Middle: Criterion ' s deciding board was Simpson, Geer, Fussell, Beeks. Bottom: Sagehen Staff: Dye, Stearne, Frazier, Hall, Smith. Editors Pat Sides and Betty Harper PAT SIDES AND BETTY HARPER BROUGHT THEIR ANGELINA COLLABORATION TO BEAR ON the Metate. Into a stale vehicle, they infused enthusiasm and unorthodox candor. Artist Harper and writer Sides organized the book intuitively, although it was capable of absorbing only part of their innovations. The personality of this year ' s Metate is a strange mixture of personal evaluation and of accepted opinion about Pomona. Their coeditorship prevented a dominant individualism, cut down on outside help. Photography, copy, and make-up were planned, altered, and gathered up with blithe optimism, muttered prayers. Staft artists Glenna Finger and Willie Simpson. Photography for the Metate was handled by moustached Dallas Throne, students Bill Graham, Johnny Elmore, Jim Steere, John Woodruff, and Al Hastings. The cover was designed by Willie Simpson; photographic appointments were made by Jackie Wolfe. Engraving was done by the Los Angeles Engraving Company, and the book was printed and bound by The Progress-Bulletin in Pomona. Copy-writers Jorgensen, Fussell, Sanders, Lockhart, Bailey, Renouf, Lacey, Scott. METATE EDITORS HAVE ALWAYS STRUGGLED TO AVOID HACKNEYED COMMENT ABOUT campus practices. Harper-Sides introduced new sections in an attempt to give an accurate picture of the mood of the year, broke over traditional dividing lines, established unity by interest, v ere not determined by custom. Together they achieved a unique approach to the problem of summing up the year ' s activities. A Ittle self-conscious in its new form, the Metate remained the only evaluation of a year of party time, play time, study time, tried to describe and present the working elements of a liberal arts educational system. Business Manager Les Warden and advertising staff Gloria Nidette and Mary Finney. t ' t h AT SIX THIRTY THE CAST ASSEMBLED, HALF DRESSED, IN SMOCK AND ROBES, MEN bare-chested, for makeup. Those accustomed to the procedure applied pancake makeup themselves; those requiring more difficult faces clustered around Mr. Fromme. In Holmes, students unconscious of backstage activity shifted in their seats, looked over their pro- grams to spot friend ' s names. When the lights dimmed, conversation hushed, and pro- grams whispered in folded hands. Backstage, hurried tension increased. Stumbling in dim darkness among light fixtures, ropes, paint cans and stage crev , actors collected in the wings. Everyone wondered if it would be necessary to ad-lib, ate pickles to clear their throats. Some were apparently unconcerned. Others frowned and longed for curtain rise. On stage, property crews, in last minute rush, placed lit candles on mantles, reshifted chairs. The stage manager called one minute, light crew clicked the house lights and counted, in darkness they waited. WILLIE SIMPSON STYLED MAGNIFICENT SETS TO FIT EACH PLAY ' S PER- sonality. From his sketches, stage crew members tramped ancJ hammered in and out of Holmes Hall, barely finishing paint jobs in time for first night per- formance. Techniques varied from symbolism, stylization, to highly accurate representation and unique detail, such as 1903 boxing prints above the bar in TJme of Your Life. Sunday afternoon the flats v ere dismantled rapidly and stacked in angular layers against the wall. Weeks before any production, actors attempted to fathom the enigmatic mind of Mrs. Allen, but the choice of plays was always surprising. Changing spontaneous reading procedure in the second semester, Mrs. Allen asked students to prepare selected readings in advance. The cast started rehearsals immediately, shifting awkwardly into temporary blocking positions. Top: Willie Simpson. Right: Stagecrew Skinner, Dettner, McFadden, Smith, Craft, Oser, White. From any angle, stacked flats looked ludicrous. VIRGINIA PRINCEHOUSE ALLEN, HEAD of Drama Productions and director of Pomona ' s plays, has, with infinite patience and great sen- sitivity consistently managed to produce shows with a genuine aura of professionalism. Assisting Mrs. Allen was Bill Robertson, in charge of the technical side of Pomona ' s shows: the lights, sets and sound. Masquer ' s president Dick White and Bill Robinson Mrs. Allen MRS. ALLEN WORKED WITH THE actors, moulding characterizations, fixing stage pictures and establishing pace and punch. Bill worked with the stage crews, spent much time of a highly uninspirationai nature teaching the fundamentals of stage craft.

MASQUERS IS THE HONORARY DRAMATICS SOCIETY TO WHICH BOTH STAGE CREW AND actors may gain membership by completing a prescribed course of duty on Holmes stage. Masquers president this year was Dick White who spurred his apathetic organization by arranging for a series of speakers, trips to the Los Angeles Biltmore, discussion groups with other college dramatic clubs. With the addition of more adequate working space, such as a little theatre to replace Masquers cubby hole room, the group would have a better outlet for more active production. SETTING OFF THE YEAR ON main stage was The Late George Apley, adapted by Kaufman and Marquand from Marquand ' s novel. A small, experienced cast gave the play its necessary polish in delivery and warmth of characterization. Fortunately, the desire to play Kaufman ' s lines for all their broad humor was avoided, and the result was a production which was mutually satisfying to cast and audience. The play was in many respects, a completely natural depiction, not only of life in Boston, but at the same time, of life in our college community. For those who saw in Claremont a close approxi- mation of that background for the bet- ter way of life which formed the soul and substance of George Apley ' s world, the play seemed a completely realistic, moving entity. Lindsay Workman and Adele Arbogast Boston Matrons, Beers, Doiier, Aibogasf. Craft, Learned. George Apley cast Included: Workman, Arbogast, Driver, Beers, Shelton, Evans, Craft, White, Wilson, Detoy, Geer, Washburn, Dozier, and Learned. Workman and De+oy discussed Emerson. LINDSAY WORKMAN AND ADELE ARBOGAST, AS MR. AND MRS. Apley were outstandingly successful in establishing the pace and tone of Boston in 1912. Donn Driver managed the bibulous Roger with great charm and cleverness; Hattie Beers ' Amelia was every inch an Apley. Most notable moments were daughter Jo White ' s tipsy scene; Marian Evans ' pathetic piano and vocal solo; Workman ' s discovery of Freud. During rehearsal, some trouble was experienced in trying to set the Boston accent of Beacon Street, but with the aid of several former Bos- ton residents on the faculty and in town, the job was accomplished.

Murder scene wMh McGowan, Driver, Barton, Squire and White. A SKILLFUL AND EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION OF A SOME- what diffuse play was accomplished by the cast of Mary of Scotland. Overlong and talky, the play Itself lacked sufficient sequence of powerful emotion to portray the lengthy explanations of the back- ground and nature of the characters. However, the Pomona cast skillfully carried the burden of Anderson ' s poetic style. Produced in December, the play starred Bonnie Barton who headed a cast of twenty-four, looked lovely, acted with aplomb as usual. Two new- comers to the stage, Marty McGowan as Elizabeth, and Kelly Seay as Both- well mastered difficult characteriza- tions. Donn Driver as Darnley was excellent in his portrayal of a weak, snivelling fop whose best scene was the murder of innocuous Rizzio. As were all the sets this year, the five- scene Mary of Scotland was de- signed by Bill Simpson. Combining the elegance and warmth of the court with the starkness of the final prison setting. Bill created a stylization of set that made the seven scene shifts smooth-running. In the nnake-up room were Detoy, Driver, Hebel, Madden and Cowles. t m SAROYAN WAS A BIT TOO COMPLEX for the cast of The Time of Your Life, as yet they were not quite of a mind to realize that life is, after all, a simple and rather beautiful thing. The lack of vulgarity in the tone of the whole per- formance cast a somewhat false light on the peo- ple; life on the Embarcadero prohibits a sweet character. The quality above all else that was lacking was one of understanding of these peo- ple. With understanding, the Kittys, Joes, and Harrys would no longer seem caricatures but liv- ing human beings. in undertaking their ambi- tious venture. Drama Productions gave new life to the theatre at Pomona. In an exceedingly difficult play, the leads Lindsay Workman, Jo Rich White and Nate Schafer created one of the most satisfactory working groups of the year. Their characterizations were warm and full, cre- ating a framework into which the other twenty minor-important characters fit intrinsically. The last play of the year G. B. S.

Cavorting Freshmen Zinnmernnan, Rugg, KIncaid, Springmeyer, Hoyle, Henzel, Eipolt, Sore. Juniors Cathy Livingston, Jack Robinson and Susan Connor, made the most of a night-club scene. BOTH THE FRESHMAN AND JUNIOR CLASSES BROUGHT CONSIDERABLE LIFE TO THE otherwise sporadically attended assemblies. The Perils of Pericles, frosh extravaganza, exhi- bited a calendar theme which joined twelve acts ranging from a comedy violin duet to the clever songs of Esther Bell and Marty McGowan. Quartets, jazz groups and novelty acts also contributed to this pre-Christmas show. Jane Bradford, Enid Hart, and Bill Graham provided assembly-goers with a diverting half-hour in November when they staged the Junior talent show in Holmes, in the form of a sociological tour of American entertainment spots. Phoenix featured the torch singing of Susan Connor, a burlesque routine by Adele Arbogast and Norman Gould, in addition to a hectic finale. Lab Theatre, under the guidance of this year ' s co-chairmen. Jack Feeney and Bill Simpson, again provided drama aspirants with an outlet for experimenta- tion or rudimentary experience. Performances were given in cluttered Masquer ' s room with lighting, the suggestion of make-up, and other dramatic props. Organized as a club, the group presented their readings without the necessity of the usual royalty payments. Directors Simpson and Feeney presented their comedy Box and Cox in assembly and before club groups in the valley area. In spite of first semester aspirations, a dirth of volunteer directing and acting tal- ent left gaps in Lab ' s schedule. Drama Productions branched into radio when a student group headed by Lindsay Workman and Charles Detoy took to the air in January with a ninety minute dramatic broadcast of Shakspeare ' s King Lear. Other dramatic broadcasts followed which were heard both in town and locally. By spring, both instrumental and vocal talent were broad- casting from local stations with varying degrees of proficiency. Top: Managers Pat Carpenter, Joan Payne Middle: Fountain-worker Jean Fleming Bottom: Graduate Manager ' s secretary Spelk and student assistant Rjlh Cochran. Betty THE COOP, SYMBOL OF student-managed organizations, of- fered daily service to the throngs of hungry and thirsty. Dishes piled up, workers burned themselves on the new coffee urn, slipped on the floor- boards. Irritation was inevitable. Despite the rush and crowds of peo- ple, Joan Payne and Patsy Carpenter remained blithe, weathered the obvi- ous criticism. Many innovations char- acterized their management: fresh orange juice daily, a resurrected juke box, cleaner equipment, Dixie cups, additional workers. MRS. THRONE WAS AMAZING; her financial mind was appreciated by any student who wanted requisition slips or who turned in money from dance bids. People v aited in the office at almost all times to interrupt her with unaccountable details. Even more important to students than her sincere interest in themselves was her own personality. She ate hamburgers and po- tato chips in the Coop at noon, painted clouds on the blue kitchen ceiling in her new house. Hine and Fetzer waited on by store worker Adkinson. MRS. T. WAITED AT STRANGE hours for moustached Mr. Throne who sat semi-permanently over coffee. Student Ruth Cochran and graduate Betty Speik la- bored diligently at the sort of job one works at in an office. Jim Overin, head of Coop store, was awakened nights and early mornings in his room over the lounge by Coop and publications workers wanting keys. Jim Overin and omniscient Graduate Manager Mrs. T. TO THE HUNGRY, EAGER FOR THEIR MEALS, THE students who worked in the dining halls seemed un- important. But without them it would have been im- possible to have the friendly, casual meal serving that IS taken for granted. Mrs. McCarthy and Mrs. Kennedy were dismayed at the haphazard way the student help attacked their work, but would have had the situation no other way. Dining hall work meant pin money for independent students and the increase in pay inaugur- ated this year was a welcome innovation. Collins, Nunan, Sprague, Herzbrun, Curwen, Hilton, Chamberlain, Riddle, Pulliam, Hannil+on. TRIPS TO HARPER HALL were rewarded by fatter pay envel- opes. Because of the short hours, students looked on their jobs as something to be enjoyed even though clothing was penetrated by cafeteria smells of minced ham sandwiches, chop suey, slippery trays. Frary again employed only male students, prob- ably welcome after the invasion of women servers during the war. George Davie and Stu Cox happily scraped besmeared plates. Harwood food was always surprising. All kinds of activity took place in the Harwood kitchen. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE WOMEN FELT SOME- what differently about the increase of men-waiters. No longer was Frary partially theirs. Puttering pro- fessional workers laid out dessert dishes in neat rows, fastidiously wiped up spilled milk. The dishwashers were fast and precise, amused by student help. Daily contact with these people lessened the tediousness of daily routine. Bob Wood, Trebor . Circulation Manager Bob Baird. ASIDE FROM THE ESTABLISHED CAMPUS JOBS, VARIOUS INCIDENTAL ACTIVITIES strove to take the student ' s mind from his academic pursuits. The Coop and dining halls were often laden with posters announcing coming events. Dances, college and commun- ity drives, and the arousal of public opinion were the usual object of this tempera propa- ganda. Across the patio, in the Student Life Office, was carried on one of the most thankless, dull positions in the Publications system. Bob Baird, Student Life circulation manager, spent hours over the Mustang Mailer, sending papers to impatient subscribers; delivering issues to the dining halls, and academic offices. The girls occupied their date- less evenings with remunerative service to the community in the form of baby-sitting. Professors and wives, even students and wives were glad for a night away from their noisy reminders of domesticity; the girls were glad for a theoretical chance to study. Frosty winter nights brought out the calloused group of students who signed with local ranchers for smudging service. They ran through the orchards at top speed, lighting heaters faster than the thermometer could drop. an COLD, SLEEPY, SOOT-COVERED smudgers preserved economically import- ant orange groves but returned to school weary eyed. Local business establis hments employed a few intrepid souls. The labora- tories of the science quadrangle presented long, meticulous hours of work to those seri- ously interested. Almost all academic de- partments employed outstanding students for the arduous task of grading papers. Art classes used student models . . . sufficiently clothed. Capitalizing on special skills were those who typed others ' term papers, re- paired radios, made scenic campus Christ- mas Cards. Virginia Quinby raised her psych, average by taking care of the Hinshaw child. z I mm d % m ' - 1. H s y — 1 ' -1 % M y : -L ' ' ' .J J t £ Smudgers McKenna, Block, Owens, Douglass, St. Clair. WHETHER HAPPINESS IS JUST A THING CALLED JOE OR REQUIRES A MORE complex medium of realization, its pursuit occupies as much of our time as we can allow. Some become ecstatic over the fragrant effluvia of test-tubes. An- other group emerges light-headed after a perusal of Chauser. A few would rather delve into the complex variable than eat. But most of us, being less diligent animals, attain greatest pleasure and momentary happiness through sheer, relaxing play. Organized events, informal groups, and individual hedonistic activities all attract various people at various times.

STRAINS OF POPULAR MUSIC FLOATING over Claremont on most Wednesday nights drew couples from the campus to the Coop dances. Recorded music was furnished by George Hay- den of the red hats; and the weatherman was good enough to allow dancing in the open patio on a majority of these terpsichorean occasions. Workers in the Publications Office stared glumly at the happy people, lit another cigarette, had another cup of coffee. Dance or not, a determined group of anti-social men could always be found playing pool in the fragrant atmosphere of the Men ' s Lounge. HEATED AND FEVERISH WERE THE elaborate preparations, male and otherwise, for the formal dances, said to be the one time Pomona men aren ' t in levis. Men fussed and hurried through dressing, assumed nonchal- ance about the whole affair. More concrete evidence of excitement was exhibited in the women ' s dorm: crumpled black net skirts on wooden hangers over curtain rods, doors; forced relaxation from six to nine; disap- pointing gardenia corsages; steamy clean faces; girls bustling through rooms to borrow gold chokers and black gloves. Top: Ward, Poe, Kirby, McKeniie, Daniels, MacLean. Do+tom: Peg Raysor and Mary Spaulding. CLAREMONT AND POMONA FLORISTS WERE DELUGED BY ORDERS AND changes. Streams of well dressed and thus uncomfortable young men streamed to the doors of various women residences and lost themselves among male companions. Three hundred couples nudged, collided, shuffled over the floor. People were dismayed at fast numbers, enjoyed blue lights and slow swing. For the first time in two years, service uniforms were completely unseen. Re- turning to a normal social schedule, girls found dates easier to obtain and men more numerous. Various organizations planned and executed the formals. Planned by Mai Edwards, Bob Schouweiler, and Bob Graff, the A.M.S. started off the year. Second formal was under the auspices of the A.W.S. with Lois Knight in charge. Clyde Herr and Bobbie Miller headed the tremendous efforts on the Junior Prom. Speck and Livingston utilized Smiley facilities. Junior prom decorators Clyde Herr and Bobbie Miller paddled in the patio.  ' .$ THE TRI-COLLEGE DANCE, PO- mona, Oxy, Cal-Tech, held at Santa Anita Turf Club, was a welcome change of dance environment. Exhausted from jumpy sambas, couples watched Desi Arnez per- form over red and white striped drums, over straw hats, over mumbled micro- phone songs. Noisy cai-cai numbers forced romanticists to dance on terrace steps and listen to the more orthodox music of Don Ricardo. Cokes were sold beneath pasteboard stars hung on totali- zators and chairs took the place of race crowds before the Parimutual windows. The Junior Prom Foreground faces at Cdrisfmas formal: Sides, Strona, Collins, Hough, Brown Inter EXPENDITURES FOR A NEWLY PAINTED ballroom were high, but band expenses were still narrowly limited in spite of increased enrollment and union wages. Any desired amount to be spent over three hundred and fifty dollars was not con- trolled by student organizations, but referred to the C.L.C. Unable to decorate in the interior of the ballroom, students used ingenious methods on the Coop patio, came forth with spectacular helium balloons, gold cardboard and floating angel-hair clouds. The patio was flooded for the Junior Prom; proving a hazard for the unwary. To supplement college organized Saturday events, students still looked for a record player, and a room for infor- mal week night dancing.

Open seven days a week, the fountain purveyed tens of thousands of doughnuts and coffees each semester, in addition to an occasional Bromo, and now and then, a coke. It was a hardy student who limited his Coop appearances to one per day. The ping-pong table in the Coop patio served to divert cast-off footballers, while the escaping balls tripped English majors on their way to Holmes Hall. A good day found four people playing the game and forty wait- ing their turns nearby. The usual fountain crowd THE STEPS LEADING TO THE PATIO PROVIDED A RESTING place for weary students during the morning hours. Discussions ranging from current admissions policy to the number of epiphanies in Portrait of the Artist were carried on until noon, when the con- versation shifted to more earthy subjects, chief among them the origin of the strange odor emanating from the left side of the fountain. inside, salons were held in the blue-leather booths; bridge was not as popular this year; conversation was more in- tense. Whether they come for ping-pong, coffee, coke, or just to be seen, Pomonans continue to c rowd the Coop fountain at all hours of the day. THE IRREVERENT ATTITUDE CAUSED BY PRECARIOUSLY JUGGLING LOADED PLATES on knees and spilling coffee on good clothes was soon dispelled by a glowing atmosphere of cheer and beauty at last December ' s Christmas supper. The appeal of Christmas carols was heightened by the beautiful renditions which Prof. Lyman ' s black robed, white collared choirs presented. A huge Christmas tree in the northwest corner of Frary gleamed with lights and silvery tinsel, filling the cold hall with personal warmth and a nostalgic Christ- mas tree aroma. Red candles, surrounded by evergreen boughs and pine cones, fluttered and guttered on the long ledges which top the oak panels of Frary. Murmuring voices, singing voices, red and green reflected from polished oak, smell of perfume and coffee and trees, warm flickering dimness. Women ' s Day, another tradition, came in the Spring; but production of the May Masque was no longer a part of it. Due to its omission much of the spectacle was lost. It was replaced this year by orchesis members who danced on the quad for the entertainment of Queen Mim Cross, her court and guests. Participation by women students was no longer universal as in previous years, however; spring after- noon warmth, green grass, fresh starched skirts, will remain as long as the tradition does.

SOME CAUGHT UP ON homework, some caught up on sleep. Almost ever one procrastinated, for, on Sundays, every- one went his own way. Women wearing hats and gloves waited for waffles at Norwood before going to church, while others stood by awkwardly in ill-concealed pajamas. There were those who didn ' t make the breakfast deadline and strolled down to the Harvard or Winnie ' s. Coffee pots steamed in several rooms in Clark, as friends lingered over Nescafe while leisurely scanning the funnies. On Sundays everyone went his way; some preferring a couple of sets of tennis or a dip in the pool to Peter Potter and the NBC Sym- phony, some taking off for Laguna, some for Baldy. Graves, Quire, RiHenburg, Bulkley, Elliott indulged in coffee and cigarettes after Sunday breakfast. Frosh Jo Gilberg preferred the stable to church. ON SUNDAYS SOME people liked to soak up the sun on the athletic field, a few sat in front of sunlamps. In the Student Life office. Brad fiddled with the radio, Finney typed, and Bailey tried to hit the Letters to the Editor box with a cigarette butt. Everyone went his own way, maybe to a show, may- be on a date. Nothing mat- tered very much, though, be- cause Sunday is Sunday. Bridge was popular any day of the week. Claire Cook and Don Woolsey. Picnics were a Sunday activity for RInnpel, Belknap, Ward, Bell, and Strohecker. RAINY DAYS . . . DISTRACTION . . STIMULATION. THUNDER SHOWERS TOOK people by surprise, and girls crowded under porticos with sweaters and note books held over their collapsing coiffures, poised for the dash through the downpour. Between classes halls were gritty, steamy, and noisy. There was standing room only at the Coop, with shiny-faced, wet-haired people clamoring for coffee. Rain gave way to snow anti- cipated in the mountains; cars cruised around sporting ski-racks, and dates went to Ver- non ' s and the Ice House. The black rubber boots and fisherman ' s hats of coeds flicked across the vivid greens of wet grass, and men appeared in substantial remnants of the Army and Navy. Professors put on their rubbers. Rainy weather was invigorating; every- body hurried and walked a little harder than usual. Rain made Frary Court one large mud-puddle. Rainy weather brought out strange clothes. AT NIGHT THE REFLECTIONS from the library lights echoed in the wet street and headlights of cars illuminated the frenzy of falling rain that pricked the shining pavement. Night rains came and went, left mornings with steam crawling along the street, polished the eucalyptus trees, and rinsed the orange trees. Jean Dickson, Nadine Dutcher, and Nora Brink caroused in the puddles. mMat. Shafer, Seer, Cameron, Robinson, Thiroux were served tacos by Lupe. REGARDLESS OF CLASS, THE CALL OF THE OPEN ROAD, IN OUR CASE, HIGH- way 66, was the perennial lure. Front seat, back seat, bicycle, foot; the establish- ments on Foothill did a thriving business. Nickles disappeared in juke boxes and pinbali machines. Nine o ' clock classes were upset by the fragrant ghost of last night ' s garlic bread. Tacos, hamburgers, steaks, and all of the good things that go with them contributed greatly toward our enjoyment. GIRLS SPLASHED IN THE FLOODED PATIO BEFORE DANCE DECORATION HOURS, COUPLES roasted wienies and apples in the Greek Theatre or walked down Dartmouth Avenue in the fall. They played ping pong in Harwood rec hall; ambitiously rode bicycles to Johnson ' s pastures; thumbed through prints of French impressionist painters and listened to King Cole records at Hebert ' s. They stretched under sycamore trees when the quad was green. Some drove to the miniature golf course where the highway turns off for Claremont. People amused themselves.

THE LOOP-O-PLANE, WORLD ' S MOST EXCIT- ing Ride was one of the major attractions at the carni- val again this year. From forty different concessions goldtoothed hawkers and cheery women held out base- balls, darts and guns to both the wary and impulsive students. As usual. Craft ' s Greater Shows boasted a side show, free circus and miniature burlesque with Art poses, to entice it ' s audience. The results of a night spent tramping about the renovated vacant lot were empty pockets, plaster-of-paris kewpie dolls. For the athleti- cally inclined, the W.A.A. sponsored an All-College Play day in October which was won by the Juniors. Profes- sors and students cavorted happily around ping-pong tables, organized enormous volley-ball teams. Crowded volley-ball games at the W.A.A. Playday. ir t ' Little Finger reverted to childhood.

Red faced and sandy, people trickled back in the evenings; satisfied after a lazy day with the sun and waves and bridge games; tired after conten- tion with the large dogs and small children and apple cores.

Started in 1895, the Oxy Rivalry is the oldest annual football game on the coast. A healthy part of campus life, Pomona athletics have been neglected. Cheerleaders Jeii Ayres, Bob Wood, Pat Carpenter Libe Rally rooters were led by Pat Carpenter RALLIES, ALWAYS AN INTEGRAL part of the football season, made a game effort to live up to their gusty traditions. The chairman, George Davie, zestfully organized the Pajamarino rally on the Library steps, the Torch parade, the Oxy rally and bonfire spec- tacle, and the hectic Oxy caravan. These Po- mona traditions sometimes were successful, sometimes not; for, unfortunately, there seemed to be a shortage of spirit in campus, the sort of enthusiasm that is conveyed from the stands to the playing field and reflected by sore throats on Saturday night. Although yell leaders Patsy Carpenter, Jeff Ayres, and Bob Wood created nev routines, and six Jun- ior women produced a fight song, the spirit was not a thing which increased during the year, it remained a spasmodic, unpredictable element in the year ' s athletics.

IN THE SEASON ' S OPENING GAME AGAINST SAN DIEGO STATE IN BALBOA STA- dium, the Sagehen football squad lost, 34-0, to a powerful Aztec team. Opposing Mt. Son Antonio JC the next week, the Hens lost again, 20-6. In Los Angeles, in a game notable for Pomona ' s spirit, the heavily favored Lions of Loyola were hard pressed to win, 13-0. The Blue and White team lost to Whittier, 18-6, and to a high-geared Pepperdine team, 19-6, before gaining some measure of satisfaction by tying Redlands, the eventual champions, 6-6. The Sagehens finally came into their own by defeating Caltech, 32-14, as they scored on the opening play and turned the game into a highly satisfactory rout. The season concluded with the 0-0 game at Oxy, and a third in the conference with a record of one win, one loss, and two ties. Pomona ' s junior varsity grid men, coached by Al Smith, beat La Verne, 18-6, and Whittier, 18-0, while bowing to Redlands, 13-0, and to Oxy, 18-0. Mertz piles up against Whittier.

THE MEN OF THE SOPHOMORE AND FRESHMAN CLASSES ENTERTAINED THE HOME- coming crowd in the halftime period with a murderous pushball game. Although neither team practiced before the game, both squads showed a definite mastery of the fine points involved. Locke Barrett especially displayed extraordinary skill in technical maneuvers.

WITH EARL MERRITT AS head coach, the varsity football squad started on an ambitious schedule. Beginning ineffectively v ith a series of injured star play- ers, the team tightened up in later games. The line, in particular, per- formed exceptionally well. Malan, Seay, Van Fleet, Edwards, Kirby, Schafer, Steere and Chandler pro- vided Pomona with the best for- ward wall in the conference. Carry- ing the brunt of the backfield duties were Ray Folks, all-Conference quarterback, Jaqua, Mertz, Shoji, McColl, Murphy, and Vedder. At times there seemed to be a premium on intelligent football, with correspondingly embarrassing results. On other occasions, the team displayed the driving, spir- ited type of work that is generally expected by Pomona ' s alumni.

Fuzz ' spe- cial bockfield for muddy playing consisted of Seay, Chandler, Morelock, McColl, and Hendricks. However, a rain soaked field and a determined Tiger team combined to hold Pomona to a scoreless tie. In Pomona territory the Tigers captured the ball on the 20 yard line and worked it to the 8 before the Sagehens stopped the advance. It was Pomona ' s turn to threaten in the second quarter, with one of the few passing attacks of the day. A long one from Art Krause to Mai Edwards moved the ball from the Sagehen 40 to the Tiger 26. Kobe Shoji veered off tackle to the 11, and Keltey Seay fought his way to the 4. Yell Leader Ayres floundered In the mud at Oxy.

A PENALTY SET THEM BACK TO THE 20, BUT THE POMONANS ADVANCED TO THE 4 on a pass from Larry Mertz to Ray Folks. Then, the Tigers eliminated Pomona ' s scoring hopes by intercepting a pass and running the ball to the Blue and White 24. Jack Vedder finally pulled the runner down. Oxy worked up the final crisis of the game in the last period when they reached the Sagehen 25 before losing possession of the ball. Daniels, Balch, and Shaffer. AFTER WINNING TWO OPENING practice games, Pomona lost to Whittier, 58-38. However, they won the rest of the practice tilts, and beat Caltech, 47-33 in their only conference triumph. The season finished with eight wins and seven defeats. Fans and spectators alike had expected a winning season, and the outcome was more than a shock to Interested Pomonans. THE BASKETBALL SEASON, AL- ways as unpredictable as it is exciting, started with high hopes and a general feel- ing of enthusiasm among coach, team, and rooters. Fuzz Merritt and his varsity worked diligently in preparation for the conference campaign, showed well in practice games, and then took up an uncomfortable position in the conference cellar with a record of seven losses and one victory. Brown, and Graas. TO THE SPECTATORS IN THE STANDS, BASKETBALL WAS MORE THAN JUST A GAME. IT WAS an occasion. The wooden bleachers were always so crowded, it was hard to climb up through the masses of people. The gym resounded and seemed to shake with the accumulation of noises within it. A small observer group shouted moose ; in another section interest was centered on someone in the top row who was trying unsuccessfully to recover a coat on the floor far below him. At tense moments during the game, referees suffered astounding abuse. Miniature megaphones amplified student approval or disapproval. There was empathetic tenseness when a Pomona player tried for a free throw. Half-time was always welcome, for it meant a chance to move from the hard, splint- ery benches out onto the porch. Cigarettes were irritating to parched throats, but the night air was cool. Varsity Basketball Award Winners: Brown, Daniels, Graas, Liddle, Olsen, Robinson, Baughman, Smeltzer, Farner, Schafer, Hartley, Balch, Barksdale pleased these victorious spectators. wS Top: Brown, Olson, Graas, Smel+zer.

OXY RALLIED IN THE SECOND HALF OF ITS GAME, 54-47; CALTECH WON the second game against the Sagehens, 40-38; and then Whittier walked away from the Pomona team, 77-55. The last games were close: Redlands, 60-63 and 51-54, and a final defeat on the home court by Oxy, 57-37. Locke Olson, 6 ft. 5 in. center for the Sagehens, took the spotlight as the conference ' s leading scorer and unanimous choice for all-conference honors. Carl Graas was awarded honorable mention. THE POMONA JUNIOR VARSITY CAGERS WERE A BIT MORE SUCCESSFUL IN CON- ference competition than the varsity. They concluded a 15 game schedule with 10 wins and 5 losses, including a league record of four games won and four lost. They divided winnings in two games each with Oxy and Redlands, defeated Caltech twice, and lost a pair of hard-fought matches to Whittier.

FROM ITS EARLY SPRING START, POMONA ' S track team was a source of considerable pride to those fans who dote on spectacular successful teams. Under Coach Bob Strehle, the track men brought a sparkle to Alumni Field and established an optimistic foundation for future athletic endeavor. After a practice win from Santa Barbara, the Sagehens began their conference program by defeating Caltech, 86-45, Redlands 67V2- 63V-2, and Whittier, 90-41, in preparation for the im- portant meet with Oxy. The Tigers and Pomonans both entered the competition with clean slates, and with the championship a reward to the victor. The meet was a thriller from start to finish with the lead changing hands after almost every event, but in the final tallying, Oxy proved to be the winner by the nar- rowest of margins, 66V3-64V3. Outstanding indivi- dual performer was Jack Riddle. Top: Pole vaulter Lapp Bottom: Beginning the 100 yard dash Varsity track letternnen: Bradford.

Jack Riddle, one of the Po- mona ' s mainstays, suffered from a cold and was unable to make the winning column. Mai Edwards, Dick Utman, and Ken Lundie could only manage thirds in the discus, jav- elin, and broad jump, as their marks were overshadowed by other slightly better per- formances. Bob Teagle and Orcut Jenness won the shot-put and 100. Teagle ' s put of 46.9% makes him holder of the new Po- mona record in that event. Pete Welsh and Dick Olhausen received second place medals for their efforts in the lows and two mile.

Here at Pomona this was sadly true. Missing the constant thrills found at football and basketball games, the spectator finds it necessary to have a knowledge of the rules and fine points of play to thoroughly enjoy a baseball game. Under the leadership of cap- tain Baughman, and star Grant Brown, team members Mertz, Alberion, Kirby, Swanson, Damron, D. Collins, Robt. and Morris Newton, Schaefer, Seidlinger, and Foster, played spas- modic ball. At the first of the season, their win-lose scores almost averaged each other. Coach Beefy Heath had a group of serious baseball devotees and experts to work with, a small but interested team. Fans were loyal and vociferous in support, but very few in number. But with most of the Conference games yet to play after publication deadline, the remainder of the season was unpredict- able. Even with the addition of the newly- organized J. V. team, baseball in college re- mained a sport for the few. Damron at first. Kirby on mound. J. V.

Although the netmen finally lost the conference championship to Redlands in two very close matches, practice tests included decisive vic- tories over U.C.L.A., Chaffey, Riverside and Whit- tier. Bill Young, the captain and first singles man, teamed with Don Woolsey to play at the Ojai in- vitational tennis tournament along with Larry West and Chuck Mohler. The next seasons only team losses will be Bill Young and Max Morelock. MHi«Mi i«i6i fi«i.H «fe.WMI taHMHEiaiaE«.« Bill Young am: Coach Bradford, Larry West Young, Woolsey, West, McCloskey, Dangberg.

RESTING HEAVILY ON the performance of its free- style shimmers. Norm Kauf- man and John Jorgensen, the Pomona College swimming team, coached by Al Smith, had one of the most satisfactory seasons in recent years. Kauf- man set records in the 220 and 440 yard free-style and Jor- gensen set a new s chool mark in the 100 yard free-style swim. Both men teamed with Roy Person and Francis Barry to set a record in the four man, 400 yard relay. Breaststroker Steve Titus and backstroker Mike Conway were consistent winners, as were divers Dave Mac Comas and Johnny Elmore. Van Borst from the Undergrad school was representative in the medley relay. The season was vigor- ous, promising. kiikm .- _ . . fff . 4 Intercollegiate Regatta at Newport Bay. SAILING WAS ACTIVATED UNDER the guidance of Ray Person, President of the Pacific Coast Inter-collegiate Yacht Racing Association, and Phil Greene, captain of the Pomona team. The Sagehens participated in the Newport Harbor Regatta and in the Ala- mitos Bay competition. Plans were formu- lated for the procurement of a college owned boathouse but the possibility of accomplish- ment was doubtful. Many individual members will compete in the Honolulu race this sum- mer. Like the netmen, Pomona ' s golfers were consistently victorious. Under Captain Rick Lyon, the team enjoyed a spotless conference record, defeating Redlands and Whittier. Practice sessions included wins over Long Beach and Chaffey and a loss to UCLA. The season was climaxed by a trip north during spring vacation to compete with UC and Stan- ford. The good weather this season enabled longer practice hours and fewer changes in schedule; home meets were held at Red Hill Country Club, the nearest course to the col- lege. Due to photographic difficulties the team consisting of Lyon, Parker, Ivy, Rosi, Robinson, Ortlieb, and Wilson, is not pictured. Ed Re CLAIRE RUNYAN, THIS YEAR ' S W.A.A. president, headed a large cabinet of sports representatives An interesting feature of the organization was the Camp Counselor course at Halona during which a group of women retired to Idyllwild to study the rudi- mentaries of camp-craft and camper disci- pline. As to the sports themselves, the required flit, gymnastics and volley-ball classes were as filled as ever; while the established size of golf, riflery, and fencing groups made parti- cipation of large numbers prohibitive. Swim- ming classes helped water-logged young ladies comply with another California State Law. The usual complaint against compulsory elementary sports was again voiced. The need for athletics is obvious; however, to the par- ticipants, time spent pursuing rhythmics and team sports is not wholly desirable. Except for P. E. majors, and those interested in a spe- cial sport, the average woman student would rather spend her time with an activity of a more applicable nature than hockey or basketball. Top: W.A.A.

AT FIRST IT WAS NOISE AND DIRT AND THE removal of the Spanish house. Strange men squatted on the curb in front of a big vacant lot and ate their lunch out of tin lunch pails. After a while the piles of dirt disappeared and a foundation took its place. Then came summer vacation and everyone went away ex- cept the strange men who went on working. In Sep- tember, there was a big gray building on the vacant lot. There was an enticing scaffolding all over the walls and there weren ' t many doors on their hinges. A BIG PILE OF BRICK AND STRAY PIECES OF LUMBER WERE HAZARDS AT any time of day or night. A few people moved in under the scaffolding and hung curtains in an attempt to hide the bare white walls. A lot more people moved over to the Blaisdell browsing rooms and lived out of suitcases. There were beds and books and people all mixed up together. There were promises of a week, two more weeks to go. Then finally in November all the rooms at Mudd were finished and the place turned from a big gray building into a dorm. Nothing much had been done to the rooms.

Bottom: Ogier, Locke and Frisbee during confused first days. The courtyard was still barren with red brick paths and dirt. THERE WERE TWO PHONES, ONE UP, ONE DOWNSTAIRS. IT WAS VIRTUALLY impossible to coll anyone; the line was always busy. During the winter the walls were damp and wet, many girls caught colds, got stiff necks. Overworked maids found white tile floors and slab doors difficult to clean. Mice ran about the rooms until they were deprived of entrance by radiators and telephones. But then, as the months went by, civilization in the dorm became more apparent. The stairways were finished, and the halls were painted. Glass was in all the windows, and the doors hod locks. By spring the Blaisdell front door was changed into a window seat, the switchboard at Mudd-Blaisdeli became a modernistic hotel registration desk. Bright couches were moved into the living room and greens and yellow were everywhere. Three Degas, a Renoir, Chinese prints and flowered wall-paper appeared. Small, boxy date rooms were painted pink, English hunting prints hung in the reading room, in the hall the chandeliers were elegant but the drapes were big splashes of Mexican color. Outside the courtyard was still barren with red brick paths and dirt; newly planted camellia bushes looked desolate among stacked pipes and when the trees were removed, Baldy could be seen from the front hall windows.

TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE campus, in what had been brushfilled vacant lots, appeared rows of low, gray- painted wooden structures: Veterans ' Housing Units. Started in mid-summer, 1946, the units were not ready for occu- pancy by the start of the fall semester, so students and their wives and, in some cases, children, moved in anyway. The swish of paint brushes and the sound of hammers mingled with the clicking of student cerebrations for almost a month. Each of the living units, consisting of living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath, was an entity in itself, in which eating, studying and other activity took place. Some students of both the Graduate School and the Undergraduate School for men were also housed in the surplus Navy quarters. Concerned with rising grocery prices. Marine veteran Bill Kingsley, a student at the Graduate School, and his wife. Muff, organized a grocery and milk cooperative during the Spring semester, and through their in- genuity, residents in the housing unit saved considerable sums which were before spent for groceries at retail prices. Graduate student Dave Smith slumbered fitfully during Spanish classes in the Green Room. THE ARTISTS ' RETIRING ROOM IN BIG BRIDGES SERVED AS LIVING SPACE DURING the fall semester, and more than once students arose from bed, looking terrible, only to have to cut across the rear of a Spanish class which met in the same room. Graduate students and CUSM students were also housed in Bridges Auditorium, formerly restricted to musical performances only. Chairs, desks, and blackboards were moved into vacant spaces for Men ' s College classrooms. Undergraduate classes were held in Bridges. EVEN BRACKETT OBSERVATORY was used as quarters for two Pomona men. The time was past when a student could pick his single room in either Clark or Smiley. Some students, unable to obtain accom- modations in the expanded college halls, lived with private families in Claremont or neighboring communities. The campus was crowded with cars of students who lived as far away as Los Angeles and commuted daily, and every afternoon around four or five, students besieged the Claremont bus station for choice seats on the homeward bound P.E. bus. In 1947, Pomonans were having to worry months ahead of time for their accom- modations for the next term. Crowded liv- ing space, irregular meals, in many cases unhealthy conditions combined to add diffi- culty to the life of a post war Pomona student. Between classes Undergrad students relaxed on South Bridges. JL -.. Top: Wallach and Diehl lived in the small house east of the observatory.

HARWOOD WAS MUSTY AND CLOSE, THE ROOMS, BEDS WERE SMALL AND NARROW but the patio was green and cool. Blaisdell was spacious and comfortable though more quiet and formally dignified. Tucked away in forest isolation and new coats of white paint were the French and Spanish houses. Baldwin, Haddon, Dennison, outside houses, gave sophomore women more exclusive parlors, dessert and coffee before formats, fewer quiet hours. Univer- sal for all women ' s dorm occupants was the desire for sun. Luncheon hours they carried their trays onto the patio lawn, afternoon hours found supine sunworshippers sprawled and baby oiled on sun porches. Inexplicable to men was the time consumed by women among their own friends. White-slip clad they collapsed on pink spreads and chairs to smoke lazily and discuss dates, frats, lack of study time, sentimental records. On warm days. Harwood women ate lunch In the patio.

THE WOMEN FUSSED ABOUT LATE HOURS, about the noise, about seven o ' clock alarms. They stuffed themselves with bonbons at chocolate pass- ings and with Ritz crackers and raspberry jam at one o ' clock spreads. Their rooms were indicative of per- sonality; some had ruffly white feminine curtains while others had dark brown and chartreuse striped drapes. Some rooms were immaculately neat and well ordered, some were littered with clothes and cigarette butts. Sounds were very dormlike: type- writers, Shostakovitch ' s 1st symphony, high laughter, doors slamming, shouts and screams from the fresh- men. It was both relaxing and annoying. Scattered on the beds were remnants from childhood in the form of fuzzy pandas and grey and white elephants. Everybody had a bulletin board hung from the mould- ing on which to tack snapshots, forgotten donee bids and funny pictures. The radiators were in constant need of repair or removal, but the telephone stood apart as the most important object in a woman ' s room.

THE OPENING DAYS OF THE SCHOOL YEAR SAW AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF Ac- tivity about the men ' s dorms. In addition to the usual accessories the men brought to brighten their severe, monastic rooms, there were many war trophies and souvenirs. Besides weapons and swords on the walls, it was not unusual to see a Japanese print, Korean tapestry, or French engraving. German beer steins and Polynesian bowls adorned desks in numerous rooms. As the year progressed, corridors came to have unique fea- tures. Some sections specialized in peculiar types of bull session, while other units were branded as being infested with practical jokers. Familiar figures were Tom Box sunning himself in Navy G-string beneath the Sophomore Arch. . , . AND JOHN KNIGHT ABSORB- edly investigating tlie plant life of the Frary Fountain Algae.

Attempts to study on the Athletic Field were foiled by the sun. THE BRUSQUE, CHEERY VOICES OF PEARL OR MICKEY CRIED OUT, IT ' S LINEN DAY, THE day of joy, or You want your room Hoovered, boy? A day In a dorm was punctuated by meaningful sounds. Starting out with the slap of news- papers hitting the doorsteps, alarm clocks rudely sounding, and maids yelling, Come on, boy, time to make your bed, the sounds continued through the day. Car doors slamming constantly in the parking areas, and the hubbub about Frary doors before served dinners eventually gave way to the lonesome sound of doors shutting in empty corridors.

WITH WAR-TIME RESTRICTIONS A THING OF THE PAST, THE DINING ROOMS TURNED out meals on a near pre-war standard. Except for occasional runs of Swiss steak there was a laudable attempt at variety. But lack of space remained a problem. Both Harwood and Blaisdell dining rooms utilized every table for every meal. The served dinners that once were a six day a week feature of campus living, disappeared from south-campus until such time as the new Mudd-Blalsdell dining room would relieve the pressure. In Frary this aspect of gracious living was reduced to a two night a week event. At the first of the year women still dressed , theoretically, for dinner. However, this attempt was abandoned as impractical after a few months, and the girls gave up all pretence, shuffled casually into dinner attired in the most comfortable of school clothes. Happy Pomona men waited impatiently for their meals. ' Holmes Hall , Pomona College, Claremont, Cal. WHEN REGISTRATION DAY FOR OLD STUDENTS rolled around on the 25th of September, and the stu- dent body for the 1946-47 school year gathered, it soon became apparent that Pomona was destined to be, for everybody, a different place than it had been before. ..... POMONA IS A SCHOOL OF TRADi- tions. They breed, grow, flower and often decay here. To the sentimentalist, or grad- uate, tradition is a thing dear and sacred. To the prematurely jaded student it is something to be openly sneered at, pri- vately contemplated. But the precedent set by Harvard, New England colleges, has caused ivy to clamber over the library walls, faculty to parade solemnly at con- vocations. Admittedly, a school without some tinge of the past is barren and lacking in many of the good things that go to make a college. This year, many a tradition, known to every Pomonan, either weakenec) or disappeared. College was no longer a self-enclosed group unified by alma mater songs, ivy chapels and Ghost dances. Al- though freshmen were still required to wear bright green dinks , this mild in- dignity was met with opposition and re- sentment. A series of letters graced the pages of the Student Life for several weeks before the dink was finally reaccepted. Hazing between Frosh and Sophomore men permanently departed. Top left: Founders ' Day Convocation in Big Bridges. Middle: Freshmen continued to wear dinks Bottom: Pomona College Gymnasium The Greek Theatre FRESHMEN WALKED THROUGH THE SOPHOMORE ARCH, UNAWARE OF ITS SACRED PAST. The gymnasium, shaky wooden relic of World War I, an old tradition of the college, was the center of a storm of abuse. The results of this campaign will be the belated loss of Woodpecker Haven, the addition of a modern, well-equipped gymnasium. Also thrown into disuse, perhaps permanent, was the Greek Theatre, former scene of Masques, pageants, graduations. From widely diversified groups, students looked upon traditions in a completely dissimilar manner. Puzzled by the loss of unified spirit and the loss of a secure ivory castle, they were confused. Chamberlain, McCall, and Boldig, entering Harvard Grill. Bicycles replaced dances at the Passion Pit. ..... QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS ARISING FROM ENLARGED ENROLLMENT, A NEW higher age level and the disappearance of the tight-knit social unit that was Pomona before and during the war, faced student body, faculty and administration alike. The changes manifested themselves in many ways. Among the changes most noticeable to pre-war students returning after years of absence, was the disappearance of what had seemed one of the most solid and enduring customs of Pomonans — the evening trip to the Mish. The Mission Cafe was still there on First Street, but the crowds of collegians no longer gathered to engage in spirited discussions or spirited activities in the Passion Pit, and the group of faithfuls no longer paid homage (and nickels) to the pin-ball machine. There was no place where evening gatherings took place as before, but as a quick stop for something to eat the Harvard Grill became the col- lege hang-out. ANOTHER BIG DIFFERENCE, and an annoying one that was hard on both students and professors, was the enlargement of classes. Rooms that had been less than half filled with the eager, thoughtful and rev- erent in the old days, now were loaded to the very front, sometimes overflowing into the halls where sharp-eared students had to strain to keep up with the teacher ' s remarks, and write notes in almost total dark- ness. Courses that had been taught as small, informal seminars, were now divided into sections, each so large that it had to be taught as a lecture course. Many new groups were organized reflecting various student needs. The AVC ' s increasing their membership throughout the year, hoped for added power to look after veteran interest. Dr. Louis B. Wright ' s Thursday night American History Class. AVC ' s: Back: H. Kloti, Chandler, Sweeney, Williams, Dawson. Front: E. Klotz, Baird, Higbee, Beatty, Haas, Chairman Anderson, Douglas, Nail Wiealcley. New Freshmen carried clothes, trunks, boxes for incoming women. THE NEAREST THING TO NORMAL WAS THE FRESH- man class. The majority of frosh were the typical young high- school graduates coming to a strange new world called col- lege. They arrived at Clark Hall to find lonely rooms awaiting them or rooms containing room-mates, people they had never seen before. They had that same old lost, forlorn feeling that frosh have had since people began living at colleges, and they got over it the same way. They began getting acquainted and making friends. They went to the frosh retreat at Camp Bethel, met more new faces, and heard the talks welcoming them. Harwood rooms were bare and empty. Frosh Emily Gray inspected her room with bewilderment. ■eshman class president, Dick Gist ate hot dogs ith Tyler, Polley. Inglls, Blaisdell, and Kennedy. Sophomore class president, Dick Wright, Hal Robinson, and McComas, encourged skaters. Junior Class president, Enid Hart, blew myriad balloons. FROSH RETURNED FROM BETHEL TO ELECT DICK GIST THEIR PRESIDENT. THE OTHER CLASSES didn ' t share the same return toward normal. Junior president Enid Hart, and Sophomore president Dick Wright, found themselves leading mixed-up classes. Many students didn ' t know themselves where they belonged, how long they would be there, or when they might graduate. Granting of credit for military training or service made sudden changes in the already confused classes made up of people of greatly varying ages. An unusual number of students found themselves changing their status between semesters. The feeling of unity within, and loyalty to a particular class and participation in its activities was lost. Many returning veterans who had been freshmen in one year, returned to find their own class gone, and themselves members of a group that hadn ' t been at school when they were here before. For these reasons, returning students found Pomona a very different school. Those who were new since the beginning of the war heard much about this, but couldn ' t find out what the change really was, nobody could say exactly. Bethelites listened to introductory speeches. Hamburger; tilled Freshman stomachs. Intense sophonnores Snnith, Woodruff, Elmore, Dunn, Morse, Thompson, led class sweater spring BECAUSE OF THE VARYING AGES WITHIN EACH CLASS, ORGANIZED EVENTS WERE DIFFI- cult to arrange. However, activities attempted v ere successful. The Sophomores and Juniors respectively followed and broke tradition. Both classes held their sweater springs in the same month, same year. The Sophomore class proudly exhibited their green pullover; tardy Juniors were a little sheepish and produced theirs with a great show of bravado. Both springs were organized in the same manner: furtive looks, whispered telephone con- versations, final meeting at a house in Claremont. The Sophomores come forth with torches and a parade. After this display of underclass promptness the Juniors were somewhat dis- mayed, thought of highlighting graduation exercises with a surprise showing of their belated sweaters. However, later in the same month, an overwhelming mass of Junior women and a sprinkling of men invaded both dining halls, singing Spring Will Be A Little Late This Year. Presidents Enid Hart and Dick Wright smiled smugly at one another, members of both classes donned ther sweaters for Coop Dances for a few weeks, and finally relegated them to picnics and bicycle rides. CLASS OFFICERS DISCUSSED plans with social chairmen, announce- ments were posted in Frary and Har- wood, and members of the four classes grouped together to enjoy themselves. Freshmen happily smeared themselves with mustard and crumbs at a wiener roast on the baseball diamond. Scorched knuckles, stained knuckles, large grins and full stomachs gave concrete evidence of the good time. Sophomores held a skating party in the rink at Pomona, found themselves a little wobbly after a few years off the rollers. Several class members emerged with strawberry marks, bruises and contusions. Credit for the most original and probably the best event goes to the social Juniors, who gave a dinner-dance at luxurious Fuller Ranch, near Corona. Slot machines, danc- ing, a change of scenery and the country- club atmosphere provided them with entertainment. Speik, Thompson, Newion, Poe at Sophomore class skating party. Junior couples dined and danced at Fuller Rancho. Frosh Weinie Bake. Reconverted from the University Club, Story House was tuclced among eucalyptus trees. Inside, Undergrad students played hearts on the living room floor. IN MOST COLLEGES, TRAINING FOR BUSINESS ANDi government are too often rigidly separated, with resulting breaches between business administration and public admin- istration. Claremont Men ' s College, opened September 1946, specializes in courses designed to integrate the two factors by showing their inter-locking aspects. Program includes pre- legal training, public administration, foreign service, businessi administration and foreign trade. Left, Story House holds fifteen non-veteran Men ' s College students. The dining hall functions three tinnes a day, serves the entire college. SET BUCOLICALLY IN A TRACT OF LIVE OAKS, REJUVENATED STORY HOUSE AND the men in it remained somewhat isolated from Pomona College. In an attempt to unify the two colleges, Harwood Court gave a party for the Men ' s College students; Story House occupants sponsored several informal dances, the large Starlight Ball. The desire to form a group of affiliated colleges, much on the Oxford plan, is as yet for from realized. However, the result will be a university, but in the European sense only. IN THE HOUSING UNITS, MARRIED veterans and their wives and children took up a goldfish residence. Their presence spelled a vast difference from the halcyon days of pre-v ar normality , when mar- ried undergraduates were looked on by the rest of the student body with a certain awe. This new element of the college community, although sometimes seen in family groups here and there, lived mostly apart, a sepa- rate group of the college ' s society. Jo and Dick White took up residence in the housing units when he returned. They always in- tended to put more pictures on the walls, but they never got matted. They began decorating energetically enough; solemn consideration was given to the southern exposure; ceramic ash trays and bowls, products of their own handiwork, enlivened the tiny room, and a Chinese ink drawing was hung over the enamel stove. Their corner began as a replica, ended as some sort of home. Dick and Jo u+ilized the community Dendix, played chess on their living-room floor after dinner. They put up a bamboo screen to separate the tiny kitchen, held Korean parties, painted murals on their walls. THE CAMPUS CONTINGENT OF VETER- ans, which included ail the males save a few freshmen and debilitated upper-classmen, started out the year with considerable vinegar, but began to cool in their seif-consciousness during the second semester, and behave as stu- dents again. Even by the end of the semester, a few die-hards of the we wuz here and they wuz over there school still held forth in the Coop of an afternoon, but more people seemed to want to talk about the new picture at the village or the theory of price. Most of the veterans accepted with rather genial spirits their present odd position, particularly those crowding thirty, and made the most of what the campus and the highway had to offer. There were still a few American Legion Journals in the mail boxes each month, but by the end of the year, most of their readers kept the maga- zines in their envelopes until they got to their rooms.

Reactivated by the favorable vote of North campus students, many minority groups considered them an unnecessary and regressive measure. During the abbre- viated hell-week (end), prominent North campus figures roamed the Southern Cali- fornia area at all hours of day and night, wearing old clothes or burlap bags, bearing signs, placards, suitcases and umbrellas, leading goats and horses, and were accom- panied by the brothers, paddles in hands. Studies went by the board during the two periods of initiation, much to the displeas- ure of some faculty members and joy of most of the Greek letter participants. The hell periods were climaxed by formal initia- tion ceremonies in the individual fraternity rooms of Clark and Smiley halls, during which the new members learned fraternity lore and custom, and began their periods of active fraternity life at Pomona. Led the first semester by John Jaqua, Interfraternity Council president, the KD ' s set to work early in the year to refurnish their room, raise funds for fraternity activities (their Mount Baldy cabin had collapsed during the war), and replenish their ranks with athletes, married veterans and party boys. The KD ' s won the Inter-tong volleyball, ski and track championship; had powerful representation on the var- sity and junior varsity athletic teams, and boasted the finest collection of brass spittoons in the Pomona Valley area. Art Walker was elected second semester president, ending the year with a membership of thirty. The KD ' s looked back on the 1946-47 fraternity year with memories of dank evenings at the rock pile, serenading Dorsey Hall, and carrying suitcases and umbrellas east on Foothill Boulevard.

During evenings of food and enter- tainment, the fraternities tried to out-do one another in back-slap- ping and cigaret-lighting. Rushees, tattered and headachy after five days of parties, decided with all possible detachment, which frater- nity to join. The night before bid day saw actives, bags under their eyes, sneaking and politicking about the corridors of Clark and Smiley, making trades and last minute adjustments. Those choos- ing Kappa Theta, found its room in Smiley notable for its crowded con- dition. Numerically strong, their group was widely diversified but spirited. With Earl Wiley serving as president, KTE took second hon- ors in the inter-fraternity basket- ball competition, second semester. KTE pledges added color to event- ful hell week by the contribution of a horse to campus life, by ap- pearing in green eyeshades and enlivening South Campus with their activities.

STARTING THE FALL SEMESTER WITH A MEMBERSHIP OF TWO, THE MEN OF ALPHA GAM- ma, unpretentious, heterogeneous, bid enough men the second semester to build the organiza- tion practically up to pre-war level. They held their rush parties in the Clark Hall rooms instead of off-campus; their members had a monopoly on the Music Department; almost beat the Phi Delts in Interfraternity Basketball. Jim Cuzner was president both semesters, and supervised activities several times during the year in moving pianos into the room through Eversole court. The fraternity ' s Clark Hall room, one of the most attractive and tastefully decorated of the six, was used for weekly meetings, in addition to numerous Sunday night open-houses and parties.

Sawyer, Miles, Mclnnis LED BY JOHN JAQUA AND JIM TAMS, T 3E INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL, CONSISTING OF faculty advisors and the president of each tong, was a great help to co-ordination of fraternity affairs. Meeting frequently throughout the year, the Council was instrumental in re-establishing such vital pre-war functions as open houses, inter-frat athletic competition and the interfrater- ntty formal. The Sig Tau ' s succeeded in filling out their ranks early in the first semester, and settled down to a year of parties, dances, and group gatherings in the rooms. Well repre- sented on most athletic teams, as well as on publications and on the Holmes Hall stage, the Sig Tau ' s resumed their pre-war activities. Bill French presided over the fraternity ' s functions dur- ing the first semester, and was replaced upon his February graduation by Jim Burden. Char- acteristic of Sig Tau were fraternity beach parties, rug-covered initiates and Smiley dwellers. Top: Olsen, Root, Teagle, Lyon, Livingston, Burden, Block, Carpenter.

THE PHI DELTS, LED BY JIM TAMS, INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL PRESIDENT, RESUMED their activities with the same happy zest that characterized their pre-war functions. Their rock carrying pledges tramped the damp steets of Los Angeles county, bearing home lighted smudge pots in wheelbarrows and having unmentionables autographed by inhabitants of Blaisdell and Harwood. The Phi Delt room held longest poker contests recorded at the college, married mem- bers deserting wife and child to participate. Climax of the year was reached by Jim Holbrook ' s exhibition at the wrestling matches in Los Angeles. FRANK HART AND BILL YOUNG, BOTH PRE-WAR NAPPIES, HELD THE PRESIDENCY OF Nu Alpha Phi this year. The Nu Alph ' s were famous for keeping the neatest room in Clark Hall, and for their inspiration of roast suckling pig at the second semester mountain rush party. Con- servative, and humorous, they boasted the greatest number of student body officers. The only fraternity who either cared enough or had funds in the treasury to equip its basketball team with dyed undershirts, the Nu Alphs also carried on a year rich in social activity.

PEOPLE LIVED IN CLARK OR BLAISDELL OR HARWOOD OR SMILEY; WENT to classes in Holmes and Sumner and Rembrandt. People ate, labored, relaxed, and listened to lectures in the various buildings of the college campus. Without buildings, the Wash, the Quad, a few bushes, and great quantities of intellectual fervor v ould be all that existed of our institution. Some of our buildings are im- pressive and beautiful . . . like Blaisdell-Mudd, Clark, Big Bridges, the Coop. Some are old, strictly for utility, but made attractive by dignified age and fond asso- ciations. SOME OF OUR BUILDINGS SMELL OF PERFUME AND NEWLY VACUUMED rugs. Some of them smell of formaldehyde, some of fried food and cabbage, all of them have an aroma of their own. In some, the paint is peelin g off inside wails, some have faded to a dull gray, some have retained their bright ceramic color. Though diversified as to use and form the structures of the campus have many things in common. They represent the physical side of Pomona to us.
