FRANK PITMAN In Memoriam POMONA WAS A LONG ESTABLISHED TRADITION AND A WHIM OF the moment — a kind of equilibrium between the permanence of a campus and the flux of an ever changing student body. The students, noticing the seasons whisper across the quad — the fall bare sycamores new green in the Spring — watched the changes in the campus and thought themselves unchanged. But old grads, returning, discovered that the slow drift of seasons about the weathered buildings was the only real per- manence. The buildings, old and new seemed to take their life from the students in and around them, but, subtlely, the campus imposed itself on the movement of the college. Its dormitories, classrooms, and athletic fields were vortices around which the shifting currents of a busy student body whirlpooled. Each year a new fourth of Pomona came down College Avenue and through the stone gates. An initial unity was forced upon them by their newness. Un- knowing and unknown, they clung together as a class, amazing upperclassmen by their enthusiasm. But the enthusiasm, broadening, overflowed class unity and began to subordinate into smaller, more intimate unities. Drawn apart by diversity of temperament, students united with those who shared their interests. For their interests, curricular and extra-curricular, Pomona found a place. The enforced first loyalties were academic. There was a devotion to class- room and textbook which was unmatched by an equivalent interest. The shared knowledge of the binomial theorem or Mendel ' s Laws united incon- gruous groups who exchanged textbooks, information, and class notes. Other groupings were less arbitrary. All of them, the diverse loyalties to Coop so- ciability, to student government, to team or fraternity tended to destroy the oneness of the student body. But occasionally the college community, together at a football game or con- vocation, achieved with its physical unity a sudden unified enthusiasm, an in- tangible something called school spirit. The group held the momentary spirit even as it lost its physical unity, spilling off toward Clark or Harwood. And students walking back across the Quad let the remnants of their enthusiasm be caught up by the look of the pale winter sunset tinting the early mist beneath the trees. The spirit which infect- ed them expanded into a vague unspoken affection for the part of Pomona more indelible than memory — its unchanging campus. Through These Gat ft ' - ' . Freshmen Frosh women were greeted on fhe steps of Harwood by Frosh men, sponsors, and interested sophomores. TO MOST OF THE FRESHMEN THE FIRST WEEK was a confusing succession of Sponsors, Ghosts, advisers and nameless new faces. Some found the rush exciting. Others, somewhat homesick, waited only for the time when they would be left alone. But the newness wore off quickly. The class became an identity, elected officers, and chose a name. Parties were ideally informal, always successful. The pleasant irresponsibility of being just a Frosh lasted out the year. Frosh Ruffner and Ackermann enjoyed the relaxed com- panionship of the first patio supper. Bewildered Frosh like Rex Rathbun found the registration lines confusing. Most gave in and bought everything. Frosh officers: Rowley, sec, Fitch, historian, Bri+t, vice pres.. Provost, cheerleader, Sauls, treas.. Rice, men ' s dorm rep., Gregory, cheerleader, led an enthusiastic and united class. Christmas supper decoration was a freshman job. Harriet Watson and Lee Simmons put the finishing touches on the tree. Convocation was traditionally a solemn occasion. When it was over, relieved freshmen hunted for parents and went to lunch in Frary. fe ' j ' ' ! Winning Soph, pie eating team of Carmichael, Davis, and Tedder are dismayed af prize — one nnore pie. Brad Hisey discovered that the end of a frosh was fhe aim of a sophomore. Sophomore Janie Robertson cheers struggling teammates Wickersham, Milbank, Lanfeld, and Fehrensen in Frosh-Soph Tug-O-War.

FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE RIVALRY HIT A POST-WAR HIGH as two non-veteran classes nnet and tangled for the first time since 1941. The participants ' near-destructive enthusiasm prompt- ed hazing on a scale somewhat startling to administration and more staid upperclassmen. Enforced punishment of dinkless Frosh men revived wholesale wearing of the green in which even women unofficially joined. In October, Frosh sprung their Lapithae banner via helicopter and drew action from the Ghosts who declared the spring illegal. Luckier Centaurians took over College Avenue with a successful and predominantly maroon sweater spring. Frosh Banner Spring by helicopter was spectacular but illegal. Sophomore officers — historian, Polos; Vice-Pres., Tranquada; freas., Ward; sec, Houck; girls social chairman, Price; Pres., Bafchelder; publicity, Bloxom; men ' s social chairman, Mines, met in Sophomore stronghold, the French House. Soph men replaced Soph women in Denison and Haddon. Ball, Hupp, Hines, Batchelder relax on Denison ' s steps. President Batchelder won debating competitions with teammate Harry Hupp. Nick Polos debated informally. Men found the fraternity decision a difficult one to make. New Nappie Bill Hammon discovered that egg rolling precedes membership in good standing. Sophomores SOPHOMORES DISCOVERED THAT GREAT- er familiarity with campus life partially compen- sated for the loss of Freshman prestige. Early in the year the siren call of the six local fraternities plunged the men into a week of parties and indecision. Affiliations seemed last- ingly important when made — less limiting as the freshness of brotherhood wore off. Women, spared the artificial split of moving into outside houses, crowded into Blaisdell, except for the few who occupied French and Spanish Houses; and men took over former women ' s residences of Baldwin, Haddon, and Denison. Sophomore president Dick Batchelder kept his class organized for Freshman hazing and found time besides to win numerous debate competi- tions and work in Harwood dinner line. Nancy Price and Doug Hines as Social Chairmen en- livened Sophomore night life with a hay-ride, class rallies and the second annual Pause That Refreshes Dance. Levis were illegal for frosh, legal for sophomores. Pants showing belong to Mee, McHenry, Smith, Polos, Hammon, Brookman, Hart, Beckner, Hatch, Ward, Tucker, Fleisher, Hines, Black, Addison, Leovy, Weakley, Waldon. Juniors Jr. officers: Stokes, Tyler, Sherman, Townsend, and president Kolts planned a varied social program. JUNIORS, SETTLING DOWN TO A FIELD OF CON- centration found upper division work less obvious in con- tent than Freshman-Sophomore survey courses. On North campus the artificial division between frat and non-frat men remained to plague attempts at creation of a class spirit; the women, back together in Harwood after a year of distribution from College Avenue to the borders of Blanchard Park, found reunion pleasant but incomplete. First Junior Class party featured novel relay races. Joan Adgie ties a neat bow as Munz, Colburn, Gustafson, Pauls, Adgie, Sarinana, Riffenburgh, Friis, Shafer, watch. Mary Canby participates enthusiastically in the back- ground as Cathy Marshall discovers the limit of tensile strength of a raw egg. Competition at an end, Biaisdell, Rugg, S+over, Spaulding, Hoyle, Dufcher, Shock, and McColl enjoy Mr s. McCarthy ' s -fine picnic snacks. ENERGETIC AND CAPABLE PRES- ident Kolts and vice-president Sher- nnan nnade an effort to combat the Junior slump with such successful class activities as a minstrel show and a skating party. In March, everyone looked in on and a few helped with glittering prom decorations. Web-footed Juniors flooded the coop patio and paddled about, lighting floating candles to complete the Oz-land atmosphere. Nan McQuiston designed pronn decorations which turned the coop ballroom into the Ozian Emerald City. President Kolts thoughtfully slices away at a castle wall for Jr. Prom decorations. Seniors Senior officers: Women ' s rep. Hamilton, sec. Rohwer, historian Waldo, men ' s rep. Bovard, freas. Lockett, pres. Seely, and vice-pres. Arzt. FOR THE SENIORS THE BEST PART of college lay behind. Ahead lay comprehensives and the rather ter- rifying prospect of the end of 16 years of education. The resignation of Bob Newton left vacant the class presidency which was filled by Don Seely in March. Under the joint leadership seniors organized a banquet at the Ponnona Country Club and filled out their social program with class card par- ties. But social functions were rather inadequate — by the end of May most of the seniors had concluded that comprehensives were a device whose chief purpose was to make departing Pomonans happy to be departing. February Graduation — elated graduates Mais and McClure were welcomed into the ranks of college grads by Ryburg and Hilton. ««• t (ATHLEEN BLANCHARD JIM VEDDER STEWART COX LAURENCE GRAY DOROTHY REMPEL CHARLES HALBERG JONNIE DRAPER PATRICIA DUNLAP BILL SNIDER NANCY HEGEMAN HAL WALDO VIRGINIA LEISHMAN FRANK FARNER FRED HAWTHORNE MARGARET OVERIN MILTON WILSON JOHN FRAZIER BEVERLY SPICER RUTH ANNE ENSVALL JUANITA HORTON BILL PARTRIDGE STELCA HARKER KEITH KEARNEY DALE GENUNG ROBERT HOUGH JOANNE SYKES JACQUES THIROUX GIL BOVARD ORCUT JENNESS BETTY CHILDS JOHN HERLIHY DICK GIST ART GELDNER ROANNE DOLL S.

Within, the complicated machinery which arranged time, place and quantity of classes functioned with only an occasional clank; while President, Deans, and numerous secretaries maintained Pomona ' s academic contact with the world outside and handled intermittent voluntary depart- ures from the Pomona Way. To President Lyon fell the task of making trustees, college benefactors and students see eye to eye on matters of new dining halls and raised tuition. Although his contact with the students was necessarily limited, he could always find time to talk with them about campus problems and took an active interest in the activities of the student body. The greater number of the administration ' s contacts with the students came not through the President but through the offices of the four deans. For Miss Gibson, the semester ' s end meant the termination of twenty-two years as Dean of Women at Pomona. Quietly gracious and efficient she had been a fount of wisdom for frantically planning social chairmen and AWS officers, and an invaluable advisor to countless bewildered Freshmen. Dean Jones ' first full year as Dean of Men was also his last in the position. After a year ' s sabbatical, he announced, his intention was to resume his teaching duties in the Department of Philosophy. His year in the Dean ' s chair was one of major change in the administrative attitude toward student government; and the setting up of the Men ' s judiciary body promised some modification in the role which his successor would take in disciplinary matters. Deans Sanders and Iredell completed their full year under the new titles of Dean of Admissions and Student Personnel and Dean of Faculty. Both, de- spite changes in caption, found their duties essentially the same. To Dean Sanders and the Committee on Admissions fell the task of winnowing out from the thousands of high school applicants the successful candidates for admission who would make up the new quarter of Pomona ' s student body. Even more formidable was the necessity which fell to him for pinning down to a field of concentration slightly slippery Sophomores who preferred delaying all such restricting decisions. Dr. Iredell retained his duties in the Philosophy department but as Dean of the Faculty became the highest ranking officer of the faculty next to the president. His student contacts came chiefly through his work on the Courses of Study Committee of which he was chairman. In upstairs Sumner, the documentary remains of some 10,000 ex-Pomonans reposed in steel filing cabinets. Here through the Alumni Office, the admin- istration maintained its last official contact with its former students. The Academic Side THE YELLOW FRAME HOUSE just North of the Inn, on College, belonged to the President. South cannpus residents passing it on their way to the library often were greet- ed fronn the front steps by Mrs. Lyon or heard one of the young Lyon ' s hitting careful piano notes. The family attended nnost college functions. But President Lyon canne alone to the All-College Auction where he purchased a coveted pair of hand-knit argyles. The long awaited and much debated new dining hall was under construction by the year ' s end. President Lyon and Jean Belknap watch Miss Gibson take a symbolic shovelful at groundbreaking ceremonies. To DEAN JESSIE E. GIBSON For her twen+y-two years of unselfish and active interest in the women of Pomona, This book is dedicated. Deans Jones and Iredell retained teaching duties in the Department of Philosophy, in addition to their administrative tasks. Dr. Sanders was kept busy as Dean of Admissions and Student Personnel. Mrs. Webster ' s was an ever changing job. Receptionist and general handywoman, she was an indispensable part of Administration. Smiling and helpful, Dean Gibson ' s Secretary Miss Vinson remained one of the pleasantest people about Sumner. The Registrar ' s office staff of Bolliger, Leedy, Roe and Stokes under Peg Maple was one anchor in the biannual chaos of registration and new classes. THE FACULTY REMAINED FOR SOME A NECESSARY EVIL; BUT FOR THOSE who were able to look on them as something other than a race apart, there were often relationships as rewarding as the catalogue had promised. Exchange of criti- cism between faculty and students was carried on largely from force of habit, and both eventually discovered that what they wanted was a vague quantity labeled intellectual stimulation , for the lack of which each held the other principally responsible. The faculty as a group maintained an Identity of Its own. On Thursdays there were coffees in the Coop lounge where faculty members gathered to discuss the cur- rent state of education on the Pomona campus and other topics of more seasonal Interest. Occasional faculty meetings served as a medium for injecting administra- tion policies into the main arteries of the college community. ' t , J ' ' ' ' Students saw faculty in a variety of ways. SCHEDULED CLASSES PATTERNED THE DAYS FOR FACULTY AND STUDENT alike. For the faculty it was a consistently rigid pattern; but students broke away from it on warm beach days and at eight o ' clock on Saturday morning. Classrooms across campus buzzed with the voices of professors, from eight to twelve, Monday through Saturday, with time out for chapel and assembly. Through the morning hours students sat, half asleep, and let the dispensed knowledge pass in their ears and out their fountain pens. But after lunch the character of the classes changed. Fountain pens were laid down and Pomona ' s seniors, scientists, soldiers, and surrealists threw themselves somewhat half-heartedly into the business of seminar, close-order drill, dissection and creation. Potential life savers learned the hard way. Tops in class popularity, the senior seminar was liked by prof, and student alike for its informal atmosphere. Dr. Kemble taught Farnham, Turner, Pfleuger, Kelley, Smith, and Polos, Maritime History. Jordan, Cordes, and Cabell spent foot-weary hours in lab. Distri English I a-b — All Freshmen entering in -j-he fall will take English unless exempted . . . New English prof. Springarn, like the frosh, found English I a-b necessary but basically uninteresting. FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, AND transfers found their schedules partially pre- determined by a curriculunn phenomenon known as distribution requirements. These fell into seven sections, and a sampling in each necessarily preceded graduation. Al- though the basic courses were intended as surveys of various fields they inspired more interest when they succeeded In going somewhat below the rurface level.

Here, outside Holmes with Pendrell, Mulhauser, and Bailey. Concen REAL INTEREST IN A FIELD USUALLY came with upper division courses, and the need to concentrate in some particular area of study was impressed on hesitant sopho- mores by a determined Dean of Students and Registrar. Juniors and seniors dis- covered that times for changing majors with the least strain had come and gone in the first two years. Concentration meant something different in every field. Botanists went on frequent field trips to fill gigantic herbariums. Art students gave vent to creative urges, un- hampered by specific assignments. Music majors prepared for impending senior re- citals. Comprehensives were a new reason for taking major subjects in the senior year and an added reason for covering well a particular field. As the only member of the education department, busy Gordon Lee found little spare time to provide majors with specialized courses. 1 New economics professor Dr. Floyd Bond explains the intricacies of marginal analysis to senior econ. major Larry Gray. tration Bo+any head, Dr. Benson, consults wifh an advisee about division courses.

And how are things in economics? — Joe Angell and new faculty member Hahn get together over a cup of tea. THE LIBRARY REMAINED THE ONLY PLACE ON CAMPUS WHERE KNOWLEDGE was available on special reserve (may be taken out for overnight at 9:00). Too crowd- ed for students and too noisy for librarians, it offered such facilities as it had from 7:50 to 10:00 Monday through Friday, with special accommodations for weekend guests. On its steps lounged idling students, gazing off across the Quad toward Big Bridges or talking noisily — lulling conscience by the mere fact of so much knowledge so near. But studying, and pretense to it was not confined to the Carnegie Library. Devotees of Pomona ' s most practiced pastime scattered themselves across the campus in all directions, from Mudd tower to Clark Basement and from Baldwin ' s bathtubs to the end stool at the Coop counter. d ' ' M t 1- H HV I 1 ' H â– â– M% k K â– â– â– i i. --•- â– iJK | | |BHa ii j i ii  i J Miw ii imi iii fl|i  i.Mi,. ,  i  , Fuller, Wheeler, and Morton found the stacks the quietest place to study in a perpet- ually busy llbe. STUDENTS CHOSE LIBRARY LOCATIONS according to temperament and urgency of the assignment. North and South reading rooms were busy and social, frequently dis- turbed by clatter from the check-out desk. The small, much-carved tables in the stacks were usually sought out by those who wanted to be alone or be alone together. The South roonn had an ever shifting population consisting principally of Juniors and Frosh. Inglls, Blaisdel! Burke, Thill, Spaulding, Kurtz, Wickersham, Byington, Sherman, and WIncke try to concentrate. Music majors like Dan Kingman spent much of their study time in the practice rooms. Harriet Shedd found it profitable to study in her room only if her friends went to the library. Downstairs the library was a clutter of newspaper files, aisles of old magazines and government pamphlets. Stern and Daniels seminar over the Book Review Guide while Batey and graduate student Bisconer try to study. Pomona Studies The bull session was recommended highly as the most efficient and pleasant way to learn. Ward, Burke, Kennedy, and Miller are undoubtedly picking up a lot. Laird Jackson and roommate Bud Franklin preferred to study in comfort in their rooms with diversions close at hand. In outside houses, quiet was sometimes hard to find.

Of the four, only Big Bridges remained somewhat set off from the prosaic business of edu- cation. The other three found it necessary to devote a portion of their space to classrooms for producing the actors, artists, and musicians of the future. Rembrandt, low and gashed with bright red, was double-storied. Upstairs, painters Zornes and Perceval and sculptor Jurecka revealed the mysteries of canvas and clay to variously gifted students. Lured by a course catalogue designated as Design and Drawing, majors in psychology and English crowded top-floor Rembrandt from one to three Monday through Friday, produc- ing works of sometimes surprising talent. Downstairs Rembrandt was cut off from the mechanics of the craft. Morn- ings in the gallery, Mr. Foster introduced the interested to the theory and history of art against a backdrop of Rico Lebrun ' s Clown or delicate Ber- man landscapes. Afternoons, Lebrun and Berman were open to public view. In May they were moved out to make room for student work; the product of a year ' s labor with paintbrush and palette overflowed the upstairs studio and invaded the gallery. Just across the road. Little Bridges was rehearsal headquarters for the mem- bers of an orchestra, two glee clubs, three choirs and a Blue and White Quartet. In its upstairs back halls it crammed twenty practice rooms, second home to additional assorted musicians — players of violins, flutes and pianos. Bridges was close enough to the library so that on warm, window-opening nights the confused clutter of sharply struck piano keys and startled trumpet notes, drifting across the Quad, notified those in the North reading room that work was in progress elsewhere. Up College and across the Quad from Bridges stood Holmes Hall. Old and dilapidated, it was the most frequented building on campus aside from the Coop. From Holmes stage assembly speakers addressed spare audiences and Drama Productions played to full houses; while up the stairs and around the corners, the study of language, economics and literature went forward. Holmes ' bulletin board was a confusion of posters, announcements, rehearsal schedules and personals. Behind the bulletin board Mrs. Allen ' s office mutedly resplendent in ultra modern decor was the relay center for Drama Productions — the point of contact between actors, stage crew, publicity chairmen, and a harried director. Beside the busyness of Rembrandt, Bridges and Holmes, Bridges Auditorium stood white faced and staring in rather awkward idleness. Occasionally it opened its doors for a concert or convocation, enduring patiently the strag- gling of student ticket lines across its steps on pre-concert days. To the Arts REMBRANDT OPENED IN OCTOBER TO AN EXHIBIT OF DRAWINGS BY modern artists from the Wright Ludington collection. For a month Rico Lebrun ' s famous Clown stared over the heads of visiting lecturers. In November it v as taken down to make room for a group of Ancient Chinese scroll and fan paintings. Vividly beautiful Alaskan watercolors by faculty member Milford Zornes hung in the gallery in January with a group of Harold Driscoll ceramics. They were followed in February by a joint exhibit of Eugene Berman ' s fanciful illustrations and Charles Lawler ' s streamlined wood sculpture. The Ancient Ceramics show in March was held in conjunction with an exhibition of Modern Ceramics at Scripps. In April, gallery visitors saw a group of fifteenth to twentieth century Spanish paintings from the San Dieqo Art Gallery collection. But professional s were set aside in May, and, in accordance with tradition, the gallery closed its season on the Student and Alumni Shows. A signlflcanf exhibit of ancienf Chinese paintings was held in December. Students Wong, Choy, Wang, and Dr. Chou attended opening night. Busy artist Milford Zornes taught nunnerous art classes and nnanaged in his spare time to keep up a reputation as one of the fore- most watercolorists in the country. His Alaskan watercolor show shared the gallery in January. Art students Hosford, Weakley, â– . and Clewett doodled between sittings of the model. Im POMONA COLLEGE CHRISTIAN Association and its sine qua non, Dr. Cuninggim, realized a dream in the opening of the new four colleges church. The eleven o ' clock services on Sunday mornings were dignified and beautiful. REGULARLY ON MONDAY EVENINGS, AND OCCASIONALLY ON TUESDAYS. Bridges was occupied with student recitals. They were markedly informal affairs shiftingly attended by people who came to hear their favorite Chopin and left immediately. The balcony was usually partly filled by music majors; the main floor by friends and relatives. At eleven each Tuesday morning, a small crowd of regular chapel attenders stood on Bridges ' steps in the sun, moving inside in groups as the organ prelude signaled the beginning of the service. Attendance was usually good, but large and harder- to-please crowds came only for outstanding or well advertised programs. Occasionally Bridges opened for special events. Mozart ' s Cosi Fan Tutti drew a capacity audience for two nights, and, in February, long, black Shakespearean interpreter Pole attracted not only a crowd but an opossum who stalked across the stage in full view of a convulsed audience. LARGEST OF THE MUSICAL GROUPS WERE THE CHOIR and orchestra. Kenneth Fiske teased, coaxed, bullied and amused orchestra nnembers, preparing thenn for their several public appearances. The choir, large and occasionally unnnanageable was worked into condition by Arthur Hitchcock who tirelessly rehearsed both choir and glee clubs for numerous local performances. Men ' s Glee Club: MEMBERSHIP IN ONE OF THE COLLEGE musical organizations was time-consuming but aesthetically rewarding. The groups per- formed individually on and off campus throughout the year, but in March combined to present a dining hall benefit concert in Big Bridges. The Blue and White Quartet — Hartley, Murane, Hubble, Hines, and accompanist Hendrickson dis- rupted Harwood Dining Hall with an unforgettable dinner concert after the college auction. Watkins, Byington, Mu- rane, Gregory, Porter, Hines, Paul, Colburn, Tur- ner, Field, Hubble, Rugg, Marsh, Darr, Herman, and director Hitchcock.

Concert The Leonard De Paur Infarrlry Chorus ' March 3 concert was varied and easy to listen to. Choir nnennbers here wait for the on-stage signal. Baritone Ezio Pinza opened the concert season.

FIVE TIMES DURING THE YEAR BRIDGES played host to Claremont College ' s Artist Course performers. At noon-time on pre- concert days the sunwarmed auditorium steps were littered with ragged lines of waiting students. ON CONCERT NIGHTS THOSE WHO had wilted in the sun for tickets came in formal dress to a brightly lighted Bridges to hear concerts by Ezio Pinza, Du Paur ' s Infantry Chorus, Rudolph Serkin, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. . and always there was hope. III â– w HOLMES WAS CONSISTENTLY BUSY. IN THE MORNINGS ITS CLASSROOMS were filled; except at 50 minute intervals when the porches were crowded with stu- dents smoking a fast cigarette or talking aimlessly to fill up the short ten minutes be- tween sessions. In the afternoons the contents of an occasional philosophy or speech class spilled down the back steps, moving Coopward; and from the stage the shriek of a forcibly removed nail or the rasping cough of a saw indicated that set construc- tion was underway. In the evenings the auditorium was in greatest demand — rehearsals of every size and description filled its date book to overflowing and taxed to the breaking point its limited facilities. Lab Theatre members used the Masquers room downstairs to pre- pare their propless productions and avoided the rush for the auditorium stage; but Drama Productions, Frosh musicals, Orchesis recitals and lecturers vied with each other for the chance to tread Holmes ' antique boards. On Thursdays Thiroux, Bell, and Simpson delighted a capacity audience in a revival of popular Box and Cox . Assennbly luncheons were invariably more stim- ulating than assemblies. Frank Dobie discussed v estern wildlife with Dr. Kemble and Pres. Lyon. THURSDAY ASSEMBLIES MAIN- tained a too-consistent low level of entertainment value and con- sistently failed to attract a lecture-weary student body. Hordes of students and an occa- sional courageous faculty member crowded the coop from 11-12 on assembly days, leaving rows of seats in Holmes staringly empty. Occasionally, entertainment such as Lab Theatre ' s Box and Cox filled the holes. A fragment of Pomona expressed its opinions on served dinners at Student-Faculty quiz show. â– - â– ier KSr Lab Theatre president Chamness spent half his tinne In Holmes — the other half in the Coop. On Stage STUDENT MANAGED AND directed Lab Theater was the ex- perimental branch of Drama Productions. For the novice its pro- ductions were a port of entry to mainstage, and for Drama Produc- tions regulars, participation in the unstaged plays and radio shows offered practice in the craft. George Chamness headed the organization which this year produced eight plays by five directors. Lab Theater was intended for the learning; Masquers for the learned. DP 10 point earners were welcomed into the Drama honorary organiza- tion which was headed by Alfred Geer. In the Spring Masquers took in new members. Their celebration party at Guasti ' s included entertainment by Bell and Thiroux. Frosh Warner, Hall, Johnstone, Riehl, Hinricks, Watson, and Wickersham plan A Heavenly Affair. Merrill, Nicoll, Wilson, and Riehl starred in Frosh extravaganza. IN THE SPRING TWO ORIGINAL STUDENT SHOWS SUCCEEDED IN ACHIEV- ing a sparkling combination of music and drama. Frosh demonstrated their talents in A Heavenly Affair, which proved to be a re- markably integrated, cleverly written show. In May, Simpson, Geer and Thiroux, through Mrs. Allen and Dra ma Productions, presented a play with music, A Young Man With Possibilities, to a delighted Holmes audience. Geer, Hendrickson, Bell and Delano played Max, a piano player, Peggy, and The Seer in the Spring show. Sinnpson, Geer and Thiroux were authors and actors of Young Man With Possibilities. Thiroux, Hutchdson, Bell Geer, Paul, Scott Mrs. Allen ' s Drama Productions main- tained a deserved reputation for excellence. Ah! Wilderness THE FIRST PLAY OF THE YEAR, EUGENE O ' Neil ' s Ah Wilderness brought new- comers Luanne Paul, Marshall Hutchason, James Steffenson, and Mary Jean Van Fleet to the Pomona stage. Memorable were a quiet love scene between Sally Conley and Marshall Hutcha- son and a barroom episode in which Esther Bell as Belle was convincing enough to upset the non-collegiate population of Claremont. Hutchason and Conley Geer, Scott, Paul, Steffenson, Simpson, and Van Fleet SHAKESPEARE ' S STRANGE troupe of the real and the unreal ran, pranced and flitted through a Simpson designed forest for the Christmas season production of A Midsummer Night ' s Dream. Dody Geer as Oberon. Willie Simpson as Puck. The faithful duo of Simpson and Geer delighted playgoers with their portrayals of Puck and Oberon; Dave McComas played a pompous Bottom and Peggy Mac Lean a graceful Titania. Thiroux, Lincoln, McConnas, Delano — the Rustics Midsummer Night ' s Dream Shakespeare ' s fantasy was largest production of year. In cast and crew were Rathbun, Sizer, McFadden, Carmichael, Hebel, Robertson, Bell, Gotschall, Kramer, Tuttle, Gilberg, Lebensart, Williams, Leavenworth, Burns, Griswold, Elmassian, Fialkoff, Conley, Turnac, Geer, Wilson, Mrs. Allen, Nielsen, McComas, Lincoln, Upham, Dobbins, Hutchason, Stephenson, Turner, MacLean. IN MARCH PAUL VINCENT Carroll ' s, Shadow and Sub- stance presented the most polished group of performances for the year. Essentially a talky play, it had a limited appeal.

TURNING IN THEIR FINEST PERFORMANCE SINCE PRE-WAR DAYS, Pomona ' s athletes made the 1948-49 season a memorable one in Sagehen sports history. Fuzz Merritt ' s varsity eleven showed Alumni Field spectators lots of football as they captured six of eight starts, compiling the best Sagehen grid record in over a decade. Defeating Whittier, Caltech, and Redlands, the Hens nabbed second place in conference play behind an undefeated Occidental squad. Hoopsters turned in Pomona ' s second second of the year. Off to a slow start, Tom Bell ' s Cagehens finished the season just short of a championship by blasting Caltech and Occidental in the final week of play. The first vic- tory on the Tigers ' home court in seventeen years gave the casaba men a double win over Oxy. Backbone of the team was long Locke Olson who wrote finis to a brilliant career by setting an all-time Sagehen scoring record. Baseballers, led by Beefy Heath compiled an excellent record in practice games but found conference play rough sledding. They dropped the first three league encounters before trimming Whittier 10-5. Standouts for the Blue and White were pitcher, Grant Brown, infielder, Lee Hough, and out- fielders, Bud Newton and Jack Keogh. The classy Sagehen spikesters, paced by sprint sensation Roger Reinke, posted 4 out of 5 dual meet victories in preparation for their championship fray with Oxy. Reinke set new Pomona standards in both the 100 and 220 as he led Coach Bob Strehle ' s crew to wins over Redlands, Whittier, Caltech, and Loyola, losing only to Cal Poly. Hen netters, co-coached by John Shelton atjd Merrimon Cunningim, chalked up an excellent record in an attempt to repeat their 1948 conference cham- pionship. The racketmen were paced by veterans Don Woolsey and Larry West. In minor sports competition Tom Bell ' s mermen swam their way to a con- ference third as did Coach Strehle ' s leather-lunged cross country team; and Hen linkmen made a strong bid to retain their golf championship. In his first year as Frosh football coach, Ed Malan piloted a strong Sage- chick team to the championship. Don Rice and Bud Piper led the yearlings through a five game schedule undefeated. A second Frosh championship was won in cross country; but despite the presence of sensational distance man Walt Linaweaver, the Chick track team wound up fourth. Bob Redfield ' s basketballers were in the thick of the title chase until injuries benched star center Bob Woods and left them tailing the conference. Frosh tennis and baseball teams took no championships but showed promise of talent for future varsity competition. Time Out WINNING SIX OF THEIR EIGHT STARTS, THE 1949 SAGEHEN GRID MACHINE turned out to be one of the finest in Ponnona history. The offensive unih of Fuzz Merritt ' s two platoon systenn, led by little All American Johnny McColl, averaged over twenty points a game, while the defensive team, sparked by center Bob Fortney, held three conference foes scoreless. The Hens got off to a flying start by downing a weak Mt. San Antonio eleven, 32-7, in the Mountaineers ' new stadium. Halfback Lloyd Herbener and fullback George Colbath starred with long touchdown runs. At Santa Barbara, the Sagehens found themselves, and then proceeded to drop the ballgame to the Gauchos. Colbath and McColl led the Blue and White to a surprising 14-13 halftime lead, but the home towners turned on the speed in the second stanza to gain a 32-14 verdict over the injury riddled Hens. La Verne proved an easy victim, as Herbener, McColl and Company pounded out a 34-13 decision in a listless game. Football Chandler and Keogh led one of best Sagehen teams in a decade.

' LOS ANGELES WAS THE NEXT stop on the Sagehens ' win schedule, as Pomona made football history by edging heavily favored Loyola 34-32. The brilliant all-around performance of quarterback McColl proved the spark for a great showing by the whole Pomona team. McColl and Colbath each scored twice, and Her- bener kicked the vital extra points to give the Hens victory over the Golden Boys from Playa del Rey. Tom Miller stops Loyola ' s Musacco McColl moves in to stop Les Coniglio, Lion speedster THE MERRITTMEN RETURNED TO THE CONFERENCE WARS BY punching out a 20-0 win over Redlands ' defending channps. The defensive crew turned in their best showing of the year, holding the Bulldogs to a net gain of less than thirty yards from scrinnmage. End Sheldon Kirby stood out when he stole the ball from a Redlands halfback and scampered unmolested Into the Bulldog end zone. McColl added the other two Pomona scores on line bucks. AN OVERFLOW HOMECOMING CROWD ROARED THEIR approval as the Sagehens continued their winning ways by trimnning a hard hitting Whittler eleven 14-0. Red Herbener scored all fourteen points. McColl turned in his usual outstanding ganne and sophomore Tom Miller starred on defense to help keep the Pomona goal uncrossed in conference play. The victory was a costly one, however, as the Hen ' s top two fullbacks, Colbath and Petre, received crippling injuries. Rally Committee members White and Voyer decorated the goalposts before Whit- tier Game. POMONA 14 WHITTIER Enthusiastic crowds over-flowed the bleachers to watch Fuzz light the big blaze as Claremont ' s alert fire company kept an eye out for stray cinders. The players were the only people at PaHerson field who had room to move — as record crowds furned out to see Oxy smash Pomona ' s unbeaten, un- scored upon record. FIGHT! I ' M L m i THE TRADITIONAL BIG GAME WITH OXY wrote a dismal end to a successful season. A hectic Beat Oxy week, climaxed by the spec- tacular Oxy rally, produced a record turnout at Eagle Rock for the game, but the Sagehens, minus their big punch at fullback, were not up to the occasion, and dropped a 14-0 decision to the undefeated Tigers. Herbener and Craig Tyler sparked several Pomona drives, but each fell short of the Bengal goal line. Outstanding in defeat for the Hens was Bob Fortney who climaxed a brilliant football career by turning in ,a tremendous sixty minute game.

C, the Malan coached Sagechick squad made a clean sweep of the conference to take the first frosh football title since 1938. Chicks opened the con- ference battle with easy wins over Tech and Redlands. Whittier was tougher, and it was a hard fought game from which the Chicks emerged on the long end of a 21-13 score. With three wins, the Frosh set the stage for an Oxy game that really counted — and an oversize crowd watched them blank the Kittens, 12-0 on Alumni Field. For Coach Malan, the victory meant an outstanding first year as Chick coach. Coach Malan sends in Hank Turner Frosh put in hours of practice for their SCIAC victory. FROSH SCORES PIERCE J. C.

In practice games the Hens maintained the same .500 rating, scoring wins over such squads as Chapman, Pasadena College, Los Angeles State and the El Toro Marines. The losses included a two- pointer to the potent Los Angeles Police team. Woodpecker Heaven was the scene of near- capacity crowds over the three-month season, but the peak in excitement and effectivene ;s was reached in the final two games when Pomona poured it on to win going away from Oxy and Caltech ' s Engineers.

Olson and Hough, both seniors, were the only members of the ' 49- ' 49 team not due to return. By vote of coaches of the five SCO schools Olson and Essig were named to the 10 man all-confer- ence squad.

Pat Dunlap explains acquacade routine to Griswold, Murphy, Stacey, Phillips, Maguire, and Cabeen. AT POMONA THE FOAM-GREEN STUDENT UNION WAS THE COOP. There was a well-trodden road to it from anywhere on campus and the num- ber of people sitting in its patio was a reliable gauge of the amount of activ- ity going on elsewhere. On Wednesdays and Saturdays music heard half-way across the quad was reasonable indication of a dance in the ballroom. Wednesday night affairs were regular and informal. Saturday dances were infrequent enough to be important, and formals usually brought on frantic ballroom decoration. Big dances remained fundamentally unsocial. Their success depended much less on the skill of the planner than on the social attributes of the date with whom the majority present were fated to spend an uninterrupted evening. On non-festive nights the Coop lounge sheltered meetings of all sizes and descriptions. Executive council had a room to itself, upstairs, which was oc- casionally usurped by Curriculum Committee or Sagehen Staff. Downstairs, at small and large meetings the problems of student government were hashed and rehashed. Smaller groups lounged comfortably, feet up, in the overstuffed couch and chairs, but open meetings strewed interested on-loolc- ers on the floor and ballroom steps. At the west end, the Women ' s lounge was quiet, usually utilized by off- campus students for between-classes studying. The men ' s lounge, deprived of its pock-marked pool table attracted motley groups of instrumentalists who knocked out two-beat by the hour. Across the patio was the publications office. In early evening it was social. But its lights were consistently the last to be doused and late callers were likely to receive a cool welcome from a deadline-ridden editor. Struggling over typewriter and gluepot, the staffs of three publications struggled to turn out material which would suit most of the people most of the time. Inserters of meeting notices in Student Life looked upon it as a slot through which a story dropped early enough fell miraculously into print — modified. Staff members and editors found that slips between inspiration and Tuesday- Friday dinner tables were many. The width of a door away from the littered publications office. Graduate manager Helen Throne was business manager for ASPC, supervised book- store and fountain. To the students she was general assistant in time of need, dispenser of Coop checks and wife of a mustachioed photographer. Under her guidance the happy, exploited family of Coop employees wielded dish towel and cash register for 65c an hour, handing out soap covered coffee cups when business was fast and visiting with customers in slump periods. At the Coop IN THE COOP LOUNGE NUMEROUS ORGANIZATIONS HELD LONG, TIRE- some meetings; on dance nights organized gaiety invaded ballroom and patio, but the Coop maintained a personality of its own. Its booths and fountain were the best place for informal social contact on campus, and a quick cup of coffee or a hand of bridge were generally accepted excuses for letting slip five minutes or half an hour. In the mornings everyone went crazy from ten minutes before the hour until the last coffee gulper was off for Holmes in a cloud of dust. At the other end of the room the bookstore drowsily carried on. Employees indulged in a frantic week at the beginning of each semester; then spent their time making an occasional toothpaste sale or flicking flies off extra copies of Chinese Ceramic Glazes. In the evenings, writers at work in the publications office were disturbed by a combo blaring two-beat from the men ' s lounge and, when it was warm, by the conversation of the couples who sat In the patio to drink their cokes. 5% The patio was always littered with stacks of cups and empty bottles. Fountain worker Bob Larkin removes another pile from under the cards of three oblivious bridge players. Coop Concerns During most of the year book-store sales were slow. Nerling, Shand and Smith carry on a leisurely transaction with Zim and an unidentified friend. Graduate Manager Mrs. Throne explains the proper method for giving the customer as little as possible for his nickel to fountain clerks Tuttle and Bevier. Weather dictafed Wednesday dance attire — a heavy rain caused Bovard, Loper, Dellinger, Hawthorne, Dorst, and Kinney to choose the warnn comfort of the rug for wet feet. Occasionally, couples took turns changing well-worn records during Wednesday night dances. Shirlee Rogers and Clark Johnson do their stint. Hupp and Anderson, Scott and Snnith, and Cable and Iredell at well-attended Sophomore sponsored Coop Dance. WEDNESDAY NIGHT COOP DANCES MADE A FEEBLE FIRST OF THE YEAR attempt to remain stag, then relaxed into the familiar pattern of expected couples. Occasional spasms of mixer enthusiasm drew larger than usual crowds, but the opening hour of frenzied exchange usually left a residue of stag men heaped about the doorways and a handful of couples occupying the ballroom floor. Though at- tendance was low, Social Chairman Rempel ' s excellent organization resulted in well- planned Wednesday night affairs sponsored by various campus organizations. The post-election rally dance easily took top honors for successful informality. Frosh decorated extensively tor a successful dance at Harwood. Queen Joanne Sheets dances with Dean Jones after coronation at Greek Letter formal. Interfrat princesses Maclean, Styles, Patrick, Shiplett, Shaver precede Queen Sheets in the coronation ceremony. Scherfee, Sloan, Clark, Lloyd, Crandall, Marshall, and McKenna relax at the Coop at intermission. The smart couples got the soft seats in the lounge before intermission. a Formals Between dances, couples sat out in the lounge or used it as a thoroughfare between the Coop fountain and the ballroom. ASPC Officers: Secretary, Craig Tyler; Vice- President, Dot Rempel; and President, Bill Moremen. PRESIDENT BILL MOREMEN, FACED WITH the time-consuming task of keeping the wheels of the executive council turning smoothly, gave, in addition, his time and interest to working out plans for new Student government machinery. Those who attended a few of his numerous com- mittee meetings stood in awe of Bill ' s tireless enthusiasm at session after session and marveled at his ability to combine efficiency with a capac- ity for always appearing easygoing. Vice-president Dot Rempel and Secretary Craig Tyler were probably the only people on campus who could come close to Bill in number of meet- ings attended. Dot ' s job was the social program. To a task calling for organizational ability she brought that and more. Greatest tribute to her smoothly run year were the Wednesday night Coop dances which achieved an unheard-of regularity. Craig gave to the job of secretary a new im- portance which his successors would find it hard to live up to. Fearless in his opinions, he was a tireless worker for student government and drew admiration from all who saw him in action in executive council and committee meetings. Executive Council added Stu- dent Government to its already well-filled agenda. Jr. President Kolts, AMS President Keogh, Frosh President Woolett listen to chairnnan Morennen.

S+udent Government Steering Comnnittee, Stern, Dorst, Schwarberg, Hollingsworth, BIrnie formed a tired but interested nucleus for student government debates. Schwarberg headed influential Student Opinion group. IT WAS A YEAR OF STUDENT government at Pomona. The months of investigation and planning by Dick Birnie ' s Student Government Com- mittee resulted in a proposed complete reorganization of the ma- chinery of policy making and law enforcement. Student Opinion, probed by Cliff Schwarberg ' s com- mittee was put to a vote in Febru- ary, and the revised set-up received the student body stamp of approval. Proposals were put into effect almost immediately. Hectic work by Don Pitts ' Election Committee pre- pared for new student body elections in April.

Under ASPC jurisdiction, through the medium of ASPC funds, various organizations and committees functioned to serve the students. Some, like PCCA, had little immediate connection with Executive Council — others, like Dave Stern ' s Publicity Committee had nothing permanent about them except the ASPC appointed chairman. College Chest members Allen, Todd, Reed, Ch. McClaIn, Stern, and Steinberger, Aldrich, Burns, tried a new program this year, repeated popular WSSF auction. P.C.C.A. added the College Church to its growing list of activities. Officers: Baum, Fields, Stokes, Burns, Paul, Dutcher, Johnson, Co-Pres. Hodge, Wollin, Erdahl, Barnard, Woolsey, Shedd, and Co-Pres. Scherfee. AMS â– â– '  M«NiiN AMS Officers: Chamholm, sec, Zimmerman, treas., McColl, vice-pres., and Keogh, pres., planned successful dance and Karnival. POMONA ' S MEN IN ORGANIZED STATE WERE designated as the Associated Men Students. Although its general functions were obscure, AMS asserted itself in the winter to sponsor a formal and a Kannpus Karnival. The fornnal, a Black and White, featured fantastic decora- tions by Heber Clewett; the Karnival, offering all-front- and-no-baclc booths, featured a King and Can-can cuties. Despite much horseplay and wasted time Kampus Karnival booths were up by Saturday evening. Sue Ficker, Queen of the L.A. County Fair crowned Karnlval King Thumper Johnson. Harvard House sponsored a Hawaiian Hut, found talent straight from the islands in Nicoll, Hinrichs, and Hartley. Karnival Night is anyone looking? Dr. Scott considers trying his hand at one of MacMillan ' s weights. Well rehearsed can-can girls Wilson, Shiplett, Kolts, Canby, and Shaver packed the house for three shows. Singer Bell decorates the piano at rehearsal. Frosh, Rosenthal, Marples, Caraway, Os+er, Soders+rom, Farringfon, Barnes, Ockner, Bying+on, Lindop, cooled off at Camp Bethel during Frosh week, under Ghost supervision. THE GHOSTS SELECTED THEIR new members carefully but found few ways to use the collected talents. Most important of their activities was the Frosh Men ' s retreat at Camp Bethel and the supervision of subsequent Frosh-Sophomore rivalry. Members attracted unexpected pub- licity when the joint Ghost-Mortar Board solution to the library prob- lem proved unpopular enough to bring to arms Pomona ' s student government enthusiasts. Ghost Presidents Daniels (1st semester) and Stern (2nd semester) led Keogh, Steere, Chandler, McColl, Wood, Tyler, Gregory, Birnie, Zimmerman, Hough, Newton, and Moremen with the help of advisors Scott and Jaeger. ff ' ' «-.i. , p f ' m M Mor+ar Board: Belknap, Hosford, Barnes, Hodge, Poe, Loveall, Arzt, Walsh, Pendrell, Rempel, S+eln- berger. OUTSTANDING WOMEN WERE TAPPED FOR MORTAR BOARD OR CHOSEN as sponsors. Sponsors learned the mechanics from Head Sponsor Shirley Barnes but had to deal individually with exuberant Frosh whom they steered through the hazards of a first year at college. Sponsors: Poe, S+einberger, Seppi, Maclean, Derman, Hughes, Bell, Quire, Pendrell, Locke+t, Deam, Hegeman, Head Sponsor Barnes, Aldrich, Bulmahn, Blaisdell, Doll, Arzt, Erdahl. Jean Belknap, AWS Pres. divided her time between Student Government work and Board activities. AWS NEARLY ALL OF THE WOMEN ' S activities fell under the jurisdiction of the AWS. President Jean Belknap headed a board which took charge of a cabin at Halona, a station wagon, a fornnal, welfare work, vocational guidance, campus disciplinary regulations, and other matters concerning South campus. The choosing of Mortar Board and sponsors at the AWS Banquet and the crowning of the May Queen on Women ' s Day were the high points of the Associated Women ' s year. AWS officers, vice-pres. Dutcher, pres. Belknap, treas. Martin, and sec. Croson confer with Graduate Manager Mrs. Throne.

Not shown: Fisher, Leovy, Wright, and Martini. THE STUDENT LIFE WAS STILL EVERY- body ' s newspaper at Pomona. More often criticized than congratulated, It provided table conversation on Tuesday and Friday evenings. Editor Gregory finished his two semester stint in February and turned the editorial reins over to associate Herzbrun. Bloxonn, edit, assistant, Sherman, associate editor, Deam, news editor. Photographers Woodruff, Lloyd and Jam- gochlan were indispensable fo Mefafe and Sagehen. Slahn and Fortney handled S. L. circulation efficiently. Business manager Daniels was faced with difficult job of pleasing four editors and numerous advertisers. THE SAGEHEN WAS A NEW VENTURE. Sparked by capable and experienced Shel- ton Stone, a shifting staff worked success- fully to redeem a new magazine from the curse of an old name. Metate was still unavoidably an editorial job. Co-editors, Dye and Inglis, made wretched the lives of three photographers and numerous friends — learned the hard way to put out an annual. Barbara Inglis and Jo Dye co-edited the Metate Sagehen Staff Dorst, Bloxom, Shand, Herzbrun, Lloyd, Tay- lor, editor Stone, Stein- berger, and Webb did a face-lifting job on the New Sagehen. Math Club members Engvall, Kahn, Smifh, and Baum, hear Charles Halberg lecture. French Club: Bevier, Bloxom, Hugon, Marx, Renouf, Duke, Lanfeld, Field, Norris, Slaman, Schmidt, Steen, Ward, and Lohier. Bovard headed Caducean meetings in N. Frary. Clubs Symphony Forum: Paul, Harmon, Schroeder. Loucks, Rowley, Bloxom, and Fitch. Grant, Iredell, Lombard and Shedd formed nucleus of the Campus Forum. And Spanish Club: Jacot, Beafty, DuHweiler, Marshall, Day, Dunlap, Quick, McCann, Berman, Heflin, Thompson, Ballard, Woods, Edelstein. Nof shown: Atkinson, Otero, Escobar, Ackermann. Orchesis members Wilson, Canby, Breitner, Loper, Fitch danced under the instruction of Miss Burt. More Clubs Camera Club members MacFadden, Jamgochian, Jordan, Smith, and others met when possible: helped out on publications. POMONA ' S CHARACTER AS A RESIDENCE COLLEGE BECAME MORE marked as post-war crowding eased off. For the first time in many years there was room in college dormitories for nearly all of the student body. Freshman faculty houses and outside houses for Sophomore women were a thing of the past; and off campus living became, for the most part, a matter of choice. Dormitory life was sometimes pleasant, seldom dull. Underclass women chafed under late hour restrictions but discovered as seniors that every-night one o ' clocks were only occasionally useful. Men took extensive maid service for granted — noticed it only when it failed to function. Every night, Harwood was the final resting place for 180 Freshman and Junior women who found that it had outstandingly tall windows, sleeping porches with smudgy curtains, small closets, and an architectural plan which baffled visiting parents. Its red tile front hall and conspicuous male room had a companionable informality which was noticeably lacking in the Chinese modern luxury of outer Mudd-Blaisdell. Harwood front steps were seldom without a sitting couple, and the living room was the thoroughfare for famished female choir members racing to lunch. Sophomores and Seniors found that the comfort of big beds and adequate desk space in Blaisdell and Mudd more than made up for the uncomfortable formality of the entrance hall. Clark was still the most beautiful dormitory on campus, and the only one which boasted of suites with fireplaces. Long, wide and rambling it was to the uninitiated a confusing labyrinth of stairs and hallways. Its wardrobe closets were coveted by wrinkled Soufh campusers who saw them on open house nights. At foundation level Clark was home to the five local fraternities. Comfort- able and usually quiet, frat rooms were conducive to all-night poker games and interminable sessions. Lying between the Coop and the swimming pool. Smiley was assaulted afternoons by acquacade rehearsals and evenings by dance music from the ballroom. Its delapidated rooms were home to assorted male Pomonans who found it a great place for wasting time but a poor place to study. Though major league bowling in the halls was no longer an accepted pastime, women on their way to the pool cou ' d invariably hear the sharp click of billiard balls in the Kappa Thete room. Men ate together in Frary — growing eventually oblivious to Prometheus writing on the North wall. Women ate in low-ceilinged Blaisdell or high, noisy Harwood — awaited with mingled feelings the completion of the new kitchen and dining room at Mudd-Blaisdell.

Vine-grown and badly in need of paint, it provided a kind of crowded comfort for 180 juniors and freshmen. On warm days the patio was alive with sun-bathers and with diners who let their ice cream sag into form- less pools, unnoticed. Waterbagging from front windows was accepted though unauthorized, and quiet hours were almost never strictly observed. The cleaning men often came too early. Frosh Rowley, Heatwole, Modesti, Hatch, Gotschall, Bull, and Howland; and juniors Nickerson, Beatty, Adgie, Gray, Newton, and Bulkley, found the Christmas pajamarino hilarious. Revived student-faculty din- ners gave students a chance to meet professors infor- mally. Dr. Phillips, Johnson and McFadden visit in Har- wood parlor after dinner. harwood ' s pepper tree blew down in lafe winter, leaving a gaping hole in the patio. Its passing was mourned by friends and acquaint- ances, among whom was Eleanor NIckerson. It only happens once every four years. Inglis, Selway, Mais, Blaisdell, and Bulkley sat out election night with cokes, cards, and two radios. Glenn, Merrill, and Gilberg showed visitors a suite carefully cleaned for open house. Jo Gilberg ' s room, startling in red and green took prize for most originality. Mudd- Blaisdell Mudd-Blaisdell Hall Seniors McRedmond and Hosford brightened up their bare rooms in the fall. Chocolate passings, believed by most to be the acme of a college career, were always a complete surprise. Audrey Tuttle caught Barnes, Steinberger, Oberle, Farrell, Hosford, James, and McRedmond unawares. Mail hungry students Houck, Morton, Johnson, Hotchkiss, and Edmundson beat Miss Dewey to the draw, while Mr. Clayton ignores the rush. Whe MUDD BECAME LESS RESTRAIN- ingly new with two years of occu- pancy under its roof. The interior walls which still stood half-dressed, in their original white stucco, began to show a definite need for a coat of paint. Sophonnore women, antici- pating a second year in Harwood enjoyed to the fullest the comfort of Blaisdell. Near the end of the year, women could hear the cement mixers and hammers busily at work on the new dining hall. Clella Carpenter ruefully surveys her stacked room. Clark MOST OF THE MEN LIVED IN CLARK. LOW, sprawling, and divided by tortuous hallways, the dormi- tory tended to break the men into small groups, added to the difficulty of reaching them as a whole. Men found that fraternities provided a medium for getting to know each other and a place in which to do it. Miller and Weakley try to keep Frary men happy. Ackermann and Mayor get seconds on milk. Pranks ranged from a horse left in the room of an unsuspecting friend to the usual room stacking; a culmination of weeks of collecting newspapers. Cox, Findlay, and Rugg just relax. Dick Olshausen ' s room was wired from wall to wall and floor to ceiling. Paul Schwab did find a place to perch. Wollin, Frank, and Smith, like many, lived among s+range collections of decorations. Et Al THERE WERE OTHER PLACES TO live on campus. Old and vine-grown Smiley was one of them. Made attrac- tive by low rent, it had a kind of congenial informality which resulted in flooded staircases and cracked plaster. Some of the men moved into former Sophomore women ' s residences of Baldwin, Haddon and Dennison, officially opening South campus to Pomona ' s male population. Smiley men found that ukes helped to while away a Sunday afternoon but didn ' t drown out aquacade music. Baldwini+es Johnson, Daniels, Hamilton, Stern, Chandler, Wood, pose tor an unposed picture. WOMEN, DISPLACED FROM THE houses lived in the dorms except for assorted Sophomores who had a taste of small group living in Spanish and French houses. North and east of Clark the veterans housing units were still filled with wives, children, dogs, and veterans. French and Spanish hlouses were filled with dis- placed sophomore women. Sylvia Love and Marilyn Warner stop on the way to orchestra to chat. Vets wives, Venolia and Diemer, visit while husbands spend the afternoon in lab.

As a group, led by the interfrat council, they sponsored the interfraternity formal and informal, formed the fraternity league in intramural competition and offi- cially raised Hell for one weekend.

The first snow in 17 years carpeted the winter brown lawns, masked the leafless bush shapes, and drew students out of bed long before their accustomed hour. Melted by the morning sun, the snow fell again and brought a mass afternoon exodus to the quad where students indulged in such obvious pastimes as snowfights and snowman construction. Talented Baldwinites embarrassed female passersby with a too realistic bright blue snow maiden which outlasted two days of sun. ts- u-ntd Alumni Field bleachers looked less bleak under the blanket of snow. Snow Percy Coffey asks for time out in a fighf with Peter Yeung. 4- ' 5t.-- Cars and bicycles tracked fhe fresh snow by Sumner. Drivers quickly learned to stay off icy patches and to furn into skids.
