Hi Mood . . . The student is a creature Of many moods, And so is tine instructor And the administrator Who does the planning. Even the campus And the crici et In the corner bush Are subject to moods. In this book We have tried to catch And to hold With camera and with words The many moods That have become An indelible part Of your college days. Unless a man is responsive In his own fashion He is little more Than an ant — But who can say that an ant Escapes the ups and downs That make life interesting? REFLECTION UPON (Robert Cluchey) :: m ci : ■f. y v.:i:t •9«« .. •J ■aswi LIGHT AND LAUGHTER (Kirsten Hansen Sue Krouser) OPPORTUNITY AND BOOKS were at every hand just after registration. Chief salesman was beaming Harry Dangerfield, Mr. Bookstore, who offered a bonus of friendship with all supplies. Each book was to become an important part of student li fe in the immediate future, and curiosity ran high. Would time prove these investments a delight or a chore? Pictured below are John Lundell, Ann Miller, Bill Noble, Evangeline Durr, Pat Hobbs, Mary Phillips, Jackie Christopherson, and Camilla Baugh. A CHAT ON THE LAWN SHIFT IN ELEVATION YOU DON ' T SAY! ENTHUISIASM AND GOOD INTENTIONS prevailed, and seats in the library were at a premium. Still tanned by the summer sun and eager to excel are Kay Magrage (foreground), Carol Porter and Janice Brown, nearer windows. However, they found that there was time for play as well as work. They discovered the campus and they made new friends: (See movie below). Campus scenes at bottom of page present Doug Morton, Bill Branton, Jim Hurley, Bob Broyles, Lloyd Curtis, Maynard Small, and Madelyn Burg. RANDOM DEBATE TIME OUT JUST A TRICKLE n the Beginning... What with the perplexities of registration And the vexing problem of schedule conflicts The average student went around in circles — Like the earrings of Bonnie Williams who chose A seat by the sun dial to figure things out. THE INEVITABLE LINE seemed end- less. Finally, though, these students found themselves inside and on their way to the next step in the process of registration. Recognizable and in temporary suspension are Marlene Curtis, Barbara Morris, Frank Gon- zales, Jeannette Lowe, Gene Kuy- kendall, Barbara Porter, and Lucille Carlos. INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING was an important step. Questions had to be settled. The air was static as Cecil Johnson, Lawson Cooper, Martin Brauti, Ruth Cooper, and Leroy Buck- nell helped Annette Shippee, Joan Lee, Barbara Boyne, Verla Wilson, and Margaret Wolfe. AND A DOUBLE CHECK helped speed registration. It was made pos- sible by a mysterious system which used priority numbers. Here Adelyn Bonin and Coke Meier help Larry Brown and Margaret Wolf. For the first time, the newly completed gym- nasium was the scene of registration. ■JdJj ' S -i- .... f ' ;:? THE GANG ' S ALL Filkl — Enthusiasm for both books and social activities is a prime requisite for successful college life. First assembly on the outdoor stage renewed pep and brought a resurgance of school spirit that had been shelved for the summer months. Campus Life A SLIGHT PAUSE after the rigors of registration and before the books pile up is only natural. Pauses are times for inspecting the Pit and the Tiger ' s Den and for looking up old friends. The informal atmosphere was contagious. Michelle Hawthorn, left, was only one of many who quickly selected a vantage point. The re- porter failed to determine what happened to her shoes, but the photographer was quick to take advantage of the situation. Anyway it becomes a bit tiresome tramping all around to find Room 28 for example and to retrace your steps after discovering that English I has been booked for a different classroom. The first few days are ideal times for swapping those stories that accumulate during vacation and for comparing hard-earned tans before they fade. And, of course, resolutions are made to the effect that this will be a year of concentrated study. Moods of resolution and determination must face a long hard test — well, they can ' t help but help. 10 • . . ' Outlook THE UPPER LEVEL is one of the best vantage points on the campus. Rare is the student who can resist leaning on the railing before class to direct a quick glance at the scene below. Barbara Murray, Dixie Hogan, Coke Meier and Betty Shelton prove the point. KAFFEE KLATSCHES can be found at most any fable in the pit. These personalized formations are also suitable for cards or gossip. Intent upon their own business or entertaining bits of things in general are Doris Jordan, Shirley Skaggs, Barbara Halterman, Pat Schwirzke, Mary Bolieu, Florence Baer, and Cliff Soil. TALL STORY — Upton Henderson evidently can ' t quite feature Dick Miller ' s description of the one that got away, or maybe the cute little coed about so high. COMPARING NOTES - Bernard Klivans and Don Bussey, like all students, found that it takes a little while to get back to more serious business. Can ' t be the assignment that ' s funny. The Old and the New RIVERSIDE COLLEGE is famed for its unusual architectural design. The inner quad is known far and wide, and there are no keep-off-the-grass signs to disturb that mood of tranquility or the spirit of frolic which emerges during brisker portions of the day. Founded in 1916, first classes were taught in the high school. The college moved to its own campus in 1922, and it was not until 1951 that the present quadrangle was completed. Kenneth Middleham, photography instructor, glanced down one day while engaged in an overhead mission. The picture below is what he saw. 12 B. NEWEST ADDITION to the college plant is large and attractive gym- nasium that opened in September. Construction project included place- ment of five tennis courts, handball courts, re-location of the practice football field, and other facilities as shown in these photographs. The new center is divided by Saunders Street in the Tequesquite Arroyo also — the neighborhood of the electronics and auto mechanics shops. RECESS SUDDEN THOUGHT CONTEMPLATION CONVICTION ENTHUSIASM ANTICIPATION Instructors Were Needed CLASSROOM CLOSEUP - Since a faculty is for the benefit of the students, the Tequesquite staff welcomed pictures in this section of how teaching is applied. The mood of the trio at left, Eddie Casem, John Lake, and James Buchanan is intense and speculative. A COLLEGE, naturally enough, is no stronger than its administration, and its faculty, and its student body no matter how attractive the campus may be. In the candid photographs of President Orland W. Noble, taken by Bill Speck, the birth of an idea is strongly depicted along with the force of personality and the enthusiasm that it takes to put an idea across. Constantly expanding. Riverside College now has an enrollment of more than 900. Basic lower division college courses are available in addition to training in an increasing number of specialized fields. The faculty consists of more than 40 instructors, a majority of whom have made notable contributions to the profession off the campus as well as on. 15 aW Good Nature Administrators and teachers alike achieve the most desirable results if they can be wise and firm without losing the personal qualities of friendliness and good nature. In previous pages you have met President Noble and Earl A. AAcDermont, registrar, and if their attitudes were not enough to prove our point other administrators presented on these pages, along with a jolly as- semblage of teachers and students in action and repose, should clinch the case. It ' s easy to feel animated and to snap out of a dis- tressing mood when your friends and associates have put aside their own troubles — for the time being at least. tPi OUTLOOK MERRY - Frances M. Fraser, dean of women, and Mrs. Mary E. Wallace, faculty member in charge of student personnel, react favorably to some student doings. FOOD FOR THOUGHT - Mrs. Carolyn Wilson, home eco- nomics instructor, watches Darlene Pierce and Marilyn Cerda sample their own viands. TOP O ' THE MORNING — Things can look awfully bright right after or during the coffee break. Philip Black, Mrs. Phyllis Sensor, David McCuish, and Arthur Knopf find things to their liking. Sorry, Mr. Knopf, we had forgotten that you aren ' t a coffee drinker. DAILY CHAT — Men in profile are Ralph Bradshaw, dean of men, pointing aloft, and Dean McColum, imiably settling an issue in the Pit. Abounds PRECISION - Evan Vail, band and orchestra instructor — also driller of the pompon troupe, notes some imperfection in the routine. He alone, on these pages, is absorbed by serious matters. 17 ,0 - (-ftXP Any Questions Some instructors are naturals for the photographer ' s art, and when the man with the camera can penetrate the classroom, which, you will note, was done on frequent occasions by this year ' s staff, the results are illuminating. On these pages we present, without embellishment: 1. The histrionics of Hess (above) 2. The suff erance of Stald- er (left) 3. The precision of Peck (page 19, below) 4. The silence of Stone (page 19, insert) CAST OF CHARACTERS participating in the geology field trip at right include visitors as well as students, so vje can ' t name all of them. The ones we know include John Torchia, Dick Wilhelms, Wilda Carlson, Doug Morton, Bob Murphy, Marion Alley, Mrs. Lucille Hays, Marie Hays, Ed Herback, Mrs. Marion Darton, Instructor Peck, Duane Cross, Adelyn Bonin, Lowell Roberts, Eileen Hammerschmidt, Eugene Ackles, Joe Phillips, Gary Bingham, Mary Bingham, and Dr. Frank Bingham. The scene is a slope of Mt. San Bernardino on the road to Camp Angelus. 18 or Comments? NOTES ABOUT NOTES are exchanged by Instruc- tor Donald Stone in conference with Ars. Florence Ritz, right. Here we look in on an intimate conference in the Cosmetology Department. When in doubt, seek the ad- vice of experts. Not too long, not too short. And don ' t tell anybody. The mirror cannot tell a lie unless it ' s in a fun palace. Registrar Earl A. McDermont faces facts. What ' s gone is gone. But why that quizzical expres- sion — an idea, maybe? Oh happy day! Oh glorious denouement! Meet the new man. Shalce hands with the new lool . It ' s Earl and curl. Photos in fun by James Halverson 21 Unlimited RIVERSIDE COLLEGE offers opportunity for all. The student completing lower division transfer requirements, the specialist in arts or science; the men and women who seek heightened technical or business skills — find departments designed to fill their needs without neglecting that general education which makes of a specialist a well-rounded social individual. MUSIC — Dr. Edwin Sayre, above, looking very much the amiable artist, looks out over the choir. ART — Lawson Cooper, right, surrounded by examples of student art, looks up from lecture notes. SCIENCE - James Haslam, Ruth Cooper, and Martin Brauti, left, confront the photographer in chem lab. Students in back- ground are unconcerned by the interruption. Fields COSMETOLOGY - Ars. Alice Neal and Mrs. Irma Judd, cosmetology in- structors, apply finishing touches to locks of Rita Blanton who apparently has decided that this is as good a time as any to close her eyes and relax. TECHNICIANSHIP - Denton Titus, electronics; Rudolph Horstman, con- struction technology; and Herbert Morris, auto mechanics, confer over shop problems. These departments are growing. BUSINESS - Leroy Bucknell, John Newstead, Mrs. Helen McGovern, and John Hislop, business staff members, check magic of latest addition to business machines classroom equip- ment. 23 Environmental NEWCOMER to the staff this year was Librarian Ernest Toy who, through his efficiency and good nature, was quickly adopted into the fold with whole-hearted enthusiasm. Toy soon becanne acquainted with the thousands of books and the methods of constant replenishment which have kept the college library up to date and growing. Librarian Ernest Toy, above, glances up from whatever book or periodical he may have selected from the thousands on hand. Tvi ' o of the library ' s greatest assets are assist- ants Rosa McKusick and Mrs. Dorothy A. Sum- mers, shown at card catalog. GOOD TO THE LAST DROP — Or is it? Robert L. Patton and Clifford Stickney are either jealous or skeptical as Chester Hess drains tPie cup. Time out appears to be in order. 24 Assets VOCATIONAL NURSING continued to thrive this year directed by Mary L. McFadden under whose instruction students divided their time between classroom theory on campus and actual practice at the Riverside Community Hospital. While not a part of the college campus, the hospital and its facilities for training were invaluable assets. Business studies continue in animated fashion as Fleming I. Smith, staff member, holds forth in upper pane IT ' S A TRICK — Archie J. Twogood, with fluttary wand, enjoys demonstration in physics de- partment. James Duncan apparently approves, while Lawrence Larson looks combative. 25 They Work ADULT DIVISION of Riverside College is an in- creasingly important unit serving thousands of older students who vy ant work in special fields or who wish to brush up on requirements so that they may qualify for additional classes and credit. ON FILE — Betty Breault, secretary to President Noble; Mariorie Rosenberg, attendance clerk, and Alice Smith, recorder and secretary to the registrar, are always available to help yo ' , ' OBSERVANT — Man with snakeskin tie and pene- trating eye is none other than John C. Ohmen, director of the college adult division. PSYCHOLOGIST - Lee Gladden can tell you all about why you act the way you do. His psychology classes are overflowing. LINGUISTS-Dorothy Kincell and Mr Ruth Ann Cook, Spanish and Germa Together CLERICAL STAFF members are as much a part of the college setup as the seasoned veterans among the instructors. The latter depend upon their friends in the several offices to keep them posted on the technical details. 3 i. 5 ' 1 10 If I2j 17 18 K WHAT NUMBER? - Seated at the switchboard is Lois Erwin, secretary to the guidance office. Mary Ann Stanford, part time board operator, is standing by. Everybody takes his turn with the board sooner or later. WELL PLEASED - Maurice R. Mackenzie, economics instruc- tor, is well pleased with a tape recording of some sort. itructors respectively, exchange m m e n t — possibly in English. CONFERENCE - Mrs. Stella Staley and Catharine Huntley, physical education instructors, enjoy their new quarters. - . fcl Football... ONE PURPOSE of any good yearbook is to help settle arguments that may arise years after the excitement of a particular event has died down and been temporarily forgotten. What happened to Riverside ' s football aspirations in 1954? You v ill find the ansv ers in the next few pages. For some reason football has become the most exciting of sports on the collegiate scene. As a mere game it is a moulder of moods — participants and spectators alike moving from the heights to the depths during the frenzy of a close game. Photographs by James Halverson presented on these division pages catch, we believe, the dramatic moments and the sideline color which make football games treasured if occasionally irritating recollections. SITUATION TENSE - Clyde Stephens and Joe Young watch play from the sidelines. The bench in back is equally grim. Pic- tured above, across pp. 28 and 29 are Coaches Tony Steponovich, Nate DeFran- cisco, unknown participants in argument. Water Boys Bobby Knopf and Jon Carroll and George Blatchford, yell leader. 28 ;i f :i Ventura Qussada Alfred McOsker John McLain Ray Vasquez Season 7 Pasadena 14 13 San Diego 21 Orange Coast 7 31 Fullerton 20 14 Mt.

Lasater Kenneth Freeman Paul Wakefield Carrol Doolittle Story 1954 SAW the Riverside College Tigers experience a 50-50 type sea- son, winning four games, losing four and tying one. As a team the Tigers amassed 145 points over the nine-game distance while giving up 122 points. The total number of points scored against the Tigers in losing games amounted to only 54. Of these, 47 were scored by the top three teams in the conference: Mt. San Antonio, which won the EC quite unex- pectedly; San Bernardino, and Chaffey. The Tigers finished the season in fourth place behind these three. They lost no game in ' 54 by more than 13 points. Two lost by this maximum score were the Mt. Sac and San Bernardino tilts. ,■ . LOOKS ILLEGAL - This play in which unidentified assailant makes sure that Catfish Cal Phillian fails to gather in a pass should have drawn a penalty — and it did. John Holland A. J. Wilson Ken Lake Tom Stephens EVER FAITHFUL - No game was complete, no player safe, without Doc Bordwell on guard. Off and THE SEASON BEGAN in the Rose Bowl where the Tigers to Pasadena City College, early- season pick as the nation ' s top team. Score was 14-7. Folsom scored the T.D. with Joe Rodarte making the first of a long string of conversions. SAN DIEGO was next on the practice schedule. Riverside blanked the Knights 13-0. In the last pre-conference game with GLENDALE both teams crossed the goal line three times for a 20-20 tie. MANAGERS - Lloyd Drake and Harold Brinkerhoff seem The conference season opened with Orange Coast, with the Tigers scoring 21 points in the first quarter and coasting to a 21-7 win. Cullens and B r o y I e s impressed the fans and the coaches with long gains. HONORS Quesada, left tackle, was Riverside ' s only contribu- tion to the All-Eastern Conference first team. Ricketts was given a second team placing. Sturtevant and Schimpf were high in the voting. Schimpf was named Play- er of the Year and honored accordingly on the local scene. ONE SIDE - Roger Folsom straightarms opposition and is off for long gain against Mf. Sac. M Running THEN CAME FULLERTON, defending Eastern Conference champs and still picked to repeat. The Tigers stock scored when they returned from Hornetville with a 31-20 vic- tory. Schimpf, Rodarte, Phillian and Townsend joined the scoring parade. Line play was strong. ) find all the work they do )r the team quite amusing. MT. SAN ANTONIO was next - alas! Off to a good start with a 7-point lead with Phillian scoring, the Mounties put an end visions of a clean conference record for the Tigers. All-American Ferguson passed the Mounties to a 27-14 win. Riverside scored their second touchdown in the fourth quarter. Against SANTA ANA Riverside came back full force to blank the Dons 25-0 before an enthusiastic Homecoming crowd. Ricketts was in perfect passing form, hitting for three touchdowns. TROUBLED TRIO - Paul Roby, top, Bob Moore, center, and Tony Steponovich prove that coaches lead a troubled life. Larry Schimpf Bob Broyles mi jM Robert England Walden Townsend RIVERSIDE FARED POORLY in the last two conference games against Chaffey and San Bernardino. The Chaffey game, won by the visitors 14-7, might have gone either way. Doolittle thrilled the crowd with a terrific display of broken field running in returning a punt 55 yards into the end zone. Rodarte again converted. ELUSIVE - Small but effective, Bill Cullen had moments of glory on the gridiron. Photograph at left demonstrates determi- nation and elusive tactics. CONSISTENT — Tommy Ricketts closed a remarkable athletic career for the Tigers this year. A smooth passer and hard runner in football, Tommy was equally successful on the basketball court and as a moundsman for the baseball team. Floyd Sturtevant Jerry Lovell Leroy Butler Gerald Deleo SAN BERNARDINO RETAINED the Victory Bell In the season finale, winning 20-7. England pulled down a Folsom pass for the Tiger ' s only score. Rodarte ' s conversion brought his individual point total to 20 for the year, including 14 extra points. Folsom led the team in scoring with 30, marking a successful first year in college play. Other freshmen who made starting posts were Sturtevant and Townsend. SURE-FINGERED - Handicapped by a nose injury, Catfish Cal Phillian never- theless proved again that he will be remembered as the most dependable pass receiver in the Riverside College record book. IN THE LINEUP — Panel below, left to right, presents Laverne Fariester, Joe Rodarte, Upton Henderson, Phil McKinnon, and Tom Fox. SNACK TIME DRAMA FIELD TRIP Special Events ALMOST ANY COLLEGE event, apart from classroom routine, might be classified as special. Riverside College, thanks to an alert student government and a sympathetic administra- tion, has its full share of extra-curricular activities both on and off the campus. By mid-year the Tequesquite picture file titled Special Events was full and overflov ing so that it was difficult to determine which to use and which to return to the file. We selected a good lively photograph of the cheer leaders as one division page picture because most special events are launched with enthusiasm. To facilitate makeup and printing, special events are presented in two sections of which this is the first. Doings of the day are set forth more or less chronologically. FAMILIAR SCENES - At right, Pat Chap- man, Ginger Smith, Sheria Olson, Marilyn Thomas, and Roberta Stuart take wing from in front of the outdoor stage, scene of many an exciting pep rally or student body conclave. Dance band in back- ground awaits turn to add pep. In panel across pages at top you may recognize, left to right: Sylvia Farber, Jerry Oliver, Daniel Symar, Donna Shirk, Bill Cullen, Evangeline Durr, Colombo Allen, La Fern Harris, Frank Gonzales, Don Gray, Don Lansing, Camilla Baugh, Mike Worthley, James Powell, Ralph Johnson, Joyce Hercer, and Ann Maccub- bin. 36 VOLLEY MARKSMANSHIP Up and INITIATION posed no fear- ful problem to these first year students. Looks as if they may have saved a little money on cleaning bills — at least for a few days v hile the Sophomores had the upper hand. This definitely is not another fad. It happens every year. Theory is that old clothes and novel cos- tuming in general helps to reduce restraint and intro- duce conviviality, friendli- ness, and comaraderie. Social climbers in this pic- ture — the recognizable ones at least — include Evangeline Durr, V i n c e Dempsey, Phil Cicala, Carl Brague, and Carol Radcliff. MEN WITH PULL - They say it takes pull to get ahead, especially in such a game as tug of v ar. Sophomore (the capless crev ) won the contest. As usual their good feelings got the better of them and they let the frosh doff their caps for the rest of the year. 38 Down MY WHAT PIE! Jerry Oliver knows what ' s good. His expression is an eloquent testimonial not only to the filling but to the crust. Pies, like many other good things, are prepared by the staff of culinary experts in the Tiger ' s Den — then quickly downed. Eating is not the only recreation the Tiger ' s Den has to offer. There ' s al- ways the juke box, for example, and a corner table where you can exchange the latest gossip. Just for the record the cafeteria is operated on a non-profit basis. Lines are long at the lunch hour, ganging around the short order end steady. CAPPING CLIMAX - Downfall of the Frosh was only a split second away when this photograph was taken. Note coeds in background observing contest. Tug of war was only one of numerous initiation week activities that gave newcomers ideas for next year. 39 Winners NEVER, students, faculty and spectators said, has there been such an inspired and consistently snappy parade as featured Home- coming Day this year. The floats and the queen candi- dates were stunning. Competition between candidates for queen and for best float, sponsored by the fraternities and campus organ- izations was keen and exciting. On these pages we proudly pre- sent the winners: HEARTS AND FLOWERS - Kappa Upsilon and Gamma Nu combined to enter a float that tied for first prize, with Louise Love, their queen candidate, as a major attrac- tion. PUDDY TAT - Junior Lions entry, with catchy slogan and Ginger Smith, was not to be denied. Judges were puzzled so they made a popular move by splitting the first place award. MEET THE QUEEN - Nancy Rae, Delta Chi Delta pledge, was crowned queen at half-time celebrations during the game with Fullerton. She looks happy, and who wouldn ' t be? SPEED TO VICTORY - A clever idea and striking decorations, in- cluding the girls, won honorable mention for Delta Chi Delta. The lucky fellows are Tom Ricketts and Larry Schimpf. Girls are Patty Huber, Dixie Hogan and Pepper Jackson. 40 ) TOT I TaW PUDDY TAT High Life WHAT THEY WON ' T think of next - college students we mean. Could be that the sobering contact with books and with instructors, exacting their toll of confinement, heighten explosions when the student seeks an outlet during off-hours. For example, we give you on this page an intimate scene, left, of Freshman Week hi-jinks, an argument at a dance, and the inevitable rally par- ade headed by plush cars and waving coeds. THE EGG AND I - Vic Karidakes, Joe Rodarte, Ken Lake, Gay Hood, and Jim Hildebrandt wait for the plop. LAST WORD? - Fritz Ledfors and Coke Meir exctnange points of view. ' EASTSIDE, WESTSIDE :E tj: , ■X . Jf- and Laughter THE PAUSE that refreshes is essential if the pace is to be maintained, and what better subject could you choose to illustrate the point that the coed on the right, mildly amused but reserving judgment on the passing scene. Below we see another coed, obviously elated about a paper and making her own contribution to the high life of the campus. At bottom moves that parade again, this time ap- proaching the UCR campus. Moods are merry. REFLECTIVE - Dolly Pendleton isn ' t quite sure just what to think. TIDINGS OF JOY - Can It be an A on a theme that causes such rejoicing, or could Eileen Stefanek be singing? AND ALL AROUND THE TOWN SWEET NOTES — Choir msmbers include, first row: Barbara Murray, Herman Vil ers, David Ver Plank; 2nd row: Marilyn Thomas, Jeannetfe Low, Damon Kirkpatrick, Rita Blanton; 3rd row: Donna Owen, Carol Porter, Lori Cody, Frank Burch- field, Ann Maccubbin, Valorie Brown; 4th row: Don Gray, Charles Bryant, Joe Patterson, Mark Bowers. Formations COLLEGE LIFE is tied in with group activities, formal and informal. At left, for example, note the dignity of the choir and brass quartet as they appeared in the Christmas Concert. The choir was heard in numerous productions and programs. These in- cluded the operetta, Lowland Sea, and the drama, Anything Goes. Other pictures on these pages present segments of the student body in vociferous moods. High in the air at right is Marilyn Thomas. Occasion was the pre-San Bernardino game rally. Noteworthy at lower right is a portion of the band, backs to the Pit wall, aiding in a booming rally. KIBITZERS — Pit tables and benches are favorite perches for those who get there first. In foreground below are Leslie Berry, Bob Moras, Jerry Lovell, Sally Martin, LaVerne Fariester, Tommy Ricketts, Alvin McOsker, Barbara Boyne, and Nate De Francisco. Band members at right are Jim Jackson, Sydney Lansing, Jack Dodson, Jim Troxel, David Ver Plank, Mary Thomason, and Charles Bryant. - A 1 Mi . ! ' ' - Play PETTICOAT FEVER, a sub-tropical farce under the capable direction of Chester Hess was the first play pre- sented by College thespians. As usual, a new constellation of stars was discovered to sparkle during the season. SCENES — Above, Ronald Pritchard casts a surreptitious glance presumably at the petticoats of Bonnie Williams and Yvonne Bonsall. At left, Gerald Barnhart appears both warm and reflective. Turning point below shovy s Ronnie spurning the designing Yvonne. Bonnie Williams, Jerry Oliver, the pompous Britisher; Jerry Nelson, Anglican preacher; and the three Eskimos, Mary Ann Stanford, Gerald Barnhart, and Sylvia Farber, look on. Time FEW PEOPLE REALIZE the importance of light- ing and stage sets. For Ethan Frome five different sets and many changes of lighting were necessary. Direction was by David AAac- Cuish, talented newcomer to the faculty. ALOFT — Edward Hrbacek and Dave MacCuish man the spots. Below: Bob Flood, in character, helps with the set. EVERYBODY LIFT - Adrian Grieve, Alex Castillo, and Lyie Christensen lend a hand above. Curtain call below presents Robert Flood, Sylvia Farber, Don Stone, Yvonne Bonsall, and Don Gray. ■ m % ■ Larry Schimpf Marion Alley Annette Crouch Pat Chapman Organizations THE SOCIAL MAINSTAY on any campus is its organizations. At Riverside College these groups break up the monotony and add the flavor of v ' eli balanced life to the academic world. Organizations help the new students become more easily orientated to the ways and social activities of our campus. President and delegates of the off and on campus clubs and organizations represent the Student Body in the Cabinet. Larry Schimpf heads the cabinet aided by Secretary Annette Shippee and Mrs. Mary E. Wallace, Advisor. Main function of the cabinet is to discuss problems pertaining to the Student Body. Many recommendations are passed on to the Executive Board. In this section, representing the campus organizations at Riverside College, are the following: Cabinet, Executive Board, Tiger Times, Tequesquite, Pompon Girls, Cheerleaders, Band, Choir, Social Chairman, Finance Committee, Assembly Committee, Publicity Committee, Freshman Class Officers, Sophomore Class President, A. M. S., and A. W. S. Officers. In the fall, football season rallies brought out the Student Body, the largest organ- ization on any campus. Even though it is made up of many smaller groups, they join together for maior school activities. In foreground here taking part in a Pep Rally, are John Winterbourne, Dave Busch, Kenny Lake, John McClain, Rudy Godejohn, and Jerry Lovell. 48 Gay Hood Shirley Hackett Harold Waldron Mrs. Mary E. Wallace ■ •J , ' : ii Executives YOU SEE HIM everywhere — Morris Eaton, that is, A.S.B. president. He knows what ' s going on and so do his aides on the Executive Board, for it is their business to arrange for a widely varied, lively, and constructive program of extra-curricular activities in the name of the student body. In this photograph Morris in the leopardish sports shirt sits at the head of the table. The mood is a little sombre — almost glum, you might say, as If the subject under discussion were pretentious indeed. Or it might have been that everybody was hungry and a little tired, for a leader must sacrifice much of his spare time in the interests of the group — particularly during noon hours on a college campus. PROBLEM — Executive Board members pause reluctantly for their picture. Business is pressing. Around the table, clockwise, are Joyce Hercer, Beverly Griffith, Sylvia Farber, Joe Rodarte, Morris Eaton, Ralph Bradshaw, advisor; Marge Foster, Larry Schimpf, Tom Fox, and Sheria Olson. i ' . « ' ' ' ■ ] tar- TEA TIME TALK - It isn ' t so much the tea as the talk that makes social get-togethers sponsored by the Associated Women Students successful events. Each year, for example, the A.W.S. gives an informal tea welcoming new women students. In this picture we find Bertie Stewart, Beverly Griffith, Marilyn Thomas, Janet McMillan, Ginger Smith, and Nancy Hart. They look happy. WORK TO DO - The A.W.S. Board is comprised of six hard working coeds from the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Object of the organization is to help create friendship and co- operation among all students on campus. This year ' s amiable president was Beverly Griffith, supported by Joanne Arends, Pat Hammett, Lois Ritz, Betty Clark, and Jackie Christo- pherson, all pictured. FOR MEN ALSO — What goes for the women students, goes for the men too, with a ilTTle less tea of course. Front row includes Joe Patterson, Bob Alvarado, Roger Payton, Don Henson and Vic Karidakes. Standing are Jim Martin, Rudy Godejohn, Steve Dowd, Buddy Thomas, Richard Hendry, president, and Joe Watson. 51 Tiger Times WHOSE BLOOPER? - Advisor Arthur Knopf, with burdened ear, and co-editor Bob Flood, enioy a typographical error, no doubt. Spring shift of the Tiger Times from bi-weekly to a weekly publishing schedule had RC ' s journalists working constantly to meet deadlines. The reckless abandon with which reporters and editors were seen dash- ing about campus securing news gave indication of the even more hectic activities taking place in Room 28, editing headquarters and general yarning center. Co-editors Robert Flood and Melvin Gauntz hurled orders to scribes, berated feature writers, harassed columnists and cartoonists and persecuted photographers with an air of professionalism that astounded even Advisor Arthur C. Knopf. Wednesday lab periods were scenes that would have held even the most ex- perienced journalist in awe. Clacking typewriters, flying copy paper and clip- pings, reporters swishing in and out, arguments over rewrites, and the dicta- torial manner in which the editors ruled their roosts all added to the flavor of the Tiger Times, financed of course by the advertising genius of Dean McColum, business manager. When Flood left at the semester, Mel picked up the Gauntz-let and carried on aided by feature writer Bob Flick, society editor Lori Cody, sports editors Don Harp and Loren Mitchell, reporters Donna Owens, Larry Young, John McLain, and George Wager, plus a well rounded staff for other doings. As is always true with publications, the work was continual from September to June, but so were the bull-sessions and exchanges that are rewards in themselves. Then there was also the weekly day of judgment and the discovery — alas! that the typographical error would have to be in YOUR OWN STORY. Why didn ' t it happen to somebody else? Yes, Mr. Knopf, it won ' t happen again. Glenda Sweeten WHERE IS IT? - It must be in the closet. Everything else is. Frank Dotson conducts a search. 52 CLICK-CLACK-KLUNK - This machine is stuck again. What ' s a paper without a reporting line? Apparently concentrating are Mary Beth Diederich, Lori Cody, Donna Owens, and Ann MacCubbin. COPY RIGHT? - Jerry Oliver and Mel Gauntz give the copy a once over lightly with heavy pencils. PAGE PROOFERS - Jim Hildebrandt and Paula Blankenship are reading p age 1 proofs although you might not know it from the picture. For what they didn ' t catch they will catch plenty later. HAIL THE ARTIST - You might say that a man who wears a beret is laboring under a handicap, but not Mike Spafford whose art and humorous ideas pepped up the pages. Looking on are Cy Cicala and Dean McColum. 53 THREE OF A KIND — All excellent photographers. The coy one is Kenneth Middleham, instructor. Bill Speck and Jim Halverson don ' t always look this jubilant. Sometimes the subjects are late for an appointment. AND TWO MORE - Kim Frinell and Harry Grant take a stance apart. When you get too many photographers into the same huddle, the hair can fly. Tequesquite IT TAKES FINANCING — Not to bring up mundane matters, but a good advertising staff is what a book can ' t do without. Presenting Gene Kuykendall, Barbara Porter, Jerry Barnhart, and Esther Aguilar- PICTORIALLY SPEAKING we believe that this year ' s book has some un- usual features. Particularly, the staff liked the numerous series-type photographs submitted along with a constant flow of good shots by the photographers. The staff started green, became blue at times, but emerged with a rosy glow, and thoroughly familiar with such terms and obligations as lay- out, dummy, and deadline. Co-editors Anita Deiss and LuAnne Dieterle were elated with photo- graphs by Bill Speck, Jim Halverson, Kim Frinell and a few contributions by Harry Grant. Former editor — now teacher Kenneth Middleham stood by. Advertising Manager Gerald Barn- hart, assisted by Marylee Phillips, Joe Aguilar, Pat Hammett, Esther Aguilar, Barbara Porter, Gene Kuy- kendall and miscellaneous editors, completed the least glamorous job. 54 Trials DIVISIONAL EDITORS worked more or less independently. They included Annette Crouch, organizations; Shirley Cote, clubs; Tom Stephens and Mel Gauntz, sports; Pam Sylber and Susan Peacock, graduates, along with the editors who took charge of some sections themselves. Mike Spafford produced the cover design and Robert L. Patton, advisor, added a few grey hairs, but he figured they were about due anyway and was loath to blame them on the year- book. CRAZY OVER PICTURES - Anita Deiss and Annette Crouch try to decide which picture should go where. UNDER CONTROL Susan Peacock and LuAnne Dieterle are cheerfully undis- turbed. Maybe that ' s because the desk is clear for the moment. TABLE TOPICS - Below we find part of the staff gathered in the Pit where it is legal to partake of refreshments. Clockwise around the table are Robert L. Patton, advisor; Annette Crouch, Tom Stephens, LuAnne Dieterle, Anita Deiss, Shirley Cote and Pam Sylber. Gay THERE ARE TRANQUIL moods and there are moods of exuberance that should be set to music, dance, and song. These pages present some of the better known Riverside College sound making organiza- tions, pleasing to the ear and inspiring to the spirit. Vivacious and flirtations pom-pon girls are Louise Love, Doreen Fogarty, Marge Foster, Georgia Bliss, and Violet Hiem- stra. TIME IN DURING TIME OUT — Football games were onl a few of the occasions when the College Band, under the apt direction of Evan Vail, presented musical moments to entertain the student body and visitors. The band has been growing steadily from year to year. This photograph was taken during a festive game interlude when the stands and the band took over while the players took ov er while the players took a breather. «tl CHEERS BY THE CHEERFUL — Under tha leadership of rally commissioner Sheria Olson, a member of the quartet, the cheerleaders allowed never a dull moment. They are Marilyn Thomas, Pat Chapman, Gir.ger Smith, and Sheria. and Spirited SERIOUS TOO were members of the College Choir directed by Dr. Edwin Sayre. They pre- sented many perform- ances in concert and assembly programs at the college, impressively gowned i n traditional robes. Pictured are Charles Bryant, Don Fru- ciano, Mark Bowers, Frank Dotson, Don Gray, Gay Hood, Alfred Mc- Osker, Joe Patterson, Pat Callahan, Anthony Del Guzzo, G r o z y Morris, Jeanette Low, Carol Tay- lor, Rita Blanton, Paulette Priest, Valerie Brown, Nancy Phillipp, Barbara Murray, Connie Tillie, Judy Painter, Janet Har- mon, Lori Cody, Marilyn Thomas, Susie Albright, and Donna Owens. Before Action- BOB BAKER (Sophomore President) WHETHER IT BE a class party, a dance, or a sports event, the Executive Board and committee chairmen work together so that things v ill go off smoothly. The more spontaneously a program seems to progress, the more you can be sure that it was well planned in the first place. And you will also find, if you stop to look, that elected and appointed representa- tives are bustling about behind the scenes to see to it that everything is running smoothly. The leaders may not have as much time to enjoy themselves as those they plan for, but they receive satisfaction in seeing to it that the student body has a good time and plenty of happy recollections. CY CICALA (A.S.B. Social Chairman) PROMOTERS — Advisor Cecil Johnson, standing, chats with Freshmen class officers — Harry Albrecht, presi- dent; Ginger Smi h, secretary; and Chuck Hannig, vice-president. Plans WHAT WILL IT COST? - John Newstead, director of student business, helps Morris Eaton, Joyce Hercer and Larry Schimpf keep the dollar signs in place. PROGRAM SPECIALISTS - Our many fine assemblies resulted from the energetic efforts of the assembly committee. Tracking down an idea in this photograph are Vic Karidakes, Sheria Olson, Roberta Stewart, and Dean McColum. POSTER PROUD — Economical and effective are the ever-present posters. They didn ' t just grow on the trees they were sometimes attached to. Bob Alvarado headed the designers. Below are Annette Shippee, Harry Albrecht, Joan Lee, Floyd Sturtevant, Alvarado, Jackie Christopherson, Don Crisp, and Joanne Arends. 59 Progress and THERE WAS A TIME, no doubt, when prehistoric beasts grazed on the Riverside College campus. That was long before hygiene, history, and physical education became required courses. Things changed in time, slowly at first, then faster and faster. Man began to plan systematically for his well-being and protection. Schools were conceived to foster and develop intelligence. Groups of leaders were chosen for their vision and ability. One moral is that schools didn ' t grow like trees. They are planned step by step, and as populations increase and new ways of learning achieved, additions and changes are made. In the picture below, eyes fixed on the towering wall of the new Polytechnic Auditorium that will also be used from time to time by the college are members of the Board of Education — planners supreme. They are Richard B. Hampson, Jr., Mrs. E. M. Bonnett, Lewis P. Alabaster, Mrs. Gladys T. Babcock, Superintendent Bruce Miller (pointing), and George C. Pooley. Order TAKEN FOR GRANTED are the tasks so well performed by kitchen staffs, gardeners, custodians, and others who maintain order and teach the lessons of cleanliness in the most practical of all ways — by example. Campus life without an occasional cup of coffee, a good lunch regularly, neat paths, hallways, classrooms, and gardens would be uninspired and distressing. HIGH, HIGH, HIGH Up on a wall, watching the bricks go by. Workmen near the top layer of new auditorium for school and community use. CREAM? — No, just sugar. Mrs. Edith Schlobohm visits urn for a re-fill. Cafeteria counter displays good foods daily prepared by excellent cooks. HALLS WELL - At least Jessie T. Martin and Robert Saylor, custodians, are not distressed at the moment even if they do begin each day by picking up where they left off the day before. Students and instructors alike could improve their housekeeping habits. A TEA A SALE A PARTY Clubs FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS clubs are a traditional part of campus life. What members go through to remain in good standing is almost limitless. From the ridiculous antics of initiation and memorable snapshots of the occasion to the solemnity of formal initiation there are times, places and moods that won ' t be forgotten. Most important are the associations. Club membership means getting along with people, and this isn ' t always taught in the classroom. The purpose of this section is to recall the faces of your friends and possibly some of the events that you will recollect in years to come. See, that ' s George with the glasses, third man from the left, second row. He married Helen and they have six children — just imagine! CANDIDATES — What ' s an event without a queen and what better support for a candidate than club sponsor- ship. At right are club choices for Homecoming Queen. Around the circle are Louise Love Hildebrandt, Nancy Rae (the winner), Marilyn Thomas, Ginger Smith, and Carol Yohonn. Tea takers above are Carol Taylor, Darlene Pierce, Letha Banister, Mary McFadden and Fleeta Kimbrell; sales group, Cy Cicala, Mary Ann Henderson, Blanche Flowers, and Don Stafford; party, Carolyn Mitchell, Marge Foster, Richard Hendry, and Jim Busch. 62 AND A PARADE . .

Basketball has had its full share of such moments, contributing an almost legendary background of dramatic incidents. This year will be remembered as the season when Coach Glenn Gilkeson ' s Tigers, struggling desperately and unsuccessfully to climb out of the Conference cellar, played a game that more than made up for all their losses. In the closing game with San Bernardino, partly as a tribute to Coach Glenn Gilkeson, retiring from active coaching by his own request, Riverside played an inspired game. They surged from behind in the last moment to send San Bernardino home with their chance for a conference championship in ruins. (Details elsewhere in this section). All photographs on this page were taken by Jim Halverson at the San Bernardino game. Team Manager Ronnie Sutton is shown on bench, top, left foreground. TENSION — Coach Gilkeson imparts time-out instructions in huddle. Mounting tension shows in faces of Richard Rein- bold and Ken Krivanek.

The year marked the end of an illustrious career for Gilkeson and introduced to the fans the highest J.C. scorer in the state in the person of freshman Jerry Dueker. SCRAMBLE — Tommy Ricketts goes after ball in tangle of arms.

These two were followed by 14 straight losses, with the champion Fullerton Hornets ad- ministering the most decisive set- backs. As the season neared its end. River- side arose and dumped the Santa Ana Dons, 64-60, after losing to the same team earlier, 76-61. The win stimulated more spectator interest, and the fans began to take notice of their fast-improving team. With Gilk leaving his post after the San Bernardino game, the team was determined to give him a win over the second-place Indians as a retire- ment present. In the fourth quarter, after they had finally gone ahead, the Indians learned that Fullerton had been upset and that by holding their lead against Riverside they would share a three-way tie for the conference leadership.

Coach Gilk (He kept on smiling) Jubilant THE ANNOUNCEMENT that San Bernardino need merely hold Riverside for the closing minute or two worked in reverse, for Tiger fans and players alike rose to the occasion for a stunning 73-68 win. Jubilant onlookers aided the team in parading Coach Gilkeson off the floor, and he was still smiling when he came out of the showers, even if he was not exactly dressed for the occasion. Dueker was named to the all conference second team, with Roger Folsom and Kim Frinell given honorable mention. The season was unimpressive statistically. The Tigers won four and lost 16. They averaged 60 points per game against 73 by opponents. To incoming Coach John Matulich, 27-year-old ex-UCLA Bruin and former assistant frosh coach at UCLA, the future should look rather promising. With Dueker, Folsom, Bob Flick, Don Bolster, Ken Krivanek and Dick Reinbold all eligible for another year, basketball fortunes may have shifted back toward the winning side.

Some have a hard time keep- ing their minds on studies. Those who have it the hardest are the ones falling in or out of love. Next, perhaps, are those who can ' t seem to get going while the leaves are budding. They stare off into space or lie flat on their backs contemplating the wonders of nature or just plain dozing — you can call it spring fever if you wish. Of course there are plays and dances and confer- ences and all sorts of special events during spring, the most Important of which, depending upon how you look at it, is spring vacation itself. Much of a ye arbook must be enroute to the press by the time spring events are at their height, but we saved a few pages just to prove that it ' s a busy season. DREAM DATE — Dream Date king and queen Harry Albrecht and Beverly Griffith, reign at the DD Dance held at the Mission Inn — an early spring student body highlight of the social program sponsored by the Asso- ciated Women Students. 84 ' HO-HUM KEN LAKE JIM MARTIN, ALL AT SEA Everyone IN SPRING a young man ' s fancy doesn ' t lightly turn to thoughts of German.

Below, preparing to sell dance admissions in their home towns are Ginger Smith, Mrs. Wallace, Larry Schimpf, Larry Bow- en, and Joyce Hercer. Don ' t splash me or I ' ll splash you Same old gag between these two. Early in the spring semester the A.W.S. sponsored a Chatterbox Luncheon to greet new women students on campus. At the long table below are Kathy Hum- phries, Elaine Fentzling, Mrs. Stella Staley, Esther Aguilar, Doris Porter, Lois Ritz, Jackie Christopherson, Joann Arends, and Grozy Morris enjoying the friendly atmosphere of the college patio. Anything Goes MAJOR PRODUCTION of the year was Cole Porter ' s musical come- dy Anything Goes. This difficult undertaking was made possible through the combined efforts of the music, drama, and modern dance departments. Preparation for this production involved many hours of diligent rehearsing by students and instructors alike. The sets, seemingly simple, required ingenuity and a great deal of maneuvering. Here Yvo nne Bonsall trims her Oriental mustache while scanning last-minute changes in the musical score. Night Must Fall, a humorous murder, was presented by the drama department on May 6th in an assembly. LARGE CAST — The large cast of Anything Goes, below, included Paula Blankenship, Don Fruciano, K a t h y Humphries, Allee Mock, Jerry Barnhart, Diane Weatherford, Don Gray, Marion Alley, Donna Owen, Evangeline Durr, Ronnie Pritchard, Lori Cody, Valerie Brown, Dan Matchett, Bonnie Williams, Yvonne Bonsall, Barbara Mur- ray, Sylvia Farber, Grozy Morris, Jerry Nelson, Val De Geus, Elaine Fentzling. Sailors are Joe Patterson, David Repp, Daryl Canady, Charles Bryant, Francis Hadden. il . VENTRILOQUIST (Simon Gonzalez Junior) SONGSTRESS (Pafty Huber sends audience) SKITS AND STUNTS (Sally Herrera Gay Hood) n Assemblies ON ITS ANNUAL TOUR t h e traveling assembly entertained many appreciative audiences in the county high schools. The production, under the apt direc- tion of Chester Hess and Evan Vail, was to give the high school students a glimpse of activities at Riverside College. Here we see Evangeline Durr, Paula Blankenship, Elaine Fentz- iing, and Ginger Smith in one of their modern dance numbers under the d i r e c t i o n of Mrs. Stella Staley. l-t ' k i ' M Conference 1955 will long be remembered by Riverside College student officers, for the Quadrangle served as center for planning and hosting numerous conferences, including that of the California Junior College Student Government Association. The CJCSGA meetings v ere conducted at the Mission Inn with more than 60 colleges represented. Earlier, Riverside was host to the Eastern Conference spring conclave which brought 150 delegates to the campus. Two annual visiting senior days were also booked during spring. Counselling and entertainment programs were provided for Poly High prospective graduates and later for Riverside County high school seniors. PLANNERS - At left, Ralph Bradshaw, Gil Lockwood, Marilyn Cerda, and Mrs. Mary Wallace confer about one of the many student gatherings for which Riv- erside College was host. Scrounge Days Moods expressive and fashions never seen before characterize the annual Scrounge Days event sponsored by the GIA Fraternity. Those who depart from tradition by wearing traditional clothes, may or may not return home in one piece — depending upon their ability to dodge and take shelter. Spirit of SD is illustrated at right by Annette Crouch, Jerry Nelson, Ginger Smith and Gene Kuykendall. Another spring event that kept things lively was Sport Shirt Day, introducing this time an unusual and unscheduled feature. The coeds, large numbers, took it upon themselves to appear in Bermuda shorts. YOU LOOK STUNNING, MY DEAR — Scrounge Day costumes and poses are well illustrated in the panel below. Left to right are Bill Anderson, Paula Blankenship, Sally Peeler, Tom Fox, Tom Gunderson, and Alan Spafford. APPRAISAL Spring UNPOSED ACTION shot of Avery Tucker, coaching from third base in Fullerton game, expresses one mood of spring. Vociferous batter with lusty swing (note foul tip) is Royce Ernest. Above, Jerry Nelson, star high jumper, is caught in actual competition during trackfest. rtpp ss ' itf T ' -•4 APPROACH LEAP REFLECTION Sports WITH NINE CONSECUTIVE conference victories under their belts and only three games to go (at press time for these pages) the baseball team was setting a startling and most gratifying pace. The pace was no more gratifying, however, than the conference championship within grasp of the golf team, likely candidates as well for all-state honors. As April turned the corner and May came in with a thick overcast of dampish clouds, the tennis balls were flying and trackmen were tucking away their equipment after a season of few records but great enthusiasm. Coeds, too, what with badminton tourneys, bowling, archery, modern dance programs and other events, were equally active. MOUNDSMEN — Strength on the mound was largely responsible for Riverside ' s excellent showing in Conference play. Left to right are Jim Gilbert, John Ewart, Bruce Lane, Kenny Cox, and Rudy Garcia. Baseball... NOT UNTIL MAY 6 at Orange Coast, did Paul Roby ' s pace-setting Tiger nine drop a conference game and slip into a tie for the leadership with the coast team. Previously Riverside had taken all opponents in stride, and was going strong with a 4-0 lead through the fifth inning in the O. C. encounter. Then things happened all too suddenly, and Jim Gilbert, ace hurler, sidelined with an injury, was unavailable to stem the tide of hits that broke a perfect Conference record. With only two games to go, against Mt. San Antonio and Chaffey, the Tigers appeared headed either for a possible play-off championship game with Orange Coast or no worse than second in the final standings.

CONCERN — Looking worried during a crucial moment of the second Fullerton game are Coach Paul Roby, foreground, and his assistant, Bruce Wilson, a former Tiger team member. SEASON HIGHLIGHTS included Loren Mitchell ' s homer with the bases loaded in the second Santa Ana game and a rousing double by Bobby Munoz that brought in a winning run in the last half of the ninth against Fullerton. Only the week before Bobby, in the Mt. Sac. game, had made a circus catch for the last out when the Mounties had two on base. Good balance all ' round made the 1955 nine one of the best in River- side ' s diamond history. Former County stars included Bruce Lane, Banning; Munoz, Coachella; Don Westbrook, Perris; Schimpf and Ernest Salgado, Corona. (For last minute news on baseball results see Page 134.) Vk j-a OBVIOUSLY, a pitching staff needs strong support in both outfield and infield. Spectacular catches, rousing double plays and a minimum of errors testified to the all-round efficiency of the squad in general. With gloves raised, below, are outfielders Roger Folsom, Bobby AAunoz, Don Westbrook, Russ Fromholz, and Joe Benitez. Poised to scoop up an infield smash are Royce Ernest, Loren Mitchell, Don Heath, Mitch Salgado, and Dick Miller. Bob Tebelskis takes a powerful cut at the ball in photo at right. Frank Ceja Golf UNDEFEATED and virtually sweeping the Conference clean of points, Riverside ' s golf team coached by Glenn Gilkeson seemed headed for a loop championship at press time and possibly greater deeds in the all-state tourney. Led by little Frank Ceja, the top five men took turns in the 70 ' s. Scores to date: Riverside 16, Chaffey 2; Riverside 8 ' 2, Fullerton, 6 ' 2; River- side 15 ' 2, San Bernardino 2Vi; Riverside 22, UCR 14; Riverside 15, Mt. Sac. 0; Riverside 15, San Bernardino 2; Riverside 14, Chaffey 1. (FOR LAST MINUTE NEWS SEE PAGE 134.) GOLFERS — Linksmen at rigtit are Marion Alley, Dean McColum, Bruce Buckelew, Bob Preston, Coach Glenn Gilkeson, Jim Coil, Pete Parker, Owen Roger, and Jim Martin. NETMEN — Man vi ith sports shirt is Ron Sutton, tennis team manager. Standing are Don Nixon, Jerry Dueker, Bill Waite, and Coach Bill Dae. Crouching are Bob Murphy, Rae Solburg, Don Harp, and Larry Nelson. Tennis NETMEN were ill-fated i n dual meet competition but were favored to make a strong showing in the Eastern Conference champion- ship tourney. An 8-1 win over Citrus and a close 5-4 loss to San Ber- nardino were the most en- couraging dual match results. FOR CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT RE- SULTS SEE PAGE 134. Track and TRACKSTERS OPENED the season with a dual meet win from Palomar, thereafter lapsed into a 25 point scoring average against conference teams. While the squad was not strong, except in one or two events, there was a definite upturn in track and field interest, with promise of continued improve- ment next year. Main season attraction was the appearance of the S. C. Frosh team in a triangular meet with Mt. San Antonio and Riverside on Wheelock Field. Stars such as Mai Whitfield, Olympic half mile champion, Jim Lea, national 440 champ, Jerry Varnell, former Poly 440 record breaker, and others drew a crowd as guest performers. Even Dean Cromwell, former S. C. Varsity headman, took in the meet. TRACK BUSINESS - Above, left, Student Manager Paul Wakefield scans the field from scorer ' s stand. Discus tosser is Bob England. Below, left, study in lines presents Phil McKinnon flying over pole- vault bar while Cecil Stalder, f aculty official, dives to retrieve pole. Photographer Jim Halverson, intrigued by Stalder ' s agility, took several pictures. Field BEST MARKS were posted by Bob England and Jerry Nelson, consistently over the bar at 6 feet and occasionally 6 ft. 1 in. England was the only Tiger to place in the Conference nneet, tieing for second in the jump. England also showed much promise with the discus, his tosses ranging from 125 to 130 feet. Phil McKinnon, scored in al- most every meet with his vaults of more than 1 2 feet. Larry Tate, after tossing the javelin about 180 feet in the opening meet with Palomar, nursed a sore elbow but still gathered many points. Joe Watson hung up the fastest sprint mark with a 10.3 hundred against Palomar. Lyie Christensen, Jim Doshier, Gary Israel, A. J. Neal, Harold McKnight, Joe Rodarte, and Gene Vaughan also hit the scoring column in their respective events. MEN AND MEETS — Coach Tony Steponovich chats with Olympic Champion Mai Whitfield below. Whitfield was guest star. At right above, McKinnon makes ready for runway approach to vaulting pit. Others are Larry Tate loosening up for javelin throw, Joe Watson and LyIe Christensen exchanging notes after sprint race, and Gary Israel all set for heave with shot. Women ' s Sports WITH THE NEW college gymnasium completed this year, opportu- nities in physical education have widely expanded. Men and women alternately share the practice floor for badminton and basketball, while the special room for modern dance is always filled with exotic music and women in black. Outside, high fences surround the black and white tennis courts; against the steep hill rising behind the gym, arrows fly toward the bull ' s eye. Here (at left) Lois Streeter and Vi Hiemstra rehearse in the traditional leotard. SHIFT SHAFT — One of the many outdoor sports in the college curriculum is golf. Below Dave Sherringhausen of the Fairmount Course instructs Lu Anne Dieterle in the fine art of the chip shot as Joann Peterson, Ivy Shearer, Janice Shackelford, Ann Maccubbin, Bill Cullen, Anita Deiss, and Jim Coil look on raptly. f u ' ' 9 - T, k . . li ' N THE NEW GYMNASIUM is m o r e than just another building many- minutes-away. It has broadened the opportunities available to every student on campus. Among the new courses made possible for women are pom-pon and self-de- fense. Fencing, also a new class, provides the thrill of a novel ex- perience as well as grace and balance. Besides golf, another off- campus course is bowling. Below — Beverly Brinton, bowling ' em over, sends a sure strike down the alley. Archery requires a steady hand and a keen eye. Concen- trating on bow and arrow are Beverly Griffith, Jackie Christo- pherson, Cy Cicala, and Marsha Wade. AT REST — With foils and masks are Robert Archibald, John Winterbourne, Donna Shirk, Jeanne Ross, Janice Shackelford, and Carole Yohonn. ACTIVITIES HUMOR FOOD Graduates LU ANNE DIETERLE, valedictorian, and Mike Spafford, salutatorian, above, believe in a well-rounded diet v hich, naturally enough, consists of a great deal more than books. Lu Anne, in addition to her way with studies, is editor of the Tequesquite, a task made immeasurably more pleasant by her ever-present sense of humor. Then, too, you can ' t work on an empty stomach. Anybody else want an ice cream cone? Mike Spafford, art major, has the artist ' s flair for ideas and creativity without being over-tempermental. Naturally a man ' s choice of reading matter is his own business, and then, too, you can ' t keep up the dizzy pace without an occasional siesta. TRADITIONAL SCENE - This is how tlie Quad will look the night of June 16 when 136 graduates make their last offi- cial appearance on the campus as mem- bers of the student body. The photograph, taken mid-way in the program last year by Kenneth Middle- ham, demonstrates how night can be turned into day if you know how and where to set the flash lights. 102 RESEARCH CREATIVITY RELAXATION 5 - • ¥w« f 4- , Ik. rW r% • . - n -|..  .s« Class of ' 55 ■ '  =3rt ' Colombe V.

Graduation marks the time when an institution such as a college begins to fade into the background — a time v hen one must take forth that which he has gained as a student to determine how well it can be applied. It is a time for a parting of the ways, but not a time for forgetting what a college has meant and will continue to mean. ni n This Issue Acheson and Graham Funeral Directors 117 Avant ' s 121 Brown Engine Rebuilding Co. 120 The Californian 130 G.

The match marked the third straight year that the RC team has been unbeaten at Victoria, and it climaxed two years of unbeaten play by Coach Gilkeson ' s links- men. Their last lost was to Orange Coast over two years ago at Huntington Beach. Scores in the final conference match were: Ceja, 73; Preston, 75; Bucklew, 77; Martin, 79; and Rogers, 80. LATE BASEBALL When Jim Gilbert suffered a leg injury in a practice game at San Diego- Riverside ' s Eastern Conference baseball title hopes faded. The Tigers dropped their last three games after winning nine straight to end in second place back of Orange Coast. Scores of the closing games, the last played on May 13, were Riverside 7, Orange Coast 13; Riverside 5, Mt. San Antonio 9; Riverside 2, Chaffey 9. LATE TENNIS The tennis team, after rather a dismal dual meet season, came near springing one of the major upsets of the year when the Eastern Conference championship tourney was staged on Riverside ' s fine new courts. The Tigers were nosed out by a single point, 9-8, with Fullerton taking the crown. Highlight of the season was Larry Nelson ' s come-through performance. As first singles he reached the finals and was nosed out by Bill Reed of Santa Ana in a thrilling three set match, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. Nelson and Don Harp also reached the finals in first doubles, losing to Fullerton. 134 FINIS One last salute To all our friends, For on this page Our struggle ends.
