Jeremiah Beverly Li I lard ' s shadow has been in many places and probably will be cast in many more for years to come. The thought that saddens is that it will not fall on the science wing or language department nor on the Indian museum, which are so dear to his heart. President Lillard was born in Santa Barbara, California, on a hot July day in 1873. Young Jerry was reared on a cattle ranch in Marcos Pass near Santa Barbara, where the rugged, outdoor life he lived laid a good foundation for his later archeological expeditions. His honors and degrees begin with the A.B. he received from Stan¬ ford University in 1899, continue with an A.M. from the University of Southern California in 1911—teaching positions in four different col¬ leges: University of Southern California, University of California, Uni¬ versity of Michigan, and the Sacramento Junor College. President Lillard has co-authored two books, entitled: Archeology of the Deer Creek-Cosumnes Area, and An introduction to the Arche¬ ology of Central California. He has also written many professional magazine articles. Now, with deep regret, we say farewell to Jerry Lillard. He is going from Sacramento Junior College after seventeen years of active service. His every thought has always been for the student. To him the 1940 Pioneer is dedicated. VJ LEST 1 WE FORGET . . . RALPH TOBIN 1920-1939 ANDREW STATHOS 1919-1939 DR. HORACE J.

GLADYS WHITAKER FLORENCE BLISS Sacramento, Calif. POLITICS Politics is a great game as played in college. While a little vitriol occasionally creeps in, most of it is aired in private, campaigns wax furious without the slinging of mud. Most furious was recent student body election for spring semester. While Kahn, Caspari, Lighty, Schwing, each created bandstands with handholds for climbing on, Caspari ' s picked up the most speed. Political plums come in the form of appointments to the Booster or Rally Committee. Policy disagreements rarely make a difference in who gets appointed. Class representative heads do the active work, their co-workers usually aren ' t. FALL STUDENT COUNCIL Student council forms a closely organized clique which runs college social and student business affairs. It is not impossible to break in, however. Some strangers gain entrance but townies usually form nucleus of governing body. Executive officers are elected. Appointive members gain seats thru representation of groups, are important in advisory capacities. Most interest is centered on council at election time when competition is keen. Otherwise many collegers don ' t know who council members are. Men, women, freshman and sophomore class are represented by elected members. President Alex Palandech had active fall reign. Rep¬ utation for looks on the council was upheld by Vice-President Dot Marincovich and Secretary Mary Ethel Starbeck, Women ' s Represen¬ tative Patti Palmer. Business Manager Galliani was a real worker. Chairman of Activi¬ ties, Caspari; Elections, Sevey; and Publicity, Adams, were prominently active.

SPRING STUDENT COUNCIL Sping council rode along with all the trappings of a circus wagon going someplace, although nobody seemed to know where. Preaching liberalism, though arch conservatives in regard to spending money to accomplish a purpose. President Caspari made an excellent leader. Wally Hall, business manager, John Sevey, men ' s representative, both hard workers with something to say once they got the floor. Hal Graves stood out as a good parliamentarian. Good ideas were often wasted bucking against a stone wall of shortsightedness. On the other side of the picture the council did accomplish a successful extra-curricular program to please the majority of the student body. Many students expressed themselves as well satisfied.

Plans also were made for Retiring President Lillard to be presented with a gift from the sophomore class.

There is still a lingering thrill in seeing one ' s name or story in print. While total publications in the junior college are two — the Pony Express and Pioneer — unauthorized brainchilds frequently creep in. These usually take the form of mimeographed namecalling, properly anonymous. Occasionally the proofreader slips, in the sma ' hours at the North Sacramento Journal, where the Pony is printed. For the most part, however, the paper must remain guardedly conservative, except in makeup style. J. ROY ELMS DON TAGGART JOHN T. CLARK KRAMER ADAMS ( PONY EXPRESS Campus was devoid of its Horse Press this year, only extra¬ curricular was one issue of printed Bandwagon, playing up rooters 7 train to San Francisco. The Pony Express carried on as the college ' s regular weekly newssheet. Editors Elms, Taggart, and Clark shared reigns up to Pioneer press time. No revolution came about until editorship of Clark, who changed style and instigated policy of stumping for student placements and Student Union, played up prominent alumni. Jaysee journalists have more than their share of grief in battling an irate editor on one hand and news-bearing publicity seekers on the other. They likewise have their share of worldliness with being on the in, to them one being worth the other. Business managers Johnston and Dravis bearded advertisers in their own lairs. Dravis, especially, did a yoeman job. DOUG MARTIN TH MS MENDES TED FORBES ART SPIELMAN MARJORIE TREGELLAS BOB BLAZEJACK TONY DR AVIS ZO ANNA NEVIUS i PONY EXPRESS Staff Positions, 1939-40 J.

Skeletons along the way consisted of broken deadlines and lost sleep. Things got off to a late start, punctuated with undue, tho not unprecedented, worries. Publication as an actuality was threatened for a time with a mini¬ mum of sales. Enough were finally mustered to assure a slightly smaller book. Editor, business manager, faculty advisor, all were tackling prob¬ lems quite new to them, each being new to his job. The staff consisted of only a few but willing students. As was expected, however, obstacles were finally smoothed over. Greatest worry for a time was supplied by the missing Queen photos, received at the main office, unceremoniously swiped.

In the so-called pure arts there is every sort of drawing, painting, sketching taught. Then there are the weaving, leather- craft, sculpture, etc. Band and Glee Club spread fine publicity at football games, concerts, tours. A Cappella Choir, which has grown to professional stature in a few years, ranks with any college choir on the Coast. The symphonic orchestra undertakes the more difficult classics, proves what youth can do in modern music. The Dramatic Art Department receives very favorable reviews in a field in which, more than most others, it takes years to acquire proficiency. MERCHANT OF YONKERS Bob Bagley as Horace Vandergelden buffooned his way thru a Keystone Kop routine when the Merchant of Yonkers was presented October 25-26, with people in cupboards, under tables, masquerading in girls ' clothing, and with a grand cafe-wrecking scene. As Vandergelden ' s pretty niece Ermengarde, beauteous 1939 Pio¬ neer Queen Gevean Matheny gave a performance that left local experts praising its maturity. Harley Hill as Burbrose, her intended fiance, Jack Levrero and Joseph Lynn playing two clerks, Cornelius and Bar- naby, respectively, were polished in their lines. Irene Johnston characterized shrewd Mrs. Levi. The farce by playwright-author Thornton Wilder is the type of play described variously, Grand foolishness, grandly done, and It would be difficult in these serious days to find a finer recipe for dis¬ pelling gloom, by Broadway columnists. Top: Jack Levrero shouts something into Yvonne Trask ' s eager ear, lower right; Harley Hill, Geveipn Matheny, Arline Weatherhead; Levrero, John Ireland, Joseph Lynn Center: Levrero Phyllis Perry, Beverly Tibbals Lynn, Bob Baqly. Lower: Levrero, Ireland, slightly curious about Lynn ' s proposal of marriage; Lynn and Miss Perry. Top: George Gibbs and Emily Webb; the stage manager advises the two mothers on bewildering offspring; a scene in the cemetery. Lower: The wedding, in which the stage manager performs the rites, George and Emily look at the moon from the upstairs windows while the ladies stand outside the house. Note the lack of scenery. OUR TOWN As a stage manager Peter Knoles (of American I. fame) didn ' t have much of a chance to show what he knew, with only limited scenery. But as a philosopher made famous in this second Thornton Wilder hit, he stole the show. The simple, homely lives of the people in Grover ' s Corners was, in the opinion of many constant city playgoers, the best that Sacramento Junior College has had to offer for a long, long time. Why the vehicle itself won the Pulitzer prize in ' 39 is no mystery. Boyish Jack Hume assumed the role of George Gibbs; his sweet¬ heart and later his wife was enacted by Yvonne Trask as Emily Webb with both skill and pathos. There was a gripping note in the last act when Emily, dead from childbirth, returns in spirit for a while to earth and the remaining members of her family, but she finds that life must still go on, and that she will be happier in not being allowed to return to it. Mrs. Dane ' s Defense, English comedy, played two nights to half¬ full houses. Bee critic Scofield commented that the acting was rather well done, the play itself unimportant ' ' Yvonne Trask and Bob Bagley carried the lead roles. Supporting players were: Phyllis Perry, Irene Johnston, Vera Broder, Beverly Tib- bals, Jane Tucker, John Ireland, Joe Lynn, Newell McMullen, Frank McDonald, Cecil Bishop, Jack Hume. Top: Beverly Tibbals, John Ireland, Irene Johnston, Bob Bagley; Yvonne Trask and Cecil Bishop Lower: Bagley, Franklin MacDonald, Miss Trask, Ireland; Jane Tucker, Newell Towne, Miss John¬ ston, Joseph Lynn. Forty-eight Top: Rev. Wood appeals to the almighty. . . . What ' s this, a monopoly? ... At least two of them seem happy. Lower: A struggle with Rochester ' s mad wife. . . . Strictly domestic scene. ... An apparent offering of elderly advice. JANE EYRE Gloomy settings which mark most of the Bronte works were to be found in Jane Eyre, the play taken directly from the novel by Charlotte Bronte. Phyllis Perry enacted Jane Bob Bagley, Rochester. John Ireland was St. John Rivers; Jane Tucker, I liana; Irene Johnston, Mrs. Fairfax; Yvonne Trask, Rochester ' s mad wife. All left no doubt as to their sin¬ cerity of performance.

JUNIOR COLLEGE ON THE AIR As a radio group, the junior college class grew up last semester. Through the State Department of Employment they helped dramatize a program called Matching Men to Jobs, which was presented Mon¬ day evenings. The program itself was on a mature basis, directed by KFBK and the Department. When jaysee voices were too youthful, outside talent was called in. More often students were able to fill the parts. Before undertaking this project the class put on the Radio Work¬ shop. This was completely done by the students, from script on up. It began as a serial, was quickly changed to a series of separate plavs. Fifty JUNIOR COLLEGE ON THE AIR Dr. Richard H. Reeve of the English department successfully launched his Opportunities for Youth on its third year over KROY. The program has proved to have real listener interest for colleges, public alike. Guest representatives of the different departments are called on to demonstrate the departments ' training and results, Dr. Reeve con¬ ducting. Elizabeth Hoyt successfully auditioned for Patti Yost ' s ' ' Campus Reporter, ' ' on KFBK, which Miss Yost left upon graduation.

In most of the games, though, the final score did not present a true picture of the actual struggle between the Panther and its foe. Blessed with a line averaging 200 pounds and a backfield composed of speedy 175 pounders, the Solons had little trouble in pushing their opponents all over the field. Down in pay-dirt territory, however, it was a different story as the Panthers seemed to lack the scoring punch so essential to a winning team. Local hopes for a championship season were dealt a tremendous blow a week before the first game when Bob Libbee incurred a fractured leg in scrimmage. Counted on heavily by Mentor Applequist to bear the brunt of the attack from his left halfback post, Libbee was lost to the squad for the entire season. Standouts in the line during the year were Don Welcher, giant end who played brilliantly in all games; Mike Windsor, a block of granite at guard; Olin Willard, immovable iron man; Art Spielman, all-confer¬ ence center; Nick Poplawski and Jack Dorr, powerhouse tackles; and Ray Overhouse, Bob LaVine, Paul Parker, Dave Brown, and Chet Carsten. Many all-star backs studded the Panther roster with Eddie Camara ' s name heading the list as chief path-clearer. Teddy Forbes, Louie Colla, and Carl Chapman did yeoman work at quarter, with the rampaging George Rainone doing most of the ball carrying from the fullback position. Dick Dierker, Gene Harris, Harry Terrell, Jack Lercari, Sam Lugonja, Vernon Higbee, Ross Mandalla, and Bud Beustad took care of the wing- back slots very nicely. Sacramento, 0; Chico State, 0.

Applequist, Gene Harris, Manager Gordon Severance, John Mills, Sam Lugonja, Coach Bill Sim, Nick Poplawski. FOOTBALL dally open the season. Since 1922, Sacramento has won nine, lost five, and tied four with the Staters. Chico has not beaten the Panthers since 1929. Diminutive Teddy Forbes led the Panther attack and was easily the best ball carrier on the field. Carsten, Spielman and Captain Windsor were the bright spots in the line. Being the first game of the year for both elevens, it was cautiously played with frequent exchanges of punts. Each team was content to lie back and wait for the breaks that never came. The Panthers were outplayed during the first half but came to life in the final period to drive twice within the opposition ' s ten yard line. A frantic, last-minute field goal by the locals was missed and the game ended sans score. Sacramento, 6; San Francisco Junior College, 19. Accompanied by five hundred rooters on a special excursion train, the Panther varsity gridders journeyed to Seal ' s Stadium and were decisively beaten 19 to 6. The Rams had things pretty much their own way throughout the evening and completely bottled up the Crimson ' s scoring thrust. The only Sacramento score came as a result of a blocked kick. Don Allen recovered the coveted pigskin and raced 30 yards to the score. The attempted punt was blocked by Overhouse and Poplawski. The game was highlighted by the magnificent running of Johnny Gray, San Francisco fullback, who personally accounted for 13 Ram points. Gray and his cohorts had little difficuly in outrunning the slow ends and were continually being brought down in the secondary. Louis Col la presented a spectacular punting exhibition in addition to his getting away for some nice runs. Sacramento, 6; California Aggies, 12. Bringing to a close the traditional rivalry between the Jaysee Pan¬ ther and the Cal Aggie Mustang, the combined forces of Messrs. Nitta, Marioni, Flerinter, et al., were too much for the Capitol City team who were again frustrated in their third attempt to crash the win column.

The Panther score, resulting from an Aggie fumble and a guick pass to Lercari from Chapman, started the Mustang ball rolling and the Solons hardly saw the pigskin during the balance of the evening. Eddie Camara stood out for the Panthers in his dual role of block¬ ing back and line backer-upper. Sacramento, 19; Stockton, 0. Snapping out of their prolonged losing streak, the Red and Gold smothered a much lighter Stockton Jaysee by a three touchdown mar¬ gin with George Rainone doing the lion ' s share of the ball carrying.

II FOOTBALL in their previous contests, the local Panthers rose and smote the marauding Modesto Bucaneers for a three-touchdown victory. Although Modesto outgained Sacramento and made more first downs, the game paid off in total points scored. The Pirates com¬ pleted 11 out of 20 passes against the weak Panther pass defense, but could not get the ball into scoring territory. George Rainone scored first for Sacramento when he galloped 18 yards behind perfect interference. Rainone again scored in the third quarter on a series of line bucks. The final touchdown came in the last quarter with Harry Terrell, fleet-footed halfback, racing 16 yards to the score. Willard, Spielman, Welcher and Overhouse kept the Modestoans continually in hot water with their brilliant line play while Rainone, Terrell and Buestad upheld the laurels of the backfield. The kicking of Carl Chapman was very much in evidence as he amassed an average of 40 yards per punt for the Panthers. Sacramento, 0; San Mateo, 0. Playing their best game of the season, the Red and Gold Panther walked all over the conference champions from San Mateo in the Armistice Day game played in Sacramento. The only thing that the locals lacked was the scoring punch. Applequist ' s boys garnered 18 first downs while holding the Bull¬ dogs to a paltry 2; gained 285 yards from line of scrimmage to their opponent ' s 80; and completed 14 out of 24 passes. Don Welcher stood out in the Panther line and proved to be the best ballplayer on the field. His thorough coverage of punts caused the Bulldog safety men no end of trouble. Acting captain Olin Willard and Paul Parker came through in fine style in their line positions. Sacramento, 13; Pasadena, 21. Although the Panthers completely outplayed their rivals in all de¬ partments, they were unable to cope with the bullet-like passes of the widely-heralded Jake Leicht and went down to defeat for the third time. Statistics show eight first downs and 170 yards for the Bulldogs. A trio of passes by Pasadena ' s Leicht started the scoring in the ■3 FOOTBALL second quarter after a mild first period. The southerners added another three points just before the end of the half making it 9-0. Sacramento retaliated by intercepting a pass in the third stanza and then sending George Rainone over the line on straight bucks. In rapid succession the Pasadenans pushed over two more scores to put the game on ice. A last minute pass from Carl Chapman to Harry Terrell netted the Panthers six more points and the scoring was brought to a halt. Sammy Lugonja rated the limelight for the Panthers on his brilliant playing together with Rainone and Terrell. Sacramento, 6; Los Angeles City College, 13. Once again completely outplaying their opponents but lacking a scoring punch, the local Panthers entrained to Los Angeles over l hanksgiving vacation for the last game of the season. After the L. A. Cubs had scored twice in the early stages of the game, they were all through for the evening. The Panther s came back roaring in the final half but were only able to garner a lone touchdown. Don Welcher was credited with the score when he rambled seventeen yards on an end-around to paydirt. With Lugonja passing and Welcher on the receiving end, the Sac¬ ramento gridders romped up and down the field in the second half only to be disappointed at the payoff window. Eddie Camara treated the fans in Snyder stadium with another of his stellar performances at his left halfback position. Ed was the steadiest player on the field with his thundering blocks and booming tackles. Although losing four games during the season, the Panther board of strategy, consisting of Sim, Weldon, Mercer and Applequist, do not consider the season as complete a fizzle as records show. With a majority of first stringers returning, the Panther overlords have a pretty certain idea of the personnel of the 1940 varsity. Even in games that the Panthers lost—games that could have been easily won—the power of the Crimson freshmen represented a fairly accurate criterion of the merits of the 1940 grid machine, which should be a winner.

Football After two tilts billed as championship affairs, the Butchers and the Flying Dumb¬ bells were still deadlocked, both games ending in tie scores. A scoreless tie was registered in the third tussle. The intramural football title was finally decided when the Flying Dumbbells eked out a 7-0 win over the fast-stepping Butcher aggregation. The margin of victory proved to be a pass from O ' Shaughnessy to Pete Ures early in the contest. Basketball With sixteen teams entering the intramural basketball tournament it was neces¬ sary to divide the league into three divisions. The Folsom five looked like champs at the opening of the season but were eliminated in the semi-finals. In the finals the Miks, a small, scrappy team of Japanese cagers, won a close decision from the Boogie-Boogie quintet 15 to 14 to close the season. Ninety-two 1939-40 SEASON BASKETBALL By Ted Forbes COACH GLENN MERCER After a none too successful practice season, which saw them lose a goodly share of contests, the Panther basketballers came back to finish the season in championship style. The most outstanding series of the many practice tilts came early in the season with the Chico Wildcats, in which the Crimson Wave split a twin bill with the favored visitors. Led by Lawrence LeBoeuf, former Grant Union High School star, the Sacramento J. C. outshot the Chico State Teachers to win the second of a two game series, 36 to 29. The Panthers lost the first game, 52 to 44.

BASKETBALL For the first time Coach Mercer found a winning combination with LeBoeuf and Bob O ' Shaughnessy handling themselves like seasoned veterans at the forward spots. Vernon Higbee seemed destined to hold down the pivot position after his sparkling showing around the offen¬ sive basket. Bottomley and Adee turned in spectacular guarding as they held Art Swenson of the Teachers to a minimum of one point. Coming close was not good enough for the barnstorming basketball team of the junior college as they failed to win a single basketball game on their trip south during the Christmas Holidays. Although the four games that they played with Pasadena and Long Beach junior colleges, Chapman College, and U.C.L.A. reserves were all good ball games with close scores, the locals were not able to come out of the skirmishes on the long end of the score. In the U.C.L.A. games the locals found themselves playing against four of the Bruin varsity players. They proved a little too much for the Panthers, handing them a 38 to 41 defeat. Losing their first three conference games to Marin, Santa Rosa and Placer Junior colleges, the locals pounced on Yuba County J. C. for their first conference win 17 to 43. From this point on there was no sto pping the Mercermen, who seemed to have suddenly found new life. The San Francisco Rams who gave the Panthers little trouble, mainly because of the aggressiveness and sharp-shooting of Bob O ' Shaughnessy. Bob tanked 15 points to pace the basketeers to their second consecutive win, 35 to 44. Showing more class and self-confidence, the Sacramentans dis- ALEX SOURIKOFF JACK ADEE BOB O ' SHAUGHNESSY n BASKETBALL played an entirely different brand of basketball than when the season opened. Victories over San Mateo, Menlo, Salinas, San Francisco and again over the Strong San Mateo team gave the Red and Gold a mathematical chance for the Conference title, something that the local institution hadn ' t had since 1932. Needing two wins over the strong Modesto Pirates to assure them¬ selves of a tie for the crown, the locals played their hearts out to hold the Pirates even in the first half. However, in the second half it was all Modesto, as the Indiana importations took the contest going away 37 to 23 along with the Northern California Junior College Conference crown. The second game was with the Modestans, an indifferent affair, with the Panthers definitely out of the running. They played listless basket¬ ball with the much needed spark and fire missing. The final score favored the Modesto school 29 to 38. The season ' s end saw Coach H. Glenn Mercer resigning as head basketball coach, a position which he had faithfully held for ten years. His assistant, Ned Kay, was appointed to fill the vacancy. Mercer transferred to the business department. Mercer usually started the contests with Bob O ' Shaughnessy and Ted Forbes at forwards, Alexander Sourikoff at the center position, and Leonard Bottomley and Jack Adee at the guard posts. These were awarded their letters, together with the following substitutes: Clyde Mourfield, Lawrence LeBoeuf, Henry Busekist, Francis Stolle, and Art Spielman. Leonard Liz Bottomley was honored at season ' s close by being elected captain of the 1940 team.

BASKETBALL Ninety-six 1940 SEASON VARSITY TRACK By Art Spielman Interclass Meet Annual Interclass meet ended closer than most every¬ one planned it would, as Weldon viewed his 1940 pupils in competition for the first time early in March. Lee Angelich, hurdler, was the only freshman to cop two first places in both high and low hurdles. Zupan of the upper- class men ran in first place taking the 100 and 220 yard dashes. The Sophomores took eight first places to five for the freshmen. Eldee smiled with anticipation of another championship year as he scanned the good times and distance of the initial meet. Sacramento, 82; U. C. Frosh, 40. For the third consecutive year the Weldon Wonders broke into limelight with a decisive victory over the Cali¬ fornia Freshmen. It was all Sacramento as the local cindermen took 9 first places out of thirteen events. Lee Angelich proved consistent as he won both high and low barriers. Sacramento proved to be a well rounded squad by taking every place in the low and high hurdles, and the broad jump for clean sweeps. Other first place men were: Zupan in the century, Welcher with the shot put, Higbee in the high jump, Cooley, Dierker, and Flood. Weakness was evident in the relay as the Bear Cubs won in the time 3:28.8. Bottom, reading to top: Ray Overhouse, Mike Zupan, Harry Terrell, Jr., Bob Bagley, Ted Forbes, Jack Long, Coach L. D.

The Crimson harriers took to the road as they spent a week-end in the south drubbing the over-rated Pasa¬ dena Bulldogs. It was the fifth straight victory in as many starts for the Panthers. Co-captain Walter Flood again paced his team as they scored first in seven events. Flood threw the discus 142 feet, 2 inches. Vern Higbee jumped 6 feet, 3 Vi inches and nearly cleared the bar at 6 feet, 5 V 2 inches. Welcher put the shot 45 feet, 10 inches for a new meet record.

TRACK Sacramento 82 1-3; Modesto, 38 2-3. In the last meet covered by this year book we find the Capital Panthers waxing the Modesto aggregation in a night encounter. Sacramento swept four events to bolster the hopes of another Championship in the Con¬ ference relays to be held one week hence in Modesto. Two conference records were bettered by Modestans as Merrit put the shot 50 feet, 9% inches, and Oaks sailed the discus 146 feet, ICP 2 inches. Zupan turned in his best time of the season as he was clocked at 9.8 in the century, and took first in the 220 dash. Cooley scaled 13 feet, 2 inches in the pole vault, securing a possible first place for the conference. Clinton White, surprised by winning the broad jump with a 22 feet, 51 2 inches performance. As the deadline cuts the track season in the year book short the Weldonites are earnestly preparing to make it seven out of eight championships for their coach. On May 4, all Northern California Junior College Con¬ ference teams will participate in this track and field event at Modesto. On the following Saturday, twenty of the Panthers are entered in the Fresno relays, and on May 25 the outstanding members of the Crimson cinder- men will be sent to the P.A.A.U. at San Jose. Winding up the usual good season, Coach Weldon will endeavor to take top honors in the Second National Junior Col¬ lege meet held at Modesto on June 1.

BASEBALL Coach Bill Sim ' s initial call for baseball men brought out a large but untried squad of prospects. Returning for another season of competition were only six men from the 1939 Panther team that shared Northern California Junior College Con¬ ference honors with Modesto. The veterans included infielders Freddie Schmidt and Clyde Mourfield, pitchers Fred Kirtlan and Chet Carstens, and George Rainone and John Flynn, utility men of the previous year. Clyde Mourfield was moved in from short to solve Sim ' s receiving worries and a strong team loomed in the offing. Doc Stolle, a hard-hitting transfer from, Stanford, cinched the first base job. Two little men, Pete Ures and Al Androvich, were ably taking care of the duties around second base. Schmidt was switched to shortstop. Glen Dufour left nothing to be desired at third base. Sacramento 4, Santa Rosa 3 — Sacramento 2, Santa Rosa 5 With only four days of practice under their belts, the Panthers split their first league double header with the Santa Rosa Bear Cubs on the William Land Park diamond. Ken Kipp was effective in the first game, allowing the visitors just three hits. Wildness on the part of the Sac pitchers gave the Saints five runs in the first inning of the second game. Sacramento 3, Modesto 4 — Sacramento 8, Modesto 5 Ken Kipp started for the Panthers and gave way to O ' Shaughnessy in the third BASEBALL after giving up three runs. O ' Shaughnessy pitched shutout ball until the tenth when two walks, a double steal and an outfield fly gave the Pirates the game. The second game was a repetition of the first until the extra eighth inning. With the score tied at three apiece, the Panthers broke their base hit lethargy and scored five times. A triple by Stolle with the bags loaded featured the inning. Car- stens hurled the win. Sacramento 4, San Mateo 3 — Sacramento 7, San Mateo 5 Going into the ninth inning of the first game trailing by two runs, the Panthers ral lied to pull the contest out of the fire. A triple by O ' Shaughnessy and a single by Mourfield, plus a couple of costly boots in the Bulldog infield gave the game to the home forces. Kirtlan and Knezovich shared the mound chores. Ken Kipp, on the mound for the Panthers in the second game, had things all his own way as his teammates spotted him plenty of runs. He struck out five and walked only two. Sacramento 5, Marin 1 —Sacramento 5, Marin 4 The Sacramentans were hitting their stride by the time they came up to the Marin games and sent the Kentfilders home on the short end of two games. O ' Shaughnessy pitched three hit ball in the opener and was never in trouble. Kipp and Knezovich were responsible for the win in the nightcap, but only after an anxious final two frames. Dufour led the Panthers at the plate with three hits. Top row: Sid Bottomley, Fred Kirtlan, Pete Ures, Doc ' ' Stolle.

Bottom: Ted Greenhall, Freddy Schmidt, Salinas in action, and Ed Rooney BASEBALL Sacramento 9, San Francisco 2— Sacramento 5, San Francisco 7 The Panthers went to San Francisco primed for a climax series. The Rams were leading the conference one full game ahead of the Sacramentans. Coach Bill Sim started Bob O ' Shaughnessy on the hill and he shackled the hard¬ hitting bay boys with four hits and two runs. The infield behind him sp arkled with five double plays and the sluggers really went to work in the pinches. The Panther infield went to pieces in the first stanza of the second game and gave the Rams six runs on just two hits off Paul Knezovich. The Panthers could not quite make up the deficit against the San Francisco ace chucker, Hvidt, although they scored twice in the second and three times in the fifth. Sacramento 12, Salinas 2 — Sacramento 9, Salinas 1 Bill Sim ' s baseballers remained next to the top notch in the league as they hung a double defeat on the Salinas Jaysee in two home games. Bob O ' Shaughnessy pitched a seven-hit game to win the opening game, while Fred Kirtlan held Salinas to two binales in the second. When this goes to press the season will have been two-thirds complete. The Panthers are in second place in the league standing behind the San Francisco Rams, with nine wins against three defeats. The remaining contention for the Crimson club is to come from lower division clubs. Hopes are high for another championship season. One Hundred Four { A CREW By Ralph Robison The 1940 Panther Varsity Crew has well earned its title of Championship Junior College Crew of the World, by competing against some of the finest rowing clubs of the Pacific Coast. The ' 40 year found the Varsity crew spending most of its time in traveling over 2800 miles from Los Angeles to Seattle, Washington, winning races over major universities. Top: Coach Glenn Mercer ready for crew in his new eleven passenger launch; first boat; third boat; second boat. Lower: Waiting for the race; Manager Lyle Goodnight; Coxwains Bowen and Owens. March 23 gave the varsity and jayvee shells their first taste of crewing when both shells raced against the barnstorming Oregon State varsity. The jaysee varsity swept to an easy victory over the Oregonians with the jayvee placing third in a 3000 meter dual on the Sacramento river. The time was 7 minutes and 20 seconds. Top row: Ed Taylor, Ralph Robison, Bert Grigsby, Tom Carrico. Lower: Darrel Prouty, Bill Burdick, Jim Farley, Dick Sinclair. CREW March 29 was set aside for Crew Regatta Day at the Junior College, but rain and flood waters forced Coach Mercer to postpone the Cal frosh race until April 10. However, the Crew Weight Dance went on schedule for a great evening to the music of Buster Peart ' s Band. The first Crew Queen was voted upon by the varsity boat with Beth Askew winning the honor. The dance funds sent two varsity shells south. April 5 was the day on which Coach Mercer ' s five year old hopes were satisfied. Both varsity and jayvee shells made a clean sweep of the southland. Th varsity beat the Bruin varsity shell by three-quarters of a length, setting a new school and course record on the Ballona Crew 2000 meter course. The jayvee nosed out the Freshmen by 10 feet in a preliminary race. April 10 spelled defeat for the Panther Crew when the Berkeley Frosh took the varsity shell for a three length loss, and the jayvee followed three lengths behind. An On to Washington tag sale sponsored by the local Crew Club financed the ' first boat on their trip north to match strokes with the Oregon and Washington crews. April 17, in a return race with Oregon varsity, the Capitol City crew found it diffi¬ cult to get started. Three attempts proved futile as mechanical difficulties in the borrowed shell caused One Hundred Six I I � I CREW postponement of the race. The contest took place on the following day as the jittery visitors rowed to a length and a half win over the Oregonians. April 18, the following afternoon, on Lake Washington, the Panther ' s Varsity came from behind the two Washington Lightweight crews to accredit themselves with another victory. They won by a half length on a 2000 meter course, in 6:43.5 bucking a head wind. April 27 in a triangular regatta on the Oakland Estuary, the local crews wound up their season with California. The preliminary races found the Cal babes dumping the Panthers for a length and a half win over the third boat, and a two length lead over the third boat, and a two length lead over the Panther jayvee in a 2000 meter sprint. The main event found the Panther varsity with an early lead, only to upset and lose by a length and a half to Cal. Compton was far behind the Panthers for a third.

More than 4400 spectators attended the 38 elimination bouts. Finals were on the night of May 1. Ernie Thormahlen continued to reign as heavy¬ weight champion as there were no entries to challenge his 1939 title. In the 175 pound event Glenn Hellewell, rugged crewman, decisioned Louis Brinson. The sluaaers ' battle of the evening came in the 165 pound division as Al Gateley won a decision over Paul Moore. Johnnie Lynd. gave a good boxing exhibition in the 155 pound event as he earned a decision over Joe Newby. Tommy Jordan tallied a close decision over Bob Cole, 145 pound class. The 135 pound class turned out to be the most interesting battle of the evening with Pete Pritchard decisioning Bob Pardi. Ted Lambert of the 125 weight class lost an easy decision to Ernie Galliani. A listless bout featured the 115 pounders as Shig Okada decisioned Tom Fong. William C. Sim, director of intramural activities, was in charge of the affair. Ned Kay announced, Eldee Weldon refereed, and head coach, Hack Applequist judged. One Hundred Eight priori t SKIING-FENCING The 1940 Panther Ski team has again been acclaimed State Junior College cham¬ pions by virtue of their wins over all opposing junior colleges and high standing in recognized Pacific Coast Competition. In a meet sponsored by the University of Nevada Ski Carnival, the Sacramentans took ninth place with mostly Pacific Coast schools offering competition. Two weeks later in the Pacific Coast Champonship meet at Yosemite, Obexer and Foresbeck led the jaysee boys to fourth place. Sixteen coast schools entered the met in which California, Stanford, and Nevada placed 1, 2, and 3 respectively. For the second year the Northern Junior College Conference was annexed by the Capitol City Skiiers. Field at Siskiyou, the Panthers scored above Modesto, Placer, Marin, San Mateo, and San Francisco Junior colleges. Finally in the Vanlderbilt meet sponsored by the University of California, the Crimson squad placed 4. It was held at Sugar Bowl. Graduation smatters the winning group as Obexer, Flonn, Morris, Flickinger, Zorich, and Foresbeck have completed their two years of eligibility. Fencing The intramural fencing eliminations are nearly over for champions out of three of the largest classes ever enrolled in the foil and mask sport. Under the able tutelege of Anthony Zallio a varsity and second team traveled to San Francisco State and lost to the state champions. Depner, Rivett, and Mertsching make up the first three for the varsity team and Harr, Ireland, and Moore compose the second squad. Both trios contested i n San Francisco.

GOLF-TENNIS Golf Ineligibilities and leaves taken by key men failed to daunt the 1940 version of the Sacramento Junior College golf squad as it tackled the most ambitious schedule ever assembled for a Panther links team. With a new head coach in Ned Kay, the defending conference champions lined up home-and-home engagements with Modesto and Yuba Junior colleges, the Uni¬ versity of Nevada and San Francisco State College and local high schools. Duke Nassoiy and Ernest Gibson carried the Nos. 1 and 2 banners for the Pan¬ thers, respectively, and stayed pretty close to par figures while meeting the best that the opposition had to offer. Othr members of the team were Jack Wiard, Bill Golding, Rod Clark, Carrol Dunn. With all important clashes attended to and only the conference meet in Modesto remaining, the linksmen show a total of eig ht victories against five defeats. Tennis With the best season of tennis ever scheduled now in progress, the Sacramento Panthers have made an unusually good reputation. A team of mostly freshmen have won 35 out of 41 matches during practice encounters and in the Conference have scored victories 37 times in 56 starts. Phil Nathan in fourteen single matches remains undefeated this season.

Pony Expressman John T. Clark made contact with the pilferer and returned the photos. Result: Everybody happy. JUNE HOLDEN JEAN CARTER BILLIE SHERMAN FOR REGAL BEAUTY PIONEER QUEEN Dorothy Johnson received the vote For Personality ; Billie Sherman For Regal Beauty. However , declared the letter, if you want an absolute choice it is Miss Johnson. The queen reigned over the whole of Pioneer Day. (See pp. 131, 132.) An Artist s Fantasy The veiled masterpiece of the young artist stands waiting for daylight and the judges . . . Dance of the paint tubes. ART BALL “Art for art ' s sake might have been in the mind of Art League members when they picked their pageant and theme this year. It was “An Artist ' s Fantasy. Art Ball originated fourteen years ago with John B. Matthew for most part responsible. It has grown to rather Ziegfeldian proportions 4 , since. This year ' s presentation featured special arrangements and original musical compositions done by Cliff Fishback assisted by Forrest Long. Some members of the Jaysee symphonic group joined George Breece on the bandstand for the pageant, augmenting it to 32 pieces.

Lower: Dorothy Marincovich, Ann Milotsky, Shirley Scheidel, Virginia Campbell, Patti Palmer, Phyllis Armstrong; intermission time with punch. Story of An Artist ' s Fantasy is of the well-known poor, strug¬ gling young artist, slaving away in a garret. His completed master¬ piece only awaits recognition, along with the skill of the artist. Wearied from his work he falls asleep in front of the dais on which the carving stands. On either side are the framed pictures of famed Blue Boy and Pinky. To the left are carved Grecian dancers. His dream, a fantasy, involves a mild revolution against their ordered place in the scheme of things of paint tubes and paint rags which rise and dance. The artist slumbers on thru a wild whirl of flash¬ ing colors, heady music. Then the cock crows. AN ARTIST ' S FANTASY (Continued) The elected Art Ball Queen, veiled up to the moment of the artist ' s awakening at dawn, represents the young man ' s work of art. The Grecian figures are her attendants. Pretty Jean Prittie becomes the central figure of the grand climax. Three dancing judges acclaim her prize winner in the contest, the artist (Dick Mier) a genius. This year ' s pageant reached a new high in finished performance. Proceds from the dance were awarded by a select committee to needy, talented art students. Faculty chairmen were: Elmer Plaskett, tickets; Robert Livingston, patrons; Marjorie Graham, pageant; John Matthew, decoration; Carson Sheetz, publicity; Helen Anderson, refreshments; Norma Krull, dancing and ballet; Rae Schwenk, official buyer and in charge of finances. Miss Erica Dowie made costumes. Even those dancers who were masked behind monstrous paint tubes received their share of glory. Already plans are partially completed for the 1941 opus. The Art Ball must keep looking ahead. One Hundred Twenty CANDID STOPS Pleasant weather and new faces in the fall, the campus still hot, with lawns offering a cool resting place. The football practice field alive every night with tackling, blocking, sweaty players. Then new places to congregate when the rain began, something new or different, to compensate for the lessening of outdoor activity. Pioneer cameramen followed this scene as faithfully as willing ears could pick up the news of something happening, or as fast as a lens could be trained on something picked up on a moment ' s notice. We have attempted to get in as representative a section of candids as a judicial sorting of many excellent prints would allaw. Many, to our regret, were left out because of space limitations. Identifying captions on the full pages were discarded in the belief that the pictures themselves tell most of the story. PIONEER TAKES ATRIP The unnamed doughboy who sang of the flivver ' s part in the great war, parodying Kipling, ...You ' re better than a Packard, Hunka Tin! , spoke truly. In 44 hours, 20 minutes, 18 seconds by their own claim, Jack Tilton, Wally Hall, and Kramer Adams tripped to Hollywood for the Panther ' s game with L.A.C.C. over the holidays. The ancient Pioneer Ford was the means of transportation, owned by Hall. During the visit they paraded in the halftime period of the ball game, rated stories in papers along the route (including photos in the Los Angeles Times), and sightsaw 20th Century Fox Studios. The return trip was uneventful, a mere 28 hours, 50 minutes, 45 seconds. They then declared themselves firm defenders of the flivver, Model 1940 or later.

Not satisfied with garbs that any three, eight, or 12 year olds might be persuaded to put on, many donned fairly fantastic combinations. Aeronautics came thru with quite a show. Their prize exhibit was the enormous baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. It was claimed they had to ransack the city to find the clothes. Caspari put on an assembly in the morning, dance following in the evening as usual. In the meantime errant little boys and saucy little girls skated thru the halls eating ice cream cones. Some costumes were unexplained, such as the one of the hulu skirt and a few hard luck outfits, but dressing up was the important thing. Supporters hope for encouragement in succeeding years by process of building up this year ' s. The precedent is the important thing. i i Top: Barbara Moore; Don Kahn, the dar.cin ' ist man ; George Matranga; a fisherlass. Small inset: Barbara Moor.

WOMEN ' S CO-OP Women ' s co-op house, operating on a modified University of Cali¬ fornia system, was formed in September by nine women, with a house¬ keeper. Co-op means just what it implies. Each member does an hour ' s work per day, from cleaning halls and porches to serving dinner. Most interesting feature is the fact that $5 of the $25 a month required is put aside, returned with dividends to the member stock¬ holders. Any woman student willing to enter in spirit and letter into the open membership may do so. Blanchard Hall for men is also ODerating; both houses hope for an early extension of the system. Each house elects regular officers. The women ' s house co-operates on everything except men. Menu, Buying, and House Education committees figure out items, the latter arranging for speakers on all subjects, particularly on Co¬ operative Theatres. Faculty and some non-fac ulty adults compose an advisory board which administers policies. One Hundred Twenty-eight ROOTERS Top left: Card stunts in the Cal-Aggie halftime period.

PIONEER DAY Pioneer Day was revived after two years to become one of the most successful days during the spring semester. Sacramento, like most other cities of the west, is one place where persons garbed as cowhands receive no particular notice. Jayseers, like others, enjoy dressing up, as evidenced by Kid ' s Day, which preceded Pioneer Day by two weeks. Cowgirls in fringed buckskin riding skirts, and bareskinned Indians were to be seen talking amicably together. Saloon and dance hall card sharps, the town drunk, and the sheriff all seemed to get along without squabbling. Tex Rankin, ace stunt man, highlighted the morning assembly program. He spoke of his beginning in the air stunting game. Wally Hall, Kramer Adams, et al., mellerdrammered their way through an 1890 tear jerker. George Matranga emceed. One Hundred Thirty M1M— PIONEER DAY Dorothy Johnson, Pioneer Queen, reigned over the day and the dance in the evening. Popular hope that Judge Fred Waring might mention the college over his air show was not realized. Prizes were awarded for bushiest beards, best costumes, during the dance. (The winner of the afternoon ' s somewhat disorganized vehicles ' Jaloppy Race, was presented an award.) Kramer Stripes Adams ran into a real old-fashioned Pioneer licking on his twentieth birthday, or at least his assailants claimed he was another year older. Enthusiastic cow boys, pioneers, thronged the men ' s gymnasium. Howie Winslow ' s orchestra supplied the rhythm.

FROG DERBY Second annual Frog Derby honors were taken by Sam Lugonja ' s Sir Hold Tight, which carried off a winner ' s ribbon, or its equivalent, for a repeat performance of last year ' s victory. The method varied this year. Instead of having the hop in the after¬ noon in order that all the archwayers might look on, the contest was the main feature of the evening ' s dance. S. C. A. sponsored, the Derby was one of the important carryovers from the previous term, something which the society intended and succeeded in making an annual event. | The good old delicacy, frog legs, was enjoyed by nearly all the next day. One Hundred Thirfy-two NEKRASOFF Most mysterious of visitors to the campus at semester ' s beginning was the eerie gentleman above. He is Pioneer ' s Picture of the Year. His name—Michael Robert Nekrasoff, a Mr. X in a long line of X ' s. He made acquaintance with several professors who might have given a lot to know the real culprit behind the false whiskers. His avowed purpose was the overthrow of the student council by boring from within. His story found its way into the Sacramento Bee. . . Teachers have been exposed to the old fashioned tricks for so many generations. . . the students seldom catch them unawares . . . In a few classes, the teachers quickly stop calling the foreign or some¬ what unusual names when taking the roll. They are John Does in dis¬ guise, written in by the students as ' prof bait. ' A Pioneer photographer cornered him with his boring equipment, snapped this picture. Top: Joe Altic and Jack Hackiey repair an engine as part of their complete training program; Herb Kent (right) and Instructor Roy Holman. Lower: Hilton Lusk, instructor, points out the various instruments to tyros Tom Jasper (left) and Eugene Comontofski; Joe Altic watches Jack Hackiey adjust his parachute preparatory to the solo hop. With an eye to developments in Europe, the government recently evolved a plan whereby civilians might be trained against possible emergency, in the basic training required of Uncle Sam ' s pilots. Should the necessity arise, the latter would need but a minimum of finishing in order to take their places in the regular air force. Intensive examination slimmed down the list of hopefuls for the government ' s free flight training course this year. Physical, medical and academic requirements were stiff enough to eliminate a good number, many more than the 30 allotted for Sacramento. Those selected receive enough flight training to insure them their private pilot ' s license; a thorough ground school routine. Colleges were selected because of the high quality of young men enrolled. No women took advantage of the training at Sacramento Junior College. Some might be expected next year. One Hundred Thirty-four CO-OP Five men under the leadership of Carl Harvey, student manager of the Associated Students Store, work five days a week from 7:45 a.m. to 4:50 p.m. in broken shifts. Marvin Fisher, comptroller, is faculty advisor in charge of the co-op. The store is governed directly by the Board of Education with all profits going to the Associated Students ' fund. All school supplies in the form of books, paper, lab equipment, gym suits, etc. are carried by the store. This year ' s staff was composed of Ralph Thompson, Charles Palmerslee, Harry Bailey, Fred Galliani, Bryce Watson, and Harvey.

COSMETOLOGY Cosmetology made a debut on the campus during fall semester. Fifteen students registered in the beginning, 25 in spring semester. The course is open to men and women students alike, gives regular class units. Instructor Mrs. Mary Sackett, a registered operator, teaches a complete course which will enable the students to take positions in beauty salons upon graduation. There is complete equipment, consisting of shampoo bowls, chairs, dresserettes, driers, permanent wave machines, steamer, and wall plate. One Hundred Thirty-six i 1 h HOME ECONOMICS Home economics majors have had the first really successful year since inception of the department. Their social activity is centered around the handsome fireplace in the living room of the model home incorporated in their new building. R. Helen Anderson, Dr. Saidee Stark went extreme in their instruc¬ tion this year, by introducing novel courses in social arts and marriage relations. Home econ 22, equivalent of a course taught in most modern col¬ leges, was initiated, a course in marriage relations. One man signed where hundreds sign in many other colleges. Planned for women, it nevertheless may make room for the men next year. In the various courses of the new home economics building. Center: the only male majoring in home ec.

Mining majors, with their headquarters in the mineralogy building, opened a fluorescent display under artificial lighting effects to the public this year. It opened eyes to the possibilities concealed in cold, grey rocks. Mineralogy students work ail winter in lab theory, in the summer work on the lever end of a muck stick, gaining practical experience. Childhood in mining locales is not always incentive behind entrance to mining engineering. Courses sometimes get their best students from among the city breds. One Hundred Thirty-eight MINING LABORATORY ENGINEERING i Engineering was able to boast a new building this term. Taught in the college are: Civil Engineering (with several divisions). Electrical : Engineering, Elements of Engineering, Mechanical Engineering (also severally divided), and Mechanical Drawing. • Foot for foot, the campus has probably been surveyed more than any other territory in Sacramento. The most familiar part of engineering to students are serious young men sighting thru surveying instruments. One group was even observed on a rainy spring day, one man working, the other holding aloft a large beach umbrella. Like so many other courses, a fine training teaches engineering up to where practical experience begins. The background is there. 1 I Ben Jarvis, engineering student, works with surveying equipment. Lower: A draughting class. Altho Pioneer photographer Mickey Kerr alternates film and plate, here are the actual steps between a click and a picture, in reality performed in darkness. Lower left: Barbara Moor, a willing subject; upper left, washing a strip after it has gone through the developer; center top, examining for dust on the negative; adjusting the enlarger before putting down the sensitized paper; lower center-—washing the print, and finally, drying it. PHOTO LAB The Pioneer was especially indebted to the Board of Education and the city of Sacramento for providing, among other new buildings, three large and modern rooms devoted to photography alone. Where before, pictures had to be taken home for finishing, or de¬ veloped in a makeshift school darkroom, they can now be made into finished prints in a short period of time. Darkroom and yearbook offices were happily closed together, enticing more than one competent photographer to contribute his best prints for publication. The steps involved in getting a picture from an exposed film are non-mysterious and comparatively simple. That fact induces many amateurs to click shutters at odd angles, do their own developing, in the belief that they are another Hurrell or Bourke-White. Actually, the finishing of a picture is the professional ' s simplest task. Mickey Kerr, staff photographer, above performs the operation. One Hundred Forty PHOTO LAB The photography lab consists of three rooms, only one of which is constantly lighted. A small room with complete light immunity is used for the developing of negatives. With most modern, sensitive film, any trace of light will fog it, which ruins it. The second of the rooms is the posed photography and print drying room. In here photography students mount their best shots, or hang film and prints up to dry. The third is the room in which all prints are made. The vigorous I approach, or rapid entry without knocking, is usually accompanied by the same sort of exit. Upon signaling intention to enter, a person must pause and wait for the shouted, Okay! In this room are developers, printers, paper cutters, and washing trays. Only a yellow or red light is allowed, depending on the type of paper being used. Walter Vernon Smith teaches regular courses in photography. Left: Two photography students mount shots while Doris Ann Willey has her picture taken by Gail King. Mickey Kerr stands under the dryer kibitzing. Right: Top—The room where prints are made from negatives. There are several enlargers in this room. Lower: Gil Culver goes thru the motions of developing a roll. Top: The classes conduct experiments, and then, Lower: They work out details on paper. CHEMISTRY Chemistry lab work gives chem majors thorough grounding in •preparation for pharmacy, nursing, medicine. An excellent advanced course is offered. J Most of the jaysee knows chemistry only by its smells. H2S, rotten eggs to the uninitiated, often seems to be the only compound known. Minor accidents are common in the lab, one student letting a retort of nitric acid explode. Instructor Wallace Gilkey picked him up bodily, doused him in cold water, counteracting violent effects. All of which is but minor stuff—everyone being acquainted with Young Tom Edison. ... One Hundred Forty-two BIOLOGY m Visitors to the Biology wing are often surprised to see a kicking turtle or dead cat in a partial or thorough state of disrepair. Biology reasons with the theory that intimate knowledge of the func¬ tions of animal bodies must be gained thru dissection. Dogfishes are numerously used. The infinitely small extremities of the animal kingdom are studied under powerful microscopes, too. This aids understanding of disease, or the functioning of small bodies within larger bodies. Majors in biology or kindred fields graduate with thorough back¬ ground knowledge. Left: Dissecting a turtle. . . . Doing the same with a shark. ... Dr. Copeland takes some readings, an interested student looking on. Lower: Classroom lecture. . . . Study during class. Top row: Pat Sullivan, Kathryn Reed, Jane Harte, Helen Gaddis. Lower: Jane Carter Sibyl Wagner, Margaret Miller, Sally Munson, an NYA student. OFFICE STAFF Headed by Pal- Sullivan, secretary to the President, the office force is one of the mainstays of the junior college. Holding the strings of a farflung campus together is no mean job, but Kay Reed of the comptrollers office; Jane Carter, secretary to the Registrar; Margaret Miller and Helen Gaddis; clerks in the registrar ' s office; Jane Harte, secretary to the Dean of Women; and Sibyl Wag¬ ner, placement office, manage to do it. One Hundred Forty four CUSTODIANS Ask the custodians — they ' ll tell you. If it ' s about the students probably won ' t be flattering. Bill Myer, for example, is the guiding father of the Pony Express. He frequently tells them off — but only when they need it. Tom Arthur, chief custodian, has the job of co-ordinating the activi¬ ties of the whole staff. Besides commonly known tasks of sweeping and keeping the building clean, there are a hundred and two odd jobs, each demanding complete attention for the time being. Custodians are often hard put to it to refrain from advising the faculty on things which they themselves know more about; are usually on the inside of school happenings. Top: Inset—Sam Fleischman, Bill Myers, 2nd Assistant Engineer Cliff Hulbert, Chief Engineer Stewart Mac Donald, 1st Assistant Engineer Lewis S. Ross, Mrs. Moore, Henry Nicolaus. Lower: Tom Dillon, George Lang, Jack Snodgrass, T. N. Henderson (right) and Chief Custodian Tom Arthur. CAFETERIA Another campus headquarters for idle gossip and active fraternizing besides the archway, is the cafeteria. Near the holiday season cafeteria business swung upward, due to opening of the new building. More students at college were eating at school instead of bringing lunches. Comments were varied, mostly favorable. A few complained of the largeness, compared with the snug old room, but no one was heard to object to the absence of water dripping into the soup on rainy days. The building covered the bare wall of the men ' s gymnasium, helped give a more finished look to the quad. One Hundred Forty-six CAFETERIA Improvements centered about the four lanes of food serving, com¬ pared with the old system of two. An added cashier facilitated traffic on crowded days. More tables, more time to dawdle over a meal and pass the time of day with friends. There are more doors thru which to make an exit. A fountain at which it is possible to get milkshakes and cones has a separate spot to itself. This continues to do a rushing business as the weather gets hotter. Clean, well-lighted clubrooms make ideal club meeting places. Stu¬ dent council met there on Monday noons. Even outside are lounging places, for in-between classes. Top: Ray Ulm, Joyce Dunlap, Iva Lee Ba rksdale in foreground during lunchtime rush hour . . . Washing dishes in the kitchen. Center left: Meditative Mercer munches a morsel. Lower: Drinks (aqua pura) on the house . . . The soda fountain is usually busy . . . One of the four food serving lanes. Single shots of only a few in the hundreds that are enrolled in the business department of the Junior College BUSINESS The boast of the business department is an extremely high record of placement for its graduates, a boast which is justified by their fine course of training. Especially is there a demand for men trained in business and business machine courses. Employers seek out the college, and not the other way ' round. A great part of the entire student body is enrolled in the various business classes—students who help to reflect credit upon the college upon graduation. ADVERTISING Often necessary to keep making faithful trips to town again and again, listening to five no ' s for every . . . sure, I ' ll take one out ' — that ' s the advertising end of a publication. This year, as in years past, the Pioneer appreciated co-operation from a group of merchants who are on everyone ' s free charity list, but who realized that the revenue was important to the book ' s ad solicitors —to the yearbook itself—and cheerfully subscribed to some space. It ' s no fun to chase down something that the editor should have looked up himself, or to walk into a business house time and again, half anticipating the usual absence of a seemingly never-present proprietor. Sacramento is proud of her junior college, and the attitude of her businessmen has shown that. The following pages contain advertise¬ ments from loyal supporters. The continued support of advertisers is appre¬ ciated by the Associated Students of the Sacra¬ mento Junior college, and it is the business staffs hope that each advertiser is benefited by his con¬ tribution to our annual publication.

Johansen ' s Studio.Graduates Gil Culver, Mickey Kerr, Gail King, Weston Strauch Photographers M. T. Benning, Jean Chappell, Glen Fishback, James Flickinger, Bob Handsaker.Contributing photographers June Guthrie.Drawings Bob Coleman.Cover Design Gil Culver and Jerry Nash.Photography layouts Alta Engraving Co.Engraving Anderson Printing Co.Printing Silvius Cr Schoenbackler.Binding APPRECIATION An Annual is usually a project in which all hands gleefully take credit for work done by a few, but the Pioneer this year realized and now appreciates work done by many. The photographers were most co-operative. Gil Culver, Gail King, Mickey Kerr, and Wes Strauch bent utmost efforts to the good of the book. Gil was valuable not only as photographer but also as chief layout man. Thanks is also extended to Jerry Nash for helpful tips early in the game. George Ross and Margaret Deane gave publicity by their timely stories in the Bee and Union respectively. Johnny Clark of the Pony Express was willing to devote front page space every issue to the end of good publicity for the book. Ross likewise extended a helping hand in certain ways to a pretty green editor. Towards Clarence Nash, faculty sponsor, who served in an experienced manner his first year at the job hitherto held by another, there is gratitude. He was held in high regard by the staff. Joe Anderson of Alta Engraving Co. was more patient than he might have been at times when the pictures had to be pushed thru in a short time, and his expert advice and good personality were always in evidence. Johansen, photographers, worked hard on graduates, and turned out a lot of pictures in remarkably short time. Herb Silvius of Silvius and Schoenbackler, book¬ binders, did a very good job on the cover. June Guthrie, art editor, did those Disneyesque division page drawings. Bob Coleman designed the cover. To Bob Beauchamp, Charley Anderson, and Clarence Crossley of Anderson Print¬ ing Co. goes sincere gratitude for the excellent job done in a limited space of time. Jeff Smith, business manager, was quite willing to climb into the doghouse once the editor moved over. His appointment came late, but he came thru nevertheless. Altho George Caspari came into the office every day with a different co-ed, the distraction was most welcome. His attitude regarding the book was always optimistic, usually when optimism was needed most. The writer ' s instructors were tolerant of a good many cuts. The staff must of course be thanked for turning in copy, even tho it might be said not until gentle urging was administered, the sports editor excepted. To 575 of you who bought Pioneers, finally is tendered my thanks. Most people will do their share once the chips are down, and things did look pretty cheerless for awhile. Experiment becomes experience. Thanks for the chance. DON TAGGART Editor THIRTY! Here ' s thirty, and that ' s usually enough on the end of any good newspaperman ' s story. You gain increasing respect and liking for a job like the one just finished, not unmixed with a certain degree of awe. The awe is reserved for the apparent enormity of it once you are about half thru. Days when it ' s Doggone, Tag, we ' ve gotta get this book out, and Well, I ' m doing the best I can, and there are some hot words to follow if either wants to make something of it. But neither did. Sleepless nights, too. Waking up 15 minutes after you should, cramming a breakfast, arriving so late as to make it almost useless to go to class. Then it ' s another afternoon when you should be studying for a test, instead faced with the prospect of layouts to get to the engraver, copy to get to the printer. Two advertisers whom you might catch tomorrow if you ' re lucky, and costs mounting toward the top of the budget. And countless cigarettes . . . worry before getting to sleep. . . . It ' s a great life. Suggest you try it. Incidentally, can ' t you sense the idea behind an apparent lemon- flavored outlook that the whole thing was a good deal of fun and entirely worth it? Hope we turned out to sort of book you wanted. DON TAGGART JEFF SMITH
