Mx Upsilon Gamma Chi was very active. In November the annual Pot-Luck supper wa's held successfully-without macaroni. I-Iallowe'en found the halls crowded with be-ribboned girls, for it was Ribbon Day! The second semester, a new President, Viola Schroth, was elected. And in February the Upsilon Gamma Chi and the Men's Club pulled taffy and chased ping-pong balls around the cafeteria. CREATIVE WRITERS For several years there has been need for a literary club in the Junior College. Such an organization might publish a yearly collection of the creative work which would in time develop into a Junior College year- book. This plan materialized at the end of last year when a group of students under the guidance of Miss Ward and Mr. Lemos formed the Creative Writers. The organization meets for the purpose of furthering the creative work of the members-whether by writing themselves, by criticism, or by studying works of other writers. Membership in the Creative Writers is limited to students of the Junior College, including seniors. The club has been small this year, but the members have derived real pleasure from it. ' MEN'S CLUB s I The Men's Club of the junior college this year has been under the leadership of Foster Tavernetti, president, Ben Tarver, vice-president, Fred Lovett, secretary, and J. B. Lemos, adviser. The Men's Clubis open to all Junior College men, including seniors. I Its purpose is to foster a spirit of loyalty and service to the Salinas Junior College and to the community. In return for good times given by the Upsilon Gamma Chi, the Men's Club is planning a dinner and theatre party for the 'girls on May 25. This should be a big event and a fitting finish for the Men's Club few activities of the year. g 310

FROSH In any educational plant it is a Well-known fact that the freshman class is the most important of all organizations-to the freshmen. In Salinas Junior College this superior class, although free of any form of conceit, has maintained a self-pride and confidence throughout the year. In spite of many trying and irritating circumstances arising from the desire of the sophomores to carry through a program of self-expression, the freshmen have aided the great junior college in all projects-both good and bad. E-if ,1 ., ,, ,:', 4...' Many members of the class have been prominent in various irnportant organizations and events in the J. C. Bill Tatum represents the class as yell-leader. Two freshman boys had the honor of upholding their old alma mater by playing on the championship b a s k e t b a 11 t e a m-J o h n Withers and Harold Studevant.

This year two members of the Scholarship Society have attained the rank of Seal Bearer, an honor awarded to students who have belonged to the society six out of eight possible semesters. The two students who have Won this honor are Taneko Irino and Marguerite Hayward. FLASHLIGHT Flashlight this year has gone on to new heights. Several changes have been made in the paper, one of which was the placing of editorials on the second page. The most radical change on the humor page' was the abolishment of Guess Who section. Replacing this section is a more gossipy column than ever published before in the history of the paper. A new section made its appearance with the coming of the Fortune Teller. Over nine hundred students subscribe to the paper, from freshmen in high school to sophomores in junior college. This brought many diiiiculties in the type of news, but the staff came through all right. Members of the staff for the year of '33-'34 were editor, Doris Alexander, sports editor, Jim Tetrickg humor editor, Dorothy Abbott, feature editor, Mary Williams, circulation manager, june Abe, business manager, Arnold Cornettg reporters, Kathleen Rice, Ruth Appleby, Ruth Kellom, Marian Andersen, Margaret Trondhjem, Miles Holaday, Ethel Miller, Irma Johnson, Jerry Hirsch, Charles Maloney. 032
