r }) B U I T y ■ARL SAUBLH, Dai,i „t AI » Mr. John Murrin has the responsible position of mentor to the prospective Journalists try- ing out their talents on La Kiuifii and Tbc daiiery. This year we point with special pride to our achievements in art and music ' . Mr. Leo Ainyx participated in the promotion of the first art exhibits held in Salinas. Our first annual concert and first opera, Pinafore, ' brought great honor to Mr. Lorel McCann and Miss Gertrude Lowe. The other members of the faculty can report substantial progress in their respect- ive fields. No doubt Mr. Legro Pressley stili dreams of a new agricultural building, and Mrs. Hope Baxter looks forward to home economics unit on the college campus, bui. both are gratified by the steady growth of their departments. Although Miss Luella Hall anticipates with pleasure an instructor in German, more space for her social science library, and enlargement of the social science courses in number and enrollment, she is not displeased with year ' s results. Miss Ruth Rothrock, likewise, welcomes the problems inherent in the rapid expansion of the com- merce department. Being dauntlessly optim- istic, Mr. Louis Eris challenges all obstacles to bigger and better French and Spanish classes, with psychology as a recreation. Rothrock McCann Langdon Baxter Q

Mr. Werner is especially wel ' fitted to inaugurate a period of expansion in equipment and enrollment. Equally happy was the selection of the other new members of the faculty. Our versatile registrar, Mr. G. D. Peavy, handles skillfully both athletcis and social problems. Under the direction of Coach Ed Adams and Miss Frieda Hutchinson, the physical education department is progressing. Mr. Herbert F. Langdon is increasing the popu- larity of the courses in engineering. To the department of commerce, already one of the largest in the college, Mr. Claude Addison ' s a valuable addition. As chairman of the division of science and mathematics, Mr. John B. Lemos continues his invaluable services in teaching and admin- istration. With him are associated Miss Jean McKay in biological sciences, Mr. J. R. Clarke in chemistry, and Mr. Langdon and Mr. Earl Sauble in mathematics. The dean of women.

s r u D £ J] T i) D D y Organization has been the keyword of all student activities the school year. The five integral parts necessary for the sustained growth of any institution of learning has been exemplified at our junior college, and we have derived great benefits from them. Those phases are student government, schol- arship, social activities, athletics, and tradi- tions. Student body officers for the first semes- ter were Jack Kympton, president; Norman Kerns, vice president ; Kay Vosti, secretary, and Carleton Williams, treasurer. As the government used at that time proved inade- Jack Kympton Kay Vosti 0 9- r- quate for the growth of the school, a con- stitution committee was appointed with Burr Scott as acting chairman, and after several weeks of strenuous work his com- mittee members presented a constitution suited better to our needs. It provided for a commission form of government with many advantages over the old one, among them better student representation for all student body organizations. Even though it provided for the election of officers an- nually, it was found necessary to have a mid-term election to carry into enactment the new constitution. Elected for the sec- ond semester were Jack Kympton, presi- dent: Nettie Wiechring, secretary; and the following commissioners: Carleton Wil- liams, finance; Luther Ogawa, Freshmen: Bob Henderson, sophomores; Gerald Woel- fel, men ' s athletics; Elsie Tomagni, women ' s athletics: Clayton Lamb, publications. Besides the appointment of the constitu- tion committee several other standing com- mittees were appointed, namely, rally, pub- licity, and social activities. Scholarship interest in the student body showed a marked increase with the pros- pect of the foundation of the Alpha Gamma Sigma chapter which was organized during the last semester. Due to the great number of candidates eligible for appointment to the chapter, it was found necessary to raise the grade-point standing.
