Assembly Commission San Bernardino Valley Junior College Fall, 1941 Dear Gloria, Your assembly set ' up sounds good; since you explained it to me with such enthusiasm, I thought you would like to hear about our Assembly Commission. The committee is made up of Miss Rich of the Commerce department, chairman; the two deans, Dr. Allison and Mr. Brown; Mr. Robins of the English department; a representative from the executive committee; and a student commissioner. The first commissioner, Albert Newell, was really swell about getting interesting programs; but Al has been learning to fly, and he found that he didn ' t have enough time to continue as head of the Com ' mission. Charles Gail has taken over as Commissioner, now, and the Executive Committee appointed Elizabeth Way as its representative. The Commission handles all assemblies, and it has some programs, such as the election campaigns and the hilarious freshman citation assemblies, which it presents regu- larly each semester. With such a smooth organization, the assembly calendar for the year is always filled with programs of interest to the entire student body. I think our Commission is as super as yours, although your loyalty to your school may keep you from admitting it. Love,

' 4 Social Affairs Committee dii San Bernardino Valley Junior College FaU, 1941 Dear Connie, Well, yes, honey child, thanks to the Social Affairs Committee, I have been just plenty busy this year. You would be simply mad about the giddy gallop of dances and stuff that the group maps out for the guys and gals of this tower of learning. The committee is headed by student body viccpresident Ruth Giese. Jimmie Nicholson, Phyllis Graeber, Mary Jane Koevering, Lois Reynolds, Beverly Nish, Roy Phillips, Arline Verdieck, Eli2;abeth Way, and Mildred Skousen make up the rest of the group. Really hard workers, these socially minded students have already sponsored two sports dances and a Christmas formal and are planning a simply luscious Commencement formal for all us departing sophomores. Of course, this sophomore has thought them all luscious on account of some really swish fellows who escorted her to this and that. I don ' t suppose it ' s easy to plan dances to please the whole student body, but this committee has planned so many successful affairs that it has made the job look like a set ' up. This letter was supposed to be a parcel of information about great dates and bright lights, but it seems to have turned into an essay on the merits of the Social Affairs Committee; however, these kids really deserve praise; so I ' m not sorry. Dates and men can be discussed later. Bye, bye for now. Love, Ginny

. . Men ' s Council San Bernardino alley Junior College Fall, 1941 Dear Mac, Sorry, fella. 1 know 1 should have written sooner, but I just couldn ' t cut loose from the rush that ' s been going on at school. We sophomores have really been busy keeping our eyes peeled for those freshmen who go out of their way to break traditions that have been handed down for years and years. As per usual, we had a persecution assembly for the delivering of final punishment. Oh, brother, I wish you could have seen it! The Men ' s Council — Dick Gardner, Dan Thomas, Bill Dun ' bar, Jim Ballentine, Bob Rohrer, Val Zajec, Jim Hewlett, and John WiUiams — sen.-ed as a jury and dished out punishment as the judges told them to do. The trial took place in a Chinese court — dragons and harem girls and Chinamen and harem girls and, well, harem girls. . . . Oh, yes, about the Men ' s Council. I wish you could have seen John WiUiams and Jim Hewlett as — guess what — blond Chinamen. But enough about that. The way I ' ve been raving about this assembly, you ' d almost think the Men ' s Council didn ' t have an assembly every semester to heckle the frosh — but, believe me, this one was super. Well, 1 must get back to the old grind. Write soon. Chuck
