. . 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

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,

When you gain admission to this tower of learning next semester, keep on your toes or you ' ll look hke an Indian ready for the warpath — that is, after lipstick has been applied in all the wrong places. Or maybe you ' d rather wear a sign saying, I ' m a baby tank or I ' m a glamour girl . No, I guess you ' re more the type that they ' d call on to give an impromptu love scene with some positively icky boy. Well, my pet, if you get caught, just don ' t say I didn ' t warn you. ' Bye now, Ginny
