Women ' s Council . . San Bernardino Valley Junior Collef e Fall, 1941 Dear Bette, If you want to see something that ' s really a laugh, you shfjuld see the Women ' s Council on our reservation make the freshman squaws toe the mark during Freshman Week. No freshman is safe from the searching eyes of our campus vigilantes. The Women ' s Council is composed of the presi ' dents of women ' s organizations and the feminine members of the Ex. Committee — Patsy McCobb, Jo Mignot, Ruth Giese, Helen Gleason, Ehzabeth Way, and Kate Gardner. 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

. . 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

Freshman Week San Bernardino Valley Junior College Fall, 1941 Dear Dot, You ' ve been wondering about our Frosh Week activities. There is no better way to explain than to let a Freshman plead his case. Enclosed is a letter which plainly speaks for itself: ' ' With my first whirl of college events coming to a breathless halt, I find time to write to you again and tell you of my entry into Valley. Freshman Week fairly flew by as I attempted to adjust myself to a new life and satisfy the wants of the mighty Sophomores. The reflection greeting me from the mirror certainly was not very encouraging. Growing desperate, I added just a wee bit of lipstick. Immediately, a committee of twenty pounced upon me, adding not a little more color. Wednesday, I was feeling exhilerated in spirits and shouted a cheery ' Hf to Tom Harmon, a Frosh kinsman. This
