Y ' se Women San Bernardino Valley Junior College FaU, 1941 n Joan MigiiL Dear Madge, I ' m so glad that you and Joan Mignot had such a grand time together last week-end. She was thrilled by your dorm. But, when she discovered that the girls had no part in Y.W.C.A. work, she was surprised and dis- appointed. Joan, as president of the Y ' se Women, with her senior and junior cabinets composed of Mary Jane Van Koevering, Virginia Guertin, Billie Reed, Carlena Johnson, Esther Romo, Evelyn Redenbo, and Anna- belle Egan, has done a supreme job in organi2,ation. Members devote their time willingly to charity work. They are rewarded for their honest efforts with periodic social affairs. Uncertain as to whether we were wasting misplaced energy or not, Joan inquired at the Red Cross headquarters. Soon after, we were cutting, pasting, and coloring menu covers and nut cups for Thanksgiving for the men in service. We chattered madly as we worked and topped off each afternoon ' s labor with a dinner meeting. In return for the dance which the girls gave in honor of the men at Camp Haan, the fellows invited them to visit Camp on Field Day. All the coeds returned with a great deal more admiration for the uniformed forces. Our parties are not all-girl every time. The fellows of the College Y were co- hosts in the Christmas party. The guests brought for admission inexpensive toys, which were later donated to needy children. I ' m hoping that you will encourage your sorori- ty sisters in similar ac- tivities. Sincerely, Ginny II Mm '

Freshman Week ««■ w . ♦ %-4i;yte time, I did not escape with a mere citation, but was thrown into the stocks to be the ' laughing stock ' of the campus. Later, I paraded forth onto the auditorium stage and was sentenced by grim-faced Bob Suggs to the terrible punishment of walking barefoot on broken glass. Maybe the performance wasn ' t as drastic as it sounds, but my dignity certainly took the day off. The lowly Bob Gallavan was given the honorable title of official shoe shine for the day. Mary Stokes and Eugene Harmon bisected a bit of broadloom. Friday marked the day of reckoning as the Sophomores engaged the humble Frosh in a pushball contest. With the bronze Adonises giving their ' all ' , the outnumbered Frosh went down fighting. To show that there were no ill feelings, the Sophies passed the pipe of peace to the Squaws and Braves. Sincerely, Ginny

Citrus vs. San Bernardino San Bernardino Valley Junior College Fall, 1941 Dear Bob, Our football team went into action for the first time this year when we romped over a smaller Citrus team 26 to 13. Half -back Jack Porter and End Bob Webb outshone the rest of us guys, when Porter heaved two touchdown passes to Webb in the end zone and then scored the other two himself. The fast little Owls had us going the first half. They literally ran circles around us, but we slowly came to life. We scored three touchdowns in the third quarter on two passes from Porter to r ' . - . - , .. . Webb, and then Jack ran the other one over from the four-yard q xv bb Ime. We never did have the game on ice. The under-sized Owls scared us when their tricky quarterback surprised us with a 60-yard touch- down jaunt, and then threw a long touchdown pass for another score. We tightened up our defense and set the Owls back on their limbs. Porter scored our last touchdo wn from the six-yard stripe with only a minute left in the game. It was our first practice game; so Coach Doug Smythe used most of the boys to see what they could do. I thought Bob Ewing, Bill Ullom, Buzz, Brown, and Chuck Hunt showed more stuff than the rest of us; they looked plenty good. It was the first time we played in the new Orange Show Sta- dium, and there was a fair turnout for the game, even though it was cold. Fm glad I played quite a bit! Fd probably have frozen sitting on the bench. Well, I know you ' ll want to hear how we come out in the rest of our games; so FU write you later. Chuck
