« :m-i HM i mvS I s Larry Farris — Editor Robert E. Sharon — Advisor The LEGEND staff of 1955 has tried to produce a yearbook worthy of the fine school it represents. A small group, working long hours after school, has made this book what it is.

Initiating a trend at the Grey Castle, called Let Joe Do It, last fall was the La Jolla Express Joe Barrington. Joe garnered a first string backfield slot on the Metro Conference All -Star Team and also was named on the Junior College All American squad. Pass-snagging Dallas Evans whose breath taking catches were another big cog in the Knight offense, holds down the left end position on the All Metro first team. Making All Metro for the second straight year was Carlos Fackrell the bulwark of the Knight line. Bill Lumpy Reed another guard also garnered a second team All Metro slot. Lumpy and Carlos were the ter- rors who kept in shape by playing hooky into the opposition backfield. Ventura, Krupers, Melocke, Spar, Epp. SECOND ROW: Ortiz, Franklin, Di Tomaso, Collier, Romirez.

Riding with a broken lance at the first of the 1954 Football season, the Knights recoiled at full speed and wound up in third slot in Metro Conference standings. Threatening a few times with Lauro Saraspe, Alonzo Latham and PonchoAdams providing the punch the Gray and Blue were shocked by a high flying Riverside Col lege eleven with deadeye Roger Folsom chucking the norther- ners to victory. A little less cocky with a new mount and lance the Knights hosted the Phoenix Bears on October 1 . Off to a fast start, Al Chapman scored on a 1 2 yard jaunt in the first period and again tallied before the half with Dallas Evans on the scoring end of a Billy Adams aerial. Starting the second half with a cozy 13-0 lead the Knights felt a big Bear Claw as the Phoenix eleven wasted no time in scoring two quick touchdowns to hand a 14-13 deficit on a battered San Diego squad. The Gray Castle almost tumbled down after that ambush. Opening Conference play October 8, the San Diego crew hosted a highly touted El Camino eleven in the annual Optimist Bowl game. Coach George Schutte ' s charges had a bad case of fumbleitis as they dropped their third straight game 13-0 to the Warriors who later represented the West in the Junior Rose Bowl. Finally launching a full scale attack Schutte led the Knights to their first victory, in a crucial contest over Long Beach City College. Pacing the 19-6 win was the Lajolla Express Joe Barrington who led the scoring parade with 12 points and Alonzo Latham also tallied. Again leading the local avalanche Joe Barrington plowed for 2 TD ' s against the L.A. Valley but another second half sneak attack spelled defeat for the Knights. The Monarchs 14-13 win again shook not only the Grey Castle but stunned the San Diego squad. Turning the Conference tables around the Schuttemen again jumped back into the thick of the Metro race as they ran roughshod over the Santa Monica Corsairs. This thrilling Home-coming fracas again featured the passing combo of Billy Adams to Dal Evans and the long runs of Joltin ' Joe Barrington who tallied twice. Adams zeroed in Evans for 1 TD against the highly regarded Corsairs. In the last three games the Knights showed great power in winning 2 out of 3. The wins were over East L.A. _ 13-7, and Harbor 27-13; the last season loss was to Bakersfield 24-21 in a very hard fought game.

The Our nation, state schools belong effective as quality of our contributions as individuals depends upon our initiative, knowledges, skills, attitudes, appreciations and human understandings required by the activities in which we are engaged. With our tremendous increase in population it becomes important that our citizens continue to support the ex- pansion of our facilities and opportunities for education on all levels, from the kindergarten to the university. Today, as life becomes more complicated, each student must consi- der very carefully the selection of a curricu- lum that offers him the greatest chance for success. In San Diego your educational leaders, working closely with community representa- tives, have designed and are at present engaged in expanding an institution which offers many opportunities to develop basic skills in each planned career and which also permitsparti- cipation in educational experiences common to those we all share in this great democracy of ours. We hope that each member of the class of 1955 has extended his ability to live as well as to earn a living. Best wishes to each of you as your goal nears a reality. Walter L.

Don Clarkson ' s Cagers led the Conference until upset by the Bakersfield Renegades. An accident to Ron Robertson, star forward , was the biggest blow to the Title Contenders. Robertson suffered a severe hip injury in the Santa Monica game and saw limited action in the remain- ing games. Playing against service teams, San Diego State College Re- serves, and the World Famous Harlem Globe Trotters rounded out the sea- son for the Knights. Conference recognition came to Willie Pitts, and George Taylor, Guards, who made All -Metro this season. Phil Embleton, Bob Ott, Harry Wilson, and latecomer. Jack Argent, who was ineligible the first semester, were also outstanding. The leading scorers were Pitts 365, Robertson 314, and Taylor 326. Returning next year will be Dave Jarvis, who was in the starting five, until a broken ankle laid him up. Jack Argent Gail Struckey, George Taylor, Marvin Wagner, Wes Rusnell, and Harry Wilson.

NEWMAN nam Sauit Oi (M The San Diego Junior College Little Theatre group opened last fall with George Bernard Shaw ' s immortal tale, Saint Joan. This, the story of Jeanne d ' Arc, and the dawn of the Renaissance, was well received, not only by the students, but by the entire city of San Diego. Said Bruno Ussher, Drama Editor of the San Diego Evening Tribune, Thanks and com- pliments are due the. .. .Junior College drama students, who under the guidance of Charles M. Newman Jr. presented the first of three performances of Shaw ' s Saint Joan at the Russ Auditorium last night... It is a well-prepared production owing to the insight and devotion of Newman who heads the drama department. The influence of Duke Lovell,who functioned as scenic ad- visor, was evidenced in color schemes of lighting, sets and costume that had mood and eye appeal . Shaw ' s Saint Joan has never been seen here before, much less produced locally. The more then might be said for this performance of one of Shaw ' s greatest and also except- ionally difficult dramas. Thesuccessof thisfine presentation was largely due too freshman, and newcomer to the Junior College stage, Geraldine Topley, who held the title role. Fine jobs were done by veteran cast members Ted Frank and Walter Johnson; while Bob McKenna shared honors with Edward Dube for well rounded portrayals in difficult roles. Joseph O ' Ryan ' s play pro- duction class deserves full credit for the sets; and Ted Frank, who was a drama award win- ner for the fall of ' 54 at the College was Mr. Newman ' s assistant as director. Of all mentioned, however, the man who made Saint Joan possible, and the man who is behind all dramatic presentations at our school,, is Charles M. Newman Jr. Drama Director for San Diego Junior College. 46 CAST OF CHARACTERS (as they speak) Robert de Baudricourt Clark Deal Riding His Steward Rip Bojorquez Joan Geraldine Topley Bertrand de Poulengey Thora n Hicks Duke de la Trenooui lie David Abbott Archbishop of Rheinns  Edward Mortenson Court Page Mono Hodgson Gil les de Rais (Bluebeard) Larry Link Captain La Hire Lowell Jones Charles, Dauphin of France Ted Frank Duke of Vendome Bill Campbell Duchess de la Tremoui Me Barbara Whee Ion Jack Dunois, Bastard of Orleans Ronald Huss His Page Bill Tony Richard Beauchamp, Ear! of Warwick Edward Dube His Page Carol Kriner John de Stogumber, Chaplain to the Earl Rene Scheuerman Peter Cauchon, Bishop of Beauvas Robert McKenna John Le Mainre, Chief Inquisitor o Walter W .

Coach Odus Morgan says it is the best team he has ever coached. Red lands and UCLA will be the toughest matches, states Morgan. Stars like JackMovido, Carl Eltzholtz, and FrankMcCabe should help them to a successful season . tfH cuict CCe p itna Carol Ann Kriner Eddie Dube Following the successful presentation of Saint Joan, the studentsof the drama de- partnnent were left entirely on their own for the production of a night of one-act plays. Faculty Drama Director, Charles Newman, took a back seat and acted only as master of ceremonies of the evening. On the agenda were The Informer, The Old Lady Shows Her Medals, and The Boor, directed by students Rene Scheuerman, Barbara Wheelon, Bob McKenna and Ted Frank, respectively. Charles Newman stepped back into the scene in the spring, with San Diego Junior College ' sannual Shakespearean production. Chosen for this year ' s playwas what has been called the Bard ' s most finished tragedy, Antony and Cleopatra. The Russ Auditorium stage received a virtual face-lifting , as the orchestra pit was boarded over to provide a special level for all Roman scenes. Newman, and Duke Lovell, scenic advisor, did a commendable job with the difficult three- level staging. The presentation was held on March 24, 25, and 26, and was lauded widely by San Diego ' s drama critics. The key figure in the play was Carol Ann Kriner, called by one critic, ...a regal and enticing Cleopatra , and by another, markedly gifted. . . . Eddie Dube, in the title role of Antony was excellent. Larry Link as Octavius Caesar, John Murphy as Caesar ' s advisor and Robert McKenna as Enobarbus were all fine performers, and thoroughly convincing in their roles. Both students and faculty of the drama department,and all assisting departments deserve special praise from all of us for bringing to the school a year filledwith ex- cellent drama. 58 warn ■M MMHI 59 60 ■■■ 1954-1955 has been a very successful year for Kappa Phi Alpha. The members and pledges started the year rolling by presenting their first annual Block Cat Boll .
