The first semester started with football games, after-game dances, and our traditional tur- key day game with Fullerton. Then came the exciting weeks of Little Rose Bowl Flurry and the semester ended with the beautiful Christmas Formal Dance. During the second semester, our Student Body Officers helped us plan the Ship Ahoy Hop, the Fiesta, and the For- mal Banquet. Santa Ana College Officers got many good ideas for student activities when they attended both the regional meeting at Ventura and the state convention at Bakersfield. We saw the Eastern Conference grow from merely an athletic league to a scholastic league as well. We cooperated by sending our officers to the Eastern Conference Student Government Workshops and then a good percentage of our student body turned out for the Eastern Conference Dance in San Bernardino.

Dur- ing the war years 1943-1946 he served the school as the Dean of Men. MARY SWASS There has never been a year in its history that Santa Ana College has existed without Miss Swass. She has taught SAC students to understand and become real Dons and Donas, hier Spanish classes have become pleasant memories for many Santa Ana students and we wish her good fortune in the future. MABEL WHITING Miss Whiting is another Santa Ana College teacher, who will leave us this June. Miss Whiting has been the type of teacher who spared no efforts to see that mathematic principles were understood by her thousands of students. We wish to commend her for her thirty-two years of fine service to our college. SECRETARIES Mary Doorley. Lucille Norton, Na 42 CAFETERIA First row: LeRoy Rice. Cecil Spikes.

The organization this year with fifteen members has become the largest Phi Theta Kappa in SAC history. Early in the second semester the Initiation for the group was held at a special tea In the college library. The initiation was conducted by Marie Oogjen and June Herrick, the only former members of the club still In attendance at Santa Ana College. Membership requirements are: high scholastic standing, service to school, and election by faculty. No student carrying less than twelve units Is eligible. Phi Theta Kappa Is the Junior College equivalent to Phi Beta Kappa In universities. The Santa Ana chapter Is advised by faculty members, Miss Mabel Whiting and Dr. Edwin Force. ALPHA MU GAMMA Alpha Mu Gamma, an International lan- guage honor society, Is composed of students from Santa Ana College ' s French, German, and Spanish classes. The society seeks to better international harmony through the understanding brought about by encouraging the study of foreign lan- guages. Miss Mary Swass has been advisor of the local group.

Only students with at least a B or three point average are considered and the membership of the organization is limited at all times to ten per cent of the entire student body. If a student meets the requirements of Alpha Gamma Sigma for three out of four semesters, he becomes a permanent member of the society. Since the Alpha Gamma Sigma is merely an honorary organization and not a service or an interest club, the society has had no organized field trips or activities. The organization unanimously elected Murray Adler as its president for the spring semester. Advisors for the group this year have been J. Russell Bruff and Miss Mabel Whiting. This will be the last year that Miss Whiting will be Alpha Gamma Sigma advisor, since she is retiring from her position at Santa Ana College. $1 1 ' t f 67 BLACK KNIGHTS Santa Ana College took another big step forward this year when an honorary nnen ' s organization, the Black Knights, was organized during the fall semester. The purpose of this organization is to render service to the Associated Student Body. Being selected a member of this organi- zation is the highest service honor a man student at SAC can achieve. Membership is limited to twelve members by the constitution These members are selected upon completion of one year ' s work toward a college degree at Santa Ana College with a ' C average. Final selection rests with the active members of the Black Knights and the approval of the Dean of Men and the faculty. BETA PHI GAMMA Beta Phi Gamma is the honorary journalistic society on the SAC campus. It was first organ- ized in 1938 as a successor to the Press Club. Requirements for membership include at least a B average in Journalism, a C average scholastically, sixty inches of copy in El Don, official publication of the Associated Student Body, and election by members. Mr. Carl Venstrom, Head of Journalism De- partment, is faculty advisor to the club. Meetings of the club feature discussions on journalistic trends, composing of editorials and news features and social activities. Other activities of the club Include visits to newspaper plants, and meetings with other chapters of the society. 68 First row: Jeane Claur Lester Johnson, Stan Saulsberry, Miss Egge ALPHA RHO TAU The monthly activities of the art club, Alpha Rho Tau, have been both varied and instructive this past year. Led by Gus Maier, President; Sue hHoward, Vice-President; Nan Weir, Secretary; and Stanley Mansfield, Treasurer, and aided by their advisor, Miss Frances Egge, the members enjoyed excursions v hich were well worth their whiles. Some notable art exhibits which they visited were the Community Art Associations Annual Purchase Prize Exhibit at Ontario, and an ex- hibition of drawings at Scripps College, and a student exhibit at Pomona College. Advertising art was examined by the students when they went to the Art Center School at Los Angeles, and some of the intricacies of cartoon art and animation were revealed to them when they were shown through the Walt Disney Studios. Alpha Rho Tau members also enjoyed the showing of The Titan, a motion picture exhibit of the works of Michelangelo. SIGMA PHI SIGMA Sigma Phi Sigma, the honorary musical so- ciety, is directed by Mr. Alan A. Revill and Mr. Robert J. La Masters.

This colorful event was held March 24 in the Student Union on campus. The main features of the celebration were fortune telling and game booths, refreshments and dancing. The c olorful and clever decorations added to the carnival effect. Proceeds from the Doodle swelled the treasury of the Gitanas and the girls generously contributed to several funds. Among them was a gift to the Crippled Children ' s hlospital in Los Angeles. Members of Las Gitanas also enjoyed their joint meeting with the Buccaneers, and the girls took an active part in Fiesta Day activities. They won second prize for their float and entered a team in the relays. .t, ui f ott, Joan Fr wn.

A joint meeting with Las Menlnas highlighted their collegiate events and social gatherings. Among other activities, the Gauchos helped with the decoration of the Rose Bowl for the now classic Junior Rose Bowl game with Little Rock. The Burro men have always been politically-minded, and In the second semester they made a clean sweep of the student executive board elec- tions, putting Carl Busdiecker In as ASB president, and Rolf Engen as ASB vice-president. They took an active part in all school activities and the record book shows that they have placed men on the first string teams In football, basketball, baseball, and track.

LAS MENINAS Every Santa Ana College Co-ed who attended the May Morning Breakfast, will remember for a long while the wonderful job done by Las Meninas. The girls of the Meninas took full charge of the event this year and made it a wonderful affair. The Mardi Gras theme was carried out with paper hats, masks, confetti, and streamers. The delicious break- fast served in the decorated cafeteria by the girls was followed by a fashion show in which members of the club served as models. Members of the Las Meninas were guests at a party given by the Buccaneers service club and the girls also held a tea for their mothers last December in the Student Union Lounge. Formal initiations for the organization were hold at the Imperial Cafe in Garden Grove the first semester and at Gary ' s for the second semester. Under the guidance of advisors Miss Marie Pound and Mrs. Alan Revill the girls had an enjoyable and profitable year. Officers of Las Meninas were first semester: President, Lianne Craw- ford; Vice-President, Madeline Maypole; Secretary, Janet Coombs; Treas- urer, Lesly Condon. Officers for the second semester were President, Martha Ann Rafn; Vice-President, Ruth hHopkins; Secretary, Carol Kern; Treasurer, Marjorle Alexander. 72 BUCCANEERS The purpose of the Buccaneers is to promote social activities, to develop active minds and bodies, and to maintain democratic ideals among their members. This year ' s activities were highlighted by two joint meetings with the women ' s service clubs. Las Gitanas and Las Meninas. To celebrate the closing of the school year the Buccaneers held their annual Abalone Feed at Laguna Beach, where they all enjoyed a pleasure-filled evening. Led by Skipper Richard McCammon the first semester and Skipper Lester Davis, Buccaneer pledges went through a week of burlap and onion aroma. Other activities, besides semi-annual initiation of members, in- cluded the participation in the Fiesta Day affairs. One of the services to the school v as the Buccaneer ' s very original decoration of the Ship Ahoy Dance. The Buccaneers would like to give much credit to Bill Neiswanger, their advisor who was with the club for the first time this year. He has been very considerate and obliging in helping them carry out the activities of the organization. 73 ; row: Alora Le ne Weltz. Mich Egge. Glona ! PILOTEERS The Piloteers ' special event of the first semester was a lovely Christ- mas party, where members exchanged gifts and enjoyed seasonal refresh- ments. The girls also contributed to community charity with their do- nation to the Orange County Welfare Fund. Campus services include the dressing table which they bought for the Women ' s Lounge in the Student Union, Piloteers were also responsible for the colorful decorations at the Fiesta Dance.

During the second semester the officers were — President, hHelen Walker; Vice-President, Wyvonne Berry; Secretary, Pat Patterson; Treasurer, Olga Kosar; and Historian, Anita Parker. Piloteers have been organized on the Santa Ana College Campus for fifteen years. The girls were advised this year by Miss Frances Egge, Miss Eileen Stegal and Miss Ruth Bradley. 74 CABALLEROS When the Caballeros was organized last November eighth, It became the first new men ' s service club to be added at Santa Ana College since 1930. Under the leadership of Al Fletcher and eighteen other charter members, the club started immediately to take its full share of campus responsibility. The purpose of the Caballeros is to serve school and student body whenever they are needed. Among their first activities was the guarding of the rooting section at the San Berdoo game. They then took on the responsibility of selling the programs at the Fullerton-Santa Ana game. Continuing on the road to success, the Caballeros helped decorate the Rose Bowl for the Big Game, and helped students from the other Eastern Conference schools find their sections. The fellows were very successful in their first attempt at politics and made a clean sweep of the sophomore and freshmen class officers for the second semester. The Caballeros have maintained fine standards under the leadership of Al Fletcher and Buddy Johnson, presidents and Mr. Van Osdall, their advisor, whose suggestions and advice have been invaluable to the cr- aanization. 75 SPINSTERS Under the advisorshlp of Miss Lota Blythe and Mrs. Neevil Helm, the Spinsters have enjoyed a busy and profitable year. One of their contributions on the campus was the sev ing kit which they provided for the Women ' s Lounge in the Student Union. They also assisted In furnishing the student ' s lounge. The Spinsters were a help to the community also, by sacking Christmas candy for the students at the Logan Grammar School. Each year the girls hold a rummage sale at the Townsend hHall, and this year they made enough money to help finance their annual Spree. The Spinster ' s Spree is a formal dinner dance, and this year it was held at El Adobe, in San Juan Caplstrano. onger. Ma Duise Wat . A,in Di: Peggyanr Mary Taylor 1. Georgia La Joan Blair.

Twenty active members make a fine showing at get-togethers and Fiesta affairs. Colorful parties at Bal and treks on the distant paths of Red Hill made this a memorable year. The objective of the club is to aid and take part in all activities on campus. Their enthusiasm was displayed during hell week when the Bachelor pledges, unique in top hats, knickers, and strolling canes added quite a sparkle to college affairs. Charles Brickell, Clyde Bobzii The leadership of presidents Gerald Gessup and Russ Gilbert was instrumental In making the 1949-1950 year very successful for the Bache- lors. Other officers for the group include: Vice-President, hlubert Clark; Secretary, Ronny Birtcher; Treasurer, Fred Baker; Sergeant-at-Arms, Russ Gilbert.

Second sinian, Evelyn Campbell, Peggyann YWCA This has been a busy year for the active members of the YWCA at Santa Ana College. Individually and as a group, the girls have per- formed real services to the school and the community, and thus have made their organization truly a service club. During the first semester the members gave a lovely fashion show in the cafeteria and made a skirt for the dressing table in the Women ' s Lounge. Various contributions were made during the year, among them one to a fund for the Orange County hlospital. The girls made contributions of their efforts also in cooperating with the local Building Fund Campaign of the YWCA. They gave a radio skit over KVOE to publicize the cam- paign and solicited funds for it. Selling tickets for the annual YWCA Garden Tour was another one of their activities. At all times the club tried to achieve their main purpose: girls ' fellowship, stressing self- improvement and service both to the school and the world. In all of their work the girls received the assistance of Mrs. Mary Safley Reed, to whom they are deeply appreciative. They found her aid invaluable. Late in the year Pat Flaherty attended the YWCA Leadership Train- ing Conference. Leading the club for the first semester was Bobbie Lou Curry; for the second semester, Peggyann Tozier. 78 rd. Ralph Gar YMCA One of the largest and most active groups on the campus is the college YMCA organization. It is open to all men students. Mr. Ernest Crain serves as club advisor. The club holds meetings every Wednesday at 12:00 in the Student Lounge. One of the main activities of the club during the year was spon- soring the May Morning Breakfast, which is an annual YMCA pro- motion for all men students on the campus. Jeff Cravath, football coach at use, was the main speaker at this year ' s breakfast. The YMCA also sponsors the annual fall football banquet at which the outstanding players are honored. During the Fiesta Day celebration held May 19, the club took part in the activities by operating a refresh- ment stand, and entering in the various events. At frequent intervals during the year, joint pot-luck dinners are held with YMCA and YWCA clubs in neighboring colleges. 79 TAVERN TATTLERS Santa Ana College students who like to write and read literature have founded the Tavern Tattlers. The group has written and published the Tavern Post since 1929. The Tavern Post contains poetry, short stories, and ar- ticles written by Tattler members and other SAC students. This year Jane Lindemuth was editor of the Post. This past year the Tattlers ' activities have been, among others, a backyard barbecue at the home of advisor Thomas hi. Glenn and their annual May fling when they attended The Chocolate Soldier in Los Angeles accompanied by advisors Miss Lota BIythe and Thomas hi. Glenn. Club officers are: 1949; President, Shirley Lantz; Vice- President, Peggyann Tozier; Secretary-Treasurer, hHilda Anne Johnson; and hHistorian, Grace Reed. 1950: President, h ilda Anne Johnson; Vice-President, Anne Connor; Secretary- Treasurer, June Herrick; and h istorian, Peggyann Tozier. FRENCH CLUB The French Club ' s activities this past year have been motivated by its desire to study and appreciate the customs and culture of France. The successful Christmas party, held at the home of Marlene Reamer, car- ried out a French theme. The club members also played games In French. The highlight of the second se- mester ' s activities was the trip to Los Angeles, where the club dined at a French restaurant, and afterwards enjoyed the performance of a play at the Turnabout Theatre. For the first semester, officers v ere Marlene Reamer, President; Jim Galbraith, Vice-President; and Ann Conner, Secretary-Treasurer. For the second semester, Ann Conner was President; Bob VV ' hite, Vice-President; and Edwina Cox, Secretary-Treasurer. The club appre- ciated the work of these officers, and the aid of its helpful advisor, Mr. Henri Lirette. 3w: Ronal n, Bob V ;. Cannon Harry Be Phil Reilly. Second rov 3ry Taylo ■. Third Harrison SKI CLUB One of the newest Santa Ana College campus oragnizatlons, the Ski Club, was organized in September, 1949, by twenty men and women student skiing enthusiasts. The outdoor lovers made many trips to the Big Bear area this winter to pursue the sport they love best. The club meets twice a month during the snow months, featuring instruction and movies on skiing. Next year, the club hopes to obtain Its own cabin In one of the local ski areas, and compete with other college ski clubs. First row: Ralph Garcia. Susumu Uyeda.

Bi INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Santa Ana College students are given an excellent op- portunity to learn more about the culture and activities of foreign countries when the International Relations Club meets every month. It entertains speakers from abroad who give up-to-date summaries of conditions In their countries. This year the club has heard, among others, speakers from Czechoslovakia, Ger- many, and China. At the Annual Pacific Southwest Conference on Inter- national Relations Clubs held at Chaffey last November, members of our local organization conducted the round-table discussion on Relations with Russia. Members of the club planned their various activities un- der the direction of Bill Fledderjohann, President; Marlce Schmlttou, Vice-President; Joan Ames, Secretary; Bill Perry and Sue Sorick, Directors. Much credit for the success and interests of the Inter- national Relations Club must be given to its advisor and counselor. Dr. Edwin T. Force, professor of history. SImm, Margaret A. Clough. NEWMAN CLUB The Newman Club is a nation-wide organization, with chapters at almost every college, junior college, and university. Its purpose is to be a medium for the social and religious thinking of the Catholic students on campus. Under the direction of Miss Marie Pound, hienri Lirette, and Miss Mary Swass, the club has grown considerably this year. The first sem es- ter ' s president, Vince Maier, and the second semester ' s president, Jim Corwin led the members to a very successful year. Activities of the organization other than the short religious discus- sions led by Spiritual Father Dan Kielty at each meeting, have been steak bakes, parties, and group breakfasts on Communion Sundays. 82 SONG AND YELL LEADERS Paula Dore+ti, Priscilia Orman, Pat+i Evans Al Fletcher, Phil Reilly, Burton Pickett I S A SPORTS 85 Bruce Smith, Chaffey, Oct. 15. 2 1 -year-old left guard from Garden Grove, Calif.

JUNIOR ROSE BOWL with only minutes to play, the Little Rock Trojans scored the win- ning touchdown to defeat the Dons and clinnax one of the glorious years of football at Santa Ana College. The Little Rose Bowl game was over, but the memory of the Don ' s 1949 pigskin eleven will live forever at SAC. Going into the national championship contest as definite underdogs, the Santa Anans were full of spirit throughout the fracas and led the powerful Trojans In the second stanza, but were unable to stop their last drive which resulted in a 25-19 victory for Little Rock. Coach Bill Cook ' s Dons gave the Trojans more than one cause to worry when Santa Ana scored two touchdowns In the second quarter and crossed the goal line once in the third stanza. The Dons earned the right to play In the Little Rose Bowl by boasting an undefea ted record of nine victories and one tie during their 1949 schedule. During the football season, the Dons recorded 317 points while their opponents only managed to account for 129 points in 1 I games. Al (Hoagv) Carmlchael proved to be the Don ' s sparkplug by scoring 19 touchdowns and averaging over nine yards per ball carrying during their prolonged season.

Because of the extended Santa Ana foot- ball season, the courtmen were unable to begin practicing until late In December which was only three weeks away from their first conference tilt. The Dons just got Into shape as the season closed and proved this by winning three out of their four concluding circuit games. Boasting an 18 point average, Rolf Engen, known as the little giant of the courts, bucketed 225 points during the season to set a new con- ference scoring mark, breaking the old record by 28 digits. Engen, a returning letterman from the 1947 team, proved to be the Dons spark- plug throughout the season. Lloyd Thomas was the only other return- ing veteran on the team, but Coach Cure used his outstanding freshmen prospects to bolster the casaba. Santa Ana 46 Fullerton 86 Santa Ana 53 Mt.

Los Angeles City College nosed the Dons out of first place in the Southern California Relays and Compton edged the Santa Anans in the Fresno Relays. In every event the Dons were loaded with talent and the cindermen were ne ver defeated in the javelin or 880 competition during the season. At the Fresno Relays, Kelly FHylton tossed the javelin 200 feet to set a new meet and school record. The old mark was 193 feet I Inch set by Jim Danerl.

BASEBALL Getting off to a slow season start, the Santa Ana diamondmen faced hard luck throughout their first round of conference play, but canne up with some amazing victories to end their 1950 season. Throughout the season the Dons were faced with numerous handicaps such as the loss of their two regular pitchers, Pete Fazio and Dick Perez. Coach Cure then had to use his regular first base- man, Jack Goetting, and another infielder Tom Sitton in pitching assignments. Breaking their losing streak, the Dons came up with sparkling victories against San Berdoo, Chaffey, and Orange Coast in consecutive order near the end of the season. Louie Armendariz and Ken hHarrlson were the only returning letter- men on the 17 man team. The 1950 nine initiated the Dons ' new home diamond located on the college campus, but the squad won a majority of their games playing on their opponents ' fields. 104 CONFERENCE SCORES Santa Ana 1 Fullerton 10 Santa Ana 15 San Bernardino 2 Santa Ana 2 Chaffey 5 Santa Ana 5 Orange Coast 13 Santa Ana 5 Mt.

The shouts of forty-love, strike three, ' shoot, our point, or get a hit, have been louder, longer, and more enthusiastic this last year. That is because nearly twice as many SAC co-eds have really turned out to be athletes, and not muscle- bound athletes either, as the fellows who crowded the sidelines will agree. The giris who served on the WAA Board of Control really deserve much of the credit for this very successful year. These girls gave of their extra time and energy to help make the parties, games, and picnics so much fun. Pauline (Scottle) Scott served the group as first semester president and dur- ing her term the girls participated in several basketball games with other schools. They also took part in the District Tournament at Fullerton, where our team made a fine show- ing. Also during Scottie ' s term was the Ch ristmas party. The energetic president of the second semester was Chloe Barr. During her term the girls ' tennis team got into high gear and with a lot of freshmen women on the team we have high hopes for the 1950-1951 season. Another important event in the spring sports picture was volleyball. With over 40 girls reporting SAC had several championship teams. Last on the WAA list Is Softball. The girls had two teams and enjoyed their games with Long Beach City College, Santa Ana hiigh School, and several others. en Walker nen Perez. Rellstab, . Jeanne Weltz, Walker. Chloe McNeill.
