m-ms Published by the Associated Students of Santa Ana College Santa Ana, California Volume 45 FOREWORD Santa Ana College ' s Golden Anniversary commemorates fifty years of achievement and service. Scholastic achievement has been of primary importance to the students and administration since the founding of the College in 191 ' i. Yet, a standard of excellence in the many other facets of college life has prevailed. The College has attained greater heights with each succeeding year. The goals of past years have been surpassed, new goals have taken their place. It is the hope of the 1%3 Del Ano staff that our purpose, that of recording the events of the past year and reflecting the heritage of Santa Ana College, has been fulfilled. , A v ' ■ ' :( ' • I ' -f ■ y ' V f 7 , TABLE OF ADMINISTRATION 14-45 ACTIVITIES i ORGANIZATIONS j m07 SPORTS 108-1-fl SOPHOMORES 142-161 PATRONS 162-173 CONTENTS I y ■! ' ■ Santa Ana College was founded in August of 1915. The Col- lege was forced to share the old polytechnic high school campus on Walnut Street with Santa Ana High School. At first only an advanced department of the high school, a junior college district was formed in 1922. Santa Ana Junior College then became an entirely separate institution: however, sharing the high school facilities was necessary. A disastrous earthquake in 1933 caused many buildings on the high school campus to be condemned. Buildings in good condition after the earthquake were used as well as the former Wiltard funior High School building on 10th and Main, covering one square block. In addition to classes held in the junior high school building, the Board of Education buildings across the street were used as a temporary catnpus. Ill 19-i ' y a bond issue authorized I he purchase of 48 acres on which to build a new campus of the College. Before building could start, the 10th and Main Street campus was condemned. Classes were held in bungalows situated in the Board of Education parking lot while the new campus was being purchased and cleared of citrus trees. Army barracks from the old Santa Ana Army Air Base were put on the dusty site while the Allison-Honer Company started building. SAC ' s enrollment has increased so rapidly tliat the barracks are still in use. Four classroom buildings and the administration units tiere finished in I9-t8. Work on the Student Union was completed the following year. In 1952, the building of the Child Developtnent Center was started. A bond issue authorizing the building of the gym (Cools Gymnasium), the natural science building (Ham- mond Hall), and the college hall (Phillips Hall), ivas passed in 1955. Completed in 1933, the three buildings cost $900,000. The rapid growth in attendance at the College makes future plans for expansion eminent. A fnulti-storied science building will be completed in fune of 1966, and other plans are in progress. J: _ . tf ._ 1 TO THE DEDICA TED Harold A. Moomaw, Chairman Division of Engineering In this, Santa Ana College ' s fiftieth year, we co- dedicate this anniversary edition of Del Ano to a man who has spent over half of those fifty years in service to the campus. Loved for his subtle sense of humor, Mr. Moomaw has gained many devoted friends on the campus, through faculty and student association and through his work with the United Presbyterian Church. Conscientious and alert, he played an important part in several phases of campus activity. Twice elected pres- ident of the Faculty Association, he displayed his leader- ship qualities with his associates as well as the ability to understand students and their problems while serving on the Admissions and Guidance Council. As Division of Engineering Chairman, and in his own classes, Mr. Moomaw acted as an inspiration to young engineers and had a great deal to do with their placement all over the world. Now, in 1965, Mr. Moomaw will retire after 29 years of lending knowledge, contributing to campus activities, and adding to the progress of Santa Ana College. WE f I SHALL DEDICATE John Ward, Chairman Division of Physical Education Students of Santa Ana College and people of the community regretfully see a great man in the field of sports step into a well deserved retirement this spring. A notable athlete in his own right, Mr. Ward played four years of University football at USC and went on to play professional football with the team now known as the Philadelphia Eagles. Having been an outstanding athlete himself, Mr. Ward never lost that burning com- petitive spirit and has molded numerous Ail-Americans and Olympic stars. His radiating personality makes even his most bitter rivals respect and admire him. This along with the heart warming encouragement that he gave to his athletes has made him one of the top mentors in the nation. After serving the students of SAC since 1938, Coach John Ward is taking from the public eye the story of a fine athlete and an e.xtremely successful coach. In gratitude for the enormous services John Ward has done for SAC, the community, and the world of sports, we take this opportunity to say Thank You for coming to Santa Ana College. ADMINISTRATIO The past fifty years have been years of growth and deielopment for Santa Ana College. From the first eleven faculty members who began in 1913, the staff has rocketed today into a group of more than eighty instructors. Since the opening of the College, there have been many outstanding, dedi- cated instructors and administrators, too numerous to name. Each has helped guide and develop the minds of the many students entrusted to him. Achievements have, of course, been attained by the students, yet. the greatest achievement belongs to the faculty. They have molded the youth of today to form the leaders of tomorrow. ADMINISTRATORS GUIDE DONS •;v., ADULT EDOCffriON ■■ • ■■ ' ■!!.■.. J ' •■• ' .

Robert Sturgis, Dr. James G. Halle, Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Schools; Dr. Herbert Stroschein, President; Glenn D. Tabor, Superintendent of Schools; Char- lotte Reiter, Vice-President; Wilbur F. Hartman. In executing the administrative portion of the College ' s affairs, the Board of Trus- tees is of utmost importance. Heading the Board since the 1961-1962 school year is Dr. Herbert Stroschien, former student of Santa Ana College. This year the college trustees were again faced with the prob- lem of an ever-increasing need for ex- panded facilities. Hours have been spent in deciding how best to serve the com- munity with the funds available for use. Careful planning has resulted in another successful year of growth and achieve- ment for Santa Ana College. Serving the College in the capacity of Coordinator of Information Ser - ices for his second year is Jack Cor- coran. A familiar figure on the cam- pus, Mr. Corcoran also heads the SAC News Bureau.

Knowledge is a constant search sometimes ending in one book and begin- ning again with the next book. MANY ROADS PROGRESS Once the search has ended it must be talked about, thought about, and written .■• ' about so that others may know. | Their search has put them inches apart in physical form, but perhaps a universe away mentally.

The ape of the machine has come to even the smallest dust col- lector. The beginning and the end of any economy is usually signified by an unfriendly cash register and an empty wallet. lyssi Plans for the campus greenery are discussed by three of Santa Ana College ' s gardeners, Ed Ewer, Sile Osborn and Phil Vega. Activities have always been an important part of campus life since the foundation of Santa Ana College in 1915. Although time has changed the types of activities, the students have always displayed the same enthusiasm and imagination so much a part of youth. Through the avid participation and careful planning of students and faculty members, the 1964-1963 college year has been one during which many successful activities have been enjoyed. i ' ' , ' .CtV . ' -? , ' ' ' t ' A CTIVITIES Dr. Woellner ' s speech, What to Do When You Have Nothing to Do , delighted both students and faculty. Each year during the first week of school, Convocation is held to familiarize new and returning students with their campus, its faculty, and activities. After being introduced to college officials it was our pleasure to hear an entertaining and enlightening speech given by Dr. Frederic P. Woellner, Professor Emeritus of U.C- L.A. At the conclusion of the speech the faculty, arrayed in caps and gowns, led the recessional. Students left inspired and ready to begin the work laid before them. CONVOCATION BEGINS YEAR The faculty precession makes its way towards Phillips Hall for the Convocation ceremonie 48 A WS SPONSORS OPEN HOUSE g New students tr ' to decide which chib they would like to join. Monika Saager was one of (en coeds to model the latest fall fashions. The Associated Women Students sponsored a tea and fashion show to welcome the new women students on campus. Representatives from each of the women ' s service clubs were present to accept applications for membership. New students had the opportunity to meet club members and learn about the various club activities. SAC coeds modeled fall and winter fashions from the Chic Shop and Designs III. The clothes were selected because they de- picted the proper attire for the fall semester college activities. Each new student met the club officers and AWS leaders at the lea and fashion show. 49 John Longstreth and Russ Eagerly performed a Flamenco guitar duet. John Howe entertained Dons with his stylized version of Gimme Some . SAC DISPLAYS TALENT A capacity crowd packed into Phillips Hall to watch the annual talent show. Competition was extremely keen, but judges finally chose Linda Jennings as first place winner. Beverly Brezden won second prize with her pre- sentation of Fly Me To The Moon . Third place went to Carl Bryant for his comedy routine of Indian folksongs. The eight coeds running for the Homecom- ing Queen title were introduced to the students during the show. Third place winner Carl Bryant gave his rendition of Indian folksongs. DONS ENJOY HOOTENANNY Held in the gymnasium, the hootenanny was an oxerwhelming success. Over one thousand students attended to hear the music offered by three professional folk- singing groups. Immediately following the show, Circle K sponsored a noon dance in the student union. The Breckenridge County Boys de- lighted the crowd of 1200 with their bluegrass music. One of the three professional groups, the Townsmen, opened the show with several selections. The hootenanny was held in the gymnasium to accommodate the many students wishing to attend. The Settlers humor and song stole the show. COEDS CAMPAIGN FOR An Indian camp arose overnight to publicize Sheri Maxwell. After final voting on Wednesday, results were kept secret until the coronation dance Friday night. Two loyal supporters carried the vote. CROWN Each of the eight coeds aspiring to become Home- coming Queen felt the excitement and exhaustion of campaigning as they helped their sponsoring clubs publicize their candidacy before the preliminary election. After the five finalists were chosen, the tension and enthusiasm mounted as clubs worked frantically to support their candidates. The entire campus was arrayed with all kinds of colorful, imaginative signs and displays urging students to vote for one of the five. Suspense reached its peak during the final seconds before 1963 Queen Kathy Cook crowned Sheri Maxwell 1964 Homecoming Queen at the coronation dance, El Noche de Oro (The Golden Night). •.;(r J! % Many imaginati e signs decorated the campus. The eight coeds who vied for the title are Gail Henderson, Sharon McCowen, Sheri Maxwell, Hilda Saager, Lorna Wharton, Jan Englisch, Bar- bara Pomar, Ginnie Odenath.

Utt ' s address to the students highlighted the week ' s activities Introducing Congressman Utt was SAC Philosophy Instructor John Schmitz, recently elected State Senator. The annual Bill of Rights program, sponsored by the Valley Forge Freedom Foundation, was held to remind Santa Ana College students of the significance of the first ten ammendments to the Constitution that hold our per- sonal freedoms. Congressman James B. Utt, keynote speak- er, highlighted the Constitution in his address to the students in an assembly commemorating that important document. Vocalists Linda Jennings and John Stuart con- cluded the program with several patriotic selections. The Greeks contributed by passing out copies of the Bill of Rights along the Santa Ana Christmas Parade route. Ben Fox, Bill of Rights Committee Chairman, coordinated the program with the help of committee members Soni Rice, Dave Zweig, and Dave Hughes. Congressman Utt answered Students ' questions at a special reception in the lounge.

Trophies were awarded to winning team mem- bers, and the perpetual team trophy, held for one year by the champion of league play, still belongs to El Don. The games were held before the regular season Santa Ana b asketball encounters and finished during the half-time period. Five teams: El Don, Circle K, Greeks, Writer ' s Club and World Affairs Club comprised the league. Additional campus clubs are going to enter teams for the next season, in an all out campaign to dethrone El Don.

High- lighting the activities was the coronation of Doug Davidson as King. Students voted for their favorite king candidate during the day. The campus dance band, the Don Beats, was hired to perform for the formal affair. To SAC coeds, each one ' s date is king, but only one can wear the REC NIGHT ENTHUSES DONS Ping-PonR matches were included among the many activities featured at Rec Night. The Women ' s Athletic Association sponsored an informal sports night on February 11th in the Bill Cook Gymnasium. The Rec-night , held the week after final exams, provided a welcome re- laxation from the hustle and bustle of school work. Co-ed volleyball and ping-pong games found the women participating just as much as the men in the extra-curricular sports activities. Dons also had the opportunity to dance to the music, of the Dimensions Five. The Rec-night proved to be an enjoyable night for all those stu- dents and faculty members attending. Students stomp out the pressures of studies as they squirm through the newest gyrations in step with the explosive twang of the latest sounds. Mirror shot reflects the acoustic throb from the in- struments of the Dimensions Five. COLLEGE PLA YERS PRESENT! Now is the winter of our discontent, quips Tim Mills in his role as Richard HI. Scenes from Henry V performances. captivated audiences at each of the The Tempest j ave Beverly Brezden and Tim Mills an opportunity to display fine acting ability. THE WORLDS OF SHAKESPEARE Beverly Brezden and Tim Mills re- ceived great acclaim for their performan- ces in The Worlds of Shakespeare . Consisting of two acts, The World of Love and The World of Music , the play was introduced to SAC students in Phillips Hall. The production included excerpts from Macbeth , King Lear , Richard IH , and The Taming of the Shrew , as well as eight more of William Shakespeare ' s plays. Written and edited by the world-renowned Shakespearian scholar Marchette Chute, the play was an overwhelming success. In order to accommodate the many wishing to see it, an extra performance was presented after its scheduled engagement. 64 FALL DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS A FAR COUNTRY The second dramatic offering of the College Players during the fall semester was A Far Coun- try. The life of Sigmund Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, provided the basis for the play which was directed by drama instructors Lee Ford and Robert Blaustone. David Vincent dynamically portrayed Sigmund Freud while other key roles were held by Linda Kass, Georgia AUeman, and Joe Kawaja. Sara Sisson, Mark Byrd, Tim Mills, Susan Gustaffson, Pamela McLain, and Fred Schrock also participated in the presentation. The individual performances of each of the actors thrilled the audiences and the play was termed a success by all those attending. Sigmund Freud (David Vincent) encourages his paiieni Elizabeth Von Ritter (Susan Gustafson) to overcome her physical handicap. Kathy, portrayed by Pamela McLain, assists Freud during an anxious moment of the play. Freud ' s sister, mother, and wife (Sara Sisson, Georgia Alleman, and Linda Kass) contemplate his fate as the plot progresses. DRAMA PRODUCED TALENT . . . . a portion of the cast take-five. Wildcat, the annual production, based upon oil wild- catting at the turn of the century was conscientiously prepared in February and well accepted in March. The setting was a Te.xas-Mexico oil border town, the scene of singing, dancing and adventure. Nareen Farley, as Wild- cat, Curtis Pope, as Joe Dynamite, along wtih a well select- ed supporting cast, put forth delightful performances in March 19-20, 26-27 of the past year. The production was a work in which the entire school took part, the College Players, drama students and dance and choral students — all in all, Wildcat has its place in our history as being a delightful musical for our anniversary year; and every year since 1930, SAC has been equally proud. ff WILDCAT , SONG AND DANCE Delightful song and dance also created Wildcat as a wonder- rul production. - ORGANIZATIONS During the early years of the College ' s exist- ence, organizations ivere impractical, there simply itereii ' t enough students to participate. Later, as enrollment increased, special interest groups were formed. Although the names and many of the organizations have changed, the purpose of the campus organizations has remained the same. Each has served and furthered the aims of the College through the interest and participation of the stu- dents. FIRST STEPS ARE UNSURE IN Cahinel members (l.-r.): Gail Henderson, Social Commissioner: David Zweig, Sophomore Class President: Bert Cottle, Athletics Commissioner; Champ Gabler, Assemblies Commissioner; Ginny Odenath, Rallies Commissioner; Hilda Saager, Records Commissioner; and Dennis Weaver, Vice-President. FALL SEMESTER ASSAC PRESIDENT TOM WILSON FALL SEMESTER During Santa Ana College ' s 50th year, student government has taken on a new appearance. SAC students now have a three-pronged form of government , closely resembling the federal and state governments with its check and balance procedure. The Executive Cabinet, Senate, and Supreme Court comprise a system of government offering students realistic experience in a demo- cratic form of society . Under the leadership of President Tom Wilson, the fall semester govern- ment can list many achievements to their credit. Highlighting these achievements are the Day of the Don, a hootenanny, a mock presidential elec- tion, and the Christmas dance. Perhaps, however, their greatest achievement was in making SAC ' s new concept of student government a reality.

SPRING SEMESTER The second semester ASSAC student govern- ment organization, ably headed by Dave Whitney, took great strides towards making SAC ' s strug- gling government more sturdy. Student govern- ment leaders emphasized closer contact with stu- dents, thereby providing the kind of government wanted by Dons. Every effort was made to insure cooperation between the government and the press. Numerous activities were organized by the group including rec nights, hootenannies, and noon dances. The artist-drama series was im- proved and the possibility of abolishing the year- book in favor of a magazine was investigated. The fiftieth year met its successful conclusion through hard work and . . . an attitude of total responsi- bility from each and every member of the Student Government. ■y A mK fi.

The Association was founded this year with the aim of improving respect and knowledge of the laws we live by and getting more people interested in support- ing student government. Formation of the group was strongly urged by the members of SAC ' s Supreme Court. The combination service-interest club has participated in many worthwhile activities through the year proving the importance of an organization of its type.

ASSOCIATED MEN STUDENTS The Associated Men Students sponsored many campus projects this year, and encouraged its members to par- ticipate in all social and student body functions. With the promotion of student friendship and the College ' s welfare as primary goals, the AMS was fundamentally organized to provide better representation on the Executive Cabinet for all male students on SAC ' s campus, who are automati- cally members. To honor those outstanding man students who have contributed to the furthering of campus life, the AMS holds their annual Men of the Year banquet at the conclusion of the year. As a further incentive to serve the College, AMS has initiated several programs to honor SAC ' s men students of outstanding merit.

KNIGHTS An honorary men ' s organiza- tion, the Black Knights was formed in 1950 to support cam- pus functions and assist new stu- dents, as is the organization ' s pur- pose today. To be a Black Knight was, and continues to be, the highest honor a male SAC stu- dent can receive. Members, which were limited to twelve by the constitution, were selected on the basis of service to the Col- lege. The name was shortened to the Knights in 1954, but the men still wear their distinctive black Knight sweaters. THE GARDEN OF PRODUCTION CIRCLE K Many years have developed a scholastically high institurion, and 1955 added to that develop- ment with a men ' s service organization, the Circle K Club. The club ' s services to the campus and SAC ' s tradition in the past have included the snack bar bulletin board, cafeteria sound equipment, the Circle K Victory Bell, Career Day events, and the popular Ugly Man Contest.

' INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS CLUB Santa Ana College students have the excellent opportunity to learn about the culture and activities of foreign countries . . . Mexico, Japan, Korea, England, and many others . . . when the members of the International Club convene. The signifi- cant task of the organization is to host, as well as to study the foreign contributors to the campus.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS The Santa Ana College Young Democrats, charter members of the California Federation of Young Demo- crats, was founded in 1962. Kept busy in state and local politics, the YD ' s have been a very active interest club since its beginning. For the national election in 1964 members gave their time and effort in the presidential campaign doing precinct work and helping at Democratic Party Headquar- ters. FURTHER VARIED IDEAS YOUNG REPUBLICANS Furthering the beliefs and obtaining the goals of the Grand Old Party, the Santa Ana College Young Repitbli- caus have worked acti ely dur- ing this election year. The club, established in I960, cam- paigned vigorously for party candidates during the election and voiced its opinions on the many topics which are in- volved in the world of politics.

When the walls forming Phillips Hall were constructed in nineteen fifty-six, the art of drama was to gain new life and vitality at Santa Ana College. That dramatic vitality has truly reached the point of excell ence over the years through the constant spirit of the College Players, promot- ng and maintaining their artistry. When production time comes to SAC, the Players are on stage and ready with make up, scenery, and talent. The dramatic organization is also advised by two dedicated men of the theater, Mr. Robert Blaustone and Mr. Lee Ford. Choreographer Ginnie Odenath works with members of the chorus for the Players ' produc- tion of Wildcat . OUR THEATER HISTORY The walls were cast . . . forming SAC ' s own dramatic theater in 1956. Mr. Ernest Phillips ' advanced drama class first made its debut in December of 1930; at the time, two one-act plays were presented. Indeed, this was to be the beginning. As professor of Speech and English, Mr. Phillips had introduced dramatics as a practiced student art. But theater progression was to develop even more through the years. In 1951, for the first time in Santa Ana College history, the Dramatic Department presented a planned season of pro- grams consisting of four major productions; plays by such authors as James Hilton ( Lost Horizon ) and Tennessee Williams ( Glass Menagerie ). Another first in our theater history, 1957 brought a stu- dent playwright, Don Wrye, into the limelight with Tonight We ' ve Three . Phillips Hall and its history have had many highlights, the brightest being Mr. Ernest Phillips. Our theater has yet to grow and SAC will be proud of its future.

The campus library, named after Edward M. Neally, was completed in 1959, and appears at the left. The Circle K. Bell, a service project of the Circle K Club is pictured in the foreground. The track was built in 1955 at the present campus in time for the pre-Olympic meet in 1956. Track meets were previously held at Santa Ana High School until the $15,000 track was built at the College. Originally an outstanding track, a change in the Athletic Association rules for running a track meet has made it difficult to hold certain events. REFLECTED IN CAMPUS CHANGE Moved onto (he silt of the new campus in 19 i , the army barracks presently house laboratories, bio- losical scienLCS, lecture halls, and general classrooms.

Since 1925 Santa Ana College ' s journalism students have strived to fulfill their responsibilities to inform, influence and entertain the students and members of the community who comprise the complex web of life that makes SAC an effective educational, cultural and activity center. Change of minds brought forth many alterations in the name of the campus newspaper, from the Junior College News to the Dons, to the Don and finally to El Don, but the paper ' s primary function, to communi- cate to the human race what its members do, feel, and think, was never neglected. El Don has gained top recognition by receiving All-American Honors for the thirty-third time from the Associated Collegiate Press, the University of Minnesota. El Don staffers also won honors from Columbia University, the University of Southern California, Beta Phi Gamma, and the Journalism Association of Junior Colleges.

WRITERS ' CLUB Since 1928, students mutually interested in literature have met for the purpose of discussing the works of others and creating their own prose and poetry. Under the supervision of Mrs. Eleanor Northcross, the group, who called themselves the Tavern Tattlers, assumed the responsibility of publishing Tavern Post, a literary magazine of college prose and poetry. Renamed the W r ters Club in 1964, the young journalists still continue to produce a cross-section of the thoughts and feelings of college students and meet the literary interests of the students of this generation.

PUBLISH LITERARY MAGAZINE The Taierii Post whose name breaks the tradition of Spanish-sounding titles at Santa Ana College, justifies the departure with an impressive tradition of its own. More than three hundred years ago there stood in Eliza- beth ' s London an ancient inn with mullioned windows and dark low-hanging eaves, bear- ing upon its sign a weathered silver mermaid . . . The Mermaid Tavern, where poets and dramatists gathered for ale and animated talk of literature and culture. Inspired by this old inn and its literary associations, there met in the college library in 1929 a group of students who called themselves the Tavern Tattlers. From this nucleus of litera- ture lovers grew the first issue of Tavern Post, an anthology of collegiate prose and poetry. Publication of the Tavern Post has continued uninterrupted for thirty-seven years. Now the Writer ' s Club continues striving to present in prose and song a vivid record of youth ' s eager living and . . . meditations upon this priceless gift of liv- ing.

Athletics developed slowly atid unevenly during the early years of the College. Playing ivithout the direction of a coach, the first football team went undefeated in the 1917 season. Disappear- ing for a two and one half year period, sports were permanently established on campus with coed tennis in the spring of 1920. A loan of $275 from the Student Council in 1920 purchased equip- ment for SAC ' s second football team. The 1920 team played only two games that season, but won them both. Compiling a 3-5 record over their first season in 1921-1922, the basketball team was mod- erately successful. The spring of 1921 saw the beginning of track competition.

THEY RECEIVED HONOR, GLORY, When these men stepped out on the Don Field they stepped into a world of their own; a world of sacrifice and reward that lasted over three hard months. For the first few weeks, time moved slowly as these individuals began to mold into a team. It probably could be said that the thrashing they received from Long Beach, the top team in the nation, was all that was needed to bring these Dons together. But whatever it was, the black and red came back to hold the fourth nationally ranked squad, Cerritos, to a 0-0 tie. It was only in the last minute and a half that Cerritos went into the end zone and handed SAC a disheartening 6-0 loss. Like any good ball club, they bounced back to win their conference opener with Chaffey. Before most people realized it the team that was picked to finish sixth in the conference was standing undefeated and tied for first place with Fullerton. When Santa Ana had only two remaining games between them and the E.C. crown, disaster struck. The desire was there even to the end but the physical strain of making upset after upset took its toll. SAC went into its televised Fullerton game with over 75 % of the players needing special attention to serious injuries . The plague of injuries continued to follow the Dons to the extent that Coach Dick Gorrie felt they must decline a consideration for a bid to the Elks Bowl in San Bernardino. He made this decision on the basis that they were not physically able to take SAC ' s colors into a post bowl game and do them honor. no 1 SAC SCORES Opp Long Beach 45 Cerritos 6 Chaffey 20 8 Citrus 26 14 Riverside 17 7 Orange Coast 13 7 San Bernardino 29 16 Fullerton 39 Mt.

It ob- viously wouldn ' t be fair to the school, commu- nity or conference to send the shell of a team as a representative to this bowl game, he con- cluded. Mr. Gorrie has developed aprit tie corps un- equalled in this conference and we couldn ' t be happier with the job he has done. He is a gen- tleman, a great coach and a credit to the Col- lege, stated Dr. Johnson, Santa Ana College President. All in all the gridiron men of ' 6i ha e made quite a name for themselves by coming from a predicted last position to a well deserved second place and a consideration for a post bowl game.

CROSS COUNTRY AGAIN POINTS They call Cross Country a minor sport, but for any- one who either participates or follows the sport it ' s a different story. There is just as much tension, strain, and feeling of competition in Cross Country as in any other sport. Every sport has its place and distinction, Cross Country is one of the most physically demanding. Most of the time a long distance runner finishes a race on courage alone, completely exhausted and confident that he has done his best. Not to be an exception, Santa Ana ' s Cross Country team did their best and again turned in a creditable showing. After a three year reign as Eastern Conference champions, the Don Harriers had to settle for a tight second place behind Fullerton who had been beaten once by SAC this year. Proving his distinction again as a great coach, John Ward had this to say, Possibly it was something some- where along the line I missed or did wrong because we beat FJC once and I felt we could do it again, but it was as though the Conference Meet was anti-climax. IT ' S OVER and Mike Maneil tries to relax as he reaches for his place number in the Southern California Finals. 18 CROSS COUNTRY is iruly the correct name for this sport typified in this section of the Southern Cahfornia Meet. Maintaining good position while doing their best to conserve energy, Sal Mendoza and Dennis McMullin give their all for themselves, Coach Ward, and Santa Ana.

Second row: Paul Bourne, Roy Irwin, Ed Clark, Dave Laskey, Larry Lefner, Dave Zemer, Bob Christie, Ric Gaskins, Tim Mauldin, Tom Pagan, and Coach Rick Rowland. Starting his second year at SAC, Rick Rowland coached his poloists to the best win-loss record in Don history. Having the largest team turnout to date, Coach Rowland had a fine foundation to base the season on. The ability lacked by the team was made up in spirit. Coach Rowland ' s enthusiasm was reflected in the exceptional degree of team effort. Suffering from both injuries and ineligible players, the Don tanksters pulled together to score a successful season by bringing in a third in the Southland Invitational, the Consolation trophy in the Southern Cal J.C. Ivitational, and a second place berth in the San Diego Tournament. SAC missed the first place spot in a overtime game against Fresno State ' s varsity. At the sports banquet Coach Rowland said that prospects look good for ' 65 and the boys will surprise the people of the community and conference next year. 120 IN BEST WIN-LOSS SEASON. FINAL DEFENSE for SAC in this play is Goalie Dave Gross who prepares to stop an attempt by a Los Angeles City College poloist to score.

Since Pritle took over coaching the Dons, his squads have suffered only a handful of defeats with the present linksmen unbeaten up until publication time. The 1965 edition just may be Pritle ' s best. Opening the season against powerful Long Beach, the Dons prevailed 57-15. Long Beach had been considered either num- ber one or two in the state featuring four former GIF champions. L.A. State became the second victim to fall to SAC 39-13 with El Cami no Col- lege next on the short end of a 49-23 score. SAC faced their stiffest competition in the Eastern Conference, Fullerto? Orange Coast, in the first EC dual matches. Santa Ana won with a combined scoring average of 76.4 compared to Fuller- ton ' s 78.8 and Orange Coast ' s 80.1 mark. The Dons figured to take the EC crown and possibly conclude the golfing sea- son with a state championship. 122 TO BE STATE CHAMPIONS. If. , J( ' . - .

DON BASKETBALL WAS VICTOR SQUAD MEMBERS: (l.-r.): Harvey McMeekin, Dennis Bugbee, John Dail, Pat Watt, Dennis Schultz, Bruce Bradley, Tim Owens, Jim Beal, Coach Bob Wilhelm, Terry Boyd, Doug Sorey, Ron Lutz, Don Klingensmith, Dave Lien, Dale Finney, and Bruce Chase. Coach Bob Wihelm ' s second season at Santa Ana could be summed up in one word, frustrating . The Dons finished the 1964-65 campaign with a 15-16 record with a 6-8 EC mark good for sixth place losing 6 games by 4 points or less. The Dons opened their conference play fresh from a second place finish in the Hancock Tournament losing in the finals to San Jose 80-78. The first game was with ancient rival Fullerton, which was rated a early pick for first place in the conference. The Dons played well but lost in the final seconds 54-52. Wilhelm termed this defeat a tremendous letdown for the boys . A 71-56 rebound win over Citrus gave Santa Ana fans hope for a run for first place. However, the most crushing loss of the year followed. SAC dropped a 68-67 overtime verdict to San Bernardino to dampen early title hopes. Things went from bad to worse as the Dons lost three more games before getting back into the win column. After knocking off ChafFey 73-63, the Dons came up with one of their greatest eflforts in history by sneaking by Fullerton 64-62. The win came on the Fullerton home court, something that only one other SAC team managed in the last 23 years. Picking up momentum, the Dons avenged their earlier loss to San Bernardino 81-76 and turned the tables on Orange Coast 74-72. After falling to a early 1-5 EC record. Coach Wilhelm regrouped his forces to finish strongly. I ' m really proud of this team, we could have easily folded, but the team never gave up and made their season a worthwhile one. lOUS OVER SACS RIVALS IN 64-63 GOOD DEFENSE is portrayed here by Harvey Mc- iVIeekin (24) as he ruins an attempt, made by a Citrus player, to Score. ALMOST THERE, Dale Finney (44) ;ives that extra effort in order to insure that two point goal as John Dail (35) prepares for a possible rebound. A JUMP BALL starts the ame and another season for the Don takers. This week ' s starters seem to be (l.-r. in white) Don Klin(;ensmith (20, Pat Watt (. ), Bnice Chase (34), Dale Finney (44) and John Dail (35). TEAM ACTION puts John Dail in scoring position after the play was set up by Dale Finney (44), Don Klingensmith (23), Bruce Chase (34) and Terry Boyd (3), in an upset victory over OCC. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL DEFENSIVE FAILURE on the part of Citrus shows Klingensmith (23), after breaking the double team, poised ready to score two points. %. f }Hi a« H -«. ,■ • ' • ' ' .11, MP: 1 : w f A mm m f0m IHI K 4? f s S qKjKHp DOUBLE TEAM defense was put up against Don Klingensmith late in the Citrus game in an effort to stop any Don play before it started.

HAPPEN WHEN SAC MEETS RIVALS PROBING A WEAK SPOT, Terry Boyd (3) keeps the ball moving while trying to catch this Fullerton player off balance. REBOUND CHAMPS, John Pitts (45) and Dale Finney (44), show the aRKressive close action Kes to take possession of the ball. COACH WILHELM PUTS MORE VARIED EMOTIONS from just a few minutes of play shows the strain that SAC ' s Basket- ball coach suffers. Wilhelm depicts the action on his face as (1) an irate referee blows the whistle, (2) a decision is to be made between officials, (3) the wrong decision was reached, (4) a hazardous play unfolds and (5) relief comes at half-time. 128 THAN TIME INTO THIS SPORT TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE of a seemingly helpless Riverside man, John Pitts (45) uses this lofty perch for a better shot at the basket. A SLIGHT DISAGREEMENT broke out when one or two players from the Long Beach team didn ' t realize that SAC had possession of the ball. FIRST LINE of defense is being set up by Pat Watt (33) who has this Chaffey player well covered from his forward position. TEAM MEMBERS Bottom Row (l.-r.); Larry Miller, Terry Ramussen, Tony Gleason, David Laskey, Larry Lefner, Charlie Edgerton, Jim Stickler, Richard Cook. Second Row: Rich Peters, Tim Henrick, Randy Beaton, Larry Felix, Wayne Goddard, Tom Fagan, David Zemer, Bruce Boer, Terry Reish and Coach Rick Rowland. SWIMMING COMES INTO ITS OWN The sport of swimming has finally arrived at Santa Ana. After many years of frustration, our swimmers are becoming an Eastern Conference powerhouse. Usually either Orange Coast or Fullerton would win the championship with the Dons near the bottom in final standings, however, this is no more. This spring the SAC aquamen broke most of the existing records while com- piling outstanding new ones. Opening the season with Cal Tech, the Dons got win number one. Traveling to Occidental, the Dons came home with one of the biggest upsets in SAC history by winning 49-46. Next coach Rick Rowland took the team on a Northern trip where in four days the swimmers had four dual meets. Only a loss to the powerful Stanford frosh marred the venture. Chaffey became the first EC foe to fall to SAC 67-28. In the same meet the tanksters lost to the second best junior college swim team in the state, Bakersfield, 49-45 on a disqualification. Coach Rowland wanted a win over Fullerton in the second EC dual meet more than anything. Competing without the services of one of the better Don swimmers, the team lost to the Hornets on the final event of the day to make the final score read Fullerton 50, SAC 43. Ahead for Santa Ana includes the big one. Orange Coast, and the Eastern Con- ference Meet. With a concentrated team efFort, Rowland felt that the Dons could finish right up there. 130 « . -- S- ? ' SPLIT SECOND TIMING is involved everytime Tony Gleason has to breath in this event, the Butterfly, which is one of the most exhausting experiences in swimming. PERFECT BALANCE is required to be able to perform some thirty feet above the water as Richard Cook earns a second place with his teammate, Don Stewart, taking first against Chaffey in the conference opener. V ,.  ' FOR THE DONS THIS YEAR. DOUBLE SCORER, Tony Gleason seems to be a sure thing in the 200 and 500 freestyle after beating the NCAA District Cham- pion.  -   ' ; BUTTERFLY ACE, Larry Lefner, is one of the many strong points in this year ' s team. Finishing second in the conference last year, Lefner looks to- ward bettering that this season. THE BACKSTROKE, shown here by Randy Beaton, can be one of the most dramatic events of the sport. «fc 131 TRACK LOOKS TOWARD ITS TRACK SQUAD MEMBERS Bottom Row (l.-r.): Steve Ledbetter, Rolland Jerue, John Johnston, James Burton, Wilbert Shaw, Gary Stratton, Fred KuUer, Eddie Preston, Dave Eckert, Herinan Grimes, Glen White. Second Row: Vol Cantrell, Dennis McMullen, Mike Eck, Dan Morales, Leonard Buchanan, Bill Delaney, Richard Fox, Steve Schrock, Ed Caruthers, Dave Norton, Bill Campbell. Third Ron: Mike Manell, Bob Stephan, Bob Skanmes, Mike Hoehl, Sal Mendoza, Louie Munoz, Mike Davis, Bob Smith, Tim Brown, Bob Jones, and Jim Benish. To date, SAC has won 38 straight duel meets and, having beaten their stiffest competition, are in line for their fourth consecutive EC crown. Fullerton again stands between the Dons and the crown but, as before, the red tide isn ' t going to be stopped by a few hornets. To put a sad note on the season, one of the top coaches in the nation is retiring from the head track coach post here at Santa Ana. But Coach John Ward has his final squad in a fine position to rate among the better clubs. With many returning lettermen from the California State Championship team of last year, these cindermen are again a great potential threat. As State Champions, the 1964 Dons had a fine composite of not only national record holders, but Olympic stars. This year we will be strong in the sprints and weak in the field events . Coach Ward mentioned, and we could possibly lose 36 points in four events. But so far, the Dons have been coming on strong in the pole vault, shot put, broad jump and with SAC ' s Olympic high jumper Ed Caruthers, who has done 7 1 , the possible point loss has been narrowed to approximately 20 points. So, as a final tribute to John Ward, it looks as though the 1965 track men are going to give him another Eastern Conference Champion- ship. 132 JOHN WARD, in his first year at SAC, was already showing his capability by producing the finest track team seen in several seasons, one which took second in the conference standings of 1938. FOURTH STRAIGHT EC CROWN TEAM SPIRIT is shown by the Dons even in this sport, which is purely one of the individual. Leading the field is Mike Eck, followed by Dan Morales, Mike Hoehl, and Gil Rangel. SPRAYING SAND marks the spot of Gibson ' s landing, and it put him in good scoring position, however, (below) the jump had it ' s drawbacks. He sprained his ankle. LEAPING HIGH into the air, Albert Gibson ' s jump looks good. Sf:, i ' OLYMPIC HIGH JUMPER. Ed Caruihcrs, shows the form that won a fourth place tic for him in the lyCf Tokyo Olympic Games. Because of more misses, Ed placed eighth. 133 REIGNING STATE CHAMPIONS SPEED MERCHANT, Fred Kuller, pulls up from behind to burn a tired Orange Coast Man in the 440 relay. Kuller also doubles in the 100 and 220 yard dashes. COMPLETE CONCENTRATION is shown in this mile relay hand-off between Bill Campbell and Dave Norton. Five or six instructors shown in this picture alone illustrates the great support given our athletes by the faculty. ,,— 3S UP AND OVER, one of the big questions for the ' 65 spikers is their ability in the field events.

STRATEGY IS Coal here he discusses teJ Crane before one ofl Russell Chesley ' s by-word; tactics with letterman Gary conference matches. Defending Eastern Conference Champions Santa Ana ' s squad, under the guidance of Russ Chesley, was victorious for the second consecutive year in defending its title. The only flaw on a perfect win-loss record was a pre-season practice match loss to Long Beach. This was the first team to defeat SAC in two years. After ironing out early season problems in team strategy, the racketmen worked their way to a perfect 9 win, no loss record in Eastern Conference play. During this campaign there was more pressure on the players. Any team with a losing record could make their season a worth- while one by knocking us off in conference play, said Chesley. Strong team unity combined with depth was a key factor in this year ' s victories. Nearly all the players this year hail from Santa Ana High School where, during their three-year stint, they were considered part of the strongest high school team in the state. An unexpected but valuable addition to this year ' s team was Robert Lind who, after spending one year at Berkeley as the No. 2 man on the Frosh team, came back to SAC and joined many of his old high school team mates to make this one of SAC ' s best years in Eastern Conference tennis play.

Graduation ceremonies were combined with those of Santa Ana High School until 1919 when the graduating class had increased to sixteen girls. Enrollment at the College has jumped from the original twenty-five students in 1915 to more than five thousand students in 19G3. Now, the graduates total more than two hundred, and the figure continues to grow. SOPHOMORE CLASS COUNCILS Fall Semester (l.-r.): Marilyn Youel, Paul Kong, Tom Garrett, David Zweig, President.

SOPHOMORE CLASS COUNCIL With the arrival of a new form of government to the campus this year, the Sophomore Class also followed the trend of changing government. Altering their existing Constitution, their purpose was to give the common student a closer association with student government. This was accomplished through discussions, and debates over things most vital to Santa Ana College. Among their Fall semester activities were passing out copies of the Bill of Rights to local churches and sponsoring the first Hello Dance of the year. Spring found council members busy planning two noon dances, a beard growing contest, and a booth for Gypsy Doodle as well as the class project.

SANTA ANA CORONA DEL MAR Dear Staff, Perhaps as you look at these pages covered with some of the most unusual remnants of the year ' s negative collec- tion, you will remember the fun as well as the many frus- trating hours we have spent in creating our book. Jim, thank you so much for your help and advice. Your versatility and conscientiousness ' were invaluable in keeping everything together and running comparatively well. You made things much easier for me when every- thing seemed to be falling apart. Confidently tackling the huge task of filling reams of paper with copy and layouts were Carl, Carolyn, Ron, Dave, Elora, Bob, Mike, and Mary. Thank you, you did a fabulous job. Marlene and Fanch, thank you for all your work and thoughtfulness above and beyond the call of duty. John, the artwork is beautiful, you should be very proud of it, I certainly am. Selling ads and helping in many of the varied aspects of yearbook production, Risa, you did a fine job. Always standing by with camera, strobe, and film ready to complete even the most unusual assignment were Del Ario photographers Steve Nelson and Steve Fuller. Bill, thank you for your help and tea and all, you were just perfect. And Gary, (as C.V. says, my poetic Photographer ), I sometimes wondered what I would do with you, but I never could have made it without you. Thank you for everything; the pix, captions, copy, photo lessons, consola- tion, and orange juice bars. C.V., I may have done some crazy things, and you may have ulcers, but I ' m confident that we can be very proud of the 1965 Del Ano. Thank you staff, it was very hectic, but also quite un- forgettable. Sincerely, {2Aj ?yxd d Editor-in-chief 1965 Del Ano 174 EDITORS NOTE: The artwork in the 50th anniversary Del Ano has been selected to reflect the significant growth that has changed Santa Ana College over a period of half a cen- tury.
