PAUL VAN ALSTINI3 President, Fall Semester The Associated Student Body Commission of the Fall semester was outstanding for its executive and legisf lative abilities. Led by Student Body President Paul Van Alstine, much was accomplished during this term. Perhaps the most important legislative step was taken when this body voted more than 35400 of student body funds to be used for the purchase of a public address system and equipment. This system, one of the most valuable of ASB. properties, is used at all games, dances, motionfpicture showings, as well as the trifweekf ly outdoor noon programs. Helen Jones, VicefPresident, in addition to serving as chairman of the Presidents Club, engineered one of the most successful student talent assemblies yet seen on this campus. The Men's Do was handled by Bob Simpf son, Men's Representative, who also instigated the inf stallation of chenille sports letters. Don Murchison, Commissioner of Arts, planned an outstanding semester's program in the entertainment field, while Betty Wells, Women's Representative, sucf cessfully led A.W.S. activities. Editing of the student hand book, 193667, was handled by Shirley Tyler, Com' missioner of Publications, who also carried commission business to the Samojac for publication. Virginia Wells, as Commissioner of Records kept a workable history of business transacted, while Ray Shearer handled student body finances and assisted at the May Carnival in the Spring. . 18 I-tssnciated Student FALL Su IIILEY TYLER Commissioner of I'ubI1'r'atz9ns DON IVIUKCIIISON Commissioner of A rls BIC'l t'Y WVELLS .-1.W.S.

Pl'l'Sid1'llL Dorf MIJRCHISON President, Spring Semester Candidates for Associated Student Body offices for the Spring semester publicized their campaign platforms for the first time at the College. Practically universal throughout the campaign promises was that of revised budget allocations. A step toward complete satisfaction of campus clubs and activities was witnessed when the Commission opened one of its meetf ings to organization representatives, allowing them to cut their own budgets. Greater satisfaction with ref gard to amounts allocated to the various groups was reached in this way. The most outstanding undertaking of the Spring Com- mission was the annual May Carnival and Dance. Led by President Don Murchison, and Vice President Virf ginia Wells, this annual fete proved most successful. More than 20 clubs were represented by booths. The May Dance was handled by Jane Riley, Women's Repf resentative. Men's Affairs, handled by Verne Peckham, enjoyed great popularity. The Men's Do, intrafmural sports, and the Spring Boxing Tournament all rested in his hands. Donna Stewart, Commissioner of Records, kept a record of Commission business. Entertainment for the Spring term was planned by Ed Wheeler. Outstanding assemblies, dances, and hops were features of the arts program. Instrumental in the adoption of the revised budget system was Finance Commissioner jack Tobin. 19 JANE RILEY President Spring Semester BETTY WELLS President Fall Semester One triumph after another is always expected of the A.W.S. and always accomplished by the ceaseless and untiring board members, supported by the femf inine faction of the campus. The plans are carefully agreed upong the Entertainment, Publicity, Refresh- ment, and Art chairmen all begin to function immef diately and to this cooperation the women of the col' lege owe a vote of thanks for the many delightfully entertaining and educational affairs which have been held. The fall semester was ably executed by Betty Wells, who exemplified the ideal in presidents. Jane L, anvil. 431 I Board Riley acted as VicefPrcsident, Clive Cilker, Secretary, Gist Pearce, Treasurer. The usual number of taste' fully designed teas and dinners were presented to the women students and a Halloween Party proved a hilarious success, with the men as guests. A Christmas party and a party in honor of the faculty were given in the fall semester. They also swelled the Student Loan Fund by 3100. The spring semester was under the able leadership of jane Riley, with Lillian Bergamo acting as Vice' President, Marjorie Salisbury, Treasurer, and Sally Peterson, as Secretary. Top row: Fetherolf.

L W N Hnnnr Scholarship June 1935 Distinct recognition is awarded each year to those students who cut a path in the mountains of campus life by contributing service, leadership, charf acter, and, above all, scholarship, toward the building of a stronger institution. They are not the self' centered fgimmefpigsj intellectuals who take away from the campus in the form of knowledge, giving nothing in return. Rather they are the ones who give freely of their time, who divide it carefully he' tween service to the campus and scholastic achievef ments. They keep a proper balance between their PEARL CARTER TY JURRAS selffinterests, and interests in their associates at col' lege. They form the hearth upon which the fire of true scholarship and service blazes so brightly. Six members of last june's graduation class who were recognized for their fine achievements were Pearl Carter, Nesta Williams, Dorothy Griffith, Morris Shoop, Paul Chitwood and Ty jurras. Honor Scholarship was granted them because they represented most fully, from a rich list of pros- pects, the qualities which the Junior College fosters: character, leadership, scholarship and service.

The ingenious fall Delta class members, with Ellwood Ginn as president, hit upon a superb plan. They obtained colorful school stickers, an addition to any vehicle feven Hal Haltefsj, which they sold for the phenomenal price of ic. This scheme reaped a harvest. The spring class joined them in presenting the gift of remembrance and good will to the camf pus. The Delta dinnerfdance, and highlight of the so' cial aifairs of the semester, was held at the Deauville Beach Club, with great success. Ivfany, many couples dined and danced. The spring semester found the presidency in the hands of that popular manfaboutfcampus, Dana Benf nctt, who turned out great plans to the pleasure of his classmates. The highfnote was struck in April when Graumans Chinese Theatre was the spot picked. The class and other members of the student body attended a movie, and afterward traveled on for dancing. The Spring Deltas proved themselves superior in athletics by giving the faculty a superftrouneing in volleyball. They were a very active crowd and through the inspired leadership of Dana Bennett, many great plans were made and carried out successf fully. At the time of this writing, plans are in prof gress for a vera, vera swish dinnerfdance to be held at the Wilshire Bowl, May 28. A scrumptious affair will be enjoyed to the lilting native chants of Harry Owens and his band, lately of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel at Honolulu. The semesterly dinnerfdance is always the highlight of the Delta Activities and is anticipated with great enthusiasm, since it is the closing function of the class as a combined unit.

Gamma Class It seems to be a very strange observation that the Gamma class always contains the cream of the school and this year's class was no exception. Les Allen, class president, heads this smallest but mightiest group that has ever been found at this Jaysee. The class was under the regime of Eddie Wheeler in the fall semesf ter, Blondie Herbie Sheetz followed Jane Riley in the spring term, ofhciating as VieefPresident. Bobbie Preston was SecretaryfTreasurer in the fall semester, handing her moneyfbags over to that little darkfhaired gal from the south, Mary Cantrell, in the spring. To these officers, the two sponsors, C. D. Daggs and E. W. Franz, and the splendid spirit of the class is due the credit for the success the class enjoyed this year. A large majority of the school's leading lights are found in the Gamma class: determined Eddie Wheel' er acted as Commissioner of Arts and was responsible for all the splendid assemblies presented this term. In the fall semester Prexy Don Murchison was numbered among the Gammas and held this same position. Jack Tobin and Verne Peckham, those inseparable two, were Commissioner of Finance and Men's Representaf tive respectively, both doing splendid work in behalf of the school. Hardfworking Bob Harris was head of the SpinfDrift sales committee and spent long hours in making posters, organizing salesmen, and harrassing unsuspecting individuals. Sports were represented by Shorty Stratford in inf tramural sports. Frank Burgess, Jack Townsend and J. P. Smith were baseball stars. Followers of the cinf derfpath were Prillwitz, Vorndam, Davis and Peckf ham. Drama was upheld by Al Kline and the brunette Virginia Wells, who was also Vicefpresident of the student body. The everfpresent Peckham was also a Thespian. The girls were not slighted in the distribution of talents, Mary MacDonald was VicefPresident of the Y, Betty Kreichbaum held the position of President of the W.A.A. Two beautiful candidates for May Queen were also selected from this class in the persons of Evelyn Baxter and Jean Leyden. Cake sales seemed to be the theme song of the Gamf ma Class this semester. Many hungry cakefeaters in their incessant efforts to raise money for their annual dance, about the campus could always count on them to come through with a cake sale.

Beta Class The fall semester opened with election of oflicers, and rushed along to an active semester under the lead' ership of Jack Townsend, with Kay Brookes acting as vicefpresident, and Mary McDonald ably assisting as secretary. The classic hospitality of the Beta class was shown early in the semester when it acted as host to the Alphas in the semesterly AlphafBeta dance, a suf preme success. Prexy was snatched off to some deserted mountain cabin by Alpha aspirants to fame. A rescue scene was enacted by means of a speedy VfS and the Brawl prof ceeded as scheduled, with an upset for the Betas, who were overwhelmed by the Alpha brawlsters. The fall class of Betas was well supplied with shin' ing lights in the field of athletics-Jimmy Lenahan, captain of the football squad, and Eddie Held. In the spring semester Norman Glickman was unanimously elected to act as president, with Bert Walker taking over the duties of vicefpresident, Lil' lian Bergamo, popularfgirlfonfcampus, elected as sec' retary, Al Wright took charge of the treasury. This board was aided ably by Fritz Kennedy, enthusiastic, likeable yellfleader, and Al Moore, who held the out' standing position of brawl captain. As it was an ingenious crowd, a body-guard was elected to accompany the president until brawl time, The ironfmen were Paul Metz, John Dixon, Don Uwens, Norm Duff, Richard Cox, Art Braslow, Abe Freedman, and Bob Tapia. After a fakefjailing of the president, the Betas came through until brawlftime without losing their president. The Beta Board of Strategy brought the class through with flying colors in the semester's mudffest. Then, too, there were the super AlphafBeta dance and the cake sales!

Bruce Dobler officiated as Presif dent, Dick Cox, VicefPresident, Imogene Keeler, Sec' retaryfTreasurerg Glenn Stimpson was Brawl Captain. In the spring term Lloyd Hoisch from Los Angeles High headed this small and mighty group, but an up' set in the middle of the semester resulted in the reins being put into the capable hands of Shirley Clair. Emilie Cook was SecretaryfTreasurer and Cliff Grayf behl headed the brawlers. Advisers for the class were L. J. Adams and C. O. Broders. It has been traditional in the past for the Alpha class to kidnap the Beta president previous to the Brawl and to hold him captive until the mudfslinging contest is well under way.

Brconans this when the morning paper came out with a picf ture of their victimftofbe behind bars in the Santa Monica city jail. The Betas, sensing the Alphas' snatching idea, had had their president voluntarily locked up. Wrath is the only word that can be utilf ized to express the feelings of the Alphas. Whether this Alpha class will ever live down the awful beating they suffered at the hands of the bat' tering Betas at the traditional AlphafBeta Brawl is a question to be debated. For the first time in six years the Alphas were defeated and failed to run off with the laurels at this semifannual event, but into every life a little rain must fall and theirs were not excepf tions. To offset this catastrophe the AlphafBeta dance held this spring was pronounced the best in the his' tory of the school. There is much promising material found in the men in this class for sports, being represented by Bud Bur' dick, Jack Cohen, and Walt Little in track. Herbie Spurgeon was on the gym team, Chuck White, Lloyd Hoisch and Dumilieu were the pillfchasers of the group. Carlson represented the men in the water. Popular women about the campus were Margie Crandall, Aetna Tutt, Ruth Stien, and Ruda Fryling, Girls found on the A.W.S. Board are Kay Hall and Kay Bohm. Helen Smith took a place on the HY board. If the class fulfills the promise it now holds it will eventually be one of thc best ever graduated from Jaysee.

The student body has become accustomed to looking forward eagerly to the presentation of the various plays each semester by this versatile organization. During the fall semester, under the presidency of Hal Halter, was offered a thrilling mystery and sus' pense, Full Moon . Charles Erickson gave his first and phenomenal appearance in the part of the inoonf crazed killer. joan Serivcns gave her initial polished performance with our old troopers Betty Rich, Don Murchison and Clarice Hawkins. Weeks of preparation and rehearsal were eulminf ated when the college's longest onefacter was pref sented in December. Wild Hobby Horses starring Charles Erickson, Betty Gray Bowling and Joan Scrivens. In support of these characters we found Don Murchison, Verne Peckham and Clarice Hawkf ins. This presentation, a gigantic success, sent the audience from the auditorium landing the fine work of all concerned with the production, especially the untiring efforts of Mr. Sheldon M. Hayden. Dealing with the trials and tribulations of an averf age American family in a typically American town, That Ferguson Family , a comedy in three acts, had a packed auditorium literally rolling in the aisles when it was presented in February. Pierced through with witty dialogue and with the classic adflib of some of the members of the cast, i.e., Don Murchison and Charles Erickson. Setting a precedent this year, the Athenaeum com' bined with the Scribblers' and the Cine to produce 'LThe Deserted Island , script by Earlene Brookes, a melodramatic mystery film.

Bahamian Eluh Fortunate indeed was the Bohemian Club and the school when The American Artists Group was obtained to give an exhibit here of original etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts, by American artists, num' bering among them Rockwell Kent, John Marin, Allen Lewis, J. J. Lankes, and many other prominent conf temporary artists. These men and women are repref sented in the leading museums of the country. Through the efforts of Waldemar Johansen, art club sponsor, the show was put on, October the 26th. Trips to the Los Angeles Art Museum and the Huntington Library were two memorable events on the club social calendar. Another feature of the club's work which added greatly to the enjoyment of the student body, was the presentation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame at a night assembly. The club contributed generously to the school with their work on the stage sets, every one of which was flawless and accomplished the impossible of making the stage look professional. Really breathftaking was the night of the semi' annual Beaux Arts ball in which artists, sculptors, signfpainters, and photographers extended themselves in aflafsurrealistic costumes. Taking the prize for the hestflooking booth at the May Fete the Bohemian Club really outdid themselves with a French sidewalk cafe. Spaghetti was served at the cozy little tables, which had candles burning on them, giving a very arty atmosphere. Betty Strock and Lois Cohn, president of the club, were the charmf ing waitresses. Membership in this club is open to all students in school, regardless of their artistic ability. The purpose of the club is to create an interest and an appreciation of art, as well as to provide social activities for its members.

BAVEI: Bntan With the noble purpose of studying the botanical wonders of Nature, the fall semester, under the leadf ership of Bill Cunningham, president, Billie Mae Weaver, vicefpresident, and Dolores Lansing, secref taryftreasurer, carried out plans for many outdoor trips. One of these trips was in the form of a picnic to Sherwood Lake for the purpose of collecting specif mens. This active group placed Santa Monica Jaysee on the lips of the populace this spring, when they col' lected, classified and exhibited over two hundred specif mens of wild flowers in the Women's Bungalow. With that dynamic voicefoffthefcampus, Harry Jung, acting as president in the spring, great things were put across by this club. L'National Park Night drew a large crowd because of the presence of numerous rangers and naturalists. An illustrated lecture was given on the wild flowers Eluh of Lassen National Park. The members went home lauding the study of wild flowers and undoubtedly at this moment the idea of a gigantic wild flower project was developed. Because of the untiring efforts of seventy Botany students, a Wild Flower display was held on April 6, from eight o'clock A.M. until nine P.M., which was viewed by two thousand persons. It was the most comf plete in this vicinity. A trip to Kern County flowerf Helds by a group of twentyffive constituted the gathf ering of the flowers. Natural color photos of the growing flowers and shrubs were taken at this time and presented to a meeting of the club later in the year. This collection was completely classified and artistically arranged in natural settings, showing hours of hard work on the part of the club members. Vfhen questioned about the project, one befsmudged, dirt' streaked Harry Jung shrieked It was colossal! Top row: Newman. Yamagishi. Fukusawa. Danks. Kirton, Pullin, Darling. Erdmann. Marcus.

The Cine Club can always claim this distinction when the results of its semesterly work are flashed across the screen to the impatient audience assembled for the gala occasion. The club has a twofold purpose-that of preservf ing, in newsfreels, outstanding events in campus life, as well as that of encouraging the campus camera bugs to bigger and higher things in the way of cross' current shots of college life. Bob O'Neil, the super cinematographer, Emcee'l and college commentator, led the club through a very successful fall semester as president of the club. He was aided very ably by his two assistants, Bill johnke and Bob Goplerud, in formulating plans for the im' mense celluloid show. GwenfTate Kramer served very 40 lfluh capably as secretaryftreasurer for the fall semester. The spring semester began by a great deal of interf est being stimulated in the activities of the club when the Campus Newsreelw was shown. This was a very polished performance because of the commentating of Bob C'Neil over the PA. system while the newsreel was in progress. Over onefhalf mile of film was shown, with parts done in color, which was something revo- lutionary. Three new sponsors were acquired this semester in the persons of Edward W. Franz, Charles F. Phipps and Edward T. Ruenitz. The club membership num' bers fortyfiive which is an allftime record and exemplif fies the increasing interest in the club as a progressive unit in our college makefup.

Highlights in the histories of Mexictu, japan, China and a score of other counf tries were presented to the student body in the form of a weekly article posted in the bulletin case, ref minding the campuslites that the world is not all cenf tered around S,M.J.C. This broadening feature, highly enjoyed, exemplified the motto of this active organization: The best way to appreciate Amerif can civilization is to understand its Cosmopolitan sources. The fall semester found Graham Nelson continf uing his job of president, which was a carryfover from the previous year. His fine work of previous semesters warranted this rcfelection. Mr. Graham acted as sponsor. In addition to social functions, the club had very definite projects for improving our own campus which they carried out so succesfully. The bookf drive, inaugurated the previous year, was rcforganized and resulted in our library's receiving many valuable copies of magazines and books which we otherwise could not have had. Not content with these accomplishments, the club undertook the job of landscaping the front ground of the Music Bungalow. Through these efforts of the club now we have a much more attractive approach to the Fine Arts bungalow. The spring semester found john Wyiiii acting as president, and with fine results. Through his leadf ersliip many evening getftogethers were arranged at which speakers on many cosmopolitan problems were introduced. el 'Top row: Glickman. Charles. P. Newman. Rasura. C-ayla.

Enqillenrs' Eluh The Engineers' Club boasts the largest number of sponsors and probably the largest number of men in its membership. Believing that they could solve the traffic problem by engineering, these embryo policemen presented H. H. Brown of the public safety department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Brown's lecture was accompanied by pictures. Their Held trips to the El Segundo Standard Cil Refinery and the giant Columbia Steel Mill, located in Torrance, were both visited by more than fifty men. Cn these trips the complete processes of the two facf tories were explained to the group. Another speaker the club presented was Mr. H. McGill, chief engineer of the Vultee Aircraft Co. of Downey, California, who spoke on the subject of Cpf portunities in the Eield of Aeronautical Engineering. Enlivened was the May Carnival by the addition of a booth of darts and balloons, the object of the game was to pop the balloons, which were named after prof fessors, with a dart. Cn the 14th of May approximately seventyfive en' gineers trekked to Mt. Wilson observatory where they viewed a one hundred inch telescope and saw the mirf acle of the heavens laid out before them through a seventyfiive inch lens. By this great advantage it was possible to see all the constellations in the sky. Need' less to say these young astronomers now spend much of their time starfgazing. The purpose of this club is to acquaint the men as much as possible with the different fields of engineerf ing through the use of motion pictures, field trips, and lectures. The trips this year proved exceptionally educational and will long be remembered by those stuf dents who participated in them.

R. R. Reukema, English instructor, is sponsor' ing the club in its gentle art of the foils. Fred Bruderlin, U. C. L. A. fencing captain, was guest speaker at the first semester banquet which was held at the Deauville Club. At the conclusion of the meeting he was given a chromium plated fencing foil by the members of the club. Mr. Bruderlin acted as coach for the group during the fall term showing them the fundamentals of form and stressing the importance of footfwork in the mastery of the sport. Bill Worth acted as president of the club during the lirst semester and was unanimously elected for the second term. Verne Peckham and Stanley Altman acted as SecretaryfTreasurer for the fall and spring term respectivelyg much of the success of the club was due to these two fellows. Meetings are held every Thursday from 12 to 12:30. Practice workouts take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30 to 4:30. Contributing their share to the success of the May Fete members acted the part of nigger babies in a baseball throwing boothg their excellence in dodging balls was probably due in part to their skill in dodgf ing sword points. The first fencing tournament in the history of the college was inaugurated this spring from which the returns have not yet been receivedg it was so success' ful that it will probably become an annual event.

Morgan to the student body on November 5, 1936. Mr. Morgan spoke on The Patriotism of Peace. It proved to be the highf light of the Forum Club's work this term. Club members carry on various discussions through' out the year on national questions. Up for discussion this year was The Policies of President Roosevelt, this meeting was led by B. A. Bernard, of the Social Science Department, and Dr. Sandmeyer, Dean of Men. A topic of importance was Proposed Amend' ments to the California Constitution. Speakers for the term included Eliot Taylor, who had just returned from teaching in Albania, he spoke on 'kConditions in the Mediterranean Area. C, C. Broders of the economics department contributed to one of the meetings with a talk on his tour through England and the Scandinavian countries. Cn Def cember 3, Dr. Fuller, one of the club sponsors, showed a two reel film of the Crient, accompanied by his own comments. Under the presidency of Bob Sandmeyer, who succeeded Lang Cantrell, the club continued its sucf cessful policy of debates in the spring semester. A discussion of President Roosevelt's Supreme Court Policy was held, with both sides of the argument pref sented. Carlyle Brooks upheld the Supreme Court Pennington argued the side of the Presif most interesting current event up for def while Don dent. The bate at this time was the question of collective bargainf the policy of nonfunionism, with special ing versus mention of the Douglas strike which was in force at that time. Don Pennington upheld the side of capif tal, while labor's view was given by Edward Hamilf ton. Meetings are always concluded with refresh' ments and informal discussions.

The first meeting of the year was in the form of a potf luck supper at the home of Dr. Doty. Hallowe'en was celebrated by a spook party at the home of Frances Simons. With Betty Snyder as President, the club concluded a successful fall semester. Virginia Bearse was elected president for the spring semester and made arrangements for the club to attend the opera Carmen at the Philharmonic Auditorium. Another memorable evening was spent at the Taix French restaurant where members and their friends had dinner, later attending a showing of Les Miserf ablesf' A night assembly was sponsored by the French Club for the student body at which time they presented Edwin L. Munsey, who showed recent motion pictures of a trip which he had taken through France. Chocolate fudge, vanilla fudge, marshmalow fudge and any other kind of fudge you can name were the French Club's contribution to the May Carnival. The fudge was made by willing feminine members of the organization. This organization is open to French students only, as French alone is spoken at their meetings. This use of their French proves to be a great promoter of conf versational ease. Top row: Duff, Northup. Bouchard. Evans. Hartmann. Dyon. Tepper. First raw: Mr. Cowles, Robertson. Simmons. Bearse.

The organization was christened the Huxley Club, in hon' or of the great English Zoologist. Because of its active spirit and unusual projects, its popularity began to spread immediately. Jane Riley was elected president for the fall semesf ter, while John Ingham was vicefpresident. Jean Ley' den was in charge of club notes as secretary. Under the skillful handling of club activities by these three, the Huxleyites can well be proud of their first sef mester of existence. Un November 28, members made an exciting ex' ploration of the wastes of the great western deserts. The excursionists poked around in Mojave, points about the vast Salton Sea, and as far east as the Col' orado desert. The spice of the trip was found in the rainstorms, the bitter cold nights, and the various forms of wild life which they encountered. Results of trip: cacti of very rare species, mice and rats which wcre mounted on the spot, and insects thrown in to complete the collection. The spring semester found Norman Duff, presif dentg Cecil Graefsky, vicefpresident, and lvlary Pin' der, secretary, who made all arrangements for the club activities. The trip, en masse, of the club mem' bers to San Diego was the highlight of the spring semester.

Soest, SecretaryfTreasurerg and Bob Miller, Sgt.fatfArms. At one of the September meetings the plan for the Voluntary Injury Fund was inaugurated, by which those who join might withdraw the sum of onefthird of the total amount accumulated, if necessary, for medical attention in case injuries were sustained eithf er in athletic competition between colleges or in phyf sical education classes. This was accepted. Between the monthly formal meetings, there were various informal meetings, of which the waiting world will never have a written record. Great accom' plishments are boasted for the formal meetings, how' ever, one being the plans for the colossal Vodvil, which was acclaimed a howling success, due to the antics of the team of Dave Crow and Bob Tapia, plus the onefacter lf Men Played Cards as Women Do , fwith sound effects by audiencej an original burlesque by Jimmie McDonald, who acted as cee . This was followed by the featuring of the L'Terrible Four , comprised of our four athletic inf structors. The spring semester found Dana Bennett acting as President, Ed.

In March a very fast afternoon hop was sponsored by this active organization, at which the whole stuf dent body put in an appearance.

Corresponding to the panel method of conducting college work a leader is elected from each section in order to take charge of the meeting and lead the open forums. This arrangement of meetings carries out the name of the club, which is derived from a Greek word that means the effort to understand philosophical problems. Once a month the members meet at night for a social meeting. The outstanding meeting of the past semester was the appearance of two varsity forensic teams of L. A. J. C. They debated the Policy of the Minimum Wage Law. Fall semester programs were under the regime of 53 an Dorothy Mitchell, at which time many speakers were heard and social meetings were held in the afternoon. Fredda McGee was vicefpresident and Margaret Fetherolf completed a competent job as secretary' treasurer. The spring semester saw redfheaded John Rice as president, with Virginia Wells helping him arrange programs in the capacity of vicefpresident. Jean Leyden was in charge of notes for the spring term. kfluch of the success of the club is due to these people with the help of Dr. C. G. Bradford who conf tinued his position as adviser in the spring term. Club membership is open to all persons in philosf cphy anl psychology classes or any students interested in these subjects. The discussions held by these clubs are of great educational value in not only helping to understand problems scientifically but in developing logic. n .L nhl 'Top row: O'Donnell, Hoetger, Britton, VVhite, Farias, Nisl'1i,Jung, Kari, Davenport.

Pre-Med Illuh Startling motion pictures, trips to hospitals, lectures by prominent doctors and successful hops sounded the keyfnote of the most enterprising year of this up and coming bunch of would be cutterfuppers. During the fall semester Dr. Easely of Redondo spoke on his research work in incurable diseases, in which he has made much progress. With his demon' stration of photofmicrography he lectured on Modern Medical Misconceptions . Of great educational value was the assembly presented by Willard Leeds, Pre' Med Prexy for the spring term, at this night assemf bly Dr. Arthur E. Smith, noted authority on plastic surgery, lectured on a colored motion picture dealing with the subject. Faint hearts never belonged in a PrefMed club, so 50 ladies had better beware, especially if films of Appenf dectomies, Hydrophobia and Ectopic Hearts are to be continued as the policy of the PrefMedders. These films were secured from the American Medical Asf sociation by J. H. Williams, sponsor of the club. Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital was the scene of an early fall Held trip for the embryo physicians and surgeons, also prospective nurses. In the spring semesf ter the Loma Linda Hospital and Medical School in Redlands was visited by the group. The Beldt Electrof therapy Clinic in the Wilshire Medical Center was also viewed, But these seriousfminded majors also have time for the frivolities of life, as is proved by the sponsoring of two of the best hops that the walls of the Girls' Gym ever witnessed.

The gavel is laid aside and in its place a gay wit governs the meetings. The purpose is interf club cooperation and joint sponsorship of projects. Presidents' Eluh In the second year of its existence, this club is fulf Hlling the great promise it held forth last year, when this group was Hrst organized from the heads of the clubs in school, having as its chairman the vicefpresif dent of the student body. In the fall semester Helen Jones was at the helm and proved her managing abil' ity when she put on the annual Home Talent Assem- bly with the inimitable jack Lester as emcee of the program. The spring semester saw the one and only Virginia Wells as Prexy, with the large task before her of buildf ing the May Day Carnival into the colossal achieve' ment that it had been in former years, it wouldn't be too much to say that she even topped these previous successful frolics. Spaghetti, nigger babies, sauerkraut and wieners, popcorn, motion pictures, peanuts, ice' cream, kisses and balloons were dispensed under the management of club officers. Returns from the Carnival showed that the total earnings were 356163, and the total sales amounted to over 35200. With all this money circulating on the campus, three clubs were destined to come out in the red. The Art Club won the award for the best decoraf tion, the Botany Club for the best managing of their business-their proceeds amounted to 39.09. The Y. M. C. A. deserved special mention because they took in 358.70 and spent 15 cents. The secret of their success was a nail pounding booth. This club is a boon to overworked treasurers, who do not know where the budget money is coming from or going to. The closer organization of clubs through the means of meetings of the Presidents makes for a unity and cooperation hitherto impossible before its existence. Top row: Allen.

Slzrihhlers' Eluh No organization quite equals this club in taking an unselfish interest in the campus and in the interests of the remainder of the student body. The fall semester was under the executive leadership of Verne Peckham, with Jack Tobin as vicefpresident, Earlene Brookes as secretary, and Virginia Bearse as librarian. During the entire existence of this club, there has been a continuous campaign for manuscripts, which are read and criticized unbiasedly by the members of the club at its evening meetings. These meetings proved to be popular because of the inspiring sponf sorship of Mr. R. K. Reukema. On December 3, the Scribblers sponsored an asf sembly for the entire student body, showing Clymf pic pictures taken in Berlin last year, with Olympic athletes also present at the assembly. This proved a great success and stimulated interest in the Scribf blers' Club as an outstanding organization of the N mamma? '52 campus swirl of clubs. Then came the Scribblers' Edition in the Samojac, which greatly enhanced the value of the school paf per. A banquet at Lucca's successfully completed the fall semester. The spring semester saw Henry johnson become president, Earlene Brookes, as vicefpresidentg Annaf belle Jossman, secretaryftreasurerg and Bob Sandmeyf er, librarian and Samojac representative. The spring semester is always concerned with the publishing of L'Scribblings to which all students of the campus are invited to submit material. Another project this spring was the combination movement of the Cine Club, Athenaeum, and Scribblers to write, produce, and film a movie. Scenario for this was written by Earlene Brookes, also very active in the Athenaeum Club. This was indeed a new movement and one worthy of continuance.

Herb Sheets became the first president, with Ralph johnson as vicefpresident and Dana Bennett as secretary. The officers are all letter' men from last season's swimming team which was dis' continued because of the lack of the necessary com' petition needed to make conference standing. An invitational water carnival was sponsored joint' ly by the Swimming Club and the Santa Monica Jun' ior Chamber of Commerce on the first of May, it took place on the south side of the Santa Monica pier. Invitations were extended to all Southern California junior Colleges. The meet consisted of three events: 200 meters and return, 500 meter race, and a four man 400 meter relay. By a twofpoint margin Los Angeles junior College edged out Santa Monica's team. The score was Los Angeles junior College 20, Santa Ivlonica IS. With second and third paces already cinched in the 500 and 200 meter races, Santa Monica lost the four' man 400 meter relay when Paul Johnson stumbled coming out of the surf and allowed Eschrich to cross the finish line to nab first place. Johnson finished secf ond behind Eschrich in the 200 meter race, with Pete Woodruff taking third place, Eschrich also nabbed first in the 500 meter, edging out Dana Bennett, who finished second, with Herb Sheets in third place. Occidental took team and individual honors, making a clean sweep of both the 500 and 200 meter events and nabbing first place in the fourfman 400 meter ref lay.

This organization was indeed fortunate in obtaining such a versatile personality as sponsor in the person of Mr. Leon Cowles, language instructor. He aided it through the stage of becoming a more popularized club, open to all students on recommendation by board appointed for this purpose. Many evening meetings, which proved hilarious successes, were the center around which the club year revolved. These social gatherings enjoyed speakers and later dancing and refreshments, with all the zip and wit which its many generous members can and do offer to the campus and which brightens it considerf ably. '54 The excursion to Clvera Street for a Mexican din' ner and roaming around through the foreign atmosf phere was a tremendous success. The officers who were in oilice at this time were Hal Halter, president, jane Neilson, vicefpresidentg jean Merrill, secretaryf treasurer, and Don Murchison, sergeantfatfarms. Then came the semifannual banquet, inaugurating Stan Buckley as president, Virginia Wells, as vice president, jean Merrill, secretaryftreasurerg and Car' lyle Brooks, sergeantfatfarms. With these gay persons in office, the members en' joyed some ingenious plans for entertainment and eduf cational purposes. One spring Sunday, the club travf eled enfmasse to Capistrano Mission and enjoyed its lazy Spanish atmosphere and tinkling fountains and on the return trip stopped off at Balboa for a grand time. This trip was the success of the season.

Under the able lead' ership of Frank Johnstone, the plans for the semester were laid and carried out to the letter. Myron McClure, VicefPresidentg Bill johnke, Secretary' Treasurer, Larry Kirten, Athletic Chairman, and Garwin Harris, Social Chairman, presented the strong masculine faction with endless interesting func' tions. Two potluck dinners proved howling successes. When questioned about the culinary accomplish' ments of the members, one fBert Walkerj stated, Why, we do it ourselves . f7????j. A trip to the Hollywood Y.M.C.A. for a swimf fest proved a popular form of entertainment for one evening's social affair. Other evenings were spent in listening to informative and interesting talks with Dr. II. A. Fuller, Dr. Donnan, and Dr. Morgan as speakers, whose respective talks dealt with the Y.M.C.A. in the Orient, illustrated with pictures, biographies of great men, and our educational program, Masquerading under the name of the Y , is found a very active athletic organization. Both footf ball and basketball championships in the school inter- club meets were won by its members. In the spring semester, with Bob Willson acting as President, Bert Walker, Vicefpresidentg and Malcolm Stratford, SecretaryfTreasurer, The Y inauguratf ed the first affair of its kind in the history of the col' lege by sponsoring a series of lectures by Dr. George Colliver, of the College of the Pacific, lecturing upon the Life of Christ and its application to life today.

This most active women's organization enjoyed its usual successful year. The fall semester, under the presidency of Margaret Fetherolf, Mary IvIcDonald, vicefpresident, jane Riley, secretary, and Martha Johnston, treasurer, aiording many popular social gatherings, as well as striking a somewhat deeper note. The HY boasts of 120 members, all of whom co- operate and support the various activities to put them over. One of these activities is the monthly supper party, given at the NYM House. At the September meeting, the speaker at one of the meetings was Mr. Reukema, from our own campus. In Qctober, Dr. V. E. Wilscin, consulting psychiatrist, was guest speaker who talked on his personal experiences in diagnosing various cases. The November meeting was the highlight of the semester, when there was a joint meeting of the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A. After the meal, games and dancing followed in rapid I '56 succession. Everyone went home happy, hoping for another such affair in the near future. The outstanding event in any Y.W. year is the sending of delegates to the Asilomar convention at Monterey, during the Christmas vacation weeks. Rep- resentatives go from various western universities and junior colleges to spend an unforgettable week among the pines of Monterey, discussing various phases of life on the respective campuses, and in enjoying unique social functions. The delegates from Santa Monica in December were Margaret Fetherolf, Jane Riley, and Evelyn Baxter. The spring semester found Marjorie Salisbury ably filling the position of president, Mary McDonald, vicefpresident, Marjorie Wolfe, secretary, and Vera Bobsene, treasurer. More evening dinners and a joint meeting kept the interest of the members at a high pitch. Delegates were sent to a Junior College Conf ference at Fullerton JC. in April. Y. W. C. A.

Thursday evening found every one dashing about in paint streaked smocks, going arty for the occasion and cre- ating spectacles from a dab of red poster paint or a palm branch. New genius sprang from our midst overnight. Nearly every club and class was represented by a booth of some shape or description. The two ref quirements were gayly colored exterior, and tasty, inf expensive wares to force upon all passersfby. The Bohemian Club presented their awed public with the Cafe de Boheme. For the fine art work and decoration, this booth won the Decoration Prize. The superfsalesmen of the day were the Botanists, who won the Management Prize offered for the booth collecting the most proht, They held the allftime recf ord of 559.63 from the sale of pop. As we progressed along the Gay White Way, we were induced to buy spicy cake slices by glowing promises of a fragrant gardenia with the lucky slices. This novel plan was sponsored by the progressive Cos' mopolitans. The climax of the day was the crowning of Miss May Queen at the April Showers dance that evening. The everflovely Donna Stewart was crowned with gardenias, as a symbol of her short, but unforgetable reign, Fcllowing the Queen along the blazing archf way to the throne, were the attendants f- Mary Browne, jean Leyden, Carleen Andrews, and Evelyn Baxter. ,tina if lil ra A We idk Upper left to right are the Travel Clubs confetti booth and the Art Clubs sketching booth with Muriel Bohning being sketched by Bill Braswell.

ELLWOOD GINN EditorfinfChief VERNE B. BRowN Adviser The Spin-Ilrift It is only natural that every institution should wish to record its activities and accomplishments of the year in a chronicle of some sort. Whether it may desire to call upon it for future reference or to compare it with past and successive publications, there is no better means in the Santa Monica Junior College for this purpose than the SpinfD1ift. The greatest burden of responsibility was placed on Ellwood Ginn, head of the yearbook advisory com' mittee and EditorfinfChief, who not only gave orders to his staff, but also took part in every task from the finishing of films to the soliciting of subscriptions for the annual. The faculty was represented on the staff by Verne B. Brown, of the English department, whose valuable aids at crucial moments did much to insure the overcoming of obstacles involved in the publicaf tion of the SpinfD'rift. The progress of the City of Santa Mcnnica was sef lected as the theme of the book. Various angles of this topic were combined in the art work and content. The unique use of the orange and gray color scheme was carried out on the cover and division pages. As' sisting the staff in the planning of the makefup of the book were the Mission Engraving Company and the Carl A. Bundy Quill and Press. Conducting an extensive sales campaign through' out the entire year, Bob Harris did more than his 59 share in boosting the yearbook sales as business man' ager. It was under his guidance that the Talent File Parade assembly was carried out as the starting gun of the subscription drive. Bob also conducted a Spin' Drift sales contest. Winners who were given prizes in form of payments on the book were Dorothy Kel' ley, George Topper, and Harry Venning. E. T. Reuf nitz acted as faculty adviser of the business depart- ment. Handling the art work cleverly and efficiently, Bill Braswell, Art Editor, put in much effort in planning the cover, designs, and backgrounds for club pictures. Waldemar Johansen, instructor of the art department, was ever present with tips from the artistic standf point. Stanley Rollin, who was appointed to Mr. Waldemar's position following his departure, was equally valuable. The photography of the graduating classes and prominent students in various activities was underf taken by the Barnett Studios. Bill johnke and Bob Goplerud were responsible for the shooting and def veloping of the remaining candid, athletic, club, inf formal, and group pictures in the book. They con'- ducted a snapshot contest, the winners of which were Bob Sandmeyer, Jack Leininger, and joe Toyoshima.

Carol Rose turned in her share of material on women's sports. Heading the men's sports division was Fred Brackett, alias Yogi, who effectively recorded the athletic doings of the masculine element of the school. Creating much activity was Annabelle Jossman in charge of the activities. From her pen came the artif cles on dramatics, publications, and the band. The long and short of the school year was brought out in Shirley Tyler's elucidating and ribftickling calendar. Always on the trail of those elusive faculty members, Lewis Darling finally succeeded in rounding them up for their SpinfDrift pictures. Proving that the women in the case are very effecf tive, Ruth Plues and Evelyn Baxter industriously and capably went about the job of planning, collecting and writing up the material for the club stories. It was necessary for them to contact all club presidents and advisers before and after writing the articles. Cn a staff of this type, there is always someone who has to do all the odd jobs such as prooffreading and writf ing miscellaneous stories. Alice Walker was the someone on this staH:, and she more than did her share. With the cooperation and enthusiasm of the staff and the faculty members, the task of publishing the 1937 yearbook was greatly simplified. Both students and instructors enjoyed working on this project, and there is little doubt but that the members of the stuf dent body will enjoy reading it. So the year of 1937 comes to a close.

COULSON Adviser SHIRLEY TYLER Editor, Spring Semester The SHMUJHE The newspaper is the criterion that reflects the ideas of a community. With the height of efficiency it ref views the happenings of the day and quickly molds them into one compact unit of information. As the daily newspaper of a large metropolis gathers and assembles the reactions, policies, and accomplishments of a group of citizens, so the SaMojac absorbs and releases the spirit and philosophy of the Santa Monica junior College. In spite of inadequate equipment and its limited size, the SaMofac is a paper in which this school takes a justifiable pride. From the days in 1929 when Kid Korsair was just trying out his legs and the staff of the SaMofac consisted of a mere handful, this news' paper has been on the upward grade. Improvements have been made in the reporting, photographing, printing, and copy departments. Under the supervision of Edwin R. Coulson, facf ulty adviser and journalism instructor, this year's staff have successfully carried on the publication of this weekly. The staff is made up of students of the two journalism classes and special reporters. It is their duty to see that all the activities and events are covf ered and duly recorded in the SaMojac. As there are outstanding names in all other fields, so there are figures of prominence included in the staffs during both the fall and spring semesters. Louis Virgiel held the position of EditorfinfChief during the first part of the year. He did much to keep the SaMojac running smoothly and the staff on its toes. 61 He was ably assisted at the beginning of the semester by Associate Editor Carol Rose. Because of her resigf nation, Virginia Putnam was promoted to that office. It was Virginia's duty to give out assignments and arrange the general makefup of the newspaper. Shir' ley Tyler, acting in the capacity of Commissioner of Publications and Campus Editor, left no stone un' turned in her effort to introduce innovations in the paper. She is the author of those highlights of campus celebrities, the Yahoos column, which can always be found on the left hand column of the third page. Helen Briggs and Ruth Cavalliere presided at the edif torial desk. The club writefups were in charge of Ruth Plues. At the head of the campus desk were Bill Chernus and Lewis Darling. The social doings of the college students were ably covered by Billie May Weaver, the power behind Society . Betty Gray Bowling, prize reporter and crasher of the Men's Dos' for semesters past, represented the staff as feature writer. Phil Zavitz, originator of The Sportescopen commented on the athletic side of the campus news. He was aided in this difficult task by assistants, jerry Wilson, Jimmy Lenahan, and Fred Brackett. George Knack put to work his brainchild Campi Curiosau. At the beginning of the second semester Shirley Tyler assumed the duties of EditorfinfChief. She ref juvenated the editorial column and included comments and discussions on pertinent questions of the day and hour in the editorials below the masthead. Annabelle jossman related the anecdotes and experiences of cam' pus personalities in the column Spotlighting . In her capacity as Associate Editor, it was her duty to see that the third page was made up properly. To a Man' aging Editor, Bill Walker, went the job of seeing that the headlines stayed within their boundaries and that the SGMOIGC was written and printed correctly. Ref sponsibility for the first page was given to Richard Cox. Staff Cartoonist and Feature Editor was Robert Sandmeyer, who with John Ingham arranged the sec' ond page. Handling the financial end and acting as gofbetween of the staff and school board, Virginia Putnam enthusiastically worked on her position as Commissioner of Publication. Helping to jump the hurdles of the sport page was Fred Brackett, Sports Editor. The news staff included Betty Stow, Dick Foxx, Jack Gabrielson, Wulff Von Prillwitz, Carleen Andrews, Daniel Cohen, Donald Pennington, and Monica Perram. Harry Jung, William Lefebvre, Virf ginia Wells, and Margaret Fetherolf contributed as feature writers. Sports were recorded by Norman Glickman, from the masculine point of view, and Virf ginia Sasabe, from the feminine point of view. The photography angle was managed by cameramen Bill johnke and Bob Goplerud. In addition to straight news stories the SaMofac has featured special columns throughout the semester by staff writers. Poor Richard's Almanac received a prominent place in the hearts of the students. It gives humorist Sandmeyer's comments on the school week. Harry Jung's Here'n There discussed campus and worldwide happenings. Lowdowns Cn Big Shots revealed juicy tidbits of gossip. The latest in radio news was brought out in Along Radio Row . Com' ments on the silver screen were recorded in Cine Meanderingsn. A chance was given to every student to express himself in Vox Clamantisv. Fred Brackf ett forecast the events of the sports world in Yogi's Sports Crystal . The short of Women's Gym Shorts was emphasized in Virginia Sasabe's column. Other feature columns included 'LHash and Humor , Campus Questions , Willyum Tells , 'iWho's News , I've Heard That , Clippings , and Scribf blers Edition . The SaMojac staff is not yet satisfied with its acf complishments and is determined to make this publicaf tion one of the highest in the rank of college news' papers. The journalism classes have been conducting an ex' tensive drive for publicity. In an effort to put the Santa Monica Junior College on the map and wake up the community to the fact that this college needs a new campus, Bill Chernus was appointed as publif city manager. Pictures were snapped of campus beau' ties in typical poses for local and city papers to make the public aware of the student material that this school turns out. Accomplishments of members of the faculty received adequate publicity. Photographs were taken of the candidates for the Pasadena Rose Tournament Parade on New Yearis Day. Material was turned in every week to the Outlook for the school page. Publicity was given to students here who have been outstanding in their field. The SaMofac was sent to high schools whose graduates are now at' tending here. The publicity department will conf tinue actively in the future.

X 'IRGINIA PUTNAM .,.,..,..BlLL JOHNKE, BOB GOPLI-:Run SANDMEYER llramatilzs Standing out as a successful dramatic year, the 19364937 season produced a variety of school producf tions. Sheldon M. Hayden as drama coach spent an entertaining and productive year teaching the potenf tial and experienced actors and actresses of the campus the tricks of the trade. Valuable assistance was renf dered by the executive boards of the Athenaeum Club. Hal Halter, president of the club during the fall semester, was always on hand with novel suggesf tions and continual cooperation. Equally capable was C. D. O'Donnell who headed the dramatic club dur' ing the past semester. These two prexies were ever ready, willing, and able, whether the job was to carry props or substitute for a missing player. The casts for the collegels three major plays were selected from members of the Athenaeum Club or students from the general student body who specified an interest in acting. Tryfouts were given and the persons judged most satisfactory for the roles by Mr. Hayden and student judges were offered an opporf tunity to rise and shine. The first production of the year was Wall Spence's melodrama, The Full Moon, the first mystery thriller to be presented at the college. Dealing with the horrif fying effects of the moon's rays upon the characters in the play, chills and thrills were abundantly sup' plied by the Hayden players. Santa Monica junior Colleges new discovery, Charles Erickson, gave an excellent portrayal of the moonfcrazed killer, Paul Graves, who tasted the thirst for blood on moonlit nights. The role of Muriel Graves, aunt to Paul, was performed by that veteran of the stage, Betty Rich. Lorraine Lee, psychically inclined, was dramatized by joan Scrivens. The hero element was supplied by Don Murchison in the role of Gerald Farrow. Also morf bidly affected by the moonrays, Sylvia Graves was acted by Clarice Hawkins. Giving a realistic por' trayal of the corpse, C. D. C'Donnell threatened to steal the show, as Dr. Marshall. Dr. Neville was played by Eugene Ringo. Waldemar Johansen, art instructor, supervised the stagefcraft. The settings of an old English type house were produced. Also breaking precedents, the second production, Wild Hobby Horses, was the longest onefact play yet produced at the college. Lasting fifty minutes, this example of hysterical comedy presented in the farce style, starred many able dramatic performers. Charles Erickson as William Carewe presented a performance that would be the envy of many a professional player. He was capably supported by Betty Rich in the role of Nurse Torrance, Don Murchison as the older son of Carewe, Verne Peckham as the love smitten Don' ald Carewe, Betty Cray Bowling as the fussy Mrs. William Carewe, Clarice Hawkins as the efficient maid Emma, and Joan Scrivens as secretarial Anne Martin. This production by John Kirkpatrick, was one of the highlights of the drama season. Filling the aisles with laughterfconvulsed students, the threefact comedy, That Ferguson Family by How' ard Chenery, was acclaimed as one of the best by the THAT FERGUSON FAMILY Left to fright: Bowling, Klein, Wells, Erickson, Rich, Murchison, Hughes, Prescott, Peterson, Biggs.

Dealing with the problems and adventures of a typical American family, this play was headed by a brilliant cast. The local thespians were under the supervision of Mr. Hayden and 0. D, O'Donnell, student director. Turnf ing out a splendid performance in a difficult role, Pauline Hughes portrayed Mertie Ferguson, who conf cealed a heart of gold in a hard exterior. Fred Ferf guson, her husband, was excellently handled by Charles Erickson. The daughter who got into a difficult situaf tion as a result of her love of clothes, was undertaken by Betty Rich, as Tavie Ferguson. Other veterans of the year were Charles Prescott as the amorous Joe Ferguson, Don Murchison as the likable salesman, Rupert Striker, Virginia Wells as the eloper of the family, Laura Connelly, Curtis Biggs, as Bill Fleming, Al Klein as Bert Connelly, Betty Gray Bowling as the town gossip in the person of Sarah Thorne, and Sally Peterson as the beautiful ingenue, Mary Fleming. These three performances headed the list on the dramatic paradeg and with many of the veteran perf formers intending to work in this field during the com' ing year, bigger and better productions seem inevitf able. Falling under the supervision of the dramatics def partment was the Talent File Parade, which featured local talented artists of the campus. Stealing the show was that master of all masters of ceremonies, Jack Lester. Barney Moore, springiest maestro on the coast, turned out his clever interpretation of Rachmaninoffs Prelude in C Minor. Reuben Adelman, Rubinoff of the campus, rendered his versions of Chardee 65 on his violin He is said to be the biggest musical find of the jaysee year. Those three inseparables, commonly known now as the Batty Betasf' but then as the Three Awful Alphasu yodeled that ballad, L'The Martins and McCoys. Phil jones, Bob Sand' meyer, and Charles Prescott were the members of this trio. Impersonating wellfknown radio personalities were those humorists, Bob O'Neill and Lee Severy. They were responsible for the split sides found among the audience. Tapping herself into the hearts of her felf low students was Carleen Andrews, who swung out to the uOrgan Grinder's Swing. jess St. John and Claud Stonier harmonized to the tune of Little Red Wing on the harmonica and guitar. A surprise quartette, composed of Wallie Lyon, Joel Cohen, Phil Shool, and Garwin Harris, gave the high and the low of several melodies. Opening and closing the program was the fivefpiece German band which gave all it had and offered plenty of competition to even the real thing. Another production which revealed the Thespian qualities of certain members of the student body was the all-Lettermen's burlesque, which would rival even Minsky's. The first act in many was the presentaf tion of George Kaufman's comedy of errors, If Men Play Bridge As Women Do. Included in the cast was Verne Peckham, Don Murchison, Dana Bennett, and Stan Altman. The second presentation of the day was the antics of the 'iTerrible Three -fDave Crowe, Bob Tapia and Mel Banowetz.

B, Brockett the jaysee orchestra has risen to new heights this year. On the 17th of September the orchestra started pracf tice with 18 members. By the end of the year there were 38 people reporting for every meeting. First appearance of the year was on the 29th of November when they played L'March Classic by Von Weber: 'kliphegenia in Aulis by von Gluck, for a one act play given in the aud. Yuletide brought a program of Christmas music arf ranged by Mr. Brockett consisting of the Ruy Blas overture and k'Triumphal March by Grieg. The orf chestra accompanied the combined chorus groups sing' ing the Hallelujah Chorus-from the Messiah at this time. That Ferguson Family semifannual Athenaeum club production was enhanced by an overture and music in the entre acts from this group. The selecf tions played were Dream Music from Hansel and Gretel by Humperdinck and also 'LThe Sleeping Beauty Waltz by Tschaikowsky. The orchestra was at its best when they played for the First Annual Music Festival on the 14th of May. At this time they offered four numbers, Overture Ruy Blasn by Mendelssohn, Symphony in D Major, First Movement by Hayden: Procession of the Sardar by Ivanov, completing their program with the delightf ful Waltz of the Flowers by Tschaikowsky. The Fair Scene from the opera Martha by Flotow was also accompanied by them. Their final appearance for the season was at the an' nual college commencement when Deltas graduated to the strains of the Triumphal March from Aida by Verdi. The Instrumental Ensemble of the orchestra was headed by Reuben Adelman, violinist and concert maestro of the orchestra, he is also a member of the Junior Philharmonic of Los Angeles. Other members of the ensemble are Pasquale Acampora who plays the violin: Betty Beecher, flute player: the clarinet was played by Melvin Margolin: cello by Charles Pyle. The piano accompaniment was by Lianna Carrillon. Notable among orchestral members are Betty Strock who became so enamored of a Russian celloist, that is his instrument, that she took up the cello in February: she plays it in the orchestra having had no other train' ing. Gene Hirsch is another student who knew nothf ing of the instrument he plays in the orchestra until this term. He now taps on the Tympani. Margaret Moller did double duty for the Music department sing' ing as a principal in the opera and the rest of the time playing a violin in the orchestra. Taken all together Mr. Brockett and the members of the orchestra are to be congratulated on the splenf did work they did for the pleasure and enjoyment of the school this year. 66 Band The band, without even a piccolo player at the beginning of the school year, has worked itself up to a membership of twentyfeight by the time of the second semester. This has been made possible by the efforts of Evan B. Brockctt, band instructor and head of the music department, who refused to give up. However, in spite of the limited membership last semester, the band engaged in several activities. Week' ly practice was held every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:00 to 10:00. The first public appearance of the band was at the football game between Santa Monica and Glendale Junior College. Because of an active campaign by members of band for musical talent on the campus, the ranks of the group were swelled and they were enabled to take part in more activities. The May Day Carnival wit' nessed the band's first official debut this semester. Upon this occasion, Mr. Brockett led the band in the interpreting of several wellfknown marches. The most important undertaking of the group was the presentation of the First Annual Band Conf cert in the auditorium on May 6. The entire memf bership was on hand outfitted in the gray and orange uniforms. The program included the selections: De Luca's Our Glorious Emblem, Gibb's Carnival Overture, Goldman's The Pioneer, Collins's In a Garden, De Koven's O Promise Me, Frimel's Selection From the Firefly, Speak's Sylvia, and Goldman's Cn the Mail. All the instruments used are schoolfowned and are given out to the students for the entire semester. Mr. Brockett is planning on a concert to be presented to the student body every semester. The executive board of the band is manned by the following officers: Robert Pershing, president, Wilber Griffith, vicefpresidentg Dan Morden, secre- taryftreasurer, Foster Davis, librarian, and Bryant Washburn, drum major. The membership of the band includes Betty Beecher, Robert Stone, Phil Jones, Norman Duff, Mary Bloomingdale, Fred Williams, Alfred Wright, Albert Klein, Melvin Margolin, Alf fred Krechtler, Edward Soest, Frank Johnston, Charles Prescott, Jean Southwick, Helmuth Cohlbohn, Bob Ware, Bonnie Doll, Marcus Eliason, Bill Le' febvre, Lyle Schultz, James White, John Dixon, Fred Edmonds, Carlisle Manaugh, and Gene Hirsch. Nothing is more stimulating than a well drilled, gayly outfitted band, led by a strutting drum major, marching on the field between halves of a football game. Next fall this is to be a reality at Santa Monf ica Jaysee through the untiring efforts of that enerf getic instructor, E. B. Brockett. He anticipates hav' ing a much larger turnfout for the band next fall and plans to hold tryouts for a firstfclass drum major. At the present time he is selecting many new marches which will be heard amidst the cheering for the Corsairs next September. Top row: Passwater, Gorsum, Jefferson, Johnson, Dixon.

Brockett and with the newest addition to the campus layout in the form of a music bungalow, in which to hold meet' ings as well as to get in tune with the birds, the music club was set up for a record year, which it actually proved to be. Adding greatly to the club's musical knowledge was the addition of a browsing room in which is kept a complete catalogue of musical record' ings. The inclusion of ive practice rooms in the plan of the Music Bungalow was an additional factor in its usefulness for students who have not the time to practice at home, here on the campus in their free periods they may use these rooms, each of which is equipped with a piano. They are soundfproofed so that the static in one may not disturb' occupants of an adjoining room. Proving that a man can come back Perlee Severy was elected President for the spring term succeeding Carleen Andrews. This is Perleesthirdfsemester as head of the club, although he went into retirement for one year. Members under the leadership of Severy and Edith Bean, vicefpresident, embarked on a scavenger huntl' on the 19th of March, musical members collect' ed anything from earthworms to airplane propellors and autographed eggs. The chorus and the orchestra combined this year in the annual Christmas program. Cn this occasion they sang six numbers: Lo, God Is Here , by Muelf lerg The Sleigh , by KountzfMuellerg Hallelujah Chorus , from the Messiah by Handel. UC Holy Night was sung by the Men's Chorus, the solo part being taken by Perlee L. Severy. The Women's Chorus sang an arrangement of 'LList the Cherubic Host with a solo by Robert O'Neil and obligato by Margot Moller. The program was completed with two negro spirituals by Burleigh. Contributing to the cultural atmosphere of the school Maestro E. B. Brockett conducted the -Iaysee's first Major opera. The 'LFair Scene from 'lMartha , by Freidrich Von Flotow was selected for our first openfair musical production. A raised platform was erected for the stage on the quad and had been beau' tlfully decorated with cedar and flowers. The action took place in the reign of Queen Anne, in the early part of the 18th century. The scene was an old mar' ket town of Richmond, in Yorkshire. The lead was Lady Harriet played by the petite, blond Mary Browne. She was a maid of honor to Queen Anne. Wearied of her conventional pleasure at court she and her maid, Nancy played by the vivacious Pat Gergen, and her doting cousin, Sir Tristram Mickleford, which part was taken by Garwin Harris, disguised as menials, went to mingle with the crowd at the annual fair in Rich' mond town. Servantfmaids also came to the fair to be engaged as help.

Cossmann, who is director of athletics, was an all' round athlete at the University of Oregon in the pref war era. Now Cossmann directs intrafmural athletics and the golf squad. He also assists in coaching the football squad as line mentor. Crumpacker is the 'head basketball coach and was an allfstar cager and gridder at McPherson College in Kansas. Besides handling the cagers, Crumpacker bosses the tennis players and swimmers. His basket' ball squad finished second in a close race with Long Beach.

The Hornfcoached crossfcountry team won the southland harrier title late in the win' ter semester, concluding the season without a loss. Youel is the youngest of the staff, being just three years out of the University of Southern California where he was a crackerjack center in football and a first baseman in baseball.

Sung and Yell Leaders Rhythmic arms flying through space, vibrating shrieks combined with leaps about the athletic fields or the platform, make the yell leaders' presence heard and felt. They are always an incentive for an infecf tious spirit to sweep throughout the peppy crowd, viewing pridefully Santa Monica's athletic victories, or the sedate, restrained assembly audience. With clenched fist or one pleading Come on gang, one big one fori- the audience is put entirely in their hands. This is molding the farffamed S.M.J.C. school spirit. The princes of pep during the active football sea' son were HeadfYellfLeader Woody Ginn and his two able assistants, Fritz Kennedy and Phil Jones. To add a note of beauty to this linefup, Carleen Andrews and Dottie Mitchell displayed the orange and gray effectively as very swingy songfleaders. These five L'Dynamos pleaded before the Commission, as well as before the student body, to obtain new megaphones and new sweaters, gaily bedecked by chenille letters. This task done, they went to work in earnest for a noisy, wellftimed background for our athletic victories. Although refelected for a command performance as yell leader, Woody resigned the position because of editorship of the SpinfD'fift. Fritz Kennedy was ap' pointed to the coveted position and carried on nobly with the assistance of Phil jones. Carleen filled the gap left by the graduation of Dottie Mitchell. Her Orangef andfGray appearance at the close of assemblies as Hymn of Praise leader is always anticipated by the student body. In addition to keeping the school spirit at a high pitch, we owe these cheery leaders a debt of gratitude for their able handling of all the campus Madison Square boxing introductions fwith a few wellftimed slips by cool, collected Fritzj and to these golden tongued leaders the Student Body shrieks back at them Long may they yell! The duties of the yell leaders do not stop with the mere direction of school yells, but also include presenf tation of all athletic announcements with enthusiastic and extemporaneous yells on all occasions. This ref quires the ability to think on one's feet and agility in leaping to high platforms from a standing position. The yell leaders must also know the correct time to lead the appropriate yells and at all times keep the audience in a noisy, robust humor. 'iWoody , Fritz, and Phil erected a new high in the spirit of S.M.j.C. by forming a successful teamfone which will remain in the minds of all as the true Yell Kings . The duties of the song leaders are a continual round of waving the orange and gray pomfpoms for all athletic contests and assemblies. Carleen Andrews and Dottie Mitchell were everfpresent at the foot' ball games and rallies last fall, inciting much enthusif asm in our school songs. They deserve all of our co' operation and praise for their efforts to sail Corsairs to greater heights. PHIL JONES DOTTY MITCHELL WooDY'l GINN CARLEEN ANDREWS Fazrz KENNEDY , 74 A surprising win over Citrus jayse closed the season for the Corsairs. An early touchdown in the first period by Lenahan started the Orange and Gray on its way to the 12 to 0 triumph. Night football also made its bow in Santa Mon' ica, with the Corsairs playing in the only two battles. The first was a conference tilt with the Long Beach and the second with the strong University of Southern California peagreeners. Attendance increased and arc' light ball started definitely at Santa Monica. Five lettermen were among the candidates at the start of the season, one having to quit before the sea' son opened, because of a dangerous head injury- Bill Chernus, blocking back. The others were Lena- han, Bob Simpson, Clinton Brostedt, and Lloyd Garrif son. Simpson played both end and halfback, while Garrison saw action at left half. Curt Youel, the new coach of the Corsairs, did a good job in turning out the 1936 edition. Youel, a former star center at the University of Southern Calif fornia, had the lightest team in the conference, aver- aging 160 pounds. This disadvantage spotted the opposing elevens at least 10 pounds per man. Assisting Youel were jim Cossmann, athletic direcf tor, Larry Horn and Sanger Crumpacker. Letter winners for the 1936 season were Jim Lenahan, Eddie Held, Bob Tapia, Don Nicholson, Jerry Walker, Bert Walker, M. O. Banowetz, Earl Elsey, Reed Trusel, Clinton Brostedt, Bob Ramsey, Lloyd Garrison, Virgil Peterson, Bob Simpson, Jack Vick, Bill Zomar, Murphy Moore, Ralph Johnston, and Bob Stratford, with Willard Leeds, manager. Passing was the main offensive weapon of the Santa Monicans. With Lenahan doing the pitching, the Orange and Gray gained considerable yardage. More than one-third of the aerial shots were comf pleted-53 out of 158, which is an excellent average.

FRESHMEN 6 Surprising the football public, the Corsairs held - the strong U.C.L.A. peagreeners to six points as they dropped their first start of the 1936 season on the Westwood greensward. It took a twisting, squirming gallop by Kenny Washington, Negro antelope, to sink the Santa Mon' ica hopes. Midway in the second period, Washington took the ball on his own 36fyard line and after evading four or five wouldfbe tacklers, went through center for 64 yards to the promised land. Outside of this run, the Santa Monicans fought the Brubabes to a standstill, spilling them for numerf able losses as they played brilliant defensive ball. Eddie Held and Clinton Brostedt, the ends for the Orange and Gray, were the keymen of the Corsair defense, spending most of their time stopping Bruin plays. Lenahan also looked good in the backfield. SANTA MONICA 0fBLACK'FOXE 27 One of the southland's finest prep football machines, the Cadets of Black-Foxe Military Institute, dropped Santa Monica, 27 to O, in its second contest-a night game played at McLaglen Stadium.

SANTA MONICA O-GLENDALE 7 A lateral pass play spelled defeat for Santa Monica when it dropped its Western conference debut to the Glendale Vaqueros, 7 to O, on the Santa Monica High field. Glen Carmichel registered the touchdown for the Corsair four, going over un' molested after taking a lateral from Roy Cooper, when it appeared as though he was about downed by a stubborn Santa Monica defense. This ended a 58fyard sustained drive and came on the fourth down after the Corsairs had turned back three attempts within the shadows of the goal line. Cooper placefkicked the extra point. Santa Monica's nearest approach to the Glendale goal was in the first period when Held hauled in one of Lenahan's passes and travelled 43 yards before being forced out on the victors' 19. The threat faded, however, when Lenahan was held for no gain on the 10. In the second period, another LenahanftofHeld toss netted 32 yards, but again the attack bogged down. SANTA MONICA 13-Los ANGELES 0 Sweet are the fruits of victory, and particularly sweet was the 13 to O triumph over the Los Angeles Cubs in a night battle at McLaglen Stadium for the initial win of the Santa Monicans. Nicholson was amazing as he slashed through the center of the Los Angeles team in sparking his men on its 67fyard touchdown march, which he climaxed in the second period, by plowing through guard for 10 yards and the score-the first of the season for Santa Monica. Zomar, holding down the quarter spot, alternated with Nicholson in the drive to payfdirt. The conversion attempt, a pass from Zomar to Elsey failed. Alertness on the part of Eddie Held started Santa Monica toward its second touchdown. Held recovered a fumble on the Cub 39 and in 10 plays Santa Monica had scored for the second time, despite a 15 'yard penalty. Aerials played the major role in advancing the ball to the L. A. four, from where Lenahan went over in two plays. Trusel and Garrison snagged passes from Lenahan for gains of 20 and 19 yards respectively, to put the ball on the four. Lenahan made good his placefkick attempt. SANTA MONICA 19-VENTURA 34 Cif to an early lead, the Ventura Pirates, defending conference champs, tripped the Corsairs, 34 to 19, in a wild and woolly contest played under the arcs in Ventura, Andy Waters plunged over center each time for the two early scores. Bob Ramf sey paved the way for the initial Corsair score in the second period when he recovf ered a Ventura fumble on the Pirate 22. Lenahan passed seven yards to Murphy Moore for the touchdown after he and Nicholson had worked it down to the seven. Lenahan and Elsey teamed up to pave the way for the second Santa Monica score. Lenahan returned a Ventura punt 27 yards to the Pirate 33.

Lenahan scored over guard on the next play. Final Corsair touchdown came in the last period as the result of a desperate passing attack that gained 73 yards. Zomar plunged over center to end the 14-fplay drive that saw only three running plays. SANTA MONICA 6-LONG BEACH 14 Too much George Wagner cost the Corsairs their clash with the Long Beach Vikings, I4 to 6, in their final conference appearance when night football bowed in before Santa Monicans at the Municipal Stadium. Wagner ran up a total of 108 yards, gaining through the line and around end. A bad pass out of the end zone by Tapia gave the Vikes their first score-a safety early in the second period. Tapia's pass intended for Lenahan, who was in punt formation, went wild. The Vikes added to this when Carl Pohlad scored on 17fyard pass from Don Walker in the fading minutes of the first half. Santa Monica rang up its lone score in the third period when Banowetz jumped into the air in the end zone to grab Lenahan's toss. This culminated an 8Ofyard drive. Simpson gained 40 yards on a pass from Lenahan on the last play of the game that nearly resulted in a touchdown. SANTA MONICA 0-U.S.C. FRESHMEN 60 Averaging a point a minute, the U.S.C. freshman football machine mowed down a fighting, but thoroughly outfclassed and outfweighed Corsair eleven, 60 to O, in a night fracas at the Municipal Stadium. Only semblance of a Corsair scoring threat came on the final play of the game when Elsey intercepted a Trobabe pass on his own 45' and returned it to the victors' 25 before being brought down. The tiny Elsey was a shining light for Santa Monica. SANTA MONICA 12-CITRUS 6 Determined to close their season with a victory, the Corsairs trekked to Azusa and in a night encounter, handed the Citrus Jaysee Owls a 12 to 6 setback. Capt, Lenahan, playing his final game, registered the first score in the opening period when he plunged over center from the one yard stripe, to end a 29fyard drive. Citrus knotted the count in the second quarter on a 27fyard pass from Jack Mangeric to Bill Timmons after Ray Brown recovered Lenahan's fumble. Final touchdown came in the third quarter on a 4Ofyard drive that was culminated by Nicholson's threefyard plunge through center. Bob Ramsey caught a bobbled ball and scampered 38 yards to a touchdown in the fading seconds of the third period. The officials ruined Ramsey's touchdown, however, by declaring the ball had bounced on the ground before he hawked it. On the last play of the game Santa Monica had another score ruled void. Lenahan lateralled to Simpson for IO yards and a score. The score was ruled out because the game had ended before the play started, and the timer's gun failed to work.

Los ANGELES 30 Before the basketball season opened, Sanger Crum' packer, headman of the Corsair cagers, although he did not make any title predictions, expressed the belief that the Orange and Gray would be in the thick of the ight for the Westeriu conference championship. Crumpacker's belief was correct, for the Corsairs came within an eyelash of the throne, finishing in second place behind Long Beach. Santa Monica completed the first half with an unmarred record, but dropped two tussles in the second round to finish Onefhalf game short of Long Beach. This advance was a big one, for in 1936 the Corsairs finished in fourth place with only two victories. When the allfconference quintet was selected, two Santa Monicansa-Wilburn Munkers and Ed McGrath -were placed on the first team. This duo alone was 80 WILBURN MUN KERS Captain Corsairs. Munkers, captain and center, set a new conference scoring record of 106 points. This is an average of more than 13 points per game. McGrath, a freshman, turned in a brilliant allfround game at forward and finished third in the conference scoring column. Lettermen from the 1937 team number seven, namely Munkers, McGrath, James, Jimmy Lenahan, Eddie Held, Ed Soest, and Carlton Sieck. SANTA MONICA 39-LONG BEACH 28 Paying no heed to the prognostications of the ex' perts, the Corsairs trimmed the highlyftouted Long Beach Jaysee Vikings, 39 to 28, in their Westei'1i conf ference debut at the La Monica auditorium. A large margin in the opening stages of the conf test proved decisive for Santa Monica. After Johnny Reimer tallied a goal for the invaders, the Corsairs found the range of the bucket, being ahead, 13 to 2, after 10 minutes Of play had elapsed. Jimmy Lenahan opened the scoring for Santa Monica with a setfup shot. The Corsairs were out in front, 16 to 12, at halfftime. Then Capt. Wilburn Munkers came to life for the Corsairs, sinking 10 points. This gave Munkers 11 for the evening and a tie for scoring laurels with Eddie Held, Santa Monica guard, and Dennis Sterling, Viking forward.

SANTA MONICA 30fLONG BEACH 42 First defeat Of the conference campaign suffered by the Corsairs was in the return game, at the Long Beach armory, with the arrogant Long Beach quintet when the Vikings triumphed, 42 to 30, in a rough and tumble contest to move into a tie for Hrst place.

Determined to remain in the running for the pen' nant, the Corsair team ended their season by nabbing a stirring 33 to 30 win over the Los Angeles Cubs in an overtime encounter at Hollywood High School.

The Corsairs massaf cred Long Beach and Ventura, and then bowed to Glendale and Los Angeles in close meets. SANTA MONICA 94-LONG BEACH 37 By sweeping three events and winning 11 first places, the Corsairs opened their conference dual meet season with an easy 94 to 37 victory over the Long Beach Vikings on the loser's cinderpath.

Decisive event of the meet was the relay in which the Angelenos won by the width of a gnat's eyelash as Ralph Woods unleased a terrific finish. Los An' geles rooters nearly had heart failure when McConf nell barely caught a bobbed pass from Hales a foot from the ground. A dropped baton would have meant victory for Santa Monica.

Biggest upset of the meet was the win of Hayward Wheeler over jack McBain, of the Bruins, in the highs in :1i.3. Harry Venning closed fast to tie for second with McBain. Failure to score in three of the field events cost the Orange and Gray its meet with the Cal Tech En' gineers, 69 to 62, at Tournament Park in Pasadena.

In conference competition, the Gorsairs triumphed only twice, to finish in fourth place behind Los An' geles, Long Beach, and Glendale. These victories were scored in the first round of twofround schedule inagurated in the Western conference this season. Gaptaining the Corsairs throughout the season was jimmy Lenahan, sophomore and third sacker. Gther twofyear regulars were Ed Soest, who performed as catcher, Eddie Wheeler, second baseman, John P. Smith, outfielder, Earl Elsey, outfielder, and Jack Townsend, pitcher. Remaining regulars were Keith Emberson, first base, Clark Beck, first base and short' stop, Chuck White, shortstop, and Bill Gardillo, right field. Santa Mon1ca's horsehiders proved more adept in 86 CAPTAIN JIMMY LENAHAN the offensive stage of the American national pastime than on the defensive. Grange and Gray batsmen would pound out telling blows and then erase their efforts by miscues afield. SANTA MONICA 10-VENTURA 8 After having their conference opener postponed bef cause of rain, the Corsairs journeyed to Ventura to emerge on the long end of a threefhour funfest that saw 19 errors committed before the Santa Monicians won, 10 to 8. Ventura was off to an early lead, scoring twice in the first inning. The Corsairs matched this with two in the third, but dropped behind again when the Pirf ates rang up two more in the fifth. The tide turned in the sixth inning, however, when six tallies were chalked up by the Santa Monicans. Bill Gardillo was outstanding in this canto as he drove into a trio of runs with a wellftimed double. In spite of 12 errors by his team mates, Jack Town' send turned in a sevenfhit pitching performance for the Crange and Gray. Townsend and Cardillo top' ped the Santa Monica batsmen with two blows each, while Earl Elsey and Capt. Jimmy Lenahan stole two bases each. SANTA MONICA 3-LONG BEACH 11 Contrary to an almost traditional rule of basef ball, the Corsair and Long Beach baseball squads tangled in the rain in the Long Beach Recreation Park for seven innings before proceedings were called be' cause of a much heavier downpour. Although each club blasted out five safeties, the blows of the Nordics were timely and resulted in an 11 to 3 victory. After Keith Emberson was knocked from the rubber, Jack Townsend relieved him and the two gave up only five blows. ANTA M - DALE 3 m T Cnly errors at the crucial moments decided the close mound duel between Santa Monica's Jack Townsend and Glendale's Monty Dubarry in favor of the former, 7 to 3, when the two clubs clashed in a conference battle on the losersl diamond. Three of the hits off Townsend went to Max Lueke, stellar Vaquero shortstop, who was also brilliant def fensively. The Corsairs opened with a threefrun splurge in the first inning off one hit and were never behind during the entire contest. This victory put the Santa Monicans in a tie for second place with Long Beach. Each club had won twice and lost once. SANTA MONICA 3-Los ANGELES 6 Guilty of nine errors, the Corsairs saw an early lead change into defeat when they encountered the leaguefleading Los Angeles club and lost, 6 to 3, in their final game of the first round on the municipal stadium diamond. Santa Monica was two runs out in front before the Cubs reached pay dirt in the third inning. The Corsairs tallied one run in both the first and second stanzas. Los Angeles tied it up in the third and went ahead in the first of the fourth.

Jack Townsend matched this in the number of hits rendered, but lacked the effective' ness of Brewer as he gave up two bases on balls and fanned five. SANTA MONICA IEVENTURA 13 Pounding the offerings of Jack Townsend and Coe burn Rouse for 13 safeties, the weak crew of Pirates from Ventura came out of the north to stage a 13 to 1 upset win over the Corsairs in a conference contest at the municipal stadium. While the Pirates were pounding Townsend and Rouse hard, the Orange and Cray garnered six blows and were limited to a single run-this coming in the fifth stanza. During his six and onefthird inning stay on the hill, Townsend fanned six men. Earl Elsey collected the one extrafbase hit for the Santa Monif cans, smacking out a triple, EDDIE WHEELER EARL ELSEY Second base Outjield JACK TOWNSEND Pitcher ED SOEST Catcher 87 FY JOHN P, SMITH KEITH EMBERSON BILL CARDXLLO CLARK BECK Outfield First base Outfteld , Shortstop COBURN ROUSE KEITH EMBERSON STRIKING AT THE BALL IN A GAME WITH FRANK BURGESS Pitcher Los ANGELES Outfield SANTA MONICA 5-GLENDALE 10 Santa MOnica's home finale proved a dismal failure, as the Vaqueros of Glendale Jaysee registered a 10 to 5 conference victory over the Grange and Gray nine on the municipal stadium greensward. Each club blasted out a dozen bingles, but the Va' queros collected theirs at the more opportune mo' ments and as a result went home with the scalps of the Santa Monicans. The pitching was fairly close with Townsend fanning four and walking three, and Du' barry whiffing six and walking four. SANTA MONICA 4-Los ANGELES 13 Off to a bad start, the Corsairs were never able to make up a sevenfrun deficit of the Opening stanza in their imbroglio with Los Angeles Crimson clouters in which they bowed, 13 to 4, on the winner's field in their conference fadeout. Santa Monica had scored a run in their half of the first, but the Angelenos erased this and added six more on three hits, two walks and two misplays by the Corsairs. To Eddie Wheeler, regular second sacker, went the honors of knocking the only Corsair home run in conference play. With Earl Elsey parked on second base, Wheeler slapped the first ball pitched deep into center field for an easy circuit. Keith Emberson went the route for Santa Monica, allowing 11 hits. He was given poor support in the opening inning when the seven runs put him in a hole from which he could not get out. Ed Soest and John P. Smith led the Orange and Gray at bat with two hits each. Emberson and Soest pilfered one bag each. i PRACTICE GAMES Highlight of the Santa Monica season came in the practice fray with the Caltech Engineers in which the Corsairs proceeded to swat the pill all over the Caltech diamond for an easy 11 to 5 win. Fifteen blows were collected by the Corsairs-six which were of the extrafbase variety. Eddie Vxfheeler knocked out a homer and a double, Ed Soest a homer, Jack Townsend two doubles and Capt. Jimmy Lena' han a twofbagger. Townsend set the Caltech players down with seven hits and five runs. Woodbury and Chapman were other teams that fell victims to the Santa Monicans. Teams to best the Orange and Gray were the U.C.L.A. varsity, the U.S.C. yearlings, Whittier college, and Chapman. Against the Bruins, the Corsairs were brilliant at times, giving the Westwood club a tough fight in each of the four games. Those winning letters on the baseball squad are Capt. jimmy Lenahan, Eddie Wheeler, Ed Soest, jack Townsend, Earl Elsey, john P. Smith, Keith Ember- son, Clark Beck, Chuck White, Bill Cardillo, Coburn Rouse, Frank Burgess, Frank Eanis, and Gilbert Dum' ilieu. 88 CONEERENCE MEETS TOURNAMENT SCORES SM- OPEOUCIUS Holmes 73 73 77 78-301 2 ......,., ...........

The ftst five men to finish constitute a team and their places are added together for the total score. Cross-oounir Carting home the pelts of all opponents, the cross' country aggregation of Corsairs ended its season by capturing the Southern California Junior College team championship in the annual meet staged on the U.C.L.A. course. Fortyfiive points were scored by the Corsairs. Paul Van Alstine, cofcaptain of the team, triumphed in four out of five starts, losing only in the southland fin' als to Harry Mortenson of L.A.j.C. It was the race between Van Alstine and Morten' son that featured the meet. Mortenson took an early lead, but Van Alstine stayed within striking distance. After trailing for two miles over hill and dale, Van Alstine moved to the fore, He stayed here until the last ZOO yards when Mortenson put on a strong spurt to win by two feet. The Los Angeles runner's time was 15 minutes, 18 seconds-a very fast race, with Paul one second back. Don Morden, the other cofcaptain, was the next Corsair to cross the finish line, coming in seventh. Irwin Davis, Les Hilliard and Verne Peckham round' ed out the Orange and Gray scoring by coming in eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, respectively. Three other Corsairs-Bruce Chyer, Frank Winter and Bill McElroyfalso competed and placed, but not in the money. Runnerfup to the Corsairs in the southland meet was the L.A.j.C. team with 53 points. Third place went to Long Beach, with Fullerton in the fourth po' sition and Glendale in the rear. Coach Larry Horn's harriers also subdued all dualf meet competition in stride. The mythical Western conference title went to the Hornmen as Los Angeles, Long Beach and Glendale were defeated by them. The strong U.C.L.A. peagreeners also lost their scalps to the crack contingent of Corsairs. Van Alstine was the ace runner of the team. In his Hrst season as a harrier, Van Alstine showed much promise. Mortenson, an old foe of Paul during the track season, had to run his outstanding race to regf ister his victory for the individual title. Paul, how' ever, bested Mortenson on the cinderpath. In Morden, the Corsairs had a plugger who was an old faithful . The only returning letterman, Don proved his worth when he finished strong in the southf land meet for the seventh spot. Don also is a distance runner in track, being the number one man for the Corsairs in the twofmile. The other three regularsfDavis, Hilliard, and Peckham-were iirstfyear men and will be eligible to run next year. Davis twice finished behind Van Alf stine in dual meet competition. Hilliard was consisf tent, while Peckham improved greatly as the season progressed. Southern California Champions Q I Mentor Horn complimented the team: The strength that goes with five evenly matched runners, means the success of the crossfcountry team. When a team succeeds in this accomplishment there are few, usually none, who can overtake them. A11 of the first nve men are natural runners who have good possibilif ties of faring well in tougher competition. Another reason for the team's success was the earnest training by each of its members. SANTA MONICA 8-GLENDALE 13 After a month of intensive training, the Gorsairs made their debut by upsetting the Glendale Vaqueros, 8 to 13, in a race that started and ended on the track at Santa Monica High school. Van Alstine, making his first start as a harrier, gal' loped home 300 yards ahead of his closest foe-Still of Glendale. Morden nabbed third place, while Peckf ham was fourth, and Shyer fifth. SANTA MONICA 16aU.C.L.A. FRESHMAN 39 Winning the first four places, the Corsairs trounced the U.G.L.A. freshmen harriers, 16 to 39, on the UC. L.A. course for their second victory. Van Alstine broke the tape, followed by Davis, Hilf liard, and Morden. SANTA MONICA ZOALONG BEACH 38 Keeping in trend with the times, the Corsairs be' came night runners when they turned in a decisive 20 to 38 win over the feared Long Beach Vikings at the municipal stadium. Pulling away from the Held with every stride, Van Alstine Iinished strong to upset Johnny Seja, Viking Latin star. Seja set the pace most of the way, but Van Alstine remained within striking distance and ran away from him in the stretch. Davis was third, with Hilliard and Morden finishing fourth and fifth respecf tively. SANTA MONICA 16-Los ANGELES 39 Mythical Western conference team laurels went to the Grange and Gray squad when it trimmed its old rival, Los Angeles, 16 to 39, on the U.G.L.A. course in its final dual meet appearance. Continuing his winning ways, Van Alstine turned in his fourth consecutive victory. Following Van Alf stine to the tape were Davis, Morden, and Hilliard of Santa Monica, and De La Vega of Los Angeles. Looking at the season in a statistical sense, Van Alf stine paid the team with six points-four firsts and a second. Morden and Davis were tied for second with 25. During the dual meets, Morden scored 18, while Davis tallied 14. In the southland meet, however, Mora den finished seventh-four places ahead of Davis. Hilf liard had a total of 30, with 18 for dual competition and 12 for the big meet. Peckham was fifth, with 23 and 13 for a total of 36. DAVIS SHYER, VAN ALSTINE, MORDEN, DAvIs HILLIARD PECKHAM SHYER 91 WINTERS MCELROY Tennis Tennis stock of the Santa Monica Jaysee racquet forces remained in the doldrums for the 1937 West' ern Conference campaign as the classy Cubs of Los Angeles Jaysee sailed through to first place laurels. Although triumphant in only one conference en' counter, the Corsairs engaged in several heated battles on the courts. The lone victim of the Santa Monicans was the woefully weak Ventura squad, Coach Sanger Crumpacker started the season with only one letterman, Captain Gordon Williams, and around him and Harlow Black, first singles, he attempted to mould a team that could compete on fairly even terms with any crew in the circuit. For conference play, the Orange and Gray out' fit consisted of Harlow Black as first singles, Capf tain Gordon Williams as second singles, Dick Foxx as third singles, Jerome Alpern as fourth singles, James Prices and Irving Berkenblitt as the first doubles tan' dem, and Roy Adkins and Cyril Maquire as the sec' ond doubles combination. Santa Monica opened' its conference season with a bang, as it completely annihilated the Ventura Jay' see Pirates, 18 to 5, on the loser's courts. Only Cor' sair setback was suffered in the first doubles where the victors were forced to three sets before emerging triumphant. This was the second scheduled meet for Santa Monica, which was played first, since the first scheduled one was rained out. In their next start, the Orange and Gray racquet wielders were subjected to a severe lacing by Los An' geles, 23 to O, on the Lincoln Park courts. Ronnie Snasnn Lubin, Crimson ace, snapped the winning ways of Harlow Black, number one player for the Corsairs. By capturing a hardffought second doubles en' counter, the Long Beach jaysee Nordics were able to trim the Corsair representatives, 14 to 9, in confer' ence competition at Lincoln Park. Winners for the Orange and Gray were Harlow Black and Captain Gordon Williams. Black copped his fray in straight sets, while Williams nabbed the final two sets in love after dropping the first. Again two wins in a series was the most the Orange and Gray could gain in a series as the Glenf dale Jaysee Vaqueros lassoed the Santa Monica conf tingent, 14 to 9, at Lincoln Park. Captain Gordon Williams and the team of Irving Berkenblitt and James Price accounted for the pair of Corsair wins. Improvement was shown by the Santa Monicans in the second meeting with Los Angeles Crimsons on the Vermont Avenue courts as the latter outfit came out on top, 19 to 4. The Corsairs that broke through the Cub monopoly were Roy Adkins and Cyril Ma' quire. Several other close matches resulted. As the SpinfDrift was going to press, the secondf round frays with Long Beach and Ventura were not played. The Nordic contest was stricken from the schedule, while the Ventura series was defaulted to Santa Monica. One conference match remained, the one with Glendale on the Vaquero courts. In nonfconference competition, the Orange and Gray tied the Whittier College varsity and lost to the varsities of Occidental and Caltech and to the year' lings of U.C.L.A. 92 I 14 First and second men on the tennis squadfl-larf low Black and Captain Gordon Williziiiis -represent' CoNFERENc:E Rhcoan ed Santa lvlonica Jaysee in the collegiate division of Sillliil Mfilliiil IS ....--..,AV-,7....,..,,7 VCIHUIT1 7 t' 3 , , ', ' V' , ' ,1 'T ', I ' , C,,.-...

The Y.lVl.C.A. contingents walked off with top laurels in club football and basketball, while the winners in class football were the Betas, and in gym class basketball were the members of AI Phenis' quintet.

Occidental College was the scene of the first play' day, held in April. This playfday is invitational, and limited to 12 representatives from the college. The theme this year was color playdayn and embraced the following sports: Archery, swimming, basketball, hockey, and tennis. Representatives from here were Betty Kreichbaum, Pat Gergen, Ruth Fischel, Bobf bie Hyatt, Lillian Bergamo, Roddy Bock, Betty Gray Bowling, Ruth Chester, janet Howard, Doris Kirby, Marion Luedke, Sally Peterson, Jeanne Rhodes, and Donna Stewart. May day dawned brightly over Los Angeles Junior College, which was the scene of the second and last playfday of the year. Forty women amazons made the jaunt from here, representing tennis, archery, baseball, and swimming. Ethel Hyatt, crack mermaid, placed third in the backstroke, while Roddy Bock placed first in the diving contest, to capture 5 points for the meet. An entertainment of song and dancing was staged during the luncheon in the quad at the college. The final sports event of the year, the tennis and badminton tourney, was staged at Fullerton on May 8. Santa Monica sent 12 representatives-six for tennis, and six for badminton. Those wearing the orange and gray for tennis were Carol Rose and Ruth Fischel, singles, and Betty Gray Bowling and Donna Stewart, doubles. Batting the birdie for S.M. I.C. were La Roda Bock, Monica Perramfsinglesg and Vivian Mankey, Grace Pierson, and jean Leyf don-doubles. Play is held continuously throughout the day, with cups and medals awarded the winners. These awards are presented to the school at the award assembly. A wienie bake at Mary K, Carroll's cabin at Los Flores, the last of May, brought the social season of the W.A.A. to a successful climax. A busfload of victualfladen students wended their way to the beach to enjoy an evening of sports, games, and communf ity songs. Plans for the forthcoming award banquet were made at this affair. In addition to the sports prominent at playfday, several minor sports attained prominence this last year. Fencing, riding, badminton, hockey and folk dancing proved to be exceptionally popular among the women. In the folkfdancing class, national dances and craft dances were studied with particular attention paid to the technique and the rhythms. Projects were hand' ed in at the close of the semester, specializing in some phase of folkflore and dancing. Although this class was a new innovation, over 25 women enrolled, with four taking the class for W.A.A. activity. Badminton, under the direction of Bobbie Hyatt, also proved an up and coming sport, with a ladder tournament furnishing the competition. Battling for honors in the badminton tourney were Kramer, sin' glesg SchoenfeldfWaight, PurdyfMowers, Ansbro- Clarke, doubles. Sevenfthirty Monday evening, saw the horseback riding class jogging down the trail around the Dupf pee stables at Culver City, with all the poise of jock' eys. Riding, always popular, came to a satisfactory season's close, with tive women receiving their letter awards. On December 15 a gala riding festival was staged under the direction of Doris Kirby, riding manager. Miss Duppee, and her trick horse, Frankie, gave ex' Top row: Hoeg. Bergamo.

Nantz, Rae Rennahan, Betty Rich, Shirley Stock, Doris Ann Kirf by, Delores Kleven, Portia Parke, Virginia Swinney, Roxanna Todd, and Rowene Tyler. The smallest group ever registered for a sport, turned out to be the fencing class, which consisted of but three members. Quantity, however, was made up in quality. This group, under the tutelage of Miss Mulholland of University of California at Los An' geles, made remarkable progress. Equipment for the three pupils was purchased this year, with plans for buying as many more outfits for next year. It is hoped that fencing may in the near future become a major activity for the women here. Three awards were scheduled to be made. Women participating were: Vera Bobsene, Ruth Fischel and Bobbie Hyatt. Although baseball as a rule has always been conf sidered more of a men's sport, Santa Monica women athletes proved to be the exceptions. A sturdy group of future Babe Ruthls gathered each sport period to practice hitting home runs and fouls, Although the team made only one public appearance during the spring semester, which took place at Los Angeles, the season was successful. The following made up the team: Catchers: Mary Marinas, Marjorie Crandallg Pitcher, Helen Flaxman, First Base, Mie Utsukig Sec' ond Base, Lillian Bergamog Third Base, Albertine Stone, Short, Delma Lee Shellg Right Field, Pauline Hughes, Center Field, Virginia Clarkg Left Fielder, Florence Brown.

A regular feature of each fall semester is the Annual Mixed Doubles tournament, under sponsor' ship of the Women's Athletic Association. This tournament is opened to the entire Junior College, with a dime entrance fee to help cover cost of balls. The tourney is played over a period of four weeks, with matches run off at the convenience of the play' ers. Winners in the event this year were Kline Dolan and Carol Rose. Cups were awarded the winners and runnerfup couples at the award assembly held at the close of the semester by the W.A.A. Waging a successful battle with officials, the Womf en's Athletic Association was fortunate in securing a fourth award this year. The bestowal of this fourth award is the climax of four semesters of W.A.A. activf ity. ' Previous to the addition of this fourth award, but three letters were available. The first award made is a small felt W.A.A.g the second, a felt oval with the club insignia, the third, a chenile letterg and fourth a small gold pin. The six women receiving their fourth award were: Betty Bowling, Bobbie Hyatt, Albertine Stone, Doris Northup, Marjorie Salisbury, and Ruth Fischel, Awards are made on the basis of attendance to the sport, and also by the attainment of a grade of at least Mc . Regular roll is taken in all W.A.A. classes as in all gym classes. The annual award luncheon, staged at the Deauville Beach club, brought the women's athletic season to a dramatic finish. At this affair, letters were presented to the eligible women, as well as the cups for the mixed doubles tennis winners.
