A Helping Hand WVARREN BRENTON-head custodian who has been with the school since it started, is in charge of keeping the campus and classrooms clean, and ordering the mops, brooms, sweeping com- pound, towels, and soap which his staff must have each term. OTTO I-lINES4assistant custodian, has spent the last two years working with Mr. Brenton to keep the campus and class- rooms in the best possible order despite the complications of a crowded campus and a postwar shortage of vital supplies. ERNEST DEAN-assistant custodian, has been working under Mr. Brenton for the past year and helping him to cope with the difiicult problems of keeping clean classrooms, which must run on crowded double shifts for current record enrollment. MRS. LORENA BALSLEY-matron, was transferred from Santa Monica High School last fall to keep the Women's Field House in shining order. She is also in charge of keeping the women's lounge neat and attractive. For those emergencies she keeps a supply of pins and some needles and thread handy. Al- ways ready to lend a helping hand, this popular matron is able to cope with practically any problem which arises. Warren Brenton Otto Hines Ernest Dean Lorena Balsley I6

The Corsair Co-op provides books and other stationery necessaries, as well as an occasional candy bar to the hungry. More important, however, is the opportunity to congregate, to pass along the latest gossip, to make last-minute attempts to study. So, the benches placed around the Quad are another dearly beloved part of the campus. From the earliest hours of the morning until evening time, Corsairs are always to be found enjoying them- selves at these two locations. The Spin-Drift staff presents these views of the campus to all members of the graduating class, knowing full well that they will serve to recall fond memories of college days, long after manv other occurrences have been forgotten. Leaving the Co-op after searching for books or their friends are Dick VanPatten, Joyce Tobin, Gene Glarson, Cliff Rogers, Bill Overgard, Barbara Blick, Marcelle Whiteman, Bob Reddish, Ernest Marquis, Jack Blackwell, and Dick Sillings. s
