Through the tireless efforts of many progressive individuals, tangible results have at last appeared where plans for our new campus are concerned. For that reason, thc SPIN-DRIFT staff decided it would be approp- riate to dedicate the 1948 yearbook to the completed section of the concrete stadium, which stands as visible proof that the hopes and struggles of so many have not been in vain .... Since Santa Monica City College will celebrate its twentieth anni- versary next year, the ambitious committee in charge of plans is deter- mined to have the entire campus ready for occupation in 21.9. With crossed fingers, since there have been interminable delays, we can all look to the future, when a new generation of students will grace the halls of an impressive and permanent campus . . . !

Page Eighteen Associated Student Body commission as they started work in the fail: Owen O'Brien, AMS president, Max Tipton, commissioner of publications, Rudy Kroon, commissioner of finance, Adelle Nemetz, commissioner of records, Dick Sherman, ASB president, Letty Derus, commissioner of arts, Mickey Dion, ASB vice-presi- dent, and Marty McCubbin, AWS president. Dick Sherman, affectionately referred to as PappyU by everyone, wielded the gavel as ASB president in the fall and saw the successful completion of a full and active semester. He was capably aided in his planning by ami- able Mickey Dion. AWS and AMS affairs were handled by Martha Ann McCubbin and O. B. O'Brien respec- tively, who served in the capacity of presidents of the two organizations. The problem of balancing the budget fell into the experienced hands of Rudy Kroon, Commis- sioner of Finance, and the pleasant task of arranging for assemblies, dances, etc., was delegated to Letty Derus, Commissioner of Arts. Adelle Nemetz as Commissioner of Records assumed the duty of faithfully keeping a writ- ten record of the Commission meetings. In keeping with his journalistic background and experience was the office of Commissioner of Publications, which Max Tipton held that semester. FFICERS With all his knowledge gained from his previous semester's experience in student government, it's little wonder that Mickey Dion turned in such a splendid piece of work as spring ASB prexy. Al Steubing provided some able assistance whenever called upon in his capacity as vice-president. Letty Derus continued to serve the student body in the spring term also, having been elected AWS president. The AMS presidency was taken over by' jovial Bill Jordan. Eleanor Bowen, Commissioner of Records, and John Crowley, Commissioner of Finance, proved to be excellent choices to fulfill the duties of their offices. As Commissioner of Publications, Roger Holmes called all his literary talent to the fore in order to do the best job possible. Rounding out the commission was Keith Williams, Commissioner of Arts, who displayed much enthusiasm in planning spring dances and assemblies. :Slaying . . . ASB president, Opheleo, quarter- back-frienclly, capable Mickey Dion. From vice-president in fall to president in spring was a well- deserved boost.

AWS Martha Ann McCubbin directed the fall activities for the Associated Women Students. She was assisted by Lou Lawrence as vice-president, Bernadette Gagnon as secre- tary, and Marilyn Smedley as treasurer. First major undertaking of the semester was the Halloween Party which the AWS sponsored in conjunc- tion with the Associated Men Students. On November 8 the annual AWS-WAA Conference was held in Riverside and SMCC responded enthusiastically with twenty-six representatives. A fashion show with Caroline Leonetti, the traditional Christmas party for women, and aiding the AMS with the Talent Show were other accomplish- ments of the AWS. Chairmen of the various committees on the AWS Board were Martha Kirby, Mildred Price, Jean Hagen- buch, Shirley Ford, Betty Bowman, Margaret Coulson, Carol Kruse, Margaret Jackson, Jackie Trammel, Marion Vurpillat, Adelle Nemetz, Letty Derus, and Jinx Haney.

Dr. Merle Taber spoke on Marriagei' at the first AWS assembly. In conjunction with the AMS, the women students put on the April Fool Hop and sponsored the May Carnival. In May the AWS gave a tea for the graduating women and their mothers. The semester's work was climaxed with the semi-annual AWS Board dinner.

' W use-' l Familiar faces in the quad, Obie O'Brien, Fall AMS president, smiles into the camera while vice-president Tom Sikking pon- ders the duties of his office. Owen Obie O'Brien, Fall AMS president, turned out to be one of the best campus leaders ever to take office. When the AMS and AWS de- cided to sponsor a ioint Hallow- een party in the fall, this ener- getic group of men students under the leadership of O.B. O'Brien, sat down and system- atically scheduled the whole affair to insure its success. AM Under the leadership of Gwen O'Brien and Tom Sikking, the AMS achieved a record second to none on the campus during the fall semester, First on its agenda, the AMS presented a feast to the football squad at the beginning of the season. Probably the outstanding event sponsored by this club was the traditional Alpha-Beta Brawl on October 22. In conjunction with the AWS, the AMS arranged the annual Halloween party which reached a new high for lunch-time enjoyment. As host to the football squad, the AMS Club again entertained on December 18 with a banquet at Ar1gelino's Italian Restaurant and thus ended an activity-Hlled semester. Duties of AMS presidency for spring were handled by track and football star Bill Jordan, genial and ambitious leader. In the spring the Associated Men Students, under the leadership of president Bill Jordan and vice-president Dick Morris, did all that the job calls for and more. There was the Alpha-Beta brawl. They held an April Fool's dance in conjunction with the AWS, helped with the inter-squad football game and May carnival. The two officers brought service and efficiency to the student bodyg but most important, they brought friendliness and a few laughs to a school noted for them. Some of the more active mem- bers of the AMS in the spring shown in a huddle in the quad discussing their participation in college events are Dick Morris, Bill Jordan, president, Mickey Dion, and Tom Sikking. Keith Williams, John Crowther, Al Steubing, and Chuck Gladish cheerfully roll up their sleeves in preparation for their booth- building activities for the May Carnival.

GPHELECJS... Service without any hope of conspicuous rewardn is the motto of the Opheleo Society, men's honor service club. From the first day of registration to the last day of finals, the mem- bers of this club are always alert to the needs of fellow students and the school: athletic events, assemblies, May days, brawls, wherever they are needed. Men are chosen for the club on the basis of their scholastic standing, character, leadership ability, and desire to render service. Nomina- tions are submitted by club members, the com- mission, and the faculty, and final selection is made by a faculty committee. In the spring, for the first time in the club's history, there were enough men capable and worthy of filling the maximum of fifteen members. The fall officers were Johnny Howe, presi- dentg Vince Ridge, vice-president, Hal Tam- blin, secretary-treasurer, and Fred Hicks, ser- geant-at-arms. With a full membership and eager leader- ship, the group went even further in school ser- vice in the spring. Max Tipton as president rounded out a school career famous for service and leadership. Obie O,Brien was vice-presi- dentg Vince Ridge was secretary-treasurer, Dick Lithgow served as sergeant-at-arms. FRONT ROW: Chuck Glaclish, John Crowther, Chuck Clark, Vincent Ridge, O. B.

GAMMA hvqxwf The opening of the fall semes- ter found the Gamma Class or- ganizing its strength and talent. Electing Duke Hendrickson as president, John Logan as vice- president, and Barbara Sherer as secretary-treasurer, the Gammas emerged from the forgotten class background to participate loyally, enthusiastically, and wil- lingly in all school affairs. During the spring semester the gavel was turned over to Tom Duff, assisted by Vice-president Hal Tamblin and Secretary- treasurer Helen Riat. Roger Holmes, Betty Bowman, John Logan, vice-president, did much to further Gamma activities in the fall. Not pictured, Duke Hendrickson, prexy, Barbara Sherer, secretary- treasurer. In the spring, R. R. Reukema, Helen Riat, Tom Duff, Davy Davidson were responsible for all Gamma class activities. One of the maior events of the school year was the Leap! Spring! Jump! dance which provided members of the Gamma class with an opportunity to further develop friendships. BETAS -if-'ei :mm Under the leadership of Lou Lawrence, Tom Duff, Davy Davidson, and adviser, R. R. Reukema, the Beta class started off the year with a bang in the fall. Dr. Rulon Smith received the willing coopera- tion of the spring Beta officers whenever he called upon them to help with class plans. FRONT ROW: Army Lockwood, Ellen Sheriffs, Bill Underwood, Dr. Smith. BACK ROW: Jim Baxter, Dean Hanson. Usually the final event at the traditional semi- annual Alpha-Beta Brawl is the Tug-O'-War where volunteers from both classes attempt to capture the trophy for their class. i t During the fall semester, Tom Duff acted as president of the Beta class, while Davie Davidson as vice-president, and Lou Law- rence as secretary-treasurer, as- sisted him. The Betas were active in the college activities, as well as in their own class affairs. Army Lockwood was elected president of the class during the spring term, with Jim Baxter acting as vice-presidentg Ellen Sheriffs as secretary, and Bill Underwood as treasurer. The strength of the Betas was shown as they again overpowered the inexperienced Alphas in the tra- ditional brawl. Class adviser is Dr. Rulon Smith. ALPHAS 'nz' The fall Alpha class had little trouble in becoming adjusted to college routine. Electing Dick Kendelon as president, John Yoder as vice-president, Celia Brockett as Secretary, and Danny Ermacora as treasurer, the Alphas spent an active semester. The spring Alpha class proved capable in all undertakings except the Alpha-Beta Brawl, when again inexperience proved to be their down-fall.

The task of choosing a May Queen affected everyone on the campus. Ten candidates, all enthusiastically backed by clubs, came to the polls. When the smoke had cleared, Barbara Blick held the lead over Lee Hayden, Rochelle Witkovsky, Marilyn Thayer, and Marion Vur- pillat, all named attendants, after one of the most enthusiastic elections in school history. Results of the balloting were announced at the Carnival Capers dance on the Friday pre- ceding the Carnival. All week long the royal court reigned amid an avalanche of publicity. The Carnival festivities saw Barbara crowned on a flower-adorned throne. All day long she was hailed by the throngs at the Carnival. CARNIVAL . . . Herb Roney and Pete Escobar pummel each other before impressed ringsiders. Roney gained the decision. Ed Zuchelli has his smile temporarily erased by a Ray Saylor left jab. Saylor landed enough such blows to gain a victory. A group of students and faculty wander about the booth concessions built and operated by campus clubs. A spirit of festivity enveloped the campus on April 30, as it does every spring. The occasion was the colorful May Carnival. Queen Barbara Blick reigned over a beguiling assortment of activities. The boxing matches proved to be unusually exciting. Herb Schenk's ample facial foliage netted him a razor and shaving cream prize in the beard contest. An old-fashioned melodrama and accompanying olio acts were presented by campus clramatists. The W.A.A. girls upset the aging but eager faculty in the softball exhibition. As a climax to the day,s excitement, a caravan of cars with a police escort paraded to the new campus site to see a SMCC-ELAJC baseball game. V, ..

THE LINES... At the start of the fall semester the future of the school paper was very shaky. A combina- tion of a shortage of printers and a flood of more pressing business in the school board print shop put the Corsair on second priority, a position that would lead to oblivion. Editor Roger Holmes, in an attempt to solve the problem, left no stone unturned. The student body president and commissioner of publications joined him in bringing the problem to the attention of the superintendent of schools. The commission offered to do anything it could. The faculty was helpful. All agreed the school paper was necessary in organization and coordination of school activities. Finally insistent action by Dx Sandmeyer brought relief to the situation. This illustrates the necessity of a good school paper. It should First be informative, and then amusing, with the two combined if possible. Roger Holmes in the fall was aided by such capable journalists as Helen Riat, feature editor, Archie Teague followed by Gil Anderson, sports, and Jim Allison, Bob Creber, Bill Dobson, Crrin Hubbell, Bill Hunt, Skip Leavitt, Pat Lennon, LaVerne LeRoy, Vialette Man- augh, Al Smith, Don Stephenson, and Buzzy Wedin, reporters and columnists. In the spring, editor Betty Miller had Joseph Hood as assistant editor, Doris Johnson, features, Kevin O'Brien, sports, and John Connelly, Howard Dwight, Tom Giles, Cam Guer- cio, John Hamilton, Randy Harker, Phil Hawkins, Myron Kaplan, Arthur Marks, Dean Rain- ery, Jackie Trammel, and Richard Tropea, reporters. They were helped over the rough spots by adviser E. R. Coulson. Page Forty nme SKIPPER As the years begin to lengthen and this year's spin-drift is unshelved and its pages nostalagically' Hngered, the hopes, dreams, inspirations, and toil of the stall will have been consummated. Faced with such significent responsibilities, editor Betty Bowman optimistically started work early in the fall. Every school event had to be given its proper setting in the pattern. Each volunteer was judged on his ability when a capable stall was chosen. Betty's charm, enthusiasm, and ability were contagious, and the months saw the immense job bustled to a success- ful conclusion. Associate editor Max Tipton displayed a flair for organization in keeping photographers and photo- graphees synchronized. Over five hundred pictures had to be taken and in so little time. Photo editor Bob Harris kept pumping in the necessary supplies and was always on hand in a pinch, albeit flooded with assignments. In the spring he utilized the help of John Dillon, Don McCollister, and Bill Peck. Experienced sports editor Graydon Young demonstrated his outstanding talent for both writing and editing. Bernadette Cagon countered with women's sports activities. Copy editor Roger Holmes delved into his jour- nalistic background to write copy and captions to give the creation continuity. Gloria Chapman patiently pursued the drab but necessary job of getting photos ready for engraving. Lily Odahara brought a certain aestheticism to the well-planned informality of the montage pages. jim Baxter combined both time and talent in doing the end sheets for the book. Doris Meyer handled the circulation and distribution. Writers Helen Riat, Court Eichaolz, Ed Zuchelli, and Myron Kaplan proved themselves the best in the school. Sometimes the job was overwhelming, but always on hand with calm, sincere reassurance and advice was B. E. Fisher, adviser. BETTY BOWMAN MAX TIPTON dltor Ih Chief Associate Editor AND CREW B. E.

This group of smiling students paused briefly at the formal Christmas dance to pose for the Spin-Drift photographer. SMCC, Fall semester, 1947 A. D.: How sharp can you geti' and 5'Drop deada' were the favorite contempora- ry expressions. Women students were discovering The New Look and men students were desperately trying to stop the hem-line drops. Veterans were faced with the possibility of having to pay for their own supplies and fees. The new stadium was overdue, much to the ire of Corsair sports fans. But despite these hardships, activities at Tenen'1ent Tech flowed on in their tranquil grooves. Bystanders smile approvingly as King Denny Rozsa and Queen Barbara Blick start the evenings festivities by having the first dance at the Christmas Dance These are a few of the lil Abners and Daisy Maes that attended the fall Sadie Hawkins dance in appropriate attire Marlon Vurpillat Bull Eckholdt Pat Bentz Denny Rozsa Chuck Gladlsh Shirley Nichols Gibby Cull Johnny Acee , YV, 4 - Blending their voices in solemnly presenting songs appropriate to the Yule-tide season, the City Col- lege choral group, under the direction of E.

' There was a deluge of coffee, donuts, and cake sales by the campus clubs. There were also a number of charity drives, all of which met their ambitious quotas: Red Cross, WSSF, March-of-dimes, Community Chest. Assemblies?

'lv at 1 . m,.an ba,a I ir we-5 iz '- Registration frenzy, Dr. Sand- meyer's plea for friendliness, and a Hello Dancen marked the first week of school, spring, 1948. Veter- an students got a raise in subsist- ence. Singing Four Leaf Clover replaced knitting argyles as Dame Corsair,s favorite indoor sport. In the quad the chains bordering the grass continued to protest their use as unofficial lawn swings. Parking space became more precious. And the commission voted more money for activities. The four big dances, even the 'fswing and sway with RCA af- fairs, became more popular than ever. In lieu of Woody Herman. Wade Thomas brought his band before the student body for an assembly. Bob Jacobs blew a sweet alto sax solo backed by the rest of the band. Voters diligently study the ballot to see who will re- ceive the benefits of their votes while the election board offers what help they can. Spacious Casino Gardens in its entirety was rented for the first time for an A.S.B. dance. Dick Peter- son's orchestra played. letty Derus handled the affair. Page Fifty-four Assemblies offered a wide range, including Wade Thomas's Dance Band, the Hancock Ensemble, Don Blanding, a marriage consultant, the Talent Show. The May Carnival spirit pos- sessed everyone. Above the hilarity of beard contests, boxing, drama, and booth sales arose the throne of the comely May Queen and her COLlI't. But diversion seemed a bit des- perate and superficial, for stalking the campus were recruiting agents -and their arguments grew more convincing every day. April Fool's Day called for some festivities in the form of a noon hop pictured here, with some hep Corsairs really cutting a rug. One of the most successful of the year's many dances was the Leap! Spring! Jump! Some of the earlier arrivals are pictured talking over the day's events. A party following all the cus- toms of Latin America was giv- en by the always active Spanish club sponsored by Salvadore Paez. Zaire Brown was presi- dent.

Page Sixty-two After being floored for a nine count by early season defeats, Coach Curt Youel's gridiron aggregation bounced off the mat to take second place in Metro League play for the second year in a row. Only a skeleton of the old,' Metropolitan outfit was left after Compton, LACC, Ventura, Pasadena and Long Beach dropped out to form the new Far Western Conference. Left were Bakersfield, Glendale, and Santa Monica. East Los Angeles J. C. and El Camino were tacked on to the list to give the appearance of a standard league. With this basic start, a revised and rough schedule saw the Corsairs gain a split second decision, dropping Hve contests, winning the same number. Out of non-conference matches came Santa Monica's ultimate lead- ing scorer, fullback Bill Jordan, who ran off with four TD's, latching on to aerials from quarterbacks, Norm Knute', Clark and Johnny Acee. When league play opened, Buc pigskinners settled down and made their bid for the title, which netted them five consecutive victories. East Los Angeles -I. C. fell prey to a typical Corsair thriller, one of the many that highlighted the 194.7 season. The score was knotted at 6-6 going into the last six minutes of play when Santa Monica started a drive from their own I6 yard line. Passes by Clark and Acee to ends Dick James, Bill Eckholdt, and Bob McCarthy took the pigskin to the Huskie 15. From there the game-winning pass was heaved by Clark to halfback Denny Rozsa. Then Barney King added the extra point, the Buc's first win, 13-6. El Camino retreated to showers the losers, by probably the most thrilling 20 seconds in Michigan Avenue's grid history. A 6-o lead kept Camino in firm possession of the game. Rozsa intercepted a pass to go Io2 yards for the tying tally. Barney King shared in the extravaganza of thrills when he toed up the finishing point. Score, Camino 6, S. M. 7. Glendale fought hard to stop this win drive, but failed. Acee hot- footed it for one tally, an 80 yard gallop, and Lauren Fickett, fullback, pushed over the second TD, grabbing on to a Clark toss. Big Benbrooks, tackle, dropped Glendale's Earl in the end zone for the safety, thus the 16-13 conclusion, plus the Buc's third league win. Tense was the situation when Santa Monica, with three league wins and no losses, met Bakersfield, a one-time loser. Result. Bakersfield donned the Metro crown after setting Youelis men down IQ-O, before a packed house of 1o,ooo fans up north. With the '47 pigskin photographs put away in the scrapbook, a new look appears for the coming year. Gone from the ,48 squad will be such faces as Jim Chadwick, Lauren Fickett, Mickey and Barney King, Denny Rozsa, Bill Eckholdt, Russ Mathews, Stan Benbrooks, Bill Meiklejohn, Bob Hanson, Steve Steere, Johnny Howe. But, let it be said, the past season is dead, long live the future.

This time it was just one game behind the king-pin Glendale Vaquero five. B All in all, it was a very profitable year for the beach-town crew, ending league competition with six wins, two setbacks. Practice sessions didn't fare quite so well, as the Bucis got off to a slow start, dropping four in a row. Thus did they end with an over-all record of twelve victories and nine losses. Captain Allyn Jones and Bob PeteH Peterson acted as the forward combo. Ray Fallon, high point Buc of the year with a total 197 points, harnessed center with Vaughn Tolman, second high Corsair scorer with 177 digits, at one guard and Bob Bates and Chuck DeGarmo sharing starting honors at the other guard slot. This group along with Rudy Brown, Sid Campbell, Paul Enriquez, and Jack Farrell forged through the complicated and tough Santa Monica schedule.

With the exception of holdovers Johnny Hackett, Wayne Harding and Earl Hockman, this year's baseball squad was completely new to junior college competition. Even Coach Dave McNeil is a novice around the city college campus, being in his first year as head diamond mentor. The Metro Conference acquired a new member when San Diego J. C. joined the circuit. This brought the total of teams in the league to six. The schedule was based on a home and home series, of which the Bucs had to spend their time either on the road or at the Municipal Stadium, something that was not entirely new to a weary ball club. Facing their league opponents the Bucs had a quartet of front line hurlers which included Frank Poss, Bob Swartzell, Arnold Cook, and Craydon Young, the latter also being used as the regular third baseman when not on the mound. At the time of publication, the Corsairs had played six practice frays. Poss had shown himself to be number one hurler. Swartzell, an outstanding tennis player who gave up the racket sport to concentrate on pitching, was another starter. Cook and Young filled out of the rest of the small staff that went through the season. Wayne Harding, leading Buc slugger, was holding sway at Hrst. The other infield posts were contested for by Erwin BabeH Jones, Hackett, George Gino, Jerry Rossler and Young. The Buc outheld was taken care of by Bill Stumpus, Chuck Madigan, Marty Roth, Tommy Thompson and Earl Hockman. The two man catching staff was handled by Bill Eckholdt and Jim Herold. Eckholdt was the number one backstop, capably backed by Herold. The Corsairs in early season affairs lost six straight games, but with the seasoning they acquired showed to good advantage in the rest of the important remaining games. 5 ti kg' if H Y E 2,2 vi! mswssasxaw -:- ..: .-..

Smooth running Chester Collins, the greatest of all Corsair distance runners, sprinting discovery Bob Palmer Ca better than ten-flat hun- dred manj and the 1947 national if JC champion half-rniler Danny Guest were the top individual com- petitors for the locals. All three of these men were approaching mid- season form near the beginning of March, with Palmer turning in a mark of 9.9 in the meet with the UCLA Frosh in his favorite event the one hundred yard dash. Long- legged Collins proved that he was ready for all junior college comers when he ran fourth in the 5000 meter run in the Long Beach Relays against the cream of college and AAU competition, while Guest was content to outrun all aspiring half milers in his quest to remain unde- feated for the second straight year. 7 L ye it rw rw-if FRONT ROW: Acee, Robinson, Annis, Miller, Guest, Mosher, Steere, Williams Harris, mgr. MIDDLE ROW: Rinck, Blakely, Palmer, Collius, Cameron, Thomas O'Brien. BACK ROW: Merritt, Schmitz, Chown, Wells, Rainery, Rogers, Johnson Smith, Schmidt, Tichenor, Trent, Kenmore, Marshall, Aldridge. ROUND... Milland Annis, Legs', Schmidt, Jim Rinck, and a host of others gave Coach Merritt added depth in the Sprints, while Miller and Rainery backed up Guest in the half mile, with Rainery also a surprisingly adept distance performer. When the team was first formed, the field events seemed to be sadly shy of point winning material, but Coach Merritt developed a good deal of power in the jumping and throwing departments. Stan Zimmelman, a slight but powerful shot putter, came out of a six-year retirement to heave the sixteen pound weight well over 40 feet, as did big Dick Tichenor, the giant of the squad. Nebraska johnson, a sprinting aspirant, teamed up with Marty Trent in the discus, and together these two men were always good for two places in the platter event. Mosher, Buzzy', Trent, Rinck, and Big Bob Bates, all top javelin men, were constantly besting one hundred and Hfty feet, with Bates being the first man with well over one hundred and sixty foot throws to his credit. Aldridge and Medley rotated from the high jump to the broad jump, while Medley also proved himself to be a stalwart in the weights. Many other Corsair competitors added points to the Santa Monica totals in these events, vivid evidence of the vigor and determination that made the locals a top outfit against any opponents. With the season now at an end, many of the Corsairs have made their final eilforts. Gone next year will be Collins, Guest, and Palmer among many others, but with Coach Carl Mer- ritt, the amazing developer of champions, at the helm, and the steadily rising enthusiasm and the spirit in the Corsair ranks, it is safe to say that 1949 will once again see a great team represent Santa Monica in track and field. Page Szxty nzne ..+ wr ' -'W ata, N ,,,,..,.. 1, HIGH STRUNG . . . Only one tennis letterman, Fitz Green, was on hand from last yearis 54,7 champs. Despite this fact, Coach Crumpacker was able to form a well-balanced team and Hnish in second place in the conference standings, wallop- ing Bakersfield '21-6 for the grand Hnale. Frank Dazey, Earl Livingood, and Fitz Green bol- stered the team, all three being nearly equal in tennis ability. Tom Mawhinney and Bob Aran rounded out the singles.

This year the W0men's Athletic Association enjoyed another program of activities such as Sadie Hawkin's Dance, various tournaments, and the big Play Day held at LACC, which were planned by the board members. This organization always enables wo- men students ample opportunity to take part in their favorite sports. Both semester's oHicers are shown perched on the wall. Spring, Wilma Langdon, Doris Sutter, Margie Larson. Fall, Marion Vurpillat, Shirley Neill, La- Verne LeRoy. Sports . . . For those who were more in favor of joining in a good, spirited game of volleyball or softball than the milder forms of exercise, then the sports class was the ideal solution. This large group of hardy souls boarded a school bus and went out to the new campus to hold some fast and furious sessions, but it was all in fun with no casualties reported. There was such a demand among the WAA members for the resumption of this class that it was necessary to schedule it again in spite of the lack of facilities on the present campus. Tennis . . Some exciting sessions in the fast game of tennis occur when the ad- vanced classes decide to really settle down for some serious courtin'.,' The girls in these classes have taken the problem seriously of learning proper court etiquette, as well as mastering improved techniques of footwork and timing. Since Santa Monica has always been considered a tennis city, there has always been a tendency for stu- dents to attempt to excel at it. Here, Darlene Mullins and Margie Larson team up for doubles. Social Dancing . . . Arthur Murray? Who's he? can be heard above scintillating rhumba rhythms emanating from the Womenis Field House twice a week. Displaying their intricate steps and thoroughly enjoying themselves are these members of Miss Hellneris social dancing class. As might be expected, it is a popular class with women students. At first, however, the instructor found it a little diflicult to coax enough shy, but interested males into enrolling where they can learn basic dance steps which help them overcome their fear of a dance floor. - Modern Dance . . . In the small, but talented modern dancing group, interpretation, rhythm, artistic expression are the qualities which students seek to develop as they use their ingenuity in creating symbolic dances. Results range anywhere from impressions of nursery rhymes to Shakespeare. Here, Margie Larson, Eadie Black, Ann Donnelly, Joan Riggs, and Ann Jackson are pictured in a dance they titled Submissionf' Archery . . . According to the reports from Miss Carroll, archery instructor, the members of this year's class were out to make William Tell look like a mere novice at hitting the bulls-eye. The girls patiently spent many hours on our archery range in order to bring up their total scores, besides practicing for the tournament which was held this year. Badminton . This very exhausting and skill-re- quiring sport has always proved ex- tremely popular with the women stu- dents, who are anxious to develop tournament-winning trick shots and smashes. A high point of the year for badminton enthusiasts was the Southern Califbrnia tournament at Fullerton in the spring, which was attended by several of our accomplish- ed players. Realizing practice makes perfect, LaVerne LeRoy, Marion Bloeser, Betty Bowman, and Joyce Jones indulge in a fast doubles game. Bowling . . Let's have a strike! No, thatas not an order from a labor leader, but merely the heartfelt wish of every member of Miss Carrollis energetic bowling classes. After leaving, many girls have advanced to the realm of the top ten-pinners because of their deliberate and patient practicing of the tips on form and technique given them by the instructor. Displaying form par excellencei' here are Willeen Smith and Lois Ream. Golf . . c'Has anyone seen my golf ball?i' is a familiar cry from the girls in the golf class which is conducted on the Held of the new campus. Under the tutelage of Miss Hellner, students quickly assumed the proper stance, learned to keep their eyes on the ball, and developed long drives, all of which are necessary to acquire self-confidence and become an expert on the links. Doris Sutter is shown following through after a practice drive. .H i,ss.,i'sIiE wi ,332 Blonde-thatched Duke Hendrickson Marion Vurpillat is probably lead- always added a bit of gayety at ing Bobo . . . , popular cheer of the football games with his friend- the Corsair rooting section.

YELL FOR . ,., Corsair football fans traveled far to see their team play. The lack of a home stadium did not discourage the always-spirited rooters. This was a great deal due to the eilorts of head cheer leader Hal Tamblin and his Stall: Duke Hendrickson, Army Lockwood, Patty Bentz, Marion Vurpillat, and colorful and energetic pom-pomn girls Jinx Haney, Eleanor Bowen, Shirley Nichols, and Barbara Matson. l I 1 rt f Mums-Hrwee'smearsX-waesf'-fstrewn-arrowsf- 1 's-fl ' f Ll,-ww ai Pert, cute Patty Bentz was always a pleasure to look at when the game got dull.
