Upon these stones, so soundly placed, is rising the realization of their dreams in the Santa Rosa Junior College. . f fy. MX I A l, . YN ,'!f----Qs, , x , fi . X' ,i MLSLEQ r'11s.sf2'w31afs-rwss.

However, shortly afterwards, in the winter of 1921, the building was completely demolished by fire. Finding themselves stranded without educational facilities, the small student body of 28 moved in with high school and elementary grades in the old annex, which is now the junior High School. Because of crowded quarters, junior high held classes in the morning, and high school and junior college in the afternoon. Physics, chemistry, and geology classes necessitated construction of two small buildings in the rear of the annex, which are now used as auxiliary classrooms for the present junior high school. X if, . 5 fa IWN In December of I93O Mayor George R. Caden of Santa Rosa turned the first shovel-full of earth in the ground breaking ceremonies for the construction of the new Santa Rosa-Sebastopol Union junior College. Although this was but the start of the hrst structure it was progress towards completion of a ten year building program to embrace a complete educational center. Nine IX Ri IH Aff iff A X Q a xl- Bnarrl uf Trustees Fo? gr 91 Lvlt lu Rigbf: Mrs. Resler, Mr. Bcch, Mr. Garcia, Mr. Tauzcr, Mr. Baker, Mr. Shulmw. Although not in direct contact with the students, the Board of Trustees is an integral part of the administration of Santa Rosa junior College. Through their influence and work there has been a steady expansion of both curricular and extra-curricular activities. Meeting the growing enrollment in the newly formed commercial department, the Board ap- pointed two new faculty members, Margery Fellers and Dorothy john- son, as well as adding two thousand dollars worth of equipment. Also with an eye to the natural beauty of the campus, a five year plan of tree surgery was inaugurated to preserve the oaks. Other prominent additions which this group was instrumental in accomplishing were: the erection of a new work shop and storage building, installation of a modern telephone switchboard and lines for communication between buildings, resurfacing of the library floor with linoleum, and the repairing of the driveways on the campus. President of the Board for the past seven years, C. J. Tauzer at one time used to coach Bear Cub athletic teams. W. W. Shuhaw, George Bech, and Sheridan Baker are also original members. A. M. Garcia took over the vacancy left by J. B. Bridgeford, who resigned in 1932. Mrs. Patty Resler acts as recording secretary for the Board. Ab 14 Q Organized in October of 1929, the district junior college expanded quickly, largely because of the great aid rendered by the first Board of Trustees, which was composed of W. W. Shuhaw, presidentg C. J. Tauzer, Sheridan Baker, of Santa Rosag and J. B. Bridgeford, secretary, and A. M. Garcia, both of Sebastopol. G. N. Bech was selected as secretary in june, 1952. Ten President Baile Floyd P. Bailey, President of the Junior College. Much of the steady forward progress of the Santa Rosa junior College in the last two decades can be credited to the efforts of one man, Floyd Phillip Bailey. A native of Kingston, New Mexico, he came westward and received a Bachelor of Science degree in 1913, and his Master's degree in 1928, at the University of California. He first came to Santa Rosa as a teacher in 1919 and was appointed Dean two years later. This position he held for fourteen years, then in 1935 the Board of Trustees elected him President of the Santa Rosa junior College, which office he now holds. During this period under Mr. Bailey's administration, the student enrollment has been steadily increasing, from a mere 35 in 1921 to a climax of 541 this year. It is significant that during this period of expansion there has been maintained a very high standard in regard to the selection of teachers. This success has not come to Mr. Bailey by accident. His foresight and efficiency are products of much mental and physical effort, stimulated by an intense interest in his work. His line sense of values permits him to enjoy this increasing prominence and still remain an agreeable, sociable character. His outdoor exercise is supplied by golnng, fishing, and flower gardening. In point of service, President Floyd P. Bailey is the oldest official at the junior college, having been associated with it just after its inception in the Santa Rosa high school twenty years ago. Prior to that time, he attended the University of California, from which he graduated. He also did advanced work under eminent instructors at several universities. Elerwz 46 S39 EQ IB .F--v' S.- The Deans LOUISE E. ORDAHL EGBERT B. CLARK, JR. Dean of Women Deniz of lllen Fav? XA! Two of the most important positions in our junior college are held by the deans. Very likely only a great minority of the people concerned realize the tremendous task attached to administering the duties of a dean. Among them are such items as being responsible for the curriculum of every studentg giving personal as well as vocational advice wherever neededg participating in, and generally guiding every social function pertaining to the men's and women's student organizationsg and being obliged to attend more committee and council meetings than any other individual connected with the junior college. This institution has been fortunate to procure the services of Egbert B. Clark, jr., and Louise E. Ordahl for the positions of Dean of Men and Dean of Women respec- tively. Their efficiency is demonstrated by the fine records which our graduates are making at higher schools. As a result of working his way through Stanford, Mr. Clark is thoroughly qualified to diagnose and prescribe for the problems of our struggling youths. Mrs. Ordahl, with a Ph. D. degree in Psychology, is also particularly efficient in advising and guiding her feminine charges. Mrs. Ordahl is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, while Mr. Clark hails from La Grange, Illinois. 5991 Dean Egbert B. Clark's predecessor was President Floyd P. Bailey, who in 1934 was elevated to his present executive position. Miss Genevieve G. Mott acted as Dean of Women until 1951. At that time she resigned in order to devote more time to scholastic duties, and Dr. Louise E. Ordahl was selected to fullill her position as a most capable advisor to the women. Tufcl we Secretarial Staff yb PATTY RESLER OLLIE BRANDSTATT MARION OTT Hu.ri11v.u Serrutary A.f.riJl.f1f1t Registrar Acling RL'gi.YlV'lU' Although the sudden departure of Miss Eunice Elton, former registrar, necessitated a complete rearrangement of the many duties assigned to that ofhce, the work has been carried on smoothly and efliciently. This was accomplished under the direction of Miss Marion Ott, acting registrar, and through the addition of the services of Miss Ollie Brandstatt, serv- ing as assistant registrar. Miss Ott, as acting registrar, is personally re- sponsible tor the yearly junior college bulletin, all class time and room schedules, and all ofiicial communications between this and other insti- tutions regarding student records. She supervises the registration of all new students, and also acts as secretary for the scholarship and cur- riculum committees. Miss Brandstatt's duties consist of keeping the attendance records, making out transcripts for transferring students, mapping out the hnal examination schedule, and preparing the presi- dent's animal report. The duties of the junior college business office have been ably administered by Mrs. Patty Resler. She serves as the private secretary of President Bailey, recording secretary for the work of the Board of Trustees, and general business secretary for the junior college. Each of these three duties might well be considered a full time position. 545' Finding an efficient and competent secretarial staff a necessity, junior college authorities gave the position of business secretary to Patty Resler and that of assistant registrar to Marian Ott in 1935. Following the resignation of registrar Eunice Elton in 1957, Miss Ott accepted that position, and Ollie Brandstatt was made her assistant at the same time. Y 'hirlewl ee-'99 .

The annual Freshman Reception was held after the U.S.F. Frosh football game on September 24. For the fall semester, Stanley Lance was at the helm, assisted by john Butler as Vice President, Portia Foote as Secretary, and jack Rollin and Ruth Owen as Representatives.

AVN QQ! ll Records undestroyed by fire reveal that one of the first class officials at the junior college was Catherine Pressley, president of a class of nineteen sophomores. Ray Krotser headed the class in 1924, while Betty Bentley and George Bath led the class during 1925. In 1925, class elections were held in the old Fremont school, a far cry from our present modern junior college.

'ls Although records fail to show that the freshman class held an election of class othcers until 1923, the group enjoyed as many activities as the sophomores, although the latter group elected a president and a financial representative.

The local chapter of Masons, the Congregational Church, and Mailer Hard- ware Co. graciously offered the two student groups the temporary use of their buildings. Most of the junior college classes were held at the Masonic Hall, with the classes in botany, Zoology, anatomy, and agri- culture at the old Mailer warehouse, and study hall at the church. Despite this scattered schedule, which lasted for four years, the junior college continued to increase steadily in size. ..-,,,-.-, , J, The spring semester of 1932 saw the opening of the new science building with the latest furnishing and equipment for the conducting of geology, botany, physics, zoology, and chemistry classes.

For the first few years after our junior college had been established, the student body and the school activities were somewhat limited, so that no coordinating governing body was necessary. However, by 1926 the school had grown to the point where such a central control group was needed, and the first executive council was called together.

We trust that you will find joy in reviewing the activities of which you have been a part this year, and that the historical sketches will enable you to realize that today has been made possible through the faith and hopes of 1918. May this 1938 book be a patrin for the next twenty years of progress. E l n l A little yearbook for a little junior college-that seemed to have been the motto back in 1920 when the entire jaysee student body-all fifteen of them-united to commemorate their first graduating class by putting out the first BEAR CUB, a splendid little annual worked out in the blue- and-gold-of-California color motif.

HERBERT MUEH Erlilor Full Sv111e.rlw' The staff chosen to publish The Oak Leaf in the fall of 1937 was one of the smallest staffs in the past few years. This did not prove to be a handi- cap, for the members of the staff were enthusiastic, capable, and cooper- ative with Herb Mueh, the editor, in publishing a paper worthy of the junior college. Together, the staff experimented with different types of newspaper makeup and finally decided to adopt the style of the Los Angeles Collegian. The Oak Leaf appeared each Friday during the semester and was greeted by an increased number of enthusiastic readers who looked forward to receiving their copies. Q Our hrst paper, known as THE BEAR FACTS, was sponsored back in 192-1 by the Booster Club, an organization of the junior colleges live wires. In September, 1927, the publishing of the school paper was taken over by the classes in journalism and the title changed to THE OAK LEAF, and under the guidance of Miss Margaret Clark, it has made an excellent record.

A guest column on the feature page reflecting various students' views on campus life and a column on the junior college museum were added to the paper. These changes and the use of more cuts increased the interest in the school publication. Throughout the year, the columns of The Oak Leaf presented major issues and advanced junior college events. The editorial policy was one of taking definite stands on issues concern- ing our junior college and of furthering the expression of student opin- ion. The Oak Leaf is truly representative of the junior college. . , 4 at First put out bi-weekly, THE OAK LEAF, increasing in size and scope, grew into tl weekly, and in 1928 became a member of the California junior College Press Association.

The functions sponsored by the Associated Men Students were chosen because they interested the men and helped to accomplish the purpose of their organization. Under the leadership ofjamesTierney, president, Kenneth Mahurin,vice-presidentg and Lynn Graham, secretary, a dinner at the Santa Rosa Hotel was held on September 24 to welcome the new men students. The second event ot the semester was a smoker held on December 2. A large number of men students enjoyed this evening's entertainment of wrestling and boxing matches, free cigarettes, and refreshments. In the spring semester, the A.M.S. elected new officers to lead them through the remainder of the school year. Leland Miller was elected president, james Dillon, vice- presidentg and Robert Caldwell, secretary. There was only one event held in the spring, a smoker on the evening of March 23. The Associated Men Students do not have as many events during the year as the Associated Women Students for the majority of its members participate in campus activities through their membership in other campus organizations or by taking part in athletics. However, the Associated Men Students is not an idle group, for its success is evident in the bond of brotherhood that exists among all men students at the junior college. QQ!! ll The Associated Men Students was lirst organized in the spring of 1925, with Stanley Austin as president, Kenneth Brown as vice-president, and Carleton Spridgen as secretary. The Associated Men Students have always been a vital factor in our school life, creating a spirit of cooperation among the men and acting as a moving spirit behind school activity.

The women students were few in number this year, but they took an active part in all campus activities. Under the leadership of Virginia Montgom- ery, president, jewell Hinds, vice-presidentg Annette Pefley, secretary, and Ruth Owen, treasurer, in the fall semester, the A.W.S. held its three traditional events. On September 24 there was the annual fall dinner held to welcome the new women students. The freshmen women enjoyed the dinner, the program, and the football game as guests of their sopho- more sisters. On October 29, the women held a Hallowe'en party. The third traditional event sponsored by the A.W.S. was the annual Courtesy Dance held on November 19.This dance was carried out in the customary manner-the women for this night acting as escorts to the men. Annette Pefiey, Eileen Russell, Nora Moriarty, and Jeanne Adams were installed on February 17 as the cabinet of the A.W.S. for the spring semester, 1938. A semi-formal dance, the Spring Fashion Show, and the Mother's Day Tea were held in the spring semester. The cabinet members attended a convention held in Chico in April for officers of organizations 'of Associated Woilien Students. The activities of the year helped to ac- complish the aim of the Associated Wornen Students for 1938: to create a true and lasting friendship among all the women students.

Sessions, is to provide closer relationships for the chemistry students in the junior college and for those graduates already employed in the field of chemistry. A further aim is to make possible better intellectual and vocational contacts through associations which have been developed over a period of years. This club of fifteen members is unique in that it has neither officers nor dues. There are no re- strictions to membership other than an active interest in chemistry. One service the club performs is the renting of reagent racks to the chem classes, thereby being of assistance to fellow chemistry students. There is a photographic division within the Chemistry Club which sponsors the traveling salons of prize-winning photographs which are displayed from time to time in the college library. Last year, the members went to San Francisco to inspect an analysis laboratory. A similar trip was planned for this year. Records of music written by famous chemist composers were a source of entertainment that caused much interest and enthusiasm at one of the club meetings. The Chemistry Club took an active part in intra- mural games, both in basketball and in baseball. In addition to these various activities, the Chemistry Club is active in student affairs. It be- lieves that a breadth of interest and participation in general, social, and intellectual events is in every way desirable. The Chemistry Club was organized by Dr. Sessions in the spring of 1956, with an aim to the perpetuation of associations formed in junior college. Since its organization, the Chemistry Club has taken an active part in all school activities, and has been an important factor in the training and the placement of Chemistry majors of the Santa Rosa junior College. Tlairl y- four Hall Committee X In 1933, the Executive Council appointed ten men students active in school affairs to conduct the various activities sponsored by the Santa Rosa junior College. This committee of ten students became known as the Rally Committee and has become an indispensable organization on the campus. This year, the committee amended their constitution, which had limited the group to ten men, to include four women students. Those coeds who were honored by being elected associate members of the Rally Committee were jane Evans, Isabel Meserve, Sammy Price, and Mary Ellen Ward. jane Evans served as secretary of the organization for both semesters, with Leland Miller as president in the fall and Bill Barnett in the spring semester. The chief duties which the club performed dur- ing the year were parking cars at athletic contests, acting as ushers at games and at the play Dulcy, and sponsoring all the pre-game rallies, Slamlingf Comalli, Herman, Lema, Price, Evans, Butts, Wlard, Meserve, Badger, Tier- ney.

The services of the Committee were recognized, for the Executive Coun- cil purchased uniforms for the members to wear while on duty. The uni- forms were red and white jerseys worn with white duck trousers. Nine- teen thirty-eight marked the fifth birthday of the Rally Committee. Dur- ing these Hve years, the Committee has encouraged the feature days of the year and has gained the reputation of making the college activities more X Q enjoyable for everyone. Z I 'T f N A I , egg- l Y X There have always been live-wire organizations in jaysee to spark the - , school's social and scholastic activities.

Free expression of ideas is one of the means to this end, this method is sponsored by the Forum Club in its weekly meetings on Tuesday afternoons. Questions of national and international im- portance are discussed and analyzed by the members, all of whom are in- terested in political science or economics. Some. of the several topics studied this past year have been Cooperatives, American Labor Disputes, England Today, and the japanese Question. lt is the custom of the group for one student to introduce and outline the subject, then to have all members express their views. Mr. Bartlett, sponsor of The Forum, is always willing to aid in deciding difficult issues or to add important points that may not have been stressed by the students. The officers, who led the group through a successful year were Ellsworth Turner, presidentg Florence Hasegawa, vice-president, and Nita Thornton, secretary. In the spring semester, Edward Sautter led the groupg Marsha Gadie was vice- presidentg and Annagene Cnopius fulfilled the duties of secretary.

Tbirly-fix itae Lampada g l Vitae Lampada is proud to say it is the oldest organization on the Santa Rosa junior College campus and the one which is recognized as being the richest in traditions. For the past thirteen years, members of the Vitae Lampada fEnglisl1 Clubj have been selected in the same manner--by original manuscripts anonymously submitted by prospective members. Those students, whose manuscripts are accepted, become permanent members ot the Vitae Lampada, but only sophomores are eligible to be- come members. The purpose of the club has not changed but has con- tinued to be the encouraging of creative writing. The customary two meetings of the club each month have always been held at the homes of members. One of the typical programs this year was an evening spent in a report and discussion on the life of Robert Louis Stevenson in the South Seas and viewing motion pictures of that romantic spot. Two mem- bers of the club had recently returned from travels in Europe with in- teresting experiences to relate and motion pictures to view. The last event of the school year, and a traditional one too, was a river picnic. In the fall semester, Leo Koch and Matilda Nelson were the president and secretary. In the spring semester, Matilda Nelson became president, and Edwinna Foster was secretary.

The two honorary members ot the club are the presidents of the Associated Students, Hume Bunyan and james Tierney, and the Graduate Manager, Arnold Anderson. President Floyd P. Bailey and Mr. George Bartlett acted as advisors of the group. Officers for the fall semester were jack Rollin, president, Ray johnson, vice-president, and Waldie Berner, secretary. In the spring semester, jack Randall was president, Russell Travis, vice-president, and Ray johnson, secretary. The M.L.C. began its year's activities by spon- soring Brawl Day on October 14. At Thanksgiving, they helped with the decorations for the jan Garber Dance. The outdoor Christmas tree on the campus was decorated by this club. An annual affair given by the M.L.C. is an evening including dinner and motion pictures for athletes of various high schools. Other annual events sponsored by the M.L.C. are the skating parties held each semester and a swimming party held in the spring. At the Kollege Kampus Karnival held early in May, the club had a booth. All these activities prove that the Men's Luncheon Club is truly one of the leading organizations in the college and one of service. 2 l l First known as the Lucky Thirteen, the Men's Luncheon Club, consisting of thirteen wide awake students and two faculty members, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Bartlett, was started in the fall of 1932. In line with its aim, the Men's Luncheon Club, now as then, has always taken a leading part in the sponsoring and the promotion of our school's activities. Thirty-eight WHHlEH,S Luncheon liluh f The Womens Luncheon Club is a service club devoted to furthering school activities. It consists of thirteen regular members and two honorary members-the president of the Associated Women Students and the president of the Women's Athletic Association. This year the sponsor of the club has been Mrs. Patty Resler, who has proved to be an enthusiastic and capable advisor. This club has had a full year and has helped to make school events more enjoyable. The beautiful decorations at the jan Garber-Thanksgiving Day Dance, which transformed the gymnasium with a canopy of blue sky and silver stars, were designed and made by the members of the W.L.C. At Christmas time, the club provided a needy family with a Christmas dinner. The members sold candy at athletic events to pay for their club pins. On March 25, the W.L.C. sponsored a Farm Day, during which typical farmer's clothing was worn to classes. In the evening, a barn dance with old-fashioned dances and a Hoor show was held. Prizes were awarded in the beard-growing contest, which many men had entered. Officers of the W.L.C. in the fall semester were Mary Margaret Price, president, Edwinna Foster, vice-president, and Jeanne Adams, secretary-treasurer. In the spring semester Sylvia Utman was president, jean Laughlin, vice-president, Annette Pefley, secretary, and Edwinna Foster, treasurer. Under the leadership of these officers, the W.L.C. has cooperated with other campus organizations in furthering social events of the year. Stmzriiug : Owen, Ward . 5'ealvzl.'

Fo? QW A growing interest and appreciation led to the formation of the Forestry Club in 1934. This group serves as a medium by which those interested in forestry may become better acquainted with each other and with this field of study. Nineteen members were in the organization this year. The only qualifications required are interest and enthusiasm in Forestry. The officers for the fall semester were Melvin Badger, president g Gasper Valena, vice-presidentg and Daniel Dotta, secretary. james Tryner was president in the spring, Ernest Comalli, vice-president, and Daniel Dotta secretary-treasurer. In the fall, a four-day trip to Yosemite National Park was enjoyed by thirteen of the members. Later in the same semester, a joint social meeting with the Engineer's Club was held. The program consisted of moving pictures on the subject of testing airplanes, a game of basketball between players of the two clubs, and refreshments. Each year for the past four years, the Forestry Club has planted a tree on the campus in memory of the birthday of Luther Burbank. This year, besides the ceremony, an assembly was given March 7, Luther Burbank's birthday. Plans are being made to place a commemorative plaque by each tree. The members closed their activities for the year with a trip to the Union Lumber Company at Fort Bragg. Much interest was shown in the Forestry Club, and its activities proved its value as an outstanding organ- ization, scientifically and socially, in the life of the college. ce-'fy ll Increasing interest in forestry as a profession stimulated the formation of the Forestry Club in 1935. Under the line guidance of Mr. Baker, the Forestry Club, which is open to all forestry and botany majors, has contributed greatly to the study and training of all its members, with its field trips, discussions, lectures, and other activities. Forty Enqinanrs llluh J Six years ago the Engineers Club was organized to bring together students interested in engineering. This year found twenty-five men taking part in the club's activities. In the fall, Allen Baldwin was president, Malcolm Petersen, vice-president, and Donald Gray was secretary-treasurer, Under the leadership of these oiiicers, the freshmen engineers were initiated into the club at a social held soon after school opened. Later in the fall, a trip was made to the P. G. and E. Company's Station A in San Francisco and to the Stearman-Hammond Airplane Company. In December, the Engineers and the Forestry Club enjoyed their annual social evening of entertainment, athletic contests, and refreshments. The spring semester found Robert Crane, Raymond Wlmitinore, and Donald Gray as ofiicers of the club. The spring excursion was to the P. G. and E. Company's lakes and power house at Desabla. There the members became familiar with the functions of the power unit and enjoyed fishing and hiking. A large social was held early in the spring with alumni engineers as guests. A tradition, started in 1932 by the Engineers Club to commemorate the removal of the Santa Rosa junior College to its own campus, was con- tinued this year when the seventh stone was laid in the main walk in front of the Administration Building. It is the hope of the Engineers Club that this tradition will be continued by the future engineering students and that they, too, will enjoy being members of this organization.

E43-4 The French Club was organized to further interest in French customs, art, literature, history, and to help students speak French more fluently. Meetings were held on the third Monday of each month at the home of Mrs. Yates, the sponsor. In order to be a member of this club, a student must have a speaking knowledge of French as the meetings are con- ducted in the French language. The programs presented at the meetings were widely diversined. All the members contributed to these pro- grams. French games were one of the most interesting diversions. An original play was given at one of the meetings. The ofhcers for the fall semester were Bill Campbell, president, Edwinna Foster, vice- presidentg Lilian Macler, secretary-treasurerg and Carl Boehle, pro- gram chairman. The officers for the spring semester were president, Jewell Hindsg vice-president, Jeanne Adams, and secretary-treasurer, Ruth Owen. The group had a variety of activities which increased the interest of the members in the club. Last November, a pot-luck supper was held at the home of Mrs. Yates after which the members attended the school play, Dulcy. On Friday, April 22, the members enjoyed L'Abbe Constantine at Andre Ferrier's French Theatre in San Fran- cisco atter a dinner party at Girard's. The regular monthly meetings and social gatherings of the club have given the students opportunity to understand plays and songs in the French language and to appreciate the French culture. , AWB are ll The French Club has the distinction of being at the same time one of the oldest and one of the youngest of our school organizations, having been started in 1920, discontinued the following year, and then reorganized in the fall of 1936. Since that time, the club has progressed steadily under the generous and expert guidance of Mrs. Yates, French instructor. Forly-1 wo ' German liluh wiv The German Club is one of the most informal of the organizations on the campus. This group has no dues and no officers, but it has proved itself to be vital in school activities as well as enjoyable to its members. In the past year, the growth in membership, and the interest and enthusiasm shown have helped to accomplish the objective of the club: to further the use of German, to create a more friendly feeling among the German students, and to encourage the appreciation of German culture. During the fall semester, meetings were held at which games were played and typical German songs were sung. just before the Christmas vacation, the members enjoyed a Christmas party held in the library. The Christmas decorations were suggestive of Germany. A Christmas tree, laden in the true German fashion, with a gift for everyone, was the highlight of the evening. A play, The Birth of jesus was given by the members. Short talks about Christmas in Germany, moving pictures, and refreshments completed the evening's entertainment. In the spring, the club continued its round of activity by sponsoring an assembly at which moving pictures of Germany were shown. Following its success of the previous year, the club again had a booth in the Kollege Kampus Karnival. The year's activities were enjoyed by all, and the members are looking forward to the coming year when they will again gather at their informal meetings Burk Row: Anderson, Koch Barrett, Peoples, Thompson Zimmerman, Colwell, Berner Middle Raw: Blakesley, Rior cl.

The member- ship for the second year was augmented by associate members from the Honor Roll of the Commercial Department. Olhcers for the fall semester were president, Edwinna Foster, vice-president, Annette Pefleyg and sec- retary-treasurer, Jeanne Adams, and in the spring semester, president, Harvey Browning, vice-president, Lois Waddell, and secretary-treasurer, julia Turcatti. Among the social activities of the society for the year were a Hallowe'en party given in honor of the new members, a dessert supper at the home of Dean and Mrs. Clark on November 51, and an April Fools' Day Party in the spring semester. The olhcers of Theta Chapter assisted Mrs. Walker, who is President of the Council of State Advisors, in the installing of Psi Chapter in the state organization at Placer junior College on February 25, and Omega Chapter at San Francisco junior Col- lege on April 28, at which meeting Dr. Robert Sibley of the University of California addressed the San Francisco junior College Student Body. Fourteen delegates of Theta Chapter attended the eighth annual spring conference in Pasadena on March 18. At that time Dr. Millikan spoke t0 the convention on The Products of Scholarship. 'sf ll The Scholarship Society was first organized in 1927 as a member of the California Federation of Junior College Honor Societies. The original eight members more than doubled each succeeding year, until in April, 1932, the Scholarship Society became the Theta Chapter of the Alpha Gam- ma Sigma and has gone on to set a standard for other junior colleges. Forty-four ll Cappella Chair X The membership of the A Cappella Choir has increased every year. Twenty-nine students were singing with this group in 19345 forty tal- ented men and women were members in this year, 1938. These forty music enthusiasts, under the direction of Neil M. Daniels, have continued to bring enviable recognition to the junior college by the excellence of their performances. This year's appearances included several broadcasts over the local radio station, thereby giving the members valuable ex- perience in radio broadcasting. At Christmas time, the choir took part in the community celebration by singing at the lighting of the Luther Burbank Christmas Tree in the Burbank Gardens. The choir sang several selections in true holiday spirit at the Annual Christmas Festival. At that time, a cathedral setting and the lighted candles carried by the singers as they filed into the hall added a great deal to the impressive- ness of the choir music. The selections presented by the choir in its ap- pearances have been chosen because they were especially written for unac- companied choirs and because they represented famous periods in choral literature-the sixteenth century, the Viennese school, the nineteenth century, and the contemporary compositions. The junior college students have been proud of their A Cappella Choir this past year and were happy to have this group represent them at the Northern California junior Col- lege Association Choral Festival held on May 2, at San jose State College.

Santa Rosa junior College is one of the few junior colleges in the state which has a marching band. Our band has been unusually active at school events and has brought wide recognition to the junior college and to its director, Robert Cantu. Each football game saw the band display new and interesting marching maneuvers and formations. The commanding feature of their performances was the electrical display using neon lights. The outstanding work of the band was due to splendid coopera- tion of the members under the leadership of Harvey Browning, drum major. In addition to playing for home football and basketball games and rally assemblies, the band took part in the annual Santa Rosa Chamber of Commerce Goodwill Tour. The first jaysee Symphony Band was organized for booster trips back in 1923, and consisted of but five pieces. However, progress was rapid, the orchestra growing to eight pieces the following year, and increasing at a steady rate, until now, under Mr. Cantu's direction, our marching band has been built up into one of Santa Rosa's outstanding attractions. Forty-.rix Drama I Two scenes from Dulcy : I-lcsseltinc, Basford, Richard- sun, Miller, Bell, Moran, McEwen, Derrng, Gardner, Much, Lance. The past year has been a busy one for the Dramatics Department. There were not only two major productions presented this year, but several short plays which gave experience to the players and furthered public interest in local college dramatics. Dulcy, a three-act comedy, was given for the Sonoma County Teachers' Institute and general public. This play was heartily received by the audience for the plot was an excellent one, and the players successfully portrayed their parts bringing out all the humor of the plot. A more serious play was given in the spring. On May 22 at the second annual Under the Oaks program, the Dramatics Department presented Yellow jack to an enthusiastic audience. 54? dew x Dramatics have always held an important place in our college life. Since the early days of our junior colleges existence-even when the student body was less than a tenth of its present size-the dramatic classes have put on performances ranging from Shakespeare to modern one-act and three-act plays that have been financial and artistic successes.

Dubbed Fremont University , the old structure with its rickety stairs and leaky root housed the struggling junior college student body for one year. The story of the growth and struggle of the junior college also had its hum- orous side, Mr. I-Iaentjens used to arrive early in the morning to steal chairs from Mrs. Waters' room for his math classes. In winter, pots, buckets, and pans had to be set around on the upstairs floor to catch the water. It was, however, the Hrst structure used exclusively for Santa Rosa junior College classes. Q X l refs The two temporary gymnasium buildings which consisted of lockers and N shower equipment only, were replaced in April of 1935 by a new earth-quake T V proof gymnasium dedicated by the students as Tauzer Gymnasium in honor of Pres. Tauzer of the Board of Trustees. The floor is composed of specially laid maple string flooring which greatly minimizes the shock to the players.

RICHARD BLEWETT CLARENCE SYPHER Richard Blewett came to Santa Rosa junior College in 1928, immediately after graduating from the University of California. Wliile enrolled in college Dick majored in Physical Education and played varsity football four years under Andy Smith. During Blewett's athletic reign the local college has built itself one of the finest athletic plants in California. Clarence Cook Sypher, a graduate of Stanford University, where he was picked on their all-time baseball nine, came to the local institution in 1936. After graduation from college, Sypher played professional base- ball with the Mission Reds and Hollywood Stars in the Pacific Coast League. Before coming to Santa Rosa he coached at Mountain View High. 'if Wu?

At times displaying mediocre play, then turning around and playing sen- sationally, the local squad, which was entered in the B conference for the first year, defeated Placer 6-Og Salinas 14-Og and lost to Marin 7-6g and Menlo 14-7. Opening the season against the Miners from Placer, the Cubs won out in a drab game when Bat Battaglia scored on a wide sweep from the seven yard line just before the end of the first half. Hard luck and a capacity crowd watched the Bear Cubs when they met the Marin Mariners the following week. X 54? X l Football was mainly a diversion at the junior college lifteen years ago. X u Inadequate turnouts would not permit our entrance into the Pacific Coast V Conference until 1924, when the largest number of players, twenty, turned out. From 1923, when we played two games, until 1927, the present head of the Board of Trustees, Clarence J. Tauzer, coached the team. Fifly-one Fnuthall 6' 0 Q? Bark Row: flamano, Fellers, Mastin.

I gas Battaglia again scored the initial touchdown in the hrst quarter in an off-tackle slant from the two yard line. From this point the game see- sawed back and forth, until with live minutes left to play, Barbour, Marin quarterback, intercepted a short pass and ambled 75 yards to the locals' 5 yard line, where he was tackled by Battaglia. From here the ball was plunged over on third down. Johnny Allen, star flank- rnan from Marin, coolly stepped back and converted the extra point that gave Marin victory. Overconfidence and bad play cost the Cubs their next game against the Menlo Oaks. Trouble started when Bud Finger, visiting halfback, opened the scoring when he ran the opening kickoff back 80 yards to a touchdown. The locals had many chances to score in the ensuing quarter, but it was again Finger who on an off-tackle slant went 22 yards to a second touchdown. Both points after touchdowns were converted by Kulis. However, in the closing minutes of the first half, the Cubs finally showed their full power and took command of the situation. ee l J Practice was held in the old Recreation Park. Other coaches to shape Bear Cub teams were Ed Butts, former Chico State player, and Bud Toscani, a St. Mary's all-American. In 1927 we placed a man, George Crotts, on the all-state junior college team and copped the season by defeating Marin twice. We broke into the win column again the following year at Marin's expense. Fiflyfzuo Fnnlhall 4 I IL . l 14 Taking the ball on the kickoff play, the locals scored on five consecu- tive plays. Rex Daniels converted the extra point which marked the first conversion after a touchdown that the Cubs had made to that time. Although Santa Rosa spent most of the second half in Menlo territory, the team failed to penetrate deeper than the Oaks' 30 yard line. The final game of the year was against Salinas on Armistice Day. Most of the game was evenly fought, although the Cubs threatened to score a number of times. However, the accurate kicking of Tom judge, Salinas back, kept Santa Rosa from crossing over into pay dirt. In the last quarter, however, the locals began to roll, A pass from Randall to Daubin was good for 14 yards and the first touchdown. Spurred on by the seven points, the Cubs began to move immediately after the kickoff by driving down to the Salinas 25 yard line, from where Walt Kinney crashed into the open for a touchdown. Daniels converted for both points after touchdown. Although Santa Rosa ended the season strong, they finished the conference race in third place, being edged out by Placer Jaysee for second. Arrian .rbol.' Baumeister shoots a long one. We lost the majority of the remaining contests. In 1929, we played and won the first intersectional game in conference history with Weber College, of Ogden, Utah. With the completion of' Bailey Field and installation of a 84,000 lighting system, winning teams have been fielded by the Bear Cubs. rvffwm ww! ll Basketball Buzzini Petersen Johnson Olsen Bunyan Caldwell Mastin M.

Breaking of the jinx came in the final conference game of the season when the Cub quintet defeated the Mariners by a 44-43 score after losing the first game two nights previous by a lop-sided 36-19 count. In the first double bill of the season the Cubs split with Coach jack Gard- ner's Modesto Pirates by dropping the first game 34-24 and winning the second on a forfeit. The following week against San Mateo the locals again split by losing the first game 38 32 and coppmg the second 34 27. X A I X I X 71? j Q A Poor facilities caused weak basketball teams at hrst, as is proved by a defeat recorded against us by Geyserville, in 1923. With the addition of Tauzer as coach the following year, the team won seven of twelve games, but faltered in 1925 because of inexperienced material. A lightweight team was established in 1926, when the varsity ended in the first division. Fifty-four Basketball Bfzrla Raw: Coach Blcwett, Petersen. Graham. Bunyan. Trigeim.

Traveling to San Francisco the next week, Santa Rosa was upset by Lee Eisan's squad in the first game by a score of 40-35. Two nights later, however, the Cubs gained their revenge when they dumped the Rams on the local hardwood by a 41-39 count. During the season's play in conference competition, Santa Rosa won 6 games and lost four. Although the local squad was small in stature, they more than made up for this handicap in speed. George Bogdonofl, center, led the locals in scoring. Veterans who played their last game are: Graham, Pedersen, Bunyan, Tedford, Badger. ESS' W No outstanding teams were fielded during the following three years, but a team which won 14 games represented us in 1951.

Winning the first undisputed championship in the history of the jaysee, the Rugby squad did themselves proud by winning five games and losing one. Opening the season against the Cal Frosh, the locals won out by a 10-O score. Against Menlo the next week the final count was 14-0. Keeping on with their winning ways, Santa Rosa defeated Stanford and Menlo during the next two weeks by scores of 6-0 and 14-3 respectively. Before the last game of the year, which the ruggers lost to Cal Frosh, in a return game, 16-0, Stanford forfeited their game because of lack of players. Credit is due Cook Sypher and Dr. Whitaker, who coached and also played, thus contributing to the team's success. Introduced in 1935 by Dr. Howard T. Wheeler, language instructor, rugby quickly attracted the attention of athletes who play for the fun of the game alone. Coach Wheeler's teams for the first two years enjoyed unusual success until 1937, when the game was abandoned. Reorganization followed this year with the added help of Coach Cook Sypher and Dr. Whitaker. Fifly-rix TEIllllS Mr. Feliz, XV. Berner, Stevenson, jenkins, Hill, lflelberg, R.

Several practice matches were played in the fall semester with various high schools, and in the spring semester the tennis team, consisting of Stanley Jenkins, Waldie Berner, Bob Berner, Herbert Stevenson, Tom Helberg, and Bill Hill, with George Cook as manager and George C. Feliz as coach, had a busy season, playing conference matches with Salinas C., Menlo 1. C., Marin DI. C., and Placer J. C. Although the Santa Rosa team came out on the short end in these matches, the group gained valuable experi- ience which will enable them to make a better showing next year. Organized in 1928, the junior college tennis team won two meets that year, several practice games the following year, and culminated in 1950 by taking a third place and a trophy in the Marin invitational tournament held at Berkeley. Discontinued for two years, it was reinaugurated under coach Dick Blewett in 1932, when a mounting interest in the game showed itself.

MV x With the purpose of creating a greater interest in sports and a friendly feeling among junior College co-eds, the Women's Athletic Association sponsored many social activities this year besides forming the regular hockey, volleyball, basketball, and baseball interclass teams. These activities consisted of a brawl dinner, two banquets, several playdays, and attendance at the joint A,W.S. and W.A.A. convention at Chico. Lois Boerstler served as president of the Association for two terms. Other fall semester oiiicers were Norma Ward, vice-president, and jean Laughlin, secretary. Assisting Miss Boerstler during the spring term were Cora Blakesley, vice-president, and Betty Daut, secretary. 1 x w iv Prior to the spring of 1950, when it was organized, the XY!omen's Athletic Association operated as a department of the Associated Wonien Students and was instrumental in sponsoring intra-mural games and social events among the women. A Play Day, held in order to acquaint high school girls with the junior college, is one of its most important annual social events. S ixl y Womens Basketball Lal! lv rigbl: Garrison, Barr, Darn.

With the completion of the high school building on Mendocino Avenue, in 1925, all the junior college was eager to move into the new structureg but after using the high school equipment and facilities for four years, students began to regret the change, and to yearn for the independence of old Fremont University. Some even dreamed of a new edince. Finally, in 1929, a union district with Sebastopol was formed and a board of trustees of the Santa Rosa-Sebastopol Union junior College was created. And in December of 1950, the dream of all Santa Rosa junior College students since 1918 finally came into realization with the breaking of the ground for the present Administration Building. f-'-' ?' AW Increased enrollment and the necessary creation of courses in domestic science and commercial subjects brought about the completion of another new unit on the junior College campus. Started in March of 1936 it was not completed until December of the same year. The low-rambling style architecture of all the buildings blends with the large spreading oaks.

PATRINS FROM A 1918 DIARY September, 1918--Santa Rosa junior College opens its doors for the Hrst time, with eleven enrolled. january 20, 1919-junior College started after Christmas vacation. Ithink this was at the time of the bad flu epidemic and only we j.C. students went to school. We were forced to wear flu masks going to and from school, but in classes and in study hall fwhich was the old library for usj we were allowed to go unmasked. This continued for about ten days before high school started. March 21, 1919-End of the term. Circus day at school. Made 3300. The junior college group had a part in this. 1949 League of Nations play. Girls were in costumes which represented different countries. March 24, 1919-First day of the new term. May 7, 1919-The junior college class had picture taken for the Echo Since records were destroyed with the burning of the build- ing in 1951, and almost no material is available, the col- lege recognizes the special value of the diary notes and of the snap sent by Eloise W Robbins Cameron.

I think the enrollment then was about 26. They nearly worked us to death in this first year and a half of junior college-our assign- ments were simply terriiic--they so feared we would not be up to the University of Cali- fornia calibre. w i J Frank Fenton, 1921, a Stanford Ph.D., is now chairman of the Department of English, San Francisco State College, and writes for literary magazines. Philip Lewis, former Patrin editor and contributor to the literary life of the college, is an oil executive in Buenos Aires. Letters to local friends tell of varied experiences and attest to his continued literary skill. Sixty-six AN ACCOMPANIMENT Poet, when you begin to sing, Sing softly, sing your sweetest tone, Hear my soft music following. My simpler melody will bring Harmonies you have not known, Poet, when you begin to sing. When your most vivid notes would ring Like bells through silver mist in-blown, -Hear my soft music following. And if your song would have echoing After its cadences have flown, Poet, when you begin to sing, Listen a while for the airs that wing, Like shy birds singing after your own, -Hear my soft music following! For singing is sometimes a sorry thing When the song is young, and the singer alone, Poet, when you begin to sing, Hear my soft music following. -Mary Temple From 1929 Patrin SCIENCE, BY A LAYMAN Since all the world, with you and me included, Was fgeologically speakingj , once extruded From molten magma, cleverly suspended By several scientists fsince apprehendedj, We can, with all assurance, take for granted That slopes that seem to slant are doubtless slanted. Remembering that space, as seen by science, Describes a curve, in absolute defiance Of our space-sodden brains, if fact, its bending Becomes a sphere, beginning at its ending, We can, of course, accepting this conclusion, Remain the same as ever,-in confusion. -Vernon Peck From 1936 First the Blade worked on the Literary Review and in publicity writing on the Daily Cal, is now secretary to the Publicity Director of the Federal Land Bank in Oakland.

The little magazine agent had gone, trip- ping her happy way out of the bank, and the above mentioned John Stevens, receipt in hand, stood dejectedly behind his teller's cage iron grilled window, which, effective as it might be against gunmen, offered no immunity against pretty magazine solicitor- ettes. As we have said, the little magazine agent had gone, and with her departure, john's grinning cage mate came crawling out from under the counter--for he had a quick eye and a great deal of experience, and upon observing the approach of the Home Garden girl several minutes before, had quietly dropped out of sight. john looked down at him and grinned. Pete, he laughed, what a lot of money we'd save if we couldn't read! Now, at this point we must mention that Pete had two brothers in the advertising business, from which it will be apparent that he came from an imaginative family. And so it was that at his friend's remark, Pete as- sumed an expression first thoughtful, then inspired. john, he exclaimed, we'll do it! When a magazine agent comes around, why, we'll simply tell her that we don't know how to read. The other shook his head. No good. How could we be working here at the bank if we couldn't read? XX Nothing to it. This is the foreign ex- change department, isn't it? Well, when a book agent comes around, we'll tell her that we handle the bank's correspondence with China: and although we speak English, we read and write only Chinese. How's that? Still no good. How could we speak Eng- lish and read and write only Chinese? Oh, that part of it's easy. We'll just ex- plain that we were born in China, and our parents, who were American missionaries working among the heathen, died when we were only about seven years old, leaving us stranded. Well, we were taken in and edu- cated by the kind-hearted priests of the Temple of Chow. Get it? And so, while we speak English, learned from our parents, all we read and write is Chinese. Romantic stuff, you know- American orphans raised by heathen priests, temple gardens, idols, gongs, gold tablets, and all the rest. And then, later this bank acquired big tea interests over there and we came to America to handle their Chinese correspondence. How's that? But john looked doubtful. It'll be easy! Pete assured him. Why, I almost feel ashamed of myself already, fool- ing the poor girls like that. They won't . . He stopped short and clutched john's arm. Look! he whispered, pointing across the bank lobby. There's another one, over work- ing on Ben. Look! She's got him cornered! He's fighting hard! He's weakening-he's going-going-gone! She's signing him up. Quick work. That girl certainly . . . -john! She's looking over here-john- But once a day was enough. Out through the back of the bank cage shot john Stevens, out and around, past bookkeepers and steno- graphers, over to the other side of the bank f' Edwin Cnstagnu, 1950 Patrin editor, who majored at U. C. in the English Department, also served as a reader there. After a year in the School of Librarianship, he was appointed head of the Ukiah Library.

And there he stood, watching and grinning. Pete looked for his absconded fellow- worker. For an instant he wavered, and then it was too late. The girl swung up to the window. Pete, now quite confident-for was he not pre- pared ?-came forward. The girl opened Ere. Pete listened attentively. And then, spreading his hands pathetically, he launched into the story of the forgotten orphans: the story of the Temple of Chow, and the gongs, and the jade idols, and the gold tablets . . . john watched the pantomime, grinning. And then-his smile faded- For as the girl listened, a strange look had come over her face-a look of fierce joy, and then almost of ferocity. Pete's story wavered, and stopped. Crouching half over the counter, the girl clutched his arm and started to speak, low and Hercely. One minute. Two minutes. Three minutes. And over Pete's whitening face there crept a look of horror. A chill shot up john's back. The girl- her face was dark, her hair straight and black, and her eyes-it may have been the emerald cage lights-but her eyes, narrowed, glinted green! Green! The green eyes of a woman of Manchuria! The ferocity of her eyes! The horror that blanched Pete's face! What occult terror, what secret of the East had they stumbled af ll 1 7 l A l Z54 'iq ' 4 l x ,, Hu, v A x ' i 0' i 'I li li J I ' X f 1 K N W I I 1 all fl . . - ' '.f!':,iT'Q za..'..i'f.' . . ,fi ,' '-2'-.1-.:' If ' Y, fi. 7 'Wife-s.axfEfQliagailiegggwgsf 'l iii.'Jil-f:2,5:f-.'?f7i f':' f' 4. -. .-151-eeefrsvi-2.t'afHr ' l efgyrufrfig pp . -sf 27' 'ff elim. -3 31.42, u In, Q' ' ' f x rl Wig a n: umxmk ' fi K, ..:Ys!:, J- -- ,HT ' if T' l . . l - g'l..llLiL.1..a , l A f 1 Z -mv 1- lm ' -. , ,f X., J , xr , M X. ll rlpffqg-D, Ne .6 tal!

Back john ran, bursting open the doors, crashing past staring clerks, back and around, gasping, into the fateful bank cage! But the girl was gone. And Pete, the look of horror in his eyes, just stood there, white and trembling, staring out into nothing. John clutched his friend's arm. Pete! he cried. Pete! What. . . Pete shuddered. I told her! he gasped. I told her of the Temple of Chow, of the priests, of temple bells, the idols, and of the gold tablets-and then- And then- And then-and then-she sold me the Works of Confucius, two hundred and thirty volumes-written in Chinese ! -Harold Jacobs 55?-' Herbert Brandon, '24, was one of the county's most gifted writers of prose.

Sixty-nine F549 W MIST ON THE MOON There's a mist on the full moon that's shining on the hillside, Throwing shadows over a grey-green glade, And by its side a white feathery cloud watches us write in our book of life. Barely audible above the happy laughing of the brook is the hum of a car climbing the hill above us. There's a square little village lar below sleeping under its red and yellow lights, Dew weights down the grass and the slumbering buttercups at our feet, And you and I under this tree, looking at the golden light above, are trying to solve the mysteries of eternity. No wonder there's a mist on the face of the moon! -Idell Keesling ROADS QAward at Annual Poets' Dinner, Oaklandj I like the dusty country roads, On each side trees of gray, The deep, dust-covered fields of grain Where yellowed grass-spears sway. The man-made clouds of heavy dust Paint roads in pastel grays . . . Too many bright green hours can hurt, I like some dusty days. -Cora Blakesley ZS af Francis Hatch, 1927 Patrin editor, went so far in the field of literature as to be an instructor at Stanford University and to work toward a doctor's degree. He then shifted to medicine and is now doing his interne work in San Francisco. Doris Drury achieved recognition in journalism here and at Stanford, and is writing publicity for the 1939 San Francisco Exposition.

As another year of college association draws to a close, the staff of the 1938 Patrin present this volume with a hope that we have caught something on these pages which will help you to recall your experiences while a student in Santa Rosa Junior College. If we have attained success, it was only possible with the untiring and unlimited aid of our advisors, Miss Genevieve Mott and Mrs. Anne Walker, to whom we are greatly indebted for their generous assistance and guidance in forming this book. All of the pictures, which form the heart of the book, were taken by Mr. Terence Ellsworth, except for the portrait sittings of the graduates and of the faculty, which were taken by Mr. Nelson. The Graphic Arts Engraving Co., represented by Mr. Harry Hahn, is responsible for the Hue quality half-tone reproductions used herein, and Mr. Ellsworth's sound technical knowledge of annual editing and his willing assistance have helped us to take full advantage of all the modern processes of college year book publishing. The printing was very capably handled by the Lexicon Press and the binding by Bushman and Risen. This word of thanks could hardly be called adequate without our expressing ap- preciation to the college secretarial staff, the faculty, and all who have so valuably contributed to this commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Santa Rosa junior College. -THE STAFF ., :md . 1 . ,,3Q 1 1 ,fn 1 f -gig l --'III .
