The Patrin 1947 Published by the Associated Students of the Santa Rosa Junior College Santa Rosa, California In Memoriam Fred McCarl Frmuis Linnell Foreword X WENTY YEARS OF PATRINS have left their mark at Santa Rosa Junior College. This anniversary issue is no exception in its recording of names, dates, and places of importance as a permanent record for pos- terity. Every possible school activity was included so as to touch on all aspects of campus life. Years from now it is the hope that graduates will sentimentally pick up their Patrins, thumb through the pages, and look back on their college days with mingled pride and joy. Yearbooks started on their course of tradition back in 1920 at the outset of dear old Jaycee. For seven editions it was called the Bear Cub in honor of the school mascot. In 1927 journalism students who organized the material for the book voted to change the name. Patrin was chosen as the best and most significant title. It means a Romany sign or token left along the road of time to preserve such events of importance that future travelers may encounter. In that way, memories of the classes of ' 47 and ' 48 will leave an everlasting imprint on these pages. Class- mates, school leaders, athletic teams and ambitious school projects will stand out in black and white for retrospective glances in the years to come.

' ■h - J.3pt ' SJ ' r A% President Bailey President ' s Message During the year 1946-47 we have attempted to meet the needs of all students and particularly of veterans. We have been restricted in our efforts to a considerable extent by our limited funds. We realize that our physical facilities and teaching force are inade- quate to meet the demand suddenly made upon us. Our plant as it stands at the present time has a capacity of about 1,000 students. Our total enrollment at this time is 1,416. As a result of this overcrowded condition it became necessary last fall and this spring to close many classes before registration was completed. We are, however, thinking and planning for next year, at which time we hope to have sufficient classroom space and a sufficiently large fa culty so that restricted registra- tion will no longer be necessary. We are receiving daily requests for registration permits for next fall. Many students applying for admission to the Santa Rosa Junior College are doing so from other states. I sincerely hope that every qualified person will be able to attend and will be unrestricted in his selection of courses. In conclusion I would like to express my appreciation of the fine spirit of cooperation of the student body. Conditions have been trying; but in spite of everything, your atti- tude has been splendid. We know that you want to get the best educational foundation possible, and we intend to do everything in our power to provide the faculty, buildings, and equipment necessary to attain that end.

[ • r 1 rr,,- 1 The Dean of Men Dear Editor: Last year, we predicted that our chief concern for the coming term would be the returned service man. We only guessed a half of it. He is here in force and we like it. The numbers in which he has returned certainly has challenged every facility we have, and to the very limit. Perhaps now it is fitting that we look into the record. What have these men done? First, there is present a wide divergence of previous training, but all returned men have found it necessary to limit their program for the first semester. Second, we have a larger percentage of extremely capable students than we have ever had. Again there is a group that we have never had before. These are the men who left high school for the service before graduation. Now they do not find high school to their liking and are attempting to remove high school deficiencies and secure a high school diploma as well as carry on a limited program on the purely college level. It is a pleasure to report that many of these men have already been successful in securing their high school diplomas by examination and are accumulating credit toward junior college graduation. The record further indicates that grades earned tend to be bunched at the upper and lower levels with relatively fewer grades in the middle register. We certainly are proud of our students and wish to be as encouraging as possible to those who are so patiently trying to make up for time lost and the disruptive effect of their entry into the armed forces. It is difficult to judge which had the more disastrous effect on student life, actual time spent in the service or anticipated entry. EDWIN KENT Dean of Men 12 r The Dean of Women Dear Editor: This postwar year on the campus has been a very pleasant one. Both faculty and students have enjoyed the return to normal. The faculty occasionally expressed the opinion that the current year was better than normal, in that our students were mature and travelled. They have brought enrichment to the classroom. Our social life was not neglected. A dozen dances were enjoyed and all were well attended. Concerts, plays, and sports added variety. And students remembered less fortunate students in war-torn countries by subscribing generously to the W.S.S.F. fund. The book records another busy year upon our campus.

Low Sophomores Although the Sophomore Class was smaller than the Freshman Class, it was well organized and accomplished a great deal. Among its many activities was the sponsoring of the Freshman Reception on September 27. The purpose of this dance was to get all the freshmen together and to acquaint them with each other and also with the upper- classmen. The dance served its purpose well and was considered one of the best dances of the year. Charles Magowan, Fall President Don Orr, Fall Vice-President A feu of out fdwoiii Soph men Lojv Sophomores Also on the list of activities for the Sophomore Class was the sponsorship of Brawl Day on November 28. On this day the upperclassmen took and gave their share of bruises and mud. The rivalry between the two classes was finally settled with both sides getting most unceremoniously dumped in the specially prepared mud puddle at the rear of the gymnasium. Following, or as part of the actual brawl, ensued the tug-of-war, which found first the frosh, then the sophomores wallowing in the aforementioned mud puddle.

' A .«tU ' . di r y J -i ' . c ►- h It looks ai if the giils about cqitai the wen here High Freshmen The Freshman Dance, held March 28, was among the most successful dances of the spring season. The dance was the social finale of Character Day, and many of the couples in attendance came exactly as they had been during the day. The theme of the dance was Saints and Sinners, and the large crowd followed this to perfection. The music was provided by the promising Barney Wilen orchestra to the delight of all. This dance, accredited by many to have been the outstanding event on the spring calendar, was sponsored and carried out by the Frosh. }caii Dc tnicl, Fall Presidenf Harold Gls(jt7, Sprin, Prc iihtit ' vw. : os: ar.;. A few of those uho bate ueatbcrcd a Ui in High Freshmen The freshmen, under the leadership of Ole Olson in the spring and Dusty Des- truel in the fall, were active in many of the activities at the Junior College and also pro- moted the annual freshman dance. Among other things, they organized the rooting sec- tions for coordinated cheering at the football and basketball games, cooperated in selling rooters ' hats and pennants and helped shape the many school policies by their active par- ticipation in the Executive Council. This year ' s Freshman Class should and will go down in history as one of the most industrious and active in Junior College annals.

For that reason, the usual freshman hazing given the frosh on Brawl Day was practically non-existent. The fall beginning classes take the brunt of the burden in fighting their way in and out of the mud hole as two freshmen are shown in the picture below. Theirs will be to build up the school spirit and traditions and in the ensuing months take over the reins of the student government. As time flies new names and faces will be prominent in the esteemed positions of Jaycee. Ji, ; r. .t.r, spring Vicc-P ' r.,.l..

They joined clubs, tried their skill as athletes, did special work on the freshman dance this spring and promoted the general welfare and good will of the school. This is the way the future leaders of the school are made. Hard work in studies and a progressive attitude toward the boosting of the school all stamp their mark on the leaders of tomorrow and a polished college graduate.

Executive Council Outside of a nodding acquaintance with the many Student Body officers and club representatives, few students have a real knowledge of the functions of the Executive Council. The guiding light of that group is The Constitution of The Associated Students of Santa Rosa Junior College. The appointive powers of the Council make the task of the fall officers an exceedingly difficult one. Under that category decisions must be made such as naming the Graduate Manager, Co-op Manager, Oak Leaf Editor, Athletic Manager, Yell Leaders, Patrin Editor, Historian, and Publicity Department head. President Donald Dunbar began his term by trying to promote a greater school spirit. More and better activities were sanctioned and interest stimulated in the Executive Council meetings. As Jaycee soared on to newer and greater heights, Kenneth Thollaug succeeded Dunbar to carry on a job well started. Lejl: Stiuiciil BnJy Prai- lient Don Dunbar. Right: M. N.ckols.

Executive Council After one of the most extensive and thorough campaigns ever put on at the college, Kenneth Thollaug was promoted to the top position of the Student Body. Under his regime, interest reached the highest point ever attained in the Monday afternoon council meetings. Dormant student groups were picked to pieces, and in some cases, their charters revoked for failure to meet their responsibilities. Committees were appointed for the betterment of the school by looking into traditions and making suggestions for their revision to suit the new year. Arguments frequently flared, and motions rejected or passed by a majority of one were not uncommon. So it went, the passing parade of student officers. They strove to better the school, live up to their promises and make an impression that will last through the years as future presidents and officers take over the reins of student government.

During the past two semesters members succeeded in this objective by participating in such events as the Freshman receptions, Mothers ' teas, serving for Home- coming Day, and the Spring Formal dance. They also presented the Girls ' Jinx and a mixed skating party. Fall Semester Offieers President, Edith Trussell; Vice-President, Eileen Puccioni; Secretary, Barbara Harvey; Treasurer, Irene Nakano.

Women s Luncheon Club In the fall semester the Women ' s Luncheon Club sold cokes at several of the school dances, had gingerbread sales, and sponsored the Homecoming Dance with the Men ' s Luncheon Club. Jackie Tanner presided during the fall semester, while the offices of vice-president and secretary were filled by Dorothy Buck and Vera Swanets, respectively. The spring activities, under the direction of Joanne Harris, president; Shirlee LeBaron, vice-president; and Dorothy Buck, secretary, included sponsoring one dance, selling cokes at other dances, and taking a trip to San Francisco. Council representatives for the fall and spring semes- ters were Marilyn Buck and Shirlee LeBaron, respectively. The club ' s purpose is to co-operate with the Student Body in all its activities and to create an interest among the women students in campus affairs. The club is composed of thirteen members who are voted in semi-annually by the older members. Mrs. Su- zanne Haffey, assistant librarian, is the club adviser and ex-olficio member. The girls get together once weekly in the co-op lunch room for their meetings and social get-togethers. The members are chosen to represent every group in the college.

C. campus ' male students comprise the Men ' s Luncheon Club. The activities performed this past year have helped greatly to inject spirit into other members of the student body. The club members, made up of Sophomores, represent all other male students on the campus. Originally named the Lucky Thirteen Club when the organization was first formed, members changed it shortly afterwards, but the thirteen members were still kept. In choosing replacements for members graduated or dropped out of school, the clubmen tried to select candidates representing every element in the school. In this manner a general over-all view can be obtained on campus conditions and the MLC boys can act accord- ingly to correct any situations. This spring semester the boys held, in collaboration with the W.L.C., a dance. Previous to this event they had a dinner (deluxe). The dance served its purpose, which was to collect funds for the improvement of the club. Officers of the club were Don Dunbar, Darrell Nor- berry, and Gorden Gunderson. 47 The officers go to the dogs!! Bjck Rou: J. House, S. W ' VJ . P. Goerl. Front Rou : V. Youtig, B. Harvey. Vitae Lampada Vita: Lampada is the Junior College writing club. During the fall semester bi-weekly meetings were held at which members read original manuscripts for criticism and talked about subjects of general interest to club members. Some of the meetings were held on the campus, others at private homes. In the course of the spring semester, the club published Fint Leaii ' S, a magazine com- posed of writings by the students of the college. Several members attended the annual poet ' s banquet at Hotel Claremont in Berkeley. Club officers for the fall semester were: President, James Lufkin; secretary, Elaine Alls- paugh; council representative, Verna Young. During the spring term Verna Young was president; Barbara Harvey, secretary; and Dorothy Neuman, council representative. . Liifkiii, P. Goerl, E. MhjHuiiih, S. U:iru-ii. ]. VnTichi. S.

Students who obtain the required two-point average and who sign for membership may join the society. However, to remain members they must mamtam this average of scholastic standing. Members of the A.G.S. at Santa Rosa Junior College have been very active in student affairs. Last semester they sponsored a dance at the Santa Rosa Hotel. Representatives were also sent to Visalia to attend the Junior College Student Government Conference. During this conference, they discussed the problems of unity in formation of a state unit of the in- dividual junior college chapters. This section also revised laws and made amendments to the state A.G.S. constitution. Next year the members plan to send representatives to the San Francisco College Con- ference.

During the fall term the members worked on the club ' s constitution and corrected any flaws in the charter. This enabled the members to become active m student affairs and send a representative to the Executive Council. Guest speakers were invited to relate their experiences in Pan-American countries to the group. Mrs. Verne Godkin and Mr. Norman Van Bebber held the students ' interest during their talks at two of the club ' s meetings. Spanish songs, games, and moving pictures were shown to the members. In the spring, when new members were introduced, the club held an initiation dinner at Rancho Mexicalli. They corresponded with Hispanic-American students and were shown films on topics of current interest in Hispanic-America. Officers of the fall and spring terms respectively were: Gunnar Gunheim, presi- dent; Marilyn Bishop, vice-president; Helen Tarro, secretary-treasurer. Ed Fanucchi, president; Marilyn Blum, vice-president; Anne Bertalone, secretary- treasurer; John Knox, Executive Council representative. Left to right: f. Wntsoii. R. Tschacbe, L. Nielsen. M. Vance.

Board of Direc- tors. % Shamrock Club Considering the life span of some of the larger groups on the campus, the Sham- rock Club is a comparatively new group. Its organization came about in a desire to unite the men of Irish descent into a social body. It became so active in the ensuing weeks that dozens of other students who could not meet the membership requir- ments clamored to be admitted. Then the constitution was revised, allowing any and all to jom, and a new social club was born. The 1946-47 school year proved to be a big one for the smaller number of active members. When school spirit was at one of its low ebbs and dance sponsors were scarce for post-football game affairs, the club took on one of the events on four days ' notice. The annual St. Patrick ' s Day Dance proved to be one of the better affairs on the school calendar. Novel decorations and entertainment greeted the students on every hand. Character Day found the club in charge of the program of the day in the audi- torium. New talent was introduced to the Jaycee in the form of some public spirited Santa Rosa businessmen which had all the earmarks of a professional performance. A bridge tournament and numerous beach parties were a few of the minor activities enjoyed by the membership. Since the begmning of the new semester, meetings were held in the co-op lunchroom. R. H. Neitzel took over the sponsorship of the club at that time and proved most willing and co-operative. Club members hope that the fall semester will bring on bigger and better things in the line of school events. 41 4 d  rf R. Koiay, R. Rttn scy, R. Moinhoisc, f, Ramsey, A. Ducisoji. B. Wilson. B.

Maythur Society The object of the Maythur Society is to do good for the Student Body as a whole, to give impetus to all movements which have the interest of the school, to refrain from indul- gence in activities which are against the high standing of the college, and to aid at all times the motives of other college organizations which are carrying their share of the responsibilities and obligations of student life. A masquerade dance was sponsored March 7 which turned out to be quite a success. The club held an annual Maythur Holiday in the spring of the year at which all members participated in gala activities. Membership is open to all Associated Students wishing to join. Applications are made to the chairman of the Maythur Membership Committee and requirements are few and easily met. The officers of the Maythur Society for the fall semester were Frank Monticelli, presi- dent; Robert Patterson, vice-president; and Joy Frerichs, secretary.

Engineers The purpose of the Engineers Club is to provide an organization in which the engineer- ing students may take part in activities of common interest. On February 22 the club made an intensive tour of Shasta Dam, where they learned about its construction and observed its operation. In the spring semester they traditionally add a stone to the walk connecting the Science Buildmg and Pioneer Hall to commemorate the day Santa Rosa Junior College was established at its present location. The club put on a dance in the spring and also made trips to places of industrial activity. During the fall semester Arthur Feige presided, and vice-president and secretary were Darryl Norberry and Raymond Cochrane, respectively. The officers for the spring semester were Frank Mannweiler, president; Paul Klemonok, vice-president; and Lee Elmer, secretary. Council representatives for the fall and spring semesters were Charles Bonar and Arthur Feige, respectively. The facultv sponsor for the club is Mr. J. E.

Ski Club In 1946 the Ski Club was organized and chartered as a social group. Being a com- paratively new organization, its activities have been limited because of the difficulties of transportation and reservations. Despite those drawbacks twenty-one of the members went on a ski trip to Soda Springs in the Sierras in January, proving to be one of the events of the season. During the spring semester the club was dormant and the activities were nil. With the i ncreasing interest of the students, the future looks bright for the snow-bunnies. The club has about 40 members. As for officers.

Since it was organized in the spring semester, the club had few activities, but some of these were a fashion show in April, selling cokes on character day, March 28, and holding a raffle. The purpose of this club is to help the women students of the junior college to get better acquainted with one another and to sponsor more activities among the women students.

The group discusses on the campus laiin. Discussion Group Ken ThoUaugh, president of the Student Body during the spring semester, acted as chairm.m for the Discussion Group last fall. The group was comparatively small at that time, but its popularity grew as the activities enlarged. Routine work was completed, officers were elected, their charter was drafted and the Executive Council added one more representative to the list. Sponsoring of the Anti-Tenney Bills was one of the more prominent activities. They gave reports at various conferences, both here and at other junior colleges. A committee was nominated to investigate facts on race discrimination in some parts of Sonoma County. Miss Florence Rhodehamel sponsored the group and discussion meetings, which were held every Wednesday and proved most interesting to all who attended. In the fall semester only a chairman was needed to head the group, but in the spring semester regular officers were assigned. The students who held these offices were: Virginia Norton, Dorothy Neuman, Ken Thollaug, Max Meshon, and Richard Tally. 58 W. S.S.F. Setting $3,000 as a goal for this year, a campus committee of the World Student Serv- ice Fund project was active at Santa Rosa Junior College. The committee composed of a few students interested in this cause became active in attempting to establish the basis for better world understanding in the fall of 194S and continued activities for the current year. In the fall, the group pledged the students and clubs in order to obtain the goal set. The money was collected in the spring and was sent to the central office of the W.S.S.F. in New York. From that point it will be distributed to European and Asiatic students, where it will be used to pay for needed texts, food, and hospitalization. An assembly was given in March by this committee at which Miss Mary Anne Nichol- son of Mills College told of her experiences in touring through Europe last summer. Committee members in furthering their aims attended conferences of students from western Universities, at Stanford, University, Mills College, and at the Pacific coast head- quarters of W.S.S.F. in Monterey, Calif. During these conferences the goals were set for each college for 1947. Ken ThoUaug, former chairman ' and Max Meshon, present chairman of this group, have worked ceaselessly in spreading the doctrine of Help Thy Neighbor here at S.R.J.C. FIRST ROW, Icjt to righf: M.

Radio Guild The radio show began with College Time, a half-hour show presented at 7:3U every Sunday night over the local radio station KSRO. Programs consisted of so- ciety news, sports news, and interviews. Three original cast members of these first few shows were Joan Sullivan, Brad Wil- son, and Dave Crane. Then the show was enlarged and the organization Theatre Guild of Santa Rosa Junior College was born. The guild was composed of two divisions: the radio group, responsible only for weekly pro- grams, and the theatre division which or- ganized the annual variety show during the spring semester. The radio division does specific work; members were busy with many duties dur- ing rehearsals and productions. They had to obtain the musical scores and scripts. They directed, produced, and adapted scripts to the time limit allowed, created their own sound effects, and gave auditions to new hopeful members. Musical scores in the Variety Show were arranged by Glenn Blair, the production was under the direction of Carroll Harris, and the program was arranged by Betty Stockett. The club ' s officers are as follows: president, Brad Wilson; vice-president of radio, Dave Crane; secretary of radio, Joy Frerichs; vice-president of music; Glenn Blair; vice-president of theatre production, Carroll Harris; secretary of theatre pro- duction, Betty Stockett; treasurer, Verna Young; and council representative.

Carroll, uith the sun in bis t-i Publicity Department Behind those blinkers stands Milt Wichoh. The need for promotion of school activities was the reason behind the foundation of the Publicity Depart- ment. It was initiated in the fall semester of 1946. Under the direction of Milt Nichols a group of artists were assigned various jobs, such as painting signs and posters. For a short period of time records were played from the Publicity room over loudspeakers; they were en- joyed by all the students who were relaxing on the campus lawns during the noon hcur. When the weather changed and some liquid sunshine drenched the walks, the record idea seemed unprofitable; therefore, it was terminated. In January Carroll Harris presided in the place of Mr. Nichols. The Executive Council decided that the department was doing such fine work that they amended the constitution to provide the department a seat in the council. The formation of the Publicity Department has given art students and others interested in publicity rn opportunity to prove their abilities in regard to this type of work.

Homecoming Jaycee ' s second annual Homecoming nearly ended up as a public bath from the torrents of liquid California sunshine that fell. The rain, however, did not dampen the spirits of any of the students or the alumni. The big day doings started the night before with a giant bonfire rally and the judging of the whiskerino contest. When three of the beard- growing winners had been picked, the crowd filed out to watch a water-soaked bonfire go up in smoke. Barney Wilen ' s pep band amused the four hundred turnouts on the wet evening with school songs and Pete Petersen and her crew led a few drenched school yells. The rain soon let up and the crowd of Beat Mariners moved into the business district in a snake line and let it be known to the populace of the Rose City that a top notch football contest was in store for them the next day. Registration started the next day and was handled by the Maythur Club. From ten o ' clock on the alumni filed onto the campus, viewing their old classrooms, renewing their acquaintances with faculty members, and dodging mud puddles. Milt Nichols ' Home- coming extravaganza got underway at one o ' clock with a variety of campus talent. Queen Dorie Forsythe was crowned amid the applause of the admiring audience and envious girl friends. Her twelve competitors acted as attendants for the afternoon. The gymnasium was converted into a mess hall and dinner was served by the Women ' s Athletic Association after chef Steve Mayer prepared the Bar-B-Qued victuals. The mud and slush contest on the gridiron ended up with a 13-7 Santa Rosa victory. 9x:i CENTER: HoiiHcomhig Queen, Dolores Forsythe. CLOCKWISE from louer left: Joanne Harris.

Homecoming Queen The Homecoming Show was the scene of the crown- ing of this year ' s Queen. After a group of judges, who were made of Santa Rosa business men and women, se- lected their choice, Dolores Forsythe was crowned Home- coming Queen of 1946. Miss Forsythe was presented with a cup which will be preserved by the college and will be engraved with the name of the Queens in years to come. The queen and her attendants occupied a special table at the Barbeque dinner and a royal seat at the Marin game that evening. The queen committee was headed by Lenore Carey and Charles Magowan. r5 .V.:M. ' L,.. Dancing under the Christmas star. and ii:kt- fur iittirniis iuiicrs. Bin ney and the boys take five.

Carrying out the theme of White Christmas, Irene Bloom and her decoration committee filled the gym with realistic snow scenes, decorated trees, and snowmen. Barney Wilen and his band furnished the music for the formally-attired dancers, and during the intermission refreshments were served by Pat Maher and her committee. The cleanup committee included all freshman nurses. Fall oificers for the Associated Students of the Junior College School of Nursing were Rosetta Harris, president; Betty Brady, vice-presi- dent; and Susanne Bollerud, secretary-treasurer. Spring officers were Irene Bloom, presi- dent; Rosalyn ThoUaug, vice-president, and Jo Gregg, secretary-treasurer. 66 Maythttr Masquerade Who ' s that? was the big question asked by the costumed dancers at the Maythur Masquerade on January 28 in the gym. The highlight of the evening was the unmasking at midnight at which time many famihar faces were at long last revealed. Ralph Rawson provided the music for the dancing and romancing. The idea for the masquerade was patterned after the colorful Mardi Gras usually held just before lent in New Orleans. Strict secrecy as to one ' s identity was enforced by Maythur Club President Bob Patterson. In charge of decorations for this gala affair was Pat Karlson, talented campus art major. The masquerade turned out to be one of the most colorful events of the Spring semester. The Maythur Hosts. Mildred and Lhidsjy Stroiit . . . Gay 90 ' ers.

Under the direction of Mr. Chester Beck, Mr. Harry Meyn, and Mr. Gordon Dixon, such organizations as College Band, Orchestra, Symphonic Band, Chorus, and Madrigal Club are oflfered. In addition to these, the student may learn to play a musical instrument, study the mechanics of music, or its history. One may become the life of the party if one takes advantage of the piano courses. A newly organized organ department is also attracting many advanced students. The College Band, consisting of fifty pieces, played for all home football games and those at Napa and Vallejo, always the center of interest at the halftime. It presented an excellent performance in representing the college at the Armistice Day Parade at Petaluma. In addition to these appearances, the band played for Commence- ment, in conjunction with the chorus in popular concerts, and for assemblies. Majorettes step high. Action — music. 44 Line of March.

Dramatics Dotihlf ixposmc PtijtI ' i other ifh The Dramatics Department develops talent into skill with potential actors, technicians, and stagehands. Probably one of the most extra time takers, the dramatics department labored the fall semester for its late winter presentation of Noel Coward ' s Blythe Spirit. The play, acclaimed a hit by those attending its three performances, was the result of Mr. George Andreni ' s supervision and direction, and the hard work and co-operation of the cast and those behind the scenes. ' ' Blythe Spirit was presented twice in Burbank Auditorium, and had its last showing at the Women ' s Club in Petaluma.

The Play s The Thing Noel Coward ' s well-known comedy, Blvthe Spirit, was presented by the Junior College Dramatic Department in February of this year. The play, a farce on the supernatural, em- bodied seven characters with all action taking place near London just before the last war. Paul Stremic acted the part of Charles Condomlne, a well-to-do English author. Chloe Kay played the part of Charles ' second wife, Ruth, very be- wildered at his actions upon the appearance of the ghost of Elvira, Charles ' first wife, visible to him alone. Dora Laken portrayed Elvira, in- stigator of Ruth ' s death, in an attempt to bring Charles into the realm of spirits to be with her. Madame Arcati, a slightly daft spiritualist and a very interesting character in both senses of the word, was played by Mrs. Harriet Parish Barnes, prominent Santa Rosa resident and dra- matic reader. Joe Patterson and Gloria Lagan acted in the important supporting roles of Dr. and Mrs. Branman, close friends of the Condomines. The household maid, and unknowingly the cause of Elvira ' s and Ruth ' s undesirable and prolonged stay, was played by Mary Dwyer. The splendid work of these seven actors and actresses was proclaimed by the packed houses at its three presentations.

Streniir, Guaril Finishing their first postwar football season, Coach Cook Sypher and Bob Mastin ' s Bear Cub Varsity turned in an enviable record for their 1946 league play. The Bear Cubs finished third in the 1946 league standings, right in the footsteps of Menlo and Vallejo Junior Colleges at whose hands they suffered their only two league defeats. SANTA ROSA, 1 8 ; STANFORD J. V., 1 3 Beginning the season with close to one hundred candidates. Coach Sypher, within two weeks, molded together a team that handed Stanford University ' s Junior Varsity a surprising upset defeat. D. BoiiJelie, Guard SANTA ROSA, 18; PORTERVILLE, Porterville Junior College was to be the first test of Coach Sypher ' s grid machine. Even without much of an idea of the opposition ' s defense or offense, the Bear Cubs had little trouble in running over a weak and inexperienced Porter- ville squad. SANTA ROSA, 12; NAPA, The first league game of the season was with the Napa Indijns on their home grounds. The Napans staved off the Red and Blue .ittack during the first half, but the brilliant passing of Ron James and Mike Klemenok proved to be the deciding factor of Santa Rosa ' s first league win. SANTA ROSA, 3 5 ; YUBA, Yuba Junior College proved to be just another breather for the Bear Cubs. Coach Sypher cleaned the bench in this game, proving that Bear Cub power was a good three teams deep.

SANTA ROSA, 7; VALLEJO, 2 1 ' ith a very good record behind them, the Cubs went into this game slightlv favored. Vallejo was to be the first really big obstacle in the Santa Rosa champion- ship hopes. A heated rivalry had arisen between these two teams. A record crowd looked on as the Bear Cubs met their first defeat of the season. SANTA ROSA, 0; MENLO, 19 Still smarting from the defeat at the hands of Vallejo, Santa Rosa faced Menlo on Bailey Field. Menlo was considered the strongest team in the league, and they ably proved their worth by dumping the home-towners in a one-sided game. Injured in this game, Jim Rackerby and Jack alker were lost to the Cubs for the remainder of the season. SANTA ROSA, 1 3 ; MARIN, 7 Marked by a very muddy field, the traditional big game saw the Bear Cubs come back from their two-game slump to defeat their rivals from the Mud Flats in a well-played game.

Very seldom in a single grid year can a spectator watch a game in his shirt sleeves, sit in a steady downpour of rain, or have so much fog roll in that he is unable to see the playing field. Take the game with the Stanford Reserves. Loyal Bear Cub rooters who followed the team to Palo Alto did watch the game in their shirtsleeves. That Menlo game of ' 46, remember? A little before half time the fog was thick enough to blot the actions of the team from the fans in the stands. Marin was greeted in the annual big game with one of the rainiest nights and muddiest fields seen here in a great while. A tough hurdle for the Red and Blue.

Returning to the position of head football coach, Cook Sypher, who had left Santa Rosa Junior College to serve in the Marine Corps, found that his squad would be made up predominately of veterans. Spring football had a slight turnout, but with the beginning of the fall semester, nearly one hundred ambitious gridsters had reported for practice. Now the task of forming a team presented itself. Choosing from such a large group of candidates would be hard. Segregating the various positions, finding what special talent was possessed by each individual, that would all take time. The coaching staff was enriched by the addition of Bob Mastin, who was to be line coach. Bob formerly played two years under Sypher here at Jaycee, then transferring to Stanford, he was a regular on the famous Indian team of 1940. In two weeks Sypher and Mastin had developed a team good enough to win their first practice game. The team had looked good, but much improvement would have to be made before the Cubs would develop power. Many former Bear Cub gridsters returned to play once again for their old Alma Mater. Among those were Frank Van Deren and Paul Farris, who had played together on the Santa Rosa championship team of 1942. Going through their first opponents with ease, it looked as though the Cubs were championship bound. Santa Rosa ' s campus had seemed to be about the onlv college in the league that had been flocked to by football-playing veterans, but that illusion was shattered when both Vallejo and Menlo stopped the Bear Cubs ' winning streak. It was now quite evident that Santa Rosa was not the only loaded team in the North Coast Conference. Chuck Zeihn, elected captain of the team, was by far the most outstanding man wear- ing the Red and Blue. His amazing defensive ability gave the opposition plenty of trouble when it came to running the left side of the Bear Cub line. Standouts in the line for Santa Rosa were Frank Van Deren, Dan Mervin and John Nourse at the ends. Putting in well-plaved minutes at the tackle slots were Ziehn, George Scinto, John Ruddv and Joe Patter- son. Bill Geary, Paul Stremic, and Harvey Doron were well placed at guards. Bob Nairne and Mel Coppa at the center position played well. Doing a good job of quarterbacking were Ron James, Mike Klemenok and Jack Valker. The seasonal 140 points were scored by such brilliant . ' backs as Jim Rackerby, Jack Steen, Stan Mohar, Bill Hubbell, Al ' if Pisenti, Joe Marvin, Bill Simi, and Gerv Hansen. i Captain Chuck Xeibn -J Junior Varsity Coach,!. D. K ' niolfi ami [. Mu nlnh Judging from the valuable experience gained by the Junior Varsity during the 1946 season, new varsity material should spring from its ranks in the coming year. In the only two games scheduled, the J.V. ' s came through with a .500 average. A home-and-home series was played with the Humboldt State Junior Varsity in which the Bear Cub Reserves lost the first one on Eureka territory by a 7-0 score. Seeking revenge for such a narrow defeat, the Ramblers made preparations to meet the Loggers on the home grounds of Bailey Field. The Student Body funds pertaining to transportation only covered Varsity games so this left the J.V. ' s without enough cash to transport the Humboldt Staters to Santa Rosa. So eager were they to play this game, the Santa Rosans went to various establishments and began selling game tickets in advance in order to raise the necessary money. The quota was met, the money was sent, and the boys continued the good work by upsetting the Humboldt Staters by a 6-0 score. Most of the fellows playing Rambler football had been segregated at the beginning of the season as not being quite good enough for varsity material. However, this dis- illusionment did not mean that they could no longer play football. Very diligently they worked out each night under the able guidance of Coaches Bob Matulich and Dante Ridolfi, both former Bear Cub stars. These workouts continued even though no games were scheduled. It seemed as though Santa Rosa was the only school in the league that even tried to field a Reserve Varsity.

Rugby For the first year since 1942, Santa Rosa Junior College fielded a rugby team, and a winning one at that. In four contests, the Cubs were defeated but once. This turned out to be a very good performance for a green and inexperienecd squad such as it was. From the team of about thirty men, there were only two that had previous experience in playing the game. The other men had never seen a rugby game. In the short time Coach Sypher had to train the men how to play the game, he did a good job, for the Bear Cubs met a far superior Petaluma Legion team and held it to but 13 points. The next Petaluma game turned out to be an entirely different story. The Syphermen determined to win over the Legionnaires really put their hearts into their second encounter. The Petalumans were astounded by the surprising Bear Cubs who outscored them 12-6. Journeying to Palo Alto, the Bear Cubs for the second time in 1946 defeated the Stanford Indians. In football the Red and Blue were victorious and now the Santa Rosa ruggers dropped the Indian Varisty 14-3 — a very remarkable victory for the Cubs. The University Club of Berkeley, considered one of the strongest rugby teams in Northern California, accepted a Bear Cub challenge to meet the local s on Bailey Field. In their best game of the season, the Cubs outpl.iyed the Bays from Berkeley to win their third tilt of the season by a 9-6 margin. Al Pisenti and Wes Snell, the only two men with previous rugby experience, were the mainstays of the Cubs throughout the season. Chuck Zeihn and Frank Van Deren, along with Bob Brown and Joe Patterson, within the short season developed into first class rugbymen. Other men who showed skill were Gene Cowell, Dick Bondelie, Bab Nairnc, Harvey Doron, Dan Smith, and Paul Henderson. Gene Destruel. Dave Johnson, Bill Winkler, Frank Masuoka and Joe Marvin also per- formed well. Capttin Allen Pisenti FIRST ROW, left to right: ].Tarro, K.Clark. U . Wanlau, D. Aze- vfdo, C.Tabor,V.Baela.

Varsity Although the record books show that Coach Dick Blewett ' s 1946-47 quintet went through fourteen league games without a single victory, that team will go down in the memory of all as being a hard-fighting squad who went in there and put out all they had in hope of winning. Hard luck seemed to be the theme for the varsity during the season due to injuries, bad breaks, and the transfer of key men to other colleges and privately sponsored basketball teams. As the final scores show, most of the Bear Cub opposition found that the boys from Santa Rosa, although fielding a losing ball club, were no easy touch. Even the league- winning Sacramento Dragons had to press the Bear Cubs hard to gain a two-point win in a very exciting overtime game. At the beginning of the season such fine prospects as Jim and Jack Steen, and Dan Mervin, made it look as though Coach Blewett might round out a fair bunch of casabamen. Even before the season began, Jim Steen was tempted away from school by The Chapel of the Oaks, an A.A.U. team. His brother, Jack, hampered by bad ankles was also lost to the Bear Cubs. Dan Mervin, the sparkplug and mainstay of the Cubs, transferred at midseason to Stanford University. Mervin was usually the coolest player on the floor at all times. Con- sidered one of the best defensive guards to tread the Santa Rosa courts in a great while, Mervin was a great loss to the team. Coaches Dick Bh ' urtt ttntl Boh Mastifi. TjhI, ass scores: Charlie makes a tip-in. Smith rcjchcs Jot it. Basketball ith the start of the spring semester, a few new additions were made to the Bear Cub roster. Some who were not able to play the previous semester due to ineligibility rules, now donned the Red and Blue. The coaching staff needed these new men badly as their first string was composed of about seven men. Charlie Magowan, Kurt Clark, Bill Vasilo- vich, ' ayne ' anlass, and Ray Smith were carrying most of the burden without much rehef. When former Santa Rosa High School players, such as Dick Azevedo, John Fitz- gerald, and Larry Fitzpatrick became eligible, these players gained a deserved rest. Ray Maffei, a former Jaycee basketeer, was also among the new turnouts. There were still six opponents left on the Santa Rosa schedule, and the newly formed team hoped to chalk up their first win of the season, but even with the added strength the Blewertmen were unable to break the win column. In the Big Game, the Mariners, highly favored since the Bear Cubs had failed to drop an opponent, found themselves quite far behind at half time, and for the first time during the season the Cubs looked as though thev couldn ' t be stopped, but Marin, bucketing a surge of points in the second half made it thirteen in a row for the Santa Rosans.

Tahor, Foruard Varsity Basketball If half time scores should mean anything, the Bear Cubs would probably have had a first division ball team. In the fourteen league games played, the Cubs were half time leaders in a majority of the contests. If only the first half exhibitions could have been preserved and not the remainder of the games, the Red and Blue would have had an enviable record. Santa Rosa was not the only junior college in the conference to lose fourteen. Yuba, the Southern Division cellar-dwelling club, also went through the league without a win. One of the faults about record books is that posterity will judge a team by the number of wins and losses registered for a particular season. A team can lose every contest and yet still be an aggregation of championship caliber. To win or lose doesn ' t necessarily mean that a player isn ' t a fine athlete. When remembering the Bear Cubs of 1946-47, don ' t bear in mind what the records state concerning their fourteen winless attempts, but instead remember how the fellows did their best to stand up in an effort to win for their school. It is much harder to be a good loser than to be a good winne-. D. Dltilbav, GriinJ C. Mii,ii(tH an, ForucirJ K. Cicirk. Guard R. Maffci, Foruanl tIRST KOU . left to right: W . Rcifif, E. oonati, D.

Lightweight Basketball Under the leadership of Bob Mastin, assistant varsity coach, the lightweights went through a rather unorganized year with a great deal of success. Scheduled games were few and far between, but the Baby Cubs were able to promote enough contests to enable them to have a full season of basketball. Most of the teams played were of the unorganized variety, but enough competition was provided for the lightweights. Some of the more stable fives that were played in- cluded the Healdsburg Greyhounds, whom they met twice, Analy High School, and St. Vincents of Vallejo. Many of the lightweights were given a chance to see some action on the varsity. Among these were Cal Tabor and Vincent Baeta, both forwards. Each of these fellows showed a great deal of basketball ability. With the season drawing to an end, the Cubs elected Gene Baldocchi as team captain. Gene had led them through some tough contests and he well deserved the honor. Others who looked as though they may be good prospects for next season ' s varsity were Hal Bolla, Ed Noonan, Rich Cromie, Don Brittingham and Howard Olson.

A hit! Varsity With the prospects of a good season, Coach Cook Sypher ' s Bear Cubs donned their spikes and turned out en masse in an effort to mold a combination of winning batsmen. Three veterans, Leo Sulhvan, a pitcher, John Smith, first base, and George MacKinnon, an outfielder, composed the nucleus of what was to be the 1947 varsity. Practice began in early February and Coach Sypher was pleased with the good turnout. Within a few weeks the squad was cut to its normal playing size and the coaching staff really began to get down to work. The first two tests for the Bear Cubs were called off due mostly to an unpredictcd amount of rain. Only one practice game was actually played before league competition was undertaken on March 22. The starting lineup for the initial Northern California Junior College Conference game was about as strong as Coach Sypher could produce, and that proved to be very strong, as the Bear Cubs romped over San Mateo in a doubleheader 7-4 and 7-1. Both hurlers. Bob Maruca and Leo Sullivan, as well as their support, turned in a brilliant game. Sullivan held the San Mateans to but four hits. Others in the first nine included George MacKinnon, center field. Art Harwood, shortstop, John Fitzgerald, right field, Don Mason, second base, Gervin Hansen, third base, John Smith, first base, Dave McCarty, catcher, and Dick Azevedo, left field. Other players who saw a great deal of action were outfielders Norm Canevari and Jack O ' SulIivan. Scheduled league games for the 1947 season gave the Bear Cubs a total of twelve league games. The Santa Rosa portion of the league included San Mateo, San Francisco, Salinas, Marin, Vallejo, Menlo, and Santa Rosa. Each team was slated to play two games with every team in the circuit. The championship team then played the winner of the Valley League. The first school the Bear Cubs met was San Mateo in a double header at San Mateo. Next a home and home series with San Francisco Junior College was played on March 22 and 2 5. The Cubs traveled to Salinas to meet their third league rival in a twin bill. Marin, the major league rivals of the Syphermen, were met at Kentfield on April 15. The Cubs them played host to the Mariners at Santa Rosa on the 19th. Fifth on the schedule was another home and home series, this time with the Vallejo Redskins. Menlo was the final league opponent for the Cubs. The first en- counter was at Menlo, but the Bear Cubs finished the season on their home grounds. Baseball Gen takc a cut. They look good. Cook! Don ' look so uorried. K. Yonug, catcher N.

Part of this was due to the great array of talent gathered together by Coach Sypher, and yet part was due to their new uniforms. i When the Junior College baseball nine trotted out against San Mateo in their initial con- ference game, they were wearing new grey uniforms. These new suits were presented to the Bear Cubs by Mr. Tom Grace, the president of Grace Brothers ' Brewing Company. Mr. Grace, as well as his brother Bill Grace, star basketball performer in 1931, has always been interested in the junior college athletics. His gracious donation was well appreciated by the members of the team as well as the Student Body as a whole. It takes teamwork to make a team click, but new uniforms help a great deal to make a ball club look good. Cook shows how to hunt. V.,. ■ . .JfJ Out of their holes — the Cubs, are off! Varsity Track Starting completely from scratch. Coach Dick Blewett ' s 1947 cindermen are com- paratively new to college competition. Very few of the fellows had ever entered in a college meet before entering Santa Rosa Junior College. For the most part, the field events looked like the strongest portion of the team. Leading the weightsters was Bill Rush, shotputter and disc hurler. Rush, a former Lowell High School star, set an A. A. A. shot record in 1943. He also tossed the disc for the famous Olympic Club of San Francisco. Another weightster is Norman Chavez, a Santa Rosa High School graduate. Chavez, while in high school, was consistent in winning his event, the shotput. Besides Rush in the discus throw, there was Ervie Cantwell and George Coldwell. Both boys sent the disc spinning pretty far, while Coldwell broke the school high jump record. FIRST ROW, left to right: G. Betiway, E. Baldocchi, A. Ghigo- netli, J. Nmh, P. An- drews, H. Biaggi, F.

In the pole vault there were two contenders. Frank Masuoka, who turned in a fine jump of 11 ' 10 while attending Analy High, was the chief threat in this event. Bill McCulloch, a Richmond vaulter, was the other participant. Allen Pisenti, Gene Baldocchi, and Albert Callori were the main cvcnters in the high jump. All three of these boys were former Santa Rosa High School tracksters. Leaping over the sand pit were Raymond Leri and Harold Biaggi. This was Leri ' s first attempt at the broad jump and he did a good job for a novice. For the most part, the majority of the points throughout the season, were gained by men in the field events. B.

To complete the round of running events, some fieldmen were converted to the sprints and distances. Leading the Cubs in the shorter dashes were Joe Fiiice and Joe Marvin. Both boys did well in the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Harold Olson, formerly a Petalum.i Trojan, was about the most natural runner on the squad. Throughout the season he tried his hand at almost every race. His best efforts though were made via the quarter-mile. Circling the oval twice, Jim Ingalls ran a consistent half-mile. John Xash, in the mile run, was the leading Santa Rosa contender in that event. Mel Herman and Fred Wright ran about the most gruelling race of a meet, the two-mile. The hurdles had Gene Bussman and Keith Jung running the 120 highs, while Don Gilbert, Allen Pisenti and Frank Masuoka skipped over the 220 lows. Let it go, Frank ' .

Block SR Only five active previ ' ar members of the Block SR, Ray Maffei, Bob Lyle, Phil Guidotti, Bill Ney, and Frank DeLazzer, returned this year to the Santa Rosa Junior College campus, and since all men who have been awarded letters since the resumption of sports at the junior college this year, except the five named above, have not yet been initiated, they are not really members of the lettermen society. Thus, with about fifty or more candidates to be initiated, it will be quite a task for the original five, but tentative plans for the ceremony are being made. Hopes are that the society can once again begin functioning as it did in prewar years. Because of the number of new letter winners who will become members, the Block SR should prove again to be the worthy organiz ation that it was. 94 FIRST ROW, lejt « right: B.Ni-y, B. Lylc.

Choosing a Sport At the beginning of each semester, girls choose the sports which they prefer. Each class meets twice a week for the daily dozen, which consists of various sports. The W.A.A. Cabinet plans many outside activities, including horseback riding, bike rides, playday, and a trip to Dillon ' s Beach which is combined with a picnic and swimming. Twenty points qualify each girl to belong to the Women ' s Athletic Association in- cluding the initiation which enables each applicant to be a full-pledged member. Partici- pating in various sports adds more points. With 300 points one is awarded a pin — 500 points enables one to get a guard pin and block sweater, which shows the girl ' s prowess in sports. Looks like tht ' tumhliug class- happy landing. Betty Perry. Here ' s the calm before the storm, girls. Betty Arana trying hard to hit the bullseye. W.A.A. Initiation Nearly fifteen girls went through the agony of not wearing make-up during their terms as initiates, but were well rewarded at the end of the ' Pain Dav by the W.A.A. banquet conducted by the Cabinet and older members. The new initiates were admitted into the organization after obtaining twenty points in girls ' sports. The absolutely tortureless initiation consisted of playing dirty tricks on the new members, hazing, and other appropriate measures to impress upon their minds the importance of the occasion. Banquet Following each playday and sports event of the girl students of Jaycee, a banquet usually topped off the day. The old adage was enlarged and it is not only the army that travels on its stomachs, but also the sports-weary coeds in the women ' s athletic department. The Marln-Santa Rosa playday was the biggest of these events, with dozens of girls crowding the chow line after the termination of festivities. Besides the games on the campus the girls fre- quently got together on Saturday afternoons for horseback rides in the outlying districts of Santa Rosa. Aeronautics Fliers . . . Instructors . . .

Flight Instructors The Santa Rosa Junior College stepped forward this fall in aviation by inaugurating a school of flight instruction. The students enrolled in this course spend part of the day at the school and part of the day at the field doing actual flying. This course gives the students their private pilot ' s license and also with more instruction and flying hours they may receive their commercial and instructor ' s licenses. The aviation department is headed by Mr. Eugene Portugal. He is aided by a group of capable flight instructors who teach the actual flying to the students at the Sonoma County Airport. They are Coordinator of Flying, Stanley Kokendoufer; Chief of Flight, Clifford Skoog; Assistant Chief of Flight, George Matley; Flight Instructors, John Westlund, Herbert McCarter, Charles Trindlc, Don McGowan, Alfred Rubke, Raymond Bondi, Robert Plum, George Leisure, Fred Cozad, and Paul BInford.

The Santa Rosa Junior College School of Aviation has made itself known about town by graduating a large class of more than twenty students who have soloed and put in their time to receive their private pilot ' s license. The class shown at the top of the page received their wings at a dinner held in their honor at the Mark West Springs Resort. Most of these students will some day own their own planes and find use for them in both business and pleasure. The picture at the bottom of the page shows the spring class which is now under the guidance of the capable instructors at the field. This class will soon be wearing the symbolic propeller around their necks to show that they, too, have soloed and have received their wings through the school facilities.

A course is given in Internal Combustion Engines for all students interested in the maintenance, repair, or operation of any of these engines. This course prepares a student to become a mechanic on all kinds of airplane motors. The school grants an Associate of Arts Degree in this field. A special course is given for students who major in aircraft engines alone. Instruction is given in the shop on the campus under Mr. Hayes Hunter and practical work in engine and plane repair is done in the shop of the North Bay Flying Service at the Sonoma County Airport.

This is the first time this class in Celestial Navigation and Nauti- cal Astronomy has been offered in the Santa Rosa Junior College. Students study the movements of the heavenly bodies and will learn the names of about fifty-five stars. They will also learn the use of the bubble type sextant as it is used in transoceanic navigation and for the determination of position by celestial navigation. The picture shows the class of students using the Link sextant, an Army training type, and the Army Model A- 10, which is used in overseas navigation by the Army. These students will also be checked out in the use of the Mark IV and Mark V Navy sextant. When these future navigators have finished this course, they will have had the same training given to Army and Navy navigators, except for the actual flight experiences. The instructor of this course is Mr. Eugene Portugal. ' . Mrs. Hayes is bcni iuslrnctcd in the use of the sextant by Mr. E. J. Portugal.

The purpose of the Aviation Club at Santa Rosa Junior College is to gather together those students who are actively interested in aviation, particularly flying. The aim of the club is to promote and to continue the furtherance of aviation in the community and school. To be eligible for membership a person must be a member of the student body of Santa Rosa Junior College or an alumnus of the Junior College. He must also have soloed under the supervision of a licensed instructor. The president of the Aviation Club is Guy Grosse; vice-president. Bob Davis; secretarv-treasurer, Dean Smith; student representative, Marvin Zimpher. The club held a dance in January at the Santa Rosa Hotel in order to raise money to purchase a plane of its own.

On Duty MISS EDNA BEHRENS A graJiiale of fmiikliii Hoipital School of Nursing, Sua Fran- cisco, Miss Behrens nceiied additional training at the universities of San Francisco, California, and Stanford. As operating room administratiie and teaching supervisor at Franklin Hospital, and as instructor of post-graduate courses in operating room super- vision at St. Mary ' s Hospital, San Francisco, she received exper- ience uhich is of I rial necessity in her present position as president of the California State Nurses Association and director of the S.R.J.C. School of Nursing. School of Nursing One of the first schools of nursing to be accepted by the Pubhc Health Department on the West Coast, the Santa Rosa Junior College School of Nursing, directed by Miss Edna Behrens and under the educational supervision of Miss Mary D. Giles, is composed this year of fifty-one student nurses. With the admission of the September class, a new leaf was turned over in the history of the school, for the Cadet Nurse Corps (to which former classes belonged) was dis- continued. Instead of receiving subsistence, the September class receives books, uniforms, laundry, board and room for the duration of their three years of training. Unlike their Cadet sisters, these students are not pledged to make their services available either to government or civilian nursing services at the end of their training. As indicated by their title, nursing students take an active part in Junior College affairs, the main event being the traditional Christmas Dance which they give each year. This year the nurses also presented a spring assembly, took part in rallies. Character Day, Homecoming Day, and assemblies. MISS MARY DODD GILES After graduating from the Massachusetts General Hospital School of Nursing, Miss Giles continued her formal education at Columbia University in New York, uhere she received her B.S. and M.A. degrees, hi addition to serving with American forces in France during the first World War, she has also served in a supervisorial capacity in schools of nursing at Frainingham Hos- pital, Columbia Hospital, Vniiersity of Michigan, and Vanderbilt University. Pretious to her becoming Educational Director at S.R.J.C. School of Nursing in 1942, Miss Giles lectured for a time at the University of California School of Nursing. Left to right: E. Orsborn, E.

Devoting some of their time to instruction of regular classes at Junior College, such as Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Medical and Surgical Diseases, T.B., Urology, besides a certain number of hours to ward classes, these doctors carry on the hospital functions as well as their private practices. Special attention and help is given by doctors on ward rounds in the instructing of stu- dents as to the pathology, course, and treatment of diseases. Preparing the students for their future role as nurses, nursing supervisors guide classes in proper care of patients, ethics, diatetlcs, and preparation of drugs. Although most are not in residence at the hospital, they are in constant touch with the students so as to give accurate information and hclptul suggestions whenever needed. Lfjl to right: E.

K m ■ Acting as adjunct to the Junior College, the Sonoma County Hospital provides for the practical training of student nurses. Because it is the health center for the county around which revolve numerous clinics (including the newly-formed Tumor and Rheu- matic Fever clinics), students are given the opportunity to ob- serve and work with cases they might not otherwise see. As sophomores, the students give general care to patients and start on special services such as Diet Kitchen, Surgery, and T.B. When a student becomes a junior, she is privileged to give medi- cations (provided she has passed a course in Pharmacology) and also may give more major treatments and dressings. In their senior year, the student nurses are given the responsibility of the wards, and affiliate with some other hospital in the treatment of psyco- pathic patients. r v.. Fosl-Op. ' m i ' -i ' ? - At Rest Chanaie Hall, nurses residence. Choir Time, Bedtime Snacks. Located behind the hospital and resting against a eucalyptus- covered slope, Chanate Hall is the center for off-duty activities. To relax from a strenuous duty, girls may stretch out in comfort- able easy chairs in front of the large living room fireplace. If they are in a mood for catching up on world affairs, newspapers and current magazines are on hand in the library, as are books for non- intellectual pursuers. Various organizations such as riding and bowling clubs, choir groups and others, offer an outlet for unused energy, and the junior college tennis courts are near enough for practice until the nurses are provided with their own facilities. The Student Council, composed of representatives from each class, and the house committee, made up of floor chairmen and Student Council officers, govern the hall with the help of Mrs. Mary Wh ittington, house mother.
