The purpose of this club, as it was set forth at that time and as it has been upheld ever since, is to further and to stimulate athletic activities and to uphold the high standard of athletics that has always been present in Taft Junior College. This society is composed of men who have earned their letters in some junior college sport, and membership is open to all men who have earned their Maroon T's in some phase of junior college athletics. To earn a letter a man must either play in half the league games: be in the conference play-off: or, if the player is of such character that his mere presence is an inspiration to the team, the coach will recommend that he receive a letter. Members of the Maroon T Club have been especially active, have shown initiative. and have proved themselves to be leaders of men throughout the year. The Maroon T has solidly supported the measures which have been constructive and for the general welfare of the whole student body. The club has chosen as its leaders those of whom thev can be proud and to whom they may point as stellar athletes. The presidents of the year have embod- ied the most outstanding characteristics of the true athlete, sportsmanship and fair play. Murray Eiland took up the work as president durino the first semester and was more than ordinarily successful in his administration. The football banquet. which was under his supervision, was a gorgeous affair, much enjoyed and appreciated as one of the main events of the campus social season. Joe Erlewine took un the duties of president durine the last semester and ably maintained the high administrative standard which had been set for him, FIRST SEMESTER OFFICERS SECOND SEMESTER Murrav Eiland .... ....

Starting the year with a new organization, it has developed until it has become an active group in college affairs. Any woman in the Junior College who has participated in one or more of the women's sports is eligible for membership. Practice and tryouts for all teams take place after regular school hours. Points are awarded on the national point basis of one hundred points for any woman making a first team. Captains of teams and executive officers of the association receive an additional twenty-five points. By the use of this point system, any member transferring to a college can also transfer her membership in the Women's Athletic Association. Four hundred points, or participation in four sports, is the requirement for receiving a letter. At the close of this year many of the members will have earned letters. About thirty Junior College women constitute the charter members of the association. By common consent the members agreed to initiate themselves by wearing their clothes backwards and colored bows in their hair for an entire school dav. The rest of the informal initiation was held in the gymnasium in the evening and was concluded by a kid partv. A formal initiation of taking the oath to support the association was held at a luncheon. Social activities as well as athletic events are enjoyed by the members. A snow partv held at Frazier Mountain Park furnished much excitement and fun. Taffy pulls, bridge parties, swimming, and horseback riding add to the pleasure of belonging to the association. l U BV co-operating in all student activities, it is the aim of the association to promote sportsmanship and friendliness and to help all students in enjoying their work in the Junior College: and bv sponsoring athletics and outdoor activities, it is the association's purpose to increase interest in sports and outdoor life.

Joni 'I'Ayi.oR Cat leftb JUNIOR DERRICK'- With ink, which is a dark and acid liquor, you must dare perform transfusions the painter would be too sober to attempt. The staff have done this in attempting to preserve for the future in these printed pages a living picture of the past year of work and play in the Junior College. If the yearbook succeeds in retaining for later years something of the pleasures of this year's activities and friendships, the staff will feel well repaid. Incorporation of the Junior College yearbook with that of the High School has made it possible for the college to have a book this year. The arrangement has the added advantage of enabling the college student to have a permanent record of high school activities as well as of those of his alma mater. i Without Miss Louise Lambert's generous and unfailing aid, the Derrick would have been an impossibility. The staff eive leer their most heartfelt thanks. They also wish to express their gratitude to Mr. H. l.. .lustus and Mr. M. D. Bejach for their work in taking pictures, and to Mr. T. H. Ellsworth, and Mr. D. H Schauer for their valuable assistance in the preparation of the book. The work of the following Junior College students in obtaining copy is gratefully acknowledged: Bill Evatt. Frances Perrivo, Margaret Burrell, Claude Downs. Garlyn Basham, Emma Richard. Helen Garrison, Jim Peterson, Irene Feliz. Gaye Mattoon. Dick Campbell, and Phil Kirkpatrick. The staff, in collaboration with the high school Derrick staff, have striven to make this year's Derrick refreshingly different and Worthy to uphold the tradi- tion established by the Derrick in previous years.
