Q r I' I' Early this year, while everyone was in the haze ot new activities and while classes were still in the process ot tormation, plans and ideas tor the tuture El Portal were already taking shape. As time wore on, many ot these tirst ideas were discarded-others were added. When the problems ot publication arose. a specfal trip was made to Berkeley by Mr. Crow, Mr. Westlake, Mrs. Rentz, Jerry Simas, and Lucie Campo. The mounting ot this obstacle lett another in its wake. Due to fhe wartime conditions, costs had risen, increas- ing the price ot our book accordingly. ln an ettort to raise the additional sum ot money, :wo plays, namely, Oh Johnny, and Everything's Gttf' were successtully sponsored by the statt through the cooperation ot the Drama class. These were tollowed later by the tirst Saturday Night Dance ever given 'n our gym, the theme ot which was Valen- ne's Day. We are indebted to Mr. Westlake tor his splendid cooperation. his never ending patience and his invaluable assistance which made possible so great a part ot this book. Many students, not on the statt, and several members ot the taculty have been very helptul, We are especially gratetul to Mrs. Fne and Mrs. Cahow, And to Mela Erceg our thanks tor her typing. It is our sincere wish tnat the publication expresses to your satstaction those memories pa impressions that w' A give you many moments et eieasare throughout the years.
