MENDENI-IALL Although a great deal has been said about the relative merits of our chapel programs which have been attended by students with appropriate detachment, President Menden- hall has done a great deal toward furthering his point that speeches need not be tight and tedious, as dead as a dinosaur and not nearly so interesting. Dr. Mendenhall possesses the narrative gift, a vast knowledge of his sub- ject, a sense of humor, and the gift of well- balanced compression. 1, V . I i, 'f FACULTY Mrs. Pfuetze--This enterprising dean of .women knows how to make friends among students-because she works with them and for them, not over or against them. Her enthusiasm and interests seem almost inex- haustible. Because she is a progressive in poli- tics, sociology, and religion, Mrs. Pfuetze is a friend as well as a leader of young people. She is a women's adviser-but a twentieth century edition. 1 , Mr. Hockett-One of the executives of the school who enjoys the college as a whole. He may be seen Watching football practice, talking with students on the campus, and at the plays as well as working in the treasurer's office. The explanation of his sympathetic handling of his debit and credit duties may lie in his past experience as a musician. At any rate he has succeeded in symphonizing the college budget. ' Mrs. Vfalker-Mrs. XValker, whose sad, sad tasks include issuing blue slips and plac- ing still juvenile graduates in responsible positions upon graduation, still finds time to chat even with long-suffering, but con- Hdent student poetasters. Her interest in the college literary society proves the sincerity of her conviction-that Poets should be poets in fact as Well as name. FACULTY Dr. Upton-In the Mauve Decade scholar, gentleman, friendl' would have been the tribute of Wingield-Stratford's earnest Victorians. However, we realists believe the following to be more descriptive -and much more acceptable: An academic Jack Tar, more interested in stabilizing back bones than in encouraging adolescent illusions. Dr. Cooper-In our experience this gentlemaifs drama classes have proved to be an epitome of his beloved tragi-comedy theory. Comedy UU-during the James Barrie lecture: Thais Barrie goodlu Trag- edy-Ah, need you ask?-those mid-term examinations. Mr. Ashby-May we present our debon- air speech instructor, his master's voice Ashby? The recorder is the most remarkable of the many gadgets found in that overladen third floor office. Dr. Harris-An exponent of the living Shakespeare. Students admit shedding tears copiously during the description of the death of Dr. Harris' famous horse, Hotspur. Prob- ably, the reading of the lamented taking off of the originalls soul wasn't half as touching. Mr. Don Evans-Our collegiate Bris- bane whose daily gauntlet-run between his- tory and English would leave anyone but a newspaper man in a state of complete exhaustion. Mr. Tupper-This globe trotter is emi- nently qualified to lecture on the world's great books. We state reverently that he once saw the great Ibsen. FACULTY Mrs. Hildreth-About one French city, her students know a maximum- that is Grenoble, where she studied at the univers- ity. If dormitory life there seems less cheer- ful than ours, those ski-laden street cars leaving town at five a.m. for the mountains make one desire to embark immediately. Miss Anderson-A trip through Olvera Street with Miss Anderson at Eastertime will prove the value of Spanish. To the initi- ated, the vendor's chatter becomes intel- ligible. One finds oneself miraculously pro- vided with dinner-no mixture of broken English and the sign language having been used. Miss Andrews-Wlao, seeing this digni- fied lady preside over college French and German classes would dream that she once kept store in a tiny French village? Yet she probably sold groceries as graciously as she now teaches grammar. Mrs. Milham-Devotees of the Pasadena Playhouse never tire of talking with Mrs. Milham, whose experience at that institution makes her so very interesting. Miss Bewley-Students are thankful for a sympathetic listener-to-alibis in the regis- trar's office. That's where most of our troubles begin. Mrs. Foster is kept busy as Platner hostess and mistress of the first-aid supplies. Imag- ine having a young man show up with his hand full of shot-the result of the shooting on Hadley Field during the Peace demon- stration. I' FACULTY Dr. Ostrum-Makes atoms fascinating for even an English major. He became quite a hero to some sophomores when they learned about his work with high explosives. One must carry a sharpened knife-with the courage to use it-in case he unfortunately spills the chemicals upon himself. Dr. Watson-Wlio proves one can be a scientist and be human, too. His quiet dig- nity and his pleasure in the work he does make many of us envious. Mr. Durham--Our bachelor botanist and geologist. Your bewildered reporter could only gasp, Wl1at makes 'em like that? upon reading this bulletin-board no- tice: An extra field trip will be taken dur- ing vacation as a reward for those receiving an A in the course. F. Df' Dr. Skarstedt-As a mathematician he is known only to the few hardy souls who dare penetrate the abstract realms. As the athletic board member who will talk, his chapel speeches are awaited by all because he reveals such interesting facts as the athlete's crutch superstitions. Mr. Romer-Whose mathematics and physics seemed uninteresting to most of us until his talk on the light of the night sky proved that even these subjects have a poetic side. Dr. H. F. Evans-Wlio has the ability to realize that the student's religious opinions must be thought out independently and will not be accepted upon authority. FACULTY Dr. Nila B. Smith-She is responsible for building up the education department to the high level it now maintains. This year she is in New York City supervising the publication of her new books. Mr. Alfred Jones-Who brings first- hand experience and practice directly to the college because he is at present superinten- dent of the East Wfhittier school district. Miss Kavanaugh is small and neat, thor- oughly believes her education theories. Hails from Columbia and lets you know it. Her famous last words: 'There ought to be legis- lation against it. Miss Jenkins-Who supervises the kin- dergarten, mothers the dorm, keeps the books and generally manages the Broadoaks school in a dependable manner. She likes brown playsuits, Hawaii, and her Ford coupe. Mr. MacDonald-Genial, plump, and plenty of smiles, the ex-principal from Oregon enjoys teaching facts, facts. He conducts the now-required course on com- munity excursions in a novel fashion. His favorite alibi: Let's integrate, the courses. Miss Rice-We all look up to her. You actually learn something from her. Possessed of an intense enthusiasm for her work, she just makes you enjoy upper-grade curricu- lum. Would-be cribbers have discovered her photographic memory. FACULTY Dr. Smith-Few schools boast within. their history department an embryonic Alpine climber such as he, whose academic enthusiasmfor Stubbs and Henry Adams includes clambering upon the blackboard in pressing home a principle to a delighted student audience. Dr. Henley-A Carolina boyhood or competition among basketball players may not relate to current economic problems, but used as illustrations, they have caused Dr. Henley's students to forget sometimes the novels they carry to other lectures. Charles B. Spaulding, sociologist, is an- other man of the brief case. His long legs have been seen to take the five porch steps of Redwood at one leap. Dr. Coffin is one of those few professors who have the courage to let the students speak themselves. Panel discussions are his prime enjoyment. His pince-nez and manila folders crammed with lecture outlines are seen on OXy's campus as well as in Founder's Hall. Dr. Baldwin has, perhaps by employing words found useful in discipline of Ward- man Hall, discovered his own gentle talent of evoking improvement in psychology students. J. Gustav White's office is to the right of that big palm tree of Redwood library. Vocational counsels, aptitude tests, and Y. M. C. A. secretaryships are his specialties. FACULTY Miss Haroldson's movements in the musical world are followed with interest by her Wliittier friends. And speaking of movements, this violinist sways to her music -with a grace Worthy of emulation by the students of the posture exercise classes. John Harlow Mills-His is a well-nigh insatiable thirst after knowledge, and he has not yet depleted his over-supply of ambition. Even now when he has completed a lecture, he can be seen hurrying up the hill to hear a fellow-professor deliver another one. Miss Lohmann-Here is little of the traditionally over-delicate artist, and it's true one might at Hrst think of an American co-ed majoring in P. E. by the hearty jolliry of her Ways. Dr. Evans- Praise God from Whom all blessings flow . . . If Wliittier students excel at this hymn, it is because Dr. Evans' good humor goaded us on to full volume. Miss Van Loan, who knows just how it is, prepares education majors for the shock of adolescents singing in their various de- grees of rhythm and pitch. . Mrs. Carroll Clevenger is one of the champions Whittier sends in to defend a near-lost piano art from the insouciant at- tacks by one Marx brother. FACULTY Miss Martin is a popular figure around the gym. Who would not like courses in shuffleboard and ping-pong in ten easy lessons? Miss Verhulst-May We say that only the remarkable lung-power of Miss Lucille Verhulst could and did control the antics of Spring Festival visitors upon initiation into folk-dancing? Wallace Newman-A reporter, tele- phoning Chief for baseball results, received the answer, Chapman Won. Thatis Chief -if you don't Win, it was the other team that Won. You don't say you lost. And Chief, personally applying bandages at the 15-yard-line or sitting by his bottle of water on the bench, instills more than a little of that philosophy into his teams. Crawford Peek--The importance of paper hats for a successful dinner was a fea- ture of a Spring Festival lecture by Coach Peek. And if you are the least interested in red skies at sunset, he can talk of that, too. B. G. Whitten has been it in the game of ''Who-speaks-in-the-reading-room? The readers of the Athletic Iouwfzrzl must have been ventriloquists, for many's the time an innocent wrong party was tagged by the Well-meaning B. G. Mr. A. A. Clarke is our unobtrusive but eiiicient Y.M. C. A. librarian, and we haven't seen him grouchy yet! FACULTY Bess Canright Doxsee has, in her erratic, beneficent manner, endeared herself to those connected with her art department. Typical are a cheerful, quizzical smile, a willingness to help. Elsie Gordanier, sociologically-minded, has proven a most able assistant to the art head in both executive and teaching capaci- ties. She has loftiness in ideals, profundity in thought. I Johnny Whitehead- Stuff is here and it's really mellow. A characteristic White- head statement typical of many that dapper Johnny has made in the past two years to put Wliittier on the map POETically. His are enthusiasm, initiative, personality. Miss Holmberg-As secretary to Dr. Mendenhall and the power in the outer oHice, Miss Holmberg is capable but withdrawing, eager to help yet unobtrusive. Constantly interrupted, she looks up unruflled from her littered desk to answer demands for postage stamps, thumb tacks, or the whereabouts of a faculty member. Miss Rudder-Making change rapidly :ind balancing books are but the most evident of Miss Rudderas accomplishments. She knows how to laugh, to joke, and brighten her corner with unexpected wit. Miss Haig-Because she proceeds in a quiet, unassuming way, many have come to know Miss Haig only through registration and have missed the acquaintance with a pleasing person.

Mr. Stevenson has been called a man of ideas, chief of Which is the opinion that Government is the best which governs least. EXECUTIVE CCDMMITTEE Every bill mul awry -measure That may gratify their pleas11rf', Though your fury it arouscs, Shall ln' jmssezl by both your houses! This seemed to be the spirit in which the executive committee representatives repaired to meeting, for most, if not all, of student body wishes were gratiied. A well- organized drive for better chapel programs was begun, a criticism of the honor system was carried to the student body, where it was discussed enthusiastically if not always intelligently, and plans were made for a new and revised version of the high school student receptiongarchaically known as May Day. Wlmen the committee authorized investi- gation of the possibility of establishing a Phi Beta Kappa chapter on the campus, faculty members pledged support. And, most significant, perhaps, from the student standpoint . . . dreams of a student union became very much more tangible when the college acquired the Elks' Temple. Much of the credit for the amount of work accomplished must go to that athletic executive, Chairman Newt Robinson. He seems quite capable of transferring at will his abilities from gridiron or basketball court to committee room. One surmises that his poise, friendliness, and ability to speak are equally responsible with his ath- letic prowess for the willingness of people to cooperate with him. At any rate, Mr. Newt Robinson, vice-president, Myna May berry, secretaryg Judd Wray, treasurer. 37 if- ' Margaret Lautrup, social chairman' John Ke 9 g' ler, freshman representativeg Joe Cosancl, senior representativeg Barbara Todd, editor Acropolis. Robinson's committee was assuredly an active organization which kept in direct control with the student body. Obviously, the press must be represented. Editor Willis, with her business-like elli- ciency, proved that the new woman shall be heard. No longer does the co-ed passively assent to statutes which the masculine mind has deemed worthy. The work of Miss Willis is living proof of the fact that in college parliamentary halls the pen is mightier than . . . well, almost as mighty as . . . the for- ward pass. 38 The lighter side of newspaperdom was personified by Helen Banks, representing the women students and one-eighth of the Poetess Eight. Nothing new and unusual in collegiate toggery, no unusual incident ever escaped the eagle eye of the faithful Banks. Making a bee-line from committee meeting to the Campus office, she reported all for the next week's edition. These records are a true supplement to the min- utes, and to Helen thanks is due for leaving a living portrait of the legislators. Having tried Judd Wray in small things and found him faithful, the student body can willingly testify as to his capability of assuming larger responsibilities. In these days of financial stress, his honesty and integrity as guardian of the modest treasury are appreciated. He has carried on the Perry tradition in a worthy fashion. Myna Mayberry, as secretary, added dig- nity to her duties of taking the minutes. Her sense of proportion, seriousness, and application served, it is hoped, as a model to the other members of the committee. Ed Sowers, athletic representative, was the football teamis delegation to the Execu- tive Committee. With this overpowering individual seeing that no one done the athletes wrongi' it is no wonder money was promptly voted to pay for last yearis gold footballs and that footballs for this year's championship team were almost ready and waiting as the team came off the field on November 28. In his capacity of ex officio member, Pres- ident Bill Stevenson gave to the committee its necessary progressive element. Never at loss for a new, even though not always prac- tical, idea, Bill stands for liberalism in col- lege government. Not for nothing is he a social philosopher and economist. Although the social budget was cut this year, necessitating fewer student body dances, Margaret Lautrup has succeeded in planning a well-rounded social program. She has endeavored to arrange affairs which would interest every one on the campus. Our politician, Joe Cosand of the senior class, with his diplomatic tact and sawoir faire so typical of a Franklin executive, has managed to uphold a dignity in joint council sometimes necessary for faculty approval. Now, it is time for Goodbye, good luck to President Stevenson and his outgoing staff, and a Welcome and best wishes to whomever the Orthogonian Society has picked as the next student body president. By Roberta Forsberg Roxie Willis, editor Quaker Campus g Ed Sow- ers, athletic representative, Bruce Giffen, junior representative, Helen Banks, Wornen's represen- tative. Johnny Kegler, enterprising bookstore salesman, must have been the connecting link between students and committee. Like the rural keeper of the general store, he could be seen discussing student political issues over the counter at any hour of the day. Bruce Griffen provided the cultural note. His reputation as the ingenue lead of the dramatic department was never forgotten. Diversion was always provided by Barbara Todd when she made her dramatic entrance accompanied by the bulldog. Following her classroom procedure, it was necessary that the dog be provided with a special chair at the council table. Doubtless Bebe's intelli- gent face compared favorably with those around her. f .9 -Q, 39 Following the usual Hrst-week routine in September, the Associated Women Students started the year, the school, and the new wo- men students well on their respective paths by a retreat to Balboa. There, under the wise and careful supervision of the A. W. S. Cabinet members, the nature of societies, campus activities, etc., were re- vealed to the wide-open eyes of the new col- lege co-eds. A formal banquet succeeded the retreat with the highlight being a two- minute speech by President Virginia Per- kins on Why Is a Freshman. An emergency fund for needy students, a Southern California Conference attended by A. W. S. representatives, a few programs in chapel were among the lesser activities directed particularly by President Perkins, Vice-Presidents Nelda Connally and Lulu Mings Qfirst and second semester oHicers, respectivelyj, Secretary Dot Meeker, and Treasurer Joyce Brown. However, the Asso- ciated Women Students seized the spot-light of the year when they focused it upon the fact-and thus upon themselves-that 193 6 is Leap Year-and should be properly cele- brated. A dance held on February 29 was enjoyed by every young woman Cand her distinguished escortj who could borrow the family bus Cone hundred forty-five cars- to be exact! J . Such a dance has now become a well-established college tradition with every sign pointing to its annual repetition. Yet, though the purpose is broad fto regu- late, promote, and unify all matters of par- ticular interest to women studentsj the activities are comparatively few-with the logical explanation being that this is due to the high caliber of women on our campus! By Dorothy Wclcll Virginia Perkins, president, Nelda Connally, vice-presidentg Joyce Brown, treasurer, Dorothy Meeker, secretary, Lulu Mings, vice-president. According to tradition established two years ago directly after organizing the Asso- ciated Men Students, the A. M. S. has been somewhat limited in activities. However, signs of new progress or that The Depres- sion Is Over were evident this year, for the organization established to further the welfare and interest of the men students of the college fthe A. M. S.-not Franklinslj held its first official dance in March. That this illustrious dance was well attended is evident when one considers that eighty-five men, hale and hearty, took their lady friends clear over to the Miramar -this, despite Leap Year! - Though the project list may seem low, the men were 11012 too interested in other extra- curricular activities to inject a little politics into the Association. The two big meetings a year-elections meetings, naturally!- pushed skier Kerns Vaughan to the fore as president first semester and Henry Valla, the second, adding variety also in the office of vice-president, Kenny Richardson, our four-star track star, served in that capacity for one semester and Tom Hunt for the other CHunt no longer acting as secretary- treasurer and Dean Shively elected in his placej. Not content with three officers, the men made Ed Sowers Chairman of School Traditions, Johnny Cogswell, social chair- man, and John Fobes, Bill Schmitt, and Alton Brundige chairmen of the school reception committee. Not even were the faculty overlooked by the thoughtful A. M. S., for Dr. Baldwin and Mr. Peek served as faculty advisors-under such circumstances might not even be suggested the establish- ment of an A. M. S. Wo1nei1's Auxiliary?

SENICDRS How different are our dreams of college from the memories we review as the com- mencement address gets under way! We dream of traditions, do we not? We dream we are greeted by traditional customs when we enter, and attain traditional honors as we graduate. Witness the first issue of the college news- paper which the graduating seniors were given when they entered as freshmen. They read of the proposed remodelling of the senior bench, and thrilled, thinking of the day when they should secure the privilege of sitting there as seniors. And wistfully, as seniors, they look upon the same bench they had first seen in 1932-unchanged, unre- modeled, and four years older. Take the Hrst days at college: For the men there were one-day rides into beautiful, winding Turnbull Canyon and our College Hills, and scant allowance made for apparel in case they should decide to return to habi- tation and their hearths. So their first act of independence was a pushball victory and a painting of a '36', on the Rock. They were malapert sopho- mores when the numerals were repainted next fall. 44 Take football: In this sport, it seemed, all their dreams came true, and there were adoring rooters to appreciate three cham- pionships won during the four years of their patter in the grandstands of Hadley Field. It was a pity, of course, that the athletes of their own class were preceded by Arram- bide. And it was even more unfortunate that the class of 1937 should contain so many men who blithely collected all-con- ference tags. But take bonfires: That was where they got their little digs in at the class of 1937. For there came a day when, as sophomores, they reminded the frosh of their duty of building and guarding bonfires. But the freshmen had little time to keep the bon- Hres from burning-and the Oxy students scratched a little stick tipped with phos- phorus upon the heap with unholy joy Ctypical where Whittier was concernedll Take rallies: The entire student body, worked into a white heat over the bonfire affair, looked glumly out of windows the next morning. Then profs and students looked at each other with a glint in their eyes. And morning classes were erupted by serpentining, chanting, dervish-like rooters who ran, yelled, hollered, whooped and swooped off the hill. Down they went to the Seventh and Broadway of Whittier where they succeeded in tying up all traffic for a considerable time. The game was won, the Times carried a write-up of the rally, and what is more-the plaster Cxy Tiger was incarcerated in the Whittier' commun- ity gaol. Take whiskerinos and gay nineties, epi- sodes: lt was in the latter that Almendinger came into a glory all his own-as a serio- comical Reginald Denny of the 1890's, complete in all details: spats, tails, bouton- niere, cane, monocle, and derby. It was one of the crowning proofs of his dramatic ability when he completely upset that self- composed professor, Dr. Coilin, by tripping in at 8:05 for Philosophy 4. Stevenson, a lanky sophomore, came attired in a night- shirt of a quite proper length, topped by a friendly, flopping stocking cap, candle in hand! Take class plays: They were the last class to present a junior class play, if history does not in the future return to the custom. They chose Tl7fC'6-C0l'IIC'V6?l1 Moon. Steven- son revealed astonishing capabilities in a seri- ous role in that vehicle. Last year's Acro- polis tells the rest-unfortunately. Take inaugurations: The inauguration of President Mendenhall took place in the September of 1934. And there were other inaugurations-in the customs of the stu- dent body, perhaps not so serious. There was the Poetess Prom, converted in its second year into a conventional affair by the inci- dence of leap year. But, if custom con- tinues, just watch the poetesses in 1937 go for their men! The ringing of the Victory Bell inaugu- rated another custom when the Bell was dedicated in the spring of the same year which saw the Prom and the Canzjms dollars make an advent. And the Bell rang in a basketball and a football championship before the seniors had donned cap and gown. With the arrival of the Qzmlzev' Cmzzpus dollar idea, Ed Sowers corralled a huge sucker, and Stevie made an astonishing investment in lingerie which was discreetly hushed up. Lauretta Wood, secretary, Allan Dorland, treasurer, Virginia Hoefer, social chairman. Take the luminaries: Of those who real- ized their dreams, if they dreamed at all, there were more than one. In the drama, the seniors could present several members before the student body and visitors to Poet Theatre. And those who figured outstand- ingly in drama during their years here were Hayden Almendinger, Bill Stevenson, Jack Swain, and John Cogswell. Too, Ruth Johns as Manuela in Girls in Uniform, and Lois Thomas as Madame Seward in M611 Must Fight gave outstanding portrayals. In sports there were those who repre- sented Whittier by their individual perfec- tion. Kerns Vaughan was Whittier's only entry in winter sports Carnivals, and placed high during each competition for his four years here. In football, there was George La Form, 1935 All-conference tackle. In track, we had Captain Johnny Baker, the two-miler. In tennis, there was Howard Whitney, winner of the All-City Whittier tennis cup last summer. And so it should be, when the dews of eve are falling, that the seniors should have more than one memory to look back upon. What they knew as freshmen as the women's hockey Held, they as alumni may title the quad, the minor disillusions may disappear, and they may only remember the campus loved so wellf' For in the dusks and the early mornings of the last four years, Whit- tier campus has been peopled in all her activities with the students who graduate this June.

For with one exception, the A11- conference players were their classmates. With honorable mention to Hutchdowns, a football captain, a basketball captain, and the victory of the interclass track meet fall junior eventsj , the athletic element can be disposed of. Marshall Clark, lanky presi- dent, donned footb-up-p-p-, tuxedo to pre- side over the purely social gatherings of the class. But because Nelda Connally, social chairman, arranged herself the most impor- tant social aiiiair of the year with Carl Sieg- mund, '35 Cand football playerj , her duties were shifted second semester to Shirley Vitt, another Metaphonian social luminary. As this virile, brawny copy lumbered to the press, the class was arranging an evening in honor of the less athletically represented ffen, trea- K I A ntg below, Nelda Connally and Shirley Vitt, social chair- meng Dorothy Baker, secretary. gym or an Orthogonian musical, the class of '36 shivered in fright-filled, fascinated ex- pectancy. But-ah-the juniors, on the Whole, are noted for their romantic ideals Ca rare malady due to a deficiency of Dr. Upton's courses.j Perhaps the prescription that the juniors so afflicted attend a free 20-minute Uptonian lecture during Spring Festival struck at the root of their intellectual Charley-horse. So the awed senior Women discovered in astonishment that the junior men could actually speak of philosophy and economics with the best of Dr. CofHn's and Dr. Hen- ley's seniors. And junior women, who heaved a grateful sigh to see their great big men temporarily occupied With a new amusement-I repeat, the junior Women proceeded to enjoy a rare opportunity really to Waltz and fox-trot.

The classmates dined ensemble at La Posada and then adjourned to the Redlands Country Club to dance. The members of the Sopho- more class at Redlands were the guests of horror, and a deplorable time was had by all. The class, consisting of about a hundred members and six students, was ably led dur- ing the first semester by Ward Keasbey and Dashing Dick de Moulpied. They were reelected second semester amid tumultuous acclarnation. Rumor has it that this was owing to the support of the coeds, who have a characteristic weakness for actors and strong, silent men.

But what might be termed a more com- plete understanding of his status and a more appropriate attitude toward small college life have taken the place of traditional ego- tistical arrogance in this year,s freshman, upperclassman appreciation of this meta- morphosis is witnessed by the pledging of forty-three freshmen to campus societies.

Editor RCDXIE WILLIS Business Manager JCI-IN SEITZ Nice big paper you have, Roxie, they said skeptically in September. Thais an old stunt of the Quzzker Campus. They start out big and then the'advertising drops. Then they shrink. Think you can keep it up? We did. Because John Seitz proved a con- scientious and effective business manager, the Qzmkcr Ccmzjms of 193 S -36 published a record number of thirty-two issues of seven- column papers throughout the year. Volume 22, number 1, appeared the third day of the first college week, September 18, because the staff organized for work before college started. The paper was published in three days following Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, and Spring Vacations. Because news is fresher, advertising bene- fitted, and more people are around to get the paper, the publication date was changed from Friday to Wednesday. Most college Weeklies publish on Wednesday anyway. The Quaker Crmzjms rated in the Hrst- class honor rating or excellent group in the 1936 All-American Critical Service for Col- lege Newspapers conducted this spring by the Associated Collegiate Press. Features rated highest were interpretative articles, sports stories, headlines, sports sections, edi- torial features, and special features. Physical improvements in the Quaker Campus office were made, a morgue of cuts and a file of exchanges begun, and a definite reporting system by means of duplicate as- signment slips was inaugurated. Through the cooperation of John White- head, college publicity man, the Qualzer Canzjms printed approximately three cuts a week. A superior feature were the detailed lino- leum cuts Hollenbeck made weekly. His little old Quaker man, though unfortunately yet unchristened, should become a tradition on par with Cal's Golden Bear and the U. S. C. Trojan. As usual dirt columns were a delicate fea- ture. A college paper can't live without them and can't live with them. Successive attempts to meet the need were High Brows- ing, Joe Ribber, Party Line, and Juniper Johnson,s Campus Scandals. Because members of the editorial staff clicked with considerable consistency throughout the year, they were rewarded with a staff party May 14, which included dinner at McDonnell's Monterey and a thea- tre party to see Gladys George in Persomzl Appeamfzce or How Far Is the Bam? at the Belasco Theatre. An earlier staff party in- cluded dinner at Rene and Jean's and a tour of the Los Angeles Times plant. Assistants on the editorial staff were: Catherine Biggers, associate editor, Howard Whitney, sports editor, Art North, assistant sports editor, Hazel Hayes, Paul Gardner, copy editors, Iola Doncyson, feature editor, Roger Hollenbeck, art editor, and Paul Gardner, art editor. By R ' XVillis 71 THE CRQPGLIS We have somehow found that the foot- steps do not remain for long on the sands of time, and that they do have an extremely monotonous sound. Deep down inside of us, that primitive urge for the Real Thing has prompted us to an effort to do away with the stereotyped form of yearbook with its conventional layouts and portraits, our book has no story but it is larded and basted with the juice of character study-the candid camera shots into professors, Private Lives and students, Souls. First to come to our aid when we were suffering from fancy layouts and even fancier prices, was our engraver, Mr. Canni- cott, who listened to our ideas with that worldly, kindly fatigue which one associates with the nicer sort of uncle in the stories of P. G. Wodehouse. Then we discovered our gem of a photographer, Midori, to whom certainly should be voted a gold medal in reward for school spirit. Sympathetic and imaginative were Mr. Bergsten of Times- Mirror and Earle A. Gray, bookbinder, who have materially contributed to our compila- tion of ultra-modern tendencies. Burton Parminter arose triumphantly in the several crises with our advertisers, and his staff of Winnie Smith, Gordon Foster, and Bob Akers are herein given a vote of thanks. Roberta Porsberg we have discovered as the biggest prize of the whole year-the woman 72 not only took over the job of copy-editing, but even wrote a great part herself, fending herself from the terrors of Uptonian censorship. As yet Mary Wriglit, our little Bluebon- net gal, has identified few pictures but she will soon be put to work correcting galley- proof, and Virginia Hoefer has put in her time writing up the social events. Verda Hawkins has surmounted difficulties pre- sented by seniors who hand in their activities minus names, or written on handkerchiefs, blotters, or blocks of wood veneer Qcredit for which is due Ed Douglasl . Eugenia, of the Easy Street Crumrines, has not, we fear, been properly and publicly thanked for her transportation facilities so freely irendered. Our quartet of men's sports writers, Cliff Thyberg, Howard Wliitiiey, Lanibert Fer- guson, and Art North, are to be congratu- lated in that their stories were not only in on time, but that they actually hounded us with material weeks before time. Ward Keasbey is the gentleman who came to the front with perfect picture schedules, and through a little favoritism has been titled assistant editor. Above all are we thankful for the advice and instruction in yearbook makeup which the past two Acropolis edi- tors, Alice Martin and Robert Cole, have given us.

I finally met my Nemesis, when after shunning that bloodhound for copy, Roberta Forsberg, for three weeks, Forsberg commanded, Quit stalling. The play's partly cast. Doesn't that sound as if they're going to give it? Although the board cramped the seniors considerably on the amount of time it allotted them to produce a senior play, that appears to be its worst fault. Aside from this, the board is responsible for choosing three successful plays, Lawrence and Lauren's Men Must Fighi, Sidney Howard and Paul de Kruif,s Yellow fczcla, and Stowe's Uncle T011z's Calvin, all of which were popu- lar with the students and all of which caused Ward Keasbey to be chosen a Knight and the outstanding dramatic star of this year. As this book goes to press, N oak, written and translated by Andre Obey, is being rehearsed nightly to be presented by a frag- ment of the senior class in the Poet amphi- theatre, Friday, June S. Snag after snag are confronting Director Albert Upton and 76 DRAMA Associate director Marjorie I-Iildreth. Cliff Byerley will be the man of the hour when he succeeds in learning everything the title role needs. Noah, God's faithful and sturdy helper, has more lines than the rest of the cast put together. A sweet job for a com- parative newcomer to the Poet stage. The role gives a beautiful opportunity for real acting changes and develops powerfully throughout the drama. John Cogswell can be depended upon to give a dependable per- formance in the important role of Ham, the doubting son, whose skepticism almost con- quers his father's glorious faith. Cogswell is an old-timer on the Poet stage for many rea- sons, dramatics-one of his best roles was in Yellow jack-glee club, guitar, and his being yell leader. Roxie Willis, who did bits last year in Girls in Uniform and Thl'f?L'-COFl7C'l'C'Cl Moon, plays Mama, Noah's adoring, superficial but well-meaning wife, who lacks the faith and spirit to follow her husband to the end. Going back to the Drama Board and its responsibility, there are: Chairman Dr. Up- ton, Dr. Charles Cooper, W. Theron Ashby, Secretary Barbara Todd, Bill Stevenson as BOARD ex-officio president of the student body, and Hayden Almendinger, student manager who resigned second semester to get a whack at teaching. The kernel of the board's year's work con- sisted of purchasing a recording machine and sound equipment for the stage, and choosing four plays, Men Must Figbf, Yellow jack, Uncle Tonfs Cabin, and Noah. Purchase of the sound chosen by Ashby, Hnancial adviser and director of the budget, was a much- needed addition and will be paid for over a two-year period, Ashby said. The board hopes next year to add to its electrical equip- ment. This new speech equipment was used as practical class equipment for both upper and lower division speech work, and many clutched the microphone rod for the first time to gasp But what'll I say? Helen Anderson's voice took beautifully. Others didn't. Some discovered their voices faded out periodically in a speech, some hissed, some lisped, some stuttered. Lois Thomas went in for an approximation of a James Joyce thought stream, while the record whirled silently for twenty seconds in the middle of the speech. Gretchen Evans' brain child Ta ra ra Boomdeeayu wafted up from Hayden Almendinger, Barbara Todd, Bill Stevenson the stage to put up some strong competition. Ashby remained imperturbable throughout as he started the record and waited for each voice to be recognized by its parent. Men Must Figbf, directed by Dr. Upton and given October 8 by the drama depart- ment, had as juvenile leads Barbara Dawson, Fullerton Jaysee star, and Bruce Giffen. Outstanding performances were given by Lois Thomas as Madame Seward and Barbara Todd as Laura Seward. Maintaining his well-earned reputation for presenting first-class plays well, Dr. Cooper presented for the Franklins Yel- low lack, January 16 and 17. Keasbey, Swain, and Cogswell did their usual good work, fundamentally backed by the fine stage effects which only Dr. Cooper can produce. Always giving an excellent per- formance, Barbara Todd as Miss Ophelia did superior work in Uncle Tonfs Crzbin, pre- sented by the drama department April 23-25 as a popular part of the Spring Festival. Lor- raine Smith was good as Topsy, and Chet Halley, Winston Van Leuven, Ruth Johns and Cliff Byerley appeared perfectly cast. Dr. Cooper directed.

WOMENS GLEE CLUB This year saw the advent of a somewhat startling innovation in the way of singing organizations on the campus-the A Capella choir. About thirty-five lusty voices re- ported for action the hrst morning and lost no time getting to work on the year's reper- toire under the direction of Dr. Evans. The organization has been a most active one this year, and we have been led to believe that its frequent jaunts over this section of the country have occasioned a good bit of comment. The group boasts three radio appearances, a co-star program with the well-known Laudisti singers of Pasadena, numerous Sunday evening church concerts, a successfully presented home concert, as well as many appearances in Wliittier and on the campus. The women's glee club, which formed the 86 female voices of the choir, also reaped full rewards under the leadership of Mary Cog- burn, president. Although largely occupied with choir work, the club maintained its own identity and gave several concerts indepen- dent of the masculine influence. The good- sized repertoire held a wide variety of numbers ranging from fantasies and light, amusing numbers, to Bach chorals. Dorothy Pfeiffer was the accompanist for the group. Two trios were formed to give variety to programs and to be used where a smaller group was desired. They consisted of Oriel Crewdson, Mildred Moss, and Doris Cro- footg and Barbara Lemon, Genevieve Joy, and Mary Cogburn. All in all, the season was thoroughly successful, and the club looks forward to a similar one next year with Doris Crofoot as its new president. By Shirley Vin MENS GLEE CLUB Have you ever been disturbed on Monday morning during first hour by loud, albeit harmonious, noises emanating from the music building? About eight-thirty you might be fortunate enough to be invited by Marsh Clark and Al La Fleur, the famous breakfast-comes-first boys, to enter the practice room with them. You would re- ceive a Warm welcoming smile from genial Dr. Frederick Vance Evans, and further favorable impressions would be yours when you were introduced to Gerald Bruce. His sincere attitude, his evident musicianship, and the power of his personality are incor- porated in his presidential bearing. As your eyes wandered over the members of the club, they might be arrested for an instant at the sight of Ralph Grove, the vice- president, comfortably seated on the back of his neck and evidently trying to make up for sleep lost over the Week-end. Next to him you would observe Ward Keasbey sing- ing bass and strongly impressing Ed Neu- shutz, the only frosh in the club, with his man-of-the-world manner. Wllile Wa1'd's duties as secretary were not very arduous, any member of the fair sex will testify to his value to the club from an ornamental stand- point. At the other end of the group, in the tenor section, you would find yourself gaz- ing with awe at a chin thrust determinedly in the general direction of the ceiling, find- ing behind this bearded barrier none other than Dean Krebs, the treasurer of the club. His friendly greeting and honest mien make it very apparent that the group funds were entrusted to very capable hands.

Ruth Haroldson as conductor, with her inspiring musicianship and skill in conducting, has built up an am- bitious repertoire of symphonies, symphonic poems, concerto accompaniments, and the finer orchestra compositions. Five local con- certs in the Women's Clubhouse and two out-of -town engagements, including an appearance in the Ford Bowl at the Cali- fornia - Paciic -International Exposition in San Diego, were presented through the year. A new plan was adopted in which one hundred and sixty-five Whittier citizens gave their support as patrons and patron- esses, thus enabling the orchestra nnancially to build up an orchestral library, help buy needed instruments and to meet other expenses. 88 .11- -1lF ' S The executive board consists of President Margaret Binford, Manager MaryO Van Dernan, Secretary Marian Budlong, Trea- surer John Maxon, Publicity Chairman Oriel A.

STRING QUARTET The Wliittier College String Quartet, which is composed of Ruth Haroldson, first violin, Emily Romer, second violin, Florence Crumley, viola, and Carol Clevenger, has again contributed largely in bringing a knowledge of chamber music to the campus and to Wliittiei'. Under the leadership of Ruth Haroldson, director of string instru- mental music at che college, the Quartet has enlarged its repertoire and become a nucleus in a new organization in chamber music. The Chamber Music Society, meeting once a month, has taken into its membership those instrumentalists who are interested in playing and studying the different forms of chamber music. Several interesting concerts have been presented with little-heard com- positions as Beethoven's Septet for Strings, Bassoon, Clarinet, and Horn, his Trio for Violin, Viola, and Flute 5 the Bach Third Brandenburg Concerto for Strings and Piano and a Mozart Violin and Viola Duo. The year's program has included concerts for the students in the college chapel. And the student reception of the quartet proved that Wliittier undergraduates do appreciate good music when they are given an oppor- tunity to hear it. These Women deserve credit for accom- plishing a needed work-through their efforts the musicians of Sou1:hern California are made to realize that the college is music- minded in the highest sense of the Word. It is to be hoped that the community appreci- ates their efforts as much as do the students and faculty.

WF ' v 'P' .Wim vw , Q ' v VENTS Freshman Reception: After the recep- tion given in their honor, freshmen and new students felt duly impressed with, and initi- ated into the college,s social life and women's stag line. This annual affair was held Friday evening, September 20, at the Wliittier Wo- men's Club. Dancing to Ray Cutler's orchestra was enjoyed the latter part of the evening after the student body had managed to stagger through the receiving line and live through the torture of the traditional program pre- sented by the frosh. Highlights of the eve- ning were Midori's first appearance and his candid camera stunt, shooting faculty mem- bers, Ashby's first appearance in a white tux and resulting feminine heart-throbs. The Orthogonians indulged in their usual exploits after the ten-thirty time limit, and the 92 Franklins took care of most of the women in their exclusive social whirl. Society Teas: Pity the poor tea lover. After the four women's societies get through pouring what they call tea down the helpless new women, something as strong as water is a relief. This year, on September 24, the Athenians, on September 26, the Meta- phonians, on October 1, the Thalians, and on October 3, the Palmers, put on their long dresses and their most superior manner and did their duty by the bored and behatted newcomers. Simplicity was the keynote of the 3-to-5 affairs. And necessarily so. By the time the women got through paying for last year's elaborate teas, it was time to turn over the twenty-five-dollar fee to the Acropolis. Inter-Dorm Party: Living in the dorm does have its advantages. The women of Platner, Bolte and Way have at least one more date a year than the off-campus co-eds, when the time for the inter-dorm theatre party comes around. The dormitories have this annual affair early, witness October 19 of this year, hoping that maybe some of the honored ones will get ideas. Ah! Bi1fte1'swcct.' Sweet hopes and bitter failure. Noel Coward's musical comedy of that name provided the evening's entertain- ment, and eating in Mexican atmosphere sliced another hole in the girls' allowances afterwards. Alumni Homecoming: Even the spry- est members of the alumni had to admit weariness after the full Fifth Annual Home- coming Day planned in their honor. First came the seven society breakfasts and lunch- eons for them. Then two numbers on the program which have no business being men- tioned in these social columns, the Armistice parade and the Oxy massacre, but it just has to be proven that the poor grad had a right to be tired. In the evening both alumni and students were feasted and feted at a gala banquet in the Women's Club, honoring especially the 1915 football team. Later the guests who were not dozing in their armchairs or wouldn't trod on their beards in dancing joined with the student body in gliding to Glen Gilmore's orchestra. Women's Formals: Men were as scarce as hen's teeth two months before December 6. Knowing the situation on the campus, our favorite question is, Why do the women's societies insist on having their formals on the same night? But thatis old, the really colos- sal idea was pulled by the Metaphonians and the Palmers. To everyone's surprise these two societies dined and danced their escorts at the same rendezvous-the Deauville Club in Santa Monica. Members of these two social Cthose literary days have gonej organ- izations held up fairly well under the strain, having decided beforehand to act like ladies and not repeat the Franklin-Lancer Del Mar affair of last year. Thalians sallied to the Beverly-Wilshire and the Athenians jammed themselves into the Wilshire Bowl. Football Banquet: What with every- one connected with the football season get- ting free tickets for the banquet in their honor, and what with'the women's societies' formals the week before, a few of the brawny, brave men played the game and a larger percentage of co-eds saw action Sat- urday evening, December 14, at the Whittier Womenis Club. Celebrating the Poets, second consecutive year as conference grid champions, gold footballs were handed over by Dr. Menden- hall to twenty-one men, most of whom handed them directly over to their wives. Captain Prince Rusk, by passing a gold- colored football to Walter Dahlitz, signified the latter's election as captain for 1936. Swede Nelson was presented with a gold watch in appreciation of his consistently valuable playing. A permanent trophy in recognition of the team's successful season was given by Victor York, local booster. Those who were not too stiif to move after the season's activities danced to Mason Mal- lory's music. Mountain Party: An all-day mountain party characterized chiefly by the absence of snow and participants was planned but scarcely attended by the student body. Those few who did seek relaxation after finals during mid-semesters on January 27 played volleyball in shorts because they didn't want to go skiing, skating, and sleigh- ing anyway. Hot food prepared for a cold day was served inappropriately at noon. Poetess Prom: Despite its having been declared that it is leap year always at Whit- tier College, one hundred and forty-two wo- 93 I men leaped at the opportunity to pay and pay for an evening of dancing, February 29. Poetesses not only asked and paid their escorts' way, but also furnished transporta- tion, called for and presented boutonnieres, traded dances weeks ahead of time, and even dined their escorts after the dance. The event, the second annual Poetess Prom, was held at the Surf and Sand Club at Hermosa Beach. During the intermission Arlene Salm and Earl Furry, our skillful dancers of whom we're justly proud, per- formed two exhibition dances. Women's Rush Parties: Gently-no coercion this year-sweeping eligible new women off their feet, society members per- formed their only ofiicial part of rushing about the first few weeks of March. It might be a matter of life and death-or maybe it is-the way the older women work, plan, 94 and keep secret the plans for these events. It was a dead secret C dead and very much for- gottenj and a surprise to a few when the Athenians ended up at Palm Springs for lunch with those lucky enough to be summoned. Metaphonians romped over the terraced lawns of the Norconian Club with their guests. Swimming, croquet, badminton, boating, and ping-pong Hlled the afternoon, and dinner in the main dining-room filled the rushees and members. Lunching at the Biltmore and playing at the El Capitan as they were Lealzing on Lefty were the Palmers and those they were rush- ing. Trucking went the Thalians. Meaning they exposed their hopefuls to the elements and hied themselves to the mountains for the week-end. Notice the alphabetical order of the societies. This is the closest together the A's and Mets have been on any subject the whole year. Rufus Party: Unanimously acclaimed the rowdiest party of the whole year was the distinction given the hey-hey uproar held in Wardman gym the evening of March 12. Games in which the vast majority of the student body unbendingly joined featured the entertainment. A. M. S. Formal: Supposedly to recip- rocate the Poetess Prom, the men gave a cor- responding affair at the Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, March 21. Only some women didn,t receive corsages, some didn,t get fed, and some didn't even get reciprocated. Sev- enty men fthe difference is subtracted from one hundred forty-two womenj and their ladies of honor danced to the melodious orchestra of Glen Gilmore at this, the first program of its kind sponsored by the A. M. S. Rumors have it that next year the men will entertain in the Poet room of the Williain Penn Hotel, if more space is needed. Intersociety Ball: Saturday evening, May 2, members of the women's societies and their escorts searched frantically for the Lake Norconian Club. The large club was the scene of the annual intersociety formal ball. After finding the place some one hun- dred couples spent the entire evening trying to locate partners for such and such a dance on their program. Not that the black marble floor was crowded, but because most of the Quaker offspring couldnlt leave the slot machines alone. It came to the point that one organization present was so ashamed of the infantile goings-on of the company that they gave the group eleven gongs an hour before midnight. Carnival: From men in sunbonnet blues to women in Navy blues, all Cas many as ever doj attended the third annual mas- querade ball and carnival at the clubhouse on Friday evening, May 7. Upstairs the O's looked comfortable as they danced while the Sons of Ben came in costume, and down- stairs a few people wandered around search- ing for the Palmer, Athenian, Orthogonian, and Franklin booths. A All-College Weeli-end: Every year about the middle of May Newport Harbor throws a party, or rather has a party thrown at it by Whittier College. Some people go down Thursday night but the week-end opens formally with the'all-college picnic at Corona, Friday. It's the thing to do to go to the dance at the Rendezvous Friday night, and those who aren't baked to a turn on Friday bask in the sun Saturday and Sun- day until they are. But it takes the men's l initiations to do things up right, and every night most of the houses taken by societies are kept in an upheaval until dawn. Junior-Senior Banquet: ln the lake- view dining-room of the Norconian Club the seniors were entertained with a free meal and dancing at the juniors' expense on Fri- day evening, May 22. After the five-course banquet, Marshall Clark spoke a few words of welcome and Francis Ott responded with the properly-expected thanks. With some malice aforethought having been given to the problem of how steadies from other schools could be invited to this affair, there were almost as many outsiders as upperclass- men. A stuffed olive to the Frosh or Soph who figures out a way. A few brave souls who could have been putting in time on finals and term papers burned the candles at both ends and spent a few chilling hours fthe eyes of the oflice are upon usj in the club swimming pool.

Conference football champions. But lingering on are the memories of that brilliant, thrill-provoking comeback drive staged by Captain Prince Rusk and his Poet pigskin crew down the back stretch of the most bitterly fought gridiron flag race this conference has witnessed in recent years. And today-as tomorrow-the Champs,, are the toast of this college campus. Few realized the difficult task faced by Coach Newman in molding together an eleven capable of repeating the title trek of 1934 when the opening day of practice on Hadley Field saw all but three members of the 1934 championship team in moleskins. Week by Week in the early stages of his ambitious pre-conference campaign the Chief saw his title hopes dwindle in the wake of five successive defeats as he sought in vain for a capable guiding hand to suc- ceed Johnny Arrambide in the huddle. It was following a gallant, if not spectac- ular, stand against the heavily-favored Golden Bears of California in the Berkeley Captain, Prince Rusk, Captain-elect, Walter Dahlitzg most valuable player, Howard Nelson. 103 f Bowl that Newman's sophomore stars o a year ago graduated into jittery juniorsf' And before the popular Indian was able to rally his cleated proteges from the disastrous slump, such power-packed football ma- chines as those carrying the colors of Loyola University, University of Arizona, and na College had steam-rollered over the Pomo lifeless Poets.

'z The season in retrospect: Hadley Field, September 21: Until to- day, the name of Buzz,' Borries, late of Annapolis, merely reflected All-American exploits on the gridiron. This afternoon in the annual preview showing of the Whittier team, Ensign Borries gave cause for your Poets to respect his name when he placed his U.S.S. Arizona fleet team to a 26-19 Win. The slightly-built Borries proved himself the big-gunn of the Navy attack with as stellar a running and passing exhibition as the college tanbark has provided in many a day. Berkeley, September 28: An opening-day Bay Region football audience of 24,000 sat in Memorial Stadium here today in amazed silence as a Valiant, determined Whittier College team held Stub Allison's widely- heralded Bear regulars scoreless for fifty-one long minutes. The Poet victory bubble, blown to alarming proportions after three periods of scoreless play, was finally punc- tured in the fading minutes of the fourth quarter when the Bears converted a Quaker mistake and a blocked punt into a touch- down and a 6-0 triumph. 107 Los Angeles, October 4: A battered band of Poets met a revengeful crew of Lions here tonight under the arc lights of Gilmore Stadium. The result read: Loyola, 335 Whittier, 0. The Poets were willing but woefully weak. Still tired from the Berke- ley fracas, the Purple and Gold line leaked like a sieve as Tom Lieb's Playa del Rey team pranced to touchdowns almost at will. The largest crowd of the season jammed the Gil- more turnstiles. l l l l l l l l l Tuscon, October 11: Under University of Arizona Stadium floodlights and before a big homecoming day crowd of fans, Chief Newman's jittery juniors toiiight ab- sorbed their worst beating in years from a powerful wildcat eleven. The scolre favored the hosts, 45 -O. Numerous misplays by the Poet aggregation combined to tiurn what had been publicized as uanybodys game into a complete rout. Danny Tebbs, stellar Whittier wingman, suffered a severe head injury and no less than five Poets limped off 108 the field during the night. 3 l l all '33 Newt Robinsong below, Ed Sowers, Chief New- ang left, Elvin Hutchison, Ed Patterson. :1 5.4, L! . 1 r 5- at ,, we Q Q. lm f 'HJ ,gg W 'E l 'Ti X T!, ,g'7.- ' I Claremont, October 18: There was a hot time in this college town tonight as sup- porters of Pomona College's blue and White celebrated a convincing 14-0 football tri- umph over Wllittierls defending conference champions. It was a sluggish, spotty-playing Quaker team that met defeat today at the hands of the lighter but more aggressive Sagehen grid combine. Hadley Field, October 25: The Poets were on their way back tonight following a 13-0 victory debut against San Diego State's Aztecs in the opening game of the 1935 conference campaign.

The Quakers came back with a vengeance in the third quarter to tie the score on a pass from Hutchison to Tebbs, and late in the fourth managed to sneak the same Mr. Tebbs out in the open for a touchdown-labeled aerial from Swede Nelson. M Hadley Field, November 11: Superior Poet power smothered Occidental today un- der a barrage of touchdowns which ran into seven goal-line excursions and a 5 2-0 victory for a great Wliittier College team. A gala Homecoming Day audience jammed the college stadium to see the Poets score their Tom Hunt third successive victory over Oxy in as many seasons. The heralded aerial attack of the Eagle Rock eleven never materialized and Bill Anderson's quarterbacks were in constant trouble through their own daring. Hutchi- son, Nelson, Wood, Robinson-they all had their moments, and the Tigers were mighty glad to get off the field when the final gun ended the contest with Wliittier's third- string players running wild. George La Form 'o-dig Don Robinson Lyman Dietrick ,-1 a if Santa Barbara, November 15 : Before a shivering mass of grid fanatics in Pershing Park tonight, Poetville,s prides of the grid- iron subdued a stubborn Santa Barbara State team by a 6-0 score to continue unmolested toward another conference crown, when Howard Nelson and his fellow ball-carriers finally penetrated the stiff Gaucho defense to score a touchdown in the third quarter after a sustained drive from the Whittier 15 -yard line. Redlands, November 23: A flashy, well- coached Redlands team today successfully withstood the far-famed power of the Whittier Poets to eke out a 6-0 triumph by reason of the most brilliant aerial maneuvers ever seen in this conference. ll4 The Bulldogs literally sprinkled their home field with passes, plays which brought into the limelight and touchdown territory everything from straight aerial thrusts to triple laterals. The Poets marched within crawling dis- tance of the goal line three different times only to have an inspired Redlands line rally with a front-line defense that was impreg- nable. Hadley Field, November 28: Whittier College boasted another championship foot- ball team today following a Thanksgiving day grid finale that saw Coach Newman's heavier eleven roll over La Verne, 26-7. Both teams played wide-open football, with the Leopards thrilling the crowd with a final-quarter touchdown play through the air. By Clif Tbybcrg and John Whitehead Coaches George Chisler and Chuck Kendle' I Captain-elect Newt Robinson, Captain Elvin Hutchison. BASKETBALL Not satisfied in turning out a conference championship football eleven, Coach Chief Newman took over the varsity basketball duties for the first time since his coming here in 1929. Three lettermen, several varsity reserves, and a lone sophomore formed the nucleus of the Quaker casaba prospects. At the start of the season, Whittier was rated no better than fourth position in the conference by sport critics. Redlands boasted the outstanding quintet, while San Diego and Occidental were rated over Whittier. Wayne Wilson, 1935 frosh captain, proved to be the sensation of the local outfit. In his first year on the varsity, the Poet forward led the conference in scoring with a total of 104 points in 10 games, and he was voted the most valuable Whittier player by local fans. Wilson and Lyman Dietijick, guard, were the only Poets placed on the all-Conference second team selected by the coaches at the end of the season. Redlands dominated the first five with three men selected. Managers John Eastman, Tom Woodnutt, Don Henderson, Eugene Barmore. Most valuable player, Wayne Wilson. 118 Seven players and two managers received letters for their services. Lettermen are: Captain Elvin Hutchison, Captain-elect Newt Robinson, Bill Moorhead, Lyman Dietrick, Wayime Wilson, Howard Wliitney, Ken McNall, and Managers Gene Barmore and Don Henderson. Whittier 28, La Verne 26, January 10: A game, speedy little La Verne quintet nearly dumped any title hopes Whittier might have had in the opening conference clash played on the Leopard hardwood. The Quaker starting lineup consisted of Hutchison, Wil- son, Whitney, Moorhead, and McNall. The Poet offense was slow in getting under way, scoring only two Held goals in the first half as La Verne piled up a 13-6 lead. In the second half, Newman's quintet slowly closed the gap and, in the final minute of play, Moorhead, Poet guard, sunk a fleld goal to break a 26-26 tie. Eisan, Leopard pin-wheel artist, led the scoring with 12 points. Whittier 29, La Verne 26, January 11: Tonight's encounter was the reverse of the previous tilt, excepting that it ended the same. The Poets led at half time 17 -13. With the start of the second half, La Verne pulled up and later evened the score at 26-all. With less than two minutes to go, Whitney, Poet center, broke the tie with a long field goal. Captain Hutchison closed the scoring with a free throw. McNall, Quaker guard, displayed a fine defensive exhibition in hold- ing Eisan to three field goals for the evening. Whittier 20, Redlands 37, January 18: Starting fast with a shower of field goals, the top-rated Bulldog quintet completely out- classed Whittier in a lop-sided game played on the winner's court. The fast-breaking Bulldog offense from its zone defense worked to near perfection as the Baptists piled up a 25-9 half-time lead. Whittier could only hold its own in the final half. Hutchison, Poet skipper, and Crawford, Bulldog guard, tied for scoring honors at 9 points each. Whittier 19, Redlands 26, January 25: With a new pair of guards, Dietrick and Robinson, playing spectacular ball, the Potent Poets put up a gallant fight on their home floor before succumbing to the pennant-bound Bulldog live in a close con- test. Tonight's fracas saw Whittier start off Lyman Dietrick Carl Davis, Ed Patterson, Elvin Hutchison Bill Moorhead, Howard Whitney, Ken McNa1lZ Newt Robinson Art N h B , ort , urt Parminter, Chief Newman. 1 fast to lead 7-0 after the first five minutes. Redlands found the range and went out at half time with a 15-11 lead. Wilson and Robinson sank field goals at the start of the half to tie the score at 15-all, but from here the Baptists slowly pulled away. Each team scored 9 field goals, free throws deciding the game. Whittier 44, Santa Barbara 32, February 7: Newman again shifted the starting lineup, inserting Moorhead at center, and the Poet offense clicked better than any time previ- ous. However, the Poets started slow, the Gauchos going into an early 12-1 lead. just as things looked darkest, the Quakers went on a scoring spree and completely outclassed the Saints, chalking up 25 points to their opponent's 2 as they led 26-14 at the inter- mission. Los Gauchos' play was spotty as Whittier, led by Wilson and Moorhead, went on to win by a 12-point margin. 120 Bill Moorhead, Kenny McNall Whittier 33, Santa Barbara 19, February 8: Tonight's contest saw Whittier lead all the way, never being in danger from the out- set, and climb back into second place in the conference standings behind Redlands. The Quaker offense again functioned smoothly, While the Barbarian,s play was ragged. Cap- tain Hutchison led the teams in scoring with 10 markers. Whittier led at half time 14-8. The Work of Robinson and Dietrick, Poet guards, in holding Hoffar and Crow, Gaucho scoring aces, to 1 field goal each is worthy of praise. Whittier 30, San Diego 32, February 14: Still stinging from last year,s double lacing from an underdog Whittier quintet, the San Diego Aztecs were hot for the Poet scalp in this series to decide second place in confer- ence standings. The Aztecs went into a 16-10 first-half lead. Wayne Wilson nearly Won the game for Whittier single-liandedly, 121 chalking up 14 points in the last half, and copping scoring honors for the game with 17. Wilson's play was little short of miracu- lous as he drove down the floor time after time to drop the ball in the hoop and keep the Poets in the running. Whittier 42, San Diego 34, February 15: With Wilson again taking scoring honors by ringing up 14 points, and Hutchison follow- ing with 12, Whittier found sweet revenge in trimming the Aztecs and evening the series. The Quakers, battling to regain sec- ond place, played their best basketball of the year, hitting the basket from all angles of the court. Leading 15-12 at the half, Whit- tier Went on a scoring rampage during the last half, and for the only time during the season approached the championship form of the previous year's team. Whittier 41, Occidental 34, February 21: Meeting their traditional rivals, the Oxy Tigers, in the final series of the season, Whit- tier lost no time in getting started in the Tiger cracker-box gymnasium tonight as they amassed a 12-0 lead early in the game, and they were never headed. The Quaker quintet completely outclassed the Bengals in every department as they garnered a nice 27-12 lead at the intermission and safely held their lead during the final session. Hutchison and Wilson set the pace for Whit- tier, scoring 14 and 13 digits, respectively. Whittier 45, Occidental 3 5, February 22: Occidental invaded Whittier only to suffer another decided setback. Aided by Wilson, Who tallied 19 counters, the Quakers held a 23-17 lead at half time, and increased their lead 4 more points before the game ended. Moorhead closed his three-year Varsity cam- paign in grand style, accounting for 13 points, and playing a great game. Whitney and Davis also closed their collegiate casaba careers in this contest. The victory gave the Poets a tie for second place in the standings with San Diego, Redlands Winning the title without losing a game.

In defeating Santa Barbara State, newly-crowned champions, Whittier climaxed the season with the prize upset of the year. Occidental-Opening the conference season with Oxy in the Tiger diamond, Poet errors along with six-hit pitching and three hits by Lyons, Bengal moundman, proved the downfall of the local team, 11-2. Al- though George allowed only eight hits, they were bunched by the Oxy batters. Marsh Clark and Frank Sinatra, all-conference third baseman, starred at the plate for Whit- tier with two hits each. Redlands-Redlands University fell vic- tim to a revengeful crew of Quakers, 14-8, as the Poets pounded three Bulldog pitchers for sixteen hits.

San Diego-Meeting a San Diego State baseball team for the first time in several ' ffl' .iQiAlilAmif.i.... - , .nr ,n 1 years, the Whittier nine had played what appeared to be a victory only to have Lady Luck step in and direct victory to the Aztec camp by a score of 4-3. Hal Stephens, pitch- ing the best game of his career, was given practically errorless support. The Poets drew first blood in the second inning when George walked, Bailey doubled to left scoring George and was in turn scored when Sinatra singled to center. In the last of the fourth Garbonie, Border shortstop, singled and was brought in by Larson's sharp double. Gardner sin- gled, scoring Larson and tying the score at 2-2.

Sinatra got a homerun in the sixth which was dupli- cated by Stephens with two men on in the eighth.

Extra-curricular activities in the Womenis Athletic Association have in- cluded sports in season, rallies, Wiener bakes, participation in recreation games on sched- uled evenings, a Rufus party, a treasure hunt to keep enthusiasm at high tide throughout the year. Weekly meetings of the board, capably headed by Bunny Davenport, president, kept the physical education activities going at full swing. The board included: Maxine Gorsuch, vice-president, Addie Newland, secretary, Anne Weaver, treasurer, Hazel Hayes, reporter, and Peggy Lamb, freshman representative. Heads of sports on the board were: Margaret Lautrup, basketball, Helen Bennett, hockey, Lulu Mings, volleyball, Anna Johnson, recreational sports, Annie Phelan, baseball, Lorraine Bowlus, intra- mural, and Vera Wiclcert, tennis. This group made their year's plans at a retreat at Ocean Park during the summer when they were entertained by the president. Many new ideas for a more efficient organi- zation, from her experiences before coming to Wliittier, have been from time to time suggested by Miss Verhulst. She and her assistant, Alice Joy Martin, have contributed a great deal the past year in time and effort. Their leadership, combined with the pep of the new freshman class athletes-to-be and the enthusiasm of the old members, made every sport season a lively interlude. Shortly after the beginning of the year, two new positions on the board were ap- pointed. They were Anna Johnson, head of recreational sports, and Peggy Lamb, fresh- man representative, to enlighten her class W.A.A. members on such matters as choos- ing of honorary varsity teams, the point sys- tem and making of teams. In addition to the regular sports program, the W.A.A. sponsored a Rufus party which was something new on the campus. Ward- man gym was transformed into a hay barn. More than 100 students discarded their woes and dignity to enter into the fun of this first party of its kind. Relays, childhood games, the Virginia Reel, and a tissue paper hat making contest were entered into whole- heartedly under the leadership of Crawford Peek, men,s physical education director. Hilarious laughing and hollering proved the success of the affair. Anna Johnson, recrea- tional sports head and her committees planned the evening's entertainment. These committees were: refreshments, Annie Phe- lan, publicity, Bill Tufts, and the Recrea- tional Leadership class, entertainment and clean-up. Lillian Janeway furnished the piano accompaniment for the games. Earlier in the year men and women physi- cal education majors participated in some- what the same type of program led by Glen Grant, Los Angeles playground director. Its success instigated the Rufus party which, no doubt, will grow to be an annual affair on the campus. Miss Lucille Verhulst Miss Alice Joy Martin Redecoration and furnishing a W.A.A. room in the gym has been a welcome project undertaken the second semester. The work was planned and directed by Vera Wiclcert, who had as her assistants, Annie Phelan, Kay Bandy, Jean Wynkoop, Betty Gates, and others who helped with the painting and sewing. Its comfortable chairs, gayly-col- ored pillows and drapes, freshly painted fur- niture, and a new rug have meant a great improvement in the attractiveness of the room, to say the least. Loungers may even watch the activity of another new addition, the goldhsh, who are Mussolini, so-called be- cause he continually tries to mussle in, and Hitler to keep Mussolini company. The Whittier W.A.A. is also a member of the National Amateur Athletic Federation, whose purpose is to safeguard girls' sports and to help bring to every girl an opportun- ity to take part in recreational athletics suited to her strength. It exerts its influence to raise health standards for women's sports, to check commercialism and exploitation- such as using amateur sports for money and publicity, to eliminate highly competitive state, national and international tourna- 136 Row 1-Jeanne Perry, Joyce Brown, Marjorie Davis. Row 2 -Kay Bandy, Bernice Sutton, Lurena Yee, Anna Johnson. ments in order to prevent over-training and emotional and physical strain. This federa- tion, of which Mrs. Herbert Hoover is now honorary president, comprises 700 organiza- tions, institutions and individuals. Thirty-three women signed up to take part in intercollegiate play-day held at U.C. LA. Whittier is scheduled to take charge of this annual affair for the coming year. Among the sports in which the women par- ticipated were speedball, hockey, tennis, fencing, archery, swimming, volleyball, and basketball. On February 14, the traditional Valentine box was sponsored. A penny was charged for the delivery of each Valentine and added to the treasury. Six women were presented with white athletic sweaters by the Womenis Athletic Association this year. They were Vera Wicli- ert, Annie Phelan, Joyce McGovern, Mar- garet Lautrup, Lulu Mings, and Lurena Yee. In addition to the sweater awards, members won numerals and stars. Numerals were awarded to all members of each sport during the Hrst year of competition, stars for suc- ceeding years. The majority of sweaters are 'usually won during the member's senior year. They are awarded after three or four years of competition in three or four sports a year. A basketball rally on Monday, September 23, was the first W. A. A. meeting of the year. At this time, the new women's physi- cal education director and all new women were honored. Here the system of athletic awards of emblems and sweaters was ex- plained with an emphasis on the fact that a sportsmanship spirit behind the playing of sports was more important than skill. Basketball class teams were especially well matched. Close scores and a tie for inter- class championship prove there was good competition. By defeating the sophomores 23-20 in the second-round and Hnal game, sophomores and juniors tied for first place. The honorary basketball team selected in- cluded: Joyce Brown, Eleanor Brooks, Max- ine Gorsuch, Virginia Garretson, Mary Page, Marjorie Davis, Annie Phelan and Anna Johnson. The W. A. A. offered a silver cup for inter-society basketball championship. The Palmer society team which happened to also be almost the entire sophomore team easily won first honors and a year's possession of the cup. Lulu Mings, head of volleyball, created enthusiasm for the next sport season with a rally in Wardnian gym and a wiener bake in the evening at the home of Dr. Herbert E. Harris. Sophomores and juniors were runners-up for che championship in the two rounds of play-off games. The final game showed the sophomore team on top. Selected for the honorary varsity for outstanding playing were Jeanne Perry, Bernice Sutton, Joyce Brown, Anna Johnson, Lurena Yee, Annie Phelan, Kay Bandy, and Marjorie Davis. One of the highlights of the season was a volleyball play-day at Pomona College. Three teams with substitutes were enter- tained following the games in the Women's Recreational Hall. Before hockey season opened, a new point system was installed by the board. It was decided to award 100 points to those who had nine practices and played two games and 5 0 points to those with six practices and two games. The board felt that the new system would encourage participation in extra- curricular sports by not awarding points for skill alone. Hockey season brought out a thundering herd of players. Practically every freshman in Platner and Bolte turned out to bat the little balls. Miss Verhulst proved an excel- lent instructor from her past experience as teacher for five years and having received second All-American honors playing goal- 137 keeper for the Honorary Mid West. Her explanation of hockey theory and techniques gave the players a good chance to learn the fundamentals of the game. A junior-senior combine team walked off with championship honors at the end of the season. Because of the comparatively small turn- out for baseball practices, there were only enough to form two teams. It seems that most everyone had to catch up on their semester's work, write term papers or make up incompletes, but for those who did par- ticipate, Annie Phelan managed a fine season. After each game refreshments were served in the newly-completed W. A. A. room in the gym. Women relaxed after their strenu- ous playing, spent an hour of leisure and cooled off from their exercise in the hot May sun. The junior-senior combine team proved a little too hard for the freshman-sophomore combination in the live play-off games. Physical Education majors met bi-weekly l 38 Row 1--Virginia Garretson, Lucy MacKenzie, Joyce Brown, Mary Page, Lois Hunnicutt.

A formal dinner-dance, a mountain trip, bicycle parties, dinner meet- ings, and lectures were included on their active year's program. The Physical Educa- tion club attempts to offer recreational as Well as educational programs for majors only, While the W. A. A. presents its pro- gram for all interested in inter-class sports. Physical examinations for all women and a newly-installed posture clinic have empha- sized the need of health. The plan is being carried out that every woman on the cam- pus, upon registering, will be given a thor- ough physical examination and that her record will be kept on file available for refer- ence at any time. If a physical deficiency is evident in the examination, the Woman is examined periodically and is given special supervision in physical activity. Three Point Wellesley posture examina- tions were offered by Miss Verhulst each Friday afternoon in the medical room at Platner Hall. She emphasized a detailed antero-posterior and a lateral posture test. Individual posture exercises were given to those who needed them. Miss Verhulst found from the posture clinic that the most out- standing defect among the women was a forward head. Beginning her athletic career dodging a bullet in a Mexican revolution, Bunny Dav- enport has continuously pursued an active life. Since her freshman year when she scored the winning point in a hockey game to give her class the championship, she has been considered one of the best women athletes on the campus as well as one of those friendly people Whittier is so famous for. Her presidency of the W. A. A. came as a climax to four years of participation in its activities. A runner-up in the tennis mixed doubles for three years, member of every season sport team, sweater winner, W. A. A. board member for three years and P. E. Club president prove her ability. Three years as assistant in the women's physical education department have won many friends for Alice Joy Martin. Students will miss her as teacher of dancing classes and individual sports. Before coming to Whit- tier, Miss Martin held positions as elementary teacher and Y. W. C. A. secretary. She obtained a degree of bachelor of education from U. C. L. A. where she participated in all athletics and where her favorite sports included hockey and volleyball. It didn't take long for women in the physical education department to be sure of the fact that Lucille Verhulst was a capable head for that department. A year's stay here has proved it. Among her accomplishments are four years' teaching at Friends University at Wichita, Kansasg two years' recreation leaderg one year as supervisor of physical education at Streator, Illinoisg chairman of the middlewestern section of the American Physical Education Associationg and mem- ber of the National Women's Basketball Team. She also has a national A rating for teaching basketball and hockey. Receiving her bachelor of science degree and teaching certificate, and therapeutic certiicate at the University of Wisconsin, Miss Verhulst has continued her study at Rusch Medical School, nearing completion of her work for degree of doctor of medicine.

PLATNER HAL Where's my mattress? cried Mary Jean Kennedy, as she led the frosh in their first search for missing bedding and whatnot which the upperclassmen had hidden in the traditional grand room stacking. Thereafter freshmen stacked each otheris rooms so promiscuously that they didn't take time to hide mattresses, but dashed from room to room throwing sheets and blankets hither and yon. Proctors tried night after night, but vainly did they attempt to quiet the babes till after midnight. Some nights they were allowed to cool their pep in hilarity on the quad long after the wise seniors had climbed Wearily into bed. Let's say nothing here of nightly feeds and avocado sandwiches throughout the winter months. Frosh ambition, under the guidance of the dorm social chairman, Evvy Cravens, was 162 directed into one valuable channel at least. Sandwiches, gum, candy, hot-dogs, news- paper subscriptions, and white elephants were sold to redecorate a playroom in the basement, a place in which to give vent to superfluous energy next year. Nelda Connally and Lulu Mings, consecu- tive semester presidents, with Cookie and Evvy as their social chairmen,1 planned a balanced social life for the Cherubs. They drowned their pride and invitedlthe fellows to see Bitter Sweet at the Shrine Audi- torium and to eat at Carl's. After this they held hen parties in the lounge. Those who are blessed with an aesthetic nature had the opportunity of attending Sunday musi- cales right at home. Anyone who didn't have fun living at Platner this year must have slept twenty-four hours a day. Look in back of the davenport, you lounge lizard! By Hazel Hayes WARDMAN HALL There exists upon our campus a species of aborigine whose habits and attitudes are most interesting and often decidedly unin- telligible to the novitiate- the fellows in Wardman. The political situation was handled as well as could be expected by any tribe at the level of civilization of which they seem the sub- stratum.

Sweeney, femme- proof as is made, took the knife in his teeth as the next president. And here-oh, the shame of it! Elkington usurped Lindy and became vice-president, supposing the rest of the election to be open and above board: Kegler, secretary, and a fine one, too, Bolte- ing at the slightest suggestion. Mute testi- mony--Don Smith-treasurer. Umm-m-m! But who are we to umm-m-m, shekels being the elusive things they are. The name of Clark again troubles our keys, only this time he brings a cohort-Ferguson, Lambie Ferguson. Their official position was social chairman, as if it took two. We will say, however, that the echoes of the Valentine party still reverberate now and then, way down yonder in the paw-paw patch. By Alva Mun 163 Dear old Bolte, as its inmates fondly know it, rather splurged itself this year. Regardless of a very prim exterior, to-wit, the two semi-colonial, semi-classic, semi- something fronts, the place seems to have indulged, as it were. The hall's being newly equipped with a very gracious and most charming hostess may have had something to do with it. Sufficient is it to the copy herein to say that the flowers of the crop were numbered among those in the office. Despite the marked Palmer influence, the Bolte women have maintained comparative peace and harmony alongside their raucous freshmen neighbors at Platner. Lois Bushby was twice called upon to guide the fates of her adoring housemates, and Audrey Kresin, affectionately and often 164 Row 1-Naomi Wood, Gerry Groshong, Beatrice Loo, Esther Bushby, Marian Shammo.

As proof that there was no blot upon the escutcheon of her honor, she was chosen joint social chairman for the following semester. Let me say publicly that the missing funds were safely recovered and spent in the pursuit of red paper hearts for the Secret Passion party. Gerry Groshong then attempted to protect the worldly Iucre acquired now and then from dorm dues in generous payments from a few, from a few. Foot-luce MacKenzie receives a bit of credit for her splendid work as social chair- man. No help, for the hrst half, and the lagging member of the crew, among whose duties were helping Audrey or various and sundry little things, was Alva Munson. By Alva Munson With Mildred Moss, capable president presiding over the dormg Doris Crofoot, secretary and treasurer busily taking notes and money at each dorm meeting and Joy Possum, who succeeded Genevieve Joy as social chairman, arranging teas, spreads, and parties, Way Hall has considerable news for the publicity chairman, Agnes Cole. When the news is such that it goes into the book marked offenses, Dorothy Pfeiffer, mem- ber of the interdorm council, assists Mildred Moss, interdorm president, and the council members in deciding what shall be the fate of the offender. On the departure of Ruby Fletcher, Way Hall welcomed into its fold a little woman from the Far East, namely Tokio, Japan. Satow Haruko San is the entire name, but the campus knows her as Haruko. She and her roommate, Mary Nordstrom, are often heard singing duets in Japanese and convers- ing, in a simple way of course, in Haruko's native tongue. Our little Japanese scholar has learned much about the customs of the United States since her arrival on the Whit- tier College campus. At her birthday party, the idea of one's being spanked on each birthday was introduced to her, so she im- mediately took out her notebook and recorded the birthdays of each woman in the dorm so she would remember to spank, as she expressed it. Slang is not left out of her vocabulary because she thinks, as Dr. Upton has suggested to her, that to know the English language, one must know slang.

Besides knighthoodis active exponents of athletics, the group included the Wliittier College yell leader. Few stories circulated about the campus concerning the wearers of the maroon sweater, but one found the sweaters worn, not only on the local campus, but hither and yon. For instance, at a Redlands ,track meet on a windy March day, zippered tightly to the collar, one of the jackets was topped by a goose-pimpled face of only a slightly lighter hue. It appeared on the per- son of Bill Schmitt, the year's new member, perhaps by virtue of being Whittier's mes- siah of the mob. Affairs approached a sad, sad state with Prexy Stevenson perpetually appearing 166 Row 1-Joe Cosand, Al La Fleur, Newt Robinson, Marshall Clark, Henry Valla.

They went so far even as to allow a chapel speaker to appear in a maroon zipper coat Qminus only Il knightis headj, and bask in the hope of someone's thinking him, too, a College Knight. Then, one found the knights' sweaters in the grandstands. And while their brethren performed duties of guiding rooters to their places in the stands, Dan Tebbs, Newt Robinson, Ken Richardson, and Bill Steven- son guided their opponents to the air with a flourish of passes, and to the ground with tackles. Generally whispering, the grand- stand Knights must have thought of per- mitting the sister organization of Poetesses to assume the grandstand duties that they, too, might go into service upon Hadley Field. By Iul D cyson PCDETESS CLUB Despite heated cries of social dictators from various feminine members of the stu- dent body, the ten Poetesses arose victorious from the struggle, clutching their coveted charter in both hands. The Poetesses, or poetettes Cthere has never been a complete understanding among all the members as to which is the better namej have assumed a position on the campus comparable to that held by the College Knights. Their duties are to assist the social chairman of the stu- dent body, who is, incidentally, an ex-oflicio member of the group, and to act as hostesses at college functions. The nucleus for the new club was the Poetess Eight, and it was under their spons- orship that a smile contest was held on the campus last fall. On March 27, a spring formal was held at the Club del Mar in Santa Monica. This formal is to become an annual affair, as is an initiation ball to be held at the beginning of each school year. Since becoming an official part of the school, the Poetess Club, while not covering them- selves with an extra amount of glory, have helped with the dances, both in decorating and in serving punch. They also acted as ushers at the Glee Club Home Concert. Some day, if the members can reach a satis- factory agreement, club sweaters will make a belated appearance. Membership is exclusive, limited to four seniors, Virginia Hoefer, Helen Banks, Myna Mayberry and Lois Thomas, three juniors, Elizabeth Thompson, Barbara Todd, and Barbara Little, two sophomores, Betty Hall and Ruth Earl, and one fresh- man Rose Frank. 7 By Barbara Little Row 1-Barbara Todd, Eliza- beth Thompson, Barbara Little, Virginia Hoefer, Ruth Earl, Rose Frank.

' 167 With President Burton Parminter in the driver's seat, the college Y.M.C.A. took its inaugural bow the Week-end of September 14-15 by orienting the peagreens at Camp Arbolado in the San Bernardino Mountains. Fifty-eight frosh, student body leaders, and faculty members packed brushes and paja- mas for the conference. The men went into huddle with the Y.W. C.A. and called signals for a series of joint Y.M. and Y.W. concerning men and Women relations. The men and Women hung together long enough to sponsor two' chapel services dur- ing the year, the first of which again brought Dr. Popenoe here. Tom Butler and Calvin Hendricks, from the Braille Institute in Los Angeles, entertained at the second chapel.

Christmas cheers saw twenty-six delegates from the Y.M. and Y.W. thumb their way to Asilomar for the Pacific Coast Student Conference. Active discussions concerning the honor system, War and peacejand politi- cal and economic imperialism were held. The curtain of the year's activities crashed May 14 with an evening on the Whittier Campus for Hi-Y and Junior Col- lege Y graduating officers over Southern California. A bread line formed at the Inn Where the evening program was climaxed by installing officers for the ensuing year. Aiding the president were Bruce Giffen, first vice president, Ken Smith, secretary, Gordon Foster, treasurer, Jim Ash, pub- licityg and Kerns Vaughan, program chair- man. By Howard Whitney When they were able to settle down to business after a hilarious, up-trail tramp in Fish Canyon, Monrovia, the cabinet com- menced operations. Before school opened, they had planned a year of fun intermingled with aesthetic, spiritual, and economic pro- grams. S0 that they might find their way properly about the campus, and meet the right people, a sponsorship program was organized under the leadership of Bunny Davenport. During Freshman Week, the yearlings were invited to partake of food and fun at Hillcrest Park in Fullerton. For the general welfare of both groups concerned, men and women decided some- thing must be done. Dr. Popenoe, Dr. Kavi- noky, Dr. Coflin and Mrs. Pfuetze were secured for the students to talk over griev- ances. The Y.

To keep up with the times, Roxie Willis and Dorothy Welch have led public affairs forums weekly throughout the year. The Whittier Y. W. was well represented and took an active part at Asilomar as well as at other intercollegiate Y. W. conferences. Mrs. Louise Pfuetze, adviser, led one group in the records of the Life of Jesus. Prexy Anderson has kept her cabinet busy, but the result has been worth any effort. for the Y. W. C. A. has this year been heard as well as seen by everyone on the campus. By Hazel Hayes i 169 The potential Babe Didricksons of Whit- tier, fond as they might be of physical edu- cation books ranging from two pounds in weight and up, are instead much fonder of racquets, shin guards, and baseball bats when it comes to lugging indications of their major course about the campus. The Women's P. E. Club, of which Hal Stephens might well be an honorary mem- ber, is composed of those few feminine heads who understand the science of gridiron war- fare, and not a few faces that might have launched a thousand touchdowns. They cavort about the quad in tan and orange gym suits when the club meets are not in order, or perhaps, in direct defiance of their well-learned rules of dieting, swing their elbows over Fobes' glass counter for choco- late bars in between meals.

'on her thumb from clinching the horn on a horseback ride, the club points gleefully to a successful year's activity. With Marjorie Davis, social chairman, in charge, and backed by President Kay Bandy and Miss Verhulst, the club,s social calendar was dated with various activities including bicycling in the moonlight to Keith Cole's, an informal sports dance at the Los Serranos Country Club, the traditional winter mountain party at Mount Baldy during the Christmas holi- days, and Yee aforementioned horseback ride. Vice-President Lulu Mings, and Secre- tary Annie Phelan, we are assured, have labored unceasingly in the magnificent cause. However, we feel duty-bound to warn the young ladies that the indifference toward physical education manifested by some of the uintellectualsv on the campus will be hard to overcome. By Addie Newland HEMISTRY CLUB These paragons of scientific precocity im- press upon the humble inquirer that the organization has no oilicers--this fact is paramount. However, since, at least, the formalities of maintaining law and order 1T1USt be observed, one of the members is chosen chairman at each meeting. Dr. Ostrom, adviser, started affairs off precipitously and pleasurably. He showed colored slides of his vacation trip from the San Diego fair to Crater Lake at the first meeting. Then, since even molecule hunters get hungry occasionally, Dr. Ostrom re- energized them with refreshments. Mem- bers declare the sponsors of this meeting should be awarded the cut-glass beaker be- cause it was tops.

FQUNDATICDN SGCIETY The humble reporter pauses reverently before attempting to describe this august body. The inadequacy of his powers must be only too evident to him. For the Founda- tion's physicists, chemists, and mathemati- cians are surely beings of an exalted order. Presidents Elton Paddock and John Fobes were eminently qualified to preside with a becoming dignity. While one blushes to mention a medium of exchange Cto use the word umoneyu would be just too humili- atingj in connection with these worthy gentlemen, honesty demands a complete revelation. In brief, Henry Valla and John Kegler served as treasurers for the first and second semesters respectively. The student body was deeply appreciative of the one peep they were allowed at the inner workings of this group. A chapel lec- ture on astronomy by Mr. Newton of the Amateur Telescope Society was sponsored 172 by the Foundation. All other affairs were strictly limited to initiated and well-sea- soned members. Sufhce it to say they scorn npublicity. Only the barest facts regarding their activi- ties could be gleaned. But theyrare faith- fully set down here because it is recognized that every scrap of information about these future Millikans is precious. One trip was taken to the Planetarium while quite a gala affair was the three-day deseiit trip to Methane Meadows. This yearfs crop of experimenters was received into fthe ranks of the immortals at a graduateundergrad- uate picnic, the last affair on the calendar. Members of the Foundation, every stu- dent is keenly aware of your worthy past activity and of your glorious future. On this, your tenth anniversary, they salute you! .

Activities include a bi-weekly meeting to discuss recent events of a bio- logical importance, and the researches of the student members. It has been rumored that authorities on certain subjects lead discus- sions. Field trips, those bug-bears, have in- cluded a jaunt to the Cal Tech Marine Laboratory at Corona del Mar, and the Riverside Experimental Citrus Station. Officers for the first semester, as authen- tically as could be obtained, Were President Carlos Bailey and Program Chairman Ruth Plannette. Second semester found Howard Nelson president and apparently no more drastic change in guidance. Just a mild, unobtrusive group of observers, so it would seem, is this our Biology Club. But if you were to drop in at the lab and see these leaders of the future at Work you would be convinced that they are accomplishing much even if they don't talk about it. The progressive march of science must go on! And While these apprentices may not yet have acquired the approved Johns Hop- kins microscope technique, they're catching up with the line of march. They'll soon be mounting slides and slicing frogs with the best of them. By Alva Munson Row 1-Lois Hunnicutt, Lor- raine Bowlus, Ruth Plannette, Thelma Bagwell, Annie Phelan.

KALLITECHNIA lt was well upon midnight of a January evening before a criticism meeting dispersed and the doors of the Forsberg coffee house were finally closed upon the departing Kal- litechnia members. Wlien the Book of Verse emerged, pub- licized to the extent of one hundred inches of newspaper copy, it was nursed througha hectic sales period. Members made excellent invasions of eight a.m. shifts, but in the end, Roberta Forsberg, the harried but trium- phant editor, announced that the current bills, as well as the bills for the previous year,s book, had been paid Ca matter of as much concern to the poetasters as gold footballs to the teamj . Among the officers, Naomi Wood, blonde president, bravely attempted to stem the hurling of forks at the society during a din- 174 ner meeting, and even placed a book of poetry in a dentist's oflice. Addie Newland, finding her time limited, turned the matters of invitations and notices over to Mary Nordstrom. True, Mary issued one invitation three weeks after the meeting, but she gamely trod the streets of the town selling verse books. The meetings, arranged by Fred Elking- ton, were the steak bake-at which the registrar's maroon coupe was taxi when more members than cars met in front of Bolte- and the l1MZg'I7'ZC'7lf Day party which the so- ciety as a body viewed through the opera glasses of Doncyson and Forsberg. The dis- covery of grade school talent in art, a review of a four and one-half pound book, an ex- periment in creative criticism and an evening of palm-reading were features of other meetings.

The Cosmopolitan Club had them all and more. Due largely to the vigorous and thor- ough work of Ben Hamilton, Jr., program chairman, the Cosmopolitan Club's roster of thirty members participated in thirteen evening meetings, three of which were Los Angeles dinners in foreign haunts, and spon- sored the annual Armistice Day chapel program. A lively banquet in the colorful La Golon- drina cafe, famous landmark on Olvera Street, concluded the year's activity, and President Roxie Willis installed her successor, TAN CLUB Art Hoffman. Retiring officers who spoke were: Elizabeth Marty, vice-president, Mary Nordstrom, secretary, and Art Hoff- man, treasurer. New officers installed were: Mary Nordstrom, vice-president, Elizabeth Marty, secretary, and Noboru Nakatomi, treasurer. Reverend Allen Armstrong Hunter, pastor of the Mt. Hollywood Community Church, carried a forceful and practical Armistice peace message to student body chapel November 7 under the auspices of the club. The club is a charter member of the Southern California Federation of Cosmo- politan Clubs which was revived at Pomona this spring, and it has joined with the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. in sponsor- ing a weekly public affairs luncheon and discussion. By Roxic Willis Row 1-Elizabeth Marty, Emily Mangrum, Mary Nord- strom, Beatrice Lo'o, Ruby Fletcher.

HONOR SOCIETY Pushing the movement to form a Poet chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national schol- arship fraternity, was the main activity of the Honor Society this year. At the sugges- tion of the joint council, the society joined forces with a group of high scholarship faculty members headed by Mrs. Dorothy Hildreth, Honor Society adviser, to push the application for a Phi Bete chapter. Practically dormant and consisting of but one member until the second semester, the membership jumped to ten in January. President Roxie Willis and Secretary Art Hoffman were unanimously elected from the enlarged roster consisting of Olga Gale- otti, Tom Collin, Franklin McCurdy, Rob- ert Drury, Joe Cosand, Bruce Giffen, Rachel Thomas, and Francis Ott. Membership in this organization, the highest scholastic honor on the Poet campus, is made by attaining a grade average of 2.3, a strong l'B,', at the end of at least five semesters of full-time college Work, the last 176 semester of which must have been at Whit- tier College. Earning forty or more grade points, eighteen Poets made the second semester Honor Roll, an organization by name only, with no activity. Members Were: Eleanor Brooks, Shirley Meeker, Eloys Mills, Doro- thy Welcli, Eugene Barmore, Robert Drury, Bruce Giffen, Art Hoffman, Rachel' Thomas, John Baker, Roberta Forsberg, Olga Galeotti, Francis Ott, Kenneth Smith, Albert Ellis, Gretchen Mae Evans, and Herbert Lund. The Honor Society entertained Dr. Shimer, national secretary of Phi Beta Kappa, at luncheon in the Campus Inn fol- lowing his chapel address here May 22, and the society members made up a theater party and attended a performance of Three Men on a Horsef' nationally applauded comedy, at the El Capitan April 17. By Ruxic Willis Startling the student body with a debate held in chapel early in February, the speech department has forced recognition of the forensics activities on the Whittier campus. The new instructor of speech, W. Theron Ashby, is developing a policy which enables both men and Women to participate exten- sively in all forms of forensics before a variety of audiences. Through Mr. Ashby, vice-president of the men's division, and Dorothy Welch, presi- dent of the Women's division, Whittier has been active in the Southern California Inter- collegiate Forensic Conference. Virginia Sydnor placed second and Bill Schmitt third in the Women's and menis extempore con- tests. The declamation contests were held on the local campus in May, with Whittier represented by Dorothy Welch, second-place Winner the previous year. Whittier 'engaged in its most extensive debate season for several years, meeting ap- proximately thirty schools. The schedule I included the colleges of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minnesota, Le Moyne, Memphis, Tennessee, William Jewel, Liberty, Missouri, Linfield, McMinnville, Oregon, Whitman, Walla Walla, Washington, Woodbury, Los An- geles, San Diego State, Santa Barbara State, Pasadena, Fullerton Junior College, the uni- versities of Southern California, California at Los Angeles, Loyola, and the American Institute of Banking. The majority of the debates were non-decision, with some use of the shift-of-opinion ballot to measure audi- ence reaction. The proposition most often debated was that chosen by the Pi Kappa Delta, national debating society, concerning the limiting of the power of the Supreme Court by Con- gress. Debates Were also held during the latter part of the year on the desirability of socialized medicine. Mr. Ashby was ably assisted by Alton Brundige, who served as student forensic manager for the year.
