LlKe any otlier lainily il is nonna logetliei t)y common ideals and heritage. And just like any other family its members must learn lo live together, to share each otiiers joys and prol)lems, and to work and play harmoniously. 1 tie story of Whittier College is a stirring story, for in il lies a working example of progress ill rough the spirit of cooperation. THIS IS THE STORY OF THE ' ' ■ni ' rW.- THIS IS THE STORY OF THE story wKicK takes this form E I WHITTIER COLLEGE FAMILY Smith gives the royal handshake to Men ' s Week mauler McMullen. FATHER OF THE FAMILY The spirit of Whittier College has characteristically been a friendly one always. The basic concern of the colleye is that its students shall succeed to a maximum degree. Because of this positive and helpful attitude we often speab of ourselves as the W hlttler College Family. This is an appropriate term because a close and concerned relation ship of Whittier campus binds together all the students and all members of the college facuhy and administration. In these words Dr. Paul Samuel Smith, president of Whit- tier College, explains the family idea. He speaks with authority, for, having served on the staff of Whittier College for 22 years he has completely adopted the ideas of friend- liness and fellowship, the earmarks of the family tradition. Receiving his doctorate in history, the president has made valuable contributions to the study of the American con- stitution and the electoral system. Stepping into the college presidency just this year. Dr. Smith has proven himself to be an earnest, sincere leader of the college clan. 13 Harold Spencer, dean of the college THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE No family can thrive without direction. It is tlie men and women of tlie administration who give that needed direc- tion to Whittier College, and it is Dean Harold F. Spencer who gives that direction to (hose men and women! When guidance is needed to straighten the family footsteps. Deans Kenneth Richardson and Mar- jorie Gregg are ever prepared, and when pig hanks are incapable of handling the finances, Howard Hockett and Robert Ashbrook take charge. The W ' ' hillier College family is not a static family. As new members come, older ones go. But always in contact with them and with the public are Ken Beyer, Vernon McGrew and George Tenopir. It is these people, then, along with Librarian Ben Whitten. who both liglit and keep ihe College lires burning. 14 Marjorie Gregg, dean of women. Kenneth Richardson, dean of men. FAMILY-GUIDING FRIENDS Robert Ashbrook business manager Benjamin Whitten, librarian. Ken Beyer, director of alumni relations. Howard Hockett, financial secretary. J ■ AN APPLE A DAY kept the doc away pretty well, hut when that apple went to the teacher, it was Whittier s Student Health Service under Dr. Mayo Smith that lurnished the vitamins. Smith, along with his two registered nurses and two hostesses put as many as eight pale Poets to bed in the Infirmary when the flu blew in and swept them off their feet. The stall did not stop there, how- ever, but cjuickly went to work setting its patients upright again. In addition to health counselling, care of illness and injury, and examining for readmission, the Infirmary personnel held conferences with Physical Education chiefs to adjust activity programs for stu- dents needing special consideration. Other meetings were held with students, faculty, and deans on the matter of promoting mental, physical and emotional adjustment. At 317 East f- ' hiladelphia, the Infirmary was open every week-day from nine o clock until four. Where there are ap|)Ies, there are trees: and where there are trees, there are leaves. It was H. Scott Ramsey ' s job to see that those leaves were picked up, the grounds well-groomed, and the buildings kept in top-notch order. Assisted by general maintainance man Henry Hundley, Mrs Ramsey, head housekeeper, and a crew of competent caretakers. H. Scott kept the drought away with his daily sprinkling system! 16 Dr. Mayo Smith sees that someone else has a heart. Mrs. Ramsey Mr. Ramsey Mr. Hundley Ann and Merrill laugh it up with Rosie after seeing another meal successfully served. And then there was the apple that went into Rosie ' s cobbler . . . beyond doubt the most popular building on campus was, is. and ever shall be the Campus Inn; for herein the family received its daily bread. It is not often that a college student will tolerate a line, but when it came to the Inn line, he ' d be in line! Directing the 50 regular waiters who served six meals a day, seven days a week was head o ' the stock, O Herron, who not only handled total operations, but who took time out to become a part-time student herself. Hostess Stanton graciously offered grace and her time, and gave us the word on when to partake, while Merrill just-one-more-announcement Jessup, and Ann Reese played the parts of head Waiter and Waitress respectively. It was cash-and-carry Georgie Bissell and Pat Albright whom the non-mealticket holders tried hard to avoid, but never quite succeeded. Famous for its family-style meals, and as many milks as you want, the Campus Inn, its director, its cooks, and its waiters, performs a service unequalled and unexcelled, for the Whittier college family. 17 ART is a means of self-expression for tfie one in even- family who woula rather draw tlian eat. Helping to cliannel and direct tlie native urge to create constructively was art department head EInora Laughlin. Under her guidance, professed artists learned tlie theory- and techniques of both the fine and the industrial arts. Included among the activities of the Provident Hall art studios were the Fine Arts class visit to the Los Angeles County Fair in Pomona, an evening program at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, and the annual exhibit of student work which was open to public in itation in the middle part of May. EInora Laughlin (center) mixes with both her students and her paints. • ' -tr , BIOLOGY by the Salton Sea was part of the theme of the Biology Department s three day spring vacation field trip for majors and minors this year. Future hfe scientists were chrected by Drs. Spencer, James, Rice, and Stevenson, and by tlieir two teacliing assistants Alvin Vantrin and Donald Kyhos. Roy Newsom, chemistry John Hamaker, chemistry Lois James, biology Paul Rice, biology CHEMISTRY stepped out of the mystery files for many professed scientists when, after much trial and error experimentation and valuable Newsom and or Hamaker guidance, an hypothesis promoted the right conclusion! Lab assistants kept the chem stock up and had charge of equipment. Labmen Morimoto, Newsom, Bonham, and Virginia Kurth. 19 J BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION and ECONOMICS is everyone s interest today, but the men who made it their chief concern found themselves in a department staffed by professors Palmer, Schroeder, and Duffy. Finding need and interest enough to warrant organization into a professional group, the department majors formed the new Mercury Club, framed a constitution, and became an active Wednesday night discussion grouj).

And to those who foimcl history easy traveling, the up[)er division courses of professors Nerhood, DeConde. and Bourne gave them an insight into the present world conditions as drawn from an understanding of what has gone before.

EDUCATION is a requisite to grovvtn and development. Altnougn mucli of what the family learns comes from outside the limits of a formauzed institution, it is tfie school which provides planned experience and stimulates diversified interest in the young cliild. The Education Department of W hittier College, headed t)y Dr. Jolin Bright, devoted itself to the training of those who wished not only to be taught, but to teach. For tlie purpose of [professional cooperation.

Despite an over-all col- lege decrease in enrollment, the depart- ment, under Dr. Robinson and Professor Flom, saw an increase in majors and in class enrollment.

' ■«T Rounding third and heading lor home, the class of 1052 took its position at the head of the family tafile. After three years of servitude, the seniors finally received the respect due them as the future breadwinners of the family. They began their sprint for home by holding a joint dinner and play night with the Juniors. As they touched second, all the class stood up and cheered as a young Irosh and a senior receiving a diploma, against a purple and gold background, rode by on the Homecoming float. On the line from second they stopped long enough to hold a party in Provident for the whole class. HOMEBOUND-THE SENIOR CLASS Ray Case, vice-president Third base was the annual junior-senior i)rom which was held at the Santa Monica Racquet Club. The old-timers were the hosts of the juniors at this annual affair. The way to home was crowded by many obstacles, the first being the senior farewell dance. Then came the beach party to give a welcome relief after finals. Home was in sight as they passed the senior musical recital and the final leap was the annual senior-faculty brunch sponsored by the faculty. The weary travelers reached home plate mid- day on June 7, when they received their diplomas at the commencement exercises at the Amphitheater. 39 Harold H.

Fne sophomore class plays an im- portant part in the early life history ol the freshman class for it is the second yearmen s duty to introduce the newcomers to one of Stan Hubert, vice-president tlie most capitalized-upon traditions on the Whittier campus— frosh-soph rivalry. How can something which hinges on repute be worthwhile, the outsider of the family asks? The answer lies in the fact that the moment tne new student joins the Poet organization he is introduced to his rival class, to the Rock, he is forced to organize imder quali- fied officers for the purpose ol [)lanning strat- egy and defense, he is made to mix and know the members of his own class through uniting towards a common end. and he is introduced to the entire student fjocly fjy his green top hat. This is class rivalry — a rivalry that culminates in class friendship, under standing and appreciation. I ' ' SOPHS TAKE FROSH-SOPH BRAWL An experienced sophomore team tugged, wrestled, and pushed their way to virtory over the rreshmen men in the annual Irosh - soph brawl at Hadley Field Sep- tember 20. Although the judges declared a unanimous win, the freshmen lelt faked when their tug-of-war win was nullified by exposure of sophomore cheating and the tug had to go over. This time the sophs won. adding their victory to their -1-0 push ball and 5-2 sack race wins. The Sophomore Volga boatmen give one gigantic tug, and the freshmen end up just plain stick-in-the-muds.

Student charge accounts are cordially invited by the management. 176 Specializing in fine food and genuine courtesy, the three Jack ' s restaurants of jack ' s whittier restaurants Whittier have long taken the lead in the eating interests of the community and college. Jennie, Bill, Karin and Mahlon grin their sat- isfaction with the food and atmosphere of JACK ' S UPTOWN. Convenient for afternoon en- joyment, it is a favorite. JACK ' S SALAD BOWL has the kind of food, the kind of service that makes the college crowd keep coming back. On Whittier Blvd., the Bowl has everything snack- or dinner-wise to satisfy a hungry customer. The gang ' s all here at JACK ' S BEVERLY, the El Mer- cado center of eating pleasure. Whether it ' s after study or after date, the Beverly ' s a sure choice. if L- Ae - ■ - e WTsitfiier Czl - T.TI- aWays ■wrae teieire-- - : may ram seJIeBs: 6® !?6aiinr BesiJle ' .
