• t is no simple thing to anempt to capture in words and photogrpahs even a Little of the spirit and sigi'lli; of a year in the history of such a complex, continually evolving institution as Bakersfield College. And yet, every year such an anempt is made; one such is the Raconteur "62-itself an001er minor incident in that history.

Always a yearbook hopes to succt1.:d, to hold within its covers a selection of phenomena that will rcflCCl all the present facets of the School. To believe Lh.1.1: we have succeeded would be a great presumption; nevertheless, we have made a book, and that bk must have a dt'Cii.cation, for that is in the nature of books.

And thus the question is raised as ro whom this Rae should be devoted, and there are many possibilities: ro its readers. perhaps, since in this year past their Lives and that of the OJllege have been in conjw1ction, they have been members of the corps collegiate and-complex are the ways of causality- have influenced its growth and direction; then there is the faculty, whichis the structure of a college, which provides the continuity it must have, the slowly changing nexus round which quicker change resolves, giving to growth the form and order it must have if the institution is to swvive.

Bur most appropriate is a dedication to the School Herself, that spirit which infuses a collCClion of buildings and books and test-tubes and makes of them a College.

So, Lidyes and Gentle Men, we give you the School, Bakersfield College. To her, health and prOS{X'Iity-may She long endure. "When we were very young" is the beginning of a story, and "The Consolations of Philosophy" is the end of one;

__ ) ~: DR. EDWARD SIMONSEN President

rom humble beginnings in 191 ?>Bakersfield College has grown to a position of leadership among America's two year colleges. Our college has always been recognized for the quality of its instmctional program and the achievement of ts graduates, but now we may also take pride in our well-equipped campus which is takmg on new aspects of beauty each day. The new science addition will help to assure that the campus will keep pace with our expanding instructional program. Although it is my pleasure to serve as president today and to greet you at the close of a college year, I do so with humility for I realize that the status and accomplishments of Bakersfield College are possible only because of the foresight and talents of those who have served before. In the period from 1913 to the present our college has enjoyed the enlightened leadership of Superintendents A. ]. Ludden, Herman Spindt, Thomas L. Nelson and Theron L. McCuen. Capable educational leaders serving as executive officers were Paul VanderEike, Grace Van Dyke Bird (who holds the record length for service- 1921-1950), and Ralph Prator. Virtually every segment of our community has been influenced by our college. As viewed by outsiders, Bakersfield College is the epitome of a community college--an insti­ tution receptive and responsive to the needs of the community it serves. With such local emphasis, it is a credit to our faculty and students through the years that goals have been set high and that our college has not become provincial. While many of our distinguished graduates have made their marks here in Kern County, a substantial number have chosen and have prepared to take their significant places in other areas of California, other states, and overseas. During all of these years there have been two emphasis to which our staff has rigidly adhered--quality of performance and friendliness. We salute you, the students of the college year 1961-1962, and trust that what you ha\.'c learned and experienced during your stay at Bakersfield College will have helped to ,..q ip you to be productive and enlightened citizens.

As college graduates, the members understand the need of continual progress and bettermen, of education in the district. This is made evident by the excellent educational facilities offered not only on the Bakersfield College campus, but on the various high school campuses located throughout the district.

=--:; he Eve njng Division Advisory Council constantly studies ways to better serve a student body of 4000--a thousand larger than the day enrollment. The Council strives to improve all phases of adult education and to "sell" it to the community. Via its monthly Newsletter and its representatives, one from each evening class, the Council keeps evening students informed of pertinent bills before the legislature and ofeducational opportunities offered. This year the council drafted a recommendation to restrict night parking on Panorama Drive for safety reasons, conducted adult education work­ shops, and made plans for establishing an Evening Division newspaper. Evening Division students may be day students taking supplementary night courses, adults getting instruction necessary in their occupations, or adults working toward their A.A. degrees solely through evening courses. Before the council was formed the varied opportunities of evening education went unrecognized by many students and by many in the community. Also now the advisory group provides communication between students, the college and the community.

he body politic must have a leader. And as is the way with most bodies politic, ft:w uf il::. wewbers bothered to tell the leader where they wanted to go or how to get there; thus he was often left on his own con­ cerning policies and procedures. Leading the Associated Students of Bakersfield College was sel­ dom an easy job. For instance, what does one do when Japanese students being shown through the library point to a copy ofthe World War II Articles of Surrender on which are a number of Japanese signatures and ask, "What is that?" The ability to haldle tactfully such situations distinguishes the leader-politician from the average student. Despite the negative connotations of the word "politician" (and the ASB President must be a politician in order to be a competent leader) BC never lacked for competent leaders.

'he sophomore year is fraught with difficulties and decisions and the decisions are often difficult. One must decide where to transfer, or in the case of terminal students where to go to work, whether to keep the same major or change, whether to work hard and try for a scholarship or to give in to sophomore-iris-the list is endless. But whatever the difficulties, that second year is a glorious one for it is accompanied by the realization that col­ lege life can be mastered and that the critical jumping-off place--graduation--has been reached without too much difficulty. Sophomores in a junior college fill the role played by the seniors of a four year institution, and, not surprisingly, some of the "sophomores" have been at BC almost as long as seniors elsewhere. Close examination of these pages will reveal here and there the wizened features of a few lifers, students who, because of their academic longevity, have earned a special niche in the hearts of faculty members, even though the Records Office could find no other place to put them. Like the individual sophomores, the Sophomore Class Council had its difficulties too. Few members of that august body would have believed at the beginning of the year that they would shortly be enrolled in the Hard Knocks School of Business Administration. But they were. Not only did 40 people attend the Blast-Off for which they had ordered 100 dinners, but when that last shipment of 1,000 roothers' plaques arrived a week before the last football game, they realized with sinking hearts that they had again overstocked. So, if anyone needs 600 shiney new rooters' plaques, cheap, contact the sophomore class.

--- Student Court

he Student Court at Bakersfield College has been patterned after the United States Supreme Court. Its job is to inter­ pret the A.S.B. Constitution and recommend action against • student violawrs. The chief justice and four associated justices represent the judicial segment of the Bakersfield College stu­ dent government program. This year many changes were instituted to provide for a more efficient filling of these judicial duties. Office hours were arranged to make it easier for students to con­ tact court members. Other school constitutions were studied, and recommended changes in our own governing system were placed before the Board of Reps. A format of sentences and fines was estab­ lished to give the court consistency in its judgments. These, along with othet· changes, were made to form a more streamlined efficient student government at Bakersfield College.

embers of the LANCE AND SHIELD, a service club, were kept busy throughout the year with pro­ jects such as ushering at various affairs and serving _ at the banquets on campus. The frightening exper- ience of seeing the lights on their float go out just before the Homecoming parade will no doubt be long remembered by the crew. The girls thought that the clean-up after their dance was to be a simple chore, but it turned out to be a full day's _,.... _,!._ ...... wo rk of mopping, waxing, and buffing.

he Engineers Club has always been one of the quieter but more active clubs on campus, and this year was no exception. BC has very few really old traditions, but one of the oldest is the Engineers' Turkey Day which has been held every year for 18 years. It occurred right on schedule this year; several lucky contestants were awarded turkeys and other prizes. As one of the tnore athletic of the campus clubs, the Engin­ eers designed and assembled teams that won first place in the intramural badminton tournam.ent and second place in the volley ball contest. Many long hours were spent build­ ing a Homecoming float and campaigning for the club's homecoming Queen candidate. Joyce Pacini. A campaign device that began very innocently turned out to be one of the most highly publicized "Gimmicks" of the queen cam­ paign. Being unable to attach along poster over the entrance to Campus Center, one member requested help from the local fire department, and a huge truck equipped with a hy­ draulic ladder was dispatched to the scene. A crowd gath­ ered round, a photographer for the campus newspaper happened along, and the Engineers woUld up with far more publicity than they had bargained for. Other activities in­ cluded several field trips, the annual steak bake, and partici­ pation in the Optimist's Carnival. ho it was that passed out of the profits went toward financing leaflets during the first delegations to various conferences meeting oftheSTUDENT and the remainder was used for schol­ CALIFORNIA TEACH­ arships.

Some were serious--others pleasurable--but most were a combination of the two. On the serious side, assistance in the reorganization of the High School Newman Club was undertaken in a campus conference. The Nezuman News, a newspaper for all the regional clubs, first saw light on the BC campus during the Fall semester. The northern regional trek was strictly a pleasure trip taken by the mem­ bers to Visalia. A convention was held on Catalina Island early in the Spring semester and a delegation from the local club attended. Money raising drives for the club this year included dances, a car w.ash, and the selling of "Go Gades" bumper stickers for Rose Bowl bound Renegade fans.

There were some complaints that this was carrying the New Frontier "bit" a little far, but nobody seriously objected. The ath­ letes also-co-sponsored a Fun Night with the Women's Recreation Assoc­ iation. During its short history, this annual event has rapidly become one of the most successful club activities on campus. Varsity club also helped kick off the band's drive to raise money for its World's Fair trip by bringing the Los Angeles Rams to Bakersfield to play a team of Renegade All-Stars. This was expected to raise havoc with AA U officials because of a previous unfortunate experience before the Junior Rose Bowl Game involving pt·ofessionalism on an opposing team. However, the AA U finally found out that it was a basketball game and as such was quite legal.

e Wesley Club was one of the most active clubs on campu:. this car. Fund raising activities included a roller skating party in he fall semester and early in the spring a pizza party for all B.C. students. The holiday seasons were put to good usc. One group attended the four day Christmas Regional Convocation in Stockton. Also during Christ­ mas, a group went caroling at Kern County hospital. And during Easter a group went to Tiajuana for mission work. All in all this active club accomp­ lished much this year.

umbles, lost opportunities, a possible case of over confidence and poor punting \ cost the Renegades a Junior Rose Bowl victory before 49,023 fans. The game was one of the most thrilling ever played in the massive stadium • and was judged by many as the most exciting in the JRB series history. The Gade attack was led by DICKJONES, L. C. BROWN, ED WITZKE, ERNIE PYE, BRUCE MacDONALD and TOM NERY. Other Gades turned in good performances, but it was these players who kept the Renegades in the game. Cameron quarterback BILL HARPER was awarded the player of the game trophy.

107 Water Polo

erhaps the toughest and most demanding sport participated in at Bakersfield Col­ tp lege--Water Polo... One of the most col­ orful coaches in both actions and speech on the BC staff--Jim Turner. Both were known fac- tors prior to the beginning of this year's water polo season. The unknown factor--the final result-turned out a third place tie in league standings. Four Renegade swimmers received recognition for their fine play by being placed on the All-Con­ ference squad: Lloyd Berens, Bob Wilson, George Spear, Scott Elisworth. The season was not entirely successful, but the Renegade poloists always gave a good account of Coach JIM TURNER themselves.

This year's team finished in third place in the eight-team Metropolitan Conference. They were led by leather-lunged Robert Johnson, Chick Fero, David Hayes and Alvino Lujan, but these are just a few of coach Art Dalzell's striders that literally ran away from opponents.

n March 10, more than 30 of the best junior college wrestling teams in the state met at Cenitos College to \ decide the 1962 California Junior College Wrestling • Championship. When the mats were emptied, Bakersfield College's wrestling team, only two years old, had scored more points than all but five of the other teams in the meet. Also, Will Roberson had been de­ clared champion of the 191 pound division. Had defending state heavyweight champion Earl Gorley not trans­ ferred to Arizona, he probably could have won the heavy-weight division; he had decisioned the new heavy-weight champion in their previous meetings. At the time ofhis transfer Corley had not suf­ fered a defeat or tie in J C wr estling. T hat wrestling is a sport which has caught on quickly at BC could be verified by the enthusiastic crowds at the Gade grapplers' home meets. Coach H arry Kane had a squad dominated by sophomores, but there were enough promising freshmen out for the sport that pros­ pects are bright for a Gade state title next year.

first place finish in the Annual Bakersfield College lnvitatil>nal Basketball Tournament, a Metropolitan Confl!rence title, and a third straight appearance in the State Basketball finals--this time atOrangeCoastCollegein Costa Mesa-- these wcre the highlights of the 1961-1962 basketball season for the BC cagers. The Gadt:s won their own tournament early in the season by downing their old rival Fresno City College by a score of76-52. Howevcr, Fresno gained rL-venge several weeks later as they beatthe Gades 85-62 in the champ­ ionship game of the sam Barry Tournament at Glendale. And then to Metropolitan Conference play. For the founh straight year the Gades finisht:d with a 12-2 conference mark, and for the fourth straight year BC failed to defeat San Diego City Collt:gc on the Knights' home court. Things were more successful at Long Beach, however, as the Gades gave coach Jim Nau his first victory ov~r LBCC in four years on the Vikings' home court. Next came the California State Basketball Tournament. This was the Gades' third straight appearance with the elite of California basketball circles, but BCcould not break the first round jinx and finished onl} with a RON MELIA tie for seventh place. Overall thet Gades turned in a highly respectable 22-10 record and were rated as one of the better teams in the state.

The Gades dropped their opening Conference encounter to East LA, 5-4 in 10 innings: the Gades had beaten them in the semi-final game of the Metro tourney the previous week. The next day Long Beach turned the tables on BC. The Vikings rebounded from a 7-5 defeat at the hands of COLLIS' crew in the championship finals of the Metro Tourney and dumped the Gades 5-4, this time in 11 innings. MIKE KELLY Next came the first home conference game of the season with the win­ less Santa Monica Corsairs. An error leading to an unearned run gave the Corsairs a 1-0 victory. .. The following afternoon, at long last, fortune finally smiled on the Gades and TERRY CRAVEN'S booming triple scored the only run of the game as BC edged San Diego 1-0. Ten more games remained on the conference schedule for the diamond squad: may one run blues be over and done. Fireballing left hander FLOYD THIONNET and flame throwing right hander GEORGE CULVER were the mainstains on the Renegade mound corps. LAMOUR RIDDLE, JlM LEDBETTER, DAVE TITSWORTH, GEORGE MENDlBURU, and TERRY CRAVEN provided the majority of the punch offensively in the BC alignment.

Other Gade pitchers are BOB WATTS and JIM HAYNES who made several appearances each but have not received a decision yet. The Bakersfield line-up found MENDIBURU catching, CULVER or THIONNET usually on the mound, JIM ANTT at first, MIKE HALL at second, LEDBETTER at third and CRAVEN at shortsop.

122 Golf Coach: WALLACE (JACK) FROST

' urning into the final round of Metro­ politan Conference play with a 2-3 log, the BC golf team under the di­ • rection of coach Jack Frost stood an excellent chance to finish in the first division in final standings as the yearbook went to press. Ray Pierson was the Gades' number one golfer, but the big news on the greens was made by coach Frost himself. The long time BC in­ structor sank his first Hole-in-One in a match RAY PIERSON: number one Gadc: golfer. with E. Y. Johnson, coach of the LA Valley golf team. And to make things perfect, BC won the team match, the first league victory ofthe season. Two weeks remained on the golf schedule at press-time, during which the BC contingent had two matches scheduled. As always, anything Golf could happen, and probably did. Joining Pierson on the team were Richard Young, Jerry Schroer, Bruce Hodges, Frank Waller, and Jim Meyer. ·

Coach Rex Grossart assem­ bled an array of all-around performers who have an excellent chance of winding up in the state finals this year. Larry Rheams is the main clog in the well planned Gade attack, but an injury hampered his effectiveness. However, at the time the Rae went to print, Rheams was corning back into his own. Hurdles, broad jump, sprints, high jump, and even distance races are all in the scope of Rheam 's varied talents. Another all-around pexformer was Roger HOMER BROWN Davy, who participated in the shot put, discus, high jump, and hurdles. Other performers who doubled or even tripled in the meets were Chick Fero, David Hayes, Tommy Mar­ tinez, Bob Miller, Lowell Woodman, and Homer Brown. In addition, several other performers doubled from time to time. Out­ standing single event performers included pole vaulter Jim Fanucchi, shot putter Alan Adams, and high jumper Jack Gillett. Best performances· of the year were turned in by Hays in the mile when he covered the courst in just over 4:20, and Fanucchi when he cleared 14' 4-3/4". Gillett turned in a high of 6'4-3/4" early in the season and he seemed destined to go even higher.

143 volume to chronicle the events of iust one year of your stay at college-­ this is the job of the RACONTEUR. Each year, a new edition is placed on the shelf next to the one representing the year before. All the volumes arc

similar, but no two are exactlv alike; then~ arc always changes. And so it is with the college itself and the lives of the students who make up its body. The physical appearance of the campus reflects change~ I rom yt:ttr to year. Likewise, each year is a link in the changing lives of the individuab who attend college classes. Already thl! physical changes for next year arc taking shape--the addition of the science building and cnlargemmt of the stadium. Traditions, too, change. Their underlying ideas remain the same to bring

continuity tO the life of the college, but interpretations by every new group of students make the difference, characterizing that particular clas::., that particular year. New faces cpitomizc the change on the college campus. The strange, puzzled faces of the freshmen t:ach fall become those of the f'amiliar old sophomores in only a year and nine months-­

now ready for jobs 01· continued education in universities. This year, our book has attempted to show this transitional characteristic or college life, by blending the old with the new in its layout and design, but still fulfilling the function of its pages-­ a record for YOU of YOUR year at Bakersfield College, 1961-62 .

. . . It's a lingering last look for me, now, before closing the RAC door and turning in my key. Good times, good friends ... good night---it's late! Close it up. And, like you, I'm on my way...
