Many members of our Alumni Association have asked what changes have occurred in the AA organization through the new constitution adopted just one year ago. The Association did incur changes in several respects, and I will attempt to explain them Vol. XV No.3 in some detail. Some of these changes affected the Alumni Board. The so- A publication of Whittier College published during the months of October, December, called "class representatives" have been eliminated and the two March and June at Whittier, California, Box immediate past presidents have been added to the Board.

The real work of the Alumni Association has been placed in the various Commissions—Activities, Alumni Funds, Clubs and Chapters, Education, Publicity and Publications, and Student Development. All Board members are assigned to one of the Commissions in addition to other Alumni. Commission chairmen are members of the Board. There are only two elective officers of the Board—the president and the vice president. The program anticipates that normally the vice president will be elected president the following year and in this way help to give continuity which has often been lacking in the past. Since dues were eliminated several years ago in order that every alumnus would automatically become an Association member and receive its publications, there is no office of treasurer. Another change is seen in the timing of elections of officers. In past years officers were elected at Homecoming, not the proper time, it seems. The "Alumni" year has been altered to coincide with the fiscal year of the College itself—Sept. 1 to Aug. 31. New officers and Board members are now selected MESS'.

OCTOBER 1953 Page 3 MR. WALTER KNOTT, founder and head of famed Knott's Berry Farm at Buena Park, is a new trustee of Whittier College, having been appointed for a five- year term. Mr. Knott's enterprise with a roadside berry stand and a desire to preserve historic relics as a memory to pioneers of the West have evolved into one of the leading tourist attractions in Southern 4 California. The Knott family (the Berry Farm is a "family" affair throughout) is now engaged in restor- ing "Calico," Southern California's most spectacular silver-mining camp, near Barstow. One of Mr. Knott's daughters, Virginia, was graduated from Whittier College in 1934.

Students under the plan will attend interfield seminars at the various colleges concerned and do other work at the college of their residence.

Page 6 THE ROCK Some Summertime Scenes Seen

ABOVE: Food for the stomach and food for thought occupied the attention of numerous new and old alumni at the Alumni Luncheon during Commencement Day last June. Held on the front campus, the affair included a program of reunion, reminiscences and repartee—to say nothing of the repast. LEFT: In evidence at the Alumni Luncheon were these five interested personages. L. to r.: Len Crofoot, director of alumni relations; the Rev. E. Ezra Ellis, '28, of Minneapolis, luncheon speaker; President Paul S. Smith; Joe Gaudio, '35 entertainer; and Hubert C. Perry, '35, Alumni Association president.

BELOW: Some high-powered names in the football coaching profession turned up on the Poet campus when Coach George Allen staged the first Whittier College Coaching Clinic in August. Be- tween learned talks on check blocks and buck laterals, these mentors grouped for the best the cameraman could do. L. to r.: Bob Bronzan, head coach at San Jose State; Earl "Fuzz" Merritt, likewise at Pomona-Claremont; Mel Hem, all-time great pro center and now USC aide; Allen; George Ceithaml, Michigan quarterback now at USC; Milt Axt, San Francisco Poly High School tutor; and Bill Fisk, great end at USC and now an assistant there.

ABOVE: Four second-generation Poet freshmen pause for a chat with President Paul S. Smith. They are sons and daughters of former Poets, some of whom undoubtedly studied history under Prexy. L. to r.: John Kramar, s. of Mr. and Mrs. J. Willard Kramar (Edith Elmore), '23, Puente; Miss Donna L. Reece, d. of Mr. Philip E. Reece, 'e24, and Mrs. Reece, Bell; Jon Meyer, s. of Mr. C. J.
