As I have watched the 1949 Raconteur grow into this good book of memories, I have felt once again, as I have felt in other years, how truly our college becomes our home just as it becomes our Alma Mater. Our feet may leave it as we go into new activities, but our affection remains • ever here. Buildings are made of stone and mortar; colleges are made of minds and hearts." GRACE BIRD, Director c THERON McCUEN Chief policy makers of the college were Theron McCuen, District Superintendent, and the Board ofT rustees which was composed of William T. Baldwin, H. E. Woodworth, Chester O'Neill, Dr. Arthur Warner, and Phil Ohanneson. The latter was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge T. N. Harvey. 9 MISS MARGARET LEVINSON MRS. ESTHER SARGENT Advising and serving the women students we find our competent and ever-helpful counselors: Miss Margaret Levinson, Dean of Women; Mrs. Esther Sargent, Counselor and Assistant Dean; and Miss Ruth Maguire, Counselor and part-time Dean. 10 ED SIMONSEN BURNS FINLINSON The men students were assisted by Ed Simonsen, Dean of Men, Athletic Director, and advisor to the Student Body Executive Counsel.

This group was ready at all times to be of service in college affairs. 19 Amid swirling skirts and red and white pom-poms, Shir Lee Burt, June Parkhurst, and Pat Saunders led enthusiastic rooters in the singing ·of their favorite songs. While our bas ketball teams were in action, June Parkhurst and Evelyn Tatum assumed the task of bolstering school spirit. SONG LEADERS June Parkhurst, Shir-Lee Burt, and Pat Saundero. 20 • Four students who were re sponsible for a good deal of spirit at the Renegade games were Bakersfield College's yell leaders, Doss Smith, Jerry Sprayberry, Caryl Rigsby, and Winston Rust. On hand at all the clashes, the "four jumping jacks" were main cogs in BC's moral offensive against their gridiron op ponents. 21 .. EARL SARGENT BERT ROB INSON JACK FROST FOOTBALL Winding up its season in third place of the Metropolitan Conference, the 1948 edition of the Renegade football team boasted one of the most potent JOHN VALENBOIS aggregations in the history of Bakers field College. Coaches Jack Frost and Earl Sargent were responsible for the strategy behind the 'Gade offense. Although the local club faced some of the most powerful teams in California (eg. Compton College, winner of the Little Rose Bowl), the Frostmen managed to rack up a total of 258 points againsi their opponents' 158. The Renegades chalked up six wins and dropped four battles. Failing to c!ick early in the season, the DON STRAUS BURG 22 JERRY BEAVER ALAN STAHL FRANK GIFFORD Bakersfield eleven fell before Hartnell College despite the above average playing of Renegade wingback Alec Thompson. Final Gcore was 36-6. San Diego, winner of the Metropolitan Conference crown, nosed the 'Gades out the following week by a 14-13 count. MELTON McCLANAHAN Left halfback Frank Gifford clicked with a. pass to Thompson for the final Bakers field tally. First win of the season came when the 'Gades sent El Camino home on the bottom side of a 28-6 score. Lineman "T ex" Johnston got in on the act by intercepting a pass and racing over for a Bakersfield score. Even though the local squad waged a determined battle, it failed to stop the mighty Compton Tartars from rocking up a 30-7 win. CHUCK WHITNEY 23 TOM I:ATHAM DON CASIDA LOUIE ELIZALDE Scoring at will, the Renegades "low ered the boom" on Dixie College of St. George, Utah, for a 91-6 victor:y, the highest 1948 score in junior college foot ball to that date. Stars in the Bakersfield lineup were Derrold Johns, Del Brisco, and Bob Jackson. PHIL SMOCK Apparently Bakersfield liked that win feeling which was reflected in a 13-6 victory over Sacramento in a hotly contested clash. Gifford got into the scoring column by carrying the bacon over for the 'Gades. In the upset of the season, Bakersfield rolled over Santa Ana the following week for a win which cooled any Don ideas of a Bowl bid. Score: 40-20. East Los Angeles turned the tables and smashed the BC aggregation 20-13,· even though Leo Anderson intercepted BOB SCALES 24 BOB JOHNS BO B JACKSON DERROLD JOHNS a Husky pass and rambled seven yards for a TD. Taft failed to duplicate the ELA vic tory the following week when the 'Gades carved out a 13-7 win against the west siders. Bob Scales, who replaced Gif ford, led the Bakersfield attack by cli maxing a 3 1-yard drive with a 1-yard DI CK W EBB plunge through center. The Renegades wound up their season by pasting a 31-14 score on the Santa Monica Corsairs in a battle which was sparked by big Louie Elizalde. Although the Renegades were unsuc cessful in winning the conference crown, the 1948 squad will be remembered be cause its determination was unfailing and its best performances were turned in when the chips were down.

Plagued by a lack of reserve strength, the 'Babes managed to hold a strong East Los Angeles eleven to a 6-6 tie in what proved to be a moral victory.
