WHITTIER COLLEGE WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA

Our score begins. Another year of Whittier College life is about to be reviewed.

We, the editors, have compiled our book with words and pictures of diverse activities, different organizations and varied class programs. However, we feel that, though the interests vary widely, they are still part of a larger, unified whole. Thus we have given the book a musical connotation. Our maestro will conduct you through the pages. For, like a piece of music, there are themes and secondary themes, harmonies and contrasting harmonies in our Whittier College way of life. Kenneth N. Richardson

Dean of S±uden±s and Director of Admissions

Dr. Charles W. Cooper

Professor of English

4 DEDICATION

Students passing through the portals of Whittier College have come to know and love two outstanding men— Dean Kenneth Richardson and Dr. Charles Cooper. Both men have made themselves an important and vital part of our family spirit. In the nine years that Dean Richardson has served the college as admissions director and dean of students, improvements in these areas have been noticeable. Our school was admitted to the world-wide College Entrance Examination Board, thus beginning the scholastic appitude tests that will be taken by entering students in the years to come. His participation in the formation of the Board of Publications, revisions of the student body constitution, and reorganization of the men's societies is indeed signifi- cant. Many never realized his additional work as coach for the Cross Country Track Team and as the college's representative in many state and national concerns. Not only in the position of administrator but in all kinds of counseling Dean Richardson has been our personal friend. In him we found the friendly spirit personalized because we felt he was really glad to help us on any occasion. The foreign students can be even more grateful to him for this reason. He says his work with the college age in viewing their growth will be his most lasting memory. Of our faculty friends, Dr. Cooper has been one of the best. He joined the Whittier College staff in 1933 and has devoted these years since to helping students wherever he has had contact with them. He feels that his most exciting memory will be of the time he spent as director of plays in Poet Theater. In 1946 he discontinued his work there to teach a wide variety of courses in literature, play production, and fine arts. As a dynamic instructor in the English department he appreciates the freedom he has had to develop his classes originally. This fact had its results in the evidence of his three books, "The Arts and Humanity," "Preface to Poetry," and his latest, "Preface to Drama.' Fine Arts students will never forget his influence in these subjects. Dr. Cooper has given much time and interest along with others in the developing of the integration program as it is now. He says that his pleasant associations with students and faculty make his work here memorable. He will continue to serve the school as professor at large. As Dean Richardson goes on to another administrative position and Dr. Cooper retires to rest and build his own home, we will think of them often. Because they have made such a lasting effect on our lives, we want to dedicate our book to them.

5 The curtain rises

And the stage is set.

Administrators are the conductors

But the faculty composes the melody.

And we make the harmony.

Our "September Song" is beginning

As classes, activities, all find their keynotes.

The baton is raised

And our performance begins. I •P• Amsm ISO L2

DYNAMIC! Fresh and eager faces appeared everywhere those first few weeks of school as the new students viewed the Whittier College spirit for the first time. Long lines of registration and hours of testing were the hardest parts of getting oriented but the picnics, barn dances, and banquets made up for them. Days were full and exciting as the freshmen, wearing beanies and placards, "buttoned" for their superiors. Then came the Brawl and the freshman boys showed their brawn but the sophomores won by a year's growth. After being formally received at the Student Body Reception, the new students became an integral part of Whittier College. Blue Monday— tests For new students.

9 Paul S. Smith President

10 PRESIDENT

SPIRIT! It is through our president that we as students catch the family spirit that he expresses so well. President Smiths ability to convey to others the importance of our kind of independent education at Whittier College is of the utmost importance to our welfare. This past year the amazing physical growth of our campus is due to the efforts of his hard work. From President Smiths knowledge in the historical fields, comes the benefit we gain through his application of it in analyzing objective problems. Truly, here at Whittier, we have found great friendship and guidance in our president!

11 ADMINISTRATION

Marjorie Gregg

Kenneth Richardson

Harold F. Spencer

INTEGRATION! It's because of Deans Gregg, Richardson, and Spencer working together that our school life is so well integrated. Miss Gregg helped lead the Forest Home conference, took charge of our social life and full calendar as well as counseling the women students. With Dean Richardson's job as chairman of admissions and student publications, came the additional duties of directing scholarship funds and giving assistance to students. Dean Spencer oversaw curriculum planning and all faculty and academic functions. If it weren't for these three administrators cooperating on our educational, social, vocational, spiritual, and other needs, we would not be enjoying the healthy program we now have.

Maurice Luther Benjamin Whitten

HARD WORKERS! A new- comer, Mr. Luther became the friendly business finance man. Dr. Whitten proved his ability as head librarian. The man glad to greet all college prospects is Mr. Tenopir. As our alumni di- rector1 Mr. Crofoot handled the job successfully. Dr. Smith has kept the students in good health. The public relations man was our new Mr. Lentzsch. Mrs. Biddle helped registration tasks.

George Tenopir Leonard Crofoot

Raymond Lentzsch

Dr. Mayo Smith Evelyn Biddle

ART

ARCHITECTURE! The study of building brought an added interest to the Art department this year. Besides this, Miss Laughlin guided students through painting and other art techniques to develop individual talent. A class in Industrial Arts was led by Miss St. George.

Enora Laughlin

ENGLISH POETS! The English department brought out the talent of those who can appreciate the arts—fine arts as well as literary. Studies in the really great literature and arts of the ages bring an integrated understanding of life for students of this department.

Albert Upton

Charles Cooper

Rober±a Forsberg

Ann Upton STUNNED! This was the word Dr. Upton used to describe the Freshmen taking Basic Communications. Stunned was also what the Freshmen admitted themselves to be after they discovered that the importance of Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy lay in the fact that it preceded whether. The students found from Dr. Upton's feet that Moby Dick swam on a hand-knitted sea of black wool, not a turbulent gray-blue sea. In groups of three and groups of seven, students found themselves involved, and so they classified on and on. Metaphorically speaking, however, it was strictly a case of "aye, there's the rub, because the willing but sometimes unable students just weren't relevantly related.

BASIC COMMUNICATIONS COACHES. Row I: Jerry McKinnon, Margaret WestfaII. Row 2: Pat Roberts, Barbara Freeman, Donna Lou Nelson, Jane Beal, Mrs. Upton, Everett Bell.

LANGUAGE

James Marshall

FOREIGN! The languages of other countries were a challenge to students. Dr. Gieseke projected German words into the mouths of his students. This was further developed through their Round Table meal where they spoke only German to each other. In the French classes, under Dr. Marshall's guidance visits were made to movies spoken in French in the Los Angeles region besides their regular studies. Grammatical study of the Spanish language was Miss Anderson's special field.

George Stoughton SPEECH AND DRAMA

CLINIC! The service of the speech and hearing clinic was a special asset to the college with its functions of training, and quidance for all it could reach. In the drama field students worked on play casts and designed miniature play sets in class. Speech classes received specific training in correct speaking procedures. Debaters were among the hard workers of this department showing good results at their tournaments.

VIVACE! The music department moved at a fast pace this year. Instructions for voice, piano, strings, and all kinds of band instru- ments were provided. A good marching band really enlivened spirits at sport outings. The college-community symphony orchestra performed at four concerts plus the annual Bach festival and convo programs. Good music came from one of the best choirs we've had, at concerts from here to the San Fran- cisco area. Extra attractions were singing for the International Folk Dance Festival and a concert of "Beowulf" with orchestral accompaniment.

FINANCE! The importance of money and the way it is handled is only a small portion of this department's study but one that means a great deal to everyone. Courses gave a basis for working in the business world of today. It is hoped that the statistics study made by Don Booth this year may pave the way for a statistics laboratory some day.

PSYCHOSES! Sections of the psychology departments are set up to offer the student backgrounds in general psy- choloqy, child development, and the abnormal individual. The study of normally adjusted people with regard to their mental development throughout life prepares better classroom teachers. Experiences in testing and measuring the performances of individuals are important to the psychology student. Help in recreational therapy at nearby mental institutions gave students more insight into the dynamic problems of Eugene Mills psychology. tELIGION

-OPERATION! Students worked together in their attempts to n about religious phases of life and history. Dr. Connick's classes e conducted with reports and freedom of discussion. Visiting dhist, Jewish, Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Protestant ;es of worship provided valuable experience. The Chapel Corn- ee presented worthwhile worship programs with increased osphere.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS! The Physical Edu- cation Department accomplished much this year in all phases of their program. With the keynote on teaching recreational activities that students can enjoy applying outside The classroom situation, the department offered numerous co-educational classes. The Freshman program was designed to help the class get to know one another and work together improving skills in team sports. From the professional standpoint, dance classes branched out into dance production and contributed much to Chapel and A.W.S. programs with their fine presentations. Students planning to enter the field Larne Prochaska were also a valuable asset to the community as instructors in sports, as officials, and as recreational activity leaders. One of the outstanding activities of the Physical Education Department this year was their participation in learning the newly invented game of Sacket, and being chosen to participate in the filming of a Sacket movie which will be released throughout the United States.

HISTORY

Harry Nerhood

James Merrill

HYSTERIA! The study of history is that of periods in which crise5 conflicts, and problems arise and are won or lost, solved or re adjusted. It was the task of history students that past year to lear about the causes and solutions of these facts that shape our lives

Dr. Nerhoods classes were well integrated with the policy that "I isn't what is that counts, its what man thinks is.'' Their studie covered ideas from countries that give backgrounds to our moder thought. Students developing their knowledge of history under Dr. tvierri disclosed many new and even entertaininq facts. "Hear It Now records provided a realistic picture of history as it really wa1 Even Charles l's "head" was dumped directly into the laps of Si Esme students.

PHILOSOPHY

REVOLUTION! The effects of all the changes in our modern, scientific world have a great impact on our sense of values. Courses in philosophy this year have em- phasized the relating of scientific philosophy today to the belief in God and the cosmos.

Kelvin Van Nuys POLITICAL SCIENCE

Ben Burnett SEMINARS! This unique system of classes was especially suited to the study of foreign policy, interna- Joseph Robinson tional problems, plus domestic interests. Political theory and com- parative governments were also investigated by these students preparing for life as valuable citizens. Encouragement and advice to those attending the Model United Nations was provided along with reorqanization of the Poly Sci Club for next fall. An increase in this department may be credited to the excellent faculty who are leaders in political activities. SOCIOLOGY

Robert W. O'Brien

HUMAN RELATIONS! All peoples of the world increasingly affect our lives, the students in sociology learned. Studies of the family, juvenile delinquency, and race relations with numerous field trips to law courts and restaurants of foreign countries aided understanding. Speakers, slides, and sorting clothes for the Friends were educational projects for the Sociology Club.

HOME ECONOMICS

REAL LIFE! Experiences in management of a home - planning nutritious meals, decorating and furnishing the home, and designing clothing - are valuable for the home economists. These principles were instructed by expert super- visors. An active Home Economics Club had programs of bridal consulting, consumer buying, and instructions on china. The Province meeting of the state-wide college Home Eco- nomics Clubs was held at Whittier this year. An Arab dinner besides the fall and spring banquets were other activities.

BUGS! Actual experiences in collecting and stuffing animals was an asset to biology students and to the lab collection. Field trips to the Borago Desert, the Mos- quito Control Commission, and the mountains resulted in specimens of birds, mammals, and reptiles - even including two sidewinders. For plant life study, students traveled to White Water Canyon, Kern River, and the beach to make their own collections. Members of the Biology Club were given opportunities to hear speakers tell of their experiences in the field.

YELL LEADERS. Carole Martin, Bea Spivey—head yell leader, Wilma Kama- kana, Bill Marumoto. The Rally Committee, under the chairmanship of Stu Gothold, had a large and active membership. Students were active on Publicity and Card Stunt Commit- tees, and the Homecoming Parade, under the direction of Janet Reese, was considered by many to be the best in Poet history. The committee was respon- sible for the change in the Homecoming Queen election, with each class being represented in the Queens court. Beginning with the Orientation Week Rally, and continuing through the year, the yell and song leaders worked hard to mould the Whittier spirit.

With Coach George Allen and assistant coaches Fred Burn, Dan Tebbs, and Jack Barnes at the con- trols, the Poet single-wing grid machine traveled a rather bumpy road during the 1954 season. Faced with a difficult 10-game schedule in which four of the first five games were played on Hadley Field turf, the Poets came through with a last ditch, 20-16 win at Flagstaff over Arizona State in the second game of the season. Occidental was victorious in a thrilling 13-7 game, the Poets being in the contest to the final whistle. The climax of the season was reached in the Homecoming game against L. A. State, in which our piqskinners rose to the occasion by defeating the Diablos, 21-0. A 19-19 tie with Redlands, in which the Poets staged a touchdown drive in the waning seconds of the game, gave us a - 2 - I record in conference play, and kept us out of the cellar. All-Conference selections included Jack Fox and Cliff Nelson, named to the first team; and Wayne Harris, Mary Hoover, and Carl Palmer, who won places on the second team.

The football oddity of the year occurred at Keith Gaynes, back Flagstaff against Arizona State. Poet end Russ Wiley blocked an Arizona State punt, and a Whittier man recovered the ball and ran for a TD. Arizona and the officials questioned the legality of running with a blocked punt. A full half hour was taken in discussion, the rule was never found, but the Poets won the argument and the ball game, 20-16.

59 HOME- COMING

Poets will long remember this year' Homecoming activities. Beginninc with the lavish "Coronation 954' staged by the Drama Department ii Harris Amphitheatre, and continuin through to the Homecoming gam victory over L.A. State, the week' activities were a huge success. "Kollege Kapers," theme of th Homecoming parade, provide many varied and beautiful floats with the Sweepstakes prize won b the Metaphonian Society. Many hig school bands and drill teams partici pated in the affair, adding color an enthusiasm to the activities.

The Poet pigskinners continued the spirit of the week's activities by playing inspired football to down the Diablos, 2 1-7. Gaynes, Haack, Palmer, Sackman and the hard-charg- ing forward wall showed the returning Alumni an example of power single-wing offense, capitalizing on all opportunities to send 6000 people home happy.

63 Ending the season with a 3 - 6 - I record, the Poet Varsity was not the best that ever trod the turf at Hadley Field, but as Coach Allen liked to say, "We built character this year." And certainly the hustle and fine sportsmanship displayed on the field was such that we were always proud of our Poet team.

The squad was hard hit by graduation, with fourteen seniors leaving the ranks. But with such returning lettermen as Captain Carl Palmer, Hoover, Blechen, Street, McNichols, and Gaynes, plus promising men up from the Frosh team, the prospects for next season are not too dim.

Above: "Creeper" Paul Chafe looks almost as happy as his grinning Pepperdine op- ponent, as he is about to be brought down after a sizable gain. The Waves subdued the Poets, 22-6.

Right: Bert Tracy attempting to revive his bench-mates. It was to no avail, however, as Pomona massacred the Allenmen, 31-6. Below: The Poet marching band makes an impressive appearance between the halves of the Pomona game. FROSH

The Poet Frosh started the season like world-beaters winning their first four games by comfortable margins. Looking awfully good by mid-season they slaught- ered the Cal Tech frosh 52-13 on Dads Day. They ran out of qas toward the end of the season, however, losing their final game to Oxy for the Conference Cham- pionship.

LOVELIES! These girls enioyed a prosperous year piping full of activities. There was the time Gene McMillan was crowned Home- coming Queen and the Athenians gained a beauty prize for their float. Then came alumni brunches, coffee for Dads, and a baked Sally Wilcox food project for the Y girls. Ice skating, a Christmas party, rushing and pledging plus participating in chapel programs meant more events to keep them hopping. And maybe the most fun was the costume party called Krazy Kampus Korny Kouples Kapers when everyone dressed like story book people.

NAPKINS! These boys punched their share of napkins to make their Homecoming float, a big snowball for advertising, and the eight-foot snowman at the Snowball. A prize for most humorous selection was captured for their float called the 'Pledges Ball." Their Snowball for the Student Body was a great success. During semester-break a goat hunt proved fun on San Clemente Island. This goat meat provided food for the spring rush at Arcadia Park. Fun time was had from a snow party on Table Mountain to a beach party at Little Corona.

103 BASKETBALL

This was the year for Bonny' and his crew, as they roared through the season compiling a 23-7 record, winning both the Long Beach State and Redlands tournaments, and shar- ing the Conference championship with Occidental. Only the presence of an unusually strong Oxy team, and their upset victory on the Tiger hardwood, kept the Poets from sweeping everything in sight. Nevertheless, the round- ballers had a 7-I record in conference play, and placed three men on the All-Conference squad. Those Poets honored were Captain Marlin Davis and Joe Wohlmuth on the first team, and Stan Hubert on the second team.

The Poet trademark, the fast break, was very much in evidence during the season, with the season's high score reached against Westmont, 102-49. Defense was certainly not neglected, the Poets being ranked third in the nation among small colleges, with a 60 point-a-game average defensively.

This year's Poet Varsity played thrilling basketball, coming Coach Aubrey Bonham from behind to win the close ones. Captain Marlin Davis, playing inspired ball from his center position, led the team in rebounds, as well as in total points scored. Highlight of the season for many fans was the fact that our rival, Pasadena Nazarene, was downed by convincing scores on four different occasions, twice with a tournament championship at stake.

The Freshman Basketball team had a good season, at times showing signs of potential greatness. The Poetbabes lost only two conference games, while defeating every team in the league at least once. Like their big brothers, they were a high-scoring outfit, reaching 106 points in one game. Under the tutelage of Frosh coach Jerry Johncox, several good Varsity prospects were developed, including Bill Harmon, Frank Bennett, Bob Osborn, and Neill Richards.

113 WOMEN'S SPORTS

EXERCISE! The physical abilities of the girls were given a chance to develop in their women's sports classes. Begin- ning with the freshmen year, the girls joined in a program of over-all sports to get a sample of each kind. From then on the girls get their choice of the elective courses. Included in the freshman activities were volleyball, softball, hockey, speedaway, basketball, folk dancing and others to improve body mechanics and posture. Orientation sections in this first year assisted the girls in getting settled in college and solving their own personal health programs. In the line of elective courses were bowling, badminton, tennis archery, social and folk dancing plus modern dance. Further modern dance experience was carried on in dance production and there were team sports for those who wished to continue them. Water fans found the beginners or advanced swimming classes to their liking. Degrees in life saving and instruction were achieved by swimmers besides other Red Cross degrees. Those majoring in P.E. gained valuable experience in the major sports class. In this course covering a three year cycle, majors learned the various sports better and also how to officiate. This experience is carried over into the coaching program and officiating for nearby high schools. The newest addition to Physical Education this year was the recently developed game "sachet." Students participating in this discovered themselves acting in a film made at the college. The women's Physical Education department tries to give each girl a chance to find at least one activity that she does well enough to continue on her own when she is out of college.

TALENTED! By this year the members of the lunior class began to feel they had talent lust to stay in school. Such a busy year included the square dance during Orientation Week and the after game dance when Peter Poet was lost. A hayride, an evening vesper service and folk dancing for a children's home were fun, but the Junior-Senior Prom was the best.

DEADLINES! Goal of the year was a six-page paper every week and coverage of all the news. Nancy's newslines sparked the editions, Yardboy's "Tilt" continued to be a sensation, while Ann's "Annotations" and Toots' ''Chaffin with Catlin" gave insight on the society scoops. Jane and Barbara interpreted items from other campus papers in addition to wonderful features. Bill attended all sport events while Wade watched over all. Ray Lentzsch acted in advisory capacities in regard to copy and Mr. Dill did the fine photography. Professors seemed to think the 90 was nice, too, but did seem to object a little to the students preference of it over lectures in Friday's classes. All in all, it was a big job well done.

SCINTILLATING! Spring united voices of the college societies and organizations into sparkling music at the fourth annual Spring Sing. The freshman class walked off with the Sweepstakes award and first place in the mixed division. The Penn Society sang themselves into first place for men with the Lancers placing a close second, and the Sachsens, third. At the top of the women's division was the Ionian Society, followed by the Metaphonians in second, and the Athenians in third. For the small division first place the Lancer quartet made a hit, the Green Peppers were not far behind, and third place was taken by the Fran kli ns. SMALL DIVISION was won by the Lancer Society for the second straight year with their versions of "After Dark," and "Dry Bones."

SUCCESSFUL! After four years of striving, the seniors completed their undergraduate studies. This year they planned a dance following a football game, and went hayrid- ing with the juniors. The luniors gave a Prom for the seniors' benefit but the biggest part of the year was spent in preparation for graduation. Baccalaureate, a farewell party, a luau, brunch with the faculty, and finally, commencement brought this last year to an end. Seniors fake advantage of their very own bench.

BASEBALL

Playing in the newly built stadium in Wor- sham Canyon, the Poet Varsity horsehiders began the season in a rather shaky fashion, losing more than they were winning. How- ever, the Team rounded into shape, and won its first Conference outing against Pomona. Looking good for the Poets were returning players Paul Bryeans and Stan Hubert, as well as regulars Jack Powell, Carl Palmer and Art Jessup.

Del Westlund races to first after laying down a bunt in our opening league game against Pomona. Remarkable as it may seem, the first baseman dropped the ball, and Del became the potential winning run. Westlund later scored as the Poets de- feated the Sagehens, 9-8. The baseball team had a spotty record in practice games, but was rounding into shape and looking good as the season began.

Coach Aubrey Bonham faced a most difficult lob in rebuilding the track team, which was annihilated by graduation last year. With an absence of men in some events and doubling up to enter in others, the Poets were able to salvage a victory only against Redlands in Conference meets. Outstanding individual efforts included Bill Harris' 50.4 in the 440 yard dash, tyinq the school record, and Mickey Winget's 192 foot toss in the lavelin throw. Jack Fox and Ross McMillin, Conference champions last year in the pole vault and high hurdles, continued to annex points for the Poets, as did Nick Street in the hurdle events. The Poets were hard hit by the loss of ace distance man Paul Black due to conference ineligibility.

The Poets, traditionally weak in field events, found two outstanding performers there this season. Mickey Winqet seemed destined to eclipse 200 feet in the javelin throw, while Bob Bland, in his first season of track competition, had cleared 6'3" in the high jump by mid-season.

157 Don Harner and Eric Widell along with Tom Tellez, Brad Merrill, and Dale Headley, were the Poets middle and long distanc runners this year.

159 SWIMMING

This year marked the first meet victory in the five year history of the swim team. The fine showing of the team was due to a great degree to the arrival of Jerry LaBonte, who has virtually rewritten the record book at Whittier Col- lege. LaBonte has set school records in the 200 yard breaststroke, the 150 yard individual medley, the 100 yard individual medley and the 220 yard freestyle. La- Bonte set a National YMCA mark in the 200 yard breaststroke by swimming the distance in 2:29.6. Together with Captain Wade Askew, the Captain Wade Askew Jerry La Bonte pair were virtual winners in every event they entered for the Poets.

Plagued by the loss of the first five singles men from last year's squad, the tennis team was hard pressed for victories this year. The one bright spot in the Poets' tennis future was the improved showing of John Avila.
