OCTOBER 1952 HOMECOMING OCTOBER 18 Page 5 Nixon Active in Music, Sports, Drama, Debate While College Student From president of his college fresh- man class to the candidacy for the office of Vice President of the Unit- ed States—that is the thrilling story of Dick Nixon, '34. His nomination by the Republican Convention culminated a 22-year rise that found him making achieve- ments as college fresh prexy, student body president in his senior year, law-degree winner at Duke Univer- sity, junior partner in a Whittier law office, naval officer during World War II, United States Congress- man and United States Senator. As a student at Whittier College Dick Nixon compiled an outstanding record academically and otherwise. His high grades (27 A's, 22 B's, 5 C's) enabled him to make the school's Honor Society in each of his four years. Here at Whittier he began carv- ing for himself a fame for oratory and public speaking and a reputa- tion of being a leader. He became the intercollegiate extemporaneous speaking champion of Southern Cal- ifornia in 1934. He also sang in the Men's Glee Club and acted in sev- eral theatrical productions, includ- ing a starring role in "Bird in Hand" in 1933. But he was too light to play foot- ball, though this did not deter him from coming out for the team and giving his best in practices. He was a charter member and first president of the Orthogonian Society. Four of his Whittier College in- structors are still on the faculty— Dr. Paul S. Smith (history), Dr. Al- bert W. Upton (English literature and journalism), Miss Esther An- drews (French) and Dr. J. Herschel Coffin (philosophy). Three others are no longer on the faculty but are residents and were here for the Dick Nixon Home- coming July 28-Wallace "Chief" Newman (physical education and football), Dr. Louis T.

Much of Allen's holdover strength rests with young sophomores who tasted combat last fall as freshmen. Of the ten seniors, only a few have seen consistent service. The same is true with much of the junior group. But everybody will be better for last year's tough knocks (the '51 club beat Caltech and Pomona- Claremont but lost seven games), and the new blood moving in as transfers will help to restore circu- lation, all observers are saying.

It will not have much depth in the line, espec- ially at the wings, where four regu- lars went the way of graduation.
