ATHLETIC

ABSURDITY MRS. HERBERT HOOVER To Mrs. Herbert Hoover, in appreciation of the honor she accoideci Whittier College, we dedicate this book. —CLASS OF 1930. WHITTIER COLLEGE had its beginning in 1891 as a little Friends academy. But even as early as 1887 the idea of an educational institution had become the dream of several public-spirited Friends. They obtained a grant of land, known as Reservoir Hill, and plans were drawn up for several buildings. But due to lack of funds, the project failed. It was not abandoned however, and on Sep- tember 23, 1891, the academy was opened on east Philadelphia street. There were two fine teachers, John Chawner and William Coffin, who offered their services to the new enterprise. The first student body had only thirteen members. The growth of the school was very slow, but, in 1893 the student body numbered one hundred and ten. The school was at this time given a gift of fourteen acres, part of the present campus, by Washington Hadley. In 1901 under the able leadership of Charles Tebbetts the academy became a college. The preparatory work was retained, however, for several years as a part of the College curriculum. In 1903 Whittier College gave its first degrees. In 1907 President Tebbetts resigned and Thomas Newlin became the head of the college. With President Newlin origin- ated the slogan "Greater Whittier College." He at once began a campaign for more money and more buildings. The old Girls Dormitory, now the library, was built in 1910. In 1915 Absalom Rosenberger succeeded Dr. Newlin as president. He was president of the college through the difficult years of the World War. For three years work was practically at a standstill. Eighty-four men left the campus to fight for America. Two of them gave their lives in service. In 1918 Harry M. Wright became president. "Greater Whittier College" became the goal of the college community and the town of Whittier. Naylor Hall, built in 1918, was the cornerstone on which the enlarged institution was to be founded. In 1924, with the coming of Walter F. Dexter, "Greater Whittier College" began to be a fact instead of merely a goal. The growth of the college in the last few years has been phenomenal. In 1924-25 Aubrey Wardman presented Whittier with two new buildings, a gymnasium and a men's dormitory. 1927-28 was a year of great achievement. Whittier was at last recognized by the Association of American Universities and by the State University of California. The State Board of Education conferred its approval upon the teacher's training course of the college. Platner Hall, a dormitory for women, was built in 1928. Whittier has not ceased advancing. Every year sees greater growth in the student body, the faculty, and the campus. The college is even now gaining promi- nence, and in a few years will be one of the most outstanding of American universities and colleges.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

WHITTIER COLLEGE is organized and maintained for the purpose of creat- ive, Christian thinking. It is the means through which knowledge in a formal way is passed from one generation to another. It stands in mod- ern life as an expression of good-will, for it is the product of the efforts of pioneers who were interested only in the best possible adjustment between the individual and society. The Junior Class, through the medium of the Acropolis, has the privilege of carrying the story of this year's work, which, in the final analysis, has proved to be one in which a large amount of purposeful thinking has been done. This accomplishment is one of the highest when considered in terms of social progress. I am sure that every member of the college community will appreciate this volume of the Acropolis. The class is to be congratulated upon its production.

DEAN'S MESSAGE

DISTINCTIVENESS is, in these days, one of the hardest qualities to achieve. Houses, automobiles, radios, jewelry and breakfast foods are each manu- factured after its kind upon a single pattern. So, too, many of our ideas and mental attitudes are fashioned after some pattern or other. Mencheri and Babson, for example, might represent extremes in the possibilities of idea patterns. In the field of education, too, we are subject to the same tendency to become so standardized as to be precisely like everybody else. Each institution tends to measure itself by comparison with other institutions rather than in terms of actual achievement in making personality in the lives of its students. At Whittier College those in charge have undertaken to measure the institution and its members by the measuring rod of idealism. Our question is: "What is right?" rather than, "What is customary?" Our desire is to achieve distinctiveness in scholarship, in teaching-content, in method, in administration, and in moral tone. This is part of what we have meant by "The Whittier Idea." To be sold on the principle of making and maintaining Whittier College a distinctive institution is the essence of loyalty to the college. In these days of mass production in the field of education, distinctiveness would seem to be one reason, if not the only one, for maintaining a small college. So those who sponsor Whittier College are seeking faculty members and students who are sufficiently independent to stand for procedures which may sometimes be unconventional but which express the kind of educational philosophy that animates our efforts. Loyalty to those things for which this philosophy stands is the leading educational virtue to which any of our members can aspire.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

FouR YEARS! How long they seemed when first we entered Whittier's halls and how short they appear as we look back over the events of our college career. And now as commencement time draws near, we pause for a moment before taking arms in the great battle of life to recall to mind the highlights of those happy years. As is traditional, we were the greenest of green when first we approched the hilltop. But not for long. With our class, the college insti- tuted Freshman Week, and with a week all to ourselves we soon learned that "Oxy had a son," and by the first chapel meeting we could sing the "Alma Mater" as lustily as the Sophomores. Then we must not forget those entrance exams, English and Psychology, when the faculty learned that we all had an "I Q." of 131/ and had not found out that there ain't no such word as ain't. No, we will never forget those exams. And then the Faculty-Freshman dinner which brought the week to a close and made us full-fledged members of the Whittier family. Somehow we struggled through the first year (they say the first four are the hardest), and were on hand to greet the class of '30 as we were greeted the year before. The most important events of the Freshman year were the tug-of-war, won by the Sophomores, the Freshman play, "The Potboilers," and the Junior-Freshman hay-ride to Gravel Canyon. Then for a whole year we were high and lordly Sophomores. Revenge is sweet and we dragged the frosh through the mud twice to earn the privilege of having our class numerals on "the rock." The Seniors entertained us with a steak-bake at Stephenson's Bridge, and a good time was had by all. Once again we burst forth into footlight fame, this time with "The Great Doughnut Corporation." For good behavior they allowed us to descend the stairs to the left front section of the chapel after a year in the balcony. Then we sprouted forth in cords and wouldn't have anything to do with under classmen. We did repent long enough to entertain the Freshmen with a steak- bake at the Belmont Beach Club. It was nice in the moonlight on the beach according to a few of the more amorous members of the class. Of course the frosh were too young to indulge in such sport. The class thespians worked long and hard to present a good Junior play. A real collegiate comedy, "The Poor Nut," played to two full houses and was given an extra performance for the boys at the State School. Entertaining the Seniors on Ditch Day, a delightful mountain party was held at Big Pines Recreation Camp, followed by dinner at the Moulin Rouge Cafe in Los Angeles.

Page Thirty-one { A c r o p o ii's

Another summer vacation, and we returned to find ourselves privileged to sit on the right hand side of the chapel. Seniors! The girls sprouted out in bright multi-colored blazer coats and the men adorned themselves with Senior stetsons. Whereas a year before we had refused to recognize a lower classman, now we hardly stooped to recognize a member of our own class. But then, the novelty of our power soon wore off and we settled down to enjoy the best year of our college life. We turned intellectual and entertained the Sophomores at a theater party, going to see Edward Everett Horton in Shaw's "Arms and the Man" at the Vine Street Theater in Hollywood. Once more we stole away from classes for a day of jollity, this time as guests of the Juniors. But going to parties and giving plays were not the only things that occupied our time while in Whittier's halls. Occasionally we studied, with the result that we always had a good representation on the honor roll. Nine members of the class brought honor to themselves by securing a place on the roll at the end of the first semester of the Senior year. Again, we were well represented in athletics, both men's and girls'. Every branch of sport found members of the class of '29 making names for themselves. Forensics claimed its share of support from members of the class as did each of the many and varied student activities. So, we look forward to the events of Senior Week with mingled thoughts of pleasure and sadness. Pleasure that comes from the satisfaction of four years well spent, and sadness that springs from the realization that we are soon to leave it all behind. We ask that our failures be for- gotten and promise ever to bring honor to our Alma Mater as we strive to accomplish our life ambitions.

So hail to dear old Whittier, Proud mistress of the West; With heart and voice we praise thee, The one we love the best.

FRESHMAN CLASS DURING FRESHMAN WEEK a goodly number of the class of '32 started things off with a splash with the Faculty-Freshman reception at the Friends church, during which youth and wisdom—strange paradox—began the process of getting used to each other. The next splurge was a nifty banquet at the Marigold Gardens in Monrovia, thrown by the Juniors and caught by the appreciative Fresh- men. Later in the year the two lower classes took a day off to frolic about on the ice at Big Pines. Among the notable achievements of the class, let us not forget Ray Cook's extemporaneous speaking triumph over all conference competition, the snappy football squad Coach Brown turned out, the record-breaking basketball and baseball outfits by Coach Kellog. The feminine yearlings copped the school basketball honors, and added to the glory of the sex and class.

It ORGANIZATIONS A C r o p o 1 i s

ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY THE AIM of the Student Body under the direction of President Arthur Hanson has been to cooperate with the varied campus activities and with colleges of the conference. Several things have been accomplished this year. Exchange chapel programs have been made with Pomona, Caltech, Oxy, and La Verne. The main annual social events were held as usual: the Student Body Reception, the Football Banquet, and the May Day Picnic. Whittier has again been represented in the Pacific Student Presidents Association, an organization of great value in the furthering of intercollegiate relations. The officers directing the affairs of the Student Body were: President - - ARTHUR HANSON Vice President - - MANLY REITZ Secretary - FRANCES BRABROOK Treasurer - - ----- RUSSELL ADAMS Members-at-Large HARRY SMITH, JEAN MCWH0RTER Page Fif &y-f our -€{ A c r o p o 11 s

ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENTS

THE A. W. S., organized in the spring of 1926, has done more perhaps than any other organization on the campus to bring about a real spirit of cooperation and goodwill. Its membership includes every girl of the student body and its activities furnish fun and activity for all. With this end in view the A. W. S. has sought to rival no other women's organizations on the campus. The business of this organization is carried on by the executive board, composed of the Presidents of every women's organization and the Dean of Women as well as the officers elected from the girls of the student body at large. The work for the year was planned at a three-day rendezvous at Camp Arbolado which was attended by the members of the executive board. The first event planned was a breakfast for the Freshman girls to be given during Freshman Week in the amphitheater. In this way our new members came in contact with all our organizations on the campus. The largest project of the A. W. S. for this year was the inauguration of the budget system. Under this method the Y. W. C. A., W. A. A., Met- aphonian, Palmer, and the A. W. S., through the cooperation of all the women students, earned the money for the functioning of their respective organizations. The budget has been raised by the giving of a carnival, dues, and the sponsoring of the play "Applesauce." Much of the success of the carnival was due to the help of the Franklins and dorm men who put on a Crazy House and Minstrel Show. The Y. M. C. A. showed their culinary skill by serving toasted sandwiches and hot dogs. Five meetings were planned during the year. Outstanding among these meetings was a talk by Mrs. J. P. Buwalda on "The Woman Of- fender" and a Spring Fashion Show to which the mothers were invited. One of the most interesting features of the A. W. S. has been the sponsoring of the Peppers organization. There are four Peppers Clubs composed of the girls from each class. The purpose of these societies is to help the girls know each other better. The A. W. S. feels that it has had a very successful year, and is looking forward to an even more successful future. The executive officers for the year 1928-29 were: President - GERTRUDE KINNEAR Vice-President - FRANCES BRABROOK Secretary ELEANOR PATTERSON Treasurer ------ELLA KIRKABY

THE JOINT COUNCIL OF CONTROL

THE JOINT COUNCIL is composed of three representatives from each class, six faculty members, and the President of the Student Body. The council is a joint organization of faculty and students that has for its purpose the discussion of such problems as are of equal interest to these two groups. Its aim is to bring about cooperation between faculty and students in solving problems of the campus. During the year investigations have been made of such problems as the honor system, parking on the campus, the present examination system, and the question of dancing on the campus.

PALMER LITERARY SOCIETY

PALMER, the pioneer literary society on the campus, finds herself once more at the close of a successful year. Successful because of accomplished ideals in social, literary, and dramatic fields. A tea for new girls was given at the first of the year, and in November the annual Formal was held in the romantic Mission Inn Banquet Hall. A cup was presented by the society to the winner of the extemporaneous contest—in order to promote forensics among women. During the second semester a play, written and directed by Ruth Pearson, was presented in chapel, and was voted a great success. So with the closing of the year '28-'29 we wish to bid farewell to the Seniors with sadness in our hearts, but we look forward to next year with expectations of greater activity and progress.

METAPHONIAN SOCIETY

THE METAPHONIAN SOCIETY endeavors to combine educational, cultural, and social activities. This plan makes possible the varied programs which have been especially interesting this year. The regular semi-monthly meetings have been held, the first meeting of every month being a supper meeting. Early last fall a tea and a breakfast were given to which the new girls were invited. After that came the formal initiation. The annual Meta- phonian Formal was held in Hollywood. After dinner at the Pig 'n Whistle the group adjourned to the El Capitan Theater. During the second semester the society entertained at an informal dinner at "Ye Hidden Inn." The week-end party at Mt. Baldy was, as usual, a great success. Other social events included an exchange meeting with the Palmers, a Christmas party held prior to the holidays, a joint meeting with the Franklin Society, and the tea for the Palmers.

FRANKLIN SOCIETY THE SCHOOL YEAR 1928-1929 has been exceptionally successful for the Franklin Society. A large and enthusiastic membership made possible participation in almost every branch of school activities. The Franklin Banquet, the society's annual "soup and fish" affair, took the form of a theater and dinner party. The second semester saw the production of the annual "Stag Follies," the play this year being "Pals First." It was given in the new Bailey auditorium and was well received. "Poor Richard's Al-maniac," the society's humor magazine, growing from thirty-two to forty-eight pages in its second year, sold to the tune of six hundred copies. A beach party and a "stag" to Catalina completed the events of a very successful year.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY of Whittier College was first organized in Sep- tember, 1925, with thirty charter members and Dr. Paul Smith as advisor. No meetings were held in 1926; however, the society was reorganized during the first semester of 1927 and is fast becoming one of the most important societies on the campus. Dr. Smith, advisor, and Earl Clevenger, president, have led the club through a very enjoyable year. ". . . the cultivation within its membership of a true appreciation of the place of history in present-day life" is the purpose of the society. Membership is limited to the history majors and those having history as a primary subject in group major. The main social event of the year was the dinner and theater party held at "Emile's Chateau Cafe" and Hollywood Playhouse. The society is planning to sponsor a movie at the Golden Gate Theater sometime before the school year is over.

FOUNDATION SOCIETY DURING THE past year the Foundation has made great strides in its study of physical phenomena. The first semester was devoted to the study of Geology, with a number of field trips to the desert and Death Valley. On these trips numerous samples of rock and ore were collected, which are now being clasified by the Foundation curators. It is hoped to have some of the more interesting specimens on display sometime during the coming year. During the second semester the members of the organization studied Minerology. A number of outside speakers contributed to the work of the organization, and in some instances have donated valuable mineral collections. More interest has been taken this year in Biology than in previous years and the organization has enjoyed a number of lectures on this subject. Recently there has developed an interest in Archeology and a few of the members have affiliated themselves with the Southwestern Archeological Federation. It is not to be thought that the activities of the Foundation are con- fined to study and research alone. A short social meeting is held every week for an hour before the lectures are presented and the field trips afford an opportunity for recreation and relaxation.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB

THE ACTIVITIES of the Cosmopolitan Club are centered around the general theme of better student understanding of the world. It is a social organization in which the American student membership may never exceed the foreign student membership, and is composed of students who are interested in the promotion of better understanding. At present there are fourteen different nationalities represented among the thirty-five members. In this, its third year of existence, the club has more fully realized its aims, and a steady increase in membership has made possible a very successful year of work. During the year the organization has provided several chapel programs, kept the Cosmopolitan bulletin board supplied with news of interest from various parts of the world, sent a peppy dele- gation to the Southern California Cosmopolitan Conference at Occidental College. In addition to the regular social and business meetings, a theater party was enjoyed early in the first semester, and the club has scheduled its annual banquet to take place near the end of the second semester. The "Whittier Collegio Cosmopolito" is filling a distinctly unique place in student activities, and has already proven itself one of the most active and promising organizations on the campus.

LA TERTULIA ESPANOLA

THIS YEAR "La Tertulia Espaflola," a social organization for advanced Spanish students, has had great success in giving an opportunity for con- versation and furthering an interest in Spanish. Many enjoyable meetings were held and especially was the last meeting enjoyed—a banquet held at the Spanish Inn in Los Angeles. Professor Anderson and Professor McLean are the advisors; and the club, which consists of about thirty members, is an extremely active one.

PHILOSOPHY CLUB

THE PHILOSOPHY CLUB has done much in its field the past two semesters of school. The organization has been kept small, but each member has contributed his bit. The majority of the fortnightly meetings, weather permitting, were held before Dr. Coffin's outdoor fireplace at his home in Whittier. Many juicy steaks, both large and small, in combination with other good eats were consumed before the crackling embers and flickering candlelight. Each member in turn had charge of leading the discussion at a meeting at which varied philosophical subjects were discussed. Some of the subjects dwelt upon were: "The History of Philosophy," "The Relation of Science to Religion," "Hedonism," "Socrates," and "A Definition of Re- ligion." Some lengthy discussions often held sway far into the night. Also a few speakers from off the campus were invited to speak upon some philosophical questions. A joint meeting with the Cosmopolitan Club was featured the latter part of the second semester. Not only does such an organization help each member to think more clearly and to express himself more thoroughly, but it also helps each one to shape his own philosophy of life. During the last semester several of the fair sex often felt philosoph- ically inclined and were privileged to attend the meeting: namely, the Misses French, Cole, Wilkie, and Kinnear. Dr. Coffin, as faculty adviser, and Dr. Wilkie, as an honorary member, contributed much to the club's progress.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLUB

THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLUB was organized during the latter part of the first semester, the purpose being to stimulate a greater interest in this field. The club meets twice a month and at these meetings has discussions on the various women's sports. Whenever possible we have had speakers, such as Miss Cubberly of U. C. L. A., who gave a very interesting talk on hockey and how it should be played. Mrs. McKee of the Whittier College Faculty, Miss Loop of Redondo, and others have presented very interesting subjects to the members and all of these have been greatly appreciated. It is hoped that next year it will be possible to have many more of these educational talks.

THALIAN LITERARY SOCIETY

UPON THE CAMPUS of Whittier College a new girls' literary society has been organized. Under the guidance and inspiration of Miss Mendenhall six girls have drawn up a constitution and chosen the name of Thalian Literary Society. The aim of the group as expressed in the constitution is "to promote social, physical, mental, and spiritual development through wholesome expression in appropriate lines." Beginning with the six charter members, who later became the officers, the society has grown considerably in the short time since it was organized. At a recent meeting the following girls were admitted: Mary Wells, Alice Eckerman, Jessie Sanborn, Catherine Gregory, Clara Smith, Faye Eckard, and Lois Patterson. Although the remainder of the semester will pass quickly, the Thalians are working to gain a firmer basis upon which to build a successful program next year.

ATHENIAN SOCIETY

ORGANIZED JUST at the beginning of the second semester, the Athenian Society has made quick development as one of the women's organizations on the campus. The purpose of the society is to promote tolerance among the girls and to broaden their viewpoint. The society holds regular semi-monthly meetings which are to be devoted to the study of various phases of art, music, literature, and crafts. With a firm foundation the Athenian Society is looking forward to a very successful future.

BIOLOGY CLUB

FOR A LONG TIME some students felt the need of an organization to promote the gathering and dissemination of biological information. Last fall with a common interest in natural science they organized the Biology Club for this purpose. We have been especially favored by visitors from different profes- sions. Among them were Mr. George Thoman, who lectured on termite control, Mrs. Aborn, who gave a biography of a famous entomologist in the Philippine Islands, Dr. Bold, whose talk was on the sinuses of the head, and others. We extend our thanks to these and all others who have helped make the first year of the club a success. Two concluding high points in the year were a trip to Balboa Island and one to the Los Angeles General Hospital. At the beach we got acquainted with one part of nature and found a large field for study and pleasure. The authorities at the hospital were very courteous and showed us the important parts of their institution. We believe that this year is a beginning of an important society on the campus which will aid in scientific enlightenment on matters of general interest. We are recognized by the faculty and hope to be worthy of the recognition.

LIFE WORK RECRUITS

THE LIFE WORK RECRUIT BAND is an organization of students who are actively interested in Christian work. It includes those who are preparing for full time service at home and abroad and those who are interested, but do not know now what field of work they will enter. Regular meetings have been held and an active program of deputation work has been carried on throughout the year.

THE W. A. A.

THE WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION is the local branch of the national organization. It fosters women's athletics on the campus, limiting competition to interclass activity, feeling that this gives a wider scope. Every year one of the colleges in Southern California entertains the others at a Play Day where all types of competition are offered. Payment of dues and a C average in twelve units entitles anyone to the privileges of the association and participation in all sports. The point system is used in making awards. Any girl making 250 points has the privilege of wearing the W. A. A. pin, and girls making 1000 points are awarded W sweaters, the highest award.

THE VARSITY CLUB is composed of men who have won a letter in any major sport. This club since its organization in 1925 has been functioning more strongly than ever before in its history. And in the past school year under the guidance of Lisle Sheldon the club has completed a most successful year. The outstanding social event of the year was the annual intervarsity club banquet to create better understanding and friendship between the athletes of the various schools, held at Pomona, with men attending from all conference colleges. Another event was a delightful theater party to see Leo Carillo in "Lombardi, Limited" at the Hollywood Playhouse. "Red-hot initiations" were held for new members, as were special luncheons served at the Boarding Club for the Varsity Club. The officers this year have done much to promote the club's activities and it is impossible to estimate the value of their work.

Y.W.C.A. THE Y. W. FEELS that this year has been a successful one. Meetings, con- sisting of music and talks, have been held weekly. One of the big enter- prises undertaken jointly by the Y. M. and Y. W. was a luncheon given during Freshman Week for the new students. The annual Dove Party was also sponsored by the Y. W. at the first of the year for the Big and Little Sisters. What the association believes to be one of its biggest accomplish. ments for some time is the procuring and furnishing of a Y. W. room, to be used by all women students.

Y.M.C.A. THE "Y" has undergone a reorganization during the year. The direction of this reorganization may be best shown by the name "Campus Service Club." Although the new plan is not perfect, the Campus Service Club is striving toward a better cooperation between individuals and organizations on the campus. Next year is one of promise for both Whittier College and the "Y."

PLATNER HALL WITH A brand new building, a brand new set of house rules, and twenty- two brand new Frosh, besides twenty-four Sophomores and upper classmen, Platner Hall started off with a bang. Beginning with an open house at which nearly one thousand in- spected the new dorm, the Platnerites have had one round of parties, feeds, get-togethers, teas, and socials, not to mention lessons, for study they did, as is proved by their high scholarship record. Platnerites were always on their best behavior, for visitors were apt to be shown thru the rooms at the most unusual times. The lounge with its spacious overstuffed furniture and softly shaded lights was an ideal place to entertain visitors. (Ask any of the fellows from Wardman, they know.) As the year closes, we are glad that we can look back upon many happy memories and can look forward to next fall when we will again take up our abode in Platner Hall.

BOLTE HALL

BOLTE HALL and the Annex have gone through a quiet, enjoyable year dun ing 1928-29. The first event in September was the initiation of the green Frosh and a good deal of excitement over this was shown for a few days. Next followed a party with Platner where said Frosh were initiated into the du. ties of the after-party cleaning up. The girls of Bolte assisted in the dorm skating party given by the boys at Wardman to the dormitory girls. Peggy Keating served as dormitory president at Bolte through both semesters. She, with her committees, planned several delightful parties for the girls. Bolte had for its hostess Miss Marjorie Hoyer of the mathematics department.

WARDMAN HALL

THE LIVELIEST spot on the campus this year has been Wardman Hall. All the rooms have been occupied by a good, peppy bunch of fellows. The Frosh were placed on the first floor, as befits those of such lowly standing. In spite of this handicap, the end of the year finds them acceptable as real sports. The men, under Fred Ashton the first semester and Cal Smith the second, have given several parties for the girls and have reorganized the government of the dorm by adopting a new constitution. The column, "Words from Wardman," in the Quaker Campus, has from time to time recorded the doings of the dorm men. Let's all be back next year.

MEN'S DEBATE

As THIS REPORT goes to press the conference debates for the representatives of the purple and gold have not been held. However, with two vet- erans back from last year's squad, a good showing was assured for the supporters of this branch of Whittier's extra-curricular activities. Those engaging for places on the team included the following: Leon Lee, George Anderson, Wright Cook, Calvin Smith, Harry King, and others. Too much credit cannot be given Professor Eugene Knox, who was never too busy to coach the aspiring orators any time of the day or night. Professor Knox, this year as in the past, has had enough extra work expected of him as would ordinarily take the regular time of three or four men in his capacity of debate coach, play coach for every occasion of such nature, instructor of oral expression, public speaking, as well as his priv. ate students in oral work. Whittier College should be mighty proud to be able to hold on to such a capable professor. Besides the regular conference debates, certain non-conference contests were arranged with the following schools: University of Southern California, Southwestern University, and Brigham Young University.

Page Ninety-two -f A c r o p o 1 i s

The conference question was: "Resolved, That the Existing Ameri- can Jury System is Inimical to the Administration of Justice." A preparation for the future has been introduced this year at Whit- tier, namely a Freshman debate team, of which Paul Johnson, '32, was appointed manager. Next year this present somewhat green material will form, undoubtedly, a large part of the varsity teams. Another innovation into the forensic program was the interclass debates. The two lower classes hooked up in chapel one morning, being followed by the two upper classes, concluding with the two winners fighting it out for the championship of the school. The winning team, from the class of '30, consisted of Margaret McLean and Leon Lee. These two were presented with a brand new perpetual trophy for interclass debate winners, a gift of the Franklin Society. Taking good care of the thousand and one little jobs connected with the position of Forensic Manager, as well a a rLtber of other positions to which he was elected during his four years representing the purple and gold, Lester Gates leaves a place difficult to fill. Especially has Gates ele- vated forensics to its proper place among the leading activities of the college. This hard worker also held the position of secretary-treasurer of the Southern California Speaking Conference for the past year. May that ambitious, dependable, ever-busy young student of science be as successful in his later work as he has been at Whittier.

Page Ninety-three -f A c r q p o ii S

WOMEN'S DEBATE

MORE INTEREST was shown by the girls this year than ever before in the four years that Whittier has had a women's debate squad. We were very fortunate in having two affirmative and two negative teams for the Con- ference debates. Previous years we have had only one team and that has been hard to get, so indications are that Whittier College will have better years for debate in the future. The teams this year debated the question: "Resolved, That the Movies are Detrimental to Civilization," in the conference debates and in a post- season debate with Southwestern University. All but one of the conference debates were lost by two-to-one decisions, and it was lost by a three-to- nothing decision. In view of the fact that the girls have had no coaching we may feel proud of their achievement. After the regular season there were three post-season debates, one with U. S. C., one with Linfield College from Oregon, and a dual debate with Southwest University. Those debating were: Carol Howland, Georgia Follett, Louise Schoon- over, and Sheila Murray, affirmative, and Margaret McLean, Ruth Pear- son, Mary Takahashi, Miriam Tarlow, and Elsie Pridham, negative.

MEN'S EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING CONTEST

THIS YEAR the topic for the men's extempo contest, the local being the same as that of the conference later on, was "The Reform of the California State Criminal Procedure." The participants in the local contest were the following: Calvin Smith, Vernon Ladd, Prentiss Moore, Ernest Blackburn, and Ray Cook. There was much enthusiasm displayed by the student body towards the individual talent exhibited. Finally after much deliberation, the judges returned a verdict in favor of the Freshman class representative, Mr. Cook. Ten days later Ray showed his appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him by winning first place in the Conference Contest at La Verne College. By this last achievement he brought to Whittier a large silver loving cup for one year. If Mr. Cook has the good fortune of winning the cup three more succeeding times he will be able to keep the cup for himself. Three great hopes for the sorrel-topped youngster of the class of '32.

WOMEN'S EXTEMPO CONTEST

THE WOMEN'S extempo contest this year was held in chapel on February 25. The three entrants gave a very interesting discussion of the subject, "Reform of the California State Criminal Procedure." The question was divided by Dr. Williams, and the girls given their topics thirty minutes before the contest. The winner, Miriam Thompson, was presented with a silver loving cup by the Palmer Literary Society. Miss Thompson was allowed to keep the cup, and Anna Henderson, president of Palmer, an- nounced that a cup would be given to the winner each year. Miss Thompson also represented Whittier at the Conference Contest at Occi- dental on March 7. The other contestants in the local contest were Sheila Murray and Ruth Pearson.

QUAKER CAMPUS

UNDER THE guiding hand of Homer Halvorson, the Quaker Campus has passed through the most succesful year since its first issue. Every paper has been complimented for its completeness and interest by students and faculty, and the new features and the clever handling of news have re- flected the growth of the Whittier Idea. Unusual credit is due to Leon Lee for his capable handling of the business of the paper.

THE 1929 ACROPOLIS is the accurate record of the past year's activities at Whittier College and we offer it as truly representative of the lives, organizations, accomplishments, and traditions of Whittier College students. It has been the hope of the staff that this book will be a pleasant memory, in later years bringing back the tears and laughter, the happy days and the sad days that were spent at Whittier College. The book is proof of the steady growth and development of Whittier and is a promise of the still better things that will come to Whittier in the future. The staff wishes to acknowledge their gratitude to Jesse Marling for his efforts in photography and to all others who assisted in the production of this book.

STUDENT HAND BOOK

THE STUDENT HAND BOOK is presented at the beginning of each school year to the Freshmen and other new students. Its purpose is to familiarize the new students with their new home at Whittier College and to explain its ideals, traditions, and customs. It also lists the various activities and records of the college and presents a calendar for the school year. It has constant use as a handy reference and memorandum book. Freshmen are required to carry the book with them at all times. This year's issue of the Handbook, sometimes known as the "Frosh Bible," was edited under the management of Lester Gates and Dwight Cate. This was the first year that it was put out directly by the Student Body. The '28229 edition has many new features, including photographs of teams, etc. The color of the outside cover was especially well chosen, the predominating color being green, significant of the Freshman's standing, with an artistic "W" in the school's colors, purple and gold.

STUDENT BODY RECEPTION The first formal event of the year was held on Friday evening, Sep- tember 14, when the Student Body gave its Annual Reception for the new and old students in Wardman Gymnasium. The Gym was artistically decorated in drapes and a delightful light- ing effect was given by the many floor lamps. An excellent program was given:

Prelude ------ORCHESTRA Vocal Solo - MABEL SPRINGER Violin Solo - - MARY DIXON Playlet ----- SOME SOPHOMORES Reading - - - - - - JANE MCMURRAY Vocal Solo ------DONALD Novis

Refreshments of ice cream and cake were served at the close of the program. The success of the affair was due to Marjorie Bure, social chairman, and to Gwendolyn Smith, decorating chairman.

METAPHONIAN RUSH TEA Mrs. Dr. Dexter's home in College Hills was the scene of a prettily appointed tea given for the faculty ladies and the new girls of the college. Marjorie Bure and Bernice Bailey poured tea and Mrs. Dexter and members of the executive board acted as hostesses. The home was beautifully decorated with autumn flowers, and candlelight and soft music lent an atmosphere conducive to sociability. The Metaphonian girls were happy to begin acquaintance with the new girls of the college, and later to invite a few of them to become members of the society.

FOOTBALL BANQUET The annual Football Banquet was held at the William Penn Hotel on Friday evening, December 3. The dining room was transformed into a futuristic picture with drapes and a confusion of confetti suspended from the ceiling, futuristic football candle holders, futuristic flowers, and futuristic programs in purple and gold. Place cards carried out the school colors, while the nut cups were in the shape of football helmets. Dr. Marcus Skarstedt acted as toastmaster and the following toasts were given:

Perseverance GEORGE PHILBR0OK On the Bench LISLE SHELDON Enthusiasm - DINK WALKER Team Work WILLARD PAYNE Spirit - - RALPH JERTBERG

Letters were presented to the football men by Arthur Hanson, president of the A. S. B. The grand climax of the evening came when Earl Clevenger threw the golden football to the captain of the 1929 team, "Bill" Payne. Music was furnished by Bob Tomlinson's Harmony Boys. The success of the affair was again due to the efforts of Marjorie Bure, social chairman, and Gwendolyn Smith, decorating chairman.

DOVE PARTY Entertaining the Freshman girls of the college in a most delightful manner, the Y. W. C. A. held its annual Dove Party Tuesday evening, September 18. Each upper class girl met her little sister at 5:30 o'clock and went to the amphitheater where a picnic supper was served on the lawn. Following this the group was entertained in the chapel with an interesting program.

JUNIOR-FROSH PARTY The Juniors gave their party to the Freshmen on October 12. Dinner was served at the Marigold Gardens after which they were entertained with a program as follows:

Orchestra Numbers - Russian Ballet Dance - - MARY DIXON Magician Tricks ------MR. HARKER One-act Play, "Goodnight" - - - - - - - - - - JANE MCMURRAY, GEORGE RINGLAND

After the program was over, many stayed and enjoyed the hospitality of the Marigold Gardens.

DITCH DAY The long expected Junior-Senior Ditch Day arrived at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday morning, March 27. The moon was still shining when many cars started off for Forest Home. The upper classmen spent a glorious day hiking, having snow fights, and playing croquet, having their joy and fun increased by knowing that the Sophomores and Frosh were gloomily going to classes and missing them. The holiday ended with an excellent dinner at the Chateau Inn in Los Angeles—and everyone tired but happy!

SENIOR-SOPHOMORE PARTY The Seniors, bored with trips to the river for steak-bakes, entertained the Sophomores with a theater party at the Vine Street Theater in Holly- wood. About one hundred members of both classes enjoyed Edward Everett Horton's performance inShaw's "Arms and the Man." Follow- ing the play, small groups entertained as suited their pleasures.

METAPHONIAN FORMAL The Metaphonian Formal the evening of November 3 proved a huge success and a delightful affair. The society and guests first enjoyed a delicious five-course chicken dinner at the Blue Room of the "Pig 'n Whistle" in Hollywood. Later they were royally entertained by the Henry Duffy Players in "The Shan- nons of Broadway" at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood. This was a very clever three-act comedy that put every one in the best of spirits and climaxed an excellent evening of revelry. The formal was chaperoned by Professor and Mrs. Ostrom and Miss May Gibson Shuck.

PALMER FORMAL The Annual Palmer Formal Dinner was given on the evening of November 3 at the Mission Inn in Riverside with some thirty members and their gentleman friends attending. During the delicious dinner Spanish music was furnished by the Mission Inn Trio. The Spanish motif was carried out in the decorations and favors. Following the dinner the group enjoyed a most delightful program by the Mission Inn entertainers in one of the small chapels of the inn. After the program the girls and their guests spent an hour or so roaming around through the Mission Inn, visiting the many interesting exhibits and galleries there, before leaving for home.

FRANKLIN FORMAL The Franklin Formal Party this year was given November 17 for the members, the Alumni, and their guests. First the party went to the Hollywood Playhouse and saw a very amusing comedy. Later the group went to the supper room of the Pig 'n Whistle and enjoyed a splendid after-theater dinner. Judge Swain was the guest of honor and speaker of the evening. The entire affair was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.

"OF SUITABLE AGE"

THE JUNIOR PLAY, given December 14 in the Bailey Auditorium, was a big success. The play centers about the question, "What is the suitable age?" The story deals with Daphne Charmer, a sporty young co-ed who is old enough to vote, and her mother, a young widow who wishes her daughter were much younger so that she could remarry profitably. The parts were well taken with Clarice Miller as the co-ed, Dick Kendall as the flashing college youth, Fred Ashton as the middle-aged bachelor and Cherrie McRae as the young widow. Ella Kirkeby made a particularly good nursemaid and how she could talk! As this was the premier presentation of the play the author, Mrs. Graham, was present. Those taking part in "Of Suitable Age" were Clarice Miller, Cherrie McRae, Ella Kirkaby, Alice Oliver, Fred Ashton, Dick Kendall, and Harold Dyer.

"APPLESAUCE"

"APPLESAUCE," the best play of the year, was presented May 10 by the Associated Women Students in the Bailey Auditorium. This screamingly funny comedy was a story of two suitors for the hand of a fair heroine, Louise Schoonover, with Bill Payne and Don Brings the competitors for matrimonial honors. Bruce Gates as "Pa" Robinson and Margaret Malone as "Ma" Robinson were convincingly funny as the parents of a very popular daughter. The gossipy old lady, played by Cherrie McRae, was one of the best characters through her advice against marriage. In spite of everyone Bill married the girl on 6 and they went to live over a village drug store. But in the end it all came outright with Bill owning a half interest in his uncle's coal business and eating his carbon in the form of his bride's biscuits. The cast was as follows:

"PALS FIRST"

"PALS FIRST," the sixth annual Stag Follies, was an outstanding success. The play dealt with the exploits of two men who played the game "pals first" through thick and thin. They were aided by the introduction of feminine roles played by an "all-male" cast. Upon the stage we saw Bruce Gates as a sweet, demure little woman, Howard Cole as a robust negro mammy, and Calvin Smith as a kindly meaning old aunt. The cast was as follows:

PALMER PLAY The Palmer play, "Guess Again," written and directed by Ruth Pear- son, was a clever one-act comedy presented in chapel May 15. The play took place in a girls' dormitory and the plot revolved about a case of mis- taken identity. Those taking part were: Ella Kirkaby, Helen Bewley, Bessie Manning, Alice Oliver, Kate Balden, Elisabeth Richardson, Irma Meyer, Helen Kin- near, and Esther Wilkie.

METAPHONIAN PLAY The Metaphonian play, "Seven to One," presented in chapel May 22, was a peppy story of college life, the plot revolving around one handsome man and seven girls. The cast consisted of: Glance Miller, Bernice Bailey, Eldine Hamm, Jane McMurray, Ruth Kendall, Grace Dille, Janet Brydon, and Frances Brabrook.

SENIOR PLAY The Senior play, "Rose of the Rancho," to be given June 7 in the college amphitheater, deals with the Spanish invasion. Katherine Barber as "The Rose of the Rancho" is supported by Allen Bennett, a government agent who strives to win the heart and hand of the said fair Kath- arine and save her ranch from the land-jumping villain, Kincaid, to be played by Robert Tomlinson. There is also Spanish singing, dancing, and music and everything that makes a play realistic. So the class of 1929 plans to surpass anything that has yet been given in the college amphitheater with "The Rose of the Rancho."

SOPHOMORE PLAY "The Travelers" by Booth Tarkington was presented in chapel by the Sophomore Class. The theme of the story concerned the adventures of an American family traveling in Sicily. It was a well produced play with the following taking part: Elaine Morton, Bruce Gates, Lucille Anderson, Everett Sanderson, Maribelle Dyer, Dick Kennedy, Jimmie Jones, and Orville Cunningham.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB

THE GIRLS' GLEE CLUB has had the most successful season in the history of the organization. Success of the club is due to the twenty-seven talented and peppy girls who did some very artistic work through the wonderful training of their director, Miss Harriette Henderson. We are proud of our co-eds and can truly say that they have been a credit to Whittier Col- lege. This year the spring trip was in the Southland. The girls had very appreciative audiences in San Diego, Calipatria, Brawley, and Calexico in California, and Yuma in Arizona. Probably the most outstanding concert was at the Hotel del Coronado where we were told that the Girls' Glee Club of Whittier College was the best club they had ever heard. Besides having a group of fifteen club numbers which were done in a very artistic manner, the club presented an artist program of Margaret Hadley, Permelia Smith, Catharine Gregory, and Mabel Springer, vocal soloists; Cherrie McRae, reader; Dorothy Tuttle, marimbaphonist; Vir- ginia Carnefix, violinist; Carroll Seawell, pianist; and Esther Trueblood, 'cellist. Carroll Seawell, the very efficient accompanist of the club, was assisted by Jeanette Sanders, who accompanied the soloists and also did the organ work, and Alice Cole, who accompanied Cherrie McRae. We cannot say too much about the efficient work of the president, Jean McWhorter, and business manager, Evelyn Starbuck. The home concert given April 19 brought the season to a very successful and eventful close.

MEN'S GLEE CLUB

THIS YEAR has been a great year for the Men's Glee Club, for Whittier College, and for the city of Whittier, through the advertising that the club has given them. The Men's Glee Club has reached a degree of excellence which promises much for the future. A system was put into use whereby each applicant was required to submit to a vocal, sight-reading, and personality test before being admitted to membership. This method proved very successful. The club has enrolled itself under a constitution that is the product of hard work for weeks, and of which the club is justly proud. Looking back on the past season, I believe the members can say "well done." The club has labored under a very late start due to sickness, but under the capable leadership of Professor Hitchcock has become indeed a pronounced success. Our leader instilled into the singers a reverence for music and all that fine and well executed music stands for. Too much praise cannot be given to Professor Hitchcock for the part he played in this recently completed season. The club has appeared several times on the professional stage and has created quite a little favorable comment on its excellent theater programs. The annual spring tour, starting March 29, lasted eleven days, the return being on April 8. The trip included the entire state, and has been pronounced the greatest undertaken by any Whittier College Men's Glee Club. The crowning event, or events, of the trip was the appearance of the club before the State Assembly and Senate and their introduction to Governor Young. The Home Concert was given on Friday, March 22, in the Jonathan Bailey Auditorium. Co-featured with the club was the popular Professor Knox, reader and impersonator de luxe (not soap). Professor Knox has proved himself, without qualification, one of the greatest readers and impersonators in the United States. This year the club has been fortunate in having a wealth of co-entertainers. Among these are: The quartet, composed of Howard Cole, Joseph Bosio, George Ringland, and Harry Smith; the newly formed harmonica trio, a very popular group, composed of George Ringland, Meredith Brown, and Charles McClean, and featuring "The Wreck of the Old '97," a comic sketch; George Ringland presenting his ever-popular baritone solos, and Harry King, offering trombone solos. Much is expected of Harry in the future. This is Bob Tomlinson's last year with the organization. He has filled a very difficult position, and filled it well. Bob is one of the best accompanists any glee club could desire. Page One Hundred Thirteen Cl- op 0/ IS

Wallace Wiggins has brought the club through a most successful season and the members chose to reward him, in a small way, for the big task which he has accomplished. The success of the club, financially, is due almost entirely to Wally.

WHITTIER COLLEGE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

VERA BARSTOW reorganized the Whittier College Orchestra when she became a member of the Music Department two years ago. Since then this organization has made great progress and is fast becoming one of the important musical attractions on the campus. This year the orchestra gave its first annual Symphony Concert which was acclaimed the best ever given by any local school orchestra. Vera Barstow and John Heineman were soloists. The affair was sponsored by the Women's Auxiliary. The officers of the organization were:

COACH PHILBROOK

COACH GEORGE PHILBROOK came to Whittier in the fall of 1927 from the University of Idaho to release his theories of football. All Whittier supporters will agree that he knew more football than any other coach Whit- tier has had. Previous to his position at Idaho, Mr. Philbrook coached the Multno- mah Athletic Club of Portland where he also made the name Philbrook prominent. If we go back farther into history we will see where he attended Notre Dame and played football with Knute Rockne.

VARSITY

FIRST CALL for suits of the 1928 football season saw a host of men out to go to work for Whittier and Coach Philbrook. In looking over the squad, George saw possibilities of a championship team providing a lot of the green could be changed to red before the big combats. However, due to injuries and the "flu" the Poets had to be satisfied with finishing in fourth place. Twenty-seven gridders, including Captain Willard Weaver, Art Han- son, Earl Clevenger, Lisle Sheldon, Willard Payne, Nat George, Fred Pierce, Edwin Millar, Harold Dyer, Ward Cooper, Fred Ashton, Rupert Costo, Claire Jobe, Allen Bennett, Percy Lewis, Everett Long, Darrell Tripp, Bill Dye, Walter Keating, Claude Walker, George Steppe, Everett Sanderson, Ralph Jertberg, Manly Reitz, Raymond Kridler, Donald Brings, and Earl Reese, greeted the coaches and began their duals and triples for their old jobs or for new jobs. Some of these men made their names on the Frosh squad the last season and others are old standbys back to give their all for Whittier.

Page One Hundred Twentl, #A c r 0 P 0 ii S

WHITTIER 21—U. S. S. IDAHO 0 With flashes of post season football during the first half of the game, the Poets hung up a 21-0 count over the U. S. S. Idaho eleven. 'Walker started the scoring in the first quarter by pushing over a touchdown which was soon duplicated by Stepp in the same period. Sheldon and Costo each added an extra point. Stepp couldn't resist going through holes made by the "Big Swede" Hanson, so he galloped for another touchdown in the second quarter and kicked his own goal. In the second half neither team could get going and the game ended with Whittier on the Sailor line ready for another score.

WHITTIER 25—REDLANDS 0 The second game showed another victory for the Poets by trampling the Redlands Bulldogs 25-0. As usual Redlands put forth their old scrap but unfortunately went down to defeat. A little more of Whittier's of- fensive power was revealed in long gains by Payne and Walker through the line and Nat George around the ends. The ball was in Redlands territory throughout the game with the exception of one costly Whittier fumble which gave Redlands the ball on our 15-yard line. In the line Hanson and Clevenger made the Redlanders wish they were at home in bed. Holes were made.

WHITTIER 53—LA VERNE 0 This game with La Verne, besides being a Conference game, had all the earmarks of a contest among Poet sprint stars to see who could make the most touchdowns. Payne, George, and Walker broke the tape with two each and Stepp and Jertberg were close with one apiece. And with "Chief" Costo kicking five goals out of six, the scoreboard kept a gradual move upward from start to finish. Captain Weaver took his old job on end and played his usual game with nothing going around him or through him. Everett Long was discovered to have no mean ability as a pigskin toter. Sheldon, in the line, smeared Leopards all over their backfield.

WHITTIER 7—OXY 19 Turning from a month of victories, the Poets took a defeat at the hands of Occidental in a hard fought battle. The Poets went into this game shy the services of their stellar guard, Earl Clevenger. His absence and the Oxy Tiger had the wrong psychological effect on the Poets. The Whittier score came in the fourth quarter when "Speed" Weaver picked up a fumble and took it across for a touchdown. The Quakers were left in a crippled condition after this gruelling and in a poor condition to go against San Diego the following week. Lewis was the star of this game, playing his end like an All-American.

WHITTIER 12—SAN DIEGO 34 The Whittier College mixture of cripples and chronic "flu" cases known as the Football Team failed to come through when they played the San Diego State Teachers' College. The border city boys were good on reverses and passes and Ye Friendlie Poets couldn't keep up. The score stood 12-12 at the half but the grind was too much and the score rolled up and up. Nat George and Payne featured in the backfield and Hanson and Lewis were the support of the line.

WHITTIER 0—POMONA 10 Whittier was outplayed by the Conference Champions before a large Armistice Day crowd to the tune of 10 to 0. The Sage Hens had a better line and it told in the second quarter. The rest of the game was about even. The Poet backfield was as good if not better than Pomona's as is shown by the fact that Whittier was three times within striking distance of the Pomona line. We were not so far outplayed but that we can hope to return this defeat next year.

WHITTIER 12—CALTECH 12 Caltech came over after her victory over Oxy doped to win by a large margin. Whittier was determined to upset the dope. "Dink" Walker started the scoring by returning the opening kick-off for a touchdown. The teams were very evenly matched, Whittier surpassing in kicking and Caltech in passing. The score at the half was 6-6. Payne made a score early in the third quarter and the Engineers came right back with one at the start of the fourth period. After that both teams strove valiantly but were unable to get through the stubborn defense of the opposing squad. The defensive work in the line was a feature of the game.

WHITTIER 7—ARIZONA 28 The Thanksgiving Day game in Tucson resulted in the Wildcats running a touchdown over in every quarter. Whittier scored in the third quarter but was not constant in her gains. Both teams made fifteen first downs but the Wildcats made theirs count. The loss was due to poor se- lection of plays and poor defensing, although Dell played a good game at fullback.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL

THE FROSH SQUAD under the direction of Coach Brown developed some good material for next year's varsity. They did not play as an eligible team, but scheduled games with the best high school teams in Southern California. Their record is none too good because of lack of substitute material, although they made a good showing in every game. We are proud of the way the few fellows stayed out, furnishing scrimmage for the varsity and building up some regulars for next year.

VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD

"GREAT IS A team or a man that can win without boasting, and lose without whining." That is why our basketball team is not making excuses. They started out fine, lost men through ineligibility, overcame these ob- stacles, and came back in the last three games to almost put a cramp in the Conference ratings. This year's squad was composed mainly of green material, which gives indications of a good season next year. All were under classmen with the exception of Captain Walter Cummings. Captain Cummings was backed by Captain-elect Manley Reitz, Punt Aldrich, Ralph Jert- berg, Dink Walker, Los Wampler, Jimmie Jones, Harold Dyer, Clyde McDermott, Claire Jobe. Much credit is due to Coach Ray Johns, for two years varsity mentor, and who held the team together by his slogan, "We'll play basketball as long as there are five men to put on the floor." Next year he goes into the field of business and in his place comes Verne Landreth of Huntington Park.

WHITTIER 21 LA VERNE 34 The conference opener was dropped to the fast La Verne Leopards, whose power can be judged by the fact that they took second in the Confer- ence. The Poets threatened in the second half by a stirring rally led by Ralph Jertberg, but was not enough to put down the tremendous lead their opponents had rolled up.

WHITTIER 34 CALTECH 18 The second game found the team hitting their stride consistently for an easy victory over the Engineers.

WHITTIER 19 REDLANDS 32 After leading for the greater part of the game, lack of reserve material cost Whittier another game at the hands of the Redlands Bulldogs. Cummings and Reitz starred for the locals. WHITTIER 24 POMONA 48 Pomona took this contest by a large margin as a result of a number of long shots from the middle of the floor by Bishop and Putnam of Pomona. No points were made in the guards territory. WHITTIER 34 SAN DIEGO 25 Getting organized again, the Poets played all around the lanky Aztecs to win easily. Jerky led the scoring. OCCIDENTAL SERIES A long sloppy field goal thrown from the middle of the floor in the last 45 seconds of play was all that saved the first game of the series for the Tigers. Whittier led all the way, sometimes ten points ahead of the highly touted Conference champions. The second game, although not quite so exciting as the first, was also close and anybody's game till the last few minutes. Oxy's reserve strength was the vital part of their win. The respective scores were Oxy 30, Whittier 24; and Oxy 38, Whittier 31,

FROSH BASKETBALL WITH A SQUAD of sixteen men out for Freshman basketball, Coach George Kellogg produced the best first year team in the history of the college. The squad was composed of ten eligibles and six ineligibles, the eligibles playing the Conference games and a combination of both representing the school against non-conference competition. The eligibles played five Conference games and won three, being nosed out of first place by Oxy in the last minute of the game. The squad was made up of Edwards, Scantlin, Ograin, Watkins, Persing, Williams, Juday, McDonald, Davies, and Lanphear. The first six named won their numerals in Conference play. Conference games were as follows: Whittier 19 La Verne 33 Whittier 27 Redlands 21 Whittier 37 Caltech 14 Whittier 20 San Diego 18 Whittier 24 Occidental 25

TRACK

SPORT CHAMPIONSHIPS run in cycles. Before the war, Whittier was su- preme on the track. Interest faded, and so did the track supremacy, and now Whittier seems to be headed up the ladder again. This year has been very successful in individual performances, and points to a good season next year, inasmuch as there is only one Senior on the team and most of them making their first varsity appearance this year. This not only makes the prospects for next year look bright, but the fact that several Freshman stars did some good performances this year, puts track as one of the leading major sports for the next few years. Coach Philbrook, for the past two years coach, goes to Nevada, and in his place comes Verne Landreth. His track ability is unquestionable, as he has been developing championship teams at his present post. The Poets' strength this year can be measured by the fact that they were beaten out of fourth place in All-Conference meet by one-half of one point. Repeating their win of last year, the class of '31 won the annual interclass meet, beating out the Juniors and Freshmen by a safe margin.

THE TEAM

EIGHT VARSITY men and two Frosh earned track letters this season. The individuals on the team, and what they did, follow: "Nat” George, dusky sprint ace, won both sprints in every meet but the Stanford-Southern Conference stars meet, where he took second in both events by inches. Besides these victories he won several broad jumps and one 440. Outstanding performances were—his victory in the A. A. U. open hundred, his double victory in the All-Conference meet, high point man for the second successive year in the interclass meet, and the setting of new marks in both sprint races. To climax the season he won first place in the meet at the Coliseum, winning from both Wykoff and Borah, the fastest runners in the United States. Clyde "Mac" McDermott, pole vaulter, weight man, and broad jumper, who with George, was chosen on the All-Conference team, gathered points in every meet, and set a new college record in the vault. He won this event against San Diego and Caltech, tied for second in the All-Conference, took third against Redlands, and tied for third against Occidental. He won the shot against Caltech, as well as placing in several broad jumps. Bob Tomlinson was always on Mac's heels in the vault, taking second at San Diego, and outvaulting Mac to take second with Redlands. He also took second in the high hurdles at San Diego and Redlands.

Page One Hundred Thirty-five - A cropol i's }i-

Mark Martin, quarter miler and javelin, won the 440 and took second place in the 220 against Caltech, took second in the spear event with Red- lands, as well as gathering several thirds in conference meets. Frank "Davy" Jones took seconds in both the low and high hurdles against Caltech, second in the lows and the hammer against Redlands as well as several thirds throughout the season. "Friday" Floyd Durham took second in the mile against Redlands and Caltech; second in the 880 against Caltech, and third in these events at other meets. Jimmie "Casey" Jones, half miler, took first against Caltech, and seconds at both San Diego and Redlands. Larry Smith tied for first at Caltech and took second at San Diego in the high jump. Other members of the team were Triplett, Coate, and Pressey, all three two milers. Ralph Pease held down the job as manager, and held up beautifully under the burden. Two Frosh stars, Rucker and Munger, scored heavily at the Frosh All- Conference by annexing 10 5-6 points. Rucker took first in the shot, second in the discus, and fourth in the hammer. Munger tied for first in the high jump.

BASEBALL The Poet baseball season was an absolute success considering the fact that they came within one play of the championship again this year, and this they did without the able coaching of George "Rube" Ellis, coach of last year. The team cooperated exceedingly well under its Captain Gilbert Lewis and Art Hanson, manager. Although baseball is the national sport it failed to receive quite that support from the Poet fans this season. The team wish to express their hearty thanks to Manager Art Han- son, who had such a difficult position to fulfill throughout the season. He was ball player, manager, property man and what flavor do you wish. Hanson is leaving the Poets and we hope he will be as successful in all his undertakings as he was in those that we know of. Captain Gilbert also is to be lost by way of graduation. His vacancy is quite a hole to be filled as he proved himself one of the best hitters of the team and the outstanding third basemen of the Conference. He is succeeded by Percy Lewis in captaincy and if Percy makes the agreeable Captain that his brother did, the Poets will be out for another championship next season. "Dube" Cate deserves much credit in his capacities displayed as he led the team in hitting with the creditable average of .419. He is also charged with but one defeat in two years of pitching, a record to be envied by any "chucker."

Page One Hundred Forty-one -'f A C r 0 P 0 1 i s

"Zip" Girardin's home-run work proved a heavy scoring factor in the Poets' score. His performance on first base has been a sensation throughout the season. With two more years of play he should do things. In fact the "Poets" on the whole worked like clockwork and it is too bad that they are losing some of them. Those being lost through graduation are as follows: Captain Lewis, Art Hanson, Lisle Sheldon, and Charlie Kranz. Those coming back should be: Percy Lewis and Dwight Cate, "Zip" Girar- din, Manley Reitz, Ralph Jertberg, Ralph Aldridge and Claire Jobe. Many prospects have been cited from this year's Frosh. Much is to be expected from Jertberg next season as he played well in the games he played this year. The Poets did not have him all season, but his fielding was good and he turned out second in the hitting averages, his being .409. Reitz and Jertberg are booked for some fast double play work next season and Reitz should be still stronger as a hitter. "Punt" Aldridge alternated with Reitz to prove himself a good sacrifice man. Percy Lewis, captain-elect, found no rival as a consistent backstop. His great consistency pulled the Poets through many a tight place. The Poet left-fielder, Lisle Sheldon, is a three- year man and has always been a consistent hitter. He will leave a big place to fill next year as will Charlie Kranz, center fielder, who has played his last season for Whittier.

BASKETBALL

Great enthusiasm for Sports has been shown this year at Whittier College by the Co-eds. Basketball, favorite of the sports, caused the most excitement. Much rivalry was shown between the four class teams from the time the first whistle blew for the first game to the end of the season. The Frosh lost only one game during the entire season to the Sophomores. That game closed a very spirited season with the Frosh winning the Championship. They showed some excellent basketball and a wonderful fighting spirit. The two coaches, Miss Palmer and Miss Olds, and the Basketball manager, Esther Trueblood, chose the Honorary Varsity team, which is as follows: Forwards: Charlotte Harnois, Ruth Kendall Jumping Center: Katherine Balden Running Center: Mary Fae Moffett. Guards: Ella Kirkeby, Jane McMurray

HOCKEY

Although the hockey season was interrupted by rain several times this year, the girls were able to play off all the games without extending the season, by playing on a wet field. This complicated playing greatly, but the season was very successful in spite of all the difficulties. The Juniors and Freshmen each had full teams, but the Seniors and Sopho- mores had to combine forces. The Juniors, displaying real team play, won the Championship by winning all of their games. The Combine and the Freshmen tied for second place. The playing was not of exhibition calibre, but the girls had a lot of fun and learned a great deal about the game. The Honorary Varsity, chosen by the two coaches, Miss Palmer and Miss Oles, from the players on all the teams was as follows: Left wing, Zilly; left inner, Harnois; center forward, McClean; right inner, Pearson; right wing, Murray; left half, McBride; center half, Short; right half, Christenson; center full, Kirkeby.

BASEBALL

The new baseball field was ready for use this year. Although the grass was rather long and slippery, it was much better than dust. The same combination of teams was used as in hockey, and the Juniors followed their same line, winning the Championship again. The Combine came out ahead of the Freshmen this time. Everyone had a good time and learned some new tricks of the trade. The Honorary Varsity, chosen from all the teams, indicated the outstanding players: Catcher, Sorben; pitcher, McBride; first base, Short; second base, Kirkeby; third base, McMurray; short stop, Meyer; right field, Eckard; center field, Murray; left field, Brabrook. ARCHERY

In past years archery has been a popular sport at Whittier College, but this year due to construction work on the Girls' athletic field there has been no place for extensive archery. Next year archery will perhaps again be a predominating sport.

Page One Hundred Forty-seven c r o p0 11s3'- VOLLEY BALL

Many girls responded to the call of volley ball this year, much enthusiasm being shown between the four class teams, Frosh, Sophs, Juniors, and Seniors, and hot contests ensuing. Each class produced an excellent team that showed good form, which was the result of hard work. The main event of volley ball was an exciting game between the faculty and a picked team. The faculty won the spirited contest due to the starring of Professor Henley and Dean Coffin. TENNIS

Tennis, always a poular spring sport, drew a large number of supporters this year. Every day the courts swarmed with sun-tanned girls diligently practicing to make their class team. All girls were urged to go out for this sport and many developed into fine tennis players, showing superior form and skill. An interclass tournament was the result of the season and the four best players determined. GOLF

This is the first year golf has been included in the list of Girls' Sports at Whittier College and it drew a good showing of enthusiastic girls. The Montebello Golf Club was the scene of many a desperate lesson and a hard work-out under the direction of Willie and Ramsey Hunter. Next year golf promises to become still more popular with an interclass tournament and more co-eds out to become golfers. SWIMMING

Swimming received a great number of supporters this, the initial year of that sport. All practicing and meets were held at the Montebello pool. Many of the mermaids developed into excellent swimmers of good form and graceful diving. The season ended with an exciting interclass meet. Swimming next year promises to be a far greater activity as there will probably be regular class teams and organized meets.

"W" GIRLS

This year there are twelve girls wearing "W" sweaters on the campus. A very good showing this is as last year there were only seven. To earn a "W" sweater, a girl must have a total of at least 1000 W. A. A. points. She must have a "C" average for all the semesters pre- ceding the receipt of the award; and she must have the approval of the Student Body of Whittier College. Every girl who wins a "W" sweater must be proficient in all sports, and she is always a good sport. This honor is one well worth trying for, and one which all girls interested in athletics should strive to attain.

CALENDAR

SEPTEMBER 5-8 Frosh made their debut at Whittier College. Met with exams, lectures, and "Bibles." Received at teas, dinners, breakfasts and lunches. 10 Registration of upper classmen subdues Frosh into their rightful lowly places. 14 Old students meet new students a t Student Body Recep- tion, the finest event of its kind we have experi- enced. The Frosh learn the Sopho- more's b it e is not as bad as his bark. Our ears still ring with the oft repeated phrase— "W h y can't we dance?" 18 Frosh girls a n d Faculty women fi n d b i g sisters to feed them at the Dove Party. I n - quire Miss Shuck and Mrs. Jones in regard to novelty hats. 22 Cold, damp weather couldn't dampen the fun at the Franklin Steak Bake at Balboa. 24 Metaphonians entertain Frosh girls with a tea. 27 The Palmers followed suit by entertaining the new girls with the same substantial nourishment. Page One Hundred Fifty-two --if A C r o p c 1 i s OCTOBER 5 Seniors and Sophs have an evening of keen entertainment at the Vine Street Theater. The Juniors and Frosh romp over to the Mari- gold Gardens and the party was a success in spite of the aftermath. 6 A twenty-five to nothing victory over Redlands makes this day stand out in memory of many. 19 "Come, come everybody, come see Punch and Judy." This ballyhoo along with the Franklin Crazy House and many other clever attractions were the features of the A. W. S. carnival. 26 Wardman's home up on the hill was the setting for a delightful Musi- cal Tea sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. 27 Everybody laid down their school books and carried library books today. They were greatly refreshed by glasses of ice cold lemonade.

NOVEMBER 3 The Palmers journey to the Mission Inn in Riverside for a formal dinner. Metaphonians entertained with a dinner at Pig'n Whistle in Hollywood and the El Capitan Theater. 5 The musical department of the college show their accomplishments in the form of a very interesting program to an appreciative audience in Chapel. 7 Ray Cook, our promising Frosh orator, wins the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest in Chapel. 9 The "Cosmops" made us realize how other people dressed by their Latin-American program. Our bonfire rally resulted in calling out the fire department. 12 Nearly everyone was busy chasing back and forth between the fire at Santa Fe Springs and classes and did not have time to attend the tea given for all girls by the A. W. S. executive. 17 Imagine one little Frosh's excitement at being asked by a Franklin to attend their formal. It was "Best People" with an after theater supper at the Elite. 29 Ali. Vacation and turkey.

DECEMBER 6 The Football Banquet with the "usual dates" and thrills had its climax in the announcement of "Bill" Payne as Captain for next year. Every- one was overjoyed and wishes Bill all the success possible. 14 The Junior Play, "Of Suitable Age" made everyone wish they could skate. 19 Good thing Christmas vacation is here or the other people would be out with the "flu."

JANUARY 10 Sherwood Eddy gave us some suggestions which have answered many of the questions we have been asking ourselves. 12 Dancing—for and against. Mostly for as we see it. 16 Those exams again- 28 Everyone resolves to study next semester and signs up for a heavy course. FEBRUARY 2 The Metaphonians spent the week end hiking and playing in the moun- tains. 5 Mrs. Buwelder tells the girls of the school something of the problem of women criminals in the State of California. 6 The screams and squeals in Chapel were caused by the Soph play "Travelers." 7 Students drop many of the heavy courses in spite of the heavy fines imposed by the office. 20 Palmers entertain their rival society with a lovely tea at the Harris home. 25 As a result of her training last year in the "Dumb Wife" coupled with her real ability Miriam Thompson won the Women's Extemporaneous Speaking Contest in Chapel.

MARCH 6 The Metaphonians return the courtesy of the Palmers with a tea at Foglemans. 8 La Verne came over to Whittier to present their exchange program. 9 The Y. M. and Y. W. have their turn at house parties. This time it was at Mount Baldy. 11 We learned some of the merits of the Men's Glee Club when they gave a short program in Chapel. 19 The A. W. S. excludes men from viewing their fashion during Chapel hour today. 20 All men who never played football were out trying the game this afternoon. Every man for himself, they all tried to be stars. 22 The men gave their very worthwhile concert. Benny and his Uke made quite a hit. 27 The poor Frosh and Sophs had to go to school today while the Juniors and Seniors took a Sneak Day to play up at Forest Home. Dinner at the "Chateau" and a tired bunch of people wandered home. 29 Caltech came over and showed us they had some remarkable talent in their student body. Now for a week of vacationing—

APRIL 10 The History Club journeyed over to the Huntington Library; no, so far as I know no one tripped over any statue and broke it. 12 The Y. M. and Y. W. seize upon the fad of skating for a Student Body Skating Party. No bones were broken. 20 The Palmers again entertain, this time with informals. So did the Metaphonians. 26 The Frosh entertained the Juniors at the President, "The Bad Man." Sophs and Juniors spend the day at the beach. 27 The Spanish Club had its big function of the year with its Spanish Banquet. MAY 1 Pomona gave Whittier an exchange program which we will all remem- ber. It was cleverly done and a great deal of preparation and talent went into it. 3 We all went down to the beach today on the annual May Day Picnic. Even sunburn was a minor event. 4 Although the desire for dancing was prevalent at the Junior-Senior Banquet, the nerve or whatever you may call it was lacking. 10 "Bill's" Applesauce in the A. W. S. play made even the cranky people chuckle. 11 The Seniors were the Dexters' guests for an evening. 12 Diamonds to the right of us, diamonds to the left of us and so on through the Senior class. 14 A play written by one of the members of Palmer was given in Chapel as a part of the annual Palmer program. 22 The Metaphonians nearly outdo the Palmers. Their play, "Seven to One," made a great hit in spite of the phone book episode. The Whit- tier College Symphony Orchestra displayed tonight the result of excellent direction and talent.

JUNE 1 The day is spent in entertaining the prospective Frosh of next year. 2 Bacculaurate in the Amphitheater. 7 Senior Breakfast and "The Rose of the Rancho," the Senior play. 8 Graduation and goodbyes.
