Dear Fellow Alumnus,

We are well on our way with this years' plans and efforts on behalf of our alma mater. The enthusiasm generated by our new Alumni Director, Darrell Ryan, has filled the gap left by Don Bishop's return to private enterprise.

The returns of our first Alumni Fund mailing have been very encourag- ing and we anticipate a highly successful 'You Plus One" campaign on the part of Vince Sinatra 1 33 and the Whittier College Associates. The Alumni Board of Directors is discussing a new and exciting means of Communication between Alumni and Whittier College.

Dr. Bob Thompson 143 has done a truly outstanding job as president of the 1195 Athletic Booster Club by actively involving not only alumni but people from the Whittier community as well.

We certainly learned how much "The Rock" meant to you alumni when we stopped mailing to everyone. Now all alumni should receive a copy of our magazine. Please notify the Alumni office if you do not receive your issue. The decision to mail "The Rock" to everyone involves more ex- pense and we trust all alumni will want to share in meeting it. Give ac- cording to your means and desires, but give. (Gifts to Whittier College are tax deductible.)

Here's wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year.

Sincerely yours,

Eugene Marrs 1 50 President, Alumni Association

3 WHO'S WHITTI ER EGE Walter F. Dexter, Past President Whittier College CULL "Come, Darrell, you're not too busy for a cup of coffee here at the Spot. You've asked me, 'Who is Whittier College?' Answering that could take us two cups! "Of course, the Spot has only been in this spot since 1958 - used to be across the street in Harold Mann's old plumbing shop (transformed, natur- ally). Nice here, though, isn't it. This Student Union - this part of the Walter F. Dexter Student Center - was a long time coming. It's quite a story, really, goes back over 30 years, when the ASWC exec set aside $500 - winnings from a Des- mond's intercollegiate Radio Contest - to start a Student Union fund. There were years of student work-projects, savings, self-assessment, help from the Woman's Auxiliary - then the Student Union was made part of President Smith's second major construction project. Student leadership, yes Dick Nixon '34 started it; Ray Dezember '54 pushed it ahead. . . thousands who are now Whit- tier Alumni wanted it and worked for it. Alumni, you know, are people; that's why I read the news items in THE ROCK. "Who was Walter F. Dexter? Please! Fifth pres- ident of Whittier College, during the 'twenties. Short, dynamic, optimistic - great idealist and popular speaker. Went into politics and became Di- rector of Education, heading the State Department and the California state colleges till his death dur- ing the War. (Which war? . . . II, my friend!) "You're right, Whittier does have a distinctive personality. Colleges are like people - each differ- ent. The history of one nearby college is called a biography, remember? Because the author realized that a college is a living, growing, personal sort of thing - shaped through the years by students and faculty and trustees - not merely an "institution" molded by impersonal forces, social and economic, etc., though they played their part too. "Walk out here with me; we'll take our cups . "That Painter Avenue's busy, isn't it. Named for John Painter, one of the Quaker founders; his son- in-law, Charles E. Tebbetts, was the first president of Whittier College; his grandson, Dr. Herbert Teb- betts 'lOe, for many years a trustee; his great grandson, Herb '41; his great great - O.K. I'll go on. 4 "Across the side street there, old Eariham Hall. President Tebbetts built it as his home in 1903 - pastured his cow this side of the street, there in our parking lot. . . . Eariham Drive, Guilford Way, Penn Street down there a block - they all bear the names of Quaker colleges, earlier established in Indiana, North Carolina, and Iowa. That's where so many of the founding came from. "Around here, now - the street that deadends into Painter. The Land Company named it College Street right off—that helped to sell town lots.* The original site for the college was way up there at Murphy Hall; but that's another story. After the first Boom and Bust, Whittier College was located here at the head of College Street - a 14 acre picturesque, too) was on the far side of the arroyo, strip of land, 495' wide and running 1200' or so which ran a nice stream on a stormy day.

(I wish they could keep a light on top of it!) It was the town that built this on the campus, the Founders honor- ing - public subscription, with kids giving pennies, and everybody's name in- scribed on a scroll buried deep somewhere within or beneath the brick masonry! For future ages, etc. Rather nice bas-relief portrait of the poet, and lines he wrote for his namesake college town. I like some other verses of his that were read at the dedication of the monument: "Each life must learn the taste of truth,/Each foot must feel its way." That's what college is all about: individual students learning, yes, and discriminating values "There, on the other side of the walk, stands THE ROCK! Seems to be wearing gradually away, but there's more of it down under, imbedded in con- crete reinforced with oilwell cable. There were only three men in the Senior Class '12: Frank Crites, Nofle Renneker, Milton White. With the help of an alumnus and team, they loosened, loaded, and lugged that two-ton boulder back from Sierra Madre. A friendly cow, pastured by the road, was their midnight snack bar, serving warm milk. Gen- erations of class struggle have centered about that bit of granite. It's solid, the Rock! It's symbol. Come this way. "Look over there, this side of the Library: the Liveoak. That same Class of '12 planted it there on the bank of the arroyo when they were freshmen. Beautiful specimen now - enhances the splendid building there, designed by Floyd Rible. . . . But look back down the far side of that unseen arroyo. "There's the John Stauffer Lecture-Laboratory, one of the busiest lecture halls on campus, with its semicircular terrace facing the broad lawns and vistas. John Stauffer, industrialist and college trus- tee, has been the most generous of our living bene- factors. He not only paid for this classroom unit (language lab and soc seminar downstairs), but made very substantial contributions toward the construction of the Beverly M. Stauffer dormitory. He's worked closely with Dr. Smith: 'You'll want nice furniture in that small diningroom - I'll get it for you,' 'O.K., Paul, move the building, I'll pay for it,' 'We need those two lots right now, I'll buy them for the college.' These gifts add up to half a million dollars or so - and now, John Stauffer has put in a quarter million more toward the new Science Build- ing. He's pushed to get things done - building something of his own personality into the campus— and looking beyond buildings to what goes on in- side: professors in lectures and labs, students learn- ing. Next, adjoining it and fronting on Painter, is Hall. Everybody knows, surely, that as a girl Mrs. Hoover attended the Friends Academy, forerunner of Whittier College, and later served actively as one of its college trustees. She and President Hoover sent the college some of the John Stauffer books from their White House days. Have you no-

The Lancers worked hard for a quarter century to realize that dream - which was Mrs. Peasley's dream, too. Then, next to it, you see Arnold Hall, honoring Nannie Arnold, pioneer Quaker minister and editor. Funds for it were willed by her son, J. Clem Arnold, first Whit- tier football captain, Los Angeles newspaper execu- tive. Her grandson, Jack Brownell '47, was a great student and great fullback, too, as his father had been before him. Beautiful site, isn't it, for the Peasley Center of Religion, Music, Philosophy and then, the Broadoaks school, just down the hill from it.

"Swing your eyes across Philadelphia again - Johnson Hall. What choice Quakers, those John- sons! Susan, red-haired and witty, taught Classics here in the early days - her nephew, Bill Harrison, the architect of so many of these new buildings. Clifford Johnson, from jovial Pullman conductor to bank president; then long-time college trustee. "And now around here again to the Wardman Library, right in the center of the campus, astride the main axis of the college Mall. 'Gus' Wardman was self-made, a pioneer in the telephone industry, then oil speculator and citrus rancher - he loved athletics and a good hand at poker, a man with a shrewd head and a generous heart. Between them, Aubrey and Bonnie Wardman served the college as trustees for 42 years, their benefactions totalling a good two million dollars in buildings and endow- ments....

"These are just some of the persons, and not mere names on buildings. Look proudly with them at the faculties and students through this sweep of 80 years, their sacrifices, their achievements and contributions to society. . . look in the trophy cases now placed in the Student Union, and at the memorial in Mendenhall; look at the year-after- year record in the ACROPOLIS; look at the Whit- tier College BULLETINS one after another; look at what's in the Library and in the classrooms and laboratories and rehearsal rooms. Look at these students now crossing the campus, nice bunch, wouldn't you say? and the professors ambling from lecture-rooms back to offices. "All right, then, I'll quit - but it won't be easy. Let's go in for that second cup of coffee.

Brown haired, brown eyed senior Janna Wilemon, from Bakersfield, reigned at Whittier College Homecoming October 22, when the largest crowd in history (about 3,000) saw a colorful parade up Philadelphia at 9:30 a.m. With Janna on the Queen's float were senior princess Sue Sellers, Coronado; junior princess Joan Steffy, Manhattan Beach; sophomore prin- cess Suzanne Superko, Coronado; and freshman princess Chris Kenworthy, Meadowbrook, Pa. Sweepstakes award went to the covered wagon float of the Palmer Society. The Metaphonians won the award for humor; Ionians, originality; William Penns, theme; Lancers, seriousness; and Thalians, beauty. Dr. Robert W. O'Brien, sociology chair- man, was elected Homecoming Grand Marshal. Floats and homecoming court were presented at the half-time at the game with Occidental, which Whittier won 12-7, and the Poet marching band played for the occasion.

Highlight of the 1195 booster club's year was the presentation of the annual spirit award to Sam Yocum, San Gabriel businessman and long-time college supporter, at the annual banquet at the Hotel October 19. Dr. Robert Thompson, '43, 1195 president, made the award, citing Sam Yocum for unselfish efforts to promote Whittier College and assist Poet ath- letes and students over the past 20 years. Yocum has helped more than 75 men to get an education at Whittier. Although he is a graduate Yocum Receives Award From Dr. Thompson '43 of USC, rather than Whittier, Yocum was attracted to Whittier when his church basketball team was permitted to use Wardman Gym years ago.
