1959 Commencement

Climaxing a week of commencement activities on the Whittier College campus for the 56th graduating class was the appearance of two outstanding alumni—The Honorable Richard M. Nixon, Vice President of the , and Jessamyn West, well-known author. The round of events for over 200 seniors began Sun- day, June 7, at the First Friends Church for the tradi- tional Baccalaureate sermon. This year's service was given by The Reverend George E. Jenkins, a Whittier graduate with the class of 1940 and minister of the Alhambra Friends Church. The annual brunch given for the graduates by the faculty was held at thç Campus Inn the following Fri- day morning. Saturday, June 13, was commencement day! One of the highlights of the event-filled day was that of the Ground Breaking and Dedication Cere- monies which took place shortly after noon in the Stauffer Patio, presided over by the Vice President. Among the buildings dedicated were Johnson Hall, Campus Inn-Student Union, and Stauffer Hall; North Campus sites .dedicated were those for the Memorial Chapel, a new Music Building, and another women's

Approximately 2000 graduates, alumni, and friends attended the program at which Mr. Nixon spoke, and which was open to the public. Three special awards and recognition of "Golden Anniversary" graduates of Whittier College highlighted the annual Alumni Day Luncheon which was held in the Campus Inn following the dedication ceremonies. In addition to witnessing the special awards, the guests heard an address by Dr. W. Roy Newsom, '34, chair- man of the department of chemistry. One of the awards was the Alumni Achievement Award which is given to honor a former graduate for his contributions in a particular field of endeavor. Col. Samuel P. Pickett won the 1959 award for his work and accomplishment in the field of science. Col. Pickett is living in Whittier and graduated from Whittier in 1922. He is associated with the Shell Oil Company. A new award this year has been established in mem- ory of Shirley Mealer, '53, whose hours of service were many to the college. The award, the Shirley Mealer Alumni Service Award, will be given each year to the alumnus who has contributed actively throughout the year toward alumni pursuits. Thomas D. Wood, '50, President of the Whittier College Alumni Association, was the first recipient of this award. Mr. Wood is a resident of Whittier and is currently the principal at the Hillview, Intermediate school in East Whittier. A special award was given to Dick Thomson, '34, for his outstanding work in the 1195 Club. This organ- ization is made up of alumni and friends of the college whose purpose is to further the athletic program of the school. Mr. Thomson, aside from his interest in the club and school athletics, is a local businessman. The "Golden Anniversary" graduates are forty-one in number and have graduated from Whittier College fifty or more years ago. This group compose what is known as the Golden Anniversary Club, and they were special guests at the luncheon. The class of 1909, celebrating its fiftieth anniversary, has each of its four members living in the Southern California area. They are: Olema Whitlock, Alice B. Blanchard, Edina C. Newby, and Gertrude C. Todd. The late afternoon commencement ceremonies were held in the Harris Amphitheater, where the seniors,

She has written many high ranking novels, Dr. Roy Newsom (bottom). including the well known book "The Witch Diggers." The charge to the graduating class was given by Vice President Nixon, having special meaning on this twenty-fifth anniversary of his own graduation from Whittier. Following the graduation of the members of the class of 1959, a President's reception was held on the Poet Quad for them and for their parents. The last item on the agenda of commencement activ- ities for this year was the class reunions scheduled to meet at various places in the Whittier area. This year the reunions included every fifth year class ranging from members of the classes of 1919 to 1954, as well as those graduates in the Golden Anniversary Club. Earlier in the day, the classes of 1919, 1929, and 1914 met in private homes and on the campus. A series of reunions was held that evening during which time the following class members met: the class of 1954 met in Palm Park; the class of 1924 met at the home of Evelyn Robinson Brittain in Fullerton; the class of 1944 met at the Dinnerhorn restaurant in Covina; and the class of 1949 met at the Los Coyotes Country Club. The class of 1934, Mr. Nixon's class, held their re- union at the California Country Club. The group had a program which was patterned after a class meeting, in which the Vice President participated.

On the new financial basis the publication was expanded in size and quality. An idea long cherished by certain alums, an alternate publication ap- propriately named Pebbles From The Rock, was created and designed primarily to accomodate the College as a house-organ delimiting the re- sponsibility of The Rock exclusively to alumni news. Communication was not confined alone to the printed word. Intens- ive work was done in the area of reunions for special interest groups, e.g., classes, , and football groups, etc. Development of the Commission on Professional Organ- izations expanded to include minis- ters, physicians and surgeons, and

12 currently, attorneys. All of these groups have been feted by the Col- lege and have had an opportunity to return to the campus. In this fashion they have reestablished ac- quaintanceships and literally shared the feeling of vitality at their alma- mater. Staff Expansion Early in the year it became ap- parent that this total alumni re- juvination would demand more than a "one man show" and as a con- sequence the staff was enlarged to include the very energetic and re- sourceful Mrs. Jane (Taber) Ran- dolph '43 as Assistant Director of Alumni Relations and later, also as Director of Placement.
