Previously, the Law School had celebrated gradua- 25 Sports tion on a different day from the rest of the College. President W. Roy Newsom also conferred four honorary degrees. Civic OLD ACQUAINTANCES leader and philanthropist Beverly M. Stauffer received the Doctor of Supplementary Section Humane Letters; Dr. Albert R. Behnke, jr., co-founder of the U.S. Naval Research Institute and a graduate of the Class of 1925 was invested with a Doctor of Science; and retiring President of the Whittier College Board of Trustees, Thomas W. Bewley, Esq., and the Commencement speaker, District Attorney John K. Van de Kamp, both received Doctor of Law degrees. The traditional reception for graduates, parents, friends and the entire College community was held on the Poet's Quad following the ceremony. Earlier in the day the Baccalaureate service had been held in the Memorial Chapel, when the Rev. Kiane E. Robison, Minister of the Whittier First Friends Church, spoke to the Class of 1977.

At the same time there are cooperative efforts that can bring us the inner contentment that comes from commitment to ideas and principles beyond ourselves. For the individual, there is the pride and happiness found in reach- ing for excellence and in the sacri- fice required in trying to get there. The challenges are as diverse as human existence. Faced with the drought and food shortages, we have yet to devise diets which will adequately feed a burgeoning world population and a way to bring more equity to the world-wide distribution of food. Equally important, we must seek new solutions to the energy crises; new ways to heat our homes and offices, run our factories, cook our food, and provide transportation. To do these things, we're going Richard Winters, Director of Planned to have to find, among other things, Giving, lends a hand at robing Trustee new ways to tap the resources of Vice President Dennis J.

2 We have much to learn about our bodies. We have yet to conquer cancer, sickle cell anemia, and mul- tiple sclerosis. And why do people do what they do? Psychology is still an infant. The frontier of the hu- man mind has barely been explored. New art, and new music, await those who reach for the outer limit, far beyond the Rolling Stones and Alice Cooper and David Bowie. More seriously, far beyond Stravin- sky and Schoenberg, who infuriated contemporaries with their radical- ism, yet ultimately became acceptable.

To do that, I suggest at least three things must happen: we will need more lawyers; the econo- mics of law practice will have to change drastically; and we will have to streamline and develop alterna- tives to our adjudicative processes to make them faster moving and less expensive. Indeed, regardless of our area of activity, we all face important chal- lenges brought about by our chang- ing social fabric. There are broader questions.

Many of these institu- tions, these social forces which in the past bound us together as a civilized people, are dissipating. One out of two marriages ends in divorce. Often acrimoniously. Many times leaving women and children to turn to the welfare system. Too many families exist without a real father and the love and affection that two parents bring. We have witnessed the emancipa- tion of women to play co-equal roles with men in the competitive aspects of our society.

LASTING FRIENDSHIPS They met in the second grade, four little girls skipping down the streets of a Quaker town at the turn of the century. They minded their manners, were polite to their elders, and studied their books. They played together in the parks, blew out the candles on their birthday cakes and watched the numbers of candles grow. Soon the short winters and long, smog- less California summers of childhood were over for Dorothy, Florence, Bertha and Gladys, and suddenly, or so it seemed, they were young ladies. Now they were Miss Dorothy Williams, (L to R) Dorothy (Williams '25) Massey, Bertha (Barr) Knox, Florence (Johnson '17) Miss Florence Johnson, Miss Bertha Barr Steere, and Gladys (Foster '25) Comp ton.

Williams, had attended Whittier Academy, and her grandfather, Herman B. Williams, had founded Whittier's first newspaper The Whittier Register, and had been one of the first members of the Whittier College Board of Trustees. Her father took to journalism as his father had. A war corre- spondent during World War I, he was later a sports writer for the Los Angeles Times, and then president of the Pacific Coast Baseball League. Florence's father too was a well- known Whittier personality. The late Dr. Levi D. Johnson was a prominent and well-loved local physician.

8S Sandra Plann '68 is an instructor in the Northrup University Language Institute (NULl). She participated in the national convention of Teaching of English to Speakers of Other Lan- guages (TESOL) in Miami, April 26 to May 1, where she presented the results of a study she completed on the bilingual education project in the Culver City schools. The study, entitled "The Spanish Immersion Program: Toward Na- tive-Like Proficiency or a Classroom Dialect?" was part of the requirement for her Master's thesis in Teaching English as a Second Language. Her cross-sectional study and analysis of this innovative program in bilingual education contributes to an understanding of technical developments in bilingual education, in which interest has been steadily growing in the South- west, particularly since Congress passed the Bilingual Education Act in 1968. "No one knows-the best way to teach kids a second language," Sandra says, "so successful pilot programs are of considerable importance. Bilingual education could mean as little as 10 minutes of Spanish each day or using only Spanish everyday in the entire educational ex- perience, which is known as 'immersion'. Ideal- ly, it should mean a process in which both Eng- lish- and Spanish-speaking children become bilingual." - In the program Sandra studied through 1971-72, kindergartners were taught by a Spanish-English bilingual teacher who spoke only Spanish to her monolingual, English- speaking American students from the very first day. All subjects were studied in Spanish until 2nd grade, when they began to receive instruc- tion in English reading for an hour each day. Sandra realized that Spanish is so phonetic and consistent that it was easy for them to learn and the transfer from Spanish to reading Eng- lish came quickly to them. Sandra received her M.A. from UCLA and before returning to the Los Angeles area, she served as a director of courses at the Binational Center in Ecuador (1971-73) on a U.S. Infor- mation Services fellowship. She taught English as a second language in Madrid, Spain, from 1974-75, and in the Lennox Adult School in 1975-76.

SCHOLAR-ATHLETE The president's award for Whit- tier College's outstanding scholar- athlete this year goes to Craig Towers, a swimmer-water polo player with a 3.81 scholastic average. Towers is a chemistry major from Warren High School of Dow- ney, planning a medical career. He accepted the trophy from Dr. W. Roy Newsom to climax the annual all-sports barbecue. Previous scholar-athlete winners were: golfer Peter Dehlinger, 1971; wrestler Gary Whisenant, 1972; trackman Mike Getz, 1973; wrestler Craig Towers and Dr. W. Roy Newsom Kenneth Ward, 1974; trackman Steve Parminter, 1975; football player John Getz and basketball player Dave Harris, 1976. Two other awards, instituted last year by the 1195 booster club, were presented by club president Jim Perry to basketball star Karl Simmons as the "male athlete of the year" and tennis player Donna Basham as "female athlete of the year." Simmons' basketball talent is recognized throughout Southern California since he was honored as "college player of the year" by Adohr Farms and Miller Brewing Co. He set eight new individual scoring records, including a single season scoring total of 618 points in 29 games. Basham, who played with the Whittier College men's tennis team as a freshman, joined the women's squad this season and won the con- ference singles championship. She prepped at Whittier High School.
