Third Palomar Bond Defeated; Board To Decide 'What Next' Three consecutive bui lding programs for Palonar Junior College have been voted down by certain areas of our district. Thi s was determined Frid ay , Ma y 21, as 3535 votes were cast in f avor of the b onds and 1949 against. Approximately 200 more affirmative votes were needed for the necessary 66.6 per cent. Doyle Dannenbery of Escondido and Jam e s Sutton of Vista will take over the i r posts on the Board of Governors sometime during the s~er. Even though Esc ondido did ~ot carry i n any p rec i nct, if it had done as well as they did during thepreceeding bond issue, PJC would be starting its bond an ti cip a t ed building program. Students and citizens alike have been askl. ng , "What next"? That difficult question can only be answered by the Board of Go vernors.
Harry Muhlbradt, assistant bu siness manager, looks ove r bond issue tabulations as they appear at 11:00 p.m. la$ Friday evening.

will not soon forget the Class
One of the tragedies of the junior college is the fact that by the time we of the faculty get well acquainted with the students, we look up and see them in their graduation robes. It is during the Sophomore year that the typical student captures the spirit of Palomar and acquires strong bonds of loyalty to it. Each graduation leaves a void in leadership friendship and esprit de corps which seems irr~ placeable. The Class of •54 is a most outstanding example of this perennial loss of student leadership and abilities. Numbered among this class are some of the most outstanding speakers, actor~, athletes, musicians, and academic students whohave ever attended Palomar. I believe that this group represents more enthusiastic loyalty and versatility than any class that has ever graduated from Palomar College. You have done a great deal for Palomar. I hope that Palomar has done something for you: that it has better equipped you for responsibilities of citizenship and that it has increased your capac!~ and desire to serve your fellow man. Palomar will not lose interest in you. Please do not lose your interest in Palomar after your graduation.

SPORT SCOPE
Comet Teams Successful Sports have come to a close at Palomar for the 1954 year but not before the college had established itself as one of the powers in the South Central Conference. The Comets started off the year by posting a 3-5 record in football and although the teamfinished fourth in the league standings with a l-4mark, Coach Bob Bowman's squad was as tough as any in the league. Rudy Akin, Jim Fortenberry, TomLasswell, Jan Berlin, Don Portis, and John Viera received all-league recognition. Fortenberry received more honors by being namedallSouthern California JC second team and thirdteam all-state. Basketball came next and the scrappy Comet team, under theleadershlp of Ward (Rusty) Myers,got off to a flying atart in league play arid camewithin one game of taking the league championship. Due to a series of bad breaks the Comets finishedfourth just one game out of first place with a 6-4 record, Joe McCoy, Don Portis, and Monte Green were tabbed as all league selections. McCoy finished fifth in South Central Conference scoring and thirteenth in Southern California scoring. Portis was an all tournament selection in the Oceanside tourney, In the spring baseball, track, and tennis came to the Palomar campus, The baseball team, after a slow start, came on fast to finish in third place in the league standings. Coach Myers• boys posted a 5-4 league to finish two games out of first place, Ed Mojado, George Cordry, Monte Green, and Don Portis led the Comet attack on the diamond. Mojado did some fine pitching and led the team in batting with a ,Jl9 mark. Cordry was the leading pitcher winning fou~ games and posting a 1,65 earned run average, Green also pitched fine ball and batted over .300 in league play. Portis hit .306 and fielded brilliantly at the end of the season, The Comet track squad league fared well in meets but triangular team finished Bowman's

Palomar undoubtedly would have finished third if a pair of the Comets top men had participated in thefinals Rudy Akin, Al Kish, Joe McCoy, John Troutman, and Phil Rogers paced the Palomar track squad, Akin amassed 43 points inthree meets but was able to participate only in the shot-put in the league finals, Kish finished second in the half milein the finals and racked up points in every Palomar meet, McCoy was the top two-miler in the conference but was also unable to run in the finals, Troutman was the shot-put king in the leaguehitting 41• 9" in the finals for a new school and league record, Rogers took the league high jumpchampionship going 5·• 10 3/fi."' in the finals. The tennis team, coached by Lynn Calland, took second place in the South Central Conference finals. This was the highest finish of any Palomar team in league play. Al Chamberlain, Don Stevenson, Dick Waegner, and Jan Berlin led the Comet net attack, Chamberlain was top singles man on the squad while Stevenson ranked second, Waegner and Berlin were the top Comet doubles team.

by Cordry Bad news hit the Comet Campus last week end and dealt not only theCollege but also the athletic department a great blow, Once more the school~ earnest appeal for its desperately needed bond issue was rejected by the voters in the school district, Personally speaking I cannot begin tounderstand just what the voters, especially in my own community, were thinking about when they went to the polls. Evidently not quite enough people realize that the college isan asset to its outlying communities and that, given a chance, the schoo~s potential is endless, Coaches Ward Myers and Bob Bowman instilled a new attitude into athletics at Palomar. The attitude was fresh and clean and the resultswere gratifying to both tne coaches and the campus, The Comet squads all turned in fine seasons in sports and were respected throughout the South Central Conference. One can only wonder about the future of the Palomar athletic pr•gr~. There won 1 t be any new gym next year and no new facilities to lessen the burdens the sportsdepartment coped with thisyear. Yet, under the fine leadership of the athletic department at Palomar, Comet tea~s will probably reach higher goals than they achieved this year. I hope that this will be possible even though the one community that stands toprofit the most from thesuc~essful Comet teams doesn't believe in the school enough to put faith in its future,
Tennis Squad 2nd in Finals Palomar College ended a successful athleticseason by finishing second in the South Central Conference tennis finals held at Citrus JC last Friday. The host team finished first, trailed by the Comets, Oceanside, and ·Antelope Valley, Head tennis coach Lynn Calland took a six-man traveling squad to Glendora, the town in which Citrus is located, and four men reached the semi-finals. It was strictly a two-man team match in the semi-finals with Citrus and Palomar the only schools to place men. In first round play, Al Chamberlain, Comet first singles player, got Palomar off to a flying start by defeating an Antelope Valley man in straight sets. Don Stevenson, secondsingles, followed up with another easy win over anOceanside opponent. Dick Waee;ner and Jan Berlin, first doubles team, won their first round match from Oceanside doubles team but the second doubles team of Jim Floyd and Bob Brennan dropped a close match to the number two Citrus do1~les duo. In the semi-finals the Comets met with a little more than they could handle and dropped all their rna tche s to t!Je Citrus team. Chamberlain was dropped by the number two Citrus man and Stevenson lost to the number three Owl player. The doubles team of Waegner andBerlin was trounced by the top doubles team from Citrus to give the Owls clean sweep of the semi-finals,
