By Michaelynn Meyers and Kathy Healea A letter dated 1931 is the cause of much excitement among the sisters of Saint Mary's.

The letter was found under the statue of the Madonna on the front lawn by four Ohlone students.

Tracking down the source of the letter revealed the story of the statue.

Saint Mary of the Palms, at the time the letter was written( was a boarding school for all types · of girls.

The statue was a gift from the former students to the school as a show of their appreciation for the sisters.

Sister Mary Lewis, now a teacher at St. Joseph's Catholic School, was commissioned by the former students to find an outdoor statue of the virgin Mary and infant Jesus.

The child was a necessity as a symbol of the loving care the students received at the school.

Sister Mary Lewis searched the Bay area for a statue for many weeks; but was unsuccessful. She finally appealed to Sister Marcolea, Mother Superior at that time, who sent to Bavaria, Germany for the statue. · The dedication ceremonies took place on June 6, 1931. Sisters and former students came from as far away as Oregon and San Diego: Today these former students are mothers and grandmothers.

They show their appreciation

Play Cancelled For This Quarter Ohlone's production of "The Little Hut" was canceled from this year's spring events.

Craig Jackson, head of drama productions, made the decision to produce "The Little Hut" in the fall with a series of other plays.

Jackson is considering several plays for the fall, among them, "Call Me By My Rightful Name," "The Fantastics " and "Who's Afraid of Virgini~ Woolf," by Edward Albee.

New Officers ElectedConstitution Amended On May 29 and 31 A.S.0.C. members went to the polls and elected new Student Body officers and approved all twelve proposed Constitutional amendments.

Steve Bammel, A.S.O.C. president, was re-elected. He ran unopposed as did Gloria Villisana, now vice-president.

Representative-at-Large Bill Jackson was returned to office as was Secretary Linda Largin, by write-in vote.

Lloyd Sawyer takes over the position of Commissioner of Public Relations from Richard DeBenedictus: Dorien Hostetler, formerly com~

m1ss10ner of internal affairs, has been elected to the office of commissioner of Academic Affairs.

Penny Provience replaces Diane Healy as treasurer. There was a tie for the office, but Tom Waterman declined to participate in a run-off election.

Among the important constitutional revisions is the dropping of the required maintenance of a 2.0 average while serving in office, the qualification of voters and the procedures for initiative, referendum, and recall.

Copies of the revisions may be obtained in the Happy Room.

through donations of hospital beds, tables, and other equipment for the infirmary at the convent.

Sister Mary Lewis explained that, to the students, the length of the old Saint Mary of the Palms building was like the outstretched arm~

of the virgin, reaching out to greet them.

The letter, found by kathy Healea, Michaelynn Meyers, Tom Nordby, and Jeri Sutherland, will be placed in the archives by the Dominican Sisters.

St. Mary of the Palms Has Unique, Interesting History

By Mar Lou Vanderbruge

For over 50 years, the large wo.oden structure that was once the St. Mary of the Palms, has remained as a historic landmark in the Fremont-Mission area: The school which was run by the I Dominican Sisters of Mission San I Jose, first pened it's door in 1907 as a home for orphaned girls. It was a large portion of the site, which later became the main building of the school · and was deeded to the Sisters by Father Patrick Blake, in 1910.

cision to re-develop the child care program and also decided to make the school one for a treatment of troubled girls. With this new addition of girls, the school's name was changed to Junipero Serra Center for Girls. The school then operated until 1967, with more than 300 girls being helped through the care and schooling received at the center.

When the Sisters left the school and leased the land to Ohlone they had placed all the remaining girls in foster homes and other schools throughout the state.

Tears filled the eyes of the neighbors and many hearts were saddened as they watched the flames

After many years, the buildings I on the thirty acre campus became inadequate and overcrowded, but neither the Sisters or the girls could leave the site or the work that they were doing. Additional class rooms were built and the school then operated as a day school for children in this area as well as a boarding school. Due to the lack of classroom

consume the main building of St. Mary of the Palms. Many of Fremont's long time residents also felt a great loss since they themselves attended the school.

Even today the Sisters still keep in touch with some of their students' who attended the school 30 years ago. Many of these students have come from as far as 100 miles to show their families the old school and to tell the mof all the memories connected with it.

All that is left today is the charred remains of a school · that was a historic landmark. E;ven though the school is gone, no one can forget St. Mary of the Palms.

'T om·my' Keeps Busy As Head of Maintenance

Ohlone Hymn

Thompson is very impressed with the young people at Ohlone, and has a great deal of admiration for them.

He understands their problems and knows what they are going through, so he tries to make their tour of duty here at Ohlone as easy as possible.

However, he is sometimes caught between helping student comfort along, and watching expenses.

One decision he had to make concerned our lump-happy parking lot.

He had to decide between a tooexpensive blacktop and our present dust mop paradise. He chose the inexpensive oil-tar-and-rock combination because it best suited the expenses available and the idea of a temporary campus. What would of happened if we did not have that gravel slide that graces our campus, and instead just plain old mother dirt? "During the winter, cars would. have sunk out of sight," he ·says. I am not personally frantic about that idea either.

Instead of sinking and sliding cars we have slipping and sliding people getting dirty and turning ankles.

(See, there is something to do in Fremont.)

He has his parking problems too.

His problem is where people should not park-the handicaps' parking area. "People should search their heart," he said, "before parking in that area." They are thinking of closing the area off.

"My main intention,'' he said, "is to instill in my custodians the purpose of the college and its people.

I want as healthy and clean place as possible."

It is nice to know there is such people on campus.

Defense Will Be the Key To Next Year's Football Team With nine returning lettermen, Ohlone hopes to win its first league championship.

Coach Dick Paynter feels that with this group of men and some good high school talent that Ohlone can do just that.

The defense looks to be the strong point for the Saints football team.

The guards will be backed by Gary Phelps ( 6' 4", 290 lbs.) and John Fudenna (5' 10", 230 lbs.). Another hopeful is Larry Cannon ( 6' 4", 275 lbs.).

The tackle spots are still open.

These will probably be filled with high school seniors.

Linebackers will be filled by Rich Porter (5' 11", 240 lbs.), Les Brooks (5' 10", 190 lbs.) and Jim Dvork (5' 10", 180 lbs.).

The defensive back candidates are Vince Conde (5' 11", 190 lbs.), John Martiniz (5' 11", 165 lbs.), Karl Roderick ( 6' O", 205 lbs.) and Dave Brown ( 6' 3", 180 lbs.). Brown

was the leading pass intercepter of last year. Also he was chosen the most valuable player.

Other hopefuls are Paul Johnson ( 5' 10", 165 lbs.), Walley Kerns (5' 7", 155 lbs.), Berno Dronkers ( 6' 2", 235 lbs.) and Allen Tucker (6' O", 210 lbs.).

The offense will need the most work. The quarterba<;k position is wide open. Coach Paynter also feels that a good blocking fulback is needed.

Hopefuls on the offense are Rod Morin ( 6' 2", 240 lbs.), Grant Cutter (5' 10", 185 lbs.) and Brown.

There are a few high school players who the coach is hopeful of getting to fill the offense. At the present time the coaches are talking to four year players also.

Practice starts on Monday, September 2. Anyone wishing to con- · tact the coach may do so by calling the college at 657-2100 ..

SPORTS

MISS WALTON pauses during preparation for finals.

Creates Best Campus Rumor "I only accompanied the baseball team to St. Mary's; I am not the new coach," states Barbara Walton, Ohlone physical education and health instructor. Thus she squelched quite possibly one of the best rumors to circulate on campus all year.

Due to the lack of an available male faculty member to accompany the team, she was drafted for the assignment. Her chore was to "ride over with them and sit in the stands and watch them play."

Herself active in sports, she believes that "girls don't do enough active things."

While studying for her B.S. at the University of Utah, she participated in many woman's team sports. She enjoyed the traveling that the teams did.

While in school she traveled to Sweden with the Experiment in International Living. She lived with a Swedish family for one month and then toured for one month.

When asked to comment on the experience she states that "When you live in America everyone seems so different, but all people are essentially the same everywhere."

Before coming to Ohlone Miss Walton taught for three years at Mt. Eden High School in Hayward.

Among her activities there she was an advisor to the yell leaders and song girls.

As an advisor to Ohlone's spirit group she feels that a spirit club should be formed to take the burden off of the yell leaders and song girls . She also feels that the group could have been more effective because "There was so much to do this first year that they were not able to function fully."

Miss Walton believes that Ohlone's spirit will be much better next year "We've got a good cross section of people, this first year has been a valuable experience and next year the students should have more of a college attitude."

The two races listed in last issue's column drew good crowds and excellent competition, but the race at Cotati was apparently still not the last one for the old track.

Plans are for another race at the site early next month to be sponsored by the San Francisco J ayCees. They always throw a good bash, and are not afraid to spend a little money to have some big name talent show up·. Last year they had George Follmer and Lothar Motchenbacher driving the cars they ran in the USRRC race series.

This year they expect to have Lothar back again, along with Charlie Parsons, winner of the 1966 United States Road Racing Championship series, and are at present trying to finalize a contract to have Mark Donohue, 19 7 US.RRC ·champ and winner of several 1968 rac·es, put in an appearance driving his racewinning McLaren-Chev.

What SCCA really needs in this region is a good. permanent facility. This has been said so many times that most members don't even hear it any more, but the spectators are here and want to see good racing. All SCCA has to do is get out of their gentleman-racer bag and start spending some money. They may even make some in the long run.

This, gentlemen, is the name of the game.

How Much longer?

Again we have a tragedy to mourn. Again the same senseless use of violence has taken one of our leaders; and again, in all probability, after we have passed what we f.eel to be the required mourning period and said "meaningful" things to our friends about how the loss and the waste affect us, we will not change our ideals. We will not change any of our attitudes that will have any lasting effect on the conditios present in our country that, while not encouraging the use of violence and force, allows it under the "right" circumstances.

This condition, like it or not, has some serious ramifications that reach into the guts of every one of us that cares to think ahout next year or the year after. Each of us must make chnages in our attitudes, our permissiveness, to determine how long we will allow this malignant thing to exist.

W·e must decide how much longer we will continue to see a need for violence as part of our lives. We must decide how much longer we will condone lawlessness, for if we . are willing to admit it, we do condone lawless acts when they are committed in favor of a "cause" that we think is right. We must decid·e how much longer we will permit the use of force in human dealings.

Violence and abuse of the law pervade our media, our history and our social movements to a point where we consider them natural and normal things. We must 'r elegate the use of force and violence between human beings to a pla ce in our past, as a part of a darker age, that no longer fits our morals or ideals.

Thanks for the 'Yes' Vote The Herald staff, as spokesman for the student body, would like to think everyone who voted for passage of the college bonds and all those who worked for its passage.

The need for the college is evident, and we are glad that the community saw this need at a time when its action could he most effective and passage of the bond could accomplish the most for the money. Thank you again for voting "yes."

Miss Pallister Appointed Dean At Canada College

By Sharon LaMarche Miss Patricia Pallister, counselor at Ohlone, was recently appointed Dean of Women and counselor at Canada College, the new -campus of the San Mateo Junior College District. She will begin counseling there on August 19.

Students at Cochise College, a junior college in southeastern Arizona.

Miss Pallister enjoys working with college college students. She is enthusiastic about young people today who, in her words, "are truly concerned about the lives and problems of people. They have a vigor, an enthusiasm, and a real commitment to live life in accordance with the ideals and philosophies that we for many years have merely professed. I foresee a better future as this generation finds ways of making these ideals realities."

Since that time my country has become involved in war that seems will never end, rioting and looting · have become common occurrences in our streets, the Nation has become divided into two segments, one black and one white. Still, many people are speaking out against this violence. When will they stop talking and do something?
