Drama, Art, Fiction Added To Library The art co llection of t he College library has recently been enlarged with the addition of many interesting titles in various fields of art expression.

A portfolio of Edgar Degas reproducing ten ballet sketches gives an insight into t he operation of the creative process. Several works on Picasso and Cezanne include "Picasso, the recent years, 19 391946" by Harriet and Sidney Janis; "Cezanne" by Edward Jewell, art critic of the New York Times; and Erie Loran's "Cezanne's composition, analysis of his form, with diagrams and photographs of his motifs ."

"The Potter's Craft" by C. F. Binns is a practical guide to ceramic craftsmanship , with si mple, time-tested instructions for turning, glazing, firing and all other aspects of clay work. "Jewelry Making and Design" by Rose and Cirino is a complete handbook describing every aspect of jewelry designing and creation. "Picture Framing" by Edwa rd Landon illustrates modern methods for making and finishing picture frames.

J. I. Biegeleisen's "The Silk Screen Printing Process", C. R. Havighorst's "Simplified Show Card Writing" and Clarence Hornung's "Lettering from A to Z cover other interesting phases of arts and crafts.

Recent additions in the field of drama include "20 Best Plays of the Modern Ame rican Theatre", "16 Famous American Plays", 16 Famous British Plays", "5 Great Modern Irish Plays", "16 Famous European Plays", and "6 Plays by Clifford Odets.

was the command in December, 1'942. Four years later Dr. McNaughton removed the gold oak leaves of a major, turned his job of Information and Intelligence Officer over to his successor and accepted the position of President of Palomar College.

During his undergraduate days Dr. McNaughton planned to become a farmer or farm advisor.

However in his junior year, Dr. McNaughton says, he became interested in teaching vocational agriculture under the Smith-Hughes program . He gained practical experience and helped pay his way through college by pruning trees in Colorado orchards, caring for livestock and worki ng in the experimental station.

Came the crash of 1929 . That same year Dr. McNaughton graduated f rom t he Colorado State College of Agricu lture and Mec hanic Arts.

Du ring t he fo llowing critica l years he was able to advance from teacher of agriculture to superintendent of schoo ls at Cedaredge, Colorado. At Eastern New Mexico Junior College he taught science.

In 1942 Dr. McNaughton received his doctor 'of education degree from Stanford and ;n ::;&ptember went to Santa Ana Air Base as instructor in meteorology.

Three months later he enlisted in the Army Air Corps.

President McNaughton paid tri'bute to the high caliber of stud t::nts here at Palomar, saying, "The students of Palomar College are disting uis hed by their desire to learn and their willingness to put up with the ha_rdships involved in founding a new institution . I am well satisfied with the scholarship of both veterans and students recently graduated from the high school."

Stressing the desire of the College to serve all members of the community, Dr. McNaughton added, "The response of adults to courses offered by the College has been most gratifying."

An increase of enrollment from the present 450 students to an enrollment of 700 or I000 students within five or six years was envisioned by our President.

LANGUAGE CLASS IMTRIGUED

BY SWISS LANGUAGE Palomar has one for Ripley! "Believe It or Not" we have on our campus a man who speaks four or five languages daily, yet NEVER speaks his own native .tongue! However, a rare opportunity presented itself when Mr. Alois Joerg, a native of Switzerland and a student at Palomar, was introduced to Mr. ·Heyne. Much to the amazement of the sbdents of German, they could understand nothing of the :conversation, which was in Swiss, Mr. Heyne stated, but they found the conversation ,fascinating because of the animation of the speakers.

A Thanksgiving "Sports" dance is being sponsored by the Sophomore Class tonight in the gym immediately after the last class of the double-s hort schedule.

An elaborate program is being presented. No detail has been overlooked. There will be a sixpiece orchestra consisting of George Havins, manager, Arlo Schroeder, Basilio Martinez and three other musicians from Oceanside.

Speciality acts, such as impersonations, songs and dances by talented persons from Fallbrook and other surrounding communities are on the program. Jerry Mattson will give with the Jive during intermission. Also some lucky student is to receive a turkey .

Barbara Donath and Geneva Ware have been very busy with the decorations. Guy Matsinger and his crew have performed miracles, turning the gym into a "Garden of Surprises."

Refreshments will be served during the intermissions. ' Come join your classmates and enjoy a full evening of entertainment. Morris MacDonald, president of the Sophomore class, stated that students will be admitted by their student body tickets and may bring an escort or girl friend.

Lacey Recounts Strike Editors Note: David Lacey, a veteran student here. particioated in n ~tudent strike ~t Ala~eda, California which was unique in that it resulted in the ousting of the city administration . Because we believe his account is an example both of good reporting and of civic consciousness examplified . by a group of students, we are printing it below .

The bell ending the Latin c l had just sounded. As I left the room and headed towards my next class, I noticed a small group of my friends talking excitedly.

The central figure in the group was the student body president, who was busily engaged in answering the questions that were flying thick and fast. When I finally managed to make myself heard, I asked the president what the fuss was all about. "Haven't you heard," he said, "the mayor, the city manager, and two of the city councilmen have voted to expel Mr. Haden, our Superintendent of Schools, and they have already named his sucessor." This was bad news, for Mr. Haden was well liked by all who knew him.

His ability and integrity were unimpeachable. I glanced around me, and the expressions on my friends faces clearly foretold one fact, a storm was brewing, and its full fury had to be unleashed that very day.

The darkening clouds which had been gathering over Alameda High school all morning suddenly broke when all of us students present voted unanimously to follow the leadership of our president and our • student council. And just as suddenly as they broke, I found myself participating in what I believe was the first strike by high school students that ever decided a political issue in an organized community.

After the strike was decided upon, the student council members quic~ly canvassed all the class rooms, calling upon all the students who had remained in class to ioin the cause am:l make the stril<e one hundred per cent effecContinued on page 4, column 2

Laramie Indicted For Murder!

Zackman Stands Exonerated!

Fred Laramie stands charged with murder! Dick Zackman stands exonerated! These were the verdicts of the Psychology IA class, after subjecting the defendants to an exhaustive. ~ree association +:st.

Seems that Laramie had been blackmadmg one Pearl Wh1te. Pearl had turned the incriminating evidence over to a gentleman friend of hers, and in order to get possession of the damaging documents Laramie found it necessary to bump off said gentleman.

The dastardly crime took place in Mr. Vogel's office, but he was not held as an accomplice, after he swore on scout's honor that he knew neither Pearl nor her protector.

Laramie, foolish boy, thought that by burning the blood-stained letter which was marked by his fingerprints that he would escape detection, but Sherlock Smith and his indefatigable crew of consulting psychologists, after putting him through a battery of lie detection tests, turned him over to the District Attorney for prosecution. Laramie, it is expected, will plead non compos mentis.

Student Has Buck Fever; Take Your Fist out of My Face! .. or .. Pardon Me, Dr., While I Breathe Thrown By Dollar Bil Is there a student who knows the meaning of the insignia on the back of a one dollar bill? Mrs. McClenathan, an inquisitive student, would welcome any authoritative information.

For two weeks she has been trying to find someone who could enlighten her as to the meaning of the pyramid, the eagle and the eye found on all dollar bills.

She first contacted a bank teller in the Bank of America, Escondido.

He stated, "Madam, if that insignia isn 't on your dollar bill, you may be certain that you are in possession of a counterfeit. The significance of the insignia is a $64 question which I am unable to answer. All that interests me is that at the end of the day I am not missing" any eyes; pyramids or eagles.

Next she questioned the druggist in the Beebe Drug Store, Escondido. He replied, "I wouldn't have the slightest idea who put it there or what it means. As long as it appears, I'll exchange my products for said dollar bill."

Ray Bevins, a math major here, was slightly more helpful, saying: "The pyramids do have mathematical significance and have been correlated with certain historical' facts, but why the pyramid shou ld be chopped off at the top, I wouldn't know. The "eye", I believe, is also part of the Masonic emblem. There could be some spiritual significance attached."

Miss Binford, librarian at Escondido, and Mrs. Nesbin, College librarian, both cheerfully amassed all available information, but Mrs. McClenathan found herself still in a state of relative unenlightment.

In desperation she turned to Mr. Rodney Smith, professor of social sciences, thinking that an authority on the evolution of social institutions could give a definite answer.

Alas, Mr. Smith took refuge in that masterpiece of academic evasion, the statement "It is an interesting question why don't you look it up and report on it later."

Is there anyone who can put Mrs. McClenathan out of her misery?

The. problems of a columnist (not to be confused with Communists, who are found only in Russia and Hollywood) are many and varied. The greatest of these is finding something to write about.

Avocado Bowl FpOTBALL Thanksgiving Day- 2 P. M. Torr a nee at Fallbrook

I approached the massive old door and looked ~pprehensively at it's strong oak panels. Somehow it presented an ominous appearance, and I bemoaned the cruel fate that brought me to it's threshold. The gloom thickened around me as I slowly turned the ornate brass knob and pushed heavily on the door. Entering, I found myself standing in a small, dimly-lighted room. Several chairs were placed against the walls, and in the center stood a magazine-covered table. The atmosphere was permeated with the odor of antiquity. Breathing was an unpleasar;t experience; so I prayed again that this ordeal would soon be over. My prayers instigated action, for across from me a door opened and a bespectacled old man stepped into view. "Well, young man," he said, "What can I do for you? " After two or three unsuccessful attempts to speak, I falteringly replied, "My mother wants you to look at my teeth, Doctor."

"Very good, " he said, "If you will come in here and sit in this nice soft chair, I will proceed with the examination. " This, my first visit to the dentist, was a memorable and exciting event. The dentist, a kindly old gentleman, was apparently practicing just for the sake of something to do. His office was poorly arranged; his equipment old fashioned and obsolete. But these things meant nothing to me then, for I was interested only in getting out of there and returning home.

He began the examination by probing around, in my mouth with a little round mirror on the end of a rod. He moved it rapidly from one side to the other, and before finishing was well on his way to playing the entire first stanza of "Yankee Doodle" on my teeth. Then with a few 'hm-m-ms' and "ha-a-as' he stepped over to his instrument case and extracted from it the most sharply pointed piece of metal I have ever seen in my life. I shut my eyes and gripped the side of the chair with all my might. This, then, would be my end, for how could anyone survive in the face of such a wicked looking weapon.

Once again he started banging against my teeth. I couldn't yell, for he had half of his hand in my mouth. I just sat there and shook all over. He paused, evidently to let me catch my breath, and realizing I was badly shaken, tried to soothe me. "If I hurt you, son," he said, "Don't be afraid to speak up." But how could I speak when he had his brawny fist curled up in my mouth? He returned to his instrument case and put away the pointed weapon. "Thank goodness," I thought, "the worst is over with." But I hadn't felt anything yet.

I closed my eyes momentarily, and when I opened them again, I almost dropped dead. "Oh, murder!" What was this monstrous thing he held in his hand? Was he going to put 'that' in my mouth? No, no, this was too much. "Let me out of here", I whooped, but he calmly put a huge knee against my chest and reminded me that he had work to do.

As he was searching for a likely place to begin, I was also searching, but for an avenue of escape. I was sure that it was my only salvation. This dentist, however, was a seasoned veteran, wise to the ways of little boys, and he kept his knee firmly plantd against my chest, thus discouraging any sudden moves on my · part.

Suddenly a strange noise filled the room, and I jumped with alarm when I realized it was coming from the monstrous thing in his hand. "I'm lost," I thought, "I'll never be able to live through this." It sounded like a buzz saw, and I was still conjuring visions of the effect of this thing working in my mouth, when he unwittingly hit a nerve. "He has electrocuted me and I am dead", I thought. "That is why he is starting to cover my head wit~ that white cloth." But it was only a towel which he use:J to wipe away the perspiration from my dripping brow. He asked me 1f it hurt much, and with tears as big as lamp bulbs trickling down my cheeks. I replied, "Oh, no, Doctor, not a• bit." That was the most deliberate lie I ever told.

A half hour or so later, with a grunt that denoted satisfaction, he finally climbed down from my chest. "I guess that is all for now, son, so you may get down from the chair," he said, and though I was as weak as a penny balloon, I nevertheless jumped down with alacrity_. _for that chair had meant nothing but trouble for me. He was busy wntmg, and presently he handed me a folded piece of paper. "Take this to your mother, son, and be sure she gets it", he said. "Yes, sir", I meekly replied, and with this comment ~ left the room. . .

Once outside I breathed 1n great gulps of fresh a1r, and my former lugubrious state was dissipated in the joyful thought that all was well again. Soon an overwhelming curiosity forced me to unravel and rea:J the slip of paper which the dentist ha~ hande_d me. I had ~upposed 1t to be his bill for services, but instead 1+ conta1ped much wnflng. I had just started to read it when my eye caught a word in the last paragraph, and I stopped dead in my tracks. Oh, my aching gums! He wants me back next Saturday so that he can drill two more of my defenseless bicuspids. I won't go! I'll run away and join the Foreign Legion, that's what.

Needless to say I did not run away; neither did I miss that appointment nor the many that followed it. But I ca_n t~uth~ully say_ that even now, as my imagination recalls it, that dent1st IS _stdl ~neelmg. on m_y chest, and my mouth aches with every slip of the 1magmary drdl he IS holding in his hand.

1P ALOMAR COLJLJEGJE

SPORTS-WARRIORS TO BATTLE TORRANCE THURSDAY Attention football fans! Torranee and the Fallbrook Warriors will clash at 2 p.m. Thanksgiving day in the Avocado Bowl, Fallbrook.

Fallbrook is the kingpin of the Southern Prep League,- having finished the season undefeated.

Never before has Fallbrook gone out of its own league to play intersectional games, but this year the whole town feels that the team has the fight-spirit and the knowhow to win the Southern California Junior League Championship.

Eddie Cole, who coached last year's top Oceanside-Carlsbad J. C. team, is coaching at Torrance this year. The tough Torrance schedule has included games with Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Redlands and Inglewood.

Local fans should find this Thanksgiving game a real thriller.

After a year in moth balls, basketball is currently the center of interest in girls gym classes.

Volleyball, tennis, and golf also have their faithful followers. Mrs. Hueston Harp~r, girls athletics instructor, encourages her students to take up tennis and golf because they offer a life-long means of recreation.

Expert Teaches Golfers At Rancho Santa Fe The opportunity of learning golf under the tutelage of such experts as Mr. Bill Train, who recently won the Southern California Open golf championship, and Mr. Roy Painter, head pro at Rancho Santa Fe, has attracted thirtythree students, half of them townspeople, to the golf class sponsored by the college.

Under the supervision of Mrs. Hueston Harper, womens athletics instructor, the class meets at I 0 a.m. each Thursday at the beautiful Rancho Santa Fe course.

Included in those making the trip are a number of woman go/f. ers from Carlsbad and Oceanside.

Students and adults interested are invited to join the class at the beginning of the second semester.

PALOMAR'S FOOTBALL SQUAD CAGEMEN VIEW FILM AS PRACTICE STARTS The basketball season at Palomar officially got. under way two weeks ago when twenty-five asp1ra"nts viewed a training film showing the fine points of cage technique.

Puppy Love

LACEY RECOUNTS STRIKE

Eight years old is slightly young to be in love, especially when the young lady is already married, but that is exactly what happened to me.

It was the fall of 1928. Golden Valley (where we lived) was to undergo some construction. Because it was a small town with no hotel, the construction workers had to room wherever rooms were available. One of the engineers and his wife were rooming with us. I hardly think his wife sensed it at the time, but she was to become the victim of my first puppy love.

She would help me with my school work, and some of my most simple problems would become most difficult, just so I could sit close to her while she explained them to me.

One day to my great disappointment the construction was completed, and my girl friend had to leave me.

There is only one thing I have always regretted; I wouldn't let her kiss me ,goodby because I was too bashful.

tive. Almost all of them decided to participate; those few who wouldn't were sent home.

The teachers congregated in the auditorium, for there were no longer any students left in the rooms. Dr. Thompson, our Principal, called upon all of us to abandon the strike, but his plea fell on deaf ears. The die was cast, and we were determined to break this corrupt political machine and reinstate Mr. Haden.

Small groups of students now began to gather, and several of them, after serious consultation, located the necessary transportation and headed for the different grammar schools throughout the city. The strategy was to make the strike affect all the schools, so that every parent in the city would be forced to recognize the seriousness of the situation. It proved to be a very wise move, for it merged the parents and students into one united force.

Our headquarters were the front steps of the high school, and here the news of how the strike was progressing was announced periodically to the assembled congregation.

Plans of action were constantly being submitted, but it was not until mid-afternoon that a move was decided upon. With our president and council members out in front, we left the high school steps en masse and headed for the city hall. We were met by the chief of police, who, after gaining silence, cautioned us to remain orderly or he would have to break up the demonstration. Our president told him we had no intention of rioting, but he demanded that the city manager and his henchmen show themselves, and answer the charges that we were preferring against them. The police chief told us that this was impossible, for the city officials we wished to see were out of town. After a short conference with the student council, the president announced that our next move would be a mass meeting, to be held at the west end of the city. He urged us to bring our parents, for their cooperation was imperative.

The meeting took place as scheduled, only now the authority for the future moves lay in the hands of our parents, who had turned up by the hundreds. Several of the more prominent men in the group took command of the situation and formed a Citizen's Action Committee. A recall movement was immediately started, and it gained tremendous headway. The city manager was severely criticized. We displayed our feelings in the matter by burning his figure in effigy. At that time it seemed like a fitiing fate for one who had brought so much trouble to our fair city.

The efficacy of the Citizen's Action Committee in handling this spontaneous meeting was most gratifying. They concluded it with the promise that the recall vote would be submitted to the people before the week ended. Their word was good, and the offenders were reca~ed from office by a peremptory vote.

Mr. Haden was then re-instated; his thanks to us for the part we played were profuse.

PATRONS OF PALOMAR ,SLATE FULL PROGRAM The Patrons of Palomar, an organization composed of wives and mothers of students, and women in the community who are interested in the welfare of the College, announces an ambitious program of activities for the year.

Projects contemplated, says Mrs. Margaret McNaughton, President, include the furnishing of the new student lounge, a project in which the Pan Hellenic women will cooperate by making and donating the drapes; a country fair to be presented jointly with the student council in the near future; an address by Dr. Hepner, President of San Diego State College, jointly sponsored by the Patrons and the American Association of University Women, and the first in a series of outstanding • programs planned; and the eventual setting up of a student loan fund.

As the result of a recent and highly successful membership tea, attended by nearly 200 women from northern San Diego County, the membership of the Patrons now numbers 150 women.

The Patrons, says Mrs. McNaughton, desire to cooperate with the faculty and students in promoting all cultural activities.

The group has as its aim assistance to the College in whatever way possible.

Presenting Mr. Shaw Mr. Frank Shaw, amiable teacher of biological sciences, now teaching his first year at Palomar J. C., has had a very interesting and widely divergent background.

Receiving his A.B. degree from U.C., Mr. Shaw taught at San Luis ObispoJ.C.from 1937until1942.

Entering the Air Corps in '42, Mr. Shaw taught physics and military subjects to students in the pre-flight program at the Santa Ana Army Air Base, was then transferred to Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, Kansas, where he taught a training detachment, and then was transferred to Combat Intelligence at Orlando, Florida.

Returning again to the west coast, Mr. Shaw served as Combat Intelligence Officer at Muroc Army Air Base, California, after which he was transferred to Langley Field, Virginia, for training in radio intelligence.

Upon completion of his work at Langley Field, Mr. Shaw was transferred to England as a Radar Intelligence Officer. Here he worked in the electronics section of the Directorate of Intelligence for After the war in Europe was over, he became Guidance and Advisement Officer for the U. S. Armed Forces Institute, where he served until discharged.

Upon his return to civilian life, Mr. Shaw, who is married and has a little girl, worked for a time as Park Naturalist at Yosemite. His duties there were varied, ranging from campfire lecturer at night to various duties in the Park Museum.

In late 1946 Mr. Shaw went to Stanford University, where he received his Masters degree in three quarters of study.

Although he enjoys all wild life, and enjoys his teaching because of the study of wild life is his hobby, Mr. Shaw is especially interested in seashore animals and is rather amazed and disappointed at the lack of rocky coast reefs in this area.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1947 PALOMAR SQUAD RECORD Continued from page 3 Antelope Valley J. C. Nov. I on the Vista High School field. Palomar won 13-7. Their first tally came when Jack Clarno in the end zone took a pass from Andy Waroff. Waroff's attempted kick was blocked. Palomar scored again in the third quarter, when Waroff punched through the center of the line for a touchdown and then booted the ball between the cross bars for the extra point.

Highlight of Palomar's contest with Cal. Poly on the Citrus fi~ld at Covina, Nov. 7, was Andy Waroff's 65-yard run in the third quarter that resulted in Palomar's one score for the game.

Waroff's kick for the extra point was good.

Score at the end of the game was 19-7 in favor of Cal. Poly.

For the enjoyment of the many fans who had expressed a desire to see the two teams compete, Palomar met Oceanside-Carlsbad J. C. on Armistice Day evening on the Escondido High School field.

The Spartans rolled to a 32-0 victory ove~ the Crimson and Grey.

This defeat was hard to take, but the team welcomed this match with their neighboring rivals.

Throughout the season outstanding in the backfield were the following: Andy Waroff, who did a swell job of passing and line bucking; Manny Scruggs, who did a fine job of passing and punting; Manuel Saenz, who was injured at the beginning of the season but did some outstanding ball carrying in the last four games; Lee An-· derson, who made some dramatic returns on kick-offs; Allen Rollins, who was an aggressive line plunger until his leg was injured; Willard Rollins, who did some excellent ball carrying.

Outstanding on the line were the following: Jearl Jesson, who was highly effective on both offense and defense; Hugh Martin, a fine center and equally good on defense; Jack Clarno, dynamic right end; Cal Lewis and Verland Whipple, who both played a driving and canny brand of football.

The complete squad was composed of the following men: Lee Anderson, Manny Scruggs, Willard Rollins, Andy Waroff, AI Keogh, Neil Shireman, Bruce Howe, Frank Reha, Ray Kerby,

Manuel Saenz, Richard Castellani, Allen Rollins, Jack Clarno, Dick Brennan, Bob Morneau.

Cal Lewis, Clint Smith, Hugh Martin, Jearl Jesson, Leo Holland, Robert Miranda, Hal Standerfer, Humphry Patton, Gilbert Gillogly, Wally Rice, Herbert Lopshire, Bob White, Norman Bucher, David White, Verland Whipple.

CHIT CHAT When asked by Mr. Heyne why he was tardy to class, Allen Rollins alibied that he had been standing in line at the postoffice behind a lady who talked endlessly with the clerk. What he neglected to state was that the talkative lady was his wife.

The approach of exams is diminishing the ranks of the inveterate pinochle players who nightly play a furious game in the lounge.

Because they were deprived of the pleasure while in training, the football boys are itching to shake a leg at the Thanksgiving dance.

It is rumored that some of them are as impressive on the dance floor as on the playing field.
