The Nautilus - 1951 by Grays Harbor College

OREW

ORD

It is our hope that whenever the memory of this year at Grays Harbor College begins to dim,

you

will be able to pick up this book, turn the pages, and relive each precious moment.

We have tried to record the memorable events like Homecoming, the Sophomore Cotillion, the Days of 路49, and all the rest. its ups

We've also tried to catch the spirit of each ordinary day with

and downs, its triumphs and disappointments.

Like the time you thought you'd flunked

the test and got it back with a nice, big A, or the. day a whole corner of the lounge became embroiled in a discussion

of politics.

And every other minor event which now comes back to

us as clearly as if it had happened only yesterday.

In this year

Last spring a number of students met and decided there was definite need for a men's group of some kind. They decided to form a men's service club, one which would aid in various neces足 sary areas around the school.

The charter members chose as their name, "Toppers", and as the

official club insignia, a black top hat on a background of crossed canes. The charter members were Don Mason,

Doug Mason, Arnold Jones, Paul O'Leary, Pat

Hopper, Bob Strom, Norm Fenton, Joe Colistro, Don Furu, and Louie Bogdanovich. This year the organization began its activities by inducting a pledge group of sixteen men, and a dinner-dance was given honoring the group. During football season the Toppers took over concessions at the home games and aided in various

other ways the management of the contests.

During basketball season the club acted as

doormen and ushers. As

almost a dozen of the members answered the call to

and are now serving in almost all areas of the world.

It was decided to continue the club

even though many members were in the armed forces. This year's officers are: man, Mr.

secretary; Ted

treasurer; Basil Sandstrom, scribe; Don Weisel, sergeant-at-arms.

DRAMAT

The drama department completed its third year under the direction of Mrs. Grace Gorton Peck with a record number of hits providing entertainment for the entire Harbor area. The opening produc tion, "The Man Who Came To Dinner", a three-act satirical comedy by George Kaufman and Moss Hart, was presented in the Miller Auditorium on November

16 and 18.

The winter offering was of the same high dramatic quality, but somewhat heavier theatrical ' fare. "The Glass Menagerie", a two-act memory play by Tennessee Williams was presented on March

2 nnd

3. Told in the heart-warming, real-life style of Williams, the emotional drama had a warm

IN TROD

UCTION

Grays Harbor College opened the 1950 football season as co-champions of the Junior College League.

Assistant Coach George Palo developed one of the hardest fighting lines in the league.

Captain Darrell Everett,

at a

guard position, was the spearhead of the line with all-conference

honors.

The

backfield was small, but fast. Don Holm, the other all-conference player, formed in great style at

per足

the left-half足

back position.

Pre-season predictions were that Grays Harbor would once again be one of powers of the league.

the

This prediction

didn't hold form as Grays Harbor finish足 ed with a

3-3- I record, but stood fourth

in the final standings.

GAME SUMMARIES: Grays

Harbor 2-------Clark-------13:

The opening game against Clark Junior College was a bad start for the Chokers, with the final score finding the local players on the short end of it. Mosley scored twice for the Penquins

with the

Choker points coming as a result of a safety by Hennessey and Everett.

Although not a first division team, the Choker squad of 1950- '51 provided the fans with m

strong

fine college basketball. Olympic

Opening the season, without a single practice game, against the

Rangers who in the '49-50 season finished eighth in the national competition,

th Chokers played excellent ball only to lose out in the final minutes of play 6o to 52. Next, Coach Dan Melinkovich sent his Chokers against their first intersectional basketball foes,

the 1950 National Junior Champs from Los AngelesCityCollege at the Miller gym.

After

playing the Cubs to a first half tie, the locals failed to keep pace with the sharper shooting alifornians and came out on the short end of a 42 to 36 score. Returning to league play, the Melinkovich men finished out the season with a record of six wins and eleven losses. with 27 against Everett.

Don Ford came up with the best individual scoring performance

Brudvik and Trautman played excellent ball at the guard spots, steal

ing the ball and setting up plays.

Warren, Hillstead, Ford and Robeck covered the. backboards

as well as doing a good job on the scoring department . ing with ·a ·193 and 199 respectively.

Brudvik and Robeck led the team scor

The loss of Arnold Jones and Ron Druet to the U. S. Air

Corps was a bad blow to the Chokers in early season play as both were returning lettermen. Coach Dan Melinkovich should be complimented for his work with the Chokers who were never out-hustled. INDIVIDUAL POINTS Robeck . .
