When we reduce Palomar College to statistics we find some interesting comparisons. For instance, if you are from Vista you are backed by $7,280,310 of assessed valuation of property or 22.7 percent of the total valuation of property in the No_rth~rn San Diego County JC d1stnct. And not only that; you are one of I00 odd students, or 43.4 percent of the enrollment of the sc hool. Now if you come from Escondido you are backed by $18,377,000 property valuation, or 56.5 percent of the total in the district. You will also be one of 90 students, or 38.7 percent of the enrollment. If, by perchance, you come from Fallbrook you have $6.7 60,530 valuation paying the check or 20.8 percent of the total valuation. You will also be one of 40 students or 17.9 percent of the student body of Palomar college. If you happen to be so unfortunate as to come from none of the above mentioned communities, you need not fre! unduly. The st~ tisticians have mcluded you 1n their figures by your present home address. We ask that each of you .be calm and brave in spite of the fact that each of you amounts to less than one-half of one percent of the school. We might add too, that all those who feel slighted by such a rating see Dr. John Blair for comforting.
The second week of the second semester at Palomar College opened this week with a total enrollment of 455 full and part time students. The registration was broken down thus: Academic students ·-·-·---·-.... -. 279 {'-gricultural students .............. 150 Carpentry class students........ 38 Commercial law students........ 18 This is an increase of almost I 00 students over the enrollment -for the beginning of the first secester of the school year. Beside the increased number of academic students, the agricultural class has been increased from 120 to a total of 150 and a new advanced course had been added. The carpentry class has remained about the same since its inception but a new class in commercial law has been developed as part of the adult education program. Instructor George Toil, who also acts as business manager of the college, says most of his students are bankers and business men of the community. Dr. John L. Blair, dean of the college, reported attendance figures of the first semester were very satisfactory. "The college has progressed in fine fashion," said the dean. "We have added new courses that seemed advisable and necessary to fill out the cirriculum." Arthur Kelley of the English Department is presenting two new courses that should prove popular. Creative Writing, the first period, is a course that has received good response and charac!er pre~ent~ tion, the second penod, wh1ch IS a drama department effort to train students for stage appearances. Miss Phyllis Barrett has a new personal typing course . the fourth period and a new didophone course the sixth.
The year 1949 has been ushered in with an appropriate amount of well wishing and hilarity. With it also came a cold spell. A cold spell at Palomar College means more than heavier sweaters and furry jackets, it means +ewer girls will be wearing nylons next Spring and fewer boys will be buying orchids for the big dances later in the year. The connnection between a freeze in the Palomar district and our economic situation is not hard to visualize. An acre of oranges should net a grower about $bOO in a good year. A good year means that quick decline did not hit; that the sizes are averaging out good; that water came at the right time; that the picking crew got in ahead of the big wind storm; that the market was not sagging too badly. With all these conditions solving themselves in order, and they have to more or less solve themselves, we still come to the question of rainfall and cold weather. We had a cold snap during the first part of January that was a doozy. To many of us it was just a cold snap. We buttoned the top button of our coats and stayed in out of the drafty corridors. But it is a different story for the growers and the sons and daughters of growers. There was a cold snap last year too. And there was a cold snap for many the year before that. Very few business concerns, and growing oranges or lemon s or avocados is most certainly a business, can stand three years of heavy losses. We can look ahead to next year and know that we will probably not be going to the same classrooms at Vista High school. We will be installed in cJr own buildings at one of the sites now under consideration. It will not be any plush-lined easy chair to sit in though. Palomar has had its joust with the weather and come off second best. As students have for generations past, we will dig in and help build a bigger and better college weather or no weather.
At the regular monthly meeting of the Governing Board of Pplomar College on January I I at Vista High school, further plans were initiated to move the college to a new site. It was disclosed that developments to date included the purchase of the additional 7 acres adjoining the 124 already owned one mile west of San Marcos. "We are feeling our way carefully," said Chairman Ernest N. Stafford of the Governing Board. The chairman then went on ro explain that water, one of the big difficulties in getting the college going, will be the next problem tackled. The water will have to come from the Vista Water District. Shares of water stock will have to be bought on the open market. An irrigation line will have to be built from the present source some distance away. A reservoir to store the water will have to be planned. In computing the quantity of water necessary for the school an arbitrary attendance figure will have to be set and a portion of the 131 acres be designated as the area to be used. The closest figure obtainable of the amount of water stock to be purchased is a quantity between 12 and 15 acre feet. The original cost of such stock will be in the neighborhood of $6,000. In addition to this expense there will be the cost of pipe line and storage. Following their avowed intention to move the college for the beginning of the 1949-50 year and remaining inside the present 35 mill tax base, the board has yet to decide what buildings it will erect to supplement the 7 buildings now on the Palomar campus. These latter buildings, of war surplus type, could be readily moved to the site. One other plan to broaden the tax base of the school involves the entrance of San Dieguito into the Palomar District. Though the San Diegu1to high school district has not yet expressed its intention of Concluded on Page 5
Tuesday, J anuary 18, the Patrons of Palomar College held ·~heir monthly meeting in Escondido at the Woman's Club. President McNaughton called the meeting to order and gave a brief history of the progress the group had made. In a short two year period the organization had grown from the original eight persons who conceived the idea and saw ·rhe need of such an organization to a present membership of appro ximately 300. The Committee Chairm'an were called upon for their reports. Of particular interest was Mrs. Ray Hanzlik's Ways and Means announcement of the coming "Household and Garden Bazaar" which the Patrons of Palomar are holding Feb. 18 and 19 in Vista. The merchandise sold will be donated and the proceeds will go toward a fund for furnishing a Student Lounge on the new campus and to the establishing of a Student Loan Fund. Mrs. Kettering Allen sung a group of three songs accompanied by Mr. William Vogel. Mrs. George McDonald gave a talk on "Historic Landmarks of San Diego County, colored slides emphasized her points charmingly. Tea was served by the Escondido Patrons. Mrs. Ernest Stafford and Mrs. J. D. Adl<ins poured. Mrs. Eleanor Moresco w.as program chairman. On January 20 Mr. Kelley and some of the cast members of the "Ten Little Indians" attended the Oceanside-Carlsbad J. C. production "Cuckoos on the Hearth" which turned out to be a very entertaining mystery comedy. All of the scenes took place in the living room of the home of the Donald Carltons of Portland, Maine. The plot involved three foreign agents, an eccentric a u t h o r 'Zadoc Grimes' played by Ernie Woods, and an escaped strangler from the local academy, all snowbound in the Carltons home and stranded because all phone lines are down. After some fast action and the right amount of suspense the play reaches a happy ending. Outstanding performances were given by Ernie Woods, Ziza Butts who played the childish maid, and Cliff Clay who doubled as the strangler in the guise of the constable Sheriff Preble and managed to fool everyone very nicely.
NEW STAFF With the beginning of the sec-
~nd semester at Palomar College
the name of a new editor flies from the masthead of the Talescope. We, of t~e staff c?ngratulate Louis Schneider on h1s elevation to the post. We are also sorry to see Jerry Mattson leave the ranks of the Journalism class. The Telescope will continue to cover the field of college activities as in the past. We hasten to add that putting out a college paper involves considerable work. Any and all contributions from Students or faculty are welcomed. Palomar college deserves the support of its students and the college paper looks to its readers for news.
COLLEGE HEARS VOGEL RECITAL The first event highlighting the opening of the spring semester was a piano recital given by M_r. William Vogel, head of the mus1c department. The program had previously been scheduled for January 14 but due to a conflict in obtaining the Auditorium at that time the date has been set ahead to Wednesday, February 9, at eight-thirty o'clock. Vogel presented compositions from seven renowned composers: Scarlatti, Bach, Chopin , MacDowell, Creighton, Allen and ~ecuo_na, representing the pre-class1c penod extending through the modern. Those who remember the pressentation of "Desert Fantasy" two years ago, a descriptive composition written by Mr. Vogel, were pleased to find that the first movement of the Suite was included in the program,
PALOMAR MIRROR IN PRODUCTION At last the wheels of progress are beginning to turn at Palomar. In one of the latest · sessions of our student council, Ray Gootgeld was appointed editor of "The Mirror," our annual-to-be. Despite the late start given him by the A.S.B. Council, ~ay and his assistant, Dean Franc1s, hope to get a staff organized in the near future and assemble the "Mirror" in the two months they have left to get the "dummy" to the printers. Present plans call for a pictorial, eighty-page, padded leather covered annual. The annual will cost three dollars to student body card holders and seven dollars to all others. Ray also informs us that volunteers are needed for the staff. If you are interested see Ray Gootgeld, Ray Kerby, or Dean Francis. This annual will be another first for Palomar. In the three years of Palomar's existence there have been neither the funds nor the inclination to publish an annual. This year we hope to become a full-fledged college in all respects. This can only be achieved through the full co-operation of· all the students; so let's support the annual in all ways possible, in subscription drives and in the actual work of putting it together.
A Miss Is As Good As A Mile Mrs. Rodney Smith js being philosophical abou~ it all, but sh~ narowly missed bemg the beneficiary to a $10,000 insurance policy last week. It seems that instructor Rodney Smith and the family were in San Diego shopping. Smith was to meet his wife at the milliner's at 4:45 p.m. exactly. "At exactly 4:40," said the teacher, "I was walking briskly down the sun-lit street, ruminating on my por choice of pipe tobacco, when a very large and solid object crashed to the pavement not three feet away." It just happens that at exactly. 4:40 there 'ftas an earthquake and the corner coping of one of the buildings had loosened and fallen. Had Smith been leaning against the building at the time ' it is quite likely the philosophy class would have been looking for a new teacher. "Call it what you will," said Smith, "The fickle finger of Fate, the dangling diget of Destiny; I am here and that test we had planned will go on as announced."
WELCOME NEW SPELLBINDERS For this semester, we of the Spellbinder's would like to extend our welcome to old and new students alike. Also we should like to emphasize that any student is more than welcome to become part qf our club, or to merely visit any of the meetings. We are very informal, there is nothing staid or dry in our programs. The usual program consists of two main speakers who deliver short talks, not longer than ten minutes each. Members are appointed as critics and at the end of the speeches, they offer points that might better the form or delivery of the speech. The "table topics" are next on the program, and usually the highlight of it. These short, one minute talks cause many a laugh, and some+i,~es really "bring down the house. Again I would like to invite everyone to attend the next meeting of the Spellbinder's. If nothing else, I am sure you will get a good laugh at some of the table topics. Bob Clarno President.
MUSICIANS ATTENTION! Of particular interest to the would-be musicians of Palomar is the appointment of Lloyd Von Haden to the staff of Palomar College. This step in improving the education facilities at the college will be regarded by some as a great step toward the efficient system of education for anyone wishing to learn a new instrument or to broaden ones knowledge on an instrument already played. Von Haden is very well qualified ioo instruct here as he is a graduate of Eastman School of Music and holds a Masters degree. Von Haden is capable of giving lessons on any beginning instrument and advanced instruction on any stringed instrument. For anyone interested in taking lessons on any "horn" either see Mr. Vogel or inquire at the office.

Wll4t's Been H(Jppening? A P/(Jy IJy P/(Jy Account 15TH WEEK OF SCHOOL
A white Christmas holiday was the big attraction for many of Palomar College students in the two week vacation just passed. Karen Jones was the big casualty and the only one as far as we can find. She and Bob Towle and Dick Smith were scooting down one hill on their homemade &led when a tree jumped right up in their faces. Among others who made Palomar Mountain their favorite spot were Betty Johnson, Ray Farris, Helene Ruppel, Howard Weaver, Dotibeth Huggans, Gene Finch, Dean Francis, Lois Cooper, Corinne Barclay, Betty Philips, and Jack Cooper. Nancy Maginnis and her Ross Cope visited at Pauma Valley in the vicinity of Palomar too. Andy Wikholm and Don Sheffer stayed at the Wikholm cabin at Big Bear Lake for a time and also took in the Rose Parade. Charles Copeland and wife Barbara spent three days at Cedar Pines Park in the San Bernardino mountains and Tom Canady was at Crestline not far away. Many of the guys and gals just stayed home with their family and friends. Bob Harris and wife Glora took in the parade but had most of their enjoyment staying home with their six months old youngsters and visiting with friends. And Santa Claus was good to ml!lst of the students too. Lora Lee Todd got a new record player and Kay Meredith a sewing machine. There were lots of new clothes in evidence. Norma Osman had a new purse and gloves as did Betty Johnson. Marylin Cook got the fur coat she's been writing Santa about. Sue Inouye had a Christmas present in a visit from her mother all the way from New York. Anita Ronay had a new job with a Vista attorney before school hours. And Jim Marshall grew a new mustache. All the pea-greenies started wearing their green beanies during this week with penalties (?) for non-wearers. Some of the light-hearted chores suggested: Sweeping the gym floor with a tooth brush or plucking three hairs from the head of Instructor Rodney Smith. 16TH WEEK OF SCHOOL
..
One of the great mysteries and disappointing features of school life to many students in the consistency with which school busses arrive at the appointed hour to take them to school. Jim Marshall, who drives the Escondido run of the Palomar bus system and garages his steed in Valley Center where the last of the students get off, almost broke his traditional r~gularity Monday. The bus was mired in five inches of snow and had to be dragged out. Jim was a bit late but he did get to school. George Tohl, business manager for Palomar College, is making doubly sure that another snow will not again interrupt the schedule. He is buying snow chains for all the three busses. Some of the snowbound casualties in this 16th week of school were Nancy Maginnis who had to ride the snow plow down from her Valley Center hilltop to get groceries for the family, Maurine Smauck, who was (Continued on Column 4)

As one of our former students her marriage to Kenny McDaniels is interesting to all of us here at Palomar. They were married at Yuma, Arizona, on December 30. Elva is a graduate of Vista High and met Kenny through her brathere, Danny Bice, who is married to Kenny's sister, Mrs. Gene McDaniels Bice. We students of Palomar College want to wi~h both "Tootie" and husband happiness and success.

THE TELESCOPE
· FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1949
W1Jt1t's Been H(/ppening? I ~TH WEEK OF SCHOpL There was many a furrow~d brow arQul'\d the PE~!omE~r Cqri(pus by the end of the 18th week. The examinations were all over but the grades were not out yet. Some students were confident, some were worried. There were those who said they did not care. It was indeed a dull soul who co.uld sit in a cl~:~ssroom for 18 weeks of lectures and work and not be interested in his standing. Grades would be out the first week of the new semester but the failing students got notice in time to alter their schedules. With the opening of the new semester plans for the school annual were speeded up. Ray Gootgeld as editor, Dean Francis as assistant, Bob Harris to take pictures, Louis Schneider to get the ads, and Bennie Wade plus others were being contacted for help. The annual would not be out until May, but it was a big project. The guys and gals around school could be counted on to make news too. Walter Towne was headed Los Angeles way recently all dressed in a tuxedo for a big party. Marlin Cook had gone and done it again. She had gotten a short cut and was doing it up with the ends curled under. It was a tricky and becoming coiffure but Marylin says it is a lot of trouble. Cora Lee Clagg complained about time spent on a short cut too. "Those curlers every night are no joke," said Cora. And then there was Marjorie , Ting who had a new chubby of Alaskan Mouton that kept her toasty warm these cold nights. And there was no ring on the second finger of Marjorie's left hand these days either.
19TH WEEK OF SCHOOL It was the "C " average blues that permeated the halls of Palomar college Wednesday evening as the grades were given out on little blue slips of paper. The ones who got the higher marks went serenely on their way toward earning more of same. It was the lower marks that drew the howls of anguish. By the first of next week, last semester would be forgotten and a fresh resolve to do better work would take its place. There were a lot of new students coming to school this week. Pat Carter, a 1948 EU HS graduate, is back from her try at Sawyer's Business school in Los Angeles. "I think I can get more out of school right here at home," said Pat, who would add something to the appearance of the campus in her own right. Myron Kiah was another Escondido boy "hitting" the books again after a layoff. Travis Bagawer was a new student from San Marcos. ' . Some of the old students (sophomores, we mean) took advantage of the lull between semesters to do some mountaineering at ldylwild. Josie and Mary Rubio and Norma Johnson all went for the day with Hazel McCauley. The fair-haired teacher as far as enrollment this semester is instructor Rodney Smith. His sixty-odd student class in psychology had to be moved to the cafeteria for seating accommodations. Smith's philosophy course also took a jump in attendance from around 20 students to almost 40. Without even waiting for spring, romance broke out all over the campus early in the week. Tom Canady and Cora Lee Clagg were married at Pacific Beach, Saturday, February 5. Stan Cook was best man at the ceremony. Tom would continue with school. but Cora Lee was planning to keep house. 20TH WEEK OF SCHOOL Student body president Ray Kerby wasn't on hand for the opening of the new semester. There were rumors that Ray intended to quit Palomar and transwer to Southwestern Law school, but no confirmation had come through yet. The reason the prexy didn't show up the first week really turned out to be a breakdown in the rear end of his new Ford. Ray stayed around Los Angeles to get it fixed. Dr. Dan C. McNaughton was back this week after a few days in bed with the flu. We have seen a lot of new faces around the campus lately. Some of them are very pretty too. And then, too, we miss seeing some of the old faces. 'Leo Holland said his "good-byes" last Friday. Leo is going to travel back to Arkansas for the rest of the winter. He plans to work in a hospital there preparatory to resuming his medical career. Among those new faces was Virginia Showers who went to Palomar last year and spent the first part of this year with her parents in Idaho. Bill Bower was another recently registered student. Bill comes all the way from the corn belt of Des Moines, Iowa. Albert Meierhoffer is still another ex-GI on the rolls this sem'ester. Last Sunday Dorothy McDonald and Norman Kettering were two of a large gathering to celebrate the coming marriage of Normar\'s sister. Dorothy, who is secretary of the new rifle club at Palomar, says they have done little lately but choose a name. Hereafter you will mention club members as "The Shooting Stars." President Ed Pollock has been scurrying around trying to get a rifle range and some guns. We were having our usual portion of hash in the cafeteria recently when Berle Dee Sturgess sat down opposite us and pulled a fried chicken leg out of her lunch box. We definitely have had the home-cooking blues ever since.
Luky, Our Man
Frosh Week?
While strolling blissfully about the camp~o~s one day I noticed an energetic young fellow busily sweeping the office steps. I, being an inquiring reporter, asked him his name, what his job consists of and his opinion of the college? His answers were: Luky, janitor and swell. Which merely shows that we have a congenial fellow for janitor and I might add, a very efficient gentleman. I found that his name is Luther Burt, he lives in Escondido, he approves heartily of the college. He says that he wishes he could return to school, it certainly is a benefit.
Frosh week has come and gone and yet there is this to say about it. It is unfair, undemocratic, uncivilized and besides it won't be any fun for us until next year when we are "Sophs".
Luky, as everyone calls him, is a nice guy, so, let's all think about him now and kinda appreciate the splendid work he does.
All of which brings up the discussion of the word "Sophomore." Now of course we all know it means "wise fools." All I can add to that is, "the Greeks had a word for them and so do we Frosh, in fact I'll say we have several!" (Words that is, not Greeks.) But the over-bearing, arrogant, altitude, (attitude, darn it I never could spell), is not to be tolerated, at least not any more this year. Although next year's frosh had better beware!
Our College • What Is It? . A_~oi!ege is a livil'lf;l thing. 11- is a symbol of prqgre.~s Cln.d qf fraedom. It grows or it dies. It reflects the thinking of the individuals within it and the thinking of a nation and of a world. It is no greater than the students within it, for nothing can be any greater than that which it bestows its greatness upon. Without an ear, sound is wasted. Without receptive students the finest teachers are only cogs in a machine which is a failure because it has produced nothing. Here is a young college and to all of us is handed -~he responsibility of looking toward the future and making it great. We have many things which on the surface would appear to be handicaps. For one thing we are poorly housed and in a few cases we are badly equipped. But even now such things are not insurmountable. Knowledge and learning require not finery of quarters nor do they require the best and most complete equipment. Most of us were not endowed with a great capacity fer learning, however this does not lessen the fact that we can be great students. Our teaching staff has been well chosen, without us they can do nothing. We are the unknown quantity and we must produce or we have nothing. There can be no greater challenge than to build from nothing. It is one thing to accept that which someone else has created, yet quite another to create something for yourself. The greatest universities in the world today are great only because of what they have produced and are producing. Let them not produce for a few years and their greatness is gone. Ironically though it is, we perhaps can see this better if we would look at football. A coach can be no better than the teams that he produces. And the teams can be no better than the individuals which play on them. Each is a unit that depends upon the other. Let a team be successful for a few seasons and the world will worship at its feet but let it be unsuccessful for a few seasons and it's forgotten. Results show up quickly in football and there are no excuses. If we were to build a college with such a reputation that future students might bask or coast in any glory that we might have built, then I would say that any exertions we might make would be for nothing. But if we build in such a fashion that future students could start at a higher degree of thinking with no smugness as to the past and onl)l a deep-felt responsibility to uphold that past, then I would say that we had built wisely. How wisely we build today will be a well known fact ·}omorrow. It is our responsibility to create an institution not on which we may look back with pride but one which posterity may well point with pride. Let us all do our job. Let it never be said that we did not exert the utmost of our ability toward the fulfillment of that which we wish to achieve. Bill Blacklidge
The Facts of Life Now that the sound and fury of eamination week is over we might have a look at some of the results. Why did I get a "C" and why did Joe Blow get an "A"? Now, Joe is my pal and no one would rather see Joe get an "A" than I. Joe and I have buddied around together for many a long month. We seem to think along the same lines; even go for the same girls. We like the same movies and the same dance bands. We even wear each oi-her's neckties. Then why is it that in Horticulture 6B Joe should get an "A" and I get a "C". Well, there seems to be an explanation and it's all in the "Curve" boys; it's all in the curve. And there is no relation between this curse and the one you are thinking, lads. This horrible device was revealed to me in a book on education. It seems this curve is a handy method worked out by some longh"aired educators to justify the large number of "C's" handed out. There are 7 percent of you who will be "A" students. Now it has been the experience of many years and many teachers ihat there cannot be 8 percent "A" students or 6 percent. No, it is 7 percent "A" and no more. From there on down: 13 percent will be " B", 60 percent will get gentlemanly "C's", another 13 percent will walk the chalk line with a "D", and still another 7 percent will be out and out failure. And to prove this is no hairbrained idea, the same curve applies to oranges in a packing house or apples in a barrel and even to women too. This, then, is the lordly curve so highly regarded by the pedagogues. It accounts for those nimble witted souls who can sit in the back of the room and pare their nails and come out with an "A" average. It also accounts for those eager beavers in the front row who sit with rapt attention through a whole semester ar1d still can't write a test. It will all be blamed on the curve and there us nothing to be gained by screaming your head off either. Now, there are some teachers who do not use the "Curve". There are some who use the percentage system. This is just another dodge wher~by I get 76 percent and Joe gets 96 percent. Translated into grades, this means that Joe gets his "A" and I get my "C". It's as easy as that. Now, we might as well get back to the question. Just how does a teacher arrive at the magic figure of "A" for Joe and "C" for me? It seems that most of them weasle around squeezing and jamming and fitting each student into a pattern of placement. Some will tell that the best student in the class gets an "A" and from that point on it is merely a scaling down to the poorest. Then, there are those teachers who say that no student can be perfect and should not be expected to bat I00 percent. The guy who bats closest to that figure will get the "A". Then, there are those kindly souls who take into account the guy who has only a mediocre amount of brain matter but who has a habit of trying harder than all the rest. This guy is usually rewarded for his efforts. The smarty-pants who tries only once in a while and comes up with a brilliant piece of work usually gets in the "B" bracket along with those who are a little better than average. Then, there is another type of _s:udent who is really no ball of fire at all, but who has an uncanny abrlrty to know what the teacher wants. This guy will likely get an "A" one semester and a "C" the next. Now, we haven't read all that Mr. Terman has found out in his investigation of intelligence. We don't know whether we are even on the right track. We have taken a long, hard look at Joe's "A" and have decided that Joe is just smarter than we are. We have accepted the fact with grace and switched our pitying gaze to the guy just back of us who got a "D".

· Palomar has played over thirty games during the thr.e e month's se(lson and has won one-third of them. This record is interesting in that probably as much time was spent playing games as was spent in practicing as a team for these games. The boys still have had no floor that they tould hold regularly scheduled practice upon, therefore have not been able to develop the potential material of the team. It looks as if Palomar will fall somewhere in the middle of the conference rating when the last game is played. Palo Verde of Blythe will undoubtedly be on top with El Centro or Antelope Valley in second place. The other three teams are in a three-way tie with three more weeks to play. Palomar should do better these last few games with the addition of some more fellows to the team this second semester. An interesting game at home should ' be the El Centro game on Saturday, , Fe bruary 19, at Vista. As a preliminary to this game the final interclass championship will be played between the sophomores and freshmen of Palomar. Th e remaining games on our basketball schedule will be found in this issue and I am sure everyone who comes out will enjoy watching the team perform. We who have foll owed them all season thrill at the effort and the class that the team exhibits. Th e next sport on the calendar is baseball. The schedule for the conference will be found in this issue. Practice games with Riverside, Orange Coast, Pendleton, and others are in the process of bing schedul~d . Pra ctice will be held at the Vista Recreation park and home games wdl be played there or on the Escondido ball park . Practice will be held from 12:30 to 3:00 each day. Indications are that over twenty fellows will be out for the team. M~ny of these men played on last year's team but will be hard pressed th1 s year by newcomers. There will undoubtedly be considerable enthusiasm for basball this year, partially because it was the most successful sport we participated in last year, the one in which we won most of our games. After baseball, or actually right along with baseball, will be track. The orphan of our four major sports will be given more attention this season. We have some boys from last year's nucleus squad, and with the other. outstanding track men in school this year we will try to get three men 1n every one of the 15 events. This means that some men will double up on some events. Co~petiti on during the season will consist of dual and triangular meets w1th conference and non-conference teams. Individual men will be entered in the Glendale and Antelope Valley Relays. The highlight for the season will be the South Central Conference meet at Palomar on May 21. · .A schedule is being worked on now for tennis. Golf is also being cons1dered for conference competition. A tennis ladder has been started for those fellows who are interested in making the team. Intramural competition in these and ping pong, badminton and handball should be keen this second semester.
The "Outstanding Athlete" blanket is being displayed in various public places around the towns in the Palomar district. It has recently been on display in Coachella where the two outstanding football players whose names appear on the blanket went to high school. The trophy is uniqu~ in that instead of being a cup it is in the form of e full sized blanket in the school colors of scarlet with gray him . It lends itself to display purposes better than the cup idea because the names can be easily seen and can be adapted more to the conditions under which it can be displayed . Across the middle of the blanket in 3-inch lettering are the words "Palomar Outstanding Player Award." In each of the four corners the name of one of the major sports appears. Under each of these in smaller letters the name of the boy and the year he was outstanding appears. At the end of each seasonal sport the boys lettering in that sport vote and decide whose name should be placed on the blanket ·for 'fhat sport. They take into consideration such qualities as individual athletic ability, sportsmanship, cooperation, and ability to generate team spirit. In short each fellow votes for the man he would like ro have on his team. Next season the outstanding athlete in the same sport will be added below the ones for the previous years. The blanket will include the winners in all sports for the next ten years. The value of the award will be increased with each name that is added. A quarter size replica of the large blanket will be presented ·ro ·rhe individual who is so fortunate as to have his name put on the large blanket. The Escondido Kiwanis Club was enthusiastic about the blanket and they were glad to sponsor the award under their youth promotion program. Individual members of the Kiwanis Club will spon sor the names on the blanket, and in turn the blanket will appear in their places of business for display for a short time . Watch for it in Vista and Fallbrook at well as Escondido.

Palomar of The Future (Continued from Page I) coming into the Palomar district, it is hoped it will do so in the near future. All qualifications for such entrance have been met by San Dieguito. While it is too early to say that Palomar College will .open its doors at the San Marcos site next September, it is almost a certainty that it will not be housed at the Vista high school. . One quite recent development 1n the hunt for a new site for next year, is a consideration of use of the Silk Mill located one mile east of San Marcos.

CAMPUS CLUBS AT PALOMAR Tho~ qf yqu whp would. li ke tp · see more student activities will be interested in the new student clubs being organized on the campus. There are at leqst s~ven clubs a lret~dy organized or organizing. INTERNATIO AL CLUB The International Cl ub was very active last year and is orga nizing again this semester for students who are interested in other cou ntries. At their last meeting Bill Montgomery told abou t his e xperiences in the Phillipines and in a Ja panese prison camp during the war. Mr. Heyne, sponsor of the club, told about his trip to Europe thi s summer at a previous meeting. The club meets every other W ednesday during activity period in Mr. Heyne's bungalow. SPELLBINDERS At their regular meetings twice a month they have fun with impromptu speeches on table topics which are passed around . The club has been very active in the past. This year they took over the concession booth at the Fallbrook game and they plan to sponsor several student activities during the year. DRAMATICS CLUB Besides sponsoring the Spellbinders club, Mr. Kelley may also organize a dramatics club. It ~ s still in th e planning stage but 1f the club is started it will probably work on some experimental plays of its own and perhaps help with other college plays. CHESS CLUB One of the most successful clubs last year was the Chess club spo~ sored by Mr. Smith. All the officers and many of the members graduated last year. The club is being started again, however, and all enthusiastic pon pushers are urged to join. They have 10 to 15 chess sets which can be checked

The $ph_ere-swatters c.gn b,e ~e.en working aut mqst any time in the Ping Pong asylu m in back of the gym, however action is hottest and the competition keenest on Tuesdays and .Thursdays. Anyone interested in learning the fine art of delive ring a serve so hot it scorches the paint off the ta ble just come in and watch. Clint "Cannonball" Smith at work. Basilio Martinez is the man who can wear his opponent down by just being methodical. For cold calculating science Dave Wnite and George Havens will freeze the best out. The brand of basketball being played in the gym classes now is out of this world, in fact it might be better for all concerned if it were. At a glance it appears to be basketball, but on closer observation it looks like so many wrestlers on a rampage at a destruction derby. It see ms in some cases that the fo otba ll game can't be taken out of the football player. However, the games don't always resemble Dogpatch vs. Skunk Hollow, face is saved by the skill of a few of the players, such as Mickey Robinson's bobbin' and weavin', Jim Marshall's flashy footwork, and Bennie "the shortest distance between two points is a straight line and to heck with the in-between" W ade.

A-Riding We Shall Go One nig ht if you should emerge into the frosty fog and eventually find your way to a little mist covered bus yo u might be apt to hear such exclamations as " Please turn on the heaters! " and "Where could Art be? " As the bus makes its way homeward to its destination, Encin itas , the limited crew begin their versio ns of "Hand Me Down" in a re-bop manner. The instigator of which is a certain party by the name of Lawrence Wei r. Jack, his brother, is more or less our ma scot since he hibernates like a little bear until the bus rolls up to his little adobe ha cie nd a. We also have a trio as it might be classified composed of th~ three strongest voices. These voices belong to none othe r than Laurance, Art and Da le. The misses on the bus have other interests such as t he goings on of the so called National Guard but maybe Beryl Dee Sturges and Jeanette Fisher could tell you more about this. A certain C .Y. O.'s affairs mu st be so mething that Sue Inouye and Doris Montgomery seem to always have something brewing there. Cherie Bourgeious has become a fond admirer of motorcycles, to say nothing of what drives them. If one should hear a desperate cry when we are crossing one of our bumpy spots it would pro.bably be Anne J ohnson frantically trying to knit but· definitely not making much progress. When all are delivered safely to their homes, Art and our little bus bid us farewell until we meet them again the next afternoon. I rather thank that both Art and the bus enjoy the last stop most of all.

COLLEGE BABY
Semester's First Paper Your indulgence is asked for this issue of The Telescope. It's almost like starting all over again th is semester-a partly new Journalism class, a new editor and a long time elapsed since the last issue with much to be accounted for to preserve any continuity. The Telescopes shou ld improve from now on, as we hope yo1,1 found they did la st semester.

School's Youngest Student Claudine Dhika, the youngest yo ung lady in our glorious institution, is quite an interesting person . In a recent interview with said young lady I found that she was born in France and came to this counrty with her parents when she was only seven. Sta rting school at that time in the third grade she progressed in this Catholic institution until the fifth grade whereupon she skipped the sixth grade and went to a· private sc hoo l called Marlborough through the seve nth and eighth grades. After finishing the first three years of high school at Fallbrook H. S. she decided that she would take on added responsibility by attending both high sc hoo l and co llege, or in othe r words she is now fini shing up her senior year of high school and freshman year of college. (Ed. Note-Remarkable, isn't it?) "When she finishes college," Cla udine says, "I plan to go into socia l science work, it's so very interestin g." As hobbies Claudine collects napkins, cocktail, restaurant or any kind that happen to come into her gra sp. She a lso likes to dance and
