Music Department's "Hiawatha" Well Liked VISTA (Special) "Listen to this legend, this tale of Hiawatha." So came the clear, resonant tones of Narrator Eleanor Skinner to open the musical program of the Palomar College music department in the Vista high school April 22. Mrs. Skinner set the mood for the singing group seated on the stage.

There were 21 vocalists in all, with the girls in formal gowns of blues, pinks, greens and shimmering whites. They made a sharp contrast with the somber suits of the male voices of the chorus.

Mrs. Skinner read from one part of the legendary Longfellow poem that was put to music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and the chorus gave parts of "The Wedding Feast" which signaled the return of Hiawatha with his bride, Minnehaha from the land of the Dakotas.

The well-rounded tenor voice of Travis Bagwell gave the sparce audience an added thrill with his rendition of "Onaway, Awake, Beloved" as the solo number of the evening.

The gifted pianist, Shirley Olson, accompanied the singers.

William Vogel, head of the music department, directed and trained the chorus in this program, which is the last to be given by the department this school year.

The eager tones of the music as it told the story of the great feast and of comradeship and love was a compliment to the group's efforts.

Wescott, played by J. D. Williams, is also an artist. He designed on canvas in water colors the set.

Thanks.

To the lilting strains of Lorraine Lorraine and a couple of other Rex Phalen compositions, the happy throng of fun lovers dances the evening away. The night, April 23, it was later discovered was rather unfortunately chosen because of the Kiwanis Karnival and so forth, but nevertheless those that came had a wonderful time. The tunes Lorraine Lorraine and Boom-pa-dol were recorded and given away as a door prize. The lucky recipients were none other than the charming couple Anita Ronay and Stan Maag.

Celebrating their birthdays on this joyous evening were pretty Marilyn Smith, Ray Lee Ferris, and Dean Blair.

There weren't a great many people there, although they seemed quite efficient in removing the balloons that were so cleverly used in decorating the hall. It was discovered by your nosey news hound that Miss Jonesy assisted by Louis S. worked feverishly to accomplish the decorating task, as they only had the afternoon to do so.

(Jonesy had a birthday dinner to prepare for her father.)

All in all the party was quite a success and the main comment of the evening was, and I quote "My what lovely decorations."

The usual stags were almost absent that evening, for some unknown reason, but I, on the part of the staff who disorganized this affair, should like to express our appreciation to Mike ~- who was in charge of the refreshments.

RESIGNED PREXY GETS BETTER JOB Dr. Dan C. McNaughton, who only submitted his resignation as president of Palomar College to the Governing Board on April 13, was notified April 26 of his election to the post of director of Santa Ana JC of Santa Ana, California.

McNaughton's resignation, effective June 30, was accepted by the board and a three-month vacation with lay was granted. The educator wil take up his duties at Santa Ana August I. Dr. McNaughton, who has been chief administrator at Palomar for the first three years of its stormy life, will hold a comparable position in the orange belt school plus a position as assistant superintendent of city schools. Santa Ana JC is a part of the city school system of Santa Ana and is one of the oldest 2-year colleges in the State. The enrollment of the school is over I000 students.

Dr. McNaughton's election was for a 4-year term with a salary described only as "a considerable improvement." The temporary director of Santa Ana JC, H. 0.

Russell, will return to his post as head of the physics department.

Said Dr. McNaughton of the appointment, "While I regret having to leave my friends in the Palomar District, this new position presents a great challenge to me as teacher."

Marjorie Ting has a little black dog she brings to rehearsal. Both are excellent in their respective parts but personally "we" like Tingles! By the by-which one of those dresses is your "business" suit?

The convicts have been type cast because of their crew cuts.

CLUBS & SOCIALS REPORTERS SPORTS FACULTY ADVISER

EdittJrial SELF ANALYSIS " I ain't mad at no one .. but!"

In the interests of a little self analysis let us stand up and be counted. How many of us can claim we have put in an extra hour of the week at some beneficial work for the college? How many of us can claim that we, without an selfis h motive, have gone out of our regular routine of studying and eating and sleeping to make this a better place for our fellow students?

How many of us have even thought enough about the problem to ioin a club? Now clubs were never ·meant to be organizations that meet once a week or once every other week to discuss some innoccuous subiect. They are formed with a purpose in mind. The campus clubs should be the most active force in the school. So far we have not seen much evidence of such activity. It is true, the Spellbinders took over the concession stand at one of the football games thereby piling up a neat little stack of clams, that now rests securely in Stan Cook's strong box. They

also sponsored the speech contest that sent Gilbert Gillogly to orate in Los Angeles, April 23. For these outstanding achievements we give a resounding rah-rah-boom-de-ay!

But here the progress in clubs see ms to have stopped with a noiso me silence.

The Drama club has been prodded, poked and egged along by Art Kelly and deserves little credit on its own hook. The International club has been held together only by the persistence of Adolf Heyne.

The chess club has met infrequently to ponder its weighty problems under the gentle urging of Rod Smith.

It is time, perhaps, we shuck off some of the iuvenile trapping s of the high school days and take a firm grip on our respective shirt collars. We need something more than clubs at Palomar that wait for the teachers to make all the plans and dole out the assignments.

When we got that diploma from high school there was an implied responsibility with it which said, "Now let's see what you can do."

TELESCOPE CORRESPONDENTS OPEN LETTER TO THE "TELESCOPE" EDITOR:

•

An article appeared in the April 14 issue of the TELESCOPE, entitled "Music Concert or Vogel's Folly." This article stated that it was a "constructive criticism by one qualified to make such statements." It was, however, actually ius+ a personal venting of spleen by one whose qualifications along music lines could be questioned.

It was entirely the opinion of the individual and not, I point out, the consensus of the audience present at the concert.

Mr. Vogel has accomplished exemplary work with the few music students from which he had to choose. One must not lose sight of the fact that in a rural community such as ours, that the choice and selection of talented individuals is very limited. Any effort at all which is put forth in the interest of better things in life, should not go unrewarded regardless of the final outcome of that effort.

Let me point out the fact that track and football practice starts at the beginning of the season, with many athletes to choose from, but in the final showing, they do not always come up as winners.

Why place the blame on one who is trying to produce a "winner" in one department of scholastic work and overlook the same shortcom-

Tobin's Hatchery

ing results in another department?

It this being fair?

It might be well to bear these facts in mind before again offering so-called "constructive criticism" in such an uncalled for manner.

Let us hope that fairness shal l prevail in any future article whi~h may appear in our esteemed TELESCOPE. In conclusion I, too, am proud to sign my name to an article which will, I hope, offset the preiudiced rantings of the would-be music critic, Louis Schneider.

Ardis Marilyn Miles.

In regard to the article written on the music concert of April I, I for one am not mad, disgusted, or angry, but hurt not for myself alone but for all participants and

Public schools week at Palomar College was being observed with a "business as usual" air. Vista high school was making a big splash with booths and programs but the college held its "open house" in November and would take no further part in the activities.

And while we are on the subiect of school administration we note that Carey W . Stevenson, who thought he had only a badly twisted leg last week has had an X-ray and found it was fractured in the fall he took off the top of the barn he was building. Steve had been walking with a cane for several days before the pain cautioned him to seek out an X-ray machine.

Travis Bagwell, who combines singing in his sweet tenor voice along with being a miler on the track team is back in school again after being out several days with a fever. The flu bug seems to be running indescriminately around and laid its cla mmy hand s on two of Palomar's pitchers iu st before the OCJC baseball game a week ago. Tom Canady and Clinton Smith were both running temperatures of I00 degrees when the game started. This week Bill St. Clair was still rocky from a bout with the bug. Bill is the new ianitor at the college, having replaced Luther Burt, when "Luke" ·took a iob at the Escondido lemon house.

"Luke's" place was hard to fill.

Hi s friendly ways and accommodating attitude made him a popular figure around the campus.

The girls made a colorfu l display one day last week when a dozen of them came to sc hool wearing their brightly flowered prints. The dresses, sarong-type affairs, had all sorts of variations.

Later in the week there were more of the .dressy cotton skirts and Continued on page 4 the music director.

The members of the Glee Club and the Wind Ensemble have traveled together to many towns and had a lot of fun and laughs. We did not put on this concert to prove we were or were not musicians. We put it on because we enioy participating as a working organization, and because we enioy working together which is certainly a step in the right direction of making a college and college activities a success. Palomar needs this type of thing and I'm all for it.

I go to colleg~ to learn. I take music courses to strive to be the best musician possible. I'm not sure how the editor feels about his college or his college work but I know he takes no music courses in college and if he has gotten to be a musician without them all I can say is "more power to him!"

What~ ·

Been Happening?

Ea ster vacation was play and party time for Palomar College students. The balmy weather had them out on the beaches in droves.

They wandered up and down the Oceanside sands with all the eager bouyancy of groups of first graders on their way out to recess. The parties went all the way from informal sing -songs at Betty Johnson 's home to the very toney barbecue planned by Jerry Mattson for Saturday night. Norma Johnson tripped up to visit with her brother at Perris and Hazel McCauley drove up to spend a couple of days wirh her. An'd Dotibeth Huggin s was hostess to half a dozen other students too.

It wasn't all playtime for many a student though . Arthur Kelly, drama coach got hi s new cast together a couple of days to _rehearse their lines in "The Man Who Came to Dinner." Better sta rt getting your dates for May 6 and 7. Ray Gootgeld was staring at an April 16 deadline for the sc hoo l yearbook, The Mirror, and had hi s staff really banking on the turns to get the work in. Among Gootgeld's assistants were Ethel Williams, Mariorie Ting, Don Scheffer, Don Kennedy, Dean Francis, Gene Huchting and Louie Schneider. The students were well assisted in their efforts by faculty members Gene Stevens and Godfrey Mortimer. Photographer Bob Harris had been down sick and had to turn his picture taking over to Scheaffer and Schneider.

And then Schneider with Journalism instructor C. W. Stevenson spent a couple of days in setting up the next issue of the Telescope at an Oceanside print shop.

AI Meierhoffer ha•d a decision to make over the holiday too. An old employer, the United States Marine Corps, wanted AI to come back into the service in his old grade of technical sergeant.

And then there· was Jim Hodges who wasn't doing much of any active participating this week. Jim broke his right hand playing base-· ball iust before vacation and wore a very becoming cast that extended up to the elbow.

PALOMAR EDGES OUT FALLBROOK BY 5-4 The Palomar College baseball team nosed OI.Jt a strong Fallbrook town team at . Fallbrook April 24 by a score of 5-4. Just to prove that playing to a home town crowd has its advantages, it was a couple of Fallbrookers playing for Palomar who turned the heat on the town boys. Pitcher Bernie Pelsma, who has been chucking with only average success so far this season turned in a bang-up pitching job. He allowed only nine scattered hits and found his control when the chips were down.

Second baseman Bob Clarno, who also hails from Fallbrook area, had a perfect day at bat. He hit safely three times out of four and sacrificed Harvey Dale the other time up. Just to round out Bob's record day he banged out a homer and knocked in Lee Anderson with another smash.

Palomar bunched three of its hits in the second inning to go into the lead. They were sti ll out in front 5-3 going into the ninth and pinched off a Fallbrook rally only after the +owners had the tying and winning run s on base.

Pelsma had control of the ball game all the way in.

Short Underwearers Lose Track Meet The Palomar track team took the long trip to El Centro Tuesday the 19th, to participate in a dual meet with the Arab cindermen. Palomar's skeleton crew represented only half of the full track team and they took an 80 to 28 beating.

Many of Palomar's performers were playing baseball at Brawley a·nd were unable to attend the track met. Stan Maag, Travis Bagwell, and others were unable to take the trip on account of finals or illness. Track coach Williamson was unable to go because of some financial difficulties of the college.

Don Blake, recently injured in an auto accident and unable to participate, took over the coaching duties and turned in a very f;n<\

job.

.

As it was, Niki Osland was h1gh point man for the "Comets" with ten points . Next was Hitt with five points. For El Centro, McPhatter took three firsts for 15 points and high scoring honors.

COMETS BEAT ARABS FOR THIRD VICTORY

P. J. C. NINE LARRUP BALBOA U. 9-1 Repeating a previous performance of a few weeks ago the league leading Comets took the Balboa University ball club into camp 9 to I, adding another victim to their victory string.

Consistant Tom Canady held the opponents to only two hits during his five inning stint at the mound, with Clint (no-hit) Smith, finishing the remaining two frames allowing only one hit.

Superior hitting combined with the opponent's errors, gave the

Comets a total of ten hits for their nine runs scored. Pacing the hitting power for the locals were outfielder Clint Smith, second-baseman Bob C~rno and Catcher Jack Clarno with two hits apiece.

The Comets will be shooting for their third straight conference victory when they journey to El Centro on April 19, in a game whose result will in all probability determine the team to win the loop crown in this newly established confere nce.

BASEBALLERS LOSE CLOSE ONE TO 0-C The Comets string of conference victories was snapped at three Friday afternoon, as the nearby rivals from Oceanside-Carlsbad College managed to get away with a 9 to 7 verdict.

Getting an early 5-run lead in the first inning, fue Spartans managed to hold it alth ough they were threatened at severa l occasions.

Marvin Brewer, starting hi s first game for the Comets, settled down after the first inning and with ihe support of a sharp infield and a hustling outfield finished the game out with only nine hits off his pitching arm.

The Comets made their strongest bid for the lead in the second half of the 4th inning when with only one away and with the bases loaded, Anderson was walked scoring Dick Smith. Jack Clarno then

sent a sizzling two-base hit scoring Billy O'Niell and Clint Smith. Anderson stole home when Clarno .slid into seco nd to move the score to a one run margin. In the last of the seventh inning, Brewer brought the small crowd to their feet when he got a beautiful three bagger into centerfeld with no one on base, but since the next two batters went down swingiog, he died on base.

The defeat, the only one in league play, puts the Comets in a tie for first place with the Arabs from El Centro who also have a 3 won and I loss conference record. On May 2, the Comets will play host to the Arabs in the title deciding game since the only other team remaining on the Comet's schedule is Citrus, but little is expected of them.

"Yassah, that's right. He's daid, jedge, but I ain't."

-Explorer's Log

The Palomar baseball team bounced the El Centro Arabs out of their contending position for baseball honors Tuesday, April 19, by trouncing them to the tune of 21-1 I. The game was played at Brawley at the same time the El Centro-Palomar track meet was taking place at El Centro. The game was scheduled to be played under lights but the El Centro field was flooded and the game was transferred to the other city. The contest ran only eight innings when the Arabs folded their tents and went home to supper.

Standout of the game was Clin'ton Smith who got four hits for five times at the plate, and two of these were homers. Bill O'Neill also got his first home run of the season in the first inning. Tom Canady chucked the whole way with Harvey Dale catching.

The "Comets" went ahead in the first inning with O'Neill's homer, bringing Lee Anderson ahead of him. Sm ith got his first homer in the third to hold the lead, but El Centro rallied in the fourth to tie up the ball game. This didn't last for long, however, as Anderson, in the same frame, bunted perfectly to score Dick Smith and again put Palomar in the lead, an edge which they held for the rest of the game.

Clint Smith poked the ball over the fence for his second time in the seventh to make the final score an impressive 21-1 I, all of which seemed to make the numerou s Brawley fans very happy.

Kitty Korntr The Ramona Pageant lured a large crowd of Pa lomar students.

Among those present to enjoy the play were Norman Kettering, Dorothy McDonald, C~uck Roger~, Marylin Cook, Jim Hdlebreck, Lo1s Cooper, Norma Osmann, Mary Jo W oods, and Donna Rae Smith.

Lois and Norma and their two Escondido friends were see n traveling around in a blue Ford convertible . . whose?

George Ross spent his usual week-end at the "exclusive" night spots in Hemet! Won't he ever reform!

Don Blake is back on the campus and it sure is swell to see him again. He 's recuperating beautifully from the accident . .. He and his steady girl, Billie Brewer, of Vista High School were at the Hemet Fiesta over the week-end. dido. It was all legal though, they fought in the ring at the American Legion bouts Saturday night.

Howard won.

Bill Bowe rs ha s been playing golf with the "girl of his dreams." I hear he's used up a whole box of chalk ! · What happened to Grabinski on the El Centro trip? He made a taste test .. Seems the same thing happened to "Gil Dodds" Huchting!

March 23 is the date that Art Hayes went over the deep end .. he married Ginnie Morse from Encinitas. Palomar extends congratulations.

Sue lnoyue seemed to be in quite a predicament one evening . . she was at a box socia l with a "certai n somebody" and toward the end of the night she found out that "ce rtain someone" was a married man.

The Hangove r Hop given by the Freshman class was a huge success for the few people who were there to enjoy it. Honors should go to Karen Jones and Louie Schenider who decorated the Woman 's club house so originally. Rex Phalen's band supplied the door prize by making a record of the audience singing " Boom Ba Dol," and also a recording of their newest compositio n "Lorraine, Lorraine" which they dedicated to Lorraine Lindeman. Stan Maag won the door prize, much t o his amazement .. he hardly expected to win anything after having lost so much at the Kiwanis Karnival earlier that same evening. A few of the couples present were Jim Marshall and Eilene Corey, Josie Rubio and Bennie Wade, An ita Ronay and Stan Maag, Jerry Mattson and Karen Jones, Marilyn Smith and Andy Wikholm, Dolores Grabinski and Wayne Cummings, Linde Lindeman and Herman Hesse.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson spent an enjoyable week-end by visiting at Santa Barbar and San Jose colleges on the way to San Francisco.

BOBBIN' AROUND THE OTHER JC's Balboa U. is coming along fine with their annual. They are working hard at it, as our staff is doing.

The Cal Poly rodeo team went to Phoenix a while back and took first place. Seems they're rather proud of their "cowboys".

From Santa Ana we hear that they had a fine formal dance called the "Bachelors' Ball." Had a queen and everythinq. The drama department presented "Chicken Every Sunday" whcih was a great success.

Fullerton J. C. gave the bloodchilling play "Ten Little Indians."

It turned out a great success there, too. Blue and gold days are coming and· the fellows are letting their beards grow for the occasion.

May I I is the date set for Pirate's Day at Orange Coast. Object: culmination of a contest to see who can raise the best beard.

Prizes are for "length, strength, and tonsorial technique."

Fullerton J. C. held a Fashion Carnival in which 16 shops displayed spring and summer attire.

Door prizes were awarded to a few lucky ones from the crowd of 1200 who attended. F. J. C. has just started its spring production of Rosemary Taylor's "Chicken Every Sunday."

The men students at Citrus J. C. had a beard-growing contest. A prize was awarded for the fullest and longest beard at the end of two weeks at the annual Hobo dance. Citrus also had a fine picnic with a rough baseball game (boys vs. girls), and a weiner roast .

What wrong girls? Manuel Saenz spent a whole week-end at home.

The poor boy gets home all tired out from work and then doesn't even have a pleasant evening to look forward to.

Palomar has been having an awful lot of extra curricular activities and not many students have offered to support them .. Now if we didn't have any parties and dances everyone would be complaining, but as it is, we've had a dance nearly every week and they've had very little attendance. Come on now, let's get a little school spirit! .. I think the girls are giving a Karnival Dance on the 30th. Why not go? Who knows you might have a wonderful time!

Leo Holland, who went east to seek his fame and fortune after the first semeste'r at Palomar, was back visiting on the c mpus this week. Leo says he will .be going to State next year.

Don Schaumburg, art teacher at the college who is taking leave of absence next year, will start in at Claremontnext June and continue through the following winter and the summer to get hi s Master's in fine arts before coming back to school.

Fallbrook's former Palomar student, Ross Cope, who now plys his studies at the University of Arizona, has added another star to his crown of accomplishments.

Handsome Ross, whose melodious baritone had bolstered many a musical program in the district and lifted many a high note in favor of Nancy Maginnis, now has completed a book length novel. Cope has asked Paloma r's English instructor, William Julian, to make a critical comment on the manusc ript, which deals with Cope's ·war-time experiences in Italy.

The fre shman dance, held at the Vista Woman's club last Saturday night, was a highly successful ~f­ fair in the quality of entertainment. Karen Jone s and Louis Schneider carried the load of decorating and arranging the dance. One feature of the evening was a "Happy Birthday" number played by bandsman Rex Phalan for_ Marilyn Smith, Dean John L. Bla1r and Ray Lee Farris.
