Canine Diamondmen Trample Santa Rosa
It looks like Thurman’s men have finally terminated
their championship aggression! And only because there are
no more championships to gain. Their latest and final dia¬
mond honors came on May 26 and 27 when at the expense of
Santa Rosa JC in a three game _ _ _
series, they garnered the 1950
California Junior College State
baseball championship.
The Northerners, winners of
the Region II JayCee title, were
defeated in the first game of the
series against Pasadena at Hor-
rell Field on May 26. On the
following day, the visitors came
back with a win in the first game
of a double-header to even the
series. However, the Bulldogs
copped the night-cap to clinch the
series and the state champion¬
ship, to bring to a climax an¬
other successful season for John
Thurman and his Bulldog nine.
This year’s Pasadena squad
played a total of 39 games, win¬
ning 31, dropping 6, and tying 2.
The Bulldogs first won the Con¬
ference crown with a 12-0 record,
then the Region I JayCee dia¬
mond title, and finally last week,
the state championship. '

In the initial tilt of the Santa
Rosa series, Ray Rubenstein
pitched a seven hitter in winning
for Pasadena, 4-3. Eight Rosa
batters were whiffed by the local
ace hurler. Big Jack Coldren
poled out Pasadena’s only home
run of the series to furnish the
big blow for the victory. Chuck
Latham and Dave Gorrie, ending
their junior college careers, col¬
lected two hits apiece.
Alex Goedhard, chucking his
last game for Pasadena, ran into
the awakening bats of the Santa
Rosa men in the second game of
the series to lose by an 8-4 count.
The bright spot of Pasadena’s fu¬

Local Science Prof
Succumbs to Illness
Martin Schill, popular physi¬
cal science instructor, succumbed
Sunday in a local hospital after
an illness of several months. He
had been a PCC teacher since
1946. He leaves a wife, Elsie,
and two children, Benjamin and
Mara.
A graduate of the University of
New Mexico, where he obtained
his MA degree, Schill taught in
a Manhattan, Nevada, high
school, where he became prin¬
cipal. Soon after war broke out,
he entered the US Navy where
he offered physics instruction for
three years.
“Mr. Schill was a highly es¬
teemed member of our faculty.
His loss will be keenly felt by
both the faculty and the students.
By his fine character and devo¬
tion to duty and by his interest
in his students, he had endeared
himself to all with whom he
came in contact,” Principal John
W. Harbeson commented, when
news of the death reached him.
outstanding collegians are pro¬
claimed OMD members.
Anita Felkner plays Judy Wat¬
ers, romantic lead, in the show,
which features Bill Linton as Jim
Jason, the object of her affec¬
tions. Bob Chase portrays mod¬
eling entrepeneur Henry Ryan,
and Don Walker appears as J. B.
Williams, Ryan’s rival executive.
The story deals with the in¬
spired efforts of a models’ agen¬
cy to re-establish its financial
solvency by staging the reappear¬
ance of an obscure former child
star. The ex-moppet, Baby Dar¬
lene, was driven into untimely
retirement by the irretrievable
loss of her baby teeth. Carol
McEwen plays a countrified im¬
poster who poses as the missing,
now quite grownup, star.
“Baby Darlene,” in addition to
its assembly presentation on
June 15, will be staged on the
night of June 14 to a paying pub¬
lic. Under the supervision of Joe
LaGue, Morris Buchanan directs,
William Vasse assists and Jeanne
Moore is secretary.
ant principals have yet to be ap¬
pointed.
■ Miss Florence Brubaker, local
life science counselor, has been
delegated to the duties of regis¬
trar, replacing Dean of Records
John A. Anderson, who retires
this June. She will supervise ad¬
missions and registration pro¬
cedure, examination schedules,
veteran activities and attendance
records.
Robbins’ Activities Widen
The new job of director of stu¬
dent activities has been given to
Dr. Catherine J. Robbins, current
dean of women. She ' will have
charge of all campus social and
club life and the planning of the
activities calendar. She will also
serve as administrative adviser
and co-ordinator on student gov¬
ernment and campus publica¬
tions, Freshman Week adviser
and eligibility chairman.
A PHS and PJC alumnus, Dr.
Rowins worked as a Red Cross
field director during the last war,
with duty in the United States,
Alaska and Western Canada. Pri¬
or to this, he taught history and
civics on the local campus. In
1946 he returned to Pasadena, to
become a veteran’s counselor,
and two years later was promot¬
ed to the City Schools’ central
personnel office. “But the big¬
gest honor and distinction is to
return to Pasadena City College,”
he feels. The new administrator
majored in education at the Uni¬
versity of Southern California.
She ‘Looks Forward’
Miss Brubaker arrived at PCC
in 1925, having graduated from
the University of California, to
teach botany and zoology. Three
years later she became life sci¬
ence counselor. She has done
graduate work at USC, Stanford,
Columbia and Claremont in sci¬
ence, education and guidance, and
is a member of four honorary so¬
cieties: Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Sig¬
ma, Sigma Xi and Delta Kappa
Gamma. “I am looking forward
to my new duties,” she says.
“Activities are an integral part
of the total educational pro¬
gram,” Miss Robbins confides. A
student personnel administration
major, she wrote her doctor’s the¬
sis at Stanford on “The Emer¬
gence of Social Competence.”
From 1923 to 1931 she taught
mathematics, business and Span¬
ish at Pasadena, and was then
appointed to her present posi¬
tion. She is immediate past
vice-president of the American
Association of University Wo¬
men, and has written articles
for national education magazines.
Holder of a Phi Beta Kappa key,
she is an honorary life member
of the Parent-Teachers Associa¬
tion, and belongs to Pi Lambda
Theta, women’s honorary educa¬
tional fraternity.
Major cabinet positions for
