Dr. William B. Langsdorf, principal: “I would like to congratulate
the ‘Campus’ staff, it is a beautiful job that shows a tremendous
amount of ingenuity. It has a different and novel approach to layout.
In these troubled days when everyone is concerned with world prob¬
lems, it is a fine thing to remember that life is worth living. The
dedication and theme of the .
‘Campus’ is appropriate. This
yearbook would do credit to any
university or college in the
country.”
Dr.' Catherine J. Robbins, act¬
ing assistant principal and direc¬
tor of student activities: “It is
extremely clever and a very beau¬
tiful book. The annual is an
important publication because it
brings PCC activities together in
one unit. I especially like the
pictorial section.”
Earl Holder, administrative
business assistant: “It’s the best
‘Campus’ they’ve ever had!”
Ron Yielding, ASB president¬
elect: “It’s GREAT! It is certain¬
ly worth the extra dollar stu¬
dents are asked to pay this year.
The way it’s set up, the next
year, the extra dollar .won’t be
necessary, provided we have good
student support. Congratulations
to the ‘Campus’ staff.”
Hank Weber, retiring ASB
president: “The ‘Campus’ is
great! The ‘Campus’ staff has
really outdone themselves. Talk
about how well off we are all you
want to and then compare this
book with other junior colleges.
It concluded a great year with a
great annual.”
Bill Jones, president of OMD:
"It is very well planned and ex¬
ecuted book and the staff de¬
serves a lot of credit. It is a
privilege to comment on such a
wonderful book.”
Bob Judd, former commissioner
of public relations: “The 1951
‘Campus’ is just another fine ex¬
ample of PCC’s unfailing suc¬
cess in the publications field.
Congrats to all the staffers and
printers.”
Jimmy Michaelson, secretary
of photography: “It’s the best an¬
nual I’ve ever seen since I've been
here. It’s really great!”
Ann Ford, Spartan president:
“The new ‘Campus’ is simply ter¬
rific! I like especially the colored
cartoons and the pictures in each
section which carry out the clev¬
er Circus theme. How did those
clowns get in there? Me thinks
we owe many thanks to the hard
working ‘Campus’ staff for put¬
ting out such a FINE annual!”
Leo Dizikes, Lancer president:
“I feel that this year’s ‘Campus’
is one that shows the true spirit
of City College. Its theme and
the way it is carried out in draw¬
ings is something of which we
can all be proud.”
Frank Jones, senior head cus¬
todian: “It’s the best one they’ve
ever had since I have been cus¬
todian. The pictures are good
and clear.”
Robert van der Veen, printshop
foreman: “This is the ninth year¬
book I have printed, and without
a doubt this 1951 ‘Campus’ is the
finest that I have worked on yet.
The Circus theme is terrific and
has made printing the book more
fun than work.”
APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL . . . was
given here as enthusiastic collegians got a first¬
hand opportunity on Tuesday to examine the
Campus. Members of the Campus staff, have
worked all year long to produce an outstanding
annual for Pasadena City College students.
'Presenting the World's Greatest Array of Clowns -the Campus Staff’
For most students at City Col¬
lege, “Campus Day” means auto¬
graphing an endlegs number of
yearbooks. To the Campus staff
itself, however, it means some¬
thing else: at last, the results of
a year’s work is now being un¬
veiled to the students. "How
will the kids like the book?” is
the question in every staffer’s
mind.
Most anxious to hear the re¬
actions of her class mates is Joan
Warner, editor
№ Alter the ap-
proval of the Campus class, the
staff immediately began to gath¬
er material for the dedication,
foreword, and pictures for the
pictorial section, for this was the
part of the annual that was due
first at the PCC printshop. Work¬
ing with Miss Gladys Snyder,
adviser to the yearbook, Joan
“burned the midnight oil,” plan¬
ning pictures, writing copy, dum¬
mying pages and performing all
the other many tasks of an edi¬
tor who is responsible for telling
the story of an entire year at
PCC.
Working closely throughout
the entire year with Joan, was

ШС о

Michealson
Campus pho¬
tographer, took
over 250 “shots”
for this year’s
annual. Since
Jim covers
school activities
for an entire
8 year, he and his
camera are a common “twosome”
on the local campus.
In charge of the athletics sec¬
tion for this year’s annual was
Don Harrison, men’s sports edi¬
tor. Represent¬
ing the males
on campus, it
is his duty to
see that all ath¬
letic activities
are covered by
a yearbook rep¬
resentative. Af¬
ter photographs
have been tak¬
en and identi¬
fied for the sport section, Don
“wrote up” the copy so that a
complete story of sports at City
College is told in the 1951 Cam¬
pus.
For the first time in its history,
the Campus had a women’s
sport’s editor to handle the “fem¬
inine angle” of athletics at City
College. Handling this job alone
was Eileen Morris, an active
member of WAA, who submitted
pictures and wrote copy for this
section.
With a staff of editors, each
with his own particular duty, and
a class of students eager to per¬
form their journalistic tasks, it
is necessary that there be some¬
one to coordinate the work of
the yearbook. Doing this and
also offering instruction in the
field of yearbook production are
the duties of Miss Gladys Snyder,
adviser.
The majority of “staffers” are
not editors, however. An indis¬
pensable part of the Campus is
the class which meets on Tues¬
days and Thurs-
^ed students con¬
tribute many of
the tasks neces-
yearbook. I n
return the students get class
units, journalism experience, and
an inside view of what goes on
at PCC. Members of the class
this semester are Jim Bald, Bill
Blankenship, Ruth Brown, Dotty
Derr, Norma Hancock, Cecelia
Jenks, Joan Sawrey, Vickie
Stultz, Nina Swanson, Lorraine
Vasi and Dorothy Woods.
When each signature or 16 con¬
secutive pages of the Campus
was completed, it was then sent
to the PCC print shop where
Robert van der Veen, shop man¬
ager; Bill Lindquist, Intertype
operator; and Ray Axxe and Bob
Bohannon, pressmen, attended to
the printing of the annual. Be¬
sides their specific duties, these
men offer suggestions to the staff
and also “crack the whip” so that
each editor meets his deadline.
