1964 Raconteur

This is your book, your story-it covers a span of time in your life which is small but a scope which is large. It is the story of Bakersfield College.

A Raconteur is a French storyteller, and indeed your Raconteur is telling a very important story. A story about an important port of your life. Within its covers lie your hopes and dreams, your successes and failures.

Your life is but in the molding here, you are being prepared for the complicated world which you will enter when you leave Bakersfield College. A life which will be complex, a world of science and technology which will make your hectic days here seem like a moment of brief rest. You will look bock upon your years here and see the preparation that took place, how your classes and teachers used science for your enrichment.

Whether you majored in the Humanities or Physics, art or mechanics your preparation has been scientific, as our world is scientific. This then is a capsule summary of that preparation. A montague look at your life here. Your preparation has been fast and effcient, brief and complete. Whether you transfer to another institution of preparation or go into the world directly, you will fall back on your education here.

The life of science, and the science of life-this is the story of Bakersfield College, and this is that story.

As I reflect on your theme regarding science and life, may I first congratulate each of you for mak­ing this, our fifieth anniversary year, o truly memorable one.

During these fifty years we hove seen the knowl­edge of our physical world multiplied many times through scientific study. This knowledge is growing and changing more drastically today than in any other period of history as we investigate the smal­lest unit ever known to man and learn to control the greatest force.

As our scientific study is translated into tech­nology, we ore exploring outer space with orbital flights, sending man circling the globe in seconds and returning him to earth in o precise area, glibly talking about landing men on the moon, and train-

President

ing men to live in outer space. Closely coupled to our expanding scientific

knowledge is o surging interest in philosophy and the arts. Throughout the year we hove seen and heard many fine examples of creative expression, both by our students and by guests on our campus.

To you who will be leaving Bakersfield College this year and to you who will be returning next fall, let us each work to stimulate and extend ourselves toward developing truly creative minds, capable of understanding, appreciating and contributing to the scientific, technological, and artistic ad­vancements in the world of today and of tomorrow.

Edward Simonsen President

Vice-President

The very fact that st udents ore in college indicates a genuine concern for the future. It also indicates a willingness to accept and achieve change. Future developments with­in t he preview of college students hove never been more intriguing. College students con be assured that history and the other social sciences, literature, and the arts will continue to be concerned with exom1nmg human values. Surely, science with all its ramificat ions will be increasingly involved with these some values.

There is increasing evidence that the thoughtful minds of the future will be more dedicated to analyzing the course of human betterment. I trust that all t hose who ore and who will become port of Bakersfield Col­lege will read the post with under­standing, envision the future with on imaginative mind, and act deliber­ately and wisely as individuals to im­prove mankind's fortunes.

The Boord of Trustees of the Kern Junior College District has effectively charted o new course leading to expansion and the assuming of new responsibilities. A smooth transition from a district encompassing one high school district to one composed of six has been accomplished. Increased enroll­ments, new services, new demands, o more cosmopolitan student body, and a more stable financial bose will surely follow these extensions of the old boundaries.

We applaud the dedicated citizens who so freely give their time and talents to this enterprise of higher education in Kern County. It is not by chance that the staff program and facilities of Bakersfield Col­lege ore noted for excellence. For ranging vision and the courage to stand for what is best in education hove paid handsome dividends. Not the least of these is a stim­ulated, interested, motivated and apprecia­tive student body.

Since the down of t ime, agriculture has been one of the vital sciences of man's survival. In an age of science, the Agriculture Deportment has kept pace with the scientific progress of our time. The 1963-64- Agriculture Department has continued to follow a pattern of rapid growth. The de­portment hod a much higher enroll­ment than lost year. A horticulture unit, the glass house, a loth house, and class room has been added to the deportment this year.

Special Services

While instructors work to fill the empty heads of BC students, the cafeteria staff works to see the empty stomachs filled. The staff of cafeteria work­ers ore friendly, ready to serve people who dish up food, fill glosses, and reach for coins left spinning on the counter. They prepare all the food for stu­dents who live on campus, and a great deal of the food for students who live off campus. The staff serves at special events and conferences.

A f ierce pride and a strong loyalty for the school ore char­acteristic qualities of the twenty-nine members of the custodial staff of Bakersfield College. A high percentage of the men on the staff support the athletics of the college, including football games away. The custodians receive a great deal of well de­served praise from visitors to the BC campus, for it is usually the custodians who toke the time and effort to show them around.

A highly developed spirit of cooperation exists between the custodial staff and all segments of the college faculty and stu­dent body. As on example of this cooperation, the student com­mittees for every donee put on at the college go to the heads of the custodial deportment to find out what to do about the problems which they usually encounter. Cooperation between the custodial staff and the faculty works both ways, the faculty mem­ber considers the problems of the custodian, and as a result the custodian will work just a little bit harder to make the teaching job easier.

Evening Division

A delicate balance has been achieved by the students of the Evening Division.

They devise o formula that has as its foe­tors, making o living and getting on educa­tion. To some, evening division means their only educational opportunity, for others it is a supplement to their doily attendance. Whichever it is, there is something about the evening classes that is special. A quiet sereneness of o well lighted campus, the sound of footsteps in the worm halls and the bundled figures shuffling along to the campus center, lit like o beacon in the night.

The evening division student is represent­ed by the chartered Evening Division Stu­dent Body Council that specializes in the affairs and problems of the special kind of person, the intellectually curious, the scien­tist who has worked out the magic formula of Evening Division.

The most striking and beautiful feature of a beautiful campus is the

320 square foot mosaic, which is located on the Science and Engineer-

ing building. This multi-colored creation blends with the futuristic

ironwork on the Art building some two hundred yards away.

The mosaic was designed and created by Miss Patricia O'Connor, ''Jl

who graduated in 1963. She was assisted by about twenty other

art students, and together they spent over 240 hours on the project.

The finished product is composed of ten 4' x 10' plywood boards

Art which were coated with resin and covered with thousands of bits of

mosaic tile. It was designed to be pertinent to the subject matter

taught in the building on which it hangs. 73

Renegade Rip

The Renegade Rip is the official weekly newspaper of the Associated Student Body. The paper is put out by a frantic, indus­trious ond conscientious collection of jour­ndistic motley moguires.

Amid the mod chaos of cutlines, editor­ials, feature stories, and dummy sheets, there glowed a spark of order and guided effort in the Rip Office-the editorial staff.

And then there were the deadlines. T ues­doy and Wednesday nights found the Rip office abound with talk, cigarette smoke, music, coffee cups, impossible noise and late copy. Much to the delight of its read­ers, the weekly campus tabloid always seemed to meet the omnipresent deadline.

Finding parking space in the "B" lot, waging tribal warfare on a local DJ, listen­ing to their LP collection, and playing in­tramural football were just a few of the Rip's other activities.

Along with the copy each week, the Rip also actively participated in the Student Government. The Rip had· representatives on the Activities Board and the Board of Representatives and participated in the Nominating Convention.

All-in-oll the Renegade Rip was able to wrap up another year able to soy that it hod served the students of Bakersfield Col­lege with a good, well-informed paper.

Freshman Class

Beginning their initial semester, the Fresh­man Closs jumped into school activities by sponsoring a donee after the Bakersfield­Santo Monico football game. The freshman officers then toured all orientation classes to promote interest in all activities. ''Rene­grads-Pride of the Post, Hope of the Fu­ture" was the theme of the frosh f loat which placed third in the parade. Andy Chism, Homecoming Queen candidate, reigned as first princess. The freshmen also participat­ed in intramural football, golf, bowling, and basketball. A Greyhound Bus was chartered by the class to take loyal rooters to the L.A. Volley game. Further service was developed with the Welfare Deportment through a Christmas food donation and various other contributions. The Freshman Closs also sponsored a Volentine's donee, helped with B.C. Day, presented the sophomores with the annual Sophomore Closs Honor Brunch, and participated in the Spring Carnival. The Closs was represented at the Area No. 5 and California Junior College Confer­ences. Being one of the larger clubs on com­pus, the freshmen chose fifteen delegates to represent the class at the nominating con­ventions. Showing their size, imagination, and power the freshmen worked diligently on the Activities Boord and on the Boord of Representatives. Mr. Clyde Verhine, ad­visor, gave his guiding ideas and advice throughout the year.

Fine Arts

Festival

Bakersfield College entered full force into the activities of the fifth annual Fine Arts Festival this

May with colored flogs covering the campus and people from the community and students from high

schools and the college enjoying the exhibits of paintings, sculptures, photographs and ceramics and students dancing, reading and playing music.

This week featured three evenings, open to the community, with demonstrations of modern dance, music, and drama. " Midsummer Night's Dream"

was produced in the outdoor theatre by the stu­dents.

During the week assemblies were held for the College students. Oral interpretations, including foreign language, were given and highlighting the week was the distribution of the college literary magazine, Campus Arts. It featured poems, short stories, musical compositions and paintings done by the students at Bakersfield College.

Dr. Fronk Wattron served as the over-all choir­man with Henry Horwege and Susan Stockbridge directing the drama, Georgene Bihlmon helping with the dances, Dr. Phyllis Dabbs, oral interpreta­tion: Clayton Rippey and Dalene Osterkamp, art exhibits; Kenneth Fohsbender and Joseph Huszti, ~ music and James Profont and Peter Rush, faculty

Rallies Oh, mama!!! Check those legs!!! How

many of you remember the Vets Club's crazy fashion show which spiced one of the excellent groups of rallies on campus this year? The new masculine look in feminine nightgowns was featured. Oh, yes!

Marcia Bittleston, Fall Semester Director of Rallies, along with faculty adviser to the Rally Committee Herb Loken, coordinated football rallies every week, using such things as sending the team off for out-of-town games and Homecoming as themes. How­ever, like in fishing, the big one got away. The rally which was boasted of as the "big­gest and best" of the year, a torch rally the night before the all-important Long Beach game, was cancelled because of the in­famous Presidential Assassination.

Also, spring sports rallies were in the planning stage as the Roc went to press. The song and yell leaders were also making o year-long effort to increase attendance at such ill-supported sports as water polo, basketball, baseball, and swimming.

Vicki and the Knights win Homecoming Queen Contest.

Renegade Knigh ts The Circle K Renegade Knights are a

campus and community service organiza­tion. This year Circle K has engaged in many activities that have benefited both the community and the campus. The great success of the March of Dimes Drive in Bakersfield was due partly to their efforts. At each home football game, two boys from McKinley School were the guests of the Renegade Knights. Their great school spirit and working ability was proven by having the sweepstakes f loat and Queen Vicki Laverty at the 1963 Homecoming festivities. :n the Spring Semester the Rene­gade Knights sent 50 members to the Circle K convention in San Diego. Playboy Nut Formal was the Knights' best dance of the year. Nineteen sixty-four has been another successful year for the Renegade Knights.

Drama Bokersf1eld College has long been known

for o Drama deportment not only excelling on on educational level, but on on entertain­ment one as well. Appreciative audiences not only enjoyed the excitement of major productions, but were owed and stimulated by the arresting ideas of "theatre of the absurd." The scope was further broadened by on original ploy of great local interest by faculty director Fronk Wottron. The out­door theatre presented Shakespearean theatre to the public for the first time and showed that classical as well as experiment­al theatre was of timely value. The motto that "all the world's a stage" proved to be the theme of this season's dramatic output. It was invigorating and versatile and most important of all, expressed the spirit of the times to the student and the community.

JOSEPH HUSZTI Director

Bakersfield College Choir, Madrigal Singers, and Ensemble, all under the direction of Joseph Huszti, ore the pride of BC. Together or alone they hove been thoroughly enjoyed by the students and audiences that hove come in con­tact with them.

This year they participated in the Commu­nity College Music Festival and presented on assembly at the beginning of the first semester.

Their appearance at the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony was enjoyed by all who braved the cold to come and sing. The Christmas program of song was another high­light of the season sponsored by the Choir.

At football games, different members were selected from the Madrigal group to lead the crowd in the National Anthem. Among those who sang were David Schieber, Bill Grisham, Karen Hodson, and Marta Matis.

The Spring Concert was the seasonal high­light for the three groups.

Through these and other activities, there will be many memories for each member of these groups to look bock on and for the Fresh­man another year of promise is still ahead.

BAKERSFIELD COLLEGE CHOIR

Speech and Debate The Bakersfield College Speech and Debate squad

participated in seven tournaments this year, including the California State Junior College Speech Championships T ournoment of the Phi Rho Pi, which the BC team hosted.

In the first semester led by Dr. Phyllis Dabbs, who was on a sabbatical leave last year, the team started out with a trip to San Diego State, followed by a journey to El Camino. The team began to "click" as they were the top JC team at the LA State Championship Tournament.

Two weeks later, Bakersfield placed second to Cerritos, a squad they had beaten at LA State, in the Fresno City College Tournament.

Starting off the second semester on the right foot, the team made one of their best showings in the last few years, as they went home from the Long Beach State meet with nine superior medals and four excellent certificates. One of these superior medals was in debate as was one of the certificates of excellence.

On March 20 and 21 , Bakersfield College was the scene of the State tournament and in the first week of May, they were at Pasadena College.

The Women's Residence Hall offers its women students the opportunity of living in on exclusive campus environment. By virtue of living in the hall the students con more easily participate in the va ried college events, and ore not so prone to cut classes.

As service to the school, members of the hall serve at various dinners and ba nquets given at the college.

As a dub, the Women's Residence Hall busily plans its annua l activities. The first is to combine with the Associated Men's Residence Hall in build­ing a float for Homecoming. Next is the big Christ­mas Party, with a gift of a mudpie kit for every­one.

In the spring the girls clean their rooms. Spring Teo "is here, at which time open house is held for visitors and the girls' parents.

In May one sees many happy couples on the BC campus. These delighted souls were joined in holy matrimony at the marriage booth in the Spring Carnival, sponsored by the Women's Dorm.

The year concludes with the Big Little Sister Ban­quet given by the freshmen. Here, wide eyed sophomores listen to predictions of their unique fut ures.

The projects throughout the year hove included such things as the donating of ~logs to the college auditorium, working with the mentally retarded and participation in Wesley Fellowship Conferences throughout the state.

LOS Institute

This institute is a twofold program for

college students of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lotter Day Saints (Mormon). The first is a class, the second functions as a club.

Activities this year included on officers training program at ldylewild and two ali­day conferences in Los Angeles.

Now under construction is the $93,000 institute building on M t . Vernon which will be completed this year. With this building there will be more of an opportunity for classes and activities than in previous years.

The "GoY ds" is one of the newest club~ on campus and is also the only YMCA of­filiated club at Bakersfield College. One of the reasons "GaYds" was organized was to promote interest in student government, which has been woefully lacking in the past few years. Since it was organized in Oc­tober, 1963, five "GoYds" members hove

already been elected to positions on the Boord of Representatives.

The "GoY ds" only money-raising project this year has been a donee after the El Ca­mino game. This donee was one of the most successful after-basketball-game donees of the year, and was probably due to the ap­pearance of the now infamous BEA TLES.

In doing these and other activities, "GoY ds" is striving to encourage the en­tire student body to participate in student government. This experience is fun and con be useful in later life.

Gades International In its first year of existence, the Godes Interna­

tional strove to solidify its aims of encouraging travel and school spirit through participation in campus government. Selecting charter members, gathering student travel information, joining the U.S. Student Travel Association, and organizing cor caravans to the out of town football games were some of their many club activities. Plans were also mode to establish branch chapters at such

colleges as UCSB, Sacramento State, San Jose, UCLA, UCB.

Student Forum The Student ~orum offers students on opportu­

nity to discuss in detail all sides to controversial sub­jects. The Student Forum does not aim at making specific conclusions or offering solutions, but aims to probe to the very essence of problems. Through these discussions, it is hoped that students will be stimulated to a more lively participation and in­terest in local, notional, and international issues.

Spring Carnival A whirlwind of fun was created by

popping balloons, eggs filled with confetti crushing against the heads of friends, garters falling off the legs of pretty girls, flying pies landing in the faces of ASB presidential can­didates and other unprepared per­sons.

Men stuffed with chocolate coke, lemon pie, divinity, cokes, grope snow cones, cinnamon candied ap­ples and mustard Ioden hot dogs.

Girls were sold as slaves and aft­erwords dragged their owners to the marriage booth.

The clean-up committee who hod to clean up the remainders of a day full of fun did not mind because the Spring Carnival was o success.

Wolking toward a more pro•perou• life.

Getting their diplomo-o tool for the future.

Graduation Graduating sophomores step from the

shadows of the post into the light of the future. Graduation marks the culmination of a lot of hard work combined with num­erous activities.

For most sophomores, graduation means more than commencement rehearsal, Bac­calaureate, the Sophomore Honor Brunch ond Raconteur distribution-it means the taking on of new responsibilities. For some students, June 6 designates the end of their formal education and for others it is the beginning of future education.

Along with many memories and o brood smile of accomplishment comes the proud feeling of being o Bakersfield College graduate.

Bakersfield 21, Foothill 6

A recovered fumble on Foothill's 16 by Dove W etzell set t he stage for o fine overall season for the Renegades. Quarterback Ricky Swan, on his first pass of the year, posses for o touchdown to Jim Ebling, and the Godes were rolling. Halfback Jerry Bollard and George Mendiburu added touch­downs and "Mendi" booted o field goal for BC.

Stretch, Ebling, Stretch.

Bakersfield 38, Olympic 0 The Renegades closed their pre-league slate with o sound smashing of the Olympic College (Wash.) Rangers. Linebacker Bob Chorion scored the first TD of the game by returning on intercepted pass 25 yards for the score. Jim Ebling returned o punt 53 yards for the second TO, and Mendiburu scored twice by runs before Swan hit Wetzel! and Jerry Frith pitched to Leon Stevens for the final TO's.

Bakersfield 35, San Diego 20 Heretofore 4th-ranked Son Diego proved to be slightly less than the anticipated foe the Godes expected. BC built up o 35-6 lead before relaxing. Mendiburu, the workhorse fullback, scored first from six yards out, and four other Godes crossed the goal before the night was over. Safety Brent Roberts intercepted three posses from SO's high­ly-touted Note Show, and three other posses were pilfered by other Godes.

Bakersfield 30, Santa Monica 14 The Renegades hod to come from behind for the first t ime in the season. The Corsairs held a 14- 12 lead ·at the half-time break, but three Bakersfield touchdowns in the second half put BC in prime contention for the Metropolitan Conference crown.

Bakersfield 33, LA Valley 13 Receiving unexpected opposition from t he Mon­archs, the Godes hod to fight hard to stay unde­feated and in contention for the Junior Rose Bowl bid which was the prime target all season. The locals started fast, luckily, as Mendi barreled 26 yards for o TD on the first drive.

Heh, Heh, Heh- C iean the bum out ... Jones and Swan.

Bakersfield 26, El Camino 7 19,174 fans sow the Renegades win their Home­coming game from undefeated El Camino War­riors. Chorley Jones got BC off to the some start Wetzcll did in the season opener by recovering a fumble on ECC's 16. Ballard scored from the four. After a Warrior touchdown and extra point boot put. the Go des behin.d 7-6, Bakersfield forged ahead With the some fortitude shown the previous weekend against Santa Monica.

Cerritos 28, Bakersfield 24

T~e Renegades didn't come to ploy, the Falcons did. That was the story of the game. Cerritos held a 21-8 halftime lead and a goad fourth quarter effort by Bakersfield fell short.

Bakersfield 39, East LA 0 Six different BC players scored touchdowns in this the easiest game of the year, and a welcom~ "brea:her" between two very strong foes. Swan, Mendiburu, Roberts, Ebling, Pot Beasley, and Bol­lard scored in that order.

Bakersfield 22, Long Beach 14 The showdown for the Metro Conference crown was postponed three days because of President Kennedy's assassination, and the delay was hard­ly harmful for the Gades. On a Wednesday night, they out-did the powerful Vikings in every phose of the game, with Swan nearly perfect in his passing. The Godes led the whole game, and boasted a 14-0 bulge at the intermission.

Good catch, Witcher.

Hey, man, you're cheating!

Potato Bowl Bakersfield 48, Glendale 0

Facing the Glendale Vaqueros, who had given up only 45 points in 8 seasonal games, the Gades proceeded to score three points mare than that total in one game. BC got eight paints in each of the first three periods, and doubled their total scare in the fourth quarter with 24 points. In this game, the r.unning attack was the big weapon, whereas during the regular season, the passing of Swan and Bob Kahana had been the main fac­tor in the Renegade successes.

Cross Country Coach Bob Covey, in his first year as Bakers­

field College cross country coach, sow his charges finish a good third in the conference finals behind champion Son Diego and second place El Camino and fourth in conference dual meet competition. The league slate of 4 wins, 3 losses was splattered with numerous excellent performances by Bill An­drews, the top 'Gode runner, and number two man Keith Dailey. Andrews set several course records before being hampered by a leg injury in the lost few meets.

Fan interest, as in most of the sports in 1963-64, was higher than ever before for the harriers, but unfortunately there was only one BC home meet. In that meet, against Long Beach and LA Volley, Andrews was at his best, winning by over 75 yards.

Other members of the team, who always gave good performances too, were Bob Scott, Rudy Raimer, Don Cote and Carlos Ozuna.

Water Polo

Jim Turner, Coach

Led by unanimous All-Metropolitan Con­ference selection AI Mayo and All-Metro honorable mention owordees Roger Prosser, Bob Boyer, and Gory Gallon, the Bakers­field College Renegade water polo team hod a relatively disappointing season, fin­ishing 4-12 overall and 2-8 in league ploy. However, Coach Jim Turner was not alto­gether dissat isfied. Fan attendance was the highest BC water poloists hove ever en­joyed, and whereas southland high schools hove water polo teams, none in the BC dis­trict carry the sport.

Boyer led the squad in quarters played with 61, while Mayo scored 70 goals to lead the team in that deportment.

Besides Mayo, Prosser, Boyer, and Gal­lon, lettermen on the '63 squad included Alan Harrison, Richard Howard, John Chir­rick, Bart Alford, Norm Stanley, Larry Holcomb, John Roth, and Manager Jim Spaulding.

Swimming

Nationally-ranked swimmers Alan Harrison, A I Mayo, Roger Prosser, Jim Thomas, and Bob Boyer led Jim Turner's Renegade finmen through another fine seawn. The swimmers, though plagued with an extremely tough schedule, which began with o double-dual meet with the fresh­men of the University of California at Berkeley, came through in many individual events.

The 1964 BC team also played host to the State meet on May 7, 8, and 9, the best-attended swim meet in recent 'Gade history.

Other members of the 'Gade squad, as reported before the Rae dead­line, were Bob Araujo, Jim Roth, Ken Schuricht, David Minch, Bart Al­ford, Montie Carpenter, Gary Gallon, and Pot Mitchell.

Basketball

Bakersfield College's 1963-64 basketball team, while not t he best in the history of the school, was a highly-spirited bunch of boll players, and they gave several exciting performances, especially at home, where the crowds were larger and more vocal than normally is the case for basketball.

Freshman coach Pete Nestonde, who showed himself to be a very capable young mentor, was faced with the task of making a good team out of one sophomore and a group of f reshmen. His troubles were compounded further when the lone soph., center John Rexroth, broke a toe, putting him out of several league games. Lorry Tolliver, Ed Stephens, Roy Ermigorot, Bob Stephens, Ed Newlin, Buster Moten, Paul Green, Ron Adams, and Paul Chrismon took up the slack well, and gave every indication they will be fight ing for the league championship next year.

Gymnastics Herb Loken's 1964 Gymnastics squad,

which boasted only three members, launched their season after the Roc's deadline, on

March 6 in Son Jose. Richard Howard was the lone returning letterman, and Loken called him one of the most talented and versatile gymnasts he has ever coached. Freshmen who were expected to make the small team strong were Kol Matis and Gary Baier. Because of the size of the squad, none of the boys could specialize in any one event but had to be all-around per­formers. Although no local high schools hove gymnastics teams, Loken's teams have always given a good account of themselves, and this one was expected to be no excep­tion.

School, where his teams were perennial South Yosemite League powers, took over the College post this yeor.

This year's 'Gode team was led by let­termen John Von Tonnigon and Richard Terrell, who were returnees from lost year's hot-and-cold squad. Top freshmen pros­pects were George Wisham, Richard Bruce, and Mike Welty.

O ther team members were Richard Wil­mowski, Allen Snow, AI Adams, Jerry Loy, Gory Kerons, Roy Flewollen, and Allen Hodges.

While season results were not available at deadline time, Coach Pfister was con­fident of a great season.

Bakersfield College's track team, ornamented in the post with such notional stars as Jerry Torr (hurdles) and Bob Johnson (mile), were underdogs going into this year's batt es under Bob Covey, the youthful addition of the coaching staff.

The big stars of this year's aggregation were

Porky Jones (I 00-yd. dash). Jeff Stockton (220), Bob Scott (2-mile). Richord Jones (high jump), and Morcellou~ Cartwright (everything). Ben Laverty also excelled in the triple jurnp.

Coach Covey, building his freshman ·studded

team, felt the boys would improve and would next year be a Metro power.

Baseball

Coach Callis shakes hands with Auistant Coach Claude Gilbert.

The Renegade baseball team, under coaches Gerry Collis and Claude Gilbert, was beset by t roubles early in the season, but showed promise of a late-season spurt. After 12 games, the team hod a 6-6 record.

Lack of hitting and poor fielding were the pri­mary causes of the defeats, os the pitching was acceptable. John Bryon, who hod two of the first 6 wins, was the ace of the staff, and held a wide edge in strikeouts with 19. Pete Porro and Bob Limi also appeared ready for f ine seasons.

In the batting deportment, centerfielder Paul Anderson led the squad with a .316 overage, while Steve Rojas, the first baseman, was second with a .310 mark. Ed Means led in runs batted in with 14.

Coach Jock Frost entered the 1964 Golf cam­paign with high hopes, based on the fact that he hod six returnees from lost year's squad: T any Lehman, Ron Nelson, John Harding, Ron Surgener, Jerry Byron, and Tom Eveland.

To go with this talent, a host of promising fresh­men turned out: Dennis McDonough, who was first man throughout most of the slate, John Delany, Gory Atkins, John Moore, Ed Bougher, and Robin Mosley.

The golfers' home course was Bakersfield Coun­try Club, and they appeared especially adept at winning there.

Intramural

•

The 1963-64 Intramural program was one of the biggest and best in the history of Bakersfield College. Under full-time Director of Intramural A thletics Wid Trussler, who stepped down as tennis coach to accept the demanding posit ion, t he Intramural leagues boosted such sports as flog foot ­ball, golf, table tennis, basketball, volley­ball, bowling, and softball.

The Spanish Club Druryloners were the power in nearly all t he outdoor sports, cop­ping the football championship by a narrow margin over the Rip-Sophomore C loss Ar­gos, and displaying remarkable aptitude in basketball and volleyball as well.

The Freshman C loss dominated bowling after a poor start .
