Description	Note on image verso: "Please don't bite--With a smile for the photographer, Tomoe Nomura slips her hand into the mouth of Buttons, a four-year-old pilot whale at Marineland of the Pacific, as trainer Larry Clark tickes the whale's palate. Miss Nomura, of Kobe, Japan, is a freshman at Marymount College, which is located across the street from the oceanarium in Palos Verdes, California. It is a custom for incoming students to 'meet' Buttons and her partner, Bubbles, at Marineland."
Historical Background	In 1923, the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary first established an all-girls school in Los Angeles. Marymount School moved to a new campus on Sunset Boulevard in Westwood and opened a two-year junior college in 1933. In 1948 the school became Marymount College of Los Angeles and first granted baccalaureate degrees. Marymount College was relocated to the Palos Verdes campus in 1960. Loyola University of Los Angeles and Marymount College officially merged into Loyola Marymount University in 1973.
