U Architecfs Drawing of the New High School GUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL ' ,ga HEN the proposed building on the Esplanade is finished Chico Win have a High. seheei which will be unequaled by any similar build- '6 21 ing in the .Sacramento Valley. But it has been obtained only through years of ex- treme hard work. A ' The first High School was erected in 1904. It was much like our present one, which is the original re- built after a fire in 1911., Almost immediately need for room was felt. The Caduceus of 1912 complains of lack of room to carry on the work required. In 1914, however, the first of our two shacks, the manual training building, was erected to relieve con- gestion. 'The second, .called The Annex, was built after the bonds of sixty thousand dollars had failed to carry. A The bond issue would have blocked development for a number of years, and was defeated because it was too small. VVithin a short time it was evident that Chico want- ed a new High School, and on the 18th of Qctober, 1919, after a strenuous campaign of parades, rallies and open discussion, the people of Chico by a seven to one vote, voted S440,000 for the erection of a new High School. - ' The site chosen is an excellent one. The area is 53 acres. The building will face the Esplanade. The grounds extend westerly along Sacramento Avenue to Ivy Street, then south on Ivy Street to th.e campus of the present High School, forming an L, and bounded on the inner side by the State Normal, the Bidwell Mansion grounds and Mansion Park Exten- sion. The land cost 31,000 per acre. The soil is of the finest in the Sacramento Valley, and the possibility of agricultural development is unlimitedg . The school is to consist of a main structure and several minor buildings. The main building is to be about 300 feet from the Esplanade, and will be reached by walks and a semi-circular driveway. The building is to be of brick, of the Tudor style of architecture, and will cover an area nearly two-thirds as large as our present High School campus. It is to be 340 feet long and about 240 feet deep. Cf thelthree front entrances, the central one is to be the most beautiful. This win have ah eight-foot vestibule, then an entrance hall extending to the main corridor. Qpposite the entrance will be the study hall and the offices of the vice-principals. 'On the left of -11... the entrance will be the office of the principal and secretary, beyond which will be rooms for the teachers, a girls, rest room and the girls' lockers, all on the west side of the corridor. The remainder of the south half will be occupied by the English and mathematics departments. The large room on the southeast corner willbe equipped with a stage, 125 opera chairs, and a moving picture and stereopticon apparatus. Besides special classes, evening meetings for the general public may also be held in this room. On the right of the main entrance is to be the new library, with stacks for a large number of volumes, and tables for reading. Upposite the library will be the registrar's office, a committee room, and the boys' lockers. In the re- mainder of the north half will be the history and language departments. On the second floor will be -the science, art, com- mercial, and home economics departments. In the science department will be facilities for physics, chem- istry, biology, physiology and generaliscience, with provision for junior college extensions. Boys' and girls, lockers, storage rooms and departmental offices will also be placed on,this floor. Of the secondary buildings, the gymnasium Will be the most important and pretentious. It will con- tain gymnasium equipment, and rooms .for th,e music r department, including band and choral rooms. The teria and lunch rooms will be underneath the gym- nasium proper, which will also be used for social pur- poses and as an auditorium when occasion demands it. cafe The agricultural, botany and manual training de- artments will be in three separate buildings on the south side of the High, School grounds. In them will P be a printing shop, laboratories, class rooms, and stor- age rooms. There will be a drafting room, a finishing and gluing room, a Wood turning room, a blacksmith shop, a forge room and offices and shop equipment. In the rear of the shops will be sheds for automobiles and bicycles. A splendid athletic field is provided with. courts for tennis, basket ball, handball and other games. There will be a drill ground with armory equipment. The buildings and athletic fields will cover about eighteen acres. The remainder of the land will be devoted to agriculture, and such new buildings as are necessary will be erected upon it. Chico is to have a new High. School of which it may well be proud. Not only will it have the largest High School campus in Northern California. but it will also have a beautiful building and adequate room for expansion. ..12..

In social affairs, politics, and in athletics they have never failed to come to the front. Like 2111 Freshmen, when they entered High. School, some be- gan to study hard and to get ahead, while others did very little studying and as a consequence did not have many credits at the end of the year. . Une of the memorable events of that year was the case of Krikac versus the upper classmen. In th.is case it seems that the upper classmen got the worst of it, because since then there has been very little hazing in Chico High School. ' A x,J 4--J . Rx,-' iff Aol no' I 2 ,S 5 to Ll The creek was a favorite bathing place with the Freshmen. The upper classmen that year took great Spleasure in throwing the Freshmen into the creek if they did not do as they were told. John Moore and iRudell Bowleron separate occasions, each tested the coolness of the water. . The Freshmen officers for the year 1916-17 were, First semester - Rudell Bowler, president, Wesley Moore, vice-president, Mary VVhitnell, secretary-treas- urer. Second semester-Haydn Davis, pres., Jeanette Blodgett, vice-pres., Harold Donohue, secy-treas. Rudelli Bowler completed his course in three years, VVesley Moore soon became one of the most popular members of the class. He was editor-in-chief of the Red and Gold for the year 1919-20, but has quit school and will probably not graduate with his class. Mary VVhitnell left school in her Sophomore year to study the art of the moving pictures. .Haydn Davis has held numerous Student Body as well as class offices since he came to High School. The class can well be proud of him. .leanette Blodgett has been vice-president of the class twice. once in her Freshman and once in her junior year. Shoes Dono- hue's fame will probably live through many classes yet to enter High School. . As Freshmen, the class gave two dances. one De- cember 3d, and the other March 16. Both dances were declared to be great successes by all who attended. The Freshmen were given a good time at the Fresh- man receptiOH, September 29th. G As Sophomores, th.e class was not behind the others in spirit, and was represented in every phase of school life. The officers elected xverer First semester-George Jeffery, president, Elmer Lewis, vice-president: Martha SENIORS-John I-I. Donohue, Harold Spicer, Blanche Bowman, Jeanette Blodgett, DeWitt.

' ' Geo. Jeffery has been popular in football, baseball and in Student Body offices. Elmer Lewis left school at the beginning of his Junior year to join the navy, and has been in the service the past two years. Martha Orendorff has made many friends since she came to High School. Mary Preisendanz filled the office to which she was elected. in a very able manner. In social affairs the class of 520 was very success- ful in its Sophomore year. One of th.e best dances of the year was given by them April 19, 1917, at the Armory Hall. The Junior class of '19 was one of the best classes in school. In social and athletic affairs they were es- pecially successful. p 1 The officers elected were responsible for the highly successful way in wh.ich the social affairs were carried out. The officers for the year were: First semester- John Tyler, president, Marie Edwards, vice-president, Johanna Schreiter, secretary-treasurer. Second. Semes- ter-Marvel Burt, president, Jeanette Blodgett, vice- president, Jack Holmes, secretary-treasurer. John Tyler is known throughout the school as an athlete, having played on the basket ball team four years in succession, two years on the football' team and -16 one on the baseball team. Marie Edwards was very cial affairs. Johanna Schreiter, be- cause of the active part she had played in class and Student Body affairs, had the good will of all her Burt left school in her Junior vear, and will not graduate with her class. Jack Holmes is one of the best athletes that this High School been on the football. base- popular in all so classmates. Marvel has ever produced. He has ball, basket ball, and track teams. As Juniors, the class was responsible for two of the best dances of the season. They were hosts at the farewell dance given to the Seniors on May 2, at the Park Pavillion. The Senior class of '20 is now on the last lap or its most illustrious High School career. ln football. baseball, basket ball, tennis and track. the Seniors hai shown the stuff they are made of. In Caduceus. lied and Gold, dramatics, and Student Body affairs tliej. have come out in the lead. their final year were: First semester-Frank Camper president, Joh.n Tyler, vice-president: lvan Runnnei secretarv-treasurer.

Ivan Runnnc .LA The officers elected to guide the Seniors tlirougii SENIORS-George LOCGY, Ralph BHXWF, Tielqiha Hinton, Nellie Goebel, Leila Parrish, Frankie Cameron, Richard Oliver Homer Griffith was one of our popular athletes, having played on the basketball, football and track teams. Russell Free man, another ex-service man, came. .here from Michi- gan to finish his High School course. Alma Jones has taken a leading part in all class and Student Body activities. Ethel Bohannon has been active in all class affairs. Members of the Senior class who have held Student Body offices are: Jack Holmes, Harold Spicer, Homer Mitchell, Haydn Davis, Harold Donohue, DeWitt Davis, Kathryn Kelly, George Curtis, Sam Eubanks, John McNabb, Ladrue Stolp and Alma jones. Carl Kiolstadt, George Pulley, Harold Spicer and john Tyler have all won sweaters by being on the var- ious teams for four successive years. Other men of 5 the Senior class who have entered athletics since they have been in High School are Jack Holmes, George Jeffery, Ivan Rummel, Homer Griffith, George Curtis, George Locey, Carleton Anderson, Homer Mitchell and Russell Freeman. Grace Carleton and Cora Adams deserve a great deal -of credit for the able way in which they have represented the class on the girls' basketball team. In other forms of activities the Senior class has been well represented by its members. After four years of diligent study, the class of '20 is about to finish its very successful High School ca- reer. We hope that future classes may be as success- ful in social affairs, politics, and athletics as the pres- ent Senior class has been. 5? , SENIGRS-Leonard I-Ioar, Lisle Shearer, Stanley Krikac, Willis Barlett, Vada Johnson, Elizabeth Powell, Holland Spur gin, Mildred Cleek.

In a very few cases it is, but the person that makes any- thing of his life on a Grammar School education has to go some. He has to be well equipped in many ways, he has to have a strong will, great ability to grasp ideas, and power to use them. There are many peo- ple who lack one quality or another. Those people need training, need to be taught fundamental rules, need the training of their abilities which they get in a higher institution of learning than a Grammar School. The High School is fitted as a stepping stone to a higher learning. Some people say that a person can go from Gram- mar School to college, but that is not the case. High Sch.ool, like Grammar School, fits one for the next step in life. Life is a small word with a big meaning, If a man goes into life without a good education he finds himself balked. The people who start to High School, -34 then drop it, do not know what they are missing. They are committing a crime against themselves that later in life they will regret. Once started, they should keep on, because a man who finishes High School has ten chances where the other fellow has two or three. Because of that truth do not stop High School, but keep on to something higher, and life will be a whole lot easier on you. Keep on, for you are doing it not only for yourself, but also for your country. We are extremely proud of the art work of this issue and wish to congratulate our staff artist, Charles Pollock. It is once in a great while than an annual gets an artist like Pollock. SCHOOL SPIRIT School spirit! Two words, three syllables, or twelve letters, but it means a whole lot to the average Chico High School student. There are some below that average and they are a detriment. Th.e fellow who rahs the loudest in the assembly yelling may not have paid his Student Body dues, his Red and Gold, or his Caduceus subscription. School spirit does not mean noise and cheers, although that is all right in its place. The great Noah lYebster defined school spirit as loyalty to school. lf you 9 dont Pay YOUT dues Hiid assessments you are not loyalg if you donit attend a game now and then you have no school spirit, if you don't take part in any activity, social, athletic, dramatic or musical, you are not loyal to your school. Your conscience will tell you Whether you are doing your share. Get into some athletics, dramatics or other ics.', It will better the school as Well as your- self. , .l-lii.

Perhaps some day we 'shall be able to afford one. D I looked at my friend in quick surprise as I always did when he read my thoughts in this way. A I-Iow could you tell what I was thinking of? I asked. Your powers of observation are positively uncanny. My friend, there was nothing remarkable about my guessing your thoughts. The town clock struck twelve. You remembered that you were hungry. You told me that you were going to buy some fruit. But, my dear fellow,', I could not help interrupt- ing, you are wandering from the question. Patience, Doctor, patience. I will arrive there presently, he replied, as he was obliged to do a dozen times a day. '4You remarked on the poorness of the fruit. I noticed that you looked at the cloudsg then down at your new spats and at the mud through which we are wading. You were thinking, 'The rain has spoiled the fruit crop and has inconvenienced every- one.' You then called my attention to your ruined- ! 40 n gpats. After this I noticed that a passing automobile caught your eye, and that you looked after it longing- ly. It was followed by a closed car. I saw you glance at the first car and then with more satisfaction at the second. After this you sighed, at the same time flig- ging deep down into your pocket. From which, of course, you deduced that I would like to have a closed car, but could not afford one. Quite simple, after I see the steps through which your conclusions were reached. Little did either of us dream at the time that be- fore the next week's close we should in reality be rich enough to own an automobile. This is but a sample of the marvelous powers of observation of my friend, Mr, H0l111Q5, XYQ lit-Q fg- gether. I am his only intimate friend and he mine. He lives on some small income, xvhile I live on the proceeds of my stories written about his successful unravelings in the world of mystery. The morning after the above conversation, I did not awaken until nearly eight o'clock. I immediately' perceived that my friend had dressed and left the apartment. This aroused my curiosity. for the pre- vious night he had announced nothing of his inten- tions. Endeavoring to pass the time until his return, I picked up the morning paper which had arrived about six olclock, and, pipe in hand, sat down to peruse its columns. 'On the front page a large headline caught my attention. Priceless Gem Mysteriously Disap- pearsf' The following news item followed: Police Detective Jones of the local department was telephoned about two-thirty this morning by Vin- cent Stone, who rooms at 934 McKinley Street. He was informed of the theft of an Indigo diamond be- longing to Stone and valued at three hundred thousand dollars. Stone alleges that until yesterday the dia- mond had been deposited in his safe deposit box at the First National Bank. At three P. M. yesterday he claims to h.ave taken the diamond home with him for the purpose of showing it to an old friend of luis by the name of McRae, whom he was expecting that night. Stone does not remember exactly what took place at this point. He believes that some discussion arose as to where h.e should put the diamond for the' night. Stone says McRae suggested putting it inside an alarm clock on his dresser. Stone agreed to this, and after putting the diamond into the clock and screwing on the back, escorted McRae to the front door -two stories down. -Stone is certain that he locked the door after him and that upon returning not more than five min- utes later, he found it still securely locked. I ' On entering, however, h.e perceived with horror that he had left the window open. He at once looked into the clock for the diamond. Then he found the gem was missing which representedpractically his en- tire inheritance. Upon entering th.e room, it was evident to the po- lice that the thief had 'entered through the window. This was not a hard feat to accomplish, as he could with slight risk have stepped from th.e roof of the adjoining apartment house into Stonels room by means of the window. All inmates of the latter building are one has been arrested, who is believed impli- under suspicion, but as yet 'no with the exception of McRae, cated in the theft.. A diamond will receive twenty thousand dollars reward with no question asked. unfortunate 'affair will .f'Anyone who returns the lt is sincerely hoped that the soon be cleared up. ' . There was now no doubt in my mind as to where Mr. Holmes had gone. ,His motto was, Do the right thing before anybody else does it -good advice, but hard to follow. just as I finished the article, he stepped into the room. ' -' '-41- Well, Doctor, h.e said, taking a chair, I suppose you have familiarized yourself. with the details of the disappearance of the Indigo diamond. I regretted to .make my inspection alone, but you were sleep-. Don't be exasperating, pleasef' said I. 'f'Ilell me -at once all that your inspection revealed. X You seem to put great confidence in my ability to solve the unknown, he replied, but this time I be- llieve that my efforts have succeeded in unfolding the .mystery to some extent, if not wholly. I am expect- ing the present possessor of th.e diamond to pay us a visit at any moment. I was too much astounded to make any comment. HI was especially interested in this casef, he re- sumed, and had some advantage over the police be- cause I know McRae personally. I am thoroughly convinced of his honesty. I-Ie receives an ample sal- ary as an automobile salesman. I-Ie is known for prompt payment of his bills, and, moreover, has three thousand dollars to h.is credit in the bank. I concluded from these facts that I must look elsewhere for the thief. r Upon entering Stone's room, I found several po- licemen and detectives making a careful survey of all possible means of escape which the roof of the adjoin- ing building offered. Upon investigation, I found that a careful examination of the room for other means of entrance h.ad not been considered by the police. In order to be certain of all my conclusions, I resolved to examine the room for other openings. My search was rewarded by the discovery of a cleverly concealed trapdoor in the ceiling of the room. which opened onto the flat roof. At first I was un- able to see how the thief could have entered by the trapdoor, accomplished his mission, and escaped inside of five minutes, without leaving anything in disorder. but upon opening the trapdoor and looking down into the room the puzzle was solved. 4'In the corner of the room with.in reach of the trap- door, leaned a transom opener, the common type. a long stick with a hook at one end. It was the work of a few seconds to seize this stick, hook the clock by the ring on top of its bell, draw it through the door. take out th.e jewel, lower the clock, replace the transom opener, and close the door. In fact. my dear XYatson. I am inclined to believe that that is just what hap- pened. The poor fellowrto whom the diamond belongs is positive that no one knew of his intention to take the stone to his room, not excepting McRae. The theft was then unplanned. Some lodger in the same build- ing was on the roof at that time for some entirely different purpose than to steal the diamond. He heard through the open window th.e conversation of the two .-42.. men in regard to where the diamond should be placed. He also heard th.em go out and lock the door. Not till then did he realize his excellent oppor- tunity to take the diamond unobserved. He well knew that the open window would blind the police. He must have known also of the trapdoor, and in order to know of this he must at one time have occupied the room into which it opens. He opened the trapdoor and being no doubt a quick-witted fellow, 'immediately saw the easy way of taking the diamond. If the theft was unplanned it was not committed by a professional crook but by some man in financial embarrassment. Another important clue that I was fortunate enough to find is a gold ringf' Here he handed it to me. ' You will note that the .diamond studding makes it of considerable value. It bears the insignia of the Army and Navy Club. Note also the small initials R. R. below the diamond. There is a slight possibility that the ring does not belong to the man who com- mitted the crime. But granting that it does, we ar- rive at the conclusion that the thief must have been a soldier or sailor, that he was probably' in financial embarrassment, that he at one time occupied Stone's room, and that h.is initials are R., R. These things tak- en collectively identify him from other men. . 'fAfter being in possession of this data, I inter- viewed the landlady of 934 McKinley Street, and re- ceived from her a complete listof the occupants of the room from which the gem was taken, since she has owned the apartments. Among them appears the name of one Raymond Roach, lieutenant in the United States army. And now if Lieutenant Roachiturns out to be our man, as I do not doubt that he will, the entire affair will be cleared up to our complete satis- faction, will it not, Doctor? I have followed your story very carefully, I re- plied, and understand it perfectly with the exception of one detail. What causes you to believe thatithe army officer in question will come here at this time? For answer he handed me the following -advertise- ment which he had inserted in all the local papers. I read: Owner of one Army and Navy Club ring bearing initials R.. R. may have same by calling at 315 Tenth Street between eight and ten o'clock, and by paying for this adf' , . As I finished reading, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Holmes handed me a pistol at the same time saying, Keep this out of -sight and do not use it unless I signal you. He opened the ,door and admitted a young and somewhat worried looking man in a lieutenant's uni- - -43- 1 form. Then he closed the door and quietly locked it. Gentlemen, began the lieutenant, , in answer, to your advertisement about the Army and I have come Navy Club ring. A very handsome piece of jewelry it is, too, in- terrupted Mr. Holmes. I sh.all be sorry to part with ' 37 it. Indeed, my friends, continued Roach, do not think that your kindness in this matter will go unre- wardedf' . Here Mr. Holmes interrupted again. f'Indeed, we do not. My friend and I are going to trouble you, Lieutenant Roach, to hand over the Indigo diamond . . . dd. which we know to be in your possession, and in a 1- tion to tell us all you know of its theft before we restore your ring to you. Needless to say, the poor fellow understood at once the trap into which he had fallen. He also saw that Mr. Holmes was not a man to be trifled with. Taking a bulky package from under his shirt he gave it to us to examine and while we did so he told a story so like that of Mr. Holmes in every detail that I will not weary my reader with its repetition. Young Roach owed several large gambling debts, He hoped to pay them with the reward for the diamond which he had intended to c had in some measure blown over. d l da s later after Roach had been han ed laim as soon as the affair Severa y- , over to the military authorities, and McRae had been set free, Mr. Holmes and I sat in our room talking over the Indigo diamond affair. I was congratulating ' ' ' fl ei Mr. Holmes for th,e twelfth time on his success, xi ici we heard a knock on the door. I admitted Mr. MCR l round, Mr. Stone presented the twenty- ae and Mr. Stone. After shak- ing hands al thousand dollars reward to Mr. Holmes. Mr Holmes, he said, deeply moved, Mr, McRae and I know that we owe to your keen mind and un- tiring energy much more than we can ever repay. Z3 Here Mr. Holmes, who above all dislikes being thanked by those he h.as served, changed the sub- ject Mr, McRae, he said, did you conie in one of thc new Bowers eight models that you are selling? Yes,,' answered McRae, on shipment. 'fAnd is it by chance a closed car? f'Yes, answered McRae again. NVell, then, Doctor, he said, turning to inc, al low me to escort you to our new automobile waitin-1 at the curb, --Margaret NYarc fl.

I have a thousand. I'll take up some government land not far from the Mexican border, put up a log cabin, get me a pony, a gun and fishing pole, and with what money I have left buy a few cows and sheep. At the end of five years, 640 acres, together with more than a hundred head of cattle, will be ours. You alone in the hills, Grace! I'll not allow it.', I don't see just how you'll help yourself. Besides, that will give me time to write those articles which I promised the 'Busy Bee Magazine' You see I can town all summer, as I need stay on the home- stead only six months in the year. It so happened that by September Grace and her be in pony, her gun and her fish pole, her few calves and sheep were settled in the shadow of 'a hill. The hill Grace hoped to own at the end of five years. All went well. She arose each morning and did her work, rode over her range., to be sure her stock were all there, hunted andvfished, painted and wrote, and grew strong both in body and mind. If she ever grew lonely she wrote a long letter to Jim, encouraging him to continue his studies. , She had some excitement. She shot a mountain lion and a deer. The old settler, her nearest neigh- bor, who lived three miles away, ,,.. helped h.er to tan the skins which made her two beautiful rugs. She caught a large salmon in the creek, and became an expert both with gun and reel. Gne day, two years later, the old settler, who went to the little village once each week for supplies, mail, and a change, came to deliver Grace's mail and sup- plies, and said: I say! Miss Grace, down to the village they do say that the Greaser Mexicans have broke loose, and they say that they be hid in our hills ready to killwe uns. Better come and stay with me an the old woman fer a Spell. Grace graciously declined, and said that she must stay and care for her place. - ' All right, but say, save them noos-papers fer me, won't ye?

THE SUCCESS OF WALTER WAKES ALTER WAKES was sitting in a big chair at the club. It was Saturday night and he was waiting for the rest of the fellows. He was a wide-awake young man, a favorite with th.e fellows, as well as with the railroad men with whom he worked. 1 Q 'ac- nga 5 Presently a group of young men came into the club room laughing and talking to. each other. When they saw Walter they gave a yell of delight and all began talking at once. How are you, Walt, old boy? I-Iow's everything? Haven't seen you all week. Oh, I'm all right, exclaimed Walte1'. Come on. Let's go up town and h.ave some fun. I-Iave a cigar around. . Monday morning came and Walter found himself broke, as usual. He was private secretary to the presi- dent of a large railroad, but his salary didn't seem to be large enough to stretch over Saturday night and Sunday. So almost every Monday he would ask the president of the railroad, Mr. Burns, for na loan to carry him over to next payday. Mr. Burns was getting tired of this, and when Walter 'asked him for a loan that morning h.e said, I'l1 let you have it this time, but if you come back here again broke, I'll- fire you. This is the last chance you will get. Mr. 'Burns had taken a great liking for the young man. In fact, Walter was almost one of the family. ....47....

But at the end' of two years he found that his fortune had gone away past the million mark. He was now one of the big men of Wall Street. He was getting tired of business and decided to go back to Los Angeles to see his old friends and Mr. Burns again. A The following week he packed his grips and iefi for Los Angeles. VVhen he arrived Mr. Burns was at th.e train to meet him. That night he gave all his old friends and the men who worked for the railroad a big banquet. It was one of the biggest successes of its kind that year. Every one who was there said that Walter surely knew how to do things right. T The next day he went around to pay the president back his thirty thousand dollars and interest. All he said whenhe handed Mr. Burns the check was, Well, I made a success at last. -George Curtis '20. FISHING .

N A LITTLE country settlement in INI0r'thCf11 Minnesota there lived a family of Swiss pCO- ' 'i ple named Vayhenger. The family was com- W2 posed of the father, mother, two daughters ,gfiiiili and two sons--all very estimable, I am sure. None of the children were married, although truly it was not fault of theirs, but more of that anon. The nearest neighbor of the Vayhengers was an English family named Marsden. In this family were th.ree beautiful daughters, Caroline, Emily and Henriet- ta, and the eldest, a son, named Horatio, who, at the opening of my story, had just brought a bride to the old farm house. Henry Vayhenger gazed often and affectionately toward the home of these three girls, and dreamed fond dreams of the time when Caroline and he would have a little home of their own. The early winter weather was perfect. A slight snow storm was falling, frost was in the air, and every- one felt a certain jubilance, felt only in the north. There was to be a dance in the village. Every lad had invited his lassie to go with h.im, and Henry in- vited Caroline. His horse was good and well groomed. His cutter and harness were clean and shining, and Caroline had almost made up her mind to say Yes, when the ques- tion was asked. ived at the dance. 'I hey danced and were They arr happy as only young lovers can be. Finally it was time for supper, and Henry hung hack. Caroline was hungry, yes, very hungry, but Henry said to her, Cal, are you hungry? Because if you're not hungry theres no use going to supper, as it costs fifty cents extra. Caroline said she was not hungry, and later said a very emphatic No to his other question. The next year found Emily a sweet girl of eight- een, and again Henry cast languishing glances in the direction of the Marsden home. This time, however, he went directly to her home, and said, Emily, you are twice as pretty as Cal, and I love you twice as much as I did her. Thank you, sir, sisters' cast-off heaux. and besides I'm to he married XYhen will you marry nic? said Emily. hut I don't talce my to John at Christmas time. Another year rolled hy, and Henrietta was attend- ing boarding school in St. Paul, some ten miles from the Marsden home. On the Saturday before Christmas. Ilenry went to see Horatio. During the visit Horatio said, I do net know what to do. I have promised llenrictta to ge u 50- after her today, but our baby, Marguerite, is ill, and I hate to leaye her. Don't worryf' said Henry, 4'I'll go after Henriet- ta. So he harnessed his horse to his sleigh, drove through the frost and cold the long ten miles after Henrietta. Henrietta was disappointed at not seeing Horatio, but. filled with the Christmas spirit, soon forgot her disappointment in her anticipation of reaching home. The horse pranced along at a good gait, the sleigh hells were ringing, and Henrietta broke out in song. Henry gazed at her admiringly. Finally he reached over and took her little hand in his, and asked her, in his very best manner, to marry him. IYhy, Henry Vayhenger, what do you mean? I marry you? Oh! how funnyf' and her laugh pealed out long and clear. Horrors! They were just passing the road that led to Henriettais home. Henry got out, took Hen- rietta's trunk out of the sleigh and put it beside the road, helped Henrietta out, and stood beside the trunk. Now, he said. Get home the best you can. I've been fooled by you girls for th.e last time. If I'm not good enough for you to marry, I'm not good enough to take you home. , But, Henry,', burst out the startled Henrietta. Good-bye, said Henry, and he drove away, leav- ing 'her forlornly sitting on her trunk by the roadside. She was angry and frightened, but there was noth- ing for her todo but tramp the th.ree miles through the snow to her home. Wfhen a tired, cold, hungry, furious Henrietta burst into the house with her storm of words, the family had a good laugh, and Horatio was sent after the trunk. i Marguerite, Horatio's daughter, grew into young womanhood. Persistent Henry wooed her only to he told, I'm sorry, but you're just a minute too late- I just promised Budd that some day-well, Ilm sorry, but you knovgfl' I Yes, I know that I'm doomed to be too late, said Henry bitterly. It was thirty years from the time he asked Caro-- line, that Isabel, Horatio's seventh daughter, burst into his home saying, 'fOh, UncleiHenry, I've just received 1'1'1y diploma from High. School. See, I'm grown up. As' Henry looked upon Isabel' in her graduation gown his heart became young. I can make you hap- py, he said. I've waited long and I must have you, for I shall go to the grave a bachelor if I can not marry you, the last of the Marsden girls. , Isabel listened, and then the ever present Marsdenf humor overtook her.

I asked, as soon as 1 had discovered him. I A VVell, sir, said Bill, I'm preparin' fer wun o' thim gladiatorial combats you read so much about. VVhat's the other kid goin' to fight with,', I asked a piece of gas pipe?', For that stick Bill was fash- ioning into the shape of a sword was as big as a fence board. i 'fQh',' said Bill, Oim goin, to do battle with 3 lionf' . A lion!,' I exclaimed. , VVh.y, sure, said Bill, Hgladiators fight lions. lWho's going to be the lion? I asked. Cedric, the Shropshire, said Bill with a grin. Cedric, the Shropshire, was an old sheep that be- longed to a man by the name of Blackmoor, and was the meanest sheep I ever saw. There was -a big maple tree in the middle of Cedric's pasture, which, whenever he didn't have anything else to do, he would run at and butt with all his might. There wasnlt a dog in 'COWIL not even Murphy's bull dog, that would venture inside Cedric's pasture. You'd better not monkey with that sheep, I warned Bill. It may be all right to fight a little thing like a lion, but when it comes to Cedric, I think you,d better forget it. Bill then called me a coward and told me to go home and get my milk bottle. By noon all the kids in town knew what Bill was going to do. After dinner everybody was on hand to see the sport. ' I I Cedric's pasture was about a half-mile out of town, so there wasn't any danger of being interrupted. The pasture was about a quarter of a mile long and about half as wide as it was long. In the middle of the field was the maple tree and on the farthest side was th.e creek. Between the creek and the tree was a straw stack where Cedric spent most of his time, and through which he had tunneled h.is way until it looked like the catacombs of Rome. Bill appeared upon the scene in full armor. He had two kettle lids for breast plates, a wash-boiler lid fora- shield, and a flour sieve for a helmet. Armed with his sword and a cumbersome salmon spear, he climbed into the ring. Cedric was lying in the shade of the straw stack -55- , 1 chewing his cud contentedly. When he saw Bill, he Swallowed his cud, sprang to his feet, and snorted with suspicion. Qrdinarily when anybody entered the pas- ture, Cedric would charge across the field without a monientis h.esitation, but Bill, all togged out in shining armor, mystified him considerably. ' Standing with his eyes staring and with his shaggy wool sticking out on his head and neck, Cedriclooked very much like a lion. He stood perfectly still until 'Bill came within striking distance. When Bill came closer Cedric backed off toward the straw stack. Wheii h.e hadjust about backed into the straw stack, Bill smote him on the head with his spear. Cedric then launched forward with a series of stiff-legged junips peculiar to a sheep, and evading Billis shield, landed heavily on Bill's bread basket. .Before Bill could get to This feet, Cedric returned to the attack, and jumping on top of Bill's prostrate form, struck him viciouslyiwith his sharp hoofs. Bill, yell- ing at the top- of his voice, drew his sword, and by gouging the sheep in th.e ribs,-managed to get to his feet. Cedric charged again, but this time Bill stepped aside, and Cedric buried his dome in the straw stack. Bill then picked up his spear and sent home a telling blow before Cedric could recover. Cedric again charged his opponent who, dropping his spear and seizing his sword with both hands, brought it down upon the ram's head, shattering his weapon to splinters. Cedric again charged against the straw stack. This time Bill, taking advantage of h.is opportunity, dived into one of Cedric's tunnels in the straw stack with Cedric behind him. The straw stack, could not stand so much excitement, how- ever, and when the gladiators were well in its center, it collapsed, filling up all the tunnels. Bill was the first to emerge from the ruin, and upon emerging, headed for the creek with all possible speed. Cedric found his way out just as Bill was half way to the creek and started in pursuit. Bill managed to keep ahead until he reached the creek where Cedric caught up to him and would have passed him if he hadn't run into Bill. VVhen Bill emerged from the creek andhad climbed the fence, he looked as if he had been through a cyclone. It was the last time Bill ever had a gladiatorial combat with a lion. -Frank Streeter, '21, ...5 6-. THE sm H, THE beauty of the Sea! Of the Sea!

Another year has rolled around and again we put before the public the organi- zations of our school. Although one or two societies have died a natural death, it is from a change in cir- crmstancc rather than from lack of spirit. The existing ones are extremelyienergetic and full of life and we call attention with pardonable pride' to the Block C Club which as a new society has proved itself a valuable asset to our athletic and social ac- tivities. If the life of a school may be judged from its organizations surely ours may be ranked among the foremost. A STUDENT BODY . The most important organization in any school is the Student Body. It is the most nearly universal, the most democratic. In its interests every student has a voice, and many of the most vital ques- tions concerning the school are brought be- fore it for settlement. 'B The Student Body in Chico High has been unusual- ly alive this year. A number of snappy meetings, seve- ral jazzy rallies, with bonfires and serpentines, and zi dance to the new students, were included in its ac- tivities.

' SENIOR CLASS OF '20 A eulogy to the Sen- iors of '20 is quite su- perfluous, and it is only because it is customary that we record on the printed page the annals of this class, whose standing has been sec- ond to none in the en- tirehistory of the school. i - Thezfe has never been a class whose girls have been fairer, or whose boys have been squarer. No other class has attained the high standard of scholarship, sportsmanship, energy and brilliancy that it has been so easy for us to attain. Throughout our history the mediocre has been con- spicuously absent and exceptional ability conspicuouslv present. The girls have set an ideal for beauty and grace that h.as been and is the pride of the School, the envy of the Juniors, the hope of the Sophomores and the adoration of the Freshmen. The boys are students, athletes and sportsmen. They have used the traditions of thgeir noble past as step- ping stones, not fetters, and leave a record of victories in scholarship and sports that stands as a monument to the past and a goal of achievement for the future. XYith due respect to the struggling athletes of the low- er classes we submit, with pardonable pride, such names as Spicer, Tyler, Freeman, Jeffery, Curtis and Mc- Nabb. Th.ese schoolmates are leaving you and going out into the world equipped with the mental and physical faculties which will enable them to cope with and solve the most intricate problems which will confront the World. , He offer you, students of the lower classes, a shining example of progress and achievement. We admonish you to strive to emulate the example of a class whose members have proved their Worth in all fields of endeavor. The future is bright, for history is an infallible prophet. The class of '20 has a record of Which, it may Well be proud. But the past will pale into in- significance compared with the future, for there is every assurance that some day a member of this class will preside at the White House, and have for the First Lady of the Land one of the charming girls of this aspiring class.

Mr. Passmore, who for the last five years has been princi- -P pal, has not been in school and the S. and favor of such societies in the O. has gradually declined' in activity until this year, when final steps were taken to disband it until the new high school was built and other conditions were more favorable.

It is officially termed the Block C Club, and the member- ship qualification is the possession- of a Block C, these Cs, being' . . 8 C CLUB r l awarded to boys who have succeeded in makin Plans for the Club were first discussed at a ban- quet at the Hotel Oaks, but noth.ing definite was done until March S, when the formal organization took place at the home of Coach Walter Williams. The main object of the society is the promotion of better athletics, although inthe O.' A. C. dance its members proved th.emselves adept in social affairs as well. One of the biggest feats the Club performed was securing the game with the Oregon Aggies. Through the persuasion and financial support of the Block Cs,', the Oregon team consented to come down from their high standard of team opponents and play the Ch.ico team, thereby giving the athletics of Chico a good one of the athletic teams. start toward real prestige in the school-World of athletics. - ' ' 'That the Block C Club is destined to be apower- ful organization with an uplifting influence on the sch.ool goes Without saying. ' Wayne Sellick was elected president, Caslyn Schvvein, vice-president, and jack Holmes, secretary- treasurer. Charter members are: George Jeffery, Harold Spicer, Henry Seaver, Cas- lyn Schvvein, Max Waters, Russell Freeman, jack Holmes, Carl Kiolstadt, Quentin Grimm, Johnny Wil- l.iams, George Curtis, Wayne Sellick, Carroll Canfield, Homer Griffith, Irvin jones and Robert Bruce. A HIGH fINKS The annual Girls' High links was held on the evening of January 30th, in the VV. G. W. Hall. Dainty decora- tions of ferns and but- terflies, refreshments, even better th.an usual, and an adorable pro- gram added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. , ' ' -64- The officers for the affair werei Elizabeth Chey- ney, president, and Alma jones, secretary-treasurer. I AND O There is one organi- , zation in school that has its full quota of pep and efficiency. Since its organization three years ago it has gone on record as be- 5' V' ing one of the liveliest and most enthusiastic societies in school, the I. and O. Club. T For two years it has supported a French orphan. whom it adopted during the war. This year it has been unusually active socially. Several initiations, a number of snappy programs, two or three dances, and an Irish dance put on at the Majestic for the Parent- Teachers' Association, have been in their social cal- endar. Margaret Devine deserves special credit for train- ing th.e girls for the Irish dance. Although very diffi- cult, the dance was beautifully executed. A candy sale was held at the theater the evening of the P. T. A. benefit, and the proceeds were devoted to the support of the French orphan. A The society this year boasts seventy members. .

In the winter of l9l8, Mr. Frank L. Adamson succeeded in arousing the interest of some of the boys who are musically inclined to such an extent that the C. H. S. Band was formed. This year it passed from the leadership of Mr. Adamson to that of Mr. Arthur Winter of the faculty. ' Even if it has not produced as many jazz thrills as it did last year, it has furnished mL1SiC f01' High School rallies, games and parades.

' , DRAMATIC CLUB History is constantly changing. I Issues in ' the ascendancy today are forgotten tomorrow, and school history is no exception. A few years ago, Chico High was deeply enthusiastic about dramatics. Every class 7 and society delved into its mysteries. 'A short-story club was formed, which later developed into a-club for the sole purpose of studying dramatics. Since then it has made a splendid record and was both an artistic and financial asset to the sch.ool until the present year. Now the tide of dramatics has ebbed 5 1 :-':. :V -:1:- -. .,-:, ' ,J .

It has been the custom in years past to post the honor roll at the end of each quarter, but an innovation was made this year when at a special assembly th.e A students were presented with commendation cards in the presence of the faculty and entire school. That this furnishes an added in- centive for study is proved by the noticeable increase in the number receiving A grades each quarter.

RED AND GOLD The organization that really more than any other has its finger on the pulse of school life is the Red and 'Gold staff. It is through the school paper. too. that the school has its greatest opportunity to speak to the public. Its exchanges come from every part -5 5... of the state and provide an excellent means of getting into touch with other schools. The Red and Gold originated from a typewritten sh.eet put out by the Junior English classes in 1916 as a practical lesson in news writing and has resulted in a large four-page paper with every promise of greater improvement. Previous to this year the staff and the class in news writing were under the supervision of Miss Cur- rie, but for the last two semesters Mr. Rinker has been class adviser. Several new features were introduced this year, including a literary department edited by Katherine Waters, and an. Ole joe Finki' column by Shoes Donahue, wh.ich has been one of the most eagerly read portions of the paper. ' Although a number of the staff are graduating Seniors, there are enough left to insure, with the help' of a few new recruits, the future success of the Red. and Gold. - ' 4nv' A ' X qfi St' 1 .

' ' ' r 1 r 1 ' 1 5 . 1 I Q u 1 f - , qcafi Kiolstadt fzop i an THLETICS performs one of the most import- ant functions in Chico High School. It makes life better, brigh.ter, and it has made more enthusiasm around the school this year than there would have been if there had 'f ..l N. .gglfligt ----f- P L . OGG.. 1 A been no sports. Athletics helps to build up the body and mind. It also gives one more self-reliance and courage. . .The war has proved to th,is school and to every other institution what athletics means to a school. The men who took part in athletics in their high school and college' careers made the best soldiers. This shows that athletics is absolutely essential in any sch.ool. Chico High has always set a high standard in athletics, not only for high scores but for clean play in sports. Chico this year had the best coaches, who inspired enth,usiasm among all of the fellows- The teams should show their utmost respect to the coaches, Mr. Blount, Mr. Williams and Miss Bernreuter. They have worked doubly in putting out teams, because they had- so many new recruits. Although we had bad luck in some lines of athletics, our new men played like veterans and made good in every game. CHICO VS. WOODLAND This was the first game of American football played this year. As the practice had not consisted of any too strenuous work, because of the fact that they lacked opposition, they h.ad 'very little hope of win- ning, but every man had the fight in him, which showed on Qctober l2. The fact that our men were new to the game and that it was their first tangle, made them a little ex- cited. In the first two minutes Woodland did their work by rushing us off our feet, making sa touchdown. The men regained their courage and after that played like veterans. The line held well, but lacked enough opposition and we could not make our plays go. The score stood 7 to O the first quarter. A The second quarter started out well, our men rush- ing Vxfoodland to their ten-yard line and going strong. when Vlfoodland got away with. a punt and put us on our twenty-five-yard line. From then on the ball see- sawed up and down the field the rest of the quarter. There were good tackles made by both sides. The first half ended with the ball on lVoodland's twenty- yard line. The second half looked promising with Canfield 72- working his men at quarter with great skill. Our noble center, Tiny Griffith, worked well in his old stall and was on their trail all the time. Our fullback, Bill Schwein, was up and at ,emall through the game. During the second half the ball see-sawed up and down the field. Tyler, our right half, worked well in squeeze plays. The game ended in WOOdH11d,S favor, with a score of 7 to O. Chico's main weak points were that her play- ers lacked knowledge and practice. Much credit should go to our coach, Mr. Blount, who had worked hard and faithfully to put out. a foot- ball team for Chico High. The following men took part in the game: Ends, Rummel and Locey, tackles, Kiolstad, Mitchell, guards, Curtis and Jeffery, center, Griffith, fullback, Bill Schwein. CHICO, 65 WOODLAND, 46 October 28th, on their own grounds, we played our second game with our rivals in football. This game was played at a disadvantage to our team because some of our men did not catch the train. VVe journeyed to VVoodland with just ,eleven men. AThe first quarter started off with our line holding well and every man rarin' to go. Vlfoodland, getting the ball, went over for a try and --13- kept up the good work until intercepted by Pulley, who was a comparatively new man at the game, but who was surely doing his part tackling. The line had some new men in itxwho did very well for their first scrimmage. Jones, a new man,,was in good form and stopped his opponent every time. Th.e first half ended with a score of 46 to O. The second half started off on the ten-yard line, with the ball see-sawing up and down the field. Our gang h.eld them fine the second half and shut out further scores from our opponents. I ' Chico was taught a severe lesson- and they profited by it. But it was a great game at that. r , NORMAL VS. CHICO HIGH ' Thanksgiving Day there was one more game of rugby played on the turf between Normal and Chico High School. The teams, consisting of men from both schools and their alumni, played with the same old spirit as in by-gone days. W - , The first half was a fight from start to finish, and the ball see-sawed from one end of the field to the other. High School kept the ball mostly in their opponents' territory and rushed them hard. After a scrum on the ten--yard line, the ball was passed out on our opponents' side. Sharp, Normal's half, passed it out to Hill, who made a splendid run down the field and went over' for a try. They failed toconvert and the half ended with a score of 3 to O. At the-opening of the second h.alf, High School came back full of jazz and in their minds was the determi- nation to win the game. Witli. snappy passes and good team work, our old star, Dutch VVebber, went over for a try, but we again failed to convert. Canfield, our worthy back-field man, after a long run went. over for another try, which was converted. This put a lot more pep into the men, and they played harder and as usual kept the Normalites guessing. Pulley and Jeffery played very well, made some good runs and displayed wonderful work in tackling. Bill Schwein, fullback, oneof our stellar athletes, fig- ured very well in kicking, which broke up many gains for Normal. High's scrum held together better than Normal's and worked many dribbling rushes which were hard to break up. The teams were evenly balanced, and both dis- played a good game of rugby. SACRAMENTO VS. CHICO It was a Hslaugh,ter, we admit it, we were out- played in every way. We will tell the score, we are not ashamed of it. VVhen only eleven men go through sore and broken, there is need for substitutes, but we did not have any. Some of the regulars were disquali- fied because of low marks, others missed the train. The game was a walk-off for Sacramento. Again we say itls not a disgrace to be beaten by a team th.at has had years of practice, a team that has defeated colleges. The sad news was, Sacramento 86, Chico l3. BOYS' BASKET BALL Chico's basketeers this year were a scrappy bunch. They proved their fighting qualities in every game they played. In several of their games th.ey were opposed by superior teams and a number of times took the game away from their opponents by sheer fighting pluck. None of the men were afraid to jump into a scrimmage, and this all-round tendency to go any- where on the floor for the ball always promised a hot. fast game for the other team. The sportsmansh.ip of this team is also to be com- mended. They won or lost with the same cheerful spirit, and visiting teams have several times said that they liked to play Chico because if we won we did not crow, and if we lost we did not crab. Then, too, the team received the support of the school. Th.ere is no question in the minds of the players that the winning of the first Oroville game the harditest on the gridiron and come out bruised, was due to the burst of enthusiasm in the last two BASKET BALL-Freeman, Tyler, Schwein, Hintz, Spicer, Mc Nabb, Xvilliams, Blount Cc-oachp minutes of play, which enabled them to. run a string of eight goals in that time, 'deciding the game for Chico. 1' -- Th.is year's team includes: Schwein, captain, Ty4 ler andzp'-Williams,' managers, Tyler, right forward, Spicer, left forward, Freeman, center, Williams, right guard, Schwein, left guard, subs, McNabb, Hintz and Moore. PRINCETON, OCTOBER 11 After the Chico team had practiced twice they went forth to meet Princeton in a practice game on th.eir home floor. The Princeton team had had practice for five weeks and proceeded to run a big score before the Ch.icoites could get in tune with the speedy atmosphere of the evening. Final score was Princeton 38, Chico 20. NORMAL NOVEMBER 3 , The long-standing scrap between High and Normal was fought again November 3, with all honors going to High School. Score 40'-18. ' OROVILLE NOVEMBER 8 This is the sensational game which will live in Chico's ath.letic history for years to come., The game started with Oroville making a quick run of goals, and by the last of the second half the game was considered . P lost. Then the despairing wail of our rooters, who out- numbered those' of the opposing team, arose to a spirited roar and under its lifting influence the Chico men woke up, stretched themselves and ran a dozen field goals in three minutes and took the game amid the almost hysterical yells of the home rooters. Score, 29-24. , SUTTER CITY NOVEMBER 14 ' This game was played on the Normal floor, and it can safely be said that Chico defeated itself. From the starting jump the Chico players could not th.row goals. Freeman at center wasn't as tall as usual, Tyler and Spicer weren't up to standard at forward, guards didn't block as many passes. They were all to blame and admitted it cheerfully afterwards. This game was to' have been a League game, but because of Sutter City's protest on account of the Nor- mal floor it was considered a practice game. Score, 16-14. . MARYSVILLE DECEMBER 5 Marysville tripped up to Chico December 5, and a few hours later tripped back minus a League game. The Chico players had no trouble with th.eir opponents, and the outcome was not in doubt at any stage of the game. Freeman and Spicer are credited with most of I T 1 I 1 2 5 BASKET BALL-Schroeder, Carleton, Adams, Bernreuter Ccoachb, Brown, Evans, Morgan, Brandt Chico's goal, while the co-operation of Tyler, forward, and Schwein and Williams, the two guards, did much to keep the many Marysville rooters silent during the playing. Score, Chico 29, Marysville 13. GRIDLEY DECEMBER 12 This game has been termed the slide out con- test. Gridley has the best dance floor in Northern Cali- fornia and played our team on that floor December 12. The result was comical for both teams, but Gridley's practice on a slippery floor told, and the score went against Chico. Chico 21, Gridley 32. - SUTTER CITY JANUARY 9 Sutter took advantage of the chance we offered her to play a league game on the Oroville court by beating Chico by a few points in a fast game in Oro- ville, January 9. The teams were evenly matched and Sutter City had to earn the lead of the few points which gave her the game. - RED BLUFF JANUARY 10 - At Red Bluff's invitation, the local team journeyed thither January 10, and gave Red Bluff the game of its life. It was the-fastest game ever played on the Red Bluff court, the outcome being in doubt from be- ginning ,to end. At the end of the 40-minute period the score-keepers got together and decided that Red Bluff led by one goal! After the game Red Bluff served a banquet to the Chicoites and gave them a dance afterwards. ' Chico 14, Red Bluff 16. i- OROVILLE JANUARY 16 The League game between Oroville and Chico was a whirlwind of a scrap. Chico rooters were there by the score and endeavored to duplicate the first game with Oroville by their hearty support. It can be said that Chico played a good game 'and put forth all their efforts from first to last. It was one of those peculiar games that no one understands. Ch.ico put up a first-class game and lost. iVVe won't try to ex- plain. ' .i. NORMAL JANUARY 16 The last game of the season was with Normal. These husky scrappers had whipped the High School stars. It was early foretold that a game between them would be a fast one. A'good crowd of rooters was present on both sides. As had been foreseen, it was a fast game. The Normalites played well, and the High School players played with them. At the end of the period the score- keepers differed and the game was given to the High ' -7 8- ' 1 TRACK TEAM-Hamilton, Davis, Bartlett, Strode, Locey, Williams Ccoachb, Grimm, Murdock, Curtis, Schwein, Bickley, Ossenbriggen, Boydston, Allinger, Jackson, Streeter, Collins, Williams. School, ten minutes later thedecision was reversed and the game was given tofNormal. The question is still in. doubt, but the silver cup. which was donated b' th business men of the town as a trophy between ,y e the schools, reposes peacefully on the Normal shelves. BIGGS NOVEMBER 21 'thout su port with the A The team went to Biggs wi p , exception of the coach, a taxi-driver, two loyal High School supporters and the Normal Training Sch.ool h . basketeers. They had no rooters. Per aps it because the Training School team beat the was Biggs Grammar School, but the fact remains that Biggs High also came out at the little end of the horn to the tune of 23 to 18. It was a fast game and thoroughly enjoyed by all who witnessed it. Chico 23, Biggs 18.

GIRLS' BASKET BALL Starting with only two old members on the team, th irl basketeers of C. H. S. were at first at a great C 3 disadvantage, but with the perseverance characteristic of C. H. S. they developed into a fast and snappy team. Aft havin had only two days' practice, a chal- er g lenge was received from Princeton for a practice game. The challenge was accepted, but as only one result can follow a game in w of practice and the other side only days, a one- 'ded score was the result of this game. Not being disheartened by this, the girls worked harder than ever, and a practice game with Normal followed. The game was played on Normal's own floor, and for their benefit we will refrain from men- tioning the score. After th.ese two games, the permanent team was se- lected and the League games began. The first was with Groville, but, alas! Luck knocked at 0roville's door and the C. H. S. girls were defeated with a close hich one side has had weeks score-24-22. The next game on Chico's program came with Marysville. VVe will not mention any of our plays, as i 1 -so- BASEBALL TEAM-Venos, Patterson, Blount Ccoachj, Mitch ell, Bruce, Carmack, Mackey, Adams, Canfield, Brayton, Jones it is against our principles to blow our own horn, but k ount- we will say that the score-board showed mar s am ' to lO for them and 39 for us. mg . , U It has long been against the principles of Chico ' h High .to offer excuses for a lost game, but in t e case of our last game, and the only one played with ' lled to Gridley, one must be given. VVe were compe play on a polished dancing floor. It is known to all what a disastrous result there was for us. . This game with Gridley was the last of the League games, and it was thought by all th.at it would h r- complete our basketball season, but much to t e su prise and delight of the girls, an invitation was re- ceived from Red Bluff, in which our presence was re- quested at a practice basketball game to be held be tween the Red Bluff and the Chico teams. The in- vitation was accepted. Upon reaching Red Bluff we met a cordial welcome, but they quietly and firmly showed us their superiority in playing. Jf 'So ended our basketball season. INTERCLASS MEET A On April 7 and 8, Chico High School held the an- nual interclass meet. Cwing to the fact that the men had not been in training very long some of the distance ,runs were cut down. l be inning of the track season prospects At tie g looked rather dark, but during the interclass meet the men showed up pretty well. Qnly four men who were on last year's track team f th team is made- have come back this year. Most o e ua of new material 1 . The interclass meet was won by the juniors by a score of 87 points. The Sophomores came second with 31 points, Seniors Z2 points and Freshmen 7 points. -1,..i---11 SUTTER CITY VS. CHICO Chico High. School won her first victory in track Saturday, April lO. Our oldest rival, Sutter City, was close from beginning to the victim. The meet was end. Captain Bill Schwein was the individual star of He won the lOO and 220-yd. dashes and the the meet. broad jump. At the close of the meet, Chico had the big end of a 72 to 50 score. GRIDLEY VS. CHICO Gridley met Chico on the local oval Saturday, April l7. Gridley was supposed to have one of the fastest teams in the N. C. H. S. A. L., but she met her doom at the hands of the Chico lads. Woods was Gridley's star man. He won the 50 yd. dash in the fast time of 522- from Bill Schwein ..g2.. - i He also won the broad jump from Schwein with a leap of 20 feet and 8 inches. Grimm was the h.eavy point winner for Chico, win- ning the mile and shot put. He also took second in the half-mile. The score was tied two or three times during the meet. The winner of the meet was in doubt until after the broad jump and mile were run off. At the close of the meet the score stood 72 to 61 in favor of Chico. - ' BASEBALL The last three years Chico High has put out a cham- pion baseball team of the N. C. H. S. A. L. This year the baseball team has done exceptionally well because most of the men are Freshmen. They are fortunate in having two coaches, Mr. Blount and Mr. VVilliams, who are old timers and know th.e game. CHICO VS. O. A. C. The Oregon Agricultural College team, better known to most of the fans as Oregon Aggies, were given a thrill of their lives when the C. H. S. Alumni nine al- mostwon their game. This was one of the best games played on the High School campus for many years. ' . Bullock, who used to be on the mound for High School three years ago, tossed the pill to the Aggies. He pitched such a wonderful game that the Aggies had to put in their best pitcher. Hughes, the first man on the mound, was hit all over the field, the Chico boys getting three runs from him. Lefty Miller, the best side Wheeler of ther Northerners, was put into the action and the worst of it for Chico was he only let one run come in. The best player that the Aggies had was Hubbard, who played third. He is an All-American tackle and is con- sidered a wonder by all who see him work. On the other side, the third base was held down by Jack Holmes. For several years he has been on the High School team, and he made some wonderful plays throughout the game, as did Canfield, playing left field and receiving two long hits from the Aggies. The second,'short and first baseman on the Aggies' team pulled off two fast double plays. On the other hand, jack Holmes on th.e Chico team pulled off a double unassisted, and another was credited to Bill Sharp and Lloyd Brooks. The turning point, where Chico lost the game, was the moment Hubbard, Oregonis third baseman, knocked a three-bagger to center field. The score ended, Chico 4, Oregon Aggies 9. . ..g3.. CHICO VS. MARYSVILLE y ' The second League game of the season was played on the Chico High School campus between C. H. S. and Marysville. Although Marysville is one of the strongest teams in the League, they went down to defeat before the Chico boys, who had been practicing hard and played the game every minute. Canfield proved himself ap worthy pitcher by fan- ning eleven men and getting away with two hits, which put the Chico lads on their feet. The game was O-O at the end of the second, when Chico was at bat. Adams made an out by hitting a fly to first. Venos walked and went to second by Patter- son's hit through Carlin. Bruce met his defeat when he hit a liner to third. Brayton up, made first on an error, filling the bases. Canfield up in a pinch, and showed well by making a double, scoring three runs. Jones went to the bat, getting a double and scoring Can- field. The score ended in the third with Chico 4-O. Chico made one more run in the fourth on an er- ror, a sacrifice, a walk and a single by Bruce. In the sixth, Marysville got up a little pep and thought they were going well when Canfield walked the only man during the game. Two runs were scored while the ball was being juggled around in the field. jordan was caught on second while taking a nice little sleep, ending his pleasant dreams. Chico made one more run in the seventh, a walk, a sacrifice' and two singles by Brayton and Canfield. Marysville got its th.ird and last run in the eighth after Vlfalton was out. Carlin got a lucky hit over third, reaching first. C. H. S. came back with a big bang, sending four runs across the plate. The bases being filled by an error, a single and a man hit by the pitcher, Canfield got up and hit his little three bagger, clearing the bases. This was th.e longest hit of the season. The game ended by a score of 10 to 3 in favor of Chico. N. C. H. S. A. L. The big N. C. H. S. A. L. meet will be held May l5. at Biggs. Owing to the fact that all the Caduceus work must be in before that date the results of the meet can- not be given here. Sutter City now holds the annual trophy. The trophy is the big Fiesta Arborea Cup. The Chico team has captured both the Sutter City and the Gridley meets. As the Gridley team is ru- mored to be one of the fastest in the League. Chico's prospects are rath.er bright for sending a winning team to the meet. About ten or eleven other schools will enter teams in the meet besides Chico. ' ..g4... CHICO vs. GRIDLEY The first league game of the season vvas played with Cfridley on March 26. The game was rather slovv for the first five or six innings, the Gridley boys getting the best of the game by a majority of 7 to 5. The game Went along smoothly for the vvhole game until Chico came to the bat at the end of the ninth, the score still being 7 to 5 in Gridley's favor. The first man up was Mitchell, who struck out. Carmack next met his downfall, also at the bat. The next man up was Adams, Who knocked a little fly to the second baseman, who fum-- bled, leaving Adams on first. Canfield, the next man up, vvho fanned l8 men previous to this, made a nice: little three bagger, scoring Adams. Babe Venus up, gets a walk and steals second. A man on second and. third with Bruce up. Bruce singled through second, scoring Canfield and Venus. There the game ended, With. the game that up to ten minutes before was Cfridley's, novv Chico's. The score ended 8 to 7. A NEW VERSION 'Tis your English you should heed- Try again. If at first all F's your meed, Try again.

' ' ZS QAlma jonesj Dancingstill reigns as Chief Joy at High. School, although this rule is a little restricted by the Social Calendar. i This Calendar is a document invented and adopted by the Social Committee. It provides for only one dance a month, and permits each class to give only one dance during the whole school term. In former years each class gave a dance once a semester, or as often as they could raise th.e money for one. FRESHMEN RECEPTION :Ns usual the first affair of thc social season ix the Freshman reception. Un the night of November 7, thc Student llodi President, Harold Spicer, in his usual cloqucm man ner, welcomed the class of '23, Rayinond llonot responded for the Freshmen.

Charles Weahunt Before the regular grand march, which. was led by President Harold Spicer, the Freshmen had a grand march in which each had an upper classman for a partner. Every Freshman agreed that this was more funf, After th.e grand marches, dancing held sway until l2 oiclock when the little dears went sadly homeward in their wrinkled party dresses, but not caring in the least. They had had the time of their sweet young lives. - i SENIOR DANCE The Seniors were hosts at a delightful dance in the Armory on December 23, the last thing before the holidays. , Due to the kindness of the Kappa Alpha Pi fra- ternity, who were hosts at a dance in that hall on the 22d, their decorations were left up for the Senior dance. A green canopy of mistletoe and ferns made the low ceiling, while the walls were banked with ChfiS'f- mas trees. AN large, lighted tree occupied the center of the hall. A ' A , ' ' Music was furnished by a seven-piece orchestra, and the dance was declared to be a huge success and one long to be remembered. .T...l .. JUNIOR HOP ' The Juniors gave a successful dance in the Armory January 9. S Theimusic was of th.e best and although the crowd was not as large as it might have been still almost everyone had a good time. The hall was very iprettily decorated with stream-A ers of purple and white, while the class numerals occu- pied a conspicuous placeion the stage. FRESHMAN PARTY The Freshmen had a goodlittle time all their own at a Thanks-giving party given at High School.

Although these were not school affairs, so many of our boys are members of the Legion that it makes these dances as interesting to us as our school dances. These dances were given in the Armory and were always attended by a large delegation of High. School students. , GIRLS' STUDENT LEAGUE RECEPTION Girls Student League gave its usual reception to the Freshman girls on the afternoon of Qctober 2. Each Freshie had an older class girl to introduce her and make her feel at home. After listening to a splendid program they spent the rest of the afternoon in dancing. Refreshments were 1 served during the after110OI1. Anoth.er reception of the same order was given the January Freshmen on February 26. I AND O INITIATION PARTY The I and O Club initiated thirty members March 20, at an initiation party in the NV. O. XY. Hall. ' Everything from the decoration to the eats was de- clared a great success. A very clever program was rendered, the most important feature being a short sketch, The Bachelor. After the program, speeches were made by the President of the Club, and by newly initiated members. Then everyone spent the rest of the evening dancing. C CLUB DANCE The renowned Qregon Agricultural College base- ball team was royally entertained at a dance given by the CH Club on the evening of the big day, March 25. The hall was tastefully decorated in the colors of both schools, orange and gold, and red and gold: the different colors meeting in the center of the hall. sym- bolic of the spirit of the day. The music was exceptionally good and won many favorable comments from the dancers. Everyone did his best to see that the O. A. C. fellows had a good time and they succeeded if one can judge from one man's opinion when he said, It's the best time we've had since we left home. The foregoing constitutes the extent of our social activities up to the time this annual goes to press. We have, however, some promises of more good times be- fore graduation, among them being the Sophomore Dance and Senior, Farewell, and perhaps a Frosh Frolic. in- 1. 1.

It A started as a Ford usually does, with a clat- QI E? H1 ter and a bang. As soon as every one had some line on what was what, things started down the long and weary track of nine months of scholarly graft. Priricipal Passmore gave the usual talk to the rookies on good behavior. He also emphasized some of his talk for the benefit of some of the other stu- dents in general. Freshies of 1923 exceeded all other classes. Some bunch.. Football started with. a rush this year, but ended with a bang. Some of the old bunch turned up for the new year. The school had to shape arrangen1entS to Change its shell, so on October 18 a new High. School bond issue was passed. Hurrah! We get a new H1- One of the last year's faculty members brought back a bride this year. George Blount was the lucky man. Basketball started with good prospects for the championship. Chico High again revived the old serpentine of foot-- ball fame for the bond election. Some time. NVe got the bonds. Ha! Remember the old Dramatic Club? Well, it came to life this year under the direction of Han: Hintz. Some lusty plans were made, but-. , The Freshies got their semi-annual treat this year 'on November 7. They had a real time. Some of our girls can win prizes-what say! Irma Edgar got one at a masquerade on October 31. There's some class to us. We h.ave prize-winners. T Thanksgiving game of football has been again re- vived after three years of sleep. We pl-ayeldf lNormal, --95-- W . .rf 'J ' ' got the bacon and the goat with a score of 9-3. Mr. Durkee, former Hi student, spoke to us last fall, asking for our help on the new bond issue for good roads. He got our help and also the bonds. Our first excursion to Qroville to watch the basket ball games between G. H. S. and C. H. S. The boys of C. H. S. beat, but the girls lost. Too bad. Cham- pionship for girls gone this year. Inter-class physical education football games cre- ated some excitement this year. The Seniors gave their dance this year just before Christmas, and it was a social success. The deco- rations were fine. Every one enjoyed h.imself. Seniors! Rah! Rah! Seniors! The juniors gave their scud on January 9. The High Constitution got a couple of new addi- tions this year as usual. The girls staged a .candy sale and made quite a sweep. Nearly caused a few funerals and broke some of the boys up in business. Second semester election came off this year with none ofthe old pep. Very quiet. Davis is our Presi- dent for the second half year. One bright spot in Hi School activities is the co- operation of the American Legion and their good dances each month. Hi Jinks pulled their regular stunts this year. I-lad an exciting time. New semester begins February 2, 1920, with many new Freshies to come in. Hi .links catne again and every girl had a good time. Several of the young ladies of our school helped pull a fashion show. They were declared a great success. Four of our famous athletes received sweaters for four successful years of athletic honors in lliglt School. A new club was formed in school, composed of all men who had received Block C's for athletic etttleztvor. Mr. llfilliains managed to get a game with H. ft. C. Lots of interest was aroused and tlte old grandstazitl groaned under its load. O. -'X. C was given a hard fight for its victory. .Xfter the game that night, tif: Block C Club entertained them at a dance. They: enjoyed themselves greatly. Baseball prospects look bright this year. liirst games are successes for our men. Ends our classification of events in school lite on account of book going to press. The little children wi' H1 School have now entered upon the last qtiartcr wi. thls YCHV- Pl'C172ll'ZlllOll is going on for L'XllIlll1l1lllt'1 so events are few from now on.

IN MEMORIAM To Chico Hi School came a youngster, Fresh and verdant as the springtime, Young and foolish ,was this youngster. He had come in search of learning, Come unto our institution, Come in quest of knowledge had he. And he found it, yea, he found it! With much jack his jeans were laden, Many kopecks had he with him, For he had a Wealthy mamma, And h.is papa was a minister. When he appeared on the horizon Looming up with greenish splendor, Chico Hi gave shouts of welcome. Scoop and Red and Slick and Spicer Were the first to greet the stranger. Him they taught to play draw poker, African golf and black jack taught Till th.ey shore him of his splendor, Cleaned him of his last lone kopeck Eien unto, his shirts and collars, To his B. V. D.'s they cleaned him. Thus did come to grief our hero, Mud in name and nature was he. him, Seen in Front of the Mitchell Domicile Near Durham Has no fenders, seat made of plank, Burns-lots of gas and dern hard to crank. , Carburetor busted half Way through? Engine ,missing-hits on tvvo, Only three years old-four in the spring, Has shock absorbers 'n everything, Ten spokes missin', front axle bent, All four tires punctured, ain't Worth a cent, Got lots of speed-will run like the deuce, Burns either oil or lemon juice. If you want this car inquire within, Helluva good Ford for the shape she's in. Mr. Blount fin chemistryj- What kind of appara- tus is this, Paul? Paul Singer- This is one of Boob 'McNutt's de- vices, and I just wanted to see if it really would work.

Mr. Cross is very fond of candied fruits, and when absorbing the aforementioned lunch the other day, he came upon two tempting tid- bits. He promptly devoured them. That evening, after riding home on his trusty Sears-Roebuck special, he was astounded, on looking into the family mirror, to behold a bright yellow image peering from the glass into his distended eyes. Upon making inquiry of his spouse he discovered that he had eaten two globules of oleomargarine coloring, churned the coloring through his system while riding his noble one-man-power, twin-- one down South Chestnut, thus accounting for his changed physiognomy. --. i 1 Student - Miss Hinsdale, did you hear the thunder P Miss H.-'flqheard some noise, but I thought it was the study hall.
