In dedicating the Caduceus of 1950, as in years past, we have taken it upon ourselves to choose a person whom we feel to be deserving of the recognition of Chico High School. There- fore, as an expression of our gratitude we dedicate the Caduceus of 1950 to our counselor and friend, Richard Nunes. We, the Caduceus Staff. feel sure that We are representing the entire student body and faculty when we dedicate our book to you, Mr. Nunes. There have been countless times when, faced by some unforeseen obstacle, we have rushed to you, seeking your help and advice. At no time have you turned your back on us, no matter how great or trivial our problem, Through your patience and unswerving determination, many of us have overcome our diffi- culties and have been inspired to reach for higher goals. Your unfailing response to our pleas for help have often given us that all-important desire for greater achievements. - And thus, Richard Nunes, for your valuabe help in leading young people toward ,fuller and richer lives, and more important, your devoted friendship to the students of Chico High School, the Caduceus of 1950 is dedicated to you. M14 and Mir! Caduceus Following the tradition established several years ago, the annual contest for Mr. and Miss Caduceus was held this spring. You, the Student Body of Chico High School, showed an over- whelming amount of spirit in making your choice, lt is with great pride that we now present the two whom you have chosen to hold this title, Harold Ellis and Mardell Brooke . Mardell has been known to all of us for her sweet disposition and ready smile. Her position of head yell-leader this past year has enabled many of us to know and admire her more and more. Hal's ready smile and outstanding athletic ability have won for him the friendship and admiration of all. It is with pride that we honor Mardell andixl-Ial as Mr. and Miss Caduceus for 1950!

The graduating Spirits can be well assured that they are leaving their Alma Mater in competent hands when the Class of '51 assume their roll as Seniors next year, for they are ambitious, enthusiastic leaders with many new and wonderful ideas for our school.

The Sophomore girls showed their school spirit by presenting the winning skit at the annual GSL. Hiulinks, and it was the Sophomores who were given all the top costume honors. The Sophomores dem- onstrated their enthusiasm by not only cheering as hard as they could for the school teams, but by taking part themselves as well: the boys providing most of the material for the B team-s, and many of the girls taking part in after-school sports. Their enthusiasm was not for sports alone, however. It was Sophomores who were presented with some of the top essay honors. Page 5 6 Are you going to the Odd Ball? It's a Sophomore-sponsored Student Body dance, and it's going to be wonderfull True to expectations, the Odd Ball was a deiinite success, only proving again that the Sophomores were tops in school spirit. Under the guidance of Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Howard as coun- selors, the Sophomores drew their year to a close with a sense of accomplishment. and a knowledge that the year had been one of which they could be justly proud. Chico High School may well look to the Sophomore class if it wishes to see one of the Hnest examples of school spirit ever shown, 1'l'cm l'ir-lure!

They started the season much as expected but under the guiding hand of Coach Ralph Hensley, they seemed to catch Hre and went on to represent our school by defeating one favored team right after another. Although the team did Hnally lose out on the championship, they gained a great deal of revenge for this by defeating the champions from Redding, l3-12, in their final game of the season.

'F' Footb ll The football crowds gathered early on Costar Field this year because the varsity game was preceded by an almost equally crowd pleasing attraction. This, of course, was the mighty B team. The junior Panthers battled their way through a very impressive season despite the fact that they were subdued by the Wolves from Redding in a close, hard-fought game. Their games featured thrilling long passes. line break-away running, and hard blocking and tackling in the line which is exactly what the rabid Chico rooters love to see. With the exception of their one loss, Al Schlueter's and Elmer lVlartin's charges rolled up large scores against most of their opposition and with players like these wearing our red and gold, the football future looks rosy for Chico High. lfront row: Hunerluvh, Uogifs, Uornick, Furr, Long, Hanchey, Hooker, Curr, Hzirdesty, Me-rlo, Silva.

Stupendous! These mild adjectives describe Chico High's 1949-1950 cagers. Although pre-season picking placed them near the cellar, the high flying Panthers obviously didn't know this, for they racked up the first undefeated league season since Coach Al Schlueter's arrival at CHS, besides avenging a football loss to Christian Brothers by crushing that club by a sizeable score. But this was only the beginning for the invincible Panthers, for the best was yet to come. By winning the Big Five League championship, Chico received a bid to the fourth annual Tournament of Champions, held in San Francisco. Then the fun began, Chico emerged victorious over Salinas to come home Northern California Champs. In League scoring, Chico placed three men among the top ten, Hal Ellis went on a last minute scoring rampage to cop second place. J. B. Wilson ended the season in fourth place, directly in front of George Maderos. Two Chico players were chosen to be on the all-confer- ence flrst string ive, George Maderos, forward, and Hal Ellis, center.

With their spirits high after a win over the highly regarded Christian Brothers of Sacramento, our Cubs started league play against Lassen. By virtue of a loss to Lassen the Cubs dropped to the cellar where, according to the experts, they were scheduled to stay. Suddenly, with spirit increasing all over the school, our B team came to life and climbed out of the cellar. Although it is not shown in their season's record, our 'AB's showed Hghting spirit which should insure Chico's share of basketball victories in the future.

Throwing one of the strongest nines in CHS history at Big Four foes, Hank Sigel's boys clinched the victor's crown early by capturing their Hrst six league encounters. Sophomore twirler Frankie Merlo threw a no-hitter at Redding to open the league campaign, then went on to hurl goose-egg cantos at Oroville and Red Bluff. His sparkling performances were backed up by Ray Eggleston and Ken Kaiser, a couple of pitchers good enough to hurl Hrst-string on any other club in the circuit. Boasting an excellent defensive team, the Panther infield of Quiring, Sylvers, Hall, and Rhien compares favorably with any in the state. The outer garden of Boone in left, Easley in center, and Brown, Nystrom and Lampman alternating in right provided plenty of punch and speed for the Chico cause. Junior Hall, diminutive third baseman, Big Dick Quiring, and receiver Yogi Boyer led the Panther hit parade with stratospheric batting averages.

As explained by head baseball coach, Hank Sigel, the JV's are not out to see how many games they can win, but are grooming themselves for future varsity berths. Across the diamond from the JV's, the Freshman class baseball team was bringing glory to dear ol' Chico High. showing many fine players who should develop into future Varsity stars.

Under the able direction of Mr. Charles Thompson, the choir pre- sented programs to many service clubs during the course of the year, The choir also sang for numerous other events, among them the Teachers Institute, a Christmas concert for the student body, the annual Chico Bach Festival, and the Chico 0 Music Festival. In the spring the choir presented its annual Spring Concert, as Well as presenting a program during Hello Week, and participating in the Northern California Music Festival at San Jose. Like any other organization, the choir has its fun, as well as its work. Headed by Robert Rhien, president, a choir dance was planned and enjoyed by all.

Highlighted by a trip to San Jose, the Chico High Band and Orchestra probably was the busiest organization in this school. Whenever the call went out for music, the Band and Orches- . tra were always ready and willing to per- ! form, for both school and town affairs. Getting no competition from Northern California's various high school bands. the CHS instrumentalists journeyed south to San Jose, where they made a name for themselves.

Both the Band and Orchestra have entertained the CHS students in assemblies. and, besides giving performances for the townspeople they traveled to Redding to display their talent before bands from other Sacramento Valley schools.

Under the able direction of Mrs. Nedry. three successful plays were presented dur- ing the year, as well as a series of radio plays which rated top honors. Chico High School's drama season was off to a good start with the Junior play, Ready Made Family, which was presented in February. D This comedy-farce proved to be a great success when it was presented by the spirited Junior class in the school library. In March the Drama department scored another success when the Seniors presented the rip- roaring comedy. We Shook the Family Tree, given at the Chico Municipal Little Theater.

This year the Student Body presented a mystery comedy entitled Tiger Home, which succeeded in sending spine-tingling chills down the back of each person in the audience. An essential part of Chico High School's Drama department is its radio plays class. Under the leadership of student directors, a radio play was presented each Friday this year over KHSL. The cast and directors of these plays were selected each week from the members of the radio plays class. The group also sponsored interviews to be held of various student leaders. This was instigated to better acquaint the citizens of Chico with the activities of their young people. It takes the cooperation of every department to make the spirit of any school really out- standing. We may well be proud of the active part this year's Drama department has taken in contributing to the Spirit of Chico High.

Oh, Whewlu was just one of the moans heard at the informal initiation, but the girls agree it was worth it to belong to such a great club. Just look at some of the wonderful things they have accomplished this year. The club is a service organization with a money making project each year. This year it was a very successful April Fools dance. ' 'iTrees of Success, was the theme of the Older Girls' Con- SK rl- Y ference at Richardson Springs. We were represented very well for our own Marilyn Carlson was elected vice-president and Winona Morton was the presiding secretary. In May, all the teachers Were reminded that spring was here by the lovely corsages given to them. In the same month the club held their second annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. Later in May the Junior and Senior Tri-Y had their joint tea. The final social event was a picnic, at which the installation of next year's oficers was held. fLeftJ The initiates pose in full color at the informal initiation. ckisrhll Couples enjoy the clowns and jokes at the Jr. and Sr. Tri-Y April Fools Dance.

Freshman and Sophomore girls are eligible to join the Junior Tri-Y and when they become Juniors and Seniors they may join the older girls' club. . The club did not have an informal initiation this year, but Y a formal one was held in the high school library. An April Fools 0 101- dance was put on by the two linking clubs. One of the biggest events that this group has is the yearly Silver Tea and Fashion Show, held in the school library. Prominent Women around Chico as well as the mothers are invited to attend.

On this page are featured the hard working staff of your school paperkthe Red and Gold. Each week this energetic group searches the campus for leads which might turn up a story of interest to you students. Upon finding a story they gather all information available, and retire to Room 105 for a period of good hard Writing. The story, or copy as it is then called. it put through a series of moves which finally results in its being sent to be put into type by the printers. This process sounds simple enough. but it is surprising the complications that can and do arise in the process of putting out Red and Gold each week. A wide-awake, ingenious staff, ably led by Editors Audrey Schlossin and Dearesteen lVlcCune, met every emergency, and on Wednesday afternoons during sixth period you read the results of their labors in your copy of Red and Gold.

With King Price and Nancy Newsome presiding, the Pan Ameri- can Club has enjoyed a fruitful and entertaining 0 year, The highlight attraction of the year was the annual Spanish Fiesta, which was held on April 22, Here gayety reigned as king. Casca- rones were thrown about in riotous fashion, and the familiar Pinata offered its share of the candy. Attempting to do their part in the bettering of the relationship between South American and American schools, the members of the club have written letters to students in South America. An outstanding contribution of the club was the founding of the Maybelle Sutton Memor- ial Scholarshipf' to be awarded to the most deserving student of 1950. :Lt-ftl The crowd closes in as the pinata breaks at the club's Christmas Party.

The JCL had a lot of fun tool Under the leadership of President Robin Renner, and oiiicers Lesle Creech, Claire Ohms, Virginia Sauer, Val Cundiff, Suzie Johnson, and Bill Bassler, their annual picnic was again a great success with everyone present enjoying the good food and ine swimming. Another outstanding event was the annual JCL Open House held in March, during which time the Latin students displayed their projects to families and friends.

All members wore their rooters caps, which were red and gold dinks this year, and this colorful group really stood out among the spectators. A Chico High banner was bought by the club. This banner will be used in future years to block off the Pep Club section at all home games. During a rally early in the school term, President Milton Boyer presented to the yell leaders three new megaphones which the club had purchased. The rooters' thanks also go to their president for being responsible for getting buses to go to the out-of-town games. This year Chico Highs student body was well represented at all games, out-of-town as well as the home games. The Pep Club and yell leaders have cooperated very nicely. A group of this kind needs leaders, but on the other hand the leaders must have a group willing to follow them. Put these two facts together and you can plainly see We have had full cooperation this year.

But this isn't the only thing these Future Homemakers have done this year. During the noon hours they sold ice cream bars in the gym, and then after saving the bags, they sent toys to little children over- F seas. At Christmas and Thanksgiving they gave food baskets to many needy families in Chico and Paradise. In January, the members installed the Durham chapter of Future Homemakers, and at the Sectional meeting held March lO, two of our own Chico girls won high honors.

Main event of the year was the Parent-Son Banquet at which FFA Block Cs were awarded to the deserving mem- bers. Other agricultural awards were made while the parents were acquainting themselves with the club's ways. Every organization had its dance-and the FFA is no exception. Its Barn Dance was remembered by the students of CHS as one of the better dances of the year. Something new was added to the club's activities this year as two representatives of the FFA placed entries in the annual Cow Palace showings in San Francisco.

To be a member of any club is a privilege, but membership in the California Scholarship Federation is one of the most striven for honors in high school activity.

Academically we are moving ahead, Chico High School students attending the Univer- sity of California and other institutions of higher learning have definitely raised the qual- ity of their work. Many in our own student body have achieved on a higher level. Ath- letically we have prospered as never before. I wish to compliment the student body on the high degree of school spirit exhibited this year. This spirit has been shown in our classes, our halls, our socials. and at all athletic con- tests and other student gatherings. Such growth in school spirit does not make itself manifest casually or by chance. It is a result- ant of inspirational leadership on the part of our student officers and faculty over the past several years: greater appreciation each for the other, all Working together for a common goal. The result-finer school spirit. To Chico High School, may she prosper each succeeding year. Sincerely.

They always seem to be there for advice and guidance and they are ever ready to lend an aiding hand when something goes wrong. They quietly give moral and phys- ical support and spirit to both the students and their activities.

The school grounds, both inside and out. must be kept in near-perfect condition, books must be mended, filed, pro- cured and distributed. and all emergencies must be coped with. In addition to the regu- lar teachers we have numerous assistants to handle these situations, The assistants are the high school staff members who are right behind the adminis- trative department and the high school stu- dents. When a teacher becomes ill it is one of these substitutes who takes over and keeps the class going until the regular instructor returns. When a student can't find a reference book it is the librarian who Hnds the material for him. Broken lockers, messy halls and grounds all are taken care of by our capable maintenance crew. It is to these assistants that we owe our thanks for keeping every- thing in general around Chico High running in order with smooth, steady, but nevertheless enthusiastic spirit. r'l op Leftfheft to right!

In spite of all these troubles, nevertheless they come smiling through, and really show school spirit by joining with the students in school affairs, by acting as counselors and advisers, and by striving to make the classes even more interesting and educational for all of us.

S.'s loyal sons and daughters the most popular and looked-forward-to class in the long day's tiresome routine is the gym and P. E. classes of our fair institution of loftier education. The chance to relax and get rid of excess energy on the basketball, volleyball or tennis courts creates happier, healthier students. and in this regard we must toss accolades in the direction of the Physical Education instruc- tors. So here's to A'Teachs Blodgett, Cozad. Bornefeld, and Kibbey, who teach the fairer sex the Hne art of athletics.

Miss Stansbury's fine job as art instructor is conveyed to us through the excellent proj- ects that have come from her pupils.
