We in the West are not so logical; VJe do not punish the tutor for the pupils misdeeds, and, on the other hand, those of us who escape the gallows are apt to forget to what extent our escape is due to the men and women who educated us. I wonder how many of the llGold and Whites who have passed through your classrooms realize how great is the debt they owe you? With- out the care you have lavished on us we should probably all be worse men and women than we are. That point of View did not occur to us at the time of our entrance, and it was not until we had come in personal contact with you in your classrooms that we began to learn to love you. When we first came to you as pupils, we believed that the science of Psychology consisted of nothing more than an endless string of meaningless and unpronounceable names. You taught us that the childrenls world was a very wonderful and fascinating place and made some of us yearn for the time when we should be able to go forth, giving some of the treasures you so gladly and freely gave to us. We came to you holding the belief that the science of History was nothing more than Columbus a discovered - America - fourteen - ninety - two - 'Declaration - of - Independence - signed - July - 4 - seventeen - seventy-six, multi- plied by dreariness to an infinite degree. Instead, you taught us directly the measure of the privileges and responsibilities bequeathed us by those who lived and fought and died for America. Indirectly you taught us that knowledge has a value more precious than its power to win marks in school and money in after life. Soon after I began work on the 1924 La uTorre, I re-read the lines addressed by Rudyard Kipling to one of his former masters: ? T used to be the custom in the Orient, when a man had committed a Let us now praise famous menl- lVlen of little showing-a For their work continueth, And their work continueth, Broad and deep continueth, Greater than their knowing!

C. WILLIAMS, Editor, And the members of the 1924 out- going classes of the San Jose State Teachers College. REETINGS: It gives me great pleasure to send words of greeting to the Faculty and Students of the San Jose State Teachers College. ' For many years, as a student of education in California, I have noted the splendid work done by your institution, first as a pioneer Normal School and then as one of our splendid group of State Teachers Colleges. I have realized for many years the necessity for more adequate prepa- ration of teachers in the elementary grades, and particularly for the dignifying of the profession by more adequate compensation and more complete training. With great pleasure I have had relationships With three of your Presi- dents during this transition period,--Doctor Morris Ef Dailey, of hallowed memory, Doctor W. W. Kemp, now Dean of the School of Education of the University of California, and your present President, Doctor E. R. Snyder. In this group of splendid men you have found proponents for the larger ideas and ideals of education. I congratulate those of you Who are now cooperating with Doctor Snyder either as Professors or Students. When the people of this State fully appreciate the magnificent service of our teacher training institutions, very much needed and very much appreciated expansion Will be possible. It is my'honor to give you the cordial greetings of the Trustees, the Faculty, and the Students of the College of the Pacific in its last year as your immediate neighbor. TULLY C. KNOLES, President Coilege of The Pacific. REETINGS AND FAREWELL TO THE GRADUATING CLASSES OF 1924: HI shall always deem it a misfortune that our association has been so brief and our opportunities so few to become acquainted. We have been together for but eight short months. Upon occasion we have passed one another in the corridors and on the campus, but this has occurred so infrequently that we are like unto Nships that pass in the night? The college has become so large that it is difficult, if not impossible. for a member of the faculty to meet and know well each student even for a brief period. I wish that it might have been possible for me to have known each and all of you, not alone as graduates of the college, but as acquaintances and friends. I hope that you are carrying away with you enduring friendships 'with members of the faculty and student associates; I also hope that you have come to love the San Jose State Teachers College as those love it Who have gone before you; because nothing sweetens life more than beautiful memories of the past. This, you will more fully ap- preciate in years to come. You are entering upon the most important service that can be rendered to man. You are casting your lot With those Who have dedicated their lives to the task of developing the bodies, the minds, and the souls of the children Who are destined to become the citizens of the future. The Teachers College has expressed its faith in you by honoring you With its diploma of graduation. I know that you Will keep well the faith and that you Will render to humanity a service that will be an honor and a credit to you and your Alma Mater. Sincerely yours, E. R. SNYDER, President APRIL 9, 1924. ER .SNYD R ESIDENT E. PR THE LATE L. B. WILSON 3n memoriam m uGreen be the turf above thee, Friend of my better days! None knew thee but to love thee Nor named thee but to praise. I PRESIDENT SNYDER, speaking of the influence of the late Professor L. B. Wilson, upon the education of California, said; W110 my knowledge Mr. Wilson knew personally, and came into direct contact with, each of the thouSands of teacher-students graduating during the last quarter century from the San Jose State College. I did not meet one of these teachers in my in- spectional work as State Supervisor of Manual Training who did not have a pleasant memory of this sincere school-man and a word of praise for his efficient educational service. Louis B. Wilson, beloved both in the class-room and as an administrator reached the full biblical limit of years--three score and ten. After an eX- tended experience in Elementary and High School principalships, the latter six years as head of the San Jose High School, he became in 1896, teacher of Physical Geography and Physics in the San Jose State Normal. He succeeded to the Vice-presidency in 1900, under President NIorris Elmer Dailey. This position he occupied till 1919, when, for one year, he was actingipresident. After this he continued as Viceipresident till his recent fatal illness. Mr. Wilsonis heart was in Education from his early years; and in his latter days, the training of the teacher became his soul-absorbing interest. Socially among his fellow faculty members, among the students and at home, Mr. Wilson was a bright and unusual light. He was always gentle and kindly with the highest of life purposes before him. He was always the joyous spirit of the Normal and the College. Beloved Friend and Instructor-HHai1 and-Farewelli'i aHENRY MEADE BLAND Roxana M. Adams 5th Grade Innis Ashby ' A d m imstmtwn Dorothy L.

Swiftly the tear And the hurt and the ache of it Find us down here; Life must be what we make of it. Life is a song; Let us dance to the thrill of it. Grief's hours are long, And cold is the Chill of it. Joy is man's need; Let us smile for the sake of it. This must be our creed: Life must be what we make of it.

Student CBody Student Body Aetivz'tzes $39G The Association of Students in the Teachers College during the past year has been real and pleasing. Internal development, personal and social achievement has been realized. What the membership here and association of over,l,000 young men and women students has meant as they here found interest, spent hours at work and play would be hard to estimate. Surely their lives have been enriched and social causes have been furthered. Review briefly their accomplishments. A complete motion picture outfit has been installed in the Assembly Hall through co-operation with the Training School, Dr. Freeland being the leader in this achievement. The students bought the six beautiful curtains to darken the halls for day time shows, while the Training School gave the two picture machines, and screen. Standard entertainment and educational value will result from our moving picture equipment. Taking their place in the life of the city, the students supported the Community Chest through personal pledges and by the proceeds of an athletic carnival ably executed in President Stockton's administration. Some of the unfortunate students of Europe realize that the Teachers College has an open heart, for a moderate sum was given them through the Student Friendship Fund. Further, the students gave in sending a delegate to Indianapolis to the Student Volunteer Convention; five of her men at- tended the Y. M. C. A. Annual Conference at Asilomar. Student interest this year has far exceeded that of the campus alone. The social life of the students at large has embodied a dance now and then, well arranged by Vice-President Helen Maginnis and the Student Affairs . Committee. Two snappy Jolly Ups, an especially good one opening Presi- dent Stocktonls term, and the lectures and musical programs at assemblies have all helped in making the social life for the students complete. Every so often it becomes necessary, as change occurs, to remodel or. rebuild one's house. So, the Student Body has long needed a new Constitu- tion. At the close of President Wardls administration a new constitution was presented to the students for ratification. Neil Thomas, chairman of the Constitution Committee, offered a plan of student representation based on student activity, rather than the old plan by class division. This was accepted by the assembly, together with other improvements, one, giving the general assembly more control over the small legislation board; another, a more effective method of selecting managers of sports, and, in general, other changes making the whole organization more practical. Co-operation, self-governmentethese are the marks of college students; and through the Library Committee, chairman Thomas McCain, a serious library problem was selved this term. It simply meant the responsible co operation of the students. Student Body activity found expression in repairing the old assembly hall. installing a telephone system between the stage and the box in the as sembly hall, and in taking control of Society Hall equipment by the office of Student Body Custodian. Interest reached its height in student affairs in the big opening football rally, the biggest ever held in the school. Practically every student partici- pated. The team didn't understand what it was all about, however. Again, in the fall election student interest reached high tide in student governmental affairs. Student Body meetings this year were held about every three weeks: with few special ones. The policy has been fewer but better meetings. Each administration has tried to make its meetings every bit worth while to each student. This short resume of student body activities during the year 1923 1924 shows that the students have been really alive and active, caring well for their own interests as well as keeping in touch with the outside world. Truly, progress and development characterize the year's work.

The Menis Club of San Jose State College, was organized in the Fall of 1921, the year in which the old State Normal became 21 Teachers Col- lege. The club consists of all men attending San Jose State College and the men faculty members. Incoming students automatically become members upon payment of their registration fees. The purpose of the club is to bring the men of the institution into a closer fellowship for social activities and for the conduct of their affairs in the college. The discipline of freshmen, the semi-annual hfeed , and athletics, come under these heads. I In 1922 the Menis Club put on a successful show, HKollege Kids Komics, for the Community chest. This year they gave a still better per- formance to raise funds to equip a club-room. The men stand for a bigger, stronger San Jose State College. The Menis Club is their means of expression in helping to effect this ideal. Wen? Club + Aarian Cakebread President Entire Yew?

Mysocz'ated W omen Students $33 ifA. W. S. for Every Girl and Every Girl for A. W. S. This is the slogan that was chosen for the Associated Women Students Organization this year. It has been the goal during the two years of ex- istence, and this year has been the most successful of all in striving to reach this goal. The Association, which consists of all women students in the college. was organized in October, 1922, with Mary Philips as its first president. The first quarter was spent in laying the foundation for a successful women's organization. During the next quarter, Mildred Sutherland was president. Problems of the young organization were still great, and the work carried on during this first year has enabled the Association to steadily gain strength and influence. The first annual banquet of the Organization was attended by almost three hundred women students and faculty. Dean Yost of Stanford Uni- versity was the speaker of the evening. She congratulated the girls on the formation Of advisory groups through which the functions and activities of the organization are planned. Her wish for the progress of the 'womens organization was well expressed at the second annual banquet, held January 'l6th, under the direction of the president, Neva Williams. She declared the Association unique in the manner in which it has successfully developed. Due to lack of accommodations the number attending the second ban- quet had to be limited to four hundred. The entertainment of the evening was a skit written by Mrs. Sheller. It, was given by girls of the college and depicted scenes of ancient Greece and Rome, France in the Old salon days. modern Ireland, and concluded with an American Review Of 1924. One of the most exciting functions of the A. W. S. this year was the Jinks. All types of characters appeared ranging from Sir Walter Raleigh to little Topsy. Nearly four hundred women students and faculty attended the party, and all declared it most successful with the stunts, games, and dancing. The music was furnished by the college girls orchestra. The climax of the A. W. S. functions this year was the Bloomer Party. Amid great hilarity and fun 1n games, stunts, and dancing the faculty women and girl students enjoyed one of the best parties ever given for women. The last funtion 0f the year was the Picnic Afternoon, on May 8th. This was the second Picnic Day held by the A. W. S. The beautiful and interesting places of Santa Clara Valley became known to the girls when they put away their books and with their groups spent the afternoon out-of-doors. A tea-set has been purchased by the A. WT. S. and some of the most lovely times enjoyed by the girls have been the teas held in the office of the Dean of Women. All of these activities have been made possible by the cooperation of the girls, faculty, and the council, which is the executive board made up of the group presidents and the officers of the Association. The interest and progress of the Womenls Organization is sure to con- tinue and the A. XV. S. become one of the organizations which is honored by all the college students. cA. IVS.

Sand-Dune Song 9Q By Henry Meade Bland I Whistle my pipes on the White sand-dune, In flowery May, by the light of the moon; And the boys and the girls run down to the sea, And dance as they toss verbenas on me. They dance as they toss red yerbenas on me, And I Whistle to them the song of the sea; And they listen as rapt by the magical rune, That touches the ear as a light spirit-tune. And the dancersare sad as the Autumn sea, XVhen they listen in vain for the song of me, And somber they etalkz-ahHe is gone too soon! , Oh, When maymwedance 0.11 the White sand-dune? 95s Byand by they Shall come to the VEX,d Autumn sea, ,Andgfor themII' Will sing from the soul offme; -. I And myasong shall be a heart-healing boon, I In this fairy dance by the light of the moon. And Whenthey last sail to the Isle afar, WherefStorm cannot beat and Time cannot mar, They Will hear me in joy as they journey in glee; For I am the soul of the infinite sea. l Fe5tz'm 0m 1055 B Q39 6310550111 F estz'val $33 IN the spring for many years past, a celebration, called the Blossom Festi- val, has been held in the Santa Clara valley, as a fitting accompaniment to the blossoming of the fruit orchards, from Which the valley derives its wealth. For the 1924 Festival, the San Jose State Teachers College was asked to select the queen to preside over the celebration for the year. Miss Eveleen Allen was chosen and her coronation took place during a pageant held on the college campus, participated in by the student bodies of the San Jose State Teachers College, the San Jose High School, and representatives from all Santa Clara Valley communities. angzzsb Club 9 Honorary members $33 HON.

Each of the five departments have held contests and the club, as a whole, has accomplished very much. Interest in the English Club has spread very rapidly because of the need of such an organization in the school. The club now has a general membership of fifty, and on the long list of honorary members may be found the names of prominent writers of this community and members of the faculty. It has been the aim of the executive council of the club to combine business and pleasure. This idea has worked out very well, and many inter- esting and helpful trips were planned. EX-Senator Phelan opened his Los Gatos estate iTMontalvob for a tea and reception to the English Club. Many celebrated writers were present at the affair, among them, Gertrude Atherton. Mrs. Markham, while Visiting in San Jose was the guest of honor at a dinner and reception at which the members of the English Club acted at hosts. On April 23, Edwin Markhams birthday, the members of the club were again at a tea in honor of Mr. Markham. The members of the Poetry Club were the guests of honor. A trip to the house of Joaquin Miller, in Oakland, was the last social affair of the year.

GUEST junior College jumor College $33 Our college has spiritathe spirit that sees a goal before it, and then strives to reach that goal, neither Tearing nor stopping for obstacles that may happen to obstruct the path. We have reached a goal, that goal being the security Of knowing that our college is bound to survive and succceed. We have a standing among the universities of California. Both Stanford and California unhesitatingly accept our graduates into their upper divisions. This is completely satisfying to both faculty and students, and our hope passes on that the future years will bring even greater honors to our Alma Mater. Because the Junior College is an integral part of the San Jose State Teachers College, there has been practically no politics except the election of class officers, and in social life the college has been brilliantly active. About the middle of the fall semester we had a picnic near Almaden. The students and faculty joined in a most enjoyable frolic. During the fall semester another successful social event occurred. A ball was given in the Lannai 0f the Vendome Hotel. Approximately eighty- five couples were present. The climax of the social year was reached the night of May 2, when another picnic was given, this time the girls were hostesses and the bOVS were the guests. Congress Springs was the place. However, our school stands primarily for its honor and scholarship and then for the good times and experiences that the association with the faculty and the students bring to us. The Junior college is young and the forming of worthy precedents are in the hands of these first classes. Everything: that the Junior College will be' in the future, will have as its foundation the customs and precedents that are formed in these years of its infancy. funior College 1' First Semester Thomas McCain President Alice Bradeen V ice-Presidmzt Eugene Lindhloom Secretary Herman anly Treasurer Laura Morrison Reporter Second Semester Robert Moore Presidmz t Abner Reed V I'ce-P'rcsidmzt Marian McMillan Secretary Llewellyn Snyder Treasu rer Edward Tabler Reporter Library CProblems T Executive Committee Thomas McCain Chairman Herman Lundy Vwe-Chau'man Anna Mayo Secretary Neil Thomas Lucile Nichols George Eardley Helen Maginnis oFiewrrzcm Club Q59 Mwman Club $33: The Newman Club is a religious and social organization for Catholic men and women of this school.

W. C. A. in this college is a part of the National student movement consisting of about 650 organizations in dif- ferent universities and colleges. Our association is influenced by these other associations as well as having some influence on them. Each year there is a student conference held at Asilomar, the National Y. W. C. A. conference grounds, for California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, which helps to keep the local association in touch with the work in other colleges and universities throughout the United States. Besides being linked with the National student movement the organizad tion on our campus is kept in touch with the work in other countries through the World Student Christian Federation and through speakers and study. At one of the association meetings Miss Evelyn Miller, who has spent some time in South America, gave a very interesting account of the people, customs and work of the Y. W. C. A. there. At another meeting Miss Helen Thoburn, National Y. W. C. A. secretary, on furlough from China, brought the girls a message from the Orient that was very helpful in making them better acquainted with the people and conditions in that land. This being the year of the Ninth Quadrennial Student Volunteer Cona vention, the association with the help of the Student Body and a number of the churches of San Jose, sent a delegate to this convention at Indian: apolis. Gertrude Griffin was the delegate selected and she brought back a very interesting account of the work and problems discussed there. The week of World Fellowship and Prayer was observed by holding services every morning in the llY room during that week, where people of other countries were considered in study and prayer. The members of the association as well as other girls of the school were very fortunate this year in having for the first time a Community Leadership Conference under the direction of Miss Rhoda Foster, community secretary for the Pacific coast region. A great deal of information and material was received to help the girls to be leaders that will benefit the com- munities in which they teach. The Y. W. C. A. stands for service and Christian Fellowship in the school. The headquarters is the llYll room which is a cheery place where all girls are welcome at any time. It serves as a place for meetings and dis- cussion groups, as well as a place to study or rest. In one corner of the room is the lllost and found department. Here articles that are found may be turned in or those lost may be called for. A pass key to the lockers and a serving basket for the use of all is also kept in the llYll room. The association is of service to the city through the Social Service Club. This club consists of a group of girls who Visit the Preventorium, Alms House, County Hospital, and Day Nursery, to bring happiness and aid to people who are less fortunate than they are. The club helps the Good Cheer Club by rolling bandages and working in other ways. The student association has an advisory board composed of women of San Jose who are interested in the Y. W. C. A. and of some of the women of the faculty. Miss Kathrine Springborg has been the general secretary of the association and Mildred Moore the president. Two cabinets of officers and about 150 members complete the organization. Advisory Board Y. W . C. A. + Mrs. J. J. Miller Chaiwnan Mrs. Mary Burgess Mrs. J. C. DeVoss Mrs. Estelle Creathea'd Mrs. J.

Mllenicm Mllem'cm 5Q The work accomplished by this society in the past year has been very worth while. The attendance and conduct at assemblies was one of the problems; the other was the development of a feeling of congeniality, friend- liness, and good sportsmanship among the girls. The latter was their great accomplishment. Allenian also feels justly proud of Gladys Stockton, who was elected to fill the office of Student Body President during the spring semester. A tea at OBrien's opened the rushing season. A skating party which was given on the first of October was an affair enjoyed by all. A dinner at Saratoga Lodge brought the season to a close. The house party at Capitola was the most successful social event of the year. The formal dance was held at Saratoga Lodge just before Christmas vacation. Toyon berries and hollyiwere very effectively used in the decora- tion and carried out the holiday motif. Santa Claus appeared during the evening and distributed the favors which he found on the large Christmas tree. The dance was a very fitting close of the semester's social affairs. Spring rushing was opened by a Bridge Tea at the home of Ruth Englehardt. Gladys Stocktons home was the scene of much merriment 0n the evening of .March fourth; the event being a TTBuncoTT party.

A scholarship standing was adopted during the first semester. All members not complying with this requirement become inactive until they are able to advance their standing. This standard went into effect in the spring semester. Nippon Mura was the setting for the opening tea of the fall rushingr season. A theatre party and pledge breakfast were other rush affairs. The formal initiation was held at the home of Dorothy Sherwin, and was very effectively carried out. The formal dance was given at the Los Gatos History Club, on January 19. Miss Jones and Mrs. Scott acted as chaperones. The decorations for this affair were Oriental; parasols, lanterns, and incense helped carry out this motif. The spring season was a very busy one for Browning. The home of Helen Dauberg was the setting for the opening Mah Jong Tea. Miss Licht- hardt and Miss Henze chaperoned a theatre party, after which the girls enjoyed a Spanish dinner at Wilson's. The formal dinner was held at the Vendome. The decorations for this affair were very well worked out. The color scheme was purple and gold and the large HB placed above the table was very effective. Each girl reCeived a corsage bouquet of Violets inset with a gold MB The slumber party at Trix Scott's was one the girls will not soon forget, nor will they forget the informal initiation held at Helen Dauberg's. Boating, swimming, and dancing were the chief amusements at the house party held at Capitola the last of May. This party was chaperoned by Miss Chasteen and Miss Ruebsam.

In all respects it has been successful in this endeavor, and many things have been done and will be done. The De Molay Club was organized With a charter membership of 18. It now has a membership of over 25 and progress has been rapid. The big part of the work the De Molayis have undertaken, has been in the form Of social gatherings. Parties have been given to the members and to the Phi Kappa Society. Many snappy but delicious feeds have been held in Society Hall, and it is planned to have more in the future. The plans for the coming year have reached pleasing proportions. Fre- quent over-night outings, feeds, and parties are some of the future events. An initiation of new candidates Who have been elected recently will be held, and a few casualties are expected. The De Molay Club hopes to be one of the liveliest organizations in the college in the future.

To this latter end it is expected that the fraternity will soon establish chapters in other colleges. The organization has had a very successful year holding luncheons every other Thursday noon with interesting speakers to give the members a new insight into the type of lifeywork they have chosen. Two initiations have been held, one a formal and one of an informal nature. Following the ceremonies the members, old'and new, gathered around the banquet table to renew old friendships and form new ones. One of the banquets was held in Society Hall and the other in the Commercial Club. One social event was held in Society Hall, a dinner dance which every- one enjoyed to the fullest extent as it was one of the most elaborate affairs in the way of decorations and service ever put on in our social hall.

The members are those students interested in dra- matics and stage technique. At the opening of the school year the tryouts for membership in the society were exceedingly well patronized. Sixteen new members were elected to the society from a group of fifty applicants. Due to lack of time on the part of the coach the Society did not make an annual production as usual. The Senior Show, Faculty Show, Kollege Kids Komics, and Play Production Class made heavy demands on the time and talent of the members as well as taking most of the possible dates. However in spite of the failure to present any particular play the mem- bers studied several plays during the year and held open discussion and criticism of their respective merits at the meetings and dinners of Masque and Key in Society Hall. It is the sincere hope of all the members that in the coming year Masque and Key may present a big production for some deserving cause. Wasque and Key 1.

Although wooed by many she finally accepts John Stone for better or for worse. The part of John Stone, a detective masking as a life guard, who is responsible for the success of Nancy Bellis seaside resort, was played by Milton Watson. The piquant charm of Gladys Stockton in the role of Dot Farley coma bined with her many fascinating whimsicalities won her audience the minute she stepped on the stage. Hal Chope took the part opposite Gladys and played an interesting Tommy Tucker, engaged to three girls at the same time. Joe DlAnna, cast as a demented sea salt, subject to the delusion that he was a Vicious and bloody pirate, displayed his versalility, and his former roles of Tony and Count Fromage were overshadowed by his most excellent interpretation of Ned Dirks, the Black Dog. George Eardley and Kenneth Johnston took the roles of the Count and the Baron respectively, two international crooks who try to steal Nancy Bellis gold, but, of course, are stopped by John Stone the detective. Vivian Tennyson, who played opposite Jud Eardley as the Tigress, was, to say the least, a successful vampire and a most captivatingr crook. Miss Elizabeth Hibbs a reporter for the Sunny Cove Clarion, a lively and refined little news paper was well presented by Miss Lena Reagan. Lizzie was an old maid dumb, awkward, and romantic. It demanded good character work to present the part in the realistic manner achieved. by Miss Reagan. Edward Cureton showed ability in his depiction of Uncle Jed, Nancyls guardian. The part of Tubby, an amorous and romantic suitor as well as a memv ber of the Sunny Cove Athletic Club, was well taken by Ernest Williams. Young Donald Stockton, an ensign in the U. S. N. was a convincing and romantic lover. Ethelbert Hicks, who insisted that the girls call him iiBertiell and not uEthelW was the occasion of much laughter. Ed Tabler played the part of the intellectual sissy to perfection - The acting throughout was lively and clever The dancing graceful and entrancing, the music was unique in its originality and charm the plot held the audience in suspense thrilled them with excitement and caused many hearty laughs. The setting was noticeable for its excellence; in fact, the whole show was the best, most interesting, most entertaining Senior Show that has yet been given by the College. GIchmcy Bell 1.

INGERSOLL Faculty ?lczy '- $9 To rely Bea rers 53$ The Auditorium curtain rose Friday and Saturday evenings, May ninth and tenth, disclosing a transformed faculty in George Kelleyls satiric farce- comedy, the HTorch Bearersf' The theme of the play was a take-off on the very familiar groups of amateur players who ape the professional stage, and have neither ability nor training. Dr. Elder played the part of a disgusted and pained husband of the impossible amateur actress, Miss Henze. However, it seems that Dr. Elder enjoyed the machinations of the coquettish widow, Miss Chasteen who burst into giggles whenever he appeared and forever forgot her cues. Mr. Newby, as Huxley Hossefrosse, like many other amateurs, had a great deal of difficulty in memorizing his part and almost proved to be the Jonah of the production. In the second act, which showed the amateur company behind scenes on their first night, he suffered terrible anguish at- tempting to remember his next line. Miss Sanderson played the role of a wouldabe directress who knew noth- ing of stage direction or play-production: and yet puts on many airs in order to give the appearance of much genius. Carl Hazeltine was the dumb property manager for the would-be company, who never rang the telephone bell at the right time and nearly wrecked the show by knocking over the scenery. Mr. MacDonald lost his dignity as athletic coach and fainted into Miss Sandersonls arms; then Mr. Poytress became pessimistic and dropped half of his mustache. Miss Williams play a charming little house maid; while Miss Morton killed her husband by her attempts at stardom and had to spend the rest of her life in widowls weeds. Mr. DeVoss featured in the role of stage manager and rated all the amateurs as having I. le of about minus ten. The play will not soon be forgotten, Mr. Newhy's simple, self-conscious smile, Miss Chasteenls coquettish giggle, the wordy battle between Miss Sanderson and Mr. Hazeltine; Dr. Elderls fall down stairs, lVliss Henzeis famous laugh, Mr. MacDonaldls faint, Mr. Poytress' mustache, Miss Mel- Cuchettls dramatic imitation, Miss Morton's sobs, Miss Williams flittings. lingerls dramatic imitation, Miss Morton's sohs, Miss William's flittings, dramatic: history.

The Christmas play was truly interesting. The pageant was presented in tabloid form with a reader. The sets were well executed and the whole presentation was emblematic of the Christmas spirit. ' The play presented in the later part of the spring semester was a bur- lesque by Bernard Shaw on the ancient story of Androcles and the Lion. The satire was mirth-provoking and fast. The plot centered around Androcles the hen-pecked husband, who picked a thorn out of a lionTs foot, and later when thrown in a pit to be devoured by the lions for a crime committed, was elated to find his friend the lion, who in place of devouring him, licked his hand. The play was presented in the afternoen for the benefit of the Student: Body and provided interesting entertainment for the audience as well as excellent training for the participants. .

GILBERT CDebate CDebczte $339 Although debating has been a student body activity in San Jose State Teachers College this year, only one debate took place. This debate was with the College of the Pacific on the question: Resolved, That the U. S. Government should recognize the Soviet Russian Republic at once. Due to the fiery attacks of Kenneth Johnson and Willis Baldwin, together with the splendid support they received, Pacificts defense crumbled and the judges awarded the decision to the State College team. Debating next year should rank high in student body activities and With the contemplated giving of awards it should attract many followers.

For practically every play or entertainment given during the year, the orchestra furnished the music. In the Spring Semester, the orchestra gave a very interesting program before the Student Body. This is the first time in the history of the school that the college orchestra has given a concert for the students. During the Blossom Festival, the orchestra, augmented by members of the High School orchestra, furnished the music. The orchestra is open to all students of the college Who play musical instruments and to tho:e Who wish to learn to play. GLEE CLUB In spite of the fact that Glee Club is given as a regular classroom subject, the enrollment for the past year has been comparatively small due to the inconvenient hour at which the class was held. However under the capable leadership of Miss Ida M. Fisher, head of the Music Department, some very commendable work has been accomplished. The Glee Club deserves special commendation for its excellent work at the pageant held on the college campus preliminary to the Blossom Festival at Saratoga. The Club also participated in the Blossom Festival proper. The assistance of this organization in connection with various Other school activities such as plays and assemblies, should not be overlooked. The Glee Club and Orchestra are worthy and efficient organizations and are deserving of better support from the student body. ORCHESTRA GLEE CLUB Wen? tbletz'c 5 $3 general qiemme 5C3 With the increase of men students in the school, Teachers College athletics began to take on the mature aspect that is characteristic of institutions recog- nized in intercollegate competition. The difficulty of securing games and meets was to a large measure removed by the improvement of teams, and in fact larger universities such as Stanford and California began to call on San Jose State for practice games with Freshmen and lighter weight teams. The number of Victories, while not as large as loyal rooters might have hoped for, has held out the promise of better things in the future, for each of the major activities, football, basket ball, track, and baseball has been put upon a firm foundation and a closer union formed with schools of the same class as the Teachers College. Perhaps the most encouraging factor in the development of these activities is the fact that a large percentage of the men of the different teams will remain for the coming season. Football proved to be the most discouraging sport of the year. The lack of sufficient material from which a team might be chosen was the greatest diffi- culty, while weight, the thing most needed, did not make its appearance. Then too, but few men on the squad had previous experience in football, a fact which made it difficult to develop the perfectly trained team that is found in the larger institutions. Basket ball was far more successful than the previous activity. Chico. the old rival, was defeated and the championship for the Teachers Colleges gained. Pacific was a little too much for the Varsity and the conference supre- macy passed to other hands. Fresno, recognized as one of the strongest teams of the Southern division of the conference was also defeated as was Occidental College. The Stanford Freshmen barely nosed out the Gold and White by two points after two extra periods of play, and although the U. C. l45-lb. team was able to defeat the Varsity in both of the games played, the scores were not discouraging considering the reputation of the California tearn. Baseball resulted ratherin close team work than in brilliant individual playing, although each member of the team starred at one time or another during the season. Track, however, was characterized largely by personal exploits, the lack of second and third material being a handicap that was found difficult to overcome, although this sport had a goodly supply of recruits. The only disappointing feature about the season was the defeat by Pacific. The latter achieved this only by one point, which made the Tigers Victory all the harder to bear. One of the best men of the Gold and White squad, being forced to leave early, was able to compete in but one of his two allowed events or the result might have been different. Baseball was favored by an unusual amount of new material. The greatest sat1sfaction came from the defeat of Pacific, for this was the one sport in which the Tigers were vanqu1shed.

In fact this was the only solace the squad had, for the Teachers College column was bare 0f tallies until the Chico game when a well aimed kick scored three points on a field goal. A summary of games played is as follows: October 6.--Varsity 0: Modesto Z8.

Joe Michell served as manager and Harry Lawless as captain, While the playing of Saxe, Herdman, and Thompson was one of the biggest reasons for the team's success. Of the new men, Cul- bertson, Hawkins, Clery, and MacGregor had previous experience on other teams and showed it. Cabot, the only other pitcher besides Saxe, showed up well as did Kendall in right field. The Santa Rosa Junior College game, on April 12, resulted in an 8 to 1 score in favor of the Gold and White.

A. A. XVe're all rightl Ready to fight! For the honor of San Josell The Women's Athletic Association, best known to every girl as the W. A. A., was organized in our college in 1920. It has made marvelous pro- gress through its four short years of existence. At first it was simply a separate organization almost unrecognized by the Student Body, but now it has a voting member on the Student Body Executive Board, which means a great deal to the assoc1ation. To gain membership to the W. A. A. one must make at least twenty- five points in some athletic work, must send in a written application, and then must be voted upon by the association. Officers are elected each year. They are: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, and the several Sport Managers. The development and growth of the association is clue to the combined efforts of the members, officers, and faculty in charge. The point system was changed this year from the local point system to the National point system. Before this change only 10 points were needed for membership but now 25 are needed. The points of award were like- wise Changed. Awards are given on the basis of athletic points, scholarship standing, and sportsmanship. The awards are a pin at 250 points, a letter at 750 points, and a sweater and big block at 1.000 points. This is the first year that any sweaters have been won. They were awarded to Neva Williams and Violet Lannis, each having made 1,000 points. San Jose has held two Play Days this year with San Francisco. The first on March 10, was held in San Jose. The sports in which the colleges competed were Volley Ball and Basket Ball. Each class was represented. by two teams in each sport. It was a great day for all. Luncheon was served in Society Hall for all members of the teams and their coaches. A de- lightful entertainment was given during the luncheon. The second Play Day was held, May 24, at San Francisco and the sports this time were Tennis and Baseball. San Jose left for San Francisco bright and early, snent the day playing the team games and returned late in the evening. San Francisco served a gay luncheon which was enjoyed by all the team members.

After the termination of the basket ball. and volley ball seasons, baseball started With much enthusiasm, Three class teams were organized, including Upper Division, Sophomore, and Freshman teams. Beginning in the early Spring practices were held twice a week, on Monday and Wednesday afternoons. Two groups of games were played, those played between the various classes and those played With San Francisco on Play Day, May 24. TWO teams participated in the San Francisco games, one from the Sophomore class and one from the Freshman class. The success of the games was due to the enthusiasm and spirit shown by the girls throughout the entire baseball season, and the earnest efforts of the coach, Miss tNiH-iams.

The main event of the basket ball was the annual Play Day matches with San Francisco Teachers College. On March the first this big event came off. The first game that was played was by the Sophomores, the San Jose team Winning 11-8. The other Sophomore team was defeated by San Francisco 16-6. The Freshmen games which followed resulted in the Victory for San Jose in the first and a decisive defeat in the second. Perhaps one of the most interesting basket ball events was the inter- class games. Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior teams played, and the Sopho- mores were Victorious. Considering the number Of girls that were out for the sport and the fact that there were four teams. it shows that basket ball is one of the favorite sports, and it is the hope for the future that even more girls will be given the opportunity to play on teams. 11 Basket Ball + Freshman Team Evelyn Blacklock Druxcilla Fry Laura Phillips Alice Bradeen Rosahel Smith Alice McCaughey Ruth Buckley Sophomore Team Anna Zimmerman Edith Clark Violet Lannis Helen Howell Doris K6rsell Catherine Farley Lucille Clark Doris Dean J CUolley 63411 $33 iiPass it to the front line I Iii HKill it I Iii That is just what we did.

In spite of the fact that we could only have the court in the evenings, practice went ahead enthusiastically. At several of our evening practices the County Teachers gave us some iipeppym competition, after which we finished the evening with good heats. During January and February we really got down to work and prac- ticed hard as we were looking forward to Play Day, March lst, with San Francisco. On that day San Jose was Victorious in both the Freshman and Sopho- more games. The season was finished with the interclass games of which the Sopho- mores were Victorious. After the games the XV. A.

Never before has there been such a successful hockey season as the fall of 1924. No school credit was given as in former years and all the girls who came out played for the sake of the game or for W. A. A. credit. Pep, good sportsmanship, star playing, and class spirit were manifested through out the season. ' About sixty girls composed the enthusiastic group that made hockey a leading girls sport in this college. For the first time there were enough girls to choose three teams, Upper Division, Sophomores and Freshmen. Gertrude Griffin was elected general manager of hockey, while Helen Maslin, Doris Dean, and Hazel Wood were managers for the Upper Divig sion, Sophomores, and Freshmen respectively. The upper division team was captained by Catherine Wallace, the Sophomore by Helen Howell, and the Freshmen by Mary Hickey. Miss Conover and Miss Beatty were the efficient coaches of the teams. The season was very fittingly closed by a very informal dinner in Society Hall where stunts and games were enjoyed and small H's to be worn as gym suit emblems were awarded to the members of the team.

To get up early in the morning, pack one?s lunch, hike up in the hills till noon, eat lunch under a big shady tree or by a running brook, finish the hike by sundown is truly one of the most thrilling experiences. In our college there are two hiking clubs. The one particularly for girls is under the auspices of the W. A. A. Points are given for a definite number of miles covered.

Having a sense of humor, the owner wrapped a few strands of bailing wire around the ruin and shipped it to Henry Ford.

At last they stopped before a picture which seemed to please onerva portrait; of a lovely girl with a particularly ugly bull dog. iiThis is something nice, Dick said the fair one.

HAh, and he sighed apprecia- tively, iihe is a beauty, indeedlii Dr. Freeland, walking along the street one day, saw a crowd of boys sitting in a ring, with a small dog in the center. When he came up to them he asked: hWhat are you doing to the dog?

A party from our school had gone to a rural part of the county on a survey, and in default of a better place to stay for the night, some of the members were obliged to seek quarters in a nearby ranchhouse. Everything was simplicity itself, although scrupulously clean and home- like. But, as would be expected, there was a natural absence of some of the luxuries of high-priced city hotels. Retiring time came and some of the party discovered that there were no keys in the locks of their rooms, and consulted the farmerts wife. The good woman was undisguisedly surprised. hWhy, she said, Hwe donht usually lock our doors here, and therein no one here but you. But then, scrutinizing the party carefully, HI sun pose you know your own party hestf' Among the new Class which came to Miss Adams, was one Ton'nny, who for naughty deeds had been spanked many times; by Miss Field. HSend him to me any time when you want him spanked, suggested the latter: hI can manage him. One morning about a week later, Tommy appeared at Miss Fieldh door. She dropped her work, seized him by the arm, dragged him to the dressing room, turned him over her knee and did her duty. When she had finished she said: HWell, Tommy, what have you to sayiw HPlease ,Miss Field, my teacher wants the scissors. One day we were quizzing Neil about his record in the World War; also incidentally, we wished to know where he learned to juggle the dish pans so well. HWhy, sir, my grandfather was a Civil War veteran and killed 100 men while he was in the service. You can see that I come from fighting stock. HWhat was he? I asked, a gunner? HNope, said Neil, Ha cook. Dr. Freeland was telling some of the boys about a fishing trip he had. just been on at Tahoe. HAre there any trout out there? asked Mr. DeVoss.

The president got nutty and imagined she was the only dent in the pan, so we gave her the willies and the dinky dink association shot the chutes. Dean Jones was conducting one of her famous classes in literature. Recitations had become somewhat fitful.

Itls perfectly grand, he murmured. HAnd Scottls lPeveril of the Peak' and his noble Bride of Lammermoorl awhere in the English Language will you find anything more heroic than his grand auld Scottish characters and his graphic, forceful pictures of feudal times and customs? You like them I'm sure. l 11 HI just clote upon them, George replied. 17 llAnd Scott's Emulsion, she continued hastily, for a faint suspicion was beginning to dawn upon her. llI think, interrupted Hal who had been dozing in the back seat, chat its the best thing he ever wrote. The sentiment of to-day was freely expressed by the New England Girl, who mistook the first milestone out of Boston for a tombstone, and upon reading its inscription, l lVl. from Boston, said; le from Boston. How simple! How sufficient? An old farmer and his wife were attending church one hot Sabbath day. The windows were open, and the noisy chorus of the crickets was dis tinctly audible. In due course the choir sang an anthem, and the old man, a music lover, listened enraptured. At its conclusion he turned to his wife and Whispered: Ainlt that glorius and divine, Mirandy? llYes, she answered: Hand to think that they do it all with their hind legs!

Now we figure the thing out differently, and thus: Eve ate t8l and Adam ate t8l alsoetotal, sixteen. 9 it But are not these figures entirelyi wrong? If Eve ate l8l and Adam ate too tszy, certainly the total was ninety. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that the antee diluVians were giants, reason something like this: Eve ate one t8ly and Adam ate too t82y--total 163. Wrong again. It is clear that if Eve ate one t8ly and Adam ate one too t812l, the total was 893. ilNow, Charlie; donlt you admire my new silk dressy asked a fond mother of her little boy. llYes, mamma; it is beautifulfi replied Charlie. llAnd, Charlie, all the silk is provided for us by a poor wormf llYou mean papa, don't you, mamma? asked Charlie. !

A guest asked the hostess to play something. Seating herself at the piano, she executed a Chopin nocturne with precision. She finished, and there was still an interval of waiting to be bridged. In the silence she turned to an old gentleman on her right and said, HWould you like a sonata before dinner? He gave a start of surprise and pleasure. HWhy, yes, thanks! he said. Ill had a couple on my way here, but I think I. could stand another? IVe Wonder How We Got 80 Many Good Looking Photographs A lady took her four-year-old daughter to be photographed. The little one could not be kept still. The camera man was suave. called the child all the sweet, endearing names he could think of, and used every device of gentle persuasion to make the little wiggler keep quiet. Finally he turned to the despairing mother and said: HMadam, if you will leave your darling With me a few minutes I think I can take her lovely face to perfectionfl The mother withdrew for a short time.
