To those who have contributed a real measure of effort and unselfish interest in building the itmilestones'i of college life should come a word of recognition or praise from THOSE fortunate in the great luxury of learning! May WE pause in the wake of OUR own achievements and look upon the accomplishments of an individual whose splendid integrity of purpose has enshrined many of the most sacred ideals of San Jose State in the hearts of those loyal to the GOLD and WHITE. HIS work, as leader among leaders, has been nobly completed: A fine building program heralds the GREATER SAN J OSE STATE! For the past three years the administrative policies have been directed toward greater heights in the field of education, notably the Bachelor of Arts degree-granting privilege! As presi- dent, Mr. Minssen has given the Associated Students every pos- sible co-operation in return for their mutual interest in the welfare of the college! There is no large word of appreciation adequate to testify gratitude magnanimously earned, but there IS a great respect he- stowed upon an INDIVIDUAL pledged in the service of Educa- tion, inspiring in his idealism, dreaming, planning, building for a glorious future and rich in the steadfast friendships of life! t- , ,, ,, 4 4., $2 GREATER SAN ml?

SOPHOMO'RE-JUNIOR-SENIOR ENROLLMENT September 13, 1926 There is a real compensation for everyone who strives through the tedious task of registration, for the happiness experienced on renewing old friendships, after an absence of a few months, more than rewards the individual in his effort to successfully accomplish the business of the day. The fact that approximately 475 Sophomores, 235 Juniors, 114 Seniors, and 76 unclassified students exclusive of Freshmen are registered for this semester is ample proof of the rapid development of San Jose State, in number of students and in recognized educational importance. This record enrollment has set the pace for a splendid 1926-27 march of events. l141 A. w. s. PLAY BIG SISTER TO FRESHMEN September 14, 1926 Gold and white ttAsk Me ribbons are worn by the Big Sisters at each semi-annual Freshman registration. This is an ancient custom of the Spartan women which displays the spirit of friendliness and helpfulness to those who, for the first time, have entered the portals of our quad in quest of education. The high school graduate finds the first real thrill of collegiate atmosphere on this memorable day in making the necessary adjustments demanded in the new community. The Big Sisters of the Associated Women Students may well be credited for their aid rendered to the new little sisters who find themselves in an environment strange and bewildering. .I15,1 SARAH L.

The individual of today should be rightly educated for the service of all mankind. The rights of humanity are championed by the students of an institution in which ideals for universal peace, good will, and right and honest living are instilled. The entire field of education, asbbrloed as life itself, has responded to the ever increasing whirlwind of progress. The modern college offers valuable training in citizenship, and opportunity for achievement through co- The two years just closed mark a period of quiet accomplishment. The Course of study has been .revised to meet newlneeds in kindergarten, elementary, junior high school, and secondary education. A pre-kinder- garten school and a junior high school have been established.

The faculty have forgotten their dignity and join the students in two brief hours of festival celebration and welcoming. Picture Mr. Edwards in the quad and Dean Dimmick on the balcony of our famous old tower doing 3 Romeo and Juliet. Mr. Newby has forsaken his German and Spanish callings to dance the fandango in the role of court jester.

Their work finds written expression in essays, short stories, poetry and drama. The Quill, which is'the semi-annual literary publication 'of San Jose State, has con- sistently maintained a praiseworthy standard of content. This magazine is the spokesman of the English Club and the medium through which the talents of writers seek recognition.

JUNE GRADUATE Members of the English Club Five hundred and seventy-one years ago the first book to be printed in the English language marked a milestone in the evolution of English literature. Today the classics of all tongues have been translated into English and grace the shelves of luxurious libraries. They are open to the poorest and richest comer alike. The ixivention of reading and writing was a greater boon to man- kind than can be easily conjectured. An organization which fosters achieve- ment in the field of English literature is certainly meritorious. A. W. S.

This event is conducted by the Markham Poetry Chapter of the English Club, and is sponsored by former Senator James D. Phelan. The pleasures of the day were devoted to leisurely walks through the beautiful estate, melodies from the strains of an Hawaiian trio, lunch on the spacious veranda, and a splendid program of poetry and music in the amphitheatre. I241 GHOSTS MUMMIFY INITIATES October 12, 1926 Hark! Out of the dead quiet of night break the echoes of footsteps softly measuring up the iron stairway of the tower. The moon beams through a small window and beholds a real Egyptian mummy awaiting the doomed. The ordeal has just begun and the initiates succumb to the terrors of mystery and darkness and silence.

But their journey has not been rocky all the way. They have dwelt in the House Beautiful, they have climbed the Delectable mountains, their Interpreters have been kindly, and Hope has been their comrade. , . Among those graduating this semester, only six are representatives of the Junior College department, the remaining number receiving general elementary certificates or the educational degree. So those behind, still laden down with a heavy burden of Ignorance, take heart at the successful progress of these graduates and wish them llBon Voyagel, 1n their future pilgrimage. l271 EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP CLUB NTHUSIASM and'interest in the work to be accomplished is the measuring factor of ultimate success. The splendid direction which. has been afforded this organization by Miss Gertrude Rowell has reaped its reward of achievement in service to San J ose State. To promote the ideals of good citizenship becomes the build- ing material and purpose of activity in the club. Each of the three citizenship classes engage in project work. During the year a luncheon was sponsored by one, a candy sale by another, and an Easter basket sale by the third class. These endeavors were socially and financially successful.

Witness this example of that heritage: George Ebey, the stern master, has commanded an erring young frosh to ask on bended knee that ever timely question of Winnie Roberts. Apparently she considers the whole procedure a mistake. Then there is another scene strewn with seriousness and dignity. The court is weighing the evidence against two newly ordained members in the Order of the Green Dink. The thundering throng put their thumbs down in favor of the tickletoe, a popular skin game that touches the funnybone. Thus the Frosh are brought to judgment before this court which seeks to preserve the ten ttThou shalt not,s and mete out punishment to those guilty or not guilty.

Any frosh who garters up his hose should be proclaimed a rare specimen and therefore exhibited to the public eye in the estimation of Sam Reed. There is much of nothing in the last act! Pardon the photographer, Mr. Newby, for catching you unawares. This verdant group had decided to turn the tables on the Sophomores, but . . . There is an old adage: nHe who hesitgtes is lost?

Sev- eral hundred students eagerly awaited the appearance of the warrior Spartans. Pent-up excitement could no longer be contained and the wild cheering oi the crowd indicated where their sympathies were centered.

Soon the struggle was over. As the fifty-two participants stepped out of the quad on this cool September afternoon, the crowd was conscious of a change in its moral atmosphere.

The Mens Club composes the entire number of men in the college, both faculty and students. This constantly growing organization directs its energies toward giving the new students a helping hand; acts as a socializing unit for the men; and is an ever- ready booster of student body projects. Through the channels of this club have come many of the customs and traditions that are building a greater Alma Mater spirit. The annual ThanksgivingtTurkey Feed is the out- standing event of each year. The purpose of this grand get- -t0gether is manyfold in that the out-of-town men Who are unable to go home may enjoy a dinner such as any mother could spread before them. The football team act as the honored guests of the club, and the'general spirit that prevails during the evening is bonded with a great mutual fellowship. The semi- -annual tie- -up fires the Freshman- Sophomore interclass spirit while the custom of holding Kangaroo Kourt as a means of correcting the wayward frosh is instructive to the Freshmen and amusing to the upper classmen.

A real thrill marked the rather uneventful game when Peila stopped a 45-yard run on the San Jose 5-yard line after eluding three Modesto men. i521 MODESTO BLUE DEVILS Play Initial Game Demonstrating great defensive power the line'held three onslaughts of Modesto until Ebey recovered a fumble on the fourth play and put San Jose out of danger. Two spectacular returns of punts for 40 and 50 yards by Torres and Hubbard also brought the rooters to their feet. A number of new men appeared on the field for their first college football, and the results gave promise of well rounded squads for this year and future years. i531 0 BE the dean of men of any institution of learning. has its coveted honors in a title which shrouds the real work of directing social welfare of the group, making adjust- ments and surmounting difficulties which naturally are presented, and championing the idealism of the modern education. Dean Knollinis interest in men has also found itself on the field of spoyt. Under his splendid leadership, athletics in the past three years, has jumped from a minor activity into the foremost rank of importance. The present athletic program as sponsored by the Physical Education de- partment of San Jose State is far in the lead of all other California State Teachers and Junior Colleges. A word of praise, to commend the line work which Coach Knollin has accomplished in football, is written deep into the records of our athletic history. He had a hard row to hoe on the field of sport during the football season, but carriedoff conference honors in baseball.- To individuals who place a keen interest 1n duty, the modern educational enthusiasts must bow in gratitude for the greatness of theirutheory.

STAGE SPRING JOLLY UP February 16, 1927 Pep is the best word to use in describing the spring Jolly-Up of the Woments Athletic Association held in the Quad. The large crowd of girls present enjoyed a lively program of games, dances, and stunts. After the characteristic good eats, the Frosh assisted by a few kindly upperclassmen acted as clean-up committee. I601 HORSES! HORSES! HORSES! October 22, 1926 HTheretll be a hot time in the old gym tonightw Such were the predictions of the young folks who held in anticipation the occasion of Katy McNary,s old time barn dance. As the curtain of evening lowered, a great, golden moon hung 10w over the valley picturing an ideal setting for this harvest event. The beaus of our community had approached the farmers for miles around with the desperate cry ttA horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horseV, The tione horse shayi, of other days came into its own with the old gray mare better than she use to be many long years ago for everyone was coming to the affair a la buggy ride. What happy memories may be treasured by each equestrian knight and his fair one! Memories of the old barn, hay strewn, with its rickety buggy in one corner, harnesses, ladders, pitchforks, sawhorses, happy people and musical instruments keyed to the tunes of the Virginia Reel, Pop Goes thai Weasel, Turkey in the Straw, and Ruben, Ruben, Iive Been Thinkixf! SPARTANS CRUSH DRILLERS October 8, 1926 Completely outclassed, Bakersfield was crushed by a 14-0 score in the second conference game. Playing on the San Jose field before a record crowd, the Drillers never came within scoring distance of the San Jose goal, while the Spartans lost two opportunities to add to their points. In general the team showed improvement after the additional week's practice. Interference was better, the aerial attack functioned to advantage, and the line held well. U521 TORRES AND BENTON SCORE Second Conference Benton made the spectacular play of the day when he intercepted a Bakersfield pass and ran 60 yards to score with San Jose interference nicely taking out every opposing tackler. The other score came earlier in the game when Torres romped over the line on a 22-yard run after receiving the ball on a pass from Hubbard. All in all, things looked fair for the crucial game with San Mateo the following Saturday.

San Jose was outplayed by a faster, better- conditioned team. San Mateo gave a sensational performance of clever and shifty football. However, San Jose was far from passive. I741 - . HUBBARD SCORES TOUCHDOWN Record Crowd Attends Immediately after Schlicting of San Mateo broke away for his spectacular scoring run in the first frame, the Spartans retaliated with a smashing drive straight down the field for a touchdown. A pass, Hubbard to Torres, netted forty yards, and terrific plunges by Hubbard and Carmichael put the ball across. Peila, Spartan tackle, was an outstanding player of the game, while Hawley and Escobar were also responsible for excellent work on the line. I751 Dick Stoner, guard Buckh, Hughston, end ! Captain hTinyh Carlyon, guard SANTA ROSA FUMBLES TO VICTORY A rough game, played on a wet slippery field, was won at Santa Rosa by the Junior College men, 12-6. In general, the game was an unsatisfactory aEair, the rough playing, poor field, and crowding spectators being augmented by correspondingly poor football and a serious injury to a San Jose man. Breaks of the game aided Santa Rosa to. victory after being doped to lose. A blocked kick and an intercepted pass were responsible for her two scores. I761 Anthony Escobar, center Verde Hawley, guard Joe Brown, guard GOLD AND WHITE YIELDS THE PIGSKIN The bright light in the gloom for San Jose came in the second quarter when Hubbard broke away for a 45-yard run which he stretched into a touchdown on the next play. Hughston, Benton, and Bill White also played well for Sparta. Hal Hawley, however, suffered a broken collar bone and pulled ligament when tackled in an attempted reverse play. h771 ESTHER FIELDS LAURA FROST HAZEL HOCKER KATHRYN GOOD SANTA CRUZ ELMIRA BURLINGAME OAKLAND A.

October 21, 1926 Shades of night! What are these spectres that so boldly stalk in the glaring daylight on the campus and intermingle with the noon-time crush on First Street? Shades of Knight! On come the wakeful rovers garbed like the mechanics of 1896, the original limburger cheese, the Goddess of Dawn tready for gymL the happer, the boy-with-the-barrel Gust from the 0P swimmint holeL the hunter for an honest man or woman e tantique lantern in handL the soldier of Valley Forge, and Venus. H361 VARIETY SHOW STAGED ON FIRST STREET Neophytes Initiated These spirit spectres are preparing to emerge into Spartan Knighthood, and are the souls of George Buchanan, Leroy Brown, Alex Bache, Arthur Carr, Sewall Hatcher, Ervin McMillan, Frazier Reed, Aylett Sparkes, Bill Sweeney, Bill White, Warner Wilson, and Herb Winters. Poor souls, they must grope about like this, until sundown. Then they will be fed and liberated into the night, as Knights of San Jose State's new service hatern.ty. i871 POLY SCORES LUCKY THIRTEEN October 23, 1926 Dope on the San Luis Obispo game failed to run true to prediction, for the Polytechnic men, beaten by two touchdowns in the Modesto battle, who had been held scoreless by San Jose, should have proven inferior to the Spartans. Thirteen points, however, garnered by two place kicks, and a touchdown, put San Luis on the comfortable end of a 13-0 score. Aerial attacks by both teams marked the game, although the success of the plays was not particularly striking. H381 PIGSKIN FAVORS SOUTHERNERS Sparta Dope Fails However, San Josehs ends, Laws and Hawley, on the receiving end of Hubbard,s passes, caused Poly con- siderable trouble, and at one time a series of throws brought the Spartans within striking distance of the goal. Paviso, who was hurt in the Modesto game, staged a comeback and played well against San Luis, while Bob White, Peila, and Hubbard also played a good game for Sparta. I891 Roy Pinkston, fullback Jim Beatty, end George Ebey, end BULLDOGS BITE SPARTANS Fresno State defeated San Jose by the most disastrous score of the season when the Bulldogs routed the Spartans with a 34-0 showing. A stone wall line and a versatile backfield were the factors in Fresno's victory. Herb Winter, Spartan fullback, was the only wearer of the Gold who was able to penetrate Fresno territory, and his removal in the second quarter with a bad sprain completely dashed San Josets chances. I901 Joe Amori, end Dick White, center Clifford Murie, fullback THIRTY-FOUR-ZERO SCORE Excepting in the first quarter San Jose seemed weak in both offense and defense. Return of a punt and interception of a pass were responsible for two of Fresnots goals, and an aerial attack by San Jose saw only one completed pass. Of San Josets .men in the game Winter at full, VVauhab at tackle, and Graham at half were conspicuous. Hubbard and Hawley also performed with the pigskin after their usual manner. l911 BLOCK S. J.

HERE are tales stranger than fiction about a motheris darling child making his first Innocence Abroad. Tales about little Oswald who has made an impression on the other boys HIS first day of school. Perhaps his clothes were too tidy or his manner a trifle striking. Neverthe- less, he had made a striking impression, so the other boys waited for him after school and sent him home with a new philosophy of life, etc. At college the Sophomores feel a tremendous urge to rectify the MISTAKES of life. Having successfully passed through the ttfroshii stage themselves, their capability remains unquestioned. Accordingly a fracas is arranged and through much manipulating of strength and ropes, all the little Oswalds are sent home with a new philosophy of life, et cetera. CHICO BURNED IN EFFIGY BEFORE THOUSANDS October 28, 1926 The greatest bonfire in the history of San Jose State and the largest crowd of spectators ever to assemble for a single event keyed the spirit of the students and faculty to the highest pitch of the entire year. The occasion heralded the coming football fracas with Chico, a formidable and unconquerable opponent. Added to the excitement of the big blaze was the downtown serpentine of one thousand students. Of course, there was the proverbial brass band which is the forerunner of such events and the usual spirited yells and songs which tell the good community of San Jose that there is somewhat of a thriving college in its midst. 11021 ITS THE JINX October 29, 1926 The A. W. S. Jinx, a symbol for fun and frolic, was held on a dark Friday night in the Ments Gym, where King Pumpkin ruled over a kingdom of orange and black, and where witches and skeletons hung, casting a spell of weirdness over otherwise gay, collegiate, cosmopolitan dancers. Refreshments, consisting of orange ice, cat-cookies, and pumpkin candy attracted hoards of Chinese, sailors, darkies, Spaniards, elegant senoritas, kiddish children, as well as Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, and the really western cowboy. Why Gentlemen Prefer Blondesf a dancing singing skit, a boxing skit, and recitations provided the entertainment for this motley heterogeneous mob. As the hands of the clock approached twelve, the Jinx hid his face; for the music died away, the crowds departed, and lo-the lights faded out!

True, the Cardinals figuratively painted the Spartan held a bright, glowing red, but the attitude of the San steans who cheered heartily for the victors and who stayed in the bleachers while a hundred Chico rooters serpentined marked a victory for San Jose in the battle to develop real spirit here. t1061 CHICO TRADITIONAL RIVALS Show Great Spirit Despite the score the teams were quite evenly matched. The first and third quarters were scoreless, and a tremendous drive started in the third by San Jose threatened to even the score. Torres and Hubbard shone in the Spartan backfield with plunging attacks.

To Bill Sweeney, the LA TORRE staff extends its most sincere appreciation for the services rendered in his capacity as editor of the State College Times. The LA TORRE edition was a vital factor in the success of the yearbook sales campaign. The publicity and co-operation that the Times has given LA TORRE throughout the school year is highly commendable. May this spirit, which has so splendidly shown true co-operation during this school year, develop more and more throughout every college activity that San Jose State may ttCarry Oni' 1n the best interests of the institution. I1121 DR. PALMER INTRODUCED TO STUDENTS AND FACULTY November 16, 1926 Professor E. Laurence Palmer, of Cornell University, is the greatest living authority on nature study. He is pictured above with a group of students who are curiously admiring the pet snake which this man of international distinction carries in his coat pocket. Through 'the efforts of Mr. Peterson, Dr. Palmer Was' secured by the institution for a short extension course in nature study. Many students and faculty availed themselves of the opportunity to attend the lectures. San Jose State may, indeed, consider it a privilege to have had the fortune of offering Dr. Palmerhs work to the students and faculty.

And for their treasure they have captured a humorous magazine which bids; fair to appear quarterly 0n the campus. After a much disputed discussion in regard to naming the enterprise a decision was reached by the students in favor of iiSPASMSf, hereinafter to be designated as the oHicial title for San Jose Stateis humorous magazine. The first issue of Spasms has set a splendid pace for the future of the publication not only in the contents of art and manuscript but also in the actual composition and make-up of the work. The achievements of Clarence Taylor in this project are highly commendable because in the face of many diHiculties he succeeded in his efforts.

I1201 SWIMMING With the introduction this year of water polo as a sport, swimming has taken a more decided jump to popularity than ever before. Miss Tucker, swimming coach, is responsible for intro- ducing the new sport and for coaching the teams that are slowly and surely developing the line points of the game. The nucleus of the swimming work has centered around the Wednesday night diving and polo class. This is an advanced class for life-savers, of whom there are about twenty-iive in the college and for prospective life-savers who want to come in and practice for the test as well as for the diving. During the semester the belt and spring board in the Menis Gym have been utilized, with remarkable results. The use of the belt gives the girls a conlidence that is used to good advantage in acquiring the knack of iispringing the board. The dives taken up this spring have been straight front, racing, back, back Hip, swan, and front and back jacks. Some very good dives have gradually been developed and the girls who have not completely learned their dives, have at least acquired a working knowledge of the fundamentals of diving and can practice by themselves to good advantage. Besides this advanced class, there are the regular day classes, beginning, intermediate, and advanced, which have shown a willingness for hard, constructive work that has produced sur- prising results. These classes have taken up the various strokes, fundamentals of diving, and life-saving. . Under the direction of Miss Tucker, Emily Houston, and Christine Otis, life saving examiners, the Red Cross tests have been given and passed by a large number of girls. The examiners and life-savers were assistants in swimming instruction and life-saving, during the week of .May 16, when the Red Cross held its concentrated Swimming Week. HZII AMPHIBIANS, ACTIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION UNIT Organized 1926 The organization of the Amphibian Club has introduced another new activity into the field of woments ath- letics. Under the supervision of Miss Tucker, swimming coach, the members have not only gained an under- standing of the technique of swimming but also they have accomplished much in the way of a permanent organization that has a worthy purpose. In conjunction with the Club activities, an exhibition program was sponsored wherein many feats in aquatic art were presented. I1221 TENNIS Tennis bids fair to be one of the major sports in womenis athletics. This year competition was very keen due to the fact that a great many more girls were interested than during the previous years. Beginning the sport with a tennis ladder and ending with interclass meets, tennis had a booming season. About twenty-five names appeared on the ladder. This fact accounts for the competition. The outstanding part that tennis plays in the activity program occurs on the annual play day which schedules tennis tournaments for the competing schools. The competitor is San Francisco State Teachers College. VOLLEY BALL Volley ball is no longer considered a minor sport, but is now a major activity which attracts many of the women students. The apparent simplicity of keeping a ball volleying back and forth over a net requires an unlimited amount of practice. Skill is not so easily attained in this game as is the common conception. The mere simplicity of the game and the quick results in scoring makes the enthusiasm of the players very keen. All of the elementary sport classes have volley ball and participate in the intra-mural games. Under the leadership of Miss Tucker volley ball has become a leading activity of the women. BASKETBALL Basketball season opened with a great spirit when 75 girls signed up for the sport. Throughout the entire period of playing, a line interest was maintained by those participating. The teams were evenly matched! and each player displayed commendable ability. The Freshman team outrivaled all opponents and ran off with the inter-class championship. The Yellow Jackets fell to defeat before the onslaught of the Tarzans, which were captained by Eunice Petersen. The score was 21-6 in the final intramural game. qu BASKETBALL In the inter-class games the Freshmen first displayed their superiority over the upper class contenders when they emerged victoriousfrom their first game. The score, in favor of the lower classmen as oppased to the Junior-Senior team was 25-18. After the Sophomores had outscored the Junior-Senior players, it remained for these victorites to settle the finals with their rivals, the Freshmen. Accordingly, a hotly contested battle in which the Freshmen emerged perspiring under the score of 32-21, was staged. At least the frosh may claim one distinction; that of holding the basketball inter-class championship. Miss Kroncke, the coach, is deserving of much credit for her splendid work with the women in this major sport. HZSI ' HOCKEY Another semester of intra-mural and inter-class hockey was brought successfully to a close with the Freshmen winning the seasonts championship. Despite the fact that the rain ruined the held for the major part of the season, several fme teams were developed, and some exceedingly fine hockey was played at the end of the fall semester. t1261 HOCKEY Intra-mural hockey took the form, as usual, of competition between teams composed of members of the Elementary Gym and Sports classes. Miss Kroncke, hockey coach, was assisted in the sport by Miss Tucker and Miss Wing and the refereeing and umpiring was done by the majors of the coaching class, under Miss Kronckets direction. The champion intra-mural team was captained by Roberta Walker and showed a splendid brand of hockey before the season was over. l1271 HOCKEY Inter-class hockey was won by the Frosh, but competition was keen and until the end of the season ,the result was in doubt. Miss Wing and Miss Kroncke coached the inter-class teams, which were composed of'members of the after-school sports class. wThe results of the inter-class games were: Junior-Senior vs. Sophomores, tied, 2-2; Junior-Seniior vs. Frosh, Frosh 2-0; Freshmen vs.lSOph0mores, Frosh 2-1. H.281 ARCHERY Archery, the ancient sport of old England, is rapidly gaining recognition as a major sport throughout the United States. Likewise at San Jose State, this sport is growing constantly and is receiving more and more attention. The beginning. Archery classes, crowded with aspiring young women, haVe as their ideal not only the piercing of the bulls-eye with one clean swish of the arrow, but chiefly the attainment of'the. perfect form which makes the sport so attractive to view. ' ' ' Not merely content with ability to hit a regulation target from a certain prescribed distance; the more advanced archers haVe organized a class in archery-golf, a newly popularized sport. This game is a com- bination of archery and 'golf-as its new name suggests--witthth'e bow and arrow replacing the club and: the elusive ball. In other respects, it is similar to golf. This class is quite large, and is enjoyed greatly. i1291 SPEEDBALL Speedball, a new sport under the able coaching of Miss Tucker, aroused much enthusiasm from all of the classes. The game is a combination of soccer and basketball, and is played on the soccer field. The interest taken in this new activity caused track to be ruled OR the spring sport list. On March 23 the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by a score of 10 to 8. The Freshmen fell to defeat again the following evening at the hands of the Junior-Senior team, scoring but 9 points against the upper classmen's 15. The final clash took place on March 25, at the close of which the Junior-Senior team was proclaimed champions of the inter- elass series. T1301 STATE COLLEGE BAND The State College Band has played an important role in the spirit of college life. The players have displayed a wonderful attitude in supporting the games played not only on home territory but in many instances on foreign ground. A few assemblies, notably the Lincoln Memorial assembly program gave a part to this musical organization. Perhaps the boys of the band made the most noise and played the hardest during the memorable night which found every loyal Spartan at Tracy rooting in vain for the basketball conference championship. l1311 WHITE COLLARS BOB BUCHSER AND VIOLET STEELE TAKE HONORS Director, Miss Virginia Sanderson The Senior Class made its final contribution to college life before the footlights. The excitement was drawn around a play which aimed to portray Njust ordinary folks,, and their class distinctions. The story is comical, and snappy, and clever. To relate: the Thayers might be the family next door, and life is very real to them and very serious. In the third act, tragedy stalks and suspense reigns. The breakfast table scene is pure melodrama; the audience, however, watches with its tongue in its cheek, for there is something familiar in this family expose. Joan, the daughter, marries her millionaire boss, and brings him home to live with the family. Complications arise and Cousin Henry, who is something of a loudspeaker tbut ad'orable neverthelessi, tries to convert the bridegroom to some of his rather hixihflown ideas about the G. M. C. tgreat middle classi. Of course, a happy climax must occur and so out of the clouded sky of family squabble comes the rainbow of a complete, happy reunion with all the trimmings of forgiveness and understanding until the next opportunity for diHiculty presents itself.

He discussed the values derived from education and clarified many points in his three advantages of the educated. Each of these advantages were developed fully. Congressman Arthur M. Free'shortly after his return from Washington addressed the student body. His topic was, nCongress and How Business Is Transacted? He told about the party system of legislation, the caucus, and the various committees. 1 136 J MOUTHS OF MALE STUDENTS ,WATER BEFORE TURKEY SPREAD Thanksgiving Feed Annual Men's' Club Custom Turkey, deliciously stuffed with tasty dressing, and flavored with juicy cranberry sauce, served as the main dish on the bill-of-fare at the annual Thanksgi ving Turkey Feed which is sponsored by the Men's Club. In conjunction with the grand banquet a program is presented which is keyed t0 the spirit of the occasion. If there is ever one time of the year when faculty forget their dignity and act like students, this event will claim the distinction. The Home Making Students of the College prepare the food, as the above scenes so aptly illustrate.

Of all the mornings of the year, this was the prize winner for a cool reception of the Tau Delta Phi neophytes. Six otclock ante meridian and Jack Frost put on his heaviest white coat of the season to help make Tau Delta Phi's initiation a long to be remembered early morning event. The neophytes that; were subjected to the honor of polishing the numerals of the graduating classes at the main entrance, as a means of warding off freezationt, until old Sol dawned in the east, were Herman Buchser, Fred Dale, George Dermody, George Ebey, and William Mette. Without a doubt, the old tower was the scene of the most enervating activity. Here it is that the playground of Tau Delta Phi transfers the grim, gray walls of silence into a veritable bedlam of torment for one sixty minute hour. During the day a large number of ignorant Frosh looked in amazement at the chair placed on a plank extending from the uppermost balcony! of the tower. Just what could be the object of this mystery, each succeeding generation of neophytes are fully qualified to tell them. DR. JAMES C.

Steadily growing in student enrollment, assuming increasihg attrac- tions for the entertainment of its members and the entire College Student Body, the J unior College is prepared to witness even greater acceleration during the 1927 fall semester. In the term just completed the Junior College offered, as is its usual custom, the annual J unior College Banquet. The evening affair was attended by over two hundred students, who bore proof to the increasing importance of the J unior College. A skating party at a local rink brought out an unprecedented number of College revelers to participate in the fun- making.

SEWELL HATCHER SAN JOSE Junior College President II Freshman Class President I Co-Operative Store Board I, II Spartan Knights San Jose Players Student Affairs Committee II JUNIOR COLLEGE Increasing national popularity reverts to the instance of the unlooked-for growth of a most active unit of the College. Universities, finding them- selves unable to cope with the tremendous demands for admission, the task of accommodating those unable to immediately enter the larger College falls to thesJunior Colleges, who, on the whole, offer as good, and, in not a few cases, better primary college academic training than the universities. Looking for a steadily climbing registration, plans are being perfected to enlarge San Jose J unior College along all lines so as to be elastic enough to assimilate the army of students Who desire admission. JUNIOR COLLEGE The growth of the Junior College Division of the college has been phenomenal during the past three years. According to present indications, San Jose will soon have a new building which Will be devoted exclusively to lower division university work. At present, many hundreds of Junior College students are pursuing academic courses side by side with students enrolled in the teaching curriculum. t1661 .,4 ,1 dcff. hfnxt .I t x .1. t .

The low hum of a crowded auditorium, lights, deep blue velvet curtains against white walls. A hush, and then the throb cf mus?c. A Christmas tree sparkling, and a-twinkle with tinsel and lights. Near the door a cross in soft gold light gleams from behind a wreath of holly. People moving about, well dressed, at ease. A girl on a ladder careless of shortened skirts calls forth a well modulated reprimand from Mrs. Gilliam tEvelyn DangbergL her mother. Unperturbed, Dilly tOlga GekklerL remains perchedeith easy nonchalence upon the ladder. It is the church vestry, Christmas Eve, and here the cultured wealthy have gathered to exchange costly gifts, and to talk about the ungrateful poor, Who even then were crowding about the door in search of warmth. To talk also of the young minister who had changed s;nce the war, and even urged the poor to come to THEIR church! H901 MARSHALL HALL MARGARET MILLER ALTON SCOTT SAN JOSE SAN FRANCISCO CASPAR La Torre Sales Rally Committee Kangaroo Kourt Prosecuting Attorney KATHRYN ADAMS MATHEW THILTGEN EVELYN CAREY LOMPOC SANTA CLARA NORTH BEND, OREGON Menis Glee Club A. W. S. Big Sister SAN JOSE PLAYERS One is impressed with the bored restlessness of these people, Mrs. Tice tMargaret Hoodi, who feels that her husband has been reprimanded from the pulpit; Mrs. Thornbury tRuth Soule John- soni, a young divorcee; Dr. Wadham, the rector tOscar Reschei; and James tFred Alleni, the package laden sexton. The atmosphere becomes tense with the entrance of Clare Jewett tCatharine Planti, charming, young, pretty-torn between her inborn love of luxury and her love for the young minister. She is selfish, but her selfishness is surface; basically she is fine, but pitifully afraid of herself. Hers is the tragedy, the pathos, that underlies the calm surface of everyday life; the plaintive minor note that creeps out in a gay lilting melody. Jerry Goodkind tClarence Taylori and she have exchanged glances. Jerry is trying to break her hold on a slipping world. A clever, wily ttman about town ; he is slowly undermining her engagement. He has everything and nothing. He has position, money; she character, quality. Insolently, he banters, accuses, exhausting Clare,s every reserve, and finally triumphant, bows himself away, cool, aloof, and suave. As the play moves, and the story told, one lives with the people, and in the moment when Mr. Bebefield tEllard Truscotti and Mr. Stedtman tDick Lewisi are arguing over the ministers tactics, one feels their pettiness, sees their outlook, and thrills, when in a pause, the door opens and Daniel Gilchrist enters. Daniel Gilchrist tDon HascalU, tall, slim and earnest, smiles quietly. iiA church that is not big enough for two little men, Mr. Benefield, must be rather crowded for God? The voice, dreamy, gentle, and vibrantly resonant, soothes. It is the only calm on the rippled surface, penetrating, deep, and delicately reflected in the candle glow before the cross. i1911 GERTRUDE GLOYD SARATOGA WESLEY GORDON SAN Jose OLGA GEKKELER ELWYN BELL HELEN GOODRICH RICHARD LEWIS PETALUMA SAN JOSE SUNNYVALE SAN JOSE On the Mantlepiece Game of Chess Christmas Carol Game of Chess A.

Big Sister La Torre Staff SAN JOSE PLAYERS Moving from the church vestry t0 the wealth home of Mr. Goodkind after Clare has, in desperation, married Jerry, t0 the rooms of Danieli Gilchrist in Overcoat Hall where he has been forced to go after losing his ministry, the play convincingly tells of the greater thought of a man, and how his depth and understanding plead with those, about him, touching even the dregs of life that drift past him in Overcoat Hall. Mack tJimmy Stephensoni, a refreshing bit of humanity in search of an overcoat; Grubby tVernon Perreni who took to drink because cabs went out, and then drink went out; Mary-Margaret tLillian Ralstoni, pitifully crippled, but believing and loving with crystal pureness of ideal; and Pearl Henig, who lost her hold on life because of her love of that life, but who was touched also by Gilchristis strength. These and others, Umansky tRichard Colteri a huge fellow with an appealing face and urgent plea, eloquent in his broken English; Henig. Pearlis husband tErnest Talberti, representative of that type of workingman who is suspicious of good and ever ready to condemn evil; and the snarling mob from the streets about Overcoat Hall, who literally ttcame to seat? but remained to pray? ' The curtain closes down as the last is told, deep blue against alabaster walls. But there still lingers in oneis mind the poor manis voice tLouis Pettithommei as he talks to Gilchrist with the gold glow of the cross between; the understanding of Daniel and Clare as they deny themselves because of right and the greatness of their love; and the little scene between Daniel and Mary-Margaret as he tells her with infinite tenderness in his kind voice, the story of Cinderella. ALL THE WORLD IS A STAGE! The dramatic season of 1926-1927 made its debut On the Mantlepiecei, 1n the first of a series of fourteen one- act plays under presentation by the San Jose Players. The audience gasped with surprise when the curtain rose and revealed a spacious mantlepiece decorated for Doll Land. In the center of the mantle sat the versatile Willard Maas, disguised in the robes of a ttchink doll. On the left sat Miss Olga Gekkler, impersonating a beautiful but haughty parlor doll, and on the right her disappointed lover, the shepherd boy, alias Dick Lewis, sat bemoaning the fates. Miss Helen Campen, as the gheerful, loving rag doll, lay in a forlorn heap near a huge candle. Of course, it was a simple but well enacted love play which concerned itself with the reconciliation of the parlor doll and the shepherd boy through the artifices of the rag doll.

The material for the magazine is obtained by means of the semi-annual contest which is judged by prominent citizens of the community. The contributions in the Quill issue of January 20, 1927, were judged by Mrs. Herbert Jones .and Mrs. Fremont Older.

Mr. Miles A. Dreskall, who was formerly concert violinist in the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, is the conductor, and Mr. Henry Zander is the con- cert master. Mr. Jan Kalas, cello soloist and one of Californiais most accomplished artists, was for many years a member of the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra. The contributions of the music department to college life have been, indeed, vital; the services of the orchestra have been indis- pensable. Among the outstanding presentations of this music unit are the semi- annual formal complimentary concerts, and the Music Week recitals. The orchestra also entertains at most evening functions in the auditorium. The Christmas productions, the dramatic events of the San Jose Players, and the Senior Play are among the annual projects which claim music as part of the entertainment. On December 15, 1926, the most notable program of the school year was presented by the orchestra in concert. The program has been recalled that those who may find their interest on these pages may sample the work of this musical group. PROGRAM 1.

The benefits derived from this institution within an institution find a large measure in the sum- -t0tal of health standard ' in the college and happiness of the students. Miss McFadden has worked ardently on this student body project since its inception. To an individual who has so generously given her services in the cause of student. welfare is recorded this, her achievement: THE EDWIN MARKHAM HEALTH COTTAGE. i2031 THOU SHALT NOT QUEEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES The penalty for queening is severe.

This new organization fulfills a real need which has been looked forward to for several years. The increased number of colleges playing the game in this vicinity made this the logical year to organize. Upon the invitation of Mr. S. A. Francis, soccer coach at San Mateo Junior College, representatives of several colleges met to plan the new conference. At a later meeting a consti- tution was adopted and a schedule drawn up. I 205 1 SOCCER This made the first strictly intercollegiate soccer organization on the Pacific Coast a reality. The last conference meeting was held just prior to Christmas vacation. Mr. Maloney presided and representatives were present from Stanford University, University at California, San Mateo Junior College, and San Jose State College. Several communications were read from colleges stating their willingness to join the conference at a future date. Mr. Maloney announced that he had introduced the new conference to the National Collegiate Athletic Association. As a consequence the California conference has been asked to become the western branch of this national association. Action in regard to this matter is at present pending further consideration. i2061 SOCCER The championship trophy was awarded to San Mateo for 1926, thus bringing to a close a most successful soccer season as sponsored by an organization which seeks to aid in the promotion of soccer on the Pacilic Coast as an intercollegiate activity. 1927 SEASON OFFICERS Harry Maloney .....................................................

In recalling the features of a long-neglected event, the J une graduates of 1927 have re-established Senior Week as the big annual climax t0 the school year. The foremost contribution of the week includes the academic procession of the faculty at Baccalaureate services and Commencement, and the adornment of cap and gown by the seniors during the entire week. CALENDAR JUNE 11: The Senior Ball as supervised by Mary C'ribari will herald Senior Week in all of its dignity. JUNE 14: The inauguration of the Freshman- Sophomore Reception Will U acclaim the birth of another tradition. JUNE 15: The age- -revered custom of giving a faculty reception Will make its bow on the lawn underneath a J une sky. JUNE 16: Jeanette Van Druten has planned a llClass nightli Which will linger long in the: memory of the graduates of J une 1927. JUNE 17:Fred Allen will take the class star-gazing to Mt. Hamilton. Just another annual custom! JUNE 18. The Alumni are returning to tribute their school of other days and meet the friends of yesteryear. It is llhomecomingh for the ll01d gradsV JUNE 19: The Memorial Auditorium places the setting for another Bacca- laureate service under the direction of Margaret Kenny. JUNE 21: COMMENCEMENT! The climax of dear old college days; the parchments that mark accomplishments; and another step onward into the light of our world. Anna Zimmerman will assume the- chairmanship of Senior Week. When naught remains but memory of this succession of events the graduates of J une 1927 may return for Homecoming and look upon the only material tradition that remains of their class: the numerals ,27 engraved on the walk in the quad. l 218 J N INDIVIDUAL claims a fine idealism in truly serving his associates. Karl's efforts to- ward establishing a real fellowship between faculty and students have brought a great forward step in the social progress of San Jose State. During the Fall semester be promoted a plan designed to bring the men students of the institution into closer relationship with the men of the faculty. As a consequence a series of weekly ttopen-house nightsm were scheduled and given over to entertainment, forum discussion of common problems, and the promotion of a more intimate acquaintanceship among those in attendance. His activities as faculty advisor to the graduating classes, supervisor of the college grounds, and spokesman for the Ments Club have taken him into the heart of college life and rewarded his associates with a friendship ever to be cherished. COACH H. C. MCDONALD HE gods gave Mac a goodly share of individuality and blessed him with a imind to call his own? when problems or diHiculties come to him for a solution. This fact was notably demonstrated in the triple series of basketball tossing with the Blue Devils of Modesto. To have come up smiling with his characteristic commentaries after having cham- pionedhis Gold and White five within an ace of victory is merely a single instance of the spirit which always claims a great moral triumph. It is men like Mac, who carries the confidence of his co-workers, that contribute a splendid work in the building of college athletics. JOHN HANSEN, Manager SUMMARY OF BASKETBALL SEASON Coach McDonaldis 1926-27 Spartan cage squad made a fine record during the past season, winning fourteen of the twenty- one games played. Of'the fifteen con- ference contests the Goldand White men were Victorious in eleven, the quintet finishing in second place inj- the final standing. TEAM GETS FINE START After losing a close game to the Uni- versity of Idaho on New Yearis Eve, the San Jose team got ofic to a nice start in their first conference contests, defeating the Bakersfield J. C. aggregation twice, the scores being 34-12 and 30-16. Jess Regli starred with eighteen points in the two games. SPARTANS LOSE THREE The following Friday and Saturday eve- nings the Gold and White loSt a'double- header to the Fresno State Bulldogs at Fresno, and on January 21, .the Spartans dropped their first conference contest of the season to the Modesto J. C. 27-25 on the home court. BASKETBALL SAN JOSE STATE 15, UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO 21 Playing their first game of the season on New Year,s Eve, the Gold and White basketball team received stiff opposition from the University of Idaho Vandals of the Pacific Coast Conference, losing by the score of 21-15. Throughout the entire first half the San Jose men were unable to penetrate the visitors five man defense. A free shot by Vagts and a long field goal by Jess Regli saved the Spartans from a shutout in this period, which ended 16-3 in favor of the invaders. The San Jose team settled down in the final half, and goals by Taylor, Regli, and Hubbard brought the Spartans score up- to 14 in this period. The Idaho offense was only able to add five digits during this half, their final count totalling 21. Judavine and Canine with 12 and 9 points, respectively, were the high-point men of the game. Jess Regli starred for the Gold and White, scoring five markers ' which were closely followed by Hubbard and Taylor with four each. I2221 J OSEPH AMORI, Guard HAROLD HAWLEY, Captain, Forward FRESNO 37, SAN JOSE 33 In the first contest, Coach McDonald started his veteran line-up' with Taylor at center, Regli and Hawley at forward, and Hubbard an'd'Brown' at guard. This combination did not function so well, and a number of substitutions were made. Sam Reed, who took the place of Hawley, scored three field goals. Tom Maloney, who played the linallive minutes of the game, made three beautiful long shots in addition to two fouls, which all but tied the score. ' FRESNO 32, SAN JOSE 28 The following quintet was started in this game: Vagts and Maloney, for- wards; Robinson, center; Hubbard and Laws, guards. This team played in great style during the first half, and consequent- ly led at this period of the contest by the score of 15-13. Adam Vagts, star Spartan forward, made a number of spectacular shots, bringing the crowd to its feet on each occasion. Tom Maloney also figured heavily in the Spartan scoring, and Laws played a fine game at guard. Inability to guard Burr lost this contest for the Gold and White. With the score separated by two points, the tall Fresno center broke through the San Jose defense for the final points which decided the contest in favor of the Bulldogs. BASKETBALL FRESNO DEFEATS SPARTANS The Spartans fell victims to the fast attack of the Fresno State Bulldogs in two hard-fought non-conference games played on the Raisin City pavilion Jan- uary l4 and 15. The respective scores were: Fresno 37, San Jose 33; and Fresno 32, San Jose 28. Burr, lanky Fresno center, played two marvelous games for the Southerners, scoring thirty-fo-ur points in the two con- tests and at the same time displaying a fine quality of defense work. He was aided by Wilhelmson, fast Bulldog for- ward, who added fifteen digits to the Fresno score. Maloney with fourteen points and Regli and Vagts with nine each led the Spartan offense. Hubbard and Laws played at guard for the Gold and White and did good work, the showing of Laws being especially commendable. I2231 WILBUR HUBBARD, Guard AWBREY ilLUCKY LAWS, Guard MODESTO 40, SAN JOSE 25 The Gold and White quintet traveled to Modesto February 19 for a return game with Coach McCart,s Pirates, and inci- dentally were outscored in a fast finish 40-25. The Spartans started off in a persistent manner, goals by Maloney, Regli, and Hawley giving them a 12-3 lead after five minutes of play. After taking time out the Pirates went to work in earnest, cutting down the Gold and White lead and forging ahead 19-17 as the half ended. Olson, Modesto star forward, played a beautiful game, breaking up Spartan plays right and left as well as shooting field goals with unerring accuracy. With Munson, Olsen, and Craig leading the field, the Pirates ran rough-shod over the San Jose men in the second half, scoring at will during the final moments of play. Tom Maloney was high scorer with fifteen markers, .and Olsen was not far behind with thirteen. The additional San Jose points were pretty evenly distributed throughout the team. Hubbard played the most consistent game of any man on the San Jose squad, and it was largely due to his efforts that the Pirates did not run up a larger score. BASKETBALL GOLD AND WHITE WIN SEVEN STRAIGHT At this time the Gold and White cagers started a winning streak and annexed seven straight victories. The Santa Rosa J. C. were .the first victims, losing two games 57-6 and 35-9. These contests were played in the State gymnasium January 28 and 29. Captain Hawley and Tom Maloney were high scorers for San Jose in these games. The team took its annual Arcata trip between semesters and trounced the Humboldt State men in two encounters 44-10 and 40-11. The Arcata Firemen also fell prey to the Spartan attack, losing 24-9. Hawlevy was high pointsman of the contests with forty-two markers. On February 11 and 12 the Gold and White cagers took the Sacramento' J. C. into camp, winning 45-29 on Friday and 45-22 on Lincolnls birthday. The team played good basketball from start to finish. i2241 DANIEL LINSTEDT SAM REED STATE DEFEATS CHICO Facing a powerful team in the Wildcats, the Spartan hoopsters showed their best form of the season, trouncing Chico State 35-12 in the initial contest of a two-game series played at San Jose on February 25 and 26. Tom Mialoney was high point man with twelve markers and was closely followed by Captain Hal Hawley with eight. Jess Regli played well at the other forward position, scoring four digits as well as displaying good defensive work. The Gold and White guards, Hubbard and Laws, turned back the Wildcats in splen- did fashion, holding Captain College, Chicois star forward, scoreless throughout the game. The score at half time was 6-3 in the Spartans favor, but in the final period the Gold and White men hit their stride and completely overwhelmed the visiting aggregation. By winning this game the San Jose team went into a tie with Chico State for second place in the conference standing. BASKETBALL SAN JOSE LOSES TO MODESTO, WINS FOUR MORE The Modesto Pirates set the Spartans back a notch on February 19 by the score of 40-25 on the Modesto floor, but the San Jose men made a comeback on the ensuing Monday and Tuesday evenings, overwhelming the San Luis Obispo Poly- technic team 29-12 and 34-8. Tom Maloney and Jess Regli led in scoring. The San Jose guards also displayed good form. The State Cagers won both ends of a doubleheader from the Chico State .Wild- cats on the following Friday and Satur- day evenings, and the series for the Cali- fornia Coast Conference title was played the following week, Modesto nosing out the Spartans by a scant three points in the final game at Tracy. HOW THEY SCORED Tom Maloney, star center, was high point man of the team with 146 digits for the fifteen conference games. Captain Hawley was close behind with 117, and Jess Regli added 81 t0 the Spartan total. The balance of the team scored as fol- lows: Hubbard, 40; Reed, 26; Stark, 26; Vagts, 20; Taylor, 11; Laws,.9; Linstedt. 6; Amori, 4; Brown, 4; and Robinson, 2. i2251 JESS! REGLI, Forward WILLIAM ROBINSON, Center MODESTO WINS FIRST GAME OF SERIES Making a great comeback in the final eight minutes of play, the Modesto Pirates defeated the Spartans 28-21 in the San Jose gymnasium before the largest crowd of the year. Jess Regli and Tom Maloney scored heavily for the Gold and i White with nine each, and Munson and Stewart, center and forward, respectively, added a like number of digits to the Modesto score. The San Jose men played fine basket- ball during the first half, leading at this time 14-9. Vagts starred for San Jose in two line side shots. In the earlyvmoments 0f the second half this lead was increased to 17-10 at twelve minutes from the end of the contest. The tide then turned, and four minutes later the Pirate five took the lead for the first time, the scoreboard reading 19-18. The Spartan defense then crumpled, and the Modesto men soon ran up the commanding lead. BASKETBALL SPARTANS REPEAT The Spartans were again victorious on the following evening by the score of 30-19. This victory gave San Jose State undisputed possession of second place and the right to.play the Modesto Pirates a three-game series for the conference championship. Playing true to form, Tom Maloney was again high scorer, this time with seventeen. Hawley was second with nine, and Regli repeated his previous perform- ance with four. The Chico men made a great comeback in this game, and with but eight minutes to go, the score was deadlocked at four- teen all. Jess Regli then received a great cheer when he put the Spartans in the lead with a beautiful long shot. Maloney and Hawley followed with additional points, and the game was won. Wilson, scrappy Wildcat forward, played a great game for his team, but could not stem the tide single-handed. Both teams played a tight defensive game, using the flve-man defense system to good advantage. Hubbard and Laws functioned well for Coach McDonald,s quintet, covering the opposing forwards well and making them shoot mOSt of their shots from a distance. ALTON STARK GERALD TAYLOR, Center PIRATES ANNEX TITLE Before a shrieking thousand rooters, pro and con, the Modesto Junior College quintet annexed the California Coast Conferenec title when they won the odd game of the series at Tracy on March 4 by the score of 28-25. Captain Sid Olson of Modesto covered himself with glory by scoring thirteen markers for high point honors besides displaying a high class exhibition of basketball. ' The strategy that had worked so well in the previous game was again employed by Coach McDonald, but this time it failed to work. The second team played a fine game, the score at half being tied at twelve all. Linstedt featured for the Gold and White with two spectacular long shots. The Varsity went into the fray at the beginning of the final period, and although fighting a game battle, gradually began to lose out. Captain Hawley played mar- velously for the Spartans during the period, fighting from beginning to end, but his efforts came to naught when the gun went of1c announcing the end of the contest. Wilbur Hubbard played a re- markable defensive game for the Gold and White, breaking up plays right and left and passing with uncanny accuracy. BASKETBALL SAN JOSE REVERSES DECISION Due to great strategy on the part of Coach McDonald the Gold and White team was enabled to even the series with one all at Modesto on the following Sat- urday night, emerging victorious 22-16. McDonald started his second string team, which was composed of Stark and Reed at forward, Vagts at center, and Linstedt and Amori at guard. This quin- tet played the Pirates off their feet dur- ing the first half, holding them to a single field goal, but due to ability to score on fouls, the valley team led at half 10-8. The Varsity team composed of Regli and Hawley at forward, Maloney at cen- ter, and Hubbard and Laws at guard went into the game at the start of the second half. Led by Captain Hal Hawley, who played his best game of the season and incidentally was high scorer with ten, Stateis quintet overpowered their oppon- ents and wrested the second game of the series from them by a siX point lead. Captain Olson of the Pirates was guard- ed closely, as was his teammate Munson, and with their offense broken up, the Modesto men could do little. The San J ose guards showed up better than at any time during the season, holding the home team down to three long field goals. t2271 ADAM VAGTS, Forward BASKETBALL Here are the 1927 runners up for the basketball conference championship. The showing made by these men in competition with the other conference teams is worthy of recognition. In view of the fact that next seasonhs team will be composed largely of veterans, the prospects are, indeed, very encouraging for Spartan basketball. RAYMOND W. BARRY, Ph. D.

Tracy Basketball Tilt Hailed as Greatest Contest Memory lingers on the great moments of life! Perhaps the outstanding event of the college year played to the wild emotions of a thousand cheering, roaring, shrieking spectators who had journeyed down the great! valley of the San Joaquin and through the passes from the valley of Santa Clara to Tracy. A championship was at stake; the Blue Devils of Modesto were to clash with the Spartans of San Jose. What a game was played on that memorable night! What a great victory was won by Modesto! It is contests such as this one of record which serve to bind a splendid college spirit in the hearts of those who are loyal supporters of college athletics. H301 COMMENCEMENT! A DAY IN THE GOLDEN AGE February 2, 1927 Morris Elmer Dailey Memorial Auditorium gathered within its walls all of the beauty, all of the charm, all of the dignity incumbent upon this memorable occasion. Dr. Frank Waters Thomas, Vice-President of the Fresno State Teachersl College, presented the commencement address, thus making an admirable contribution to the exercises.

I2411 SOPHS TRIUMPH IN QUAD TIE-UP March 25, 1927 Verily, verily, we say unto you,' studes, the battle was terrible, the toll was heavy, and many were there stretched out on the grassy green. But such, we also say unto you, must always be the fate of those lowly verdant mortals who would possess the extremely fool-hardy desire to beard the mighty Olympian gods in the unworthy attempt to bring them down from the lofty security of upper-class. And thus it comes about on that great day when freshmen hearts do soar and fall again. The sun does beat unmercifully down upon that square which is soon to become the place of bitter condict. And all about the central space there are gathered throngs of high sister goddesses, who do grow impatient for the beginning of the struggle. And in the center of the square mighty deities do stride about, and they do gesticulate and do look at their watches. And then at last a great cheer does rise to the heavens as forth do come the sophomoric Olympians, many in number, and clad in varying quantities of battle armor, some of which are abbreviated as to the covering for the arms and legs. And these members of a brave army do gather in one corner of the grassy plot under the shade of the palms, and do look unconcerned and exceedingly courageous. VERDANT FROSH TASTE GREEN Bloody Semesterly Struggle But 10, another army does appear, and this time is heard the faint echo of a feeble cheer from the balcony oier head, where do blossom certain green-capped specimens of humanity. But behold, the verdant warriors of the second army do wear the badge and color of their tribe upon their visages, each in a single stripe which is of the color of grass, across their manly brows. And now a curly-headed arbiter does walk out in the center of the square, and the two armies do approach from either side, and do circle about this chief, and do hold a pow-wow while cameramen do take pictures to be handed down to future generations. After said pow-wow, the opposing warriors do line up on opposite sides of the green and they do eye each other while the chief does stand alone and unafraid between them, and does try with great efforts to shoot a revolver, but does finally give it up and does blow a whistle instead. Whereupon the warriors do advance bravely to- ward each other, and do show no Sign of fear, because the goddesses do cheer for them, and do gaze upon them. And 10, there is death in the eye of each warrior as he chooses his man and clinches with him, and the bat- tling humans do strive against the mighty gods and they do roll over and over on the turf, while the gardener of Olympus does look on, and does weep at the great rents which are plowed in the grassy green. NOTED MEN CONTRIBUTE TO COLLEGE EDUCATION In the upper left is pictured Mr. Thomas, Vice-President of the Fresno State Teachers College, who was the Commencement speaker at the February graduation.

Manager Here are the men that directed the 1927 track team to the conference championship. 2461 880 yardeSparkes. White, Downing MileeAmori, Stark, Beatty TRACK SAN JOSE 66, FRESNO STATE 55 Hal Hawley was high scorer with fourteen, as was Kaster of Fresno. The former placed first in the shotput with a heave of forty-two feet, two inches and took seconds in the broad jump and the two hurdles events. Paul Yeager took first in both sprints, and Lawrence and Hubbard captured the first and second positions, respectively, in the quarter mile. White and Amori placed second and third, respectively, in the mile, and Taylor threw the javelin one hundred seventy-flve feet to take second in this event. The meet was close from start to finish and the result was in doubt up to the relay, which was easily won by the San Jose entries. The Spartans were invited to defend their laurels at the annual Santa Barbara invitational meet and were beaten out for first place by the San Diego State aggregation, 42-38V2, which was just 2w6 of a point higher than the Pasadena J. C. men were able to tally, after an afternoon of record-breaking performances, nine records being broken. One hundred and fifty athletes from ten of the smaller colleges of the state competed, and the meet was exciting from start to finish. Had Ocho Lawrence not pulled a tendon in his leg during? the half mile relay, the Gold and White men would have been returned victorious as San Diego won the only five points for the event. The Spartans made the best time and distances of the year, performing brilliantly in almost every: event and fighting every inch of the way. Alton Stark and Bill White, who placed third in the two milel and mile runs, respectively, ran their best races of the season, adding extra points to the San Jose total. Not to be outdone by their team-mates, the Spartan half milers made a clean sweep of the event, Sparxkes winning in the record breaking time of 2:02 minutes, being closely followed by Hubbard and Downing, respectively. 7 Uncorking a great sprint, Hubbard placed a close second in the quarter mile, and Sparkes took fourth. Yeager starred with thirds in the hundred and two-twenty yard dashes, and Hal Hawley won the broad jump with a record leap of twenty-one feet, four inches and placed first in the high hurdles besides taking a third in the shotput. Tiny Taylor heaved out the javelin one hundred seventy-iive feet to take third in his favorite event, and Tom Tigner finished fourth in the high hurdles. Ross ran well in the relays, running neck and neck with his opponents all of the way. Coach Cakebread was more than pleased with the manner in which the various athletes performed, and it is expected that the Spartans will make the trip to Santa Barbara again next year to regain their lost laurels. l2471 SAN JOSE STATE 105, SAN MATEO J. C. 17 Paul Yager was high point man and easily the star of the meet. He ran the 100 yard dash in the remarkable time of ten seconds flat, won the two-twenty yard dash, and placed first in the broad jump with a leap of twenty feet, eleven inches. Sparkes, regular half miler, was used by Coach Cakebread in the mile and came through in great style, winning in the fast time of 4 minutes 47V5 seconds. The remainder of the San Jose men performed well in their respective events. I2481 SPARTANS-PIRATES 67V2, STANFORD FROSH 54V; The Stanford Frosh fought gamely, but were no match for the two California Coast Conference teams. Yeager was high point man for the Spartans, placing in the hundred, two-twenty, and broad jump. The quarter mile was won by Morrison of the Frosh in 51 seconds flat with Hubbard and Lawrence, Gold and White runners, close behind. Hal Hawley performed well in the high hurdles, broad jump, and high jump. He cleared the bar at 5 feet, 11 inches in the latter event and placed second. ' Sparkes won the half mile in 2 minutes 3iXs seconds, which is fairly good time. White ran well to take third in a fast mile. The javelin event was won by Taylor, and Perren placed third in the shotput. Kranz of Stanford put the iron ball out a distance of over forty-six feet and tossed the discus over one hundred forty-six feet; The sprints were won by Kingsbury of the Frosh and Pogolatti of Modesto won both of the hurdle races.

The mighty Augustians will no longer don the cap and gown as an annual event but Will content themselves to be graduated either in February or June. In a great measure the August class graduation has outgrown its purpose. The constantly increasing number of students that are preparing for the teaching profession are more than supplying the demand for educators. As a con.- sequence there is a strong tendency to raise scholastic standards and make the field of teaching more attractive as well as more selective. The system of graduating three times per year in order to have a more rapid turnover in the colleges has been succeeded in teachers colleges by the practice of institutions of university rating. The August Class has served a worthy purpose. Members have collaborated With the June Class in an eifort to build a stronger iiAlma Materii spirit that the iiold grads may want to return for each annual homecoming. The history of the class this year is particularly noteworthy in that it is the largest August graduating class and the last August Class graduated from San J ose State. i i2521 t X TUDENT body government is very often frowned upon by skeptics as unpractical and unstable because of the rapid turnover of student administrations. To look at the past accomplishments under a system of democratic student government at San Jose State tends to falsify the theory of incompetency. The Health Cottage, purely a student body project, is a great monument of service to those who support it. The Co-operative Store, another student enterprise, has proven of great worth and profit to the institution. The change made in the business policy of the store in conjunction with the managing of the student body finances is ample proof of student ability to meet the adjustments that arise from rapid growth and reorganization. The most recent enterprise that student government is sponsoring is the Student Center. Plans which were brought about during the presidency of Robert Rhodes have rapidly materialized under the administration of his successor, Vernon Perren. Thus the stability and practicability of student body gov- ernment is insured, not by its rapid turnover of student administration, but by the carry over of the fundamental institutions and organizations that such a government sponsors and perpetuates.

GLEE CLUB Organized 1925 ttMusic hath charmsV The Second Annual Variety Show scored as the outstanding col- lege musical production of the year. A well arranged program sought variety in concert, mu- sical comedy, dramatic expres- sionism, and tumbling stunts. The event played to a capacity attendance who expressed their musical appreciation by a grand procession of applause. The San Jose State Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. George T.

Council Sigma Mu BEL CANTO FEBRUARY-JUNE-AUGUST VICTORY OPENS SEASON A well played ball game and a deserved victory for State over the San Mateo Junior College opened the season at San Jose on March 16. A large crowd was out at Sodality Park to witness the first contest. A double by Lanyon, scoring Carmichael and Regli after two were out, was one of the main factors in the Spartan victory. A triple by Critser, scoring Taormino, was another feature of the game. Lefty Johnson pitched a great game for San Jose, holding the peninsula men to hve scattered hits, and striking out nine men. A home run by Jess Regli with two on base was responsible for a 3-2 win over San Mateo in the game played at Stanford the following Saturday. Pinkston pitched for San Jose, and held San Mateo to six hits. Regli caught the game. t2621 A SETBACK AT SACRAMENTO - A flock of errors was chiefly responsible for a 12-5 defeat administered to the Spartans by the Sacramento Junior College in a game played at Sacramento on March 25. Johnson also was hit freely during the first six innings of the game, allowing 12 hits. Pinkston, who pitched the last two innings, allowed but one hit and no runs. Four runs made in the ninth were insuHicient to overcome the commanding lead of the Yellowjackets. With the advantage of five additional games, it should be a diEerent story in the game with Sacramento, scheduled for the local Asahi diamond, now near at hand. Spartan supporters are confident that the setback received at Sacramento will be reversed. POLYTECHNIC FALLS California Polytechnic School of San Luis Obispo was the next to fall before Spartan onslaughts in league combat. The game was played on the Asahi Field at San Jose, April 13, and resulted in a 17-12 victory for State. In one particular the game was probably the queerest played in the Conference this year. Coach Knollin used only his substitute team in the game, with exception of pitcher and catcher, and when Regli had his finger knocked out of joint in the seventh it became necessary to play the rest of the game with only two men in the Spartan outfield. At this time the score was 17-1 in favor of San Jose, but during the next two innings San Luis garnered eleven more runs, making the score somewhat more equal. DOUBLE WIN OVER MODESTO At San Jose, Saturday, April 16, the Spartans chalked up a 12-8 win over the diamond representatives of the Modesto Junior College. Johnson and Regli were the San Jose battery. What looked like certain defeat was transformed into victory by States team in the second Modesto game, played at Modesto the following Wednesday. At the beginning of the seventh San Jose had made but two hits and two runs, and Modesto had a six run lead, the score standing at 8-2. A combination of walks, Modesto errors, Spartan spirit and smashing Spartan hits followed which shook the foundations out from under the confidence of the Modesto rooters, and at the end of the inning it was discovered that San Jose had made 10 runs and that the score stood 12-8 in favor of State. Three Modesto tallies, scored; in the ninth, failed to be enough, and San Jose won 12-11. In the ninth, with two out, Johnson pitched superb ball and struck out the Modesto pinch-hitter, saving the game. Tucker pitched the first part of. the game, and Regli caught for San Jose. HUMBOLDT GAMES San Jose won two victories over Humboldt State College on two successive days, April 5 and 6, when the northerners invaded San Jose on a barnstorming tour. Both games were won by a one-run margin, the score of the first being 5-4 and the second 11-10. SCORES OF GAMES Place Score Sodality Park ...................................... .

T herels a purple-shadowed canyon that exists but in my dreams, Where the sunlight only enters on a few wide-scattered beams. In this canyon of my fancy is a brook thatls bordered by An ancient row of sycamores whose tops caress the sky. Here in solitude I wander when I wish my mind at ease, W here the sycamores are sighing, in the breeze. In each lifels humdrum are some times that come to all, When a personls occupation loses all its force to call. So my own vocation forfeits all the charm it once possessed, And my soul and mind and body all beseech me for a rest: To my dream world then I journey and my spirit there appease, W here the sycamores are si'ghz'ng, in the breeze. Have you, friend, a fancied hamlet, where your soul may find surcease, Where your tired mind may wander, here and there, as it may please? If you havenlt, find yourself one, for ltwill be a place worth while, W here the frown with which you enter will emerge a glowing smile! Donlt- you feel the soothing ripple of the brook thatls lneath the trees And the sycamores a-sighing in the breeze? -LOUIS R. PETITHOMME. -: ;-u-u -. . Hug. s. . N. V TEE . ' , . . - k ' l ' I .
