You'll never know all of Chico State unless you go: you'll never know what living at the foot of the most majestic White King is like unless you try it. Living in tents, eating the best food in a huge screened cafe- teria, ambling the afternoon away in a meadow by a babbling brook, seeing the morning sun give its flush of rainbow to our Mountain, and the evening's beauty a regular Alpine glow to huge fields of snow. Just ten years ago the administration conceived the idea that a summer session was a necessity for a growing college, and that going to school in Chico temperature was an impossibility. The icy vantage-point of the valley seemed a logical place to seek coolness and beauty for an educational setting. With the cooperation of the citizens of Mount Shasta City a very primitive set of build- ings greeted the brave pioneers seeking educational advantages in 1919. Since that time the state has acknowledged the advisability of the venture and has taken over the ownership of the property, increasing its original boundaries by the purchase of Bfteen acres of meadow land, and is steadily adding permanent improvements. In a very short space of time, the original back-woodsy campus has reached the dimensions of a summer resort: and some of the pioneers even sigh at seeing cement walks and grey-painted buildings go up, even though they realize that civilization has its advantages in cleanliness. Summer School should be a part of your experience at Chico State-Come to Mount Shasta. A -.i.,3f I2 V THE NEW BUILDING UST a little more than a year after the fire which destroyed the main building, ground was broken for a new building which is the very essence of modernity. In December, 1929, the State of California began the construction of the Admin- istration building, which is the first unit in the ten year building plan for our college. The plans call for four additional buildings, one of which will be con- structed every two years. On March 8, 1929, at a very impressive ceremony, under the Chico Lodge of Masons, Number lll, the cornerstone of the new building was laid. This event took place just forty years after a similar ceremony for the original build- ing in 1889. The new cornerstone was placed just above the old cornerstone, which had never been opened, because the material within is not old enough to be of much historical value. Sometime in March President Osenbaugh announced that a short inscription to go over the main door was needed, and asked that the students and faculty offer suggestions. Many worthy of consideration were received but the one suggested by our financial secretary, Miss Emma Woolsey- Today Decides Tomorrow -was finally accepted as the most fitting. As this book goes to press, the new building is well along and it seems assured that it will be ready for occupancy at the opening of school next fall. I3 Ewa..

They furnished many participants in athletics who brought honor and fame to the school. The Student Body chose a number from the class to serve as Student Body officers. The class gained recognition by its participation in music and dramatics. The Juniors contributed to the social life by putting on the Junior Jig, in the College auditorium, under the supervision of George Stuckey, president. and Ruth Watterson, social leader, during the fall semester. They had a similar affair during the spring semester. The class helped to make Pioneer Day outstanding and their assistance was felt at all times during the year. -..ggi 30 531-,- L TM, , ,K .

AMBROSE GARRIGAN The Freshmen began their service for Chico State very early this year by helping prepare for the big bonfire rally before the Sacramento football game. glihey have shown a fine loyal spirit in complying most admirably to any request or help. They added to the social life in the fall semester by a dance at the Memorial auditorium, using football appointments, following the game with California Aggies. The colors of both schools were used in decoration. Members of the two teams were special honor guests. On April 12, the Freshmen entertained the Student Body again by a delight- ful sport dance at the Odd Fellows Hall. The members of the class were associated with nearly every activity on the campus, adding materially to the strength and honor of Chico State. -..sgf 32 lg..- QfjefM i I pxssed along the water s edge below the hum1d trees My spxrlt rocked ln evemng llght he rushes round my knees My sp1r1t rocked m sleep and s1ghs and saw the moorfowl pace All Clr1pp1ng on the grassy slope and saw them cease to chase Fach other round 1n crrcles and heard the eldest speak Who holds the world between Hrs bzll and made us strong or weak ls an undying moorfowl and He lzues beyond the sky Thr razns are from H15 drrppzng wzrva the moon beams from Hrs eye I passed a llttle farther on and heard a lotus talk Who made the world and ralclh Il He hangelh on a stalk lor l am ll?

Every member is alive with ambition and energy and a willingness to serve. Such a state of affairs never 'ijust happens but is brought about by wisely directed leadership and in this case, the director, Miss Anna Louise Barney being not only a dramatist but a poet as well, has that dynamic quality and that vision which inspires in all her students a determina-- tion to succeed. One of the problems of the department has been to provide opportunity for aspiring Thespians to gain experience in public performance. This has been solved by the giving of student directed class performances. A variety of plays has been selected and different casts chosen in-soffar as was possible, thus afford- ing practice for a large number of students both in acting and directing. One of the happy results of this plan has been the discovery of unexpected talent in a number of instances. This year for the first time original work has been done by the dramatics department in writing plays. Two plays of this nature were produced on Pioneer Day. The lirst, a burlesque on our own dramatics department and the modern drama, was written in collaboration by Raymond Denlay and Stacy Wiser. The second, a burlesque on The Front Page, a Broadway success, now running in San Francisco, was written by Hamel McKay. The general public, understanding little of the creative or technical side of producing plays: dazzled by the glamour of the footlights, and carried away by witnessing the play, do not think of the long hours spent by the author in writ- ing it, nor the efforts of those who attend to the costumes, lighting, scenery, tickets and publicity. 35 Ea..- Dear The The The Easy Pipe Pipe Plays of the advanced class were: Christmas Chime-November l, coached by M.

Two plays which were given at the regular assembly were Evening Dress Indispensable and Rich Man, Poor Man. The latter, a one-act farce replete with laughable situations, was vociferously applauded by the student body. The plot was laid at a rummage sale in the poor section of a small city. The hero of the play CMario Caprij won the lady of his choice by a practical demonstration of his willingness to sacrifice everything--even his nether garments-for her. It was directed by Dorothy Brown under Miss Barney's supervision with the fol- lowing cast: Emma, Maeola Eastburn: Kitty, Clara Powers: Peter, Mario Caprig Yetta Goldstein, Helen Hitt: Mrs. Bonelli, Helen Merrifield: Mrs. Ole Oleson. Evelyn Perigo: Mrs. X. Y. Smith, Thelma Cleek: Visiting Nurse, Adeline Olm- stead: Largo Johnson, Elvin Miller: Mrs. Patrick Haggerty, Ella Wohlfrom: Mrs. Tammas MacPherson, Ruth Watterson. A number of plays have been presented before various outside clubs and organizations to satisfy an increasing popular demand for such entertainment. CHRISTMAS CHIMEH A repetition of this brief, interesting play by Margaret Cameron was pre- sented before the Girls' Hi Y of the Chico High School. It was directed by Mrs. Cecil Hitt fMiriam Rileyj. UNDER TWENTY This was one of the important plays given during the fall season. Written by Westerfelt and Clements and produced under the direction of Anna Louise Barney by an exceptionally good cast, it pleased a large audience at the College auditorium. A dog playing the part of a detective created quite a sensation in this play. The characters in the play were: Ida Parnum, ,,,,,.,,.,,,.,,.,,,,,.,, ,..,.....,.. . .. ...,. ..-.. .......

Lois Barstow The action of this play dealt with the idiocyncrasies of a certain modern Happer who had developed a Russian soul as her latest whim. Her mother brings her to her senses by the ancient ruse of arousing jealousy: and the story ends with the daughter's departure for an evening of gaiety with the most faith- ful of her lovers. The acting of the whole play was exceptionally well done and this play will be remembered as one of the best one-act plays given this season. Tl-IE CHRISTMAS PLAY- THE LOVELIEST THING The nature of this presentation was in accord with the deeper meaning of Christmas. The story is that of a family who have lost the Christmas spirit and to whom it is restored by an unexpected visitor playing the role of Santa Claus. The play was produced under Miss Barney's supervision and marked improve- ment was noticeable in the work of some of the actors over previous perform- ances. Incidental music was under the direction of Dorothy White. while the stage settings were designed and executed by Antonia Faulkner and Mario Capri.

The Family Upstairs was selected and rehearsals were well under way when Miss Barney received word from the pub- lisher that the play would not be released for amateur production. Not wishing to disappoint the expectant audience, work was begun immediately by an entirely different cast on a three-act comedy, Tea For Three, by Rio Cooper Megrue, Some of the members of this cast did remarkably well considering that they had only one short week to put on rehearsals.

They were given on the eve- ning of November 12 in commemoration of Armistice Day. The first play was a Chinese fantasy by Ruthenburg into which a note of weirdness is introduced by a prophetic willow tree that talks. The second, a French domestic comedy by Meilhac and Halevy was very cleverly enacted and the third, a Russian farce by Anton Tchekov, full of dramatic fire and action was in striking contrast to the first two and a fitting climax to the evening's entertainment. The three plays were performed by the following actors: --vii 3 8 ite'- THE GOOSEBERRY MANDARIN' , Prologue .,...,.. ...,...................................,.,.... ... - - Vorus Roulsten Mandarin ....... ...... ...,.. ......,.. .v.... . . .,,, L o uis Olker Ping Loo ...Y -- - ......... ........,........,....,.,. .

At present several other plays are in rehearsal, but it is still too early to say much about them save that, in all probability, they will be: The Romancers, given as an out-of-door production on the campus early in June, and a group of classroom plays to be given during May in the College auditorium. Among them will be: When the Whirlwind Blows, Action, The Rescue, Fleur- ette and Company and Wrong Numbers. Some worthy work has been done in the staging of plays. The three most outstanding plays in this respect were: The Loveliest Thing, Tea For Three, and The Hand of Siva. These were respectively staged by Antonia Faulkner and Mario Capri, Gertrude Luehning, and Pauline Huse. -..agf 407135-a... N ,f'N - X.. . ,!'Nw,. ,. N, , N. .

I-Ii Jinks was, of course, the big event of the year, but the monthly dances sponsored by the Student Body were fairly well attended. It is to be regretted that more of the students do not attend these dances. The spirit of a school may be reflected in, its socials. GET-TOGETHER PARTY The first dance of the season was the informal one at which the entering Freshmen were introduced to college life, as well as to a good many people. The dance 'was held in the Odd Fellows Hall and was about as much fun as any of the dances staged during the fall season. FROSH HOP The Freshman Class staged the second dance of the year, in cooperation with the Student Body, at the Memorial Hall on October 12. The party was an informal non-program affair at which the California Aggies football team were special guests. Willamae Monroe headed the committee on arrangements and is largely responsible for the success of the affair. Brandstatt's six-piece orchestra furnished the music. HOME COMING DANCE This dance was held on the evening of November 3 at the Memorial Hall, following a banquet given by the newly-formed Alumni Association. The dance climaxed a day which had been filled with activities celebrating the return of the many old grads. The four sororities were in charge of the decorations and arrangements for the affair. Punch was served to the dancers from an old fash- ioned Well which had been cleverly constructed in one corner. Music was fur- nished by the Sierra Stars. A JUNIOR JIG Ruth Watterson, Junior social leader, was in charge of their annual affair which they put on in the Assembly Hall. The programs were a special novelty. Miss Barney and Miss Maxwell were patronesses. CHRISTMAS DANCE The Christmas dance, held on December 8, was a colorful occasion. The Yuletide motif was used throughout. Students caught the holiday spirit early this year and made the occasion a merry success. Iota Sigma was in charge of the tree: Delta Alpha Pi decorated the hall, and the Block C had charge of the punch. WHOOPEE DANCE The first dance of the new year was put on by the Rally Committee, on January 18. The affair was a peppy one and the dancers had great sport making Whoopee after it was dished out early in the evening. STUDENT BODY DRAG The Student Body gave an informal dance on Wednesday evening, January 30. Members of the California Aggie basket ball team were the special guests. The affair was such a success that the students begged President Osenbaugh to let them have just one more dance, but the Prexy was nrm and the party broke up regretfully. ...wif 42 SOCIALS SPRING SEMESTER I-JE PRINTEMPSH was ushered in early this year, accompanied by the usual hay-fever, flu, sunshine, flowers, and a crowded social program. Aside from the Student Body affairs, the various sororities, fraternities, and organiza- tions on the campus were busy with Several closed dances and parties of their own which more than filled the social calendar. THE EROSH HOP The Freshman Class held the first Student Body dance of the semester on April 12 in the Odd Fellows Hall. The crowd came and went during the eve- ning at intervals. The track men who did show up, had to leave obediently at Coach Acker's enforced hour. Others arrived late, having attended the carnival at the Chico High School, And so the jolly dance progressed. Music was fur- nished by Schott's lively orchestra. Card tables were placed at one end of the hall and some enjoyed bridge playing during the evening, Cold punch was on hand to rcfreshen the merry dancers. PIONEER DAY DANCE The day's merriment of May 17 was closed with a boom, featuring the annual Pioneer Day dance. As a climax to a full day of fun the event was a 'iknockoutf' Prizes for the best costumes were awarded at this time, and many and varied were the costumes of that day, too. Gay maidens laughed and flirted in their ruffled petticoats and laces. l'Hard-looking whiskerinoed hombres draped themselves about and added atmosphere to the occasion. The music was good and the punch was better Cin a nice wayj. So all in all the dance was everything that could be expected, equalling all those of the past, and forming a good example for all those to follow. BLOCK C DANCE On the evening of May 23 the members of the Block C Society were hosts to their ladies at a delightful closed dance held at Richardson Springs. Novel decorations featured the dance, and music was furnished by Schott and his pair of jazz babies. The dance was a sport affair and very informal. A delicious buffet supper was served at the dinner hour. Miss Barney and Mr. and Mrs. Acker acted as chaperones for the dance. --eil 43 RALLIES HE OLD school spirit was not especially outstanding at Chico State this year. However it flared up higher than ever on several occasions. Three big rallies were held during the year by the yell leaders. The first one, held at the Senator Theatre, October 12. on the eve of the Chico-California Aggie contest, was not as great a success as had been hoped for. Yells and a stunt were given but due to indoor conditions the yells lacked some of their lust and enthusiasm. The second rally, held on the eve of Home Coming Day, for the football game with Oregon State Normal, was a huge success in the opinion of all who were present. Over three hundred students paraded through the streets of Chico, singing and cheering madly, and then returned to the campus where a huge bonfire was awaiting them. The serpentine was led by an eight-piece pep band. Songs and yells were led by the yell leaders at the bonfire and even a drizzle of rain did not da-mpen the spirit that was aroused. The third rally was a street rally held on the eve of the Chico-San Jose basket ball contest, March 8, under the direction of Yell Leader Milton Roth- well. It was very well attended and again the old school spirit flared up anew. Several assembly rallies were held during the regular assembly hour through- out the year and showed that the students were behind the teams, boosting, whether they won or lost. -..ggi i3g.....

Louis Olker and Maxon Mellinger entertained with WILDCAT SCAMPER I-IE ANNUAL SCAMPER held just before Christmas vacation may not have been the best yet : but the crowd was far from dissatisfied. As usual, the big event and highlight of the evening was the Freshman- Sophomore basket ball game, in which the players wore gloves, and played with- out rules, although kicking an unconscious opponent was frowned upon. The grudge bout between Phil Herbert and Laverne Kesselring ended with Kesselring on the canvas in the middle of the iirst round. Frank Piluso put Dot Clements away in the first five seconds of their bout. These two fights were a big disappointment to the crowd. who had hoped to witness lots of slugging and bloodshed, McGrath was awarded a technical K. O. over Bill Louderback, for the latter had trouble with his knee and could not go on. Roy Lawrence and David Fillipe put on a good fight to a draw, as the open- ing event. Merton and Tobingson, Freshmen, won over Skelly and Durham, Sophomores, in the free-for-all, Durham being another K. O. victim. Hamburger and White, slightly inexperienced but willing, put on a wrestling match in which Hamburger won two consecutive falls. The fastest round of the evening was put on by Jack Rannells and Wesley' Hummel of the Chico High School: during this hectic battle Rannells received a broken nose and retired. Later in the evening Hummel took on Norman De Vol. Chauncey Wilson was the little fellow behind the megaphone and Ben Steffen refereed. Hap Miller put on a comedy stunt. flt really is too bad that Hap doesn't appear oftener in the guise of a lady, He makes such a charming one. Pleasantly plump and all thatlj S HI J INKS HE ANNUAL Girls' Hi Jinks was held last year on November 17 and was heralded as the most successful one in the history of our school. Over three hundred and nfty girls, including faculty women, were present, all gaylv dressed in costumes of every description. Many countries and different characters Were portrayed by the laughing, dancing, merry-making crowd. The program, which took up most of the evening, was enthusiastically received by the audience. The various clubs and organizations staged the follow- ing skits: Prodigal, a story of health, was put on by the girls of the Home Eco- nomics class. The faculty showed their usual ability in presenting Statues? , a portrayal of famous masterpieces. The Alpha Chi girls staged a Bowery pantomime called Frankie and Johnnie, with Maxine Forcum singing an accompaniment. The Shoemaker and the Elves was presented by the Candlelight Club in pantomime. The Lanternlight girls, wearing pretty gold and purple outiits, staged a clever drill. The Delta Sigma Epsilon presented Love Through the Ages, which traced love-making from the age of the cave man to the love of future days. The College Girls Christian Association gave a novel act entitled In the Region of the Stomach, stressing the fact that we should be more careful of our diet. Pi Kappa Sigma girls gave a burlesque of some popular songs, with a melody accompaniment sung by Orva Bybee. The dancing act put on by Delta Sgima was very effective. Following this, the Bidwell Hall girls staged a very creditable tumbling act under the direction of Misses Rockwood and Gocke. Ruth Watterson as yell leader added to the spirit of the evening with songs and yells. Dancing and refreshments topped off the evening. 47 Es' BAND TRIPS GIRLS' BAND Chico High School ......,..

However, both bands are the best that Chico State has ever had, and she may be proud of them, not only for their playing but for their appearance as well. Everyone who has ever been on a band trip, will vouch for the fact that they certainly are fun, and it is to be hoped that next year the bands will be able to help advertise the school as well as add to their exchequer in this delightful I'l'13I11'1CI'. -.,.5g.E 3.3g.,,- THE BIGLOGY FIELD TRIP AY 9:-At 6:00 A. M. we left the College for Moss Beach via Stockton. Along about noon we devoured our pickled frog legs and munched upon our shark meat sandwiches. Three o'clock and some of the cars cast anchor at Moss Beach amid the pop-eyed wonder of the natives. CThey no spik da Eng- lesh.l XVe all got a big surprise that evening when Jerry Crenshaw publicly pro- posed to Bertha Richardson. MAX' 10:-Getting up at 4:00 A. M., we hastily clothe our shivering limbs, down our coffee and sinkers, and hie ourselves to the beach for an engagement with the denizens of the deep. Old Neptune calls off the waves so that we sorta get an edge on the shore life which we place in our buckets with great zeal. Turner trots around giving directions, someone yowls that an octupus has got them and we untangle the dear girl from the sea-weed, and then a whistle is blown and everyone tears for camp. Breakfast is served a la carte with blasted little carte. Someone delivers a perfectly heavenly discourse upon the fun we're going to have preserving the specimens and someone else decides she doesn't want any more breakfast. Clt was probably one of those botany students: they're weak stomachedl More collection after lunch by the botany students. and then dinner at six. That evening a mighty tragedy is enacted, the title of which is the Lighthouse Keeper. Sally Bennett hobbles about as the old lighthouse keeper, Ruth Stamper childishly skips and hops as the sweet little daughter Cand believe us she was the cutest little thingj, George Stuckey sneers around as the terrible villain, and Paul Byrne comes rushing up as the heroic doctor. MAY l l :-More coffee and sinkers and then down to the beach again where we search out the specimens which escaped our scientiiic eyes the morning before. At 8:30 we lug the expiring animals into camp where we cold-heartedly let them expire while we gormandize, or in plain English, line our alimentary canals with nutritious filament. After nicely bottling our latest specimens in formaldehyde, we pile into the cars for a jaunt over to the La Honda redwoods. The botany students wax enthusiastic, but Miss Holt is firm and does not yield to their plead- ings that they be allowed to bring home a few redwood specimens. Rebellion is quelled by the production of the lunches brought along. Back to camp for dinner at six. Funny how everyone is present for such events. Bertha Richard- son recites a poetic history of the Omicron Theta Epsilon, and George Stuckey receives the first degree of his initiation into that great order. MAY 12:-Having exhausted the ocean of its life, we pack up and leave for home via San Francisco. In Golden Gate Park at the aquarium we notice a few animals that maybe we didn't get in our collection and resolve to get them next year.

The new association came into being during the 1928-1929 year, develop- ing, on the urge of widespread favorable sentiment, from a dream in the minds of the members of an unoflicial committee, into a growing organization which staged a successful Homecoming Day, November 3, 1928, and has definite plans under way for a better one on November 2, 1929. The development of the organization has not always been a path of roses: for instance, last Homecoming Day was timed in perfect coincidence with a rain- storm. But those persons executively engaged in interests of the alumni have resisted discouragement, for they carried in their hearts a pledge that the oft- expressed desire for organization of the Chico alumni must be fully realized. Last Homecoming Day was suddenly conceived, hastily planned, and hur- riedly organized, and met with unfavorable Weather conditions: but even so, there were over ninety very enthusiastic people present, from all parts of the state. The next Homecoming Day shows every possibility of having a fuller and better program because of the much greater time to be given to preparation, and because of the experience gained in conducting the 1928 Homecoming. The present policy of the officers of the Alumni Association call for concen- tration upon the social activities in order that the membership may be increased enough to make possible the undertaking of some activities having more lasting benefits. Too much credit cannot be given to the association's first president, John Lillie, whose untiring efforts and high hopes are largely responsible for the suc- cess of Chico State's irst Homecoming Day. -..ggi 50 Eg..- SEPTEMBER OCTOBER NOVEMBER DECEMBER JANUARY FEBRUARY MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE CALENDAR Everybody in line just dying to get rid of their money: don't worry, it will be more next fall.

And why shouldn't she? Practically the same team, man for man, had been runner-up the season before, and had lost the coveted championship cup by the margin of one touchdown. But the gods decreed differently, and Chico State suffered her worst football year since Art Acker's regime commenced in 1923. XVe do not wish to go down in history as a school which alibies when humiliatingly defeated. Were Chico State a school whose pride went up in smoke when the sting and smart of defeat are felt, her stalwart sons could no doubt excavate in the smouldering remains and produce excuse after excuse to present to the public, that they might not lose the support of their followers. We don't alibi because we don't have tol Chico State is entering the Par Western Conference next season, and is leaving in the California Coast Conference a record that will not be equalled for some years to come. In five years between the season of 1923 and the season of 1927, Coach Acker and his teams won the conference championship three consecutive years and lost but two conference games. The Wildcats' tragic 1928 season was just one of those things. Every college has its years when, for no apparent reason, the bottom seems to drop out of everything, and Chico State is no exception. Coach Picker had an unusually long hospital list this season, headed by Cap- tain Elmer Allinger, who was injured early in the year and who was unable to don a suit the rest of the year. This is Captain Allinger's last year of collegiate football, and it seems a shame that a real football player like Elmer should have to end his college career with such an unfortunate piece of luck. Others on the injured list included Captain-elect Jimmy Thomasson, Louis Olker, Harold Spencer, Rockwell Blondin, Alton Cheney, Leo Barceloux, Herbert Carey, Norman De Vol, Paul Byrne, Kenneth Palmer and Arvid Pauly. Now that the disastrous 1928 season has passed and become history, eyes of 53 y ff:-:,:4Q:--f5'+'f -Q 5. ft A ' C l I , football enthusiasts are turned toward next fall, with everybody wishing Cap- tain-elect Jimmy Thomasson and his team a most successful season. ll' ' MODESTO 31 - CHICO 6 jx For the first time since Modesto and Chico have been engaging in intercol- legiate football competition, Modesto cleaned house at the expense of the Wildcat. Spencer, Chico fullback, was suffering with a badly injured ankle but due to a lack of substitutes, also on account of injuries, he was forced to play almost the entire game. This is one example of that inexplainable thing called .Y Y. Mental Attitude that is so necessary in a successful college athletic team. The YN absence of Captain Elmer Allinger was beginning to be felt and it was, to say the least, not too encouraging to his teammates to know that Elmer would Watch the rest of the games from the sidelines. Thomasson, Chico's shifty halfback and next year's captain, was the shining star for the Wildcats, but the Modesto offense Was too much for the Varsity to cope with. The game was not as one-sided as the score may indicate, because in a des- perate attempt to score-once defeat was almost certain-Chico concentrated all eiforts on long passes, most of which were intercepted by Modesto with fatal results. Thirty-one is the largest score that has ever been piled up against the Wildcats since Coach Acker has been at Chico State. l. I I . A ai.. . Q AVE.. .Er . V c 'F' f' l V A X N -..iq 54 gp..- jk Y 421: :nf :Q 4 SAN MATEO 25 - Cl-IICO 14 The San Mateo Bulldogs won the California Coast Conference champion- ship, and if ever there was a team that deserved to win, it was this one. San Mateo has always had a good team, and though they have defeated Chico but twice in six years, the Bulldog has always been a tough nut for the Ackerites to crack, and their games have been more or less pointed to by Coach Acker as the Big Game. Once more poor tackling spelled doom for Chico, as San Mateo's four touch- downs were made on long end runs. That Chico's offense was working smoothly is clearly shown by her two touchdowns and conversions. But San Mateo won the game and they earned it. SACRAMENTO 14 - CHICO 13 Advocators of the Do-away-with-the-conversion-after-touchdown move- ment could undoubtedly have enlisted many recruits among Chico Staters fol- lowing the game with Sacramento Junior College. For it was a mere, insignifi- cant conversion that caused Chico to be defeated by Sacramento, her arch enemy. The game was played in the new stadium Jaysee has built, and of which they can be justly proud. Although the Wildcat attack was the second on the Panther menu for the new battleground, the Cats had hopes of dedicating the stadium in their own manner and in a way never to be forgotten by Coach Scheuttner and the boys. But the Wildcat was still crippled and bruised from the Aggie brawl and left the stadium more crippled and more bruised than ever. -at 55 . OREGON STATE O - CHICO 38 For the first time in the season, the Chico Varsity began to hit their stride and after administering a good trouncing, sent the Webfooted back to Oregon in a box measuring 38 to 0. Oregon State, it will be remembered, is an extremely young school, only four years old. and although they put on the field eleven gritty and hard fighting men, the charge of the Wildcats, once started, was too much for the lighter and more inexperienced Oregonians. In the last quarter Oregon desperately attempted to pass their way to a score, but the Chico secondary defense tightened up in championship fashion and drove try after try to the ground. Through the courtesy of Mr. A. M. Scott, local radio dealer, the game was broadcasted by means of an electric loudspeaker, with Louie Olker, injured half- back, announcing. We hope that in the future all home games may be broad- casted in this manner because the play by play descriptions and explanations help those not so Well acquainted with the intricate rules of the game to better under- stand and enjoy the contest. COLLEGE OF PACIFIC 14 - CI-IICO 0 Once more the Wildcat tried to break the Tiger jinx but to no avail. and after another fierce battle-never are there fiercer battles than between the Chico Wildcat and the Pacific Tiger-the local feline Was once again sent to the home lair beaten and humiliated, with the low end of a 14 to 0 score. The game was hard fought from start to nnish and it was only by a Well executed aerial attack that Pacific defeated the Cardinals. Both of the Tiger touchdowns were made by passes. In fact, the last three games between Chico and Pacific have been Won by the southerners via the Sky line. But local sport followers continue to make the trips to Stockton in the hope that some day the jinx will be broken. TWT p --.gr 55 ig..- SAN JOSE 12 - CHICO 6 Chico won this game in everything but the score. To explain, the Wildcats piled up more first downs, gained more yardage from scrimmage, and completed more passes than did the Spartans, but poor tackling enabled Hubbard, San Jose safety, to run back a punt seventy-live yards through the entire Chico team to a touchdown, thereby cinching victory for the Spartans. Offensively, Chico worked with the regular old Acker zip and fire, but defensively, the horse changes color. However, the defensive work of Farmer and Carey was one of the shining lights of the day. San Jose's win gave them the first victory over the Wildcats in eight years. Although strong in basket ball and track, the Spartans have been in rezent years rather a weak sister in football, but this past season they put a team on the field that would do justice to any college. CALIFORNIA AGGIES 22 - CI-IICO O In the roughest game ever witnessed on the local gridiron, the California Aggies of Davis massacred and slaughtered their way to a 22 to O victory over the Wildcats. They hit the Chico men with everything but the goal posts and the water bucket. and as a result the Wildcat was crippled unmercifully for future contests. It was in this game that Captain Allinger received the side swipe that ended his college career. Just why teams should be allowed to play this way is difhcult to say, but in defense of the officials it must be said that when a whole team elects to play with the win at any cost idea, no man can see everything that happens. As it was, the referee carried the ball more than any- one else did. Now that Chico State is to enter the same conference with the Aggies we hope there will be no more such games. 57 CALIFORNIA POLY O - CHICO 30 In this, the final game of the season, the Chico Varsity continued the stride started in the Oregon game and overwhelmed the strong Cal Poly eleven in true Wildcat style, 30 to O. Never once did Poly threaten to score. Their line was torn like so much paper by the plunges of Spencer, while Thomasson and Olker kept the ends and secondary defense plenty busy trying to catch them on end runs. Jimmy Thomasson, acting captain in place of Captain Allinger, displayed grit seldom witnessed, when he refused to leave the game although injured so badly he could hardly walk. Louis Olker, the Wildcat speed king, received a badly wrenched knee on a long end run when it looked almost certain that he would score. Unsuccessful as the season may have been, the Chico Varsity ended in a whirl of glory and prospects are ever so bright for next season.

There seems to be a natural reluctance on the part of some to give to football the necessary time and effort. However, a few of the boys sensed the real football spirit: gave all they had and were rewarded by service on the Varsity. These men-John Brown, 7ADot Clements, Paul Byrne, Jack Rannells and Delphin Manwell-were soon severed from the frosh squad by Coach Acker and placed on the Varsity reserves. Al- though Manwell was the only frosh to make the block letter, the other four all saw intercollegiate action, and it is largely on these few men that Coach Acker must build his team a few years hence. To make a Block C the Hrst year is not an every day occurrence, and Marysville can well be proud of her native son, Delphin Manwell. Among the prep teams played by the Kittens were Red Bluff High, Chico High, Oroville High, Orland High, Willows High and Pierce High, with the frosh winning exactly half their games. The hardest work for the yearlings comes in furnishing scrimmage opposition for the Varsity and it is in this stage that the Freshman determines both for himself and the coach whether he is a good future Varsity prospect. Besides the few men above mentioned, Harry Nichols, Leland Phillips, Les- ter Turner, and Warren Jones complete the list of Freshman numeral Winners. --aff 59 Ee--' 9f6oJg.. VARSITY BASKET BALL NOTHER tough-luck basket ball year for Chico State. In the six years that . Coach Acker has been at Chico, the Wildcat has always placed second in the California Coast Conference-never first, never third: and always losing the championship series by one to three points. To always produce a well- coached, well-trained basket ball machine, praised by sport writers the state over and feared by every team in the conference, and yet never to win a championship, can be laid to nothing but downright tough luck. Perhaps a rabbit's foot oria horseshoe would help. Acker has tried everything else. The call sent out in November for aspirants to basket ball fame was an- swered by a wealth of material seldom found in a small college. Captain Chauncey Wilson, this year unanimously elected as All-Conference forward, was ready and eager to take his position as leader of the most promising basket ball team in Chico's history. 'iChink is beyond a doubt the classiest casaba artist ever to wear the Chico Cardinal. Hailing from Live Oak High, he made the Varsity his first year in College, which in itself, is an accomplishment to be proud of. As the running mate to John Colledge he showed the promise that he has since fullilled even beyond the dreams of the most speculative and enthusi- astic prophets. As a point getter Chauncey has no superiors. Opponents fear- fully refer to him as Dead-Eye Wilson and every time he winds up and sets one loose basketward. the opposition trembles with fear lest two more counters be credited to the Wildcat. As a running mate in the forward position Captain Wilson had a newcomer in College, who in his prep days was a star for the Stockton High. Ambrose Garrigan tips the beam at about one hundred and thirty. but he makes up any dehciency in size by speed and clever footwork. Lacking Wilson's experience. Garry can't equal the captain yet in distance shooting but is sure fire in set-up shots anywhere near the basket. Like Chauncey, Ambrose should develop under Acker's tutorage into a star of the court. For substitutes in the forward positions, Acker had Blondin and Elfendahl, both of whom have no little ability as basketeers as they proved without a doubt in the Sacramento games. Finishing up the forward wall were Nixon and Greiner, the former an outstanding player of last year's frosh team and the latter a Freshman entering from Corning. The center position was well taken care of by Palmer, a veteran from last year. The lanky lad from Oroville would rate a berth on the Varsity if for nothing more than his ability to follow up shots and score baskets off the board. Farmer, Squier and Vugrenecz, modern Horatios, took care of the guarding end. Farmer is undoubtedly the cream of the crop in the back guard position. Wherever the team went he was acclaimed and praised for his ability in getting the ball off the backboard. For a man of his size and avoirdupois Dan has a sur- prising amount of speed, and along with it an accuracy which enabled him many times to make sucker shots from under the basket, Farmer, like Wilson, was the unanimous choice for the All-Conference team. Were one to ask who played floor guard, two names would have to be given. for Cliff Squier and Steve Vugrenecz were both regulars in that position. It would be difficult to say which of these two boys was the better and undoubt- edly Acker thinks the same thing, for he uses one no more than the other. The -'-H61 main difference between the two is that Steve is a faster man on the floor, while Cliff is a better shot at the basket. The Wildcats pulled the first surprise of the year by defeating the highly touted Auburn Cubs in a series of two games. The Cubs have long rated as one of the leading teams in the state and Chico's victories over them sent the Wildcats off to a, flying start. During the Christmas vacation Coach Acker and the team invaded the south- ern part of the state and cleaned out everything that came in the way including Santa Barbara State for one game and California for two. It began to look as though the Wildcat was off on a rampage and would finish the season unde- feated, but Reno and the Nevada quintet proved a little too much and the Wol- verine staved off the Wildcat in both encounters of the series. Chico easily defeated the California Aggies but split a two-game series with College of the Pacific. Nevada, Aggies, and Pacific were all non-conference games. In the conference games Chico played fifteen, winning fourteen and losing one to San Jose, At the close of the regular season Chico rated first with a higher percentage than San Jose and according to conference rules the two teams with the highest percentage must play a post-season series of two out of three games for the championship. In this series, which Chico always gets into but never wins, San Jose won the Hrst game by a margin of two points and the second game by one point. Both were tie games necessitating extra five minute periods. With every Varsity man but Vugrenecz returning next year there should be a hot time given all opposition in the Far Western Conference and perhaps Dame Fortune will be so kind as to give that overlapping point or two to Chico so that the championship which has repeatedly been so near and yet so far, may rest for once within the portals of Chico State College.

This group of aspirants of the future Varsity, coached by Buck Bailey, encountered the various prep schools around this vicinity and seldom met with defeat. As had been said before, the real purpose of Freshman athletics is to weed out and train future Varsity material. From the Kittens this year Chico sport followers may expect much of Nixon, Piluso and Greiner. Gordon Nixon is the surest bet in the forward position and should be holding down that berth as a regular. Robbin Greiner, the diminutive forward from Corning, bids well to be watched. He is small, but makes up for his lack of pounds by speed in handling himself on the floor. Frank Piluso, as back guard, showed up well and was a big factor in the Kittens' victories. As in football, the Freshman team is used as scrimmage opponent for the Varsity. The Kittens are taught plays and formations of Chico's rival teams and thereby give the Varsity a good chance to become familiar with their oppon- ent's tactics. This is a valuable aid to any Varsity team. Freshman numerals were awarded to: Gordon Nixon Robbin Greiner Frank Piluso .,..., Larry Mery ....,,. .. Lee Vostmeyer ...t..

The proverbial set-ups common to every college team were conspicuous by their absence. Out of the five intercollegiate meets, only one was at all easy sledding for the Wildcat, that one being with the Cali- fornia Aggies, won by Chico 70 to 61. The one other victory turned in was against Sacramento Junior College, by the close margin of 62 to 60, while Fresno State, San Jose, and College of the Pacific all trimmed the Cardinals in their respective meets. ln the Far Western Conference meet at Sacramento at the close of the season Chico came through remarkably well though failing to take any Hrst places. Captain Olker took second in the hurdle races and in both jaunts pushed Kaster, Fresno star and one of the best hurdlers in the country to the limit, losing the races by exceedingly small margins. El-mer Allinger and Jimmy Thomasson. both former Chico State track captains, placed in the meet, the former taking third in the javelin and the latter claiming third in the pole vault. Lee Vost- meyer, a frosh, earned his block C by placing fourth in the show. while Dan Farmer made three of Chico's 14 points by taking second in the discus. Coach Art Acker was handicapped through the entire season by a shortage of men to take second and third places, and as a result was forced to enter what few men he had in more races than is advisable for the good of the athlete. An example of this, Olker was sometimes forced to run in the l00-yard dash, 220-yard dash, 220 low hurdles, 120 high hurdles, high jump, and relay.

HORSEBACK RIDING ALTHOUGH horseback riding was also new to most of the women enrolled in the classes, it proved to be the most popular sport offered during the fall semester. In addition to the regular classes which were held every afternoon and from four to five under the direction of Misses Rockwood and Gocke, Saturday morn- ing rides and moonlight rides were popular attractions for both the men and women of the College. The crowning event of the season was an overnight trip taken by a group of girls who rode to a ranch twelve miles from town. After a hearty supper cooked and eaten in the house the girls made their beds in a barn and maybe you think they didn't sleep. If the ride homeward was a trifle slower due to the slight exhaustion of the riders the girls were none the less enthusiastic and everyone reported a wonderful time. The following girls were signed up for the sport: Leone Walker, Pauline Spurlock, Goldie Fiddler, Blanche Fiddler, Dorothy Brown, Dorothy Schock, Alice Poage, Claire Beauregarde, Gertrude Irwin, Cath- erine Middleton, Barton Coggins, Helen Hitt, Mildred Woods, Thelma Jones. Elizabeth Squires, Doris Woods, Thea Pyle, Elizabeth Klier. Catherine Con- very, Shirley Hopkins, Rachel Wilson, Maybelle Williams, Martha Cobb, Vergie Reddick, Evelyn Perigo, Marion Burum, Cecile Durbrow, Virginia Garnett, Dorothy Stover, Shirley Carter, Elizabeth Keener, Margaret Kopplin. Leona Maxey, Helen McKenzie, Eleanor Vogelgsang, Estelle Guill, Eleanor Brady. Dorothy Weil, Margaret Botts, Ila Kirk, Edna-Mae Will, Mary Louise Jackson. Helen Summers, Helen Jeffery. 68 ig..- HOCKEY HIS YEAR marked the beginning of the new epoch in the realm of sport for the women of Chico State. At the beginning of the Spring semester a course in hockey was organized under the direction Of Miss Rockwood. Although no credit is given for the course, each Tuesday and Thursday afternoon between the hours Of four and five o'clock finds thirty-three girls out on the new field trying to master the rudi- ments of the game and if appearance counts for anything they are getting a great deal of enjoyment Out of it. Also a few of the girls give promise Of becoming quite expert at taking the ball down the field-to say nothing of the manner in which they guard the goal. The most interesting match of the season was the one in which the Freshmen challenged the upper classmen one and all to a game and much to the dismay of the Older group succeeded in winning by a small margin. Oh, well, better luck next time, upper classmen. The girls out for the sport are as follows: ELEANOR SELLICK ELVA CARTER LILLIAN CLAYTON HELEN RETZLOPE ELIZABETH SQUIRES MARGUERITE OERKE MAYBELLE WILLIAMS SHIRLEY HOPKINS MARY WALL NEDRA BARTLETT GLADYS LANDERS JUDITH FOSTER M.

FILLIPE -..npgf 69 Jigga.- SWIMMING WIMMING has always been one of the most popular sports among the women of the College. With the addition this year, of a course in life saving, much interest has been added and by the end of the semester many of the girls hope to be wearing the coveted badge and button of a Red Cross Life Saver. In order to pass the course the girls must know how to do the various approaches, breaks, and carries, as well as the Prone Pressure Method of resusci- tation. The above by no means insure a passing grade in the course as an additional requirement has been added. The girls must be able to do the following strokes in good form: Elementary back stroke, breast stroke, side stroke, single overarm. trudgeon, and crawl, tread water one minute and float one minute. The required dives are surface, standing and racing. Stunts have also been a featured part of the course, especially since the new springboard was put in and some of the girls are learning a number of clever dives just for their own satisfaction. The class, which is given Without credit under the direction of Miss Gocke, meets on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and has an enrollment of ten girls most of whom are majors in Physical Education. Since this is the iirst year any advanced swimming has been given the class is small but as interest increases the size of the class w-111 increase in proportion. This year the following girls are taking the course: Bernice Bair, Nedra Bartlett, Thelma Jones, Margaret Kopplin, Myrtle McLain, Dora Meline, Amanda Michels, Catherine Middleton, Shirley Hopkins, Maybelle Williams. 4 I October October Oztober October November November November November January January January January January January January January February February February February February February February February March March 6. 13. 20. 27. 3. 10. 17. 28. 3-4. 5. 11. 12. 18. 19. 25. 29. 1-2. 5. 8-9. 15. 16. 19. 22. 23. 1-2 8-9 ATHLETIC CALENDAR FOOTBALL C.

M AROARET KENNEDY The year 1928-29 has been a period of transition in the history of our Student Body. Under President Louis Olker many things of far-reaching influ- ence have been brought before both the Executive Committee and the students as a Whole. The budget for the year was adopted for the purpose of giving each organization new financial life. No sooner had the budget been formed and the semester started than it became obvious to those closely connected with the finances that a raise in dues within the next few semesters would be of great advantage to the Student Body. With this in mind the Executive Committee spent long hours in framing an amendment to the constitution. Another interested group also presented an amendment. Though the vote showed that the students were in favor of the move, neither amendment received a necessary majority. Under this administration a Rally Com-mittee, to assist in the social life and the sports of our College, was formed. From the conference at Sacramento our president and vice-president were able to bring to us information of much value. For the first time in the history of our Student Body a formal installation 73 of ofiicers was held. In his farewell address Mr. Olker stated that he wished to have us get the hello spirit on our campus. Under Fred Zannon's administration, the second semester of the year has been one of adjustment and forward movement. The financial problem has been solved. Our play day again assumed the name, Pioneer Day: a permanent design for the Chico State ring has been accepted: and now pending is a rewrit- ing of our constitution, and the -making of a book of rules for Freshmen. Advance, but weigh and measure as you go, seems to be the motto of the Student Body in dealing with these various vital matters presented to it. This can be but a brief survey of one of the most eventful years in the life of the Student Body. Little space can be given to the mention of the long sessions of the Executive Committee and the heated discussions of the students that have helped bring to light what can and will be done by the Associated Students. PIONEER DAY The program for the day was as follows: 9:00 A. M.-Registration of visitors. 9:30 A. M.-General Assembly at which two one-act plays were given. The beginners class in dramatics staged a one-act character comedy by Mar- garet Deland. The play was appropriately set at the Civil War period and the costumes were in keeping with the styles of that era, some of them being those actually worn in that day. Those acting in the production were: Bertha Hughes, Myrtle Roohr, Cirace Yank, Charles Rath and Gordon Scheimer. This was followed by an original play by Raymond Denlay and Stacy Wiser of the advanced dramatics class and featuring a satire on college dramatics and also upon the modern criminal drama. The plot and tempo of this play were designed especially to contrast with the one which preceded it on the pro- gram so the audience might judge the difference in manners and modes of the two ages. l0:30 A. M.-Parade. 12:00 M.-Lunch, during which the band played. 1:30 P. M.-Program at the National Theatre. 6:00 P. M.-Supper for visitors. 8:00 P. M.-Dance at the Memorial Hall with music by Clarence Schott's orchestra. -'Arif 74 len' LEFT TO RIGHT NELSYNE BARTHOLOMEW MAEOLA EASTBURN JOHN F-'RY DORA MELINE ELVIN MILLER KENNETH PALMER HAROLD SPENCER EDNA MAE WILL +Pf75I3'- .... v ' . ...I , u... .- Ill. , X.. x I THE RECORD EDITORIAL STAFF MARGARET KENNEDY .,,,,,,,------A,,,,- 1 --,----- 9 A,E-------.-MA--- ----.'--w---.-- V , k ---- n Ed,-,Or GEORGE DEWOLF, MERRILL GOUDIEI ,v..,,-----,-,,,,,-- .--- o Assmoot Ed,',o,.s OSCAR HOLLENBERG, ,,,,,,V---, - ,,,.,,--..- - ,,,,4, ,Nn--------'- I picture Edna, HELEN MCKENZIE- -------- ---- ..... .

Advisor One of the many difficult tasks that confronts the editor as the book begins to assemble is the correcting of the multitude of misspelled names that appear in the copy. Accuracy in this is, in a large measure, responsible for the success of the publication, but perfection is almost an impossibility. We suggest that any- one who finds his name incorrectly spelled in this issue of The Record apply for the position of Name Editor, which We are sure any editor would gladly create, so that his name, at least, will appear as originally intended in the next. The editor takes this opportunity to thank all those persons who have con- tributed their time and efforts in any way in the preparation of this book. Edit- ing this annual has not been an easy job, but if it brings even a little enjoyment to those who read it, our eiforts have not been wasted. 75 Au- vs. ' .4 I I f I LEFT TO RIGHT: WINIFRED BRADT-GEORGE DEWOLF.

The Wildcat has again completed a successful year, closing with the June issue. Its success was due entirely to the untiring efforts of both the editors and the cooperation of their respective staffs, often sustained but oftener spasmodic. The issues of the paper have proved of interest not only to the regularly enrolled students of Chico State, but to. many of her alumni who receive it regularly, as well. Colleges in all parts of the country contribute to the news columns and make exchanges with The Wildcat. Two of the peppiest columns in the paper. and containing many wise cracks interspersed with news were, Prom the Front Steps, and About the School. Old grads will remember that the first newspapers in Chico State were mere bulletins posted in the roomy glass cages of the old building. It is gratifying to see what rapid progress The Wildcat has rnade since that time, and it is to the credit of the business managers. as well as the editors, that the paper has success- fully passed its period of pioneering. -ggi Ep.- ,.

The enrollment was the largest of any season, and with additional equipment and a group of players of greater ability, a higher grade of music was played. The band scored a big hit when it introduced the new school song, Hail to Chico State. early in the year. It was a conspicuous group at all the big home football games. The big game at Sacramento saw a mass band fboth men and womenl of sixty-ive and the first showing of the new uniforms in a brilliant array of red and white. As the half was called they moved onto the Held playing Hail to Chico State, marching and counter-marching across the gridiron. The second semester showed a still greater number turning out for band. Seventy pieces Cboth men and womenl played for the ceremonies at the corner- stone laying of the new building and others would have been in the group if more uniforms had been available. The men's band played for a number of assemblies throughout the vear. for all pep rallies and for a special assembly under student conductors. The band is always a feature of Pioneer Day, the big day of the year. PERSONNEL Trumpets-Elfendahl, Van Zee, Barham, Cheney, Bockman, Phillips, Johnson, Crenshaw. Clarinets-Amerman. Eihler.

ORCHESTRA HIS YEAR the orchestra has responded cheerfully every time it could be of service to the Student Body. It co-operated with the drarnatics department in giving several performances and it also did its bit in the Armistice program given at the Senator Theatre. At the present time the orchestra is working on the commencement concert, the main event of the year. The members of the orchestra are students who are especially interested in music, many of whom are specializing along this line. Mr. Young, the director, is responsible for a large part of the orchestra's success. The personnel is as follows: 'Ruth Howell, Dorothy Murray, Elizabeth Klier, Mary Wall, Irma Belle Studley, Helen Howland, Shirley Hansen, Margaret Triplett, Helen Nelson.

A need is felt at the larger colleges for such organizations, and there are chapters of the Y. M. C. A. in many schools that do a real piece of service for their Alma Maters. The Y at Chico State is being slowly built up into an active organization. It meets the first and third Tuesdays of every month, with supper planned for once each month. Pursuing its plan to help the entering Freshmen get a good start in college, two Campus Y men representing Chico State, met with the delegates from Stan- ford, the University of California, and the College of the Pacific at conferences for high school seniors at Red Bluff and Orland during the early part of March. The Y was established at Chico State only a little over a year ago, but those affiliated with the organization as Well as the school as a whole, feel that its influence for good has justified its existence all ready.

The year 1928-Z9 has proved to be one of especial fun and interest, with all sorts of events happening in rapid succession, and plenty of pep shown at every occasion. The following is in part the program which filled our calendar: a dance for the new girlsg a hearty and eventful initiation: a stunt at Hi Jinks which won first place: an evening of dancing and cards with the Delta Alpha Pi men as guests: a Halloween party: homecoming for members of our Alumnae Association: a Christmas party with an evening of stunts: a dinner for the basket ball teams: a spring homecoming: a stunt and float for Pioneer Day: the Hall formal, which is an annual affair: and as a somewhat sad conclusion to a year which most of us will cherish with happy memories, a Farewell Dinner. 86 ljat.- CANDLELIGI-IT CLUB OFFICERS Fall Semester Spring Semester HELLACE MASON ....... .. ..... , .President ...,...... ..,... .

The Candlelight Club was organized in 1922 with the idea of bringing the girls in the Kindergarten-Primary department together for social as well as pro- fessional contact. Since that time it has acted as a force not only in the depart- ment but in the college. ' Candlelight stands for service, loyalty, and co-Operation, and some of its activities have become almost traditional. The Christmas Sing, which always takes the form of some charitable act: the Candle Glow party, at which it launches its grads on the stream of Life Qalso known as Chico Creekj, and its famous open meetings, will never be forgotten by anyone who has ever attended l' em. Candlelight entertained her alumnae at a luncheon, in conjunction with Delta Phi Upsilon, on Home Corning Day, and were entertained by that organi- zation at a Coffee Dan party in January in honor of Delta Phi Founders' Day. -at 87 .- ,,,..

This organization is grow- ing, about twenty new members coming in during the year. Regular meetings are held the Hrst and third Thursdays of each month. A HalloWe'en party was held at which ghost stories and games in keeping with the occasion furnished a very exciting evening. To the regret of the club, Miss Kaps, faithful advisor and organizer, re- signed. Mrs. Brown was chosen to H11 the vacancy. With her help the girls put on a very artistic stunt at Hi Jinks. The club served a dainty luncheon for its alumni Home Coming Day, on November 3. Instead of having a Christmas party, funds for it were donated to the Health Center, to be used to buy milk for needy children. The open meeting of the spring semester was held February 21, Washing- ton's Birthday decorations being used. In honor of the Lanternlight girls who are graduating, the annual picnic and launching will be held during Commencement Week. 88 SEARCHLIGHT CLUB OFFICERS Fall Semester Spring Semester PAULINE HUSE .,..- ,. ....... .

With this in view the club has two meetings a month, one social and the other business and professional. A number of unique and entertaining social evenings have been spent under the direction of the club's members. At the business meetings of the month, talks by specialists in the upper grade Held have been given. Greater interest is being shown for the work of the club and the organiza- tion looks toward a brighter and more successful future. -..ggi 5391...

Thalia Quintet was organized by a group of Chico State students early in 1928. Their purpose in organizing was expressed in a desire to further perfect music of orchestral work, and furnish enjoyment for themselves and friends. The charter members of the quintet are: Alison lVlcClard. who plays the flute' llla Hitchcock, who plays the soprano saxophone: Catheryn Gates, playing the clarinet, and Pauline Little at the piano. In February, lrma Belle Studley was added to the group. She plays the Violin. A month later Ruth Howell took Pauline l-ittle's place at the piano. So the membership last year consisted of voilin, flute, clarinet, soprano saxophone, and piano. Officers of the quintet for l928 were: Alison McClard, president: Catheryn Gates, business manager: Ruth Howell, secretary: Irma Belle Studley, treasurer, and llla Hitchcock, librarian and historian. Thalia Quintet meets each Wednesday evening for an hour of practice and business. The group plays light classical music. From the very beginning Thalia was quite a favorite in musical circles of Chico. The group made its debut at the Chico Auto Show in February, 1928. Since then it has been in demand by the various women's clubs, men's luncheon clubs, and other organizations of the town. The quintet played several times for the Chico Art Club meetings, and also at its benefit card party last June at the Enloe home near Paradise. Several times the girls have played at the affairs of the American Association of University Women. Special mention may be made of their performance at the etching exhibit at the Hotel Oaks last spring. p Besides these appearances the group gave of its time for many school engage- ments. They played a number of times for the plays put on by the dramatics class. Also they played for the Nepenthe Day, and for the faculty's reception to the Seniors. Thalias had a couple of social evenings last June. One was a picnic at the Five Mile Dam. The picnic was in honor of Catheryn Gates, who received her A.B. in June. When Thalia Quintet met in the fall, they took into the group Alda Bihler, trombone, to take the place of Catheryn Gates. The officers for this year are: Alison McClard, president: Alda Bihler, vice- president: Ruth Howell, business manager: Irma Belle Studley, secretary-treas- urer, and llla Hitchcock, librarian and historian. ,ar mf. ft 93 iff THE BLOCK C SOCIETY OFFICERS STACY WISER ................. ..,,,,.,.,,-..,,,-,,, -.,,,,.,Q--4n4,- n p resident RAYMOND DENLAY -------..-.. ............

To be eligible for membership in the Block C Society, a student must satisfy the requirements established by the Constitution of the Student Body relative to Winning a letter in a major sport. The standards set up by our school are very high--higher than those of most of the other colleges on the Pacific coast. Any player who shall have played in three-fourths of the total quarters played in intercollegiate games, meets the constitutional requirements for a letter in football. In basket ball a player must have participated in one-half of all the total halves of intercollegiate games. Any fraction of a quarter or of a half counts as a full quarter or half toward the playing time necessary for the Win- ning of a block C. We do not have a basbeall team, as it is not a financial success and has no drawing power. To earn his letter in track a student must have earned an aver- age of five points per meet in all collegiate meets, or take one point in the confer- ence meet. In unusual cases the coach may authorize the presentation of a C for special merit, even though the regular requirements Were not met. In accordance with the custom started two years ago, Leo Barceloux, Harry Skelly, Philip Herbert, Herbert Carey and Norman DeVol were presented with Block C sweaters. These were earned in football. 94 The membership consists Of the following men: The society managed the Wildcat Scamper again and it equalled the standard of previous years. lt featured several knockouts and a basket ball game between teams who wore boxing gloves. The society handles all the home track meets for the College and some for the local high school. It was asked by the Student Body to take care of the Wildcats at the San Jose and Sacramento basket ball games. The Block C Society believes in promoting clean athletics and in boosting the spirit of Chico State College and is Willing to assist in all events staged by the College.

Acting upon the principles of historians, we are including only unsubstantiated facts, for only in that way are we freed from dull detail and the sordidness of sober reality. It is therefore expected that those privileged to read this will keep in mind the seriousness and high-minded purpose of the parents of these brain children. To secure the material which appears in these pages we have searched through many archives and have delved into the pasts of many lives. We have labored untiringly to present to your consideration, knowledge that would otherwise be unavailable. All opinions inspired by a personal motive have been scrupulously barred and only those which no one could dispute as being untrue have been incorporated. And in closing we think it only fitting and proper that this work of inspired genius be dedicated to Sparkey, the janitor,-who takes care of all such trash. Convivially, Bidwell Hall, lI30 A. M.
