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

THALIA QUINTET There were five young ladies named Thalia, Not one of them came from Australia, As music's their line We think they are ine, But deaf people think they're a falia. 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
