SOCIALS FALL SEMESTER UNDER Maeola Eastburn's guidance we had a most successful social season this fall. 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
