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.....

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
