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.....

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
