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. Selah. -..gf 49

June 6 This year circumstances have prevented the bands from taking any extensive trip. 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 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..-
