of ofiicers was held. In his farewell address Mr. Olker stated that he wished to have us get the hello spirit on our campus. Under Fred Zannon's administration, the second semester of the year has been one of adjustment and forward movement. The financial problem has been solved. Our play day again assumed the name, Pioneer Day: a permanent design for the Chico State ring has been accepted: and now pending is a rewrit- ing of our constitution, and the -making of a book of rules for Freshmen. Advance, but weigh and measure as you go, seems to be the motto of the Student Body in dealing with these various vital matters presented to it. This can be but a brief survey of one of the most eventful years in the life of the Student Body. Little space can be given to the mention of the long sessions of the Executive Committee and the heated discussions of the students that have helped bring to light what can and will be done by the Associated Students. PIONEER DAY The program for the day was as follows: 9:00 A. M.-Registration of visitors. 9:30 A. M.-General Assembly at which two one-act plays were given. The beginners class in dramatics staged a one-act character comedy by Mar- garet Deland. The play was appropriately set at the Civil War period and the costumes were in keeping with the styles of that era, some of them being those actually worn in that day. Those acting in the production were: Bertha Hughes, Myrtle Roohr, Cirace Yank, Charles Rath and Gordon Scheimer. This was followed by an original play by Raymond Denlay and Stacy Wiser of the advanced dramatics class and featuring a satire on college dramatics and also upon the modern criminal drama. The plot and tempo of this play were designed especially to contrast with the one which preceded it on the pro- gram so the audience might judge the difference in manners and modes of the two ages. l0:30 A. M.-Parade. 12:00 M.-Lunch, during which the band played. 1:30 P. M.-Program at the National Theatre. 6:00 P. M.-Supper for visitors. 8:00 P. M.-Dance at the Memorial Hall with music by Clarence Schott's orchestra. -'Arif 74 len'

M AROARET KENNEDY The year 1928-29 has been a period of transition in the history of our Student Body. Under President Louis Olker many things of far-reaching influ- ence have been brought before both the Executive Committee and the students as a Whole. The budget for the year was adopted for the purpose of giving each organization new financial life. No sooner had the budget been formed and the semester started than it became obvious to those closely connected with the finances that a raise in dues within the next few semesters would be of great advantage to the Student Body. With this in mind the Executive Committee spent long hours in framing an amendment to the constitution. Another interested group also presented an amendment. Though the vote showed that the students were in favor of the move, neither amendment received a necessary majority. Under this administration a Rally Com-mittee, to assist in the social life and the sports of our College, was formed. From the conference at Sacramento our president and vice-president were able to bring to us information of much value. For the first time in the history of our Student Body a formal installation 73
