The peppy, cooperative spirit truly characteristic of this class went sky high during the building of the annual Home-Coming bonfire. For two rainy days and nights the freshmen, led by Roy Jackson, gathered material from far and near to build one of the largest bonnres seen on the campus for sometime. Fearing violence of a promised dunking in the creek, the sophomores took heed of the fresh- man warning and left the bonfire territory uninvaded. Ann Morehead, social leader, assisted by Betty Jane Lauterio, Mary Atwood, and Georgia Lowry, served hot food to the freshman guards at midnight as they held nightly vigilance over their creation. The next important event on the frosh calendar was a Weiner roast with the sophomore class, at Tyler's, but because of rainy weather it was carried on at Bidwell Hall. The evening proved to be a gala .affair of intermingling of bitter enemies in a real swingaroo of the dance craze that swept the campus at every dance, The Big Apple. Football season saw freshmen Verne Freitas and Cairns Hooper pitchin' right in on the varsity squad while the frosh football team itself turned in a fine season's perfor-mance, and in their annual game with Chico High they swept the Red and Gold eleven completely out of the picture with a 19 to O score. Kangaroo Kourt was adjourned until February when Howard Jacobs, chief whiskerino of the sophs, presided over the Supreme Court and dealt out pun- ishment to the offending freshmen who were: Dick Epperson, Floyd Williams, Dorothy Acker, Rosemary Ames, Earl Sullivan, Yvette Ambrose, Peggy Hill, Dorothy Carrico, Mary Atwood, and Leo Garner. The most outstanding of the freshman basketball players to make the varsity were Stan Spanky Dison and Harold Hockey Taylor. Taylor played enough time to earn his block C sweater. The freshman team itself registered a fair record and the following players will be real threats for varsity berths next season: Ron Farley of Redding, Ashley Guynn of Chico, and Bud Holland of Woodland. Track season boomed forth with a successful dis- play of freshmen such as Herman Kostiz, Hal Mezger, Herb Arens, Bud Holland, Gail Moore, Al Vonasek, Archie Buckley, and Harry Vonasek. Jack Taylor put the class out in front with his successful portrayal of Florestein in The Bohemian Girl, which was presented this spring. With the approach of Pioneer Day and the annual tradition of beard growing, the frosh were again in the swing of things and led with their chins forward to display their stubble growth of fuzz.

Iilene Queen CLASS CAPERS Suzy Q'z'n' with the Sophomores: Emitting a strong and formidable hand of justice at the Kangaroo Kourt on February 24, the sophomore class success- fully climaxed their burden of preserving Chico State's freshman traditions. Twenty-four misbehaving frosh felons were tried and convicted at a jeering court in which the following sophomores lended their paddles in wielding out proper justice: Chief justice, Howard Jacobs, clerk, Elmo I-Ieardg bailiff, Bill Welch: ser- geant-at-arms, Dennis Red Robinson: and the stern associate justices, who. clad in typical black court robes, aided Justice Jacobs in delivering sentences were: Elmer Carlin, Roy Jackson, Myron Ayres, Frank Bennett, John Bates, Auburn Reeves, and Aug- ust Winters. As the curtain rose upon the scene of justice, an exploding bomb broke the silence, but an immediate call to order by the chief justice, brought enough tranquility to begin the trial. Paddles were used indiscriminately. The auctioning off, at three cents each, of Mary Atwood and Dorothy Carrico proved to be riotous. 'lFrenchy Liegerot took charge of the auctioning. A scuffle at the beginning of Kan- garoo Kourt, which at first threatened to cause the disbanding of the nine old men, was Hnally quelled. Floyd Williams, first defendant, refused to take the executive ability that the Kourt could muster to sub- due the freshman mob which supported Williams' action Witness stand and it took all the physical strength and At the head of the throne for the fall semester, President Bill Welch was the dictator, assisted by his able subjects, Jean Vaughn, Olga Holtorf, and Myrle Douglass. As it was their job to hold the frosh in line in accordance with Chico State traditions, the appearance of the Vigilantesf' composed of sopho- mores, kept things well in hand. The spring semester saw the election of a new monarch to rule the class. Tommy Howell was selected as the new leader and his humble workers were: Darrell Smith, Mary Kay Steffen, and lilene Queen. Kangaroo Kourt shuifled forth next on the program of the year as described above. Another social highlight took place when the student body dance, which was following the San Francisco-Chico basketball game, fell through, to be rescued when theidependable class of '40 sponsored it. Termed the victory dance, it was victorious from the standpoint of the freshmen Truckin' with the Suzy Q'in' sophomores and the juniors Peckin' with the Posin' seniors. Members of the San Fran- cisco team and the Princeton High team were invited to the dance. ' Active in athletics, the class claimed a number of varsity members in basketball, namely: Al Schlueter, Jack Uren, and Louie Welch. On the gridiron, Orrin Hoffman, Dennis Robinson, Dick Yount, Dick Kol- lenborn, and August Winters were outstanding. In track, Paul Dallas, Orrin Hoffman, Burt Welder, and Louie Welch were outstanding.
