Environment has much influence on the outcome, but too often we overlook the fact that each of us can choose our environment. Moreover, too little thought is given to planning a pattern as a framework upon which to build a satisfying and complete personality. We are living in the atomic age of technology but in little better than the Stone Age of spir- ituality. There seems to be a tendency to plan all our experiences around a vocational objective forgetting or failing to recognize that vocation is only one phase of living. Many schemes for complete living have been proposed and have attracted the attention of thoughtful minds. lt is our responsibility to select one early in life being sure, however, that important parts have not been omitted. A distinguished philosopher from a great university once proposed three cate- gories: You and Yourself, You and Society, You and the World. This was not sullicient to sustain him in a great emergency as a knowledge of his life will reveal. Common today is a scheme proposing four categories all of which are profound and satis- fying: Consciousness of personal needs and adjustmentsg proper home and family understand- ing and relationshipsg social and civic consciousness, and vocational efliciency. lf you choose this or any other scheme around which to integrate your experiences and build your personality-and you must have some complete plan-be sure that you include the most important factor in this life, the one too often omitted but the one that will sustain you in any ' emergency, and that is your rela- tion to God.

English Alameda SENIOR CLASS MESSAGE We, the Class of 1949, have witnessed an important transi- tion in the meaning of graduation. When we entered college, commencement -meant, for almost every student, the end of his enrollment at Chico State. Now, with provisions for graduate study continuing to increase, a large number of us will return as full-time students. Others will be employed elsewhere but will return for a night class or two. With a more active Alumni Association indicated, even those of us who do not continue our studies plan to maintain contact with our Alma Mater. In 1949 we thus recognize commencement as primarily a step in our development: little of the element of farewell remains. You of Chico State will see us again, if not in the classrooms, then at least during Home-Coming and Pioneer Day. President, Senior Class.

Gobba's call for band mem- bers last Pall, but the spirit of that group was exceptional in view of the fact that they had to wear faded, worn out, and outdated band uniforms in their public appearances. The band provided spirit-boosting music at all football games, and maneuvered into various formations on the field during halftime. 4 The band -makes at least one appearance a year at out-of-town football games. This year Mr. Cobba took his crew down to Berkeley for the Wildcat-Cal Ramblers game. The band also represented Washington State College during the featured game of the afternoon. Highlighting the afternoon, as far as the band was concerned, was the marching onto the stadium floor with the large blue and gold California band and the playing of the National Anthem. With well ordered ranks, the bandiwas a precision marching unit in snapping into perfectly formed letters. The band's long weeks of hard drill and tiring practice were compensated for when they viewed technicolor movies of their efforts in Memorial Stadium. At the beginning of the Spring semester, the band turned to concert music under Mr. C1obba's leadership. Near the close of the year, the band members started a drive for new band unifor-ms. To start the ball rolling, the 1949 Senior Class gift was a contribution-towards the fund. Clarmets: Wilson, Doty, Faber, Holland, Jensen, McCracken, Mirande. Rhien, Zengel.

Robert Laxson as conductor, the College-Community Symphony Orchestra en- joyed a very successful year. The orchestra is made' up of both college students and fine instru- mental players from the city of Chico and surrounding area. Mr. Laxson is an able conductor and an excellent musician. His selection of orchestral ma- terial has always been interesting, largely in that it is varied to suit all tastes and preferences. The policy of the College-Community Symphony Orchestra since reorganization in 1946, has been to feature at least one American work on its programs. Mr. Laxson has introduced the best new modern music of our time. The symphony orchestra opened its third season in the College Auditorium on November 21. Eeatur-ed was Mozart's Magic Flute Overture, Schubert Ballet Music, the Berlioz HSym- phonie 13antastique, and selections from The Student Prince by Sigmund Romberg. The orchestra provided instrumental accompaniment for the A Cappella Choir and Chorus during the presentation of Handel's Messiah on December 12. The Little Symphony Orchestras first 1949 spring concert was heard on March 30. Carl Hunter, tenor, was the featured soloist. Featured instrumentally were four tone poems from In a Persian Garden Suite, and a medley of well known Jerome Kern tunes. In conjunction with the Chico State Music Department, a Spring Concert was presented May 26. The orchestra played the difficult Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiringf' and the modern in tempo Egyptian Ballet by Luigini. ORCHESTRA A CAPPELLA The A Cappella Choir this year has not only grown in nu-mbers, but also in popularity and ability. Choir director is the well-liked Mrs. Ruth Rowland Taylor. Possibly the outstanding event of the year for the Choir was their participation in the per- formance of Handel's The Messiah. During Easter vacation, a portion of the A Cappella Choir represented Chico State in the opening concert of the Music Educators' National Conference at Sacramento. Climaxing the Delta Gamma Mu assembly on April 26, the Choir sang Haydn's 'AThe Heav- ens Are Telling. Featured soloists were Shelby Squire, Kenneth Pope, and James Standard. On May ll and 12, a two-day trip by bus was made by fifty members of the A Cappella Choir. The tour included a number of the high schools of Northern California for the pur- pose of creating good-will. At the music department's Spring Concert, the Choir sang an old English number, Now ls the Month of Mayingf' and I Am Music. The Choir concluded a very successful year by taking part in the Baccalaureate Service and Commencement exercises. James Standard was soloist in front of the Choir during the Sunday service in singing Methinks l Hear a Full Celestial Choir. Song of Farewell was sung at the exercises. f V A CAPPELLA CHOIR: First row-Cardoza, Hatiield, Mills, Hanner, Jenkins, McLain, Taylor, Endicott, Jensen, Bast, Cudde S k S nd row Montgomery Ludden Shuhart Beatty Lewis Reed Mogni, Ebbe, Grubb, Squier back Cable, Barr, toc ton. eco - ,.,. , , Lolmaugh, Burleson, Whisman, Hulen.

On Sunday, December 12, in the college auditorium, the A Cappella Choir and Chorus of approximately l5O voices presented the 15th annual performance of Handel's most famed ora- torio, The Messiah. Mrs. Ruth Rowland Taylor was again the overall director of the i'Messiah, which con- sisted of choir, chorus, soloists, orchestra, piano, and organ. The soloists were Carl Hunter, tenor: Kenneth Pope, tenor: Charmaine Barr, contralto: Clark Lambeth, baritone: James Standard, bass, Fern Ludden, soprano: Shelby Squier, soprano' and Geraldine Williams, contralto. The chorus was accompanied by the orchestra, under the direction of C. Robert Laxson, with S. Maxwell Sypher at the organ, and Charmaine Barr and Joyce Dewhirst at the piano. The Messiah has become traditional since its first presentation in 1931. At Hrst only four choruses of the Messiah were sung, but gradual growth and expansion have occurred and this year eleven choruses were sung. MESSIAH QU Alm. Vikse, Davis, Green. C21 E.

Throughout the year, Mrs. Virginia Erlandson Loose and her advanced, intermediate, and beginning modern dance classes performed for the students at weekly assembly programs and for the general public at the annual spring Dance Recital. Throughout the dance numbers a variety of accompaniment was used, from percussion to recorded music to narrative. This, as well as the variety in mood of the numbers, kept the interest of the audience. The Modern Dance class opened the January 18 assembly in presenting Dynamics, and then the Lord's Prayer. Pit one time during the year a few class me-mbers attended a Dance Symposium in San Francisco. GDER AN CE ODER AN CE The annual Spring Dance Recital was given in the college auditorium on May 24. Fifty- five students from the Modern Dance and Folk Dancing classes participated. The first half of the program consisted of Dance Designs and Fables. The second half was a dance drama, Orlando The idea was taken from Virginia Wolf's Orlando, wherein the main character is sometimes a boy and sometimes a girl. Carol Vikse danced the part of Orlando, who fell asleep and dreamed. In the dream sequences she finds herself a shadow boy in the land of dreams, as a girl in a French cafe, and as a boy in the land of jazz. ln Ancient Greece the boy sees statues come to life, and then he beats a drum for a primi- tive dance by Patti Brownell. Then he is a girl in a Spanish Fiesta, danced by the Folk Dance class. She ends up as a part of a Temple Chant of an ancient time. ll Standing: Rastler. Quiggle. Alden. Kneeling in back: Bean. Davis.

State of the Union was a very timely play last fall, being presented on October 26-27 when interest was high in the national presidency race. This highly entertaining and fast moving play was about a business man who was induced by political boses into the ambition of running for the presidency. The cast included Ernest Neasham, Diana Laumer, William Burleson, Chet Rich, Dolores Green, John Rutland, Ethel Dodgson, John Blair, Rick Davies, Mary Shepard, Louis Hunt, Lou Steiman, Jack Radisich, Cleda Spencer, and Max Latham. Elizabeth Blair Was student director. Jim Kidder Was set designer. Clj Left to right: Green, Laumer, Neasham. Burleson. Rich. CZD Laumer and Neasham talk it out.

' Chico State's second drama presentation was a play that was described as tense, touching, tender, and strangely fascinating. It was the comedy drama, The Hasty Heart, which was given on February 16-l7. John Blair played MacLachlen, a Scotch soldier: Elizabeth Blair was a nurse, the only woman in the play: John Rutland was Yank: Frank lzzard was Digger: Jim Davis, Blossom: Leonard Whitegon, Kiwi: Mel McGuire, Tommy: Rick Davies, Colonel: Don Robertson, orderly. The story is about a wounded Scotch soldier whose last few weeks of life are changed by the attitude taken toward him and ultimately by him to his fellow-patients. The man's eX- treme independence of spirit nearly wrecks the good intentions of those who want to make him happy' 'MTI-IE HASTY HEART R DIO G E ACT PLAYS On May 19-ZO, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay was presented as Chico Stat-e's part in the annual Chico-Humboldt State Dramatic Festival which was held here. Joanne Kelly played Cornelia Skinner and Zilpha Jones was Emily Kimbrough. Others in the cast were John Rutland, Mel McGuire, Jim Duderstadt, Marion Benedict, Don Green, Jack Monger, Matty Allgood, Jim Davis, Betsy Vanden Bosh, Del Green, Cleta Spencer, Doris Mills, Veral Orr, Patti Brownell, and Ken Pope. Fern Ludden was student director of the play. The college radio program on KHSL during the year was called Memo From Chico State. ln the fall interviews were held on the program, in the spring plays were presented.

' A new addition to Chico State activities this year was the formation of a Forensics class and club. Forensics at Chico was founded by Dr. Herbert Rahe. Considering their experience, the college debaters made a pretty fair showing in meeting stiff competition at several tournaments. On February 24 the l9th Annual Intercollegiate Forensics 5 F Tournament was held at Linfield College. Twenty-live colleges and 250 students from the entire , western United States were represented, but Carolyn Spellmann won top honors in the after din- ner speech contest. At the Annual Western Pi Kappa Delta International Tournament at the University of Redlands, March 24-26, Chico State entered three debate teams. Charles Alexander and Jerry Unger were finalists, losing out to more experience. i i RECCRD BOB BEERY, Ecli This yearbook, your record of events and activities throughout the 1948-49 college year, was in the planning stage Well over a year before it was completed and placed on your book- shelf for future reference and enjoyment, Editor Robert Beery was planning this book for you before last year's Record was in your hands. Bob Worked on his own time last summer so that his staff would have a good foun- dation upon Which to make this book as you would Want it, Participants in putting The Record together are too numerous to mention here. Bob Vestal did the art Work, Bill Shonk the copyg Bob Hardenbrook Was business managerg Don Taggart, Mike Murray, and Bob Gray did the photography: and Leo Wurschmidt the divi- sion pages. Credit for a great deal of the Work goes to those that seldom get a mention for their out- standing Work. They are the people that really lift the burden from the editor's shoulders. tor BILL SI-IONK, JR., Copy Editor BOB VESTAL, Art Editor M Record staff: Seated-Y. Le- Moigne, O. Yocumlv R. Johnston M.

I Nick Chames displays an issue of his Wildcat as the editorial staff and report- ers pose around the table for a group shot. Standing in the rear is Arnold E. Needham. publications adviser. Editor Nick Cham-es had the usual difficulties with staff and news coverage in getting started at the first of the year, but soon smoothed things out and had a paper that was Well received by students in general. Numerous controversies, that attracted much student attention and interest, were hashed out in featured columns and editorials during the year. Popular features in various issues of i'The Wildcat were Rick O'Shay by Rick Pihlg 'iWho's Who by Lauren Eickettg Ox Tales by Gheller: and the short-lived Albert and George. Other features that had their share of readers were Musing, a student poetry corner, the traditional Today column, Jay Kohl's Political Flashes, and 'Contemporary Scene by Chet Rich. On Chames' editorial staff during the year were: Jerry Floyd and Ronnie Tyler, news editorsg Eddie Hodges and Lauren Pickett, sports: Evelyn Nixon and Chet Rich, drama: Molly Bassler and Evelyn Nixon, society, Jack Hardin and Bill Thompson, photographers: Jim Chames and Bob Robar, circulation managers. George Smith was business manager and Jim Kidder was art editor for every issue. Dixon Porter Was managing editor, Ted Ball was makeup editor, and Jay Kohl Was political editor on the spring semester staff. r This year's Wildcat staff reorganized the Press Club. This club not only discussed paper problems, but was also a social group. The club entered a uniqu-e fioat in the Pioneer Day parade that printed a sheet that was distributed to spectators.

A Top: Larry Pleas and George Girdler glance through some books as Beth Bottom: Audrey Daniels and Mildred Hollenberg at work in the graduate BUCK STGRE Students will long remember the Book Store as their general store on campus. It was here that you picked up your books and supplies, your cokes, candy, stamps, cigarettes, and other articles that saved you trouble and time. The Book Store also houses the stu- dent lounge: a place to rest or study, or have that in-between-class game of cards. You will also remember the Graduate Manager's oflice to the north of the Book Store. Here Mackay Martin acted as banker to the treasuries of various cam- pus organizations. Athletic schedules were arranged here along with a hundred other tasks. CARDINAL John Cuddeback Y .Y E Another Chico State publication is the Cardinal Code, a 68-page booklet that presents a compact picture of life on our campus, including history, tradi- tions, organizations, and many other features designed to help the freshman and new student in getting acquainted with the college. The work on the book is done during the summer months on the students' own time, and distributed during fresh- man orientation week. The staff this year was Bill Shonk, Jr., editor: John Cuddeback and Jack Lee, assistants: Leo Wurschimidt, pho- tographer: and Jim Kidder, art. CAFETERI The long awaited student cafeteria on campus opened this year a few weeks after school started in the fall. Free coke and coffee were served at the grand opening of the snack bar and soda fountain on September 29, a few weeks before the opening of the cafeteria proper. The cafeteria served its first meal on October l8 with Mrs. Ben Matz as manager. The cafeteria served three meals a day, six days a week throughout the year. Meal ticket service was offered. With the opening of the cafeteria, twice as much business as was expected was done. This resulted in a little trou- ble for awhile in giving better service because of lack of space and adequate food supply. . Variety at the soda fountain was lim- ited for a time, but with the expanding of facilities everything found in an ordi- nary fountain was served. The cafeteria and snack bar were de- signed to aid the student's cost of living, plus saving the student those hurried steps up town between classes for a cup of coffee. Prices in the cafeteria were at the bare minimum-making only the slightest of profit. The cafeteria is under the direction of the Graduate Manager's office, but is owned and operated by the A. S. B. Funds to purchase equipment came from the Student Body treasury: proiits to be used to reimburse the treasury. The cafeteria will operate at cost plus enough to recover the original investment in live years. Another function of the cafeteria is the banquet roo-m, which is available to all campus organizations. Top: Bushl' Dalrymple chats with Yvonne Le- Moigne and Virginia Jenkins on the cafeteria steps.

CG-CHAMPIO F R WESTER C0 FERENCE-194 There were veterans and newcomers for Coach Bohler to Work over in preparation for a strong schedule last fall. Although the squad appeared to be the strongestin pOSt-War football, the team was riddled with injuries from heavy scrimmage practice before the Iirst game. But the crippled and patched-up line held off the Alameda Hellcats remarkably well. The navy men, who later became champions of the 12th Naval District, expected to roll up a big score at the expense of the Wildcats, In the Monmouth game, the Bohlermen proved that they could not be discouraged. After the northerners had scored the lirst time they handled the ball, the Wildcats came fighting back to score a 20-7 Win. The Cardinal and White, team was at its low point of the season when they tangled with Southern Oregon. The Wildcats could do nothing against the Raider passing offense. Chico's strength was proven when they did battle with a surprised Cal Rambler squad in Memorial Stadium. The 'Cats scored first.

After trailing 12-O at half-time, Mel Jones began engineering several drives that just barely missed pay dirt. Charlie Clarke grabbed one of Jones' passes for Chico's only score. Lyle Olsen passed into the wind to try for a tie or victory late in the game, but the attempt fell short.

V. standouts that played quite a bit of ball on the first squad. All Junior Varsity games were close in scoring and were exciting to Watch. In the Enter- prise-Record game the score Was so close it took a moment's hesitation by the timer to determine the winner. The newsboys had scored as the buzzer was sounding. The score was no good and the J. V.'s Won 49-48. The J. V.'s also lost a few games in overtime periods. The Chico Sporting Goods topped the-m that Way. The J. V. squad led all the way against the Aggie J. V. team, only to have that lead chopped down and losing the game in overtime.

Club members and the aircraft they used to fly to Industrial Arts Convention in San Diego early in the Spring semester, ACTIVITIES: - During the Spring semester, four Industrial Arts Club members rented an airplane from Ranchaero Airport and flew down to San Diego for the C. I. E. A. Convention. The trip, which took six hours, was made by Woody Nelson, Vern Squire, Earl McDowell, and Carl Nelson, They visited Mexico as well as attend the many interesting meetings during the two-day convention. Woody Nelson piloted the airplane. The Industrial Arts Pioneer Day Parade float was awarded an honorable mention by the parade judging committee this year. The float depicted an old time barbershop. Bob Hawkins and his float committee used genuine old time barbershop equipment in constructing the float. To add to the humor, which included hedge clippers and blacksmith tongs for cutting hair and pulling teeth, one of the men was taking a Saturday bath in an old tub which was located on top of the truck's cab. During Pioneer Week festivities, the Industrial Arts Club was honored in having its presi- dent, Glenn I-Ioifmann, elected as Pioneer Day Sheriff. The Industrial Arts Club received a first prize for their exhibit at the Third District Pair in Chico in the Spring. Many I. A. Club members put on demonstrations in lathe work and pottery making for the exhibit. It is the policy of the Industrial Arts Club to participate in as many field trips as possible during each semester. The club believes that this type of activity is very helpful and essential in rounding out the curriculum of all I. A. students. Some of the field trips were made to Columbia Steel, United Plywood, and an olive oil plant. IR.

HISTORY: The Ski Club is one of the newest groups on campus. It was organized during the l946-47 college year. It has attracted a large membership and has furthered interest in one of the most exciting of winter sports. OFFICERS Cliff Gilbert ..i,.. ............

Right Cliff Gilbert stops to watch Jack Connelly. With the approach of Winter, enthusiasts of skiing at Chico State once again organized their activities at a meeting on December 10, Many new members joined the club this year. The Ski Club was formed not only to arrange meets for the ski team, but also to teach those students who would like to learn the art of skiing. It was the purpose of this year's club to hold free classes in skiing fundamentals. The classes were to be given on the week-ends that the club goes to the snow area. Plans along this line were hampered with the burning of Mineral Lodge. The Ski Club plans meets with other colleges as well as planning dances and other social activities for its me-mbers. The club also makes arrangements for cabins when a group goes to the Lassen area for an overnight meet. The Chico State Ski Club is a member of the California Ski Association. Newly elected o'fHcers took office at the December 2 meeting. Oflicers were Cliff Ciilbert, presi- dent: Bill Seely, vice-presidentg Maxine Cornelius, secretary-treasurerg and Kirk Zumwalt, his- torian and publicity. During the year the club saw three movies on skiing. The film, distributed by the Swiss Travel Agency, showed the beginning technique of skiing and the present day military maneuv- ers on skiis. The Chico State skiers became members of the Intercollegiate Association during the year. Chico is a member of the Southern Division of the association. The Ski Club, with the aid of Wes Housman, president of the Paciic Coast Intercollegiate Ski Union, formed the iirst ski tea-m ever to represent Chico State. The team only entered one meet and fared well. With the added funds on hand, plus experience, the Chico ski team and club should go far in the 1949-50 college year. ACTIVITIES xv! FRUSH EEK With the arrival of Frosh Week on campus, the sophomores went to work making life mis- erable for the first year students as the upper classmen stood by taking in all the fun. The frosh girls were a sight to see with old-look skirts, hair parted in the middle and not put up, no hairpins, and one earring. The first year men were not such a sight to see, but were always open to a cold dunking in the creek for disobedience. The purpose of Prosh Week is for new students to acquaint themselves with other students and the spirit of the college. Each frosh wore a nameplate, had to stay off the front lawn, use only the side entrances to the main building, and carry the books of the sophomores upon re- quest. To top it off the freshman wore the traditional red and white dink. QU Chi Tau Fraternity barbecue picnic at Sycamore Pool in September.

C61 A poor Frosh is getting the Works from Kourt oficials. Twenty-eight frosh criminals received their sentences in Kangaroo Kourt on October 12 after Prosecuting Attorney Jerry Unger had finished with them. The freshmen seemed resigned to their fate, yet they faced the harsh charges, the redoubt- able evidence, the inevitable verdict, and the brutal sentences with brave hearts and magnificent dignity. Throughout the proceedings, they managed to maintain the grim smiles etched on their lips, though at times their features were obliterated by custard pie that streamed down their faces. A terrific mess was created by the court proceedings, but many freshmen seemed eager to aid in cleaning it up. This strange volunteering was probably the effect of a stupifying mixture of garlic juice, hair tonic, fly spray, sulphuric acid, and limburger cheese extract that was sprayed over the frosh group at regular intervals during Kargaroo Kourt. HO -C MIN G Chico State had a near perfect Home-Coming Day this year. The only thing to mar the fes- tivities was the Home-Coming football game defeat to Southern Oregon. Home-Coming chairman this year was Kirk Zumwalt. He had a well organized committee to coordinate the many activities of the day. Por the first time, a Variety Show was presented on the eve of Home-Coming Day. Direc- tor ofthe show, Rootin' Porky Home, was Rick Pihl. Pihl was also featured in the show as were Bob Torrey, Tom Verhetsel, and Bill Lang's popular tumbling team. The cast and chorus numbered 100 students. HRootin' Porky Home was sponsored by the Block C organization. Judging from its success, Porky may become a tradition of Home-Coming. Clj L.

Following the pre-Home-Corning Variety Show, Chico Staters gathered about the bonfire that was built up by the Freshman class. The bonfire this year was located near Bidwell Bowl. Following a brief pep rally about the bonfire, the students began to serpentine through the streets of Chico to the city plaza. From here a theatre crash was scheduled. Bringing a close to the Home-Coming Day festivities on Saturday was the dance in Memor- ial Hall following the football game. PID EER DAY Rick Pihl, Pioneer Day chairman, presented a perfect day for Chico State students and alumni in May of l949. Besides improving many old features of this annual celebration, Pihl provided several new innovations. One of the innovations was a hospitality club which was to play host to visiting members from Far Western Conference schools. One innovation that did not get out of the planning stage was that for a Pony Express race on the college track. Plans were discontinued for health reasons. A Field Day was held on the track with many games presented for mixed couples. Featuring this page are the before and after shots of Jim Mazzei. Jim's ambition was realized on Pioneer Day when he received the distinction of having the longest beard on campus. The top shot is the finale of Gert Gets the Golden Gate, where the preacher CGhellerD weds off Gertrude Gotrocks QM. Shepardj to Gengis Schlamile CTorreyD. The center shot is that of costume makers for the Variety Show-the persons that seldom receive the recognition they deserve for all the work they do. At the bot- tom left is Variety Show director.

Bottom center: Bill Matz is just about to whip the camera out of is and. On the Thursday before Pioneer Day, Pihl had a large part of the Student Body in Bidwell Bowl for a Tom Sawyer Party. The purpose of the party was to construct a town for the 'Cav- alcad-e Saturday afternoon. A cemetery, saloon, bank, church, and general store were con- structed and the show was rehearsed at the same time. The Faculty-Student softball game ended in a tie, but the Freshmen won the tug-o-war against the Sophomores. Jim Mazzei had the longest beard on campus and Harold Corn had the fuzziest. Prizes for best costumes were awarded to Kathleen Bulkeley and Kenny Pope. Glenn 'lRed Beard Hoffmann Won the race for Sheriff after a spirited election Week. The Sheriff and his posse guarded Little Nell Ingrid Alm Well, for the outlaws never did ind her for the kidnaping. Setting off the Week-end excitement was Delta Psi Delta's annual Pre-Pioneer Day Dance in Memorial Hall on Friday night, The unique hall decorations were also used for the Pioneer Day Dance that Wound up the celebration on Saturday night.

Highlighting Pioneer Day activities was Gert Gets the Golden Gate, the annual Variety Show. The show, directed by Bob Gheller, consisted of eight highly entertaining scenes. i The show featured Mary Shepard and Bob Torrey, but the show stoppers were the Gym- nasts Bill Lang, Paul Dawley, and Garth Dunning: dancers Anita Gordon and Diana Laumerg , and the Half-Brewed Indians Doug Sundby and Kirk Zumwalt. 'Cert Gets featured nine new songs written by Bob Russell and Bob Gheller. CAR IVAL The Student Body Carnival this year was for the benefit of the World Student Service Fund. Co-chairmen of the fund-raising campaign were Pat Walker and Joel Leach. The Carnival was held at Central School. Many personalities and organizations combined their efforts and talents for the preparation and execution of this project. All money taken in was used to swell the funds for foreign col- lege students, A-mong the concessions were a puppet show, marriage booth, casino, caricature drawing, nail driving contest, mousetrap concession. shooting out lighted candles with water pistols, ringing chicken necks, penny toss, and dart throwing.
