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.
