their work immediately after last spring’s elections, con- tinued it on through the summer, and reached the fall term well prepared for the year. registering students who joined the student association were given a handbook, sponsored by the council, which served to introduce new students to the college life and to interest old students in the association’s many activities. the social program during the year included informal and formal dances, picnics, fun nights, rallies and as- semblies. drama, music and art activities made up the fine arts students’ calendar, while full seasons of basket- ball, baseball, track, tennis and golf provided training for physical education students. student publications staffs published the weekly student newspaper and this yearbook, and lent their assistance to college athletic and general publicity. as a group, the council evolved polices and programs for this year and many to follow, working always for a better and more united sacramento state college student association. with the prospect of a new group of lower classmen the problems facing this council and the ones in the years to come became greater. time, work and effort produced a full program for student activities this year with the promise for the future being only one of encouragement. executive council mary mooney helen zwack bob me mahon vice-president

Whatever the purposes of our clubs may be, they are approached with friend- ly appreciation and enjoyment which is the essence of real understanding. the newman club, for example, while primarily catholic in nature, offers all students a program of religious, educational, and social activity. the club is named after john cardinal newman, the great english clergyman of the last century. weekly meetings are held at the catholic center, 1115 k street. these include panel talks on current problems, religious discussion, games, Vv dancing, and the yearly banana split social. the newman club frequently sponsors on-campus events such as c a philosophical lecture by dr. mortimer adler, noted educational theorist, the candidacy of cecilia fava, winner of t the casaba queen contest, and projects for the r world university service and student loan fund drives. Social events working akin to christian con- cepts of better living are also notable features of campus y, the college branch of ymca and ywea. guest speakers, open forums, and soci- ological activities are part of the group’s in- terests. membership is open to everyone who agrees with the club’s ideals of non-denomi- national paticipation in the religious racial, and humane affairs of the world. campus y california student teacher’s association emphasizing the future profession of most ssc students is csta — the california student teacher’s association. a junior branch of the state organization, this group offers a social program featuring potluck dinners, banquets,and discussions of pertinent educational top- ics. csta has been active with cake sales, and activities for the loan fund and wus cam- paigns. sociology club occasional guest speakers from state agencies are featured in both csta and the acti- vities of the sociology club. social welfare, research and sociology in general are the con- cerns of the club which invites membership from all interested students. at least one field trip per year is taken, and it is probable that some of the meetings are enlivened by sac- ramento state ballad singer dr. herrington. american chemical society the informal approach to important matters does not deter ssc students from considering subjects both technical and abstruse. the campus affiliates of the american chemical society offer chemistry peo- ple a wide range of experiences: presentation of original work before interested authorities, vocational discussions, experimental demonstrations, and industrial field trips are part of the group’s program of learning with a social implication. moving out of the laboratory and studying science in the setting of the natural countryside is the practice of the biological association of sacramento state. b.a.s.s. is noted for its field trips to yose- mite, to dillon’s beach, and to various points in the surrounding valley and sierras. the club also spon- sors picnics and dances, as well as participating in the two fund drives of the year. while the outdoor, informal tone of california prevails in the activities of b. a.s.s., the basic intention is the expansion of scientific knowledge. a particular concern of this group is the spreading of the concept of conservation of native resources and life. several of the members have offered master’s projects dealing with local plants, animals, and insects. biological association of sacramento state green and o wf � } one of the more exclusive campus organizations is the green and gold varsity society. membership is restricted to holders of ssc varsity block letters. the group’s primary interests are promotion of school support in athletic activities, and furthering the inter-scholastic sports program. several social dinners are held each year. the club sponsors the annual alumni basketball game, and runs the concessions at the home games of the hornet basketball squad. the women’s recreation association offers physical education activities to women students interested in sports. this group encourages intra-mural contests and a recreational-educational program of games and dance training. yearly tournaments are held in several sports. a state convention meets each spring. women’s recreation association ski club the spring that sees the wra convention also brings the end of the main activity of the ski club. while the very name of the club declares it to be a group of shiver-inclined sports enthusiasts, the organization does not wait on the snow to make itself a notable campus social factor. “dry’’ ski runs and a baseball game on skis help to sharpen up the members for the snow country. club member- ship entitles skiers to free instruction, and reduced rates for transportation and equipment. non- win- ter events include dances, parties, and ski movies. while the ski club depends on snow, the buzz club is active in every season. this is the official rally organization of the college, having charge of all rallies and cheer-leading. buzz club also sponsors as- semblies and other campus activities, such as the casaba queen contest. the group is pa rticularly ac- tive in the annual student loan fund drive jamboree, doing most of the planning. membership is pre- sently limited to twenty-five, with new members elected after six weeks trial. buzz club mathematics club from science it is but a short step to mathematics as the one could not well survive without the other. the mathematics club is the social organ for the math students of the college, but associate membership is open to non-math people interested. the club’s activities are mainly involved with vocational po- tentialities in the mathematical field and those related. guest speakers are frequently heard. mathematics is also the core of economics, marketing, and business. in this area, students are of- fered the student marketing club, a local affiliate of the american marketing association. at monthly evening meetings the members hear speakers from various business fields. social events include dances and picnics. marketing club press club: the newest campus organization in form is long in its tradition of activities: the press club was founded to unite the interests of those inactively interested in journalism with those who participate in producing the hornet and the statesman. several social functions, including a ‘house-cooling” to mark the passing of the | 1th avenue hornet office, a june banquet, and a state collegiate press association convention in fresno, have been notable this year. this year’s edition of the international discussion group is the biggest and most enthusiastic in the club’s campus history. international discussion group this group, founded to advance knowledge and understanding in world issues and po- tentualities as expressed through interna- tional action, sponsored an ambitious assem- bly for united nations day. songs and dances were performed by representatives of several nations. talks by foreign students on vital issues affecting their own lands and the world are prominent together with an an- nual delegation sent to the model united nations conference. idg seeks world unity and common under- standing of life. music provides an inter- national bond between peoples. this great cultral subject is combined with educational training in the meetings of the music edu- cator’s national conference. the club, locally affiliated with a national organization, is pri- marily intended to further the use and value of school music. while active in the social field with parties, dances, barbecues, and other events, menc is especially noted for its series of matinee musicals. these perform- ances, given weekly, feature outstanding musicians from the campus. many of the members were active in the christmas con- cert and the annual saturday club resident artist event. ( thespiazusae music and drama are similar in their need for performance to an audience; menc serves the cam- pus musician, while thespiazusae, the council of thespis, meets the wants of those interested in the theatre. the club is aimed to increase appreciation and performance of drama, and participation is re- quisite to membership. drama readings, discussions, recordings, and performances, highlight the ac- tivities of the group. excursions to other campuses, participation in assemblies, and seasonal parties are also part of the club’s work. several members of thespiazusae were featured in the college productions of the curious savage, the hasty heart, and don lind’s play, the idiots. each year outstanding mem- bers are elected to alpha psi omega, the national honor fraternity for drama. while there are specialized clubs dealing with music and drama, it is in pro artibus that all the arts are brought together. this organization, though little over a year old, has had a remarkable success on campus; no sooner was the club founded than it won the first trophy to be awarded for the best booth at th e 1952 loan fund drive jamboree with its paris cafe setting of a portrait sketching studio. the club also sponsored the art raffle at the jamboree. pro artibus presented a fashion show, one of the major events of the wussf drive, and has taken part in one or two assemblies. evening social meet- ings, seasonal parties, and an end of the year “backyard barbecue” are features of the club. pro artibus also fostered the founding of sscribe, the college magazine, which has now become a separate organiza- tion. pro artibus theta chi rce on the cam- t, as well as y impor campus din- nd athletics are a part of the group's e ideals of good fellowship, .”., student

basketball team in the history of sacramento state college. although wolf could claim only three returning veterans, namely, center tommy brian, and forwards tom sekul and mike libera, his hornets rolled up a neat 22-8 record for the campaign, including a victory skein of 13 games. installing a rotating post system based on continuity patterns, wolf found a good woorking combination of mike libera, 6’ |’ and dick vinci, 6’ 3¥%2”’ at forwards, tom brian, 6’ 4” center, and george goto and chris georgis, both six footers at guards, for his starting five. this combination was tricky and fast on offense and very tight on defense. george larsen, 6’ 2%” forward saw considerable action during the first semester. after libera’s graduation at mid term, larsen took over his starting role. he possessed a deadly shot from mid court which stunned many hornet opponents. top utility men were joe geyer and dwight dickey, both 5’ 11” athletes. each man filled in at guard or forward and were injected into the lineups at tight spots to pump through fast baskets to pull the hornets out of danger. the remainder of the squad consisted of tom sekul, 6’ 1%” forward, gene gardner, 6’ 12” for- ward, and bob taylor, 6’ 2’ forward. all played consistently for state. the hornets opened the season on november | 8, with a bright victory over the sacramento state alumni 53 to 46. highlights of the campaign included a five day barnstorming trip in the state of oregon which found the hornets bringing home the same number of victories. they dumped southern oregon, linfield college, lewis and clark, pacific university, and willamette university all in a row. coach wolf’s club returned home only to be setback in two tight battles with the cal poly five. following the two defeats the green and gold went on to win thirteen straight. foes to fall at their hands included pacific university, college of pacific, twice, nevada, twice, mather field, chico state, twice, san francisco, twice, california agggies, twice, and the san francisco olympic club. the olympic club was a heavy favorite but the hornets took control of the game and played out- standing ball all evening. san jose snapped the thirteen game streak in san jose on february 14. fresno state added an- other defeat the following week but the hornets came back the second night of the twin bill to bring home a victory. nevada blanked the hornets in their second meeting. coach wolf's men ended the season at the national athletic intercollegiate association tourna- nament in los angeles during the first week of march. the hornets began strong by bumping off pepperdine but lost out in the finals to pasadena nazarene. top scorer for the season was chris georgis, who tanked [24 field goals and 101 charity shots for 349 points and a good I1.7 average. center tom brian was second with 105 field goals and 90 free throws for 300 tallies.

however george stopped off at stanford along the way and chris served a strecth in the air force. the lone left-hander was sturdy gene gardner, from last years hornet nine. hammy hintz was the top utility man on the club. the season started on march 25th against the cal aggies in sacramento, at which time the horn- ets thumped their neighbors 10 to 2. other clubs to meet the green and gold were college of pacific, chico state, fresno state, mather field, parks air force base, and stanford university. the hornets played each club more than once. field house and surrounding area jerry kaiser goes for a grounder al brown waits for the pitch baseball at bat is ezio “atch” pedretti left to right, kneeling: garland shinn and paul willey. standing, laverne walton, leighton case, coach jack jossi, eldon rowe and gene aguilar. tennis coach jack jossi’s hornet tennis squad, one of the strongest in state’s history, opened the new season by completely shutting out sacramento junior college, yuba college and placer, during the first week in march. all meets took place in sacramento. with only two men turning out for the net sport with any sacramento state experience, jossi’s team held | its own against any club it met during 53. garland’ shinn and gene aguilar were the two veterans re- | turning back for more action. heading the list of new racket athletes was paul willey, former university of oregon star who came from canada. he was once the fourth ranking canadian amatuer tennis player. another man right be- hind willey was eldon rowe, former sacramento junior college great, whose tennis knowledge helped the hornets power to victory. completing the roster were laverne walton and leighton case, both mem- bers of a championship team at yuba college in 1952. other schools to meet the hornets included college of pacific, cal aggies, chico state, nevada, san fran- cisco state, fresno state. one of the outstanding features of the schedule was the northern california tennis association tournament held in berkeley on march 19, 20, 21 and 22. eldon rowe bearing down on opponent paul willey waiting to fire back on a rival coment left to right, front row: grant dreary, john bohl and don deckhoff. standing: coach aubrey bates, joe fernandez, gordon burgess, tom sekul, ken frye and gordon ingram. golf dr. aubrey bates had a well rounded nine man golf team to represent sacramento state during the 1953 season. the hornets opened a ten match schedule on march 23 in sacramento against the strong ore- gon state college beavers. they were supposed to meet san francisco state in the opener on march 19 but old man weather interfered. the teams met at a later date. two returning veterans, ken frye and joe fernandez provided experience for the locals. frye was the leader of the 1952 team shooting in the 70’s. newcomers included don deckoff, tom sekul, john bohl, gordon burgess, gordon ingram, grant deary and dick boyd. all were men of experience and gave the hornets strength against opposing linksmen. the remainder of the schedule included: march 25, chico state college in sacramento;
