They were pioneers in one of the most romantic and picturesque movements in all history. The trails they blazed led to the formation of the great commonwealth which we all love and honor. But the days of trail makers have not passed. May our labors from day to day be rewarded by the knowledge that the trails we are now blazing are paths that lead upward. Let us seek our El Dorado in the highlands of the mind. SHERMAN L. BROWN, Principal. I 3 13..- If FACULTY T. O. RINKER LILLIE EARLL THELMA THOMING VICE-PRINCIPAL.

Every student of good standing may belong to it. The Student Body was headed by William Brown during the fall semester. Under his direction many interesting events were held. One of the best Freshman receptions was given the newcomers to Chico High. This year regular assemblies were held on Friday mornings between the second and third periods. This plan is much better than the former one of having no special time for meetings. Now the business is never postponed indefinitely. Through regular assemblies it is also possible to have programs each week. This term many interesting people have spoken to the students. Also enjoy- able entertainments were sponsored by classes and organizations. The Honor Society took charge of an assembly and presented a program of musical num- bers. Often the dramatics and public speaking classes contributed something to the programs. The Boys' Hi Y secured Mr. Merle Waterman, who is con- nected with Y. M. C. A. work in Hollywood, to speak. He told many facts about world peace and showed how high school students could help to further world brotherhood. He also entertained with several whistling and piano solos. At one meeting the Accordion Trio showed their versatile musical skill. Although they specialized on the accordion, the members of the trio were talented in singing, playing the saw, and the piano. Several assemblies were given over entirely to rallies. During the second semester, Lucille Cooper was Student Body president. At the beginning of this period a banquet was held to discuss questions of student government. Besides the Student Body officers those who attended were, members of the Student Control Committee and Executive Board, mem- bers ofthe different clubs, classes, and the Red and Gold, and several members of the faculty. The short talks given by Miss Neill. Miss Jones, Miss Currie, Mr. Rinker, Gilbert Venos and Louise Butts were followed by a general dis- -..asf I7 lg..- cussion of the student control of other schools and its application in Chico High School. This meeting was the first large step toward the advancement of Student Control: it was quite successful. The Executive Board, a group composed of one representative elected from each organization in the school, meets regularly with the Student Control Committee to arrange for all student activities. At one meeting it was decided that three members of the committee speak at a Student Body meeting about their government. Accordingly, at the following assembly Pearl Miller, Gilbert Venos, and Garvin Estes illustrated to the students a few of the benefits of a government in which students control themselves. By this manner students who were not wholly familiar with the principles of self-government were taught the fundamentals. Another enjoyable feature of the year was the Colonial Art Exhibit, held here January 18-20. With only a few exceptions nearly every student attended it, as well as many outsiders. As there was no expense to the exhibit all the money raised was used to buy some of the prints on display. Eleven pictures were bought to decorate the walls of our building. These were decided upon by the students. Each person wrote the name of his choice on the back of his ticket and turned it in. Harbor Lights, by Vincent, proved to be the most popular picture. Since the beginning of the spring semester the students have had the oppor- tunity to consult their advisors at regular periods. About once a week advisory meetings are held. Some groups have taken up the study of parliamentary law and have organized into clubs. Several social events have also been held by the various groups. The seniors have spent most of their time discussing the problem of what they are to do after leaving high school. Each advisor made a list of vocations in which his students were interested. The principal arranged for speakers to come and talk to students who were particularly inter- ested in certain lines of work. This has proved very helpful to the students. The Student Body had the pleasure of presenting a great number of block C's to members of the various athletic teams. Also, eight members of the Agricultural Club were given an agriculture The boys were the nrst to receive this letter as the new constitution provided for such an award. Without a doubt the Carnival put on by the Student Body was the main event of the year. In previous years the expense of publishing the Caduceus was met by requesting advertising from the merchants of Chico. A desire was expressed to raise the money for this year's annual by having a carnival. Every organization in the school prepared to take part in the festival on April 13 and 14. The Carnival accomplished its purpose: over enough money was cleared to pay for the Caduceus. , During 1928 the different classes were given the opportunity of carrying off special honors. This was made possible through the faculty's generosity. They presented the Student Body with a beautiful bronze plaque on which will be engraved the name of the winning class each year. This award will be made a perpetual gift and will be awarded to the winning class on Com- mencement Day. The plaque is in the shape of a heart, twenty-one inches by eighteen inches, having a silver center with eight small plaques around the outer side on which the names of the classes will be engraved. A committee composed of student and faculty members will choose the winning group. The points to be considered by the judges are: Scholarship. citizenship, attendance, service and leadership. By this basis the lower classes will have as good a chance to win as either of the upper classes. I 3 1 Late this year several amendments to the constitution were passed. An amendment was proposed making a student chairman of the Student Control Committee, the principal having been chairman before. Garvin Estes was elected to 611 this office for the remainder of the semester. Also a provision was made to award to boys who win block C's in one sport for four years a sweater, blanket, or trophy. The constitution was amended so that students who achieve membership in the Honor Society will be presented with the insignia of the C. S. E. Those who are members of the organization for two-thirds of their high school career will be presented with the Life Membership pin of the C. S. F. by the Student Body and receive the official seal on their diploma. Also the question of awarding letters to girls was much discussed, Although the constitution has only been in effect one year, it has been found that it is very complicated and that it should be revised. Ac:ordingly, a change to the commission form of government was considered. Under this form the Student Body would elect its officers as usual, and also several com- missioners to take charge of the different departments such as, finance, boys' and girls' activities, social, and student welfare. Each commissioner would appoint his committee or assistants. The Board of Commissioners would take the place of our Executive Board and Student Control Committee. There are many advantages in this form of government. It is much more simple and easy to understand. It creates more oflices, thereby giving more students the opportunity of taking part in the actual governing of the Student Body. The commission form is practically the same as our city government. By this the students would learn the foundation of government by practicing it. If this change is not accomplished this semester, it is hoped that it will be brought about next year in time for the election of oflicers for the spring semester. This year has proved to be one of the most eventful that Chico High School has ever known. Every task that was undertaken was performed well. Our Carnival was very successful. Our athletic teams made excellent show- ings. the track team winning the N. C. H. S. A. L. championship and the others upholding Chico's reputation. At the end of this year all the students may say that it has been one of the happiest that they have ever spent.

OUR OUT-OF-TOWN SCHOOLMATES HICO HIGH SCHOOL covers a greater amount of territory than we some- times believe. It has for several years had two branches, one at Paradise and the other at Stirling City, for which the same principal and same school board function as for the local high school. These two schools are really a part of us. Heretofore they have not been given space in our annual, but now we feel that they are a division of our school just as much as any of the other classes. The students from there come here eventually. The Paradise school teaches the first year, with Mr. Ullery at the helm, and the Stirling City school with Mr. Fogg instructor. And so, we are glad to be the first to officially welcome these two into our midst. It is a new era for them in many ways. We wish them the same success of growth in future years. EMZOEIQE STIRLING CITY HIGH SCHOOL HE Stirling City High School is a branch of the Chico High School, teach- ing the first two years. There are nineteen pupils, including six Freshmen, ten Sophomores, and three special students who are not taking all of the regular subjects. We try to give at least one school play a year: last year we gave two. This year's play was, When a Feller Needs a Friend, and everybody seemed to like it very much. With the money from these plays we are building a swimming pool-not a cement one, it is true, but a place close to town where you can swim and enjoy yourself. As for sports, ours are not as varied as yours, but we have some that you are not so fortunate in having. Our winter sports are skiing, sliding, and snowballing. You may be sure we have lots of fun. Then we have our tennis courts. They belong to the town but are rolled and kept in good condition by the high school students. We play baseball in a vacant lot not far from the high school. Mr. Fogg, our teacher, has been teaching us how to swing Indian clubs, but we are not very expert at that yet. Our playground equip- ment consists of a volley ball, a basket ball a, football, a bat, and several Indian clubs. The schoolhouse was enlarged last fall by a twelve by twelve addition. Not much of an addition, you may say, but it surely helps us out in regard to space. We have no laboratory for trying experiments. General science isn't as interesting as it might be because of the lack of equipment. We are not dis- couraged, though, because we are slowly but surely getting new equipment. We haven't much of a reference library. Three incomplete sets of ency- clopedias, one new set, three dictionaries and a few fiction books comprise our librar . Aifter stating these disadvantages we do not want you to think that we are not learning anything because we are doing the best we can under the cir- cumstances. In some ways we have the advantage over the Chico High School, because, there being but a few of us, we get more personal attention from the teacher. I think on the whole, although there are many things we lack and need, we are fairly well satisfied with the Stirling City High School. -Lois Omer, Stirling City. -..gf 20 B..- Nl DUI lliUS fflmifs PARADISE CLASS S THE big blue bus rolls past, we freshmen of Paradise often feel envious toward the further advanced pupils. However, we have advantages that they have not. First, We know our teacher better and can get help from him outside of the regular class period. Also, the whole class is organized into a student body. We have a party about once a month. There are fourteen of us enrolled. Our studies are: Algebra, civic prob- lems, general science, and Latin. In English we have studied some very inter- esting books in class, Treasure Island, Silas Marnerf' and The Merchant of Venice. As to sports, we have but one major organization, the Tennis Club. The oflicers are: President, Dorothy Rainousg vice-president, Ronald Mulkey: and secretary-treasurer, Ruth Graham. We also have a volley ball court and the girls have a good time playing volley ball when they can't play tennis. Some- times, when the weather-permits, we play baseball. At the iirst of the year the girls played basket ball quite a bit but tennis was the most popular. The boys' most popular sports, in order, are: Baseball, tennis, volley ball, football, and basket ball. Don't you upper classmen sometimes feel envious of our many good times? We know each other so well, in fact so much better, both in the classroom and on the playground. Do you blame us for thinking we have pretty good times up here? We think, everything considered, that we are more lucky than if it were otherwise. We are positive we learn more! We do not profess to compete with the Seniors, but, well-take it or leave it--we consider ourselves pretty lucky. Perhaps we shall appreciate a large school more by having had these pleasant experiences in a small one. 13'-13'01Eo3+ FROM AN ALUMNUS HAVE been asked to write a few words concerning the needs of the Chico High School. Offhand, it would seem a difficult assignment, for the casual observer, par- ticularly one who attended C. H. S. in the antiquated building now known as the Central Grammar School, can see only the advantages given the student today . There will be a better high school, better football and track teams, and better men and women in after years if Chico High School students will realize that beyond the athletics, beyond the social events of school years, there exists a deeper, more serious purpose-training for life through education. By recognition of this fact and coooperation among themselves and with the faculty to realize the true goal of high school training, Chico High School students can make their school a truly great institution. -Norman B. Deuel. -..ggi 21 Ep.- l.l5l7Qil'l'?3 43051 l O 2 8 , SENIOR HISTORY CHAPTER 1. S A HUNDRED easily recognizable Freshmen, we, the future leaders of this community, entered with fiying colors. Seeing so many superior upper classmen, however, we betook ourselves to the washrooms, basement, furnace room, and other places of refuge. We stayed in these places till after dark and then sneaked out the back way and home. So on, day after day. Finally we screwed up courage enough to attend classes regularly, passing in and out of the doors quickly and quietly. The first day a Mr. Ferguson, whom we came to recognize early in our career as being the principal, guided our little feet along the thorny path. Principal told us to take at least four solids. Four solid silver spoons disap- peared from the cooking room and were found later in Morris Hendrix' locker. Being recognized as a juvenile delinquent, not responsible for his acts, he was easily acquitted. November 12, 1924, the Red and Gold came out with big red letters across the front page, Down Orovillef' That little Mery boy, what's his name? Larry? Yes-well, he thought that was a new kind of stuffing for pillows, mattresses and freshmen comforters. No, Larry, we are going to have a game with Oroville, a football game. Oh gee, we got beat. Oh well, it was only because the freshmen weren't old enough to be on the team. You can't take freshmen out in the field without bonnets. They catch cold too easily. We, the freshmen, all came in throngs to the Freshman Reception on October 3, bringing papa, mamma and company. It was a good place for us to get acquainted with our fellow creatures and to learn how little we knew about the ancient art of dancing. Who is that big boy dancing with all the freshman girls? Oh, that is Blocky Mecum. Kind of him to do that, huh? Every loyal Freshman votes for Lloyd Brooke for Student Body president. We're just the type that would vote for him because he said he didn't want the votes. Owen Bennett must have been popular in his younger days. He is elected to the executive board right away. We are getting away from our baby days now and growing up a little. No wonder, with such a mature sophomore example before us. Norman Hansen appears for the first time in the ten years of his life in long pants! Feature it, children, and then tell me how we, as freshmen, can continue in our childish ways. Bill Schaller is elected president of the class to protect us weaker members. He does it pretty well. Early in April we give the first Freshman Dance. It is a wet affair for more reasons than one, the main reason being it rains all night. Things go on this way for weeks until finally we strike, but not until June 10, because we have to wait for report cards to come out, and we might as well stick around awhile anyway. CHAPTER II. We are now Sophomores spelled with a capital We can't ever remem- ber being anything but distinguished, outstanding, second year students and scholars. -..H 22 ya...- JEAN MORONY ALVIN KORN Bee Wright is our new class president and general leader in escapades. The seniors beat us to it and gave the first dance this year. It was a flop. anyway. There's now a radio broadcasting station here in town and we find Lucille Cooper pushing the door down to get in and play before the microphone. She entertained the Fiji Islanders, the Eskimos and the Chinamen. They seemed to like it because they sent in no complaints. I always said, you couldn't keep that girl down. Well, what do you think, we play Oroville again, even after that humiliat- ing defeatelast year, so we hold a big rally and all-around-get-together on November 25. Well, the Panthers defeat Oroville this time with hardly an effort. Simple? Yes and how? As Sophomores we are better able to handle the enemy than we were last year. The Board of Education gets real kind hearted this year and gives us sixteen C163 days and nights vacations. Realize what this means. Nothing less than two C23 weeks and two C25 days of absolute freedom from work, worry. and plane geometry. Christmas is over and the big political battle comes off once more. Tyler defeats them all, scoring another point for the brunettes. Several prominent sophs are taking up bridge. As a class, we sophs be- lieve bridge is the ideal diversion for indolent, lazy, and disinclined students. Talk about track men, we have the unequaled champions. There's Eddie Mayfield who is high point man and a Sophomore too. Wait till that boy grows up and he'll be manager of the Pony Express. Another month more or less and school will be out. We bid fond adieu to our teachers and with tears in our eyes and a sob in our voices reach blindly for our report cards and adjourn. CHAPTER III. Juniors! At last we have reached this stage in our development. The two blondes. Butts and Brouchoud, start the school year right by serving punch at the Freshman Reception. -..ga 23 B+..- iv'-t at More football material is needed in the form of men like Shepherd, Venos, and O'Brien. These three musketeers never fail the team. Howzatt? Oh, they never let the women interfere with what they believe to be their civic duty. Pst! Oroville is defeated again. Don't breathe it to a soul or our enemies might get the idea that we have a better team than they. The battle is on now! No more dates or auto rides till Bertha Wise is elected president. Walter Pretious wrote to the governor for support in the election, but woe on him! the better man wins. Step up, boys, and give this little lady a hand! Miss Bertha Wise, although she probably is not as capable as a junior would be in the same positio, will carry on the government most successfully. Whoopiel Dr. Heller- has bought a new car! They have just told us that the auditorium is not big enough to hold all the students. In that case Walter Pretious will have to graduate as a matter of kindness to the overcrowded freshmen. They hate to see him go, but considering that we are piled in three deep, one less just removes that much pressure from the ceiling. The Music Festival was held at Marysville this year. Our girls won first place in the glee clubs. They're so proud that they can't get their hats on. Mr. Ferguson has resigned. Believe it or not, but it's the truth and nothing else. Whyzatt? Well Paul Little, without whom this school could not func- tion properly, has asked for the job. He feels that he can better carry on the work of reconstruction if he can Mussolini the faculty. Oh, shucks, he didn't get the job, but he will meet Mr. Brown, the new principal, at the railroad station next September and give him a few pointers on How to Browbeat the Other Fellow After He Has Sat on You. Vacation once more. We all pass out from the building and the heat. CHAPTER IV. The last and most important chapter of our high school lives is now developing. What with our increased good looks, refined and cultured bear- ing, unlimited knowledge of the world about us, and our superiority com- plexes. we are undoubtedly the most important members of the student body. The two Browns. Bill and Mr., are getting along just fine. They're just as congenial as the Gold Dust Twins. The Red and Gold announces that we have won a few league games this season. Why not, with such a handsome new coach Cfootball, not auto- mobilel. You should have seen the Boys' Edition of the Red and Gold. Even the dumbest freshman could have told who was the editor without looking at the editorial page. The editor calls himself the Whole Wit.-Oh, yes, I nearly forgot to include the Half Wit. April 13, besides being Monday, marks the date of our Carnival. The business manager starts the row. The faculty helps him out. The selected few. as usual, do the work, and the unselected many spend their money. Did I hear anyone ask what those animals around the walls are? Lady, those ain't animals, those is friezes! However, the whole thing comes out in A Number One order, owing to Mr. Brown's untiring work on the cleanup committee. He moves chairs back into the classrooms until the Wee small hours of the morning. --D-if 24 C IXIUIICTFUS ifbscs' I W H May 4 puts in its appearance with abundant promises for our success at Willows. Days before the unhappy event we polished horns, tuned liddles, and got out the old uniform for mother to press. Woe is mel The glee clubs showed up fairly well with second place apiece, but, dear friends of radio-land, in spite of the noble and untiring work of the Seniors, the band and orchestra took or rather were given fourth places. Discouraging, what? But, dear friends. what heretofore may not have been explained to you as a definite reason why we attained the victory of fourth place, will herein be elucidated in the following short but concise lines. As musicians, we were not able to rank first, not being the best, were not quite as good as second, nor could we come up to the standard of third. However, as we ranked higher than fifth place, it is undoubtedly clear to everyone applying the principles of mathematics that we were accredited with fourth place. One week later, Jean Morony called a special meeting, to decide on the type, style, color, length, width, weight and size of the uniforms to be worn for graduation. The business of this meeting was to be kept a dead, dark secret. not even telling where we were going. Oh well, that's out anyway. Doesn't it beat all how some people can spread the news around faster than the daily papers? Some eaves-dropping Juniors announced to the school that the Seniors were going to have a Cut Day. We each paid our fifty shekels to the food committee which arranged some dandy meals. Two Seniors had to be left behind to report on the condition of affairs in the absence of the gover- nors. Another reason these two could not cut with us on Friday was that there would not have been enough for them to eat. Their ample portions were eaten the day before by the Misses Irene Robinson and Margaret Waters. Fifty cents apiece will be collected from these two at a later date. The Princess Mine proved to be very interesting. Vart Vartabedian has staked his claim. Anyone disbelieving Vart's story that one can find nuggets in this region as big as eggs will write or phone one of the many witnesses whose numbers will be found in the telephone directory. You're welcome. Don't mention it. Six Easy Lessons in Panning may be had by anyone who desires to write to Mr. Musselman at Coutolenc, California, dealer in soft drinks. P. S. Several of the more artistically inclined Seniors left insidious notices, cleverly worded and phrased, on the various blackboards. These notices were to remind lower classmen that we were gone, otherwise they might have insulted one of their own kind, mistaking him for a Senior. Colored chalk for this work was furnished by the Board of Education. The boys have selected their style of dress-white flannels and blue coats. After they have worn them on the stage, all they need do is to press them nicely and lay them away in the attic. Moths are especially fond of them for dessert after they have been chewing all winter on the old overcoat. Those boys, feeling that they cannot afford to throw them away will arrange for a trip to Palm Beach where these trousers are in style at the present time. May 21. The taxpayers send men to give vocational talks. Many Seniors decide to take up aviation. Evelyn and Wesley are both going to be flyers, it seems. I wonder why. They seem to be walking on air now. June I4 rolls around and we graduate. Amid sorrowing friends we struggle through the ordeal and come out of the anaesthetic without any bad results. Don't you worry, little freshman, some of us love the old school so well that we are coming back next year for P. G. work, so you won't forget the beautiful, big, grownup seniors who often helped you to fix your excuses to look more like papa's writing. --Helen Davis. 25 H+-- ! .

He had now turned 'miner and was making his poke in a profitable claim back in them thar hills. I'm thinkin', said Zeb as he leaned on his shovel, I'll give up mining an' try my hand at brain work like some of them as graduated from old Chico High in'the class of '28. Now there's Lester Turner, he continued. He's a famous scientist an' explorer an' has writ several weighty treatises such as 'The Progemtors of the Skimpus' and 'The Types of Beans Devoured by the Chaldeansf . Guess you remember them two Korns--Alvin and Dalvin. Wal, they're appearin' as the Siamese Twins in a medicine show. They was allus anxious to go before the footlightsf' Zeb, I interrupted, what has become of the staff members of the school annual? Are they still alive? Yep, they're a brainy aggregation. Louisy Butts is the editor of 'The Daily Wheeze' which was formerly the Red and Gold. I heard that she's strongly opposed to women pugilists and bull-fighters which is now the rage. Eleanor Crouch is now the wife of the Mayor of Magalia. She frequently entertains at pink teas and sausage parties. Then, I recken, you remember Alice Cummings. She's turned out to be one of these here authoresses and social reformers. Her latest book contends the old belief that men and women air created equal. There's Lucille Cooper. You hain't forgot her, hev ye? Wal, she's a piany player in one of them opery companies in New York. She directs a couple of banks for pastime. Bob Compton, he's the Mayor of Stirling City. He ain't got anything to do 'cept welcome Haley's Comet on its return journey to earth. Where are all the athletes in the dear old class that was Tommy Costar's pride? I asked. Wall, Doug Brayton, he's the chief seneschal at the home of Vera Forward at Dayton. I-Ie takes the Pekinese out for its daily stroll. Horace Dunning just swatted 5M home runs for the New York Giants. Pretty good, eh? An' those two track men, Paul Pillsbury and Leland Phillips, air goin' to Pata- gonia to compete in the Olympics. Larry Mery, the former iron puddler and blonde tenor of Chico High, has returned from Europe where he sung before the crowned heads and stiff necks of the aristocracy. You know Willie Brown? Wal, he's the Mayor of Chico now, an' a model gentleman an' hero. He was supported in his recent election by the S. A. O. M.-Society of Agitated Old Maids. An' Morris Hendrix an' Gene Musselman are big butter an' egg men of Coutolenc. tThey've established a frog pond at Toadtown and air also producin' frog legs an' silver snails fer the tables of Chico's elite sassity. Yeh, an' there's Webby Payne. He's become a famous movie villain. In his latest picture, 'Adam and Eve,' he took the part of the snake in the garden scene, by gum. Of course, you ain't forgot Jean Morony, the president of the Senior -..ggi 39 E+..- win 5 is 1 Q 3 s class. He's one o' them there architects which designs dog houses for outgrown lap pups. Strike me dead if I didn't see that high hattin' Marie Morse in Frisco t'other day. She air now the wife of that ten cent millionaire, Woolworth. Lawrence Streeter is travelin' with the Stingum Bros. Circus. He performs such feats of strength as bitin' bars of licorice in two an' liftin' chicken coops. He also doubles for the trained fleas. By cracky, I've got a .good one to tell you. You remember Tommy Kelly? Wal, his manly bearing, his absent-mindedness and his dainty feet have got him a position as a model in his father's department store. Paul Byrne is in the hospital now. He went to Spain to become a bull fighter an' come off the little end of the horn. Oaple White an' Dorothy Weil, 'The Silly Sisters,' have joined the Ziegfield Follies an' air right up on their toes. I reckon ye can recall Helen Davis. She's affiliated with Grandma's Cake and Cookie Company in an' advertisin' production entitled, 'Grandma Takes the Cake.' Vernon Fish has been placed in charge of the aquarium at Golden Gate Park, an' he's well fitted for the job. What's ever become of Vart Vartabedian, the champion salesman of the class? I interrupted once more. Vart's lived up to his reputation. He's made a fortune out of rimless hats. He contends that without the rims his hats will never be blown off by the wind. Yeh, an' there's Evelyn Parker. She's become one of them there social workers like Jane Addams. She lives in Baltimore where she has established a home for the indignant-I mean indigent, sailors. And Irma Belle Studley has never left the old home town. She's president of the local Ladies' Aid Society and recently conducted a campaign fer the Suppression of Pipe Smokin'! Reckon ye still kin remember Keith Hitchcock. I heard he was director of the Insane Asylum at Napa. He got the job through the merit system by startin' as a inmate. O, say, Garvin Estes is Californy's second Luther Bur- bank. He's developed a corrugated onion which is a strong favorite among the people. Frank Gill is now president of the Strongarm Dental Institute. I He's got more business in Paradise than any other man, but he's always looking down in the mouth. Is Oscar Harris still around home? I queried. Wall, no, I guess not. I-Ie went to Los Angeles to make a fortune out of his pies. He finally sold 'em all to the Douglas Shoe Company for leather. Allie Kesselring turned out to be a portly adventuress and sportswoman. lt's been reported that she's become fabulously rich, selling cosmetics to the African natives. By the way, Edward Terada has just opened a studio in New York. He's been in Paris dabblin' in the fine arts and the German baths. It's been rumored that Joe Zink will pose for his first painting as 'The Vagabond King.' Felix Eames an' Leigh Fairiield have gone through 'thick and thin' in vaudeville for the last twenty years. I'll bet you ain't forgot Helen Summers. Wal, she's one of them journalists fer the Youth's Companion. She's up in Alasky now to git the atmosphere fer a article on refrigeration. Do Jeff Garner and Fred Nottleman still go around together? I asked. -..gf 40 C Xl5l'l'l US e1'9 C4t A Yep. They're among the cream of their community now. They're big cheese manufacturers at Dairyville an' still show their loyalty to the old high school by offering a silver-mounted cheese each year to the winner of the public speaking contest. I wonder if Lee Turner has graduated yet, I asked Zeb. He'd already been there ten years when I left. Wal, I was comin' to that. Lee's goin' to graduate this year in spite of old age. Mrs. Stamper'll weep when he leaves 'cause he seems almost like school property. You know Doris Mackey's the dramatics teacher at the old high school now. I've heard that her dramatic ability cain't be beat for she always prac- tices what she screeches. It does beat all but Phoebe Jane Sallee's an aesthetic dancer in Palm Beach, Pennsylvania. She dances in Madame Blimp's Conservatory of Inter- pretive Contortions. Recollect that there Luther Stone? He was the lad as spoke at that Shakespearean affair 'way back in them ol' days of 1927. Wal, that kid is now a famous oratory fellow. I see by the paper t'other day as how he gave a grand elaboration on 'The Intimate Life of No Notorious Men'. Say, Zeb, what happened to Virinda Brown? You know she was the one who went around with Bob Bevins in our day? I was very anxious to find out about all my old friends. Let me think, he said, as he scratched his head, Wal, that purty young thing air still the same, I reckon. I heared thet she divorced one o' them there big hog men from Walla Walla. You know as how she were always like that. What of Ruth Laughlin? She hasn't been side steppin', too? No, no, she was always a right sweet girl. But, fact is, I heared some- one tell something about her. 'Twas one of them high falutin' travelin' sales- men. You know as how they act. He said he'd seen her at one of them night clubs which air terrible, they tell me. What's happened to Irene Gray? I asked, my memory almost exhausted. Wal, the truth is, I don't know. The last I heared tell o' that girl she were in the African jungles a huntin' fer some queer kind o' monkey glands. Strange, hain't it? Julia Turner is a missionary among the Zulus in the Sandwich Islands. They have peacefully submitted to her iron rule-three yards long-and are receiving from her information on the latest dance steps. Wal, them's all the ones I've heared about, said Zeb, picking up his shovel. Their lives hev all turned out like a calico crazy quilt, an' there ain't but a few that hev become what they intended to be. But it's all for the best. So long. And Zeb climbed the hill toward the sunset, leaving me to dwell with interest on the fate of my former classmsates. --Eldred Self. 4 I THE AMERICAN LEGION AVJARDS HE GRADUATING CLASS of Chico High School of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-eight has been granted an honor unprecedented in the history of the school. The Chico Post of the American Legion has seen fit to grant to two members of the class, a boy and a girl, two bronze medals to be presented on commencement morning. A faculty committee will select the students to receive these medals. The medals are three inches in diameter. One side of the disc bears the Legion insignia, above which rests the American eagle on a scroll bearing the inscription: American Legion School Award: courage, leadership, honor, service, scholarship. The reverse side of the medal shows the figures of a soldier and a sailor and the words: For God and country and Semper Fidelisf' The two graduates from the class of '28 who typify the enviable qualities necessary to be a medalist may well be proud. They have achieved in their high school career something of great and lasting value to themselves and to their school. The class of '28 is grateful that it is the first class to receive such an honor. It will always be grateful to the American Legion for making an award that will set a goal for higher endeavor on the part of Chico High School students. -Julia Turner. EOEOEOB' ONLY 38 HE CLASS OF '28 chose for their class play, Only 38, a rollicking comedy in three acts by A. E. Thomas. With Miss Gudmunsen and Miss Hopton as coaches this year's Senior play equalled any of the plays produced by former graduating classes. Jean Morony, who acted in the capacity of business manager, deserves much credit for his splendid work. The Stagecraft Club, under the direction of Miss Thoming, rendered invaluable service to the Seniors by taking care of the stage arrangements. The play was presented at the Senator Theatre on June 6. The plot of the play centered around a minister's widow who was only 38. When she attempted to manage her own affairs as any other woman of her age would do, her two children, Bob and Lucy, objected on the grounds that people would talk. Many amusing incidents occurred during the widoxgfs efforts to prove to her children that 38 is not old, as they believe it to e. The cast included: Mrs. Stanley, the minister's widow. Louise Butts: Bob and Lucy, her two children, Tom Kelly and Margaret Brouchoud: Professor Giddings, Larry Mery: Syd Johnson, an admirer of Lucy, Robert Compton: Mary Hadley, Winnie Breslauer: Mr. Sanborn, Mrs. Stanley's father, Lawrence Streeter. Minor parts were taken by Eleanor Crouch, Bertine Seiler, Morris Hendrix, and Paul Byrne. ...ggi 42 19... CADUCEUS 'EGG' I 0 JUNIOR HISTORY IT IS KNOWN by the Juniors as well as by the rest of the school, that this class would probably never have progressed and gained so much recognition had it not been for Misss Luella Hopton, the Junior class advisor. Successful candy sales were sponsored, and the Juniors received much praise when a dance, the Junior Frolic, given by them, proved to be a huge success. During the Caduceus campaign a stride forward was made by the class, through the wonderful salesmanship work of Pearl Miller. Even though the class as a whole did not win the highest honors, Pearl proved herself high point salesman, selling the largest number of Caduceus subscriptions. In athletics the class also had a good showing. During football season it was represented by Gilbert Venos, Lyle Marshall, Elvin Shepherd, Frank Skelly, Marcus Choisser, Clayton Rhoy, Angelo Milani, Paul Little, Mervyn Hensley, and William Eusebio. Basket ball season showed Paul Des Jardines and Howard Vanderly representatives from the Junior class. The Juniors on the track team were Wesley Hummel, Bob Sisk, Ennis Oldemeyer and Steven Bach. while those on the baseball team were Frank Skelly, Elvin Shepherd, Gilbert Venos, Arthur Wosney, Herbert Carlson, and Lyle Marshall.

In the carnival the Sophomores were represented in a vaudeville stunt called The Old Maid's Convention. At this convention all the old maids were responding with quotations showing their scorn of men, when suddenly there came a knock at the door and two professors entered. They had invented a box which could turn one into anything desired. The following numbers on the program showed what the wishes of the delegates were. We also were lirst in the selling of Caduceus and Art Exhibit tickets. In sports the Sophomores were well represented by both boys and girls. The two outstanding stars were Stella Long and Jimmie Keefer. We are proud of the intellectual attainments made by several members of our class, as we, through them, are represented in the Honor Society. Also the glee clubs, dramatics, Block C Club and both Hi Y clubs all have mem- bers from the Sophomore class. Miss Currie was the class advisor.

With true school spirit they selected their class song and yells, aided greatly by Miss Jones, advisor. Both boys and girls organized athletic teams and, although not victorious, upheld the honor Of the class. Another group of Freshmen came in the last day of January. They. too, adorned themselves-the boys in striped overalls and the girls with green ribbons. Again a Freshman reception was held and was well attended and enjoyed by the new comers. The class took part in the carnival by staging a fashion show as the main attraction, and as side entertainers, several freaks. A popcorn sale was conducted one noon. Later in the spring, the class enjoyed a weiner roast. Oflicers for the semesters were: BOB BEVINS. ccc. . cccc ..ccc L ccc.icc.

However, a few have left Chico and are studying at the Uni- versity of California, one or two at Stanford and one, Ralph Hensley, has gone as far as Illinois to study in a university there. Hasmick Vartabedian is attending the Southern Branch of the University of California where she is studying art. Bertha Wise, once student body president, is at Stanford Uni- versity. Some are married and others are working. The majority of 1925 and 1926 graduates are attending the Chico State Teachers College. Alumni are always welcome at Chico High, and Chico High is always glad to hear from them. A few lines written by some of the alumni are: My work here in the Southern Branch of U. C. is very interesting, but I miss Chico High School just the same. -Hasmick Vartabedian '27. A fool there was--and is. Maybe this is because I did not take advan- tage of my opportunities in high school. -Don Honodel. Graduate from Chico High is my motto. Then you're sure to obtain a good position. -Carol Tyler '26. I graduated from Chico High away back in '23, but am still very much interested in what goes on there. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for her, and I often get out my much treasured annuals to revive pleasant memories of my school years there. -Lucille Butts '23. I graduated in 1920. Anyone can see the marked improvement of the Caduceus since then. This year it is taking another step forward. -Marion Summers Davis '20. -Lesley Browning. -..gif 46 Eg..- GOLD NUGGETS S E P T E M B E R SEPTEMBER 12 The settlement gathers together again after a very successful summer.

It was for some the last but for others only the beginning. And, just as the miners of '49 have left the record of their patient search for gold engraved among the creek-beds of California's many streams-so we. in the course of time spent in school, have left our individual histories written on the pages of this annual. Whatever we make of our later life will be, to a certain extent, a pattern of what we have made of our school years. It is the wish of the staff that in the years to come when you turn the pages of this book, you will experience the joy of recalling all those events that went to make 1928 the best year ever. And now, the Staff of '28 presents this, the twenty-fifth edition of the Caduceus, to you, the faculty and Student Body of the Chico High School. Its work is finished, but the staff wishes to leave behind a message for its many friends: Faculty and Student Body-we extend to you our sincere appreciation and gratitude for that wonderful spirit of cooperation shown in putting over the carnival: in three little words, we thank you. The staff is also grateful for the way in which the various classes organized during the Caduceus Sales Campaign. May next year's staff receive the same support. ' -..ggi 5 2 Ep..- +3539 To the merchants and business men of Chico who contributed to the Boosters' Column, We tell the same old story but with a world of deeper feeling. To Mr. Staples who so generously gave of his most valuable time in making our group pictures, we extend a unanimous voice of thanks. To the Staff of '29 we leave our wish for every success and good luck in putting out a bigger and better annual next year. And, now it is time for the staff to say goodbye. All our campfires have burned low. We sit beside the flickering ashes of a vanished school year. May you regain from its friendly smoke pleasant memories of what once con- stituted a brilliant fire.

It was different from any campaign-ever staged in Chico High, in that the several classes of the school were organized into two groups, compet- ing with each other in an effort to sell many copies of the yearbook. The salesmen were appointed from each of the classes, each salesman to sell to members of his class and of the other class that was joined with his. In this way competition was gained and 506 copies were sold. The Freshmen and Juniors were combined and the Seniors and Sopho- mores. The salesmen for each class were as follows: Freshmen: Barbara Sillers, Holt Parsons, Dick Donohue, Robert Bevins, Evelyn Cooper, Barbara Bennett, Clifford Souza, Frank XVylde, Marguerite Kovelas, and Anzel Vanos. Sophomores: Harold Ohleyer, William Bey, Richard Schluer, Maxine Tracy, Irene Robinson, Austin Boblet, Altree Pretious, Ruby Krikac, Margaret Waters, and Stanley Baker. Juniors: Catherine Rodley, Bob Durham, Warren Musselman, Pearl Miller, Elvin Shepherd, Milton Schroeder, Lesley Browning, Betty Browning, Jo Hall, and Irvin Hensley. Seniors: Phyllis Keller, Alice Cummings, Gene Musselman, Morris Hendrix, Carl Payne, Eva Wright, Lucille Cooper, William Brown, Garvin Estes, and Irene Gray. The salesmen for the most part caught the spirit of the campaign and worked hard at noons to sell the annual. The contest lasted one week and at the end of that time it was found that the following students were high sales- men: Freshmen. Barbara Sillers, 16: Dick Donohue, 17. Sophomores, Irene Robinson. 28: Harold Ohleyer, 15. Juniors: Pearl Miller, 35: Elvin Shep- herd, 6. Seniors: Phyllis Keller, 22: Garvin Estes, 15. Pearl Miller, by virtue of her sale of 35 books, got one book with her name engraved on it free of charge. The Senior and Sophomore combination worked together the best and won the contest, selling 266 copies, the Freshman-Junior group selling 240. The contest was an unusual affair. Paul Little arranged for two huge thermometers to be hung on the wall opposite the office. Each one stood for two classes. Every morning the red mercury rose to a height proportional to the number of sales the previous day. In this way the students were posted every day as to how their class was getting on. The business manager stated: Those who took part in the contest worked hard. for the most part, although out of a possible 800 sales only some over 500 were realized. A dollar and a half is a very small sum for a book of this type. Almost anyone can procure this amount without much trouble. It is hoped that next year the students will respond quickly to the call for subscrip- tions for certainly they are all getting their money's worth. -Paul Little. -..ggi 55 By..- T LOUISE BUTTS WINNIE BRESLAUER ALICE CUMMINGS ELEANOR CROUCH First Semester WINNIE BRESLAUER IIII I RED AND GGLD EDITORIAL STAFF Edt'tor-,,,L,,--,.- Second Semester ,,,,-,,, ALICE CUMMINGS LUCILLE COOPER eee, .,.,e,,,.e,,.,e I Associate Editor ee,.... ,e.,,..,,eeee G ARVIN ESTES ELEANOR CROUCH ,eee,,.ee,eee... ,Exchange Editoriie .,.,, , LESLEY BROWNING MARGARET BROUCHOUD .,.....ee,A Social Editor ...... ,E .eei,.....i CATHERINE RODLEY TOM KELLY eT...,...,.o.o,.. . iiieo..

This was quite evident from the enthusiasm which prevailed every Wednesday afternoon throughout the last two semesters. We have been fortunate in having the sturdiest of pilots to bring the Red and Gold safely and triumphantly through its twelfth year of existence. It has been much to the advantage of the Red and Gold to have a dependable and well-trained crew. The students who served on the staff were chosen from the best material that the news writing classes had to offer. These students, under the able supervision of Miss Ovidia Gudmunsen, the instructor in jour- nalism, have turned out two creditable volumes. Several changes have been made in the column headings in order to improve the appearance of the sheet. These new drawings were made by Edward Terada. The popularity of the Red and Gold is proved by the wide range of ex- changes. Our paper receives exchanges from high schools and colleges in every corner of the United States. Much interest was aroused all through the year by the special editions, of which there were many. There was the football number, the eight page Christmas edition, and two publications one of which was edited entirely by the girls in the Red and Gold class and the other was edited by the boys. Near the close of the spring semester the beginning students in news writing published the Cub edition. Good work has been done by this group and conditions point favorably toward another year in which the Red and Gold may shine forth in all its glory. Chico High was represented at the California Scholastic Press Association meeting by Winnie Breslauer and Louise Butts. This meeting was held at Stanford University, October 28 and 29, at which prominent journalists dis- cussed various problems that confront students in newspaper work. In the contest for best newspapers the Red and Gold received the certificate of third award in class B. April 12, 13, and 14, Alice Cummings and Eleanor Crouch attended the journalists' convention sponsored by the Sigma Delta Chi fraternity at the University of California. Both girls gained a great deal from the convention, and they hope that next year's editor and business manager will be able to attend a similar meet. -Garvin Estes. 53 ig... CADUCEUS 520640 ' H 4. .......,, .--H STUDENT BODY CARNIVAL VERYONE took part in the Carnival last April, and that is why it was such a great success. All who worked enjoyed themselves, feeling sorry when it had passed. But we may have another next year and our fun will be repeated. The Carnival was held April 13 and 14 for the purpose of raising funds for this year's annual. All money not used by the Caduceus was used to frame pictures for our school and aid the Scholarship Fund. The great crowds that gathered to enjoy the event were especially attracted by the decorations. The halls were bordered with pictures of large birds and bright colored trees. The many colored lights gave the place the atmosphere of Fairyland, but the noise of horns and whistles and the bursting of balloons told us that we were in a building transformed from a school to a place of merrymaking. Each booth was cleverly adorned to illustrate its theme. The many different nations represented led one around the world to all the far-off lands. Louise Butts was crowned Queen of the Carnival the first night of the festivities. Gorgeously gowned in a robe of pink satin, Queen Louise took her place on the throne of gold and ruled her subjects. Those in the court were: Margaret Brouchoud, lady-in-waiting: Elsie Faulkner, Irene Taber, Catherine Rodley, Opal White, and Betty and Lesley Browning, attendants: Mary Jane Conery, train bearer: William Brown, master of ceremonies: Robert Bevins, bugler: Lawrence Scott, Robert Adams, and Ross, Crippen, pages: Lillian Leslie and Della Owen, flower girls: Udell Combs and Donald Pierce, court jesters. After viewing the coronation ceremony and all the wondrous display of outside scenery, one was drawn into each booth to see what it held for him. The Block C trip to Hades was enjoyed by all. Weird sounds and scenes greeted the visitors as they entered. In all the world are there such wonders as were shown in the Aggie's concession? With the novelty chicks and man- eating crocodiles it was very educational. An interesting group of early Cali- fornia relics was displayed by the Quill and Scroll and Caduceus staff. Everywhere the people were confronted by food vendors. Candy maidens, and peanut and popcorn boys besieged the crowds. Hot dogs, ice cream, soda water, and other refreshments were available anywhere. Many organizations and classes presented shows. A musical comedy, Which to Choose, sponsored by the dramatics class, was a big attraction. Jo Hall and Gordon Clark were the stars. The boys' cooking class put on a minstrel show that was well received. Khyber, the magician, entertained a large audience with some clever sleight of hand tricks. In the Cave of the Fallen Angels a short vaudeville was presented by the Stagecraft people. Senior boys and girls forgot their dignity, and taught the visitors that they are not always studious. A hulu-hulu dancer, ballet, and a strong man were the chief attractions. Robert Jordan played havoc with the Old Maid's Conven- tion staged by the Sophomores. The mighty Freshmen contributed to the fun by conducting a fashion show of great worth to all who saw it. Mr. Power as ringmaster displayed a group of well trained animals in the circus as well as some acrobats, clowns, and a famous tight-rope walker. This booth was under the direction of the Girls' Student League. If one was hungry or thirsty, he did not have to search far. The cabarets remained in full swing while girls entertained with clever dances. The Spanish ' -t--ef 59 we-- j Q XDL'ifil'L'fi 1 0 1 8 Dons and Senoritas conducted a Tamale Parlor beneath trellises of beautiful flowers. The Honor Society served French foods while the national colors floated high in the air. Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, was the password to the Pirates' Den where green bottles were the holders of candles. Demure Japanese ladies presided in the Tea Garden. Petite Hi Y girls dressed in Dutch costumes sold pies and cakes to all: the boys were their chief customers. The part-time students conducted a peanut and popcorn stand. While watching ourselves on the silver screen in the Kodak Club conces- sion, we realized just how we looked to others. The Fish Pond proved to be one of the most profitable booths. The sewing classes were responsible for its success. Late in the evening everyone went to the gym, where a jitney dance was held. The success of this event was due to the fine cooperation of all the students and the faculty members. The carnival committee, headed by Paul Little, business manager of the Caduceus. started making its plans several months in advance. Each member of the committee was given some special work to do. A teacher was appointed to act as advisor. With this expert planning and working the students were able to do their work in an excellent manner. Every organization and department in the school contributed to the festival. The carpentry classes built the booths, and the sewing classes made costumes. Candy and foods were made by the cooking classes while the art department aided in the decorating. The band helped a great deal with the advertising. Paul Little, general chairman in putting over the Carnival, was backed by a large committee of students and faculty members. Mr. Brown was general chairman from the faculty, Catherine Rodley and Miss Thoming were in charge of all decorating. Janet Sillers, aided by Miss Hopton, superintended the buy- ing and selling of food and drinks. Miss Stansbury and Miss Gudmunsen assisted by Maxine Tracy and Alvin Korn supervised the publicity work. Cos- tuming and other sewing was arranged for by Mrs. Walker. Margaret Waters was in charge of dramatics with Miss Farnsworth. Miss Andersen and Helen Davis headed the music committee. Mr. Schreiter was in charge of carpentry work such as constructing booths. Others on the committee were Bernie Thompson, Lester Turner, and Frank Gill. As the Carnival was such a success this year, it is certain that one will be held each year to support the Caduceus. But, Chico High has profited by her mistakes and misfortunes. Hereafter great precaution will be taken to eliminate all carelessness that raises expenses. Budgets will be made out more conserva- tively. And, too, we will not need to buy as much material as we already have a great deal left over. ln this way our profits will be greater and the money will aid movements other than the Caduceus. All students who helped to make the festival a success should be given many thanks. Their efforts were well spent. A large fund was raised for a worthy cause. All those who attended our Carnival will return and bring their friends next year to enjoy a similar one. -Lucille Cooper. -..-cgi 60 Ep..- CADUCEUS +Ef61f3+ K XlDUCQliUS 'EOCK' DRAMATICS IONEERING always makes fascinating reading. Few in Chico High realize that we can be classed as pioneers in the Little Theatre Movement. Miss Florence Lutz of the University of California said, that the little theatre is a tributary of the commercial theatre. There is so much interest in the Little Theatre Movement that soon everyone will be engaged in acting or directing. Who can foretell what famous actor or director will have received his inspiration from the Little Theatre of the Chico High School? Under the efiicient guidance of Miss Alice Farnsworth, the students not only take part in plays, but also select and direct them. The stage setting and costuming as worked out so successfully in Miss Thoming's Stagecraft classes are other features of the pioneering, and have created added interest in the plays. LIMA BEANS The first play presented was Lima Beans. Of this the Chico Record said: The enthusiastic reception accorded the one-act fantasy, 'Lima Beans,' presented by Chico High School in the Municipal Auditorium in Sacramento during the recent institute there has resulted in plans being made for a second presentation at the high school soon. Coached by Miss Alice Farnsworth, the play in which Miss Margaret Waters was the little wife of two weeks lovingly planning her husbands dinner: Leigh Fairfield, the huckster who sold her the beans, and Harold Ohleyer, the husband, was described by many who saw it in Sacramento as 'a little gemf With its artistic settings, and clever costuming in light green and bright blue, the play was accorded much praise by the huge audience. THE FOLLIES After seeing the Follies, a diversified program of comedy, pantomime and dancing given by the dramatics class, the audience was again impressed with the rare opportunities our high pupils have for developing their dramatic talents. The Follies were presented in the school auditorium on February 17 to a fair sized audience. An admission of twenty-five cents was charged in order to raise funds for stage property and equipment. Miss Farnsworth coached the students in the playswhile Miss Thoming had charge of the stage equipment. The evening was a decided success, and it is hoped that Chico High may have another Hdramatics night in the future. A Russian dance in full Russian costume was pleasingly done by Josephine Hall and Zelma Rice. Tom Kelly and Vera Forward presented a one-act play. The Newlywed Biscuit. The comical Woo Joos with Carl Payne, Josephine Hall, Donna Peg- den, Tom Kelly, Garret Burt, Ruby Krikac, Willie Moyers, Lowell Brooke, and Charles Dugan, kept the audience in a gay mood. Joint Owners in Spain as portrayed by Ruby Krikac, Willie Moyers. Antoinette Choisser, and Vera Forward, showed old and young alike, the ridiculousness of quarreling, and the joy in forgiveness and happiness. 52 lf! S '9f53?3' THE OTHER WISE MAN Fortunate are the people who allow themselves a few hours during the Christmas season to be transported 2,000 years, to the scenes which have created the beautiful Christmas spirit. This was made possible by the presen- tation of the Christmas poem, The Other Wise Man, by Henry Van Dyke. The curtains raise, showing a room of Artaban's house. Artaban is looking out over the desert thinking about the coming of the Christ Child and his jour- ney to take gifts to the new born. While he is musing his father and a friend come in. Artaban tells them he has seen the sign of the fish, which means that a new prophet is to be born. These two try to persuade him not to take the journey but he goes regardless of their warning. Artaban is delayed on his journey while aiding a sick man. To him he gives herbs, water and a ruby. In return the man tells him that he shall find the Christ Child at Bethlehem. The Magi meanwhile continue their journey with- out Artaban. Artaban gives his sapphire in exchange for a string of camels to cross the desert. Still going on, Artaban meets a slave girl and gives his last jewel, the pearl, to secure her liberty. Artaban finally dies before his destination is reached, but before he dies, a voice speaks to him: Inasmuch as thou hast done it unto one of the least of these my brethren: thou hast done it unto me. The stage setting and details of the color effect added to the careful presen- tation of the Biblical characters by the actors. The play was put over in a manner that made the audience catch the true spirit of this Christmas poem. as dramatized by the dramatics teacher, Miss Alice Farnsworth.

More interest has been shown in the different organiza- tions. Mr. Brown has introduced community singing at the weekly assemblies. Occasionally the glee clubs, band, or orchestra have appeared. From time to time outside talent has been brought to Chico High. Now, after this brief review of music as a whole. let us consider the organizations separately. THE GLEE CLUBS Among the most active of the musical organizations of Chico High School are the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs. These clubs have one hundred members. The boys and girls meet three mornings each week, two days separately and one day as a mixed chorus. In October the Girls' Glee Club made its first appearance of the year. They sang at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium during Institute Week. Their program consisted of What the Chimney Sang CGriswold5, last year's contest piece: Where My Caravan Has Rested CLohr5, and Slumber Boat CGaynerJ. These numbers were well received. The Girls' Glee Club has made other appearances this year. They have sung for the student body several times. Soon after the beginning of the spring semester the girls began work on the contest piece, The Wind CSprossJ. They worked faithfully, and under Miss Andersen's careful supervision they have done well. The Girls' Glee Club won second place at the music festival, which was held May 4 at Willows. Although the Boys' Glee Club has not made as many public appearances as the girls' organization, it has made, remarkable progress. In class they have practiced difficult songs. The first semester the club was not well balanced: there were too few tenors. This situation was caused by a conflict between band and glee club classes, but this spring an arrangement was made so that the boys might take both band and glee. The result was a much better balanced club. The boys' contest number was Song of the Road fProtheroel. The boys started work on this piece early in the spring. They have done remark- ably well. The club won second place at the annual festival this year. THE ORCHESTRA ' Chico High School has an orchestra of which she may well be proud. At the beginning of the year it contained too many brass instruments, but in January this section was reduced so that the orchestra became well balanced. The orchestra has played an altogether different type of music from that which has been played by orchestras in previous years. The pieces mentioned are Prince of Pilsen, The Fortune Teller, Naughty Marietta, Yankee Counsel, Burgomaster, Erminie, and others. Lustspiel CKeler Belaj was the contest piece for the orchestra this year. The orchestra started work on their contest piece early in January. They took fourth place in the contest. 66 +3679 Nzlliilx THE BAND The band has appeared before a number of audiences. They have appeared before the student body several times and also before outside audiences. This year our band has practiced both the class A and class B contest pieces. Finlandi CSibeliusj, a tone poem, is the class A number: Queen of the Night from the Babylon Suite CEliej is the class B number. Chico usually enters the class B contest. They won fourth place at the music festival. MUSIC CLASSES Although we may not hear much about them. there are classes in harmony. music appreciation. and the boys' and girls' choruses. In the boys' and girls' choruses the students are taught to sing, and also are prepared for the music examination at the Teachers College. In the harmony class high school harmony, which leads directly to college harmony, is taught. The members of this class have learned the principles of correct harmonization and have also composed little pieces of their own. Last fall the music appreciation class studied the outstanding compositions of the nations. This spring they have studied the history of music. THE MIXED CHORUS The mixed chorus, which was composed of both glee clubs, met once each week. This year much interest was shown in this work. Often the chorus prepared the songs for the community singing during assembly periods. The iirst real appearance of the chorus was at the Art Exhibit, which was held in January. They sang Neapolitan Nights fzamecnikb and Boosting Our Old High School. Both numbers were well received. SPECIAL ORGANIZATIONS ' For special occasions trios and quartets chosen from the members of the glee clubs were formed. One of the lirst special organizations to be organized this year was the Girls' Double Quartet. The quartet was formed early last fall. The girls sang many places. Among their audiences may be counted the Art Club, Lions Club, University Women's Club, Parent Teachers' Association, and Broadway Theatre. In December fourteen girls were chosen from the glee club to make up the angel chorus in The Other Wise Man, written by Van Dyke, and drama- tized by Miss Alice Farnsworth. The scene in which the angel chorus appeared is said to have been one of the most beautiful scenes in the whole play. A Junior Girls' Double Quartet was formed in January to sing in the junior program for the Parent Teachers' Association. In February the Hi Y Clubs sponsored a moving picture, The Student Prince, at the National Theatre. It is customary for the sponsors to provide part of the program: so a double trio of Hi Y girls was formed for that pur- pose. The girls sang a selection from the musical comedy, The Student rmce. There is also a Boys' Double Quartet which has been active this year. This quartet made its first appearance at the National in January, when the Seniors sponsored a show. The boys also appeared at the Block C show in March. -..gi 68 E..- v . . K , +5695 WORTH HOAR'S CONCERT ORCHESTRA Although Worth Hoar's Concert Orchestra is an outside organization, it is of interest to us because it is composed mostly of high school students. This orchestra has been very much in demand. It has appeared before many audi- ences. The organization plays mostly classical music. Much comment has been made on their ability to perform. 5030503 A LITTLE MORE MUSIC CRITICISM of our American schools is that too little music is taught. It has been suggested that one of the charms of many foreign countries is music. Music is taught the children when they are very young. Everywhere you go in Italy you find children singing and whistling strains from opera and of other famous compositions. What a contrast is our United States! While our young people are learning Yes, We Have No Bananas, or It Ain't Gonna Rain No More, or no music at all, Europe is teaching her children Il Trova- tore, or Lucia de Lammemoorf' Can we afford to allow foreign nations to surpass our own in the oldest of arts? Are we going to continue to send our boys and girls to Europe to learn music? Yes, we have some music teachers here, but it seems the best ones live in Europe. So something must be done. We can encourage more concerts in the smaller towns, more good music over radio, and many, many other things. But what about our schools? We can remedy that, too. In the first place we should see that more music is taught, more real music. It is all very well to sing or play little songs about the rain, the brooklet, or the sunshine. But why waste time on that? Why not sing or play something more worthwhile? Yes, opera music is difficult. It is not always necessary to be able to sing or play, for it is utterly impossible for some to sing or play, but every- one can at least learn to recognize good music. Also we might give more free individual instruction, instrumental and vocal. In many cases money determines whether a child will learn music or not. In some schools free music lessons are given, but very few schools do this for their boys and girls. Chico does it to some extent. Why not more? Then we should have a certain amount of compulsory music. When music is not compulsory it is only a few who will study it. And we want everyone to know music. Yes. our colleges do require a certain amount of music for gradua- tion, but it is usually a very small amount. However, many of our boys and girls never reach college. Must we not look out for them? So, it seems that the only solution to America's music problem is to teach more music in her public schools. -Irma Belle Studley. -..Et 70 ig..- I 'TT F' C PART TIME . HE OBJECT of the Part-Time Department is to fit the boy or girl for his or her job. The subjects taught are mostly vocational subjects such as typing, shorthand, and vocational English. The students receive individual instruction from Mrs. Kelly, who often has ten or Hfteen students studying different things, yet she finds time to care for them all. The general impression is that part-time students attend because of com- pulsory educational laws, but it is decidedly wrong. Many of the students are those who earnestly desire to better themselves that they may be better fit for their jobs. A student who has not graduated from grammar school may take part time and graduate from the high school. In this way students who have not had the chances when young to go to grammar school may get their high school education and diploma. The Part-Time Department this year put out a part-time paper which it sold for fifteen cents. The paper was well received throughout the school and was established as the Part-Time Annual of the Chico High School. Supervised by Mrs. Kelly the following students put out the Part-Time annual: Editor, Lillian Beers: assistant editors, Melvin Young and Veda Rush- ton: jokes, Wayne Bolton and Henry Boggs: typists, Veda Rushton and Anna Mae Arnold: reporters, Tressa Harris and Thelma Pfeiffer. The symbol of the issue was the oak tree. It contained items of interest about the Chico school and was sent to several other part-time schools of the state. 2030503 NIGHT SCHOOL IGHT SCHOOL this year has proved a greater success than ever. At present there are about three hundred enrolled. These people represent every walk of life, and every age: people who realize that they can better themselves by gaining knowledge of fundamental principles. The subjects offered this year have been carefully chosen that the students may take the courses best adapted to their needs. They are: Bookkeeping and commercial arithmetic by Mr. Kissling, typing and shorthand by Mrs. Bentley, millinery and sewing by Mrs. Walker, mechanical drawing by Mr. Atkinson, a one-year course in automotive engineering by Mr. Dahlman, English for foreigners and Americanization by Principal Brown: dairyman. a short unit course, and poultry science were taught by Mr. McCollom. One very popular class was the one taught by Miss Isa Reed in the after- noon at the State Teachers College. It is the study of physical and mental development of children. Classes are started when there are ten students who signify their intention of taking any special subject. The attendance of the night school has been very good, especially in the typing and shorthand and engineering classes where practical development could be seen. -Clinton Summers. -..ggi 7 1 Hp... VOCATIGNAL DEPARTMENT HE VOCATIONAL Departments in the Chico High School have been increasing in size and importance each year until now the time has come for them to be recognized as one of the leading factors of the school. AGRICULTURE CLASS The agriculture class is growing in popularity. Each year a larger number of students are realizing the importance of an agriculture course and the many opportunities in agricultural fields in this district. The class has also made a number of very interesting Held trips this year. These are made to places Where industries pertaining to agriculture may be stud'ed. Some of the outstanding trips made include visits to the United States Rice Experiment Station at Biggs, Chico Meat Company slaughter house, the Hamilton City cotton gin, a field study of prune die-back, and a trip to the University Farm at Davis. Perhaps the best field trip of the numerous ones taken, was the trip to Davis Farm. Here a whole day was spent in visiting the many departments of the Farm School. Judging teams composed of members of both classes went to the semi- finals of the state judging contest at Marysville in April where they won three cups, and to the Davis contest the same month, competing with the many other high schools of the northern part of the state for honors in judging. One cup was won by the Freshman team. -Vernon Fish. -...,5f 72 Eh.- SHOP The boys that take shop form a separate school department of their own. They are out in their buildings most of the time and, consequently, are not seen much in the halls. But they form a very important faction of our school: in fact, we would hardly know what to do without them. At the time of the Carnival. they were the ones who did the so-called dirty work, such as fixing the booths and helping the various classes and organizations make their contri- bution a success. Then too, they repair cars free of charge. They are glad to get the experience. Whenever the busses need going over they are sent out to the shop. So you see just how important this division of the school is. There are two separate divisions of the shop. In the morning the students are taught by the Smith-Hughes Vocational course, which is the main course in shop work: while in the afternoon a pre-vocational course is given, mostly to the students who are not able to take shop in the morning, and to prepare others for taking the morning course. Within the last year there have been some improvements in the shop. Formerly the shop people had to share their building with the farm mechanics. Now the farm mechanics class has its own building and the shop workers work by themselves, which insures them a greater freedom for carrying on their work. Two important additions have also been made. An electrical test bench. which is probably the most useful thing the shop has, was installed the first of the term: and a large twenty-ton press has just been installed. These additions were very necessary as the amount of work to be done is increasing each year. -eil 73 E+-- CARPENTRY CLASS The carpentry class this year is much larger than the class of last year, and the amount of work done has been a great deal more than that done by the previous class. Last year there were only four regular students enrolled: while this year the total enrollment of regular students is sixteen. The students are taught by the Smith-Hughes vocational course, first doing odd-jobs about houses and working up until they are able to build an up-to-date house by themselves. Although this class did little building work last year, they have already built a shop for the farm mechanics this year and are almost through building a house, which will be completed before the end of the semester. --Robert Compton. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The commercial department is divided into three main divisions: Typing. shorthand, and bookkeeping. Students entering these classes soon find that work is plentiful, and that there are definite goals to be reached. In the typing department the students are taught to operate at least two of the four types of machines. Accuracy is the first consideration, and to this end the students are taught the keyboard. Speed is the second essential. Five- minute speed tests are given daily and fifteen-minute tests on Thursday. Pins and other rewards are given to those who attain high rates of speed in these tests. In 1924 a silver cup was presented to the typing department by the Peoples Savings and Commercial Bank. Each year a contest is held to deter- mine who writes at the highest rate of speed. The name of the winner, together with the year and his speed are engraved on the cup. The names now appear- ing there are: Trillis Tovee, l924: Gertrude Pierce, l925: Alda Rouse, 1926: and Mabel Hall, 1927. Besides the regular class work, the typing department does a great deal of outside work. All work for the Caduceus and some for the Red and Gold is done by students in these classes. The department also does work for other teachers and for the office. In the shorthand course the principles of Gregg shorthand are mastered the first year. In the second year, the attainment of speed in shorthand writing and the transcription on the typewriter of actual business letters and articles -..ggi 74 R+..- ,l,,,.i,,,-,,,,,C. . ' .fi-of ip? CADUCEUS -'BOCES' dictated at varying rates of speed, occupy the major portion of the first semester. During the second semester the time is spent in the study of oflice practice, with special emphasis on filing. The training given in the stenographic department fits students to go directly into positions in the business world without additional preparation. The list is long of graduates from this department who are now holding positions. Bookkeeping is all that the name implies. Of course, the department does not hone to turn out experts in one year, but the students receive the general principles. They learn to keep books by acting as bookkeepers for several mythical firms. They are trained to make out all necessary papers for con- ducting the business and learn to operate the adding machine, recently placed in the department. Besides keeping books, they make out all necessary papers for conducting the business of their firm. They are familiarized with such business forms as are in general use, such training being of service whether they intend to become bookkeepers or not. The students are also taught how to work the adding machine. This is a new addition to the commercial department which has recently proved to be of great value. The Red and Gold or Caduceus staff people, whenever they want to check a bill, generally go up to the adding machine used by these classes. They are always given generous use of whatever they need. Such cooperation is, to a great extent, responsible for the smooth running of our various school classes. When the student has completed the course offered by the Commercial Department, he has the tools with which to carve a place for himself in the business world. -Margaret Freeman. 5030505 HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT HOME MAKING The aim of the Home Economics Department of Chico High School is to develop the ability to recognize the problems of everyday life both in the home and the community: to develop a scientilic attitude toward the selection, pur- chasing, and care of the food and clothing: to develop the ability to choose wisely. to buy sanely. and to plan economically. The experience and training gained through the serving of banquets to different local organizations prove very valuable to both girls and boys. The Schoolmasters' Banquet of April 4, 1928, was prepared and served entirely by the boys. The cafeteria, which has proved a great benefit to many students, was made possible through the cooperation of the home making classes. Each class helped to a certain extent, boys as well as girls. The picture of Mt. Shasta presented to the Student Body of Chico High School by the Home Economics Department is a gift that everyone will enjoy and appreciate. -Doris Mackey. -..H 75 Ep..- IOZ8 BOYS' COOKING CLASS A boys' cooking class made its initial appearance at the high school during the second semester. Through the cooperation of Miss Hopton, the class was formulated, with an enrollment of 25 boys. The boys took a keen interest in this course and a number were disappointed in that they were unable to get into the class. The seventh period is devoted to the culinary art for the masculine dish- washers and the echo of pots and pans can be heard throughout the upper halls. All the recipes that the girls make are included in the daily lessons for the boys. A number of the stronger sex have tested the recipes at home and all the families are still healthy so the results seem to be gratifying. There is only one catch to the course, that of having to eat everything that is cooked. That is one of the easiest things to do away with, as there is usually a steady string of the feminine gentry at the door after school waiting to sample the delicacies prepared by the boys. The graduates of the cooking course should be great helps to their parents when they grow up. -Tom Kelly. 1350505 SEWING EWING seemed to be quite popular among the girls this year. There were eventy-five girls taking this work. Besides these, Mrs. Walker taught twenty-live Smith-I-Iughes women in the afternoon. In September the beginning classes made, as their first problem, appliqued pillows. Each girl was required to make at least six garments during the semester. At Christmas time they made Christmas presents. They also made bouttonnieres of wax and felt which they sold at the Christmas Bazaar. During the spring term, each person made either a piece of tapestry or a quilted pillow as extra work. Tapestry is very valuable and costly when finished. The designs on these pieces of tapestry were copied from expensive pieces. Some of them were made into pillows: the others were mounted on footstools. Quite a number of quilted pillows were made. For the carnival, which was held in April, this department contributed articles for a fishpond. The sewing classes contributed some Housewife Articles to the State Fair this fall. The girls in their spare time made an appliqued quilt. Mrs. Walker kept this work for girls who came to class without work. The Beauty Sheen pattern was used, the background being of white and the flower part of two shades of pink, while the leaves were green. Not only did the girls make the quilt top, but they also quilted it. The girls found this a very interesting work. Besides the quilt, some of the best work done by the individuals will also be sent. Some of the appliqued pillows made last fall, and the quilted pillows and tapestry work done this semester will be sent. Some of the most original purses made at Christmas time will be included. Among the things learned during this year were cutting, fitting, tailoring, placing of patterns, and many kinds of stitches. I Many articles of both beauty and practical importance were made in these classes. -Elua Lowry. . -..ggi By... f fiiii Fc'fi?ifisi i A i A Q CONCLUSION As a result of several months of hard work and under excellent training by their respective teachers, the students of the Boys' Cooking Class, and the students of the Agriculture Class proved their worth to the school by their ability to win prizes and cups from the strongest competition. Competing with more than a hundred Chico housewives the Boys' Cook- ing Class was highly honored by having William Harris win first prize in a cake baking contest: while the members of the Agriculture Class, against the stiff competition of schools from all northern California, won four beautiful cups. --Roberl Complon. , , Us i i l l l SOCIALS HE SOCIAI, ACTIVITIES of the year l928 have been very successful. The students are to be congratulated on their splendid cooperation with the various organizations who have sponsored dances and other types of amuse- ments. The four classes, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior, have all done a part toward contributing their share of the socials in the life of the school term. Also the Block the Girls' Athletic Association, and other organizations were quite active socially. Taking all in all, we have had a very pleasant year in Chico High. FRESHMAN RECEPTION On the evening of October 7, l927, the Student Body entertained the Freshman Class of l93l at a charming reception held in the gym. The evening's entertainment opened at 8:00 P.

Everyone was in a gay, holiday mood which was much in keeping with the red lights and hollyberries which decorated the room. JUNIOR FROLIC Friday evening, January 20, 1928, the Junior class of Chico High was host to the rest of the school, to the alumni and to the outside friends of the students, at a lovely dance held in the assembly.

Don Honodel's orchestra furnished the music. FRESHMAN RECEPTION On Friday evening, February 24, 1928, the Freshman class was officially welcomed into the student body by means of a dance and program held in the gym.

STUDENT CONTROL BANQUET For the first time oflicers of the student body, members of the executive board, and control committee and ofiicers of other important organizations were able to meet together to discuss school problems. A banquet was held at De Lacy's Golden Poppy, February 28. About thirty-live people were present. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss student control and develop a plan of progress. Several interesting talks were given by students and faculty members. ----if 79 ii-- 1928 HI J INKS Hi Jinks, the girls' annual costume party, sponsored by the Girls' Student League, was held in the main halls on Friday, January 13.

Norma Boucher received the prize for the most beautiful, Hazel Sweitzer the most original, Allie Kesselring the funniest. - After the dancing, refreshments consisting of hot dogs, cookies and choco- late were served in the school cafeteria. -Marjorie Jordan. BOYS' JAZZ PARTY On Friday evening, January 27, 1928, the high school gym was the scene of one of the biggest and best jazz parties ever held in the history of Chico High. ' The evening was spent in the participating of boxing matches in which most of the leading boxers of the school were starred. Among the novelty acts were: First, a clever imitation of the famous Dempsey-Sharkey fight put on by Jewel Waterman and Irvin Hensley: and second, Tom Kelly and Ciene Musselman gave a humorous exhibition of the well-known seventh round of the Dempsey-Tunney light. One of the most interesting events of the program was a fencing bout put on by two Japanese students of the school. The main event of the evening was the battle between Ed Wickman and Marcus Choisser. The free-for-alls came next, after which the preliminary bouts were then staged. -Gene Musselman. GIRLS' BASKET BALL BANQUET On Friday evening, March 9, 1928, the Block C Society honored the girls' basket ball team with a banquet and a dance.

The food for the banquet was prepared and served by the boys' cooking class under the direction of Miss Luella Hopton. The waiters were Carl Payne, Bernie Thompson, Lee Turner, Harry Sitton, and Lem Tull. The music was furnished by a phonograph from the Kessel- ring music store.

Several members of the faculty put on a very clever skit which was well received. Mr. Power, as an opera director, and Miss Currie, Mr. Rinker, Miss Jones, and Mr. Lundeen as opera singers proved themselves clever dramatists. BLOCK C DANCE On Friday evening, April 27, 1928, the Block C was host to the rest of the school and to the alumni at a lovely dance held in the gym. Decora- tions in red and gold carried out very effectively the school colors. SENIOR CUT DAY This year instead of having Senior Freak Day, as has heretofore been the custom, the graduating Seniors had a grand picnic at Princess Mine on Friday, May ll, 1928. Having kept their cut day a secret. they succeeded in unpleasantly surprising the rest of the school by their absence. Everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion and had a good time. This year's cut day revived an old school tradition. PICNICS Perhaps never before have club, class and department picnics been more popular than this year. Even before the Senior Cut Day, which was an all day affair the Stagecraft group and Kodak Club had pleasant outings. Miss Hop- ton's four cooking classes had a splendid feed and outing at the Hooker Oak swimming pool where the most important accomplishment was the disposal of nearly eighteen gallons of ice cream. The Freshman class picnicked, as did the Spanish Club. Instead of its customary banquet the Red and Gold staffs and the news writing class enjoyed a swim and breakfast, Saturday, May 26. The Parent Teachers' Association honored the Seniors and faculty with a picnic June 1. SENIOR GIRLS' TEA On Saturday, June 9, the annual tea in honor of the Senior girls was arranged by the Girls' Student League. This is usually a lovely affair much appreciated by the Seniors. SENIOR FAREWELL Every year the Junior class honors the graduating Seniors with a lovely farewell dance held on the evening of graduation. This dance is the last and biggest social affair of the season. This year the dance was a huge success and everyone succeeded in making the Senior Class of '28 feel very sad at the thought of having to leave forever dear old Chico High. -Margaret Brouchoud. -..ggi 82 Hg..- ADUCIEUS E055 l 9 Z 8 EXCHANGE THE TOKMY' Lodi Union High School, Lodi.

CADUCEUS GB-'Gr THE SEA MONSTER HIS INCIDENT, that happened on the magnificent beach at Live Oak, took place last summer while my friend, John Harrison, and I were strolling beside the vast expanse of moonlit water that glistened like an endless sea of quicksilver. As we were thus strolling my friend suddenly exclaimed, Oh! what a delightful evening for a dip. Vlhat do you say we take one? Not being in the swimming mood I gave my friend a negative answer. Asking me to watch his clothes, John sped like an arrow for the first white capped breaker that was coming in. With arms outstretched and head down he dived through it and reappeared, as if by magic, on the other side. Then, with a powerful overhand stroke, he set out to conquer the next mass of surging water. The moon overhead sent down its golden beams to the glistening water, as John worked his way through endless billows. He was about twenty yards off the beach, when, through the peaceful quiet of the summer evening, we heard a deafening and hideous noise. This horrible sound resembled closely the combined efforts of an African lion and a steam siren. ' Two green eyes suddenly appeared in the water about thirty yards to the seaward of John. My friend seeing this terrible sight, turned and made a dash for shore. I, on the beach, ran to and fro in an attempt to find something with which to aid my friend. My attention was soon arrested by the sound of tramping hoofs which proved to be a band of sheep which had been stampeded by the bellowing of the sea monster. The band came by me on the dead run and headed for the open country. I then set out after the band and with superhuman speed came within tackling distance of the last sheep. With a mighty effort I succeeded in catching it by the hind legs. I then put it across my shoulder and sped for the beach. When I reached the water I waded in as far as could be dared and threw the sheep into the open mouth of the monster which had all but overtaken John. The monster upon receiving the sheep, stopped for a moment to eat it. This hesitation was just long enough for John and me to scramble to safety. Whew! gasped John, never again will I go swimming in that ocean. He kept his word, for to my knowledge he never has. --Arthur Clements. ing -..gf gg CAUUCFUS I O 2 9 MY PETALED CARPET I dreamed of the Queen of Syria: She was rich and proud and fair: She had money to tread on velvet fine And wear an orchid in her hair: She walked on a rose leaf carpet too, To keep the dust from her dainty shoe.

The air was balmy and the sun beamed motherly watchfulness over a garden wall. A little old woman bent among the luxuriant excess of blossoms, pulling a weed here, or stopping to fondle a fragile lily. The sunglow stole coyly through her withered cheeks and she sang a lullaby as she worked. Her hair was like a fleecy cloud and fell around her cheeks in tiny ringlets. Her eyes were as soft and loving as any could be. Her neighbors all said she was the dearest little old lady ever. I must hurry now, and let no more idle time go by. The children will be here soon, mused The Little Old Lady. She picked up a rake and made the gravel path smooth. She dusted the rustic benches, then went in to make pone, a favorite with all her young people. The Little Old Lady surrounded herself with youth at all times. She loved them and they loved her. Granddaughter lived with her and brought friends to the house at all times of day. It was a gay house, ringing with joyous mirth from morn till night. They all loved the garden, too. They loved it because it was the heart of The Little Old Lady. It was there that they played and confided their secrets to her. Yes, it was truly the heart of The Little Old Lady-her happiness, her joy and her soul. In a few moments, The Little Old Lady heard the clang of the white picket gate and the sound of merry voices. The young people came into the garden and hailed her through the open doorway. They sat about joking in a sporting manner and planning more amusement. For such was their mission. A ruby throat hummed his joyful tune to the low buzzing of bees and the winsome wistaria drifted idly o'er the trellis. All grew quiet outdoor and in. The Little Old Lady peeked wistfully out upon her flock of lovers. She closed her eyes and was carried swiftly back to another day of youth. A group of young people sat on the benches, each lover with his maiden. The hardy frog croaked encouragement to him to say that which he held deep in his heart and the yellow jonquils nodded sweet ascent for bashful girls. A twitter of mirth broke forth and in a moment they joined in a frolicsome game, while the goldfinch chirped a song to the delicate pond lily. A call, and they tripped with light hearts, along the path and into the house, the girls holding their bouffant skirts high, showing beruffled pantaloons. The Little Old Lady opened her eyes with a start, looked about her and once again leaned back in her chair. Soon she rose, called to her llock and turned to the oven where the pone was baked a golden brown. She took it out. sliced it agd put lumps of butter on each piece and watched while it turned to flowing go . At the sound of pandernonium, she turned and again saw light hearts trip the stones and sly lovers wink mysteriously at one another. With a tender smile she served them and listened to true praise of her pone. -..ggi 90 Eg.- CADUCEUS wwf- i Q 1 s I Silently, she wended her way among the flowers and sat upon a bench. She looked meditatively at the climbing roses and fragrant cherry blossoms: at the peeping pansies and softly tinkling brook: at the daisies and the jasmine. What was it? What was there about it so dear? What made her love the old garden? Why? lt must be--it was her ideal. Just An Old Fashioned Garden-with lovable people and happy times always. No! Not quite! What was it? What was it? Noontime drew her away, still troubled for the rest of the day. Sun-up found her again in The Old Fashioned Garden, thinking, strug- gling to pull from the very brink of hopelessness, a vague, undefined and misty answer to her question. XVhat was it? Ah, a Garden and Memories! --Freddie Hintz. 120300503 THE BLOSSOMS OF SPRING HE TREES are no longer bare of branch and dull. They have acquired new beauty of a soft and delicate tone that is almost indescribable. It is a magic beauty that has changed the orchard trees to new beings of intangible life and loveliness. The trees are covered with a shower of white and pink blossoms resembling snowflakes, but 'still the petals of the blossoms are more dainty and exquisite than the most perfect snowflakes ever seen. Like snow also they lie on the ground beneath the trees covering the spring mud and the fresh, damp earth with a carpet of delicate petals. And when the fragrance, the perfume. of these blossoms is blown by the early spring breezes to our winter weary nostrils, we know that spring is in the air. The dullest spirit cannot fail to respond to the spirit of spring when the trccs are covered with bloom. The lovely blossoms are the true heralds of spring, so that when they appear, we know spring has come. We need no calendar to tell us. -Julia Turner.

E030 E03 A SPEECH IN ENGLISH QUT OF the stillness John hears his name and realizes that he must give that dreaded speech. Slowly he rises and shuffles up to the front of the room. Standing there with his hands in his pockets and moving one knee continuously, he sheepishly grins at the class. Clearing his throat, he turns to look at the teacher as if for some inspiration. After receiving a cold, impersonal stare, he turns once more to the class, shifts his weight to the other foot and opens his mouth. As no sound comes forth, he quickly closes it and grows exceedingly red. He shuffles his feet and gazes at the floor. Perhaps the floor gives him the desired inspiration, for he raises his head, moves his knee again, gazes out of the window, and valiantly begins. After the first ten words he is stuck. He clears his throat, takes a few steps toward the window and starts all over. Again he gets stuck, and finally gives up in despair. - --Jacquelyn Bowen. E030 E03 A WEE BIT OE JOY IN A CURB on the busy street of Broadway, a lone little sparrow was search- ing for food. His voice clear and sweet arose from the din, triumphant, determined, a fight to the end. I listened in awe while he searched so intent. Then he trilled one last note and fluttered away-just a wee bit of joy that makes life complete. -mggi 92 CADUCIEUS 920640 1 1? ' x 'x v OF RECREATION Cln Imitation of Baconj OW CAN a man do his daily tasks well if he hath not some diversion? For recreation is necessary to one's peace of mind and physical well being. No one accomplisheth his best work nor performeth the best service to his fellow creatures, if he stayeth at all times so close to the daily grind that his task becometh irksome to him. Let the worker not remain so, but let him turn to pursuits less weighty. There is recreation for both mind and body. So let not the worker whose duty doth consist of mental endeavor turn his tired brain to reading matter of complicated nature nor to plays of intricate plot. For these afford no recreation to a weary mind. Nor should one engaged in manual labor, turn too often to sports which incur great physical exercise. Though, by reason of his daily toil, his body hath become strong enough to endure such exercise, his mind becometh dull. The laborer must have recreation of such a nature that his intellect is kept undimmed, and his daily toil will never seem a toil of fruitlessness. Thus let the worker lay aside his task and indulge in recreation that will make his work more pleasant to him. -Julia Turner. 330 io? MIDNIGHT Silver river, moonlight ripples, Midnight sky and stars- Here the Great and Little Dippers, There Sirius and Mars. Midnight shadows, midnight breezes, Pine-trees swaying in the dark, Not a light except from heaven, Or the glow worm's tiny spark. Not a sound from out the forest, But the whisp'ring of the breeze, All is quiet but the waters And the swaying of the trees. -Dorothy Kellogg. -Q-2+ 93 is-M yzl L, l L, 5 -:poem 1 ll -I 5 I I THE EXPERIENCES OF AN AMATEUR OST PEOPLE forget the hours of practice and preparation necessary to produce a play such as was shown to you last Christmas. The Other Wise Man was a great undertaking for a group to produce under such handicaps. They had barely a month to rehearse, together with a stage much too small, no scenery at hand at all suitable and last, with very little means at their disposal. I am not making excuses for the production, far from it. I am merely trying to show in a small measure what work had to be accomplished in four short weeks. Notwithstanding all handicaps the play was a success, or so our friends tried to make us believe. Much credit is therefore due Miss Farnsworth, who drilled us without thought of time, place, or self during those few short weeks. Miss Thoming and Mr. Stahl, together with the Stagecraft Club, de- serve much praise for their splendid work on the paraphernalia. Mrs. Walker and Miss Stansbury also helped greatly in the preparation and draping of the costumes. The practice was begun with vim and vigor and before the first week was ended we realized that we had undertaken a big piece of work. We knew that in order to make it a success we must practice diligently. I do not personally know of the other members of the cast: whether they took it as seriously as I did or not, but I spent many hours outside of those spent at school in the rehearsals. The cast responded nobly to rehearsals: everything seemed to point to a good performance. A great amount of work was necessary on the part of Mr. Stahl and Miss Thoming to get the necessary stage property and scenes, as much had to be made from old flats. Much credit for the success of the play was due to their lighting effects which were partially made expressly by them for it. Leaving their good work, I will attempt to tell you of some of my experi- ences on the two nights of our performance. I felt very much hindered by the robes and uncomfortable with the paint upon my face. As the time for my appearance in the prologue neared I began to wonder how my voice would sound to me on my first words. I spent ten very anxious seconds waiting. After my first few words I felt very much relieved that I could speak and I thought that I could be understood by all present. When the first scene was ready to begin, the orchestra had ceased playing, and the boy was ready to raise the curtain, my jewels were not present. Some- one ran to get them from the boy who played the role of the Spirit of Christ, but returned empty handed. Other jewels were produced and the play pro- ceeded without a hitch. As the scene proceeded I was supposed to place a bough of evergreen on the fire. In so doing the bough burst into flames but luckily I got it out without an accident. The climax approached. Would Eloise draw the curtain far enough for the shepherd scene to be seen? He ran in, the curtain was drawn. It was far enough and I was at ease again. In the next scene I hoped with many a fear that Lem Tull would remember not to neigh when I arrived by the roadside where he lay. I came up and no sound was uttered by him, thanks to his drilling in rehearsals. In the next scene when I approached the meeting place and reached for the 94 QAIDUCEUS GEOG-'I' 1 9 - 8 message it was not there. Oh, what a tragedy! I was supposed to drop the note to the ground upon reading it. I don't know whether the people watching noticed or not. In the last scene I experienced quite a bit of anxiety as to how my fall would turn out, when death was supposed to be upon me. I do not yet know how I accomplished it, and I can imagine I looked about like a camel kneeling to rest. The last sensation came when I was supposed to die. The angels sang, but the curtain was not closed as I expected it would be, until after the angels linished their song. I hope that I have shown herein that not everything is seen by the audi- ence and that not all that happens is necessarily in the play. I regret to have expressed only my own feelings, but I felt only my own part throughout the play. I hope that I have not mentioned any action or occasion which would embarrass anyone. If I have, you must know that it was entirely unintentional. -Roy Phillips. 330503 MELANCHOLY Oh, lowering cloud above the hill I'm climbing. Oh, lonely cloud in all the boundless blue, Though you may seem so menacing and cruel, You are relief from that eternal blue. For though the sky beyond that hill-top calls me, And bids me labor for the treasure there, A human heart can't always keep on striving: Sometimes it must fall back into despair. And so, where once the light of hope had led me, The prize is hidden in your gloomy breast: And in your cold gray arms wrapt close about me. My heart finds solace, and my mind finds rest. -Frances Shier. E030 E043 A NIGHT STORM HE NIGHT was like a nightmare. The wind howled and snorted around the corners. The blinds flew up on their own accord. Outside, the rain was falling in torrents from the clouded skies. The clock slowly boomed out the hours like a hand of death. We dared not sleep for fear that the river would overflow and our house be washed away. h -Helen Pearl. -..ggi Ep..- iimwiix 1028 CALIFORNIA PIONEERS OW MANY ,of you have been reading about the aged miner, who for the past several weeks has been lost from his home in the mountains a short distance from here? Or, how many of you, if you have read about him, have given more than a passing interest to the story? There are so many events to claim the interest of people in this busy day, that the fate of one almost un- known man does not make much of a stir in the world of affairs. Being person- ally acquainted with the circumstances surrounding this man's disappearance has made me much interested in the case. When Mr. Finnicum left his mountain cabin, about ten o'clock in the morning, almost a month ago, he disappeared completely from view and has not been seen nor heard of from that day until now. The thought has occurred to me that happenings such as this were not unusual in the earlier history of our state. Unknown fates overtook many of our pioneer miners. California has not always been the land of ease and peace that we lind it today. When the earlier inhabitants arrived they found no rail- roads on which to travel most comfortably, no highways paved from end to end of the state, and not even trails or mountain passes to guide them on their search for gold. ' ik in as at Before these miners came, however, another group of men were here who greatly influenced the history of our state. These were the Franciscan Fathers. those noble men whose work will stand forever as a monument to their endeav- ors. They came here animated by a spirit of fraternalism and labored long and faithfully in the work which they had chosen. It is not alone for their devo- tion to duty that we revere their names today, but also for their heroism in times of danger. Their lives were full of hardships and sacrifices. Nearly all com- forts were denied them. When they Hrst came to our state they settled along the coastal regions to the south, later on moving inland and northward. They built their little missions, sometimes of adobe and sometimes of logs, but nearly always by the work of their own hands, or with the assistance of a few friendly Indians. Around these buildings small clearings were made where they raised corn and wheat for sustenance. Often times this proved their only food. It is due to their work among the Indians that the miners Who came at a later date found the natives to be as friendly as they were. When Marshall made his momentous discovery of gold in 1848, he drew the eyes of almost the entire world to California. Men came from every corner of the globe to garner the yellow wealth that was to be found here. Some came by horseback across the plains, in large parties or in small. The covered wagon, driven by oxen, brought many more. Still others came by water, around the horn. Some came through a spirit of adventure, seeking always the unusual. Others thought only of the wealth they might find. This condition quickly changed, however, and men came with entirely different views in mind. To them the West meant a land of promise. It was a place of fresh hopes and new beginnings. 4: af 4: in The early disordered conditions of living have been much stressed. I do not think this condition was unusual, though. When one considers the mush- room cities that quickly sprang up when the influx of miners arrived, the lack of any centralized form of authority, and the general excitement under which -..ggi Eg..- fXl..DUl.Ql1US 'Begg' I 9 Z 8 C XlDULQllLTS r23QCii' , - I all men were laboring, this lawlessness is easily explained. Furthermore, men of all classes and creeds came here. The mighty and the weak, the good and the bad, the rich and the poor, the old and the young. It is no wonder that chaos reigned supreme. XVith the arrival of the pioneer mothers, all this quickly changed. Order was soon established. It is to them no less than to the pioneer fathers that we are indebted for our glorious state of today. Side by side they worked with their men folks, to build their homes and establish themselves permanently in this new land. Their hardships were great, but their endurance was greater. How many of us girls of today would care to live the lives our grandmothers had to face? They had few conveniences. Some things that we term absolute necessities today. were undreamed of luxuries at that time. There were no splendid school buildings for their children to attend, so these mothers taught their own boys and girls until such time as a better means of education was offered to them. My great uncle has told me of the first school in this vicinity. It was a little adobe building situated at Mud Springs, about three miles from here. Some ten or twelve students attended at the time he taught there in 1856. However, then as now the parents desired the best in education for their chil- dren, and it is to this desire that we can attribute the wonderful improvement between the school of that day and the present. wk -or 4: as Minerva was early chosen the goddess of our state. She was one of the deities of the ancient Greeks whom they had endowed with thought, action, and power. It is upon this foundation that California has been builded. No one can deny that thought, of the deepest and most sincere kind, has gone into the upbuilding of this glorious state. Action, swift and sure, was necessary in those early days. not only for the advancement of the pioneers socially, politic- ally, and economically, but also for the preservation of their very lives. Power is the mainspring which has carried this land from its entrance into statehood in 1850 to its place as one of the most powerful states in the Union today. x if 4- 4: We are all living in and enjoying the benefits of this wondrous state, so why not let us all join in preserving the heritage which is ours, and keeping forever fresh the memory of California pioneers, those honored builders of an honored state. fEditor's Note: The above is part of the oration given by Miss Lois Colman at the Public Speaking Contest held in Marchj E930 Ee? SUNSET IN THE MOUNTAINS N THE late afternoon of a warm summer day, one can generally see beautiful, bright hues dancing across the sky, playing hide and seek with the clouds. These bright colors reflect on the tall, still pines until they are all aglow like a shower of jewels. After watching this sight awhile, one sees the skies fading, and a shadow coming over all. The trees lose their radiance, and the sunset has vanished. -Betty Jane Allen. 97 lfllfi ON A HAIR HAIR. What an insignificant part of the human anatomy it is. How positively paltry. How terrifically trivial! How meaningless to the every day world. A dog wouldn't stop to consider a hair unless it were one of his own, perhaps. But a hair, however small may lead up to something momentous especially to one in the barber's chair. It may mean a great deal of joy to him or a great deal of anguish. Recently I climbed rather reluctantly into the chair. Reluctantly, I say because my hair had reached my shoulders and it had taken some months to grow that long. So, you see, I counted it some sacrifice when I finally saw my locks drifting over my shoulders. I must contradict myself here by saying that I felt some joy in the realization that I was soon to look less like a savage. But my joy soon vanished and great annoyance possessed me. A tiny hair had unceremoniously paused to rest on my upper lip. A hair can be so weighty in such a place. I moved the muscles of my face in a fruitless effort to dislodge the object. It remained. l blew through my nostrils and snorted to myself. Thc hair reposed in somewhat the same position and undoubtedly in the same place. I tried blow- ing upward through my mouth in an attempt to attack the thing unawares from below. The hair stood its ground. Happy thought! Perhaps by weeping I could wash the loathsome object away. Thereupon I thought of my lost loves, feeling sure I would soon burst into a torrent of tears. No tears came. How unsatisfactory the emotions are in an emergency. In my discomfort I shut my eyes tightly trusting that a few drops of water would squeeze through. Evidently the barber, too preoccupied with his business, had not noticed his patient's CI never was so patient in my lifej nervousness. I had another happy plan. Perhaps if I centered my mind on the miserable hair it would realize how despicable it was in my estimation and promptly leave. I shall add that I burned all my books on mental telepathy that evening. All things must end sometime, and eventually the barber, savior of my self respect, removed the towel from my neck and gently but decisively wiped away the foreign matter from my face. It was in due time. In another minute-. I hesitate to say what might have happened. At all events, in spite of the fact that this man had shown no perception of my discomfort before, and in every way had presented a Sphinx-like appearance, as I left the shop I can truthfully say that I noticed a happy light spring into his eyes and a smile appear on his face as he thanked me for the unusually large tip I had given him, -Anonymous. 93 35..- CADUCEUS B064 I 9 Z 8 l I Characters: Scene: Mr. Wood- Lucille- Mr. Wood- Mrs. Wood Mr. Wood- Mrs. Wood Mr. Wood- Lucille- Mrs. Wood Lucille- Mrs. Wood Lucille- Mrs. Wood Mrs. Wood Mrs. Wood EIGHT LOVE LETTERS MR.

I am shocked that a child of mine should practice such duplicity. Hem! Let me see. Number one, I believe, dated June, and this is December. Half a year you have deceived us then, Lucille. Let me see- ah! From the first moment I adored you, bah! nonsense. People don't fall in love in that absurd manner. With your smiles for a goal, I would win both fame and fortune, poor as I am. Fiddlesticks, Lucille. A man who has common sense would always wait until he had a fair commencement before he proposed to a girl. Praising your beauty, eh? The loveliest creature I ever saw. Exaggeration, my dear. You are not plain, but such flattery is absurd. Must hear from you or die! Dear, dear, dear-how absurd. Here's another letter, the same stuff. I hope you do not believe a word he says. Ah! now in number three he calls you an angel! I-Ie's romantic, upon my heart. You are mine dear, and mine alone. Do not let them sell you for gold, Lucille darling. Great Pete, what impertinence to your parents! I don't remember Fred saying anything of that kind. He never knew you would object. Be still while I read this last letter. My curses on him. Infamous. I'll go to him this instant- I'1l teach him a few things, I'll-I'll murder him! As for you. by gum, I'll send you to a convent. Elope-elope with a music teacher! Here, Hawkins, tell James to hurry and get out the machine, I- Oh, Papa! you are crazy! Fredrick never proposed such a thing. Let me see the letter. Oh, this is not Fred's-upon my word it is not. Do look, Papa, it is dated twenty years back, and Fredrick's name is not Charles! Papa, these are your letters to Mamma, written long ago. Mother's name is Lucille, you know. Vlhy so silent, Papa? You're red in the face. How did this occur? -I did it on purpose! You know, Charles, it's so long ago, and I thought you might not exactly remember how you fell in love with me at first sight, how papa and mamma objected, and how, at last, we ran away together, and it seemed to me if we could bring it all plainly back to you as it was then, we might let Lucille marry the man she loves, who is good, if he isn't rich. I don't have to be brought back any plainer myself: women have more time to remember, you know. And we've been very happy--have we not? Ahem. Well, this is rather unexpected. Lucille- Oh Papa! Wasn't it quite clever of us? -it ,oo L 4 uutiiius was 1 Mi. Wood- Certainly, I can't deny that. Your little trick has been very favorable to the young music teacher. I guess he's only senti- mental, and would not go half so far as elopement. With my full approval, Lucille dear, you shall marry Fredrick whenever you wish. It will be surrounded with all the pomp and gran- deur befitting the nuptials of a wealthy merchant's daughter.

It consists of all the girls enrolled in the high school. In October the Freshman reception was given in honor of the incoming girl students. A program followed by dancing was the principal feature. Instead Of giving another reception during the second semester the girls concentrated their efforts on the I-Ii Jinks. This very successful event was held on Friday, the thirteenth of January. The girls gave a banquet for the football men on December l2. Only those girls who worked on the committee were allowed to attend. After leaving the table, those present spent the evening dancing. The boys were loud in their praise of the girls as good cooks. Early in the spring semester, the girls brought the Brick Morse Collegians. a group of twenty college entertainers, here. The entertainment was held in the American Legion Hall. As a result one hundred and forty-fIve dollars was added to the treasury. For their feature at the carnival the girls sponsored a circus. The final social event of the season was the Senior tea, given by the lower classes to the graduating Senior girls. The oflicers who conducted the successful year were: First Semester Second Semester ALLIE KESSELRINC. I E. ,otc President--.L ..,. -CATHERINE RODLEY CATHERINE RODLEY .

Every boy in school is a member of this organization. It was formed towards the end of the first semester of this year for the purpose of cooperating with the many boy problems met with in every high school. The organization is young, and for that reason it has not accomplished as much as have older organizations. But what they have done has been achieved with the best cooperation. The boys have taken an interest in it, and it is expected to do much good next year. At Christmas time the boys helped the needy families of Chico by collecting a large supply of donations from the student body. Much food and clothing was secured at this time, and was dis- tributed among the poor families of the vicinity. Last January the Boys' League sponsored a musical program, featuring the Delong Trio, who played before the student body. The Boys' League also took a prominent part in the carnival held by Chico High School. It was through the members of this organization that the big jitney dance was made possible. Elvin Shepherd was president of the organization. The other officers are as follows: Warren Musselman, vice-president: Delbert Birdseye, secretarv: and Don Pierce, yell leader. -Horace Dunning. -..gf 106 ig..- CADUCEUS - .. ,, HONOR SOCIETY HE HONOR Society was organized in January for all students who made the required ten points. It was not until March that the charter from the California Scholarship Federation was received. The Oroville chapter installed the local one at an impressive ceremony held in the assembly. The society was organized in order to bring together those students who are particularly good in scholarship. However, with the organization of the society the old 'honor system of four A's was lowered to three A's and one This latter grading is the standard of the California Scholarship Federa- tion. and other schools have found it much more satisfactory. Many more stu- dents are now eligible for membership. At one of the assemblies this spring the student body passed an amendment to the constitution giving the honor students more recognition. This amend- ment stated that any student who made the society for two-thirds of his high school career would be awarded life membership in the C. S. F., and the official seal would be stamped on his diploma in addition to his receiving the pin of the federation. One of the first get-togethers of the season was the candy pull held by the society. The next day the candy was sold to the students from the hall window. The French booth at the carnival was sponsored by the students. ln April Alice Cummings, Opal Meline, and Helen Peterson attended the State Scholarship Conference held in Sacramento. There. it was decided to divide the state into three sections. The club also originated the Chico High School Scholarship Fund, amount- ing to three hundred dollars. Life members from the class of '28 include Louise Butts, Winnie Breslauer. Eldred Self. Alice Cummings, Helen Davis, Jean Morony, Irma Belle Studley, Edward Terada. Lucille Cooper, and Bertine Seiler. The officers are: President, Alice Cummings: vice-president, Lucille Cooper' secretary, Jean Morony: and treasurer, Annie Garner. -W1'nnr'e Breslauer. -..Qi 107 Bt..- . . 'I I - I xi N i J I X THE SCRIBBLERS HE SCRIBBLERS Club under the direction of Miss Currie was formed in October by a few girls who desired to write poetry or prose. There are no dues or officers. One of the interesting bits of work the club has undertaken to do is the writing of a progressive narrative, each member contributing a chap- ter in turn until the story is complete. The members of the club include: Helen Summers, Lesley Browning, Freddie Hintz, Veda Rushton, Alice Cum- mings, Frances Shier, Helen Davis, and Phoebe Jane Sallee. 5930203 RADIO CLUB HE CHICO HIGH Radio Club, as a get-together organization for radio enthusiasts. was organized through the efforts of Mr. Lundeen, faculty advisor, early in the fall. Ofhcers were elected as follows: Frank Gill, presi- dent: Joseph Zink, vice-president, and Harold Ohleyer, secretary-treasurer. The first meetings of the year were taken up in the study of radio parts, their theory and operation. There prevailed at all meetings the DX hounds with their tales of WOP riding in on a high wave, and KDKA covering the dials at 30 meters. These Parlor Bolsheviks of Radiodom even went so far as to say they had received Honolulu. Mr. William Clausen, a licensed commercial operator and speaker at one of the meetings, told of the necessary steps to put into operation an amateur trans- mitting station. This aroused in the hearts of several members the smouldcring desire to become a transmitting amateur. A library of radio books and magazines was started by the club. Garret Burt was elected librarian, and assigned to the task of being master of ceremonies in the smallest library with probably the heaviest subject matter. --Frank Gill. -Magi 108 Ep..- EL CIRCULO ESPANOL I. CIRCULO ESPANOLH was organized early in the fall semester of this year by Mr. Power. a new member of the faculty who came from Fresno to teach in the language department. The officers of the iirst semester were: Irene Grey, president: Jefferson Garner, vice-president: Alice Cummings, secretary: and Delbert Birdseye, treas- urer. No change in officers was made in the second semester, except that Helen Davis filled the vacancy in the presidency. The most important qualification for membership is that of having had at least one year of Spanish. The purpose of the club is to further the interest in speaking Spanish, and to learn more about Spain as to her industries, cities, geography, people, customs, and art. A short Spanish play, La Primera Disputaf' was presented before the student body last fall. The cast consisted of Irene Grey, Helen Davis, and Elizabeth Bryan. It was well received. The members of the club studied some of the most important Spanish artists. After they had made this study, the members mounted copies of Spanish masterpieces and hung them in Mr. Power's room. The club also made a scrapbook, which they sent to Spain. The book con- tained articles written by the various members, stressing California as to its geography, history, and people, and many interesting illustrations. The Spanish Club expected to receive in return a scrap book from Spain. In the second semester as special work time was devoted to writing letters to chambers of commerce of Spanish cities and cataloguing information received. The club also took part in the carnival in presenting a Spanish courtyard. Spanish dishes were served and the booth was featured by Spanish dancing by members of the club. -Elaine Siligo. 109 Eg..- THE KODAK CLUB S THE name implies, this club is one devoted to recreational as well as educational ideas. It was through the kindness and influence of Mr. Staples that this club came into existence. He called together a group of those interested in photography. With the beginning of the spring semester those interestd in the work met and formed what is now the Kodak Club. Officers were elected as follows: Presi- dent, Mary Alice Colman: vice-president, Catherine Lane: secretary-treasurer. Elizabeth Walker. Beginning with twenty members the enrollment has shown considerable growth. Starting with the explanation of the camera, Mr. Staples advanced the members through the art of snap-taking and on into the field of pictorial study. Many delightful and interesting excursions have been enjoyed by the club members. Among the places visited was Butte Creek Canyon. The regular meeting nights are on alternate Wednesdays. In order to supply the needs of the club for equipment a number of sales were held. Mrs. Robbins is club sponsor. , To aid the student body and the Caduceus in their work the club sponsored a booth at the April carnival. Many striking photographs were taken of promi- nent students. Q- me membership was drawn from all four classes, the Freshmen being as welc e as the Seniors. All worked side by side with the faculty members in theXinterest of the club's work.

In the early part of December a number of the boys went to Berkeley. There they had discussions and other things on Hi Y work. Those who attended from here were Colin Wilson, Joe BarkoWsk', Ancil McNett, Judson Strother, and Wes- ley Hummel. Also, the boys ma e a trip through one of the warships in San Francisco Bay. A! In the latter part of December, Judson Strother was sent as a representative to Montezuma. There the study of leadership was undertaken. As a repre- sentative of the Junior Hi Y, Ronald Notley also went to Montezuma. A number of socials have been given. During the fall semester a get- acquainted party was held, to which all upper class boys were invited. Later, the boys gave a skating party at the Gridley rink. The Girls' Hi Y was in- vited as guests. The boys also aided the Girls' Hi Y in making the Christmas party a success. On May 8. the boys held a mothers' program in honor of lVIother's Day. This was well attended and received much praise. The oflicers of this organization are: President, Wesley Hummel: vice- president. Floyd Whitlatch: secretary, Joe Barkowski: and treasurer, Robert Ayre. JUNIOR HI Y During this last semester, the Boys' Hi Y Club has sponsored and helped introduce in Chico High a new club called the Junior High Y. This club is for Freshmen and Sophomores only. The boys are just getting started in their work, but under the able leader- ship of Mr. Dahlman great things are expected to be done. They have joined a baseball league with other Junior Hi Y's of the county. The up-and-coming oflicers are: Fred Gatten, president: William Gillespie, secretary: and Virgil Oldemeyer, treasurer. -Joseph Barkowski. I I I I fl I1 2-1, F F 5 GIRLS' HI Y The Girls' Hi Y has completed another successful year of activities, This year more than ever the girls have tried to carry out the idea of service in all their work. But the work was not always serious as there was much fun enjoyed. The third degree initiation has always proved a source of amusement to everyone but the initiates. The Boys' Hi Y gave a skating party for the girls at the Gridley rink. Many members of both clubs attended. It was not long after school started that many of the girls attended the barbecue at Oroville given for the purpose of better acquainting the contributors to the Y. M. C. A. movement with the work of the clubs. The girls were represented by an attractive float in the Armistice Day parade. For their service work the members did many things. At Thanksgiving time a basket of food was prepared for a needy family of Chico. In December a party was given for the little children of the vicinity, The Boys' Hi Y and Triangle Clubs joined to make the affair a success. There were also several conventions held. The Butte County Conference was held at Durham on January 28. Gur girls were also invited to the Yuba- Sutter Conference held at Marysville. The theme of both was Taking Inven- tory. Each girl analyzed herself and took inventory of all her good and bad points. The Older Girls' Conference was held at Richardson Springs March 31 and April l. The theme was Hidden Springs which was very appropriate for the setting. On Thursday afternoon, May 17, the Girls' Hi Y and Triangle Clubs were hostesses to more than thirty mothers at a Mother's Day tea. Many of the faculty women teachers were also present. Each guest was presented at the beginning of the afternoon with corsages of sweet peas, roses, and ferns. A pro- gram, both interesting and amusing, was given. The refreshments were deli- cious, and everyone spent an enjoyable time getting acquainted. -..ff I I 2 Eg..- - 3 -s Three initiations were held this year. The second one was followed by a banquet with the Triangle and Boys' Hi Y Clubs as guests, besides Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur and others, The last initiation ceremony of the year was held Thursday afternoon, May 24, when over twenty new members were taken into the club. The new oflicers for next year were also installed at this time. Mrs. Wilbur, the Butte County Y. M. C. A, secretary, of Oro- ville, was present at these ceremonies with a group of the Y girls from Oroville. Fol- lowing the program in the Little Theatre, the girls and their guests enjoyed a delightful tea given by the women faculty members of the school. The teachers gave this tea in appre- ciation of the efforts of the Girls' Hi Y to keep their rest room neat. Throughout the year the service committee had made it their duty to keep fresh flowers in the teachers' room. The local club raised one hundred dollars for equipment for the Y. M. C. A. camp at Gold Lake. No change was made in the officers except for the vacancy which was created when Mar- garet l-lughes. the vice-president, graduated. Freddie Hintz was elected to the office. The other oiiicers are Louise Butts. president: Freddie Hintz, vice-president: Winnie Bres- lauer, secretary: and Eleanor David, treasurer. GOLD LAKE CAMP Several girls from Chico spent an enjoyable two weeks at the Y, M. C. A. camp at Gold Lake. The girls received some very inspiring instructions on the spiritual life. Besides this, classes were held every morning on the rifle-range, nature study, kindergarten, and the like. The girls have much time, however, to do what they please. The lake offers won- derful swimming opportunities.. Then there is a bon-fire every night, around which the girls group themselves. There are many stunts and plays, given for pure fun. This includes each tent, as repre- senting a month, putting on a program that is common to the month. Both Lucille Cooper and Eleanor Crouch gave their endorsement of camp as being a good vacation. -Eleanor David. -..ggi I I3 kip..- r iiT,uTi if fi' C - i c TRIANGLE CLUB HE TRIANGLE CLUB has just completed a most successful year under the leadership of Eleanor Crouch. From a membership of twenty-eight the enrollment has increased to fifty. Miss Mack is the faculty advisor. The Triangle Club is a Junior Hi Y. Its purpose is to be of service to the community and individuals. Also the members are instructed in Hi Y work. Discussions were held by Miss Mack and Eleanor Crouch on the Hi Y code and platform. The purpose is another feature taken up. The officers for the first semester were: President, Anzel Vanous: vice- president, Beatrice Metzger: secretary, Elaine Parrish: treasurer, Rose Ogden: program chairman, Evelyn Cooper, and publicity chairman, Udell Combs. In February these officers were succeeded by Virginia Maddox as president: Martha Martin as vice-president: Marion Thomasson as secretary: Evelyn Cooper as treasurer: Beatrice Metzger as program chairman: and Elizabeth Nelson. pub- licity chairman. The Triangle Club has proved itself worthy by its influence in bringing some of the Freshmen girls together in the spirit of service. On Thanksgiving Day, baskets of food were taken to many needy families. A few days before Christmas a party was given for the benent of some of the poorer children. This club assisted the Girls' Hi Y in making the affair a success. At the beginning of each semester, a tea was given in order to encourage the Freshmen girls to join. The teas given this year proved a good factor for in- creasing the membership. Also many of the members have assisted and attended banquets given by the Girls' Hi Y. For their carnival contribution the girls arranged a Pirate Booth. From this, they sold soda pop and punch. To have a Junior Girls' Hi Y is a new undertaking in this part of the state. The Oroville club is the only other one in existence in Northern California. The club is based on Hi Y standards and for that reason looks forward to even a more successful year for l928-'29. -Evelyn Cooper. I I 4 QUILL AND SCROLL ARLY IN JUNE, 1927, those students interested in journalism, having received at least an upper third in all their grades, met and organized the local chapter of the Quill and Scroll. Alice Cummings was elected president: Winnie Breslauer. vice-president: and Louise Butts, secretary. At that time Mr. Norman Deuel spoke to the students on newspaper opportunities. Also Miss Currie showed the students the first printed copy of the Red and Gold, pulblished in 1916. She traced the development of journalism in Chico High t c ool. Due to the loss of so many members through graduation, the club was inactive during the fall term. However, in March of this year another initiation was held. After the ceremony, Mrs. Nina F. Seager spoke to the members on Newspaper People That I Have Known. This was a very interesting talk and was well received by everyone. Prior to this initiation an informal one was held. The initiates were tried by the judge, Miss Gudmunsen, and sentenced by the jury fthe charter mem- bers now in schoolb. Many and varied were the results of conviction. Also, the new members received a paper and feather representing the pins of the society, The club expects to publish a handbook for Chico High in the near future. Such a book will contain school songs and yells, the constitution, courses offered, the history of our school, and many other features, This would help students considerably. The active members at present are: Lucille Cooper, Winnie Breslauer, Louise Butts. Margaret Brouchoud, Clinton Summers, Alda Rouse, Alice Cummings. Alvin Korn. Garvin Estes, Mervyn Hensley, Paul Little, Lesley Browning, Catherine Rodley. Garna Hamilton, Mabel Hall, Eleanor Crouch, and Eva Wright. 1 -,Winnie Breslauer. I I5 i Xllli ESPN 'ro-wif AGGIE CLUB HE CHICO High School Agricultural Club is one of the most active organi- zations in the high school. Each year it shows advancement in quality of membership and work. In the past year the club has been very successful in its purpose. It has also doubled its membership with new and active students. The Agricultural Club maintains the highest standards of school and club work. Each meeting contributes both to general knowledge and specific agri- cultural training. Talks and debates on study topics are frequent features of the program. Progress in the social life of each member is advanced by the club meetings, banquets. and entertainments. Leadership and administration ability are developed. It is always the aim of the club to make its work of service to the high school and Chico community. Much of the club's time has been spent in judging work so that the Chico High School could be well represented at the state judging contests. Field trips to places of interest about Chico have also been of great interest. Each class spends one day each week on one of these trips.

STAGECRAFT HIS YEAR Chico High has witnessed the establishment of a new organiza- tion called the Stagecraft Club. This club was formed for the benefit of all students interested in the craftsmanship of the theatre. The first project of the club was the staging of the Christmas Pageant. The Other Wise Man. It was probably the most elaborate setting ever con- structed for a pageant in our high school. It was this splendid piece of work that gave the club recognition among the active organizations of this school. Other big projects of the club were the staging of The Follies, Which to Choose, and Only 38. As it has been the aim of the Stagecraft Club to serve whenever needed, they have done much work for such outside organizations of the community as the Boy Scouts of America, and Teachers College. They have even gone to neigh- boring communities to render their services in the staging of plays. The club also took an active part in making the carnival the big success it was. Besides conducting a profitable booth and helping with general decoration and lighting. they helped with the staging of the Musical Comedy, Which to Choose. The club has installed some much needed equipment on the-stage along with various necessities of the stage lighting. Many excellent pieces of scenery have been constructed which will be very helpful in future productions. Although the members have worked hard, they have not neglected a varied program of social activities. The first social was a program at the school. A few weeks later they had a delightful initiation party at the home of Miss Thoming. The ofiicers for the year were as follows: Student director, Walter Shoe- smith: assistant stage manager, Gilbert Anderson: property manager, Luella Turner: regisseur, Antoinette Choisser: electrician, Walter Shoesmith: secretary and librarian. Catherine Laney treasurer, Ruby Krikac: assembly committee, Cynthia Lane, -Walter Shoesmith. -..ggi I I7 Eg..- I Www 1, .1 111,11 11- 1 Ef 1111 ,11111,1 111 . ..,. ..., .. .1 -1 .-,. - ., 1. .. . ,- -, 1 - 1 .. . .L 1 1. 1 52111111111111111.1111z11,1111.11b11aaz111111-11121za11111111g1-,1 1-11,-11. .... 1-..11111..11 111-1. .111 .A.. .1r.11.1, ..... 11111112 ..... 111.1.1111. ....- 1111:u,..111 ,.,.1,,1.L1::1H11111,11-11.,,1111--,11111111113111 .1 ,..... 1 .,..., 0,511 .... ., ,,,, , ...,..

Block 'AC's are awarded by the student body as an athletic honor. The club is at all times highly honored and respected by all of the students. To become a possessor of a an athlete must be a warrior of the gridiron, a speed demon of the cinderpath, a hero of the ball diamond, a good wielder of the tennis racket, or a hero of the basket ball courts. All of these men are formed into a club not only to boost their own favorite sport, but for helping all athletics. The wearers of the C are always glad to help any other club they possibly can, and they are always willing to help promote any of the student body functions. S D'-71 The club has been very active this year by having numerous hot dog sales. a show and vaudeville acts at the theatre, by giving the girls' basket ball team a banquet, by giving its annual spring dance, and by putting on a Jazz Party. The Boys' Jazz Party is the most important event of the year for the boys. The Block C sponsors this for the boys and their fathers. The main features of the Jazz Party are boxing and several short comedy acts. First Semester Second Semester ELVIN SHEPHERD President L GILBERT VENos GILBERT VENOS Vice-Presidenz L .

I 21 FOOTBALL PROLOGUE ' CHICO HIGH School's hopes for a 1927 championship football team failed to materialize as the local aggregation lost two deciding league games while they managed to win only the initial league game. ' The team of 1927 had a very fast and aggressive lineup, but throughout the season the team suffered numerous handicaps through injuries to some of the stellar performers. The 1927 football team was led to battle in every contest by Captain Lem Tull. Captain Tull was a tireless worker in helping form a formidable team. He was active both in social and athletic activities, being a member of the Block C Society and also a member of various social classes. Caotain Tull played tackle during the entire season and was very instrumental in helping to uphold Chico's stonewall defense. SUSANVILLE us. CHICO On November 31, eighteen stalwart football warriors iourneved forth from the halls of learning to a small lumber town to play the combined forces of the Susanville High Srhool and the Junior College. This was the first game which the Panthers had played. Although it was a practice game, much knowledge was gained and some of the bad points of the team play were ironed out. The Chico team was outweighed ten pounds to the man but their grim determination and teamwork held the opposing force and Chico returned with the short end of a 6-0 score. ' RED BLUFF Us. CHICO . One fine sunny day the Red Bluff Union High School sent several football players to cavort on our gridiron against our high school team. The local lads went wild and rang up a total of 45 points while Red Bluff was unable to come within scoring distance . CHICO STATE FROSH us. CHICO Two weeks later our valiant Panthers squad upset all sporting dope to hold the Chico State Frosh to a 12-O score. Although the Panthers played an even game throughout they were defeated by the breaks of the game. This game seemed to be one of the best conditioning games that the high school encountered as it set the team on edge to break a losing streak and look forward to a win in their coming first league game. ' OROVILLE us. CHICO After a lay-off of a little over a week the Chico squad, with a vast array of rooters, on November 1 l journeyed to Oroville to do battle with the Oroville Tigers on the gridiron. This game turned out to be one of the slowest games of the year for the Chico squad, as several of the regulars were out of the lineup, and the field was very muddy. Oroville played a remarkable game of football and defeated our fighting Panthers by the score of 27-0. -..ggi 122 Ep..- CADUCEUS GEOG? +EfI23f3' YUBA CITY vs. CHICO The following week Coach Harold Spicer of Yuba City brought an array of gridiron warriors to the local campus, there to indulge in an inter-school football classic. The Yuba City boys were all set for a decisive victory over the Panther squad and much to their amazement they returned home with the score 24+6 in favor of Chico. This win gave the Chico lads an air of super- iority that seemed to quell their spirit as the following games turned out dis- astrously. MARYSVILLE us. CHICO On October 29, Coach Pruit of the Marysville High journeyed north with an aggregation of so-called football stars to meet the forces of Coaches Tommy Costar and Maddy Madsen. This game constituted the second league game for Chico. The breaks seemed to be with Marysville throughout the entire game, Marysville being penalized but three times while Ch'co was penalized repeat- edly. The Chico squad was completely overwhelmed and returned to the showers with the score 14-2 in favor of Marysville. SPRING FOOTBALL Coach Lloyd Madsen issued a call for prospective candidates for the 1928 football team on Monday, February 6. This call was well responded to. in that fifteen boys donned the cleated shoe and harness and cavorted upon the gridiron learning the fundamentals of the great pastime. Spring football practice is very essential if a schoollis to turn out a cham- pionship fall squad. This year, more than any other previous ones, Chico High adopted the slogan of starting early. Not onlyegreen-ies, but several veteran players turned out for spring practice in order to find out just how much they really knew about the game. Coach Madsen says: The purpose of spring football is to teach the green men the fundamentals of the game and to prepare them for fall practice so that the first two weeks will not have to be devoted to teaching the fundamentals of the game. The outlook for a championship 1928 football team is anticipated with much gusto as the material held over from last year and the new material that is rounding into shape should develop into a combination that will be almost unbeatable. The men that will in all probability be on the 1928 lineup are: Backiield, Captain Gil Venos, Paul Little, Clayton Rhoy, and Bernie Thompson: linemen, Elvin Shepherd, Bill Eusebio, M. Choisser, Frank Skelly, M. Hensley, A. Milani, J. Keefer, George Requa, Dick Hendrix, and Lloyd Shepherd. -..agf 1 24 B+., l.ll'5lliil7l.lS ' ' MMV +Fi125?3+-- A BASKET BALL k ASKET BALL at Chico High was revived as a winter si ogt in the season of 1927-28. Although no large amount of success wl to be had in the game, enough spirit was shown to insure a good teamlforfjle year, L 16 ' i i '. HA TEAM Coach Madsen's candidates were sadly handicapped because of the lack of a court on which to practice. Nevertheless when the college court was available, the team made a good showing. As there had been no basket ball in the Chico High School for two years there were no veterans on the court. This meant that all were new men as far as varsity experience was concerned. BIGGS DOWNS PANTHERS ln the first league game of the season the Panthers were downed by the fast Biggs quintet. After an exciting struggle Biggs came out on the long end of a 29-l 5 score. CHICO LOSES TO GRIDLEY This was the second league game of the season. Cmridley was leading at half time with 14-6 score and continued their advantage throughout the game, taking a 28-I2 victory. OROVILLE SWAMPED The Red and Gold quintet swamped their old rivals, Oroville, in the last league game of the season to the tune of 29--17. Fairfield starred for Chico, scoring I7 points, enough to tie the game alone. By defeating Oroville the local boys earned their coveted block A'C's. Several practice games and a post-season contest made up the rest of the games. ---if 126 fiv- Chico will be hard hit for material next year due to the graduation of several veterans. Al Korn, Larry lVlery, Leigh Fairfield, and Carl Payne will be the men to leave in June. The players returning next year are: James Keefer, Howard Vanderly, and Paul Des Jardines. MPinkie Hand will Gll Leigh Pair- field's place at center. Coach Madsen will have a hard time finding men to replace Korn and Mery, guards. They will probably be replaced by Roul and Thompson. substitutes. Prom the material on hand, Coach Madsen expects to turn out a champion l929 team. The following made up the Panther quintet: Leigh Fairfield QC.l-Leigh was either high point man or came second in the majority of the games this year. He was a good man on the defense and a whiz on taking the ball off the backboard and scoring. Alvin Korn QR. GJ-Veteran of the '26 B squad. Although at running guard he did not have many chances to score, Alvin was a wonder on the defense and was always in the thick of the battle. James Keefer QR. P.5fJimmie was one of the main cogs in the Chico High team. He played a clever floor game and could usually be relied on. Keefer is a Sophomore and has two years left to compete for this school. Larry Mery QL. GJ-'Larry played standing guard and was a stone wall on the defense. He is a big fellow and covered his section of the court in a very satisfactory manner. Mery was the appointed captain of the varsity. Howard Red Vanderly QL. PJ-Although the smallest man on the squad he was a star in nearly every game--fast and a dead shot. He will be back next year and should be hard to beat. The subs for the varsity were: Bernie Thompson, Carl Payne and Paul Des Jardines. -Mervyn Hensley. ca L ,- I HB TEAM 127 we- B BASKET BALL THE '27-'28 B basket ball squad, under the leadership of Captain Doug. Brayton, enjoyed a fairly successful season. Although Brayton was the only veteran the players had on hand at the beginning of the season, they proved themselves capable of filling the veterans' positions. The Chico team played several practice games with neighboring towns before the beginning of the N. C. H. S. A. L. B league basket ball season. CHICO us. BIGGS In thelinitial league game the Panther B basketeers met defeat at the hands of Biggs, by the very close margin of two points. The score was 16-14. GRIDLEY DOWNS PANTHERS When the referee had blown his whistle for the second league game the Red and Gold boys were again on the end of a 19-6 score. OROVILLE DOWNED The Chico High quintet easily defeated Oroville in the last game of the season by a score of 29-l 7. CHICO us. DUNSMUIR The B quintet completed the season with a defeat handed to them by thc highly touted Dunsmuir squad. The score was 25-17. COACH ELLIOTT The B quintet was coached by Irving Elliott, college student, during the first part of the season. Later, because of school work, Coach Elliott turned the job over to Maddy Madsen, football mentor. COACH MADSEN Completing the work of Elliott in rounding the team into shape for the season ahead, Maddy proved himself an able coach. It was largely due to Madsen's work that the B quintet enjoyed a successful season. Captain Brayton-A clever man on the floor and a true shot, Doug will be missed by next year's squad. Brayton played left forward and filled hir: position to the best of his ability throughout the season. Aubrey Bennett-Bennett, a new man from Missouri, played opposite Captain Brayton, the right forward position. Aubrey was high point man in nearly every game last season and will probably captain next year's quintet. Jack Tyler-Tyler played the pivot position and although he is small he showed Madsen that he could jump. Jack will return next year and should strengthen the Panthers' chances for a championship team. Delbert Birdseye-Delbert played left guard on the team and capably filled his position. A fast floor man and a clever shot, Birdseye should make a bid for a position on the varsity next year. Ancil McNett-McNett was Birdseye's partner at the guard position. Though lacking speed on the floor Ancil made it up on his excellent guarding. McNett will be back next season. The substitutes for the B varsity were: H. i'Missouri Kellogg, Frank Shearer, Verne Hill, Floyd Whitlatch, and Bob Bevins. -..gf 123 l 4 Xlll'll1LlS 'BUCK' l W .' N TRACK HICO HIGH School had one of the most successful track teams during the 1928 season it has ever had. With a well balanced team and some expert coaching by Tommy Costar, they lost only one league meet, this being the N. S. C. I. F. at Modesto. The teams received wonderful support from the students for the first time in many years, and with this help they could not fail to put out a winning team. Coach Costar started the year with but three veterans and one new man. Even the veterans were not certain as to their positions, and it took a great deal of cooperation to turn out the squad that won the N. C. H. S. A. L. champion- ship. Training started early for the 20-30 relays held at Sacramento. but because of the rain they did not enter this meet. UNIVERSITY FROSH The first event of the year was a team of last year's N. C. H. S. A. L. winners from all northern high schools combined against the University of California Freshman squad. Paul Pillsbury and Wesley Hummel went from Chico, Pillsbury taking second in the 880 and Hummel placing in the mile. Ns. f S v OROVILLE us. CHICO The nrst meet of the season for the team was a dual meet with Oroville. Chico won both the limited and unlimited divisions, the score being Chico 62 2,f'3 and Oroville 58 l,f3. FOUR CORNERED MEET The following Saturday, Chico entertained Oroville, Sutter City, and Red Bluff in a four cornered meet. As was expected, the local boys captured the I 29 Eh.- lllfll K meet, scoring 87 lf3 points. Oroville scored 34 173, Red Bluff 26, and Sutter City 15 173. Captains Brayton and Al Korn tied for high point man in this meet, each making 12M points. SEMI-FINALS N. C. H. S. A. L. April 14, the team went to Redding to compete in the semi-finals. This meet proved to be a set-up for Chico, and they were never pressed by the twelve schools participating. Chico received 7021 points. The Chico relay team broke the existing record of l:34:4 made by Sutter City many years ago. The Chico quartet ran it in two-tenths of a second faster. Eddie Reynolds broke the 440 record of 53 flat by running it in 52.9. Pillsbury, Hummel, and Leicester also turned in some nice races. - v , . N. C. H. S. A. L. FINALS This meet, under the direction of Walter Pretious, proved to be one of the best handled events ever hefd in Chico. There were fourteen schools entered, and some very fast times were turned in. Captains Eddie Rynolds and Brayton were high point men and both broke records. Brayton broke the limited 100 and 220 records, besides running a wonderful lap in the relay. Reynolds broke his own record in the 440. He also defeated in the 100-yard dash, Matthews of Marysvile, who was slated to win the race. The largest cup in high school competition was once more returned to Chico High when the Fiesta Arborea trophy was put back in our possession. The limited team also won a beautiful cup for the case. The Hnal scores were: Unlimited-Chico 44, Oroville 23, Marysville ZIM, Yuba City 19, Red Bluff 12, College City 8, Mt. Shasta 6, Sutter City 5, Orland 5, Williams 5. Weed SM, Redding 4, Live Oak 4. Limited--Chico 27, Yuba City 16, Red Bluff 9, College City 7, Colusa 3, Orland 3, Sutter City 2, Mt. Shasta l, Princeton l. MODESTO MEET Up to this time Chico had not been defeated by any rivals: however, the next week they were forced into fifth. Competition was too strong for the local boys, though many of them placed. RESUME The limited team finished the season with but one defeat. They were led by Captain Brayton, an exceptionally good man who gave his team many points at each meet. Baxter was a sure point man and was one of the mainstays of the team. Leicester, also a sprinter, never failed to garner points. Other members of the limited squad were: Pillsbury, Shearer, Tyler, Bevins, Tunni- son, Adams, and Draper. The unlimited squad were: Al Korn, Pillsbury, Hummel, Wilson, Byrne, Sisk, Des Jardines, Bach, Reynolds, Turner, Overmyer, Durham, and Phillips. Chico's relay team proved to be the bright spot in the team. The team com- posed of Korn, Brayton, Durham, and Reynolds broke the N. C. H. S. A. L. record and turned in many victories throughout the season. Steve Bach, veteran hurdler and high i'jumper, was elected to captain the 1929 squad, which is left with but four or five of the 1928 trackmen. -Eddie Reynolds. -..ggi I 30 By..- TENNIS ENNIS in the Chico High School was quite dormant as far as a number of played matches was concerned. The local Panther racket wielders played but two matches, a preliminary affair and the semi-finals match, both contests being played against the Oroville High School tennis exponents. W . st. ig. .M In the first match the Red and Gold waved at full mast with the locals tying the matches with the county seat team. Mervyn Hensley. first singles man, triumphed over Wah So Chan, Oroville captain, in straight sets, 6-3, 6--0. Joe Zink, second singles man, defeated his opponent, Widson, 5--7, 7-5, 6-3. Edward Terada was defeated in one of the most hotly contested matches of the day when Popper, Oroville's number three man, trounced him 7-5, 5-7, 7--5. The county seat racket handlers easily defeated the doubles team, composed of Lucas and Zink, winning by 13--l 1, 7-5. Following up the practice match which they played with the Oroville hope- fuls, the locals were content to practice among themselves until the semi-finals of the N. C. H. S. A. L. when the Panther squad of three men failed to make an impression on their formidable rivals. Taking into consideration the poor condition of the Oroville courts, the locals put up a valiant fight for laurels, being defeated when the Oroville aspirants turned the tables on them and upset a little dope to take both matches. Chan defeated Hensley in straight sets. 6-4, 6-4, while the doubles team, composed of Zink and Terada, met defeat at the hands of Popper and Widson. Oroville candidates for doubles honors. Thus Chico's hopes for a championship tennis team have vanished and all anxiously await what the 1929 season will hold for the racket weilders of the local institution. With a number of lower classmen coming up in the ranks a formidable team should take the court for the Red and Gold. -Tom Kelly. -..ggi I -5 I , p..:.

Football season opened the activity with the erstwhile Climax Tull as foreman of the works, leading his stalwart teammates to the fore and aft. .O With football over, the basket ball season was ushered in by none other than Lanky Larry. Larry was all for the merry as quite befits his name but his jovial aspect along with the superiority of the opposing teams was for naught as the locals were defeated in most of their starts on the hard floor courts. , Ol, Dashing forth, or fifth, came track. The squad' was piloted by our star midnight athlete, Eddie Reynolds: in spite of our beloved captain's affairs of the heart his wind held out and he developed into one4of the foremost athletes of the state. i.O,i Led by Captain Lyle Marshall, the baseball boys got into the running but some one of the team must have broken his leg as their opponents seemed to be adept at polling out the old agate in the semi-final contest. lioli The tennis aspirants were captained in their match by the superior minded Hensley twin: needless to say, the squad was well represented from all angles. The only thing that spelled defeat and kept them from winning the champion- ship of the state is that they were defeated in their first league game. .lo-.1 Q Following or tripping in Lea Cook's footsteps as feminine cheer leader, some real pep instillers took the throne as dispensers of yells. Jean Morony and George Requa took over the duties and turned the tables on previous cheer- leaders when they came bedecked in sweaters and costumes depicting every letter in the word PEP. . Our coaches will be remembered long. Tommy Costar and Maddy Madsen were the chief concoctors of athletic material on the local campus. The duo put out some formidable teams and the only complaint is that Madsen was continually howling about having to stay out so late the nights before football games so that he could see if his boys were in training or not. Thus the curtain falls before the footlights and all is well in the dominion of sports until next year. I 3 2 H..- BASEBALL A CHICO HIGH School had a very successful year in baseball under the able coaching of Frank Babe Venos and Maddy Madsen. Starting like a whirlwind, the baseball squad defeated all comers in the early part of the season. Then there came a sudden halt to Chico's string of victories when the team journeyed to Willows to play the 1927 N. C. H. S. A. L. champions and came home with the short end of a 4-3 score. This was the first defeat of the season for the Chico aggregation. .., .,....P. . ..,, . ,. r ' ff? A summary of the various games played this season follows: CHICO us. LOS MOLINOS, AT LOS MOLINOS This game was the first fracas of the year for the Chico squad. It was uninteresting due to the one-sided score which the Chico squad ran up. The score was 9-3. CHICO us. LOS MOLINOS, AT CHICO Another game with Los Molinos which gave the Chico lads more practice for the coming important games of the year. The score was 7--5. CHICO vs. WILLOWS, AT WILLOWS The Willows game was the first defeat for the Chico High squad which made them settle down in their future contests. The game was uninteresting both from the side lines and from the field. After nine hard-played innings, Chico had to be satisfied with a 4-3 score in favor of Willows. -..gef 1 3 3 Ry..- , I .. 3 i w ' 1' --iff Q All i . I x 1 . 1 . 4 1 l CHICO us. WILLOWS, AT CHICO The second game was a turning of the tables as the result was a victory for Chico. They took the Willows lads down to the tune of a 12-3 score which showed that Willows was not as good as they were reputed. Carlson and Bales constituted the batteries, who showed them some new tricks of the trade. CHICO us. ORLAND, AT ORLAND The game with the west side squad was another one-sided affair for the Chico nine when they took the game by a 19-3 score in seven innings. Dun- ning, Carlson and Bales made up the batteries for the Chico nine. The locals found the Orland pitcher in the first inning, scoring six runs. They scored at will during the remainder of the game. CHICO us. OROVILLE, AT OROVILLE The encounter with the county seat pastimers was the first league game of the season, with Chico in the pink of condition. And at the end of a fast nirfe inning game the Panthers came out on top with a 7--8 victory. CHICO us. DURHAM, AT CHICO The fray with Durham composed the second league game of the year. The Durham squad put Chico out of the running last year. This year the Red and Gold were out for the Durham team's scalp and they got it by taking them down to a 13-8 score. Two league games to their credit. CHICO vs. ORLAND, AT CHICO This was the third league game of the season, and Chico was still going strong. Due to the absence of a couple of the first string men the Chico nine had a hard time to win. After a hard fought battle the locals won the cham- pionship of Sub League 3 by a 10-9 victory over the Orland High School squad. Three league games to the Panther string of victories. CHICO us. ANDERSON, AT ANDERSON This time the Chico squad played against hard luck, losing the champion- ship for Sub League 3-4. The Anderson squad defeated Chico for the N. C. H. S. A. L. two years ago. The score was 7-6 for Anderson. This ended the season for the Chico High School squad of 1928, eliminating them from further league competition for this year. CHICO us. SUSANVILLE, AT CHICO A post-season game was played with the Susanville High School on the local diamond. An interesting contest was the result, with good team play on the part of both aggregations. -Frank Shelly. -..ggi I Eg..- .,': jig. xi SCHOOL SPIRIT SPRIT DE CORPS is a French term,,but because it so exactly expresses the thought with which this article has to deal it seems appropriate to use it here. It means The Spirit of The Troop : the controlling idea animat- ing any group of people. As applied to Chico High it is the sense of partner- ship which we all feel in promoting in every way the best interests of our school. In a school as large as ours there must necessarily be many different clubs, societies and activities to answer to the various needs, tastes and desires of our student body and to encourage it in the widest possible range of development. In the nature of the case every student cannot belong to all organizations, but our school does feel that all organizations belong to it. For this reason every student tries to cultivate a genuine interest in all activities. We are all loyal to the Block C Club. not because all have the honor of belonging to it, but because the Block MC Club belongs to Chico High and we seek every oppor- tunity to advance the welfare of this organization knowing that by so doing we increase the prestige of the entire school. This applies to all organizations as has been demonstrated many times. Our entire student body wishes to cooperate with them, knowing that their success reflects credit upon us all. It is this sense of partnership and this justifiable pride in the prosnerity of our multiplied activities that accounts for the success attained by Chico High in the social. athletic, literary and scholastic lields. It is this spirit that pervades our school and has built it up and sustained it in sympathy, devotion, enthusiasm and a jealous regard for the honor of the school. HIGH SCHOOI. YELI.

This is only the third year of its existence in Chico High, but it has become more popular yearly. Much credit is to be given to the two presidents of the association. Frankie Estes carried through the plans of the first term very well, and Bertine Seiler, her successor, did likewise. Entrance into the association was limited when the executive board voted that only those girls having at least 50 points should be admitted. It was also decided that new members should only be admitted once each semester. The Girls' Athletic Association did not sponsor a dance this year, but on the last Saturday in May a picnic was held at the Five Mile Dam. Each mem- ber was allowed to bring one friend. The association also took an active part in the school carnival which was held in April. The point system was revised by the executive board in January. Under the new point system the first school team and the champion class team both receive 100 points. The second teams receive 50: and subs on these teams 75 and 25 respectively. Fifty points are given for faithful practice, 75 for school manager, 25 for class manager and 25 for squad leaders. Besides receiving points in the various sports, the girls holding oflices in the association, receive additional points. The officers for this year were: FRANKIE ESTES ........ ......l.......

Volley ball, being the first game played in the fall, might be expected not to have much support: however, quite a number of girls Went out for practice. The Freshmen especially deserve credit for having so many interested. Class teams were chosen in the latter part of October and the interclass games were played in the first part of November. By defeating the Juniors and the Freshmen, the Seniors won the championship. Those who played on the championship team are as follows: Frankie Estes, Elva Lowry, Lucille Lemm. Clara Quistini, Phoebe Jane Sallee, Lucille Cummings, Bertine Seiler Ccaptainl, Virginia Mims, Jean Bouton, and Rosella Kesterson, substitute. After the class games were played the first team was chosen. This team played in three inter-school games. The first game was played with Durham who won. Next the local girls defeated Oroville. In the last inter-school game the Teachers College girls defeated the high school team. The first team lineup was: Jean Bouton Ccaptainj, Bertine Seiler, Margaret Waters, Helen Perkins, Frankie Estes, Phoebe Jane Sallee, Lucille Cummings, Stella Long, and Fern Bcntz. The substitutes Were: Lucille Lemm, Clara Quis- tini, Eleanor David, Lois Seiler and Edna Boutwell. -Elua Lowry. EJOZOEDBP BASKET BALL I-IEY! Throw me the ball! Let me shoot for the basket, Jean! Oh-ho! You old exclamation mark! You couldn't shoot a pea through a horse collar! Oh, Faye! I shot l02 baskets without missing! Good! Stella! Let me try it. Oh, Bea! How come they got a goal? Why, Zelma, didn't you know? That was our trick. These were a few of the exclamations heard in the gym on the opening night of the basket ball season. After Christmas vacation the class games were played, and the Juniors came out winners. The first and second teams were then picked, and challenges were sent out to other schools. The A team defeated the Oroville. Los Molinos. Gridley, and Durham A teams, and the B team was defeated by the Oroville and Gridley B teams. i At play day, held at Biggs on February 18, the A team became the cham- pions, winning from Gridley with a score of 38-20. Stella Long was the high point player in every game. The lineup was as follows: First team-Long, Bartholomew, Cook, Bou- ton, Rice, Wright, White, Bentz, Ross. Second team-Cummings, Seiler, David, Meline, Summers, Rutherford. Junior team-Long, Bartholomew, Bou- ton, David, Meline, Rice, Rutherford. --Bertine Sei ler. i -..ggi I Ep..- C ADUCIIQUS 'PWGC' ' 1 The prospects of the first team were not very bright at the beginning of the season, but finally, as interest on the part of the girls increased a creditable team was turned out. Practice was held every morning at eight o'c1ock, since many of the best players were unable to report after school. When the time came to choose the first team there was some keen competi- tion, especially for places in the field. LOS MOLINOS us. CHICO The Hrst game proved to be a set-up for the local girls. Journeying to Los Molinos one afternoon, the Chico team scored 27 points against their oppon- ents' ll. OROVILLE vs. CHICO In the best of condition, the Chico team in high spirits played their second game at Oroville and defeated their time-old rivals to the tune of 27 to 3. DURHAM us. CHICO The third and last game of the season brought about the defeat of the here- tofore unbeatable squad. Durham girls were able to score 17 points to our 6. RESUME Although many of the team are Seniors and will be leaving Chico High in June. the prospects for a championship team next year seem very bright. The Seniors leaving in June are Bertine Seiler, Frankie Estes, and Clara Quistini. All of these girls have been on the lirst team every year of their high school career. . Stella Long and Lois Seiler were the star players of the '28 team. The members of the team included Bertine Seiler, Stella Long, Beatrice Wright, Lois Seiler, Frankie Estes, Clara Quistini, Louise Pulley, Edna Boutwell, Daisy Franks, Lucille Cummings, and Eleanor David. -. 139 L 'nl '1 Q L -ir-Tv-ct-if CADUCEUS GOLF OR THE first time in Chico High School, golfing has been added to the list of sports for the girls. Although not as much interest was shown as Miss McKern had anticipated, a greater showing is expected next year. Miss McKern states that at least golfing has been started and that a team will eventually be formed. I A team was not formed this year, because the girls did not believe that they were advanced enough to play other schools. Lessons were given each week by Mr. Sawyers, manager and instructor at the Chico golf links. He gave the girls some good pointers on gripping, putting and stance. To hit the ball was the task set for the girls to accomplish. The girls showed that they were capable of becoming real golfers. Practice makes perfect is certainly applicable in this case. The girls who went out for golf were: Miss McKern, Maida Lee Hamilton, Eleanor Crouch, Josephine Hall, Pearl Miller, Margaret Waters, Irene Taber, and Zelma Rice. -Zelma Rice. 30304503 GIRLS' TRACK N CHICO HIGH School a new form of athletics for girls has been introduced. This is girls' track. In the physical education classes the girls have been training and now the remaining weeks of school will be gi-:en over to the new sport. Although they have had no chance to compete with any other schools, the girls are very enthusiastic over the idea of having instruction in shot, dis:us, races, relays, high jump, broad jump, and hurdles. New equipment is being obtained especially for the girls. 2050203 GIRLS' TENNIS RYOUTS for the girls' tennis team were called for early this spring. The call was answered and three members were chosen. Two veterans, Margaret Waters and Irene Taber, were among those chosen. Phoebe Jane Sallee was the other member chosen: she signed up for doubles. The team was in excellent condition and played several exciting games with other schools. In May the girls played a practice game with the Oroville tennis teams and displaved their tennis ability by defeating their opponents with an excellent score. The girls have high hopes of turning out a still better team next year, for Miss McKern loses but one girl by graduation.

The playing though exciting was poor. Missouri lost his shooter and broke his finger nail. there- by being disqualified for fur- ther playing. The morale of the team was weakened, and the Chico boys were over- wrought. The lineup was as follows: North, one Hensley: South. the other Hensley: East, Kellogg: West. Byrne.

The chemistry teacher found it necessary to neutralize the alkali, so he poured some sulphuric acid in the eve. However, finding he had an excess of acid, he poured in more ammonium hydroxide. Alas! he now had an excess of alkali, so what could the poor man do but add more acid.

The axe is idle: the sun has set upon the oxen yoke: the miner's pick no longer finds the spoils of earth. The pioneer, his task well done, turns his face towards the West. The pioneer mother. her worn hands strangely idle, wears upon her face a tired. wan smile of exultation that she has given to the world such high ideals of courage, endeavor and reward. Every mile post of our progress gives to us a greater reverence for our sturdy pioneers -that they with bravery unsurpassed should lead the way to what we are and what we are to be. They have left the memory of strong, brave hearts. high ideals and worthy deeds that are to us a priceless heritage. I Wi M Z' S2 WN A plwjm ,MI ?
