Im Slllljj on his our' nofe,- I ', ra' , -,JJ High , PERSONALITIES MIGI-ITY The l94O Caduceus brings to you the faculty as they are outside the classroom. Here are Miss Matthews, Mr. Crane, Mr. Branch, and Miss Cooper. Mr. Branchs mind is probably on his drama class, Miss Matthews' on an English test. ls Mr. Crane looking at a geometrical figure? Miss Cooper is addressing us in Spanish. Now we see Miss Botts, Miss Vadney, Mrs. Robbins, and Mr. Kissling, on a vaca- tion from bookkeeping, typing and math. though Mr. Kissling's probably worrying about the Student Body treasury. Doesn't this make a sweet picture? Mrs. Cowan, Mrs. Walker, Miss Hanson, and Mrs. Madsen. Prom the looks on their faces something pleasant must have happened. Mrs. Cowan is proud of her Latin students, and Mrs. Madsen, Mrs. Walker, and Miss Hanson are elated over their domestic sci- ence classes. This car seems to draw the shop-men to a conference around it. They are Mr. Por- teous, Mr. Pemberton, who is a newcomer, Mr. Dahlman, Mr. Floyd, and Mr, Kin- dig. lt's some old wreck they are going to take apart, l betcha. Ah! The physical education department! We should like to know what Miss Borne- feld is going to do with those poor danfo- dils? Miss Crain is 'much interested in their welfare. Mr. Hensley, Mr. Costar, and Mr. Madsen seem neglected. Yet they have fun, too. Mr. Hensley can always be seen pass- ing the buck to Mr. Madsen, and-did you know? Mr. Costar grew the daffodils. Page Twelve BOARD O1 EDUCATION fLeft to rxghtj Mrs Young Mr Morrow president of the board Mr Martin snpenn tendent of city schools Mr Wesbrook Mr Clewetl Because of illness Mr Cleck nfth member of the board was not present for the picture DILIGENT DIRECTORS Much praise and thanks must be Given the Board of Education for it is this group of interested and enthusiastic men and Women that hold the future of unknown and unmentioned to most people The planning of thc budget the placmg of teachers the length of school days and of the school year are a few of the common problems solved by the board These board members take an ardent interest in our Welfare not because it is an imperative move on their part but because they desire to render service to us It is they who work for the success of our school and it is they for Whom We should give three cheers' Our principal Dr GeorgeR Mclntire has given many hours to planning the curricular and extra curricular activities of Chico High School so that they may be of the most benefit to the students He has tried to solve the changing problems of our school 1n such a Way as will please and benefit the majorxty of the students We owe him thanks for taking the Student Body out of the red and making more activities possible Paqe Eleven Chico High in their capable hands. 'They see the side of education which is left W? MENTORS There's nothing like a good rest in mid- day, is there? Mrs. West, Mrs. Hamilton, Miss Burr, Mrs. Fountain, and Mrs. Kiss- ling take time after their respective English classes to enjoy the sunshine this lounge provides for the women teachers, Ah! Dr. Thomas must be telling about the good old South American Way. Mr. Rinker, Miss Couch, and Mr. Schreiter seem interested. Don't let those bottles give you any wrong ideas-this is the chemistry lab, and these men of the faculty are getting ready for an experiment. Mr. Calhoon has a lit- tle book on hydroponics, and Dr. Mitchell and Mr. Schoen have deserted their geogra- phy classes and are offering their help. Mr. Urlaub and Mr. Paulson are more inter- ested in the camera than in guinea pigs and HZS Crotten egg gas to you, readersj re- spectively. A class in literature? No, just a friendly gathering around Dr. Delf's desk. Mrs. Leisure has found something interesting, probably on music, Dr. Delf and Miss Stansbury are engaged in conversation on art and books. Mr. Olker is no doubt thinking of his beloved orchestra and band. Rally 'round the Hag boys, da, de do,- well, loiter around the flag-pole, anyway. That's just what's happening to Mr. Nor- gaard, who has forgotten the Cadets for the moment, Mr. Leonard, his history class. Mr. Nixon, his math class, Mr. Maxwell, the mechanical drawing pupils, and Mr. Filson, the ag. class and P. F. A. Page Thirteen GOODBYE Paqe Fourteen Gomg going gone' The senior class of 1940 from Chico H1 h school IS ready for its introduction 1nto a new world a more turbulent world of joy and heartbreak They have been turned out as from a 1n11l with equal advantages four years of them Every graduate will seek adventure to his taste a Job maybe but most probably higher education 1n a college or university And some day we may be great personagesl We wonder if the teachers ever thought of the pride tney may have in us some day? Maybe that stuck up Block C boy will ten years from now be head football coach at a university and will send out an All American team That boy who can talk the teachers out of detention every time may then be an eloquent lawyer who started swaying audi ences in Mrs Mary Love Brown s public speaking class Maybe that tenor 1n A Cappella Choir who can t tell whether the notes go down or up and who sings accordingly W1ll be an opera singer of note crediting h1s start in music to Mrs Leisure s perseverance and patience Who knows? Maybe we are now har boring a Mrs Leisure the Second with the same willowy expressive hands needed to lead the hosts of voices X Hunking tests and 1n trying to melt glass Cwhich IS practically impossiblej almost blows up the school may be a screwy chemist and invent some new theory to make the students suffer And think' You may be graduating a future president a man who will lead his country with the integrity which the past four years have fostered 1n his heart or maybe a woman the iirst member of the weaker sex to atta1n the supreme office Mr Branch may have the chance to boast that he has trained another Sarah Bernhardt for a role in the trad1t1onal senior play The boy in Miss Stansbury s color class who can t tell red from green may some day become a great dress designer and do unusual and spectacular things with color combination and harmony His greatest helper may be the girl in Mrs Walker s clothing class now learning to stitch straight Who knows per haps one of Mr Filson s Future Farmers will one day be a distinguished Secretary of Agriculture So we see what may be 1n store' A goodly proportion of graduates will find success and possibly renown 1n a special field of work We might prove that old adage There IS always room at the top of the ladder by reaching the top rung and rema1n1ng there 1n the happiness of plenty for the many full years of our l1ves In any case we may be sure that each may find consolation in these words True happiness 1S the one success 1n 11fe . . v . . .U O r , . so - . , . One of Mr. Paulson's pupils, one of those brainstorms who spends his time . . V . . . , GRADUATES Here we present twelve senior students who during their four years here have started on their way to success by whole-heartedly joining in the activities of the school-by rendering to the fullest degree their loyalty and support. The Student Body ofiicers have brought to you the utmost in enjoyment with their assemblies, dances, and social events. Successful senior meetings have been planned by the senior class oflicers to discuss the senior gift and to decide the difli- culties which every class meets. The Caduceus staff has worked with zeal for many months to publish a book which will meet with your approval. GEORGE LUMAN STRONG-President Stu- dent Body, Science.

ESSENTIAL EXECUTIVES Nucleus of all our organized activities lies in the weekly parliamentary ses- sions ofthe Student Council, the backbone of Chico High. Serving a dual purpose as both legislative and executive departments, this body, headed by George Strong as president, has carried all responsibilities regarding Ways and means. Essential assistants to the president were Bettie Byerly, vice-president: Jane Bicknell, sec- retary: John Merlo, treasurer. Advisers, Mrs. Cowan and Mr. Hensley. Active part was taken in the Marysville convention of the Student Leaders of Northern California in February. The council sponsors and publicizes the monthly Student Body dances. This year a successful variety show was held at Memorial Hall to raise money for the Welfare fund, which has been a great help to many needy students. Rallies and student talent assemblies are all planned by council members. The council sanctions the awarding of Block C's to athletes, all requisitions for money from the Student Body treasury, and, advised by Mr. Kissling, plans the Student Body budget. Seniors this year have been represented by Margie Hall. Herbert Walker, Mary Ellen Eldridge, and Floyd Meinberg: the juniors, by Jane Hume, Herbert Berry, Jean Casebeer, and Mark Briggs: the sophomores, Marian Pillsbury, Carl Travis.

LAUDABLE LEADERS The Armistice Day float, the super-successful Hi-Jinks, the Thanksgiving baskets, Christmas donations to the P. T. A. charity fund-these are the high- lights of this year's G. S. Li, with Bette Watkins as president: Maxine French. vice-president: Mary Helen Lauterio, secretary: Betty Barmann, treasurer: Shirley Black, song leader. Class representatives-freshmen, Diana Strain and Isabelle Bally: sophomores, Flora Nau and Jean Porslund: juniors, Katherine Kaney and Jean Harpster: seniors, Theda Giles and Bettye Armstrong. The capable class leaders need little introduction to most Chico High students, as this group directed the activities of the classes. Page Thirty-eight LATIN LINGUISTS Page Forty With 150 members to lend their support, the J. C. L. is easily the largest and most potential academic organization in school. When in November, 1937, the efforts of Mrs. Cowan, Latin instructor. led to the organization of 32 Latin students into Chico High's branch of this national body, the opponents of ancient knowledge were given a formidable foe. With its present membership, the Chico league is second largest chapter in the United States. Every two weeks the group meets with Mrs. Cowan, the sponsor, to further its purpose of handing on the torch of classical civilization in the modern world. By increased membership, activity has been greatly accelerated during the past year. A consistent feature of the league meetings has been the educational ad- dresses by professional men and women who illustrated the essential value of Latin in most professions. Clarion for the Latineers is the ten-piece J. C. L. orchestra, under the man- agement of Cora Kilpatricrand the leadership of .Albert Summers. holder of an honorary membership as ou handing leader. The orchestra cooperated with the American Legion during Public Schools Week. They also provided music for the open-house exhibit, the big annual event which 'more than any other one thing demonstrated the industry of the league. Oflicers are chosen for a semester term. The fall personnel consisted of Burnett Kelly, president: Cora Kilpatric, vice-president: Jane Bicknell, secretary: Herbert Berry, treasurer: Bette Watkins, historian: Pat Bally, reporter: Ida Marie Gibson and Shirley Black, song leaders. The spring oflicers were Lois Orrell, president: Carl Travis, vice-president: Marian Pillsbury, secretary: Evelyn Kelly, treasurer: Margie Coutolenc, historian: Haroldine Hays, reporter: Phyllis Mitchell, song leader: Gilman McMillan, sergeant-at-arms.

Q -f wmmff ,I Page Forty-one SURVIVING SAGES Page For! y- two When California educational leaders realized that birds of a feather flock together even in schools, their collective efforts resulted in formation of the California Scholarship Federation. Chico's chapter of the C. S. F. was organized in 1921 and has slowly gained in its highly selected membership. New members are admitted each quarter, their acceptance being contingent upon the class ratings they have earned during the previous quarter. Members who fail to maintain their ratings lose their membership. Regular monthly meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month. where they plan library exhibits, and various methods of assisting the busy fac- ulty. The Christmas party with josh presents, games, and refreshments, and the senior picnic are part of their program. Students who have been consistent members throughout their high school career receive special recognition in the form of a life membership, holders of which are seal bearers and are identified by their life membership pins. This year's life members are Helen Marie Pillsbury, Betty Barmann, Bette Watkins, Muriel Tarr, Ida Marie Gibson, Kathleen Wright, May Ohmura. Margaret Anderson, Yoshiko Nakamura, Jean McMillan, Cora Kilpatric, Doris Christensen, Paul Berger, James Chamberlain, Page Davis, Eugene Tapie, John Merlo, and Robert Schell. Two annual district conventions were held in October and April, in Redding and Yuba City respectively. The annual regional convention was held in Marys- ville on April 27. The fall officers of the federation were Helen Marie Pillsbury, president: Gene Tapie, vice-president: Dorothy Whalley, secretaryg Ellis Hamilton, treasurer: Dorothy Dixon, custodian. Spring officers were May Ohmura, president: Bill Snow, vice-president: Jean McMillan, secretary: Kathleen Vwfright, treasurer: Harlow Clarke, custodian. Miss Burr and Mr. Leonard are advisers to the group. CALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION lQUpper picture, left to rightj-Front row: E. Kelly, M. Tarr, O. Poeschel, H. Behring, J. Patocka. J.

DOMESTIC DAMSELS Organized in 1930 as Chico High's contribution to a national movement sponsoring service in school, home and community, development of leadership and scholarship, this group has now doubled its original membership. Forty- iive altruistic girls now keep daily dates with duty and utility, meeting regularly every two weeks to plan their crowded calendar. Their Christmas party with its gifts for poor children, the Easter Egg party, the Home Ec dance, and the joint picnic With the Block UC have become annual events. The annual Home Economic Scholarship signifies the high esteem which the -members hold for the purpose of their group. This year's incumbents are Bonnie XValker, president: June Baumback, vice- president: Emma Uhl, secretary: Emily Uhl, historian: Lucille Cook, point recorder: Margaret Hollinger, program chairman: and Mrs. Madsen, adviser.

AMATE U R AG RARIANS Prophecy for the future of our agrarian development shows clearly in the splendid record of Mr. Pilson's project in agriculture, the outstanding and influ- ential F. P. A. Fellowship, leadership and practical resourcefulness emanate from the activities of this group, which has grown from an infancy of 17 members in 1930 to its present roll of 42. The ribbons of the Butte County and District Pairs and Treasure Island attest to the consistency of their high competitive standards. The annual state convention at San Luis Obispo always sees Chico High well represented, as does the regional convention of Northern California, held each fall. The boys also take stock to the annual marketing day in San Francisco. Oflicers for the fall semester were Bob Wellsfry, president: Eugene Chapman, vice-president: Jack Graham, secretary: Ivan Seiler, reporter. For the spring term, the personnel was Eugene Chap-man, president: Tommy Juanarena, vice-presi- dent: Stanley Lockhart, secretary: Ivan Seiler, reporter.

TRU E-I-I EARTED TRIANGULARS Most conducive to co-operative club formation is the Senior Hi-Y, which, during the last two years, has organized and made proteges of the freshman and sophomore Girls' Hi-Y. The 70 members of the current year have ably nourished their purpose of making high Christian character dominant in their environment, under the prac- tical advisorship of Mrs. Leisure. Each year their program embodies such events as the Christmas party for needy children, the Progressive Dinner, Mothers' Tea, the semi-annual cake sales, and the elaborate annual Northern California convention at Richardson Springs. This year the girls conducted a successful campaign for Lois Orrell as president of the l94l Conference. The group will assist Lois as hostesses and will plan the decorations and theme. The fall oiiicers were Margie Hall, president: Patte Bally, vice-president: Ida Marie Gibson, secretary: Jane Hume, treasurer: Bettie Byerly, sergeant-at-arms. Spring ofhcers were Patte Bally, president: Ida Marie Gibson, vice-presidentg Barbara Means, secretary: Kathleen Wright, treasurer: and Joan Staples, ser- geant-at-arms.

FAITH FUL FACSIMILES Corresponding closely to the other branches of the national Hi-Y organiza- tion in Chico High, this new group, organized in September, 1939, closely paral- lels the activities of the others. Its 25 members have actively supported their Hi-Y purpose of fostering, creating, extending, and maintaining Christian character and high standards in the schools and community. Under supervision of their adviser, Miss Bess Han- sen, these sophomore girls have met each Thursday, carrying on their program, always ready to exercise their resourcefulness, which they demonstrated at their cake sale during the P. T. A. meeting. Following the suggestion of Big Sister Lois Orrell they planned the exhibits in the main bulletin board. They sent three representatives to the Older Girls' Conference at Richardson Springs and next year will help President Lois Orrell as hostesses at the conference. The officers during the fall semester were Marian Pillsbury, president: Phyl- lis Mitchell, vice-president: Evelyn Kelly, secretary, and Betty Briggs, treasurer. The spring semester officers were Marian Pillsbury, president: Ann Rogers, vice- president: Pat Daniels, secretary: and Evelyn Kelly, treasurer.

CARBON COPIES Page Forty-eight Because freshmen are forever emulating their upper classmen in their efforts to dispel their traditional reputation for exaggerated inexperience, the national organizers of the Hi-Y took a hand to assist them. In Chico High. 25 freshman girls have become the youngest proteges of the higher branches and have formed their own unit of the national I-li-Y, under the leadership of Mrs. Hamilton. who guides these recruits through their first chaotic efforts. While most of their Work has been done during the weekly scheduled meet- ings, their past year has been high-lighted by such events as cake sales and sea- sonal caroling. These girls have been very active, giving such pleasurable affairs as a skating party and a progressive dinner. They sent two delegates to the Older Girls' Conference at Richardson Springs and will assist the other clubs in plan- ning the conference next year. Fall officers Were Wildene West. presidentg E.

TROOPING Tl-IESPIANS Before the largest audience a senior play has ever attracted, the class of '40 presented And Let Who Will Be Clever, in a brilliant production. The nearly 1700 people watched with enthusiasm the clever play smoothly enacted. In the title role was Ida Marie Gibson, the innocent country cousin, who took her part with ease and convincing characterization. Jane Bicknell and Gene Tapie, as the mother and father of an erratic family, played their parts excellently, not once falling from character. In the somewhat daffy family were Helen Marie Pills- bury, the ever-eating Aunt Sophie, and Gwyneth Rees, the eccentric grandmother. Then there were the spoiled daughters, Marilyn Zucca and Bette Watkins, and their collegiate brother, Dick Shears. Others were Tony Winn, Floyd Meinberg, Phoebe Miller, Harvey Carter, Burnett Kelly, Margie Parker, and the two ser- vants, Burton Osborn and Jeanette Stokes. The play added a substantial sum to the class treasury. Page Fifty - Y v-gf-,is BGYS' SEXTETTE Clipper picture. left to rightl-G, Tapie. R. Schell. W. Barmann. J. McLain, J, Sheppard. E. Arbuclcle.

VARIABLE VOCALISTS After several attempts to organize a boys' sextette, this year saw the first successful group, under the direction of Mrs. Lucille Leisure, organized by com- petitive tryouts. Starting early in the year and Working steadily through the fall, they were able to gain a sizeable repertoire. They made their first appearance at the Christmas concert, and after that appeared often at clubs and meetings. In the spring concert they sang with the boys' glee to end a first successful year. The most active music group of Chico High is the Girls' Ninettes, under the supervision of Mrs. Leisure. During the nine months they were organized, they built up a repertoire of 30 numbers, suitable for almost every place and occasion. Climax of the year's performances cames at the Older Girls' Conference, Where they were official entertainers. Page Fifty-one 'Tu .X -J fs. E' A CAPPELLA CHOIR fLeft to right?--Front row: l. M.

'Watkins AMBITIGUS A CAPPELLA No other organization in Chico High has made as much progress as the A Cappella choir has the past year. This group of 49 trained voices, under the excellent leadership of Mrs. Leisure, has made a name for itself throughout the school and community. Like previous choirs, its goal was to buy choir robes. Its first effort was in giving a Christmas concert, which proved so successful that it will be an annual affair. 'NVith the proceeds of this concert, added on to a size- able amount donated by the Student Council, the choir saw its dream come true. The first appearance of the robes was made shortly after Easter, when the choir gave the spring concert. The choir was received with much enthusiasm at the annual Music Festival, held in Chico on April 27. Among other activities, the choir Went caroling at Christmas, sang before the P. T. A., Student Body, and -many town organizations. The choir's repertoire includes folk songs of Scotland, France, England. Rus- sia, and Finland as Well as negro spirituals. Their songs have grown increasingly difficult as the group has gained skill, some of them having as -many as seven parts. Humorous madrigals and folk songs vary a program of A Cappella hymns very pleasingly. The group Works as a unit socially as well as vocally, as is proved by a pleas- urable theater party in January, and a picnic at the Sycamore Swimming pool late in May. I The success of this year's glee clubs promises well for next year's A Cappella. Page Fifty -Iwo BOYS' GLEE fLeft to rightl-Front row: E. Wellsfry. D. Miller. B. Andreen. L. Dunham. C. Coen, H.

Their first appearance was at the spring concert where they sang two selections and an encore. At the Music Festival they were equally well- received by the audience. Nlrs. Leisure is assisted by Mrs. Woolsey. who accom- panies the group. Although the Girls' Glee is not as large as in previous years, the group has done outstanding work. Under Mrs. Leisure's direction, they have performed several times throughout the year. After appearing before assemblies and clubs, they climaxed their year with a successful appearance at the Music Festival. Mrs. Woolsey was their accompanist throughout the year. Both clubs will provide members for next year's A Cappella Choir.

Coach Bill Nixon, Coach Ralph Hensley, Coach Tommy Costar, PANORAMIC PREVIEW On Armistice Day the Chico High Panthers football varsity handed Coach Lloyd Maddy Madsen a birthday present he will long remember-the Big Six football championship for 1939. It came after the midget-like Panthers had battered the big, but helpless, Oroville Tigers 20-0 in the final game of the year, topping an undefeated league season. The Panthers' basketball team won seven out of the ten league games. Coach I-Iensley's hoopsters lost only to Marysville, Oroville, and Yuba City. Coach William Bill Nixon's baseball team felt the loss of Benny Farmer, veteran pitcher of 1939, very keenly throughout the unsuccessful 1940 season. The limited and unlimited track teams added another feather to the hat of Tommy Costar, who has coached Chico High's track teams for twenty-three years, when they won the N. C. H, S. A. L. championship for 1940, C Page Fffly-nine BLOCK C 1940 fmsx in BLOCK C iLeft to right! Second row: H. Berry. M. Flores, H o . A. Summers, G. Fish. B. French. B. Alldrcclge. B. Yuhnke, M. Kitchen J.

VICTORIOUS VARSITY The coaching technique of Maddy Madsen placed at the head of the league a football team that could boast of but a 145-pound backlield and a 150-pound line, but Which. through its deceptiveness and grit, swept over every other squad in the league-Oroville, Red Bluff, Redding, Yuba City, and Marysville. The fundamentalsuof football-the 'most important lessons to prepsters- carried the Panthers to the championship. With but a 150-pound line they pushed opponents out of the way who had a 50-pound advantage, because they knew how to dig in a drive. The light line opened the way for the even lighter backfield, one that averaged but 145 pounds but which used deceptiveness to outskirt opponents, The Panthers' greatest scoring threats came from the talented passing arm of Earl CRedj Watson and the glue-like hands of end Tony Winn. The league ga-me scores were as follows: Redding 12, Chico 20: Yuba City O, Chico 12: Red Bluff O, Chico 7: Marysville O, Chico 6: Ctoville O, Chico 20.

CELEBRATED CINDERMEN Chico High's limited and unlimited track teams swept through an all but unblemished season to capture the Big Six track and field championship from the five other schools represented in the league, and added another championship to the uncountable ones already held by Lloyd ffommyj Costar's fleetfoots. The Panthers' championship performance came under cloudless skies on the Panther oval, and with the heat loosing muscles, made 16 Big Six records fall. The unlimited Panthers scored 51 points and the limited thinclads, 42, Only defeat of the season came when the Panthers stepped out of their class into the Roseville invitational and were buffered by the mighty McClatchy High school squad of Sacramento. Other than that, the Panthers won five meets in walkaway finishes. Page Sixty-four .1 X ACCE LERATED ACTION Costar relied on the performances of Maurice Duensing, probably the out- standing unlimited athlete: Hilario Rocha, in the -mile: Earl Watson, broad jump and relayg Sheldon Witt and George Fish in the hurdles: John Merlo, shot put: and the extra point-winning of Jack McDaniels, Darwin Simmons, and Jim Koutchis in the football throw, until Jim was barred with an injury early in the season. The limited class was held down by the championship wins of Jim Maroney, undefeated in competition this year. Maroney broke both existing records in the 120 and 160-yard low hurdles in the Big Six meet. Climaxing a successful season the limited and unlimited divisions won the N. C. H. S. A. L. championship by nosing out the Westwood bullets in the unlimited class 27M to 24M and Oroville in the limited 32 to 19.

RAMBLIN6 RACKETEERS Superiority of other Big Six tennis squads in the singles division, proved a nemesis to the Chico High school men tennis players, and it was only through the technique of the doubles squads that the Panthers could break through with a needed win in some matches. When the Panthers won, and that was seldom, it was due -mainly to the victories of the doubles squads, not the singles. The doubles teams were made up of Russell Bales and Hugh Davis, Hrst doubles: Cliff Bales and George Kino- shita, second doubles: Bill Snow and Mark Briggs, third doubles. The singles team was composed of Bob Anderson, number one singles, and Jack Henning, number two singles. The girls' tennis team this year did not enter the league, because of the late start in getting organized. No matches were won, although many games were played with other school teams. The players on the singles and doubles teams were changed about at the first of the season, but later were grouped according to their playing ability. The doubles teams were made up of Alice Crawford and Wilma Reed, first doubles: Shirley Hinton and Kathleen Wriglat, second doubles: Mary Helen Lauterio, and Dorothy Whalley, third doubles. Jean McMillan, number one singles, and Barbara McCausland, number two singles, comprised the singles tea-m. Page Sixty-seven GIRLS' BLOCK C CUpper picture. left to rightj-Sittin7: E. Lucas.

ACTIVE AMAZONS Completing a successful second year, the Girls' Block C club is ready to close its schedule for the year. Being a service club, it has rendered its services to the school in many ways: the most outstanding of these is patrolling and keep- ing order in assemblies. All in all, these girls deserve a lot of credit. Oiiicers for the year were Jean McMillan, president: Mary Ellen Eldridge, vice-president: Betty Barmann, secretary-treasurer: Jean Keely, yell leader. During the past year, the Girls' Athletic Association has accomplished a great deal to further athletics in after-school sports. April l3 a basketball sport day was held, with Orland, Redding, and Oroville taking part. Following each season of sports, 'ifeeds were held. SENIOR HOCKEY TEAM CTop, left to figmp-from row: B.

This year, as in years past, hockey was a very successful sport. A hard fought battle was played between the seniors and the sophomores, but because of their more experienced players and a better understanding of the game the seniors proved themselves the better. Enthusiasm was high and the turn-out was so great that the freshmen had enough girls to make two complete teams. Well, says Theda, whose picture is on the previous page, Jean won't get the ball! In the circle are the champion badminton players of both noon and after- school sports. Interest in badminton is growing from year to year as more girls learn to play the game. Alice Crawford can be seen waiting for the bird which is in mid-air. The sophomores took the honors from the other teams in after-school volley- ball this year. Marjorie Coutolenc and her team have really gone for volleyball in a big way, playing more volleyball in their two years of high school than most girls play in four. Shirley Mae Soderholm seems to be having quite a time, but Helen Lovin, perched ready for the return, is certain she will miss the ball. On the opposite page we see the noon-sports volleyball champions. Florence Kenworthy and her champs have all played hard and have come out on top. Whoops! Helen, you should have stretched a little more to get that one. The center group is the last year's combined junior and senior baseball team. Because of the lack of players for each group they went together, forming a cham- pionship team. Strikel You had better be careful, Theda, or you will be out. The snappy little catcher is none other than Mary Helen Lauterio. Ah! Last, but not least, the mighty senior basketball tea-ml With a lot of work and hard practice they captured the much-longed-for championship from the sophomores. Shirley Mae Soderholm and Alice Crawford both have their eyes on that ball. Jump high! May the better one Win. Alice has an advantage over Shirley Mae-she's taller.

Don has won an untarnished reputation for honesty, but we are afraid his interest in science may be leading him astray. What have you to say for your- self, Don? Jack Henning is the next subject. The tennis ball is absorbing his attention at the moment. Jack is going to be editor of Red and Gold next semester. and we look for the same kind of action there that he is showing here. One step over, and we find Mr. Paulson checking up on the Einstein theory. How is it, Mr. Paulson? Correct? Our chemistry teacher usually doesn't have much time to read during classes, as he has to keep his eyes on the students. The handsome boy we see standing on his head is Herbert Buzzy Walker, The two boys helping him with his gy-mnastics are 'iDagwood Johnson and James Broyles. Buzzy must have wriggled at the wrong moment, for he seems to have wiped out one side of his face. The victim to the right is Mr. Branch, who is reading the senior play to the cast. This was early in the rehearsal stage, as you can see by his happy expres- sion. Later, Mr. Branch registered all the tragic emotions with appropriate ges- tures. Every year Mr. Branch prepares to lose about ten pounds while rehearsal is going on. Farrell Larremore is apparently getting the third degree from Top Sarge Bill Emmett. Come on, Bill. Don't be so hard on the boy. Farrell is tops in baseball, even if he isn't so much with the rifle, Maybe he would be better off if he used the rifle as a baseball bat. At the lower left-hand corner We find Roy Fuller doing the mile. Roy is a newcomer and only a sophomore. Though his record doesn't yet equal Hilaric Rocha's, we are sure it will in time, Step it up, Roy-only three more laps to go. Apparently the Christmas spirit has got into Bob Taggart, who is doing a line job portraying an angel. Supporting players who appear in the cast are John Tazuk and Art Spicer. The background is the illuminated group the boys in the electric shop placed on the lawn at Christmas time. Don't flap those arms, Bob, or you will take off for sure. The last snap is of 'IMuscles James Sheppard again. Here he is flirting with a nose dive from the bars. Jimmie really gave Chico High students some rare treats when he demonstrated his tumbling acts for them this year.
