MR. CADUCEUS The Senior boy who was voted to occupy with Nadine the seat of honor is the Boys' Block C candidate, Ed Smith. Although the first days of the contest did not find Ed in the lead, the Block C enthusiastically campaigned for him, and soon they pushed the name of Smith to the top of the list and kept it there. Ed is himself, of course, a member of the Block having earned blocks in basketball and baseball. He rose to fame on the hardwood, not alone because of his height, but because of his skill. Willing to take part in any school activity, Ed could be found participating in noon rallies and skits. In these snaps below, we see Ed in everyday life. The center picture shows him eating a hearty breakfast with the thrilling escapades of Captain Easy to occupy his attention almost as much as the food. In the upper right corner we see Ed at the mechanical drawing board con- centrating on a problem. The lower right picture shows him at his favorite occupation, tinker- ing with his car. This takes up to gr-eat deal of his spare time. ln the center picture our two outstanding candidates and winners of the year are shown together. Always with a friendly greeting for everyone, their magnetic personalities have won for them the honor of Mr. and Miss Caduceus by an overwhelming vote of the students. With their qualities of leadership and friendliness they will be the true leaders of the future, and we wish them all the luck possible.

MISS CADUCEUS ffqraa-, . ,air The girl who was chosen by vote to occupy the seat of honor in our 1946 stagecoach is Nadine Broyles. This popular Senior is well known for her cheerful smile, keen sense of humor, and good will toward all who know her. The honor of being Miss Caduceus is not the only one bestowed upon her. She has been very active in various organizations and was president of the Girls' Student League this year. Through her capability, the League had a very successful season. Above are some snaps of Nadine, typical of her day's activities. In the upper left picture we see her conducting with grace and poise one of the G. S. L. meetings at Memorial Hall. The upper center picture shows Nadine in her biology class, studying up on wild flowers. Over in the lower left corner picture she is applying her make-up at the start of the day. Our last pic- ture shows her studying in the evening, or perhaps making plans for the next G. S. L. meeting. The club which so very successfully backed Nadine in this year's campaign was the Senior Hi-Y, of which she is a member. This organization always enters wholeheartedly into the activities it undertakes. With their co-operation around school and their support at the Hi-Y Conference at Richardson Springs it is little wonder that they managed to bring their candi- date to victory. The members of this active group have enjoyed 'many successful events in this past year, and it is hoped that as new girls join their ranks they may gain much from their work in serving others as they follow the motto of the organization, Page I0

. . . PASSENGERS These are the pass-engers of 1946, who have come through the year on the Chico High Stagecoach. They have had a good trip: they are bringing some gold safely home, As these seasoned travelers depart, they leave behind them a splendid record. On the first lap of their jour- ney the class of 1946 entered into the spirit of High School enthusiastically. However, the first day of school found the Freshmen as green as in all pre- vious years-buying tickets to the swimming pool on the gym, wandering through the halls, and looking for the third floor. These dazed passengers finally got onto the ropes and despite l the War year, made a fine start l in High School life. , As Sophomores, this class made a name for themselves by presenting the Sophomore Ba- zaar. The proceeds of this out- standing success wer-e turned over to the Junior Red Cross. Besides the feature of the eve- ning, the Gay Nineties Variety Show, the Sophomores worked just as hard on the side shows, such as fortune-telling, grab bags, games and dancing. This evening was one to be long remembered by everyone who attended. l They have had a good trip. Finally upperclassmen, the passengers put on a highly successful Junior Prom, with Mexi- can Hayridef' the theme of a popular Broadway Play, carried out in the decorations and pro- gram. Another hitch in their belt was the hilarious Junior Play, Grandma Pulls the String, a comedy in one act. It centered around an old-fashioned grandma who believed that the only way to propose was on blended knee, and who finally saw her dream come true. On Christmas Eve the players put on their production before fthe hospitalized men of Chico Army Air Field. On the evening of June 2, 1945, the passelngers proved their capability and efliciency by handling the Senior Farewell. Using the romantic theme of Moonlight and Roses, the dec- oration committee transformed Memorial Hall into a Southern garden, surrounded by white picket fences, roses, and lawn swings, and lighted by moonlight. The large attendance, dreamy atmosphere, and smooth music of the Oroville Tigers helped to make this dance one of the most outstanding Senior Farewells Chico High has ever seen. Throughout years to come these depart- ing Seniors will undoubtedly hold this last dance in fond memory. x Page IZ
