Situated on a hillside, we may gaze across the white-crested waves or span the ethereal heights of the giant sempervirens and receive that spark which drives men on to greater achievements. Indeed, we of Humboldt State are fortunate. It remains for us to use this natural setting as an inspiration to higher learning.

The life and inspiration of an institution—of “Our College” is intangible but apparent to us all as we meet in our daily activities at Humboldt. . . . This year marks another year of achievement. high scholastic attainments again being a crowning factor. Students have shown an increasing interest in high standards and those transferring to other institutions have excelled. . . . Our college activities on the athletic field have been characterized by good sportsmanship and keen competition. Other activities such as music and dramatics have been high in educational and spiritual values and have won the admiration of all who have been privileged to hear them. . . . Our physical plant is being improved by a fine new dormitory-commons building surpassed in few colleges. Other campus improvements have further increased our pride in Humboldt. . . . When we speak of “Our College”, our pride is genuine as we feel that we have all had a part in all our achievements. Vice. PneAi e it Because of its moderate size, Humboldt State College affords many opportunities for democratic living. . . . Full participation in class discussion and personal contact between instructor and student enable the latter to develop traits of leadership. Likewise, participation in student body government affords an opportunity for young men and women to assume responsibility and to gain a practical appreciation of the duties and privileges of popular government. Particularly in this respect Humboldt State College performs a vital function in northwestern California. Dr. Homer P. Balabanis I Ue fyooiMy Most any evening genial Maurice Hicklin, professor of English, can be seen strolling down Redwood Lane with his dog, Holly”. Alma M. Folsom, associate professor of English, is the inspiration for many a potential writer of essays. . . . Sarah M. Davies, secretary to President Gist, has this year added to her list of duties that of shorthand teacher. Bert F. Wilson, professor of Commerce, produces secretaries whose excellent training has been highly praised by their employers. Imogene B. Platt, beside teaching English, Spanish, and Shorthand, keeps a motherly watch over the residents of Sunset Hall who affectionately call her Mattie”. . . . Indispensable in the teaching of balance, rhythm, and harmony” is Mrs. Stella Sankey Little, head of the Art Department. Elma McCann Folsom Maurice Hicklin Sarah Davies Imogene Platt Bert Wilson Stella Sankey Little Dr. William M. Lanphere, associate pro-iessor of Biological Science, is not only unsurpassed in botanical knowledge, but is an accomplished equestrian and skiier. His hobbies are shared enthusiastically by his wife, Mrs. Hortense Lanphere, the charming instructor of Humboldt's new course in ichthyology. Fred L. Telonicner, assistant professor of Biological Sciences, recently returned from a leave of absence spent at Stanford University. As lecturer in Biological Sciences, Dr. Doris Gillespie Niles can inform any student about frogs, worms, or amoebas, and make them enjoy it. Associate professor of Physical Science, Dr. Harry D. MacGinitie is known as Mac” to the fortunate few, and well-known to all for his quick come-backs. . . . Dr. Vernon L. Tolle, Director of the College Elementary School, is a boon to prospective teachers who gradute from Humboldt. William Lanphere Hortonso Lanphere Fred Telonicher Doris Gillespie Niles Harry MacGinitie tyaculUf, Ruth E. Bestor and Belle L. Dickson are associate professors of Education in charge of supervision at the College Elementary School. Noted for his friendliness and helpfulness is Henry T. Cluxton, teacher in the College Elementary School. Leo G. Schussman, professor of Education, instills in the minds of future teachers the psychological approach to teaching problems. . . . Miss Dorothy L. Dale is part-time instructor in string and brass instruments. Other part-time instructors include Rowena Faye Jackson, who teaches Piano, Frederick R. Leonard, lecturer in Education, Miss Neva Cavanaugh, also lecturer in Education, and John Van Duzer of the Music and Drama Departments. . . . George Dana Kinsman, associate professor of Music, is the capable director of the A Capella Choir, the College Symphony Orchestra, the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs. Many a student has emerged from Miss Helen M. Garvin's ear training classes with a newly acquired vocal ability. Edmund V. Jeffers, associate professor of Music, is spending his two year's leave of absence at Columbia University. Helen M. Garvin Vernon O. Tolle Ruth E. Bestor Boll© L. Dickson Edmund V.

Hart. Coach is well-known for his enthusiasm for cleanliness in sports. Monica W. Hadley, associate professor of Physical Education, is often mistaken for one of our own co-eds. Her course in ballroom dancing is one of the most popular classes offered at Humboldt. Harry E. Griffith is a new addition to the Physical Education Department this year, and according to student opinion, a valuable asset to the college. . . . Silent and unassuming outside of class but the model college professor in class is Homer L. Arnold, professor of Mathematics and Philosophy. Dr. Raymond H. Fisher has been the bane of many a history student's existence when it came to writing essay questions on Feudalism , or the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire. Raymond Fisher Homer Arnold Adella Johnson Garff B. Wilson William C. Hoppe John Van Duzor 7U Adella M. Johnson, better known as Mademoiselle , is quite adept at obtaining the required hours of study from her French students. ... In his first year as associate professor of Drama and Speech, William C. Hoppe has done much to increase the dramatic reputation of Humboldt State. Garff Bell Wilson, associate professor of Speech, is spending his sabbatical at Cornell University. . . . Pop' Jenkins, professor of Industrial Arts, has been the chief cook at many a doughnut feed and taffy pull. . . . Confronting Ellen J. Walter is the task of teaching women students the finer points of hostess training and costume designing. Horace Jenkins Ellen Waltor OJJficeSlA, Mrs. Brookings, Miss Winkler, Mrs. Woodcock Mrs. McKittrick, Miss Spoior. Mrs. Myrtle McKittrick, Registrar, is never too busy to help some puzzled Freshman over the problem of course changes. She knows the inside story on every student's index and is particularly allergic to students who try to over-load. Claire Speier, assistant Registrer, can be seen most any hour of the day in the Registrar's office typing permanent records of various and sundry things for the files. . . . The task of keeping track of financial affairs of Humboldt is left to Mrs. Woodcock, Financial Secretary. Miss Winkler, her assistant, is better known as Em” and a loyal rooter at all of the college functions. Mrs. Brookins, Financial Secretary to the Student Body, whose job is to keep books for all student affairs, is well-known to students who must pay their room and board every month. . . . Few Humboldt co-eds have failed to have confidential talks with Dean of Women Monica Hadley. Her primary task is to adjust Freshmen women to college life. . . . Edward C. Graves, Librarian, has one of the most difficult jobs in college. It's no easy task to maintain silence in a library such as Humboldt's which is filled to capacity almost every hour of the day. Mr. Graves has Miss Helen Everett as his very capable assistant. . . . Consoler of physical ills is Dr. Jenkins. Doc”, in his capacity of College Physician, has mended many a torn ligament and painted many a sore throat. dr. Graves Mrs. Everett Monica Hadley Doc Jenkins Q cJ cde. MaM cjeSi Robert Madsen, Graduate Manager W A much-needed addition was made to the administration of the college this year when Robert Madsen was appointed Graduate Manager of the Associated Students. 'Bobs'' tasks are many and varied. It's his job to put Humboldt State on the map. Not only does he visit all the High Schools in the Redwood Empire but he has the added responsibility of making everything run in smooth working order at the football games and other athletic contests. In other words, he must give the sports fans the most for their money. Bob also sends publicity articles concerning campus activities to newspapers in various parts of the country thus advertising our college. Bob's slogan, which has become the slogan of the college, is Boost Humboldt State in the Redwood Empire. Bob at one of his many Tasks . . . meeting now students, and helping them to establish themselves comfortably at Humboldt. AteocicUed Stwdesiti To establish ideals of honesty and fair play in every phase of student life; to further athletics and all other student activities; to develop cooperation between the faculty and the students; and to nurture a feeling of loyalty to our school—these are the purposes of the Associated Students. Under the able leadership of Sherman Washburn the largest student body of Humboldt's history accomplished satisfactorily these aims. Because of the cooperation of the Associated Students, dances, rallys, bean feeds, and programs were successful. The biggest single issue accomplished in the matter of scholarship was the establishment of a probation system. In the field of sports the entrance of Humboldt into the Far Western Conference was a definite step forward. Every meeting proved to have something of interest in the way of entertainment or impromptu talks by students or faculty. Pres. Sherman V ashburn Sec. Hazel Hagne V. Pres. Snooky Edsall Treas.

Of course, it's the Executive Council meeting to hash over the problem of the financial status of the student body. When budgets are issued to the student body it is the work of the Council which makes available this information for student use. Though the budget often becomes the target of fiery debates in the Student Body meetings, in the final analysis, the council's work is usually found to be satisfactory to the great majority of the students. To enforce college traditions and to have jurisdiction in all matters of student discipline are the most important duties of the Board of Control, and these duties are the subject of much discussion on the part of the students and faculty. The matter of Social Unit etiquette has been a problem which the Board of Control has had to face innumerable times. It is also the duty of the Board to pass on all names recommended to them by the athletic managers for award of school emblems, as well as to interpret the Constitution for the students.

Sesuosi ClaAA '40 With four long years ahead of them, the seniors as freshmen thought they would never end, but now that those years have finally come to a close, the adult members of the Humboldt State student body cast a rather wistful glance backward. Their college life has been spent casually, whether wisely or not; and not until there are few of them left do they realize how precious were those past four years. Feverish studying at midnight for finals because of idle moments spent on the South End” or in the ”S. U.' are all a part of the past. The student teachers may now sigh with relief because the trials and problems of the Training School are no more. . . . But the Seniors look forward a bit fearfully; can the careless, free joy of the last four years ever be found again? Only the slow sweep of the hands of time will answer.

McClure Dungan Woodcock Caltoft Olson Vincent Eggert Delp Rasella Mahan Only one short year until they will be classed as high and mighty seniors, the juniors are beginning to realize that the time is growing short, so their efforts are increased toward raising indexes and carrying increased responsibility in the way of sponsoring various social functions. . . . The juniors may gaze on queening and paddling and recall that only one short year ago they were actively engaged in similar pursuits. Because of the fact that seniors are concentrating on student teaching and other activities, and freshmen and sophomores are engaged in various quarrels and adjustments to college life, it is the task of the juniors to maintain the athletic and scholastic standards. A goodly number of juniors have dis-tinguished themselves in athletics as well as scholarship. . . . SofduHncvie ClcM ol '42 Henry Trione. Pres. There's nothing quite so satisfying as being able to tell a lowly Freshman what to wear, how to wear it, and whom to speak to. Ask any Sophomore. Having wiped that first year of uncertainty and greenness from their eyes, the Sophs” literally run the school for the first semester, or so the concensus of opinion seems to be among the lowly Freshmen. . . . But, there is a more serious side to becoming a Sophomore. These men and women have reached the half-way marker in the path of college life The Sophomores come to the realization that they shall be the men and women of tomorrow, and veins of thought become deeper and more determined.

Pres The Sophs’ pride was deeply wounded when the Frosh engaged them in a pitched battle which ended in a draw during the Frosh-Soph Brawl. But never let it be said a Freshman even so much as equals a Sophomore. This disgrace heaped on the Sophs caused them to see red. and, as a result, the Freshmen rules were enforced to the letter. . . . The Sophomores distinguished them- selves by sponsoring the Frosh Return Dance which had as a theme Confucius Say . College-wide acclaim passed to the Sophomores for original thought on this dance.

Humboldt, on the first day of registration, was over-run v ith entering Freshmen. New faces were seen in every corner of the campus. The Freshmen numbered well over the 200 mark, the largest class ever to enter Humboldt. The Sophomores trembled in their boots when they witnessed this vast army swarming on College Hill, but they soon found that these “Infants of Humboldt” were good sports v hen it came to wearing black stockings, dark-rimmed glasses, and no make-up. Many a freshman woman was dunked under the faucet for disobeying rules, and the renowned paddle was always to be found in use on some reprobate Freshman lad. But these extra-curricular activities only added to the thrill of being a college Freshman. This class was united by a spirit which neither they nor the Sophomores will soon forget.

The Freshmen were cooperative in all campus activities, in spite of the fact that Sophomores were the sponsors of some of these events. Even dinks were considered no disgrace, and the Frosh men wore theirs with a debonair air. . . . The number of Freshmen who made the Honor Roll caused much elation amongst the faculty as well as in the Freshman class itself. Freshman athletes turned out enthusiastically for football, basketball, track, and baseball and did more than their share toward boosting the reputation of Humboldt.

The business men of the county have nothing but the highest praise for the commercial graduates from our college. Those students who desire the college atmosphere, as well as the expert secretarial training essential in most lines of work, may receive both at Humboldt. . . . Graduation of commercial students is held the same time as the formal graduation of other students, and has now become an established custom. Because of the variety of business subjects offered and the reputation of its graduates in the business world, the commercial department increases in size and importance each year.

Serving as an introduction to the association for frosh, a musical program was offered at the start of the fall semester. Next, the Men's Association, jointly with the A. W. S. and W. A. A..sponsored a send-off dinner for the football team just before the trip to Davis to play the Cal-Aggies. This was held in the Commons and was better attended than any other event of its kind. . . . After a long spell without activities, the association came back in a big way with the Bigger, Bam Dance , acclaimed as the best dance of the year -as usual! Bud Villa v as general chairman, and put on a truly great Shindig . Finally, on May 17, the long-awaited men's picnic was held on the Van Duzen River with George Hartman as its very successful chairman. For this event alone, members considered their quarters a good investment. In a more serious vein, the Men s Association again continued to award two scholarships to local high-school graduates outstanding in athletics and scholarship.

Though an organization in its infancy, the Associated Women Students of Humboldt State College has shown itself to be a valuable organization by creating a general feeling of cooperativeness and good will among Humboldt students. . . . Such activities as the Frosh Roundup are made possible through the efforts of its members. Much credit and praise should be given the A. W. S. for the Drill Team which helped to make half-time at the football games more colorful and diversified for the pleasure of the football fans. . . . Always an important affair, the Mother's Day Tea this year was more successful than in former years due to the leadership of the A. W. S. committee chairmen. Also listed among its duties are the Freshman Tea and an annual dance for the student body. . . . This year the A. W. S. was repre- sented at two conferences of its parent organization, the Western Intercollegiate Association of College Women. One held at Modesto Junior College and the other at the University of Oregon. Officers are: President, Rose Ivancich; Vice-president.

McGrath Chi Sigma Epsilon, the upper division honor society, was founded in 1930 to recognize outstanding students and to encourage high scholarship. The difficulty of being elected to membership is amply proved by the fact that only forty-three students in all have been elected as members. . . . Two of the functions carried out by the society are the presentation of a medal to the outstanding freshman student each year, and the awarding of a scholarship to an entering freshman, which is financed by the annual Scholarship Benefit program. . . The Rousers, Sophomore honor society sponsored by Chi Sigma Epsilon, are selected on the basis of scholarship and participation in student affairs. This society is the Little Sister” of Chi Sigma and assists the senior society in its various activities. A skating party and progressive dinner for both societies was planned by the Rousers this year. Back Row:—Look. Hunt. Borneman, Dunston, Miller, Riddle. Front Row:—Nye, Larsen, Wilson.

That savory odor of good food which frequently greets the nostrils of the passers-by while walking down the hall, usually comes from the social unit kitchen where members of Sigma Epsilon Rho are preparing a meal for their members and guest speakers.

A. is open to student teachers and members of the curriculum and Teaching II and III classes, and since it's organization in 1937 it has become a leading organization in the field of education. . . . The purpose of the organization is to establish and maintain a high standard of ethics among student teachers, to promote friendship and understanding, to discuss problems to the teaching field, and to bring the students and supervisors together in social contacts. Monthly meetings are held either at homes of members or in the college social unit. These meetings are well attended and offer interesting programs centered on educational trends as well as enjoyment through social games and refreshments. . . .

KudUAxjCiAteti Club The Kindergarten Club, sponsored by Miss Bestor, Supervisor of the Primary Department, draws its membership from students in any year of college who are interested in primary grades and kindergarten. The club has a worthy purpose, to make it fun to come to school . Judging by the increased enrollment in the kindergarten and the many happy faces there, the club has achieved its aim. . . . This club has various ways of keeping busy during their monthly meetings. They make doll clothes for the dolls, paint the furniture, and each year they plan the Christmas party and give presents to the kindergarten students. They also contribute toys to the room. Their big project this year was to make costumes which are to become permanent properties of the kindergarten. . . .

This music club was organized in the fall semester, and boasts a membership of over 30 members. Club members are music majors and minors and students possessing outstanding musical talent. Miss Helen M. Garvin, advisor of the group, may be accredited with the idea of creating such an organization—a much needed addition to Humboldt's list of organizations. Kenneth Samuelson was elected as the club's first president. Carolyn Crane, vice-president, and Beverly Bullock, secretary. . . . Already this year. Mu Epsilon Psi has brought hidden talent to the surface by sponsoring an amateur hour with Richie Jarboe as the Major. Natural comedians, gifted coloratura and lyric sopranos, baritones, and accomplished instrumentalists contributed their share toward making the program a success.

Organized May 13th, 1939 by the Chico Chapter, this group of Humboldt Co-eds, now numbering 17 members, has made praiseworthy progress in boosting the social life of Humboldt. . . . The annual installation of members is the occasion for the donning of formals and the use of a ritual. The St. Patrick's Morning breakfast and the Fall Sport Dance are two other annual activities sponsored by the organization. This year Mutsihito was invited to attend the annual Spring Formal held at Chico State College on April 27th. Organized in 1938 by Reverend Waggoner for the purpose of personal development among college women, the Kampus Koeds has succeeded admirably in carrying out its function. Though not an outstandingly active social organization, this group of college women believes in and attempts to develop the moral and mental qualities of the women of the future. . . . The five charter members are: Dorothy Fountain, Irma Hugnin, Alberta Starkey. Verda German, and Helen Arnold. In charge of publicity is Rose Dare, Social Chairman is Alberta Starkey, and Program Chairman is Jacky Naggair.

President Fred Jackson, Secretary Though it was organized only one year ago, the College Ski Club has accomplished as much as any other organization in college. The Lumberjack Ski Lodge on Grouse Mountain. built by the members of the club, is a praiseworthy example of its achievements. Every nail, board, and piece of glass used in its construction was obtained by ingenious methods, such as tearing down old huts, receiving donations from various Lumber companies, and now and then buying lumber at rock-bottom prices from a friend of somebody's relative. Starting last year with 10 members, this year it has grown to a membership of 60. The lodge is not furnished inside, but by next year the club members hope to have red-checkered curtains at every stream-lined window, and paint on the walls and floor. A Snow carnival was sponsored by the club in February which proved to be a tumbling success, as can be proven by any of the beginning skiiers. Praise is due Dr. William Lanphere, who not only drew up the plans for the cabin, but also undauntingly through sleet and rain helped President Pete Domeyer and other club members to complete the job.

Two deputation teams of “Y members presented programs of interest in many local communities this year. A series of Inter-Faith discussion groups were sponsored by the club, in which notable speakers of several churches participated. The 'Y also sent Allan Lowry as representative to the Asilomar conference. . . . The object of this club is to seek a better knowledge of Christian fellowship, and to carry out a program of work at H. S. S. that will show “the Christian Way of Life . The Tap Club, whose big event each year is an assembly program in the spring semester, is an organization sponsored by the W. A. A. for the purpose of promoting interest and participation in tap dancing. Membership in the Tap Club is limited to those who have participated in tap or clogging classes and then are accepted by present members of the club and Mrs. Hadley. The Tap Club assembly, a variety program of dancing and music, is a result of the effort put forth by the members and is always an event received enthusiastically by the students of Humboldt.

The Block H Society, composed of winners of athletic letters at Humboldt has as its chief function the awarding of letters and honor sweaters. This year three white honor sweaters were awarded to three outstanding athletes. They were Frank Saunderson, Snooky Edsall, and Jim Cady. Other winners of this award who attended Humboldt this year are Francis Givins, Earl Meneweathed, Nick Barbieri, Vernon Thornton, Laverne Elmore, and Bill Farber. . . . At the close of basketball season the Block ”H sponsored a basketball game between the Humboldt Varsity and a picked team of all-stars from the district. Proceeds from this game made the first contribution to the society's tereasury. TdJitUfl Overt, tJlwtttfJolM'' The most exciting course at Humboldt State College, without a doubt, is the course in aeronautics, a new and important addition to the curriculum of Humboldt. Eager applicants rushed to sign up for this course, in which theoretical and practical training in flying is given with the assured objective of a private pilot's license. However, a rigid physical examination and other requirements would not admit all those who wished to take the course. Ground training got under way, followed by instruction flights, and finally, one by one. each aspiring aviator was ready to solo . Soon even the novelty of soloing wore off and the flyers looked eagerly toward the end of the course in June, when, passing the examination, they would become licensed pilots. ♦ C T I V I T I Maxine Maxwell, Editor SeMtp,eA4MA vi mo Jim Hall, Photographer Henry Triono, Business Mgr. “There are two things to aim at in life; first, to get v hat you v ant, and after that, to enjoy it.

This can easily be applied to the staff on this year's Sempervirens — they wanted to get the annual completed, first, and then they wanted to be able to enjoy it.

One loti This year, a great deal of work has been carried on by college thespians in producing one-act plays. Since there are a limited number of parts in each play, the addition of one-act plays lends an opportunity for almost all students interested in dramatics to perform. . . . These plays are presented for the student body and for service clubs. They create good-will and interest outsiders in college dramatics. . . . Student directors in the class of Theory and Art of Play Production numbered two this year. Miss Elinor Buck presented a play in the Chinese manner with the following students in the cast: Betty Fay, Sheldon Reaume, Fern Blakey, Robert Pinches, La Verne Elmore, Lenaire Locke, Stanley Roscoe, Edith Davis, Elsie Anderson, and Mary Caprile. Miss Vivian Larson presented a lecture type play with Richard jarboe, Maxine Maxwell and Casper Torp in the cast. . . .

Humboldt State originated the idea and is the only college on the coast to exchange plays with two schools each year. “Squaring the Circle”, a comedy, was presented by Chico State College at Humboldt. . . .

In the eight years since this musical group was organized, it has established an enviable reputation for itself, and is well-known from Crescent City to Southern California. This year the choir consisted of thirty-two voices under the direction of G. Dana Kinsman. The Tulip Tea was the occasion for the choir's initial performance and at that time the Alma Mater, as arranged by Mr. Kinsman, was sung for the first time by any Humboldt choir. . . . Crescent City, Eureka. South Fork. Ferndale, Fortuna. Hoopa, and Areata High Schools, are only a few places at which the choir appeared. Officers elected for the year were Marjorie Wing. President; Maxine Maxwell, Vice President; Hazel Hagne, Secretary-Treasurer. . . . The Spring Concert this year included the choir singing representative numbers from their repertoire, as well as the women's glee club. The College Little Symphony Orchestra of twenty-five pieces presented for the first time in the history of the music department, a symphony in its entirety, the Symphony in D Minor, by Cesar Franck. 4 I $ « � � ■ « 4 4?

M 7 e MeAA cUin becesnbesi 14,1939 One of the key performances presented by the college music department each year is the presentation of some oratorio. In the past, these musicals have proven to become more popular with the public each succeed ng year. This year, on December 13th and 14th. the Messiah, by George Frederick Handel, one of the best known and most impressive oratorios ever written, was unusually successful under the direction of G. Dana Kinsman. The music department was fortunate in being able to procure four outstanding soloists. The most well-known of these was Miss Carla Petersen, soprano, formerly a Music Scholarship student of Humboldt, and now studying voice in Los Angeles. Other soloists were Mr. and Mrs. George Albert Jones, tenor and alto soloists, of Areata, and Mr. Kalem Kermoyan, 18-year-old baritone of Berkeley. On the night of the performance of the Messiah the auditorium was filled to capacity which was ample proof of the popularity and excellence of these performances. . . . The College Little Symphony Or- chestra provided the accompaniment for the oratorio, and a chorus of nearly 100 voices comprised of the Areata Union High School choir, under the direction of Miss Ruth Car-roll; the college a cappella choir and chorus also contributed toward the success of this presentation.

In spite of the scarcity of members, the band, under the direction of Carl Owen, added the needed spark so essential to the success of any athletic contest. ... In their singular costumes of plaid shirts and jeans, the band willingly contributed its services at all of the football games held here, and even accompanied the team to Davis where they outshone the 100 piece band of the Cal-Aggies. . . .The newly organized College drill team, under the leadership of Barbara Crnich, also added to the half-time entertainment at these games, bedecked in their neat-looking white, green, and gold costumes. . . . Always an affair which is looked forward to with eager anticipation is the annual Music Festival which this year was held on April 19th. Gathered at this Festival were the most well-trained musical groups in the Junior High and Senior High Schools of Humboldt County. To foster the spirit of correlation and musical growth through group participation and to learn by hearing other organizations perform is the primary purpose of this annual affair. . . . Bands, orchestras, glee clubs, small ensembles, and a cappella choirs —all of these diverse groups contributed toward making the Festival a successful and worth-while undertaking. The greatest benefit derived might be said to be the motivation of the participating groups to improve upon their performances of the previous year. BAND: Back Row — Peaiey, Speer, McCune.

It is no easy task to win one of these scholarships as the contestant is judged by his potential as well as his present achievements. . . . This year, the plan of awarding four scholarships to students in voice, piano, violin, and violincello, was temporarily changed, and in place of these awards, six one-semester scholarships were awarded, three in piano and three in voice. The amount of these scholarships are fifty dollars each, and the recipient is required to enroll at Humboldt State College for a major or minor in music. . . . Out- standing musical progress has been made by several of the scholarship winners of former years. Among these are Carla Petersen who was the soloist at Treasure Island on Danish Day, and sang before the Danish Prince and Princess during their visit to the U. S. last spring. Other winners who have made noticeable progress are Myron Schussman, Charles Fulkerson, and Merle Morton. . . . Winners of this year's scholarships were Betty Sue Wilson, Jeanne Schussman, and Helen Arnold in voice, and Joan Pine, Lois Johnson, and Carol Hannah in piano.

The enthusiasts were not disappointed, for when the final game of the year had ended, Humboldt had won 5 and lost 2 games against as good competition as they had ever met.

Baseball . . . the national game, which has a hard time getting started at Humboldt, was this year reduced to an intramural sport. However, the large turnout which greeted Coach Harry Griffith was the basis for a plea to have college competition. Tentative games were scheduled with San Jose and Cal Aggies and many more were in prospect with the local teams of the Redwood League. . . . Tennis . . . this is the only minor sport which is assured of intercollegiate competition each year. A barnstorming tour is taken each spring, on which Humboldt has meets with several junior college and club teams in the San Francisco bay region. In 1940, Humboldt undertook its most ambitious track program, taking part in three intercollegiate meets. Although hampered by Humboldt County rain during the training months. Coach Herb Hart and his boys nevertheless worked faithfully for the three meets with San Francisco State, Chico State, and Cal Aggies, and while they were beaten each time (many of the opposing points coming because Humboldt had entered only one man) the Humboldt spirit was never gone. San Francisco defeated the Lumberjacks 99 2 to 31 2 as Humboldt's three first places were Don Mahan's victories in the sprints and Len Longholm's tie for first in the pole vault. Mahan's times were 10 flat for the century and 22.1 for the 220, while Longholm vaulted 12 feet. Other point winners were Louis Walton, Mel Eskelson, Grant Ferguson, Lee Flink, and Bill DuMond. Travelling the following week to the Sacramento Valley, the Lumberjacks encountered Chico and Cal Aggies on successive days. Chico won by a 97 2 3 to 32 1 3 margin as Ferguson and Barbieri captured the only firsts, and the Aggies won 103 to 28, as Mahan again won both sprints. Prospects lor this year's team, while not as bright perhaps as in the past few years, nevertheless indicated that Humboldt would be well represented on the tennis tour. . . . Skiing . . . with the formation of the College Ski Club this year, skiing increased in popularity tremendously. A light winter hindered the skiers, but never before was there so much enthusiasm for a winter sport at Humboldt. A ski lodge was constructed by the club, and next year is expected to be the banner year in skiing. Archery. . . . this con- tinued to be a very popular sport at Humboldt State. Archery classes were large, and more and more good archers were developed. . . . Golf. . . . Under the tutelage of Coach Hart, golf this year reached a new high in interest. The golf classes were the largest and became by far the most proficient in history. .... Boxing. . . . increased interest in boxing at Humboldt was shown this year by the fact that several of the college boys entered and made good showings in the local amateur tournaments. . . . Other sports which have a large following are Badminton, Wrest’-ing, and Ping-pong. hvr, N THE CAMP Frances, Lois and Barbara have found the remedy for that afternoon, unquenchable thirst.
