Text from Pages 1 - 122 of the 1950 volume:

( J + 1 EDITOR'S MESSAGE College life is swiftly passing, soon its sands are run —this old familiar line in our Alma Mater bears mute testimony to an everpresent fact. Like the emotions of joy and sorrow; the daily occupation of living; and the myriad happenings in our life span, these college years pass fleetingly by with almost unbelievable rapidity. The staff of the Sempervirens of 1950 hopes that this book will become a treasury of pleasant memories, recording for ourselves and posterity these moments and events, for us irreplaceable and unobtainable again. We hope you will enjoy reading this chronicle of an unforgettable year. Sincerely. JOHN J. C. McMURRAN Editor Sempervirens of 1950 T) OUR CAMPUS FAR ABOVE PACIFIC'S WATERS HAIL,ALL HAIL TO HUMBOLDT COLLEGE I ADMINISTRATION OUR PRESIDENT Both students and faculty of Humboldt State College know well the friendliness and power of the personality of our school's president. Arthur S. Gist. Students, many of whom he knows by name, are familiar with President Gist's warm smile in the halls or in the coop. They appreciate his firmly held policy of hearty support and cooperation. without interference, o: student organizations and student government. The faculty is well able to attest to President Gist s application toward realization of the policies he so enthusiastically supports: smoothly running student-faculty realtionships. improvement of our campus and its facilities, and a general raising of Humboldt State’s standards. In return for his untiring efforts President Gist deserves the firm support of Humboldt State College. its students and faculty. ARTHUR S. GIST. President MR. MAURICE HICKLIN MR. HARRY E. GRIFFITH DR. ALBERT GRAVES DR. BURTON HENRY Oireelor of the Director of Elementary Education Director of Secondary Education Doan of Men Division of Language and Literature A few days before our final deadline, we received word of the resignation of our president. Arthur S. Gist. Throughout his twenty years in office. President Gist has made his administration at Humboldt State College outstanding for the high degree of friendliness that he strived to maintain. Constantly promoting warm relations between students and faculty, he has maintained a general hands-off' policy in both student and faculty affairs: yet he has been responsible through his remarkable diplomacy and strength of character for a unique student-faculty relationship. The high degree of informality between instructors and students is a feature almost entirely lacking in other colleges of the nation. Ever-mindfu! of the welfare of the students. President Gist has sponsored both scholastic and social improvements. In the scholastic field, he has seen the 194 course offerings when he came in 1930 enlarged to 591 today: the bachelor degrees that were offered in three fields then are now available in twenty fields: any one of the eleven teaching credentials are now obtainable; the faculty has grown from twenty-seven to forty-seven, and the Tittle' college on the hill has really grown up. In 1948 Humboldt State College was granted permission to offer the general secondary credential to its students. In 1949 the college was authorized to confer the Master of Arts degree. Indicative of the success of the academic program is the enrollment increase from 399 when President Gist arrived at Humboldt State to over 100 per cent of that, or 738 students last year. And it was President Gist again who instigated the excellent counseling system so that each student might obtain guidance and advice relative to his chosen field from an appropriate faculty instructor in that department. There can bo no doubt that Arthur Gist loved his students—which is proven in the warmth and attention he has shown them. During the past war President Gist carried on an extended personal correspondence with every student or alumnus of Humboldt State Col'ege in the service of whom there was any record. He has always been vitally interested in the sports program carried out here. Even during his prolonged illness which kept him from his job several months last fall, he always had a radio at his side to keep him informed of the progress of his boys. For years he has attended all the games and practice sessions he possibly could. It won't be the same without that sturdy figure in the overcoat sitting on the bench. Ever prominent in the student co-op and in the halls of his college where he hod a never-foiling greeting of warmth and sincerity for all whom he met. President Gist stood for Humboldt State College, the friendly, warm-hearted college. Campus improvements have been another goal toward which President Gist has strived. The expansion of the physical facilities at the college have included tennis courts, the Redwood Bowl, a property building. nine classroom huts. Humboldt Village, and a health unit. It was largely through President Gist's efforts that funds were secured to acquire the site and structure of Nelson Hall, the only permanent dormitory at any state college in California. A master expansion program has been put into effect by President Gist and will include many new buildings and classrooms. Jenkins Hall, the new industrial arts building, has recently been completed. President and Mrs. Gist have been prominent leaders in their community. Their participation in numerous civic enterprises and their membership in various community groups has done much to bring the community and the college together in functional harmony. A list of accomplishments that President Gist has achieved at Humboldt State College during his administration would be incomplete ro matter how long the list might be. for his greatest contributions have been the intangible benefits that the school and the community have received from his outstanding personality. His progressive spirit and perseverance toword all goals that he set for himself have provided for all those students, faculty, administrators, or community members that have known him an example of exceptional merit. Therefore, it is with reluctance that we of Humboldt State College see our president retire after a successful and inspiring career of twenty years of faithful service to his college and his community.

LEWIS A heartfelt loss was sustained by Humboldt State College and its Wildlife Department at the death of John H. Lewis, head of that department, last fall. The importance of his work at the college and in the community is attested by his record of achievements. He was the guiding hand behind the game reserve established in this area, and he organized preliminary surveys for the development of areas in Humboldt Countv now under consideration by the State Wildlife Conservation Board as public recreation sites, including Big Lagoon. Stone Lagoon, and the South Spit. He. too. was largely responsible for having the division of wildlife management recognized os a physical science. For his achievements here. Lewis became nationally honored. Students and faculty and citizens of the community alike, regretted the death of such an academician, unsurpassed in his field. That he was thoroughly respected and appreciated os both a friend and teacher is evidenced by the high regard held for Lewis by his students. Men interested in wildlife from every section of the United States came to study under him. The memory of John H. Lewis will long be remembered both by those whom he taught and by Humboldt State College. ASSOCIATED STUDENTS N T OttICtllS STUDENT COUNCIL FIRST ROW, loft to right: J. Halt , O.Campball, M.Murphy.

Representing the Associated Students, the Student Council and the Co-ordinating Council are two vital forces responsible in a large measure for the successful running of student affairs at Humboldt State College. The fate of self-government rests in their hands to mold to the best possible form. The Student Council, headed by the student body president and composed of elected representatives, has done much to raise the college spirit. The Co-ordinating Council under Jean Heise and Douglas Nitsch includes all the presidents of the organized clubs, and has set up the calendar of events for the college year. i CO-ORDINATING COUNCIL FIRST ROW. left to right: J.

White George Wildridge William R. Wilkins Barbara H. Williams Virginia L. Williams Charles C. Woodcock Warren J. Woodworth Humboldt State College is essentially a small, friendly, informal school. One of the nine state colleges of California, it is noted for its congenial atmosphere and excellent faculty. It was with considerable pride that Humboldt State accepted the authorization to offer the Master of Arts Degree in 1949. With over 750 students enrolled, it has grown and expanded from its humble start as a normal school. While regional in character. students come from all over the United States and foreign countries to attend the college. Highlighting the year has been the start of the building program with the rise and completion of Jenkins Hall. It has been said that Humboldt is so democratic that any student can take part in any activity. This is absolutely true—in this progressive school where there are not any special groups and organizations. It has been said that Humboldt has one of the best teacher-training programs in the state. Perhaps this is indicative of the fact that all graduates majoring in education have been placed almost 100 per cent. With the excellent facilities of the College Elementary School and the co-operation of the county high schools, such a program has been able to develop. GRADUATES Evorv year the college sponsors an art festival, a dramatic festival, a music festival, and a day for the girls in physical education. Students from the local high schools are the guests with an opportunity to display their various talents. It is hoped that some day we will be able to have an annual yearbook conference to add to this impressive program. The college’s cultural contribution to the community cannot be measured— an entertainment bureau, a little symphony, a variety of dramatic productions, and concerts and operettas. Only a few of the everyday events! Humboldt State College is especially proud of its Department of Wildlife, developed by the late, beloved John H. Lewis, whose tragic death on a mountain road shook the faculty and students of Humboldt State. It is hoped that this department will continue to flourish and grow in accordance with the noble traditions that he established. One other unfortunate event marked this year—the unexpected illness of our genial president. Arthur S. Gist. It just wasn't the same without his cordial greeting and handshake. Another Humboldt facility is the 25.000 volume library—one of the most outstanding libraries in Northern California. SOPHOMORES I With the number of war veterans rapidly declining, some people predicted a dire drop in the scholastic overage. On the contrary, just the opposite has happened. Over 70 names appeared on the honor roll this semester—an all-time record for Humboldt State. However, to give the veterans their due. Humboldt Village has held the house trophy, awarded to the organized house with the highest index, ever since the village was established. As usual. Humboldt has several events which have become traditions and ore looked forward to every year. Work day and the unforgettable Faculty Show probably rank first—followed by the proms and the various holiday dances. Homecoming is the big event for the fall—and the freshman dance is enjoyed in the spring. We couldn't forget the fall and spring ploys, the music production, the honor assembly, and of course, the arrival of the yearbook. Ah. for the glorious days of summer and the men's and women's picnics. You can be sure that Pop Jenkins will give a doughnut feed, a real Humboldt tradition. And despite pleas and more pleas, final week somehow always seems to arrive. If you survive final week, you have become a fully initiated member of H.S.C. FRESHMEN Humboldt State College is looking to the future—on enrollment of 1.000: o new educational plant, modern and excellently equipped: increased social program centered around a projected student union: and an increase in the number of courses offered by all departments. The college expects a new scholostic high; winning teams in sports: and a balanced, debt-free budget. Humboldt State offers unlimited opportunities to the entering freshmen. Nobody is cost aside in the stream, but all are given personal guidance and instruction so characteristic of small colleges. Instructors and students mingle freely and become acquainted with each other. As Humboldt grows, so grows the Scmpervirens. It is the aim of the college annual to be bigger and better every year. It is the aim of the college annual to be truly representative of the school. Humboldt is a representative school—a school where all groups meet in a congenial atmosphere to form a spirit that is Humboldt's own—a spirit of friendliness, good-will, and happiness. It is everywhere, from the dormitory to the classroom, from the cafeteria to the gym. It makes the years at Humboldt State College among the most enjoyable in life. FRESHMEN THE LIBRARY Have you ever seen the library when it wasn't teeming with life and activity? From the moment the door is opened at eight o'clock and Mrs. Helen Everett and her staff arrive to the last closing minutes when the stacks are straightened, the library is an important center of college affairs. Wo are lucky to have an excellent library . . . one of the best in Northern California ... with over 25.000 volumes on the shelves. Everyone goes there, whether to do research on an M.A. degree or just to look up a definition. One of the most popular places in the pleasant building is the magazine rack . . . which is always crowded and contains the latest periodicals. Copies are available of many newspapers, both local or national. The remarkable thing about the library is the wide variety and the general quality of the books. Best-sellers in fiction and non-fiction are always on hand. It's a Humboldt tradition to go to the library to finish that last minute homework .. . and it's nice to be able to come in and stand by the radiators on those cold, winter mornings before going to class. We are blessed with a staff of librarians that are really top-notch'' . . . nothing is ever too much bother. The staff is always willing to assist in any way possible . . . Humboldt State College looks forward to the time when our new library building will rise, carrying on in the same wonderful tradition. ACTIVITIES KH SC TOP, left to right: M. Hull. L. Cook. J.

Under the direction of Mr. Rod Shepherd, advisor, and John Papendrea. program director, radio station KHSC has emerged as one of the most outstanding organizations of Humboldt State College. Faced with possible eviction from the present studio because of state regulations in regard to building, the group obtained permission to operate temporarily in the old quarters until a new studio is built. In addition to entertaining the student body at noon with a varied hour program broadcast throughout the campus area, this public-spirited organization had charge of the play-by-play ‘ ot the gomes. The studio also planned and produced several night programs. Students may take part in this excellent training in radio by taking Radio Workshop, a course offered under the Division of Fine and Applied Arts. Not only does this group offer unlimited publicity for various campus events, but they also perform such public service activities as posting the scores of the world series. Their aid to the rally committee has been invaluable. The Sempervirens salutes the campus radio station, one of the best in the state, our own KHSC. DONALD CROWE MR.

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT OR FREO GLOVER AND MR. JOHN DtWITT Humboldt State College is justly proud of its department of Wildlife Management, considered one of the best in the nation and drawing students from all over the United States. One of the largest departments in the college, headed by Dr. Fred Glover and Mr. John DeWitt, most wildlife majors belong to Conservation Unlimited, the wildlife club. Conservation Unlimited is the largest extracurricular organization at Humboldt and also one of the most active. This year's presidents were Ken Sadler and Virgil Mullis. Humboldt County is ideally suited for this type of study, possessing on infinite variety of natural terrain from cool, mountain streams to the sandy shores of the ocean. Humboldt State College, recognizing the unlimited opportunities in this field, is embarked upon a program to moke this department the best to be found anywhere.

The department is embarked upon a multiflora rose project which serves as a cover for wildlife, and was responsible for the clearing of Lindsey Creek which was blocked by debris. Plans ore being readied for the opening of the fish hatchery, and the game pens will soon be in operation. Over sixty wildlife students attended the North American Wildlife Conference held at the Fairmount Hotel in San Francisco, this being the largest delegation at the conference. The department also sponsors many field trips including one to Willow Creek and one to a Humboldt fur farm. CLEARING LINDSEY CREEK AT THE HOSPITALITY HOUSE IN ON A FIELD TRI MANAGEMENT Conservation Unlimited has established a reputation of being one of the most active clubs at Humboldt and really lives up to it. The club has held a number of parties, outstanding of which was the party with the girls of the Home Economics club. Two events that are looked forward to every year are the barbecue and the clambake. They even raised their own pig. The club is planning to build a barbecue pit and lake upon the :and given to them for recreational purposes by Frank Smith, an honorary member. Conservation Unlimited is embarked upon on extensive publicity campaign with a view to informing prospective wildlife majors of the fine facilities available here at Humboldt State College.

Despite overwhelming difficulties, our bi-weekly college newspaper, the Lumberjack. has been able to keep a rather steady schedule this year. A publication of the Associated Students, the letterpress paper was assured by a vote of the Student Council last spring. A mimeographed sheet was discussed as a possibility when the funds were low. Directed by Alfred Braun, editor, Charlotte Marks, business manager, and Tom Knight, assistant editor, the paper has been much improved. Due to the tight printing schedule at the shop, the deadline was so far advanced that feature articles took the place of last-minute news. Everyone enjoyed 'Magnolia Farthingdale written by Ernie Lekay, and Bob Crittenden's music column. As usual, Janet Rodgers had the school guessing who would appear in ' Katty Korner the next issue. Craig Stark, sports editor, had good coverage of the entire season. Journalism 20, taught by Mr. Maurice Hicklin, supplied most of the copy. Mr. W. Thurston Womack is the advisor.

To many students it is home during the school year. Humboldt has three dormitories. Nelson Hall for women. Varsity Hall and Redwood Hall for men. Humboldt Village is occupied by married veterans and their families. An excellent cafeteria is maintained in Nelson Hall, and Varsity Hall contains the Health Unit. Each organization has an elected council under the direction of the Dean s Office. The ' dorms regularly sponsor many campus events, and dances and parties are held in Nelson Hall. Yearly, the annual sponsors a contest between the girls of Nelson Hall, choosing the two most attractive rooms to represent the group in the Sempervirens. The winners appear on the following page.

THE STUDENT CO-OPERATIVE It has been said that Humboldt revolves around the Student Co-operative, affectionately called the Co-op' or Coop' by all dyed-in-the-wool Lumberjacks. Presided over by Mrs. Vera Walters, this rustic room is indeed a part of the spirit that is Humboldt btate. Rare is the person who doesn't stop there at least once a day—whether to listen to the juice box. enjoy good company, grab a sandwich, see the girl friend, just loaf, or got a cup of coffee—yes—the very some coffee that is condemned by the novitiates and praised by the initiated, absolutely irreplaceable!! Everything happens in the Co-op —spontaneous combustion reigns. We have seen unrehearsed jitterbugging, rousing rallies, initiations and practical jokes, jazz sessions and intellectual discussions. Half the college business is conducted in the Co-op, o common meeting ground for faculty and students. We have seen ice fights, straw fights, paper fights, book fights, verbal fights— but oddly enough—never a fist fight! Humboldt, the friendly, warm-hearted college, the informal, progressive college— to be found in the 'Coop. Time out for coffee, cokes, and smokes—another Humboldt tradition. 60 FINE AND APPLIED ARTS MR. JOHN VAN DUZER Technical Director DR.

Just ask any of the many students who work under the guidance of Dr. Don Karshncr. director, and Mr. John Van Duzer, technical director. The drama department follows a broad program and presents many plays, play readings, and arena productions throughout the year. Our thespians not only render a valuable service to the college but serve the community as well. Noted for their excellent work in dramatics and for high quality productions, a Humboldt State College presentation means a ' full house. The department publishes its own newspaper. Stage and Studio. edited by Fern Stahl, and supports its own publicity staff under the direction of Dove Tolle. High school students from Areata. De! Norte. Eureka. Ferndale. Fortuna. Trinity, South Fork, and Hoopa enjoy the yearly dramatic festival. This year's festival drew over 2S0 people throughout the northern pari of the state. The visitors receive the opportunity to sec what goes on behind the scenes and to attend each other's productions. Humboldt State College has been experimenting with the new arena type plays presented in the middle of a room with the audience sitting on tiers around each side. A Marriage Proposal directed by Jean Masters, was presented for the drama festival, and Accent on Youth, directed by Leon Pike, was presented in the Quonset Gym. SCENES FROM A -MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S' DREAM PARTMENT Even George Bernard Show got into the oct this yeor with the production of his famous 'Candida.'' directed by Zatha Tollman assisted by Malcolm Buchanan. Candida was also presented at the drama festival as a play reading. The major production of the season was William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The cast prepared for this play with a full semester's work in Shakespeare before attempting the production. Every college department cooperated and the dancing was presented by the modern dance group under the direction of Miss Hermic Kroeger. The Devil and Daniel Webster wos presented earlier in the first semester along with Gilbert and Sullivan's Trial by Jury, sponsored by the music deportment under the direction of Mr. Leland Barlow. This department also presents an annual Popera. in which the entire Division of Fine and Applied Arts takes part. Several one-act ploys were presented at the start of the season including Cracked Ice and Q. Work was completed on the play-reading, Laura, directed by Wilbur Jensen and lie was presented under the direction of Alfred Braun. The community has really mode use of the College Entertainment Bureau, composed of and directed by the drama students of Humboldt State. Alpha Psi Omega, a national dramatic society, has a very active chapter here at Humboldt. Besides a lively initiation, the group sponsors many social events, including a Hawaiian dinner. With the improvements almost completed on the new stage ond the wide variety of courses offered. Humboldt State possesses a drama department second to none in Northern California. 's MISS MARIANNE MERRICK FRESHMAN SWEETHEART FINE ART Under the direction of Mr. Reese Bullen and Mr. Melvin Schuler. Humboldt State College has an excellent Art Department. The courses not only attract the art majors but many people of the community who wish to take advantage of the opportunities for instruction offered here. The department regularly presents a series of exhibits open to the public which include one-man shows, industrial design, and architecture. A regional Art Festival is held in the spring and features exhibits by college students and outstanding work from the local high schools. The professional and amateur artists and sculptors of Humboldt County are also represented. The art program covers a brood field and includes almost every art media. There are courses for those who desire to learn art appreciation and courses for those who wish to paint for pleasure. Both Mr. Bullen and Mr. Schuler have presented one-man shows and are well-known in their field. Humboldt ort students put the finishing touches to a project in oil pointing. Members of the class in design examine examples of their work. A typical scene in the art room where the group is working in water-colors. THE HUMBOLDT CHORUS Meeting at noon under the direction of Lee Barlow, the Humboldt State Chorus is part of tho active music program at the college. It presents several programs a year and has only one prerequisite for membership—and that is to be able to carry a tune. THE HUMBOLDT BAND Despite the lack of uniforms and equipment, the Humboldt State College Band never missed a game. Under the direction of Duane Gurnee, the band played at the football and basketball games and at the rallies. Faced with over-whelming obstacles, not the least of which was lack of money, the band turned in an extraordinary performance for 1949-50. Plans are now underway to obtain uniforms by the next football season. This year's majorettes were Dorothy St. John, Doreen Shannon. Doreen Hiscox, and Mary Rowe. FIRST ROW. I«ft � o riqM: C.

He knows the wizardry of glaze— The long rite of fire To overcome fragility. HE HAS A WAY WITH THINGS— With boats and boomerangs And soapbox speed-kings: A stone ground and polished like a jewel; Burnished copper And beaten silver And the satin glow of well-loved wood. A gas jet And an old iron kettle— And golden doughnuts bobbing: A twinkle in his eyes, A jest, soft-spoken—always kind; Never a sermon, but always a friend. HE HAS A WAY WITH LIFE— The storm-winds of circumstance He has turned aside With quiet gentleness. Bending over a loom He sees the colored threads Weave themselves into a pattern of content. And v hile he gives instruction In the art of making things. He leaves an after-lesson in the arts of joy and peace. —MYRTLE M. McKITTRlCK T V' SPORTS FIRST ROW, to riqht: R. Goldimlth K.

Beset by difficulties at the outset and composed essentially of freshmen and sophomores, a valiant, fighting Humboldt State varsity struggled through the maze of obstacles and finished the hectic 1949 gridiron season without a win to their credit. Thrown for a nose-dive at the start by the airmen from Hamilton Field, it seemed as if the pace was set; the finish climaxed by a 54-0 loss to Oregon. Becoming very exclusive. we joined the ranks of the dozen or so teams in the nation who ended entirely in the red. Piloted by Coach Ted Staffler, ably assisted by Lloyd Whetstone and Jack Norton, the Lumberjacks, after a succession of coaches and a wartime layoff, tried a variation of the T, and then switched to the single-wing in search of something that would work. In this era of highly competitive football recruiting, where the duplicities employed in the snatching of hiqh school stars are legion, it is not at all remarkable that only a trickle of the cream of the local crop came to Humboldt, while the rest went trooping off to larger institutions of higher learning. Without endowments and other inducements. we simply did not have the material to meet our extremely heavy schedule. Add this potent factor to injuries, absence of a host of veteran players, the fact that Humboldt is one of the smallest colleges in the state, internal and external dissensions. and the league of extracurricular coaches, it is easy to understand why this season was not successful. However, with the crying towel buried and a year of football behind our team and our coach, we are looking forward to a much improved season next year. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL People may laugh about our 1949 season for some time to come, but there were o number of noteworthy accomplishments in quite a few fields. Humboldt spirit, considered dead and buried ever since the war. took a sharp upswing. When the rooting section lets go with a few lusty yells at H.S.C.. that's something!! When the auditorium is filled to capacity for a well-planned and organized rally, that’s something!!— and even when it doosn't rain for one game, that’s something!! What is most encouraging to us is the fact that there was an active Jayvee team' this season under Coach Jack Norton. Many players of this team have already transferred to the varsity—there are some outstanding prospects, boys who could not play varsity ball this year because of technicalities, due to make I9S0 a bright year for the green and gold. Even the attendance, though not spectacular, was much improved. Instead of having to hitch-hike. our boys flew in style to all games away in a chartered Southwest plane. They also sported up-to-the-minute new uniforms and equipment. Because of the lack of rain, on tne whole the Redwood Bowl turf was in excellent condition. Look at little Trenton Teacher's College in New Jersey, about the size of Humboldt —they didn't win a game in I I years until this season. At least we achieved a 0-0 tie with our arch-enemy. Chico State College. Everyone is looking forward to 1950—wo sincerely believe that you will see a high-spirited Humboldt team really roll. I FIRST ROW. laft to right: B. Meytr. I. Smart. B. Rail. R.

Although playing an abbreviated conference schedule, the Humboldt State basketball team under Coach Lloyd Whetstone, had a successful season. Perhaps the most outstanding player on the Humboldt Varsity was lanky Bob Marsh, ace forward. Marsh won the scoring championship of the league with his 15.8 average per game. Two other valuable p'ayers were Eddie Oliveria and John Klingen-spor, both veteran members of the teom. Klingenspor received honorable mention on the all-conference team for his fine defensive work. The Humboldt Times placed both Marsh and Klingenspor on their all-conference selection. A Jayvee team was in operation this year and ployed many of the local league teams. The year was marked by a large freshman turnout who show great promise for the future.

MINOR SPORTS Humboldt State College is embarked on on extensive and ambitious program of minor sports, developed under Joseph Forbes and continued by Lloyd Whetstone. Director of Athletics. Besides the junior varsity teams, students may take part in boxing, golf, bowling, tumbling, trampoline. wrestling, archery, tennis, badminton, and swimming. Intermural sports are well organized and a large number of students participate. The tennis team has a regular competitive schedule as does the boxing team when the enrollment in these classes warrants such a program. Tumbling and trampoline students perform at various occasions. The golf classes are lucky to have the Bayside Golf Course near by so that practical experience is gained on the spot. Spring baseball is carried on under both the intermural and varsity programs. We should not forget the excellent dancing program including folk, ballroom, and modern, sponsored by the women’s athletic division. Doreen Shannon. Walter Greene.

All aboard that's going aboard!! That's the last of solid earth until landing. Luxury was the word for the Humboldt State football team's means of travel for all games away. Nothing less than a chartered Southwest Airways plane provided the transportation. For some of the players, it was their first ride in an airplane and for many others, their longest ride. A far cry from last year's hitch-hike as vou can method, it was costly but worth every last penny. What it saved in energy cannot be counted in dollars and cents. Taking a tip from the larger schools. Humboldt State hopes to be able to continue this policy for the forthcoming 1950 season. WOMEN’S SPORTS THE FOLK DANCING CLASS Under the direction of Miss Hermie Kroeger, Assistant Professor of Physical Education. Humboidt State College has an excellent program of women's sports, both in the equipment at hand and the courses offered. Perhaps the highlight of the year is the annual playday. to which all the schools throughout the county are invited. This year Humboldt State College teams have tried out the system of the continuous dribble in women's basketball as part of their progressive program. Noon games are held by the Women's Athletic Association, whose president is Carol Beck. The girls take part in a variety of sports including archery, badminton, tumbling, trampoline, golf, tennis, bowling, basketball, modern dance, ping pong and many others. The modern dance group presented all the dancing in the play production of a Midsummer Night's Dream. One of the features of the program enjoyed by both the men and women is the dance program including both ballroom and folk. Humboldt State College sponsored a folk dancing festival held in Eureka this spring. HONOR SOCIETIES RHO SIGMA PIN In recognition of high scholastic attainment, qualities of leadership, participation in extracurricular activities, and high ideals of character, members are elected to Rho Sigma, the sophomore honor society, at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
