Humboldt State College has more lives than a cat. :Born in Sacramento almost forty years ago, the Col- lege lives what we might call its corporate life amid the committee and the conference rooms of thee- State Capitol. It is almost like being in an iron lungffor the institution couldinot long survive Without the steady flow of the oxygen of the taxpayers' gold, The College has -a physical existence embedded, literally, in concrete, and blossoming 'forth in 'grass and flowers. It would be dlflicult indeed to disassociate thoughts 'of the College from its campus, its corridors, or its. classrooms- Or its faculty! The power of a wcollege resides in its intellectual life-its massed brains. When all the I.Q.'s are- seated side by side at Humboldt State, We really have a brain trust-with a heart! But essentially, the life of a college, centers in its students, -with a newiincarnation every September. And each-student takes unto himself as much as he can absorb 'of what the college has to offer. And so, .our'Col- lege lives one 'of its lives in the heart and mind of each one of itsstudents. Some of its lives are spent in ath- letics, some in dramatics, some in music, some in romance, andlyes, some 'in philosophy, or science, or practice teaching. And all the rriultiple lives of the institution are brought together and recorded in the yearbook, appro- priately namedl 'fSempervirens. Because a quarter of a century ago, the students of Humboldt State Teach- ers College and Junior College decided to publish a yea rbook, we of the 1952 incarnation can look back over the years for an intimate view of collegein 1927. The first yearbook was fortunately not called Sempervirens. Instead, they .chose to call: it the '1'Caf brillo, in memory of that 'intrepid Spanishmariner who explored the California coast before the birth of Shakespeare. The narjne Waslchosen, the publication sta-tes, lbecause of its euphony and historical significance. Perhaps the choice 'of a name affected the destiny .of this pioneer yearbook. At any rate, there was only one Cabrillo. But when the project of a yearbook was revived after a lapse of several years, and the name Sempervirens Was chosen, lit took on the self4perpetuatin'g qualities of the redwood, living up to its chal- lenging name. . And just think-Lmost of- our present students had not yet been, born! And so they laugh, Without re- membering, at the snug bobs,rat the dresses with all the rformfittirig qualities 'of a ,garment bag! How are theyto know that Herb Yocorrrhas achieved a natidnall reputation in the field of journalism, o'r that Elta Cartwright Stromberg won glory for herself and fame for Humboldt as World champion in the one hundred -yard dash for women, and represented the United States in the Olympic Games held 'in Am- sterdam? . ,. ,, . , i , ,, ,. In the faculty section, there are a few familiar fa'ces-Homer Arnold, Homer Balabanis, Maurice Hick- lin, Horace Jenkins, and Jessie Woodcock. 'Small wonder they have-'kept so young, with every September a new reincarnation of youth, and twenty-ive Iunes toibring' the rewarding, satisfaction of having, furthered the conversion of giddy adolescents into poised adults, of -merging their individual lives with thergreater life of the Collegeain allits shining facets!! And- so the yearbook reminds us of the everliving, spirit of youth, of the everliving devotion of 'instruc- tors, of the everliving influence of our College, where a quarter of acentury is as at clay, and a day is eternal. , MYRTLE MCKITTRICK. 25th ANNIVERSARY W fi
