Hallies Spirit of “29 This year has seen a decided improvement .n toe spirit ol the O. U. H. S. rooting section. Under the supervision of yell leaders. Eddie Costelio and Jimmie Popper, a very efficient section has been establ.shed. The entire school showed real enthusiasm in their support of the “1 iger' teams. A big rally was held the night before the football game with Yuba City, starting the 1929 season of league football, and Oroville was out to win. Boys had worked all day getting old boxes for the bonfire, and they suce ded in getting a pile. 1 he mam lea.u.' ot th . raiuy was the burning of the Yuba City effigy. By the noise heard, Yuba City must have been sure their doom was sealed. Each member o. the ‘A’’ squad gave a short speech, and then Bun Onyett rendered his masterpiece. A new school song was practiced and sung accompanied by the band. (We fear it was sung more loudly than beautifully). After the rally a serpantine was woven throughout the business district. It succeeded in con jesting traffic and making everyone tired and “het up , not to mention excited. On the whole, the rally was the most successful one this year. Rooting sections were in evidence for basketball, baseball and track as well as football.and all teams were enthusiastically supported.

Svudcnt Body i he associated Students or the Uroville Union High School is composed of about 195 members. A few years ago, a system was adopted vnereby a student may purchase a student card ac tne beginning of the school year. T his entitles him to vote on all Student Body measures, attend all games held at Oroville High, receive a copy of the Alpha, and participate in all student activites. 60 many advantages are to be gained through membership, that the system has worked well. A definite income is assured each year, and better organization is made possible. I he organizations of the Student Body have taken a step to the front this year. The Block “O” Society, which has done such splendid work in building the Block “O” on Table Mountain, deserves much credit. The Girls Athletic Association has kept step with the boys by taking the lead in girls’ activities. For the first time in years the girls had a High Jinks. 1 he boys held their first Jazz Party. Both of these proved so successful that they will, in all probability, be yearly affairs. As the money in the O. U. H. S. student body coffers ran very low toward the middle of the year a play was given to replenish the supply. ‘ On e I here Was A Princess.” ably directed by Miss Marjorie Graham, proved to be a great attraction as well as a financial success. On May 2nd and 3rd a Flower Festival and carnival was given by the students for the benefit of the treasury. There was a parade Thursday afternoon and a big performance each evening. Nearly every one in the school did something to add to the success of the undertaking. A substantial amount was turned over to the treasure as the result. All in all. the students have shown a great deal of pep and interest in all student bodv activities this vear and have ably supported them in every way.
