THE PIONEER OF SACRAMENTO JUNIOR COLLEGE Student Body At the opening meeting of the fall semester the election of officers was held. Oscar Blumberg was chosen president; Mildred McFall, vice-president; Lillian Wright, secretary; Richard Link, treasurer; Gerald Richards, ser¬ geant-at-arms, and Rodda Harvey, yell leader. To meet the needs of a greatly increased student body, it was deemed necessary to reorganize under a new constitution. A committee with Merle Shreck as chairman and Ruth Dodds, Paul Bruton and Charles Busick was appointed to form a new constitution. The officers elected for the second semester were: Merle Shreck, presi¬ dent; Mildred McFall, vice-president; Lillian Wright, secretary; Richard Link, treasurer; Archie McDougall, sergeant-at-arms, and Rodda Harvey, yell leader. Under the efficient administration of the student body officers the college year has been very successful. The much coveted college spirit has developed to a high degree. Meetings of the student body are enthusiastic demonstra¬ tions of the loyalty of its members. Executive Council With the adoption of the new constitution the Executive Council came into existence. It is composed of the student body officers, the presidents of the two classes, a representative at large, a representative of athletics, and a representative of organizations.

THE PIONEER OF SACRAMENTO JUNIOR COLLEGE Debating Society The Debating Society was organized early in the fall semester of 1922. Merle Shreck was elected debate manager. The object of the organization is to stimulate interest and to arrange debates with other colleges. A debate with Modesto was held early in January, 1923. The subject was, “Resolved: that India should be given immediate independence ’ The affirmative team, which remained in Sacramento, was composed of Ruth Dodds and Oscar Blumberg. Dallas Smith and Merle Shreck supported the negative for Sacramento at Modesto. The result was a tie, the negative of both colleges winning. It was decided to debate again with Modesto, each college using but one team. The subject s elected was, “Resolves: that United States should recog¬ nize the Soviet government.” Sacramento will support the affirmative. The debate is to be held May 22 in Sacramento. A debate with the Stanford Freshmen has been arranged. The subject is, “Resolved: that the French occupation of the Rhur is justifiable.” Paul Bruton and Phil Broughton will support the affirmative for the Junior Col¬ lege. The debate will be held in Sacramento May 11. Co-Operative Store At one of the last student body meetings of the year 1921-22, it was suggested that the associated students open a co-operative store. Jack Den¬ nison was appointed to look into the matter and at the first meeting of the fall semester he reported favorably upon the plan. Under the reorganized student body, Charles Busick was appointed chair¬ man of the committee in charge of establishing the store. It was decided that it would be advi sable to wait until the first of the year to open the store. Charles Busick was appointed manager and Paul Bruton, assistant man¬ ager. On the eighth of January the co-operative store was open for business in temporary quarters. It was soon moved to larger and more favorable location. During the first two months approximately a thousand dollars worth of business was done. The students are given discounts on all school suppiles, this, in addition to the convenience of having the store so close at hand, has been a great benefit to the students. Provision has been made in the plans for the new Junior College wing for a co-operative store. The students’ store has become a fixture, its per¬ manency is assured. 27
