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

Glee Club The Glee Club of the college, otherwise known as the “Singin’ Seven,’’ has been the beginning of what is hoped to be a splendid organization of male songsters—one of the greatest advertising agencies that a college can have. Throughout the entire year, the club has consisted of the following boys: L. Penny and L. Chorley, first tenor; D. Davidson and I. Ford, second tenor; W. Morse and M. Shreck, baritone; S. Howe, bass. They first sang at the Christmas tree entertainment at the college; then before the Exchange Business Men’s Club at the Land Hotel; at the college “Smoke,” and over the radio. They also sang at student body meetings, and on one of these occasions Mr. Penny gave a demonstration of his ability as a soloist. Their best work was done at the Tuesday Club House entertainment, where they gave a snappy skit, “School Days,” which ended in some well rendered songs. A view of their costumes explains one reason why this act met with so much favor. “You bet, those fellows can sing!” 29
