THE PIONEER 1928 The Pioneer An Enduring Record of the Outstanding Events, A Catalog of the Graduating Class, and A Chronicle of the College Organization During the College Year 1927-1928 k 9 SIXTH ANNUAL PUBLICATION by the Associated Students of Sacramento Junior College Sacramento, California May, 1928 jP THE PIONEER f oreword a ;ELL a TALE OF BYGONE DAYS—of the search for M i n ice-bound Klondike, in stifling Death Valley, in 1 the dusty Australian desert, in the pot-holes of the Stanislaus; or recount the mad adventures of those who would rob of their golden treasures the palaces of the Incas, the temples of the Orient, the bullion-laden galleons of the Spanish Main—and eyes glisten and blood throbs. History and literature are full of gold: Midas, Croesus, the Golden Calf, the Cities of Cathay, the splendor of Haroun-al- Raschid, bloody pirates with “pieces-of-eight. ,, To find the Golden Fleece, Jason and his Argonauts sailed to unknown dangers; to search for the seven fabled cities of Cibola, Coronado suffered in our arid southwest; to dig for gold, men labored and died in our own mountains in the rush of ’49. Later another type of Pioneer followed in his ox-cart to find the subtler gold of fertile sail. He changed mushroom settlements of shacks to thriving cities and mighty capitals of commerce, while transmuting crude nuggets into the wealth of the West. Gold! Romance and glorious adventure, in all ages, the world over. Gold! The days of ’49 and of the Pioneer. Gold! The theme of the 1928 Pioneer of the Sacramento Junior College. Four Gold Infinitely cool and gleaming—gold That slips through men ' s fingers in dreams So that they long, on waking, to hold Its coolness, arid know its gleams. Gold—like jar ojj and glistening lodestones, Irresistibly drawing men on Through a wilderness marked with white bones To the goal: through night to bleak dawn. Strangely useless and jutile and vain—it is sold For so high a value, that we Must think of the price they have paid for—just gold; Must ask, what reward can it be? Five nr ' , --—---—- v ] THE PIONEER Xs — Dreams of Time By Richard N. Greer OFTLY, the north wind whispers Through aspens bent with age; Slowly the hot sun withers The silent desert and sage. Time ever fast in its passage Marks the going and coming of life, While the ever increasing sorrow Reveals unceasing turmoil and strife. Pictures reveal the dreamer, Structures the artisan builder, While the ruins point to the failure And shifting sands to the sleeper. But life is unhesitant in passage, Fate is alone supreme: The north wind softly whispers, Dispelling our beautiful dream. Slowly the hot sun lowers, Slowly the daylight fades, Lighting all in glory With beautiful hues and shades. The silence heralds the twilight, The birds have made their nest, The sun’s last dying embers Gild the golden west. The monotonous chirp of the cricket, The darkness of a setting sun, Herald the coming of the morrow And mark this day as done. Charles Brown (Jan., 1905—Aug., 1927) Graduated June, 1927 Richard N.

A new music bungalow with three classrooms and six practice rooms, and two tennis courts have been built. A stadium with an initial seating capacity of 25,000 is nearing completion. A quarter mile track with jumping and vaulting pits, and two baseball diamonds have been built on the recently leveled ground east of the gymnasium. A frog pond has been excavated east of the south wing. Plane trees have been planted be¬ tween the main building and the gymnasium and redwood trees between the main building and Freeport Boulevard. The First Considerable Gift to the College The late Dr. Wallace A. Briggs presented one thousand books to the college library. This is the first considerable gift to the college aind is a very real one because practically every book is usable in the college library.

Cadman, and containing many adopted Indian melodies besides some English Lyric passages inter¬ spersed with semi-comic dialogue, was presented by the combined glee clubs and a special orchestra on April twenty-seventh. The costumes and stage settings corresponded with the Colonial Days depicted. The plot concerned a group of Britishers who meet a tribe of Niagara Indians and become entangled in their affairs.

MEN’S QUINTET Twenty-one Twenty-two Twenty-three Twenty-four f THE PIONEER Major Productions HIPPOLYTUS O N the evenings of March second and third the Greek play by Euri- pedes, “Hippolytus,” was pre¬ sented by the dramatic stu¬ dents under the direction of Mr. Seymour. Odes were sung during the play by the Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs in which they had been trained by Mr. Tulley. Mr. Matthew with the assistance of the play production class designed the costumes, scenery, and prop¬ erties; while Mr. Sellman directed stage-lighting. Incidental music, much of it being of Mr. Seymour’s composition, was played throughout the performance behind the scenes by a special . . orchestra led by Mr. Burnam. I he musicians were: Violins, Lorraine Davidson, Nancy Thomas, David Burnam; Bells, Dorothy Kirtlan; Flute, Quinton Harr is; Piano, Violette Moody; Gong, Patricia Henny. The ballet choreography was composed and directed by Mathilde Elizabeth Schuettner. Estelle Cahow was pianist for the ballet. GHOSTS Ibsen s play, Ghosts,” was given by the dramatic classes on the evening of April twentieth. As this year marked the Ibsen centennial, the play was produced as nearly as possible on the appropriate date. Ibsen was born on March twentieth, eighteen hundred and twenty-eight. ASSEMBLY SHOWS A production of scenes from Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” was given by the dramatic classes at the Christmas program in the Junior College Auditorium, December sixteenth. The costumes were carried out in modern dress follow¬ ing an experiment popular in Europe and in the East at present. The same scenes were again presented for the entertainment of the Sacra¬ mento High School students in the High School Auditorium on January fifth. A simplified version of “The Taming of the Shrew” was produced in modern dress by the beginning dramatic class on March sixteenth. The comedy of the drama was very realistically portrayed by the cast. A second performance of “The Taming of the Shrew” was presented with the same cast on May eleventh, the Junior College At Home Day. Scenes from Romeo and Juliet,” by Shakespeare, were produced by the combined dramatic classes on May seventeenth. The costumes were of the historical period in which the play was written.

The larger number of students in attendance at the Junior College made it possible to keep more items of stock in larger quantities, since the store is essentially for students, being owned, operated, and dealing only with those registered here. The Co-op offers a variety of attractions running counter to Barnum. Directly without the door there is a bench for the display of especially notable specimens: the monstrous grid-hero with broad shoulders, munching potato chips out of a crackly bag; the bonny lad diligently prof¬ fering lemon snaps and bites of Gooey-Gow bars to every bit of femininity that flutters past; the sleepy soul who tucks himself into the corner and peacefully cat-naps, with his head laid gently on the radiator; and a particular species always found with a member of the opposite gender, desperately carrying on a smile-and-sigh conversation (found most generally during periods when traffic in the halls is reduced to a lone, tip-toeing, squeaky-shoed individual with a snoopy eye for the instructor whose class he wishes he hadn’t cut) ; a row of femininity that identifies and elaborates upon the reputation of every male that hurdles down the stairs, or cour¬ ageously plods by the bench, or breezily makes an impressive entrance through the main doorway, to either confront the jury with an air of non¬ chalant camaraderie, or to retire within the recesses of the cave-behind-the- stairs to peer out at intervals with a devastating scrap of scrawny wit that is eagerly pounced upon and devoured by the wide-eyed horde of females. Within the Co-op proper there is more for the gullible to remark upon. Behold the individual who leans against a steaming radiator without scorch¬ ing, all the while absorbing quantities of Booby-Bars, masticating a progressive chaw of particularly elastic chewing gum, and demonstrating his ability to catch peanuts on the wing; and he or she who twiddles with the display of Listos and carries on a conversation with the clerk, the customer, and the world in general; the hungry little fellow who stands at a respectful distance to gaze in admiration upon the rows of food, occasionally lifting up with timorous gentleness a clanking glass lid, to wistfully sniff the aroma of 2 for 5 warped fudge bars in tan, light brown, and brown; or perceive his more practical little brother who at noon-time takes a station-point by the swinging door and develop s sturdy friendships with the guy that used to sit across the room from him in Zoology 10, the girl that borrowed his pen on Registration Day, or even the teacher with whom he played tennis. And there’s the inkwell, fountain of squirts, joy of ex-days, and source of delight for heroes with a dominant urge to decorate feminine noses with inky smudges. Among the extraordinary remarkables the clerks themselves deserve special mention. Differing in size, appearance, and state of activity, they are consistently alike in a peculiar striding lope from shelf to shelf and an inter¬ rogative smile (save’s asking “what’ll it be, YOU with your hair parted in the middle?”). Chief of them all is one designated as a browning, customarily BROWNING Thirty-six THE PIONEER seen flapping through the halls (usually about a quarter after four), attractively garbed in a soaring white expanse of butcher’s apron. He may be identified by an accompanying clank of keys, which helps to make him feel his importance. The Co-op is in itself worthy of note; it is a museum collection of slide- rules, combs and fountain pens, zoology knives, files and teasers, stubby pen- points and mechanical drawing-sets in plush-lined cases, Conte crayon and bogus paper (the authentic article), candy and cookies—all in increased quantities since the beginning of the year. A new shelf arrangement and two store-rooms provide additional space for the enlarged stock. A practical system of stocking books was innovated this semester. Books required are ordered six weeks in advance, arriving here and being catalogued three weeks before the semester begins. This eliminates the three or four weeks delay which resulted from the former system of ordering in which books were not ordered until classes were begun. In all, the Co-op, source of blue-books and free ink, congregating place for snooties and plebes alike, and civic and social center of the Sacramento Junior College, has achieved its purpose this year in being the Student’s Service Station.

Gerald Cross ..Lawrence Martinelli [ITH the beginning of the fall semester, a great need for the effective disciplining of entering Freshmen was re¬ alized! So a Vigilance Court was created. This court was to be a better means of enforcing the eleven rules of conduct for Fresh¬ men; to enable the Vigilance Committee to act as a dignified unit; and to make and enforce uniform punishments for infrac¬ tions of the Freshmen Rules. The Court’s jurisdiction extends over all incoming Freshmen. Charges for violating the Rules of Conduct are preferred by any member of the Vigilance Com¬ mittee, or by a Sophomore; and the officer making the arrest sub¬ mits the charges to the clerk of the court. The latter records all charges, presenting them to the Judges at the following session. If the charges are justifiable, sentences are passed, which are carried out by the Chief Execu- __ tioner and his assistants. Pun¬ ishment may consist of paddlings, writing essays, or performing certain duties pertaining to student activities. In spite of the success of the court and the favor and obedience with which it has met, new Freshmen Rules for the spring semester were proclaimed: 1. Wear Dinks. Wear jeans six weeks if Frosh win Sacramento Junior College Day. Wear jeans ten weeks if Frosh lose Sacramento Junior College Day. Put chairs in gym for assemblies. Put away chairs after assembles. Thirty-eight THE PIONEER VIGILANCE COURT COURT IN SESSION 6. No smoking on the campus. 7. Build all necessary bonfires. These rules will be enforced by the Vigilance Committee! CLASS DAY Sacramento Junior College Day, enthusiastically celebrated on March twenty-eighth, resulted in defeat for the aspiring Freshmen. Although the Sophomores were swept off their feet into the mud in the tug-of-war, they retaliated by conquering in the jousting match and the necktie rush. These two events, from a possible three, made them winners of the day. (The reader is referred to the snaps on page one hundred twenty.) The Junior College Class Day may mark the beginning of a new tradition. The interesting thing about this year’s war is that the Frosh wore their jeans three weeks longer.

The first debate of the year was with the College of the Pacific at Stock- ton on the question, Resolved: That Mussolini is a benefactor to Italy. Velma Evans and Lee Brown won on the affirmative with a 3-0 decision. The negative, composed of Clarence Glacken and William Shaw, gained a 2-1 verdict. Alternates for the team were Margaret Cropley, Helen Lyons, and Jiro Muramoto. San Mateo Junior College was faced on the subject, Resolved: That large bank mergers constitute a menace to the economic welfare of society. The affirmative team, Helen Lyons and William Shaw, easily defeated the visitors by a 3-0 vote. The negative team of Max Bogner and Thomas Stanton also returned home with a 2-1 decision. The alternate was Arthur Mellor. The third debate this year was held with the Santa Rosa Junior College the first Friday in May on the question, Resolved: That Latin-American immigration should be put on a quota basis. The affirmative team consisted of William Shaw and Elmer Stevens; the negative of Ralph Moore and Thomas Stanton; while the alternates were Jiro Muramoto and Ronald Anderson. Forty-one Trial By Jury O N Monday, Wednesday, and Friday of the week beginning December twelfth, Mr. Brickley’s two public speaking sections staged a most interesting classroom experiment, a trial by jury. This trial, in which every student had a share, was filled with complications and surprises, increas¬ ing the audience’s hilarity over the entire farce. The subject of the trial was a breach of promise suit for ten thousand dollars instituted by Chief Counsel Glacken in behalf of the fair Miss Helen Lyons. The defendant, Mr. Floyd Gostlin, although a hero in himself, was ably defended by Chief Counsel Shaw. The role of judge was wisely por¬ trayed by Mr. Brickley. The prosecution built a beautiful love tale with Mr. Gostlin’s proposal of marriage to Miss Lyons, and then his subsequent rejection of her for another woman. The introduction of letters, and colorful witnesses to the proposal seemed to assure a certain victory for the prosecution. But the court had failed to consider the penniless Mr. Gostlin. The defense endeavored to prove their client’s goodness, and the wickedness and greed of the plaintiff. Then the verdict was awaited from the jury, a virtuous body composed of faculty members and students. However, they failed the judge, by finding him guilty of accepting a bribe, and sentencing him to “wash his own dishes.” As a fitting climax, the news arrived that the defendant had eloped with the heroine “in the direction of the setting sun.” A second trial was held in May, with the addition of Mr. Swan’s class, on a case of attempted murder. Forty-two HE incoming Freshmen were welcomed to the student body at the £ semi-annual Kid Party in the gymnasium on the evening of ■ 1 September 23rd. Dressed in rompers, knickers, and equally child- ish attire, and perhaps dragging a teddy-bear or sucking a lolly- pop, the members of the student body danced to the music of a local orchestra. During the evening balloons were released for everyone’s amusement, and later, punch and animal crackers were served to satisfy one’s appetite. The President’s annual reception to the faculty was held on the evening of October fifth between the hours of eight and eleven. President and Mrs. J. B. Lillard were assisted in receiving their guests by Mrs. Robbins, Miss Cooledge, and Miss Minard. The reception room was decorated for this affair with greenery and lamps while the adjoining room, wherein refresh¬ ments were provided, was adorned with flowers and candles of lavender and gold. During the evening, the guests were entertained by a musical program furnished by two singers: Mrs. Frazee and Mr. Tulley, and two pianists: Mrs. Ward and Mr. Frazee. On the evening of October eighth, the Sacramento Junior College Band, under the direction of Mr. David L. Bumam, gave a concert and dance in the gymnasium. The band was assisted by the Glee Clubs in its musical program which was followed by dancing to a colored orchestra. These jazz- makers were located upon an elevated platform in the center of the hall, and this dias was banked with branches of pepper trees. Variegated lights, mostly in blue tones, were played about to create a fantastic effect. The dances on the program were named in honor of band instruments. The patrons and patroness at this affair were Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Tulley and Mr. Burnam. On the night of October twenty-ninth, another annual affair that drew a big crowd to the gymnasium was the Hallowe’en Hike which the Women’s Athletic Association sponsored. The committee in charge expended a great deal of effort in the execution of its plans, and a novel affair resulted. After a hike over wet grass to a haunted house in William Land Park, there was a great bonfire on the campus, in the shadow of which wieners, cider, dough¬ nuts, and apples were served in box lunches. Following this, games and dancing took place in the gymnasium. Prizes were awarded to the winners of the games. The gymnasium was scarcely recognizable behind the effective decorations of orange and black streamers, pumpkins and corn stalk among which one glimpsed black cats, and even a deadly spider. It was the aim of Forty-three THE PIONEER AUTUMN KID PARTY BAND DANCE Forty-four THE PIONEER those in charge to make this affair the most informal of the year, and those who are deserving of much credit in this attempt are: Mrs. Schuettner, Beryal Mendenhall, Nilan Norris, Sheldon Brandenburger, Norman Cruick- shanks, and Bill Woods. On Saturday evening, November fifth, the gymnasium again provided the Student Body with a source of entertainment. This evening, the Glee Club gave its dance for the fall semester. The hall was decorated with long strips of yellow and navy-blue crepe paper which stretched from the mid¬ point of the rooftree to three sides of the room. From the stage in the fourth side, came the music of the orchestra for those who danced beneath the canopy of color. During the evening, the men of the Glee Club sang Bartholomew’s “Three Chanteys.” The patrons and patronesses for the evening were: Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Tulley and Mr. and Mrs. Holland Frazee. Another affair of importance this evening of November fifth was the faculty party held in the reception room. On this occasion, the entertainment was provided by an interesting performance of making a “movie.” Mr. Seymour was the director; Mr. Sellman was the camera-man; and every member of the faculty had his place in the cast. After this novel amusement, in which, among other things, Mr. Bell carried a shrieking Miss Learnard out of the room on his shoulder, refreshments were served, and those who wished to dance went to the gymnasium where the Glee Club dance was progressing. The semi-annual Freshman Hard Time Party was held in the gymnasium on Thursday evening, November tenth. In keeping with the spirit of hard times, the gymnasium hall was not decorated, the floor was not polished, and everyone wore his old clothes. There were even prizes for the raggediest ones. Too, the “stag-line” was long, for this was a hard time party and few men could afford to take out a girl. A piano and saxophone upon the stage provided music, and punch and cookies were served to the poverty-stricken group. Dr. and Mrs. Burdick were the patron and patroness. The Girls’ Glee Club Party was held at the South Side Club House on Friday evening, December ninth. Musical games were played for which prizes were awarded to the winners, and much merriment was provoked when Mr. Tulley won a red balloon. Cake, sandwiches, and punch were served to the songsters, who were chaperoned by Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Tulley and Mr. and Mrs. H. Frazee. The William Land Club House provided the setting for the Girls Prom on Friday night, January thirteenth. Boys were eliminated at this affair which was sponsored by the Women’s League and the Women’s Athletic Association. The party took the form of a staggette, and Evelyn Ross and Ella Wimperis won the prize for the best dressed couple. Numerous stunts were staged, among which a track meet provided great thrills. Towards the close of the evening, sandwiches, cake, and punch were served to the hungry group. A faculty party, the evening of January twenty-seventh in the reception room, gave all the instructors a chance to discuss methods of making finals more difficult, as well as a chance to enjoy the Russian playlet, “The Pro¬ posal,” by Tchekoff. Mr. Swan, Mr. Sellman, and Miss Learnard acted the roles, and much amusement resulted when the unexpected appearance of an egg caused Mr. Swan to be stricken with stage fright. Forty-five SPRING KID PARTY BIG “S” DANCE Forty-six 1 r THE PIONEER On March the ninth, at the Kid Party in the gymnasium, under the guard of two great wooden soldiers that stood with the orchestra on the stage, the students, dressed as children, danced; once they romped through a Paul Jones that was called by Mr. Miller; and later, a few played bean bag. A feature of the evening was provided when Ella Wimperis and Evelyn Ross did a kid dance. Then, Ella Wimperis and Wells Harmon were awarded the prize for the most childlike costumes. When balloons were presented as favors, they were all “busted by the rowdies ,, within five minutes. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Linder, Mr. and Mrs. Robbins, and Mr. and Mrs. Kimber. The annual Big “S” Dance provided entertainment for the Student Body on the rainy evening of March the twenty-fourth. For this frolic the ceiling and walls were hung with strips of red and yellow crepe paper, and dimmed lights were cast upon two great paper S’s at the ends of the room. The panel-doors between the two gymnasiums were hung with four large drawings that portrayed the major sports; and set in a conspicuous place was the silver football trophy of the nineteen twenty-seven Championship Season. The “Night in Bagdad,” presented by the Art League in the gymnasium on the evening of April thirteenth, was the single formal affair of the season, as well as the social climax of the year. The two gymnasiums were con¬ nected by wide stairways at each side of the stage and both halls were used for dancing. The walls and ceiling were hung with grand draperies in reds and purples, and posters were hung about to represent Arabian tapestries. Great lanterns cast orange light and fantastic shadows. Small tables for the dancers, at which special sundaes and sodas could be ordered from Haremites, were set around the walls in the two rooms, and potted palms edged the dance floor. There was a pantomime to vivify the Arabian atmosphere. An old rajah, surrounded by his attendants in the palace, dreams of the days in his youth, when he visited the auction of slave girls in the cabaret of Beni-Mora, where he had won the love of beautiful Lalun from the attractions of a great shah’s wealth.

It is rumored that the principal purpose of this affair was to collect weird ideas for “The Wild Oat.” Then, on May eleventh, “At Home Day,” the Freshmen had a hard time party in the gym. All Sophomores were excluded from this frolic, and the Freshmen wore their old clothes in order that they could feel perfectly “at home.” The Sophomore Hop, a semi-formal affair in honor of the graduates, was given in the gym on May the eighteenth in order to give everyone an incentive to study for finals. The graduates were honored by the Alumni Association at a dance in the gym on the evening of June seventh. This last party gave everyone an excuse to yawn through the Sophomore breakfast the next morning. ONE PERSON’S IMPRESSIONS OF A NOON DANCE 9 COUPLE of Wednesdays during the fall semester saw a great surge of Eds and Co-Eds moving toward the gymnasium where noon dances were progressing. However, it seems as if the prime purpose of these affairs was not to dance, but rather to acquaint special students with the appearance of the interior of the gymnasium, as well as to give the girls a better view of the boys’ gym than one gets through the cracks betwixt the doors. Of course, a few of those classic couples, that are forever blocking the staircases and doorways by their slow progress, were taking advantage of the chance to gain a little more publicity by slowly gliding about the floor to the strains of a piano and perhaps a banjo or a saxophone. As for the rest of the participants, the girls enjoyed themselves by hanging over the balcony rail to gaze at their “secret-sorrows” who were sprawling on the gym mats in the corner of the parquet below. Of course, a good time was had by all! Forty-eight Tid-Bits From the Blotter ....Spooks will gather at their ren¬ dezvous (the college gym) on Sat¬ urday night, October 29, at 6:30.

Say, where did all the money go to that went into the Pioneer? Somebody had better appoint a committee to investigate this misediting and mismanaging of a student affair. RICHARD G. LILLARD, Editor. Fifty-two THE PIONEER Pioneer Modifications X N an endeavor to make our annual embody more thoroughly and more satisfactorily the spirit of the Junior College, a few new ideas have been tried this year, and a few old ones elaborated. 1. Due to a rapid, early organization of the staff and of the departments, the fall semester has been given more recognition than has been done heretofore in the Pioneer. 2. Deletion of notes on the graduates, the Hall of Honor, and of snap¬ shots which do not directly portray college activities other than lounging, has eliminated possible partiality to social classes. 3. A conviction that the English department no more deserves space than does the Mathematics department several full-page engravings of cal¬ culus, or the Zoology department some cuts or drawings of tape-worm cross- sections and shark brains, has led to the omission of a Literary department. 4. New activities have gained deserved space: the rise of women’s ath¬ letics, intramural sports, the stadium, dramatics, music; attempts to create interclass spirit; and the increase of the value of the cooperative store. 5. Throughout, features like the Faculty Gold Hunt, the Stadium, and the Hobo Club—a more novel book—have been sought. 6. More pictures of all activities, especially the social, have been added. To aid in this picture policy, three cameramen have been put on the Staff, and a Pioneer camera procured. 7. Space-absorbers—bunk—like the club write-ups of the previous years—have everywhere been left out, only untainted fact being granted space. Club events of note have been given space in the Diary. 8. General modifications to secure better organization of contents and to include more phases of college life have been made. We need an annual more expressive of college. 9. For the first time in the history of the Pioneer an attempt has been made to work out a theme both in art work and in printed matter. The Staff’s Work HE duties of most of the staff are explained by their titles, although a j few are not. The assistant editors, besides generally aiding in the editorial labors, performed specific functions. Kathryn Uhl did most of the art work, supervising the rest. Clarice Harber personally handled Debating, Classes, and compiled much of the data in Activities and Fine Arts. Ben Frantz collected the lists of graduates’ activities. Melvin Morse took most of the snapshots, made schedules for group sittings, and supervised their arrangement during sittings. Warren Gage and Raymond Walsh took the majority of the outdoor pictures in the book, and they have spent much time developing and printing them. These two, the first official student Pioneer Photographers, have been of great value to the annual, and have aided in making it a more independent student activity.

I reckon thet damn gambler is purty handy a dealin’.” Shifty Compton, who still had an ace and two queens in his right shirt sleeve, was also moved to comment on the gambling ethics of Mr. Eplett. “He’s a damned skunk,” announced Shifty after making sure that the bartender was not listening. “Always grabbin’ fer the gold, an’ not a bit pertickler how he gits it. But dang me, thet yaller dust don’t stick by no man fer long. An’ when it does turn agin him, he’s a goner. Now I remem¬ ber a feller down in Frisco—” and Shifty had embarked on his favorite yarn about a miner who had strangled to death on a stolen nugget. Outside of the saloon, Mr. Eplett leaned comfortably against a hitching post and watched with well-feigned indifference the approach of a blue calico skirt which had just appeared at the further end of J street. His present abstraction was, to be sure, contrary to his better judgment which long ago had told him that women and the gambling profession were not compatible. It was a force, then, stronger than his own volition which directed his gaze, and awoke in him a vague feeling of discomfort. As he watched, a warped old figure hustled out of the harness shop and joined the girl. Old Asa Dunley never missed an opportunity to “show off his gal to the hull blamed town.” Asa usually carried himself like a whipped cur. His shoulders, sagging de¬ jectedly beneath his red flannel shirt, bore witness to the hard luck which followed him persistently. Now, however, his shoulders straightened, and his scuffed and dirty boots clumped along in an awkward strut as he accompanied his daughter through the miners who had gathered to watch them pass. Respectability and good looks abounded among Sacramento women, but were sel¬ dom found in combination. Grace Dunley, blonde, pretty and gentle, represented a rare blend of these two characteristics. As she hurried through the groups of Immediately old Asa stiffened miners, she blushed with embarrassment Fifty-six THE PIONEER and sought to avoid their stares by looking out over their heads. Her eyes, however, encountered the direct gaze of Mr. Eplett, and he, with undue awkwardness, lifted his hat. Immediately old Asa stiffened. Although whiskey and a thin pocket- book had taken their toll of his self-respect, there was still one point upon which the old man was sensitive. In his opinion, any reflection upon his daughter called for a fight. “I don’t reckon,” he observed slowly, “thet my daughter cares to be spoke to by no low-down sneakin’ gambler. You kin keep yore party man¬ ners fer yore dancehall friends.” Mr. Eplett’s hand went instinctively to his holster, but dropped again to his side as he glimpsed a pair of frightened, pleading eyes over Asa’s shoulder. He turned abruptly and re-entered the saloon. “Wal I’ll be damned.” Hell-Cat gaped blankly. “An’ him with three notches in his gun already. I can’t Agger that.” Shifty Compton, however, has a solution to offer. “Losin’ his nerve,” announced Shifty in an authoritative voice as they moved toward the saloon. “I knowed a feller just like him in Sonora thet—” Only once before had Mr. Eplett decided to reform. That was on the occasion that Tuolumne Kate had caught him stacking the cards and had flourished a gun uncomfortably close to his left temple. The resolution, how¬ ever, had been a fleeting one and vanished the moment he was safely out of town. Now, after six hours communion with his soul in a far corner of the saloon, Mr. Eplett had firmly resolved to go straight and to so conduct himself that he might win the respect of Grace Dunley. He had hardly made the decision when he found himself across the table from Snakey Blake, a gentleman whose colorful name not only described his physical appearance, but also reflected his moral attributes to a startling degree of accuracy. Snakey had been imbibing freely and was growing confidential. “Hear about the shtagecoach hold-up just north of El Dorado yesherday mornin’?” he whispered in a tone that invited questioning. “Wanna know who did the job?” He chuckled in self-satisfaction. “None other’n yore lil’ fren’, Blakey. Purty shmart, huh?” He did not wait for the praise which he solicited, but continued, “But lishen, Jack, I can’t find no place to hide the gold, sh o if you’ll jus’ help me I’ll shplit it fifty- fifty. How ’bout it?” Mr. Eplett shook his head slowly. “Wha-at?” Snakey’s tone was in¬ credulous. “Whasha matter?” Further arguments on Snakey’s part were to no avail. Mr. Eplett remained firm in his refusal. Several glasses later Snakey confided another money-making scheme. “Ya know Asha Dunley?” he queried. “The one with the good-lookin’ gal? He shtruck a bonanza up in the Folsom dis¬ trict yesherday.” Mr. Eplett half rose from the table Fifty-seven THE PIONEER Mr. Eplett’s expression was one of tolerance and disbelief. Asa’s mining luck was a byword in the camps for the old man was always just two jumps behind the big strikes. “ ’Sfact,” Snakey assured him. “I figgered sump’n was wrong the way he shtrutted aroun’ thish mornin’ sho I got ’im drunk over in Jake’s place.” Snakey reflected gleefully. “Give me location an’ ever’thing. Here’s where you an’ me make shome money, Jack.” Mr. Eplett’s eyes glinted suddenly but his companion did not notice. “You can count me out,” said the gambler in dry, even tones. Snakey exploded with an oath, and then lapsed into a disgruntled silence. He threatened to become incommunicative, and Mr. Eplett plied him with another glass of whiskey. “How do you figure to get anything from this strike?” Mr. Eplett asked in a half-mocking tone to cover his anger. He was sure now that Snakey was telling the truth. “Well, it jus’ happensh thet he ain’t filed his claim at the land offish yet.” Snakey’s whisper was almost sarcastic. “An’ I intend to beat ’im to it.” “But what’s to keep him from registering his claim today?” pur sued Mr. Eplett. “Don’t you worry; lil’ Blakey took care of thet,” Snakey boasted. “I slipped him shome sleepin’ powders that’ll keep him snorin’ till tomorrer night. By thet time I kin make it up to the shtrike, drive my shtakes, come back down here, an’ file the claim.” Mr. Eplett half rose from the table, his usually passive face white with rage. “You—.” The epithet was lost as his gun roared twice, and Snakey lurched over the table, his head lolling miserably. When the smoke had cleared away, the various occupants of the Blue Wing Saloon poked white faces slowly and cautiously from behind over¬ turned tables and got warily to their feet, guns drawn. Mr. Eplett, seeing that escape was impossible, placed his gun upon the table and turned to face the crowd. The miners had always treated Snakey with a certain aloofness and contempt, but now they developed a sudden and intense affection for the deceased and a deep sorrow over his hasty departure from this life. Their grief, they decided, could only be abated when his murder was avenged. A jury was immediately selected and consisted of Hell-Cat Thompson, Sandy Tilford, and ten others who at various times had lost fabulous sums to Mr. Eplett and thereby considered themselves qualified to bring in a fair and unprejudiced verdict. A brief ten-minute session resulted in the decision that the defendant was guilty. Since it was already dusk, Hell-Cat suggested an immediate execution before the sheriff could interfere. Acting upon his advice, the miners dispersed and assembled again in a grove of oak trees east of Sutter’s Fort. Here, in the light of a huge bonfire and amid rousing cheers, Mr. Eplett was launched into an uncertain eternity. Later that night, when the miners had gone home to their cabins, satis¬ fied with having done a good work, a gruesome silence hung over the grove. A dark, ghastly figure swayed slightly among the trees, and a moonbeam, filtering through the leaves played wanly for a moment upon the features of Mr. Eplett, sardonic even in death. Then slowly, playfully, the moonbeam came to rest upon the frazzled yellow rope which encircled his neck, and there in the dim light it glittered like a thing of gold. Fifty-eight A Review of the Year g SURVEY of club activity during the past year shows that some of the clubs have flourished while others have declined. The Cosmopolitan Club, active during the first semester, was disorganized in the second semester. The officers for the fall semester were, G. Randhawa, president; E. Sueoka, vice-president; T. Myles, secretary; S. Pollan, treasurer; and A. Rahman, chairman of the council. In addition to this, the survey shows that there have been four new clubs organized: Key Club, College Y, Debate Forum, and the Dramatic Art Society. Each one of these organizations was formed at the demand of the students. The Dramatic Art Society is an organization of the students who partici¬ pate in dramatic productions. The Key Club has “Service” as its motto. One of the best interpretations of this motto was illustrated by the formation of a rally committee, with its services offered to the school. The Art League culminated all its activity by staging an Art Ball. This year’s affair was even more elaborate than last year’s. The Big “S” Society forced its way into recognition with its annual dance. Club influence extended outside of the school when La Adelpha, with the aid of all the Spanish classes, helped the Mexican Center and needy Mexican families during Thanksgiving and Christmas. W. A. A. industry continued throughout the year. Basketball, Track, Archery, Volley Ball, Drill, Dancing prevailed. W. A. A. girls served at the annual football dinner and were in evidence in handling the properties during the performances of “Hippolytus.” The Debate Forum has charge of all debates and debating. A debate manager is elected semi-annually to schedule and arrange debates. The W. C. T. U. national contest was again sponsored by the English Honor. Poetically-minded members have sent contributions to a poetry magazine. That the various organizations have exerted an influence upon student affairs is very evident. Their importance is even more marked now than it was last year and they are rapidly becoming an earnest element in student life. Fifty-nine ' Jr |[[_ THE PIONEER Alumni Association i W E, the undersigned Alumni of the Sacramento f I J Junior College, in order to more efficiently advance the best interests of our Alma Mater, and to better preserve that spirit of fellowship which is begotten of college associations, do ordain and establish this consti¬ tution for an Alumni Association of the Sacramento Junior College. So reads the preamble to the constitution of the newly-formed Alumni Association of the Sacramento Junior College. Vague rumors of the formation of such an organization have been heard for several semesters, but it was not until May of last year that such an organ¬ ization was finally launched on its way. • A preliminary organization meeting was held on May 31, 1927, and on the 8th day of June, 1927, the constitution and by-laws were duly adopted. On the 22nd day of June the first annual election of officers was held, and the following were elected to serve for the first year: SHRECK President .. Vice-President . Corresponding Secretary- Recording Secretary . Treasurer . Representative at Large. Representative at Large. _ Murle Shreck . Alvin Beach ... Charlotte Krebs . Leah Slater ...Wilmer Morse Leigh Shoemaker ' .Frances Fletcher The first semi-annual business meeting of the association was held on December 28, 1927, at the William Land club house. The business meeting was followed by an informal dance and entertainment. Other affairs sponsored by the organization have been an informal dance given at Memorial Hall in the new Municipal Auditorium, and an informal party and dance given at the William Land club house, in October and November, respectively. In the spring of this year, a bridge party was given for the members of the association and this was well attended. The association had a special reserved section at the San Bernardino game. Throughout the year Alumni have been in evidence at athletic con¬ tests, and other affairs participated in by the Junior College. In the future a special section will be reserved for Alumni at all important athletic contests. The growth of the organization has been remarkable. It has 136 charter members. Many of the members are attending other colleges, but this fact has not dulled their enthusiasm in the movement, a total membership now of 157. The association is planning a big homecoming day during commence¬ ment week, at which time a hi-jinx and reunion of the various classes has been planned. Junior Collegians can now rest assured that they have the means of continuing friendships and ties made while attending this institution, and also the opportunity of giving its future athletic teams, and the entire insti¬ tution, the united support of a fast growing organization.

C. is the only college in America with a real Hobo Club. The mem¬ bership is too large to be printed here. The City Board of Education has been kind enough to grant the organization the four oaks and two dead eucalyptus trees on the east edge of the campus, under which the club meets daily. The interests of the club are many. After a general meeting held at each meal, during which The Labor Problem, Rail Transportation, Government, and kindred subjects are discussed, the club breaks up into special sections. The Domestic Science Division is the most popular. Light cooking on the principle, “Make the Best of What You Have,” furnishes refreshments for each meeting. Utensils and materials used are found or made by members of the research department. This last semester members of the Literary section read Kipling’s “Jungle Book,” and “Robinson Crusoe.” A charming review of Twain’s “Roughin’ It” was presented and favorably received as containing helpful ideas. The Music division has worked up several numbers that deserve special mention. Particularly among the favorites are “Show Me the Way to Go Home” and “Workin’ de Railroad.” Those interested in engineering center their observa¬ tions upon the erection of the stadium, between naps. The Physical Education department was rather a flop, and worked under disadvantages this year, since members refused to keep in training and ate of whatever they could get hold of. Members of the Philosophical group con¬ dense the result of a year’s meditation upon Man: His Existence, into this hypothesis: “Aw, Hell! What’s the use?” The environment of the club is helpfully inspirational. The Board of Education has thoughtfully planted a double row of shade trees for the daily meditative promenade of the group. It is the wish of the organization to take this opportunity to express its deep gratitude. It is fitting that we close this summary of a year’s activity with the Code of Ethics contained in the constitution: Don’t grumble if you’re hungry—tomorrow you may be hungrier; con¬ serve America’s water, use it only for drinking purposes, And thankful be For the W.

Treasurer , Hazel Orelli The Women’s League, Formed last year, (Spring Semester, To be quite clear), Has a membership restricted To the women of the school, And a purpose most sincere And admirable as a rule. Even if the care of Freshmen girls Is the League’s chief indoor sport The committees, for variety, are Of several widely different sorts. For instance, one has charge of outside guests, A second furnishes the Women’s room, Another keeps in touch with absentees. And now for our history—in twenty-seven, in the fall, Comes much better organization, unity, interest and all; And a special speaker unveiling the whys and wheres of charm, And lastly a big staggette lest hard work do some harm. After the fall, the springtime—in nineteen and twenty-eight— To the League convention, Seattle, Wash., we sent a delegate. At Home, for a special finance stunt, there were scads of cake to sell, Then a party to crown the end of the term—we’ll say it went off well. Warning: If in the past you have looked askance, in the future we dare you to try it, For “a woman is quite a woman,” but a woman’s LEAGUE is a riot. Seventy-six (Note: See Glossary for identification of historical terms) Sept. 10-12—Registration During the days of ’49, 900 prospectors came to Camp Nugget from far and near in search of gold. All registered at the land office and looked for payin’ claims. Sept. 13—Opening of School The followin’ mornin’s found tenderfoot and tough down in the sluices pannin’. Sept. 15—Pioneer Chief Appointed On this date, hilarious miners held a conference. They selected “Prospectin’ ” Dick (of 80 or thereabouts) to keep track of camp history (town gossip) and to put out a year book of killin’s and such; a record of special good nuggets. Sept. 16—Dink-Jean Enforcement One morning, some hapless newcomers were found Defying an edict on restricted ground. Two factions developed to see the fight out, New comers were beaten and suffered a rout. But before they departed in bunks to lay low, The law of Camp Nugget they learned to their woe. Thereafter, observance of laws, aged and old, Gave peace to the land of the Card’nal and Gold. Sept. 19—Glee Club Tryouts One morning, some voices at sound of a gong, From the barroom issued in clamorous song. Tulley, the Singer, was trying them out — (He formed a camp chorus of those who could shout!) Sept. 20—Band Plays in Civic Auditorium at City Managers’ Convention At the dance-hall and cabaret down the street The band performed a marvelous feat— Accordion and fiddle scraped and squeaked— O’er shoulders of hearers sweet memories seeped. Sept. 23—First Assembly The new consignment was welcomed one day, In the same cabaret, in the usual way. Some speeches of welcome and warning were given, (New miners with awe to their places were riven.) Oct. 4—Music Shack Used by Band and Orchestra One autumn day, a certain shack was set aside for miners musically minded. Thereafter, the September 16th scraping of fiddles and the sad strains of Seventy-seven 3 THE PIONEER “Sweet Adeline” ceased to interrupt the tranquillity of fist fights and shootin’ scrapes in Jim’s place, where they’d been. Oct. 6—Call for Pioneer Staff Men A cry for learned men was raised, To tell of the Gold-Trails yearly blazed. All types applied—both dumb and wise— (For some misjudged their brain’s true size!) Oct. 7—Rally One autumn night with shouts and cries, With smiling faces, eager eyes, The miners yelled the morrow’s fate Of their fighting heroes on that date. Oct. 7—Wetherell Elected Yell Leader Politics marked this day. A camp crier of stakes was needed. One young dandy, Bud Wetherell, who hailed from the city of the Blessed Sacrament, to the North, was elected. Oct. 7—Freshmen Shoeshines Begin Some tenderfeet from way back east Conceived a thought (of thoughts the least!) They gave the miners’ boots slick shines Which vanished ’fore they reached their mines. Oct. 17-21—Vacation One week in October, a carnival came— Reports were spread concerning its fame— Miners deserted sluice box and stream For a week’s vacation (the joys of a dream). Oct. 27—Season’s First Rain Gentle rain drops caressed the land of the Mother Lode. Slick slickers were brought forth and caps were pulled over rebellious ears; but the busy figures still held their positions at the sluice boxes. Nov. 2-8—Discussion on Chico Game The annual poker battle between Camp Nugget and Camp Chico was “argufied” by every miner. Camp Chico went to law about it, and by a fine point dug from the depths of a dust covered law book claimed to prove that the battle was to take place at Camp Chico. So it came to pass. Nov. 4—Debate Tryouts The would-be spokesmen of the camp (potential lawyers) met. Six of these silver- tongued panners were chosen to represent Nugget in its verbal (more gentle) combats. Nov. 9—A Rainy Day The rigs and wagons got stuck in the roads, And settled in deep with the weight of their loads. Fair damsels sunk too in the slush and the slime, And the men were “Sir Walters” most of the time. Nov. 10—Babcock Speaks at Assembly A tenderfoot of great renown spoke before a gaping aggregation of gold-seekers. He advo¬ cated “cessation of strike” to skeptical tobacco-chewing old timers. The Big Boss, “Fighting” Cruickshanks, held the miners in order at the point of a mean pistol. (A lesson in deportment hitherto unheard of in “act like you like” Nugget.) Nov. 15—Noon-Day Dances Held in Gym About eleven loving couples struggled to the tune of “Turkey in the Straw,” while forty potential couples were separated by the length of the hall. (See page forty-eight.) Seventy-eight THE PIONEER Nov. 25—Thanksgiving Day This day in November Camp Nugget was dead, The streets were deserted—there wasn’t a head. Yet, in cabins set back ’neath the snow-covered pines, There was laughter and shout, and the clinking of tines. Dec. 1—Assembly Prior to Chico Game On the first of December, picks and shovels were cast aside. All panners “hiked in” to town to bet and drink to the coming brawl with Camp Chico. Dec. 3—“All Aboard for Chico” The prospectors boarded the caravan train, and headed by “Uncle Jerry” went to silence the unspeakable claims of that obstreperous camp. Dec. 8—Assembly Prior to the San Berdoo Game Once again the miners trooped into Nugget. There, the booted, sombrero-wearing mob was urged to fight the incoming foe. Dec. 8—Rally Prior to the San Berdoo Game The night ’fore the anticipated fight, the hard-working, hard-drinking miners met ’a horseback at the camp square. At that place they shouted dire curses and threats in unison ’gainst the invaders. Dec. 9—Big Game with San Bernardino Through spattered mud they fought and tore, From heavy bodies spilled the gore. They ploughed to victory, step by step, And saved the “digging’s” fighting rep. Dec. 16—“Hamlet” Given in Assembly Guns were hid ’neath bed and cot, And all the miners dressed a lot. They took themselves and their heavy feet To the lighted dance hall ’cross the street. With open mouths they watched the play— Their widened eyes ne’er looked away— As footlights gleamed on actors skilled Who played “Will’s Hamlet” (so ’twas billed!) Dec. 16—Camp Nugget Holds Court The town hall was the scene of the most exciting trial since “Ace” Harry shot “Slugger” Tom. The charming West House barmaid, Helen Lyons, brought suit against “Fuss” Gostlin for breach of promise and craved $10,000 to bring peace to her anguished heart. Attorneys Shaw and Glacken called all the witnesses up and down, and Justice of the Peace Brickley kept them apart at the point of his twin six-shooters. However, while the jury was out, the broken-hearted girl vanished. She was seen riding toward Dutch Flat with the defendant Gostlin. At this news, the Court was speedily adjourned. Jan. 3—Resumption of School At various hours, the miners were rushed into Nugget on returning stages and “hosses.” All of them had new boots and holsters and other mementoes of the Yuletide Season. The “wimmen folk” had bright silks and new “joolery.” Jan. 6—Petitions Appear for Councilmen Three days later, the town was all astir. Petitions for candidates for the Vigilance Inner Council appeared. Tobacco-stained, dirt-grimed, awkward fingers were kept busy signing the long sheets. At the same time, great signs were placarded on the Hall. Jan. 8—Final Lists Put Out An animated group of miners crowded around an official notice which announced a forth¬ coming assay of the ore of every prospector, December 8th Seventy-nine THE PIONEER December 16th January 10th and an accounting of the dust of the panners and sluicemen. ’Twas a gloomy foreboding for luckless or lazy workers. Jan. 10—Campaign Speeches in Assembly A big assembly was held at which the candi¬ dates appealed to the people. “Fighting” Cruickshanks, “Smiling” Vess, and “Panner” Charles were among those present. Each dis¬ tinguished himself by remarks made on his own behalf. Jan. 17—Dramatics Club Formed Heroic “Hamlet” started a fad In dram-a-ticks (’twas quite too bad!) Ambitious folk with high soaring minds And funny faces seemed to be “finds.” They gathered together (these actors famed) And their spirits rose and their genius flamed. They formed a club to improve their art, And give dramatics a better start. Jan. 22—Eightieth Anniversary of the Discovery of Gold in California Jan. 26—Council Election On the fated day, the town was packed. (The candidates were amply backed!) But “Smiling” Vess, the miner, ran And drew the votes (for a “Miner” can!) Jan. 30—Finals A discovery was made, one early morn, That Miners ’neath ill-stars were born. Some found good gold and made their stakes, While others found their claims were fakes. Feb. 9—Fences Appear on Campus Camp Nugget’s progressive citizens saw fit to enclose the trail between the two larger shacks. Of late, the few noisy wagons Of the camp had jeopardized the lives of passing miners. Moreover, in anticipation of permanent settlement, trees were planted within the corral. Feb. 10, 11—Registration A new ship docked in San Fran. From this far-distant city, ambitious tender-feet rolled in. They expected to find gold nuggets lying loose in all the fields. The “old-timers” said “it can’t be did; you’ve got to dig a bit.” Feb. 13—Opening Day of School On this day, the new miners straggled out into the “wide open” spaces and settled down on staked claims as had their predecessors five months before. Feb. 13—Assembly of Welcome Tenderfeet in Camp Nugget were hilariously greeted in a mass meeting of old and new miners. The new camp officials mounted the stump and gave short speeches, promising to give full support to the work of the Vigil¬ ance Committee. Feb. 13—The Paper Raises a Row The Placer Times contained a criticism by one “C. K.” of the assessment required be¬ fore signing up at the Town Hall. (See page 138.) The author did not hesitate to censure even “Honest” Jerry, our Sheriff, in most unusual terms. Feb. 15—S. B. Card Thermometer Graph Seen on Wall Camp Nugget gazed in wonder upon a chart 4 Eighty THE PIONEER hung in the main shack. The mystery of the thermometer was solved when “Poker” Pete learned that the chart represented the payment of the miners’ general as¬ sessment. Feb. 23—W. A. A. Plants Trees The walk in front of the hotel and cabaret is very long and it is exposed to the sun’s hot rays. On Thursday, the “wimmin” stopped knittin’ and sewin’ and planted two red-woods along its path. Feb. 24—Freshmen Are Given Intelligence Exam. The new crop of greenhorns underwent a severe ordeal today. Gathered together for an hour, each tried to put on a piece of paper what he knew of minerals. Feb. 24—Assembly to Discuss Rowing The loyal citizens of Camp Nugget met the miners of Camp Berkeley and held a council. The Berkeley miners harangued about canoe races and offered to “set up” some “genuin Injun” canoers. Generous miners promised gold-dust, and fifty Injuns stepped out to enter the races. Feb. 24—Band Plays in William Land Park while D. A. R. Plant Washington Elm In the midst of the native trees of the realm, The “skirts” were plantin’ a Washington Elm. The loyal band, they wandered far From their native haunts and the townships bar, In “George’s Mem’ry” they trudged the ground, Till a “calico” found them and led them around. At the Elm, they played a glorious strain To the measured drop of the soft-pouring rain. March 1—Fire in the Lab. About quitting time a blaze broke out among assay chemicals. Nearby workers hurried to the scene, and, amid hoarse shouts and curses, dragged up the hydraulic minin’ hose. Thanks to “Johnnie” Norton’s leadership, the blaze was put out, and little damage was done. March 2—“Hippolytus” A tragedy! Now, listen here! A tragedy, in Grecian gear! With sighing maidens, stately kings, And goddesses, and all them things. It just beat all I ever seen The way them actors be so mean. They stormed and raved, blasphemed, and lied — And then the whole derned outfit died. March 8—J. B. Lillard Leaves for Principals’ Convention “Honest” Jerry started overland to Chicago on this day with a golden harvest. He took news of Camp Nugget to the “windy” city. March 9—Interclass Track Meet; Hi Sophs Win The miners took time off to hold some races. Four gangs were formed — two of greenhorns against two groups of older men. The tender- feet and lesser toughs were left in the dust by the hard-boiled panners. March 9—S. J. C. Honor Meeting A “confab” of those miners who were getting returns was held this evening at Mike’s Place. After a rousing talk by “Doc” Leader, the gang pulled out the cards and bottles and played a hand. March 13—Dramatics Club Meeting At a cabin on the ravine, the actin’ miners February 10th,11th Eighty-one it THE PIONEER of Nugget gathered. “Two-fisted” John L. told ’em of op’ry and with a battered pi-ano brought tears to the eyes of the most nerve¬ less sharp-shooters. March 15—Cinch Notices Out The shine of fools’ gold lured some men to their death, Although some awoke with the March wind’s cool breath. Old bills were collected, and those fond of dreams Were startled, awakened, and freed from false gleams. March 15—Band, Glee, and Quartet Sang on Radio The best whisk(ey)ery tenors and wine(y) basses serenaded the country round with raucous strains of close harmony. The (al)- choleric band tooted a few strains. March 16—“Taming of the Shrew” Produced Old “Bill” was dug from ’neath books worn. (Some one had packed them ’round the Horn.) John L. conceived the Shrewess tamed, (Although Petruchio might be lamed.) ’Twas done one day before a mob With many a laugh and never a sob. The “Shrew was Tamed” and no one maimed. While “Blackie” and “Jake” were ever famed! March 17—Graduates Have Had Their Pictures Taken A tintype here, a tintype there — And tintypes taken everywhere — With miner’s hat and fiercest glare, With bright bandanas all aflare, With shining holsters, silver studs, High-heeled boots and snappy duds, The miners faced the camera’s eye Resolved to ever shine or die. March 27—Poker Players Kicked Out of Swan’s English Class The younger miners were “chips off the old blocks.” Although a group of them were forced to attend the little brick school house, they “persisted in” playing poker, as had been their wont. On this day, they invaded Swan’s “Dive” and March 28—Class Day—Frosh vs. Sophs The group met again — this time in three grand “free for all’s.” The tenderfeet pulled the toughs through the water, but they were overpowered in the rough and tumble. The grimy ancients were acclaimed victors. March 30—Debate Tryouts Eloquent speech shook the rafters in the big cabin when the argufyers were aroused. The best were chosen to meet other camps in tongue contests. Sh’wearing ish a great in¬ door shport — hie. March 20—Group Pictures for Pioneer Taken At this time, pictures of the “dead” men were takin’ for the year book of “killin’s” and were pitched out on their ears. Eighty-two 1(0 THE PIONEER such. A few live men were included, for the editor did not wish to slight any of this year’s problematical victims. April 9—Lelawala Rehearsal At Jim’s Place the Injuns held a “Pow Wow.” They strutted and rent the air with occasional songs. They plan to give a ceremonial in the near future. April 13—Art Ball The “gunners” gave a ball one night To the township’s undisguised delight. Most mirthfully they “hoed it down,” And raised the roof o’ the bloomin’ town. They gave a pag-unt at ten o’clock. (A new fangled thing to surprise the flock.) In costumes queer they paraded the hall, And gained the applause of one and all. April 15—Junior College Girls Take Part in Y. W. C. A. Ceremonial In robes most long, with solemn air To church advanced the younger fair. They entered, then, with praise and song They helped the noble cause along. April 16—S. J. C. Honor Meeting Again the lucky panners hove around to Bill Land’s cabin. “Doc” Burdick showed the gang a new system of running the camp, which is becoming a small-sized town. After feasting, they all pulled out. April 20—Pioneer Goes on Sale On this day, “Gentleman” Felix ambled about and demanded two bucks from his minin’ friends. He mumbled something to the effect that he would soon give each one his copy of “Near Murders and Killin’s.” April 20—Faculty Issue of Blotter “Doc” Burdick issued the second edition of the April “Weekly Gossip” in order that “Dame” Bishop’s tongue and pen might have a needed vacation. He was assisted by a few of the “Big Strike” men. April 28—“Lelawala” When ceremonial night arrived, The Injuns, who had long connived With shouts and screams the whites to scare, Produced the shock with utmost care. May 4—“Staggette” The Knitting League a party gave to women in the place, And there the tongues did wag and wag in gossips’ flying race. Both many a stitch and many a word were dropped in the evening’s length, And when ’twas o’er, full many a jaw was bereft of its usual strength. May 5—Fishing Season Opens On this day, the hardy, bewhiskered miners arose and climbed into clear mountain heights. They cast their lines in the gurgling brooks in an effort to entice the rainbow trout. May 11—“At Home” Day A group of future miners came To view the camp, behold its fame. They, then, past by, but left this word. That Nugget was by them preferred. May 11—Freshman Party The newest group of miners had a “get to¬ gether” and danced the evenin’ through. They came direct from the sluices and pranced about in bespattered coats and boots. May 16—A Perfect Day Pannin’ was dull today ’for the blossoms of the foot-hill country distracted the miners. June 8th Eighty-three For the second season, a host of swallows have built their nests in the eaves of the cabins. May 21—Pioneer Comes Out The book came out, and when unrolled, The story of our camp was told. No one was spared, nor good nor bad, No tale omitted good or sad. A simple statement of all facts (Before they reached the gossips’ backs) Was found therein in language wise, And to this day therein it lies. June 1—The Day School Was to Have Closed The miners were astir betimes as they began the day’s pannin’ and started the sluice boxes. Yet this murmur of discontent arose: “They told us we would work a new stream today!” June 8—Soph Day The older miners gave a feed (The best as yet they all agreed.) Then all together toured the ground Of Nugget Camp (the best around!) June 8—Graduation That night, they met again to say Farewell to friends of work and play. They hearkened to much wisdom old And planned that gold to ever hold. June 9—Dispersement The followin’ mornin’, elder miners climbed a’top horses and aboard the “Yellow Stage and went to San Fran. There they took ship and sailed into the unchartered waters of the Pacific. As the ship passed the Golden Gate the following 164 waved good-bye to the “Land of the Pioneer”: Eighty-four THE PIONEER GRADUATES y HE upper five per cent of the graduating class ranked accord- j ing to scholarship records for the students’ first three semesters is graduated with Great Distinction.

One Hundred THE PIONEER flfr ARCHITECT’S SKETCH OF STADIUM The Stadium a seating capacity of 25,000 the Sacramento Stadium situated on (1 the campus of the Sacramento Junior College will be ready for use when the institution opens next fall. Back of this monument to the cooperative spirit of the citizens of Sacra¬ mento, is the stadium commission for whose farsightedness and executive ability in raising the sum necessary to build the stadium the students of the Junior College should pay tribute. The stadium will cost, when completed, approximately $145,000. The present seating capacity, because of forethought shown in drawing up the plans for construction, will not be limited. In future years, if events which are staged in the stadium draw more than 25,000, it may be enlarged at no great additional expense. Inclosed within the stadium will be a football field built by the city board of education, and a quarter-mile running track with two 220-yard straight¬ aways at the south end of the structure, which is to be left open at present for ventilation purposes. All events which are held in the stadium will aid in its support. Script holders will be admitted free with the stadium commission redeeming eighty cents on the dollar. All events will contribute twenty per cent of their net receipts to the upkeep of the stadium. The building of the stadium will make Sacramento not only the capital of California, but the sport metropolis of Northern California as well. One Hundred Two Football ' ONARCH of all he surveys in the football world, is the Sacramento Junior College Panther. A season filled with climaxes and anti¬ climaxes was ended on December 10th to the joy of a bruised and weary group of gridiron warriors. But a happy, delirious, football¬ er - intoxicated student body would have been just as well satisfied if the season had stretched into the spring and perhaps into the summer. When one’s team goes into competition and defeats every eleven that it meets there is little happiness among the supporters when the moleskins are packed away to collect dust for a period of approximately nine months. SACRAMENTO 13; SAN JOSE 7 The San Jose State Teachers came here to engage the Panthers in the opening conference game. It was a confident group that Coach Knollin brought up from the prune country; it was the best football team that had been developed in that section for years. Anyone who attended the game can tell you what happened and how the hopes of the San Jose boys were dashed on the rocks of a 13 to 7 defeat. No one could get very enthusiastic over the victory, but it proved that the Panthers had a great deal of potential strength that could be unleashed when necessary. Sacramento scored the first touchdown in the opening quarter when Jack Hoxsie fell back and threw a perfect short pass into the waiting arms of Earl Lewis, but the try for point failed. Not for long were the Panthers to hold their lead, however. A few moments later the San Jose line came through to block a kick, and Jesse Regli, tackle, picked up the ball and ran for a touch¬ down and then made it a perfect day for himself by booting the ball between the stanchions for the extra point. But Sacramento did not trail long. Another forward pass, via the Hoxsie to Lewis route, put the home team back into the lead and made the local spectators breathe easier. Neither eleven did anything in the second half except batter at each other. The Panthers looked good in their first contest, using but four plays to beat the strong San Joseans. SACRAMENTO 6; SAN MATEO 0 What a game this one was. Heralded for weeks as the crucial combat of the year in the California Coast Conference, the realization on October 15th seemed just as wonderful as the anticipation a few weeks before. Sacramento One Hundred Three One Hundred Four ii THE PIONEER won because it understood the meaning of one word. That word was team¬ work. San Mateo relied more on the fleet feet of Ernie Ward and his accurate passes, but Ward had been spotted by Sacramento coaches and he did but little damage against the Panthers in an offensive way. Where San Mateo worked Ward, Sacramento gave the ball to all four of its backs which made its plays more deceptive. Neither team did a great deal in the first half. Fred Silva and Ward exchanged kicks during the first two periods and if there was any edge on distance, the home gridder had it. The two elevens walked off the field at half time with neither having succeeded in pushing over a marker. But the third quarter brought a score and on the right side of the ledger. Taking the ball deep in their own territory, the Panthers started an offensive. Emil Varanini went off left tackle for ten yards and Hoxsie passed to Lewis for a gain of fourteen yards. Silva sliced off tackle and then ran through the secondary defense thirty-four yards to the San Mateo ten-yard line before being downed. Two bucks by Hoxsie took the ball over. San Mateo made a stand in the last quarter and threw quite a scare into the locals, but could not make good and the gun ended the game with the Panthers starting another attack toward scoring turf. CALIFORNIA FRESHMEN 21; SACRAMENTO 0 Tired by their strenuous game the week before with San Mateo and badly outplayed in the two opening periods, the Panthers went down to defeat before the strong California Babes on October 22nd. California won the football game in the first two periods by using tricky reverse plays and a nice forward passing attack to score three touchtowns while Sacramento did nothing in an offensive way. The Panthers came back in the second half and played stiff, defensive football, holding the winners scoreless for thirty minutes, but were unable to break into the scoring columns themselves. NEVADA FRESHMEN 6; SACRAMENTO 26 Coach Schuettner let nearly all of his regulars sit on the bench and watch their substitutes perform in this contest and the reserves had no trouble in winning. Nick Bican and Nilan Norris were the only regulars who saw action, and Norris showed up like a million by racing for touchdowns on two occasions. Jerry Cross crossed the last white line for the first touchdown by carrying the ball on line bucks, while Don Didriksen put across another by intercepting a forward pass and running fifty-five yards. Nevada scored in the final quarter by way of a completed forward pass and one smash at the line. One Hundred Five One Hundred Six Jr THE PIONEER ft CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC 0; SACRAMENTO 37 This time the boys went to San Luis Obispo for a conference game and came back on the long end of the score again. The first string started the contest and ran up nineteen points by the end of the first half, and not to be outdone, the second eleven went in and smashed through for three more touchdowns in the last two periods. Passing and a consistent power attack that the “Poly” athletes could not stop was the big factor in returning our lads home with another decisive conference victory tucked away in the kit bag. MODESTO 6; SACRAMENTO 19 Modesto came here on November 18th determined to win and thereby earn a right to play Chico for the championship of the conference. But the Panthers had the same end in view and a slashing drive that knocked the visitors off their feet in the first half gave three touchdowns and a comfortable margin of victory. It was a good thing that Sacramento showed well in the opening periods, as in the second half Modesto started a rally that put across one touchdown and just did fail to shove over another. The cardinal and gold paid dearly for the victory, however. Emil Varanini, star passer and ball packer, broke his hand in the second half and was lost to the team for the remainder of the season. Varanini and Jack Hoxsie, with Hay East of the Modesto team, were the outstanding players of the game. SANTA ROSA 0; SACRAMENTO 44 Santa Rosa proved to be an easy victim. Seven touchdowns were shoved over with little effort and after the first quarter all of the reserves were thrown in to get some experience. Jerry Cross, who replaced the injured Varanini at halfback, showed what he could do by throwing several successful passes and plunging the line for consistent gains. Silva, Cross, Stewart, Ware and Underwood went over into scoring turf once each, with Bob Zarick crossing twice. CHICO 0; SACRAMENTO 7 Backed up by the band and a large rooting section, the Panthers traveled to Chico on December 10th to teach the Wildcats something about football. The Wildcats were not easy animals to pacify, but a thirty-yard pass from Cross to Norris, with the latter loping fifteen yards to scoring turf in the second period, proved to be the margin of difference. The victory was a mighty important one to Sacramento. It was the first time in four years of competition that Chico has been defeated by the home gang and it also meant that the conference championship had been brought where it should rest for One Hundred Seven [ THE PIONEER Our Yell Leaders Student Body Yell Leader.. . MEREDITH WETHERELL Assistant Yell Leader. .. ... JACK LEAK Assistant Yell Leader . ELROD BRADT LEAK ANI WETHERELL a while—in Sacramento. Both teams played fighting football, with the Panthers outgeneraling the Chico gridders throughout. It was smart tactics that swayed the balance to the Sacramento side, with the Wildcats being beaten only after a hard fight. There were individual stars on both squads, of course, but to all members of the Sacramento squad who participated in the battle should go the credit for the victory, while every member of the Chico group covered himself with glory by making a game battle before going down. SACRAMENTO 24; SAN BERNARDINO 0 Just about the highest honors that can be won by a junior college foot¬ ball team were gained by the Panthers on December 10th when the light but scrappy San Bernardino Junior College Indians were defeated 24 to 0 in a game for the state championship. Over 3000 shivered underneath a bleak sky at Moreing Field to see the contest which decided the state title. The Indians made a great stand for two quarters, but relentless pound¬ ing by our boys weakened them to a whisper in the final periods. Every member of the home team played great football to bring about the victory. Power plays which required a hard charging line worked beautifully and the backs found their holes with ease. AN OFF-TACKLE RUN AGAINST SAN BERNARDINO One Hundred Eight i THE PIONEER Earl Lewis snagged a forward pass and galloped forty-five yards to score the initial touchdown in the first quarter, and there were no more scores until after the second half got under way. Then the big drive started. Using line plays almost exclusively the ball was bucked down the field sixty yards to a touchdown with Jack Hoxsie crossing. Hoxsie did most of the ball toting in the smash. A few moments later the act was repeated with Gerald Cross and Hoxsie doing most of the carrying, with Jack again going over. The final touchdown came about as the result of an intercepted forward pass. Nilan Norris gathered in a San Bernardino heave deep in the Indian territory and returned the pigskin to the twenty-five yard line. Line bucks took it over for the final score, with Cross getting the honor.

One Hundred Nine Basketball HENEVER a team in a percentage sport can win more games than it loses, one may call the season of that team a successful one. And any time a coach can work with freshmen and turn them into a winning combination it is a fairly safe bet that championships are coming in that sport within the next few seasons. SAN JOSE SERIES San Jose ultimately won the championship of the conference and dropped only one game in so doing. It was no surprise when Coach Shipkey’s young recruits went down to defeat in the opening game at San Jose. The Spartans had an easy time taking the first contest, 21 to 20, but aided by experience the home boys came through the second game and held the highly touted San Joseans to 32 to 22 score after actually leading during the first half. Weight and experience kept the game for San Jose, however. SANTA BARBARA GAME “Dud” De Groot, who used to wear Ted Shipkey’s shirt down to Stanford when the latter was in his room and had no use for it, brought his Santa Barbara State Teachers here for the next game. The aforementioned Mr. Shipkey showed how far he has allowed his soul to be steeped with the sordid commercialism of coaching by having his cohorts step out and stop the Southern pedagogues, 24 to 19. FIRST MODESTO GAME Filled with all kinds of bright hopes of taking revenge for a beating administered in football, Modesto Junior College came here for a basket toss¬ ing contest. A brilliant rally in the closing minutes of the first half that piled up a score which could not be overcome kept the Modestoans from making good on their threat. The score was 63 to 47. One Hundred Ten THE PIONEER SANTA ROSA SERIES Santa Rosa was the first of many opponents of a long home stand by the Panthers. With the mistakes of the San Jose series fresh in their minds, the boys stepped out and put themselves back in the conference running by taking both combats from the Sonoma County institution. Both games were fairly close, the scoreboard registering 40 to 36 and 29 to 19. Captain Barber showed some great basket shooting ability to the fans. FIRST MARYSVILLE GAME Captain Barber shot more baskets than his teammates would allow the Marysville Junior College five to shoot, so Sacramento put a 47 to 23 victory in the record books in the first game between the two schools played here. CHICO SERIES Anyone who registers at the Chico State College or the Sacramento Junior College should be barred from writing about the other; so many mean things can be said which do not look good in print, but sound fine in conver¬ sation. Our valiant heroes came through in the first game, asserting the fundamental principles of Americanism over the Northerners and triumphed by a 33 to 22 count. Chico had a horseshoe in the second game and the ' so-called players who represented us could not shoot a basket, so the foe won 34 to 11. SECOND MODESTO GAME Modesto knocked the Panthers clear out of the running when she won the second contest at Modesto. The score was 53 to 24 and the details of the game are too many and too sad to discuss here. SAN MATEO SERIES San Mateo and Sacramento put up a brace of court battles here that should go down in basketball history. San Mateo was the winner of both contests and while the balance could have swung locally just as easily in the direction of Sacramento, the competition saved many a rooter from brooding over the defeats. Last minute rallies won both games for the peninsula aggregation. The scores were 43 to 41 and 37 to 36. A shot that hopped around on the hoop when the final gun went off and then decided to go ' through, won the second battle for the Bulldogs. MARIN SERIES Mariners should keep to the sea. Especially should they do their navi¬ gating on the ocean blue and keep out of jungles when a pack of Panthers become meat hungry. Starved because of four consecutive defeats and angered at the manner in which victories had been denied them, the jungle cats made quick work of Marin Junior College in a two-game series which closed the home season. Marin was clawed 30 to 18 in the initial game and 38 to 34 in the concluding affair. SECOND MARYSVILLE GAME Marysville was an easy victim in the final tilt of the year at Marysville. Sacramento won 40 to 26 and had no trouble in doing so. The members of the squad, those who received Block S’s being starred, are as follows: Ed Ambrogio, Ronald Anderson, O. Bailey, Ernest Barber, ' Glenston Brunson, Frank Didion, Donald Didriksen, Richard Husing, Henry McKenna, Davin Morey, ‘ Harry Morse, Harmon Rowe (manager), ' Leslie Saywell, Fred Silva, John Skog, ' Howard Thompson, ' James Traversi, and D. Ugario. One Hundred Eleven Baseball feature of the 1928 baseball season was the coaching of Harry Wrinkle on third base. If a few more men had reached the third M J cushion, Sacramento would have had some victories in the bag J at the end of the season, as after reaching that point Harry could have blown them home. If the purpose of athletics is not wholly to turn out winning teams, but also men, the 1928 season must have been a successful one. There were no games won, so all the emphasis probably was placed upon the development of manhood. The latter phase of athletics is not recorded in the won and lost column, however. Seriously, the season was a poor one. Poor defensive work cost the Panthers nearly all of their games and though the boys did some good work with the stick on occasions, the game usually trickled through some one’s ankles. A rebuilding policy was put into effect toward the close of the season. The conference games resulted as follow: Modesto 13; Sacramento 3. Ten errors were made by the Panthers in this game; and that accounts for the score. Tedd Smith did the mound work and got by in fair shape al¬ though the Modesto boys did some heavy slugging. Misplays and erratic support got Tedd in plenty of trouble that he could not wriggle out of. Our lads could not find the ball, or the game would likely have been going yet. San Mateo 8; Sacramento 6. Elwood Wright did the chucking for Sacramento in this contest and had lots of luck—all bad. He started out in wobbly fashion, but tightened up and pitched a nice game that went ten innings before being completed. One Hundred Twelve J THE PIONEER It Some of his mates would not hang onto the ball, h owever, and three errors in the tenth gave the Bulldogs the ball game after Sacramento had come from behind in the eighth to tie it up and had the winning run on first base in the ninth with none out. This was the only game played here. San Jose 15; Sacramento 11. The boys went right out after an error record in this combat, booting eleven while San Jose played steady ball in the field. Wright also pitched this game and hurled fair ball. San Jose 9; Sacramento 5. The second game of the San Jose series saw the Panthers put up a better contest. Elmer Wetenhall went to the hill and after Elmer settled down he looked like a moundsman. San Jose had the ball game won before the big fellow came down out of the clouds. This contest concluded the season. The members of the squad, lettermen starred, were: Pitchers, Elmer Wetenhall, Tedd Smith, :I: Elwood Wright, and Kelso Young; Catchers, Ellis Stackpoole, Hurshel Webb, and Denton Reese; First Basemen, Nick Bican (Captain), Alan Hart; Second Basemen, Bill Bush, Harry Wrinkle; Shortstops, George Fukushima, Tuley Miura; Third Basemen, Henry Lemon, Tedd Smith, and George Fukushima; Outfielders, Harvey Johnston, Gerald Cross, Tuley Miura, Soko Shiba, and Andrew Hender¬ son; Manager, Clarence Goulard. Track X NSPIRED by a youthful coach who only a year ago was throwing the javelin with the best athletes in the United States, S. J. C. had a real track and field squad this year. While the recprd of the Panthers this year was nothing to wax poetic about, they gave an outstanding performance as representatives of a school which has always been indifferent to the run¬ ning and leaping branch of athletics. Many meets were entered by the Panthers. Besides the California Coast Conference meeting at Palo Alto on May 5th in which Sacramento finished higher than she ever had in the past with a total of 8 points, Coach Ted Shipkey also put a team in the Superior California Relay Carnival held under the auspices of the Sacramento 20 - 30 Club. Dual meets were held with the California Aggies, San Jose State Teachers, Sacramen¬ to High School, and the Chico State Teachers. A three college meet, with Modesto Junior Col¬ lege entertaining San Mateo and Sacra¬ mento, was also held. may 4 sees the stadium rising steadily One Hundred Thirteen THE TRACK SQUAD Eight men were sent to the California Coast Conference meet and four of them returned with points. Lucius Jenkins leaped to a second place in the high jump and Wickliffe grabbed off a second for himself in the 880 yard run. These two athletes accounted for six of Sacramento’s eight points while Captain Nilan Norris with a fourth in the 220 yard dash and Thornton Betts with the same place in the 440 yard run added the other two scores. The first dual meet of the season was with San Jose State Teachers. With a veterans’ team, which had won the California Conference title for three years handrunning, there was no surprise when the Spartans showed their famed fortitude by crushing the Panthers under an 80 to 42 score. Lack of athletes who were good for second and third places cost the Panthers a meet with the California Aggies by an 84 4 to 37 4 count. Sacramento won seven first places with Norris and Bob Meckfessel doing the outstanding work of the day with two wins each. Quite a surprise was handed the Chico Teachers when the two teams met at Chico. The home boys were expected to be swamped by the Teachers, but surprised by holding the future child chastisers to a 69 to 52 decision. The outstanding performance of the meet was the winning of the relay by Sacramento in the fast time of 3 minutes, 34 and 6-10 seconds. The members of the squad and their events were as follows: ’ ' Nilan Norris, W. Floyd and -Harold Simms, 100 and 220 yard dashes; -Bob Meck¬ fessel, shot put and discus; -Lucius Jenkins, high jump and shot put; Thornton Betts, 440 yard run; Earl Lewis, 120 and 220 hurdles; Harrison Slawson, G. Wickliffe and -Henry McKenna, 880 and mile runs; George Fagan, javelin; Dan Ungario, broad jump; -W. Gage, high jump and pole valut; 0. Bailey, pole vault; Winstrom Bolden, shot put and discus; -C. Gordon, 120 and 220 hurdles. Lettermen are starred. One Hundred Fourteen THE PIONEER Tennis TENNIS TEAM by virtue of its having tied for second place in the j California Coast Conference tournament at Palo Alto, on May 5th, completed the season successfully. The tournament had representatives from nine junior colleges. San Mateo won with 8 points, winning doubles and taking second in the singles. San Jose, by winning singles, and Sacramento, by taking second in doubles and third in singles, tied for second place with 5 points each. S. J. C. was represented by Ed. Levy and John Evans. Summary of the meet: Ed. Levy eliminated Swain (San Luis Obispo) and Simon (San Jose State) before defaulting to Mauser (San Mateo) because of fatigue. John Evans eliminated Wheeler (Chico State) and Smith (Modesto) before bowing to Niederauer (San Jose State), the champion. Evans then defeated Funk (San Luis Obispo) in three hard sets to take third in the singles. In doubles, Levy and Evans put out Modesto and Chico State, but fell before a fine San Mateo team in the finals. Earlier in the season in two meets with Modesto, the team won seven and lost five matches. In these events, Levy and Evans won their singles twice, and won and lost a singles match, losing one doubles. Colby Emigh and Ono lost the other doubles. The squad: Ed Levy, John Evans, Frank Didion, Elbe Miller, Eugene Pickett, Colby Emigh, Tatsuo Ono, George Sherman. Dr. Burdick, coach and adviser, attended the team on all trips, and is responsible for initiating tennis as a conference sport. One Hundred Fifteen r THE PIONEER V - Intramural Basketball H OR the purpose of developing athletes and also for the more altruistic purpose of giving pleasure to the novice in certain sports, an intramural system was started here two years ago. Baseball and basketball have been carried on under the system. While not a great success in bringing to light material for the varsity, the enthusiasm of the students in forming teams has shown that the plan has had success as a recreational movement. Ten teams were entered in the basketball league this year, and due to the large number, were placed in “A” and “B” divisions. The Grandstanders, Engineers, Goldbrickers, Pirates, and Far-Eastern Stars were the teams entered in the “A” class, while the “B” division was composed of the Sphinxes, Zarick’s All-Stars, Groundhogs, Invincibles, and Faculty quintets. Due to other activities’ claiming the gymnasium, the play for the champion¬ ship was not finished. The Faculty team was leading the “B” division with four games won and none lost; the Grandstanders, Engineers, and Gold¬ brickers leading the “A” division with three games won and none lost, when play ceased. The Faculty team was the feature of the season. The pedagogues’ squad consisted of the following: Ted Shipkey, A. J. Schuettner, J. B. Matthews, Clarence Nash, W. L. Burdick, H. C. Copeland, D. L. Burnam, S. W. Tulley. The members of the leading teams in the “A” division were: Grandstanders—M. Bogner, R. Dickson, E. Davis, H. Gilbert, Remick, Jesse Prentiss, D. Beswick, Ed. Levy; Engineers—Carroll Underwood, C. Janak, V. Miner, E. Elder, C. Castello, W. Gostlin, W. Gage; Goldbrickers—E. Wilkins, B. Van Eaton, B. Murray, P. De Bock, D. Reese, H. Webb, I. Tofft, R. Whitsell. Aesthetic Dancing SPECIAL dancing features in the form of ballet divertisements have several times been produced by the Physical Education Department under Mrs. Schuettner. The first ballet was presented in the Greek tragedy, Antigone, in the spring of 1927. It contained a corps of fifty-eight men and women and two soloists who appeared variously in six entrees. Hippolytus contained a smaller, more specialized group of thirty-nine, a number of whom were soloists. In all cases the choreography has been composed and directed by Mrs. Schuettner. At the Art Ball of 1927 a ballet by a corps of women was a feature. Numbers were given on At Home Day, May 11, 1928, by mixed groups.

Brand One Hundred Sixteen THE PIONEER ON THE WATER IN THE PRACTICE BA RGE AT LAST. INTENSIVE PRACTICE BEGAN APRIL 30 Crewing, the Sport of the Future a NLESS all plans fail, the Sacramento Junior College will be occupying an unique position in the athletic world next year. The inauguration of crew as a major sport here will mean that the Junior College will be the only institution of its class sponsoring the rowing sport. At present the University of California and the University of Washington are the only coast colleges supporting crew. It was only through a chain of fortunate circumstances that the sport became possible here. The University of California offered two shells to the University of Oregon. They were not used and this winter were offered to the Junior College. The offer was accepted and Russell Dunwoody, who with his brother, Kenneth Dunwoody, played a big part in securing the shells for Sacramento, volunteered to act as coach. Dunwoody rowed two years on the California varsity. California, while altruistic in giving equipment to the college, will profit by the offer. Due to the growth of the J. C. system, lower division crew men become scarcer; the development of oarsmen became a problem. The training which the men entering California later receive here will pro¬ vide seasoned material for U. C. Regattas will soon be held on the Sacra¬ mento River, in which the Panthers will offer good practice competition for the Golden Bears. One Hundred Seventeen f, ' Jf i THE PIONEER H ROM the first weeks of the fall semester, systematic managing has developed teams and conducted tournaments that have resulted in a stronger interest in women’s athletics than has characterized any previous year. The first semester saw the appointment of a manager and two captains from each class group. Teams signed up and practice games gave way to elimination tournaments. Volleyball initiated the first interclass competition. The Freshmen made their formal debut by playing two keenly contested games in which their opponents, the Sophomores, were victorious by scores of 21-20 and 10-9. Minor sports were active in both semesters. A drill team worked out complicated movements, the feature of their practice being the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. Before the opening of the tanks a swimming group con¬ ducted dry land practice in side stroke, back stroke, breast stroke, and crawl, with a little diving, followed by elimination contests late in the semester. One Hundred Eighteen THE PIONEER TRACK TEAMS Intramural basketball followed with the formation of five groups, the Flames, Brownies, Pirates, Pioneers, and O. A S.

Evelyn Tambert Dorothy Greene . Centers . Esta Sneed Harriet Ladd . Guards . Agnes Orr At the first of the spring semester tennis tournaments were organized and elimination begun. Archery, a new sport, developed a quantity of skill in steady muscular control and clear vision. Track was the major sport of the spring, attracting a larger number of women than heretofore. The main event of the season was an interclass track meet, from which the Sophomores drew the highest points: Sophomores 5 firsts. .25 Freshmen 3 firsts. .15 5 seconds. .15 3 seconds . . 9 3 thirds. .. 6 3 thirds. . 6 46 points 30 points One Hundred Nineteen THE PIONEER % % One Hundred Twenty dfffi ° ‘ § $ eT - o f j C-reat Dotiwct Conbatt Be i n Hi H s .o-t rro%h T a33l.itt ( § • Plantation: raZf T ' - ferr used - oN ' raiwy-days iFo ur PictureSQuc G-lmpses - tfie.-Ju r nor 3 THE PIONEER A kS_ v «� One Hundred Twenty-two ] THE PIONEER FOOLS’GOLD or All Is Not Gold That Glitters Being In One Complete Volume The Wonderful Adventures of Goldilocks Foreword ELL A TALE of bygone days! of the scramble for eggs and gold! in ore (the i gold), in sand, in the crucible, with hose, mortar, pestle; or recount the various types of gold: Gold (German) or (French) auro (Spanish) Aurum (Latin) ????

The Editor got some Gold Dust up his nose and sneezed. The title of the book is the Golden Fleece. Pretty good and appropriate name, huh? What say? The tale of Gold like that of a dog is doggoned peculiar. It has always been linked up with Goldilocks, the fair, the lovable, the lily maid of Ask-a-lot. Goldilocks! The beautiful maiden. Goldilocks! The Golden Fleece, the theme of 1928! 4 One Hundred Twenty-three THE PIONEER The Adventures of Goldilocks i HE first day Goldilocks, the Pioneer Girl, came to Sacramento Junior j College, she went to an assembly. The following things happened, to-wit: Speeches of welcome by the Student Body President, Vice- President, Secretary, Sophomore President, Vice-President, Secretary, Fresh¬ man President, Vice-President, Secretary, Social Manager, Assistant Social Manager, Debate Manager, Coach, Assistant Coach, President of the College, Dean of Women, Dean of Men, Dean of Extra Curricular Activities, Head Janitor, Football Captain, Presidents of Oi-Oi and Hi Yi clubs. The next un¬ dertaking was an attempt to sing the school song Wail, Wail twess Jay Zee! with which about one-tenth of one percent were familiar. The band came through victorious. The president of the student body then discussed student body ideals, the president of the sophomore class discussed sophomore ideals, the president of the freshman class discussed freshman ideals. The president of the college then solemnly arose and discussed pugilism. Referring to the Dempsey-Tunney fight he said in part: “Both played the game well. They were good losers. They knew how to play the game, and I may say, they played it well. Both had ideals and neither tolerated any unfair fighting— to summarize they played the game well. ,, He then told the freshmen that they were always welcome in his office, asking them to make a habit of dropping in and offering their advice on the administration of academic affairs. We quote him thus: “Suffer little freshmen to come unto me, for of such is the sanctum of Lillard.” Goldilocks gradually became acquainted with the college landmarks such as: the officious and formidable mail box in front; the pretentious Junior College sign on Twelfth avenue; and the wide, graceful turn at the northeast corner of the campus, which she was informed reflects the glory of our own engineers. She admired the beautiful white enamelled oak posts strung with platinum wire, which extend from the gym to the main building. These posts do not lose their color by rain, nor does the wire rust, thus, they never lose their pristine glory. We have reliable information that these posts were donated by an unknown philanthropist who could think of no better place to dump his refuse. Patronizing the cafe, she quickly became familiar with the non-functioning salt shakers and the catsupless ketchup bottles. Goldi¬ locks was for a long while puzzled by the beautifully grained board belonging to the English Honor Society. Once she saw a notice on it, and at last satisfactorily concluded that this was a bulletin board. Among the faculty, Goldilocks came to know the following types: the teacher who gives nothing but discuss questions on an examination; the in¬ structor who is always asking for opinions; the one who gives assignments over vacation; the fussy teacher who demands that your name be y 2 inch from the left, that the date be underlined, and the topic written upside down, and so on ad infinitum; the one who says “and I think Mr. Swan will agree with me”; and, lastly, the one who says, “I’ll tell you, but you needn’t put it down in your notes, I’ll never ask you for it.” Upon every hand she met the following types of students: the one who always ends his recitation by declaring, “It says so in the book”; the person who salutes you with “How goes it” or “Well, whaddya say?”, and the moralist who leaves you with, “Be good!”; the linguist who greets you with One Hundred Twenty-four 3 . THE PIONEER “Comment-allez-vous?”; the smart little youngster who always says, “Your type would”; the imbecile who leaves all sorts of candy wrappers, boxes, gum packages on the library tables; also the farsighted individual who studies Spanish with the hope of going to South America some day; the soft-soaping students who say, “Well, howdya get along in that ex this morning,” and especially the straight A student who vows he hasn’t studied a bit and just knows he flunked; the student who is always hanging around the bulletin board so as not to miss anything; the club president who rushes around hanging up notices, and asking the members, “Will you be there tonight?”; the generous student who insists that you take a fig bar, a lemon drop or a few peanuts; the fellow who borrows a blue book from you just before an ex; the student debater who ends his speech by saying, “I have proved .... therefore I maintain ....”; the girl who continually powders her nose; the bright guy who continually tries to baffle the teacher with deep and profound questions which nobody cares a whoop about. One day Goldilocks came to school on the bus. Her time schedule for the benefit of the posterity is given here: 6:45 left tenth and Kay streets; 7:20 arrived at twenty-first street and second avenue; 7:46 took bus for Junior College; arrived at her destination at 7:5934. The busses were noise¬ less and did not begin to vibrate violently till they accelerated to ten miles per hour. The effect of the vibration on her ears was delightful. All parts of the car seemed to buzz together harmoniously and melodiously. Not having a nickel, Goldilocks sauntered home that evening and beat the car by 250 feet, 10 inches. This, however, is not considered a record. During the year petite Goldilocks noticed the following. The library reference system—this rare device makes it possible for some forgetful student to take a reserved book out unnoticed, thereby causing great e- and corn-motion. We recommend that each reserve book have a little tinkling bell attached to it. This would be an easy method of keeping track of the books and enormously increase the efficiency of the system. The Numskull Prize goes to the well poised and reserved young gallant who comes to the Kid Party in his dress suit. If the delightful little chap doesn’t wish to sully his ermine or stain his priceless poise, dignity and so on, why in the heck doesn’t he stay home? The second prize goes to the outside fellow with the overflowing supply of cheek and nerve who manages to attend every Kid Party or free dance held at the college. From a good source Goldilocks received this juicy morsel: Mr. Cook: “What, no council meeting today?” Prominent Student Body Officer: “No, Mr. Cook, we’re having the lunch meeting of the Engineers, and we’ve postponed the meeting till next time.” Quoth the Bible: “Well done, my good and faithful servant.” One balmy day in January all the graduating engineers assembled in a mighty throng and elected the high sophomore officers. In the words of old King Louie, “L’etat, c’est moi!” One of the most beautiful sights in the institution is the bulletin board in front of the office. The signs are uniform in size, color and printing. The office has always taken care to see that the boards appear artistic, and we are glad to announce that this rule has been enforced. It is a thrill to see what artistic appreciation the students exhibit in their signs on the notice board. One afternoon Goldilocks, full of high ambitions and candy bars, traipsed One Hundred Twenty-five i THE PIONEER out to Orientation. She was thrilled at the thought of being initiated into the mysteries of the Far East. Much disappointed, she found it was only a class devoted to the Higher Seriousness of Peripatetic Existence. She learned such things as: not to blow out the gas, the importance of keeping her finger nails clipped, and how to bluff the faculty. In fact it was here that she received the inspiration and guidance that led her into her great career of shoplifting. Goldilocks gets her catalog— CATALOG GENERAL HISTORY Ever since the good old days when Dean Cooledge taught Parcheese, tiddly-winks and Sanscrit in a little s hack on Front and K, the Sacramento Junior College has been steadily growing in the favor of the kiddies. The new Junior College is surrounded by a marvelous sixty-one acre tract which includes a combination football, baseball and track field, not to mention a flourishing mosquito swamp and a sure skid parking court. The campus abounds in all sorts of botanical specimens from filaree, to mustard plants and Bermuda grass. Its appearance has lately been improved by the erection of an artistically whitewashed bobbed-wire fence stretching from the main building to the gym. This was planned and built by the Archi¬ tectural department of the college. The cafeteria is the main building of the institution. It is a cleverly camouflaged little building just ff the main heating system, on the northern part of the campus. Across the pretentious College Boulevard from the Caf. the Music building is situated. It is a five-story structure executed in marble. Five new Wurlitzer organs have recently been installed. The combination gymnasium and assembly is equipped with modern elevators and fire escapes. A fencing ground on the roof has just been completed. The main building is famous for its archway. This has the distinction of being the world’s windiest place. The new five thousand dollar stadium is just being built. Funds are being raised by popular subscription and it is predicted that the stadium will be completed to celebrate the tricennial exposition on Washington’s Birthday, February 22, 2032. Sacramento Jr. College is the Biggest J. C. in Sacramento. Data on this may be obtained from C. C. Hughes. ADVICE TO FRESHMEN Freshmen are urged to call their instructors by their first names and even nicknames if possible, as: Jeannie (Minard), Bob (McCormick), Art (Schuettner), Tillie (Schuettner), Johnny (Norton, Swan, Seymour), Belle (Cooledge), Maggie (Eastman), Jerry (Lillard). Experience has shown that most instructors like candy bars. If the incoming Freshmen could arrange to present his instructors with candy bars periodically, their grades will be helped materially. (Junior College bulletin No. 4281A gives the complete list of the faculty with their favorite candies.) Freshmen should not interfere with the industrious janitors and therefore should cultivate the habit of holding all conversations and flirtations in the library. The librarians have not only agreed to this, but even went so far as to suggest it. One Hundred Twenty-six THE PIONEER If a student cuts, it is important that before going to class next time he think up a good alibi. Failure to do this necessitates inventing another. Freshmen wishing to accumulate honor points should register ten times for gym. A word to the wise is sufficient—and the incoming student would do well to get on good terms with the cafeteria staff, thus insuring big scoops of mashed potatoes and lots of gravy. The office staff is always ready to listen to Freshmen woes, and the staff should be approached either when they are registering the new students or when they are marking the grades on the cards, these being their two quiet seasons. Further, Freshmen should cultivate their critical abilities by correcting all the poor spelling, grammar, and punctuation on the office notice boards. Freshmen should study at least a half an hour a day, but no more under any circumstances; do not let the instructor impose upon you.

PRETZEL MAKES WEIRD DISCOVERY After three hundred years of re¬ search, Professor Gregorio Ignatius Pretzel has succeeded in stalking down the bugbear of the English language and ferreting out its secrets with the cunning of a fox. He has reduced its weightiest epics to a simple scale of twenty-six ele¬ ments which he calls the alphabet. Applying his twenty-six perfect principles, he is now at work analys¬ ing the funny papers.

Slippery McQuirk Reporter and Collector -- S. J. McQuirk SOCIETY COLUMN In one of the finest doings since Tomcat Riley found his thousand- dollar nugget by the old Bar Saloon, Miss Jeannie Minard and petit Johnny Norton, professor at the Nugget Ford Junior College, were joined in holy sanctimony. They presented a most pleasing cupple, both being about the same size. The bride wore a little middy be¬ sprinkled with asters and gala lilies. The groom wore a suit, and was attended by Johnnie Swan and Heinie Leader. Old Link Stewart, with wife and four kids went up to Gory Gulch fer a while. Link thinks he will make a strike along the road some¬ how. Stubby Copeland has just moved into his new cabin up on the hill. Stub says he likes it. Wishya luck, Stub. Holly Frazee and Wes Gayman have opened up a new saloon in the Ford. They have called it the Bar X At a poker social given in the old Last Chance Mine office by the Widow Partridge, Learned Mary Jane, and little Donna (Maggie Eastman’s willing assistant), Erlon Perkins announced his engagement to Mary Wood. Perkins was the winner of the Tallest-Man-in-Nug- get-Ford Contest conducted by Pay Dirt some time ago. Eddie Cook and Belle Cooledge have bought a new horse’n buggy. They said they had a lucky strike up Hangville way. EDITORIALS In the interests of health and sani¬ tation, we, that is, me and my shadow, wish to call the attention of the darling public to one of the most insidious evils of our college. Some¬ thing must be done to abolish the filthy custom of filling fountain pens at a common ink-well. The horri¬ ble contamination is actually de¬ moralizing, what we mean. Such- and such a number of students (?) are in the habit of filling their foun¬ tain pens from a common inkwell a certain number of times every so many days—just think of that! It all goes to prove that the old gray mare isn’t what she used to be. (Proofreader’s note: Maybe she never was.) Dear reader, do you know that the ink used on this paper came from the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen? We don’t either. This is the age of chewing gum. Nowhere is this better recognized than in the seats of higher learning. At Nugget Ford Junior College, we are bidding fair to lead the kinder¬ gartens in consumption of chewing gum. If all the sticks masticated by students during the past year were laid end to end, the line would reach from here to goodness knows where. A green frosh can’t write a red-hot blue-book if he’s in a brown study. MISCELLANEOUS Lost—One gold tooth, valued as keepsake. Please return to the Smith Brothers. Lost—During finals, lots of sleep. Wanted—An automatic pencil. (Most of them have to be lead— led, see?) (Editor’s Note: Don’t you know that a pun is the cheapest form of wit? Answer: Yes, but it’s the only kind we can afford at the end of the month.)

Editor Pay Dirt, Dear Sir: So great and poorly controlled is my admiration for the president of the Nugget Ford Junior College that I cannot, though I were to try with five and seventy oxen, repress this humble, simple, and inordinate pane¬ gyric. Such magnanimous volition to . serve ones community, as this noble scion has demonstrated, should never be overlooked, if one has the power to appreciate and evaluate and even to extol this mighty contribution to urbane pedagogy.

Hopefully, Annie Ominous. P. S. It might help to know that I was born on April Fool’s Day. A. O. Annie Ominous: Since you were born on April Fool’s Day you should seek someone born on the twenty-ninth of February, prefer¬ ably someone with a mole on the left thumb. And here is a horrible letter we must publish as a warning to our fair readers. Let this be a lesson to you. Dear Simpering Sue: I’ve been keeping company with Arabella for seven years, bringing her a bag of jelly beans and a bunch of dandelions every Sunday. But lately she seems to have lost her appetite for the sweets, and she just lets the posies wilt. The other night when I went to see her, I found an¬ other man’s rubbers on the front porch, and peeking in the window, I saw Arabella and Adam Apple sit¬ ting on the sofa looking at the photygraft album. I was paralysed with jealousy and cut to the quick by the perfidy of my treacherous sweetheart.

TESTIMONIALS Editor Pay Dirt: For a long time I was troubled with blinking eyes, growing toenails, and a peculiar growth of hair on my face that forced me to shave every day. All this cost me great trouble and no little pain. I searched for years for a remedy and found none. At last a friend told me of Dr. Twiddledum’s celebrated salve called Twiddledee.

Come to my arms and receive the embrace of a woman who loves thee!” (Coitan) In the course of the year Goldilocks discovered that one of the most highly cherished and respected groups in the college was composed of smokers and card players who sit out, either in their own cars or those of others, and smoke and play Old Maid, Casino, and Pit. This group is loved by all because it never infringes on anyone else’s rights, has great moral courage, and is not tarnishing the fair name of S. J. C. In fact these chaps have inherited the name of “goody-goodies” and “nice” boys, but so great is their courage that they hold up in spite of the jeers and scoffs of the rabble. At the end of the year Goldilocks received her Pioneer. Immediately it confirmed her views that all annuals are bunk, pure and undefiled. Finally she came to the Fools’ Gold! Laff! Mah stahs, how she did laff! But oh how reedeeculous! What a job to be funny! What poor, feeble, antiquated, hackneyed, trite, unavail¬ ing, inexcusable, unignoscible, irreparable, unjustifiable, unmitigated, squirm- ish, idiotic, fantastic, moronic, despicable, amateurish attempts at humor. Such old tricks! Trying to be funny by twisting people’s names around, by making absurd names, by being sarcastic, and by trying to imitate the ’49ers language. And then trying to punish us by puny puns! She laffed Then she laffed some more Then she laffed again Further she laffed To summarize she laughed To recapitulate she laughed To conclude she laughed And laffed and laughed and lafed at us Here endeth the W.

The Press wrote this for the Good of The People, but it was bought off by malicious interests. The Pioneer has paid a heavy price for printing it. The names, have, of course, been altered to protect the personalities involved.) X T was the night before the Big Game in the college city of Paloberk. All students were in their rooms preparing their recitations for the following Monday. A dark, sinister figure strode by a light followed by two more of the same. (N. B. sinister figures strode by, not lights.) “Curse you, Jack Dalton,” hissed Harry Hairlip to one of his cronies. “I’ll polish him off before the night is o’er,” sneezed back Dalton. “See that you do then or else our goulash is cooked,” sneered back Harry. (An annoying habit of the villain to sneer, but necessary.) Up in his room with the covers grasped tightly around his neck and his toes sticking out, slumbered our hero, Percival Fairfax. A smile wiggled across his face and he moved his toes happily. He was at peace, thinking of the Big Game. The moon shone brightly on his fair face. He slept on, unmindful of the storm which raged outside. His long black hair was combed straight back revealing his high forehead. In age, as measured by the moons, he was twenty; his intelligence quotient made the registrar suspect he had been born on a leap year. Suddenly a stealthy hand crept into the window and unlatched the door. A sinister figure crept into the room. It was three minutes before the Big Game. Through the stands there ran a shiver. Where was Percival Fairfax? The coach was frantic. Up in the best seat in the stadium in back of a girder sat Harry Hairlip and Jack Dalton with evil and satisfied smiles on their faces. The game started. Touchdown followed touchdown. Old grads were screaming; some with hysteria and others because they had had pre-war. The game was drawing to a close. The score was 14 to 7. Where was Percival Fairfax? Then, thundering into the stadium on a white mule rode Percival. “Hurrah for Fairfax,” shouted the multitude to a man. Harry Hairlip and Jack Dalton cringed. Walking right up to them, Fairfax shouted: “You beasts.” The pair fainted. Then into the game went Percival! A minute left to play! Old Alma Mater a touchdown behind! Quickly he got the ball and started running! On and on he ran! Strong men wept, women fainted, the two student bodies were on their toes shouting! But he had reckoned not with Harry Hairlip, nor desperate Jack Dalton. Rising up in his seat with a terrible oath, Harry Hairlip pulled his revolver and fired! On and on sped the bullet after the fleeing runner, but at last it caught up and Percival crumpled to the turf, three feet from the goal line. Five years later—a crowded court. Women congratulating Harry Hair¬ lip. “I’m so glad they acquitted you, you poor victim of Dementia Peroxide, and besides he didn’t have a student body card anyway.” One Hundred Thirty-seven i THE PIONEER PANTHERS WIN STATE JUNIOR COLLEGE GRID TITLE 1 Sq ™ 3 H °P es , San Bernardino’s Light .

His two major productions again made Junior College history. He has set a high standard both in his choice of plays and in the acting of the students trained by him. “Hippolytus,” a very difficult and subtle classic drama, was made into a wonderful series of intensely dramatic scenes and gorgeous stage pictures, representing six months of strenuous preparation. “Ghosts” was given with good tempo, excellent characterization, and was generally finished, being tremendously effective. In “The Taming of the Shrew,” Mr. Seymour’s ability to produce hilarious comedy was shown; the best attended assembly in history was kept roaring with delight. Coach Shipkey has made a fine beginning with track and baseball. The Physical Education Department has distinguished itself in football and aesthetic dancing numbers. Debating has been given a big boost by its coaches. The Music Department topped off an active year with its delightful production of “Lelawala.” NEWS NUGGETS: On May 7th in Music Week, S. J. C. was well represented in the City All School Program. The orchestra opened the long program with “Marche Slav,” playing its best yet. Mr. Frazee’s 11-piece ensemble with 11 and then with 22 players gave 4 numbers. The Women’s P. E. Department presented the drill march Crossing the Isthmus, the Co-ed Clog, and the Parade of the Wooden Soldiers. The Men’s Glee Club sang twice. On May 12th the Band played for the Rotary Convention. On May 9th the combined glee clubs, trio, and quintet gave a one-hour program to the Sutter Junior High School. Mr. Linder has been appointed vice-principal of the Sacramento High School. During the middle of May, thundering accusations were hurled and bloody slander hung over the classroom 237 where “Trial by Jury” pondered over the near-corpse of Swanston Krebs found near the gym chair pits. (See p. 42.) At the assembly on May 4th, the inauguration of an Honor System was debated by Shaw and Cruickshanks. General discussion has followed; also a questionnaire! All the graduating seniors in the neighboring high schools were invited here for the afternoon of May 11. Vess Miner and Gene Huston were in charge. Program: 12:30—Inter-club track meet. 1:30—“Crossing the Isthmus” on the front lawn. 12:30-2 :30—Inspection of buildings. 2:30— Entertainment in the Gym: concert by band, dancing of ballet numbers, special vocal numbers, and a reproduction of “The Taming of the Shrew.” From then on until 5:00 dancing in the Gym. This, the second “At Home Day,” was well attended.
