SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY REPORT. This quarter has furnished some real treats in Student Body pro- grams Which were not even hoped for. At the meeting on Jan. let, a good musical program was rendered. Among the numbers were some cleverly illustrated songs. At the last meeting, held Feb. 15th, a very enjoyable program was presented. There was a vocal duet by the Misses Fuidge; a reading by Miss Pruitt and a farce entitled t tAunt Susan Jones' ' Cast of characters: Aunt Susan Jones ....................................

The students are fortunate in having in their midst a clever elocu- tionist, Miss Gertrude Rieke, who has entertained at several of the meet- ings with her delightful selections. The school has also been afforded the opportunity of enjoying the results of steady practice by the orchestra. SCHOOL ATHLETICS. Basket-ball and indoor base ball have both taken prominent places in the girls, sports during the last quarter, though captain ball still holds its own. Besides the regular weekly practice games, the basket-ball

Sad to say, the burden of education is nowadays being shifted from the parents to the teacher. And thus your connection with the affairs of every-day life is incresing: you cannot overestimate your responsibility when you take up the pathway in life which you have chosen. For your individual character is stamped on the life of every boy and girl under your jurisdiction. If you are honest and upright, so they Will be: and that is one thing that will save the Republic: it is the thing that your moth- ers and fathers held above all else; common Honesty-common, every- day, home-made Honesty. Without that the Republic Will not stand: With it , it Will be as enduring as the ages. HI hope to live to see the day when you young women will all be voters: no citizen will have more responsibility on election-day than you Will have: and the accumuation of your civil votes will determine the vice or virtue of the men you put in office. I feel more than a passing interest in this school, for I cast my vote for the first appropriation for it. Nor did my efforts cease there: I have continued to give to give it my support since. Another schoolialong with yours, for which I have great sympathy and interest, is the Poly- technic School at San Luis Obispo, which was created by my bill. This school is doing an important work, along with yours. Its purpose is the education of youths for the unprofessional walks of life, to take up the home-life of the state: or, as we often say, to ttgo back home. Those boys and girls that are being educated and sent out to work in the home- side of life, and you who work here, will constitute the best life of Cali- fornia. You, having taken the youth of the state from the hands of their fathers and mothers, will give them such training and character- building as Will induce faith in their fellow-men and insure the perpetuity of the feeling of responsibility in a self-governing people. We ought not to misunderstand the idea of true duty to our government. It lies in the feeling, in each one of us, that we have the responsibility on our shoulders, that we must go to the frontf as the saying is, and help bear the burden of the day. For it is doing these things that makes us strong.

WHITE AND GOLD 21 girls gave us two very interesting and highly enthusiastic games, one before Thanksgiving holidays, and one before the Christmas holidays. These games were attended by a large crowd of Normalites and all, including the players, seemed to get lots of sport out of them. The lineup of the two teams was as follows: WHITES YELLows I. Pierce, G, Rieke .............. Forwards ........ U.Yager, N. Pierce 0. Ault, L. Winter ................ Guards. . . . . .R. Pitman, L. West P. Black, S. Shaw ................ Centers. . . .C. Haines, M. Grandstaif Indoor baseball has become quite popular with the girls, and for a time great rivalry existed between the ttWhitest' and the HYellows. Three grand games were played between the two teams for championship of the school; the UYellowsH finally carried off the honors, winning two games out of the three. Indoor base ball with its modified rules seems to be a good game for the girls, though it has one drawback in the fact that it cannot be played out in the open. Now that the courts are in good shape again, tennis is being indulged in by the faithful few to a considerable extent. Let us hope that before long the term Ufaithful few will be changed to Hfaithful many, as no one knows the sport one can get out of tennis until it has been tried. SCHOOL NOTES. Immediately after the game played the day before the Thanksgiving holidays, the members of the basket-ball teams spent a jolly evening at the home of their coach, Miss Tanner. After a fine supper served to four- teen hungry girls, the evening was spent in playing games, singing songs and having a general good time. :1: an: :1: Miss Josephine Clark entertained the members of the Rhine Gold crew at the t tLoomist ' on November the 16th. :I: a: a: Miss Ruth Price was hostess at a very successful dinner party on the evening of January 19th.
