And though we win the world and fame, We'll ne'er forget thy precious name; Far down the years when we are old Welll love thy purple and thy gold. Though thy old walls fall to decay These friendships blest, will live for aye, 'Tis best to ever loving be Like Him who taught in Galilee. We walk in godly liberty- Thy truth doth make us truly free Though we may die and live anew Dear San Diego welll be true. -WILFRED KNUDSTON . 1-;va IL. .fwgvmavhnu .2 . tyigwsmyp 5. ng?u.nnwew u ;t. tan! ,9 Page Eleven .3 Art. $.12: 6:44.31 .

Oh! the delight of having found a kindred soul to which to cling I To have a dear companion into whose hands all his life should be delivered, the friend whose life was delivered into hisleel have a friend! Away from me, near me, in me always. I have my friend, and I am Of our two souls love has fashioned one. -ROMAIN ROLLAND, Jean-ChrlirlophEeThe Houme his. My friend loves me. Almost every man we meet requires some Civility, requires to be humored ehe has some fame, some talent, some whim of religion or philanthropy in his head that is not to be questioned, and so spoils all conversation with him. But a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity. My friend gives me entertainment without requiring me to stoop, or to lisp, or to mask myself. A friend, therefore, is a sort of paradox in nature. eRALPH WALDO EMERSON-Ealray on Iviz'enttrhz'p The College, that meeting place of many minds, that microcosm in which a thousand human facets group themselves into a single jewel, is a city of comrades. Page Eighteen ED VARD L. HARDY Page Ninr'lm'n A Message from Dean Caldwell Mrs. Coldwell sends this message to adventuring youth: Greater than stars or suns, bounding, 0 soul, thou journeyest forth, To know the universe it- self as a road, as many roads for traveling souls. Not I, nor any one else can travel that road for you, you must travel it for your- self. Each man to himself and each woman to herself, is the word of the past and the present, and the true word of immortality. No one can acquire for anotherenot one; no one can grow for another-not MRS ADA HUGHES COLDWELL one. The earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete. The earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken. From this hour I ordain myself loos'd of limits and imaginary lines. I inhale great draughts of space; the east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine. Joyous we launch out on trackless seas, carolling free, singing our song of God. For we are bound where mariner dared not to go, and we will risk the ship, ourselves, and all. 0 my brave soull O farther, farther, farther sail! WALT WHITMAN; Leauew of Gran. Page Twenty An Interpretation of the Objectives of the State College To develop clear thinking and the power of sustained attention that will enable the student to see what he looks at and listen to what he hears; To promote an intellec- tual curiosity and thirst for knowledge that will lead to discovery of facts and truth in new relations; To develop an open- mindedness that will give power, not only to distin- guish between black and white, but also to discern the different shades of grey in the complex situations of life; To furnish an environ- ment that will stimulate and encourage self-expres- ARTHUR G. PETERSON sion and the development of individuality and initiative; To develop habits of industry and perseverance and inculcate the truth that lThere is no failure, save in giving up, No real fall as long as one still tries, For seeming setbacks make the strong man wise. Therefs no defeat, in truth, save from within; Unless youtre beaten there, you,re bound to wmf T0 interpret the work of art and science and the problems of philosophy and religion in terms of life ; T0 sweeten the life by the promotion of enduring friendships; To develop the ability to see life in proportion, and to bring personal objectives into symphonic relation after the manner of William Henry Channing: 'To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with an open heart; to bear all gently, to do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the commeme this is to be my symphonyf Page Twenty-one FACULTY EDWARD L.

FreJhman B Reprewenlalive TARTING the year with a handicap due to the resignation of Barkham Garner as presi- dent of the associated students and meeting the increasing difficulties in the field of finances and the administration of the affairs of a student body with growing pains, has been the plight through which the administrative officers of the Aztec students have suc- cessfully fought. Finances which had been thought to be so well in hand at the conclusion of last year's administration were found to be inadequate to cope with the advanced expenses due to State's firstyear ofathletic competition asa member of the Southern California intercolle- giate conference. Football, ordinarily an aid to the student exchequer, admitted to a deficit for the first time in Aztec history, forcing stringent means in the planning of the budget committee and resulting in a slight increase in dues fgf the second semester of the academic year. In addition to monetary detriments, Aztec solons, under the leadeg'ship 0f Loris Hoyt, elected upon the resignation of Barkham Garner, have had to deal with increasing diHi- Culties in the administration of a rapidly growing student body. Feeling that the old system of student managers has not been efficient in the main, an attempt has been made to outline a new managerial policy. Simultaneously with the Aztecs' entry into the fold of the Southern conference via athletics, has been State's broader participancy as a fellow member of a distinguished academic Class. Representation of student body heads has been handled throughout the year by President Hoyt, Carl Esenoff, and Margaret Giles, in all cases an efficient repre- sentation of local interests being the result. Carrying out the work of last year,s officers in giving a constitution suitable to the conditions created by its rapid growth, has been the attitude of the present regime in carry- ing out its precepts and spirit. The awards system, whereby outstanding service to the college is recognized, has also secured an amplification of its powers. As a summary of the yearJS work of the student officers it may be said that while con- spicuous achievements are not noticeable there has been accomplished a mass of minor adjustments and a starting of those impulses necessary towards the coordinative operation of the greater student body of the future.

Dean of 1170mm AINTAINING throughout the year a social calendar which at all times worked toward promoting,r a spirit of sociability and cooperation among the women stu- dents at San Diego State college has been the record of the Associated Women students. Starting early last fall with a welcome tea for the new women students and moving through a cycle of banquets and teas to reach a climax in the only formal tea of the year, one in the late spring honoring President and Mrs. Hardy, the organization has endeavor- ed to promote its ends. Outstanding among banquets were the annual Echo banquet in November in which the women students were brought into contact with the workings of the Intercollegiate conference of associated women students, and the spring banquet which was in the nature ofa farewell affair for Mrs Ada Hughes Coldwell, Dean ofwomen. Scholarship, a primary aim of the organization, was materiallv assisted through awarding two scholarship s. Martha Farnum achieved distinction of the first degree and was awarded the A W Sp scholarship of fifty dollars; Imogene Loper received the twenty- five dollar scholarship giv en to the AP. W. S by a woman member of the faculty. T0 care for the 1ncreasing financial complexity coincident with the growth of the organization a new budget system was adopted. Page Tu'elztyvciglzt Guy Fox Dillon Busch Roy Hawekoite Terence Geddis ASSOCIATED MEN STUDENTS HE men students organised in September for the ostensible purpose of protecting themselves against their more ideadlyi fellow-students. This precaution seemed to be unnecessary for the men managed to survive the year without once calling a meeting of their organization except when they voted to supply the auto banners for the bond election campaign. This was a noble act and dissipated the funds of the A. M. S. so that there was little for the officers to worry about after the bill was paid. There is this to be said, however, that it is a very comfortable feeling to know that there is an organization to back up any project that the men students might desire to put through, even though there is never any necessity of this organizationis functioning. Page Tweniy-nine CRAWL I see white snow creeping Creeping down from tall peaks aglittering in the sun. The snow creeps down while the sun sinks south And all men and all beasts find shelter. I see broad blue bands that wet the earth They creep and glide, but mostly they creep Creep in a wet way over thirsty earth and into mysterious seas To lose their freshness and their quality And be taken up into the clouds To fall and creep again. I see Manethe noblest animal walking erect upon two legs Raising his eyes fearlessly to the illimitable beyond Where nothing creeps. But, too, I see him creep upon his belly Grovel in the dirt for coal, and iron, and tin, and copper, and silver, and gold, and anything that glitters Or is hard or soft or light or heavy Anything that helps his walking straight And looking up and living cleanly in a turbulent quietude. He creeps and crawls to stand erect. He flies higher than any bird. He swims deeper than any fish that ever saw the light and lived. He travels faster than any beasteand still-he digs and crawls Deeper than the lowest worm. h -DANA LA .FORD THOMPSON. 29.

The 1927 class is the first home grown product, since just four years ago the State of California conferred the degree granting power upon the college. The first degree Class in 1924 numbered eleven seniors, only four of whom had over one year at this institution. Each year since, class enrollment has doubled. This June a majority of the forty-five graduates have had three or more years on this campus. In consequence, never before has a senior class here been so Closely identified with student- body activities. The Grand Council of the Cap and Gown, including members both in alumm'um and in collegz'o, had a successful year. A luncheon was held during teacher's institute and a dinner at the Cabrillo Cafe. In an assembly January 12 the members appeared before the students for the first time this year in cap and gown. Henry Austin Adams, play- wright, reviewed Bertrand Russele latest book, Education and the Good Life. Other activities included an informal hallowe,en dance and a theater party. A second council assembly was given May 18. The Dedication day program April 29, featured a speech by the president of the alumni, John W Snvder, a musical program and a reception on the campus. Officers of Delta chapter included Spencer Rogers, councilor; Margaret Giles, vice- Councilor; Isabelle Farnum, scribe; Florence Denton, Mrs. Alice Pomeroy Lyall and Hugh Gillis, representatives at large to the executive council; and Katherine Kalka, press councilor. Committees for the second semester included Mrs. Helen Bankerd, and Doris Clayton, assembly program; Margaret Giles, invitations and commencement announce- ments; Mrs. Elizabeth Cook, Miss Edna B. McRae, and Miss Irma Delaney, cap and gown custodians; and Miss Florence Denton, social Chairman.

This is the first time there has been any definite organization and their inactivity may be excused on that score. The financial output of the Juniors has been the paying off of a long standing debt incurred when the same group were Freshmen at State, and a partial payment for the automobile signs which were used during the bond election campaign. All the classes contributed something to the cost of the signs, and the Juniors did their share. Not having enough money in their treasury to give a dance or any other form of social affair, the Class turned the remainder of their money into the Scholarship and Loan Fund. Page I'llrly-xm'pu Hazel XX'oods Guy Fox Ivn Copple SOPHOMORE CLASS OR the sake of originality we will not Claim that the Sophomore class stood on a pinnacle of superiority miles above any previous Class or that its altitude will not he reached by any future classes. It you will excuse a little personal opinion, however, the men and women 0f 29 feel themselves to be just as good or a little better than average. What, asks a tlippant trosh, is their basis for this totally unwarranted conclusion? Well? verdant one, it is this way: When student body funds were so low that the football team of 1926 could not be given awards, the Sophomore class voted unanimously to provide them with sweaters out of the class funds. And then, they threw a party for it was an occasion. Oh, yes, I was about to forget the unique and novel assembly program presented by the Class in January and proclaimed by all a knockout. the school out at La Jolla which was more than a dance Inspired by the vivacious leadership of President Guy Fox, made properly humble by the beauty and gentle ways of the viee-president, Hazel Woods, and given an example of industry to follow by Secretary Iva Copple, the class of '29 made a record to be proud of.

Franklyn Clayton Murdock Linwood Brown Mitchel Snadi FRESHMAN CLASS RIGINALITY has marked the path taken by the class of '30 during the past year. The All Fresh banquet at the San Diego hotel gave the class the initial push which was to send these new Aztecs on their journey of college life. Class organization has been excellent. That once terrible monster, commonly known as Hazing, died a horrible death, much to the chagrin ofa certain small band of upper- classmen who nursed the thing as one would a much beloved and highly prized pet. Service to Alma Mater has been one of the keynotes of all trosh activities, and it is sincerely hoped that a precedent will have been established which will grow and be im- proved upon by the other freshmen. The Aztec Bible, published by the class of 30, which contains school songs, yells and schedules for football, basketball, and baseball, along with State,s code of bleacher etiquette, was one type of service rendered. A huge bonfire before the Thanksgiving game was another activity. Sweaters for the fi'osh football squad purchased out of class funds was an original and highly popular idea which furnished just one more proof that the largest freshman class that State has ever boasted bear the numerals: '30. 1510c l'kzrlv-uiun Pale ghost-flngers Climbing up the sky, Searching the Clouds, Grasping at space to seize eternity.

Correspondence was carried on during the year with other institutions, governmental agencies, and local organizations. Though increase in size is not the aim of The Aztec, several six page editions were issued with especial attention to literary material. An efhcient business stag and an appreciative budget committee significantly aided in the paper's progress. The editorial staff consisted of: Alexander Crosby ,28, editor; David H. Barnes 27, associate editor; Miss Geraldine Floersch ,28, news editor; Miss Helen Strand 28, news editor; Donald Brand t29, sport editor; Miss Isabelle Farnum t27, society editor; Miss Hazel Woods 29, assistant society editor; Miss Cynthia Lou Stanton J29, literary editor; Carl Maxwell Johnson '29, Donovan Bess 30, and Thornton Boulter '30, departmental editors; and Miss Florence L. Smith, faculty advisor. Members of the reportorial staff of The Aztec during the year were Franklin Archer, Miss Thelma Bennington, Thornton Boulter, James Myers, Miss Elizabeth Ann Naquin; Miss Lena Peterson, Harry Roche, and Miss Alice Strawn. Miss Elise Romero did all the typing for the paper. Page Fz'fIy-zmv Frederick DeSilm Mrs. Bankerd Mrs. Bell hYeidler Musst'lmnn Mrs. Aichele Mary Bouton Mrs. Reeia Moon Charles Tidd S. A. B. E. HOUGH only a young organization, the S. A. B. E. club entertained extensively Tthis year, opening up a wide field of social activity to the older students. The largest affair of the year was an evening bridge given March 25 at the San Diego hotel compli- menting the faculty and alumni. Invitations were issued to 200 guests. The reception committee included, Mrs. Gertrude Sumption Bell, faculty member, Mrs. Gertrude Aichele, president, Frederick De Silva, past president and Charles Tidd, treasurer. Smallersocial activities included, two initiation parties,several card parties and teas, and a beach outing; at the cottage of Mrs. Lena P.

A. song expresses the attitude of the Womenis athletic association. For a year their earnest goal has been to play the game in quest of all that's the very best in sports. In many ways they have. succeeded. Several additions have been made to the sports program with success. Speedball, a new kicking and passing game, was played for the first time. Although it was not afforded a fair trial because of the rain which limited the number of practices, it developed rapidly under the coaching of Miss Alice Raw. Through efforts of Gladys Smith, swimming manager, water polo was offered in the salt water plunge. New and less severe training rules nearly doubled the number of participants and allowed credit to he gained as Often as it was earned. A unique get-together rally was pioneered the last quarter. All after- noon the girls rotated at the blow of the whistle from one sport to the next. By constantly mixing teams, the fun of playing, not team victory was stressed. A hot supper in the music studio and an evening of stunts and dancing followed. Much of the credit for the establishment of these new sports as well as the successful guidance of older sports is due to the board members. Page 15ifly-llzrvc . Esther Buckley Iiucxle Bovgerding Mary Atkinson GEOGRAPHY CLUB HE Geography club was organized three years ago for the purpose of creating an interest in the subject through a social group, and the Club at this time includes a large number of enthusiastic students. Each year the club has found successful its plan of holding three functions which are by way of establishing traditions for members. First, the jaCk-wax party, held this year at the New Palace hotel under the direction of Miss Vinnie B. Clark the faculty member. Second, the progressive dinner, given this year in honor of the new members and con- sisting of five courses each served in a different country. And third, the spring trip, this year to Yuma, Arizona, helped to provide the members with accurate and novel geographi- cal knowledge.

The present member- ship numbers over twenty artists. The club has divided into several craft groups working at different times in batik, block-printing, leather-work, and posters. Exhibitions are given each year of the work done in these groups, and the poster group also serves State by advertising all of its functions, social, athletic, and dramatic. Weekly meetings for work were held throughout the year and once a month the members met for a supper meeting. Page Fiftyfz'e --.--...

A. is striving toward a better campus life. The local purpose, to make the all-round girl more fitted for life in service and fellowship, was the ideal of this year's activities which consisted of bi-monthly supper meetings, occasional social functions, and volunteer service for worthy causes. In September a house party was given at Shirley cottage, later a tcant party was given to raise funds for the Thanksgiving service work. An informal reception for all new members was held in the second semester. In the spring a number of delegates attended the conference of the combined men and women Student clubs held at the Pali- sades.

Heretofore only one year's course in the art was offered, but upon pre- senting a petition to the administration, the students were ottered the advanced Class. Creative drama was the aim to which the class set itself at the very beginning of the year. Plays were written by the students themselves, casted in the class, staged and pre- sented, some of them for class work only, some of them for assembly and a few were pre- sented in various community centers of the city. This is a line of work never ventured into before by State, and proved so successful from the individual student's point of view, as well as from that of the college as a whole, that it will probably become a reg- ular part of the course of study. Without a doubt, the most artistic presentation came from this Class in the form of the production of Bernard Shaw's famous satire Arms and the Man given at the Yorick in February. Cooperation of the finest kind in the group made it possible for this play to earn for itself from critics of the city as well as members of the student body and faculty the distinction of being called the most artistic piece of work ever done by State. Members of the cast were: Betty Anne Naquin, Sue Wolfer, Pauline Connable, Paul Pfaff, Hugh Gillis, Spencer Rogers, Lorimer Foley, Bryant Kearney. The play was directed by Sybil Eliza Jones, art directed by Elsie Moriarty, stage-managed by Terry Havens, with electrical work done by Mr. Seelig. For the major part of the second semester work was done by the students on the gradu- ation play Twelfth Night sponsored by the Skull and Dagger fraternity.

While this is the first year in which two drama classes have obtained, both groups have been large, the freshmen numbering forty. T0 afford a fundamental knowledge of the principles of dramatic production, the study of modern drama was preluded by a brief survey of historical development of the art. Preparation of students in the writing, directing, and acting of plays, as well as in securing a grasp of art direction and the methods of staging, have been the aims of the course. Following instruction in the history and theory of dramatic production, actual pre- sentations were made. Five one-act plays were given before the Associated Students ; and six were presented before other organizations of the city. In original work the freshmen produced gesture sketches, football skits, and two plays after the manner of the Comedia del Arte. Formation of two casts was ettected in order to produce original plays written by senior drama members. Dreams , by Miss Cynthia Lou Stantont29, Room Rent , by Spencer Rogers ,27, and Shadows, by Hugh Gillis ,27, were those actually presented. Three additional casts played before various luncheon Clubs and other organizations, pre- senting skits written by Miss Jones, during the Community Chest campaign. My Lady's Dress, a diHicult and fantastic comedy by Edward Knoblauch, the author of ttKismet, in culmination of the year's work, was selected as the spring Class play. As evidence of talent developed within the group, eight members were awarded parts in Shakespearets Twelfth Night, the June finale of drama at State college for 1926-27.

With the growth of the student body, there has been a concurrent development in the organization: the inception of a band, to supplement the orchestra, and an increase in vocal fiber of Treble Clef and the Men,s Glee. Resultant from the inadequate seating capacity of the college auditorium, the Christ- mas concerts for the past two years have been presented in the Roosevelt junior high school auditorium. The program, augmented this year by a Skull and Dagger produc- tion, The Candle Song constituted the college Christmas gift to the community. To radiate the holiday spirit, also, Alpha Mu Sigma followed a custom that has grown to be a tradition of the organization. Long before daylight on Christmas morning, thirty- nine members gathered from all parts of the city to carol at faculty homes. At daybreak the group was served with breakfast in the home of Miss Edith Hammack, who was assisted by Miss Deborah Smith and Mrs. Ada Hughes Coldwell. With the advent of spring and the necessity for advertising the opera, the annual tour was made and program engagements met at several high schools. Other programs by the combined Clubs were presented at the college assembly, and at the First Presbyterian Church.

This achieve- ment received greater acclaim from resident artists than any other attempt has brought forth, scoring higher than DeKovenJS Robin Hood which was produced last year. t'The Serenade , a fantasy taken from Spain, allowed greater scope to the ingenuity of the participants than most light operas and for this reason was greatly enjoyed by the cast, choruses, and audience. Much credit is to be granted Miss L. Deborah Smith for her indomitable spirit and tireless faithfulness in perfecting every detail of the production. Another feature of the presentation was the excellent settings made by the local art de- partment. These followed a more modern motif than has been attempted before. The result was an eHect which was very stimulating. Page SiJ'ty-three ' e 1 V i ti , M , 3: 'Mma, . V x z , ' y 3w? , t, F. Ile K. XValker Herbelit Flint Hugh Gillis Robert Barbour CONTEST XVINNERS Imogene Lopor Lowvll Teller Roy IIawekotte FORENSICS IIROUGH the efforts of Mr. Walker debate was taken out of the field of conventional Tacademic collegiate forensics and the students were inspired to speaking on subjects of general interest before audiences composed of the general public. This form of debate is different from the usual by reason of the fact that the subjects chosen are of immediate and general interest and also that there is no decision rendered after the speakers are through. This leaves the questions open and often the meeting is thrown into the form of an open forum and general discussion follows. The fact that the Open Forum was willing to co-operate with State and give the students opportunities to speak before its members shows that the public of San Diego is interested in this new departure in debate. In addition to the regular debate activities the usual annual oratorical contest was held this year. The winners were, first, Imogene Loper, second, Lowell Teller, third Roy Hawekuttc. ltuyv .X'iIIy-fnur Horace Church R. C. llogg, Inst.

Tottering feebly on its one year old legs, it nearly sufTered a complete relapse at the beginning of the first semester and would have died a natural death but for the consistent pep-instilling efforts of Bob Baker, president. Last yeaxJS disgrace of im- porting outside talent for special occasions was spared State by the timely graduation of many of the finest players from the local high schools. Of the twenty members of the or- chestra, fifteen have previously had extensive experience. Although playing for Arms and the Man , My Lady's Dress , and commencement excercises, effort was concen- trated on the spring opera, Victor Herbert's The Serenade ., In it was found the most difficult orchestration of the year. What success there has been was mainly accumulated through Mr. Robert C. Hogg's careful guidance.

The review follows: Balkan Skelclmr by Les- ter G. Hox'nhy. Little, Brown and company: Boston. Travel hooks lure us in the spring when everyone would he a wanderer. For with the spring comes a brave adventurous mood like that children feel when reading fairy tales and making themselves princesses and kings. Balkan Sketches is just such a perfect book, with added grace of imagination which makes more real the quaint old town and rambling little st1'eets.While sailing on the Adriatic, the author looks Llreamily over the sea: Centu1'ies ago lllyrian pirates had set sail from here. I knew that forgotten treasure of ancient Argonauts must still he moulLler- ing there in caves. And then there 1s the magic of queer names ' Rising: r from the villa ge twisting up a mountain called Ledenice, a road made its way into the wild hilly country 0t Ki'ivoie. There were two tiny islets at the entrance to this mysterious bav 0f Risano, side 11v side like sisters keeping some saintlv Vigil. Gazing across this silent lagoon toward three ISO- lated 1'et1'eats,Daria remarked that thev were like Old jewels set again awainst l1lue silk The sketches give the book an atmosphere 111 which almost anv marvelous thing might happen. A Street in Old Mostar is green moonlight on shaLlowv houses and a slender tower, with a red flame glowing behind a latticed window. Balkan Shepherdess , has heavy wrists like a man's, and a face unexpectedly intelligent. Street at the iWoney Changers seems strange, with its clock tower, little jutting shops, grave he-fezzed men and oddly lettered signs. Homby gives us this naive farewell: HThere are times when to take one's leave is the kindest of acts. . . Then, too, I must be in Venice on the 27th for dinner with Daria?

This organization whose official membership consists of two delegates elected from each of the nine sororities, has for its purposes the furthering of cooperation among the sororities, and the regulation of the rushing season. During this year, the council has done what is perhaps its most valuable work since its organization in 1924, when the need was seen for a body of this type to control inter- sorority affairs. With the introduction of four weeks deferred rushing season, a construc- tive and progressive step was taken. The new system proved very successful and satis- factory, from the standpoint of both sororities and individuals. Regulations provided that the formal rushing season should not begin until the fifth week of the semester, al- lowing the first four weeks for campus rushing. This gave the new woman students an opportunity to get fairly well established in school before being snatched into a dis- tracting social whirl, and it also gave the sororities a chance to become really acquainted with the new students before the beginning of rushing. The plan of deferred rushing will undoubtedly be continued again next year. The new custom was introduced this year, and it will probably be carried out again in the future. The Inter-Sorority council entertained at a delightful tea honoring the new pledges to the sororities a short time after the Close of the rushing season. The way that the sororities have worked together on attairs of this kind show that there is really a fine spirit of cooperation in the council. Organization members are: Fra di Noi, Gamma Phi Zeta, Komo, Phi Kappa Gamma, Phi Sigma Nu, Shen Yo, Sigma Pi Theta, Sphinx, Tau Zeta Rho. Officers for the year have been: Artha Tyler, president; Ruth Varney, vice-president; Dorothy Flickinger, secretary; and Lois Baker, treasurer. Page Seventy-two Donald Brand Frank Boydstun Robert Barbour Francis VVhelan INTERaFRATERNITY COUNCIL 0 CONSOLIDATE fraternal opinion and action at State and to promote an athletic program, the Inter-Fraternity council was organized by three social fraternities in December, 1926. Since that date four organizations have been admitted, the complete roster now including Epsilon Eta, Eta Omega Delta, Kappa Phi Sigma, Omega Xi, Phi Lambda Xi, Sigma Lambda, and Tau Delta Chi. Subsequent to organization, member fraternities severed connections with the lnte1- Frate1nity- Sorority council, which consequently became defunct at the end of the yeal. Ag reement on a constitution, bylaws, and officers, and the accomplishment of an athletic schedule mark the progress of the nascent council As a culmination to sports engagements which were played off in the round robin style, a championship banner was presented to the high point fraternity. Basketball, won by Tau Delta Chi, track, won by Kappa Phi Sigma, tennis, and volleyball con- stituted the program. Comprehensive plans for next yearls council have been formulated by the present officers: Donald Brand, president; Frank Boydstun, vice-president; Robert Barbour, secretary ; and Francis Whelan, treasurer. Future competition will concern not only a more ambitious athletic schedule, and an annual ball to be given conjointly with the women's council, but will embrace also scholastic enterprise. Commenting on this phase, Mr. Brand, president of the council, said in The zleec, May 4: Though inter-fraternity competition this year has been limited to athletics, it will be expanded next year to include scholarship.

A new constitution was adopted in the fall semester of this year, the most radical change in it being tendency to require a higher scholarship average from members. As is customary with the council, a formal ball was given in January. The setting this year was the Hotel del Coronado. The attair proved to be one of the most brilliant 0f the school year. The committee in Charge included Richmond Barbour, Elsie Moriarty, Mildred Williams, Gertrude Fleet, Mildred Begley, and Sue Wolfer. For its contribution in service to the college the council helped finance the payment of an orchestra for the noon dances. Member organizations include: Epsilon Eta, Eta Omega Delta, Kappa Phi Sigma, Phi Lambda Xi, Tau Delta Chi, and Omega Xi fraternities; Fra Di Noi, Gamma Phi Zeta, Komo, Phi Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa Gamma, Shen Yo, Sigma Pi Theta, Sphinx, and Tau Zeta Rho sororities.

Brand SATISFACTORY year, on the whole, which fulfilled the manifold purposes of an athletic program is the consensus of opinion regarding State,s first year of com- petition in the Southern California inter-collegiate conference. Recognizing the probable eltects of strict rulings concerning eligibility and the loss of freshman talent, Coach Peter- son expected a rather lean year in high conference standings for the various sports. This expection was realized quite fully, but State's reputation did not suffer in the process. Consequently a firm foundation was laid for success in future years in the various branches of athletic endeavor. Coincident with States entry into the larger college field in the Southern California conference was the reorganization of her coaching staff by the addition of four new coaches. In previous years Coach iCheerful Charlie, was chief cook and bottle washer of the State athletic department, but this year he was able to devote himself to tvarsity foot- ball and track besides his duties as head coach and head of the department of physical education. A. Douglas took charge of football linesmen. Tom McMullen coached the 'Varsity basket-ball squad. Lee Waymire labored with the ivarsity baseball aspirants. Hal Brucker coached freshman football, basket-ball, and baseball. The football season was not an unqualified failure for Redlands deprived State of the cellar position. The only high lights of the season were the defeat of Santa Barbara for the fourth consecutive year, and of Redlands for the third time. The dark spots of the year were the overwhelming defeat by U. C. L. A., and decisive lickings at the hands of Fresno State and Whittier. The tie with La Verne and indecisive defeat of Redlands did not add lustre t0 State's grid-iron reputation by any means. An optimist would say that the Aztecs could have done much worse and did accomplish much in developing nearly a complete new back-tield which functioned very well as it gained experience. Captain Dave Barnes held his own with the linesmen of the conference, while captain-elect Paul Mott developed into a very promising triple-threat full-back. A passable frosh team was developed which went like a champion until it lost captain Kenny Johnson, star quarter-back, and 'Red' Cameron, full-back and frosh punter de luxe, through injuries. Many excellent linesmen were produced during the season and these additions to State's ivarsity team next year should enable San Diego to put a team into the conference tilt which will finish the season in the upper division. In basket-ball, State found some solace for her grid-iron defeats as victories were registered over Pomona, La Verne, Redlands, and Caltech. Double losses to Whittier, U. C. L. A., and Oxy reduced State's standing to fourth place in the conference. Despite such a standing the quintet ranked among the four best collegiate teams in the southland. Captain Morris Gross, guard, and Paul Mott, forward, were among the best in the con- ference. Mott was second high point man of the conference with 91 points, 6 less than the leader. In addition to conference laurels, State added the winning of the annual county A. A. U. championship to her achievements by defeating the Y. M. C. A. and N. T. S. squads. The first year 'casaballerosi played but one conference game and were inactive most of the season. Tenwolde, center, and captain Hildreth were the only players of much worth. Since all six ,varsity men are returning the freshmen will have a hard job making the team next year. Prospects are bright for a quintet which will give Whittier and U. C. L. A. a close run for championship honors next season. Page One Hundred Fifteen State's track team exceeded all expectations to win both its conference dual meets and place a good fifth in the all-conference contest. In addition, the Aztecs overwhelmed Fresno, lost a close encounter to Arizona on the Wildcats' home field, won the fourth annual Santa Barbara invitational meet with only eight men entered, and made an excel- lent showing at the Fresno relays. Many records were broken and individual perform- ances were excellent, although the team was very poorly balanced. A championship mile relay team was developed, composed of G. Fox. Hoyt, Boydstun, and Worden, which lost only in the A. A. U. relays to U. S. C. and L. A. A. C. and at Fresno t0 Caltech, after hav- ing defeated this team previously in the conference meet. Oliver Worden went undefeated through the season in the quarter mile event and tied for second high point man. Captain Boydstun; Paul Mott, high point man; and Werner Peterson turned in the other best performances of the year. The freshman track squad made an excellent record, due mostly to the efforts of Lin- wood Brown, trackman, and John Brose, weightman, who made over half the team's points. Though nosed out by Oxy in a dual meet, the fresh placed third in the conference meet where captain Brown and Brose broke four records. These freshmen also set up four of the new Aztec records. Reinforced by this strong frosh contingent, next yearis tvarsity squad should give the teams of the conference a hard race for the big meet Cham- pionship. States Jvarsity tennis squad suffered from lack of interest and exceptional ability. Whatever it lacked was made up for by the three leading freshmen, Muehleisen, Muench, and Blade. The frosh team went undefeated during the year to win the frosh champion- ship. Victories were had over such teams as the U. S. C. Dental and Arizona ivarsities. Much can be expected of the team next season. Baseball was nearly a minus quantity, due to a marked absence of material. Little can be said for next years prospects which, however, will be better than were those of the past year. Cross-country was the best received of the small minor sports. The State lvarsity finished fifth in the conference run at Redlands, while the frosh did even better to place third. The frosh standing was greatly due to Brown's victory. The other sports, swimming, boxing, wrestling, and golf were hardly active except sporadically through the eHorts of a few individuals. Much interest was added to all the branches of sport through the addition of inter-fraternity competition to the annual athletic program. Thanks are due to the managers of the different sports for good work done in usually thankless positions. The managers were: Ward Perkins and Bill Stillwell, lvarsity and frosh football; Syd Roppe and Lin Brown, assistant football managers; Kenny Johnson, 'varsity basket-ball; Ed Naquin, frosh basket-ball; Frank Boydstun, cross-Country mana- ger; Sydney Roppe, lvarsity and fresh track; Hugh Gillis and Dick Hawley, tvarsity base- ball; Archie Anderson, frosh baseball; Ted Treutlein, 'Varsity and frosh tennis.

The records show that the Aztecs played eight games, won three, lost four, and tied one. Five conference teams were scheduled and defeat was suffered at the hands of Pomona, U. C. L. A., and Whittier. However, these teams ended first, second, and third when the final conference standing was compiled The Stateis rated a 200 percentage to take the next to last place away from La Verne whom they tied. To exp lain these results the chronicler finds that his usual stock of alibisy1s not re- quired. Sptate, like all curricula limited colleges, has always relied on her freshmen for nearly half the team. Under conference rulings only upper classmen are eligible to play. Consequently State produced a team in her first year in conference competition which was not on a par with former Aztec squads. The total number of men out for the 'Varsity never exceeded twenty-four, and most of the time it was impossible to have two complete teams on the field for signal practice or scrimmage. The f1rst day of practice found only e1g ht of last year s squad back to don the mole- skins. The backfleld was exceptionally wgeak and could only muster two lettermen to replace the galaxy of stars which had so ably advanced the purple and gold 1n 1925. With only a trifle over two weeks before the first g,ame Coach Peterson proceeded to the task of building up a new backfield around Ed Ruffa, fullback; and Morris Gross, quarter on the team of 1924 Garner was switched from end to half, and Hoyt, 1925 second team back, filled the other half position. As the season progressed injuries in the backfield, coup led with the desire to obtain the smoothest working quartet possible, caused Paul Mott to be moved into the backfield, and gave Guy Fox, another 1925 second team man, a place on the starting line-up. Indicative of the experimenting that went on all season is the fact that of the seven backs who made letters, the two who played the most quarters were former winginen, while three men played in less than half of the uarters q Line coach Doug las did not encounter such a difficult problem at first, but the loss of his two best ends, gunited with difficulties presented by 1njuries in the forward wall soon produced several gaps to be filled from nearly all-green material. In fact, so hampered were the coaches by injuries and lack of experienced heavy men that in no game was States best eleven on the field. The Pomona game saw a green, light-weight, Aztec team defeated 20-6, by an ex- perienced Sagehen eleven who were decidedly superior in backfield ability and line power. State started well but soon lost Gross who wer1t out with a twisted ankle, taking with him a large measure of State 5 confidence to win. Pomona soon scored, but within five minutes Hoy t made a long run followed by several smashes by Ruffa, which placed the ball across. yTwo Aztec fubmbles inside of the State 50-yard line gave the Sagehens their other touchdowns.

CAPTAIN ELECT PAUL MOTT, end a8?! back, third year San Diego. He was an end by choice and back by necessity. Paul was a triple threat man par excellenceestarted, able to kick and pass, and ended by gaining more by plunges and end runs than any other back. Since P.

Coach Hal Brucker is to be complimented 0n the team which was finally formed out of an array of green, in- experienced men who had never played together before. Had it not been for the loss of good men at inopportune moments, and the lack of hard games previous to the two last disastrous encounters, it is quite likely the Aztec frosh would have flnished much higher in the conference. Men earning their numerals by playing four or more quarters in conference games were: Captain Kenneth Johnson, Seattle, quarter and high point man; Percy Allen, S. D., end; Werner Petersen, S. D., guard; Lawrence Peterson, S. D., end and full.; Donovan Ault, Mt. Emp., tackle; Clayton Murdock, Escondido, tackle and guard; Almus McLain, S. D., back; Harold Hansen, S.

Baker, Gregory, Holbrook, Brecht, Batton, Giles, and Crittenden also played in some of the games. As most of these men are returning next year they should aid materially in form- ing States greatest eleven. Page One Hundred Twenty-eight VARSITY BASKETBALL Dec. 22-Stale . . . . .

The ending of a season in the fourth place of an eight member conference is ordinarily not an accomplishment which merits praise. However, numerous adverse cir- cumstances this year rendered such an attainment rather remarkable. A system of play completely new to the Statemen was introduced by Coach Tom McMullen. This Hager percentage system from O. A. C. placed a temporary handicap upon the players and was not worked in a polished manner until nearly the seasonis end. In addition, State played an eleven game schedule, the heaviest in the conference. Four double-headers had been scheduled and, as luck would have it, three were with the teams who finished highest in the conference. Incidentally, defeats from these three schools were the only ones received during the year. Since most of the varsity lettermen were followers of the gridiron, McMullen was unable to begin his team practice until late. Regular practice saw four of last year,s lettermen back but without a single guard returning. Fortunately, Morris Gross, letter- man of three seasons previous, was back in school and in suit. He was elected to captain the team and do the heavy guarding for the season of 1927. Besides Mott, Busch and Smith, forwards, and Carr, center, an excellent all-around player was found in Frank Kopp, an ineligible from last year. T hese six men were the mainstays 0f the Aztec team throughout the season and were the only ones to play more than a couple of quarters. After three weeks practice the Statemen journeyed to Whittier for a vacation-time double-header with the strong Poet squad. Equal individual ability and superior team- work gave the decision both nights, 16-26, 20-52, to Whittier. These first games of the conference season reduced Stateis standing to zero and her reputation to a trifle less. The first Saturday after New Years Pomona came to San Diego, primed for a big victory. The victory was higefor San Diego, which won handily, 26-14. Up went Stateis stock, far above par. Alas for San Diegols championship hopes, she caught a vertiahle Tartar next in the form of the Bruin five at Los Angeles. State met double reversals, 9-29, 19-28, at the hands of a team superior in individual ability as well as teamwork. A trip to Occidental produced the two closest and among the most exciting games in the conference. The first was lost to Oxy in an extra period, 22-24, after the score had been tied at 20 all. The Tigers managed to win the second game 25-24, after a nip and tuck battle in which the Aztecs cut a 5 point lead down to 1 point during the second half. On the following week-end the La Verne Leopards came to the Aztec court for a double- header. The first game was a listless affair which State won, 52-25. In the next evenings Page One Hundred Twenty-nine tilt, San Diego matched La Verne,s fight with a marvelously poor brand of basketball and was lucky to be on the large end of the score, 50-27, when the final whistle blew. After a week of rest, the Aztecs played host to the Caltech squad for a single game, February 12. This was one of States best conference games and saw the Purple and Gold players easily repel the Beavers by a 37 to 20 score. The next Saturday Redlands was played on the home floor in the seasonls last con- ference game. Due to excellent showings against Whittier and U. C. L. A., the Bulldogs were doped to trim State but the Aztecs kicked the bucket all over the yard and won decisively, 24-13. These last four victories in a row gave San Diego fourth place in the conference. How- ever, State's season did not end there. The Purple and Gold quintet entered the third annual county A. A. U. basketball tournament and easily won the title for the second time by defeating the Grossmont Alumnae, 25-18; the Y. M. C. A. 51-13; and the Naval Training Station. 42-25. The season's end saw a very satisfactory initial conference year completed. The percentage system had been learned well and indications pointed to a more successful season next year with all the lettermen planning to return. In the conference, State ranked fourth in offensive power and third in defensive ability. After playing a very hard schedule San Diego lacked only one basket of breaking even in scoring, 259-261. Only Whittier and U. C. L. A., the title holders, had a better record. Paul Mott, premier forward was second high point man in the conference, his 91 markers trailing Weaver of Whittier by 5 points. Busch and Carr also placed in the conferencets first ten scorers. Due to universal newspaper acclamation of players belonging to the Whittier and U. C. L. A. championship squads, no other conference players were mentioned for out- standing ability. However, numerous critics in the conference ranked Paul Mott as one of the three best forwards in Southern California. Morris Gross, despite his slight build, played a game at guard equal to any in the conference. All the varsity players were of above average ability. Next year should see San Diego fighting it out with Whittier for the conference crown. CONFERENCE STANDING W. L. Pct. Whittier . 9 1 .900 U. C. L.

As usual, Pablo was the outstanding player oi State's team. He was second high point man in the conference with 91 to his credit. Alway a dimcult man to spot, he averaged over 8 points to the game although he was the center of enemy attraction and atten- tion. Mott should be the best forward in the conference next year. DINON BUSCH, forward, second year. A consist- ent performer who played off the board ex- cellently. Noted for his continual fight and 3 pep , Dinon garnered 47 conference points for tenth place in the conference and third on the State team. He should do better next year.

He usually got the tip off and was a consistently good shot from the corners Lory garnered 49 points for ninth place 1n the conference andp second on the State squad. Much is ex- pected of him next season. CHARLES SMITH, forward and guard, second year, though versatile he was extremely inconsist- ent. When hot his long shots had the enemy floored. Should his consistency tally with his ability, Fat will play a great game next year. l1 RANK KOPP. lorwardand guuul lilst year. In- eligible last year, Frank Inmplv made up tor it this ve ar.

Under the coaching of Hal Brucker, a Frosh quintet was turned out which imbibed some of the finer points of the game. However, due to few players of actual ability, a general lack ofinterest, and a definite lack ofincentive, the team of'50 did not make a spectacular record for itself. The non-existence ofa defmite conference schedule due to a mixup in the managership and a consequent oversight, resulted in but one conference game being played, that with the Redlands Frosh. A schedule for the season was formed by playing county high schools and teams of like calibre in the vicinity of San Diego. About eleven games of other than practice importance were played. The scores were: Grossmont Hi, 24-21; National City Baptists, 7-18; Sweetwater Hi, 20-16; Army and Navy, 12-57; Klicka Lumber, 5-17; Grossmont Hi, 25-50; Redlands Frosh, 55-11; The Escondido Creamery game was the best of the season. The Frosh scored 218 points to 215 opposing. Led by Captain James Hildreth, the freshmen players who were in at least one quarter of all these games were: H. Tenwolde; H. Hansen; A. De Weese; G. Baker; W. Thudium; N. Thomas; A. Loucks. Ed Naquin acted as frosh manager for the season. Of these men Tenwolde was the outstanding player and high point man. Captain Hildreth, guard and second high point man, was the only other player of much merit.

State's dual meet record was perfect, but as she only met two of the weaker teams, the palm went to the three-time victorious Pomona team. However, Statels best claim to track honors rests on the performances of her athletes in the All- Conference meet where the Aztecs placed fifth. At the commencement of track season, Coach Peterson had a nucleus of nine letter men Due to ineligibilities and the freshman ruling, the Purple and Gold sq uad was abso- lutely lacking 1n sprinters, jumpers, and pole vaulters of any considerable merit. Throughout the year not a single first place was taken 1n the pole vault or high ;ump, while quarter milers were made into century and furlong runners. The first competitive test of the season was a medley relay between classes 1n January followed by the annual Irish Marathon, novice meet, and interclass meet. The frosh v1c- tory in the medley was counterbalanced by sop h wins in the Marathon and interclass Extra mural competition was first found at the A A U. Relay 3 at Los Ang eles, Feb- ruarglr 26, where State garnered eight points to tie with Occidental for sixth plagce 1n team stan 1ng s In the initial dual meet of the season, State defeated the University of Redlands sq uad, 81- 59. The Aztecs won the meet by points acquired on the track, though Mott, in the shot and javelin, set up the only new records of the meet. The following week the Poets came south with a mediocre team which was easily de- feated, 96 275 to 45 U5. The only notable marks were Mott's shotput of 41 feet 10M inches, and Guy Foxls time of 25.5 in the low hurdles which lacked only 1710 of a second of Duke Clearbrookls record. During the week previous to the All Conference meet, a triple meet was held between the Naval Training Station, Aztec Frosh, and Aztec ivarsity teams. This resulted in a ,varsity win with 45 5 7 6 points, to 57 1 7 6 for the Frosh and 57 for the Boots. On the next Saturday the leading athletes of the Aztec track team competed in the All Conference meet at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Though State only managed to take flfth place with nineteen points, the accomplishments of the Aztec contestants were in the Eatllire of dope upsets and furnished the chief surprises of the day, for no records were ro en. Captain Frank Boydstun took a close third in the high hurdles. Guy F ox copped a fourth in the low hurdles. Werner Petersen took third in the javelin. Paul Mott placed third in both shot and discus. Oliver Worden provided the best race of the day when he led his field to win the 440 in 50.4, a new college record. The relay team composed of F ox, Hoyt, Boydstun and Worden, acquired further honors for State by winning the mile relay in 5 :25 2 Also a new State colleg e record. Final results of the meet: Pomona 51 A , Occidental 56; Caltech 26 2 U C. gL A. 25, San Diego 19; Redlands 10, Whittier 5, and La Verne 5. Due to a conflict 1n dates, State did not have any representation on the Southern Con- ference All- Stars team which met Stanford Ap ril 9 On this date San Dieg o trekked north to Fresno and downed the Bulldo gs, 86- 45. San Dieg o 5 team was really composed of Var- sity and freshmen, and competedg on a triple meet basis, the results of the meet being: San Diego varsity, 59; Fresno State, 46; San Dieg o freshmen, 26 In this meet Worden low- ered the 220 mark from 22.9 to 22.4. All other performances were mediocre, due to using a recently completed track course which was very slow. Continuing on their travels, the Aztecs went to Tucson the next Saturday where the University of Arizona nozed out a victory, 65-57. Boydstun ran his fastest winning flight of high hurdles in 15.7. Petersen set up the only new record with a long fling of the javelin. Maurice Fox tied his last year,s mark of 21 feet 10.5 inches in the broad jump. Page One Hundred Thirty-four Worden Boydstuu Mott G. Fox Petersen Page One Hundred TlLirty-jim On the following Saturday, eight members of the San Diego team competed in the Santa Barbara Annual Invitational at Santa Barbara. These few Purple and Gold ath- letes managed to collect 42 points and win the Invitational meet from a field of ten teams. San Jose State p1aced second with 58.5 points; Pasadena Junior College followed with 38 1 7 6. Worden, in the 440, the San Diego relay team, and Petersen in the javelin set three of the nine new Invitational Meet records. Petersen's throw of 180 feet 7 175 inches was also a new Aztec record Still Journeying afar, the State relay team, composed of Fox, Hoy t, Boydstun, and WOIden, plus Petersen and Mott went north to compete in the West Coast Relays at Fresno, April 50 These six Aztecs SCOIed eighteen points to place San Diego fourth 1n the college class. Though the Fresno relays marked the end of the track season, a number of Aztec trackmen continued in training and competed for individual honors in the De Molay meet Maw 21. In sixteen events seven new records were set by 'varsity men; four new records were set and one was tied by freshmen.

The outstanding performers of the year were Bovdstun 1n the hurdles; Mott 1n the weig hts; Worden 1n the sprints;Fox,10w hurdles; and Petersen, javelin. Worden never lostg a 440 race during the year and gives great promise for next.Shou1d the above quintet return and combine with this vear s freshmen, State will have a strong upper division team next vear. Page One Hundred Thirty-xix Genet Fulton Bullen Brand Crosby Ruffa Page One Hundred leirty-smven Boydsmn Brand Crosby Fulton Knapp Genet Perry Balluff Brown Grant CROSS COUNTRY HE formation of a Harriers, club, with Crosby, president; Fulton, vice-president; Brand, secretary-treasurer, gave a much needed impetus to cross country at State. A longer course, 3.5 miles was selected to more near1y accord with the conference distance, yet the largest turnout for the long grind at State was had this year. Cross country was made an official minor sport and insignia were given to 'varsity men earning points in the conference run. Inter-Class cross country was run off Friday noon, December 5, just as a drizzling rain commenced. True to dope the sophs won with 27 points, closely followed by the frosh with 21, and 7 for upperclassmen. However, Linwood Brown, frosh captain, easily led the field to win in 19:21. Brown, thus earned the right to have his name engraved along with Metts, 1924, and Crosby, 1925, on the Iessop cross country trophy. Because of run- ning two blocks extra through error, Genet, soph leader, only placed third, 19:57. Don Brand, soph, placed second, 19:44, showing considerable improvement over his perform- ances of the previous year. The order of other finishers was: Crosby, junior; Balluff, frosh; Fulton, soph;Lanning, frosh; Knapp and Hawley, sophs;Grant, Perry, Hunter, and Burch, frosh; Moe and Keller, sophs, and Withers, frosh. Individual honors in the conference meet December 11 at Redlands went to Brown of State who won the 2.6 mile frosh run over an exceedingly rough and difficult course in 20.2. The Aztec freshmen annexed third to Branch and Caltech by placing Balluff, 18; Grant, 20; Hunter, 23; and Perry, 24. The ,varsity were less fortunate and only took fifth place to beat out Oxy. Genet ran with the leaders to gain fourth place. Brand made 15; Crosby, 19; Fulton, 26; and Knapp, 55. Boydstun managed both teams. More experience, good competition, better training and a different course should give States squad an excellent chance to take next years run. Page One Hundred Thirty-eiglzt Tenwolde Johnson Brown tCath Brose Ault Perry Yamamoto Shea FROSH TRACK HE freshman track team was the best major sport team put out by this class. With the aid of a few stars it placed third in the conference meet and helped to roll up points against Fresno and Arizona. After a period of inter-mural competition, the State frosh competed in the A. A. U. Relays, where seconds were taken to the U. S. C. frosh in special medley and mile relays. In a practice meet, the State frosh made 85A points to 27A for Sweetwater and 4 for Cor- onado. In this meet Brose set the discus record of 129 feet 1 inch. The Oxy meet was the only conference encounter of the season. The Cubs won, 72A to 67A; after the lead had changed several times. In the triple meet with N. T. S. and the State varsity, the Frosh nosed the Boots out of second place, 37 1-6 to 37. Brown ran the half in 2 205.8 for a new record. State took third in the Conference meet, besides setting 4 0f the 6 new records. Brown ran the mile in 4:382, and the two mile in 10:16.8 for two new times. .Brose threw the discus 122 feet 11 inches, and put the shot 40 feet 1 inch for the other conference records. He also took second in the hammer and was high point man with 13 markers. Tenwolde won the 880 in 2 .05 4 and placed third in the mile. Johnson took third in the hammer. Ault, Yamamoto, Hunter, and Perry took second to Oxy in the relay U. C. L. A. won the meet with 62A; Pomona 47; San Dieg 0 55; Oxy 27A; yCaltech 3; Whittier 1. Several freshmen competed 1n the Fresno and Arizona meets, making 26 points against Fresno, and 19 against Arizona. At the season 5 end Cap tain Linwood Brown had made 55V points by w1nning 6 0f 8 events entered. John Brose was hig h point man with 54 markers. Other numeral men were: Harry Tenwolde, 19; Gilbert Perry 9; Paul Shea 5A, and John Yamamoto, Alfred Johnson, Jack Hunter, and Donovan Ault who scored in the Conference meet. Others participating and scoring for the freshmen were, Grant, Bel- mont, A. Anderson, Balluff, and Walton. Page One Hundred Thirty-nine Hansen Roche Garland Keller VARSITY TENNIS F THERE is anything the average collegian dislikes more than a hair in his soup, it is an alibi. Therefore the varsity tennis team will make no excuses for a disastrous season. The start of the year saw no exceptional players ready to withstand the tide of strong conference competition. Around Leo Hansen, a player of better than average ability, was constructed a hard fighting but rather wild aggregation. Harry Roche, second man, showed a powerful service but only slow ground strokes to back it up. The third man, Robert Garland, played a steady, courageous game, but lacked a forcing drive and service. In fourth place was Joe Keller, whose perseverance cost his opponents a good share of the perspiration. Although defeated in three matches, the team fought hard, suH'ering no ignominy to fall on either Aztecland or themselves. Hansen won the only individual match of the varsity season when he defeated Brock at Redlands in straight sets. In company with three freshmen, Hansen also contributed to the State victory over the University of Arizona, and later made a good showing in the Ojai valley tournament. The season's scores were as follows: Caltech 7, State 0. Pomona college 7, State 0. University of Redlands 6, State 1. University of Arizona 0, Varsity and Freshmen 7. Page One Hundred Forty -Hhs- Blade Muench Muehleisen Loucks FROSH TENNIS Undefeated is the word that summarizes the activities of members of the State col- lege freshman tennis team during the 1927 season. The scalps of five opponent schools decorate their belts while their own remain adhesive to their craniums. A good record at the Ojai valley tournament late in April also added laurel to their wreaths. Three members of the team showed a skill in flattening the little white spheres that promises glory in years to come as varsity players. Dolf Muehleisen, Allan Blade, and Robert Muench played so nearly on a par with each other that they alternated in playing the difTerent positions. The fourth member, Alfred Loucks, deserves especial credit for successfully filling in 3. ap without possessing the brilliant technique of the others. Dolf Muehleisen is loud, moderate in height, symmetrical in build, reserved in con- versation and the possessor of a contagious smile. He plays a strong, brainy, reliable game. Diminutive is the journalistic adjective for Allan Blade. ttFormidable is what his opponents call him. He breathes the spirit ofyouth in ordinary life, but in play he settles down to work, if you get me. The third of the freshmen is a tall, Nordic young man; Viking in looks and action. Bone and muscle, grace and speed combine to make Robert Muench a donit mean may- be tennis player. Alfred Loucks is tall and dark. He is a fine fellow both off and on the court. Paired with Blade in the doubles play he developed a splendid net game, and proved n0 weakling in the singles matches. The Seasonal Score: Freshmen 6, U. S. C. Dental college 1.

This year is no exception as the date line for sports came long before the end of the diamond season. Consequently, very little can be said 1n the manner of a season 5 resume. Coach Lee Waymire found himself confronted by numerous difficulties which rendered the probability of a successful year very doubtful. Only four letter men returned and these did not number a single pitcher. Lack of interest in a sport, which remained under the system of a minor sport, nearly caused a cancellation of the State schedule, at one time. Finally some thirteen 0r fourteen men turned out and a club was formed. Captain Kenneth Johnson was present again at catchers position and gave signals to a made-over first baseman in the person of Terence Geddis. This battery worked smoothly at time but often was unsupported by the infield and especially by the over- worked outfield. Charles Fat Smith, a letterman, and Jimmy Anderson and Lawrence Bond held down the three base jobs. Lawrence Carr, at shortstop, completed the infield and also the roster of returning lettermen. In the outfield cavorted Ward Perkins, rig ht, Barkham Gamer, center, and Ed RuHa, left field. Beside these first string players, John Greg orv, William Stillwell, John Carroll, and Robert Garland played several 1nnings 0f collegigate baseball. The addition of several frosh players, plus a good pitcher and greater experience should develop a fairly respectable ball team next year. Page One Hundred Farty-two Geddes Yamamolo Ault Hayden Ritchey Montgomery Franklyn Belmont Hildreth FROSH BASEBALL HE freshman baseball season was similar to that of the varsity in regards to results, lack of material, and little interest. Some twelve 01' fourteen men turned out for the club and thus enabled the team to remain an active organization during the season. The battery was fairly well attended to with Burnoit Hayden at catcher and three men working out for the mound position. Donovan Ault, Milton Cameron, and John Brose all twirled a fair brand of ball and were worked frequently. When not pitching these men formed a couple of cogs in the outfield machinery. Sydney Franklyn held down first base; Donald Ritchie played second base; Alan Belmont performed on third base; and John Yamamoto supplied the short stop element. In the outfield, besides the versatile pitchers, were James Hildreth and John Montgomery. Stahm, Robert chdis and a few others furnished the opposition for the year. Besides several practice games with local high school clubs, the F rosh had a few Con- ference games. The first one was that with the U. C. L. A. first year men. Page One Hundred Forty-llzrre Page 011111111 de Iiurfy-fnur WOMENS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION IME was when woments athletics consisted of nothing more than a few barges on San Diego bay. Then the White Ducks , Pristis , Dog Watch and other crews competed for school supremacy. Unless one belonged to a crew, one was out of it socially. The rowing association was first called the Rowing Club of State Normal School of San Diego. Its purpose was the improvement of the general health of its members and the encouragement of aquatic sports . The name club evidently lacked the required dig- nity so in 1898 the official title was Changed to San Diego State Normal Rowing Associa- tion. Why that group should need special moral training is not understood, but it sought to improve the physical, mental and moral well-being of its members . The organi- zation was finally perfected February 2, 1899 under the first commodore, Mr. I D. Burks, then head of the education department. A barge was bought and June 11, 1902 a new constitution was adopted. The crews, however, were found unsatisfactory as the only form of women's athletics. As they approached nearer sororities, Miss Tanner organized a more democratic Girls athletic association. Basket-ball, captain ball and tennis were added and an executive board, the nucleus of the present W. A. A. Board was formed. Contrasted to our elab- orate system of awards, only a silk sleeve band of white with a gold N was given. The Women,s athletic association finally met in November, 1925. Soon it became a member of the Western section of the athletic conference ofAmerican college women. Now the college owns two eight-oared barges and five crews each with a membership of fourteen. Twice a day fourteen or more girls meet at Gunther,s salt water and Y. W. C. A. fresh water plunges to swim. Each pool provides excellent instruction. Before receiving points the girls must pass tests. Speedball, as a seasonal sport and horseshoe, as a noon recreation are also new additions. Regular seasonal sports: indoor, basket-ball, and vol- ley-ball were successfully completed with a maximum of girls competing. Enthusiasm in Saturday morning hikes was also sustained throughout the year. New training rules doubled the number of girls participating. Socially W. A. A. was equally active. The annual welcome tea for the freshmen was a Saint Patrick,s aftair. Everyone and everything was green. Postponed because of the rains, the traditional basket-ball week-end party at Shirley cottage was not held until after speed-ball season. Then both winning teams entertained the losers. The most demo- cratic get together of the year, however, was a rally successfully initiated by the W.A.A. board. It included an afternoon of games, a hot supper and entertainment. Co-responsible with the board for the year were the sports managers: tennis, Betty Dahlfues; swimming, Gladys Smith; rowing, Mable Bennett, hiking, Blanche Helm; volley-ball, Margaret Giles; basket-ball, Iva Copple; and speed-ball, Esther Buckley.

Shall we turn the page? Page One Hundred Forfyvxmwu PLACROTES VERY college has its hero. Various exploits of these old grads echo down the halls and over the campuses. But without a doubt the story of Stude Placrotes, for- merly a student at Calford, is more than usually stimulating. Placrotes' gifts lay principally along academic lines. After completing the prescribed four-year high school course in one hour and fifteen minutes, it was evident that the boy was good. When he announced his intention of applying for admission at Calford, that colleges Dean of Men organized a welcoming party. The scene of Stude,s first meeting with higher education was extremely impressive. The assembled student body, headed by the Dean, the football team, and other import- ant members of the organization, met him at the campus gate. As Stude stepped from his car, a great roar went up, followed by the clanging of ambulance bells. Ambulances had been summoned to carry away sixteen men who had sustained fractured legs; these men represented the several frats that were attempting to rush the newcomer. Stude was escorted to the administration building, where, after merely glancing at the catalogue, he informed the Dean that apparently the institution oftered no adequate courses for a person of real ability. Whereupon the Dean promptly and efficiently organ- ized seventy-four new departments. This seemed to satisfy Stude, and he realized then that bulk of work was desired. , After consultation it was decided that the Aptedike test would be used to measure this collossal brain. All the most prominent educators of the time, including the Deans of many a far flung college, were present to witness the spectacle. Stude was seated in the assembly hall with the packed gallery at some distance behind him. Everything was put in fussy order, and the test started. Stude completed the first assignment in such a short time that the person in charge of the test did not have time to consult his watch. The remaining portions were done four at a time, Stude using two pencils in each hand. A special committee was appointed to score the results immediately, so gratifying were they that some people expected Placrotes would be offered the presi- dency of the college at once. As a matter of fact, he had scored a clean 900 out ofa possi- ble 400. After this matter was off his mind, Stude went to his first class in English Composi- tion. He wrote so swiftly and so much that the authorities were compelled to build a special Chute from the classroom to the office of the instructor and on to the storeroom, where a bindery had been installed, and a corps of upperclassmen worked night and day, classifying and arranging this stupendous work. Later, on being asked a question by a scientific Classmate, Placrotes answered with such amazing clarity that a crowd gathered at once. After explaining all moot questions propounded, he launched forth into a detailed explanation of Einsteinls theory, the nebu- lar hypothesis, and the more difficult phases of biological inquiry. Indeed, Stude's accomplishments rose to such unexampled heights that the faculty decided to present him with a diploma after only one weeks work. Some were so bold as to say that certain of the professorial stalT were getting uneasy about the tenure of their positions. At any rate, Placrotes was hurriedly graduated with highest honors. Whereupon he promptly accepted a position as service station operator.

You mean his fiancee? queried Cosmo. More truth than poetry, I admitted, jumping at this opportunity to display my intense knowledge of debate. This was my minor premise. Soon I would launch a baffling attack on a play I had just seen, The Captive, and then I would leave the bewildered Gibbs boys in a coma. You mean that the statement embodied more hard cold facts than metre, sug- gested the obliging Cosmo. I blushed, crestfallen as a humble-ereI can't locate the right word.

And I was overcome, wishing that I could express myself like that. You can if you really want to, admitted Cosmo. But the truth is: lOmnia res in hac vivenda non purus estf It is a case of verification versus amplification. From Shelley: the perfect dream of what might-have-been. From Browning: the conception of life in its rougher moods. From Kipling: the enjoying of the perfect dream and play- ing with it. Each man, feeling with that being which he has constructed, the passions, the urges, the truths of reality, will fall, embittered and tasteless. Then suddenly, some day, he will realize that there is no aim greater than realizing a mere fourth dimension. I felt too, that Cosmo knew what he was talking about.

The Gibbs boys laughed heartily. They never were too considerate. Yes we were, insisted Cosmo. Back in England we had to be. We had to move in circles with MEN. I was impatient. Boys, live a surprise for you. A very, very great man is coming over. You will enjoy him. I hope you learn from him. He is Horace- HG. Wells, supplied Philip. Yes.

Uncle, do you have to do that? asked the three Gibbs boys. No, he remarked, and continued his jabbering. While he worked the Gibbs boys and myself chatted about prohibition, marines, the League, war, the races, and the latest boats for England.

Suddenly Maurice turned to the heaven-lit sky, and choked out a call for mercy. The chickadees sassed him, and he gasped with a fear of himselfeof life. He felt Elaine's beating pulse as a challenge to his will, and he suddenly broke away, and ran down the path to that world which pulled him painfully, irresistibly. Elaine threw a rose petal on the gray, cinder path, and kissed the place where Maurice had stood. Terrible, said Wells, gruny. I said this was the ending to a novel. Bah!
