Vr E EDEEL $MDGDEE$UKEE 1IH- CAMPUS ,28 329 NOTHER year at San Diego State College is passingea year fllleJ with memories and L pictures that make San Diego days a kaleidoscopic sequence of action. Blue days, and gray days, sunny days, and gay days recall colorful and absorbing scenes that stir again memories under the Scarlet and the Black. A blur of color melting into the whiteness of the sunny stadium, fiery yell-leadets uniformly drawing cheers and shouts from 21 thousand eager faces, a scarlet flash, and the Varsity enters the fieldeon with the game! Now comes a cool autumn night. There is a crackling of fresh wood, and the brilliant flames leap in joyous abandon toward the black night sky. Another rally! Another memory! A change of scene; one hears 0f the great Schubert. Comes the memorial program, a work of art. Rain, and with it, winter sports; basketball, plays, and dances. Another term, new Freshmen, new interests, and new traditions. A winning track-team, and talk of the Follies. A soft wind blows over the campus, a hot sun pours down on brightly-clad figures; spring fever! Days of work, and then finals. The last mad rush to get everything in, teas, dances, the Junior Prom, and term papers. Thoughts of vacation or graduation. Another San Diego year is passing. Page TlL'l'nIy-HIH'

E HEEL $MUDTEDEE$UEEE AUTUMN SEMESTER, 1928 ALLING students, new and old to San Diego State College, the autumn semester came after three short summer months of vacationing. Freshmen, three hundred and fifty strong, entered with all the hope and eagerness of the HLowly Ftosh. Registration marked the first event on the calendar, and the halls reverberated with the many voices of friendly hello's. The student body welcome to the peagreens came the first Friday night, in the form of a reception and ball at the American Legion hall. New athletic material was sought by the Frosh coaches, and the test came in the Soph-Frosh tug-o-war. Sweating, pulling men, dressed in ragged shirts, and old trousers, fought for the honor of their classes, and the Youngsters tugged the mighty Sophs through the hose-line. Attention was diverted from studies and focused on the Alumni play which dedicated the Little Workshop Theatre. Older students hailed the return of veteran actors in i'Arms and the Man, and new members found the play entertainingly presented. The first annual Aztec Trek caused quite a sensation on the campus. The idea was original, and the curious student body turned out en masse, to carry picnic lunches and hike Over the San Diego river sand dunes in the September moonlight. Yells, speeches and many practical jokes made a hilarious party, and all were loathe to leave the camp-tire and the sand-hills. Assemblies were filled with pep speeches for the coming football games. The yell- leader assembly was held to select the best assistant yell-leaders by popular applause. New college songs and yells were taught to the students at this meeting. Pre-rallies for the Occidental game were held that week. The Oxy game meant more than a game to the Aztec sport followers, and the AZtec rooters; it meant the first real game of the season in the conference. It meant the first white rooting section presented to the city of San Diego, and the first card stunts enacted by the college rooters. It brought out the Aztec band, the cheer leaders, the student body, and the pep. The game was lost, but the spirit of the loyal Aztecs did not die. The spotlight focused on the games, but social activities were in full swing. The Soph- omore Hop honoring the Freshmen was held on Friday evening, October 26th in the form of a Tacky Party. Bums, children, apaches, and numerous costumed figures presented themselves to society, and apple cider with doughnuts helped Carry out the idea. The noon dances in the women's gynmasium also started. These found real favor with ed and co-ed alike, and the dancing contests were attended with great interest. On October 27th, the Aztec warriors entertained the Whittier Poets in San Diego. Enthusiasm ran high; the bleachers were packed with loyal, shouting rooters; the Varsity played the best game of the year. After the first touchdown made by Whittier, the Scarlet and Black aggregation got down to real business, and from then until the final whistle blew, the game was San Diego's. The final count was 33 to 12 for the Aztecs. San Diego lost one of the finest quarterbacks ever to don a State uniform in this fracas. While making a sensational end run, john Yamamoto, flashy ball toter was injured in a tackle, and a frac- tured thigh bone forced him from the pigskin sport the rest of the season. One week later, John's younger brother, Paul, star Papoose guard, was injured in the Oxy-Aztec frosh game, and he too was forced from his favorite sport for the season. The Tiger babes fell before the onrush of Coach Brucker's yearlings to a 6-0 score. Pugr 'I'wrnly-Itt'o
