An enduring record of their quest has been Chisel- ed in the marble of the ages. Today youth hears the call Ofadventure lur- ing them to the search for the golden fleece of education, an illumining energizing ideal of dynamic altruism that Challenges all ofyouthts potenti- alities.

' r-LARRY CAMPBELL. QLMA WATER EAUTY9 sacred in the ancient Spartans9 creed, links the real and the unreal, the Visible and invisible, the known and the un- known. Its naturalness, its purity, its sim- plicity inspire man9s reverence and his awe. Beauty in man, beauty in nature, beauty in life impel him to surround himself with the beautiful in traditions, in friendships, and in institutions. The college is the institution in which this reverence, this awe, this love of beauty are to become a part Of the youth of the many tomorrows. The college is youth9s Opportunity to develop his symmetry of phy- sique and intellect, Ofeharacter and person- ality that will make life more beautiful for all. The college beautiful will some day he a reality. The Spartan youth of today dedicates his time, his energy, his very being to the most beauti- ful college of t0day-his Alma Mater.

'3 V 2 E g JADMINISTRATION RUTH, the discovery of which is neces- sary for complete understanding between any people9 has made possible the ever onward and upward progress of civilization through- Out the ages. The discovery of truth, through the heart 01' through reason, the examination, evaluation, and interpretation of things as they really are,-these are the ends toward ' which a teaching staff must lead its disciples. An oasis t0 the searcher for truth is the Col- lege F aculty, that group of learned men and women who devote untold time and energy to satisfy this quest, this desire for knowledge,-e a knowledge of the principles, the funda- mental truths of life, in order that more purposeful and worth- while living may be maintained.

LA TORRE a a GLASSES IGHT thinking, right feeling, and right living are more easily discerned as the quest for truth advances. The rights of hu- manity are championed by the graduates of an institution in which ideals for universal peace, goodewill, and right and honest living are instilled. To be right in the decision of any question, the judge must first consider all its angles, hence the individual of today is rightly educated for the service of all man- kind, rather than for the service of the State, which was customary in Spartan days. Today, however, as in ancient times, moral standards are learned through personal contacts, and knowledge of folk-ways, customs, and laws may be built from formal instruction as well as from social intercourse made possible through class organization. Edward Elzorn gebtumy Glass The largest mid-wintet Class in the history of the State Teach- ers College was graduated in the Morris Daily Auditorium, Wednesday, February 3, 1926, at ten otelock. One hundred and thirty-three diplomas were granted. Dr. Paul Cadman, Assist- ant Professor of Economics and Assistant Dean of Men at the University of California, spoke upon ttThe Youth and Spirit Of Todayh in the commencement address. The Class gift to the college was a sum of money, over three hundred and ninety d01- lars, to be used in landscaping the grounds of the Edwin Mark- ham rest cottage, which was recently dedicated. Ray Kendall Rutlz Felt Karl Haze'Ytine Dona Rodgers The Class was first organized in the fall of 1925, and all busi- ness has been transacted by the class executive board, Which was composed of the Class officers and the faculty advisers.

The class of this year is graduating far more members than has any Class heretofore, and is the first one to have graduates under any organization. As the graduating Classes are organized as June and August Classes, and they in turn take over main events such as the Senior Class Play, the Senior Class did. not launch on any large project. It did, however, put on a program in assembly and supported the class annual trip to Mt. Hamilton.

It was decided that all the affairs of the class be taken care of by committees appointed by the president. A. second meeting was held two weeks later, which was called for the purpose of deciding about the activities for the semester. A Junior class dance was decided upon for April 10, 1926. It was also agreed that the class should give a program in assembly. K. Edwards C. Armstrong M.

The organiza- tion and interest of this class pave the way toward greater accom- plishments in the future. The Class took over the Student Body dance of April 10, and gave a spring sport dance, which was a great success. The colorful spring decorations made a lovely background for the feature numbers of the evening, which were unusual in their Charm and originality. The members of the class also enjoyed a picnic. ' Plans were also formulated for creating interest in and spon- soring Class sports, a goal which though, not reached this semester, promises to make for a more sincere interest in future athletic activities.

RIP CGHE STUDENT $ODY NITY, that sacred bond which safeguards man7s rights and privileges, insures strength, and promotes co-Operation, was ac- knowledged as a basic factor in the educational scheme of the Spartans. In order that perfect symmetry and unity be maintained, an all- around development of mind and body is necessary. Social and political unity involves leadership as well as followership, and train- ing in both of these qualities is essential to symmetry in education. The modern college Offers this valuable training in citizenship, this Opportunity for achievement through CO-operation, this service for love of service alone, t h r 0 u g h the Associated Student Body. PAUL THOMAS P. VICTOR PETERSON President Faculty Aldwisor cizissociated Student SBOdy Reorganization of: the bulletin boards was one Of'the most im- portant Changes of the year. A committee in Charge of Marie Nleyers was appointed to make regulatiens concerning the post- ing of all notices. Two main boards were placed in prominent places in the eorridor-s-organization groups being placed to- gether. These boards were painted gray and now have notices of regulation size with printed heads in different colors for the various activities of organizations. The committee has proved to be very eHieient and has done a splendid work in making the corridors more sightly and announcements more eHieient. The Rally Committee is another great improvement along student lines. For a school to be successful there must be a close bond between the Student Body and athletics. To establish this union in San Jose State Teachers College, Paul Thomas con- ceived the idea of a Rally Committee to be appointed by the Student Body president. It was the purpose of this committee to further the eo-operation between the students as the whole and the athletics of the school. Paul Thomas acted as Chairman of this first committee, which consisted of twenty members. Although the committee met as one, it was divided into three parts. There was the Advertising Committee acting under the able leadership of William Sweeney, a Stunts Committee with Harold Hyde acting very successfully as Chairman, and lastly MARJORIE BOND M. TWOMBLY President Fawlty Hdtvisvr was the Entertainment Committee, whose success was partially due to the leadership of Dorothea Burke. This Rally Committee has been very successful in all it has undertaken, sponsoring some very Clever stunts and fine enter- tainment. It gave two splendid parties during the basketball season to Visiting teams. The first one, given to the Fresno team, was in charge of Paul Thomas, While Elizabeth Sword had charge of the second party given to the Sacramento team. Judg- ing from the favorable reports from the members of the Visiting teams, the committee gave everyone a splendid time. Between the halves of the basketball games the Stunts Committee enter- tained royally. They had bicycle and tumbling acts Which proved most entertaining. Between the halves of the San Luis Obispo and the San Jose football game, they had a girls mock football game. Taking the work of the entire committee as a Whole, it may be truthfully said that it achieved its purpose of CO-operation, inter- est, and closer union between the Student Body and athletics. .At this time mention should be made of the Spartan Knights, Which is an organization similar in purpose to the Rally Com- mittee. The members assist the Rally Committee, usher at school functions, and uphold. the traditions of the College so that Fresh- men may better understand its ideals and purposes. One of the best ways of making San Jose State College known throughout the State has been the excellent advertising put through under the supervision of Bob Rhodes. Gold and White stickers for suitcases and Windshields were printed and are now seen throughout most of California. Something new in the way of. advertising was tried this year and proved quite successful. Radio programs put on every Nlonday night by College talent have received favorable com- ments from widely separated radio fans. With the large increase in the number of students in College this year came the need for greater efiieiency among the execu- tive oHieers. The efheient presidents of 1925-26, Paul Thomas and Marjorie Bond, with the willing co-operation of their re- spective Executive Boards have met diHieult problems in a strong and efficient manner. As the College has grown, they have introduced changes which have strengthened the feeling of unity among the students. This .co-operative feeling has shown itself in all the activities of the year. Among the more outstanding achievements of the two semes- ters is the formation of a California Student Presidents, Organi- zation among the minor colleges of California. This organiza- tion has already proved. itself invaluable in solving various E. Stevenson C. Burrell A. Cakebread A. Bradeen H. Lathrop E. Chapman L. Campbell student problems. San Jose State is honored by the fact that Paul Thomas of the State College was responsible for the forma- tion of this splendid organization. Seeing the need of college co-operation and friendly spirit, he decided to establish a Cali- fornia Student Presidentsi Association. San Jose State sent out letters concerning this conference to thirty colleges, asking them to send delegates to the conference, which was to meet January 23rd in San Jose. Delegates from the following colleges attended the confer- ence: San Jose, Chico, San lVIateo, Santa Barbara, San Fran- cisco, Sacramento, Hollister, and Santa Rosa. Although Fresno and Modesto sent me delegates to the conference, they joined the delegation. At the morning meeting of the conference, Paul Thomas was unanimously elected temporary chairman, while Gladys Max- well was unanimously elected temporary secretary. The meet- ing was called. to order and the constitution of the Pacific Student Presidents, Association was read. Each delegate then discussed the problems of his college. In the afternoon session the con- stitution was accepted with a few amendments. Following this 1W. McMillan R. West G. Taylor M. Bond K. Edwards G. Delbon 1V1. Carlyon Al. Rhodes H. Campen C. Miles E. Stevenson H. Lathrop L. Campbell B. Gibbs the officers of the convention were elected. Paul Thomas of San Jose was nominated for presidency, but declined the nomi- nation. James Lester of San iWateo was elected president. Marjorie Bond of San Jose was elected Viee-president. Gladys Nlaxwell of San Francisco was nominated for secretary, but declined the nomination. iMaleolm NIacQuiddy 0f Hollister was elected secretary. Edwin OiReilly of Santa Barbara was elected treasurer. Bob Lewis, a Stanford representative of the Pacific Student lPresidents, Association, told the delegates of the organization and function of this association. The next meeting of the Asso- ciated Student Presidents, Association is to be held at San Mateo. Another organization of great value is the Spartan Union, Which is ChieHy an advisory committee, composed of the mem- bers of the Executive Board and the presidents of all organiza- tions on the campus. Its chief function is to discuss problems relating to student affairs and to make recommendations upon Which the Executive Board and the various organizations act. This had developed a means of eo-operation among the organi- zations Which has never before been possible. 1M. McMillan A. Cakebread A. Bradeen C. Burrell ' C. McDonald R. Wells The school spirit shown during the past year has been splendid and has been greatly encouraged by the band. At all the games and rallies it has taken a prominent part. The yell leaders have done much to increase this spirit. They have introduced new songs and yells and have taught the Old ones so that all the stu- dents now take part in the rallies. Spartan entertainments given by local talent every Friday noon in the auditorium have been of much interest to the students and have played their part in forwarding the spirit of the College. Another progressive step is the consideration of a number of constitutional changes made necessary by the enlarged enroll- ment and the Change in the Character of the College. Finally the decided improvement and interest in social affairs must be mentioned. The dances this year have been all that the students could desire. The fine music and beautiful decorations showed a marked advance over those of last year. The Wednes- day noon dances are also very popular and attract a large crowd. LARRY CAMPBELL GEORGE H. BUSCH Editor Manager La 55mm Sensational and spectacular Changes were not promised by the staff of the 1926 LA TORRE, but the progressive policy of the previous stat? was adapted to the new situation in Which increased financial support made possible the publication of a more elabo- rate volume. iiBooksW some one has said, are iilighthouses 0n the great sea of timef, The 1926 LA TORRE in the years to come Will be a lighthouse in the sea of time, sending its shafts of light backward toward the college yesterdays. The members of the staff have worked all year to make the book What it is today. It is their hope that this lighthouse 0n the sea. of time Will moor the memories of students in a happy harbor.

With the in crease in quantity, there was also a decided increase in quality. The TTSlaminerf a special edition devoted to razz, was one of the Cleverest pieces of work put out by the staff. During the semester, a movement was started for the closer correlation of the Times staff with the College Journalism Class, and for the granting of credit to staff members for units of work accomplished. The only social function of the fall semester was the Times party, which was held at th 1e Hiehborn home in Santa Clara. A publication with a personality, the College szes surpassed the editions of previous years in its accurate and complete news service, versatile feature writing, and progressive editorial policy.

Changed to a seven-column paper, its size varied, at times being four pages and at other times six pages. MenTs athletics received additional attention both in news and comment. The assistance received from the Journalism Class was of con- siderable value both to the class and the staff. The recognition of staff work by giving credit became a fact. With the ofiice equipment secured during the fall and the in- troduction 0f efHCient methods by both business managers, the business management kept pace with the Other improvements.

Bambauer Student cglffaits Committee llOn with the dancell is a shout heard time and again issuing forth from the corridors of San Jose State College, and the reason for the popularity of the college dances may be largely accredited to endless efforts put forth by the Student Affairs Committee. It is the duty of this committee to see that all the dances are successful, and. up to the present time the Student Affairs Committee has never yet shirked its responsibility. Last semester this committee, under the leadership of a very able chairman, Grant Taylor, sponsored many successful social occasions, exercising eflieient student control. Whenever aid was needed in any student function, the Student Affairs Committee was called upon and such aid was gladly given. This semester the committee, with Byron Gibbs as chairman, is endeavoring to uphold the policies of its predecessors in at- tempting to have the social affairs come up to high standards. The committee is made of hard workers who feel responsibility in all the social affairs of the school. It is endeavoring to put more emphasis upon the weekly noon dances, and has for the term, as a special attraction, the State Collegian Orchestra.

Recognizing the truth in the Homeric statement, hThe force of union conquers allf the Executive Board last fall initiated the movement to unite and eo-ordinate the various college activities. The growth of the we-feeling, 0f the spirit of togetherness and. at-one-ness, 0f the need for har- monious and unihed action, have helped to make the organization an important factor on the campus. As an open forum for the discussion of contemplated projects and programs, as an advisory council for the Executive Board, and as a centralizing agency for the student body, it has quietly and effectively carried on its work. That this organization should continue to be of utility to the student democracy here is self-evident, for to paraphrase the words of Daniel Webster, we have hone college, one student body, one destiny? CJLeealth Gottage The Edwin Nlarkham Health Cottage, Which has been under construction since last summer, was completed and formally opened on February 10, 1926, With Will C. Wood, State Super- intendent of Public Instruction, as principal speaker. The Health Cottage is entirely a student project, hnanced by sales and contributions, and in part constructed by college Classes. It is a project Which is only started, and will go on and be added to for years to come. The efforts of the Student Body, under the dynamic leadership of Miss Elizabeth NICFadden, have been many and varied in order that this dream of ten years might be realized. A monument of unselfish, untiring effort stands the Edwin Markham Cottage, 21 nine-room stucco building, substantial, and comfortably furnishedw-a haven of refuge t0 the tired or the ill. C. Miles J.

This store was established upon the basis of student and faculty eo-operation, and since its establishment it has lived up to this principle. - The students have entire Charge of the store, With Mr. Peterson acting as faculty representative and advisor. There is a C0- operative Board composed of four members, Who are elected by the students for the term of one year. Each semester two new members are elected to the board. It is the duty of the board and the faculty advisor to appoint the manager, Who has complete charge of the management of the store, as well as being chairman of the board. The manager of the store is appointed for the term of one year, is paid a salary, and it is the policy of the school, because of the experience necessary in managing the store, to have the same manager as long as possible. Besides being an absolute success in co-operation, the store has proved very successful financially. It started with only six hun- dred dollars, but it now has stock valued at five thousand dollars, and last yearis sales amounted to over eighteen thousand dollars. C. Burrell R. Rhodes B. Gibbs P. V.

It has been customary to include on this board the president and treasurer of W. A. A., thus Virtually making a board of fwe members. The duties of the VVomenk Athletic Board are not many, as it acts for the most part in the capacity of a hnaneial committee for the WomenTs Athletic Association, determining the expenditures for WomenTs Athletics and the different social functions of W.

At present it is composed of hve mem- bers; a president, who is the director of physical education, two other faculty members and two students. Mr. E. R. Knollin, the director of Physical Education, is the president of the Board. Mr. Peterson and Mr. iWeDonald are the faculty representatives, and Mr. Aarian Cakebread the General Athletic Manager, with one other student recommended by the General Athletic Man- ager and appointed by and. with the advice and consent of the ' Board, are the student members. Student sport managers are appointed upon the recommenda- tion of the General Athletic Manager to take charge of each sport and to sit in on Board meetings, although having no vote. This is for the purpose of enabling them to better acquaint them- selves with the several problems pertaining to their individual sport that they may better understand and co-operate with each other in solving these problems. The business of the Board is growing rapidly and a new officer called the Financial Secretary has become necessary, whose duty it is to supervise and train the managers who supersede each other. A new manager taking over the burden of a manageris duties suddenly finds himself confronted with many problems which need experience to solve. It is a saving both to himself in learning and to the student fund if he can receive advice on these problems. Hence he will hnd it a great help to be able to ask advice and receive help on his various newly acquired duties. eRQANIZATIONs ERVICE, greatest of all Spartan Virtues, qualities of loyalty and love, for without these, the desire to serve is unmotivated. Service in some form, obscure or scintillating, has been the keynote of every great and suc- cessful enterprise throughout the ages. The Opportunity for service is almost unlimited. Philanthropic societies the world over are en- gaging in various forms of social service. Educational institutions are founded With and cherished by the ideals of service at work. Inside the college, activities of civic value are carried on, and traditions of the institution are preserved by the College Organizations. Howard H. Lathrop Kenneth Edwards 65716 Wenis Glub The Men,s Club is composed of every man in the college, Who automatically becomes a member upon his enrollment in this institution. The purpose of the club is to formulate a better and more co-operative spirit among the men. Meetings are held monthly. Last year through the activity and efforts of the MenTs Club administration, the Club was given a Club house, Where all the members gathered during the day for music, rest, and recreation, being especially popular around lunch time. The Club has been more or less handicapped this year due to the absence of this club house, Which has been taken over by the. administration of the college for class rooms, due to the large growth of this institution and the lack of adequate room. They hope, however, to gain another Club house or room soon. Last semester, under the lead- ership of Kenneth Edwards, rapid progress was made toward that goal. . This semester many achievements have been accomplished under the leadership of the president, Robert Rhodes. Clyde McDonald Arthur Hoge B. RHODES C. CARR President Vice-President The Menis Club at the beginning of each semester sponsors a tie up between the incoming Fresh and the Sophs. Both tie ups this semester and last were won by the Sophs, not without a herce struggle from the under Classmen. A banquet each semester usually follows the tie up, a stag affair made entertaining and enjoyable through the efforts of well-planned menus, entertainment and ever popular short speeches from the male members of the faculty. The Menis Club has been well supplied with good workers and cooks. Both iifeedsii were acknowledged a great success. Last semester a turkey dinner was given and this semester a Chicken dinner with all the iitrimmingsfi Another social function is the Menis Club Dance, which has always been popular. In the fall semester the dance was held at the Womenis Club House in Palo Alto. Another of the many achievements this year was the formation of the Spartan Knights, an honorary body of twenty-five members for school service. W. Sweeney B. Gibbs Helen Campen Caroline Illiles 55716 gissociated Women Students The first unit of work to be done by the Associated Women Students during the fall semester was the Big Sister project. Organization under the capable direction of Ruth Breckenridge and Mary Swickard Was carried out during summer vacation, so the Big Sisters were able to welcome the Freshmen as soon as college opened. The first event given in their honor was the library tea, which was sponsored by the A. W. S. as well as by the library staff. Traditionally the Freshmen girls were initiated at the first A. W. S. assembly. Another precedent was established by this group of ofiicers of having student entertainment at the girls7 assemblies. This afforded the talented members of the A. W. S. an excellent opportunity for expression. A new room for an A. W. S. club room was secured, located in the apartment of. the Home NIaking Building. The room is used as a meeting place for the A. W. S. Council and other com- mittees as well as for social activities of the girls.

Through the organization of the Y. W. C. A. into committees there is opportunity for every th member to participate in some phase of extra-curricular activity. Development of executive ability, leadership and a spirit of hgive and .take,,, the making of true friendships, a broadening in religious Views, and a wider conception of world problems are some of the valuable assets derived from th work. Ruth Felt and Geraldine Delbon have proved themselves eHiCient and capable presidents in directing the work of the association during the last year. ; The hYk- Follies? an entertainment consisting of vaudeville numbers and two onewact plays, was presented in December under the direction of Geraldine Delbon and her linance com- mittee. In October the members of. first and second cabinets had a house party at Mount Hermon. They were privileged to have with them Miss Alice Hoyt, Pacific Coast Student Secretary. She led discussions concerning the World Court and other topics of Vital interest to college women. The Social Service Committee sponsored a Christmas party at the Tuberculosis Preventorium. A program, games, stockings filled with toys, candy and fruit, all gave pleasure to the little llshut-insY, Meetings of the entire Y. W. C. A. were held regularly every month, each one carrying out some particular motif. Especially impressive was the Christmas meeting, in which a memorial service was held commemorating the work of Elizabeth Moore, who was responsible for the establishment of a Y. W. C. A. on the campus of the old San Jose Normal School. After each' meeting in the llYll room, second cabinet girls served dinner in Society Hall. These dinners were featured by musical numbers, impromptu stunts, and the singing of llYll songs. In the sprinOr semester, sending a delegate to the Biennial National Convention of the Y. W. C. A. at Milwaukee, April twenty-flrst to twenty-seventh, occupied the center of effort and interest of all IlYl, members. Two hundred dollars had to be raised within six weeks time. Every committee sponsored some money-raising scheme. Every method from rummage sales to leink teasll was employed to raise the required sum. In March another house party was held by the two cabinets at a resort in the Santa Cruz Mountains. A series of discussions on Y. W. C. A. from the personal, local, and international stand- points was held. Miss Henrietta Thomson, traveling secretary, who deals with foreign students on the Pacino Coast campuses, gave the girls some inspiring talks concerning internationalism, and painted some Vivid pictures of the ill treatment of foreign- ers in America.

Lazo The CJilipino Club The Filipino Club has been in existence in the State Teachers College since 1922. As the college members are very few, the Club has decided to include the high school members to make it a larger organization. So far, it has done nothing in any of the school activities, but the members are always found to be strong supporters of all school teams, upholders 0f the school traditions, loyal to the institution, abiding by the laws and rules of the school, and always ready to support any school campaigns Which are worthy. The aims and purposes of the club are as follows: First-To have mutual cooperation among the members. Second-To promote a better understanding and a closer rela- tionship between the American students and the Filipino stu- dents of the high school and college. To do this, it is the duty of each member of the Club not to hesitate to explain important facts relating to the present problems of the Philippine Islands in his class or in any other organization if he is requested to do so. Third-The club acts as a body to Challenge any false facts concerning the Filipino people or the Philippine Islands, and helps in advertising the college and high school both in the United States and other parts of the world.

During the short interval which has elapsed the Players have proved their ability in dramatic accomplishment and are the only playing Club of the college. Besides presenting many one-act plays and performances in Student Body Assemblies and at variqus Clubs of San Jose, the club presents a three-act drama each semester. In the first group, tiThe Ghost Storyb by Booth Tarkington was given, and the iTrysting Placeii by the same author broadcast over the radio. iiYou and If, the Harvard Prize Play by Philip Barry, was the big fall production, and in the spring Ethel Hale Freeman,s dramatization 0f tiMonsieur Beaucaireb was presented by the San Jose Players under the auspices of the San Jose Branch of the American Association of University Women, the first three- aet costume dramato be given by the Club. There is never an idle moment for the San Jose Players. Soon after registration acting tryouts and examinations on costuming, . lighting, and stagecraft are held, followed immediately by the pledging service for the new members, and a week later by the initiation service. 56m jose Tlayets An outline of dates for the dramatic pro- gram, regular meetings and social affairs, is worked out. The plans made, the Players are ready for work, each member concen- trating his efforts in his special held of activity, yet CO-operating With his fellow workers in a striving to uphold the stand- ards idealized in the heart of every player. The honorary members of the San Jose Players are Miss San- derson, Miss Sprague, Dr. Bland and Norman Hackett. Miss Sanderson, Who is director of the club, is on leave of absence in Europe. During the ensuing year the Players have been eX- ceedingly fortunate in having iV'Iiss Viola Mae Powell as coach and advisor. She has assumed the responsibilities of her position and played the role of leader for all the players. The Alumni members of the club may remain active members if they care to do so. It is hoped that some day the work of the club may be extended in an Alumni Association-onee a San Jose Player, always a San Jose Player. Vivian Rhodes Evelyn Chapman Charles Greenleaf V.

In order to cope With the new policy adopted by the Woments Physical Education Department it was necessary that various Changes in the constitution be made. Provision was made for the purchase of a Silver Loving Cup for the furthering of athletic interests Within the college. The Class capturing the largest number of points during the entire college year Will have the honor of being the hrst to have its name engraved upon the cup. In an aim to have W. A.

Campbell Spartan Knights The Spartan Knights, an association of underclassmen, were hrst organized at San Jose State Teachers College this year on a representative basis. The purpose of the organization was three- fold: entertainment of Visiting teams in Which the Knights shall aid the rally committee of the Student Body; ushering at all school contests and school functions; and last and most impor- tant, upholding the traditions of the college so that the Freshman Class may better understand its ideals and purposes. The Duke, the active head of the organization, must be a Junior. He is responsible for the formation of the organization. The Knights are hoping for membership in the Intercollegiate Order of Knights soon, Which is fostering a splendid spirit between the different colleges. The Knights are truly carrying out the principles of the Knights of the Round Table, from Which their name is procured. An underclassman can only become a member of this splendid organization by rendering service to San Jose State. The nomi- nal head of the Knights is always the yell leader of the Student Body. The honorary officers are the Nlenis Club President and Dean of Men. The thcers for the spring semester are: Duke .....................................................

Closely allied 'with initiative is self-assertion, without which we eial abilities and aptitudes might forever be dormant and undiscovered. Accompanying initiative is the ambition to succeed in a given task, to aspire to the highest, the quality of being dissatisfied with all that which has been accomplished. Initiative has provided numerous Opportuni- ties for its expression in every branch of Col- lege Activity. Raymond IV. Barry Elmo Stevenson Webatb San Jose State College is a member of the Central California Intercollegiate debating league, composed of the following e01- leges: San Jose State, Fresno State, College of the Pacific, San IWateo Junior College, hlodesto Junior College, Santa Rosa Junior College, and Bakersheld Junior College. This league was organized in the fall of 1924-. During the 1924-1925 season, San Jose State finished second in the league, Fresno State Win- ning first place. L. In the fall of 1925 the league was divided. One-half was composed of the three four-year colleges, and the Other half was made up Of the four two-year junior colleges. It was decided that each of these two divisions should first debate for a Winner of the divisions, and later should send the Winners of each group Marie Camp Larry Campbell Georgiamza Kenniston Harold Ouimet to compete for the final championship. In this way the competi- tion was more even, being between colleges of the same type, but each was given an opportunity to compete With a larger school and an equal Chance at the Championship. San Jose State College held its hrst debate in the division of the four-year college on December 18, 1925. The question for this debate was, hResolved, that a department of national defense be formed With separate sub-departments for land, air, and naval defense?3 I The aHirmative team, composed of Maree Camp and Larry Campbell, defeated the Fresno State team here in a lively debate by a 3-0 decision. At the same Oleta Brewington and Charles Greenleaf lost to the College of the Pacific in a contest there, 3-0. On the same night the College of the Pacific lost to Fresno by a 2-1 decision. Charles Greenleaf Oleta Brewingtan Charles Greenleaf . Larry Campbell Due to the forfeiture of the final debate by Santa Rosa, the Championship was awarded to San Jose. San Jose State Teachers College debaters for the first time faced the varsity team from Stanford in college assembly9 Feb- ruary Z. The question for discussion at this time was, iiResolved, that young Amerieais assertion of freedom of thought and action is detrimental to society? San Jose was represented by Georgianna Kennison and Harold Ouimet. Despite their able presentation of the aHirmative side of the case and their excellent work in rebuttal, the more experi- enced and polished. Stanford debaters won by a 2-1 decision. Though San Jose was defeated, the debate was hard-fought be- fore a packed assembly, and was welcomed not only for the inter- est it caused, but because the debate undoubtedly paved the way for future competition With Stanford. Thus at the close of the first debate the College of the Pacific led San Jose State and Fresno by the vote of one judge in the race for the championship. Caroline 1111735 Elmo Stevenson The second debate was held. lVIareh 19, 1926. The subject for contention this time was, 11Resolved, that all evaluation of work done in college classes he passed and failed. After keen competition the teams for this debate were Chosen. Caroline Miles and Elmo Stevenson, veteran San Jose debaters, journeyed to Fresno, Where they were Victorious by a 2-1 decision. Larry Campbell and Charles Greenleaf met the College of the Pacific on the home campus and defeated them, also by a 2-1 vote 01 the judges. By winning these two debates, San Jose State was placed in the lead for the championship, having only to face the Santa Rosa. Junior College, the Winner of the junior section of the conference in the contest for the state cup. Music activities Through its organizations the music de- partment has been very active this year. Bel Canto Club and the San Jose State Glee Club have sung on many occasions, and the band, organized recently, is in constant de- mand. for athletic events. The orchestra, directed by Mr. Towner, although an organization of long standing, is still growing rapidly. Its library 0f. 0r- Chestrations is greatly increased over that of past seasons. The string quartet, consisting of Clarence Dorsett, Violinist; Leon Jenk- ins, Violinist; Esther Talbot, violist; and Muriel Watson, Violoncellist, are becoming known throughout San Jose. The ambitious music group, though disbanded, has con- tinued its custom of presenting a series of concerts every season. 5cm ?ose Musical cAssociation During the course of the year, the stu- dents have had the opportunity of hearing six concerts of the San Jose Musical As- sociation. On the program this year were Maier and Patterson, pianists; Vineente Ballester, baritone; Cyrena Van Gordon, mezzo-soprano; Cecilia Hansen, Violin- ist; the San Francisco Symphony Orches- tra directed by EVIL Hertz; and hThe Niarriage of Figaro? a famous opera. A similar program Will be given next yeah Maier and Patterson gave a concert on two pianos. They have probably the greatest feeling for orches- tral effects of any pianists Who have been here. The program was excellent. San :fose Wusical Mssociation Miss Van Gordon, mezzo-SOprano, dis- played a rich, lovely voice, but her choice of songs was not exceptional. The San Francisco Symphony Orches- tra is always a favorite attraction. Their program contained nothing of a heavy nature and consisted of compositions that would appeal to the general public. San Jose is indeed fortunate in having such an excellent orchestra with as able a con- ductor as Mr. Hertz near by. iiThe Briarriage 0f Figarojy is a comic opera of Mozart, a sequel to the iiBarber of Seville? It was performed by a com- pany of William Henshaw singers. With some duplication of parts, a comparatively small cast was used. The women in par- ticular had voices of beautiful lyric quality. Mr. Ballester, a baritone, 0f the he'letropolitan Opera Com- pany performed a very dramatic program. His whole bearing, the gestures, and the type of song in which he was at his best showed that he is essentially an operatic singer. The DanceiDmma ' As a dance-drama, With music through- out and Without lines, ttThe Nightingale and the Rosef, presented by the State Teachers College as its part in the Fiesta de las Rosas held in San Jose, May 20, 21, and 22, was an outstandingly beautiful musical event of the year. Orchestral music accomp anied the drama, provided by the musical depart- ment of the college under the direction of Mr. Towner, the head of the department. Solo and group dances directed by Miss Rich and Miss Lombard made up a large part of the action. Serenades sung by three Moorish princes to their princesses were the main vocal solos. Practice for the drama had occupied most of the spring semes- ter in all of the physical activity classes of the college, Where the dances were practiced. Music An unique feature of the musical season was the series of educational recitals given by the music department under the direction of NIiss h'Iary Lichthardt, instructor of piano, and bliss Alma L. Williams, in- structor of voice. Departing from the usual program of the formal recital, students enrolled in the ad- vanced piano class presented three Bee- thoven sonatas that had been prepared as a part of the regular class work. The sonatas were prefaced with brief explanatory notes Which enabled the listeners to follow impor- tant themes. In addition, the students played compositions by modern composers. These were prepared also as Class assign- ments. Students from the advanced voice Classes presented numbers Which included folk songs, art songs and $0103 from opera. These gave pleasing variety to the programs and added greatly to the general success of the recitals. Music rRecitals Next season a series of recitals, both formal and informal, Will be offered for the pleasure of the student body and the musical pubhe. The first recital of tTThe Sonata Series,3 was presented by Rhea Du Cavic, pianist, and Celine Combatalade, soprano, in the Morris Dailey blemorial Auditorium, Jan- uary 28, 1926. The second was presented by Agnes OTNeil, pianist, and Anita Amiek7 soprano, TVIarCh 5, 1926. The third, and concluding recital of the series was given May 27, 1926, by Virginia Lamb, pianist, and Gertrude Withrew, soprano. Each program included an Opening Sonata from one of BeethovenTs Operas, followed by compositions from modern composers. rDramatics The hrst major performance of the school year was ttYou and If given in the fall by the San Jose Players. The play is by J 1V1. Barry, and although it is a mod- ern comedy, there is a deep undercurrent of pathos running through it. Evelyn Dangberg played the role of the mother and Ralph Wells was the father. Their interpretations were real- istic and true to life. The freshmen had a splendid oppor- tunity to show the upper Classmen just what they could do. Jeanette Owens and James Chesnutt made a splendid hlover and his lassT, as Rickie and Ronnie. Elwyn Bell played the part of a Charming sophis- ticated writer, a man of the world, and was a marked success. you and 7 Violet Steele was delightful as Etta, the maid. Willard Maas as the typical business man made a creditable first ap- pearance with the Players. The play was directed by Miss Viola Mae Powell, the San Jose Players7 coach. bbfonflicting Soul? Probably the most unique performance of the year was the Greek play, ttCon- Hicting Soulsf7 written by one of the col- lege students, Charles Vogelin, which was produced by the Music History Class. Although it was not a hnished production, it was well done for a first dramatic attempt. Abraham Seegal was the outstanding actor in the play. Christmas T ays Among Other dramatic events of the year there are several productions which deserve special mention. The first of these was a play, hThe First Christmas Treef, As the name suggests, this was a Christmas play and was given by the English Club. i The second play was the Christmas masque, ttThe Evergreen Treef, This was an excellent preduetion, with a large east. Special mention should be made of the interesting lighting effects used. The Players were aided in the presentation of the masque by the Bel Canto Club, which sang carols between acts and did much to place the audience in a htting atmosphere as they en- tered the auditorium. They wore choir vestments and carried lighted candles. At the Close of each of the two performances a silver offering was taken, the proceeds of which were given to the Community Chest. Miss Powell directed the production. fDancefDrama hThe Nightingale and the Rose;7 a dancerdrama written and directed by Miss Sarah Rich, bliss Viola Powell, and bliss Maude Lombard, has an important place in the years dramatic activities as the major event in the participation of the State Teachers College in the Fiesta de las Rosas, given by the city of San Jose. It is based upon Oscar Wilde,s story, ttThe Nightin- gale and the Rose? and the old story, ttThe Rose of the Alham- bra? and is divided into three episodes. All the dramatic interpretation was carried out Without lines, to music. Every ments and women2s Physical Education Class in the college had a part in the dances. The costumes were planned by the Homemaking Department, the staging was managed by Mr. Allerfs Stagecraft Class, and other parts of the production were handled by various departments of the college, each having a definite work. The drama was presented May 21 and 22, in the evening, on the lawns before the campus. Monsieur EBeauCaiTe There is something fascinat- ing in transplanting, by means of convincing portrayal and scenic effects, the romantic at- mosphere 0f the time of bright swords, sprightly Wit, pow- dered Wigs, satins, and r0- manee. It is a very difEeult thing to do, and that an ama- teur organization produced itMonsieur Beaucairei, as cred- itably as it did is provocative of Optimism and praise. This drama, based on Booth Tarkingtonh story, was presented by the San Jose Players as their annual spring production. Page Nourse, as Beaucaire, held at all times the brightly tinged illu- sion of his past; Beaueaire, the French gambler, the gallant lover, the peerless swordsman, the wit. Mansiem iBeaueaiTe Veronica Keegan, as Lady Malbourne, was one Of the out- standing Characters of the play. She made much of her part by her skilful interpretation of the role. Elwyn Bell, Duke of VVinterset, gave to the por- trayal 0f the Villain a marked sincerity. Beau Nash, the dandy of Bath, the ultimate and unerring judge of good form in dress and action, was made alive again by Ralph Wells. Others in the cast were: Evelyn Chapman, Agnes Newman, Frances Greenleaf, Nlartin Pihl, Thomas Topp, William Mette, Ernest Talbert, Ellard Truscott, Oscar Reschke, Wesley Har- mon, Fred Allen, Willard Tollman, Florence Williams, Ruth Breckenridge, Richard Coulter, Charles Greenleaf, Edward Ehorn. KIQI 019 Wit d Garw That ttROllohs Wild Oath was one of the most entertaining plays given during the college year was demonstrated by the large crowds Which attended the June Class play on both evenings of its presen- tation. The audiences greatly appreciated Bob Rhodes as the impulsive R0110, an up- and-eoming young playwright Who hrmly believed in the modern drama. Doris Wagner played the role opposite as Goldie DlacDuff, a thoroughly ador- able young actress Who won the heart of ambitious R0110. Miss Wagner did some exceedingly fine work as the charming ingenue. Violet Steele as Lydia, Rollots sister, added much to her previous record as an actress. Also When it is added that Veron- ica Keegan played Mrs. Park-Gale, and that Aarian Cakebread, Homer Cleary, Harvey eMiller, Ed Mitchell, George Lucas, Paul Thomas, Helen Campen, and Ernest Crook were the Other mem- bers of the cast, nothing further in praise of a very creditable performance need be added. Miss Viola IWae Powell directed the producdon. A modern comedy written by Clare Kummer, ttRollds Wild Oath is the drama of. a young man Whose life ambition centers about Hamlet and Whose aim is to play the role With modern interpretation. The cast was chosen from members of the June, August, and February classes, by a committee composed of Miss Viola Powell, Dr. Raymond Barry, and. Professor Lee Newby.

GWCENS CCATHLETICS PORTSMANSHIP, that, high quality toward Which all strive, is gained only after long eX- penditure of tireless patience and practice in the seeking for supremacy in the game itself. Then, When the athlete has risen to the height of his powers and casts aside the quest for personal honors for the success of the team, then he has learned the first lesson of sportsmanship. The Spartan youth ever put his city above himself; he ever placed the welfare of his comrade before his own health and even life. The athlete is not called upon to cast down his life for his teammate, but he, as an integral part of the team, must pull With his mates. And often the lesson learned on the field of play comes forth in the battles of life. Still further, a value of the game must he stressed. .Not only for the success of his team, but for success of the game, should he 7 work. Help the other fellow ethat is the true mean- ing of Sportsmanship. Paul P0nch0,, Thomp- son capped a brilliant athletic career by captain- ing the 1925 grid team. Thompson was a fighting leader, buostin g the Golden eleven throughout the long, hard season. CIfootball OOTBALL for 1925 started off rather auspi- ciously when forty men showed up for train- ing after the hrst call for candidates. Pros- pects pointed to a return of power on the gridiron, but the competition of the other colleges was also much stronger than in the past. Statels team was a great improvement over the eleven of recent years, but the caliber of the opposing squads went up, too. Perhaps one of the best omens for success- ful local grid teams was noted when frve freshmen and two new men trotted on the held to play the first game of the season for San Jose State. Captain Thompson, Regli Carlyon and Edwards were the only remaining veterans in the opening line up. In fact, thirteen frosh were earned on the team throughout the season, and all of those men were listed as regular players. In the opening games of the season Coach Knollin had a difli- cult time placing h1s men for the major part new to the game. But by the end of the schedule the Spartans had worked 1nto the! team play. San Lu1s Obispo lost to State 1n the next to last game by two touchdowns, and Sacramento Junior College, one of the leading contenders for the conference title, was held to a 13-7 score. Harry Lawless, Half . Jess Regli, End Klubrey Larws, End Alton Scott, Guard To start off. the season, the Golden squad put over a 21-0 win against Santa Rosa Junior College. Both squads were over- anxious and showed plainly a lack of seasoning. Frequent fumblesmarred the game and spoiled San Josets chances to run up a larger score. By good hard fighting the Blue Devils were able to bring the pigskin down to the ftfteen-yard line, but there the Spartans held. Modesto scored a field goal. Twice San Jose held on the one- yard line and took the ball out of danger. The game was prac- tically even Stephen until'the last quarter, when Modesto put two touchdowns over in the last few minutes of play. Carlyon and Dick Oliver played fme games. Joseph Brorwn, Guard ' Kenny Edwards, Quarter Edwin Mitchell, End Richard White, Center Fresno started off with a bang and scored the initial touch- down of the game in live minutes. A fast shift fooled the San Jose boys badly. In the same quarter, the Bulldogs picked up two paints on a safety. The Reds made another touchdown at the opening of the second session, but Regli proceeded to do his bit followingThompsonk run. He got the ball 011 a punt for- mation and ran 80 yards to the goal line. Fresno got its last t touchdown to make 23-7 tally in the last quarter. Meeting the Chico Wildcat was far from fun for the State men, as the league champs tore through the local line at Will. The rival backs went Wild for a 53-0 score. San Jose made six first downs to the twenty-one for Chico. Line bucks tore holes Elmer Lear, End Gregory Malzalaian, Hdlflr Art. Carmichael, Guard Laverne Brocwn, Guard in the San Jose forwards, but at half time things did not look so dim due to the completion of local passes. For three quarters the San hiateo eleven did everything but throw the water bucket at State. Touchdowns were tallied up right and left. In the first session three goals were made, in the second two, but by then the Spartans had shaken out of their lethargy and made a hght out of it. -A garrison finish ended up the game for State, When the San Jose men put over two touch- downs in quick order. Open held running was the order of the day When the San Jose team trounced the San Luis Obispo Polytechnic squad. Harold Ha-toley, End Dick Oliwer, Line Tiny Carlyon, Line Poly tallied first, a directwresult offline bucks. Shortly after, Minshall turned in a spectacular run from the 35-yard line to touchdown, with the assistance of some good interference. Neither team was able to do much in the next period. In the ensuing session the Golden team proceeded to open up the game. A pass, a line buck, and then Thompson picked a short pass and scampered thirty-five yards to score. San Luis got two points on a safety, but State started a march down the field soon after. Flurry of passing marked the end of the game. State had won the second game of the season. Turkey Day was marked by the Sacramento game and a noble contest of football. The Senators were highly touted to win the game, and easily. However, the San Jose gang uneorked some reserve strength and but for an intercepted pass would have won the game. Third qUarter saw the Spartans score on a 45-yard pass-V0dden t0 Thompson. Another long pass was incom- plete on a Close play and the locals had to be content with the shortend after their desperate attempt to put over the winning touchdown. Thompson, Lawless, and Mitchell are lost to the 1926 eleven-atwo backs and an end. ,x LamAA .-v A V.$h.h Lil AAAAM 4A AU MW A x X Clarence Pinkie,, Burrell ended his steady suc- cesses 0n the basketball court for State by leading his team in a season replete With upsets. Captain Burrell proved to be a handy player at center. EBaSketball FTER starting out fast, the Spartanhcage flve slowed up in the final games of the conference series and succumbed in the race. Of the twenty games played, eleven were won by the wearers 0f the Gold and White. State ran up against some good competition the last basket season, and that, coupled with the injuries, played, a large factor in determining the success of the five. Out of the tenta- tive hrst string Chosen at the outset of the schedule, rive men were lost, due to outside reasons; injuries took a few, others transferred, and some dropped out. Freshmen played a majority of the last few games. Campbell High came first on the program, and the P. A. L. runners-up' were squelehed 20-11 in a fast practice game. Two or three teams showed their wares for the Spartan crowd, and out of the bunch Johnnie Minshall was the king-pin. Mitchell and Hawley showed up well also. Stanfordts cagemen were a little too much for the State quin- tet. However, the score of 1849 does not amply tell of the close- ness of the contest. Very few held goals were scored; in fact, of the ten points made by the two teams, siX were gained by foul throws. Both squads were goodron the defense, and the teams were equally weak on offense. Jess Regli, Forward Harold Harwley, Forrward Harry Lawless, Forward Wilbur Hubbard, Guard 3 Oregon U, Which later turned outto bethe Northwest champs, engagedState next, and took away a 24-6 Victory. 2. Oregon put z a well-Conditioned and fast team on the hoor. ? Santa Barbara sent up a hrst-rate team, Which showed some i; Classy play in the initial game of the series, in Which the Spartans ' had a diHicult- time in Winning 28-26. The score at half time was ; I 10-8 against the San Jose flve. The second encounter was a horse of a different color, and State ran rings around the Visitors by 26-10. In the first half of the game, the team showed clever team-play. Gerald Taylor, Center Edwin .Mz'tclzell, Guard :g'g' Gregory Mahakian, Forward Laverne Brown, Guard With Hawley out of both contests, the Fresno State quintet proved to be too much for the local outfit. Fresno later won the ,. Far Western conference title. The first game was lost by a 32-11 I score, and the second went the same way, 24-14. San Jose got off to a fast start, but the Bulldogs soon made up for the advan- tage the locals gained. Robinson and 1Wahakian were also on the sick list for the series. Fresno was too Clever with Wilhelm- son, Telonieher and Burr. , Following thevFresno series, the Spartan bucket crew pulled : a big surprise by snowing the Modesto Blue Devils under a 25-14 William Robinson, Center James Beatty, Forward Joseph Amori, Guard fldam Vagts, Forward tally. San Jose outplayed the valley squad throughout and took a commanding lead in the conference race. Burrell With 11 was high point man. An even split marked the San Mateo games, one of Which was played before the new semester. Poor reefing ruined the game, and rough play marked the entire contest, Which went to San Mateo J. C., 29-26. The Spartans got their revenge With a 25-14 Win later in the season, With Regli paving the way With 12 mark- ers. It was a close game all the way through. Aubrey Laws, Guard Shirley Trone Arcata Firemen and Humboldt State Teachers7 College both bowed to State on their annual Northern trip. The Teachers took the count, 24-11, When the locals finished strong. Arcata ' led until the last'minute, 16-13, but Regli sunk two Winning baskets. State continued its Winning streak and took the next four games easily. Santa Rosa put up a fast battle, but lost out 32-20 in a snappy game. The opposing attack was centered around two men, Blodgett and Guteher, Whoxtallied 12 points. Quick play proved too much for the Santa Rosa guards on San Jose15 court In a Wild and wooly game the Sacramento Senators, another crack conference aggregation, lost out 24-14. Burrell, Regli, and Lawless worked machine-like in the hrst half and ran rough- shod over the Capitol team. After their temporary demeraliza- tion, the Visitors came back and played good ball. San Luis failed to show anything in the way of a basketball team in its tWO-game series at San Jose, and lost out 20-15 and 32-12. Both contests were mediocre, and the State team failed to play up to the strength shown in earlier games. Trone was the high-light of the San Jose play, scoring ten points in the serres. V Modesto, making its spurt to Win the Tri-C conference title, swamped the San Jose quintet in the return on the Blue Devil court by a 47-20 tally. Lee and Olson each scored nine buckets for Modesto. Staleness hit the local team, and Santa Rosa took the fmal game at Santa Rosa by one point 29-28. San Jose was in the lead 16-12 at half, but the opposing spurt won out in the final minutes. ' Chico State, coming up from behind, found the slackening Spartan team easy meat, and copped both ends of the double- header in Corning. Coach Cakebread used a number of fresh- men in the Chico games. Modesto and Chico hooked up in the title series, Which the former won. Of the regulars 0n the squad, only three Will be missing from the starting of next season. Lawless, Burrell, and Mitchell, veterans of three years,wi11 be gone. Hawley is 1926-27 captain. Harold Ha i Hawley, a star in nearly every phase of sport, a high hurdler 0f cham- pionship caliber, captained the undefeated track team of 1926. Hawley occupies a niche in the Hall of Fame of Sparta. 567de TARTING the season with but five men from the 1925 Championship! squad, the Golden track team went through the year without a single defeat, scoring seven wins while en route to the title of the states secondary C01- leges, which it may now rightly Claim. Two Of the wins scored were in conference meets, in which nine and siX schools took part, respect- ively. The season began with all hopes high. An inHux of new material had boosted the stock of the Spartans, and every one Of the new men came through in splendid fashion. Fourteen new men were added to the squad, half of whom had never competed for any team on the track. To put the ball rolling, the Spartan team made the trip to Santa Barbara and came home with the cup and the title as winner of the invitational, which took in teams from the southern part of the state. Jess Regli was the individual high point win- ner with his usual 15 markers. The meet was in doubt until the last event, the relay. State was far behind until the last three events. The athletes made a garrison finish, coming from the ruck with a rush, passed the Santa Barbara men, and by a sterling race in the relay, won the meet. The latter took second with 31115, while San Jose had 35. Santa Ana J. C. trailed in third with Z4V2 ; Cal. Christian had. 17; Pasadena J. C., 14; La Verne, K. Edwards Mitchell, P.' V.-L. H. Lawless, L. H.-B. J. Regli, Sprints, Weights Yealeer, Sprints, B. J. a member of the Southern California Conference, 14; and Ven- tura, 4. Sparkes set a new javelin record; Regli, a new discus mark; and the relay team of Robinson, Sparkes, Hubbard, and Regli, a new record of 3 :3 . State then started the long string of dual Victories by trouncing the St. Marys aggregation, 79E16-4ZV2. Regli starred again by taking the dashes, discus, and shot. The St. Marys team pulled a surprise by winning the relay. Bettencourt of the Saints took their only other hrst p1ace,--in the javelin Awith a throw of 179 feet. V Fresno came to San Jose with a highly touted team, only to bow to the Spartans by a 71-51 score. Fresno, however, pro- Herrmamz, S. P., Discus Taylor, S. P., D. Javelin Sparlws, 880 Jarvelin Reed, Mile Vided the best competition to the full State team of the year, taking six first places. Hubbard turned in a nice quarter mile in 52:4,Whi1e Regli copped the furlong in 23. San Josets second and third place men tallied up the points for the locals. Stark pulled a surprise by beating his team-mate Amori in the mile. San Jose seemed weak in the field against the Red and Blue. Cakebreadk proteges had a hard weeks work following on a Thursday With a meet against San Mateo, Which a weakened team won 76-46. The meet was featured by the win of Hubbard in the 220, 23:2. Neither Regli nor Sparkes competed in the races, due to sore muscles. Hawley showed his versatility by Adams, 440 Hubbard, 220, 440 1 s m Amori, Mile x Stark, JMi'le taking three first places, in high hurdles, broad jump, and shot. Hubbard also won the 440 With a time of 55 seconds. Regner of San Mateo won the mile in 4:57 for the comparatively best time Of the meet. Sacramento Junior College came to San Jose on the Saturday to take the worst beating handed out by the Gold and White tracksters during the season. The Spartans ran Wild and tallied up 102 to the Capitol boys 20. Regli had a great time, taking five firsts, two in the dashes, discus, shotput, and low hurdles. The latter event was the surprise of the day. Regli had yet to make his first hight over the timbers, and he trimmed Lawless and Mitchell in the fast time of 26:8. Hubbard placed second McKee, B. J., High Jump .McDonald, 880 . Miller, P. K, Javelin in both sprints, besides Winning the four-forty in 54:4. Sparkes turned in a 2205 half mile, VVlth Robinson, Sacramento, WhO had won the mile previously in 4:50, second, and McDonald, third. Robinson defeated Weems in the high jump at 5 feet 8 inches. lVlodesto Without their Crack sprinter, Doe, offered little com- petition to the Gold tracksters. And the San Jose einderpath artists surely made up for the defeat of the previous year. The final score read 83Vg-38V2. NOVO copped the mile in 4:49, the fastest time on the San Jose track for the year; Stark was second. White won the shotput at 41 feet 3 inches, and Busano uncorked a sprint to beat Hubbard in 52:4. Outside of that, events went their usual way, nearly all to San Jose. Lawless had a hard race in the lOW hurdles, losing his shoe half way in the race. He finished to Win, 27 flat. To finish the season up right, the Spartan oval team walked away With the Tri-C title, taking 57 to Chieols, the runner-up, 44. lWodesto trailed in third With 343; San Mateo, ll; and Sacra- mento and Santa Rosa took 4 each. Regli tied his own hundred record 0f 10 flat. Hubbard upset the dope to beat Busano in 53. Stark took a fourth in the 4:37 one mile, won by Breakbill. Sparkes won by inches from the Chico star, Breakbill, in 2:03. Lawless, Miller and McDonald are the only men lost to the squad for the coming year. Homer Cleary, after being shifted from his regular place in the infield, settled down to prov- ing the kind of a ball-player he was by playing a Whale of a game behind the baseball 10g. EBanJall 8 far as averages in games won-and-lost go, the 1926 nine connected in not such an overwhelming manner. Five con- tests went to the opposing contingents. Two of the losses went by a large margin, one was quite close, and the other two were lost by one run. A small practice squad was on hand at the beginning of the season; the 1925 infield was shot, seeminglyvpast repair, but the batteries were intact. Cabot and Johnson, who did good work in the previous campaigning, showed up for the hurling jobs, and things looked rather bright. But the job of shifting players to fill in the vacant spots proved too hard a job. With little practice, and not a game behind them, the diamond team journeyed to Sacramento, to lose to the Capitol City boys 16-6. Joe Brown was the hitting star of the day, collecting three swats out of like number of times at bat. Cabot and Johnson did the twirling. The latter struck out siX men, but the home side collected a matter of 21 hits, which, combined with seven errors, made things look bad. San Jose men made a total of 17 bingles in the swatfest. The game was played early in the season, on March 27. On the following week, a rejuvenated nine met the Humboldt State College team in the first of a two-game series. Another hard-hitting contest ensued, with the Spartans touching up the R. Thompson, Third Base C. Ferrell, First Base R. Cabot, Pitcher L. Johnson, Pitclzer Arcata pitcher for 13 hits, but the latter,s teammates, not to be squelched, banged out fourteen off the offerings of Cabot and Johnson. TWO home runs showed in the Arcata summary. Humboldt took the second game in another free-hitting contest by a one-run margin, 11-10. Again the Spartans were outhit, 13 to 11. Humboldt got busy in the first inning and touched Cabot for a marker. State came back in, the second to tie the count. The third went scoreless. The Visitors made one in the fourth, but San Jose came back in the flfth to even up the tally once more. Knollirfs men failed to put any across the rubber in J. AlcCurdy, Field P. Whitaker, Shortstop S. Trone, Field G. Evans, Field the sixth, but Humboldt let loose their war-clubs and staked their hurler to a five-run lead. San Jose got busy in the eighth and began an uphill climb; four runs were chalked down. Hum- boldt made it read 8-6, still their favor, but in the beginning of the ninth, With two down, the Spartans put the score up to 10-8. Humboldt came back strong and put the game on ice With three runs in their half of the last set-to. Carmichael hinged a home run in the second With the bases empty. iWodesto next encountered the Spartan horde and lost 11-6 in a fast game. Johnson struck out seven men, but allowed twelve R.

SiX errors were made by the San Jose team. Cleary was the swat king of the day with four out of five, one a double. The fifth was a merry inning for the locals when they crossed the plate seven times. Nlodesto nicked it for four in the next inning, but San Jose held the lead behind Lefty,s heaving. The Kiwanis team bowed to the San Jose club in a seven- inning game at Backesto Park by a ten to eight score. The score was three to nothing when the Kiwanis went to bat in their half of the third, and before the side was out the opposing firemen had siX tallies chalked. State came back with three in the fourth to even matters, and collected two in each of the remaining in- nings. Johnson twirled the game. Thomas and Thompson each made homers. San Luis Polytechnic had their hands full for nine innings, but won the game with three runs, in the seventh. The score was 7-6. Lee, who pitched for the San Luis outfit, was later signed by the Chicago White SOX. Lee allowed twelve hits to Johnsonk eight; but fanned fifteen of the San Jose nine. San Luis scored twice on two hits in the hrst, but went without until the seventh. Between that time San Jose pounded Lee for four runs, one in the second and three in the seventh. San Jose blew up in the eighth and made six errors. N0 pitcher could have got by with that support, and at that Lefty Johnson allowed but two hits in the inning. Four tallies were put over, the winning markers of the contest. Thompson cracked a homer. Chico trounced the Spartans in the first game, 17-3, making twenty-one hits, and helped out by eleven errors on the part Of the local supporting cast. The second game was not quite so bad, as the Spartans made a fight of it. Cabot struck out siX Chico players, while Chaney of Chico accounted for eleven San Jose batsmen. For siX innings the San Jose contingent went scoreless, while Chico proceeded to turn hits into runs, for a total of three. VVauhab singled and advanced around the bags on errors. Chico put over two more. Evans scored in the next round, and Thomp- son horned in the last scoring phase. Chico also collected another tally in their half Of the ninth. This ended up the season with a record of Ewe 10st and three won. Weak hitting was not responsible fer the loss of games, as the Spartans connected for an average of .283, fair for college teams. But it was weak helding that can be blamed. The team failed to go through a game with less than five errors, and the total mounted to as high as eleven in two cases. Fifty-four errors were made in the seasorfs campaigning. Thompson led the slug- gers with .382; Carmichael hit .375; VVauhab banged out the pill for .361; Brown batted .333. The two pitchers completed the Charmed Circle list with Johnson batting .320 and Cabot .300. Whitaker .285, Cleary .270, Sutton .222, and Evans .200 com- pleted the hitting list. Trone, Thomas, MCCurgiy, and Farrell failed to hit .200. : Coach Knollin experimented continually with the men until they found their right positions. Thompson, a former catcher, held down the torrid corner, and Thomas, who bore the duty with the former last year, found himself in the field. Cleary was brought in from the infield and put behind the log, where he proved to be a star. Inlielders and outhelders Changed jobs a few times. Out of the 1925 squad, nine were missing at the outset of the season. Lawless, acclaimed the best keystone guard in the con- v ference, went out for track, and VVarrenburg elected to play pro- fessional ball. Sawyer and Edwards, two good men, were also lost RAY KENDALL Ray Kendall followed up the good work of Lisle Norman, his predecessor, by acting in the capacity of both coach and captain. Rays play- ing featured the entire soccer season of 1926. He was a real worker. Soccer TARTING the season with a team made up of green men, the soccer eleven came through with unexpected wins and by the end of the year had a bunch of hghting players. 'The open- ingb ame showed a sad lack of practice and experi- ence; the second game showed a much better de- fense. And by the middle of theschedule the Spartans were giving the league leaders their hard- est battles. T0 Captain Ray Kendall, who led the team, goes the credit for developing of men who had never seen a soccer game let alone played in a varsity contest. Kendall followed 1n the steps of Lisle Norman his predecessor well and put out a real squad. For a final mark the San Jose State team had three wins chalked up for them and seven losses. In the second game, the P2110 Alto AmeriCan Legion bowed to State in the feature of the year. Two hard-fought games were played, against the San Jose Sons of St. George and the San Mateo Sons, who after- wards won the league championship In fact, the local team gave these two squads their hardest battles. Both Half Moon Bay games were lost by large scores, but these were the only ones in the league in which the margin of Victory was over a single goal. In the first game, an extremely weak team was on the held. The Coast eleven trounced the State team badly. The George Evans, Hdlf Harold Hyde, Full Kenneth Knight, Center Half jMal Xavier, Ha'lf second contest was much of the same result. However, at half time, San Jose had a goal lead on the Half Moon Bay team. But by the end of the fracas, a 6-1 total had been run up. An intense week of practice brought experience and confidence of team-play t0 the new men. The Palo Alto American Legion, winners of the league the previous season, was defeated by a 1-0 tally. Kendall put the leather through the posts and the rest of the outfit, backed up against the goal in the hnal rush of the Legion, fought to win. State was the sensation of the Peninsula league following this comeback after the Half Moon disaster. Harry Morgan took the goalie position in this game and held it for the rest of the season. iMorgan is given credit for being the best goalie 0f the league. Next in line came the San Mateo Sons of St. George, who were making a spurt t0 the top of the league. Playing on a rough field and against experienced men, State could hardly cope with the northern outfit. The San Mateo team was fast and Clever. Regardless of this, the college came very near upsetting the club eleven. Final score read 5-3 with San hdateo 0n the long end, but the game was the closest of the season up to that time. Morgan again did stellar duty atgoal,whi1e Grimmer starred on the offense. , Haif Moon won their second game. Then came the battle of the season. By this time the team had rounded into form with some passwork, but they struck a snag when they met the San Harvey Miller, lVing Clyde McDonald, Inside Nlateo Sons in a return game. The college eleven sunk the first goal when Taormini put the ball past the Son goalie from KendalPs neat pass. San hdateo was not due to go down without a hght and kept the pigskin under hdorgan s nose. F1na11 y they got their chance when Morgan was caught off- guard after a poor kick by one of the local fullbacks. The half ended even up at 1-1. State weakened pereeptibly at the opening of the second half and San NIateo made two goals in quick succession From then on the game was a11 San Jose. Spartans played like mad to even up the long odds and rushed the San Mateo men hard and fiercely at every play, until. Amori came through with a nice shot to make the scoreboard read 3-2. Bob szodes, Imide josepfz zfmorz', Wing State took the last two games of the season against the San hiateo DeMolay. The first contest ended up 2-1 after a tie score at the half time. Charles Grimmer was the big gun in the initial contest. Ragged play marked the first half, but in the last five minutes the college rushed the second geal by following a mad scramble in front of the goal. Taormini scored the point. The last game of the season saw the San Jose aggregation playing good ball. By displaying a crack brand of soccer, two goals were scored. Effective defense in the second half held the DeMolay team scoreless. Grimmer was elected 1926 leader. tZQJOMEIXVS QTHLETICS THLETICS for All-eis the watchword 0f the physical department of the women. In its work toward this end, every girl in the school par- ticipates in some phase of sports. Values of group interest make the field of womenvs athletics an interesting and Vital part Of the scholastic life. Group spirit-community welfare is typified throughout all contests. Leaders are made, every woman has a chance in the game. Ever the spirit of the game is brought out. To this an ever- ready group of women owe success. The Spartan woman was the counterpart of her Spartan brother won the alert for the work of the majority9 watching to help the men of the city. So are the women of the col- lege active, ready, Willing to aid when needed. iBOLSketball ARRYING out the program outlined for womenls athletics, the local department started the season of womenls basket- ball as in Other sports along the same lines. Teams were picked in the intra-mural divisions and the title play was con- tinued. After a long schedule, the team captained by Lillian Ross captured the Championship due to superior all-round team-play. Ross was used at touch center, with Southwick and Worrall, side-centers; Nelson, Kirkland, and lVlarschk acted as forwards, alternating, and. the defense was composed of Fraeger and lVlazetta. Sylvia Brierls sextette, composed of all stellar players, won out for the leadership of the sports classes, composed of all those women interested in athletics. The line-up of the titular squad was: Sylvia Brier, forward; Aurelia Brown, touch center; Grace Baker, side center; Gwendolyn Thomas, guard; Bernice Gra- ham, forward; Lucille Carlyon, guard; and Alice Bradeen, guard. The SlX captained by Rowe were runners-up for the sports title. By copping the sports class championship, the above girls were lucky enough to lind that a turkey dinner awaited their efforts. In the intra-mural games, approximately one hundred and seventy games were played off. With about nine to ten girls on a side, the entire number of those interested in the cage sport were able to participate throughout the season on the various teams. The freshmen class squad only after a desperate fight in the final contest was able to win the inter-class banner from the sophomore sextette. Splendid teamwork was displayed by the aggregation and only due to the efforts of the forwards, guards, and centers did they win out. The junior squad wound up the season in third position, with the seniors last. The third year women were able to win one game in the struggle for supremacy of the Classes, while the runner-up lost but one. At the start of the season, the college first, second, and third teams won two sets of basketball engagements against the San Jose High School teams. On the freshman team were: Comforti, Lumsden, and Snure, forwards; Percy, Hoenck, and Saph, centers; and Listen, Rowe, and Aubrey, guards. The sophomores were represented by Brown, captain; G. Hoenek, Brier, hiiller, Delbon, and Lynn; while the juniors were NIoore, captain; Smith, McMillan, Arnerieh, W001, hliller, and Graham. After close weighing of the merits of the women players, the coaches flnally picked for an All-Star team: Forwards: Harriet Ruhl and Grace Lumsden. Guards: Georgianna Hoenek, and Iva Liston. Centers: Aurelia Brown and Miriam Lynn. Honorable mention was given to Margaret Hoenek, center; Geraldine Delbon, forward; and Lucille Moore, guard. Wackey CwITI-I a start at the first of the year in hockey, the elevens began regular play soon after. Hockey is a compara- tively new sport for women. A few years ago, hockey was un- heard of as a sport on the woments athletic program, but has gained great impetus and is now being played all over the coun- try in the colleges and universities by the women students. San Jose State has taken it up and this year a large number of WOmen were seen on the field With various intra-mural and inter-Class teams. Following an exceedingly Close and interesting battle for leadership, the hockey team captained by Olga Nelson from Miss Finlaysonts Class tied for the championship with another outht captained by biargaret Percy and chosen from bliss Lom- bardts class. The inter-Class series created intense excitement among the hockey enthusiasts. The junior team walked away With the Championship, With the freshmen and sophomores finishing in the order named. One of the most unique features of the entire season was the overwhelming success of the juniors. A great part Of the achievement was due to Faith Thomas, goal-keeper, WhO did not have a point made against her. By guarding the goal so Closely this season, she has the unusual and perhaps na- tional distinction of playing throughout both college and high school Without having a point made against her. The deciding game of the season ended With the junior eleven 0n the long end S t : of a 2-0 score With the fresh team. The freshmen were far above the sophs, as they defeated the second-year team With a second- string on the field. The Winning team, juniors, Was made up of: Wings, Muriel Mehiillan and Agnes Kelly; inside, Bernice Graham and Vivian Arnerich; center, Alice VVOOI; halves, Alice Bradeen, Allilian Nliller and Jeannette Van Druten; fullbaeks, Marian McMillan and Romaine Kuntz; goalie, Faith Thomas. On the sophomore team were: Wings, Georgianna Hoenek and Grace Baker; insides, Harriet Ruhl and Geraldine Delbon; center, Mabel Mercer; halves, Aurelia Brown, Sylvia Brier and Margaret Williams; fullbacks, Josephine Herbert and Wini- fred Roberts; goal, Lurene Philips; substitutes, Welma Ham- . men, D. Emmerick. The freshman lineup was: Wings, Margaret Hoenck and . Jessie Hawes; insides, Jeannette Snure and Kathryn Hoskinson; center forward, Elizabeth Rowe; halfbacks, Margaret Percy, Betty Bangs and Ruth McReyands; fullbaeks, hilartha Ken- dall and Iva Liston; goal, Mary Confetti. Upon the All-Star Hockey Team were: Alice W001, center forward; Vivian Arnerieh, right inside; Kathryn Hoskinson, left inside; Muriel McMillan, right Wing; Agnes Kelly, left Wing; Alice Bradeen, center half; Jeanette Van Druten, right half; Margaret Percy, left half; Josephine Herbert, right full- back; Marian McMillan, left fullback, and Faith Thomas, goal. Honorable mention was given to Jeanette Snure and Bernice Graham. TJolleyball C' E TOLLEYBALL, considered a minor sport but a few years ago, now monopolizes the time and attention of a major . activity, and besides is a favorite form of enjoyment among many of the students of the college, both men and women. The seemingly simple act of batting the ball over the net requires unlimited amount of practice. Skill is not so easily obtained in this sport as the spectator might suppose upon Viewing the game. Lillian Ross again captained a Winning intra-mural team, this time in volleyball. Her players finally won from a team cap- tained by Louise Blanchard. The members were, besides 1Wiss Ross, L. Jones, 1W. Vortman, W. Forge, L. Stover, E. Orloff, H. Dooley, M. Gregg, A. Kirkland, M. Price, L. Noble, and A. Mazetta. The final interclass contest resulted in a Win for the sophomore women. The teams were evenly matched and it seemed as though a toss-up would be necessary to decide the final Winner, until the fourth quarter, When the freshmen broke under the strain of the tight game and the sophs walked through to Victory. At the end of the first three sessions, the sophomores had a one point lead, 21-20. And they continued their brilliant playing, While the freshmen lost control of a majority of their serves, With the result that the Winners gained a big lead, and won 39-22. The teams were as follows: Seniors: Faith Thomas, Alice Bradeen, Vivian Arnerich, 1X4arian McMillan, Doris Dean, Neva Duncan. Juniors: Bernice Graham, captain; Agnes Stoodley, Jeanette Van Druten, Helen Nliller, NIargaret Southwick, Cecile Smith, Lucille Carlyon. SOphomores: Mary Comforti, captain; Aurelia Brown, Chris- tine Otis, Georgianna Hoenck, Geraldine Delbon, Winifred Roberts, Harriet Ruhl. Freshmen: helargaret Hoenck, captain; Louise Blanchard, Laura Rice, Iva Liston, hlargaret Percy, Margaret Vortman, Naomi Saph, Aletha VVorrall. The All-Star Volleyball team was made up of: Bernice Graham, captain of the juniors; Mary Confetti, captain of the sophomores; Georgianna Hoenek, Geraldine Delbon, Winifred Roberts, and Aletha Worrall. Honorable mention was given to Nlargaret Hoenck, captain of the freshmen, Aurelia Brown, and Louise Blanchard. waeball NCE again baseball has proved to be one of the most inter- esting sports that have made stands at San Jose State. The national game has held. its place in the hearts of the Physi- cal Education lWajors in their sports Classes, and in the gym Classes. There Will soon be held the intermural games, the inter- sport contests, and interclass games. Baseball promises to be the mainstay of the girls? Field Day held on June 5th. The girls have found in this sport a means of expressing themselves in many ways, for the diamond sport is a technical and highly 0r- ganized game, requiring rapid thinking and quick decisions, as well as physical skill. Baseball is the one sport Which brings all Of the muscles of the body into play, and Which develops practically all of the senses. ' Miss Finlayson. with the capable assistance of the interclass captains, Iva Liston, fresh pitcher; Geraldine Delbon, soph hrst baseman; and Cecile Smith, captain-pitcher 0f the upper classes, has coached baseball this spring. Although it is still early in the season, rapid strides have already been taken in the assimilation of many of the numerous fine points of the game. There are no more home runs made on missed flies, Which shows a develop- ment. The interclass games have not yet been played, but they will match anything for enthusiasm and interest. This year it would seem as though everyonels chances for the Victory were equal, Baseball was organized in the elementary gym classes in much the same manner as other sports have been carried through. Each class has been divided into two teams. These teams com- pete against each other in all respects. They are coached, under the supervision of the instructor, by the student teachers, and their respective captains. 567de HIS year, track and field athletics did not Claim a very large part of the attention of the women of the college. This was not because of lack of interest in the sport itself, but in the fact that those games which give more opportunity for displayal of team play have been stresses rather than the individ- ual type of sports. However, there were about fifty women un- der the efhcient trained coaching of Miss Finlayson for the short four week season, which was brought to a Close by the interclass meet held April 22. Again the fresh showed their superiority over the upperelass women by overwhelming them in a combined aggregation of sophomores, juniors, and seniors by the decisive score of 66-29. Margaret Percy captained the Victorious team, while Georgianna Hoenck led the upper division. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the meet was the over- whelming manner in which freshmen won nearly all the places of the running events. The fresh relay team, composed of Iva Liston, Jeannette Snure, Margaret Percy, and Aletha Worrall, easily defeated the relay team of the upper classes, which was made up Of Georgianna Hoenck, Aurelia Brown, Alice Bradeen, and Bernice Graham. Due to the lack of time spent in training, no records were broken and few were equaled. Iva Listonis baseball throw of 191 feet 1 inch, Which was only a few inches behind the record set by Marg Jenkins. iZS, showed that With a little more practice and effort a better record might be set. A summary of the meet is as follows: lOO-yd. dash-Percy tFi, Blanchard tFi,W0rra11 tFi. 7S-yd. dash--Percy tFi,W0rrall tFi, Snure tFi. 50-yd. dasha-Liston GU, Aubrey tFi, Barnett tD Broad Jumpa-Percy tFi,Worra11 tFi, Graham tD.

This year, no track work was done in any of the elementary gym Classes. Thus, there was no intramural meet; nor was there angintersport meet. The reason for this seeming lack of interest is that team games are much more in vogue than are those games Which stress individualism. Swimming VVIMMING has made rapid strides in its progress toward a top place in the hearts of the Spartanettes. Betty Sword captained the freshmen, Chris Otis, sophs, and Faith Thomas, the upperclass women. The interclass swimming meet capped the climax of the girls3 field day, held June 5th. This meet was held at the Vendome Hotel, although most of the practices have taken place at the Y. W. C. A pool. During the fall semester an intermural meet was held, Which terminated in the team un- der the captaincy of Miriam Lynn, Winning the laurels 0f the day. For the hrst time in the history of San Jose several of the girls of the college undertook and successfully passed the Red Cross Life Saving Examination, given at the Y. W. plunge by Miss Finlayson, swimming director of San Jose State. The following girls are those Who are new full fledged members of the Ameri- can Red Cross Life Saving Corps, and Who are fully equipped to rescue any one from drowning and to perform resuscitation: Faith Thomas, Jane Noonan, Betty Sword, Margaret Hoenck, Dorothea Jones. Beverly hiiner, lertle Newton, Nancy Coth- ran, Irene Fullerton, Geraldine Delbon, Kathryn Hoskinson, Margaret Percy, Miriam Lynn, Alice Bradeen, and Adelaide Young. This Life Saving test consisted of several divisions: Demonstrations 0f cross-Chest carry, head or armloek carry, tired swimmers car ry, back carry. Demonstration of front approach, rear approach, and under- water approach, each preceded by a twenty-yard swim and fol- lowed by a proper turn and carry. Dem0nstrati0n Of all the approved methods of breaking front strangle hold. back strangle hold, arm lock, single wrist grip, double wrist grip. Demonstration of breaking apart two people locked in death grip and towing each to shore separately. Demonstration of a surface dive to recover three times an Object in nine feet of water, and on the fourth to bring a person to the surface and then swim twenty yards with the subject.

This is the obligation assumed when the girl wears the Red Cross Life Saving emblem. 66mins OR many years tennis has always been a popular sport whose devotees come from the ranks of both sexes. This year a great deal of interest has been shown in the sport despite the fact that there is but the one lone tennis court on the campus. This spring, interest in tennis has been on the uphill grade, and is still increasing, A round robin tournament was held to create a more lively interest. This also served to give some of the women experience in playing tournament matches. How- ever, the fundamental purpose of this tournament was to discover the abilities of the girls, particularly the freshmen. This infor mation was very usefully carried out in the arrangement of the elimination tournament which is being held at the present time. The finals of this tournament will be played off on the afternoon of Field Day. The results of the tournament will decide the members of the interclass teams. . iThere are several among the freshmen who are of decidedly superior ability, and it is certain that the interclass matches will be excellent exhibitions of good tennis playing. The sophomores and upperelassmen also have some very fine material from which to choose. c9371: bevy WITH a number of tournaments held in archery, the girls in that sport are becoming steadily interested in the 01d sport of England. Two of these meetings have been held between the girls of the club. Approximately thirty college girls have joined this Club, and since its origination early in the year, the membership has been stead.in growing. Faith Thomas as president has put in an active year as the head of the organi- zation. bliss Bassler is director of the group. The archerettes meet weekly and enjoy an hour on the lawn in practice. Gladys Higgins is secretary, and Martha Kerwin, reporter. The above two were the winners of the two tourna- ments held. Faith Thomas, Ruth Braeeseo, Kathryn MeNary, Gert Witherspoon are ranking marksmen, with the above two leading the van. After the meetings, programs have been held, with a large group generally present. The interest in the sport has been high since its inauguration as a womenis collegiate activity at San Jose State. This year in the archery Classes, tournaments have been held. in order to develop material in this line. One of the achievements of major importance was the archery dance in the KiNigD-Phtingale and the Rose? held. .May 21, 22. Natural rDancing A new and novel activity has found its way to the womenTs gym, under the guidance of bliss Lombard. Due to her ability as a dancing teacher and popularity attained through her efforts, natural dancing has come to stay. Originally it was a course which was a requirement for the women majoring in Physical Education. The girls registered for this Class and thought it impossible to develop into graceful dancers. More and more women began to enroll in the Classes until there were about as many as were not Phy Eds. These Classes were responsible in 'a large part for the artistic success of the Fiesta de las Rosas dance drama. Gonelusiom Doubtless everyone at college knows that there is, at the pres- ent time a general reformation throughout the country in regard to womenis athletics. In other words, womenls athletics are Wit- nessing decidedly different programs in many of the leading colleges, universities and high schools of the nation today than they have in the past. The fact is that the authorities on womenis physical education have come to believe that it is more profitable and practical to develop universal opportunities in athletics than to develop the few WhO make up the varsity teams. Womenis athletics, being a rather new idea, lacks in most places adequate equipment and staff Which would enable the de- velopment of first teams and still maintain the necessary means for mass participation. It was thought better to saerihce the advantages of a few for the benefit of the Whole, and for this reason inter-school competition has been discontinued. The most popular method of dividing the girls into teams, so as to carry out the universal opportunities, is the intra-rnural system. The department used this system throughout the college year in all of the major sports. The freshmen women are all registered in gym and sport Classes, and these classes are divided into teams, the girls electing their own captains. A round robin is played, thereby carrying out a system wherein everyone plays, and enabling the selection of the best team. After a Champion team has been picked, competition begins between the Classes. Thus, team after team is weeded out, until the best team from all the lelasses Wins the title. The eaptainis name, or name of the team, is placed on the banner hung in the room of the Womenls Athletic Association.
