Being very much Of Q... U i V 1X? work, I have little upon Which to base a conclusion. 3 393 3 There have been many evidences of progress but I a a freshman both at San Jose and at this kind of E 5 V4 1 s M I; have no way of knowing Whether that progress has a s been modest, or just normal, or possibly phenomenal. However, it a I all looks very satisfactory to me. ' b I cannot think of a college more attractive than San Jose. It always A g strikes me as Wholesome, normal, practical. The community is repre- a g sentativeenot too large, nor too small, nor too interested, nor too a 3 uninterested. Our equipment is usable, not impossible, not perfect. r 5 Our students come from near-by districts, many of them living at a g home. They are not too given to college life as fresh, but still college a g - days are great days to most of them. As I read from time to time some a -.I of the student ideas as they come to the surface in print, I realize that .6 V this is truly an institution of learning. I doubt if we learn very much g I Without a good deal of trial and error. We seem to have a few so-called 5 a IIradicalsf, students Who have read, or heard expressed, light-Weight n one-sided ideas and Who retail them as their own, but there is not Q much of that. I have talked to many of our students this year and I 3 am convinced that they are fine. The college numbers on its roll many s quiet thinkers, line, Wholesome, eHicient young men and women Who are Willing to make real eHbrts. It is a pleasure to know them and to work With them. g A 34 a a The faculty, too, come in for my sincere admiration. We have With a us men and women Who have been trained in the best institutions the a world affords. They are bringing to us ripe scholarship, eHicient effort, and clear, Wholesome thlnking. a This has been a great year to me; a real joy in my acquaintance a a a i a i With such a college as San Jose. What progress has really been made only the future can determine. 7, mmmmmr I manage DR. MAC QUARRIE V 7' I a VK '3 l 5 3 V I 3 l g i l i k ' Al N VJ b r n ALL. Immmmmmowmmmm FACULTY ALICE ADAMS, B.

Not the traditional A B. variety, but real old- fashioned evening dress Delos Woolfe and Clifton Adcock sang With such splendor. We wonder Why they don t join the opera. All of this added greatly to jollying up the tholly-Up. uSPRING JOLLY-UP hOld King Cole was a merry ole soulf especially when played by the other- Wise digniiied J ames 0. Wood. The occasion was the spring semester UollyaUp, or nMother Goose melodrama. Geraldine Jones made quite a quaint old lady. LEAP YEAR FROLIC Spartan heroes battled more valiantly than ever before on that great day, February 29, but 'twas no use, for ttLeap day is woman,s day, and every man was a rose between two tand moreO thorns. Vacation, programs, dancing, and cider, combined with a Chico rally, made the day one to be long remembered. LEAP YEAR FROLIC A mock basketball game With Chico, put on by the Senior class, furnished a peppy prelude to the tag dance held during the Leap Year Frolic. At this affair the men were forced to be wallflolwers, picked at random by fair co-eds. Cider was furnished by the Student Body. 6?? Like alternate returning day and night, Or like the seasons march and slow return, Or- like the comets that, once an aeon, bum, Life moves across the earth in dark and light. In light! but lost again in times swift flight.

AL A A gs e 'mmmmmmmnoummmmmumml EVELYN MILLER President THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HE college Alumni Association dates back to 1863. Renewed vigor has marked its activities in the past few years. The annual Home Coming Day is the big Alumni event of the year. The Saturday before June graduation a stream of home-coming alumni return to points of interest about the school to renew 01d acquaintances. A quad reception in the morning, a luncheon on the south lawn, and a banquet in the evening are outstanding events of the day. The business of the Alumni Association is conducted by the Executive Board. This group meets on the college campus during the school year. It chooses the editor of the Alumni Bulletin, the official publication of the Association. This appears semi-annually. It gives news of the school and of former students who have scattered into various fields of activity. The Alumni have sponsored two assemblies during the past year. The flrst one,thevld in January, officially welcomed the graduating Seniors into the Association. The second assembly, held in May, extended a hearty invitation to attend the June Home Coming Day. The Executive Board for the past year has been: Emil Buchser, Marie Curtis, Clara Hinze, Mrs. L. T. Smith, Nell OiBrien, Bernice Savaker, Lela Cameron and Charles Townsend L 76. ALUMNI Early in the fall an entire assembly period was taken over by members of the Alumni Association, under the direction of Miss Evelyn Miller, president. Vari- ous prominent alumni entertained, the keynote of the program being co-operation. 550 my cStudentS .

N EIL O. THOMAS M anager CO-OPERATIVE STORE EIL O. THOMAS, Student Body Controller, and new quarters in the: Spartan Union, have been the two main factors acquiring for the co-operative store the position which it occupies today. In previous years the store was located in the main corridor, just south of the assembly hall. Conditions there became very crowded, however, so last summer the building formerly used as womenis corrective gymnasium was remodeled for a student store. Additions Were built on, and the structure took the form of a center, or Spartan Union. Under Mr. Thomas, administration, the inhuence 0f the co-operative store has been recognized as proportionally equal to that-of similar stores at Harvard, Yale, Stanford, and other universities of importance, since he has procured for the Teachers College co-op mem- bership in the College Book Store Association, both National and Western Division Branch. This year the store has added to its properties a lunch counter and soda fountain, managed by Barbara Fagundes, chef of many years, experience. Since its installation the fountain has done a rushing business, increasing its sales each month. The book store, in addition to the usual contents, carries candy, jewelry and notions. Carl Carr was Mr. Thomas3 assistant in this department in the fall, and Edward Haworth during the spring semester. .9 D KOMHD CO-OPERATIVE STORE The new co-operative store opened for business in its present location, the Spartan Union, in September, 1927, under the management of N. 0. Thomas. The store now consists of two departmentsethe book store proper and a soda fountain-both of Which are enjoying a phenomenal business. i i S a $ EDWIN MARKHAM HEALTH COTTAGE, INC.

Coach Knollin hopes that next year '7 we will bring home that old championship cup 4 and keep it for good. As the Spartans will only a have one more season in California Coast con- ! ference competition, Mr. Knollin is especially desirous of winning first place this fall. ! COACH E. R. KNOLLIN a ANAGER JOHN HANSEN showed the a true itSpartan Spiritt, in his dealings with the 1927 State Aggregation. Co-operation a was the byword of Johns activities and a true success marked his efforts. The popular V manager showed his true worth as manager of I Coach ttMaW MacDonald,s 1926-27 basketball a quintet, and the manner in which he handled a that position had much to do with his being ? selected as grid manager.

Fifty-one in all, including twenty veterans, made known their 5 intentions of giving the Gold and White varsity its ttplace in the sun? Those of the roster g who had formerly played under the Spartan colors were: Captain Awbrey Laws, Stanley Acres, g Joe Amori, Jim Beatty, Webster Benton, Robley Berry, Joe Brown, LaVerne Brown, Anthony T Escobar, Donald Graham, Arnold T orres, Walter Wauhub, Bill White, Herbert Winters, Hal 5 Hawley, Verde Hawley, Les Helhena, Bill Hubbard, John Paviso and Jess Regli. ' a Awbrey itLuckyb Laws was elected varsity captain at the conclusion of the season. ' . Coach Knollin selected a captain for each of the contests, holding to the theory that burden- a some problems would hinder oneis play to be leader throughout the season. a The year 1927 could easily be looked upon as the most successful in Spartan football a history. The team finished the conference schedule with four Victories and four defeats, ? emerging fourth in the California Coast Conference standing. Injuries in the F resno State I and Chico State contests eliminated the Gold and White as a possibility for high honors. a The players and their positions were as follows: ends, Acres, Beatty, McKeay, Tomley, Henderson and H. Hawley; tackles, Berry, Green, Paviso, Hensil, Wauhub and Hornbuckle; guards, J. Brown, Regli, V. Hawley, L. Brown and Schmoldt; centers, Escobar and Pieri; quarterbacks, Hubbard, Torres and Reed; halfbacks, Critser, Portal, Benton, Graham, Strat- ton, White, Mahakian, Winters and Smith; fullbacks, Barrass and Captain Laws. 3 a Coach Knollin worked hard to develop a good team for San Jose State. Although handi- ? capped by injuries the Gold and White refused to quit fighting, and it was largely due to the 1 wonderful spirit Coach Knollin injected into the: team that the varsity did so well. John a Hanson, football manager, co-operated with the team and the coach in every possible way and a was always on the lookout to be of some service. a :3 STATE, 44; BAKERSFIELD J. C., o Demonstrating a spectacular offense as well as a stonewall defense, the Spartan gridiron warriors forced the opposing Bakersfield J. C. Renagades across their own goal line seven times to win by the one-sided score of 44-0 in the first game of the season. tiHub77 Hubbard, brilliant ammmmmmmmmmmmmmummmmmm a quarterback, and tiPlungerT Barrass, fullback, lead the attack with two touchdowns apiece. 7 Jess Regli, Web Benton, and Captain Laws augmented the score by a touchdown each. i mmmmmmmmmmonmmmmmmm ,4 LAWS L. BROWN ESCOBAR REGLI FOOTBALL The Spartans took the kick-off and punched the pigskin down to the Visitors three-yard line only to lose it on a fumble. However, the Staters blocked the Renagadesi punt, and in three plays, Laws went over for the first touchdown of the season. N 0t content with this, the Spartans scored two more touchdowns before 'the first quarter had ended. Coach Knollin injected a number of subs into the! game, but the Gold and White would be stopped, and four more scores were added to San Joseis total in the course of the game. The Spartan lineup was as follows: Acres, left end; Regli, left tackle; J. Brown, left guard; Escobar, center; V. Hawley, right guard; Paviso, right tackle; H. Hawley, right end; Hubbard, quarterback; Graham, right halfback; White, left halfback; Laws, fullback. Benton, Critser, Barrass, Wauhub, L. Brown, Beatty, Berry and Winters were the State substitutes. STATE,.7; SACRAMENTO J. C., 13 On October 8 the Spartans journeyed to Sacramento and were defeated by the Sacramento J. C. Panthers in a heartbreaking struggle by the count of 13-7. Regli, whose punts far out- distanced Hoxieis, and Hubbard and Hawley with their passing attack, were easily the offensive stars for the Gold and White. As in the Bakersfield game the line, although outweighed from five to fifteen pounds to the-man, held like a stonewall, the Panthers scoring their two touch- downs on passes. The Panthers score first when Silva, righthalf, intercepted the ball on the Spartanis twenty-yard mark. On the next play Silva gained around end, and then a cleverly executed pass, Hoxie to Lewis, gave the home team a six-point lead. The try for point failed. The Staters came back two minutes later when Regli blocked Hoxie,s kick and ran flfty yards for 209 j V w 'mmmmmmmmmmmmumMcmmmmum! fmmmmmmmmmnonmmmmaaezmmcaga i 7 t a T HUBBARD TORRES CRITSER HAWLEY, H. 5 FOOTBALL :7 a a touchdown.

Outside of the g V flrst few minutes of play, the Gold and White aggregation showed little of the aggressiveness a a displayed in the two previous contests. h 4 San Jose kicked off and then held the Roadrunners for downs. The Spartans received l a the kick on the twenty-yard line where it went into play again.

Other than these Changes the regular lineup started the game. The Spartan g 5 subs were as follows: Smith, Reed, Hornbuckle, Green, McKeay, Tomley, Pieri, Berry, Portal, l A Hensil, Amori, White, Wauhub and Mahakian. a 4 STATE, 25; SANTA ROSA J.

Staters easily outplayed the Visitors, scoring four touchdowns, three of which were made in h I the second quarter. h 13 Coach Knollin started his second string, and it is needless to say that this outfit gave the s a Santa Rosa eleven plenty to think about. N either team scored in the first quarter, but the g a play was mostly in the Visitoris territory. The Spartan first-string men were injected into the a V fray at the beginning of the second period. ttHub,i Hubbard scored for the Staters when he I ran around right end for fifteen yards after having completed a twenty-yard run.

C., o a Stinging with defeats of previous years, the Spartan varsity journeyed down to San a Mateo on October 29 and handed the San Mateo Jaysee Bulldogs a, neat 12-0 lacing. The V Staters demonstrated a great defense as well as a good offense. a The Gold and White scored its first touchdown in the opening canto when Laws stood a back and heaved a well-aimed pass into the waiting arms of Hubbard, who ran thirty yards a through a broken held for a touchdown. Hawley failed to convert. a The game seesawe-d back and forth, neither team being able to score again during the half. V San Mateds big star was Leggitt, a halfback, who made a number of sensational runs but was 1 ' unable to get away for a score. Critser, Hubbard and Barrass led in the attack for the Spartans a with Laws aiding in long passes.

State subs: Critser, Paviso, J. Brown, McKeay, Smith, T'omley, Henderson and White. STATE, 7; FRESNO STATE, 10 Determined to give the strong F resno State Bulldogs at real battle, the flghting Spartans took the field against the powerful southern aggregation at F resno on November 5 and held them to a 10-7 score, a field goal by Mitchell, Bulldog halfback, in the last two minutes of play giving the Raisin City squad the victory. The mighty F resno eleven received a terrible shock directly after San Jose had received the kick-off. On the Iirst play of the game, Laws shot a bullet-like pass to Hubbard who galloped forty yards to a touchdown. Hawley added the extra point. But the Bulldogs were not to be outdone. Taking the ball on their own forty-six-yard line, the Fresno eleven forced its way through the Spartan line to a touchdown. The try for point was blocked, but the point was allowed because of a San Jose man being off-side. The score remained tied until two minutes from the end of the game when Mitchell, Bulldog half, STRATTON J. BROWN HORNBUCKLE b. FOOTBALL a dropped back and shot a dropi-kick through the uprights from the twenty-yard marker, thus a . giving Fresno its margin of Victory. 7 One of the calamities of the game occurred when ttHubii Hubbard, flashy Spartan quarter- 1 s l back, was hit by a quartet of Fresno men early in the fray, sustaining a broken shoulder. With 1 a Hubbard out of the game the Gold and White was fighting a losing fight. i V The lineup was identical with the one used in the San Mateo game. The substitutes were g as follows: McKeay, Paviso, Henderson, White, J. Brown, Stratton and, Winters. i STATE, 0; CHICO STATE, 19 a 5 a Minus the services of their star quarterback, tiHubii Hubbard, the Gold and White foot- a ? ball squad put up a stubborn resistance, but was defeated 19-0 by the Chico State Wildcats, b ' h on Armistice Day at Chico. The Spartans7 chances werenit enhanced any when Stanley Acres, b a i a L g i hashy end, and itLuckyi, Laws, halfback, were forced to leave the contest early in the fray due to injuries. The Chico Wildcats flashed as powerful an attack as has ever been seen in this conference, demonstrating a dazzling variety of plays, including reverses, linebucks, end runs, passes, etc. Jimmy Thomasson, brilliant Chico back, was by far the outstanding star of the game. The s a Spartans seemed powerless to stop him, and it was he who scored all three of the Wildcat touchdowns. He carried the ball over from the three-yard mark to score the first touchdown b a of the game before. the contest had been going on ten minutes. At this stage the Spartan line a a stiffened, and although the Wildcats managed to work the pigskin down to the three-yard line, a a the Gold and White held for four downs, the last buck being from the siX-inch line. T immmmmmmmnonmmm W . K' v I t - I i Kw mmmmmmmmmmmc Yam o a r s o Wiim' HENDERSON FOOTBALL At this point the Spartans turned on their adversaries and for a time it looked as though the Chico Staters would be fortunate to pull through. By dint of a number of sensational runs by Critser and Regli the Gold and White took the ball to the Chico three-yard line about a half minute before the half ended, but time saved the Chico team. Coach Knollin injected some of his second string men into the fray during the second half, but light as they did, they were not the equal of the powerful Wildcat machine, and before the contest had ended Thomasson added two more touchdowns to the Chico score which read 19-0 at this time. The Spartans started a short drive just before the end of the game, but they lacked time to put over a score. Jess Regli, the big Spartan guard, was called back from guard to take Laws, place at fullback, and to say that he did a great job would be putting it mildly. Taking the ball time and time again, the Gold and White speed merchant made several long runs, one of which was a fifty-yard run back for a kick-off. Regli carried the ball three out of every four times in the last half and took a terrilic body beating. But the big Spartan was game and always came back for more. Torres, quarterback, who called signals in Hubbardls place did great work, fighting hard all the way, and let7s not forget Critser, who did such fine playing in the first half and Escobar and the rest of the fellows in the line. They all tried hard. The starting lineup was the same as the one which started the Fresno game With the exception of Hubbard, who was replaced by Torres and Critser by Smith in the backfield. Tomley, L.

The Staters lost the flrst game played to the peninsula Jaysee squad h by the score of 2-0, but gave the latter the surprise of their lives in the second game, and although defeated by the score of 4-3, the Spartans displayed their best form of the season. The Stanford Frosh and the Spartans played two exciting tie games, the scores being 1 1-1 and 3-3. Each game was hard fought with honors about even throughout. The California A F rosh forfeited its game to the Spartans, but the latter played the Bear varsity, a practice game, the Berkeley boys emerging Victorious by a 7-0 score.

I Although there was but a limited amount of interest manifested in this sport throughout h the past season in the. way of student support, it is expected that as each season comes and goes that more interest will be shown.

NDER the tutelage of Coach ttMach MacDonald and the captaincy of ttBilP Hubbard, the 1927-28 Spartan hoop squad rolled through the most successful season in the basketball history of San Jose State, to capture the California Coast Conference championship. Not only was the past basketball season the most successful in the history of the school, but the type of competition furnished by many members of the conference raised the standard of basketball played to a much higher plane than it has ever been before. F mm the time the Spartan squad opened its practice season with a 25-10 .win over the Stanford varsity, until it closed its season with a thrilling 29-28 win over the Chico Wildcats for the conference flI'St honors, the State five indicated that it was headed toward a conference championship and knew how to get there. Twenty-three games were played during the past season, making one of the longest, if not the longest, schedule ever played in the history of the school. Of the 23 games played the Spartan quintet annexed 19. Of these 19 games won, 13 were conference contests, while the remaining 6 were practice games and games played on the trip to Northern California. The regular conference schedule called for 12 games, the Spartans winning all but one of these encounters, while they took two games of the three-game championship series. On the practice schedule the Spartans tangled with such formidable opponents as the Stanford varsity and the F resno State College flVC. CAPTAIN HUBBARD DAN LINSTEDT BASKETBALL The Gold and White flve proved itself a wonder team as far as scoring is concerned, totaling 827 markers to its opponents 465. Captain-elect T 0m Maloney was high-point man of the season with 237 points to his credit, Hal Hawley' being second with 155. Coach MacDonald called ten men on the roster. Maloney and Hawley at forward, Linstedt at center, and Kerchen and Hubbard at guard made up the first-string five. Reed and Regli at forward, Vagts at center, and Laws and Coleman at guard composed the second- string lineup. Each of these men figured prominently? in the final series with Chico and each is deserving of a great deal of credit. Due to injuries received during the football season the veterans, Bill Hubbard and Jess Regli, were unable to hit their full stride, but, nevertheless, they were in there fighting hard all season. SUCCESSFUL PRACTICE SEASON The Spartans opened their practice season in an auspicious manner that foretold 0f the success of the coming season, when they downed the Stanford varsity' by a 25-10 count on the latterls court. Spartan led all the way in this game and was at no time threatened by the Cards. In the second encounter, the Cards, burning with desire for revenge, turned the tables on the Spartans and annexed the game with a 23-12 Victory. Coach MacDonald used all his material in these two games trying out various combinations. Breaking a long standing tradition of Bulldog wins in basketball, the Staters took the first game of their two-game series with the Fresno State quintet by a 27-26 score. The following night the Bulldogs reversed the decision, leaving the court with a 29-17 Victory carefully tucked away. The Gold and White men concluded their practice season in a fine manner, when they journeyed to Watsonville on the night of January 7 and took the measure of the Y. M. C. A. five there, 5 7-13. The Spartans took the lead from the start and were never headed. T OM MALONEY DON KERCHEN A BASKETBALL g STATE, 71, 42; SANTA ROSA J.

Sufficient to say the Wildcats lead by the brilliant playing of Wilson, forward; and Palmer at center, lead all the way. At half time the Chico five had a 13-11 margin. In the second half the Spartans made a valiant effort to come back, but the Wildcats kept up their brilliant play and increased their lead before the fmal gun sounded. The following night found the Spartans playing their best game of the year enabling them to reverse the decision to the tune of 29-12,. Hawley and Maloney fairly scintillated with remarkable shots from all angles of the Hoor. The defense with Captain Hubbard and Kerchen guarding, the Chico goal was well-nigh impregnable-another cause for Chicols rout. BIG THREE-GAME SERIES The Spartans annexed the lirst 0f the big series with Chico at San Jose the following F riday evening, 22-16. The Wildcats were leading 9-8 at half, but the Spartans, hopes were raised when Carl Coleman, sub guard, tallied 6 points in the last half of the game to lead the Gold and White to a brilliant Victory.

Hubbard with a 51 iiat run in the quarter, and Sparkes with a run of 2 101.8 in the half, each broke Far Western Conference records. Hal Hawley was high-point man of the meet with seventeen markers, taking flrsts in the high hurdles, discus and; shotput, and thirds in the low hurdles and broad jumps.

The program of sports for all, begin in the high schools with the elimination of interschool competition, is bearing fruit in the colleges. Never before have so many women been actively interested in athletics. Especially is this noticeable among the frosh. Another aspect is seen. Heretofore, when high-school championships were at stake, coaches were prone to develop remarkable players of a few students. They came to college and always, as freshmen, annexed the interclass championships, because the upper classmen had been playing for the love of the game and because of so many participating, team plays were stressed, rather then individual coaching. This is no longer true for they, too, have not received personal attention and now everyone is on the same basis. Once again is the old adage illustrated-sacrifice the few for the many. The better the technique, the more enjoyment may be derived. But, With such a large number engaged in playing, technique: cannot be developed to a great extent, and the result is a large number of average players, rather than a few stars. San Jose State, under Miss Lombardis direction, has done much to foster these ideals. Interclass competition provides for two or three teams from each class, and intermural competition includes all those enrolled in elementary gym and sports classes. ' r J'. BASKETBALL ASKETBALL, although postponed until the completion of the new gym, did not lack for interest. One hundred and flfty women participated in the interclass games, coached by Miss Gretchen Kroncke. 'X The Juniors, showing their old time caliber, recaptured the title they held as F reshmen. The other classes rated as following: Seniors, second; Sophomores, third, and Freshmen, last. These results upset the tradition of long years standing, that the Freshmen should win and the Seniors be the cellar champions. ix X V The C Txe k- f a Forty-four intermural contests were played off; Ruth Koehle, winning the privilege of 9 having her name inscribed on W. A. Afs Basketball pennant. The season was climaxed by a a spread in the gym for the winning intermural team and all the interclass participants. The task of selecting the All-Stars proved the most difficult of any sport. After great deliberation, the committee, composed of Miss Lombard, Miss Kroncke, Ruth Collins, and the interclass captains: Vivian Tamblyn, Senior; Margaret Percy, Junior; Ella Mathiesen, Sophomore, and Naomie Koehle, Freshman, selected the following team, irrespective of relative positions: Aurelia Brown, Senior, center; Eleanor Agnew, Freshman, forward; Ruth e Collins, Sophomore, center; Margaret Percy, Junior, center; Iva Liston, Junior, guard; I Roberta Walker, Sophomore, forward; Louise Blanchard, Junior, forward; Margaret Hoenck, i xf Junior, guard; Nina Walker, Junior, center. This is purely honorary grouping, the basis of Which is technique, sportsmanship, and appearance in sports. T he All-Star team is merely devised to give recognition to those Who are outstanding players, and does not tend to develop stellar play at the cost of teamwork. mmmmmmmmoummacr JW 24 X AX h mammary Away 04' T 54 BASKETBALL g The members of the Victorious Junior Team include Louise Blanchard, Nina Walker and A Martha Kendall, forwards; Margaret Hoenck, Iva Liston and Vivian Wasson, guards; Nina a Walker, Margaret Percy, Thea Soensen, Helen Nick and Ruth Peters, guards.

A. A. went off with a bang when. ninety-five women reported to the interclass volley ball practice to be coached by Miss Gail Tucker. Because of the non-completion of the new womenis gymnasium the sport program was necessarily altered. Thus volley ball was the flrst sport of the fall semester. The Sophomores retained their title, won as. Freshmen; and the Juniors placed second. followed by the Seniors and Freshmen, respecting. The intermuralities who eliminated forty teams in the race for the privilege of having its team listed on the volley ball winners pennant were captained by Naomie Koehle. The committee who chose the All Stars was as follows: Miss Lombard, Miss Tucker, Aurelia Brown, manager, and the ensuing captains: Georgianna Hoenck, Senior; Laura Aubrey, Junior; Ruth Collins, Sophomores, and Naomie Koehle, Freshmen. The team they selected was composed of the following; Margaret Hoenck, Junior; Aurelia Brown, Senior; Lilly Lydell, Ella Mathiesen, Enid Oberg, and Roberta Walker. Honorable mention was given to Louise Blanchard, Junior; and Georgianna Hoenck, Senior. The games for the interclass championship were excellently played and closely contested. The Victorious Sophomores team, which by the way, holds the title for two successive years, lists among its numbers, the following: Lilly Lydell, Enid Oberg, Ella Mathiesen, Roberta Walker, Louise Blanchard, Ruth Collins, Marion Benjamin, Marie Nogues, Evelyn Olsen.

HOCKEY MMEDIATELY following the volley ball season the girls repaired to the outdoor field in pursuit of that ancient invigorating sporte-hockey. The clubs and shin guards were given an airing which proved all too short. It was here that the faculty showed its real interest in the girls, by reporting to all prac- tices and playing on the Senior team. Of course, this eliminated the Seniors from the cham- pionship, but it furthered the spirit of the. contest by making it possible to have four separate teams, instead of but one Junior-Senior combination to compete with the Freshmen and Sophomore teams. Miss Lombard, who coached the sport, besides being an excellent player, showed her ability as a hockey coach for the third season. Because of her attendance at a hockey con- vention at Mills College, Miss Lombard was able to introduce the most modern and approved methods of play. The Sophomores continued in their Victorious strain and again snatched the Victory from the Juniors, who placed second with the Freshmen holding the third place. The newer plays were greatly evidenced in the cup competition. Because of the weather, and the forced alteration of the sports program, there was no intramural hockey. However, speedball is a game which may be as thoroughly enjoyed as hockey.

MWMEERDMMMWI SPEEDBALL a S PEEDBALL proved that it has come to stay, for even though its novelty has worn off, g 9 sixty Spartanettes are actively enjoying participating in it. Its season was very effec- . h tively wedged between that thrill-inspiring sport, basketball, and baseball, serving as a ' :s a gradual letdown for basketball and an introduction to the national outdoor sports, baseball. F a a Miss Tucker, in coaching the sport, is largely responsible for the innovation, and the ts 3 interest shown in it. Although LA TORRE goes to press, the championship series has not been i T played, but the interclass teams have been chosen. The captains are as follows: Genevieve 1 Zingham, Junior; Eunice Peterson, Sophomore; and Eleanor Agnew, Freshman. The Class 1 lineups are as follows: Freshman, Esther Ehlbert, Beulah Elfring, Bernice Jackson, Eleanor ilk Agnew, Marjorie Wood, Florence McClay, Janice Foster, Winona Duren, Evelyn Taix, Alice h Streig, Starr Pait, Frances Agnew, Claire Adams, Donna Bridges, Lois Bradeen.

As yet the series games have not been started. The teams have been practicing very hard for the past weeks and there Will undoubtedly be some very good exciting games. You just watch those girls go. T hey are showing their appre- ciation for the new gym but they earned it. 7C 7 mmmmm C 7457137137 TENNIS N DER the efficient management of Marie Nogues, more interest has been manifested in tennis than ever before. In the fall semester, a large ladder tournament was held, a which resulted in Vivienne Smith, followed by Marie Nogues, in the singles, and in the V doubles, Margaret Percy and Iva Liston sat on top of the ladder, while the next step was 4 occupied by Margaret Hoenck and Laura Rice. When this was over, the elimination tourna- a ment held for the purpose of selecting interclass teams, took place. a At the time of writing this, the tournament was in its infancy, so no definite statements a or prognostications can be made. a Tennis was given as a class by Miss Tucker and Miss Kroncke during the spring semester and was advantageously enjoyed. Due to the lack of college courts, the girls were forced to go a to the high school courts. a The absence of a tennis court. on any college Campus is greatly to be deplored, and when a the one lone apology of a tennis court disappeared under the new gymnasium, W. A. A. began serious agitation for courts. It is hoped the courts will greatly beautify our campus in the near a future. 45 mammm V i F1 x 16.79; , V . . rm NWmmmo: SWIMMING HE swimming season was carried throughout the year by Miss Tucker, the swimming coach. The Amphibians meet at the itYii every Tuesday night to persue the life-saving, and fancy diving. The swimming meet on Play Day was successfully staged, and many mermaids from all around entered it. The annual interclass swimming meet has not been held at the time of the writing of this, but arrangements have been made with the WW, whereby a twenty-cent rate is made for groups of ten, of which W. A. A. will pay half, during the practice periods preliminary to the meet to be held at the Vendome plunge. PLAY DAY As the climax of the Womenis Athletic Associationis 1927-28 sports program was held, a huge Play Day which included besides the Teachers College at San F rancisco, all the local Junior Colleges. The old-time interschool competition, is definitely a thing of the past, and the Play Day idea is truly exemplifled. No longer do schools compete against each other; they now compete with each other. On May 12, the day began with enlivening treasure hunt followed by playing the organized sports. The days events were capped by a luncheon at tables set on the lawn at which each of the schools presented entertainment. mmmmmmmm - Z 6 3 ' ImMme-ymmmnouaaamy , a 4'9 Av $ gt Wontalvo ca g These are the friendly hills men call Elysian A-nigh unto the stormless paradise. s Soothing and fair they are to tired eyes. a g They open the soul to many a happy vision. a h And send the heart on many stirring mission 3 5 Wherein the man may seek the living prize a! g Of quiet joy and peradventure rise ' g Where sin is not and never sad contrition. g Here evermore at hand the friendly book! g Always the statued joy whereon to look ..
