The Blue and Gold Dairy Club HE BLUE AND GOLD Dairy Club is now in its second year as an organization on the campus, and can be proud of its position at the present time. Its success can only be attributed to the whole- hearted effort of its sponsors in the Faculty and its members, both of whom have worked Without stint to further its interests. The purposes of the club may be expressed in a few words, but the benefits Which may be derived are unlimited. The club has endeavored to bring those interested in the dairy industry in closer contact With the dairy problems of the day, and to cobperate With the Dairy Division in building up a larger and more efficient dairy department. Meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays, at Which time men who have made a success in the dairy industry speak to the members on subjects Which they are most qualified to discuss. The club has been addressed by H. S. Baird 0f the Northern California Milk Producers, Mr. Eugene Grubb, Mr. Feweiger of the Walnut Grove Creamery of Oakland, Mr. Lochry of the U. S. D. A., Western Dairy Division, and by members of the Faculty. In the Fall semester, members of the club competed at the State Fair in dairy products judging. From these members a team of four men was selected to compete at the Pacific International at Portland. For the second consecutive year the team took first honors, and this year the two highest men of the contest were members of our team. 75

BAIRD GINSBERG I STEiNHART SIL VA Vice-Pres- Treasurer President Secretary Pomology Round Table HE POMOLOGY ROUND TABLE is a student organization by which the Pomology Division is represented in all student activities. The purpose of this organization has been to increase the student interest in Pomology by obtaining men occupied in various lines of agricultural activities in various sections of California and having them speak on subjects with which they are personally acquainted. R. B. Denbigh, as President, last Fall did much towards increasing the popularity of the Round Table and building up a noteworthy organi- zation. Largely through his efforts the students were able to hear such prominent men as Mr. Gammon of Hood, Mr. Hecke, Director of the State Department of Agriculture, Mr. Condit, President of the Peach and Fig h'owersl Association, James Mills and others. In addition to obtaining interesting speakers, the Round Table have worked up shows and stunts for the Jitney Fair and Picnic Day, as well as interesting trips to various parts of the State. At the beginning of the last semester, the Round Table was reorgan- ized under a new plan, which allows for a more uniform distribution of the numerous duties, and from all indications, was very successful. The meetings have been well attended and enjoyed by all. Entertainment and eats, of no mean importance, were plentiful. It is hoped that with a sound organization, as has been developed, the Round Table will rank among the best, if not the best, organization of its kind on the campus. 74 a
