works will be afforded. And let us make the
most of our opportunities here; let us store
up an abundance of experiences, for surely
they will be called into use when we launch
out into the great world.
Besides the general culture derived by the
individualparticipant in the dramatic work
suggested, there would be a financial gain
which might be a great aid to any one of our
many organizations.
Social and Athletic.
The  Debating  Societies,
The work of the debating societies is progressing rapidly owing to the untiring efforts
of the energetic members of both organizations. A new plan has been adopted in the
parliamentary drills which ara conducted, or
at least directed, by Prof. Miller. Two rival
committees have been appointed to bring up
the mock motions and resolutions and act as
party leaders. As there is a constant strife
between the two parties, Roberts' Rules of
Order are diligently searched for points by
which they may entangle each other. Two
meetings have been held under this plan and
those who took an active part can testify to
the fact that the points of "order" brought
into use will never be forgotten.
As soon as the forms of business have been
more thoroly mastered, a political convention is to take place which will be as instructive as it is interesting.
While such plans are being made and carried out for the purpose of increaing the
practical business knowledge of the members
of the societies, the development of their oratorical powers is not forgotten, and a contest
between the two organizations has been arranged for December 14th.
"Labore et lionore.''
The third termers have inaugurated a
movement which means a new page in the history of the Chico State Normal School. This
movement is class organization. Heretofore
it has been customary for classes to organize
at the beginning of the eighth term, but this
is not in accordance with the standard our
sshool has attained. Class organization is
carried on most successfully in high schools
and universities, so why not here?
With a view to establishing this new feature in our school, and "In in order to maintain unity, standard of record, and to promote our general   welfare,   we,   the students
of the third term, do organize ourselves as
the future class of June, '03, and we pledge
ourselves 'to be true to our classmates, true
to our duty, and true to ourselves.' "
The class has adopted cardinal and silver
as class colors, and to denote how tha progress of the,class shall be effected has chosen
as a motto, "Labore et Honore."
Football.
Normal, 16; Corning, 0.
The first game of the season was played at
Corning Oct. 13 and we won by a score of
16-0. Our team that day was weak owing
to the fact that some of our first eleven men
Were disabled.
The game opened with a kick-off by Chico,
and bafore six minutes had passed Zumwalt
of the Normals had scored a touchdown and
Waste kicked a goal. No more scoring was
done that half.
In the second half 10 more points were
added, a field goal by Waste and a second
touch down by Zumwalt.
The best game was played by Mathews.
His defensive work was especially good, and
the offensive game he played was noteworthy.
Stevens at guard made several good individual tackles.
The boys enjoyed the trip and many congratulations are extended to the Corning
boys for the gentlemanly manner in which
they treated us.
Normal, 34; Marysville A. 0.. 0.
Our second game was a walk over, as the
score above denotes. This game was played
on our campus Oct. 20, and our team lined
up somewhat differently from what it did the
previous Saturday.
Hosier, at center, played a great game
and kept his man out of every play.
Birch and H. Hicks held down the guard
positions,   and  did  it  very creditably.    Our
