Stout Class Colors Purple and Gold Class Motto “It can he done Class Flower Bougainvillea CLASS HISTORY Last year, we entered Polytechnic as Freshmen, one hundred and twenty-five strong, and were well represented in athletics, many winning letters. During the school year, we gave a dance and an assembly which added to our successful future. As Commencement time drew near, we. as Freshmen, solemnly declared to make each year a brighter and greater success. This year, we returned to school as Sophomores, looking forward to a year of hard work. Mr. Dunning and Mr. Stout helped us to organize and live up to our motto. “It can be done.” Our class has made a good showing in athletics. One of our men made his letter in football, and several were on the basketball, baseball and track teams. We have some very good material and the Frosh had better look out for us in interclass football, because we are out for their hides. They beat us in basketball, but just watch our smoke in football and track. We entertained the school and the Chico basketball team with a dance, January 22. Everyone reported a good time. As the end of the year draws near, we realize with pride that we are finishing a very successful year in our school life. When we return next year as Juniors, we hope to lead as successful a year as this one. Grace Sterling. Twenty-five

E. McFarland Class Motto Verdant but Unbowed Class Flower “Pansy Class Colors Blue and Gold CLASS HISTORY The Freshman class is by far the largest class ever assembled at California Polytechnic. There are students in it from all over the state of California, and also a few from Mexico, one from Spain, and one from Germany. On September 18. 1926. the Freshman assembled at the Civic Audi- torium for the annual Freshman Reception, which proved to be a gala affair. With much relief to some, it was learned that we were to receive no ill treatment from the hands of the upper classmen, but, alas, we rejoiced too soon. We were required to reline the football field and later to get the track in condition. More than one weary Frosh leaned upon his hoe handle in despair. February 11, 1927. the Freshmen put their best foot forward, by giving a dance for the Santa Barbara basketball team. The hall was decorated in the class colors, blue and gold, and presented a very pretty aspect. It was proclaimed a great success by all present. Although we were the lowly Frosh. we managed to hold our own by defeating the Sophomores and by playing a good game with the Seniors in the interclass basketball games. We furnished two of the star players of the school basketball team. Rust and Schreiber. Individually we have had our ups and downs. We look forward with happy anticipation to our remaining three years at California Polytechnic. Balfour Craig. Ernie Britt. Twenty-seven
