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
