 MARVIN LUTZOW (Lutzow) Owens Valley High '24. “Spectacles,” said Marvin. Who’ll ever forget Marvin with all his bright cracks and funny stories to entertain everyone on the porch of the Science Hall every noon? No, he could never quit talking. That’s why he got good grades. He wanted to answer all the questions. WESLEY ALDERMAN (Wes) San Luis High '27. Why keep yourself hid so, Wes? We take it that he must be a rather independent guy, minding his own business. Yet we wonder if he is very quiet. If you think he is, just ask someone who takes Journalism. Maybe he can tell you the secret of it all. WILMA HA RDM ESS (Bill) Arroyo Grande High '26. Wilma, another popular student who has taken a home-making course, has partici- pated in plays and athletics, also holding offices in various clubs. You could usually see her with Avalyn and her Ford. JUTARO YAMAGISHI (Yama) Japan '25. Jutaro could always be seen playing handball every spare moment of his time; ask Captain if you don’t l elieve us. He’ll probably go back to Japan and show the boys how to play handball. We can imagine him as an artist or designer. Jutaro is the boy who doesn’t like vacations. EMMETT SCHUYLER (Master Mechanic) Lompoc High ’26. Emmett must have an aeroplane. How else could he take that long trip to Mexico with his friend? They probably will have a flying field there and put into practice what they learned from I’op Warren and Monty. The only thing that is bothering us is, how can he play his accordian and hang around the kitchen? WILLARD STOUT Corvallis High ’25. Don’t you wish you knew how to study like Willard can? Yes, I’d say. All he gets is ones. Once, I believe, he got a two, and he thought he was doomed. We’re mighty proud to have fellow students that really know something.

NELSON BROWN (Skipper) Tulare High '26. Nelson’s going to buy an aeroplane to take all of his lady friends riding. There is a chance to sell the new monoplane. If you don’t know who Nelson is, look at the snap page. He’s the handsome guy in the pajamas. EARL WILLIAMS Lindsay High ’26. Earl has been quite popular while here, being editor of last year’s El Rodeo and holding many offices in the most popular clubs of the school. If you don’t know it— he is the Senior president too. GRACE STERLING San Luis High ’25. Grace deserves much credit for helping in the Art work and successfully filling the position of both snaps and joke editor in this edition of El Rodeo. The cover of The Parakeet is of her design. Her dra- matic and social talents are well known and much used. WILBUR JACOBSON (Ike) Corcoran High ’24. ••Ike’’ was forever pestering certain girls at noon, not out of the ordinary for a boy. He was so wrapped up in electricity that he took the girls to electric class with him. In the future we will read in the news- papers about Mr. Jacobson’s rise to presi- dency of the San Joaquin Light and Power Company. WILLIAM FREDERICKSON (Sparky) Sacramento High ’23. A pair of pliers in one pocket, a wrench in another, spikes on his feet and a big leather loop hanging from his belt. Can you guess? It’s “Sparky the electrician.’’ “More power to you” is his motto. Did you ever hear any of his jokes? You’ve missed something if you haven’t. « DENNIS GREGORY (Greg) Laton High '26. Tall is he and sober. He can smile and when he does, he shows all his ivories. In his work he is thorough so a great future awaits him in the electrical world. You could always see him lugging his big trom- bone across the campus.

fi WILLIAM DUFFEN (Bill) Sonoma High '26. Another one of our athletes is William. He has been out for football and, most of all, he has been one of our track stars, bringing home many beautiful awards. DufTen is also much interested in explor- ations to unknown lands. Watch him in the future. ORVIS HOTCHKISS (Hooch) San Luis High '24. We want “Hooch!” So does someone else. He has l ecn popular everywhere on the •v. athletic field and just as successful as popular. Hooch has held many offices in clubs and has been very faithful to the band and orchestra. PAULINE FITKIN Edmonton Technical High '25. Another member of the Galley Slaves and Print Shop gang is Pauline. She helped set most of the type for this issue of El Rodeo and served last year as Joke editor. She was also a very able secretary of the Senior class. FLOYD SANDERS Porterville High '26. Floyd has always been busily employ- ed in his out-of-school hours. But, we do know that he is a very faithful member of “Pop” Smith's band and orchestra, and when it comes to playing the baritone— well, you’ve heard him, and know he is a “whiz” at it. CLAUDE STAGE (Stage) Jackson High ’26. Quite the heart-breaker, old l oy! What, you don’t think so? The old saying, “Still water runs deep.” Maybe it’s a good thing you were real studious and went to Miss Jordan’s room each morning to study before the bell rang, l ecause you know how few girls there are, and how many boys. JOE LEWIS (Jew) . San Luis High ’24. Why call him Jew? He doesn’t act like one when it comes to treating to shows and candy at noon. We suppose that when Jew comes back to visit Poly, he’ll skid around the Ad building—just for old re- membrances, even if he may not have the same car.
