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.

 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.

 HAROLD ERNST (Ernest) Paso Robles High '26. Boy this is a hot uke—stomp, stomp. Whenever you hear this, it’s usually Harold with one of his jazz spasms. But then we’re happy that he has the musical ability that he has. Most of us were very surprised one assembly period to find that we had such a baritone in which to take pride. JOHN BROMMER (Baldy) Amador High '26. What, no huskiness? Well, I’ll say! If you don’t believe us, ask someone who play- ed against him in football. Baldy also was one of the very enthusiastic workers on the monoplane of which we are so proud and was a regular pack horse and hoist when it cume to moving it. MAY PREWER Porterville High '25. Please, May, may we have some more butter. May? This is what she has to listen to every day. being an ardent worker, see- ing to it that the Aud boys get their proper diet of beans. It’s no wonder that the boys at the Aud never complain. May needs to be given due credit for making possible this edition of El Rodeo. WILLIAM SWAIN (Billy) Marysville High '26. Billy is our piano player in the Cal Poly Nite Hawks. Oh, he's quite a jazz player and helps pep up our dances. You could almost always see him with his nose in a text book. Well, Seniors have to live up to being called such. RUSSEL CARTER (Nick) San Luis High '26. There goes the old pig skin. And that’s not all that we can say for him. Nick has been one of our best athletes, to say nothing about studying and other activities about the campus. Nick’s what we call “The real athletic type.” CAROLYN MERCER (Carol) Glendale High ’26. Another right-hand person for Miss Carse and the Polygram, being always ready to chase down a story. She too has l een a hard worker on El Rodeo and Editor of our first “Parakeet.” We’ll miss her great- ly if she doesn’t return.
