 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.

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.

FERNANDO ALBA Berkeley High '25. We always work the hardest for what we want most. That’s why Fernando came clear from Mexico to go to school at Poly. We’re glad you came; you are so industrious and polite. We’ve always enjoyed your drawings too. ALVA DE VAUL San Luis High ’23. Can’t you just imagine seeing Alva several years from now, a quiet, good look- ing man farming in some prosperous neigh- borhood with his family? One thing is sure; he can be a success if he keeps up his good work as well as he has while here. FLORENCE LEE (Flossie) Tulare High '2fi. Flossie, good-natured and ready to do anything for you. has been a very ardent worker on our publications, doing almost all of the typing and a lot of writing for them. She has been the only girl in the orchestra, band and sax band, but she makes up for the rest because she plays so many instruments. PABLO DEL RIO (Pab) Long Beach Polytechnic ’23. “Pab” is another student who is faithful to Pop Smith and his orchestra, band, and sax band, lie has very cleverly drawn many pictures for our parties and El Rodeos. You may remember that he was the able manager of the Co-op store last year. ARTHUR MADONNA San Luis High ’25. Ladies prefer blonds! And why can’t it be that? We think Arthur has more on his mind than girls. We think he likes his Ford pretty well. We can certainly say he is industrious and minds his own business. JESSIE FLEMING Fall Brook High ’27. Jessie seems to be studying for one of three things; a floriculturist, a dressmaker, or a good housekeeper for some nice old rich man. She’s from the south and who knows why she’s clear up here studying what she is and taking care of children?
