to see that the two owners of this wonderful boat were Jilbur Wacobson and Larvin Mutzow. They had just returned from exploring the wilds of the Santa Maria river. By this time all of the alumni had gathered at the dock and were looking over the craft when up drove Valva DeAul and Ernando Falba in their stunning new self-propelled wheelbarrow, one of the new cardboard models. After seeing what the excitement was all about, they offered to give Jilbur and Larvin a lift up to the Gym and as might have been expected, they had no sooner settled themselves comfortably in the wheelbarrow, when all the rest piled in. Valva shifted his clutch and they were off. As they were driving along, they happened to see, walking along the road, a fellow garbed in the latest balloon tire suit, and carrying a pack on his back. This was no less than Dilliam Wuf- en, the famous Cal Wobbly. There being only twenty-five in the barrow already, he, of course, piled in with the rest of the crowd. Now that the excitement was over, Horvis suddenly remembered that he had left his wife (Fauline Pitkin) locked up in his trunk. They had come this way to save traveling expenses. Running down to the Son Andre Hotel, he brought her back, having found that she was all there. On going in to the reception room, whom should we see but Professor Sillard W. Tout, trying to take the radiovision apart to see what made all the funny pictures (it being childrens’ hour.) And there was Slaude C. Tage in the corner amusing himself with a cross-word puzzle that was printed on the wall. Then there was a clatter and a bang: a streak of yellow passed the door; a minute later, who should come in but Lorence Flee and Rable Led Pio. They looked very well after their strenuous trip in their “yellow streak.” Immediately after them came our friend, Pay Mrewer, who seemed to be arguing and there was madness in her eyes. From behind her came a shrill voice, which seemed to have its source in a lot of bundles. After the bundles had been hastily removed, we recog- nized the poor fellow underneath to be the old boy himself, Sloyd Fanders. Pay just said in her shrill voice, “Don’t mind him.” Then the usual handshaking had to begin again. During this excitement, nobody seemed to notice a very silent figure come walking in the door. He was no other than Seorge Gullivan. Then in came our Class President, Warl E. Lil- iams. He was soon talking with us like any other member of the class of ’28. Here we were as we were in 1028. all talking about nothing. The call was finally given and off we went to the new banquet room in the mezzanine floor of this enormous Gym. You can imagine how we felt after not having seen each other for just about 100 years! William T. Swain, ’28. The following are the graduating seniors whose pictures do not appear among the seniors but who deserve equal credit: Lloyd Marsh, from Cove. Washington, yvho took an Aeronautics and Mechanics course; Rene O’Bry- ant, from Santa Barbara, and post graduate of Poly, who took Agriculture; George Sullivan, from Arroyo Grande, another Aeronautics student; and Samuel McBane, from Santa Maria, who is another Mechanics student.

FORWARD! “Our fighting spirit!” we cry. “And what does it profit?” we are asked. With an enrollment half again as large as necessary to make it legal, our new Junior College has been launched. Statistics of enrollments in other departments are equally encouraging—even the faculty boasting ten additional members. Homecoming day marked the moving of the first shovel of dirt for Crandall Gymnasium. The new dormitory. Heron Hall, and the Electrical Engineering Building have also become realities this year, and stakes on the hill mark the place where the president’s home will soon stand. For our two-year building program, a total of $187,975 has been voted us by the State for additions, betterments, and structural improvements. Of this amount, $1 GO,000 goes for the new buildings and the remainder for irrigation, a fire protection system, an extension of the sewer system, and for water storage. In addition to this appropriation, our total estimated regular expenditure for this year has been $158,700. Not the least indication of the Polytechnic spirit of progress is the Glen-Mont, christened March 17. This superb monoplane, which made its first flight on the afternoon of March 27. 1928, is believed to be the first ever built by students anywhere. The gift from the Federal Navy Air Station at San Diego of a $20,000 Martin Monoplane, together with four motors valued at $27,644, is in itself something of which to be proud, Poly being the only school of its size and type to receive such a donation. The Ags brought home thirteen first prizes and one-hundred-eight dollars in cash from Riverside, and later captured various ribbons elsewhere. Both band and orchestra have increased in quality and activities, and the band in size. Moreover, an entirely new musical organization, the Nite Hawks, has been formed. That the recently created art department is a capable one is denoted by the art work in this El Rodeo. The academic department boasts of new teachers, new courses, great- er emphasis on scholarship, and three new clubs as well: the Spanish Club, the Press Club, and Zeta chapter of Omega Xi Alpha, an honorary collegiate journalistic fraternity which, because it includes eight other California colleges, will further our journalistic associations with other schools. The Parakeet, the first strictly literary magazine ever published on the California Polytechnic campus, also appeared this year, and speaks for our journalistic alertness, as do the increased size and frequency of the Poly- gram and the cover and contents of this second issue of El Rodeo. With sincere appreciation for their cooperation, the staff presents these evidences of Poly’s fighting spirit to our friends both here and elsewhere. Especially do we recognize the cooperation and support of Dr. Crandall, Miss Chase, Senator C. C. Baker. Assemblyman Chris Jesperson, State Director of Finance, A. R. Heron, the State Board of Control, and the State Department of Education.
