SOPHOMORES Officers Frank Abbott.................President Edward Smith.......Vice-president Ellen Margaret Truesdale. Secretary Delia Erving.................Treasurer Class Advisors Miss Ix?ah Gene Kraemer. Mr. John O. Ball. Mr. Elmer Dunning. Class Colors Red and White. Class Motto “Victory Through Effort.” Class Flower Sweat Pea. The students who were graduated from the green awkwardness of the Freshman Class of last year returned this year to Poly to take their place in school events as Sophomores. At our first meeting we elected our officers as stated above. Our treasurer left school at the first of the year, so Delia Erving was appointed to fill his place. The Sophomores willingly supplied their share of athletes; we were well represented in football, with two first team heroes being sophomores and others offering promising material, while several of our boys went out for track. The Sophomores gave their annual dance at the Civic Auditorium on the evening of March Oth. The hall was prettily decorated in the class colors, red and white. The “Nite-Hawks,” our school orchestra, furnished the music. It was generally conceded to have been one of the most enjoyable social occasions of the school year. Student activities claimed the attention of many of our class. The B. S. Q. was composed largely of Sophomores whose oratorical talents won many a debate. Many Sophomores also engaged in Dramatics and repre- sented our class in the Hand and Orchestra and Glee Club. Although some of us have at times donated our services to the state, and others have seen our grades go toboganning down-hill, still we feel that we are a class of which we may well be proud, and look forward happily to assuming the dignity of upper classmen next year.

ALUMNI Homecoming has been observed every year at Polytechnic since the organization of the California Polytechnic Alumni Association in 1907. At present, there are two divisions of the Association: the Northern division, having its headquarters in Oakland, and the Southern division, with head- quarters in Los Angeles. The returning Alumni of this year were royally entertained at a rally, banquet, game and dance. They were privileged to see Dr. Crandall break first ground for the new Gymnasium. 1927 We find the Class of 1927 have been occupied in many various ways, some returning to Poly as P. G’s., others working in San Luis Obispo, some married, and others at other schools and working in other towns and cities. Those who are found taking a P. G. course at Poly are: Leonard Sinclair and George Isoln, aeronautics; Willard Fairbanks, academic; and Rene O’Bryant, agriculture. Raymond Boysen is employed as driver of the agriculture truck and Pete Travcr is now assistant instructor at the machine shop. Harris Miller is connected with the Mission Taxi, San Luis Obispo. Roy Bradley delivers your groceries to your door from the Safeway. One may find Ixiuis Morganti at the San Luis Obispo Chrysler Agency any time. And, of course, we find two girls have taken the fatal step. Lucille Sterling is now M rs. H. Hankenson, and is at home to any of her Poly friends at her home in San Luis Obispo. She whom we knew' as Jennie McClellan is now Mrs. Fred Miller of Atascadero. We find Shirley Dunning using her Poly spirit on a post-graduate course at the San Luis High School.
