 EL RODEO' X HARBERT RICHARDS Citrus J. C. '27. Harb left school on completing his agri- culture course to take over a ranch in Bar- stow. He was the Senior President for one semester. GERALDINE COWELL Manteca Hi ’26. “Jerry” has been a great help on the Polygram staff. She thought of all the “wisecracks” in Poly Crackers. “Jerry” was also one of the linotypists. JOHN HANNA Burbank Hi ’26. John seems to be real necessary to the “Ags.” What will they do when he leaves? He makes a real attractive Drum Major. Don’t you think so? LESTER ANDERSON Fort Bragg Hi ’27. One of the most cheerful occupants of the campus. He is an Electric student. Lester spends a great deal of his time in the Pontiac coupe. JOHN DOSER Atascadero ’25. He is very quiet and a well liked fellow. He makes it a point not to exert himself in studying English. But why should he? ARMOND BARTON Hanford Hi ’26. He is an Auto student and ought to do something to prevent his good looks. We’re sure he would make a good cook for he has been batching the past year. ELLSWORTH ANDERSON San Luis ’25. Andy is the mighty midget mechanic of the campus. You could always see him most any noon playing handball.

 EL SENIORS 7 x RODEO Officers President..... Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurer..... ...Roger Burum .....John Doser Geraldine Cowell ....John Hanna Colors Purple and Gold. Class Motto “It Can Be Done.” Class Flower Bougainvillea. Advisers Dr. Ben R. Crandall. Miss Hope Jordan CLASS HISTORY We came to Poly in 1928, a bunch of happy-go-lucky Freshmen. Fresh- men have a lot to learn, as we soon found out. We were the largest class to enrol! for several years past, our number being one hundred and twenty-five strong. In our infancy we made a good showing in athletics. We were well represented in all the major sports of the school. In base- ball we surely knew our stuff. We beat the Senior team, thus winning the championship. When we looked back over our Freshmen year, we were very proud of our record, and determined to make our Sophomore year even a bigger success. As Sophomores we made our motto of “It can be done ’ This motto we determined to live up to, and we did. In our Junior year we retained our motto of “It can be done.” We were seventy members this year, but many of our fellow students have been showing their ability in all branches of school activities. This class furnished the student-body yell leader. This year, as Seniors, many members of our class have participated in the various school organizations and in athletics. In the middle of the year our president, Harbert Richards, left school, and the vice-president, Roger Burum, became president, his position being filled by John Doser. Senior ditch day was he!d on April 16, at Atascadero Lake. Although now we have reached the goal for which we have been striv- ing. we are all sorry to leave our dear old Alma Mater. Dorothy Hyer, ’29.
