OUR ALMA MATER In the fair San Luis Valley, girt by mountains strong. Is our noble alma mater; may she flourish long! Lovely on a mound she standeth, girdled by her trees. Shielded from old Ocean’s rigor, cooled by sea borne breeze. Chorus Raise the chorus all who gather under her kind rule. Hail to thee, dear California Polytechnic School. North and South have sent us to her, town and countryside. Many crafts and interests claim us, for her arms are wide. By one feeling we’re united; a common faith we hold. Loyalty to alma mater, love for Green and Gold. V

The year 1930 sees the second class graduating from the California Polytechnic Junior College. Last year there was one graduate; this year there are two. Let us hope that the future shows this to be an arithmetical rather than a geometrical progression. A student is eligible for graduation from the Junior College after two years of college work, provided, however, that certain requirements in subject matter and grades are met. Many students find it necessary to take work in the high school division to provide a foundation for their college course, and hence are unable to graduate in two years. Some may fail to satisfactorily pass one or two subjects, while others neglect to arrange for required subjects in their course. For all these reasons, and due also some- what to the fact that our Junior College has been established only three years, the graduating class is rather small. In future years, as the Junior College grows and improves, we may confidently expect them to be much larger. Graduating from Polytechnic Junior College means a good deal more than merely completing the first two years of college work. The men are turned out ready to fill responsible positions in the world, and although they may continue with advanced work if they desire, the majority of the graduates are expected to go directly into their life work.
