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.

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

We did our various duties, such as lining the football field and working over the track with a ready enthusiasm. We beat the lusty Sophomores in the annual interclass game and scored against the Seniors. Several members of our class were prominent in athletics, and the majority enjoyed many hours labor for the Captain. A very creditable dance won us a great deal of praise. In fact we lived up to our motto “Verdant but Unbowed” quite well. In our Sophomore year we chose another motto, “Victory through Effort.” Under this flaring banner we branched out so that we had recog- nition not only in athletics, but in music, publications, dramatics, debate and many other activities. With the overwhelming success of our first dance fresh in our minds, we were able to invite the student body to another lovely party, sponsored by a more experienced group. As Juniors we realized that recommending grades are valuable at college, so this year’s leisure time was spent a little more conservatively, with more thought for studies. During our last year, we dabbled in everything because we wanted to make it an outstanding one in our memories. Our girls number six. but they make up in quality what they lack in quantity. The class is especially honored in that they are the last class to have girl graduates, for a while, at least.
