THE JUNIOR COLLEGE DIVISION This is the sixth and last anniversary of the Junior College division of the California Polytechnic. With twelve men graduating from the Junior College this year and twenty-seven from previous years makes a total of thirty-nine students that Polytechnic has helped to prepare in their battle against the world. William J. Cooper, state director cf education in 1927, knew the need for a Junior College specializing in vocational education. It was through his efforts that a charter for a Junior College division was given this school. Many students came here with a desire to obtain more technical know- ledge and skill than the vocational high schools provided but did not desire to take too theoretical a course. They gained skill from the vocational work and the subjects of college grade gave them a broad foundation for future growth. The California Polytechnic has excellent shops and laboratories as well as the proper atmosphere for the development of the trained worker. With a corps of teachers devoted to the principles and practices of voca- tional education the students are bound to succeed. The Junior College division has been growing steadily since its begin- ning in 1927. Due to not having sufficient funds to continue their school work several of the men who could have graduated this year were unable to do so. Enrollment in the entire division has been somewhat lower than last year. In addition to the graduating class of the Junior College, two other class groups were organized consisting of those beyond high school age. One group was the Junior College sophomores. This class consisted of those students who had completed a year of junior college work at the California Polytechnic school or elsewhere and were matriculating in their second year but would not graduate from the Junior College. The second group consisted of all those who had graduated from high school and had not completed a year of Junior College work at the Califor- nia Polytechnic school or elsewhere. These were known as the Junior College freshmen. A third group which is included in this section of the book although not a Junior College division, were the high school seniors. These students included those whose credits entitled them to a high school diploma. The sheepskins were awarded by the San Luis Obispo high school in special exercises. Of the four divisions, only the Junior College graduates and the high school graduates had formal significance. The formation of the other two classes promoted friendly rivalry and built up a wholesome class spirit among the entire student body. Keen competition was developed among the Junior College classes and high school seniors in the annual Hick Day events held May 19. In addi- tion, rivalry was developed in the matter of members on athletic teams and for various student offices and activities. Pictures and activities of the final graduating class from the Junior College division of the California Polytechnic follow.
