THE CLASS OF 1936 In 1934 and 1935 many freshmen enrolled at Poly to take a three- or a two-year course of instruction in their chosen field. Unfortunately only a limited number could stay on and graduate. Obstacles of various kinds interfered to make further education an impossibility to this group. To some the “grind ” was too much, to others finances interfered, and they had to go to work, while to others came the realization that their field of endeavor here was not to their liking, and so dropped out to try again at something else. These men contributed their share to school life and the graduating class takes this means of once more greeting them. Bob Christensen was elected president of the class of ’36, and headed their destinies for that year. Bob was very active throughout his two years at Poly, managing the student store for that period and presiding over the student body meetnigs in ’36. Charles Blecksmith, Baldwin Reinhold, Bernard Butcher, Lloyd Smith, Edward Berghius, Fred Bradley, John Gilli, Harry Linville, and Robert Townsend were among the prominent members of the class. These men were noted on the campus for many things. Blecksmith had the snappy gray and red model “A” roadster and Miss “Poly Royal” to escort. He was secretary of the Student Affairs Council and was active in a good many projects. His future work will probably be in some aeronautical endeavor. Baldwin Reinhold needed his car because Paso Robles can be a long way off when visited at least once a week. He was a fine high jumper and financial expert, having been treasurer of the Student Affairs Council. He was president of the Aero Club for two years and led other clubs as well during this time. Bernard Butcher did lots of work behind the scenes, as he was vice- president of the student body in “36” as well as being in charge of impor- tant dances and publications for the student body and Future Farmer organization. Lloyd Smith ran the mile—between Poly “Y” meetings—Aero classes and Student Affairs Council meetings. “Rassler” also was president of the Poly “Y” in ’36. Edward Berghius left school about a month before graduation to take an excellent job, and his leaving gave the vice-president of the Polyphase club the chance to act in his absence. Fred Bradley was probably the best all-around athlete in his class. Basketball, baseball and a little football and track filled out his program of physical development. Fred was quiet, but an excellent worker and therefore was forever on committees. Landscaping is his major interest in life. John Gilli was small but capable. As president of the Future Farmers, he kept a “turbulent section of the old west” under his thumb. He also played with steers and football players to keep in good trim. Harry Linville, muscular adonis of the campus, was president or com- Cnullnued to end of Graduate Pictures
