To the Students: In years to ccme, you will all have many pleasant memories of your college life at California Polytechnic. The purpose of the El Rodeo is to bring back to your memory, by word and by picture, the many friends and activities with which your college life was associated. You who are graduating—may this be a separation in distance only. You should still remain a part of California Polytechnic by affiliation with the alumni organization in the district to which you go. We will always welcome you back—just as warmly at any time of the year as at Homecoming. Keep in contact with us, so that we may reach you to advise vcu of opportunities for professional advancement, or of campus happenings. Each year, a few alumni become “lost” to us because they do not advise us of new addresses. You who are returning—may you enjoy another year at your Alma Mater. We are looking forward to another year of growth and progress. We cannot achieve either, without your help. JULIAN A. McPHEE, Director. Front Row: Earl Don host. I Ingmar Goold. Alice M. Panic!.

The Faculty Club of the Cahfornia Polytechnic School is both a social and a professional organization. It provides the faculty and the adminis- trative staff members with a medium for recreational activities such as dinners, picnics, card parties and dancing. The first social event of the year was held at the Cambria Lodge where a large group, including the new and old members of the faculty and their wives, office force, and regional supervisors of agriculture education for the State of California, joined together for the annual dinner to welcome the new members to our midst. Mr. Beck acted as toastmaster of the evening and the new faculty members put on a dandy bit of entertainment follow- ing the dinner. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing cards. Another social event of the club has been the meeting once a month in our California Polytechnic School Social Room for an evening of entertain- ment. The program has been that of designating each meeting as a “State” night such as Oregon night, Iowa night, etc. The members of the faculty who have come from these states put on a program depicting the activities of the part of the country where they were from. The meetings also in- cluded bridge, petlro and cribbage which were followed each time with a feed. The second dinner of the school year was held at Hotel Paso Robles where a goodly number of the faculty were present.The dinner was enjoyed by all and was carried on without a regular program. After the dinner, bridge was the program for the remainder of the evening. The last social function of the year is to be the annual Barbecue, which will be held at one of the picnic grounds of the county. Each year the Faculty Club sponsors a float in the San Luis Obispo Fiesta. This year is to be no exception and again we hope to have one that is representative of the school. WHEN EARTH’S LAST PICTURE IS PAINTED When earth’s last picture is painted And the tubes are twisted and dried, When the oldest colours have faded. And the youngest critic has died, We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it— Lie down for an aeon or two. Till the Master of All Good Workmen Shall put us to work anew. And those that were good shall be happy; They shall sit in a golden chair; They shall splash at a ten-league canvas With brushes of comets’ hair; They shall find real saints to draw from— Magdalene, Peter and Paul; They shall work for an age at a sitting And never be tired at all! And only the Master shall praise us. And only the Master shall blame; And no one shall work for money, And no one shall work for fame; But each for the joy of the working. And each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It For the God of Things as They are! —Rudyard Kipling. CLASS HISTORY For some, the Senior Class of 1937 began its memorable career in the fall of 1934 while for others, the beginning was the fall of 1935. Still others began their quest of knowledge at mid-year. Regardless, however, of the beginning date, the date of departure has been set for June 11, 1937. To the Seniors, this date is one of significance, for although it terminates their school career, one which has furthered their knowledge both techni- cally and socially, it also means that their aims at school have been fulfilled and that a new career, that of a working citizen, has begun. During the time spent by the Class of 1937 at Cal Poly, many changes, all for the good of the school were brought into being and were put into use. The student store was revamped to bring better service and more necessities and luxuries to the campus. Many new buildings were built and the long-sought swimming pool was started. A new curriculum was inau- gurated, making it possible to apply the credits earned at Poly on a course to be completed at some other State College. In this manner a degree was made possible. There were many members of the present class active in social and student affairs. Sam Ragan was elected Yell Leader during his first semes- ter and continued to be in the spot light for the remainder of his stay at Poly. Marcel Layous, the big boy of the class, was the student body presi- dent. Chuck Blecksmith was student body secretary and interested in stu- dent activities. Dick Barret will be remembered for his showings made at the Stock Shows. Leo Young was active in all affairs and was the motive force behind this fine Annual. The class includes many fellows of outstand- ing ability in Athletics. Bob Hathaway will always be remembered for his outstanding ability in all the major sports. Ed Lauppe was on the Baseball Team while John Gilli was a small pack of dynamite in Football. Lindsay Boggess and “Dutch” Butcher were always active in student affairs and had a very big part in the success of the Poly Royal. The class can boast several flyers in Bill Lincoln, Ed Lauppe, Merril Rush, Bob Hathaway and Floyd Long. All of this group except Hathaway either owned or owned an interest in an airplane. Several of the students of the class were fortunate enough to obtain jobs prior to graduation so they took advantage of the opportunity and left school to take the jobs offered them. Bill Imhoff, Sam Ragan, Kauko Hallikainen, Frank Clement, and Leo Young were the fortunate ones. As the time for graduation approached a reality, the class was organized. The officers chosen were Chuck Blecksmith president, and Sam Ragan secretary and treasurer. Due to the fact that Sammy left prior to gradu- ation, his office was taken over by Pete Giampaoli. The Senior Class of 1937, taken as a whole, was very active in student affairs and activities and was also scholastically noted, many students showing outstanding grades and abilities. We feel that the showings made by the class and partciularly those who have taken very active interest in the affairs of the school will be long remembered and that the Class of '37 is one that Cal Poly can well be proud of.

The job of compiling and collecting the in- formation that results in this book is the result of many hours of hard, tedious labor by the entire staff. Perhaps the artists deserve special credit for the extra time and work put forth in their projects. Those individuals who made this annual a reality by giving of their time and ability are: Alvin Candee, in charge of the graduate section; Carl Tuni- son, in charge of organizations; Fred Bradley, in charge of Athletics; Ed Wiley and Pat Shea, in charge of Art; Wilbur Kinney, as business man- ager; Evins Naman as assistant editor, and Leo Young as editor. The business force, with Howard Boltz as advertising manager deserves a great deal of credit for the marvelous work accomplished in selling ads. First row. from the left: R. Hiocca. L. Stcnnctt. R.

The student memberhip includes the President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, with two members representing the Agricultural Division and two representatives from the Industrial Division, there is also one representative from the band. All recognized cmapus organizations are allowed to have one represent- ative for every twenty-five students in the Club. The recognized campus organizations are: Aero Club, Poly Phase Club, Future Farmers of Amer- ica and the Band. Membership in all cases is obtained by popular vote in Club meetings. All important Student Body business is considered by the Student Af- fairs Council before it is presented to the Student Body for final vote. New constitutional laws and by-laws originate in this body and are passed upon before they can be presented to the Student Body. In addition to sponsoring Student Government the Student Affairs Council handles Student Body expenses, sponsors Student Body Dances and all other similar activities. During the Spring Semester more dances were wanted and to make an even distribution of the task of decorations and planning the Student Af- fairs Council recommended that each Club put on a dance. This plan was very successful and quite an array of decorations were used. A topic of lengthy discussion in the Student Affairs Council this year was the buying of two signs to be installed between Poly and town in order to make the route clearer for tourists and Poly searchers. Much detail was gone into and many plans were drawn up. One of the most discussed points during the year was the advisability of allowing Clubs to give pay dances and the admittance of the public to our College dances. Both Club dances and outside admittance was voted down by a close vote. This year is the first time that Poly has sent a delegate to the Pacific- Student Presidents Association held in Fresno May 19 to 21. Another important step taken by the Student Affairs Council was the recommendation and adoption of a permanent school ring. This ring may be purchased by students having completed their first year at Poly as well as members of the Alumni Association. The Student Affairs Council signed a five-year contract with the Herff-Jones Company for this ring. First row, from left: L. Bokiccs . L. Vanoncini, C. Atcbashian, (5. J atria, D. Barrett, M. Rush.

John Gilli ........ Lindsay Boggess Jim Stanton ....... President Vice-President .... Secretary .... Treasurer The Block “P” Club is an athletic society composed of students who have earned an athletic award in a major sport. These are football, basketball, baseball, and track. The athletic managers and yell leader are given asso- ciate membership but do not have the right to hold office. The purpose of the Club is to support student body athletics, to create good, clean sportsmanship in athletics and to create an interest in the student body activities around the campus. The Club held many activities during the year the most important being the barbecue for the football players at the first of the year. Speeches were given by several of the players on their trip to Arizona and the Grand Canyon. The Club took over the selling of candy and ice cream during the foot- ball games with the proceeds going into the athletic fund. The first week in December found the new football lettermen going through their initiation. There were the usual number of paddles out with the old members making very good use of them. There were also a few new members wearing dresses which proved very embarrassing for those who had to appear downtown. The initiation was ended with their public appearance downtown giving speeches and rubbing their noses in the sidewalk. The annual Block “P” Dance was held February 13 in the Gymnasium. It was the most successful dance ever held by the Club and a good time was had by all. The annual trip to Arroyo Seco was he’d May 22 and 23, Saturday and Sunday. The main purpose of the trip was to end the initiation of new lettermen in basketball, baseball and track which started at the first of the week. Afterwards swimming and hiking were enjoyed and everybody had a good time except some of the new members', who took plenty of punishment. Front row. from loft: M Kush. H. I.nnu, G. Had, O. Dusina, S.

Vice-President Leo Young: Secretary-Treasurer Jespersen Dormitory, named in honor of Senator Chris. N. Jespersen, has been ably supervised by M. C. Martinsen since 1934. This year, due to the addition of many new courses in the institution, every room was filled. As has been the case in preceding years, the fellows had their sportive moments. Quite naturally there were many unexpected baths taken by several of the fellows who, for some reason, aroused the desire within fel- low tenants to play. Of course this type of punishment was of the mildest form—but we need not go into detail. All dormitory meetings are held in the comfortable lounge located on the lower floor of the building. The lounge also serves as a recreation room and many pleasant hours are spent there in reading, playing cards, chess, or checkers. It has been observed that some of the boys play cards so much they shuffle when they walk (only a rumor of course). The old and famous “Bull Session” is still unsurpassed as a means of spending a pleasant evening and this vice is indulged in quite often. There have been as many as sixteen (count them) fellows in Shirey’s room at one time and, when “Mart” walked in, the fog was so thick he couldn’t recognize one of them. Naturally Ragan’s voice soon gave him away and “Mart” called a recess. Although the boys do have their fun, many long hours of hard study are spent during the evening and the dormitory is usually kept very quiet under a mutual agreement amongst the fellows. Life, as we spend it in our dormitory, is very enjoyable, and is a memory to be cherished by all. First row, Iron� leit: F Pugh, L. Rogers, F. Bradley, (I. Sncrz, E. Schv.under, N. liiikes, S.

The purpose of the Chase Hall club is to bring the different groups of students into closer harmony. The club meetings, which are governed and run by the students themselves, are held in the lounge on the lower floor. Th club has its own representative, Frank Pugh, on the cafeteria-dormi- tory committee. Frequently the boys get a little too boisterous whereupon Capt. J. C. Deuel, our well-spoken and beloved head, calmly stops the row. Some things that have happened throughout the year: “Bull Sessions” in Lynn’s room. Barney polishing everybody’s shoes. Jagla’s singing the “Martins and McCoys.” Bradley’s expression when he loses something. And here’s something else— What would happen if: Foster got up early some morning? Null didn’t nose out all the food in the dorm? Cook stayed up until nine o’clock some night ? Huber ever got the Packard running? Lynn and Tomei agreed ? “Peanuts” Rogers and “Punk” Fowler used their own soap? “Social Register Peach Fuzz” left the women alone? This year, although not without trials and hardships, has been a very happy one for all of us, and we have made friendships that will last throughout our lives. Front row. from left: R. Kobayoshi, J.

Heron Hall was the second Dorm to be built on the campus. It was built in the summer of 1928 and named in honor of Alexander Heron, who was deputy director of education for the State of California. “Pop” Smith, superintendent of Heron Hall, usually had a hard time with “his boys” in keeping them under control, so this year he decided to let the boys govern themselves. He got together with the executive com- mittee and plans were made. A committee composed of Simon Simonian, Antone Stam, James Cox, Bernard Flower, and the executive committee was appointed to keep the dormitory in order at all times. This plan was working throughout the school year and proved very successful. Heron Hall is the only dormitory that has this sort o f student self-government. “Pop” likes to go around every morning and awaken every person per- sonally. He says he gets a big kick out of it, but it is the fellows that usually get the kick. He found out that if he rang the bell every morning, which was customary, that many fellows missed their breakfast or first period classes. There are still many things that happen around the dorm that can’t very well be controlled by anyone, such as: Jim Cox and his candid camera. Chauncey McDonald and Howard Hudson always lying in bed. “Fish Cake” Hallikainen always phoning. “Smudge Pot” Schweizer always talking about Carpinteria. Frank Clement always headed towards town. Everyone dashing down to the lounge room every morning to read the funny paper. With all the clowning that gees on there is always a friendly feeling of each fellow towards everyone. The dormitory club has brought each stu- dena in the dormitory in closer contact with each other so that the life at California State Polytechnic will be remembered by every fellow in Heron Hall.

Deue who has been with Poly since 1920, had not been used immediately previ- ous to this year, but due to the growth in the number of students it was re- occupied this year. The new chemistry and physics professor. Dr. Robert D. Brown, better known as “Doc,” has been the superintendent. Doc found he really had to use his wits to keep up with his fourth of the Mustangs, not to mention the cadets, who also resided in Deuel. You wouldn’t even recognize the place if you walked in and didn’t hear “Doc” saying, “Laux, the sooner I find out who set fire to the waste-paper basket and turned out the light, the better it will be for you guys.” Or, for a little variation, he might be down in DuBois’ room, saying “Songbird Hughett, I’ll give you just thirty seconds to get into your own room, and what are you other five fellows doing here?” Then as you pass through the lounge, you find that Dave Ai has just bid six hearts at a game of bridge, and only made two tricks, and Sammy Samalar is telling him how he should have done it. If such a thing as monotony was threatening, Bjurman could always be counted on to let out a cheerful little “Wahoo,” which would wake up even Null, the janitor. Since Deuel was “Doc” Butler’s local hangout, he spent much of his spare time showing the fellows how to play checkers. He not only won the checker tournament, but bought the dorm a new checker board to rub it in. The battle of the century was played between the “Doc’s. For information regarding the outcome, see them. For the latest in music, Millard Watson is the lad. He not only plays the piano for the Cal Poly Collegians but raises cain in the lounge room. It is very doubtful if he really knows how to play, but he can swing “it. The last quarter found many of the fellows on their last legs. Take Paul Pitt for example, he used up more candlepower than ever, while the other two stoogies, Grant Thorne and “That’s My Roommate Powers” spent their time making more “Hay! Hay!” than ever.

President Howard Hudson .........Vice-President Emile LaSalle .......... Secy.-Treas. Gamma Pi Delta is the only honorary organization on the campus and is composed of students of agriculture who are voted to membership on a basis of scholarship, leadership, and project achievements. The organization got under way early this school year and as a result, have had a very active and interesting year. There was an enjoyable dinner dance early in the fall, held in the Moon Room of the Gold Dragon. This affair was beyond a doubt the social highlight of the year and one that none of those who attended will forget for some time to come. During the second quarter seven new members were taken in and initiated duly and thorough- ly. In the third quarter the fraternity ordered a beautiful combination key and pin and adopted it as the permanent insignia of the club. Later in the quarter more new members were taken in and initiated in the usual manner. After the initiation the second order of Fraternity keys was sent in so that the newly initiated members could wear their shiny new keys home to show their folks the honor that they had won.

The Polv “Y” is a club organized to help build character in our students so that we may set an example to others. Throughout the year we have had an unlimited number of outside speakers talk to us on topics pertaining to either of local or world wide interest. One of our most important speak- ers was Merle Waterman, who told us all about the movements of “Youth in Foreign Countries” as he saw them. We also have social events of our own; one of which was our annual trip to Cambria Pines where a great game of baseball was played and plans made for the club year, followed by a nice cool dip in the ocean. Our advisers are two men of very high character who help to further the ideals of the club; they are Capt. J. C. Deuel and Howard Christman, who is the secretary of the local Y. M. C. A.

BAND Kauko Hallikainen Leonard Frame ____ Paul Spani ....... Evins Naman ...... Fred Alley ........ .... President Vice-President ... Sec.-Treas. Drum Major .... Manage: This year’s band has made history at Poly. With an increase in size over twice the number of previous years, the hand started out by buying some very snappy uniforms which consists of white pants, orange tie, white shirt, green jacket with an attractive emblem on the back, and a cap to match the jacket. The band played at all assemblies, football and basketball games, marched in parades in San Luis Obispo, participated in Homecoming, gave a concert for Poly Royal and the F. F. A. convention, and played for grad- uation. Many fine compliments were received for the display of marchhig stunts during the halves of the football games, as well as for the fine spirit and playing of the hand throughout the year. The fine rooting and singing section which accompanied the band added a great deal to the spirit of the players and student body. Fred Alley as manager and Leonard Frame as assistant manager did excellent work in moving and assembling band equipment for the frequent engagements. Kauko Hallikainen served as clarinet soloist and president of the band. Paul Spani was secretary. The band was very fortunate in having a snappy drum major. Evins Naman was drum major, and he can really put the band through its paces. Mr. Harold P. Davidson, leader of the music department, deserves much cre- dit for what lie has done towards help- Mr. Davidson is also the director of the State F. F. A. Band. A group of the hand members made an enjoyable trip to Los Angeles and combined with the State Future Farm- er Band to play for the Great Western Livestock Show. ing the students. He has worked many long hours during the day and night in helping put over this organization. DAVIDSON NAMAN Previous to this year Cal Poly had never known what it was to have a dance band of her own, but due to the hard work and untiring efforts of cur very able director, H. P. Davidson, Cal Poly is now the proud possessor of a truly fine dance band. Our dance orchestra evolved from a get-together “jam session,” and lit- tle progress was made until the latter part of the fall semester. It was during one of these “sessions” that the group found themselves in-the- groove, or “on the downbeat,” so to speak, and with a bit of financial aid from the college they were able to procure the necessary equipment. The annual Christmas Dance held in the Poly gym was their first official public appearance, and everyone expressed deep enthusiasm and extended many compliments to the boys for their fine work. Then came the Poly Royal, the biggest dance of the year which usually calls for an outside orchestra. The fellows felt highly honored to think that the Student Body and Future Farmers deemed them capable to play for such an occasion. With this dance behind them and their confidence built up, they went to greater pains to perfect their style and technique, as well as their appear- ance by the addition of a three-colored lighting system. The Student Body then contracted them for all further student body dances and activities. The orchestra elected Jack O’Brien as its manager. Jack has proven not only a most capable manager, but an excellent student director. Much of the credit for the success of the organization is due to him. In the picture, front row: M. Watson, K.

President Pat Shea ............... Manager Peter Giampaoli Sec.-Treas. This group of young men have accomplished a “miracle” in the annals of Cal Poly’s history. From a weekly get-together under the capable direction of Harold P. Davidson there has been developed a choral society far sur- passing all original expectations, which were merely to get together for the enjoyment of a song, and the fellowship of group singing. The popularity growth of the club has been very rapid and widespread throughout S. L. O. County, and there is a constant demand at the Kiwanis, Rotary, 20-30. Exchange, and Masonic Dinner clubs for them to be the “high spot” of the entertainment program. Within this collection of good fellows we find several aspiring quartets. One, known as the tallest quartet in radio, had two N. B. C. broadcasts and numerous engagements to its credit; another has rated very highly in several contests. The future possibilities of this co-fraternity are remarkable, because the increasing competition and the selection of the “best will enable it to make many tours throughout the country next year, which will undoubtedly bring the school outstanding recognition.

President Kauko Hallikainen ..Vice-President James Cox .................. Sec.-Treas. The first regular weekly meeting this year of the Poly Phase Club was held on September 23. 1936. Bernard Flower was elected president for the first semester. Bill ImhofT viee-prsident, and Sam Ragan secretary. The activities during Mr. Flower’s term included discussions of current problems and progresses in the electrical profession, consideration of problems of particular interest to the industrial department and a trip to the Union Sugar Factory at Retteravia to inspect the electrical equip- ment in use there. The big problem that confronted the club was the merg- ing of the Poly Phase paper, “High Voltage,” into one paper representing the whole Industrial Department. The club consented to have one paper called “High Voltage, Altitude and Humidity,” which would represent each department of the Industrial Division. Charles Blecksmith was elected president for the second semester at the meeting held on December 6, 1936. Elwin Harmon was elected vice- president and Lawrence Barre secretary. Beside the regular discussions and addresses given by the members, the club was active in sponsoring electrical shows. An excellent as well as interesting show was given for the Parent-Teachers Association of San Luis Obispo. The E'ectrical Department for the first time displayed an excellent exhibit of electrical farm appliances and some electrical phenomena at the Poly Royal. The second semester initiation was a unique one owing to the fact that the new members were lodged in the city jail for a short period before the final ordeal. Sam Ragan was elected president for the third semester at the meeting held on March 17, 1937. Kauko Hallikainen was elected vice-president and James Cox secretary. The big event of the club for the semester was a three-day trip to Los Angeles to visit a radio station, two electrical factories, a typical substa- tion and a steam power plant.

President Ed Sales ..............Vice-President James McGrath ............. Secretary The Social Society of the Air Conditioning Department under the name “Alpha Gamma Epsilon” was formed, this year, of all members of the class with the instructor, R. P. Mason, as adviser. In future years the members of the society will be chosen from the members of the class by the old members of the club. When the club was organized a permanent charter was drawn up and signed by all charter members. The club made one field trip this year when the whole class made an all- day trip to Lompoc to go through the Johns-Mansville Diotomaceous Earth plant. The student had an opportunity to study the procedure in the mining and processing of this type of insulation. As a social event the club had a private dance at Morro Bay. The dance, with Bill Phelan and Reginald Brown in charge, was a great success and everyone enjoyed a pleasant evening. A beach party late in the spring completed the outside activities of the club.

The Dramatics Club this year started with a fervor of success and con- tinued to turn out finished plays before appreciative audiences. The most successful among the plays produced were “Frenzied Finance,” “Three Rogues and a Rascal,” “Sparkin’,” “The Mayor and the Manicure,” “Hero, Villian, and Everything,” and that old drama “He Ain’t Done Right by Nell.” Each play was selected and chosen for its superiority of plot and raciness of lines and was picked out by the members of the club. The club itself was a close knit, well organized group consisting of about twenty young men all interested in dramatics. Regular meetings of the club were held one night a week at which not only the practicing of the art of presenting plays was taken up, but also interesting and valuable lectures on such related subjects as stagecraft, make-up, enunciation, and diction were given by the able director, Harold P. Davidson. At a meeting of the club it was voted and approved to join a national dramatic fraternity. If this wish is carried out and a charter is awarded to the Cal Poly Dramatic Club, this will be the only national fraternity on the campus. First row. from left: M. Hinton. If. Null, A. MacKillop.

The Aero Club, composed solely of Aeronautics students, started this year with the largest number of members ever registered. With seven airplanes to repair or rebuild, the fellows had many varied types of ships with which to work. A practically brand new, but completely demolished, Stinson airplane was brought into the shop early in the year to be rebuilt. Many of the necessary drawings have been made so that work may be begun. A new type racing plane designed by a Lockheed factory engineer was brought into the shop, later in the year, for completion. This plane is to be built entirely of metal, incorporating the latest speed designs. The Aero- dynamics class, headed by Roy L. Jones, has completed an entire set of performance curves for this plane. These calculations will enable pilots and engineers to know how the ship will perform before it is built. Among many other planes, some owned by members of the Aero Club, an American Eagle airplane was completely rebuilt in the shop. This plane is to be used for instruction purposes at the local airport, and is one of the finest jobs to be turned out by the school mechanics. One of the most memorable events of the year was the Aero Club initi- ation which was held at Morro Bay. After a delicious meal and weiner roast, a never-to-be-forgotten initiation was given the freshmen who were quite hostile at the time, but who have since seen the humorous side of the occasion. Many of the students have taken, or are taking flying instruction and a number of them have proven to be very good aviators under the able in- struction of Jones and M. C. Martinsen, Jones being a transport pilot with thousands of hours of flying experience. At the conclusion of this year’s course many Aero students are planning to take positions in aircraft factories in and near Los Angeles for the summer for the purpose of gaining valuable information regarding con- struction of modern aircraft. Most of the former Aero Club members now have permanent positions with such companies as Pan-American Airways, North American Avia- tion, Douglas Aircraft, Lockheed Aircraft, and Northrop Aircraft Cor- poration.

The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of farm boys studying vocational agriculture throughout the United States. Organiza- tions are found in 47 states and in the territories of Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The purpose of this national organization is to recognize and encour- age the natural instincts and tendencies, to organize and to put enthusiasm and pleasure into work and recreation. Our chapter is the headquarters for the Future Farmer chapters in California. In our organization we have most of the boys who are study- ing agriculture at this school. The club has meetings twice a month, having an interesting program at each one of its meetings. We have numerous activities but only those which have become traditional will be mentioned. During the fall semester, the chapter held a fun night with members participating in boxing and wrestling matches. The initiation of Green- hands and Future Farmers was also done in the fall. This year the fifth Annual Poly Royal was held. It was a big success and included all the departments of the school under the sponsorship and back- ing of the Future Farmer organization. Another big job that the chapter performs every year is to act as host to the visiting high school students during the state convention of Future Farmers held each year on the campus of our school. During the spring semester, the chapter had a beach party near Pismo which everybody enjoyed. The final social event given by the chapter was the barn dance to which all members were invited, this being one of the most popular events of the year. Having finished a very successful year the chapter members are looking forward to even greater accomplishments next year. Front row. from left: F. Alley. C. Tunbon, W. Kinney, G Yotihioka, F.

President Carl Tunison .......... Vice-President Fred C. Alley..............Sce.-Treas. The Horticulture Club consists of students of Landscaping, Truck Crops and Field Crops, Orchard Problems, and Agricultural Inspection. The club has had several social events, has taken part in the Poly Royal and had a big open house demonstration. The club meets every other Tuesday in the cafeteria to discuss their plans and problems. The work of the Horticulture Club is quite varied. The Landscaping Department makes all plans for landscaping and beautifying the campus. They also do landscaping for the town homes and some of the new public buildings in town. The Truck and Field Crops group plant many acres in forage, field crops and vegetable plots. Most of the vegetables used in the school cafeteria are grown in the Truck Crop plantings. The Orchard de- partment has just completed planting a large area of plantings to decidu- ous and citrus trees and some avocado trees and also a large area of grapes. The Agricultural Inspection class studies nuts, fruits, and vegetables in connection with standardization laws and plant quarantine laws. «% 4JOPT. CLUB Front row. from left: J. Bloom (kneeling). W.

Secretary The Dairy Club was organized for the purpose of further developing the activities of the department, and is composed of students taking either the Dairy Manufacturing or the Dairy Production course. Among the numerous activities of the year were trips to the Randolph Hearst Ranch and to numerous dairies in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. The club also participated in the Santa Maria fair and conducted the County Farm Bureau Cow Testing Association. The students fitted and showed a large number of dairy animals for the Poly Royal, thus gaining experience in that line. Carl Kwasigroeh won the contest from a field of fifteen. Students own a total of twenty-five dairy animals from which they plan to raise their future herds. The Dairy Club is completely in charge of the purebred herd and milk handling plant which supplies milk for the cafeteria and faculty. First row. from left: H Lin ville, F. Alley. M. Munnckc.

AGRICULTURE INSPECTION CLUB Bill DuBois ............... President Charles Affbashian ....Vice-President Norman Brown ............ Secretary Oscar Van Horn..............Treasurer The Agricultural Inspection Club, Kappa Phi Kappa, was organized dur- ing the fall quarter of 1936 by a group of agriculture inspection students who were interested in professional improvement along the lines of their chosen field of work. The stated purposes of the organization are: 1. To bring about a closer cooperation between students and instructor. 2. To serve as a means of maintaining friendships and acquaintances of members during the years following graduation. During its first year of existence much has been accomplished. Educational demonstrations were conducted for both Poly Royal and State F. F. A. Convention. These demon- strations, pertaining to Plant Quarantine, Apiary, Standardization, Weed and Rodent Control, and Field and Orchard Inspection, were of great in- terest and value to both club members and visitors. Several trips have been taken this year by the Agricultural Inspection Club members. These trips include San Francisco, Watsonville, Visalia, Sa- linas, Santa Barbara, Carissa Plains, Los Angeles, and many local field trips about the county. Front row, kneeling, from left: H. W.

Treasurer Robert Biocca .............. Reporter A large increase in new students marked the beginning of a successful year for the Poly Poultry Producers. The first event of importance was an enjoyable turkey feed in which new members introduced themselves and told of their reasons for becoming poultrymen. An interesting speaker, from a large poultry plant, completed the program. The Poly Royal, and our part in it, the Poultry and Egg Show, next oc- cupied our attention. Two competent judges, J. E. Dougherty, editor of the Newlaid News and a prominent poultryman and judge, made the placings in the Poultry Show; and Dwight Bixby of Rosemary Farm judged the Egg Show. Competition was very keen especially in the Poultry Show, where entries were much larger this year. Entries of White Leghorns, Barred Rocks, Silkies and Bantams, all from the school plant, made a very excellent and complete show. Best bird in the show went to a Leghorn pullet. The outstanding highlight of the year was a 1000-mile trip, taken in March, through the central part of California, where we visited some of the leading poultrymen in the state.

BOOTS AND SPURS CLUB E. Bridgford ............. President E. McClure ...........Vice-President A. Laux .................. Secretary D. Barrett .............. Treasurer The Boots and Spurs Club of the California Polytechnic is composed of members of the Meat Animal Department and holds regular social and business meetings to study progressive developments in the field of Ani- mal Industry. Off campus activities of the club are primarily showing their project animals that are fed and fitted as part of the practical training in their Meat Animals course. The shows attended at which the members have an opportunity of comparing their feeding and showing ability with other breeders of the United States, primarily of the eleven western states, are the California State Fair, the Great Western Livestock Show, held at Los Angeles in the fall and the Interstate Livestock and Baby Beef Show held at South San Francisco in the spring. Accomplishments this year have been outstanding even when compared to a previous long list of successful years of participation by Boots and Spurs members. We will enumerate a few of the outstanding winnings of this year: At the State Fair, John Gilli showed his Crossbred lambs to win both Grand Champion individual and pen. In the beef division Ed Schwander and Malon Moore received Champion Awards in Angus and Shorthorn classes respectively. Swine entries made a creditable showing in exceptionally fine hog classes. Many other prizes too numerous to mention in this recital were won by Boots and Spurs members. Of eighteen head of prime fat cattle showed at L. A. sixteen head placed in strong classes entered by leading breeders and feeders throughout the western part of the United States. A Hereford Junior calf ownd by Malon Moore was placed Reserved Grand Champion of this fine show. A pen of Duroc barrows entered by Shigeo Yamana in this show were named Champion pen of all breeds for the open division. Many other fine hogs as well as sheep exhibited by club members won numerous prizes. The most interesting event of the year came next being the fifth Annual Poly Royal. Several of the State Polytechnic foundation animals were se- lected by the club members and were fitted for exhibition at the Poly Royal in regular show ring style. The prize for beef showmanship went to Marcel Layous with his Hereford steer. The prize for sheep showmanship went to Don Bullington with his crossbred lambs. The prize for hog showmanship went to Arnold Wirtz with a Poland-China aged sow. ACTIVITIES September On September fourteenth, with the largest college enrollment that the school has ever had, students from 43 California counties, from all parts of the United States and from Alaska, Hawaii and India, flooded our dormi- tories beyond their capacity. Some of the students were forced to room and board in private homes. Frosh were soon seen wearing the traditional Orange and Green caps, except for a few who were treated to a free swim in Cal Poly’s famous horse trough. Poly’s football season started with a bang. Our first game was with the Lumberjacks of Arizona State College at FlagstafT, Ariz. After a roaring send-off at 4:30 in the morning of September 25, the squad arrived at their destination early the following morning. The fellows had a very enjoyable trip, which included a visit to the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and a short stay in Los Angeles. It is rumored that Coach Howie almost lost a few of his star men at some of the dime shows, but after a careful count before starting home, Howie found all cf them to be present. We also welcomed many new faculty members during the first month of school. October All students were really getting down to work by the time of the annual reception in honor of the Freshmen.The neophytes did their part very well. One of the most enjoyable and most looked-forward to functions of the fall quarter was Homecoming. This year saw more grads roaming around the campus than for some time, in spite of the cloudburst which fell the evening before. The annual Alumni banquet and dance were a huge success. The evening was climaxed by a huge bonfire, and the Block “P” on the hill was lit by dozens of burn- ing torches. The football game in the afternoon, which attracted hundreds of spectators, was one of the classics of the year. “Howie’s” football team had been really “going to town” with the support of the student body stirred to its highest pitch by our two capable yell leaders, Ray Watts and Sam Ragan, and by the newly- uniformed band directed by Harold P. Davidson. The marching work of the band was one of the rapid accom- plishments of the fall. November Armistice Day found Coach O’Daniels’ herd of Mustangs tangling with the University of San Francisco Frosh team. This was one of our most exciting games, although we come out on the short end of the score. The yell leader and band continued to lead the student body in their support of the team. The first vacation of the year came when we went home for our Thanks- giving holidays from November 24 to 30. On Thanksgiving Day. the Mustangs defeated the Modesto Jaysee team by three touchdowns, and a fortnight later Modesto beat San Mateo Javsees and claimed the junior college championship of Northern California. The evening of the local victory, the boys who were still on the campus enjoyed a very good Thanksgiving dinner, prepared by the cafeteria force. December The California Polytechnic Quartet, Shea, Brown, Turton and Boltz, the tallest quartet in the world, sang at the National Farm Bureau Convention at Pasadena, and later on a National Network. On December 14 and 15 the Los Angeles Livestock Show took place with a large number of Poly entries. Cal Poly’s steers won over Oklahoma Agricultural College entries, thereby putting all of our boys in the highest of spirits. We then closed the curtain on the year of 1936 with a big chicken dinner in the Cafe. January The Basketball squad made their debut in January and got ofT to a roar- ing start with the Yell Leaders and the Band leading the Student Body in their support of the team. The gym was packed on January 26. with laughing rooters to watch the Broadway Clowns. The following week we had more comedy when our men challenged the House of David. These two teams are the leading hoopsters in the country. February The Block “P” Dance was one of the main features of this month on February 13th. The music was furnished by the Cal Poly newly-organized orchestra—Cal Poly Collegians—among whom the noted player “Fishcake” Hallikainen tooted to his heart’s content. We enjoyed another vacation in honor of George Washington’s birthday on February 22. Most of the boys went home, but those that remained had a good time at the beaches, hiking through canyons, or climbing mountains that surround the campus. On Feburary 26, the Student Body was entertained by the school office force. Many of the fellows’ ideas of the damsels in the office were changed after witness- ing the exhibition of tap dancing, solos and dialogues. It was one of our finest programs and we won’t be very surprised to see or hear some of them on radio in the near future, (Not much.) The coming Poly Royal was brought to our attention by a dance sponsored by the Aero Department and called the Pre- Poly Royal Dance. This was the first of a series of dances sponsored by the vari- ous clubs of the school. Our Vice-President said it would be a good way to get variety of decoration, but I think it was a better way for him to get out of work. March The Aero Club took a jaunt to Los Angeles this month to look over some factories and new type planes at the Los Angeles “Air Show.” As usual the boys took in the bright lights of the city, but they all managed to get home alive. The Fifth Annual Poly Royal, held on March 12 and 13, was without a doubt the most outstanding show that the school has sponsored. Poly Royal this year adopted the theme of “Follow Poly’s Progress.” It was felt that this would best signify the spirit of the occasion as well as bring to the attention cf the guests of the day the wonderfully progressive strides our school is making. Fea- tured attractions were the new buildings under construction or to be built in the near future. Of especial interest to the par- ticipating students this year was the large increase in prizes over that of previous years, in nearly every instance there were special prizes for first place and championship classes, all of which tended to make the competition and enthusiasm very keen. Malon Moore won the “John Gilli Trophy” for his expert showmanship in the Beef Cattle Classes; Carl Kwasigroch won the grand champion and the sweepstakes awards in the Dairy Cattle Department; and Frisbie Brown showed the grand champion bird of the Poultry De- partment. This year’s Poly Royal had many features that had not been a part of any of the other Poly Royals; outstanding among these was the cooperation given the Agricultural Division by all of the Departments of the Industrial Division. The Electrical Department worked with the Agricultural Mechanics classes in preparing cne of the most worthwhile exhibits of the show. They dis- played the newest of electrical appliances that are used on the modern farm, together with a display of electrical phenomena. The Air Condition- ing Department prepared a most interesting exhibit of heating, ventilat- ing and refrigerating equipment, much of which was student owned, the remainder was the apparatus used for instruction. The Aeronautics students showed the visitors through the various branches of their excellent department. The Adult Farm Organization Judging Contest was responsible for the presence of several hun- dred of our visitors. More teams participated than had been enter- ed heretofore making the competi- ft tion the most exciting ever. There were numerous estimating contests going on throughout the day, all with valuable prizes for the winners, which added greatly to the excitement of the day. As a fitting climax to the festivities a Coronation Ball was held Saturday e ening in Crandall Gymnasium. In a very impressive ceremony Miss Fern Porter was crowned “Miss Poly Royal” for the 1938 Poly Royal. Space permits only a very brief account of a few of the many acti- vities of this year’s show, but suf- fice it to say that all obstacles were overcome to make this a Poly Royal that will long be remember- ed by those who attended it and by those who participated in it. April This was a big month for the Electrical Department. The long looked for trip to Los Angeles was actually becoming a reality. The Poly Phase Club left on April 14th, and through the influence of Mr. Cox in Los Angeles, the group was escorted through several sub-sta- tions, the receiving station from Boulder I)am. steam plants, the million-volt lab- oratory at Cal Tech., etc. The trip proved to be a very profitable one for all both in pleasure and knowledge. On the evening of April 17 the shops and class rooms all over the campus were thrown open to the public. Several hundred visitors looked with ap- proval on the phenomenal exhibits of the industrial departments. This is the annual “Open House.” It is on this evening the Electrical Department and the Aero Department put on their best show which includes—fake lightning, making iron float on air, electrical phenomena, operation of various types of mo- tors and many other exhibits. The Aero Department exhibited their various airplanes in the pro- cess of construction and planes al- ready finished. May Each year the California State Polytechnic Chapter of the Future Farmers of America acts as host to the Convention of the State Associa- tion. There have been five such conventions held here on the Poly Campus, the one this year surpassed all others. On May 6th, the Statewide Judging Contests were held in livestock, dairy cattle, dairy products, agricultural mechanics, trees, economic ento- mology and agronomy. On May 7 and 8 the convention sessions were held. Registration figures show that there were 720 boys representing 85 high schools of the state in at- tendance, and that 665 of these were housed in the 84 tents in the quadrangle. The California Polytechnic Chap- ter were particularly fortunate in having four of their members ele- vated to the degree of State Far- mer, namely Adolph Laux, Colusa; Aldo Tognetti, King City; Emil La Salle, Norwalk; and Robert Biocca, Ventura. Clifford Bjork, representing the Cal Poly Alumni Chapter won the Public Speaking Contest and Lloyd Stennett was elected reporter of the State Alumni F. F. A. Association. The entire convention proved to be so successful due to the whole-heart- ed cooperation of the entire student body and faculty of Cal Poly. Following the convention, the Ag students had their annual “Barn Dance” on the 15th, in the stock barn. This is one of the biggest social functions of the Ags, exclusive to the Ags. Prior to the dance, one could see evidences of manhood appearing on the upper lips of a great many stu- dents, which they displayed with pride to the objects of their affection. The Block “P” trip followed on the week-end of the 29th, which is after the baseball and track season. This trip is for the purpose of initiating the new Block “P” members. On May 29th they journeyed to Arroyo Seco and returned the following day. June The first of June found many of the fellows walking around with their heads down or else sitting in corners groaning. The mere thought of the final exams caused gray hairs to prematurely spring out of some unfor- tunate’s head. But nevertheless some forty-two brave men weathered the storm for the most impressive commencement exercises the school has had. Carl Beck and Charles Knott, the heads of the Agricultural and Indus- trial Departments respectively, presented their respective graduates. The Director of the school, Julian A. McPhee. gave a very impressive talk of the progress and future activities of our ever growing school. Following Mr. McPhee, Dr. F. W. Thomas of Fresno State gave a very inspiring talk to the graduates. Leo Young and Bernard L. Butcher repre- senting the Industrial and Agricultural departmnts of the school present- ed two very interesting talks. The ceremonies were concluded by the best dance sponsored by the stu- dent body of the entire year. This concludes the highlights in the activities of the past year, a year which has been a very pleasant one to all and which will long be remem- bered. FOOTBALL Faced with the hardest schedule in the history of the school Coach Howie O’Daniels greeted a green but determined group of pigskinners and set about to mold them into one of the big Green and Gold machines. There were but seven lettermen returning and around these Howie set about to build up a team. From a rather weak machine the boys developed very rapidly and as the season rolled by they became stronger with each game. The peak of the season was reached when on Thanksgiving Day the Mustangs met and defeated the strong Modesto J. C. Pirates, cham- pions of the Northern J. C. Conference, 18 to 0. The players cannot be given too much credit and praise for the fine spirit they showed throughout the year. Injuries and minor ailments weakened the team considerably and yet in spite of these setbacks the team was all the more determined to go out and win. Those who won their letters this year were: Charlie “Wong” Cook, Oscar “Robin Hood” Van Horn, Jack “Toughy” Clark. Paul “Tarzan” Bjurman, Ed “Honeyboy” Lawrence, Ossie “Legs” Dusina, Hen- ry “the Great” Null, Stanton “Sugar” Lynn, Ed “Buck” Schwander, Jimmy “Fireball” Williams, Ben “Petty” Snow, Paul “Twinkletoes” Pitt, Charles “Chuck” Agbashian, Max “Slapsie” Hawkins, Bob “Coozie” Hathaway, George “Shorty” Silva, Bob “Goosie” Garcia, Pat “Sullivan” Shea, Bill “Curly” Dooley, Gabe “No-o” Saenz, and Dick “Ponoka” Sparks. Cal Poly 0—Arizona State 7 For the first time in the history of the school the Mustangs traveled out of the state for a football game with the Arizona State Lumberjacks. Out- weighed by their heavier opponents the State Tech boys put up a splendid battle and were finally defeated 7 -0. The Arizona touchdown came in the second period when Dushek crashed over from the seven-yard line and Pavlich converted for the extra point. In the third period the Mustangs advanced from the fifty to the five-yard line of the Lumberjacks but were unable to put the ball over the white line. Bob Garcia, stellar back, received a wrenched knee which kept him out most of the season. The whole team played heads up ball and deserve a world of credit. Front row, from left to right: G.

Bjurman, P. Pitt, C. Bjork. Cal Pcly 13—Miramonte J. C. 12 The Mustangs opened the first game of the Confer- ence against the strong Miramonte Junior College. The hoys from over the hill drew first blood when Finch threw a perfect pass to Cress, right end. who went over for the first touchdown. Finch failed to con- vert. In the second quarter Hathaway, midget quarter of the Mustangs, snagged a pass from Bill Dooley and went over for the touchdown. Shea kicked the extra point. In the third quarter Gilmore, J. C. back, returned a punt from his own 25-yard line to the Mustang 29. In two plays Ewing carried it over the line and once again Finch failed to convert. From this point on the Mustangs proceeded to get hot and set cut cn a sustained drive down the field. On the touch- down play Doo!ey once again threw a long pass to Hathaway who took it over the goal line standing up. Hawkins, Sparks, Dooley, Hathaway, Bjurman, Pitt, Null, Lynn, and Silva looked very good in there for the Mustangs while Gilmore and Finch were outstand- ing for the Miramonte boys. Cal Poly 25—Santa Barbara Frosh 0 Playing on a soggy turf before a small crowd the Mustangs ran rampant over the Frosh from Santa Barbara State. Because of the slippery ball the Mus- tangs confined themselves to straight line plays. They intercepted six out of the seven passes thrown by the Fresh. Long gains were made through the tackles on the Frosh team. In the final period the Frosh made a determined bid to score but the Mustang line proved too much for them, bottling up the backs and the line. Silva. Dooley, Hathaway and Shea looked good in the backfield while the line played brilliantly. Bjork. Pitt, Schwander and Null looking very impressive. Cal Poly 0—Santa Clara Frosh 12 Playing against one of the greatest frosh squads in the history cf Santa Clara the Cal Poly Varsity put up a game battle. However they came out on the short end of the score. The first Bronco touchdown came as a result of a bad Mustang kick. The second came when Shea fumbled on the Santa Clara five-yard line and Santa Clara recovered. Sparks, Van Horn, Dusina. Bjork. Lawrence and Schwander stood out in the line. Hathaway, Williams and Dooley, until he was taken out with a sprained knee, played heads up hall. Homecoming Game Cal Poly 6—Loyola 19 On a somewhat boggy field a strong Loyola frosh squad defeated a crippled, though game Mustang team before a crowd of Homecoming grads to the tune of 19 to 6. With a half minute to play in the first quarter, Sims the Loyola left half passed to McFad- den for a touchdown. Reader converted. In the mid- dle of the third quarter Loyola kicked to the Mus- tangs who fumbled and the ball was recovered by Loyola on the one-yard line. From this point Sims went around the end for a touchdown. Reader failed to convert. In the last period with but eight minutes left to play Miller carried the ball from the Loyola 35-yard line across the goal line for the only Poly touchdown of the day. Dusina failed to convert. On the kickofT Lamaritina, left half, received the ball on his forty-yard line and carried it sixty yards for the third Loyola touchdown. Little George Silva was the only back who could seem to gain through the Loyola line. Ike Miller looked good on his long sweeping end runs. The Mustangs played most of the game with their second string backs. Sims for the southerners was outstanding. Lynn, stellar center, received a bro- ken collarbone which put him on the shelf for the remainder of the season. Cal Poly 14—Santa Maria 6 (Night Game) Before a large crowd of enthusiastic fans the Mus- tangs from Cal Poly came from behind in the second half to defeat the Santa Maria J. C. 14 to 6. Santa Maria drew first blood when Jimmy Williams fumbled a wet and slippery ball which Morris, Santa Maria tackle, recovered. Clark failed to convert. The re- mainder of the first half was a see-saw battle with the ball changing hands on numerous occasions. In the first few minutes of the second half Tomei, left half, threw a pass to Bob Hathaway who caught the ball on the 5-yard line and went over for the touch- down. Dusina converted to put the Mustangs ahead. At the start of the fourth quarter the Mustangs kicked to the southerners who fumbled on the 15-yard line. The ball was recovered by the Polyites. Chuck Cook on an end around carried the ball over for a touchdown. Shea con- verted to boost the score to 14 for the Mustangs and 6 for Santa Maria. Null intercepted a Saint pass on the 40-yard line and the Mustangs ad- vanced the ball to within two yards of the goal line when the final gun sounded. Cal Poly 0—U. S. F. Frosh 14 Scoring two touchdowns in the first period a much heavier Frosh squad from the University of San Francisco defeated the Mustangs before a crowd of 4000 enthusiastic fans on the Poly field on Armistice Day. Early in the first quarter Fuchs, left half for U. S. F., ran 85 yards around his right end for a touchdown. He converted. Later in the same period the Fresh made a sustained drive from the Poly 49-yard line. Throwing short passes and plunging over the guards they advanced to the one-yard line from which point Bolster, fullback, carried it over. Fuchs again converted. Although they were outweighed greatly the Mustang line deserve a lot of credit for the determined battle they waged. Cal Poly 20—Salinas J. C. 0 A snarling pack of Salinas J. C. Panthers were tamed by the Mustangs to the tune of 20 to 6. This win gave the Mustangs the C. C. C. C. J. C. Cham- pionship for the fourth consecutive year. Early in the first quarter Hatha- way intercepted a pass and ran to within two yards of pay dirt. Bob Garcia carried the ball over from this point. Toward the end of the second period the Mustangs advanced to within three yards of the goal but were stopped cold by an alert Panther line. On the punt Hathaway returned the ball to the Panther 45-yard line. On a series of line bucks the ball was advanced to the 14-yard line. English on the next play faded back and threw a perfect pass to Hathaway who went over for the touchdown. The second half opened with the Panthers putting on a dazzling aerial show. A poor punt by the Mustangs gave the Salinas team the ball on the 30-yard line of the Mustangs. One running play and a pass were all that were necessary for the Panthers to score. Salinas again opened a deter- mined drive but were stopped on the Mustang 15-yard line. The Mustangs punted out of danger. On the next play the Panthers fumbled on a lateral and the Mustangs recovered. Another pass from half Gabe Saenz to Maxie Hawkins was good for the third touchdown of the game. The point was converted and the Mustangs emerged with the Championship. Shea was injured and was lost for the Modesto game. Bowman of the Panthers was the outstanding man on the field. The Mustangs played one of their best games of the season. They played as a unit and after ail that is what any team is striving for. Cal Poly 18—Modesto J. C. 0 In a colorful Turkey Day Classic the Galloping Mustangs ran roughshod over Modesto J. C. Pirates, the champions of the California northwest jun- ior colleges. They played their greatest game of the season. Poly scored in the first, second and last periods of the game. The Mustangs started off on a powerful drive which was culminated when Williams crashed over for the first Mustang touchdown. The remainder of the quarter saw the ball change hands without any damage being done. In the second quarter Mo- desto cn a series of running plays brought the ball to the Mustang 25-yard line. Here they attempted a lateral which Jimmy Williams intercepted and sprinted 75 yards down the field for a touchdown. He was given perfect interference by his teammates. The third period found both teams battling on even terms until the clos- ing minutes when Dooley faded back and threw a long pass to Hathaway who romped over the goal. This game marked the close of the footbail career of Bob Hathaway, wiry little quarter. He played splendidly and in recognition of his outstanding work during the year was voted the most valuable man on the team. He well deserved this honor. SUMMARY In making a brief summary of the season just past we might say that the Mustangs gave a good account of themselves in every game and were in there giving all they had until the final whistle had blown. Coach Howie O’Daniels cannot be given too much credit for the splendid work he has done with the team. He is handicapped by the lack of an assistant coach and must spend time with both the backs and the line and cannot give the time that should be given to each unit. With a veteran team returning for the coming season the Galloping Mustangs should rise to new heights and spread the name of the school far and wide. 1937 Schedule Sept. 24—Modesto J. C.

VARSITY BASKETBALL With a turnout of some thirty men Howie O’Daniels set out to form an- other Green and Gold casaba team. With seven lettermen returning he was able to form a team in a much shorter time than in the past. Games were scheduled with some of the outstanding teams in the country. The Colored Broadway Clowns and the House of David were among the better teams. The next game of the season was against the Bakersfield J. C. which the Mustangs won 40 to 35. Eddie Jauch was highpoint man scoring 12 points. The first setback of the conference was at the hands of Salinas J. C. to the tune of 36-37. It was a fast game from start to finish and had the fans in the stands howling. For their next game the Mustangs traveled over to Atascadero to meet the Miramonte J. C. on their home court. In a last minute rally the Mustangs emerged victorious to the tune of 25-24. Wes Bridston sank a long field goal with a minute and thirty seconds left to play. Before a packed house the trouping Colored Broadway Clowns came to town and put on one of the best hoop shows seen in this part of the country in many years. They had the stands in an uproar from start to finish with their antics. When the dust had cleared away the Clowns had come out on the long end of the score 34-33. A clever team from Santa Barbara State Frosh next invaded the lair of the Mustang and were sent home with a 30 to 27 defeat. In a return game with Salinas J. C. at Salinas the Mustangs were defeated 27 to 19. Inability to make their free throws proved fatal to the Mustangs. The Bearded House of David brought their troupe into the Mustang gym and emerged victorious 33 to 26. They fea- tured a giant center, Art Stocking who rose seven feet into the air. The Mus- tangs were unable to shoot the ball over his head and so were unable to score. Santa Maria J. C. was defeated to the tune of 28 to 25 on the Mustangs’ court. In the final game against Salinas the Mustangs again went down to defeat 34 to 25. Invading Santa Maria the Cal Poly Varsity defeated the Saints 38 to 29 on the Saints’ court. In a return game the next week the Saints were again sent home with a 38-32 defeat. In one of the most thrilling games of the season the Miramonte team defeated the Mustangs in an overtime period 53 to 52 on the Mustangs’court. In the final game of the season at Miramonte the Mustangs went down to defeat to the tune of 52 to 39. This game rang down the curtain on the season for the local boys and they turned in a better game than the score would indicate. When the final tabulations had been made the Mustangs had finished in third place in the conference. Salinas placed first. Mi- ramonte second. Cal Poly third, and Santa Maria fourth. Kay Carpenter, stellar center, was placed on the all-conference team and Wes Bridston and Ed Maxon made the second team.With most of the lcttermen returning for next year the Mustangs can look forward with a great deal of hope for the future. The following were awarded their letters: Wes Bridston, Fred Bradley, Bill Jauch, Orlando Can- clini, Maurice Rush, Jim Miller, Ed Maxon and Leon Babka. Edward Maxson was elected by the team as the most valuable player. Front row, from left: (I. Schneider. J. Knmo� , J. Hloom, D. Ko . G Thorne Hack row, from left: H. Hoskins, R.

The team met and defeated some of the leading amateur clubs in the county. With most of the men eligible for next year’s Varsity the school can look forward to a banner season. The J. V.’s combined fast, clever ball handling with a stubborn de- fense and this combination proved to be most effective. Ramos, Liskey, Anderson, Lang, MacKillop. Bloom, Thorne and Hall made up the J V. team and were award- ed the Circle CP. Following are a list of the games played and the scores: Jayvee B’s 16—Paso Robles B’s 19.

BASEBALL With probably the strongest team in the history of the school the Mus- tangs are in the midst of a heated campaign for the Conference Champion- ship. The “Wrecking Crew” from Cal Poly has raised havoc with the opposing pitchers and with any sort of luck should go through to another conference championship. The 19 37 season was started with a couple of games against the High School in which the High School boys were outclassed. The first official game of the season found the strong University of San Francisco team traveling down to San Luis to meet the Mustangs. Andy Bowman, diminutive hurler, was on the mound for the Mustangs. Ed Walsh, ace of the Dons, twirled for the visitors. Bad base running and lack of experience cost the Cal Poly team the game. When the dust had cleared away the final score read 8-4 in favor of the Dons. With vengeance in their bats and high hopes for their first victory of the season the Mustangs journeyed down to Santa Barbara to meet the strong frosh squad. What started out to be a tame game was soon turned into a track meet. The offerings of the frosh hurler were hit all over the park and the Mustangs tallied with monotonous regular- ity. The final score read 16-3 in favor of the Mustangs. Andy Bowman was again on the mound for the winners. Saenz, Stanton, Bradley, hit homers for the Mustangs. The next game was played against the strong Taft Drillers at Taft. Poor baserunning and lack of head-up baseball cost the Mustangs another game. Saenz pitched brilliantly for five innings and a temporary loss of control cost him six runs. The final score found the Mustangs on the short end of the score 7-4. The first conference game of the season was played on the Mission field with Santa Maria J. C. Nishijima was on the mound for the Saints and his southpaw slants were too much for the Mustangs. The Saints won the game by a score of 4-2. Bowman pitched good ball for the Mus- tangs but his mates were unable to gather in any runs for him. The second conference game found the boys from “over the hill” invading San Luis. Colmer was on the mound for the Miramonte J. C. team and his speed ball was very effective for a few innings. The Mustangs soon pounced on his offerings for several runs. Saenz hit a home run for the Poly team. Bowman pitched his best game of the year, striking out fifteen of the opponents. The whole team looked like a team should for the first time of the season. “Revenge is sweet” so it is said. With the heavy ar- tillery meeting everything the Taft pitcher had to offer the Mustangs emerged with a 16-6 win over the Oilers. Carpenter, Stanton, Vanoncini, McGrath, all hit homers for the local team. It was the last home game of the sea- son for the Mustangs and a good crowd was on hand to cheer the boys. May Day found the team traveling to San Francisco to again meet the Dons. Big Ed Walsh was again on the mound for the Dons and the Mustangs were out for his hide. He was driven from the mound in the seventh in- ning and replaced by Marcovich. Saenz pitched for the Mustangs and his curve was working to perfection. He was struck in the finger in the seventh inning and had to be replaced by Bowman. It was later learned that Saenz had received a frac- tured finger. The end of the game found the Mustangs on top with a 10 to 7 win. Carpenter hit a homer for the locals. The Mustangs once more journeyed over the hill to Atascadero to meet Miramonte J. C. Colmer was on the mound for the boys from Atascadero and Bowman for the Mustangs. As the game progressed it could be seen that it would develop into a pitchers’ battle. Colmer’s fast ball was working to perfection and it had the Poly team baffled. In the last inning Hinkle drove out a long double for the only hit of the game against Colmer. This spoiled his chance to enter the select few that have ac- complished the feat. Bowman pitched equally as well but a few errors proved the downfall of the Mustangs. The final score was 3-2 in favor of Miramonte. Journeying down to Santa Maria for the second game with the Saints found the Mustangs coming out on the long end of the score by the count of 2-1. Bowman was on the mounnd for the locals and Nishijima for the Saints. It will be remembered that it was earlier in the season that the southpaw stopped the Mustangs. It was a very close ball game and it was only by some spectacu- lar fielding on the part of the Saint outfield that the sc re was not raised. The Mustangs have now defeated every team they have played in a regulation game. This in it- self is quite some record. Bowman twirled brilliantly for the Mustangs and the infield was on its toes throughout the game. Next Satur- day the Saints meet the boys from Mi- ramonte J. C. in a double-header and the chances are that the games will be split thus placing the Mustangs in a tie for first place. There is a possibility of a playoff if the games can be arranged before the term is over. As this book is going to print the Mustangs have two conference games left. Members of this year’s Varsity were Carpenter, Saenz, Stanton. Brad- ley, Lauppe, Nitta, Hinkle, Bowman, Vanoncini. Lohrberg, McGrath, Sparks, Deering and Tomei (manager). With most of the lettermen return- ing next year the Mustangs can look forward to a banner year. Captain Deuel did a splendid job of coaching the fel- lows and had the respect and admira- tion of the whole team. Fred Bradley was elected by the team as the most valuable man.

TRACK The track squad this year was somewhat hampered by the lack of train- ing facilities and the wet weather. However, in spite of the many setbacks the squad was out every day and journeyed to the high school to train. There were four ma- ior meets held this year. The squad as a whole was not as strong as teams in the past in some events but they made up in fight what they lacked otherwise. The first meet of the year was held at Taft. Teams competing were Taft J. C., Miramonte J. C., Santa Maria J. C. and Cal Poly. It was in this meet that Gonzales of Taft tied the Na- tional Junior College 100-yard dash record. Pitt of Poly was second and pushed him all the way. Point winners in this meet were Pitt,Van Horn, lagla, Boggess, Lang, Lukas, Miller,West, Mac- f Killop, English, Laylander, Null, Livesey, I Y Woods, Hathaway, Nuzum, Edgemon. Taft won the meet with 73 points, Poly was second k; with 67 points and Miramonte and Santa Maria N finished third and fourth with 14 and 5 points respectively. The second meet of the year was held against the strong Santa Barbara Frosh at Santa Barbara. It was a dual meet. The state tech boys were without the services of Pitt, their dash man. When the sun had set behind the wall of the stadium the Frosh had won the meet by the score of 68-63, with the relay deciding the meet. Van Horn was high point man, garnering 16 points. Miller was second with nine. The third meet of the year found the Mustangs going up against the strong San Jose State Spartans at the Spartan stadium in San Jose. It marked the first time that the track team had met so strong a school. It too, was a dual meet. The Spartans proved superior in almost every event and when the curtain had rung down on the meet the score found them on top by the score of 02-38. The final event of the year was the Conference meet at Atascadero in which the four schools of the Confer- ence met. Byars of Salinas proved to be a track team in one as he captured first place in the mile, half mile, and quarter mile. He also ran a lap on the relay team. Pitt and Van Horn proved to be the mainstays of the Poly team. Each scored 10% points. Boggess captured the only first for the Mustangs in the broad jump. The final score read as follows: Salinas 56. Cal Poly 46, Miramonte 31 and Santa Maria 21. Only three lettermen were present when the opening of the season was in progress and as Coach O’Daniels had to spend a good majority of his time with the spring football training h evvas not able to help develop many good performers from the small squad. As the season progressed it was quite evident that the team which was representing the Mustangs on the cinder path would be a real contender for the conference cham- pionship. Paul Pitt in the dash events was a dangerous competi- tor throughout the season and it was only due to a poor start that he didn’t capture both events in the conference meet. Jim Miller in the high jump made some fine showings in every meet and in the Santa Barbara affair he reached his best height of the season, clearing the bar at six feet. Oscar Van Horn, the iron horse man on the past year’s track team more than once opened up with that 190 pounds of driving muscle which he possessed and came home a winner in either the 440 or 880. He was a member of the relay team—running the anchor lap on the four- man team. He also proved to be a valuable addition to the team in the weight events, taking first in the shot-put on two different occasions and taking a first and two seconds in the discus. It is hoped that this stellar performer will be back for the 1938 season campaign. Other performers on the past year’s squad who should be real threats next year are: Angus MacKillop who proved to be a real distance runner in the two last medts in which the Mustangs per- formed against other colleges; Lindsay Boggess, who captured the only first place in the conference meet will be used in the hurdles in the 1938 season. His fine broad-jumping also accounted for a good many of the Mustang points chalked up during the season. Edgmon, Null, Lukas, Lang and Jagla should all be fine performers during the 1938 sea- son. Oscar Van Horn was elected by the team as the most valuable player. Following are the total points scored by the members of this year’s Varsity: Pitt ....... Van Horn .. R. Hathaway L. Boggess . G. Jagla A. MacKillop P. English . K. Laylander J. Miller ... H. Null .... J. Edgemon . C. Nuzum .. R. Shown .. P. Bunting .. M. West Livesey .... Lang ....... Woods ...... Lukas ...... Thorne .....
