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.
