Industries A team of ten Cal Poly dairy produc- tion majors brought honor and lame to the college this year by winning first place in the Tenth Annual I loard’s Dairymen Championship Collegiate Dairy cattle judging contest. The team of boys judged classes of the five major breeds of dairy cattle by the use of photographs in competition with other teams from all the outstanding agricul- tural colleges in the United States. Last year another Poly team tied for second place in the same contest. In the 11olstein All American judging contest, Poly teams have won many honors: first place in 1939. seventh in 1940, and third in 1941. Everyone of the boys of this years I he courses, dairy manufacturing and dairy production are plenty stiff . . . especially ice cream making with almost too much math. The entire college’s milk supply ... a quart per day per student ... is supplied by campus cows. The milk tests higher percentage of hutterfat than required by law. Lots of new equipment is headed by a reconditioned milking barn ... no cracks . . . and includes bottler, cooling system, separator, sterilizer, automatic self filler. A departmental award of perpetual trophy is awarded at Poly Royal for top student of the year. team works part time in the dairy unit to help earn school expenses and they own a total of 7c head of fine dairy cattle.

I he meetings feature problems common to the field of electricity, and prepare would-be electricians for complications which are not learned from textbooks. The department is still waiting for a diesel promised long ago . . . the old one has been chugging since 1929 sup- plying the main current for most ol Polytech’s demands. The majors serv- ice . . . install . . . maintain . . . and operate the power plant. They also have charge of the boiler which sends heat to the main buildings. I he electricians are studying for fu- tures which will include radio techni- cians . . . sub station operators . . . and positions with the telephone companies CP. G. E., etc.). I he department furnishes juice to charge the fence around the lawn in front of the electrical building. Even the electricals are sometimes suckers to that gag. They like to climb poles and string hot wires . . . Electrical theorv is a no cinch course . . . plenty flunk that one.

S. and from foreign countries. One of the big- gest tasks is planting cover crops lor the school’s orchards. They also plant a truck garden and watch the crops grow. All terracing, checking, and irrigation is done by students. I he school rents from the Union Oil Co. territory near the air port and projects arc subleased to the students. Then the fellows rent equipment from the department, they hire their own labor, and sell their product . . . usually hay. The meat animals department usually buys crops grown ... the growers pocket the profit. Only one project has been undertaken this year, and by three department ma- jors . . . they pocketed a pocketful. In the Spring, when crops head out. employed majors run the harvesters all dav and chug all night until the job is through. They work hard, get scratchy arms and backs which ache twice as much, and yet obtain that satisfaction of living with the rain, the wind, the sun, the waving fields of grain, and, in the end. are the only guys who are really “down to earth.” Toy: crops student gets experience pruning a deciduous tree in the San Luis orchard. Fruit production is one of the fortes of San Dimas, hut every crops man gets a sample of this work at San Luis. Below: making hay while the sun shines brought financial re- turns to these fellows who rented land, school equipment, raised, and harvested the crop as a project. Production Crops Club We never will forget that assembly which the ‘croppers’ put on for the student body and which featured the Barnsmell boys vs. Pansvpickers in re- gard to table manners. The assembly was a practical illustration of a talk on Emily Post at a preceding meeting. Three parties were held at Advisor Dougherty's house. Mr. Doughertys daughter plays the piano . . . the guests play poker . .. and sometimes sing. The Pre Poly Royal dance was under the auspices of the ‘croppers who wove crepe paper into a false ceiling which draped from a suspended center piece. At the Royal itself, they sponsored the sack sewing contest as well as the agro nomv exhibit and contest. (Agronomy is the naming of plants, weeds, grasses, etc. exclusive of shrubs, trees, etc.). No rubber for a trip this year. ELWOOD RANDOLPH Crops Clul Proxy OFFICERS President ......Elwood Randolph Vice President .... David Risling Secretary ......... Dwight Wait t reasurer .....

The horticulturists, of which only eleven ended the Spring quarter, help make the campus more beautiful. They grow all annuals and shrubs that sur- round the buildings and tackled the job of ’’planting' the new building. Degree students take first two years at San Dimas and if they are fortunate thev finish work at the San Luis cam- pus during the Iollowing two years . . . Positions are assured as teachers, nursery- men, and landscapers for civic institu- tions and residences. Although no advertising is done, the visitors who inspect the green house and “petunia” beds buy a good jxjrcent- age of the cuttings and potted plants. T he horts get 60 percent of profits . . . the state 40 percent . . . soil and water and hoes arc furnished by the depart- ment. Besides their regular studies students have charge of and lab work, horticulture beautifying the campus—a job which they have ac complished exceedingly well and with little thanks. They have put in and take care of 13V6 acres of lawn, put in all shrubbery on the grounds, and arc now help- ing to landscape the areas around the new dorms and new administration build- ing. Horticulture Horticulture Club Members are commonly referred to as “pansy pickers.” I hey meet once a week in landscape problems class and listen to two iellow members report on some new phase of landscaping. This year, curtailed by defense plans, no annual extended tour was taken, but the Fall picnic at the County Park turned out to be a w hoi loping good time. . . . They had barbecued steak and did a little baseball, hiking, and sightseeing. In the Spring, the second picnic was held near a Girl Scout outpost around Atascadero . . . but these fellows arc nice boys. They helped make the Polv Royal Coronation ol the Queen formal a mag- nificent allair. The motive was to dec- orate to end all decorations .... they almost did.

In the spring, they take an annual trip to look over the chicken and turkey situation. The club is well represented in student affairs . . . the campus prexy is a poultry major . . . and they monopolize the honor society. The member who makes the greatest profit during the year from his projects must treat the brothers to an outing. The fellow who makes the least money, supplies the others with stacks of chew- ing gum. In otherwords, they are so- cialistic and frown upon capitalism . . . Their assembly featured a fashion show which featured a hula dance in Poly- tech stvle. In the inter-club basketball meet, the club was runner up to the winners.

Despite the fine facilities and the excellent teaching staff, the war put a crimp in the enroll- ment. Besides losing men to the serv- ices, the department is handicapped by a temporary lull in the industry itself. Inability to get materials and govern- ment’s ban on manufacture of “com- fort equipment such as refrigerators, cooling systems, etc. helped drain stu- dents into other work. Despite the problems, the few stu- dents left in the department have been doing excellent work. The majors fin- ished a quick freezing unit this year. It freezes down to 50 degrees below in less than twenty minutes . . . the cafe will quick freeze vegetables and meat and store them in the contraption. The men like to run tests on air velocities and on air quantities . . . they also maintain the auditorium air condi- tioning unit. The frosh recently finished a direct air forced heating unit lor Mr. Lucksingcr’s house on a project basis. They have worked on churches . . . the churches pay for materials and the stu- dents devote their labor, bight and sound, sound control, vibrations and ac- coustics, are three courses that loom high and mighty to newcomers. Onlv one student has completed the full course which leads to a degree . . . his certificate of higher learning was award- ed during the graduation exercises.

Conditioning Air Conditioning Club The Air Conditioners are a last think- ing, personable hunch, which includes some of the most naive talent on the campus. They seem to be endowed with plenty of ready wit and make sessions out of any gathering. T hese men study sines, cosines, and all kinds of figures. I hey also loiter up the sand at Avila. They hazed a couple of members at the first of the school year in conjunc- tion with the Aero club. The pledges had a work out on the dunes at Oceano . . . some people call it a beach party.

With its beginning in the Fall of 41, fellows were drawn from Fresno State, California, San Jose State, and Santa Rosa J. C. Then the department was cut down to war rations with about r6 finishing the Spring quarter. Preparation is given in this category for power plant work, machine shop, drafting, engines, air conditioning, re- frigeration, and other diversified skills . . . the scope is broad and acts as a basis lor which any engineering field can be entered. I he stiffer courses are engineering math, physics, fluid flow, spherical trig., illumination engineering . . . we’ll let the mechanical industrialists have all this. A great deal of work is done over a drafting board in this department . . . but it's not all theory . . . they get lots of practical training in power house operation, etc. Industries ) Poly Engineers Club Like the department itself, the Poly Engineers club is not yet dry behind the ears. All present members are char- ter members. In the Fall, a trip was taken to the County Park where a barbecue was held, with Chef Carter in the groove hashing the meal out in an ail fait man- ner (we didn’t understand either). They were a rowdy bunch who played baseball, football, basketball, and shot the breeze. I hev meet just once in a while, but when they do, they exchange ideas on subjects pertaining to the mech. eng. field. Mr. Sharpe, who acts in an ad- j visory capacity, believes the club be- longs to the fellows so the fellows always have their say. ROY CARTER Engineers Club Prexv OFFICERS President ...........

The Agricultural Mechanics Depart- ment is one of the few departments which do not offer a degree curriculum. I here are many facilities available. Mr. Merson uses his finesse in designing new tractor equipment which the stu- dents construct. One of Mr. Winners prides of joy is the renovated plow that was converted into a manure scraper lor the hog unit. Mr. Drumm’s concoction on legs, simulates a cow . . . but the bulls don’t think so. The ag. men keep all carpentry in repair and construct feeding troughs, sell feeders, sheds, and helped lay the concrete pens for the hog unit. They keep their tools sharp and in good repair as much of the grade de- pends on knowledge of proper use and care of equipment. Someone is always bringing in something to be fixed . . . it usually gets “fixed. The wise I el lows build trailers and usually sell them at a gtxxl profit. This department utilizes '“coolie'' labor, but it is the only practical manner by which the fellows can learn first hand. Architectural Drafting ROBERT C. YOUNGER knows how to teach drafting, drafting board . . . has large also a member of the hike br advisor to Sigma Phi Kappa frosh get acquainted. Due to circumstances, only two frosh and one soph finished the Spring quar- ter. Rut they accomplished a lot of learn- ing during the course. Thc drew rough plans for an agricultural mechanics building and an aero shop. The plans were sent to Sacramento for approval by the State Department of Architecture and will in time lx the basis for con- struction of the proposed shops. I hey draw detailed sketches of gadgets for the agricultural carpentry files.

National Defense EUGENE BOONE Administration CHARLES GRANT Administration Starting out as “defense training courses in the fall of 1940, Poly’s essential government sponsored industrial courses became W ar train- ing” courses after that Sunday morning stab in the back at Pearl Harbor. During the past year more than 2000 war industries workers have been trained in weld- ing, aircraft sheet metal, machine shop, radio and communications, and most of these have been placed immediately in plants building those all important planes, ships or bombs, or have gone into the armed forces with special technical ratings. It was this war industries training sponsored by the federal government which brought the National Youth Administration resident work center to the campus. Barracks, dining halls and all facilities were built to house 250 NYA trainees at one time. The two new shop buildings, which will eventually be turned over for regular college shop courses when the war is over, were built to accommodate the ever increasing special en- rollment of war industries trainees. In February, something new was added! Girls! Yes, girls were admitted to the new courses in civil service training for California air depot workers. Since regular enrollment had been dropping off rapidly due to draft and en- listment, two of the new “chicken-coop dormi- tories were turned over to the civil service “me- chanic learners.” It was the first time in 30 years since a girl had lived on the campus, and frankly, administrative officials were a little skeptical—but the girls were ladies and the boys were gentlemen—and everything worked out fine.

Gin you imagine a Policeman’' Ball without a cop? Well, by now you have probably figured it out. I lie chief duties of the Rally are to act as police, hosts, and ushers. In other words they are all around handy men at all social functions such as dances and also at all athletic events. You can’t miss them. They are always there, sweaters and all. This group worked under stress and strain this year and we all must say that the Rally Committee fulfilled their du- ties to the fullest extent. Social Committee I liis group has one of the toughest jobs on the campus. It must dig up all the entertain- ment for the rallies, work with the band in planning stunts for all games, and arrange as- sembly programs with the Vice President. A lot of credit should lie given to them this year as it has been a fight to do what they wanted to do. but thev certainly did the best they could.

Also under the jurisdiction of this department are radio programs presented either by remote control from the campus through facilities of KVEC or direct from the local studio. I he News-Bureau has a fluctuating stall. With Publicity Director Kennedy dividing his time between teaching journalism classes, directing student and other publications, and doing campus photography, the stair always has one full-time man who is able to devote only part time to the direct job of pub- licizing Cal Poly. At various times, how- ever, student assistants have been found who were capable of handling part of the routine student activity news which often makes excellent publicity material. At the first of the year Glenn Arthur assisted with football releases and with the football program-magazine, The Goal Post. Then Amaro Periera took over for a short time at the early part of basketball season, but he left school just as the season got under way. Dur- ing the spring quarter, Charles Men- denhall assisted and it was his able work during the month before Poly Royal which resulted in a greater quantity of publicity on the show than ever before. El Mustang El Mustang saw lots of water go under the bridge this year . . . saw more changes in one year than ever before in its existence . . . was bossed by more different men . . . was changed in format and size more times . . . but always caused just as much trouble to the editorial and mechanical staff as it ever did. The year started with Bill Reddick, now in the Coast Guard, as editor. Bill was a willing worker but lacked experience. 11 is reporters and sub editors were all willing but all lacked experience. It was a six column paper, 13 pica columns and no column rules at the beginning of the year. In October it went to seven 12 pica columns with column rules. Dick Barrett, best business manager ever to work on an El Mus- tang staff, could get plenty of advertising, but a dirth of reporters meant lack of copy. Only answer was to cut size of paper. New El Mus- tang went back to six column width but kept narrow columns. Tom Brannum. managing editor at start of vear, was drafted: Lowell C raig, news editor CHARLES MENDENHALL I I Mustang Editor took over his spot, but Lowell left school just before Reddick. Despite the changing staff El Mustang never missed a publication date and made monev. Top: At the composing stone . . .

Bottom: The worried expressions come from two things: 1. fear that some big mistake will slip hv until after the run is com- pleted. 2. fear that the ancient press which Mendenhall is hand feeding will break down as it did many a night to keep the staff working until breakfast time. james McDonald General Superintendent CAEL BECK Advisor and 1942 1 lonoree First the Army said you can't have more than 5000 people at Poly Royal. Then came the rubber shortage and it didn’t look like our show had a ghost of a chance. Then came the rains. It rained steadily for days. James Mc- Donald. general superintendent, began to have a haunted expression. Carl Beck, advisor for the show for the past ten years, lost a few more hairs each day. The track became a mud hole, not helped by the presence of a ditch across both sides of the track and the field. The Poly Royal executive committee could visualize dollars sprouting wings and flying away. With the show sched- uled for Friday and Saturday, it was still raining on Monday ... on Tues- day ... on Wednesday. 1 he Pol Royal Relays were called off. Then . . . wonder of wonders . . . the sun came out—and came out hot . . . and the Tenth Annual Poly Royal came out on the black side of the ledger.

Tenth Annua 194 QEIEEN BARBARA BIGGS San Francisco State Some doubting Thomases were skeptical of the value of seeking the Poly . Royal Queen from other colleges in the state when the plan was first established last spring. The success and added publicity which came to the I college last year almost convinced them they were wrong . . . and this year i: was even more of a success and left no room for doubt as to the sound- ness of the plan. Miss Joetta Belcher from Fresno State college made an j excellent Queen and the presence during the two-dav show of the 1941 Queen, Miss Barbara Biggs, added materially to the '‘Royal” occasion. Princesses chosen from the local high school and junior college were: N«ma Con-. Ann Van Lccuwcn, Barbara Brown and Candice Snowman.

A gixxl bunch of guys . . . their motto . . . Do as we sav—not as we do.” Air Raid Wardens Probably Cal Poly had another first’’ when it organized the air raid wardens of the campus prior to the first San Luis Obispo black-out, which was, by the way, one of the first on the Coast. The day after San Francisco's first black-out, a group of thoughtful students, includ ing Prexy Dougherty, former prexy Himmelman, Mechanical Industries Club prexy, Roy Carter, met with the Administrative Council. Mr. McFarland and other faculty members to work out an air raid warning system. No sooner had the system been worked out, in fact the very next night, San Luis was treated to a practice black-out and then almost immediately following the all- clear signal a “real McCoy alarm was mounded. l eft to right: Roy Carter.

Dwight Wait and Tom Brannutn were appointed by SAC to co dit the book this year. Tom was drafted early in November. Editorial duties were divided evenly between staff members with each man taking responsibility for a section of the book. Wait remained as co-editor, doing the million and one job necessary but not evident. A great deal of credit is due l ed Cope. He set the pace for the rest of the staff members who follow'd his style.

Ivan Stribling had the next hardest IIRO KAI Athletics LOREN McNICIIOI Graduates 1111 I DEVINE Album section to handle, that of ORGANIZATIONS, and he did a top flight job. Loren Mc.Nicholl was recruited to do a thankless and tedious job in checking and double checking on the graduate section. With things in even more ol an uproar than usual, Loren had a hard time keeping track of those who were really going to graduate. Warner Smith was another fellow recruited at the last minutes to do a tough job, that of ACTIVITY section write-ups. Jiro Kai’s sport write-ups on football and basketball arc tops. Jiro and Nelson Akagi, assistant photographer, were two of the unfortunate American Japanese re- quired to evacuate the coastal area early in April. Both boys did excellent work and were missed when they had to leave. Pete I latch stepped in and wrote track and Jack James did an excellent job on baseball. Bill Devine was a great help in getting campus activity shots, but he too left school at the beginning of the spring quarter. Special credit is due to our competent Business Manager of Publications, Dick Barrett. In the face of poor local business conditions, Dick worked like a Trojan to make his advertising quota . . . and he made it. Also to James Folger. editor of the V x rhis section, who did a good job in meeting deadlines, and to Fretl Tibold. business manager of the Voorhis sec- tion. who increased the advertising revenue consider- ably.

Music Composed of three distinct groups, the Band, the Men’s Glee C lub, and the Collegians, the music department is a very well rounded group for the size of the Poly student body. Flic Band struts its stuff during the football season, plays seme very fine arrangements with lots of pep in assemblies, and at this year’s Poly Royal put on a crack-a-jack gotxl concert during the barbecue. I he Men’s Glee C lub labors hard during the long fall and winter months in preparation lor their Annual Spring four and Home Concert. Made up of men from every department of the college this group is one of the finest on the campus and its members try-out and join for the pure love and enjoyment of singing fine music. Capable of singing any type of song well, this vocal group can give a fine rendition of anv selection from the classics to nursery rhvmes.

Department The Band The Collegians are an all-year-round group. Beginning in the fall and playing straight through until the spring graduation dance, this excellent orchestra has earned lor itsell an en- viable reputation from one end of the state to the other. Sweet Swing is their forte and those who have heard them can testily that they well know how to “give out.” To the “swingaroos” of Poly they are known as “Lavers Lovers.” To everyone else they are well known as the Collegians. Lots ol style . . . output of solid jive . . . remem liered lor their “Back Bay Shuffle” . . . “Humpty, Dutnpty Heart” . . . One O’clock Jump . . . “I low Long Did I Dream . . . “Yes, Indeed.

Mort did the worrying for H.P. . . . just once did he take his eye off his buddy, Grientez . . . that was at Mattie’s . . . ask I lal what happened. The Collegians I he orchestra, like everyone else this year, had trials and tribulations. Worst luck of all was the loss of their very talented drummer, Kenny I Iawkins, to the Los Angeles Pest Con- trol Department, their piano man to the Army, their second trumpet man to work and their string bass played to studies. But fortunately, the sjK)ts were filled immediately—Bob Sullivan on the drums, Stan Noble at the piano, Bob Raybourn on the trumpet and Don Seaton, string bass. When you recall the many dances of the year, you’ll have to hand it to the Col- legians for their consistently gorxl performances. Thev’re a mightv fine outfit that’s hard to heat and a credit to the college against any compe- tition. Twelve “Boogie x)gie ‘ trumpets . . . eight Rippling Rhythm’ clarinets . . . lour Dixie Land basses . . . one “Blues (and I do mean Blues) in the Night” Glockenspiel player . . . and a big EEC. which includes trombones, drums, baritones, bassoon, saxophones, and al- toes.

Glee Club FRED KOBYASIII Glee Club Proxy Mellow harmony . . . the soft sweet blending of men’s rich voices . . . solo ists . . . (juartets ... an octet . . . Night and Day” . f . “you’re flat, tenors” from triple forte to double pian- issimo . . . throw it out the window.” For such a small student body the Men’s Glee Club has turned out many a fine voice in the past. And again this year the Glee Club is better than ever in its renditions of a wide variety and array of numbers. I low can there help but lx a bright outlook in the future lor this group then. With seven long months practice and training under their belts the Club traveled throughout the northern Sac- ramento Valley this year and were ac- claimed in every town and city thev J J visited as one ol the finest groups to ever present their program throughout this entire region. Accompanied by their Collegians they were received with open arms at every school they visited. Even now they have received many let ters asking for their return which is cer- tainly proof enough of their excellence for anyone. So keep it up, fellows. We’re all for you and proud you’re a part of Poly. Girls, girls, girls! That's all we hear from the boys in the Glee Cluh and from all the confirmed reports we’ve re- ceived, they really must have met some « • H pips. But we can readily understand how they accomplished the thing that all Polv boys dream ol. For if all the per- formances put on by the Glee Club and Collegians during their Spring I our were as gtxxl and as well received as they were at the I lome Concert, we can well see how they got the praise and the girls while on their tour. Among the several novelty acts work- ed out by the members of the Glee Club for presentation during the tour and concert, was one particularly note- worthy act I e a t u r i n g the Spanos brothers, Alex and Danny, in a tap dancing routine. Both boys have been studying the art ol tap dancing lor years and combined with their able cane twirling (a forerunner of baton twirling —of which they are State Champions) their ability was demonstrated to enthu- siastic audiences with the Collegians supporting with “ The Continental. Four members of the cluh did solo work during the organization’s many appearances both on tour and at home. They were: Ralph Carlsen, Morris Markee, John Nicolaides and Bill Struckmeyer. All of these men were members of either the Varsity or Col legiate quartet. Men’s Glee Club (left to right): At the piano: Gil Brown and Director 11. P.

I lie Yar site quartet, on the other hand, was made up entirely of new men: Alvin Quist. Ralph ('arisen. Morris Markee and Rob YVinans. Roth groups have done a wonderful job: their willingness to sing has re- sulted in their being called upon to en- tertain almost every social and civic dub in San Luis Obispo. 1 bey have sung lor their lunch and sung for their dinner . . . and had there been an SLO Breakfast club they would probably have sung for that meal too. 1 hey did their part lor the soldiers bv entertain- ing at Camp San Luis on several occa- sions. On the annual tour and the home concert they not only } crformed as two separate groups but combined to form a fine octet for several numbers. I HAPPENED IN SEPT EMBER 1. Avila here we come! 14.

I he high altitude and tiresome train ride affected the Mustangs shortly after the game had started. Poly had a chance to cheer in the last quarter as West and Kouns led the offensive; however the march halted on the six yard line as the final gun sounded. Even in defeat, the Mustangs all played g xxl ball and Poly can be proud of them. CAL TECII OCTOBER 4 The Mustangs, in their initial home game, trampled the Engineers, 18 0.

Even though the season in general was noth- ing to brag about there were some out- standing highlights during the season, among them: the smashing of two tri- umphs the Poly five administered to their cross-town rivals—the San Luis Obispo J. C.; the setting of an all-time high of 245 points in a single season by Bernard Goodbody; a record ol twenty- three points in a single game by Leroy' Licb, and the upsetting of one of the outstanding independent teams on the coast.

A very over-confident 1 lumboldt State five came to Poly expecting a pair of easy victories. But the old Poly spirit prevailed, and the Lumberjacks were hard pressed to win, with the Mustangs outscoring their opponents in the last half of the first game, but the rally didn’t start soon enough to bring the long side of the score to Poly. Polv again proved to the J. C. which team was best hv trouncing them 53-43 Goody Good body led the Mustangs in scoring as he hit the hoop for fourteen points.

Among the victims of this Mustang live were: the local high school varsity, various independent town teams and many Army company teams. The Jayvees played the preliminary games and gave the early fans much entertainment. During the season, the Jayvees had to come from behind to win many ol its victories. 1 he high scorers on the team were: l ed Thompson, Ed Jauch, Oliver Terrill and the great John Sohrakoflf.

But won- der of wonders, this green club turned in the first win in six years over the usually strong Santa Barbara Club.

The integral parts that made up this spirit were scattered over all parts of the campus. It was reluctantly and with much regret that the twenty students housed in this new dorm moved out on March 2 to make room for the civil service trainees. The spirit of Dorm Three was built on friendships made more enduring by the hardships entailed during the early part of the year when the building was only partially completed. It was one of camaraderie, and ol general interest in the welfare of each and every person housed in this new building. The spirit of Dorm Three was rep- resented by James Pappas, amiable su perintendent; by Howland Manson, the kid who made a name for himself by knocking out a boxer in his first Fun Nite appearance, and w ho held a record of excellence as custodian of the dorm and quieter of disturbances; by Jack Mason, whose cheery voice awoke sleepers at all hours of the day and night; by Bill Wilson and Boh McClure and the other boys who left to join the II. S. services; bv James “Hap Mc- Kenna, the wit ol the dorm, and the life of all “bull” sessions, and by many other boys w ho came and went in the life of Dorm I hree. The spirit of Dorm I hree was the quiet, contented and happy life lived there by twenty boys, some ol whom spent three-fourths ol their school year in the building. I hose who made up Dorm Three played an active part in all school activities. In this dorm were housed members ol the S. A. (.., Poly Royal committee, publications stall, athletes in football and basketball, and three Fun Nite boxing stars. Yes, the spirit of Dorm T hree is dead. It will never arise again. A new spirit may be born in the new occupants of that dorm, hut the old can never be reborn because the spirit was made up of the people that lived in it. An active, alert, interested and friendly people. 1 lerc on these pages we give a final toast to the Spirit that was Dorm Three. OFFICER Dorm. Supt.....

A full program of business meetings, banquets, student entertainments, campus tours, discussions of the good old days,” the I lomecoming dance, and the Humboldt State Poly football game kept the old grads hustling here and there all day long. Under the leadership ol President Sam Pagan. Vice-President Emile LaSalle, Treasurer Ed I awrcnce, and Secretary Dick Barrett, the group immediately tackled the problem of re- vising and rejuvenating the entire organization. The upshot of the whole affair resulted in the hiring of the college graduate manager as the paid alumni secretary whose duties were to direct the activities of the association in a cen- tralized fashion, and the subsequent alxdisb ment of the positions ol secretary and treasurer. Machinery was created lor the more effective handling of alumni business, and the develop ment of a much larger membership in the association. In the evening, the days’ business program was culminated by the annual I lomecoming banquet in the college caleteria.

Situated in a vast citrus belt about 30 miles south-east of Los Angeles, the Voorhis unit is picturesquely nestled near the toot of snow-capped Mount Baldv. Graceful winding roads, beautiful white-stucco buildings with colorful red tile roofs, make this horticulture and citriculture branch appear more like a smart residential district than a school. It was acquired in 1938 as an outright gift from Charles B. Voorhis and his son Congressman Jerry Voorhis, who had built the school and home for deserving, underprivileged youngsters.

Of normal scholarship rec- ords these students have a good time among themselves and with the student body, taking an active part in its doings. Aunell donated souvenir jxisteards of the Chapel to all visitors on Polv Vue Day. An example of their activities was the stag dorm party to Los Angeles where a fine dinner and show were taken in. This dorm, like many others, lost many of its members since the out- break of the war. Several are now in active service in the armed forces of the United States. Others have taken agri- cultural jobs necessary in defense. OFFICERS President ............ Jim Folger Secretary treasurer ....Jim Schulze Vice President..Vernon Frederick Caf-Dorm.................

One of the first events sponsored by this dorm was the Barn dance on Hal loween night. Music was lurnishcd bv a group of the lx st recordings with “Darsev” Jones calling the dances. Do nuts anti cider were served. This event was one ol the most successful the school has ever had and it showed the fine spirit and cooperation of the dorm. All of their time, however, was not used in amusements of this sort. They came through with Hying colors and won the scholarship banner lor the first quarter and the football pennant—some- thing very rare in years gone by.

Commencing the 1941-42 school year with ten upper classmen, Rose Cottage obtained cjuite the upper-hand on the incoming frosh. In due time the seven new freshmen pitched in with spirit and ambition—making Rose dorm one big happy family. Rose Cottage was one of the top teams in the annual inter-dorm football tour- nament this year, finally winning the determining g a m e for championship plav-off from Sunset cottage by the flip of a coin. The championship was lost only by a slight margin to the all-mighty Uncle Charlie’s team. I he officers of the dorm were: Presi- dent, Ed Hurst; Vice-president.

Due to the war and the filling of defense jobs hv the majority of the officers, the student gov- ernment voted to have another election. Max Kohler automatically assumed the post of presi- dent as lie was the ranking man, besides lx ing exceptionally suited and favored for the job.

The construction of a Constitution finally be came a fact as the group presented the new constitution to the student Ixxlv for amend- ments and approval. The completion of the constitution was a task worthy of mention be- cause of the tremendous amount of work re- quired. But. this is only one of the tasks allotted to the Executive Board; also, there were the entertainment of the students, keeping school spirit high, settling student’s problems, obtain ing new equipment for athletics, satisfying the sense of taste through the cafeteria, planning the many dances which take place each quarter, the snow trip to the mountains, dividing the student Ixxlv treasury so that the students were mostly benefited.

Dues are five cents a week and another five cents is also put into a pot bv each student and a drawing held. The prize money is the winner’s own. Meetings are held every Thursday night with the evening supper being served at the same time. Guest speakers are nearly always present, giving the stu- dents first hand information.

I his is a fairly new organization, king formed in the spring quarter of last year with twenty-seven charter members. At the present time there are twenty active members. I he purpose of the club is twofold— educational and social. The educational aspect is achieved by having speakers irom diderent organizations and busi- nesses connected with the growing and marketing ol various agricultural pr xl- ucts, talk before the group. Social ac- tivities of the club consist of barbecues, parties, and other forms of entertain- ment throughout the year. One of the clubs outstanding activi- ties of this year was the sponsoring of the ping-pong and pool tournament for the student body and faculty. Valuable prizes were offered the winners and runners-up. This tournament created much interest on the campus. The officers serving this club this year were: President Frederick Tibold; Vice- president, Lcland Meyers; Secretary, Dave 1 larvcv; Treasurer, Lewis Trus- scll; and faculty advisors, Messrs. Haw- kins and Gray. l op: David I laves and Dave I larvcv are working the seedling avocados grown by the students.

Poly Vue Day Miss Montgomery 1942 Polv Vue Queen Polv’s big day of the year at San Dimas is the annual Polv Vue. This year’s Fourth Annual Poly Vue Day was run off with smoothness and gaiety typifying the spirit of the Voorhis Unit. Bill A Icily led the executive committee in planning this day to which mer- chants, professional men, farmers, parents, girl friends, and everyone else are invited. The outdoor barbecue with half pound steaks and the rest of the dress ings, the organ recital in the beautiful Voorhis Chapel, flower shows, student demonstrations, the Victory Carden, swimming in the outdoor pool, relaxing under the magnificent giant oaks; all of these things were only a sample of the day’s doings. Mothers and fathers eager!v examined the dormitories which are more like fine homes; they saw the work their sons are doing in the various fields of Agriculture Inspection, Decid nous. C itrus, T ruck Farming, and Landscaping. I irst row: Pill Meily, chairman; Mr. YV. E. Court, advisor; Bill Lester, secretary; Max Kohler, traffic: Laird Koddick, exhibits chief.

Queen YVilda Pirl Students and guests Came afterncxm and the joyful crowd witnessed a nine inning hard ball game between the San Dimas sluggers and a visiting team from a nearby college. Then the Poly Vue Day banquet in the evening, and finally the Coronation Ball where the new Queen received her crown of flowers and a grace!til Cold Cup. I Ier Princesses wore their lockets and the Hash of photographers' bulbs indicate the affair has heon recorded forever on film. The day’s slogan Spend a Day the Polv Way” was perfect, because that is exactly what was done. . .. Coronation Barbecue front row (left to right): Doug Smith, Mayhew, Kohler, Bruton, McKendry. Second row: Dale Smith, Lindley, Crowley, Folger, Mapes, Woolsey. Meacham. Kohler, Mapes, Woolsev, McKendry and Mahew are five of the seven men who earned varsity letters in basketball this year. Bill Meily and Jim Abaloe were the other two, but they left school before their pictures were taken. Next year’s team will lx built around the five shown here on this page ... if they are able to come back. Ihe squad came through a very suc- cess! ul season this year despite the fact that only two veterans were back, Hill Meily and Jim Abaloe. I he majority of the team members were able-bodied, A fitting climax to a fairly good basketball season — a dinner for all the team members. That’s Coach Meacham at the head of the table. You’ll have to name the rest of the lioys yourself. Ircshmcn plus a few second year men and transfers. Games played this year included en- counters with La Verne frosh, C. O. Camp. Pomona frosh, San Bernardino J. C., El Centro J. C., Citrus J. C., Chapman frosh, Pepperdine frosh. The highlight of the season, the annual hig game with our San Luis Obispo broth- ers, was lost by just a few points after a desperate battle. Wilbur Mahew, Polvs Hashy-frcsh- man and high point man, did a fine job at forward, playing a hard, fast game all the way. Wilfred McKendrv gave him all the support he needed as the other forward and netted his share of the points, too. rhe center spotlight was shared by two competent men. Leonard Woolsey and Joe Mapes. Max Kohler, one of the cleverest men on the team, was in the upper levels of the scoring column, being able to play either guard or forward position. Harry Foust, showing plenty of fight with speed and energy to burn, promises to lx? one ol next year’s most capable men. The guard position vacated by Abaloc, when he had to leave on an inspector’s job, was filled by Bill Meily, letterman ol the previous year. Bill proved valu- MAX KOHLER Veteran forward and guard . . . topnotch JOE MAPES Center . . . plenty of height and fight LEONARD WOOLSEY WILFORD McKENDRY WILBUR MAHEW Center . .. rugged Forward . . . reliable Forward .. . flashy, and outstanding and shifty high-point man Basketball—an indoor game like football played with an inflated ball and elevated baskets for goals. A dribble or a drip? able as a defense man. Quenton Bruton and Chuck Shaw saw plenty of action in their respective positions with Shaw, at center and Bruton at guard. Bruton is assured a spot on next year’s squad as his skill, vim and vigor marked him as an outstanding man. Doug Smith, at forward, a little short to lx a scoring sensation, was a fast ball handler and shone on defense. Clem Croley, a Northern lad. is one of the prospects for next year’s team. Jim Folger, laid up early in the season with a knee injury, still saw action and did his best work as a defensive guard. Another set-back early in the season was the loss of Andy Foster, who left school at the outbreak ol the war. The members of the team attribute their successful season to the constant teaching and advising of Coach Vernon Meacham, on the job at every game and practice, giving the boys plenty ol sup jx rt throughout the season. Dale Smith, as manager, proved invaluable in help ing Coach Meacham keep the team in shape and always watching over the scorelxH ks. The purpose, boys, is to pass the spheroidal object through the cir cular band as often as possible. Baseball I lie Voorliis baseball squad this year faced some tough competition and came out fighting but not always on top. The weather throughout the season was sur- prisingly favorable and all games were played as scheduled. Five returning let termen formed the nucleus of the team this year; Jim Aba- loc, veteran first baseman; Lew Trussel, outfielder; Bob Hale, playing any posi- tion; Ed I lurst, lirst-call hurler; and Max Kohler, catcher. Max has turned Voorhis head-man, shows the boys how in a practice session by hitting a long one that really gave the outfielders some cross-country practice. Front row (left to right): I laic, Lewis, Kohler, Complin, Roddick, Mavhcw. Second row: Mcacham, Crmvlcv, I lurst, Trussell, Lcko, Smith. MAX KOHLER Catcher JOHN COMPLIN Third base I'OM LEWIS Fielder WILBUR MAI JEW Short Stop HERB STACEY Second Base out consistently line work, being one of the most experienced men on the team. The San Dimas batmen fought many hard game, losing some and winning some. Losses could readily lx attributed to the fact that many of the players lacked experience, but never determ i na- tion. Uniforms were earned by a majority of freshmen this year. Clem Crowlev held down first base and filled in as hurlcr when needed. Laird Roddick controlled the keystone sack and as a newcomer on the diamond, played ex- ceptionally good ball. The hot spot at third was faithfully guarded by Long John Complin, while next to him at short stop. Wilbur May hew stopped those hot ones. Tommy Lewis, one of the outfielders, every once in a while, would let go with a two or three bagger; Mike Lcko, another outfielder, would help him hit the long ones. Others were: Lorn Yoshikawa, an energetic second baseman and reliable pinch hitter; I Ierb Stacey, first base- man, always reliable and full of pep BOB HALE CLEM CROYVLE Fielder First Base LEW TRUSSEL Pilcher Fielder ED HURST Pitcher ; and vinegar; Ike Yokomizo, full of ac- tion. The Mustangs encountered such teams as Pomona frosh, Cal Poly at San Luis, Los Angeles C. C., Santa Ana, Pomona J. C., El Centro. C itrus, and Redlands frosh. Also entering one of the Southern California tournaments, the team placed high, playing against Citrus and Glendora. Under the guiding hand of Coach Vernon Meacham the ball club shaped up line. A thoroughly successful sea- son was the result of constant and tedi- ous practice. Much credit is due Mana- ger I loppy’” Smith, who faithfully exe- cuted his duties all year.

One of the favorite pastimes of every true son of Poly is a process they call “Going In Town ' Almost every hour of the day and night you will see Poly bovs ambitiously trudging back and forth along California boulevard. Hathaway avenue and other main arteries into town. Some are gay, some are thoughtful—most all of them are hopeful that some more fortunate Mustang will pick them up and give them a lift to town. When they arrive in the little metropolis’ they usually spend all the spare cash they can rake up for food, clothes, amusements or necessities. In this section we hope to portray some of the activities of the Mustangs who pcri xlicallv go In Town. WICKENDEN’S The I Ionic of Your Favorite Brands of California Sportswear.
