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.

Production Poultry Club t hese fellows arc go getters and are an active bunch on the Polvtech cam- pus. They like to deep sea fish and are always talking about the “big ones that they haul in. 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.
