Activities early in the school year in- cluded a bonfire rally, lighting of the “P”, assemblies, and pre-game rallies. Highlight of the rally “schedule” was the car caravan to Santa Barbara in which more than 150 cars from Poly participated. Assemblies, which were held on the athletic field while weather permitted, were soon “retired” to the Engineering Auditorium, where similar assemblies were held at consecutive hours for the agricultural and industrial divisions.

fairs council. Bill Armstrong was elected chairman and John Lesley, secretary. A rooters section was formed with student wives taking part in the cheering section. The rally committee arranged a joint rally and car caravan to the Santa Bar- bara game. With aid of the music department the Rally Committee put on a nice show for the towns people during the Whittier game. After Betty Jo Bewley finished twirling her flaming batons, the rally committee passed out matches that were lit in the dark by the rooters. For the homecoming game with San Francisco a Serpentine rally was held in down- town San Luis Obispo, with a huge bon- fire rally held on the campus. The “P” on the hill was lit up in red flares to add to the sight. For the El Toro game a huge bull was made out of canvas and a regular bull fight was held in the middle of the field with El Mustang Bill Arm- strong as the challenger. Before the Chico game a large thea- ter rally was held. Student Court LEFT TO RIGHT: Melvin Bell, Crispin Wood, Jim Coleman, James Rudden, Jay Tucker, AI Park.
