V FALL ... 5 WINTER ... 73 SPRING ... 145 Bill Richardson Advertising Manager SUMMER Si SiaU Bob Colomy, Editor A sophomore Agricultural Journalism major, he's a transfer from Nebraska University And here are the other basic staffers—They've pro- duced, this year, a book un- usual in many respects. In fact, they've racked-up a considerable number of yearbook firsts’’: The pre- sale plan, the sponsored page, the summer supple- ment, quarterly divisions, and the earliest delivery date on record. It has been student planned and edited, and, except for the senior portraits, photographs are student produced. It is actu- ally a Cal Poly yearbook. It is their hope that you, too, arc proud of it. Ed Slevin R. Van Brackle Club Editor Associate Editor Peter Meeks Don McDaniels Frank Reische Tom Kennedy Photographer Photographer Photographer Darkroom Technician It is the aim of this Yearbook to show that Colleges, especially Cal Poly, are never still. We, the staff, attempt to show the development of the student not alone academically but the student out of class — the student at play, at work, between classes, at club meetings, and activities. These are the formative hours of habit that will remain with the College grad long after he has forgotten Copernicus. President, California State Polytechnic College Robert E.

No better examples of 'round-the-clock activity can be found than Cal Poly's top executives.

Attributing the year's financial success to the sale of Frosh Cards ot fall registration, the Class of '57, with over 600 students, possessed a bankroll of nearly S600 as the year opened, making if the best financially-equipped Frosh class in Poly history. After experiencing one of the best laid orientation programs in many years, the Frosh upset traditional standards by nipping the Sophomores in the annual Soph-Frosh Brawl. Paying the prescribed penalty, the losers maintained the Poly P during the year. In late January, the class sponsored a highly success- ful ' Polar Prom, despite the unseasonably warm weather. A large crowd, composed mostly of couples, attended the event. Serving as class adviser was Dr. Edgar A. Hyer, social science instructor.

W57 Directly below and to the lower left is a portion of the 1953-54 Freshman class: A group of students who came from all parts of the country this year to participate in Cal Poly's learn-by-doing method of instruction. Agriculturalists, engineers, and liberal arts majors all worked together on the Poly campus throughout the year on a common level of understanding. This group is among those who will be respon- sible in years to come for Poly’s continued growth and recognition as one of the nation's outstanding educational institutions.

To help combot the tun ot Avilo, the BAH DRUG suppliet tun tan oil ond helps fill many other needs from their complete stock of itcmt. At the beginning of each quarter and especially in the Fall quarter of each year, special activities are held for the benefit of new students arriving to attend Cal Poly. The program is designed to acquaint the new student with the administration, the guidance center, medical benefits available on the campus, and, most interesting to the new students, the local townspeople . . . and their daughters. This past fall, orientation activities were under sponsorship of the Rally Committee. They had something planned for the Frosh day and night for a week before registration started ... a beach party down at Avila, a dance in Crandall Gym, an assembly at which President McPhee and all the others who preside over the external and internal affairs of the school gave welcome. The Frosh might have been overawed at the reception accorded them, but they knew whom to see when they wanted to see someone they wanted to see. Going oft r ' o big on oi the beach parly.

A more polite version of the brawl is found in the courtship of the ancient caveman. Loser of the brawl is expected to main- tain the 'P'. This year, the incoming class showed great promise in winning the brawl and not having to paint the ‘P .

The Class of '56 was overpowered af the beginning of the year by an un- usually strong Freshman Class at the annual Soph-Frosh brawl. The Soph- omores then had to pay the traditional penalty of repairing the P.” A dona- tion drive was held and a record player was given away to build finances. The Sophomore Smoker was held March 5 and movies of the East-West Game were shown. The Sophs also held a dance and put up a booth at the Poly Royal Carnival.

Subordinate groups in the SAC, in- cluding the Intcr-Club Council, Inter- Departmental Council, the various boards, and the four classes consti- tuted the origin of a wide scope of problems, many of which were ulti- mately handled by SAC. Without citing specific examples, it is sufficient to say that the overall effectiveness with which the board handled these diversified problems merits special recognition and real faith in student government.

Davidson, spent another busy year in the realms of melody and enter- tainment. With a collegiate dance orchestra that ranked among the best in the state, a 70- man glee club, and a fast-stepping newly-uniformed band. Poly's musicians strengthened their claim as another boost of the coast. The glee club and orchestra, capable of producing both rib-tickling comedy and long hair music with equal skills, spread entertainment and Poly publicity through- out the Sacramento valley during this year's annual spring tour. Davey and 40 specially-selected touring vocalists staged 20 performances within a week's time. Indispensable element of the music department, the extremely popular Majors Minors and the Collegiate quartet this year went big time. And arrangements for their appcaronces on TV in both Los Angeles and Santo Barbara were nearly complete as this copy went to press. BEIOW, the brilliant Col Poly bond, which earned general accloim during the yeor ond helped spork the Muttong football team to nationol recognition.

Crops Department graduates are qualified for seed sales ond service, weed and pest control, field men, U. S. Government Work, processing plants and shipping firms. The Crop Department is further broken down into highly specialized cate- gories: Field, Fruit, and Truck crops. Each prepares graduates for jobs in their re- spective fields. Department Head Paul Dougherty Department Head George M. Drumm The Dairy Department maintains an out- standing breeding herd of Guernsey, Hol- stein, and Jersey breeds of approximately 175 head. It includes several national champion producing cows, leading show animals, and noted sires. This herd is maintained in a modern unit with the latest of equipment by the students, many of whom own their own animals. Gradu- ates find employment as farm managers, feed salesmen, herdsmen, vo-ag teachers, dairy plant foremen, inspectors, salesmen, and testers. Datsuf, Defit. LEFT TO RIGHT: Harmon Toonc.

Department Head Logan Carter The function of this department is to pro- vide training in Soils Science for students enrolled in other majors of the Agricul- tural Division; and to prepare students in the occupational fields of soils, soil con- servation, range management, teaching, farm bureau and, general farming. Courses in Soils Science ore developed by integrating lecture, laboratory, and field courses to train students for its applica- tion in agricultural production. Facilities of the department have been recently expanded to provide larger laboratory and field space to meet the requirements of this program. Veterinary Science courses are offered to sup- plement the major work provided in the animal science department of the Agricultural Division. Keeping the college herds and flocks healthy provides the students with valuable laboratory opportunities in basic veterinary hygiene. The department also supplies meat inspection serv- ice for animals butchered in the meat labora- tory. Doctors Allen and Frier treat herd diseases and perform all animal surgery done on campus.

This was largely due to technological change and Poly's widespreading fame for programs that are useful upon graduation. Learn-by-doing is hailed by employers of Poly grads as giving the Poly grad up to as much as six months advantage over graduates from most other engineering col- leges. He was ready to go to work the day that I hired him, said one satisfied employer. £nyi te U«ty ‘Doui iMt Lester Gustafson Dept.

The “Silver Fox” served notice last year when he guided the Poly eleven to its first CCAA cham- pionship and an overall record of seven wins and three losses. Hughes’ straight “T” attack brought to Poly an offensive machine capable of scoring from any point on the field. So to Coach Roy Hughes goes the thanks of a grateful and still excited Cal Poly student body. The tremendous strength of the Mustang line this year is vivid proof of the line coaching abilities of Howie O’Daniels. Howie devel- oped a wrecking crew that was fearsome but fascinating—to Poly. “Mr. Conditioner”, himself, is Sheldon Harden. And he rates plenty of plaudits for turning out the finest collection of ends we’ve ever seen around here, and for keeping Mustang injuries to a commendable minimum. Safudos! You can have the best coaching, the finest equipment, the most sensational spirit and all the rest of those nice-sounding advantages —but if you don’t have the horses, friend, you ain’t gonna' win foot- ball games. Cal Poly, 1953, had the horses. And how! The gridiron powerhouse fielded by Poly this year revolved around the excellent football evenings turned in by the 12 men pictured on the next page. The names of Alex Bravo, Stan Sheriff, Vie Buccola, Thad Murrin, Bob Law- son, Sheldon Williams, Bob Heas- ton. Bob Neal, Perry Jeter, Joe Bosnich, Bud Chadwick and Newt Wakeman were carried in print every week—and they rated every good word said about them. Though these 12 were terrific, they were by no means the whole show. It may sound trite to some, but the fact remains that without the help of about 25 other boys. Cal Poly would not have come near the fine record they posted in 1953. So here’s to our team—Saludos, Team! For a job well done! About The Green Machine . . . Throw away those rusty “0-88” memories. Mustangs, ’cause King Football has •’arrived” at our own Cal Poly campus! The 1953 football year was reserved for Coach Roy Hughes’ Mustang grid machine—do you realize that only one college in California managed to scramble through the season undefeated and untied? It was Cal Poly. Before going further, let’s doff our toppers to the Green and Gold gridders for bringing the CCAA championship for the second straight year. Let's thank ’em, too, for bouncing our northern neighbors, Fresno State, right out of their own backyard. And better yet, for smashing the Devils from down San Diego way—and for shaking off the dreaded Whittier college jinx.

The Poly steamroller traveled to San Diego expecting its toughest game againsl the rugged Aztecs. They got just thot, too, but only for a little while! The finol score stood at 33-12, Poly, as the San Diego crew was smashed by a tougher, rougher, smarter Mustang defense. Paul Held, clever Aztec quarterback, was humiliated—he had five of his passes intercepted. Norm Nygoard, the Aztec full- back, who is o top performer, broke away but one time against the defense topped by Mustangs Bud Chadwick, Bob Heaston, Joe Bosnich and Vic Buccola. San Diego scored first, but the Mustangs struck back quickly with Thad Murrin ond Bob Lawson carrying the brunt of the attack. Both Murrin and halfback Bob Smith returned inter- cepted passes to paydirt. Reserve fullback Curt Reade showed well for Poly, too, as he notched his first payoff plunge of the campaign. Fresno State returned to the CCAA gridiron wars in 1953 with a team supposedly loaded with talent. The Bulldogs were good, but not good enough. The Mustangs trampled them in their own backyard, 27-6. An enthusiastic band of Poly rooters journeyed to the Roisin city to glimpse the renewal of a friendly rivalry. They were treated to a preview of glorious things to come! Quarterback Bobby Neal played his finest game of the season, and the talents of half- back Perry Jeter, Poly’s great sophomore, were bril- liantly exhibited. Fullback Bob Lawson turned in his first of a series of fine performances, as did the entire forward wall led by Little All-American center Stan Sheriff. The game was not without its sour note, however, as guard George Cockerfon went out for the season with a broken ankle right after the opening kickoff.

Every Mustang gridder got in the act, and they all turned in fine efforts, but it was the line that earned the lion's share of the credit. Stan Sheriff and Vic Buc- cola were their oil-time best, and tackles Bob Heoston and Sheldon Williams were downright vicious.

Still unbeaten at the time, the Gators boasted one of the finest passers in California in quarterback Maury Duncan. Duncan was the best passer the Mus- tangs faced, but the final score still read Poly 46, State 14! The game was highlighted by the sensational play of Alex Bravo, who slashed for 153 yards in 13 carries, caught two passes for 48 yards, returned a pair of kick- offs for 47 yards and counted two touchdowns! In a word, Boom Boom was great. Perry Jeter scored on two electrifying runs of 65 and 87 yards, the loiter coming after a pass from quarterback Bob Smith. The middle of the Poly line composed of Joe Bosnich, Vic Buccola and Stan Sheriff was tremendous, and reserve halfback Mel Hawkins thrilled the capacity crowd with the block of the year when he paved the way for Jeter's 87 yard ramble. 43 • Bob towson, Col Poly's toned Bull , proved roo lough for o poir of Whillier linemen on Ihis ploy, lowson smashed for o score behind blocking of tackles Bob Hcoston (59) ond Sheldon Willioms. i flint 64 Stolen .

Aside from blasting the dread favorite jinx that existed between Poly and Whittier, the Mustang win helped erase last year's bitter Homecoming loss to the Poets. Alex Bravo had a great night, rambling for two important scores on runs of 64 and 15 yards, while Thad Murrin broke his scoring drouth with a pass interception teedee run of 65 yards. Bravo's long romp was a beauty, and he was helped greatly by a Stan Sheriff block that erased two Whittier boys at once. End Dick Moran returned to action long enough to take a five-yard aerial from Bobby Neal for the Mustangs' first score. Bob Heaston, Vic Buccola, Dick Mathias and Ron Sevier turned in fine efforts up front, while Ron Davcy and the aforementioned Lawson were other backfield standouts.

Perhaps the prettiest play of the night was the 11-yard scoring pass from quarterback Ron Davey to end Newt Wakeman. Davcy slickered the Wave defenders completely and Wakeman was all alone in the end zone when he made the catch. Boom Boom” Bravo added two scores to his total and Bob Neal sneaked over for his second teedee of the season.

The Hughesmen rolled over a hapless Los Angeles State eleven by a 51 -0 count. Finest individual performance of the season was turned in by half- back Perry Jeter in this one, as the great sophomore carried the ball 11 times for 133 yards, took one pass for 59 yards and a touchdown, rambled for scoring runs of 15, 35 and 39 yards, and was a whirlwind on defense. Thod Murrin turned in the finest run of the night, however, when he went 35 yards with a swing pass. Other men showing well were Ron Davey, Bravo, Lawson, Bill Moore ond Bob Smith. Muttong Bob Smith appeared stopped on this play but pulled free for eight yards and a first down in the IA Stole gore. Another Bulldog stepped into the Mustang corral in the next-to- last game of the season. It was Redlands university—a club with a fine 6-1 record. It was the same story. Poly moved by land and air to a 51-6 victory and a firmer hold on its claim as the finest small-college football team in the land. Halfback Jimmy Miller continued as the one-ploy sensation. He snaked his way 56 yards into the end zone on his single excursion with the pigskin. Lawson, Murrin, Jeter, Bravo, Neal and Curt Reade were outstanding once again. In the line, stal- warts were Heasfon, Bosnich, Dick Mathias, Wally Oshiro, Dick Hay and Sheriff.

Warm day and nights gave no indication that fall was here. But on Poly Oval, there wasn't any question, as three foot- ball games sec-sawed up and down the field. Twelve brave men (six on each team) pushed, butted, shoved, and threw each other to the ground. This was it. This was fun. This was Cal Poly's Intramural football program.

Circle K, sponsored by the local Kiwanis club, is an international organization of college campus service clubs modeled after the traditional Kiwanis. Cal Poly's branch received its charter in June, 1953. Since that time, it has presented Poly with a football mascot, sold specially-bagged peanuts for Kiwanis National Kids' Day; and operated the informa- tion booth at freshman orientation. Club membership is limited to two members from each department on the campus. 90 FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT; R. Delcve. J. Schlotter, J. Weaver. R. Bruno. SECOND ROW: C. McCorkle. J. Solo, R. Campbell.

The primary function of the collegiate chapter of the Future Farmers of America is to help prepare its future teachers for service as advisers to high school FFA chapters. It also serves as an amalgamat- ing organization for the prospective agri- cultural teachers who are drown from the various argicultural majors at the college. Cal Poly’s chapter offers a special oppor- tunity for those considering vocational ag- riculture teaching to learn more about the over-all agricultural education pro- gram, and to gain experience which will prove beneficial in setting up, organizing, and advising an FFA chapter. The prospective teacher of agriculture who fakes an active part in the collegiate FFA chapter will feel more at ease, have more confidence, and will be better-fitted for a job as adviser to the local chapter in which he becomes the teacher of voca- tional agriculture. Cal Poly's student members assist with the conduct of many state-wide FFA ac- tivities which are held on the campus each year. Col Poly collegiato FFA alumni frequently return to compu� to relate their experience! ond advite the member� dill in training. FRONT ROW, IEFT TO RIGHT: H. Burlingham, K. Kliewer. J. Toylor. J.

Deuel dormitory, landscaped to bring out the charm of its graceful architecture, is the oldest and most photogenic dormitory on Poly’s nature-blessed campus. Within its spacious halls this year were housed mostly sophomore students. They were a part of the first group of first-year students to profit by campus orientation, as a group, in 1 952-53. In transferring to Deuel, they brought with them the ideas of democratic community participation learned as freshmen. The result has been excellent overall morale and adaptability to fruitful living in an environment away from home. FRONT ROW, IEFT TO RIGHT: 0. Davis, M. Abroms, D. Anderson, E. Duenas, J. Miller, J.

One of the nation' two campu Granges, the Cal Poly Grange is the college's only campus organiza- tion that gives equal membership to both husbands and wives, as well as single students, and is open actively to both the student body and staff. Its primary purpose is to work with the nation-wide Grange to further agriculture, help the needy, de- velop talents of individual members, promote con- sistently higher types of citizenship, perform com- munity civic service, and enjoy social and cultural interests common to its members. The only other campus Grange is at Ohio State. One of the most valuable aspects of membership to Cal Poly students is the ready introduction the Grange provides for new-comers seeking acquaint- ances at college and the equally ready introduction awaiting Cal Poly Grangers in every part of the State.

Cal Poly's International Relations club constantly worked toward further understanding among the many nationalities on the campus through discus- sion of their varied cultures, customs and social and political problems. Since there were students from thirty-four coun- tries of the world on Cal Poly's home campus, the IRC encouraged both foreign and American stu- dents to discuss their ideas and experiences at IRC semi-monthly meetings and at social gatherings. Among the cctivities in which the club participated was their observance on campus of United Nations Week and Brotherhood Week; sponsorship of a student body Rendez-vous Dance”, panel dis- cussion meetings on current topics of world interest, and the Cal Poly soccer team; and their participa- tion in the fourth annual Model United States , the Poly Royal International Exhibition, and the San luis Obispo Art Show.

The Mustang Flying Association was organized in the fall of 1946 for students and faculty so they might learn to fly or keep up with their flying. This extra-curricular activity is provided at the lowest possible cost for all. The association has four airplanes for instruction or for the building of flying hours. Their headquarters are located at Cal Poly’s own airport and, as might be expected, their principle activity is flying. They have frequent meetings throughout the year. Their programs include guest speakers and movies on the subject of aircraft and flying. Truthfully, the Mustang Flying Association is the host-group of Cal Poly's campus air port — a well-outfitted welcoming mat which has attracted numerous fliers from all over the West — many a visitor having flown in to attend one of the college’s frequent short courses or conventions. Using a Flying Association plane or some similar Poly-housed craft, members of the faculty, judging teams, rodeo teams have gone via air to far-off appointments. Cal Poly is air-minded — the Flying Association helps keep it so. 0. ‘•V -'Asa FRONT ROW. LEFT TO RIGHT: E. Mjelde, A. Turner, B. Khelo, 8. Tripp !, V. Pearson, J. Merson. BACK ROW: C.

Yet a yearbook that represents Cal Poly has special ties to the future. Fresh and vigorous in its programs. Cal Poly is indeed a college unbound by outworn traditions. The growth of its present Master Building Program—betokened by Swiss Hill’s new Dairy Unit on this page—is but another indication of the surging growth and expansion destined for Cal Poly's ideas and philosophies today— and tomorrow. Quite appropriately, your 1954 EL RODEO will also continue to grow. For the first time, it presents a Summer Supplement. Sometime in mid- summer, each of you may expect to receive at your home address a 20-page addition, ready to insert permanently. It will cover Poly Royal, spring sports, the 1954 Commencement activities. It has been a real challenge to produce this book as a product of student labor and learn- ing. To all of you, pictured or unpictured, thanks for your forebearance and goodly assistance. Good luck. And God bless you. £citt yi and Sta great western f IRRO-GRAPHIC box 549 • glendale 5, calif. 0 e
