The cannon ' s first blast was at the 1963 Big Game. Senior Class Senior Class interests are always centered on and on serious business meetings at La Val ' s. Despite the fact that the senior class president was unable to attend the first few meetings (he wasn ' t 21), quite a bit was accomplished. The most decision made by the class was to give the University a cannon. The gift made its debut at the Big Game and a new tradition began: the cannon will be fired whenever Cal scores at a football game. Other senior activities include after-rally dances in Pauley Ballroom and a record, " Sounds of Cal " done in cooperation with the Freshman Class. Senior Week Activities include the traditional pilgrimage, Senior Ball and the election of the Sweetheart. Senior Class Council at work. Sproul Awards The Robert Gordon and Ida W.
