LIFE ATHLETIC JOURNAL ---------: o :------------------- FORE W O R I) Each year the editorial staff tries to publish an annual that is different from those previous. Your 1939 El Rodeo has chosen a magazine theme because today, more than ever, we live in a faster tempo. To keep abreast of this pace we have followed the style of several well-known magazines. We have enjoyed publishing this book for you—we hope you enjoy it in the years to come. We wish to thank the editors of LIFE, POWER, CURRENT HIS- TORY, ATHLETIC JOURNAL, and BUSINESS WEEK for allowing us to reproduce their cover designs. No part of this book is a re-print from any of the above magazines. TOM H. McGRATH, Editor. DEDICATION In every college there is one man that is deep in the heart of every student. He is a man who has retained contact with each and every youth that has passed through his instruction, he is a man with whom the stu- dents can be natural, a man who understands men and can be a friend and advisor to men. He is a man that is “as common as an old shoe” yet de- mands respect and dignity through his lack of assumption. There is such a man in this school and it is with the greatest of pleasure tha we dedicate this 1939 El Rodeo to him, HENRY C. FIGGE, Welding Shop and Forge Shop instructor. TO THE STUDENTS: Your El Rodeo annual forms the most permanent link between your college and your memories. May this issue bring you for many years, thoughts of good times, good friends, good opportunities to learn. For the faculty and the administration, I wish you all the success in the world, whether you graduate this year or return for further study and activity at your chosen institution. Julian A.

It takes me back to the days when I was a student at Poly. We had to wear uniforms in those days but we had girls to take our minds off our studies. That fellow throwing the basketball is me but don’t tell anybody. Some of your readers may recognize Mrs. C. E. Knott in the sewing class. She’s the instructor and the girl in front of her is now my wife. You can see by the picture that we had quite a football team in those days. In fact we went through the season without any fatalities. My wife is in the metal shop LIFE SPEAKING OF PICTURES THIS IS HOW POLY STUDENTS PUT OUT FIRES; GO TO DANCES The top pictures show our efficient campus fire engine and fire squad. The best-liked extra-curricular activity at the State Technical college is dancing. Each campus organization sponsors at least one dance during the year and The Collegians, an eleven-piece dance band made up of stu- dents, sponsors dances every Friday night in Crandall Gymnasium, made over into the Collegiate Club. Three lower pictures on this page show students enjoying the Los Lecheros dance, while the fourth shows intermission in the student store. L I F E SPEAKING OF PICTURES—Continued. WORLD’S FAIR ON TREASURE ISLAND ADVERTISES STATE TECHNICAL COLLEGE On Treasure Island in San Fran- cisco bay the California State Poly- technic college has a large theater which gives a half-hour perform- ance four times daily.The pictures, taken on the campus in December, show the entire workings of the state technical college. It will probably increase the enrollment by one-third through its display of the advantages of vocational edu- cation. Treasure Island is also the scene of many stock shows in which stu- dents compete for valuable prizes. Shown here are three champion steers. THIS IS HOW CAL POLY STUDENTS REGISTER Thrice yearly Cal Poly students go through the formality of regis- tering. Since the enrollment has increased so much in recent years it has been necessary to transfer registration proceedings to the gymnasium. Pictured here are a few of the many hundred students who registered this spring. LIFE SPEAKING OF PICTURES—Continued. GLEE CLUB THRILLS AUDI- ENCES ON NORTHERN TOUR Scheduling some fifteen perfor- mances in high schools throughout the northern part of the state, the Cal Poly Glee Club and dance or- chestra did much valuable adver- tising for the school. Every per- formance was well received and invitations were received to return again next year. The dance orchestra was the hit of the trip for they not only played for assemblies but they also gave several dances which were attend- ed by capacity crowds. They went over so well that they received several offers to return later and play for school clubs. Pictured on this page are the school bus, in which the trip was made, a typical crowd seeing them i off, a “jam” session held in a res- taurant, and a specialty number. The trip this year was made up through the cities of the south coast area, around the San Fran- cisco bay district, and into the up- per San Joaquin valley on the re- turn. The glee club trip next year will be made over a different route, perhaps through the Sacramento valley. L I F E SPEAKING OF PICTUKES—Continual. CONCRETE “P” REPLACES WOODEN STRUCTURE Under the leadership of student body president, Harry Wineroth, an enlarged and more lasting “P” was constructed of concrete on the hill east of the school this spring. Some five hundred gallons of whitewash were applied by freshmen and members of the Block “P” club. Building this P was but one of the many fine things that the Block “P” club undertook during the school year. A larger number of initiates were taken into the club this year than have been for many years past. One does not realize the enormous size of this P until he sees the dimen- sions. It is 40 feet tall and 30 feet wide. Freshmen will be required to paint the “P” every year as part of their initiation. LIFE GOES TO A PARTY THE SEVENTH ANNUAL POLY KOVAL In the spring of each year the school opens wide its doors to display its progress to parents and friends. This annual event began as a stock show and developed into a school-wide demonstration. Each year some five thousand persons from all over the west “come, see, and are conquered ’ by the amazing progress made in this unique school. Here students show their parents and friends how they have borrowed money from the student project fund and purchased dairy cattle or hogs and are making them show a profit; they show how they have constructed miniature houses to an accurate scale and landscaped the entire setting; they show how they have learned to heat and cool buildings; they show how they have learned to construct and fly airplanes; they show how they have learned to wind motors and construct radio apparatus; they show how they have learned to operate Diesel electric plants; they show how they have learned to work, play, study, relax. Previous to the opening of the Poly Royal much planning and preparation are necessary each year. Pictured on this page are two of several broadcasts advertis- ing the event. Stu- dents pictured speak- ing over the National Broadcasting com- pany in San Francis- co are Mike Libonati, Tom McGrath and Harry Wi neroth,with Jennings Pierce, di- rector of agricultural programs f o r the western division of NBC. In the KVEC picture are Jim Pap- pas, Vince Garrod, Dal O’Brien, Howard Lewis a n d John Stutzman. LIFE LIFE GOES TO A PARTY—Continued. At 10:00 a. m. on Friday, March 24, General Superintendent Leo Fitzgerald officially opened the Seventh Annual Poly Ropal. Fitzgerald was followed by speeches from President Julian A. McPhee, the Poly Royal queen (see Life’s cover) and Student Body President Har- ry Wineroth. The proceedings took place in the stadium with the Ger- man Band giving comedy relief. Pictured on this page is the jitterbug number by the band, the official opening, and the ancient horse that served as transporta- tion for the band. The horse died the day after this picture was taken. 1 L I F E LIFE GOES TO A PAR'TV—Continued. Student projects were the main attraction and received thousands of visitors. Shown here are two views of the poultry exhibit, a jumping ring displayed by the electrical students, Roy Metz, avi- ation instructor preparing to start a student-overhauled aeroplane engine, and a general view of the aeronautics shop. The Aeronautics department attracted more people than any other industrial exhibit. Small boys were amazed by the construction work being carried on. Air conditioning majors demon- strated re-built household refrig- erators and student-built heaters. Also on display was a three horse- power cooling unit that was capa- ble of cooling a large room down to 70 degrees. Horse trailers and general ser- vice trailers built by the agricul- ture mechanics majors drew many visitors who were surprised at the fine workmanship displayed by the undergraduates. The miniature houses and gar- dens, landscaped to scale, drew many favorable comments from visiting parents and friends. Also a part of the landscaping depart- ment’s exhibit was a plant identifi- cation contest for women. LIFE LIFE GOES TO A PARTY—Continued. Landscaping students construct- ed model homes and surroundings to one-quarter inch scale. Shown here is a two-storv house and gar- age with a tennis court in the side yard. Directly below is the pump ex- hibit constructed by students ma- joring in agricultural mechanics. Various types, makes and sizes of pumps, ranging from deep-well ir- rigation units to small domestic pressure systems were on display. Highlight of the pump show was a water guessing contest, with visi- tors attempting to guess the num- ber of gallons pumped through a water meter in two hours. At the bottom of the page is a view of some of the farm equip- ment that was displayed by local merchants. As there is no county fair for merchants to display their mer- chandise, many find that the an- nual Poly Royal is an excellent op- portunity to place their wares be- fore the public. Tractors, graders, plows, hay bailers, seeders, har- rows, discs and cultivators shown.

Also pictured here is the milk can rolling contest. Anyone could enter with a free ice cream bar given to persons rolling the can around the pole within the given time. In the lower left hand corner is pictured Jim Blake astride the horse he rode in the stock horse competition at the student rodeo on Saturday afternoon. The agriculture students com- peted in many contests that were not possible for industrials due to the nature of their school work. Students themselves participated in many contests. Shown on this page is a pole-climbing contest L I F E LIFE GOES TO A PARTY— Continui. The public was invited to enter many contests and many won val- uable prizes. The “tired business men’s” cow- milking contest is pictured in the lower left hand column while di- rectly below them is shown the winner of the women’s nail-driving contest. At the top of the page is shown a few of the many hundred persons served barbecued meat and brown beans on Saturday afternoon in Poly Grove. People were transported about the 1300-acre campus by impro- vised buses driven by agriculture students. One such bus is shown here. Another view of the pump dis- play is shown below. Below this is the tractor-balanc- ing contest. A prize was given to the man that could balance a trac- tor on an 18-inch log. L I F E LIFE GOES TO A PARTY—Continued. A baseball game was the feature attrac- tion on Friday afternoon with the Cal Poly team defeating the San Luis Obispo All Stars 11 to 8. The Seventh Annual Poly Royal reached its climax on Saturday night with the crown- ing of the queen (see Life’s cover) and her coronation ball, held in Crandall Gymna- sium. Pictured at the bottom of the page are Queen Betty Lou Alexio, and her court Helen Atkinson, Edna Cave. La Verne Alderman and Elizabeth Theroux. r — LIFE FOLLOWS STUDENTS THROUGH A TYPICAL DAY In an assembly this spring Cal Poly students named two students that they believed to be typical of the general run and LIFE has pictured their activities during an average day in college. On the following pages you will see pictures of Ray Peck ham, typical industrial student, and Don Weirs, (Continued on next page) L I F E typical agriculture student. Ray is an air conditioning ma- jor and hopes some day to be an engineer in the field of air conditioning. Don is a meat animal husbandry student and has majored in hog farming. He has already received a posi- tion as foreman of a hog farm. LIFE SHOWS HOW STUDENTS EARN THEIR WAY AT COLLEGE L I F E L I F E I LIFE LETTFRS TO THE EDITOR—Continued. Dear Sir: I am enclosing several pictures of the Block “P” club. Three were taken while I was on the annual trip to Arroyo Seco, the other was taken during a night track meet in which athletes were trying to earn enough points to be eligible for the Block Under the able guidance of Les Vanoncini the club has been ex- tremely active during the past year. Selling hot dogs at football games, sponsoring an exceptional- ly successful fun night and acting as chaperons for the dances have been a few of their activities. The initiation that is held in the spring of each year offers many laughs to the spectators and many sore spots to the initiates. Candi- dates are required to wear about every type of dress imaginable. Boys in dresses, sheets, burlap, boxes and newspapers are a com- mon sight. The initiation lasts a full week and by the end of the seven days the boys are just about ready to call it quits and take a poke at the next fellow that says “kow-tow” or “assume the angle.” The traveling jackets that were purchased by the members of the Block “P” were the envy of the entire student body. I hope you may be able to use some of these pictures in your magazine. Sincerely yours, A Student. L I F E Students will recognize two instructors in these old pictures who are still to be seen on the campus, H. C. Figge, forge shop teacher, and B. R. Preuss, printing instructor, who is now printing the student newspa- per and other cam- pus literature. These pictures were taken 12 to 18 years ago.

It has cost the merchants five dollars a column inch for the advertis- ing which appears on the following pages. They believe that it is money well invested, for through their purchase of advertising space in the El Rodeo they believe that they are enabling the students—their customers— to publish their college annual at a price the students can afford. The merchants of San Luis Obispo have shown their co-operation by taking space in football programs, student newspaper advertising and in many other ways. The cost of this year-book is approximately three dollars, but due to the fine support that we have received from the merchants and other sources, the total appropriation from the student body funds is only about one dollar and fifty cents. The students can show their appreciation by patronizing the merchants whose names appear on these pages.
