Cal State Polytechnic College - El Rodeo Yearbook (San Luis Obispo, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1946 volume:

DEDICATION JK millions of grateful Americans the honorable discharge emblem is more than an insignia of post-war civilian status. It is a symbol of the courage and strength of American manhood and womanhood. But to the average ex-G.I. the discharge emblem is no more glamorous than the nickname which he has given to it—the “ruptured duck.” We, who may wear this emblem, are proud of our buddies for taking this down-taearth attitude. We are sure that the eighty percent of the Cal Poly student body who are ex-servicemen will join us in dedicating the 1946 El Rodeo to the fun and laughter symbolized by the “ruptured duck.” EL RODEO...1946 OAHHUQX Crandall Gymnasium, California Polytechnic College Contents VIEWS .......... 2 DEPARTMENTS . 7 CLASSES ....... 33 ACTIVITIES .... 43 ATHLEICS....... 71 ON CAMPUS...... 89 IN TOW N.......105 Published by the ASSOCIATED STUDENTS CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE San Luis Obispo JUNE, 1946 Staff GLENN ARTHUR Editor JOHN SHEA Assistant Editor BEN GUPTON Business Manager CHARLES CHAPMAN Photographer R.

ONE of the most unusual and practical de- partments at Cal Poly, the Animal Hus- bandry department, did much for the college during the past school year. Poly students were not to be outdone in the Great Western Livestock exhibition and they continued to hold the grand champion steer for the second year in a row. The purebred rams the sheep de- partment sold at the state ram sale were more than just mutton. In this same connection it might also be mentioned that a few of those very agile thoroughbred horses at Santa Anita got their start at Cal Poly. A first-rate show was given by the students who rode in the inter-collegiate rodeo in Ari- zona this year and the team missed winning first prize by one point. On the campus, the department club, Boots and Spurs, should be given credit for the ex- SPELMAN B. COLLINS, runs the sheep unit. A slender, quiet guy. Knows more about sheep than the sheep do.

Students call him Harry, Likes to tell stories about his work and travels. cellent work done in social organizations and as college spirit builder-uppers.” This year the Boots and Spurs sponsored and organized many parties, barn dances, barbecues, and gen- eral informal get-togethers that help make college life forever remembered. The Poly Royal rodeo and itock show is always something special. This year, as usual, the Boots and Spurs did a splendid job putting on the show, arranging prizes, and obtaining contestants. The animal husbandry department furnished some eighty head of livestock, in- cluding prize sheep, hogs, and cattle. The stu- dents did an exceptionally fine job with their animals this year and the practical experience obtained was invaluable. The Boots and Spurs officers were Brad Arrington, president and Paul Bowman, secretary-treasurer.

LOS LECHEROS, the dairy club at Cal Poly, was represented by approximately seven per cent of the entire student body at the end of the spring quarter. Under the leadership of Don Mann, the club grew from a mere handful of students in the fall of 1945 to over 35 mem- bers in the spring of 1946. Returning students and veterans formed the nucleus of the club. Activities of the club were many and in- cluded an ice cream” social at the student store, El Corral. The ice cream was made by the ice cream class under the able supervision of George Ilg. Bertolini and Anderson went to the Guernsey consignment sale at Turlock and assisted George Drumm in presenting some fine animals. Ambrosini and Shea showed animals at the Jersey sale at Tulare on May 17 and enjoyed a three day vacation away from college. The biggest activity of the club was the par- ticipation in the 14th Annual Poly Royal. A high caliber of showmanship was exhibited in the various animal classes shown, with the plaque for Grand Champion going to Roger Righetti for his excellent heifer. The Butter- eeno” contest proved lucky to some of the fair guests as they went home with a pound of the scarcest item in San Luis Obispo—butter. Two weeks after Poly Royal a Milkman’s Jamboree” was held in Crandall Gym and one of the most entertaining student body dances of the year was enjoyed by everyone. The cotton and cord” dance, honoring Fiesta de Las Flores queen candidate, Susan Rowe, fea- tured the music of A1 Tenschure and his Santa Maria band. Merv Mayer handled the M.C. The theme, Milkman, Keep Those Bottles Quiet,” was much in keeping with the decora- tions and the entertainment that was pre- sented. Highlight achievements of the year were the successful undertakings at ice cream, cheese, and butter making using student-built equip- ment. The student owned project animals sup- plied the Veterans’ Village,” El Corral and the college cafeteria with milk and cream, and helped the students financially. Officers for the year were Don Mann, presi- dent, Francis Walker, vice-president, and Mer- val Mayer, sec-treasurer. Vic Bertolini and Dan Noorlander represented the club at SAC meetings and Earl Ambrosini was representa- tive of the club in the Poly Royal Executive Committee. John Shea was publicity director for the 14th Annual Poly Royal. AERO INDUSTRIES M. C. MARTINSEN, C.O. of the aero department. Teaches construc- tion theory and shop.

METZ Engines Cal Poly now boasts a new air strip. 3000 feet long by 200 feet wide, which will enable the aero depart- ment to fly in ships for repairs and to take off on t est hops. The construction work was done by an En- gineering battalion at Camp San Luis Obispo in ex change for instruction for their men provided by teachers at Poly. During Poly Royal the flight stri p was used to display several models of light air- planes flown in by manufacturers.

THIS was the year the Aeronautical depart- ment of Cal Poly began to gather momen- tum. The ending of the war brought the be- ginning of a trickle of home coming students that soon turned into a stream. Old friends met again for the first time in years. But this department didn't wait for a big class to show- results; with a small number of students the department rebuilt a Hanger, three Contin- entals, and a Lycoming engine. The depart- ment produced a completely rebuilt Cub and modified a Porterfield aircraft. The members of the Aero Club will probably remember the traditional initiation ceremony at Oceano, the field trip to Santa Maria to witness the dedication of Hancock Field, and the annual spring barbecue. Able club leaders were President Tom Leonard, and Secretary Clark Burton. Memories of the Aero department do not be- gin and end with field trips and dances. The many well spent hours with Instructor Roy Metz overhauling, rebuilding, cleaning, polish- ing, learning by doing it right, bull sessions in the dorm, burning the midnight oil, assign- ments, exams, report cards, are the many pieces that build our department. The Aero department head is M. C. Martin- sen, who has been an instructor and counselor since 1930. Recently this department received as surplus material, one of the latest models of a Navy Wildcat fighter plane, along with four power- ful, modern Pratt Whitney and Wright en- gines.

Because of the War’s demand of students, no classes were held from June, 1943 to Septem- ber, 1944, and the 1944-45 school year was not an outstanding success. Of the small group who started in September, all except three were serving the armed forces by the end of the year. In September, 1945, however, the enrollment of a large number of new students and the re- turn of some older students increased activity to such a point that things are again begin- ning to seem normal to Mr. Hyer, Mr. Cook, and Mr. Wolf, instructors in the department. The boys have been very busy getting the shop set up for normal operation, as well as developing many unusual and surprising ex- hibits for Poly Royal. This included running new circuits to various units on the campus, to facilitate spot broadcasts for Poly Royal, and other special broadcasts during the year. The annual field trip, which in former years was one of the outstanding events of the year, was re-established this spring. From April 2 to April 5, this interesting and educational trip included visits to power stations, repair shops, telephone exchanges, radio stations, and other organizations using electrical equipment. The men see practical applications of theories they study in school, and, in many cases, discover the fields they wish to enter after graduation. Representing the electrical industries, the Poly Phase club has resumed activity under the leadership of President Milton Brown, and promises to re-establish itself as an active par- ticipant in campus affairs.

CROPS, farm equipment, weeds, and trees .,. yes, this is the Crops Production depart- ment. This is the department which works and slaves on the pruning and grafting of de- cidious fruit trees and the growing of the crops on Cal Poly’s acreage. Under the capable direction of Mr. Paul Dougherty, faculty adviser, and his two able student assistants, Bob Garvey, president, and Max Lescot, secretary, the Crops Club again pushed ahead under full steam. During the first quarter, only nine students were enrolled in the department. The member- ship then steadily increased with the return of many former members who had taken time out from their school work by the request of Uncle Sam. These veteran members immedi- ately added stimulus to the campus activities, and when the school year was completed, a quick counting of proboscises was taken and it was found that there were fifty students in the Crops Club. Under the direction of Ken Holmes, former navy dive bomber pilot, a highly successful Valentine dance was held during the winter quarter — highlighted by a genuine pair of ladies Nylon hose as a door prize. The dance was held in the gym and the decorations were large red hearts on a background of fresh al- mond blossoms, which sent the dancers home with the feeling that spring was in the air. During the latter part of March, a student family garden was inaugurated with over twenty of the students and their families par- ticipating. This gave the student a small gar- den with which to supplement his income. The final social event of the year was a beach party held at Avila. Everyone enjoyed himself eating hot-dogs and getting his feet wet. HORTICULTURE WILBUR B. HOWES Horticulture WILBUR B. HOWES. Forever busy smiles a lot. Tough assign- ments.

Willard Hagen, horticulture major, is student manager of the glass houses and lath house. He has charge of sales of potted plants, bed- ding plants, ornamental shrubs and trees. rriHE Horticulture Department does a good job of keeping our lawns and flower gardens in top shape. The department was organized in 1932, with Mr. William Troutner being one of its first students. While it is known to be one of the smallest departments here, it is certainly not the least. Horticulture students are among the most genial and good natured people on the campus. It must be the flowers that affects them. The annual field trip that was taken each year before the war, was inaugurated again this year with a successful trip to the San Francisco area. Alternating every other year in going to San Francisco and Los Angeles, the boys really further their education. Just before the war ended there were but six fellows under Mr. Howes' tutorship, but now the picture has changed considerably. Thirty-eight eager stu- dents are now receiving excellent instruction. Poly boys have sent and brought back many new and different seeds from the Pacific, so if you see any strange things growing around here, don't be alarmed. Trial seeds have been sent to the department by various companies for advance planting. Some of these plants won’t be on sale until 1947. We also have new turf on the football field due to the Horticul- tural Department. Over four thousand intro- ductory plants were planted in gallon cans and distributed to twenty-six different high schools throughout the state last quarter. The Horticulture Club did a good job this year under the able leadership of Archie Ah- rendes. They sponsored a successful dance last quarter and had a real afternoon of fun in the form of a chicken barbecue. Hoy Swanson is vice president and Neil McCarty is secretary. New buildings and more gardens are being planned, so you can look forward to seeing more real beauty spots on our campus. MECHANICAL INDUSTRIES NORMAN SHARPE Theory JAMES MCDONALD A. C. Lab.

The Air Conditioning club, incorporated witn the usual scholastic activity, is led by John Miller, and although not too eminent socially it has and continues to contribute greatly to- ward such campus activities as the Poly Royal and many others. It has also on occasion complied with local citizens’ requests for aid with their air conditioning displays. Probably the most interesting activities of the club are the frequent field trips made to other com- munities. These trips consist mainly of the visiting and observation of various prominent air conditioning installations in major build- ings in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco. The department itself is extremely capable in producing men thoroughly versed in every aspect both theoretical and practical of air conditioning. The Mechanical Engineering department is at present forming a club to be called the Poly Engineers, and should become active within a few' months’ time. This department, headed by Mr. C. E. Knott and instructed by Mr. J. H. McGrath, is devoted mostly to prac- tical drafting work and other affiliated phases of Mechanical Engineering. The drafting prac- tice is usually a requisite for students ma- joring in an industrial subject offered at the college such as Aeronautical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The Architectural Department, although now' non-existent, is slowdy but surely ap- proaching its old status as an integral part of the other industrial courses. Before the war the department was very active but at present there are only three students major- ing in architecture here at school. However, the department shows signs of a possible re- birth under the direction and instruction of Mr. J. H. McGrath. POULTRY PRODUCTION RICHARD I. LEACH. One of the best poultry men in the business.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Prize winning birds and their owners. T ASS another drumstick.” How about some more chicken?” Happy birthday, Mr. Leach!” Where did you say the ice cream was?” Those were some of the remarks heard when the poultry students were enjoying the annual turkey banquet, chicken fry, and special surprise birthday party for our sponsor Mr. Leach. The annual turkey banquet held No- vember 17 in honor of the poultry alumni, and the chicken fry held February 23, were the usual successful events with the feather mer- chants,” their wives, and girl friends gorging themselves on turkey and fried chicken. The surprise birthday party given for Mr. Leach was celebrated in El Corral where a good time was had by all. With 33 members in the poultry club this year it is the largest poultry club to date. Under the guidance of President Allen Ren- wick and Secretary Jay Chubby Tucker it has been one of the active clubs on the campus. Another event of major importance this year was the Poultry show during Poly Royal. Each member had an entry in this show. The Blow- out” this spring was a hilarious affair. At this time the student who had earned the most money in the poultry unit treated ‘The Gang' to a show. The second highest in earning bought the refreshments. This went on down to the last man who bought a stick of gum for the crowd. This occasion has always brought a pleasant ending to a year of hard work. Much has been accomplished by the poultry department this year including expanding the poultry breeding program and the hatching and sale of a large number of chicks to various poultrymen. Poly chicks were recently sent as far as Hawaii when Bob Wong, a sophomore poultry major, sent them to his parents farm in Hawaii.

A LTHOUGH the Agricultural Inspection De- partment started off slowly this year, it was like a snowball traveling down hill; the farther it went, the bigger it got. The number of Agricultural Inspection students enrolled for the Spring quarter was double the number enrolled during the Winter quarter. This was largely because of the return of old students from various branches of the service, plus the enrollment of new students. At the start of the Winter quarter, a smoker was held in El Corral for the purpose of better acquainting the new students and returned vet- erans. An informal dance held in El Corral during the Winter quarter turned out to be practically a married couples affair, with very few single fellows present. The most outstanding affair of the Inspection Department was the field trip organized by Mr. Fetters and taken through the northern coun- ties. The group went up the San Joaquin Val- ley, through Sacramento and down the coast to the campus. Stops were made to see the agri- cultural commissioners of the various counties traveled in, to get the latest information con- cerning each county. The trip was very in- formative and thoroughly enjoyed by all the students. With a good group of students to choose from, two committees were formed to carry out activities for Poly Royal. A quarantine station was set up by one committee at the school en- trance to acquaint the public with quarantine procedures and also stress the importance of the state quarantine laws. The other committee made interesting displays showing the part agricultural inspection plays in agriculture. Club officers are: Charlie Borax” Watts, president; Jim Williams, vice-president; Jim Tecate” Bazzetta, secretary. AGRICULTURE MECHANICS JAMES MEKSON Headman LEO SANKOFF Lab.

The June graduates were a very small portion of the class. Under the leadership of president Tom Leon- ard, the seniors were the most active influence on the campus. Composed mostly of wheels, the seniors were the guiding light for most of the important functions of the student body. Les Vanoncini, senior class vice president, was general superintendent of Poly Royal; Tom Woods acted as assistant superintendent of Poly Royal; Allen Renwick, senior class secre- tary. filled the position of student manager; Ad Santel, a technical graduate, was president of the student body; Glenn Arthur edited the El Rodeo. The Coronation Ball during Poly Royal was sponsored by the senior class under the direc- tion of Dwight Wait, Poly Royal treasurer and chairman of the queen and princess committee. A plaque in memory of Poly's War Dead was presented to the college by the senior class. A barbecue was held at Estrada gardens where Mr. Spellman Collins, class advisor was chief barbequer. Beans, salad, and other re- freshments supplented the barbecued lamb.

STARTING off the year almost without mem- bers, the Junior class grew as the second quarter rolled around and the veterans re- turned to start college life anew. With the new additions to the class, organization became a realization and officers were elected for the year. Under the watchful eye of Paul Dough- erty, class sponsor, George Dewey was chosen president to guide the juniors over third cruise at Poly. John Shea was elected secretary- treasurer and assisted in piloting the class through its year’s course. Before the final week of the winter quarter the student wives were honored by a dance sponsored by the juniors. The theme was the housing shortage and it was carried out with a small house built in one corner of the dance floor fully furnished and ready for occupation. The Hungry Five made their first public appearance at the inter- mission playing several novelty pieces accom- panied by a bit of horseplay. Gil Brown's six- piece orchestra provided the music. Ending the year, the soon to be seniors held their annual dinner at the Paso Robles Inn soon after Poly Royal. SOPHOMORES ALTHOUGH not one of the largest sopho- more classes in Poly’s history, the class of '48, under the leadership of Archie” Arhendes as president contributed a great deal to the spirit and activities here this year. As usual, the freshman-sophomore class rivalry was carried out, but not in the manner of old. Being outnumbered about seven to one by the frosh, the sophomores found them hard to tackle this year, but they did succeed to some extent. More than once, Frosh Prexy 'Boston” Robbins was taken for a ride to some distant port of call. Of course, a few times Boston” did manage to outsmart the boys by arriving back in town before they did. Then there was the night a little band of sophs got together and persuaded some freshmen to take a little jaunt to the P”. Even though under- manned the sophomore class did try to keep up the old traditional rivalry. Under the supervision of President Arhendes, the sophomores put on a dance early in the year, which turned out very successful. The picnic at Serrano in April was enjoyed by all. The class also helped out generously with various student body functions other than their own. Vice president and secretary-treasurer, of the class were Eugene Whitney and Jim Morris. Both these fellows have devoted a lot of their time to class activities and deserve a lot of credit.

FRESHMAN Robbins and company advertise Baseball Frosh work crew painting the P.” Eventually Prance” sponsored by the freshman class. the P” became an “F,” but we won’t talk about that. What happened to the Sopho- mores ? CLASS THE class of ’49 started off the school year by cleaning and painting the big “P” be- fore the sophomores had time to organize a traditionally hazed expedition. Unpredictable is the word to describe the class throughout its activities. Under the leadership of “Prexy” Hamlyn ’‘Boston Robbins, the frosh have spon- sored several dances, rallies, and parties which have always been noted for originality. The rally before the football game with Minter Field is a case in point. The climax of the spot- lighted “P , outlined in flares, will be long re- membered. The Baseball-Prance in March fea- turing the sleepiest band in the land had certain sophomores puzzled for weeks. All through the year it has been the class policy to keep its opponents off balance. Lack- ing the usual “brawl” to settle things, an inter- mitten battle of wit and muscle existed. The class took a proprietory interest in the big ”P” and altered it from time to time for the sake of class advertisement. Freshman scholastic, athletic, and social participation has been an important part of this year’s school life. The class of '49 will remember President McPhee’s class reception and his kindness in getting the members started in school activi- ties. Although vice-president Bud Chamberlain and secretary Don Gardner had to drop out, the class has kept rolling. Dick Livingston was appointed secretary and has done a mer- itorious job. The class wishes to thank Mr. Norman Sharpe, advisor, for the time and efTort spent on behalf of the class. ACTIVITIES GOVERNMENT AD SANTEL Student Body President ARCHIE AHRENDES Vice {'resident EUGENE WHITNEY Secretary DICK ROMANS Student Manager SA. C., governing agency of the associated 0 students, is composed entirely of repre- sentatives from each department of the school. From this group all student activities take form and are put into effect. Faced with an in- creasing number of student problems as enroll- ment increased, responsibility for the settle- ment of these rested upon Ad Santel, student body president. Early in January, Archie Arhrendes was appointed vice president and John Van Dyke appointed treasurer, to fill the vacancies caused by the closing of NARU. In the course of the year three students held the student manager's office. Of the problems encountered and successfully met was the decision to publish EL RODEO at a time when student interest along these lines was at a new low. Largest undertaking was Roly Royal. Cal Poly’s open door to California. S.A.C. insisted on administrative action for immediate improvement of campus conditions and formed many joint student-administration committees to mutually work out any difficul- ties. Student body dances supported financially by SAC funds, were held under auspices of various clubs. SAC. organ of democratic stu- dent government, closed a successful year of student activities.

PUBLICATIONS ROBERT E. KENNEDY Publications I3UBLICATIONS committee, big wheel of stu- dent publications, is composed of editors and business managers of all student publications whose responsibility is to guide activities of various publications. Early in the school year SAC and the Senior class requested from Robert E. Kennedy, adviser, the publication of a 1945-46 EL RODEO, which necessitated a snappy meeting between Kennedy, Chuck Chap- man, editor of the MUSTANG ROUNDUP, and Lee Garoian, EL MUSTANG editor. Results of this first publications committee meeting was the election of Garoian as chairman. A meet- ing held near the end of the year was called tor the purpose of adjourning, thus completing the business for the year. ROBERT E.

EL RODEO jy THE job of editing the first EL RODEO in four years was one of details, nervous ten- sion, headaches, late hours, a few laughs, but satisfaction on a job well-done. It was not un- til the winter quarter that the S.A.C. authorized the publication. It was a race against time for Editor Glenn Arthur and Assistant Editor John Shea to find a printer, binder and engraver. Money, a very important item was handled by Business Manager Ben Gupton and his chief aide “Boston’' Robbins. They sold advertising and more advertising. Deadlines, April 15 and May 8, what night- mares, were met, but only after hard work and long hours. Picture taking was handled by Chuck Chapman and Jack Spaulding. Chapman worked in the darkroom until the late hours for weeks to meet the deadlines. Copy was an item hard to put together. With the help of an English class the largest portion was selected. John Patterson and Ted Wales handled the editing and extra copy. Jiro Kai and Jack Morrell watched the Poly athletes go through their paces. Their completed work is found in the sport section. It was Robert E. Kennedy, publications adviser, who furnished the moral suport for Arthur and Shea.

GONE but not forgotten by those who ever saw a copy, is the MUSTANG ROUNDUP, monthly pictorial magazine of the campus. Started in the fall of 1942, this publication took the place left vacant by EL MUSTANG when weekly publication became too great a problem. Even then all was not serene. Deadlines were missed, printers were overloaded, or the paper supply was exhausted. Thus, publication was always interesting. MUSTANG ROUNDUP was one of the most unique campus publications ever put out. It was a combination pictorial- news magazine that filled its place very well. Every issue was full of interesting items and stories. Sometimes the editors got a little too interested in their stories and there would be trouble, which is a mild word for some of the instances. This year’s MUSTANG ROUNDUP was under the direction of Editor Chuck Chap- man and Business Manager Merval Mayer.

Without a trained staff, but with a small group eager to learn, El Mustang started the long sequence of events marking the end of Navy (mining on the campus and the return of stu- dent activities to a civilian status. Through the enthusiastic efforts of Merval Mayer, busi- ness manager, the stafT was able to double the size of the paper from ten inches to tabloid size. Unsupported by SAC, El Mustang was forced to run a large number of ads to help defray high costs of printing at a local print shop. Opening of the Cal Poly print shop towards the end of the spring quarter helped financially. Throughout the year. El Mustang editorials took into consideration student view- points; advocated drastic, yet necessary admin- istrative action on conditions pertaining to stu- dents; and began a drive to change the name from school” to college, placing of direction sings through town, and various other general campus improvements.

The ma- jority of the personnel in the department were navy men until this spring. As the sailors didn’t stay here very long the make up of the organizations was continually changing. Nevertheless all the outfits were able to keep going and fill all of their engagements. As civilian enrollment increased the number of sailors has gradually decreased. By the spring all of the organizations had returned to the hands of civilians. The glee club presented a complete program at the high school in October, keeping alive the old tradition of exchange assemblies. In December, the glee club and orchestra gave a program for our own men at the traditional Christmas assembly. In past years, the music department has always given a program for the State Veterinary convention held here. This year was no exception. In January, the gle club, orchestra, and Charioteers,” pre- sented an excellent program for the veter- FIRST ROM' (left to right): Boyd Chee, Harry Sella, Wayne Smith, ll'ally Clark, Gil Broun, Orrin Gobby: SECOND ROIC: II.

In April, the glee club sang at the program at the high school as Poly’s con- tribution to Public Schools Week. As always, the music organizations participated in Poly Royal. The glee club sang for the song-fest, and gave, together with the ''Charioteers, a half-hour broadcast publicizing Poly Royal. The band met the queen at the station, played for the opening assembly, the song-feat, the dedication memorial ceremony, and gave the traditional band concert during the barbecue, under student directors Ed Boettcher and Chet McCorkle. Even the Hungry Five” was allowed to participate at various times during Poly Royal. On May 17th, the glee club and the Collegians” gave a fine concert for the State Vocational Education Staff. Then in June, the glee club and band, under student directors, contributed to the graduation ex- ercises. The officers of the band are: Bob Roney, president; Everett Miller, manager: George Dewey, secretary; Ed Boettcher and Leroy Lady, librarians; Ed Boettcher and Chet Mc- Corkle. student directors. Glee club officers have been: James Wil- liams, president (Harry Wineroth was presi- dent during the fall quarter); Neil McCarty, vice president; Leon McAdams, secretary; Archie Ahrendes and Steve Lamkin, librar- ians. Gil Brown resumed his old position as accompanist. Student directors were: Wayne Misemer, John Van Dyke, Don Brunton, Ev- erett Miller, and Steve Lamkin. Archie Ah- rendes was student leader of the well-known Charioteers.” Members of the Hungry Five, the outlaw’ organization that managed to make itself heard throughout the year in spite of the aesthetic tastes of their listeners, included: Bob Roney, sliphorn; Everett Miller, busted bugle; Bob McCormick and Don Lansing, various lengths of gas-pipe; and Dan Jones, oomph-horn. Don Dutton did his best with a clarinet until the navy made him quit; George Dewey carried the bass-horn until he entered into the holy bonds” of matrimony. The mu3ic department has had a good year in spite of the many difficulties of recon- version. The members of every organization have worked hard and cooperated to the fullest degree. These members deserve a great deai of credit for maintaining the proud reputation of Poly's music department.

Dedicated to former stu- dents who gave their lives to their country in World War II. the efforts of former buddies and returned veteran students brought this year's Poly Royal again into the spotlight of one of the biggest college attractions in the country. With General Superintendent Les Vanoncini, returned student and ex-paratrooper officer, spearheading the preparations and planning of the Poly Royal, and the spirited partaking in the event by the executive committee and the entire student body, this year’s country fair” was acclaimed by the fair guests as one of the best ever before presented. A country fair on a college campus was originated back in 1933, and through the able supervision of Advisor Carl Beck and Les Vanoncini. the 1946 Poly Royal carried with it the success of the many shows held in the past. The crowning of Queen Patricia Ann Mun- chhof, San Jose State College coed of Glen- dale, in a beautiful ceremony at the Corona- tion Ball, climaxed the colorful two-day event. Beautiful Queen Patricia and her escort Dwight Wait were attended by four lovely ladies-in-waiting, Princesses Helen Burnett, POLY ROYAL OFFICERS (Left to right): Dwight IP ait, Id Harders, John Shea, Leslie Vanoncini, Louis Barr, Gus Reck, Herb Brownlee, Roland Sears.

M. C. Martinsen, alumni association president 1945, and Harry Wineroth handled all arrange- ments and gave a fine program and radio broadcast at the alumni banquet at Cafeteria No. 2. The rodeo attracted thousands of visitors and a great professional-like show was pre- sented that gave thrills to all in attendance. Bill Moore, his mule and clowning antics, kept the stands in an uproar during the entire show. The showmanship and livestock dis- played in the judging contests of all classes of livestock, and the educational exhibits and displays by the industrial department, gave to the public an insight on the important training carried on at California Polytechnic College.

FOOTBALL returned to Cal Poly this year under the guidance of Coach Ronnie Hen- derson who directed tlie team in the absence of Howie O’Daniels. The season was a dismal one as far as the won and lost column reads. However, many fine individual performances were turned in and, above all, the players learned the fundamentals of good sportsman- ship and fair play. Most of the team was com- posed of naval trainees, and a few teen age civilians filled in the vacant positions. Hender- son was unable to mold a winning team as the personnel changed twice before the season started. Poly’s season opened with the Bulldogs from Fresno State College on the local gridiron.

Morris Baudouin played outstanding defensive ball for Poly. A week later the Mustangs gained their only triumpi of the season when they defeated Cal Tech. 7-6 on the home field. Turner’s pass to Rapp re suited in the touchdown, and Bewley’s accurate conversion was the margin of victory. The Army Engineers from Camp Cooke ran roughshod over Poly by a score of 40-0. In juries and further changes in Naval personnel greatly weakened the Mustang eleven. Roveda and Turner played creditable ball and were outstanding for Poly. One bright spot, after this defeat was the return of Howie O’Daniels who had spent three years In the Navy. At this time. O’Daniels and Henderson collaborated in directing football activities. In the return game with Fresno State, the I Bulldogs took to the air to hand Poly a 210 I loss. The Mustang line played good ball ind made many fine stops to prevent further scor- ing. The Marines from Santa Barbara proved lo be too powerful for Poly winning 42-0. Re- gardless of the score the Green and Gold men Coaches Henderson and O'Daniels FIRST ROW (left to right): l.l.

November 4th. Poly made its last home appearance opposing the Minter Field Flyers. The Mustangs bucked and reared” but were out-manned and lost 19-0. Hutto and Saver played good defensive ball and Ohm and Pace were the outstanding backs. The University of Arizona outscored Cal Poly 37-6 in the final game of the season at Tucson. Although it was the Green and Gold’s fifth straight loss, the team played one of the best games of the sea- son. Some interesting statistics substantiate the fact that the Mustangs were improving. Poly made eleven first downs to Arizona’s twelve, and yardage gained from scrimmage and passes was almost equal. Outstanding players were Droege at end and Gibbons at halfback. Now that the peace-time athletic activities have returned to the campus, the pigskin fol- lowers can once again look forward to great teams produced by Howie O’Daniels. Old timers well remember and welcome back Chuck Pav- elko. Chuck, who assists Howie in the backfield, is expected to return this fall. But in the mean- time, O’Danieis has held spring practice at which time many promising candidates re- ported. Football followers will also see the ’T” formation a la O’Daniels.” A few men who showed an inclination to play good ball should be mentioned here as they will form the nucleus of the first all-Poly eleven since 1942. Outstanding at the end positions during this spring session were Bolton, Gilbert, and Mar- ga roll. Hovely and Dychman also showed prom- ise on the wings. Thus far at tackle, Cy Hovig and Dave Cool are standouts. Copeland, Bueller and Campbell are also trying hard to catch the watchful eye of Howie. At guard. Bob Powell and Jack James appear to be the best men; however, O’Daniels has stated that there will be many additions and changes by the time the season starts. Fitzgerald of Michigan seems to have the experience at center, but there :i� e others fighting for a place at the pivot spot. Bud Lemon, a varsity guard in '42, has been shifted to quarterback, and he has all of the qualifica- tions of a good key man in the T” formation. One of the best backs in Poly’s history has CAL POLY VS. FRESNO STATE . . . Cameras don’t lie . . . they had the ball ALL the time. returned to till the fullback spot. He is triple threater. Bud MacDougall. Mac lias played a lot of ball and everyone is expecting great things from him next year. Juarez, Ehret, and Marret are battling for starting assignments at the halfback positions. There are a number of other men trying to push these three out of the spotlight and with a little more polish will see action. When the pigskin parade com- mences this fall, the toughest schedule in his- tory will face O'Daniels. The hardest game will probably be with the San Diego Naval Train- ing Center. This is the team that defeated last year's Coast Champions anil Rose Bowl team. the University of Southern California. Also listed are San Diego, Whittier, and Santa Bar- bara College. Other opponents will be Occi- dental, San Francisco State, Chico State, Hum- boldt State, and Pepperdine College. These games will act as a preview as to the type of competition the Green and Gold will face in the future. When Cal Poly officially enters the California Collegiate Athletic Association in De- cember, Fresno State, College of Pacific and San Jose State will be added opponents. Yes—then the competition really gets tough! But we know Howie will field teams that will fight hard win or lose.

BASKETBALL THIS year's California Polytechnic basket- ball team was built around three veteran hopsters of years pone by. After the departure of the Naval trainees, it looked as though no Mustang quintet would represent the Green and Gold. But with the return of old timers” Glenn Arthur, Eddie Maxon, and Harry Wine- roth, the outlook became very bright. These three men teamed with new comers, Bill Sweatt and Willard Moore, to form a very formidable starting quintet. Because Poly's basketball season was late in starting, no games could be scheduled with members of the California Collegiate Athletic Association. However, all indications were that, if any such games had been arranged, our men would have performed creditably. Coach Howie O'Daniels did a lot to arouse enthusiasm for basketball by being instru- mental in the formation of the city league. In this league, five teams were entered. During the first half of play. Poly, led by Arthur, Moore, and Sweatt, swept aside all opposition and were undefeated. But in the third game of the second half, an over confident Mustang five was upset by a hard fighting Legion team by the tune of thirty to twenty-six. This neces- sitated a play off with the up and coming Oc- tane quintet for the leadership of the second half. The Green and Gold five went down to defeat for its second loss. The red hot Octanes edged the Mustangs by a count of forty-five to forty-one. The Poly men mised many set up shots and thereby blew the chance of sewing up the City League Championship. This made it necessary for a play-off of three games to determine the top team in the city. The following night a revitalized and an aroused Mustang quintet took to the floor to humiliate the confident Octanes by a score of seventy-three to thirty-five. It was sub forward Herb Mack who led Poly by ringing the bucket for nineteen digits. Glenn Arthur with four- teen points and Willard Moore with thirteen tallies were the next high scorers. Harry Wine- roth, Ed Maxon, and Bud McDougall played good defensive ball to aid in Poly’s smashing triumph. In the second game, the Mustangs sewed up the championship by running up fifty-seven points and holding the opponents to thirty-three. Bill Sweatt was high scorer for I he evening by hitting the hoop for sixteen markers. Moore and Wineroth followed with eleven points each. Another highlight of the basketball season was wnen roiyiecnmc piayea nost to the vet- eran House of David team. This game was played before an overflow crowd of nearly 1500 rabid fans. Even though Poly lost, sixty-one to forty-five, the men made a very fine showing as they trailed the Davids by a mere seven points through most of the game. Willard Moore and Bill Sweatt with fifteen and twelve points, respectively, led the Mustangs. They were followed by Arthur and Wineroth with eight digits each. Eddie Maxon’s long field goal in the closing seconds of play completed i the scoring for Poly. The leading scorer for the entire season was Moore as he rang up 144 points. He was closely followed by Sweatt with his 140 markers. Glenn Arthur was third high with 109 digits. Other high scorers were Wineroth with 73, Herb Mack with 39. and Maxon with 35. Other men worthy of mention are Valdez Bates and Bill Roth. Both of these fellows practiced diligently and when inserted into the game made a good showing.

A GOOD turnout greeted Major J. C. Deuel in the first practice session, including let- termen Glenn Arthur, Bob Valenzuela and Wil- bur Mayhew. This initial turnout was in- creased greatly at the beginning of the spring quarter. After about two weeks of intensive practice the team began to take shape. A pitching staff composed of Gustafson, Meccia and Foster, and an infield of Coyle, Valenzuela. Johnson and Smith made prospects very good for the team. But then things began to happen. After being rained out of the first game with Santa Bar- bara College, Valenzuela checked out of school and pitcher Leo Gustafson came up with a sore arm. The following week Jupe Pluvius was again opposed to the Mustangs playing ball, this time with San Jose State. More bad luck was in the offing when Meccia left school. Finally the Mustangs opened the season play- ing Santa Barbara on the Gaucho’s home field. Poly started the game off in good shape by scoring a run in the first inning on Mayhew’s double and Hoffman’s single. In the fifth. Mayhew led off with a walk Arthur got life on an error and Hoffman knocked both in with a sharp single to right center. Winkle then singled Hoffman across with the fourth run of the game. Santa Barbara got going in the eighth when they found the range on Gustafson and scored six runs on six hits, one a triple by Steinberg the Santa Barbara shortstop. The Mustangs were unable to score in the ninth, Santa Bar- bara winning six to four. For Cal Poly, Hoffman and Winkle led the attack. Hoffman got two singles in four trips and batted in two runs. Winkle counted a double and a single in three trips and knocked in one run. The infield played a very good game, for the first time out, and committed no errors. Mac Smith, playing shortstop, handled six chances without fault. Bob Johnson at third, Willie Mayhew on tlie keystone sack, and Jack Coyle at first, all played a steady game. In the outfield, flychasers Arthur and Hoff- man got everything that came their way. On the mound, Gustafson held the Gauchos at bay with his “nothing ball” until the eighth when a relief pitcher might have saved the game, had there been one. Harry Winkle held down his job behind the platter in fine fashion. Due to the shortage of pitchers Arthur was called in from his left field position to take a turn on the mound. His first test was in a return game against Santa Barbara on the home field. In opposition, the seasiders sent Metcalf, also a port slder to the hill. Poly started the scoring in the second inning when Johnson drew a free trip to first and went to second on a wild pitch. After Smith struck out, Coyle hit a long triple to right-center field scoring Johnson. Roth then singled Coyle across with the second run of the inning. The Mustangs threatened in the third when Mayhew singled, and both Fowler and Winkle got free trips to fill the bags. But Metcalf forced Johnson to strike out and Smith to ground out. Santa Barbara tied the scoie in the seventh on three hits and a wild pitch. A possible third run was cut off at the plate by a relay from Hoffman to Mayhew to Winkle. We came right back in our half of the seventh to take the lead again. Arthur hit a single to left, and went to second when the left fielder bobbled the ball. After Mayhew walked and Fowler popped out to the second baseman, Hoffman hit a single to left scoring Arthur. In the eighth, Poly cinched the game when we put on a three run rally. Smith and Coyle got successive hits and Roth walked to fill the bags. Arthur was hit by a pitched ball forcing a run in. With the bases still loaded Mayhew sent a sharp single through short, scoring Coyle and Roth. Although the Santa Barhara third sacker tripled in the ninth, the Gauchos were unable LEFT: Stand up, lots of time, Winkle. RIGHT: Where are you throwing from. Arthur?

The hitting was improved and errorless ball was played in the field. Arthur, in his lirst appearance on the mound limited Santa Barbara to six scattered hits and was in trobule only once during the game. In the next game the Mustangs came up against the powerful San Diego State team. Leo Gustafson took the mound in an attempt to cool the big bats of the Staters. But this wasn’t Poly’s day. The team fell apart at the seams commiting errors right and left. San Diego made two runs in the first and two in the second inning, when they knocked Gustafson out of the box. Foster came in to do a good job of relief work. Mayhew and Arthur led the hitting, each getting three for five and Arthur knocking out a home run. The final score was seventeen to ten, San Diego on top. On the next day the Mustangs journeyed to Fresno to play Fresno State. We got off to a three run lead in the first inning on a couple of walks and three singles. Two more runs were added to the cause in the third on a double and two singles. Fresno came back in their half of the third to tie the score when they blasted five runs across. In the fourth. Fowler tripled and came home on Johnson’s fly to right. Fresno really cinched the game in their half of the fourth when they scored five runs on a walk, five hits and an error. One run was added to each team’s score, Poly getting theirs in the ninth while the Bull- dogs annexed theirs in the eighth. The final score being twelve to seven with Fresno on top. Members of this year’s team include Harry Winkle and Don Thorndyke, catchers; Ed Fos- ter, Glenn Arthur and Leo Gustafson, pitchers; Jack Coyle, first base; Wilbur Mayhew, second base; Bob Johnson, third base; Mac Smith, shortstop; and Kay Fowler, Charlie Hoffman.

SWIMMING Poly’s Wogs wait for the starting gun on the Ag-Industrial swimming meet. r E swimming department took a new lease on life this spring with the return of many veteran swimmers. Two men who were instrumental in organizing the two major swim meets of the year were August Mottmans and Gunnar Sondeno. With hopes of having a hard-to-beat team in the Cali- fornia Collegiate Athletic Associatn next fall, these men helped foster the spirited practice sessions held daily in the Poly natatorium the past few' months. Mottmans w-alked off with high honors in the Ag-Industrial meet by winning the 50- yard back stroke, 75-yard medley, 25-yard free style, and the 50-yard breast stroke events events. Vern Luce show-ed better than mid-season form in taking the diving events. Luce and Blick Wells kept right in behind Mottmans in all events and ended up in 2nd and 3rd places respectively. The Poly sw'imming pool is one of the finest indoor pools in the state and has such an efficient water purification system, that the water needs to be changed only every three or four years. RODEO TEAM OFF TO TUCSON: Bob Dontr and Jim Stout, two of the four- man rodeo team, prepare to leave for the inter-collegiate rodeo con- test at Tucson. r)OLY'S Kodeo team placed second this year in the annual inter collegiate rodeo held at the University of Arizona in Tucson. This was the only competitive collegiate stampede that theteam entered. Bob Doner, Jim Stout, Red” Mason, and Jim O'Neil made the trip to Tucson. Colorado Aggies nosed out Poly with a ten to nine score. The boys have entered, individ- ually, other shows throughout the year, with a good ileal of success. The team members were instrumental in presenting the wonderful Poly- Royal stampede. BELOW, LEFT: With that loop. Dick Otto could catch five doggies. BELOW RIGHT: Where's ycur hat. Doner.

BLOCK “PM THE Block P club came to life during the Winter quarter with the return of 16 prewar lettermen. The club had been idle for nearly three years. Harry Wineroth took over the reins as president; Charles Cook and Ed Maxson acted in the capacity of vice president and secretary, respectively, and Ma- jor J. C. Deuel returned as sponsor' of the club. During Poly Royal the Block P” w-as in charge of homecoming and of the alumni din- ner. The reception room in the Administra- tion building was decked out with hundreds of pictures, some dating back to 1905. The alumni could see pictures of themselves and their friends in their college days. A mobile dispensor of cold drinks, candy, ice cream and other refreshments was under the tute- lage of Herb Brownlee, Harry Wineroth, and A1 James with all the rest of the members helping out during their spare time. During the F.F.A. convention held here at Poly on May 10-11 the club held open house in the gym and swimming pool for the Future Farmers. There were nearly 300 visitors in and out of the swimming pool during the course of the evening. The mobile dispensor was also in front of the gym where orangeade and peanuts could be purchased. The annual spring trip and initiation of new members was held on May 29-30 in the Arroyo Grande county park. The neophytes were given a three-day conditioning process on the campus befcre being taken up in the hills for the final initiation procedure and formal acceptance into the club. A barbecue was held on May 30 with the faculty members in charge of the chow. The Block “P” boasts more faculty members than any other club on the campus. In the last meeting of the school year new officers were elected. Leo Rogers w'ill fill the office of president; Jiro Kai was railroaded in as vice president and Bill Meily was elected secretary-treasurer.

CHASE Hall is the home of midnight oil- burning. midnight snacks, and general rev- elry. There is always something going on. If it isn’t someone sending code to the boys in the dorm across the street with a two-hundred watt light that lights up the whole campus, it is the smell of Nescafe with crackers and cheese, and all the boys ganging around to get some. Many are the late sessions of shooting the breeze in hushed voices, that gradually rise to a thundering crescendo. There are always cries of, Who stole my shirt?’’, 'T want some too!’’, Hurry up! , and Here comes the bus! Most of the men living In Chase Hall are veterans, and many have halr-ralslng experi- ences to relate. The chief of Chase Hall is Major Deuel, a veteran of both wars. He is the man you go to first when you get hurt, or are not feeling well. He usually brings you some stuff that would take a crowbar to get down. He also stays until you have taken every drop too! Chase Hall was named after Margaret Chase. Most of the old students of Poly remember her from their English classes. The officers of Chase are President, George Dewey; Vice President, Roland Sears; Secre- tary, Charles Knokey. Charlie Cook is assistant dorm Superintendent. There Is always a flow of new students com- ing In. and of old students leaving or succumb- ing to the Idea of setting up housekeeping for themselves, which up to this time, there has been four. CHASE HALL HERON HALL HERON Hall built in 1928 has withstood much punishment over the years. Living in Heron are many of the prominent members of the Mustang student body: Harry Wineroth, dorm super, basketballer, and general B.T.O.; Tom Leonard, senior class prexy; Doc Wait, treasurer of Roly Royal and chairman of the queen committee; Kenny Holmes, of nylon fame and president of the Crops club; Bos- ton Robbins, energetic Frosh class president; Willard Moore, tricky forward of the champion- ship basketball quintet. An everyday occur- rence is Barry, Harry’s infant son, waking the first floor boys and even some on the second. Heron Hall is never dull, the telephone ringing and nobody answering it ... the second floor boys fighting and rasseling (they even throw a little water now and then) . . . Boston” looking sly as he organizes the Frosh tor a raid on an unexpectant sophomore or even senior. The important members of the 86” club or more commonly known as Joe’s Boys make their home in Big H” dorm; they come and go at all hours in good shape and bad. Heron Hall is governed by the residents captained by Dick Charlton of Air Corps fame. Elwood Randolph is the executive officer and the administrative work is carried on by Bob Rlmpau.

SITUATED on the south edge of the campus is the first dormitory built on Cal Poly campus. Named for Major Joseph C. Deuel, the first superintendent of dormitories. Deuel Dorm, as it is called, was reopened on March 11th, 1946, to thirty new civilians, all sponsored by the government and superin- tended by F. F. Whiting. The service box score for these thirty ex- O. I.’s is as follows: Army 14, Navy 13. Marines 3, Wac's 0, Waves 0, Coast Guard 0, Spars 0. Academic studies are divided into 18 agricul- ture and 12 industrial students. The facilities of the Dorm are many and varied. The rooms have two chairs, a chest of drawers, a double decked bunk, table, and a clothes closet. The fire escapes from the second floor are used chiefly for drying mops, thereby irrigating the adjacent trees and shrubbery. Acoustics are marvelous, the three Marines can be heard without the use of a public address system, featuring a G. L bull session any hour by the hour. The telephone is slot machine operated with A. G. Bell a consistent winner. A piano, converted from a player type, is the classical note in the lounge. The only person who could play it moved to another dorm, pos- sibly because he played classical music and the piano always managed to make more mistakes than he did. Encore Chop Sticks! The lounge has easy chairs and a large table used only by visiting firemen. Noise by trumpet, radio, and typewriter is enjoyed by all. DEUEL DORM JESPERSEN DORM ACCORDING to chief housing administrator, Major Deuel, Jespersen dorm is rapidly be- coming the most heard from dormitory at Cal Poly. Through the competent efforts of dorm superintendent Mr. Jim McGrath and his able assistant Jim Bazzetta, we find cowboys, aero enthusiasts, electricians, Einsteins, and agricul- ture inspectors all living together happily under the same roof. Amazing when one stops to think that one out of seven couples in the United States cannot. Thumbing through the large, worn register that proudly sets in the main lobby we see that Jespersen dormitory is host to some fifty fel- lows who have chosen some field of agriculture or industry as their life work. Half of these men are Army, Navy, Marine, Coast Guard, and Air Corps veterans taking advantage of their well-earned rights offered by the G. I. Bill. Furthermore, unless something miraculous hap- pens in Congress, several of the younger fel- lows will soon be nervous in the service. Not only are the Armed Forces well repre- sented, but also enjoying Jespersen dorm are Bob Wong and Boyd Chee from Hawaii and Max Lescot who hails from the island of Haiti. Extra-curricular activities are not overlooked by these ambitious students. The editor of El Mustang is our own Leon Garoian. Chickery- chick” Elliot is outstanding in the Poultry de- partment. Representing the Ag Inspectors on the SAC staff is Jim Bazzetta. Not to be over- looked is Jack Mouse” Warren, the mighty midget from Fillmore, who is known far and wide as the champion hazer of freshmen.

These students represent eight different major fields. The Lower Units is under the watchful eye of our student body president. Ad Santel. Our student body secretary, Eugene Whitney, also lives in the lower units. The official sign painter for the college is Willard Hagen and his presence in the dorm makes it a bee hive of activity. There is never a dull moment at the Lower Units with Hodini and Chapman playing their accordians and Ambrosini trying to sleep at the same time. The real fun starts when yarns are spun. Mondays and Saturdays at the Lower Units are as different as day and night. Monday morning every one is half asleep. Saturday night everybody hustles. Echoes can be heard down the hall that go something like this: Who used all the hot water. Who stole my towel. Got an extra pair of socks. Loan me five.” You kidding?” On and on they go. Every night all noise stops at about nine o’clock, and Polites return once again to their books. LOWER EXITS UPPER UNITS LOOKING up from the administration build- ing towards the Poly ■‘P,’’ one can see the Upper Units directly across the street from the student-operated dairy. This group of three modern bungalow-type buildings commands one of the most beautiful views of the campus and surrounding country. Students in the dairy and horticulture departments are well repre- sented here as are all the other major depart- ments. The Dormitory Superintendent is Archie Ahrendes. a former student returned after duty as a pilot in the Air Corps. Assisting Ahrendes is Roy Swanson, another horticulture major, who works in the capacity of janitor. Highlighting the activities of the Upper Units is the studying that goes on at all hours of the day. Sixteen men, former veterans, lead the way in putting forth the best efforts for that •'A” grade at the end of the quarter. Not to be denied are the men who can feel the breath of the recruiting Sergeant on the backs of their necks; they lead the way in student activity and do a good job in the classroom. To be a good student is only part of the activities carried on in the Upper Units. Some of the items of interest during the school year were . . . Shorty Morris going to his gal’s house to study??????? . . . Sophomore Hilbig taken for a ride to Pismo by the Freshman class. . . . Bill Young walking through a closed door. . . . Sack-time” Bertolini playing nurse- maid to George’s Guernseys. . . . Bob White buying part interest in the Motel. . . . “Can’t keep away from it Somers headed for Long Beach every Friday. . . .

LOCATED at the northern end of the campus, in what was formerly the naval housing unit section, is Buffalo Hall.' This dormitory, along with five other similar ones, was built in the summer of 1941 to accommodate the in- creased enrollment which came with the ad- dition of the degree curriculum in 1940. From the Fall of 1941 until January, 1943, the units housed civilian students. Signal Corps trainees, and even women receiving training for civil service jobs at air depots. During the period between January, 1943, and October, 1944, over 3,500 naval cadets lived in these and other dorms. When the naval flight preparatory school program was discontinued, this college was chosen to continue naval aviation training as a Naval Academic Refresher Unit. The dor- mitories remained in operation until February of this year, at which time the Navy abandoned its training schedule at Cal Poly. These build- ings scarcely had time to be vacated by the United States government when the spring en- rollment opened and they were immediately filled to capacity again, this time by civilian students. By far, the vast majority of the new occupants are ex-servicemen, who are attending school under the provisions of the G. I. Bill of Rights. Buffalo Hall is a one-story structure consisting of twenty-one small, but comfortable two-men rooms. Recently, some welcome serv- ices have been added to the hall, such as the installation of a telephone and the establish- ment of a weekly pick-up and delivery laundry. The superintendent in charge of Buffalo Hall, who is responsible for its maintenance and order, is Jack Phillips, a Meat Animal Hus- bandry major. BUFFALO HALL CATALINA HALL THIS year, for the first time in four years, Catalina Hail again resounds to civilian voices. Built in 1941 and then called Fox Hall, it was used for a year by Poly students. Then came the late, unlamented war, and the Navy moved in. Occupied at first by cadets, later by men in an Academic Refresher unit, it was used by them until February of this year. Now housing civilians again, the only remaining vestige of the Navy is the new name, Catalina Hall. It is a pretty quiet place on weekdays, but comes Friday and the tension breaks. Old light bulbs too, as some of the boys know. Hey, anyone going to L. A. tonight?’ , is the question of the hour on Fridays, since a large propor- tion of the hall is from the Southland. Walt Mayer is going to have to pay rent on the phone booth too, for he practically lives there now’. Laughing Boy Mills sweats out some Electrical problems, while across the hall Sheep” Miles, the Sheep Dip Specialist, ignores the efforts of the Voice, alias Steve Treskon. Dick Mann and Lee Lake now have the plush- iest room In the hall, complete with rugs, drapes, a floor lamp and a easy chair. The room really seems home like. Outside, some of the gang scatter as the maroon hot rod comes in. with Dart at the controls. Allen busily applying first aid to his car, plus a few short words, while George Porter counts up the A.

THERE hasn't been any whistle blowing. showdown inspections, or formations to be met since the Navy moved out. Coronado I)orm is now entirely given over to civilians. How- ever, if a visitor were interested he could find the man who won the war by stepping into any room in the dorm. Rut he might lose a leg, or the use of his ears, and eight or ten hours of his time doing it. The so-called civilians who now occupy the dorm are rather long-winded on the war. Yes, the Navy has left, but the Army, Marines. Coast Guard, Merchant Marine, and another part of the Navy has moved in. The esprit de corps is still within the individ- uals and the sessions are long and hot. A bell- boy” for the swab jockeys” tells a dogface” that the army didn’t know how to fight. The dogface climbs a pilot who tells the dogface that he has had more time on top of a loop than he has had in the army. An ex-sailor tones the conversation down by wishing that he was on the beach at Pearl” with a bottle of Primo and a dark wahine. So it goes, Coronado has them all: infantry- men studying aeronautics, pilots studying meat animals, sailors hard at work on air condition- ing, a marine taking up ornamental horticul- ture. Don Bower is superintendent, master at arms, and first sergeant. He is the official keeper of the peace and passer out of laundry slips. Despite the difficulties of getting readjusted to school, the friendly conflict between the services, and the pernicious malady spring fever, the entire dom seems to be going after an education with the same consciousness and conscientiousness with which they fought the war. CORONADO HALL DAUNTLESS HALL DAUNTLESS HALL, one of the chicken coops, has only recently been vacated by the Navy, and as yet has had little opportunity to make a name for itself either academically or athletically. However, the inhabitants, al- most exclusively ex-service men, show much promise toward making Dauntless Hall one of the better known of the coops. Most of the fellows, after being out of school for several years and being in college for the first time, find that the majority of their time is taken up getting used to books again. The wide variety of majors, which include practic- ally every subject offered, make sessions on any particular subject almost impossible, but as one walks down the hall he is almost sure to hear at least one tale of the service. The usually quiet hall is not always so as the dances and a night in town claim many of the students and their return is not always as quiet as their departure. This is usually a ticklish situation for Alan Renwick, the dorm superintendent, as he is one of the minute minority of upper classmen in the hall. Most of the first quarter freshmen, which constitute the vast majority, have high class spirit and will tolerate little or no abuse of their mem- bers by upper classmen. The most noticeable effect around the hall is the conscientiousness with which the fellows go about their work and studies.

AS THE spring quarter began at Cal Poly, books and doors began slamming, and chairs and tables started scraping again in Mariner Hall. Activity went rampant, as it had before the Navy left for other parts. During the fall and winter quarters, Mariner had slept like a hibernating bear, except for a few flies buzzing around. Mariner Hall is quite close to the chicken coops, and hence its nickname, which applies to the other housing units nearby as well. This twenty-one bedroom mansion normally houses forty-two students at two to a room. Studies ... we have them all here. Aero majors muttering under their breath of car- buretors, engines, and wings. The triumphant gleam in the eye of a Agriculture Inspection student as he comes in with some poor, de- fenseless bug in a bottle, or those flower prisses they have in their rooms. Of course there are those gentlemen one never has to question as to their major, they have something that dis- tinguishes them, shall we say aroma, the Meat Animal men. And never, no never, forget the raisers of breakfast food and Sunday dinners, the Poultry specialists. How can you, with the chickens cackling all night just across the road. Dick Williams is the present domitory man- ager, having also resided here during the win- ter quarter. At that time there were only eight students living in our cozy cottage, which, in- cidentally has no fireplace. Naturally each man had a room of his own, making study condi- tions quite favorable. This problably led to a more utopian way of life. MARINER HALL YOUNG FARMERS C'tAL POLY'S Chapter of Young Farmers of America is only one of several chap- ters spread over California; in fact, the United States. What the Future Farmers are to high schools, the Young Farmers are to young men out of high school. Industrial as well as agricultural students are eligible to become Young Farmer mem- bers. This last school year, the schedule con- sisted of monthly meetings and social events. Generally, the meeting occurring each month included a speaker talking on some general subject of interest. Members were privileged to hear such speakers as J. I. Thompson, Jim Merson, who spoke on guns, Mr. McLain speaking on photography, and Roger Drake, presently County Inspection department. x The social side started off with the initia- tion of new members in the fall. This was followed by a hayride in late fall. Early this year, the Young Farmers were privileged to sponsor a studentbody dance which resulted in one of the finest dances of the past year. Poly’s Young Farmers' greatest honor was to be made hosts of the State Future Farmer Convention in April. The Chapter’s social sea- son wound up with the annual Spring hayride and chicken barbecue at Serrano on May 24. Nearly thirty couples took part in this final social event of the 1946 season. Officers for the year ending June 5lh were Don Fiester, president; Mac Thompson, vice- president; Mel Eberhardt, secretary-treasurer, and Carl Beck, faculty adviser. David Cook acted as secretary-treasurer during the Fall quarter. The Chapter will accomplish much this next school year. All of this year’s officers will be back plus the new students coming in from high school Future Farmer Chapters.

HURRAH, HURRAH! The first of the movable housing units arrive at Cal Poly's veterans’ village. VETERANS CAL POLY was the first college on the West Coast to provide housing for its veterans and their families, with seventy- five houses and fifty house trailers. The first unit was occupied April 1, by Mr. and Mrs. Ben Gupton. All units are now occupied with approximately 275 people living in the units. This up-and-coming village has or will soon have all the modern conveniences. Meter washing machines will be installed, and each family will have a certain time to use the machines and ironing room. A large building furnished with modern furniture, including kitchen, sewing room, nursery, is open for parties, meetings, studies and is an ideal place for relaxing. Who says Poly wives aren't interior deco- Typical scene in Veterans' Village as young student wife puts out her washing and cares for junior.” rators. One house may have a touch of Mexi- co, in another Indian rugs and baskets. Many wives have made their own curtains and have matched their whole color scheme, presenting a very pleasing and interesting affect. Lawns, some with lawn furniture with white picket fences, are planned. Children will have a safe and convenient playground in the center of the village. These units were moved here from Port Hueneme at a cost of $43,195. The larger houses rent for $32 a month; the smaller ones for $28, and the trailers for $24, with utilities included. Exsoldiers and former Navy men, enrolled at Poly, hailed the project as convenient and economical. BILL HILL Contact Officer IN June. 1945, the Veterans’ Administration established a contact office on the cam- pus as a service to veterans of San Luis Obispo county. Contact officer is Bill Hill, former Cal Poly student and a veteran. Bill’s office in Room 20 of the Administration build- ing is a busy place with veterans seeking as- sistance for themselves and their dependents in securing benefits administered by the vet- erans administration. Carl R. Haun was re- cently appointed as an assistant contact of- ficer. Also in the same office is Leo Philbin, Poly degree graduate and an aero engines instructor here during Navy years. Leo is now training officer for the Vocational Re- habilitation and Education Division. VILLAGE Married students enjoy campus life in the 125-un it Veterans' Village. IX TOWN ?eed for Poly's livestock El Rodeo Editor Glenn Arthur, left, and Assistant Editor John Shea weigh out a load of feed for delivery to Cal Poly. Says R. W. Buck, center, manager of the San Luis Obispo branch, “We are happy to say that we furnish Cal Poly a large portion of its feed requirements.” This firm believes in providing prompt service with the best quality feeds, seeds, fertilizers, and insecticides. E. C. LOOMIS � SONS Going Someplace? Most Poly students are going some- place. And if it’s to town they want to go, the Green Bus (affectionately known as the “Green Hornet”) goes right through the campus every hour on the hour. Poly students have found that it is convenient and eco- nomical to ride the Green Bus. Green Bus riders Frank Smith, Jim Coleman, Ben McWhinney, and Louis Pashos like the friendly drivers and friendly service of the Green Bus. lide The Green Bus The Beautiful Chrysler This dream car for post-war living is admired by Mr. and Mrs. Albert Kurtz.

Here we see “Moe” Edmundson, Poly student and Sears “jack-of-all-trades” using the glib tongue on Dick Lavery, prospective saddle buyer. Lee Garoian, left, and Ken Evans, right, seem skeptical about Lavery’s ability to stay in a saddle. FLETCHER CLEANERS Charlie Hoffman, right, picks up his excel- lently cleaned and pressed suit preparatory to taking the “little lady” out for the eve- ling.

Take those boys at the counter—Tom Snead, Mel Eberhard, Dave Rose, Ed Boettcher, Bill Roth, Don Bower, Herb Brownlee, and Frank Whitmore—they know where to go for refreshing and appe- tizing fountain drinks and dishes. In the background, John Shea and Gil Brown seem to be trying to decide what kind of candy they want Lois Buckles to wrap up for them. 785 Higuera GENARDINI'S MEN'S WEAR John Jones, left, seems to be doubtful as to whether he approves of Burton Van’s “Fiesta” hirsute adornment.

Bo- nath not only did the very clever division pages but also gave us permission to reproduce his beautiful water-color of the Administration building. Credit is also due the Homer Boelt.er lithograph company in Hollywood for their faithful full-color reproduction of that paint- ing. Thanks should go to Warren Lewis and the Angelus Engraving company for doing an excellent rush job on engravings for the book. The Telegram-Tribune is to be thanked for coming to our rescue by setting type which the over-loaded Schauer Printing Studio couldn’t handle. Mr. D. H. Schauer and Roscoe Schauer, as well as the personnel of the Schauer Printing Studio, are to be thanked for the w'ork they did in printing the book. iiim.iI� ii« — ■ « « m —----------------------- --------------------------------------------- —- - - . k—-____
