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.

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.
