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.
