On September 4 nearly 1,000 men lined up before Crandall Gym to sign the books. Shortly after the completion of registration and schedul- ing, a class meeting was held in the gym and Bob Bowman was elected president, Bill Murphy, vice- president, Bob Scott, secretary-treasurer and Jim Munson, representative to the Student Affairs Coun- cil. Over eight hundred men were required to live in the army barracks at Camp San Luis Obispo until rooms became available in town and on the campus. Unlucky people without cars found life trying at times, but few men had to walk the four miles from campus to camp.

An cnergetic crew of yearlings struggled up and did thc job, but got a sharp jolt within a matter of hours when another group changed the P to an F. But it was the affair of the Home-coming bon- fire that handed them their most discouraging blow. They rallied enthusiastically for this activity and arranged telephone poles in a circle which they filled with old lumber. cardboard and paper. Somewhat to the chagrin of a Mguardw who was catch- ing forty winks nearby, vandals managed to touch a match to the collection several days in advance. Dismayed but not defeated. the Frosh made another collection and this one resulted in a successful Home-coming blaze. Another activity which the Frosh will manage this year is a graduation ball for seniors. Raymond H.

With a more rigid guard established, the mater- ials shown here provided the Home-coming with a spectacular blaze. Page .Yirzfffverz Sophomore WILLOUGHBY HOUK REG JESPERSEN HAROLD GARFIELD Page Twenty Y Class President Vice-President Sec.-Treasurer THE EXHILIRATION which accompanies reaching the status of a sophomore was expressed by the class in the decision that the P must be painted soon, and that the freshmen should do it. Apparently they didnit like the way the P was painted the first few times, for they soon changed it to read F and persistently renewed their attack after each repainting until just before the Home-coming rally. There was much talk and a great expectation that the Freshmen were quaking in their shoes least their bonfire be burned before the rally. It was burned all right, but there was no proof who did it, and certainly the sophomores wouldn't do such a thing. Soon, however, the class settled down to a routine of clubs and activities which occupied much of their time. Class HIC HARD-HITTING sophs undertook and Carried out three major projects this year. The rally for the Santa liarhara College game, the graduation dance and the organization of the freshman-sophomore hrawl in Cooperation with the freshman class w ere activities that the second year men undertook and carried out superbly. Tw o footlwall playing presidents guided their destinies. Vliilloughhy Houk, who was originally elected. left sehool during the winter quarter. and Reg Jespersen took over to hnish out his term.

Sophomores THE JUNIOR CLASS, although losing some members, was larger after registration than ever before. Prominence in important extra-curricular posts and athletics bore Witness to the fact that the juniors were on the job. From the junior class has been selected many members of the Poly Royal board, publication staffs, letter Winners in sports, and outstanding workers in student council activi- ties. T.

Many of them are assured of a place in the world by the prominence they have gained by pro- iects and activities in school. All are assured of a better position in outside society because they have completed another year of practical work which equips them for many positions.

Also there are many who were young enough lo avoid the curriculum offered by the services. 150 seniors will culminat ' ' e in June their many years of h , ' ard study. Much of the class activity has been curtailed by the presence of so many clubs and Organizations in which seniors have take A ' ' n a wry active part. Class Much planning was done at class meetings to decide what the senior present to the school should be. Among the many excellent suggestions were these: a cornerstone for the new library, a large lighted world-globe for the library, lights for the tower to aid in telling the time at night. Seniors have been active in trying to regain the prestige which seniors should receive. Many fav- ored the preference of seniors in ticket lines, at registration, and at other events. f RAY GARRETT Sec.-Treasurer ARCHIE AHRENDES Vice-President Page Twenty-.seven Page Twenty-eight Prexy Hillman presides over one of the monthly meetings of the senior class.

PAUL WINNER . . . is a friendly, cooperative and helpful man in spite of the fact that he -carries the staggering title of Assistant Dean in Charge of Admissions, Guid- ance and Placement. A graduate of Montana State College, he served as Acting Recorder and as Teacher Trainer of Agricultural Education before being made an assistant dean. VERNON H. MEACHAM . . . is officially called the Dean of Stu- dent Welfare, but hundreds of basket- ball fans will remember him as keeper of the clock during the breathtaking sessions in Crandall Gymnasium last winter.

Lighter minded students will rejoice in the fact that four of them have already attained this status, A product of San l rancisco's lVlission district, McPhee learned the practical side of his joh hy taking an active interest in a family farm. After graduating from the University of California in l9l7 he taught, served in Naval intelligence and aboard a destroyer in World War l. was a county agent for a while and finally turned to agricultural teaching and school administration. A man of unlimited energy. he took over the rein at Cal Poly in l933. while still occupying the post of Chief of the State Bureau of Agricultural lfducation. He successfully held hoth positions until l94-44. when he resigned from the Bureau to become State Director of Vocational Education. Most recent recognition of his views came this fall when he was elected national president of the American Vocational Association.

With an enroll- ment of more than 400 students there this year. the citriculture, horticulture and agricultural inspec- tion branch has definitely come of age. Not only have the physical facilities of the Voorhis unit been expanded this year, but the student body has now entered actively in inter-collegiate athletics with teams being fielded in football, basketball, base- ball and minor sports. At first students at the Cal Poly campus seemed concerned over the fact that sports writers couldnit get straightened out on the fact that Cal Poly had a football team at both San Luis Obispo and San Dimas. But when the Broncos at Voorhis began Winning games while the Mus- tangs were losing, there seemed to be less agitation at San Luis when the two teams were confused in the metropolitan sport pages. Under the able guid- ance of Dean Harold Wilson the Voorhis unit is cutting its own niche in the educational hall of fame. The Chapel at Voorhis is seldom used except for weddings, but it forms a picturesque center for the beautiful San Dimas campus.

He served as Press Club president last year. Student HE FALL quarter marked the opening of a new era in Student Government at Cal Poly when a constitution adopted last spring went into operation under the leadership of student body president Gene Pimentel. Based on a six- teen man student affairs council, the system is designed to secure fair hearings for all matters regarding student or- ganizations and the disposal of student body funds. Pimentel and the fifteen other voting members were faced with the problem of setting precedents this year, as well as running student body business. Seven of the council repre- sentatives are elected by popular vote, while seven more are chosen by the various departmental control boards which govern Music, Athletics, Publications, etc. Two other members are faculty personnel. None of the legislators are paid for their services, excepting the student manager who attends meetings but does not vote. Campus clubs which are not sponsored by one of the school's departments, obtain a voice in the student affairs council through an organization known as the inter-club council. Clubs sponsored by educational departments such as Aero, or Boots and Spurs, choose SAC representatives through a similar group known 'as the inter-departmental council. Much of the SAC's business originates through the clubs, whose presidents are, of course, in direct touch with their members. A combination cabinet and legislature, the council proved to be a marked success in its first nine months of operation.

WO IMPORTANT features of Cal Polyis student government set up are the Inter-departmental and Inter-club councils, which meet twice a month to assist the student body vice-president in planning and carrying out social activities. Presidents of all clubs sponsored by an educational department of the college make up the Inter- clepartmental group, while the Inter-club council consists of the heads of social and non-educational organizations. Vice-president Don Seaton presided over the joint meetings of the two councils, while Ray Harwood and Bill Reddick represented them in the student affairs council. A dance for townspeople in the fall and the pre-Poly Royal Hop on April 30 were two of the affairs sponsored by these bodies.

This board is composed of seven students and three members of the faculty. Under the chairmanship of John Patterson this group appointed the editorial personnel, directed the financial programs and outlined the editorial policies of El Mus- tang, El Rodeo, The Mustang Roundup and the Frosh Handbook. Much of the board's work in this, its first year of existence, was in outlining principles of operation on which future boards could base decisions.

John Healey alertly guards Cal Polyis interests in the complex net- work that is collegiate athletic publicity. Press advances on Poly teams and pictures of players must be sent to papers in many communities. Sports writers in rival towns must he given the inside information that will enable them to write clear, interesting stories about Mustang teams. Opponents must he furnished with line- ups and other program information. All of these tasks and a few more fall to Healey. a San Jose State grad with a long record of reporting for Northern California papers. The evidence of his success lies in tht- many favorable comments won by Cal Poly teams and players in Pacific Coast sports pages this year.

EL RODEO ,48 marks a new era in the publishing of California Polytechnicfs oldest stu- dent publication. Early in the season, the staff decided to make this year's book different in every way possible from past publications. Sixty pages were added to the book. the individual page size was increased to make way for a new style of lay- out. Through the introduction of this type of layout the staff has attempted to make every double page different and more attractive to the reader. The editorial staff has streamlined the copy to fit the new offspring, while still giving an accurate report of the year's activities. Less often thought of, but an integral part of the staff are the men who make El Rodeo solvent, our business staff. If it were not for the persuasive efforts of these men, the advantages of the new book could not have been realized.

Heavily booked for home dances, they nevertheless found time to make the Northern California trip with the Clee Club, and to entertain at Santa Barbara College's home- coming and the Poly Vue Celebration at San Dimas. To the delight of their audiences, they mixed smooth, sweet dance rhythms with more complicated and spectacular arrangements of a variety of numbers. Furthermore, the home concert and tour per- formances were punctuated with clever clowning which audiences found highly appealing. All schools where the orchestra performed in the Northern counties sounded them out on the possibilities of return engagements, and Chico State College paid Davidson's men the additional compliment of offering them a date for the Wildcats, annual campus celebration.

BY THE time an enchanting Katie Dupont had placed a crown on the head of a radiant Pat Walker in the Camp San Luis Obispo Armory Saturday night, May 1, the sixteenth annual Poly Royal had smashed all previous attendance records and many a happy reveler was acclaiming it the best ever. The fears engendered by late Storms earlier in the week were completely forgotten on the morning of April 30. when a glowing sun made its appearance accompanied by a mild breeze to give the campus perfect festival weather. By Saturday, Cal Poly was a happy mad-house. Standing room only was the Watchword at the rodeo and even the huge armory was unable to cope with the thousands of smartly dressed couples who came to watch the coronation. Early Sunday morning the Collegians sounded the last bars of their theme song, and the great hall began to empty. Shortly after sunrise the clean-up committees were on the job. some merrymakers were iust getting home, others were asleep with happy remembering smiles on their faces, and the l948 Poly Royal was slipping into history.

The Agricultural Engineers present their annual exhibition of farm implements. This equipment, displayed through the courtesy of the manu- facturers and sales agencies, always draws the interest of visiting farmers who see and learn about the latest wrinkles in scientific farming. Doormen deluxe, the Agricultural Inspection maiors meet all visitors to the campus. Instead of looking for diseased plants or parasitic in- sects, these boys kept a tally of the crowd and gave out stickers, programs and souvenir copies of El Mustang. Attention swings from the rodeo to the exhibi- tion of crop dusting by heliocopter.

The monthly meetings of the club were usually highlighted by speakers prominent in the California livestock industry. The club members profited greatly by these talks and gained much practical information. During the course of the year, the club held several barbecues, staged a rodeo at the Gordon Davis ranch. and sponsored a dance. Club members also were responsible for the Poly Royal rodeo, live- stock show and adult judging contest. The year's activities were culminated by a barbecue and general Hblowoutu at Serrano.

CHUCK HARTLEY Ski HE CAL POLY SKI CLUB Was organized two years ago for winter sports enthusiasts, and since that time has been one of the most active clubs on the campus. Although the skiers had a slow start this season due to the lack of snow, there were many activities. The Ski Club started out by sponsoring the first student body dance in October. After the first snow- fall the ski enthusiasts really went into action. Among the places that felt the presence of Cal Poly's skiers were the Sugar Bowl. Donner Pass. Mt. Abel, Big Bear, Mt. Rose and Sun Valley. A distinctive club insignia has been adopted and members will be sporting them next fall. A ski school is planned for activities in dry skiing, talks and movies. The ultimate goal of the club is to form a capable ski team from the most experienced members for competition with other colleges on the coast.

This year, the chapter had a degree team to initiate greenhands of the Future Farmers of Ventura and San Luis Obispo Counties. Another activity was to send two delegates to the Young Farmers state convention which was held in Modesto. At the start of the year the chapter had a membership drive which resulted in 123 new members, making this chapter the larg- est in the state organization. Among the successful activities sponsored by Young Farmers this year was a barbecue held at the county park where over llO members and faculty were fed, the Sadie Hawkins Day dance held in the new farm machinery building, and the state-wide Young Farmers livestock judging contest. In climaxing the year's activities, the chapter put on a clam bake at Morro Bay.

The purpose behind the growing treasury is the financing of future field trips. So far, the club has sponsored no dance, held no rallies.

ED BY President Weller, the Poly Engineers is one of the more active organizations on the Cal Poly campus. The club is made up of all the students inter- ested in Mechanical Engineering. The club is a recognized student chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers. The Poly Engineers are kept quite busy during the year. Active participation in campus activities and educational trips to diesel-electric and turho-electric power plants: plus the clulfs social get-togethers fill their schedule. As far as student body dances are concerned. the Poly Engineers have the last word. The club sponsors the last school dance of the year.

A new section was openefl, consisting of the former hospital unit and nurse's quarters. Almost one-half of the live hunrlrecl and fifteen men who began the term at the camp were able to move later to campus dorms or town housing. Wlhile at camp, however. the men enjoyed thirty-two man barracks, steam heated rooms, and a near- by canteen for light meals. The main diHiculty encounte ered in the setup was the distance from school -more than three miles. In many cases this was overcome by Mricle poolsll and cooperation by those men owning cars. lh Army amp BARRACK 311 ROW 'l: Whilfinglon, Burton, Mar tin, Bergeri, Mauley, Church, Fran chini, ROW 2: Muto, Angel, San lola, Vollers, Peterson, Kamm Taglio, Goodwin.

Co ching UUKIXG OVER the past year ol' athletics at Poly presents a picture of partial confusion. Perhaps it just a coincidence. but following: the poor show- ing made by some of the teams during the past year several changes were made in the athletic department. Dr. Voltmer. director of athletics here at Poly. re- signed his position to assume new duties at the College of the Pacific. Howard U'Daniels, head football coach. has been shifted to other duties pending the selection of a new director of athletics. Charles llavelko. assist- ant grid coach. has been assigned the job of handling spring football practice. The college being left tem- porarily without the services of an athletic director. Robert Mott. varsity baseball coach. has been selected by President McPhee to fulfill the duties necessary until such an appointment has been made. Come thc wars ol' 'flfrl we will very likely see new faces in the drix'er's seat of the athletic program here at Poly.

The coming fall would usher in a new era in athletics here at Cal Poly. The college would become a full fledged member of the California Collegiate Athletic Association, the second most powerful conference on the Pacific Coast. The majority of the gridders took this step in stride and felt that with the squad suffering no losses from graduation, Poly would encounter little difficulty. Fall practice started on schedule September lst. Then the boom was lowered. The squad which faced the coaching staff on that day did not even faintly resemble the ball club that ripped through the previous season with six wins as against two losses. Of the 21 lettermen from the previous year nine key men were lost from the squad. Ozzie Dusina and Jim Yates, two of the all-time greats at Poly were absent. With the first game a little more than three weeks distant a complete reorganiza- tion had to take place. Players were shifted to fill gaps and what re- serves available were moved to bolster weaknesses. The men were put through conditioning exercises followed by intensive signal drill and dummy scrimmage. With the squad shaping up as well as could be expected full scale contact work was held between the varsity and the freshman ball clubs. A few of the ragged edges were removed from the intricate 6T' forma- tion and the Mustangs were ready to tangle with the Sun Devils of asf Shadows REG JESPERSEN Halfback STAN NIGG Fullback LEE ROSA Quarterback Page One Hundred Ninety-'nine n Coach Chuck Pavelko and Half- buck Paul Platz watching the Pepperdine College grid mu- chine roll. gil ,,,.

Probably the most versatile is Vernon 'Pinky' Beber- nes. Besides handling the punting assignments and being one of the team's top flight passers, he is quite a baseball player. Last year he captained the baseball squad and ended the season with a batting average of 342. Pinky has two years of eligibility left and should develop into an all-time great at Poly. Marshall Samuels. a giant tackle, has always made it a point to put the fear of the Lord into oppos- ing ball players with his speed and aggressive spirit. Samuels was seriously injured in the Arizona State ball game and was out most of the year. When he did return to the lineup he served as an ex- ample as well as an inspiration to his teammates. He has two years of playing eligibility remaining. Ken Rawhide, Cornelius is a man who stands above all when it comes to carrying the fight to the opposition. Besides performing on the gridiron. Rawhide gives opposing collegiate boxers lessons in the fine art of fisticuffs. ln the 2C2A boxing finals last March. he demonstrated his ability by walk- ing off with the Conference heavyweight crown via the knockout route. Returning in the fall will be the majority of the squad below to have their second trial with top flight competition.

Playing before a packed stadium of 9000 people the Mustangs were never in the ball game. being totally outclassed. The Mustang bench had the atmosphere of a front line first aid clearing station. Men were constantly limping off the field either under their own power or that of a couple of discouraged and humiliated teammates. The Sun Devils started playing football from the opening kick-off while the Mustang attack never got started. It was a case of being there first with the most. When the final gun sounded and the Mustang coaching staff looked over the remnants of the squad, they had a first class preview of the coming season. During the course of the ball game the Mustangs lost the services of five first string linemen. How that hurt the Polyites can be partially judged from the scores of later ball games. The hnal score, Arizona 33, Poly 6. Returning home the Mustang gridders pulled what was left together and played host to a highly undermanned team from Cal Tech. The Polymen scored almost at will ending the ball game with their only win of the season. Poly 26. Cal Tech 6. During the course of the season the Mustangs played three more non-conference tilts. dropping all of them. San Francisco State dropped the Mustangs to the tune of l9'18. Occidental College, which was defeated by the Mustangs in 746 humbled the home gridders 16-7. One of the worst defeats on record for the year was administered by Darwin Horn and Company from Pepperdine College. The Mustangs were shellacked -17-0.

It was the only bright spot on the program for the Poly rooters. Following San Diego State the Polymen traveled to Fresno. This was by far the best effort put forth during the entire season. 0'Daniels, for the first time since the season started, had a full complement of ball blayers. The Mustangs did a very good job of pulling the Bulldogs teeth. but were handicapped by a couple of bad breaks and the game went to the Staters 14-6. The next conference game was at home against the hottest team in the league, the Tigers from the College of the Pacific. C.O.P. scored first and the Mustangs followed a little while later. The chance for the supreme effort and possibly the biggest upset on the coast went out the window with the Mustangs fumbling on the Tigers nine yard line. C.O.P. recovered and the Mustangs ran out of From then on it was a case of the Mustangs trying to Mhold that Tiger and failing 41-7. Next on the Mustang's shopping list for a league victory was Santa Barbara State. The Polymen went into the Gaucho game with the attitude of everything to gain and nothing to lose and filled that bill for the first half. That old jinx man took over in the second half and it was just a question of how many times. This was one ball game that should have been in the bag. but the boys couldnit win for losing. Poly showed the shades of '46 several times during the ball game. Both Poly scores were made by smashing drives down field that the Gauchos couldnit hold. Coming back to San Luis Obispo, the Mustangs began to prepare for the Spartans of San ,lose State. It was decided that someone was in for a rough evening and the Mustangs began to think that it could happen to the Spartans. It was at least worth a try, no love being lost between either school. The game went to the Spartans 47-0 but along with the victory Cal Poly was paid a tribute in one of the San Francisco journals that Hit was the toughest ball game we have played in all year. this by a San Jose olhcial. It must have been true. because the following week-end the Spartans were dumped by Fresno State. The season as a whole was probably the worst in the history of the college. These things happen often and sometimes can't be helped. No single factor can be singled out as the cause for the debacle. There were many. and everyone has an opinion. Beginning of the end..

The l947-8 campaign proved to he a hlending of the new and the old. Heading the first year list was the name of ffoach Ed Jorgensen. Coach Jorgensen. a graduate and former casaha artist at Chico State. joined the Poly athletic department after leaving Marin J. C., where he turned out some top hasketluall squads. Coach Jorgensen stepped into actix e coaching here at Poly as assistant .l.

Marin J. fi. also gave up two stellar performers to the Mustang cause in liohhy floghlan and lloh liahich. fioghlan proved to he the answer as a running mate for Hank Moroski and the two of them put their nndersized frames together to form one of the finest scoring comhos in the ZC2.-X conference. also on the incoming list were Jim Neal. Frank Ross. and ,lim Ellis. all from the State of Vliashington. Ellis, the inainspring of the three. held down the pivot position most of the season. Ross. a top ball handler. was injured early in the season and his action on the floor was limited. Neal. while seeing action on the second five. proved to he a menace to the opposition while in the game. Rounding out the newcomers were John Gerry and Bud Gutierrez. Gerry was prohahly the most improved man on the squad this season and played his hest hall in the last few games of the season. Gutierrez in winning his initial letter here at Poly showed what he could do under pressure and was one of the stcadiest men on the lloor.

MOROSKY LEE ROSA DON GARMAN Manager Outfielder Pitcher THE OUTLOOK for a successful baseball season this year to date has been very promising. Last year the Mustangs won ll and dropped l4 over the stretch and wound up with a seasons average of 423. Of the ll contests won 3 were conference tilts with the Polymen taking all conference members at least once with the exception of San D' U S ' ' ' lero tate which copped the league title. The Mustang nine face a 32 game schedule which includes Games with some of the - Z. , best teams on the coast. Starting with Westmont College on March 6th, the Mustangs run throu h t'l M 6. f ' g un 1 ay lver the early part of the schedule the ball club was rained out of nine tilts and these were shifted further alone into lVlav and l h .

Among these men are two choices from last yea1 s All-Conference nine, Pinky Bebernes and Eugene Fraser. Bebernes gained his recog- nition by his big stick work at the plate and great defensive play at shortstop. Pinky batted .342 to top the Mustangs in that department. Fraser, Poly centerfielder, took a great delight in worrying opposing pitchers with his base running antics. He was by far the best base runner in the conference and made the hard ones look easy out in the centerfield gardens. For pitchers Coach Mott will rely on his mainstays of the '47 season. Don Crawford the dean of the Mustang staff, was the top notch man last year winning six while losing two ball games. Coming in behind Crawford will be Don Carman, fireball portsiderg John Williams. right hander, and Russel Christensen, right handed fast ball artist. With the right pitching and the proper support the Mustangs are going to be the team to watch in the conference race. BOB COGHLAN JOHN WILLIAMS Shortstop Pitcher Page Two Hundred Twenty one Larry Brown talking the situation over with Russ Christensen, Poly chucker. What is the best method of stopping a Marine? Page Two Hundred Twenty-two Paul Platz, right. AMONG THE turnout of over 50 aspirants for the baseball squad this spring, Coach Mott found several promis- ing rookies that are currently holding down positions on the starting nine. Bob Coghlan. Mustang basketball star, has taken over shortstop and is hitting over the .300 mark at the present time. Moving over to the keystone sack, Bob McCutcheon has been doing a bang-up job in the field as well as at the plate. One of the biggest trouble spots during spring training was finding a capable first baseman. When Dick Buhlert checked into the position the gap was filled and the Mustang infield complete. Hay Brocker, a slugging catcher from Marysville, had the backstop position secured when he was declared in- eligible for conference play. Larry Brown and Bud Taglio have been splitting the duty behind the plate and so far have been doing a commendable job. With such a promising group of rookies to aid last year's regulars the Polymen are figured to be a first division club in the conference. Time will tell.

The rains finally came and as a result the Mustangs had l2 postponements in their schedule and lost many days of practice. The season opened with the Mustangs playing the ungenerous host to Vlvestmont College. taking the hall game, l7-l. On a swing down south the Polymen trampled Point Mugu. l5-l, took the measure of Occidental College. 8-l, and trouneed the San Dimas lironcos, ll-5. Returning home the Mustangs ran into foul weather and several games were scrubbed. The next trip took them north for a tive game jaunt. Two of these games were played but the forced layoff showed up as they dropped successive tilts to Moffett Field. 10-ll. and a heart breaker to the University of California. ll-5. The next appearance of the Mustangs was on home grounds to entertain the El Toro Marines. The Marines landed but couldn't live up to advance notices and the hall game went to the Mustangs, 9-8. The next three games will probably be remembered around Poly for many years to come. The Mottmen traveled to Santa Barbara to tangle with the Gauchos in the Mustangs first conference round of the season. Everything went fine until the last inning of the first game. The Mustangs held a comfortable lead and proceeded to blow up. They carrie back in the second game of the double header. behind the master- ful pitching of Don Carman. and swamped the Gauchos ll-9. It was during the second ball game that Pinky liebernes. Poly 3rd sacker. was run over hy a Gaucho baserunner while fielding a grounder. Pinky had to leave the ball game but not until some harsh words were passed between some of the ball players. Vlvitb the series tied at one game apiece the Mustangs came back the following day for the rubber game. Sparks were flying. In the late innings of the ball game the conflagration broke out over a disputed play at second base and what resulted was probably the biggest mixup ever seen in Pacific Coast baseball. Santa Barbara being the host was judged as right but the damage was done. The Mustangs blew sky high and along with it went the ball game. 17-4. As this goes to press that is the extent of the Mustangs' participation in conference games. Xvith l2 league tilts remaining the Mustangs have a hard road to travel. Even though they may not win them all. they donit lose them easily.

DEADLINE for El Rodeo is being met tonight. The last few pages have been dummied and the copy is now being written. It has been a long. hard and sometimes trying job to reach this point. and the men who have worked at it deserve a great deal of thanks. l want to thank Frank Slaven for his fine work in laying out much of the book and in making up many of the dummy sheets for the printer: Merv Chamberlain and his business staff who, for this yearis book. broke all previous records in the Sale of advertising space. Section Editors Dave Johnson. classesg Ted Viiales, activitiesg and Chuck Hammond. organizationsg did fine jobs in editing their sections as did Joe Griffin. athleticsg John Rixon. dormitoriesg and lack R. Anderson. facultyg who did very complete work on their sections. The work done by each member of this year's photography classes proved invaluable in meeting many deadlines. especially on pictures for the advertising section. John Klopp and Ed Nitenson spent many extra hours in the darkroom pushing through proofs for the many editors. Chuck Chapman and lack Anderson. ace photographers from last year's staff, showed their proficiency with a camera in bringing back many of the very excellent pictures in this book. A great deal of credit must go also to men not regularly on the staff. who contributed written articles, identifications and snapshots. Bob Crabbe is one of these men who I believe tops the list. He not only pinched hit in writing copy for many of the sections. he also acted to a very great extent as copv editor of these sections. All of these men would have had a very difficult time putting out El Rodeo if it were not for the very able teaching and guidance of faculty advisor. Rob Kennedy. His ability to keep the engraver. printer and the staff of El Rodeo posted as to each others activities has proved invaluable in correlating the activities of each. His cheerful criticisms both good and had have also been greatly appreciated. May l thank for you all these men for the very worthy work they have done in producing your book. El Rodeo l948. Thanks are due also to those able artisans who did the actual mechanical production of this largest yearbook in Cal Poly history. Wie believe we are justified in issuing citations for meritorious service above and beyond the call of duty to Pio J. Venturelli. in charge of yearbook production. at Murray 8 Gee. lnc.. Printers and Publishers. Culver City. and to Vfiarren Lewis. of the Angelus Engraving Company. l.os Angeles, whose sincere interest in Poly's welfare has been evidenced in his helpful cooperation for more than a decade. Thanks are also due to Mr. Rates of Gainsborough Studio. who took the portraits. On behalf of the student body, l wish again to thank these men for the worthy efforts they put forth in producing the 191148 yearbook, El Rodeo. J IM COLEMAN, Emron, Er.
