Archive® PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS California State Polytechnic College, San Luis Obispo, California Editor, Cordon Beach 04« Wart! nion Jn W, emonam Near the front of most books there are the words, In memory of . . This book is no different. With a still-fresh sense of loss, we remem- ber the friends who left us this year. First, death took Olga Martinson, the beloved Golden Voice of Poly. Before we could walk past her station at the information desk with- out thinking just the other day ... , we lost Wilbur Ted Howes, the cheerful and friendly head of the ornamental horticulture department. In one short academic year, the loss of two such great friends was a bitter blow to Poly. But each would have said, Build on! Build an ever-greater Poly! So we went on, and we will continue to go on, finishing their uncom- pleted work as best we can: still remembering Olga's cheerful Good morning, California Polytechnic! and the bright beauty of shrubs and flowers that Ted Howes taught us to create. 2 3 4 m atj tjour f raises c er ic loti. 5 Gymnoiium r and of C on rage 6 7 Th. hom on campus JWJU Q, reen 8 9 En� ron e.

CONTENTS Chapter I—Administration Chapter 2 —Academic Chapter 3 —Social Chapter 4 —Sports Chapter 5—Classes Chapter 6 —Calendar Chapter 1 — Administration About the people who are our government In modern society there must be laws and rules of procedure. At Poly we have two governing bodies that work hand-in-hand to establish and maintain the order so necessary to an organized community. And Poly is just that—a community having education for its major industry. There are also the people who keep the records we make and perform hundreds of other services that are required in any community. To all of these, the college administration, the student body government, and the many service units we dedicate the following pages of your Book of the Year . Deon Chondler, President McPhee, Bob McKellar, and Bob Smith look over the orientation schedule for new students.

Here at Poly there are many forces at work shaping our futures. Perhaps the most positive of these forces are our instructors—we spend so many hours in their class rooms and offices—yes, and we even call on their help before and after class time. Somehow, we can't help but feel that maybe in some way we, the students, shape their lives too. The many classes of Poly students that flow through the old “brain factory” must leave some impression. If they did, it was a good one. Poly seems to excell in getting the job done. Much of the credit must go to grads who bring in praises of our “learn by doing” college. But before them, after them, and while they were hore, the people who make possible our unique and effective way of educating deserve a lion's share of the credit. To the instructors, in every division and department, thanks. To you we dedi- cate the following pages of your Book of the Year.” AGRICULTURE LETT TO RIGHT: George Digram, Richard leach, Jomet Merton, Howard Brown, Dean Shepard, Warren Smith, Logan Carter, Or.

The “major’s1’ clubs continue career interests beyond the classroom and the social clubs fill the hours set aside for recreation and relaxation. It is through these organizations that we get our first glimpse of society in action. Here, too, are the opportunities to show leadership and to experience the pleas- ures of knowing that we have done someone a service. At last the many-sided Poly life takes shape—each part in some club activity an experience in service, leadership, education, entertainment, government, and just plain living. To the clubs, both social and departmental, we dedicate the following pages of your “Book of the Year. Jock Schlatter President Fronk Kroeger Secretory-Treasurer One of the youngest clubs on compus is the Ad libbers. Col Poly's own little Theotre group. Their purpose is to create, develop, and further student interest in acting and ploy production. They chalked up two successful productions this yeor: See Here, iock Dalton ond Dead End. The group showed its versatility by contributing the voices for Peorl Turner's Puppet Show. AD LIBBERS 88 FRONT ROW—LEFT TO RIGHT: Walt Ingle, Wilbur Hanley. Rhodie long.

In football and boxing our honors have topped the lists, with a promise of more to come as late season sports field their teams. But even those who didn’t ‘‘chin the moon” fought well for Poly, giving the student body a great thrill and showing the world that little Poly does things in big ways. So it’s hats off to the men who give their time and sacrifice their comfort to train and make each year’s athletic program at Poly better. To the athletes in the teams and to those who stand alone for honor and the fun of playing the game, we dedicate the following pages of your Book of the Year.” 146 Dave Ziemer, outstanding athlete of the year Dove loopi one into Ihe hoop . . . ond llomt one acton Ihe net. 147 148 California State Polytechnic College 1952 Football Season Results (Won 7, Lost 3) Opp. 28 21 18 o 26 13 42 7 6 14 175 Cal Poly '7 0 20 19 34 39 20 32 26 27 224 Sul Ross State..........

Bobby Neal's tremendous post to Alex Bravo opened the scoring in the first quarter, the post ond run being good for 76 yards. Thod Murrin dashed 60 yards for another Poly touchdown and Marijon Ancich bulled across for the finol tally In the fourth period. The actual margin of victory came off the talented toe of len Smith.

Boom Boom Brovo, Newt Wokemon and Bob Smith follied for the Mustangs, but it wos the Poly defense that stole the show.

The long air trip to Alpine, Texos, coupled with a few 240-pound Sul Rot griddert, proved loo much for the local to hondle. Alex Bravo was the bright light in this de- feot o he rombled 48 yard for the lone home tolly. BRA01EY v . POIY (Peoria, Illinois) Still no hint as to whot wo coming for Poly football fans— Bradley's Braves proved to be onother rude host os they belted the Green and Gold by a 21-0 score. The Mustong attock faltered on teverol promising drives in the final quorter, but oside from that there was little to recommend the Hughesmen for a CCAA grid title. Poly’s Clive Remund attempted a S0-yord field gool thot missed by the proverbiol whisker. This gome marked the only day thot Poly failed to cross on enemy gool line.

It wos a ose of Poly doing nearly everything wrong, and Whittier vice versa. The offense looked good (Neol, Murrin, Lawson) but Poly's post defense wos mighty weak. Highlight of the otherwise exciting gome wos Neal's long leedee past to Murrin. 105 ANGELIS STATE vs. POLY (San Luis Obispo) It didn't toke the Mustongs long to get bock on the winning Iroil offer the Whittier debacle, as Coach Hughes sow his boys go out and tromp LA State 32-7 on the Poly field.

The rewords of so many victories were slim for Cooch Ed Jorgensen's lads, however, os four of those six defeats came at the bonds of CCAA quintets. The result left Poly in third ploce in the finol conference standings, behind Pepperdine ond San Oiego Stole.

Coach George Prouse’s boys reached their peak in the season finale with John Muir college when they scored a 14-8 upset. Jerry Watson was a sensational runner all year long, and received additional help from his old Santa Maria high school side-kick, Dick Edie.

He competed in the Tennis tourney, too. 181 182 Chapter 5 — Classes About everyone who goes to Poly and how far he's gone. We’ve tried to do something different this year by selecting students from each class who seem to really represent a cross section of it. Naturally, we missed some people who are outstanding in many ways. To them we say “sorry . To the students who caught our eye—the fellows we think are good representatives of the spirit and activities of their class—we say “keep up the good work.” More than to these few who are set out as examples, we congratulate every student whose picture is found on the following pages. Congratulations for picking Poly and con- gratulations for maintaining that great Poly tradition, “Learn by Doing . But it’s to the graduates that we really dedicate this chapter. They have reached the goal—and lead the chapter, that they may look back and see the faces of students in each stage of the job they have just finished. To our seniors, those Poly grads who consistently earn for us the respect of leaders in Engineering, Agriculture, and fields related to arts and sciences, we dedicate the following pages of your “Book of the Year.” SENIORS Senior doss President Bob McKellor . . .

In the shape of a camera, these photographic eyes recorded the fun we had, the guests we entertained, and the everyday work we did—without thinking. In the same way, our “eyes” recorded the merchants and business men who served us through the year, every day in some way, without our giving them much thought, either—except when something was needed. Then we called on them to produce from some magic horn of plenty” the exact object of our desire. And they did! To these faithful providers, and to the American way of life that gave them birth, we dedicate these last pages of your “Book of the Year.” YOUR COLLEGE STORE Smokeshop • Bookstore • Supply Shop The Place To Go For Your Everyday Needs • Fountain • :xi:!?Tn rrariPwi 214 RG 13' SEPTEMBER gathered our belongings . . . movpd into our dorms . . . 215 and settled down to studies!?)

For awhile there, it didn't look like we would eve be finished. The last few weeks were rough. But now that it's over, we're glad we had a han e to build this book of memories for you, who are both our publishers and our public. We have tried to record a portion of every day in every student’s life at Poly— tried to put in these 752 pages the most representative picture of a college year Poly hot ever had. Now it's up to you to decide—Have we succeeded? Starting right along with the school year, we began to plan the book. We chose the theme Book-of-the-Year because it pictured what we would try to do—give you a picture book of your year at Cal Poly. We held a contest to select your cover, because we wanted the best ideas of many students to choose from, lance Grolla't teemed the one best suited to our plant for a modern, colorful, and streomlined book. The S. K. SMITH COMPANY, ably managed by Bill Relchin, helped us iron out the cover production difficulties, and manufactured our podded covers. As lay-out ideas began to fall |or be pushed) into place, we sought tome extra-graphic meant for selling the voriout phases of Poly life apart. Bill Thrasher ontwered the coll ond, with pen and brush in hand, created the cartooned characters which you'll find add to the over-all appcol. To handle the gigantic task of publicity. Art Mullet came to our ranks, followed by Frank Tours, who recorded the year sportswise. Bob Colomy joined in at general attitlonl to the editor and Dave Sesock, Newt Wakeman ond Emil Thompson contacted our advertisers. Mony other students helped from time to time, rolling up their sleeves and pulling us out of the hole. But this it a picture book, ond “to do the impossible we called on Bob Clintsman. At head photographer (and many other things, too) Bob worked with Pete McAfee, Norm llltley, and Rene De la Briandait in building the huge pile of photos that make this year's El RODEO. When the chips were down, Jim Tonji and Cot Sxukaltki added their cameras ond experience. Mickey Dunlap, of Dunlap-Tumey Photography, photographed our graduates. When the copy started to pile up, George Hunter was colled on to fill the Copy Editor’s shoes, ond he did. With the editor and our advisor, Ken Kitch (who saved us hours of work ond did a lot of our worrying with us), George read every word of copy that is printed in these pages—not once but twice. Then your El RODEO was turned over to Hans Hjorth, to print our copy, ond Jack Flower, to blend the jumble of words ond pictures into a melody of pictures, words and color. The hours of work they did at the Wolfer Printing Company bring you the perfect reproduction you find in your 1953 Book-of-the-Yeor. Your editor cracked the whip and pul his finger in everything.
