Arciuvud • ;957 • • • urnincj (Point (Jn (Dedication: Your El Rodeo stoff wishes to dedicate this book, first and fore- most, to all Poly students, faculty, and friends of the college . . . past, present, or future. You are the reason for El Rodeo '57's existence. It would not be in keeping with the memory and spirit of '1956-57 at Cal Poly if we did not make a secondary or spe- cial dedication — a dedication to the new Poly, the turning point, and the new era all rolled up into one a dedication to the Co-ed, for she is much of the reason for all these new and different things. So formally: To the handful of females who have helped pave the way for future females, new buildings, and expanded scho- lastic programs . . . not to mention expanded social activities . . . this yearbook is pleasantly and joyfully dedicated. 2 The turning point hit us this year ... in many more ways than one. Surely, we ll all remember 1957 as the year we converted two dor- mitories, the gym, the cafeterias, ond our manners to please the new co-eds. But other firsts went into making of our turning point — A record Cal Poly family of 4,550 students and staff in the fall quarter, including the 200-plus co-eds; new occupational curricula, including addition of the Home Economics and Ag Education departments; and the prospect of a 33 million-dollar building program—these were the lorger circles in which our turning point moved. Cal Poly's President, Julian A. McPhee. Life consists of a succession of turning points. This is true because neither men nor institutions can stand still; they go either forward or backward. Cal Poly believes its function to be that of providing an oc- cupational education for its students which will enable them to move steadily forward to achievement of an effective and successful life. To that end if has sought to provide you op- portunities to become informed, to learn to think clearly to right decisions, to gain the knack of working with others, to know the value and dignify of hard work. To the extent that you, the student, have profited from these opportunities, you will be able to face the turning points of life confident that your turnings will be upward and onward. Julian A.

The reasons for these additions were, among others, expanding enrollments and a new type of student... i.e., female. But mainly responsible is the fact that while we may learn- by-doing, we must certainly realize that we also learn by watching, and listening to those who know how to do . .. the instructor and the administrator.

The turning point, namely the advent of girls in the Ag Divi- sion, was looked upon with mixed emotions by faculty and students alike. Some stoutly maintained that Poly Ag would be ruined, and others looked upon the change with a great deal of pleasant expecta- tions. Actually, girls hove arrived for keeps, and except that they are competing very favorably with the boys in lectures and labs, there has been very little change. Those students and fac- ulty who were inclined to be- lieve that the girls would not wish to do their share of the less glamorous chores in agri- culture, discovered much to their surprise that the fair sex can be counted on to excel even in the dirty jobs. Progress continues to be the theme of the Agricultural Divi- sion with admission of girls in the fall of 1956. James F. Merson, Ag Engineering Head.

' r TlI NEW BUILDINGS. one being the new Engineer- ing Building, the east wing of which Is seen here, were port of Engineering s turning point- of Poly. NEW FACES, like the ones owned by these gols woshing their hands outline the Printing lob, were seen in the Engineering Division. Engineers like to think in terms of analogies. One of the fa- vorites in the Engineering Divi- sion is the analogy between the art of sailing a boat and the progress of the division toward its objectives. Sailboats make the maximum progress along their desired course when they have a strong wind astern and a calm sea ahead. However, they can still make progress through troubled seas and unfavorable winds— by tacking. This is the art of nullifying unfavorable compo- nents and utilizing the favorable ones to gain progress along the course. There have been times when lack of facilities and other tem- porary problems have forced the Engineering Division to make its progress by tacking. With the addition of new facilities and the ever-increasing demand for en- gineers, the tacking periods are past. The turning point is be- hind. The wind has shifted as- tern. There is sure and quick sailing ahead. Oferonauiical [sncjineerincj AERO STAFF (left to fight) M. Mortinsen. W. Nolly. R Metz, D. Smith. V . Werbock, C. Price. - l. V .

Instead of slackening with the admission of women, as some expected, the spirit of this theory increased ... as shown partly by the height- ened degree of participation in sports, activities, and student government. Which may serve to show that Icarning by doing will al- ways be prevalent at Poly ... no matter how many turning points or new eros come along. Cal Poly's outstanding ROTC battalion continued its successful rise to prominence on campus when the current seniors returned to the college last fall with the number one rating after completion of summer camp at Fort Lewis, Washington.

Next on the slate, and again with the advantage of home soil, was New Mexico A M. The Aggies were stubborn, and halftime found an even 7-7 clash, but the final 32-7 score more than justified the efforts of the Hughesmen. The Green and Gold next traveled south to meet the Pepperdine College Waves. The Waves were made to look more like mere ripples as the Mustangs battered them down to a crushing 45-0 defeat. The following Saturday, October 13, found the local fans shedding tears as the San Diego State Aztecs won 7-6, rudely slamming the door on Cal Poly's bid for another perfect season. As the 65-12 score indicated, the Mustangs were all fired up for the October 20th Homecoming tilt with Long Beach State. The game was just what the doctor ordered to soothe wounds acquired by the Mustangs during the previous week in their heartbreaker with San Diego. Cal Poly was once more solidly entrenched in the win column. They met and defeated on foreign soil a very strong College of Idaho team by the narrowest of margins — 7-6 — in a true mud battle.

Poly rolled over the Waves 43-0 in thit Saturday night game ot El Comino Stadium in lot Angelet. It was home again to face the 200-pound-plus Son Diego Marine Corps line. They were big, but so was Goliath — and Cal Poly's half of the 27-8 score. Although packing a hefty line, the Marines failed to contain Poly's tolented backs, especially one Rudy Brooks, who ran for two of Cal Poly's four touchdowns. The bells failed to toll for the local gridders as they invaded Fresno State. The crowd of 11,000 experienced some fine football as both teams displayed their all. The score v ith 35 seconds remaining was Fresno 14, Cal Poly 13; the final score was Fresno 21, Cal Poly 13. The Mustangs, however, appeared hindered by the loss of Willie Hudson who was injured about halfway through the game. The San Jose clash was almost a replay of the Fresno game as Poly matched the Spartans touchdown for touchdown until the last five minutes when the Soartans tallied the deficit. The Mustangs were beaten only by the score, 35-28. Home and pay dirt for a climax. Fitting, thought the fans as the Mighty Musrangs poiisned off Midwestern University 24 to 13, Thanksgiving Day. Fans found themselves amazed throughout the season by the pigskin-attracting fingers of Jim Cox, fine running and passing by Jerry Duncan and Bob Beathard, and weaving broken field running by halfback Rudy Brooks. These were only a few of the standouts that gained nearly 1000 yards more than their combined opponents. Jim Cox was named second string 'All-American, while Rudy Brooks received honorable mention All-American. End Jim Cox, quarterback Jerry Duncan, and halfbacks Jim Antoine and Rudy Brooks were also, chosen for the all-CCAA team. ftop ro botfem) Rowland Pilario, bock Dave Proctor, back Sheldon William� , lire Duone Wickstrom, line, Seaton Captain A brillionf d splay of hip movement is shown in the Turkey Day classic os the Midwestern pigskin army goes in hoi pursuit of o Mutrong who is about to gather in a pass.

And as time progressed, we became pretty good buddies (darn good buddies!) We studied hard together, helping one another out whenever we could. We also played hard as a team in our intramural sports, ond increased our ability to get along with our fellow man. The participation in dormitory projects showed that we were capable of working as a group. We will also admit that we have had our share of laughs.

Names of Chase inhabitants showed frequently on the rosters of most inter collegiate sports. Chase also entered intramural teams in football, basketball, and soccer.

The girls have made a place for themselves and their dorm by winning the plaque for the best Christmas decorations for '56, holding a party to celebrate the Chinese New Year with their two coeds from Hong Kong, and running a Poly Royal booth. They even received a porpoise as a gift from some well-meaning, but misguided admirers. tiler esi 'Skid Row is right I 3), orm Hillcrest Dormitory, commonly termed “Skid Row, must be the most unorthodox dorm on campus!

The women of Jespersen organ- ized early in the year with the aim of establishing their sex as partici- pating members of the college community. At the opening of the school year, Mrs. Charlotte Mom Smith, who graduated in the last co-ed class nearly 30 years ago, was housemother to the newcomers. An unfortunate accident caused her to be replaced for the winter quarter by Mrs. Mae Nichols. Realizing that they are a pilot group, the girls of Jespersen have worked to set realistic and dignified precedents by which Poly co-eds of the future may be guided.

Occupied by 95 intelligent young men, this dorm participates in a great variety of activities. At the beginning of the year, the Dorm sponsored a successful social with the residents of the co-eds dorms. Palomar participates in intramural sports with a football team, two basketball teams, and a volleyball team.

A leader in wholesome activities for its residents, ond an instigator of lifelong friendships. In keeping with traditions set in previous years, this mountain monarch” turned out one cham- pionship intramural football team in the fall quarter of the 1956-'57 school year. Their power remained constant throughout the various intra- mural sport seasons. Men from every major are represented here. Through their combined talents, activities were able to be formulated that included every dorm resident ... an asset of accomplishment for future community life. Shasta were barbecues held in the shadows of Among the vigorous and healthful activities of the Santa Lucia Mountains where the men could relax and let their hair down. The unitary work- ing order of the dorm produced one of the finest Christmas displays on campus. All this was ac- complished through the well organized dorm meetings.

Club members participated in a Farm Management course called Successful California Farm Operations, invited California agriculture experts to speak on farm management problems, and staged a successful Farm Management banquet in March, 1957, at the Mon- day Club. The members also entered a float in the Homecoming Parade, and put on a display during Poly Royal.

Rain caused a quick re-shuffle that brought the party into El Corral. Be- , v sides attending weekly meetings of the Club, and hearing the words of authori- ties of journalism and allied fields, the Club members participated in the selling of football programs and Herdbook advertising. High point of the year was the Fifth Annual Agricultural Press Banquet held af the Edna Farm Center on Saturday night of the Poly Royal weekend. Featured guest was Louis A. Rozzoni, President of the California State Farm Bureau Federation, who's topic was What California Agriculture Needs From California Journalists. o()eo CjLl The Rodeo Club of Col Poly has been active since 1949 and has participated in inter-collegiate events throughout the west.

The Col Poly Ski Club provides an organization in which skiers may come to- gether to discuss their beloved sport, skiing. The club members plan ski trips and varied social activities. During the 1956-1957 school year, the membership increased very rapidly due to a growing interest on campus in skiing. Club events include trips to Yosemite and other ski resorts, competition with other ski clubs, and a water ski exhibi- tion during Poly Royal. Future plans call for a more stimulated interest in skiing, so Cal Poly will soon have a ski team to compete in the many intercollegiate ski meets. Society of Ofutomotive The Society of Automotive Engineers is a technical society for those engaged in the development, design, production, operation, and maintenance of passenger cars, trucks, busses, aircraft, railroad equipment, tractors and machinery, their component parts, fuels, and lubricants. The term automotive” embraces oil these areas. SAE extends to its student members most of the services its members receive. It provides them with tools, which, if properly used, will help them to advance as engineers. The student members are kept up to date on new practices and techniques of industry through the SAE journal and speakers from various engi- neering fields. Cal Poly's student branch boasts fourth largest membership in the nation, and will be on top before long. SAE OFFICERS (left to fight) Front Row Jock Stammer, Pres.; Richard Kombrnk.

II I] A silver anniversary, the Science Fair, the Firehouse Five Plus Two, and a home-grown Queen were among the features that rated on the first list of I957's Poly Royal. Twenty thousand guests, alumni, and friends of Poly saw a horse show and a two-day intercollegiate rodeo, watched baseball, ate some barbequed steak, pitched pennies and dimes at the carnival, and danced themselves ragged at the Carnival Dance, the Rodeo Trophy Dance, and the Coronation Ball. These and other activities, plus some good weather for a change, all contributed to the success of this year's Poly Royal — the twenty.fifth in Poly's history.

Not to say It hasn't been fun . . . far from it: Delivering these 208 pages into your hands has at times been an interesting and enlightening experience. But we re still glad it's done. You know, the job wouldn't be finished yet if it hadn't been for some long hours put in by a lot of people ... a lot of time spent that could have been used more pleasantly at Avila, the Fremont, or Barr's. I'd like to sort of pay tribute to the people who gave us, or rather, who gave YOU this valuable time. First off is the Staff: Jeff McGrew, who actually acted in the Associate Editor capacity, and who also, by the way, is responsible for the rhythmic line layout style that dom- inates your book; Karen White, who was always in a hasty mood, but nevertheless got her sports section done in fine style; Phyllis Read, with her three activities sections and missing pictures; Jean Thomas, who left us at the end of fall quarter, but still completed most of the senior section; Eileen McGrew, whose blessed event caused the McGrew mentioned above much alarm; Sonya Woods, who worked like a slave and still managed to stop smoking (her average had been 3 cigarettes a day); Mike Blackburn, who boosted the sales average some two or three hundred books, and who also was either directly or indirectly responsible for the sale of the book in your hand; Ray Lott, Jan Lovett, Pat Gogerty, and Marilyn Sawyer, who bird-dogged in the final laps. Special thanks goes to Chuck lotspeich for his division pages . . . the silhouette ones. Chuck worked on a vol- unteer basis, giving us what we feel is one of the out- standing features of the book. A lot of gratitude is due Mike Mattis and his News Bureau photographers . . . especially Pat Keeble and Al Sales. The 1350 pictures in the book took something out of all of them. It might also be said here that we, the Staff, don't be- lieve there is a finer outfit to work with than the Year- book house of Monrovia, California. Bill Hubbell and his boys put up with some pretty rugged problems and headaches, liberally supplied by us. A final note of appreciation goes to Mr. Loren Nicholson, Yearbook Advisor and a newcomer this year to the Agri- cultural Journalism sphere. He pitched in like a staffer and made things a lot easier. (Actually, it's Mrs. Nichol- son we want to thank—she kept us in food and coffee during those long pre-deadline nights). Thanks an awful lot to both of you. That's about it. It was quite an experience . . . . . . HAH! IT'S DONE! Editor — El Rodeo '57 Jim Luther Of no {her 1J. 31. creation 1 r Ai- r- « 1 NORTH CAFETERIA STAFF (left to right) Front Row: M. Gush- ing V.

Sp rinq football One of the best intersquod games in Cal Poly's history was held May 28 to conclude spring training this year. The Gold Team, coochcd by Tom Lee. Stan Sherrif, and Ale Brovo, beat the Green Team, directed by Sheldon Harden, Jerry Duncan, and Perry Jeter, by a score of 19 to 7. All the scoring was done in the second half. Next year's prospects look good, with nineteen letfermen returning for spring practice backed by fifteen new gridmen, and many reluming squadmen. As in the post, the Mustang backfield looks strongest, with lettermon quarter- back Bob Beathord being assisted by Dick Kapalolu who was sidelined last season because of a leg injury; John Ponagakis, Son Francisco City College transfer; and Dorsey Allison, up from lost year's frosh team. They ore backed by leftermen halfbacks Jim Antoine, Don Delgado, Bill Jones, Fred Ford, Don Adams, and Dave Proctor; fullbacks Dick Monnini and Walt Gurney; new backfield men Charles Ellis, Willis Hill, and Ivan Learned add depth. There are only two ends from lost year's squad—lew Gentry and Craig Brown Newcomers in this position will include Ron Taylor from San Francisco J.C., and Darwin McGill from Modesto J.C. In the tackle spots, the Green and Gold are led by lettermon Bruce Butterfield and squadmon Pot Lovell. Newcomers are 200-pound Don Nunes, and 220- pound Dave Schmidt. The guard positions are taken by veteran leftermen Willie Hudson and John Allen, Mathias Medrano, Jim Doyle, and Bob Moore; in the center slot.
