e Dawn of the Golden Age ERICLES, IN THE BRIGHTEST DAYS GF HIS GOLDEN AGE HAD NOTHING ON Fresno State College and the bright outlook for its advance in the next five to ten years. In fact there is a striking similarity to this yearbook of 1950 and the 1917 Fresno State Normal School yearbook, The Prosjwct. Thirty-three years ago students, then quartered in what looked like surplus barracks of another war, eagerly awaited the opening of their brand new campus at Van Ness and University Avenues. The advance guard of the new day for FSC seems to have already arrived. The class of 1953 is the first to have started high school following the conclusion of the war. A new football coach has been imported from the University of Oklahoma, one of the powerhouse teams of the nation. New faculty, including a new president f also from the University of Oklahomaj, have been added recently to augment the staff. Land has been set aside and several millions of dollars appropriated for the construction of the new campus. Fraternities and sororities own land for their row of houses. The president already lives in his new home. Naturally, the transition to a new plant will be a long, tedious pull with plenty of setbacks, of which a few major ones have already been experienced. Our only regret: that we cannot be here to enjoy it personally. But other grads have suffered the same disappointments. Pity, for instance, the class of 1941. The new student union was opened in 1942. N THE FOLLOWING PAGES THE 1950 CAMPUS PRESENTS FIRST AND FORE- most a resume of the college year 1949-50. The staff has, at the same time, however, attempted to review the four years the senior class has been in attendance, and, on the division pages, the thirty-nine years the College has been in existence.
