In June, 1912, Fresno State College ' s first senior class, two men and thirty women, presented the school with its first class gift — two small sequoia trees — and ex[ ressed belief that the proportion to which the school should grow would be as great as that of the grown sequoia. The trees, brought from Sonoma County by the parents of one of the first graduates, were planted near the Van Ness Avenue entrance of the Fresno Normal School cam- pus, later named the Fresno State Teachers College and today the Fresno City College campus. Today the sequoias ore enormous trees. The gradu- ating classes have also grown to great sizes. The class of 1912 numbered 32 and the class of 1961 numbers 1,300. This year marks the 50th commencement ex- ercises. Through the years many students have entered the doors of Fresno State College buildings. Many, for one reason or another, stayed for only a brief semester or two semesters. However, many were able and saw fit to remain all four years. It is these students who brought to their college honors, recognition and achievement. Each senior, in some small way, has added history to the college during these fifty years. Many are well known today in all fields of public service — local, state and national. Others have brought recognition to the college through their leadership, personal accomplish- ments and community service. It is these students who recognized the challenge a college education presents. Some graduated during war years, others during depression years and others, more recently, during the change from old campus to new campus. It is to these many alumni who call Fresno State College their Alma Mater that we dedicate this anniversary edition of the 1961 CAMPUS.
