I ATHLETIC EXPANSION QUT ' GY! , Y J. ...Lge i 1 A .- ROBERTS STADIUM View of field, bleachers, and light poles on 15th street side. Late in 193 5 , signatures were attached to a docuf ment that was the climax of a heartbreaking five' year struggle to obtain an athletic plant for the college. When Dr. Roberts and heirs to the Judson estate signed a lease, with option to buy at the end of five years, old Recreation Park became the athf letic home of the Gaters. It had formerly been the home of the San Francisco Seals baseball team. From the first, the park was beset by financial difliculty. The grounds were a veritable trash dump. Huge cement pillars embedded in the ground as bases for the former stadium had to be removed before actual work could be done on grading the field. A blow fell when it was learned that W. P. A. aid could not be used to Hnance work, because the plot was still unowned by State. The fighting spirit of Dean David J. Cox and resourcefulness of Leo C. Nee came to the rescue. In a flying trip to Sacramento, Mr. Nee obtained funds for preliminary work, and Dave Cox aroused the male portion of the student body into volunteer' ing for labor on the new field. Volunteers were reluctant at first, but when they caught the spirit, numbers increased. Fighting Dave's grim resolution to do the whole thing himself f By the Gods j if necessary, accomplished great results. Much credit SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Twentyfsixj TEN YEARS AGO . . . Deeply obligated to the State Board of Educaf tion is our college for the splendid leaders it has given us. First of these men to be called to the presidency of the then San Francisco State Normal was Dr. Frederic Burk. During his term of ofhce, from 1899 to 1925, Dr. Burk planned for an administration building and a separate building for the training school and gymnasium. When he died, plans for a new campus were under way. His educational achievement, started in our college, is now world' famous as the VV'innetka system of instruction. Archibald Anderson succeeded Dr. Burk, irst as acting president, and then as president. His brief term of office, only two years, was enough to see the groundfbreaking exercises for the science build' ing that now bears his name and completion of the gymnasium. The training school was progressing rapidly, and like his predecessor, Anderson foresaw a great college in a great metropolis. In June of 1927, death claimed him, and for three months, Dean Mary A. Ward served as acting president. Then, on the first day of September, 1927, Dr. Alexander Crippen Roberts came to be our presif dent. Graduate of Wisconsin and Washington Uni' versities, Dr. Roberts typiies the pioneer spirit of the West in his progressiveness. He helped dedicate Anderson Hall of Science and Frederic Burk Training School. With this accomplished, Dr. Roberts secured for this college additional credentials and curricula. Then, after five years of effort, Recreation Park was obtained as an athletic plant. To crown his achievements, the Student Body in 1936 named their new athletic field Roberts Sta' dium, after our president. Dreams of State as a metropolitan college in the heart of our great city are rapidly nearing realizaf tion. When our needs are met, let us try to lift the veil of the past and remember those whose leader' ship has made State the growing college of today. Today we salute, not only the tenth anniversary of Dr. Roberts' appointment, but also the vision and genius of his two predecessors, Presidents Frederic Burk and Archibald Anderson. fBy Elsa Magnusl FREDERIC BURK iARCHIBALD ANDERSON ALEXANDER ROBERTS First president of State, from Succeeded Dr.Burk and served In his tenth year as president 1899 to 1925. f'f0m 1925 Until his death in of the college.

At the end of May, the student body generously donated 251500 to install modern lighting equipment for night football. An installation of this kind was known to stimulate revenue from other schools lacking such facilities. The college, however, would have to wait for this form of income until the ground belonged to State. By fall, Roberts Field was covered with a beau' tiful green coat of grass and stands had been erected for coming games. A wall twelve feet in height completely surrounded the grounds. N. Y.

Previous to the game, appropriate ceremonies had been staged. Today, San Francisco State looks forward to the complete athletic plan of its original dream. Nearly two hundred thousands are needed to realize this glorious vision, this amount is included in the build' ing campaign appropriation bill.

Starting in a small building on Powell and Clay streets, and expanding into two square blocks of ground, the story of the growth of San Francisco State College is one reflecting the spirit of progress and growth that has characterized the institution since its inception. Originally, the campus of the Normal School, forerunner of the present institution, was located on Powell and Clay streets in a small church. This campus flourished with an average yearly attend' ance of about two hundred girls. Came the disastrous 1906 earthquake, and with it destruction of the church that housed the Normal School. In one of the more outlying districts of the now great metropolitan city, was found a new location. The site of the present campus was purchased in 1908. Gradually, through the generosity of the State Legislature, the campus was enlarged and expanded. First came Anderson Hall in the early 192O's. Then came the day when the church was torn down to be replaced by a library building, and at the same time, a gymnasium was placed near the center of the campus. At this time, the Legislature decided to change the Normal Schools into State Teachers' Colleges. Consequently thelFrederic Burk Training School was built, and the old training school was changed to an administration building, our College Hall. Years went by with little change to the campus until 1934. At this time, shortage of classroom space became acute. Legislators voted to build tem' porary buildings on the campus to serve as class' rooms until such time as the state could finance additional buildings. These shacks are known as Annexes A and B. Once again, the Legislature acted and changed to State Colleges. As this change took place, an addition was made to the science building, a two' story annex to Anderson Hall. So the campus stands today, dependent on the State Legislature once again to gain new accom' modations for its everfincreasing student body. It stands as a symbol of progress-a small church to a metropolitan college. fCliif Worth.j SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Twentyfeightl THAT UNION IDEA Early in the Spring of 1936 the first tenuous framework of an ambitious student body dream was founded and the plans laid for carrying it to realizaf tion. Dr. Lawrence L. Kinnaird, a member of the social science department and a strong ally of any student effort at expression gathered several stu' dent leaders together for a conference. Gut of this momentous meeting came concrete plans for a Stuf dent Union campaign to be carried on by editors of the Golden Gater. In the campaign that followed, all ramihcations connected with such a union were brought out. The central idea was to provide a headquarters, either on or off the campus, where all students of both sexes might meet socially for informal relaxaf tion and conversation. It was planned also to use the Union House as a convening point for the colf lege clubs and organizations. After the news was broken to the student body at large, the idea caught on with considerable force. ln a very short time all leaders of the undergraduate men and women, as well as outstanding personalities of the faculty, were behind the move. All seemed clear for an early realization of the goal of a Student Union House. Qpposition, unplanned and unexpected came in the form of financial difficulty. There was a per' sistent demand from the athletic department for a larger allowance from the student budget so the athletes of the school might be better equipped and provided for during the football, basketball, and baseball seasons. Roberts Field had just been leased and there was strong insistence that this project be stimulated by a large loan from the student body funds to complete certain details of construction on the lighting equipment and seating arrangements. The Golden Gater intensified its drive for the establishment of a Student Union. Editors of the paper talked with officials of the student body and the faculty. Eventually the time came around to consider the budget for the coming fiscal year. After much discussion it was decided to allow for the union and set aside 75 cents each semester to build up a fund for the eventual purchase of a building to house the quarters planned for in the original camf paign. It was decided to allow funds to accrue over a period of several years, and when a substantial fund had been accumulated, purchase a building or build a house to specifications on an acquired plot of ground. lt was not until the Publications Dinner at the close of the semester that the name Kinnaird Union was attached to the idea in tribute to Dr. Lawrence Kinnaird whose conception it was. fWilliam I.

THE1937 FRANCISCAN fPage 'Twentyfninej I VETERAN FACULTY Oldest in point of service, yet young in ideas is Effie McFadden, on State's faculty over three dec' ades. A strong believer in the younger generation, though they don't study as much as we did, Miss McFadden's pet peeve is to have to lecture to a flock of gum chewers. This year marks the thirtieth year of service on State's faculty for Dean Mary A. Ward. Her chief interest in life is people, young or old -that's why she is eternally talking, listening, or aiding someone. From the third grade on, she wanted to be a teacher, aimed for this faculty and made good. She emphasizes that the younger generation 'Lknow where they are going, and are more tolerant. Focal point of the college is the Registrar's office, directed by that atom of energy, Florence Vance. She's been at State since 1910, graduating when State was Normal! Wanted to be a teacher, but landed an administrative job. To take her mind off those adjustment problems, she reads in bed, her only bad habit. One year after Miss Vance, Alexander Boulf ware was invited to join the faculty. State then received a man of many interests-a few being mathematics, languages, people, horticulture, fish' ing, and gardening. He raises prizefwinning flowers in his gardens, and practices plant propagation at every opportunity. Not to make this a fish story, but his favorite food is from the sea, while his pet peeves are crooners and blues singers fcheck?j . Come home and get to work. With this invitaf tion UD, Clara Crumpton started at State twenty' two years ago. She also is interested in gardening, but her first hobby is directing student teachers along the right path. Fine sense of proportion, as witness this Crumpton quote in class: Let someone else gush . . With only thirteen years at State, Dean Valenf tine is the youngest of our veterans in service. He was appointed from Fresno State. Another sense of humor and understanding personality-his faf vorite outdoor sport is Commuting and favorite indoor sport, Getting ready to commute! P. F. hates redfbaiting, likes detective stories and travel and is always affected by spring fever. fWritten by Kathleen Buckleyj l. Effie McFadden, 2. Florence Vance, 3. Alexander Boulf ware, 4.

SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE I fPage Thirtyl NEW RECRUITS Two years plus on our faculty have earned Alma Downey the position of the longest service of our new recruits. After seeing her beautiful hand' writing, one knows that she practices what she teaches. She is now working for her master's degree at Stanford fnote how prominent Stanford grads are on our facultyj. Formerly received her A.B. from State as an honor student. After her job as placement secretary, her main interest is in her daughter. We're prejudiced when we discuss George Gibf son, with his student interest, sense of humor, and Hne reality. He and Dr. Kinnaird are utopsn in our mind. Favorite hobby is dancing and snapping Leica candid camera shots Takes a mean cut at the American apple Qwitness the baseball game on Prexy Day, . Now working on doctorate at Cal, but finds time to advise journalists, give lectures, and drive to Los Angeles in SVZ hours every other week. Another future Ph.D. is Hugh Baker, working on his Stanford thesis, Intellectual Interests in California in 1849 Childhood ambition was to be a doctor, so nearly has succeeded. Collects phonof graph records and pictures as a hobby, Newest of the librarians is Charlotte Folsom, graduate of U. C. L. A. and Berkeley. Favorite hobby is tucking in hairpinsf' Evidently an out' door girl, with sports of hiking, swimming, riding, and pingfpong. Sense of humor, too: Don't ask me to expand on this subject, l'm trying to reduce! First of the new science instructors is Yvonne Champreux.

TI-lE1937FRANCISCAN I:Page Thirty-onel O LOOKING FORWARD As the FRAN CISCAN goes to press, the fate of San Francisco State's building campaign is still being weighed in the balance. Cur bill, requesting an appropriation of 52,380,000 for rebuilding the col' lege campus, is being considered by the Ways and Means Committee of the State Assembly. fRay Williamson, San Francisco assemblyman, assured us that the entire local delegation will support the bill.j We are hopeful, but not passively so. Continued agitation for what we feel to be the State's obligaf tion to us will continue until our demands are met. Dr. Alexander Roberts, president of State, aided by a carefully selected strategy committee of Will J. Smith, Bd Cockrum, Bud Decker, and Howard Demeke, is bending every effort toward immediate adoption of this measure. Individual students, too, have been given oportunity to bring pressure to bear by means of mailing cards to their representatives at Sacramento. We have labeled ourselves California's abanf doned child and rightly so. The records of Calif PRESIDENT ROBER1-s Points to plans for future expansion of State campus. fornia's expenditures for collegiate institutions bears us out in this statement. Cver a period of eight years, from 1927 to 1935, we have received some fB2'70,000 from the state. Our enrollment is approximately 15 00. Contrast our treatment with that of Humboldt State which, with a student body of slightly over 300, has ref ceived S3 36,000 in the same period of time. Fresno received 3S575,000g San Diego approximately iB791,000g Santa Barbara was granted S484,341g while San Jose State was given S737,232. Meanwhile, plans for expansion of this campus are taking place. A fourfstory Administration Building is to replace State's timefhonored, but sadly antiquated College Hall. Administration off lices, a Student Union for social activities, Student Body oilice, a large student CofCp, and approxif mately twentyfflve classrooms are to be located in this building. Annex A will likewise give way to a large rec' tangular building of two stories which, facing on Buchanan Street, will contain offices. A new library will be installed in the building now used as the Women's Gym, which, with the science building, will be substantially enlarged. Among other changes and new buildings planned are an openfair amphitheatre, a new music building, and a Little Theatre, which will seat 400. The present kindergarten will be moved north and, replacing it, will be a health center near which a training school will be installed. We have reason to believe that San Francisco State's building campaign may at last be realized. If authorized by the Legislature, at least a sizable portion of the amount requested should be forth' coming in July, the beginning of the next fiscal year. fDoris MacDonald.j SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Thirtyftwoil NBQQKTWQ CLASSES pi, .. .-.Y-1. .

Coming into office with a deficit in the budget of over 5400, the Executive Board of the past year proudly leaves office with a balanced budget. Thus, besides having administered one of the most active years in State history, the Board leaves the oihcers of next year a clean financial slate. Headed by the able leadership of President Edward Cockrum, studentfelected ofhcers were: Ruth Poulsen, vicefpresidentg Marian Irwin, secref tary, Daryl Hopkins, treasurer, George Mirande, athletic manager, Clarice Dechent, board of pub' licationsg and Bud Decker, yell leader. Inaugurating a new policy of direct board control over all State social functions, the Executive Board was amply rewarded by satisfying results. All four major dances showed clear profits, with the Junior Prom clearing 35165 to establish an allftime financial record. As a result of central control of the social calendar, not one club or student body activity was voted anything but a success. The policy of the present Board was to carry student government as far as possible. As President Cockrum said, For the past year, the Executive Board as a unit has strived to maintain a central government within the student body of State, where student problems could be thrashed out in student hands. The spirit displayed by the Board has been instrumental in placing State in a position where the college can challenge any college on the coast as to efficient administration. Among the most notable achievements of the Board was floating of the two million dollar build' ing campaign bill to adequately house San Francisco State. It may be said that members of the Executive Board fostered as their direct philosophy the wish to ably represent the associations, clubs and classes, from which they were sent all matters and problems pertaining to student life.

NOTE: In the class sections, divisions have been made with reference to the graduates. Thus all other classes, as they now stand, will find themselves here moved back a half year in status. So there are two low freshman classes represented on these pages. At the beginning of the spring semester, 1937, two hundred and twentyftwo new students entered State to assume the name of Low Freshmen fand were they lowlj. During the first two weeks of the semester, these unfortunate creatures entertained upper classmen in initiation ceremonies and obeyed their ten commandments or else .... They finally lost the semifannual brawl to the upper classmen after a long hardffought battle. This scramble and the dance following it marked the ofhcial end of their hazing. ' After initiation into college life had been com' pleted, the class met to elect their officers and chose George Peters as their president. Other officers elected by the neophytes were: Frances Chichester, vicefpresident, Bill Preston, treasurer, Alex Stchelof koff, boys' representative, and Carolyn Searles, girls' representative. Now members of this class have really started to Ht into State activities under the leadership of Peters. Their first big piece of work was cofsponsorf ship of the Frosh Hop with the High Freshman class. Since their welcome, the interest of this class in student body affairs has been rapidly on the rise. The fall of 1936 had previously seen over two hundred freshmen enthusiastically entering State. Somewhat bewildered by the large and numerous buildings QEd. notezlllj and the prospects of the future fsuch as English A, aptitude, hazing, JANUARY '41: Row ONE: Saum, Weyman, Record, Schubert, Furgoli, Hickey, Mcagles, Werst, Row TWO: Peters, Sigerszm, Packinghorn, Ward, Krause, Preston, DePbillips, Cumming, Stcbelokoff. etc.j , the newcomers quickly became accustomed to college life. Firstly they chose Bill Ferem as president, Marge Kearney, vicefpresident, Grace Gustafson, secref tary, and Dick Quarg, treasurer. Then came the brawl and initiation . . . Both the girls and boys showed excellent sportsmanship and cooperation in making this a success. Even though they did lose the brawl, the frosh did have an excep' tionally fine turn out. As they became acquainted, the yearlings en' tered into various activities. From this class, twenty' three varsity footballers turned out to make names for themselves and fame for State. Firstfstring men included: Bill Ferem, center, Bill Abbey, quarter' back, Dick Quarg, end, and Billy Hammond, halff back. All will return next year to make a bigger and better State squad. Curt 'Zahn and Bill Rowlands acted as managers. Other athletes and their activities included Bill Hammond, forward on the basketball team, Ken Iohnson, guard on the varsity casaba squad, and SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE IfPage Fortytwoil Dewey Allread and Bill Rowlands on the junior varsity basketball team. The girls also aided the school by participation in rally or play programs, and figured in most of the major entertainments of the year. Among these per' formers were: Rita Sadler, Sarita Ganedo, IvafBeth Gain, and Oliver Paccini. These girls were also on the KYA radio program, Varsity V arietiesf' The big social event of the class was its dinner' dance held at My Rendezvous. Bob Sweeney was the efficient toastmaster and introduced the new class sponsor, Hal Harden. Mr. Harden expressed his pleasure at being elected to the office and his desire for the success of the class in its future en' deavors. Arrangements for the affair were success' fully dealt with by Bill Abbey. Before the Christmas holidays, class members, under the direction of lvfarge Kearney, sold State calendars for the benefit of the FRANCISCAN. This amount aided in partially offsetting the expenses of the annual. In the spring, the class started off its peppy ses' sion by arranging the Frosh Hop with the low frosh then entering State. This dance was held in the Palace Hotel during the middle of March. It was the Hrst major social event of the semester and the first offfcampus dance sponsored by the frosh. Bill Ferem and George Peters, presidents of the classes, were cofchairmen, assisted by a large committee. The gracious hostess of the affair was Grace Gustafson. Novelty paddle programs of purple cellophane were favors at the door. Again, financially and socially, the frosh put over their dance as a huge success. The class dinner dance given each semester was held the first part of April under the chairmanship of Bill Rowlands. The class of january, '40, following a rather inf active term under the leadership of Marshall Blum as president, elected new class officers in the early part of the spring semester. Aiding Morley Garrothers, the new president, are Gwen Smith, vicefpresidentg Lee Scarlett, secretaryftreasurer, and Peggy Clifford, A. W. S. representative. The first activity of the class was the Low Soph Shuffle, held in the gym in the last part of March. Financially and socially, this was a great success, as witness the opinions of those who attended and of those who checked the accounts. A class dinner was held during the early part of May at a downtown restaurant, and plans for a Searsville picnic during the last part of May were being discussed as the annual went to press. This group has planned for more meetings and getftogethers to foster class spirit, and are working hard to revive their pep. So we give you the class of 1940 and part of 1941, the future leaders of State college life now finding their place in its activities. fBy Eunice Catletrj gfgjff T H E 1 9 3 7 F B A N fPage Fonyfthreej C I JANUARY, '4O: ROW ONE: Carrothers, Clifford, Smith, Chandler, Row Two: Sigrand, Douglass, Blum, Pearlman, ' .Sandee11. O SASSY SOPHS Some strategic signs succeeded, somehow, so Frank Muldoon successfully supervised sixtyfsix sophs, skillfully securing support. P. S., he sucf ceeded in being chosen president of the class of May, '39 and reigned fhail, hail!J in that office for the past year. Cn the other hand, in the January, '39 section of the class, Shirlie Senk turned out to be a workf ing president who stirred up considerable comment by having her proxy actually run the class and atf tend Exec Board meetings. Finally, when the class became juniors in the spring of '37, Roy Laugesen took over the burdens of the office. We're still trying to find out who the officers were under Shirlie Senk, but have only dug up the fact that she became president when Daryl Hopkins resigned to become treasurer of the student body. Talk about spirit! Fifteen members of the class, which numbered close to one hundred, turned out to vote Laugesen into office. Officers selected to help him do the impossible farouse the classj were: Ruth Bradley, vicefpresident, Gladys Ketterin, A. W. S. representative. Now you tell us the soluf tion to this one: ln the race for secretaryftreasf urer, Betty Brown tied Sylvia Sadler, yet in the runfoff, J. Wallace Gallagher was elected! Well, Roy Laugesen of the large smile and feet has really tried to drag the bunch out of the mire into a fairly active social season. He appointed an entertainment committee to work with the officers in planning social events, and chose the following: Herb Vecki, Ruth Bradley, W. J. J. Smith, Carola Beetz, and J. Wallace Gallagher. Present plans of the group call for a swimming party to be held on the 5 th of May in the Fairmont Plunge. First of the blowfouts under Laugesen was the Low Junior Getftogether, held in the Activities - i, Room. Helen Cox, Herb Vecki, and Harold Cuz Jacobs disturbed the peace. The former two sang, while Jake gave his usual repertoire of imitations. Following the entertainment, refreshments were served. It took several weeks for the class to recuperate after this strenuous effort, so it will be some time before Roy can pull the above swimming party. Thus far, this is the only function planned for in the future, mainly because the school work takes too much energy and time to allow the class to actually hold a meeting. Well, we hope they do something when they're juniors, just so the next annual doesn't have the same trouble we had in collecting material. lt's a welcome relief to read about the high sophs, because they did something. Muldoon did so many things that the class wanted to give him a Croix de Guerre, but the Third Street merchants were fresh out of the supply, so they gave him a dinky gavel. Now this gavel has a history. It represents the successful social season that the high sophs put on MAY, '39 OFFICERS: Gallagher, Ketterlin, Bradley, Laugesen. SAN FRANCISCC STATE COLLEGE fPagc Fortyffoud last semester. It has unwritten words inscribed on what is left of the handle. These tell of the Soph Strut, Soph Picnic, Supper Dance, and several social meetings. Going further into this tacit tale of the unspeakf ing for unspeakablej gavel, we find that the Soph Strut was held at the Devonshire Country Club down Belmont way. There was stiff opposition to the choice of locale, but Frank assuaged many of the boys regarding the long journey by arranging transportation through the novel ride bureau of his. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Freeburg, and Dr. and Mrs. William Knuth of the music department Knuths were there to keep the lasses and laddies all in their very best behavior. The tots danced to the tunes of Al Lamonet's orchestra, admired the conservaf tive black and orange Hallowe'en motif, and guzf zled soft drinks and sandwiches. Rumor hath it that the class made seventyffive bucks on the affair. In charge of the Soph Strut committee was Ann Lundquist, assisted by Lew Morris, in charge of printing and placements, and Vernon Rees, in charge of tickets. Now, you see that little scratch there, near the end of the handle? Well, that isn't a scratch: it's a hieroglyphic. Translated, it means that the rest of the class officers assisting the Mad Muldoon were: Ann Lundquist, vicefpresidentg Madeline Ghiglione, secretary, Jack Hulbert, treasurer, and Lorraine Arata, A. W. S. representative. After the class got through throwing the Strut, they started in on the Soph Nite Picnic. This glorf ious affair is forever handed down to posterity by the first of the grooves just above the handle. Squired by Lauren Post, the kiddies celebrated at Sigmund Stern Grove. jack Hulbert, chairman of the committee, assisted Prexy Muldoon in planning the affair. IANUARY, '39: Row ONE: Geirizer, Anders, Towle, Ghigliorle, Muldoon, Lundquist, Hulbert, Soldavinog ROW TWO: Porterero, Stadelman, Bailey, Hoxie, Hubert, Car' ringtori, London, Glasgow, Taylor, Arata, Barusch, Dawson, Murphy. But enough of this stuff ! That gavel couldn't possibly have all of that unwritten on it. Perhaps all of this story is just so much phantasmagorical hallucination on the part of the writer. Mebee there wasn't even a gavel! Now, having definitely stopped this phenomenal flow of drivel, on to continue the tale of the doing of the high sophs. On January 9, they held a semi' formal Supper Dance at the Forest Hill Club House. Food for the revelers was sent in by caterers, and Muldoon says, It sure was a honey of a dance. fOr was it a honey at the dance?D Mr. and Mrs. Cowell jointly sponsored the evening's festivities. I And so ends the chronicle of the doings of the sophomores. Their plans for the future include another dinner dance and perhaps another party at the Sigmund Stern. Anyway, they have some' thing planned for the future. lf anyone has successfully come this far in this masterpiece of journalistic endeavor, they might as well stop, because this is the end. QBy Cliff Worth, additions, R. BQ THEIQ37 FRANCISCAN lfPage Fortyfflvej O AND THE IUNIORS . . . Of course, the junior Prom last November was THE outstanding activity of the class of '38, but the third year people accomplished and have planned much more than that. As one of the most active classes in the school, the two divisions comf bined to make this year's activities outnumber and outshine those of all other classes except the graduates. But then next year, when their time comes, they will be unexcelledl Coming into oilice in the beginning of the cur' rent year was Edvina Cahill, president of the high juniors. Cther oflicers chosen to make the class outstanding were: Blanche Tovey, vicefpresident, and Rita johnson, secretaryftreasurer. Then, when the class officially became low seniors in the spring of '37, another election chose Cyril Atkinson as president. His assistants were: Helena Rowan, vicefpresident, Mary McWilliams, sec' JANUARY, '38: ROW CNE: Clegliom, Qvuavtararo, Atkinf son, Oswill, Delma, ROW TWO: Twomey, Cahill, Btwtcllaell, Rands, ROW THREE: Widney, Earle.

Smith, Drisf coll, Will Smith, Pechacek, Godfrey, johnson. retaryftreasurerg and Marie Quartararo, A. W. S. representative. On the other hand, Howard Demeke was presif dent of the low junior class for the entire year. Assisting him in subordinate offices were: Pauline Quirk, vicefpresidentg Mary Snell, secretary, and Everett Parrish, treasurer. In the fall of '36, the high junior class put on a doughnut sale, which was one of the features of the social season according to earliest reports. Valeska Dougherty was chairman of sales, while salesmen assistants were: Blanche Tovey, Marie Quartararo, Kay Faulkner, and Hal Delma. Money gained from this venture was used to bolster up the class treasury and for financing social events. THEN came the Prom. Cn November 21 fmark the datej, in the St. Francis Hotel, the juniors put on a dance that actually made money fa very unusual procedure SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Fortyfsixl around here, to say the leastj, and S130 profit at that. Bids were sold out by two o'clock of the previous day, when the number was stopped at 300. Part of the credit for this amazing success goes to the StanfordfCal. Big Game held the same day, and calling for celebration and what not. The rest goes to Will Smith, publicity chairman, who literally painted the school and paper with stories on the magnificence of the affair. Pauline Quirk, chairman of the dance committee and hostess of the affair, was aided by the following chairmen: Everett Parrish, tickets, Bud Decker, orchestra, Dawn Wilson and Cliff Worth, decoraf tions, and Rose Marie Haas and Shirlie Canning as cofchairmen of bids committee. Harry McDevitt secured the ballroom and was generalfman of all work. The Colonial Ballroom was crashfproof on the night of the affair, as the collegians pranced to the tunes of Gary Evers' orchestra, though a few extra couples were allowed to enter at an increased price over the original. To say it was successful, en' joyable, and outstanding is to put it mildly. Then the high juniors went exclusive. With Valeska Dougherty as chairman, the wouldfbe seniors held their Christmas party in the Activities Room. A Christmas tree and everything, including a very energetic Santa Claus, Hal Monk Delma, who supposedly made his entrance down the chimney of College Hall fdid he get the flue??j. Assisting committee heads putting on the party were: Helena Rowan, refreshments, with Hal Widney, Virginia Deeney, and Betty Burr, Marie Quartararo, decorations, with Peggy Cleghorn, Blanche Tovey, Hal Widney, Beth Gray, Elaine Twomey, Betty Lonkey, and Cy Atkinson. Enter' tainment was headed by Edith White, with Hal Delma, Blanche Tuggy, Jim Seright, Edythe Stoner, Ruth Hutchinson, Rita Johnson, and Jenny Buffa assisting. Val Dougherty had charge of presents. Under Cy Atkinson, the class has had a system of dinner meetings, in which the class pays half the cost and members pay the remainder. With Miss Benteen as adviser, the class is planning a cultural tour of the city as a feature of one of their meetings. Final activity of the low juniors Cnow high juniorsj was the annual dinner dance held at the Hotel Cecil penthouse. Joe Rosen's orchestra furnished the tunes and seven acts of entertainment put on a floor show. Good eats, fine dancing, en' joyable evening, all for 50 cents to class members. Now the class looks forward to its senior year, in the belief that it can make next year THE out' standing one, as senior terms go. With its rapidly increasing spirit, the class of '38 is headed for big things. fBy Mary Louis Godfreyj JUNIOR DINNER DANCE At the Hotel Cecil Penthouse, we find Bud Decker fwithout Auclreyll Demeke and Ethel Bennett, Sybil Hurning fof the S.

TI-lEl937 FRANCISCAN fPage Fortyfsevenil I THE CLASS OF '37 Socially active, scholastically outstanding, and loyal in participation in school affairs, the graduf ating seniors this year have set a mark which may well be the goal of coming students. And, having given generously of their time and interest, these Staters leave the campus life of the college with regret, but also with the feeling that their college years have been enriched and benefitted directly in proportion to the amount they have given. Early in the fall, the class of January, '37 selected for its president, John Goodwin, who, in collaboraf tion with DorothyfJean White, vicefpresident, Margaret Nwea, secretary, and Mary Tavolara, A. W. S. representative, led the class in a full prof gram of work and play. Ranking as one of the most successful affairs of the year, the Senior Dinner Dance was held at the Lake Merritt Hotel in Gakland. Many of the stuf dents who attended this dance used it as an opporf tunity to make their first trip across the newly completed Bay Bridge. Gther social activities included three senior sup' per meetings held in the Gofop. A farewell luncheon held in the Cofop marked the close of the semester's activities for the January class, which returns in May to officially graduate with members of the spring group. Accomplishments of the senior class worthy of note included the sponsoring of special preparatory classes to coach seniors and A.B.'s for the city examif nations. The gift presented to the college by the class was a boxing ring for the gymnasium. When George Teale, fall leader of the May, '37 class left State, Barbara Smith, vicefpresident, took over the post of president and Stan Sieber was chosen vicefpresident. Gther officers who contrib' uted to the success of the senior year were: Dolores Waters, secretary, Navarre Baggett, treasurer, and Nora Dunleavy, A. W. S. representative. The spirit of friendly cooperation in this class was intensified by the bifweekly meetings in the Activities Room. At these meetings, Mrs. Downey discussed problems of placement, and graduation plans were completed. Simple refreshments were served at each meeting under the direction of Gay Lonergan, Marie Louise Benson, Edith Mason, Dolores Harris, Josephine Tonge, and Renee Priester. Ruth Rechter, chairman of the Senior Week committee, together with Mary Margaret Scobey, Mary Rice, Genevieve Murphy, Louise Parodi, Al Shepherd, and Josephine Tonge, have been in charge of preparations of activities and of graduaf tion exercises. The Senior Ball is scheduled for May 15 th at the Fairmont Hotel.

Senior Week will begin with an Alumni Tea held on Sunday, May 23 at the Fairmont and will be followed by a full calendar of events. Class mem' bers will air their suppressed desires at an informal party on the following night in Frederic Burk Audi' torium. The Faculty Tea is planned for Tuesday afternoon, also in the Auditorium, while a senior picnic will occupy Wednesday. Thursday will be a full day for the graduates, beginning with a pilgrimage to be held at five campus localities in the morning. The procession of seniors will be accompanied by members of the Dean's Committee and faculty members, who will be escorted by students. The group will first visit the science department, where they will be addressed indie ate the year of their gmdutztion. by Mr. Carlos Mundt. He will recall those ideas which the department has imparted to the students and will be answered by a graduate. Talks by mem' bers of the physical education, kindergarten, and education departments will receive answers from Lorraine Lindeberg, Harriet White, and Alice Masini respectively. The final meeting place of the pilgrimage will be the office of Dr. Roberts and will represent the administration of the college. Here the reply will be made by Marian Irwin. This event will be followed by a senior luncheon scheduled for the Stewart Hotel, and graduation rehearsal will occupy the afternoon. Climaxing the activities of the week and indeed of the entire year will be graduation from the War Memorial Opera House on Friday, May 28. Beverly Lyon, January, and Paul Donaldson, May, will be valedictorians on this occasion. fWritten by Helen Eichelbergerj fPage Forty nincfl RUTH ACTY OAKLAND JANUARY Elementary-Carollersq International Relationsg Epsilon Mu.

While this is indeed an exaggeration, it is true that enough pleasurable happenings have occurred duringithe past year to fill most any student's spare moments. Staters like variety in their social life, and with a glance at the parade of past events, one may see a record of versatility in cultural enterprise. We've had everything from roller skating parties, hikes, masquerades, weenie roasts, and plain shin' digs to dignihed receptions, impressive testimonials, glamorous dawnces and stufffshirted feeds. EX' planation- Staters are democratic and versatile. They play as hard as they work and possibly harder. Not only have activities on the campus shown remarkable success socially speaking, but financially as well. The death of the depression, plus the new policy of holding but four major dances per year have given Mr. Nee, our money man, plenty of extra work. Heading the social calendar during the early fall was the Soph Strut at the Devonshire Country Club. Sponsored by an enterprising class and preceded by noticeable worrying on the part of class officers and committee members, the affair was a delightful sucf cess. Plenty of good music, people, and the old grads were in evidence. A few weeks later, the juniors came forth with an innovation, as junior Proms go. Theirs was in the way of a Big Came shuffle on the night of the Bearflndian classic. The dance was held in the beau' tiful Colonial Room of the St. Francis Hotel and was a near sensation. While Cal and Cardinal studs were crushing each other in a nearby room at five dollars a copy, naive Staters were swaying to melodic strains at ten bits per stag and drag. Quite Faosn Hop The Cold Room of the Palace Hotel was the scene. Virginia Kyriazi urider the chandelier. Dick Hurst on the right.

No, Timothy O'Shay, the corridor cutfup was not there. They cleared more than three times as much as any previous class on a dance. Now they're talking about giving a real struggle this fall-they'll probably have one instead. Anyway their last dance went under the wire with plenty to spare in merriment and shekels. The Frosh Hop at the Palace outfrates any other major social thus far during the current semester fthe Senior Ball's a'coming yetlj The High Frosh Q Bill Lounge Lion F erem and Company, y'knowj being very philanthropic, made all the arrangef ments, inasmuch as the lowly ones were late with their class elections fso 'tis saidj.

Incidentally -lack Martin fVicki Regier's banjo artistj played in the band. Lest we forget, there were also an avalanche of phony en' gagements announced on this eve, which gave the young cofeds something to think and talk about, apart from the norm. Yes, it was a delightful evef ning, though costly to a couple of unfortunate chaps, ever so costly. Speaking of the more staid events of the year, the freshman receptions in both the fall and spring were expertly planned and in such good taste. Departing from the former millfrun technique, the late froshf faculty meetings had an air of informality which did away with the cruel superfdignity of past gathf erings of the same name. George Teale Know in Baltimore preparing to say 'LI do D and Dottyfjean White deserve praise for the manner in which they directed their respective committees. The results of their efforts-plenty of flowers, and refreshments, a pleased administration and faculty, and two crops of happy wellforiented frosh.

SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Seventyffourj DECENNIAL DINNER Mundt grins at our audacity, Barney looks indignant, Valentine blase, Gibson bored, Pedler interested. Mrs. Ellswortlz eyes Gibson, who eyes camera, wliicli catches Elsa Magnus snatching a look. Otbersr Piclqard, Stephenson, Rowe, Reid, Mrs, Nee, Benteen, Ted Ellsworth Kwith headacliell, and backs of Boulware and Brown, has been giving some worthwhile teas at noon or in the late afternoon during the past semester-very elevating conversation and entertainment and broadening cookies! During last fall, it occurred to some one that it might be a wise move to invite our prominent citif zens and legislators to be with us when we honored Dr. Roberts on Presidents Day. Qur govern' ment is dehnitely related to our college, it seems fit furnishes buildings, salaries, paint, hrehoses, and the likeb. The idea of a doubly significant day of testimonial having been born, it was adopted and put into application. The result was a colorful spectacle right on the campus. With the aid of nearly twenty splendid sub' committees, the general committee was able to sucf cessfully honor Dr. Roberts and entertain the dis' tinguished visitors. Nearly a thousand students and profs stayed for the entire fourfhour program, which included a tour of the campus fsignihcant, we hopej , a mammoth luncheon in the gym, an exhibif tion of athletic prowess by Ru Stone and Daryl Hopkins, capers by the tumbling yell leaders, a base' ball game between faculty and visitors, and the impressive testimonial and assembly as the final unit in the day's sequence of events. It was a big underf taking, considering our limited facilities, but it was well worth the time and effort so generously given by the many students who helped make it a success. Not to be outdone by students, the faculty paid tribute to Dr. Roberts with a testimonial dinner on April first at the Western Women's Club. Many distinguished persons from the educational, politif cal, and industrial worlds, and State students joined profs in honoring prexy. Dr. Barney was an excel' lent toastmistress. Highlights along the entertainment front were the Block S boxing show, Phi Lambda Chfs Cirf cus, and Alpha Phi Gamma's two money raising scholarship endeavors, Chicken's Ball and Inter collegiate World's Fair. Many other minor get' togethers included the Low Soph party, High Junior Dinner Dance, A. M. S. Tag Dance, and what not. Suflice it then to say, State need doff its hat to no institution when it comes to quality and quantity of social splurge. fBy Howard Demekel Tl-lEl937 FRANCISCAN O fPage Seventyffiveil I DRAMATISTS The fall of 1936 ushered in a new era for College Theatre. All speech majors and minors automatif cally became members of this growing organization. This change permitted a much larger and more interested contingent to participate in College Theatre activities. Nonfspeech students were still given the privilege of trying out for productions. Bearing in mind the excellent plays produced in the past, Miss Jessie Casebolt chose Mitchell and Steele's Broadway success, Post Road, a comedy interspersed with farce and mystery. It was pref sented once at Humboldt State and a second time at the San Francisco Community Playhouse. Takf ing the part of George Preble, the henfpecked husf band, George Archambeault turned in an excellent performance. Although his initial role in a College Theatre production, Archambeault's portrayal and laugh provoking mannerisms were high lights. Ca' rola Beetz as Emily Madison kept the audience in hysterics with her centuryfold concepts of modern living. Clem Zannini as Reverend Cartwright excellently carried the difficult part of the crooked and whimsical preacher. COLLEGE THEATRE MacNamara, Prather, Beetz, Canedo, Gallagher, Casebolt, McGowan. When the third Annual Play Festival took place at Humboldt, the northerners gave their version of See Naples and Die. This fall, Humboldt will send down a cast for another play to be staged in our Little Theatre. Despite small enrollment, Hum' boldt State's College Theatre, under Carif Bell Wilson, always presents outstanding plays, and yearly exchange visits have created a closer under' standing with our rival college. Post Road was the only play staged during the fall. Commencing rehearsal during Christmas vacaf tion, a new cast began work on the farce, The Whole Town's Talking. Headed by J. W. Gal' lagher as Mr. Simmons, Sarita Canedo as Mrs. Simmons, and Herb Vecki as Chet Binney, College Theatre presented the farcical drama at Frederic Burk Auditorium. Vecki was outstanding in his performance of a blundering, misunderstood, girl' shy boy. He stole the show and had the audience constantly laughing. As the everfdevoted home' loving wife, Sarita Canedo turned in a capable performance, overdone in parts but nevertheless convincing. Leah Cheek as Lila Wilson and Virf ginia Cildea as Letty Lythe were the only two veterans in The Whole Town's Talking. W. Callagher's mannerisms and wild schemes contrib' uted much to the farce. Playing one of the minor roles as Sadie Bloom, the taxi dancer, Dorothy Person turned in the most laughfprovoking role of the play. Following this initial play, College Theatre asf sumed a new policy, that all future plays be pref sented in Little Theatre. Advantages of a smaller compact auditorium with excellent acoustics and absence of high rental fees necessitated the change. Another important change was made when Play Production classes took charge of stagecraft and makefup of players. SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Seventyfsixfl 1. Dramatists reading Daley 2.

The debating group conined its activities to the fall semester because of this handicap, caused by Mr. Kenneth King leaving State. Two highlights of the season were debates at Santa Barbara State and Pasadena. Jack Werchick and Bob Links, travelling in a style very unusual to State tauromachists-by train-made the Hrst trip. They upheld the affirmative of, Resolved: That Congress be empowered to fix maximum hours and minimum wages for industry. Participants in the Western Teachers of Speech Convention at Pasadena in November were Billy Rose and Erwin Bischoff . In a series of no decision debates, they met junior colleges of Long Beach, Pasadena, Glendale, and the California Institute of Technology. Represented by Werchick and Links, Delta Sigma also debated with the University of San Francisco, Santa Clara, and the University of California. The fifth semifannual High School Tournament, attracting a score or more of California schools, was its usual success. Under the leadership of President Werchick for the fourth time, the various schools debated on the subject, Resolved, That Congress shall legislate to impose automatic and mandatory embargoes against all belligerantsf' Ultimate ambition of the group naturally is mem' bership in the national honorary debating organ' ization, Pi Kappa Delta, but this will probably be postponed until the debating program is once more organized. One previous application was refused because of lack of suitable training facilities here, the platformers hope a second application will be accepted. Speaking on Opportunity in America Today at the Bay Counties Debate League Symf posium in March, Wallace Gallagher, representing State, was awarded third place. Under the leadership of Jack Werchick, president, Bob Links, vicefpresidentg and Billy Rose, treasurer, the society kept in the swim this year, Werchick, it was, who brought fame to State by winning the 1936 oratorical championship of the Pacific Northwest. Hopes for the future are JACK WERCHICK very bright, for Mr. Claude Delta Sigma New Shull will assume the position of debate coach starting next semester. Mr. Shull is dean of the Golden Gate Junior College, teaches at San Francisco Junior College, and is instructor in speech at State. Under his able tutelage, Delta Sigma and its personalities again hope to occupy the limelight. The spirit of the group is ably represented by Delta Sigma's Hery president, jack Werchick, Alf though the lack of a debate coach hampered us quite a bit, we have had quite a successful season, and hope in the future, with the aid of our new sponsor, Mr. Shull, to reach new heights in the annals of debating at State. We should also like to express our thanks to Dr. Theodore Treutlein for his valuable aid at such times as he was able to offer it. QBy Robert Linksj SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage Seventyfeiglzzj MUSIC FEDERATION The Music Federation is an organization of those students who have entered State to major or minor in the Held of music. It was organized over six years ago to enable the various musical groups on the campus to have one central group of leaders to govf ern the musical activities, conduct social events, and work for the general good of the music student, while he is connected with State. This organization has grown to be one of the largest and strongest on the campus, since it is repref sentative of nearly three hundred students. The past semesters have seen a growth not only in the spirit of the organization, but in its many social and business events. During the past year it has sponf sored several dances at one of the larger hotels, conf ducted many student concerts, arranged parties, and also entertained members of the various musical organizations which played for the music educators convention held in San Francisco early in 1937. Gustavus Smith was elected president for the fall semester, and in the spring, Leon Minear was chosen to lead the group. Fall oflicers included: Dolores SPRING FEDERATION OFFICERS ROW ONE: Goetzee, Altschulev, Patton, Salomeng ROW TWO: DePoister, Hanson, Zeclz, Chestnut, Mineav. DR. WILLIAM KN UTH Head of music department and adviser of musically inclined. Goetzee, vicefpresident, Constance James, secref tary, and Leon Minear, treasurer. For the spring semester, the elections chose: James Chesnut, vicef president, Eleanor Donaldson, secretary, and Carl' ton Hanson, treasurer. The representatives selected during the fall semesf ter were: Maxine Duiheld, A Cappella Choir, Carl' ton Hanson, String Quartette, James Chesnut, Madrigal Singers, Jane Callum, Carollers, Milton Bronstein, College Band, William Clinkenbeard, College Symphony, Joe Rosen, College Chorus, and Bee Zisser, Piano Ensemble. In the spring semester, the representatives chosen were: Hazel Patton, College Symphony, Irwin Ma' guire, College Band, Norman Zech, A Cappella Choir, Dolores Goetzee, String Quartette, Dorothy Altschuler, Piano Ensemble, Aimee Salomen, Col' lege Chorus, and Paul DePoister, Madrigal Singers. During the spring of 1937, a new constitution was installed by the Music Federation. This change was necessitated by the inadequacy of the old former one under changing conditions. The group has gradually shifted in its duties and has changed more from the federation type of government into a stronger and more closely knitted group, its natuf ral ultimate goal.

With directors who'enjoyed their work and put their best into it, vocalists did some outstanding work last year. Roy E. Freeburg directs the A Capella Choir, an organization of approximately sixty mixed voices. During the fall semester, Howard Brubeck was president, with Maxine Duffield as representaf tive to the Music Federation Board. The Choir chose Brubeck again as president for the spring semester, with Norman Zech as representative. During the year, A Capella gave several perform' ances outside of school activities. Among 'these was a radio broadcast given in connection with the Pacific Schools broadcast, through the National Broadcasting Company. The group also particif pated in the Christmas and Spring Concerts. The Carollers, an organization of thirty women's voices, directed by Mary Weaver Macauley, ended their work together with the retirement of their leader in December, 1936. This organization was represented on the Federation Board by jane Calf lum. With the retirement of Mrs. Macauley, the Carollers, as well as other music organizations, felt they had lost a friend and helper. College Chorus, a newly organized group led by Raymond L. White, is a group of seventy mixed voices. Joe Rosen and Aimee Salomen were repref sentatives. Although this group has had no separate performances as yet, many plans for such activities have been made for future semesters. Sixteen mixed voices, the Madrigal Singers, are directed by Eileen McCall. Dorothy Berg was pres' ident during the year. Fall semester officers were: Margaret Nwea, secretaryftreasurerg Eugene Cor' bett, historian, Carlton Peters, concert manager. Spring semester officers were: Marie Cakin, secref taryftreasurerg Stephen Lehmer, historian, Carlton Peters, concert manager. Last summer, the Madrif gals gave a highly successful concert at Stanford University. Other performances which exemplified the reputation of the group for clarity and artistry were those given in Portalhurst Methodist and Luf theran Churches. Numbers were also given during the Supervisors' banquet at the St. Francis Hotel and at the Registrars' Convention at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. Not only do the Madrigals entertain off the campus, but they are a source of entertainf ment in school affairs as well. Assemblies and Parf entfFaculty meetings had them as guests during the year. Bach year the various vocal organizations meet in a joint concert. This year three hundred voices joined in a Christmas recital at the Temple Meth' odist Church. Carols were sung with antiphonal effects, children's voices, and solo parts. The Fred' eric Burk Children's Chorus added a sincerity to the nativity spirit. Solo parts were taken by Stephen Lehmer and Constance james. The Spring Concert was given not only to prof vide entertainment for the California Western Schools Music Conference, but also for friends and relatives of the members of the Federation. The gala recital was given on Palm Sunday in the First Congregational Church. With the cooperation of the orchestra, Brahms' Requiem was presented. Stephen Lehmer took the solo parts and lived his role with feeling and artistry. This concert proved to be well worth the time spent in preparing it. And so ended another year of singing together. fMaxine'Duffield.D T H E l 9 3 7 F R A N I:Page Eightyfonej C I SCAN O I INSTRUMENTALISTS Opportunities, talent, and fine instructors have combined to make this year a busy and profitable one for horn tooters, bow pushers, and members of our local music department. Everyone, from Jack Murphy and his Irish fiddle to Doug Kiddfing on the keys has participated in presentations ranging from Brahms' Requiem to Tiger Rag, rendered by Jack Martin on his banjo. If you drop down to Annex B around noon, you may be frightened by terrific roars. Never fear, we aren't experimenting with explosives! What you hear will be Les Weigel going to town on his tymps. If you investigate further, the next sounds that greet your ear fafter Les has given all his energyj will be the College Orchestra. If the door is open and you're still interested, you End the orchestra laboring away under the baton of Dr. Knuth funless he has broken it over Carl Hanson's headlj. Gathered about the captain of the good ship Music will be sixty to seventy members, sailing through one of music's greatest masterpieces. Dr. Knuth will still be endeavoring to give students some experience helpful when they are out in the field. Should it be Monday, you will be awakened by a strictly student enterprise-the College Theatre Orchestra. This organization was directed in the fall by Leon Minear, and later was taken over by Carlton Hanson. You heard this little symphony at the Student Body assembly and on President's Day when, according to the faculty, it gave the best performance ever. Sitting in on rehearsal the first time, you suppose it is a trio or quartette, but, as time marches on, and Bronstein arrives, then Stella, and Hnally Lou Morrison or Ida Fertig, you get the idea that it is an orchestra. If you last until Garzoli appears, you begin to wonder .... But when it gets that late, in walks the Giant Killer fwe mean Mr. William Zechj, who directs College Philharmonic Orchestra, and it begins rehearsal as soon as the pieces are cleared away. This organization, one of State's finest, is also one of its newest, and congratuf lations to Mr. Zech are in order. Naturally, you can't stay forever, so drop down the next day around eleven and hear the Band. If Bailey will lay down his triangle fOh, hadn't you heard? He is our one claim to fame-a true virf tuosolj , maybe we can proceed with our enjoyment. We only hope that while you are present, Mickey Maguire will lay aside his sax and that the tuba player will-oh, well, you know. Anyway, this organization deserves more attention than it gets. It will probably blossom forth in concert soon. At noon again, your attention may be drawn to the huge string orchestra. Upon approach, you find it is only the College Quartette, composed of Carl' ton Hanson, Leon Minear, jack Murphy, and the basest situation, Dick Lotter. If they seem to be muttering or something, it is because of competition given them by the Piano Ensemble next door. There we will no doubt find Brubeck, Zisser, or possibly Connie, playing catch with the cup that Brubeck and Kidd won at the Chickens' Ball. It won't last long, because the Giant Killer will be after them, but then we haven't lasted long either, or are you still there?

As athletes look forward to contests, and engineers to completed bridges, so do musicians await the opportunity of public performance. Through the Spring Music Festival and various other traditional concerts many students are given a chance to per' form. However, these programs have little to offer the solo performer and consequently the Student Hour Concerts ffor small ensemble and solo per' formersj were inaugurated. ln the fall of 1936 seven student artists were presented in two concerts, with Howard Brubeck as chairman. The first program featured three artists: Sylvia Polishook, violinist, Elise Madsen, pianist, and Stephen Lehmer, vocalist. lt seems as Papa Lehmer wrote an Indian opera and son Steve went into his dance and whooped off a few songs in native tongue. But don't get me wrong, they didn't show any signs of violence. The second program featured Dick Lotter, trumf pet soloist, the piano duo of Bennett and Zisser, who climaxed their career with their performance on this program, and Marie Cakin, vocalist. Miss Cakin surprised her audience when she walked on the stage with her four feet eight inches and un' leashed a voice with the power of a Wagnerian soprano. During the spring semester two concerts were scheduled under the direction of James Chesnut. Featured artists included the piano teams of Zisser and James and Kidd and Brubeck, piano soloists Carleton Peters and Margaret Batdorfg the string quartet composed of Carleton Hanson and Leon Minear, violinistsg Jack Murphy, violag and Dick Lotter, cello, and Lou Morrison and james Chesnut performing a violin and piano sonata. fBy Howard Brubeckj PERSONALITIES After another year together, we find many new and old friends, many queer and odd personalities fspeak for yourself, Johnll, and many thoughts of things we have done together. The growth of our department has more than doubled since we made our egress from the towering, wooden bulwark known as College Hall. Cur pine and paper palace has been the scene of many a sour discord and many a beauteous accord. What could be more inspiring, however, than to be next to George Stewart and listen to him wrestle with his rendition of Concone for lla? Carlton Hanson finally did take time off from his fiddling and found out just how much the Music Federation had for had notj in its treasury. Les Weigel will probably spend another summer up the river or on a lake or something, but we surely will have peace during summer session without those tymps. Mr. White was holding out on usg he is from Alameda, too. We didn't know that the Alameda frontier had a piano, but perhaps that is why he left. W' ill we have a drum major next semester? Ben Ziegler says he'll apply for the job when it's open. Norman Zech says he'll help drill the band. It seems he has drilled about all of the drill teams in San Francisco. Connie James takes the honors for performance in the P. E. QPiano Ensemblej class. First she per' formed with Barbara Bennett and then with Bee Zisser on the recital hours. Of course for the year, Doug Kidd and Howard Brubeck did rather nobly by themselves by walking off with the cup for the best performance in the Chicken's Ball. They too, seem to be still pounding the ivories in Piano Ensemble.

Quiet, little, un' assuming Harold Martin was appointed, and prof ceeded to literally put State on the front page. Various persons had formerly handled the thank' less unpaid job of publicizing the college. Now Martin's cofworkers have nicknamed him Stooge because his hours of work far outweigh his pay. It is not unusual to see him work until three o'clock in the morning to get State extra inches of copy in newspapers. With the support of the student body, he now has the State Legislature deliberating over his building campaign idea. ln his spare time, Harold supplied many FRANCISCAN pictures, then worked weekfends to help get them ready. So we present Harold Martin, State's Publicity Department, a hardfworker, excel' lent photographer, and grand friend. fEve1yn Harris, B.B.j I PUBLICATIONS BOARD Controlling all major publications of the college is this Board, composed of six members and a director. Members are elected by the Student Body for a twofyear term, three being elected each year. Vacancies are filled by the Board, with approval of the Executive Board. The main function of the Board is to arrange for publication of the Golden Cater and ERANf CISCAN. In this capacity, it chooses the editors and business managers, and approves their staffs. How' ever, it is in turn responsible for its actions to the Executive Board. This semester ends the many years of valuable service that Miss Grace Carter and Miss Cecilia Anderson have rendered in their capacity as sponf sors. They have been advisers of the Board from the start, and their service has been invaluable. Because of the new journalism setfup, Mrs. S. Ruth WittfDiamant will be sponsor from the English department, and Dr. Roy C. Cave will be adviser from the Social Science department.

From the Vigilante and Bay Leaf of Normal School days to the Golden Cater of today has been a stirring page in the history of the college. The years have seen the development of a monthly mimeographed sheet into one of the most progresf sive trifvveeklies. During recent times, the Golden Cater reached tvvo high points in its career as the official nevvsf paper of the college. The semifvveekly, Hvefcolumn sheet was started at the beginning of 1936 under the editorship of Will Smith. Under the guidance of Smith, it further expanded into a sixfcolumn paper. The start of 1937 saw expansion into a tri' vveekly. This move was pioneered by Bill Buchan, editor during the fall, and was officially adopted in January, 1937. As always, one goal has been kept in mind-the eventual development of a true college daily. Each fContintied on page 143D GOLDEN GATER EditorsfinfChief .....

Associate Editor In the pages of the annual are found true repref sentations of the story of State's development as a college. The FRANCISCAN, from its earliest begin' nings, has been the chronicle of the steps that have taken State from the Normal School days of early San Francisco to the present campus. To present collegiate life and activities has been only one goal of the present staff of the FRANCIS' CAN. To give a word and picture story of the progf ress of State has been the ultimate aim. Robert Barry was appointed editor of this twelfth volume. From him has come the inspiration, the necessary driving force to make this an outstanding annual. From him came the impetus which again brought future FRAN c1sCANs back on a compulsory subscription basis. Aiding the editor were William I. J. Smith and William Buchan as associate editors.

Gur alma mater could, without exaggeration, claim the paper puttingfoutingfesf' championship without fear of ever losing it. State students evidently believe in telling the world, for in addition to the two official publicaf tions, there were: The Westscribe, Daily Stater, Commentator, Frederick Burk News, Alpha Gamma Notes, Sizzler, and Chizzler, in addition to countless mimeographed club publications and weekly bulletins, many of which brought joy to the hearts of various editors and grief to the Executive Board and Board of Publications. Exhumed from that literary miasma into which all highftone publications sink occasionally, the rusty Grphic became the shaggy Westscribe under the enthusiastic sponsorship of Curtis Zahn's Scribes Club. Brush and Palette also rose to the occasion to contribute some excellent block cuts. Shaggy as the cover of the publication was, so inf vcrsely were the contents polished. Embryo authors who contributed included Dick Marsh, Roy Lauge' sen, Fred McGowan, Peggy Cleghorn, Harold lacobs, Elinor Stanton, Jane Crawford, Nicholas Vogulkin, Patricio lvlegino and Curtis Zahn. Most popular among minor news sheets was that organ for dissemination of dirt, the Daily Stater. Erwin Al E. Gater Bischoff edited the rag. Old' timers remember when the Daily Stater was a mime' ographed publication, selling for a dime a month, and distributed daily in the post boxes. Then, after the Board of Publications had frowned very darkly on the staff, the editors engineered a most ingenious bit of legal maneuvering, and retreated to the prof tection of the Executive Board. This was done by declaring the paper to be not a publication but a poster. Thereafter only one copy fa poster, heh, hehlj was printed and placed on the bulletin board for all to read. And oh my, did the Board of Publi' cations gnash its teeth! When Bischoff finally col' lapsed from the strain and left school, Dorothy Fox and Wallace Gallagher rushed in to fill the gap and annoy the more wicked of our younger set. Then the wrath of the multitude struck at the editor, upsetting her equilibrium so effectually that she, too, left school. And so we wrote finis to the Daily Stater. fAlas or Hooray?D The Sizzler is a paper which needs no intro' duction to any who attend semifannual Publicaf tions Dinners. At each and every dinner, some anonymous individual is goaded and prodded into such a state of vexation, that he relieves his emotion by publishing The Sizzler . At one dinner, many people had the same idea, for there appeared four different razz sheets: The Sizzler, Chizzler, Stater, and one with no name at all. We hereby print a list of names of people affiliated with such nuisances. Can you pick the editors? Harold Jacobs, Kay Buckley, Cliff Worth, Bob Barry, Elsa Magniis, Erwin Bischoff, Wallace Gallagher, Louise Val' larino, Will Smith. Typical Comments on Minor Periodicals Vxfestscribe: 'gSuch a shaggy cover. Literary genius in our school, by gosh, and Mr. Fenton thought it was impossible. Daily Stater: That dirty rag shouldn't be al' lowedf' L'There's always such a crowd in front of that bulletin board, I wonder why?l' The Commentator: fExtract Executive Board Notesj A motion was made to have the editor, Mr. Mackie, appear before the Board. The Sizzler: VVho is the editor of that thing?

Fall and spring fashion shows, aided by local shops, were given, a hike to Muir Vvfoods was held, and various dances sponsored. SCRIBES All those interested in creative writing, whether it be the actual composing, appreciation, or critif cism of it are eligible to membership. At its weekly meetings, discussion of actual writing problems and reading of members' literary efforts are held. Each semester the best work is bound into magazine form and last fall was published as the Westscribe. Whether or not the Ovphic will be published in the spring is undecided. PHI LAMBDA CHI Under the leadership of Harriet White, this Protestant social organization had an active year. Open houses were held to sponsor the feeling of friendship and unity with the college, a spring dansant was given at the Resident Club, and a Senior Breakfast was held in the spring at the Lake Merritt Hotel in Oakland. The group also gave a Circus Night at their home. ALPHA MU GAMM.A Honorary foreign language society is Theta chapter. Marie Quartararo served as president dur' ing the year of its existence, and Madame Dony has been its sponsor. The group aims to develop international friendship and to increase interest in various foreign countries. Informal monthly talks have been given by members who have travelled to distant countries. An installation dinner, opera party, initiation, and contemplated graduation dinner constitute its activities. SPANISH CLUB Los Lazarillos, better known as the Spanish Club, was led by Valeria Wily as president. The group is a social organization for those interested in the language, so that a complete social program is carried out. Two parties given at homes of memf bers highlighted activities. Sponsorship of a noon dance, an icefskating party, and hike also were included. Remaining plans call for a dinner and closing tea.

The spring had an installation and reception for officers, a buffet sup' per, and initiation of new members. Plans for a weekfend party and cookie sale conclude the social season. CAMARADES FIDELES All those interested in French culture and lan' guage are invited to membership in this French club, sometimes called Le Cercle Francais. Among its purposes are the arousing of interest in French things and delving into customs of this country. Under George Alves and Rose Perlman, the group made visits to the French library to hear lectures by prominent authors, had a house party, and enjoyed several dinners at French restaurants. WESTMINSTER CLUB Devoted to Christian fellowship, the West' minister Club is composed of Protestant men and women. Bifweekly meetings have roundftable dis' cussions or purely social getftogethers. A weekfend party was given by the group at Point Reyes in the fall, under Bob Prather, president, and Dr. Fisk, sponsor. Besides other activities, the club has laid plans for active social service work starting next semester. BRUSH AND PALETTE To interest art students in the cultural and aesthetic aspects of San Francisco, the Brush and Palette provides opportunities for expression by its members. Under Grace Regier, president, and Miss Cooch, sponsor, the club arranged decorations for college functions, illustrated the Westscvibe, and gave art exhibits and a Christmas card sale. Its Sketching Studio was voted most popular at the Intercollegiate World's Fair. SPHINX An open forum meeting weekly to discuss topics of contemporary interest in the field of art, literaf ture, politics, and sociology, the Sphinx is led by Sonia Selig. Entrance is gained by invitation from its council. Evening meetings and dinners comprise social events. Dr. Treutlein was host to the group at his home in the fall, while the spring had the or' ganization meet for its dinner at a local restaurant. CHESS One of the youngest, yet most active organizaf tions is the Chess Club. Its teams have met numer- ous high schools, junior colleges, and colleges of the East Bay. With Mr. Amsden as sponsor and Gaetano Stella, president, the intercollegiate team of Stella, Marks, and Trevarrow had a successful season. It held Balboa, northern state high school champions, to a tie, and, among others, defeated San Mateo and San Francisco jaysees.

Under the leadership of Jack Murphy, the group holds bi' weekly business and social meetings at its club' house, 350 Buchanan Street. Its purpose is to prof mote spiritual, social, and intellectual life of its members. Activities have included a communion breakfast, a dance at the Palace, Founder's Day Dinner, and a picnic at St. Mary's College. GPEN ROAD CLUB Interest in world affairs is fostered by this group, which follows the field of geography to stress politif cal, economical, and cultural aspects in relation to international intercourse and understanding. Durf ing the year, the club presented a series of native speakers, who acquainted members with problems and cultures of other lands. The annual spring tea was held in the formal Japanese ceremonial manner.

Everybody has a chance to kick about tion of their skill. Teamwork is the keyfword in volley ball and State girls know it, for they produce outstanding teams. At the end of the semester, girls were di' vided into two evenly matched teams, which held an exhibition game. At the end of this exciting game, the score was tied, 29f29. An extra playing session was called, and at its conclusion the score was 3934. With fourteen girls turning out for handball, a successful singles tournament was run oif. Parallel to the regular tournament of winners, losers' matches were played. During the middle of the semester June Klarmann, manager, arranged a novel paddle handball tournament. Gaterettes are capable of socking home runs! Every Monday noon students gathered around the field to cheer their favorite team on to victory. To add variety to the program, Eldris Burrowes arf ranged a baseball game with faculty men. The faculty proved a stubborn opponent, but the girls remained undefeated. About twentyffive girls composed the W. A. A. tumbling team. Under capable instruction by the other one putting her foot in! Audrey Stewart, the group produced many star performances. They added to enjoyment of the Iaysee Sportnight and TrifCollege Playday by demonstrating their ability in floating through the air. Because of numerous requests, W. A. A. revived the old art of fencing. This group, managed by Virginia Schapp, was open to all members of the student body. Under the coaching of Mr. Farmer, many skilled fencers were produced. ' Tennis proved very popular, and tournaments of singles and doubles were held. Due to lack of facilities it was necessary for Mary Bilafer, man' ager, to reserve outside courts. Matches were played off every Saturday. Winners and runnersfup were awarded gold and purple ribbons, respectively. Having approximately fifty girls out for basket' ball, Bobbe Sandeen, manager, arranged them into four closely matched teams. The teams having chosen the names: Dopes, Gin Whizzes, Stoopes, and Giants, entered in roundfrobin tournament. At the conclusion of the tournament games, the two best teams held an exhibition. fBabette Lauj T H E l 9 3 7 F R A N fPage One Hundred Fivel C l SCAN I I WOMEN LEADERS The Women's Athletic Association, more com' monly called the W.

Virginia Kyriazi was chosen president, and did a great job of managing the Triangle Playday, in which San Jose State, San Mateo Junior College, and San Francisco State girls participated. Blanche Tuggy, elected vicefpresident, was named chairman of the annual High School Playday. She can be rightfully praised for her efforts given in making the day an enjoyable and successful one. Eldris Burf rowes, secretary of the organization, was she who kept a neat and beautiful minute book. Finally Babette Lau, treasurer, who kept W. A. A. out of the red side of the ledger. Spring of 1937 brought new faces as W. A. A. leaders. This time, after a general election, Babette Lau emerges as president.

While refreshments were served, various sport managers were introduced and the awards system was explained. After participating in two sports a semester for three semesters, girls are entitled to a W. A. A. pennant, provided they have maintained a C average. After three more semesters, girls are awarded gold pins. Fiftyfeight high schools joined at State on November 5 to participate in a miniature Olympics.

Due to untiring efforts of Blanche Tuggy and her committees, the Playday was a great success. To add variety to noonday programs, Wednesf days were reserved for dances. With Virginia Kyriazi and George Bogdanoff as chairmen, W. A. A. and the Block SH sponsored noon dances. College organizations reserved dates on which they wished to give their dance. This type of noonday recreation takes the burden off the shoulders of just one organization and gives each club an opportunity to do its part in fostering sociability.

Judgment was based on number of students present, features, and general atmosphere. With twentyfiive girls turning out, Kappa Delta Tau staged a successful season of modern dancing. State representatives attended the annual College Symposium held at Stanford on April 10. This meeting had representatives from nine Calif fornia colleges and one from Nevada. Each college presented a problem, which was followed by a lesson in technique. Martha Graham's group per' formed for the exhibition. For the first time, Kappa Delta Tau presented a high school Dance Day. Students from high schools in the Bay area were invited. Demonstration dances were first given, then guests participated. It is the hope of Helen Frank, president of the group, that the Hi School Dance Day will become traditional. W. A. A. inaugurated its first jaysee Sportnight on the evening of March 18. Thirty San Francisco Junior College girls were invited to participate with thirty State girls in events of the evening. Mixer games were interspersed with badminton, ping' pong, volley ball, horse shoes, relays, and folk dance ing. Cne of the features of the program was an exhibition of tumbling.

The TrifCollege Playday, which comes to State every third year, found the campus surrounded by Indians. As guests from San Mateo C. and San -lose State arrived, they were given an Indian inf signia and placed in tribes. Squaw Virginia Kyriazi led the group before President Babette Lau, who welcomed them and turned them over to Marge Leary, who sent tribes off to different settlements. In the fall, a hike in Marin County, swimming at the Y. W. C. A., and roller skating constituted the main outings. A hike to Big Lagoon and a weekfend party at Point Reyes were major outings of the spring planned by Berta Bolander. Boating on Stow Lake, cycling in Colden Gate Park, swimming at the Y, and a trip to the Mountain Theatre were other enjoyable outings. Bracers, informal sport nights, sponsored by W. A.

Off to a flying start, the varsity swept through such teams as the Royce Athletic Club, Cakland Y. M. C. A., Mare Island Apprenf tices, and Healds College with startling ease. As the season progressed, we found such teams as Chico State, Humboldt State, Fresno State, Calif fornia Aggies, San Francisco Y. M. C. A., and University of Nevada dangling in bewilderment on the wrong end of the score. 1 Our scrappy varsity started their Q regular schedule on January 8 by M administering a sound thrashing to - Menlo jaysee by a score of 5 3f18. Cn the following night, our boys were the abusive guests of Menlo to the tune of 54f24. Billy Ham' mond, our fiery little forward, led the attack in the first game with eighteen points, followed by Atkinf son with eleven. Kenny Wilkes, whose speed on the hardwoods earned him the nickname of Scooter, came through in the second contest with eighteen markers, followed by Atkinson and De Bisschop with eleven and ten points, respectively. TTT TS , Then came the axe! The following l ll Friday found us floundering helplessly Q before the long range bucketing of an A A inspired group of athletes from Chico State. '1 he Purple and Gold started off fast to earn a lead of six points. Chico soon overcame this lead and by half time, knotted the score at eighteen all. The visitors were hotter than the proverbial skillet in the latter part of the game, and by virtue of their successful long shots, gave us our first taste of defeat, 36f29. Stenberg, Chico's miniature guard, led the evening scoring with eleven points to his PAW Showing a reversal of form, the next evening found the Gaters beatin the D Q g 0 Northerners, 3564, in a game that M, lacked little in excitement and thrills. Stenberg again walked off with high point honors by tanking fifteen points. Wilkes peppered the basket for eleven. Ken Johnson, State guard, had eight markers to his credit, and was particularly effective on defense. The following week found the Alligators with overnight bags and toothbrushes, speeding north to fulfill an engagement with the Humboldt Staters. Leaving their ight in the hotel lobby, our boys lost a listless affair to the Lumberjacks, 3228. Ham' mond, playing with his usual vigor, was able to singe the net with eleven digits, while Thornton, Humboldt center, tanked ten.

I Dejected by having dropped a game 'Q ' h h ' h G t l in t e nort ern' series, t e a ers My played havoc with our guests from 'HF' Fresno State in a twofgame series. Led by Cy Atkinson, who produced eleven points, the Staters ran roughfshod over the visiting quintet, 35f25. Wilkes' sharp eye and Hammond's sensaf tional floor game were instrumental in the Fresno setback. The second game, a replica of the first, found Fresno a little more stubborn by only subf mitting to a 36f34 shellacking. Wilkes again scored eleven. The next lamb to be led to the I 9 4 1 slaughter came in the form of the Calif 9 f fornia Aggies squad. The series called ' for a home and home engagement, the first being played in the State gym. The lamb was properly sheared, 43f35. Hammond came forward with eighteen markers, followed by Atkinson with twelve. Johnson played a stellar defense. The next night was quite an event for the Gaters, three of the squad celebrating their birthdays with a 4Of39 victory over the Aggies. De Bisschop and Atkinson scored ten apiece. Dobbins of the Aggies was high with eleven. Y Kezar Pavilion was the scene of the . next game. The Staters made themf A selves right at home with the San 1 Francisco Y. M. C. A., overwhelming them by the lopsided score of 5 2f44. Cy Atkinson, particularly tepid, chalked up fifteen points. Wilkes, with twelve counters, and Hammond, with ten, trailed him. 1 Fluctuating like a stock market, the Alligators again rutted to the extent 0 of tossing away the first of the Nevada A . series, 38f33. Hammond and Atkinson scored twelve and ten points, respectively. The following night found the team in high, rolling over the Wolves of Nevada by a 48f31 margin of victory. Every member of the State squad had his finger in the pie, with De Bisschop gaining nineteen digits. D ' Again the blade descended, and the Orphans of San Francisco Iaysee 9 slapped the Staters around to the tune L T of a 49f31 victory. The Golden Tide was prefgame favorite, due to its more impressive record, but took it on the chin, then turned the other cheek! After leading for almost the entire first half, the Gaters slipped and allowed the Jaysee to have a 2046 halfftime lead. After that they were never headed. To prove it was not an accif dent, the Billygoats fer, Rams!J closed the State season with its second victory, 5 3f38. Rippon, chesty forward of the Rams, tanked twentyfone points, while Atkinson of the Gaters garnered six' teen. Loss of De Bisschop and Plutte in the second period severely handicaped the team. Highlights of the season: Cy Atkinson scoring 217 points to average 10.85 per game, as against Merv Chionino's old record of 9.13.

IAYVEE BASKETEERS Baby Gater hoopsters, under the direction of Coach George Mirande, fought their way through an extremely tough season to win hfteen of their twentyfthree games. This record surpasses the fourf teen out of twentyfseven won by last year's squad. Starting with Joe Lee and Ronnie English at forwards, Frank Collins at center, and Hal Thompf son and A1 Thomson as guards, Coach Mirande worked out a classy club. This combination was the nucleus of Mirande's outfit, but fighting for their positions were: Bob Chandler, Bud Decker, and George Bogdanoff at guards, Bill Rowlands and Bob Bragg at forwards, and ,lim Hopkins in the center spot. High schools trounced by the Baby Gaters inf cluded: Lowell, A. A. A. city champions, Com' merce, Sacred Heart, Pittsburg, Ukiah, and Willits. Losing some tough and close games to St. Ignatius, Signal Oil, S. F. Boys' Club, and the U. C. 145's, the junior varsity showed that they could drop games, yet come back stronger than ever. The Rams of S. F. J. C. split the two game series with our lightweights. High point man of the lightweights was Frank Collins, with a total of 127 points. Ronnie English pressed Collins to the utmost with his total of 124, and was followed by Ioe Lee with 110 markers. All three players had an average of over five points per game, an exhibition of the consistent ball played by the team. Along with the I. Vfs came a new addition to State casaba teams, the Flying A's. This team is composed of boys who have never before played basketball. Naturally their season was not sensaf tional, though they won three of the ten games scheduled. From this team are taken new members of the J. V. squad and possible varsity material.

THE SPIKESTERS Defeated in only two intercollegiate meets, Dave Cox's track team hung up an enviable record this year. After a slow start, due to extremely precipif tatious conditions Q rain! Q , the team Hnally managed to get going, in time to win five of the seven schedf uled meets. State, 663 All-Stars, 44 First of the victims of the V Cater thinfclads were the San N Francisco High School All' it Stars. Although given but little chance of winning, State man' aged to take first places in all but three events. Mel Long of Lowell broke the high school high jump record whenhe cleared the bar at 6 ft. 3V2 in. The pole vault and 220fyard dash also went to the All' Stars. High point man for State was Daryl Hopkins, with 13 points for his first places in the high and low hurdles and a second in the high jump. Other double winners were Steve Ebert, in the shotput and discus, and Errol Evans, in the 100fyard dash and broad jump. Stan Kuder annexed a first in the mile and a second in the halffmile. Times in the various events were fair, considering the little training possible in the inclement weather. , 1 5 1 ,,L ..,,, LM State, 805 Santa Rosa, 44 3 After being forced to cancel J, , two successive meets, the Gaters hnally managed to meet Santa Rosa. Times in various events M5wWlf7 were good, some being actually better than those in the CaliforniafU. C. L. A. meet on the same day. The field was very slow from the recent rains, and a stiff wind hindered competitors, so that events were not sensational. Daryl Hopkins again was highfpoint man, with a total of 20 points. He won the high jump at 6 ft., the broad jump at 20 ft., and the high and low hurdles in 15 .8 and 24.2 seconds, respectively. Outstanding time of the meet was the 220fyard dash, won by a Santa Rosa man, with Jim Hopkins of State about a hair'sfbreadth behind him. Biggest thrill of the day was the 440fyard dash. Frank Col' lins, attempting to pass Lindlow, unintentionally spiked him. Both fell to the ground, but Lindlow won in 5 2.7 seconds. Stan Kuder took the halffmile in 2:02 minutes, Bob Cota garnered the mile in 4:38, and Biff Shreeve won the twofmile and was second in the mile. Hurst and Ebert won the javelin and discus, respectively. Evans again took the 100 in 10.4 sec' onds and came in second to Hopkins in the broad jump. Surprising was the team of Robinson, Leavitt, Collins, and Lindlow, which won the mile relay in easy fashion, the Hrst good team which State has had in years. State, 62 263 Modesto, 592 In the closest and most inter' J, --'-' ' 'V esting meet of the season, the Purple and Gold took the measf ill, J E E ure of Modesto by winning the 'M relay. At no time during the meet was either team more than five points ahead. Up to the relay, State was behind two points. g Lindlow of State was down sick with flu, and Modesto had a 440 man capable of beating any Stater. Dave Cox told Kuder, Leavitt, and Hopkins that they would have to give Collins, the anchor man, a tenfyard lead if they expected him to win. They did just that, and Collins managed to stave off the final drive of the Modesto man to win by a scant yard. Daryl Hopkins again scored 17 points with vicf tories in the high jump, high and low hurdles, and a third in both the broad jump and 100fyard dash.

SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage One Hundred Sixteenil AND THE PIGSKIN PARADE . A complete New Deal in football was given State students and athletes in 1936. Truly a year of change for stars of the whitefwashed turf, they now had a definite place, Roberts Stadium, to carry on daily workouts. It was now up to the coaches, Dan Farmer and Hal Harden, to put the material together and produce a representative team. Three weeks after the start of practice, they proved that they had accomplished this task. A few minutes after eight o'clock on the night Mime of September 25, three thousand fans knew State had a team. Don Schutz, ' Mare Island Marine fullf back, kicked to Dave Schiller, who almost carried the ball back the entire distance. From the Marine forty, he took a pass from Captain Bill Harkness, but tripped on the twenty. State lost the ball on passes, but later marched fiftyfsix yards to score.

Momenf tarily, it looked as if State were going to continue its previous scoring spree, but a clipping penalty seemed to break their spirit on the verge of a score. The jaysee scored in every period. Harold Johnson took Harkness' punt on his twenty and behind per' fect interference, traveled the remaining eighty yards. Conversion was good. In the second quarter, a fortyftwo yard pass put the ball in scoring posif tion. Mullins dashed around his right end for the points. Half score was 14fO.

The Gater line surged through and Hal Beseman stuck out his chest to deflect the ball over the end zone. An auto' matic safety gave State two precious points, later the margin of victory. Throughout the remaining time, the Purple and Gold constantly stopped the fleet jaysee backs, to gain a superb victory. This proved conclusively-State had a real team. The truly brilliant victory marked the dedication of Roberts Stadium and the first real profit in gate receipts!

After the Jaysee had pushed the ball down to the oneffoot line, jimmy Finch plunged over. A quick thrust by Gilmore and a sixtyfthree yard run netted another score. Half score was l2fO. Three more tallies were scored in the final half through passes and runs by Gilmore and Finch. Harkness played with a sprained ankle, while Bob Scharetg finally had to be carried off the field in an ambulance. Well, we'll be U. S. Cfing you!

Cunco W? ville to battle the Wild' no mn wi gn mqunnvsz musan ii tition with the Gaters, Chico expected a pushover. Scoring with the old dead man trick shortly after the opening kickoff, the Golden Tide missed victory by failure to conf vert. A pass into the flat from Harkness to Kelnf hofer, after the latter had hidden himself along the sidelines, provided State's only score. Chico waited until the last period before it pushed over the ball from the twofyard line, then failed in its attempted conversion. This was really a moral victory for the local eleven, fighting for a victory for Coach Farmer, who wanted to best his old coach, Art Acker of the Wildcats. B Traveling south for its ,,.,.,,,,, Hnal game of the season, sum mimi the Gaters ran into an un' guggnzg- defeated squad which 3l k EJ W I had won the Southern California Conference Championship. Howard Yeager, one of the nation's leading scorers, received honorable mention on several AllfAmericans. This leads to the fact that it was an achievement for State to score on the Gauchos, since it was only the second touchdown scored on them during the season. Harkness passed to Ru Stone behind the Gaucho fullback, and Ru made a sensational onefhand stab, then fell over the goal. Red Thompson converted. Yeager scored two of his team's touchdowns, while Bob Morelli made himself a constant threat. This brought to an end the most glorious of all football seasons in State history. A grand slam over S. F. Jaysee, a tie with Chico, and the largest score ever run up by a Gater eleven-all packed into one year of gridiron festivities. Led by Hal Beseman, captainfelect, and Bill Harkness, last year's leader, the entire squad will be eligible for competition next season. Thirtyfsix to thirtyfnine veterans will return to make a truly great eleven. QDave Schutzj Tl-lEl937 FRANCISCAN fPage One Hundred Nineteenj I IT'S A RACQUET! Speaking of tennis-and who isn't speaking of it these days, what with the Perrys, Vines, Tildens, etc., being featured in newspaper headlines from Coast to Coast-it might not be amiss at this point to tell you that here at San Francisco State College we have a player who, according to present indicaf tions, should reach the highest annals of net star' dom within the next few years. We refer, of course, to the Little Napoleon of the tennis courts, Ronnie English. Recognized in the Bay Area as the champion in intercollegiate circles, English, a senior, has been the mainstay of the Cater team all season, winning consistently week after week, and keeping the squad from being completely humbled by every college they encountered. Besides English, the Gater team comprised: Doug Crary, No. 2, Lou Morrison, No. TENNIS TEAM Pena, Hammond, English, Rosen, Maguire, Carson, Vogulf kin, Kavanaugk, Ewefs, Crary, Morrison, Hulbert. 3, Rod Kavanaugh, No. 4, Frank Carson, No. 5, and Joe Rosen, No. 6. The starting of the 1937 season was the signal for the formation of the Northern California Inter' collegiate Tennis Association, comprising Northern California's major independent colleges. This inf cluded, besides State, the University of San Fran' cisco, University of Santa Clara, Saint Mary's College, and San Jose State College. From this group, the Gaters were selected as the team to beat. On paper, they had everything. Besides English, they had Billy Hammond in the number two position. Hammond has been a consistent win' ner in college net play, and the strength of this combination was believed enough to carry the Purple and Gold squad to the top of the league. But the season had hardly been under way before old man hard luck struck the Gaters a paralyzing blow from which they never recovered. Hammond, second only to English, was injured in an automobile accident and pronounced out for the season. Doug Crary was moved into the number two spot, and played brilliantly in many contests, but Hammond's loss was felt throughout the year. f The squad opened the season by journeying down the Peninf Qffitfggky sula to engage the Santa Clara S, QEQMTP ip, Broncos, whom they had de' 57 mm cum 'WP' , - G feated for three consecutive years. But this time the worm turned, the Broncs flashing a consistent attack that ended in the defeat of the local squad, 6 to 3. Following this, the Tide met the University of San Francisco Dons on the SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage One Hundred Twentyl Palace of Fine Arts courts, once again losing by a score of 6 to 3. Sigiiiizizm X In nonfleague competition, the locals met and defeated the California Aggies, 6 to 3. 55, ,,,m Through all this, English was a 9 W' W l'5 ll l ' consistent winner, while Doug Crary and Rod Kavanaugh alternated to win single sets. The Gater squad then met and succumbed to the powerful attack of the Galloping Gaels of Saint Mary's College, 6 to 3. In this tussle, Ronnie English met and defeated what was probably his staunchest opponent of the season, Dick Schuman. Crary came through to win his singles matches, then teamed with English to take State's only victory in the doubles. The Palace of Fine Arts was 1 Jqafff the locale for the second meeting of the Gaters and the Broncos of Santa Clara. English continued as ' 'o'0'O v Q .' v 4 obit: uolhv' .-...... ,...,...9 '.'.'.'.'.'.A .- -g.'.'.4-.- -'. 5'o'o'e'n'y'a'o'. fG'?

Crary and Kavanaugh came through to defeat Sullivan and Fuller, respectively, in further singles matches. The match finished with the locals on the short end of a 6 to 3 score. In doubles competition, English and Crary were victorious, as were Kavanaugh and Rosen. i But even after the Tide's def feat at the hands of the Bronco avengers, the Peninsula racquet xiismn-1 fans were still unsatisfied. The I ' ' San jose Staters, still topping the entire league, proved class by taking the locals to the tune of 8 to l. The only winner in the entire affair for the city aggregation being, of course, the invincible English. The Gaters then had their last chance to lift themselves out of Qg35g::,s1 I U I '39 the cellar position in the league Q by facing the powerful secondf 5' Q W' place Galloping Gaels of Saint Mary's College at the Palace of Fine Arts Courts on Friday, April 16. But, once again, the much hoped for victory didn't come. The Moragans proved that their secondfplace position in the league was no freak accident, by taking the poor befuddled Staters over the hurdles to a 6 to 3 defeat. I The only redeeming feature of I the entire situation was the fact that the Little Napoleon of the Tide, Ronnie English, had played in his last match for the San Francisco State squad, and concluded his record of undefeated matches by dumping, for the second time, Dick Schuman, one of his toughest opponents in four years of repref RONNIE sentin the Golden Gaters. After the ENGLISH g Zingffwpfjfyfl' match, there was no room for doubt as to which of the two was the superior netman. The two balls which Schuman and English used were autographed by the latter, and will be kept here on the campus as a tribute to State's best 7 1 CVCI' . The squad was coached throughout the year by Dan Farmer, who has guided State tennis teams through better seasons, but who never once this year lost his cheerful point of view and confidence in the squad. Billy Hammond's presence on the squad would, no doubt, have made a great deal of difference, but it would seem that the entire setfup was just one of those things. fBy Tim Guineyl T I-I E l 9 3 7 F B A N fPagc One Hundred Twenty-onel C I SCAN O O DIAMOND DUST Kenny Wilkes and Hal Vkfoocl take their respective fancl respectable! cuts at the ball in some Harold Martin action pictures. Two schools of thought developed over possibilf ity of a 1937 baseball season for the Purple and Gold. One faction contended that baseball teams had never before taken to the diamond in hip boots, while the other side maintained it can't rain forf ever. Constantly through the month of February and early March the rain fell, washing out game after game. Fortunately, coaches and managers of spring sports are used to seeing schedules messed up by wet weather, and most of the games were ref scheduled. Coach Hal Harden for the fifth year sent out word that baseball practice was in order. And for the third time, Hal had the pleasure of greeting a veteran nine. Seniors playing their last year for the Gaters were: Pat Bowers, left field, George Bogf danoff, first base, Ioe Lee, second base, Hal Wood, third base, and Ken Wilkes, shortstop. These men, supported by Charlie Iago, Spider Turner, and Andy Gavron, the only middle distance men on the squad, along with such newcomers as Bill Gabby Abbey, Ru Stone, Gwen Jones, Dick Csborne, Dave Parker, Sid Fischer, Bill Rose, George Worf mell, Ed Collins, and George Peters made up a po' tentially great State baseball team. For the second year, pitching offered a problem for the Gater coach to solve. In 1936, it was simply a case of making an outfielder and hrst baseman into pitchers, but this year, Coach Harden invaded the realm of track to obtain Ru Stone, State's onefman track team, and Owen Iones, weight man. After an undefeated series of seven practice games against local high schools, the nine met Santa Rosa I. C. in a rather belated opening of the col' legiate season. Andy Gavron, who relieved Gwen jones when the latter was injured slightly by a pitched ball, was credited with winning the first intercollegiate game of the 1937 season, 6f4. While Bear Cubs were collecting only four hits off Iones and Gavron, Bill Abbey and Pat Bowers were get' ting five of State's eleven bingles.

Because scheduled games were rained out, the SAN FRANCISCO STATE CCLLEGE fPage One Hundred Twentyftwoil Caters again played their second college game against Santa Rosa, this time in the northern city. Ru Stone, hurling his first game against a college nine, received credit for beating the Cubs, lfO. Cn the following Wednesday, the first of April, the Gaters packed their bats and thumbed down to the Prune City to meet Santa Clara. Few persons would have given much for Cater chances of still being undefeated by dinner time. However, the Staters pulled an April Fool's joke on the Bronc, 'I IE!

The city folk combed eighteen hits out of the collective hair of Bricca, Radnich, and Selenger, the best hurlers the Broncos could offer. Ru Stone completed the surprise of the nonfpaying spectators by steadying down to throw good ball from the hilltop, having the honor of being the first Cater hurler to knock over the Prune Pickers.

Then came the one game all State baseballers eagerly await, the contest with the Ragged Rams from Powell Street's S. F. C. The Orphans are pretty cocky when it comes to other sports, but in the national pastime against State, the Goats are a bit timid.

With Jones pitching sixfhit ball and Pat Bowers getting three hits along with Peruna Wood's pair of doubles, the Staters avenged themselves for a certain football game, winning 8f3. IE!

The lead changed hands three times and the score was tied three times, until, going into the sixth, the score was tied at three all.

When next baseball practice rolls around, there will be five positions to fill, vacated by State's graduating stars: George Bogdanoff, Joe Lee, Ken Wilkes, Pat Bowers, and Hal Wood. We salute these men, for it was they who actually made State's first baseball teams the finest athletic units to wear the Purple and Gold. QBy Bill Rosej SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE fPage One Hundred Twentyffourl ATHLETIC LEADERS With Dave Cox at the helm and cofpiloted by Coaches Hal Harden and Dan Farmer, another successful athletic year has passed across the slate for State. Coaching the track team and holding down the position of athletic director was genial Dave Cox. While busily turning out a winning football aggregation, cofcoaches Hal and Dan were busy in other lines. Harden also handled the base' ball team, while Farmer piloted the tennis and basketball teams. The coaches were assisted by George Mirande, who was both athletic manager and junior varsity basketball coach. As coaches of the football team, Coaches Harden and Farmer were aided by Edward Jerk Smith, in his capacity as the jack of all work and no play, the senior manager. Ed was in turn assisted by his junior manager, Billy Rose, and the frosh manager, Bill Rowlands. Manager of the varsity and jayvee basketball teams was Al Cartwright, assisted by Charles Marf tin. The track team was fortunate in having Don i I BLOCK S Row ONE: Shreeue, Ebert, Mirande, ,lonesg ROW TWO: Farmer, Rosen, Bogclanoff, English, Harden, ROW THREE: Oueletre, Rose, Chandler, Glavich, Sornmers, Atkinson, Abbey, Beseman, Thompson, Turner. Amos as manager, while ,lack Hulbert directed both the varsity and intramural tennis destinies. These managers were responsible for hundreds of dollars worth of equipment during the season and besides were responsible for arranging schedules and keeping courts and fields in condition for games and practice. Due to their ability, there was not a serious slipfup all year. They will be awarded their block S at the end of the term. Actual leaders among the players were: Captain Bill Harkness, leader of the football team, Hal Besef man, captainfelect of the 1937 pigskin squad, Cap' tain Cy Atkinson of the basketball teamg Ronnie English, undefeated in intercollegiate tennis during three years at State, and Hal Wood, sensational flychaser of the baseball team. Harkness was the triplefthreat man of the Cater, and will return to the eleven next season. Atkinson was consistent highfpoint man on the casaba squad, and broke the school scoring record. Wood was one of the outstanding ball players, being one of the leading hitters and fielders. fErnie Miguell GEORGE MIRANDE Athletic Manager, night' watchman, teacher, and coach of ,layvee and Flying A baslqeteers.

Not so much because of games won or lost has it been successful, but because State has continued to stride forward in the world of sports, to its ultimate destiny when some day the purple will stand shoulder to shoulder with the blue and gold of California and the red of Stanford. Foremost in State's athletic year was the acquisif tion of a field. For once the men of the Cater teams can meet their foes on a gridiron and a diamond which they can call their own. The new plant at 15th and Valencia streets did not have tall grey walls of stone or an expensive club house, but State teams called it home, our own Roberts Field. Sometime in the future, when money is available for work, San Francisco State will have a modern well' equipped athletic field. The pigskinners had the honor of playing the first game at the new stadium when they turned back the Mare Island Marines. Then on October 9th, with civic officials present and five thousand spec' tators jamming the stands, the field was dedicated to the success of purple and gold teams, and in honor of the college president, was named Roberts Field. That night the football team was hostf?l to its city rival, the San Francisco lunior College Ram. The Iaysee was slated to win in easy fashion, but with the dedicatory speeches still ringing in its ears, the Golden Cater team made the evening complete by making L'goats of the Jaysee Rams. The State eleven, mainly composd of freshmen, ended its sea' son with a record of two wins, one tie, and three losses. The athletic year went on with the basketball team registering its best season, with fifteen wins against only five losses, including series sweeps over Menlo, California Aggies, and Fresno State. The highlight of the baseball season was State's surprising victory over a powerful University of Santa Clara nine by a 15f9 score. The track team, having lost many of its stars of the previous year, began to rebuild and started out on a campaign which bade ill to its foes. It is undef feated, with only one meet remaining, as we go to press. The tennis team, although not as unbeatable, had the honor of being State's Hrst athletic team to be entered in a sport league or conference when the racqueteers joined the newly formed Northern Cali' fornia Intercollegiate Tennis Association fall thatlj. The team failed to sweep any of its matches, although, thanks to Ronnie English, it was never completely shut out. fBy Bill Rosej SAN FRANCISCO STATE COLLEGE , O fPage One Hundred Twentyfeiglnj . . 30014 FIVE FEATURES 0, with our journey nearly complete, we come to the Hnal hook.

Stanley Sieber was appointed business manager of the book. He took oflice in January, 1937, and, with assistance from Hal Widney and Steve Ebert, put the financial status of the volume on a firm basis. New to annuals of collegiate calibre is the photogravure work of the opening section. Represenf tative of press work of the highest sort, both press and ink are of European importation. This work BOOK has appeared in no other college annual on the Pacific Coast. Thus the 1937 FRANCISCAN represents the ultimate in finanf cial achievement. Published at half the cost of former annuals, it nevertheless still contains all of the essential material condensed into a somewhat smaller volume. Quality as well as quantity was the goal.

He was high scorer with 16 markers. Badly clawed by Chico Wildcats, 84f47, the Staters nevertheless broke three meet records. Kuder, Hopkins, and Shreeve exceeded former marks in the mile, high hurdles, and two mile respectively to be the bright spots of an otherwise onefsided affair. The Block S nine took the intramural baseball title by taking the Golden Cater squad into camp after beating the Newman Club in the semif finals.

The only ones standing aloof from publicity were candidates for the board of publication directorship, none of whom particularly cared who got the job. Speaking of publications, as we go to press tonight finally fMay 105, we are told that the new editors chosen by the Board of Publications will be Cliff Worth, for the Gatefr, and Bill Buchan, for the 1938 annual.

We hope the next annual reports successful results. fPageO H dF ty A Ci NOWLEDGMENTS Publication of this book is novv completed, but our thanks to those who made it possible can never end.
