HAROLD IVIARTIN The man behind the neu-us. Dublin Relations Alumni of San Francisco State Who Have Made Goodf if and when it is ever published, will necessarily have an honor position dedi- cated to Harold Martin, State's Director of Pub- lic Relations. Taking over the department when it was first organized in 1956, Martin has since spent his entire time publicizing the college through press releases, photographs and publicity stunts, in building his department into the most effective college news dispensing agency in the San Fran- cisco Bay Area. From a few scattered stories written by stu- dent journalists, State's publicity has grown into thousands of column inches of copy, thousands more of pictures, innumerable wire releases Cin- cluding several that reached such news organs as Time Magazinei. Beside handling the purely publicity side of State's activities, Martin has been augmenting his own department by coaching and managing golf, editing with Ed Pierce the Alumnus. aid- ing in the building campaign, taking all action shots for the Franciscan and Gater. The Alumni Association It was in 1932 that the first male students registered at the college, and it took over eight years of male prominence in undergraduate af- fairs before an alumnus could win out over an alumna and become president of the San Fran- cisco State Alumni Association.

Interest in undergraduate sports and other activities strengthened, with the asso- ciation under the newly elected president, Ted Goldman fsee Football 2, sponsoring Homecom- ing Day, presenting a trophy for the winner of the Chico football game, holding the first an- nual Alumni-Varsity track meet, followed the next week by a doubleheader baseball game.

Yell-leaders Bee Cleary, Bill Abbey, Lillian Kaplan practice a few gyratiom before a rally in ibe Bowl, The Yell Klnqs It was not long ago that State rooters attending athletic contests were greeted by the incongruous sight of no less than five yell-leaders Cthree male, two femalej pranc- ing through yell-enticing gymnastics before an assembled body of only several hundred students in a grandstand less than eighty feet long. To protect the student body from the paradox of yell-leaders that would be able to outshout the entire rooting section, the new Constitution of the Associated Students provides for only three yell-leaders Ctwo female, one maleb. From the playing field, through profes- sional baseball and ineligibility for further amateur sports came Bill Abbey, former Golden Tide baseball and football great, to take over the reins as head yell-leader. Adver- tising the Abbey Abyss as containing the most powerful lungs on the campus, Abbey won the honor of wearing Student Body purchased white llannels, conducting rallies, appointing Bee Cleary and Lillian Kaplan as assistants. l2allu Talent Parade Although football rallies were few and far between last fall, the rest of Statels year saw no sparsity of student body pep meetings.
