Nineteen hundred fifty-four marks the transition from the old to the new campus. From a small two-story building on Pacific Heights to our present IS million dollar new campus, San Francisco State has become one of the leading educational institutions in the country. Dr. Frederic Burk, our first president, guided the primary function of training elementary school teachers at San Francisco State Normal School in 1899. The quake of ' 06 destroyed our school at Pacific Heights. The following year we set up headquarters on Buchanan Street. During 1920, a series of legislative acts and State Board of Education decisions expanded our functions and in 1921 we changed our name to San Francisco State Teachers College. We began granting A.B. degrees in 1923. In 1930 all teacher training curriculum was extended to four years. In 1945 we were authorized to give secondary credentials. A legislative act of 193S changed our name to San Fran- cisco State College and our liberal arts program began to expand. In 1949, we started to grant Master ' s degrees and in 19 54, we find our home on the new campus. The 1954 Franciscan — published by the Associated Students of S.in Francisco Stjtc College.

In October, we will formally dedicate our new campus thereby realizing the dreams of the faculty and students who have preceded us during the 5 5 year history of this college. We have, at long last, found our permanent home. The pages of this book contain the cherished memories of our past and the excit- ing promise of our future.

The Deans ' Committee and the Asso- ciated Students mutually estab- lish the regulations which govern the recognition of new students ' organizations on campus. This is ' out one example of the many occasions on which the Deans Committee and the Associated Students work in close coopera- tion. The Deans ' Committe consid- ers such items as the college cal- endar, the interpretation and en- forcement of California State Educational Code, and problems related to student admissions. Student permanent records and student activities are also the con- cern of the Deans ' Committee.

Inaugurating the season in a fashion that would make any team look destined for high laurels San Francisco State aerialed past Cal Tech 52-0. Maury Duncan, Gator quarter- back, engineered the victory by completing 7 of 1 1 passes for a net gain of 1 78 yards. End George Wehner accepted most of Duncan ' s passes for three of the eight touchdowns. When Duncan wasn ' t passing, Harry Bre- mond was putting on a sparkling display of open field running. Bremond ' s paydirt runs of 50 yards in the second quarter and nine and 22 yards in the fourth quarter helped him gain 125 yards for a 20.1 average and put the final touch on Cal Tech. A 15 -yard pen,ilty against Moffett Field m the last minute of play gave S.F. State a first down on the Flyers ' one-yard line from which Duncan went over on a quarterback sneak to break a 13-1. tie and give the Gators a 2 0-13 victory. Cal Poly, who gained league championship, gave the Gators heir first taste of defeat, 45-14. Behind a staunch forward wall Cal Poly backs gained 592 yards rushing. Al- though Duncan passed for 260 yards his efforts could only be placed together in the first quarter for one touchdown. Three pass interceptions at crucial mo- ments helped Chico State defeat the Gators, 13-0. Duncan was hampered by an alert de- fense and gained only 89 yards passing while backs Walt Gomez, Harry Bremond, and Rudy Smith were held for 6.2, 2.3, and 2.3 averages respectively. Although outgained in passing and rushing Chico ' s alert defense insured their victory. In the first quarter Frank Ferraulblo intercepted Duncan ' s pass on Chico ' s twenty and went 60 yards, from which Hal Higgins passed for the first and only needed touchdown. Duncan ' s passing gave the Gators then- third win of the season over Pepperdine, 13-6. Midway into the first period Duncan flipped a 30-yard pass to Wehner on the ten, George ground the rest of the way for the first score of the game. With both teams playing a de- fensive game the Gators didn ' t score again until the third quarter when Harry Bremond climaxed an 80-yard drive by plunging over from the five-yard line. Substitute halfback Littleton Cook went for three touchdowns and quarterback Maury LITTLETON COOK Back GEORGE WEHNER End TONY FARDELLA End BOB FOOTE Tackle ROY NONELLA Tackle DON SLATES Guard JERRY HARPER Center r TOP; Who is it? Th« opposition, of course, Walt Dromond bites the dust in the Cal Poly game. State lost 45- 1 4. 1 Duncan booted four for four conversions which was just enough to give the Gators a 28-27 victor) over Nevada. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way. After Dick Nave bucked over from the six, Nevada ' s quarter- back, Ed Jesse, passed his team to the one and tied the game on a quarterback sneak. Two minutes later, Rudy Smith took a 14-yard pass from Duncan and lateraled to Cook who went all the way. Nevada had a 20-14 lead going into the fourth quarter but Cook ' s runs of 24 and six yards and Duncan ' s toe were enough to edge the Wolfpack. Fresno State outclassed the Gators, 41-27. George Fisch and Winston Beasley led the Bulldogs ' running attack. Leading 20-14 at the half Fresno State put the topper on in the third quarter with runs of 47 and 69 yards by Beasley and Fisch. Harry Bremond scored the Gators ' first two touchdowns in the sec- ond quarter via a two-yard plunge and then gathered in a S2-yard pass from Duncan for the other. Rudy Smith had some fun for him- self in the fourth quarter with runs of I 3 and 65 yards for the other two touchdowns. S.F. State climaxed the season with a 26-13 celebration of homecoming at the expense of Santa Barbara. The situation was never in doubt as the Gators grabbed a fast 13-0 lead and were never seriously threatened there- after. Harry Bremond started things off early by returning the kickofF 89 yards for a touch- down. Duncan passed 21 yards to George Wehner for the second touchdown before Santa Barbara got on the scoring column. Wehner scored the final two touchdowns on an 11 -yard end around and a pass from Duncan. Maury Duncan and George Wehner copped All-Coast honors for the season.

Losses at the hands of Menlo. Reedlcy and Stockton were overshadowed by the younj; Ciators ' triumph over the College of Marin. Coach Don Clare ' s Ja ' vees combined a strong ground attack with ilic aerials of Marv Tolson to come from behind against the Mariners. Captain Welton Moore, N ' ince Rafcllo, and Izzy Galente, operating behind a hard- charging line, punched over a fourth period touchdown for the 19-13 win. Inexperience and lack of reserves contributed considerably to the Gators ' setbacks acReediey and Menlo. The Jayvees battled both teams on even terms through the initial half, but wilted in the final periods. Stockton College, one of the top J.C. ele cns in Cali- fornia, completely outclassed the locals. The aforementioned Rafello, Moore, Galente, and Tolson were outstanding performers throughout the season. Brilliant line play by Tom Leonard and Dick Tom, a pair of light but aggressive tackles, Warren Miback, and Bob Boehrer also contributed to the success of the Jayvees. Floyd Gonella served as Clare ' s assistant coach. 3 i4tM  l y X} i ' V d ' tv ' o M • Q AL OESIN MAURY DUNCAN GLTOEN MAYFIELD DAN CALDWELL JACK MORGAN BASKETBALL State ' s b.iskcib,ill team cinic close enoufjli to the Tar West- ern Conference championship to smell it, bill faltered in the stretch as the fates caught up with them. The Gator capers were off to a j loomy start when they lost their shooting ace, center Bob Leibe, due to an early- season ineligibility ruling. Coach Dan Farmer rebuilt and rounded the Gators into a winning team by the time con- ference games rolled around. Picked for no better than second place in pre-season pre- dictions, the Gators surprised in early season by handing a double beating to Sacramento State, league favorites. Had luck still followed the Gators, however, as they lost two more first-line men in the persons of guards Gene Busby and Robert Johnson. Undaunted, Farmer ' s quintet rolled over opposition until they acquired an 8-0 record in league competition. The Staters needed only to split two games with Chico State in the final week of the season to assure themselves of the crown. Dame Fortune finally caught up with the (Jators in Chico, and they dropped two contests in a row, 69-50 and 77-5 8. This necessitated a sudden death play-ofl game on State ' s home court, which the Gators lost in the waning minutes of the contest, 67-60. Senior center Al Desin entletl up as team high scorer with .194 points. Senior forward Glyden Mayficld was elected captain of the team, while freshman Henry Fort was voted the most improved pl ayer. Probably the least spectacular and most underrated mem- ber of the squad was senior guard John Uurton. Primarily a playmakcr, he had the best shooting percentage on the club. BACK ROW.

Other players who did their share in many of State ' s vic- tories were Dan Caldwell, Willie Dunbar, Noel Mertens, and Jack Morgan. UJ CO A highly successful winning season marked this year ' s JV Gator basketball team. Boasting a good first-line club and a strong bench reserve, the Gators were hard to beat. Among the more outstanding players were center Warren Hagberg, guard Ron Rosen- berg, guard George Kata) ' ama, and forwards Bob O ' Choulc. Dale Salsbury and Frank Verducci. Al Fioresi, an outstanding prep Catholic high school star while at Riordon in San Francisco, was promising in early season, but had to drop out because of financial obli- gations. Another good prospect, Stan Kroner, followed the same path. Other men on the team who played creditably were Chuck Hernandez, guard or forward; Bill Brudney, guard; and Don McQuaid, forward. Katayama was probably the most sensational player on the squad and was reported to be the best future varsity material. Rosenberg and O ' Choule may also crack the varsity lineup next season off this year ' s J ' performances. Ir SOCCER After an auspicious start. Coach Art Bridgnian ' s soccer team fell into a slump from which they never entirely recovered. The Gator seasonal record in the Northern California Soccer Association included two wins, seven defeats, and a tie. The Purple and Gold stunned a favored Stanford eleven in the season inaugural, 2-0. Captain Frank Verducci and aggressive Herb Anderson provided the offensive spark, while a superb defense held Ail-American Charlie Andrews and his highly regarded mates in check. The University of San Francisco, perennial N.C.S.A. champion, handed the Bridgman Hooters their first setback, blanking the locals 3-0. Before the Gators could recover they had absorbed defeats by California, Stanford, City College of San Francisco, and a second loss at the hands of the talented Uons. Herb Anderson kicked the only goal as the Gators shut out Santa Clara, whom they had previously tied, in the finale, 1-0. John Barrie, Verducci and Anderson were All-Conference selections. The latter was the top scorer with four goals, followed by Bob Quattrin with three. M.t 9. % 25 CO w kV jii ' ii I BACK ROW. left to right: Coach Hal Harden. Maurice O ' Roke, Jack Blendinger.

In a twelve-meet schedule which was designed for a season of stiff competition, Coach Hal Hardin ' s young ssvim team met San Jose State, California JV ' s twice, Fresno State, Treasure Island twice. College of the Pacific, Oakland YMCA, Sacramento Jr. College, Sacramento Elks, and California Aggies. Members of the team were: Bob Northcutt, a two-year veteran in the sprints; Jose Angel, a one-year vet in the sprints and 220; Larr ' Soderman, a one-year vet in the 220 and backstroke; Wally Macomber, backstroke; Bob Pickens, backstroke; Vernon Richard, breast stroke; Ben Elkus, one-year vet in the sprints; Larry Fagan, diver; Todd Fleming, diver; Jim Duval, backstroke; Ralph Estupinian, freestyle; Jack Blcndiger, freestyle; Henry Black, freestyle; Pete McCann, backstroke, 440; Fred Cumming, distance and 440; Morris O ' Roke, freestyle; and Jim Lucas, breast stroke. The team was hampered by the loss of two-year veteran Norm Cady who was out at the beginning of the season with a sinus infection. Coach Harden had counted heavily on Cady to come through in the individual medley and freestyle. 9 v i,;- ! - ■ . .. 1 V li State ' s wrestlers h.id their tips and downs this past season, but won entnii;li matches and had enough sidelights to present anything but a dull schedule. Probably the greatest attraction any Ciator wrestling team ever had was blind matman Bill Schmidt. Not only did the M7-pound sophomore win matches, but he also gained national attention for both himself and the school. Schmidt first made a him for Sportsvision, a regular weekh ' sports tilm sho ' n up .md down the Pacific Coast from San Diego to Alaska. Other men on the team who grappled favorably were ' crn Richard, 123 pounds; Fred Chew, 1. 7 pounds; Bill DortH, 147 pounds; Ed Miller, 147 pounds; Bob Watt, 157 pounds; Claire Parsh, 177 pounds; Mason Brown, 177 pounds; Ben Northrup, 167 pciunds; Bob l.cith, 177 pounds; and F,d Tomasello, heavyweight.

San Francisco State completed a very successful season after facing one of the toughest schedules in the history of the school. Coach Bill Kaufman ' s speedsters went up against Santa Clara Youth Center, San Jose State and Santa Clara Youth Center (a tri-meet), California Aggies, Nevada, California Poly, College of the Pacific, Chico State and Sacramento State (another tri-meet), and then entered in the San Jose Invitational, and the Far Western Conference meet at Davis. Some of the outstanding men of the season included: Fred Berensmeir in hurdles; Larry Conover in the discus; Al Desin, high jump; Oreese Elmore, sprints; Herb Franklin, javelin; Milt Kelly, 440; Jack Landers, hurdles; Tom Leonard, mile; Levi Mason, high jump and hurdles; John Mathis. high jump; Bob Moniz, javelin; Welton Moore, half-mile; Virgil Owens, sprints; John Bologna, shot put; Bob Burestero, shot put; Gary Quick, half- mile; Jim Shettler, distance; George Von Arx, discus and shot put; and Bob Hulsebus, pole vault. 28 n nr o—r -4 A ■ ' _Vc- V • SAN FRANCISCO STATE ' S nA VARSITY TRACK TEAM.

Despite the loss of almost an entire outfield, which in- cluded Stan Fabiano. voted most inspirational player of last season, and Norm Harris, who captained the team last year, both of whom signed professional baseball contracts, and every pitcher except Joel Heckmann, the Golden Gators of Coach Dick Boyle still managed to field a representative San Francisco State baseball team. Fortunately for the Gators, their lone remaining pitcher, Heckmann, was their best pitcher. Heckmann turned in one fine performance after another and was backed strongly by big Lefty Clint Lee. Other twirlers who performed capably were righthanders John Kalerber, Elmer Clausen and Dexter Jones. Rugged Sal Lend handled the big mitt which received Gator pitches, while freshman Tony Canizzo saw plenty of action while backing up Lenci. The infield found freshman Jerry Rosenberg at first, vet- eran Lou Rosso at second, another vet, hardhitting Russ Rounavaara at shortstop and hustling Bob Quatrin, a return- ing sophomore, at third base. In the outfield were Ron Rosenberg, sophomore brother of the first baseman; slugger Bob LaCosta, a converted in- fielder, and Stan Korich, another infielder converted to the outer pastures. CROSS-COUNTRY The most ambitious distance team in the history of the school was led by Jim Shettler. Jim placed first for the Gators in every meet and paced the locals to their lone victory over Santa Clara Youth Center. Other meets included San Jose State, Fresno State, Cal Poly, and Modesto. Backini; up Shettler were Gary Quick, Warren I ' airbanks, Pete Thorp, Welton Moore, and licrt Phillips. The team was coached by ' 52 team captain, Hal Grant.

The Gators won six while drop- ping the same number in Division Two of the Northern California Water Polo League, comprised of the Olympic Club, California Jayvecs, and Santa Clara. A double overtime victory over the Olym- pic Club produced the most thrilling tilt in the annals of the local pool. Co-captains Norm Cady and Bruce Duncan, along with Norm Stupfel, a three-year letterman, led the spirited (jator septet to a 6 to 5 upsec over the experienced Olympians in a real thriller. The following pla} ' ers earned letters: Bruce Duncan, Norm Cady, Norm Stupfel, Larry Soderman, John Schmitt, liob Long, Clark Vilas, Jose Angel, Bill Bunting, Jim Dirksen. Jim Fisher, Dan Matarangus, Wally Maconi- ber. Bob May, Bernie Selna, Ron Crawford, Len Lundgren, and Robert Saville. FENCING Although the fencing team got off to a rather slow start, they improved consider- ably with added experience. Under the tute- lage of Mr. Frich I ' unke-dT.gnuff they were able to show well throughout the second half of the season. Losing their first two matches to power- ful California and Stanford, they were able to use well the talents of the backbone of the team, Al Dorius, Barry Curran, and I lerb Holman.

Boxing Coach Bob Troppman suffered two early season blows that would have crippled an average team when he lost Bob Carrillo, Northern California Intercolleg- iate Boxing Champion of 19S3, and Jerry Harper, a rugged 17 -pounder who Tropp- man considered as his best prospect, both to the Marines. Another loss, this one being in the form of stylish Dick Greggorio, Harper ' s best replacement, seemed to doom the fortunes of the Gator Boxing Team. Despite these losses, Troppman managed to turn Vic Viviano, a rather obscure re- placement in early season, into the surprise of the Gator boxing season. Viviano turned in three straight early season knockouts and continued in good form. Ashberry Butler, Willie Couthcr, and Viviano won Northern California Cham- pionships in their weight divisions, as S.F. State tied San Jose State College for the top boxing college in the tournament held at State. J TIT ' ■. Coach Dan Farmer ' s tennis players rack- eted their way to another successful season this past year as they once again proved to be fine representatives of San Francisco State ' s Gators. For the second straight season Uick Axtell was rated the number one courtman. Axtell was the leading player in 195 5 and repeated this season. The nimble racketeer, as top Gator player, met the best performers of opposing colleges and performed capably in all matches. Another top contender who vied for honorr with Axtell was returnee Stan Altschuler. One of the outstanding players in ' 55, Alt- schuler further increased his skill to the point where he contributed much to the success of the team. Rated high on the list of center court men was Sam Lipman, a scrapp) ' player who possessed plenty of tennis know-how. Lipman did much to strengthen the squad. Eric Spickerman turned out to be one oi the bright new additions to grace the home courts. Coach Farmer labeled him in pre-sea- son as a first class player, and Spickerman did his best to prove it. He possessed speed and power, both of which were necessary to place him among the upper bracket player. LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach Dan Farmer, Stan Alfih ' iler.

Boasting at least six top-notch golfers, the Ciators proved to be one of the top teams in California. So close together were the talents of the players that medalist honors were shared by every one of them at one time or another during the course of the season. The Gators were off to a good start when they beat the University of San Francisco, 17-10, the first match of the season, and then went on to smother Cal Aggies, 26 ' i-Ii. From then on, the Staters were hard to beat. I ' op men on the team were Bob Moni , a I ar Western Conference Champion in 195 1 before he went into the service. Monte Nevis, inston Howe, Dick Kucich, Ken Blair, (ieorge Stern, Bill Grant, George Schaudra and Martin Kllgaritf. Jerry Johnson also showed up well.

Paul Walteri, 33 CO V S t ' -i; Coach Bob Troppmann, in conjunction with Intramural Directors Bill Harkness and Art Bridgman, promoted one of State ' s all-time greatest athletic presentations, a Boxing tourney that drew 74 entries in three divisions. Among those crowned before a huge crowd at the fistic finals were Dick Kelley, Bill Roay, Vic DeGregorio, Doug Whitely, and Jim Guinn. w H ■iS?7« -l Delta Phi Gamma ended the East Bay Athletic Club ' s reign as All-Sports champions and I- ' rank Vcrducci was selected as the Intramural Athlete of the lall Semester to high- light the 19S3-S4 Intramural program. Delta Phi, under the able leadership of Meredith Grubbc, Gary Allyne, and Ron Rosenberg, copped three team crowns and finished second in the remaining three events, as they dethroned the perennial titleliolders from across the Bay. The versatile Verducci, who was named on the All-America Soccer team earlier in the year, was a unanimous choice for the top athlete award. The rugged fraternity lads ran oft with laurels in I-ootball, Swimming, and Badminton, and came within a single digit of annexing the casaba crown, which was won by the unheralded Frosh Comets. A high school Playday including every high school in the Bay Area, highhghted the 1953-54 Women ' s Athletic Association Program. Other events sponsored by the W.A.A. included an Inter-Sorority volleyball tournament and an Intercollegiate Sports Day. W.A.A. officers were Diane Fratus, president; Vince Contrero, vice- president; Barbara Ibsen and Dolores Hannah, secretaries; and Pat Her- rick, treasurer.

College Hall San Francisco State College cele- brates its 5 5 th anniversary this year. In 18 99, Dr. Frederic Burk insti- tuted San Francisco Normal School on Powell Street. In H years the college has grown from a two-story brick building to an eight-building, 15-miUion dollar campus surround- ing the upper shores of Lake Merced. The theme of the 19 54 Franciscan is Transition. The transition from the old campus to the new. We have attempted to carry out this theme with a complete pictoral review of the college from its inception to the present time. The pictures on pages 49 and 50 depict San Francisco State as it looked through the camera ' s eye in the 1920 ' s. We want to extend thanks to Mr. Ray N. Doyle, Public Information Officer, and Miss Florence Vance, Registrar, without whose help we could not bring these pictures to you.

Heading a staff of five commis- sioned and five noncommissioned officers is Colonel John Hardy. The purpose of the R.O.T.C. is to train students for Air Force commissions upon graduation. The numerous clubs within the R.O.T.C. include the Drill Team, Band, Singing Cadets, Rifle Team, Flying Club, Arnold Air Society, and the intramurals group. The Fly- ing Club, under the jurisdiction of R.O.T.C. personnel, is open to the entire school. The program for this year was highlighted by the observation of S. F. State ' s R.O.T.C. by exchange- cadet officers of the University of California and San Jose State and the yearly inspection of the program by officers of the Air University in Ahibama. There were three social events during the year. Their Christmas dance was held December 1 5 at the Piesidio Officers ' Club; and an Air- to-Rec play night was held March 27. This year ' s annual R.O.T.C. Ball was held at the Claremont Hotel May 1. The R.O.T.C. climaxed the year by commissioning a representative group of cadets into the Air Force. 53 The Wing is formed.

Homecoming dance Homecoming ' 5 3 was sparked by the crowning of Joey Castclein as Homecoming Queen by Bert Phillips at the combination rally and variety show on Friday night. Saturday, State alumni were greeted for the hrst time from the new campus. A tour of the campus was conducted in the late afternoon, and was fol- lowed by the annual Alumni dinner, one of the most successful events of the week end. State defeated the Gauchos of Santa Barbara 26-13 before 3,000 students and alumni in the Homecoming game. The week end of festivities was climaxed by the Home- coming dance, held in the new gym.

The first day of Homecoming ftitiviftei was highlighted by the Third Annual Cross Country Invitational meet- The 3,3 mile race, won by State graduate student Walt Boehm in a time of I7:l . was held during a severe rainstorm. June in January was the theme of the 1954 Junior Prom, held Satur- day evening, January 16. The affair was held at the California Golf Club on El Camino Real in South San Francisco. The Juniors, headed by class president Jack L nch, opened the dance to all students, and it was a tre- mendous success. Ray Hackett led his well-known band for the semi- formal occasion. Other members of the Junior Class Council responsible for the Prom were the vice-president, Joanne Klein, and secretary-treasurer, Pat O ' Don- nell. Members of the Prom committee were Diana Picchi, Pat O ' Callaghan, Lois Frishetti, Hal Spady, and Willie Brown. Patrons for the dance were Drs. J. Paul Leonard, John H. Butler, Reginald Bell, John L. Bergstresser, Leo F. Cain, Alice P. Breslow, John S. Hensill, Dorothy E. Wells, Dean and Mrs. Alan Johnson, Miss Jean Bunnell, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Belliman. JUNIOR PROM niniHP lii H nnimhiBHiHriHi I ., Mrs. Erna Lchan, Director of the College Food Service, opened the doors to the new College Union Dining Hall at the beginning of the fall, 1955, semester. The large and modern building, constructed by the State of California and leased to the Associated Students, houses a main dining room, which seats upwards of SOO students; a snack bar, dubbed the Redwood Room because of the redwood panelling throughout; and two smaller dining rooms, used for lunch by faculty and administration, and by students for special occasions such as Coffee Hours and large meetings. The Dining Hall is intended to be part of a future College Union building, which will house all Associated Students ' enterprises and functions. Mrr Erna Lohan, Coi:«ge Union Dining Hall M«n«qflr. COLLEGE UNION CO Bookstore employees prepare for the new semester rush. The new campus headquarters of the Stu- dent Bookstore opened in the fall of 195 3 with greatly expanded space. Miss Sally ' ilde, manager of the Bookstore, presented the students not only with a change in size but with a change in design and principle. Newly-instituted, for instance, was a self- service system in textbooks, with books arranged by courses, alphabetically, much as a library does. The entire plan, much of the moving, and most of the assembly of the new Bookstore building was the product of work of the paid staft. who worked extra hours to put the new store into operating condition by the deadline. FROSH PICNIC The Kappa Thcta Freshman Pic- nic is always the most popular affair of the season. This year was no ex- ception. The picnics are held near the be);inning of every semester at Sigmund Stern Grove, After paying a nominal admission fee of 75 cents per person the Freshmen and other Staters dance, eat free hot dogs, drink free cokes and coffee and gen- erally have a wonderful time. This function is sponsored by Kappa Theta sorority and its pur- pose is to have the Freshmen get acquainted with the rest of the school at an informal gathering. 63 B ■ ' iMf-Vi ' .tJf, t ' - , .

Other contestants included: Mike Mahan, sponsored by Bib ' n ' Tucker; Ralph Kermorian, spon- sored by Alpha Omega; Herb An- derson, sponsored by Tri-Gamma; and Karl Knuth, sponsored by Phi Lambda Chi. At the dance, titled A Night in Wonderland, couples enjoyed the familiar music of Jimmy Blass. General chairmen for the dance were Vince Petrovich and Jack Morgan, with Bill Grant and Ann Olson in charge of tickets, and Morey Segal handling the re- freshments. CAMPUS KING Sweet music from . red pi.uio .ind an all round friendly and relaxing atmosphere greeted those students who throughout this year wished to take advantage of the Gator Swamp, State ' s recreation center. Open from nine ' til three, the Swamp was a meeting place where students could provide their own recre- ation in the form of cards, ping-pong, or chatter. A variety of crowds coming and go- ing kept the center, situated south of the Student Union, busy every day. The class, containing fifty students interested in recre- ational leadership, which sponsored and di- rected special activities of the center, was .advised by Mrs. Polly Giver. %_ ' ' ' (Above) Couples relax in the gym during the annual Sadie Hawkins dance.

A noontime rally presented con- testants for the titles of Daisy Mae and ' Lil Abner. The two chosen reigned at the dance that night. CO The social season of San Francisco State was initiated with the free Regis- tration Dance sponsored by the Asso- ciated Students. It served as a get-ac- quainted occasion for new students as well as a get-together for old students. Kappa Omega and Sigma Pi Sigma jointly presented the Kick-Off Dance following States ' first football game. Kappa Theta and Delta Gamma Tau co-sponsored an after-game dance, Dragnet. A Night in Wonderland was put on by Alpha Chi Alpha and Delta Phi Gamma, featuring the crowning of a i; ' onderland King. The Sophomore Class presented the first off-campus dance featuring a costume contest. En- titled The Bohemian Ball, it was aptly held in North Beach. 70 ' J - ' i %4i L-;i  it ' irgil Gonsalves and his ' .cxtctlc, newly organized this fall, added rhythm and en- thusiasm to the rallies given throughout the year. Yell leaders and song leaders did their part well at these gatherings, and excellent entertainment was also at hand. Besides such school talent as singer Johnny Mathis, guest performers were frequent attractions. These included Pat Abbot from the Purple Onion, George Shearing, and drummer Louis Bellson, among others. Two very successful programs were given at Cal and West Contra Costa Junior College in addition to the regular Thursday afternoon r.illies. Rallies at State were held either in the new gymnasium or outside on the patio when weather permitted. Rallies such as the latter provided their own advertisement as music and yelling broke forth on the open air. Rally Commissioner Ron Rosenberg was aided by I.arry Gottcli and Assistant Activities Com- missioner Sam Agpawa. CO 71 .• ►- «w- . The January graduates bid an otScial farewell at their Senior Breakfast, held in the main dining hall of the Student Union. The 140 attending, including graduates and their guests, were met with colorful decorations following the cap and gown theme, even to diplomas. These purple-printed-on-white parch- ments were certificates welcoming graduates to the San Francisco State College Alumni Association. The welcome was given by Dan Schell, Senior Class president, who supervised the breakfast aided by Viv- ian and Lillian Rusconi. Entertainment consisted of soprano Dan-LeNoir Hosack singing This Day Is Mine, a piano rendition of Malaguena by Dean Stenberg, and Barbara Ebner pre- senting With a Song In My Heart. A greeting to the new alumni was given by Jack Healy, administrator of student affairs, and the two speakers for the breakfast were Dr. A. Lepore and Dean John Bergstresser. As a fitting finis to the affair, the State College hymn was rendered. SENIOR BREAKFAST MORE DANCES The annual Sadie Hawkins Day dance, presented by the Music Federa- tion, featured a costume contest, with prizes awarded for the best Daisy Mae and ' Lil Abner attire. A Doi;patch de- cor complete with Marryin ' Sam carried out the theme. The annual Homecom- ing occasioned the presentation by the Block S of the traditional 1 lomecom- ing Dance. Following the Santa Bar- bara game, it featured a circus theme and student entertainment. Harvest Moon Ball, the first hotel dance of the year was held at the Sir 1 rancis Drake Hotel. Hosted by the Inter-Fratcrnity-Sorority council, it was a highly successful affair. Last dance of the season Kandy Kane lane featured a Christmas theme. Put on jointly by Bim ' n ' Tucker and Alpha ' .eta Sigma, it followed the basketball game with F ' resno. The Junior Class moved off campus to the California Golf Club to present its annual prom — this year entitled June in January.

Coordinator of Graduate Studies. Designed to increase proficiency in teach- ing, the Master of Arts degree in CaHfornia state colleges is not necessarily limited to the field of education. The degree may be taken in most of the fields in which the general sec- ondary credential is given. Statistics for San Francisco State in 1952- 1953 show that a total of 317 M.A. degrees were granted during that school year. Of these, 103 were in administration, 1 2 1 in edu- cation outside of administration, and 93 in areas such as art, science, business, drama, English, music, physical education, and social science. In any one semester, between 8 50 to 900 candidates are actually enrolled in college, although more than 1,000 are listed in the program constantly. Over 1,000 M.A. degrees have been granted since the program was initiated m 19 50. Cur- rent figures seem to indicate an ever-climbing increase. More than 100 applicants filed for candidacy prior to the spring semester this year. The massive and detailed task of handling the M.A. program — that of distributing applications, processing and evaluating them — has been delegated to the Graduate Study office, the personnel of which numbers one half-time faculty member and one secretary. 76 MAMDOUH H.

The Board administers and formulates all editorial and operating policies, and appoints publication editors. It also has the power to remove editors, and serves as a board of appeal in the arbitration of disputes regarding publications. Members of the Board for the Fall, 19S3, semester were Dale Tussing, chairman; Luisa Flepper, Stu Hosman, Alice Pappas, and Dr. U il!iam DeClark, faculty adviser to Jour- nalism. Ex-officio members included Bob Horn, Golden Gater editor; Edward Hosack, Golden Gater business manager; Hal Grant, Franciscan editor; William Spry, Associated Students business manager and secretary of the Board; and John Healy, administrator of student affairs. Prior to the beginning of the Spring, 19 54, semester, the Board of Publi- cations underwent a change in structure, adding two new members to the five-man board. The Board, through the Associated Students, sponsors the semi-annual Publications Banquet, at which the names of the new editors of the various publications are announced. Editors for Fall, 195 3, were announced at the Shadows restaurant on Telegraph Hill, and Spring, 19 54, editors were named at Fisherman ' s Grotto on Number 9 Fisherman ' s Wharf.

Truman SUMMER SCHOOL AND DIVISIONS 119 SUMMER SESSION Summer session 195 3 had the for the first time full use of the newly-completed new campus buildings with the exception of the cafeteria. Summer session of- ferings included many special conferences and workshops; outstanding instructors supple- mented the resident faculty in teaching the 5,669 students who enrolled in the regular, post and off-campus sessions. Outstanding faculty groups in the country participated in work- shops this summer. Other work- shops included one on economic education, a workshop on human relations, workshop on the United Nations, aviation education, in- dustrial arts, parent education, and camping and outdoor educa- tion. A full, well-rounded course of study is offered the student, with courses available in every division. An extensive outside activity 120 program was planned by Jack Hall, activities commissioner, providinj; both educational and entertaining activities. A sum- mer lecture scries highlighted the program. It featured Dr. S. I. Hayakawa. semanticist; Norman C. Stines, authority on Russia to- day; Richard Gump, president of Gumps, and Meredith V. illson, nationally-known musician and conductor. A recreation night was held each X ' edncsday and included participation in swimming, vol- leyball, badminton, and folk dancing. Many tours were also available to student body card holders; among them were a tour of KRON television studio, the De Young museum, the Morrison Planetarium, and Chinatown. Free movies were shown on sev- eral evenings. 121 BUSINESS DIVISION The Division of Business offers training for careers of three basic types: general business and industrial professions, world business, and teaching professions. The 3 3 specialized courses offered in State ' s School of World Bu siness are unique among similar departments of other col- leges. Two main features of the depart- ment are ( 1 ) field studies in foreign busi- ness analysis and development; and (2) supervised work experience programs. The first is primarily for graduate students and gives practical field experience in specific foreign markets under the direction of a faculty member. The work experience program combines classroom study with a part-time job. in any phase of domestic or international business. The Division of Business is integrated with, and enjoys a close relationship with the business community of the Bay Area. Besides the work experience, there is an exhibit program. These attractive and edu- cational exhibits on view in the main en- trance of the new Business and Social Science building furnish the college with enriched teaching material and collaborate with the public relations work of Amer- icn industry. 122 123 CO LU With the move into their new building, the Creative Arts Division expanded to meet the challenge of its new environment. Headed by Dr. William Knuth. the division, which includes the departments of art, drama, industrial arts, music, and radio, presented the students with a wider range in curriculum from which to choose. The departments of art and industrial arts, housed in another building, offered courses de- DR. KNUTH Division Chairman 124 signed to prepare teachers in these fields, and to enable students to graduate into jobs in art and Industry. The drama department shifted into high gear with the move, utilizing the newly completed facilities to present for the first time with ade- quate facilities, a major program of productions. Radio continued its successful program of preparation of the student for a professional career, with courses in technique, production and writing for radio and television. ' ithin the all-embracing arms of the music department, the A Cappella choir, Women ' s choir, Men ' s Glee club. Opera NX ' orkshop, and the General Chorus cooperated to bring music to the entire student body. Included in the activities of the instrumental portion of the music department were the Con- cert Band and the Orchestra. The band, under the direction of Edwin Kruth and assistant conductor William Cook, took part in 45 public performances including a six-day tour of the Northern California area. With an ever-increasing schedule of activities planned for its new home, the Creative Arts division hopes for continued expansion and new dimensions for its scholastic and extracurricular program. f 1 ! .n u EDUCATION Subtlividcti into Jcpannicnts of cduc.itioii, psychology, home economics, and nursing, the general division of education is the htrgest at State. It also offers the only specialized degree in this college; the Bachelor of Educa- tion degree. Primary l- ducation is stressed, and the l rederic Hurk campus school and nursery school are available for training and demonstrative purposes. San Francisco State is the center in training for the guidance of handicapped children, and students come from many parts of the United States to enter this department. It is the only school in Cali- fornia which gives credentials for the teach- ing of the blind. One of the major innovations of the Education Department is psychological development of social foundations, and other colleges have followed by adapting this theme for use in their curricula. The guiding purpose for the Education Division, which issues the second greatest amount of credentials an- nually in California, is to turn out teachers of good character, physical fitness, with a sound background in general education, and who have qualified academically to high standards. This department, with a teaching staff of 84, is important in its endeavors to give prospective leaders and beneficiaries of society the substantial training the ' need. 128 The Physical Education Di- vision has grown considerably since 1945 when the men ' s and women ' s divisions were first es- tablished under one chairman. It has now grown to a point where 2 5 faculty members are cm- ployed in the division. Athletic teams are far from being the sole function of the P.E. department, with general P.E. activity courses, required recreation courses, training of men and women for teaching cre- dentials in physical education, the training of recreation leaders, and a research program in health edu- cation. Under the guidance of Dr. Douglas Fessendcn, who in 195 3 succeeded Dean David Cox (hold- er of the position since 1951), the department has moved for- ward toward the fulfillment of its objectives and has successfully carried out its program at S. F. State. Through its intramural pro- gram, its intercollegiate sports program, and the Women ' s Ath- letic Association, the department has been able to practice its ob- jective, that of providing a healthful, recreational activity for all students, regardless of athletic abilities, thereby includ- ing as many students as possible. CJ CO ' V Under the chairmanship of Dr. Elias T. Arnescn, the Humanities Division has increased in size with the steady jjrowth of the college. The Division is subdivided into four depart- ments, F.ngUsh, foreign language, humanities and philosophy. NX ' ith Dr. Kdward E. Cassady as head, the Eng- lish department has been set up to fit two types of students, those wiio wish a general cultural edu- cation and those wh(i intend to take graduate work in a university. The general secondary and the junior high major and minor are designed for students who plan to get their teaching credential at this college. Dr. Peter S. Presta and his staff have divided the foreign language section for two groups of stu- HUMANITIES dents: to those seeking a general cultural educa- tion, and to those who wish to enter the professions. The area of humanities serves two purposes. It provides a series of two general courses designed specifically for the General Education program, and in addition offers courses in broad areas of investi- gation that cut across the boundaries traditionally set up between the several arts, literature, philos- ophy and history. Dr. Mathew B. Evans is chair- man of this section. The philosophy section, with Dr. Alfred G. Fisk as head, aims to acquaint the student with basic problems of philosophy and the imderstanding of representative approaches to their solution. Em- phasis IS given to practical and current problems. 132 LANGUAGE ARTS The Language Arts Division is composed of the departments of EngHsh (other than English htcra- turc), speech, and journahsm, fea- turing regular and special majors in each department. Special activities of the division have been: in speech, the Speakers ' Bureau, outstanding debating and forensic team on the West Coast, sponsored by Dr. Wayne Britton; in journalism, the Golden Gatcr, stu- dent newspaper, centers around a language arts course; also in jour- nalism. Alpha Phi Gamma, national honorary journalism fraternity, re- cognizes individual achievement and ability in that field; and in general language arts, the division is cur- rently organizing a Language Arts Club. Chairman of the division is Caro- line Shrodcs. Division faculty in- cludes Donald and Bernice Biggs, Herbert Blau, Edna Bock, W.ayne Britton, Elcanore Bushncll, Barth 133 Carpenter, John Clark, William De- Clark, Richard Dettering, George Dietz, Blanche Ellsworth, Fredrik Feltham, Arthur Foff, Woodrow Hanson, Sinclair Kerby-Miller, Lowell Kindschi, Eleanor McCann, Peter Martin, Barbara Mee, Joseph Miksak, Grace Nelson, Myron Pol- lack, Caroline Shrodes, Justine Van Gundy, Antoinette Wilson, and Louise Wilson. DR. CAROLINE SHRODES Chairman, Language Aiis Dr Foff (right) talks over a short story with The Admiral. 134 J-U ; . i , i«il lir - ' . T I m ill : k NATURAL SCIENCE The Division of Natural Science includes: the biological sciences (anatomy, bacteriology, botany, general biology, physiology, and zo- ology) ; mathematics; and the phys- ical sciences (astronomy, chemistry, general physical science, geology and physics). Special curricula are clin- ical science, and prc-profcssional sci- ence (pre-mcdlcine, pre-dentistry, and veterinary science). Graduates as majors from this division are em- ployed as teachers, in medical and dental schools, industry, business, in research laboratories, and m govern- ment service. The Science building on tlic new campus, with its modern laboratories and facilities, offers un- usually fine opportunities for the student. It accommodates 8 00 stu- dents and houses sixteen laboratories, seven classrooms, and two large, thcatrc-typc lecture rooms. Chairman of the division is Dr. Stanley W. Morse. 135 SOCIAL SCIENCE The Division of Social Science is one of tiie largest and most active in the college. Composed of the departments of anthropology, economics, geography, government, his- tory, international relations and sociology, the division offers A.B. and M.A. degrees in the liberal arts program, as well as prc-professional curricula in law and social work. The division is now houscti in their new campus building, which they share with the Business Division. 137 ■ ■ ' ' 1 -9 rN .. The division faculty incliuk-s m.iny names famous among members of the profession, including Dr. Adam Trcganza, renowned anthropologist, Dr. George Outland. former Congressman, and Dr. Gerald White, editor of the national Historian magazine. Dr. Donald Castleberry, chairman of the division, is a highly-regarded social scientist. The Social Science Division sponsors many organizations and activities. The Collegiate Council for the United Nations, v ho annually send delegates to the Model United Nations conference, is sponsored by the division ' s International Relations Club. The division also furnishes many speakers for interested groups on and off the campus. 138 The General Education program is peculiar to all California state colleges. The State Board of Education has set up 4S semester units in the GE field as a fundamental part for the requirements for the Baccalaureate Degree. Of these 4 5 units, nine are allotted to the social sciences; nine to the natural sciences; six to literature, philosophy or the arts; two to health and physical education; three to written and oral expression; two to psy- chology; and the remaining 14 ma) ' be distributed in whole or in part among the six areas as listed. Before the faculty of this college defined a specific general education program which would meet the state requirements, it engaged in careful studies which covered three years of cooperative experimentation. From these studies emerged the four fundamental aims which the program of general education should attempt to serve. First, the program should recognize the basic needs of the individual as a person. Second, the program should seek to develop the student as an active in his college and community. Third, the program should seek to develop the student ' s ability to adjust adequately to the essential problems of home and fam- ily living. Fourth, the program should help the student explore the many fields of occupational endeavor and help him make a wise selection of occupation. C 3 CO CO MARY COURTNEY Miss Franciscan 1954 141 CAROL BENEFIELD Runner-up During the spring semester. The Franciscan sponsored a Miss Franciscan contest. The Queen, Miss Mary Courtney, was selected by the students on the basis of personality, beauty, humor, intelligence, responsibility, and sex appeal. Miss Carol Benefield was runner-up. Others high in the running were Barbara Ebner, Bonne Baltsen, Loretta Krebbs, Joyce Greenleaf, and Sue Benjamin. 142 FROSH ORIENTATION Oricntntion at State is de- signed to acquaint and famil- iarize new students with the college and college com- munity. The two periods of orientation this year were September 8-12 and February • 12. General Chairman George Poquette headed a busy crew of 150 students who did the planning and work neces- sary to make orientation a reality. For each group of sixty new students, there were five stu- dent advisers. Among the dif- ferent events which took place were assemblies, dances, rallies, and tours of the new campus. New San Francisco Staters were especially appreciative and impressed by the latter, for the first time seeing what 143 JOE VELARDO General Chairman GEORSE POQUEnE On-Campus ALICE PAPPAS Registration A hiqhligtit ot the Orientation Program was the Spring seme Registration dance. their future classrooms and campus offered. A special and important event in the February orienta- tion was the initiation of the Creative Arts building. For the first time the Main Audi- torium was brought into use as a gathering place for a rally and general assemblies. A feature of orientation is the overseas council, which functions to welcome and in- troduce overseas students to San Francisco State. This group is directed by Mrs. Pat Wire. Used for the first time this year, the Student Advisers ' Handbook proved ver ' help- ful to students assisting on orientation. 144 ' A c 1 J FroshCamp, 195 5, was held in the Santa Cruz Mountains at a recrea- tional area known as Asilomar-by- the-sca. Two hundred and eighty- three freshmen, guided by some twenty-five counselors from San Francisco State, found the early Sep- tember weather favorable. The program at Asilomar para- lleled the on-campus Orientation in acquainting and familiarizing the new freshmen with our college and our college community. The ente r- ing freshmen spent three days at Asilomar and during this time were acquainted with the various aspects of college life. Not only were they brought into contact with the var- ious procedures pertaining to enter- ing the college and planning pro- grams but they were also told about the dress, manners, and various so- cial customs of college students. Frosh Camp helped them to make many friends before they had even started college.
