V If you think the on-campus nan shcrtage of orld War II was unique, take a lock (eft) at the graduating class of 1908. You ' ll note the 1946 co-ed has it all over the 1908 model for looks, too. Lower left, the second building in the San Jcse State College series was made of brick. Therc ' d be no second fire, the rberd cf Trustees vowed. And there wasn ' t. The great earthquake of 1906 shook it apart so that it had to be torn down. Lower right, the famous old Training School building, v.hich was a part of the Campus until I 937.

The NORMAL PENNANT, far left, was the forerunner of La Torre and Lycurgus. In 1946 the ads packed more punch than the stories. Lower left, the gals used to turn out for seme very special clambakes on the brand new quad of the brand new earthquake-proof and fire- proof building. Upper right, the old Co-Op looked like this. Middle, the State College Times, a weekly, and forerunner of the Spartan Daily. Be!ow, it comes as a surprise to many a 1946 Spartan to learn that the Southern Pacific tracks ran down Fourth street in front of the College. Los Angeles-bound trains used to w-h-i-z-z by, while occasion- ally one stopped to pick up a trav- e ' ing football team. |ra! State College Times Extra!
