" B enea th Old Bishop's shadow,
Our cam pus stretches fair .
' Tis bathed both morn and evening,
In beauty rar e."

Oh, I love it in the morning
When the dew is spat·kling bright,

And the sun comes o'er the mountain
Casting off the 1·obes of night.

And I love it at the noontide
When the sun is in the sky,

And the boys and girls are happy
As the cars go scudding by.

Oh, it's glorious at evening
As the sun sinks in the west,

When the sky's a blaze of glory,
Tinting every mountain's crest.

And a spirit seems to hover,
That the heart with mptu ·re thrills,

0' er the dear old Poly Campus
With its green protectin_q hills .

The _Alministration

It's the spirit of th e m en, who h ere
Are finding truth and life
In the 'l.oholesome, quiet country
Far· ft·om City's din and strife.

The President's .Message
Sitting in the president's study across the
d esk f1·om the u Little J.,f other of th e Campus/' my
thought goes out to the far-flung homes of our
boys. F1·om Alaska to J.71.1exico, from Hawaii to
Ohio , th ese homes have sent us th e ir most treasured
poss ession. What an expression of co nfidence , and
with what dev otion should 'tOe--facuLty and stu­
d ents- endeavor to measure up to expec tat ions!
My d esire is that every bo y may r eturn to thos e
a t hom e as clean and w holesome as w h en h e l eft.
Th e dormitory ex p eri ence sure/;- teaches him many
a wortlz'lohile Lesso n in sociaL !ife and co ndu ct as
'toefl as ho gained in th e sociaL sciences, music, student activi­
ties and organ izations bring out the fine r qualities
of ap p1·eciation 'loith po we rs of Leaders hip, initia­
tive and hon es t endeavor. Th ese qualities supple­
mented by a t ec hnical training in 'lt· hich theory
and practice are eq ually em phasized, enables our
bo ys not merely to p1·epare for Life but to r ea lly
exp erien ce life h ere on th e campus.
With the cooperation of thos e at home th e
boys of the present are faithfully maintaining th e
splendid reputation of thos e w ho ha ve gone before.
They will take th eir places in th e ft·ont ranks of
those who build better hom es, mak e better citizens.
and lift human industry to a higher plan e.
Sinc er ely youn.

o matter how great the skill of the editors of "El Rodeo," in this
record of the school year they will do well if they can reproduce much of
the movement and life which constitute its greatest charm. The cosmopol­
itan nature of the student body of only four hundred is truly surprising.
The differences between individuals may be great, the varieties of
interest, many, yet these serve but to add breadth and variety to campus
life. They serve, too, to accentuate the essential unity of spirit that
pervades the student body. The "Poly spirit" is traditional.
Whence comes it? I believe fundamentally from the spirit of respect
for their institution that pervades the body as a whole. They believe that
a serious effort is being made to solve their individual problems; they be­
lieve that the school is giving a type of education rare, indeed, yet sorely
needed ; they are conscious of a real respect for her standards of work and
~cholarship.

With a student body such as this it is a pleasure, indeed, to work.
The problems are many, but so are the pleasures that come to one who
can help in even a small way to solve them.
Sincerely,
Margaret H. Chase,
f.-'ia- P:·es.'de11t, Dean of tl1 e Ju11ior CollegP.

Miss Margaret Hawthorne Chase, Vice-President, Dean of the Junior College
Division, Registrar, H ead of the Academic Department, has been with The California
Polytechnic throughout most of its history, having been here since 1908.
An outstanding leader in the development of the Junior College movement in Cali­
fornia, Mi s Chase is Secretary-Treasurer of the Northern California J. C. Conference,
an::! a co ntributor to the Junior College .Journal, pioneer publication of the movement.
She ho lds the B. A. degree from Dalhousie University, Canada; M. A. in English
from the University of California; and has had graduate training in Education in
Stanford University, University of Southern California, and U. C. L. A., but her out­
standing quality is the degree of understanding of Polytechnic students which she has
developed by her years of association with them, helping them to adjust themselves to
the demands of their present school problems and their future lives. Her interest in
Poly :te- does not close when a student graduates. She is a veritable bureau of alumni
service.
All those who have had dealings with Miss Chase know her for the square shooter
and loyal Polyite that she is, and no one can imagine how he would know what to do
next were not Miss Chase's ready brain and forceful personality directing the offices in
the Ad Building.

THE JUNIOR COLLEGE DIVISION OF
THE CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC
The Junior College Division of The California Polytechnic was organ­
ized in 1927. Its establishment was due not to the desire of the institution
to keep step with other institutions that were making a similar expansion,
nor primarily, to meet the needs of the graduates of its own four-year
division, but chiefly to meet the very evident requirements of high school
graduates who were coming to the school in increasing numbers. Most of
these students came because of a desire to obtain training to fit them for
remunerative employment in occupations of mechanical or engineering
nature. They wished to obtain more technical knowledge and skill than
could be provided in even the vocational high schools yet did not desire the
highly theoretical training of university education. Many of these students
had already completed the related subjects offered in the existing four-year
course such as science and mathematics, and while they gained skill from
the vocational work, their course suffered from the lack of academic sub­
jects of college grade. Such subjects would have permitted of more ad­
vanced work along vocational lines and given them a broader foundation
for future growth.
Mr. William John Cooper, who was then State Director of Education,
on April 14, 1927, authorized the establishment of the Junior College
Division of The California Polytechnic. He not only understood existing
conditions, but was also impressed by the need of a junior college which
would specialize in vocational education and offer to high school graduates
of the State a free training for the semi-professional occupations. No
public junior college was making this its chief purpose; few of them had
the necessary equipment for anything more than elementary work of vo­
cational nature. The California Polytechnic had not only excellent shops
and laboratories, but it had also the proper atmosphere for the development
of such an institution and already possessed a corps of teachers who were
devoted to the principles and practices of vocational education.
Since its beginning, the Junior College Division has been growing
steadily and its aims have been broadening.
There are at present one hundred twenty-seven students enrolled in
the Junoir College Division. Of this number forty-seven were enrolled
previous to this year whereas eighty are new entrants this year. The
eighty to one hundred forty-seven ratio gives a fair idea of the steady
increase in the size of the division.
Two years ago there was one graduate from the Junior College; last
year there were two; this year there are eleven regular graduates, to­
gether with two additional who, although they have not completed some
courses required for regular graduation, are being awarded Special Cer­
tificates because of proficiency in special lines of work.
Pictures and activities of this, the first sizable class of graduates from
the Junior College Division of The California Polytechnic, follow.

The Junior College Sophomore Class of 1930-31 numbered forty-seven.
This class shows over an hundred percent increase in membership during
the last two years.
Collectively, the Junior College group this year has been better able
to organize and become a real force within the school. Because of additional
facilities for Junior College conveniences, conditions are adjusting them­
selves for an ideal class individualism. A real spirit of class competition
has grown from gentle indications to a real spirit of quality which has
been a directing force in Polytechnic activities.
The J. C. Dormitory, which was completed during the early part of the
summer of 1930, made a very satisfactory living quarters for the Sopho­
more class.
Because of the diversified interests in school work, the only club that
was comprised of the second year division was the Sophomore Club. This
club originated Hick's Day which came on Friday, March 13. The day, being
filled with fun and frolic, met with overwhelming success. Competitive
games for class supremacy were staged, and people from the local metrop­
olis, San Luis Obispo, witnessed the affair, declaring it to be very enter­
taining.
The school suffered from the loss of football season this year. "Polio"
had to be ousted and in so doing a very good prospective J. C. f ootball
squad had to give way to the paralyzing menace.
As the year drew to a close, hearts weakened as their owners realized
that friendships were to be broken,-that when they left, only memories
of glorious days with a glorious gang would remain.

President, J. C. I

Throughout the entire year the J. C. Freshmen have been an active
group, takng part in every activity on the campus.
Shortly after school started, we organized as a class, electing John
Costello, President; Paul Scribner, Vice-president; George Brokaw,
Secretary; and George Nehrbass, Treasurer.
The class at once turned to the task of preparing an assembly program
which was presented at Crandall Gymnasium and enjoyed by everyone.
vVe are proud to state that we were the first class to put on an assembly
this year.
The success of the clas was due to the cooperation and spirit of every
member. We hope that next year will find every one of us back at Poly.
The members of the Freshmen J. C. Class for the year 1930-31 were:
Almendinger, Balcomb, Baugham, Barbee, Barker, Bates, Blinn, Brink,
Brokaw, Bubar, Bulpitt, Burnham, J. D. Chambers, Cheney, Clifton, Con­
dray, Costello, Davis, Delidio, Diener, Dinsmore, Donnell, Eibe, Farris,

CLASS HISTORY
As Freshmen we were the largest class that ever assembled at the
California Polytechnic School, and our record has not been equaled since.
We had our regular duties of lining the football field and the Block "P" on
the hill. (Just ask us.) We were far from being unrepresented in athletics.
As Sophomores we had an unusual number of athletes and Honor Roll
students. We feel sure that no one has forgotten our Freshman Reception
Party.
As Juniors our numbers had become reduced to only seventy-five or
eighty; but with our many Block "P" men as well as club and organization
leaders on the campus, our class fulfilled its motto: "We Can, We Will."
We had a good side show at the Second Annual Block ''P" Circus held in
March.
Now, as Seniors, we are about to leave our Alma Mater; some of us
forever, and some only till September, when we will come back as Junior
College students. Due to the unfortunate epidemic of Infantile Paralysis,
we were not able to show our worth in football this year; but during basket­
ball season, we made up for it by having four out of five of the varsity
squad of the secondary division from our class. Both baseball and track
were equally well represented by Seniors.
_,
We have seen many changes in the four years that we have bee:1'.
here: a new Electric building, the Gymnasium, twJ new DJrmitories,,
Dr. Crandall's home, a turfed football field, and many new Agricultural'
buildings.

CLA RENCE ELLIOT
Jun ior Class Preside 11t

In September 1930 we entered Polytechnic as Juniors, and have been
able during the months just past to realize much of that at which we aimed.
In athletics our class has been a very large factor in making up the
school teams and still more can be expected of us.
In other activities of the year we have been equally energetic.
Now that we are soon to be Seniors we have no regrets for our past
three years, years which have been rich and full, for we have done our best
in all that we have set ourselves to do.
To the class of '33 we gladly yield our place as "Juniors," for we are
to become that which all students aspire to be-SENIORS. We only hope
that our successors will carry out as well as we have the traditions of the
schooL
To the class that goes before us we wish to extend a sincere farewell,
and to assure them that wherever they may go they have our good wishes_
To our able faculty advisers, to our officers, our committee chairm en,
and our active membership we express our sincere thanks for the interest
and the effort they have displayed in helping 'us to further our enterprises.
The following are the members of the Junior Class of 1930-31:
Harry Aldro, Kenneth Baker, Walter Barca, Robert Benshoof, Walter
Boellard, James Bogert, Robert Boon, Stanton Bryson, Ralph Buell, Don

The class of 1933 is now at the end of its second year at Polytechnic.
We remember our greenhorn state of last year with a subtle smile. We
look back at the events of the year just past with considerable pride. We
have high hopes for the years to come.
During the year 1930-31 we have been well represented in school ac­
tivities-furnishing excellent material for football, basketball, track, and
baseball; excelling in dramatics, journalistic, and musical circles.
In football Hopkins, Carroll, and Middlehurst made the High School
Varsity; while Funk, Barbaria, Hill, and Uribe showed the Old Poly Spirit
by working hard on the second team.
In basketball McLean, Hopkins, and Carroll made the team, various
others coming out for practice and taking part in the second string "Melon­
throwing.''
In publication projects we were represented by McLean and Davis ;
in Dramatics, by Sawday, Hopkins, and Chambers.
Anholm, Hill, and Roselip were in the Band; Anholm and Roselip,
in the Architects' Club; Barbaria, on the Honor Roll ; others in larger de­
partmental organizations.
The complete class roster for the year includes:
L. Alexander, G. Anholm, Barbaria, Barre, Bean, E. Barbee, Bower,
Boyer, Buss, Caccia, F . Carroll, Chong, Cor!, Dalsimer, Davis, DeForrest,

Freshman Presidenl

The Freshman Class this year consists of ninety-six students.
We all had a jolly good time at the Freshman Reception in the Crandall
Gymnasium.
By our activities in such sports as football, basketball, and baseball,
we have profited much in the way of experience and sportsmanship.
We have representatives in every field of school work. Many of these
boys are making a fine record for themselves in these lines . We have
quite a few on the Honor Roll, but we must admit that we have some in
the night study hall as well.
When baseball season came, we voted to have a Freshman team and
to challenge any of the other organizations.
Our faculty advisers were very much interested in our activities,
as were the members of our class. The roll includes:
·
Alexander, Anholm, Banks, Beaulieu, Benich, Bernardasci, Betten­
court, Bogan, Boss, Braden, Campbell, Cardoza, Carlson, Chambers, Che:la,

ALUMNI
The Alumni Association of the California Polytechnic (Central Divi­
sion) was organized in 1907. Since that time a Northern Division in
Oakland and a Southern Division in Los Angeles have been organized.
Since 1925, an idea, originated in the mind of Coach A. P. Agosti, of
having an Annual Homecoming or "Get-Together" of all the Alumni of
Cal Poly has been carried out with great success.
Each year Homecoming proves more successful than those of preced­
ing years. This year after extensive plans had been made, Homecoming
was postponed, due to the "Polio" epidemic in our county. The County
Health Officer thought it desirable to do away with all public gatherings.
Therefore we are planning for a bigger and better Homecoming next
October.
As it is impossible to keep in touch with all graduates so as to know
what line of work each is following, a complete list of the Alumni cannot
be available, but going back one year, the following is a list of the last
known whereabouts of the Class of 1930:

STUDENT AFFAIRS COUNCIL
Control of student affairs at The California Polytechnic is the province
of the Student Affairs Council headed by a student body president elected
by the student body for the period of one semester.
Other student members of the committee are the vice-president of
the student body, elected at the same time that the president is elected; the
presidents of the six classes; representatives of the following organiza­
tions: the Block "P" Club, the Poly "Y" Club, the Orpheus Club, the Junior
Farm Center, Aeronautics Club, Engineering-Mechanics Club, Poly-Phase
Club; the school cheer leader, the athletics manager, and the editor of
the Polygram.
Faculty members are the president and vice-president of the school
ex-officio and four others appointed by the president.
The Council decides all policies in regard to athletics, dramatics, oper­
ettas, school publications, and any other activities which include the stu­
dents as a whole.
For financing these activities, seven dollars a year is received from
each student, five dollars going to athletics, one and a half to the "Poly­
gram" and "El Rodeo," and fifty cents to the general fund. In return for
his money the student receives free admission to all school athletics on
the campus, a bi-weekly copy of the Polygram, a copy of the annual edition
of "El Rodeo" and the benefit of many student activities, such as dramatics,
music, and social affairs.

THE POLY Y ASSOCIATION
An organization which is the only of its kind on the campus, w:1ich
believes in creating, maintaining, and extending throughout the school
and community high standards of Christain character is Poly-Y.
Clean Living, Clean Scholarship, Clean Speech, and Clean Sports are
the logans of the Poly-Y.
Our programs have touched many different fields. We have discussed
world brotherhood, etiquette of public speaking, parliamentary drills,
and also have held gym programs. Through the efforts of the Poly- Y,
the Gym was opened every Friday and Saturday night during the first
emester and Saturday nights during the second semester.
With the assistance of Merle Waterman, Tri-County Y Executive,
we have made the year very uccessful. \Ve also had greatly appreciated
a sistance from Dr. Crandall, Captain Deuel, Mr. Thampson, Mr. Funk,
and Mr. Ball.
Richard Jackson and Bernard Casner represented Poly-Y at the Older
Boys' Conference held at Coronado, Kovember 28-30. A large group of
tudents and advisers represented the school at the Tri-County Older B ::~ys'
Conference which was held at Santa Barbara.
The officers are the following: Elmore Kenney, President; Reinhold
Koch, Vice-President; Paul Stanclift, Secretary; Sattley Rowland,
Treasurer.
The members are: Rowland, Gregory, Brokaw, Moody, Fuiita, Stan­
clift, Kenney, Dawson, Casner, Koch, Jackson, Miller, Knott, Houtchens,
Gilliland, Middlehurst, Eipper, Drouin, and Balcomb.

Organized in the spring of 1927 for the purpose of co-ordinating the
activities of the Journalism classes, the Printing classes, and the staffs of
the various campus publications, notably the Polygram and El Rodeo, the
Press Club has the further purposes of social activity and professional
enlightenment.
The main social affair of the Club's year is an annual Press Club
Banquet staged on the evening of the Barn Dance. For three years this
affair has been held in the Spanish Cafe. Food, entertainment, costumir.g,
and general enthusiasm are in keeping with the spirit of El Rodeo; and the
whole event is virtually a celebration of the publication of El Rodeo which
is usually off the press at about that time.
Ordinarily the Club has as guests at the banquet or at some other
times during the year outside speakers v;ho relate interesting stories con­
cerning practical journalistic experience.
This year, as a step in promoting pleasant and profitable relations with
the Press Club of the local high school, a committee was delegated to visit
that organization, and to invite them to unite with us in a joint party of
some kind.
Every year the majority of the members of the Polytechnic Press Club
journey to San Francisco or to Los Angeles for their annual Press Club
trip. In the city visited they are shown every courtesy and are taken
through newspaper plants as well as through establishments of en­
gravers, book binders, type foundries, and other industries of professional
interest to them.
The Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Los Angeles
Examiner, The (San Francisco) Daily News, the Commercial Art Engrav­
ing Co., Weber McCrea (cover manufacturers), Mergenthaler Linotype
School, American Type Foundry, National Lithographers, The John Henry
Nash Print Shop, and Brian-Brandenberg are amongst the interesting in~
dustries visited by the Club at various times.
The annual trip for this year was taken to San Francisco on the week­
end of April 9-12, at the time of the Sigma Delta Chi Convention for High
School Journalists he~d in Berkeley at that time. Thus the high school
representatives were able to add the convention to the other interesting
features of the trip .
Representatives were also sent to San Mateo to the Juni or C:.>llege'
Press Convention held there on Ap ril 25 .

The Organization of the Galley Slaves is made up of all members of
the printing classes. We are Mr. Preuss' "little devils." All of the boys
who are taking printing are students whose earnest desire is to learn the
printing trade. In our course we learn the fundamentals of our life occu­
r ation which requires a good general education and a lot of experience.
The Galley Slaves do practically all of the printing for the California
Polytechn ·c School. We r:rint all of the hand-bills for the games, the
dance programs, and a great volume of work for the office, including
tardy passes, transfer slir:s, cafeteria receipts, etc.,-as well a s printing
the bi-weekly school J:at:er, The Polygram; the annual, El R odeo; and
the bulletins of both the high school and Junior College divisions of the
school.
Included in our e q uir:ment we have three linotypes, two platen presses,
a large cylinder rress, many styles of type, and other equipment, incl uding
a m odern folding machine, a new addition this year.
During the month of March of this year we moved the Printshop from
the old location in the trees to our present light and airy quarters in
the basement of the Junior College Class Building.

The Junior Farm Center is one of the oldest active organizations on the
campus. Its activities were established in 1916 under the name, The
Agricultural Club. In 1924 a re-organization of the club was brought about
and, in conjunction with other farm centers throughout the state, it was
re-named The Junior Farm Center.
Among the annual activities which we sponsor is the barn dance which
was given shortly after the Easter vacation. This dance was unanimously
considered the best dance of the year.
Members of the club have enjoyed barbecues, swims, skating parties,
etc. throughout the year. The club took a very active part in the Poly
Circus.
The club participated in exceedingly strong competition for Livestock
honors in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Fat Stock Shows and at the
State Fair at Sacramento. Our Jersey heifer was selected at the State Fair
to be one of a herd of ten to represent the state at the National Dairy Show
at St. Louis.
The students took Champion Shorthorn Steer at the San Francisco and
Grand Champion Steer of the Junior Division at the Los Angeles Fat Stock
Show.
About one hundred and eighty ribbons and two medals were won by
the department during the last year.
The state finals for high school judging in livestock, dairy cattle,
trees, and poultry were held here in 1929 and 1930. Due to the practical
selection of stock and the manner in which these contests were conducted,
they will probably be held here again in May of this year. The winning
teams from each section of the state will meet here in competition for the
state championship. The teams taking first place will represent the State
of California at the American Royal Stock Show at Kansas City.
One of the practical problems handled by the Junior Farm Center is
the financing of student projects.
Through the project method of instruction, many of the students have
teen able to work all or part of their way through school.
Financing of these projects is handled through the Project Fund
which is State supervised and State accredited. The student keeps a project
record book for each type of project carried.
All Agricultural students are given help to finance their projects.
Th is year the students have started the following types of projects
and will carry them to completion by close of the record book school year:
Four laying hen projects, ten brooder projects, four meat bird projects,
fifteen grain projects, ten vegetable projects, ten Baby Beef projects,
twenty hog projects, and four sheep projects.

ENGINEERING-MECHANICS ASSOCIATION

C. E. Knott..................................Adviser

The Engineering-Mechanics Association is the largest and one of the
oldest organizations on the campus. It is composed of students of the
Junior College and Juniors and Seniors of the Four Year Division who are
taking engineering or mechanical subjects. Younger students may become
members by approval of the association.
This association suffered, as did athletics and in fact the whole sch ool,
from the epidemic of "Polio" in San Luis Obispo County. The organization
depends almost entirely upon its trips for a cti\·ities so sine the health
department advised that no trips be taken, the general morale and interest
in the club was noticeably injured. Consequently, the first semester '
activities were limited to motion pictures shown at two-week intervals.
Very interesting pictures were shown including on coal mining, iron ore
and the foundry proces es connected with the iron and steel manufact ur­
ing, and pictures on electrical power, its use and generation.
As the first semester drew to a close, the Jack of trips to stimulate
interest was very apparent.
With the beginning of the new semester, however, a new start was
taken. The lack of a well organized group was still noticeable.
Early in the second semester a trip was taken to the Cambria quick­
silver mine . This was a very interesting and enjoyable trip for all who
went. Every one in the group was taken into the mine. The process of
timbering the mine as well as the method of procuring the ore was very
thoroughly explained. The process of separating the metal from the ore
was also very thoroughly explained by the employees at the mill.
The annual barbecue at Atascadero Lake formall y brought to an end
the activities of the Association .
Although this was not so successful a year as was planned, under
the circumstances there can be no complaint.
As always we owe much to the enthusiastic cooperation of our fa::u!ty
adviser, Mr. C. E . Knott.

AERONAUTICS
We of the Aero Department feel that we have just cause for pattin.:;
ourselves on our respective backs. We are one of the best publicity making
and undoubtedly one of the fast growing units of the school.
Here is a brief log of our actiYities during the past year :
We started the school year off with a bang when our sport plane wJn
a cup at the State Fair. The ship was built in our school sh 8p the year
before and has attracted favorable comment ever since.
In the last week of October the monoplane caught the eyes of the
public when it took part in the California Good Will Tour. The little ship
was built here two years ago and belongs to Mr Martin Martinsen, a grad­
uate of Polytechnic, who is now a teacher in our clepal'tment. Mr. Martinen was the school's representatiYe on the tour which touched all of t he
major cities of the state.
This year we departed from the usual and spent our t:me overhauling
and rebuilding the aircraft. Up to the time that this is being written, we
have overhauled three ships, have completely rebuilt another, and ha·;e
done several small repair jobs. The rebuilding job was the Santa Maria
Flying Club Waco which was "cracked up" badly. It was delivered to us in
a heap, and we were told to make the best of it. We did, It required nine
months of labor and quite a few dollars, but was turned out practically a
new ship.
Gordon Sackett's Command Aire from Santa Barbara was brought in
for a complete overhauling. It had been in several minor accidents and was
in pretty poor condition. Several parts were renewed or repaired on the
plane and his two motors were overhauled.
Mr. Sam Watson's Waco, also from Santa Barbara, was in for a recov­
ering job. Along with this we added several small refinements character­
i tic of our shop such as putting handles on the tail to facilitate lifting,
installing a tic-rod throttle in place of the old wire one, and bracing the
center section after removing the gas tank.
The Travel-Air of the San Luis Flying Club made a good project for
our fuselage repair department. It had been damaged quite badly and
needed several of its steel tubes replaced. It was turned out in a first
class condition.
The Department of Commerce has commented very highl y on our
work, and has accepted and licensed it all.
At Easter time we took a trip, visiting all of the large factories, air­
ports, and shops at Los Angeles and San Diego.
We consider that the school year 1930-31 was a very profitable one
to us, and we are now looking forward to a "Bigger Next Year."

As the year 1930-31 draws to a clo e, we look back with many pleasant
mem:>ries on the accomplishments of the Poly-Phase Club. This Club,
organized and directed by the faculty in the Electrical Department, has
accomplished so much in its two short years of existence that it has become
one of the most active on the campus.
The Club meets every Friday afternoon and every other Friday eve­
ning. The afternoon meetings are sr:ent in public speaki1ig. Here the
tudent develops one of the necessary credentials for the executive line
in the commercial world. The evening meetings are more diversified. Here
the programs consist of motion pictures of the educational type; talks and
demonstrations by various men connected with the electrical industry;
and an occasional social jamboree to stimulate intimate relations among
the students themselves.
A delightful party was given in honor of the club by Dr. Wilder, its
founder and adviser, and Mrs. Wilder on Halloween night.
Several trips are made every year by the Club to some of the major
e~ectrical plants and units in the West.
The Club met with success at the annual Block "P" Circus where it
had on display many interesting and mysterious exhibits.
The Poly-Phase Club is retricted in membership to electrical students.
The purpose of the Club is to become acquainted with the commercial
world and to place Poly electrical students in progressive positions upon
their graduation.
Any graduate keeping in touch with and assisting the club through
correspondence or members to acquire positions is an honorary membe1·.
Honorary members for the year 1930-31 are: Gilbert Ewan, George
Campbell, George Kohler, Lloyd Werner, Raymond Boysen, Dan Wright,
William Coffer, Ralph Lawn, Lloyd Evers, Gene Kurtz, Earl Miller, Fred

THE JUNIOR ARCHITECTS' CLUB
The Junior Architects' Club was organized last year. The member­
ship is composed of the students who are taking architectural drawing.
Meetings are held weekly and different types of architecture and the fun­
damental principles of building construction are studied.
The club started the year with a week-end trip to Cambria Pines.
The first night a wienie bake was held in Mr. Bail's cabin. Two members
were initiated and many were the horrors they endured. The next day sev­
eral cabins were visited to learn the types of construction and the styles
being used. That night, after an afternoon of fishing, and a!balone
supper was held on the beach at San Simeon, several of the boys being
very successful in prying the shells off the rocks.
In January the club paid a second visit to W. R. Hearst's Spanish
Castle at Jolon. This structure afforded us a great opportunity, as it
is an unusually large project and will cost $800,000 when completed.
During the latter part of the year a trip is taken to one of the
larger cities. The trip last year was taken to Los Angeles where some
of the public buildings and homes of architectural importance were studied.
This year plans are being made for a trip to San Francisco where a
similar study will be made.
The club officers for this year are: Edward Isola, President; Ronald
Seymour, Vice-President and Reporter; Donald Chong, Secretary­
Treasurer; and Mr. Ball, adviser.

Perhaps it would be more nearly correct to say the instrumental organiza­

The officers of the Orpheus Club elected at the first of the year, are:
Dick Dale, President; Clifford Hellwig, Vice-President; and Eugene Patter­
son, Secretary-Treasurer. These officers have dischat·ged their duties ably
and well, especially the President, Dick Dale, who has worked constantly
and fathfully to carry out the trust imposed upon him by the members
of the club at his election.

The Band this year has made a most gratifying showing, and has
gained an enviable reputation not only for itself but for the school £)l"
which it has worked hard and which it has ably represented.
Our w irk
has been made a great deal easier and the appearance of the Band greatly
improved by the purchase by the school of two new circular basses to t ike
the [lace of the old uprights which we had before. The addition of a baritone saxophone has also helped to round out our instrumentation.
Our
Band now consists of about fifty pieces.
The big thing for the Band this year was our trip to Los Angees to
play for the annual Christmas Fat Stock Show. The Band men worked
earnestly to honorably represent Poly and from the many expressions
of appreciation and congratulation received it appears that they were very
successful, We marched and played in a parade through the down-town
Los Angeles which terminated in a concert at the City Hall, from which
place we went to the Union Stockyards to play for the show and rodeo.
'Ve also gave a concert at the Hotel Cecil where we stayed while we were
in Los Angeles.
Besides this trip, the Band has always been at the service of the school
for various occasions here at home. We played our part in escorting Mr.
Cameron Beck to the High School AUditorium, where he addressed an
audience composed of students from various schools in the district.
We, have, of course, taken our place in the parades and reviews
of the Battalion here at school, for that is where we get our practice. The
Band this year has helped to support the basketball teams at their games,
playing before and between games and between halves, thus doing its
part to provide entertainment
during these often dull periods.
Although plans are not yet complete at the time this goes to press,
the Band is working to hold a benefit concert in order to present the school
with a color to replace the school color which was lost some time ago.

ORCHESTRA
The Orchestra this year is one of the best we have had in several
years. In spite of a handicap arising from the necessity for scheduling
Orchestra practice after school and in other spare time, twenty or twenty­
five fellows have worked faithfully and given up their leisure time cheer­
fully that the school might have an Orchestra of which it could be justly
proud.
The Orchestra, too, has taken a very active part in the musical life of
the community. A regular part of the Sunday night service at th e First
Methodist Church is in the hands of the Orchestra, and the concerts given
at that time have brought many appreciative expressions from various
members of the congregation and visitors.
Lil.e the Band, the Orchestra has been always rea :ly to serve the sch:Joi
in any r;ossible way, and while we have not been called upon as often as
the Band, still we have done all that we could to provide entertainment at
assemblies or other places where we might be able to help.

Mr. Parker Talbot of the local Farm Bur~au Service has given us
everal opportunities for experience in performing to strange audiences.
One time in particular, when the whole Orchestra went to the Union High
School above Paso Robles to give a concert, stands out on our activity
record.
Another phase of the work of the Orchestra was the provisiOn of
various other kinds of solo and ensemble music for many varied occasions.
The Brass Quartet deserves mention in this connection, as does also the
Saxophor.e Band. Solos and duets are also provided by various members of
the Orchestra for special occasions.
Altogether, we feel that the Orchestra has not only given us many
hours of pleasant comradeship, but valuable experience in meeting and
performing before the public. Then, too, of course, we are proud of the.
reputation which we have gained for ourselves and for Poly.

THE GLEE CLUB
The Boys' Glee Club this year i making good progress under the
direction of Mr. Ricketts.
More than half of the Club is made up of raw material which requires
some patience on the part of the director.
Mr. Ricketts' work includes the training of members of the organ­
ization to read music and to do team-work in voice harmonizing both of
whch kinds of instructon help to improve the caliber of the Club.
Mrs. S. L. Hynson, accompanist, has been with the Club for the last
three years, and is always ready to help at any time.
Glee Club classes are held during the first, third, fifth , seventh, and
ninth periods on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the largest period being the fifth
when all of the other classes combine into one class.
The Glee Club members are Beutler, Carver, Palacios, and Rarick, first
tenors; Baker, Davis, Lloyd Day, Lowell Day, and Gyorgy, second tenors;
Balcomb, Campbell, Carter, Compher, De Forrest, Foote, Houston, Kawa­
guchi, Preble, Sawday, Shryock, Smith, and Way, baritones; Borah, Buell,
Cleek, Fujita, Hall, Lawn, and Miller, basses.
The Club has made very creditable appearances at several assemblies,
two notable examples of which performances were at the Memorial Service
for Edwin Hanson where they sang "Lead, Kindly Light" and other suitable
selections; and the assembly of March 11 when the Club again appeared
before the student body, singing two selections, "Dat Watermelon" and
"My Love Is As Fair As A Blossom."
As yet the Glee Club has made no public appearance aside from
assemblies, but in the near future they plan to put on programs at the
Masonic Dinner Club, at city churches, at the Spring Music Festival to be
held at the San Luis High School, and, if conditions permit, some out of
tcwn programs.
Various members of the Club are deriving additional training by taking
advantage of the opportunity to join in the activities of the Community
Choral Club which meets every Monday evening under the direction of
Mr. Ricketts.
Mr. "Rex" Ricketts is new to Polytechnic this year, but he has studied
mus;c in Kansas State Teachers' College, Ottawa University, in New York,
and in Los Angeles. He also has done conducting and harmony work under
wa:ter McCray of Pittsburg, Kansas; and has had some ten years of ex­
rerience in teaching, and in choir and chorus work. For the last two years
he has been doing r,rofessional work in and around Los Angeles and has
teen a year on the Orpheum Circuit with a male octet.
At present he is director of music at Paso Robles High School and at
the Missicn High School, San Luis Obispo, as well as at California
Polytechnic.

THE CAMPUS PLA YSHOP
The scholastic year 1930-31 was a very succesful year for The Campus
Playshop. Under the able tutelage of Miss Peterson, adviser of the club,
seven plays were presented before the student body and other audience .
The first production of the year was Amateur's Night in which a large
number of students and members of the club took part, entertaining the
student body with various vaudeville acts.
The Doctor of Lonesome Folk was presented at the Christmas assembly on December 10, 1930.
The next offering was two one-act plays, "It Isn't Done" and
"Moonshine," presented on February 11, 1931. In "It Isn't Done" Paul
Scribner took the part of the poet; Charles Chambers, of a policeman; and
Ray Hogue, of Mr. Smith, the self-satisfied small-town business man. Joel
Davis took the part of a mountaineer in "Moonshine," while Pete Armendariz undertook the role of a revenue officer.

The year 1930 brought a new dormitory to The California Polytechnic.
It is a beautiful building and harbors many conveniences over the other
dormitories.
This new building has been, during the last year, the home of a major­
ity of the Junior College students and the name J. C. Dorm Club was
selected by the charter members as an appropriate name for the
organization.
From the t ime of the inauguration of the Junior College Division at
Polytechnic, Captain Deuel has held a favored place in the hearts of th e
fellows, and they have monopolized him permanently as their Dormi b r y
Superiutendent.
When, because of the promise of a new and better dormitory, t he
Junior College men voted themselves out of Heron Hall which was pre­
viously the Junior College Dormitory, they voted that Captain Deuel and
his family should go with them into their new quarters.
In connection with the J. C. Dorm we have a large and luxurious
lounging room and it is here between the hours of four and ten-thirty on
open nights and between four and seven-thirty on closed nights that loung­
ing readers can be seen enjoying the piano and the radi o, t h e latter being a
luxury not enjoyed by occupants of the other dormitori es.
Junior College men who have been bona fid e residents of J. C. Dnrm
during the past school year are:
Arlo Awbrey, Ernest Balcomb, Eber Bangham, Clayte Barbee, Clifford
Bates, Milford Beutler, Lloyd Bowman, Paul Brink, Milton Burnham,
Delbert Chambers, William Cheney, John Costello, Edwin Crandall, Ralph
Culbertson, Joel Davis, William Dawson, Lloyd Day, Lowell Day .
James Donnell, Ted Edmiston, Howard Eibe, William Forbes, Warren

Martin C. Martinsen, a former student at Pol ytechnic and a Poly
graduate, has been a welcome resident of the Junior College D::> rmitory
during the latter part of the year.

Heron Hall was built in 1928 and is one of the newer buildings on
the camr:us. The dormitory is occupied primarily by Juniors and Seniors;
but a few J. C. men also reside there.
"The Poly Herons" is a club composed of boys residing in the Hall.
Active members are those who pay their dues and take an active part in
the meetings of the club . The Poly Herons have the dormitory spirit and
are an active club on the campus.
The Poly Herons, being one of the most active clubs on the campus,
took part in the annual Poly Circus sponsored by the Block "P" Club. As
in the past, the "Forty-Niner Camp" was put on with settings and atmos­
phere to match the time. The only difference between Heron's Forty Niner
Camp and the real camp of 1849 was that in the latter soft drinks were
served over the bar instead of the real "Pizen." The camp was very real­
istic and was a big attraction at the Circus.
In the middle of April the Poly Herons staged a dance for the Student
Body. The dance was well attended and was acclaimed one of the social
high lights of the term.
The club is indebted to Mr. Funk for his able ad\"ice and assistance
during the school year and wishes to thank him for his services.
Members of the club for the year 1930-31 include:
Aldro, Anderson, Armendariz, Barbee, Barker, Baker, Beutler, Ben­
shoof, Bogert, Brink, Bryson, Buell, Bu~pitt, Colton, Dale, Douglas, Estu­

The Dorm Club is the oldest organization on the campus, having been
organized in 1909, and is composed of the fellows living in Deuel Dorm and
others voted in by a two-thirds majority . Deuel Dorm is named in honor
of Captain Deuel who is now li ving in the new J. C. Dorm.
Our present spuerintendent, Mr. Cunningham, and his wife have shown
a fine spirit of cooperation in all undertakings wh ich have been for our
best interests.
Deuel Dorm is well represented in school organizations and activities.
Our athletic teams showed much spirit with the 145 lb. basketball team
winning the championship of their division in the intramural league. The
football team won honors by defeating the strong J. C. team.
The Dorm Club's two important annual affairs are: the Dorm Dance
which is well attended by students from school and people from town; and
the relining of the Block "P" situated on a hill facing the campus.
The Dorm Club cooperated with the other clubs to help make the
"Circus" a success . The "Circus" is an annual affair sponsored by the
Block "P" Club.
Our return from summer vacation revealed a freshly painted Deuel
Dorm. The rooms had been painted a light cream which made a big im­
provement over the originally dark rooms. The older furniture had been
replaced and the other had been painted. A complete new water heating
system of greater capacity was installed later in the year, insuring a goodly
supply of hot water at all times.
The membership includes men from Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska.
The following are the members of the 1930-31 Dorm Club:
L. Alexander, Ed Claeys, F. Barbaria, W. Whittier, Whitehead, J.
Benich, 0. Carl, Abstein, Councilman, J. Hurtt, L. Rari ck, Middlehurst,

THE BLOCK "P" CLUB
The Block "P" Club is composed of men who have earned their letter
in football, basketball, baseball, track, or tennis.
This organization was formed to create a better and cleaner sports­
manship in our school, and, at all times, to work towards a greater
Polytechnic.
This year the club once again sponsored the Block "P" Circus which
proved an overwhelming success.
At the time the El Rodeo goes to press, the annual week-end camp is
being planned. This camp is held every year somewhere in the mountains,
and a good time is had by all.
Due to the cancellation of football this year, the personnel of the Club
is not as large as in other years, but the spirit the men have shown has
more than compensated for lesser numbers.
The officers of the club are Gordon Hazlehurst, President; Francis
Hayes, Vice-President; John Carter, Secretary-Treasurer. The advisers are
Coach Agosti and Coach McCart.
The ~ersonnel of the Club is as follows: Arlo Awbrey, Frank Carroll,
William DeVor, Ralph Hadlock, Raymond Hunsacker, Joe Hughes, Francis
Hopkins, Gordon Hazlehurst, Francis Hayes, Fayette Lamb, Karl Monsen.
Sterling McLean, Charles Mead, Gilbert Rambo, Harry Simmons, Rob­
ert Robinson, Jim Rummel, William Van Voorhis, Alois Wolf, Bill White,
Lloyd Bowman, Clarence Elliot, John Carter, Magior Busick, and Coaches
Agosti and McCart.

FOOTBALL
Due to the epidemic of polio which broke out in San Luis Obispo
County last fall, the football season, together with Homecoming and all of
the accompanying festivities, had to be called off.
With a very bright outlook for a good team, this was a severe blow to
the coaches and to the teams for they had felt sure of holding their own
this year against the other teams of the Conference.
At the suggestion of Coach Agosti, Intermural Football was held.
There were five different teams represented-Heron Hall, Deuel Hall,
J. C. Dorm, Campus, and the Town.
Games were played each night after school before a large crowd of
town folks. The J. C. Dorm which was a favorite to win the championship
was elmininated by the Deuel Dorm. Then the town team pulled a great
surprise and eliminated the Campus team, another favorite.
In the play-off between the town and Deuel Hall, the boys from town
showed their superiority by winning by a score of 25-0.
The me:!1 who played for the winning Town Team were: Simmons,
Johnston, Rambo, Warden, Norton, Kreps, Hall, and Hughes.
Condray, Awbrey, Wolf, Jozovitch, Johnston, McLean, Simmons, and
Kre:rs were a few of the men who returned from last year's teams.
There was a'so a wealth of new material on hand this year. Bangham,
Nehrbass, Van Voorhis, Burnham, Bates, and Elliot surely would have
g:\ en the veterans a hard fight for their positions on the team.
With spring practice already started as El Rodeo gce3 to press, it is
the hope of the Coaches and the teams that nothing will stop the California
P::J'ytechnic Mustangs frcm participating in the Great Sport of Football
next year.

High School Varsity Football

High School Football Squad

J. C. VARSITY BASKETBALI.
Reminiscing over the basketball season of 1931, although having more
defeats than victories, the Mustangs can think of a very successful seas:m
from the standpoint of excellent school spirit, good close games, and a
wonderful spirit on the part of Coach Ray McCart and the ever-helpful
Micky J ozovich.
Coach McCart gave the boys the very best instructions, and, at the
start of the season, it looked as though the Mustangs were finally on their
way to the Conference championship.
Due to the ineligibility of Gib Rambo, versatile center, and the illness
of Gordon Hazlehurst, the scoring offense of Rambo, Simmons, and Hazle­
hurst was broken, leaving Simmons to continue with smaller, less experi­
enced men.
Hunsaker, a very good forward, was also lost to the Mustang's squad.
However, in spite of these handicaps, the Poly team turned in some
creditable performances.
Santa Maria and Moran both suffered double defeats at the hands
of the Mustangs, and in an exhibition game after the season, the Mustangs
under the name of the "All Stars" defeated both Ramblers and the Artisans
by very large scores. Lack of experience, height, and skill seriously cut
down our performance in conference games, but the real fighting spirit
never died.
The following men made their Varsity this year : Simmons, McLean,
Van Voorhis, Rummel, Hayes, and Gratch.
.
Coach Ray McCart, by his unremitting patience, real spirit, and hard
work deserves all the praise and credit an appreciative studenty body can
give him.

HIGH SCHOOL "A" TEAM BASKETBALL
Reviewing the past basketball season of 1931, it is evident that the
High School "A" team had a high percentage of victories, tying with Paso
Robles for second place in the county conference. As this was Polytech­
nic's first year of high school competition, the boys are to be commended
for the success which they achieved under the able tutelage of Coach
Ray McCart.
The conference schedule follows.
On January 10 the High School "A" team opened their schedule and
showed good form by defeating Templeton to the tune of 30 to 6.
January 24 Poly played Moran at Moran. The Moran team, which
later proved to be the conference champion, won 24 to 13.
January 31 Poly cagers moved up a place in the C. I. F. standing by
nosing out the Atascadero boys in a last moment victory. The score was
Poly 19; Atascadero 18.
On the evening of February 7 Poly traveled north to meet Paso Robles.
This game proved to be one of the most exciting games of the season. The
teams were tied in the last two minutes of play. However, the Paso men
found their shooting eye and came out on the long end of the score.
The Cambria quintet came to Poly on February 14 for the last game
of the season. Their hopes for victory soon faded, as the Poly boys were
playing a "heads up" game and sending "shots" from all points on the
floor, making the final score 28-10.
The men awarded their high school letter this year were: Hopkins,
Carroll, Lamb, Mead, Monsen, DeVor, and White.

HIGH SCHOOL "B" TEAM BASKETBALL
As this was the first year that Poly has ever entered a team in Class
"B" competition, we are proud to say that the team placed third in the
conference standing.
The men on the "B" team should be given much credit for they im­
proved steadily as the season progressed, never giving up their fighting
spirit,-playing even harder when facing defeat.
During their encounter with the Coast Union High School, they played
their best game; Compher, Bryson, and Laing shared the scorirtg burdens.
A great deal of credit should go to Wilbor and Bower, the fighting guards,
who did their part in creating an air-tight defense.
Without a doubt the Poly-Shandon game was the most exciting game
of the "B" season. Shandon took an early lead, only to be overtaken by
Poly. From then on, the score see-sawed, Poly first leading, then Shan­
don,-a foul shot often determining who was ahead. One minute before
the game was over, the referee called a foul on Shandon. Wilbor, Poly's
standing guard, made it good, tying the score. A second after the basket
was made, the whistle blew, announcing the end of the game. In the period
required to play off the tie, Poly sank several buckets and cinched the game.
The "B" team also played several preliminary games for the J. C.
Squad after the regular "B" team season was over, showing much interest
in basketball and in their own improvement.
The student body should take more interest in the "B" teams because
they are the coming athletes of Cal Poly.
"B" team men who were awarded their letter this year were Brys:m,
Laing, Compher, Bower, and Wilbor.

TRACK
The Polytechnic track team was t his year divided into two Reparate
divisions, High and Junior College.
Due to lack of material, the High School team was discontinued.
Some excellent material is available for the Junior College squad, how­
ever.
From the Mission high school in San Francisco we have acquired Ed
Lynch, who has turned in brilliant performances in the mile. Ed's presence
will do much to aid the Mustang squad, and he is expected to win many
points at the state meet.
Ray Hogue, who transferred here from San Luis High, shows pnmise
of developing into a fast one-hundred and two-twenty yard man. With the
Day brothers able to help, Poly should win consistently in the sprints, and
these three form the basis of a good relay team.
Robinson, Piper, and Elliot also show promise.
Richard Jackson, with his two assistants, Lloyd Bowman and Mickey
Jozovitch, has managed the team efficiently and successfully. Coach Agosti
has worked diligently all season teaching the fellows the fundamentals of
the sport, and deserves much credit for his untiring efforts.
The aspirants for the team this year are:
Hogue, Lowell Day, Tom, 100 yard dash; Hogue, Tom, 220 yard dash;
Robinson, 440 yard dash; Costello, Lynch, Robinson, Culbertson, Bryson,
880 yard dash; Lynch, Costello, Eipper, Fujita, mile nm; Phillips, Llo:vd
Day, Weir, low hurdles; Weir, Phillips, high hurdles; Bettencourt. Elliot,.
discus; Hovde, Bettencourt, shot put; Fleming, McKeen, pole vault ; Perry,
McKeen, high jump; Gratch, Piper, broad jump; Hogue, Lloyd and L ::~well
Day, Robinson and Tom, mile relay.

BASEBALL
At the end of the basketball season this year when Coach Ray McCart
issued his first call for baseball, the future "Ruths" and "Ty Cobs" of Poly
turned out in great hordes.
From these men a squad of about twenty of the likeliest looking
players was selected to represent Poly for the coming baseball season.
Althcugh this is the first time in many years that Cal Poly has entered
a baseball team in high school competition, we feel confident that our
team wJ ! place very high in the conference rating.
Up to the time El Rodeo went to press, the team had played two
games. The first of these games was with Paso Robles; and the second,
w:th Atascadero.
Due to the fact that the Poly team had been practicing for only a
week and had played rather poorly, they lost to Paso Robles by a score of
15-4. This game brought out several weaknesses as well as some new
players, and Poly was able to put a much stronger team on the diamond
the following week against Atascadero. Every Poly man played a good
game, the result being 11-3 in Poly's favor.
The schedule for the 1931 baseball team was as follows: March 20,
"Pas:) R obles at Poly; March 27, Atascadero at Atascadero; April 10, Tem­
pleton at Poly; April 13; Cambria at Cambria; April 24, Shandon at
.Shandon.
The rr obable baseball lettermen of this year are DeVor, Monsen, "White,
Hork~ns , Car ter, Compher, Uribe, P. Hazlehurst, Carroll, Hill, and Bower.

BLOCK "P" CIRCUS
One of the "Greatest Shows in History" appeared in Crandall Gym­
nasium on the evenings of March 21 and 22.
This, the third Block "P" Circus in the history of Polytechnic, proved
to be a great success and a great fun-maker.
With plenty of entertaining side-shows where one could throw eggs
at nigger babies, darts at moving wheels, gamb~e on moving lights, drink
soda pop, gaze spell-bound at whirling feats of electricity, visit the m::>re
dangerous realms of the "Forty-Nine Camp," or take the death-daring
airplane rides, Poly men and their girl friends made merry and spent
money for an hour or so before THE BIG SHOW opened.
Then they gazed upon the antics of "ferocious specimens of Arroyo
Grande wild life" restless after "their long and tiresome trip from a winter
in Cambria Pines"; upon THE WORLD FAMOUS MISS GEORGIA
SAWDA Y and her "HIP-SHAKING ARTISTS"; upon SAMPSON, THE
WORLD'S STRONGEST MAN who could break railroad ties so easily as
matches and discard 500 lb. weights at will; upon grotesque Scandinavian
Midgets who clogged and yodeled; upon MONDRAGON, a TRAPEZE
ARTIST WHO REALLY lived up to his advertising; upon breath-taking
clowns in black and white; famous boxers;-all very effectively introduced
by the MAGNIFICENT ARMENDARIZ, the RINGMASTER who also,
with the assistance of Mr. Vernon and an able clown or two, awarded the
Door Prizes kindly donated by the merchants of San Luis Obispo.
The Circus was heartily received both nights.
Ne t receipts go to the Block "P" Club for the dual purposes of pur­
chasing sweaters and for maintaining the Athletic field.
