A team of ten Cal Poly dairy produc­
tion majors brought honor and fame to
the college this year by winning first
place in the Tenth Annual Hoard's
Dairymen Championship Collegiate
Dairy cattle judging contest. The team
of boys judged classes of the five major
breeds of dairy cattle by the use of
photographs in competition with other
teams from all the outstanding agricul­
tural colleges in the United States. Last
year another Poly team tied for second
place in the same contest.
In the Holstein All-American judging
contest, Poly teams have won many
honors: first place in I 939, seventh in
1940, and third in I 94 I.
Everyone of the boys of this year's
team works part time in the dairy unit
to help earn school expenses and they
own a total of 70 head of fine dairy
cattle.

vvhich arc not learned from textbooks.

The department is still wa1tmg for a

one has been chugging since r929 sup­

charge of the boiler which sends heat
to the main buildings .
The electricians are studying for fu ­

cians ... sub station operators ... and
positions with the telephone companies
( P. G. E., etc.).
The department furnishes juice to
charge the fence around the lawn in

supply.

The crop men are always planting
experimental range plots with seed im­
ported from all parts of the U. S. and
from foreign countries. One of the big­
gest tasks is planting cover crops for the
school's orchards. They also plant a
truck garden and watch the crops grow.
All terracing, checking, and irrigation

is done by students. The school rents
from the Union Oil Co. territory near
the air port and projects are subleased
to the students. Then the fellows rent
equipment from the department, they
hire their own labor, and sell their
product . . . usually hay. The meat
animals department usually buys crops
grown ... the growers pocket the profit.
Only one project has been undertaken
this year, and by three department ma­
jors ... they pocketed a pocketful.
In the Spring, \vhen crops head out,
employed majors run the harvesters all
day and chug all night until the job is
through. They work hard, get scratchy
arms and backs which ache twice as
much, and yet obtain that satisfaction
of living with the rain, the wind, the
sun, the waving fields of grain, and, in
the end, are the onlv guys who are
really "down to earth."

We never will forget that assembly
which the "croppers" put on for the

Barnsmell boys vs. Pansypickers in re­

was a practical illustration of a talk on
Emily Post at a preceding meeting.
Three parties were held at Advisor
Dougherty's house. Mr. Dougherty's
daughter plays the piano ... the guests
play poker ... and sometimes sing.
The Pre Poly Royal dance was under
the auspices of the "croppers" who wove
crepe paper into a false ceiling which
draped from a suspended center piece.
At the Royal itself, they sponsored the

The horticulturists, of which only
eleven ended the Spring quarter, help
make the campus more beautiful. They
grow all annuals and shrubs that sur­
round the buildings and tackled the job
of "planting" the new building.
D egree students take first two years
at San Dimas and if they are fortunate
they finish work at the San Luis cam­
pus durin g the following two years ...
Posi tions are assured as teachers, nursery­
men, and landscapers for civic institu­
tions and residences.
Although no advertising is done. the
visitors who inspect the green house
and "petunia" beds buy a good percent­
age of the cuttings and potted plants.
The harts get 6o percent of profits ...
the state 40 percent ... soil and water
and hoes are furnished by the depart­
ment.
Besides their regular studies
students have charge of
and lab work, horticulture
beautifying the campus-a
job which they have ac­
complished exceedingly well
and with little thanks.
They have put in and take
care of 131h acres of lawn,
put in all shrubbery on the
grounds, and are now help­

around the new dorms and
new administration build­

no annual extended tour was taken, but
the Fall picnic at the County Park
turned out to be a wholloping good

the difference between cost and profit
from egg production with the depart­
ment . . . the "chicken herders" are
allowed a profit of fifteen dollars per
month. With high price returns this
year, the poultrymen are getting rich .
All "cafe" eggs are supplied by the
''feather merchants" who also do a large
retail business on the side . . . Some
new equipment includes a sensational
automatic chicken picker that picks
many birds per hour, plus a few more
... The students candle and grade the

Poultry Club
These fellows are go getters and are
an active bunch on the Polytech cam­
pus. They like to deep sea nsh and are
always talking about the "big ones" that
they haul in. In the spring, they take
an annual trip to look over the chicken
and turkey situation . The club is well
represented in student affairs . . . the
campus prexy is a poultry major .. .
and they monopolize the honor society.
The member who makes the greatest
profit during the year from his projects
must treat the brothers to an outing.
The fellow who makes the least money,
supplies the others with stacks of chew­
ing gum. In otherwords, they are so­
cialistic and frown upon capitalism ...
Their assembly featured a fashion show
which featured a hula dance in Poly­
tech style.
In the inter-club basketball meet, the
club was runner up to the winners.

reasons, but just try to be excused from class
with a flimsy excuse ... teaches first and third

vintaged rash . . . advises Alpha Gamma

The air conditioners have the best lab
of any department on the campus and
probably the best air conditioning lab­
oratory on the Pacific Coast. Despite the
fine facilities and the excellent teaching
staff, the war put a crimp in the enroll­
ment. Besides losing men to the serv­
ices, the department is handicapped by
a temporary lull in the industry itself.
In ability to get materials and govern­
ment's ban on manufacture of "com­
fort" equipment such as refrigerators,

cooling systems, etc. helped drain stu­
dents into other work.
Despite the problems, the few stu­
dents left in the department have been
doing excellent work. The majors fin ­
ished a quick freezing unit this year. It
freezes down to 50 degrees below in less
than twenty minutes ... the cafe will
quick freeze vegetables and meat and
store them in the contraption .
The men like to run tests on air
velocities and on air quantities ... they
also maintain the auditorium air condi­
tioning unit. The frosh recently finished
a direct air forced heating unit for Mr.
Lucksinger's house on a project basis.
They have worked on churches . .. the
churches pay for materials and the stu­
dents devote their labor. Light and
sound, sound control, vibrations and ac­
coustics. are three courses that loom
high and mighty to newcomers. Onlv
one student has completed the full
course which leads to a degree . .. his
certificate of higher learning was award­
ed during the graduation exercises.

T he Air C onditioners are a fast think­

The mechanical industries is a new
department having expectations of in­
creased enrollment. With its beginning
in the Fall of '4 r, fellows vvere drawn
from Fresno State, California , San Jose
State, and Santa Rosa J. C. Then the
department was cut down to war rations
with about 16 finishing the Spring
quarter.
Preparation is given in this category
for power plant work, machine shop,

drafting, engines, air conditioning, re­
frigeration, and other diversified skills
. . . the scope is broad and acts as a
basis for which any engineering field
can be entered.
The stiffer courses are engineering
math, ph ysics, Buid Row, spherical trig.,
illumination engineering . . . we'll let
the mechanical industrialists have all
this.

A great deal of work is done over a
drafting board in this department
. . . but it's not all theory . . .
they get lots of practical training in
power house operation, etc.

Poly Engineers Club
Like the department itself, the Poly
Engineers club is not yet dry behind
the ears. All present members are char­
ter members.
In the Fall, a trip was taken to the
County Park where a barbecue was
held, with Chef Carter in the groove
hashing the meal out in an au fait man­
ner (we didn't understand either).
They were a rowdy bunch who played
baseball, football, basketball, and shot
the breeze.
They meet just once in a while, but
when they do, they exchange ideas on
subjects pertaining to the mech. eng.
field . Mr. Sharpe, who acts in an ad­
visory capacity, believes the club be­
longs to the fellows so the fellows
always have their say.

The Agricultural Mechanics Depart­
ment is one of the few departments
which do not ofFer a degree curriculum.
There are many facilities available. Mr.
Merson uses his finesse in designing
new tractor equipment which the stu­
dents construct. One of Mr. Winners
prides of joy is the renovated plow that
was converted into a manure scraper for
the hog unit. Mr. Drumm 's concoction
on legs, simulates a cow . . . but the
bulls don't think so.
The ag. men keep all carpentry in
repair and construct feeding troughs,

self feeders, sheds, and helped lay the
concrete pens for the hog unit.
They keep their tools sharp and in
good repair as much of the grade de­
pends on knowledge of proper use and
care of equipment. Someone is always
bringing in something to be fixed
it usuall y gets ''fixed. "
The wise fellows build trailers and
usuall y sell them at a good profit. This
department utilizes "coolie" labor, but it
is the only practical manner by which
the fellows can learn first hand.

were sent to Sacramento for approva l by
the State D epartment of Architecture
and ,;vill in time be the basis for con­

National Defense
Starting out as "defense training" courses in
the fall of I 940, Poly's essential government
sponsored industrial courses became "War train­
ing" courses after that Sunday morning stab in
the back at Pearl Harbor.
During the past year more than 2ooo war
industries workers have been trained in weld­
ing, aircraft sheet metal, machine shop, radio
and communications, and most of these have
been placed immediately in plants building
those all-important planes, ships or bom bs, or
have gone into the armed forces with special
technical ratings.
It was this war industries training spon sored
by the federal government which brought the
ational Youth Administration residen t work
center to the campus. Barracks, dining h alls and
all facilities were built to house 250 JYA
trainees at one time.
The two new shop buildings, which will
eventually be turned over for regul ar college
shop courses when the war is over, were built
to accommodate the ever increasing special en­
rollment of war industries trainees.
In February, something new wa s added!
Girls! Yes, girls were admitted to the new
courses in civil service training for California
air depot workers. Since regular enrollmen t had
been dropping off rapidly due to draft and en­
listment, two of the new "chicken-coop" dormi­
tories were turned over to the civil service "me­
chanic learners." It was the first time in 30
years since a girl had lived on the campus, and
frankly, administrative officials were a little
skeptical-but the girls were ladies and th e boys
were gentlemen-and everything worked out
fine. One big happy family training for
VICTORY.

and once in a while a smile to the
much malign e d features of H . P.
( H appy Puss ) D avidson, faculty
advisor.

The Student Affa irs Council
most important stud ent group . . . has
full jurisdiction over all Associated Stu­

tees galore ... H enry send s communi­
ca tions hither and yon . . . Solomon

over predetermin ed adjo urnm ent times,

and everyone leaves exhausted . . . but
the jobs get d one.
Then , aft er adjournment, a dozen
bull sessions all over the room
"wh y'n 'ell didn't you say so . .. it's all
over n ow." .. . After six m onths every­
one knows about everything at Poly .. .
a bunch of misers ... they emphatically
refu se a 50 cent appropriation . .. then
enthusiastically sp end fifty dollars. A

Can you imagine a "Policeman'­
Ball" without a cop? Well, by now you
have probably figured it out. The chief
duties of the Rally are to act as police,
hosts, and ushers. In other words they
are all around handy men at all social
functions such as dances and also at all

athletic events. You can't miss them.
They are always there, sweaters and all.
This group worked under stress and
strain this year and we all must say that
the Rally Committee fulfilled their du­
ties to th e fullest extent.

Social Committee
This group has one of the toughest jobs on
the campus. It must dig up all the entertain­
ment for the ralli es work with the band in
planning stunts for ~11 games, and arrange as­
sembly programs with the Vice Preside~t. A
lot of credit should be given to them th1s year
as it has been a fight to do what they wanted to
do, but they certainly did the best they could.

Publications and
News-Bureau
ROBERT E. KENNEDY
PuBLICITY DIRECTOR

Short ... dark hair . .. nice smile ... walks
briskly in business-like way ... writes and talks
the same ... eats, sleeps, and talks journalism
. . . a camera is his constant companion . . .
thorough .. . well liked.

Through the Publications Depart­
ment goes all material to be printed by
the college or student body such as
booklets, pictorials, posters, programs,
and of course the weekly paper and the
yearbook. Also under the jurisdiction
of this department are radio programs
presented either by remote control from
the campus through facilities of KVEC
or direct from the local studi o.
The News-Bureau has a fluctuating
staff. With Publicity Director Kennedy
dividing his time b e t w e e n teaching
journalism classes, directing student and
other publications, and doing campus
photography, the staff always has one
full-time man who is able to devote
onl y part time to the direct job of pub­

licizing Cal Poly. At various times, how­
ever, student assistants have been found
who were capable of handling part of
the routine student activity news which
often makes excellent publicity material.
At the first of the yea r Glenn Arthur
assisted wi th football releases and with
the football program-magazine, The
Goal Post. Then Amaro Periera took
over for a short time at the early part
of basketball season, but he left school
just as the season got under way. Dur­
ing the spring quarter, Charles Men­
denhall assisted and it was his able work
during the month before Poly Royal
which resulted in a greater quantity of
publicity on the show than ever before.

El Mustang
El Mustang sa w lots of water go under the
bridge thi s yea r ... saw m ore changes in one
yea r th an ever before in its existence . .. was
bossed by more different men ... was changed
in form at and size more tim es . . . but always
ca u sed just as much trouble to th e editorial and
m echanical staff as it ever did .
The yea r sta rted with Bill Reddick , now in
th e Coast Guard, as editor. Bill was a willing
worker but lacked experien ce. His reporters
a nd sub editors were all willing but all lacked
exp erien ce. It was a six column paper, 13 pica
columns and n o column rul es at the beginnin g
of the year. In O ctober it went to seven I 2 pica
column s with column rules. Dick Barrett, best
business manaoer ever to work on an El M us­
ta n g staff, could get plenty of advertising, but
a dirth of reporters mea nt lack of copy. O nly
an swer was to cu t size of paper. ew E l !Ius­

CARL BECK
Advisor and 194 2
Honoree

First the Army said you can't have
more than 5ooo people at Poly Royal.
Then came the rubber shortage and it
didn't look like our show had a gho t of
a chance. Then came the rains. It
rained steadily for days. James 1c­
Donald, general superintendent, began
to have a haunted expression. Carl
Beck, advisor for the show for the past
ten years, lost a few more hairs each
day. The track became a mud hole, not
helped by the presence of a ditch across
both sides of the track and the field.
The Poly Royal executive committee
could visualize dollars sprouting wing
and Rying away. With the how sched­
uled for Friday and aturday, it wa
still raining on Monday . . . on Tue ­
day
on Wedne day. The Pol~
Royal Relays were called off.
Then . . . wonder of wonders . . .
the sun came out-and came out hot
. . . and the Tenth Annual Poly Royal
came out on the black side of the ledger.

Some doubting Thomases were skeptical of the value of seeking the Poly
Royal Queen from other colleges in the state when the plan was first
establi b ed last spring. The success and added publicity which came to the
college las t yea r almost convinced them they were wrong .. . and this year
it was even more of a success and left no room for doubt as to the sound­
ness of the plan.
1iss Joetta Belcher from Fresno State college made an
excellent Queen and the presence during the two-day show of the I 94 I
Queen, Miss Barbara Biggs, added materially to the "Royal" occasion.
Princesses cho en from the local high school and junior college were :
Nonna Cory, Ann Van Leeuwen, Barbara Brown and Candice Snowman.

Woods, Dougherty, Arthur, President McPhee.

The Student Court ... just like the
fire department . . . Doesn't do any­
thing until someone wanders off the
straight and narrow . . . then it cuts
loose. Offenders get told off . . . and
even bounced ... it's a tough thing to
take . . . your best friend is on the
bench ... four times tougher than the
administration for discipline . . . and
plenty effective.

Works quietly ... doesn't seek pub­
licity ... in fact the court was working
so quietly at the beginning of the year
that Bill Reddick, one-time El Mustang
editor now in the Coast Guard, made
the mistake of editorializing about the
court not functioning ... he found out
in a hurry that he was wrong . . . A
good bunch of guys ... their motto ...
"D o as vve say-not as we do. "

Air Raid Wardens
Probably Cal Poly had another "first"
when it organized the air raid wardens
of the campus prior to the first San Luis
Obispo black-out, which was, by the
way, one of the first on the Coast. The
day after San Francisco's first black-out,
a group of thoughtful students, includ­
ing Prexy Dougherty, former prexy
Himmelman, Mechanical Industries
Club prexy, Roy Carter, met with the
Administrative Council, Mr. McFarland
and other faculty members to work out
an air raid warning system. No sooner
had the system been worked out, in fact
the very next night, San Luis was
treated to a practice black-out and then
almost immediately following the all­
clear signal a "real McCoy" alarm was
sounded.

Composed of three distin ct groups, the Band ,
the Men's Glee Club, and th e Collegians, the
music departm ent is a very well rounded group
for the size of th e Poly student body.
The Band struts its stuff durin g the football
season, pl ays som e very fin e arrangements with
lots of pep in assembli es, and at this year's Pol y
Royal put on a crack-a-jack good concert during
the barbecu e.
The M en 's Glee C lub labors hard during the
long fall and winter months in preparati on f o r
th eir Annu al Spring T our and H om e C once rt.
Made up of men from every department of the
coll ege thi s group is one of the fin est on the

th e pure love and enj oyment of singing fin e
music. C apable of sin ging any type of so n g

The Band
T he Collegians are an all-year-round group .
Beginning in the fall and playing straight

excellent orch estra has ea rned for itself an e n ­
viable reputa tion from on e end of the state to
the other. Sweet Swing is th eir forte and those
who have hea rd them can testify that th ey well
know how to "give out."
To the "swingaroos" of Poly they are kn own
as "Laver's L overs." To everyone else they a re
well known as th e Collegians. Lots of style .. .

The orchestra, like everyone else this year,
had trials and tribulations. Worst luck of all
was the loss of their very talented drummer,
Kenny Hawkins, to the Los Angeles Pest Con­
trol Department, their piano man to the Army,
their second trumpet man to work and their
string bass played to studies. But fortunately,
the spots were filled immediately-Bob Sullivan
on the drums, Stan
able at the piano, Bob
Raybourn on the trumpet and Don Seaton,
string bass. When you recall the many dances
of the year, you'll have to hand it to the Col­
legians for their consistently good performances.
They're a mighty fine outfit that's hard to beat
and a credit to the college against any compe­
tition.
Twelve "Boogie Woogie" trumpets ... eight
"Rippling Rhythm" clarinets . . . four "Dixie
Land" basses ... one "Blues (and I do mean
Blues) in the Night" Glockenspiel player ...
and a big ETC. which includes trombones,
drums, baritones, bassoon, saxaphones, and a)­
toes.

but be a bright outlook in the future
for this group then.
With seven long months practice and
training under their belts the Club
traveled throughout the northern Sa2­
ramento Valley this year and were ac­
claimed in every town and city they
visited as one of the finest groups to
ever present their program throughout
this entire region. Accompanied by their

Collegians they were received with
open arms at every school they visited.
Even now they have received many let­
ters asking for their return which is cer­
tainly proof enough of their excellence
for anyone. So keep it up, fellows.
We're all for you and proud you're a
part of Poly.
Girls, girls, girls! That's all we hear
from the boys in the Glee Club and
from all the confirmed reports vve've re­
ceived, they really must have met some
"pips."
But we can readily understand how
they accomplished the thing that all
Poly boys dream of. For if all the per­
formances put on by the Glee C lub and
Collegians during their Spring Tour
were as good and as well received as
they were at the Home Concert, we can
well see how they got the praise and
the girls while on their tour.

Among the several novelty acts work­
ed out by the members of the Glee
Club for presentation during the tour
and concert, was one particularly note­
worthy act f e a t u r i n g the Spanos
brothers, Alex and Danny, in a tap
dancing routine. Both boys have been
studying the art of tap dancing for years
and combined with their able cane
twirling (a forerunner of baton twirling
-of which they are State Champions)
their ability was demonstrated to enthu­
siastic audiences with the Collegians
supporting with 'The Continental."
Four members of the club did solo
work during the organization's many
appearances both on tour and at home.
They were: Ralph Carlsen, Morris
Markee, John Nicolaides and Bill
Struckmeyer. All of these men were
members of either the Varsity or Col­
legiate quartet.

Men's Glee Club (left to right): At the

Alex Spanos, Charles Morris, Don Woods,
Bob Winans, Jack Kleck, Gail Allen, Dick
Wasson, Bill Struckmeyer, Kenneth Taylor,

Me icholl and Alvin Quist.

Quartets
The music department produced two
excellent quartets this year, the Collegi­
ate quartet and the Varsity t}uartet. The
first of these was made up of the three
m embers from last year's gro up, Ray­
bourn, 1icolaides and truckmeyer plu
a new tenor, Ted \iVa rdell. The Var­
sity quartet, on the other hand , was
made up entirely of n ew m en : Alvin
Quist, Ralph Carlsen, !orris l\ latlee
and Bob Winans.
Both gro ups have done a wonderf u I
job; their willingness to sin g has re-

sul tcd in their beino called upon to en­
tertain almost every social and civic
club in Sa n Luis Obispo. They have
sung for their lunch and sung for their
dinner ... and had th re been an SLO
Breakfast club they would probably
h ave sung for that meal too. They did
their part for the oldiers by entertain­
in g at Camp an Luis on several occa­
sions. On the annual tour and the home
concert they not only performed as two
separate groups but combined to fonn
a fine octet for several numbers.

The score was deadlocked until there were only ninety seconds left to

EVADA

SEPTEMBER 2 7

A hard fighting Poly eleven went down to a 32-o defea t that was
administered by an experienced Nevada team. The high altitude
and tiresome train ride affected the Mustangs shortly after the game
had started. Pol y had a chance to cheer in the last quarter as West
and Kouns led the offensive; however the march halted on the six
ya rd line as the final gun sounded.
Even in defea t, the Mustangs all played good ball and Poly can
be proud of them.

T he Mustangs, in their initial home ga me, trampled the Engineers,

A better Poly team was held to a scoreless tie by Chico State. Poly's

Basketball 1941-42
What was to have been a great Mus­
tang hoop season turned out to be a
mediocre one because four varsity let­
termen left school after the first two
series of games had been played. Even
though the season in general was noth­
ing to brag about there were some out­
standing highlights during the season,
among them: the smashing of two tri­
umphs the Poly five administered to
their cross-to·wn rivals-the San Luis
Obispo J. C.; the settino of an all-time

high of 245 points in a single season by
Bernard Goodbody; a record of twenty­
three points in a single game by Leroy
Lieb, and the upsetting of one of the
outstanding independent teams on the
coast, Chapman College.
Poly opened the season by dropping
a close tilt to a powerful Chico State
team. The score-37-35.
The Mustangs then played host to
the touring Broadway Clowns twice and
drew a capacity house both times. The

On January 14, Poly gained its first
triumph when the team defeated the

lied thirteen points and Lieb, guard,
made nine to lead the Mustangs in their
triumph.
A very over-confident Humboldt State
five came to Poly expecting a pair of
easy victories. But the "old Poly spirit''
prevailed, and the Lumberjacks were

The best laid plans of mice and men

How true! How true! moans Buck
Lash. For Buck held the highest hopes
this fall for a really great swimming
team. Practically everyone of last year's
unbeaten mermen was back: Burger,
Morgan, Chapman, Horne, Hughling,
Ullman ... Besides these veterans from
Don DeRosa's great Poly team of last
year, the following new men answered
Buck's call for natatorial talent: Ray
Crane, Bob Rimpau, Sandy Munro (3
top-Right, experienced competitive swim­
mers), Youngsen, Kalar, Root, Wilson,
and divers: McCrea and Spanos.
But what Uncle Sam did to these
tanksters is nobody's business! When
time for meets came around, he hadn't
left us enough to beat a good YWCA
team!
But the boys had a lot of fun while
it lasted, and Dorm 5 of the "Chicken
Coops" won the Inter-Dorm Champion­
ship.

Dormitory Three
The spirit that was Dorm Three, is
no more. The integral parts that made
up this spirit were scattered over all
parts of the campus. It was reluctantly
and with much regret that the twenty
students h o u s e d in this new dorm
moved out on March 2 to make room
for the civil service trainees.
The spirit of Dorm Three was built
on friendships made more enduring by
the hardships entailed during the early
part of the year when the building was
only partially completed. It was one of
camaraderie, and of general interest in
the welfare of each and every person
housed in this new building.
The spirit of Dorm Three was rep­
resented by James Pappas, amiable su­
perintendent; by Rowland Manson, the
kid who made a name for himself by
knocking out a boxer in his first Fun
Nite appearance, and who held a record
of excellence as custodian of the dorm
and quieter of disturbances; by Jack
Mason, whose cheery voice awoke
sleepers at all hours of the clay and
night; by Bill Wilson and Bob McClure
and the other boys who left to join the
U. S. services; by James "Hap" Me-

Kenna the wit of the dorm, and the
life of' all "bull" sessions, and by many
other boys who came and went in the
life of Dorm Three.
The spirit of Dorm Three was the
quiet, contented and happy life lived
there by twenty boys, some of whom
spent three-fourths of their school year
in the building. Tho e who made up
Dorm Three played an active part in all
school activities. In this dorm were
housed members of the S.
., Polv
Royal committee, publication staff,
athletes in football and ba ketball , and
three Fun Iite boxing stars.
Yes, the spirit of Dorm Thr e is dead.
It will never arise again.
ne\ spirit
may be born in the n w occupants of
that dorm, but the old can never be
reborn because the spirit wa made up
of the people that lived in it. n active,
alert, interested and fri ndly p ople.
Here on these pages we gi e a final
toast to the Spirit that vvas Dorm Three.

Voorhis Unit of the California Polytechnic
College is located at San Dimas
The Voorhis Branch unit at San Dimas is a portion of the California Poly­
technic College of which every one connected with the institution is particularly
proud.

Situated in a vast citrus belt about 30 miles south-east of Los Angeles,

the Voorhis unit is picturesquely nestled near the foot of snow-capped Mount
Baldy.

Graceful winding roads, beautiful white-stucco buildings with colorful

red tile roofs, make this horticulture and citriculture branch appear more like
a smart residential district than a school. It was acq uired in r 938 as an outright
gift from Charles B. Voorhis and his son Congressman Jerry Voorhis, who had
built the school and home for deserving, underprivileged youngsters.

One of the finest looking buildings
on the campus is Aunell D ormi tory. In
it are a group of industrious students
who have distinguished themselves by
their athletic ability in football and
basketball. Of normal scholarship rec­
ords these students have a good time
among themselves and with the student
body, taking an active part in its doings.
Aunell donated souvenir postcards of
the Chapel to all visitors on Poly Vue
Day. An example of their activities was
the stag dorm party to Los Angeles
vvhere a fine dinner and show were
taken in. This dorm, like many others,
lost many of its members since the out­
break of the war. Several are now in
active service in the armed forces of the
United States. Others have taken agri­
cultural jobs necessary in defense.

a group of the best recordings with
"Darsey" Jones calling the dances. Do­
nuts and cider were served. This event
was one of the most successful the
school ha ever had and it showed the

with ten upper classmen, Rose Cottage
obtained quite the upper-hand on the

new freshmen pitched in with spirit and

happy family.
Rose Cottage was one of the top teams
in the annual inter-dorm football tour­
nament this year, finally winning the
determining g a m e for championship
play-off from Sunset cottage by the Aip
of a coin. The championship was lost
only by a slight margin to the all-mighty

There has been a complete turn over in the
student body government this year with the
exception of one office. The officers elected at
the end of last year were Orval Vaughn as stu­
dent body President; Pat Elliot as Vice-president;
Gene Schultz as Treasurer; Max Kohler as Sec­
retary; D'vvight Griswold as editor of the school
paper; Bill Meily as Poly Vue chairman; and
Jim Folger as editor of the year book.
Due to the war and the filling of defense jobs
by the majority of the officers, the student gov­
ernment voted to have another election. Max
Kohler automatical ly assumed the post of presi­
dent as he was the ranking man, besides being
exceptionally suited and favored for the job.
Votes were cast and the results were as follows:
Vice-president, Laird Roddick; S e c r e t a r y ,
Dwight Griswold; Treasurer, Leland Meyers;
Editor of the paper, Fred Tibold; Athletic man ­
ager, Dale Smith ; and Vicc-chaim1an of Poly
Vue , Dave Harvev.

The inner works of the student government
is carried on by the Executive Board which
meets at the call of the student body president.
The construction of a Constitution finally be­
came a fact as the group presented the new
constitution to the student body for amend­
ments and approval. The completion of the
constitution was a task worthy of mention be­
cause of the tremendous amount of work re­
quired. But, this is only one of the tasks allotted
to the Executive Board; also, there were the
entertainment of the students, keeping school
spirit high , settling student's problems, obtain­
ing new equipment for athletics, satisfying the
sense of taste through the cafeteria, planning
the many dances ...vhich take place each quarter,
the snow trip to the mountains, dividing the
stud ent body treasury so that the students were
mostly benefitted. !lembers include the student
body officers and the frosh and upperclass presi­

Tedious hours have been spent on
this material. Griswold waiting for the

Tribold sweating over ads; Hayes with
his volumes of write-ups; and Foust

So here's the San Dimas section of

fine publications this year, giving
news to the students in a clever
and interesting form.
Editorials were continually ex­
pressive in a way to encourage im­
provement in habits of students
and in general school affairs.
Students enjoyed the fun of the
"weekly wash" column whi:::h told
of the doings of the lads, both so­
cial and academic. Sports were
faithfully, and sometimes accur­
ately, reported.
This year's Poly Views Staff has
produced volumes of excellent
copy-and received little glory or
praise. But their efforts are ap­
preciated.

terma n in basketball keeps
scores on interdorm athletic
contests.

Members of this club are exclusively those
who have earned their letters either on the
basketball court, baseball diamond, on the cinder
path, or as manager of one of the teams.
Block P boys wear the green and gold letter­
man's swea ter or the letterman 's jacket with the
Mustang insignia on it. Their duties are many,
but mainl y they take re ponsibility for school
spirit. Each season of the school year the Block
P is in charge of a different athletic activity.
Interdorm football, basketball, and baseball
ga mes are run off. The winners of these tourna­
ments receive a bann e r which is placed in the
dormitory.
Fun Nights are spon sored which include box­
ing and wrestling matches, card games and gen­
eral all-round good time. Thi club directs the
annual Soph-Frosh brawl, attempting to regu­
late the quantity of bruises to a minimum. One
of the big activities is the Golden Glove tourna­
ment. Several different weight divisions are
elected and the winners in the classes are pre­
sented with a golden glove to wear on their key
chai n. The Block P sta nds as one of the leading
orga ni zations in the school.

young plants always to be found in the glasshouse.
Bottom: Harold Greek works in the landscapers shop
potting small rare plants, which will be transfered to
the glass house and then to the campus or be used
in the Poly Vue flower show.

The main objective of the club is to
grow, as do their plants and flowers, in
knowledge and friends, and to stimulate
a wider interest and become better
known in their chosen field of orna­
mental horticulture.
New life has been added to the land­
scape club this year. It recently adopted
the name, "Los Robles," meaning, in
Spanish, "The Oaks." The late policy
of having a speaker every meeting has
worked out very well, and has enabled
the members to gain valuable knowl­
edge, in the field of ornamental horti­
culture.
Many interesting and educational field
trips have been taken to the outstand­
ing nurseries in Los Angeles. The Los
Angeles County Fa i r and Pasadena
Flower Show have furnished valuable
information, study and entertainment
for the members.
The club officers are: President, Ralph
Harvey; Vice-president, Harold Greek;
Secretary-treasurer, Tomi Yoshikava.

(Left to right): Tom Yoshikawa, Elvin Bevington, Harold Greek, Sheldon
Kempton, Ralph Harvey, Mr. Stanley Keane, Robert Littlejohn, William Drake.

Fruit Production
This is a fairly new organization,
being formed in the spring quarter of
Ia s t year with twenty-seven charter
members. At the present time there are
twenty active members.
The purpose of the club is two-fold­
educational and social. The educational
aspect is achieved by having speakers
from different organizations and busi­
nes es connected with the growing and
marketing of various agricultural prod­
uct , talk before the group. Social ac­
tivitie of the club consist of barbecues,
parties, and other form of entertain­
ment throughout the year.
One of the club's outstanding activi­
tie of this year was the sponsoring of
the ping-pong and pool tourn ament for
the student body and faculty. Valuable
prizes were offered the winners and
runner -up. This tournament created
much interest on the campus.
The officers serving thi s club this year
were: President Frederick Tibold; Vice­
president, Leland Meyers; Secretary,
Dave H arvey; Treasurer, Lewis Trus­
sell; and faculty advisors, Messrs. Haw­
kin and Gray.

Top: David Hayes and Dave Harvey are working
the seedling avocados grown by the students. They
have just budded and are topping these small trees
preparing them for a future planting in the extensive

Poly's big day of the year at San
Dimas is the annual Poly Vue. This
year's Fourth Annual Poly Vue Day
was run off with smoothness and gaiety
typifying the spirit of the Voorhis Unit.
Bill Meily led the executive committee
in planning this day to which mer­
chants, professional men, fa r m e r s,
parents, girl fri ends, and everyone else
are invited.
The outdoor barbecue with half­
pound steaks and the rest of the dress­
ings, the organ recital in the beautiful
Voorhis Chapel, Rower shows, student
demonstrations, the Victory Garden,
swimming in the outdoor pool , relaxing
under the magnificent giant oaks; all of
these things were only a sample of the
day's doings. Mothers and fathers
eagerly examined the dormitories which
are more like fine homes; they saw the
work their sons are doing in the various
fields of Agriculture Inspection , Decid­
uou s,
itrus, T r u c k Farming, and
Landscaping.

shown here on this page ... if they are
able to come back.
The squad came through a very uc­
cessful season this year despite the fact
that only two veterans were back, Bill
Meily and Jim Abaloe. The majority
of the team members were able-bodied,

freshmen plus a few second year men
and transfers.
Games played this year included en­
counters with La Verne frosh, C. 0.
Camp, Pomona frosh, San Bernardino
J. C., El Centro J. C., itrus J. C.,
Chapman frosh, Pepperdine frosh. The
highlight of the season, the annual big
game with our San Luis Obispo broth­
ers, was lost by just a few points after
a desperate battle.
Wilbur Mahew, Poly's flashy-fresh­
man and high point man, did a fine job
at forward, playing a hard, fast game all
the way. Wilfred McKendry gave him
all the support he needed as the other
forward and netted his share of the
points, too. The center spotlight was
shared by two competent men, Leonard
\N oolsey and Joe Mapes.
Max Kohler, one of the cleverest men
on the team, was in the upper levels of
the scoring column, being able to play
either guard or forward position. Harry
Foust, showing plenty of fight with
speed and energy to burn, promises to
be one of next year's most capable men.
The guard position vacated by Abaloe,
when he had to leave on an in pector's
job, was filled by Bill Meily, letterman
of the previous year. Bill proved valu-

able as a defen e man. Quenton Bruton
and Chuck Shaw aw plenty of action
in their respective positions with Shaw,
at center and Bruton at guard. Bruton
is assured a spot on next year's squad as
his skill, vim and vigor marked him
as an outstanding man.
Doug Smith , at forward, a little short
to be a scoring sensation, was a fast ball
handler and hone on defense. Clem
Croley, a Iorthern lad, is one of the
prospects for next year's team. Jim
Folger, laid up early in the season with
a knee injury, still saw action and did
his best work as a defensive guard.
Another set-back early in the season
was the loss of Andy Foster, who left
school at the outbreak of the war.
The members of the team attribute
their successful season to the constant
teaching and advisino of oach Vernon
Meacham, on the job at every game and
practice, giving the boy plenty of sup­
port throughout the sea on. Dale Smith,
as manager, proved invaluable in help­
ing Coach Meacham keep the team in
shape and always ' atchino over the
score books.

Baseball

The Voorhis baseball squad this year
faced some tough comp tition and came
out fighting but not always on top. The
weather throughout the season was sur­
prisingly favorable and all games ·were
played as scheduled .
Five r turning lettermen formed the
nucleus of the team this year; Jim Aha­
Joe veteran first baseman; Lew Trussel,
ou;fielder; Bob Hale, playing any posi­
tion; Ed Hurst, first-call hurler; and
Max Kohler, catcher. Max has turned

gave the outfielders some cross-country practice.

The San Dimas batmen fought many

some. Losses could readily be attributed
to the fact that many of the players
lacked experience, but never determina­
tion.
Uniforms were earned by a majority
of freshmen this year.

hurler when needed. Laird Rocldick

short stop, Wilbur Mayhew stopped
those hot ones. Tom my Lewis, one of
the outfielders, every once in a while,
would let go with a two or three bagger;
Mike Leko, another outfielder, vvould
help him hit the long ones.
Others were: Tom Yoshikawa, an
energetic second baseman and reliable

One of the favorite pastim es of every true son of Poly is a process they
call "Going In Town ."

Almost every hour of th e day and nigh t you will see

Poly boys ambiti ously trudging back and forth along Cali fornia boulevard,
H athaway avenue and oth er main arteri es into town . Some are gay, some are
thoughtful- most all of them arc hopeful that some more fort u nate Mustang
will pick them up and give them a lift to town . When they arrive in the little
"metropolis" they usually spend all the spare cash they can rake up for food,
clothes, amusemen ts or necessities.

In this section we h ope to p ortray some of

the acti vities of the M ustangs who periodi cally go "In T own ."

which would go good for that little midnight
snack after a "bull session." Mr. Bay invites
all Poly students and faculty members to
trade at Bay's 1arket where you can find
"the best, for less" in the grocery line.

PENNEY'S
Glenn Good, Dave Risling, James Wood,
John Brice, and Warner Smith, aided by

Penney's where they also will lay in a supply
of shirts, shorts, socks, ties, etc. from the
store that Poly boys know has the best 111
clothing at the most economical prices.

Boy what a lineup says Kim T. Lee, Miss

on Dave Risling, Jack cheurer, John Buch­
er, Bill Hoff, John Carricaburu , Dennis Cor­
beil, and Robert Raymond who just dropped
in to quench their thirst after a shopping
tour of town. The Gold Dragon is the place
to go for lunch, dinner, or maybe just a
soft drink after the show.

Sandercock Trans£er

Company
These Poly boys, Charles Magneson, Por­
ter Willis, Stanley Burger, and Robert Whit­
taker, "take fine" before they start that hard
job of loading that shipment of hogs. The
driver will work hard too, but that's part of
the andercock service. These four Poly men
are just a few of the boys who have learned
to Phone I 9 for the Sandercock Transfer
Company when making a stock shipment,
either a local or a long one.

Wilson's Flower Shop
Robert Thomsen inspects some of the
Easter lilies at Wilson's Flower Shop where
all the Poly fellows go when they want a
corsage for the girl friend or flowers for a
special event. When you want Rowers, do
like Robert, stop in and tell Tex Wilson and
he will fix you up with something appropri­
ate.

Sears and Roebuck
You're right, the horse is a model, and the
store is Sears, Roebuck but Dave Risling,
Ted Cope, and Robert Raymond are really
in search of good riding supplies for a top
hand, so they came down to Sears and Roe­
buck where you can always be sure of get­
ting what you want at the price you want
to pay.
