SPECIAL BLOCK “F EDITION y BVolume XVII Fellowship K eynote I ForSuccessful Living Tolerance and Fraternalism Mark Good School Citizen. (By Coach A, ,P. Agosti.) Unon being aeked to contribute an glicle in the Block “P” edition of the f^Strani it occurred to me that a & of vital interest to all of us K id be necessary before it would •‘■readable. Consequently, I have Lien one which is quite close to my f i t It is called fellowship, and Is M of the dearest things in life. First of all a man should be lm- Mssed with the importance of the ■notice of Fellowship with all man- ned and especially with his Block f brothers. As a motto to guide you Is case of uncertainty, I will suggest thl following, “Do unto others as you fluid have them da,unto you." Secondly, we are made for coopera- te, like feet, like hands, like rows of Uper and lower teeth. To act against M another is contrary to nature and lathe case of our institution, it would,, waken Its stability. Every issue of tte school or every worthy Issue of ns of your Block “P” members should te as vital to you as If it were your sen. In order that the Block “P" club ■ay be held together by cohesion or istural organisation we must prac- tice good fellowship and cooperation in every sense of the word. futhermore, adapt yourself to each t«d every member of your group, tee them, and do it sincerely. Im- Mdiately expel from our minds all ■favorable Impressions that you may tee received. By so doing you will practice fellowship and build rather ten destroy. In case a fellow student decs wrong through ignorance, teach Ite or bear with him. Fraternalism is brotherly love, and always remem- ber that men are gregarious and live with and for one another. As you are I component part of a social system, let every act be a component part of Mial life. An act against this ten- tecy will be of the nature of mutiny, as In a popular assembly a man ■sting by himself stands apart from Moral agreement. in no place can you show your true ■gpreciation of fellowship as in this Moot among our fellowship students. De not allow your own convenience la divert you from doing for others t best ypu can. If you wish to prac- > fellowship keep constantly In your ■bid the fact that you will serve a Mend whenever the opportunity pre- ■mts Itself. In this way yoli will not tey assist those with whom you come ■ contact, but you can materially ele- nt* yourself In the estimation of te r friends. All of us, consciously or uncon- ■oualy, choose a goal in life, and It ■ well to remember that Fellowship • one of the best tools' In the attain- ment of any objective.

C. members believe Wed- nesday the eleventh a good day for. business is evident from the fact that the council hai selected that date for the big All-School Tag Day to be held for the purpose of raising funds for the building of a big redwood Block “P” on the hill behind the campus. What is the origin of the “Tag Day" idea? Thjs question has been asked numerous times. Following is a brief explanation of why the “Tag Day" . idea ie being revived this year. About four yeare ago, a suggestion was bade for improving the Block " “P" situated on the hill behind the campus. At that time a plan was pro- i posed for constructing a concrete Block “P" to replace the present one which is merely lime. In order to do this, it wus evident that a fund would have to be raised to pay for the expense of material and supplies, the labor be- ing furnished by students. The sug- gestion of a tag day was followed through und a day set aside for that purpose. Tag* were printed by the Poly print shop and were sold to mem- bers of the student body for twenty- ' five cents. In this way $49.60 was raised for the fund. This wae insufficient, how- * ever, to carry through the proposed project, and wae set aside until further action could be taken. Nothing had been done elnce that time, however, UntlT, this year when the matter was brought up In the Student Affairs Council and thoroughly discussed. It was decided to put in a redwood Block “P" and to hold another "Tag Day" to raise a sufficient amount to complete the project. It wae alao agreed that this "Tag Day" should,be sponsored by the entire student pody and not by the Block "P" Club.' Finally discussion In the S. A. C. meeting regarding “Tag Day" result- ed in setting aside of Wednesday, May 11, for this purpose and to charge the small sum of ten cent* for each Loyalty and school spirit can be shown by buying as many tags as possible. There Is no doubt but that many ex-students and alumm will return in the future and will rejoice to see a splendid Block "P" on the hill behind the campus. It will be a mark of prog- ress of which this institution may be proud, and those who contribute toward this fund may In »at«r point with prids to that mark and say. "I helped to m ikf th®t Block P.

State Judging Contest Finals on Poly Campus More than 200 high school voca- tional agriculture students will be on the California Polytechnic campus Saturday, May 14, for the annual state Anal contest for California Fu- ture Farmers In judging livestock, dairy cattle, and poultry. ' Eighteen teams of three boys each are eligible to compete in each of the three contests, and most teams will bring alternates. Many schools near- by will send their entire agriculture section to watch the judging contents. Ability to shrewdly judge farm ani- mals and poultry Is one of the most important educational features of vo- cational agriculture training, in the opinion of I . E. McFarland, depart- ment head here. The prospective farmer who knows the best animals or birds to buy and sell end how to select breeding stock, has a good foundation toward success, he be- lieves. Livestock classes to be judged will include hogs, beef cattle, sheep and horses. Three breeds of dairy cattle will be judged in thie contest, and leading breeds of poultry Will be in- cluded in-the poultry judging com- pstltlan. -------------- - -— —------- _ State specialisti in livestock, dairy and poultry on the California Poly- technic ataif, and leading judges from elsewhere in the state, will place the animals and birds and listen to oral reasone. Julian A. McPhee, chief of the bureau of agricultural education, and regional supervisors, will be in charge of the contests. Only the state championship live- stock judging teem will enter national competition this year, competition in dairy cattle and poultry judging having been postponed. The Tomales high school Future Farmer team which won the state title here laet May won the national dairy cattle judging title at St. Louis Juft fall against 32 state teams. Seniors Enjoy Ditch Day At Cambria Pines Thirty enthusiastic ssniors with their faculty advisers left Crandall Gymnasium Tuesday morning, May. 2, for Cambria Pines Lodge to cele- brate the traditional Senior Ditch Events of the day were many. A baseball game, In which Dr. Crandall and Mr. Macfarlane were the main- stays of the winning team, was one of the biggest features. Both Dr. Cran- dall and Mr. Macfarlane performed like veterans, hitting and fielding In true "bushbail" fashion. Dr. Crandall was the hero of the game In the laet of the ninth. There were two away, and the wore stood. 12 to 13, In favor of the team in the field, when "Home- run” “Bucket” Harteon trudged slop- pily to the plate. "Bang!” He hit the first ball pitched for wnat looked like a sure home run over the left field fence. (P. 8. The fence had been taken out.) But as Dr. Crandall was in a hurry to end the game and do ju.tlce to half of a fried chicken, he pulled a "Tarsan," climbed a handy pine tree, speared the ball with one hand, and ended the fracas. ~ “Chow call" wae sounded and all hands gathered In the dtalng room where the seniors were served a de- licious chicken dinner, with etrawberry shortcake and strawberry Ice cream for desert. Frank Carroll and Francis Hopkins raced to see who could con- sume the most chicken, Hopkins fl- nelly winning after eBting eleven chickens to Carroll’s nine. In the afternoon members of the class enjoyed ball games, tennis, cards (more ice cream!) and horseback rid- ing. John Hyer walked off with the equestrian honor* by taking two “brodles” within fifty yards of the barn. He then decided the hors# was too gentle for him and led it back to trade In on a more spirited steed. Nine gallons of Voile’s Ice creaia, a gift to the class from the manufac- turers, tested the capacity of every senior. Mr. Macfarlane proved the champion of history by eating ap- proximately two gallons. Finally, when no one could even think about ice cream (with the ex- ception of Champion Macfarlane), without suffering, it was decided to call it a day. Block “P” Alumni Make Good Showing California Polytechnic’s Block "P" club has been instrumental in supply- ing valuable athletic materials to other junior colleges, state colleges, universities, and professional athletic clubs. Among the former club mem- bers, several have risen to great heights as athletes in larger school*. Gib Rambo, ex-’29, who was for years a basketball and track star at Poly, has thi| year starred a* ona of Fresno State College’s outstanding football, basketball, and track men. He has earned his numerals in track and football and a letter in basketball. Art Johnson, ex-’23, who at one time was Polytechnic’s right guard, is carrying on at Fresno State College with Gib Rambo, has earned his foot- ball numeral.' “Spider" Simmons, ex-’31, for two years a varsity, football, basketball, and tennis man. Is stationed at Fullar- ton Junior College, but he says that he wishes he were back at Poly. Bill “One-Shot” Van Voorhis, ex-’31, one of Poly’s former "big boys," has found a steady berth on the Golden Bear’s junior varsity crew. He wae at one time a Poly football and bas- ketball star. ' Fred Louis, ’26, a versatile athlete while at Poly, has taken up wrestling at the Univerelty of Chicago, where he won recognition as a championship wrestler in the 116-pound class. Milt Burnham. ex-’31, formerly a Poly quarter-back, le now flying the color* of Santa Barbara State College, where he starred on the freshman football squad. Orvill* Condray, ex-’31, a hard hit - ting half-back of severai Poly foot - ball teams, this year is attending the University of San Francisco, where . he is hailed aa a coming icorer of the next season. Gordon Hatelhurst, ex-’31, with Orville Condray, has reserved a regu- lar position at left end on the football team of the University of San Fran- cisco. He is an important man on the U, S. F. baseball team. Gordon has accounted for many athletic victories for Poly. Floyd Jordan, ’31, Poly’e Peppiest yell leader, has maintained his school spirit In the University of Washington. These are but a few of the many ex-Block “P” men who have carried on and proved their mettle. Honor Roll Gains; . Study Hall Loses Depression may have hit other cam- pus grounds, but not the last six weeks’ Honor Roll. The list of honor students for the last term -is longer by far than that of ar.y other eix weeks’ period thie year. Thie fact may, no doubt, be construed by some to indicate that financial embarrass- ment is a spur to Intellectual activity. Be that as it may, a most encourag- ing situation exists at present, with twenty-nine atudents on the Honor Roll and only flve elated for the night study hall for deficiencies in scholar- ship. Six men hold the distinction of hav- ing made honor grades for the entire year. The junior college division claims flve: Delbert Chamber*, Joel Davis, Will Dawson, Robert Houston, and Carl Smith. Stan Bryson of the Senior Class in the high school divi- sion alone holds this honor. I Other members of the last Honor Roll are: Frank Barbaria, Floyd Bell, James Bogert, John Cordosa, Harley Cox» Clay Davidson, William Dlener, Alva Gregory, John Hurtt, Axel John- son, Carl Johnson. Edwin Jones, Ver- non Leach, Donald Macfarlane, Ray C. Nelson, Robert Nevln, Eugene Pat- terson, Frank Piper, Dan Sagaaar, Donne Schneider, Ernest Scott, Ed- ward Vermaaen, Walter Whittier. ’ Glee Club Notes The last out-of-school concert was given by the combined Poly Glee club at the Arrpyo Grande Union High School last Friday afternoon, May fl. The program included songs by the entire glee club, selection* by the double quartet, and other number* by J. E. Morhardt, Jr., Ray Wlleon and Harry Borah. The concert ended with the group ■inging "On Mustangs.". EarlyOlympicGames Strictly Regulated Racing Most Popular Event; Eligibility Rules Are 11 Enforced. (By Coach Ray McCart.) Sinc^ the attention of the world is turning toward the Olympics in Los Angeles thl* coming summer, it U interesting to contemplate the his- tory of the Olympian games and how they came Into being. The flrat recorded Pan-Hellenic celebration was held at Olympia, Greece, 776 B. C. and then every fourth year until abolished by a Ho- man emperor in 390 A. D. During these centuries th* games became very popular, and a large stadium and magnificent buildings were built. Be- fore, each festival, heralds journeyed through Greece announcing a sacred truce among all warring peoplaa so that visitors and contestants might go to and from th* games unmolested. Even in thou times rules of eligi- bility were enforced with probably ae much discussion and disagreement as at present. All entrants for the games must have an examination, they must be of Greek blood, never have commit- ted e crime, must take an oath to com- pete fairly, muat have kept training for ten months before the games, ana muit have spent the last month In Olympia. (I wonder If any Romans swore they were Greeks, or if any Greeks who had bun caught speeding fonceafted the feet.) Races were the most popular events at the first Olympics. The distance of the footraces depended on the length of the stadium. One length w u about 200 yards and th* men raced down and back 24 times. Boys were expect- ed to race about half the distanco covered by the men. The short rune had four In e heat with the winner competing. Later races in armor be- came popular. The Pentathlon constUdfl" of five event*—running, jumping, throwing the javelin and diacue, and wrestling. This wae th* method of determining the beat all-round gymnast. Th* jumpa consisted of the broad jump and tne hop-step and Jump. Javelin throwing was popular. The Javelin was 8 to 10 fu t in length, or varying weights, and had thongs wrapped near the middle of grip. Th# discua was thrown without complete turning of the body. In the wrestling events a common method ueed wae to try to throw the opponent to the ground without falling with him. Boxing was a part of th* events. Ih thie the Greeks wrapped their hands with thongs of rawnide and, without gloves, would fight until on* was knocked out. Later horee racing with chariots and still later, with Jockeye, became a part of the games. Originally the contents took only one day, but finally the time wae In- creased to flve days. Women were not permitted to attend at first. The vic- tors of the Olympics were greatly honored abroad and in their own lo- cality. The reward at the games wae a crown of wild olive branches or a palm branch. Theae brought as much joy to the contestants of that day as do the gold medals and watches received now. Kramer Wins Election; Hopper Vice-President —' v ^ Loot Kramer, first year J. C. man, won the election for student presi- dency over Sterling McLean, Pet* Armendarls, Henry Vervale, and Frank Barbaria in the etudent election held April 27. Kart Monsen and Fran- cis Hopper tied for the vtce-preei- dency, Monsen. however, withdrew as he does not intend to return next year, giving Hopper th* office. Fewer than half of th# entire stu- dent body turned out for the laet election.

    All-School Tag DayTo Build New Block “P”

    That S. A. C. members believe Wednesday the eleventh a good day for. business is evident from the fact that the council hai selected that date for the big All-School Tag Day to be held for the purpose of raising funds for the building of a big redwood Block “P” on the hill behind the campus.

    What is the origin of the “Tag Day" idea? Thjs question has been asked numerous times. Following is a brief explanation of why the “Tag Day" . idea ie being revived this year.

    About four yeare ago, a suggestion was bade for improving the Block " “P" situated on the hill behind the campus. At that time a plan was pro- i posed for constructing a concrete Block “P" to replace the present one which is merely lime.

    State Judging ContestFinals on Poly Campus

    More than 200 high school vocational agriculture students will be on the California Polytechnic campus Saturday, May 14, for the annual state Anal contest for California Future Farmers In judging livestock, dairy cattle, and poultry. '

    Eighteen teams of three boys each are eligible to compete in each of the three contests, and most teams will bring alternates. Many schools nearby will send their entire agriculture section to watch the judging contents.

    Ability to shrewdly judge farm animals and poultry Is one of the most important educational features of vocational agriculture training, in the opinion of I . E. McFarland, department head here. The prospective farmer who knows the best animals or birds to buy and sell end how to select breeding stock, has a good foundation toward success, he believes.

    Livestock classes to be judged will include hogs, beef cattle, sheep and horses. Three breeds of dairy cattle will be judged in thie contest, and leading breeds of poultry Will be included in-the poultry judging comps tltlan. — -------------- - -— —-------_

    State specialisti in livestock, dairy and poultry on the California Polytechnic ataif, and leading judges from elsewhere in the state, will place the animals and birds and listen to oral reasone. Julian A. McPhee, chief of the bureau of agricultural education, and regional supervisors, will be in charge of the contests.

    Only the state championship livestock judging teem will enter national competition this year, competition in dairy cattle and poultry judging having been postponed. The Tomales high school Future Farmer team which won the state title here laet May won the national dairy cattle judging title at St. Louis Juft fall against 32 state teams.

    Seniors Enjoy DitchDay At Cambria Pines

    Thirty enthusiastic ssniors with their faculty advisers left Crandall Gymnasium Tuesday morning, May. 2, for Cambria Pines Lodge to celebrate the traditional Senior Ditch

    Events of the day were many. A baseball game, In which Dr. Crandall and Mr. Macfarlane were the mainstays of the winning team, was one of the biggest features. Both Dr. Crandall and Mr. Macfarlane performed like veterans, hitting and fielding In true "bushbail" fashion. Dr. Crandall was the hero of the game In the laet of the ninth. There were two away, and the wore stood. 12 to 13, In favor of the team in the field, when "Home- run” “Bucket” Harteon trudged sloppily to the plate. "Bang!” He hit the first ball pitched for wnat looked like a sure home run over the left field fence. (P. 8. The fence had been taken out.) But as Dr. Crandall was in a hurry to end the game and do ju.tlce to half of a fried chicken, he pulled a "Tarsan," climbed a handy pine tree, speared the ball with one hand, and ended the fracas. „~ “Chow call" wae sounded and all hands gathered In the dtalng room where the seniors were served a delicious chicken dinner, with etrawberry shortcake and strawberry Ice cream for desert. Frank Carroll and Francis Hopkins raced to see who could consume the most chicken, Hopkins fl- nelly winning after eBting eleven chickens to Carroll’s nine.

    In the afternoon members of the class enjoyed ball games, tennis, cards (more ice cream!) and horseback riding. John Hyer walked off with the equestrian honor* by taking two “brodles” within fifty yards of the barn. He then decided the hors# was too gentle for him and led it back to trade In on a more spirited steed.

    Nine gallons of Voile’s Ice creaia, a gift to the class from the manufacturers, tested the capacity of every senior. Mr. Macfarlane proved the champion of history by eating approximately two gallons.

    Finally, when no one could even think about ice cream (with the ex- ception of Champion Macfarlane), without suffering, it was decided to call it a day.

    Block “P” AlumniMake Good Showing

    California Polytechnic’s Block "P" club has been instrumental in supplying valuable athletic materials to other junior colleges, state colleges, universities, and professional athletic clubs. Among the former club members, several have risen to great heights as athletes in larger school*.

    Gib Rambo, ex-’29, who was for years a basketball and track star at Poly, has th i| year starred a* ona of Fresno State College’s outstanding football, basketball, and track men. He has earned his numerals in track and football and a letter in basketball.

    Art Johnson, ex-’23, who at one time was Polytechnic’s right guard, is carrying on at Fresno State College with Gib Rambo, has earned his football numeral.'

    “Spider" Simmons, ex-’31, for two years a varsity, football, basketball, and tennis man. Is stationed at Fullar- ton Junior College, but he says that he wishes he were back at Poly.

    Bill “One-Shot” Van Voorhis, ex-’31, one of Poly’s former "big boys," has found a steady berth on the Golden Bear’s junior varsity crew. He wae a t one time a Poly football and basketball star. '

    Fred Louis, ’26, a versatile athlete while at Poly, has taken up wrestling at the Univerelty of Chicago, where he won recognition as a championship wrestler in the 116-pound class.

    Milt Burnham. ex-’31, formerly a Poly quarter-back, le now flying the color* of Santa Barbara State College, where he starred on the freshman football squad.

    Orvill* Condray, ex-’31, a hard hitting half-back of severai Poly football teams, this year is attending the University of San Francisco, where . he is hailed aa a coming icorer of the next season.

    Gordon Hatelhurst, ex-’31, with Orville Condray, has reserved a regular position at left end on the football team of the University of San Francisco. He is an important man on the U, S. F. baseball team. Gordon has accounted for many athletic victories for Poly.

    Floyd Jordan, ’31, Poly’e Peppiest yell leader, has maintained his school spirit In the University of Washington.

    These are but a few of the many ex-Block “P” men who have carried on and proved their mettle.

    Honor Roll Gains;. Study Hall Loses

    Depression may have hit other campus grounds, but not the last six weeks’ Honor Roll. The list of honor students for the last term -is longer by far than that of ar.y other eix weeks’ period thie year. Thie fact may, no doubt, be construed by some to indicate that financial embarrassment is a spur to Intellectual activity. Be that as it may, a most encouraging situation exists a t present, with twenty-nine atudents on the Honor Roll and only flve elated for the night study hall for deficiencies in scholarship.

    Six men hold the distinction of having made honor grades for the entire year. The junior college division claims flve: Delbert Chamber*, Joel Davis, Will Dawson, Robert Houston, and Carl Smith. Stan Bryson of the Senior Class in the high school division alone holds this honor. I

    Other members of the last Honor Roll are: Frank Barbaria, Floyd Bell, James Bogert, John Cordosa, Harley Cox» Clay Davidson, William Dlener, Alva Gregory, John Hurtt, Axel Johnson, Carl Johnson. Edwin Jones, Vernon Leach, Donald Macfarlane, Ray C. Nelson, Robert Nevln, Eugene P atterson, Frank Piper, Dan Sagaaar, Donne Schneider, Ernest Scott, Edward Vermaaen, Walter Whittier. ’

    EarlyOlympicGames Strictly Regulated

    Racing Most Popular Event; Eligibility Rules Are

    11 Enforced.(By Coach Ray McCart.)

    Sinc^ the attention of the world is turning toward the Olympics in Los Angeles thl* coming summer, it U interesting to contemplate the history of the Olympian games and how they came Into being.

    The flrat recorded Pan-Hellenic celebration was held at Olympia, Greece, 776 B. C. and then every fourth year until abolished by a Homan emperor in 390 A. D. During these centuries th* games became very popular, and a large stadium and magnificent buildings were built. Before, each festival, heralds journeyed through Greece announcing a sacred truce among all warring peoplaa so that visitors and contestants might go to and from th* games unmolested.

    Even in th o u times rules of eligibility were enforced with probably ae much discussion and disagreement as at present. All entrants for the games must have an examination, they must be of Greek blood, never have committed e crime, must take an oath to compete fairly, muat have kept training for ten months before the games, ana muit have spent the last month In Olympia. (I wonder If any Romans swore they were Greeks, or if any Greeks who had b u n caught speeding fonceafted the feet.)

    Races were the most popular events at the first Olympics. The distance of the footraces depended on the length of the stadium. One length w u about 200 yards and th* men raced down and back 24 times. Boys were expected to race about half the distanco covered by the men. The short rune had four In e heat with the winner competing. Later races in armor became popular.

    The Pentathlon constUdfl" of five event*—running, jumping, throwing the javelin and diacue, and wrestling. This wae th* method of determining the beat all-round gymnast. Th* jumpa consisted of the broad jump and tne hop-step and Jump. Javelin throwing was popular. The Javelin was 8 to 10 f u t in length, or varying weights, and had thongs wrapped near the middle of grip. Th# discua was thrown without complete turning of the body. In the wrestling events a common method ueed wae to try to throw the opponent to the ground without falling with him.

    Boxing was a part of th* events. Ih thie the Greeks wrapped their hands with thongs of rawnide and, without gloves, would fight until on* was knocked out.

    Later horee racing with chariots and still later, with Jockeye, became a part of the games.

    Originally the contents took only one day, but finally the time wae Increased to flve days. Women were not permitted to attend at first. The victors of the Olympics were greatly honored abroad and in their own locality. The reward at the games wae a crown of wild olive branches or a palm branch. Theae brought as much joy to the contestants of that day as do the gold medals and watches received now.

    To the people of the State of California:A definite indication of an, advancing civilization ii a growing

    tendency to revere and appreciate the noble/ sentiments of people toward each other and to all lower 'forms of life.

    The nation-wide “Be Kind to Animals Anniversary" from May 17 to May 28, 1032, therefore offers to the American people an opportunity to again pay tribute to recognize the need for the furtherance of a deeper and more profound humane attitude in the interest of all lifs.

    Kindness to animals Is something which should appsal to all classes of society, old and young. In being taught the principles of humaneness, the child is learning a lesson that will bring forth fruit in after years in every aspect of his experience. He will become a better citizen with a wholesome regard for the rights of others, for kindness to animals carriss with it the idea of larger friendliness for one’s fellowmen.’ As Governor of California, I urge all schools in the state, and all representatives of the church and other organizations to observe this period from May 17 to May 28 and to exemplify this spirit of friendship each day throughout the year in a more kindly humane attitude toward one another and toward the animals whose inability to apeak a language understandable to many of ua, places them under our guidance and protection.

    In witness whsraof, I hereunto set my hand and cause the Great Beal of the State of California to be affixed this fifth day of April, h i D. 1082.

    THJB FUTURE OF SPORTS AT POLYTime: The-night before the Far Weatern Conference Champion

    ship game with the Freeno State Bulldogs. The rally is on. Poly spirit is running high I Everyone is asking: “Are we going to win that game tomorrow?"

    “Well, I’ll say wg are! Who said Fresno State could beat us anyway? They’re not so good! Walt till McLean starts running wild through their line We’ll show them i“ The rally proceeds with this stirring spirit backing the players.

    Now why can’t Poly be playing in such competition 7 Why can’t the players have the student body behind them ? The reason: in the first place, many good athletes go to other schools in perference to ours. Why does this happen? It happens because the students at Poly care to little for the athletic program that they would rather go to the beach during a football game or go to the show during a basketball gams. Not until the student body will beck athletics whole-heartedly will they advance much. If the student body would get behind and pueh th r athletic program along, and if each student would bring new material in from his home town, we could be playing in games such as ths on# mentioned above.

    Wouldn’t you aa a student feel proud to cheer a team that was made up of fine, strong, husky fellows that were fighting for you out there on the field with all their heart in the game? You bet you would. You’d feel mighty proud to go home and describe the game and tell what a wonderful team you had. Well, you students can make it that way if you co-operate with the athletes, and now is Just as good a time to start as any. To tell the truth, this student body backs no athletic games with the possible exception of Homecoming. Now, why can’t Poly etudents back ALL the games as they do In the Homecoming game? Can’t that spirit last for more than Just one game during the year7 If it did, the future of Poly In athletics would be doubly increased.

    The fellows that ars coming back next year for sports astwell as to get thair education are Worthy men, Most of them have played for Poly one or two years in some one of the major sports. Ths future is bright for thsse| fellows, and It seems that we, as a student body, should make It brighter. Poly is now in a new conference for next year. The competition will be as strong as ever with; Moran, Salinas, and Santa Maria J. C. as our opponents. Now these men would like to see new material here at Poly next year. •

    Listen, fellow students. We can have a coming championship team if we all fight together. Who knows but that ws may be playing Freeno State College in a few years from now, if only more students will turn out for athletics so that ws can have a substan- tial team. Coma on, fallows, the drive ii on for bigger and better teams. Let’s have more support behind athletics.

    Twelve Neophytes Receive “ Plenty” In Block “ P” Initiationpltronlze Those Who Advertise T H E P O L Y G R A M 3

    strenuous Week-end Given Block“P” Candidates April 15th to 17th

    Block "P” members enjoyed the annual week- outing at Arroyo Seco, April 15 to 17.

    Promptly at four o'clock on Friday, all members lift in B»»igned cars, with each neophyte carrying three egg*. After two hours of riding over bumpy Midi, with Neophyte Hartson running back* to look at signboards^ the campsite was reached.

    Tha initiates were immediately sent out in aiiest of fire-wood, made to clean camp, to cook, Jnd to assist the old members In any way they could. A roll-call was sounded every few minutes it which time each new member was required to live an account of himself. The last ohe in line m required to assume the angle to receive a faultily swat.

    Candidates were dubbed with special tongue- twiiting names by Sir Francis Hopkins. Any impoliteness or neglect, in using the appropriate title of “mister’’ was rewarded with blistering cfaiitlaement. A fter what seemed years of wait- jig, initiates received beans and coffee made by Neophyte* Oliveras and Enberg, under the su- pirvision of “Mister" Carroll, who was armed to the teeth with big clubs.'

    As soon as the bonfire wus roaring, new members were given two minutes to think up and en- Kt a play. As tne “dramu,f was a decided failure, individual acts were required.

    Hank Vervais was persuaded to give a muscle dance, with Herb Enberg singing as an accompaniment, “Was That The Human Thing t ’ Do?"

    "Buck*!", Hsrtaon w u required to ■ hcltlm upon, “How Long la Piece of bring.” Bon Munoz then explained why t green tomato la red. About that time Karl Monaen contracted the bright idea of breaking egg* in neophyte put keta. After this, a ten minute Mermmion wae allowed for the wash- ini of egg yoika from handa, facns, ud hair.

    During the time out, four bruiaed tad battle-warred Initiates succeeded is running away and remaining out-

    ‘ Sdt of camp moat of the night until they finally worked op nerve enough I* return.

    Hiking and awimmlng were main nenta on Saturday. Everybody turned wt and explored the canyons and riu- K T caves washed out by high

    is, the evening Karl Monaen renew- id his egg-breaking activitiea. Finally two bright initiates took their eggs ■to a nearby canyon and made them OKk-proof by boiling,

    After a pile of wood had been W s™ the. regular initiation com- ■mead. A pile of liver wae laid out ? . rock. New members were»»n lined up and when the aignal wae rv»n, plowed forward on handa and ■Wf* to the rock to pick up a piece
