So students could take tap-dancing for credit at the time?

I'd like to see a compilation of courses offered through the years that are obsolete. I'd even compile it if someone made it worth my while. (I know, I have bizarre side-interests).

Obviously way before students (and Americans in general) adopted a diet of fast food and sodas and inactivity as a lifestyle.
And the instructors legs! :biggrin:

While trying to figure it out I found this old State Gym picture. Until 1946 we still did hoops games there. Kinda cool.

Ah the memories of playing pickup games on the end courts and dribbling on dead spots on those courts.

Wow never realized how long ago the suspended track was hung in State. Is it still there? Haven't been there in many years. Last time I looked in it looked like it was being used for dance maybe. By the way great pics by both Go2Guy & Boxster.
