Long Beach State - Mechanical Engineering Students
Circa 1978. Long Beach State, or more formally California State University Long Beach was originally named Los Angeles-Orange County State College due to its location near the delineation between those two counties. It was aptly named as most students resided in one of those counties and commuted to campus.
This photo shows members of the Long Beach State Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, the national Mechanical Engineering honor society. The group held 'ice breaker' socials every semester so that new members could socialize with those who were already members. The honor societies for the other engineering disciplines did the same within their own ranks.
This one was held on a sunny Spring day at the beautiful Newport Beach home of Professor E. Mijares, Jr.
The two young men on theft, both from Huntington Beach, California were friends before college, I seem to recall. The young man on the right grew up in Healdsburg, California in Sonoma County - wine country.
Pure 1970's!
