Long Beach State University - Pencil Prop Photo
Circa 1977. Here's fellow Engineering student Bill G. His left 'arm' is a prop in the shape of a large pencil. Bill was a staff member of the 49er Engineer, the Engineering school's student-produced magazine of which I was also on the masthead. It was published monthly during the Fall and Spring semesters, with technical articles written by staff and other students.
Why the pencil? I forget who exactly brought it to the magazine office. It was probably once part of a store display somewhere but it was sitting in the magazine office for a period of time. It was then decided to use it for individual staff photos as a common theme within each. This is one of those photos. The pencil was a fitting symbol for writing, and writing was what we did for the magazine.
The photo was taken on the west side of the building designated then as 'E3.'
