The historical website, oldsf.org, contains a map of the city where you can look at pictures from a certain location from the 1850’s to 2000. While on the website, I discovered that San Francisco State University has lot of old photographs of the school in its early days, dating all the way back to 1931. So here is a little glimpse into the past to see what SF State Students, and student life was like back in the 40’s.

Two students (Charlotte Huffman and Madge Lude) drag Jim Cosgrove by the legs during the “Sadie Hawkins Day” race in 1947.
