ABOVE: Visitors get a closeup look at marine organisms in a display tank at Humboldt State's marine laboratory in Trinidad, Calif. The lab, which opened in 1966, was constructed originally as a Fisheries Laboratory and expanded in 1974. In 1979 it was dedicated as the Telonicher Marine Laboratory, after a longtime Humboldt State Professor, Fred Telonicher. In 2011 a major renovation further expanded the lab's visitor and research facilities.
ABOVE: This undated photo shows an early campus computer. Computerized registration and grades keeping arrived in spring 1958. Today, of course, computers are an essential part of the student experience and Humboldt State offers a major and minor in Computer Science.
TOP: This photo, probably from the early 1960s, shows students engaged in the KHSC Television workshop. Broadcasting began on campus in partnership with KIEM radio, then located in the Vance Hotel in Eureka's Old Town.
SECOND FROM TOP: The Co-op was the campus outlet for school supplies and refreshments before the construction of University Center, where you can find the HSU Bookstore today. At the Co-op, students could buy everything from Humboldt State memorabilia to photo developing chemicals and a soda.
THIRD FROM TOP: In this undated photo, students practice with the ball during a rhythmic gymnastics course. In the 1950s, gymnastics performances were featured during basketball and football halftime shows.
BOTTOM: Track & Field student athletes practice on HSU's track, made from recycled rubber. In 2008 campus completed the Kinesiology & Athletics Building, which along with the Redwood Plaza, has brought a new look and feel to Redwood Bowl.
