A L ITTLE GALLERY HISTORY The Main Gallery was established in 1963 by Dean Emeritus Jerry Samuelson and was originally located in what is now the McCarthy Hall according to the Cal State University Department of Visual Arts website. In the beginning, the art department at CSUF was a series of temporary build - ings lacking adequate security and cli - mate control. The gallery was relocated in 1967 to the second story of the University Commons building, which is now the Titan Bookstore. The same year, Jerry Samuelson became Art Department chair, and appointed Dextra Frankel as the Main Gallery director. In February 1970, permanent build - ings for the Visual Arts Center were established and the Main Gallery tran - sitioned to its present-day location at the N. State College edge of campus. Frankel brought several historically sig - nificant exhibits to the gallery before her retirement in 1991.

With assistance from Senior Chess Club members, students were grouped into five flights: grades 1-3 (7 students); grades 4-5 (8); grades 6-7 (8); high school (5) and “super-champs” (4). The latter category was limited to rated players and/or past grade champions. The top-ranked student from his/her grade within each flight were named city champions for that grade. All flights were competitive, with a tie for second place in the At Left: 6th grade flight, and a tie for second place in the superchamp flights.
