Students inflate and shape long balloons during a campus activities event in the Quad in 1975. One participant, dressed in loose patterned trousers and a brimmed hat, works with balloon forms while others assist nearby. The concrete facade of the old J. Paul Leonard Library rises in the background, situating the scene within the center of campus life. The informal gathering reflects the creative, playful atmosphere of student-organized events during the mid-1970s at San Francisco State.
