Swiftly one is carried to a new morn, a new scho- lastic year, and a new frame of mind. Poly Holds Records of 1,647 I have seen them walking among the buildings, one revealing thirty years of use while others, the cosmetology lab and the automotive industrial build- ing, were used for the first time this year. I have heard them laughing in the cafeteria as they shuffled across the newly covered linoleum flooring, and I have heard them whispering in the halls which no longer echo their thoughts because of the up-dated, lowered ceilings. I have seen them write everything they know about the American system of government on four sheets of paper in fifty-five minutes — without squint- ing — under the just installed fluorescent lighting. I have smelled the aroma of freshly-baked cookies and listened to the humming of sewing machines as the girls learned in the completely remodeled and new-fashioned Homemaking Department. They spread to every building in quest of a teach- er or classmate who could wake a desire for wis- dom. Their accomplishments are stored away in metal drawers: yet, this book is to tell their story of 1968 — a time of beginnings and finishings. TWO OF the eighty-five ROTC cadets, Robert Moore and Charles Henry, hoist the flags amid morning silence. RECENTLY erected, the auto-body and auto-me- chanics building stands deserted on January 8 and 9, as icy streets halt nor- mal activities. - ' - ;:t:,- ' C ' EXCITED about the advent of practical courses, these girls are waiting to enter the new cosmetology lab. Seconds Swirl in Teen Activity New cars, different acquaintances, class competi- tion flashed across my mind in remembering the 175 days of the 1967-68 school year. Poly opened its doors in September and I assumed my share in establishing the fads, fashions, and follies for this year — the year of the mechanical man on the moon, the first human heart transplant, and the six presidential aspirants jockeying into position as President Johnson stepped down. School life was crowded with events as I searched for time — time to park my late-arriving car on the disastrously crowded parking lot ... time to celebrate a friend ' s birthday party . . . time to sign for the draft . . . time to listen to the beat of Day Dream Believer by the Monkees or Never My Love by The Association. Classrooms and hallways forced me into kalei- doscopic mixtures of individuals. My mind, with its disciplined ideas was invaded by strange inventions of a national hippie movement. I found friendship and understanding in the school community, although many times I felt disappointment and confusion in my disrupted plans. With each day came new happinesses and difficult decisions to be made. Each second touched my life, flowing like sand through an hourglass, and unleashed my hours of anticipated hopes into a brilliant frenzy of reality. Surprise! We didn ' t forget! Lunch periods are filled with parties as seniors reach the decisive age of eighteen and realize they are becoming adults. PARKING proves to be an everyday problem as more and more students drive their own cars to school. PROVIDING A familiar teenage sight are Bob Gresham, Buddy Hodges, and Kay Rogers as they meet at a favorite local restaurant to eat pizza and to chat. LISTENING TO strains of a hippie tune, students try to un- derstand the new movement by inquiring about the hippie ' s views on living, love, and communication. TESTING PROGRAMS constitute an invaluable segment in school curriculum as students plan ahead for college entrance. Spending their Saturday morning concentrating on their exams are Glenda Edwards, Linda Sisson, and Vickie Bedwell. ARC WELDING is one of the many techniques perfected by autobody students as they proceed from simple skills to the use of more complicated power machinery. IN THE MIDST of the acquisition of knowledge two teens pause to review the past and dream. WEIGHING SUGAR and measuring a yield of CO from a yeast solution are only two activities essential in group re- search in the pilot study course in Biological Science. One can ' t live a year by observing the passing of a moment, a minute, an hour, a day, or a week. One can ' t learn to build a car by watching it done. One can ' t cause a sugar fermentation by read- ing a book. One can ' t know the heart of a friend by surrounding himself with a wall of indifference. I hear the sounds of voices issuing from the many assemblies and hear the laughter from the exchanging of a joke in a recessed arch of a hall- way during the passing periods. I say these people are living. I say these people are learning. They understand that time is to be used. They know time is not to be watched. LOOKING, laughing, and listening fills four minutes of the five-minute passing period for Bobby Bower, Mike Dowdy, and John Skelton as they delay their next class arrival.

SPIRIT DEDICATION: f 1 1 ,, m 1 1 it;; f 1 ■ iLv -u j yf tH r f 1 Life of Poly Twelve cheerleaders challenged students to a display of spirit during games and pep rallies. Preceding the year ' s activities, these cheerleaders attended Southern Methodist University ' s program to attain the fundamentals of cheerleading. Several prized awards proved their vigorous participation in learning. Led by cheerleaders, the student body voiced en- thusiasm which boosted team spirits. At each pep rally, cheerleaders invited two football players to accompany them in their dance routine to the tradi- tional Poly Blues as played by the band. Juniors, Sophomores, and Seniors attempted to win the Spirit Stick by out cheering classmates of dif- ferent classifications. On field at the games, team members animated spirit in their battle to defeat. Perhaps the most enthusiasm of Poly was shown outwardly in victory, but true spirit shone far brighter in defeat. Seniors! Michael Smith awards the spirit stick to the upperclassmen at the homecoming rally. II OH, NO! I signed my own annual! Poly students meet for the summer annual signing party in August. School Daze Begin Again Trading travel brochures for text books, beach towels for classroom desks, shorts for dresses and jeans, and sun-tan lotion for pen and pencil, 1759 students and 69 teachers began the 1967-68 school year at Poly. Some felt regret at leaving lazy sum- mer days behind, but all were eager to renew old friendships and start a new year. In late August, students met at the school to receive their 1967 annuals, to have them signed by friends, and to discuss summer happenings. Seniors, proud of their seniority, and juniors, con- scious of senior rings, returned to resume the daily routine of school. Sophomores ' faces reflected be- wilderment and confusion as they attempted to adapt to their new environment at Poly. Feet dashed from the parking lot to beat the tardy bell, rushed througbthe lunch line, and stampeded through the halls at the 3:40 p.m. bell. Chaos sub- sided as the year progressed and each student ac- cepted his role as a symbol of the never-ending search for knowledge and responsibility. IF I close my eyes, maybe they ' ll go away, Senior registration becomes hectic for teachers and students. IS ALL OF this really necessary?

Poly Stymied in Purple Quest Feverish activity with a propelling tempo char- acterized October 2-6, the 1967 Homecoming Week. Psychedelic strains and artistic designs fashioned the theme, Love thine enemy to death. Homeroom 11-3 won special honors for their elaborate decor- ations. Spirit continued to mount, and a bonfire spotlighted the night preceding the game. Exes re- turned Homecoming Day to attend the pep rally and tea given afterwards in the gym. Brilliant red roses reflected the beauty of the lovely Homecoming Queen, Cathy Curlee, as pre- sented by National Honor Society president, Johnny Hudson, during half-time of the game. Finalists Peggy Groening, Lucienda Heikkila, Dixie Hensley, and Christy Shaffer accompanied the Homecoming Queen onto the field where she was crowned. Spurred by the enthusiastic voices of student body and cheerlead ers, the Parrots clashed with the Panthers in the annual Poly-Paschal game. In the second quarter Paschal led by seven points. Poly continued to challenge the Panthers with a deter- mination to defeat. Final score of the game re- mained in favor of the opponents as 10-0, but each Parrot spectator swelled with pride in Poly ' s undying spirit and consistent energetic drive. HIPPIE LOVE-INS are out this year, but the Poly WIN- IN is hip for homecoming theme festivities. 14 AUDITORIUM blazes with signs and streamers as the Home- coming pep rally is enjoyed by Parrots and Exes.

BUCKLE UP for safety takes on new meaning as Spurlows present the Chrysler Corporation ' s safe driving show. Crowd Assembles for Hanging Hair pulling and teeth gnashing by first and sec- ond period teachers surpassed the fourth and fifth period teachers ' mere threats of suicide as sure signs that spring had brought the usual rash of special assemblies to the student body of Poly. Mr. Thurlow Spur and the Spurlows, sponsored by the Chrysler Corporation, presented a musical variety show aimed toward greater driving safety among students and their parents. The repertoire of thirty-five versatile teens ranged from Up, Up and Away to excerpts from Exodus . Ex-convict Jack Brown, with a total of seventeen years of association with people such as the Bird Man of Alcatraz and Clyde Barrow, spoke to the students about his life of crime. Hanging principals has become a tradition at Poly, and this year was twice as good in that two were hung. Mr. Gerald Ward, principal for two years, and Mr. A. B. Truitt, in his first year as principal, were honored at the unveiling of their portraits, presented from Photographic Arts, now hanging at the head of the line in center hall. SURVIVOR of four years on death row, Mr. Jack Brown tells his story of a life reclaimed from drugs to today ' s youth. 16 Talent Displayed for P-TA LAUGHS flow freely as Julia Smith and Susan Allen sing their version of Almost Persuaded . ' I DON ' T KNOW. I just work here. Mrs. Linda Denson speaks informally with a mother at open house. Just how does one combine education with en- tertainment? Sponsored by P-TA. the variety show, produced by speech students, did just that, cleverly enough so that few guessed they were being educated. Directed by Mr. James Plumlee, speech and drama teacher, the show ' s presentation was well-organized. Musical accompaniment on the piano, presented by Mark Satterwhite, added to the diversity of the program. Out of the juniors ' American literature books came two of the musical numbers. I Can ' t Say No , from the musical, Oklahoma , sung by Judy Ladshaw. Laura Cole sang Summertime from Porgy and Bess , taken from the original story written by DuBoise Heywood. Recitation of several poems and a solo dramatic act by David Edwards added an unusual flavor to the program. However, the show was not without its humorous moments. Susan Allen and Julia Smith brought laughs to the audience with their musical satires. After the P-TA meeting, parents were invited to visit teachers and discuss various activities, grades and requirements. Visitation ended at 9:00 p.m. PROVING his talent as a vocalist, senior Terry Cas- hurn performs in the P-TA program. 17 Butterflies in their stomachs and smiles on their faces, 35 nervous sophomores, juniors, and seniors sat on stage awaiting their turns at the microphone. This was the day of class officer elec- tions at Poly, and each candidate had made special preparations for this annual event. Beginning with a petition to be signed by fifty classmates, each candidate campaigned with color- ful posters, lapel ribbons and even pickets pro- claiming special desires to be elected. Though speeches were required to be of a serious nature, tidbits of humor invariably found their way into the political promises and words of wisdom offered to the student body. Camera flashes left many candidates slightly glassy-eyed and threw others into fits of uncontrollable giggles. Between speeches and voting, a week-end interlude allowed the students more time to consider for whom to cast their votes and caused excitement to mount during the waiting period. COLORFUL SIGNS display students ' ingenuity and ability.

Each passing day found the Christmas spirit rising to greater heights. Expressions of merriment beamed from the faces of students caught in the excitement of the all-school Christmas assembly and of increased party plan- ning necessary to the season. One day was dom- inant, however, in the minds of all students — the last day of school before the holidays began. Activities commenced early on the final day. Numerous homerooms staged parties before school and the informality they started was present in most classes throughout the remaining portion of the day. Clubs planned activities, such as parties where students took gifts and spent time at a local or- phanage, or where music paced some programs or where voices were lifted in Christmas carols. Dec- orations centered around the tree in center hall. STANDING proudly erect in center hall, Poly ' s Christmas tree reminds passing students that a part of Christmas means icicles, holidays, and Santa Claus. CAREFULLY trying not to make a mistake, Vicki Rizzo, Linda Hunt- er, and Sandy Purser participate in a Christmas lea planned, pre- pared, and given for homemaking students. SILHOUETTED against the backdrop on stage, the chorus under the direction of Mr. Bernard Ackert per- forms in traditional holiday fashion. 21 DINNER for an athlete? Donna Hampton, Steve Rowley, Shirley Sims, and Terry Lindley chat quietly. CERTIFICATES for outstanding players of tennis are admired by Diane Brackin and Gary Metcalfe. Muscles Rest; Hunger Wanes Tables groaning under the weight of food necessary to feed 103 athletes, no longer in train- ing, and their dates were the trademarks of the athletic banquet. Master of ceremonies, Mr. Henry Montgomery, opened the program with the introductions of the 10 coaches, and 19 special guests. Each partici- pant in sports was introduced to the other ath- letes and special guests by his respective coach or sponsor. Dr. Richard O ' Neal was the speaker for the night. His topic was, appropriately enough, Four Goals That Each Athlete Should Keep in Mind During School and After Graduation. This talk was followed by the presentation of the athletic awards. Steve Putnam received the Mr. T award from its namesake, Mr. C. A. Thompson. The J. J. Lyles award went to Gary Kennedy, while Jimmy Don Roberson was given the Dan Douglas award by Coach James Brewer. Mr. Henry Castillo pre- sented Johnny Hudson with the sportsmanship trophy to close the awards. HOLDING their newly acquired trophies are Gary Ken- nedy, Johnny Hudson, and Jimmy Don Roberson. -% HEAVY, HEAVY, HANGS the fifty-pound papier mache heart, suspended above the all-se nior Valentine Court, elected by the senior class.

This apparent awkwardness is not consistent with their performance of the Boogaloo and the Shingaling . Hearts Reign for Valentines Bright formals, brighter hearts, but brightest of all, the smiles of King Phillip Barney and Queen Judy Tunnell announced the approach of Valentine ' s Day. Coronation of the new king and queen took place on February 12, 1968, while finalists, Jean Bobbins and Gene Wilson, Julie Colehour and Bichard Heizer, Cathy Curiae and Steve Putnam, and Sandy Purser and Eddie Hightower, served as the Boyal Court. Deep curtsies marked the presentation of 15 club sweethearts, six cheerleaders, and their escorts to the court. Entertainment for the royal group, who were elected by the entire senior class, was provided by Terry Casburn, Sonny Wynne, and David Tyson. Each of these performers sang two songs with romantic themes, which helped set the mood that lasted throughout the program. Eight couples waltzing to the traditional strains of Charade began the finale of the program. After one dance, the king and queen descended from their thrones to lead the last dance, and the final scene visible was the king and queen framed in the closing folds of the golden curtains. DECORATIONS for the program are prepared by Wayne Williams, Debbie Kahler, Bonnie Reaves, Paula Puckett, and Sue Hart.

Four students were named as members of Who ' s Who in Ainerican High Schools as a result of their academic achievements and their scores on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Each of these stu- dents was either a finalist or holder of a letter of commendation in the National Merit Scholarship competition. Spring was the season for service awards to be presented.

Participants in the Follies auditioned their im- aginative acts during extra hours after school. Per- formers concentrated on a psychedelic setting. Open- ing the Follies with That Entertainment. ' the stage band, directed by Mr. Carlton Lancaster, pre- sented the lively background for various acts. Spark to the show was added by the erratic slap- stick of Linda Baker and Tony Santaumauro with their humorous portrayal of Maxine and Henry. Pattv Rivers, umbrella in hand, presented her comi- cal version of Tiptoe Through the Tulips. Among the Can Can dancers, quartets, solos, and folk singers appeared the duet consisting of Julie Smith and Susan Allen of Everman High School. They inspired many with the ballad, Jet Plane. Terry Casburn sang Going Out of My Head and Sonny Wynne performed with Theme from the Valley of the Dolls.

Working seven weeks, four to five hours a day, vith many hours of overtime during the Easter holidays, forty students including such crews as props, set construction, lights, advertising, sound effects, and make-up. strived to perfect the drama. This effort was amply rewarded by the applause from the 427 parents and students who attended the play. Fifteen homerooms which supported the play collected S2.50 each in order to receive two free tickets, distributed by a drawing.

SENIORS, we finally made it! President of the senior class, Richard Heizer, registers the final results of the Senior Magazine Sales Campaign. Seniors Exceed Goal of $9,000 Aching feet, bruised knuckles, and sore throats marked the annual Senior Magazine Sales Cam- paign, as 60 per cent of the energetic senior class went from door to door selling subscriptions to 135 of the best-selling magazines in the United States. In his ninth year as sponsor of the sales cam- paign, Mr. Donald Norton spurred seniors on to sell the greatest amount per salesman sold during his years of supervising the campaign. Each senior ' s quota of .S50, which paid for all, senior activities, produced a total quota of .S9,000 for the entire sen- ior class which was surpassed at SIO.058.80. Homeroom quotas were established according to the number of students in each homeroom. Eight homerooms meeting their quotas were awarded coke parties. Other prizes presented during the campaign were the mystery salesman, Night on the Town award, and top salesman of the entire Sen- ior Magazine Sales Campaign.

Since the first day of the school year, time has been creeping towards graduation bringing several activities for its preparation. Approximately 200 seniors who planned to continue their education in college registered and took either (he SAT or ACT tests. Afterward, they spent several weeks anx- iously waiting for the resulting test scores. At the completion of first semester, excitement began to mount. In one quick January morning, all seniors were measured for their caps and gowns by the representatives from Schmidt Engraving Com- pany. Seniors also filled out order blanks stating the amount of announcements desired. Preparation also stressed good grades and study habits up to the last minute. Final exams tempo- rarily took the expectation of activities from the minds of seniors and filled them with information. With the arrival of caps and gowns, seniors rea- lized that one of the most important days of their lives was here. Mixed feelings followed seniors out of Poly and into college and careers. ANOTHER DECISION! Seniors Jan Harbour, Patricia Stedham, and Pat Harlan decide on announcement accessories. TWO I.MPORT.ANT numbers necessary for gradua- tion are cap and gown measurements. Mr. Harold McKee, representing Schmidt Engraving Company, and Tommy McRay measure seniors, Ernest Gilling- ham and Joe Acker, only two of 382. 33 AMONG THOSE participating in the traditional procession under the arches are Pam Norrell, senior, who was chosen as Miss Poly, and Phillip Barney, senior.

Two hundred and forty-nine seniors and sponsor- ing juniors attended the dance at the Four Seasons Ball Room at Western Hills Inn. Three hours of music and entertainment were provided by The Sundown Collection, a rapidly rising local group of popular musicians. Junior Favorites, Libby Flowers and Charles Roberson, and Senior Favorites, Dixie Hensley and Steve Putman, were announced during the band ' s first break. Who ' s Who were announced im- mediately following them, and the 17 celebrities gathered praise throughout the night. One hour later. Mr. and Miss Poly were pre- sented to the students. Pam Norrell was elected Miss Poly, while the senior class chose Jimmy Don Roberson as Mr. Poly for the school year of 1967-1968. The traditional ring-turning procession through the two arches was led by Richard Heizer, class president, as the band played Sounds of Silence. SELECTED as class flower and song by popular vote, red roses and the Sounds of Silence, carried the motif of the prom for the 1968 seniors. 35 Antics Precede Popular Picnic Humor, sarcasm, excitement, surprise, and recog- nition were combined to create the Senior Day Program on the seventeenth of May. After over three-hundred and fifty robed seniors entered the auditorium, Principal A. B. Truitt presented thirteen Who ' s Who as well as Mr. and Miss Poly and recognized the honor graduates and departmental award winners. Highlighting the assembly, twenty-five seniors staged a skit directed by Mr. Guy Thompson and Mrs. Alta Dollar and student director. Gene Crouch. It included approximately thirty comic antics and parodies on teachers, classroom events, school rules, and other memorable experiences of the year. At the close of the program, 370 students rushed to Berger ' s Lake to enjoy the traditional Senior Picnic. Despite gray clouds, many challenged the cold water while others engaged in a baseball game. Finally, all got in line for the supper. ALTHOUGH several brave seniors try the freezing water, VIBRANT seniors swing and rotate on horizontal bars at Berger ' s.

Slumberless Seniors Pack Park At 11:00 p.m. on May 30, approximately 503 energetic 1968 graduates of Poly and dates har- monize screams of enjoyment with thirteen other high schools ranging from Texas to Colorado at Six Flags Over Texas. Tickets for this excursion, sponsored by the P-TA, were priced at six dollars per person. This included a dance with a special band and one dollar per senior for any refreshments or souvenir he desired. President of the P-TA, Mrs. Jerry L. Wynne, provided thirteen chaperons for the outing. All rides, except those on Skull Island, were opened for business until 4:30 a.m, when many tired but happy graduates dragged from the park. ANTICIPATING an aerial view of the amuse- ment park, seniors board the Six Flags ' Astro- lift with the aid of a ride assistant. 38 Current Events Global News Involves Texans While Poly students pushed pencils across test papers or repeated dialogues in foreign languages, time plunged onward in the national and inter- national scenes. Through the six o ' clock news we silently watched a young man as he squeezed the trigger of his rifle and wilnesed his enemy crash to the ground. Our nation viewed in horror the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy. In that same minute, candidates for presidential and gubernatorial nominations prepared speeches to insure their elections.

With every step down the aisle, gowned seniors felt proud of their accomplishments. Thoughts varied as introductions were made and speeches concerning reality and awareness were given by the honor graduates, Judy Marshall and Gene Wilson. The night ' s activities were crowned with the claiming of diplomas and the tassel turning. Principal A. B. Truitt recognized six seniors graduating Summa Cum Laude: thirteen ranked Magna Cum Laude; and forty-eight earned the rating of Cum Laude. Receiving recognition as members of the National Honor Society were sixty-one seniors. Just as the music rose, it gradually faded away one hour and thirty minutes after 8:00 P.M., leav- ing only vacant seats and crumpled, shoe-smudged programs.

Baskets of fruit were distributed among the women before the girls left. Twirp Week was observed during March 25- March 30 with the tradition of girl-ask-boy revived. Preceding the dance held in the gym with the Stained Glass combo, the girls and their dates competed in the various booths. Saturday was the day for the picnic which boasted activities as bal- loon stomping and egg throwing. For Easter, the girls traveled to five city hos- pitals and distributed fifty Easter baskets to the children on April 3.

Bio-Chem- Phy Scientists Publish Directories Long before the actual school year began, mem- bers of Bio-Chem-Phy, Poly ' s honorary science club worked busily on their major project of the year, publication of the 1967-1968 student directory. Members of the club, acting as advertisement salesmen, canvassed the city in search of ads to finance the directory. Over nine hundred copies of the finished product were sold to students and busi- nessmen when the directory came out in early October. Members of the club included those students with a semester average of A in chemistry or physics and an overall B average in all other subjects. In March, an informal party honored old mem- bers and their dates. Bio-Chem-Phy ' s annual ban- quet welcomed new members, inducted at the be- ginning of the spring semester.

National Honor Society Burning Midnight Oil Pays Off During the seventh week of the spring semester eighteen junior and fifteen senior homeroom teach- ers averaged the grades of their homeroom students and submitted the names of all who had a grade- point average of 2.55 or better. After all the faculty voted on this group, 59 new members were added to the 26 members. On April 10. the National Honor Society inducted the new members into their ranks. These students were welcomed into the club by President Johnny Hudson at an assembly for the entire student body. The group was composed of 29 graduating seniors, 7 low seniors, and 23 high juniors. New members are chosen only once a year during the spring semester. The first official function of the National Honor Society this year was a tea for Poly exes during the Homecoming festivities on October 6.

PARROT workshop was in Room 212, and people said that every now and then those doors opened, a staffer came out, scurried to some mysteri- ous destination, then returned as quickly as he left. Custodians reported that at periodic intervals the PARROT staff could be seen climliing the walls and muttering deadline or dead lines or something. Some of them did go to classes, but even then they were so hidden behind a huge dummy, a picture, or a proportion wheel that one would never be able to identify them. I never saw a PARROT staffer leave the building. They were there at 7:00 p.m.; and when I came to school in the morni ng, they were still there! I stood for days and days outside the PARROT work- shop; I saw no human face; I heard nothing but the warning bell on the typewriters as pressured workers finished another line of copy.

Assisting Mr. Lancaster as band officers were President Pat Main, Vice-president Stefan Prather, Secretary Melody McCurtain, Treasurer Brenda Parkman, and Sergeant-at-Arms Rex Gomillion. Combined efforts made the year a success, as the band fanfared their way into half-time activities with a blaze of color and sound. Fort Worth hon- ored the band by an invitation requesting them to lead the parade commemorating the Independence of Mexico on September 16.

As Stock Show time rolled around, active band members sought to find a few spare moments be- tween studying for finals and actually taking them, in order to practice for the annual parade. Spring rehearsals filled much of the time for the band, as the members prepared for the University Interscholastic League and Castleberry concert and sight-reading contests in March and April.

These tools were bought with money raised through different projects held during the year. Clothes for a rummage sale were collected during Halloween as members tricked or treated. A candy sale served to supplement the money in the rummage sale. The tools were to be used by villagers in a rural area of Peru to improve living conditions by providing better roads. Mr. Henry Oyervide ' s European restaurant was the scene of the group ' s fall banquet. Guest speaker, Mr. Chris Streit, president of the Dallas-Fort Worth Council of Pan Am Clubs, gave concise explanation of the organization ' s purpose and of the Peruvian project. In another meeting, slides of a summer visit to Mexico were shown by Chesley Sanders. Assisting the co-sponsors, Mrs. Julia Welch and Mr. George Dugger, were the following officers: Gary Metcalfe, president; Teresa Wright, Laura Dagley, Kay Hume, vice-president; Cindy Brooks, secretary ; and Karen Crook, treasurer.

Junior Historians Pupils Explore Pioneer Ways New and exciting activities occurred during the Junior Historians ' recent school year. Members attended meetings of the Tarrant County Historical Society which included dinners and speeches by noted Texas authorities and authors on interesting events in Texas ' history. Meetings of the club members were held to elect officers, plan social activities, and prepare for field trips in Fort Worth and other areas in Texas. These trips were highlighted by the ex- ploration of caves and uncovering of fossils. Twen- ty-six students attended the Texas Historian Con- vention in Austin on the week-end of April 27th. Junior Historians benefited students by helping them to better understand the foundation and struc- ture of their state. Cathy Curlee, senior, received honorable mention and Bonnie Reavis, junior, won first place in the Sam Houston Essay Contest sponsored by Mr. A. M. Pate, president of the Tarrant County Historical Society and fo rmer Poly student. Serving as directors, Mr. Joseph Clark and Mrs. Leslie Ann Spaulding presided in the election of officers. Gene Crouch was president; Vickie Gant, secretary; Debbie Bostick, treasurer; and Marlene Baldwin and Lucinda Heikkila, reporters. WHILE touring Log Cabin Village in Forest Park, six historians discover clues to the life of Fort Worth pioneers. 76 Art Pop Art Urges Creative Ideas IT WAS all his idea exclaims Glennetta Reagor about Michael Banks ' project which Miss Patricia McQuerry examines. Constant movement often startled visitors as they were received to Room 307. With five classes, each preparing a different type of project, the art room existed in a state of mass confusion. One class worked exclusively on sculpture and ceramics with the fruits of their artistic endeavors scattered about the art room. For the students who were interested but who had little art skill, an art appreciation class was established. Having organized this year, the members are still few. Their activities included the selling of works done by current and ex-students, an art show, and a trip to the Fort Worth Art Museum. Heading the club was Nancy Chasteen, president, Gary Lupton, vice-president, and Miss Patricia McQuerry, sponsor. MASTERING the art of construction, Allen La Plant creates fictional character faces. LOANED TO departments throughout the building, the junk art picked up unique comments from students. 77 IN THE LIBRARY sixth period, Greg Baker leain the Ijuuks must be kept in order by the Dewey Decimal System so they can be located easily.

In its second year of organization, the club was sponsored by Mr. Jerry Hickman and Mrs. Linda Denson. Tuesday night of each week, the members met at Saint Timothy ' s Episcopal Youth Building. The club sponsored such activities as a trip to Scott Theater to see the play, Our Town , by Thornton Wilder. Perhaps the most profitable activity of the group was the editing of Quest, Poly ' s literary magazine. Posters were hung to encourage students to submit original entries and from the 100 submitted, 20 were selected for publication. This year ' s issue, selling 750 copies, was unique with the photo- graphic illustrations snapped by Chesley Sanders. QUEST staffers are John Moore, editor elect; Leslie Smith, essay editor; Chesley Sanders, photographer; Linda Sisson, short story editor; Nancy Chasteen, art editor; and David Porter, poetry editor.

Future Business Leaders of America Business Careers Are Sought Development of character, citizenship, and pa- triotism constituted the purpose of Future Business Leaders of America. Sponsored by Mrs. Anna Lou Fanning, Mrs. Alta Dollar, and Mrs. Clara Mae Dillard, the club strived to develop competent, aggressive, business leaders of tomorrow. Limited to students ifi business courses, the organization included forty-five students. Through- out the year, the club enjoyed speeches given by various local business men in law and insurance. Money-making projects of the club included typing term papers for juniors who could not type their own. Activities of the club began with the installation of officers held at Underwood ' s Restaurant. At the first social of the year, a wiener roast at Oakland Park, members enjoyed the chance to become better acquainted. Members later attended a District Five Convention held at Haltom High School where Diane Brackin placed second in the District Five Miss Future Business Leaders of America Contest. LEARNING TO use the mimeograph machines, Brenda Stephens, Vickie Skinner, and Linda Carol Prigmore, further their business education. 81 MONEY collected from the Red Cross drive had to be counted daily by Billye Wood, treasurer, and Cindi Sproles, secretary. Junior Red Cross Students Encourage Good Will Pennies, nickels, and dimes, mounted to $100 as students gave through the Junior Red Cross this year. Time and energy mustered from 60 representatives sparked smiles from the needy. Founded September 15, 1917, by proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson, the Red Cross Youth Program celebrated its 50th Anniversary this year. We believe in service to others, well illustrated the cooperation and enthusiasm by Junior Red Cross during the drive which took place in October. Most of the money was applied to the making of school chests and friendship kits sent to Vietnamese Refugee Children. Each school chest contained suf- ficient health and school supplies for a class of twenty-four. Miss Leslie Ann Curry, sponsor, kept interest high by planning activities, such as a Christmas hayride. She was assisted by the officers: Kenneth McGar, president; Grunedda Adams, vice-president; Billye Lou Wood, secretary; Cindi Sproles, treas- urer; and Laura Ziegelmeyer, reporter. WHILE KENNETH McGAR puts finishing touches on Red Cross Wishing Well designed by him and Scott Dupuy, Cheri Hesgpeth becomes the first to contribute. 82 Future Nurses of America Transplant Extends Life Span THREADING the projector, Mr. Don Lade discusses the film on open heart surgery with Dr. Ula Beshear of Texas Christian University and Mary Ann Moses. KEEPING up with recent advances in medical science, Kay Rogers reads an article on the accomplishments of Dr. Christian Bernard in the field of heart transplants. Numerous advances in medical science have taken place over the years. Only recently, men have learned to transplant human organisms such as the kidney and liver, but most important, jhe human heart. Students interested in entering the field of medi- cine joined Future Nurses of Ameri ca, a club designed to open the door to their career. Sponsor- ing the club was Mrs. Frances Lipscoinb, the school nurse. Activities of the club included touring local hos- pitals. At the meetings, several important guest speakers discussed their particular field in the medical profession. On one occasion, Dr. Ula Beshear from Texas Christian University spoke to the members of her career in nursing, and showed an open heart surgery film. Mrs. Hawkins, recruit- ment nurse from Saint Joseph Hospital, and two student nurses from Saint Joseph School of Nursing also addressed the group. ADMINISTRATOR of Health Service for Fort Worth Puh- lic Schools, Dr. Blanche Terrell relates to Cherie Young the aspects of a medical career. 83 Future Homemakers of America Girls Aim for New Horizons WORKING TO lead the Poly Chapter of Future Homemakers of America, Brenda Welch, Mrs. Barbara Hammons, and Merry Bowden, concentrate on future club activities. In its infant stage, a new club, Future Home- makers of America was organized this year for students engaged in homemaking courses. With two different homemaking classes, each teacher sponsored a separate chapter of the organiza- tion. Mrs. Mara Glenn Evans directed the Eta Epsilon Chapter while Mrs. Barbara Hammons led the other group who chose to use the name, Future Homemakers of America for their chapter. Toward New Horizons , the Future Homemakers of America motto, was prominent in their thinking as they experienced planning and activities related to homemaking. Acquired poise and experience, furthered the students ' development of leadership, recreation, and knowledge of home and family living. During class sessions, the members elected officers for each period and then overall officers were elected for each chapter. Eta Epsilon Chapter, Mrs. Evan ' s group, elected as overall officers, Terryca McCoy, president; Jeanine Moore, secretary; Carol Moore, vice-president; and Sandy Purser as report- er.

Take this letter and make three copies of it. These requests were carried out by twenty senior students in twenty different job-training programs. Vocational Office Education students were em- ployed in actual paying positions in many business offices. They worked as stenographic secretaries, bookkeeping-clerical workers, and general office clerks. One period each day was spent in classroom in- struction related to their occupational training. As nearly as possible, the classroom was equipped like a functional business office with the modern equip- ment. Working a minimum of 10,800 hours during training, the Vocational Office Education students had 75 per cent who remained in full-time positions. 87 Distributive Education Efficient Work Habits Gained Designed to give high school students experience for minor selling and service jobs, Distributive Edu- cation was established. Miss Edith Hudson, the coordinator, gave students pointers on how to dress, talk, walk, and act on the job. With these sugges- tions in mind the students developed their business personalities to operate in the commercial world. Receiving regular beginning salaries, the DE students earned three credits for the full year ' s course. Not only this, but students were also given an opportunity to learn about the competition and free enterprise, which is such a vital part of Ameri- can business. To put their new knowledge into practice, the DE club sold peanuts and candy. Honored as the 1967-1968 club queen. Junior Sandra Walters represented them at all functions. Officers were chosen in September by the mem- bers of the club. Sharon Woods was elected presi- dent. The other officers were as follows: Sandra Walters, vice president; Barbara Erisman, secretary; Joy Cook, treasurer; and Jimmy Griffin, reporter.

VICA Industrial Organization Formed Busy girls twirling curls and swishing hair created intricate hairdos in the new cosmetology laboratory. Opened to all sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the future beauticians formed the girls ' VICA (Voca- tional Industrial Clubs of America) organization. Preparing for their future careers by increasing their skills, the girls participated in the district and state VICA meets. For Christmas, the girls carried toys to the Lena Pope Home. Other activities included two dances and demonstrations in learning more about their trade. In classes, girls fixed hair for special events and other occasions. Coaches enjoyed having their nails manicured while the girls were in class. Club functions are directed by Mrs. Bobbie Bickley. Presiding over the club was Armanda Rogers as president. Her co-workers were Bobbie Swanson, vice-president; Shelia Swinney, secretary; Linda Kersey, treasurer; and Pam LeFan, parliamentarian. JUST A little higher. Sophomores Sandy Lane and Sharon Cunningham put their new found knowledge into good use in the cosmetology building. 90 WE OUGHT to use a match! VICA students Larry Maddux and Cliff Robinson struggle with a flint, while attempting to light an oxi acetylene torch. VICA Paint, Primer, and Pounding Splashing of water, pounding of hammers, and flaring from torches were sights and sounds of the everyday routine where VICA (Vocational In- dustrial Clubs of America) members spent three hours of their six-period day at school. Although VICA has existed for over forty years, a new chapter was formed this year to serve the needs of this community ' s students. To assist stu- dents in establishing realistic vocational goals and to encourage the development of the ability of students to plan together was the goal set by VICA. Students enrolled in trade and industrial education numbered fifty. Activities this year included three dances. En- hancing one of the dances was the Valentine theme. During the first semester, boys washed and waxed students ' and faculty ' s cars for a small fee. Plan- ning activities were officers: Ron Pendergraft, president; Walter Sears, vice-president; Gary Snel- son, secretary; and Joey Fahey, treasurer. VICA ' s direction was under faculty leader, Mr. B. J. Richey. HEY! That ' s my hand! Wayne Bennett, demonstrates his ability to knock out dents as instructor, Mr. B. J. Richey, supervises.

Early morning drills of rigid practice characterized the 1968 Reserve Officers Training Corps which consisted of ninety- nine cadets and eight sponsors. Starched khakis and pressed wintergreen uniforms met requirements Tuesdays and Thursdays. Parades and rifle team competition among other schools made consistent weekly drills necessary. Gleaming rifle barrels proudly displayed by cadets proved their ability to clean and assemble rifles. Proper techniques in marching resulted from classroom study as well as field practice. Sergeant 1st Class Matthew Lindsay and Sergeant Clifford Boyd guided the boys through the rigorous hours of practice. However, target practice and marching were not all of the activities. To keep interest in the Reserve Officers Training Corps and to keep cadets physical- ly fit, the boys enjoyed such sports as basketball and baseball. Seasonal balls and occasional parties added to the activities. SETT ING AN example for all cadets to follow. Sergeant Clifford Boyd stands erect at all times.

ROTC Group Enacts Rigid Federal Shoes were spit shined, uniforms pressed neatly, and brass and rifles glistened in the sun as the Federal Inspection began on April 2. Colonel Stuart F. Brady, Major Guy Palmieri, and Captain Billy J. Bowers graded the cadets not only on uniforms and rifles, but also on the quality of their knowledge about other military techniques. After the inspection, classes were held according to each cadet ' s division. Questions were presented in order that the inspectors would know what each cadet had learned from his military experience. Examination of the eight sponsors came when the inspectors were served coffee and donuts. Adjourning to the office in the armory, the in- spectors formed a summary of everything they had seen and expressed their views to each other about the good qualities and those that needed to be improved. Cadets and sponsors later received a rating of satisfactory for the third consecutive year.

M. Terrell and Dunbar, the 1968 football season prom- ised to be fast passed and closely matched. Five of the eight conference teams remained in close com- petition throughout the entire season. Non-district play saw the Parrots take one of two games slated. Victory was clinched as Poly defeated Haltom 14-7. Fullback Dennis Ray received credit for both touchdowns and a two-point conversion. In the final pre-season game, Richland sunk a 6-0 vic- tory with a single touchdown in the second quarter. District competition opened against I. M. Terrell. A 66-yard run by Quarterback Gary Kennedy and a two-point conversion by Richard Heizer boosted the Parrots to a 8-6 lead at half time. With a third- quarter touchdown, the Panthers won 12-8. Pass interceptions and fumbles proved costly for Poly in the Homecoming game with rival Paschal as the slightly favored Parrots lost 0-10. Scores some- times mislead, however, for statistics showed Poly superior in play with 357 yards gained in total offense as opposed to Paschal ' s 186.

Poly Crushes Hills ' Hopes Following suit after the 1966 victory of 26-7 over Eastern Hills, Poly destroyed all hope for a return district crown as the Parrots triumphed over the Hills Highlanders 14-7. Sticking almost entirely to a ground game, Poly ripped through the Highlander defense for 207 yards. At half time, the Parrots trailed 7-0, but scored once in each of the remaining quarters for a triumphant victory. Breaking a nine-year losing streak. Poly dunked the Arlington Heights Tea Sippers 26-14. All-district quarterback Gary Kennedy led the o ffensive assault with drives of 65, 50, and 70 yards, concluding with a 58-yard scamper behind superb blocking. Strengthened by Larry Montgomery and Ken Vaught, the defense held the Sippers to a minus two yards rushing during the second half of the October game. Poly sent Trimble Tech tumbling to a 28-6 loss as Richard Heizer and Robert Smith sliced through the Bulldog line for touchdowns. Parrot defense led by Ernie Gillingham and Phil Barney, detained the Bulldogs to one touchdown in the second quarter.

Seven players attained positions on the All-District squads while the team placed second in city, both offensively and defensively. Finding their way to All-District were Gary Kennedy, Phillip Barney, Mike Dowdy, Richard Heizer, Don Rober- son, and Charlie Roberson. Rolling up 2,171 yards in total offense, the Parrots averaged 262.5 yards per game and yielded an average of only 181.6 yards per game.

Magnifi- cent defensive efforts by the Parrots held the Steers offense to a total of 53 yards. Fumbles and pass interceptions again proved dis- astrous as the Parrots fell to Dunbar 41-14. Poly, however, gained 159 yards passing, highlighted by a 47-yard aerial from Gary Kennedy to Rowe Miller, and 163 yards on the ground for a total of 322 yards. Final game of the season was victorious as the Parrots belted the Carter Eagles 27-8.

Pre-season play did just that for the 1968 varsity basketball team; for when Zone action was com- plete, the Parrots had piled up the perfect record of eight wins and no losses. Only in the best two out of three district play-off was the season marred, and then only by a total of six points. Non-conference watched Poly conclude with a 9-6 mark, including such wins as 69-40 over Paschal, 82-77, Abilene, and 76-70 over Abilene Cooper. Finishing pre-season. Poly took home a second place trophy in the annual Lion ' s Club Tournament by defeating Brewer 80-34, Richland Hills Rebels 63-60, and the Arlington Heights Yellow Jackets, 67-61. Conquest of Zone I began with a 71-46 win over the Tech Bulldogs. Netting eight field goals and 11 for 12 free throws, 6-6 Steve Putnam led the scoring with 27 points. When the two met the second time, the score was just as pleasing. Poly winning this one 66-28. Playing a superior defense were guards, Gene Wilson and Danny Allie. NOT THIS time . . .

All- district, Steve Putnam, led the scoring with 27 points. Victory came once again in the second encounter, this time 67-58. High-point men included Steve Putnam with 15, and forwards Ken Bounds and Rickey Newberry with 14 and 11, respectively. Dunbar came next on Poly ' s list and fell 53-42 and 78-52.

Parrots Roar Past Jackets Poly had little trouble handling Arlington Heights in their first game. Both teams carried 3-0 records into the match, but the Parrots ran away with what started out a close game early in the second period, winning 73-55. Sparking the victory was 6-4 Johnny Hudson, who poured in 16 points. Zone action came to a close against the Jackets as Poly won 72-54. As was the first game with Heights, the first quarter was close, ending with a 15-13 Poly lead. The margin grew as the game continued with Poly leading by as much as 24 points. Putnam canned 34 points while Newberry snagged 13 re- bounds. In the first game of the district play-off ' s a rally- ing Poly team pushed the games into overtime, and Terrell escaped by the skin of their teeth with a 70-66 victory. Steve Putnam and John Hudson led the scoring, netting 18 each. The second game found Poly clipping Terrell on a 30-foot jump shot by guard Gene Wilson 70-68.

Poly Fighters Sock It to ' Em From February 16 through February 24, the Fort Worth Star -Tele gram sponsored the 1968 Golden Gloves, which included eight participants who represented Poly, ranging from feather to heavyweight. Outstanding praise was won by Larry Mont- gomery, senior, by captivating the high school heavyweight division with bouts against Clancy Dunnigan and Max Colburn from Arlington Heights. Winners also in their divisions were Nick Wells, junior, who fought in the heavyweight division and David Singleton, junior, who battled the light- weight. Both entered as novice and were coached by the United Auto Workers. Singleton downed Lucky Herrea, ex-Poly student, in the finals for his title; and Wells won with a defeat over Richard Koen, another Poly senior who captured the runner- up title. Attracting attention also were juniors, Tim Cecil and Paul Duffy, who were runners-up in the gloves list of fighters. Duffy entered the middleweight competition as open and fought for the Firefighters while Cecil fell to Gary Johnson of Arlington Heights in his last high school light welterweight bout. Fighting in the high school featherweight divisions were Dixon Bentley, sophomore, who finished in tl p quarter finals, and Frank Burney, junior.

Lee Williams, sophomore, was chosen to run the 440-yarcl dash. Williams also placed second in the regional meet, and at the State Meet at Austin on May 3 broke the school record with a time of 48.1 seconds. Other new school records were also set this year. Don Rhode threw the shot 55 ' 41 0 , and the mile relay ran a 3:20.4. In the State Meet Tommy McRay placed sixth in the broad jump with 22 ' 21 2 . Class 4A-5 yielded a third place in district to the 24 Parrots. Lee Williams ran a close second in the 440-yard dash while Johnny Hudson placed third in the high jump. Third place was also secured by the mile relay, composed of Rusty Barnett, Richard Larson, Gary Peacock, and Lee Williams. Multiple honors were won in the season meets. At the Wichita Falls Invitational the mile relay placed first; .Johnny Hicks came in fourth in the mile run. David Sweat got a third in the high jump.

Victimized b} ' a bad start in district play, the varsity baseball team found itself in a predica- ment. Three upset losses dropped Poly from a district championship as the Parrots finished third in the East Zone 4A-5 with a 7-6 record. After losing three straight (Southwest 6-1. North Side 9-3, and Tech 4-1) the Parrots woke up and stunned rival Paschal 1-0. In the seventh inning, the winning run came when first baseman, Gary Kennedy, scored on a squeeze play. Kennedy got to third on an infield error and a single by Harvison. Paschal ' s catcher, David Browning, bumped Rowe Miller in an effort to stop Ken- nedy, and the umpire sided with Kennedy for the run. Poly played cat tamer in the next two games, winning 8-2 over the Dunbar Wildcats and 6-1 over the Terrell Panthers. Mike Withers went the distance for the Parrots in the Dunbar game, while Bill Russell enjoyed a good night on the mound against Terrell, allowing only three hits. Mark Palmer also slammed a homer against Ter- rell. Eastern Hills had all the breaks in the following game, winning 6-0. Poly, however, got five hits, allowing eight to Hills. Steve Rowley and Gene Crouch played an outstanding outfield against the Highlanders, while third baseman, Johnny Hudson, contributed much to the infield ' s effort.

Withers fanned 12 and walked none. Gene Crouch belted a two- run homer in the fourth while Mike Harvison went three-for-three with three RBI. In the second game Poly suffered from errors and fell 8-4. Encountering Arlington Heights only once, the Parrots lost a close one, 2-1. Poly took a one- point lead early in the game only to watch the Yellow Jackets score on two unearned runs. Terrell and Eastern Hills both fell as the Parrots brought the season to an end. Bill Russell proved his ability against the Panthers, allowing only three hits and fanning 14. Gene Grouch had two doubles with two RBI. and John Hudson went two-for four. Poly ' s greatest surge was in the final inning when the Parrots scored eight runs. In the hitting de- partment. Poly had eleven hits as opposed to Terrell ' s three. A single run was the ruin of East- ern H ills, Poly winning 1-0. Larry Montgomery and Rowe Miller made valuable contributions to the victory.

Since there were no district play-offs for the B-Teams, the twenty-one Parrots had to be satisfied with first place in the zone. Coached by Mr. Ted Harris, the team left impressive battle scars on many acclaimed clubs. Poly trampled Eastern Hills three times without a loss while Paschal was shut out 5-0. Boswell was dropped twice in a row, 4-2 and 6-4, and Nolan fell 2-1. Outstanding individual efforts were made by John Moore, Pat Green, Gary Balch, and Ronnie Brown.

Sponsored by Mrs. Linda Stanfield and Mr. Van Copeland, the Poly tennis team finished the season in high standing. Pre-season competition secured needed experience which resuhed in advancement in district action. Two road trips were made by the team, one to Abilene and one to Tyler. The Abilene meet proved the more profitable of the pair for Poly as multiple honors were won. In Girls ' A singles, Susan Taylor won consolation and in Boys ' A singles Steve Can- trell advanced to quarter-finals, also receiving con- solation. Freddy Hightower won a consolation in Boys ' B singles. In district, Christy Shaffer and Sabina Thorp took the spotlight by finishing second in the city. Gary Metcalfe and Eddie Hightower advanced to the semi-finals while Steve Cantrell and Susan Tay- lor finished in the quarter-final singles ' competition. Although another year has come to a close for the netters, they have not stopped practice. The team is thinking in terms of what the next season will bring.

P.E. Classes Yield Champs While Poly varsities were busy suppressing com- petition all over the city, the Physical Education classes had their own feuds going to determine which teams would claim the intramural championship. Each team went through many games and several play-offs to secure the crown in each sport. Football, basketball, and softball comprised the schedule for the boys ' P.E. classes, while the girls participated in basketball, volleyball, and tumbling. A newly introduced weight program emphasized the development of the body instead of a particular sport. The main aim of the girls ' tumbling classes was to magnify coordination and poise. Physical education played a valuable part in the life of the student at Poly. Here was found a re- lease for driving energy and a development of self- control. The quest for victory, the risk of defeat, and the urge for competition all merge to form the essence of athletics — the building factor of strong character and sound convictions. WITH the close of winter and the awakening of spring intramural classes turn to softball.

B. Truitt Encouraging a spirit of friendliness and coopera- tion, Mr. A. B. Truitt completed his first year as a principal at Poly. Planning the program of 223 classes each semester and scheduling assemblies occupied his time during the year. School policies were determined by him as he worked to provide facilities to reach the student ' s potential. Students seeking advice found ex-coach Truitt a good listener and advisor. Poly ' s chief executive has been with the Fort Worth School System since 1953, coming to Poly four years ago. Last year, Mr. Truitt served as first vice-principal under Mr. Gerald Ward. Before com- ing to Poly, he served as vice-principal at Arlington Heights High. Assisting Mr. Truitt were vice-principals, Mr. Jack Harley, Mr. Kenneth Gire, and Miss Evalyn Martel. During the year, Mr. Gire issued approx- imately 10,000 text-books. He also checked irregu- lar attendance. Spanning a period of twenty years between his two arrivals, 1947 and 1967, Mr. Harley took a position as an administrator. Among Miss Martel ' s many tasks were making administrative re- ports, arranging homebound teachers for some stu- dents, assigning all homerooms, and checking at- tendance and dismissals. Each administrator carried a concern for the overall welfare of the students.

Research Becomes a Fine Art Changes in teaching practices meant changes in study habits for students this year. Emphasis was shifted from teacher to student, requiring much more participation on the part of the pupil. History was taught with the new inductive approach . This method of teaching placed the responsibility of researching specal projects on the student. Acting as a research director, the teacher helped pupils whenever it was necessary. Music, art, and speech, the fine arts courses, had little trouble adjusting to the new system. Speech required individual effort on the part of the pupil in preparing and giving speeches. Art and music were based on the students own ability. U.N.C.LE. Party? What will Thrush say?

These mo3els were constructed by the students themselves, thereby enabling them to grasp more easily the concepts taught. Experiments superceded the lecture in science, to allow the students personal experience and physical proof of the natural laws and the myriad of conflict- ing factors which comprise nature. With this per- sonal experience, the student could readily apply the theories and accepted laws of nature to practical problems. English, too, was changed. This year ' s emphasis was on the linguistic approach that was brought about by the issuing of new textbooks last year. The subject matter was brought to life by the use of literary films and tapqs, and even dramatic stu- dent presentations in the study of great works. DISPLAYING her versatility, Junior Betty Record examines a sextant while in Algebra III. ALGEBRA students Carol Garden, Jana McKenzie, and Paula Legg use models to increase their knowledge of geometry. PHYSICS repeatedly produces the unusual. Randy Peacock is amazed at the results of an experiment testing Newton ' s Laws of motion with a ballistic car. 166 SPANISH students find the language laboratory an aid in perfecting their fluency as Mrs. Julia Welch monitors the class. NOW LOOK HERE. Whei I say ' et tu Brute ' , I mean for you to eat, too, Brutus! Sophomores Karen Bullard and Linda Hughen enact a scene from Shakespeare ' s Julius Caesar. TWO ROMANS in a cage, Romulus and Remus, are captured in miniature by Latin students, Joyce Pilotte and Sue Hall. 167 Students Gain On-Job Training Business and vocational departments enlarged their role this year with the addition of four new courses. Autobody, power mechanics, cosmetology, and vocational office education were the vanguard of the technical courses soon to be offered at Poly. These curriculum changes will help transform Polytechnic into a Poly Technical as the demand for more trained men continues to grow. Readily ac- cepted, the new courses had an overflow of appli- cants. Autobody, a field with many opportunities, trained students in the techniques of repairing damages to a car body or chassis. In Autobody I, some of the students had an opportunity to practice their skills on a few of the faculty ' s automobiles and earn some money, too. At the same time, the cosmetology students had a chance to introduce new hair styles to the feminine part of the faculty. Hyponychium, lunula, and free edge are not from a foreign language; they are merely terms necessary to a practicing beautician. IBM executaries replaced shorthand in vocational office education this year. These machines are equipped with a dictaphone controlled by a variable speed foot pedal, allowing the user to type directly from the dictaphone tape. Duplicating processes and the use of calculators concluded the course. 168 nn IBM executaries provide taped business letters and forms for practice in typing as students increase their speed and familiarity with procedures. CLERICAL practice students, Carol Ter- rell and Pam Norrell run off printed material for teachers. PREPARING a car for refinishing Billy Harden, Robert Shelton, and Sterling Westlake tape the chrome.

Caught up once in the instant when wings beat in my stomach over a disappoint- ment or triumph, I struggled later just to review the dulled scenes in my mind. Tears of joy or sadness that stained my face were merely in the shadows of those crowded yesterdays. Doubte and fears of this year fell also with that last grain of sand. At first I felt pensive at this reality and wanted to run to the past, but time coritinued. All that was left were my memories. Memories of those who poured a measure of themselves into the 1968 story fade rapidly as did the football mum and the fragrance of the orchid worn to the prom unless they are caught as the yearbook staff attempted to capture them on this book ' s pages like the lower compartment of the hourglass catches the sand and allows the hours to be successively viewed. ,thtaylor publishing company The World ' s Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made 256 y '
