How can over 3,000 concentrating minds on one concentrated high school campus keep from making Poly a wonderful school? We had experts in all fields of participation and were looked up to as one of the best high schools in Southern California. Our students concentrated on their CLASSES and many became honor students. Almost everyone participated in at least one of the wide selection of ACTIVITIES open to us all, and we were proud of the honors poured upon Poly in these fields. We attracted some of the cream in teaching to our large institution and enjoyed the benefits of a superior FACULTY. We were widely renowned for our excellent showing in ATHLETICS, in which we won several championships. All in all we showed ourselves and others what a truly concentrating student body can achieve with a multitude of efforts. So in concentrated form, here is your school. Poly High, reproduced on these pages for you so that you can relive the wonderful school year of 1955-56. (? O N C E n m

In Memoriam CHARLES G. BARTO Th e TiS|t C Cigres through the trees of the darkened campus --a campus on which he spent hrrteen years of a life which he dedicated to his family, to his students, and to his many ather friends. . . . And now that he has left us, we search for words to speak of him, yet find vords at loss. But here, in part and deeply meant, are our thoughts of him: My friend before me, in all save breath. Seems the same as yesterday, I gaze on him and gently say: He sleeps; and soon he will arise and take Me by the hand. I know he will awake And smile on me as he did yesterday; And he will have some gentle word to say. Some kindly deed to do; for loving thought Was warp and woof of which his life was wrought. He is not dead. Such souls forever live In boundless measure of the love they give.
