Freidel. Miss Freidel's kind, motherly advice has done much to help many students to be more successful in their endeavors and to conduct themselves as gentlemen at all times. May future perusals through these pages be a constant reminder to Miss Freidel of the school's deep appreciation of her twenty years of loyal service as Chief Clerk in the Principal's office. VY Q? 8 MISS FREDA A. FREIDEL re entation HE purpose mf all yearhooks is to preserve the fleeting memories which make up school day recollections. I In preparing this volume W' the POLY CRACKER, the editors ,have,lnaturally, kept this thought foremost in their minds. To this end, they have endeavored to present the events and happenings 4 the Senioryear q'the Class mf 1940 in a manner strikingly dnferent than the style followed in previous years. For the divider pages, a unique plan was devised. Instead of presenting the History of the School in the style gf previous years- that of devoting one page to this article-the scheme relating the devel- opment qfthe POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE under itsfve builders, along with drawings qi these men, was ehosen. QE s Q? Qxilministration ff is N April 9.4, 1883, Mr. Joshua Plaskett submitted, before , 5 the Board of School Commissioners of Baltimore City, a resolution irequesting, and stating the definite need for, ' 8 the establishment of a BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING ScHooL for furthering the education of the pupils of the Baltimore public schools in manual training. Seeing the possibilities of such a school and respecting the untir- ing efforts of Mr. Plaskett in his determination to establish the school, Mr. John B. Wentz, the Chairman of the Board of School Commis- sioners, directed the Board to establish a school of manual training through the power invested in him by an ordinance approved by the City Council and signed by Mayor William Pinkney White. It was not long before Mr. Plaskett was to see his ambitions ful- iilled, for on March 3, 1884, the doors of the then unpretentious BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL were thrown open. The ini- tial enrollment was sixty students, and the course of study was for a period of three years. The BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCI-IooL, the first manual training school of its class incorporated into the regular public school system of any city in the United States, owes its inception to the man pictured here, Mr. Joshua Plaskett. 43.3, ,fyf hip , -- -.X L . -. v '- ' xr - 41 f - W- -' 1,,:-f rf-3 t.

The world could solve most of its problems if the material side of life did not play such an important part. The Golden Rule is easy to state but without strong spiritual convictions, it is a hard rule to follow. NVILMER A. DEHUFF, Prillcipfzf. lilevcn MY earnest wish is that each of the members of the Class of 1940 may lead a happy and useful life and that the con- tacts made at the Polytechnic Institute may contribute to this end.

RICHARD GRADY became the first principal of the BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING ScHooL, remaining in that position for a period of two years. In 1871, Doctor Grady entered the service of the public schools of Baltimore, continuing for fifteen years, during which time he was president of the Public School Teachers' Association and organized several schools. In 1883, after inspecting as the representative of the City of Baltimore the typical manual training school attached to Wash- ington University, St. Louis, Dr. Grady published an exhaustive report on the history, objects, and methods of manual training schools and proclaimed that instruction, not construction, is the object sought -the great object is educational, other objects are secondary. Following Dr. Grady's retirement in 1886 as first principal of the BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING ScHooL, the State Board of Education reported the school to be a distinguished and pronounced success. There was no exemplar which Dr. Grady could safely copy, but his varied experience as a teacher in every grade of a school and his knowledge of mechanical tools and appliances eminently fitted him to organize the BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. z A J m ww -.N U 11 x J ' K 1 6 x My v .FQ 1 A .

IVRHD SPINNING Smzinr Clfm' .iu'z'i.w1' HIS year marks the sixth successive year that senior Classes have chosen Xlr. lfred Spinning as their adviser. His personality and his experience in this position have made him a class adviser who will lie hard to surpass. However, alwove all of his gentlenianly qualities, Nlr. Spinning has rhe alwility to counsel with tirankness and yet not assume any of the duties of the class oflicers. NVQ, the Class of '40, are grateful that we have had such a nian to lead us. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Bnoouxs GRAIN, DUNN, I-IUMPHREYS, Rxrrniu-xorr. LAST june, a new plan was instituted whereby the Senior Class Adviser was elected by the third year Student Councilmeng that is, the boys who were about to become Seniors. For the sixth successive year, Mr. Fred Spinning, of the Mathematics Department, was elected the Adviser for the Senior Class. Immediately following the announcement of his selection, Mr. Spinning, along with Mr. Dehuff, made the following appointments as officers of the Senior Class: Treasurer, George H. Dunn, jr., Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Robert F. Graham, and Co-Chairman, John R. Myers, Chairman of the Senior Dance, Prom, and Banquet Committee, Harry K. Wells, and Co-Chairman, G. Robert Reese, and Editor-in-Chief of the CRACKER, Allan S. Wagner, Jr. As other members of the Dance Committee, Wells and Reese picked George H. Dunn, Jr., William J. Maguire, Carl Schade, and John McGovern. Francis Broglie was made Chairman of the Lost and Found Committee, and as his Co-Chairman, Homer Elliott was selected. Heretofore, the Senior Class Adviser was not elected until September, all of which necessitated the appointment of the above named ofiicers nearly three weeks after the opening of school. However, last fall the only balloting to be done was in the election of the February and june Class Presidents and Vice-Presidents. Edwin Grain, captain of the football team, was elected President of the June Class, with Francis Broglie winning the office of Vice-President. In the February elections, Robert Humphreys was voted President of the mid-year class, while William Ritterhoff was selected to be Vice-President. John W. Stribling was voted President of the Student Advisory Board by the retiring members of the Board last June. Broglie was made Vice-President. On Friday December 1, 1939, the Class held its annual fall dance at the Belvedere Hotel. The music was rendered by The Men About Town. The annual spring dance was held on Friday May 3, 1940, at the Hotel Belvedere, with The Townsmen as the orchestra. The Senior Prom was held on Friday june 7, 1940, at the Emerson Hotel, music being furnished by The Men About Town. The Banquet was held on the same night as Gradua- tion Exercises, June 17, 1940, at the Emerson Hotel. Twenty H. C. ARDINGER, JR.

Ford succeeded Dr. Richard Grady as principal of the BALTIMORE MANUAL TRAINING SCHOOL. 335 Lieutenant Ford's first accomplishment was the giving to 8' the school the name it now bears--BALTIMORE POLY- TECHNIC INSTITUTE. In 1887, the aim of the BALTIMORE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE, according to the catalogue of that year, was: . . . not to teach trades. It lays a foundation for many trades, and . . . recognizes the value of intellectual discipline. Some will find that they have no taste for the manual arts and will turn to other paths-law, medicine, and litera- ture. The length of the daily session was from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. It embraced three periods of one hour and fifty minutes each and lunch period of a half hour. The course, in addition to many of the subjects taught here today, consisted of geology, bookkeeping, political econ- omy, designing, physical geography, sketching, and military training. Under Lt. john D. Ford, the BALTIMORE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE became more firmly established as an integral part of any public school system. .1 xy xv mv-Hfrzp 'yws ,V---:Q 1 v Q.

Running quickly through the sports, we find out- standing such men as: Annen, Forster, and Szpatura in Cross-Country, Roda, Ward, Matthai, Karson, and Captain Ed Grain in Football, Agnoli, Broglie, and Narango in soccer, Blum, Stecher, and Derr in Wrestling, Zink, john and Carl Hauswald, Carman, Booze, Joslin in Ice Hockey, Marshall, Reese, Till- man, and Broglie in Indoor Track, Barnes, Deems, Eppler, and Weil in Swimming, Kiselewich and Kopicky in Basketball. As this book goes to print, we find the following Athletic Honors for this year: Winning the Hopkins Spike Shoe Cross-Country Championship, the first time by a Maryland school, capturing the M. S. A. Bowling Championship, winning the Ice Hockey Championship for the first time in the history of the school, gaining the M. S. A. Swimming Championship and defeating City College for the first time in ten years, winning the Indoor One-Mile Relay Cham- pionship, winning of Public High School Championship in Wrestling, Derr going unde- feated all season and winning an individual championship. The above-mentioned victories were made possible by football receipts. If any teams have felt slighted it is because football carries the whole program, and that is why I have saved any comment about football until the end. The big problem at Poly is the question of adequate facilities for our teams. Now for Football! Everyone knows how well the team played against City last year and everyone knows that since that time plans have been going on quietly to make 1940 the turning point in the Poly-City games. Head Coach O'Keefe has been working all year on forming plans for the coming season. Hen Rodgers and his famous HPOLY PENNY PANSH have been clicking steadily. This spirit is what we need. SOME DEFINITE CONTRI- BUTION AND SOME DEFINITE INTEREST IN, HOW CAN WE HELP OUR TEAM? AND NOT JUST MERELY SAYING, WHAT IS THE TROUBLE? Fel- lows, fall in line, fill the Penny Pans and keep plugging for that athletic field. ln closing it might be well to state that as the spring season finally has arrived we might stop and pay tribute to a few Polytechnic boys who made sport history. Ray Flanigan, our star pitcher, has already started to blaze his trail, Jack Annen, who has won many a mile for Poly and has a possibility of lowering the school record, Brooke Tunstall, who is playing sensational lacrosse, and Jack Stribling, who is winning with great regularity in the hurdle events. The above mentioned are only a few of our loyal stars, but they exemplify Poly Spirit because back of the headline, Flanigan Holds Patterson to Two Hits, is the story that Ray travels daily to Bloomingdale, ten miles from school, and does it because it means Poly setting the pace. Behind the headline, Stribling Wins Hurdle Championship, is the story that jack is President of the S. A. B., commutes from Annapolis, and walks to the Stadium for practice. Back of the headline, Annen Captures One-Mile Run, is the story that Annen walks in from beyond Hamilton every day and then to the Stadium to practice on a rocky track full of clay and void of cinders. Tunstall Stars as Poly Wins. Back of this headline is the story that Tunstall could have played for Mt. Washington this year but preferred to work out with his own Poly club on the parking lot of the Stadium in order to help a situation which threatened the future of Lacrosse. Cordially yours, BILL LILLY. BILL LILLY Seventy-five Hens ELLIOTT POLY'S football squad entered the ,39 season under our new coach, Herb Elliott, who hails from Delaware, where he has been coaching football for several years. The Tech gridders emerged from their first game, which was with Vocational, by tar- ring the Mechanics 28 to 0. Poly opened up the contest by taking the offensive, which they held throughout most of the game. The Vocational line was pounded by a punt forma- tion shifting into a single wing back, enabling Poly to gain yardage on most types of play used. This game was the first night football contest to be played at the Municipal Stadium. The following Friday, Tech met Southern, who gained an unexpected triumph by a score of I2 to 0. Coach Goddard's boys yielded Poly only one first down. This game was a one-sided affair in most respects, as Southern's line and aerial attacks threatened con- stantly each quarter, and twice crossed our goal line. On top of this, McD0nogh ran the Engineers under to the tune of 27 to 0. The Cadets' passing attack, which included ten passes, four of them good for six points each, were the blows that toppled Tech. However, Poly's passing attack was good, too, due to the efforts of Lumsden. Lumsden in the fourth quarter completed several bullet passes that put the Techmen in scoring position, but each time they lost the ball either on fumbles or inter- ceptions. Another outstanding feat of the game was the brilliant playing of Baugher, Cadet back, whose running, place-kicking, and passing were triple threats to Poly. Patterson Park handed Tech an 18 to 0 defeat before a crowd of 3,000 fans. The Parkers were equipped with a set of fine blockers and a fast backfield, which included Seibert who seemed a real menace to Poly. Patterson gained I3 first downs to Tech's 6. One touchdown in the first and two in the last quarter were the Pats' answer to the Engineers, who couldn't seem to click. A little more confident than before, the Engineers met Gilman at Homewood on Friday afternoon. Gilman started early in the first period to score two touchdowns, the second being a blocked Poly kick that was recovered and was good for a marker. Tech came back late in the last quarter to gain their first score since the Vocational game. Downs, Poly guard, recovered a Gilman fumble on their own 28th. A few line bucks and Tech was on the Blue and Gray 153 Freeman tossed to Thornton for IO yards. Three plays later Tech scored. Svec converted and the contest ended in a score reading Gilman 14, Poly 7. So far, the Techmen had tasted four defeats and one victory with the season more than half over. A week later an altogether different Poly team took to the field against St. joe at the Stadium and almost provided an upset. The Irvington boys scored two markers Seventy-six with both extra points good, before the end of the first half. Tech retaliated and on a long drive, scored their first 6 points, when Roda tossed a short one over the line to Svec. During the fourth period, Tech started their unforgettable and final drive which covered 75 yards. Completing three successive passes, which included tosses between Svec, Matthai, and Roda, and four running plays in which Burke scored, gained our second six. The game ended shortly with the score I4 to 12. The contest with Severn ended in a sad defeat of I9 to 6. Larry McCormick, Severn back, seemed to be too much for the Engineers. McCormick, on two long runs of 37 and 57 yards, scored on each. Both the extra point attempts were spoiled. Again, McCormick crossed the line and was successful in the conversion. After an exchange of punts, Poly's passing attack started to click and the Techmen drove from Severn's 37 for a touchdown. The coming week provided us with the tilt with Forest Park. Poly entered this game with the odds definitely against them. Forest Park was a heavy favorite, but the upset came late in the second quarter when Roda tossed a 35-yard pass to Svec, who ran 30 yards for the touchdown. Goodman's conversion was good. Poly recovered all four of the Gray and Green's fumbles during the first period. In the third quarter Forest Park took to the air. Bosse passed to jones on the 17th, but Tech held the Foresters for four downs and got possession of the ball. Bosse, in the fourth quarter, made his last attempt for a marker, this time a pass from the 35 to the IO to jones. The play was nullified and Forest Park punted to Tech's 18. The game ended about midneld with a victory for Poly, the upset score being 7 to O. Tech had a rest for two weeks for THE game of the year. On Saturday, November 18th, 18,000 highly enthused fans awaited the much-debated outcome. Poly entered the game as the underdog. City had reached thirty-eight games without a defeat. During the first quarter, Tech made the only first down, and four times forced the hard-hitting City attack to surrender. A few minutes after the second quarter started, Lumsden's pass was intercepted by Brandau, City center, who made a beautiful run for a touchdown. Working, on City's 35th, threw a 53-yard pass to Hesson, left end, who caught the ball on the Poly 12. Working struck twice at right tackle and scored. Poly made a valiant and serious threat late in the third quarter, when Tech ran and passed from its 4ISt to the City Ioth. Poly fought its heart out to the full extent of its lesser resources and the game ended I2 to O. Seventy-seven ijt' 1 ,fit Q ,. SOCCER WITH eight veterans returning from last year's championship team, Poly's soccer squad started the season with a rush. Among those boys returning to Coach Edgar B. A. Bosley were john Hudson, captain, and James Cross, both of whom received All-Maryland recognition last year. Tech's first game was a non-league encounter with Park School. Although Park man- aged to put up a stronger battle than was expected, Poly won by a score of leo. Vocational, Tech's next opponent, surprised the Poly followers by holding their own in the early stages ofthe game. However, as the contest proceeded, the superiority of the Poly team became quite evident, and Tech won 4-0. Roy Narango was high-scorer in this game, booting three of the four goals. The next team to go down in defeat before the Engineers was the Green and Gray of Forest Park. After a hard fought battle, Poly emerged victorious by the score of 3-I. Fol- lowing this game, a 1-O defeat was tacked onto the Poly record by City College. The Collegians scored both of their goals in the Hnal period. Patterson Park also took the measure of the Orange and Blue by a score of 3r2. The game was a nip and tuck affair for three and one-half periods, when the Pats scored their third marker and played defensive soccer for the duration of the game. A complete record of the season showed that Tech finished with 5 wins and 3 losses. Although he started the season as a member of the football squad, Francis Broglie decided that he would be of more value to the soccer team than he was to the more popular gridiron sport. Acting on this decision, he gave up his place as a backfield man on the foot- ball team and joined the booters. Broglie and Roy Narango received plaques from the Board of Student Activities in recognition of the yoeman service which they have given to the soccer team since they entered Poly. Seventy-eight CROSS COUNTRY SINCE its introduction to the Poly athletic realm, Cross Country has grown with leaps and bounds. The largest turnout in the history of the sport greeted Coach Waldo Hambleton on the opening day of practice this year. Such veterans of the sport as Captain Steve Szpatura, john Annen and Frank T'Schantre returned from last year's team to lead the huge number of new boys. Tech's harriers traveled to Chester, Pennsylvania, for the inaugural meet of the season only to be defeated by the well-balanced team of Chester boys. Failure of several members of the squad to furnish the needed finishing spurt marred the team's hopes of an undefeated season. Upon returning to Baltimore, however, the Orange and Blue scored a perfect victory over Patterson Park, winning by I5 to 65. The first ten men to cross the line were Engi- neers, thus making the perfect score possible. Poly's next opponent was Mt. St. Joseph, whose team battled in vain to beat Tech, the final score being 22 to 37. In this meet, a new record was set for the Clifton Park course by Jack Annen. His efforts, however, enabled him to taste the fruits of glory for a short while only, for in the same week, Starr, of City College, cut four seconds off Annen's time of II minutes and 8 seconds. City College proved to be the main stumbling block in Poly's upward surge, for in their dual meet with the Collegians, City emerged victorious by the score of 25 to 31. Poly was leading the field until the final half-mile, when two City boys passed our leading con- tender and finished first and second. City also won the Maryland Scholastic Association crown, nosing out Poly by the margin of twelve points. The Engineers finished second in the meet with a total of 43 points scored, as against City's 31. Seventy-nine BASKETBALL U HEN Coach Bill Lilly called for candidates to start the 4o season, the situation looked pretty serious. The majority of the turnouts had never seen action on the Varsity floor as they held V. positions last year. Also, failure of a couple of letter men to return hampered Coach Lilly's work. However, with some good assistance from Herb Elliott, Coach Lilly whipped up a team which turned out better than was predicted. Tech's quintet started off their season with a short winning streak by defeating their first two opponents. This showed up well for the Engineers as they were without a single returning veteran of last season. The team clinched its first victory against the Calvert Hall basketeers in a. one point lead affair, 35 to 34. A week later Poly downed Vocational 29 to 28, their second one point victory. This initial fire proved that the outlook wasn't so bad as one might expect it to be. Jimmy Svec and Ernie Dawson were the outstanding players of the first two games. The McDonogh Cadets nosed out Tech in the last quarter of the game winning 38 to 33. Special credit should be given to Dutch Schultz who was high scorer of the game with I4 points. This contest was close all the way through even though the Cadets seemed to be just a little too much for us. When Tech met Patterson Park, the Pats took their fifth straight game of the year. Poly went under to the tune of 36 to 26. Ray Flanigan, fast Poly forward, was high scorer of the game. With an average of .500 the Engineers were stumped a third time by Loyola. The Blakefield boys squeezed through a 29 to 27 victory. This game was a nip and tuck affair all the way with the lead changing hands several times. Flanigan and Schultz again played a top-notch game. Southern's five ended their season when they topped Tech in one of those familiar one point victories, 36 to 35. The South Baltimore five started off well, but Tech came right up. It was one of those goals during the first quarter that gave them the game. Poly's quintet, with four defeats and one-half as many victories, invaded that building up on the hill only to grasp the sad spoils of defeat when our arch rivals stopped us 32 to 30. The Alameda boys of City College topped off the season by copping the A Conference lead with nine victories and not one defeat. Eighty WRESTLING THPi Polytechnic wrestling team did very well this year and if our good friend Lady Luck had given the squad a little more attention, Tech would have ended the season Maryland Scholastic Champions instead of in second place. The squad won all but one of the dual meets and the only one they lost was by a single point to lVIcDonogh. Some of the scores of these meets were nearly shutouts for Poly, while others were fairly close. The hardest meet Poly had, except for lVIcDonogh, was with Gilman. The advantage was jockeyed back and forth and finally Poly emerged the victor. Poly entered the Scholastics minus Earl Hendrickson who wrestled in the 145-pound class. He was injured a few days before the meet and therefore was unable to compete. Despite this handicap, Poly placed six men in the finals of various weights. Out of these six, two became champions in their weight classes of 121 and 165 pounds, respectively, Howard Blum and Vernon Derr, and others took second place. This was the Hrst year Derr wrestled for Poly and unfortunately it was the last, for he graduates in june. During the season he didn't lose a single match and in some of the meets he wrestled ten pounds over his weight. He did this in the City meet and the boy Derr defeated became the 175-pound champion. Blum wrestled in the 128-pound class during the dual meets and dropped to the Ill- pound class for the Scholastics. Blum is a very smooth wrestler and he is never to be seen in bad form. The team that entered the Scholastics consisted of: IIS lbs. William Keagle 145 lbs. . john Phillips 121 lbs. Howard Blum 155 lbs. . William Skelps 128 lbs. George Council 165 lbs. . Vernon Derr 136 lbs. Albert Stecher CCaptainJ 175 lbs .... joseph Youch Unlimited . . . Edwin Grain Hendrickson and David Bock also wrestled for Poly in the dual meets. Although Poly hasn't won a championship in a few years, the team is always well up in the scoring and, oddly enough, usually has more of its members in the finals than other teams. liiglity-one SWIMMING BY winning the Maryland Scholastic Championship for the first time in ten years, the Poly swimming team concluded a most successful season. This year, the Tech tanksters compiled the very impressive record of winning nine out of ten dual meets. The only defeat was at the hands of McDonogh early in the season. However, this loss was avenged later in the season. The Poly swimmers took two trips during the past season, one being to Wil- mington where our team defeated the Wilmington High School 51 to 15, and the other to VVashington, D. C., where Tech triumphed over the Woodrow Wilson High team. The opening meet of the season with DuPont High was very close. The Wilmington boys won five out of eight first places, but a large number of second and third places enabled Tech to emerge the victor. Crosby, of Poly, won the 40-yard freestyle event and took second place in the 220-yard freestyle. Following this meet, Poly defeated Tome, City, Mt. St. Joe, and Woodrow Wilson High School of Washington. This year marked the first time in ten years that Poly defeated City in their own pool. At the start of the last event in the first Poly-City meet, City was leading 30 to 29. The last race, the 160-yard relay Cfreestylej, was very close, but Poly brought home the bacon by winning the race and the meet, 36 to 30. On january gist, Poly's tankmen scored an easy victory over Mt. St. joseph, 50 to 16. On February 2nd, our mermen sank Woodrow Wilson of VVashington by a 46 to 20 score. On February 8th, Poly's team avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of lVIcDonogh by defeating the Cadets by the score of 35 to 31. Poly's winning margin was again the last event, the 160-yard freestyle relay. After the McDonogh win, Poly won two more meets, and then came the championship meet at City College. Tech was more than the superior team, for the score at the end of the meet was Poly 4o, City 26. Tech garnered firsts in the 40-yard and 100-yard freestyle events, the 100-yard backstroke, and the 160-yard freestyle relay. A week after the City meet, in the Individual Championships, four Poly boys won individual championships in their favorite events. Before closing, a word of praise is due the excellent coaching of Mr. Waldo Hambleton, who brought to Poly its first championship in ten years. Eighty-two ICE HOCKEY THP1 old proverb, Victory is sweet, is magnified in Poly's case, as the puck-chasers crowded right into the hockey championship, their nrst in ten years. Mentor Fred Spin- ning has coached, and placed, many hockey teams in the runner-up positions but just could not seem to win the number-one spot. During the season itself, Poly played each of the other teams twice, winning 8 games and losing 2. Tech defeated Forest Park twice by identical scores of 3 to 2, Loyola, 3 to I and 4 to og Mt. St. joe, I to o and 3 to 2, and Calvert Hall, 3 to 2 and 4 to o. These victories, each recording two points in the league standings, totaled I6 points out ofa possible 20, as Poly lost twice to Gilman, commonly known as our Jinx team. Poly ended the regulation season in second place, three points behind the leading Gilman sextet. ln the Round-Robin play-offs, in which Poly, Gilman, Loyola and Forest Park were contestants, each team played the others once, and the undefeated team, when the smoke had cleared, was to have the distinction of being Maryland Scholastic Champion. ln the First tilts of the play-off, Poly defeated Forest Park I to O, while Gilman beat Loyola 2 to I. ln the second round, Poly beat Loyola 4 to I, while Forest Park pulled an upset by defeating Gilman 4 to 2. This put Poly in the play-off lead. In the final encounters, Forest Park swamped an out-manned Loyola six, while Poly and Gilman fought to a I to I tie. How- ever, this tie was enough to annex the hockey crown for Poly. When the tabulations were counted, Poly had two wins and a tie for a total of five points, as compared to Forest Park's runner-up margin of four points. Due to February graduation, Tech lost Bob Booze, George Heinmiller, Charlie Joslin, and goalie liddie Carman. Coach Spinning's biggest job was to find suitable replacements for Carman and defenseman Booze. After trying Dan Sugar Senft in the cage, Mr. Spin- ning elevated V. goalie Gordon to this key position. This move proved the factor of victory in the play-oH's. To replace Booze was equally as hard a task, but Randolph Fisher took over Bob's skates and turned in one of the best defense jobs in the entire league. Captain Tommy Zink, besides being Poly's stellar defenseman, scored quite a few goals from the blue line. The Hauswald twins, Carl and john, will never be forgotten for the way they handled the puck, their fine offensive and defensive work, and, most of all, their good sportsman- ship. Praise is also due Sugar Senft, Eddie Sherman, Bailey, and Murphy. Eighty-three BOWLING AGAIN this year, the Maryland Interscholastic Bowling League Championship was won by a Poly team. This year marks the fourth year in the past seven years that Poly has been in the league that the championship has been won by Tech. This past season saw the Poly A team, under the able coaching of Mr. Clifford C. Merkle, outlast the City College B team to win the championship by five games. The other two Poly teams were not altogether left out of the running. The B team Hnished up ten games out of First place and was fourth in the final standings in the ten-team league. The Poly C team ended the season one game behind the B team to finish in sixth place. In the way of statistics, we End that the Champs knocked over more pins than any other team in the league and had an average of 551.54 pins per game. Individually, Leo Sosnowski, of the A team, broke the all-time league record for a single game with a score of 173. Sosnowski also holds the three game record of the season with a 408 set. Raymond Gochnauer, John Wieneke, Charles Higdon, John Hearn, Leo Sosnowski, Robert Lorenz, and Kenneth Billingsley composed the championship A team. The HBH team consisted of: George Cary, Lawrence Beidleman, John Malone, David Schach, Nicholas Sofkianos, Kenneth Gray, and Raymond Reuling. Norman Martensen, Herbert Lentz, John Harper, Joseph Hollyoake, John Franz, Albert Plantholt, Harry Ratrie, and Arthur Bees rounded out the third of Tech's three teams. Eighty-four FENCING THIS year, Poly's fencing team had little chance to prove itself, due to the lack of adequate coaching. However, were it not for the fact that Mr. Howard Melvin, of the History Department, consented to be the faculty manager, fencing might not have continued at all this year. Captain Robert Lewis, co-captain Alan Schwartzman, William Eitel, Melvin Hanes, Keith Kelly, Jerome Stombler, Alistair S. Taylor, and manager Edwin Goldstein, despite the many disadvantages, carried the team through the season with a .goo average to take third place in the Maryland Scholastic League. The team had two unoliicial matches with the Loyola College Junior Varsity team. Results of the season's matches are as follows: Poly 6 Loyola V. 3 Poly 6 Loyola V. 3 Poly 8 Patterson Park I Poly 4 McDonogh 5 Poly 4 City College 5 Poly 3 Patterson Park 6 Poly 6 McDonogh 3 Poly 4 City College 5 Next year, with the promise of an expert coach and with the assistance of the returning squad composed of Keith Kelly, captain, Jerome Stombler, co-captain, and Wimbrough, Dufiield, and Taylor, a championship team seems almost a certainty. Eighty-five RIFLE TEAM OR the First time in many years, Poly was represented by a riHe team during the past season of 1939-40. The Richmond Market Armory was obtained after considerable diffi- culty for the practice range. The amount of practice was limited to one day a week, and, therefore, no practice could be held during a week in which a match was scheduled. Poly's representatives had to furnish their own guns and ammunition, while they competed against teams that used government guns and ammunition. All meets were held with the marksmen firing in a prone position, and eight men firing at the same time. Targets for the matches were placed fifty feet from the firing line. Tech competed with only two other teams this year. These two opponents were teams from City College and Patterson Park. Each of these schools has its own Bring range, and, therefore, has had a riHe team for several years. The boys competing from Tech were com- paratively inexperienced. Because of this inexperience, a greater part of the season was given over to the teaching of rules for a fundamentally correct team. Plans are being laid for postal meets to be held next year. In this way, Poly can com- pete with out-of-town schools without having to travel from their home range. Targets will be stamped by Coach VVhiteford and sent to the opponents who fire at them and return them. The score is then tabulated, and the winner is determined without either team having left its home range. The team was composed, among others, of John Habercam, Hamilton Howry, and John Imhoff. Tech lost all four of its meets, two to each of the previously mentioned teams. Patterson beat Tech by the scores of 234 to 225 and 232 to 227, while City triumphed by scores of 449 to 444 and 232 to 230. Eighty-six ,4-. i 1 l , , is .. . . . TRACK PERSISTENCE and patience on the part of Track Coach Bill Lilly has brought again to Poly the top team in the State. The law of averages turned against City last year and this year it seems to be favoring Poly. For the first time in six years Poly won the Public High School Championship. This seemed to predict that Tech would be closelyin the run- ning for the Maryland Scholastic Championship. Tech started off the season in the win column. The first two meets, the Public High meet and a dual meet with Forest Park, were Poly victories. Following these were the Tome Interscholastics, St. Joe, City, a triangular meet against City and Maryland Frosh, and the Maryland Scholastics. More veterans than usual, with experience, ability, and strong-heartedness, returned from last year's team. In the one-mile run were state champion Jack Annen and Elmer Shanks. Lou Stoll, who runs like a champion, was back to run the half-mile. Other half- milers were Wilkerson and Tschantre, members of the cross-country team. Ed Inglis and Earl Valenstein were back to run the dashes. Gross and Fishbach did fine work in the loo- yard and 220-yard dashes. Quarter-milers were, besides the relay team, Clif March and Howard Shanklin. Jack Stribling returned to compete in the high and low hurdles. Those who performed in the field events were: Kenny Malach in the high jump, SchaH'- ner and Seward in the javelin, Norwood in the shot and discus, Novak in the pole-vault, and Gross in the broad-jump. The Mile Relay team, always a feature of a meet, consisted of Howard Marshall, Bob Reese, Hank Tillman, and Captain Francis Broglie, running in that order. The team gained a second in a fast race in the Penn relays, running that day for an unofficial all-time Poly record. They broke a record in the Public High meet, gained a victory in the Maryland Interscholastics, and either won or placed in the Tome lnterscholastics, the Washington C games, and the Maryland Scholastics. To quote Mr. Lilly about the team: I didn't mind working with the team as long as I had such a willing and ambitious group of boys. Handicaps, such as the lack of a training field, made them work harder rather than complain. Great credit should be given Seniors Stribling, Broglie, Reese, Tillman and junior Marshall for the fine spirit they built up in the Track squad. Eighty-seven LACROSSE GRADUATION of a number of last year's men was the main reason for the small var- sity squad reporting to Coach Hack Deeley for this year's lacrosse team. Captain Larry Senft, Brooke Tunstall, Leo McKewen, George Councill, Arthur Lundvall, and George Blome returned this year from last year's team. The remainder of the squad was made up of last year's junior varsity team. Among the players who advanced to the varsity were: George Black, Tommy Zink, Randy Fisher, Dick Seery, Buck Dunn, Bill Frank, Leif Eareckson, Allan Burns, Jack Dempsey, Roland Bryan, Bill Gentry, Wally Jevon, Dave Bock, Bill Walker, Webby Bartholow, Skip Deeley, and Jack Hessey. Before the season got underway, the team had a number of practice games from which much valuable experience was gained. Included among these practice games were tilts with Mt. Washington B team, Loyola College, Hopkins V., and, later in the season, the Navy Plebes. The first game was played on April mth, with Friends, in a snow storm. However, Poly came through against the favored Quakers and earned a tie, 5 to 5. Gilman was the next opponent on the schedule, and Poly took an easy game by the score of 8 to I. lVIcDonogh, the defending champions, defeated Poly in the rain in the third game, 7 to 4. However, Tech came back strong to defeat Severn and the Navy Plebes on successive days. The scores were, respectively, II to 2 and II to 5. Boys Latin was the next victim to fall before the Techmen, and the score was 8 to 2. A few days later, Poly met a very superior team in the University of Maryland Freshmen, and Tech tasted its second defeat. With the season drawing to a close, there were two games left-two important games. Poly met St. Paul's, which seemed to have the Maryland Scholastic League Championship won, and was defeated by the Saints, 6 to 5. The final game of the season, that with City College, saw a far superior Poly team defeat the Collegians by a score of 7 to 5. Eighty-eight BASEBALL ALTHOUGH he is in his twenty-second year as coach of the baseball team here at Poly, Mr. William O'Keefe hopes he can still coach twenty-two years more. Mr. O'Keefe has also been appointed head football coach for the season of 1940. Mr. Willie is the only man at Poly who is capable of being the head coach of the two biggest sports. Prac- tically everyone thinks this is a distinguished honor for one man, but everyone must also remember that Mr. O'Keefe now has twice as many headaches. With a perfect write-up in the newspapers as to Poly's baseball prowess, Mr. O'Keefe was less optimistic and more practical. Although he was hampered by a terrific deluge of mud and bad weather, Coach O'Keefe managed to shape his charges into a fairly compact squad for their first game with Patterson Park. Emerging victorious from the opener, Mr. O'Keefe strengthened the weak spots that showed themselves, and then Tech thoroughly trounced a weak Southern squad, I6 to 3. Traveling to McDonogh, Poly had bad breaks plus a few errors, and they lost the ball game, 8 to 6, although Ray Flanigan allowed only four hits. Definitely, the best pitching prospect Poly has had in a long time appears to be Ray- mond Flanigan, who is in his second year of varsity baseball, and yet only a junior. In three games, Ray allowed but eleven hits, while he struck out thirty-four men during the same number of games, for an average of eleven strikeouts per game. Losing Buzz Turner through graduation, Mr. O'Keefe was without the services of the best catcher in the Maryland Scholastic League at the start of the past season. However, Gene Gordon, the championship ice hockey team's goalie, seems to have solved the catching problem to a high degree. The 1940 baseball squad, as it stands to date, finds the infield composed of Lumsden on first, Mariner or Clary at second, Precht at short, and Peregoy on third. In the outfield, we find Adams in left field, Svec in center field, and Noon in right field. The catching chores definitely belong to Gordon, and the pitching more definitely belongs to Flanigan, with Connor and Barrett as relief. ' Eighty-nine TENNIS AFTER getting off to an early start, Poly's tennis team,under the able coaching of Mr. George Randall, of the French Department, began an excellent season. Vocational, the first team met by Tech, fell an easy mark to the netmen when they were defeated 7-O. Our second match was an outstanding victory. For the first time in several seasons, the strong Forest Park quintet bowed in defeat when Tech triumphed 442. On its first trip, the team defeated Severn, 5-2, at Severna Park. Mr. Randall's netmen met Southern High School at Druid Hill Park. The Southerners fell an easy victim to our team, 5-2. All five of the singles matches were easily taken. In several of this year's matches, the doubles teams were a strong factor in the success of the team. Since this is the fourth successive victory, it is certain that this year's team will have achieved the long-sought championship. Around the one first-string man, Fred Koch, from last year's team, Mr. Randall skill- fully built a strong squad. From last year's reserves remained Jerry Laroque, Bob Grogan, Harry Ratrie, Bob Hicks, Bill Siskind, Dick Spencer, and Ed Goldstein. Several outstanding additions were made to the squad this year. Donald Poist, a well- known figure in junior ranks, played number two position. Bill McFarlane and Bob Meyers, just up in our ranks, vied with other squad members for fourth and fifth positions. Very competent in his duties, Manager john Witherspoon will serve in that capacity again next year. As only three of the squad will leave the ranks this June, it is very probable that next year Poly will again have the necessary stroke to be among the top-ranking scholastic tennis teams. Ninety ARCHERY AGAIN, under the able coaching of Mr. Fred Didier, the Poly Archery team will vie for the lVlaryland Scholastic Association Championship. It is interesting to note that each year that Mr. Didier has coached, the team has won the championship. As the season opened, Poly has defeated both McDonogh and Mt. St. Joseph by scores of 1590 to 700 and 1529 to 1015, respectively. Judging from the outcome ofthe first two matches, the team has an excellent chance of winning the championship again. This year Tech is captained by William Praeger. Some ofthe boys showing exceptional form at this early date are Bob Graham, Bill Rever, George Hansen, Manager Stanley Aronoff, Alan liisenberg, Bob Phillips, and Edward Hardesty. It is well to note that the call for candidates which was made early in April produced more than 100 boys. The inter-squad matches, this year, have only totaled approximately 1500 to I6OO points each. However, before the season is far gone the team will be shooting well over 2000. The highest individual scores have been shot by Bob Graham, a veteran of two years who has averaged slightly better than 400. l Very few veterans will return next year, although Bob Seery, Thomas Eichelberger, and Harry Leonard probably will form the nucleus for a championship team for ,4I. As this article is being written, there are still dual meets to be held with Friends School, City College, Patterson Park, Southern High, and, possibly, Eastern High. Ninety-one GGLF POLY golfers finished third in the first stage of the Maryland Scholastic Golf Tourna- ment at Hillendale. The Techmen who participated in the tournament and ended way up in the running were: Kenneth Peregoy with 85, Fred VValter with 92, Robert Probst with 93, Robert Gelinas with 105, and Mark Herzel with IIO. Ken Peregoy, of Poly, was medalist with an 85. Up to the present time, Poly's golf team has been victorious in five contests. According to the Nassau method of scoring, which is three points to a match, the linkmen's first tri- umph was 8 to 4 over St. Paul's. Two days later the boys played McDonogh, and defeated them 9 to 3. Mt. St. joe was trounced low to 115 next, preceding a victory over Forest Park, UIQ to 1 Vg. Last, but not least, our ancient rival, City, was taken into camp, 7 W to 41f2- Our team consisted of four veterans from last year. Kenneth Peregoy, one of the best golfers in the scholastic circle, holds down the number one position. Fred VValter, who has shown very fine form this season, takes care of the number two position. Mark Herzel proved himself capable in the number three slot. Robert Probst and Robert Gelinas, who both are very consistent players, alternate in the number four position. ln the lnterscholastic Championships, Ken Peregoy was medalist, and, also, semi- finalist. The individual records of the players during the past season were: VVON LOST Ken Peregoy II IQ 3 W Fred Walter I2 V2 2 IQ Mark Herzel 9 W 515 Robert Probst IO 2 Robert Gelinas 2 1 The faculty manager of the golf team is Mr. G. A. Vaiden. Ninety-two wtivities RQ? ff'-'M C 1 ' .2 ' I.. gy' wax: HE year 1899 is probably the most important date in the y. entire history of POLYTECHNIC, for in that year, Lt. Wil- -lg 11am R. King became principal. . . . Changes were brought about immediately. To gain admission to the school, an eight-year elementary course was required. Another year was added to the three-year course, advanced standing to POLYTECHNIC graduates at institutions of higher learning was recog- nized, and the school became an institution of advanced technical subjects. This change drew so many new students that School No. 46 on Division Street was equipped as an annex. The school continued to grow and in successive steps taken in December, IQIO, and March, 1911, the whole school was transferred to the remodeled School for the Blind on North Avenue. Later on, in 1920, part of the school was housed in School No. 74 on Homewood Avenue. At the end of each school year, a case of drawing instruments was given to the student in each class who showed the greatest proficiency in drawing, and prizes were also given to students who produced the best drawings in their classes. The outstanding work done by the pupils was shown to the public on special exhibit days. Lieutenant King retired in 1921, and a year later he died. How- ever, Lt. William R. King will always be an inspiration to both the faculty and the students of POLYTECHNIC, and his name will be revered in the school's shrine of achievement. penn 1, YY..

Ninety-seven POLY PRESS WORKING hard to produce a paper that would be a worthy representative of Poly, the staff of the P001 Preis effected one noticeable change in the school organ. The change that was so obvious was the streamlining of the paper. In streamlining, the use of the rules between the columns was discontinued and a modern type of print was employed in the paper heading and in the story headings. During the year, the advisership of the business department changed hands. Mr. Clarence P. Bolgiano, the former proctor, was recalled to Naval duty, and his place was ably filled by Mr. W. A. Maccubbin. The foremost aim of the staff was to make the paper generally more interesting to the students, the faculty members, and outsiders. This was done by using a new system of news coverage. Because of this new procedure, the positions of Activities Editor and Copy Editor were instituted. Another item that added reader-interest was the extensive use of pictures. To accom- .nodate this, the office of Photography Editor was created. The issue for the Poly-City football game did not follow the procedure of past years. Instead of decreasing in size and increasing the number of pages to eight, the paper remained the uniform size and employed six pages. l.ast year a policy was inaugurated to sell the Prefs for three cents a copy. This year, the same plan was adopted and was found to be highly successful. For the Hrst time in its existence, the Pofy Prefs was financially independent. The accomplishments for the year may be summed up thusly: the paper was stream- lined and given a better appearance, reader-interest was increasedg three new editorships were establishedg and the school journal was put on a firm financial basis. Ninety-eight ZINK, YVAGNER, GRAIN, S'rR1BL1No, HUMPHREYS, Bkooua, STECHER SVEC, LUMSDEN, DA1sLEY STUDENT ADVISORY BOARD VICRY fall the newly elected members ofthe Student Council assemble in the audi- torium for the purpose of electing members of their own organization to the Student Advisory Board. The Student Advisory Board, in so far as student government is con- cerned, is the most powerful branch of the scl1ool's administrative staff. There is a limited number often members on the Board. Six of these are elected from thc senior year Student Councilmen. Of the remaining four, three are juniors, and one is a sophomore. It has been the custom, during the past few years, for the presidents of both the Feb- ruary and the june senior classes automatically to become members of the Board. Meetings, which are held weekly, are usually confined to the discussion of problems of discipline within the school. At these meetings, each member has the power to propose such laws as he thinks will be beneficial to the carrying out of the school discipline. Follow- ing a full discussion of each proposal, it is either passed or rejected. During the past academic year, the officers of the Student Advisory Board were: john W. Stribling, president, Francis Broglie, vice-presidentg and james Svec, secretary- treasurer. Ninety-nine STUDENT COUNCIL S a school activity, the Student Council is by far the largest and most important of any organization. It is this branch ofthe student government that has chief disciplinary powers, overruled only by the Student Advisory Board whose members are elected from the Student Council. Organized on a democratic basis, two representatives are elected to the Student Council from each section at the beginning of every semester. The number of students composing this body generally amounts to one hundred. Meetings ofthe Student Council are con- ducted by the president ofthe Student Advisory Board in the same manner as the meetings of the Board. As quoted from the constitution ofthe Student Advisory Board, lt shall be the duty of each Student Councilman to convey to his section any announcement or other informa- tion intended to reach it from the Student Council meetings. The Student Councilman is expected to be a promoter and exponent of school spirit and school citizenship. It is like- wise his duty to suppress any disorder or violation of school rules. The Student Council was instituted in 1921, and, since that time, has proved itself to be highly successful in the most important of Poly's democratic principles-student gov- ernment. One hundred NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB lllS year, the Natural Science Club enjoyed one of its most successful seasons. llndcr the able leader- ship of Mr. M. j. l.evin, adviser, Charles Whitmore, president, and joseph Krawczyk, secretary, many very interesting experiments were performed. As in previous years, the aim of the Science Club has been directed toward including all of the important sciences, namely, mineralogy, chemistry, physics, and biology, in the club program. The work, consisting of the theorv and mainly the ex ierimental iractice is done 1 . . 7. by the members, with the assistance of hlr. l.evin. The Science Club's part in the P. T. .-X. Show won particular acclaim. .-X spectacular show of cold light flight without heatl was demonstrated. This was done with a newly prepared chemical called luminol. AOUARIA CLUB N the last tive years, the Polytechnic .-Xquaria Club has grown from a group ofsix boys with three aquariums to an organization of twenty-two boys with fourteen aquariums, The aggregate capacity of these fourteen tanks is slightly over one hundred and seventy-five gal- lons. The present collection contains a fifty-five gallon tank built by several members of the club under the direction of john R. Myers and Herbert Moseley. The presiding otlicers for the season of Ill-Qt,-40 were as follows: llerbert Moseley, president, llerbert Ash- man, vice-president, and lYilmer Davidson, secretary- treasurer. The :Xquaria Club is sincerely grateful to Nlr. Nathan N. lfreedman, the faculty adviser, who has given his full support to every undertaking of the club. They are also deeply indebted to Mr. john j. Horn, who has volunteered his homeroom as well as his servs ices to the benetit of the club. RADIO CLUB OUKING back over its achievements, the Radio Club can count this past season as a successful one. lts most important work this year was completing and put- ting on the air a transmitter, W-QCDI. The Code and Theory Class which the club sponsors took on a new interest and was well attended. It was held expressly for novices in order to teach them the fundamentals of radio, sending and receiving. The organization took several trips to places of in- terest, the foremost of which was radio station WIVBR. There the members witnessed the most modern of radio equipment in operation. Several members of the club, which is advised by M r. lfugene li. l.ink, have their own licenses to operate short-wave sets. The officers are: Manly St. jean, presidentg lfdward hlueller, vice-president, and john Cooper, secretary-treasurer. METALLURGY CLUB UR the past several years, the Polytechnic Metal- lurgy Club, with hlr. George I.. Webster as its adviser, has proved itself invaluable to the school. The club has made numerous decorations which are to be found throughout the school. Some of the more prominent of these are the bronze hall markers and the huge plaques which are sunk in the floors of the corridors. During the past year, the members ventured into the local countryside for the purpose of smelting iron by a process which involved methods that were entirely primitive. These methods consisted ofthe construction of a blast furnace and bellows, the manufacture ofchar- coal, and even the mining of the ore itself. The otlicers of the club for this past year were: james Nolan, president, XVilliam liiitnsimmons, treas- urer, and XVilliam Karn, purchasing agent. LITERARY SOCIETY T the beginning of the lljqtl-40 school year, the Polytechnic l.iterary Society was known as the Book- worm's Club.', The latter name was changed to the former at the first meeting of the club. The members elected NVilliam Nitka, a charter mem- ber, as president. The vice-presidency went to Nicholas lfetch, while lilmer Coulson was elected secretary. laid- ward l.ewis was given the post of chief assistant libra- rian. Mrs. Margaret M. Atwood, the school librarian, is the club's faculty adviser. The most outstanding undertaking of the club dur- ing the past year was the presentation of a quiz program in the auditorium on November Nth. This was the first time any such assembly had occurred at Poly. The winner of the contest was -lere Hamill, Pub' Prem editor, with liarl Hendrickson second William Nitka, the Society's president, acted as master ofceremonies. CHESS AND CHECKERS CLUB UNTQUF, system of management was adopted this year by the Chess and Checkers Club. No formal elections were held until February. This method was chosen so that those members who had shown most in- terest in the clubis activities might be rewarded by being elected officers. A series of tournaments among the members was played during the year, the results of which were the main factor in the selection of the club's chess team. Teams produced by the club have never lost the championship in recent years, and last year's team was undefeated. Matches with City College and lforest Park High were planned this year. AERO CLUB IIVHUUGH the Aero Club meets only once every two weeks, it has done much to further the interests of its members and, in fact, those of the student body who were interested enough to view the spectacular flying- model contest held in lfebruary. Mr. lfred Spinning, adviser of the group, has done much toward the instruction of the members by his talks on different phases of aeronautics, as well as model building. Of course, the members of the club have their share ofdiscussions, and with Morris lf. Kanow as presi- dent, Kenneth C. Martin as vice-president, and Igor Karpenko as secretary-treasurer, the club held many enjoyable meetings. CAMERA CLUB Nl . of the few channels to creative art for the boys at Poly is the Camera Club. For the past several years, the club has sponsored numerous photographic contests. These contests are open to any student inter- ested in photography, and valuable prizes are awarded to the winners. Many ofthe action photographs in the Cimciu-ia and in the P00 Prv.f.v have been taken by members of the club. Members of the club have the use of all available equipment, including a fully equipped dark-room, at any of the weekly meetings. Ufgticers ofthe Camera Club for the past year were: john Hildebrandt, president, Homer lilliott, vice- presidentg Paul Stuckert, secretary, and Albert Thomas, honor photographer. The club has had much assistance from Mr. -lohn A. Sauer, its faculty adviser. One hundred two GLEE CLUB N DICR the ahle direction of Mr. .lohn Uenues and the supervision of Dr. Philip lf. Gottling, the Poly- technic filee Cluh made great strides this past year. The revival of musical interest here at Poly during the past seven or eight months undouhtedly helped to make the past year a success. The Cilee Cluh is the only organization at Poly which will take hoys who are not familiar with music and endeavor to give them some training along that line. The Kilee Cluh has given several highly successful concerts at different places throughout the city. .id- though the cluh was not large at first, it finally got a good start, and now it is almost certain to increase the heauty of its musical delivery, its repertoire, and the actual numher of its niemhers. Richard Phillips was elected president, with liugene Servary, l,ouis ll. Schleupner, and l.ouis ll. Starr ade- quately filling the positions of secretary, treasurer, and lihrarian, respectively. ORCHESTRA N spite of the fact that Polytechnic does not have any music in its curricula, the various musical organiza- tions here comparc quite favorahly with other similar groups in the city. lfor four years now, the orchestra has heen directed hy Mr. Vernon B. XVinchester, and during that time, the group has grown steadily in size and capahility. The spirit of this organization has heen commented upon as heing the finest in Baltimore, The orchestra performs regularly at the more seri- ous types of assemhly, such as the Parent-Teacher :Xssociation l .xhihition, the Christmas .-Xssemhly, the Spring Concert, the Poly lfollies, and the Commence- ment lfxercises. HI-Y CLUB HIS year, Poly's Hi-Y Cluh experienced one of its most successful seasons. Meetings were held every lvednesday, and, whenever possihle, speakers were pro- cured to aid the program. The memhers of the cluh had use ofthe school gym, the track, and the swimming pool at the Central Y. hl. C. .-X. ln the way of carrying out the cluh's purposes, an Old Clothes Campaign was again sponsored, and a hasket was donated to the Christmas collection. The Hi-Y was organixed five years ago hy Hr. ,lohn P. lilliott, hut during the past few years the Poly chap- ter has heen directed hy Mr. XVilliam Bader. The elected officers for this past year were: -Ioseph Kauff- man, president, Herman Tillman, treasurer' and Glad- den Brilhart, secretary. v STAGECRAFT CLUB N l'i ofthe most active cluhs at Poly is undouhtedly the Stageeraft Cluh. This cluh constructs all of the scenery used in Poly's numerous theatrical productions and also operates the various hack-stage mechanisms during these productions. There are three major pro- ductions at Tech each year which require a great ex- penditure of after-school time on the part of the Stage- craft Cluhls memhers. These three are: the P. T. .-X. Show in Novemher, the Christmas Play in Deceniher, and the Poly lfollies in April. During the past year, the officers of the cluh were as follows: William Ritterhoff, Stage hlanagerg YYilliam Clarkson, Chief lflectriciang Linwood Shipley, Grid hlanagerg and llonald Shipley, Assistant Stage Nan- ager. Mr. john DI. Horn is faculty adviser for the cluh. vx,iMr.:v-ycfemwef. ewnnEiwfwf,s1wsff4wm':.4s' ww at ima. HONOR SOCIETY HAT the William R. King Chapter of the Na- tional Honor Society is the most useful and beneficial organization at Polytechnic has been proved year after year by its generous ofler of assistance to those boys preparing for re-examinations and by the distribution of baskets of food for needy families after the annual Christmas assembly. Until February, Mitchell Gerber was president of the society, but upon his graduation, lidward Shaw was elected to the ofhce. Other othcers for the past term were: James Carroll, vice-president, Charles Bitterli, secretary, and William Praeger, treasurer. Most important of Honor Society committees are the Lost and Found Committee, headed by Francis Broglie, with Homer lilliott and Frank Whitmore as assistants, and the Showcase Committee, with Frank W'hitmore, chairman, and Robert Gelinas and Donald Nelson. BAND UR the past ten years, Mr. Nathan Freedman has lead the Poly band at all the athletic assemblies, foot- ball games, and at the Poly-City hockey and baseball contests. The organization consisted of og students at the beginning of the logo-.to season, but with the approach of the Poly-City football game, the membership swelled to 85. lt can be said that Poly's band looks as well as any other high school band in the city if not better. VVith capes of orange and blue, and strutting drum-majors twirling their batons in the air, the band presents quite a spectacle to the crowds at the games. DRAMATIC CLUB S in previous years, the Sir Henry Irving Dra- matic Society presented three shows during the year, namely, the Parent-Teachers Association Show, the Christmas Play, and the Poly Follies. For the past ten years, the organization has had an excellent coach and instructor in Mr. Charles H. Miegel. It has also had a fine governing staff which included this past year William LeFevre, president, Frank Oden- heimer, vice-president, and Henry Minch, secretary. In the P. T. A. Show, the club, with the assistance of many students not in the club but in various other non-athletic activities, presented a short play in the You Can't Take It With You category. The Christmas play, entitled The Spirit of Christ- mas, was the same one presented at the annual Christ- mas Assembly eight years ago. DRUM, BUGLE, AND FIFE CORPS NH of the main reasons for that Old Poly Spirit is the Drum, Bugle, and Fife Corps which is under the able management of Mr. B. K. Brendle. The Corps, composed of about I48 members, did its part at every football game and at the Poly-City baseball games. Due to its ability to maneuver well as a large unit and to make a splendid showing, the organization was once again appointed to lead the parade for the Girls Winter Carnival. The Corps also took part in non- scholastic activities. This year, the organization was made up of many new members, and a considerable amount of work was done in training them properly in a short time. The practice sessions were generally held in the mornings between 8 and 8:45 a. m. One hundred four STAMP AND HOBBY CLUB lil! by Albert lfselhorst and under the guidance of Doctor lirnest Spedden, the Stamp and Hobby Club has made remarkable progress during the past year. The club aims to promote interest in all kinds of hob- bies. During the past season, the most popular hobby was philately. ' In the fall, the club sponsored a contest which was open to the entire school for the purpose of interesting boys in the activities of the club. Cash prizes were awarded to the boys who submitted the best slogan for the club, the best composition on hobbies in general, and the best composition on a particular hobby. President lfselhorst was ably assisted by james lforsyth, vice-president: Herman Samuel, secretary: and l,ouis Kraus, treasurer. SENATE CLUB Hli ob-iect of the Polytechnic Senate is to have a body similar to the United States Senate: that is, consisting of ninety-six members, employing the sys- tem of parliamentary procedure, and having two rival factions, the liberals and the conservatives. liach year, the Senate presents two debates before the entire student body. This year, the tirst topic of debate was: Resolved, That the C. C. C. be modified and expanded to provide an educational program for any American boy of senior high school age who is not preparing for college. The question for the second de- bate was: Resolved, That Baltimore should adopt the City Manager Plan of Municipal Government. lfor the tirst term, club otiicers were: Ralph Miller, president, and VYarren Hodges, secretary. MODEL RAILROAD CLUB INCH the organization of the Poly Model Railroad Club in 1936, its chief aim has been to own and operate a scale-model railroad of its own. Construction of this railroad was begun about last October lst by the tifteen members of the club in a room secured for the club by the Board of Student Activities. The completed model will be a reproduction ofthe town of Yorktown Heights, New York. The New York Central Railroad passes through this town and will be reproduced in miniature by an oo gauge CM inchl railroad. The othcers for this year were: Paul Ritterhotf, president: George XYiedersum, vice-president: and XYil- liam Franz, secretary-treasurer. The faculty adviser is Mr. Luther B. Miller. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS OR its fourth year as one of the most popular clubs in the school, If Cerefc f l7Yllll'Ilf.Y has had nothing but credit added to its already successful record. This year's president, Jere Russell, had worked hard, with the kind co-operation ofthe French Department and ofthe mem- bers themselves, to keep the meetings running smoothly. The invitations which came from other high school French clubs to Poly's club were accepted and recipro- cated. As established by the constitution of the club, a prospective member must have the recommendation of his Ifrench teacher before he can become a member of good standing. The ofiicers for the past year were: .lere Russell, president, Mitchell Gerber, vice-president: .lulius Ag- noli, secretary, and Robert Fowler, treasurer. POLY FOLLIES VVHNTY years ago, the first Poly Follies was presented as an annual affair for the purpose of raising funds for the support of athletics, but it was soon taken over by the Board of Student Activities which has supported all of the non-athletic activities ever since. This year, the show took on a new importance in the eyes of all involved, directly or indirectly. With Mr. VV. Aubrey Maccubbin as new director, the cast included over one hundred stu- dents and an additional two hundred students comprised the orchestra, stage and property men, and ushers. A new system was adopted by the Business Staff, headed by Mr. A. Himmelfarb, which was one of the contributing factors to the success of the '40 Follies. Paralleling the best of any past performances, the '40 Follies proved to be not only a huge financial success but a dramatic success as well. Playing to a full house on both nights, Friday and Saturday the 26th and 27th of April, the large cast, including Frank Oden- heimer, Donald Hood, Robert VVoodside, james Spamer, Francis Delgavio, VVilliam Brook- hart, Jerome Krebs, and Alan Schwartzman, presented a play entitled Double Trouble. The scene was laid at an inn on the outskirts of a village in the deep South. The owner of the inn had died, leaving a large sum of money to a faithful negro servant who was to give it to the owner's son on his arrival at the inn. A certain gold-diggern who was pur- suing the son found out about the money and attempted by foul means to obtain it. Her plans were discovered in time, and the hero married a beautiful guest who had come to the inn.

DEHUFF was appointed principal in tj ,kv lf ,L 1921, and the modern chapter in the history of the Insti- 9' 'Q tute began. P Tuff-U A complete revision of the Advanced College Prepara- tory Course and the institution of the College Preparatory Course and a C Course were among the first tasks undertaken by Mr. Dehuff. The C Course was soon dropped from the curricula, but in 1937 a similar course known as the G Course was established. This course in no way prepares the student for college but is purely a general technical course. Since its institution, the G Course has grown tremendously in popularity. Under Mr. Dehulf, a host of new sports was included in the scope of athletic activities, and the non-athletic group was increased to in- clude the Poly Follies and the Poly Press. Furthermore, under Mr. Dehuff, POLYTECHNIC secured the new Central Wing and the large Auditorium. From the time of the construction of the Central Wing and onward, the BALTIMORE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE has stood, as it stands today, a monument to modern education. This is the history of our school. However, a more important history is yet to be written. It is the history of the men of the Class of 1940 who now leave POLYTECHNIC with the inspirations and the education the school has given to them. Their achievements-the achievements of these men of the Class of '40-may make world history. l v ' Wilmer A.
