W U16 1943 Prfly Kracker PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE BALTIMORE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE BALTIMORE 0 MARYLAND .I DAVID HOPKINS .IR Ediior-in-Ch f ELLWARD LASKIN Business Ma ge J N Z MR. CLARENCE A. MCBRIDE Co Mr. Hlarencc ,4. McBride . . . who has given the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute twenty- two years of loyal and meritorious service, the Senior Class of 1943 dedicates this yearbook. During his many years at Poly, Mr. McBride has taken an active interest in every boy that he has taught, in addi- tion to being very tolerant and understanding. The high standards he exemplifies have set an example for every Poly student who wishes to become a success in life. We feel certain that, as this book is leafed through in future years, every ex-Senior's appreciation of Mr. McBride's sterling qualities will become increasingly self-evident. Sforeufard We graduate into a world filled with tension and excitement. How to best serve our country in the successful prosecution of the war has been a matter of grave concern to all of us. After careful consideration our choices are made. Most of us will enter the military service, some in the combat forces and others for training in specialized duties. Others, with motives just as lofty, will go into the war industries. Polytechnic has given us a thorough training in the fundamental principles of applied science, in good character, in good health habits, and in good citizenship as well as an appreciation of the cultural aspects of life. We have been taught to study hard, to organize ideas, to think through facts, and by persistent and purposeful effort arrive at proper conclusions. Our unique training has prepared us well to further pursue our studies in engineering colleges or to take our places in any of numerous industries where our general adaptability may be trained to a specialty. Our education is geared to the needs of the time and should make us an effective force now as well as in peace-time industry. A highlight of our years at Poly has been participation in a well-rounded program of extra-curricular activities embracing cultural and scientific subjects as well as purely recreational interests and hobbies. These activities, ably conducted by the competent advisers, held a high place in student interest and brought forth latent talents in some of us which otherwise might have remained dormant. Unquestionably, from participation in these activities, we have obtained interests and hobbies which we will enjoy for the rest of our lives. The athletic program at Poly covers a wide range of activities designed to attract and satisfy the desire for team play and the spirit of competition inherent in the American youth. The code of sportsmanship has been instilled in us by our Athletic Director and our various coaches. Much emphasis is placed upon the educational values of athletics, and rightly so when viewed in the light of the qualities derived therefrom. Among these are: leadership, fair play, courage, never-say-die spirit, cooperation, obedience to law and rule. However, the greatest single quality is the development of fine character, and this, in turn, is an important part of citizenship. j Our development and training of mind and character has been conducted in an atmosphere of high standards scrupulously maintained. This is traditional of Polytechnic. The Faculty knows its subject matter and knows how to impart it. lt has not only guided us in the mastery of our subject matter butalso has inculcated in us the importance of right thinking. We graduates of the Class of T943 hereby acknowledge our debt to Poly. fx .

May it also remind you of the critical days in our history when we were compelled to fight for all those things which Poly stands for. Sincerely yours, Wilmer A. Dehuff. TO THE CLASS OF 1943: As you toke your places in the for flung bottle lines of the war, you will meet Poly graduates everywhere. Remind them thot we wish them good luck and success iust os we are now wishing you good luck and success. Moy you all work mightily for the Victory. Harry F. Frank.

They are engaged in a multiplicity of capacities in all branches of our armed forces. We are more than proud of their accomplishments and we shall earnestly strive to emulate them when we too have the honor of serving our country. Some already have made the supreme sacrifice and to these honored dead we pledge that they shall not have died in vain. I N W ,, fax 1 1 Athletics POLY VARSITY SPORTS New Sra in Sports at Paly BILL LILLY The present graduating class has seen the dawn of a new era of sports for Poly. Every team has shown an improvement in its play with some of them making outstanding rec- ords. Starting with football we can point with pride to our team's record of 14 vic- tories in 18 games during the past two years. The Wrestling Team, with two Mary- land Scholastic Championships, has won the interest of the entire student body. The Archery Team has won the Maryland Scholastic Championship eight out of the last nine years. The Bowling Team cap- tured the National High School Champion- ship in 1942 and again won the Maryland Scholastic Championship in 1943. The Track Team re-captured the Maryland Scholastic Championship in 1941 and have had the honor of breaking records that had stood for 14 years. The mile relay team consisting of Marshall, Broglie, Tillman, and Reese established a record of 3 minutes and 32 seconds in 1940, breaking a record standing since 1923. The time was lowered again in 1942, this time by Cox, DeButts, Rose, and Crook. The new time was 3 minutes and 31 and 4f10 seconds. Gross equalled and broke the 100- and 220-yard records. The Swimming Team, Cross Country Team, and Ice Hockey Team have all figured in Maryland Scholastic Championships and this year iup to May lj we came through with four Maryland Scholastic Champion- ships namely: Cross Country, Wrestling, Swimming, and Bowling. This new era has been largely due to the development of Junior Varsity teams, the new field at Clifton Park, and the realiza- tion that every high school student should be physically fit and that competitive sports are the best means of reaching this condi- tion. With the present war we will have to look to our 17-year-old boys to carry on the fine records our teams have made in the past four years. It is more important than ever that every student becomes en- gaged in some competitive sport in his first and second year of high school so he can be ready for varsity competition in his iunior year. Good luck seniors, you have played Cl tremendous part in our successes, and I know your experience will be of great value to you in the greater game which you all are about to ploy. w. s. uny. STUDENT ATHLETIC ASSISTANTS Zzafball The past football campaign was one of Polytechnic's most successful ones from a percentage standpoint. The Techmen emerged victorious six times, lost once, and were tied once. Two games were cancelled, one because of transportation difficulty and the other because of manpower shortage. The season started against Southern in a rainstorm. A strong wind lashed the rain about so that it became difficult to even see the ball, much less throw it or kick it. Although the elements were against them, the team came through with a handy 12-0 win. The second game of the season was played at McDonagh. Here the team suffered a blow when Jimmy Formwalt, regular halfback, broke his ankle on the first play of the game. McDonagh fought hard for a half, but pressure borne on them by Tech soon paid off to the extent of two touchdowns in the second half. The final score 13-0. Patterson was our next opponent, and the Pats became the first team to score on the Tech gridders when a long pass in the first minute of play put them ahead 6-0. In three more minutes a pass from Scarborough to Adams tied the score at 6-6. The Patter- son passing attack began to function more WILLIAM O'KEEFE frequently towards the end of the second quarter. The air attack backfired, however, when Sammy Adams intercepted a pass to scamper 50 yards for a score. Scarborough booted the extra point and we lead at the half, T3-6. The Pats came back strong and com- pletely dominated play in the second half. Although the Blue and White threatened frequently, twice getting within our ten-yard stripe, the Tech line hurled them back. Patterson, with but two minutes of play re- maining, capitalized on a fumbled punt to recover the ball on our ten to score from there. Scarborough streaked through the Pat's line to block the try for the extra point. Score: 13-12. Tech faced another muddy field against Gilman in their next contest. Once again trickery was out of the question and power football was the only resort. As in the Southern game, the line told the difference and we triumphed 12-0. Severn stalled the Tech Machine for the first time when they held on to tie us 7-7. A bad pass by Pettit was intercepted and they would have scored had not Bill Scarborough come from nowhere to tackle the ball carrier on the ten-yard line. Scarborough's gallant effort went for naught ,wt ., ,,,,,.,.,,, , LEFT: Sam Adams holding for Bill Scarborough. RIGHT: .lim Formwalt. as Severn, aided by a penalty, went ahead 7-0. Tech started rolling in the second half. Starting from their own eleven, they marched 88 yards only to lose the ball, as a result of a misplay in the backfield, on Severn's one-yard line. Tech was not to be denied, however, and repeated goal-line thrusts netted us a tally with the extra point r . QS il ' .s . ...An TOP: Referee plays leapfrog-City-Poly game. BOTTOM: Worry, worry-Where to go now? being added by Bill Scarborough. The score was now tied at 7-7. Despite the fact that we completely dominated the play in the last two quarters we scored but once, and the tie was the first blemish on our record. A Forest Park team that was full of fight held us to one touchdown for two quarters in the next game. The team found them- selves in the second half and rolled up fifteen points to win 22-O. The next team to fall was St. Paul. Here Tech met an entirely different type of attack. St. Paul used end runs almost exclusively, gaining at will in midfield. They lacked sufficient punch to score once they got the ball in scoring territory. Twice they had the ball inside the ten-yard stripe and were hurled back. Meanwhile our own attack was functioning well and we scored three times to triumph 20-0. Mel Duklewski sup- plied the feature play of the game when he blocked a punt and recovered the ball for a touchdown. The final contest with City College was rated as an even contest. Our strong running attack was figured to offset the Collegian's equally strong passing attack. On the second scrimmage play of -the game, Sammy Adams, who had played brilliantly all season, scampered 92 yards down the sidelines to score the first touchdown made by us against City College in the last five years of competition. Our lead was short- lived, since, two minutes later, City's famed passing combination of Pokorny to Anders clicked to tie the score at 7-7. City again scored in the second quarter to go ahead 13-7. In the third quarter, City scored for the final time, and it was then that Tech started rolling. They piled up yard after yard and first down after first down, only to lose the ball near paydirt. Thus the game ended, City 19, Poly 7. The statistics told the story very effectively. We piled up well over two hundred yards by rushing, a large advantage over City, but we were no match for their passes. Outstanding players were Bill Scar- borough and Sammy Adams in the back- field, and Duklewski, Karson, Dressel, and Martin in the line. Sammy Adams, by virtue of his excellent defensive play and magnificent ball-carry- ing, was selected for All-Maryland honors this season. Everyone felt that Sammy de- served the honor for he scored most of Tech's touchdowns, caught quite a few passes, and gained more yards from scrim- mage than any other Poly back. The squad gave a fine exhibition of sportsmanship when they presented Jimmy Formwalt was a plaque as a token of their esteem for his faithfulness to the team. Jimmy had come out for the team all of his four years at Poly and when he had finally made the first string he had the misfortune to break his leg in the second game of the season. I-----...Q i Sewer The booters started their season in proper style when they defeated the Park School team 4-0 in the opening game of the season. Vocational fell victim next by the over- whelming score of 4-0 when George Peacher, crack center forward, scored three goals. Adam Sibelski's only goal of the season thus far earned for him the plaudits of his teammates as that goal proved to be the winning margin in the Engineers' victory over Forest Park, 1-0. This victory enabled Tech to go into a tie for the league lead with Patterson. Appropriately enough, Poly's next game found them facing Patter- son. Unfortunately, the soccerites didn't have their scoring shoes on, and they bowed in a very hardfought game, 2-0. The traditional game with City followed, and the team was evidently downhearted Pat dribbles through Poly's defense. over their defeat by Patterson. City tri- umphed l-0. The Gaels from Mt. St. Joseph's carted home a further blotch on their record as .lack Kinling booted home the winning goal, making the score stand at the finish, l-0. The Techmen went into their final game of the season determined to salvage some of the glory lost in the Patterson and City defeats. They succeeded, and Calvert Hall was beaten by the largest score of the season, 5-0. The season summary disclosed that Poly had played seven games, won five, scored fifteen goals to opponents' three, and scored five shutouts. George Peacher led the scorers with seven goals, followed by Adam Sibelski and Alfred Guerieri with two each. Stamaticos, Binko, Klein and Kinling each tallied once. Since most of the players return next year, Coach Bosley has expressed hopes for a championship season. Ray Lombard boots one. .um 1 ., ... ., L . liiY1i24:fJP!,Q.i - ' ' 11 ' f f 6wss Kzfunfry Polytechnic's harriers went undefeated this year in scholastic dual meets, and were also undefeated in the Maryland Scholastic Championships held at Clifton Park. ln their first meet against Mt. St. Joseph's, Polytechnic, led by Captain Pete Hambleton, bowled the Mounts over to a tune of TO to 49. The first ten finishers were all Techmen. The Mounts again faced us at Clifton, our home grounds, and were once more de- feated, this time 'l5 to 65. The first man to cross the line was, as usual, Captain Hambleton. City College was our next opponent in a Varsity-Junior Varsity doubleheader, Poly being victorious in both matches. The varsity triumphed 22 to 36, with the iay vee rolling up an even larger score of 'I9 to 44. Hambleton led the way in the Varsity race, and a promising youngster named Geyer won the J. V. contest. Our only defeat was in an outside meet with the Plebes of the U. S. Naval Academy. We lost by the margin of 23 to 37. Pete Hambleton placed second, but the winner had to set a new record for the course in order to triumph. The Championship Meet was our greatest success. Here it was strictly a two team race since only Polytechnic and City College scored points. Although City had improved a great deal since their last encounter with us, they again were defeated, this time by a score of 26 to 29. The winner of the race was Pete Hambleton and he set a new course record of ll minutes, 5.5 seconds. Cross Country's Big Four. Outstanding harriers of the season were Pete Hambleton iwho won every scholastic race he ranjg Bob Henning Cnext year's captain-electi, Don Campbell, Henry Rohn- acher, Charlie Ports, and Tony Pappas. The squad had a number of experienced men. Hambleton, Ports and Pappas were all veterans of three years, with Henning and Campbell having two years to their credit. Of the above mentioned men only Hen- ning is returning next season. Graduation is thinning the ranks, but Henning and several promising J. V. runners, among them Howie Tayor fwho improved enough to make Varsity in the latter part of the seasoni, and Geyer should step into the vacant gaps satisfactorily. l l Basketball Although the '43 basketball campaign was not as successful as those of the past, the spirit and fight of the team seemed to be greater this season. The cagers chalked up only three wins in ten starts in league competition, but one six-footer would have made a tremendous difference in most of the games. Tech dropped two games to City and Patterson by a score of 23-22. In each of these games Tech failed to recover most of their rebounds, which emphasized the lack of height on the squad. In the City encounter the fans enioyed one of the hard- est fought contests seen in many a season, scholastic or otherwise. City, running true to form, ran up a lead of T5-6 at the half, and seemed certain winners by a large score. But Tech fought hard to hold City scoreless in the final period while running up ten points to force the contest into over- time. City scored a foul shot and succeeded in freezing the ball to win. Tech twice defeated Vocational, once by a top-heavy 44-7 score, and upset Forest Park 35-26. Patterson, City, and Southern defeated the team twice, with Forest Park winning once for our seven losses. Captain Klein and Kostkowski shared high-scoring honors, with Franke, Gorsuch, Trout, Barrett, Schneider, Johnson, Almes, and Stockhausen all getting into the scoring column. CAPTAIN KLEIN PC3LY'S MATMEN TRIUMPH T0 TAKE Wrestling Mr. Frank Hansen, who has been turning out champion wrestling teams with regu- larity during the past years, this season produced his best. The team swept through interscholastic competition undefeated and scored the top team total in the Maryland .l Coach Hanson Scholastic Championships. The wrestlers were defeated but once in three college meets, bowing to a powerful Navy Plebe team, and defeating Gallaudet and Penn- sylvania Freshman teams. The Grapplers iourneyed to Washington, D. C., to match grips with Gallaudet College in their first meet of the season. The final score was 26-'IO in Tech's favor. Gallaudet won but two bouts, both by falls, Tech taking the remaining six. Hladik, Riggio and Karson won by falls, Keagle and Schwemmer by decisions, and Brodsky and Arczynski were defeated. Vocational played host to Tech a week later but they did not provide much com- petition. Ten bouts were scheduled but only half that many came off. Mulligan, Hladik, Riggio and Brodsky pinned their opponents, with Clifton out-maneuvering his man to gain the decision. The other five bouts were taken by Poly through forfeit, making the final score 48-0. The Maryland School for the Blind arrived at Poly the afternoon of January 15th primed for the encounter. The first four bouts were divided, each team netting a fall and decision, but Captain Mulligan, Riggio, and Zappardino pinned their men while Hladik and Dreyer won decisions. AD SCHCDLALTIC WRE TLI G CRCW Clifton also put his opponent's shoulders to the mat to give Poly the nod 21-8. McDonogh was the first of Poly's maior foes. Six straight wins were recorded by Tech before McDonogh won. Pummery, Arczynski, Clifton, Mulligan and Hladik won by falls and Keagle by decision. Riggio and Brodsky lost by decision, but Schwem- mer and Karson rounded out a successful afternoon by touching their opponents' shoulders to the mat. Final score was 38-6. Poly went to Southern for the next match and won 26-10. Despite the large margin, only three falls were registered in the ten bouts, Southern getting two and Poly one. Klein was pinned to give the Maroon an early 5-0 margin, but Arczynski, Clifton, Keagle, Mulligan, Hladik, Marbury and Brodsky won decisions. Karson made short work of his man, winning in 1:26. Patterson visited the Matmen next. The Pats forfeited the first bout, giving Poly a 5-0 lead. The match was a long drawn-out affair, as only Riggio and Brodsky registered falls. Arczynski, Cilfton, Billmire, Mulligan, Hladik and Dukelewski won decisions to run the point total to 33-0 in our favor. The final bout, the heavyweight clash between Karson and Patterson's Lindos, was a thriller from start to finish. Karson, apparently de- feating Lindos decisively, leaned too far over Lindos' shoulder in attempting a pin and he fell. Lindos, taking advantage of this mishap, promptly pinned Karson, giving Patterson their only points. W or Fsru N G- Qillttttt C s Q I Headline The SUN, Baltimore, Feb 28 43 ln their meet with Gilman at Gilman, defeat loomed up for the first time for the Techmen. Tech won four of the first nine bouts, but Gilman's extra win gave them a lead of 17-16 with but one bout to go. Here Gilman was unable to provide an opponent for Karson and they forfeited the bout, losing the meet 21-17. Pummery and Clifton won decisions to maintain their win- ning ways, but Mulligan and Hladik were defeated for the first time. Billmire and Riggio scored falls to add the all-important extra two points which are given for falls. City College came to Poly as Tech's scholastic schedule ended. The first four bouts were divided, the score being 8-8 at this stage, but Riggio scored a fall, and Mulligan, Hladik, and Karson scored de- cisions to give us the nod 22-11. Pummery also received credit for a fall, while Clifton won a decision. ln the Navy Plebe match held at the Academy, only Rudy Karson was successful. ln one of the roughtest bouts ever seen at the Academy, Karson won a decision in the final bout on the card as Tech succumbed 31-3. The final dual meet of the season was held at the University of Pennsylvania as Poly won 24-6. Mulligan, Dreyer and Karson won falls, and Hladik, Riggio and Dukelewski gained decisions. The Grapplers were ready for the Mary- land Scholastic meet held at Gilman. As expected, the chief opposition came from Gilman and McDonogh. Poly virtually clinched team honors by qualifying four men in the finals, they being Pummery, Clifton, Hladik and Karson. Clifton was beaten, but the others won individual crowns. The team totals were: Poly 32Vz, Gilman 27Vz, and McDonagh 21 V2. A resume of each wrestler's records dis- closed the following information: Pummery and Clifton were the only undefeated wrestlers, each winning seven matches. Mulligan, Hladik and Karson lost but one each out of seven, Billmire and Brodsky won three out of five, Riggio lost one out of six, Bukelewski and Marbury split even in two, and Arczynski won four of seven. -i . , Jvc Hockey The 'I942-43 Ice Hockey season could be classed as satisfactory for Polytechnic's squad inasmuch as they were crowned Public High School Champions, but mid-year ex- aminations served as a very effective board check to the star defense combination and the leading wingman. Bill Matthai was lost to the team through the graduation chan- nels. Dick Opfer, considered to be the leading exponent of poke checking and goal stopping in the league, and Jerry Laroque, who in one-half season of play scored more goals than any other player in the league, were ousted due to micl-year marks. The team started off fast by white-wash- ing Calvert Hall by a score of 3-0. The fancy stickwork and clock-like passing tabbed Tech as the team to beat. But Mount St. Joseph, the leading contender, tied the skaters in the second clash of the season, 4-4. Trailing by 2-'l with seconds to go in the final period, Tech tied the score at 2-2. They followed up with two more to St. Joe's one in the overtime period, and the fans began to file out since the game was evidently over. But the overtime period of six minutes had been divided into two three-minute periods, the Gaels tying it up for good with nine seconds remaining in the game. Forest Park was next defeated by 3-i. The Techmen were keyed for this game after the stunning tie with St. Joe, quickly tally- ing two goals, adding one later for good measure. The next opponent was Loyola. This was Laroque's final game of the season, he made it a memorable one. Tech dented the net twice in the first period and seemed to be easy winners. But the Loyola line was not to be out-done. In the second period they scored three goals on Goldsborough to lead 3-2. Laroque, who had scored one of the goals in the first session, countered twice on beautiful shots to almost single-handedly defeat Loyola 4-3. The second round saw Tech roll up the highest score of the season when they scored five goals to Calvert Hall's one. The team was still in the running for championship honors, leading St. Joe by one point. Appropriately enough, the leaders clashed in the following contest. Although leading the league, Tech was a slight underdog, since four of the six first string players were out of uniform. The defense was make- shift-a wing and a second string defense- man-and the forward line was shaken up. Cal Grochmal started his first varsity hockey game at goal, doing a magnificent iob though the team lost 3-2. The schedule was revised and Loyola re- placed Forest Park. The second Loyola game was as thrilling as the first, Tech triumphing 2-l. The season's finale paired Tech with Forest Park. To win this game meant a tie for championship honors for Tech. Lady Luck stayed at home as Roy Bennett, Forester Goalie, stopped shot after shot. The For- esters won the game on a goal late in the last period. The Techmen won five of the eight games, dropped two, and tied another. They wound up the season in a second place tie with Forest Park as the Harvard Cup Play- offs began. Forest Park again was our opponent but this time the shots clicked ancl only excellent goal-tending by Bennett kept the score down. Grochmal again did a good iob in the goal. Hockev Z., ,N ics . i fi 4l'. QQ ,4J' I L ?v 4 2 'W xx Q t- V g Ns 4 ,,, Mount St. Joseph's was met in the finals and this game was by far the most thrilling game of the season. The Gaels snatched an early lead of 2-O, but Doug Cayce netted one to put us back in the game. The third period was marked by fast, hard playing, magnificent skating, and checking, and superb goal tending. The score at this junction was 2-l in St. Joe's favor, and it remained that way to the end. Jimmy Corrigan led the league in scoring with thirteen points on five goals and eight assists. Doug Cayce was tied with two others with ten points lthree goals, seven assistsl, and Bobby Rogers, playing only half the season, scored seven points tfive goals and two assistsl. If one were to include the playoff statistics, then Corrigan has sixteen points K5 goals, Tl assistsj, Cayce fourteen points K6 goals, 7 assistsl, and Rodgers eleven points C6 goals, 5 assistsl. Cal Grochmal set a season record of saves, stopping thirty-five shots. The hat trick fthree goals in one gamel was performed but twice and each time a Poly wingman got the honor. Laroque scored three times against Loyola with Doug Cayce netting three against Forest Park in the playoffs. In the exhibition game with a local all- star sextet, the Tech forward line of Cor- rigan, Cayce, and Rodgers was selected to start the game, with Bruce French, stellar player at all positions, starting at defense. Fred Spinning, coach, deserves a word of praise for the excellent way in which he handled the team and high hopes are ex- pressed for his tutelage next season also. The prospects are bright next season with French, Opfer, Cayce, Senft, and Golds- borough returning. l6'zfuf!i14g This year's bowling team added another championship to both Polytechnic's record and to that of the bowling team. The A team successfully defended their champion- ship won last season by running roughshod over all opposition. In twenty-seven games the team, composed cf nine bowlers, lost but four times, and these by close scores. ln second and third places in the league standings, the A teams cf St. Joseph and City College held forth. Close behind them was the Poly B team. The B team had a winning record of sixteen wins and eleven losses. They were tied for fourth place with the Mt. St. Joseph B team.

Only two teams comprised the interscholastic Con- ference, these being Poly and City. The others had dropped the sport because of the war restrictions with regard to athletic -U----A-'fs--fs equipment for the sport. City defeated the Fencers twice, each time by the close score of 5-4. Ellward Laskin, Captain, had the best season record on the team. Stadd split even in two matches, Berger won two and lost four, and Terry won one and lost three. Mr. Barron, of the Physical Education De- partment, coached the team. Wzmmmg Polytechnic's Swimming Team celebrated one of its most successful seasons in 1943. They had a clean conference record Cde- feating City twicei, broke even with William Penn of York, Pennsylvania, and lost to the Naval Academy by a close margin. The season started January 2'lst at City. Stringer, Sutton and Lambdin, the bulwarks of the team throughout the season, won the first three events. At this point the score was 'l7-'l0, Poly. City, however, won the next three events to go ahead, 28-26. The Medley Relay and Freestyle Relay followed, Tech winning both to triumph 38-28. Two days later, the squad iourneyecl to the Naval Academy to test the Plebe tank- men. Stringer and Sutton again won, and seven of the swimmers combined to win the relay events. Navy, however, captured the three intervening events, finishing on top by eight points, 37-29. On February 19th, the team again faced City, this time with the conference cham- pionship at stake. A new individual winner was added to the Stringer-Sutton-Lambdin triumvirate, the new one being Bill Sweeney. This quartet won the first four events to give us a comfortable lead of 29-7. City won the next two events to pull up to 2'l-33, but the Sweeney-Sutton-Stringer Medley com- bination triumphed to clinch the match. Ritterhoff, Carothers, Lambdin and Miller won the Freestyle Relay making the final score read 45-21. The Swimmers journeyed to York, Penn- sylvania, for their next match. Stringer and Sutton remained unbeaten as they won their events, but Lambdin was beaten for the second time in the 220-yard freestyle. The score at this point was ,T6-'li in our favor. York won the last three individual events to go ahead 30-24, leaving the two relays as the deciding issue. York won the Medley and Poly won the Freestyle, but the early lead was too much and Tech suc- cumbed 35-29. The Maryland Scholastics were next on tap. Bob Stringer won the 40-yard free- style event for the second year in succession. Trailing him was teammate Frank Smith. Harry Sutton also won his event, the 100- yard breaststroke, marking him and Stringer as Poly's only unbeaten swimmers to date. Captain Bill Lambdin won the 220-yard freestyle and Bill Sweeney won the 100-yard backstroke. Dick Carothers lost the 100- yard freestyle event by a head, to prevent Poly from making a clean sweep of all the swimming events. Bill Vogler finished sec- ond in the diving event. Witter, Sutton and Lambdin were entered in the Medley Relay and they triumphed handily. Tech completed a highly satisfac- tory day by also capturing the Freestyle Relay, Smith, Miller, Stringer and Carothers furnishing the victory. A recapitulation shows that Tech swim- mers won four of the six individual events, finished second in three of them, and third once. The two team events were also taken, as has been mentioned, by Poly. William Penn iourneyed to City to face Poly in a re-match, and this match proved to be the most thrilling of all, as the winner was not decided until the last race. Bob Stringer suffered his first defeat of the season in the 40-yard freestyle and York went ahead 6-3. Harry Sutton maintained his undefeated record, Tech pulling up to 8-10. Bill Lambdin also won his event, making the score 13-14. Bill Sweeney could only get a third and York pulled ahead 22-14. Potts, who had beaten Stringer in the Forty, also won the next event for York, but Dick Carothers and Don Miller came in second and third respectively to hold the score down to 27-18 in York's favor. Bill Vogler won the diving event, and we pulled up to 24-30. Sweeney, Sutton and Stringer, a near-unbeatable combination, won the 120-yard Medley Relay, and the score was York 30, Poly 29. The 160-yard Freestyle Relay was the last race on the program. Frank Smith procured an early lead with Don Miller, Dick Carothers and Bill Lambdin keeping it up to give Tech a richly deserved victory, 36-30. Coach Hambleton deserves a lot of credit for turning out this championship team, and hopes are entertained for another successful season next year as quite a few regulars are returning, chief among them being Harry Sutton and Frank Smith, who are co- captains for 1944. lfacrasse Starting off the season with an unex- pected bang, the Tech stickmen succeeded in nosing out a strong Boys' Latin outfit to the tune of 7-6. The lads then went right ahead and won every game they played, save one, the St. Paul's tussle, and by fairly Captain Wallace comfortable margins, too. Working with a squad of green newcomers and J. V. men from last year, Coach Bill McClean certainly deserves a great deal of credit for his ex- cellent job in rounding out a smooth work- ing combination to bring the boys through a highly successful season. ln the opening game against Boys' Latin, Coach McClean tried out practically every possible combination of players, until he hit upon the one most suited to the boys. From then on, the main job was practice, and practice the lads did. The starting line-up now read something like this: at close attack were Carmen, Rogers and Strott, at midfield were Corrigan, Fewster and Wallace, and at close defense were Sweeney, Billmire and Johnson. George Porter was in the cage. As the season progressed, this line-up changed very slightly, the only radical change being when Co-Captain George Wallace was injured in the St. Paul's game and it was necessary for him to withdraw from the lineup for a short period. Then Carmen was switched to midfield, which position he alternated with John Burch who alternated with Ken Martin at attack. Later, when Wallace was placed back in the line- up, Will Carmen alternated at attack and midfield, with Fewster or Wallace at mid- field and usually Martin on the attack. John Burch alternated with Bobby Rogers on the attack, while Bob Neuman, a converted mid- fielder, was guarding the net. A total of 85 points were piled up by the Techmen against 54 for their opponents in the following manner: Boys' Latin was beaten 7-6, Gilman 'I4-4, the St. Paul's fray, the lads' only loss, 3-'l7, Friends was de- feated 8-4, McDonagh 9-2, Severn 6-5, Forest Park 17-5, the Navy Plebes were beaten 'l3-4, and last but not least, the mighty City College was vanquished 8-7. The City game on Tuesday, May lith, at Clifton, was a nip and tuck affair all the way. City scored the first two goals of the game, and it wasn't until quite a few goals later that the big Blue Team caught up to the lads from the Alameda. But they did, and once City was tied and Poly pulled ahead, Tech never lost the lead. Interest- ing is the fact that both the first and last Poly goals were scored by Ken Martin, the last with only thirty seconds to go in the final period. Sparking the attack was Co-Captain Bill Strott, who while only ranking third in scor- ing honors, ranked first in assists. Bill was the mainstay of the attack and showed it by his large collection of assists. Co- Captain George Wallace was probably the best all-around player on the squad, being a demon on defense and the man to watch on the attack. More than likely, the most spectacular of the players though, was little Wils Fewster. Fewster was high scorer on the club, scoring 20 goals, or nearly one- quarter of the total number of tallies made. Not quite as spectacular, perhaps, but just as important, was the center man, Jimmy Corrigan. All the plays seemed to revolve about Jimmy as his record of 18 scores shows. The complete scoring record is as follows: Fewster led the pack with twenty goals, next came Corrigan with eighteen, then Strott with thirteen, Wallace and Martin tied for fourth place with ten apiece, Rogers and Burch with six each, and Neuman and Car- men with one apiece. Zmnis Of the four league matches played to date, the Polytechnic netmen have won three and dropped one, still leavinglthem in the running for the Scholastic champion- ship. One non-league match has been played, that with the strong Naval Academy Plebe squad. The first match was with City. Although rated the underdog, our netmen upset the apple cart by decisively trimming the Col- legians 5-2. Captain Schrieber lost his first match, but the other singles contestants, Kostkowski, McNeil, and the Rubin brothers, came through on the black side of the ledger. ,The two doubles matches were divided. After City, the team went to Annapolis. The Plebes thoroughly outclassed the Orange and Blue by taking all six singles tests and the three doubles to win 9-0. T. Rubin won the only set of the afternoon taken by our side when he was defeated 6-4, 3-6, l-6. Continuing their road tour, the squad then stopped at Gilman. We took our second league match handily, 6-1. Schrieber, Kostkowski, McNeil, T. Rubin and B. Rubin won in singles, while Gilman took their only point in the final doubles match. Calvert Hall came to Clifton Park to engage the Techmen three days later, but they were whitewashed cleanly, 5-0. Only singles matches were played, Schrieber, Kostkowski, McNeil, and the Rubins winning. The first Scholastic record blotch came at the hands of the Loyola team. Schrieber, Kostkowski and B. Rubin lost their matches, giving Loyola a 3-O lead. McNeil and T. Rubin brought us up to 2-3, with a chance to win in the last two doubles. But Schrieber and Kostkowski were beaten, while the Rubins won, enabling Loyola to nose us out, 4-3. C.: 606' The i943 Golf Team went through its short season undefeated locally, but a strong Naval Academy team tripped them for their only defeat. Loyola, Mt. St. Joseph, and Towson Catholic were the victims. Despite the fact that there is only one veteran on the squad, Leo Haslbeck, the four-man team appears to be well-balanced, as attested by the fact that all four of the team members qualified for match play in the interscholastic after finishing second in the team totals department. Captain Leo Haslbeck, on the team for three years, has been the number one man for the past two years. Warren Hassler, another senior, has been an asset to the team in the number two slot. Holding down the numbers three and four places are George Green, the only left hander on the team, and William Cronin, brother of Jack Cronin, who played last year. Both Green and Cronin are returning next season. The results of the matches: Poly .... 7 V2 Loyola ................ 'I V2 Poly .... 8 Mt. St. Joseph ...... 4 Poly .... 8Vz Towson Catholic..3V2 Leo Haslbeck scored the climax of the season by beating Louis Barcalow, of City College, 3 and 2 to gain the Maryland Inter- scholastic Golf Championship. Crack Under the leadership of Mr. William S. Lilly, the 1943 edition of the track team had high hopes of bringing the Scholastic Championship back to Poly. Unfortunately they started off on the wrong foot when Captain Schaab, Burton Cox, Pete Hambleton and Bob Henning finished third in the mile relay at the Penn Relay Games. Again the squad finished a poor third in the Public High meet, being beaten by City and Forest Park. Schaab placed first in the 220-yard dash, Burton Cox captured the broad iump and quarter mile run, and Bob Henning won the mile event. Because of inadequate facilities at Clifton Park four practice sitei for broad jumping, pole vaulting and the various putting events, the squad showed a decided lack of strength in these field events. This weakness was mainly responsible for our poor showing in the Public High meet. Forest Park, who had finished ahead of us in the Public Meet, was our first Dual Meet opponent. At the close of the day, our Cindermen led 58Vz to 49W. Oscar Schaab won the 220- and 100-yard dashes, Hambleton captured the 880-yard run, while Sakowich and Gates finished ahead of the others in the pole vault. Other winners were Litz in the 120-yard high hurdles and Henning in the mile. Additional scorers were Lombard, Geyer, Cox, Cushing, Taylor, Bender, Barnes and Graham. ln an invitation meet sponsored by Loyola, the Techmen virtually ran away with the hon- ors, capturing nine first places. Cox took three first places besides being a member of the mile relay and 900-yard relay teams, which also won. Schaab broke the tape before the other contestants in the 100 and 220 in addition to running on the 900-yard relay team. Hambleton and Graham won the half mile and mile races, respectively. Patterson was the next team to fall, they being defeated by a 46M to 34W score. Schaab led all entrants with a 'l0 point high score for the festivities. Cox in the quarter mile, Hambleton in the half mile, and Bender in the Shot Put captured first places. Tech ran up its highest point total of the season against St. Joe, defeating them with ridiculous ease 64-17. All but one first Hambleton, Shaab, and Grochmal. place was taken. Cox, Schaab, Hambleton and Henning won their events, which have been mentioned here frequently. Other winners were Mobley in the low hurdles, Graham in the discus, and Stackpole in the high hurdles. A clean sweep of all three places in the hundred, 880 and mile runs was a feature of the afternoon. This is a summary of the season to date, but the recent form of the team leads us to believe that they will continue their winning ways at the Central High Meet in Washington where we are defending champions. Cal Grochmal breaks the tape. Kascbal! The Polytechnic Baseball Team seems assured, as we go to print, of the Scholastic Conference CDivision 'lj Championship. They have two remaining divisional games on their schedule, and one win will clinch the championship. The teams yet to be played are St. Joe and Southern, both of whom Poly has previously defeated. The first scheduled, game was with Southern, but rain halted the contest. The first game of the season, therefore, was the game with the Navy Plebes at Annapolis. The Tars used ten walks and two errors to good advantage to defeat Poly 6-'l. Jimmy Formwalt, who hurled for the Engineers, allowed only five hits, but his wildness proved his undoing. We scored our only run in the fourth inning when Glorioso beat out a hit, Wieman walked, Precht sacrificed, and Dornbusch grounded out. Our first division game was with Patterson at Patterson Park. Lefty Appel was on the mound for Tech, and though he was touched for nine hits, he spread them about effec- tively. The team bounced Patterson's chucker for nine runs in the first three innings to provide Appel with an ample working margin. Jack Kinling was the big gun with a perfect 3-for-3 day. Three days later Poly traveled to St. Joe to play what was heralded to be the game for the championship. Appel was again the pitcher selected by Mr. O'Keefe to toe the rubber. He allowed but seven hits and two runs to completely bottle up St. Joe's attack, while his own mates were taking advantage of seven hits, seven walks, and one error to chalk up nine runs. Captain Kenny Precht and Bill Dornbusch teamed up to lead the attack, each having two hits in three trips to the plate. Loyola was our next opponent, and the second non-divisional foe to face Tech. The batters had their eye on the ball as they pounded out 14 runs on 11 hits to defeat the Blakefielders 14-8. Formwalt, Appel, and Cackles Worthington divided the chore on the mound, Appel getting credit for the victory. Captain Precht led the attack with two doubles, a single and a triple in four trips to the plate. 'T ff , 3 Bnsfsnu The cancelled game with Southern was played May 4 at Bloomingdale. At the end of four innings the Engineers led 'I7-4, a comfortable margin. It was not until the outfielders and infielders decided to try their hand at pitching did Southern come close to winning. The Maroon scored eleven runs in two innings before they were quelled, the final score being l7-'l5. Appel, Joy, Worth- ington, Gerber, Glorioso, and Precht took turns on the mound, the first-named again being the winning pitcher. Bill Dornbusch and Jack Kinling led the seventeen hit attack, the former clouting a home run, triple and single in five trips, while Kinling went 4-for-4. The team iourneyed to Gilman for their next non-divisional game, and again re- turned victorious, this time 'l2-5. Murray Wieman, heretofore a light hitter, clouted a tremendous triple with the bases loaded to clinch the game in the second inning. He also got two singles in three other times at bat. Charlie Kries punched out two singles to help the nine-hit onslaught. Patterson visited Bloomingdale for a re- turn engagement, but fared far worse than in the teams' first meeting. An eight-run rally in the fifth inning plus Appel's four-hit pitching featured the afternoon's festivities, as Tech pounded out a 15-4 victory. Four walks by the opposing pitcher as well as six errors by the Patterson fielders figured prominently in the scoring. Murray Wieman continued his hitting streak, getting 3 for 5. His double in the fifthlinning sparked the aforementioned rally. Poly has thus far won all four of their league games, winning two and losing but one non-league game. Their attack has functioned well, and the pitching has been satisfactory. Jack Kinling, burly catcher, leads all regulars with a phenomenal .550 batting average. Right behind him are Charlie Kries with .444 and Hump Morgan with .428. Other .300 hitters are Tad Wieman and Captain Ken Precht, each with .32'l, and Bill Dornbusch, leading slugger and clean-up hitter, with .308. Dornbusch is the only player to be repre- sented in all the extra-base columns, having two doubles, one triple, and one home run included in his eight hits. Lefty Appel has won all of the games, the team's only loss at the Naval Academy being charged to Jimmy Formwalt. The team will be well sprinkled with veterans next season. Kries and Morgan form the nucleus of a strong infield, while Lewis appears to have the catcher's berth under his belt. Only the outfield will be new, the present trio of Dornbusch, Glorioso, and Vance being graduated this year. Lefty Appel will be back next season to pitch, as will Cackles Worthington and Bob Smetana, two very promising hurlers. Cjlzcerleadars Although it is not classed as an athletic activity, the cheerleaders have led the songs and cheers that have spurred many Poly teams on to victory. At every football game, rain or shine, the boys in white go through their antics. When the Poly-City game rolls around, they are in near-perfect form, and even include some gymnastics in with their usual routine. The boys also help conduct the Pep Rallies and lead the tra- ditional cheering on the auditorium steps during the week preceding the Big Game. The cheerleaders were led by Louis Piasecki and William Boenning, co-leaders, and were coached by Mr. Freedman. Ralph Goldman, Albert Bersonsky, Robert Rutley, George Oliver, George Lewis, Arthur Sha- piro, Leo Schick and Leo Mullikin were mem- bers of the squad. Bersonsky and Goldman are expected to be co-leaders next year. X Avfivifies STUDENT GOVERNMENT STUDENT PUBLICATIONS CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Sfudcuf ,Mzfisary lffaard When Mr. DehuFf became Principal of Polytechnic Institute in 1921, he organized cl group of student leaders into the first Student Advisory Board. Such a Board was to substitute democratic student government for the disciplinary measures by the faculty, who, in former years were forced to act as policemen. Today student government as represented by the Student Council and the Student Advisory Board is respected by every Poly boy. The office of president of the Student Advisory Board, which is the highest honor that can be given to a Poly boy, was held during the past year by Calvin Grochmal. The president is nominated and elected by the Student Councilmen of the third and fourth year classes. In addition to the presi- dent, the Board consists of three senior class members, two iunior class members, a sophomore representative and the presidents of the February and June senior classes. Previously, the Student Advisory Board has always been subordinate to the Student Council. This year, the constitution was changed so that every other student organi- zation is responsible to the Board. Poly owes much of its fine reputation and tradi- tion to the excellent work of Student Ad- visory Boards. Student Hound! A vital part of any school is its govern- ment. At Poly the idea of self-government is carried out to a greater degree than in most schools. Our Student Council is the executive body which was organized by our principal, Mr. Wilmer A. DeHufT, with the express purpose of giving the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute a democratic form of student government. The council is composed of two members from each class who have been selected by popular ballot as the representatives of that class. These representatives must possess outstanding qualities of leadership, char- acter and scholastic ability. This year, the duties of the Student Council have been increased. Because of the acute shortage of help, resulting from existing war conditions, the councilmen were called upon to assist in arranging the chairs in the Cafeteria each morning. Since September of 1942, the councilmen have also taken charge of the sale of war stamps and bonds in the home rooms. Poly Hravker J. David Hopkins Herbert E. Tanneberger George J.

Your iudgment of the book is the measure of our success, your satisfac- tion is our reward. When the stat? was first organized, we set as our goal the publishing of the best yearbook in the history of Polytechnic. If this goal has been reached, and we sin- cerely hope it has, it was through the efforts of a very cooperative staff. The iob was not an easy one, it never has been, but this year there were added difficulties owing to war restrictions. Aside from the staff, there are many other people whose efforts in helping us to pre- pare this book have been very much appre- ciated. We wish to thank Mr. Gil Horn, Jr., for his many fine suggestions, Mr. Ed Schumacher, for his photographic work, Mr. Wayne Chevery, for his drawings, and Miss Freda Friedel, for the many little things which amount to such an impressive aggregate.

Upon investigation it was learned that he quietly left for the army, by invita- tion of his draft board. A sixty-point streamer had informed the Press' readers in the Fall, that a Victory Corps and Voluntary Military division had been established. Subsequent issues told of the progress of that organization, and, in- cluded the sea and model airplane division. At the beginning of the new term, the school was further informed that the third and fourth year boys were inducted into the Victory Corps. The last issue of the Press, told of a review of the Victory Corps to be held in the Stadium. This year, the names of the alumni have been published through- out the term, showing how Poly men have distinguished themselves. Stories of promo- tion, decoration and heroic action were continually printed. Sounding a sadder note the phrase killed in action or in the line of duty was mentioned several times. A somewhat staggered Press welcomed the first woman instructress to the school, expediency, writing finis to an old tradition. Gradually, the school and Press became ad- iusted to the new situation and the Press was able to accept the other incoming women teachers as a matter of course. ln determining the Press standing, as a success or failure this year, it is only neces- sary to remark that it received from the National Scholastic Papers of America, the All American superior rating in school iournalism. Many improvements had been noted of the Press's innovation, the main one being a victory issue which was sent all over the world to the graduates in service.

King Chapter of the National Honor Society, so named in honor of our school's former principal, Lt. William R. King, U.S.N. The Honor Society is composed of students who are the schooI's leaders scholastically, morally and progressively. Originally the Honor Society was formed to stimulate enthusiasm for excellent scholar- ship and character development. Since its inauguration in 1927, however, it has proved invaluable in service to the school. Its chief function is the furnishing of special tutoring for re-exams to those students re- quiring and seeking additional instruction in the absence of financial assistance. Classes are conducted daily with members of the Honor Society acting as tutors in the re- quired subiects. In addition to its coach classes, the Honor Society, under direction of its committee members, operates the Lost and Found Office and Show Case Displays. This year our Government sponsored a collection of scrap metal throughout the city. The Honor Society was asked to act as foremen at the various scrap centers and assist in the dis- tribution of the valuable material to in- dustrial plants. Its response was most commendable. This year the Honor Society's activities were supervised by its Presidents, Jack Gore, A15 and Charles Summers, Ax'l. Regiment of Poly Victory Cadets. Vicfnry Horps A democracy in its purest form is a gov- ernment of the people, for the people, and by the people. The Polytechnic Institute has always been proud of its democratic student government. Every student who has ever attended sessions at Poly was impressed with the straight-forward manner in which good citizenship was taught. On December 7, 1941, our country be- came involved in a struggle for national survival. Its future would, in a large meas- ure, be determined by the fighting spirit of its armed services, by the integrity of its lawmakers, and by its students, who have been trained to accept responsibility. Our government fully recognizes that the stu- dents of today will be the citizens and ofticers of tomorrow. Realizing the need for student prepared- ness, the Baltimore Polytechnic Victory Corps was organized, having as its nucleus the Air Raid Marshals. The duties of the Marshals, who had been trained in air raid procedure, were to assist the teachers in command in keeping order, and to carry messages from the school headquarters to its various outposts. Assisting the Marshals was the First Aid Corps, which was organ- ized under the direction of Mr. Mayfield. The Corps was composed of a group of re- sponsible students who were taught such elementary rudiments of first aid as artificial respiration, correct surgical bandaging, and the proper care and treatment of persons suffering from shock. During the air raid alerts these students serve as the medical division of our air raid defense system. The tasks of the Marshals and the First Aid Corps were greatly simplified by the in- stallation of the air raid speaker system by the schooI's Radio Club. When it became evident that the youth of our nation were going to be privileged to serve their country upon completion of their high school education, the Polytechnic Victory Corps staff decided to inaugurate a Victory Corps Training Plan. The pur- pose of such a plan was to present to the students, in a clear and concise form, ex- actly what they would do upon entering the armed forces, and by such a plan enable them to select that branch of service in which they could best serve their country. The Victory Corps plan provides for three main divisions: Air, Sea, and Land. For the Air Division, classes were organized to study elementary aeronautics. These classes were conducted before school in the morning and were so thorough that students completing the course of two semesters were given an examination prepared by the Civil Aero- Training in seamanship, piloting, and boat handling. small Elements of Aeronautics nautics Authority CC.A.A.D. Also included in the Air Division were the Airplane Identifica- tion Classes. ln these classes boys were taught to identify, immediately, planes of our nation and other nations, both allied and enemy. Lectures were given to the boys in the Sea Division by men of the Coast Guard and Patapsco Power Squadron. These lec- tures were on such topics as knot tying, reading of channel markers and other buoys, small boat handling, signaling by both the Morse and semaphore methods, and other related subiects. The activities of the Land Division con- sisted of military drill. Because officers of the armed forces were not available to high schools for training students in military drill, the first contingent of students to drill lvolunteers selected from the Air Raid Marshalsj were drilled by members of the faculty who had experience in that line. Splitesecond plane identification training. These students became the ofticers of the Military Drill Division of the Victory Corps with the duty of training and drilling the third and fourth year classes in the same manner in which they had been drilled. When the United States Navy asked the schools of the nation to form Model Airplane Clubs for the express purpose of obtaining scale models of the various planes to facilitate the teaching of classes in airplane identification, the men of Polytechnic were anxious to help. Under the direction of Mr. Nathan Freedman, the club has been building model planes for the Navy and Marine Corps. Some of these model planes have been used in the instruction of our own student airplane identification classes. In recognition of their excellent work, the club members were made honorary ensigns of the Navy. The Radio Club began enlarging its regu- lar classes in radio code and theory so that more boys could have the oportunity of learning this kind of work. The club con- structed a walkie-talkie outfit so that students could become familiar with the in- struments the Army uses. The Army is look- ing for boys with a knowledge of radio, so the benefits of this course can readily be seen. In addition to the other courses already mentioned, lectures on chemical warfare, meteorology, and navigation were given. Thus in the short period of a year and a half, the entire third and fourth year classes of the student body were actively engaged in some activity, enabling them to under- stand, in a general manner, exactly what our nation wanted and what was expected of them. Our Victory Corps has become the medium through which each student at Polytechnic is enabled to serve his country by preparing himself for the greater tasks that lie ahead. The many lessons in self- discipline and respect for lawful authority which he has received, stimulated a true sense of responsibility and pride. U. S.

Its fine work and orderly super- vision is creditable to its founder and director, Mr. Nathan Freedman. During the year it has been the obiect of the club to promote greater experiments in fish life. A fifty-gallon tank was built by their adviser to aid them in this proiect. As a result very important research data regarding fish diseases and the care and raising of perishable tropical fish has been collected. Within the club proper, many in- teresting contests have been sponsored to promote greater interest among the members throughout the year. CAMERA CLUB When former adviser, Mr. Sauer, was called into the service, the Camera Club chose Miss Marion Krause of the Science Department to succeed him. Along with Miss Krause, the Club is advised by Oppenheimer, A2, President, LuLay, N4, Vice-President, and Leonard, Axl, Secretary. The activities of the year were varied and instructive. Visits were made to the Sun Offices, where the members saw the wirephoto machinery, and to the Zepp Photo Company, where members saw the darkroom and inspected commercial photographic pro- cedure. Speakers were invited to meetings and valuable information was thereby ob- tained. The club members not only entered contests themselves, but carried on their annual contest open to the student body. DRUM AND BUGLE CORPS The Drum and Bugle Corps continued to operate and practice during the second half of the scholastic year, in order to condition members for forthcoming spring activities, which include entrance into the High School Drum Corps Festival in competition with other high schools, and participation in local fiag raisings. Student officers for the year were Meyers, Bl, Chief Drum Major, Shriner, Mx4, Drum Sergeant and Manager, and Randall, C3 Bugle Sergeant, with Mr. Brendle advising. The fall activities included parading at foot- ball games. Worthy of commendation was the Corps' fine performance at the Poly-City Game. BAND The Band has enioyed a most successful season. For the past fifteen years, under the expert supervision of Mr. Nathan Freedman, our composer, adviser, leader, blacksmith, hobbyist and teacher, the band has progressed, enioying the appreciation of the entire student body. Our band this year is extremely pro- ficient in its drilling. As its student officers, the band elected Grimm, K'l, Drum Major, and Johnson, Mi, Student Manager. At present, the band is playing for each Victory Corps assemblage, a duty assumed upon the incep- tion of the Corps. The band's inspiring rendi- tions of military compositions enabled the Victory Corps' officers to drill the infantry to a greater degree of precision and formation. CHESS CLUB Proving their expertness and mental agility at the great game of chess, the Chess Club scored a brilliant triumph over the Naval Academy team this year by defeating them 4 to 0. This season the club has participated in many games between its members, although no city-wide contests were conducted. Various systems were used to determine the most accomplished member of the club. Under their adviser, Mr. Rudasill, members elected the following officers: Konstant, A2, President and Treasurer, and Shalowitz, K2, Vice-President and Secretary. The Chess Club ranks as the leading organization of its kind in the city. FRENCH CLUB The past season's meetings of the French Club have centered chiefly around the story Un Drame Sous La Regence, and a committee appointed to dramatize it. With club members taking the parts, the dramatization was pro- duced with the intentions of performing the play in its entirety before an audience of the French Clubs from other Baltimore high schools. This year's activities will end with the annual picnic, attended also by advisers. Officers for the year were Bateman, K3, President, Belli, Bl, Vice-President, Coburn, Bxl, Secre- tary, and List, Bxl, Treasurer. tl c 3 H ug, I if '- A z dr F x f ' gfs, Q v v F i M L5 Q5 iagwig Q was 3 is 5 gig f r ,Q fZ W' Y Q 'Y Aa P 6: TM if ' Q Q Qs W YY ? ...Q-N-H 2, igQ'E:1 m..Y 9 1 wi 3 'HW WW' 1 1 I ff Ying f-4 M all , Nfl 'Wk i 'W L Ei Q X A MIM i gsli vii 5 E!!

Each member of the club was required, during the school year, to give a talk of not less than ten minutes duration on some topic which he had selected. A round table discussion fol- lowed each talk, but when members differed greatly in opinions, debates were frequently held. Last year the club sponsored a round table discussion by the students on the topic What We Are Fighting For. This discussion was held in the auditorium before the student body. The club has started to collect state flags to add to its collection of over 75 minia- ture foreign flags. There were numerous trips made to places of historical interest. LIBRARY CLUB Polytechnic's Library has always been an integral part of school life. All the intricate details of circulation, fines, attractive shelving, and general upkeep of the Library are handled by the club members, thereby alleviating some of the Librarian's burden, which enables her to catalogue a greater number of books for the students' use. This year the club's Presi- dent, G. J. Jarosinski, has assembled an in- teresting and delightful collection of books to be distributed throughout the armed services as one of the club's patriotic services. Since the club's inception, the Library has enioyed a most enviable reputation owing to its conveni- ence, congenial surroundings, and refined atmosphere. METALLURGY CLUB War conditions and the lack of priorities made it impossible for the Metallurgy to obtain the critical war materials to which the club members had been accustomed. However, the members agreed to make small articles, such as rings, from scrap material available from the preceding years and metals acquired from other sources. The most intriguing problem that faced the club members was that of making this year's Principal's Award. Follow- ing a thorough discussion, it was decided to utilize every old casting not used in previous years for the project. This year's officers were Gaffney, A'I, President, Millon, N4, Secretary- Treasurer, and Mr. Webster, adviser. HI-Y CLUB I With its charter purpose being to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community higher standards of Christian char- acter, the Hi-Y Club at Poly has endeavored to live up to this purpose. The club's activities during the year included the formation of basketball, softball, and baseball teams, a hike and weenie roast, a club dance at Levering Hall, joining the National Hi-Y, and other vari- ous activities at the Y.M.C.A. Officers for the past season were Donahue, Ex'I, President, Drummond, Exs, Vice-President, Johnson, Mi, Secretary, and Witlan, Kx2, Treasurer. METALCRAFT CLUB The Metalcraft Club, under the advisership of Mr. Longley, suspended the regular meetings and accomplished what they could for the war effort. This took the form of helping in the various salvage drives and in carrying out two proiects of their own. The first was the re- claiming of usable metal from salvaged articles for use in place of unobtainable metal for- merly used by the club members. The second project consisted of cooperating with the Government's Don't Buy It If You Don't Need It drive. This was acomplished by the mem- bers bringing in broken articles or parts and repairing them. Officers for the past season were Dodd, Al, President, and Wroten, A1, Secretary. NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB During the term the Natural Science Club has studied topics such as: Plastics, their com- position and applications in different fields, Chemical Warfare and the treatment of gas wounds, in addition to all allied topics relating to science in the war, and an extensive discus- sion of the life of Galileo and his contributions to science. The club presented an exhibit in the show case entitled Plastics in the Modern Age, which was exceptionally interesting and instructive. Members of the club selected their officers by popular vote this year. Smyser, A'l, was elected President, and Herstein, Ki, Vice- President. ' K . A- , s .

Winchester, a member of the English Depart- ment. An intelligent interpretation of the classical gems of the famous masters in music has been the aim of our orchestra. The annual spring concert, one of the feature presentations of the orchestral season, was an excellent display of sterling musicianship and poise. This year, the presence of our orchestra has been requested at our Parent-Teacher meeting, Western High School Concert, and our own Polytechnic commencement. RAILROAD CLUB The activities of the Railroad Club have been somewhat limited in scope because of prevail- ing war conditions. The club's headquarters for the past year has been Polytechnic's attic. Here the members have spent numerous hours in the construction of an H-O gauge railroad layout. Such a project necessitated the closing off of a room, building of a platform, laying of hand-made track, and the construction of various switches. As their new adviser, the club selected Mr. Weber, a member of the Science Department, who replaced Mr. Miller, former adviser now serving in the armed forces. Acting officers of the club were Cecce, Ki, President, Mobley, M4, Vice-President, and Voith, M4, Secretary-Treasurer. STAGECRAFT CLUB The discontinuance of the annual Poly Follies this year seemed at the time to indicate that the Stagecraft Club would have fewer duties. However, when the announcement concerning the Variety Show, which was to replace the Follies, was made, the club resumed its original work of handling the stage property. In the absence of formally elected officers, the group was advised by the older members and the club's adviser, Mr. Romoser, of the Engineering Department. Stagecraft work is interesting but difficult, involving the changing of stage cur- tains, adiusting of lights and scenery, and similar assignments necessary for the proper conduct of a stage performance. RADIO CLUB The Radio Club, now in its twenty-fourth year of operation, conducted code classes during the Victory Corps periods and a radio set con- struction class to give the members a practical knowledge of radio. Most notable of the achievements of the club was the installation and operation of a speaker system for use during air raid alerts. The members rebuilt an amplifier given to the club by Mr. Maccubbin, and with wire supplied by the Electrical Labora- tory, installed speakers on each floor. Advised by Mr. Link, the club is one of the oldest and most valuable at Poly. The officers for the year were Sinton, Ki, President, Hodges, Ki, Vice-President, Kraus, Cl, Treasurer, and Mc- Pherson, B2, Secretary. SENATE CLUB The Senate Club is composed of two parties, the Liberals and the Conservatives. Holding debates every other meeting in parliamentary procedure, each party argues for or against some resolution presented. Several resolutions debated during the year were: Resolved-That The United States Collect World War ll Debts From The United Nations: Resolved-That The United Nations' Strategy On The War Front Be To Liquidate Germany Before Japan. The annual auditorium debate was held on the resolution: Resolved-That The Voting Age Of A United States Citizen Be Lowered To Include Those Eighteen Years of Age. President for the term was Moore, Al, Hecht, K4, Vice- President, and Potts, Bxl, Secretary-Treasurer. STAMP CLUB Although war conditions made stamps harder to obtain, such conditions provided new incen- tive for the collectors of the Stamp Club. Organized by Dr. Spedden almost thirty years ago, the club was forced to seek its first new adviser this spring because of Dr. Spedden's absence for the term. The usual spring contest was held with entries divided into three classes: United States Stamps, Foreign Stamps and Specialities. Plans for the future included having speakers from the Baltimore Philatelic Society, stamp quizzes and exchanges. Officers for the year were Meyers, Bi, President, Panuska, C4, Vice-President, and Manley, A'l, Secretary and Treasurer. ,llmaylflatcfr I Loyally, gratefully, .loyfully saluting Thee, Pleclging our love to Thee, school so fair.
