Qfsiulf' , , AN ODE TO PGLY Our walls are not of ivy Our campus not so great We have no green surroundings Like other schools that rate. The halls through which we wander May not of marble be. Pictures on the walls are few, They're there in memory. The rooms may all be battered, Wfith boards all marked with chalk. And desks so close together, There's hardly room to walk. But these are all material things And do not count at all, For a school is made of spirit, Not pictures on the wall. It's not the bricks and stones that count Or the shady trees and grass. It's not the large and fancy doors Through which the students pass. Instead it's made of loyalty And the faith that students give. It's not of bricks nor stones my friend But the spirit within that lives. -L. Metcalf, Class of '55 i. V Zeddie P. Bowen Editor-in-Chief Thomas L.

Resh Yearbook Adviser PUBLISHED ANNUALL Y BY THE SENIOR CLASS THE BAL TIMORE POL YTECHNIC INSTITUTE BAL TIMQRE MAR VLA ND --LA 3 'MH John Horn 4 DEDICA TION Mr. john Horn, who, as a member of Poly's Practice Department, teaches a course in Materials of Construction, was himself a Poly boy, a member of the Class of 1928. Follow- ing his stay at Poly, Mr. Horn attended Towson State Teachers College until 1930. He ob- tained his B.S. degree from the University of Maryland in 1934 and his master's degree from the -same college in 1947. Meanwhile, in 1938, exactly ten years after his graduation from Poly, Mr. Horn had returned to his high school alma mater as a teacher. He has been an instructor here ever since, except for the period 1941-45, when Mr. Horn was called upon to serve in the armed forces. At Poly, he has not limited himself to regular duties as an instructor, but has, as senior class adviser, given unsparingly of his time and energy to the graduating class. There- fore, it is indeed fitting that the 1955 Craclcer be dedicated to Mr. Horn, not only in order to salute him for his years of service as a Polytechnic instructor, but in order to let him feel the great appreciation of the senior class for the immeasurable advice and assistance which he has rendered in the role of senior class adviser, and to testify to the genuine esteem in which Mr. Horn is held by the graduating class. 5 ,---JE fl' I Ji ,'- e nil I n s X 1 Q33 DL-CUDLSUH, PRINCIPAL! 5 3. 91 i Q l, PZ 'f fix, , .. After writing final letters to graduating classes for thirty-four years, I still believe that I can do no better than say that there is no substitute for hard work for the young man who desires to get ahead, and that the Golden Rule is a good one to follow. Dr. Wilmer A. Dehuff Principal 'Z Wx, Harry F. Frank Vice-Principal X Claude A. Burkert Vice-Principal We, who are students at Polytechnic, owe a great debt to those men who, as administrators of our great school, strive so hard daily to maintain high standards. These standards Poly students have emulated since first the school won recognition as one of the very best secondary educational institutions in the nation. We feel deep appreciation for these men who, in their love for Poly, have given us a school of which we are exceedingly proud and standards which we shall always hold as guiding stars within our sky. 9 ' MA THEMA TICX DEPAR TME T Seated, L. to R.: I.

King Chapter of the National Honor Society is a vital organ- ization of the student body. Selected on the basis of scholarship and extra-curricular participation, members perform sev- eral annual activities of great importance to their school and their community. Each Christmas the Honor Society cam- paigns for funds to buy gifts for the children at Kernan's Hospital and Happy Hills. Members of the Society conduct the Lost and Found and act as guides for visitors during Education Week. Perhaps their most important school function is the conducting of coach classes in the spring for those students who must take re-exams. Thus, the Honor Society actually takes part in the pedagogery at Poly, performing its role with distinction from year to year. XTUDENT ADVIXUR Y BUARD Following the Polytechnic policy of government by the students, the Student Advisory Board, a rep- resentative organization composed of fifteen members of the junior and senior classes, makes and enforces the school laws. Such regulations as stair directions and cafeteria rules are products of Student Advisory Board legislation. However, in addition to formulating school policy, the Board issues summons to rule violators to appear before the Student Court. Members of the Student Advisory Board are elected by the Student Council, but the President and Vice-President are elected by the entire student body at a special assembly program. 24 X TUDEN T CUUR T In the Student Court is invested the judicial power of Poly's student govern- ment. The eight justices convene every Hfednesday after school to try, convict or acquit, and sentence violators of the school rules. Punishments meted out by the Student Court vary with the serious- ness of the misdemeanor and may be anything from writing compositions to polishing trophies. Decisions are made with extreme fairnessg however, if the defendant wishes, he may appeal to the principal for revision of his sentence. AXXEMBLIEX CHRIXTMAX Christmas-time at Poly is replete with festive trappings and activities. The yuletide spirit is exemplified by the traditional Christmas tree, the annual children's hospitals' charity drive, and, probably most of all, by the Christmas play. As usual, this yearly light drama was pre- sented by the Sir Henry Irving Dramatic Club under the direction of Mr. Henry Jansen, mem- ber of the English Department and author of the skit. Of course, the program included the usual Nativity Scene, the parade of gifts for Kernan's and Happy Hills to the stage, Christ- mas Carols, and the dismissal for the Christmas holidays. I i ' c l I :L ,HT W3 26 VE TERANLY DA Y One of Poly's most inspiring and solemn tra- ditions is the annual Veteran's Day assembly, in which Polytechnic students pay tribute to those of their predecessors who made the su- preme sacrifice in defense of their country. Each year the entire school body stands silent for a moment as a procession places a wreath in the Memorial Corridor niche, and taps are played. This year these stirring ceremonies were pre- ceded by an address by Commander Richard D. King, Polytechnic Class of l937. Then the band and the Color Guard took charge, and the tra- ditional salute was made to those Poly boys who paid the last full measure of devotionf' y 4 2 il Nmxww ,,f. .,1 ,,f, -f 1--f If ,,:.,.n,I.i'.

F00 TBALL Patterson Park Opening the season, the gridmen faced the most experienced and fastest team they would face all season - Patterson Park. Poly took the kickoff and relin- quished the ba1l.on a punt. The Pats, wasting no time, promptly scored to make it 6-0. Bob Silbersack scored in the first quarter but that was far from enough as the Clippers triumphed, 32-12. Gilman Bouncing back from a set-back by Patterson a week earlier, Poly rolled over an undermanned Gilman eleven to the tune of 39-7. The tech men rolled up 26 points by half time and coasted the rest of the way, with John Brauer accounting for two of our six touchdowns on runs of 70 and 60 yards. John Runk was a standout on the line, while George Cox played center like a pro. Mt. St. Joe In the St. Joe tilt, the Engineers came from behind in the closing seconds of play to turn back the highly rated Gaels, 19-13. Drawing first blood, Poly scored on an 18-yard pitchout play from Mfill Barrett to John Brauer. Bob Silbersack then fired a 30-yard pass to Chink Joyce for the Techmen's second tally. In the second half, the boys from the Mount capitalized on some Poly miscues, and took a 13-12 lead into the following quarter. Poly re- Cloaclrs Lunisden and Russ discuss strategy turned a St- Joe Punt to the 1-5131-d line and Will Barrett with Co-Captains Johnson, Joyce and Runk. tallied on Zpplungel Tech triumphed 19-13 Over their annual rival. 40 The Evening Sun trophy. Forest Park By far the most exciting game of the season was the Forest Park encounter. Although Poly was a six-point pre-game favoriteg a hard-fighting Forester squad, play- ing over its head, held the Engineers to the narrowest of margins. After recovering a fumble on their own 40 in the opening minutes of the second period, Poly then opened the scoring. John Brauer, caught in his own backfield, eluded several Forester tacklers and raced 71 yards for Poly's lone tally. Tom Joyce added the all important P.A.T. Forest Park scored on a six-play drive which netted them 66 yards. Mel Anderson blocked the Foresters at- tempted conversion in the game's most thrilling play to end the scoring at 7-6. fv'I'S : . .i -- rf- , . digg, Ll'- li -. A.

The Dons scored on a nine-play drive in the first period and stayed ahead throughout the game to upset Poly, 13-8. Severn Poly rebounded from its 13-8 loss to Loyola by soundly trouncing Severn School 25-6, on the loser's field.

This contest was a milestone in the Poly football history. Dave Lorber passed to Frank Schader for the last touchdown of the game. This gave '4Russ's Rangers first touchdown in five seasons . john Brauer turned in another stellar performance, scoring two touchdowns, setting up two others and run- ning for four first downs. Poly defense breaks through to drive oppon- ent from the goal line. City A spirited holiday crowd of 15,000 saw the varsity eleven gloriously end its season by crushing its arch rival, City College, 19-0. Hank Overton and john Runk opened a beautiful hole for Captain Vfillis Johnson to scamper through for a 43-yard touchdown on Poly's very first offensive play. Coach Lumsden called it, Beautiful . . . a neat, perfect play! Bob Silbersack took the ball over from the Collegian three, ending a seventy-two-yard drive, in the second half. After the kickoff Poly turned a City miscue into scoring drive ended by John Brauer's 2l,yard dash. Winning the game gave Poly its second straight leg on the sixth Evening Sun trophy. The Engineers need only one more leg for permanent retirement of the trophy. Afsfifii Little gain is made by Poly against tight defense. .- .1-.Q r 71 .1 ..,.--. . . - CROSS COUNTRY Poly's Varsity harriers completed this year's campaign with their usual success. A fine squad, under the able tutelage of Coach XfValdo Hambleton, turned in an overall performance of nine wins with but one setback as Tech captured its third consecutive Maryland Scholastic Association Crown. Our season opened in Alexandria, Virginia, where we faced the George Washington High School team, Poly dropped this pre-season fracas, scoring 31 points against the opposition's 25. This loss was beneficial, however, in that, the Engineers reaped their vengeance on every team that they were to encounter later. In a triangular meet at Clifton Park with Mt. St. Joseph and Mervo-Tech, the Blue team turned in a score of 28 points to triumph by a wide margin. Our thinclads next journeyed to Hillsdale, where they victimized Calvert Hall and Forest Park - Poly 21, the Foresters 44, and Calvert Hall 70. In an all important contest with City and Patterson Park, Poly placed in third, fourth, fifth, and sixth positions to win 27 to City's 38 and to Patterson Park's 7l. Not only did the men from North Avenue defeat their league adversaries, but they engaged and conquered three teams of college freshmen. The Techmen first invaded Annapolis and downed its Navy Plebes by a close score of 28 to 29. Then at Homewood, the unsuspecting Johns Hopkin's Frosh were humbled by the Engineer juggernaut - the score stood most one-sided at 20 to 40. The last of this trio of ill-fated squads to bow before the Orange and Blue was the freshmen team of the University of Maryland, and on that afternoon at College Park, the terrible were not so terrible as they lost 24 to 33. Onward to the M. S. A.'s rolled the unbeatable Poly, where again our supremacy was undenied. City College, with 42 points, came closest to Poly's winning :score of 80 that last and championship race. The incessant success of this year's team can be widely attributed to a group of boys who ran better than average speed and consistency. The harriers, they include the brothers Charlie and Mike Fleming, Fred March, Lester Palmer, Emory Brown, and Tom MacDonald did most of our scoring throughout the fall season and are deserving of a good deal of praise. Yet, let us make mention of their teammates, who gave wholeheartedly of their efforts and presence the entire duration of the campaign. This latter category includes such speedsters as Bill Frack, Kay Taylor, Charlie Hax, Jim Ports, Stan Bielski, Clifton Cullum, Joe Daneker, Dick Simmons, and Louis Tacchetti. In the role of the team captain was flashy Bob 'fLandy Kennedy, who was unfortunately sidelined with a severe charley-horse. It might be interesting to note that the championship this fall marked the fourteenth such crown won by Tech under Mr. Hambleton's mentorship in the nineteen year history of the M. S. A. championship race. In all sincerity, we at Poly believe this record speaks for itself. Mike and Charlie Fleming help Fritz March after a gruelling race. 43 'A V-.4-M, 11 P1 Isl row, I,. lo R.: R.

They came from behind to win the Maryland Scholastic Association Championship at Calvert Hall's immediate expense. It was the strategic mind of Phil Aaronsen and the superlative play of our team throughout the year, that enabled us to garner this coveted crown. Oddly enough, Tech opened the season with a streak of four defeats. These were at the hands of Towson Catho lic, Mt. St. Joseph, Loyola and Calvert Hall, respectively. Fortunately, these early season setbacks were exhibition or practice encounters and were not counted in league stand- ings. Then, starting with Gilman, the hot Poly squad went on a winning rampage which became a permanent fixture for the entire campaign. In league play, we amassed an impressive record of nine wins and only one loss. This lone defeat came in a closely fought game in the second round of public school play against Southern's dangerous quintet. It was this team, along with Patterson Park, that gave the Big Blue Team its only real league competition. At the Eastern High court on the cold night of Febru- ary 25th, the Engineers clinched the Public School Cham- pionship by a decisive win over Patterson's Clippers. Through this victory, Tech also gained the right to meet the highly rated Calvert Hall aggregation in the best two out of three series for the M. S. A. crown. ln the first of these three tilts at Home- wood, our b-ballers' play was not up to stand- ard. The stubborn Cardinals, led by George Mill and Jim Fowler, romped to a 63 to 56 win. The victor of this first game was said to have a psychological advantage in the ensuing struggle. But this was not so, as the Orange and Blue, paced ably by center joe O'Hara with 22 tallies, turned back their surprised op- ponents. The lop-sided final score was '78 to 63. In the third and deciding game played before a capacity crowd of 2,000, the scarlet and gold of Calvert Hall was faded in defeat. From the opening tap it was Poly's ballgame, with Bucky Foote and joe O'Hara pouring in basket after basket. As the last gun went off, the scoreboard read 54 for Poly and 46 for Calvert Hall. The jubilant victors then swept their beaming mentor into the shower room wher r ' ' . . . , 6 he was t adluonauy dunked Coming in fast, joe 0'Har'a makes a much needed two Not only did this unbeatable five win both Points' crowns, it set several records in doing so. Against Mervo, the entire squad contributed to the setting of a modern public school scoring record, 120 to 59. This fantastic total eclipsed the mark set by Patter- son this year, also against Mervo Tech. The team total of 78 points in the second game of the Calvert Hall series was also a new record. Individually, it was joe O'Hara, our versatile center, who broke the record of most points scored by a single man in the championship playoffs. The lanky 'redhead dumped in 17, 22, and 21 points respectively, for a grand total of 60 markers. This erased the old record of 50 points established by Braun of Poly, several years back. joe, incidentally, was chosen captain of the All-Maryland second squad. The members of our team can not be rated as individual performersg instead, they must be judged as a unit, as a basketball machine that could not be stopped. Captain Tom Joyce, the play-making backcourt man was the moulding element the team needed so badly. Mfith his cool, -clever and sometimes hilarious play, he coordinated and sparked his teammates in every tilt. Alfie Utara is well known, of course, in the basketball limelight here at Tech. On numerous oc- casions it was ute's stellar play and incessant hustle that gave us the ballgame. The boy with the deadly one-hander from half-court is none other than Phil Kulinski. Phil seems a natural ballplayer who can jump and shoot with the best of his competitors. Last, but not least, of the starters, is the irrepressible little guard with the ever hot hands, known as Bucky Foote. Buck has proven he can do just about everything with the laceless sphere. He can dribble like Bob Cousy, shoot like Frank Selvy, and jump like Sihugo Green. Because of his invaluable play, he was placed on the second All-Maryland live along with O'Hara. Through mid-year graduation, Poly lost the services of the fine veteran backcourt artist, john Mason. Mason, with his ability either to drive or shoot from the outside, earlier teamed with Chinker Aloyce as our steadying influence. Of course, some mention must be made of the varsity reserves, better known as The Rangers, who gave so whole- heartedly of their practice and support. These boys with splinters include Len Saari, Herm Fish Hannan, Paul 'fReds Montgomery, Allen Douglas, Vsfarren Susio VVilson, Ronnie Felton, Dick Scarbath, and jack Frog Bowerman.

Their league record of 3 wins, l loss, and l tie was good enough for third place in the M. S. A. The booters began their practice campaign with a l to 1 tie with the Gaels of Mt. St. Joe. Toras Charchalis, who gained honorable mention on the 1953 All-Maryland Team, scored Poly's first '54 goal. Next, the techmen journeyed to meet and defeat their country cousins, Dundalk, to the tune of 2 to l on goals by Charchalis and newcomer Charlie Meyers. Next on Poly's schedule was the team destined to top the league, Calvert Hall. As expected, Tech lost 1 to 0. Gary Helms, Poly netminder, was outstanding. The following game was with a listless Mervo team, which offered little resistance to tech's power. Poly won 3 to 0. Then began the rat race. Tech's first game was against the team it was forced to share the '53 crown with, Patterson Park. Trailing 2 to 0, Poly caught fire and tallied two fast goals, one by Dave Meredith on a cross from '53 All-Marylander Dick Lang. Meredith took honorable mention on the '53 team. Charchalis tallied the second on a penalty shot. The game ended in a tie and Poly then met St. Joe, losing l to 0. Standout for Poly was Gil Schuerholtz, who made second string All- Maryland in '53. The boys looked ahead, however, for their next opponent was Mervo. Poly was victorious again, this time, 3 to l. Next came the game which was a moral victory for the techmen. Calvert Hall had been cruising along, undefeated, untied, and un- scored on. Charlie Meyers, Poly's standout center foreward, blemished this perfect record. Taking a pass, he went 45 yards and drilled a shot through the uprights to put Poly ahead, with about 3 minutes remaining to be played. Just when victory was so near, l second away, to be exact, Calvert Hall scored and salvaged a non-de- sei ved tie with a Poly II that looked tops. Then, Poly rolled over Park, 4 to O. Poly's goals were by Lang, Charchalis, and Meyers who got two. On to City. On. Nov. 5, Poly took the field to meet a team . they hadn't beaten in 9 years. This was to be changed, for Poly defeated City, 4 to ' 3, on the strength of two goals by Warren Jones, ineligible until then, and one each M, , 43 U A by Lang and Charchalis. ' Three tech players gained All-Maryland honors. Dick Lang received his string honors along with Toras Charchalis. Lang received first honors at his outside right position in '53 and honorable mention in '52. Gil Schuerholtz received second string honors, and was also on last year's All second team, as was Charchalis. Coach Fisher discusses forthcoming strat- egy with team captain Lang.

WRESTLING Coach Fisher's varsity ten, led by champions Charlie Beinkampen and Auggie Rampolla, registered four team triumphs to record a winning season. Among the teams which were turned back by the Engineers was the Gilman team, the state champion. Poly routed the Roland Park grapplers by a very one-sided 22 to 11 in the most bitterly contested match of the dual meet season. After trouncing City College 31 to 5, the team bowed to Southern High in a match which was marked by upsets. Before the injury-riddled Tech squad lost to McDonogh and Mervo-Tech, it rolled over Patterson Park. The team rebounded to set the Gaels on their heels by an overwhelming score, in the season's final match. The team, which took fourth place in the state tournament, sorely felt the loss - due to injury - of Al Hladik, 120, and John Corcoran, 165, both of whom were fourth place winners in last year's tournament, at 127 and 175 respectively, and jim Gilstrap, the 1954 heavyweight champ. In addition to these, the team also felt the loss of Jim Cullings, 112, Don Loats, 127, and Dick Kolhafer, 175. Notwithstanding these setbacks, Poly brought home two champions, a second place and two fourths. Bink Beinkampen, at 154, and Auggie Rampolla, at 133, are the champions, Carl Majeczky, 145, is the runner-upg and Vic Dates, 165, and jim Tress. 138. are the fourth place winners. Xavier McGeady, 112, Dick Kerr, 120, Harvey Sellers 127, and Bill Corcoran, 175, along with Sam Smith, at heavyweight represented Poly in the tournament but did not register any points. Boys who wrestled in the dual meets but IlOt in the tournament were Lee Martin, Billy Dee, Harrison Lazarus, and 1fVal1y Crum, in addition to those mentioned as having been injured. Prospects for next year's team are favorable, as .lim Cullings, Al Hladik, Smith, Billy Dee, and Harrison Lazarus will return for next season's body bending.

The team's record proved this as they won only a single game in the second round of league play not to mention a defeat by Calvert Hall's Cardinals in Harvard Cup play. This contrasts with a reverse first round log of 3 wins and one setback. Duke Roberts replaced Ali Baba Turner in the goal. The former only a qlunior, is thought of by his Coach and other informants as an extremely capable performer. Roberts, in the future, will no doubt provide even a greater service to his team. Brud Patterson filled in for the graduating Standish Marriott, and with Roger Klaesius and Larry Samil- t0ll, provided Tech with a smooth attack. Such skaters as Roger Goss and Watle Travelsted, were a defense strongpoint for the Engineers. Both boys were instrumental this year as they served as iron men by par- ticipating in most of the playing time. The Varsity's second line featured a trio of pucksters who possess both good stickwork and smooth skat- ing. These boys, Stan Sokolove, Mike Be-ivan, and Tom Burke, will return next year to provide a firm scoring punch. Defenseman Charlie Calvert and Wingiiian Ross Rippel saw limited action as reserves. The dark days of mid-term were also marked by the absence of wingman jerry Mole Mueller and de- fender Bruce Peterson, who were declared scholastically ineligible. These two'icers contributed greatly to the teams early success and their efforts were sorely missed. The first round of the hockey league at the Sports Centre Rink found Tech victorious over Calvert Hall, Loyola, Mt. St. joseph, while bowing in a squeaker to a Seve polished Forest Park sextet. This hard fought tilt marked by double overtime, resulted in a close 4-3 Forester win. The Engineers were ahead, 3-2, with only 40 seconds left to go in the game. Unfortunately the enemy puck- sters tallied the equalizer and with a mere 20 seconds remaining in the second extra session, whipped home the deciding marker for an impressive and important victory. The second round of play resulted in three losses at the hands of Forest Park, Loyola, and Calvert Hall, and only one victory . . . St. Joe. Tech was subdued in the Harvard Cup playoffs by a hustling Cardinal squad that went on to upset Forest Park, and cop the coveted cup. Coach Carey, the amiable mentor who is so well liked by his boys, predicts a successful squad for next year. The reason for this bit of optimism lies in the return of nine lettermen and the promise shown by a quintet of I I.V.'ers led by All-Maryland Iayvee puckster, Roddie Roger Klaesiustrys for a goal in some practice nianeuiers.

X WIMM NG Despite difficulties, the swimming team turned in a commendable performance this season. With an average of an organized practice per week during the regular season, Tech still posted a .500 won-lost record. Poly's natators beat Forest Park, Mergenthaler, and Calvert Hall while losing meets to McDonogh, Mt. St. joseph, and City College, the latter two being league co-champions this season. During the first half of the season Tech fared better than in the later part as most of the first meets were close ones. After mid-season, however, Poly began to slack off due to sickness and, to a lesser degree, graduation. The end of the season found the team in nearly the condition that it was in at first, instead of being improved as would teams with consistent practice. As the Maryland Scholastic Championships grew near, the team had champion contenders in four events. In the 40 yd. free style George Ritter swam for Tech, while Ken Broom and Ron Roach excelled in the 100 yd. free style. The Medley Relay team, composed off Bill Fiege, Buddy Howe, and Gordon Brandau, and the Freestyle Relay swum by Ritter, Roach, Broom, and Gene Bigham were also in contention for the title. Due more to bad luck than anything else, only two of the contenders placed in the finals, Brook taking third in the 100 and Ritter placing fourth in the 40. With a strong V., which made an admirable showing in the V. championships, Poly's future in the swimming world looks very bright. Indeed Ray Mayrovitz, a new and spirited coach, may field a championship contender next year. lb Two of Poly's team vigorously practice for a coming meet. iff? r'.-e Slandmq I to If M.

Nelson L ones RIFLE Poly's varsity rifle team shot its way to the Mary- land State Rifle Championship for the second con- secutive year. The team, captained by Charlie Scheid, a veteran of three years experience, turned in a very respectable 10 and 2 win-loss record. The only losses of the season were to a determined but calm Calvert Hall five. Wfayne Hopf, the Maryland state champion, led the team with a near perfect record. Following closely behind Hopf were Joe Spangler, Denny Moore, Captain Charlie Scheid, Scott Parrish, Mike Sandler and Co-captain Elmer Goodrich. Every man on the squad had an average score of better than 90. This is very remarkable for a high school team. Coach VVebster, no mediocre rifleman himself, has high hopes for next year's aggregation, in view of the number of returning lettermen. Wayne Hopf and Scott Parrish, along with Denny Moore and Mike Sandler, are slated to be the nucleus of the 1956 rifle crew. 50 A X1 ,,. ,V UW ,l,.:f,,.'- i -A ,,. A fgsy., mf sf Q . .

FENC NG Poly's varsity fencing team beat City two out of three matches to capture the Maryland Scho- lastic Championship. There were only two high schools in fencing competition this year, but next year Patterson, Southern, and Forest Park may join Poly and City. In the first match Tech defeated City by a score of 6 to 3. Captain Bill Yates won two bouts and lost one, and Don Cannata repeated his feat. VVoodrow Wilson and Bob Wisch each scored another point for Tech. The foilmen ran into some hard luck in the second clash when City out-pointed them by the same score that Poly beat them in the previous match, 6-3. Bill Yates took all three in his bouts to provide all of Po1y's points. Bill was by far the best fencer on the squad. He won eight out of nine bouts this year and was su- perior to anyone that City could put against him. He also won a gold medal for first place in a City Wide Competition. The squad came back and beat our arch rivals from the hill by an identical score as the first match. Bill Yates again won all three of his bouts while Don Cannatta won two and Woody VVilson took one. Ron Cannatta, Don's brother and Norman Corrieri also fenced for Poly during the season. Both Don and Ron Cannatta are coming back next year, and with Wilson, who will be around until February, they are .expected to be the mainstays of the team. john Logis, William Foody and Bruce Young are V. boys who are expected to make good also. Mr. Sheff, fencing mentor, predicted that more interest will be shown next year and that Tech will have an- other line team. fs, Q. XX, f Q' .W in lxt 1'0Tl', I.. lo R.: D. Whitfield, R.

Fckles, Mr. joffe, BOWLING Competition was at its keenest this year when the '55 bowling league began, as all the teams were anxious to take the crown. The first round started with great talent and enthusiasm among the mem- bers. Striving to attain the first round, the mem- bers of Poly's team tallied up a great number of pins against their opponents. Mfhen they chal- lenged Mt. St. Joe, a great battle was fought. First a tie developed, then after rolling off, another tie occurred. Finally, however, the Tech men came through to win by live pins. As the second round began, the Tech team was determined to win every game. Mr. Joffe, Poly's coach, noticed this determination and was well aware of the impending danger that his team was to meet. In this round the team beat Southern, Loyola, and Nlervo Tech. After having tallied against City, Calvert Hall, and Patterson, there remained only the game with Mervo. In this match the Techmen started to score strikes and spares one after another to beat Mervo pitifully. Great sportsmanship and keen competition was displayed on the part of both teams. Poly's leading hurlers - Serp, Wliitfield, and Xfvendling - did a magnificent job. They dis- played great ability and effort in proving them- selves to be Poly's most valuable assets on the team. This year, Mr. !Ioffe's second in the role of coach, was one of the best in Tech's bowling history, as an individual game record was made by Leizer who hit 175. Mr. joffe is looking forward to next year's season and expects a better team than he had this past year. lsl row, I.. to R.: J. Bartolowmayo B.

They compiled five wins against seven losses this year, as compared with the previous season's public school championship. The season's opener found Tech visiting Severn School at Severna Park. The boys from Annapolis were stunned by a versatile Engineer ten that scored 17 goals while allowing their antagonists a mere 7 tallies. However, at Friends School and Gilman Country School we were overwhelmed by 14 to 4 and 15 to 6 scores respectively. The Public School League opener against Forest Park was a happy one for Poly. Led by midfielder Dick Lang, who scored 3 goals, we triumphed barely in double overtime by 10 to 9. Jerry Thelen of Patterson sparked his mates to victory as they came from behind in the second overtime session to down Poly, 8 to 7. The Engineers were ahead with but a minute remaining when two crucial goals by Thelen decided the Tilt. Journeying to McDonogh, Poly was victorious in a non-league skirmish. The Cadets were stumped by an 8 to 4 decision, as even defenseman Freddie Kern tallied on an empty goal. The bitter rivalry between Poly and City was resumed as the lacrossers clashed on City's field. Although Harry Weitzel and Roger Goss both dented the goal twice, it was Roger Klaesius who tallied the deciding marker on a long low shot from midfield. All championship- hopes for Lon Russ' Engineers were faded as we lost two quick contests to Southern and Forest Park. Both encounters, incidentally, were closely fought, the scores being 9 to 8 and 7 to 6 respectively. Poly took vengeance at Clifton Park, against a Patterson squad which had previously beaten Tech. The Techmen triumphed 15 to 6 with Weitzel and Stansbury each scoring 4 times. The season ended with a 13 to 3 loss to City, and a 7 to 6 loss to Southern. The brunt of our scoring this year was carried by attackmen Goss and 1Veitzel, who tallied in practically every session. Ably assisting these two boys in the scoring columns were midfielders Dick Lang, Herman Hannan, Roger featured Fred Kern, Dick Scarbath, and Charlie Beinkampen, who were backed up by Jim Gilstrap, Jim London, and Mike Meredith. J Trent Colt and Bill Carroll, two capable goalies, performed with consistent F ' ' I ability and hustle the whole campaign long. Both boys are veterans and will return next year, making net tender one of our stronger positions. 53 Bill Carroll stops Ross Ripp1e's hard shot.

After losing every member of last year's M. S. A. championship team, Poly started with a young team consisting mostly of freshman and sophomores in an effort to build another fine team for the future. With the exper- ience which these gained from their play they should well represent Poly boys during the next several seasons. Poly started the season by losing to Isoyola, then bounced back to defeat Towson Catholic in a match which surprised the experts. Next they met our traditional rival, City, and went down to ig- nominious defeat. Keeping the old Poly fight, the team sooundly thumped Calvert Hall only to lose the next two matches to Forest Park and Mount St. joe. The season finished with wins over Mervo and Park Schools. In the M. S. A. individual golf championship, Poly placed two entrants in the first round, Ron Cullen and Gus Novotny. Novotny reached the quarterfinals where he was defeated in a heart- breaking match in which he lost on the last hole. Q , j . lst row, L. to R.: J. Lowndes, M. Fleming, M. Cornish, B. Dawson, J.

A. competition, Poly's tracknien dominated the individual champion- ship and defeated all other teams. This year Tech had six first and three second places. They also broke two M. S. A. records and tied another. Fred March was clocked in 50.0 seconds to set a new record in the 440 and Mike Fleming had a l:54:8 time in the trials to set a new record for the 880. The Engineer mile relay team of Ray Kettche, John Lowndes, Mike Fleming and anchorman Fred March, tied the old record in the best race of the day. Milt Cornish carried the torch for Tech in the field events by copping both the high jump and broad jump. Just behind Cornish in the broad jump was John Horn, while in the fourth place was Bill Lucas. Poly's final champ was Charlie Fleming, who took the mile test in 4:37:5. Close behind Charlie were Bob Kennedy, third, and Emory Brown, fourth. Lowndes placed second in the 440 behind March, Kaz Taylor placed fifth in the 880, Bob Dawson ran second in the 180 low hurdles, Roy Moffet took a fifth in the 220, and Jack Sheridan threw his way into a fourth place in the shot put to end Poly's scoring. The boys who scored for Tech in the championship were the ones who carried Poly through the season, but Roger Schultz, Joe Zeuch, Ted Carmen, Les Palmer, Russ Klages, Bob Owens, and Dick Fouse helped the team immensely during the regular season. 5 - V-,ww ,,,, , . , 1-V A - ff 5 5.w:7u,f 5gJ5f.,.ifV,,!., J f.z,,,Wy?f7f,f,Wi,,,jL . , ,.,.r .Ab I., ,.,.. .f, , , ' ,, .. y . f r aa., f if! t T' 43...

A. champion- ship in 1953, the team has been on a gradual uphill climb to regain that crown. With all but one letterman returning, our next year's prospects seem very qualified. The spring campaign of '55 was not an unsuccessful one for I'oly's racqueteers. With an overall mark of six wins and five losses, and a league record of five wins and four losses, they placed fifth out of ten squads in the final team standings. Although our netmen were outclassed by a quartet of leading competitors, they did triumph in two decisive matches for which they had been aiming. These significant contests were with Friends School and Loyola High of Blakefield. In the former encounter, Tech emerged the victor by a 4 to 3 countg the latter match found the Poly boys stopping Loyola's Dons, 5 to 2. Highlighting the court competition were three shutout victories by the Engineers, in which they swept all five singles and both double matches. These conflicts were at the ex- pense of Patterson, Mervo, and Southern. On the other hand, our rivals from City blanked us in a lone tennis fray. The freshmen of johns Hopkins fell before the strokes of such boys as Tom Boote, Ralph Levin, Dick jenkins, and Bill Hawes, as we stole a tight decision from the Blue Jays by a 5 to fl score. The college tennis requirement is for six single and three double matches, whereas the high school ratio is only five to two. Leading our netmen as number one man was Tom Boote, a junior whose consistent smooth tennis proved invaluable to his coach and to his school. Immediately behind him in sec- ond position was Ralph Levin. Ralph, who possesses a boom- ing service, is our only graduating letterman. Spots three and four were held by underclassmen Bill Hawes and Dick Jen- kins respectively. These boys were mainstays in the attack and should prove fatal to next season's opponents. Dennis Eichhorn and Leroy Fosler alternated in the number five slot. The seventh man was Vito Penkiunas and Paul Williams an- chored the squad. Poly's future court aspirations can be fulfilled if our re- turning lettermen improve their play in the least, and if Coach Bader turns in his usual efficient job as mentor. -4, 1. ,,...e NS' , , , ea 4 ,f lst row, L. to R.: J.

BASEBALL Coach Bob Lumsden's varsity baseball team lost only two games in public school competition to take its twelfth P. S. Championship in thirteen years. A loss to Patterson and one to City kept the team from posting a perfect log in division play. The loss to City was the third loss in 26 games with that team. In the playoff series for the Maryland Scholastic Championship, Poly won the first game, 7 to 5 The second contest was forced into extra innings, however Poly went down, 7 to 4, on a number of errors. The last tilt of the series was lost by a disheartening 5 to l. Coach Lumsden declared that the Foote-Silbersack keystone combination was one of the finest shortstop-second base duos that the M. S. A. has seen in quite some time. Mr. Lumsden also spoke highly of the defensive playing of catch- ers W'ill Henderson and Don Gafney, third baseman Dick Lepson, and outfielder Bill Chamberlin. In the pitching department, diminutive Howie Becraft stood out with a 10 and 1 record. Backing up Howie were fielder-pitchers Tom Quaranta, 6 and 1, and Lee Frazier, 1 and l. Frazier and Quaranta, along with third sacker Dick Lepson, shared hitting honors, each batting close to 550. Lep- son had undisputed control over the R. B. I. department. Other strong hitters were shortstop Bunky Foote and first base- man Leo Watts. Hitting, according to Coach Lumsden, was the team's weakest spot. Hopes for the coming season don't appear to be very good at all. Coach Lumsden said that in spite of a champion ship junior varsity and several outstanding underclassmen varsity returnees. The coming campai n will b 't d'ff' 1 g equie 1 1cu t. Some of the brighter prospects returning to bolster the '56 Tech nine are outfielder Dick Stack, first sacker Leo Watts, and catcher Don Gaffney, Shortstop Bucky Foote tries to get a much needed hit during the last game of the championship series. 57 . , - .

X .R X PR UJECTION CLUB Mm Furla if ,MMI The Projectionist Club of Poly is one of the outstanding service clubs of the school. Projectionists are furnished for teachers to show films and also for special school events. The success of the Poly-City Pep Rally was increased by the show- ing of several films by the Club. The Projectionist Club also furnishes projectionists to show after-school movies for school clubs. In addition to rendering a great service to the school, the Club endeavors to teach its members the operation of differ- ent types of motion picture projectors. In the past year, the Projectionist Club has taken a field trip to the Northwood Thea- ter, where its members had the privilege of inspecting the modern facilities of that theater. FRENC CLUB V . C M ff v This Jast year the Cercle Francais has done something that has not been done .in previous years. l lt conducted a course in French conversation for its members, using a new book especially suited for the Cluljls purposes. Following the precedent set forth the preceding year, the Club presented an excellent skit, in French of course, about a Poly boy at a French-speaking college. Also, as would be expected, French his- tory and culture were emphasized. 62 RA I0 CLUB P I Q Q Q 0 1 L22 111111101 if Q I , '11f- This year, the Radio Club started its activities with a tour through the studios of 'VVMAR-TV. Some of the Club's 16 ham operators made contacts by shortwave radio with hams in other countries, such as Cuba, the Bermuda Islands, and Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia in Canada. The Club also participated in activities dealing with Field Day. Code classes, theory talks, and demonstrations have also been part of its activities, In the future, the Club hopes to visit another broadcasting station, have some displays, and, if possi- ble, give another assembly. U TUMOBILE C L UB This Club is made up of a group of boys who want to know more about the automobile, its operation, mechanical features, economy, and safety. Among its activities are visits to automobile establishments and the use of film strips, movies, and illustrated lectures - all initiated by the members. 63 LIBRAR Y CLUB fig ,I l 7:.?H V -..ia V: dw. 'i Pi 1 Q 5 i 1 H The Library Club, whose members hold various clerical positions in the library, acts as a service club to the school. This year the interest in library work brought about an enrollment of fifty members. Under the leadership of Dave Ander- son, Bob Finke, and Larry Lennon, the club matches its standards with those of the Maryland Association of High School Assistance. It selects a member to serve on the board of You're The Critic. During the Christmas holidays the Club en- tertained guest library club members from other schools. Mrs, Atwood, the librarian, attests to the importance of the Club's work by stating that, in the past, many Poly boys have been able to secure library jobs at either the Enoch Pratt Library or their college libraries. POL Y AER UNEERX EK The Poly Aeroneers were very successful during the past year. As in previous years, many flying sessions were held at Leakin Park, the city's model flying field. At the meetings this year, however, a greater amount of the time was devoted to theory than in previous ones. A variety of designs, such as deltas, flying wings, and flying sau- ers were discussed by the members Around March most of the licensed pilots of the Academy of Model Aeronautics C , K 1 . s . rushed to build or rework their planes to conform to the new A.M.A. rules for the coming contest season. Needless to sav, the contest and the sport flyers of the Club are looking forward to a happy summer. 64 MUDEL RAILROAD CLUB mi.. l ffm ,,,,,,,,,,w Y The Model Railroad Club, having been inactive for a number of years, was reorganized in September of l953. Since then, it has grown tremendously. A model railroader's paradise is in the making in the club room on the fifth floor of Poly. There, a visitor will find on Tuesday fifty boys hard at work on two layouts, one HO and the other O , representing the two IHOSE popular gauges in the hobby. The Club has had many special features, among which have been films, trips to the various railroads around town, and contests. The Club's chief aim is to promote the hobby at Poly. UNITED NATIO X CLUB hX, The Polytechnic United Nations Club is part of a national organization of youth who wish to work for better understanding among the various peoples of the world. The Poly U.N. Club has taken Part in the United Nations Exposition at the Fifth Regiment Armory, and in the annual pilgrimage to the United Nations Building in New York. Each month, through the auspices of the United Nations Association of Maryland, a program is pre- sented lor high school students, in this program the Poly Club has taken an active part. Each member of the Poly Club assumes the responsibility of keeping his fellow members aware of the activities ol the United Na, tions and its member countries. 65 MA CHINIX T CLUB The Machinist Club, sponsored by Mr. Otto, has as its objective a better understanding of machining operations lor its members. The Club works in the shop and obtains further knowledge of this industrial operation by means ol' films and tours of industry. This year the shop work included both individual and group projects, such as the maintenance and repair of several lathes, and tours of the Bendix machine shops and the Novelty Steam Boiler Wforks. XPOR TXMEN CLUB 4 The Sportsmen Club, one of Poly's largest, with over 100 members, was founded in the interest of studying and further- ing conservation and wildlife. The members attend lectures, make displays, go on field trips, and actually work on projects devoted to the promotion of conservation. During the past year, the Club helped the State of Maryland with many of these conservation projects. Thus, the Sportsmen Club is active in leading the drive for preserving our national resources, so that we all may enjoy a better and stronger America in the years to come. 66 XC ENCE CLUB Z4 If More has been accomplished this past year than ever before. The Club bought a Geiger-Meuller Counter and conducted a series of experiments in atomic energy as outlined in an annual put out by the Atomic Energy Commission. The Counter, of course, is an instrument that can be used in the future years also. A linear accelerator started byaformer member was continued. As usual, the members were encouraged to perform individual experiments before the club. Several intresting trips were also made. XHERING C UB WW' ,.., I , V --A The Ushering Club was organized this past year by Mr. R. L. Smith for the purpose of ushering at special events. This task used to be handled by boys who volunteered for each occasion. The members are trained how to do the job and do it well. Awards are based on the number of times a member has ushered. This Club is one of the outspoken clubs in the school - always telling people where to go. 67 Wm STA GECRAFT CLUB Q53 though small as far as clubs are con- cerned, is a highly coordinated and ef- ficient group. Receiving no applause for their efforts, the members of the Club, under the guidance of Mr. Otto, do their best to give Poly's as- sembly programs the professional touch. The Club's excellent services, which generally consist of the operation of lights, curtains, sound, and building sets, are not limited to Polytechnic as- semblies, however, since they are often needed at conventions, movies, and lec- tures held in Poly's auditorium. BUARD STUDENT ACTI VITIEX r--.f'e The BSA. has once again served Poly in its little or no publicity, this small but efficient group, sponsible lor the proper functioning of Poly s clubs. non-athletic, extra-curricular activities for Poly is no work exceptionally well. Thus, we all owe a debt 0 g WF, ZX I . unfailing and tireless manner. Behind the scenes and with under the guidance of Mr: Hoskins, has been largely re- Taking care of the financial and recording end of all the small task, but the B.S.A. has, as always, performed its f ratitude to the HSA. for its fine work. 68 The Polytechnic Stagecraft Club, TUMBL ING CLUB The Tumbling Club, though it has just been organized, promises to be- come very popular. Under the lead- ership of its adviser, Mr. Epstein, the Club provides facilities and instruction for boys interested in tumbling and gymnastics. The past year the Tum- bling Club did tumbling skits in both the Christmas play and the Poly Follies. The Club's purpose is not to develop boys for team competition, but to en- able them to participate in an extra- curricular activity which is of interest to them and helps to develop their bodies. HISTURICAL X OCIE TY The Polytechnic Historical Society attempts to develop in its members an appreciation of the his torical background of their country city and state A tile ol current material ol historical significance was established. The Club's program included a tour ol the Maryland Historical Society a trip to the Indian exhibit at the Maryland Academy of Sciences a visit to the XValters Art Gallery a tour oi the Flaa House a day trip to Xflfashington, D. C., and two illustrated lectures MAGIC C UB 4 UUDCAR VING CL UB The XVOodcarving Club, lirst organized to provide Poly boys with the means of increasing their knowledge of and experi- ence in the art ol woodcarving, has been quite successful in the pursuit of this pur- pose. By first hearing instructions on the use of instruments such as chisels, gouges, knives, and power tools, and then working them, the members of the Club followed the well-known Poly method of combining theory and practice. Members worked on projects of their own choosing, increasing their experience and ability to produce fine examples of the art of woodcarving. As one might expect, there are bound to be unique clubs at a large school such as Poly. The Magic Club certainly is one of 'those clubs. This troupe is advised by Mr. R. L. Smith. The prestidigitators experi- ment with and perfect new magic card tricks. They also discuss and analyze great sleight-of-hand stunts. The club is small but hopes to expand in the future. .YALEX ENGINEERING CL UB Xt ,ik The Sales Engineering Club is one which explains and opens up the new and tech- nical field of selling ideas. The members meet to discuss all phases of this very broad topic. Prominent men in and around Bal- timore come to speak to the Club. The Club also studies machine ideas, progress, and people. METALLURG Y CLUB One of the oldest extra-curricular ac- tivities at Poly is the Metallurgy Club. Every Friday morning, the members gather in the foundry to learn and use the funda- mentals of foundry practices. Out of brass and aluminum, the members make objects which have permanence and beau- ty. A new furnace was recently acquired by the Club. This valuable addition has been put into immediate service and is helping the Club to turn out better work. HI-Y CLUB fu AQUARIA cw Both phases of aquaculture interest the Aquaria Club. The members discuss the breeding, habits, waters, and diets of trop- ical fish. The other phase, the practical side of raising fish in aquariums is also discussed. The Club has its own breeding tanks. To add variety, the members view slides and movies and take trips. Intra- club contests are held to see which mem- ber can raise the finest specimens. 11514 ,1.,. ' To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian living - this is the aim of the Hi-Y Club. Under the guidance of Mr. Hargett, the club has been quite successful in pursuing this pur- pose. One of the Club's many activities has been the collection of Christmas gifts for mental patients. Also, the Club was represented at the statewide convention of I-Ii-Y Organizations held at Hagerstown in December, and at the Youth in Govern- ment convention in Annapolis in the spring. XENA TE DEBA TING CLUB K' ---h..,., The members of the Senate Debating Club proudly represent their school, not only in interschool de- bates, but in oratorical contests as well. Moreover, the members themselves gain much by their activities. They learn how to formulate their ideas into hard, sound reasoning and how to present these ideas effectively. They learn parliamentary procedure, which is adhered to at all meetings and debates. Probably the greatest gain for most members is the acquiring of confidence, poise, and self-assurance. MA THEMA TIC X CLUB l l 1 l The lNIathematics Club was formed several years ago so that Polytechnic students interested in advanced topics in mathematics might further their study. Since its formation the club has studied such fields as transfinite arithmetic, groups, symbolic logic, and the theory of computing ma- chines, as well as certain classical problems of Greek Geometry. 72 XTAMP AND CUIN CLUB Besides being one of the oldest clubs at Poly, the Stamp and Coin Club is among the oldest such organizations in high schools throughout the country. Its purpose is to provide the philatelists and numismatists of Poly an opportunity to meet and discuss their favorite subjects, which are, naturally, stamps and coins. At the meetings the members both hear and give talks on stamps and coins, their histories, and their oddities. The big events of the year are the exhibits, at which prizes are awarded, and the auctions. METAL CRAFT CLUB Under the excellent direction ot Mr. Longley, the Metalcraft Club's activities are so planned as-to help develop creativeness and skill in working with metal. lt is both interesting and sur- prising to see the work done by the Club members as they touch upon the mechanic as well as the HIIISUC end ol working with sheet metal, their main material, and other supplies. 73 CAMERA CL UB This year the Club has continued its usually good program of activities. Instructive lectures by the members themselves were given almost every week, field excursions were taken occasionally, and contests were held. The Club's darkroom should be a pride to the whole school. Although the facilities of the new dark- room were fairly incomplete, precedents set in the past years were followed to the extent that some more im- provements were made, a ventilation fan, a larger sink, etc. Cash prizes were given in the main contest, some of the pictures from which showed merit. The Club was well organized this year being run by competent officers under the guidance of Mr. Sauer. Several members, as usual, served photographically on the staff of the Press and Cracker. ART CLUB ilk The Art Club at Poly, which has been in existence only four years, has taken upon itself many responsibilities in the never ending task of enriching Polytechnic with posters and displays of all types. The Club provides an opportu- nity for Poly boys with a flare for art to express themselves in an artisticway, with the proper equipment and guid- ance. The Art Club not only helps its members to undertake various projects, but has been displaying IIS attractive work throughout the building. This year the Club, by taking charge of posting all announcements 1.I1 the first floor display cases, has helped create an improved and aesthetic appearance. The Art Club is fast becoming one of Poly s most outstanding activities. 74 HILLBILL Y BAND Although it was first organized solely for the Poly Follies, the Hillbilly Band has now become a permanent member of the Board of Student Activities. Under the guidance of Mr. Miller, the Band took an active part in the Christmas Play and the Poly Follies. In addition, the members of the Band displayed their talent to other audiences through- out the city. Looking forward to a larger organization in the future, the Band is plan- ning a record library and a school assembly with a guest artist. CHESS CLUB K Only the words very .successful could be employed to describe the Chess Club's recent season. Under the ad- visorship of Mr. Rudasill, the Club, while celebrating its 50th birthday, participated in a wide range of activities. During the year chess magazines and chess talks were given in order that the many members would have an increased knowledge of chess. The Poly Chess Team again participated in the interscholastic league with City and For- est Park. As before it was an aggregation of the top players in the club. The team also matched Eastern in a tourna- ment, something that has never been done before. Of course this was to the chess team's delight. Now that Poly's oldest club has reached the half-century, it can look back over the years with rightful pride and to the future with enthusiasm. 75 PDL Y CRAFTXMEN ps ru its T .thrill The Craftsmen Club is designed to repair equipment around the school. It is comprised of boys who derive a pleasure from keeping their school in good condition. Almost any afternoon one can find the crafts- men repairing desks and chairs, putting up bulletin boards, and making shelves. The club is literally an or- ganization of handymen. lt is one of the most appreciated at Poly. SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club strives to promote a better understanding of the ancient Spanish or His- panic civilization and culture by affiliating itself with the Hispanic Institute. Through this Institute the Club is able to obtain very helpful material. The Club also celebrates appropriately certain annual Spanish events. The 'iFiesta de la Lengua Espanola is observed on the 23rd of April each year, when each member writes a composition on Miguel de Cerventes, one of the greatest writers in literary history. The essays are then judged, and the winner receives a bronze medal and certificate. 76 W 1 X 5 COL OR GUARD l . 1 1 1 n A ' turret l l i -Me One ofthe institutions which has served Poly well is the Color Guard. The function of the Color Guard is to present the colors at every football game played at the Memorial Stadium, to present the colors on Veterans Day and at any other designated assembly, and, of late, to participate in the Poly Follies as a drill team. It is composed of boys who are willing to work long and hard to obtain precision in marching. Cer- tainly Poly is indebted to the Color Guard for its outstanding work. GERMAN CLUB 4 i ' ..-1' The German Club is the most recently formed of the language clubs. Several meetings were held in 1953-54. In the fall of 1954 officers were elected and speakers were obtained who were born in Germany or who lived under German rule. Members of the Club learned to sing German songs and listened to German Lingua- phone records. Since many of the citizens of Baltimore are of German origin, the Club wishes to learn more of the former Germany - its civilization and its contribution to American culture. 77 C EERLEADERX f-' 'fa,,.v,a, QI' glfj w K gil' In ' ' f 5 li Li. -in 'I , ' - Q f . , .1 'X if' , ' f' . fu ,' ' -Uma 2 , , 5- . ,, 1 .

Poly has al- ways been proud of its cheering spirit and conduct at football games, This can largely be attributed to the ef- forts of the cheerleaders. They kept the spirit up at the games and put spunk in the pep assemblies. Our cheer- leaders showed ingenuity last year by being a step ahead of the other schools with signs announcing the cheer. For the first time cheerleading was extended to cover sports other than football. The school is greatly indebted for this year-round spirit rendered by the cheerleaders. GLEE CLUB The Glee Club made its debut under its new and able director, Mr. Frey, at the Armistice Day exercises. Increasing in numbers as well as ability, the Club participated at Christmas assemblies for both Mfestern and Poly, and later in the spring took part in the High School Music Festival. After performing well, as usual, in the Poly Follies, the Glee Club is looking forward to the time when it can present its selections to new audiences in and around the city. 78 AXTRUNOMY CLUB mfflflfyfy U3 The Astronomy Club, under the capable supervision of Mr. M. Jastrow Levin, was formed in order to make a detailed study of the universe and the many secrets it contains. This Club, organized in 1953, was greeted with instant response from the students and has continued to enjoy this popularity throughout its existence. The members of the Club hold many interesting discus- sions concerning the universe, and various absorbing reports are given at each meeting. The Club also at- tends many lectures and activities other than those connected with the school. The members are now in the midst of reviewing plans for building a small planetarium, ARCHING B ND 1 -, l 3 I ..-.... v 1 1 t. ..-.rf . ' ' G , Mm- , -, J- -' ' MWC .1 ENS' s Thanksgiving Day proved that the Poly Marching Band of 19541 was indeed a success. Under the direc- tion of the new music instructor, Mr. Fred R. Frey, the Band progressed with amazing rapidity until reaching its climax in late fall. Performances included those at the football games, pep rallies, and advance showings to those who were fortunate enough to be lining the campus at eight o'clock in the morning. Also, not to be forgotten was the line contribution the Band made at the Armistice Day ceremonies. The Band hopes to pura chase additional uniforms in the near future. 79 MVIS: we yi JUL, Qfmlhlllllllpu U K We F5 C! IE-EE.. ? 595, QQ, Z x W mf v a- V 3 ' N i?,- A -Q nu. Q , qv 1? .
