Linger Longer, Letty HLINGER LONGER, LETTY,U the play pre- sented by the members of the june gradu- ating class, was a huge success, both finan- cially and artistically. The play was pre- sented on March 20 and 21, and played to two full houses at the Washingtoii High School auditorium. The feminine members of the cast who were selected from Mrs. Bess Whitcomb's dramatic classes, are, in a sense, responsible for the success of the play. All the girls except Miss Virginia Bailey, who played the part of Mayme',, the beautiful young widow, had had experience in other class plays. Miss Helen Lee Grant played the part of Letty, and was the 'fhit of the play. Miss Grant deserves a great deal of praise for the excellent manner in which she played her unusual part. Miss Grant was assistant coach for Clarence, the dramatic produc- tion of the last graduating class. Mrs. Brewster was characterized by Miss Claudia Serasanous, who helped with the coaching of Jack Strawn, NVashington's last class play. Miss Helen Scott, who took the part of i'Nancy , may be remembered from Clarence , in which she lived the part of HCora Wheeleru. The cast is grateful to Mrs. Whitcomb for the hours of persistent drilling of six inexperienced boys, to prepare them to as- sume the various roles of the play. jack Clark was the hero of the produc- tion, and played up very well.

Potts took his part well and deserves credit for his acting. Frank Davenport played the part of Colonel XVells, the jovial officer, to per- fection. Merrick Bradford was a great success in the character role of Lazele, the French dressmaker. This was the liveliest male part in the play. James Hoyt did well in his representation of Mr. Larkin, the irritable old father. Gerald Cunliff was not only prompter and butler, but took some feminine parts during the afternoon rehearsals, when the girls could not be there. Linger Longer. Letty is a war-time play in which the plot centers around Letty and Jim. Letty is the Cinderella of the Larkin family, and Jim is a long, lanky sailor, just returned from active service. Mrs. Brewster enters in search of her son, and encounters Nancy. They have a short conversation about Mrs. Brewster's brothers, Jim and VValter. Mr. Larkin rushes into the scene, condemning a bow- tie, and looking for Letty. She responds from the cellar, and appears in a relic of a bathing suit, carrying an ice cream freezer. jim is in love with Nancy, as is Wfalter, and Letty is in love with NValter, but she wouldn't have Jim on a bet . .lim and Letty decide to change matters. She tells him all of his characteristics which are displeasing to women, and Jim tells her of the things which would make her more pleasing to men. The effect is magnetic. Jim obtains some new clothes, and Letty sends to New York for the fa- mous modiste to make her some new gowns. The situation changes. VValter falls CF 30 The Poly Tech for June 1925 W5 Bass WHITCOMB deeply in love with Letty, and Nancy for jim. jim and Letty, however, have devel- oped a weakness for each other, and they decide to tie the knot and let the rest of the world go by. Nancy and Wfalter follow suit. Lazelle's affections are drawn to Mayme, the widow, whom he wins. This not being enough, Mrs. Brewster proposes to Mr. Larkin, who accepts, to keep from starving to death, as his daugh- ter, Letty, has deserted the kitchen to take up the role of vampire.

Edwards N . mx Be-nson Polytechnic School -T52 Executive Board THE business of the Benson Tech student body is managed by the executive board, a group of students elected by the student body and representing the student body in business transactions. The president, vice-president, secretary treasurer, and technical and vocational rep- resentatives, all of whom are elected at the general student body elections at the end of each term, are members of the executive board, and have equal rights and power in all business. Student body business is taken up at the meetings of the executive board, which are usually held every other Tuesday evening, in the north end of the Library. Such mat- ters as appropriations of money, purchase of needed supplies for athletics, the clubs, the radio station, and other needs, the awarding of monograms, numerals, and letters, adopting of constitutions for new student body organizations, and many other matters of business, receive action at the meetings. Parliamentary rules of order are strictly followed during meetings, and any student who is elected to office on the board is in- deed fortunate becauseof the excellent train- ing in parliamentary practice which he re- ceives. At times subjects of importance, and on which the opinions are divided, must come to the attention of the board. The debates which follow are fiery, and the arguments are all brought out and aired before a decision is reached. No doubt, if the members of the student body knew of all the interesting topics discussed at the board meetings, the library would be fairly well Filled 'with listeners on meeting nights. Visitors .are inviied to the meetings. Expenses of the athletic teams are taken care offby the executive board, in order that the students who turn out for athletics may derive greater benefits from athletics, and in order that Benson may operate the vari- ous athletic teams more successfully. If a team has the hard luck to go in the holev so far as finance is concerned, the executive board is usually there to make up the dif- ference. Eachi member of the board represents about fifty members of the student body. The technical students, at the time of elec- tion, vote for fifteen representatives, who are also technical students. The vocational students elect one or more representatives from a list of candidates from their own de- partment of the school, Each member of the board, therefore, is obligated to the student body, and must fulfill his duty in a most conscientious manner. Business is carried on under the adviser- ship of Mr. H. H. Parson, who also takes care of the money of the student body. The federal board room has for some time been used by the executive board, and the min- utemen make this their headquarters. The greatest student body activity of the year, of course, is the great Benson Tech Show, which brings thousands of Port- landers to view the shops and departments, and the work which is turned out by the students. The income from the Benson Tech Show helps increase the funds of the student body. , .,,, M., ...N TECH PEP STAFF Front Row: W. Daly, E. Sherman, F. Gunrnero, C. Coghlan, F. VVag2nkuecht, M.

Edwards M WU aw Benson Polytechnic School 3: The Tech Pep IN order to lill the demand for date school newspaper at Benson, the Tech Pep has operated for some time. an up-to- has been no doubt The history of the newspaper long and interesting, but it is known to most Bensonites, and told in detail here. The paper started with a small, three-column sheet, and since then has umped to a five-column, and then to a need not seven-column size. The last jump was the biggest, and it has taken some time to estab- lish the paper on such a big proportion. The news is here, however, and all that is nec- essary in the publication of the seven-col- umn paper is a bit of co-operation on the part of the students. i The editor and manager of the Tech Pep are chosen by a committee including the head of the printing department, the head of the English department, and the principal of the school. The remainder of the staff is chosen by the editor and the manager, with the advice and connsent of the faculty adviser. i During the past term the Tech Pep office has been located in the printing de- partment lecture room. The equipment con- sists of a large desk, with several drawers which really lock, two typewriters, two chairs, and several large piles of copy paper. The office apparently is busy all the time, for the staff is on hand at eight o'clock every morning to begin the dayls work, and itis usually at this time that the editor, seem- ingly without any conscience at all, passes out great piles of assignment slips to the members of the staff, who groan and say Well, T'll try to get it out on timef' Assign- ments are made to the various members 'of the staff, who get all the dope on the story to which they are assigned, and write it up in suitable form to hand in. They may use the Tech Pep typewriters if they wish. The Tech Pep reporter gains a great deal of experience which will be of some value to him no matter what line of work he may take up when the time comes for him to buy bacon and beans for his wife and kiddies. He learns to go after the thing he wants, knows where to find it, and gets it in on time-for it is much easier to get a story in on time than undergo discipline administered by various unscrupulous editors of the Tech Pep. There is always a chance for promotion. The student who works hard steps up into the bigger place. Of course, the natural characteristics and ability of the Tech Pep staff members have a great deal to do with the rapidity of pro- motion, but the main motto of the Tech Pep staff is VVORK. Due to the fact that the paper is published by students who are learning the trade of the printer, there are on many occasions, a number of errors in the type-setting and printing of the paper. The Tech Pep is of enormous value to the students of the print- ing department, however, and since all Ben- sonites are sufliciently intelligent to decipher the majority of type mix-ups which appear in the Tech Pep, Benson is quite fortunate in having a home-printed publication of this kind. The paper is exchanged for copies of the high school papers of many schools through- out the VV est, including several technical schools which are operated on the same plan as the Benson Polytechnic School. FIRE SQUAD mt- --fm Benson Polytechnic School 39 Fire Squad THE Benson Tech Fire Squad, one of the most important student body organizations, is perhaps one of the most active, as well, since the members are on the job every day, ready to do their part in case of a fire or drill, and take an active part in the reg'- ularly weekly fire drills, which are held in accordance with the rules of the city to safeguard life and property. The squad is re-organized at the begin- ning of every term, although its officers are elected at the end of each term. A meet- ing is held immediately after organization, in order to acquaint the new firemen with their duties, and encourage them all in the constant vigilance and search for fire haz- ards. Mr. Connolly, faculty adviser, is al- ways ready with suggestions and help for the squad. In case the squad fails to call a drill some time during a week, it must forfeit a small sum of money for its failure to do so. Ever since the organiza'ion of the squad, the once-a-week schedule has been main- tained without fail. During the fire drills, it is the work of the members of the squad to see that the students pass out orderly and quickly, close all windows and doors to prevent drafts which might add fury to a fire, prepare all hoses for immediate use, if necessary, and see that ALL the students get out of the buildings. There is at least one fireman in each room during every period of the day, and in the larger shops and depart- ments there are several. This wide distribu- tion of fire squad members insures peppy fire drills. Fire drills are called by the chzef, who is elected by the students at the end of each term, as are the assistant chief and batal- lion chiefs. The average time of clearing the build- ings is sixty seconds. This is very good time, when one takes into consideration the fact that before the students leave the shop, all power must be turned off the machines, and all lights must be turned off. In many cases, work must not be left without proper care, and this tends to slow up the action to quite an extent. There are a great many chances for fire in a school of the size and type of Benson, and for this reason, firemen are constantly looking for any improper situation which might be the cause of a fire. Improper wiring, oily rags, and many other hazards are reported to the chief as soon as dis- covered, and the chief disposes of them im- mediately. A request for a fire alarm box was put in by the fire squad during the past term. the box to be placed on the corner of Twelfth and Hoyt Streets. The Portland Fire Department put up the box on the day after the request was made, much to the pleasure of the Benson Department. On numerous occasions, members of the Portland Fire Department are visitors at the Benson Polytechnic School. They have made many favorable comments concerning the efficiency of the Benson fire squad, and the methods employed in carrying out the fire drills. 5 X Q , BAND Front Row: M Cole, M. DeLashmutt, H.

W Benson Polytechmc School 41 Benson Tech Band THE Benson Tech Band, often called the Tech Tooters in the columns of the Tech Pep, deserves a lot of credit for the fine service it has given on every occasion for which it is called. The band has always been ready to perform when called upon. Much credit is due Mr. Holden, faculty adviser. The band was first organized in 1914 when Benson Polytechnic students were en- rolled in the Portland School of Trades in the old Atkinson Building at Twelfth and Couch Streets. Mr. Coomber had charge of the organization of the band. From 1914 till 1917 Mr. Brereton, now instructor in Electric Theory, had charge of the musi- cians. The Benson Tech Band was the only school musical organization which took part in the 1914 Rose Festival. In 1916 the band took part in the Ford Fete in the ice hippo- drome. On numerous occasions the band has been called upon to play for outside or- ganizations and to take part in programs which had no connection with the School. In the fall of 1921 the members of the band needed uniforms, so the Benson Tech Store was started. The money was raised in one term, and the store remains to in- crease the income of the student body. Virgil Hicks is the leader of the band this year,, and he has spent a great deal of time and energy for the advancement of the organization. The band practices on Mon- day and Thursday evenings after school. Twenty-five members play in the band. at the present time. They are: Cornets, N. Fox, G. Davis. H. Briggs, M. De Lashmutt, M.

MINUTE MEN GN 525 F ' Benson Polytechnic School ia Minute Men BENSON,S salesmen, who distribute the wares of the student body to the various students and faculty members throughout the school, do a great service to the student body and they in turn are benefited greatly by the training in salesmanship which they receive during their term in office. At the beginning of each term. the stu- dents of the first period classes throughout the entire school elect from among them a minute man and a second man. These two officers represent that class in the minute men's organization and serve that class by providing tickets for the various activities of the school or graduating class. The federal board room is in charge of Mr. Halstead during the first period every day. Here he attends to all matters pertain- ing to tickets and ticket sales, and meets with the minute men whenever necessary. VVhenever the tickets for any activitv are to be put on sale, a call is issued by Mr. Halstead. and the minute men assemble in the federal board room during the first part of the first period. They are given their tickets, and a record is kept of them. All money from ticket sales is turned in to Mr. Halstead, Who, in turn, gives it to Mr. Parsons, treasurer of the student body. The minute men, wishing their organiz- ation to go abit farther than the mere work of selling the tickets, organize and have at least one social function each term. lt is the custom to hold a banquet at the end of the term, and listen to the addresses of men who know salesmanship. Due to the great amount of selling which the minute man must do in order to keep up with the activities, the work gives him very valuable training. He learns how to talk the student into buying what he has to sell, and he makes a study of the best way to persuade his listeners to buy. He gains experience as a speaker and is able to get on his feet in front of an audience. and remember Cvvhen his knees begin to shakej what he has to say. All this experience will be of great value to him some time in life, and the student who is elected to the office of minute man should consider him- self fortunate. ?' T The Poly Tech for Jzine 1925 TE The Benson THE Benson Tech Store constitutes one of the most important activities of the Benson Tech student bodyg the income from the sales go into the treasury of the student body. Although, as the old story goes, the candy stand was originated for the sole purpose of obtaining sufncient money to purchase uniforms for he members of the Benson Tech Band, the candy is still on sale, and it is as welcome to the students as are the profits to the student body. Candy lovers may satisfy their desires either at noon or after school. The stand is there with the goods every evening during the night school season, for the benent of the night school students. The Benson Tech store is operated by Tech Store volunteers of the student body. Although it is often the dream of the small boy to be some day a clerk behind a candy counter, life is not such a sugary dream to the sales- man behind this particular candy stand, for books are kept, and there must be enough money in the till every evening to pay for the candy which is sold during the day. Qne of the volunteer salesman is in charge of purchasing the candy while another has charge of the money. It has been the custom to make use of four students in the operation of the candy stand. Mr Holden. of the blacksmith shop, has charge of the stand as faculty adviser. The slogan, Patronize the candy stand is quite popular in the columns of the Tech Pep. ' 2 F- A W Benson Polytechnic School 45 Radio KFIF, the broadcasting station of the Ren- son Tech student body is again in operating condition after a period of silence, during which the transmitter was given a complete, thorough overhauling. The transmitter originally purchased by the student body was built by the North- west Radio Manufacturing Company of Portland, and was operated for some time by Willard P. Hawley, Ir., who employed the call letters KYG. At that time the transmitter was the most powerful one on the Pacific Coast, 'having been heard as far east as Pennsylvania, and west to the Hawaiian Islands. Since it was installed at the Benson Polytechnic School equal rec- ords have been established. According to reports from Alaskag: and Mexico, litfilfras been heard in these countries, and it has broken through where no other station in Portland had done so. The studio of the station is situated on the second floor of the Administration Building, at the north end, between Draw- ing Rooms 21 and 28. The apparatus is located in a smaller room adjoining the studio, making operation of the station very easy. After an appropriation of six hundred dollars has been made by the student body during the fall term, the remodeling of the set began, and an entirely new transmitter was planned. The set is now mounted on a larger panel, made of hard wood, handsomely finished, and is much more convenient for operation and ajustment. Five meters as well as all necessary swicthes, reostats, and controles, are mounted on the front of the panel. In the rear of the panel, four fifty- watt power tubes reside in as many sockets, KFIF and instruments such as ocsillation trans- formers, chokes. condensers, leaks, chopper, and many others, are arranged in cuch a manner that they will operate efficiently. The entire set is mounted on a table which has recently been added to the equipment of the operating room. Other apparatus includes a speech amplifier, two micro- phones, a battery charger to charge the many A and B batteries of the station, as well as much other miscellaneous equip- ment. A large motor-generator covers the floor directly under the table, and is mounted in such a manner as to be vibrationless. It furnishes over a thousand volts direct cur- rent, to supply the plate circuits of the 'pffifty-watt bottlesf' A The set, in its old form, used the Colpitts circuit, but since ii its rebuilding, a coupled Hartley circuit is employed, with Heising modulation. The antenna, which adds somewhat to the attractiveness of the school, is swung between two large steel towers, 112 feet above the ground. These towers are on the north and south ends of the Adminis- tration Building. Directly under the antenna, on a level with the roof, is the counterpoise. The antenna is of the in- verted L type, with a cage lead in. Under the call letters, KFIF, the station is licensed to transmit in the wave length of 248 meters. The student body also op- erates under the call letters 7XAD, when experimental work is carried on. A de- tailed account of all radio apparatus and circuits employed is required by the radio inspector of the seventh district every three months. 07'gJ!lZZ'ZdfZ'0iZ5 ARCHITECTURAL CLUB egs of A : I.

Fnwler SF - WJ Benson Polytechnic School tg Architectural Club THE Benson Architectural Club, which was orgganized on May 6, 1921, exists for the purpose of uniting its members in fellow- ship and combining their effors in order that the members, knowledge of the art of architecture may be developed and advanced to the best possible advantage. The membership standards of the club are good, as an architectural student who wishes to become a member must have a G grade, or higher, in drawing, and must have passing grades in all his other subjects. Each term a contest in drawing is held by the club, and two sets of prizes are given, the members being divided into groups, Fifth to eighth termers, and first to fourth termers. This term the contest committee selected a drawing with details enough to explain the drawing of a facade of a two story brick residence, drawn to a quarter scale..Al1 details must be drawn out at a three-quarter scale. Both divisions worked on this project, but two sets of prizes were to be awarded. The contest was scheduled to close April 25, in order that the drawings could be put on display at the Tech Show. The drawings were to be judged by several prominent Portland architects. The cabinet which was purchased by the club during the term of 1923 has proved to be very useful. In it are kept all the books and magazines purchased by the club from time to time. There are two drawers for the use of the secretary and treasurer. A committee is appointed to keep the cabinet and its contents in good order. The club will lose some of its most active members this term, when Albert Hilgers, Paul Bradley, and Earl Lawler are grad- uated. The roll of the club includes the names of Albert Hilgers, president 3 Paul Bradley, vice-president, Joaquin Baker, secretaryg E. Lawler, Nichols, E. VValch, H. McNeil, G. Cruikshank, H.

This club was not known as the Benson Tech Boosters until the school was moved to its present location. WVhen it changed its name, it reorganized, drew up a new constitution, and elected new officers. ln order to obtain membership in the or- ganization, the student must have the high- est quality of sportsmanship. and must be willing to do all he can for the good of the school. Every term the club holds an ex- citing initiation. By giving several dances during the term, the club helps to make the boys of the school better acquainted with each other. During the past term the club has held but one meeting, and that was for the elec- tion of officers. After this meeting most of the officers left school, and the club has not held a meeting since, due to lack of impor- tant business and to the fact that most of the members are out for some school activity. 6 CAMERA CLUB Front Row: R.

W ., - ee --Q .Benson Polytechnic School 53 Camera Club THE Camera Club, as its name suggests, is organized for the purpose of increasing the members' knowledge of the art of pho- tography and of making it possible for the boys to do their own developing and print- ing. The members participate in many hikes, which are the scenes of their activi- ties with the camera. The club has taken several trips this term, the places visited being Long Beach, Gov- ernment Camp and Lost Lake. Several other trips to various places of interest have been planned. These excursions are theo- retically for the purpose of studying pho- tography,but in reality it is the appeal of the outdoors and the good times about the camp fire that induce the members to strap on their packs and hit the trail. The trip to Lost Lake was by far the most interesting of the term. At the time the trip was made, the lake was frozen and covered with snow. Mount Hood in the background produced a beautiful effect. The trees were clad in a coat of snow, mak- ing it a true winter scene, although the trip was taken in the latter part of March. The clark room of the club is the scene of most of the club's activities. Here the members develop their rolls and make their prints and enlargements. The members furnish most of their own material for use in the dark room, while hypo, trays, ferro- typing boards, etc., are furnished by the club. During' the last term the students made exceptionally good use of the dark room, as is shown by the fact that over 40 rolls of film were developed and 667 prints and 121 enlargements were made. A very efficient enlarging camera fur- nished by the student body is in use by the club, and many beautiful and interesting en- largements have been made with it. The dark room inspector for the past term was Wfilliam OlNeal. His duty was to see that the dark room was kept clean and that no materials were lost. At the last Tech Show a very interesting exhibit of prints and enlargments was displayed in the Federal Board Room. Mr. Parcher is the faculty adviser of the club. He has had a great deal of experi- ence in photography and is therefore very capable of helping the members with their various photographic problems. The officers of the Camera Club for this term are Arthur Holmberg, presidentg foe Lampert, vice-presidentg Conrad Knutson, secretary, Foster Petty, treasurerg Emil Vtfandel, sergeant,-at-arms, and Ewart Cowls, publicity agent. Althoughithemmenibership of the club is limited toiiforty, openings can be made for students who are interested in photography. ! i GAS ENGINE CLUB Front Row: H. Peters, L. Edwards, K. Jones, D.

The club has grown to Z5 active mem- liers. Although it is yet engaged in per- fecting its organization, it promises to be a very active club next term. The officers of the club during the past term were Theodore P. Daniels, presidentg Lee Roy Edwards, vice-presidentg Harold De Rice, secretary-treasurer, and Harold Peters, sergeant-at-arms. Mr. I. R. Stair. is faculty adviser. Type Hi Club is the newest organizations, of the spring term of 1925. A few of the advanced stu- dents of the printing department, believing that an organization of this kind would aid the students in understanding and appre- ciating the finer qualities of good printing, enrolled a charter membership of ten and drew up a constitution which was submitted to and passed by the executive board. Mr. Athey was chosen as faculty adviser. Shortly after the club wastcrganized, five reiv members were admitted, making a total of fifteen, which is a full mevnbership. Recause of the low membership limit, the club has a large waiting list. ln order to become a member of the organization, a student must have a passing grade in all subjects and be an advanced student. He must also have a strong ambition to help the printing shop in any way possible. All members, upon graduating, are admitted as honorary members, retaining all the privileges of regular members. Regular meetings are held on Tuesday of each week, although special meetings may THE Type Hi Club, which of Benson's student body originated about the middle be called by the president for the purpose of discussing important matters. Any mem- ber absent from a meeting must hand a written excuse to the secretary, unless he has been previously excused by the presi- dent. Any member being absent without excuse from two successive meetings is dropped from the membership. The club has adopted the same plan as that of the Portland Club of Printing House Craftsmen, which is composed of shop owners and foremen. Their motto is l'Share Your Knowledge. and they fol- low this plan at their monthly meetings by discussing and helping each other in the various problems that arise in their trade. The motto of the Type Hi Club is Help Each Other, which is done at the weekly meetings. Several members will be lost in June by graduation, including A. Cole, R. Harvey, as post-graduatesg and T. Stirnweis and R. Fassnidge as vocationals. The roll of the club contains the names of A. Cole, C. Coghlan, R. Church, R. Fassnidge, R. Gannon, R. Harvey, V. Hus- ton, H. Lange, E. Reil, R. Rigotti, S. Schlesinger, T. Stirnweis, M. NValker, R. VVatSon, and E. VVandel. The officers dur- ing the past term were A. Cole, president, M. Xlfalker, vice-president: T.

WE Hi-Y ALTHOUGH the Hi Y Club is not strictly a school organization, its members belong to the Benson Tech student body. The club is supervised by the Young Men's Chris- tian Association, and meetings are held every Monday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Building. The members of the club were chosen from the student body because of their rec- ognized ability as leaders among their schoolmates. The object of the organization is to cre- ate, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community. Mr. Lawrence, who is a very prominent business man of the city, is the club adviser. He is assisted in his work by Mr. Tibbets, who is at present sec- retary of the Hi Y Advisers, Committee. The work of the Hi Y Club about the school has been very noticeable during the past term. The club has put up signs in- structing students to keep off the grass in places where a short cut is very tempting. A new coat of paint was given the rubbish cans about the halls by members of the club. An important social event of the past term was the farewell party given at the home of Mr. Lawrence in honor of the members who were graduating and leaving the club. The evening was spent in danc- ing and playing games, after which re- freshments were served. Another important event was the annual Seaside conference. At this conference all the clubs of the city were represented, the Benson club sending ten students. The various Hi Y clubs of the city left Portland on Friday, March 20, at noon, and returned the following Sunday. During the con- Club ference the problems which have been troubling the clubs during the past year were discussed, and some of the standing laws were remedied. Talks were given by the advisers and officials of the Hi Y clubs, who urged the boys to renew their efforts in carrying out the Hi Y objectives. An interesting event of the conference was the athletic meet which was staged on the beach, and in which all of the clubs partici- pated. The schools divided themselves into two different teams, which chose the names of O. A. C. and Oregon. After totaling up the points, it was found that the Oregon squad won by thirty points. Another event which is always enjoyed by the club members is the annual banquet which is given all the Portland clubs at the Multnomah Hotel by the Rotary Club. At these banquets, each Rotary Club member takes a Hi Y member, and they enjoy the banquet together. The banquet gives the boys an opportunity to meet and gain ad- vice from the business men of the city. The membership of the club is limited to twenty-five. Every spring, during the month of May, Mr. Lawrence takes the club to his summer cottage at Rhododendron for a week-end vacation. It is here that the new members are initiated. The membership of the club during the past term included Bruce 0,Bryant, presi- dent, Leonard Davis, vice-president, Cecil Harrison, secretaryg Thomas Drynan, treasurer, Walter Funk, sergeant-at-arms, Leonard Davis, publicity agent, Vesper Brown, Vernon Gilmore, Vance Huntley, Albert Hilgers, james Ryan, George Camp- bell, Williani Harkness, Theodore Kinney, Ernest Zinn, Merrick Bradford, and Ray- mond Reed.

Any boy majoring in mechanical drawing is entitled to be a member, provid- ing he is in good standing in his classes. The club was organized in November, 1922, with twenty-four charter members. Mr. R. Harrison, mechanical drawing in- structor, was appointed club adviser. Mr. Harrison takes an interest in the boys and their activities, making friends of them all. The aim of the organization is to delve farther into machine design work, and to do-research work along engineering lines. To do this the club members hold numerous dabates and discussions of mechanical prob- lems. Every member of the club has to give at least one talk or enter at least one debate. Mr. Harrison, as well, gives talks during the term that help to solve many problems. The club members also take many Saturday afternoon trips to mills or places where the results of machine design may be observed. Plans are being made to take a trip to the Portland Cement Com- pany. During the fall term the club had an orchestra, but it was disbanded this term. The members of the orchestra were Carl Jensen, pianog jack Clark, saxophone, Ralph Meyer, violing Preston Varney, drums, Harold Mitchell, bass horng and Theodore Ebbert, cornet. The orchestra was quite successful. Public appearances were made at the Benson class play Clarence , and at a football rally. All of the members of the club are active around the school in social, athletic, and student work, but they can always find time to attend the meetings and to take an active part in them. The Kumpus Klub gets an equal share of the honors that the drawing room receives from athletic tournaments, as nearly all the drawing majors are in the Kumpus Klub. The officers for the spring term were Lloyd Eye, president, Vernon Gilmore, vice-president, Tom Drynan, sec- retary, Fred VVagner, treasurerg Clarence Olson, sergeant-at-arms. The members of the club are Vernon Gilmore, Donald Bick- nase, Merrick Bradford, Frank Caputo. jack Clark, Tom Dynan, 'Lloyd' Eye, Ar- thur Holmberg, Harold Mitchell, Wfilliam Moore, Clarence Olson, Fred VVagner. Harry VVatson, Homer Hanna, Vernon Ross, Lester Thomas, Lonnie Hartman. and Mr. Harrison. An initiation ceremony was held at the country home of Alfred Friberg in Os- wego. Five new members were initiated. They were Vernon Ross, Lester Thomas, Homer Hanna, Lonnie Hartman. and Tom Drynan. After the ceremony a wonderful lunch was prepared by members of the club. Ralph Meyer and Alfred Friberg. loth alumni members, were present, Many former members of the club hai, been very successful in college and in busi- ness life. Many of these boys write back and tell how the club has helped them in the mechanical end of their business or school life. Two graduate members of the club visited the school and gave talks to the class: Charles Johnson from O. A C., and Jimmy Smith from U. of VV. In their talks they emphasized the great need of public speaking in college. They told of their thankfulness for the practice they received in the Kumpus Klub. As a whole, the club has been very successful both educationally and socially. ORDER OF THE B Front Row: V. Huntley, D. Wadsworth, G. Bryson, G. Lauder, L. Davis, T. Samuels, W. Funk, C. Keith, E.

Chalfzm. an GT Benson Polytechnic School isi Order of the B THE Order of the HB is an organization composed of the lettermen of the Benson Polytechnic School. This club was formed to take the place of the Orange B Club, which was dissolved a year ago. The pur- pose of the club 'is to keep up interest in the athletics of the school. The club was organized atthe beginning of the spring term of l925. Mr. Drynan, who has always taken a keen interest in athletics in the school, was appointed ad- viser. He coached the track team for one year while we were short of a coach, and has helped coach this team for many years. Mr. Drynan has coached the soccer team successfully by bringing successive cham- pionships to the school in the two years that the sport has been in Portland's interschol- astic circles. . To be a member of the Order of the B is an honor, as no person but one who has earned a letter in some branch of athletics in high school competition may be a mem- ber. To obtain membership, a student must have been presented his letter and must file an application for membership with the club. The Order of the HB has taken the re- sponsibility of the inter-shop track meets, as did the Orange iiBi'CQlub. The meet held this year was a success, and considerable track material was found, thus fulfilling the purpose of the meet. The Electric Shop came in first, the VVoodworking Shop second, and the Drawing Department third. A pennant was given to the winning team, and ribbons were given to the men who placed first, second and third in each event. A ribbon was to be presented to the indi- vidual high point man, but as two men were tied for the honors it was necessary to du- plicate the ribbon and make two awards. T. Drynan was in charge of getting the pen- nant and ribbons. V. Gilmore secured the officials, Cecil Harrison was in charge of the meet, and B. Ol'Bryant got the equip- ment and wasifield clerk. The track meet was as successful as could be expected con- sidering the poor weather. When the first meeting of the club was held, Cecil Harrison was elected presidentg Tom Drynan, vice president, Leonard Davis, secretaryg Ernest Zinn, treasurerg George Lauder, sergeant-at-arms, Vernon Gilmore, publicity manager. The president appointed a committee to draw up a consti. tution. This committee included the follow- ing members: Leonard Davis, Tom Dry- nan and Vance Huntley. The constitution was presented at the next meeting and adopted by the club. Cecil Keith and Vance Huntley were appointed on a committee to investigate applicants for membership in the organization. Only men who have earned letters before the beginning of this term are charter members. All athletes earning a letter after this time will have to make ap- plication to the club and go through an in- itiation which will be of a ceremonial kind. The charter members of the club are Mr. Drynan, aclyiser, Cecil Harrison, Tom Drynan, Leonard Davis, Ernest Zinn, George Lauder, Vernon Gilmore, Robert Blotter, Vesper Brown, VValter Funk, Earl Watsoii, W'esley Cook, Emil VVanclel, Bruce O'Bryant, Don XVadsworth, Vance Huntley, Cecil Kieth, Guy Bryson, Oscar Singert, Raymond, VVeist, Ed Tuller, Melvil Dixon, Cloyce -Teorg, Tom Samuels, Raymond Reid, James Ryan, Joaquin Baker.

'J ffl' , W5 Benson -Polytechnzcj .School 63 Oyer-un-gon Club THE Oyer-un-gon Club, whose purpose is to study our home state, is an organization of Benson students interested in Oregon's natural and historical points of interest. The club maintains high standards of schol- arship, character, and service, working for a better membership and a better Benson. The object of the club, the study of Ore- gon, is fulfilled by means of many hikes in which the members participateg lectures by members and by experienced men from the United States Forest Service, the Depart- ment of Agriculture, the Biological Survey, and the Oregon Historical Society, and by to tell any other men who have stories which would be of interest to the Benson boys. Although the official, hikes of the club are few, many hikes are taken by small groups of members. The biggest official hike for the past year was scheduled to be taken to the top of Oregon's loftiest snow- peak, Mount Hood, on May 9. WVahtum Lake, Lost Lake, Rainy Lake, and Larch Mountain are places of interest quite pop- ular with Oyer-un-gon hiking parties. The Ten Eyck ranch, six miles from Sandy, on the way to Mount Hood, is another fre- quently-visited place, due to the fishing, hiking, and other attractions . To gain admittance to the membership of the Oyer-un-gon Club the applicant must himself to attend club meeetings, pledge and to do his best to make all the ventures of the club successful. meetings for the fall and spring The terms have been alternate business and pro- gram meetings. In the latter, lectures and musical numbers on the mouth organ and sweet spudi' have been found entertain- ing. The business meetings are conducted according to the rules of parliamentary law. At every Tech Show the Oyer-un-gon Club is on hand with a peppy and attractive display, which, of course, has to do with outdoor life in Oregon. Mr. Forrester, true to his name, is an outdoor man, and his work as faculty ad- viser of the club, since the resignation of Mr. Parsons, has been gratefully received by the members.

As one means of fulfilling this purpose, the club meets every other Friday afternoon in Lecture Room A to discuss radio and the problems of the club. Many interesting and important subjects are thrashed out at these meetings, to which all interested in radio are invited. The radio club is the proud possessor of a club room of its own, which, although not elaborately furnished in mahogany, and having plastered walls, is a great help to the members. The club room is located in the basement of the administration build- ing, and is reached by passage through a staircase and fan room. For a long time it has been the custom for the members to meet in the club room at noons for the purpose of consuming the noon meal, and chewing the ragf, as the radio hams', term it, over numerous cur- rent questions. Among the equipment and furniture of the club room is a library of technical books and magazines, a large table, a number of chairs, a cabinet, several smaller tables for radio equipment, an omni- graph' a long wave receiver, and a great many other instruments with which the club conducts experiments and which the club uses in the construction of radio apparatus. The omnigraph, an automatic instrument which sends radio signals, has been especi- ally valuable, as its use has enabled a num- ber of the members of the club to pass the code examination for commercial and ama- teur licenses The organization is affiliated with the American Radio Relay League, and the Leagueis monthly issues of QSTH ta radio abbreviation which means general call to all stationsuj are giving useful information and news of the work of the prominent amateurs of' the world. Since the organization of the radio club there have always been plans for a itrans- mitter, but only once have they materialized, when a powerful spark set was put in operation for a short time under the call letters 7YK. With the advent of broadcast- ing from KFIF this was discontinued because of possible interference, and with the understanding that the club could use the CVV. Qcontinuous wavej and the I.C.W. Qinterrupted CVVQ obtainable from the broadcasting set. Again a transmitter is being built, this time in the shape of a fifty-watt C.W. set, under the supervision of a committee includ- ing VVesley Mock, 7LQg V. jarle, 7QDg and H. Schooliield, 7CW. The fifty-watter will be operated on the new wave lengths of 80, 40, and possibly 20 meters for exper- imental work and a bit of relaying. The club has co-operated as much as pos- sible with the school station, KFIF. It has furnished operators and assistants who have been largely responsible for the success it has attained. The remodeling is in the hands of two members, Temple Ehmsen and W. C. Mock. The oflicers who served during the spring term of 1925 were: Andrew Larsen, pres- ident, Vernie Jarle, 7QD, vice president, H. Schoolfield, 7CXV, secretaryg L, Smith, treasurerg G. Chilson, sergeant-at-armsg and David Mozes, 7ND, publicity agent. ROOTERS' CLUB as - .tm Benson Polytechnic School 67 Rooters' Club THE Rooters' Club is one of the most re- cently organized clubs in this school. It was formed in the fall of the year 1924 to promote a better spirit at the football, basketball and all the other athletic contests, and to have an organized rooting section as the colleges have. Fifty charter members were enrolled. Many of these were gradu- ated in the january class and a large number of applications were favorably voted on at the beginning of the spring term. The club is now at full strength with a large number of applications on hand from which to fill any vacancies that may occur. Meetings are held each week in Room 32 where plans for rallies are 'discussed and miscellaneous business attended to. Mr. Barzee was chosen the faculty adviser of the club as he had a great deal to do with its formation and success. During the past term a large number of the members drove to Olympia, Washing- ton, where the Benson Football team de- feated the Olympia High School team. About twenty-live members made the trip at their own expense. They were royally treated while there and they all report hav- ing had a fine time. The Benson Rooters' Club Was,.respon- sible for many of the rallies that Wvere held in the cafeteria to get up enthusiasm and pep for the basketball games. These rallies were very successful as they resulted in a larger attendance at the games. Among the stud- ents that have pulled some very good stunts that aided in enlisting the interest of the other students in these rallies were Smith, Adolph Lesser, Melvin Burgy, and Andrew Larson. Officers of this club are elected semi- annually at the end of the term. The officers for this term are Marion VValker, president g Andrew Larson, vice-presidentg Leonard Helgesson, secretaryg Robert Watson, treas- urerg and Adolph Lesser,sergeant-at-arms. l ll m! 7 ' .....

There is always a program committee of one appointed by the president of the club, to look after and plan new laboratory exer- cises. Every member does his utmost in trying to co-operate with his fellow mem- bers. In this manner much work is accom- plished successfully. According to the constitution and by- laws of the club, a meeting is held every Wednesday unless some school holiday or activity prevents. At these meetings, hikes and trips to factories in or out of the city are planned, and many talks are given on scientific subjects. After the close of dis- cussion, the club members adjourn to the laboratory to conduct experiments. Many different experiments have been conducted during the past term, the most important being electroplating. The boys in the club have electroplated many different articles. In the electroplating process, the article to be plated is cleaned and buffed, to remove all scratches. In plating a surface of nickel, silver, or gold, a coating of cop- per is first put on to give the finishing metal a firm foundation. After this operation, the article to be plated is removed to an- other solution, its composition depending on whether the final coating is to be silver or gold. An electrode of the metal desired is immersed in the solution and connected to the Positive pole of the battery which fur- nishes the current. The article to be plated forms the negative pole, and as soon as the circuit is closed, metal will be deposited on the article. Since the moving of the science depart- ment, two rooms are provided for science classes and a nice new laboratory is in use daily. Mr. Turner, faculty adviser of the club, has a new room containing much ap- paratus. A dark room completes the space which was remodeled. The dark room makes it very convenient for the club mem- bers to develop their own pictures. Mr. Turner has explained in detail every part of the apparatus in the laboratory to the members of the club, and has given them permission to use this apparatus in working their experiments. Mr. Turner has conducted a number of interesting il- lustrated lectures for the benefit of the club. Mr. Brereton has given talks on the electron theory of electricity. One of the interesting features of the club work is the scrap book, which contains articles written by the members. Each member of the Science Club is required to turn in so much work for the scrap book each month. As a result, the pages of the scrap book are varied and interesting. The officers of the club for the past term were Lewis I. Smith, president, Jen- sen C. Clause, vice-president, Lawrence johnson, secretary, jack Clark, treasurerg Harold Fowler, sergeant-at-arms, and Robert E. West, publicity manager. PUBLIC YSPHEAKINC. CLUB Sitting: Elk Gi Pearson, M.

GX Benson Polytechnic School in Public Speaking Club THE Public Speaking Club was organized in May, 1924, by a group of boys whose purpose was primarily to become proficient in public speakingand parliamentary rules. Mr. Barzee is the faculty adviser of the club. Every other week he gives a short lesson on expression, poise, voice, gesture, knowledge of subject matter, force, and other qualities of a good public speaker. In order to give as many as possible in the club a chance to hold office and to acquaint themselves more fully with the duties of chairmanship, election of officers is held every grading period. The constitu- tion of the club calls for a president, vice- president and secretary-treasurer. No one person may hold the same office twice in succession but he may hold it every other grading period or, in the meantime, be elected to one of the other two offices. The officers for the first grading period were as follows: Leonard DeLano, presi- dentg Vlfilliarn Pennington, vice-president, and Norman Farquharson, secretary-treas- urer. In the second six weeks the officers were as follows: VVilliam Pennington, presidentg Leonard DeLano, vice-president, and Edric Sherman, secretary-treasurerf The membership of the club is limited to twelve, as a larger number would make a cumbersome class for Mr. Barzee to handle. One more than two-thirds of the member- ship is necessary to admit a candidate when a vacancy exists. In order to be voted in, a candidate must have good grades and be an earnest, live Bensonite. His application and a short talk telling why he wants to join the club will be received and a week later, if his qualifications are up to the standard, he will be voted into the club. VVith the passing of the last January class, the club lost a large number of its members. Consequently, a move was made to fill up the ranks and at present the mem- bership is up to standard. Applications will always be gladly received and considered from any Benson student in his second year. During the past term the club has held numerous debates, and speeches were given by all of the members. Some of the debate subjects were as follows: 'fResolved, That when there is no ear to hear, there is no sound. Resolved, That the mind of man is superior to the mind of woman. Re- solved, That the child labor law should be amendedf' A book on the fundamentals of public speaking by Congressman Beveridge was read and studied At the time of writing, the club is plan- ning to send its members to the various grammar schools to speak to the eighth grade students about the Tech Show and opportunities offered at Benson. This will give them a great deal of valuable practice, and at the same time they will be helping this school. TOOLMAKERS ASSOCIATION L. Simpson, W. Harkness, W. A. Peteison, Mr. Williams, R. Dickie, H. Williams, M. F. Barnes C53 WS , Benson Polytechnic School vs Toolmakers' As a means of increasing the knowledge of the students of the tool and die-making de- partment, the Toolmakers' Association is very effective. Any vocational machine student who has graduated, or any technical graduate who majored in machine and had a passing grade in all his subjects during his last year of school, is eligible for membership in the association, and may take the course in tool and die-making. In order to gain access to the organization, the student must make ap- plication to the principal of the school, -who looks up his record and makes decision as to his eligibility. Students in the toolmaking department are given excellent training in such work as the making of drills, taps, dies, reamers, milling machine cutters, and many other tools requiring very accurate work with hard metal. The machines used in the tool- making department are much more expen- Association sive, and consequently, much more accurate than those used throughout the rest of the shop. Tempering is another subject taught the toolmaker. The blacksmith shop is the scene of the tempering of the tools made by the student toolmakers, and the furnaces which are provided for this purpose are in use almost daily. A system of inspecting has been in use in the toolmaking department for some time. The students act as inspectors, and criticize the work before it is taken to the head of the department. Aside from the technical activities of the association, the members participate in many social functions, as well as hikes and fishing trips. Members of the club during the past term were L. Simpson, VV. Harkness, W. A. Peters, R. Dickie, H. Wfilliams. M. F Barnes and Mr. VVilliams. Qt g The Poly Tech for June 1925 T is Bottom to Top, and Clockwise: R. Reed, E. Batdorf, H.. Bachofner, N.

Pattern Makers' Club THE Benson Pattern Makers Club was organized in the spring term of 1925 to pro- mote a higher standard of workmanship in the shop and to create a better companionship among boys that are following the pattern making trade. To attain membership in the club is not an easy task, as some of the requirements are rather strict. To qualify for the club, a student must have put in at least 1200 hours of shop work, if he is tak- ing the vocational course, and at least 800 hours if he is a technical student. In both cases, the applicant must have earned a G grade during these hours. Meetings are held every two weeks, and important topics are discussed and voted on. If a member misses two successive meetings without an excuse, he is dropped. The charter members of the club are H. Bachofner, E. Batdorf, L. Genz, T. Gow- ing, H. Haden, N. Jensen, W. McPherson, R. Reed, Ryan, and E. Tuller. Officers are R. Reed, presidentg E. Batdorf, vice- president, and Harry Bachofner, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Benson, head of the woodworking department, is faculty ad- viser. Lifemry i The Poly Tech for June 1925 ar: S u n r i s e By DON F. WADSWORTH Early I rose in the morning As the sun peeped over the hill, Although the birds softly twittered The whole world seemed to be still. As I gazed, I thrilled at the vision, And I watched the sun slowly ascend, While the beautiful glow on the heavens With the clouds and the blue seemed to blend. I came, I saw, and was conquered By the beauty that shone all around, While the sun from the heavens above me Illumined the shadows it found. I turned and a thought seemed to sadden All the pleasures I'd gained from the sun, As I thought of some lessons awaiting My presence at school, to be done. But I knew I could do them much better Than I could if I never had come And watched the sun rise that morning And heard the bees 'round me hum. W GR Benson Polytechnic School 77 PILOT BARRY By JACK CLARK TED BARRY and Curtis Steel had been buddies ever since that momentous day in August, 1918, when they had disputed the. supremacy of the air 'isomewhere over France with five German Fokkers and an Albatross. The engagement, thanks to masterly piloting and strategy on the part of the American aces, had resulted in a 5000 foot death-dive for the flame-envel- oiped Albatross and one Fokker, the dis- abling of two other Fokkers, and the wise, though undignified retreat of the two pre- maining Germans. During the War, Ted and Curt had been in the same squadron, and upon their re- turn tothe U. S. A. after the Armistice, had been engaged as government ,test pilots, which occupation they had followed for the past several years. Barry was sta- tioned at Delly fieldiin Ohio, while Steel was assigned to testing at Burke field, about five hundred miles distant. i iv, Of course both Ted and Curtis would have preferred being stationed at the same testing ground, but they were each pos- sessed of such exceptional abilities as flyers, that the governmentair service deemed it wiser to benefit bothlfields by stationing one of the young men at each. V When. the engineershadr -completed their plans andQ model tests, the full-sigeanacliine was built and actually- tried- by,,the test pi- lots. It was hazardous workiiat best, for there are a thousand and one things that- can Ago wrong -ina plane being flown for the first time, no matter what degree of accuracy was attained in the designing. ,Ted and Curt loved their work, however, and as yet had been remarkably free from serious misfortune. This can be attributed, no doubt, to the improved designs, larger factors of safety in the machines, superior materials, and to good judgment and cool- ness on the part of both Steel and Barry. ln the fspring of 1924, when the air serv- ice waslldleileloping' a new fast mail plane, the opportunity fell to Delly field to test out this'type of plane. Barry was chosen for the work, and the afternoon after be- ing notified of his assignment, he was in the cockpit of the new SM-4, ready to test her metal. II Now the system of testing followed at Delly and the other testing grounds was to provide the pilot with a radio telephone re- ceiver, and to send him directions for maneuvers as the test progressed. Thus, after the plane had risen and attained some altitude, the pilot would receive orders to try her for banks and spins, which would then be observed from below by the ground corps. In-this manner the entire scope of airplane tactics was run through, and the deficiencies, such as slow turning, poor climb, etc., would be checked off for fur- therideve-lopmpent-and ,changes in the de- s-ign., A a ,, Ted set his head-phones in place, ad- justed his-goggles., threw, the switch and ?- --S The Poly Tech for June 1925- W started the motor with the self-starter. The eight cylinders roared out a staccato thun- der, then, as the mechanics jerked the blocks from under the landing gear, the eight-foot prop bit into the air and' the machine glided swiftly over the turf with rapidly increasing speed. In a moment or two more, Barry had pulled lightly back on the Hstickw and the SM-4 was off the ground. Ted then gave her a little rudder, in order to bring the ship slightly over to the right. To his dismay he found his rudder jammed when he attempted to straighten her out. He worked furiously with the jammed control. A cold sweat broke over his brow. His ef- forts were unavailing, however, and the plane crashed the next instant from a fifty- foot dive. By the greatest miracle, Ted escaped with only a sprained wrist and a deep gash over his right eye, yet the acci- dent this firstj served to make him doubly careful, and particular in the future about last minute inspections. In I An annual event at Delly field is an air- plane race among the test pilots. Each man may choose his own machine, even foreign makes-though very few do-and the en- trants are given two days, prior to the con- test, to tune up and try out their ships. It was now several months since Ted's crash, and a week before the big race. Ted had enlisted Tub I-ones, the fattest trou- ble shooterw on the field as his special me chanic for the race in which he-Ted--had entered with a new SM-4, which he pre- ferred to any other type. Even if jones were slow-moving there was no better airplane mechanic on any of the fields, and with a good trouble- shooter' and a fastplane, Barry's expecta- tions of carrying off the honors this year were certainly not without grounds. Ted had never been lucky in the previous races, his best achievement having been third place in the race two years before this one, and yet he was one of thevbest pilots at Delly. It had just been a hard luck case of having his machines falter at the last minute, in spite of the most thor- ough inspections. Secretly Barry felt a pride in the record he had made as a pilot, and it hurt to think he had not yet been able, from whatever cause, to take first place in one of these races. He was not arrogant or boastful, in fact, he very seldom spoke of his achieve- ments at the front or on the field. He be- longed to the quiet type. In this, he and Steel were much alike, both were coura- geous and hard-working, yet each was averse to self-advertisement. It was a bitter pill to swallow-the realization that he had not yet been able to do better than third place. Of course, Arch Sims, and Mon- key-doodle Wilson, and Dumpy Cart- wright, and all the rest of the gang at Delly field kidded him and teased him about his flying cratesf' but it wasn't the joshing that bothered him, he was too sensible for that-even with his superstitions-but it was the fact of his continual losing that was hard to take. Wasn't his piloting as good, after all, as that of Sims, who won last year, or of Dumpy, Who captured first place three years ago? Perhaps nine deceased' German pilots might be able to attest to the merits of his piloting, were they able, four of them in particular, whom he had pursued and overtaken, one at a time, in heart- breaking, plane-breaking races of a grimmer nature than these at Delly field. No. He handled his ships all right. It must have been just tough luck that had made him 1 W W Benson Polytechnic School 7Q drop back to fifth place last year with a cracked water-jacket, and to third place the year before because of a broken oil line. Well, he had a feeling he would win this year anyhow. Heid have to! And by George! with Tub's O. K. on that little rarin'-to-go she-devil, SM-4, he would! Two thirty-four per, yesterday, wasn't so bad for a try-outg and he'd have a few knots more in reserve for the race. IV H The remaining days before the meet passed quickly in the routine work of the field. One exciting event occurred on the Wednesday before the race, which was scheduled for 2:30 P. M. the coming Sat- urday. Pete Summers, one of the entrants in the race and a new test pilot at the field, was testing a new type of monoplane scout, when, at about seventeen hundred feet, the main planes decided that familiarity breeds contempt and peremptorily carried out this notion by completely detaching themselves from the rest of the machine. Pete seemed to consider the theory regarding familiarity equally applicable to Wingless flying ma- chines and himself, for he gave one tug, un- strapping himself thereby from his seat, and, with marvelous agility, leaped clear of the diving plane. His emergency parachute, which he carried strapped. to his back, opened at twelve hundred feet, and Pete, temporarily free of earthly cares, proceeded to enjoy the landscape as he slowly floated earthward. VVhen the observers on the ground be- low saw the planes of Pete's machine crumple, they unanimously reachedw the con- clusion that the coming race would have one less contestant. However, when they perceived the black spot that separated it- self from the hurtling ship resolve into a parachute, supporting the plane's pilot, their fears were dispelled. A car was made ready to go out and bring Pete in, and when the machine, with three of the field's personnel arrived at the spot where Pete had landed about three miles from the field, a ludicrous sight met their eyes. For there was Pete, none the worse for his adventure, calmly reposing in a berry patch where he had landed, half draped with the tangled parachute, a ciga- rette in one hand and a fistful of jucy blackberries in the other. Lo fellasg gonna give me a lift to Delly Pl' He greeted the rescue party with a berry-stained hand as he thus hailed them. 'fSay, you're a cool un all right,'l declared Tub Jones, who was one of the. rescue group. Purty good for one day! Wreck a plane, wreck a berry-patch, and get me and Chuck here off a job al timing at Liberty to say nothin of his ex'lency 'Monyey-doodle,' who hauled us out in his flivver. Aw dry up, an' let's get goin'. I'm hungryji retorted Pete, as he flopped into the tonneau of the docile flivver. At last the party got under way for the field, with much muttering from Tub, and about four yards of parachute trailing from the rear seat. V Due to his skill and experience, Curtis Steel, it was rumored, might be trans- ferred to the air mail September first, which was about a month hence. The air mail route between San Francisco and New York is some 2680 miles, and is divided into fourteen Hjumpsi' or hops of about two hundred miles each, with the departure so scheduled that the night flying occurs be- tween Chicago and Cheyenne. The fast mail planes are guided over this stretch by powerful beacon lights placed at regular in- tervals, while the landing fields used at gk The Poly Tech for J une 1925 an night are flooded with half-billion candle power searchlights to facilitate landings. The most hazardous hop was actually that from Reno over the Sierra Nevadas to San Francisco. This jump would be in Steel's division, if he were assigned in the fall. Barry was especially anxious to have his old pal, Curt, witness the race at Delly on Saturday, as Steel had always managed to attend the previous events, only to see his buddy defeated in each. Barry was con- fident that this race would be his. If Ted's luck were at last to change, he must have Curt, if possible, at the field to see his vic- tory. On Monday, Ted had phoned long dis- tance to Steel and received Curt's promise to hop over from Burke to Delly Saturday morning, but on Friday Steel phoned that he would have to be confined to Burke field for a test arranged for three o'clock Saturday. A new high-powered single seater pursuit plane had been developed by the engineers at the Burke laboratories and plant, and Captain Daniels, in charge at that testing ground, had chosen Steel to take the ship up, as the plane's speed and sensi- tiveness demanded a pilot of the highest skill. Therefore, Steel had been unable to have another man make the test for him, and the tests could not be postponed. Barry was frank in expressing his disap- pointment, and particularly his opinion of a certain captain at Burke field. Daniels was of a type entirely opposite to 'Cappy Selfridge, conimanding flight officer at Delly. Captain Selfridge en- couraged the :nen under his command at Delly field to a moderate indulgence in air sports, but Daniels was vigorously opposed to any activity which unnecessarily added to the expense :f the field's maintenance. an interfield A meet On several occasions had been suggested by Cappy, to Captain Daniels, only to be met with stern refusals of disapproval of and glances suggestive Captain Selfridge's own lenience. More than once it had taken all of Steel's self-restraint to forbear from airing his opinions of his superior, but he thought too much of the service and his work to com- mit an indiscretion. Because of this friction between him and Daniels, Steel rather wel- comed the tentative change to the air mail VI Finally Saturday dawned, clear and calm a perfect day for the race. During the morning the drone and bark of many mo- tors filled the air, motors receiving a final Hrub-downl'-the motors that in a few hours would carry their respective planes hurtling through the air at two hundred and thirty miles an hour and better. A Barry was hailed by Arch Sims, as he and Tub were giving a final inspection to the interplane struts on the sleek little SM-4. 'ff-Ii, Ted, whatcha doin', feedin' her raw meat fer the big spurt this aft? called Arch, as he playfully rubbed a greasy fin- ger over a wing panel. I HHey, yuh Armenian, cried Tub in in- dignation, Hdontcha know that grease spot ,ll knock off about five per from this boat's ramblin ? A Makes it slippery so it'll go faster, Tubby, Sims solemnly averred. Then, turning to Barry, he said: Teddy, ole boy, you better grease her all over or I'll leave yuh so far behind you'll come in first in next yearls race. lf you wanta beat me today, Barry re- torted, as he turned back to his work, ,'you'll have to step on your wagon so hard 'W A Benson Polytechnic School if you'll push your foot clean through the fuselage. At twenty minutes after two the en- trants, seven of them, were taxying into position for the take-off. A good-sized crowd had come to the field for the event, from Dellville, a mile away. The Dellville band was pouring out the strains of a lively march 3 small boys, in groups, worshipped from a distance the helmeted flyers in their trim and trembling steeds of the air, and m-any pretty girls in colorful frocks giggled and strolled about the field, each secretly picking her winner from the seven goggled and helmeted bird- men. The race was to be flown in sixteen laps over a fifteen mile triangular course, mak- ing a total distance of 240 miles. The legs of the course were five miles on a side, and pylons marked the turning points. These pylons were fifty feet high, resembling, somewhat, an oil dirrick in shape, and on top of each was situated a sort of crowls nest from which the officials observed the race. Two white-washed lines a yard wide, ex- tending across the field for one hundred yards from the base of the pylon, repre- sented, approximately, the continued imag- inary legs of the course, crossing each other and this determined the starting and finish lines. The planes had taxied into a line two hundred yards from, and parallel with, the line extending from the pylon, and crossing the direction of the first leg. An ingenious mechanism to facilitate the take-offs of the races had been devised by some of the mechanics at the field. The starter, as it was dubbed by HDumpyl' Cartwright, consisted' of a metal frame- work three hundred feet long, to which was hinged a wooden strip, ten inches wide and equal in length to the metal frame. By means of pulleys and a strong steel spring, an operator at one end of the device could swing up the wooden strip to provide a brace against which the wheels of the- air- planes could rest, thus permitting the pro- pellers to spin without allowing the ships to move. When the starting flag was dropped, the man at the starter'i pulled a lever, which released the spring, snapped the brace down flush with the ground, and allowed the planes to start together, un- impeded. As Barry tightened his safety strap and relaxed a moment in his seat before the tension which the next hour's flying would bring, he felt a curious thrill of excitement play over him. Not nervousness, just eager- ness to show those other cocksure bo- hunksu how far behind he was going to leave them. He know he was going to win today, hadn't he dreamed about it, and planned about it, and thought about it, un- til the desire for victory in this race had become an overwhelming passion? Ever since the second test heid made with an SM-4, he knew he was master of that ship and that it was the one plane he'd rather fly than any other. Of course, that first SM had been naughty with him, but was that anything against that type of plane? He hoped to tell the world it wasn'tg the SM was the most beautifully designed scout he had ever touched the stick to, and this little pet in which he was waiting for the starter's signal was the best of them all. Held show 'emi But why the delay? Delay-delay. Years since he had' climbed into his plane and they hadn't even started yet. VVeren't they all ready? He could feel the starter tremble beneath his ma- chine as seven powerful motors throbbed and chafed to be off. While these thoughts had crowded his brain, Barry's eyes had watched the flagger SF The Poly Tech for June 1925 Q like an eagle. And at last it came-the dropped flag from one side of the field, which was the signal for the pilots to open their throttles preparatory to the release of the 'fstarterf' Simultaneously seven engines roared out defiance at each other, the starter board shook and vibrated, and then, as the spring was released and the board snapped down, seven freed birds rushed over the ground and soared into the air, their wings glisten- ing in the sparkling sunlight. The race was on! . VII Two other SM-4s were in the air that day with Ted's. One was being flown by Monkey-doodle Wfilsong the other by a pilot named Chase who had recently joined the f'bunch at Delly, from service in the Forest Patrol in which he had gained the reputation for exceptional skill in flying. Barry felt that Chase would prove this day an opponent not to be dismissed lightly. The other four contestants were Arch Sims in a special monoplane-speedy and tricky-QBarry was charitable enough to hope Sims wouldn't break his neck round- ing a pylonlg Dumpy flying a De Haven racerg VVilliams in a Marlin two-seater, and long, lanky Smith, a clever pilot, but one who had to fold himself up three times be- fore he could get into a cockpit. Smith was flying a new triplane scout, an L-215 Pete Summers in a last minute trial, had dam- aged his landing gear and so was forced to withdraw shortly before the race. For the first four laps, the racers kept Well bunched, and it was anybodyis race. The flyers flew so close to one another that the roar of a single motor could not be dis- tinguished from the rest. Then things be- gan to happen. On the second leg of the fifth lap, Chase, who was thundering along within fifty feet of l3arry's right wing tip. attempted to swoop up over Barry and then take the next pylon with a shorter turn instead of having to sweep out past Barry. But at the same instant, W'illiams, on the inside of Barry, attempted the same maneu- ver from the other side, to avoid cutting the inside corner of the turn. Another in- a sickening throb in Chase and Williains overhead. The two stant and then with his throat, Ted saw lock wings directly planes collided at an altitude of five hun- dred feet, at better than 230 miles an hour. lVith a lurch, the machines dived earth- ward, the flyers struggled desperately to free themselves. Suddenly Chase cut his niotor dead and signalled. VVilliams to open his own engine wide. The other saw the plan in a flash and fed his cylinders all the gas they would take. The maneuver worked and with a shudder, Williaiiis' plane shot clear of the other machine. By extreme good fortune and delicate handling the two flyers managed safe landings, though with badly damaged machines. Though ordinarily cool, Ted's nerves were shaken by the accident, coming so early in the race. It seemed to portend ill. But Barry soon forgot the incident in the grind and excitement of the contest. Wil- son had forged ahead and at the end of the seventh lap was a half mile in the lead. Next came Barry with Sims and Smith roaring through the air about fifty yards behind his rudder. Durnpy seemed to be having trouble a mile behind, and on the eighth lap he was forced out of the race with a shattered propeller blade, punished beyond its limit by the tear and strain of such terrific speed. Dumpy glided his plane to earth, leaving the race to Sims, Vtlilson, Barry and Smith. The awful speed partly stunned the flyers at the turns, and when banking for the pylons their machines were almost in a GT Benson Polytechnic School ' 33 vertical position. Gradually Barry gained on Monkey-doodle, while Sims began to fall back a little. Smith remained close to Barry. , Wlieii Barry perceived the tenacity with which Smith was hugging his tail-skid, he shut his teeth with a click and called' on his reserve power that Smith evidently thought had been expended. W' ith a deeper drone, Ted's motor responded and imperceptibly at first, then more rapidly, the SM-4 in- creased the gap between itself and Smithfs triplane. And at the same time Barry saw he was n'cc1'casi1zg the space between him- self and NVilson. Barry knew his. hour had come! Victory would be his this time! How sweet his engine soundedg how firm his ship felt beneath him! Nothing could hold him now. By the twelfth lap, Barry was within four hundred yards of Wlilson. And VVil- son was flying an SM-4 too. Two thor-f oughbreds in a battle royal, truly, thought Barry. An SM was a hard proposition and Monkey-doodle knew his businessg yet wasn't Barry's SM the best of them ?- they'd see. About the middle of the thir- teenth lap, Barry's pride in his ship seemed justified, for he had cut down the otherfs lead to one hundred and fifty yardsg by the fourteenth, seventy-five yardsg on the first legt of the fifteenth lap, one hundredand twenty feet! Victory was elusive and her wings fleet-but not as fleet as Barry's. The race was decidedly between Tecl and Monkey-doodle now. Smith was a mile and a half, and Sims, three miles in the rear. It was now between the two SM-- 4s, and victory to the best! During the last of the fifteenth lap Barry heard a sud-den buzzing in his ears. He thought at first it was a ringing in his head induced by the turns taken at such frightful speed-the indicator showed 246 miles an hour-then, with a start, Barry realized he had on the head-phones he Wore when receiving testing orders. He had worn them in the race from force of habit. The buzzing resolved' itself into words-a voice-Burke talking with Delly. Well, he hoped it didn't interfere with his work nowg he needed all h!is,faculties for the finish, and he couldn't release the controls an in- stant-not at that speed. Then, with a jolt, he heard, in spite of himself. the words coming through the air: Pilot-cracked up-l:adishape-need one more test pilot tomorrow-can you send-spare man over ? That stone-heaiited Daniels !-more important to rush testis throughdthan to think about an injured flyer! !Couldn't waitg. had to send to .Delly for a man. Againcame words: ftNew plane crashed- Steelf' Wfhat! Steel cracked up? Barry's head spun. Steel! Maybe he was killed or horribly maimed. .He'd have to see ,him right away .now-NOVV! VVhy could'n't he go now? But first,,where was he? Oh yes, he was ,in .iairplaneg an airplane race thatxstarted ten thousand years ago, that held been waiting ten! thousand years to win. Had those, hideous turns affected his mental balance? H!! i Suddenly Barry. realized. heihad, from traversing the course so, many times, been guiding his plane' automatically-almost, unconsciously-while these thoughts ran through his head. He now found he was abreast of Wfilson, slightly above him and a little to his left. One more pylon to round-one leering, monstrous, invincible pylon, then the home-stretch of five miles. Barry grinned. Could he keep his sanity on that last turn? Sure he could-he'd never made turns so fast as he had this af- ternoon. He wondered if Wilson. had gone crazy yet from those awful turns. Ha! Held fool that pylon thoughg he'd fly gk The Poly Tech for June 1925 Q' straight into it and knock it in a million different directions! ff ff XVith a click Barry's brain cleared. Sud- denly he was as cool as ice. He braced himself for the last pylon and took it at eighty-seven degrees to the horizontal. Wilson swept past the turn farther out and straightened for the home stretch, with mo- tor desperately roaring, thirty yards be- hind Barry. Ah, thought Barry, no more pylons nowg just a straight stretch and then victory. lle'd waited so long-well, it was his now. VVith a groan Barry remembered Steel. That was what had dimmed the light of reason in his brain for a moment. Why couldn't it have come after the race? But no, every minute countedg Steel might be flickering out fastg he'd go to his buddy now. Let's seeg how much gas had he? Five hundred and-yes, he had enoughg his tank held enough for eight hundred miles when full, and he'd started the race with a full tank. But couldinlt he just finish the race first? He wanted to win that race more than anything else. But did he though? No! He cared more for Curt than for winning this race, and if he started now l1e'd save at least ten minutes. XVith a little sob-but with a steady hand-Barry threw the rudder hard over to the right, swerving sharply from the course, and at the same time diving in or- der not to foul with VVilson's plane, which was behind his and right in line with him. VVith another quick motion, Barry had straightened his plane out in the direction of Burke field, while what must have been a perplexed aviator roared over him and on down the last stretch-alone. :iz :fc :ja :R :la It was seven o'clock in the evening and a soft breeze gently stirred the shades lowered over screened windows in a room at the Army Hospital, near Burke field. On a cot in the room a figure layg a figure with features hidden beneath swathes of bandagesg and beside the bed stood two other figures, their own faces made indistinguishable by the darkened room. They had been conversing in low tones, and presently one of them asked for the tenth time, 'fSo he'l1 pull through all right, won't he, Doc ? Yesg he had a close call, but with a few weeks' care he'll be on his feet again, re- plied the other. His voice sounded a little tired. As the two tiptoed toward the door, the doctor was puzzled by a remark from his companion.

School fioor the Benson squad triumphed over the Commerce squad with a score of 24 to l8. The game was just close enough to keep to final result in doubt. Benson was the first to score, converting a free throw about a minute after play was started. From then until the final whistle Benson was never headed or even tied. At the end of the first quarter the score stood 6 to 3 in favor of Benson. Benson vs. BENSON defeated the Roosevelt shooters by an 18 to 14 score in a hard-fought game played on the Washiiigton High School floor, Weclnesday, February ll. From start to finish the crowd was kept in doubt con- cerning the outcome. Both teams appeared to be nervous at the beginning of the game, and the passing and shooting for the first quarter took a poor form. Time after time players passed directly to their opponents. After a few minutes of play Benson succeeded in scoring on a foul. l The one point lead was held by the y Mechanics, as neither of the teams could land a shot. Many short shots were attempted by the Mechanics, but Roosevelt was unsuccessful in piercing the Benson defence. The ball was continually worked from one end of the floor to the other, but neither team was able to score. During the second quarter Benson opened up with a short passing attak that seemed to pierce the Teddies' defence, netting a total of eight points for the Mechanics, six coming from field goals and two from free Commerce It was in the second quarter that the Mechanics did their best work, scoring eight points before the Stenogs scored one. The half ended with Benson leading 14-7. At the beginning of the second half Ben- son continued to score with ease' as the Commerce defense was still weak, but the Mechanics had more difficulty in checking the Stenogs' defense. Benson showed good pass work which accounted for many points. Roosevelt throws. Roosevelt found the five- man de- fence to be a puzzler, and scored but three points, one coming from a free throw and the other two from a short shot. The half ended with Benson leading by a score of 9 to 3. Roosevelt took the air route during the P second half, finding that shooting over Jen- son's defense was the only possible way to score. The passing and checking were shots going wild. ln the third quarter each team erra'ic during the second half, many resorted to defending its goal instead of trying so many shots, and the change was apparently for the good. of each, as both played a much better game during the last three minutes of this period. During the last part of the third quarter Roosevelt had things going her way, and came within three points of tying the score, but Benson suc- ceeded in holding throughout the entire con- test. The Roughriders sacrificed their chance to win when they allowed the Benson play- ers to dash through the broken defense, with defeat staring them in the face. The Ted- 53 gk The Poly Tech for June 1925 'U dies were siezed with a mad desire to run up their end of the score, but the Benson team immediately took advantage, making every basket possible' raising their total for Benson vs. BENSON took a peppy hoop game from the jefferson shooters on the Washington High floor, the score coming out 21-16. Thirty seconds after play started a Ben- son player dropped a foul shot for a tempor- ary lead. Jefferson followed shortly with a field goal. From then until the fourth quarter the score see-sawed and probable winners could not be determined. Each of the teams scored on two free throws. Jef- ferson successfully landed a field goal and the Mechanics did not score until two min- utes before the quarter ended, when a field goal tied the score. During the second quarter jefferson had a slight advantage, running up six points to the Mechanics' four. Benson seemed to have a great deal of trouble in finding the basket. The half Benson vs. FRANKLIN defeated the strong Benson team and forced it out of the running for the 1925 title by a 20-13 victory over the Mech- anics, February 27, on the Washington High floor, and placed herself in a sub- stantial position in the race for the cham- pionship. -About two thousand ethusiastic students gathered to witness the champion- ship fray. Both teams resorted to a defense game the first few minutes and neither scored. Fast passing and playing featured the quarter. Benson succeeded in scoring on a free shot, after four minutes of play. A basket followed, and the Benson supporters the half to 9 points, while Roosevelt tallied 11. This still left Roosevelt on the small end of an 18 to 14 score. Jefferson ended with a 10-12 score in favor of Jef- ferson. The Mechanics, apparently out for re- venge, started the third quarter with a rush that fairly wiped the Democrats off their feet. When the gun of the timekeeper ended the quartier and the dust cleared away, it was found that Benson had made seven points to three for jefferson, making the score 15-13. A furious rush began, Jefferson trying to tie the score while Ben- son continued to lead. Benson piled up six points during this quarter while Jefferson took three. Coach Quigley of the Demo- crats rushed in Flegel in an effort to save the game, but Benson continued the on- slaught and took the game with a 21-15 score. Franklin up a cheer that fairly shook the foundations of the building. Franklin found it necessary to take time out. After a toss a Benson man fouled, and Franklin converted both throws. Two baskets followed in quick succession, and the Quakers took a 6-3 lead. ' Franklin continued on her rampage in the second quarter, while Benson succeeded in annexing three baskets and one free throw. The Mechanics seemed to pep up when a change in the lineup was made, and began to stop the Quakers during the last part of the half. Although trailing by seven points, the Mechanics did not become discouraged' but ig' nba in , Benson Polytechnic School if came back in the last half and gave the Champs a real scare. Strengthening their defense and displaying more offensive power the Benson men gradually worked up to the 13 points, while the Franklin squad found difficulty in adding another basket to its total of 13. The contest grew hotter, and it was anybody's game. Many fouls were made by the anxious players. The quarter ended with Benson but one basket behind the league leaders. Franklin again threatened to run up her end of the score, and succeeded in forcing Benson vs. To THE average spectator who witnessed the 19 to 13 victory which Washington took from Benson on March 12 on the VVashing- ton fioor, the fight displayed by both teams resembled a fight for the championship, so keen was the rivalry. Washington was first to score, a field goal bringing the count. A second free throw made the score grow, and Benson called time out. Before either could score the quarter ended. Two field goals shoved Benson into a one point lead' but Washington managed to retally two baskets in quick succession. Benson annexed two free throws, and the half ended with Washington in the lead. The third quarter found each team striving for a comfortable lead, but neither Benson V THE Benson hoop squad met its second de- feat when it went up against the strong Lincoln quintet, Frday March 6, on the Washington floor. The defeat placed the Mechanics in a tie for third place. The the Mechanics to resort to their defensive power. A terrific struggle again started, and many more fouls were made. Franklin made two substitutions, and immediately started to score, making three free throws and two field goals, running the score up to 20, and in the meantime holding the Ben- son team scoreless. The Mechanics failed to tally any of the seven field goals and lost a possible chance to score. The game ended with Franklin taking 20 points against Ben- son's 13. Washington succeeded, as one basket and one free throw were chalked up to each. In the final quarter Benson took three points while Washington only succeeded in taking one field goal. At the end of time a 12 to 12 score made it necessary to play overtime. The first five-minute overtime was hot. The play was extremely rough, and although no fouls were called, close check- ing was the feature, and neither team was able to score, Another five minutes was necessary to decide the final result, and it was in this period that VVashington rallied. Three field goals and a free throw were registered by the Colonials, while the Mechanics found the basket for one free throw. The final score stood 19 to 13. s. Lincoln winner of the Benson-Washington fray would have an undisputed hold on that po- sion in the league standings. The Benson team fought an uphill battle, but the playing of the Cardinals seemed 1 53? W 90 The Poly Tech for June 1925 too much for the home men, and the final whistle found Lincoln at the long end of a 21-17 score. Lincoln got off to an early lead of six points, and it was necessary for the Me- chanics to call time out to stop the rush. As soon as play was resumed a Benson player dropped a long shot while Lincoln ran up her total to eight points by adding two field goals. The play became ex- tremely rough, as the squads each endeav- ored to lay a strong hold on the lead. ln the third quarter Benson made good one foul. The game ended, however, be- fore the Techs' machine was able to come any closer than four points to the Lincoln lead. The. final score was 21-17. The first quarter found Benson advanc- ing by leaps and bounds. Gradually com- ing out of the nervousness which had been apparent during the early part of the con- test, the Mechanics gained six points by Benson Soccer BENSON has kept up with l1er good habit of winning the soccer championship of the Portland High School League. Vlfithin the past few years, soccer sud- denly took a foothold and became popular in Portland. An association was formed, and six teams appeared on the field To stimulate more interest, last year the association offered to give a trophy to the winner of the Portland High School League. However, only three teams, Ben- son, Franklin, and Roosevelt, entered the league during the first season, and each landing two field goals and as many foul with a duplicate from Lincoln. Another Benson basket brought the score to 8-4, shots, holding, only to be followed closely just as the quarter ended. 1 The Techs strengthened their defense. The playing of the Benson squad im- proved, and the final half, from all indica- tions, would be hard fought. Lincoln's total of seven points for the second period came as a result of three field goals'and one foul shot, while the Techs, two field goals and two free throws added six points to the count. The last half was a disastrous one for Benson. The players could not find the hoop. Many long shots were attempted, but the ball would not go in, but seemed to en- joy rolling around the hoop several times and then falling over the side. Many free throws failed, and few of the many shots were successful. Championship team played four games. Benson proved to be the winner of the cup. This season found two additional teams entering the league, and each was required to play eight games. A point system was used, whereby the winning team received two points. In case of a tie, each team re- ceived one point, and a loss added nothing to the score. The team with the highest number of points at the end of the season wore the colors of Benson Tech. The Me- chanics' squad won six out of eight games, and tied the other two, not a single loss being checked up against it during the en- tire season. W ? The Poly Tech for June 1925 FOR the second consecutive year, Benson has captured second place in the cross coun- try relay, although breaking the record of 52 minutes and 20 second by about l minute and 50 seconds. Vlfashington also broke the record-breakingtime of last year and came in time of 50 minutes and 25 seconds, winning by a scant fifty feet. The race started on the section line road at Gresham, and ended with a finish five laps on the Franklin bowl, ten miles from start to finish. The schools finished in the following order: Vlfashington, Benson, jefferson, Lin- coln. Each school was represented by ten Dual Track Meet- THE Benson and Lincoln cross country teams held a dual meet on the Benson course on Vlfednesday, March ll. A very good one-mile course was used, and the men gave the coaches an excellent runners. The race was on the road for nine miles, the last mile being taken on the track.- Benson was leading at the end of the first mile, then dropping back to second place until the end of the third, when she took third place. This was soon overcome in the last mile. jefferson led until the end of the seventh mile, when Washington and Benson passed her up. - The members of the Benson team in the order in which they ran are Kauran, Lissoniti, Davis, Drynan, Joerg, Reihn, Hoak, Friese, Green, and Gilmore. Benson vs. Lincoln lineup on the men. Nine Benson runners finished in the group of ten that first crossed the line. Gilmore of Benson stepped in ten yards ahead of Darr of Lincoln and took first place. GOLF i 'IRACK 'FHA GN n WZ Benson Polyteclmzc School 97 WRESTLING Benson vs. Oregon City IN the closest wrestling match in which Benson participated during the past season, the Mechanics lost to Oregon City on Fri- day, February 13, by a score of 53 to 45. Sells of Benson won the first match over O'Donnel by a decision and a fall gained with a pinning hold. It took Sells only 50 seconds to throw his man in the final bout. Andy Larsen of Benson took the second match over Tapp, also by a decision and a fall. Andy threw Tapp in two and one- half minutes with a head lock. Blake of Oregon City took the third match over Howden of Benson by a fall and a decision. Blake threw Howden in 35 seconds with a half Nelsong this was the only fall secured by an Oregon City man. Bruecherk of Oregon City won two deci- sions from Tuller of Benson. Benson Vs. BENSONJS bonecrushers went down in de- feat when they met the Franklin squad for the championship match on March 10. The Mechanics gave .the opponents a hard proposition, in spite of the fact that Frank- lin went over the top. Larsen launched Benson on her way to the fight with two four-minute falls won by half nelson and headlock over Irving Ross of Franklin. Anderson of Franklin took a hard fall by a head scissors from Gillis in the first round, and completed the good work by an unknown hold in the second round. Stoffer raised Benson's hopes in the fifth match by taking two falls by head- locks from Tom Badley. Brown, a new man on the Benson team, lost to Miller Christian of Oregon City took two deci- sions and fought a draw with Gillis in the most hotly contested match of the meet. When Christian and Gillis met in the third bout thecscore stood 47 to 45 in favor of Oregon City, with a chance for either team to win, and no one could tell who would take the match. Christian was announced the better man. Cuny of Oregon City won two decisions over Stauffer in the sixth match. Sherman of Benson defeated Cox of Ore- gon City by taking a decision and a fall with a headlock. Cox weighs ten pounds more than Sherman. Funk wrestled Richardson in an exhibi- tion. Richardson won by an exceedingly close decision. t Franklin Nichoisont by two four-minute falls gained by headlocks. Funk and Pratt furnished some excite- ment in the match, lying in a hold in wait for the calling of time. Funk's opponent pushed him to the floor just two seconds before time was called. York raised the interest of the audience in the beginning of his strangles with Klingensmith, and when the end of the third match finally came, his opponent ap- peared to be glad that it was time to quit. Although the score was a tie, York was really the aggressor throughout the match. Howden and Fuller furnished most of the offense in their matches, but both lost by falls. Shops F- 100 The Poly Tech for June 1925 Wa Foundry THE foundry, the first shop through which the technical student passes, offers an excellent course in the fundamentals of molding, as well as the study of the composition of the various metals, and their use. Four days of the week are spent in shop practice, while lectures and recitations take up the fifth day. The student, although not required to do so, is advised to purchase a copy of Gray's Foundry VVork. - The theory for the term's study follows this book, and the student is given a chance to learn more of the how and whyu of foundry operations than constitutes the knowledge of the average foundry Worker. Such subjects as shrinkage of metal, core making, making of molds' loam Work, peculiaritiei of the metal, molding for various kinds of metal, the cupola and furnace, and many other topics. Tests are given regularly. The foundry student starls his shop work by making a simple mold, after the opera- tion is demonstrated by one of the instruc- tors. The names and proper use of the various shop tools and machines are learned, and practical work is given throughout the course. After the completion of the first exercise, the student must mold a Wrench, and a bracket which requires three cores. Several other exercises complete this part of the course, after which the student Works on more or less simple molds which are saved and poured at the next heat. held each term, pour the molds, under the direction of the instructor. The demonstrated at A number of heats are and the students learn to charging of the -cupola is this time. -sag. - - Benson Polytechnic' School 101 l Woodworking Shop THE woodworking department, the second shop through which the technical student passes on his way of preparation, offers several interesting and useful branches of study and practice. The tech student, under the head of the department and an assistant, makes a study of the fundamentals of pattern making, and puts his knowledge to service in making several patterns and core boxes. Accuracy is an essential in this Work, and unless the student takes great pains in his work, the product is unsatisfactory and must be made again. The completed patterns which are turned out by the technical students are taken to the foundry where the first termers use them in practicing molding. For those students who Wish to major in the woodworking department, or who wish to take a vocational course, cabinet making, carpentry, Wood-turning, and advanced pattern making are offered. The cabinet maker in the Benson shop must complete practice work in various kinds of joints, practical woodworking, making of a taboret, and numerous other jobs. Many of the cab- inets, desks, and other articles of furniture about the school are the products of this department. The carpentry course is similar in many respects to the cabiuetumaking course, but the carpenter studies the subject of archi- tecture to a greater extent. A visitor to the woodworking department would be in- terested in the model house frames in sev- eral parts of the shop. The carpenters use this means for studying the details of house construction and putting their knowledge into practice. Although wood turning is seldom taken up as a separate course, the shop displays some fine examples of this work. if The Poly Tech for Jane 1925 WD Blacksmith Shop THE blacksmith shop, third industrial de- partment in the curriculum of the technical student, gives the student who spends a term in this study a knowledge of the ele- mentary principles of blacksmithing, and an ability to perform many operations of the blacksmith. The proper building of the fire is taught first and the student learns to heat his metal correctly with as small a tire as possible. Fires are started with oily rags which come from the pressroom of the printing depart- ment. In the first jobs the student is given a of round machine steel 3-4ths of an inch in diameter. He must draw this down to a bar 9-l6ths square, a task not so simple as it sounds. After this operation is com- pleted, the result being very accurate, the square bar is hammered into a 5-Sths inch Octagon, then to a 9-l6ths inch hexagon, piece and finally to a 3-Sths inch round rod. This rod is then bent into a round ring, after a clevis. The clevis, in turn, is straightened out and Welded into a link for a 'chair. All of these jobs are done with the original piece of metal, and by the time the link is complete, nearly all of the machine steel is used. Another piece of metal is then given the student, and he is required to make a square bracket for a piece of lumber two by four inches. This is then made into a pipe clamp- which in turn is made into a gate hook and two staples. A bolt and a nut are made out of a third piece of metal, and a great deal of time and care are necessary on this job. The last job in the course of a technical student is the making of a hook on which three links of chain are welded. After the completion of this, tempering of tools is taken up. WJ GN s r Benson Polytechnic School 103 ,la Machine Shop NOT enough can be said concerning the Benson machine shop, the best school machine shop west of the Mississippi River, and one of the best in the United States. This department contains an apparently endless variety of machines, a good many of which were purchased from the United States government, and rebuilt by the students for practical machine shop pur- poses. The technical student takes a term's work in this shop to prepare him for any other trade or profession he may wish to take. Lectures, recitations, and practical shop work constitute the course of study of the technical student. The vocational sudents, as Well as techs who wish to major in the machine shop, start their course with chipping and filing a cast iron block, a task much more difficult than one would think. Drilling and lathe work, as well as tool grinding and laying out work come next in the shop practice of the student. After mastering these arts, the machinist learns the operation of the shaper. The third term student in the machine shop takes up surface scraping, a difiicult task requiring great accuracy. After the completion of this work, the student starts working on shop orders, which require machining of all kinds. During his course, the machinist uses the milling machines, planers, grinders, and many other machines, The machinist must be extremely ac- curate, and this fact is stressed during the entire course. The discipline and training in turning out accurate jobs, both of which are obtained in the machine shop, are among the most valuable assets one can have. - -ee - -WE W The Poly Tech for June 1925 l Plumbing Shop BENSONS plumbing department, the best equipped educational plumbing shop in the United States, , acording to government officials, offers a course in this trade which will enable any ordinary student who takes it up to earn a good wage. The plumbing student begins his course by learning the names and uses of various fittings and tools. First and second term students are kept busy with such Work as cutting, threading, and wiping one andlone half inch joints, as Well as putting up stacks, and calking the joints. A small amount of estimating work is given to the fresh- men. ' The main work of the third termer is the wiping of lead joints, a task which requires considerable skill. A good plum- ber, as welll as finnished electricians, should be able to Wipe any sized joint in any posi- tion. In the equipment of the plumbing department, the large electrically driven pipe cutting and threading machine stands out in importance. This machine handles pipe of any size from one quarter of an inch to four inches, threading only the sizes from three quarters of an inch to four inches. The cutting tools are continually supplied with a stream of oil from a small force feed pump, while the machine is in operation. The pipe-cutting and threading machine attracts a great deal of attention at every Tech Show. V Students of the fourth, fifth, and sixth terms benefit both themselves and the school by doing practical and useful repair work. This work must be done accordingto the city code, which is studied throughout the plumbing course. W5 aw Benson Polytechnic School 105 i l Gas Engine Shop THE gas engine shop offers education in both the mechanical and electrical workings of the automobile. So many students sign up for courses in this shop that it is con- sidered one of the major departments of the school. The beginner in the gas engine depart- ment starts with the study of front axles, rear axles, differentials, steering gears, and transmissions. First and second term stu- dents are required to keep large note books and to make sectional drawings of every part on which they work. This work gives the student the ability to represent every nut, bolt, washer, or other part used in his repairing, and gives him training that will enable him to make repairs systematically. Third and fourth term students start work on engines, and it can surely be said that the Benson department has a wonderful variety of them. They must tear an engine down and re-assemble it, scraping the bear- ings, adjusting the valve tappets, and over- hauling other parts. Electrical work is taken up during the fifth term of the course, and the student makes a study of every detail of the electri- cal fixtures of the car. This shop has one of the best test boards for gas engine elect- rical systems in the city. Practical shop work is given to the sixth termers, who get a chance to make repairs on cars. This experience gives them prac- tice in the type of work which they would do in a down-town garage or repair shop. The sixth term student realizes his desires as a Hrst termer-he gets a chance to oper- ate the big Liberty motor, which was pur- chased from the government, and which arouses so much interest at every Tech Show. The graduate from the gas engine depart- ment is fully equipped to take his place in a repair shop at a good wage. 4-. WD iii? The Poly Tech for June 1925 Print THE Benson printing department is one of the busiest shops of the school, as, aside from the regular school work which is done during the eight periods of the day, a great deal of time is spent in doing work for the Portland school board. The student who signs up for printing may elect to take any one of three courses offered by this department, namely, com- posing, linotyping, and presswork. The student who takes up composition starts his work by learning the positions of the various pieces of type in the case, and learns how to clean the case. As he pro- gresses, the compositor designs and sets up small jobs, such as cards, letterheads, bill- heads, announcements, and invitations. He studies two-color work, work and whirl forms, lock-up, and many other subjects which must be included in the knowledge of the good compositor. Advertisements Shop for the Tech Pep and Poly Tech, as well as school board jobs and shop orders are set up by the students of the composing room. The boys who desire to study linotyping may do so after three terms are spent in the composing room. The student of this department first practices on the keyboard, then learns the parts of the machine, and scores of tricks of the trade. Tech Pep copy is the main source for typesetting in the linotype room, although the Poly Tech and many school board jobs are set here. The shop possesses six Linotype machines. The press room, whose equipment in- cludes iive platen presses, two cylinder presses, and a folding machine offers a val- uable course to the student. He studies the presses, and practices feeding, lock-up, and washing up. All the printing Work must go through this room, and the boys are kept busy. WD Cm Benson Polytechnic School 107 Sheet Metal Shop NEARLY all the students of Benson's sheet metal department are taking vocational courses, as very few technical students choose to major in this shop. The voca- tional gas engine students spend some of their time working with sheet metals. Soldering is the most important part of the sheet metal worker's training, as it is used in nearly every job which he under- takes. Students of this shop do soldering work during their entire course. VVhen the student reaches the last year in this department, he begins work in brazing and oxy-acetylene welding, which require much more skill and care than soldering. The student learns to cut metals with the oxy- acetylene torch. Students of the sheet metal department learn to make line brass and copper vases, as well as various shapes and sizes of bowls. Utensils such as doughnut and cookie molds, tunnels, and ventilators, as well as a great many miscellaneous articles are turned out by the sheet metal workers, At every Tech Show, the boys of this shop spend weeks making souvenirs and novel- ties. These are passed out to the crowds which visit the department during the Tech Show. In connection with his shop work, the student is required to do a great deal of sheet metal drafting, which enables him to lay out his jobs accurately. Apparently difficult jobs become easy when the student knows how to lay them out and to cut and bend his metal. The drawing work consists of making lay-outs for such articles as elbows,t corners, cones, square to round and round to square connections, and many others. QF- Wt' wa The Poly Tech for June 1925 fx, Electric Shop IN the Electric Shop, the largest industrial department of the school, the student is given the fundamentals of the electrical science, and is taught the installation and use of electrical wiring and numerous elec- trical machines. The first term students begin their course with house wiring and line wiring. Minia- ture house frames 'are wired according to the requirements of the law, in a manner that would pass the inspection of the city engineer. Estimating, which is taught to the second termers, is somewhat difficult, and enables the student to estimate the size and amount of wire necessary for a particu- lar wiring job. A small machine department takes up one end of the Electric Shop, and makes it possible for the student to do exercise work and make repairs on machines. A good electrician must know how to work with metals as well as wood, and the drill and lathe are important in his work. The ad- vanced students receive instruction in shaper work. T Third and fourth termers work on lathes, making repairs on the broken apparatus of the shop. Machine students stumble a bit when the time comes for index milling, or making a commutator, but with practice this job' is accomplished' Fourth term students take up the hook-ups of 'various types of direct current motors, including lap and wave, windings. Stator and armature winding is a trade in itself. Drawings must be made in various colors of ink, showing the windings and circuits of the motors. Fifth and sixth term students finally en- ter the mysteries of alternating currents. They must draw hook-ups of various in- struments and machines studied. Practical work is done by the electrical student all through his course, making his training worth a great deal to him. I W GT Benson Polytechnic School 109 l l Stock Room As a means of distributing the materials needed in various departments of our school and of keeping records of their cost and distribution, the stock room has long been a place of importance in the Benson Poly- technic School. Two men are employed by the school district to take care of the supplies and to manage the books. The stock room which is located at the intersection of the north hall and the hall which connects the latter with the south wing, contains a great many shelves and racks, loaded with equipment carefully assorted according to its type and use. In one end is kept the metal bars, rods, pipe, sheet metal, etc. which are used by the machine, blacksmith, plumbing, electric, and sheet metal departments. The other end is built somewhat on the order of a hard- ware store, and the materials which are kept here follow that order to a marked degree. When any stock is needed in the depart- ments, an order must be obtained from the faculty of that department, or in the case of a shop order, from the principal's office. The stock is then issued by one of the men of the stock room, and a record is filed in the books. Whenever a job is needed in a department of the school, such as repairs, making of new machines, and other in- stances' a shop order is requested by the instructor of the department desiring the job. This order must be 0K'd by principal C. E. Cleveland, and sent to the stockroom. The stock room, in turn, issues a shop order to the department best suited to do the de- sired job or make the necessary repairs, and the materials needed are taken from the stockroom. 110 The Poly Tech for June 1925 Library THE Benson Tech Library, which contains an excellent assortment of technical and lit- erary books and periodicals, affords eight periods for study and concentration, and furnishes books for use at home and for reference work. Students taking courses in any of the departments of the school find the library a great help, if not a necessity. A great deal of the reading which is done in the library may be traced to the English department, for books are supplied for book reports. Nearly forty current magazines may be found in the magazine rack, and the stu- dent may keep up with the latest advances of the sciences, as well as happenings in general. Several beautiful paintings hang on the walls of the library, including a copy of Rembrandtis f'Night Watcl1 . A portrait of Simon Benson hangs at the north end of the room. P Miss Kiemle, Benson's librarian, has had a great deal of experience in the Benson library, and is a wonderful help to students who spend any time here. The library is the scene of the meetings of the executive board, and many business transactions are made by the student body on Tuesday afternoons.
