What constitutes a school? Not gilded architrave or pillared hall, Carved stone, or marble pool, Not storied glass whence rich reflections fall, Not picture, map, or book, Not elm shaded walk or playground wide, Not shop or studious nook, Whereto the fond alumnus points with pride. No! Boys, high minded boys, Full of high hope and aspirations high, Who daily know the joys Of treading earth and gazing on the skyg And teachers, too, who prize The daily opportunity to do their work, But, prizing, still despise With calm disdain the hypocrite and shirk. Knowing no other rule Than that just pride which guards its own fair name These constitute a school, Upbuild its honor, and advance its fame. These when they leave its walls, Sustain the lowly, calmly meet the great, And, if stern duty calls, Fill with large deeds the annals of the state.

CLEVELAND Since Benson is a technical school, and many of its graduates become engineers and technicians, We are fortunate in having as our princi- pal, a man who has won the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Electrical Engineer. Mr. Charles E. Cleveland received his B.S. and E.E. degrees in 1906, at University of Oregon. He then spent a year at Cornell University studying Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. In the fall of 1912 he became an instructor in the Electrical Depart- ment of the Portland School of Trades, and the following year he was appointed principal. Later he studied Vocational Education at Columbia University summer school and he has taken much exten- sion work in the Department of Education at Oregon State College. For sixteen years he has proven his efhciency in guiding and building this school, solving its problems with the understanding of a man well trained in technical matters.

Several bronze pins, three silver, and two gold scholar- ship pins have been won by the seniors. A member of this class was the Hrst to receive the special gold scholarship pin. This class was the first to introduce the standard class pin. Two presidents and two treasurers of the student body are among the members- Sixteen of the Executive Board are seniors. The graduates have taken an active part in clubs. for twelve of them have been presidents, four vice- presidents, and six sergeants-at-arms. Forty-one letters have been distributed to the athletes of the class for participation in the sports. VVe hope that some day a senior class may better our record, but until then we shall be recognized as having benefited the most from our school life.

Holden Head of Department M. Neilson HE ornamental sign-frames that now hold the cardboard signs made by the Drawing Department, were made in the Blacksmith Shop. Heretofcire it was sometimes necessary for fresh- men to inquire the whereabouts of various shops, but now the signs point the way. The Blacksmith Shop intends to make more frames for the various locker rooms this term. One hundred stools with iron framework and wooden seats were made in the Blacksmith and VVOOClWO1'klI1g Shops. Seventy-tive more are to be made in the near future. Two hundred cold chisels were also made, and an order for three hundred more will be filled this term. To aid in this work the boys will make about fifty pairs of blacksmith tongs for handling the hot metal in the forges of the shop. Page 33 THE PoLY TECH Electric ' Department Instructors E. A.

Electric Work. 1.r:c'rk1c SHOP students do all the wiring neces- sary in the building, and rewind burnt-out motors for Various shops. This shop has designed a five horse-power, three-phase motor for which the Pattern Shop is making the patterns. The Foundry will cast the parts, and the hfachine Shop will make the dies for the lamina- tions. This shop wired the electric Welder for the Blacksmith Shop. This was a very difficult job. Two motor generator sets and a transformer were wired by electrical students. Some practical house wiring was done in wiring the bungalow and Aviation portables. The Electric Shop also wired some service cabinets for different circuits in the building.. Some new equipment is an automatic bake-oven, a coil former, and various bits of testing equipment. Page 34 THE roLY TE CH Foundry Department Instructors VV. D. Haskell Head of Department C. Hadley AST term the foundry was a busy shop for they cast over seven tons of iron, three hundred forty-four pounds of bronze and sixteen pounds of aluminum. Among some castings made were eight five-hundred pounds imposing stones, five for the Print Shop and three for the Blacksmith Shop. A single casting for the Machine Shop weighed eleven-hundred pounds. Indian club holders and a num- ber of Vises for the School District were made, besides some exercise blocks for the Machine Shop. Fifty tuyers for the Blacksmith Shop Were completed, while a drum sander and a few drill press tables were cast for the Machine Shop. At the present time they are filling an order for a band saw for the Pattern Shop. Page 35 THE POLY TECH Gas Engine and Aviation Department W. A. Pearl Head of Gas Engine and - Aviation Dept. HE Gas Engine Shop, as the name implies, of- fers instruction in all types of gas engines and equipment. Although the major portion of the shop is equipped with automobiles, the equip- ment also includes truck engines, tractors, stationary engines, air- plane motors,'and a crude oil engine. The course is divided into six parts. To the Work of the first term student has been added tire and casing repairing, which is the vul- canizing of tire sections and the repairing of stone bruises. The second term student will have the additional work of brake lining and adjustment. Third and fourth termers study the different type of engines, fuel system, and carburetors. The Work of the fifth term student covers starting, lighting, and ignition, to which will be added this term, battery building and 1'epair. The sixth termer attends to the general shop work and shop orders. Page 36 THE POLY TECH Instructors H. S. Buekman Aviation C. C. Henderson Transmission and Car- buretion C. M. Thomas Chassis and Tire Repair G. A. Urquhart Engines HE Aviation Shop was installed in Benson last term. Its equipment includes a Spad, a Thomas MO1'SC, a Farman, and a De Haviland. The second term students are now taking gas engine work, and the theory of flight, while this term's students are taking aviation. Aviation is closely allied to the study of gas engines, as far as the mechanical part is concerned. It is destined to become the largest field of occupation and advancement.

Battaglia HE Machine Shop is one of the most important shops in schools. All of the castings go through this shop and many parts for various machines are made here daily. The toolmakers are making the tools and dies for the five horse- power motor for the Electric Shop. Five beginners are making man- drels, While the older boys are making dies. One of them is making a tool check die for the Electric Shop. The planer is busy on die blocks for motor dies, and the milling ma- chines are working on tail-stock screws. The lathes are threading vise screws for the VVoodWorking Shop, While the slotter is facing the vise fronts. Page 38 THE POLY TECH Printing ' Department I1zsf1'ucto1's Orley VV. Athey Head of Department YV. H. Hawtin V Composing Room Joseph Hovde Press Room Geo. A. Willis Linotype Exsox riuxr suor is one of the most useful departments in the school. It not only does a good share of the School District's printing, but it also publishes the School Bulletin, The Tech Pep, and the Poly Tech. This department is divided into composing, linotyping, and presswork. In the composing room, the student is given a standard course of printing in which he learns the history and value of fine typography. VVritten lessons and some composing are necessary in this division. Students in the linotype department must first learn the correct iingering of the ninety keys. Speed as well as accuracy is necessary. Press Work students must know how to make-ready the jobs for the presses. They must also be able to mix inks, and to feed the presses properly. Page 39 THE POLY TECH Sheet Metal and Plumbing Department G. Drynan Head of Plumbing and Sheet Metal Departments T is up to the Sheet Metal Shop to supply guards for machines, and repair and make garbage cans and other ar- ticles where sheet metal is needed. After they have mastered the art of Welding and soldering, the students of this shop make funnels and ornamental articles from blue prints. They make many useful house- hold utensils, and are instructed in the use of the oxy-acetylene torch. Among some of the jobs done last term were a blower system in the Gas Engine Shop, and some work in the Cafeteria. Page 40 POLY TECH Instructors l Edwin Widmer Plumbing LUMBING sHoP students have taken c a 1' e of several jobs in different departments and shops. Among those worthy of note are the following: plumbing of the Ben Tech bunga- lowg the air line to the Electric and Woodworking Shopsg connecting the steam and returns from the vulcanizer in the Gas Engine Shopg and the steam and water connections to the paper machine which was on display in the Engine Room during the Tech Show. This work is a fine example of what application and industry will accomplish for the student. The Plumbing Shop is in receipt of a new allotment of pipeg fittings, and tools, which makes possible a wider range of shop practice. Page 41 THE POLY TECH Woodxtforking S Department I nstrueto rs F.

Last term four fourteen-foot tables were constructed for the Electric Shop students to write upon, and two more tables will be made this term. Some woodworking was done for the Aviation Department. Several fine woodworking benches were also made. Several more cabinets will be made for the Print Shop, and some furniture and built-ins for the modern bungalow will also be con- structed.

It also has a two-hundred ampere Western Electric phonograph pick-up. The city league games are broadcast by direct wire from Multnomah Stadium, and Mr. Krieger, Mr. Athey, or Mr. Brown was the announcer. These games are announced from the press box above the stadium, and with the help of Mr. Allingham, chief operator. Numerous musical programs were broadcast, and phonograph records were usually played before and after a game. The station also broadcast the National Educational Week program and Know Your School programs. Out of thirty-seven school days the station broadcast thirty-two times between September 30, 1929, and November 15, 1929. On Monday, November 25, a noon broadcast from 12 to 12:30 was started. This daily program will be the means of informing people of Portland just what the schools are accomplishing. Page 44 llTfIIAIlY THE POLY TECH O'KEEN TAKES CHARGE By KEITH CLAYTON ALBER SKEETS O,KEEN always did have the best of luck. Here were thirty boys waiting for an after-school job and he got it. He was only a G student but Lady Luck had been with him this day. Benson had many calls for good boys but this one was out of the ordinary as the call came from the big Eastern Ship- ping Line. The Portland officials of the company were nearly al- ways pleased with the young men from the trade school and there was advancement for any boy who proved his work satisfactory. All the boys had been fully in- structed on this fact long ago by Mr. VVatson, the teacher, for he never tired of telling about one of his successful graduates, Ed- ward Crough. This ex-Bensonite had been offered a job with the same company five years ago. It was after-school work, but a year later when he graduated he stepped right into line for promo- tion. He now held down a job as boss on one of the loading docks. Groans and the sound of grit- ing teeth could be heard to pass more than one boyis lips as the electrical instructor called out Skeets' name. The honorable lNIr. O'Keen rose from his seat in the lecture room and cleared his throat ceremoniously. You will report immediately after school, instructed the teacher. lNIr. Crouch will show you what to dof, 'cYes, sir, answered Skeets and wedged himself back down in his chair. He was of medium height but of husky build and weighed a good hundred and seventy pounds. His short cropped hair had a slight tendency to stand straight up. Perhaps it derived its dry, unruly look from O,Keen's regular swimming. 'EDO you want to make the ex- tra two dollars?U Crouch was ask- ing of Skeets. The latter had just finished work on a large electric motor and he was ready to go home when Mr. Crouch came, wanting him to help work the pumps for the river diver. VVhere there is a couple of dol- lars hanging around loose youill Page 45 THE POLY TECH find mef' laughed Skeets. This is easy, just doing a little pump- ing for an hour. Come ong we have got to get those copper bars before it is too dark to work. HIS that what was lost? 'fSix five-thousand pound bars were dropped over the side of the ship about half an hour ago while it was being unloaded to the dock. O'Keen followed Crouch down a ladder that hung over the cement water front. He swung easily with his arms to the floating platform below. Crouch was taking a nar- it as soon as l got into the water. Say, Crouch, don't forget to bring me up slow because this water is different on a fellow when it's so cold. I'll be up in not more than an hour and a half. The helmet was then brought forward and set on his head. Skeets took a place at the air pump beside another fellow, two being on each side. The hose was attached to the helmet and the diver nodded his head. The rub- ber hose gradually began to un- wind on the small windlass as he descended. This is a cinehf' exclaimed row way on a row of logs to a dredge where a diving outfit had been temporarily installed. The diver was in harness except for the huge helmet and was placidly smoking a cigarette. All right, Thompsonf' Crouch cried to the diver as he neared the dredge. The diver was swung to his feet by three assistants and practically carried to the side of the barge. Once in the water he moved un- hampered except for the bulge of the rubber suit. He slowly de- scended until the water rippled up around his shoulders. As Skeets came up he heard Thompson mutter: VVowie, but this water sure is cold in November. I could feel Skeets to himself as he started working the pumps. The work was comparatively easy and they strained not a mus- cle as they worked the pump at a regular motion. The cable hold- ing the diver had let out some fifteen feet now. It was then that the pumping began to become harder. More exertion was put forth and Skeets began to realize that if Crouch expected the men to work these pumps from an hour to an hour and a half he was all wrong. Bubbles were gurgling up out of the water where the diver had disappearedg the men at the wind- lass who were lowering him turned the heavy rope wound axle slowlyg everything seemed all right. But Page 46 THE POLY TECH Skeets O'Keen had a feeling that something was going to happen, it was just one of those feelings as people call it- a feeling in the bonesf, However, the work was new to him and anything out of the usual routine of the work might make him excited. Below, in the murky depth of the river and ever aware of any new currents in the water, the diver was making preparations for reaching the bottom of the river. He increased the air pres- sure in his suit as he went farther under the surface, for a human being's body could not expect to uphold the half ton added weight for every foot of water that came between his head and the top. The suit bulged out and made him look bulky, and the water pressure became so great that he could move his fifteen pound shoes without so much difficulty, and the thirty pound belt at his waist merely felt like an over-tight strap. Once on the bottom he began poking through the thick mud of the river bed endeavoring to lo- cate the lost copper bars. Each step, each groping poke with his hands stirred up a dark murky fog that drifted with the flow of current. He finally succeeded in finding a bar buried three or four feet under the sand and at once called up through a phone at- tached to the helmet to Crouch on the barge above, who was look- ing over the side with ear phones and mouthpiece clamped to his head. A large hook with a small and light aluminum shovel with a torch was at once sent down. Fifteen minutes later the large copper bar was swung clear of the water to be lowered with a jerking sway to the deck of the dredge. A half an hour had passed. The steady Swish, swish of the pumps was beginning to beat mo- notonously on Skeets' brain. He had that sensation in his stomach that only comes with a good ap- petite of a healthy youth. In a half-dazed manner he looked vaguely about him while keeping time with the up and down mo- tion. The soft twilight of the autumn day was stealing over the velvety surface of the Willamette River. The donkey engine being used for the construction of a new dock on the river side had ceased its sighing. A river steamer was wait- ing with slowly reversed turning paddle Wheel against the current at the steel bridge for the six- thirty whistle to blow that the great span might open. The last tug boat towing its raft of logs was chugging up the river toward the saw mill. Page 4 4 THE POLY TECH L'Take rover the phone for a while, O'Keen,U Crouch cried in his ear. You look fairly tired. In about fifteen more minutes you can relieve one of the other fel- lows. 'gDon,t be afraid to do a little joking with Thompsong it keeps him calm. He is having a hard time and a good word now and then will help him to keep up his courage. Skeets gave up his place at the pump and ad usted the earphones to his head. The chug of tug boat and river steamer were at once ' - Q roar If you had a policeman's feet you wonldn't have to worry about slipping. Is zat so? lNIy little brother is a cop and he wears only size fourteen, came the laughing re- ply f rom below. i You know there is one advantage to river diving over ocean diving. What's that?', It ,ainit so far to the other side. Hey! My-. The ejaculation was cut short and he heard a gasping sound as of one breathing hard. What's the matter d own there?,' became audible. A faint voice that seemed ever so far away and dim came to him instead. Back at the phonesf, came Tho1nps'on's voice. 4'Yep,,' answered Skeets and a surge of pride soared up in him. That man down there was de- pending on them up here for his life, for did they not pump him air and pull him up at the given signal. He would try to justify that confidence by carrying out his share of the work to the best of his ability. The voice from below sounded against his ear drum.: It's getting pretty dark down here and I am running into a lot of new currents. Itis all I can do to keep my feetf, VVhy donit you come down and find outf' came the short reply. One of those currents-it caught me and pushed me under a hole-I don't know where I am. There is something above me -itis a piece of an old boat. Is there anything you want us to do? q u iv e r e d Skeets. '4VVant us to pull you in? Just hold the rope and hose tight until I get out of this hole. 1 might be trapped for a little while but I don't think it's any- thing serious. The heavy current is beginning to wash some of this dirt and stuff over on top of me. 'cFind the shovel and dig your- self out. Thanks Now shut up for awhilef' Page 48 THE POLY TECH Clapping his hand over the mouthpiece, O'Keen told what had happened. Crouch gave a startled cry and rushed for the telephone in the ofiice of the dredge. The others put f o rt h more power to make up for the loss of Crouch at the pumps. All that Skeets could hear now was the panting of the diver some- where in the water below. Thomp- son was working for his life as he pushed the falling mud back out of the hole or shoved it back of' him for a brace. He was mak- ing a little headway. Crouch came out of the ofiice, his face tense. 'fCan you take charge until I go up and phone from above to the fire boat for help? he said. uI'll send another crew of' men down to help on the pump. He was off, scrambling over the logs and clambering up the ladder and out of sight. A breeze was springing up over the water and it ruffled coldly up O'Keen's back, but he paid no heed to it. Iiis strained ears were waiting for the first words from the diver below. He stood still, not even a muscle of his face moving. At last he got the Word. 'cfm out. Out! Out of the hole or out of your mind ?', laughed the youth into the phone as he walked closer to the edge of the barge along the hose. Suddenly the man's voice from below rung out like a pistol shot: 'gAir! the air is shut off! Be- hind Skeets the pump was still swishing and he carried the fact to the man below shifting on his leg which was braced against a prop. The hose has been caught or doubled over somewhere, came the faint reply. Skeets O'Keen scrutinized the length of the hose from where it came out of the water to where it wound up on the little windlass. Somewhere under water perhaps the air was stopped. Skeets saw Crouch coming back over the logs and yelling. Casting the phone from him and kicking off his heavy work shoes, Skeets dove head first into the water. Kicking his feet and pulling him- self deeper under the water with a breast stroke he followed the white line of the hose. The shock of the cold water had stunned him a little when he first struck the icy liquidg however, he staved off the cold by working his arms and legs faster. Closer he worked to there was no kink in it that would that thin line of hose but still stop the air. A dizziness was com- ing over l1in1 and he blew in his Page 49 THE POLY TECH cars to try to eliminate the buzz- ing sound in them. Down, down, until the deep green color of the water was turn- ing to a yellowish brown. Down, down, until he could barely make out the white thread of rubber hose. But he must go down until he found the kink, 'fThat diver was depending on the men above. He must be down at least thirty feet now. He could see the bubbles from the diveris helmet coming from some place. Maybe, the air hose had been temporarily plugged and air had got through self, the youth found the features of Crouch standing as though in a foggy dream above him. Every- thing was white-a hospital. Great stunt y o u p u l l e d O'Keen,,' Crouch smiled. And a great kid alsof' The sick Bensonite looked up at his boss in a vacant stare as though not quite comprehending the meaning. 'cThey are going to give you a better job and raise in salary --the big bosses-and I am not going to stop them. The workmen on the barge thought that you actually dove down there and got all right now. He wavered a mo- ment and it was enough to send his buoyant body shooting toward the top. His lungs were bursting for want of air. It was getting lighter now in the waterg he was nearing the top. But he still kept going up and he did not break out through the surface. The water was turning to a white fog when he passed under a shadow and came up beside the barge. He was greeted with a shout from the men and as he took in a gasp of fresh air his lungs ex- panded to such an extent he felt sure' that they must burst. The men standing on the side of the barge began to reel aboutg then Skeets O,Keen lost consciousness. When he again came to him- a kink out of the hose-andfl am not going to change their idea about it because it was a great stunt you pulled. How do you know what I did under the water? You weren't down there, too? VVere you? Of course not. But it was your lucky day and I was the only one who saw what really happened. The air supply through the hose was not cut off below the water, but above.', f'Mr. Crouch, just what do you mean?,' I mean that at the diver's depth of forty feet it took a great deal of air pressure to force down into that suit. The men at the pumps were practically exhausted and had slowed down to such an Page 50 THE POLY TECH extent that the pressure could not keep the valve open. It closed, thus cutting off the air. Did you get Thompson out soon enough? f'No, we couldnit have got him out in timeg but I had brought from the office a crew 'of men and set them on the pump im- mediately. They f' o r c e d a i r through the valve just on the min- ute to save Thompson. Well, I am glad that Thomp- son was saved. All I derived out of the affair was a good cold and two dollars for this hospital bill. Don,t let any bills trouble you. The company will settle them and as to whether you were rewarded for your efforts you can decide that yourself. Thomp- son learned of your effort for him and he immediately pro- moted you to the job of his as- sistantf' In that matter, I guess, I was rewarded.

She takes a sniff at all the breeches, legs that she comes in reach of and although this method inthe kind of soap-suds that only janitors know how to make. Anyway she was christened BubblesH. Bubbles might be a janitor, at least she doesnit protest when called one, but don't think for a minute that she spends all of her time in the room where the brooms and the buckets and the ,mops are kept. No, Sir! She is a very active and patriotic Bensonite. She roams all over the school and even attends classes if some worthy member of the faculty doesn't interfere. If she does suc- ceed in gaining admittance, she sits very quietly under a seat and thinks about what is being said. But what she is thinking of no one knows. differs s o m e w h a t from that used by Diogenes, the effect is similar. She has never found one pair that satisfied, although I have seen her take a second sniff at the breeches' leg of an all E student, only to turn sadly away, disappointed. I don't believe she as much as glanced at my legs. As for technical learning I be- lieve Bubbles is as well equipped as any of us. She has an intense hatred for boilers when they blow- off. I am not sure that she can read gauges, but when they reach 185 pounds, all you can see of Bubbles is her hindquarters bouncing up the boiler-room steps, three at a time. Also she knows just which bells signify the end of the periods, and you Page 52' THE POLY TECH seldom see her in the halls while the crowds of boys are hurrying to their classes and you never see her in the hall that leads to the Cafeteria at the beginning of the lunch periods. She has 'learned how futile are her attempts to dodge the feet of that thundering herd, and although it wouldnlt be possible to have her tail stepped on, her feet are just as sensitive to thick-soled shoes. It is much more important to her, too, not to get her toes stepped on as she already limps. I should like to hear her phi- losophy of life. She would make a tireless student because I doubt if she ever sleeps. At night she f o l l o W s the watchman on his rounds, and barks at the moon, and at six thirty each morning she welcomes each one of us with her peculiar little bark, as wide- eyed as any of us and much more so than most of us. She could tell us many stories that she has heard from abused lathes, chis els, shapers, and other tools with which I have no doubt she has had many interesting conversations. I suppose she has learned more of the real character of Benson boys from these instruments than the oldest faculty member has through experience. She has heard what different types of boys say when a blow with a heavy hammer de- scends on an unsuspecting thumb instead of the head of a chisel at which it was aimed, or how an anvil feels when it gets a blow on its hard smooth face that was in- tended for a hot piece of iron, also, what a 'iathe 'thinks of a boy who operates the cross-slide feed too fast causing the tool to chatter on a piece of 'work that would otherwise have been well done. I have my doubts whether Bubbles gets much out of fre- q u e n c y, resonance, hysteresis, scalor and vector quantities, series and parallel circuits containing in- ductance and capacitance, a n d connections of watt hour meters e v e n though she has attended classes in the theory department, because by the end of a period even the f e l l 0 w s performing the experiments show signs of in- tense fatigue caused simply by the enormous test to which their supe- rior brainpower has been put. In the years to come, Bubbles should gain for herself the distinction of being the leading dog scientist in the world. Many Benson graduates will remember the little supposed-to- be white dog that trotted though the halls with a peculiar side-wise gait, and doubtless when they re- turn for a visit they will inquire about, and look around for Bub- bles. Page 53 THE POLY TECH ATRY OUT FOR THE ENDURANCE RECORD By IJAVVRENCE T. NELSON Two PORTLAND Bovs TO TRY ron THE ENDURANCE RECORD was the headline that greeted my eyes that morning as I was eating breakfast. Jimmy and I hoped that the newspapers would not the Endurance Record if Lady Luck was with us. I found Jimmy, and he and I Went all over the ship to see if We could find anything notice- able to the human eye that could get hold of it, but they had, and it was no use raising a fuss about it. It was pretty hard to sit still, even to eat my breakfast, but Jimmy made me, and I was glad of it, because I was soon to find out that it was harder than I had expected to hold up under the strain. I finished breakfast in short order and hurried to the field, probably breaking several rules of speed limit on my way. There Wasnit much to do at the field, as the mechanics did all the gassing-up and greasing. When I arrived, they had the ship rolled out on the field, and it made me feel funny in the pit of my stom- ach to see the ship standing there that would probably take us to possibly 135 us down in the middle of our Hight. VVe Went over the ship three times before Jimmy pronounced it OK. The VVright mechanic also said the motor Was OK and tuned as nicely as he could tune it. There Was a ceiling of about 3,000 feet an d We thought it improbable that a heavy fog would roll in on us, so We decided to leave at once. We thought it best to fill the tank half-full at the start and then give a half load every five and a half hours during the day and a full load at night, which would make it possible to stay up eleven hours at the most, and then it would be light enough to re- fuel in the morning. We Would take on oil Whenever necessary. Page 54 THE POLY TECH Jimmy and I were to take the stick at four hour intervals, in this way, getting plenty of sleep and 1'CSt before taking on the next watch. The ship we were using was a large Cessna Monoplane with a three hundred horsepower whirl- wind engine. The gas tanks had been installed the week before, and tested to be sure that there could be no leaks. There also was a wabble pump connected with the main and the reserve tanks to pump gas. By this time the motor was warmed up, and we prepared to hop off. A coin was tossed to see who should take the first shift and I won with tails. We climbed into the seats that are located in a side by side position, both of them being arranged so as to fold back and make a bed. The mechanic removed the chocks and I taxied to the run- way, where I tried out the controls for about the fifth time. The in- struments were OK, so I decided to start. I pushed the throttle full on and eased forward on the stick. The tail soon left the ground, and it was easy from then on. I circled the field at about one thousand feet, waiting, that was all the whole flight was to be anyway. The ship was the nicest flying ship I have ever flown, and after a few hours I seemed to be part of it. VVe had laid out a course be- tween VVichita and Kansas City, thus it would not become so mo- notonous flying. August 2nd. Everthing OK. .I im m y still sleeping. He had to fix a spark plug last night. The food we had was sure swell. Motor leaking oil an little, but I don't think it will amount to much. August 3rd, Things look fine. .Timmy has just taken the shift, and the re- fuelling plane is coming up from the south to give us a tank of gas- oline. The last time half the gas spilled on meg it was pretty rough and Jimmy was having a hard time keeping the ship steady. August ffth. Motor getting a little rough. I donit think it will last mu ch longer. Oil is spattering on the windshield. Had to have help to wipe it off. Guess the trouble is in the pump. August 5th, Oil pressure has dropped too low and motor' is starting to heat upg Well, I guess it is blotto for us. The only place that looks good to land in is a barnyard. Jimmy took the stick and tried his best to set it d o wn without Page 55 THE POLY TECH cracking up. He had to slip in, and in doing so the wing caught on a fence post. The nose settled, and then the lights went out. IVhen I woke up I had a piece of tubing wrapped around my neck and my feet were up against the hot motor. Jimmy came to just as I did and we helped each other out as best we could. The ship was hopeless, smashed be- yond all repair. It was certainly tough luck, after having been up 120 hours, to have this happen. VVell, I guess it will be a little harder than we thought it would be to break the record the other two boys had set, but it can be done and someone will do it. Luck didn,t happen to be with us this time, but who knows. Sic semper fidelis. GNMFD QJWKD HOW TO THROWA DANCE ACT I SCENE: Groups of students Ialking in the front hall of the school.

Upon the hearths the wood fires glow, Hi-ho for winter cheer, And young folks gather far and Wide, To greet the new born year. - And lNIr.

C It wonit be long until the snow Is gone, and Spring is here, With sprouts of green on tree and shrub, And skies again are clear. Page 59 THE POLY TECH .B.P. . Fon TWENTY-oNE YEARS we have grown. In 1908, when the old Port- land School of Trades was organized, the courses offered were not extensive and the building was small. A generous citizen, Simon Benson, realizing the value of such a school to the city, gave one hundred thousand dollars toward the construction of a new build- ing. In his honor the school now bears the name Benson',. Since receiving his aid in 1916, the school has steadily increased in pop- . .7 .1mwii.l . . school west of the Mississippi. We, the students of Benson, are justly proud of its leadership. Our radio station KFIF, originally owned by W. P. Hawley under the call letters KGY, was one of the first in the Northwest. The Tech Pepv, our paper, inaugurated September 21, 1920, has de- veloped under the direction of eighteen successive editors until last year it was judged the best high school paper in Oregon. Our trophy case is over-flowing. Soccer championships are produced with re- gularity as are wrestling championships. In the major sports the orange and blue has been successful. The state and city track cham- pionships have been added to our collection. Finally under the lead- ership of Coach Bell the football trophy for 1928 has been brought to Benson. During these twenty-one years, traditions of honor and beauty have been established which constitute what is known as Benson spirit. To every loyal Bensonite falls the task of preserving them and of passing them on in their original truth so that B. P. S. may ever lead the schools of the West.

Bell. What was their idea? . Washington had made a fluke touchdown after they had been beaten off their feet by the Tech team. But did the Bellmen quit? I'1l say not. Thunder and lightning, not to mention the Washington line, could not hold the boys, fighting for the Orange and Blue, and as a result, the grandest comeback in the history of Benson football was witnessed. The coach builds up that unbeatable spirit. That strong passionate desire to do or die, must come from him, and it does. Coach Clarence V. Bell's teams portray his own fighting spirit. Just look at his record since he has been at Benson. The first year, with green material, he took sixth place. The second year, he placed third, and the third year, the coveted championship was brought to Benson. The fourth year, we placed a very close third. Some record! Especially for a school that had never won very many games in the past. It is this kind of spirit that Bell has had all along while coaching for Benson, or while playing for O. S. C. He played fullback for three years, and it was one of those years that O. S. C. won the Northwest Championship. So-here's nine to Coach Bell! Make 'em big! More power to you, and good luck next year!

The Tillamook aggregation f o u g h t cause along by making good the try for point. In the third quarter, Biancone relieved the scorekeepers of inaction by making another touchdown. The features of the game were sup- were they able to worry the proteges of Clarence Bell. Biancone led off in scoring in the first quarter after making a long end rung he failed to convert the kick. Brise followed his example in the second quarter by plugging the line for six more points. Biancone helped the plied'by Biancone's broken ' , Brice's and Endicott's line plunging and interference. While on the line, Weiss, McKeown, Morse, Pullen, and Rosenstiel were holding the Cheesemakers in their tracks. For Tillamook, Meehan, right half- back, shone with his broken field run- ning.

Jefferson was barely able to stop the powerful march of the Benson team for the first half of the game. In the second half, Benson became a fighting demon, and also an unstoppable one. Biancone intercepted a Jefferson pass and was downed on the one-yard line. It was a simple task to put it through from there. The try for point failed. Fields Kirby Butch Morse intercepted a pass for the next score. Biancone converted. Biancone pulled a touchdown from a Jeff punt, and then converted. This run was a 65 yard one which brought the spectators out 0 their seats. Biancone again made a beautiful '67 yard run for another touchdown, and then was taken out of the game for a much needed rest. The Benson line and backfield ran like clockwork and was not once befuddled on difficult plays and stopped everything that Jefferson tried. Biancone fakes a pass. Page 71 THE POLY TECH MacK ay 4 Goldsmith BENSON fl 3j-FRANKLIN C61 The Quakers came back this year with a fighting aggregation, all hopped up and determined to beat Benson. But, unlike last year's close game, it was too much Benson from start to finish in the 1929 contest. After a brilliant exchange of punts, Biancone made a 23 yard return to the Franklin 17 yard line, where he stepped out, trying to evade the Quaker tacklers. On the 17 yard line, Johnny pulled a reverse fake pass which was good for the score. Just to show them that that wasn't all, he put the ball between Wright Larson the goal post, where it belonged, on the try for point. Ater the kickoff, both teams fell back to a punting duel, which ended suddenly in a 34+ yard run by Biancone. Again Biancone looked as though he might pass, s ' I S f0'l'-EBC S'CC9'Hd touchdown. Brise hit the line like a ton of bricks for the try for point. Franklin scored a touchdown in the second half of the game when the Ben- son team was composed of substitutes. Even though the Techmen were green, they had the right idea, for they blocked the try for point. So ended the game. Brise takes the ball thru Franklin. Page 72 THE POLY TECH H ubler Lansky Campbell Gault Morse BENSON CIQJTROOSEVELT COD In a game that showed all Benson, the Tech team took the measure of the Roosevelt Roughriders to the tune of 19 to 0. The Teddies tried gamely to gain against Benson, but their efforts were futile. Benson smothered their line plays for losses, broke up the aerial attack con- sistently, and went where they willed. When on Roosevelt's 14 yard line, Biancone stepped through right tackle and went unmolested to the goal for Ben- son's initial touchdown. John's kick for point was good. Biancone came to the front again with a beautiful 25 yard run for tl1e second touchdown. Christianson's plunge for point failed by a few short inches. Toward the end of the second quarter, Christianson returned a kickoff from the Benson's 13 yard line to the Roosevelt's 12, where he was overhauled by a speedy Roughrider. Perfect interference was the feature of the 75 yard return. Biancone became restless, decided to take it over, and did. In the second half, Benson wrapped up and played its substitutes. Biancone brought down after a long gain.

The try for point was good. Then Benson started working. It smothered all of Linc0ln's passing, and threw their line plays for losses. While on offense, the boys ripped great holes in Lincoln's forwagi wall for consistent utes of play. Benson had a tough break when it punted from its 2 yard line to its 12. Lincoln finally got the ball over for a touchdown but those precious 12 yards were heroically fought by the Tech boys. The kicker was rushed, resulting in a failure for the try for point. The next touchdown was made by Lin- coln after a great aerial attack which gains. Finally Biancone, tired of line plunging, flipped a pass to Christiansen, who ran for twelve yards for a touch- down. Biancone's educated toe placed the ball between the goal post for another point. Although Benson was on the short end of the score, it was not outfought or out- gamed.

Commerce scored early in the first quarter, when O'Connell tried to come through right tackle, but finding no hole, swung out to the side lines, and after dodging one Benson back, outran the re- mainder for a total of 77 yards. Benson stiffened and upset the try for point. In the second quarter, Commerce played good football for one touchdown and then received another break, when the referee called Benson for roughing on the Benson 16 yard line, placing the ball on the 1 yard line with 4 downs to make it in. BENSON C121-GRANT CGD Benson's scrappy team snapped from behind a six-point lead with its accus- tomed dash to down Grant in a hard fought game 12 to 6. Grant scored early from a lucky break, when Johnny Bian- cone fumbled on the Tech's own twenty- one yard line. From there to the Benson's goal line was a matter of hard fight and a thrilling run by Cannady. The Benson line stiffened and rushed Voltz so hard Christianson Brise that he missed the try for point. With a six-point defeat looking at them, the Tech team got down to hard work to show its customers some classy football. Biancone gathered in a punt and did the sensational by reversing the field twice for a touchdown, the run being a 48 yard sprint. The try for point failed. Morse, Benson guard, blocked a Grant kick which Woodbury, Benson end, re- covered. This was the start of the second touchdown which came a few plays later. Again the try for point failed. The Ben- son line showed its fight and glorious strength by holding the hard plunging Grant backs on N the Benson six- inch line for four d0wns,and there lighting clear of danger. VV y s s, tackle.

It was a fast and furious game with Benson carrying attempting their Armistice Day tactics The Benson line and backfield worked together in championship form, punch- ing the mighty Colonial defense deep into its own territory consistently. For three quarters the furious battle waged, and then the break came. Arnold Heikenen, Washington's full- Rosenstiel Jones back, gathered in a stray pass and ran 65 yards for a touchdown with Jerome Gault, Benson's guard, just one step be- hind. Acheson booted the pigskin over for the point. Then things happened. Benson unleashed her great power and gg: gn I- I .l 4' Olfl l Washington's 12 yard line, and there lost the ball on downs. Washington's attempt to punt went astray and a Benson man recovered on the 13 yard line. In three short plays, Benson had the pigskin roosting on the safe side of the goal line. Biancone made good the try for point. Norstrum J ester Cross Southwell Page 76 THE POLY TECH Benson Us Washington First Half xx X Q5 Q TM-.. .... ., H -J X? X ..T..NTT.

Page 79 THE POLY TECH The Second Team BY BILL J. Mzizzocco Benson's football babes, under the excellent tutelage of Mr. Har- greaves, made a wonderful record for the 1929 season, winning six games out of seven starts. The team possessed a line which featured in every engagement, and the backfield worked smoothly all season. The seconds opened the grid season against the strong Vancouver, Washington, team. After a strenuous struggle the Orange boys shoved across two touchdowns and held the opposition from threatening. MacPherson, star quarterback, who was ineligible for the first team, scored both touchdowns, one on a 30-yard end run and the other on a 20-yard smash through center. The Roosevelt Teddies fell by the wayside when they engaged the Poly Tech yearlings and the final score was 141-6. MacPherson again took individual honors by tallying twice, once on a 60-yard run after intercepting a pass, and the other on an end run. The Colonial babes ended the Benson Winning ways with a 13-6 win in the third battle. Mac chalked up the Mechanic's only marker and Benson averted a shutout. Smarting under the Colonial defeat, the Techmen smothered their next rivals, the Stenogs. MacPherson routed the Penpushers by traversing into point-scoring area four times. Goldsmith, Tech line plunger, smashed his way for two touchdowns, and Smith scored once. Eager to avenge their defeat, the Techs refought the Washingtonians and emerged triumphant, 13-0. Goldsmith and Smith made the Ben- son touchdowns. After being forced to trail the Grant Generals for the first part of the game, the Mechanics went wild and forged ahead. The final count was 19-13, Mac accounting for two scores and Goldsmith one. The coming stars closed the season against Vancouver with a 13-0 win. The Techs showed their supremecy in all departments of the game. Arson, Goldhammer, Probst, Gish, Carpenter, Hoffman, and Gillis were the stellar performers on the forward wall, while the smooth- working backfield of MacPherson, Goldsmith, Hostetler, Cox, and Smith was as good as any in the city. MacPherson will not be able to play next year becauses of in- eligibility. Page 80 l-- '.L -..- .------ l 1 ACTIVITIES M, . , if . 1' -.Kw, :' nf , n. - Q W ,' , Wg.
