FOREWORD The Poly Tech, a product of the graduating class of l948, is more than a mere history of terms-it is a pre- sentation of our school in its entirety. Nothing has been omitted in this account of the school's organizations' activities, classes and faculty. ln addition to the regular curricular activities, there is an intangible spirit, a changeless personality that is the soul of Benson. We wish to remind ourselves that we are a part of a wonderful institution in whose ideals we should rightfully attempt to attain, and Whose guid- ing influence over our young lives will long be remem- bered and appreciated. It is the earnest endeavor of those who have worked hard to publish this book to present to the reader a com- plete picture, by means of furnishing a representation of the true spirit that exists in Benson Polytechnic School. APPRECIATION In every enterprise and endeavor, there are always persons without Whom success could not be obtained. 'We of the staff wish, at this time, in this small manner, to express our deepest gratitude to thesezl The advisors, whose help by suggestions has been invaluable, the photographer, the engraver, and' the printer, without whose technical efficiency, the publication of this book would be virtually an insurmountable task. We of the Poly Tech staff thank you.
