This spirit will live forever in the hearts of the men and women who created it. After a short year and half, many of us will be leaving Polytechnic. For some, this will be the last school activities, and for others the doors of colleges and uni- versities will be open. Life at Poly is over, but the spirit of Poly will live for- ever in our hearts. of - fy 1 wp P ,FK VJ Y ff, PJ M ,S jf W, I' . . M 9' M f i5 . ff' jj' ,jf X, - 01 1 J jjj!

In the short year and a half, a rapid growth took place, and a multi-million dollar architectural dream was born where recently was an almost empty field. Above are pictures of Mr. Lewis and the contractor checking blueprints of our school. Also shown is a stage during construction. The dream of Poly first started to be- come a reality when john H. Francis became head of the Commercial Depart- ment of Los Angeles High School. Poly- technic opened its doors in 1905, as the second high school in the city, and with a student body of a thousand. That year the Polytechnic Student was born, and with it the spirit of Poly. 4 I I The physical features of the school include a large central Poly- gon. Spreading from it are the classrooms. Directly behind it is the cafetorium, teachers' cafeteria, student store, and the cave. Other structures included both the boys' and girls' gyms, the library, and the administration building. In the near future an auditorium will be added. Due to industrial and commer- cial development, Polytechnic High School chose a new home in the San Fernando Valley. In 1954 blueprints for the new Poly were completed, and construction began in September. In 1955, the old school closed its doors. In the winter of 1956, new Poly opened its doors to carry on the traditions and spirit of the old Poly. We have seen Poly from all angles, from the air, during construc- tion, and now, almost completed, but no school is complete without students. Poly's students were chosen from most of the high schools in the valley. Many came from Verdugo Hills, some were students at North Hollywood, others have memories of their days at Birm- ingham, San Fernando, or Reseda. The first semester was spent in making friends and learning the Poly way. This past year we have put the Poly Way, Victory with Honor, to use. Each of us has done his share in re-building Poly and its spirit. At the first of the year the yearbook staff took a great deal of time and gave a lot of thought to the name of the year- book. Many staff members were in favor of changing from the Polytechnic Student to some other name. Others felt since the school kept the name and tradition of old Poly the yearbook should be the same. Finally we came to a compromise, the name was left the same only shortened to the Poly Student. Con fQlfl fri Cl,Cbl,hg and g0UQl I'lI'l'lQl'lf eniom OLUQI' diirfefi 670165 ana!

The principal of a large, new school must be a man of ability and leadership. Mr. Lewis is a man of such qualities, he has won the admiration and respect of both students and faculty. A wise and fair administrator, he has shown a great and sincere interest in all our school activities, and has encouraged fine sportsmanship and leadership. Since the opening of our school, and during the months before its opening, Mr. Lewis has spent long hours plan- ning, guiding and fighting to gain the very best for Poly. Mrs, Hazel Blanc, Girls' Vice Principal: one of the busiest people on campus, Mrs. Blanc has become a close and true friend to every girl. She makes it her duty to know and understand each girl's problems. Mr. james Taylor, Boys' Vice Principal: Mr. Taylor came to us from Hamilton High last semester, and has rapidly become a familiar face around Poly. The boys on campus have come to know him as a friendly and sincere advisor, whose main interest is their activities.

Field trips and participation in v a r 1 o u s speech tournaments are some of the activities that rounded out the French Clubls school year. Mr. Mayer is the spon- sor. Dick Crowell Yearbook Editor Annual Staff MYS- Shaw, Yearbovk AdViS01' Busy Days well explained the time spent by the annual staff. One day, toward the end of April, the Little Blue Man visited the staff for a sneak preview of the Poly Student. He found before him a strange scene indeed. Staff members, ponderous ex- pressions on their faces, were gathered around a long table. Surrounded by multitudes of photographs and scratch paper, they were deeply engrossed in measuring, cutting, pasting, writing, and typing. The little blue man overheard remarks concerning the approaching deadline and of all the work that was still unfinished. Mrs. Shaw, advisor of the Poly Student, told the Little Blue Man that this day was no exception in the life of the staff members. The Poly Student staff spends many hours striving to bring the students of Poly the finest annual possible. The Poly Student will serve the students as a record of their activities during the three years they spend in high school. It is indeed a book that will be treasured in the years to come. Q E ?

They started the season with a com- pletely green team. The first practice games showed their inexperience, but they were learning rapidly, which they proved when they met and defeated San Fernando in the Milk Bowl game. They went into the league games with new confidence. They lost all their league games, but showed their ability to play. The Seniors ended their football careers in the traditional Blue and Gold game, where they de- feated the under-classmen.

Because of a tie in the Northern League for second place, the Parrots were dropped out of chances for the city basketball tour- nament.

Gathering momentum as the season progressed, the Parrots swamped Garfield and Roosevelt by overwhelming scores. The big guns in the Parrot line-up are Tom Petersen, Norman Husk, Bill Taylor, and Jim Blust. A S 1 fi ,I L, 'v-Q... The spring '58 Poly swim team was a new and inexperienced one. For a team that didnlt have anyone who had ever competed in a meet before, they showed great promise. The Bee's showed great hope and will be very valuable next year. What they lacked in ability they made up in effort and work. The 1958 golf team was Poly's first, and was organized in preparation for next year's Valley League competition. They did not compete in dual matches this season, primarily due to the inex- perience of their team. Since the Val- ley League has the only organized golf program in Los Angeles City, they are looking forward to next year when they can compete as a regular member. Most of the boys have improved a great deal since the beginning of the season and have learned a lot about the game of golf. Their success in next year's league competition will depend on whether or not they can produce six capable and consistent golfers by March of 1959. wimming QW i 1 I l !

The purpose of G.A.A. is to learn new athletic skills and practice old ones, to work as a team, and above all, to promote and practice fair play and good sportsmanship. Some of the G.A.A. activities are enthusiastic rallies, play days with other schools, and banquets. Recently Poly sponsored a play day which three other schools attended. Letters are earned by girls who meet the requirements. Other awards are also given, such as the Girl of the Year award. It is given to the girl who shows the most enthusiasm, sportsmanship, friendly cooperation, and loyalty to the Poly G.A.A. She is elected by the members, semi-annually. Each semester is climaxed by a Mother-Daughter Banquet held to honor the new lettergirls and the other girls receiving awards. The highlight of the evening comes when the old and new officers are introduced and the new ones are installed. To date there have been three banquets, all very successful. Girls may join by attending the semi-annual get-acquainted meeting held at the beginning of each semester, sign up for a sport and you're in! A few of the sports offered are badminton, tennis, baseball, modern dance, volleyball.
