PREFACE To set a mark on a years history of Polytechnic High School by which all students may remember it — that is the purpose of this yearbook as of all other yearbooks. But the special effort of this one has been to take a new slant on the life of Poly, to play up one side — the side that concerns the ways m which students, as the campus says, work off steam . For the first time,, Caerulea has gathered to print on its pages the things Poly students have made to leave behind them — the craft work they have done, the pictures they have painted, the literature they have written, the scientific prob- lems they have attempted to work out. It is the creative side of the school ' s life that this Caeru- lea has chosen to portray, believing that the things Poly students make to express them- selves — be it with their heads or their hands — and not just the things they learn by rote are the true expression of the ambitions and the ideals of high school life. —The Staff
