PROLOGUE Each year the curtain rises on a new scene in the shifting drama of Polytechnic High School. The year 1931 has brought not only a chang- ing scene but a widening vista of possibility for the future in the build- ing of our new auditorium. Through- out the year we have looked forward to the time when the structure shall stand complete, a new setting for student activity in the arts and crafts of the stage. It is fitting, therefore, that this Caerulea should pay especial tribute to those who have led the way to future achievements — those stu- dents and faculty members who have represented our school in music, drama, and speech arts.

.4 the world ' s a stage and all the men and women merely players. They have their en- trances and exits; and one man, in his time, plays many parts. In the twent ij years since Poly- technic High School was established, thousands of boys and girls have entered her portals, come upon the stage of action here, and played their part. In the inspiration and power which they have gathered here, they have made their honorable exit, only to enter upon the larger stage of life ' s activities. I congratulate the Caerulea staff in having chosen our new audito- rium and its possibilities as the theme of this year ' s annual. This beautiful building with its expansive stage and modern eguipment will represent enlarged opportunity for training and activity to that long line of as- piring boys and girls who in the coming gears are to make their en- trance here and play their part in the life of Polytechnic.
