AFTER SUNSET I have an understanding with the hills At evening when the slanted radiance fills Their hollows, and the great winds let them be, And they are quiet and look down at me. Oh then I see the patience in their eyes Out of the centuries that made them wise. They lend me hoarded memory; and I learn Their thoughts of granite and their whims of fern, And why a dream of forests must endure Though every tree be slain, and how the pure Invisible beauty has a word so brief, A flower can say it or a shaken leaf, But few may ever snare it in a song, Though for the quest a life is not too long. — Grace Hazard Conkline $4fe I i i if I retail WIS M mmilr tm 1 ' [ fe: THE SEER As knowledge clears the way Through dark forests Of unknown things, The thoughts of Youth, released- Soar free.

Truly, ours is a great heritage, but let us not overlook the fact that with this heritage comes also a real responsibility. Driving through the Redwood forest one dav last summer, we were inspired with the grandeur of the giant Sequoias. While thus occupied with the thought that some of these great trees had been standing here for a thousand years and more, we emerged from the forest into an open space where had once been a great forest but now was only waste and desolation as far as the eye could see. The forest fire had done its work. The thought came to me more forcibly than ever before that what had taken God centuries to create had been destroyed in a few hours of time, and perhaps all by the thoughtless act of some careless individual. How rapidly the forces of destruction do their work! This law holds, not only in the world of nature, but in society and in the life of the individual. - — David Burcham DAVID BURCHAM, PRINCIPAL CANVAS SHELTERS— Memoirs of 1933 still linger, with wind -torn tops and rain soaked sides.

CAERULEA PAGE 16 WILL FRENCH, SUPERINTENDENT • (Greeting • • • On behalf of the student body of Polytechnic. Caerulea extends hearty greetings to Mr. Will French, new Superintendent of Schools. Mr. French is a man of wide training and experience in the field of education. His ready grasp of the problems of the local schools, together with his friendly, dem- iiii at ic spirit, has already gained for him the confidence and good will of pupils and teachers. We of Polytechnic feel the inspiration of his leadership and bespeak for him a large measure of success in his new field of labor.

COUNSELORS— Helpful advice on student pnoblems comes from the wide experience of Mr. Branson, Counselor, and Miss Haddock, Assistant Coun- selor CAERULEA REGISTRAR — Solving the pro- grams and business problems of Polytechnic High School is a task demanding all the abili- ty of Frank G. Reid, Registrar. • i dlllilli$tl «ltioil • • • Enter to learn; go forth to serve is the challenge which the new Poly expresses to students who pass through the portals. Behind those words adorning the entrance to the Science and Commercial Building of the partially-completed new plant is the indomitable will to serve, which has brought Poly ' s adminstration triumphantly through the catastrophe that three years ago reduced Polytechnic ' s tradition-laden buildings to a mass of ruins. The responsibilities of the executive of a great modern high school devolve upon David Burcham. Principal. Through all the stress of the unnatural situation con- fronting a school of 3500 students suddenly thrown out of its beautiful plant and its perfectly organized routine, Mr. Burcham has captained his forces of faculty and students with remarkable fortitude and judgment. Behind him in staunch and gen- erous support have stood the Superintendent of Schools and the Board of Education. Side by side with the principal, Frank G. Reid, Registrar and Business Manager, has shared the unusual responsibilities of the past three years. The transitional state of Poly ' s plant during 1935-36 has called for adjustment. With the auditorium restored, the Science and Commercial buildings coming into use, and the Administration Building not ready for occupancy until April, the problem of housing office force and classes, shifting furnishings, and readjusting programs has been a constant one. With the realization that completion of the Music and Arts buildings, the shops, gym- nasium, and the cafeteria, must be deferred, came the necessity for building more bungalows to supplement the permanent buildings and to meet extra classroom needs. Yet, through all this, the educational and activity program, the routine work of registration, guidance, credit adjustments, budget making, auditing and handling of student body funds, supervision of janitorial work, and the thousand other duties of CAEKULEA a big city high school office have gone smoothly forward. Truly, only the close co- operation of a thoroughly efficient administrative staff could accomplish such a feat. To Poly the office of the Counselors is an extremely important one, concerned as it is with the very heart of the school — the curriculum — and the guidance of students toward its best use for their needs. When Ernest P. Branson entered upon the position of Counselor in September, he brought to the office the unusual background of a research director and supervisor, a classroom teacher, and the father of a former Poly High student, ft was not. therefore, surprising that students found in him a real friend, perfectly fitted to aid them. Under his guidance an interesting piece of research was carried on in connection with experiments in reading. Working in close cooperation with the Counselor in guidance and giving attention also to the matter of testing, Miss Nellie Haddock, Assistant Counselor, had broad- ened and strengthened the friendly and helpful relations which in previous years have marked her contact with students. In the matter of social guidance and council, Poly is particularly favored to have James C. Peniwell in the office of Vice-Principal and Evelyn Lofland as Dean of Girls. During the past year boys and girls have eagerly sought their aid not only in matters of organization, planning, and carrying out of school activities, but in the solution of personal problems, in which so many students have need of sympathetic understa nding and aid. Poly has had a great and forward-looking year, thanks to the courage, wisdom, and unselfishness of her administrative staff and teaching force.

The Poly association had the distinction of being the first high school P. T. A. in California. This year il again set an example by starting the only high school P. T. A. paper in the stale. This paper, The Poly-Crat , was published monthly and contained news of the school, the activities of the association, and interesting local news. Mr. Claude R. Freeman deserves much of the credit for the success of the paper. The editors were Esther Horner and Norman Kinzlev. This year the program subject was Education Through Demonstration . The topic furnished a foundation for interesting meetings sponsored by the departments. The association again attained the state honor roll by sending in a 100 per cent subscription of the executive hoard to the California Parent Teachers Magazine. Excellent work was done throughout the year by the welfare committee. Clothing, optical service, and medical care were furnished to students. Money was contributed to the Red Cross relief fund at the time of the disastrous floods in the eastern states. A committee worked with the state legislature on school legislation.

Student Leadership Sponsorship Participation • Student Leadership • • • I learned how to enjoy leisure time by taking part in the activity program at Poly High, is the remark which is made, and we hope will continue to be made, by those citizens who were students at Poly. The purpose of student participation in the activity program is to provide an opportunity for practicing, under supervision, the knowledge and skills learned in actual instruction. The attempt is made to create situations similar to those which will be met following school attendance and to give practice in meeting them. One of the situations to be met is that of spending the time which one finds for pleas- ure. To take only one kind of activity as an example — the opportunities offered through the extra-curricular division of the Physical Education Departments for prac- tice in wholesome out-of-door recreation are available to all. There are teams and clubs in which instructions and practice in different sports are given. Participation in any school activity carries with it not only the pleasure of doing things with others interested in the same thing, which stimulates friendship, but also the encouragement of participation in healthful, open-air recreation as a wise use of leisure time in later years. — Evelyn Lofland • 4 ' ommiSSion • • • In the changing conditions of these post-quake years, the Commission, highest student-administration body of Poly, has cooperated with the laiultx in solving difficult problems arising from the unusual situation. i its regular Wednesdaj meetings, the Commission found its first 1935 duties the approval of appointments to student offices, such as Caerulea editor and business manager, High Life editors, the Committer of Five of CSF, and managers of athletic learns. Throughout the year main important policies were determined upon. Among these were plans for sale of activitj tickets, drives for various activity funds, and dates and management of public programs. Members of Commission are elected by the student body. The commissioner of affairs has charge of all publications, awards, scholarships, and the Jane Harnett fund. To the commissioner of arts is assigned the overseeing of oratory, music, opera, social affairs, and Masque and Sandal. The commissioner of athletics supervises athletic activities. The commissioner of safety has charge of the Boys ' League, the police, and the lire department, hall patrol, and the Ushers ' Club. The commissioner of welfare controls the Girls ' League, girls ' athletics, student elections, the lost and found de- partment, and the information bureau. Mr. Hurcham. Mr. Penniwell. Miss Lofland. Mr. Reid, and Mr. Vermilya are faculty adi isers. The ten student members for 1935-36 were Bill Barton and Jim Lineberger, affairs; Charles Stevens ad Dick Urbina, arts; Morley Mathewson and Bill Elmore, athletics; Dick Urbina and Dick Lang, safety; and Lois Crabtree and Ruth Mather, welfare.

The Poly Boys ' League has shown, through their ability to aid in the promotion of school affairs, that the high school youth of today will make for himself just as much of a chance as did his pioneer predecessors. In the process of aiding to solve school problems the boys have developed themselves to such a high point of efficiency that they are capable of handling any situation that may come before them when they enter the world of affairs. Under the guidance of Mr. Penniwell, vice principal of Poly and adviser of the Boys ' League, the organization has done much to promote the welfare of the school. Every boy in Poly is a member of the League, al though the advisory board is limited to five members. The first big project was the Thanksgiving drive, in which the cooperation of the entire school was solicited by the League,, aiding the welfare committee of the Girls ' League. Food and Money were the contributions asked for, and as a result of the fine response over one hundred baskets were donated by the sections to the needy people of Long Beach. The committee chairmen especially cooperated with the wel- fare commission in delivering the baskets, thus performing a distinct service, not only to Poly but to the city of Long Beach. Soon after this fine exhibition of loyalty to Poly the League members were again called on to assist, this time in the Christmas drive. Through wide solicitation throughout the school, the League brought in an enormous amount of clothing, toys, and money. This was put at the disposal of the welfare committee. Once more the boys were called on to deliver the gifts to Long Beach citizens. During the second semester the president. Hob Gorbould, did much to boost the CAERULEA spirit of the League. Other officers were Mike Cole, vice president; Don Harbour, corresponding secretary: and Bob Bonhall, recording secretary. Jack Evans, prominent in League affairs, was police chief for the last semester. The police department came directh under the auspices of the League. The fire depart- ment also was governed by the League ' s committee. Orlo Duker was the president of the fire department last semester. Don Haldeman was selected as the publicity chairman for baseball and track meets. Don put on many interesting assemblies that advertised athletic contests before the eyes of the student body. Most interesting was his presentation of Chuck Stevens and his horse hiders in a little skit in which the ball players were a group of lazy red skins. They showed no spirit until Don brought the squaws (the song leaders) before the huddled braves. The girls led the songs; and the entire presentation was received with much applause by the audience. Don also led a pep rally for the annual Wilson game. The League ' s committee made plans to bring Richard Black, scientist and member of Byrd ' s antarctic expedition, before the student body during the second semester. Mr. Black is a speaker of merit and has the ability to keep an audience interested for hours with his vivid descriptions of life on the ice floes of the polar regions. The Boys ' League boosted a grand reception for graduating seniors in the spring. It was a colorful and interesting affair and was thoroughly enjoyed by all the members of the graduating class that attended. Over six hundred seniors were guests at the reception.

The Girls ' League, which has as members all the girls in Poly, sponsors good feeling and fellowship among the high school girls of California. The general welfare of the girls in the country also is discussed by the League in committee meetings. During the first part of the semester of 1935 the girls sponsored a get-together in which all the members of the first sophomore classes of Lindbergh, Washington, Hamilton, and Franklin junior high schools were invited. Students from outside schools were also invited to attend the meeting. The officers of the Girls ' League entertained the numerous guests and offered much valuable information as to the various activities offered in Poly High School. The traditional Jackrabbit roundup for midyear graduates completed the activities of the first semester in grand style. The Girls ' League had charge of the program, and an elaborate stage production resulting from carefully planned selection of players, was tops in the social events of the first semester. Refreshments were served. Early in October two students and a faculty member of the Girls ' League advisory board were selected to attend the annual Girls ' League convention, which was held in Sweetwater High School at National City. The League delegates from all the high schools in Southern California discussed affairs of the organization, and the three Poly delegates spent the day after the convention at the San Diego Exposition. The Girls ' League executive board, which numbers five members, cooperates with the commissioner of Welfare, the committee chairmen, and ihe presidents of the girls ' clubs in Poly. The combined group, which is the Girls ' League advisory hoard, co- operates in all the district activities of each organization. Much fine work is accom- plished in the development of girls ' affairs as a result of these cooperative measures. During the first week of November, the Girls ' League advisory boards of Woodrow Wilson, Jordan, and Poly high schools held a joint meeting in which the Poly girls took active part. The meeting, which centered around the discussion of American girlhood, took place in the social hall between the Commercial and Science buildings. During the last week of the semester the League ' s advisory board held a meeting for the installation of new officers. This was the revival of an old custom that had not been observed since 1933. It was a candle-lighting ceremony that was very impressive. ii_i The Girls ' League officers joined with the Boys ' League and the Commission at a dinner meeting in the first week of February. Later in the month a spring convention was held for League members in Huntington Beach, and much favorable comment was made on the high type of entertainment afforded the guests. The play, East Lynne. was presented to League members; and every executive was present. Later, a picnic in Houghton Park was attended by the advisory board. A program featuring a May Day dress parade, in which every girl wore a homemade dress, took place on the lists of entertainment for the month. A one-dollar limitation was fixed as the amount of money to be spent on dress materials.

When will we get through counting these pennies? To the girls of the welfare commission the penny drives at Poly mean a lot of work. The drive has been established as one of the routine jobs of the welfare commission. The chairman, Barbara Mott, proved very capable and went about her work in earnest. In October she led a Thanksgiving drive that netted over one hundred baskets of provisions for the needy persons of Long Beach. In this drive the Poly welfare commission worked in cooperation with the welfare commission of the city and helped 105 needy families. The annual Christmas drive was a great success. The second semester chairman, Janice Kennedy, conducted the penny drive, aided in the Christmas seal campaign, and conducted a drive for the old clothes. Later in the year the girls cooperated with the county welfare department in aiding the child department. • I CsiioJ ' lll Bo«BI fl • • V Judges, jury, and the defendant will meet in Tent Eight after the seventh period. Mythical words, perhaps, but well suited to the performance of the nine Poly girls who each year make up the uniform boards. These girls daily checked and reported dress regulation violators to the other members of the board. At board meetings, which were held once a week, demerits were issued to all girls who were found out of uniforms without a legitimate excuse. Each spring the members of the board hold a joint meeting with the members of the uniform boards of Woodrow Wilson and Jordan high schools. These annual conventions are necessary if any changes in dress regulations are to be made, for CAERULEA all three schools have the same requirements. • Ti« Ii.Ot Sollers • • • Under the able supervision of Mrs. Kappler, CAERULEA secretary in the Registrar ' s office, a group of boys worked tirelessly throughout the year to make a success of the sale of tickets to all students who wished to attend football, basketball, and baseball games. Members of the staff also took charge of the distribution of tickets for the music, dramatic, and stage productions, such as the opera, Sweethearts , the senior play, and the senior prom. It was necessary that the ticket sellers: Dale Tillery. Boyd Brown. Judson Voyles, and Leon Dallin, should be selected for their dependability, for they handled plenty of cash. • Soilg aild Yell LoadorS • • • Siz, Boom, Ah. Come on gang!

With flashy green and gold pom-poms waving to the tune of All Hail , the three song leaders cooperated with the yell leaders in rousing the rooters. Throughout the year these tune teasers, under Miss Mary Shouse, created tempo for the songs that in- spired Poly teams to victory. • I fliers • • • The polite This way, Sir of the professional usher has been completely taken over by the eighty members of Poly ' s Ushers ' Club and has graced many school and outside performances.

Among these were the Municipal Auditorium Committee and the Long Beach Adult Education Forum. Richard Vermilya served as sponsor and adviser of the organization.

This year the squad, which is purely a school organization, practically eliminated all possible fire hazards, for the system provided has been far superior to any system used in the past. Orlo Duker, the retiring chief for last semester, was appointed by Mr. Brainard, who is the adviser of the squad. Duker had two assistants, whose duties were the mapping out of action positions for the fire captains. The assistants also had charge of the distribution of placards on which the names of the fire lieutenants were in- scribed. No assistants selected were seniors, since the policy of the adviser has been to select one of the assistants as chief for the following year. At the completion of the new buildings the squad was reorganized in order that the fire captains might be near their posts during all their classes. Each captain was stationed near a fire extinguisher or hose. Duties of the fire captains included the removal of all persons from the tent and building areas during the alarm. As in the past each section teacher appointed two firemen from his or her section. These two firemen were responsible for the response of all pupils in their class- rooms at the time of drill. A girl was also selected in each section as a fireman. Her duty was the care of all injured at the time of the drill. Although the president of Alexis Carrel had direct control of all Red Cross cases, each girl was under the direct supervision of the CAERULEA fire department. • l oli«M k IN | Sll illMMll 111 « school as large as Long Beach Poly, some rules and regulations arc needed to keep the daily routine of school ac- tivities running smoothly. The police department, under the guidance of Mr. Fincher, was the chief (actor which throughout the year, kepi Poly ' s great system in working order. The Pol) police department, though not of the same type as that found in a municipal government, is jusl as efficient in its particular duties as is that of the more complex i jit) organization. The Poly police comprise a body of students who, through loyalty lo the school and a pride in its appearance, keep the grounds, the halls, and the buildings from all degrading effects. As a result of their fine attitude, the school has become a thoroughl) efficient body, entirely cooperative with the administration. The around patrol keeps students from wandering over the campus and strewing food wrappers and oilier objects about the grounds. The patrol has proved very efficient in its work, and the campus has appeared clean and attractive throughout the year. Lunch permits were also under the supervision of the student police. No student could leave without a permit, and it was the duty of a policeman to see that this regulation was enforced. The halls were also patrolled by the police squad. Any loud unnecessarj noise was prevented by the policeman in charge. The banging of locker doors during lunch periods also came under the ban of the police squad, and through immediate action, was eliminated. In this manner, the squad assisted the school immeasurably, and. as a result, disturbances were reduced to a minimum. CAERULEA Row 1: Ailman, Burkhardt. Wil- Gibson, Melton. Gorbould, Coudres.

CAERULEA POLY ' S ROLL OF HONOR • .Bsiiid ' Harnett Memorial Fund • • • Originated in 1905 to assist worthy Poly High graduates to attend college, the Jane Harnett fund has become one of Poly ' s traditions. Miss Harnett, then head of the social studies department, was instrumental in its origination. After her death the fund was renamed in her honor. It is a loan fund under the direction of a faculty committee comprising the principal, Mr. Burcham, and three teachers: Mrs. Macintosh, Miss Burke, and Miss Scott. About ninety students are now borrowing from the fund. • Seymour Memorial Scholarship • • • To honor the the memory of its founder and first president, Charles F. Seymour, former head of the social studies department of Poly High and for many years adviser of Chapter 22, the California Scholarship Federation is providing a scholarship. Each chapter contributes five cents per member each semester for five years, and the interest on this money provides the scholarship. The State Federation has appointed a Seymour Scholarship Committee to grant the award. The winner may choose his school. • Dalv Scholarship • • • To encourage scholarship among law students and honor the memory of her husband, John E. Daly, and her son, James H. Daly, who were members of the Long Beach Bar Association until the time of their death, Mrs. John E. Daly established the Daly Scholarship in July, 1927. It is awarded each year on the basis of scholastic attainment to a graduate of Poly High School enrolled in the Law School of the University of Southern Cali- fornia. Alumni who have earned the award are Leslie Cummins, Edwin Taylor, Arch Tuthill. Gerald Lehman, and Richard Yeamans. • Seymour Memorial Award • • • own heretofore as the caerulea Honor Studenl Award, Poly ' s highest honor has been renamed the Seymour Memo- rial Ward in memory of the late Mr. Seymour, who was formerly head of the social studies department at Poly High. The award is conferred on the student having the greatest number of points in scholarship and in service to the school. The recipient last year was Margaret Windes. who received all A ' s in live solids. Margaret had participated in main outside activities, climaxing these with the office of editor-in- chief of Caerulea. Dorothy Williams, editor of this edition of Caerulea, was a close second. Henceforth the award is to be presented at an assembly at the close of each school year instead of in the fall of the following year, as has been the custom since it was founded. • LaillD Il M illiontS • • • As a reward for outstanding attainments in the field of scholarship, the California Scholarship Federation each year pre- sents the Lamp Pin to certain students. These students are also given a seal on their diplomas and a parchment life membership certificate. In order to win this award the student must have been a member of the society for four semesters with at least one in the senior year. Those honored in this way were Lawrence Andrews, Tom Bell. Eva Bellamy, Glenn Billman, Helen Cather, Peggy Evans, Dean Harbour, Helen Harriman, Marion Hines, Doris Homer, Aaron Klein, Marjorie Ludlow, Ro- maine Poindexter, Fred Rude, Marilyn Shirey, Merrill Smith, Robert Stokley, Elea- nor Webster. Dorothy Williams, and Tommy Zieger. They received their lamp pins at the California Scholarship Federation banquet of Chapter 22, which is held annually for this purpose. k Miss LAMP RECIPI ENTS— First row: Andrews, Bell, Bellamy, Billman.

In this get-acquainted picnic, held Octo- ber 4, 1935, old members renewed friendships and greeted new recruits to their ranks. The outstanding event in the Scholarship year was the annual awards banquet held at the First Christian Church. The program was opened with greetings from Dorothy Williams, the president, and the invocation by Mr. Burcham. The address was made by Wellington Pierce, instructor of public speaking at Woodrow Wilson High School, who spoke on Exploring the Times . The topic was one of great interest to the students, dealing as it did with social problems of today. Donald Harbour presented Minor L ' s to the following girls: Sheila Bakken, Constance Bell, Beatrice Berry, Muriel Bolte, Ruth Heinley,Georgie Ann Holton, Dolores Lawless, Sylvia McLean, Alma Miller, Peggy Nelson, Helen Ogilvie, Margaret Phillips. Donita Schiffner, and Betty Wood. The award is given for three semesters ' mem- bership in the society. Jean Hodgkinson, chairman of the Committee of Five, presented the California Scholarship Federation Lamp Pins to the following students: Lawrence Andrews, Tom Bell, Eva Bellamy, Glenn Billman. Helen Cather, Peggy Evans, Dean Harbour, Helen Harriman, Marion Hines, Doris Homer, Aaron Klein, Marjorie Ludlow, Romaine Poindexter, Fred Rude, Marilyn Shirey, Merrill Smith, Robert Stokley, Eleanor Webster, Dorothy Williams, and Tommy Zeiger. Richard Black, associate of Admiral Byrd on his antarctic expedition, was scheduled to present the second address of the evening, but because of unavoidable circumstances was unable to be present. Mr. Tracy, the adviser, substituted for him and gave the dosing speech. Ii should be noted that the Following graduates who did not receive Lamp Pins al the banquet were to be seal bearers, provided they made Scholarship during the second semester: Beatrice Berry, Helen Bradley, Roger Clemens. Donald Harbour. Georgie Ann Holton, Lorraine Lombard, Harrj Martin, Helen Ogilvie, Donita Schiffner. Pol) High was host al the annual fall conference of District Number Seven, which was held at the Recreation Park Clubhouse on November 25. 1935. Doroth) Williams, president of Chapter 22. presided, and the program began with the installation of officers b Mr. G. R. Tracy. Poly adviser. At the business meeting preceding the program proper. Victor Cole, president of Chapter 14!!. presided. Following this. Lorraine Johnson gave a reading and Dick Urbina sang a group of songs, with Stewart Warwick accompanying. A skit, The Finger of God by Per- cival Wilde, was then presented by Masque and Sandal with a cast comprising the following: Strickland. Walter Windsor: Benson, Carson Hetler: and The Girl. Hazel Mae Owen. The address of the evening was delivered by Judge Martin De lies of the Long Beach Municipal Court who spoke on ' Some Observations on Scholarship . Dancing and games followed the program. Delegates to the second conference of District Seven at Redondo were Dorothy Williams, Margaret Phillips. Sylvia McLean, Jean Hodgkinson. Harry Ailman. Wil- lard Robinson, Roger Clemens, Bob Bonhall, and Harry Martin. CSF members found an educational trip to the Griffith Park Planetarium very interesting and enjoy- able.

Poly High conferred upon them this honor because of their ' outstanding activity in three fields: scholarship, athletics, and general service. Students earning the Gold I, must meet the following requirements. In scholarship ' they must have attained a point average of 2 for at least two semesters, the average to be computed on the following basis: A,3; B,2; C,l; D,0; F.-l. In athletics they must have won an athletic letter or have received the recommendation of the coach, the recommendation depending upon membership in an athletic squad for the full season of the sport. Any other activity is counted as general service. The students to whom Gold L ' s are each year awarded must present fifteen points in the above activities. A green jewel is placed on the pin after ten more points are earned, and a second jewel is awarded when five more points are presented. Points may be received for service as Student Body Commissioner, an officer in the Girls ' League, a yell leader, an officer in the Chamber of Commerce, a class officer, an out- standing member of the Junior Speakers ' Bureau, a winner of the Extempore Speaking Contest, a boys ' sport manager or captain, a player if he receives a letter, a student trainer, an officer in the Girls ' Athletic Association, a member of Caerulea staff, a member of High Life staff, a member of Acacia staff, a Student Body Store manager, a fireman, a member of student police, an usher, a member of the make-up crew, a member of the stage crew, a CSF member, a ticket seller, an officer in the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps, a costume manager, a member of a play cast, a lead in the opera, a band major, a band member, the orchestra manager, an orchestra member, CAERULEA a drum corps major, a member of Senior Girls ' Glee, a member of Senior Boys ' Glee, a member of A Capella Choir, the presidenl of a club, a winner in the Annual Local CAERULEA [nterclass Commercial Contest, a member of Advisory Council, a tutor, a student who has rendered distinguished service to the school and not been otherwise recognized. Those who won Cold L ' s during the fall semester were Bill Barton, Roger Clemens, Ed Heffner. Helen Hoffman. Ruth Mather. Morley Mathewson, James G. Reed, and Dorothy Williams. Dorothy Colyer and Lois Crabtree received jewels on the Gold L ' s which they had won previously. The following are prospective Gold L recipients for tin- spring semester: Lawrence Andrews. Douglas Ball. Betty Barton, Beth Bastian. Louise Gibson, Faye Halsey, Helen Harriman. Jean Hodgkinson, Esther Horner, Maurine Lindgren. Jim Line- berger. Harry Martin, Barbara Mott. Weckford Morgan, Hazel Mae Owen, Charles Stevens. Ina Sugihara. A great deal of honor is attached to receiving a Gold L, since it represents so much in the way of achievement. Those members of the student body who are leaders in various activities and have shown the enthusiasm, ability, and desire to achieve are rightly honored. It is they who keep up the standards of the school and who make it known for its worthwhile character. The world is looking for young men and women who have the ability to lead, who have the vision needed to plan for the future, who know opportunity when they see it and are ready to take advantage of it. Students who have won Gold L ' s at Poly High are well fitted to succeed as leaders in the work of the world. They have set a standard in achievement which younger stu- dents may well hold as their goal. GOLD L — First row: Hoffman, Horner. Lineberger, Ludlow. Martin. Second row: Mather, Mathewson, Morgan.

After working in the student body store one semester, a salesman is indeed prepared for a real job, for in one lunch period over one thousand students crowd around the lunch counters. According to Miss Bergen, adviser of the store, the depression ended last semester if hundreds of rushing students were any indication of an upward trend in national affairs. Every day the store sold approximately three thousand tickets in two fifty- minute periods; thus the salesman were afforded every interesting detail that one finds in the hustle and bustle of the down-town department stores. The personnel of the store, which averaged approximately forty-five members each semester, was headed by Eileen Myers, assistant adviser, and Perry Harrington, who was manager of the store. Then there were Harry Wagner, assistant manager for both terms; Mary Jane Harrington, bookkeeper and office manager: Lois Baker and Myrtle McNally, stenographers: Bernice Gibson, second semester head bookkeeper: and other capable executives. In all situations these persons proved themselves thoroughly honest, dependable, and efficient. The whole store was run on a scientific and precise system of student management. From the first day the student body store opens in September of each year to the date of the last sale in June, exact records of all articles bought and sold are preserved in a book, which remains the prized possession of the store. If any slip occurs in the CAERULEA daily routine of the store, the consultation of the valuable annual generally results in the smoothing out of the puzzle These records 1 in man) eases. Mailed milks, pies, cakes, and many other tasty arti noved themselves invaluahle CAERULEA ' ached an incredible peak of sales during the first semester of this year. Pastry is one of the most sought-after tid- bits in the stock, and at times the store was completely devoid of even a single pie after the first feu minutes of a lunch period. Ice cream ranks high with students, for as many as eight hundred bars are consumed even day. Sundaes, which are sold in five cent cups, are always much in demand. Rain, strange as it seems, has a marked effect upon the type of article sold b) the school store. When water flooded the campus this winter, the sales of candy bars rose from a steady five hundred bars a day to the enormous total of nine hundred bars a dav. which was an increase of nearly one hundred per cent of the average sale. The student body store was also the headquarters for the lost and found department during the past year. A list of returned articles would amaze one, according to the adviser, for every article from lost lizards to snake sticks has been deposited in the store. Despite their intensive activities, the committee members of the store have had time for social recreation. An elaborate party took place in January, to which all members of the first semester ' s staff were invited. In early spring a picnic took the routine grind off the minds of the second group. Many of the student body store salesmen were eligible for regular store pins, which were awarded in June. STUDENT BODY STORE (SECOND SEM.) — Front row: Miss Meta B. Bergen (Adviser), Venable. Dudley.

First Semester • • • No matter what the crime or guilt of the person charged with it. lynching or anv other mob violence, far from being justified, is a crime in itself that should be vigorously prosecuted. ' Thus Co- Editor Stokely finished an editorial condemning mob violence, which was considered worthy of a first place for editorial honors in the 1935 Southern California High School Press Association contest. Also among the prizes won by High Life was a second place, taken by Glenn Miller for a student feature. In this annual contest High Life is graded in competition with only the largest high school publications. During the first semester the double staff idea was temporarily put into practice for weekly publication of the paper. The plan, which has been tried successfully on a few eastern school papers, provides that separate staffs shall edit the paper on alter- nating weeks. In the opinion of Mr. Frisch. adviser, this system saves time and offers a greater chance for those training in the professions. STiile the same reporters are active on both staffs and are responsible for their work on each edition, the editors make their layouts once every two weeks and are responsible only for their own edition. Because of the fact that the paper expanded from five to eight columns in the first semester of 1935. it became necessarv to appoint a larger number of editorial workers as successors to the previous staff members. Contrary to the common belief, there were still just as raanv holes to fill on the pages as there had been in the old days of single staffs. The idea has apparentlv appealed to several other schools which have adopted it. High Life will maintain the policy indefinitely. • High Life. Second Semester • • • March is, 1936— High Life is winner of the medalist award in the Columbia University Press Association contest, highest honor given to a high school paper. Time man lies on! Judged on a complete set of High Lifes entered in the Columbia contest for the first time, the publication surpassed all other papers in this district of the West. The papers were those of the 1935 semester of the term under the co-editorship ol James Reed and Robert Stokley and those of the second semester under the co-editor- ship of Ham Fulton and Dixon Gayer. The entries were judged on make-up of pages, quality of stories, school news coverage, and all other requisites. March 20. 1936 — High Life scoops the entire world of newspapers, high schools, colleges, and citv publications! The television edition is given to the subscribers after several weeks of preparation! Time marches on! March 26. 27, 28, 1936 — High Life delegates sent to the University of Calif- ornia! At Berkeley Press Convention John J.

Caerulea is proud that a man of national affairs, no less than the national com- missioner of forestry, has regarded her theme of sufficient educational value to justify his consenting to act as sponsor to the book; and may we here express sincere ap- preciation for his picture and inspiring message? To those distinguished state and city commissioners, the last named a loyal alumnus of Poly, whose messages and pictures appear in the theme section, Caerulea likewise voices thanks. It would, however, have been of little avail to Caerulea to secure the good will and cooperation of those even in high estate outside of Poly ' s own campus had she not secured the loyal support of her own student body. It was, therefore, with satis- faction that, as the plans for the book began to take shape, the staff received the fine cooperation of the students. First came the enthuiastic response to the request for pictures of favorite California scenes and for snaps of faculty and students at plav. These pictures appear throughout the book, in introduction, division pages, theme section, and play section. In rapid succession followed the fine responses to calls for entries in the various Caerulea contests. Wild Life in our National Parks , Forestry of California . Literary nature themes, and snapshots — all brought a wealth of entries, the prize winners of which appear in the theme section, captioned Training for Leisure . Then came the sales contest, actively backed by the students. Truly it can be said that i Bullock! Caerulea became a student-body project. Came then the production side. Poly had little need to go outside her campus for craftmansbip. Caerulea ' s art work, including cover design, title page, division pages and mounting, all was exclusively the work of the Caerulea art class under the supervision of Miss Ruth Foster, who was also the general adviser of the book. Snaps and all group photographs were filmed by the photography class under the direction of Mr. Gray. The journalism of the hook is the work of the department editors with Miss Edith D. Mattoon as adviser. With the exception of the lithography the book was printed and folded by students of the Poly printshop under Mr. Freeman and Mr. Stribley. Mr. Vermilya ' s advertising classes are always an important factor in the sales campaign. In the same campaign Caerulea would be lost before she started if there were no popular Mr. Oliver to launch the Caerulea sales assembly To English and science teachers who judged manuscripts and pictures in the contests, to all who contributed pictures, and to Mr. Douglas for permission to use his article on the Yucca together with the illustrative material, Caerulea is grateful. One thing that Caerulea has attempted to stress throughout the edition is the new forward-looking spirit that has pervaded Poly with the restoration of her beautiful auditorium and the completion of the new Commercial, Science, and Administration buildings — forerunners of the great new campus that is to be. As the good old tents flop away into the past, we are glad that we had them in Poly ' s time of need: but do we like our bungalows and our new buildings? Here ' s to the new Poly!

The staff, which is chosen each year by the art teachers and comprises only those who receive written invitations on recommendations of teachers, is indispensable to the Caerulea publication staff. Under the direction of Miss Ruth Foster, and with Barbara Hazlett and Mason Bullock as art editor and assistant repectively, the 1936 class handled all of the cover and end-sheet designs, division pages, and marginal designs as well as the mount- ing of the page snapshots. This year the members designed several story illustrations, which for the last two years of the publication have not appeared in the book.

The 1936 Caerulea photography class has been on the job everyday and then some! During one period a day and extra time before and after school and on Saturdays, the sixteen boys of the class were busy taking action pictures and candid shots; and this semester, for the first time, they handled all group pictures of the Poly clubs. Three or four fellows worked on the camera shots, one taking the graphlex action pictures, two working on the group pictures with the view camera, and the rest assigned to developing films. This year, Franklyn Brown, in charge of the group pictures, and Bob Wonnell, handling the candid shots, were the Caerulea staff rep- resentatives. Howard Gray was adviser and instructor of the class. • 1 ' rilll Shop • • • With presses roaring, linotype machines clicking, compositors setting and arranging the stories and setting up heads, the Poly print shop is a maze of action as the students rush to put the paper to bed in time so that it can he printed and on the shelves for distribution on Friday. Thus High Life. Poly ' s weekly newspaper, is published in the busy shop of its own school. Every week approximately twenty-three thousand words of copy are printed merely in the publication of the pap er. Besides printing High Life, the shop publishes the Polyerat. a monthly periodical of the Parent-Teachers Association; the Educator, a semi-monthly newspaper concerned with the activity of the adult education classes of Poly High School: and Acacia, the student literary publication. The climax of the year ' s work is the printing of the annual, Caerulea. In addition to carrying through the major projects of the year the classes also are engaged in printing all of the tags, slips, cards, and manuals necessary for carrying on the daily work in this modern high school. It can readily be seen that without the conscientious work of the printing classes, the school publications would find it impossible to carry on in the extensive manner in which they do. Without their cooperation, it would be impossible for the school papers and books to win the numerous awards with which they are presented throughout the years. And without their fine work it would be difficult for student staffs to offer artistic and complete periodicals to the students of the school. The print shop workers are under the able supervision of Claude R. Freeman and Arthur F. Stribley. These teachers also have charge of the night school classes for adults.

With a new-type dress printed in green ink to harmonize with the color of both cover and paper, beautifully-tinted frontspiece called Redwood Road , and clever pen and ink sketches and photographic illustrations of trees, the edition surpassed in charm even former beautiful numbers. The motif of the magazine was carried out in sketches, narratives, essays, and verse. Titles of the following numbers illustrate the development of the idea throughout the book: Tourist Trees , an essay by Norman Rau; A Dogwood Dilemma , a story by Frederick Stuthman; The Christmas Tree Bane , an essay by Judson Voyles; A Walk in the Forest , a poem by Margaret Eldridge. Material was supplied exclusively by members of the Writers ' Club and by mem- bers of Acacia class under the direction of Miss Eleanor G. Pooley, who also acted as general adviser of the production. Other advisers were Miss Marie Maples Preston, literary, and Miss Helen Hoff, art and photography. The cover was designed by Caryl Clark, and the illustrations were drawn by Harold Robinson. Acacia ' s editor in chief and associate editor were Frederick Stuthman and Norman Rau. Other staff members were Judson Voyles, copy; Robert Stokley, proof; Romaine Poindexter, business manager; and Douglas Jaques, circulation manager. The book was printed under the supervision of Claude R. Freeman and Arthur F. Stribley. Fen the sixth time in succession last year the publication won All-Amercian rating in the National Press Association Contest. . • Athletes ' Speaking Contest • • Heralded by an unsur- passed tag sale, the Athletes ' Speaking Contest for 1936, sponsored by the Poly Chamber of Commerce, attracted school-wide interest. Enthusiastic, excellent speakers, the ten eager lettermen all contributed to an outstanding performance. The three judges: Howard Jones of U. S. C, Tom Lieb of Loyola, and Mel Griffin of Long Beach Junior College awarded first place to Jim Lineberger, speaking on the topic, Our Benchwarmers . Second award went to Paul Semmens, on Sportsmanship, and third went to Turner Camp, on Poly ' s Band. Bill Barton spoke on Sportsmanship ; Bob Bonhall on Olympic Games ; Don Sothern.

Among these was the annual O.G.A. contest, sponsored by the Gregg Shorthand Company. Its purpose is the development of artistic note writing, and speed is not an element. Gold pins and honorable mention were awarded to the following people: Sheila Bakken, Rose Tateishi, Clover Smith. Violet Lovaas, Elamaye Coy, Dolores Lawless, Margaret Sheppard, Dorothy Steeves, Roxana Halas, Betty Grieve, Dorothy Lerch. Fern Everly, and Alice Palstine. Seventy-two students were awarded 0. G. A. certificates, indicating good work. High Life received the Medalist honors of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, awarded to the best all-around high school publication in its class in this section of the West. The executives on the staff of the winning issues were Robert Stokley, Jim Reed, Harry Fulton, Dixon Gayer, Walter Windsor, Esther Horner, Bob Camp- bell, Douglas Jaques, Jack Mitchum, Bob Berger, Elizabeth Whited, Helen Potter, Dick Jones, and Llewellyn Evans. The American Chemical Society held its twenty-second annual contest in the form of an examination comprising questions covering the years work. The fact that the students must prepare by May to answer questions on work for two months in ad- vance, coupled with the fact that it took three hours to answer the questions, gives an idea of the difficulty of this contest. A trophy cup is awarded to the school that wins, and individual scholarships are granted for meritorious work. The members of last year ' s team were Lee Warner, Turner Camp, Stephen Moran, Dorothy Wight, and James Becktel. Results of this year ' s contest came after press time. • faorillOSl t ' oillesls • • • Four theme and one sales contest were CAERULEA sponsored by Caerulea. The literary contest was divided into narrative and descriptive sketches, essays, and poetry. The judges chose those entries which excelled in fresh- ness of style, interest, and suitability to theme. John B. Williams, Norman Ran. and Bobbe Lilley in order of their rating wrote the winning sketches; Jack Mitchum, Margaret Eldridge, and Esther Horner, the essays; and Lucille Jones, Carlin Ander- son, and Stanley S. Burrows, the poetry. The forestry and wild life contest was judged on technical accuracy, interest of style, and suitability to theme. The winners were Adam Boyson, who wrote on forestry: and Harry Ailman, Bill Younkers, and Betty Carlson, wild life. In the snapshot contest Les Taylor and Joan Walp were the winners. Miss Zeigler ' s section won the sales contest and Douglas Ball, the individual. • Flag Presentation Assembly • • • Carrying out its poli- cy of giving an American flag to every school in the city, the Arthur L. Peterson Post of the American Legion made a formal presentation to Polytechnic High School at a double assembly. Mr. John L. Gluth, of the Americanization Committee, introduced the principal speaker of the first assembly, Dr. 0. H. L. Mason, who told the student bodv in his address that the flag was a symbol of all that the country stands for. In the second assembly, Mr. Bruce Mason, local attorney and son of the first speaker, spoke on the subject of true patriotism. Mr. Burcham accepted the flag and in a short speech expressed the appreciation of the student body. CAERULEA CONTEST WIN- NERS — Boysen, Rau.

CAERULEA • Discovery Day Program • • • America Was Old When Columbus Came was the theme of the sixth annual Discovery Day program. The world has thought of the great explorer as discovering a new land, inhabited by savages. But the truth is that magnificent civilizations were established years before Columbus ever dreamed of sailing the uncharted sea. The purpose of the program presented by the Junior Speakers ' Bureau was to put this fact under a spotlight and thus show the early history of the Americas. A towering ship silhouetted in the background made an impressive stage setting. The Junior Speakers were assisted in the pr esentation by Masque and Sandal and the Senior Boys ' Glee Club. Charles Stevens. Commissioner of Arts, opened the pro- gram, introducing Edward Heffner, who told of the origination of the Discovery Day program by the Junior Speakers Bureau under the direction of Mr. McCay. Two speakers, Georgie Ann Holton and Turner Camp, presenting the same subject in two assemblies, had as their topic Columbus, Renouned Discoverer . America Was Old When Columbus Came was the theme of Willard Robinson and Alicemargarel Benson in the two assemblies. At both assemblies the Senior Boys ' Glee Club sang the stirring Song of the Vikings . The advanced orchestra, under the baton of Mr. Gill, played the first and last numbers of the program, offering marches, Vic- torious Legions and Northwind March . Historic Landing, October 12, 1492. a tableau presented by Masque and Sandal and directed by Miss Breed, depicted the ship, mariners, and Indians as they are supposed to have appeared on the memorable date. The singularly lovely and appropriate stage setting was designed under the direction of Miss Helen Hoff. i ° ' •«• Mr the flag goes up.

Student Body Organization Sophomore Class Junior Class Senior Class Alumni I — Photograph Courtesy Santa Catalina Island Company • Classes • • • What a stimulating sentence, the one in the foreword of this book, Let us prepare through knowledge for an appreciation of loveliness... ! That which seems to be a mere offering of dull knowledge for the sophomore becomes a source of understanding, enjoyment, and deep appreciation for the senior. That Poly sophomore did not realize that the seeming drudgery with compass and ruling pen was to develop into the ability to design a world-famous skyscraper. While laboriously writing, correcting, and rewriting themes another did not evision the volumes of verse soon to be published. The mathematics student puzzling over a solution for a problem was unaware that he was thereby preparing to be a famous aviator. Devotion to the study of the apparently prosaic subjects caused these and many other dreams of Polytechnic alumni to become noteworthy achievements. Thirty years would be required to take all the courses named in the Polyt echnic manual. That this is a cosmopolitan high school is shown by variety as well as their number, for beyond the conventional courses one finds the unexpected. To mention only a few, the reader notes stage costume, photoplay appreciation, a variety of trades, actual practice in retail selling, creative music, photography, radio science, psychology, home sociology, and school publications. Knowledge, skill, and appreciation are here for all who seek them. — Ernest P.

So many new things to do; so many new people to know! But the sophomores of Poly ' s campus enthusias- tically accepted these challenges and brought new vigor to the school ' s life. Memories of triumphs, leaderships, and friends of junior high school days at Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Hamilton, Edison, Lindberg, and many other California and out-of-state schools lingered in their minds, but these reflections only served to strengthen their determination to make a place for themselves in Polytechnic. And they have succeeded — these 1200 sophomores, who have been getting acquainted with new teachers, new lessons, and old traditions here at Poly! Already the sophomores have invaded the various fields of Poly activities, and names of the leaders of the class of ' 38 are beginning to come to the front. The influence of the class is being felt in school government, in CSF, in forensics, music, and drama, as the ranks of those actively interested in these activities increase with the students ' adjustment to life at Poly. School sports have also lured many to the open field or court, in which they are gaining experience and knowledge invaluable to their sporting success when they become upperclassmen. The officers who have masterfully maneuvered the class ship of 1936 on its maiden voyage were Harry Linares, president: Jean Montgomery, vice-president; Myrtle Albright, secretary-treasurer of the Sophomore B ' s; and Frances Nutter, president; Frances Mylar, vice-president; Mary Mathewson, secretary; June Elliot, treasurer of the Sophomore A ' s. The affairs of the class were capably guided by Miss Norma Chapman, Miss Ada CAERULEA McClellan, and Mr. Charles Church. • ll!Glioi ' 4 ' I.IS. • • • New fields to conquer!

Thus, adjustment to changing conditions has been the kc note of the Junior polic) . Ml the outstanding activities of Pol) have been actively supported by Juniors. The Boys ' League Advisory Board boasted one Junior member; the Girls ' League ■ d isor Hoard, five; and the Commission, one. Junior membership in CSF consisted of thirty-three, as did also the number in the field of forensics. Poly ' s music depart- ment was represented with thirty-eight Junior enthusiasts. Poly ' s world of sports lured large numbers of middleclassmen. The football teams triumphed with the help of twenty varsity and thirty B men, basketball with three varsity and four B participants; baseball with six representatives; track with eighteen varsity, twenty B . and thirty C men; tennis with three, and swimming with six varsity and one B . The girls also were not to be downed in their own sports. Speedball players numbered twenty-two; volley ball, thirty-five; tennis, seventeen beginners, twenty intermediates, and twenty-two advanced; and twenty rowing queens ruled the waves. Class officers for the lib ' s were Janice Kennedy, president; Lewis Lacy, vice-pres- ident; Joan Elliot, secretary; Bob Cole, treasurer. The 11a officers were Bill Elmore, president: Ed Leonard, vice president; Bob Bonhall, secretary; Dale Tillery, treasurer.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE— Left to right: Smith, Curry, Cole, Moss, Mr. Gill (Adviser), Ball, Mather, Ferguson F©bl llcH ' y Seniors • • • Recognized as the largest mid-year graduating class in the history of Polytechnic High School, two hundred and eighty-four students received their diplomas January 30 at the first commencement to be held in the new Poly Auditorium. Youth and the Depression , Trust Young America , Youth, a Priceless Possession , and What Chance Has Youth? were the topics interestingly presented by four of the outstanding student speakers of the class: Bill Robinson, Jean Stevens, June Burkhardt, and James Reed. Musical selections were contributed by the glee clubs under the direction of Miss Mary Shouse and the orchestra conducted by Mr. Anthony Gill. Acting as spokesman for the seniors, Dave Carpenter, class president, gave an impressive farewell address. Other officers of the senior class were vice president, Mildred Crawford; secretary, Lois Crabtree; and treasurer, Evert Howard. Advisers were Mrs. Helene Hitchingss, Miss Helen Gass, Mr. Vermilya, Mr. Landreth, and Mr. Tracy. For the first time since Polytechnic High School was founded, an elaborate mid-year prom was held at the Municipal Auditorium January 24, as an added feature of Poly ' s farewell to the outgoing seniors. Slim Martin and his versatile group of Musical Gentlemen entertained more than fifteen hundred dancers with his music. Solos by Miss Bern Travor and songs by a trio and chorus of the orchestra were features of the evening ' s diversions. Special acknowledgment for the arrangement of the affair should be accorded to Mr. Freeman and Mr. Gill, who were assisted by the Parent Teachers Association and officers of the student body. That the prom topped all events of the school year was attested by the enthusiasm of the hundreds CAERULEA of students, teachers, and alumni who attended. ' «. H. . • dllllO S IIIOI ! • • • When, mi the night of June 16, six hundred .uul twenty gray-garbed seniors, preceded bj the colorful honor guard of the junior girls, march in processional down the aisle of the Municipal Auditorium, the elass of 1936 will close a career the most unique in Poly ' s history. To no other class save that of 1933 have the experiences following Long Beach ' s memorable earth tremor come with greater vividness, and certainly to none other with more rapidh -changing adjustments. The first class to enter Poly after the quake, the dazed little sophomores found themselves a hand of nomads wandering down long streets of tents. Their first class discussions were held to the accompaniment of the hand, parading on the football field near bv or the glee clubs singing carols for the Christmas concert. Through the rain and sun of their sophomore and junior years the old tents became more weathered as their occupants gained more of the Polv spirit and of Poly ' s will to do things. And then, in their senior year, came the reward; the seniors began to see a real Poly campus — first, the beautiful auditorium restored, then the new white bunga- lows, and finally the climax — two new buildings, forerunners of the magnificent plant that is to be. True to the rugged character of its pioneer predecessors the class of 1936 has proved its prowess. Under their capable advisers — Mr. Tracy, Mr. Ver- milya. Mr. Landreth. Miss Gass, and Mrs. Hitchings; and the following officers — Jay Moss, president; Burnett Ferguson, vice-president: Bill Barton, secretary; and Charles Hughes, treasurer, the members of the class have become leaders in all lines of Poly activities. And thus they bring their eventful years to a close. What does the future hold? JUNE SENIOR OFFICERS- Left to right: Fergusor Hughes, Moss, Barton CAEBULEA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE— Left to right: Ball.

Each year a goodly number of seniors win scholarships, and reports show Polytechnic students everywhere making enviable records. A roster of Long Beach community leaders is virtually a roster of Polytechnic alumni. Many of these loyal Polyites return frequently to boost school projects and are greeted enthusiastically on the campus and from the platform. Two Poly alumni are members of the board of education. Members of the Alumni Association held their annual home-coming celebration on the occasion of the Poly-Alhambra game, when Coach Orian Landreth was honored. Officers in charge were Harry Riley, president; George Trammell, first vice-president; Mrs. Blanche Drown, second vice-president ; Howard Patrick, third vice-president ; Bert Dod, fourth vice-president; William Sweningson, secretary; and Cecil Schilling, treasurer.

J Community Relationship Drama Music Forensies K.O.T.C. • Community Relationship • • • How pleasant has become the relationship between Polytechnic and the city in which we live! Poly ' s choral groups again and again delight downtown audiences; Masque and Sandal dramas please over the radio, in private homes, and in auditoriums; Junior Speakers, sitting at head tables, address luncheon clubs and banquets; young civic leaders in Poly ' s Chamber of Commerce join forces with adult groups and together explore fields of commerce, government, the fine arts, social service, business, publicity, and re- creation. Small wonder that Long Beach has come to accept Polytechnic as an in- tegral part of the social, cultural, business, and recreational life of the city. In Scribner ' s I July, 1935) Beverly Nichols lecommends compulsory gardening for statesmen. If we made it compulsory for all cabinet members, writes Miss Nichols, to dig in a garden for an hour a day, we should be living in a happier world. If we heed Caerulea ' s call, students of Poly High, if we stay close to wind and sun and sea. we shall be living in a happier world. We shall sing with more joyous voices, bring a new zest to the drama, speak with finer enthusiasm, and have a more inspired vision of a Chamber of Commerce that will not only serve the whole student body but also mingle more intimately with the life of the community. —William V. McCay • (MMM ' I ' al llrailia Review • • • With bewitching mysterj in • ' The Light of the Pumpkin , thrills in The Wedding and The Romancers , with rollicking fun in the seniors premier offering, Peg ( ' My Heart , and with a full measure of the philosophy of life in The Finger of God , culminating in all the lightness and grace that dramatic- interpretations could contribute to the opera, Sweethearts , the drama department ha offered a program which has completely demonstrated its versatility to Polj audiences. The finished productions of the depart- ment have been attained through the capable and outstanding leadership of Lillian V. Breed. Once again after the three lean years following the loss of her auditorium Poly has achieved an opera. Students having dramatic parts in the presentation received intensive coaching under the able directing of Arthur B. Gleditzsch. The second semester again saw the oral Shakespeare classes resumed under the direction of Mr. Gleditzsch, whose guidance in Shakespearean interpretation has brought so many of his students into the dramatic limelight. The oral expression classes are conducted as a workshop, where students are taught the fundamentals of dramatics. Later, they appear in Masque and Sandal plays and in other dramatic productions. Poly is well represented in the professional drama field by former stu- dents who are outstanding in stage productions at Poly. At all times civic clubs and groups, radio broadcasts, and school groups have request- ed programs from the department, and members have willingly compiled with such requests. The value to the students in the presentation of these programs will be apparent to them in their future work. CAER1 LEA LIGHT OF THE PUMPKIN- Hardee, Pedersen. Menzell. Johnson, Hunter. Woods.

The portrayal of Light of the Pumpkin , The Wedding , and The Romancers followed in impressive and rapid succession. Light of the Pumpkin , a Hallowe ' en play, was packed with spine-tingling thrills and surprises. Subtly comical situations preparing for the title event, The Wedding , filled the play with interest. The Romancers proved mock-serious with just a touch of sentimentality in its theme of two lovers drawn together by the pretended feud of their fathers. Finger of God presented before the B.P.O.E. was immensely effective and earned a reward of praise for the players. Six students who had parts in the 1935 senior play — The Melting Pot — returned to lend their able support with the other members of Masque and Sandal to these dramatic contributions. Masque and Sandal again has proved its great value to students interested in dramatics. In this club students are given training in technique, self-assurance, voice, and posture — all important in developing the good actor. Each semester tryouts are given to determine the personnel of Masque and Sandal. Those who have had dramatic training usually prove to be best suited. Masque and Sandal members also take parts in the senior plays. This year several members of the club appeared in the opera, Sweethearts . Miss Lillian Breed is the adviser of this dramatic group. Miss Breed and club members are interested in the Southern California Festival of the Allied Art held in the spring, and as Cae- rulea went to press hoped to receive recognition for scenes from Peg 0 ' My Heart — the senior play — and the monologues which they planned to enter. . E114 Senior IMSIV • • • gain Poly ' s dramatic superiority was evident in the superb production of the senior play, Peg O ' My Heart, the romantic comedy in three acts by J. Harllex Manners. This delightful play was presented March 19 and 20 1 two outstanding casts. The unique situation was made possible by the unusual supply of well balanced material. The casts were as follows: Peg — Pat Dudley, Annine Pederson: Jerry — Burnett Ferguson, Weckford Morgan; Alaric — Carson Hetlei : Ethel — Hazel Mae Owen: Brent — Don Hunter. Jean Stevens; Mrs. Chichester — Emily Men ell: Hawkes— Joe Woods, Walter Windsor; Jarvis — Paul Plattenberger; and Bennett — Jane Spuhler, Lillian Payton. The leads of both casts gave superb performances almost equaling those of professionals and were remarkab- l supported by the cast. The majority of the players had had dramatic training through previous work in Masque and Sandal. The story concerns a young Irish girl who inherits the estate of her rich English uncle. She arrives in England to live with her snobbish British cousins. She meets a friend of the family, Jerry, who happens to be her unknown guardian, and falls in love with him. Her cousins oppose their friendship, and as in the ending of all good plays, the heroine, Peg, promises to marry the hero, Jerry. Miss Breed, Poly ' s capable dramatics director coached the production. The stage- craft workers and the stage crew, directed by Miss Helen Hoff and Harry Foster, collaborated in splendid sets. The advertising department under Richard Vermilya managed the campaign. The orchestra was directed by Anthony Gill, and Mr. Frisch directed the news publicity through High Life. The ticket sale was conducted by Mrs. Kappler and the ticket sellers. CAERULEA PEG O ' MY HEART (SECOND PERFORMANCE)— L e f t to right: Menzell. Hetler.

CAERULEA • Stage Cl  fi • • • Service to Polytechnic High School and lo the community is the aim of the stage craft and costume class. In every program the class tries to aid the audience in appreciation of beauty through the stage. Because of the complex art work necessary for this attainment, preliminary training is required before a student can enroll in the class. The class, which this year contained twenty-five students, arranged excellent and unique backgrounds and costumes for all Polv assemblies and programs. The senior play. ' Teg 0 ' My Heart , the comic opera, Sweethearts , and the Christmas Concert represented the supreme efforts of the group, which were well repaid by the admiration accorded the settings and costumes. Miss Hoff as the adviser merits appreciation for her unusual work and development of originality. • StaggO Crew • • • The stage crew works behind the scenes so un- obtrusively that students often overlook the work so necessary to the success of every stage production put on at Poly. Members of the group not only paint sets and arrange the lighting, printing, and carpentry but also rise to a multitudinous array of emergencies. Twelve boys are enrolled for this work, which is an extra-curricular activity. In order to earn the stage crew award the boys must put in one hundred and twenty- five hours in two consecutive semesters and must have passing grades in all other subjects. The driving power behind the students of the crew is Mr. Foster, who aids them in tackling the various problems which sometimes seem to defy solution. Mr. Foster instructs the boys in all phases of the work which must be done in order to insure the type of program to which the Poly students are accustomed. • p« ' IH ' l .

The combined senior glee clubs, the a eapella choir, and the chorus have presented many lovely programs characteristic of the Poly vocalists. Th j band and orchestra performed numbers that were attractively arranged and produced. Highlights in the school ' s production were the Christmas concert and the opera, Sweethearts . The Christmas concert, one of the most beautiful and inspiring of bible scenes ever produced, was financially hacked for the first time by the City of Long Beach. It was presented on two successive nights and drew thousands of city residents. The vocal groups under the direction of Miss Mary Shouse and Mrs. Marian Higgins excelled all previous groups in the beauty and harmony. In Mav the combined senior glee clubs offered Victor Herbert ' s musical comedy, Sweethearts . With an excellent cast and a perfectly trained chorus the production proved one of the finest ever presented in Poly ' s history. Revolving around the love affair of Princess Sylvia. Prince Franz, Lieutenant Karl, and pretty Liane, the opera was intensely interesting and delightful. The orchestra under the direction of Anthony F. Gill proved a valuable asset in the opera, senior play, and graduation exercises.The band performed many times before the school and in athletic contests outside of Long Beach. At the football carnival the members presented a unique act with the massed bands of the other three schools. With the rebuilding of the auditorium, Poly is coming bac k to its old reputation of presenting worth-while programs. ' Sweethearts was the climax of a year of interesting entertainment by the music department. ■ r Jfij STRING TRIO— Left to right: Harvey-piano, Engle-cello.

This was the opinion of John W. Teed of the Long Beach Sun in a review of the concert written on the day after the presentation and voicing the pleasure with which the musicale is an- ticipated annually by the citizens of Long Beach. The Municipal Auditorium housed an appreciative audience at the general public performance on Sunday, December 15, and again at the Monday night concert given for The Teachers ' Institute and the student body of Poly. Soft notes of the chimes, lending an ecclesiastical atmosphere, announced the open- ing of the concert. The lights were dimmed, and the strains of the Angel ' s Song (Hibler), s ung by the Girls ' Senior Glee Club floated from the darkened stage. The setting was that of an immense cathedral with the Senior Glee Clubs seated in a chancel before lofty stained glass windows. At the opening measures of Adeste Fideles , from the main floor of the auditorium came the girls of the chorus, moving toward the stage in a processional ; while the boys, led from back stage by two candle bearers, made an impressive entrance. The choral groups and the Senior and Junior Glee Clubs carolled age-old Christ- mas hymns leading to the first visualization, And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night , Luke 2:8. During the visualization June Burkhardt, accompanied by the Senior Glee Clubs, sang the beautiful selection, There Were Shepherds (Vincent). 0 Holy Night , . CHRISTMAS ' . the.

In presenting the next tableau, the combined i lulls sang Sleep. i l Little One ' (Montans). This introduced the familiar ie v of Mary, Joseph, and the Babe of the revelation, For unto you is born this da in the cit] of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord , Luke 2:11. The string ensemble introduced the visualization of the Three Magi in their call to King Herrod. This was wonderfully portrayed and led to one more excellent portrayal — that of the magi ' s visit to the manger. Then came the greatest ones, the superb concluding selections — Glory to God (Pergolloset and the Hallelujah Chorus (The Mes- siah — Handel), which even glorified the Glorification of the Mad onna . Ethel Ardis, a former head of Poly ' s music department, was the originator of this beautiful portrayal, and it remains a living memorial to her. To produce such a successful presentation requires much work and time from the faculty and student body. The faculty members responsible for this concert included Mary Shouse, the general chairman and director of the Senior Glee Clubs and Chorus; Mrs. Marion Higgins, director of Girls ' Junior Glee Club; Anthony F. Gill, conductor of the string ensemble; Edith Wyant and Ann Aaronson, pianists, Arthur Gleditzsch, visualization director; Helen Hoff, art director; Richard Vermilya, manager of ushers; and Albert B. Fincher, chairman of the faculty sponsors. Appreciation is also due to those teachers who assisted at rehearsals and behind the scenes on the presentation nights. All worked ceaselessly with the students to make the portrayal a success for Poly and a memorable experience to those privi- leged thus to interpret the Christmas spirit.

On May thirteenth a matinee was given for the junior high school students of the city; and on the fourteenth and fifteenth the production was repeated for the Poly student body and its friends. Sylvia (Shirley Yost) is the long-lost princess for whom the prince incognito (Stuart Warwick) is searching. Tragedy begins when he finds her betrothed to Lieutenant Karl (Burnett Ferguson). In the meantime the lieutenant is also making love to Liane (Mary Jones), who is mistaken for the princess. The trials of the lovers, interpreted by the Senior Girls ' and Boys ' Glee Clubs, were told in Robert B. Smith ' s words and lyrics with the ever- popular music of Victor Herbert. The glee clubs under Miss Mary Shouse, director, had the cooperation of many departments of the school in presenting the opera. The first orchestra, instructed by Anthony Gill, accompanied the glees. Miss ' Elva Gates was the director of the dancing action, and Arthur Gleditzsch directed the dramatic action. Helen Hoff supervised the stage-craft and costume designing; the clothing classes under Miss Elva Richards and Miss Stella Lunn made the costumes. The stage crew worked under the direction of Harry Foster. Advertising, ushers, and student managers were directed by Richard Vermilya. Mrs. Harriette Kappler and two student ticket sellers managed the sale of tickets. The faculty committee for the production compri sed Edward Brainard, Claude Freeman, and Richard Vermilya. Sweethearts concluded the works of the Senior Glee clubs for this year. • BCSIIIX Arts S( ri0S • • • Under the management of Ira D. Morgan of the Adult Education Department the Beaux Arts Series, presented at Polys Auditorium, brought to Long Beach something new in the way of intellectual achievement during the past year. The first attraction was handsome Nelson Eddy. Eddy, by his personality and voice, seemed in contact with the house from the beginning of his first selection until the very last note of his sixth or seventh encore. The next event on the concert series was the appearance of the Vienna Boys ' Choir. Founded in 1498, the choral group is one of the best known in the world. The eldest member is sixteen, and the youngest is eight. Several transcontinental trips have been made bv the eighteen members of the group. Patrons of this event were astonished at the skill displayed by boys so young. On January 27 Jose Iturbi. substituting for Joseph Lehvinne, astonished the audience with his prowess at the pianoforte. Although billed as sensational, Iturbi surprised his listeners with his brilliant technique and charmed everyone with his personality. Appearing as Madame Butterfly, Hizi Koyke, beautiful and talented Japanese operatic soprano, had the opera enthusiasts demanding curtain call after curtain call. The San Carlo Opera Company was outstanding in its interpretation of Puccini ' s opera. In the closing concert the Barrere, Salzedo, Britt Trio was definitely an innovation. Georges Barrere has been declared the worlds ' premier virtuoso on the flute. Walter Damrosch says of Salzedo, I do not think that there is a man living today who is a better exponent of the harp. ' Horace Britt ' s solo work is characterized as more than a mere recital — a real artistic feast.

Gill, director and adviser. The object of this orchestra is to provide for students who are new to Poly an organization that will prepare them for later work in the senior group. To any- one who desires to continue his musical education in preparation for a career the organization is an invaluable proving ground for his ability. For those who enjoy music and music-making merely as a hobby, the experience gained through partici- pation in the activities of the group proves both enjoyable and interesting. The number enrolled in the beginning orchestra for the second semester was forty-eight. This is the largest aggregation of its kind to be assembled here for several years. • First OrclieStrSl • • • The First Orchestra under the direction of Anthony F. Gill, is the most advanced group of the instrumental section of the music department. Beyond all other work that can be offered in the high school, the organization provides the training for professional work in later life. Among the year ' s activities of the group are numbered the graduation program and P. T. A. meeting, senior play, and music week. To the string section, working in conjunction with the Boys ' and Girls ' Senior Glee Clubs may be attributed a large part of the success of the Christmas concert. The entire orchestra cooperated again with Miss Mary Shouse, director of the glee clubs, in presenting the light opera, Sweethearts , by Victor Herbert. Officers were Irene Engle, president; Helen Krohn, vice president; Charles Stevens, secretary-treasurer; Winfred Duncan, James Burlingame, committee of two. On March 27 the society sponsored a dance at Recreation Park. • The l oly lligll BsilKl • • • Presenting a colorful array in their uniforms of green, gold, and white and playing a snappy march, the seventy-five members of the Poly Band furnished pep at athletic events of the year. Essential to the success of the band were the four drum majors, all masters in the art of twirling a baton, who added entertainment at the intermission between halves of the games. Equally creditable has been their appearance in parades at other Southern California cities. The management of the band is under student as well as faculty supervision. Bob Dawes as president and his co-workers: Earl Maddox, vice-president; Maybelle Parsons, secretary-treasurer; and a committee of two, Bob Dixon and Roy Brocklehurst, handled the affairs of the group. Much of the credit, however, is due to Anthony F. Gill, conductor, who worked throughout the year to make the organization one of the finest in Southern California. • String and Instrumental Ensembles • • • Under the skilful tutorship of Mrs. Marion Higgins the string instrument group, with an enrollment of nineteen students, was started on the road of learning to play the violin, - viola, violoncello, or double bass. Each year pupils in this class are prepared for future orchestra and instrumental work. Because it builds up the band and orchestra with ins truments that otherwise would not be available, the instrumental ensemble is most important to the success of the band and orchestra, according to Anthony F. Gill, instructor and director of the group. In this class students are taught to play the brass, woodwind, and percussion instruments in preparation for future work with the senior or junior orchestra or band. Some instruments are furnished by the school at no cost to the students. CAERULEA school d a val- POLY HI BAND In front: At- kinson, Scheffner, McKnight. Wilson. First row: Hazard.

Not only did the group contribute much to these programs but they also had a prominent place in assemblies, commencement exercises, and baccalaureate services. Besides these school activities the organization appeared before the Lions Club, Breakfast Club, Congregational Church, and the Long Beach Automobile Show. Under the direction of Miss Mary Shouse and Edith Wyant, accompanist, the class prepares boys for professional training through public appearances. Officers of the year were Lee Roberts, president; Paul Plattenberger, vice president; Burnett Ferguson, treasurer; Darwin Dawson, publicity representative. • Senior Girls Glee Club • • • By participating in assemblies, P.T.A. programs, Commencement, baccalaureate, and programs for many civic groups and service clubs throughout the year, the Senior Girls ' Glee Club proved itself of inestimable value to the school. The important project for the first semester was the impressive Christmas Concert. The light opera, Sweethearts , by Victor Herbert, claimed the attention of the group during the second semester. Major advantages enjoyed by the sixty-one girls enrolled in the Senior group include training for a career in later life, the pleasure of working with others. Officers of the club were June Burkhardt, president; Jean Dexter, vice-president; Kathryn Orman, secretary, and Lily Arikawa, treasurer. Besides sponsoring and teaching the girls, Miss Mary Shouse directed all their public programs. She was CAERULEA ably assisted by Anne Aaronson, accompanist, substitute for Miss Sarah Pepple. • Junior Girls ' Glee Club • • • Under the direction of Mrs. Maium Higgins and accompanied Kd lh W ' yanl, the Junior Girls ' Glee Cluh has made splendid progress during the past year. Besides taking part in the annual Christmas Concert the organization has appeared in public performances many times since last fall. Membership in the group af lords girls an appreciation of music and a cultural background, besides giving the opportunity of working with others. The organization gives preparatory train- ing for those who are preparing for membership in the Senior Glee Club or the A Capella Choir. During the past semester the enrollment was forty members, which number, al- though not large, lent itself to the attainment of harmony, as each member received much individual attention. CAERUEHA • | J v Quartette • • • Blending in close harmony, the voices of the I ' oh Quartette have won commendation during the past year by representing our school in civic programs. The boys have been kept busy filling appointments to sing before such organizations as the Business Womens ' Club, Junior Exchange, and the Searchlight Lodge. In this manner they have made contacts with the citizens of Long Beach and thus have done much toward winning friends for Poly. E ach member is required to carry his own part without assistance in order to strengthen his singing ability. By singing all types of numbers, the boys have become acquainted with different types of music. Members of the quartette and their parts are Eugene Heasley, first tenor; Burnett Ferguson, second tenor; Paul Plattenberger, baritone: Dick Hunton, bass. Edith Wyant instructed and accompanied.

Each year the major project of the group is the work on this processional and on the choral numbers in the concert. Eighty voices blending in songs suitable for the combination of girls ' and boys ' voices make the choral group one of the novel organizations of the music department. Students enjoy working not only on the immediate projects but in preparation for later work in the glee clubs or a capella choir. Miss Mary Shouse, as director and adviser of the group, has worked tirelessly to give the members instruction and to prepare them for their future work in the vocal groups. Miss Anne Aaronson, who substituted for Miss Pepple during her absence, played the accompaniments for all numbers. • A i Jl | |H ' ll;i i hoil • • • Organized in Eebruary this year, the a cappella choir, under the direction of Mary Shouse, is already one of the most valued of the music groups. In this organization students are given an opportunity to study early Russian sacred music and English choir arrangements. The course was added to the school curriculum to develop appreciation of sacred music and also the in- dependence to be gained by singing without piano accompaniment. The piano, how- ever, is used during rehearsal of the more difficult numbers. In the past the a cappella choir has been a valuable part of the music department of the school, as it was one of the most important factors in the presentation of the Christmas Concert. Under the guidance of Miss Shouse and the accompanist, Miss Anne Aaronson, this type of music will soon hold its former place in school affairs. • 1?01 GI1SM? Ifoviow • • • With the telephone constantly ringing, the secretary typing programs, and enthusiastic speakers entertaining many organi- zations, the Junior Speakers ' Bureau and Speakers ' Workshop have had a year full of speaking activities. The leaders of Long Beach are recognizing the talents of Poly speakers, and the Bureau is rushed with calls for programs over the radio, tor school and civic clubs, and for luncheon groups. The Junior Speakers ' Bureau, which was originated two years ago, has become a vital part of Polytechnic and a valuable aid to business organizations. Student speakers may present problems to business groups who cannot find time to study and yet are interested in social and economic questions. Thus a strong link is formed between Polytechnic High School and the citizens of Long Beach. In preparation for public appearances, talks are given before the members of the Speakers ' Workshop, meeting daily, and are open for discussion. Therefore many different viewpoints and corrections are obtained. The Workshop also conducts forums on current problems. With approximately four hundred speeches presented by members of the group, the year has indeed been a busy one. Social events have not been overlooked. At the annual Poly-Wilson banquet held in January, Wilson acted as host to the Junior Speakers of both schools. An excellent dinner, a Major Bowes ' amateur hour, diverting games, and dancing made the evening a memorable one. Noteworthy events of the two semesters were the Discovery Day program, the third annual Poly-Wilson discussion, the debate on the Supreme Court, the panel on the Franchise, the eighth annual Athletes ' Speaking Contest, and February and June commencement speeches. All were under the direction of Mr. McCay. CAERULKA FORENSICS — Future Long Beach leaders practice public speaking in a room decorated with helpful slogans and signs.

Shall I become a lawyer, doctor, or journalist? This question is so vital to both youth and educators that the theme for the third annual Poly-Wilson dis- cussion was Youth Looks at Business and the Professions . Eight speakers, four from Polytechnic and four from Wilson, gave their views on various professions, telling of the social responsibilities of the people engaged in different occupations and callings. The program was given at the First Methodist Church on February 2 as the evening church service. Brilliant and well-prepared talks by the student speakers held the attention of the audience. Polytechnic ' s four representatives and their subjects were June Stewart, speaking on Public Service as a Career ; Edward Heffner, discussing Social Re- sponsibilities of the Banker ; Alicemargaret Benson, on Social Function of the Bus- iness Man in a Democracy ; and Frederick Stuthman, The Minister in the Modern Era . Wilson had four excellent speakers and topics: James Baker, Educational Leadership in a Changing Social Order ; Philip Evans, Medicine at the Cross- roads ; Bette Meigs, The Lawyer ' s Debt to Society ; and Mortimer Stein, A Free Press for a Free People. Dr. Merrill introduced the two instructors, Mr. McCay of Polytechnic and Mr. Pierce of Wilson. As a result of the joint project of the two schools the keen competition which has pre- viously existed between Polytechnic and Wilson has been replaced by a spirit of friendship and co-operation. The Poly-Wilson discussion is an excellent means of cementing friendship of these two Long Beach high schools. Ilium? • N|M ' « ' l k«T « WotS ' lisllOII • • • Will llic meeting ]i!ea.so come to order? Thus opens another daih session of Poly ' s wide-awake Speakers ' Workshop. All through the year there were fireworks as discussions on currenl topics and school affairs were in progress. Daih the prospective Wehsters who comprised the group became more capable of tackling hard subjects that might he used as topics for important speeches. With more elaborate and effective programs as their aim, the members worked untiringly under the skillful training of Mr. McCay. Panel discussions, debates, and enter- taining and informative speeches delighted many groups. Besides programs for nearly all Poly organizations, student forums were presented, with the members showing pleasure and intense interest. CALK I LEA • Junior Speakers Bureau • • • With holiday speeches, forums on current topics, and big public programs, the Junior Speakers ' Bureau, comprising over fifty members, has had a profitable year, filling as high as two hundred engagements for speakers. The Bureau is a group that is known for its high caliber, and organizations of Long Beach are constantly requesting programs. The year ' s activities had a flying start with the Discovery Day program, followed by the athletes speaking contest. The Poly-Wilson discussion and the stirring debate on the powers of the Supreme Court came in rapid order. Patriotic speeches for all holi- days and a panel on The Franchise were repeated presentations. Current topics, travel, book reviews, and biographies were also popular. Unquestionably the Junior Speakers ' Bureau has accomplished its aim of promoting interest and good will between citizens and students of Long Beach. i spirit ( SPEAKERS ' WORKSHOP— Front row: Benson, Horner Lyon, Holton, Tillery, Evans, Robinson, Heffner, Morgan, Lineberger, Camp.

The organization, which was started last year, has made definite progress and has become a vital part of Poly activities. The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to form a closer link between the people of Long Beach and Poly students through various projects. The organization is divided into bureaus, each of which sponsors some school project during the year. Mayor Fletcher fired the opening gun in September with a talk on municipal government. Municipal government suggested national procedure; and Byron Scott, representative from Long Beach, gave a delightful recounting of activities in our national capital. The Chamber of Commerce sponsored the Athletes ' Speaking Contest and through excellent management created student enthusiasm for the fray. The efforts of the organization in the second semester brought the Long Beach Municipal Band, which gave a concert in the Poly auditorium, with Herbert Clark directing, the selections being those favorites requested by the students. Courtesy vveek, March 16-20, was another successful undertaking. The Girls ' League, adver- tising department, and speaking department co-operated by each providing one day ' s program. The climax was an assembly with Miss Cloud, director of personnel at Woodbury College, giving a most enlightening talk on Applying for a Job . The two faculty advisers were Miss Lodwick and Mr. McCay. Student officers were presidents, Willard Robinson and Edward Heffner, and their secretaries, Bethel Neal and Mary Davis. Bureau chairmen were Harry Ailman, Weckford Morgan, Ina Sugi- hara, Dale Tillery. Jim Lineberger, Charles Stevens, and Leon Culp. • (pOIIPI ' ill Military H « i« V • • • Under the capable leader- ship of Major James C. Hughes and Staff Sergeanl Ben 11. Griffin, the Polytechnic unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps has made great strides during the year of 1935-36. The primary aim of all R. 0. T. C. training is the development of good citizenship and the molding of the finer qualities of character. Loyalty, patriotism, self-reliance, initiative, and leadership are stressed. Much credit is due the cadet officers for their work this year. During the year they have done more than their share in perfecting the mechanics of the unit ' s work and in promoting a feeling of comradeship among the cadets. The Poly unit consists of two companies, of three platoons each, and a band. This year the unit has attained an enrollment of one hundred and seventy cadets, the highest in eleven years. For several years the unit has been gradually growing and, owing to the fact that the War Department all otment for high schools has not been increased rapidly, only those who show themselves worthy and interested are allowed to remain. The rifle platoons spend Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays on Burcham Field in uniform, drilling in both close order and extended order formations. On Wednesday the instructors conduct classes in theoretical military training. On Friday the cadets engage in various kinds of athletics. The Trick Rifle Squad spends this time at drill. In addition to playing on the field on drill days, the band has marched in parades with the unit and appeared at various school and civic functions. Under the direction of Anthony F. Gill, it has become the largest band the R. 0. T. C. has had in several years, numbering 35 members.

An officer from some nearby army post is detailed to act as inspector. There is a field inspection, in which the officer examines the cadets ' equipment and watches them as they go through various close- order maneuvers and a theoretical examination. For this last the hoys are divided into three groups, according to the number of years they have served in the unit, and questioned closely concerning their theoretical training. The third-year boys are held responsible for everything taught in the Junior R.O.T.C. Manual. They are quizzed upon such topics as map reading and map making, scouting and patrolling, combat principles, military hygiene, and first aid. Each year, after the inspection is over, various competitions are held. The most important of these are the platoon and company competitions. The rivalry caused by these events is a great incentive to the cadets for perfecting their drill and working together as one unit, whether it be as squad, platoon, or company- The platoons and companies go through various close-order drills and are judged upon their appearance, their precision, and their ability to execute the variety of commands given. A handsome cup is given as the prize for each division. Each cup has inscribed upon it the year, the name of the company or the platoon which won it, and the name of the commanding officer. In 1935 the cup for the best company was awarded to Company A, with Captain Paul Lichti in command. The platoon prize was won by the First Platoon of Company A, commanded by Lieutenant Stewart L. Babbitt. In addition to these prizes, medals furnished by Harbor Chapter CAERULEA Number 64, National Sojourners, are given each year to the best private, the best Hey) PACE 133 non-commissioned officer, and the best commissioned officer. The. cadets compete for CAERULEA these awards throughout the year. A close check is kept upon each student in both his theoretical and his field work. The medals are awarded soon after the inspection is over. This year, for the first time, medals for the best performance of the Manual of Arms were offered by the Loup; Beach Spanish War Veterans Camp. Beginning late in the first semester, the R.O.T.C. this year held social afternoons on each Thursday from three to five P.M. in the American Legion Hall. These affairs were attended enthusiastically by the cadets. A part of the time was devoted to dancing lessons for those who could not dance or who wished to learn the newest steps: the rest was spent in social games and ballroom dancing. • Tl it«li Itii ' lf SflllSIfl • • • Presentation of an entertaining fancy rifle drill is the purpose of the Trick Rifle Squad. The organization has performed before various civic organizations, such as the American Legion, the Veterans of For- eign Wars, the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Parent Teachers Asso- ciation, and the Sciots. It also appeared before the Officers ' Mess at their meetings. The Squad drilled many mornings before school and during lunch periods, per- fecting the drill and learning new fancy movements in the manual of arms. The drill is based upon the ordinary manual; but it is amplified and extended. Owing to the peculiar nature of their manual, the men of the squad must attain a high degree of accuracy and co-ordination, as the slightest variation in timing is extremely noticeable. One of their most effective movements is the Silent Manual, in which the squad goes through the entire manual of arms without commands from the leader.

Although Poly lost by a narrow margin, the defeat was not one of which to be ashamed, as Poly was not invited to participate in the meet until late in the year and had but a scant two weeks for the selection of a represen- tative platoon and for preparation. A preliminary contest, in which Poly lost to Pasadena, was held at Poly a week before the main event. In the official competition held on the Junior College field in Pasadena on January 24, Poly lost to Pasadena by a margin of 1.2 points. The final score was Pasadena 93.5, Long Beach 92.3, and Riverside 85. The units were graded upon appearance and marching in review, personal inspection, manual of arms, close order drill, special drills, and variety of commands given. The 1935-36 R.O.T.C. band is indeed worthy of the unit. Under the direction of Mr. Anthony F. Gill, who took charge of the Poly Band and orchestra department in the fall of 1934, it has advanced greatly, until it now numbers thirty-five members. This is the largest size it has attained in some years. The band played on J)e field on drill days and marched with the unit in all parades, in addition to performing at many school and civic affairs. It also combined with the football band lo play at football games and assemblies. One of the most important of the unit ' s annual civic activities is the ushering done CAERULEA by many of the cadets at the Navy Ball, the Presidential Ball, the Navy Day and PV Army Day programs, and other important civic celebrations. Ever since an R. 0. T. C. unit was established at Long Beach Polytechnic High, the cadets have turned out enthusiastically for these affairs, although attendance has been purely voluntary. Invariably, after the P.. 0. T. C. has served in this capacity, letters have been received by the officer in charge of the unit, commending the work of the cadets and of the unit as a whole. The highlight of the R. 0. T. C. social calendar is the annual military ball, which occurs late in the second semester. The event is held at the armory in Long Beach. Music is furnished by a good orchestra, and vaudeville acts, including singing and tap dancing, are put on between dances. • IS ill ' I Vaill • • • Comprising, as it does, the fifteen best marksmen in the unit, the R.O.T.C. Rifle Squad promotes keen competition among the cadets. The best marksmen are selected by a process of elimination. The group practices constantly throughout the year in order to keep in the best possible condition. Late in the year competitions are held with thirty-nine other R.O.T.C. units in the Ninth Corps Area, which is made up of the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. The cadets are taught to shoot in a variety of positions, including the prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing positions, so that they will be able to take advantage of or adapt themselves to any circumstances. Members also learn how to use the rifle sling in shooting, the correct trigger squeeze, and various other aids to better shooting. The ten highest members are entitled to receive letters: while the rest act as substitutes.

Bulls JACK RABBIT BURROW Trails of flickering shadows, Fragrance of pine needles, Essence of green things — All these lure those who Trek to mountain camp. ft I School Relationship Clubs Societies • School Relationships • • • It is the three R ' s which earn a living, but it is the frills which give zest and joy to life. That statement, made years ago, is only partially true. Time changes concepts. Today there are new trends in edu- cation. We have learned that it takes more than knowledge to earn a living; we must have ideas of social conduct — we need to be able to live with people. So the frills of yesterday have now become a necessary part of the foundation upon which to build a fine life. Today, as never before, there is a demand for victorious living. No one who lives within himself lives joyously. Knowledge, skills, appreciation of beauty, the spirit of play — these we need to share with others . Where else can we find a better chance to share than here at school in our campus life? The many- clubs and organizations al Polytechnic offer countless opportunities to make friends, to play, to practice and perfect skills, to cultivate creative imagination. These are the things which make life worth living. Let us, then, make intelligent use of our leisure time and e aluate our activities in terms of happiness and health. — Violet D. Lacy SOCIAL HALL— Poly ' s Social Hall provides a pleasant place for busi- ness meetings and parties of all school organizations. LUNCH AREA— The friendly at- mosphere of Poly life is most evi- dent in the lunch area. s TURF— Many students enjoy the.r lunch period by relaxing in the warm sunshine on the turf.

It was due to the increased popularity of horsemanship that this club was organized during the 1936 semester. Members have found the hobby a most satisfactory one, since it is healthful as well as social. Officers for the semester were president, Bob Crieringer; vice-president, Floyd Decker; secretary-treasurer, Chuck Walker. Mr. Detrick acted as the club ' s adviser. • El Club Chapultepee • • • Here ' s something new in clubs. Credit for founding El Club Chapultepec goes to Ben Nieto, the first president.

Officers were presidents, Ben Nieto, Jessie Castro; vice-presidents, Jessie Castro, Harry Linares; secretaries, Mary Linares, Grace Santa Cruz; treasurer, Rosalie Seja. • Young Scribblers • • • Under the direction of Miss Norton and Miss Moulton, the Young Scribblers meet every other week to develop the art of literary expression. One of the principal means by which this end is accomplished is the criticism of manuscripts written by the member s. Thinking that some day these writings might have some monetary value, the club this year decided to com- pile them in pamphlet form. The collection will not only be extremely interesting but will be an aid to the young authors in self-criticism. Officers were presidents, Leonard Sargent and Virginia Wilson; secretaries, Sue Ashley and Jean Benner. • Junior Cirgoninn • • ' • One of Poly ' s most successful clubs is the Junior Cirgonian, formerly known as Junior Exchange. The full meaning of the Greek word, Cirgonian, a circle for defense and unity, is well interpreted in the friendliness between business men of Long Beach and the leaders of Poly ' s school activities. Membership is obtained through invitation by those who prove themselves actively interested in school affairs. Officers were presidents, Jim Line- berger, Roger Clemens; vice-presidents, Bob Gorbould, Aaron Klein; secretaries, Bob Canan, Jack Evans; treasurers, Evert Howard, Bill Barton.

Miss Abernathy is the sponsor. • Phi IMll Kappa • • • Students who are interested in medicine and dentistry make up the membership of this club.

The president the first semester was Doris Homer; the second semester, Bob Wonnel. The vice-president the first semester was Hazel Baysinger; the second semester, Jean Watson. The secretary-treasurer the first semester was Maxine White; the second semester, Helen Hoffman. Mr. Lichti guided the activities of the club.

Then I want to see them educated to use such leisure for their own enjoyment and betterment and the strengthening of the quality of citizenship. The foremost leaders of our country have frequently urged us during the past decade to prepare ourselves for the increasing amount of leisure time which will be ours because of the changing economic and social conditions. The value of play in the development of the individual has long been recognized by leaders in educational practice. The Greeks reached a high degree of perfection in their intellectual and artistic development because of their devotion to a sound program of physical growth. On the other hand, Rome fell because its citizens ceased to work and devoted themselves to play. But the Romans did not play; they watched other men play. Let us remember, so that we may not experience the mistakes made by other civil- izations, that wise use of the time we have available after the routine of the day s responsibilities may include such things as appreciation of art, reading a good book, joy in working among growing things in the garden, or creating in the workshop, seasoned with enough time in the great out-of-doors to bring us back to the joy with enthusiasm and a fresh point of view to do the work. — James C. Peniicell • Tll4 k lllC IoSSJIl$ S • • • Caerulea is proud lo present here messages from state and community leaders in park ami recreational work, ulio join their greetings to those expressed by the sponsor in the introductory pages of this book: • WILLIAM E. COLPA. Chairman of California Park Commission • • • The people of the slate of California now own one of finest systems of state parks in the entire Union. Grasping an unusual opportunity during his depression period, the State has acquired as park areas the finest samples of seacoast, forest, mountain, stream, and lake at bargain prices. Considered merely as an investment in its most-favored lands, these out- standing areas will become worth many times their purchase price. 3ut they have a far greater value. They are one of the State ' s most important assets — exceeding in alue even the fabulous fortunes in gold and oil that have poured from its lavish soil, because the value of these park areas is inexhaustible and imperishable. For all time to come they will, with in- creasing lure, attract visiting thousands from other states and lands and thus add materially to our revenues. Not only will this outside wealth be attracted in ever increasing amount, but the parks have values for the people of our own state that are beyond appraisement. Places for out- of-door recreation where we can gain peace of mind and health of body are vital to modern life. • P. E. HATCH, Commissioner, State Division of Parks • • • That the Long Beach Polytechnic High School should select as a theme for its year book— CALIFORNIA ' S NATURAL PLAYGROUNDS — is greatly to be commended. It would be a difficult thing to choose a subject of greater educational worth, of broader scope, or of more inspiring outlook. The great size of California, its longitudinal extent, with a coast line of almost a thousand miles, its magnificent beaches, its extensive mountain ranges, variety of climate, the fact that for these reasons, it contains some of the finest specimens of trees and forested areas to be found anywhere in the world, all multiply its great value for the student interested in out- door life. The magnitude and importance of the values arising, directly and indirectly, from the enjoyment of scenery and from related pleasures of outdoor life are incalculably great. • CLYDE DOYLE, President, Recreation Commission, Long Beach • • • Greetings! And my compliments upon your selection of a theme for Caerulea this year — California ' s Natural Playgrounds. It is synon- omous with recreation, and recreation is synonomous with the wise and happy use of leisure time. Loafing and wasting time — for lack of knowledge as to ways and means of using it wisely — saps not only the physical but the mental and spiritual resources of an individual and a nation. A life seeking outlet in recreative purposes and programs; participating in activities, instead of being enter- tained, is certain to be happier and healthier than otherwise. Being recreationally illiterate is at least as dangerous to individuals and nations as being unlearned and unlettered. A purposeful life becomes more powerful than ever by virtue of having the spirit of play in it and knowing what to do when you have nothing to do. My hat is always off to good old Poly , to its Student Body, and its wonderful ' ■Daddy Burcham and faculty. ;; s • The handles of the Lord • • • it would be difficult to convince one who has seen the yucca of the Southern California foothills in its full blown and stately beauty, that there is a more magnificent flower anywhere. At the height of the flowering season in May or June the lower reaches of such canyons as San Antonio and Cajon present a panorama never to be forgotten. No wonder this queen among panicles is protected legally against the vandal who cannot enjoy beauty without destroying it! Yucca whipplei is the most admired member of the genus because of the staleliness and size of the flower stalk as well as the gorgeous symmetry of the panicle of ivory-white, bell-shaped blooms. Where soil and moisture conditions are particularly favorable and on timbered slopes, the flower stalk sometimes reaches a height of fourteen feet. This species is more widely distributed than the others, being found generally throughout the mountains of the southern third of the State. Its altitudinal range is from the valley fringes to over seven thousand feet. Unlike the other three western species, whipplei flowers but once, then dies. After a developmental period of a decade or more, during which the crown of the plant is protected by a dense rosette of needle pointed, stiff, dagger- like leaves, the flower stalk develops from the center of the rosette in a period of two or three weeks, the time depending on the temperature condi- tions. In a surprisingly short time the fruit is set, following pollenation by the Pronuba moth, and within a few months a whitened skeleton is all that remains to remind us of this masterpiece of nature. Soon after the flowers become fully developed, one will see swa rming with- in the individual blooms small moths, similar in general appearance to clothes moths, except for the light creamy color. Being night fliers, they are relatively inactive during the daytime. At night the female carefully gathers a ball of pollen, for which purpose she has especially adapted mouth parts. She then flies to a flower of another plant, inserts her ovi- positor through the ovary wall, and lays her eggs within it. This done, she provides a food supply for her future offspring by so carefully and deliberately pushing the ball down the stigmatic tube, that it is hard to think of the act in any other terms than purposeful intelligence. Since the yucca is incapable of self-pollenation, this highly specialized type of insect pollenation is responsible for the setting of seed and formation of fruit. Each moth larva eats a dozen seeds, but the number of the latter is so large that even with numbers of larvae in a single fruit, the loss is not appreciable. On sectioning a fruit at this stage, several of the pale blue larvae can usually be found. After reaching maturity, the larvae drop to the ground and burrow into the soil where they pupate to emerge the next spring. Such is the narrative of the Pronuba and the yucca; a narrative for which Mother Nature has been developing the plot during milleniums of time. One is tempted to speculate on the devious evolutionary processes by which could be created a symbiotic relationship so delicately balanced that if it were to be interrupted for a single generation, both genera must join the lengthening roll of extinct forms. To those of our readers who would challenge their own patience and ingenuity, what could be more intriguing than to attempt to discover by one ' s own observations the succeeding chapters in this mutual life history?

Douglass, Poly Science Dept. • The S ' 4|igoi;iN • • • The California Big Trees will always remain the supreme attraelion of the Yoscmite and Sequoia National Parks. The Big Tree (Sequoia gigantea) is often confused with the redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) , the smaller species of Sequoia found only in the coast range of California. The Sequoia gigantea exists only in an exclusive section on the western slope of the Sierra range. Its present growing area is limited to Placer County on the north and to Tulare Count) on the south, osemite is rep- resented by three groves of the Big Trees. The Mariposa, largest of these groves, contains about five hundred and forty Sequoias, among which grows the Grizzly Giant, one of the world ' s largest living things. This 1 mote majestic tree with its gnarled bark and coarse irregular foliage stands two 1 ike hundred and four feet high on a base ninty-six feet in circumference. South-westward from Mariposa Grove lies the Converse Basin, where, con- trary to all their former habits, the Sequoias spread out into a vast forest. The Converse Basin had been lumbered off by private interests for years previous to the government redwood conservation law- The Sequoia logs cut here were so ponderous that they could not be handled with ordinary lum- bering tools. So the logs were dynamited to reduce them to a manageable state. Nearly three-fourths of the tree was destroyed in this manner. Sequoia National Park boasts eleven groves of the Gigantea. This park also has its candidate for the title of The World ' s Largest . In August of 1879 the largest Sequoia in the park was christened General Sherman by James Wolverton in honor of General Sherman, with whom Wolverton had served during the Civil War. The Gigantea approaches forty feet in base diameter, while the Sempervirens rarely exceeds twenty feet. Their wood is similar in color and texture, but their foliage is distinct. The Big Tree is scale-leaved, With long slender branches that in youth give it a pyramidal effect. As its age nears the three- hundred year mark, these branches thin out and take on a more stately appearance. The Gigantea reaches maturity in a thousand years of normal growth. When the adult stage is reached the smooth outer bark flakes off and its true cin- namon red coat is exposed. The bark of the Big Tree is far thicker than that of the redwood. The Gigantea is produced only from frequent seedings while the redwood shoots up from a freshly-cut stump. The Sequoia gigantea produces seed cones as early as its twentieth year. Thus by the time it is a full-grown specimen, it may produce more than a million ovoid seed cones annually, one three-inch cone holding approximately two hundred seeds. The size of the Sequoia giganta is often greatly exaggerated. The greatest height actually measured amounts to three hundred and thirty feet. About twenty feet more may be added for the crest that lightning has split off. The Big Tree grows very rapidly in its youth and may be as large as a foot in diameter at the age of forty years- This rate of growth continues for about two hundred years. The only exact way to determine tree age is to count the rings, one per year. These rings are so fine that as many as one hundred are found in one inch of radial growth. According to this, the General Sherman tree was a budding hopeful before the first pyramid was planned, and stood at maturity when imperial Rome began. It is accurately estimated that one old Gigantea contains over half a million board feet of lumber, or enough to build a small settlement. First prize, Forestry — Adam Boy sen T A • Alllllial Pictures • • • We had planned for the event for months, and now our plans were to be realized. We were to tour the national parks of California; and the big trees of Sequoia were to be our first stop. After arriving at the top and pitching our camp we loaded the camera and went out after game. The first animals we scented were a large bear and two cubs. What a magnificent picture they made with their shaggy fur, awkward walk, and berry-smeared faces! A little farther on we came upon a small herd of deer innocently munching ot the tender grass. Those beautiful creatures were very shy about posing for their pictures. Undaunted, we plunged on into the crags and crevices and slopes of the mountains. Shouting to my companion to stand still, I crawled out on a ledge, and there below me on another ledge I saw four mountain sheep. It was a breath-taking scene when the sheep detected my presence and sped away. Later that night we heard the already too-familiar howls of the mountain and valley coyotes as they foraged for their night ' s meal. Upon rising the next morning, we pressed further into the forest, observing all the time the abundant signs of the lumbering porcupine and occasionally getting a glimpse of the skunk. When we arrived at a water hole, we set up our night photographic apparatus in order to get some pictures of the fishers and martens; but we failed completely to find any of either. Finally we decided that we had penetrated far enough into the forest and turned back toward civilization with a sigh of regret. Pulling up the long grade into Yosemite, we were going so slowly that my companion had time to observe the blue-jays flying about and chattering at the dark little chipmunks on the ground. Just within the park boundaries we began to see signs of animal life. In the first clearing we found that we had arrived in time to see a show put on by Mrs. Black Bear and her troupe of three. With a little persuasion — some candy — Mrs. Bear responded with a fine performance. The oncoming darknesss forced us to abandon this scene and speed on toward the park headquarters. After arriving in the park proper and discharging my official duties, I went to the pens of the dwarf elk. It is hard to realize that these strong, beautiful animals must be penned in order to save them from extinction. Desiring to be alone during the night, we made our camp about four miles from the last outpost in other camps. During those nights, we were awakened occasionally by the call of some bird but more often by the call of the coyote. After exhausting our supply of films we started down for more films and also toward the Mt. Lassen country. Miles of virgin forest abounding in animal life lined the sides of the road that led up to the main camp in Lassen Park. We soon decided that this was deer paradise, for we hadn ' t gone more than three miles from camp when we ran into a magnificient six-point Columbian black-tailed deer. Never before had we seen such a tower of brute strength in an animal. The noise of our every footfall would send shy deer scurrying for shelter. Returning to our base camp a few days later, we decided to leave this beautiful forest land and head toward Cascade country. In that region we observed the Cascade red fox, and also were successful in getting our night picture of the Pacific fisher and marten. It was there too that we snapped our best picture — one of the majestic Roosevelt elk. Coming a little further south, we met Jay Bruce, the famous mountain lion hunter. Mr. Bruce, a gracious host, took us hunting with him, so that we might get a picture of the cat in action. Our picture of the treed cat was a rare gem of fury and fright. Now with that last trip under our belts we pointed home.

Every- one knows that it is a land of heat and death. It is a land to be feared. But despite all this. I have a singular affection for it. The desert has a dual personality. I have often stood on the foothills of the San Gabriel range, and each time I want to go beyond those foothills, over those soaring peaks and into the wastes beyond. The vast expanse of barren rock, shifting sands, and waterless canyons, so capable of defeating man ' s stubborn will to conquer, brings to my mind legends of thirst- ravaged caravans; of cactus, whose needle-sharp thorns sting and bite their way into the flesh; and of the torid heat, whose unseen tentacles suck the moisture from the unwilling bodv. But I also see the other personality of the desert. The waste land has a subtle, yet vibrant beauty that insinuates its way into one ' s very soul. It does things to one that can never be explained nor understood. Strength! Magnificence! Immensity! — Its broad expanse seems to cover half the earth. The air, clean and pure, does not defect vision. I can see for five-score miles. The distant rocks are not large — they are titanic. Everything is magnified with inconceivable clearness. A horseman may vanish into the emptiness and reappear, a midge, crawling beneath a brazen sky. The far-flung peaks are covered with a million different hues and embrace every phase of architecture. Jagged rocks have the appearance of bronze cathedrals, while the smoother stones, worn by wind and sun, give the effect of Grecian pillars, glistening white in the sun ' s rays. Near at hand stolid cactus and motionless pinon raise grotesque silhouettes. Over all broods the silence of a million years. When the sun has lost its barb and is hovering on the brink of night, the color scheme of the desert is one of ever-changing tints and shades. Coral and amethyst blend in a background of lustrous purple. The sun sinks low, shrouding the desert with a cryptic gloom, while the distant pinnacles are crowned with a golden halo. Far off in the lonely wastes the cry of a coyote echoes and re-echoes among the rocks. The sun has plunged over the brink, and it is dark. Stars appear. Those stars! They seem near enough to be held in the hand and gloated over. These baubles of the gods fill the sky with a blaze of light and then subside to a steady, omni-present glow. Often one hurtles earthward in a fiery arc against the inky night. Alone in this maze of peaks, sand, and darkness, I feel the haunting, silent Presence of the desert night. I forget that I am mortal — and dream great things — . First prize essay — Jack Mi t chum • Lake Of Shadows • • • Somewhere, nestled deep in the wild, rugged forestlands that shroud the lofty Sierras there is known to be a lake whose placid, mirror-like sheet reposes serenely in the cool shadows of a high, jagged peak. Most beautiful and tranquil is this singular body of water as seen during the witching hour of twilight when the evening star is first making its appearance in the heavens.Tall pines, bearding the adjoining landscape, loom silently and majestically in the gloaming; scenting the crisp air with their soft fragrance; while a profound hush envelops the entire wilderness, as though all the woodland noises have been temporarily abated in deference to this mysterious time of day. The glassy lake, fringed with thick growths of brambles and bushes, silently reflects , loolhillj H foolhjjk the whole picturesque scene a if it weir a huge opening in the earth, exposing another world. a counterpart f the original, just beneath the level of the shore. Main legends are told of this quiet bod) of wain-. After sundown, when the imagination is prone to wander, weird, ghostly figures have been seen prowling stealthily about the gloomy trees and shrubbery. In fact, n ot so long ago a solitary trapper encountered one of these spectral creatures; and the fierce struggle that ensued fairly shook the forest. As suddenl) as it had begun, however, the battle ended; and the supernatural being vanished as in a bolt of lightning, leaving the amazed victim grappling frantically with a scraggly stump. Whether or not there is any truth in such legends is a secret known only to the trees, the lake, and the overlooking mountain top; and these silent sages are not apt to disclose in formal ion that might be misinterpreted by the rabble to belittle the strange, enchanting atmosphere that forever haunts this lonely region.

In the background is a small valley, at whose head, outlined against a cloudless sky, stands the second highest peak on Santa Catalina Island. Out at sea is an occasional fishing boat on the far horizon, or nearer, a solitary sea gull, wheeling and dipping above the dozen rowboats moored in the bay. One can hear the shouts of his friends and always the surge and roar of the tides in deep, unfathomable caverns hollowed bv Nature ' s hands after a thousand years of work. At night friendships are formed around the blazing logs of a cheerful camp- fire. Afterwards there is silence. The full new moon makes a shining path from your bed out on the tossing, grey water. Then taps closes another day at camp. Second prize sketch — Norman Ran ' STROKE! POLY GIRLS AT MARINE STADIUM WHOOPS! DON ' T FALL!

We would play more in the open air and on the ground. We would develop our characters as we engage in vigorous games in the manner of true sports- men. We would eliminate from our daily practices the negative traits, as greed, arro- gance and just plain folly. We would delve deep into the dances for the sheer joy to be derived from life and the color of their diama. We would learn appreciations from hikes in the open country and evenings sport around the camp fire. We would drop down from the perilous perch of the artificial to the realisms that are ours for the taking.

Although they turned in a poor brand of football in the skirmish with the San Diego Hillers, the Hares managed to eke out a close 7-6 win to clinch top honors in the Coast League. Then came the league carnival, held on Burcham Field, when San Diego and Santa Ana downed Poly and Alhambra, 12-8. CAER1 LEA POLY-REDONDO— Get going! POLY-LOYOLA— Pile up!

The whitewashing kept the Jackrabbit ' s goal-line still uncrossed by any aggregation from Wilson. This battle was a virtual reproduction of former Hare-Bruin encounters, when the Rabbits pushed their city rivals all over the gridiron, failing to run up a more impressive score because they lacked the final punch to put the ball over the pay-off stripe. Both scores came after long drives, one in the first period and the other in the third. Wilcox, end, and Bolton, reserve quarterback, looked good also. • Poly-Santa Ana • • • Officially opening the Coast League football race on October 18, Poly ' s defending league champions turned back the invading Saints from Santa Ana in a 32-6 walk-away. The Saints ' only score came in the waning moments of the game against the Jackrabbit reserves as a result of a pass. The Rabbits led 13-0 at half-time because of a pass over the goal to Wilcox and a 30-yard romp to a score by Berryman. Cheney, tackle, place-kicked the extra point. As the second half started, Baird blocked a punt on the Santa Ana 8-yard line. As the ball rolled over the goal line, Semmens fell on it for six points. Klenk ' s try for extra points was good. A 71-yard sprint through the entire Saint eleven by Cecil Halstead, redheaded fullback, and a one-yard plunge by quarterback Sexton, climaxing a 40-yard drive in the fourth quarter, ended the scoring for CAERULEA the day. Klenk added both the extra points. VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM I accounted i Keck lit swept aside I their rib aters, win up a more lie pav-ofi le invading line in tie of a pass.

The game was played on ' ' Landreth Day , and the Hares celebrated by taking their second league victory. The Moors took an early 7-6 lead, but the Rabbits retaliated with a pass, Berryman to Wilcox, that put them in front, 13-7, as the half ended. A 19-yard pass to Semmens was good for the initial tally. Cheney missed his first placement try but sent the next one booming through the uprights.

The point after touchdown by Corey Cheney, tackle proved the margin ' of victory for the Green and Gold Gridders. Although temporarily stopped on the 9-yard line, Berryman heaved a pass to Wilcox, who snagged it on the five-yard stripe and ran for the score. Cheney ' s conversion gave the Jackrabbits their well-earned 7-6 win.

Classy play was displayed all afternoon, with the southern combination of Santa Ana and San Diego defeating Alhambra and Poly, northern representatives, 12-8. In the first quarter the jackrabbits took on the Saints, with San Diego and Alhambra fighting it out in the second canto. To start the second half Santa Ana battled the Moors; and then to top off the day ' s play the Rabbits clashed with the Hillers. Even though the two northern elevens came out on the short end of the score, the Hares truly vindicated themselves in the eyes of local grid fans by smearing Glenn Broderick ' s Hilltoppers. They pushed the Border City team all over the field, to win impressively. Santa Ana, a weak entry during regular League play, upset the dope when the Saints held the strong Landreth squad scoreless and then scored against the Moors in the third quarter to win top laurels for the south. San Diego also ran up six points at the expense of the Alhambrans. The eight points compiled by the northern teams came when the Alhambra squad blocked a San Diego punt for two points and when the Jackrabbits tallied in the final period after a drive of half length down the field, also at the expense of the Hillers. As the final quarter began the Hares lost no time in going after their traditional foes, as Berryman broke through on the first play to carry the ball to a score on a run for 66 yards. A clipping penalty nullified the score. Clicking better than at any other time during the season, the locals smashed their way to the six-yard marker, from which point Elmore bucked the line for the score.

The records at the end of the season showed that seven of Poly ' s eight opponents were defeated by decisive scores. The lighties amassed a total of 119 points to their opposition ' s 14. Only two teams were able to penetrate the Bunnies ' goal line. Opening their 1935 practice season, three reputedly strong teams: Redondo, Ingle- wood, and Wilson, in turn felt the power of the mighty Detrickmen. The Redondo Seahawks fell, 19-7; the Inglewood Sentinals, 6-0; and the Wilson Bruins, 7-0. The flashy Inglewood eleven furnished the most competition during the practice season. The Rabbits had to fight to push over the winning points. Three Jackrabbit touch- downs scored against Redondo were called back on penalties. Wilson put up a hard fight but was no match for the local squad. Embarking on their Coast League campaign, the Rabbits drubbed Santa Ana, 19 to 0, thus proving to be a real threat in the Coast League pennant race. The Saturday following the Santa Ana game, the Green and Gold team traveled to Bakersfield to meet one of the strongest lightweight teams in California. During a five-year period, the Sandab eleven of the oil city hadn ' t tasted defeat. After a strug- gle that favored the Bunnies from gun to gun, the Inlanders found themselves on the short end of a 21 to score. Blasting the Glendale Dynamiters, 14 to 0, the Hares extended their winning streak. The Black and Red men put up a bitter struggle but had to yield to the Bunnies ' su- losas tome on, perior power. This victory more than made up for the 1931 tie. which affected the League standings, giving Glendale first place and Long Beach second. Following the Glendale fracas, the Hares hurdled the last barrier separating them- selves and the championship In decisively defeating the Alhambra Moors on the losers ' field by a 26 to score. Poly had little opportunity, however, to celebrate the victory which gave the Bunnies the Coast League crown, for not more than three days had elapsed before the fact was revealed that a slight technicality in the Coast League rules had been viola- ted, compelling the team to forfeit the championship. Two players had weighed in at a lower weight for 1935 than they had for the previous season. Disappointed by the sudden change of affairs which cost a championship, a half- hearted Poly B eleven played its last game with South Pasadena. After a nip and tuck battle the final gun sounded to end the game of games, a 7 to 7 deadlock. The Jackrabbits completed a successful season, having a record of no defeats, one tie, and seven victories; and they deserved a better fate than the one which took away the title they had won. Glendale, the team which previously had bowed to the Hares, carried on to win the Southern California middleweight title, the highest honor a team may attain. The secret of the season ' s success lies in the fact that the larger part of the team ' s roster was made up of players who had gained as much as two years ' exper- ience and in playing together had established perfect coordination. Much credit is also due to coach Wally Detrick, whose guiding hand molded the fine team. As a recognition of its worthy team, Poly gave special awards to B squad members.

In the ni • Junior Varsity Football • • • A player ' s payoff in Junior Varsity football is in learning the game and not in being able to boast the part he played on an undefeated team that earned wide recognition , declared Coach Lyle Kinnear as he brought his Junior Varsity squad through another season. Although the 1935 Junior Varsity team won only one important game, the season was in every respect a success. The experience the members on the team gained on the gridiron will mean much more to them and to Poly and her future varsity football teams than a perfect season which might have been costly. A championship varsity must have men that are well-trained in the fundamentals of the game. Because the Junior Varsity is made up of younger fellows, all under- classmen, many of whom haven ' t handled a pigskin or played in a real game, of some, too, who haven ' t matured and are not physically able to stand sixty minutes of hard play, it is for these boys that the Junior Varsity was created and maintained. The 1935 team played only four important games, with Garden Grove, Hunting- ton Beach, Southern California Military Academy, and Jordan of Long Beach. To all but the last-mentioned team they lost. Jordan, reputed to have a fairly strong team, the strongest of the four, could not withstand the furious attack of the well-trained Jackrabbits, dropping the tilt, 13 to 0. Poly had demonstrated her latent power. The most interesting and best feature of the season was the remarkable progress the Jayvees made. In each game the team put up a better showing; and as the season was brought to its close, many of the members were fit for varsity service in 1936. CAERULEA There can be no question as to the value of Junior Varsity football at Poly. • CrOSS l oilll l y • • • With five lettermen and more than twenty likelv propects answering the call for the first cross countrj practice of the 1935 season, a team worthy to he the successor of the L934 Coast League championship team was promised for 1935. (In October IS the Hares met their first opponent, Roosevelt, Los Angeles, and bowed to the Rough Rider aggregation by a close count. A much stronger harrier team from Wilson handed the Poly spikesters their second Straight defeat. LeHo Work and Fred Love led the Bruins, grabbing first and second places, closely followed In Pol s Charley Bridges. The Barkermen ' s first taste of victory came the following week, when they smothered Compton High. 20 to 35. In the meets leading up to the Coast League championship meet, the Jackrahhits suffered two more defeats from Montebello and Garfield. W ilh Recreation park set as the scene, representatives from the four Coast League schools met in the twelfth annual Coast League championship contest. Behind them the tradition of winning ten out of eleven championships and with a Coast League title to retain, fifteen men wearing the Green and Gold crouched in their holes awaiting the starter ' s gun to send them off. It was another big moment in the sport history of Poly when the Hares came through for their Alma Mater. Charley Bridges and Percy Scott led the field to the tape, winning first and second places respectively, followed by Captain Dick Urbina, fifth. Cort Johnson, seventh, Mit Sakiniwa, tenth, and Bob McGinnis, eleventh. In the big Southern California meet, Poly sent six men, whose best efforts could gainer only fourth place honors. Coach John Gartner ' s Wilson Bruins brought the championship to Long Beach, however, by yvinning the meet easily. CU ' .IU I.KA CROSS COUNTRY- —Fro nt rov Ailmar . Scott, Bryc ges.

Only four points measuring the differences between the Green and Gold team and the Blue and White clad Hilltoppers on that night of January 25 gave the Coast League crown to San Diego. Poly finished in second position in the Coast League race, claiming victories over each of the other members of the League and two over Santa Ana. The Jackrabbit cagers opened their Coast League schedule against Santa Ana on the Saints hardwood. With little difficulty, the flashy Hare quintet overshadowed their opponents, 24 to 11. The Saints could score but two field goals in each half. Harold Hofman, star guard in the Poly lineup, stole the show. Four days later the Rabbits met the highly-touted Russ High squad of San Diego. After a closely-contested struggle, Poly won its second straight game of the Coast League series by a one-point margin. The game was a see-saw affair from gun to gun, which saw the lead change from hand to hand and neither team gaining over a four-point advantage. In the last game of the first round, the Hares opposed Alhambra, the team which San Diego had previously defeated, and suffered their first Coast League loss, dropping the tilt 28 to 13. The team played its poorest game of the season against the Moors at Alhambra in receiving this setback. Lawrence Brewster, alternate forward, was the only Jackrabbit who played a good game. Sharing a third part of a three-way tie with Alhambra and San Diego, the Jack- I rabbits stalled their return game series off righl l downing Santa Ana to make CALIUJLFA the count 2 to 0. Captain Bob Gorbould stole the limelight in this game, copping bigh point honors with thirteen digits and playing a perfect floor game. Following the Santa Ana game, the Rabbits met San Diego in the battle f battles, with the winners ' prize no worse- than a tie for the Coast League championship. Led by Randolph and Mallory, the Hilltoppers. after a hard-contested light, stuck their fingers in the pudding and pulled out the plum. The Poly team didn ' t get started until the closing minutes. Battling for second-place honors and a possible tie for the championship. Poly met Mhamhra in the last scheduled game of the year. The Hares this time were prepared for the Moors and after the thirty-two minutes left the fray with the count reversed. Big things happened that same night in San Diego, where Russ High made good its golden opportunity by defeating Santa Ana to win the Coast League title. Thus, Poly finished in second place in the final standings, failing to retain her crown. San Diego ' s fine team went on to win the Southern California prep hoop title. A Junior Varsity casaba team was maintained in 1935 for the third consecutive season. Although the team was not very active, as it played but very few games, its importance cannot be overlooked. From the ranks of the Junior Varsity squad must come players to fill the gaps left by the graduating seniors of the 1935 Varsity. The gaps to fill are many and will be no easy task. The entire first string and two substitutes who have seen as much ac- tion as the regulars are donning the caps and gowns in 1936. JUNIOR VARSITY BASKET- BALL— Front row: Deeble.

Under the leadership of Captain Harvey Sharrar. the 1936 hoop squad, comprising four returned lettermen and six men who had seen much action in 1935 and many bright prospects, earned its school another championship. In reviewing the past season, Coach Church made the statement that the fine playing of the Bees in the preliminary games was in many cases the winning margin between the varsity teams. After a very successful practice season, the Bunnies opened the defense of their Coast League title against Santa Ana and won the game easily. They set a hot pace in downing Alhambra and continued it bv dumping Santa Ana and Alhambra again in return games to cinch the title and the right to represent the Coast League in the C.I.F. playoffs. Robbed of five if its players by mid-year graduation, the Hare lighties were seriously handicapped when they met the South Pasadena B team, Foothill League champions, their first C. I. F. opponent. Added to that the South Pasadena hoopsters had an advantage of more than five inches per man in height. While the Bunnies stood but 5 ' 7 , the Foothill League team towered over six feet per man. Only after a hard- fought battle which the Rabbits refused to yield until the sounding of the final gun, had South Pasadena eliminated Poly by a close count. Although they lost that important game, the Jackrabbits deserve much credit for their fine playing and marvelous past season record, which surely earned them a place in the Poly athletic teams ' Hall of Fame. |PAGE 1S9 PAGE 188 m Sharnr.

At Caerulea press time the Jackrabbits had only Santa Ana and Alhambra to meet and defeat to win the Coast League championship.

Although the Jackrabbits were heavy favorites to take the ' 35 championship, the loss of their pool just one month before the big meet had handicapped them enough to let the Fullerton splashers take top honors.

Although up to the time Caerulea went to press the Crews had not had a race, the propects of the 1936 teams appeared even brighter than those of the 1935 crew which brought much fame to Poly. Leading the Varsity water splashers was Captain Vic Thompson, stroke, a member of the 1935 team. Vic was a good man, and backing him up was a crop of good-looking material, who showed much promise. In this group were many returned lettermen. With the appointment of Pete Archer, coach of 1935 Green and Gold crew, to the sports staff of Woodrow Wilson High, Poly was forced to seek a new instructor for its teams. Crafton Pauls, a very capable man, took over the job and again the out- look brightened for Poly. Following the policy established last year, three different crews were maintained again this year — a varsity, a junior varsity, and a lightweight crew. The Junior Varsity is really the second crew. It is composed of underclassmen and men who have failed to earn a varsity berth. Constantly the lineups of the two crews are shifted in order to find the best varsity crew possible. The Junior Varsity has regular races but does not row over as long a course as the Varsity, its course being but 1500 meters, while the latter ' s is 2000 meters. The lightweight team is made up of fellows interested in crew whose exponents are below the B exponent limit. Like the other crews, they have a regular race schedule with other schools. The B crew ' s success seemed well assured at Caerulea press time because of the large number of returned lettermen. PAGE 1 l % • V;u sil -v lt;is  li;all • • • With the Coast League crown in its posses- sion, Lyle Kinnear ' s Jackrabbit nine was well on its waj to the C.I.F. championship at press time. The Hares downed San Diego, !!-: in the deciding league tussle on the Holder Gitj diamond. Although tlie received a ( - 1 Set-back from Santa Ana ' s Saints in the opening game, the Rabbits swept through their remaining league skirmishes in championship style. A round robin schedule was sponsored. Leading the 1936 team was Captain ( ' .buck Stevens, a veteran of two seasons, who was ranked above many of the best pup first basemen in Southern California in the Pomona tournament last year and was awarded a gold baseball for his fine playing. He also received a gold baseball for the highest batting average. At the opening of the season the Poly team was rated as being one of the best teams in Southern California because of the large number of returned lettermen and the fine prospects that turned out for practice. The nine emerged from its practice season with a clean slate, claiming victories over teams of the caliber of Inglewood, Jordan, and Montebello. The only loss of the 1936 season, a 6 to 4 decision to Santa Ana, may be accredited to the mound work of Wilkins, the Saint ' s fine pitcher. Home runs by Bobby Sturgeon and Dick Lang gave the Kinnear pillehasers an opportunity to regain their winning form. The two home runs of these boys brought in five runs, five-sixths of the Green and Gold ' s total score. Gorbould scored the sixth run when he reached the home plate after a Saint error. Ray Little displayed a masterful pitching game, holding the Border City team to three singles. CU.Iil 1.1. BASEBALL — Front row: Stur- geon. O. Lang, H.

Starting the season off right, the Green and Gold racqueteers drubbed San Pedro, 7 to 4. Following the victory, they met the strong Fullerton team and were tied by the fighting Indians, 4 to 4. Playing off the tie, they downed the Easterners, 7 to 5. Compton and Huntington Park bowed to the Hares in their next two matches. Comp- ton lost by a score of 8 to 2, while Huntington Park fell, 13 to 2. Receiving the first setback of its season, Poly dropped its League opener to Santa Ana, 14 to 0. The Inglewood team felt the power of the recuperated Rabbits, 7 to 5. The Bunnies couldn ' t keep up the pace, however, and dropped the next match to San Diego, 14 to 0. Under the leadership of Bob Wood, first singles man of the team, the Jackrabbit netters met and defeated their first five opponents despite heavy odds chalked against them, which were influenced by the small number of returned lettermen on the team and the losses of Earl Hurst, who left the school, and Dean Smith, who had broken his arm in an early match. The Hares were in a tough position when Caerulea went to press. In order to stand a chance in the final running, they would have been compelled to win all their games. San Diego was their hardest rival. The 1935 varsity roster included Wood, first singles; Sothern, second singles; Hanna, third singles; and Evans, fourth singles. Playing doubles were Lis t and Miller, first doubles; and Brown and Hagman, second doubles. • 4, oil • • • Led by Dale Andivason. Dumber one man of the team, Coaofa CAER1 LEA Walter Bell ' s L936 edition of the Poly varsity golf teams showed much promise at the time Caerulea went to press. Without the services of any returned lettermen and bolstered by only two men who had seen hut little action last year, the Green and Gold club swingers had a record of one victory, one tie, and one defeat. In their initial match with Anaheim at the Lakewood Country Club course. Coach Bell ' s putting, driving squad emerged with a 3Vz to 1% victory. Andreason won his match from Holsten of the Black and White squad, 7-5; while Justin Orr, Poly ' s number two man, defeated Flour, and Roy Reis took two up from Hill- erary of Anaheim for the three Poly victories. Glen Fullmer, number three man of the Bell team, halved with Kier to complete the local scoring.The only Rabbit loss was Granhahl of Anaheim ' s close 4 to 3 victory over Arnold. The Hares ' second match of the 1936 season, their Coast League opener with Santa Ana, reversed their winning form. On the long end of a 4 to 1 score the Saints proved the experts weren ' t wrong in rating them as having one of the best teams in Southern California. Dale Andreason, uncorking a brilliant 74, two over par for the Lakewood course, nosed out Ramet of San Diego, 4 to 3, to lead his team mates to a 2% to 2% tie with the Border City squad. Glen Fullmer displaying good form, won his match from Monroe and Tommy Marshall, who halved with Bernet of the Gray Castle team to score the rest of the Rabbits ' points. Justin Orr ' s losing for Poly to Shawlin, one down, and Roy Reis ' loss t o Kelly of the Hilltoppers, 2 down, tied up the match. GOLF 1936— Left to right: W.W.

Helen Hoffman, association president, welcomed the incoming sophomores and explained the ideals of the organization — sportsmanship, friendship, and leadership. Other officers for the semester were introduced. Then Miss Frame, the adviser, told the girls about the minor and major L ' s. Miss Peters stressed the importance of activity cards and the reasons for having them filed. The following people gave talks about different clubs and activities: Helen Salgado, crew: Marie Linder, golf: Esther Horner, tennis: Miss Chapman, Outing Club: and Gwendolyn Lamb, volleyball. At the next meeting, Leon Callin, violinist; Irene Engel, cellist; and Frances Nutter, pianist presented several numbers. On December 13, Dorothy Chessman and Gwendolyn Lamb reported on the Girls ' Athletic Federation conference. Elizabeth Hicks gave a stimulating speech on class spirit, and Helen Hoffman presented the volleyball cup to Gertrude Hughes, captain of the Junior championship team. The annual Hi-Jinks, in the form of an amateur hour, was held at the Y.W.C.A. on January 10. At the February meeting, Helen Hoffman, out-going president, resigned her duties to Gwendolyn Lamb. Elizabeth Hicks turned her obligations over to Helen Nellis, while Gwendolyn Lamb and Dorothy Chessman were replaced by Peggy Dahlstrom and Betty Barton. Also over eighty girls were admitted into the organiza- tion and given emblems. Harold Woodall, former Poly student, gave an interesting talk on reptiles at the March meeting, and Helen Nellis, first-vice-president, spoke on the importance of etiquette in every-day affairs. . • . lilMH illlll .Mllfjoi I s • • • After a girl has earned her G.A.A. emhlfin and become an active member in the organization, ii is usually her ambition lo attain the two higher awards, the minor and major L ' s. These are letters of orange fell on a green background and are generally worn on green barrel sweaters. To receive a minor 1.. a qualified G. A. A. member must have earned five hundred points. Of these points, twenty-five and not more than two hundred must have been earned through leadership and service, such as that shown 1 squad leaders and cap- tains in g m classes and managers of different after-school teams. At least fifty points must have heen received through participation in some club activity sponsored by the Girls Athletic Association, such as the Golf, Crew, Outing, and Tennis clubs. Also, a girl must have come out for one of the after-school seasonal sports including basketball, volleyball, speedball, or baseball and earned at least eighty-five points by faithful practice. The winning of a major L requires an additional five hundred points, which are earned in the same manner as those required for the smaller letter. If a girl earns two hundred extra points after she has received her major L, she is awarded a small green felt star, which is worn on the L. Dorothy Chessman, February senior, was the only recipient of that award this year before April 15. Because of the requirements for obtaining a minor and major L, it is easy to under- stand just what the winning of a letter means, the achievement of leadership and good sportsmanship through diversified activities and sports.

Because of the exceptionally large number of candidates, a new method of choosing class teams was initiated. The girls were assigned to squads, forming eight sophomore, four junior, and two senior units. A round-robin tournament gave the winning teams the right of representing their respective classes in the championship playoffs. The juniors met the sophomores in the initial encounter of the series. The sophomores ' playing was erratic, and the juniors through excellent coordination and teamwork won decisively. The final tally was 45-22. In the second encounter a rejuvenated and determined sophomore group met the strong senior squad. The upper classmen earned and held a large lead over their younger rivals until the concluding quarter, when a gallant and unexpected rally by the sophs took the seniors by total surprise. Before they could recover, the sophomores had taken advantage of their opponents ' slump and managed to score seventeen points. The final whistle found the sophomores on the large end of a 32-28 tally. The highly-touted juniors went into the fracas with the seniors as a slight favorite. The seniors, stung by their defeat from the sophomores, played with such determi- nation and vigor that they soon gained a big lead over the favored ju niors which they managed to hold throughout the entire game. The final whistle found the seniors leading, 37-29, the score thus forming a three-way tie among the classes. Because of lack of time, the tie was played off in ten-minute games. The juniors won decisively from the other two teams, thus winning the coveted silver cup. I • Snoodbsill A shrill blast of a whistle! Twenty-two girls in mo- tion — and the opening game for the ' 36 speedball championship scries was on. The first tussle of the series was between the strong sophomores and the equall) powerful seniors. The seniors swarmed down the field and began scoring l making a hold goal. However, two passes over the goal line made l the sophomores gave them a one-point lead, which thej retained throughout the first half. During the second half the scoring was reversed and the game ended in a 7-7 deadlock. In two minutes overtime the seniors were able to snoak through all opposition and score a field goal, therein winning the game by a score of 10-7. In the battle between the juniors and sophomores, the upperclassmen started things rolling b making a drop kick and field goal in quick succession. The sophomores were able to make only one goal in the first half and to match it in the concluding half. Meanwhile, the juniors had engineered several scoring plays, so that when the game ended they were on the large end of an 11-6 score. The most interesting game of the series was the championship tilt between the juniors and the seniors. During the first half the seniors played with such unex- pected speed, and spirit that their rivals seemed to be swept off their feet. The half ended with the seniors leading, 9-6. In the second half the juniors came out of their slump and played with their characteristic brilliancy. This proved to be disastrous to the seniors, because they were able to tally only three points while the juniors scored eight. The juniors therein won the game with the score of 14-12 and also the 1936 speedball champion- ship series. CAERULEA JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP SPEEDBALL TEAM — In front: Lerch. Hughes.

CAERULEA • | il ls Basketball • • • With the title defending Seniors and a scrappy Sophomore A aggregation under the efficient guidance of Miss Chapman, and the Juniors and Sophomore B ' s tying for team positions, aided by the experienced coaching of Miss Peters, the 1936 basketball season was launched in the latter part of February. Because of the short season it was necessary to hold the practice sessions three times a week instead of twice, as has been the custom in the past. When at last the difficult procedure of choosing teams was completed, a series of un- expected upsets began with the strong Sophomore A casaba tossers being toppled by the Juniors, 22-17. However, the advisers, to avoid a tie at the termination of the playoffs, added two points to the winner ' s score. This system of scoring was used throughout the games. On the same afternoon of the downfall of the Sophomore A ' s, the Sophomore B ' s suffered a similar fate at the hands of the Seniors 43-18. In the next installment of the tournament the determined Sophomore A ' s smothered a reckless Senior squad 35-33. The juniors easily defeated the 10 B ' s, 46-8: but their winning streak was halted by the Seniors. Although the Juniors led in the first half, the Seniors overcame the lead, finally winning 28-19. The two Sophomore court teams battled on that same program, with the A ' s definitely proving their superiority, by sinking nineteen baskets while limiting their inexperienced opponents to a mere two. Thus the tournament resulted in a tie between the Seniors, Juniors, and Sopho- more A ' s, as far as the number of victories was concerned. But when the total scores were added, it was found the Seniors had again copped the cup by tipping 94 points into the bucket. The Sophomore A ' s won second place with 91. while the Juniors, although victors over the Sophomore A ' s, were given third place with 89. . • BaSSPballl • • • Batter m ! Plaj ball! The junior pitcher wound up; a tall girl behind the bat flashed a signal: and the opening game of the ' 35 baseball championship series was on. A determined group of sophomore diamond devotees upset all predictions by shattering the strong title hopes of the almost unbeatable junior horsehiders. The fracas was an even one. although the juniors shoved off to a bad start in the first by letting in four runs and scoring but two themselves. Never recovering from the slump in the first bracket, the juniors found they were unable to rope with their opponents unprecedented pace. They made a final rally in the last half of the seventh, but the come-back fell short, the final tally being 10-!!. The same sophomore team that defeated the favored juniors went into its battle against a weak senior squad as a top-heavy favorite. Again they were victorious, this time by an 11-9 tally. Winning these two games, they gained the highly-coveted cup. A consolation game between the two upperclass teams resulted in the seniors ' being decisively crushed in a 13-4 encounter. Not only did the sophomores capture the first team championship, but the second team conquered their two rivals, to win first honors in the lower division. As Caerulea went to press before the championship series of the current year, it was possible only to conjecture as to the outcome. It was reasonable to believe, however, that the games would be the closest in the history of the G.A.A. The sophomores promised a spirited group; the juniors were defending champs; and an experienced senior team was out to get the title in their final year of competition at Poly.

CAERULEA 154 k « illIlilB £ ToiBElis • • • Sophomore girls who are interested in tennis but who do not desire to wait until they become either juniors or seniors to in- clude a tennis class in their regular school program find that the beginning tennis group after school offers an excellent opportunity for them to learn the fundamentals of this sport. Also, many juniors and seniors who have been too busy with after- school sports in their first two years find they can get sufficient instruction and prac- tice here to enable them to continue with the game. This year the club of about fifty ardent tennis aspirants have met on the Poly courts Wednesday afternoons. Since the courts had to be shared with the intermediate group, one club met at 2:45 o ' clock and the other at 3:30 o ' clock for forty minutes of practice. In the study of tennis mass drill occupies part of each period, and the first thing learned is the correct method of holding the tennis racquet. Next, instruction is given, dealing with the proper execution of the fore-hand drive, the back-hand drive, and the service. The remainder of the time is spent in volleying across the net until each one has mastered the strokes. After the girls have acquired the use of the fundamental strokes and learned to score accurately, occasional games are played. With one semester of practice girls gain a sufficient knowledge of the game to enable them to enjoy playing during their vacation time and to learn the more difficult strokes in the advanced tennis groups. The tennis manager has charge of all records of the group. During the first semester Geraldine Gasper and the second semester Elsie Lang capably performed these duties. Miss Frame has been the coach this last semester. • Blli« l ' I!l« llaJll« ' TVlllliK • • • Although the intermediate U-miis group has been functioning under some difficult) because of the necessity of sharing with the beginning group the three available P0I5 courts, the organization has effi- cientl) carried out each semester ' s program. The program of the year included the practicing and complete mastering of the nuclear strokes essential to a good tennis game, such as the service, hack-hand drive, and the fore-hand drive. Also, something of simple court strategy uas particular!) stressed. This included correct placing ol ball, acquirement and practice of good form, team work in doubles, and proper court etiquette. In the occasional games played, especial emphasis uas placed upon both strokes and strategy . During the first semester. Miss Frame, and in the second semester, Miss Reardon, were the competent instructors and sponsors of this group of zealous tennis enthus- iasts. Appointed tennis managers effectually carried out the diversified duties asso- ciated with the office, including the keeping of all records of the group, such as those dealing with the attendance, G. A. A. points, and eligibility. Maurine Lindgren, for the Inst semester, and Dorothy Langford, for the concluding semester, were the girls who successfully performed those duties. For each night of practice a girl received five points toward either a Girls ' Athletic Association emblem or a minor or major L. However, a girl was required to practice at least ten times a semester or these points would not be awarded. The group limited its program to athletic activities, but the girls feel that the enjoy- ment they received in the learning of tennis adequately compensated for any absence of social life connected with the sport.

Point, set, and match to Smith and Brown, 6-2! 6-4! And so ends another match typical of those played by the advanced racquet swingers competing in the doubles ladder tournament at the Recreation Park courts. The group has met on Thursday afternoons from three to five during the past school year. The first semester Miss Chapman acted as adviser, while Miss Gass took charge of the prospective court champions in the spring semes- ter. As only two courts have been available at the city location, it has been necessary to hold a doubles tournament instead of singles so that more net enthusiasts might have an opportunity to play. To be eligible for advanced tennis each year the applicant must pass an examination given by the adviser. Having been admitted to the group, the member is given ten points for each night she attends practice. Thus by merely engaging in advanced tennis activities, a girl may earn 100 points and thus become an active member of G.A.A. As Caerulea went to press before the tournament ended, it was impossible to print the final ladder or even predict the outcome of the matches. But Edith Merrill and Jeanne Wilson seemed to be the favorites of the group to capture top honors, with the Barbara Mott-Esther Horner team and Marjorie Parker and Lorraine Miller expected to end up in second or third places. An all-comers tournament was scheduled for early in May in which any girl in Poly could compete. It is impossible to print the results of the matches, inasmuch as Caerulea went to press in April. • Onl inii i leili • • • One ill the most popular and progressive of clubs at I ' oIn meets everj Tuesdaj afternoon at the close l school. The Outing Club, with a membership of over sixty active members, presents the opportunitj for participa- tion in sanies and activities of an individualistic type. verj popular activity, sponsored 1 the Outing Club, is thai of horseback riding. Once every month the girls have the privilege of using one of the local riding academies. A large number of girls always take advantage of this privilege, and man) are fast becoming excellent equestrians. The girls who remain at school have the chance to play badminton, tether tennis, croquet, ping pong, or paddle tennis. Tournaments in badminton and ping pong have made those two games especially desirable. A limited number of the girls may receive instructions in fencing and archery. Several members of the R.O.T.C. capably act as fencing instructors. These sports are of great value to the girls because they can be placed and enjoyed for many years after high school days are over. This year several delightful social events were scheduled in which the whole club took part. An enjoyable after-school skating party in which over thirty girls participated was held at the Palace Skating Rink. However, the climax of the year ' s social calendar was in the form of a grand beach party and weiner roast for the entire club, held at the Colorado street lagoon. The club officers for the first semester were Lorraine Miller, president: Betty Barton, vice-president; Dorothy Lerch, secretary. At the beginning of the school semester these officers turned their duties over to Constance Sisco, Mary Hedrich, and Lorraine Miller respectively. CAER1 LEA OUTING CLUB -Front row: Frye, Bowbeer.

CAERULEA • liirlS Ji©l£ i liall • • • One of the outstanding sports at Poly is girls ' golf. A game of much value to the girls, it is a sport which can be enjoyed after graduation as well as in high school. As a substitute for beginners ' golf, which was discontinued this semester, a regular gym period was used for a golf class. There students were taught the proper stance and the method of swinging a golf club correctly, which is mastered by the use of pendulum swings and crochet balls. After they have also learned the fundamental principles of the sport, such as rules, form, and etiquette, they are eligible for the golf club. Once a week eight of the more advanced golfers obtain the opportunity of playing at the Lakewood Country Club. This is rather a difficult course; but the girls always look forward to their first game at Lakewood, because it is regarded as a definite landmark in their golfing career. Girls who aren ' t able to play at Lakewood go to the Recreation Park nine-hole golf course on Saturday mornings. After much practice there, the girls often astonish their instructor with exceptionally long or accurate drives and an occasional par. The main social function of this year was an exciting tournament held at the Recrea- tion Park nine-hole course and topped with a splendid picnic in the park. The club officers for the year were presidents, Dorothy Weber and Laura Mullins: secretaries. Rosamond Robinson and Roberta Zolle; social chairmen. Jane Deckert and Betty Lou Kendall. The president has charge of all meetings. The secretary records the points earned, while the social chairmen have charge of all social events and activities of the club. 9 ICowillg I ' lull • • • Rowing is a sporl in which over a hundred girls of Polj participated on Thursdays after school at the Marine Stadium. For entrance into this club, there is a special requirement, a fcn( foot swimming test: also, to secure G.A.A. points, a girl must row at least six times. Alter twent) practices, a yellovi and preen fell rowing emblem is awarded. The members practice rowing first in the barge, which consists of a double row of sliding seats the full Length of the boat, sixteen oars, and a capacity of sixteen, not including the coxswain. There the girls learn how to use the oars and the sliding seats properly. After having gone in the har.se for eight or more weeks and having shown the necessary rowing ability and technique, a candidate is eligible to row in one of the two Japanese shells. These eight-oared shells, the Tyir and Sykura were used by the Nippons in several 1932 Olympic events. At the close of last semester all the club members participated in a delightful beach party and weiner roast. The girls met at the Marine Stadium and manned all of the available shells, barges, and launches. They rowed down the course, under the Second Street bridge and on to a place near the Seal Beach powerhouse. They enjoyed the dinner and many interesting games before rowing back to the boat- house. Officers for the first semester were president. Marie Stone; vice-president, Betty- Barton: secretary and treasurer, Helen Nellis; keeper of records, Helen Salgado; for the second semester, president, Connie MacKay; vice-president, Marie Stone; sec- retary and treasurer, Doris Simpson; keeper of records, Helen Salgado.

Sunset Editorial Message Index — Photograph Courtesy California State Parks Council • A l  li;i • • • It is with both regret and happiness that the. Caerulea staff closes its year of activity. Each member has made a sincere effort to do his best in order to produce a book worthy of Poly. The work required for such a project, however, has been generously interspersed with the good times that always accom- pany congenial labor. Of supreme importance, also, to the staff has been the coopera- tion of the faculty and student body. For this aid and for the helpfulness of national, state, and community leaders we shall express our appreciation in the following pages. — Dorothy Williams • Editorial • • • In this L936 issue of Caerulea the staff has had as its objective the awakening of Pol) students to the natural heaut of California and to the consequent possibilities for the wise and enjoyable use of leisure time. The following means were invaluable in accomplishing this end: creative competition among the students: scenic and recreation picture- loaned 1 students, faculty, and various organizations; and the messages contributed 1 city, stale, and national officials. To those who helped the stall in these projects or in any other way, Caerulea wishes to express its most sincere appreciation. Acknowledgments to these individuals and groups have been made in the introduction to the book. All editorial and pictorial efforts to publish a noteworthy annual would have been of little avail, however, had it not been for the excellent work done by commercial firms: Photo-engraving by the Courtesy Engraving Company. Lithography by the Mission Engraving Company, Cover by Coast Envelope and Leather Products. Binding by the Glass Book Binding Company, Individual photographs by J. J. Veelik from Walker ' s Studio. The following staff has worked tirelessly to turn out a book pleasing to the student body.
