OUR SCHOOL The physical progress that has been made by Polytechnic High School since its location in the present building can best be shown by enrollment records of both the student body and the faculty. In 1921 Polytechnic, in her initial attendance, had an enrollment of 354 pupils and a faculty of ten teachers. However, this was for the four grades of high school work then in existence because of lack of junior high school facilities. Now, after ten years and with only the last three grades, Polytechnic's enrollment is 1038, and her fac- ulty consists of forty teachers, two clerks. one librarian, a principal, and a vice-principal. With the constant development of those parts of the city served by Poly, each year's enrollment has shown an increase over that of the preceding year until in 1926, the year before the exit of the four- year high school, the enrollment Was 746 pupils and 39 faculty members. About this time it became necessary to enlarge the class-room facilities of the school by the erection of a two-room temporary building and the acquisition of a frame structure for use as an armory. Considering the loss of a grade, it was only natural that the school's registration should have dropped to 630 pupils with 39 teachers in 1927. The remaining enrollments, in '28 and '29, Were 675 and 715, respectively. Autumn of the '30 school year opened with an attendance of 826, and from all indications the enrollment of the school will keep increasing at the same rate that it has so successfully maintained in the past. For a school to be constantly expanding and acquiring more and more prestige as a leader in its field is to permanently insure itself, as an alma mater, of the enthusiastic and unflagging support of its alumni. When it is remembered that Poly, in accompaniment with her increase in patrons, has been consistently revising her curricula to keep abreast With advancing educational standards, that she is enjoying the services of some of the most alert instructors in their fields, and that she is harkening with anticipation to promises of a new building, it is distinguished that she is a school to Which her alumni will ever rally through their convictions of an even greater Polytechnic. e 5 I' 1 Hi lllmlii .illlgguwl-inninsgslwlllllimf-i -.1'n'mwg4lIII1ynirljyfmyrfguillll 'mlNllU,..gmnl5HnmlmmlnuIIl,mHpff f'1llllIl lmllllmic 8 ' I , 5 ......
