To MRS. ALICE HALE ...ga To the undaunted spirit of our coach, who, through his persistent efforts, has played a principal part in placing Polytechnic High School in the foreground of the field of athletics, and whose sincerity will be reflected in the minds of the players in the years to come--To the teacher whose purpose it was, not only to improve oneis education, but also to promote higher ideals in the mind of every student, and whose high moral integrity permeating through the minds of all with whom he came in contact, has brought about the characteristic of good sports- manship both on the athletic field and in everyday life-To the man, who, as a coach and a teacher, has set high examples by his unusual character and clean living, we dedicate the theme of this book.

Every one loves a real champion, but there are many different ideas as to what constitutes a champion. Our aim is to make this school a champion in all lines. Not that we want to hog as much glory as we can but that we want to excell in as many activities as we can. We want to excell because excellence shows that we are working at the job every solitary minute. From an athletic standpoint, we have proven ourselves to be champions in a number of major events. The whole school and the whole community join in being proud of our accomplishments. Our victories of the past two years have been glorious. These vic- tories have given us strength to do even greater things in the future. A school to be a champion must be big and broad enough to keep from being swelled up about accomplishment. I think I have never heard of a school that has lived up to this requirement quite so well as this one has. I am sure the day will never come when people will have the right to say that we have become chesty with a little success. N0 river or stream ever rises higher than its source. No school ever rises higher than the ambitions of its pupils and the leadership of the school. Your ambition must be high if you expect the school to hold its place in the sun. I know you have the ability and the ambition. I am looking forward to greater years for Polytechnic High School. If I could feel sure that no pupil would ever go through this school without being thoroughly thrilled every time we sing: Poly, you are my own dear high school, The only school for me, Always I'l1 sing thy praises, Poly, and tell my love for you, etc. I would know that there could be no force capable of keeping us from being a champion school in every sense. I feel no hesitancy in trusting the reputation of the school in the hands of the pupils that honor its traditions. My regards and love to the departing graduates, my congratulations to them, and my highest hopes for them. Sincerely yours, J. P. MOORE, Principal. 1 W , , .X , X- ,Q , 1135 f A4 ' R 'E-'Iii -- fm: Vf ': ' f7f-. 2'-X ' yw 1 -A , - XX X X -f N -'. . ,V ff ' x x- 'K . :H . Q lt, ts! 93: lf, if A f Tiki! 'W ' iiev Q R X W, .

Green, Superintendent of Fort Worth Public Schools since 1931, has Won a place in the heart of every school student. Even though the association may not be so close, we have found him a true and worthy friend. Superintendent Green began his preparation for a career at North Texas State Teachers' College in 1904. He later attended the University of Colorado and Columbia University. His Hrst essay of teaching was done in a rural school near Roanoke, his birthplace- He then became connected with the Fort Worth Public Schools, of which he served as assistant superintendent for a time, and of which he became superintendent in December, 1931. Mr. Green attributes his success to his associates, who through their interest, encouraged his success, and he also attributes his success to much hard work. Fort Worth feels that it owes much to Superintendent Green for his untiring efforts in Working toward the progress of education. f 721i ' , , 4.11 1:9 ,-,,3q,w.,5J'ix, - ,fixv N '- .

BAND The Polytechnic High School Cadet Band embodies the fine school spirit which characterizes Polytechnic High School and its organizations. The Band, under the capable direction of Col. Il. D. Crites, played some fifty engagements during 1934- 35. They played for pep rallies, assembly programs, battalion reviews, turning out lovallv whenever excellent stirring music was desired. The Band also took .1 prominent part on the school radio programs. RIFLE TEAM Major Simpson and Capt. W'ilson were placed on the live man all-city rifle team from Poly.

HAS MEANT TO POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL The corps has enjoyed a greater social year with Retreat parades, Carnival, camps, dances, picnics, par- ties, club meetings, football games, and theatre parties. Our sponsors, as usual, were the perfect hostesses. This year for the Hrst time, the corps was rated an Honor High School R. O. T. C. Unit, which is the highcst rating possible. The R. O. T. C. of Polytechnic High School has been a worthwhile institution. This organization has shown a willingness at all times to help out with anything for the good of the school. It is my plea- sure to congratulate the corps and thank them for valuable service rendered to the school during the ses- sion of 1934-'3S. J. P. MOORE. I believe in R. O. T. C. training for every boy in the U. S. There are so many things given in the training that they can't get elsewhere, namely, neatness of person, courtesy, respect for others, and the ability to receive and obey orders. Polytechnic High School has the best R. O. T. C. Unit in the city. This is brought about by the tireless efforts of their capable commandant, Capt. Sutton, and his faithful staff of officers. My association with the R. O. T. C. Unit and its sponsors this year has been a source of great pleasure to me. I have found that the Polytechnic High School has no more loyal and co-operative group of students than the R. O. T. C. They are always striving to do the things that will put Poly High School on the map. Yours for a still greater R. O. T. C., CAPTAIN ALICE HALE. Ma'or Hathawa , ins ectin officer, stated: I am favorabl im ressed about the wa the entire I wi Q Y P g Y . P Y inspection was carried on as a whole. At the close of the year's work as we take account of the efforts made for social development and note the results attained, we feel that a word of appreciation and commendation is due the R. O. T. C. of Poly High School. This organization has given our school and our city its fullest support and en- thusiastic co-operation at all times. The R. O. T. C. has, in my opinion, done much to aid in building within our school the fine school spirit, that is known for its loyalty to high ideals and friendly and unselfish co-operation that exists between patrons, teachers, and pupils. By its fine sportsmanship and high standards attained in competitive work it has brought to our school honor and much favorable notice and comment. While the R. O. T. C. has rendered this most valuable service to the school at large, it has as a natural consequence rendered a greater service to those who have served. It has developed in its mem- bers a finer character, a more pleasing personality and developed many worthwhile habits and attitudes. E. E. DYEss. 'L ,.-.

The next game found the Parrots in Weatherford on September 29, for a night game against the rather weak Kangaroos. Demonstrating a powerful running attack, the Orange and Black set a Dis- trict 7 record by defeating that club 98 to 0 in a conference game. Traveling down to Brownwood, the Parrots, on October 5, played the Lions a practice game on their field Linder the floodlights, defeating them in one of the roughest games ever played on their held. The score was 50 to 0. The North Side Steers were the next district opponents to face the Parrots, and on October 12, in a ni ht vame at La Grave Field the Oran'e and Black demonstrated its district stren th b defeatin' g 5 S S Y the Steers. The score was 39 to 0. After a two weeks' rest, the Parrots played their old rivals, the Central Panthers. Determined to stop a losing streak of 13 straight years, this club,the strongest one Polytechnic has ever had, defeated on October 26, 1934, by a score of 13 to 6, the Central Panthers in a torrid battle before some 20,000 fans. The night of November 3 found the Parrots playing hosts to the Mineral Wells Mountaineers at La Grave Field. Although the Parrot second stringers were held to 7 points the first half, the Hrst stringers started the second half and by scoring 25 points made the score 32 to 0, giving the Parrots their fourth conference win. A fighting bunch of Stripling Yellow Jackets were the next opponents to go down in defeat at the hands of the Orange and Black, and on the night of November 9, the Jackets bowed to the Parrots 34 t0 7. Following the Stripling game came a nan-conference game with the Wichita Falls Coyotes Novem- ber 16, in Wichita Falls, under the floodlights in which the Parrots were winners in a tough game by a score of 13 to 6. Having Won all their games as had the Masonic Home Masons, the Parrots were now tied for hrst place, and the scheduled game between the two clubs on November 24, was to decide the District title. Before 10,000 fans at the T. C. U. Stadium, the Parrots and the Masons in a day game, battled to a 6 to 6 tie, making another game between the two clubs necessary. In order to prevent another tie for the District title, the next game, by an agreement between the coaches, was to be settled in case of a tie by 20-yard penetrations. Again the two clubs battle to a tie, 0 to 0, and the championship of District 7 went to Masons on 20-yard penetrations, 3 to 1. POST SEASON GAME Determined to prove their strength, the Parrots challenged the Temple Wildcats, one of the strong- est teams in the state, and on December 14, these two clubs met on La Grave Field in one of the hardest fought games of the year, only to find their efforts to score in vain, and the game ended in a 0 to 0 tie. . -'P-' . '21 M ff' , ,, It L ,-L .arg if -' L 'ew 'I 1 ' - L Top Row: Bill Callaway, half, played smart, heads-up ball when called upon to fill Patriek's or l'larris's position. His playing ranked right along with the best, and he will certainly be missed in '35. Clifford Campbell, end, didn't begin the season in the starting line, but he finished there in great style when called upon, and certainly played his part in making Poly undefeated. Bottom Row: Walter Higgins, all district guard for the past two seasons, has shown followers of the Parrots that he was one of the best guards Polytechnic High has ever produced. Too much praise can not be given Walter for his work during the season of l933-34, and his lczss next year will be deeply felt. James Neathery, known to the boys as Little Jim, did his part in making a winning team in 534, many times replacing Schmidt or Francis at tackle in crucial moments. Paul Smith, center, although left off the all district team, was one of the best centers in the state, playing smart, alert football all the season and backing up the line as well as the best of them. Graduation will leave his position to hll. H. I.. Donaldson, alternating with Robert Mcfflung at quarter-back, called a nice game at all times, and was one of the best backs in district 7. R. G. Rucker, half, little but a nice punter and passer, was one of the most elusive backs in the district, and was capable of Hlling in at either half at any time. i 'W 4' 'rts f Top Row: Kerrigan Lee, guard, was a capable substitute at all times for Higgins or Boles. He has one more year and probably will have a regular place on the team next season. Kent Prim, tackle, after much improvement in ,53 and ,5-l, was of great value to the team in lilling in at either tackle when called upon, and doing the job nicely. Marvin fBaldyl Armstrong, end, contributed greatly to the defeat of Central in '54 by Poly, Never will fans forget his goal line stand in that crucial fourth quarter, and because of the eight semester ruling, his position is another gap that must be nlled. liottom Row: Matt Ardoyno, guard, replaced Higgins or Holes when needed, playing line ball at all times without weakening the team in the least. He will sec more service for Poly in '3S. L. XV. Harris, halt' back, by his ability to plunge the line for needed yardage, was chosen on the all district eleven and given a mention on the all-state grid squad. Norman Vihdlington, full back, filled well that position when called upon to take l3urge's place, making the team as strong at all times. l.on Goldstein, end, lilling in at end, when ealletl upon, played a nice brand of ball and will certainly be of value to the team in fall of '35. Robert McClung, quarter-back, who was a line punter and passer, called nice game when playing, and was one of the best backs in the district. Top Row: Jack Burge, full back, chosen co-captain for US, played outstanding football the whole season at that position. Using his football ability to the greatest extent, he made himself cn: of the best line backers in the state. Durwood Horner, end, was elected co-captain for the '35 season, played steady heads-up ball the whole season, and to his credit was chosen on the all district team. Theron Francis, veteran tackle of '33-,34, did his part in making Poly :i winning combination by playing steady hcatls-up ball at all times. Graduation will make his position on the team another place to fill in '3S. September 22 September 29. . . October 5 October 12 October 26. , . .

The score was 13 to 6 on October 26, 1934. His replacement in '35 will be hard to make. Terry Patrick, half, was one of the most elusive backs in the state, being chosen on several all state teams. He was Poly's biggest threat in all games, playing heads up football at all times, and 4-lfling m0Sl of Il1C liiCliinH, P3SSing, and fllllllinjl. ,Ioffre lioles, one of the best guards in the state for the pact two seasons, has demonstrated by his ability on the Held as well as in school activities, that he is a leader, and for that reason was chosen by the football squad as co-captain along with Terry Patrick for the '34 season. His position in 155 will certainly be hard to 511. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE November 9 ,,,. Poly . ,, 34 Stripling , November 16 .... Poly . . . 13 Wichita Falls . November 24 .,.. Poly . , 6 Masonic Home .

REVIEW OF BASKETBALL SEASON With the three letterman, Durwood Horner, Robert McClung and Lon Goldstein returning from last year's team, and squadmen Adams, Crowley, R. Brown, Dellis, and Easterwood, Coach W. W. Bradshaw set forth to build another championship basketball team. Opening the season against Vocational, the Parrot Cagers took a practice game from them S0 to 19 in a fast game. The next game the team played was a conference game with the North Side Steers in which the Parrots were victors 31 to 26. The Parrots were victors twice more over the Steers before the close of the season. After the North Side game the Central Panthers were the next opponents to face the Parrots in a conference game and the Parrots were winners 40 to 33 in a hotly contested game. The Panthers were defeated three more times by the Parrots, while the Panthers took one game from the Orange and Black to hand them their first conference loss in the last half of the basketball race and to throw the race into a tie. The Parrots defeated Central for the Class A title, 31 to 24, in the Hnal game of the season between the two Clubs. Against Stripling the Parrots were Victors in every game, winning the first 39 to 33 and take the others handily. On defeating the Central Panthers for the Class A title, the Parrots in the city title play-off, drop- ped the first game to the Diamond Hill Eagles in a close game, 17 to 16, but took the next two games easily to win the city title. With the right to represent Fort Worth in the annual District 10 cage meet, the Parrots, drawing Burleson, as their first opponents, defeated them at the T. C. U. Field House, February 22, in one of the most thrilling games ever played between two high schools, 26 to 25. Following the Burleson game the Parrots drew as their next opponents, the Denton Broncs, but were defeated easily by the tall cagers, who went on to State Hnals.

BROADCAST The Parrot-Time radio program, which has been presented over Station KTAT each week this school year, was originated and sponsored by the R. O. T. C. Club, under the auspices of Captain Sut- ton and Mr. Moore. The purpose of the programs was to acquaint the public of Fort Worth with the activities of students in our school, and to display for their entertainment the various talents of our pupils. Some school organization has been featured on each broadcast, the members of the club planning and managing the thirty-minute program. Speakers from the club usually gave a brief summary of the his- tory of the organization, its purpose, and its accomplishments. Readings, Q vocal and instrumental mu- sical selections, both classical and popular, played on a varied number of instruments, have been pre- sented by the clubs. ' Aside from this phase of the broadcasts, a resume of school activities has been presented by the school reporter, and a weekly survey of athletic enterprises has been presented by the athletic reporter. Round-school news included club activities, class meetings and discussions, the various scholastic pur- suits of students, briefs about the faculty, and announcements and reviews of social events. The ath- letic reports brought to the public eye, throughout the seasons, latest developments concerning foot- ball, basketball, track and spring training, tennis, and golf. ln this way, the listeners were enabled to follow throughout the entire year the progress made by our students, in all Fields, both as individuals and as organizations. During the first semester the programs were presented on Tuesday afternoons at 5:50. During the Spring term, they were presented on Thursday afternoons at 4:45. The signature piece was the school song. N A XJ' x M an-. X 'X Y 5 J at Q69 I Iuq., ,, qV,.

The Poly Hi-Y Club was fortunate in having one of its members elected President of the North Central Texas Older Boys' Conference for 1936. At this organization meeting February 1, 2, 3, which was held at Denison, this distinction has not been held by a Fort Worth Hi-Y Club in over a decade, and never by Poly Hi-Y Club. Several radio program given by the Poly Hi-Y have made it of more than just a school interest, and its affiliation with the all-City Hi-Y Club has strengthened its position as a club. . sly.

CBJ If you finish your university course and cannot find employment in the profession for which you have qualified, you can take a business job.

You will notice that the best lawyers, the best doctors, the best engineers, etc., are all good business men and Women.

Z X ill Have a Fair Chance at B TA TI L SUCCESS vard-Looking Young Person Want? WHERE IS CPPORTU ITY? In many places there is no opportunity-and for many people there is no opportunity. Opportunity travels on a high level-and opportunity, like a fast train, seldom stops where there is no chance to do business. It is certainly true that the greatest opportunities today are in the field of business-and also that opportunity means most to those who are prepared to render superior service in this Held. If we are to take earnings as a basis for measuring success, business ranks head and shoulders above all other vocations. Making money is not the whole measure of success, but it is om' of the very f?SSC'lZfidI facffors. You are looking ahead and thinking ahead. You now have your basic edu- cation, and you,re anxious to know where your chance for achievement lies. If you will look about you, you will conclude that there are a fbozzsrmd business men needed for every doctor, every clergyman, every lawyer, every engineer, and every architect in the community. ln other words, there are a thousand calls for trained young people in business to one for those trained for any given profession. Business training will prepare you to make a living-that is the jfrsf step to- ward useful citizenship. It has been said that the kind of life one lives is deter- mined by the way one makes one's living. If this be true-and it is-it is im- portant to be able to make enough money to live well!

TQ X Q - f May 29, 1945. Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience and fellow members of the '35 Club, through the cour- tesy of Mr. W'illiam Carpenter, president of the N. B. C. Network, we are broadcasting this, our 10th annual meeting of the '35 classes of Polytechnic High School. Fortunately, most of the members of our organization were able to attend this reunion tonight, and it seems most appropriate at this time to introduce some of them to you in the radio audience. First, ladies and gentlemen,-the President of the United States, Dwight DeLano Saunders, and the First Lady of the land, Jean Atkinson Saunders. Over in the far corner behind that cannon is General Darrell Glenn, Secretary of War, and here on my left are Misses Ruth Roach, Hazel Ruth Walton, and Pauline Noblet, president and sales managers, respectively, of the Polytechnic Poly Pop Factory, who have generously donated our refreshments for this evening. By the way, can you hear those thunderous growls? Don't be alarmed, it's only Lyman Butch Simpson, announcer for the Sunburn Coffee hour, who is slightly skeptical concerning my radio-announ- cing talents. All of which reminds me that Clay Foster Collier and Orchestra are presented each Wed- nesday evening at 9:30 by the Sunborn Coffee Company. Here,s a surprise! A club member whom we had not expected has torn himself away from his chicken farm in Arkansas in order to be present. He's the tall, blond fellow perched on the chicken crate -none other than our own Andy Minshew. Welcome, Andy! Over there tuning up his violin is Bill Callaway, the 1945 Rubinoff, and standing next to him, providing inspiration, is Mildred Burton, America's most sought-after model, who is at present posing for Fisher Bodies, Inc. Incidentally, Helen Hall and Pauline Crosby, who now own and operate the Poly Opera, with H. L. Donaldson as head usher, extend to all club members the invitation to attend the midnight preview to- night, starring Leona cathey, whose screen name is Zazu Pittfall, Christine O'Kelly, and Syble Gar- rett, better known as Mae East. And here's a hint to the wise! Before taking in the Poly Opera, drop in at the Cozy Corner Tea Room, owned by Annie Laurie Lane and Ruth Steen, and enjoy a cup of Tay- lor's Terrible Tea. Congratulations, Winston, on the new consolidation. Speaking of tea, Mary Frances Roberson, the celebrated dancer, has just returned from a tour of Europe, and was entertained at five o'clock tea by the well-known society matron, the former Anna Marie Tartar. Here's something we're going to have to break up! Helen Ruth Verheyden, that feminine Walter Winchell, and Marvin Searcy, the well-known columnist, are over in the corner taking shorthand notes on tonight's proceedings. Eleanor Brame and Theron Francis, who are singing the leading roles in Carmen this season, are being shooed off the Baby Grand by the janitor, Clarence Hack Wilson. Ray Holmes, president of the United Press Consolidated, and his assistants, Jerald Brannon, and H. A. Withers, are deep in a business conference, ignoring me and my speech-making. Such manners, boys! Business propositions are prospering around the studio tonight.

In this issue we have tried to show the real spirit of our school in all its activities and curricula of a most successful year. To carry out our purpose a co-operative spirit of all students was necessary. We wish to thank those students who were prompt in having their pictures made, prompt in handing in their write-ups, and prompt in purchasing their annual, thereby assuring its financial success. As the etchings and art work on the division sheets were made by art students, we have Beth Lca to thank for the etchings, Ivy May Chollar and Margaret Lee for the block prints, Edward French for the drawings of the building, and Oscar May for the cartoons. These students have Worked long and hard for the material improvement of our annual and have been faithfully helped by Mrs. Fritz to whom we also wish to ex- tend our thanks. Again let us thank the art students for this annual's art work. Above all others, our sincere gratitude and appreciation go out to our faculty sponsor, Miss Maurine Martel. She has inspired us by her cheerfulness and words of en- couragement to do our best. She has made our work a pleasure and by her untiring efforts has strived to make this annual a lasting success. She will not only be remem- bered by the members of this staff as a teacher but also as a true friend. We Wish to express thanks to Mr. Moore and the faculty for their readiness and wiflingness te- assist us in the publication of this book. To Mr. Sims of Priceis Studio we feel grateful for his time and patience he has spent in giving us most excellent photography in this year's book. We have Mr. Crowe of Stafford's Engraving Company to thank for our mountings, engravings, and printing of our art work. Also to Mr. Babcock and Mr. McKnight of Babcock Printing Company we wish to extend our thanks for their time spent and interest shown in helping edit this book. To the business concerns who advertised in this book we feel indebted for their co- operation without which we could not have enjoyed success.
