A When the pleasant memories of all school activities have long been for- gotten, and the 1938 graduates have separated and perhaps scattered to the far ends of the earth, let this book be the one unrelenting tie which binds them together. May they someday find it in a musty old trunk, or perhaps in some long-abandoned attic, and upon slowly turning through its yellowed pages, may all of those treasured experiences come back to them. May they realize that it Was Within the walls of Polytechnic High School that they received the foundation for their greatness. Let them be proud of the fact that they were members of the first graduating class which walked through the portals of our fine new building-the finest, we think, in the whole Wide world. t ul ' H..-VW K A-sell An 0 I A 1 as 8 ..- GEORGE IEWELL, IR. lilfilor DICK IENNINGS Busimfsx Munugvr I.

Calloway with first trophies: A District Trophy and a County Trophy in baseball. Years ago, the date has long been forgotten, a small, two-teacher school was erected in the community oi Polytechnic. This was known as the Man- chester School. Out oi this small beginning has grown Polytechnic l-ligh School as we know it today. The Manchester School, with its inadequate facilities, struggled along until 1905, when the first Polytechnic High School building was built. ln l907 PgF I POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOCL FACULTY -l9lI-I2 First Bow: Mr, Harvey Miner, Miss Marnie Drahn, Mr. Sarn I.

At that time there were 300 pupils with only 6 teachers. Through the able leadership of Sam I. Calloway, the school thrived in spite of great odds. Nearby was Polytechnic College offering high school work, and not far away the then Port Worth High School, now Paschal, was catering to many Polytechnic people. The school continued to grow, and in l9l2 the first class of graduates emerged. The enrollment at this time had reached something like l,UOO, and eleven members were given diplomas at the graduation exercises of Iune, I9l2. In l9l6 Dr. L. W. Newton, now a professor at North Texas State Teachers College, took over the superintendency of the Polytechnic Independent School District. I-Ie carried on the good work until l9l9 when Mr. R. M. Parker became superintendent. Because of the rapid growth it was soon found that the building would not accommodate the number of pupils. Due to the Page Fifteen First Row: Gaynelle Dunnam, A.

When Polytechnic was annexed to the City of Port Worth, the Polytech- nic schools became a part of the city system. Mr. Parker Was made princi- pal of Polytechnic High School. Upon the death of Mr. Parker in 1928 Mr. Meacham, Who is now capably serving in the capacity of Assistant Super- intendent of the Port Worth School System, became principal. Mr. Meacham's three years term saw the first temporary building added. lt has since been supplemented by five more. ln l93l when Mr. Green was made Superintendent of Port 'Vxforth Schools, Mr. Moore, as integral a part of our new building as the cornerstone itself, Was made principal. lt Was chiefly through his direction, as Well as that of Mr. Meacham and Mr. Green that our fine new building was constructed.

Wallace Ewell, sponsored by Irma Norwood, and instructed by Capt. F. W. Maxwell Com- mandant, the Corps was destined to become a powerful unit in the Fort Worth R. O. T. C. and one of which Polytechnic High School could be proud. In the spring of 1924, only a few months after its founding, the Crack Squad, represent- ing this school, took first place in the annual competition of the clty. This was only the be- ginning of a long and successful parade across the years. By 1925 the corps had increased in personnel to two companies and an R. O, T. C. band. This band, under the direction of Col. Crites became quite a benefactor to the unit. ln the duration of the year, 1926, the corps won the honor banner signifying that Poly- technic had the cream of the city cadets, and this group was also honored by the presenta- Pugr Szvnlty-ive STAFF LT.

In 1927 the corps had increased to the extent that it was necessary to add another corn- pany. Company H was rated as the best unit in appearance in Fort Worth. At the platoon competition of the year the platoon taking first place came from Polytechnic. The Second Battalion was formed this year of the Polytechnic and North Side units, being commanded by Major Wallace Ewell of this school. Col. Crites was doing an excellent job with his band. It was not only the largest band in the city, but was rated as the best. In l928, although reduced to two companies, the corps was still strong in fighting spirit. Both E and F Companies entered a squad in the competition held at the Dallas Fair, and both squads brought home honors, having won first and second places. In the company com- petition, also held at the Fair, Company E won the cup for the best drilled company. Lt. Col. Combs of the Polytechnic unit won the honor of being high point man in the City Rifle Match. In l93l the Polytechnic cadets won their annual football game with the Paschal cadets by a score of I2 to 2, and the corps progressedwith characteristic rapidity. The Polytechnic cadets lost their Commandant at the beginning of the fall term of 1933. Upon this date Capt. Maxwell was replaced by Capt. Sutton, 144 Inf. Capt.

The years l934 and l935 saw the corps improve in many ways. A rifle team consisting of Col. I. R. Hall, Col. Wayne Glenn, Major Iohn Hughes, lst Lt. Lyman Simpson, and lst Lt. Dean Head Won first place in the city rifle match, and Col. Head was decorated as high point man. This was Polytechnic's first year to have four companies and, as a demonstra- tion of strength, marched forth to capture the first places in Federal Inspection and squad competition. Col. Crites still maintained the standard of the largest band in the city, and Major Dean Head was promoted to the position of all-city cadet band leader. An R. O. T. C. carnival furnished much entertainment for the school, and an R. O. T. C. sponsored radio program was given featuring talent from the sschool. After winning the Federal Inspection of l936, the first company, consisting entirely of Polytechnic cadets, made its appearance at Camp Dallas, Mineral Wells, Texas. Command- ed by Capt. Iames Lamar Stuckert, the one and only I Company in the United States, as far as is known to us, sprang into existence. This company was the brain child of Capt. Sutton, who had for several years worked to form a company to represent Polytechnic at the camp. Page Srunrly-xewn CAPTAIN Iay V. Russell FIRST LIEUTENANTS Iack S. Baker Luther L.

Randolph Hearst Rifle Match. Soon after, in the match held at the N. T. A. C. range between Fort Worth and Dallas cadets, Lts. Alfred Peacock and Nelson Powell placed the two highest men of the city. Then came Federal Inspection in which the Polytechnic unit was highly commended. As part of the demonstration, a combat problem was put into actual practice, which was an outstanding feat. The unit received a let- ter from headquarters commending them most highly on their splendid performance. At the end of the spring term of 1937 lst. Sgt. O. S. Lattimore received the decoration for being the best cadet of the year and was presented an appropriate decoration by Company B , 144th Inf. Again the boys enjoyed Camp Dallas in the summer. Sgt. Chilcoat was the winner of the sergeants' efficiency medal for being the best sergeant in the company. U The fall of 1937 was the beginning of inter-company football games, from which Company F emerged the victor. It was then the obligation of the other companies to give them a Page Swmiy-rigbt RIFLE TEAM or fl' . First Bow: B. Watson, L. Marshall, I. Livesay, W. Chilcoat, W. Hard, W. Polk.

On November ll, Company F was again honored by being called upon to act as color company of the regiment for the Armistice Day Parade. ln the annual competition, Capt. Chilcoat commanded the Polytechnic squad. lt was in excellent form, and the judges used some careful judgment before placing the squad in sec- ond place. Iust two weeks before the close of the year the officers were invited to a Reserve Offi- cers' meeting, in which Capt. Harry Knight of the Texas National Guard Cavalry discussed the new Streamlined Division. On the day after the Christmas holidays the B. O. T. C. moved into its new armory. To the satisfaction of all, this new armory was built with a rifle range. After the opening of the new range by Mr. Moore, who fired the first shot, the range has been used by the rifle teams for much needed practice. Suddenly on the first of February, the corps received a telegram from Major General Brees, Eighth-Corp Area Commander, stating that the corps had exactly twenty-four hours to BAND G' yi First How: C.

After much arduous effort the boys completed their preparation and gave a grand showing. Sgt. Barney Watson received a medal for being the high point man on the Polytechnic Rifle Team in the city match but was not eligible for the medal for being high point man on the Hearst team which he also won. Lt. Luther Marshall, being second high, was awarded the medal. The corps is working hard and looking forward to Federal Inspection and platoon com- petition and no doubt will show the same spirit always asserted by Polytechnic. lCnntiz1um' on Page One laluldrm' farm'-hurl l Ill , J I ,:I,H s 5 n...,,.

HEAD COACH LUTHER The students oi SCARBOROUGH Poly High School are indeed proud to have as their head coach Luther T. Scarborough. Mr. coach at Poly si three fine iootba Scarborough has been head nce l935. He has produced ll teams and two excellent basketball teams, one of these winning third place in the state race. The students and faculty of Poly High School pay tribute to Coach Luther 'Taylor Scarborough. This picture not only includes coaches, letter- men, and managers, but also all boys who have been out for football. They deserve more credit than is given them for our teams being what it is. Every day, rain or shine, cold or warm, these boys were always ready to practice and co-operate with the team and coaches to the iullest extent. There is not a boy in this group who wouldn't have given his all if he had been called upon to do his best in one of the games. ASSISTANT COACH CHARLES BERRY Having served as assistant to Coach Luther Scarborough f for the past three years, Coach Charles Berry has A made a wonderful record in my Poly High School. Not only has he served as assistant football coach, but has pro- A duced two second place track Li ,. teams, each time only being T Tl t beaten by a small margin. Due to his wonderful person- ality he has made himself a favorite with both student body and teachers. The students and teachers of Poly High School are proud to have as their assistant coach, Mr. Charles Berry. Page Eigbly-Iwo - mi Qf' t, 2 4 2 t 1 W .1 lsbell back! Hunter kicks out!

He was a hard fighter and never gave up no matter how tar behind his team might have been. Fred Lancaster-eGuard Iunior was rough and tough. He was always in there fighting and giving of his best at all times. His size prevent- ed him from playing regularly, but because of his never-say-die at- titude, he will be long remembered. I. L.

I Eugene Colemane Tackle Legs was one of t hardest hitting tackl in the district and w very valuable to t 37 team. He play practically full time t season. SEASON'S PROSPECTS The Poly Parrots should have a strong team this year with five lettermen returning. Six lettermen were available until Max Sims was forced to quit football due to an old knee injury. This probably will be a great loss to the Parrot squad because of Sims's pass catching ability. The other five lettermen are: Captain Hank Winters, Phil Roach, Mac Isbell, lohnny Hunter, and Ar- thur Hagar. The only spots which look weak at present are the guard and tackle posts. These will probably be played mostly by little Sam CDutchl Al- ford and H. L. Nicholson at guard positions, with Walter Dillingham and Eugene Coleman at the tackle posts. These boys should develop into val- uable men with the coaching Coaches Scarborough and Berry will give them. The Parrots will have many capable replacements this year with Pres- ton Moser, Bob Henderson, lack Garrett, M. I. lvie, and Fred Smith dropping into the backfield. ln the line we find Neale Gilliam, Fred Smerke, Harold Brown and Charles Campbell ready to go when called upon. N We are hoping this year's prospects Won't fall flat, but that the Parrots will come through with a real title bid. POLY'S LATE SPURT BEATS VERNON, 18-6 The Orange Birds started the season off with a bang by romping over the Vernon Lions by a score of l8 to 6. Poly's first score came in the middle Page Eighly-four '- f Stl 1 . N ,.. ,-- A. . W .-P--.bfi .ll Roper Guard ll was a hard tackler id blocker, and when 5 entered a game he tended to fight. He .ternated with Nichol- an at cr guard post rid proved a most val- :tble man. Phil Roach-Back Willie was the hard- est tackling fullback in the district this year. Offensively he played blocking back, and it was largely due to his efforts that the other boys were able to get loose on some of those long runs. Phil was chosen the most val- uable player on the 37 team. lack Garrett--Center Pretty was Poly's sensational sophomore center. He has two more years of football and is expected to make all-district both of thern. He played fullback on defense and did a swell job of line-backing. Harold Moore- Guard Bashful played guard and was a tough one. He lettered only one year but was a willing worker and a good sport. His defensive work was easily out- standing. Sam Alford- -Guard Dutch was small but his fighting spirit made up for his size. A vi- cious tockler and block- er, Alford was one of the best guards in the district. The Dutchman has another year. of the first period when lohnny Hunter ran wide around Vernon's right flank for a score. Coach Scarborough then sent Bob Henderson into the game to kick the extra point, but he failed in the attempt. The Lions then turned on the power to come back with a sustained drive which netted six points. The Lions failed in their attempt to kick extra point, and the half ended, 6-6. Poly came back strong in the third quarter to push over another touch- down with a pass from Winters to Hagar, making the score Poly 12, Vernon 6. Roach's attempted conversion was blocked by Buster Burling of the Ver- non squad. Poly's final score of the game came as a result of a freakish play. The Parrots lost the ball on downs on the Vernon ten yard line, and Smith at- tempted to kick out for the Lions. His kick was blocked by big Eugene Cole- man. The ball bounced into Fred Smerke's hands, and he ran over for the last score of the game. Roach failed to convert from placement. POLY SMEARS BORGER IN EARLY PRAY The fighting Parrots smashed the strong Borger team this season by a score of 23 to 6. Poly's first score came the first time they got their hands on the ball. They rove from their own twenty-five yard line to the Borger nine yard line, with Isbell and Hunter carrying. Winters finally went over. lack Garrett kicked the extra point, making the score, 7-U. After the Parrots kicked off, there was an exchange of punts. Borger then pushed over their score, Page Eighty-five , . ffbfg Mil Neale Gilliam-End Blister Ice was one of the Parrot reserve ends. He was a good defensive player cmd a good blocker on of- fense. Neale was ham- pered by injuries at the first of the season, otherwise he would have been a starter. He has another year of eligibility. Fred Smerke-End Smerkle had to beg for his football suit from Coach Scarborough, be- cause everyone thought he was too small to play. He developed rapidly and is expect- ed to make one of the greatest ends ever turned out at Poly. He ' has another year of ' football. Fred SmithYBack L- Fred played vicious ball all season and was a most depend- able baclc. In his one more year of football eligibility many great things are expected of him. . w it Y I-e tl' W L if it Captain Hank Winters Back Hank, a three-year let- terman and captain of the 37 crew, was a real credit to his school all year.

The re- mainder of the first and second guar- ters went scoreless. At the half the Parrots kicked to Bor- ger, and the third quarter was played without another score until Hunter passed to Winters in the left flat for a touchdown. Garrett's try for point was good. Then again, in about five minutes time, several off-tackle and around-end plays gave Poly a first down on Borger's fifteen yard line. Hunter passed to Campbell in the end zone for a touchdown. A practically new team was then sent in. They, with W. K. Brown carrying, crossed the Borger goal, but the play was called back because of an off-side. lack Gar- rett then dropped back from his center post to boot a neat field goal for three points. The game ended with the Par- rots on the heavy end of a 23-6 score. IACKETS TIE PARROTS. 6-6 The Poly Parrots and the Arlington Heights Yellow Iackets battled to a 6-6 tie this season in their conference opener. The game was bitterly con- tested until late in the second quarter when a series of pass plays carried to Poly's twelve yard stripe. Then Bob Maddox, Arlington Heights back, went over standing up for a touchdown. Tackle Gordon Coley failed to kick the goal. The Iackets then kicked to Poly and the Birds set to work. Winters took the ball from Isbell on a double reverse off left .tackle and, following perfect blocking, ran 70 yards for Poly's score. Coach Scarborough sent in lack Gar- rett to kiclgi the extra point, but the kick was blocked, leaving the score 6 to 6. During the last half the air was filled with passes, but little damage was done to either side. There were sev- eral nice gains at the line made by Hunter and Isbell for Poly, and Wil- , has-Qsjgfo'-'fi' . ,r U, .M , V, .. 4 .,E,.-Y. ...-,W,,..v,.-,Uv-..

EL PASO EKES OUT 7-6 WIN OVER POLY Poly's fighting Parrots were downed by the El Paso High Tigers in the Bengal's mountainside stadium by the small margin of 7 to 6. The Tigers' score came in the middle of the first period when Terrell, a shifty little back, snake-hipped his way through the Par- rot secondary for a touchdown. The kick from placement was good. The Birds came back strong in the second period to run and pass the ball to within the shadow of the Tigers' goal line, but on this occasion they didn't have enough drive to make it count. The Tigers took the ball and ran it out from their goal, but at last the valiant Parrots took over the ball on downs. ln the third quarter, the Parrots play- ed on El Paso's goal line most of the time. The game turned into a punting duel with Iohnny Hunter doing some very clever punting to set the Bengals back inside their five yard line on sev- eral occasions. Poly's score came late in the fourth quarter when Hunter crashed over from the El Paso one yard line. lack Garrett's kick was wide. The final score was El Paso 7, Poly 6. PASCHAL WINS FROM PARROTS, 6-0 In what proved to be Paschal's first win from Poly in four years, the Pan- thers took the Parrots before a crowd of 12,000 people this year. Paschal scored in the second period after a 57 yard gallop by Frank Kring put the ball in position. Kring then took the ball, faded back and threw a twenty- five yard pass, which Powell caught between two Parrot defensive men and fell across the goal. lay Lowery, ' -'rr f T'-awri i4 VTYWIWW' Charles Campbell- End Charles developed into one of the best ends in the district race this season and was a real plug in the Parrot de- fense as well as a star on offense. Bob Henderson-Back Bob was one of Poly's fastest backs and finest punters this year. Al- though he didn't play much, he earned his letter the first year. He has two more years of eligibility and is ex- pected to do great things for Poly on the gridiron. Iohnny Hunter-Back Iohnny made all-dis- trict this season. He played hard ball all year and well deserved to be elected captain of next year's team. Here's luck to you. Iohnny. and the 38 team. Marshall McMahan- End Mac was one of the reserve ends who didn't get to play much. He was a little small but when Coach Scar- borough called upon him he really played to capacity. Marshall has another year and should develop into one of the best pass catch- ing ends ever produced at Poly.

Preston Moser-Back Speedy was one of the fastest and hardest running backs ever produced at Poly. Al- though he wasn't a first string back, he Was continually at practice cmd was rated as one of the best backs in the district. K' J ju , f K Edley Steen4BcZk Stein played a good brand of football all season. He was a most dependable tackler, and when he was called upon to relieve Roach at his line-backing post, he did a wonderful job. W. K. Brown--Back Brownie was a small backfield man but when called upon real- ly did his best. His jo- vial spirit and ever- present enthusiasm was a great asset to the team. Mac Isbell-Back Mac served as quarter- back on this year's team and proved to be a very good one. He played hard all sea- son and was especial- ly outstanding in his defensive work. When calling signals, he never showed any par- tiality to anyone. He always called the play which he thought the whole team would benefit from. Paschal guard, kicked for goal, but the attempt was low and wide. Poly threatened to score several times during the second half, but each time they neared scoring distance, they were set back by penalties. The Parrots also outplayed the Panthers in the line during the latter part of the game and allowed but few yards. Isbell, Winters, and Roach played fine offensive ball for the Parrots, with the center of the line also holding up exceptionally well. Although the odds were against the luckless Parrots, they showed up well even in defeat. STEERS WIN OVER PARROTS, 6-0 The North Side Steers started things early in the first period with two shovel passes from Danny Reese, first to left wingback Matson, and then to May- field, which gave the Bovines 34 yards, two first downs, and the ball on the Parrot twelve yard line. Matson shot off-tackle for six yards, and Reese scampered around end for the score. Mayfield's try for extra point was no good. The Parrots winged inside the Steers' five yard line several times during the contest but always were cut short by inches. In the fourth quarter the Par- rots, with Isbell, Hunter, and Winters carrying, drove to the twelve yard line, and once more just inside the five yard line, but each time they faltered on the brink of the North Side end zone. PARROTS TROUNCE MINERAL WELLS, 33-0 The Poly Parrots, displaying amaz- ing strength, beat the Mineral Wells Mountaineers to the tune of 33 to 0 in the Mineral Wells stadium Armistice Day afternoon. The Parrots' running attack proved too much for the Re- sorters. The first score come in the middle of the first quarter, when the Mountaineers failed to stop a sus- tained Parrot drive. Iack Garrett's Pag: Eighty-right -f, 1- - twpqp-5 kick for extra point was wide and the score was 6-0. The remainder of the first half went scoreless. At the beginning of the second half the Parrots started for the Mineral Wells goal line. Then again Hunter, the boy who couldn't be stopped, went over for his second touchdown of the day. Garrett's kick was good. ln the last of the third period Phil Roach made his first touchdown of the sea- son. Roach was a blocking back and had little chance to carry the ball, but when called upon, he really did drive. The Parrots kicked off to the Mountaineers, and a fumble gave Poly the ball. F rom there a pass, Winters to Brown, added six more points. Garrett's kick was again good. Then in the final minute of play Hunter passed one to Marshall McMahan for the last tally. The game ended with Poly again the victor. MASONS SLASH PARROTS, 21-6 Poly lost to the Masons this year after having defeated them last year, 18-6. The Masonic Home boys scored in the first period when Don Stevens smashed over for the tally. Their try for point was good, making the score 7-O. In the remainder of the first half no more scores were made. ln the third stanza the Parrots took on new life and made a touchdown with Iohnny Hunter carrying the ball. Hunter drove off tackle, cut back fol- lowing his blocking, and raced 36 yards to the goal line. The Masons then came back and scored again in the third to make the score 14 to 6. Stevens carried the ball over on several attempts at the line. The outstanding offensive threat of the evening proved to be the All-District Masonic fullback, Don Stevens. This boy was a thorn in the Parrots' side every time he took the ball. In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter Stevens scored his third and final touchdown of the day to leave the score 21-6 in favor of the Masons. EAGLES TROUNCE PARROTS The fighting Riverside Eagles came from behind a 6-0 lead late in the closing minutes of a bitterly contested game, to down the Parrots this year. Poly made its score in the first quarter. Iohnny Hunter carried it over from the five yard line after a series of passes and end sweeps had put it in posi- tion. The kick for point was blocked. The remainder of the first half was played in Riverside's end of the gridiron with neither team threatening seri- ously. The Parrots were once on the Eagles' fifteen yard stripe but didn't have the drive to go any farther. No more scores were made until late in the fourth period, when Coon, Riverside's right half, carried the ball on an end sweep to the Poly fifteen yard line. Here in the shadow of their goal posts the Parrots didn't give an inch. Then Poly took the ball and started to kick out. The punt was blocked by Hardin of Riverside, and Knifong recovered for the Eagles in the Parrot end zone for a touchdown. Knifong's attempt at conversion was good, and the game ended, 7-6. 1 Pay-'Bdgbty-nine WWA... ,Mm 4 M. f . First Row: Ft. Matthis, C. Lohrlce, B. Fannin, B. Yates, I. Wilson, I, Prone, T. Vtfood.

BASKETBALL '2 sf W Pugr Ninvfy Captain Buster Yates Forward Buster was one of the lnest forwards in the city. l-le played practically con- tinuously in each qanie and made quite a hit with the spectators with his won- derful scoring ability. BASKETBALL The gym was filled with stars that first day when Coach Scarborough called for basketball tryouts. Such polished performers as Buster Yates, lames Bone, lohnny Hunter, lames Wilson, and a flock of other prospects were present. Cptimism filled the air. The outlook was unusually bright, and an even better team than last year's high scoring aggregation was ex- pected. Coach Scarborough spent long hours drilling the boys. Through- out the long Christmas holidays the boys could be found at any time dur- ing the day practicing in the gym. During the beginning of the season the boys played great ball, and they were rated as one of the finest teams in the state. The Parorot sguad was most successful, winning all of their preliminary games except the one against the advanced Arlington team. Even then they were considered by experts as being capable of defeating the Arlington boys in a return engage- ment. Midterm left the Parrots without the services of tall, rangy lohn Walker, but undaunted, the Orange sguad en- tered the tournament in the huge T. C. U. field-house in high spirits. The Poly boys showed much form in defeating the stubborn Riversiders, 23-22. Eight seconds were left in the game and the Eagles led 22-20. Then versatile lohnny Hunter dropped in a field goal to tie the score. l-le was fouled on the play and added the win- ning point with a free throw. The crowd was tense until the gun fired, and once again the Parrot held up her head with pride. 1 T n Raymond Matthis-Guard Raymond played a steady game all season. His game was a big asset to the Parrot's offensive and defensive games. Iohnny Hunter-Guard Iohnny played a good brand of basket- ball at a guard post. I-le showed his real ability during the last of the season to give the Parrots two victories which they otherwise might have lost. Then came the crucial game. With the district championship in the bal- ance, the confident Parrots met Paschal's game squad. The contest was ex- tremely close all the Way, with neither team ever having more than a three- point lead. At the close of the first period Poly led, 5-3. At half time again Carl Lohrke-Center Carl played center much of the time and was a very good one. He has two more years of eligi- bility in Poly and should develop into one of the best centers ever turned out at Poly. Bob Fannin-Center Bob was another of the great centers on the squad. His height made him an easy standout. He lettered his first year and has two more. Page Ninety-hun Iames Rene-Center Iames played almost full time at the coveted center post. He made many points when they were needed most. Iames Wilsonilforward Iames was Yates's mate at forward. l-Ie was a good passer and made many points throughout the year. it was Poly by 7-4. The Panthers outscored the Poly boys in the second half to tie the score at the time the gun tired. This necessitated an extra period in which Paschal Was able to make two field goals to leave the final score Paschal 18, Poly 14. Truman Wood+Center The tact that Truman played behind one of the best centers in the district was all that kept him from playing full time. He made many points during the season and was most valuable. Otis McClure-Forward Otis played practically full time after the loss of Iohn Walker at midterm. He was a good, fast player and was al- ways a standout as a result of his floor- work. Page Ninely-thru Flrst Row: L. T. Cain, P. Thompson, C. Campbell, M. lslcell, H. Winters, P. Roach, F. Smith, W.

The purpose ot this organization is to raise money for a train- ing camp for each football team from year to year. lt is composed ot letter- rnen from football, baseball, basketball, and track. Throughout each year the club is active in giving picnics and barbe- cues tor the lettermen and their dates. Each year the new lettermen are ini- tiated into the club by giving some sort of amusing pay-program in the audi- torium at assembly period. This money buys the boy's food while at the training camp, which usually lasts about two weeks. The program given this year was called Shower Room Varieties. lt was given in the form ot a television program. Dutch Alford was the star of the show girls. Pugc Ninety-four YELL LEADERS The Yell Leaders enjoyed a year ot varied activity. 'They not only were present at every game with undying energy and courage, but they enlivened the school with numerous pep rallies before school and at assembly periods. Gaily bedeclied in orange and black, they made their school known Wher- ever they went. Several social activities were also enjoyed during the year, including the football boy's banquet and a banguet and dance in Mineral Wells, which yell leaders from all Fort Worth l-ligh Schools attended. The spirit arousers also were present at the ground-breaking ceremony held at the proposed Farrington Field. Sponsored by the ever-smiling Miss Faulkner, the yell leaders Were: Marioray Ridley, Mary Tatum, Mary Sue Hooper, lack Sanditer, and George lewell. 1 x 1 I iii N, I . at C ll!! ll .G 'Ita E ' r 2- .. ,. .

The Par- rots, capably coached by Mr. Charles Berry, were successful in capturing their first District meet. Poly placed more men in the city meet than any other team in the city, but when hard luck hit them through an injury to Captain Fred Smith, they had to be content with second place, being nosed out by Paschal by a small margin. Following Poly in the city meet were: North Side, Riverside, Arlington Heights, and Handley. On April 16, the day of the District Meet, the outlook was not unusually bright. Poly had won only second place in the city meet, and because of the greater number of teams participating, it seemed that the hopes for Poly were extremely small. The Parrots fought that day. Coach Berry was every- where, helping this boy, instructing that one, inspiring all of them. When the points were added up, it was learned that the small band of Poly boys had won a total of 33 points, to outstrip their nearest rival, Paschal, by ll points. ln third place came North Side with 14 points, and Denton was able to gain 13 points, enough for fourth place. Schools from the entire district were represented. Some of these were: Cleburne, Masonic Home, Weatherford, Denton, Lewisville, Godley, Grapevine, Granbury, Gainesville, Arlington Eff, ' -4 - 'Cf' by -41' -r v . U-Y v I f-- -F4,,..

Poly has done extremely Well during this time, having Won the title for four years out of the last six, and never finishing lower than second in the city race. Last year the team was very strong, having six lettermen and being sponsored by Miss Nina Terry. This year's team is faced with the difficulty of only one returning letterman, Iames Bell, but Mr. Adair, the new spon- sor, has hopes for a fine team. The members of this year's club are: Iames Bell, Ioe Echols, Bill Evarts, Iess Horwell, I. P. Hester, Mac Isbell, Phil Roach, Louis Schmucker, Roy Stone and Fred Wadley. .ANZ TENNIS Although not classified as a ma- jor sport, tennis has been repre- sented in Polytechnic High School as far back as 1929. The Poly Club is one of the best of its kind in Fort Worth. The Club meets twice a week for the pur- pose of studying strokes, foot work, and court positions. Each year an elimination is held to organize the team that will enter the city tournaments. This year's team consists of: Homer Conley and A. C. Graf, playing boys' doubles, Malcolm Snow, playing boys' singlesg Helen Stallings and Catharine Greever, playing girls' doubles, and Virginia Echols, playing girls' singles. The teams played for the city championship March 30 at T. C. U. Poly swept the city in the doubles matches: both boys and girls are champions. Virginia Echols went to the finals in the girls' singles but lost to Arlington Heights, while Malcolm Snow lost in the first round. The two doubles teams play at T. C. U. April 8 for the district championship. Here's hoping. Page Ninety-nine is First Row: M. Allison, V. Smith, B. Brown, A. C. Graf I, Higgins, S. Sharp, C. Dillard, C. Greever, H. Stallings Mr, Brown.

Since it was formed in early November of last year, it has taken its stand among the other school athletic groups, with the membership open to boys and girls. This co-recreational type ot sport is becoming more popular among high school students which teaches skill and accuracy as well as social enjoyment. Competition runs very high in the Senior High School Girls Archery Tournament at Forest Park where the rounds are held each Spring. Nine girls, three in each division, A, B, and C, are entered from each school for first, second, and third place awards.

Mary Tatum ln the Fall of the year of 1933 the Girls' Athletic Association was organized. lt was organ- ized with the policy to encourage the participation of large numbers in group activities and class teams in the seasonal sports rather than the training of specialized groups. Its purpose is in co-operation with the Department of Physical Education to promote physical and mental efficiency, good sportsmanship, and athletic and social activities. The associate membership is open to all girls of the Polytechnic High School who are interested in active sports. Among the sports that have been enjoyed by the members of the Girls' Athletic Asso- ciation in the past and the present are volley ball, basketball, and baseball. At the end of the season of the different sports the girls enjoy inter-scholastic games. We have always had one of the outstanding teams of the different sports. ln addition to the above listed sports, the members in the Spring of the year, l938, enjoy such recreational activities as shuffle- board, table tennis, horseshoe, Croquet, and badminton. In the Fall the association enjoys a rally, which encourages and invites members, and in the Spring a round-up which is the annual picnic. The Girls' Athletic Association will be called The Team Sport Club at the beginning of the Fall term. Tennis, Archery, Rifle, and the Team Sports Club will form the Sports Asso- ciation.

IE Through the co-operation of the members of the club, more than twenty-five vol- . umes of Classical Iournal have been collected and filed away with the proper index gill attached to the filing case of each volume. This collection includes the magazines I 'R published from l908 to 1933. ' vi - ,Q ln recent years the club has been interested in the study of English derivatives from Latin, to the end that the Latin pupil may obtain efficiency in English vocabulary. The purpose of the club is accomplished by studying the home and civic life of the Romans, and by dramatizations in games, use of Latin slides, and other devices.

This organization is composed of ad- vanced mathematics students, principally seniors, who have two and one-half credits in math and were exempt in the last math taken. During the eight years of its exist- ence the Penta Club has contributed much to the intellectual lite ot the Poly High School. The purpose of the society is two-fold: to encourage a study of higher mathe- matics, and to teach the fundamentals of astronomy. The club has been much bene- fited by lectures given by Oscar Monnig, a well known Fort Worth astronomer. Much valuable study has been done and the club has progressed wonderfully since its be- ginning. First Row: I. Livesay, W. K. Garrett, G. lewell, B. Collier, G. Sumner, D, I. Andrews. Second Row: I.

The girls Won the state cup and repeated this in 1932. ln 1933 theygaptured second place, then in 1934 they won first place for the third time. This entitled them to keep the cup but made them ineligible to compete again for tive years. The year 1935 saw a tradition of the Poly High Glee Club repeated, that of sing- ing, once every three years, the Hallelujah Chours from the Messiah by Handel. The mixed chours sang the Hallelujah at numerous places during the year. Poly High won first place in Class A in the annual music meet tor girls' high school choral clubs at the College of lndustrial Arts in Denton.

This organization has as its purpose the promotion of amateur photography both as a hobby and as a skill. Any student who owns or who can borrow a camera is eligible for membership. During the Fall term individual members took football pictures, pictures of the new building, pictures of the snow, and pictures of the other students. Study topics in- cluded the techniques of the camera: balance, composition, and structure of picture subjects, particularly of landscapes. The members have divided themselves into teams and have, as teams, chosen subjects for a series of pictures. One grouo is working on a series of pictures which will be entitled Saturday Afternoon in Poly. Another group is working on a series entitled Fort Worth Park System. Many of these scenes are snapped as opportunity occurs, but field excursions which have been carefully planned and routed are neces- sary for the successful completion of any series. First Row: I. G.

' s WORDS, FROM THE STAFF As representative of the Senior Class of 1938, We, the annual staff have worked hard in attempting to present to the students of Poly High School a book which they will keep and of which they will be proud. We hope our labors have not been in vain. We Wish to express our gratitude to all students Who have co-operated With us in mak- ing this book a success. Without the help of Mr. Moore and the faculty this annual would have been Without the assistance of a Worthy group of advisors. Mr. Weaver did some fine work on our silk-screening table. Without such splendid efforts the annual would have lacked much. For the fine co-operation We received from Mrs. Fritz and the art department We extend our appreciation. Special recognition should be given to Gene Munn, Mildred Kuhlman, Mary lane Lewallen, Dorothy lo Pollard, Paul Wilkerson, Lela Harris, Maurine Mahaffey, Margie Baker, Preston Thompson, Leonard Fitzgerald, Betty Ann Sproles, Roy McCollum, Roby Adams, and loe Milrany. These people ably assisted the art staff in the making of the models for the subtitles and in the silk-screening of all division pages, both in the cutting of stencils and in the printing of the pages. Mr. Crowe of Stafford Engraving Company has given unselfishly of his valuable time, supplementing our efforts with his professional experience. Little more can be said about the fine photography of Mr. Orgain. We find evidences of his good Work throughout the book. The entire staff of Babcock Printing Company has worked long hours in making this a book of which you may be proud. We wish to thank our gracious advertisers for their co-operation. For the help of our sponsor we are deeply indebted. Miss Maurine Martel, more than any other one factor, is responsible for the work which has been done. There are evidences of her efforts on every page. To her we say many thanks for a job Well done. LETTERS FROM R. O. T. C. SECTION fcfmu fftf fd from page eigbtyj FORT WORTH HIGH SCHOOLS April 4, 1938 TO WI-IOM IT MAY CONCERN: lt is with pleasure that I am offered this opportunity to commend the Corps at Polytechnic High School for improvement in their training under the able and efficient leadership of Captain Sutton, with the fine cooperation of Mr. Moore. The R. O. T. C. is constantly contributing to the development of the constituent qualities of dy- namic character, the sense of personal responsibility, the spirit cf obedience as he activating sub- stance of purposeful cooperation, the inspiration and valuation rf leadership in human affairs, and the recognition ct the place cf order and organization in socefv. May the Corps at Polytechnic High School always keen the words cf the above paragraph before them in their school days and later in their walk thrngh llfe, and in doing so they will become better citizens. A. S. BOYD, Lieut. Colonel, Infantry, PMSGT. POLYTECHNIC HIGH SCHOOL April 4, 1938 Polytechnic High School R. O. T. C.: As we approach the close of this first semester in the new Polytechnic High School building it is a pleasure for me to say that the R. O. T. C. has been a very important part in the program of getting lined up under our new circumstances. You fell in line when it became time to work under difficulties and didn't even let me know that you were without a place for parade. There has been the miniznum amount of complaints from anyone in the department. Such a spirit in times of stress is very valuable o the leader of any organization. The R. O. T. C. has always been a true' and loyal unit of this organization and I am looking forward to greater services as time goes on. I have never called upon the corps for assistance but that it was gladly given. I recall paricularly the time when the corps assisted me in the used toy drive. If my memory fails me not the corps turn ed out on a bad rainy day and put pver the drive in a very gratifying manner. That spirit I feel is typical of AR. O. T. C.
