C. at Polytechnic completed a suc- cessful year in every respect-military, athletic. and social. The Federal Inspection was held March 23 in Sycamore Park for the entire Fort Worth R. O. T. C. One of the most efficient, patriotic. loyal cadets that ever attended Poly, Cadet Col. William I. Chilcoat. was placed in command of all units of the Fort Worth R. O. T. C. Col. E. A. Keyes. Civilian Components Officers of the Eighth Corps Area, was the inspecting officer, and pinned the Cadet Col. insignia on Chilcoat. before the review began. However, Cadet Col. Chilcoat was to receive an even greater honor: Principal I. P. Moore presented the cadet commander with the Dis- tinguished Service Trophy from the school for being a superior cadet and an excellent student. The Polytechnic student body was dismissed from school to witness the presentation oi the trophy and the review. Before the Inspection Cadet Maior Iack L. Morton. executive officer of the battalion, was attached to the regi- mental staff. and Cadet Captain Luther L. Marshall was promoted to Cadet Maior and placed in command of Poly's battalion. Cadet lst. Lieut. Ralph G. Carter was promoted to Cadet Captain and took command of A Company. Polytechnic's battalion was assigned a large and important part of the inspection. After the review and inspec- tion in ranks the unit marched to Burchill Hill to go through a combat problem. Col. Keyes was well impressed by the vigor and efficiency with which the problem was executed. He commented that it was executed better than some much more experienced soldiers whom he had seen do it. The battalion then returned to the park and put on a Pugl' liigbly-one STAFF COLONEL William I. Chilcoat MAIOR Luther I. Marshall STAFF SERGEANT Gerald G. Phillips COMPANY E CAPTAIN Ralph G.

The inspecting oificer was also very favorably impressed with this part of the inspection and remarked, They surely know it. The pair of field radio telephones, operated by Cadet Corp. George W. White and other cadets, provided a quick and easy means oi communication throughout the inspection. Col. Keyes said that he was very glad to see the cadets themselves operating the walky-talkies. The three cadet companies of Poly, E. F, G, were redesignated in February as companies A, B, and C of the Second Regiment. This was quite a change since E company had been at Poly for sixteen years. and the other companies almost that length of time. The last company commanders of E. F. and G. at Poly and the first to command the new companies were Cadet Capt. Luther L. Marshall, Company E: Cadet Capt. Iames B. Eldridge, Company F: Cadet Capt. William H. Polk, Company G. Poly's rifle team placed third in the city in the Eighth Corp Area match. The Corps Area Team made an im- provement of 112 points over the score of last year's team. This improvement won Lieut. Col. Whitson's commenda- tion. Cadet Captain William H. Polk was high-man on the Corps Area team and received the medal. Cadet 2nd. Lieut. Barney E. Watson fired the highest score on the Hearst team, Cadet Mai. Luther L. Marshall was second, and Cadet Capt. William H. Polk third. However, the medal was awarded to Cadet Pvt. lst. Class Lester R. Legget, since Cadet Lieut. Watson and the others were previous medal winners. Page Eigbly-Iwo STAFF MAIOR Iack L. Morton STAFF SERGEANT Virgil I. Almand COMPANY F CAPTAIN Iames B.

Director of Marksmanship for the Poly Cadet Corps. Cadet Olficers were ineligible tor this match. F Company was the winner with Cadet Pvt. William H. Hard oi that unit being the high-man ol the match. Company B. commanded by Cadet Capt. Iames B. Eldridge. was designated as the color company tor the battalion. During the iall term, a football tournament was played between the three cadet companies. One company played three games with each ot the other two. Cadet Sgt. Robert F. Wenzel and Cadet Znd. Lieut. Travis M. Greenwood were co-captains of Company G, the winning team. E Company's team which was led by Cadet Mai. lack L. Morton took second place. and F Company's team placed third. G Company's winning team was challenged by the Poly R. O. T. C. Band and retained its championship. Companies E and F gave a Corps party tor the victor in the grid- iron contest. An unusually great interest in boxing developed in the Poly Corps this year and most ol the cadets entered the spring boxing matches. During the last year all athletic activities of Poly's R. O. T. C. were conducted by Cadet Capt. Ralph G. Carter. the Athletic Ollicer ol the battalion. ln Iune of 1938 the cadets ol Poly attending Camp Dallas were put in H Company with the cadets from Paschal.

Besides the numerous entertainments given by each company and the band. a party was given in the Poly gym and armory for all the R. O. T. C. of Fort Worth. The Officer's Club entertained its members. the sponsors. and Capt. William I. Sutton at a luncheon during the spring term. In December. Capt. William I. Sutton, commandant of cadets. launched the R. O. T. C. at Poly on a Christmas card selling campaign. The purpose of this was to create a fund for Poly's Corps to be used for various items of equipment. entertainments. bills. etc., that would otherwise be impossible to have. This plan proved to be one of the most successful accomplishments of the Corps. Cadet Pvt. Gordon H. Hargett sold the greatest number of cards and received a prize of a wallet from Capt. Sutton. Two assembly programs were presented to the student body by the cadets. In November an Armistice Program was presented under the direction of Capt. Sutton. This was truly one of the most outstanding programs ol the year. It was a pageant depicting the scenes ot the World War. The other program was in a ligher mood. Nick Stuart and his orchestra from Hotel Texas was presented to the students in a sparkling program of swing tunes. On October 26. the cadets of Poly High showed their love for our principal in forming a standing honor guard at the funeral of his father. Mr. M. H. Moore. They stood at attention on either side of the halls and steps of Paschal High School as the body was borne to the hearse. Then following the hearse to the grave 'at Bedford they arranged themselves in military formation and stood with bared heads throughout the remainder ol the services. Mr. M. H. Page Eigbly-lou!

Baker 0 0 0 Moore is remembered as a much loved former superintendent of the Fort Worth Public Schools. and it was with respect that the cadets of' Poly High extended this courtesy to him and his family. During the year's training schedule. there was a distinct difference between cadets ot Poly and other schools, the training ol every cadet to use his own initiative. An excellent reason can be iound lor this. At Poly the cadets handle their own affairs, render the reports and rosters. command the companies. and conduct the tall program under the supervision ol the commandant. This develops to the maximum individual initiative. leadership. command. and efficiency which is the chiel mission in the Poly Corps. Miss Balthrop: I thoroughly enioyed every minute. and I think the boys are a fine lot. Mr. Moore: The R. O. T. C.. as usual. has made outstanding contributions to the life of the school which is appreciated by your principal.

Quite a few, but the All City Band made them all during the lall term. including two trips to Dallas, a trip to Lubbock with the Masons, and a third trip to Dallas to attend the Cotton Bowl game with forty other high school bands. The Poly band was well represented in the All City organization by eighteen members. At midterm the Poly band increased to sixty-five members. This increase oi instrumentation. which included some bass players. made possible a higher quality of music which pleased Col. Crites. The band sponsor lor the year was Lucille Gracy. She made a hit with the band by giving a number ol socials. going to most ol the band engagements. and teaching the band boys to dance. The officers ior the past year were: First Lieutenant Clyde Kay. Second Lieutenant Walter Morris. and Sgt. Clyde Marshall. Page Eiglxtv-riglml M411 I H55 Aff M 4 is If W N X :f x N 11 , .

Recognition should be given to A these last mentioned members of the squad, for they worked faithfully tor the betterment of the team, co- operating in every way. Coach Charles M. Berry was coach at William Iames Junior High School for six years. Then in the fall of 1935. he came to Poly as assistant to Coach Scarborough. Since that time he has trained 1 ' the track teams. He is able to . ' ' ' give the lads encouragement so that they leel they're sure to win. I The students and teachers like his attitude toward games and sports meets. and he has become a great favorite among them. HEAD COACH LUTHER SCARBOROUGH Luther T. Scarborough has been head oi the Polytechnic Athletic Department since 1935. A graduate of T. C. U., he was an all con- I- A ference tackle in 1926. All of his boys regard him as a friend and 5,0 H I z z adviser. His tootball and basketball teams have always shown a fight 'till the end spirit, which may be attributed to his fine coach- 'fi ' ing. Although he teaches only boys' gym classes, he is known to everyone in the school as a pal. The students and the faculty of Poly ' ASSISTANT COACH CHARLES BERRY .thi are proud that their head coach is Coach Scarborough. IOHNNY HUNTER Back Captain Iohnny Hunter. brilliant halt-back and three year letterman, led his team through an event- ful season oi football. Again this year Iohnny was placed on the final all-disrict team. Here, Iohnny was elected Poly's most valuable player by his own team, and Mr. Moore presented him the coveted an- nual trophy. Beginning with the team as an end, Iohnny was shifted to the backiield, where he really accomplished things. It was hard to part with Johnny: it will be still harder to replace him. kt, BOB HENDERSON Back Bob played a large part of the time, missing only one quarter. He made one or two errors, but is expected to have a large share in next year's gridiron suc- cesses. Page Ninely-one H. L. NICHOLSON Guard Nick played guard and was a regular all year. He was a hard tackler and blocker, and won many friends be- cause of his grand sportsmanship. Nick had a fine season and played well. BOB FANNIN Tackle Fanny proved a very valuable player because of his height. He was hard to block and gave the opposing teams much irritation by reaching over and making a'hard tackle. He is expected to be a regular next year. ,edfdd fists THOMAS DICKSON Tackle . a Tom playeyqltxifle a bit of tlfe Q e, ful- filling just as pectgill' e is regard- one of our best for a tackle posi- tion next year.

Nicholson Alford, Fred Smerke, Fred Smith, Bob Henderson, and Marshall McMahan the guidance of Coaches Scarborough and Berry, became the mainstays eight lettermen re- Iack Garrett, Sam These boys, under of the team. Some of the other boys improved rapidly to step right into the first string lineup. The line was composed of McMahan and Smerke at ends, Lewis and Brown at tackles, Nicholson and Al- ford at guards, and Garrett at center. The backfield included Hunter, Moody, Smith, and Henderson. The reserves were a big factor in the team's success. In the line were Leon Meissner. Arthur LeBlanc, Thomas Pretty Boy Dickson, Cecil Taylor, Ed Walton, and R. O. Woodall. Frank Smith. C. D. Allen, and Bill Smith made up the balance of the reserve strength in the backfield. VERNON The fighting Poly Parrots were defeated by the strong Vernon Lions in their opening game of the season. Although the score was one-sided, the Parrots fought hard all the way. Vernon's first score came in the second quarter on a ball play from Poly's 20-yard line. The combination of Hunter to Smerke was a big threat throughout the game. The half ended with the score 7-0. The second half opened with some brilliant passing on the part of Iohnny Hunter. The Lions intercepted a pass on the Parrot 46-yard line for a touchdown. The extra point was good. With five minutes of play left in the third quarter, Vernon intercepted a pass on their own 14-yard stripe and ran 86 yards for another score. The kick was blocked. The third quarter ended with the score 20-0 in favor of Vernon. Vernon's final score came in the fourth quarter as the result of a fumble by Poly on their own 6-yard line. The line opened a hole for the touchdown. The kick was wide: so the final score was Vernon 26, Poly 0. BORGER The fighting Parrots downed the strong Borger team to the tune of 28-13. Poly's first touchdown came the first time her boys held the ball. On a pass from Hunter to Henderson the pigskin was carried to Borger's 25-yard stripe. Henderson passed to Hunter for 12 yards, putting the ball on the 13-yard line. From here Hunter found Henderson open in the right llat. The latter took the ball on the eight and went over standing up. Garrett missed the extra point. Pagr' Ninelv-I J- CECIL TAYLOR SAM ALFO?

The first quarter ended with the score 6-6. The Orange and Black gained their second touchdown in the opening minutes of the sec- ond quarter. Hunter connected with Smerke for the tally. The extra point was successfully kicked by Iack Garrett. With only five minutes left in the first half, Borger made a 64-yard touchdown. The kick from placement was good. At the end of the first half the score was 13-13. The Parrots came back in the third quarter to fight hard to break the tie. The combina- tion of Hunter to Smerke clicked again for a score. Iack Garrett converted from placement. With five minutes remaining in the third quarter. the Parrots had Borger on their own 2-yard line. A bad pass from center resulted in a safety for Poly. Poly's fourth touchdown came in the last seconds of play. The combination of Hunter to Smerke accounted for another score. Hunter's attempted conversion was blocked. One of the outstanding defensive players for Borger was Bid Sully. The game ended. Poly 28, Borger 13. ARLINGTON HEIGHTS The Parrots turned back the hard fighting Yellow Iackets by a score of 7-U. Poly's score came in the second quarter when Fred Smith galloped 75 yards for the lone tally. Cap- tain Iohnny Hunter converted perfectly for the extra point. Poly's aerial attack was almost stopped by the Iackets. for the Parrots completed only three out of nineteen passes for a total of 45 yards. Outstanding for the Parrots were Fred Smith, Bob Fannin. H. L. Nicholson, Chesley Lewis. and Harold Brown. The Yellow Iackets were a threat all during the game. Newman Cochran kicked well. Outstanding for the Iackets were Scotty Finds. Cochran. Sid Uberman, Louis Heath, and Billy Ratliff. TECH The Poly Parrots began battling early when Iohnny Hunter passed to Fred Smerke for a touchdown. The extra point was missed by Garrett. Poly then kicked off to Tech. After four downs Tech kicked the ball to the 50-yard line. The Parrots then took over. and after passes from Hunter to Smerke and McMahan, the ball rested on the Tech 5-yard stripe. Hunter took the ball over on an off-tackle smash. He also kicked for a successful extra point. The Parrots then led, 13-0. Fred Smith hid out on the La Grave infield, and Hunter passed to him for Poly's third touchdown. The extra point was missed by Hunter. Page Ninety-lbrre P . ,fd FRED SMERKE End Smerke was elected to the all-district team and was a candidate for all-state honors.

The half ended with the score 19-0. The third quarter brought forth a brilliant array of passing and punting from both teams, but the quarter was scoreless. Poly's last touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when Smerke outran Tech's half- back to catch a pass from Hunter for the score. Hunter missed the extra point. For Tech, Matthews was outstanding both on defense and offense. Poly's outstanding players were Hunter, Smerke, McMahan. and Henderson. PASCHAL Before twenty-five thousand people, the Poly Parrots met the Paschal Panthers in a game which proved to be the hardest fought one of the year. Paschal made the first touchdown when Hightower passed to Von Sprecken. who took the ball on the 5-yard line and went over standing up. Hightower kicked the extra point. Poly came back strong to score their first touchdown in the second quarter. .Hunter passed to Smerke, who outran the Paschal secondary. The extra point was missed by Hunter. The two teams made many yards through the other's line, but the half ended with Paschal leading Poly, 7-6. At the opening of the second half the Parrots kicked off to the Panthers. Paschal car- ried the ball deep into Parrot territory. Hightower brought the ball over from the 4-yard line but failed to convert. The Parrots' second touchdown was not made until the middle of the fourth period. al- though they had been in scoring position several times. The Parrots had the ball on the Panthers' 18-yard line. Hunter passed to Smerke on the 1-yard stripe. The latter drove over among a host of would-be tacklers. The crowd went wild when Hunter converted tor the ex- tra point to tie the score 13-13. From then on both teams tried everything to untie the deadlock, but when the time- keeper's gun sounded, the score was still 13-13. A great amount of credit goes to Fred Smerke, who turned in a brilliant game. Also Iohnny Hunter, Bert Moody. Harold Brown, H. L. Nicholson, and Chesley Lewis were out- standing. Pascha1's key men were Hightower and Von Sprecken. Page Ninety-fouf B. D. MOODY FRED SMITH C. D. ALLEN FRANK SMITH BILL SMITH Back 'Bert developed into nost powerful block- ' back.

He played good. hard football all year and was one ot the most sensational runners Poly has pro- duced. I red will he hard to replace. Back Although he is a sophomore, C. D. played enough at the fullback position to let- ter. He is already one ot the fastest high school players in the city. and is expected to be outstanding during Back Frank was a reserve back this year. Little. but full of light. he was a good p ser and a fine runner. Frank has another year ol eligibil- ity and is expected to play good football. Back Bill did not play very much this year but what he played was satisfactory. He showed plenty of school spirit and enthusiasm all the time he was in the game. his remaining two years in school. NORTH SIDE The Poly Parrots held the North Side Steers to a scoreless tie on a muddy La Grave gridiron. As the score indicates. the two teams were evenly matched. the Steers having a slight weight advantage and the Parrots having the best punting. Iohnny Hunter punted 14 times for 481 yards. as against North Side's 12 punts for 264 yards. The game turned into a duel on a sea of mud. Both teams made many yards through the opposite line. The stubborn defensive goal line stands were the highlights of the game. The Parrots held the Steers three times on the goal line. When Fred Smith received a broken collar bone in the first half, C. D. Allen ably car- ried on. BRYAN The Bryan team won over Poly in a thrilling game at La Grave Field. Iohnson, bearing most of the power. was the star player for the Bryan team. The Broncs' first touchdown came in the first quarter on a drive from their own 46-yard line. The try for placement was good. Poly's first touchdown came a few minutes after the score for Bryan. The Broncs kicked off to Poly. and the ball was carried up to the Parrot 25-yard line. Smerke, playing in the backfield. took the pigskin around end to the 45-yard stripe for a first down. A play from scrimmage failed to advance the ball. On the next play Henderson took the ball from Allen on a single reverse and carried it 55 yards for a touchdown. Garret's kick was blocked. The Parrots and the Broncs slashed away at each other during the second quarter, and at the half the score stood 14-14. Both teams came back strong in the second half. Poly's third score came on a running pass from Henderson to Smerke, who carried the ball over standing. The score stood 20-14 in Poly's favor. The extra poi.nt was missed. The Bryan team, taking the ball on the kick-off. drove 80 yards for a touchdown. The kick was good. When the gun ended the game. the score was Bryan 21. Poly 20. MASONS Poly lost to the Masons again this year. having been defeated by them last year. 21-6. The Masonic Home boys scored in the first quarter when Keel threw the ball from the 4- yard line. The try for point was good. Page Ninrty-fire SPRING TRAINING At the end of the first half the Masons led. 13-0. During the entire first quarter Poly did not try a single pass. They tried running plays. which the Masons stopped very success- fully. The Masons then came back and scored twice in the third quarter. One was from Keel to Stringe and the other was made as a series of plays driving down to the goal line. Keel made the touchdown. The last quarter was a real fight 'til the gun. The Masons scored two more touchdowns and kicked the extra points. Keel played outstanding football all evening. The final score was 39-0. RIVERSIDE In the last game of the year Poly was beaten by a narrow margin when Coon kicked a 15-yard field goal to win the game for Riverside. The entire first half went scoreless. for neither team made any progress against the other's defense. The first score came early in the third quarter. when Coon intercepted Iohnny Hunter's pass in the first flat zone and raced fifty-five yards for a touchdown. The extra point was good. Poly's score came early in the first quarter when Hunter passed to Henderson on River- side's 15-yard stripe and he carried the ball over. The extra point. kicked by Hunter. hit the cross bar and bounced over for the point. With two minutes left to play Riverside intercepted a pass on the Parrots' 40-yard line. They then drove the ball down to the 15-yard line. where, with less than a minute left to play. Harold Coon dropped back and kicked a field goal to win the game I0-7.

Raising money for a two weeks' training camp for each year's football team is the club's chief ob- iective. Lettermen from football. basketball, baseball, and track are members of the organi- zation. This year the boys presented a play, Here Comes Charlie, to make money for the expenses of next year's training camp. A number of football games with next year's team were sponsored by the club. In May the season was closed with a picnic for the members. Page Ninely-xewn BASKETBALL SQUAD First Row: L. Smith, I. McClure, D. B. Scroqqins. G. Donaldson. F. Bounds, 0. McClure. G. Brown. L.

He played well. scored con- sistently. and was widely liked by the team and the school. Page Ninety-eight R. O. WOODALL. Guard A scrapper always. Woodall played much of the time. He scored persistently. and was really one oi the team. s FRANK SMITH. Guard Smith is not so large. but one would never know it from his basketball ability. His regular playing and good floor work stood out. When Coach Scarborough blew his whistle for the first oi the basketball tryouts. the call was answered by the following lettermen ol last year: Rene. Wilson. Lohrke. Fannin. Mc- Clure. and Busby. When the other boys reported. everyone noticed how small most oi them were. Almost everybody was surprised at their good playing. Page Ninely-nine IAMES WILSON. Forward Iamie. one ot Poly's best passers and scorers. played with Rone much ol the time. He leit after mid-term graduation. W. A. BUSBY. Forward A regular first stringer. Busby played brilliant basketball all season. His scoring ability made the news. CARI. LOHRKE, Center Lohrke played center all year and did a good iob oi it. He has another year ot eligibility and is expected to lead the team successfully next year. HOWARD TEAGUE. Forward Teague did not play iull time because ot the large number ot excellent players on the Poly team. When he was in, though. he played tirst class basketball. As the training got down to serious business, things began to pick up. Poly won all their games except two with Riverside. The Eagles won all their games, and their defeating the Parrots gave them the two ciy round robins. Midterm graduation took Rone and Wilson. oi the first string. FRANK BOUNDS. Forward Bounds was one of the shortest men on the team, but he could drop the ball in when we most needed the point. His steady periormance meant much to the team. IAMES RONE. Center Where there was Wilson there was Rone. Rone was one ot the most capable men on the squad. specializing in split-second tip- otfs and accurate scoring shots. He too graduated at mid-term. Page One Hundred GORDON DONALDSON. Guard The smallest man on the team, he was also one of the most valuable. Donaldson could steal the ball and make a basket before the other team could see what had happened. BOB FANNIN. Center Bob played his best this year and made many points. He was very useful when tanding under the basket because of his towering six ieet. four inch height. In the tournament Poly defeated Handley 25 to 18, Arlington Heights 23 to 18. But the most important game of the Parrots was with Riverside. The Eagles were strong favorites to win, but the Parrots heat them 21 to 14. Poly had to play them again for the district title. but the Eagles won 19 to 13. Page Uwe Hundred One GORDON BROWN, Guard Brown was in the game about half the time this year. He made several points, and played good ball. with speed and control. IACK MCMAHAN. Guard McMahan, a game little player, put out good basketball all year. He played enough to make his letter. 4 K X ,.,, , if A.W, E, M vkryhr - K Vx f Q A -if A 5 1 f, !Wf' fl? if d '05 J v , M 515' ggqw I X 1 1 Windy leaves the other boys behind in McClure sinks a crip shot one of his favorite shots.

Coach Charles Berry turned out another outstanding Poly track team in 1939, and again it took second place in the city meet, placing more men in this meet than any other school. Led by their captain, Billy Singletary, the Parrots fought Paschal for first place right down to the last event. At its beginning, Poly and Paschal were tied for first place, with 38 points each, but Paschal's team took first honors, setting a new record and winning the city meet. Following Poly in the city meet were Riverside, Arlington Heights, North Side. and Handley. On the day of the district meet, Coach Berry had put his boys in fine shape, and they were leading when the field events came up. Here the Masonic Home boys made most of their points. When the iavelin throw came, Poly and Masonic Home were tied for first place. However, the Masons won the meet by placing first and third in this contest. Again Poly came off with second place.

Today, it has developed into an important sport in our athletic department, and falls in line among our other maior sports. The sponsor and coach of the Poly High teams for the past several years has been Mr. Clyde Brown. During this period, other able assistants have done their part in cooperating with Mr. Brown, and at the present, Miss Matthews and Miss Cecil Owens are training future players through the Physical Education Department. The officers during the fall of '38 and spring of '39 were: Iohnny Higgins, president: Mal- colm Snow, vice president: Dan Withers, secretary: Virginia Thaxton, court manager. The club meets two afternoons a week. Its purposes are to arouse interest in tennis and to im- prove the game of its members through practice. Each year our representatives are selected by elimination for the City High School Tour- nament. This year Poly was represented in the girls' singles by Virginia Echols. girls' doubles by Iune Davis and Mary Alice O'Connell. The boys' team consisted of Bobby Messersmith, singles: Iames Hammett and Iames Moore, doubles. The city tournaments were held on the Sycamore Park clay courts, March 30 and 31. and April 1. Each of these teams reached the finals, with the exception of boys' doubles, who were eliminated by Paschal in the semi-finals. A beautiful bronze trophy was presented to the most outstanding sophomore girl tennis player through the cooperation of Mr. Sam Knight and the Tennis Club, during April.

Part oi the Parrots' disappointing record was due to the loss ol sev- eral of the team's most promising players at the start of the campaign. The team was for- tunate in having an able captain in the person of Preston Thompson. This year the team is smaller in number than ever before, but it is favored to win the championship. The '39 Parrot team has been defeated once in five games and is tied for first place at present with North Side. We hope that as you read this. Poly has another baseball crown on her head. D... rt...

Weaver. They served as substitutes and did a line iob. Everywhere Poly was made known by this lively group of spirit arousers. The outstanding event oi the year was the all-city yell leader meet, in which Poly yell leaders took an active and shining part. Sponsored by Miss Faulkner, the yell leaders were: O. D.

Alice Hawkins was elected the iirst president, George Conner, vice president, and Dolores Nipp secretary. In the archery tournament, spring '38, Poly girls won places in each class: Wynona Smith won second place in class A: Dolores Nipp won first place in class B: Mary Iewell Howell was second in class C. Dolores Nipp had the highest score in the tournament. During the iall of 1938 and the spring of '39, the club worked under the presidency oi Ieannette Norton and Dolores Nipp with George Conner secretary. It was decided during the spring semester of '39 that nine boys and nine girls from each senior high school would be entered into the all-city archery tournament. Poly then participated in a practice tournament with Paschal, sharing honors: Poly's girls and Paschal's boys being victors. This tournament took place April ll. This year's oiiicers were: Dolores Nipp, president: George Conner, secretary. Puge One Hundrrd Ten l First Row: M. N. Foster. M. Ford, I. Hughes, E. Perry, I. B. Hearon, Miss Pipkin, L. Preslar, W.

Marshall THE TEAM SPORTS CLUB This year the name of the Girls' Athletic Association, which was organized in the fall of the year 1933, was changed to the Team Sports Club. It was organized to cultivate interest in active sports and to encourage the participation of large numbers in the seasonal sports rather than to train girls of specialized groups. Its purpose is in cooperation with the Physical Education Department to promote a spirit of democracy, physical and mental efficiency, good sportsmanship, and athletic and social activities. Membership in the club is open to all girls of the school who are interested in active sports. Among the sports that have been enioyed by the members in the past and present are volley ball, basketball, and baseball. During the different seasons the girls enioy games with the other clubs in the city. These games are played from the standpoint of a social rather than a competitive spirit. During the volley ball season the club played one game with North Side. Miss Pipkin was coach for the first semester, but her place was taken at mid-term by Miss Matthews. The girls usually consider the basketball season the most important. They played two games with Paschal, two with Arlington Heights, and three with North Side. Only two games were lost. The baseball season was opened by a game with Arlington Heights. Poly won by a score of 21 to 10. All the girls look forward to the annual picnic in the spring, their one big social event. This year's officers were: Wanda Stanley. president: Iohny B. Hearon, vice president: Iuanita Hughes, secretary.

And besides that they're goocl. lln case the big words got you.l They can produce vocal melody in the Halleluiah Chorus, which is sung at Poly only every third year, that would make you iitterbugs who shy at classical music think you were hearing a tune that would outclass any modern day creation. This is not the only occasion the girls have to sing. They receive numerous invitations irom sources both in and out of the city, and have proved to be one of the most popular glee clubs in Fort Worth. .1 First Row: D. Lewis, M. Stacy, M. K. Parker. I.

There are many good reasons why the high school graduate should take a business course im mediazfely after receiving his diploma. Here are some of them: Q15 If you are trained for business employment and then wish to go to college, you can use your education both to help you with your studies and to pay your expenses in case you need to be self-supporting. Q23 If you do not finish your four-year course in college, you have some- thing to fall back on for self-support. CSD If you finish your university course and cannot find employment in the profession in which you have qualified, you can take a business job. C4j If you follow the profession for which you prepare in college, a knowl- edge in business will help you to make it practical. You will notice that the best lawyers, the best doctors, and best engineers, etc., are all good business men and women. CSD If you do not desire to go to college, you will be able to secure a position and begin your business career as soon as you complete your commer- cial course. A great many educators are saying, FIRST finish high school, NEXT take a business course in a business school, and THEN go to college or go to work. g g BRA TLEY-DR 1 1 H--i l S JJF f faflaqaueaqahefzancewf B T TI L SUCCESS wrap-foakmg Www? Parfum Wwd? WHERE IS OPPORTUNITY? 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 one of the very essential factors. 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 tbozrsmzd business men needed for every doctor, every clergyman, every lawyer, every engineer, and every architect in the community. In 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 first 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 important to be able to make enough money to live well!

WORDS FROM THE STAFF Another book is completed. and we ot the annual stati ieel that it is an accomplishment oi which we can be iustly proud. We hope that students ot Poly have a book that will increase in value throughout the years as a record of their high school days. Thanks should be given to the tollowing people tor their splendid cooperation in the production oi the book: . .. Mr. Moore and the taculty gave us needed encouragement. Miss Agerton painstakingly prooilread the entire book. Help was given in the silk screening process by Mrs. Fritz. Roy McCollum. Cecil Taylor. and Aldon Puddy. Mr. Orgain did an excellent iob oi taking the individual pictures and cooperating with the sta!! photographer. Mr. Holt of Stattord Engraving Co. was responsible tor the engravings. Without the cooperation oi the advertisers we could not have produced so complete a book. And without the skillful management ot Miss Maurine Martel. our sponsor, who worked tirelessly tor the better- ment ot the book. we probably would not have reached the press.
