We called this book our garden. 'Yea so nzis-bounded by a garden wall--silently watched by a lonely Moor who sits by the gate and reads. It is our oriental garden -where you may rest and think, and live and enjoy. 'We have worked earnestly for this little book -have found pleasure in the doing and comfort in the result. For encouragement, we looked to the future, this very moment-when all is fin- ished, and we, glowing with unconeealed pride, lead yorlin to see-has been the bulude of our thousand dreams. And now, dear reader, should you return from this short visit, richer for hav- ing found but one new thought, happier for one nune mnUe,um dudlbe mnuentto honorthat thought and that smile as our priceless reward. l22l IJ Q T is the time-l1onored custom for a W school-paper editor, on such occa- ,.A sions as this, to express some appre- Al ciation of his staff and faculty ad- visers, who, as he acknowledges, have helped so much towards the general success of the publication. This may be perfectly proper, but it strikes us as some- what formal. We mean, it seems a little unnecessary to force 'such a distinction between those who did it and those who helped do it, that it appears rather mercenary to divide with the one the glory, and pay off the other with thanks Therefore, we presume no apprecia- tions. We know that everyone who had an in- terest in this book has borne an equal share of its making, and that he shall wish no other re- turns than the self-satisfaction of having done his work properly. To the members of our Faculty, the students of Polytechnic have dedicated this edition of their Polytechnic Student. We owe nothing less than our greatest mark of respect and devotion to those, our friends, who, during these founda- tion years of our education, have taught us to lay a corner-stone to life. E231 .. . HE Social Center movement, which ,P fl ' PW originated in the desire to make more practical use of the school ta A houses, has spread rapidly over our country, until now many of the school buildings are used as centers for recrea- tion, public meetings, and general social gath- erings. The Polytechnic Social Center has made rapid progress during the past year, and we feel that it should be duly recognized as a factor in bring- ing the people of the community in closer har- mony With the school. The interest manifested in the Various lectures. receptions, and suppers held during the year marks the foothold that such an organization has gained. With the annexation of the Playgoers' Society several months ago came a tide of added en- thusiasm-and the plays presented have been well attended. Such plays as Percy Mackaye's Mater and BroWning's In the Balcony, in- struct as well as interest the public. An attempt has been made to place the better modern drama before the people and to recognize some of the present day playwrights who are not, as yet, widely known. At the same time, the dramatic talent of our city is encouraged. l24l , HE Polytechnic High School of Los L2',f V1 Angeles has added to lier curriculum QQ thirteenth and fourteenth year work px A in sixteen distinct subjects. She is offering the equivalent of the fresh- man and sophomore work as scheduled and re- quired by our state colleges in mathematics, sur- veying, electricity, electrical engineering, chem- istry, chemical engineering, mechanical engineer- ing, advanced physics, geology, mineralogy, home economics, architecture, English, German, His- tory and Sociology. California and Stanford will both honor for entrance all credits given by Polytechnic for six years' Work in any of these courses. Any additional studies supplementary to any course will be recognized as credited. The Commercial course will be enlarged next Febru- ary. These additional two years, making the total of six, will have the same acceptance as in the preceding subjects. The advanced com- mercial work is planned, not only for college en- trance, but also a preparation for teaching in the city grammar and intermediate grades. l2Sl To tlzee Golden -State To thee Oh Colden State I smg to ee Thy splendrd lands for all a welcome o Thy claims to every race thou dost un o Each day brlngs hosts thy wondrous slghts to see When hrst men came upon thy rollrng lea And found thy mountam streams were rrch wrth gold Sweet tales of lastmg summertime they must be And when we hear the roar of mmglmg tl es As first the two mayestrc oceans meet And mllll0nS come from lands both far and wlde Oh keep thy Justice always pure and sweet For thou art hope to many a man whose prlde Is stifled neath some haughty mon arch s feet Dick Morgan in 1, ' h ldg f ldg- ' told ' To those who thought an Eden thou ld I I Fr1encZs7z11S To choose my frlends carefully rather than hastlly to bind them to my lxfe wlth the strong chords of love and sympathy to be truthful with them always to flatter them never to seek then' good characterlstlcs mstead f thenr faults to bear wxth them pa tlently to rejoice nn thenr Joys and gneve at then sorrows to help them ated wrth them that no matter how great the dxstance mtervemng I may feel that all I have to do IS to reach my hand across the sllence and a walt mg hand wrll clasp nt ln the same way as of old thus IS my :deal of frlend s up Marguerite V Brouwer s , s 1 0 ' 0 in their troubles: to be so closely afftli- h' . l . 0 U VSQ MIU 4 Goocloye NVe say Goodbye, an old and simple phrase, And spoken by mankind in countless ways: Some with a carelessness that cannot he denied, Some frankly, some with faces turned aside, Some with a meaning tender, deep and true, lVhich, think you, Alina Mater, we bid you?

He was a quiet boy and perhaps more observ- ant than most boys of five. No one could realize how he enjoyed the companionship of the great forest that was always at hand like a true friend to offer him the solace of its company. In the long afternoons, when cook was too busy to play with him, he would sit at the base of the big tree until he heard the Woof-Woof of his father's auto as it climbed slowly up from the valley. Many and many a time he would think of the mother who had died shortly after he was born. When he went to see his little friend that lived just down the road-he called it 'fvisitin' -he never failed to notice the aifec- tion that the boy 's mother showered upon him. HE little boy, his knees scratched by E551 All the little suggestions of love and care that made up other boys' lives only helped to add to the loneliness of his. Ever since he had been able to walk so far, which was not long, as he was but five, he had wanted to walk to the summit of the mountains that separated the valleys and stretched far into the land of fairies, giants, and gnomes. His father had told him that they lived there and that every night they came along the ridge to hunt and frolic in the forests of No Man's Land. Of course on Sunday it was different, for he knew that when he got up, his father would be waiting for him in the garden. Then would fol- low the games not the least of which was the bear hunt through the marguerite bushes. This was particularly interesting, because when his am'nition was all gone, he would turn to flee from the bear that was growling at his heels. And the hug his father gave him made him think that a real bear had caught him after all. Sunday came but once a week, and the days be- tween were long indeed to Billy. Billy was in love and no one knew, not even he, how hopeless- ly and ideally in love he was. His conception of love represented all that was pure and good in his baby heart. But Billy found that when l1e thought of this Issl thing too long, his eyes became blurred and a funny lump would rise in his throat. Of late he had substituted a dream mother that he had called up from the many fancies suggested by the whispering trees, a dream mother that satis- fied all his yearnings. With her he romped and played in the land of make-believe, not realizing how tragic it all Was. Best of all, he confided in her all his secrets, all the little things that were too private for any one else. Certainly she meant a great deal to Billy, except When he for- got that after all it was only make-believe, and then the lump would rise in his throat. Perhaps could he have understood the utter failure of his father's married life, he would have realized that it was far, far better for him that his mother had not lived. On this afternoon Billy stayed until long after the purple hills had changed to gold and saffron, and the red, red sun had almost sunk before he turned down the trail. As he left he thought he heard voices, but he hurried on, fearing that his father might be waiting for him. Hardly had he left when a couple appeared through the trees, walking toward the spot spot Billy had just left. One was his father, and the other, could Billy have seen her, was the ex- act personification of all his dream fancies, the exact counterpart of his dream motherg E511 Billy comes here often, his father was say- ing, H just as I used to when I was a little chap. I remember coming up the path, and looking out across the purple hills to where the sun was set- ting. I used to think that they were all gold, and some day I would bring it to you. And it has all come true, the other answered hurriedly as she saw his jaw set, except, J ack, the chasm in our lives is now closed forever. We do not forgive enough in this world, Jack, we do not love enough. We do not think of the beauti- ful things-the best things of our lives. Yes, Helen, answered Billy's father, eight years is a long time to remember an un- wise quarrel. You and I and Billy will begin life anew. And :then the two walked slowly down the trail that Billy had just taken, down through the purple and rose-colored rhododendrons past the babbling brook, down to where Billy, uncon- scious of their approach, stood listening to the billing of two wood thrushes at a nearby pool. Startled at their approach he turned quickly. Whether he recognized his father or not he cer- tainly divined that Helen was the dream-mother he had been yearning for and he rushed into her open arms. Of course I want her to stay always 'n al- ways, was Billy's answer to his father's ques- l58l tion. And the forest, faithful companion to Billy 's lovely dreams, nodded assent as the three wandered off down the trail. Down the trail into a life of better things the three went. while the tall poplar stood guard at the head of the Path. -Fay Plotner. To a 'lvater Lily Oh, water lily, fair thou art! Thy creamy petals hide a heart Of gold, as thou glid'st in thy flat green boat On the crest of a Wave in thy wind-swept pond To the moss green shades of the bank beyond, May the world never reach thy seclusion remote! -Sylvia Moore. E591 V51 thro mbi L 1 H' 7 HERE Winds the dusty highway South, There sang an Indian lad His people 's age-old melodies, In soft tones, low and sad. And many a Weary traveller, Enchanted by his song, Paused 'neath the sheltering pepper-trees, And listening, lingered long. It seemed to them an angel's voice, Sent down from heaven above, To bring a message to the world Of happiness and love: For when the sadness left his tones, Love rang so sweet and clear That joy reigned in the hearts of those, VVho, passing, stayed to hear. And soon the story spread abroad Reached Don Antonio. He asked the old and Worthy priest, Good Father Onigo: E601 61 What is this tale that goes around, Who is this Indian boy, VVho sings beside the dusty road Such songs of love and joy? The Padre raised aloft his hands, So sweet a voice, he said, Was never meant for pagan song But hymns of praise instead. The Don sought out the Indian lad Gave him a Spanish name, S 9 Took him into his Spanish home- He seemed no more the same. Attired now in Spanish garb, He learned the Spanish ways, Instead of savage Indian songs, He sang the hymns of praise. And so the years passed slowly by, The lad grew into youth. The bravest gallant in the land, A cavalier, in sooth. The old Don loved him as a son, Carlos, his greatest pride, Who, grateful and obedient, Was ever at his side. And Carlos dwelt with him in peace, Until, like sudden fire, There flamed within his tranquil breast A growing, wild desire. Felipa, Don Antonio's child, Flashed from her great dark eyes A glance, and in his heart the youth Felt savage passion rise. The pale moon shed her softened light Among the pepper-trees, VVhose flowing branches, drooping low, Waved in the fragrant breeze. He could not sing a Spanish lay, Love carried him along, And to his trembling lips there rose A pleading Indian song'. The moonlight fell across her face, He saw its tenderness, And as she breathed a gentle sigh, He bent with fond caress. Slowly he sought her yielding hands, Murmured, Felipa, low, And, gazing deep into her eyes, Read all he longed to know. He clasped her to his beating heart, He brushed aside her hair, Pressed kisses on her parting lips, And let them linger there. But as he held her in his arms, They heard the Don's voice cry. What means this? Stop!-You Indian dog! Release her, or you die. HWIIO are you, that you dare to Woo The daughter of a Don? An Indian who sang in rags Beside the road. Be gone! UGO! let me never hear your voice Nor see again your face, Go forth and seek your people now, Live with your savage race. And you, Felipa, answer me, NVhat have you left of pride? I tell you that tomorrow morn You'l1 be Rodrigo's bride. Into the night the Indian youth Despairing, sadly turned, ' Joy snatched away by that same hand That made, yet ruthless spurned. The sun upon the morroW's morn Rose gladly, clear and bright, But in the sorrowing Indian 's heart No sunrise shed its light. The bride before the altar stood, Her cheek was Wan and pale, And burning tears fell silently Beneath the flowing Veil. But hark! A plaintive Indian song! She turned her head to hear, And soft and sweet her 1oVer's voice Came to her listening ear. A joyful cry burst from her lips, He stood there tall and proud, A rising murmur of surprise Ran through the gathered crowd. He caught the fair bride in his arms, Kissed her, and raised his head- A knife flashed in the old Don's hand The Indian youth fell dead. The bridegroom raised the fainting b 5 ri He called to her, in Vain, That faithful heart was now beyond All happiness or pain. de, E64 In some forgotten grave they lie- For Spanish days are past- The Indian and the dark-eyed maid, In death his bride at last. But many a traveller, passing late The mission's ruins old, Hears sweet and clear the Indian's voice, And then this tale is told. And when they see some unknown grave, They pause, and gently say, Perhaps this very grave is theirs, And, reverent, go their way. --Margaret R. Richter. To an Ant1'que Tafnfe Oh, bit of old mahogany, Thou table made long years ago, IVhose hands with care thy lines did trace? VVhat faces gay of belle and beau Hast mirrored in thy polished top? What bowl of merry punch did owe Its resting to thy surface red, AS scraped the fiddler's frisky bow And dancers moved with stately tread? 651 The mystery of thy greater age To us is like an unturned page. -Katharine Kirkpatrick Wta we QE H ROM the very day of her birth, Flor- ence Helene had every prospect of I I becoming a model child. Her e Q mother had determined upon a stan- dard of nothing short of perfection for her first born, and, in order to obtain her ideal, she had adopted a most rigid system of conduct for the little one. Florence Helene was not to be allowed any of the indulgences which spoiled the pampered children of less particular parents. In order that she might be properly disciplined from the beginning, she was not to be taken up when she cried. She was to be fed at stated intervals, and on no account was her fast to be broken at other times. Rocking was detrimental to an infant's digestion, therefore it was barred from Florence Helene's daily routine. Above all, the govern- ment of Florence Helene was to disprove the old adage, Spare the rod, spoil the child? She was to be controlled by reason only. All this might have developed the most desir- able human characteristics and made her a model of perfection had not Florence Helene her- self possessed an innate opposition to all the sys- l66l I 1 tematic arrangements for her own betterment From the very first she strenuously resisted the efforts of her well meaning parent. She abso- lutely refused to be lured into slumber by any other means than soothing movements backward and forward. She would not eat when nourish- ment was offered her, but immediately after the food had been removed, she would set up a lusty hungry howl. As she grew older, her objections to well laid plans of conduct increased. The days were full of struggles when Florence Helene would match her natural desires and inherited obstinacy against her mother's firm convictions and equal- ly tenacious spirit. The conflict would begin in the morning with Florence Helene's insisting Upon appearing downstairs in her night clothes. It would continue to the breakfast table, where she would demand poached instead of boiled eggs, and so on through the hours of light until darkness came when Florence Helene, mentally and physically fatigued, would unwillingly fall 'CO sleep, still wearily informing her mother that she di'n want to go to bed. VVhen Florence Helene was three years old, luurrnother began to reahze that Hzxvas rather a difficult task to bring a child up on stringent theories and moral suasion. Frequently she was tempted to use her mother's old time aid, cor- P01111 punishmentg then the force of her convic- E671 tions would return and she would laboriously continue attempting to impress the child mind with its wrong doing by means of words. However, Florence Helene 's grandmother thought she detected a sign of weakening in her daughter, when one afternoon, during the short uncertain period of her g1'andchild's nap, Flor- ence He1ene's mother opened a discussion of the tabooed subject by remarking, Mother, how did you ever manage five? WVe must have been angels. The grandmother smiled. Angels? Hardly, Ellen. Florence Helene doesn't inherit all her stubbornness from her father. She gets it from me then, I suppose. Well, maybe, but I'm sure I cou1dn't have been so trou- blesome as she is sometimes. It is tiresome to be constantly at war with the child, but she must learn to obey me. Of course, Ellen's mother agreed, but when one has live, it is not always convenient to argue every detail of conduct with each one of them, especially when they are too young to comprehend anything but physical punish- ment. That's just it. I want Florence Helene to comprehend the moral punishment rather than the physical. It's only a matter of training. I am not discouraged about the child. She is be- ginning to understand. Now, today, I made her 77 l68l lie down and take her nap without being rocked. Surely a victory for us who spare the rod. Sh-sh. There she is now. It can't be. Why, she just went to sleep a few minutes ago. Yes, dear, mother's down- stairs. Come down. The crying at the head of the stairs formed it- self into a wail of Want mudder come get Fowencef' No, mother is busy now. Florence can come down herself. The wails increased in volume and a soft thud proclaimed the precipitation of a small body on the floor. Fowence can't come down. Want mudder come bring her. I tell you mother cannot come. Florence must come herself. Ellen's mother leaned back with an amused expression on her face. Two pink spots appeared on Ellen's cheeks and her 11pS were tightly compressed. Florence, she called sternly, come downstairs at once. Want mudder bring Fowencef' The tones were full of tears. You know what I should do in such a case, ventured Ellen's mother. Yes, answered Ellen as fiercely as she. dared, but she shall not be whipped. She will come down herself. You shall see how I'll conquer her with kindness. Then again she called in cool tones to the child, Florence, mother's in I69l the sitting room with grandmother. Come down, like a good girl. An angry howl greeted these words. FoWence can'tg Eowence won'tg mudder must get Fowencef' VVhy, she runs up and down those steps a dozen times a day. I know it. It's an obstinate idea. I am not going to pay any more attention. For several moments the two women sat rig- idly listening to the calls and cries of rage emanating from above. Mother, I tell you she will give in. Ellen's mother settled back in her chair with a sigh. while Ellen went on with her work, trying to appear unconcerned. Meanwhile, the lamentations at the top of the stairs had gone up and down the scale of grief and anger. Suddenly they ceased. An expres- sion of rclict' crossed the grandmother's face aS soft steps were heard on the topmost stairs. The mother looked up and smiled. The step paused on the stair. The women below waited in sil- enccg then the pattering was heard, coming lower and lower. Each time Ellen glanced tri- umphantly at her mother. What a vindication of her convictions and victory for moral suasion. The little one had reached the bottom landing of the stairs and Ellen was just about to turn and extend welcoming arms, when almost before the astonished grandmother could comprehend U01 the act, the steps were heard ascending and a. loud voice cried in angry vigor, Mudder is too dere. Mudder ain' gone. VVant mudder come bring Fowence down. Ellen looked at her mother hopelessly. She was oh, so tired. The crying and struggling had made her nervous. Involuntarily her fingers 21'3Sp0d an object on the table,--a small Wooden ruler. For an instant Ellen gazed abstractedly Ht' 'Che article in her hand. Then her face lighted with resolution. She suddenly called sternly, 66 l I Florence, mother IS coming.

Once when I was such a traveler, once when :uhad retreated to such a resting place, and had r rendered myself to Queen Mab, I had a dream Sa reverie. I fxgjin I seemed to labor over all the road which 1 . da but that day traveled.

The Way was strange, S ee I P, I'0ugl1. I stu1nbled and fell to my knees 731 ' V Y 7 A-A W 1 . . Q . . U 9 ... -on the very edge of a yawning, hungry chasm. Far, far below ran a river. A gray, dark, black river. It wound and wound, and glided in and out, stretching forever forward, and as it ilowed I followed with my eye, followed through caverns measureless to man, down to a sunless sea. This, then, was my first obstacle. It thwarted thc road, apparently an impassable barrier. Should I discourage? Should I turn back? Should I give up the climb? But sud- denly, I know not how, I was across, the cavern lay behind, the road, ahead. Then I climbed on, and up, and up, and there the road divided--half running to the right, half to the left, half up over the rocks, half descend- ing into a grassy walk. I was tired, and I chose the smoother road. It led down, slowly down, under trees and banks, all was pleasant for a while-then came to an end. The path stopped short against a solid wall. I sighed. Must I, then, climb back up this tempting lane and take once more to that awful road? Again the place was changed. The old way stretched ahead. Presently I came up with strangers, fellow travelers, who talked of dangers yet to come, and advised me to keep their com- pany. This I did for a time, but somehow they walked so ill, or else so good and yet so slow, that I broke apart and went on alone. Nor had I gone far, when it seemed to grow dark, night l74l mustsoon come. I hurried faster, and at last, when sight was almost useless, came upon a low house near the road, before which sat the keeper. H0 bade me welcome, told me it was a good day 'S Journey, and was about to show me in, when, 'WVhat do they call this road, I asked, and where does it end? This is Life. It ends- The dream snapped like an overdrawn thread. I started and awoke. The sun had gone, the stars were coming. I snatched my hat, ran back up the path, turned into the main road, and hur- 1'1ed on towards the village, where I searched out an inn. I found the cheerful host sitting before, Pffacefully smoking his pipe, and receiving a hearty good e'en, was ushered in to a warm meal and a broad hearth. B. T.

The success of school organ- 1Zat1ons depends upon the co-operation of the students. The experience obtained through work 111 these organizations is invaluable. thThe school organizations naturally divide 1. emsclves into four classesg executive, iinancial, lterary, and musical, each serving as a compo- nent Part of a complete education. Through the Qlecutive organizations we are taught the prin- Elplfis of impartial government. The financial t1?d1GS teach responsibility. In the literary and 9 musical organizations we cultivate the social Phase of life which, though different from the other two, is as important. I771 I Q i A U . HE Associated Student Body Or- V E ganizations have completed their ' fourth year. The A. S. B. 0. was Th A formed for the purpose of bringing the various organiaztions into closer relationship. Realizing the truth in the old adage, that in unity there is strength, the Dresidents of the student activities have, in the past, solved many problems of vital importance t0 the welfare of the school. At the regular meetings of the A. S. B. C. each president from the various organizations submits a report of the W0l'k Of his committee. In this way each organi- zation co-operates with the other student body activities. The duty of the president of the A. S.

The advisory con- Slsts of the entire self government committee. gluestions of special importance are discussed in -G council section, while the executive has direct supervision over all matters of discipline. 9181219 boys' committee consists of a president, re C ed by the student body, together with eight 10 Phesentatives elected from each year.

The course includes the study of Stenography, Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, Com- mercial Law, Commercial Geography, and Ap- plied Office Practice. Those taking the applied office work are taught the use of the dictagraph, the mechanical calculator, and in fact, all of the modern appliances that are in the well-equipped office. l1141 D0m6Sf7.C Economics t In the sewing department the girls learn how 02 make their own clothing and millinery. Most the work done inthe ninth, tenth, and eleventh Y 931' Classes is the designing and making, cleans- ing, renovating and repairing of clothing. Some talmy work is done. Millinery is taught in the Welfth grade classes. In 'Che cookery department the girls are given a knowledge of the composition and preparation Of foods, their uses to the body from a nutritive and economical standpoint. Emphasis is placed l n- OP Sanitation, marketing, invalid cookery, p a nmg of menus, and the giving of luncheons and dinners.

The novel, are S1f0I't-story, the essay, the drama, and poetry e glven careful study. F1153 Gymnasium The gymnasium work is required of every pupil unless he is excused at the request of a physician. Every opportunity is given the stu- dents to act upon their own responsibility, thus helping to cultivate true judgment and self re- liance. The interest of the students is enlisted wherever possible in the administration of the activities. One of the distinctive features of the work is that the classes, both for girls and boys, are so arranged that one of the two required periods is outside work, this combining the disciplinary ef- fects of the gymnasium with the benefits of the open air and sun. H rlstory Polytechnic is one of the best equipped schools in the state for the instruction in all the branches of history. Excellent library facilities aug- mented by a special card bibliography in Euro- pean and in American history are at the dis- posal of the student. The history department offers a four years' course which includes An- cient, European, English, and American history together with civics, sociology and economics. She is one of the few schools that offer regular work in economics. Thirteenth year work that will take up the study of the history of the coun- tries bordering on the Pacific Ocean is being planned for next term. luel .Alatlzematrcs thglge course in mathematics includes not only yearsfigular college preparatory work but a two The 1 course in college mathematics as well. in thg101l11d covered 1S the same as that covered Ame?

The following il- lustrations will show the practical side of the work covered: special tool and lathe drawings for the machine shops, furniture drawings for the wood shops, numerous machine details for pattern shops and forge, and a number of out- side commercial jobs in which special designing was done. Modern Languages The work of the French classes has been con- siderably augmented this year by the organizaf tion of the French Club, at the meetings of which French only is spoken. The German department is endeavoring to train the students in the practical every day use of the language. Interest in the subject is in- tensified by the Work of the German Club. In the past year a B-13 class of German has been organized so that students have an opportunity of taking beginning college work. lnsl .M usic 0143129 chief aim of the music department is. tio 1?

SeEtha1k.GSpea1'e's Two Gentlemen of Verona, pre- un ef fn January by the Dramatic Club, was an deqllaliied success. All members of the club SGTVG credit for their eiforts to make-it good. H251 ik, The German Club presented Minna von Barn- helm in February, and too much cannot be said IH commendation of the production. Irl Brett 3S'Major von Tellheim and Esther Norbcrg as Mlnna von Barnlielm did credit to their parts. Thomas Reynolds was excellent, both as Just, tllff Major's servant, and as Riccant de la Mar- lfnlere, the Frenchman, Helen Rockwell fas- Clnated us in her role of maid to the heroine. The Royal Peddler, at comic opera given by the BOYS' and the Girls' eiee oiubs, scored a big success. The title role was taken in masterly feshmn by Norman Mcrhaii. Faith Guy made 2 most gracious Princess and Katharine San- 1 Om, a most beautiful attendant. Robert Cheat- glm played as the debonair friend to the Prince. Ollrnell Tunison and Sarah Crosby, as King and lfourt Chaperone respectively, furnished the lllmor. The Flutter Little Bird dance and Sens by Alice Goldsmith, Hope Nash, Don Cam- 01'0I1.' and Dick Morgan was an especially at- t1'act1ve feature. Clyde Fitch 's bright comedy, Captain J inks S the Horse Marines, was presented by the Tamatics Club early in J une. This production 00ntrasted pleasantly with last term's heavier Shakespearean offering, and the members of the fcfless showed splendid versatility in their ability til manage either kind of role. Don Cameron, as -le gracious captain, could not have beenim- I1271 P1'oved upon. Eunice Arnez made a most ador- able Mme. Trentonig and we were not surprised that everyone was bewitched by her, Charles La Martine CHerbert Brownb and Augustus Van Vorkenburg CWViley SoRelleD, among the rest. Dlflk Morgan as Prof. Delliarti entered into the S131I'if of the role as only he can, Hope Nash made a most vivacious and entertaining Mrs. Greenboroughg and Irl Brett, as the newsboy be- fflended by Mme. Trentoni did some excellent Work, furnishing wholesome humor. The Junior and Senior Ionian societies have Offered exceptionally good programs this school F6813 giving their usual open Christmas program, and several excellent evening meetings. Under the auspices of the Board of Control, the school has given some excellent entertain- ments. Of the musical programs, that by Harry Clifford Lott, who rendered Kipling's Just So stories in song, was enthusiastically re- Colvedg at another, Ignaz Haroldi, violinist, ren dered some exquisite numbers, Mrs. Ward Tif- fany Sang, accompanied by Mrs. Gertrude Ross, the accomplished pianist. Dr. Paul Pearson Ffflldered Riley's best-liked poems in a most real- lstic manner. Mrs. Marion Craig-Wentworth delighted up with her reading of the play, Cyrapo de Bergerac.

'X A New buildings, new pupils, and new 5. A 4 teachers have helped to make this change. No longer can the fresh- fllen and juniors boast of friendships with the illustrious members of her first alumni ranks. For the past several years the graduating Classes have grown so large that to keep in touch with the individual seems impossible. From Cach term's class an ever increasing number has returned to take up post graduate work. In fact, So great has been the demand for advanced Vf'01'k since the new six-year course was estab- lished that different accommodations have Seemed necessary. At the beginning of the Feb- ruary term of 1912 two post graduate classrooms were formed. Polytechnic is represented by its g Several of tl1e large recognized colleges: Ar- mour Institute, Bryn Mawr, California, Colum- bia Cornell Colorado School of Mines, Iowa Agricultural College, Massachusetts Institute of raduates i11 I1311 A Technology, Michigan, Occidental, Oregon Agri- cultural College, Pomona, Pratt Institute, Stan- ford, Troy Polytechnic, New York, University of Southern California, University of Utah and University of Washington. Recently we have heard interesting accounts of Isabel Smith who is attending Bryn Mawr, P. E. Yoakum, Cornell, and Percy Walker, W '09, University of Nevada. Several Polytechnic graduates are teaching in the public schools. Mildred Baer, S '09, is a teacher in the Belvedere grade schools. Marie Clark, S '10, is teaching Drawing and Music in the Venice City Schools. Ellen Dalton, W '09, is teaching in one of the suburban schools. Wini- fred Kellogg, S '07, is a teacher in Seattle, Wash- ington. Miss Grace Sutherland, president of the S '04 class, is secretary to our principal. Mrs. Mae Carvell, vice president of W '01, is assist- ing Mr. Dunn. Several of the boys have inter- ested themselves in the legal profession. Mundel Silverberg, W '04, after graduating and taking a course at Harvard Law School, has been admitted to the bar, and Rollin Kerns, S '04, Frank and Charles Richards, W '05, are practising in this city, as is also Afue McDowell, S '08, who recently graduated from a law course in Washington, D. C. Many of the alumni who have not continued in school work are making a great success in the l132l business world. Manford Meyberg, S '04, is the general manager of the Germain Seed Company. Everett Charlton, S '07, is with one of the large mercantile houses of Los Angeles. Lucien Baer, S '11, and Earl Beutgen, a former president of the Junior Ionian, are in the real estate busi- Hess. Howard Bullen, W '09, is in the employ of the Santa Fe Freight Department. Hans Koebig, S '10, is manager of the Pico Heights Lumber Company. William Cuzner, S '11, is Working with his father in the Kerchoff-Cuzner Lumber Yards in Pasadena. Herbert Walker, S '11, is engaged in the retail grocery business. Clarence Manning is coaching for the Univer- Slfy of Southern California. Charles Kierulif, S '11, is with the Westinghouse Electric Works 111 Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Ivan B. Wright, S '09, is employed by the Llewellyn Iron Works 111 Seattle. A But although the alumni members are sep- arated, they are brought in touch with their Alma Mater through the Alumni Association. Each year the iniiuence of this organization is more far reaching, as the members of the Sum- mer Class of Nineteen Twelve take their places with the Alumni, they will value the organiza- t10I1 as a link that binds them more closely to their school, which, although they have left it, they can always own. - llssl IEE e lf ,L ,, , OROTHY'S book slipped to the grass l 9 as she gazed idly down on the Village J at the foot of the hill. Not a soul M was in sight and the little Spanish hamlet seemed deserted, but just as Ill-Br eyes were closing to the drowsy tinkle of the llttle fountain playing in the hotel garden, she 'faught a fleeting glimpse of a grotesque figure ffflmlllg up the path. Although she had become Somewhat accustomed to the quaint costumes of U10 peasants, the garb of this man, toiling slowly UP U16 hill, puzzled her. He wore a long black Sack covered with cabalistic signs, reminiscent rather of the magicians that haunt fairy tales than Of anything modern, but what was still Hl0re strange was that he had turned in at the gate and was walking up to her unhcsitatingly. h id speaking in w Pardon me, madame, e sa , lillglish with only a slight foreign accent, but Could you tell me where I might find Miss Dor- othy lVyndhan'1?

My name is Kasi- mirg I am a Moor by birth. At an early age I was sent to England to receive my education. Wliile there I read in a manuscript of a strange machine that could travel over time. When I returned to my native land I consulted our books of wisdom. After many failures I have at last succeeded in inventing a machine that will travel into the past one year and into the future in- definitely. The stars have told me that an American of your name should be the first to ride in it, except, of course, myself, so if you have no fear and will come with me, you shall ride as you choose, into the past or the future. Come. Some unknown force compelled Dorothy to follow Kasimir down the hill into a tiny cave, half hidden by a dense thicket. In the cave was a machine that resembled an airship. Dorothy climbed into the only seat on the car, for it was necessary that she make the trip alone, and, ac- cording to instructions of the Moor, she placed the indicator at Past--one year. On opening the throttle she was off with the warning, Tell no one of the machine, or I, Kasimir, am ruined, ringing in her ears. Swiftly she passed back over the months since her commencement, but suddenly the ma- chine stopped with a jerk before a large White building. It was the Polytechnic High School! l136l S110 sprang out of the machine and ran up the SJEGPS- Once inside she was greeted by a group Of her classmates. fHYmMbnWmuqgDmgmwhhdmemnmt Pe1'10d, called a familiar voice.

Again Dorothy Went to the Hweeny bake, the Senior B Senior A Party, the Staff party, the picnic, and finally the banquet. The morning after the banquet, Dorothy couldn't resist taking her very dear friend Opt to see the Time Machine which was at thc Side of the school. Dorothy began her explana- lf10I1S.

Perhaps the best players among the girls are Eda Secor, Eunice Secor, Hortense Vign0S, and Ella May Mondon, all of whom have been con- testants in the finals of the tournaments. Eda Socor and Carl Shafer were the winners of the U11Xed doubles tournament. Boys, Tenn1's Witliout question, the most successful team tllrned out by Poly this year is the tennis quin- tette, the members of which are Douglas Baker, Harold Blakeslee, Leon Hopkins, Harold Hu- ber, and Carl Shafer. This team, made up of b0YS Who had no coaching whatever, has de- feated every team met, among the ranks of the Varlquished being our esteemed rival, L- A' High . The names of the conquered are far too num- erous to be mentioned here. Suffice it to say that d Loud Hollywood, L. A. High, Pasadena, an s Beach are on the list. l1511 Girfs' Basezvalf Girls' Baseball as plaved in Polytechnic is t ggnerally known as 'tindoor base-ball.

The ten soccer teams have been organized and Play On the same plan as the Sundown League- 3- Plan which has proved most successful in all branches of athletics.

Girls' Gymnasium Club Upon several occasions during the year, the th Girls' Gymnasium Club has appeared before e school at Aud calls, so that it seems unnecessary to Speak of the good work done by that club, for the school has been able to judge for itself. On these occasions the girls have showed their abil- lty in drills and fancy dancing. All of the members of the Gym Club take the 1'QgU12l1' gymnasium class Work, where they are given responsibility of leadin classes and tak- mg' PPOPGI' care of apparatus. In this Way the club becomes more like a regular class, capable of more advanced and difficult work. Boys, Gymnasium Club Since so many students of Polytechnic are now lndulging in outdoor athletics, it was no easy matter for Mr. WVyckoff to obtain a body of young fellows who were willing to take the nec- essary time and pains to form a pyramid and gymnasium team. The boys who performed this work practiced faithfully with the result that their only ap- Dfbarance was greeted with a great deal of en- thusiasm. WVe hope that more students will turn out for the Gym Club next year. l157l Girls' Baslzetznan t 1 the annual call Early in the fall of las yea ', fQ1' basket-ball players among the girls was HIVGD, with the result that a nu1nber of enthusi- asts came out to play the game. Match games were played between diiterent teams in the school, which were hotly contested and very sportsmanlike. - ' ,d yell Although basket-ball has been IGCGIVG x by the girls, games, such as tennis and volley- ball are fast replacing the older game.
