Although several years have passed since I left the halls of Polytechnic High, my interest in the school and its program of service and education has not diminished. Happy, golden days at old Poly linger in my memory, and I continue to take a keen interest in the school and its work with the youth in our City ofthe Angels. Polytechnic High School has reached a place in its program of service to the community when additional buildings and facilities must be provided to prevent a halt in its growth and advancement. Members of the Alumni Association and all other well-wishers of the school, will make every effort with- in their power to make possible the addition of needed build- ings in order to provide ample quarters for all who desire to take advantage of the opportunity to attend Poly High.'P Members of the Summer Class of '31 should be commended for their splendid work in issuing this number of The Poly- technic Student, a publication reflecting credit upon the entire school. CARL B. WIRSCHING, 'O5 President Pobfteclmic Alumni Amociation ui-ll:l:m mmm:-1: I1-1 Inn-1:l1l nl lil IM-I-I-iilult-lil-1: an:l1lrx-1:ll:m:: rx1:mu:rm'A:ll-1:1 u:l:vl:m :IXYJIII Illlllrlllilillilill-1 s1:l:l:nmi-1:t-I-in llllil mx-mn-lin ,sl W L-lax-I-imml mlm1malml11m:m: si IRIIEIIKUHYIII :naar-nl::l:l: all-1nl:r-1:1111-1 gi llliilllllvl IDI-il The high school period is im portant in one's life because it is at this time that the foundations are laid upon which one's career is built. lt is necessary that the foundation be firm if the building is to stand. Thus these years are most significant in the formation of those character habits by which the problems of life are to be worked out successfully or otherwise. lt is in these years of youth that inspirations for great accomplishments are fostered. Lessons learned early last a life- time, directing and moulding all our actions. So our alumni have gone forth from Polytechnic with achievement for their goal, they have neither been daunted by ad- versity nor turned back by disap- pointments. ln these testings that precede victory, they have proved their ability and determi- nation. It has been their glad duty to uphold the standards of Pvbffflmif High -9011001 Polytechnic High School. Typical of the high ideals of service that have dominated our many graduates is Carl Wirsching, now president of the Alumni Association. A graduate of 1905, Mr. Wirsching has made for himself a record worthy of the school he represents. By his honest effort and continuous preparation he obtained a position under the government as construc- tion engineer. When the Great War called our citizens, Mr. Wirsching was not slow to enlist. He first served as construction and maintenance engineer, and won the rank of major. He was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his important work and outstanding bravery. He is now vice-president of the Los Angeles Board of Public Works, supervising the labor of some four thousand men. Students of yesterday are responsible leaders today. Polytechnic alumni have distinguished themselves in such professions as law, edu- cation, research, community welfare. There have been some with execu- tive ability successful in business. Others have contributed to litera- ture, music, and art. Among well I known Polytechnic graduates are Mr. john Beck and Mr. Leonard Wilson, both with splendid rec- ords as attorneys, Miss Isabelle Smith, Ph.D., Dean of Women at Scripps College, Whose scholarly ideals and line character have in- spired many young women, Mr. Vierling Kersey, State Superin- tendent of Education, an ofhce which requires the highest type of public servant, Lynn Van Nor- man, one-time president of our Ionian Society, now president of the Los Angeles Board of Educa- tion in which position he is de- voting himself unreservedly to the welfare of the youth of this city. Howard Byram, County Treasurer, guards the public in- terests faithfully. Clement Reis, Sales Manager, Zellerbach Paper Company, is a line representative l -. of business integrity. In science are Raymond Stringfield, Ph.D., Chemistry, Leo Delsasso, Ph.D., Physics, at the University of California, and Donald Loughridge, PhQ D., Physics, Institute of Technology, have done outstanding work? Norman McPhail, one-time prominent in the Polytechnic Glec Clubs, is now well known in Los Angeles for his generous efforts in promoting music interests. These and others likewise earnest, loyal, and faith- ful in daily tasks, are promoting the welfare of the community. The supreme requirement from all is that they strive to measure up to the highest ideals of American citizenship-honesty, fearlessness, vision, self-respect, together with faith in God and man. The student body of Polytechnic appreciates the tangible evidences of the interest which binds the Alumni Association to the school. It is through the personal efforts of President Wirsching that it is now pos- sible for the Board of Education to close Twentieth Street and enlarge Dunn Field. It is also the Alumni Association that is presenting to the school the bust of Mr. john H. Francis, founder of Polytechnic. CARL B. WIRSCHING Preyident Alumni Arrociution ' The empire of the mind of the adolescent is the kingdom over which our high school education trains you to reign. You will be, forever, a good ruler if during your high school education you have learned to think, to think in terms of the depth, breadth, and variety of complexity which you will meet in every phase of American life today. You will be a strong ruler if in your heart and spirit are noble ideals ruling your head. Your reign over self will be con- tinuingly successful if your high school education has taught you to know and to enjoy the arts of life and of living. If your high school education has skilled you to know and respect some work in life, and if you are equipped to per- form that Work, you will be well on your way to success. If this experience in dear old Poly has inspired you to be kind in action, simple in want, noble in friendship, faithful in trust, and untiring in effort, then truly you are captain of your mind. Your spiri- tual, social, and personal life will contribute to our civilization. VIERLING KERSEY, S'08 California State Superintendent of Education Integrity is defined by Webster as the quality of being honest, or , freedom from guile or fraud. It I adds the implication of high- mindedness, or a nice sense of al- legiance to one's standards. It denotes uprightness or incorrupti- bility in the execution of trusts. It is to be honorable, creditable, fair and straightforward in con- duct, and free from deception. Integrity is the foundation of every successful venture in a life which looks into the future for the perpetuation of its existence. Without that moral force doubt reigns, and failure is certain. The creation of corporate bodies is de- pendent on, first, the faith of the stockholders in the integrity of oflicers, directors, and the business management, and secondly, the soundness and probable success of the business or the business venture, Without the former, the latter will fail miserably. The requisites of men who are chosen for important positions by modern business executives are, first, integrity, and the ability and aggressiveness. Ability and aggressiveness may be substi- tuted, but there is no quality to replace integrity. Absence of this ele- ment can only bring unfavorable results. Integrity is that element in the mind of man which stabilizes every human endeavor, whether it be in governmental functions, business, or the home, Without it confidence vanishes and chaos ensues. J. L. VAN NORMAN, '99 President L01 Angela Board of Education There has been widespread in- terest in the remarkable records in construction made by Lynn Atkin- s Jn within the last ten years. Al- ready his reputation is well estab- lished as one able to accomplish the impossible. Mr. Atkinson was born in Ko- komo, Indiana, 1894. He received his high school education at Los Angeles Polytechnic, and it is with a warranted measure of pride that the school claims this famous man as one of its sons. Later he attended the New Mexico Mili- tary lnstitute. Training in these in- stitutions formed a strong founda- tion upon which to establish his career. Mr. Atkinson comes from a fam- ily of builders, and he was brought up in an atmosphere of construc- tion. He worked under his father until he was 21, at 18 as superin- tendent ofa highway camp, and at . . 21 superintendent of construction on the Broadway tunnel. ln 1916 he entered business for himself. His last piece of work, the contruction of Pardee Dam, Oakland, is the one which has brought him so prominently before the public. With limited time and finances, and a record river wash-out to combat, many men foresaw disaster. Not Mr. Atkinson, however, for he en- tered the job with a determination to finish it in proper fashion and in less than given time. just how he accomplished this is a story that that reads like fiction. Two years from the day work began the 57,000,000 dam was completed. One secret of Mr. Atkinson's brilliant success is his sterling character and magnetic personality. Not only is he capable, but he also has the ability to inspire in those under him his own zeal and enthusiasm. Another reason for his success is that he knows how to cooperate. His own youthful genius together with the sober experience of older men, has made exactly the right combination. No one questions the fact that even greater things are in store for this outstanding man. LY NN A'FKlNSK7N 9135 Willis A. Dunn Medal Award Mr. Carl Wirsching, President, Polytechnic Alumni Association, Los Angeles, California. Dear Sir: For many years past Mr. Willis A. Dunn has faithfully served as Principal of the Polytechnic High School, and for some time past I have felt a desire to express my appreciation of his personal interest during the days I attended Polytechnic. Too often we unintentionally neglect to recognize and to express appreciation to those to whom we are indebted, and it is natural that the organization of an association of former students of Polytechnic should serve as an inspiration. With this thought in mind, and with a desire to honor Mr. Willis A. Dunn, it has occurred to me that this objective might be accomplished by the annual presentation of medals to the student body, to be known as the Willis A. Dunn Award. The award of such medals to the stu- dent body will perhaps serve as an inspiration to the students in whom he has always been, and will always be interested, and such awards might assist him in stimulating interest. Recently Mr. Frank visited my office, and I advised him of this viewpoint, and at his suggestion I am presenting the matter to you. Inasmuch as this thought has been prompted by contact with the Polytechnic Alumni Association, and believing that this association will be an enduring group, it would seem proper that the presentation of such awards should be made annually by the President of our Asso- ciation, if agreeable with you. I am therefore delivering to you herewith the aforementioned medal awards, together with a memorandum of suggested conditions relative thereto, with the request that you advise me whether or not our Asso- ciation would desire to undertake the presentation of these medals annually, and if so I would appreciate any comments or suggestions in connection with the awards that you might care to make. Yours very truly, LYNN ATKINSON. P.S. It is noted that I have neglected to mention that all expenses in connection with engraving dies and striking of medals will be borne by me personally.

Dunn medal awards will be made annually to selected students of the Polytechnic High School of Los Angeles by the President of the Alumni Association. Siacorsin: lt is anticipated that three awards will be made, as follows: Gold Medal Silver Medal Bronze Medal Timm: lt is anticipated that the recipients of these awards will be selected from the student body by a group of the faculty to be selected hy the Principal of the Polytechnic High School annually, Fouaruz lt is anticipated that in making the Willis A. Dunn awards that much weight will be given to scholarship accomplishments of students under consideration, but it is not anticipated that scholarship alone shall be a determining factor, as the governing elements of the award shall be based on the accomplishment of the students as regards effort, character building, and actual achievement. Primarily it is intended to give large consideration to the elliorts of selected students, rather than to a high grade of scholastic accomplish- ment, and it is conceivable that in only infrequent instances will the awards be made to those having the highest scholastic grades. uotedfrom the Alumni Books will never lose their interest, but they have lost much in charm by the substi- tution of machinery for hand-copying. The reason why the stalls of second-hand dealers never lack for wistful Caryatids is that most book-lovers want volumes mellow with experience as well as wisdomvrich not only with the considerations of the author but with the opinions of former readers,though it be shown only in an excla- mation point in the margin here and there .... And so it is with the manuscripts of Chaucer's great bouquet of stories. None of the scribes or readers, or writers of spuri- ous lines, can give a grain of what the poet accomplishes in a single phrase, and yet the master's revelation of his age in its learning and muddle-headedness, its piety and grossness, is enforced and emphasized by the additionsgyes, and the blundersfof these lesser men.

MARGERY BAILEY, S'O9, Ph.D., Yale Anociate Prafenor of Englixli, Stanford Uf1i1'tfJifj' Stajf of the P0lj'fECl9l1fC Student and Poly High, IQ09 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference. These lines, taken from a poem by Robert Frost, epitomize the lives of those men and women . . . the few in each generation . . . who shape their lives less according to the pattern ofthe many, than to a design of their own making, who determine upon a career, the road to which may be rough but which appeals to their imagination and expresses their idealism. I fear that most of us, when choosing a profession, follow the line of least resist- ance, provided it promises in due time a reasonable assurance of financial advancement and personal success. And by taking this road of comparatively safe travel, have not some of us, perhaps, shut our eyes to the alluring by-road, abandoned our dreams of those other and more ideal walks of life in which our essential idealism might have found expression? Only the rare ones among us have the courage to take the road less travelled by. The young person who dreams a dream and insists upon making that dream a reality has the difficult by-road to travel, with little encouragement from his skeptical fel- lows, yet the bright blade of his own shining ambition will serve as an instrument to cut his way through the tangle of the untrodden roads and bring him ultimately to high, clear places. From an address by ISABEL FOTHERGILL SMITH, S'09, Ph.D., Bryn Mawr Dean and Pfofcuor of Gealagy, Scripps College Prexident Girlf' Self-Government, 1909 . . . To thine own self he true, And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then he false to any man. Our former heloved principal of Polytechnic High School, ,lohn H. Francis, made the principle expressed in this quotation the corner stone of his life and that of his stu- dents. His dynamic personality so impressed its significance upon our minds that no admonition received hy us during our lives has had such a profound and lasting effect upon our consciousness. The especial value of the thought grows with the years, for it is true that as age ap- proaches we either show an ever increasing reliance upon truth or else a degradation into untrustworthiness. There is an old proverh to the elfect that as a twig is hent so shall grow the tree. By so indelihly impressing upon us the value of honesty, .Iohn H. Francis has done us a greater service even than that resulting from our material education. lt is my hope that I shall he ever true to the ideal set hefore us hy him.

Shall we give that little reluctantly? Patriotism calls for the faith- ful performance of the ordinary duties of citizenship in small matters as well as in great. There is no more menacing feature of these times than the disinclination of so- called husy people to assume tl1e hurdens of government. lf we desire to preserve to future generations the high standard of our institutions, we must impress upon our new citizens that ahove all pleasure, ahove all conveniences, ahove all husiness they must plan first their duty to their government. LnoNAno WIl,SL7N, S'12, Att11r11qy-txt-lt111' D1'l211t111g H111mr.r, 1911-1912 To one who has had the opportunity of going to a high school such as Polytechnic, which draws its students from all sections ofthe community, the advantages are mani- fold, hut most important is the experience one gains from friendships with those in school from the different walks of life. A student seldom looks into the future and realizes what the friendships he is mak- ing will mean. But after heing an alumnus for many years, he looks into the past, and comes to the realization that such friendships have proven of inestimahle value. for it will he found that the companions of school days are now husiness associates. One comes to realize further that after all, an important privilege of going to high school is this opportunity of meeting others so that one's sphere of influence may he propor- tionately hroadened and one ceases to he just another person in the life of the com- munity. Therefore, cultivate such friendships while young and your value to the community will increase with time. As a reward you will reap success with the ioy and happiness which accompany it. FRANK FRANK, W'l5, .Tt'L'lll'fli'l'-l'ifl'.l'f Nt1tio11.1l Hank Registrar' Aflllllllf Arrociutiazz Labor is embodied prayer. Labor is dignified. Labor is sacred. The workman's tool is the symbol of humanity's splendor. Animals never use tools. But man is a creature of God's own divinity, and that divinity in man is illimitable. It constantly strives to extend its scope, and the tool, the machine, is the means by which that is done. By means of the tool man makes his arm a little longer, a little sharper, a little heavier. Shall we then regard the use of the tool as a thing of shame? Yet there are those who, in their ignorance, conceive the notion that there is something particularly noble about luxurious idleness, and something degrading and low about manual toil. And so, the tool, the badge of man's transcendence, becomes an object of scorn. Have they forgotten that the Son of God made His home in a carpenter's shop and labored with chisel and saw and hammer? If these words mean nothing else to you, remember at least these two thoughts: first, the tool is the emblem of man's emergence and superiority over the brute. There- fore honor and respect him who can use it skillfully. Second, a tool once rested in the hands of Him who is the Saviour of the World. Therefore be not ashamed of being like l-lim, the Most High, a Maker, a Creator, a Producer, a Worker. From Behold Him, the Carpenter, Sermon, St. Alban's Pro-Cathedral WIALDEMAR BRAY, S'17, Porto! Department Ifditor The Pobftetluzic Stzzdeflt, I9 I7 Intelligent and profitable reading might well be viewed as a mining venture in search of the permanently valuable in literature. Was not the Wise Man merely la- menting the unsatisfying nature of barren and effusive writing when he characterized much reading as conducive to weariness? There is something about certain passages which unfailingly refreshes. Age is unknown to them. Temporal customs neither constitute nor mar their charm. Men of all times read them with delight. Their mes- sage can be successfully translated into any language, for they are universal. They are words litly spoken. They are a joy forever.

War will be eliminated, not in the palaces of Versailles, not at Geneva, but in the schoolroom. However, jingoistic newspapers and a few psuedo- patriotic instructors today incline the mind of youth to a belief that participation in the World War was necessary, inevitable. With this propaganda they are laying the foundation for future wars. There are those who yet preach the dogma, In time of peace prepare for war, not realizing that nations, like individuals, usually get what they prepare for. I would substitute for this a new, less harmful dogma, In time of peace prepare for peace. From An Appeal for Mental Disarmament, Valedictory, Univ. of So. Cal.,S'3O CHARLES WRIGHT, S'25, Imtructor in Latin, Santo Paula High School Prefident Auotidted Student Body Orgenziqution, .Suzf gli? ronze M emoriczl The unveiling of the bronze bust ofjohn H. Francis on the lawn in front of the Polytechnic High School building on the afternoon of Friday, May 2, 1931, together with the impressive program presented, marked the very successful culmination of an idea which originated in the mind of a student who was graduated from the school in 1913. This enterprising former student immediately sought out several other ad- mirers of Mr. Francis and took counsel with them. The result was the selection of a committee to assist in carrying out this project. The membership of this committee represented practically every class, beginniufg in 1899 with the opening of the Com- mercial High School on the site ofold Fort Moore on North Hill Street, and ending in 'june cf 1910 when Mr. Francis resigned the principalship to assume the position of Superintendent of the Los Angeles City Schools, as well as several representing classes down through 1930. lt was made up of a carefully selected group of successful men and women, now mature in years, each of whom had received a definite inspiration from the man whose memory they were about to perpetuate. Each member cheerfully put his shoulder to the wheel, and the necessary funds were promptly contributed by friends as well as alumni. The response was spontaneous. The chairman of the general committee then placed in the hands of a special com- mittee the diflicult task of selecting a sculptor, and after much investigation Mr. Merrell Gage was unanimously decided upon to undertake the work. To reduce the likeness and personality ofsuch a man as Mr. Francis to a bronze bust was an extremely dillicult and painstaking task, but that excellent judgment was shown in the selection of Mr. Gage for the work is plainly evident by the result. It is the especial hope of the Alumni Association as well as all of the friends who took part in carrying out this project that the members ofeach class may receive some inspiration from this material symbol ofjohn H. Francis. His concept of education, his courage, his candor, his readiness to face facts, his manhood, his gentleness, his deep sympathy, and his keen appreciation of all the qualities with which the average American boy and girl is endowed should constitute a heritage on which each one should feed and grow strong. We build such a monument only that men may be re- minded, day in and day out, ofthat heritage which is theirs to claim. The author of this article, having spent all of his high school days Lll'lLlCf Mr. Francis and then having been in the employ of the Board of Education and closely associated with Mr. Francis during practically all of the period of his incumbency as Superin- tendent of Schools of this city, deeply appreciates the privilege of writing these few words concerning a man about whom so much can be said, one who lived according to the ideal he expressed in The Polytechnic Student of 1910: The permanent success of every one of us will ultimately be measured by what we give to the world .... lf you want to be happy, try to do something to make someone else happy.

His warm personal interest in his students, his ability to understand their individual needs and qualities, made him unusually successful in guiding and inspiring them to their best efforts. A young person now, as when Mr. Goodsell was an instructor, cannot hut profit by contact of any kind with him. CARL D. ANDERSON, W'23. Our Registrar EDWARD B coUcH Q Mr. Couch in the diflicult position of hav- ing charge of the attendance record keeps on friendly terms with the students and main- tains their sincere respect and admiration. In his contacts with scores of pupils daily, he at- tempts to aid each one in his individual prob- lem and gives to all his sympathetic help in appreciating ideals of conduct. He enables pupils to find their places as citizens in the government of Polytechnic. We shall always appreciate what Mr. Couch has meant to us both as man and official. NORMAN EDGERTON, W'31.

Although the machinery of Self-Government has changed and enlarged with the growth of Polytechnic, the ideals of self-control, cooperation, and service which gave it birth, remain unaltered. This organization strives to establish that state in which everyone does right because it is the right thing to do. It is an important activity because without the strength of character to govern one's self, education is of little practical value. This fact the Self-Government members seek to impress on the student body at large. The success of their effort is due to the enthusiastic response and cooperation of all the school. The presidents of the Self-Government are elected by the school. The cabinets are appointed by the presidents to work with the presidents and advisers. lt is this group that decides the policies and procedures of the whole body. ln order to have more eilicient work accomplished, Self-Government is divided into departments, each one represented in the cabinet. Each department has its specific work to attend to and concentrates on its particular duties. The most important de- partments are those for maintaining order in the halls, on the campus, in the audito- rium and cafeteria, and for keeping students from going oil' bounds. Representatives are chosen from each home room by the student body, and compose the working force of the various departments. These representatives come in closest contact with the student body and therefore exert an important influence. The Associated Student Body Organization is the important group at Polytechnic which carries on certain ollicial business of the school. It consists ofa president, vice- president, and secretary elected by the student body. The cabinet Consists ofthe heads of those organizations which, because of their importance, are called primary. Ob- iects and duties of this body are quoted from its constitution: To consider all questions of general interest to the Polytechnic High School, and to make recommendations to the principal and to the different student organizations in regard to the same. To consider questions, propositions, or actions of the dillerent student body or- ganizations, or of individuals, upon the consent or recommendation ofthe principal. To pass upon applications for the formation of new organizations and to make recommendations to the principals in regard to the same. To conduct all general elections. To maintain a code of rules governing the awarding of emblems an d the conferring of honors and recommending the kind of emblem to be awarded. The motto of the organization, Victory with Honor, expresses the ideals of Polytechnic High School The Student Council, a new branch of the Associated Student Body, is composed of one representative from each home room except the Seniors, who elect two represen- tatives, a boy and a girl. Its object is to keep the A.S.B.O., of which it is a part, in- formed concerning the attitude of the student body in general on all questions under discussion. lt is expected that this council will grow in importance and usefulness. 2.6 l l MERIT BOARD l'llRS'l' S1:Mls'l'nm Mr. Burke Adviser llororlmy Winch lanicc Sntclillc Ucorgc Cnlncron lnlmn Tlmyson Smmmn SEMESTER Lnurcnc Kristcnson Priscilla Alden Frzmk Dullam George Burr 1 1 f , ' BOUNDS COMMITTEE 7-7 W'31 Boys' and Girls' Leagues ALEX KALIONZES Prefident t JANE LUHRING Prefident RUTH PETTY Vice-Prefideut HAROLD MALLINCEIQR Vice-Prefiderzt ARTHUR HERSKOWITZ Secretary IRMA JANE I'i0LLINGSWOR'I'H Secretary HELEN PAULSON Treafurer VICTOR KING Treamrer FRANK UREANK 12th Grade Reprefentative MARJORIE DONKIER 12th Grade Repreferztatire MARJORIE CHRISTENSON Iltb Grade Repreferltative GEORGE NOLL 11th Grade Repreferztatire PAUL TOON zotb Grade Reprefentatire IRENE BIESCAR mtl: Grade Reprefeutatire 18 S'31 Boys' and Girls' Leagues RUTII PETTY Prexident L, X AL GOODMAN Prexident MATT STANKOVICH A ' Vice-Pruidmt ffl IRMA JANE HOLLINGSWORTII Vice-Prnident CARROLL KENDRICK i Secretary VICTOR KING Secretary JACK LIPMAN Treaxurer FELICIA DUNN Trcaxurcr LOUISE BALL 12th Grade Repreurmtative GROVER TAYLOR ROBERT POST zztb Grade Rcprcfmtative nth Grade Reprumtative MADELINE BROD VIRLEINIA HOFFMAN Ilfb Grade Repruentative :oth Grade Rcprcfmtative RALPI-I KRISTENSON wth Grade Reprefentative 7-9 - f .fied f' 1 Fmsi' SliMliS'I'liR Miss C.

Ionian Society The Ionian Society, one of Polyteehnic's oldest organizations, was first started hy Mr. 'lohn Francis, principal, in 1897, as an organization for eleventh and tvvelftli grades only. The purpose ofthe society is to stimulate interest in literature, music, puhlic speak- ing, current events, and it is with this aim in mind that the programs are presented. lonian pins, which are given to the graduating class, serve as alumni pins, and the assemhly at which the students receive these is an impressive occasion. Under the capahle leadership of Garry Darrach and his cahinet, the society pre- sented three programs during the term of WW, 1, the themes of which were Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. For the first time an original one-act play, ln the Garden of Allah, was produced hy the Mask and Sandal Club. It contained all the mystery and action that one might desire for such an occasion. In Noveniher at the Thanksgiving program the student hody was introduced to several of the nations through the representation of characteristic customs. A new plan was tried for the Christmas program. Besides the usual musical selections, the newly organized A Cappella Choir sang from the balcony the chorus of The First Nowell, the verses of which were sung hy a Polytechnic graduate, Radhurn Rohinson. This was a most heautiful feature of the program. 30 1,,-..,., Fms'r SEMESTER SECOND Samnsran Mr. Newman Adviser Miss Hov Mary Erskine Herbert Humphreys Bessie DuBois Larry Tajiri Fred Folluer Ruebclle Mandlecorn Milton Haggerty Richard Nash 9752 Pohl Optimifl ALUMNI anrrons We point to them with pride, our successful alumni, and not least among this group are the former editors of The Optimist, the weekly which has served the school for seventeen years. Many have gone into the field of journalism, some with only their early training on the school paper, others after completing a college course. In the early years of the paper, under the direction of Miss Adele Humphrey and later Mr. S. M. Newman, were students whose names are now listed among the suc- cessful. Frank Taylor, editor in 1913-14, is one of these. After graduation from Stan- ford University, he was war correspondent for the Associated Press, and in recent years has written books and magazine articles. Carl Randau, W'15, also became a war correspondent. Howard Lewin, editor in 1916, is a successful executive with Brown- stein Lewis, Los Angeles clothing manufacturer. Field Brittle, S'I7, formerly city editor of a Memphis, Tennessee paper, is now an Associated Press correspondent in Washington. Lawrence Travis, W'18, publishes his own paper in Canada. Among the more recent graduates, Gene Cannaday, S'2.o, is prominent. From cook hand to head clerk was his record with the Standard Oil Company of California while working at San Pedro. Since then he has been promoted to the general office at San Francisco. Thelma Schoyer, Sill, is in charge of the telephone department of the Los Angeles Examiner. Frank Musseter, W'2.7., formerly of the Los Angeles Express, and Republican Party publicity chairman, active in the successful election of George E. Cryer for mayor of Los Angeles, is now with the Southern California Telephone Com- pany as their head publicity man. 31 WUWWLAWWWM 33 Commencement W'31 THEME: f7.x'pfw'iNg Alimlf 111 11 fffftlzlqlalg ll 'nrfff Processionztl. , . , , 1 , .

Senior llccs Hobby Mamftging Winter '31 Class Qzfb The presentation of gifts by the graduating classes of Polytechnic High School has become traditional. The value and quality of the gift may differ constantly, but the purpose remains always the same. The graduating students have derived so much from the school in the way of education, entertainment, and friendliness, that they Cannot help but cherish a wish to show their appreciation. With the view in mind of bestowing something of practical use, the Class of Winter '31, after careful consideration, decided on the construction of a scoreboard in Polytechnic's football field. The scoreboard is elaborate and complete in every detail and supplies a need long felt by the school. lt will serve to indicate to all stu- dents, present and future, that members of the Class of Winter '31 feel they owe to the school a broadening of their mental horizons, and an inspiration, springing from con- genial and helpful surroundings. Their gift is a pledge to uphold the ideals learned in Polytechnic. SO Q Wz'12ter '31 Class ighb TAKE MY ADVICE By Elliott Lester Bud Weaver. . . Marella ..,,.. Mr. Weaver. . . Ann Weaver. . .

Availing ourselves of the opportunities offered by such an institution as Polytechnic, we may establish characters that will support pillars of noble thoughts and noble deeds. Will the foundation we are constructing stand the constant weathering that trials and tribulations may impose upon it? We may gather the necessary materials from the quarries of Polytechnic, and may have them rigidly reenforced by the counsel of our instructors. With this preparation we may leave our Alma Mater's fostering care and cope wisely with difficulties that impede our progress. Repeatedly has it been revealed that those who achieve in later life avail themselves not only of scholastic activities but also of the experience that holding an office gives. The democratic form of government we enjoy in school enables us to officiate in a responsible capacity. There are various openings for the civic-minded student. Be- sides clubs and appointive offices, there are eleven primary organizations to which capable boys and girls may aspire. Mr. Clement Reis, city sales manager of the Zellerbach Paper Company, is dis- tinguished as being the first student body president of Polytechnic. This pioneer helped blaze the trail ofa true democracy that constitutionally belongs to every Poly- ite. In 1899, Mr. Lynn Van Norman had just finished a successful campaign for the Ionian presidency. Under his leadership this society progressed rapidly. The young man who won the favor of the upper classmen and who earnestly executed the duties of Ionian president, today presides over the Board of Education of Los Angeles City. Another young man, now president of the Alumni and who was active in school life, was Carl Wirsching, S'05, manager of the Annual and interested in many other school activities. Today he is vice-president of the Board of Public Works. We are carefree students today, but on the morrow we must fill positions of im- portant responsibilitites. We must fit ourselves to act wisely in the capacity of civic leaders, directly or indirectly. The business executives of today are looking for talented young men who express originality in their undertakings, who are energetic and able to assume responsibility. These qualities can be developed in the high school only by earnestly doing the work undertaken and constantly striving for improve- ment. By so doing we are able to know ourselves, and through this knowledge we may advance by the correction of the defective qualities. In high school days partici- pation in student offices affords us the opportunity to prove our capacity for future advancement. The experience gained is most invaluable. Polytechnic feels the influence of its alumni. Many men and women who only yes- terday filled its rooms with an atmosphere of earnest effort are achieving honors which reflect glory on their beloved Alma Mater. They were given the same oppor- tunities that we may avail ourselves of today. To participation in these high school activities their success is largely due. Ci-xAnLE.s GALLANT, JR.

Despise not the dreamer, because all great achievements are the result of dreams. So let us, those who glimpse the vision ofa greater Polytechnic, have our say. The feasibility of such thoughts is shown when we think of the closing ofTwentieth Street brought about by the Alumni Association, thus adding to our gym held, a result of which will be the erection of a grand stand large enough to care for the student crowds. More important results, however, are that danger and noise resulting from the passing of traflic through Twentieth Street will be eliminated, and we shall be able to experience a feeling of spaciousness before impossible because of inadequate grounds. There are those who look a little farther and see a lovely extent of lawn surrounding our buildings. Why not have this most suitable setting for the school? The achievements of the past year have inspired me to cherish even the most far-reaching visions of a Poly made beauti- ful, with a spreading campus of trees, grass, shrubs, flower beds, and walks that would refresh the students as they approach the Halls of Learning. Another improvement I sanction is to include in our grounds the property on the corner of Washington and Flower Streets. This is an ideal spot for a library, sur- rounded by trees to eliminate noise. I shall provide in this building not only an art gallery, a room set aside for the purpose, but also on the walls of the spacious corridors there shall hang reproductions of famous paintings as well as works of modern artists. Maybe I shall find someone who will exert enough influence to provide my ideal buildings with a conference room for student committee meetings. More than this I shall see that the teachers also have rooms for relaxation and freedom from the exact- ing students. Turning our attention to the other side of the campus, can not each one of us imagine a lovely garden where Barnard Park is now? The most prominent object of all would still be the ancient rubber tree. It has so much sentiment attached to it that it IHLISI be preserved at any cost. This landscaped extension of the campus which I propose shall include all Barnard Park frontage, as Grand Avenue is now a noisy nuisance. Someone with a far-seeing vision will provide us with a means of prevent- ing this confusion so exasperating to the teachers in the English Building. For how can one appreciate the beauties of literature in conflict with the clash of city traflic? lf a quiet spot also were found for the Music Building, the project would receive my most hearty support. Need I go further in describing to you the Polytechnic of tomorrow? Has not each one of you a picture of his own? When we return in future years, we shall be able to see more and more just what is best for the beautifying and improvement of our be- loved school. But after all, what is it that draws the alumni back? Is it not the Old Poly Spirit? What is this spirit? you may ask. It is enthusiastic support of the ideals of the school. Because of this we realize that it is not the material things after all that hold the students, but traditions and associations that make its memory dear. ETHEL YORK, S'31. S7 WITMVERAWV - . .L 'l 1 I M Co1nNcnAr-1 S9 'Radio 'Keverio As I locked myself in my room last night and tuned in my radio, a piano rendition of the songs of the various states of our country lilled the air and, because it proved to he in keeping with my mood, I lay down on my bed, relaxed, and listened. The be- witching softness of the music overcame me, and before long the familiar strains of On Wisconsin carried my thoughts across the continent to the home which I had left several years agoff The barking and antics of my overjoyed dog, Spot, welcome me as I walk up the steps, and after stopping to give him the attention he demands, I enter the house and peep into the living room. Nothing has changed. At the piano sits sister Cecilia toying with the keys. Dorothy lies on the floor poring intently over the complicated word brother, which she has been able to spell with a new set of alphabet blocks. Beside her is a forlorn-looking doll which I vaguely recall having tucked into her lirst Christmas stocking. There in the dining room, close to the coal heater, reclines dad dozing over the eve- ning paper. Not wishing to disturb his respite from the weariness of the day's work, I leave him to enjoy the cosiness of his retreat by tiptoeing around the easy chair in which he rests, expecting him to wake every minute and demand an explanation of my prolonged absence. The sounds and odors emanating from the kitchen tell me that mother is busy pre- paring the evening meal with the help of Florence and Regina. I cannot resist sneak- ing up behind mother and surprising her with a kiss, Of course, I ollier to help make the dessert and, without waiting for permission, make ready to heat the sugar and eggs for one of those delicious upsidedown cakes whose disappearance before their proper time to be served is always blamed upon me. My good intentions are short- lived, however, for as I am about to combine the ingredients Regina snatches my hand out of danger. For heaven's sake, don't you know the difference between salt and sugar? Give me time, I complain, I haven't made a mistake yet. If you really want to he useful, stay away until the cake is baked, intervenes mother as Regina and I threaten destruction to the supper preparations in our rush to circumvent each other. Realizing the futility of further argument against superior numbers, I turn away to seek refuge in the confines of my little room in the southwest corner of the house. My heart beats with excitement as I open the door leading into it for I fear the changes that may have been made in my absence. But no, I lind it exactly as I left it, and I am glad beyond words, There between the two windows of the south wall is my gram- mar school diploma in its simple frame, while the picture of Sit Galahad that I love so well still decorates the wall opposite. What pleases me most, however, is to see my cherished bookcase occupying its usual niche and inviting me to enter once again into the realm ofchildhood's Storyland. The ecstasy is so great that I throw myselfon the 90 hed waiting for me in its customary corner, and with a feeling of security, peace, and love I fall into a deep sleep. It was dark when I awoke to tind everything quiet. The pale light of a full moon lit up the furniture, outside my window the rustling of leaves hlown hy a playful wind distracted me as I endeavored to collect my wits. Finally the melody of a mocking bird hroke the silence and reminded me that I was not hack in my Wisconsin home but still in California. Slowly I rose from the hed, turned off the now silent radio, and then lay down again trying to soothe the deep longing that filled my heart. HARRY A. KOTECK1, W'31. 9715? Victor He runs upon the fieldg And as he runs, lightly, A faint smile touches his lips, The smile of one who knows his strength. The joy of conflict is in his heart. He snatches off his helmet And flings it from him disdainfully. Indeed, what need has he of helmets? Ha, this is too easy! He smiles again and plunges onward to the goal. A dozen arms reach out to him, A dozen arms outstretched to stop his progress, But he is gone. And as he runs, His light laugh, drifting back, Flings a note of pity to the others!

ESTHER KILMP, S'31. 91 H owes Looking through an issue of Boys' Life, I saw an article on how to make trumpets out of cow horns. As the idea appealed to me, I read the directions carefully. My imagination stirred with the thought that I could bring forth rustic music such as used to call Robin I-lood's merry men together, back in the time of King Richard of the Lion-Heart. Turning to Bill, my brother, I said with enthusiasm, Let's make some trumpets, the kind the old Saxons had. Why? asked Bill, in his matter-of-fact way. I replied by showing him the article. Where could we get the horns? Bill was still skeptical. I had already thought of that. At the Scott Stock Yards, of Course, I answered. The next day, when I made my wants known to the manager of the packing house, he laughed, and then suggested that perhaps I might change my mind upon seeing and scenting the horns available. I did not Wavet in my purpose, however. Winning my case, I left with two trophies and a singing heart. The horns were still attached to portions of skulls. Upon arriving home, I took them at once to the kitchen for boiling. Mother entered the room and the expression on her face certainly discouraged me. The horns had to be taken outdoors, and she decreed that they should not be brought into the house again. She could not see for what good purpose they could be used, anyway. Not letting this maternal command dampen our spirits, Bill and I selected the back yard for a base of operations. We spent the next few days alternately boiling the horns in an old kettle over a campfire and digging them out. Our unusual diligence attracted the attention and curiosity of the neighbors. Housewives of adjoining lots came frequently to the fence. Some objected to the smell, others merely scoffed at the idea. Of course, we always had a group of small boys looking on. Each prophesied a different outcome, and needless to say, few were encouraging. When the horns were fairly clean, we began a period of scraping and sand papering. This continued until they were almost transparent. Then, thinking we had applied enough elbow grease to the sides, we focused our attention on the tips. These were sawed off at about a half-inch from the ends. With the leather punch ofa scout knife, small holes were drilled from the flat ends to the hollows inside. These holes had to taper from about three-eighths of an inch on the outside to about one-eighth on the inside. After working till his arms and fingers ached, Bill would say, What if they don't come out all right, Gene? I would return, Think of something cheerful, Bill. Don't be so pessimistic. These moments of discouragement, however, occurred only when we were both tired. At other times we never thought of failure despite the lack of family and com- munity support. Our persistent efforts and optimism finally won over the family. They became keenly interested. When the finishing touches were put on the horns, my 97. mother and sisters, the neighbors, and small boys were all present to witness the try- out. Visualizing the ancient oaks of England in place ofthe twentieth century back yard, it seemed to me just like a meeting of all of Robin I-1ood's men. Even Ivanhoe, Cedric, and Wanda were there in my mind's eye. Pressing the mouth-piece of one of the horns to my lips, I was Little john testing a new trumpet before an interested group of Saxonsg then I blew. The beautiful peals of Sherwood Forest Yfalas, where were they? The only sound coming from the contraption was a mournful squawk, a cross between a saxophone in the hands of a beginner and the wail of a cow in distress. Bill tried his horn with the same result. Remarks came thick and fast from our audience. Are those the wonderful trumpets we have heard so much about? I told you they wouldn't be any good! I could make one better than that. Too disappointed for excuses, I turned to Bill, who remarked, It isn't worth doing over again with the possibility of getting something worse! I gave vent to my feelings only by a disgusted grunt which spoke volumes. Thus ended my attempt to become a medieval musician, but I was not permitted to forget my humiliation for many long weeks.

CLARA CAMPHUIS, S'3 1. 93 P7756 mile idea Perhaps the most peculiar experience that ever happened to me occurred while, or to be more exact, after, I was a member of the 59th Division of the R. F. C. I had been flying the position of number two on the right in A flight, which had the romantic title of The Dawn Patrol. More properly named, it would have been called The Death Patrol, for someone always remained behind. The Dawn Patrol was scheduled for its regular morning work, but this time it seemed I was to remain behind. I had been entrusted with the duties ofa solo bombing flight. The odds were ten to on: again at m :, but little mattered after the monotony of the Dawn Patrol. There was no one to worry about me ifl didn't come back, and here was a good chance to get out ofthis beastly war. The job was the destruction ofa munition plant some sixty kilometers behind the German lines. As the sector was very well patrolled by enemy planes, the only way to get in was to fly low at dusk and slip in under the flying circus. The work itselfdid not bother me, but I knew the importance ofthe munition plant. The Allies were planning an attack at 10 o'clock that night. If that plant was re- moved, they would be under very little danger. IfI failed, three thousand men were certain of death. The munition plant serviced the German lines in that district. The success or failure of the Allies' movement depended upon me. Dusk came. I was in a plane, fitted with special bombing apparatus, and flew low through a green valley where all was quiet. But I had come to deal death and destruc- tion. Near the end of the railroad, which ran through the valley, I sighted the muni- tion plant. Circling around the place to get the lay of the land, I thought of the Illzlll- made energy stored in those buildings on the ground, but I never once thought of the potential energy which lay under the very ground itself. I let the first bomb drop. It was answered with a terrific uproar. Buildings left the ground only to fall back in splinters. The earth was uprooted as though a giant gopher were plowing its way through the soil. The rest of the bombs dealt a similar blow. Not a thing remained standing. The ground was in a condition worse than if it had been heavily shelled. Nothing was left, I had succeeded in the main part of the venture. My life was all that remained. I turned about and started homeward when I noticed for the first time the members of the skilled flying circus rushing toward me at a tremendous speed. Quickly, I again turned about and gave them a chase. They were gaining rapidly, and as the leading one was tearing down upon me, I suddenly looped up and backward, righted myself back of the last plane and bore down upon it before its pilot had a chance. He went down in flames. There were still the two planes, and one was piloted by Von Riether. Little chance had I against him. A few minutes ofstunting and I went down. 94 Luckily my plane did not go into flames, and I could partially control it as it went down. I landed up-side-down over a German trench. It was only a short time until I was taken prisoner and escorted to a cell. My time was about up, but, strangely enough, it was lengthened. I was taken to see the com- inandant. This gentleman informed me that I had in my possession certain information, which, even in the face of my destructive entrance, would aid the enemy in holding the Allies. If I would tell him what he wanted, it could be arranged for me to exit quietly through Russia and, when the war was over, to go home. I jumped at the chance, but recovered myself in time to remember that three thou- sand men depended upon me. IfI refused, the only alternative left for me was the firing squad. One life for three thousand was cheap enough. I refused to answer. It won't hurt much, I kept saying to myself. Soon all will be over and then - My train of thoughts was interrupted by the brisk commands ofa squad leader. A few simple movements and I was against a wall with a squad of men facing me. At another command their rifles leaped into a ready position. Centuries latei, it seemed, the rilles were in an aiming position. Finally there was a deafening roar. Something pierced my heart. I felt as though a bolt, hot and metallic, had suddenly been thrust through me. This something seemed to pin me to the wall for an instant. A sour, acrid taste was in my mouth. The thing which held me to the wall suddenly broke. I felt numb all over. A slow rocking motion accompanied my fall to the ground. Ob- jects became blurred. Then all went black. But soon golden curtains closed over the velvety blackness. A soft mellow light slowly increased in its intensity. From somewhere music began to play. Softly at first, it soon rose to climactic heights. The fierce tones seemed to shake the very sup- port upon which I was resting. Suddenly, with a terrific climax, the music ceased. Then came a flash of light. It was hard to realize, at first, that I was really still conscious. The unexpected sight of many people about me greeted my eyes. In front of me, in back of me, to the right, and to the left people were sitting. I tore myself away from the support against which I was resting. It felt just like the wall against which I had been placed by the firing squad. A queer, piercing pain still reverberated through my heart and tingled to my finger tips. I looked about me. Oh! What a joke! I had not been shot after all. Iwas in the theater. I had again been indulging in that romantic habit of mine, the habit of being a hero by proxy. This time I had been the Flight Commander, but all my thrilling adventures had merely been scenes on the screen. I had niet every kind of danger, even death itself, while seated comfortably in a modern motion picture palace. What a humiliating Comedown! Rizx ALLENBRAND, W'31. 93 I1espz'mtz'01L, Pausing here on the city street I watch the glow of the west, The golden clouds and the crimson sky, The silhouette ofa hird on high As the night hrings darkness and rest. Far in the distance, gloriously clear Stencilled against the hlue, Rise the domes of an Orient scene Like a colorful picture thrown on a screen , Of fanciful shape and hue. I am carried hack to a charmed land, Stirred hy the thioh of its life. I watch the winding caravan And the turhaned, strange Moliaiiiiiietlaii As he kneels to the East and prays again, While over the sand drifts the chanted refrain. Now I am hack in the market place Where the iuggler plays with his crystal vase And the mystic murmuts his endless prayer, While the chariner sings a sinister air Enticing his snakes with nonchalant care. Ivory, spice, and dates in storeg Perfumes fahled in Eastern lore - And the camels are kneeling in solemn array Before the mosque where the faithful pray. Now the light in the sky is faded, I am hack in the common strife. But sometime again comes the vision clear, For the soul must hreak from its hondage dre Of the dull routine of life. And the exaltation lingers on Though the sunset light is long since gone. 211' Wiiaaiiirra Niwmniu 9 32 96 Fo The city was blanketed in a thick fog. As I made my way toward Market Street, I wondered how I could interest myself until sailing time. It was still early and the noise of the street-cars and trucks was softened by the low-lying cloud. Few people were abroad. The passers-by suddenly shot up in front of me, passed, and vanished, leaving the mist swirling in their wake. This abrupt appearance and disappearance only increased my feeling of loneliness. The ferry whistles blew incessantly muffled, weird notes of warning that made me nervous. There is a peculiar effect to these sounds in a fog. On bright, sunny days they are unnoticed, for usually at such times trifles are disregarded. With the sunlight one looks ahead in an attempt to make the future as bright, the spirits rise and cares are more easily endured. In fog, efforts to be cheerful are likely to weaken, and the combination ofbiased sounds, smells, and sights helps to make the moment disagreeable. I put up at the Seneca, and after changing clothes set about to discover some way of passing the time. The usual magazines that lay on my table did not appeal. Reading in a hotel room is unthinkable. The walls echo your thoughts, every article of furniture commands your attention, the whole atmosphere is conscious of your presence. l gave up and made my way down to the first floor. In the early morning, hotel lobbies possess a quietness typically their own. The night clerk at the desk placing the work in order for his relief, the emptiness of the big chairs and lounges, perhaps an uneasy guest, all contrast with the bustle and hurry of mid-clay efficiency in housing the traveler. Each little noise makes a distinct impression on the mind, the realization of many human beings asleep in the rooms overhead disturbs one. In such surroundings l searched for relief. It was yet too early for a show, and as the news- papers were as damp as the fog, I pulled a chair up to the big front window and ordered coffee. The chance of a morning conversation with two old gentlemen seated in back of me was out of the question, as I recognized them to be lobby laggersf' At the moment one was dozing while the other scribbled at a stationery desk. The oppressive silence was broken only by the scratching pen and the moan of boat whistles. I occupied myself for a time distinguishing the different types of sounds on the bay. The deep bass booms must be the Alameda and Oakland boats calling instructions to their dock crews and to each other. The sharp, angry blasts were from some tug or fishing launch held up on its course perhaps by a larger craft. All the whistles in all the keys were so sad that I found myself suddenly homesick. With an effort to throw off this mood, I began to take an inventory of the past few years, but as I could credit myself only with mistakes, I dismissed this train of thought. The scratching pen irritated me. I tried to formulate the movements into commas, periods, and the crossing of t's. In this attempt I felt that I should soon be forced to ask the old gentleman ifI might read his letter. I broke away from the urge and turned my attention to the people on the sidewalk, noticing how they stirred the mist in passing, how it writhed as if in anger at their presumption, then attempted to settle down, only to be torn from its drift by the next passer-by. I tried to think of a good reason for fogs and decided that they must be a necessity 97 for something in this very complicated plan of life. Since to continue musing in this way would bring me to the verge of insanity, I resigned myself to a had day and rc- turned to my room to sleep, thinking that an essay on fogs, even from the great Addi- son himself, would be the most boresome piece ofliterature imaginable. GLEN DEMPSIQY, W'51,. 'Reality I awoke from a dream, a beautiful dream, A dream of the joys of life. There was no pain, no suffering, no strife, No heart-breaking cries of the tortured soul Which has wandered far from its goal. All was peace, and joy, and love. Men were accepting the beautiful gifts Sent from the Father above. I awoke from a dream f but was it a dream? Peace still reigned in my heart. I looked on this world of sorrow and loss, This world of which I was a part, And I wondered-ffwas not this, then, the dream, A dream of distorted mind, Of a soul unbelievably blind? And the dream I dreamed before I awoke e Ah, yes, I knewf 'that was the true. DOROTHY M. Fra, W'33. t.M0rIliI1g Down the deep ravine I gaze, where Shafts of sun disperse the morning mist Which veils God's beauty rare. Still sleepy silence, far from man, Enthralls the awakening clay. But now the faithful rooster crows, A shrill retort proclaims that night is done. More distant sound the straying cows. The birds stir in their nests with swelling song while The last shades disappear. Reluctantly I turn away Mingling with life's uneasy pattern. CLARA CAMPHUIS, S'31. 98 V4 Footnote hr History Years have elapsed and still the memory of him lingers onethe best-loved friend of my childhood. To me he seemed far superior to anyone I knew, except my parents, and though I was very young at the time it all happened, I shall never forget him. When ransacking an old trunk a few days ago, Ifound a newspaper with the story of his life. How distinctly the incidents of our acquaintance came back to mel It is hardly possible that anyone who knew those war days will ever forget the anxiety and turmoil of the time. Even though I had not yet reached the age of eight, I was greatly impressed by the general excitement, so that when something happened in our own family group, I was unusually alert. I remember how quickly I noticed that Mother and her friends were not quite frank in their mention ofljose in my presence, that they changed their conversation to the weather, or when the next government plane was due at Fort Bliss ifI appeared unexpectedly. I knew they were trying to divert my attention. My childish innocence did not admit suspicion, but one day I became uneasy. I was playing quietly on the sun-porch, unobserved, when I heard Mother say to a caller, Jose surely deceived us. Really, Mrs. Barnes, do you see how anyone could have doubted his sincerity? Of course not, was the reply. He was an artist in his way. It is hard even now for me to believe he is guilty. You know, Mother returned, I don't dare tell the younger children. They would not understand, and then, too, it would just break their hearts. They'll miss him, ofcourse. Is Bob still tracing them? Yes, and isn't it foolish of him? The authorities have proof ofjose's guilt, and one would naturally think that a seventeen-year-old girl would have some knowledge of her father's work. I firmly believe that she was implicated in it, too. But you know Bob, he is not easily convinced. Mother sighed as she rose and came toward the window by which I was playing. When she discovered me, I felt rather ashamed to have been eavesdropping, and very much puzzled by what I had heard which, even though I did not understand, I resented. Mama, I demanded, why don't you like Jose? .jose is a nice man, he is my friend. Where is he, Mama? Isn't he going to play with us again some day? No wonder she looked bewildered, for it was sufficient to perplex anyone. Mrs. Barnes picked up her purse and started to leave. Mother walked with her, instructing me to wait until she returned. I sat impatiently on the window bench watching the soldiers practicing in the field across from us. My mind drifted back to the good times we had had withjose and his beautiful daughter. In the evening they often came over and joined our little family group. Bob and Anita usually wandered off with our burros for a ride. Jose told us thrilling stories of Mexico and his boyhood, or we all played games. I thought sadly of the last time I had seen him. We had romped as usual and then just before he left he called me to him. 99 Chiquita, he said smiling, you'll always rememher me, won't you? You'll al- ways he my little friend, won't you? I pleaded with him to play some more, hut he refused and said he must leave early. I remeinhered something disturhing in his manner as he watched Anita and Boh when they returned from their ride to linger in the twilight as usual. Then we all said goodnight, and Bolw escorted them the half hlock to their home. Next morning we were surprised hy the sight ofa detachment of soldiers on horse- hack in front of'Iose's house. One of them came over to ask if we had seen Senor Martinez leave. Mother knew nothing of.lose's whereahouts, and the men left after they had searched his house thoroughly. It was all most perplexing as I went over the events. Mother returned from her walk with Mrs. Barnes and took me on her lap. Jose has gone away, dear, He's gone on a long trip. Perhaps some day he will come hack and play with you. .lose was a nice man to little children, and we shall always rememher him as our friend and playmate. Run along and play now, dear. Mother has to prepare lunch, With that the matter was dropped. Time went on and we missed ,lose a great deal. Run, Sheep, Run and Hide and Seek were not so enioyahle without his gay companionship. Boh was irritahle and moody now. He seldom played with us, and he wasn't the same Boh at all. Once I overheard him defending Anita when a neigh hor had made some remark I did not understand ahout her. The mailman was Bolfs friend. Whether he ever heard from Anita or not, I was not informed. Boh, ofcourse, was too young for Anita's desertion to affect him permanently. But I helieye that in his suh-consciousness he still loves the winsome girl who was his hoyhood sweet- heart as I still love her father, my childhood companion. And so the other day it all came hack when I read the screaming headlines once more in the El Paso Press, dated 'Iune 13, 1917. Villa Spy in Daring Escape After posing as a retired professor from Mexico, .lose Martinez, a famous spy working with Pancho Villa, Mexican outlaw, early this morning escaped authorities who had traced him as far as El Paso. It is the third time Martinez has slipped through the hands of the law. It is helieved that he was interested in Fort Bliss. He lived a short distance from the Fort and within a hlock from the camp of the Ohio regiment. With Martinez his seventeen-year-old daughter also disappeared. She has heen connected with his work, according to dispatches from Washington. Warnings have heen issued to all hordering cities ordering the arrest of Martinez. It is feared that he has crossed the horder and is traveling toward the interior of Mexico hy now. Lois WiLsoN, S'1,i.

Kuixizlia NQJZAKI, S'1,4. I OO Snap Shop While on a walking trip in the Sanllacinto Mountains, the party I was with meta forest ranger. He was riding a small grey horse and looked as though he had just stepped out of either a novel or a moving picture. He wore a large Stetson hat, whip- cord hreeches, leather boots, and a deerskin wind-breaker. Howdy, hoys! He greeted us in that slow drawl that will distinguish a Westernsr anywhere. How's tricks? Fine, we replied and told him we were headed for the top of a nearhy mountain. Oh, you are following the upper trail then. Well, go quietly and see what hap- pens! With that he rode on, hut there was a twinkle in his eyes that hadn't heen there hefore. We proceeded very quietly for about twenty minutes. Keeping still while on fairly easy ground is hard to do, especially for hoys. l went on ahead around a curve in the trail and stopped. The next fellow in line came around and stopped heside me. At last all four of us were standing together perfectly still, for on the trail in front of us were three deer. The closest was about ten feet from me. The deer looked up curi- ously, sniffed ahout a hit, and went on eating the long grass. We watched them a few moments and then our leader snapped his lingers. ln one jump the deer disappeared into the surrounding hrush and were gone. lf we had not taken the ranger's hint, we would have missed a wonderful sight. .IAY BRICK, W'51,.

It tells me stories of knights and romance, Of glory won by daring and chance. It sings of the lord who laid his cloak down That a beautiful lady might save her gown.

Almost equal in importance was ,the cutting through of Flower Street and the devoting of the land directly between it and the girls' gym to the activities of feminine athletes. Many reasons were advanced for the abolishing of tHe diamond sport. The main objection was the lack of playing space and the danger of iniury to track athletes. However, an indoor ball league was organized immediately under the supervision of Coach Mahoney and interest in baseball was sustained. The Major and Minor City Leagues were combined to form the new twelve team City Loop. Polytechnic, Belmont, Fairfax, Franklin, Fremont, Hollywood, Garfield, Los Angeles, Manual Arts, jefferson, and Roosevelt comprise the revamped circuit. IBO The grid elevens of Manual Arts, Lincoln, and Fremont tied for the first league crown. Polytechnic met defeat at the hands of the Hollywood and L. A. High squads to finish in fifth place. The undefeated L. A. High quintet walked off with the basketball title. The Mechanic team, though hampered by injuries, ineligibilities, and bad breaks, managed to end in fifth positions The lightweight and Class C football teams possessed light and the old Poly spirit but did not fare so well on the tanbark. The lightweight basketball squad came through with flying colors to win the championship, while the midget live lost their final contest to Lincoln to finish the season in second place. The I93O football season was one of the most important in the history of high school athletics in the city of Los Angeles. The Major and the Minor City Leagues were merged and the new twelve team City League was formed. The high schools in the new loop are Polytechnic, Manual Arts, L.A.High, Lincoln, Hollywood, jefferson, Franklin, Fremont, Fairfax, Belmont, Roosevelt, and Garfield. The race for the first pigskin' crown resulted in a triple tie between Manual Arts, Lincoln, and Fremont.

On the fifth try Scott went over for the score.

The Blue and Gold warriors fought but they were defeated by a superior team. Sinclair Lott, Poly's punting end, crossed the Roman goal line on a long toss from Yharra for the only Poly score of the day late in the final quarter. The Romans tallied on their first play of the game when Cheshire, All-City halflsack, broke away and raced S3 yards to a touchdown. The Gopher aggregation scored twice in the last quarter. Cheshire intercepted one of McCallum's tosses, twisting, squirming, and dodging his way down the field to the promised land in the distance, the Poly goal line. McClain, Cheshire's running mate, returned a punt 61 yards for the third L.A.score. He was given perfect interference on his romp down the turf. Ryan and Linares, tackles, Fuqua, center, and McCallum and Reis, hacks, played the hest football for the Mechanics. STATISTICS POLYTECIINIC L 7 First downs ...,.,....,,. 160 Yards from scrimmage, ..

Poly did all her scoring in the first half. Late in the initial period a wide end run by Ralphs, Poly halfback, advanced the pigskin zo yards to the Roosevelt 19 yard line. On the next play McCallum, Parrot half, circled right end and covered the remaining distance to the Rough Rider goal. Poly's second touchdown was the direct result of a sustained drive that was good for 56 yards. Reis, sophomore fullback, dived over for the score. Lott made good on one of the two tries for the extra point. In the third period with Galitzen and Romano bearing the brunt of the attack, the Rough Riders scored after a march down the turf. A safety added two more points on the Roosevelt side of the ledger when Lott punted from behind the end zone. The Me- chanic linemen turnedTintora veritable stone wall and thwarted a determined attack on the one-yard line. Lott played a nice game at end for Poly. Ralphs showed good form as a ball packer.

After the smoke o battle had cleared, the Sheiks were found to be on the long end ofa zo-o score but only after a hard fight. The husky Belmont eleven was too power ful and defeated the Parrots IS-O in the second round of play. 'Ieffersoifs array ofspeedy backs proved to be the difference between victory and defeat when the baby Tornado encountered the fast Democrat gridders. The final score was zo-o. L. A. High was considered top-heavy favorites, but they were lucky to emerge with a 6-o victory when Willey passed to Shedol who rambled 43 yards to the only score of the day. With only ten seconds to play, Sherwood, Poly end, dropped back and on a trick play tossed the pigskin to Troy, in the Roosevelt High Class B game, for the first touchdown scored by the Mechanics in 1930. Sherwood climaxed the day by kicking the ex- tra point to cke out a 7-6 victory as the game ended. Shei'wood's place kick from the thirty-yard line and a thirty-two yard run to a score by Troy featured the Par- rots' second win of the year over a strong Franklin team. The final score was 9-7. Seventeen men awarded letters by Coach Bell were Captain George Sherwood, end, William Sharp, tackle, Shiri Woodworth, guard, james Hanson, center, Frank Cory, guard, Alex Kudlac, tackle, Claudius Troy, end, .Iennings Winn, fullback, Arthur Hayes, half, Logan Frazee, half, Walter Oliphant, quarterback, Brent Grey, half, Pete Kalionzes, quarterback, George Hess, quarterback, Sam Fleishman, end, Eugene Wald, tackle, and Cirilo Villegas, manager. 139 I l .Midgets of the Gridiron, Lack QfOfl'Cl1SlYC strength proved to he the downfall of the Parrot Class C eleven during the 1950 grid season. Of the six league games played two were victories, one game was tied, and three contests were dropped. Although only one letterman returned at the start of the year,Coaches Eddie Leahy and Dutch Knappman molded a team that fought and showed a sterlingtdefense at all times. Proof of this can he found in the fact that each of the three games lost were by the margin of one touchdown. A strong Fairfax team was the first opponent and a scoreless tie was the result. Nardomarino's forty-yard run after intercepting a Colonial pass was easily the most spectacular play of the day. Belmont was next and was vanquished 6-o. Lee, Warnack, and Bennett played games of All-City caliber. Manual was the next team to fall hefore the Mechanics. The final score was 14-6. A trick play from the ten-yard line scored the winning touchdown. The hreaks of the game were a decided factor when the Parrots dropped their first game of the season. A lucky pass in the fourth quarter scored the L. A. High touchdown that defeated Poly 7-o. The Mechanics lost their last two games of the league year to Fremont and Franklin hy the margin of a single touchdown. Due to the fact that many of the men were tenth graders, prospects are hright for a good team next season. At the close of the year Sam Waxman, halfhack, and Bennett, right guard, were selected on the mythical All-City team picked hy Coach Eddie Leahy. The following hoys were awarded letters: Landes, Bennett, Smith, Slover, Cole, Bachelew, Yirgilio, Warnack, Yates, Lee, Leigh-Taylor, Erickson, Yoon, Feiles, Hough, Wilson, Fujimoto, Waxman, Nardomarino, and Davis. Yzuel received a managers letter. 139 57132 rid Year azz' P051 Polytechnic's Golden Tornado under the tutelage of Coach Vovle Brennen and Assistant Coach Eddie Leahy enioyed a fairly successful season. After the smoke of battle had cleared from the city gridirons, Poly was found to be in fifth place. Six lettermen reported to Coach Brennen when the first call was issued for football candidates. They were Lott and Kudlac, ends, Ryan and Linares, tackles, Stawisky, guard, and Ralphs, halfback. Coach Brennen, using them as a nucleus, molded a team that improved steadily as the season went on and won a reputation for fight- ing every inch of the way. This spirit was especially true when the ball was in the shadow of the Poly goal. All but one touchdown scored on the Mechanics during the league year came as a direct result of a pass or a long run. The Golden Tor- nado played three practice games, losing two and tieing one. The varsity gridders bowed before Fremont 6 to o and Lincoln 7 to 6, mainly because second and third stringers were used in order to give every player a chance to show his wares. Lin- coln and Fremont later tied with Manual Arts for the Championship. The tie game was played with Venice and resulted in a scoreless deadlock. Trosltzects Twenty men were awarded letters at the end of the season. They were Lott, Ryan, Levinson, Stawisky, Fuqua, Yokomori, Linares, Folmer, Davis, Kudlac, Beckner, Stein, Kalionzes, Olson, Ralphs, Vignolo, Stutz, Williams, Reis, and McCallum. Kudlac at end, Davis at tackle, Stawisky and Yokomori at guard, Fuqua at center, and Ralphs, Olson, McCallum, Reis, and Stutz in the backfield, will return for the 1931 season, and around these men should be built a capable squad next season. Woods, Taylor, and Pierose at the wing berths, Lovejoy, Wieczorek, Palen, and Grcenburg at the tackles, Chavoor and Both at the pivot positiong and Langworthy, Greenwood, Fritchie, Kammerling, and Shadowen in the backfield, look to be the best ofthe reserves who will find places on the first string next season. Substitutes On every team there must be substitutes. They get the hard knocks of the scrim- mage and none of the glory that is popularly understood to be the share of the football player. A team must have good substitutes in order to achieve success. Coach Eddie Leahy's second team has taken the bumps and the bruises of the gridiron but has claimed none of the glory. They have been the laboratory of the varsity where the new plays are tried out and the old ones perfected. They have prepared the varsity for the competitions with other schools. So, substitutes, molders of teams, we salute you! Coaches Tribute is due Coaches Brennen and Leahy for their untiring efforts in forming a winning gridiron squad. Coach Brennen has the best record through the years of any coach in the City League. Win or lose, his teams have been noted for their fight and their clean play. Coach Leahy, besides his duties as varsity track mentor, has under his tutelage the reserves who will in time be the stars of the varsity. 140 f Varsity Casa ba Tossers During the 1930 31 season the fighting Golden Tornado quintet experienced one of the most successful seasons in recent years. Of the six league games played the Me- chanics emerged the victor in three and finished in a tie for fifth place in the first bas- ketball season of the newly formed twelve team City League. The team started slowly, losing to Fairfax, but displayed championship form to swamp the heavily favored Lincoln squad, LS-14, in the final contest of the six-game schedule. Coach Pop 'lesson coached and inspired the quintet. Marty Mills was the only returning letterman. l-lowever, Coach .lesson molded a team that had it received the breaks would have easily defeated the champion L. A. High Romans. The Romans were lucky to win ig-iv. in a contest that required an extra session. Captain Francis Smith, Marty Mills, John Shackleford, Lester Valley, Matt Stankovich, Frank Lane, Norman Duncan, and Leo Lerner were awarded their block 'P's' at the close of the season. George Burr was given a manager's letter. Francis Bart Smith, guard, was picked on the All-City five. Fairfax The Mechanics fought hard, but they were unable to stop the Colonials from win- ning their nineteenth consecutive league game. At the final whistle the score was 14-io in favor of the Lords. The Parrots missed many set-ups and close shots. Marty Mills was the high-point man for Poly with four digits. Nicholson, guard, starred for Fairfax. 141 ,Cb s A ugeles After Poly had led for three quarters a specter arose i11 the form ofCoflin, lanky Ro- man center, who sounded the death knell to Poly hopes. L. A. High won in an extra period mainly through Coflin's basket-making efforts. Collin scored the winning hucket on a lucky hlind shot from the middle of the floor. The shot was strangely reminiscent of the one made hy Bill Laird from his own foul line in the second extra quarter ofthe Poly-L..A. game in IQZO, and it marks the second consecutive time that Dame Fortune has smiled on the Romans. The Blue and Gold boys played over their heads and gave a hetter account of themselves than their foes. Mills ce11ter Smith, guard, and Shackleford, forward, played games of All-City caliber. 5 1 F rem ou L After losin Y two heart-hreakin contests, the Mechanics came throu h to trounce 235 Fremont I9-l 1 on New Year s Eve. The Parrots started off in a hurry and tallied seven points in the initial period hefore the Fremontians could get their hearings. The Me- chanics were not vressed at an Stal e of the encounter. Valley at forward Stanko- Y , , vich at the pivot position, and Shackleford at forward gave commendahle accounts of themselves. Captain Slack was the star of the Exlorer quintet. Jllfzu :ml A rts The purple-clad Toilet cagemen took the lead at the start of the ga111e and held it tenaciously throughout the contest to defeat the Golden Tornado five, I7-IL. I11- ability to sink free throws and close shots was the main reason for the Mechanic downfall. Valley led the Mechanic scorers with five poi11ts. Hardee, Artisan for- ward, was the hest man on the floor. The Parrots made a desperate attempt to rally in tl1e final period, hut their efforts fell short of the needed points. Qfnfeld The Bulldogs proved tame, and the Mechanic hoopsters won easily fl'0lll the Gar- field quintet, Q1-IO, on the Poly court. The Blue and Gold squad displayed smooth teamwork and ll deadeye for the hucket to outplay the Presidents in every department of the game. Poly piled up a heavy lead in the first half, and the outcome was never i11 doubt, ,C'i11col11.: The Mechanics continued their animal training activities hy upsetting tl1e Lincoln Tiger, 2.5-14, and closing their casaha campaign with a glorious victory. The Rail- splitters were favored, hut Poly showed championship form and won easily. Barney Cowan, All-City Lincoln scoring ace, was bottled up continually hy a strong Poly defense hut managed to score eight points for high scoring honors. Shackleford, Yal- ley, and Stankovich each chalked up seven digits to lead the Mechanic offensive at- tack. Marty Mills and Bart Smith came through with sterling defensive play. Poly held a decided edge in the play ofthe first two quarters. The score was I4-I in favor of the locals at half time. 141. Tho ,Uglatweiglal Cagefneiu City Champions! Polytechnic's lightweight basketball squad tied with the quintets of.lefl'erson and Hollywood for the first championship of the new City League. Each team won five of the six games played. Coached by Czzp Mahoney, the Bees enjoyed a good practice season and showed from the start that they were contenders for the league crown. The Parrots showed fine form but could nut score the baskets. They met their only defeat of the season at the hands ofthe Fairfax light. In a closely con- tested match, the Mechanics trounced the Roman babes, iz-1 1, in the second game of' the league year. Coach Mahoney used his shock troops to advantage in this en- counter. Ability to sink free throws netted the Parrots their second victory when they met the Fremont five. The final score was ig-iz. Sam Robman's long-distance shots were a great help when the Mechanics defeated Manual, 19-17, in a thrilling extra period contest. Noll tossed the oval through the hoop for the winning bucket. The Blue and Gold continued their victories by swamping Garfield, 15-I i. Captain .loc Nelson rang up twelve points for scoring honors. In the last game on the schedule, Lincoln was defeated 16-9. Poly took the lead at the start and held grimly to it throughout the encounter. At the close of the league season Captain Nelson and Shig Yasuda were picked on the mythical All-City lightweight squad. Captainlloe Nelson, Sam Robman, Aran Vaznaian, Shigeru Yasuda, George Noll, AI Friedman, Phil Klaren, Mick McCloskey, and Minio were awarded letters. Throughout the season the team showed a consistent brand of ball that was almost unbeatable, and Coach Mahoney is to be complimented on the splendid showing made by the Mechanics. 144 fa I Class C 73asQtball Experiencing one of the most successful seasons a Mechanic Class C lwaslcethall squad has had in many years, the Poly midgets went through practically the whole season without a defeat. With live victories to their credit in as many games, the Parrot Cees appeared well on their road to the City title when they were upset in their final encounter by the strong Lincoln quintet and wound up the season in second place. After winning all their practice games, the midgets in their league dehut met the Fairfax Colonials. Poly was the victor to the tune of a 23 9 score. The Romans from L.A. High were next on the schedule, and they were subdued, 13-4. Obregon, forward, was the star. Fremont was held to the lowest score of the year when they were alwle to sink but one field goal. Needless to say, the miniature Tornado won, 14-2. The Parrots had little difficulty in squelching the Manual Toilers in the fourth league game, 17-5. Polytechnic ran wild to score at ease and chalked up 28 to swamp the Garfield Bulldogs in the fifth encounter of the loop season. With the champion- ship within their grasp, the locals journeyed to Lincoln and were trounced, 20 14, in the final contest on the schedule. The powerful Mechanic attack failed to function and was the cause of the defeat. Coach Yoyle Brennen and Student Coach Ed Dillenheck were directly responsible for the success of the Blue and Gold melon tossers. Dillenheck took charge of the squad at the start of the semester and drilled them in the fundamentals. The emblem winners are: Captain Howard Slack, Filherto Obregon, Katsumi Uha, Arthur Millan, Louis Prokop, Nathan Carhart, Ralph Kristenson, Ralph Leppek, jefferson Howell, David Wasserman, and Bob Coppin. 143 . 6 4 N' 'W I C '!'! ' Varsity 'Duck 61-k6l7lL: Los Angeles City champions ! Polytechnic's undefeated track and field squad climaxed the most successful season since 1926 when they overcame two bad breaks, nosing out the strong Manual Arts varsity by a margin of a point to win the title in the greatest City Meet ever held in Los Angeles.

The Blue and Gold eight-man mile relay squad led the list of brilliant performances by breaking the world's interscholastic record of 3:OO.4, negotiating the distance in 2158.8 seconds. The record-smashing relay octet was composed of Hopson, Stanko- vich, B. Siegel. D. Siegel, Cassell, Olson, Ritchie, and LuValle. The Parrot baton- passing quartet of l-lopson, Olson, Ritchie, and LuValle unoflicially broke the South- ern California record in the four-man half-mile. The Parrots covered the distance in 1:28.5. The former Southern California record was 1:29, while the former school rec- ord was 1:32.4. Walt Hopson led the individual performers by shattering the school marks in both sprints. l-le ran the century in 9.8 and dashed the 220 in 21.7.

Frosh, the Poly Mechanics entered and met success in the Southern Pacific and City relay carni- vals. The Parrots' four-man 440 and eight-man mile baton-passers won their races in both meets. The time for the 440 in the Southern Pacific A.A.U. trackfest was 43.6, while the mile-men covered the four laps in 3:03.2. In the City Relays the quartet, composed of Hopson, Ritchie, Ralphs, and LuValle, lowered tlgeir time to 43 seconds flat. The eight-man mile team, composed of Hopson, Ralphs, Ritchie, D. Siegel, B. Siegel, Cassell, Olson, and LuValle, won their event in 3:00.8, breaking the school record. Polytechnic led the field with a score of 39 3-7 after the-last event was finished. Manual Arts, the nearest competitor, had a total of 21 6-7 points. Matt Stankovich cleared 12 feet, 6 1-2 inches to win with ease. Larsen and Henderson came through in the shot put to take third and fourth. ,firzcolfu The Lincoln Tiger proved to be easy meat for the Golden Tornado in the first dual contest of the City League season. The final score was 89 4-5 to 18 1-5. The outstand- ing performance wasjimmy LuValle's 49.8 quarter-mile. Matt Stankovich was high- point man with thirteen digits. He won the pole vault at 12 feet and the high hurdles in 16.8. He completed the afternoon by placing second behind Benny Siegel in the low sticks. Hopson, Ritchie, and Olson placed in that order to sweep the century. Hop- son also broke the tape first in the 220. Ritchie and Olson placed in a dead heat for second. Ritchie won the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet, 10 inches. Fernando Cam- pillo nosed out Seymour of the Bengals for first place in the mile run. cjllauual -- Fairfax A determined band of Mechanics descended upon Fairfax and Manual and proceeded to upset the Colonials and the Toilers. The final results of the triangular meet were: Poly, 49 1-24 Manual, 45, Fairfax, 35 1-2. The Blue and Gold relay squad shattered the world's record in the mile relay, but it was declared void when the track was meas- ured and found a few yards short. The time was 3 :00.3. The first upset of the day came when Walt Hopson, Poly speedster, nosed outjohn McCarthy of Fairfax in a 9.8 100. Matt Stankovich again took high-point honors with 13 digits. He won the high sticks in 15.8 to break the school record. Larsen, Henderson, and Abajian'took sec- ond, third, and fourth in the shot put. LuValle and Ralphs finished one-two in the quarter in 50.4 when Carl Satterfield of Manual chose to run the 880. 147 . J at Q, K ' EQ ry 16 gi .Qs f.

The Blue and Gold cinder artists continued their winning ways to clinch the city dual meet title hy downing the Hollywood Redshirts, 65 39, on the Footliiller oval. WalttHopson was the only dual winner for Poly when he took the two sprint events with ease. lHis times werex10.2 and 22.2, Harry Truesdale surprised for Hollywood hy nosing out Stankovich in the high hurdles. Stankovich, Sefton, and Rollins swept the hamhoo event at 11 feet, 6 inches. Keith won the high jump from Lilly who was re- puted to he a 6-foot iumper. Keith cleared 5 feet, 91-2 inches. ..CoseAugeles The iinx is dead. For twelve long years the Blue and 'Gold of Polytechnic had lwowed down in defeat on theicinderpath hefore the Blue and White of L.A. High. On Friday, April 17, the Golden Tornado swept over Housh Field and carried with it the tirst track victory over a Roman team since 1918. The final score was 62 1-3 to 41 2-3. Rome did not fall because of the weakness of its defenders hut rather through the strength ofthe opposi- tion. .limmy LuValle ran a great race in the quarter-mile to win in 49.5. Matt Stanko- vich broke the meet record in the pole vault when he cleared 12 feet, 8 inches. Stanko- vich and Siegel won the two hurdle races, the high and low hurdles, respectively. Bartholomew was a surprise second in the 880. Walt Hopson carried olflirst place victories in the 100 and 220. Dave Siegel heat out Bud Bates, highly-touted Roman, for second in the century. Olson and Siegel linislied in that order to place second and third in the furlong. Funk scored the only upset of the day when he shoved the iron pellet 45 feet, 6 1-2 inches to win. ISO Qty Meeb Although Lady Luck frowned on the Mechanic chances, the fighting Polytechnic varsity fought every inch of the way to win the first City Meet of the new twelve team City League. The leaders were Polytechnic, 33 7-10, Manual Arts, 32 2-10, Fair- fax, 22g Los Angeles, 21 7-10. The final result was in doubt until the relay, when the great Parrot eight-man mile octet set a new world's record of 2:58.8 to breast the tape a few yards ahead of Fairfax. Manual was third. The first bad break for the Mechan- ics came when the judges missed Dave Siegel in the 100 and gave fourth place to Os- borne of Manual. Siegel placed fifth. Walt Hopson contributed the most brilliant individual performance of the afternoon when he won the 100 in 9.9 and the 220 in 21.7. Hopson ran a beautiful furlong in the relay to lead the way toward the new rec- ord. Stankovich's stumble in the high sticks when he was leading with Tuttle of Franklin, and LuValle's fall in the 440 when he was fighting stride for stride with McCarthy of Fairfax supplied the other tough breaks for the Mechanics. Tuttle and McCarthy both went on to win their races. Benny Siegel was responsible for five points on the Poly side of the ledger when he took the low barriers in 24.6 to set an- other school mark. Matt Stankovich jack-knifed over the bar at 12 feet to win the pole vault. Sefton tied for third. Larsen shoved the iron ball for a fourth in the shot put. Ritchie leaped 21 feet, 10 inches for a fourth in the broad jump. Almada of L.A. High won with a jump of 23 feet, which eclipsed the former city record held by Sulli- van of the Romans. Ritchie donated a needed point to the cause when he placed fifth in the 220. Troy of the Parrots was the other point-winner, taking fifth in the bamboo ascension event. Carl Satterfield of the Artisans circled the oval to wrest victory in the 880 in the sensational time of 1 :57. C. Smith, veteran Hollywood miler, arrived late at the starting line but won in 4130.1 to lower the city mark by approximately four seconds. South em Calzforn ia M een With the four-man 880 relay squad shattering the world interscholastic record, the Golden Tornado went on to win the Southern California championship at the Olympic Stadium May 16. The Blue and Gold squad piled up 25 1-2 points to lead Manual Arts, which finished second with a total of 15 1-3. Long Beach, pre-meet favorite, was third with 13 1-2. The baton-passing quartet, composed of Walt Hopson, Ralph Olson, Cliff Ritchie, andjimniy LuValle, broke their own world record of 1128.9 when they covered the half-mile in 1:28.5. Walt Hopson came through with flying colors in the two dashes. He finished in second place behind Al Fitch of Pasadena in both races. The times were 10 flat and 22.5. Hopson is co-holder of the 100-yard record of 9.8 made in the preliminaries. jimmy ran a nice race to cross the hnish line behind Mc- Carthy of Fairfax in the exceptionally fast time of 48.9.

Cliff Ritchie jumped 21 feet, 7 inches for fifth place in the broad jump. Benny Siegel came up fast to take third in the low sticks. ISI ,a..i..- -.9 Class 73 Track The lightweight spikemen kept up the fine record compiled in past years when they won all five of their dual meets and took second ina tri-cornered cinderfest with Man- ual and Fairfax. Out of the twelve competing squads in the City Meet the Mechanics placed third with 241-10 points. Belmont was victorious with 35 5-10 digits. Giraz- ian of the Parrots starred in the City finals when he set records in the broad jump and the 220, and was runner-up in the 100. The mark for the hroad jump was 21 feet, 4 inches, while he amhled the furlong in 22.9. Owens lost a thriller to Stichter of LA. High in the 1320.

The Mechanics started their string of victories when they took on the Lincoln Tigers. The final tally was Poly, 73, Lincoln, 22. The tri- angular meet hetween Manual, Fairfax, and Poly ended with the Toilets enjoying a sizable lead. Manual won with 50 5-12. Poly was second with 35 1-3 to nose out Fair- fax, who finished with 33 1-4, The Mechanics swamped Hollywood, 64 31, in their third meet. For the first time in school history the Mechanics defeated the L.A. High Romans on the track and field. The score was 59- 38. .james Girazian, Frank Arikawa, Milton Haggerty, William Barrera, Victor King, Louis Grusman, Fred Von der Kuhlen, Harry Hough, Robert Dodds, Manuel Mason, Charles Owens, Charles Peralta, Delfin Johnson, and Bert Rewakwere awarded Class B emblems. Merrill Steinman received a managers letter. Iil 5' 'H Class C Track After losing three of their five league contests by small margins, the Mechanic midget cindermen upset the dope to take third place in the annual City Meet to finish in a blaze of glory what promised to be an average season. Spencer in the 660 and Sam Waxman in the broad jump were the best in the city in their respective events. Spencer holds the City Meet record of 1 :29.3 and set a new Southern California mark of 1 :27 in the preliminaries. The Parrakeets started the season with a victory by triumphing over the Lincoln Bengals, 44-33. Sam Waxman took individual honors by totaling fifteen points. He took first places in the shot put, the broad jump, and the 50-yard dash. Failure to win the relay was the cause of the Mechanic's defeat at the hands of the Manual Toilets in a triangular meet. Fairfax finished third. The totals were Man- ual, 41 1-2, Poly, 38, and Fairfax, 16 1-2. Waxman garnered three first places to again lead the individual scorers. A certain l-lerbelin was the margin between victory and defeat when the baby Tornado collided with the L.A. Roman. l-lerbelin ran off with the 100, the low hurdles, and won the relay all by himself. Tanaka recorded the fastest time by a Class C man in the city when he sprinted the distance in 5.4. Spencer came in for his customary first in the 660. Lack of strength in the dashes was the cause of defeat when the locals met the Hollywood Stars. The final score was 42 1-2 to 341-2. The trackfest withjefferson resulted in a victory for the Parrots by the tally of 47 to 30. Letter-winners were Sam Waxman, Leonard Spencer, Bruce Atkinson, Vernon Quin- by, Lewis Prokop, Lincoln Shimitzu, Tom Fuiimoto, Don johnson, S. R. Lanier, Massy Tanaka, andjesse Moses. Williamjustis was given a manager's emblem. 153 V R I' ' V I Q f ' I X4 ,J X. I ross- ozmtry Squad Poly's cross-country team did not have the best of luck during the past year, but through constant practice LII'lLlCI' the able direction of Coach Howard Earl, the squad developed a group ofsturdy runners for the approaching track season. In former years the meets usually have been held between halves of football games, but as none of the games were held at the Coliseum or at a field where a track was in Condition, all the meets took place as individual contests. In the annual match with L.A. the Romans came OLII on top, not because of greater power, but because of the inexperience of the Mechanic outfit. The score of the match was close but was never in doubt. ln two meets with Washington High the Parrots split with the Surveyors. Both of the meets were held at the Washington oval, but with able running by Stockbridge, Morris, and Whitehurst the team managed to win once. lt took the Mechanics only once to find themselves, but the once that they did their adversaries hid their faces in shame. Poly invaded Beverly Hills, which had supposedly a very strong team, but after the sun had set the Tartars were sorely beaten. Many of the men who began as nothing were developed into sterling tracksters of the coming season. Among those who competed on the squad the following made good: .Iohn Morris, Victor King, Harry Suhr, Sol Spector, and Tex Whitehurst. After the season had closed, Adviser Eddie Leahy awarded the following letters for endeavor: 'Iohn Morris, Charles W. Whitehurst, Sol Spector, Victor King, Tom Norris, Harold Stockbridge, and Coach Howard Earl. Of these Morris, King, and Spector return. 134 'Boys' Qym Club Polytechnic's sons of Hercules, more commonly known as the gym team, enjoyed a very successful season. In the first meet the local muscle men defeated the Alham- bra Moors, 4313. Lindberg was the high point man. The Southern California Tro- jan Frosh were sent home on the short end of the score, 45-17, in the second contest. The Parrots continued their winning ways by swamping the strong U.C.L.A. gym- nasts, 87.54455 The Franklin Panthers were snowed under a 96.5-35.5 score as the Mechanics otlicially opened the City League dual meet season. Although injured, Warnack starred with I3 digits. Lindberg made 13.5 to lead the Poly scorers. In the traditional Roman battle, the Mechanics kept their slate clean by downing the Gophers, 83.5-40.5. Gene Wald went up the zo-foot rope in 5.5 seconds for the out- standing performance of the day. Rankin of the Romans took high point honors. Twenty boys competed for the Mechanics on the gym team. They were jack War- nack, all-around, tumbling, and rings, Wendel Shaeffer, parallels, side and long horse, Florian Moore, rope and long horse, Pete Florio, clubs, Lloyd Berresford, parallels and long horse, Pat Hart, parallels, Walter Lindberg, all-around, Melvin Redhead, side horse, james Hagerty, rings, Reginald Anderson, side and long horse, Dave Pullman, tumbling, George Nazarian, horizontal bar, Hal Spencer, horizontal bar, .lack Skinner, horizontal bar, Jack Nelson, ropes, Charles Wright, ropes, Eugene Wald, ropes and rings, Arthur Newman, rings, Gene Neiman, tumbling and clubs, and Marc Chotard, ropes. Jim English acted in the capacity of manager. Due to the number of returning lettermen, Coach Burke is looking forward to another successful season in 1931. Jack Warnack and Walter Lindberg, all-around stars, will be back to bolster the squad. 155 VK rv T 9 .:fAs fr 9 O r 9 Tiff X f. ,.,. v XA , .

Two bus loads of girls and sponsors in cars, eighty in all, left Poly at 1 o'cloek. Arriving at their destination, the visitors were IT1Ct by a committee, who escorted them to the gym. The girls were then taken to the bleachers, where the president ofthe day cordially welcomed them to the school. A very interesting drill was given by the Band and Bugle Corps, which is an organization only George Washington High School has. Following the contests the visiting girls were taken to the beautiful quadrangle of the school where a dance program was given by the gym clubs of each of the four schools. The presidents ofeach G.A.A. were asked in turn to say a few words. After this pleasant get-together, the girls were served refreshments on the lawn. 133 4 Finsr Sismnsnza Mrs. Slnitli-AdviserN!ll,'!ff-fl F SECOND Sizmiesrisn Vivian Kokal President Marjorie Wolfe Mary David Lorene Kokal Dorothy Slager Frances Abbot Helen Mracek Leona Deel Gertrude johnson Gertrude Meyers Annabell Kellenberger Coaching ouncil Nine picked members constitute the Coaching Council, made up of girls who have line leadership and the ability to play well all the sports taught by the Seasonal Sports Class. This class is a regular first period gymnasium group. If the girls remain in this class a year and perfect their command of the major gamesfe-speedball, basketball, baseball they are eligible for the Coaching Council. The girls who have the most skill in leadership, pronounced ability to cooperate, and the genius to explain the rules to new members of the class are given the opportunity to prove themselves by being chosen to act in the Coaching Council.

This requirement is met by the Gym Club, the first established or- ganization in the girls' gym department. Special attention is given to rhythmic ex- pression of all forms, from the folk dance to the freer development of :esthetic move- ments. The girls ofthe club must meet certain requirements to maintain their membership. A high standard ofcharacter and scholarship is a chief requisite. Then they must be ready to serve the school as ushers for all of the girls' auditorium calls. On these oc- casions they are distinguished by the red band worn on the arm. Also, under the direc- tion of their adviser, Miss Ohman, they cooperate with other clubs in program num- bers for the student body. Notable among these was the happy interpretation of Spring Rebels for the Ionian Society, and specialty numbers on the programs of several skits and rallies. On play days they have done a full share of caring for the visiting schools, either by entertaining with interpretative numbers, or attending to more material details. ln addition to the regular routine of work there is a party which, according to tradition, is held at the beginning of each semester. 160 1 1 liiusr Siasiusnau Miss Fve Adviser Sisetmn Sizmiasrisn Peggy Mcilool President Edith Henderson lidirh Henderson Vice-President Emily Spellmever Clara Catuphuis Secretary Sherma Green Max' Heath Treasurer Edna De Vries Helen Dietrich Yell Leader Pauline Turner Outdoor Club ln September, 1913, the Outdoor Club had only one member. lt was at this time that the direction of the club was turned over to its present sponsor, Miss Pye. Since then this activity has progressed very rapidly through Miss Fye's hard and earnest efforts to make it a success. lt is now one of the best-known major clubs in the G.A.A. The object of the Outdoor Club is to create in Poly the ideal girl athlete by pro- moting friendship and good sportsmanship among the members. These girls are chosen for their athletic ability, their worthy character, and their spirit of coopera- tion. A girl IIILISI also have a high scholarship record and one term at Polytechnic before she is eligible to loin. At the beginning of each term, the club has tryouts for those who wish to join, and the new members are voted in by the old. Any girl in the school has the privilege of applying for membership. This organization is the only sport club that tries to bring relief to the needy at Christmas time. The girls donate food, clothing, and toys to one or two families each year, thus helping others as well as themselves. Une pleasant social event is the initiation party at the beginning ofeach term when new members are sworn in with hilarious ceremonies. The last event of the year is a farewell dinner given in honor of the graduating members who leave to their suc- cessors, with perhaps a sigh and a tear, the privileges they have faithfully guarded. 161 X, .51 'r FIRST SEMESTER Mrs. Smith-Y' Adviser Sztiosm SliMl4Sl'Fll Leona Deel President Ruth Rvnkols Ruth Rynkofs Secretary Alice Rowlev Alice Rowlev Treasurer Aileen Creusliau i e Club Hit where you aim. That means the hulls-eye, but it also means that the girls of the Rifle Cluh are going to attempt to hit where they aim all through life. These girls are steady of eye, clear of mind, and hne of touch, never llinching, never losing sight oftheir target. Any girl may try out for the cluh if she can meet the requirements. One does not need to know how to handle a gun, for the cluh teaches this and the precautions that one should ohserve while using the weapon. There isa limit of sixteen girls forthe INCID- hership, each heing chosen for character, score of tryouts, and scholarship record. No girl may come in or remain in the cluh who has failures or incompletes on her card. Besides the regular work, the cluh sponsors each semester a picnic outing at which time an initiation ceremony introduces the new members to their duties. Another event of importance comes at the Christmas season when the girls provide a program for the crippled children at the Orthopedic Hospital. The Rifle Team has been victorious in various matches this year. The girls com- peted with Manual Arts on hoth play days. Ruth Rynkofs made the highest score of ninety-live out of one hundred points, a line record for any rilleman who has heen shooting only a short time. The team as a whole won with twenty-two points higher than either Manual Arts orjefferson. 161 I . l 1 l f ' Q .

Polytechnic has very often had occasion to be thanl-:ful for its hospital and those girls who act as nurses. Any girls bruised on the field, or those upon whom fall the graver tragedies of sprains, burns, cuts, headaches, and what not, may get quick and cheerful lirst-aid from the nurses in this department. The girls who have had first-aid work and passed the course with a recommended grade tnay become nurses. Each must wear the white uniform and cap and hold rigorously to all sanitary precautions. One period a day of hospital service is required, with special duties in keeping the hospital clean, A record is filled out for each girl who comes in for treatment, giving the date, the illness, and aid rendered. To remain any time beyond the immediate treatment, the patient must have a permit from the head of the girls' gymnasium, Miss Ohman. The cap is a new detail of dress this year. Each girl embroiders on it the design, P.G.H. in blue, with a mortar and pestle, the hospital emblem, in gold. This ad- dition to the uniform completes the trim appearance of the nurses. A chief and assistant chief are elected at the beginning of each semester. It is their duty to see that the hospital rules are carried out each day and that the room is locked at night. They also promote the social functions which the group enjoys during the semester. This hospital work is a great help to any girl, but it especially benefits those who plan to become professional nurses after they have been graduated from high school. 165 lfiiisr SieMEs'rER Mrs. delleyere 'Adviser Siatorvn Si-:Mi-sri-.ii Phyllis Mitchel President Danicia Clalieh Katherine 'lamcs Yice-President Marie Roberts May Shaller Secretary Georgia Coleinan Yitginia Cliristoplierson Treasurer Madeline Rogeis H ockey Club lileven girls with one goalg girls who know how to wield a hockey stick and send the ball through that goal and how they do itl Perfect form, passing, and strokes, all for the honor of Polytechnic. The Hockey Club, sponsored by Mrs. dellevere, is composed oligirls chosen from the group taking hockey as a regular gymnasium work. They must have strong leader- ship qualities, a line idea of cooperation, a marked degree of skill in the game, and are required to maintain a good scholarship record. These girls act as squad leaders in the hockey class. They assist their coach in teaching the newly enrolled members to handle the sticks properly so that they will not be a dangerous element in the games. That this sport is popular is attested by the large number electing it each semester. Twice each year, in October and in March, the club sponsors a doughnut sale, the proceeds of which go to buy equipment which is used by the club members who pass on the old equipment to the regular group. Many new sticks and shin guards ate ap- pearing on the lield each semester as a result of these sales, The Hockey Club does not attempt social activities because the members do not meet except during the class period. Last term our proud players for the lirst time exhibited their maroon-colored sweat ers on the campus. An emblem of a winged foot in maroon and white decorates the at tractiye uniforms, The girls must work hard for the honor ofwearing these. 16.4 Mrs. Smith - Adviser Gertrude Meyers, Muriel Smith, Blanche Franklin, Virginia Christopherson, Betty Quackenhnsh, Frances Ahhnt, Eva Kish, Mollie Ncedal, Mary David, Mary Wolfe, Lorene Kokal Tumblers The Tumblers is a new group in Polytechnic. lt functions as an extra-curricular activity and meets on the regular club day, although the members have not organized as a cluh.

Among the various activities of the unit was the Armis- tice Day parade in conjunction with other high schools in the city. A little later the Drill Team was given the privilege of performing at various theaters besides taking part in recruiting activities by appearing at several junior high schools. The unit also enjoyed several horseback rides at various academies. The Big Bear trip, taken during the Thanksgiving vacation was another event welcomed by all who went. Mr. Ballou was sponsor on this occasion. The annual visit to San Pedro Harbor and Fort MacArthur came off during the spring term. The unit looked over the equipment, defensive and offensive works, and quarters. They went around the harbor and boarded one of the largest of the battle- ships, where naval ofiicers accompanied the cadets and explained the functions of the guns, defensive armor, airplanes, and power plants of the ships. The annual Federal inspection by Lieutenant-Colonel Pillow, appointed for the Ninth Corps Area, junior R.O.T.C. Division, was held in March. He was pleased with the inspection and review as well as with the practical and theoretical tests given ofiicers, non-commissioned ofiicers, and privates. In the fall semester the Drill Team was commanded by Lieutenants Dickinson and Lipman. The members were Sergeants Brisgill, Watson, Fichtel, and Priseler, Cor- porals Steinberger, lsenberg, Sumner, and Dalton, During the summer term Captain Lipman commanded the team. The members were Sergeants Brisgill, Isenberg, Dal- ton, Pilger, and Sumner, Corporals McCormick, Shand, and Tarson, Privates De May, Clark, Nelson, Clemmer, La Porte, and Wergles. Commissions, warrants, and medals were presented at an auditorium call held at the end of each term. Proficiency awards were earned by Lieutenant Lipman of Company A, most proficient ofiicer, Sergeant Myron Priseler of Company B, non-commissioned officer, and Private La Porte of Company B. The medals represent a great expenditure of time and energy. Medals for Field Day competitions were given to Lieutenant-jack C. Lipman for winning platoon competition, to Lieutenant Ralph Loeb for winning the saber manual contest, and to Sergeant Anthony Brisgill, Corporal Glenn Watson, and Private Larson, the winners in the manual-of-arms drill-down. Medals were also presented for the Field Day of the summer term. The Ofiicers' Proficiency award was won by Captain Jack C. Lipman of Company A. Corporal Larson won the non-commissioned ofiicers' medal, and Private Russek, the medal given to the most proficient private in the battalion. The last review was held in honor of the graduating cadets. The term ended with the regular tests for promotion. I 71 Jllemoriam.: The unit deeply regrets the passing of Colonel Elmer Wright Clark, the head of the R.O.T.C. units in Southern California. Colonel Clark was a true friend and helper. A worthy leader has been lost, one whose memory will remain in the hearts of the cadets. 169 STAFF COMPANY A FIRST PLATOON COMPANY A SECOND PLATOON 170 COMPANY B FIRST PLATOON DRILL TEAM BAND 171 9772 Dozzgloboys' Diary Summer vacation and camp fthe occasion of the year most looked-for by every Army man! Leaving the infantry at Poly, their goal is the Citizens' Military Training Camp, where machine guns, cavalry, field artillery, and other branches of the service are taken. A month of hard but joyous work at the Presidio in Monterey or at the camp at Del Monte then follows. Early every morning, the camp begins a day of hard riding or long marching in the surrounding country. On being dismissed follow- ing the evening parade at sunset, hungry soldiers suddenly swarm into the mess hall. At night one goes to Monterey and returns in time for taps. A good sleep and we are ready for more drill the next day. A month of work and pleasure, then the final re- view and f Good bye, Buddy, 'till next summer! By a long established precedent, of five years now, the Big Bear trip occurs during Thanksgiving vacation. This year Major Sanderson, w th Mr. Ballon, our faculty adviser, led about thirty cadets to the annual camp site. Tents were pitched under the pines near Peter Pan Lodge, and th: winter camp had begun. The company street was policed and preparations for the fires were made. In the evening the logs blazed merrily, and the fellows huddled close to the flames in order to keep warm, while the thermometer was at ten below zero. Hiking, riding, and sports occupied all the day and sharpened those keen appetites that taxed to the utmost all the culinary skill of officers who prepared the meals. At night scouting and patrolling games kept the camp lively. At ten o'clock silence reigned supreme save for the noise made by sleepy guards stirring up the fires. Woe betide any one of them who allowed the fires to die out! Thus four days of fun passed incredibly fast. At the end of the vacation, tired, hungry, but happy the cadets returned to town. lnljanuary, the officers' hall for the winter term was given. Bob Wickershain, W' go, Trucy Pratt, Sao, sang several numbers, and together with the Drill Team made the evening enjoyable. The winners of the prize dance were awarded miniature sabers. At twelve the dance floor was deserted, and the group reunited at the Hollywood Pig n' Whistle where a midnight supper terminated the winter army activities. As always, the summer ball was the outstanding social affair of the year. Both gyms were used and decorations, appropriate in color and arrangement, coupled with a good orchestra, made the evening a brilliant success. The Drill Team, commanded by Captain ,jack C. Lipman, presented a set of new acts which attracted the attention and admiration of both Polytechnic and the other schools represented. After the grand march, the victorious couple in the special prize dance were awarded their min- iature silver sabers. Then according to a long established custom the army members adjourned to Chinatown for a midnight supper, and the summei' ball became a fond memory. 172.

The theme was the romance of the founding of California, as an introduction to the Commencement theme, the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Los Angeles. The president of the Ionian Society, Paul Hogan, opened the assembly with a short address on the Land of Heart's Desire, after which the Stage Crew, under the direction of Mr. Winterburn, presented a tableau on the discovery ofCalifornia. The Spanish occupation was delightfully presented by talent picked from students and directed by the cabinet of the Ionian Society. The Girls' Gym Club, under the direction of Miss Ohman, gracefully interpreted a Baile, a representative dance of that period. The discovery ofgold, as shown by the Stage Crew in tableau, introduced the American period in California, which in turn was effectively represented by the Boys' Senior Glee Club, under the leadership of Mrs. Parsons. A very fitting close to the program came when a tableau simultaneously took us into the past and the future of our state.

ISL The Tombstone is still traditional, but this year it was honored more than ever before. At the rally on November 6 for the Poly-L.A. game, the auditorium was com- pletely darkened. Colored lights played on the tombstone, which had been placed on the stage. It is superfluous to add that the student body went wild. A comedy, El Criado Improvisado, was given by the Los l-lispanofilos Club January 20. Those taking part were jose Castillo, Bert Asencio, Hector-luarez, Betta Tirre, Manuel Castillo, Carmen Hagner, Esperanza Bribiesce, andlludith de Lario. The Spanish Club has just concluded a successful semester, the climax coming with the publishing of the last number of El Lorito, under the editorship of Gil Castro and Heriberto Vidales. To meet a demand, two thousand copies will be available for delegates of the National Education Association and students of Spanish in other schools. Judge Bledsoe, a prominent lawyer in our own city, spoke to us on February 12 in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday. The Constitutional Contest of April 10 proved intensely interesting as well as edu- cational. Much time was devoted to the study of the great document by the students participating. This was shown by the results obtained. Each student was allowed to choose his own phase of the subject. Consequently, topics of individual interest were selected, but these proved to be of universal interest as well. The program sponsored by The Optimist was unique and modern. The larger part of the skit took place in a broadcasting room, where Vernon Greenlaw and his or- chestra were entertaining. Several features, such as the introduction of foreign notables who spoke in their native tongues, were interspersed as specialty numbers. ln keeping with the dedication of the 1931 Polytechnic Student to the alumni, the theme of the Annual skit this year was Memory Lane. The past as reviewed before our eyes proved interesting and amusing. We saw ourselves as we would have looked live, ten, twenty, and thirty years ago. Each age was represented by some characteristic Costume or activity. Our present era appeared in very pleasing, up-to-date dances. The program was cleverly brought to a close when an Austin was driven upon the stage heaped with Annuals which were distributed in the grand iinale. Members of the Cercle Francais delleanne d'Arc presented scenes from the well- known Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon May 19. Those who participated were Louise Fitzgerald, Rubelle Mandelcorn, Clara Mungio, Susie Peluso, Ruth Riggs, Eleanora Van Ingen, Martin Arvey, Salvaro Allangoiz, Arthur Tirrade, Hector Tate, Elmer Metzger, Samuel Margolin. Much of the play's success was due to the efforts of Eleanora Van Ingen, secretary. 183 v WWLAWWIMEW V ' ' 4 P . l-' - - 133 Follies of Summer Thirty-Ono lorence Youngs chief folly is whistling the Farm Relief song, A Loan at Last' iight Chuck Fife to throw gum in the streets to trap unsuspecting Austins? ouise Fitzgerald thinks noodle soup is a kind of shampoo. eo Stein sullers from auto-intoxication. lt takes place in the Aud during home room. da Takeuchi thinks Fuiiyania is a Senior Bee. d Robinson is somewhat of a vegetarian.

To Miss MetkifT, Miss Kjelland, Mr. Pearson, and Mr. Ives, the editor extends his sincere appreciation for the earnest efforts and generous assistance they so willingly rendered. Working with a staff as diligent and as competent as this staff' has proved to be, was indeed a privilege and a pleasure. Their earnest de- sire to make a hook representative of Polytechnic life and their able cooperation created a pleasant atmosphere for our daily tasks, while their light-hearted yet serious dispositions added to the felicity of our social gatherings. Being chosen for their outstanding abilities in their respective departments is evident proof that the purpose of an Annual representative of Polytechnic life has been accomplished. The Annual program for this term was highly enjoyed by the student body. The editor wishes to thank Miss Wells, Miss Ohman, Miss Pye, Miss Phillips, and those who participated under their direction, forthe time and effort they gave in composing and producing a skit so repre- sentative of the Polytechnic Student. Last but by no means least, the editor takes this opportunity to ex- press his deep appreciation of the loyal support and willing coopera- tion of the student body which made possible this publication of the Polytechnic Student.
