High school days are re- membered with keen pleasure, for they are full of absorbing activities of both work and play. The Annual is a record of these activities designed to prompt the memory with facts recorded in text and in pictures. We are presenting a cross section of school life — something to recall to you the faculty, the mighty Seniors, and the humbler aspirants for the diploma; something to remind you of friendships and achievements. Summaries of organizations and sports have been included in acknowledgment of these popular activities. The good times in our auditorium and around school are also set down in a calendar, to serve as a vivid reminder of the past year. The creative work of the school in art, literature, music, and drama represented throughout the book cannot fail to stimulate us and increase our pride in the talent of our student body. Having completed the work of compiling this valuable data, the staff presents The Polytechnic Student to you, the faculty and the students, in the hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as the staff has enjoyed making it ready for you. Wendell White, Editor, The Polytechnic Student ir A lit Tiir r A« u Linr 4  ii I J inir I Air lo J Appreciation is the expression every one can use to indicate his attitude toward the opportunity af- forded him to secure a high school education. The one who really endeavors to repay the debt he owes, retains a keen interest in the school from which he has received his diploma. Working for his Alma Mater in par- ticular, he helps to build up a higher standard for education in general. He develops a finer civic pride. He becomes a worthwhile citizen, a vital force in his com- munity. He justifies the claim that the school trains for citizenship. W. A. Dunn, Principal A question which comes to the mind of every thinking student towards the end of his high school years is, How can I show to society my appreciation of this opportunity for an education? ' He cannot, if he has a sense of honor, avoid this question. He cannot receive so much and give nothing in return. He knows also that his gratitude, if it is to mean anything, must be expressed in actions, not in words. Step by step, then, he reaches his decision. He finds that these actions cannot be direct; he cannot in any practical way return, dollar for dollar, the cost of his education. Now he is ready for the one answer to his question. He comes to the inevitable conclusion that only by doing his best to serve his fellowmen through honest, just, progressive living can he give full pajTnent for value received. William Camphuis, President. A.S.B.O. S ' 33 Along with the new deal in economics and in politics comes the new deal in education. A strong movement is on foot to do away with the traditional method of dividing mathematics, history, science, lan- guages, music, art, and vocational work into separate compartments. Integration, or fusing of subjects, is the new plan. Each year a different civilization will be taken up and ex- plored, and the ideas and ideals and ac:omplishments of a people will serve as training in all the branches now taught separately. This will bring the process of education a little nearer to the experiences of life. Adsle Humphrey, Vice-Princijial Man has always reverenced learning and looked up to the scholar as a leader. This is because knowledge gives man a comprehension of the activi- ties of the world about him. He can direct affairs wisely only through under- standing them. We picture the educated man as tolerant, unselfish, law- abiding, and impartial. In comparison, Addison, wise observer of life, likens the uneducated human soul to marble in a quarry, possessing none of the beautiful qualities until it has been highly polished, to bring out its color and lustre. The educated man is able to use his knowledge as a tool to shape prog- ress, and in doing so, he is of assistance to the group. The whole purpose of living is service to the community. This is made possible through education. Understanding through education is the ideal of the schools, which train us for the service that the world needs. Virginia Hoffman, President. Scholarship Society, W ' 33 ■ Freedom and order tend to limit each other. Increase of freedom re- laxes the existing order, while order grows by restricting freedom. Only with increase of character and intel- hgence can freedom and order in- crease together. The above state- ment carries with it much of value in the idea of self - government whether we are thinking in terms of self-government in high school or in the larger spheres of state and na- tional government. We have been hearing for some time of the taking away of personal liberties. Men as well as boys and girls frequently do not realize the need of increase of character and intelligence in order to keep freedom when once obtained. J. G. GooDSELL, Vice-Principal What is self-government? It is that which makes possible the American Dream, the conception of a land in which life is rich in opportunity for every man in proportion to his ability. But the dream is of no value if it is not given concrete form through appropriate action. Whether or not it is fulfilled de- pends fundamentally upon the individual. He has to know that such an achievement implies sacrifice of personal ambitions and liberties for the good of all. A government may be successfully managed by the people it governs only if those people maintain a high standard of thought and action, are suffi- ciently experienced in the practical problems of democracy, and are willing to assimie the responsibility of making their government function. The peo- ple must learn how to govern. There is no more important place for this train- ing than the modern high school with its organized systems of student govern- ment. Eugene Stones, President, Boys ' Self -Government, S ' 33 There are 487,000 words in the new Webster ' s Unabridged Diction- ary. We in our expression and thought require this enormous num- ber of words representing separate and distinct ideas in order to think and express ourselves adequately. Poverty in English is inexcusable with this wonderful array of terms at hand to facilitate a variety of ex- pression. Poverty in thought is like- wise out of place for the same rea- son. Still we find persons who use one word that has but one meaning to express a score of ideas. Nice, for example, is applied as a descrip- tive term for a man, a woman, a girl, a boy, a time, a party, an excursion, a picnic, or a pie. The poor in Eng- lish we have with us always. And it is so unnecessary. E. B. Couch, Registrar m P ■1 r F. :_ . 1 ff ' W - ' m • ■ ' ■ ' 3 fc ' - ' iiii ' llifc ' i ' ' ' ' ■ ., ' 1 ■ •■■. .■■-v.. ' ■ ' •■. - !! A strange, beautiful fabric woven from the threads of love and hate, grief and mirth, wisdom and folly: this is life. There is so much of mystery in our infinite universe and so little of understanding, so much of groping after mean- ings and finding none, that for bewildered youth all existence resolves itself into a confusion of emotions. When life ' s skeins become so tangled and twisted that in pausing to straighten them we lose sense of the whole wonderful pat- tern, we turn to those with the supreme gift of vision. We seek interpreta- tion from the teacher — the musician, the poet, the scientist, the philosopher. To him we look for the inspiration that shows us the great scheme of things. The fullness of our appreciation of life depends upon the guidance of him who finds a glorious service to perform in a turbulent world, the service of leading us into understanding.

A cabinet, composed of the leaders of the various primary organizations in the school, heads the A.S.B.O. and is directed by an elected president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. While most of the school entertainments are sponsored by an individual primary group, the A.S.B.O. occasionally presents a program or dance for the purpose of raising money for welfare work. A cooperative plan by which the students unite to maintain discipline and order in the school comes under the head of Self-Goverixment. This system is administered by a cabinet and a large group of representatives who serve on duty in the halls throughout the day. Polytechnic has two league organizations, the Girls ' League and the Boys ' League, which undertake relief and welfare work by sponsoring pay enter- tainments. These leagues also provide free assemblies, presenting many speak- ers of note. High scholarship is recognized at Polytechnic through membership in Chap- ter 57 of the California Scholarship Federation. The local organization is headed by a cabinet and a council, which plan the meetings and social func- tions. The society awards seals for the diplomas of graduates who have been members for three-fourths of their high school careers. Grades in citizenship are determined through the governance of a merit system at Polytechnic. Under this plan merits are gained for participation in extra-curricular activities, or lost by the violation of school rules. To insure the just administration of the system, a Merit Board hears and passes judg- ment on appeals made by pupils for reconsideration in the meting of demerits. A Junior-Senior organization, the Ionian Society, is prominent in the pre- sentation of holiday programs. Several original and interesting assemblies have been sponsored by the Ionian cabinet during the past year, with a fine array of talent appearing in each. The finances of the various clubs and organizations of Polytechnic are taken care of through a central group known as the Board of Finance. This is an elective board led by an adviser and a president. The Students ' Store is man- aged and controlled under the auspices of the board members. The advertisement of school entertainments and enterprises is ably handled by the Board of Publicity. Clever and artistic posters displayed in the halls throughout the school year testify to the fine quality of work done. Students and faculty members alike are enabled to keep in touch with every school activity through the agency of The Poly Optimist, published weekly, and The Polytechnic Student, the year book. 27 F!RST SEMESTER Sol Spector Rosemarie Mabbutt Lucille McCauley Tom Jcpp; r.soii IONIAN SOCIETY Miss C.

Farewell, Tolytechnic With one adventure completed, we who call ourselves the Vikings set forth upon another, a venture on the Sea of Life. We face our voyage fearlessly, for in your calm harbor our crew has gained Wisdom, has learned Courage, has been instilled with Loyalty. Our ship is strengthened by Faith, and our sails are set with Ambition. Our ideal shines before us, Victory with Honor. As you send us on our way, our hearts breathe one resolve: we will justify your gifts, we will crest the breaking waves to reach home port acclaimed as Viking conquerors, and our spirits will turn in humble gratitude to you. iriHiiE ▼iiiiKiiyiipiiii WJ3 Saga of the Vikings Odin made decree that a company of Vikings should appear before him to answer certain charges. Proudly they stood, arrayed in glorious colors of green and bright silver. Despite binding chains, their eyes flashed uncon- quered, and their bearing expressed hope and confidence. Speak, you who are accused, and defend yourselves, commanded Odin. Then answered Conrad the Great, leader of the Vikings, Of what are we accused? Of unseasoned youth, ignorance of the ways of men, receipt of unwar- ranted merit, and philandering in the matter of time. If this be all, oh sovereign, spake Conrad in straightforward fashion, we can show the charges to be false. You say that we are unseasoned youth. In denial of such accusation we tell you of the battles in which we have been vic- torious with these other warriors of Polytechnic. Bards sing of our prowess in skate- roll relays, and ball-basket contests. Too, we have earned the right of placing the Scholarship crown on our heads. Are not these victories proof of worthy manhood? Yes, replied Odin warily, but what say you of these other chai-ges? Conrad, the worthy thane, continued. You declare us ignorant of the ways of men. Surely you have heard of our renowned singers, our tuneful players on instruments, our speakers of noble words. Think also of those among us who wear the great ' P, ' warriors numerous as the falling leaves of autumn. Then, too, we boast our wise leaders in council, in learning. In all our battle- hardy band of sword-wielders there is no one, maiden or bachelor-man, but who is worthily accomplished. Does not this prove that our merit is war- ranted, and that our time has not been thrown to the winds? Verily, verily, exclaimed the omnipotent one, it is I who have been de- ceived. With gracious gestures he gave command. Strike from these valiant bearers of arms their chains of dishonour and restore them to their rightful inheritance, for they have proved themselves innocent. I proclaim that they have passed into manhood. In token of my good will, brave Vikings, I give you leave to ask for one thing you desire above all else. Most mighty Odin, spoke the triumphant Conrad, we ask only that our deeds be immortalized in the written word. It shall be, answered Odin whole-heartedly. I will bid the great bard, Shakespeare, to work so well that you shall never be forgotten. He shall de- vise for each of your names some masterpiece which will extoll you worthily for all time. The gods speed you now upon your valiant way. Mid clashing shields and brandished spears the warriors bade wise Odin farewell. They returned to their homeland, there to perform deeds worthy of noble Vikings. —Irene Haney, W ' 33. 36 Mrs. Fennessy Conrad Walker Margaret Lynch Mr. Sunderlin Adviser President Vice-President Adviser George French Margaret Maupin Treasurer Secretary ASSISTING OFFICERS Marcella Kniei-im Treasurer Evelyn Stoll, Bennie Siegel Athletic Managers Hugh Brundage, Ross Hamilton Yell Leaders Pauline Downs, Sam Barowitz Optimist Chairmen Elizabeth Settles, Erwin Devron Roll Call Chairmen Jim McCallum Social Chairman CLASS COMMITTEES motion pictures Edgar Wanczuk Charlotte Smith Jeannette Walker Lou Ann Pierose Lawrence Moon Lorn Steinberger sweaters and emblems Faith Hodgdon Bob Post George French CLASS GIFT Jim Stutz Rosemarie Mabbutt Bernie Allen Anton Pierose ANNOUNCEMENTS Jeanette Jacobs Alice Robertson Leigh Knight Mc Verne Price Charles Winch CLASS SONG Jean Spencer Erwin Devron Helen Halas GRADUATION APPAREL Beulah Hoffman Millicent Timpany Ed Both Pauline Burr Keith Rathbun Bert Barron CLASS PLAY Lou Ann Pierose Elizabeth Turman James Farmer Hugh Brundage Leon Truesdell FLOWERS Doris Hirst Sadie Chavoor Eunice Mahoney Muriel Woodland 37 WINTER 1933 Edward Abajian He smiles his face into more lines than is in the map.

These, too, are the ideals that we who call ourselves the Spar- tan Class have taken for our own; and you, Polytechnic, are the Spartan mother who sends us forth to fight and win our individual battles, strengthened each one by your faith and love. We will win in our undertakings, win fairly and honorably; and when we have achieved success you shall share it, just as you have shared your all with us. iiiniHiE iiiPAiBirAiyii iirssf WJe Spirit of the Spartans Return with your shield or on it, commanded Polytechnic, mother of noble youth. To each of her Spartan children she spoke that they might know her high hope. Go forward on your quest for education with an unwavering spirit and a determination to win. Through all your battles let this ideal of the sages be your motto, ' Try, trust, and triumph. ' With steady hands and eager eyes the youthful heroes took the gift of their Alma Mater and set out to overcome all obstacles that stood between them and their goal. For three years they marched steadily onward, gaining vic- tory after victory. No difficulty was allowed to impede their progress, for the firm, uniform step of the hardy warriors was not to be checked. The gallant Spartans felt the need of celebrating their triumphs with bril- liant displays, so they chose the lustrous colors of canary yellow and brown to adorn their sh ields. During the many contests in which the mighty Ayes par- ticipated, these colors ever waved high, regally challenging all. The young warriors reveled in their successful ventures, but graciously accepted hon- orable defeats. At the close of the third year the entire group again assembled before their proud mother, happy to display their laurels. She welcomed them with words of praise. My children, my heart is filled with pride. As young, inexpe- rienced boys and girls, you entered into the quest for education, striving valiantly to gain what knowledge you could; now you return to me — con- querors. You have faithfully, loyally upheld the traditions of my old and reverend name, and your hope to take Victory with Honor has been fulfilled. Three years my prayers have protected you while you have advanced in your efforts to gain success. Now I would know of your achievements, and I bid your chosen leader to recount some of your great adventures. Honorable Alma Mater, began the noble Sefton, my brave companions have entered into many fields of activity, each endeavoring to make the fruits of his labor a benefit to mankind and himself. From out of our ranks of scholars we have chosen nine who are outstanding, and have bestowed upon them the title of ' Ephebian. ' Our athletic record is an enviable one. We have in our midst orators, singers, musicians, and representatives of diversified sub- jects. With all regard to modesty I feel justified in saying it is an excellent band. Ay, my son, an excellent band, assented the mother, and for your worthy deeds I reward you with the highest of honors — the diploma. Your coura- geous spirit has led you to the first milestone of success, graduation; with the title of ' Poly Alumni ' you will continue to march to greater heights, and all shields shall bear the one inscription, ' Brave Spartan.

Dear Alma Mater, we owe you A debt untold. 79 Toly Tarade On Flower Street where Hope runs down to meet Washington Boulevard stands Polytechnic High School at Los Angeles, known to most as Poly, and to a chosen few as Alma Mater. The immediate locality is densely populated by Senior A ' s. This form of Polytechnic life is subject to most astonishing changes. In dull October and again in February, when everyone and everything should be drab and down- cast, the Seniors burst into magnificence with a full regalia of brilliant sweat- ers. This sudden metamorphosis is celebrated with a march through the cafe- teria grounds to the discordant accompaniment of a monstrous bass drum. A very obvious superiority complex develops and breaks into an alarming tilt to the nose, but as no serious accidents have resulted from this overstimulation of the trapezius, it is allowed to run its course. These same Seniors are some- times recognized by a sad, far-away smile. This is when they have received an A in econ and are musing on the futility of further study and the ignorance that surrounds them. As June draws near, they are afflicted with a desire to impart much fatherly advice and are generous with their patronage. Finally, they gather together, subdued and always somewhat tearful, to mount the aud stage and graduate with a last sorrowful gesture. The middle classmen are the tradition-makers of Poly. They wear doubtful cords, whistle in the halls, cheer in the aud, shout at the games, leave their papers on the grass, form the bulk of the track, football, and mixer fans, and drive old Fords with the Poly emblem on the radiator cap. They may be easily recognized by peculiar eruptions on the posterior portion of their jackets, popularly diagnosed as parrots. These classmen are the real back- bone of Poly. They usually require a year to reach their full growth, when they spring forth as Seniors to take the places of those who have departed. Most numerous of the student life are the lower classmen, who form the most interesting stratum of Polytechnic society. They are at what might be described as the amoebic stage of development. They may be easily found, for they are distinguished by a certain blankness of expression when confronted by an upperclassman. At first they seem to be very sprawly, mostly legs, but upon closer examination their resemblance to an ordinary person is discernible. In this period of their life they stand in line and wait their turn to petition meekly for a hot dog, and they also study their lessons diligently. Later, how- ever, they conquer this weakness and become almost normal. And so Polytechnic lives on, the answer to those who may happen to ask, What school did you go to? Was it a good one? How about an athletic record? To these we proudly point out the case of trophies and the pennants in the front hall. To these we proudly quote the motto, Victory With Honor. And then with eyes alight we raise our voices and chant in unison, Polytech- nic, Alma Mater, we love thee! — Gerald Baccus, S ' 34 80 huy r i..

The Commerce Club, representing the largest membership of any group in the school, studies the industrial development of Los Angeles in the practical way of weekly excursions to factories and business concerns. Closer relationships among the Japanese students are brought about through the meetings and social affairs of the Japanese Club. The Architectural Society concerns itself with house and building planning. The group hears speakers, views pictures, and sponsors exhibits. The Ushers at Polytechnic perform the useful service of maintaining order in the auditorium, as well as directing the seating of the audience. The development of athletic prowess and participating in interscholastic gym meets are the main interests of the Boys ' Gym Club. Lovely tone and harmony is the achievement of the A Cappella Choir at Polytechnic. This group specializes in singing without accompaniment. Art has its moments when the Book Illustration Club meets daily. The members create pictures of high merit. Mapping and surveying pupils have formed the Civil Engineering Society, a club which takes interesting trips in furtherance of their knowledge. Experience in developing and printing pictures is gained by the members of the Camera Club. Each semester the club awards prizes for achievement. The Aviation Club makes trips to airports, views pictures, and hears talks on flying. Affiliated with the Y.M.C.A., the Poly Hi Y is symbolic of fine young man- hood. The members have many constructive programs. Students who have shown definite dramatic ability are privileged to join the Mask and Sandal Club, a group which gains acting experience through the presentation of plays. Polytechnic is proud of its orchestra, composed of the school ' s best mu- sicians, whose fine earnest work is much appreciated. The Girls ' Junior and Senior Glee Clubs are favorite organizations. These clubs meet daily for study and practice. Colorful tunes and sweaters distinguish the Boys ' Senior Glee, a most popu- lar club. The boys sing during assemblies at Poly and at other schools. During the fall football season, the Poly band contributes to the spirit of the school by playing pep songs at games and rallies. Taking care of the fire apparatus, directing fire drills, and maintaining the general safety of the school are the important functions of the Fire Department. Banded together as the Poly Knights, the masculine leaders of Polytechnic set an example for the students by upholding the ideals of the school. 99 100 PROJECTION CLUB FIRST SEMESTER Mr. Twining — Adviser second semester Lawrence Moon President Kenneth Parker Lloyd Sherman Manager Lloyd Sherman Kenneth Parker Secretary Wallace Ketchum The Poly Projectionists are a group of students who offer a definite prac- tical service to the school, for these boys make it possible for the student body to view motion pictures in the auditorium and classrooms. The Projectionists must obtain licenses from the Board of Education before they can project pic- tures upon the screen. STUDENT STORE MEMBERS first semester Mr. Dwinell — Adviser second semester Helen Stone Joe McNeilly Martin Arvey Helen Stone Kenneth Lowry Kenneth Lowry Mercedes Bishop Charles Lucas School supplies are procured and sold to the students at reasonable prices by the Polytechnic Students ' Store. This store is under the supervision of the Board of Finance, and serves for the convenience of the students rather than for profit. BOARD OF PUBLICITY first semester Mr. Dwinell — Adviser second semester Nark Kim President Dick Robson Helen Mracek Manager Helen Mracek The cleverly designed posters which advertise the entertainments and events at Polytechnic are products of the Board of Publicity, a selected group which has proved its artistic talent. Nearly every organization in school has re- ceived service from this board, and the drawings it produces have delighted every student. BOYS ' JUNIOR GLEE CLUB (Selected Members) FIRST semester Mrs. Parsons — Adviser second semester Warren Brooks President Edmund Galindo Herman Morhar Vice-President Parker Kenner Bob Sartain Secretary-Treasurer Eugene Evans Correct breathing, good diction, clear tone quality, and accuracy of pitch are the aims of the Boys ' Junior Glee Club members. The boys meet daily and work hard on songs to be rendered before the student body. 101 102 FIRST SEMESTER Katharine Burgess Helen Flesh Dorothy Williams PLAYLET CLUB Miss Randolph — Adviser President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer SECOND SEMESTER Loretta McCullum Claire Mathieu Millicent Carlson Opportunity has come to Polytechnic ' s young Thespians in the form of the Playlet Club.

The members visit elec- trical plants and dams, and frequently hear worthwhile talks by experts in this subject. 103 To a MissJoji-! Soft curves thy shadowed arch, Soft falls the filtered gold That through the olive leaves Fell soft, fell warm of old. O bells that clearly chimed. Wild hearts from darkness calling, Your deep, clear, sweet re- soundings Are stilled, no more en- thralling. Great hearts conceived thee. Mission; Their deeds in glory shine. A monument, you linger — A CaHfornia shrine. — Betty Yungling, W ' 34 DeserLi Great gilded shafts of sun Part blue infinitude And fire the dunes of sand. Grim Desert ' s shifting brood. Thy thorny sons of drought. The cactus ' many lances Guard well its scanty prize From dry-lipped heat ' s ad- vances. Jagged peaks distort horizons; Lean life on gaunt wings swoops. O Desert, starved and scorched, Lush beauty to thine own stoops. — Betty Yungling, W ' 34 Once they were the pride of the American Merchant Marine. Today they rot in stagnant bays, forgotten by all but the most venerable of salts. The clippers of yesterday rear their bare and naked masts and spars against the sunset sky as though to form their own gravestones. In the distance looms the nemesis of the sailing vessel, the towering steel le- viathan. No longer will the beautiful sight of the eagle of the sea, wings spread for flight, stir our souls. The desolate relics of the golden days of romance dream away their few re- maining years in quiet harbors, whose waters shall sometime be their last resting place. — Robert Huntoon, W ' 33 Contrast . . . springing suddenly from smooth fields and glowing gar- dens rise a thousand monsters of in- dustry, oil wells. Blackened monu- ments to the machine age, they groan and shudder in the throes of pro- duction. Probing arms grope down- ward to steal the rich earth ' s treas- ure. Thick smoke belches from the derricks as the ceaseless hammer pounds its rhythmic beat. Brooding pools of oil, strangely still, mirror pulsing, breathing movement. Ant men creep about, animated bits of machinery, dwarfed by the giants around them. Contrast . . . smooth fields and glowing gardens slope away from the hill of oil. — Lillian Wihlborg, S ' 33 PAiBiir ▼ m AiriHiLiEiincii A Clarence Mahoney COACHES Eddie Leahy JJTe Thyskal Sducation Departments Polytechnic students have been fortunate in having a worthy group of coaches in the Department of Physical Education. Many championship teams representing every major sport at Poly have repeatedly been turned out in the past years. The members of the staff conduct the daily classes in addition to coaching the various interscholastic sports. Early in the year Mr. John C. Burke, head of the gym department, was made assistant director of health and physical education in the city system. Mr. Brennen takes over his duties as department chairman. Coach Glenn Berry, newest addition to the athletic mentors, directs the gym team previously coached by Mr. Burke, and also assists Eddie Leahy as track trainer. Athletic Field A great improvement of the Poly c ampus came this year with the enlarging of the athletic field. Twenty-first Street was subsidized as school property, changed from a thoroughfare which previously separated the gym lot from the rest of the campus, and added to the school grounds. The transformation of the field into its present condition did not affect the length of the track very much, but the added width and the different position of the track leaves room for bleachers on the south side, and for any permanent grandstand which may be erected in the future. Minor Sports Preceding the opening of the track season, an interclass trackfest is held to determine new material which would otherwise not be associated with the 108 Golden Tornado track team. Awards are given to the winners, and they are encoui-aged to join the cinder athletes. Each year the Boys ' League sponsors several sport events in addition to the regular interscholastic track meets. A basketball league is formed and the winners are declared after a series of strenuous battles. The various basket- ball lettermen captain these individual teams, and a great deal of enthusiasm is shown throughout the contests. Besides the two contests mentioned, the league sponsors baseball games, which are opened to all boys of the school. The teams are chosen by the Boys ' League cabinet from the names submitted. To prevent confusion the teams are divided into the American League and the National League. Final contests of the year are in wrestling bouts. The en- trants are classed according to weight, and the tournament is played on an elimination schedule. As the last two contests are not majoj- sports, they are much appreciated since they give a chance to the many boys especially in- terested in them.

When the Me- chanics took to the air, their unexpected attack against the fighting Sentinels showed the unusual strength of Coach Brennen ' s grid machine. In the third quarter, after a drive to Belmont ' s 15-yard line, Waxman made a short pass to Gipple, who made the first tally of the season. The additional point was not scored. In the fourth quarter, a pass was technically completed because of interference with the receiver, a bad break for Belmont which seemed to discourage her players. Shortly after, Cory took a short pass from Reis and crossed the goal line. A line plunge made good the conversion, which was the final score. The determined Green-shirts held the local squad to a standstill throughout the remaining part of the encounter. 110 Tolytechuic versus Hollywood Showing an impenetrable defense and enfoi ' cing a driving, slashing offensive attack, the Poly varsity chalked up its second victory over a fighting Holly- wood eleven by a score of 6—0. The first part of the game was in favor of Hollywood, but the playing slowed down in the second half. Beautiful block- ing was displayed, giving a scoring chance for the Mechanics. A touchdown drive began as Poly took the ball on the 31-yard line of the Sheiks by virtue of an intercepted pass. From here, the sturdy arm of Reis tossed the pelota into the waiting grasp of Cory, who was thrown outside on the 1-yard line. After three plays, the oval was back on the 10-yard line. On the fourth down, Taylor snagged a pass and crossed the zero mark for the only score of the contest. The extra point was not made. Within the next minute the game ended. In the opinion of Coach Brennen this was the toughest fight of the season. Tolytechuic versus Frauklni The Parrots showed a superiority over the Printer squad, which fought hard, but was unable to hold the ferocious strength of the home team to a stand. Honors were shared equally by Maxham, Jones, J. Taylor, and Cory, who each had chances to handle the pelota, and they showed great strategy. Poly ' s line plays were unusually strong. Thrills kept the grandstand tense through- out the game. Jones, intercepting a pass in the third quarter, and with the aid of some very fine blocking, moved the score up six more points, making the result of the fracas 27—0 in favor of the Mechanic team. It was the fourth victory, and the locals had not been scored upon so far in the season. It was the only game played at home, though several were scheduled for Dunn Field. This game was hard fought and well earned. Tolytechuic versus Jefferson The sphere-carriers from the local institution played a heads-up game, with the Jefferson Democrats on the losing end. An aerial attack was dominant throughout the encounter, but the Monticellans were unsuccessful in all means to break through the defense of the Mechanics. Even though the game was won by a major score, it was, as a whole, beautifully executed. O ' Neal, Jeffer- son fullback, was the opponent ' s star, while the Parrots had shines from Max- ham, Cory, and Reis. Jefferson ' s first play was a pass, which Poly intercepted, and in six plays made the first touchdown. An interesting moment occurred when the score was tied in the second quarter. However, as the game proceeded, the plays clicked, and the let-down for the Statesmen resulted in the final score of 27—6 in favor of the Blue and Gold. Ill Polytechnic versus Roosevelt The Poly— Roosevelt game was played on Housh Field through the generosity of Los Angeles High School. This courtesy was extended as the bleachers on Dunn Field were not large enough to hold the crowd of football fans. In the game with the Rough Riders, the Golden Tornado gathered plenty of force. The Red, Yellow, and Blues from Roosevelt ' s squad put up a tough fight, only to be downed in the last quarter of play. A short pass from Reis to Cory brought the old pigskin over the line for a six pointer. An end run made the conversion good for the Mechanics. The Rough Riders showed great skill in the line defense, but the pelota carriers from home were equally strong. The rooters were enthusiastic as the second score for the home team was made by Cory. This was the first touchdown made by the locals that was not made by a pass. Cory re e ' .ved a pass from Res to make the extra point. Waxman, the invincible quarterback for the Blue and Gold, showed beauti- ful offensive work. Much praise should go to the faithful linesmen who work equally well in offense and defense. A final score of 14—0 in favor of the Par- rots ended the third successive victory over Poly ' s opponents. Coach Voyle Brennen ' s squad had done well by running over such a formidable array of able players. This was a great game from the sidelines. Polytechnic versus Los Angeles The last game of the 1932 grid season was played at the Olympic Stad ' um. Los Angeles, Poly ' s traditional rival, won the fray by seven points. Though Poly was slated to rout the Romans and take the 1932 championship, the underdogs managed to upset the dope bucket. The twenty thousand football fans who witnessed the defeat of Poly ' s hope o ' winning the City League football championship, saw also a game superior in action and thrills to those usually played by competing high schools. The teams were almost evenly matched, though Poly ' s running plays, laterals, and spinners had an edge over the Gophers. The Yellowjackets made more yardage, yet failed to place the ball over the scoring line. The second quarter proved what a strong offense Poly ' s gridsters really had, but a fumble on L.A. ' s 30-yard line was fa al to Poly ' s chances of scoring in the first half. During the third quarter, Ferguson of L.A. passed to Smith, who put the ball over the goal line for the only touchdown of the game. The con- version was good. Poly nearly scored in the last quarter when the ball was taken to L.A. ' s 2- yard line. In four downs. Poly was unable to make the additional distance for a score, and L.A. kicked out of danger. Cory and Maxham displayed action equal to any in the city. Chavoor ' s playing made good his chances for the All-City center position. 112 WSe 1932 grid Year The 1932 season proved to be an unexpected success for the Blue and Gold defenders of the Poly tradition. The season started off with prac- tically a new backfield, but many difficulties en- sued though they were soon solved by our grid mentor, Coach Voyle Brennen. With his usual splendid judgment, Coach Bren- nen placed Reis, Cory, Maxham, and Waxman in the backfield, thereby creating a combination which only Jefferson and L.A. were able to score against. A total of only 13 points for the whole season was made by these two opponents, who were forced to put up a stiff resistance to the bat- tering huskies of Poly. Poly and L.A. shared the city championship equally, but since L.A. made the winning score over Poly, that school was given the cup. Monograms were awarded to the following men, recommended by the coaches of the sport and passed by the A.S.B.O. cabinet: Varsity Football — B. Reis, A. Taylor, S. Har- mel, F. Cory, S. Chavoor, M.

The teams which bowed to Poly ' s fighting lightweights included Hollywood, Bel mont, Roosevelt, Franklin, Jefferson, and L.A., the Romans putting up the hardest opposition in the last game of the season. In every encounter, excepting that with L.A., the Blue and Gold aggregation was easily victorious over its opponents. Poly played L.A. to a scoreless tie. The Romans had previously been tied, so Poly annexed the title. In the principal game, which was with the Gophers, unusual alertness on the part of Poly ' s team was called for continually. Many sensational runs by Tanaka and Arikawa were featured in the fracas. The lightweight team had stars in M. Tanaka, F. Arikawa, Santiestevan, Hough, Delavera, and our signal-caller, Kalionzes. All these men played a dogged defensive game. Poly had reason to be proud of its fighting light- weight football team. GAMES POL OPPONENTS 6 Belmont 21 Hollywood 33 Roosevelt 12 Franklin 13 Jefferson Los Angeles 118 Poly ' s Midget Toniado A fairly successful season for the Cee team was climaxed by a victory over a humble Roman grid squad. Coached by Beckner, the locals won two hard- fought games, one against Manual and the second against L.A. Full of threats, the Manual Arts babes, who later turned out to be city champions, met the Parrakeets on Dunn Field in the fourth contest of the sea- son and failed to make any impression. In the final game of the year, the Blue and Gold pigskinners handed L.A. their first defeat to the tune of 12—0. After recovering one of L.A. s fumbles, Poly made a hard drive down the field for a first touchdown. The second was made by Pressler, who intercepted a pass and ran over the line for a touchdown. The Cee eleven had good material this year. Two lettermen, Prioleau and Bilkiss, returned; while Owens, Chung, Rojo, and Stiles were developed dur- ing the season. This was Coach Beckner ' s second year of coaching, and he was satisfied to see his team beat L.A.

Coach Eddie Leahy ' s leather-lungers walked away with all honors from the City Meet and the Southern Divisional Meet. Arrayed in the City Meet honors, the squad swept the lists at the Southern California Meet held at the U.C.L.A. cross-country course, and seized the championship. This success was the result of the strenuous training which the squad underwent preceding the race. The Blue and Gold runners were victorious over every opponent in their schedule except L.A. High. This last defeat was partly due to the injuries which Captain Guy Dunlap suffered just before the meet. Because of this accident he was kept from the race and the crippled team was not able to show its usual form on this one occasion. The Gopher squad was unable to over- come the Mechanics either in the City or Southern California Meets, so the home team was able to avenge their defeat in the Coliseum. Such worthy opponents as Belmont, Roosevelt, Hollywood, Fairfax, and the U.C.L.A. Frosh were overcome in individual races of the schedule. The strongest teams in the city were placed against Poly in the Southern California Divisional Meet, but they were helpless against such a unified force as the home team presented. The cross-country team was trained by a student coach, George French. He was a previous track man of some note, and was therefore qualified for that position. The following men were awarded their Blue and Gold P ' s : Dun- lap, Hough, Delavara, Lawrie, Day, Spencer, Edwards, Spector, Gonzales, French, student coach, and Ginder, manager. 121 ' Coach E.Leahy Capt.G.Duniap S.C-G.Fqench Mgr.JGinder K.Laurie ' J.

Poly was handicapped by the four-foul rule, which disqualified three first string men in the entanglement. The strong opponents won the first fray of the schedule with a score of 27-22. Fairfax later in the season had the bad break of forfeiting this game to Poly because of the discovery of an ineligible man on their team. MANUAL ARTS The Mechanic quintet easily downed Manual, after staging a snappy come- back from their first defeat. The Artisans were beaten for the first time in years by a Poly five. The final one-sided score was 25-9. LINCOLN The Poly varsity hoopmen dubbed the Tigers to the chalk-up of 33-27. This game was a fierce struggle for supremacy, and Poly ' s strength was given the acid test, but our hardwood team emerged on the better side of the tally. GARFIELD The old Poly teamwork was shown in the game with the Bulldogs. The versatile Blue and Gold was conceded the victory with a score of 37-19. The Presidents fought strenuously, but were no show for the Poly hardies, who were continually sifting through their defense as though it were a sieve. FREMONT The fifth struggle of the hoop season was decided in favor of the Mechanic five. The score, 23-16, does not hint of the hard fighting with which the game was filled from beginning to end. The Pathfinders found that to beat the Poly Parrots they must resort to far superior playing than that which they de- veloped on this occasion. LOS ANGELES With a thrilhng climax to the hoop season, the Parrot casaba squad toppled the Gophers in their traditional encounter. The eventful last quarter proved a Waterloo for the enemy, and the final score was 26-22 in favor of the Blue and Gold. The Romans had an eight-point lead over the home team at the beginning of the last quarter. The fighting spirit of the Poly Jessonites sur- prised the wearers of the toga. They could not retain their winning streak. 124 Varsity Hoopster Champions The varsity cagers were successful only after incessant fighting and alert strategy on the part of the players throughout the season, and as a result the city championship was awarded to the local basketball representatives, who snatched the trophy from a strong array of opponents. The caliber of the Blue and Gold five was proved in the three toughest tussles of the schedule, the Gopher, the Railsplitter, and the Colonial battles. With McCloskey, Duncan, Valley, and Perkins returning as lettermen from last season, Coach Pop Jesson had little question as to the possibilities of the team. He easily organized a superior squad which forged through a tight schedule and retained the leading position in the league as city champions. Every game was captured, excepting the Fairfax mixup, from which the Colonials emerged victorious. This game was counted as a win for Poly be- cause of the ineligibility of a Fairfax man who played in the Poly-Fairfax fracas.

For the fourth consecutive year the Mahoney squad tied for the city championship. Jefferson and Hollywood shared equally the honors of holding the title with the Poly five. By winning all six scheduled games, the strength of the Blue and Gold defenders was emphatically proved. Cop Mahoney, diligent coach of the champions, developed the plays to a degree of perfection, which allowed the men enough chances to show their skill and a lively display of action and teamwork. Cop Mahoney had plenty of good material to pick from this year, and the men who were selected proved to be an invincible combination. The light- weights were not scheduled to meet either of the co-holders of the title in a play-off, so the locals divided their championship honors with the other leading teams.

The alert progressives were able to win five out of six games over such able opponents as Fairfax, Manual, Lincoln, Belmont, and Franklin, losing in the final tussle to a Gopher aggregation, A great disappointment came to the midgets after their third game in the schedule. Because of an inehgible player on our home team, the first three games, in which he had part, were subject to forfeiture to our opponents. These games were otherwise credited to our team. In spite of this bad luck, the fighting Cees returned to the next battle with a fresh zeal, defeating Franklin and Belmont. The close Roman fight ended in a tight score of 15-14 in favor of the Blue and White. The schedule furnished plenty of ex- citement for the galleries, and the L.A. climax was a good finish for the season.

He won the Junior A.A.U. championship on the side horse. In addition to this, he worked on the rings, parallels, and long horse. Henry Hayashi was Anderson ' s under- study on the side horse and managed to place in every dual meet during the year. He will fill the place left by Anderson ' s graduation very well next year. A new man on the gym team, of whom much is expected next year, was Ted Marsh. He will work all-around, spe- cializing on the parallels and rings. Richard Ferreira was a good worker and was hard to beat in the free exercise. A consistent performer on the rings, free exercise, and rope climb was Robert Engols. The fastest man in the city on the rope climb was Gus Aguirre. He was very consistent at seven seconds for twenty- five feet. The hard luck man of the squad v as Octavio Arrangoiz. In the Franklin meet he fell from the rings and suffered a badly injured arm. He was a letterman last year also. Norman Faber worked hard and faith- fully at his duties as manager. Coach Glenn Berry, enthusiastic leader of Poly ' s strong-man gym team, directed the activities of the group through the schedule of interscholastic competition. It was through his persistent tutoring that the weak points were filled in and a solid front presented in gymnastic encounters. 1 Ti ) R. Enrols O. Arrangoi2 H. Hayashi G. Aguirre 129 Varsity Track Season JeffersoiL After placing sixth in the City Relay Carnival the preceding week, the Poly spikesters van- quished the Jefferson squad, which was scheduled to achieve an overwhelming victory. The Demo- crats had strength in reserve, and unexpected places were captured, much to the surprise of everybody. Ashford tied with Chism of Poly for first in the high jump. The relay team decided the meet in our favor with a final score of 54 to 50. Siegel took the century in 10 seconds, and the middle distances were easily won by Taylor in the 440-yard and Nickerson in the 880-yard runs. The mile was captured by Hough and Dunlap consecutively. The Parrot spikesters defeated the Roosevelt squad with a tally of 62 to 41 on the loser ' s field. The Mechanics took all the flat races except the relay, and the field events were also copped by the Blue and Gold Tornado. Siegel again starred by winning the 100 and 220-yard dashes. Wallace was the principal con- testant for Roosevelt honors. Chism beat Schwarts in the high jump at 6 feet. Clark tossed the shot 47 feet, 5 inches to gain first place. The weak hurdle event, the soft spot of the team, was surprising in its outcome, as the Poly teamsters made a better showing than was previously expected. Girazian led in the broad jump at 20 feet, 11 inches. The relay team failed to make a good showing on account of a fumble of the baton at a critical point of the race. Nickerson made the time of 2: 06.2 in the half-mile. Eddie Leahy Coach ' HehnouL.- The Mechanic Tornado beat the Hilltop aggregation, 57 1-3 to 46 2-3. By taking first and second in the mile, the meet was cinched for the Parrots. The two feature events, the 100-yard and the furlong, turned out to be breath- taking events. Miner of Belmont was a serious threat to the Mechanics ' hopes, after winning the 220 in 51 seconds flat. Both Siegel and Miner registered 10 flat in the century, which was run in a dead heat. Nickerson covered the 880 distance in 2: 02.2, being pressed for the first time in this season. 130 VARSITY TRACK SQUAD Hollywood By taking eight first places, the Blue and Gold varsity trackmen swamped the Hollywood Sheiks to the tune of 594 to 44 . Dunlap and Nickerson finished first and second in the half-mile. The Poly stars outdid their rivals by taking the majority of events to maintain their undefeated standing in the league. The Golden Tornado eight-man relay team swept to an impressive win over the Red and White team of Hollywood. Taylor easily overcame Jones of the Sheiks ' team in the quarter-mile. Rodriguez seized first in the pole vault at 10 feet. FrauklitLj The Parrots scored a decisive win over the Panthers in a spectacular meet, ending with a score of 71 1-3 to 32 2-3. The exciting 100-yard dash was won by Siegel again in the excellent time of 9.8 seconds. Nickerson made his best time for any dual meet this year for the 880. Chism tied with Bushnell, the one-man track team from Franklin, in the high jump at 6 feet, 1 inch. Hough and Dunlap finished firs t and second in the mile in slow time com- pared with past meets. For the only time in the season the Poly ovalmen were able to make an impression in the low and high stick events. 131 Captain D. Siegel A. Taylor M. NiCKERSON G. DUNLAP A. Chism L. Prokop J. GiRAZIAN Mgr. B. Bishop The fighting Poly team received its first shock in the track season when their traditional rivals, the Romans, annexed the city dual title. The Parrot squad offered the stiffest resistance and the toughest competition the Blue and White squad met with this year. The Mechanic speed artists were lacking in the low and high hurdle events, giving L.A. a clean sweep in both events. This fact enabled the Romans to win the meet. Nickerson, our consistent 880-yard man, beat Gilmore of the Gophers after dopesters had picked the Roman half-miler to seize the event with ease. Siegel broke the tape in the century three yards 132 M. Messina B. Frapwell C. Williams D. Johnson ahead of Udell, a Roman. He was unable to beat the sturdy Johnson of L.A. in a fine 220-yard dash, however. Taylor won the 440 from Boone of L.A. in excellent time for the Blue and White oval. Johnson was declared the backbone of the opposing squad, after taking the high jump and 220-yard dash. Thei-e was a three-way tie between Rodriguez, Prokop, and Sloan, all of Poly, in the pole vault. Girazian took the broad jump at 21 feet, 6 inches. Clark seized first by throwing the shot 46 feet, 414 inches. Chism placed second in the high jump. 133 r -?! Xiightweight Tracks The Class B tracksters concluded a season stocked full of remarkable achievements and exciting performances. The Parrot Babes met Jefferson on even terms, and left victorious, a fine start for the season ' s activities. In the Roosevelt encounter the B relay record was broken by a superior Poly group. The time was 1: 10.8. Sam Waxman was consistent at sending the shot 47 feet, and he also made a broad jump record at the Hollywood fracas at 21 feet, 4o inches. Spaulding displayed talent in the 660 run, while Sloan and Stiles were usually leading in the pole vault. Al Schilling and Moody Dandridge, both runners of relay and century, constantly chalked up points for the Blue and Gold team. The Poly lightweights were trimmed only by the Romans in their dual meet, being winners in five previous meets. While Manual Arts took the City League crown and the Southern California Divisional title, the Parrots placed fourth in the City and also in the Southern California tilts. Coach Glen Berry led the Class B squad to its triumphs. The Poly spikesters would have won the city championship had they not lost to the Romans in their last tussel to a score of 54 to 41. The breaks were unfortunately against the home squad, which fought strenuously but was un- able to hold the sway against the sturdy Romans. Two Poly lightweight trackmen placed in the Southern California Divisional Meet: Waxman first and Cisneros third in the broad jump. Lightweight trackmen who are receiving letters are the following: S. Wax- man, Fernald, Sloan, Anderson, Vollmer, Terrorio, Schilling, Cisneros, Adoor, Stiles, Dandridge, West, Brown, C. Louie, J. Musso, A. Ohno, E. Spaulding, and G. Kalionzes, manager. 134 -J.0. V A l il r O ss C rack Starting the season off with a bang, the Parrakeets kept a perfect record for the first half of the schedule. The second half lowered the standing, how- ever, and the Midgets ended the dual league with a rating of .500. The win- ning streak was featured by victories over Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Holly- wood, in order. Defeat, nevertheless, was received at the hands of Belmont, Franklin, and Los Angeles. Poly was aided by a well balanced team. This was offset by the lack of reserve power, which was felt the entire season. Many points were brought home by the consistent running of Rojo and Chan in the dashes and McCauley in the hurdles. The distance race, the 660, was featured by the running of Pressler, who placed in most of the meets. In the field events Poly was helped by Krough in the broad jump and by Drasin and Rudin in the shot put. In the third meet of the year, that with Hollywood, the relay team tied the school record of 48 seconds flat. Though Poly did not take any firsts in the City Meet, McCauley took second in the 120-yard low hurdles, and Tomlinson tied for third in the pole vault. In addition to these places, Rojo copped fifth in the century, and the relay team took fourth. The winning time was 46.2 seconds, and the place winners were not separated by much distance.

The G.A.A. is organized by the gym department and can be taken instead of regular gym. If a girl is not a member of this association, she must enroll in another gym class. To become a member, the girl must have been two se- m esters in a high school and have a high record in character, scholarship, and athletic ability. There are four major sports for the members of the G.A.A. They are hockey, speedball, basketball, and baseball. A girl of this association may participate in these by signing up in the club in which they are played. There is also a dancing club for the girl interested in that form of gymnastics. To receive a letter one must earn 500 points. These are awarded for every team to which a girl belongs — 100 for a first team and 50 for a second team. An emblem is presented to a girl each semester if she has made a first team. 136 FIRST SEMESTER Frieda Mahnken Nardella McGee Gloria Hopkins GYM CLUB Miss Ohman — Adviser President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer SECOND SEMESTER Maxine Hutchinson Nedra Edwall Bernetta Allen It is customary to have a Play Day every year sponsored by the G.A.A. to v hich athletes of other schools are invited for a friendly contest of sports. On January 18 of this year, the girls of the Athletic Association were invited by Los Angeles High School to represent Polytechnic at their Play Day. The invitation was accepted by several teams. Polytechnic was well represented in basketball, volleyball, hockey, tennis, and swimming. Our girls made a grand showing by winning two events, hockey and volleyball, taking second in swimming, and close scores in the other two contests. After these events, the contestants relaxed with dancing and swimming. Later all adjourned to the cafeteria, where a delightful luncheon was served. The G.A.A. presidents of each school were the speakers for the occasion. For the girls unable to attend a Play Day the executive of the association sponsored a Junior-Senior Field Day April 12. Every girl who had earned 50 points or more in the G.A.A. participated. The contests were held between the Juniors and Seniors. There were five events: hockey, volleyball, basket- ball, baseball, and speedball. The games were well played and the victories almost evenly divided. This is the first contest of the sort ever held at Poly. It was so successful that it is to be continued in the future. 137 FIRST SEMESTER Charlotte Smith Dorothy Smith Doris Hirst Muriel Crisp Pearl Newlee OUTDOOR CLUB Miss Fye — Adviser President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Yell Leader SECOND SEMESTER Dorothy Smith Muriel Crisp Elayne Downey Lydia Walker Pearl Newlee W  ® A a me HOCKEY CLUB FIRST SEMESTER Mrs. deRevere — Adviser SECOND SEMESTER Betty Reeder President Marjorie Davis Marjorie Davis Vice-President Helen Flesh Aleise White Secretary Betty Quackenbush Helen Flesh Treasurer 138 Betty Quackenbush Doris Currier Cleo Fincher Ruth Golde COACHING COUNCIL Miss Fye — Adviser Marie Vreenegoor — President Dorothy Hodges Mary Katow DeLois Long Carmen Rodriguez Eleanor Rynkofs Mary Stout Frances Summers FIRST SEMESTER Dorothy Burgesson Martelle King GIRLS ' HOSPITAL Miss Ohman — Adviser Chief Assistant Chief 139 SECOND SEMESTER Dorothy Burgesson Martelle King PAiitiiir Till CAILIEyilAlB Calendar SEPTEMBER 12 Amid hearty welcomes and friendly jibings, school doors open to 2752 onrushing students. 14 Baby Bees serpentine the campus in canary yellow and brown. 26 First league mixer.
