Dunn in recognition of his twenty-five years of service as principal of the Polytechnic High School. We express our love and devotion to a loyal friend, a guide whose wisdom is our safeguard and whose un- tiring faith in our activities inspires us to con- stant endeavor. He is our leader. We admire him for the success with which he has estab- lished and maintained the ideals of our school. We are grateful for his understanding of us in our quest for achievement. His unfailing cour- age, his vision, and his faith have bequeathed us a heritage far richer than any material wealth. The memory of his friendship will al- ways be an inspiration as we go through life. TOWILLIS A. DUNN There yet shall be a memory of him When othei memories held also dear Have followed fleeting hours and long grown dim With those whose troubled course he helped to steer; There yet shall be the countless gratitudes For deeds his lavish nature bred so deep In hearts befriended, not with platitudes, But soul-embracing love, and words we keep — Kind words of counsel, never insincere. And we will not forget, who have received So much from him of all that we had need. That he himself, in some long later year. Can find great solace, more than we believed, In seeing us bear on his kindly creed. Betty Yungling, W ' 34 WILLIS A. DUNN, Principal The President s Message The year 1935 ushers in an important anni- versary in the life of the American people. Three hundred years ago the first American high school — the Boston Latin School — was founded. It was established in 1635, only fifteen short years after the landing of the Pilgrims. From a small beginning with one instructor and a handful of students has grown the splen- did service now provided for more than 6,000,- 000 young Americans by 26,000 public and private high schools. These schools are develop- ing the most precious resource of our nation, the latent intelligence of our young people. It is worth noting that social progress in the United States is following swiftly on the heels of the remarkable expansion of edu- cational opportunity at the high school level. I hope that the young people of every high school in the United States will celebrate this three hundredth anniversary. I hope they will celebrate it in a manner v hich will bring vividly before parents and fellow townsmen the significance, the contribution, and the goals of their schools. — Franklin D. Roosevelt FOREWORD The American high school is an institution of which we should be proud. This year twenty- eight thousand of these schools are celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the found- ing of the Boston Latin School in 1635, the first institution of secondary standing in America. Since the beginning, ideals of education have steadily advanced until the high school of to- day has become a power in the community undreamed of by those who established it. Because of the present importance of secondary education, the tercentenary of its inception is being observed throughout the country. It is therefore fitting that this edition of the Poly- technic Student of 1935 join in this national recognition of secondary education. We pay tribute to those men of the colonies who in a wilderness laid the foundation of the great educational system of today. We remember also those who through the difficult years which followed reaUzed the importance of broadening opportunities for education. We are grateful to the leaders who are making every effort to meet present needs. This, our yearbook, is an expression of our appreciation of those who have promoted education, a pledge of our determination to uphold their ideals. William Miller, Editor, Polytechnic Student YESTER DAY CVLTT A yiyi«TiATi y TODAY il L— — :: _ ' . .- WILLIS A. DUNK Principal Standing where we can have a retrospective view of three hundred years of high school development we are profoundly impressed with the devotion of our educational leaders to the problem of preparing youth for the life that lies ahead of him. Schools and methods have changed and will continue to change, but each step indicates progress. During past years foundations have been laid upon which we can still add structures, as the years go by, to meet the needs of a chang- ing world. I think we shall all agree that to the extent by which we broaden our education we in a like measure in- crease our opportunities to establish ourselves in some field of activity in which we can center our interest and achieve results satisfactory to ourselves and of value to others. Education is not for self alone; it is a preparation for service. Our schools are maintained on that basis, and insofar as we have received, so should we freely give. As students and representatives of Polytechnic let us do our part in holding for higher ideals. Let us build bigger and better in order that we may stand shoulder to shoulder with those who have preceded us and those who are to follow. Willis A. Dunn, Principal ADMINISTRATION 1935 i 2 ADELE HUMPHREY, Vice-Principal We who are fortunate enough to be born and reared in the United States take for granted the privilege of free high school education. It is ours for the taking. But people in other countries are more impressed by it than we are. They regard it as something of a phenomenon. Several years ago the Assistant Minister of Education of Germany was studying our schools. Several of us asked him to tell us frankly what faults he found in our American education. Our surprise was great when he told us that he had no criticism — only admiration: that he considered the American free high school the greatest contribution to education for two centuries. A French army captain gazed enthralled one day, here at Polytechnic, at the boys and girls going from class to class without orderlies, monitors, or guards to send them where they belonged. They could stage a riot, he said, but they prefer to get an education. This impresses me more than anything I have seen in your great country. In Europe the New Education Fellowship is modern- izing age-old classroom methods with ideas from our country. Student participation in government is making headway and all Polyites know where that had its beginning. Adele Humphrey, Vice-Principal 1 3 ADMINISTRATION 1935 J.G.GOODSELU Vice-Principal The founding of the Boston Latin School in 1635 was an event the importance of which we can not measure. Three hundred years of secondary school history in the United States parallels our national history very closely. Our na- tional growth has been the greatest in the world and the public schools have constantly kept pace with the advance. At various times public education has been threatened, but men with vision such as Horace Mann, Henry Barnard, John Dewey, and Charles William Eliot aroused public sen- timent and championed the cause of education for everyone. Evolution in the thinking of educators and the practice in secondary schools is very interesting to note. In the Bos- ton Latin School a rigid, purely academic curriculum was adhered to. The aims of education as stated for students in Phillips Academy at Andover, Massachusetts, were: ... first, the promotion of True Piety and Virtue; second, in- struction in the English, Latin, and Greek Languages, to- gether with Writing, Arithmetic, etc. The liberalization of curricula today is apparent to all, throughout the nation. The chief characteristics of twentieth century education are the application of the questioning spirit of scientific research, and the future activities appear to lie in the direc- tion of fitting the youth to social conditions, with emphasis on creating social betterment and greater adaptability. J. G. GooDSELL, Vice-Principal ADMINISTRATION 1935 1 4 E. B. COUCH, Resistrar The high schools of today are the product of trial and error for the past three hundred years. Free experimentation with survivals of the chosen practices, courses, and pro- cedures has given us the modern secondary school with its multiplicity of courses, its thousands of highly trained teachers, and millions of students. Today ' s tendencies are toward practical courses for economic ability and cultural background for added leisure. Both tendencies imply need for more efficient social-economic adjustments and for better social cooperation, for more knowledge and flexibility. If the high schools of today are to survive the critical attitude that now exists, it will be through the leadership of progressive thinkers who are the products of the high school. Conservative attitudes, inflexibility of courses, aca- demic despotism, and school teacherized procedures are bound to hinder the future devolpment of this great Ameri- can institution. If, in our high schools, we are to aid in the reduction of crime, the solution of economic problems, the raising of our social standards and the standards of living, it will be necessary to continue open experimentation in the light of the past; and forgetting the past as a hampering influence, move on to new and better procedures as rapidly as they prove to be real advances in educational results.

Francis is enshrined at Polytechnic High School, for he was one of those rare leaders who combine great power and ideals with great sympathy and tenderness. Education and life must be brought close together, was his slogan. He saw that the old classical high school served the needs only of the few; so he developed a curriculum which would foster skills other than academic, side by side with academic learning. He saw that many young people lost interest in education between the eighth grade and high school; so he estab- lished junior high schools to bridge the gap. These two contributions to educational ideas give Mr. Francis a high place in the minds of those who study educational tends and develop- ments. But his place in the hearts of those who were privileged to study or teach with him was created by personal qualities. Vital, robust in mind and body, interested in everything, un- derstanding everybody, old or young, he was a daily and hourly inspiration to his associates. Adele Humphrey JOHN H. FRANCIS 2 John H.

Ideas of education based on the principle of harsh discipline by a government in which the student has no part or feels no sense of responsibility, have com- pletely disappeared. In their stead has developed a new policy. Tbis places a share of school supervision in the hands of its young members to the extent that they partici- pate in directing not only all extra-curricular activities but also a great deal of their own discipline. This policy has focused a new light on the position of the American teacher. No longer is the instructor the old type of schoolmaster conspicuously leading his classes with a rod in one hand and a textbook in the other. Educational advancement has placed the pupil beside the teacher. Now the latter ' s function is that of companion and adviser. He provides friendly, helpful guidance, teaching young people how to work and how to put their knowledge into practice, but he does not solve their problems for them; he encourages initiative and creative effort rather than imitation and mere repetition WINTER 1935 3 fc ' SELF-GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES by applying methods of teaching and learning which in- volve individual research and demand intelligent thinking. Through this means the student is acquiring more than book learning; he is developing the ability to adapt himseK to the ever-increasing speed of modern conditions; he is experiencing education which is not static, but progressing. As a result of these great changes in educational routine the high school students have come to realize a sense of responsibility for their conduct and for the policies and activities of their school. Thus they have a splendid oppor- tunity to develop voluntary cooperation, initiative, enthusi- asm, self-control, and leadership — the essentials of efficient citizenship. They gain practical experience in the solution of problems similar to those to be encountered in later life. As the citizens of tomorrow in world affairs they are taking the primary step, which consists in learning to govern them- selves. In preparation for a finer, higher type of American democracy, youth has established a school democracy, an efficient system of government, operating through its stu- dents, the young citizens of their school, the future leaders of America in every branch of national and world activity. — Mary Sturdivant, S ' 35, President, Girls ' Self-Government 3 1 SUMMER 1935 E.

From these four, the president of the A.S.B.O., with the consent of the Principal, chooses one girl and one boy to act as Merit Board for one term. The faculty member is appointed by the principal. Mr. Brennen served in this capacity both semesters of the present year. The duties of the board are first, to review all cases con- cerning merits or loss of merits brought to it by either students or teachers. In reviewing such cases, the Merit Board may deduct merits as provided in the published list, or may change the number of ' merits lost given to a stu- dent after the person giving the merits lost has agreed to the change. The vice-principal decides contested cases. Sec- ond, to discuss the working of the Merit System and to make recommendation of change in any part of the plan is another of the important functions of the Merit Board. In this manner the democratic ideal is recognized and upheld. Each party in the case is able to present his side and receive fair consideration. — Walter Diehm, S ' 35 Mariquita Eddy Paul Stewart Evelyn Chavoor Walter Diehm 3 9 MERIT BOARD 1935 William Miller Ruth Fisher Polytechnic Student StaFf Miss Metkiff, Adviser William Miller Ruth Fisher Frank Alonso Helen Huhn Evelyn Chavoor Edward Voll Ray Davis Victoria Adaline Jack Sakellaris Eva Kipper Editor-in-Chief Associate Editor Organizations Class Editor, W ' 35 Class Editor, S ' 35 Business Manager Boys ' Sports Girls ' Sports Literary Secretary F.

Brant Modest, intelligent, open-minded, courageous, and with a joyous outlook on life — this was the Athenian woman of ancient Greece. She loved the beautiful, sought perfection and truth, and walked straight as an arrow, independent and unafraid. Three semesters ago at Polytechnic a number of girls, eager to better themselves, met together and chose to call their group Athenians; for they saw in the ideals of the Athenian woman something lofty and fine. As she served her city and hearth, so the Athenian girls are pledged to serve their school, to help foster a friendly, democratic spirit, and to make membership in their organization an incentive for better work and attitude on the part of the other girls. One of their noteworthy projects is the sponsoring of an annual Christmas Food Drive for the needy amongst the students. The Athenian ideal is to make a conscious and constant effort for self-improvement and to set so fine an example that each girl at Polytechnic will covet membership. ATHENIANS 1935 4 4 M. Gardner F.

As popularly imagined, he was wont to stalk into class, his ever-ready rod behind his back and a demeanor calculated to make even the bravest quail. He is pictured before his victims in an attitude and with an expression indicative of particular relish for the fear and the suffering it is within his power to inflict. He is usually represented as having peculiarities of person — an exaggeration of nose and a flare of ear, per- haps; or eyes that undoubtedly could pierce the most cun- ning devices of his charges for concealing those plans in- tended to take advantage of some unguarded moment, always hoped for by his classes, but seldom realized. The boys and girls of these schools also are likely to be represented as leagued against the schoolmaster. They are adepts in the business of startling the unwary with pins concealed in unsuspected places. Snakes, bugs, mice are common means of distracting the order, and the ancient art of spitballs flourishes. Tears, dunce-caps, struggling against ferule and birch rod are always in the foreground of the picture of the past. They are the weapons of defense avail- able for the distracted schoolmaster in the eternal struggle. Were these conditions of resentment and restraint, lack of understanding and cooperation, so general and severe as the comic supplement would have us believe? The love of learning, ideals of education, the persistence of effort to promote its opoprtunities have always characterized the American people. This means that there have always been at least a proportion of understanding teachers, tolerant and just. We of today who have the privileges of modern schools, should pay tribute to the men and women of the past who gave their best efforts to create opportunities for getting knowledge. Severity and discipline were character- istic of the pioneer days. The teacher of that period led his flock oftentimes by what might seem harsh methods to us. But let us admire him for the ideals he maintained, be grateful for what he made possible for the present age, and think of him, as Oliver Goldsmith did, in all fairness: Yet he was kind. or. if severe in aught. The loi e he bore to learning was in fault. WINTER 1935 4 8 OFFICERS CLASS OF Wl NTER 19 3 5 Harry Vournas T. Gustafson Louise Brant Edith Murdock Helen Hulin M.

WINTER 1935 6 2 HONORS EpFiebians The Ephebian Society of the Los Angeles high schools is based upon an ancient Greek order of young men founded by the state to safeguard the ideals of citizenship. When the young Athenian became an Ephebian he was required to take an oath of allegiance to his city as follows: We will never bring disgrace to this our city, by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor ever desert our sufering comrades in the ran cs. We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many. We will revere and obey the city ' s laws and do our best to incite a like respect in those above us who are prone to annul or set them at naught. Thus, in all these ways. we will transmit this city not only not less, but far greater and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us. The members of the Ephebian Society of today are selected from the graduating classes of the city high schools for their achievements as citizens, scholars, and leaders. The Ephebian ring is the coveted symbol of membership. Faculty Gold Pins For having made A in twenty-one or more solids during the last three years of high school, the following members of the Class of Winter 1935 have been awarded the Faculty gold scholarship pin: Sara Lewis, Marguerite Olsen, Dorothy Trapp, Richard E. Wheeler, and Janice Wilson. EPHEBIANS Richard Wheeler Janice Wilson Marguerite Olsen Harry Vournas Warren Brooks Seal Bearers For their scholarship and service, through their membership in Chapter 57, the following students are awarded by the California Scholarship Federation the gold pin, the gold seal on the diploma and transcript of record, and the life cer- tificate: Pearl Adelman, James Jones, Luther Kuttler, Sara Lewis, Sadae Nomura, Marguerite Olsen, Fernando Tag- gawa, Dorothy Trapp, Richard E. Wheeler, Janice Wilson. W. A. Dunn Honor Awards The faculty selected Richard E. Wheeler of Winter 1935 to receive the Willis A. Dunn gold medal of the 1934 awards. 6 3 WINTER 1935 OPEN FIELDS We turn the pages of Life ' s book And breathe in wonder as we look Upon the home that man has made From nothing but wild woods and glade. We see a band of pioneers Who during dark, uncertain years, Filled with adventurous unrest, Kept pushing onward ever west. Defying hunger, beasts, and cold. They lived a story to be told. Tall grasses hide this lovely view: A country-side all green and blue, Where earth and heaven seem to meet, Where one escapes the city ' s heat, And hears the notes of meadowlark That mingle with a friendly bark. And as the light of day grows dim. One feels so very close to Him. This picture of sweet hairmony Is Nature ' s Open Field we see. Now Open Fields before us lie That are invisible to eye. They must be reached by heart or soul, An inner sense that seeks a goal, A strong craving for self-expression, A wish to master some profession. Though men have ventured here before. These Open Fields hold room for more: A section stands some way apart Reserved for those inclined toward art, Who see the beauty of night and morn And strive to put dreams into form. Land of mystery and of science Attracts a group with deeper minds. Who not unlike the clever sleuths Resolve to find the hidden truths. WINTER 1935 6 4 By SARA LEWIS Lies a valley over yonder Where the musical may wander, Who are able to right wrong Through the charms of pleasing song. There ' s a quiet spot in sight For those who feel the urge to write, Who with the magic touch of pen Take words and put life into them. Beyond these realms of finer arts A road to workmen ' s region starts And runs into the streets of trade Where various plots of jobs are laid. Here he not talented at birth May choose a task and prove his worth. For workers there will be a place As long as lives the human race. Although the fields of yesterday Were different from those of today. That spirit of the pioneer Is wanted now to drown the fear That takes man in its awful grip And throws him into Life ' s black pit. And always he who would win success Has need to brave the wilderness, Moving forward with no turning, Blazing fresh trails into learning. The happiness for which he ' s sought, Man may find on the paths of thought. Many scientists have begun To probe the secrets of the sun And say in time they will discover What mysteries the planets cover. As in the days already gone, The quest for new fields will keep on. Thus History ' s volume has revealed That all of Life is an Open Field. 6 5 WINTER 1935 THE COMING OF NIGHT I watch the clouds glow rose red, And snow-tipped mountains Reflect the radiant splendor. The night steals softly To the still sea With darkening wing outspread. The fragrance of the flowers fills my garden. The trees dream. The little world lies captured by sleep. O heart of mine, Look up and see the beauty of the sky above. Look! Star upon star In unlimited space; Thousands and thousands in a Milky Way. Oh, numberless hosts Like grains of sand by the sea! Does God know each star in the universe — Each flower in my little garden? Each sorrow that overwhelms the heart? Is a tear shed but that he knows. Even as every hair on my head? The love of Him who sent the night, Created beauty for the yearning soul, Must surely guide me along my path aright. Then go to sleep, my doubting heart. Forget the sorrow of the passing day. But ask of God Who hears our prayers, That love and hope abide alway. Eva Fairband, W ' 36 SUMMER 1935 6 6 OFFICERS CLASS OF SUMMER 193 5 E. Yacoubiaii L. Brant E. Baxter M. MacLean W. Conwell M.

Sturdivant , _ SUMMER 1935 8 6 The High School -- An Opportunity On that unforgetable day of April 13, 1635, the freemen of Boston, Massachusetts, passed this oi ' der: Likewise, it was generally agreed upon that our brother Philemon Pormont shall be entreated to become schoolmaster for the teaching and nurturing of the children with us. Thus was founded the Boston Latin School, the first secondary institution in America. Since this memorable occasion secondary educa- tion has passed from the solitary Boston Latin School en- rolling the privileged few to the twenty-eight thousand high schools of today, dedicated to training American youuths. With America facing many difficulties, the secondary school should be recognized as the most promising agency which society has available for dealing with the problems of youth. With one half of our young people in school, we have gone far but only half far enough. It is of vital im- portance to the community to offer the best in education, as the basic task before the American nation is to provide the means by which young people may prepare themselves to serve their country. It is upon their shoulders that the nation must sometime rest. Wise parents have made it possible for their sons and daughters to attend high schools preparing themselves for the future. America has opened the door for everyone to enjoy the opportunities which the high school offers. A secondary school education today is as necessary as was an elementary school education a short while ago. The history of secondary education has shown a constant adaptation to changes in development and the growth of democratic ideals which characterize our people. The high school is maintained by all and for all; it is the mainstay of self-government and the surest guarantee of the ideals we wish to preserve. — Joseph Chernus, S ' 35 8 7 SUMMER 1935 Here lies a teacher — may God give him rest. For the Lord only knows that he did his best. Ichabod Crane and his clan are vanished. Nevermore shall a teacher ' s coat-of-arms consist of a book and a hickory whip. The long pointer applied to so many knuckles and nether extremities is retired to gather dust with other an- tiques in the attic, or used to beat rugs instead of errant pupils. The dunce-cap and stool are reserved for museums and comic operas, having been tried and found wanting in the swift improvement in American educational conditions. When the first self-government was instituted in an American high school, a tremendous stride forward was taken. Teachers largely forsook their role as disciplinarians and became teachers and guides in fact. The autocratic Ichabod was overthrown, and in his stead appeared a co- worker in a small democracy. Ichabod served us well; it took forceful methods to cope with conditions as they existed in his day, but methods must be flexible enough to change and adapt themselves to modern necessities. The last forty years have witnessed the greatest advance in pupil- teacher relations since the public high school was introduced in America. Forty more years of evolution — then what? — Jack Shirley, S ' 35 These are fragments of life at Poly which will return to charm us and bring us close to our school in the years to come. Though the days of our three year stay have faded almost to nothingness, these brief moments are ours forever; The school rising in reverence to Mr. Dunn; the lunch hour spurt of camaraderie; the hush and silence of an ordinarily noisy student body in the church assemblies; the loneliness of the deserted halls after school; the thrill of that first interview with Mr. Dunn in his office; the excusable senti- ment of Class Night; the easy going give and take of the chemistry lab.; the last, shaky chord in Alma Mater. Of course, like everyone else, we realize that Polytechnic is a great institution, but it is these little, insignificant things which make what we refer to proudly as Poly spirit. It is these same little things which have made us happy here. — Antigone Peterson S ' 35 SUMMER (935 8 8 8 9 WINTER 1936 SUMMER 1936 9 1 .1 9 1 WINTER 1937 SUMMER 1937 9 2 9 3 WINTER 1938 PABT IT « B • % ' f i ks T ' j -: : „a - f W ' 35 Mary Stallone Venita Landrum Tinie DeWyn Ruth Fisher Victoria Adaline GIRLS ' SENIOR GLEE CLUB Miss Wells.

Fifty or sixty years ago such organizations were unknown in public schools, but with the changes and advancements in educational methods clubs have become a distinct feature of the school system. They are recognized as indispensable because they provide a means of developing abilities and ambitions; they are a source of knowledge; they promote understanding and tolerance. Lasting friendships also grow out of this working together in groups organized by the students themselves. Those who have taken part in the founding of club activities in Polytechnic High School may feel well recompensed for the success of their efforts. They have realized that the student needs more than te.xt-book discipline. He needs to learn how to work with others, how to follow as well as to lead. He must also learn to know not only schoolmates but teachers. There is a real joy for the student in this comradeship with the faculty advisers, and certainly an advantage for the teacher who is able to know his group in a more personal and intimate manner. While old buildings have been torn down and new ones are in the process of construction, the school has to get used to radical changes in living arrangements. In various ways the students have learned to adapt themselves to tent life and other strange conditions. They have grasped perhaps the most valuable lesson in the various curricula, that education does not depend on buildings and equipment but upon mind and spirit. In spite of the limitations of material conveniences, the clubs have carried on with characteristic enthusiasm. In the closer quarters and plainer ways of living they have developed an even more democratic spirit than was characteristic of them in the days before. These clubs express the spirit of Polytechnic High School, that spirit whose vision leads on to higher and ever higher levels. Evelyn Chavoor.

Clarence Mahoney has jurisdiction over the Class B bas- ketball team and the golf team. He attended Michigan and S.C., being captain of the Trojan nine in his Senior year. Glenn Berry Exerts his coaching ability on behalf of the Gym Club and varsity track team. Mr. Berry excelled in gymnastics and ■wrestling at the University of California. William Thurman Directs Class B track and Class C and Class D basketball. Mr. Thurman made letters in base- ball, track, and cross-country while attending U. C. L. A. These men make up the coaching staff of Poly and unite their efforts to produce records for the Blue and Gold. The teams under their supervision this year enjoyed a fair season, Coach Mahoney ' s Class B basketball team taking the city title, and Coach Brennen ' s varsity football team capturing second place honors in the Southern League race. ATHLETICS 1 1 2 Practice Games Poly, 25; Fremont, 6 Poly ' s Golden Tornado opened the season with a practice tilt against Fremont. Doped to lose, the Parrots sprang the first surprise of the season, winning 25-6. Jimmy Jones started the fire- works by running 65 yards around right end for the first score. Jimmy Jones scored twice, while Mario Messina and Rae Phillips were the other backs to cross the last marker. After the first quarter the outcome was never in doubt. Fremont ' s lone 6 points came after Coach Brennen had sent the regulars to the showers and put in a team of substitutes. Poly, 13; San Pedro, A fighting Mechanic squad de- feated the San Pedro eleven on Dunn Field. The Pirates put up a great game in the first half, but could not keep up this pace. Once again Jimmy Jones starred for the locals. Mario Messina did some fine running for the Blue and Gold, going 30 yards to a touchdown on a reverse play. The blocking of Meneces, local quarterback, was one of the reasons for the large gains made through the line by the flashy Poly backs.

Football S( The 1934 grid year found the OOtDdll OCdSOn Mechanic varsity a much im- proved team over last year. When the first practice was called, Coach Brennen was greeted by six lettermen and a host of last year ' s substitutes. The first opponent was Jefferson, and then Huntington Park, the latter giving Poly the toughest battle of the season and every Polyite a scare. The Parrots, however, won the game in the last minute of play, 14-12. Manual stopped the winning streak by spanking the locals, 13-7. Washington offered little opposition, and the local pigskinners finished second in the Southern League. Franklin was no match for Coach Brennen ' s men, losing 14-0. Venice took the severest drubbing of any school, drop- ping a 44-0 count to the husky sons of the Blue and Gold. In the game between the North and South in the Coliseum for a P.-T.A. benefit. Poly met and defeated Torrance, 14-0. Players on the varsity squad who received letters were Captain Jimmy Jones, Brigantino, Derricks, Haggerty, Bob Jones, Kalinich, Land, Lloyd, McSweeney, Pecel, Rendon, Sloan, Tarr, Wheeler, Williams, Messina, Meneces, Harmell, Rinde, Bernhardt, Phillips, and the manager, Joe Chernus. FOOTBALL 1 1 4 Polytechnic, 14; JeFferSOn, Coach Voyle Brennen ' s pigskinners got off to a flying start in the first league en- counter, defeating the Democrats, 14-0. The game was spectacular throughout, featuring Jones ' splendid kicking— one punt travelling 62 yards from scrimmage. After an exchange of punts the locals took the ball into enemy terri- tory. Three plays placed the ball on the Democrat 17-yard line. The quarter ended. Two line bucks failed to gain, and then Jones called for a pass. A perfect pass, Jones to Johnny Land, was completed for the first score. Jones converted. Soon after the third period opened, the Mechanics re- covered a fumble deep in the Democrat territory. Two line plunges placed the ball on the 5-yard marker. On the next play Javier Meneces tossed a flat pass to Jones for the final tally. Jones again added the extra point. The remainder of the fray saw Jefferson desperately trying to score. The Par- rots prevented this, and Jefferson took home a goose egg. Polytechnic, 14 Huntington Park, 12 By the slim margin of two points the Mechanics defeated the Spartans on the latter ' s field. It was the ability of Mario Messina that turned defeat into victory. With less than 30 seconds to play, Messina, stellar half, galloped 10 yards around the enemy ' s right flank for the winning score. It was Jones ' educated toe that added extra points on the conversions. The Spartans dominated the play during the first and second quarters. Huntington Park scored the first tally in the second period. Upon the opening of the second half, the locals found themselves 6 points behind. They promptly marched down the field for the tally. The extra point was added, placing them in the lead, 7-6. The Spartans regained their lead, scoring another touchdown. With less than 4 minutes to play, the Mechanics began their final drive down the field. Displaying the fine spirit that all Poly teams possess, the locals began to fight harder than ever. With less than 30 seconds to play, Messina crossed the goal, untouched. 1 1 5 FOOTBALL Polytechnic, 7 Manual Arts, 13 Polys hopes for an undefeated season fell when Doyle Nave, Manual ' s star halfback, crossed the locals goal line twice during the fray. The game was the toughest of the season for the Mechanics. Coach Brennen ' s varsity scored their only touchdown in the final seconds of play. A long pass, Jimmy Jones to Bob Jones, put the ball on Manual ' s 7-yard stripe. Jones then tossed a pass to Messina, scoring the Parrot ' s lone tally. The expert passing of Nave placed the ball in scoring position in the first period. Nave fumbled as he hit the line, and Jones recovered for the locals. However, the officials ruled Nave had scored. In the third period Manual marched down the field to the 2-yard line. Nave then drove between left tackle and end for the score. By their hard playing throughout the game, Jones «fd Nave definitely proved themselves the best backs in thfe Southern League. Polytethnic, 6; Washington, A 20-yard pass from Jimmy Jones to his brother Bob resulted in a touchdown that Avon the game and a second place in the Southern League. Although the Parrots won on a single tally, they wefe much stronger than the score would indicate. Wash- ton penetrated the Mechanic territory only three times, ince to the 45-yard line and twice to the 27-yard marker. The first half found Poly threatening to score the majority of the time, but on each attempt Washington tightened and held the Mechanics scoreless. Late in the third quarter Jones returned a punt 27 yards, bringing the ball to the Generals ' 18-yard stripe. A line play lost 4, then Jones passed to brother Bob for the score. The last quarter pro- vided some thrills when Washington went into a spread formation. Threatening to complete a long pass, Washing- ton kept the Mechanics on their toes to the last second. FOOTBALL 1 1 6 Polytechnic, 14; Franklin, Playing its first inter- league game, the Golden Tornado defeated Franklin. The Mechanics never allowed the Panthers to get into a threat- ening position, and consequently the Blue and Gold domin- ated the affair. Gus F rigantino, the locals ' fullback, scored the first tally. Mario Messina was directly responsible for the second touchdown. He not only made the score, but did much to get the ball into a scoring position. Mario used his extreme speed to advantage on end runs and had the defense baffled. Taking the ball in mid-field, the locals promptly placed it in scoring territory. With the ball on the 6-yard stripe, Jones reversed the ball to Messina, who crossed the goal line unmolested. Jones again converted. Franklin ' s hope rested in Joe Gross, a small but shifty back, and to him goes the honor of the longest run of the day — a 40-yard sprint through half of the local team. Der- ricks, lanky Mechanic end, however, stopped his advance. Franklin ' s chief trouble was her tendency to fumble the ball. Polytechnic, 44; Venice, Registering the highest score in local prep ranks this year, the Mechanics trounced Venice, 44-0. This is the largest score made by a Poly team since 1919, when Coach Brennen ' s team rang up 69 points against Jefferson. Jimmy Jones crossed the final stripe three times, while Mario Messina, Bob Jones, James Tarr, and Dave Hubb each scored one touchdown. From this point on, the locals were constantly marching down the field, scoring one touchdown after another, with little opposition. For the first time this season, Polyites began to realize that it was splendid blocking on the part of the line and backs that enabled the squad to hang up such a fine record. Coach Brennen sent in substitute after substitute until not a single player remained on the bench. Many of the locals played their last game for dear old Poly. Of these, Jimmy Jones leads, followed by Chuck Williams, Morris Harmell, Dick Wheeler, Bill Haggerty, Quentin Rinde, Don Derricks, Javier Meneces, Gus Brigantino, Jack Sloan, Dave Hubb. 1 1 7 FOOTBALL Tf 5 ' ■ ■l; :: ' SiS j£ - ' ' 0 ' P.

Lishtweight Football The 1934 season proved to be a fair one for the Parrot Babes. Although they did not win the championship as in the past two years, the team had a fighting spirit and represented Poly in splendid style. When Coach Pop Jesson called the first practice, he was greeted by four lettermen. With these and some of last year ' s substi- tutes Coach Jesson built his team. The Babes started the season by defeating Jefferson, 9-0, after being doped to lose. The lightweights rose to great heights again defeating Man- ual, 6-0, on Dunn Field. Poly then met Huntington Park and was defeated, 7-3, in a hard contest. Washington was the other league team to defeat the locals; the score was 21-0. Gene Stiles was the most outstanding player on the squad. He was honored by the men for his splendid work when they elected him captain. Poly also had two ends to be proud of in Ralph Jones and Aram Betkijian, who played well in every game. Lightweight players who received letters were Captain Stiles, Bean, Bergman, Betkijian, Bowman, Bullock, Chan, Deguchi, Fuller, Gonzales, Hutchison, Jones, Lu- poid, Partida, Rojo, Uragami, and Manager Barney Moreno.

CrOSS-Country With only one returning letterman, Charles Scott, the prospects for the 1934 cross-country team were bleak. As Eddie Leahy helped coach football, the duty of coach fell upon Mr. Thurman, a former cross-country man at U.C.L.A. Ray Chafe was number one man, and he was followed closely by Charles Scott. Although Poly failed to win a meet, the team made a good showing considering the small turn-out. Roosevelt, Washington, U.C.L.A. Frosh, and Manual were the teams to defeat Poly. Chafe and Scott finished first and second, respectively, against Washington and the U.C.L.A. Frosh. Jack Huerta, who will return next year, ran some good races and should improve. Jacob Gon- zales, a tenth grader, has two more years ahead of him and will improve immensely. Julius Steukert proved his worth to the team by his consistent running. At the end of the season Charles Scott, who has earned two stripes, was elected captain. Those receiving letters were Captain Scott, Ray Chafe, Jacob Gonzales, Jack Huerta, Julius Steukert. 1 2 1 CROSS-COUNTRY Coach Jesson Gerth Linden Paul Mazet Al Goodlow Boswell Don Butler Don Osterholt Dave Butler Varsity Lettermen Paul Mazet, forward; Don Butler, forward; Al Goodlow, guard; Richard Osterholt, center; George Linden, forward; Bill Boswell, guard; Dave Butler, center. Jefferson Poly, 13; Jefferson, 21 Jefiferson with a fast squad defeated the Blue and Gold in the opening contest on the local court. Coach Jesson ' s men did not once threaten the Democrats, and the outcome was never in doubt. Johnson and Lace- field were too much for the Parrot varsity. Mazet found the hoop more often than any other member of the Mechanic team, scoring five points. BASKETBALL 1 2 2 Huntington Park, Manual, Fremont Poly, 18; Hun- tington Park, 27 The Spartans took things into their own hands by defeating the Mechanics, 27-18. For the second time in as many starts the locals, because of their failure to make their shots good, dropped the contest. Billy Boswell of the Blue and Gold rang up 7 points to lead his teammates. Poly, 17; Manual, 33 Continuing their losing streak, the Blue and Gold varsity took a spanking from a tricky Toiler five. The Mechanics, however, showed a vast improvement over the two previous games. The locals put up a game fight hi the first half. However, the Artisans were much superior. Poly, 22; Fremont, 10 Rated as underdogs, the Parrots pulled the greatest upset of the season when they broke into the winning column at Fremont ' s expense. The Butler twins scored 14 of the locals ' 22 points. Poly took the lead early in the contest and was never in danger of losing it. The speed and teamwork of the Mechanics won the contest. Washington, Lincoln, Fairfax Poly, 38; Washington, 18 Trouncing the Generals, the Mechanic varsity ended its league schedule with a victory. Once again the Butler twins accounted for more than half of the local digits. Dave Butler led the local hoopsters with 19 points. He was closely followed by his sharpshooting brother, Don, who made 14. Poly, 24; Lincoln, 32 Journeying to Lincoln for the first interleague battle, the Blue and Gold varsity dropped a hard-fought contest, 32-24. Despite the good playing of Al Goodlow, lanky guard, the opponents sank enough baskets to win. Don Butler again proved his worth, scoring 17 points. Poly, 14; Fairfax, 26 Again disappointing local rooters, the Mechanic five bowed to Fairfax, 26-14. The local quintet did not once threaten the Cardinal and Gold, who took the lead and never lost it. Don Butler led the Blue and Gold for the third time, scoring 10 points. Swanson starred for the visitors. He was always ' in the hair ' of the Mechanics. 1 2 3 BASKETBALL I I c - ' 0 f a • ?? i?@i? pis ' ®4 ttj ' U mv. Front row: Boswell. Goodlow, Dave Butler, Don Butler. Linden.

The season proved to be better than expected when the Blue and Gold defeated their last two opponents to finish third in the league. Jefferson, Hun- tington Park, and Manual were the league teams to trounce the local hoopsters. Lincoln and Fairfax defeated the Parrots in interleague affairs. At the end of the season Al Goodlow, lanky guard, was elected captain. He was the best defensive player on the team and prevented many possible scores. The Butler twins were a menace to local fans as well as to the opposing team because of the difficulty in telling one from another. Don and Dave were the sharpshooters of the team and between them accounted for more than half of the Mechanics ' points. Both will return for action next year. Boswell, Mazet, and Linden played a fine game of basketball for the locals. Lettermen: Captain Goodlow, Don and Dave Butler, Linden, Boswell, Mazet, Osterholt, Manager Gerth.

Lightweisht Basketball Once again Coach Mahoney, a builder of champions, won the city title with his fine light- weights. When practice was first called, little was expected from the lightweights, who had only one returning letter- man, George Rueda. As the season progressed the team improved with every game. Defeating Jefferson, Huntington Park, Manual, Fremont, and Washington, the local Babes established themselves as the first champions of the South- ern League. Coming from behind as they had in many of the league games, the locals defeated Lincoln, 32-20, and Fair- fax, 24-22, to capture the city crown. George Rueda, a two- year letterman, received All-City honors as well as the captaincy of the team. George was the sparkplug of the team and many times turned defeat into victory. The team, however, consisted of many outstanding players. Frank Gonzales played great games on the offense as well as de- fense. Vincent Ekstrum made a good running mate for Rueda at forward. Those receiving letters were Rueda, Ekstrum, Gonzales, Gossard, Hachiya, Kaplan, Tada, Manager Yates. 1 2 5 BASKETBALL Front row: Yamaguchi. Bailey, Komae. Coach Thurman. Matsui, Shultz.

Class C Basketball Led by Riyo Komae. stellar midget forward, the Cees enjoyed a very successful season. Coach Thurman ' s men ended the series with three wins and one defeat. Winning from Jefferson, 20-18, in a hard-fought battle, the locals started the season with a bang. Huntington Park, however, ended any hope the Cees had for a cham- pionship team, trouncing them 30-24. Seeking revenge for the defeat suffered at the hands of the Spartans, the Parrots gave Manual a spanking, 25-5. Another close battle, with Washington, which the locals won, 20-18, ended the season. Riyo Komae was awarded the captaincy of the team for his splendid work during the season. Woonyong Park, guard, played his position well. He was always on his toes and many times prevented scores. Yamaguchi, a two-year letterman, turned in many fine games, as did Sam Schultz. The players on the Class C squad who received letters at the end of the season were Captain Komae, Schultz, Park, Hachiya, Bailey, Matsui, Yamaguchi, a nd Manager Shirley.

Class D Basketball For the first time in the history of Poly a Class D basketball team was organized. Howard Chapman, a former varsity player, was appointed coach, and he did a fine job. His team showed this by tying for first with two other schools in the league. Jefferson defeated the locals, who were a little unorganized, 20-17. As the season progressed, the D ' s improved remarkably, as is shown by their record. In defeating Huntington Park 25-21 the Parrots showed plenty of class. The local five was too much for Washington, and they fell to the wayside, taking an 18-14 drubbing. John Chung was captain and the star of the team. Woonsun Park aided the squad greatly with his speed and all-around playing. Coach Chapman was fortunate in having such fine material to work with. The boys who were out for the squad displayed some excellent teamwork as well as a fighting spirit. It is hoped that D teams will be retained in future years. Letters were presented to the following men: Captain Chung, Park, Kim, Harada, GiUies, and Schultz. 1 2 7 BASKETBALL League Meets Failing to win the all-important thirds, fourths, and fifths which proved the difference between victory and defeat, the locals were subdued by Manual, 78 V2 -56 1 2. Gene Smith outshone all his rivals by scoring 20 points. He won the side and long horse, tumbling, and the horizontal bar. Other individual members performed well. In spite of the fact that Gene Smith was out of the meet, the Blue and Gold team easily defeated Fremont, 87-53, in the Pathfinder gym. Jim Van Nada placed first and second in the tumbling and horizontals, respectively. Many splendid performances were turned in by the Mechanic gymnasts. The Poly varsity lost to the huskies from Washington, 77-72. They were unable to overcome a 10-point lead going into the last event, the rings. The free exercise was the show in which the locals fell down. Had they scored as expected, the result might have been different. Gene Smith counted for 19 of the local points, while Ted March rang up 14. V.lty Meet The Los Angeles gymnasts held their annual affair in the Manual gym. The Toilers led the field with 50 points. They were followed closely by the Mechanics, who rang up 28i - Third position was taken by Washington. Nine of the ten first places went to Southern League schools. Four of them were taken by Toiler athletes, two by Poly, and two by Washington. Gene Smith retained his fine rec- ord by winning the tumbling and placing third in the hori- zontal bar and second in the long horse. Jim Van Nada captured first place in the rings. He gave a great demonstra- tion of perfect coordination and was the outstanding man of the whole meet. In the free exercise Serrano placed second to boost the locals ' tally. Over 150 men participated in the meet, and the competition was very keen. Benton of Manual gave the spectators a thrill when he climbed the rope in record-breaking time. He traveled the distance in 6.2 sec- onds. Manual had too much all-around strength for the other schools, winning many places to back up her four firsts.

The Poly tracksters swept four events — the half, quarter, mile, and the low hurdles. Borjes started the ball rolling by winning the 880 in the fair time of 2: 10. He was followed across the line by Chafe and Manley. Stinson placed in both sprints. The times were 10.2 and 22.2, the latter being very fast. Tom Bradley was the local high point man with 9 units. He won the 440 and tied for first in the high jump. In the quarter Tom showed plenty of speed and easily won in the splendid time of 52 seconds. Bill Gilbert sailed through the air with the greatest of ease in the broad jump, winning with a leap of 22 feet, 10 inches. The hurdles were the big surprise of the meet. Pecel captured the lows in 26.9 and was followed closely by Williams. Oberman won the highs in 17.4. First place in the weight event was taken by Huntington Park, second and third being taken by Wesson and Derricks. TRACK 1935 1 3 Polytechnic, 40|; Fremont, 63| The Pathfinders had too much all-around strength for the local cindermen. Coach Glenn Berry ' s sprinter, Bob Stinson, was shut out in the century by a trio of Pathfinders. This was a surprise to local fans, who expected Bob to come in no less than second. As usual, the hurdles were the local weakness. Fremont captured 17 of the 18 points. Chuck Williams gathered the lone score in the lows. Tom Bradley ' s performance in the quarter startled the visitors as well as Polyites. Nesbitt, the Pathfinder entry, pressed Tom on the back-stretch. How- ever, Bradley never relinquished his lead and won in the excellent time of 50.4. Borjes and Vollmer won the half and mile, respectively, for the Mechanics. Borjes was timed in 2:05 for the 880, while Vollmer came home in 4:52.3. Derricks heaved the shot better than 45 feet, adding three points to the local tally. Libke was the big surprise of the day. He defeated Bradley in the high jump by two inches and won at 6 feet. Libke will be a dangerous threat in future meets. Coach Berry ' s men gave a good account of them- selves. They lost only because they faced a stronger team. Polytechnic, 35|; Washington, 68| The Blue and Gold cindermen failed to live up to expectations against a strong General team. Poly ' s lone hope, Tom Bradley, failed to place in either of his events, the 220 and high jump. Wash- ington took eight of the eleven events. Bill Gilbert won the broad jump with a leap of 20 feet, 9l inches. Don Derricks surprised Polyites when he pushed the iron ball 43 feet to garner five points. Sidney led a fair field of quartermilers to the tape in the slow time of 53.8. Sprecher of Washington defeated Bob Stinson in the 100 and Bob Quick in the fur- long, Stinson taking third in the 220. The times were not impressive. The Generals took one, two, three, in both hurdles and in the high jump. Borjes, local halfmiler, found LeBarts too fast. The latter turned in a good performance, winning easily in 2: 03.5. In the mile the Washington entry showed the local milers plenty of class and took the event with the greatest of ease. The Parrots captured the relay by five yards in 3:09.2. The failure of Coach Berry ' s men to come through in track events cost the Mechanics the meet. 1 3 1 TRACK 1935 Mr Berrv Dave Wesson Robert Stinson Robert Quick Luka Pecel Armando Cordova TRACK 1935 1 3 2 JeFferson, 70 Polytechnic, 34 Coach Harry Edel- son ' s track and field team proved to be the finest seen on the local cinderpath this year. The Democrats had things their own way in most of the events and captured the meet by the score of 70-34. Lacefield, lanky Democrat, was the high-point man of the meet. He tallied 13 points, winning the broad jump, the high hurdles, and placing second in the shot. His leap of 23 feet, 2 inches is one of the greatest ever recorded in the Blue and Gold pit. Allen, his teammate, won the century in 10 flat and the furlong in 22.3. In both sprints Jefferson took all three places. Tom Bradley scored eight units to lead Coach Berry ' s men in the score column. He took the quarter-mile easily in 51.6 and placed second in the high jump. Gilbert ' s splendid jump over 21 feet was only good enough to place third. In any other meet he would have won at that distance. Don Derricks extended himself in the shot, heaving the weight 46 feet, 11 inches to capture first place. The experts gave the locals 20 points. However, many of Coach Berry ' s men turned in their best performances and thus tallied 34 markers. The meet was interesting throughout, and many good marks were made. Manual Arts, 75 Polytechnic, 29 Meeting Manual on the home oval ended a fair season for the Blue and Gold. Manual was just as powerful as had been expected and ran away with the meet. The Toilers were particularly strong in the field events. Here they scored thirty-two points out of a possible thirty-six. Martin of Manual won the pole vault at the amazing height of 12 feet, 6 inches. Plumley, his teammate, was second. McDaniels took the high jump with a splendid leap of 6 feet, 1 inch. Tom Bradley tied with Nave, the other Toiler entry, at 6 feet. Don Derricks, local strong man, was only able to place third in his favorite event, the shot. Borjes started the ball rolling by winning the half-mile in the time of 2: 07.7. Mario Messina, who had been on the sidelines all season because of an injured muscle in his leg, ran a fine third in the century. Cushnie, the Toiler flash, won both sprints in fair time. Stinson and Quick took second and third, respectively, in the furlong. Tom Bradley had no trouble in winning the quarter. He took it easy despite the fast time of 50.4. Bud Vollmer, diminutive miler, placed a close second to Root of Manual in the mile. Root ran the distance in 4:47. Poly won the relay by five yards, and the final league meet was completed. A fine crowd of loyal Polyites turned out to witness the encounter. 1 3 3 TRACK 1935 Southern CaliFornia The Mechanic Varsity had only one entry in the Southern CaUfornia interscholastic track and field championships. Tom Bradley was the member of the Blue and Gold who survived the preliminaries at Los Angeles High. He coasted to an easy win in the preliminaries in 52 flat. On the fast track of the Coliseum and with ex- cellent quarter-mile competition, Tom ran the greatest race of his life. He was clocked in the fastest time recorded in Southern California this year. The watch registered 49.7 for the quarter-mile. Coach Thurman ' s lightweights were repre- sented by Dave Drasin, the stellar Babe shot putter. He took second in his event and set a new Poly Class B record of 48 feet, 11% inches. The Southern League was well represented. Jefferson won all three divisions, the A. B. and C. Montgomery of El Monte set a new record in the broad jump and advanced the mark to 23 feet, ll- ' ji, inches. Raitt of Fullerton made a new record in the shot put, win- ning the event at 55 feet, IO14 inches. The Los Angeles city schools dominated the meet and captured five first places.

Coach Thurman ' s squad lacked the necessary team strength to make a bid for the title. The Parrots had only one event, the 1320, in which more than one place could be expected. Gonzales, Huerta, and Brink- haus were the three men who represented Poly in the light- weight ' mile. ' Dave Drasin and Pat Bowman, the only re- turning lettermen, were the leading B tracksters. Dave broke the school record in the 10-pound shot with a tre- mendous heave of 48 feet, 11% inches. He placed second in the Southern California meet. Pat also ran the high sticks in very fast time throughout the season. He also broad- jumped and led the team in scoring. Frank Alonso was the entry in the 660 and turned in many fine races. Cordova was the team ' s century man and ran a lap on the relay team. Eddie Glass was runner-up to Bowman in scoring. He competed in the high jump and was the best entry on Coach Thurman ' s squad in the furlong race. Letters were awarded to Alonso, Bowman, Brinkhaus, Cordova, Drasin, Glass, Gonzales, Huerta, Nielson, Singleton, Manager Yates. 1 3 5 TRACK 1935 Top row: York. Park, Gottlieb. Schultz, Birnbaum.

Hun- tington Park captured the first meet by the slim margin of two points. This contest was held on the Spartan oval. The Midgets traveled to Washington High for their second league encounter. Once again the locals ran up against stiff competition and dropped the affair by the count of 46-30. After one week of rest the Parrots met and lost to Jefferson. 54-23, on the home lot. The Democrats were far superior to the Mechanics in every event and proved to be the best C team ev er to perform on Dunn Field. The Midgets closed the schedule with Manual, losing their fourth straight meet. Chaldu broke the long-standing school record in the low hurdles of 14.9. He set a new mark of 14.5. The relay team was by far the best Poly has ever had. The quartet of Mc- Vay, Riceard, Castro, and Haehiya set a new standard of 45.8 for the 440, improving the old record two seconds. Letters were awarded to Bernstein, Castro, Haehiya, Ric- eard, Chaldu, Hanggie, Gottlieb, McVay, and Matsuoka. TRACK 1935 1 3 6 Coach Mahoney. Betkijian, Minasian, Smith. Maxham. Saxton, Jones. Diehm. Divot Digsers Despite the good playing of several mem- bers of the golf team, the Blue and Gold golfers failed to win a match. The local five dropped two encounters to Washington and Manual and one to Huntington Park. Man- ual was the toughest foe the team met during the season. The contest with the Spartans was the most evenly matched. Coach Mahoney ' s men dropped this contest, 3-2. The Blue and Gold mashie wielders had one remaining encounter on their schedule to be played against Huntington Park. The team improved immensely as the season progressed. Coach Mahoney had a splendid golfer in Socko Minasian. He was by far the leading player on the team, always shooting in the high seventies. His best mark was 72, par for the Sunset course. Glen Smith was the only returning letter- man and played number two position. Bob Jones and Walter Diehm played number four and five, respectively, shooting in the nineties. Jim Saxton improved more than any other member of the team, shooting low eighties as the season ended. Coach Mahoney awarded letters to Minasian, Smith, Jones, Diehm, Saxton, Maxham, and Manager Betkijian. 1 3 7 TRACK 1935 G. A. A.

I picture it clearly — the long summer day When we lingered through lessons, but rushed out to play; And the sweet little teacher we tried hard to tease, But the very next minute were anxious to please; The worn wooden desks with memories laden, With initials and hearts carved to a maiden — The creaking old floor, the three-legged stool. The gay-colored mottos that taught us by rule. How we studied our piece for a program each week. And mounted the platform uncommonly meek! How we boasted next day that our knees didn ' t shake, And dreamed of the Lincolns we surely would make. When four o ' clock came — dear me, what a sight As we gay-hearted children skipped home for the night. Mother Witch tagged us or bean bags flew fast As we loitered the roads, then raced breathless at last. Now the little old school stands sadly alone, The spirits of happiness faraway flown. Around it the shadows silently creep. And fold it softly in undisturbed sleep. — Gladys Atkins, W ' 36 1 4 9 AUDITORIUM 1935 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS During the space of the school year the editor and his staff have worked conscientiously to make this edition possible. Thanks must be given first to the staff advisers, Miss Metkiff and Miss Kjelland, for their splendid advice and aid in the planning of this yearbook. Mr. Dwinell and the Board of Finance also should be complimented for their untiring efforts in putting over the sale of the Annual and their supervision of the finances in general. Unusually fine pictures were obtained this year, and we are grateful to both Mr. Barnes of the Keystone Studio for his courteous service and to Mr. Brennen for his splendid help in arranging the groups. We are also indebted to those in charge of the portrait work in the studio for their helpful interest and efforts to please.

One way to realize this is to bear in mind the differences between the past and the present. One of the noteworthy developments in education is the department of athletics. Organized and super- vised spoi-t was unknown in the schools of earlier days, although games and contests were common. The idea of including such activities as a regular part of the school program is modern. The sheer joy of spirited competition makes athletics worthwhile. But there are other facts which explain the prominence given to physical training in modern life. At first one thinks of it as an activity for development of the body only. This is not true. On the field and in the gymnasium the necessity for quick decision and action train the mental powers of the competitors. The boy is taught to pit his brains as well as his brawn against the next fellow. But the most important result of team- work and competition are the fine friendships that are formed and the high degree of sports- manship developed. All these advantages jus- tify giving an important place to athletics on the school program.

Slocum, W ' 12 Secretary-Treasurer When Noah sailed the waters blue He had troubles, same as you. For forty days he drove the ark Before he found a place to park. Javier: Say, dad, do teachers get paid for teaching? Dad: Certainly. J.M.: I don ' t think that ' s right when we pupils have to do all the work. On the day for the honor as- sembly, one of the bright lights wended his way home with down- cast eyes. His mother was enter- taining callers when he reached the house. Well, Dave, said Mrs. Wesson, did you get a prize? I didn ' t exactly get a prize, answered Chris, but I got a hor- rible mention. Little Jo Haines has always had more than her share of trouble. In the elementary school, it was English. One day she said to her mother: I see how it is now. Hens set and lay and people sit and he, don ' t they? Art Watts tells this on Johnny Carrick: They were discussing the North American Indian, and the teacher asked if anyone could tell what the leaders of the tribes were called. Chiefs, answered one bright little girl. Correct. Now, can any of you tell me what the women are called? There was silence for a time, then Johnny frantically waved his hand for recognition. Well, Johnny? said the in- structor. Mischiefs! he proudly an- nounced. iGE REAM iJice .-ArFanies A t Hom e- At S chooL .Good UMOI gOfcfcywp ou 1122 1 5 8 yAT« S %• ' n . ■u ' , ' - .
