It is, therefore, we believe, fitting that the theme of this book be The Art of Living - Today at Poly. Three years are given to each of us at Polytechnic-three glorious years in which to learn our school's teachings, her mystery, her traditions, her compan- ionship, and her ability to give us friends. In those three years lies the tale of some of the happiest moments we have ever spent. f' Q , J W j. X ,L I f 1, , f ki, -is-if ij' -Q - 'D QL f.Contents ',mWMUMsTRAT1oN FACULTY f.

Today, as you stand upon the threshold of graduation, there is nothing that should so inspire you as the knowledge that you are novv privileged to belong to that growing family of loyal Polyites among whose number are to be found many of the leaders who have pioneered in building Los Angeles and the great southwest. Looking back over the past three years We are conscious that friendships have played an important part in our lives. In keeping with this ideal it is both fitting and proper that the theme of this number of The Polytechnic Stu- , pypy y,yyA ,z s ' dent should deal with the fine art of living today at Polytechnic. Embodied within the covers of this book will be found many refer- ences to the beauties of our school, to the joys of friendship and the satisfaction of work well done. My parting wish for all members of the Winter and Summer classes of nineteen thirty- nine is that the spirit of youth will continue indefinitely in the life of each of you, that you will all find happiness and contentment in your chosen fields and that the future will hold for you a life of successful achievements, noble deeds, and beautiful memories. As you leave the halls of Polytechnic the best wishes of the faculty are yours to the end that each of you may achieve the truest success in your life work. Sincerely your friend, K. L. STOCKTON fast nfl Ki ADELE HUMPHREY Woe-Prjnci pals l. G. GOODSELL The art of living today at Polytechnic in- volves the old but ever-beautiful Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would that others should do unto you. There are many at Polytechnic who do live by this precept. They are the ones who return lost articles: who refrain from dis- turbing classes and the library: Who go about at a pace which does not endanger the well-being of fellow students: who make room on bench or bleacher for all who can be accommodated. In short, it is simple acts of social concern that make up the art of living with others anywhere. ADELE HUMPHREY A definition of the word art is, the skill- ful and systematic arrangement or adapta- tion of means for the attainment of some end. Polytechnic High School is made up of students and faculty, not of buildings and equipment. In order to make living today at Polytechnic an art, one must strive to attain some Worthy end. Without that ambition no one arrives. The means for attainment are within the individuals who are living together in this great school. Without a Willingness and de- sire to be guided, students and teachers never succeed in arriving at a desired goal. The great scientist Charles Steinmetz said, Cooperation is not a sentiment-it is an economic necessity. l. G. GOODSELL Every student of Polytechnic knows the kindly manner in which Miss Mulvihill, counselor, and Mr. lesson, registrar, carry on their Work. Miss Mulvihill and her staff talk with each student every term about courses, professions, and vocations. Mr. Iesson's efficiency in matters of attendance and guidance have Won the respect and friendship of all the students he meets. Both make invaluable contributions to life at Polytechnic.

J I fi I nf if -of I ' 5 , The ART DEPARTMENT serves a dual purpose, giving those inter- ested in art as a means of livelihood an idea of what is expected of a commercial artist, and something of the background of art to those interested in its cultural side. Making cuts for The Optimist, doing the art work for the Annual, and making posters for display provide practical training for art students ....... In the COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT, l present to you this Certificate of Vocational Effi- ciency are the words every student hopes to hear before graduation. These certificates, issued to the ten per cent of the commercial graduates chosen by the entire commercial faculty, are recognized by Los Angeles business men as excellent recommendations. Among courses which train students for the business world of today are salesrnanship, merchandising, shorthand, typing, and bookkeeping ....... The ENGLISH DEPARTMENT is concerned in the development of language power. It plans to carry out the mastery of English as a science, as a tool, as a history, and as a joy. In addition to classes in all language arts, there are classes in public speaking, drama, composition, Ameri- canization, journalism, and literature. Valuable assistance is given by the entire faculty in the preparation of assembly programs and in the training of speakers and entrants in various contests ....... The HOUSEHOLD ARTS DEPARTMENT boasts a record enrollment of six hundred fifty students. In a varied schedule are special classes for seniors in dietetics, home management, boys' foods, and social arts. Trade schools show preference for Poly graduates of cosme- tology, power sewing, and other household arts courses. Costumes are provided by the sewing classes for participants in many programs. . . . . . . The INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT has added much new equipment this year. To assist the student in choosing a career, it provides exploratory experience in various fields. To the pupil who has already chosen his career, intensive training is given in the field of his choice. The courses which at present offer this vocational train- ing are architecture, auto mechanics, cabinetmaking, and printing. It is hoped that several more can be added next year ....... FOREIGN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT students strive for a reasonably good pronunciation, a basic understanding of grammar, and the cul- tural background of the language studied. Interest in world affairs cultivated here promotes pe through better understanding and leads toward world friendship. department helps many clubs with plays and songs in French, Sp h, German, and Latin ....... MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT instructors plan to fit some students for college and to fit others for work in everyday life. An admirable ffm lilly ffl J 1 ',,rl'.Q,tf' fjvfif WW Registrar's Office Biology :cial Studies Aircraft Drafting WoOd-Tufnjng AWOQMJY? job is being done in each case. The usual college preparatory course is given, and this year a new class, senior mathematics, has been added to the curriculum, designed to give seniors a chance to review arithmetic as applied to problems of daily life and an appreciation of the value of facility in the use of numbers. The course was at once popular ....... Many students in the MUSIC DEPARTMENT are studying for their own enjoyment, but a small group is studying to get the necessary foundation for professional careers. Members of the music organizations assist in many assembly programs and at parties. The string quartet, choral groups, and members of the orches- tra perform also off the campus over radio, at the Shrine Auditorium, and in churches ....... Interested in building character as Well as bodies, the BOYS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT schedules regular gym classes, corrective classes for those who need them, and teams in all the sports. Special interest is taken in the Gym Club, and members have appeared on several programs for the rest of the school during the year ....... The GIRLS' PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT is actively engaged in creating interest in sports and games among the girls. Besides the regular courses in gymnastics, there are several popular classes such as rhythm work, hockey, ten- nis, and the new swimming class. Entering into competition with other schools on Girls' Play Days, the Poly girls' teams seldom fail to win honors ....... Courses in the SCIENCE DEPARTMENT are based on the fact that, in this day of great scientific advancement, it is necessary for everyone to know something of science. As only students expecting to go to college usually enroll for a second year in the department, a new course, physical science, which is a mixture of physics and chemistry, provides valuable experience for students not expecting to continue schooling after graduation. Experiments performed in the laboratories make science of vital interest to the pupils ....... In the SOCIAL STUDIES DEPARTMENT the emphasis is on problems of American citizenship. This department teaches the functioning of our government and our duty towards it as citizens. A working knowledge of the major laws passed by Congress is acquired. The faculty of the department gives valuable assistance to students who enter school and city contests on related subjects ....... The SPECIAL DEPARTMENT offers some of the most interesting classes in Polytechnic and some which are not duplicated in any city school. It provides classes in orientation, foreign opportunity, Americanization, and training for deaf and for blind students. Poly has the only Braille department in the city high schools. Their excellent equipment includes a Braille machine, several typewriters, and an extensive Braille library. Pottery Chemistry Cosmq MRS. IULIA GOBRECI-IT, Commerce MRS. OLGA GREENWQOD, Science MR.

Victory with Honor, the motto of the Associated Student Body Organization, symbolizes the ideal- istic purpose ot the A.S.B.O. The standards and examples of the cabinet influence and stimulate higher interests tor the students. The realistic pur- pose ot the organization is the consideration ot all questions of general interest to the school. The cabinet consists of the student body president, Vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, and presidents or heads of the primary organizations: Boys' and Girls' Self-Governments, Boys' and Girls' Leagues, Scholarship Society, Ionian Society, Annual Staff, Optimist Staff, Board of Finance, Board of Publicity, and Usher Force. lt is sponsored by two faculty 26 M HECTOR VILLALOBOS Ionian Society President MARIE IOHNSON Scholarship Society President IOHN ASTENGO Optimist Editor PHOEBE DEMOREST Optimist Editor 4' 4 4 1 ,N f X' y ft f 1 215 ' . 4 li fy X X f ff FLORENCE STANLEY Annual Editor GENE SIGNOR House Manager AL PHILLIPS Board of Publicity President BILL LUMLEY Head Yell Leader representatives, Miss Montgomery and Mr. Pratt, advisers, are understanding, progressive, and most popular.

Secondary organi- zations, all other clubs and societies, may send representatives to A.S.B.O. meetings to bring up questions of importance to their organizations. Work done by the cabinet during the Winter term included considering constitutions, emblems, pins, and sweaters ot various clubs: sponsoring a cam- paign for keeping the campus clean: presenting a meeting before the Parent-Teacher Association: buying and decorating a Christmas tree which was HAL HOLKER, President FLORA MARQUEZ, 1 . - 1 1 E HX x , I tc my , .

The constitution was amended to change the cabinet membership. Starting the S'39 term with a bang, the Associated Student Body Organization sponsored the Blue and Gold Prom in the month following their inauguration. Passing approval on sweaters, pins, and emblems for Poly clubs, planning the Honor Awards Assem- bly, making Hello Day a success, keeping the campus clean, and passing on the general questions which came before them are some of the things the S'39 cabinet did. Red Goulet, head yell leader, suggested the establishment of a perpetual trophy for the club winning the float contest held each year for the track rally. The suggestion was approved. At the end of each semester, their term's work over, the cabinet members at a carefully appointed tea turn their offices over unofficially to the newly elected A.S.B.O. officers. ln an assembly of the student body, officers are officially installed. The members of the cabinet this year left a record of hard work and interesting activities, activities which have kept high the ideals, enthusiasms, and qualities of student life and The Art of Living - Today at Poly. 27 fx G 41 :r W'39 Boys Self- Government Cabinet Row 1: Kurken Kazarian, ce, en ce o, presi- dent, Bill Mausser, Frank Amatuzio.

Boys' Self-G overnment Since the introduction of self-government by Mr. Iohn H. Francis at Polytechnic in 1904, schools the world over have become self-governing. Today at Poly, under Mr. Hilt's sponsorship, two hundred fifty boys are members of the Boys' Self-Government, one of the greatest assets of the school. The aim of the organization is to control actions of the student body through student participation in the govern- ment of the school and in general to promote the motto of this organization, A maximum of order with a minimum of restraint. Among the duties of the boys is the maintenance of order in the halls, cafeteria, on bounds, and about the campus generally. A new duty this term is that of the number of locker identification. To thefts from lockers, the originated the idea of having the owner's on the inside of his locker. Then when a get something from his locker while session, he signs a paper with one of Government representatives who are at ends of the halls.

Members of the Boys' Self-Government cabinet are elected by the boys of the school. Representa- tives are chosen by recommendation from teachers and by application. The merit scores and scholar- ship records of all representatives must be satis- factory. The chief justice of the Student Court is also a member of the Boys' Self-Government cabinet. Parties for the representatives are given each term, and all boys who assist the Self-Government are invited to attend. Members of the Boys' and Girls' Self-Government cabinets felt that an entertaining assembly for the student body might be a way of letting the students know that Self-Government is not only a disciplinary system but also one which works for everyone's benefit: so the combined Self-Governments pre- sented a school Talent Show. The show was an outstanding success and realized its purpose, for it emphasized the fact that Self-Government is a demo- atic organization. WJ x 1 ' ' 1' 1 iff?

I Girls' Self-Government With sixty members dressed in blue sweaters with blue and gold emblems, to carry out its busi- ness of maintaining order in the halls, the Girls' Self-Government has many of the same activities as does the Boys' Self-Government. As maintaining order in the halls is the most important activity of this organization, the chairman of halls is an im- portant member of the cabinet. She has the respon- sibility of instructing the monitors in their duties. W'39 chairman of halls was Minnie Playan: S'39 chairman was Emily Marshall. The Girls' Selt- Government motto is the same as that of the Boys' Self-Government, A maximum of order with a mini- mum of restraint. The cabinet meets once a week: the representatives have a meeting once a month, at which members of the faculty speak on self-govern- ment. The president of the Girls' Advisory Board is a member of the cabinet. W'39 Girls' Advisory Board president was Doreen Hussey, and S'39, Ruth MacMullin. Representatives of the Girls' Self-Gov- ernment, too, are chosen from teachers' recom- mendations and from applicants. Merit scores and scholarship records of all representatives must be satisfactory. Activities of the girls are not all concerned with work, parties are given, too. In the W'39 term, Nancy Lee Smith, president, dressed in a lovely Spanish costume, presided over a party with a Spanish theme. The girls' part in the Talent Show which the Girls' Self-Government sponsored with the Boys' Self-Government, was presided over by Alice Mar- shall, S'39 prexy. Every term the two Self-Govern- ments sponsor a school dance with the Hi Y and Tri Y. The W'39 dance was given with a Let's Go Collegiate theme. Mrs. Dasso is the sponsor of this organization, and it is with her help that the Girls' Self-Govern- ment carries out its activities so well, furnishing self-governing training and experience - an in- valuable part always in the Art of Living. ap!!

In the Christmas and Memorial Day programs, especially, the society excels. By sponsoring these superlative aud calls. the Ionian Society stimulates, in students of the eleventh and twelfth grades, interest in literature. music, public speaking, and current events. Mrs. Cage and Mrs. Iohnson sponsor the Ionians. Officers of the society are elected by the eleventh and twelfth graders of the school. Under the presi- dency of Hector Villalobos in the W'39 term, the society presented, on November 17, to the Ionian members a Thanksgiving program featuring a play given by Mask and Sandal. On March l, under the direction of Wesley Gardner, two films were shown to the student body, Romance of Louisiana and Man without a Country. Because of these interesting assemblies, the Ionian Society, founded in 1897, has long enjoyed an im- mense popularity throughout the school. 30 W'39 and S'39 Ionian Cabinets Row 1: Virginia Dasso, W'39 vice-president, Hec- tor Villalobos, W'39 pres- ident, Mrs. Cage, ad- viser, Wesley Gardner, S'39 president, Loretta Parks, S'39 vice-presi- dent.

The one hundred six Scholarship mem- bers are off for a glorious day of fun! Once a year, all members of the Scholarship Society are excused from school for a day to go on a picnic. This is not the only reward for high scholarship. If a student has been in the society four semesters out of six, one of which is in his Senior year, he receives a C.S.F. award at a general assembly, life membership in the California Scholarship Fed- eration, and a gold seal on his diploma. Two interesting activities of the society are the Christmas card sales and the After High School, What? Week, dedicated to all Seniors who plan to go to college. Information about colleges is then given to those who request it. The Scholarship Society, with its interesting peo- ple, meetings, and activities, is indeed worthy of praise, largely because of the enthusiastic work of Mrs. Hurst, sponsor, cabinet members, and the assistant sponsors.

One of these was the first Boys' League Talent Show, carried out under the excellent and enthusiastic presidency of Fred Pierce, W'39. This show will become a semi- annual affair. Another semi-annual activity is the Fathers' and Sons' Banquet, inaugurated with great success this term by Iim McArthur. Held each year are the wrestling tournaments. The winners of the various divisions receive medals. To promote a bet- ter understanding among the fellows is the chief aim of the league. Its motto is Clean Speech, Clean Sports, Clean Living. All boys who are students of Polytechnic auto- matically become Boys' League members. The business of the league is carried on by four execu- tive members and ninety representatives, under the sponsorship of Mr. Handy, who, back in the '20's, was himself an officer in Poly's Boys' League. N , 'S . f 5 ,-, P T r, 'f Girls League Orchids to the Girls' League! From the first day of the term to the last, its work is to be seen con- stantly. More friendships for every Poly girl is what the league makes possible. The activities of the league are varied: the Big and Little Sister Party for Seniors and new Scrubs: in the fall, a Variety Show, from which the proceeds go toward the Christmas work done at California Street School every year: in the spring, Cotton Day, the gala celebration of the league. Besides these, there are the noon and after-school mixers and the aud calls. Miss Humphrey, Rosemary Saunders, and Sophie Sakellaris attended the league convention in Phoenix, Arizona, bringing home inspiring reports. The girls are guided in these activities by Miss Pye, who has sponsored the league since 1935. Cabinet members turn over their offices at the end of the term at a beautiful candle-lit ceremony, symbolic of the girls' sincerity and idealism. 31 , ,fx K ? lu if T' ' W'39 and S'39 Merit Boards I Iune Raiff, S'39 president, Mr. Hansen, adviser, Ann ,.

It meets every other Thurs- day during home room period for the benefit of those students. Anyone who wishes to have demerits canceled comes to the board and states the reasons for cancellation. The S'39 Merit Board revised the Merit System a little this term. Members had thought that some of the cabinet members received too many merits and others too few. The aim of the organization is to please the students with the Merit System through fair inter- pretation of its regulations. There were six members during the year on the Merit Board. Members are recommended for the positions by teachers, board members, and students. 32 , 3 S'39 Board of Publicity Row 1: Wesley Gardner, Mr. Petterson, adviser, Har- old Rakoobian, Roy Marriott.

As one poster represents hours of work, it is easy to see how busy the board members are at all times. Every new effort better than the last seems to be a fitting motto for this organization. The board uses many colors painted on long streamers, which are posted about the campus in prominent places to advertise the school activities. Near perfection in line, letter, and color of posters and streamers has brightened the campus, commanded attention, and strengthened interest in various Poly enterprises. Mr. Petterson, who is sponsor of the Board of Publicity, came to Poly last September and has made a prominent place for himself in the interest of the school. 7 ,, .,... ,N W'39 and S'39 Girls' Advisory ,M Boards Row 1: Beth Curtiss, W'39 secretary, Doreen Hussey, W'39 president, Mrs. Green- wood, adviser, Ruth Mac- Mullin, S'39 president, Dere- lys Gull, S'39 secretary.

Girls' Advisory Board The Girls' Advisory Board is made up of girls who have for their aim the wish to build up the ideals of the girls of the school. They offer friendly advice, uphold the standards of the school, try to be an inspiration to offenders, and aid the girls of Poly by setting a goal for them to attain. The board, under Mrs. Greenwood's sponsorship, meets Mon- days and Thursdays at noon. Sometimes girls who are lonely or are not self- governing are guided by the girls on the board to find their places in Poly life. The board cooperates, helping with any P.-T.A. programs, assembly programs, and wherever they are needed. Advice that is Friendly from the Advisory girls has brought to many Polyites the right to say, and charmingly we live. 31 Y Student Court Seven boys during the year meet each week under the sponsorship of Mr. Hansen for the pur- pose of helping the boys of Polytechnic. The judges of the court must pass sentence, but they have a real feeling of success only when they can steer a fellow straight instead of merely giving him demerits. These boys are trying to do all in their power to make useful students of the boys who come before them - to show them that at Poly they have all the opportunities to build foundations for happy and successful lives. The judges themselves are broad-minded boys and are greatly desirous of helping other boys. Their aims are to create justice with honor, to readjust those who in their actions have shown feelings of discord, and to maintain ever higher ideals at Polytechnic. W'39 Board of Finance Row 1: I.

With that as their motto, the Board of Finance members aim to satisfy the need of every customer, whether it be a two-cent stamp or an architectural draftsman draw- ing set. The duty of the Board of Finance is to handle all money collected in any Way on the campus. It has under its jurisdiction the manage- ment of confections and student store departments: it has charge of the sales of tickets for all athletic events and for all entertainments. lt is responsible for the sales campaign receipts and disbursements of the Annual, Optimist, and Poly High. The Board of Ffnance, with its thirty-six members and Mr. Dwinell, adviser, is the student body treasury. , . . f ij ' I J fl Hello Day 34 Talent Show 171' 'X W'39 at X Board of Control Row 1: Charles Iones, lean Phillips, Mr. Goodsell, ad- viser, Audrey Poulos, Mr. Dwinell, adviser, Charlotte Honig, I.

Whether the request be for a dance or for a new camera tor the photography department, it must go through the hands of the board. Mr. Dwinell and Mr. Good- sell are the sponsors. They see that the money is not handled too liberally for the budget. Every year in May they work with the board to prepare a budget for the coming year. The Board of Control is made up of eight mem- bers: chairman, secretary, A.S.B.O. president, vice- president, secretary, and treasurer, and two mem- bers of the Board of Finance. The purpose of the board is to see that the student body finances are guarded and guided for sate spending. A-L. - - LX f. 'fYwu.

Probably the most beautiful and impressive ceremony ever to grace the Polytechnic Auditorium is now only a memory deep in the hearts of all the graduates who helped make this traditional event so successful. The Aristocrats of Winter '39 tip their top hats in a last farewell gesture to their Alma Mater, after three joyous years in the happy atmosphere of Polytechnic. We look back with pride and satisfaction upon class achievements: our victory over the confident Baby B's in the traditional tug of war, the highlight which stands foremost in our minds: Going on Seventeen, the most out- standing class play, produced at Poly under the modest but most capable sponsorship of our adviser, Mrs. Fennessy. The class leaves to the school, as gifts, an album and a dynamic microphone, which we sincerely hope will relay the assembly programs to the audiences satisfactorily. With our diplomas in our hands, signifying completion of senior high school, we, the youth of today, are beginning to assume the responsibilities that will make us citizens of tomorrow. We have pledged ourselves to live up to our class motto, High Hopes, High Ideals, High Achievements, and in all ways to transmit this city, not only not less, but far greater than it was transmitted to us.

Vivian Bates Catalina Maytorena N Martha Pastrana Robert Kursinski Q- I The future beckons in the distance, 3 Bidding us to say adieu, 9 Calling us to take the challenge Of a life so strangely new. But shades of sorrow steal not o'er us, Eve 1.10 SH H For within our hearts will lie g A deep affection, recollection, Youth Of our dear old Poly High. Chorus Unconquerable We'd tell our Alma Mater dear Sffengfh The thoughts our hearts convey: We'd say how much we love her Eternal Beauty If we only knew the way. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, And our hearts will proudly swell As a voice from those who love us Bids its fondest Fare-thee-well. II Achilleans are marching forward, Leaving here our friends so true: Knowing that we'll ne'er forget them, And the happy days we knew. 'Tis a time when happy faces Should reflect their joys supreme: Those to come will fill our places: They must carry on our dream. Achillean Farewell For three long years we have looked forward to our graduation from Polytechnic. Now that the time has come, we are sad and our hearts seem to sigh with heart-break. We have roamed its campus and struggled up its grades: we ever dread the thought of leaving. We shall leave behind us many glorious memories: our last Blue and Gold Prom, Senior Field Day, our never-to-be-forgotten Rendezvous, and our highly esteemed and beloved advisers: but we shall never forget the culture, inspira- tions, and the high ideals which we have developed here. We have built ourselves stronger both morally and physically, and we have developed ourselves for the vocations which we most desire. In our conquest, much like that of the mighty Romans, we proudly quote the illustrious Caesar, We came, we saw, we conquered. In viewing our long list of accomplishments we can not and will not stop here. We will start anew and with heads held high work toward new and higher goals. We will go into the future seeking ever the fulfillment of our dreams. So, Polytechnic, we leave thee, our grand and glorious Alma Mater, to go forth with clear heads, true hearts, and strong arms, to make our dreams come true. Polytechnic, for everything we thank you.

Mac- Donald, assistant associate editor, Poly High chairman, The Polytechnic Student The Polytechnic Student staff, meeting as a class, under the direction of Miss Davis, compiled and published The Polytechnic Student 1939. The process of publishing an Annual involves many steps. At the beginning of the year, the staff is organized, the editor chosen, and ideas and plans for a theme are discussed. As the theme is one of the main points of an Annual, much time is given to the selection of this basic pattern. Then the dummy is made. The dummy is the plan of the whole book, drawn to scale on loose- leaf pages and kept bound together. The dummy is by far the most important single factor in putting out the Annual. The staff plans its work, the pho- tographer takes his pictures, and the printer sets the type and lays out the pages in accordance with its specifications. When the dummy has been drawn as far as possible - changes may have to be made up to the last day of production- schedules for pictures are planned. Taking organization pictures in a school as large as Polytechnic and with as many clubs is the biggest job. Every person in every picture is identified. After the pictures are taken and marked for size, they are sent to the engraver, who makes the cuts. Meanwhile the write-ups for the book are being prepared and sent to the printer. After they are set in type, they are proof read by the staff. The art staff has charge of the division pages and end sheets. Members of the art staff draw the design for the cover, draw all the division and end- sheet pictures, and choose the colors. After the pic- tures are drawn, line cuts are made by the en- graver for the key plates, and the students who draw the designs cut linoleum blocks for the colors.

The cover design was made by Al Quijano, and Wesley Gardner drew the pictures for the small 'cuts opposite the main division drawings. This work was done under the supervision of Mrs. Sargent, art staff adviser. Sixteen Annual pages are printed on one large sheet of paper, known as a signature. The sheet is folded, the inserts are pasted in, the signatures are assembled in sequence, and the book is sewed. The covers are then put on, and the book is ready for delivery. This is an outline of the work involved in produc- ing an Annual. There are, of course, many more details than have been mentioned here. It is through the cooperation of all the persons concerned, and Art Staff Row l: Virginia Bryan, Earl Clawson, Wesley Gardner, Mrs. Row 2: Lamberta Willstaedt, Richard Vartian, Al Romo and Sargent, adviser, Don Alexander, Creighton Rinder, Shirley Al Quiiano, co-editors, Mario Meneces, Iean Fleischman. Wilkinson. Artists All with the most conscientious planning, that the An- nual, or any publication, is made possible. Poly- technic is proud of the fact that its 1938 Annual was awarded first-class honors by the Columbia and the National Scholastic Press Associations. During the thirty-seven years since its beginning, under the successive sponsorship of Miss Kate Smith, Miss Magee, Miss Metkiff, and Miss Davis, the Annual has always kept as its goal the wish to make each volume a complete record of a year of Poly life. When this 1939 Annual is at last delivered to the student body, the staff hopes that there will fol- low gala days of looking at the pictures, reading the write-ups, and asking friends, Will you sign my Annual? The Poly High The Polytechnic Student staff also edits The Poly High. During the winter term, the 1938 Poly High was published, an eighty-eight page booklet of stories, essays, and poems selected from the best work submitted in the English classes during the year. It came out in Ianuary and was enjoyed by all who read it. This booklet won first class honors from the National Scholastic Press Association. It was submitted to the association for the first time this year. An added feature was the use of a layout that differed from any tried before in making The Poly High. The art cuts added materially to the booklet. From drawings done by students, the linoleum cuts were made by the illustration classes under the direction of Mrs. Sargent, head of the art department and art adviser of the Annual and The Poly High. The procedure for choosing material for this magazine is as follows: Each English teacher re- ceives an envelope in which she places the best compositions from her classes. When these com- positions are collected, the hundreds of interesting manuscripts are read by all members of the staff, who vote for the ones that they think will best represent the literary efforts of students of Poly- technic. These selected pieces are set in type, proof read by the staff, and arranged, with art cuts, on the pages. The book is then printed and bound in the school print shop and distributed through the English classes to the students. This year approxi- mately eight hundred copies were sold. The cover this year was a dark blue design, simply streamlined, on a lighter blue background. The design was drawn by Bill Carpenter and added much to the attractiveness of the booklet, which spread throughout the school an appreciation of the creative abilities of Poly students. 89 , . sv- H..

The Poly Optimist F 2 Q 78j9 IFJ ff l The Optimist is Medalist again! For the third 'ft time the Poly newspaper has won the coveted 28 59515 award. There is no doubt in the minds of Polytech- nic students that their paper is indeed a publication to be proud of. Last year The Optimist received the Pacemaker awardp this year, the All-American award from National Scholastic Press Association. This term it won the Trojan award, originated this year, for the highest standard of excellence for a period of three years. It also won third place in the University of Southern California contest for the greatest improvement over the previous year. In the W'39 term, a new step in its improvement was taken when column rules were eliminated and flush sans serif headlines were adopted. A striking feature of The Optimist is a late-news column on the front page, called Optimist Flashes, presenting brief announcements of current events at Poly. All phases of Poly life are presented through The Optimist. The front page is devoted to stories of current activities, those which have recently taken place, and those that are to take place in the near future. The second page, known as the feature page, carries the editorials, humorous stories, poems, Chris Cwritten by Mr. Xl, linoleum cuts, and sometimes biographies of Poly students. The third page has the shorter stories of less significance, and the fourth page is devoted to sports. Once a month, an alumni edition of six pages publishes news of Poly alumni as well as of Poly today. Also included each week is a column of editorials on various sub- 90 WW Phoebe, john, and Iohn jects of interest to the school, and a column, Poly by the Week, which is devoted to contributions of poetry and prose, usually humorous, from members of the staff, other students, and occasionally from teachers. Stories for The Optimist are written by the members of the staff and journalism students, under the sponsorship of Miss I-lov. Optimist reporters are students taking journalism 25 staff members are from journalism 3 and 4 classes. Linoleum cuts are made by art students under the direction of Mr. Petterson. The second page features at least one linoleum cut each week.

Pat, Sophie, and Tom pages. The Optimist is printed in the Polytechnic print shop, under the direction of Mr. Pearson. Over the loud speaker system, the editor and members of the staff present programs of news and recordings at noon on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The sponsoring of the broadcasts by The Optimist was an innovation this term. Editors for the W'39 term were Iohn Astengo and Phoebe Demorest: for the S'39 term, Sophie Sakel- laris and Pat Iohnston. Started this term, the Optimist advertising staff has already proved itself a success. The main pur- pose of this staff is to give students in the sales- manship and advertising classes opportunities to make business contacts and to gain experience in soliciting advertisements. The experiences of the students are highly educational. Reports help other students to improve methods of approaching busi- ness and professional men to present sales talks. The staff is well organized, each member assuming cer- tain responsibilities. The manager supervises the ac- tivities of the other students, makes business calls, and each week makes lists of advertisements for the journalism staff, the print shop, and a record file. The assistant manager compiles the copy for the advertisements for the print shop. The person in charge of layouts plans each advertisement. The accountant keeps the records and makes out the monthly statements, Working with the Board of Finance. The sales manager works with the stu- dents and is responsible for depositing all money collected with the Board of Finance. The mailing clerks send a copy of the paper to each advertiser every Week. They also communicate with alumni. Through the efforts of the Optimist advertising staff and advertising classes under the direction of Miss Mawe and the salesmanship l classes taught by Mrs. Griffin, many advertisements have been obtained this term, proving the value of this new class project. Announcement was received April 26 from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association that The Optimist had Won All-Columbian honors for fea- tures, creative writing, and editorials, the highest award given in these fields in the national contest. The creative writing award was won twice before. 91 iimq 4 Each club augments in its own way The Art of Living-at Poly Today: Friendship, service, study, fun, Self-improvement, something done - Each in Iife plays such cz part That there is joy in every heart, - And friendship reigns.

It is not a clique, for individ- ual friendship plays no part in the selection of new Knights. Membership in the Knights is earned through merit and merit alone: it is an organization of fellows from all lines of school life chosen by the faculty, honorary Knights, and active Knights in recognition of their ability to help Poly. Its emblem. a golden knight on a blue background, is familiar to all Polyites, but the many services it renders are not so evident because its chief aims are to aid Poly in a quiet, inconspicuous manner and to live up to its motto, Help the Other Fellow. Mr. Stock- ton's sponsorship inspires loyalty and industry. t ef' l , . - W 39 Knights Row 1: Ray Clay, Bill Carpenter, Dick Vernon, Mr. Goodsell, as- sistant sponsor, Vernon Bennett, Mr. K. L.

As members in this society, they have awakened new ambitions and new goals which are lasting inspirations in their lives. The society has few activities, as the girls are so busy with the offices which they hold. However, at Christmas-time this year they distributed twenty- two baskets to needy families. A banquet for former Athenians, held on April 27. at Queyrel's, and a tea party given by the sponsor. Miss Humphrey, were most enjoyable. 94 W'39 Athenians Row 1: Rosemary Saunders, Audrey Poulos, Charlotte Honiq. Miss Humphrey, adviser, Thel- ma Vaughn, lean Phillips, Iulie Schoen.

I I Boys l unior Glee Club Members of the Boys' Iunior Glee meet daily during a regular class period to study two, three, and four part male chorus singing. During the term, they gain, under Mrs. Engberg's instruction, the ability to share the emotional and intellectual experiences of great composers. Their enthusiastic and painstaking rehearsals leave them always prepared and anxious to respond to numerous in- vitations to sing at school affairs. They have gen- erously donated their services to build up Poly's reputation. One of the most pleasing of all events was the delightful Christmas caroling given to en- hance a Christmas spirit full of good will through- out Polytechnic. Striving for perfection in production, the Boys' Iunior Glee ranks high among school clubs. Boys Senior Glee Club Music hath charms for all the Senior Glee boys and for all who are privileged to hear them sing. The boys are always busily interested in their study, their practice, their frequent delightful public appearances, and their parties. During the daily Class period Mrs. Engberg in- structs and directs the three and four part male chorus singing. The Boys' Senior Glee, one of Poly's two senior glee groups, creates a feeling of musical spirit in songs and deserves its recognition in the sight of all Polyites. Its influence on the aesthetic side of student life has always been evident, and it con- tinues to charm its audiences, to inspire its mem- bers, and to add materially to the Art of Living at Poly Today.

Although it was the most exciting experience, it was not more beautifully sung than was the program given at the Hollywood First Presbyterian Church on March 26. Under the supervision of Mrs. Engberg, A Cap- pella has striven to give students the opportunity to hear the most refined types of music. The choir is an unaccompanied four part mixed chorus.

They plan to have a dinner party annually at some restaurant in the city and to have two parties during the term. Organ pins in Poly's blue and gold colors are their proud possessions. As the club grows, they hope to advance in deserved renown. by the stu- music stores Robertson. Two recitals each semester are dents of the organ classes, are enjoyed under the Qt chorai Club Every branch of this harmonious art has its place in Poly. With the many organizations this choral group shares Well deserved honors. Here is an opportunity to acquaint students and audiences with cultural values of organized group singing. So great is the musical training for in- tensive concentration that the choral group can successfully create a spirit to fit the mode of music. Under the direction of Mrs. Engberg it has con- tributed its delightful music in various programs for Polytechnic students. Because of its serious endeavors and melodic accomplishments, Polyites especially respect the Choral Club. 97 'CUQV Band Row 1: Marjorie Vollintine, Cheryl Sion- seller, Marguerita Wood, Martin Levi soit-1 Elmer Young, Iohnnie Kimball, Lester Mun- son, Marian Banning.

The orchestra assists in plays and stage productions of all kinds. It played during the inter- missions of the class play, Going on Seventeen, and it always takes part in the Commencement 98 Program. Its playing before the students at Metro- politan High School and its part in the annual Spring Festival were also highly commendable.

X :mfsmvzze fws, ff-:us 1 f ' ft, s' ' tail Forum Honorary Society The Present Grading System proved to be a very interesting topic at a recent Forum Club meet- ing. During the term, debates, panels, and open forums were held. Many interesting topics have been discussed this term, among them: Should Polytechnic have a swimming pool? Should the United States form an alliance with Great Britain? Among the guest speakers were Mr. Couch, who spoke on The Use of Words, and a speaker from Manual Arts Forum Club, who led a discussion. The promotion of good sportsmanship and the development of poise are the club's chief aims. Because of the large number of active members, it has been necessary to limit membership to fifty and to require those students interested in becoming members to take part in some debate and be judged as to ability before becoming members. The Forum Clubs success has been made possible by the constant assistance of the adviser, Mrs. Klawitter. 99 A4 Row 1: Iean Erickson, Maxine Gardner, Iewel Lauritzen, Mary Shelley, Setsuko Matsunaga, vice-president, Rosemary Saun- ders, president, Miss Fye, adviser, Sophie Sakellaris, secre- tary, Irene Carroll, Ollie Roberts.

Elections took place as soon as the class and Hal Holker was was sufficiently organized, elected president. Then the cabinet began to go places. The first of the numerous problems faced was that of a class name. Suggestions such as Cavaliers, Troubadors, Achilleans, and Archers were made. The cabinet eliminated all but the few best, and the name Achilleans was elected by the class. Problems came in rapid succession. First, the class colors, then the sweater and emblem were chosen in the same manner as was the name. Through the work of this cabinet, the Achilleans were the first class to receive their pins during the B semester. After defeating the Aristocrat class on Field Day, 35-15, and winning the faculty scholarship trophy. the incoming Senior A class brought to an end a very successful B semester. 104 The W'4O class was prompt in organizing. As their motto, ln cooperation lies strength, implies, the members of the class always work in unison, with the excellent leadership of so fine and so large a cabinet. Cabinet meetings are held every Monday noon. There is always a large attendance, and many of the class activities are settled at this time. Interesting talks and occasionally motion pictures and programs acquainting the class with their classmates by presentation of class talent are scheduled for many of the home room periods. The B's participated in Senior Field Day, and in the float parade carried out the idea of their name, Manipians, in Indian fashion, for the Manual rally. The Senior Reception and the Senior Rendezvous following Field Day showed a large attendance of B's. Senior B girls entertained the Senior A girls at a tea party, with spring colors adorning the tables. The weekly dancing class helped out socially. The Senior B sweaters, teal blue and white, were seen in large numbers before the end of ten weeks. t Usher Force Row l: Herbert Snow, Raymond Scott.

'T' Usher Force What might our assemblies be like if it were not for our Usher Force? The ushers have charge of conduct, seating, and ushering in the auditorium: they collect tickets at all football games, basket- ball games, track meets, and other sporting events. They also supervise order at pay aud calls, Com- mencement, and Class Night. A new system of assigned entrances, worked out by the Usher Force and sponsors, eliminated much confusion. The Usher Force aims to help preserve order in assemblies and to help the school at any time it is called to be of service. The motto, Suavitu in Modo. Factitu in Re, means Gentle in Manner but Reso- lute in Deed. In recognition of the importance and influence of his office, the house manager is given a place on the A.S.B.O. cabinet, and the Usher Force is classed among the primary organizations. Mr. Leahy is sponsor. f 1 wif f'jff 'l Chemistry Society Row 1: Toshiko Komatsu, Pearl Marlowe, Ioseph Chun, Richard Nelson, S'39 pres., Mr. Moore, adviser, Masaharu Ta- ' kata, S'39 vice-president, 4 Eleanor Pribyl, Barbara Hall, Ted Livingston.

Those dimes that are spent for broken test-tubes are in the inter- est of science, and the one aim of the Chemistry Society is to further interest in science. Meetings are held on Thursdays in room 142, and any visitor would be impressed by the members' concentration on a brain-twisting problem. The society has many very interesting activities during the semester. Informal talks are given and experiments are performed by the students: motion pictures are sometimes shown. At one memorable meeting in March, Mr. Moore treated the members to a dose of laughing gas-a whole roomful of it. Attendance at meetings is almost always one hundred per cent, for these future scientists evidence a real thirst for knowledge. With Mr. Moore's guidance, the club carries on, with the success and enjoyment which come from doing something really worthwhile. 105 ' f fi S Amicitian Society Organized in the hope of furthering self-improve- ment and of being of greater service to Poly was the Amicitian Society. The society is made up of girls who are invited to join. Their interesting parties, Saint Patrick's Day alumnae party, and mid-winter tea have become delightful yearly events. Informal parties at the various members' homes are also enjoyed, and the open house held this term was a big success. Mrs. Sanford has been the club sponsor since it was founded three years ago. There are twenty-four girls in the club this term - there is a limit of twenty-five - and each values highly here member- ship in the society. , -..,--4-:J-7. X, 1. ' .i ee eg .

Ephesian Club The Ephesian Club was organized in 1935 with Miss Kent as sponsor. With The Spirit's the Thing as their motto, the members strive for self-better- ment. Open house is held in the cafeteria and sometimes at the members' homes, to which girls from other clubs are invited.

The eighteen members take part in the Girls' League Variety Show, contribute to the Athenian baskets at Christ- mas-time, and hold many successful parties. The annual Valentine dance and the formal initiation are their big events of the year. They entertain other girls' clubs, inviting them to open house in the fall and in the spring. The Kaleta float has won the sweepstakes prize both years at the track rally held before the Manual meet. secretary. Olympian Club Here we have challengers! The Olympians chal- lenge and vie with other clubs in outdoor games: they give their assistance in Variety Shows: they evi- dence their social graces by planning parties for various clubs so the girls can become acquainted. Their parties and picnics are most enjoyable: the girls have fun galore. This society cherishes high ideals and outstanding aims: to develop worth- while traits of character among all the members, to promote friendship among the girls, and to be of service to the school. With Miss Adams, their sponsor, and the twenty members, they carry on with great success, building a reputation for them- selves as Poly helpers. i Olympians Row l: Nancy Wilbanks, Bettie Busch- ing, Virginia Dasso, S'39 president, Miss Adams, adviser, Ruth Trevor- row, S'39 vice-president, Aurora De Palma, S'39 secretary, Freida Adel- IHGH.

Their social activities are many and varied, in- cluding wienie bakes, picnics, and house parties. 28th Street Hi Y The 28th Street Hi Y, another service organization of great value to Poly, meets every Wednesday night at the 28th Street Y.M.C.A., where, after the business session, the members play basketball and swim. Their socials consist of dances and parties at mem- bers' homes, and every May the club gives a Mothers' Day program. The east boundary of Poly, by Barnard Park, is patrolled by the 28th Street Hi Y, and they are quick to respond to any request made by the school. The aims of the 28th Street Hi Y are truly praiseworthy: they are to render service to Poly and to build Chris- tian character: and the members live up to their principles.

They strive for perfection, and as members of this self-improvement club they represent the high standards of Christian character so necessary in life. Weekly meetings are held on Wednesdays after school. The girls sing songs, and they discuss ways for self-improvement and plans for the various ac- tivities which the club enjoys. They work on many things at the meetings. At Christmas-time the girls stuffed animals for sick children: they also made scrap-books to send to Mexico. Miss Iones and the cabinet deserve heartie't congratulations for the fine work shown in t many Tri Y activities.

For diver- sion the club attends theater parties and practices more monologues and plays. The Mask and Sandal's aims are easily attained through its members' enjoyment and eagerness in working toward their fulfillment. Its aims are to teach each member poise, enunciation, pronuncia- tion, through experience in participation in plays , and skits presented for various school organizations. One of the most charming presentations was Mani- kin and lVlinikin on the Self-Government Talent Show. The club is always ready with something really good in answer to any request, and the entire school depends on the Mask and Sandal for much of its entertainment, for, true to its motto, the club evidences the spirit of On with the Show!

The Technical Staff is composed of the Stage Crew, the Sound Crew, and the Projection Crew, all under the leader- ship of the stage manager, a member of the staff who has worked his way up from the bottom to this responsible position. The Stage Crew consists of six boys, all trained to handle stage equipment, props, curtains, lights, and sets necessary to put on aud calls in such fine order. The noon broadcasting sys- tem in the cafeteria yard is under the supervision of the Sound Crew, which is also in charge of the sound equipment for all assemblies. To increase its knowledge of stagecraft the staff visits other schools to study their stages and methods of work. The school visited usually makes a return call. Visited this year was Washington High School. The duties -of the Projection Crew vary in one day from the showing of a picture on The Travels of the Ameri- can Indians for the social studies classes to the showing of The Travels of the Protozoa for the science department. Mr. Downs is sponsor and director. 'pw-num fmfvns- Radio Club HWXM32 calling CQ-CQ-CQ. Thus the chant of the radio amateur fan is carried on far into the night. The Radio Club at Poly is under the sponsor- ship of Mr. Downs, who spends a great deal of time in helping the club members overcome any radio difficulties they may encounter. The activities of the club are planned mainly for giving a general radio knowledge and for practice in code. The members also go on trips to radio stations on land and sea and other places of radio interest. The aim is to create an interest in amateur radio communication. A few years ago Poly had one of the few school- owned radio stations in the United States, with the call letters WGYAP, but it was discontinued. The ambition of all the members is to become proficient in the use of the radio code. They secure practice in radio work by fixing their own radios and those of their friends. Membership in the club is highly prized by those who have been able to fulfill the requirements. Visitors are cordially invited to their interesting and instructive meetings, held Thursdays at noon. . , I ww, ...W - , , ,, W. so Q .

QU!-Y g'0l,3 V01 l Boys' Gym Club The Gym Club, as its name implies, is an athletic group made up of students of an advanced class in bar, ring, tumbling, and other forms of gym- nasium work. Many of its members are-and the others hope to be-on the Polytechnic gym team, which represents the school in city competition. However, this club is not entirely athletic, for it acts as a service club by aiding to keep the campus clean. Its social events include the annual Gym Club show, featuring exhibitions by the more tal- ented members, and a yearly outing on which food, fun, and frolic reign to make the day a happy oc- casion for the Gym Club and its guests. Sponsor of the club is the newest addition to the Poly faculty, Coach Albro Lundy. Mr. Lundy attended the University of Nebraska, where he won letters in wrestling and baseball. He is a graduate of U.S.C. An all-around athlete, he be- came well known in the Southland for his tutelage of 215,000 boys in the pentathlon. For the past six years he has served as director of swimming in the Los Angeles City Recreation Department. Camera Club Row l: A. I.

Camera Club Hold it, please! Click! Thank you! The mem- bers of the Camera Club are kept busy recording the highlights of Poly life in pictures. This club is composed of students in the photography depart- ment and other students who know something about the art of photography. There are no requirements for membership except an interest in photography and the camera. The activities of the Camera Club are taking trips to various places where are found good camera subjects, such as the zoo and Olvera Street. Combining business and pleasure, the club and its guests spent three very enjoyable days at the seashore, at Mount Wilson observatory, and re- turned banged and bruised but happy from a day of fun in the snow at Big Pines. All three events were duly recorded by the cameras of the members. Lectures, debates, and discussions on photog- raphy and motion pictures, with competition in the various photography exhibits conclude the varied list of activities. Mr. Hansen, the Camera Club spon- sor, is always ready and willing to improve the photographic knowledge of the members. lll French Club Le Cercle Francais de Ieanne d'Arc! La seance est ouverte, s'il vous plait. Another French Club meeting is in order. The forty-four active members meet twice each month, usually after school, to discuss their business affairs, which are en fran- cais, and sometimes just to have good times. Groups give very amusing plays, while at other times the members turn their attention to the more serious side of life. Parties and games come under their social life, as well as reciting French poems and having guest speakers. Highlights of the year's meetings included: Mrs. Heath's delightful account of amusing experiences during her travels through France: a dinner meeting at the Rene et lean Restaurant, followed by a visit to an exhibit at the Ambassador Hotel. The club enjoyed also beautiful French paintings and tapes- tries at the University of Southern California. At one of the meetings, Pauvre Sylvie, a short play, was amusingly presented. Under the sponsorship of Miss Hindson, the aims of the club are to promote more knowledge of the language and greater interest in France and the French people.

All Spanish students! This is a little hand-out of inside information on the Latin-Ameri- can Club. Meetings are held weekly on Mondays, at noon. The club has a lot of fun at its banquets and parties: and Spanish food and entertainment create the real Spanish atmosphere. The Latin-American Club also assists in many programs given by the World Friendship Club, P.-T.A., and the language department. Everyone enjoyed the program which they gave on December l6 at the World Friendship Club meeting in the auditorium. A gay and colorful fiesta was held October 5, and members helped to make it one of the most enjoyable events for the club. On Pan-American Day an entertaining program was presented for club members, families, and friends. On this day, the charming custom of giving carnations to the teachers symbolizes good will among the Americas. Their motto is Unity and Culture : and with Miss l-lindson's help, they are working for and adding to the success which is already theirs. Although the main aim of the club is to bring together students of Latin-American parentage and make them a part of Poly life, all Spanish students are invited to join.

The Chinese Club carries on various activities, including parties and programs. An interesting play, The House of Yang, dealing with modern Chinese life, was presented Ianuary 16 at the World Friendship Club meeting. The characters were por- trayed by Phillip Kwan, Betty Woo, Daisy Quan, and Albert Pon. The girls participated in the Variety Show, giving Girl Bride.

For the Iapanese Club members' great help in promoting friendships among all the Oriental students and for their ability to develop that fine spirit of loyalty and helpfulness that so charcterizes our school, they deserve every- one's respect and good will. The one hundred mem- bers have served the school in a gracious manner in charitable work with the aid of Miss Swain, their sponsor. They have two meetings a month and two parties a term, which encourage them in their work. The club has continued the work on the Willis A. Dunn Memorial Garden. At a P.-T.A. meeting the Iapanese Club furnished speakers, and charming girls in Iapanese costumes served tea. The girls danced for the World Friendship Club May l, and on May 15 they provided an interesting program, when Mr. Sugahara was the guest speaker, by giving a style show, displaying Iapanese costumes for all seasons and occasions.

Applicants must be enrolled in the architectural department and have sketches approved by the members. Dues are a sketch a week as assigned by the sponsor. Competition in sketching with the Architectural Society, a trip every two months, and participation in the Ivory Soap Carving Contest are several of the interesting activities undertaken by the members.

In the interest of science the club jour- neys to the Mount Wilson Observatory and to several other places of interest to students of civil engineering. In the interest of the social life, the boys enjoy trips to Big Bear, a semi-annual banquet, weekly meetings, and the attendance of the meet- ings of the Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds Club, an organization of graduates who have belonged to the Civil Engineering Society. This year, for the first time, small plumb bobs were turned out for the members by the machine shop, signifying member- ship in the society when C.E.S. is inscribed on them and in the graduate society when D.M.S. is so inscribed.

The leaders are selected in the middle of the term so that they may continue their work through the beginning of the semester. For the first time, this semester fifteen-week appointments were made. Bernice Goa, president first ten weeks, became student adviser: Louise Nolte, vice-president, became president: and Louis Hurst, chairman of guidance period, became vice-president. The Red Cross Council believes in services for others, in health of mind and body to fit them for better service, and in promotion of world-wide friendship. Mrs. Hodges is the sponsor. 1S,.,, Safety Council Safety concerns all of us: and it is the work of the Safety Council to make Polytechnic clubs realize the importance of safety. Several suggestions which were made concerning fire drills and games on the gym fields helped in solving some of Poly's safety problems. Representatives from all clubs are sent to the meetings, held on Thursdays, at noon. Talks on various subjects significant of safety are scheduled for some of the meetings: sometimes motion pictures are shown. 116 This semester an assembly was presented by the Safety Council. With the help of the Girls' Glee Club, which sang several numbers, and the Mask and Sandal, an entertaining one-act play was given. A most enjoyable party was given for all members at the end of the term. lt has been a successful year. With their com- petent adviser, Mr. Keller, they are working toward the one aim, to promote safety for all Polytechnic students. 5 7 ir 'N P F74 sw Row 1: Frank Bertone, Kay Koizumi, Richard Hofmann, Rosalie Kil- eorre, Elvia lane, Randolph Williams, George Tirado, William Corrick, Stanley Morby, Albert Silver, Dolores Bakeer, Gilbert Samuelian, Floyd Welch, Willmer Drexl, Allen Sill, Norvin Alcorn, Marion Mills, Adeline Garcia, Roberta Sill.

Commerce Club Once weekly the Commerce Club takes a trip to some commercial plant. Graduates of the club are in all fields of commerce and industry, which helps the group gain admission to many places that might be inaccessible without membership in the Polytechnic Commerce Club. Among the places toured this year was the Bank of America, where the members saw the deposit vaults, safes, com- mercial department, and two S5000 bills: later the members visited the Coca-Cola Bottling Works, which is built in the shape of a steamship, and where the members received all the free Coca-Cola they could drink. Many of the employes of the factory are Poly graduates. From these tours much enjoyment and interesting knowledge is acquired. Two parties are given during the term at Clifton's Cafeteria. Elections take place at the first one, which is near the beginning of each term, and at the second and last party of the term certificates of office are presented to the officers. This year the Commerce Club was sponsored by Mr. Hilt. Although Daddy Locke, for twenty-eight years the beloved sponsor, has retired, he attended all tours. Students who are taking' commercial subjects automatically become members of the club. There are two hundred members, and students who go on the tours receive credit points in their classes. World Friendship Club World Friendship leads to World Peace! The work that the World Friendship Club is doing to create good will among different nationalities is highly worthwhile. This has been a successful year for the club, as it is now the largest club in the city, boasting three hundred fifty members. The World Friendship Club sponsors many inter- esting meetings, parties, and programs. An Armis- tice Dav program, dedicated to Poly boys who died in the World War, was effectively presented in the auditorium. A Christmas aud call, sponsored by the 118 World Friendship Club and presented by the language department, centered interest upon the good will and fun of Christmas-time in many lands. The song and dance festival and a Spanish dinner at Olvera Street were some of the other highlights of the year. Meetings are held in room 159, the first and third Mondays of each month: panels, motion pictures, and talks are given. Mrs. Sussman and Mr. Porter, sponsors, and the cabinet, for their efforts and success, are deserving of sincere Commendation. xf- Q , 1 ' - ' 2 , Q , , - -W f ,J World Friendship Club ,ff Row l: Edward Knight, Concha Corona, S'39 treasurer, Ritchie Water- house, Jim Chadwick, Althea Warren, Annie Nakashima, Marietta Etchemendy, Florence Elvebak, Helen Gurlev W'39 president, Mrs. Suss- man, adviser, George Chicos, S'39 president, Josephine Yoshioka, W'39 secretary and S'39 vice-president, Eddie Deason, Mary Ikerman, Goldena Woods, S'39 secretary, Angelo Villa, Florence Stanley, Hannah Tani, Eugene Soltvs, Frank Amatuzio. 1 Row 2: Marvin Scheinbaum, Wayne Kurtz, Bill Wood, Floyd Welch, Richard Scamman, Ophelia Tato, Betty Kent, Lucille Menea, Viola Lara, Carolyn Coates, Barbara Binkele, Betty Groh, Marie Amino, Sakaye Ishino, Hazel Gong, Helen Carlos, Peggy Rhodes, David Yuwiler, Rich- ard Kusumoto.

During the past year there have been two addi-. Mr. Lundy Mr. Mahoney tions to the staff, Mr. Phil Lieb, who coaches foot- ball, and Mr. Albro Lundy, gym team mentor.

A long pass from Czar to Bennett, who raced 30 yards to the goal, started the powerful Fremont attack. In the last period, after tight second and third quarters, Bleeker scored from the 1-yard line and later intercepted a Poly pass and rambled 45 yards to a touchdown. Bleeker was easily the outstanding man on the field. but a bang-up game was also played by George Rogers and Kurk Kazarian on the Parrot line. October 28 Manual, 285 Poly, 0 Wilson Field Poly gridsters journeyed to their traditional rivals, Manual Arts, to take a 28-0 shellacking from a team superior in every phase of the game. Led by Don Willer, the Artisans overrode the Poly team with a spectacular display of running, passing, and block- ing. On the third play of the game, Schmidt inter- cepted a Poly pass on the 40-yard line. Reaching the 1-yard line, Manual fumbled to Poly. Kent kicked for Poly to McCardle, who evaded clutching hands and streaked down the sideline to a score. A long run by Clemrnons and three passes ac- counted for the other scores. Brilliant line defense by Louis Bardsley, Rupert Adler, and George Rogers did much to prevent a larger score by the Toilers. Nov. 3 Huntington Park, 0: Poly, 0 Reeder Field In a dull game, marred by many fumbles and errors by both teams, the Huntington Park Spartans and the Poly bovs shoved and bounced each other around the field in a scoreless tie.

The longest run of the day, except the runback of an intercepted pass by Hus- ton of Poly, was a 12-yard gain by Greenland, Spartan fullback. Al Sparlis and Norman Huston of the locals were outstanding on defense. Nov. 10 Iefferson, 13: Poly, 0 Dunn Field The combination of Black, Tafoya, and McCoy proved too much for the Poly squad, which went down to a 13-0 loss. The line plunging of Tafoya, the passing of Black, and the end-around by McCoy blended into a bewildering array of power. The first half was very close, but in the third quarter an extended drive by Tafoya and Salerno and a beautiful run by McCoy went into pay dirt. Another score was made on a Poly kick blocked by Harri- son, who picked up the ball and, dazed, began to run toward the Iefferson goal, then discovered his mistake, reversed his field, and ran past the aston- ished Poly team to a touchdown.

Definitely outplaying Fremont, the Parrots did not allow the Pathfinders once to find a path out of their own territory. Playing excellent defensive and offensive football, Bob Meeks, tackle, was one of the outstanding play- ers on the field. Quarterback Ed Carey's splen- did blocking and Warren Thompson's ball car- rying were stellar features in the Poly backfield Oct. 27 Manual, 13, Poly, 9 Dunn Field Playing good football but getting many bad breaks in a hectic last half, Poly B's saw cle- feat form out of almost certain victory in the skirmish with the Manual Arts Toilers. Scoring in the first quarter, the Parrots seemed well on the way, and, when a safety was scored on Manual, victory seemed certain. The second half, however, showed tables turned when a pass was completed which resulted in a Manual touchdown, and again when the Toilers re- covered a Poly fumble and scored five minutes later. Adams and Marquez, ends, and Bill Obama, right half, did well in pass receiving.

Getting their touchdown in the first few minutes of play, the Polymites showed power but were unable to score again. Two sub left halfs, Tom Tanino and lack Munemura, who alternated through the game, proved exceptionally capable at packing and heaving the ball. Turning in good performances on the line were Ioe Chun, center, and Will Otsuji and Min Yano at tackle and guard, respectively. Nov. 17 Poly, 13: Washington, 0 Dunn Field Contributing their best performance of the year against an unbeaten Washington team, the Parrots ran up their largest score of the season, 13 to O. The first touchdown was the result of a beautiful pass from Thompson to Adams, who received it in the end zone. Again in the second quarter, when Poly recovered a Washington fumble, they drove to the goal line. Quarterback Ed Carey exhibited some beautiful blocking, while Warren Thompson did top-notch running. The whole line should also receive credit for exceptional playing. 149 K3 9 Row 1: ttLettermenJ 1'iRobert Pompa, flilmer Osborn, fFritz Banks, Babineau, Bruce Clark, Bill Carpenter, tflfrank Laird, manager.

The season, however, had several bright spots, the most brilliant being a hard-fought victory over Poly's old and most bitter rivals, Manual Arts. Osborn, Gonzales, and Anderson proved up to the task and played a bang-up offensive and defensive game. This 21-19 win was the first in a major sport made by a Poly squad over an Artisan team in six years. Another shining spot was a 26-l7 trouncing administered to L. A. High in the first game of the season. Elmer Osborn and Ozzie Gonzales again proved stars of the occasion. This year a round-robin schedule was followed, each team meeting every other team with one game on the home court. Poly was successful during the start of the series, Winning the season's total of four games in the first half. The second half was dis- astrous, however, as Poly couldn't win a single game, finishing in fourth place. A big blow to the team this year was the loss of Le Grande Farley, who was the star of early practice games and was expected to add much to the team, but he was declared ineligible at the start of the season. With Charles Anderson, guard, the only returning Poly at Manual AITS letterman, the brunt of the Parrot attack was borne by the two forwards, Elmer Osborn and Ozzie Gon- zales, up from the lightweights.

Poly's end of the meet was held up by Fred Lull, who garnered a second on the side horse, and by Coates and Tom, who won third and fourth. Third places were won in the rings by Casparian and on the long horse by little Frank Nasu. ' y March 9 Fremont, BQWJ Poly, 50Vz At Fremont Receiving their second setback, the Poly gym- nasts were humbled by the Fremont musclemen, 69V2-50Vz in the winners' gym. Highlight of the meet was the brilliant performance of Bill Sheirs, Fre- mont ace who Won the free exercise, long horse, and tumbling. The rope climb was Won by Kiehl of Fremont in 7:5 seconds. Poly's only firsts were won by Casper Casparian and Fred Lull in the rings and on the side horse. Poly surprised in the parallels by winning three places. An individual upset was provided by George Parma, who garnered a sec- ond. Tumbling again was Poly's weakest event, a fourth being taken by Lopez. March 23 Washington, 88: Poly, 32 At Poly Poly's gym team succumbed to a well balanced group of Washington gymnasts, 88-32, on March 23 on Poly's floor. Washington's team was well rounded out, quashing the Poly squad in all but one event. The rope climb was won by Kerschner of the visitors in 6.9 seconds, a fourth being all Rakoobian of Poly could take. In the side horse, competition was very keen, Anselmo of Washington barely nosing out Poly's Fred Lull. Poly's only victory was won by Frank Nasu in the long horse. Richardson of Poly took a third. A fourth in the tumbling and a fifth in the free exercise were the results in Poly's weakest events. March 30 Poly, 79: Huntington Park, 41 At H.P. Ringing down the curtain on the 1939 season, the Poly musclemen emerged with their only victory in an easy decision over a Weak Park squad. The Spartans took only two firsts and never really threatened. Surprise of the meet was a victory by Charles Coates in the side horse: the favorite Lull could take only a fifth. Poly almost swept the long horse, taking all but a second. The rings were won by Casparian of Poly, and Shirahama took the parallels. Simmons, Muller, and Altmann took l-2-3 in the free exercise. Haverly garnered a first in the horizontals. Poly was again weak in the tumbling event, making only one point on the mats. fill?

The game was tight till the fifth inning, when, with the bases loaded, Pecel slugged out a homer over the left fielder's head to put the game away for Poly. Pecel also contributed to the thrills of the day by a most spectacular catch, which brought the astounded fans to their feet. Steady, efficient work was displayed by Carey, Ericson, and the infielders. March 3 Poly, 2: Dorsey, 6 At Dorsey Receiving stiff opposition from the Dorsey nine, the Poly softballers suffered their first league set- back in two years, 6-2, at Dorsey. Dale Gustafson, veteran Dorsey twirler who was pounded out of the box last year, got back at the Mechanics by pitching a no-hit game. Two runs were scored by Poly in the first inning on walks and errors, but the Mechanics succumbed to the barrage of eight hits and six runs by the slugging Dons. March 10 Poly, 25 Washington, 3 At Poly Failing to make a run in the final inning after the bases had been loaded, with only one out and the score 3-2 against them, the Mechanic softballers lost to the Washington 'jinx' which has seemed to follow Poly versus Washington teams. The Generals scored twice in the first inning to set the pace throughout the game. In the second, Poly evened up on a double by Robledo, a single by Wright, and two Washington errors. 158 Row 3: Ierome Canzoneri, Earl Corliss, Bill Pritchett, Harold Pritchett, S Mersenhelder, Frank Cantin, Eugene Rynkofs.

March l7 Poly, 9, Dorsey, 3 At Poly Hammering out nine runs, the thundering Me- chanic team completely reversed the 6-2 setback given to them by the Dons two weeks before. This 9-3 victory put Poly back into the city pennant race. Taking advantage of the absence of the Dorsey star twirler, 'Fireball' Gustafson, the Poly boys pounded two pitchers for six hits and ten walks. Star of the day was 'Pancho' Martinez, who gath- ered a homer and two singles to get half of Poly's hits. Lanky Ed Ericson pitched good ball, allowing eight well scattered hits and banging out a double to help the cause. March 24 Poly, 12: Venice, 2 At Venice Landing on the hapless Gondoliers with a thud, the Poly squad handed out a 12-2 drubbing to the Venice team to brighten Poly's pennant chances. The Mechanics pounded out eight hits and, aided by five Venice errors, scored at least one run in every inning but the first, while they held the Oars- men to a four-hit, two-run game. Ericson struck out nine and walked only two. Elmer Osborn and Bob Salo led the Poly batters. March 31 Poly, 5: Washington, 0 At Wash. Pennant winners for the third straight year! After trailing the pack in third place all season, Coach Mahoney's horsehiders overcame the league-lead- ing Washington Surveyors, 5-0, in the season's final game at Washington. Ericson chalked up his best game of the season, allowing only five Generals to reach base on four hits and a walk. He fanned five batters. Ericson was assisted by a fast infield. led by the brilliant playing of loe Robledo. r -51-11 , , nr A , -- A 1 g A , t , .,,, V Z 1 X N l , 1 s , N f ff ,,,,fAQ,yM,A -I i r ' ,, .- 5 t 5 ' i 1 ' 7 52720 W' , ' , k - . 1 K W V 1 -.uw 1' if . ff ' Z f 1 5' v. w 9 'W 1 1 ' A V 4 v , : F it KN Vg' ' X ,V ., ,af , y ,W v, , A Q - rw, -- , - '1 ,C X-CY, -'-f , ty-N , '- , . ,,,- I V' f' 3' Vijyy , -,,, 1,f-, ,- V, ,, , V r I , , V X .r,V ,,, VA Vx 2' l , , , ,V A ,mu H , mf V f . ,f,-V,,1 I Q' V 3 f ' ' ' .gm ' .,..,,,,, , , V .5--5, gs - JL Vg! v V1 3 -Ti., I l g fl ff w ., 'aw if - JV Nz it . jf , 4 ali' I X A5 WW .yt , V'Vy V ,VV - ' VV, , 1.1 -gg, , .1 ., fa . -.Q 1 1,-l,d,45f , qv . : ' li,-:J 1 ,V , rllgt ' yi-V yrgx, ' , ,,,, 'amy w,,,m,r,f, ,.,,,., , K K , ,- jg , 2 I My at V ,Q V L I I 2, ' , . ,,. .. g r. 1 wfwwf g 1 m -uv-4 -f - , fV -. :, 'new f,.ff,w',r -V f- . v 'fN'NW4 Mf fVV VV Vf f' ' v , ,, , ' Y , .

Autrey again came out ahead in the 4405 Chacon and Spradling again took first and second in the mile: Oberman won the high sticks in l5.7: and Poly took the relay. Weakness in the field events and hurdles lost the meet for Poly. With the Spartans' Ken Wren leading in the broad jump with a great leap of 22 feet 5V2 inches, Hun- tington Park swept the event. Aird of H.P. took the shot with a heave of 50 feet 2M inches, coming out ahead of Poly's Frank Cantin, who nosed out Carr of the Spartans. Huntington Park swept the pole vault with a three-way tie by De Vaughn, Winter, and Graham at 12 feet: H.P. also swept the low hurdles. In the first league meet at Fremont, Poly was given a trouncing by a well balanced Pathfinder squad. Dodo Rountree took both the sprints, but Fremont took second and third in both events. Sammy Samonsett won from Autrey in the 440 in 50.7. In the 880, Ocello and Laird of Poly won from Brandson of Fremont in 2:08. Pathfinder Wycoff barely nosed out a win over Mechanics Chacon and Spradling in 4:54.5. Winning only eight points in six events, Poly proved weak in the hurdles and field events. Oberman and Wall took second and third in the high hurdles and Dugan a second in the shot, Ward and Sill of Poly tied for third in the high jump.

Highlight of the dual meet with Manual Arts on Dunn Field was a shot put of 53 feet lk inches by' Thomas of the Toilers to set a new school record. He was closely followed by good heaves of over 50 feet by both Aitken and Culler of Manual Arts. Rountree took the 100 ahead of Buck and Henry of the Artisans in 10.2 and was also good for the 220 ahead of Smith of Manual, who was followed by Bob Gladden of Poly. Best race of the day, how- ever, was a fast 440 in which Buck of Manual emerged winner over Howard Autrey. A faltering third was won by Hunt of the Toilers.

The high jump was the most evenly balanced event, Crear of Manual and Iones of Poly tying for first at 5 feet 8 inches, and Armin- daris of the Toilers and Ward of the locals tying for third. McCardle took the broad jump at 21 feet 7Vz inches, ahead of Iones of Poly. The pole vault was taken by Shirahama of Manual, brother of Poly's C vaulter, at 12 feet 6 inches.

Featured was the long-awaited second duel between the flashy Democrat sprinters, the Langford twins, and Dodo Rountree of Poly, in which Sam and Saul both came out ahead of Dodo in 9.9 and in 22.2 seconds. As expected, the duel between Ieffer- son's long-disputed miler, White, and Spradling and Chacon of Poly was another good event. White, pushed by the Poly boys, had to set a school record and break his own record by 8 seconds to win the event in 4:39.6. Autrey and Lumley came in first and third in the 440. Laird took the half-mile. Pol- lard of Ieff won both hurdles and tied for first in the high jump with his teammate, Harris, to take high scoring honors. McCoy won the broad jump with a leap of 23 feet. Thomas of Ieff took the pole vault at 10 feet 6 inches. Dugan and Cantin of Poly took first and third in the shot. Iefferson easily won the relay, even with a 30-yard handicap. The meet, like the entire season, was exceptionally good be- cause of the fine spirit and sportsmanship displayed by both teams. In the Southern League finals held at Fremont on May 26, Poly scored 17 V2 points to take fifth place in the Southern League. Poly's high score man was Dodo Rountree, who made 6 points by taking two third places in the sprints, behind the Langford twins. Suse Chacon, Poly's steady miler, tied for first with Willett of Huntington Park in 4:42.3. His running partner, Bob Spradling, took a good third. Howard Autrey, Poly's steady 440 man, scored a good fifth for one point. Poly took fourth place in the relay.

He was not pressed all season. He is a likely mile candidate for the varsity next year. Another high point winner and easily the most brilliant performer of the squad was lack Munemura, sprint man who was forced into the second spot only by Herbert of Iefferson. He ran his best races at H.P., reaching 10.2 in the 100 and 22 flat in the 220. Yamaura, Iwanaga, Gold- stein, Wright, Kato, and Freeman also materially aided the squad.

The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization to encourage a spirit of loyalty and cooperation and to increase interest in athletics and establish a high standard of efficiency both mental and physical among the girls of Polytechnic. The G.A.A. is intended to interest girls not only in athletics, but also in social affairs, including both parties and play days. Membership is composed of the girls in the seasonal sports class, Hockey Club, and Gym Club: Mrs. Smith sponsors. A girl may select any one of a large variety of sports which includes speedball, volleyball, tennis, hockey, and basket- ball. The G.A.A. is responsible for all girls' athletic activities and for preparing teams for Senior Field Day and play days both at Polytechnic and at other schools. WWW' Coaching Council Each of the nine members selected from the seasonal sports class and honored with member- ship in the Coaching Council is allotted certain duties and responsibilities. Under the guidance of Miss Fye these girls have become able assistants. Their efficiency and tact when offering helpful hints in baseball, volleyball, speedball, or basketball make them popular with the girls, and their devo- tion is characteristic of Polytechnic spirit. The Coaching Council this year had full charge of a basketball game between the Board of Finance and the Optimist staff.

Girls' Gym Club To serve Poly is the main aim of the Girls' Gym Club. which offers the girls various opportunities for service. Girls in the dancing class may, upon invitation, become members of the club. Mrs. Win- terburn, sponsor, inspires the girls to strive toward better physical development and increasing interest in gymnastics and the dance. Meetings are on Wednesdays during fifth period, and Mondays after school. Each member is eager to assist in making the meetings interesting and worthwhile, some give talks, and all contribute to discussions of dancing. Highlight activities for the term were: an initiation party for incoming mem- bers, a Senior Farewell Party, and a Mother's Tea. Beautiful dance numbers on auditorium programs have been distinctive. Hockey Club The Hockey Club comprises a group of twelve, chosen for their exceptional ability, their intense in- terest in the sport, and their desire to uphold the ideals of good sportsmanship, friendliness, and co- operation. Although they contribute teams for Sen- ior Field Day and play days throughout the year, the main objective is Polytechnic's own play day. The club meets with Mrs. Smith, sponsor, as a regu- lar fifth period class. On the athletic field the mem- bers of the club act as referees and assist with the instruction of new members. Each semester the club holds an initiation party and a farewell party for the Seniors. Mrs. Smith, hockey coach and club leader, is a hockey enthusiast: her interest attracts many girls to the game. Poly girls have been highly successful in all play day hockey matches.

In February, 1939, Miss Florence Pye offered any girl who could pass a reasonable physical examination the opportunity to vie with the mer- maids. There are now two swimming classes which meet every Thursday at the Y.W.C.A. The classes are divided into several sections according to the skill of the members. Proper technique and good sportsmanship are the ideals stressed by the willing and able instructors provided by the Y. An un- usually pleasant 'way of earning GJ-LA. points is made possible by a record of good attendance: skill is measured in the final ability test. Swimming is considered a minor sport of the seasonal sports class. The top six players, the tennis team, are chosen each term through elimination tournaments played on Poly's court. Tennis is becoming an outstanding sport, judging both by achievement and by the size of the tennis classes. Slices, kills, net balls are common terms to the tennis group. Electra Kalionzes and Virginia Thomas, the champions for this year, had their names engraved on the gold trophy cup which was presented to the school in 1936 by Helen Karas. At the Poly play day, December l, Mary Bailey and Mildred Beal competed in tennis against Manual Arts in two close sets, the visitors winning. Under the supervision of Mrs. Smith, the classes are producing tennis stars of first quality. it ,. 168 Tennis Team I Rena Banchieri, Leah Henderson, Sylvia H Wald, Mildred Beal, Iune Raitt, Mary Bailey, Grace Iensen. l Volleyball Row.l: Bertha Gerber, Marjorie Palmgren, Iean Hansen, McCullough, Roberta Sill, Audrey Hagman, Isabel Muir.

Members of the sea- sonal sports class must be either eleventh or twelfth grade students, and they must show ability or inter- est in some sport. Basketball, baseball, volleyball, r and speedball teams are chosen: then, after much f competition, the champion teams are selected and honored. W'39 made speedball the major sport, while S'39 term gave emphasis to basketball and baseball. Volleyball teams are supplied for play ts f day events, but volleyball is not major: swimming, minor also, is new this year. During the tournaments this spring, excitement was especially high. Scores were too close for comfort, and the girls finally named to the winning A teams had truly proved their skill.

The Senior B girls led by Captain Donna Hardy won a closely contested game of hockey from the Aristocrats un- der the leadership of Captain Esther Glass. The score was l-0. Mighty Aristocrats were again de- feated as they made their stand against the Senior B's in a baseball game, ending with a score of 10-5. Although the Achilleans put up a hard fight, the Senior A girls conquered, 33-28, in volleyball. Captain Veva Quirarte led her team to a 21-13 victory in basketball. Aristocrats Helen Golding and Marguerite Hart lost 6-8 and 6-4 to Achilleans Iune ,Haiti and Ruth Lewis in really thrillingiltennis matches. At the noon time tug of war, Iulie Schoen and Shirley Cunningham had the great fun of sprinkling the losing Achillean boys, led by Captain Claude Short: Fred Pierce led the winning Aristocrats. Summer Senior Field Day Experiencing victory throughout Senior Field Day, Wednesday, May l, Achillean girls Walked off with top honors. Meeting with little competition in the first two games, Senior A's defeated the B's in basketball with a score of 10-l, and in baseball with a score of 18-4. They also defeated the B's two out of three games in volleyball. Hockey proved to be the game in which the mighty A's found the B's stronger. Both teams were scoreless until the latter part of the game, when Laura Canzoneri made the one and only score, bringing another victory to the Achillean girls. Manipian girls proved lively opponents and really good losers. Field Day was a grand success. Eleventh and tenth grade students who had not been excused to witness the parade in celebration of the opening of the new Union Station were granted the great privilege of viewing the Senior contests in the afternoon.
