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. MARY MULVIHILL, Counselor R. W. IESSON, Registrar

by ...,..,....,,,4 K. L. STOCKTON, Principal Seniors of 1939: Graduation is a time apart from all others -like no other and distinctly itself. On this memorable occasion I desire to extend con- gratulations and express my feelings of re- spect and admiration for your achievements during the three busy and purposeful years We have Worked together. 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
