Ralph Ryan, Athletics Editor. The sporting department is perhaps one of the most important parts of a school journal. In its few pages of space most of the pep and ginger of the edition is found. As the school has grown so has the athletic department of the Polytechnic Journal. In the last few years Poly has risen to the top of the heap in local high school competition especially in the two major sports, baseball and football, hence the increase in size of our sporting columns. In taking charge of the sports, the editor assumes much of the blame for its success or failure. If you athletes fail to see your names in print or your pictures adorning one of the following pages, blame me. I thank you. Polytechnic Page Thirteen

From the standpoint of the business manager this term has been a very successful one. The sale of tickets was started off with a bang at the Poly Press rally. After that all the officers of the school co-operated and sold a large number. This system was new this year and has proved to be very successful. Three prizes were offered this term, one for the best story, one for the largest amount of advertising brought in by one person, and another for the largest number of tickets sold. This resulted in infusing more interest into all three fields of activity and quite spirited contests took place. The prize for the best story went to Ramona Attkisson, a member of the High Two class and a new- comer in our columns; the next went to J. D. Shearman; and the third to Bernice Windt. In this, Bernice duplicated her feat of last year in disposing of an even hundred tickets. The first two prizes mentioned were contributed by Mr. E. L. Buttle of the H. S. Crocker Co., formerly with the Carlisle Co., and the last one is regularly offered by the Journal. This Journal is made possible financially by the adver- tising matter printed, and the amount of this advertising depends upon the co-operation of the members of the student body in soliciting it. This term an unuaually large number have devoted some time and effort to this work and the result is that we have more advertisements than we have ever had before. If this co-operation can be main- tained and increased there is no reason that the Journal should not be a money making proposition. We bespeak your patronage for those who have adver- tised with us this year. Form the habit of saying, “I saw Albert Elledge, y°ur advertisement in the Polytechnic Journal,” it will Advertising Manager. pay us and them. Oscar Reichenbach, Joke Editor. As long as the Journal has been published, jokes have been a part of it until now they are as essential to it as eggs are to ham; nowadays a jokeless Journal would indeed be a sad affair. We have endeavored this time to do away with the time-worn custom of copying a joke from another journal or magazine and changing the names to those of prominent students of our school. We do not mean to imply that all our jokes are original, for they most certainly are not. Many, however, were culled from the class rooms (note the alliteration), and the sayings of bright pupils, freshmen and otherwise. At any rate the joke editor hopes he has succeeded in giving his readers a real laugh or two. Page Twelve Polytechnic
