Polytechnic High School - Polytechnic Yearbook (San Francisco, CA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1939 volume:

me The Poly boy and the Poly girl make up a separate world within the walls of Polytechnic. Each is fired with enthusiasm and spirit; imbued with a keen zest for living; happy both in his work and in his friends. It is the Poly boy and the Poly girl whom we are using for our theme. As you turn the leaves of our Fall 1939 Poly- technic, the pictorial record of these boys and girls — their work; their activities, both serious and frivolous, unfold. So may the reader know them as they are. T To the man whose keen understand- ing of the problems of modern youth has made him an outstanding figure in San Francisco’s educational field, we, of the journal staff proudly dedi- cate this fall journal. A man of such thorough training and wide experi- ence as our new principal, Mr. Carl A. Anderson, is certainly one to be honored for his part in leading and guiding student life. It is to you, Mr. Anderson, that we dedicate this journal. With the reins of the school held in your capable hands, Poly can well be assured of a bright and successful future. T _Jacu.iti L embers To the Members of the Graduating Class: After twelve years of schooling you are now ready to graduate from high school. Some of you will attend higher institutions of learning and others will go to work. All of you will have the responsibil- ities of citizens and voters, regardless of the field of endeavor in which you engage. We are living in a troubled world, but you must now begin to assume responsibilities for continuing the ideals and principles of our constitution—in other words, to preserve and continue the American way of life. Please accept my best wishes for your success. Sincerely, C. A. Anderson. C. A. ANDERSON, Principal While the tumult and the shouting goes on across the seas, peace in our time” allows us in this land to carry on the full program of activities recorded in this Polytechnic Journal.

Hungerford PAGE NINE Sullivan McDowell President Ed McLean and speaker of congress Lillian Weiss, with the help of Jean Spink, first vice-president, and Jacqueline Block, second vice- president, has brought to a close another successful term. We had excellent rallies for each game and more and better dances than ever before. Faced with the A.A.A. budget cut, treasurers Ed Walsh and Don Peters worked to overcome this handicap. They did achieve their aim and before the end of the term had the budget balanced. They made it possible for student body card holders to enter the fair several times for the price of ten cents. Custodian Bill Gunther kept trophies and bulle- tin board up to date, thus keeping the student body informed on all activities. Our youngest officer, Athletic Manager Jack Schipper, found himself buried under stacks of nickles and dimes but was able to come out on top of the pile holding a fine record for ticket sales. Cheerleader Bill Sullivan and his two assistants, Norman Applebaum and Bill Weiss, have done a fine job directing the card stunts and the cheers of the students in the grandstands. Judge Cecil McDowell called the Student Court to order every Wednesday morning. He deserves credit for the outstanding way in which he handled the criminal” offenders of Polytechnic.

The most important tasks completed this term were the rewiting of the Polytechnic Constitution, adding the necessary amendments, and making the necessary changes to bring the Constitution up to date. The committee work was most successful and gave the majority of the representatives a chance to serve Congress. Ed Shores PAGE ELEVEN The Chamber of Commerce is one of the indis- pensable and honored organizations of the school. The idea of this club is to further the ideals and standards that are for the betterment of Polytechnic. The C. of C. is the largest service organization in the school and is equaled only by the Boys’ Block P.” Any boy who has reached his high sophomore year, has a C average, and is outstanding in school service is eligible for membership. The officers this term were: Keith Whitecar, president; Bill Trood, vice-president; Gridley Dorr, secretary; and Lloyd Strom, treasurer. Much credit is due Mr. Henry Kunz, the faculty advisor, for his help in making this term a great success. Among the events of the term were the formal installation of the new members and the semi- annual banquet. Meetings were held on every other Monday night in room 80. It is hoped that the Chamber of Commerce will continue its sendee in the future as successfully as it has in the past.

PACE TWELVE Jean Spink, President Jean Skinner, Vice-President Doris White, Secretary Clementine Nicolai, Treasurer Every other Thursday morning during the past term, busy exclamations could be heard in Miss Tabrett's office. To one unfamiliar with the scene, the sound had no meaning; but most Polyites recog- nized it as the discussion at the Girls' Student Body meeting. As usual the semi-annual Girls’ Jinx was held and regarded as a great success. Jean Skinner and com- mittee deserve credit for their presentation. This term at the annual Girls’ League convention, Polytechnic was represented by Jean Skinner and Doris White. The convention was held at Girls’ High School followed by a luncheon and a visit to the Fair. This was just one of many social events that was held. To celebrate the completion of the term’s activ- ities, a luncheon was given for the members in the school dining room under the direction of Miss Irene McDermott and chairman Doris White. Under the leadership of Jean Spink the Girls’ Student Body was successful this term. This is one of the organizations that makes Polytechnic an excellent school and it deserves much credit for its contribution to student life activities.

PACE THIRTEEN C ALIFORNIA SCHOLARSHIP FEDERATION i rain5 tor m3 The California Scholarship Federation, Chapter 71, is one of the oldest and most valuable of all Polytechnic organizations. This term proved very successful under the sponsorship of Miss M. G. Roddy and the capable leadership of the officers: Barbara Jeanne O’Brien, President; Elsie Hafner, Vice-President; Helen Oettel, Secretary-Treasurer; and William Shrank, Student Body Representative. Aside from the regular term activities, the Poly C.S.F. had the honor this term of serving as hostess to the semi-annual district convention. Eight hun- dred delegates from some forty-five schools around the Bay Region met in the Hall of Western States on Treasure Island on October 13. The theme of the Convention was Communication, and the guest speakers included: Arthur Linkletter, Cavalcade author; Hale Sparks, the University Explorer; and Dr. Schneider of the University of California. All who attended the Convention declared it a great success from both the educational and entertainment viewpoints. It is to be hoped that many of the ambitious new- comers to Poly will realize the value of scholastic attainment and earnestly strive to become members of the C.S.F. Poly needs to continue her fine record. Barbara Jeanne O’Brien c. s. F. Front Row: Nellie Wong. Bernice Pun. Fannie Chuck. Louise Lee. Emmy Griemsman, Charlotte Gold.

Summer Souvenirs Bob Markey Senior Police Under Captain Bob Markey. the Senior Police have been very active this term. It is their duty to stop all run- ning in the halls, to sec that the students do not cause a congestion on the stair- ways, and to extradite lower classmen from the senior section in the auditorium. PAGE THIRTY-THREE LOW TWELVE—Group I LOW TWELVE—Group II Wayne Person, President Grace Breeding. Vice-Pres. Marie Garcia, Secty.-Treat. Mr. Burch, Advisor In a few days they will don their new senior sweaters and proudly walk down the hall. At last their dreams will be realized. They may sit in the senior section. The senior bench is rightfully theirs. They are high seniors. This will be the reactions of the L12 class after the present high senior class graduates. The officers of the L12 group have been especially active this term. It is their job to conduct the election for the senior sweaters. This term the red slip-on was chosen for the boys, and the red coat sweater for the girls. Wayne Person was a very efficient President, and Grace Breeding and Marie Garcia were Vice President and Secretary, respectively. The L12 class is always outstanding because out of this class come the student body officers for the oncoming term. Those interested in student body activities are already participating in them in order to get enough knowledge to fulfill successfully the positions which they may hold. Ed Walsh and Don Peters were the student body treasurers for this term. L12 members were well represented in both the school publica- tions and in the drama club production.

Helen Clark, Vice-President Mr. Kunz, Counsellor The High Eleven Class of Eall 1939 and the graduating class of December 1940 is one of the up and coming classes of Polytechnic High School both in curricula and extra-curricular activities. Inc President, Gerry Phillips, has distinguished himself both on the Parrot Staff and on the soccer field. All of the Hll officers have held offices before. Helen Clark, Vice President, and Melva McDonald, Secretary-Treasurer, are both well known for their activities in other organizations. Not only are its class officers outstanding, but the high junior class has been well represented on the turf at Ke2ar during the last three months. Dodds, who played guard; Fred Nielson, the tackle who has taken so much kidding about Ry-Krisp this term; and Jim Dados, another guard, all played for Poly's football team. The boys displayed fine ability and promise a grand comeback during the next football season. Sitting along the sidelines and supporting the team with all her might was Jean Peterson, Girls' Athletic Manager and Cheer Leader. With the school spirit which has already been displayed and with the fine representation in student body affairs that this group has shown, the high eleven class promises to be a most active senior class of 1940.

Miss Stein, Counsellor Now we are upper classmen, and we can look down with a nonchalant superiority on the lower classmen—the lowly scrubs,” the bewildered high frosh, and the over-confident sophomores. We are not, however, so superior that we cannot engage in a little harmless ribbing” ot the under-pups,” and we frequently do so. This was the position of the Low Junior Class, the largest class in the school. The president of the Low Juniors was Betty Crites, who represented San Francisco in the California Outdoor Girls Contest. She won the title over all other contestants thus bringing glory to Polytechnic. Assisting officers were Betty Bestland, vice president, and Bob Mills, secretary- treasurer, who filled their offices in a most capable, praiseworthy manner. Other outstanding members of the class include: Shirley Rogers, who deserves a big hand for her accordian playing, which has given enter- tainment to everyone; Jean Urick, whose sweet voice is welcomed at any rally; Jack Schipper, Athletic Manner, youngest Student Body officer this term; and Bill Weiss, assistant cheer leader, who sang at several rallies. The class has concluded its first term of upper division activities most successfully. May we wish them success in their remaining terms as upper classmen.

It is Nigel Keep, who is one of the most active members of the Finance Committee. Of course there are others who should be named, but in this class, which will soon produce the leaders of the school, there are so many who deserve recognition that it is only as a class that we are going to list them.

Mr. Carlson and Mr. Dermody, Counsellors It is into the LlO class that the graduates from the junior high schools of the city are enrolled. Because of this fact the LlO class is usually the largest and greenest” class in the school. This term, however, it was not a green” class, but it was composed of fellows and girls who showed a deep interest in both their studies and in the student body activities. At the school dances a number of the couples on the floor were rep- resentatives of the so-called green” class; while in the service societies throughout the school, low sophomores were enrolling. Bob Turner was President, Dorothy Olden was Vice President, and Carol Ross was Secretary-Treasurer. These officers were outstanding as the President was an active member in Student Court and Dorothy Olden actively participated in the Girls’ Student Body. When this class graduates in June 1942, some of their members will not be there. Some will have graduated, some left school, some even flunked. It is, however, as a unit that they will be remembered. This is the type of class which will be original in everything it undertakes. May they have a lot of luck and a lot of fun during their remaining years at Poly.

Mr. Pronati, Counsellor After one term of the customary low nine ribbing, the high fresh- men may proudly lift their heads, feel at home and even join with the others to give their share of the ribbing to the new low frosh.” Now their eyes are opened; they actually know that there is no swimming pool on the roof and that tickets to ride on the elevator cannot be purchased. During the term two members of the high nine class have dis- tinguished themselves by winning the Sacramento State Fair twin con- test. They are Alex and Chester Meyers, identical twins, who have won previous contests at Treasure Island. The class was represented in true feminine fashion, with the honors of holding the class offices for this term going to Beverly Birkenstock, president; Peggy Simmons, vice-president; and Norma Webster, .sec- retary-treasurer. In a little while new members will join this graduating class of December, 1942. These fellows and girls will come from the junior high schools around the city. It is then that friendships and connections which will be important to them in later life will be formed. The High Nine class has shown a deep interest in activities around the school. Beginning as they have, it will not be long before one of them will take the gavel as President of the student body.

Mrs. Kw� pil, Counsellors At the beginning of this term a new group of fellows and girls tame into Poly. They stared wonder-eyed at the congested halls. They could not quite realize that at last they were part of Polytechnic High School. As the days progressed they elected their officers for the oncoming term. Jack Caldwell was President, June Lagan was Vice President, and Shirley Schipper was Secretary-Treasurer. They soon began to realize that a ride on the elevator could not be bought for five cents or two car-tickets. At the rallies they commenced to enter lustily in the yells. They are as much a part of the schools as are the walls themselves. In June, 1943 this class will be the graduating class. To most of them it seems like they will have to wait forever before they receive their sheep skins and march down the last mile in their caps and gowns. Most of them do not realize that the time spent in high school passes more quickly than during any other period in one's life; and it is up to them to commence immediately to make the most of the excel- lent opportunities offered them.

Knowing this, we have tried to arrange this book so that it will present an accurate and true account of student life in Poly. Naturally we desired to lay out The Polytechnic” in an original manner. In this we believe we have been successful. To Mr. James R. Kinney, our teacher, the journal class extends its deepest thanks. It is only through his untiring efforts and his unceasing kindness that we are able to publish the Journal. Journal is a subject which many students in Poly- technic desire to take due to its importance among the school activities. Because of the number of stu- dents who try to enter the class each term, a great deal of care is taken in selecting the members. Each member must be above average and should have some particular interest in journalism beside the idea of taking it just for credit. There is really a great deal more to putting out a journal than ap- pears on the surface. Each journalist is required to bring in a certain amount of advertisements with- out which the publishing of the book would be an impossibility. The writeups appearing in the journal are all done by the students. Besides completing the necessary work, we stu- dents have had a lot of fun this term.

Walsh During the fall semester of 1939 Mrs. Mary H. Wagner was advisor to the Parrot staff, which is composed of those students who are interested in journalism. Henry Rabin, who proved himself worthy of the editorship by his former work, held this important office during this term. Jack Sulli- van, Barbara Peterson, Lura Caldwell and Jack Cail held the executive offices. Polytechnic played hostess to the chapters of the California Scholarship Federation on Treasure Island the earlier part of the term. The Parrot felt very proud to have published the paper which was distributed at the convention to the delegates present. Another highlight of this term was the press convention held at Stanford University. Represent- ing Polytechnic were Henry Rabin, Bill Griffith and Dave Reznik. The chief desire of the Parrot was to publish the news pertaining to both the social and service organizations throughout the school in an accurate and interesting manner. This was achieved by the reporters diligently covering all events held through- out the term. The course not only offers active par- ticipation in student life but also valuable training in journalism. The requisite to the Parrot staff is one term of be- ginning newswriting. All prospective members are urged to take this immediately in order that they may soon enjoy the benefits derived from News- writing.

Like all public schools Polytechnic also has its courses in music. Music, the most glorious, exciting and lasting art of all the ages, has never in all its history gone through a dark period, but has con- stantly progressed to satisfy man’s desires. Music is the art that can never be equalled in giving enjoy- ment and happiness to all who appreciate fine things. In the study of music one discovers many won- derful things about this glorious art and learns to visualize what the composer wants the listener to feel: tragedy, happiness, sorrow, or any possible incident that may have occurred. The Music Building of Polytechnic is situated at the right of the main building. Hundreds of pupils come out of this building yearly with a better understanding of this highly educational art. Many phases of music, such as orchestra and band, the history of music, harmony, and sight-singing are studied. Upon examining in detail the different sections of this building, the Utopia to Music Lovers, we enter to find Mrs. Dee telling her pupils about the history of music and its development in the differ- ent parts of the world. We leave Mrs. Dee's class and with a few steps we enter the music auditorium where our young and very energetic conductor, Mr. Krieger, may be found. He is conducting either the Polytechnic Sym- phony Orchestra, the band, or some small group of beginners. Although he has been conducting classes in Polytechnic only a few years, he has produced such grand orchestras and bands that he is con- stantly being called upon to have his groups play for some affair given by the city or the school. The pupils of these classes receive wonderful education because they encounter practically the same experi- ences as they would in a professional orchestra or band. They have rehearsals and give concerts for which they receive credit. When they receive the re- quired amount of credits, they are given a music block. Mr. Krieger is very interested in giving light classical music to his classes because he feels that they should receive enjoyment as well as a better technique. His method of teaching, though not always easy, is never dull. PAGF FIFTY-FOUR Leaving the Music Auditorium, we climb a stair- way to the top floor where harmony and sight-singing are taught by Miss Rother, the head of the Music Department. Many an audience has thrilled to her famous A Capella Choirs. She has a natural talent for this work; and when leading a choir, she instills such enthusiasm in her pupils that they sincerely strive to please her. As the world faced a turmoil which would rock the entire foundation upon which civilization was based, the plan was conceived to awaken the idea of peace in everyone’s heart by having a state wide hymn contest. This hymn was to be based on peace. The two winners of the contest who had their hymns sung and were guests of honor at a banquet at the Yerba Buena Club on Treasure Island were two Polytechnic students, Peggy Sanches and Roy Sayles. Polytechnic students usually supply the enter- tainment at the rallies. Betty Krueger, Vera Nelson, and Bill Weiss are the leading singers. The annual Band Jamboree was held and was a complete success. The Poly band recently bought their new white uniforms which give them four different uniforms they might wear. At last Poly did away with the old drab uniforms and with it came back Poly’s spirit. May we add our wishes for the Music depart- ments success and hope that it will continue to give a number of pupils their start on the ladder of success. Lefty Delis BAND Front Row: Mucugc. Freeman.

PAGE FIFTY-FIVE 3, tlicjLtd The Beginning Drama Class this term presented three popular one act plays. These plays were The Happy Journey, a story about a family visiting their aunt; Why I Am A Bachelor,” a monologue related by a man while a couple portray the situations; and From School Bells to Recess,” a hum- orous play about high school life. These plays were presented by the Drama Class at the assemblies held throughout the term. OL espians Prominent members of the cast of 320 College Avenue included Thelma Cudd as Judith Wayne, the most pop- ular girl in the college; Mert Dilley as the hard-boiled Chief Dugan; and his assistant, Abe, the dumb cop with the accent, was portrayed by Henry Rabin. Billie Southern as the dean of women; and James Hills as the timid dean of men, were outstanding in their charac- terizations. An important factor in the success of this production was that each member of the class completely forgot his own personality in living the part of the person whom he was portraying.

It is interesting to note that all of the officers had important roles in this term’s dramatic produc- tion, 320 College Avenue.” General Manager Jack Trimble designed the programs. The corpse seen draggling from a yard-arm was planned by Gene Kocherga who had charge of the advertising. The club enjoyed a get- together after the play where they forgot memorized lines and had a lot of fun acting like themselves. (Curtain C alis 320 College Avenue, a mystery comedy with an unexpected but hilarious ending was presented by the Polytechnic Drama Club. As the curtain rises a party is in progress at a sorority house. Judy, the most popular girl on the campus, proposes a dance in the darkness. While the lights are lowered, a scream pierces the air and Judy’s partner is found murdered. The plot becomes compli- cated as the detective vainly endeavors to discover the murderer. Another mur- der is committed when Judy is about to disclose the assassin’s identity. This time, however, the killer is uncovered.

PAGE FIFTY-SEVEN on The closing of the fall semester is practically here, and with it the curtain falls on another successful R. O. T. C. season. Poly can well be proud of its military organization, ably living up to the high standards set by its predecessors. To Lt. Giblin goes full credit for bringing out every capability in his man. The past semester was highlighted by the Armistice Day Parade and Poly's company was rated the most efficient high school unit present. Captain Collier McDermonn and Lieutenants Bob and Ed Williams officered the batallion. The R. O. T. C. band lead by Drum Major Elmer Hayes is rounding out its term of activity and has effectively carried out the musical part of military work. Both groups are looking forward to the annual Commandant's Cup Competition and are expected to walk off with more than their share of honors. Especially has the third batallion been training with the band in their new streamlined drills. Poly's R. O. T. C. has earned the praise of the entire school, and has set a mark for which future groups may aim. Jack Caii. Top to Bo no ns: Company L and colors. Officers. Band. RiHc learn. Company 1.. Company K.

(Below ) Captains Art Hkdall of Poly and Jim Honnert of Lowell shake hands before the crucial Thanksgiving Day Classic. This semester the Parrot gridders proved them- selves well worthy of city recognition by allowing only two teams in the triple A league to score on them. They showed that their line was not only the biggest in the city, but possessed the most power, enthusiasm, and fight. The following boys are the ones who enabled the Parrot backfield to make their charges and passes, the ones who stopped opponents dead in their tracks when line charges were made: at left end were Ed Stuart and Bill Johns; left tackle, Themis Nicholas and Fred Neilson; left guard, Jim Dadaos and Phil Schneider; at center, Mark Rivero and Roald Larum; right guard, Ed McLean and John Dodds; right tackle, George Cor- reris and Harvey Vicchio; right end, Chuck Adams PAGE SIXTY-EIGHT Front Row: Bartholomew, Rivero, Ferem, Anderson, Silvia, Thompson, Alexander, Ekdall, Mills.

Few teams can boast of bullet passes which would equal those of Mert Dilley, or the long dis- tance kicks equal to those of Tom Ellis. Lee Nclder and Harold Mattson well deserve the build-up which was given to them at the beginning of the season. Art Ekdall proved himself to be Poly’s star by the perfect percentage which he made on his line plunges and runs. Joe Ferem, Ferdy Asdrubale, and Len Alexander who, though not endowed with the large stature of Lee Nclder, surprised all grid fans by making in- credible gains on offense and beautiful tackles on defense.

Poly’s Parrots literally tore their oppon- ents into shreds by a 25 to 0 victory. The gridders were handicapped by a number of fumbles which resulted in loss of yardage, but not of the game. Due to the state-wide heat wave, this game was played at Seals Stadium at night. Poly students formed a large majority of the capacity crowd which filled the bleachers. Polyites gave further encourage- ment to their team by resounding cheers which left the residents in that vicinity filled with amazement. The touchdowns were scored by Ellis, Nelder, and Ekdall. Tom Ellis' conversion split the uprights and continued its journey to unknown parts outside the stadium. This game was outstanding, both because it was Poly’s opening game and because it was the first night game. POLY 0; GALILEO 0 When Poly’s Parrots faced the Lions, the champs of last season, they were faced by a mighty wall which they were unable to penetrate; however, our wall held the Lions also. The result of the game was a 0 to 0 deadlock. The game, however, was filled with thrills for the excited spectators. POLY 24; WASHINGTON 0 The Eagles on Geary Street were the next to fall prey to Poly gridders. Our boys felt vengeance was due them for not having overpowered their previous opponent, Galileo. In disabling the Washington Eagles, our boys were looked upon as the most pow- erful team in the A.A.A. league. The Washington gridders were completely overpowered and showed slight resistance to the powerful thrusts of our backfield. It is not possible to give the forward line PACE SEVENTY all the credit of the day; for without the powerful blocking of the backfield, the 24 points would not have been gained. Scorers for the day were Mattson, Ekdall, and Nelder. POLY 7; BALBOA 9 When Poly arrived to play the third game of its season, the two teams were evenly matched and be- lieved to be on a par with each other. This game, which was perhaps the turning point in the league fracus, was hard fought to the last minute, but found the Parrots on the short end of a 9 to 7 score. The breaks all seemed to favor the Buccaneers, and try as they might, the Sunsetters were unable to dis- lodge the Pirates from their ship. Poly's lone touch- down was scored after a perfectly coordinated pass from Ellis to Ekdall. Ellis added another digit in converting. POLY 6; ST. IGNATIUS 0 Determined not to be out of the running for the high places in the A.A.A.championship, the Parrots again appeared bravely on the turf of Kezar. This time, however, they were confident of winning. The Wildcats proved themselves to be highly under- rated and gave the Parrots a hard struggle in order to hold their 6 to 0 lead. The Wildcats proved their viciousness, but they played a losing game after Poly’s lone touchdown. This touchdown was set up by Fred Neilson after Poly's having recovered a fumble on the twenty yard line. It then took Mattson three plays to carry the slippery pigskin over the goal line. Ellis’ attempt to convert was blocked, which left the score at 6 to 0. The Stanyan Street boys proved to be one of the most determined teams which the Parrots opposed this season. PAGE SEVENTY-ONE f arroti f l'ucheJ on Jnrbeu «2)i au POLY 0, LOWEL O 2 While adult crowds were fired with enthusiasi and spirit for the Big Game” between Stanford and California, The Big Game” of the Triple A League between Poly and Lowell was being waged by the defenders of both schools. All city papers and grid statistics showed the teams to be on about even terms. From the opening minute of play to the final gun both teams lived up to previous traditions. They showed how a Poly-Lowell football game should be played. The spirit displayed at these games is something which is never found anywhere else. The rooters seem to know each player by his face and walk, rather than by his number. They are more alert to offsides and to holding penalties than are most adult spectators. s usual the game was played to an attendance of about 50,000 spectators who were visualizing turkey, Parrot meat, and Indian scalps all at the same time. Lowell’s team, which went through the league without a defeat, continued this onward march by including the Parrots on its list of victories. After four quarters of determined fighting, the Parrot gridders had to give up to the Indian’s onslaught which resulted in a score of 12 to 0. Joe Verducci’s boys showed the sportsmanship and spirit which has made this traditional game the game that it is today. Even though they were powerless against the blocking and tackling of the Indians, they did not yield an unfought yard. The Indians ate Parrot meat; but the Poly spirit was strong as the entire student body remained to sing the hymn. Incident- Art Ekdall had a clear held in front of him during the Poly-Lowell game until Bill Joslyn, No. 28, came in from the hack held and stopped him from making more than 14 yards against Lowell.

POLY 19; COMMERCE 0 Entering the stadium for the eighth and final game, Poly’s gridders were determined not to be the underdog in their game against Commerce. They upheld their determination by using all the foot- ball tactics known in the game. The scores for the day were gained by Dilley, Dadaos, and little Joe Ferem, who scored after a spectacular 93-yard run, the longest in the 1939 prep season. POLY 25; MISSION 0 The Mission Bears' hopes for the championship were shattered when they met the terrific onslaught of Joe Verducci’s boys. Mission entered the stadium filled with the hope of dislodging the mighty Par- rot machine from its perch. They found, however, that they were unable to cope with the smashing charges of giant Lee Nelder and the pass throwing of Ellis and Ekdall. The Parrots’ 25 points were scored by Nelder, Ekdall, Mattson, and Adams. Adams received a long high pass from Ellis and went over for a touchdown. After having witnessed this game, sports writers recognized Poly’s back- field line as the most powerful in the league. It was believed by many that if fate had not been against the Parrots they might have been able to win the crown which they lost to the mighty Galileo team last year.

A sad disappointment con- fronted the team at its practice game with Hayward High School when Ralph Hill, one of the star players, broke his ankle. Ralph was one of Poly’s best forwards and his failure to play gave the team a great loss, but the training the casabans had re- ceived from Coach Gordon Carlson and Assistant Bob Markey inspired them to beat Hayward. The chance of placing high on the A.A.A. ladder looked black to them at the beginning of the season, but the Parrots showed they had the playing ability and came out in a clear second behind the champions, Lowell.

Coach Gordon Carlson's 120-pound basketball team ended a spectacular season by winning all of its games and thereby becoming possessor of the A.A.A. championship crown. It was due largely to the fine spirit shown by each casaba player that the championship was gained. The team displayed true Poly spirit and cooperated as a team, rather than as individuals. Because of the grand training given the boys by Coach Carlson, they came through the season with only one defeat. The team played 16 games; but it lost bravely to St. James High School, which shows the fine sportsmanship which it possessed. Assistant coach, Bob Markey, was a great help to the boys. Due largely to Coach Carlson’s unceasing effort to mould the team into one unit, the team will probably be able to continue its success for all of the boys are to be here for another term of playing. The five casaba players who were on the first team and were outstanding at every game were: AI Conti, known as the second Luisetti; Koji Urabe, fast and furious; Jim Witt, tall, lanky, and quick on the rebounds; Jim Caldwell, who furnished the muscles and speed; and Dick Andre, the brains and spark of the team. The boys played high schools out of town, but a number of the games were played at Poly- technic’s Boys’ Gym where enthusiastic followers of basketball watched the games. POLY 26; ST. IGNATIUS 16 The Parrots ran up a large score against the Wildcats as the latter were very weak in their de- fensive playing. Dick Andre, one of the best casaba players ever to enter Poly, was the outstanding player during this game. PACE SEVENTY-SIX POLY 37; SACRED HEART 13 The fighting Irish tried hard to overcome the power which the Parrots displayed; however, they were unable to break away from their guards and were badly beaten. POLY 29; WASHINGTON 22 This game was dangerously close until the clos- ing minutes of play. The Parrots outplayed the Eagles, however, and came out victorious. Little Andre again sparked his team on to victory. POLY 21; BALBOA 18 Again Poly came from behind and in the closing minutes of play proved to be more powerful than the weakening Buccaneers. POLY 25; LOWELL 17 Poly proved to be the better team as soon as the gun sounded for the beginning of the game. The Indians were heavily trounced as the best team won. POLY 26; COMMERCE 23 During the last 55 seconds of play, A1 Conti tickled the mesh of the basket several times and made the points necessary to give Poly another vic- tory. POLY 35; MISSION 28 The Parrots were behind during the entire game until the beginning of the fourth quarter when Poly, led by little Al Conti, overwhelmed Mission with a barrage of baskets.

B r t PACK SEVENTY-1;ICHT President Anne Belli began a term of pleasure and activity by welcoming into the Girls' Block P” Society the new members and introducing the officers for the fall term. Officers for this term are: President, Anne Belli; vice-president, Marian Leva; secretary-treasurer, Anita Fridley; parliamentarian, Pearl Carson. All have worked hard and deserve a great deal of credit for the honors they have added to this valuable organization. Only those girls who have proved themselves out- standing in scholarship and high ideals and who have earned the Block P” are eligible for member- ship. This term the girls ushered at the Fall Council of the C.S.F. on Treasure Island. They also served as hostesses to visiting members of the G.A.A. from Lowell and George Washington. Mrs. Kohler, who has sponsored the Society this term, has found the members indispensable and is deeply grateful for their valuable assistance in the gym department.

A. has again come to the end of a very successful term under the supervision of the Physical Education department. Each term the members of each sport elect a manager and assistant manager who automatically become members of the Girls’ Athletic Association Board.The officers for this term were: Delta Nicolai, President; Odette Mitchell, Vice President; Anka Perisich, Secretary; and Jean Peterson, Girls’ Ath- letic Manager. The G. A. A. Board meets every other Friday at 8 A. M. The aim of this organization is to unite the girl students into one body and to hold and create a general interest in the sports curriculum. This organization has enjoyed numerous social functions and brings this term to a close with the annual banquet at which time the awards are dis- tributed according to the merit of the receivers. Numerous sports were offered to the girls under the guidance of the teachers. The beginning and PACB EIGHTY advanced riding met every eighth period and Miss Thompson peted in the all-city rid again made an excellent The girls showed a great interest iff hockey, and we predict a great future for this sport. This is taught on two different days to two different groups. The advanced hockey class and the beginning hockey group each have their own day and individ- ual instruction. The girls are taught how to shoot hold their sticks, and above all, good At the end of the term the two play each other at which time it is discovered all the beginning class lacks is experience. Under the guidance of Mrs. V. Koehler tennis was taught to enthusiasts of this sport. It is believed that this has lead to better sportsmanship and better playing on the courts. Beginning badminton met every Thursday. The members of this sport, due to the skillful instruc- PAGE EIGHTY-ONE Here is the girl who is the G. A. A. manager, Jean Peterson.

Due to the limited number of tables, ping pong, which is a popular sport with Polyites, was used as a fill in. Every Thursday at the Ingleside Golf Course, the Poly girls were to be found swinging their clubs under the direction of Miss F. McCall and the Beer Brothers. This is a sport which one can not afford to miss. A tournament was played in which the girls displayed excellent golf ability. While the beginners receive special instruction, the advanced girls enjoy the freedom of the course. At the Crystal Palace Baths there is a greater amount of representatives from Poly than from any other school. This shows that Poly girls love this sport. They love to swim, dive, splash the water, and at the same time receive valuable instruction from their own swimming instructor, Miss Tausche. Poly swimming classes are divided according to PAGE EIGHTY-TWO the ability and experience of the student. Our in- structor specializes in helping the beginners over- come their fear of the water and teaches all types of swimming. Advanced badminton is one of Poly’s most pop- ular sports. Before entering into the class, the stu- dents must have had previous experience in the playing and in the scoring of the game. Knowledge of the rules is stressed, and they must have an ade- quate summary of these qualifications before they are permitted to referee. The badminton tourna- ment, held in the latter part of October, showed a complete resume of the shots which were taught to the class. The play day at the end of the term is always a popular climax to the season. It is here that the teachers see their students display that which they have taught them. It is with a great deal of appre- ciation that each member of the G. A. A. wishes to thank her instructor for the kindness and considera- tion which was shown to her.
