Ad L gXXILQL' f As time progresses, new and better ways of trans portation gradually replace the Old. This, in the most part, holds true with the theme we have chosen for our yearbook, the cable car. One by one, cables were re- placed by other means of transportation; such as street cars and busses. It was not until 1941 that the last Castro Cable Car left 18th and Castro Streets to mark the end of the last fragment of the Market Street lines. The interest to save cables, not only for historical reasons, but for practical hill climbing, had begun ; civic groups banded together to keep them but by the time they started in 1942, the Clay Street line, the oldest and original cable line in San F rancisco, was already ripped up. It was not until after the war that people as a whole fought for keeping the cables. As it is today, the cables will keep running, and the rhythm of the clattering cable shall keep in time with the progress of San Francisco.

ANDERONS'S MESSAGE Graduating from high school is an important event, and I congratulate you upon having successfully reached this milestone in your career. Some of you will continue your education in higher institutions of learning. Others will find positions in business, industry, the trades, or will engage in the noblest career of all, home making. Polytechnic High School has endeavored to prepare you for these duties and responsibilities. You will have many responsibili- MR. HUNGERFORD: You have heard me tell you many times at rallies about the line traditions that are. a part of the Polytechnic spirit. You have not only heard about these, but I believe that most of you have tried your earnest best to live up to them. My wish for you at this time of your graduation is that you have the drive, the zest, and the chance to show the world the real value of the Polytechnic graduate. Wherever you go, whatever you do, face each new task with enthusiasm and willingness. If the job calls for close. attention to detail, or if it requires long hours and hard work, or if it demands broad general knowledge, give it what it asks for, and then something more. That more that you give, you know by now, is the diHerence between doing and being. The tradition that Polytechnic graduates are doerr is the tradition that I commend to you today. Cordial regards, PAUL HUNGERFORD Dam of Boy; ties getting further preparation for yOur life work, making a living, discharging the obligations of citizen- ship and establishing happy homes. In all of these un- dertakings I wish for yOu all possible Success. May your lives be full of happiness, satisfactions and service to others. Sincerely yours, CARL A. ANDERSON, Principal MRS. WALKER: You are Polytechnic's last classes for the first half of the twentieth century. You leave us to face a world of many new, unusual, and exciting things. The second half of this century finds you starting your course as young adults. We hope we have given you the educational wherewithal to commence your new life with calmness and assurance. If we have done this for you, as a faculty, we have served you to the best of our ability. We know we have tried to give you 21 firm foundation.

The new vice president, Pat Weiss, gave the social activities Of the term a real start with the something new? The Sox Hop gave the girls a chance to display the products of their needlework; Poly fellows were very happily attired in the greatest collection of hand- knit argyles in the history of the school. The student body was much in evidence at the games in helping Cheer Leader Don Hongisto and his assist- ants to show the team we were there behind them as they came through for the third straight time. XVatch- mg the Finances, keeping the books, and selling the tickets for these games were George Pickle, treasurer; Barba Templin, assistant treasurer: and Bill Keehner. athletic manager.

His first-hand assistant, Vice- President Nancy Erickson, kept her campaign promises by planning the first free dance at night, The Seeing DOlele TurnabOut. Finances were the worries of Treasurer Bob Korte and his assistant, George Pickle. Not only did they encourage sales of Student Body cards; but, they sold book covers, a new service initiated to help us students. Ian Dobson, athletic manager, was busy selling tickets to the basketball, alI-city baseball games, and track meets. Dennis OiMalley helped promote sales and boosted spirit considerably as he energetically did his best to uphold the office of yell leader. Custodian Jim Nash kept the bulletin boards filled with posters and brightly shining trophies, with the aid of Judge Charles Held, who enthusiastically pre- sides at the Student C0urt and takes interest in the judi- cial section of the student government very seriously. One of the many other newly formulated ideas of the term was the Girls' and Boys' COuncils, which help make Poly a happier place.

The class collectors are composed of representatives from each home room. Their job is to collect the money for game tickets, journal sales, and any other financial needs. .V CLASS COLLECTORS v Top 77110: F. Hall, P. Krois, G. Ellingert D. Hart. 1 R. Ferguson, B.

The pur- pose of the councils is to give Polytechnic students a chance to voice their own opinions on rising school problems through student representation. These prob- lems are then discussed and worked out in the best manner by the members of the councils. The boards consist of student leaders from the various classes, clubs, and organizations at Poly and are presided over by Nancy Erickson, student body Vice president, and Jerry Emanuel, student body president. Regular meetings of the councils are held every other Wednesday during fifth period. The members of the Girls, Council are Nancy Erick- son, Lorraine Jagow, Esther Yamashita, Mildred Chan, Arlyn Retzlaff, Jean Norman, Carmen Grant, Bev Thomas, Joan Winther, Bea Byers, Johanna Segger, Gail Beach, Arlene Alstead, Janice Stewart, Gwen Nordwall, Mary Washington, and Carol Menhennet.

Pres- ident Rudy handled the affairs and important decisions of the Class, and Vice President Barbara proved her efficiency by presentng the class with two terrific so- cial affairs, a senior danCe in the girls' gym, and the Senior Prom held in the Colonial Room of the St. Francis Hotel. The other two class officers, Secretary Anne Thiele and Treasurer Valerie Chemnick, con- scientiously carried out their duties, and with the sup- port of an enthusiastic class of seniors behind them, they accomplished a lot during their last memorable year at Polytechnic High School. What do our Fall 49 seniors remember most? Why, they remember all the faithful seniors who sat through fog, wind, and sun to use their long awaited privilege of sitting on the Senior Bench. They remember their High Senior Dance, the Eskimo Escapade, held in the girls' gym. Foremost in their thoughts is that sad and gloomy day when Polyls football team lost to Balboa, 241-0, that was a big defeat for Poly but they came back in the fmals and really yelled for our boys; this time Poly came out on top. They will also remember Mr. james R. Kinney, their Class counselor, whose under- standing and encouraging advice, remain a part of their memories shared at Poly. But most of all they remember Graduation, for it was then that their parting from high school days was RL'DY KNL'DSEN .. e . . President made complete.

FEBRUARY 6eT0day, the first day of the Spring Term 1950, I became a Senior. Resplendent in my new white senior sweater, I wasted no time in occupy- ing the senior bench although it seems just as hard and just as full of splinters as any other; nevertheless, it's my bench for a term. FEBRUARY 17e1 elected my officers today. There were many very able and well qualified candidates; but after the two ballots necessary to decide ties, I selected as my leaders Don Stanaway, president; Carmen Grant, vice president; Bob Clenner, treasurer; and Charlotte Quintero, secretary. MAY 19aSunny May skies, the mingled cries of barkers and performers, tents of mystery, colorful Hut- tering banners, the tang of my candied apple, some ice cream to make the warm sun more enjoyable, all these things combined to make a kaleidoscope of action and color out of my Court Fair. MAY 25-T0night was my night at the term play. Ligbmin', as given by the Poly dramatists under Mr. Morrison, was excellently done; but as I left tonight, I began to realize that but a few days remained until this easy, fun-fllled life would be no more. JUNE ZwThe Empire Room at the Sir Francis Drake was the scene of my Prom. The dancing to the music of Bobby Brittain, the coronation of my king and queen, the minutes spent chatting, each was a memor- able part of this big evening. Tonight, tired but happy, I wonder, Is this the end? Is it the beginning? Or is it both? JUNE 13h'iWill the last meeting of the Spring Class of 1950 please come to order. Thus I existed for the last time. I have passed from Polyite to graduate across the Opera House stage before my proud parents, teachers, and friends. In my years at Polytechnic I have received much, but I hope I have left something which will be of value to those who will follow in my footsteps. So I DON STANAWAY say, Polytechnic, farewell.

Fullback PAGE THIRTY-NINF, Parrots Gain Finals . .. Wth H5: Gridders Still Top Triple A Probably not the greatest of all Poly teams, but very close to the most efficient, the 1949 Parrots from Poly- technic won another crown to boost their record-shat- tering string to four consecutive gonfalons. Their goal was crossed for 106 points but the Red and Black were rock-ribbed when they had to be. Offensively they scored 270 points in winning eight of their nine games. Once more Milt Axt guided the fortunes of the Parrots from the bench with assistance from Sergeant Woodward. The line was big and fast and only in the first Bal- boa game were they outplayed. The backfield had lightninglike speed and coupled with its passing, power, and depth it was the A.A.A's best pack of backs. At the ends were Don Wlliitey Brand and big Harlan Miller. Both made various 2nd and 3rd all- city teams. HWhitey was an excellent pass-snagger and Harlan repelled most of the shots directed his way. Unanimous All-Northem California selectee and captain of the Parrot squad, Pat XWood, was a hard man to move and a sound blocker. At right tackle was Art Jepsen, another 20d team all-city gridder. PAGE FORTY Handling the guard posts were All City Len Jor- gensen and Chuck Held. llJorgie played a smashing brand of ball and Chuck blocked with authority. Over the ball was Jim Goodwin, another Parrot who pushed for all-city honors and a hustling all- around ballplayer. Running the Parrot attack was All-City Tony Cal- vello. His play-calling, ball-handling, and passing were all of standout proportions. At left halfback the T-men were blessed with two quick, flashy rompers. Jim Blankenship, who gained all-city honors, was the league's leading gr0und gainer and second team all-city. Jim Sampson broke up sev- eral games with his fleet goalward rushes. Running?7 from right half was dependable Ed Fletcher, whose play was overshadowed by the crowd-appealing antics of the other Red and Black ball-toters. At fullback was the oft-injured Gene Bernstein.

With Poly in from 14 to 6 in the third quarter, 21 brilliant 60-yard ramble by Jim Blank- enship blew the game wide open. Scoring were Blankenship twice, Gene Bernstein, Tony Cnlvello, and Jim Sampson. After the game Poly once more as- sumed her spot as the team to beat. A bit ragged, but such speed and downfield blocking would offer plenty for any team, anywhere, to cope with. POLYTECHNIC 20, COMMERCE 12 A tremendous second-half surge led by Gene Bern- stein brought Poly a 20-12 Victory over Commerce. Behind 12-6 at the half, Bernstein blasted 63 yards to tie the score and Jim O'Neill's conversion put the Parrots on top. Later Tony Calvello tallied on a quarterback sneak from the one. The flrst tally had come on :1 behind the line pass from Calvello t0 Bernstein, with the stocky full dashing 62 yards to pzlydirt. Iil-the;a second half the V'T-men were a championmip team. POEYTECHNIC 21, MISSION 12 Playing to the occasion, Poly fought to a 21-12 triumph over a fired-up Mission team. After Jim Blankenship dashed 64 yards to a TD in the opening seconds, fumbles and alert Bear defensive play forced the Mechanics to once more come through in the second half. Gene Bernstein opened the intermission by going to the Bear 7, where he fumbled and Len jorgensen recovered for :1 score. Blankenship added to the final counter from the 11, minutes later. POLYTECHNIC -i7, LOXWELL 19 Poly stumbled to a 13-7 halftime lead on break- ;lways by Fred XVright and Jim Sampson, but suddenly errupted to score 3 times in the second half and win 47-19. The Indians fell still farther behind the Parrots in games won, as the fleetness afoot 0f the Mechanic backs and Tony Calvello's aerial wizardry presented too big of a hurdle for rm undermnnned Card team to overcome. Making the scoring column were XVright, Sampson twice, Bob Nicola, Ed Fletcher, Stan Ozaki, 21nd jim O'Neill. POLYTECHNIC 27, LINCOLN 7 Playing their best ball up to this game, Poly rolled over a tough Lincoln team 27-7. The scoring opened when Jim Sampson intercepted 21 Link pass and galloped 72 yards to cross the double chulkline. Minutes later, Bob Nicola went back to pass, found no receivers open and thrashed 40 yards to another market. A second half drive, with Stan Oznki 21nd Nicola doing the heavy work, ended with Nicola bustling into the end zone from the 1. The final marker was Fred Wright's blast from the 3. The stock of the hT-men soared considerably, because they beat a team with a good line and diversified attack. POLYTECHNIC 28, SACRED HEART 12 Poly hit what was probably her season low 215 they were barely outslopped by the Irish while winning,y 28-12. Tony Calvello opened the scoring by moving into paydirt on a quarterback sneak. The next tally came on a beautiful Calvello to Ed Fletcher aerial from the 8.1-1. 28.

FINALS POLYTECHNIC 26, BALBOA 0 Two teams, fresh from a pair of devastating,7 semi- final victories, met for the title before 43,000 fans on Thanksgiving Day. The Parrots first tally came after Jim Sampson brought an intercepted pass to the BuC 38. Then the T-men drove to the 3 and from there Tony Calvello threw to Don Brand for the score. Later in the same period Jim Blankenship had a 66- PAGE FORTY-FOUR yard romp called back for clipping. In the second period Ed Fletcher belted 6 yards for the second tally. The third canto found Poly fumbles hampering their chances to score again, but a 31-yard drive led by junior Stan Ozaki put the ball on the 6 and from there Gene Bernstein bulled it over. Bernstein also scored the last marker on a 6 yard Circle of left end climaxing a 25 yard drive. Standing out were Calvello, Harlan Miller, Pat Wood, Len Jorgensen, Blanken- ship and Bernstein.

NORMAN WHEELOCK As in years before, Poly's junior varsity and goofs didn't have brilliant won and lost records but pro- duced some excellent prospects for varsity ball. The jayvees won once, lost twice, and tied three times in six starts. Only freshmen and sophomores were on the squad. Now somewhat Out of their past spotlight, the goofs won one and lost one in their two contests. The jayvees resemble to a certain extent the hgoofs of 21 few years back, except that they play in a league. The goofs are now made up of 14-year-old fresh- men and sophomores. BOB NICOLA AI.

VARSITY BASKETBALL The Polytechnic varsity finished the 1950 A.A.A. basketball season with a total of fOur wins against five losses. It sie$med that with the new system that included playoffs to determine the class of the league, all of the prep teams were Out to enter the semi-finals. Coach Gordon Carlson established a starting five built around four capable veterans. They were Paul Matelli and Marshall Maisels, forwards, and Gene Goehner, captain of the all-city five and scoring leader of the 130 pOund division last year, and Leroy Hilsen, at3the guard positions. The newcomer to the Poly quintet was John Forbes, sensational sophomore center. Athletic teams always have their misfortunes and the Parrots were not to be overlooked. The first hard- ship was the loss of LeROy Hilsen, speedy guard who was one of the threats of the Red and Black offense and defense. Next came the untimely loss of Gene Goehner, Poly,s key player. His illness during the latter half of the campaign showed in Parrot defeats. Determined Marshall Maisels, Paul Matelli, John Forbes, Bob Korte, Harry Busse and Harry Eliop010us carried on in spite of these changes. Maisels led the Parrots with 73 points. Goehner and Maisels were chosen on the second string all-city team. The Frederick Street club entered the regular season with victories over Tamalpais, Sorrth San Frantisco, and Serra High Schools in practice games. A Clever Parrot offense led by Maisels and Goehner, with 11 counters apiece, climaxed a 37-33 victory over the Commerce Bulldogs in the AAA. opener, at Kezar Pavilion. Balboa was the next victim of the Mechanics. Gene Goehner amassed 20 digits to account for the 50-45 victory. Paul Matelli and John Forbes also displayed good basketball. It was three in a row as the Parrots overcame a stub- born Sacred Heart quintet, 25-20. Goehner, Maisels and Hilsen led the Red and Black to victory. The Poly five then lost a close tilt to undefeated Washington, 34-29. Gene Goehner was high for the losers with 11. In their next Outing, the Mechanics lost a wild encounter to the Lions of Galileo. LeRoy Hilsen col- lected 12 points as the Parrots were defeated, 47-34. The powerful Mustangs of Lincoln High fOund a stubborn Victim in the weakening Parrot, winning 47-34.

The Parakeets had won the crown in 1949 and had hopes of retaining the title. Stiff com- petition led the team and fans to believe that prac- tically every prep team was Hloaded. The first team consisted of forwards Dick Fitzgerald and Louie Hilbert, guards Paul Harris and Bob Kneis with Bob JackSOn alternating, and Bob Winters at center. Of this first team LOuie Hilbert was chosen second string all-city, with a total of 51 points, and Dick Fitzgerald third string all-cityt The remainder Of the team that saw league action were Bob Jackson, Frank Olson tinjured most of the seasom, Boyd Dresser, Bev Calica, Rudy Calica, and Bob McDonald. The Parakeets entered the Triple A season with victories over Hayward, Richmond, Tamalpais, South San Francisco and Serra High Schools. High hopes for another championship and undefeated record were slashed rOughly by the Bullpups from Commerce. The hard fighting Parrots lost their opener to Commerce, 31-25. Bob Kneis was high for the losers with 8 digits to his credit. Bob Winters and LOuie Hilbert played good Hoor games. Still somewhat lost in a sea of determined con- tenders, the Frederick Street club lost another Close tilt to the Balboa Bucs, 37-30. This heartbreaker fOund Paul Harris leading the Parrots with 11 counters. The Red and Black seemingly caught fire as they regained lost prestige and buried a strong Sacred Heart Irish, 32-22. Dick Fitzgerald sparkled in and out Of the key and registered 10 points, high for the day. Bob Winters and Paul Harris also led a sharp offense. The Parrots fought hard but were submerged in the final quarter, 28-26, by the undefeated Washing- ton Eaglets. Dick Fitzgerald was again leading the Mechanics with 7 vital markers. Paul Harris and LOLiie Hilbert played strong for the losers. The Parakeets lost a few more feathers by losing to the Lion Cubs of Galileo by a startling score, 37-29. Fitzgerald was high for the Red and Black by scoring 11 points.

Once more, Coach Gordon Carl- son tutored the Parakeets. The team was led by All-City Tom Kemp, the team's leading scorer and Guard Ernie Jeong. On the starting quintet were Bob Stevens and Nick Camera at forwards; Kemp at center; and Don Broll 21nd Jeongjy at the guard spots.

They won six league games while losing three and out- scored their foes 232 points to 198. Coach Carlson also served in this capacity for the 120's. Leading the team were Center Stan Blanshei, and Guards Norm Hay and Dennis Little. This trio led the Parrakeet scoring attack with Blanshei high. Com- pleting the first five were scrappy Frank Addiego and Don Gullikson at the forwards. The squad was filled Out by james Cranshaw, Bob Donahoe. Ronald Parks, Fred Quinn, Al McGuirk, Al Pleveney, John Leroux, Phil Malnick, Paul March, and Jack Witters. The small feathermen then slashed the tender Lowell Injuns, 18-11. Stan Blanshei was high, scor- ing 7 digits. Other leaders were Norman Hay, with 6, and Dennis Little, totaling 5 points. Polytechnic won another close tilt, 21-20, over Lin- coln. Don Gullickson was top heavy by scoring 10 COunters. Dennis Little led the 12015 in a tight fight with the Washington quintet. Little hit 12 points as the Parrots were vanquished, 23-22. The red and black lightweights then dumped Galileo, 29-19. Frank Addiego scored 6 buckets for the victors. Sacred Heart overcame OLII' cagers, 26-24, in a hard-fOught contest. The Parrots were next stiHed, 16-13, by a tough Mission Cut . Poly then whipped Saint Ignatius, 34-18, with Gul- lickson and Norman Hay hitting 9 apiece. Balboa was the next victim of the Red and Black onslaught, being defeated 39-32. Coach Carlson's boys toyed with Commerce in a 30-25 decision to end a very successful season. PAGE FIFTY-THR Eli L.

After suffering an early-season setback at the hands of the Palo Alto High Harriers, Poly's cross-country track team was invincible as it streaked to the Triple A championship. Edging second place Washington, 36-38, the Par- rots were able to bring about the downfall of the Lowell track dynasty. For several seasons the rivals from Hayes Street had been unbeatable and swept thr0ugh the field by sheer weight of numbers. This title was Poly's first in recent years in the rugged test of stamina which is constantly gaining in popularity and size. Under the newly installed rules by which each school may enter only five runners, it was a race of skill and endurance; not merely an easy trophy for the school with the largest turnOut. The City Meet was held at the old stadium in Golden Gate Park on the afternoon of November 22 before more fans than had watched a cross-COuntry meet in some years. In a thrilling finish, Louis Butler edged out favored Ron Bauer of Washington to cap- ture second place. Not far behind Butler came Warren Fairbanks, Bill Rodarte, Ronald Gerughty, and Art Thanash, who finished fifth, sixth, tenth and thirteenth respectively. Under the coaching of Coach Edgar Williams, many foresee several more good years yet to come for the Red and Black in the cross-COuntry meet. No small amount of credit is due to the other boys on the team, several of whom will be back next season. AmOng these are Dick Bruggisier, Bill Knuth, Rene Regalot, Stan Burrows, Tom Reid, and Sam Butler. Their season falling at a bad time of the year, right in the middle of football season, the Harriers are naturally robbed of their rightful glory. But these boys deserve their share, for while not in the limelight, they are showing the rest of the A.A.A. schools and fol- lowers, that though mainly a football school, Poly- technic can more than hold its own in any phase of athletics. The JOurnal staff wishes to voice its appreci- ation to these hitherto unheralded athletes for their fine showing. PAGE FIFTY-FIVE PARROT TRACKMEN Varsity Greatly hampered by the loss of veterans, the Poly- technic track varsity was able, with a maximum effort, to hold its own against its many strong foes. The team fought hard in every meet; when the chips were down, the boys came through with performances that were really tough to beat. Al Abella, undefeated in the 100-yd. dash this season, was a big loss to the Parrot varsity because of a league technicality. All-city pole vault champ last year, he could also be counted on for points or a win in the vault and 220-yd. dash. Jim Sampson, a late recruit for the team, was a real winner with firsts in the high jump and broad jump and just points behind Abella in the 100. Another high point man was Bob Nicola with firsts or seconds in the 220 and 440 yd. dashes and the broad jump. The Butler brothers, Louis in the mile, and Sam in the pole vault, were among the best in the city in their respective events. The varsity fielded a well rounded team with Bill Crader and Dennis O'Malley in the 880-yd. run Frank Petuya and Thatcher Nance high jumping, i TRACK VA $TY Top mu N Thatcher, J Wolterbeek D.

Winners in the all-eity meet were joe Escobar with a sparkling 14.8 in the low hurdles and Bob Prutch with 5:9 in the high jump. Other top performers were Stan Ozakit a very Close second in the City meet broad jump, Bill Keener in the lOO-yd. dash, Jim Blankenship, 440-yd. dashman, and Bill Rodarte, a fast man in the 880's. Speedy Don Quan, 120,5 220-yd. champ last year, re- mained a top performer for the 1303 as he moved up. Although inexperienced, the 1205 show real prom- ise for next year.

Hard Fighting Parrots Cop With the dawn of spring and an even break in practice tilts under their belts, the Poly baseball nine opened the official A.A.A. season by th0r0ughly trouncing an unexperienced Lowell varsity. After a parade of base hits, walks, and costly errors, a true conglomeration of wild baseball supported by Lowell, PAGE HFTY-FIGHT the Poly batsmen went on to thrash and mistreat their arch-rivals from the Panhandle t0 the tune of a melodic 13 to 5 score. Of more importance were the pre-game ceremonies in which Assistant Superintend- ent of Schools Brady right-handed a submarine fast ball directly into the on-waiting bat of C. A. Ander- son. Mr. Anderson promptly obliged by lining a fierce drive back to hurler Brady, who handled it well. Back to baseball, the Parrot aggregation initiated the pea-green season with the f0110wing lineup: Behind the lumber hulked big Art Jepson, 203- pound Hy swatter; defying enemy batsmen was Frank Addiego, while the initial sack was patrolled by Har- lan Miller, also a hurler on specific days; at the key- stone sack Tom Murray, vagabond, wandered in search of ill-bOuncing horsehides; LOu Hilbert short-patched and Jim Jenner handled the hot corner to round Out the Technic infield; Bob Pomeroy and Homer Coreris shared right field, while speedy Bob Stewart guarded center with Bob jackson in reserve; in the left pasture Jim Sampson shedded his toe plate for a days duty gardening. Unfortunately. the Parrots were washed out for their second enCOunter with Galileo. Upper left: Jim Jenner lining the horsehide into left-Center field.

Second in AAA Playoffs The Parrots promptly shed rain drops only to come back the next Tuesday and absorb tear drops from Mission, long king of the preps. Mission swiftly as- sumed a three-run lead and thereafter was as swiftly handcuffed by fastballer Jim Sampson. Poly loaded the sacks in the fifth, but failed to score as MissiOn went on to conquer, 3 to 0, in a well played contest. In the next game against Lincoln the Parrot base- ballers proved an oft-voiced diamond adage: N0 game is over until the last Out. Behind, 8 t0 2, in the second frame, the determined Parrots came back to score five in the fifth, another digit in the sixth to tie it up, and the game clincher with two down in the last of the seventh. The Mechanics broke even in their next six regular season games, winning from Washington, Balboa, and Galileo; while losing to Commerce, Sacred Heart, and Saint Ignatius. A re-play of a tie game between Gal- ileo and Commerce reSulted in Poly's acquisition of a shared spot for fourth spot in the semi-fmals. Gal- ileo, with nothing to gain by winningesave a few paper clippingsedowned Commerce and threw the Parrots into a fourth place deadlock with the Bull- dogs. Avenging a regular season 1055 at the hands of Commerce, Poly easily beat the Bulldogs, 7-5, in a playoff for the playoffs. The Mechanics were in! Poly drew S. I. for the semi-fmals and went on to shut Out the Cats twice in three games for a crack at the finals and City championship. Sacred Heart dumped mighty Mission to gain the other spot in the city finals.

There is a slight trend of interest toward the rich manis pastime made famous by such wonders of the links as Ben Hogan, Walt Hagen, By Nelson, and the greatest of them all, Bobby Jones. Poly boys have put up a terrific struggle against overwhelming odds. Bill Kiley and Don Gulikson, first and second men, were the only returning vets from last years club. Larry Woodyard and Norm Hay twhose picture does not appear abovey are next fol- lowed by Harry Paul, Bob MacDonald, Jim Laws, Granville-Thomas, John Reed, and Bob Patterson. The point system in golf is slightly difficult to understand. Since there are only nine active members in the team, the individual gets one point and together with his partner, they collect one digit. It is a small club now, but many more young prospects are traveling Out to the courses to receive instruction from Coach Corydon TENNIS After a three year absence as an active league sport at Poly, tennis again made an appearance on Poly's athletic agenda in the Spring of this year. Coach Leon Shaff, in his flrst tackle at coaching a sport, produced a hustling but green club that held its own with most of the other schools in the A.A.A. The mainstays of the team and the Parrots, big hopes in the All-City tilts were Ron Azarcon, the number one singles man, and the effective doubles team of Bob Remsing and Tom Rundle. Also in the Club were singles players Granville Thomas, Dennis Louie, Bert Rose, Ron Perry; and Bud Summers and Dick Moore, doubles. The Parrot netsters started off the league schedule by losing a hard fought game to Lincoln. Next, with a games experience under their belts, Coach Shaffis boys tucked away a neat, although close, triumph over Balboa. The following week they slapped down a weak Sacred Heart club. They maintained this pace for the greater part of the season. Tennis BOYS' TENNIS CLUB Top: Mr. 1.. ShaH, P. Kmis, S. Camera, B. Remsing, R. Azarcon, D. Moore, P. La Dow, B. Hoover. Middle: j.

Girls' Block HP The Girls' Block PPP Society started in Fall Term with an initiation held in the Girls' Gym during seventh period. Each girl performed a short stunt in order to be sworn in as 21 Block HP member. Twenty- five girls were initiated, bringing the total member- ship to thirty-two. The Society was well organized and order was main- t.iined :it the weekly meetings on Tuesday morning. The first duty for the girls to perform was cafe duty. Erich girl took her turn in cooperating to make the rate clean and orderly. Our first social function was V'Pigskin Pageant, the first dance of the term. On Saturday, October 15, over 400 persons crossed the gym to celebrate Polyis victory over Lowell. The dance was different from my before held at Poly. The gym was transformed into :1 football field for the evening and everything went off in football fashion. Entertainment during half time was one of the novel features of this dance. In November, the girls went to see the musical pro- duction, 'iInside U. S. A. A good time was enjoyed by 2111 who attended. In January, the girls and boys cooperated on an end-of-the-term social. We all went to the Fairmont Hotel for dinner-dancing. This renewed :1 custom of several years ago, and was received enthusiastically by both societies. In addition to the social functions of the club. variOLis members served the school by ushering the teas, P.T.A. affairs, and being on duty whenever needed. Many thanks and much appreciation is given by the girls to Mrs. Joan Alvarado, who is Our sponsor, friend, and adviser. At the time this gOes to press, the Spring program for the Block P has not been fully established but plans ineltide a hike through Muir Woods, and some type of social affair.

Boys' Block HP The total membership of the Boys' Block HP in the Spring Term was 90 boys, all of these Poly athletes had to attain the total of 25 credits to receive the honor of wearing the Block 'P of Polytechnic High School. During the Fall Term, the boys elected the officers of their club. Paul Matelli took over the office of pres- ident, while Bill Lewis was vice president; Tony Ca- velio, secretary; Bill Schick, treasurer; Art Jepson, sgt.- at-arms; and Herb Brueckner, student body representa- tive. All did their part in making their term a success- ful one. The Fall Term Block HP gave such well-re- membered activities as the i'Pigskin Pageant, a vic- tory dance for the Lowell-Poly football game, given with the Block i'P girls. Enough tickets were sold at the dance for the two Block PH clubs and their friends to have a dinner-dance at the Tonga Room in the Fair- mont Hotel. The traditional Block i'P award rally was also held. One of the big affairs of the Spring term was the long-remembered Block iiP day and Block HP rally. planned and given by both clubs on May 31. rWA , 3 BOYS' BLOCK P'V-r-II Top mu': B. Nicola, B.

Polytechnic Members Of the California Scholarship Federation's Polytechnic chapter are proud to point Out that this organization ranks among the leading school clubs. Its membership is composed of students with high scholastic ratings. Most of these students are recognized school leaders and are active in other student body organizations. Qualiflcation for membership is determined on 21 point basis. A fmal report card grade of A counts three points, and a final grade of ttB is counted as one point. A minimum of ten points is necessary for ad- mittance to the Club. Extra points may be gained by service to the school. Some projects undertaken are work in the cafeteria, work before and after school in the library, and participation in orchestral activities. PAGE SEVENTY LSF LIFE MEMBERS 'luw mu ,' G. Pickcl, Ci.

This is considered a great honor, and it is a status which very few students attain. Under the direction of Miss Ruth Franklin, sponsor, and Jerry Greenbaum, president, the club performed its usual service in the Fall Term. The traditional fresh- man reception was held, and a later event was a tea given for the new girls. These activities were successful in making all the new students feel that they were really at home in Polytechnic. The reception and the tea were held again in the Spring Term. President George Parks guided the Club in additional activities. A coaching system for students was continued from the preceding semester. Members of the Federa- tion assisted at the semi-annual open house festivi- ties, and were always present when their assistance was needed for any reason. CSFeI Top raw: R. XVard. M. Powell, A.

An extra curricular activity of the newswriting class this term was taking short trips to other schools in order to interview prominent personalities and also to sell papers before our major football games. Then with the beginning of the Spring Term, Jean Norman took over the leadership of the Polytechnic Parrot. With new reporters and new ideas, the Par- rot staff went on to another successful term. This term Janet Dawson became second page editor and Norman Hay took over the sports page. The important position of ad manager was filled by Carol Menhennent, who took care of the ads which are a necessary feature in our newspaper. Six editions of the Parrot were put forth for the en- joyment of the students. The Spring razz edition came out the day before April Fool's Day, and was a brilliant daffodil yellow. Extra attractions of this issue were its increased number of pages and greater number of pic- tures. The last paper of the term was the all-important senior edition with its class wills and prophesies; an- other souvenir of their T'High 'ni Mightyii days at Poly- technic.

All those who were present in the Polytechnic auditorium 0n the nights of January 12 and 13 will be certain to remember the traditional term play which was so successfully presented by the Polytechnic Drama Class of 1949. The play, Seven Keys to Bald- pate, written by the famous George M. Cohan, was a delightful comedy woven with the threads of mys- tery, excitement, and suspense. Each member of the cast brilliantly shone in his role, and every character was well portrayed. Members of the cast included Jerry Emanuel, George Sparling, Carol Combs, Carmen Grant. George Pickel, Ian Dobson, Bob Nicola, Gwen Nordwall, Barba Templin, Shirley Gross, Frank Olson, Blue Hawks, Beverly Wade, Dennis O,Malley, Vince Hurtado, Herbert Brueckner, Roscoe Sellers, Rudy Knudsen, Dennis Hull, Ted Weiss, and Bill Hoover. The credit of producing and directing belongs to PAGE EIGHTY-EIGHT Mr. Roland Morrison who always makes each play a performance which may long:7 linger in Our high school memories. Mr. Morrisori claims that the stage crew deserves much praise due to their efforts in setting the stage so realistically for the play. HSeven Keys to Baldpate was immensely enjoyed as shown by the enthusiastic applause of the appre- . ciative audience. The cast is to be highly commended for its fine acting which put over their unusual type of comedy play. Lightning has struck again! No, not a tree, but Polytechnic's auditorium. A repeat performance of this rollicking comedy which was such a success when given by Mr. Morrisonis drama Club five years ago, was put on May 25 and 26. After the drama club had read several plays, this one was chosen by unanimous consent. Frank Olsen played the amusing part of liLightning Bill Jones, a lovable old man who is always getting intoxicated, unless his wife would catch him. Mrs. Jones was played by Carol Combs and Bethel Banderob. Others in the cast were Dennis OlMalley, as the dig- nihed Judge Townsend; Beverly Tobiason and Pat 'llmru: The Villain. vaerhc cast that brought us Lightnin'. BcIou': Two-way stretch. Harper, shared the spotlight as Margaret Davis, a giddy divorcee; Gwen Nordwall, as Miebie; Ian Dobson, as John; and Bob Nicola, as Mr. Thomas. Also in the cast were Bob Korte, Bev Thomas, Harry Dokouzian, Ruth Behringer, Carole Mieske, Bob McDonald, Ronald Ferguson, Art Thanash, Audrey Reed, and Geraldine Hayes. The romance was provided by John and Miebie, Judge Townsend and Margaret, who like most lovers, had their troubles, caused mostly by Mr. Thomas, a crooked lawyer. When John proved that Mr. Thomas was a crook, everything turned out all right. The hard job of directing was done superbly by Bev XVade and her assistant, George Pickle. Giving cues for lighting as well as lines is very difficult and both prompters did a swell job. On both nights the play was a sellout, and a huge success.

PAGE ONE HUNDRED THREE Varsity Basketball fCrmIimud from Page 49! Despite the loss of Goehner and Hilsen, the Parrots fought gamely in one of the best hardwood battles against St. Ignatius. Maisels was high with 14 points, as the Red and Black lost this tilt to the Wildcats, 40-36. Paul Matelli pushed through ten markers. The Parrots then downed 1949 champs and arch- rival, Lowell, 28-25. Marshall Maisels led the Me- chanics with 10 digits. Bob Korte tanked 9 for the victors. Needing the final game to enter the playoffs, Gene Goehner returned from sick bay to help an underdog Parrot tackle the Mission Bear. This exciting game found a crowded Kezar Pavilion watching the Mission five edge the Parrots, 32-31. Gene Goehner displayed needed COurage as he tied the score up twice. The first time knotting the fray to enter overtime and again tying it up to enter overtime number two. Gene scored 13 markers while Maisels hit 10 for Polytechnic. ifr'fz'ik 130's Basketball fCrmtimwa' from Page 5U Polytechnic came back hard to hand a determined Mustang Colt a 40-35 defeat. Paul Harris, with 11 points, and Hilbert and Winters, with 10 digits apiece, shined bright for the victors. The St. Ignatius Kittens were also toppled by the speedy Parrot five, 29-27. LOuie Hilbert showed pos- sible all-city form in acc0unting for 10 of the Para- keets' points. Tony Winters and Dick Fitzgerald also played excellent basketball. The traditional rival, Lowell won another Closie, 34-28. Hilbert was high for the Mechanics with 7 points. Poly then Climaxed another season by overwhelming the Mission Bear Cubs, 34-27. Louie Hilbert walked away with high scoring honors of 14 markers. Fitz- gerald and Harris scored 8 apiece. PAGE ONE HL'NDRED FOL'R Varsity Baseball tszlimmd from Page 592 son on the rubber. The day was cold and gray and the shivering Poly nine resembled the weather in every respect, committing five errors aheld as well as mental lapses on the base paths in dropping a S to 1 verdict t0 the Irish. One game down, the Parrots then relied all their last hopes on Jim Sampson to hurl them to a third game and crack at the title. Jim pitched well but was jumped on for 2 runs in each of the first two innings. Addiego and Miller followed on the mound; in the meanwhile the Irish assumed an 11-run lead. But then4Booml! The Parrots rallied 7 runs in the fifth and 5 in the sixth to command a 12-11 lead. But as fast as you could say Clancy lowered the boom the fighting Irish came back with a brace of plate denters in the home half of the seventh and sewed up the game and City championship, 13-12.
