OFFICERS 51'??? 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.

Fall1949 C LAS S The Senior Class of Fall, 19-49, under the capable guidance of President Rudy Knudsen and Vice Presi- dent Barbara XVhitmore, demonstrated their high spirits throughout the term by their constant support of school activities, class socials, and sports events. 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.
