177 . V We, the Polytechnic Journal stallc of 1951 and 1952, would like to dedicate this yearbook to the many boys of this class who have left Poly inO defense of their country. ,2 d? 3 We remember them in our freshman year, with their young faces and boyish tricks; our sophomore .p year when they first began to notice the girls; our junior year when the fellows used razors for the first time; and then they were gone. Somewhere at some time during the past year they left us; not because they had to, and not because they wanted to, but they believed in their country and in the principles on which it was founded. They gave up their long-awaited senior year at Poly, and many of them will go on to give up their lives. God bless them, and watch over them wherever they may be. wx:;- ug- '5. Vii 2 17'.

o ytechnic Administration Principal Congratulates Seniors: To the Seniors: As you leave Polytechnic upon graduating, do you feel that you are entering a chaotic and confused world? Look beneath the surface and you will find that it isn't as bad as y0u think. ' There are still many, many people of integrity, high moral purpose and indomitable COurage who will do all within their power to make this world a better place in which to live. There are many opportunities for young people these days, and some of the jobs and positions are a product of our age. They did not exist a generation ago. The world in which you live is a different: world. It has become smaller; the airplane has caused dis- tances to shrink, and we ,have a new set of world neighbors. Your point of view will of necessity be a global one. In all of this, our country occupies a central position. Our hrst concern will be the welfare of our country. Many problems confront our country, and you young people will be called upon to help solve them. Last but not least, we must stand ready to defend our country against its enemies. This we must do if our country is not eventually to pass into oblivion. My best wishes for you success and happiness, and may you not grow weary in carrying all of these re- sponsibilities in the years that lie ahead. Sincerely, CARL A. ANDERSON, Principal Principal Carl A. Anderson discusses a problem with Secretaries Mrs. Dorothy Andregg and Mrs. Julie Waters. Also helping is oHice helper Beverly Chiado. PAGE FOUR
