It finds the natural smile, the Characteristic pose, the informal posture, and records the everyday informality of school life. The candid shot reveals the student in his favorite haunts, discloses his typical antics. and gioups him with his Classroom friends. In reviewing the contents of the 1953 Journal in future years, per- haps it will be on the snapshot pages that the former Polyite will look to End his friends, and perhaps there he will with sudden recognition find the face that will recall vividly the life of the school and the spirit of Poly. It is the hope of the Journal staff that each graduate will find some- thing warm and appealing where the candid camera eye has been . focused. May it also provide a source of great interest and entertain- ment for those students who, while still in school, wish to know their fellow students better. As the camera is turned toward Polyites at play we see the broad and varied interests of the students. Polytechnic ath- letes have learned to play well, to lose gracefully if they are bested, to win fairly-which happens with amazing frequency. Captured, too, in the lens is another side of Poly: the students at work in the class- room. The graduate, in future years, will look back upon his days here and remember that all was not merely fun, but that he worked to pre- pare for a career. In Poly there is a blend of industry and relaxation which the graduate may always associate with his school. A picture story of Poly contains views of the athletic field, the Class- room, the physical education Classes, the dances, the parties which are all so much a part of the lives of the teen-agers today. The camera has been focused on Polytechnic 1953; we know you will be satisfied with the picture. 1,111.1 . . AA '1': 'r : h;? 114! . Ill..- 53' g, ? : ,.

JOAN ALVARADO XVt. lhc Polytcyhnic journal Stall. would like to dedicate this the 19:33 yearbook to Mrs. jozm Alvarado of the Girls' Physical Education Department. Mrs. Alvarado has helped and befriended each and every one of the girls at Poly Ill one lime or another during her years here. She has helped us seek the solution to the many problems confronting us in our academic 215 well :15 our athletic school work. linch of us has come to think of Mrs. Alx'zumlo :15 21 personal and zspccial friend. ch invariably go to her for advice. and just us invariably arc given good. sound counsel which hzm aided us in more than 011C instance. H'r doubt that Mrs. Alvarado realizes how much wc appreciate her llricmllinch and what her chccry smile mczms to us whcn wc'rc l'ccling cspccizlllx' low: but we sim'cn-ly hope that this journal will express our thanks and appreciation to hcr. Thanks again.

I hope it has been a satisfying year, a fitting ending to twelve years spent in school. As you leave high school soon to take your Blaces in the adult world, I hope you will look upon the high school as one of the keystones of our republic. You can help make it a Vital part of the American way of life. A free public high school, open to all, is not to be found in all countries of the world. But we are glad that it is a part of. the American heritage; in fact, we believe that our democratic way of life would soon disappear if it were not possible for all Citizens to secure a good education. Let us remember the words of Thomas Jefferson: bl know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves: and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. rlwherefore we ask you to cherish this great ideal of free education for all. It is vitally important to the welfare of our country. IVe hope you. will aid and defend it as thousands before you have done. ' In conclusion may I extend to all of you my best wishes for your future happi- ness and success in all your endeavors. Sincerely, CARL A.

Under his leadership the student government of Polytechnic ran smoothly for another successful term. This redaheaded gO-getter worked all term for his school. Reds, rallies were really great and his new ideas for selling tickets to the games were the best yet. Mle can truly say that Gordon upheld all the standards that go with being Stu- dent Body President. IoAnne Harper took over the reins as Vice- rlYesident, planning and presenting the social activities of the term. JoAnne and her dance com- mittee put over a very successful Student Body Dance, llThe Be-Bop Hoe-Downfl Treasurer, Toy San Yee, aided by her able assistant, Verna Pearson, kept a Close guard on all the money we spent on tickets to school ac- twltles. Frank Montabana, Athletic Manager, took charge of ticket sales and sports events. Frank saw to it that there was good attendance at all ames. Bob Donohoe, Custodian, had the trophies glistening and the halls full of signs and an- nouncements. Joyce Beverforden, speaker of Congress, was kept busy with her duties concerning Congress. For the third time in the History of Polytech- nic there was a girl Student Court Judge, Dorothy Pudoff. Dot could be seen every Wednesday morn- ing trying the accused. These unfortunate stu- dents were often seen at lunch time shining tro- phies and keeping the school well cleaned. Don Bishoif, our capable yell leader, kept Polyls spirits rolling during our basketball season. Mr. Kinney, capable Student Body advisor, picked us up when we were down and knocked us down when we got too high. He will always have a place in our memories of Spring 1953.

Each registry, or homeroom, is represented by on congressman. If anyone has an idea or problem he would like discussed, he tells his congressman, who in turn presents it to Congress which meets every other Monday. Then on Tuesday morning during registry, each congressman gives his re- port where the problems are again discussed, and if any new views are brought out, it is carried back to the next Congress meeting. Here all the different views on the subject are talked over, debated, and finally voted upon after serious to isideration by all. Actually this is a litheck and balance system based on the one in Washingto 1, D. C., except on a smaller scale. Congress is one of the most important f only way in which everyone can help to r CLASS COLLECTOR our football ticket? or llDoes anyone have money for their hat are daily asked in registry. Whols the person asking? ltls Do you have your money for y ournal? These are the questions t the class collector who plays an important part here at school. The duties of the class collector lie mostly with the affairs of money. He collects all the money for football and basketball games. His most important job is to collect money for each studenfs own personal journal, and to keep an accurate a:count of journal sales in his registry. Besides dealing with money, he picks up the Parrots for each reg. He also helps the regis- trar distribute papers of. importance to the stu 'ents in registry. Back Row: 0. Bviones, F. Montabana, J.

STUDENT COURT Students who Violate the rules of conduct in the halls and in the inner court are brought before the judicial branch of the student gov- ernment. Lower classmen found sitting on the Senior Bench, those caught lending their stu- dent body cards and other violators are brought before the bar of justice every Tues- day morning to plead innocent or guilty. Dorothy Pudoff, court judge, sentenced those offenders pleading guilty, and the jury made up of class officers decided the fate of those claiming themselves innocent of crimes charged against them this Spring.

The Service Society is composed of members who have earned at least 30 service points by taking on responsible positions of student leadership. The points are earned through the holding of such jobs as Class officers, class collectors, and congressmen. Dean of Boys, Mr. Hungerford, is the ad- visor to the group. x s g way 2? fr Jidezwl VJ, 4,, 1952 JOHN EMERSON BOOHER DONALD GEORGE BROLL DON BROWN GORDON K. BURTON CHARLES PAUL CAMILLERI WILLIAM M.

As bewildered freshmen, we sponsored our first dance, the Fresh- man Hop, and were pleased with its success. Gaining confidence in our sophomore year, we participated more fully in school affairs and became better acquainted with our teachers. Although at times it appeared unattainable, we finally reached the status of upper a ' Classmen. We celebrated this distinction with our Junior Prom, a joyous occasion at ' , the Mark Hopkins Hotel. We also remember Polyis dominance of the Cityis football RAYMOND WONG TSUYOSHI YAMAMOTO ELEANOR YEE MARY ANN YEE RUBY YEE TOY SAN YEE GORDON YOUNG WAYLAND LEE league during our years in school, as well as the fine performances given by our basketball, track, and soccer teams.

PULYS THIRD UNDEFEATED SEASON SEMI-FINALS-Poly vs, BalboaePoly received its only real scare of the season as it met a determined, fired-up, and rugged Balboa eleven who looked like anything but the patsies Poly pasted early in the season 44-13. Poly had its worst afternoon of the season but, that certain something that always happens when things begin to look black, pre- vailed and Hared up in the face of the championshipehungry Bucks! They pulled the game out of the fire as they intercepted a pass, and scored on a brilliant run by Art Forbes in the closing two minutes, to set-up the winning score. The whole show for the Parrots was the defensive until they refused to allow the Bucks to score the touchdown which could have broken Polyis record when they moved deep in Poly territory. Their win coupled with Lincohfs win over Galileo made the team the finalists for the Champion- ship playoff. CHAMPIONSHIP-Poly vs. Lincolnelnstead of upsetting the Parrots for the title they so desperately wanted, Lincoln came wearily off the field asking what kind of devas- tating machine had hit them. Although they had played their hearts out, Poly put on such a dynamic display of brute power that veteran observers left the stadium saying it was the greatest single display of offensive destruction they had ever seen. The final score was 54-7. To try and single out one outstanding performer would be impossible, for everyone that got into the game looked like All-City material. Even the Junior Var- sity boys put on an impressive showing. If there was any question as to the greatness of the team, this game erased that without any possible doubt. w-puq-m v. r Ewe .. A w a Poly vs, GalileoaPoly made a mockery of the game that was supposedly to be the crucial game of the year. Galileo reputedly had the best defensive line in the league. However, after the Parrots first series of offensive plays it was obvious that Poly was going to have an easy time with the slowly deteriorating Lions. And only Poly's splendid showing of mercy in the closing minutes enabled Galileo to make a contest of the game and close the gap to 34-18. The outstanding performance of the day was by Jim Poppin, who played his usual brilliant game. Poly vs. Lincoln-Poly showed the first inclination to its potential strength when it put on a blistering display as they smothered the Mustangs 47-20. Frank HallTs sharp pass- ing accounted for a large amount of the scoring. Gordon Young ripped countless long runs and showed everyone in the stadium he was destined for great feats. Other boys who showed well for the red and black were Craig and Don Brown, whose expert pass snagging provided :1 great deal of thrills, Gerald James and Nick Poppin played a bang- up game opening up gaping holes and Charlie McMurray, Sam Fukuda, Art Forbes, and Stan McCarthy ran roughshod. Poly vs. LowellePoly defeated their much-hated rival Lowell for the ninth straight time 33-21, but not without a valiant struggle on the part of the underdog Indians, who played for the first time in many years as if they were not defeated before the game started. As usual it was Frank HallTs pin-point passing and faking artistry which proved too much class for the battling Indians to cope with. The Poly defensive line was espe- cially sharp smearing Lowells running plays. Gordon Young was perfectly effective on Poly,s bread and butter play, the screen play, and used it to pile up most of his yardage. Poly vs. MissionePoly faced a stern and determined Mission eleven who held the vaunted Parrots to a standstill for a quarter, but then wilted before the heavy guns of the Parrots point-a-minute brigade, by the score of 33-7. The team met a Mission team that had lost 16 straight years to Poly. The game featured the sharp running of Gordon Young and Art Forbes and the bruising line play of Frank Montabana, Ralph Tisch- bern, and Don Brown. It was PolyTs last regular seasonal game and capped off a brilliant seasons play. Frank HalleQ. BreFrank, who stands 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs in at l68 pounds, was a brilliant quar- terback beyond description. Quarterbacks will come and go but his passing exploits, ice water coolness, bewilder- ing ball-handling will never be forgotten. He was the spark-plug and keycog which made the Poly backfield the best ever. Frank made the back of year and first-string AlleNorthern After gradua- tion, Frank intends to go to Stanford University where great things can be expected of him. Ralph TischberneL. G.e Ralph, who stands 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighs 168 pounds, was a boy who re- ceived little publicity all year but yet was a tough and sturdy linesman who always played a creditable game and helped defend a lot of huge holes. Gordon Young - F. B. - Gordon, along with Frank Hall formed the greatest, most devastating and versa- tile one-two punch that the league has ever had. Al- though he stood only 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighed 153 pounds, Gordon vaulted from obscurity to one of the best kn0wn backs in the league history. His greatest single feat of the season was in breaking the scoring rec- ord of the never-to-be-for- gotten Ollie Matson who re- cently made all-pro. But this feat cannot overshadow his magnificent efforts as a bril- liant runner and as a deadly pass defender. Gordon will not be replaced next year- that is for sure. After gradue ation he intends to go to Stanford University. Gerald JameseL. T. d weighs 226 pounds, stands 5 feet ll inches. The biggest and toughest part of the Poly line was gigantic Gerald James. He was a rugged per- former on running plays and was the best linesman in the league when it came to rush- ing kicks. Gerald was picked almost unanimously for All- City honors. His bulk, ex- periencel and class will be hard to replace next season. Don Brownestands 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs l7O pounds. Don was a rugged, fast and aggressive end, who with his fine pass catching and efficient and smashing defensive work earned him- sehc a unanimous second string AIl-City berth and several first string picks. He made some of the best catches seen all year. After graduation Don intends to further his education at San Jose State in the tall. Frank Montabanaeweighs in at l84 pounds and stands 5 feet 10 inches tall. Frank was a big, aggressive, and bruising blocker who paved the way for so many of the breath-taking runs that Poly performed all year. Frank was one of the hardest work- ing and most improved play- ers on the Poly squad. He intends to further his educa- tion at the University of Ore- gon at Eugene. Craig Browneweighs I70 pounds, stands 5 feet 9 inches tall. Craig, the other half of the Brown combina- tion was a durable perform- er. He always played a con- sistent brand of ball, espe- cially on offensive, where his pass catching earned him several first string votes this year. He received unanimous second string AII-City ac- claim. After he graduates he intends to go to a college of his choosing. Tom Kempeweighs 166 pounds and stands 5 feet 10 inches tall. Tom accom- plished a tremendously tough feat when he not only filled the shoes of Warrin Fannin, but vaulted himself into the spotlight as the best center in the league. He was the most spirited boy on the squad and really put every- thing he had into every play. He made AH-City and in- tends to go to Stanford after graduation. Nick Poppin e stands 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 185 pounds. Nick was chosen captain of the team and certainly fulfilled the confidence placed in him by not only being the best linesman of the team but the finest guard in the league. He made All-City and was chosen on the 3rd string All-Northern Califor- nia football team. After grad- uation he hopes to become a forester. m, X5 Tom Ozakie-R. HeTom was the workhorse of the Poly eleven this season. He weighed in at 158 pounds and stands 5 feet 7 inches tall and was a fast, elusive, and hard plugging back who received little acclaim but did a bang-up job in run- ning and carrying out his blocking assignments. He is characteristic of Poly's pony backfields. Art Forbes who stands 5 feet 9 inches and weighs 180 pounds is a high junior who was a tremendous surprise at both halfback and fullback positions and proved to be one of the biggest and hard- est driving backs in the league at the end of the season. He will certainly be an All-City candidate next year. Charlie McMurray stands 5 feet 8 inches tall, 159 pounds. Charlie excelled him- self this year with fine open field running and tremendous bursts of speed when break- ing through a hole into the secondary. He worked hard and tirelessly to rank among the first six or seven half- backs in the league. Varsity Basketball Back row: Coach Gordon Carlson, A. Forbes, G. Campbell, L. Barros, l. Harvey.

Poly vs. S.I.-An inexperienced Poly five lost a hard-fought battle to Saint Ignatius by the re- spectable score of 35-25. High point getters for us were Bob Donohoe with 7 points, followed closely by Reggie Jones and Gary Gillmor with 6 points. Poly vs. S. PLePoly played its best offensive game of the season as they smothered the Irish 56-46. High scorers for the Parrots were Maurice Jones and Gary Gillmor with 15. Reggie Jones followed with 13. Poly vs. Balboa-Although the play was somewhat ragged, the Parrots came through at oppor- tune times to win a closely contested battle 41-36. Rece Jones was the key factor pouring in 16 digits. Poly vs. Mission-Steady shooting and tremendous backboard work paved the way for Poly to easily defeat a good Mission five 36-27. High scorers were Gary Gillmor, Reggie Jones and Joe Hagler. Poly vs. GalileOePoly easily outclassed a weak Galileo five 41-31. High scorers were, as usual, Gary Gillmor, Reggie Jones, and Maurice Jones. Poly vs. Lowelleln the battle of the year Lowell's classy one-two punch, Clarence Grider and Mike Leaskou, proved too much for the hustling Parrot five, winning an interesting contest 50-42. Gary Gillmor stood out for the Parrots, racking up 17 points. Poly vs. Lincoln-P01y1s sharp shooting Parrots playedsa brilliant game as they defeated Lincoln, 57-46. It was their highest point output for the year. Key figures were Gary Gillmor and Maurice Jones who scored 20 and 15 points, respectively. Poly vs. Washington-Poly1s fine basketball f1VC were outplayed by a very good Washington team 51-37 in the last game of the season. Gary Gillmor was as usual Poly,s high point getter, being fol- lowed closely, however, by the Jones brothers. Poly vs. Lowell--Mike Leaskou's phenomenal shooting proved too much as Lowell overwhelmed the Parrots 57-32 to knock us out of the Hnals. He collected thirty points to approach Ken F10wer1s record of 36 points. High point getter was Reggie Jones with 12 points. High Seniors Bob Donohoe and Joe Hagler played a very fine game. STARS IN REVIEW Reggie Jones, ForwardeReggie is undoubtedly the finest rebounding ace to grace the! AAA. in many moons. He is an expert shot from anywhere around the keyhole. His poise and smoothness have developed amazingly since the seasons opening and he has sparked the Parrots to their recent Victories. He has not reached his potential yet, being only a high junior. Gary Gillmor, Guard-Poly's leading point getter and offensive player is Gary Gill- mor who, after a disastrous opening game, has averaged about 14 points a game since. His defensive work is improving with each encounter and he hustles continuously. He is a Cinch to make all city next year. Maurice Jones, ForwardeMaurice, who is Reggiels brother, is Polyls smoothest and best all around player. His shooting is consistent and effective. His backboard work is the best in the league considering his height. His passing is accurate and sharp and his poise dependable. The amazing fact about Maurice is that he is just a sophomore and is still in the developing stage. Joe Hagler, Center-Despite illness which cut short his basketball career in his soph- omore and junior years, Joe has come back gamely to develop into one of the steadiest centers in the league. Joe has been very good on the boards and has come through oc- casionally with Vital shots and has been very tough on defense. Bob Donohoe, GuardeThe team captain and quarterback of the Poly five is a de- C151ve factor in our amazing showing this year. He also is a great hustler and rebounder plus haVIng possession of a fine shot technique. Top Row: M. Axf, B. Donohoe, B. Taft, R. Lane, A. Mafson Middle Row: M. Johnson, E. Larsen, E. Burns, W. Rhodes, B. Andersen, P. Onsfad, T. Lagrave Bottom Row: F. Mifh, B. LeMire, R. Suhl, D. Jacobson, J. Chibidakis, R. Cox BASEBALL The starting of the baseball season brought to light many outstanding baseball players. There was no actual starting line-up as several of the players were rotated. Perhaps the most outstanding player of the team was Frank. Hall. He started the season by pitching a no hit, no run game against Washington. Hall alternates between catcher and pitcher. Dick Cox is Poly,s other starting pitcher. Cox beat Lowell after relieving Hall in the seventh inning. During the season two sophomores broke into the line-up. They were Blaire Le Mire and Richard Cutrafelli. Alternate catcher along with Hall was Ed Burns. He had a fine season with good hitting and catching. The infield was strongly fortified with Bill Taft at first, Ed Larsen on second, Blaire Le Mire on short and Jim Chipidakis on third. Outfielders for the team were Phil Sanchez in center, Al Matson in right and Bob Donahoe in left. Al Matson also did some mound work as a relief pitcher. Batter Up Poly,s play-off bound baseball team under the fine direction of M i1t Axt has been very successful thus far this season. The team opened the season in real baseball style winning a wild and woolly 12-10 Victory over Lincoln after Frank Hall, our usually dependable ace, had a loss of control and almost blew a 10-0 lead. However, Billy Cox came in to put out the fire and get credit for the win. Ed Larson, Bill Taft, and Frank Hall led the batting assault. Poly then turned back Washington 2-0 on a brilliant no hit no run game by Frank Hall. This was by far the best pitched game of the year. All good things must come to an end and this year was no exception as the Par- rots lost a dose 5-2 to Balboa, although Frank Hall only allowed two hits. Frank Hall and Billy Cox were the leading hitters. Poly then 10st to the great Sacred Heart baseball nine 9-1, as the sensational Ron Shirley allowed only three hits to register his third win. Bill Taft led our futile attempts. Poly then defeated their arch-rivals, Lowell, 8-5, but suffered the loss of Coach Milt Axt when he was struck by a foul ball which hospitalized him. The win brought them very near a play-off spot. A win over Galileo would assure them of this position. VARSITY TRACK Polytechnicls 1953 Spring track team brought out many star Cindermen and many candidates for All-City. The varsity speedsters had a new coach, Mr. Steve Ebert, who helped Poly's speed- sters place high on the list of great track men. Our first meet was with Galileo. The Parrots won by a score of 722A; to 40119,. Led by a fine start, the Parrots were all keyed up for their bitter rival, Lowell. The meet was nip and tuck all the way until the relay came and Lowellls Dick Bullock fought 01f Poly's Jim Blore in the anchor lap to give the Indians 21 5815 to 54M2 triumph. The Lincoln Mustangs were next on our list. Being shaded by Lowell the Poly track men were onethe come back trail and beat Lincoln 85 U5 to 27 4H5. Our next meet was with W'ashington and after a weelds vacation for Easter, we were defeated by the Eagles 761A; to 36173. Losing to Washington, the Parrots started to work harder and left Balboa in the dust by a score of 752195 to 371g. The meet with St. Ignatius was our linal meet be- fore the All-City. The Parrots again starred and trounced the Wildcats. Poly's dashmen, timber- stoppers, distance men and field men then got ready for the climax, the most important part of the track season, the All-City Meet.

Best performances were turned in by Gerald James, Melvyn Dowdell, Ralph Furnari, and Sam Fukuda. Poly then lost its first meet in a heartbreaking battle to a tine Lowell squad 58M; to 54V2. Mel Dowdell ran one of the best miles of the year, turning the distance in 4:429. Poly then ran into a mighty Washington which has run roughshod over all opposition, 76V2- 33y2. We bounced back beautifully smoothing a good Balboa team. The team then put on then finest show of the year as they easily whipped Lincolnts bustling track team 80V? to 32y2, featur- ing fine performances by Bill Canihan in the high hurdles, Ralph Furnari in the 880, Gerald James in the shot-put, Sam Fukuda and Rece Jones in the broadjump, and Dick Murphy in the high jump and pole vault. Poly went on its winning ways again by beating Mission 7815 to 34V2 as James Blore ran the 440 in 52:6 to equal his seasonts best. This put the team in undisputed third place in the league standings and gives Poly an excellent chance in the city meet. The Parrots hope to take flve firsts in the city meet. Ad. Wm...w--. :4 4.. 1305 and 130,5 TRACK Under the outstanding coaching of Coach Walter Lester, the Poly lightweight team has glided through the round robin with ease this season. Mr. Lester, former track coach of Commerce High School, has well contributed his services to Polytechnic. It is true that these are only lightweight and not main eventers, but most of these boys will be the varsity track stars of the future. Prospects already have been made for the All City Track Meet. In the 120 lb. division, the star-competitor for the 100 yard dash is XVilfred Collins, a boy that has been up to par this season. Running the 120 yard low hurdles is John Bonner, rapidly improving his form. Last but not least, sprinting the 220 yard dash is Willie Zenn, setting an outstanding time of 24:2. These boys should bring sure points to their team. Offering great chances in the City Meet will be the 130 lb. division. Poly has always been well known for its outstanding performances in the past. These 130's have suffered only one loss this season to the mighty Washington Eagles, 50-27. Running the 100 yard dash is Philip Chan, Bill Orias, and James Burroughs. Philip Chan. former 120's All City track man, is now hitting a time of 10:7. Entries for the 220 yard dash are James Smith and Ken Richter. Skimming the 120 low hurdles is George Bushneff and Bob Bleggi. Bushnell, a favorite for All City, is hitting a tremendous time of 14:3, two tenths of a second away from the record. Both these boys are evenly matched. Other entries are Ron Perry and Stewart Chase in the 440 yard dash, and Brian W olkin and Lloyd Costello in the 880 yard run. In the field events, Ron Henderson will take the credit in the high jump. Also starring are Nick Camera and Bob Canihan in the shot put. The 130's best feature is their 880 yard relay team which has come through the season unde- feated. The relay team is made up of hard runners consisting of Bob Bleggi, George Bushneff, Philip Chan, and James Burroughs. Most of these lightweights will be back next year to enhance Poly,s 1954 varsity Chances. Back row: Ray Maldonado, J. D. Young, George Mix, Don Brooks, Paul Zocchi, Jim Teller.

Poly vs. WashingtonePoly finished off its regular season in the coldest game of the year as a Classy XVashington hve outclassed us easily. Nick Camera and George Mix played very well and almost got us back into the contest. Poly vs. Galileo-Because 0f Mell Sims absence Poly was eliminated from the playoffs by an inferior Galileo five 55-45. George Mix and Jes Baxter played excellent games. Les Baxter, ForwardaPolys high point getter and only first string candidate for this years 130 team was versatile Les Baxter, key figure of Polyls high-scoring squad. He was also Poly's finest rebounding ace and ball hawk. George M ix, Forward-George was unparalleled in the league when it came to heads up play and split second passing. He was also an excellent jump and set shot expert from all around the keyhole. Mel Sims, Center-Mel proved the most amazing player on the squad by making first string in the first season of basketball he has ever seriously played. His specialty was a deadly jump shot from the post. Nick Camera, Guard-Nick was the sparkplug and hustle guy of the team, always fighting for loose balls and playing his heart out, win or lose. He also was a fine shot and excellent on rebound. Gino Balderseri, GuardeAlthough only playing half of the season, Gino proved to be a Vital factor in the teams early season success.

This game was played in soaking rain and the field was very muddy, the game breathtaking in thrills. In the game for the championship, Poly met the powerful Mission team, and in the second halftime the Bears shot two goals in and went on to win this tough see-saw battle by a close 2-1 margin.

CBUSS COUNTRY Polyis long-winded endurance men lost the A.A.A. championship cross-country meet for the first time in four years. All of Polytechnics cross-country champs of last year graduated, and left only two veterans, Ralph Furnari and Jim Blore. The cross-country team started with a completely new roster. Before the All-City meet, Poly,s runners were Victorious in their practice meets with other high schools. These victories were over Tamalpais, S. S. State, and Balboa. The five members of the team were: Melvyn Dowdell, Ralph Furnari, Joe Rus- sell, Jim Blore, and John Shankel. In the championship meet, Jim Blore was taken sick at the last minute and James Garcia replaced him. The meet was held on a marked course in Golden Gate Park, on November 19, 1953, ending with a lap around the 01d stadium. Melvyn Dowdell, a new runner for Poly fought the gruelling mile and seven eighths with Dennis Laterman of washing- ton? to take second place. A new record was set by the Washington runner of 9:20 mlnutes. Melvyn Dowdell of Poly also broke the record in the good time of 9:30 Hat. Ralph Furnari, the captain of the Poly team, turned in a powerful sixth place, with Joe Russell, James Garcia, and John Shankel fighting to keep the Parrotis championship hope alive. The team was also backed up by such outstanding runners as: Bill Harri- son, john Potasz, Edgar Ortez, John Brajkouick, and Roger Lau. This years cross-country team was coached by W. C. Lester.

Four editions were put out and the ad solicitors who helped finance them were Alex Barron, Gene Ellinger, Stan Fox, Charles Kengla, and Jeff Abitsch. The able reporters who ransacked the halls of Poly for bits of news were Alex Barr, Dan Mitchell, Gordon Burton, Blanche Rios, Lois Spreen, Mary Daley, Janice Stewart, Barbara Peterson, and Louise Bergera. As the term of Fall ,52 was a championship one for the football team, a great deal of the Parrot space was devoted to sports news. However, many other interesting and entertaining stories and columns appeared to make the editions something to look forward to. Besides the four regular editions, the staff put out editions of the ttBird, a mimeographed paper devoted entirely to sports, and the term play program for Dear Ruth! At the end of the term, Mr. Stout awarded gold cups for excellent work on the paper to Bar- bara Birdsall and Charles Kengla. C. Sale, Mr. D. Stout, B. O'Keefe, A. Offenham S. Heywood, V.

The term got off to a good start w1th the Spring,53 Block P 5kating Party on March 4. Over five hundred CAROL GARNER Polyites attended and it was a big success. The Girls, Block TTP held a playday at Skateland. They invited the girls from other schools and skated in the afternoon from three to five. The Boys' and Girls' Block TTPT, Picnic was on April 24. It was held fourth and fifth period in Golden Gate Park. On April 29 the GirlsT Block TTP had a picnic at Sigmund Stern Grove. All the other block societies in the city were represented. There were games of base- ball in the afternoon and singing in the evening. On May 9 the Block P held their annual dinner- dance at the New Tivoli Restaurant. This was the fmal event of the term. Fall '52 CAROL MCINERNY The California Scholarship Federation 01 Polytechnic High School is an honor society to which any student may belong providing his final grades meet the society's requirements. A student is admitted on the basis of having earned ten or more points. Three points are earned for each final hA grade, excluding gym, and one point is earned for each fmal iiBi, grade. One point may be obtained through a service to the school. Any final C grade does not earn points, but does not disqualify a student for membership. This term, as every term, the C.S.F. sponsored the Freshmen Reception, the official welcoming for the freshmen to acquaint them with P01ytechnids administrators and to introduce them to high school life. As usual it was a success, with the freshmen enjoying entertainment from their own class and other classes in the auditorium and then partaking 01' refreshments in the cafeteria. A membership in the C.S.F. will prove valuable to the graduate when applying for a university schol- arship and academic honors. HERB VOGLER Fall 1952 President DST. SPRING ,53 Back Row: D.

Through her many students have received excellent voice training. At Christmas time the Glee Club sang at the Emporium downtown. The orchestra, conducted by Mr. Delbert Schneider, is heard at the term play before the curtain rises, and during intermission. They also play at the graduation, where they play the processional and recessional. The band is also headed by Mr. Schneider.

The aim of the R.O.T.C. is to give the young men of America a sense of responsi- bility, and make better citizens. PolyTs R.O.T.C. has always ranked hrst among the high schools in San Francisco. The Poly Bat- talion for Fall T52 was under the command of Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Alison Louie, and under the able direction of Sergeants Newby, Randolph and Hofferber. Competition was held between Companies, platoons, squads and indi- viduals. The winners of each group were pre- sented with medals. Every term a certain day is set aside to pick the best company in the bat- talion. For Fall ,52 it was Company I. The R.O.T.C. held its ofhcers banquet at the Fort Mason OHicers Club. It was a great success and will be remembered by the graduating officers for a long time to come. f , g i , W 3+ COLOR GUARD Left to Right Cadet Cpl. P. Spira, Cadet Sgt. E. Norsworthy, Cadet Cpl. C.
