Witli the levy of the secret he mnrclies faster From strvngtli to strvrigtli mul for night brings clay. - -Emerson, Whether he is conscious of it or not, every student at Poly is in search of the key to the secret of happy and satisfying living. What a thrilling search it is because each worthwhile secret unlocked widens the horizon of appreciation and brings ever new and challenging secrets to be unlocked. For each Senior who leaves Poly this year my wish is that he may be able to find the key of the secret throughout his life. M. MENDENHALL Each year another Annual takes its place on the library shelf beside its predecessors as a record of an- other year's activities. Each year another group of sen- iors goes out to join the ever-grow- ing list of Poly graduates. The list began with the class of 1890, and with the class of 1938 totals approxi- mately 6900 alumni. Each year brings back to us stories of the suc- cess and failure of graduates seat- tered far and wide around the world. We cannot predict success for each one of you. We do wish each God- speed and hope that your experi- ences at Poly may prove to have been such as to fit you to meet life with courage and skill. F. L. MCEUEN I f , y V l f,f,ff,f.

There is seldom an occasion in life where music does not play its part: lullaby and dirge. fanfare and plain chant. symphony and folk song, all help to ease us along life's uncertain path. It is timely that the 1938 yearbook should be worked around a music theme. A. G. PAUL

,QV UQ Faculty Club President-H. M. MoREx.ANn Vice-President-EARL McDERMoN'r Secretary-Treasurer-MAY HENRY Social Chairman-EUNA GRABER 'I'he Faculty Club, under the able leadership of Mr. H. M. Moreland, has passed through another successful year. Functioning as always, chiefly as a social organization, we have been fortunate in having as our social chairman Miss Edna Graber, whose original ideas and untiring efforts have made this year's affairs particularly enjoyable. Our first event was a dinner in honor of our new members at which Mr. Earl McDermont, our vice-president, acted as master of ceremonies. This was followed by a Christmas party for the women and wives of the faculty. In February, Miss Esther Reaich's marriage to Mr. George Ferrall furnished us with a delightful opportunity for a tea. Our most intellectual meeting was an evening party at which Mr. Barton Bachmann gave a most instructive and entertaining lecture on photography, following this with a presentation of photographs with which he has won awards at various saloons in America and abroad. Other interesting events have been planned by Miss Graber to take place following spring vacation. In addition to our social activities, the Faculty Club has participated in the handling of memberships and donations for the Red Cross, Com- munity Chest, and various teacher organizations. We have also tried to show fitting recognition of the joys and sorrows which have come to our members and their families. l - 1435! A. 's-Q I, ., T. I l A- 'J . WT.,
